From this and the fact that Ms. Anderson, whom Mr. Golovkin had been dating, has been missing lately, he, Quinn, and Russell assumes that Golovkin is a cannibalistic serial killer and/or he makes drugs. Golovkin catches them snooping around his home and corrects them, and specifically mentions ''Film/RearWindow'' in reference to this trope, even pointing to a poster of the film on his rec room.
