9 Windows (2024) Movie Script

Okay, you need to decide soon.
-Oh, what about Thai?
-I just had some Wednesday.
Mexican?
There's a good one
on the next block.
-How about sushi?
-It doesn't really fill me up.
Fred, it's Liza's day.
It should be whatever she wants.
No, it's fine.
Mexican, Thai,
I don't really care.
No, your mom's right.
Sushi, it is.
There's a sushi place close by
that has five stars.
Technology, huh?
What'd we ever do without it?
-Right, Holly?
-[Holly] Hmm.
And to think that
our daughter is going to be
the next Bill Gates.
Not even remotely, Dad.
I just don't know why you have
to move to Washington, DC.
It's all over
the Internet, anyway.
For the last time,
everybody has to go through
training at Quantico.
Turn right at the next block.
[Holly] Oh, DC is so expensive.
What if you lived with us?
You could save a ton of money.
Help us pay back those
student loans even quicker.
Oh, my God, you guys sound
like a broken record.
Let's just talk
about pleasant things.
Hey, kiddo,
we're really proud of you.
You know that.
-I know, Dad.
-[brake squealing]
-[thudding]

[muffled voices echoing]
[ominous music playing]
[video chatter overlapping]
[somber music playing]
[guitar music playing]
So we first met
at an art gallery.
It was this really fancy
avant-garde art exhibit.
-And she--
-[both chuckling]
I did not pay attention
to the invite,
and I did not dress
accordingly.
Left leg in.
You can adjust your sitz bones
if you need to.
Remember that string?
Bring them all the way up
to the heavens.
Flex that foot.
It's going to hurt,
but it's going to be
better for you.
All right,
now bring your arms up...
So far,
everything's gone smoothly.
So when do you think
you're going to be
done with it?
[Liza] We should be able
to start beta testing by Friday.
So soon. You are the best.
That's why you hired me.
[chuckles]
Listen, um, we're going to have
the company retreat
in Colorado this year.
-You should come.
-I, uh...
I don't think I can. [chuckles]
I talked to the hotel,
and they can accommodate you.
Thanks, Tamsin, it's just--
with therapy and everything,
I don't-- I don't think
I have the time.
Of course.
I didn't even think of that.
I'm sorry.
I'll call you Friday
and let you know where we're at.
Okay. Bye.
[somber music playing]
[Stella] Calendar reminder.
Appointment with Jeff
in five minutes.
My favorite time of the week.
Stella, set a reminder
to call Tamsin
at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
[Stella] Setting a reminder.
-[mouse clicking]
-Okay, let's see
what these losers
are up to today.
All right. Just another
20 reps.
Come on. You can do it.
Push through the burn.
You got this.
And, five...
[groans]
[Miss Body] Come on,
nice and low. Three, two...
"I pleasure myself
to you every day."
-[Miss Body] And one. All right.
-Yuck.
[Miss Body]
Go to your thigh ones.
[laughs]
"You don't need to be
a size zero
to be beautiful."
You know you're a fat cow.
[video playing in background]
-[keyboard clacking]
-"Anorexia...
is treatable.
Get some help."
-[laughs]
-[Miss Body] Thighs...
[Liza grunts]
Now, I want you
to be as concave as you can.
I just wish
I had someone to help.
[sniffles] I'm just so tired
of being alone.
Attention seeking much?
[grunts]
-[mouse clicking]
-[keyboard clacking]
"If it's so bad,
why don't you just
end it all?"
[woman in video] I just wish
I had someone...
[Stella] You have a visitor
at the front door.
Stella, open front door.
-[lock clicks open]
-[Stella] Front door open.
[Jeff sighs]
[uplifting music playing]
Hey. I think I'm a little early.
What's wrong with her?
[grunts] She does that
almost every day.
Maybe we should call someone.
She seems really upset.
No.
That's exactly what she wants.
People who are serious
about killing themselves
don't go around
posting it online.
You are brutal.
[Jeff chuckles]
All right.
Let's get started.
Hmm.
You ready?
I thought
you were going to pick me up.
I can help you,
but I think
you can do it on your own.
[chuckles] Well...
all right, Liza.
You know, one of these days
I'm going to report you
for sexual harassment.
-[Liza laughs]
-All right.
So who are you
going to report me to?
To my girlfriend, for starters.
You have a girlfriend.
Of course you do.
How long have
you guys been together?
How's the pain?
Oh, the patch is helping,
but I think
I need a higher dosage.
I've been having
to supplement it.
You shouldn't be taking
anything else.
You know that.
Tell that to my body
when I can't fall asleep
from the pain.
Try natural remedies, Liza.
You know,
just keep your mind occupied
with other things, meditate.
Okay, Dad.
And have you
actually tried lying in bed
instead of sleeping
in your chair?
No.
I've got too much work to sleep.
Oh, yeah, I can see that.
So much trolling to do.
[laughs] It's a full-time job.
[sighs]
[man in video] ...without adding
any oil, any fat,
[man] any butter, any cream,
any cheese.
Uh, a few mushrooms, sauted...
[groans in pain]
[man in video] ...low heat,
slow cooking, controlled...
Oh! [laughs]
Just keep
your mind occupied, Liza.
[exhales sharply]
[laughs]
[exhales] Okay.
Put it around just where your
mouth goes,
and then throw it in there.
It just adds a little
more of the citrus flavor
from the bourbon itself...
[Liza] Where are the attention
seekers when you need them?
[man in video] Boop! Boop!
Boop! Boop! Boop!
[sighs]
[man] It's pretty easy,
it's literally bourbon...
[wheelchair squeaking]
Natural remedies, my ass, Jeff.
-[pills clattering]
-[Liza sighs]
[ominous music playing]
[dog whining]
[loud whimpering]
[whimpering becomes frantic]
[whining continues]
What the...
[ominous music continues]
Oh, God.
No.

"User iamhenrylee
just posted a video
of killing a dog.

Extra strong.
[Stella] Making two cups
of coffee, extra strong.
-[mouse clicking]
-[sighs]
[keyboard clacking]
[sighs]
Good. They took you down.
[somber music playing]
[sighs]
Hi, yeah.
I would like to report
something I saw online.
[man in video]
...love to be here.
I'm your host and travel agent,
Chris Marks, and welcome...
to Highlands, North Carolina.
So you never
actually saw the dog?
No, but I saw the bag moving,
and I heard the dog screaming.
Well, what about the username
on the website?
"iamhenrylee."
Had you ever seen that before?
Not that I can remember.
You know, for someone in the
Cyber Investigation Division,
you would think you'd be
more technologically advanced.
Yeah, I know
it's a little old-school, but...
these can't be hacked.
You have any idea
where this person is?
He must be here.
This group is meant for people
to advertise
their businesses locally.
They teach tutorials or do vlogs
in the hopes
that people will like them
and give them their business.
Well, what about her?
What's she selling?
At least that's how
it's supposed to work.
There's a lot
of lonely people out there.
So, look.
There may
or may not be a crime here.
But if there is,
it's only a misdemeanor.
What?
Killing an animal
is only a misdemeanor?
Animals are classified
as property.
That's crazy!
I agree,
but I don't make the law.
So even if there is
a dog in that sack,
you have to be patient, okay?
I'm gonna take off.
Please, here's my card.
Call me if you need me.
[overlapping video chatter]

[man in video] ...waterfall
is 65 feet
of pure joy and wonder.
[many voices speaking at once]
[man in video] One of the things
that makes Dry Falls so unique
among other waterfalls is that
you actually have the ability
to walk underneath it.

[overlapping video chatter]
[tense music playing]

-[keyboard clacking]
Hi. Um...
I was wondering if anyone
was on last night.
Around one o'clock
in the morning.
I-- I think...
No, I know I saw a man
kill a dog.
I-- it was inside a bag
and he lit it on fire.
[gasps]
You know, I was just trying
to do something nice,
but if you losers
don't want to help, I...
[sighs]
[wheelchair squeaking]
[sighs heavily]
See, Jeff?
I'm going to sleep in my bed
like a good little girl.
[man screaming]
[eerie music playing]

John Wayne.

[tense, ominous music]
[videos playing in background]
So do you think other people
saw the video as well?
Yeah, there were
several dozen other people
streaming at the time.
Well, then how come you think
nobody reported it but you?
The bystander effect.
People are less likely
to offer help
when there are other witnesses.
They think
if it's a real emergency,
someone else
is going to call it in.
Well, how do you know
about the bystander effect?
I was a double major.
Studied computer science
and criminal justice,
which led me
to a few psychology courses.
That's very impressive, truly.
So what we're going
to have to do
is reach out to the website,
see if we can get
a copy of the video,
or at least the IP address
that he used.
[Liza] See?
They deleted the account
almost immediately
after the video went black.
-"iamjohnwayne." Weird.
-Hmm.
Before it was "iamhenrylee."
I have to be honest.
We don't even know
if we have jurisdiction on this.
So, what, you're just going
to hang out, have a margarita
until someone else
does something about this?
Listen to me,
Miss Smart-Ass Crime Major.
There are laws
that we have to follow,
such as a local crime,
or even any crime at all.
Why don't you leave
the detective work to me?
[Stella] Calendar reminder.
Time to take your medication.
[sighs]
We are going to
have to figure out
if this is a hoax or not.
Yeah, well, you have at least
a couple dozen other witnesses
you can ask, then.
Well, I'm going to go talk
to the people from the website.
In the meantime...
stop playing online detective.
Leave the investigation to us.
[Jeff] But I thought everything
you do online can be traced.
Most people, yes.
But it's easy
to become a ghost online.
So you're saying there's
no way of catching this guy?
I wish I could hack
into the website's admin page.
I swear I bet
I could find him in a second.
What?
[tense music playing]
This is the most excited
I have ever seen you.
I guess it's because this
is what I thought I'd be doing.
You know,
before the accident.
What, solve crimes?
-You still can.
-No, I doubt that.
Not with my mental
health record.
Liza, after what
you went through,
it's normal that
you would battle depression.
And two failed suicide attempts.
[Jeff]
I thought it was only one.
The first time was pills.
Second time,
I thought I'd get it right.
Hey, but you're still here.
[Liza sniffles]
Did you order the exerciser yet?
It comes in on Thursday.
[Jeff] Nice.
[heartfelt music playing]
Come on.
So, have you been sleeping
in your bed, at least?
Most nights.
Well, I guess that's progress.
[Stella] You have a visitor
at the front door.
Stella, open the front door.
[lock clicks open]
Oh.
-Did you find him?
-[Detective Boyle] No.
But I was able to interview
some of the other people
from the website.
The ones who saw the video,
and they all think it's a hoax.
Of course they do.
[Detective Boyle]
Well, the website deletes
all the videos
once the account is closed.
But I was able
to pull up an IP address.
And?
It led us to a 72-year-old
retired teacher in Decatur.
It appears that whoever this is
uploaded the videos
on her router.
Well, he must be
somewhere nearby.
There's got to be hundreds
of buildings around here,
even if we had
the time, and manpower.
You can't find it
for a case like this?
A case like what?
We don't even know
if this is real.
That boy was not acting.
Let me ask you something,
and please, don't take offense.
Any of the drugs that she's on,
can they cause hallucinations?
[scoffs]
Opioids can cause some
confusion,
but I've never heard
of them causing hallucinations.
I'm not hallucinating.
Look, I'm not saying that
you made the whole thing up.
Just the severity
of it, perhaps.
With drugs, especially opioids,
it's hard to tell
what is real from what isn't.
Excuse me, Detective.
When I've worked with Liza,
she's never shown any signs
of being mentally unfit.
Um...
Here's what she wrote
to one of the other users
on the web page.
And I-- I quote,
"If it is all that bad,
why don't you just end it all?"
What?
How did--
I asked the website
to send me all your posts.
And I have to tell you,
there's a lot of horrible,
hurtful, and angry comments
on here, young lady.
Is it true?
I mean, I knew you liked to
give people a hard time, but...
Wow.
I'd better be going.
I have another appointment.
Look,
I'm sorry to cause a rift
between you and your friend.
The case is still open.
I'm going to continue
investigating.
But whatever you do, please,
please stay off
the website, okay?

[somber music playing]
[chuckling]
[laughs]

[keyboard clacking]
[video chatter overlapping]
[TV sound muted]
[gentle, somber music]
[Stella] You have a visitor
at the front door.
Stella, turn on
outside intercom.
[Stella] Intercom on.
Who is it?
[Jeff] Hey, it's me, Jeff.
Stella, open front door.
-[lock clicks open]
-[Stella] Front door open.
[Jeff] Hey.
Hey, I'm sorry I didn't call,
but I was close by,
and I just wanted to--
No. Listen.
I'm so embarrassed
that you saw what I wrote.
I should have never judged you.
After what you've been through.
I finally started
seeing a therapist.
That's good to hear.
And I realize that
none of this makes any sense.
But figuring out this thing,
these videos...
it's important to me.
I get that.
[uplifting music playing]
You know you're not supposed
to have alcohol
with the medicines
you're taking.
It's just one glass.
You want one?
Yeah.
[video chatter overlapping]
[Jeff] I love my job.
It's just so frustrating
having to deal with all
the red tape at the hospital.
I've had to stop seeing patients
because they lost
their insurance.
[Stella] Reminder.
Jeff says to sleep in your bed.
[chuckles] See?
I do listen to you.
What does that say about you
that you need a reminder?
I should get going
so you can get some sleep.
Yeah.
I'm sure you have
big Saturday night plans
with your girlfriend.
I don't have a girlfriend.
But you said that...
Are they on 24/7?
[Liza] No.
Saturday nights
are pretty active.
Can we watch one?
-[Liza chuckles] Yeah. Sure.
-[Jeff chuckles]
[overlapping video chatter
continues]
[Miss Body] Stretch whatever way
feels good for your body.
Every day.
All right, remember to breathe.
So she makes these videos
so that people will hire her?
[sighs] Yeah.
She's a fitness instructor.
Great job.
[Jeff] Huh.
Keep your core tight.
[Liza] She's local,
if you're interested.
Hug those thighs.
Can we watch another one?
Sure.
[Miss Body] And now, Happy Baby.
Hold your feet.
Rock gently, side to side.
[woman in video] I have
a coffee date tomorrow.
Miss Lonely. She seems happy.
What's she selling?
-Self-pity.
-[Jeff scoffs] Wow.
I'm sorry, but what does
she have to feel bad about?
She could just put makeup on,
and she can go on a diet.
There's even surgeries
for weight loss.
Hmm.
Unlike your condition, you mean.
May I remind you
that you choose not to do
all the treatments
your doctor ordered.
That's different.
[Jeff] How is it different?
Because it was my fault.
You got hit by a semi-truck.
You weren't even driving.
-How is that your fault?
-Because.
Just tell me, please, Liza.
I really want to understand.
Because I wanted sushi.
What?
My dad wanted
to go to a restaurant
that was around the corner.
[dramatic music playing]
I was the one
that put us on that road.
How could you have known?
It should have been me.
Not them.
But you survived that accident.
And on top of that,
not many people survive
when they cut their wrists
the way you did.
You're alive for a reason.
[woman in video]
...the same problem.
Bills, the kids,
fixing up the house.
But you have
to make time for intimacy.
We have sex
on average three times a week.
Even after
seven years of marriage.
Are they going to show us?
I mean,
they might as well, right?
[both laughing]
They can be a bit racy,
but they-- they do--
they do therapy together.
Hey, if I wanted
to start my own company,
let's just say,
I could advertise on this site?
Yeah.
You want to start
your own company?
I just don't know if I could do
what these people do
to drum up business.
Well, I could help you,
if you'd like.
You would do that for me?
Yeah.
[ominous music playing]
-[gasps]
-[mouse clicking]
[keyboard clacking]
Is this the same video
you saw before?
[Liza] No, it's different.
What are you doing?
I'm installing a software
that lets me record the screen.
[Liza breathing heavily]
[dark, ominous music]
[heartbeat thudding]
[panting]
[hyperventilating]
[chair creaking]
[frantic whimpering]
[screaming]
[hysterical screaming]
He's got a knife.
Done.
-Are you getting this?
-Yes.
They're not gonna be able to say
I'm imagining it this time.
[woman screaming frantically]
[terrified screams]
[frantic screaming]
Can you do something else?
I mean, I could hack the site
to trace
where it's being streamed,
but that's highly illegal.
[screaming continues]
[woman shrieking]
[Liza gasps loudly]
I-- I-- I gotta call the cops.
[repeated thunks]
Yes, uh, someone's being killed
online right now.
It-- it's a live stream.
It's called share.info.
No, not .com, .info.
They're gonna get him.
You recorded it this time.
[Stella] You have a visitor
at the front door.
Stella, open the front door.
-[lock clicks open]
-[Stella] Front door open.
Hello, detective.
What, are you living here now?
I'm just visiting.
I thought you were
just the physical therapist.
[Jeff sighs]
And what brings you back here?
[Detective Boyle] Why, were you
expecting somebody else?
Yeah, well.
Sorry, you're out of luck.
A call came into the station,
they saw the address,
and they referred
the case to me.
-Aren't we lucky?
-Apparently.
Hmm. So what do you
have for me now?
-A video, for one.
-And I saw it, too.
This was no hoax.
All right, let's see it.
Let's queue it up.
[woman screaming frantically]
It does look real.
It is real.
The account was deleted
right after the video,
just like the last one.
So it's Henry Lee,
John Wayne, and Danny.
Does that mean something to you?
Nothing I'm willing
to admit to at this time.
It was shot in the same place
as the other videos.
Well, if it's in a basement,
it can't be
any of the apartments
around the teacher's building.
Yeah, that's definitely
not an apartment.
It has to be in a remote place.
Can you get me
a copy of the video?
I'm way ahead of you.
[Detective Boyle] Thanks.
I think we have enough
to reach out
to someone I know at the FBI.
I'll get back to you.
-[door clicks closed]
-I should get going, too.
Thanks for staying
as long as you did.
Good night.
[sighs]
[door clicks closed]
[Agent Thurgood] They deactivate
the account after every post,
and that erases the video.
You keep saying "they."
You think it's multiple people?
Well, it's based on
the multiple use of names.
Do you think
it's multiple people?
No, I think it's just one man.
Look, let's keep in mind
that the MOs are different.
Yeah, but serial killers
can evolve.
I forgot to tell you, Larry.
Miss Liza here
is a bit of an amateur sleuth.
I studied
criminal justice in college.
-Should we wait for him?
-[Liza] Him, who?
I hope you don't mind.
I invited your boyfriend
to join us.
Uh, Jeff's-- he's-- he's not--
You know, Larry, that was
supposed to be a bit of a joke
between you and I.
Why do I get the feeling
you two know each other?
Well, we were partners once.
[Detective Boyle]
That was a long time ago,
before he sold his soul
to the demon Feds.
It's before
I moved up in the world.
[Detective Boyle scoffs]
[Stella] You have a visitor
at the front door.
[Liza] Stella,
open the front door.
-[lock clicks open]
-[Stella] Front door open.
Hey, I got here
as fast as I could.
[Agent Thurgood] Yeah,
uh, I'm the guy who called.
Thanks for coming.
Jeff, this is
Special Agent Thurgood.
I'm retired.
I was a profiler for the FBI.
Tim, Detective Boyle here,
asked me
to come and consult
on this case.
So the FBI is not involved?
There's still some uncertainty
as to what
we're dealing with here.
I just felt the evidence
was compelling enough
to bring in an expert.
I already told Detective Boyle
everything I know.
What I'm hoping
is by bringing you together,
you might remember something
that can help us.
[Jeff] Like what?
The video you gave us,
it starts kind of late.
So what I'm wondering
is if either one of you remember
if the killer came
from behind the camera.
I was installing
the recording software.
I didn't notice anything.
Why would that make
a difference, though?
Well, if he came
from behind the camera,
that means he pressed record.
If not, that means
somebody else was there.
-[Jeff] I don't remember.
-I don't know.
And there's this.
Now, you see,
he uses his left hand.
Now, do you remember if he used
his left hand the other times?
He used his right hand to pour
the gas on the dog video,
and he used both hands
in the second video.
It's hard to tell.
So we can't rule out
multiple people.
Wait, you're saying
he's using the left hand.
I don't think that's right.
The image is reversed.
He's using the front
camera on his phone,
just like you would
to take a selfie.
It reverses the image.
That's a good point.
So you're sure
it was the same guy?
Yeah, I would bet
my life on that.
-[cellphone chimes]
-Now, let's not use those words.
Please.
Huh.
These are kind of
hard to track, as well.
Look, if that's it,
we've got to get back
to the station.
That's all I got for now.
Uh, thanks for coming up.
[Jeff] Yeah, anything you need.
Daniel Harold Rolling,
also known
as the Gainesville Ripper.
He killed five students
over the course of four days
in Gainesville, Florida.
He beheaded one of his victims,
and that's what I think
the killer was doing
when the video was cut off.
So that's our Danny.
I think so.
What about John Wayne?
Did he ever play
a serial killer in his movies?
[Liza] "John Wayne."
Boom.
John Wayne Gacy.
He tortured and killed
33 young men and boys,
mostly by asphyxiation,
and at times using
a garrote he made himself,
and all of his victims
were found buried in his ranch.
Maybe that's what he's doing
with the bodies.
He's just burying them
in that basement.
[Liza] Maybe.
What about the first one?
[Liza] "Henry Lee Lucas."
Henry Lee.
I've never heard of him.
Yeah, he's not
the most infamous,
but probably the most deadly.
He confessed to 3,000 killings.
-3,000?
-[chuckles] Yeah.
But the police
only convicted him for nine
because they thought
he was exaggerating.
I've actually been wondering,
why keep the account open?
Keeps me distracted.
I mean,
I'm all alone in this big house
in the middle of nowhere.
What about your friends?
They had a hard time
being with my friends
after the accident,
and those who didn't,
I pushed them away.
Hmm.
I can be
kind of a jerk sometimes.
Just sometimes?
[Jeff laughs]
I'm just kidding.
All right,
show me what else you got.
Okay, so I've been watching
this video over and over
to see if I could
find any clues, and...
[woman screaming and train
rattling over speakers]
What is it?
It's a commuter train.
Here, listen.
I cleaned up the audio.
[train rattling over speakers]
The Blue Line.
At the far ends at Suburbs.
Yes.
So I'm sure
the FBI is on to this, but...
do you think
I should show Thurgood anyway?
Y-yes, definitely.
Liza...
I'm impressed.
Well, you're easy.
[laughs]
I better get going.
Oh, off to your plans with
your non-existent girlfriend?
What?
It's okay.
Wait, did I tell you
at one point
that I had a girlfriend?
It's hard to keep
your lies straight.
It's not what you think.
Oh, you weren't blowing me off?
It's my standard answer
for all of my patients.
For the record,
I wasn't hitting on you.
-Oh, no, I know.
-Mm-hmm.
You just love making people
feel uncomfortable.
Hey, it's an acquired skill
I've been working very hard
to perfect this last year.
I'll see you Wednesday.
[Liza] Yeah.
[Jeff] Bye.
[Stella] Calendar reminder.
Time to take your medication.
Stella, make a cup of coffee.
Three sugars.
[Stella] Making
one cup of coffee,
three sugars.
It's been three days since
our date and he hasn't called.
I knew he wouldn't
be interested.
Oh, my God. Cry me a river.
I haven't had some
in over a year.
A-- and some of you have been
really helpful and supportive.
But some of you have been
horrible to me.
Most of you.
Y-you have
no sympathy for anyone else.
-Honestly I...
-Oh, please, tell me that.
Sometimes I just don't think
that I want to be
a part of a world
-that can be so cold.
-[laughs]
Oh, I got you.
[pills rattling]
[woman on video whispering]
I did it.
[sobs softly] I did it.
I bet you're all happy now.
[line ringing]
-[operator over phone] 911.
-Hi, yeah.
There is a woman
committing suicide online.
[operator] Excuse me?
Uh, yeah,
her name is Christina Rodriguez.
She lives
in 4512 Arrowood Boulevard,
apartment 12C.
[operator] And what
did you say she was doing?
She just swallowed
a bunch of pills.
Please send paramedics
right away.
I'm starting to feel sleepy.
[operator] And who are you?
That doesn't matter.
Please send medics right away.
They're going to
have to pump her stomach.
[operator]
What is she doing now?
[man on video sobbing]
[operator]
Ma'am, are you still there?
I need you
to talk to me, please.
The medics are almost there.
Please answer me.
Yeah, uh, actually,
you need to send a police car--
many police cars
to 2513 Connelly Circle.
Uh-- uh,
it'll be someone close to,
uh-- uh, apartment 412.
[operator] Where?
I thought you gave me--
Yes, and that too.
I just--
thi-- this is something else.
This is someone
who has a man tied up.
[operator] I don't understand.
[exclaims] Never mind.
Just send the ambulance
to the other address.
[Boyle over phone]
This better be good.
He's streaming again.
He-- he's somewhere
near 2513 Connelly Circle,
a-- apartment 12-- 412, 412.
-[Boyle] How do you know that?
-I-- I just know, okay?
You need to get there
before he stops streaming.
-[Boyle] What did you say? 2513?
-Connelly Circle, 412.
[Boyle] All right,
let me see what I can do.
Hurry!
[knocking on door over speakers]
[man on video] Miss Rodriguez!
Miss Rodriguez,
please open the door.
Just kick the door down,
you idiots!
-[drill whirring]
-No!
[screaming]
Please! Please!
Please, no! Please!
Please! Please don't do this!
No! No!
[screams] No!
No!
No! No! No!
No! No! No! Please!
[wet squelching over speakers]
[Liza sobbing]
[Liza] I think
he's copying Jeffrey Dahmer.
Dahmer used to drill holes
into his victims' heads
and inject them
with hydrochloric acid.
It would make them more docile.
Yeah, Dahmer
also dismembered his victims
and then dissolved
the bodies in acid.
Maybe that's why
we haven't found any bodies yet.
Well, this time
I got everything.
It definitely seems like
he's coming out
from behind the camera.
You know,
the police couldn't get there
before he logged off.
They set the perimeter, but...
it's just not easy
when they don't know
what you look like.
I think I can help with that.
[Stella] Calendar reminder.
Appointment
with Jeff in five minutes.
[Thurgood] That's him?
[Liza] It's just like the grill
in the dog video.
Liza, that's
a very common grill.
Yes, but I found parts
of his face
reflected onto the knife
he was using.
I put them through a facial
recognition software, and...
I'll admit,
I-- I'm impressed at the...
I gotta say,
you're way nicer than Boyle.
It's hard to believe
you two were partners once.
Listen, you gotta
give Boyle a break.
He's one of the good guys.
Look, he got injured
chasing a perp, right?
And the department tried to
force him into retirement,
but he refused.
He suggested they start
the Cybercrime Division instead.
Well, that's funny, since he's
so technologically challenged.
Yeah, but he's got
a team for that.
He handles the investigations.
I guess you're right.
He'll never retire.
Just like you.
Hey, you say you're retired.
You can be on a beach anywhere,
but here you are.
Yeah, I guess
it's in my blood, too.
I just...
I can't really retire
until I catch every last psycho
like this one.
Maybe after I catch this one,
I'll find that beach.
[Stella] You have
a visitor at the front door.
Stella, open the front door.
[Stella] Front door open.
Excellent timing.
[Jeff] You're here again.
I hope it's good news.
[Thurgood] Liza was just
explaining how she thinks
this guy in the picture
is our potential killer.
So the profile
just says J. Hignite, but...
he doesn't have any friends.
He doesn't post much
except for weird pictures of art
or dark song lyrics.
Any violent posts?
I mean, nothing that says,
"I'm gonna drill a hole
into a man's head," but--
He did what?
Last night,
there was another one.
[Thurgood] He is really weird.
Well, this is the address
where the picture was taken.
You took this off
the digital imprint
of the picture?
It was taken six months ago.
[chuckles] I gotta say it again,
I'm really impressed.
Have you ever thought about
doing this professionally?
I was supposed
to start work with the FBI...
but then this happened.
You know,
they always need consultants.
And the requirements
are much more lenient.
The picture's in the drive.
Thanks, I'll follow up on this.
Um, one thing.
How did you know where he
and the suicide girl were?
I might have hacked
into the website for the info.
You know you saved
that girl's life, right?
Is she gonna be okay?
Yeah, yeah, they've got her in
a psychiatric hospital for now.
Good. I'm glad
she's getting help.
-Bye.
-Thanks.
I feel like I missed a lot.
You have no idea.
You want to catch me up?
Yeah, it might take a while.
Should I order takeout?
Deal.
How is it that you know
so much about serial killers?
Well, I took a course
in college,
and I found the subject
truly fascinating.
Well, you wanted
to make a difference,
and you did.
I mean, you've helped the police
solve a criminal case.
I just wish
I could do more, you know?
I saw the look
on Thurgood's face.
He was really impressed
with you.
Impressed enough
to ignore my history?
This happens all the time
when it's windy.
Does it?
I swear, these power lines
were made of dental floss.
I see that still works.
[chuckles]
Yeah, backup batteries.
It's sort of a requirement
for the job.
All right.
Okay, uh, I think
you might need a new lighter.
"The early bird gets the worm,
but the second mouse
gets the cheese."
What does yours say?
"A pleasant surprise
is in store for you."
[Liza chuckles]
I think I know what that means.
What?
I'm so sorry.
That's highly
unprofessional of me.
I've been doing this
for eight years,
and I've never
developed feelings
for any of my patients before.
It's not your fault.
It's the Florence
Nightingale effect.
The what?
It's when the caregiver develops
feelings for the patient.
That's not it. At all.
Then what is it?
I don't know.
You've just changed so much.
You're so different now.
I don't look like that.
And that's a good thing
because she does nothing
for me at all.
Listen, Jeff,
I just started going to therapy,
and I think
it's important for me
to try to work on getting better
and-- and work on myself.
Yeah.
You're absolutely right.
I'm sorry.
I'd better get going.
But you'll still
work with me, right?
I'm going to my own soon.
So I think they'll be
assigning you a new therapist.
So I won't see you again?
I don't know.
At least not until next week.
[somber music plays]
[overlapping speaking over TV]
[chatter stops]
[grunts]
Police are asking
for the public's help
with finding this person.
His name is Jason Hignite.
Police say that
he is a person of interest
in the disappearance
of three unnamed people.
They identified him.
Anyone with information
on his whereabouts
should contact the police
tip line on the screen.
Mr. Hignite was identified
as a person of interest
after certain videos
were posted
on a community website.
One of the users on that site
reported the videos
to the police
that began with the burning
of what police think was a dog.
[phone ringing]
Thurgood?
Liza, sorry I haven't been
in touch recently.
No, it's okay. I saw the news.
Boyle is going to be
stopping by later on
with some missing persons
for you to go through.
See if you recognize
the man in the first video.
Okay. Anything I can do to help.
Hey, I'm sorry
the police mentioned you
in association
with the investigation.
-Should I be worried?
-[Thurgood] No, no.
This hasn't been released
to the general public yet,
but we have him
on surveillance camera
at the airport.
-He's gone.
-Gone?
-Where?
-[Thurgood] Caracas.
If he tries to
come back in the country,
we'll get him.
[sighs]
Poor Venezuelans, though.
We turned it over to Interpol.
He's their problem now.
[Liza] So what's going to happen
with the investigation here?
Well, the police
are looking for bodies,
but he has no cards registered
in his name.
He has no employment record.
He's been living off the grid.
That basement could be anywhere.
Yeah, anywhere that one,
has a basement,
two, has a place
to dispose of bodies,
and three, is close enough
to the Blue Line.
Yeah, I'm-- I'm sure
the police will find it.
But, uh, listen,
I got another consultation gig
up in Minnesota,
but before I go,
I wanted to tell you how I'm...
how impressed I am
with your work.
What happened to the beach?
[Thurgood] Who am I kidding?
Boyle and I
will die doing this job.
Yeah. I had a feeling.
You should be
getting a call soon.
From whom?
You'll see. We'll be in touch.
[computer ringing]
Safe travels.
Liza.
I swear,
I'll have it done by tomorrow.
That's not why
I'm calling, actually.
I just got a call from someone
with the Department of Justice
looking for
a recommendation for you.
The Department of Justice?
Are we losing you?
I know the feds
can't pay what we can,
so is it something else?
Are you unhappy with us?
I honestly don't know
why they would be
calling, unless...
Unless?
Unless they're reconsidering me.
Whatever they offer you,
I'll double it.
All right? I cannot lose you.
-You're too good.
-Thanks, Tamsin.
I don't know
exactly what's going on,
but as soon as I do,
I'll let you know.
Okay.
[chuckles]
[tense music plays]
[Stella] Making two cups
of coffee, extra strong.
[keys clacking]
[Stella]
The time is ten o'clock.
Reminder, Jeff says
to sleep in your bed.
[Liza chuckles and exclaims]
[laughs]
[line ringing]
[Jeff over phone]
Hi, thank you for calling.
Please leave
your name and number
and I'll get back to you
as soon as possible.
[line beeps]
Hey, Jeff.
I-- I'm sorry
I'm calling you so late.
I just... [chuckles]
I just had some news
that I wanted to tell you,
and I just know
you're the only one
that would understand
how big this is.
I found the basement!
Before the police,
can you believe it?
[computer ringing]
Um...
Anyway, that's
what I wanted to say.
We'll talk soon, okay?
Hi.
Thanks for taking my call.
You're okay.
When I couldn't find
your profile,
I thought something
might have happened.
They told me you're the one
who called the police.
I guess you saved my life.
No, they saved your life,
not me.
I just don't get it.
You've been saying horrible
things to me for months.
And then help me?
I am so sorry. I'm so sorry.
I just...
I was in a bad place.
What do you have to be
in a bad place about?
You're pretty.
You're thin.
What happened to you?
Car accident last year.
And...
both my parents died.
I'm sorry.
It's still no excuse
for how I treated you.
Uh, I gotta go,
but can I call you another day?
Please do.
[computer beeps]
What just happened?
I lost power.
Happens all the time
when it rains.
Oh, okay.
Well, I'll let you go.
[lighter clicking]
[Stella] Front door open.
[tense instrumental]
Stella, lock the front door.
-[lock clicks]
-[Stella] Door locked.
You're fine.
He's in Venezuela.
Nice time to act up on me.
[tense music plays]
[music crescendos]
Liza!
Liza, I just got your message.
[line ringing]
[Boyle over phone]
To what do I owe this honor?
Hey, I just got to Liza's house,
but she's not here,
and the door was wide open.
[Boyle]
Well, maybe she just went out.
And left the door open?
[Boyle] All right.
I can send a patrol car over,
but I don't think
there's anything
to worry about.
Our guy's been clocked
very far from here.
Yes, please.
Send someone anyway.
She had called me
and left me a message
that she knows
where the basement is
and some other details
about the case.
[Boyle] All right, done.
If it makes you feel better.
[line beeps]
[suspenseful music plays]
Christ, Liza, where are you?
[chuckles] You did it.
You found it.
[gasps]
[line ringing]
[Boyle over phone] We're
on our way to you right now.
No, no, no.
You-- you need to go to
2635 North Crossing Street now.
[Boyle] What?
He has Liza tied up
in a basement.
-You need to hurry up.
-[Boyle] Fuck.
187 in progress.
[screaming]
[whimpering]
No, no! No!
[Jason] You're awake.
Surprise.
[whimpers]
I saw the scar.
I'll just be doing you a favor.
I am Jason.
This work of art is all mine.
[line ringing]
Where are you?
[Boyle over phone]
Hang tight, almost there.
[whimpering]
-[angle grinder whirring]
-[screams] No, no!
Oh, my God. No.
[Liza sobbing]
We're gonna have ourselves
a barbecue.
No. Please-- please no!
No!
[screams] No! No!
I'm gonna start at your legs.
You won't be able to feel it,
but you'll be able to watch me
take you apart piece by piece.
-Then your nipples.
-No, please!
[screams]
-[Liza exclaiming]
-[Jason grunting]
Yes.
[Boyle] What happened?
She just got loose.
[breathing heavily]
[laughs] Yes.
Come on.
[screams]
[sobbing]
Come on, Liza, get out of there.
Get out of there.
Liza, look--
Liza, look behind you.
Look right behind you.
[Liza screaming]
[Liza sobbing]
Come on, Liza.
You can do this.
Look right behind you, come on.
[Liza coughing and screaming]
[screams] Help me!
Fuck! No!
No!
-[Jason grunting]
-[Liza] No!
[Jason laughing]
[Liza screaming and sobbing]
[Jason laughing]
Liza.
[gunshots banging]
[body thudding on stairs]
Hey, hey.
I'm going to put a little
pressure on right here.
Hey, Jeff,
if you can hear me,
she's alive.
Breathing is slow,
but she's alive.
[exhales heavily]
Is she conscious?
[Boyle]
Try not to move, sweetheart.
Everything's going to be okay.
-Yeah.
-Okay.
All right.
Put her on the phone.
Let-- let me talk to her.
Somebody wants to talk to you.
Hang on.
Hey, hey. Liza,
don't say anything.
It's Jeff.
Just please,
please keep fighting.
I need to kiss you again.
-[sirens wailing]
-Please.
Jeff, I can hear
the cars pulling up right now.
I'll call you from the hospital.
Stay with me, honey.
Liza, you did good.
You really nailed
this son of a bitch, honey.
[Liza breathing heavily]
Hey, [indistinct].
[overlapping speaking over TV]
Here we are, madame.
-Thank you.
-You're very much welcome.
So...
I was thinking...
let's take a drive up
the coast this weekend.
No, we can't.
It's Boyle's retirement party.
We're invited and we have to go.
Plus, Thurgood is going.
Okay.
But then we have to go
the Saturday after.
Before you leave for
that conference in Quantico.
You don't have plans that day?
It's my company now.
I can create my own schedule.
Well, in that case, I'm in.
I know.
Oh, shoot. I forgot my fork.
Oh, I'll get it.
Well, I hope you enjoy it.
-Looks good.
-Yeah?
Mm-hmm.
[sucking on teeth]
You know what?
I think
there's way too many people
at this breakfast table.
[man over TV] ...showerhead
in your bathroom.
Just don't forget the soap.
[suspenseful music plays]
Okay, you need to decide soon.
-Oh, what about Thai?
-I just had some Wednesday.
Mexican?
There's a good one
on the next block.
-How about sushi?
-It doesn't really fill me up.
Fred, it's Liza's day.
It should be whatever she wants.
No, it's fine.
Mexican, Thai,
I don't really care.
No, your mom's right.
Sushi, it is.
There's a sushi place close by
that has five stars.
Technology, huh?
What'd we ever do without it?
-Right, Holly?
-[Holly] Hmm.
And to think that
our daughter is going to be
the next Bill Gates.
Not even remotely, Dad.
I just don't know why you have
to move to Washington, DC.
It's all over
the Internet, anyway.
For the last time,
everybody has to go through
training at Quantico.
Turn right at the next block.
[Holly] Oh, DC is so expensive.
What if you lived with us?
You could save a ton of money.
Help us pay back those
student loans even quicker.
Oh, my God, you guys sound
like a broken record.
Let's just talk
about pleasant things.
Hey, kiddo,
we're really proud of you.
You know that.
-I know, Dad.
-[brake squealing]
-[thudding]
-[glass shattering]
[muffled voices echoing]
[ominous music playing]
[video chatter overlapping]
[somber music playing]
[guitar music playing]
So we first met
at an art gallery.
It was this really fancy
avant-garde art exhibit.
-And she--
-[both chuckling]
I did not pay attention
to the invite,
and I did not dress
accordingly.
Left leg in.
You can adjust your sitz bones
if you need to.
Remember that string?
Bring them all the way up
to the heavens.
Flex that foot.
It's going to hurt,
but it's going to be
better for you.
All right,
now bring your arms up...
So far,
everything's gone smoothly.
So when do you think
you're going to be
done with it?
[Liza] We should be able
to start beta testing by Friday.
So soon. You are the best.
That's why you hired me.
[chuckles]
Listen, um, we're going to have
the company retreat
in Colorado this year.
-You should come.
-I, uh...
I don't think I can. [chuckles]
I talked to the hotel,
and they can accommodate you.
Thanks, Tamsin, it's just--
with therapy and everything,
I don't-- I don't think
I have the time.
Of course.
I didn't even think of that.
I'm sorry.
I'll call you Friday
and let you know where we're at.
Okay. Bye.
[somber music playing]
[Stella] Calendar reminder.
Appointment with Jeff
in five minutes.
My favorite time of the week.
Stella, set a reminder
to call Tamsin
at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
[Stella] Setting a reminder.
-[mouse clicking]
-Okay, let's see
what these losers
are up to today.
All right. Just another
20 reps.
Come on. You can do it.
Push through the burn.
You got this.
And, five...
[groans]
[Miss Body] Come on,
nice and low. Three, two...
"I pleasure myself
to you every day."
-[Miss Body] And one. All right.
-Yuck.
[Miss Body]
Go to your thigh ones.
[laughs]
"You don't need to be
a size zero
to be beautiful."
You know you're a fat cow.
[video playing in background]
-[keyboard clacking]
-"Anorexia...
is treatable.
Get some help."
-[laughs]
-[Miss Body] Thighs...
[Liza grunts]
Now, I want you
to be as concave as you can.
I just wish
I had someone to help.
[sniffles] I'm just so tired
of being alone.
Attention seeking much?
[grunts]
-[mouse clicking]
-[keyboard clacking]
"If it's so bad,
why don't you just
end it all?"
[woman in video] I just wish
I had someone...
[Stella] You have a visitor
at the front door.
Stella, open front door.
-[lock clicks open]
-[Stella] Front door open.
[Jeff sighs]
[uplifting music playing]
Hey. I think I'm a little early.
What's wrong with her?
[grunts] She does that
almost every day.
Maybe we should call someone.
She seems really upset.
No.
That's exactly what she wants.
People who are serious
about killing themselves
don't go around
posting it online.
You are brutal.
[Jeff chuckles]
All right.
Let's get started.
Hmm.
You ready?
I thought
you were going to pick me up.
I can help you,
but I think
you can do it on your own.
[chuckles] Well...
all right, Liza.
You know, one of these days
I'm going to report you
for sexual harassment.
-[Liza laughs]
-All right.
So who are you
going to report me to?
To my girlfriend, for starters.
You have a girlfriend.
Of course you do.
How long have
you guys been together?
How's the pain?
Oh, the patch is helping,
but I think
I need a higher dosage.
I've been having
to supplement it.
You shouldn't be taking
anything else.
You know that.
Tell that to my body
when I can't fall asleep
from the pain.
Try natural remedies, Liza.
You know,
just keep your mind occupied
with other things, meditate.
Okay, Dad.
And have you
actually tried lying in bed
instead of sleeping
in your chair?
No.
I've got too much work to sleep.
Oh, yeah, I can see that.
So much trolling to do.
[laughs] It's a full-time job.
[sighs]
[man in video] ...without adding
any oil, any fat,
[man] any butter, any cream,
any cheese.
Uh, a few mushrooms, sauted...
[groans in pain]
[man in video] ...low heat,
slow cooking, controlled...
Oh! [laughs]
Just keep
your mind occupied, Liza.
[exhales sharply]
[laughs]
[exhales] Okay.
Put it around just where your
mouth goes,
and then throw it in there.
It just adds a little
more of the citrus flavor
from the bourbon itself...
[Liza] Where are the attention
seekers when you need them?
[man in video] Boop! Boop!
Boop! Boop! Boop!
[sighs]
[man] It's pretty easy,
it's literally bourbon...
[wheelchair squeaking]
Natural remedies, my ass, Jeff.

of killing a dog.

Good. They took you down.
[somber music playing]
[sighs]
Hi, yeah.
I would like to report
something I saw online.
[man in video]
...love to be here.
I'm your host and travel agent,
Chris Marks, and welcome...
to Highlands, North Carolina.
So you never
actually saw the dog?
No, but I saw the bag moving,
and I heard the dog screaming.
Well, what about the username
on the website?
"iamhenrylee."
Had you ever seen that before?
Not that I can remember.
You know, for someone in the
Cyber Investigation Division,
you would think you'd be
more technologically advanced.
Yeah, I know
it's a little old-school, but...
these can't be hacked.
You have any idea
where this person is?
He must be here.
This group is meant for people
to advertise
their businesses locally.
They teach tutorials or do vlogs
in the hopes
that people will like them
and give them their business.
Well, what about her?
What's she selling?
At least that's how
it's supposed to work.
There's a lot
of lonely people out there.
So, look.
There may
or may not be a crime here.
But if there is,
it's only a misdemeanor.
What?
Killing an animal
is only a misdemeanor?
Animals are classified
as property.
That's crazy!
I agree,
but I don't make the law.
So even if there is
a dog in that sack,
you have to be patient, okay?
I'm gonna take off.
Please, here's my card.
Call me if you need me.

[man in video] ...waterfall
is 65 feet

[many voices speaking at once]
[man in video] One of the things
that makes Dry Falls so unique
among other waterfalls is that
you actually have the ability
to walk underneath it.

Hi. Um...
I was wondering if anyone
was on last night.
Around one o'clock
in the morning.
I-- I think...
No, I know I saw a man
kill a dog.
I-- it was inside a bag
and he lit it on fire.
[gasps]
You know, I was just trying
to do something nice,
but if you losers
don't want to help, I...
[sighs]
[wheelchair squeaking]
[sighs heavily]
See, Jeff?
I'm going to sleep in my bed
like a good little girl.

[videos playing in background]
So do you think other people
saw the video as well?
Yeah, there were
several dozen other people
streaming at the time.
Well, then how come you think
nobody reported it but you?
The bystander effect.
People are less likely
to offer help
when there are other witnesses.
They think
if it's a real emergency,
someone else
is going to call it in.
Well, how do you know
about the bystander effect?
I was a double major.
Studied computer science
and criminal justice,
which led me
to a few psychology courses.
That's very impressive, truly.
So what we're going
to have to do
is reach out to the website,
see if we can get
a copy of the video,
or at least the IP address
that he used.
[Liza] See?
They deleted the account
almost immediately
after the video went black.
-"iamjohnwayne." Weird.
-Hmm.
Before it was "iamhenrylee."
I have to be honest.
We don't even know
if we have jurisdiction on this.
So, what, you're just going
to hang out, have a margarita
until someone else
does something about this?
Listen to me,
Miss Smart-Ass Crime Major.
There are laws
that we have to follow,
such as a local crime,
or even any crime at all.
Why don't you leave
the detective work to me?
[Stella] Calendar reminder.
Time to take your medication.
[sighs]
We are going to
have to figure out
if this is a hoax or not.
Yeah, well, you have at least
a couple dozen other witnesses
you can ask, then.
Well, I'm going to go talk
to the people from the website.
In the meantime...
stop playing online detective.
Leave the investigation to us.
[Jeff] But I thought everything
you do online can be traced.
Most people, yes.
But it's easy
to become a ghost online.
So you're saying there's
no way of catching this guy?
I wish I could hack
into the website's admin page.
I swear I bet
I could find him in a second.
What?
[tense music playing]
This is the most excited
I have ever seen you.
I guess it's because this
is what I thought I'd be doing.
You know,
before the accident.
What, solve crimes?
-You still can.
-No, I doubt that.
Not with my mental
health record.
Liza, after what
you went through,
it's normal that
you would battle depression.
And two failed suicide attempts.
[Jeff]
I thought it was only one.
The first time was pills.
Second time,
I thought I'd get it right.
Hey, but you're still here.
[Liza sniffles]
Did you order the exerciser yet?
It comes in on Thursday.
[Jeff] Nice.
[heartfelt music playing]
Come on.
So, have you been sleeping
in your bed, at least?
Most nights.
Well, I guess that's progress.
[Stella] You have a visitor
at the front door.
Stella, open the front door.
[lock clicks open]
Oh.
-Did you find him?
-[Detective Boyle] No.
But I was able to interview
some of the other people
from the website.
The ones who saw the video,
and they all think it's a hoax.
Of course they do.
[Detective Boyle]
Well, the website deletes
all the videos
once the account is closed.
But I was able
to pull up an IP address.
And?
It led us to a 72-year-old
retired teacher in Decatur.
It appears that whoever this is
uploaded the videos
on her router.
Well, he must be
somewhere nearby.
There's got to be hundreds
of buildings around here,
even if we had
the time, and manpower.
You can't find it
for a case like this?
A case like what?
We don't even know
if this is real.
That boy was not acting.
Let me ask you something,
and please, don't take offense.
Any of the drugs that she's on,
can they cause hallucinations?
[scoffs]
Opioids can cause some
confusion,
but I've never heard
of them causing hallucinations.
I'm not hallucinating.
Look, I'm not saying that
you made the whole thing up.
Just the severity
of it, perhaps.
With drugs, especially opioids,
it's hard to tell
what is real from what isn't.
Excuse me, Detective.
When I've worked with Liza,
she's never shown any signs
of being mentally unfit.
Um...
Here's what she wrote
to one of the other users
on the web page.
And I-- I quote,
"If it is all that bad,
why don't you just end it all?"
What?
How did--
I asked the website
to send me all your posts.
And I have to tell you,
there's a lot of horrible,
hurtful, and angry comments
on here, young lady.
Is it true?
I mean, I knew you liked to
give people a hard time, but...
Wow.
I'd better be going.
I have another appointment.
Look,
I'm sorry to cause a rift
between you and your friend.
The case is still open.
I'm going to continue
investigating.
But whatever you do, please,
please stay off
the website, okay?

[gentle, somber music]
[Stella] You have a visitor
at the front door.
Stella, turn on
outside intercom.
[Stella] Intercom on.
Who is it?
[Jeff] Hey, it's me, Jeff.
Stella, open front door.
-[lock clicks open]
-[Stella] Front door open.
[Jeff] Hey.
Hey, I'm sorry I didn't call,
but I was close by,
and I just wanted to--
No. Listen.
I'm so embarrassed
that you saw what I wrote.
I should have never judged you.
After what you've been through.
I finally started
seeing a therapist.
That's good to hear.
And I realize that
none of this makes any sense.
But figuring out this thing,
these videos...
it's important to me.
I get that.
[uplifting music playing]
You know you're not supposed
to have alcohol
with the medicines
you're taking.
It's just one glass.
You want one?
Yeah.
[video chatter overlapping]
[Jeff] I love my job.
It's just so frustrating
having to deal with all
the red tape at the hospital.
I've had to stop seeing patients
because they lost
their insurance.
[Stella] Reminder.
Jeff says to sleep in your bed.
[chuckles] See?
I do listen to you.
What does that say about you
that you need a reminder?
I should get going
so you can get some sleep.
Yeah.
I'm sure you have
big Saturday night plans
with your girlfriend.
I don't have a girlfriend.
But you said that...
Are they on 24/7?
[Liza] No.
Saturday nights
are pretty active.
Can we watch one?
-[Liza chuckles] Yeah. Sure.
-[Jeff chuckles]
[overlapping video chatter
continues]
[Miss Body] Stretch whatever way
feels good for your body.
Every day.
All right, remember to breathe.
So she makes these videos
so that people will hire her?
[sighs] Yeah.
She's a fitness instructor.
Great job.
[Jeff] Huh.
Keep your core tight.
[Liza] She's local,
if you're interested.
Hug those thighs.
Can we watch another one?
Sure.
[Miss Body] And now, Happy Baby.
Hold your feet.
Rock gently, side to side.
[woman in video] I have
a coffee date tomorrow.
Miss Lonely. She seems happy.
What's she selling?
-Self-pity.
-[Jeff scoffs] Wow.
I'm sorry, but what does
she have to feel bad about?
She could just put makeup on,
and she can go on a diet.
There's even surgeries
for weight loss.
Hmm.
Unlike your condition, you mean.
May I remind you
that you choose not to do
all the treatments
your doctor ordered.
That's different.
[Jeff] How is it different?
Because it was my fault.
You got hit by a semi-truck.
You weren't even driving.
-How is that your fault?
-Because.
Just tell me, please, Liza.
I really want to understand.
Because I wanted sushi.
What?
My dad wanted
to go to a restaurant
that was around the corner.
[dramatic music playing]
I was the one
that put us on that road.
How could you have known?
It should have been me.
Not them.
But you survived that accident.
And on top of that,
not many people survive
when they cut their wrists
the way you did.
You're alive for a reason.
[woman in video]
...the same problem.
Bills, the kids,
fixing up the house.
But you have
to make time for intimacy.
We have sex
on average three times a week.
Even after
seven years of marriage.
Are they going to show us?
I mean,
they might as well, right?
[both laughing]
They can be a bit racy,
but they-- they do--
they do therapy together.
Hey, if I wanted
to start my own company,
let's just say,
I could advertise on this site?
Yeah.
You want to start
your own company?
I just don't know if I could do
what these people do
to drum up business.
Well, I could help you,
if you'd like.
You would do that for me?
Yeah.
[ominous music playing]
-[gasps]
-[mouse clicking]
[keyboard clacking]
Is this the same video
you saw before?
[Liza] No, it's different.
What are you doing?
I'm installing a software
that lets me record the screen.
[Liza breathing heavily]
[dark, ominous music]
[heartbeat thudding]
[panting]
[hyperventilating]
[chair creaking]
[frantic whimpering]
[screaming]
[hysterical screaming]
He's got a knife.
Done.
-Are you getting this?
-Yes.
They're not gonna be able to say
I'm imagining it this time.
[woman screaming frantically]
[terrified screams]
[frantic screaming]
Can you do something else?
I mean, I could hack the site
to trace
where it's being streamed,
but that's highly illegal.
[screaming continues]
[woman shrieking]
[Liza gasps loudly]
I-- I-- I gotta call the cops.
[repeated thunks]
Yes, uh, someone's being killed
online right now.
It-- it's a live stream.
It's called share.info.
No, not .com, .info.
They're gonna get him.
You recorded it this time.
[Stella] You have a visitor
at the front door.
Stella, open the front door.
-[lock clicks open]
-[Stella] Front door open.
Hello, detective.
What, are you living here now?
I'm just visiting.
I thought you were
just the physical therapist.
[Jeff sighs]
And what brings you back here?
[Detective Boyle] Why, were you
expecting somebody else?
Yeah, well.
Sorry, you're out of luck.
A call came into the station,
they saw the address,
and they referred
the case to me.
-Aren't we lucky?
-Apparently.
Hmm. So what do you
have for me now?
-A video, for one.
-And I saw it, too.
This was no hoax.
All right, let's see it.
Let's queue it up.
[woman screaming frantically]
It does look real.
It is real.
The account was deleted
right after the video,
just like the last one.
So it's Henry Lee,
John Wayne, and Danny.
Does that mean something to you?
Nothing I'm willing
to admit to at this time.
It was shot in the same place
as the other videos.
Well, if it's in a basement,
it can't be
any of the apartments
around the teacher's building.
Yeah, that's definitely
not an apartment.
It has to be in a remote place.
Can you get me
a copy of the video?
I'm way ahead of you.
[Detective Boyle] Thanks.
I think we have enough
to reach out
to someone I know at the FBI.
I'll get back to you.
-[door clicks closed]
-I should get going, too.
Thanks for staying
as long as you did.
Good night.
[sighs]
[door clicks closed]
[Agent Thurgood] They deactivate
the account after every post,
and that erases the video.
You keep saying "they."
You think it's multiple people?
Well, it's based on
the multiple use of names.
Do you think
it's multiple people?
No, I think it's just one man.
Look, let's keep in mind
that the MOs are different.
Yeah, but serial killers
can evolve.
I forgot to tell you, Larry.
Miss Liza here
is a bit of an amateur sleuth.
I studied
criminal justice in college.
-Should we wait for him?
-[Liza] Him, who?
I hope you don't mind.
I invited your boyfriend
to join us.
Uh, Jeff's-- he's-- he's not--
You know, Larry, that was
supposed to be a bit of a joke
between you and I.
Why do I get the feeling
you two know each other?
Well, we were partners once.
[Detective Boyle]
That was a long time ago,
before he sold his soul
to the demon Feds.
It's before
I moved up in the world.
[Detective Boyle scoffs]
[Stella] You have a visitor
at the front door.
[Liza] Stella,
open the front door.
-[lock clicks open]
-[Stella] Front door open.
Hey, I got here
as fast as I could.
[Agent Thurgood] Yeah,
uh, I'm the guy who called.
Thanks for coming.
Jeff, this is
Special Agent Thurgood.
I'm retired.
I was a profiler for the FBI.
Tim, Detective Boyle here,
asked me
to come and consult
on this case.
So the FBI is not involved?
There's still some uncertainty
as to what
we're dealing with here.
I just felt the evidence
was compelling enough
to bring in an expert.
I already told Detective Boyle
everything I know.
What I'm hoping
is by bringing you together,
you might remember something
that can help us.
[Jeff] Like what?
The video you gave us,
it starts kind of late.
So what I'm wondering
is if either one of you remember
if the killer came
from behind the camera.
I was installing
the recording software.
I didn't notice anything.
Why would that make
a difference, though?
Well, if he came
from behind the camera,
that means he pressed record.
If not, that means
somebody else was there.
-[Jeff] I don't remember.
-I don't know.
And there's this.
Now, you see,
he uses his left hand.
Now, do you remember if he used
his left hand the other times?
He used his right hand to pour
the gas on the dog video,
and he used both hands
in the second video.
It's hard to tell.
So we can't rule out
multiple people.
Wait, you're saying
he's using the left hand.
I don't think that's right.
The image is reversed.
He's using the front
camera on his phone,
just like you would
to take a selfie.
It reverses the image.
That's a good point.
So you're sure
it was the same guy?
Yeah, I would bet
my life on that.
-[cellphone chimes]
-Now, let's not use those words.
Please.
Huh.
These are kind of
hard to track, as well.
Look, if that's it,
we've got to get back
to the station.
That's all I got for now.
Uh, thanks for coming up.
[Jeff] Yeah, anything you need.
Daniel Harold Rolling,
also known
as the Gainesville Ripper.
He killed five students
over the course of four days
in Gainesville, Florida.
He beheaded one of his victims,
and that's what I think
the killer was doing
when the video was cut off.
So that's our Danny.
I think so.
What about John Wayne?
Did he ever play
a serial killer in his movies?
[Liza] "John Wayne."
Boom.
John Wayne Gacy.
He tortured and killed
33 young men and boys,
mostly by asphyxiation,
and at times using
a garrote he made himself,
and all of his victims
were found buried in his ranch.
Maybe that's what he's doing
with the bodies.
He's just burying them
in that basement.
[Liza] Maybe.
What about the first one?
[Liza] "Henry Lee Lucas."
Henry Lee.
I've never heard of him.
Yeah, he's not
the most infamous,
but probably the most deadly.
He confessed to 3,000 killings.
-3,000?
-[chuckles] Yeah.
But the police
only convicted him for nine
because they thought
he was exaggerating.
I've actually been wondering,
why keep the account open?
Keeps me distracted.
I mean,
I'm all alone in this big house
in the middle of nowhere.
What about your friends?
They had a hard time
being with my friends
after the accident,
and those who didn't,
I pushed them away.
Hmm.
I can be
kind of a jerk sometimes.
Just sometimes?
[Jeff laughs]
I'm just kidding.
All right,
show me what else you got.
Okay, so I've been watching
this video over and over
to see if I could
find any clues, and...
[woman screaming and train
rattling over speakers]
What is it?
It's a commuter train.
Here, listen.
I cleaned up the audio.
[train rattling over speakers]
The Blue Line.
At the far ends at Suburbs.
Yes.
So I'm sure
the FBI is on to this, but...
do you think
I should show Thurgood anyway?
Y-yes, definitely.
Liza...
I'm impressed.
Well, you're easy.
[laughs]
I better get going.
Oh, off to your plans with
your non-existent girlfriend?
What?
It's okay.
Wait, did I tell you
at one point
that I had a girlfriend?
It's hard to keep
your lies straight.
It's not what you think.
Oh, you weren't blowing me off?
It's my standard answer
for all of my patients.
For the record,
I wasn't hitting on you.
-Oh, no, I know.
-Mm-hmm.
You just love making people
feel uncomfortable.
Hey, it's an acquired skill
I've been working very hard
to perfect this last year.
I'll see you Wednesday.
[Liza] Yeah.
[Jeff] Bye.
[Stella] Calendar reminder.
Time to take your medication.
Stella, make a cup of coffee.
Three sugars.
[Stella] Making
one cup of coffee,
three sugars.
It's been three days since
our date and he hasn't called.
I knew he wouldn't
be interested.
Oh, my God. Cry me a river.
I haven't had some
in over a year.
A-- and some of you have been
really helpful and supportive.
But some of you have been
horrible to me.
Most of you.
Y-you have
no sympathy for anyone else.
-Honestly I...
-Oh, please, tell me that.
Sometimes I just don't think
that I want to be
a part of a world
-that can be so cold.
-[laughs]
Oh, I got you.
[pills rattling]
[woman on video whispering]
I did it.
[sobs softly] I did it.
I bet you're all happy now.
[line ringing]
-[operator over phone] 911.
-Hi, yeah.
There is a woman
committing suicide online.
[operator] Excuse me?
Uh, yeah,
her name is Christina Rodriguez.
She lives
in 4512 Arrowood Boulevard,
apartment 12C.
[operator] And what
did you say she was doing?
She just swallowed
a bunch of pills.
Please send paramedics
right away.
I'm starting to feel sleepy.
[operator] And who are you?
That doesn't matter.
Please send medics right away.
They're going to
have to pump her stomach.
[operator]
What is she doing now?
[man on video sobbing]
[operator]
Ma'am, are you still there?
I need you
to talk to me, please.
The medics are almost there.
Please answer me.
Yeah, uh, actually,
you need to send a police car--
many police cars
to 2513 Connelly Circle.
Uh-- uh,
it'll be someone close to,
uh-- uh, apartment 412.
[operator] Where?
I thought you gave me--
Yes, and that too.
I just--
thi-- this is something else.
This is someone
who has a man tied up.
[operator] I don't understand.
[exclaims] Never mind.
Just send the ambulance
to the other address.
[Boyle over phone]
This better be good.
He's streaming again.
He-- he's somewhere
near 2513 Connelly Circle,
a-- apartment 12-- 412, 412.
-[Boyle] How do you know that?
-I-- I just know, okay?
You need to get there
before he stops streaming.
-[Boyle] What did you say? 2513?
-Connelly Circle, 412.
[Boyle] All right,
let me see what I can do.
Hurry!
[knocking on door over speakers]
[man on video] Miss Rodriguez!
Miss Rodriguez,
please open the door.
Just kick the door down,
you idiots!
-[drill whirring]
-No!
[screaming]
Please! Please!
Please, no! Please!
Please! Please don't do this!
No! No!
[screams] No!
No!
No! No! No!
No! No! No! Please!
[wet squelching over speakers]
[Liza sobbing]
[Liza] I think
he's copying Jeffrey Dahmer.
Dahmer used to drill holes
into his victims' heads
and inject them
with hydrochloric acid.
It would make them more docile.
Yeah, Dahmer
also dismembered his victims
and then dissolved
the bodies in acid.
Maybe that's why
we haven't found any bodies yet.
Well, this time
I got everything.
It definitely seems like
he's coming out
from behind the camera.
You know,
the police couldn't get there
before he logged off.
They set the perimeter, but...
it's just not easy
when they don't know
what you look like.
I think I can help with that.
[Stella] Calendar reminder.
Appointment
with Jeff in five minutes.
[Thurgood] That's him?
[Liza] It's just like the grill
in the dog video.
Liza, that's
a very common grill.
Yes, but I found parts
of his face
reflected onto the knife
he was using.
I put them through a facial
recognition software, and...
I'll admit,
I-- I'm impressed at the...
I gotta say,
you're way nicer than Boyle.
It's hard to believe
you two were partners once.
Listen, you gotta
give Boyle a break.
He's one of the good guys.
Look, he got injured
chasing a perp, right?
And the department tried to
force him into retirement,
but he refused.
He suggested they start
the Cybercrime Division instead.
Well, that's funny, since he's
so technologically challenged.
Yeah, but he's got
a team for that.
He handles the investigations.
I guess you're right.
He'll never retire.
Just like you.
Hey, you say you're retired.
You can be on a beach anywhere,
but here you are.
Yeah, I guess
it's in my blood, too.
I just...
I can't really retire
until I catch every last psycho
like this one.
Maybe after I catch this one,
I'll find that beach.
[Stella] You have
a visitor at the front door.
Stella, open the front door.
[Stella] Front door open.
Excellent timing.
[Jeff] You're here again.
I hope it's good news.
[Thurgood] Liza was just
explaining how she thinks
this guy in the picture
is our potential killer.
So the profile
just says J. Hignite, but...
he doesn't have any friends.
He doesn't post much
except for weird pictures of art
or dark song lyrics.
Any violent posts?
I mean, nothing that says,
"I'm gonna drill a hole
into a man's head," but--
He did what?
Last night,
there was another one.
[Thurgood] He is really weird.
Well, this is the address
where the picture was taken.
You took this off
the digital imprint
of the picture?
It was taken six months ago.
[chuckles] I gotta say it again,
I'm really impressed.
Have you ever thought about
doing this professionally?
I was supposed
to start work with the FBI...
but then this happened.
You know,
they always need consultants.
And the requirements
are much more lenient.
The picture's in the drive.
Thanks, I'll follow up on this.
Um, one thing.
How did you know where he
and the suicide girl were?
I might have hacked
into the website for the info.
You know you saved
that girl's life, right?
Is she gonna be okay?
Yeah, yeah, they've got her in
a psychiatric hospital for now.
Good. I'm glad
she's getting help.
-Bye.
-Thanks.
I feel like I missed a lot.
You have no idea.
You want to catch me up?
Yeah, it might take a while.
Should I order takeout?
Deal.
How is it that you know
so much about serial killers?
Well, I took a course
in college,
and I found the subject
truly fascinating.
Well, you wanted
to make a difference,
and you did.
I mean, you've helped the police
solve a criminal case.
I just wish
I could do more, you know?
I saw the look
on Thurgood's face.
He was really impressed
with you.
Impressed enough
to ignore my history?
This happens all the time
when it's windy.
Does it?
I swear, these power lines
were made of dental floss.
I see that still works.
[chuckles]
Yeah, backup batteries.
It's sort of a requirement
for the job.
All right.
Okay, uh, I think
you might need a new lighter.
"The early bird gets the worm,
but the second mouse
gets the cheese."
What does yours say?
"A pleasant surprise
is in store for you."
[Liza chuckles]
I think I know what that means.
What?
I'm so sorry.
That's highly
unprofessional of me.
I've been doing this
for eight years,
and I've never
developed feelings
for any of my patients before.
It's not your fault.
It's the Florence
Nightingale effect.
The what?
It's when the caregiver develops
feelings for the patient.
That's not it. At all.
Then what is it?
I don't know.
You've just changed so much.
You're so different now.
I don't look like that.
And that's a good thing
because she does nothing
for me at all.
Listen, Jeff,
I just started going to therapy,
and I think
it's important for me
to try to work on getting better
and-- and work on myself.
Yeah.
You're absolutely right.
I'm sorry.
I'd better get going.
But you'll still
work with me, right?
I'm going to my own soon.
So I think they'll be
assigning you a new therapist.
So I won't see you again?
I don't know.
At least not until next week.

Police are asking
for the public's help
with finding this person.
His name is Jason Hignite.
Police say that
he is a person of interest
in the disappearance
of three unnamed people.
They identified him.
Anyone with information
on his whereabouts
should contact the police
tip line on the screen.
Mr. Hignite was identified
as a person of interest
after certain videos
were posted
on a community website.
One of the users on that site
reported the videos
to the police
that began with the burning
of what police think was a dog.
[phone ringing]
Thurgood?
Liza, sorry I haven't been
in touch recently.
No, it's okay. I saw the news.
Boyle is going to be
stopping by later on
with some missing persons
for you to go through.
See if you recognize
the man in the first video.
Okay. Anything I can do to help.
Hey, I'm sorry
the police mentioned you
in association
with the investigation.
-Should I be worried?
-[Thurgood] No, no.
This hasn't been released
to the general public yet,
but we have him
on surveillance camera
at the airport.
-He's gone.
-Gone?
-Where?
-[Thurgood] Caracas.
If he tries to
come back in the country,
we'll get him.
[sighs]
Poor Venezuelans, though.
We turned it over to Interpol.
He's their problem now.
[Liza] So what's going to happen
with the investigation here?
Well, the police
are looking for bodies,
but he has no cards registered
in his name.
He has no employment record.
He's been living off the grid.
That basement could be anywhere.
Yeah, anywhere that one,
has a basement,
two, has a place
to dispose of bodies,
and three, is close enough
to the Blue Line.
Yeah, I'm-- I'm sure
the police will find it.
But, uh, listen,
I got another consultation gig
up in Minnesota,
but before I go,
I wanted to tell you how I'm...
how impressed I am
with your work.
What happened to the beach?
[Thurgood] Who am I kidding?
Boyle and I
will die doing this job.
Yeah. I had a feeling.
You should be
getting a call soon.
From whom?
You'll see. We'll be in touch.
[computer ringing]
Safe travels.
Liza.
I swear,
I'll have it done by tomorrow.
That's not why
I'm calling, actually.
I just got a call from someone
with the Department of Justice
looking for
a recommendation for you.
The Department of Justice?
Are we losing you?
I know the feds
can't pay what we can,
so is it something else?
Are you unhappy with us?
I honestly don't know
why they would be
calling, unless...
Unless?
Unless they're reconsidering me.
Whatever they offer you,
I'll double it.
All right? I cannot lose you.
-You're too good.
-Thanks, Tamsin.
I don't know
exactly what's going on,
but as soon as I do,
I'll let you know.
Okay.
[chuckles]
[tense music plays]
[Stella] Making two cups
of coffee, extra strong.
[keys clacking]
[Stella]
The time is ten o'clock.
Reminder, Jeff says
to sleep in your bed.
[Liza chuckles and exclaims]
[laughs]
[line ringing]
[Jeff over phone]
Hi, thank you for calling.
Please leave
your name and number
and I'll get back to you
as soon as possible.
[line beeps]
Hey, Jeff.
I-- I'm sorry
I'm calling you so late.
I just... [chuckles]
I just had some news
that I wanted to tell you,
and I just know
you're the only one
that would understand
how big this is.
I found the basement!
Before the police,
can you believe it?
[computer ringing]
Um...
Anyway, that's
what I wanted to say.
We'll talk soon, okay?
Hi.
Thanks for taking my call.
You're okay.
When I couldn't find
your profile,
I thought something
might have happened.
They told me you're the one
who called the police.
I guess you saved my life.
No, they saved your life,
not me.
I just don't get it.
You've been saying horrible
things to me for months.
And then help me?
I am so sorry. I'm so sorry.
I just...
I was in a bad place.
What do you have to be
in a bad place about?
You're pretty.
You're thin.
What happened to you?
Car accident last year.
And...
both my parents died.
I'm sorry.
It's still no excuse
for how I treated you.
Uh, I gotta go,
but can I call you another day?
Please do.
[computer beeps]
What just happened?
I lost power.
Happens all the time
when it rains.
Oh, okay.
Well, I'll let you go.
[lighter clicking]
[Stella] Front door open.
[tense instrumental]
Stella, lock the front door.
-[lock clicks]
-[Stella] Door locked.
You're fine.
He's in Venezuela.
Nice time to act up on me.
[tense music plays]
[music crescendos]
Liza!
Liza, I just got your message.
[line ringing]
[Boyle over phone]
To what do I owe this honor?
Hey, I just got to Liza's house,
but she's not here,
and the door was wide open.
[Boyle]
Well, maybe she just went out.
And left the door open?
[Boyle] All right.
I can send a patrol car over,
but I don't think
there's anything
to worry about.
Our guy's been clocked
very far from here.
Yes, please.
Send someone anyway.
She had called me
and left me a message
that she knows
where the basement is
and some other details
about the case.
[Boyle] All right, done.
If it makes you feel better.
[line beeps]
[suspenseful music plays]
Christ, Liza, where are you?
[chuckles] You did it.
You found it.
[gasps]
[line ringing]
[Boyle over phone] We're
on our way to you right now.
No, no, no.
You-- you need to go to
2635 North Crossing Street now.
[Boyle] What?
He has Liza tied up
in a basement.
-You need to hurry up.
-[Boyle] Fuck.
187 in progress.
[screaming]
[whimpering]
No, no! No!
[Jason] You're awake.
Surprise.
[whimpers]
I saw the scar.
I'll just be doing you a favor.
I am Jason.
This work of art is all mine.
[line ringing]
Where are you?
[Boyle over phone]
Hang tight, almost there.
[whimpering]
-[angle grinder whirring]
-[screams] No, no!
Oh, my God. No.
[Liza sobbing]
We're gonna have ourselves
a barbecue.
No. Please-- please no!
No!
[screams] No! No!
I'm gonna start at your legs.
You won't be able to feel it,
but you'll be able to watch me
take you apart piece by piece.
-Then your nipples.
-No, please!
[screams]
-[Liza exclaiming]
-[Jason grunting]
Yes.
[Boyle] What happened?
She just got loose.
[breathing heavily]
[laughs] Yes.
Come on.
[screams]
[sobbing]
Come on, Liza, get out of there.
Get out of there.
Liza, look--
Liza, look behind you.
Look right behind you.
[Liza screaming]
[Liza sobbing]
Come on, Liza.
You can do this.
Look right behind you, come on.
[Liza coughing and screaming]
[screams] Help me!
Fuck! No!
No!
-[Jason grunting]
-[Liza] No!
[Jason laughing]
[Liza screaming and sobbing]
[Jason laughing]
Liza.
[gunshots banging]
[body thudding on stairs]
Hey, hey.
I'm going to put a little
pressure on right here.
Hey, Jeff,
if you can hear me,
she's alive.
Breathing is slow,
but she's alive.
[exhales heavily]
Is she conscious?
[Boyle]
Try not to move, sweetheart.
Everything's going to be okay.
-Yeah.
-Okay.
All right.
Put her on the phone.
Let-- let me talk to her.
Somebody wants to talk to you.
Hang on.
Hey, hey. Liza,
don't say anything.
It's Jeff.
Just please,
please keep fighting.
I need to kiss you again.
-[sirens wailing]
-Please.
Jeff, I can hear
the cars pulling up right now.
I'll call you from the hospital.
Stay with me, honey.
Liza, you did good.
You really nailed
this son of a bitch, honey.
[Liza breathing heavily]
Hey, [indistinct].
[overlapping speaking over TV]
Here we are, madame.
-Thank you.
-You're very much welcome.
So...
I was thinking...
let's take a drive up
the coast this weekend.
No, we can't.
It's Boyle's retirement party.
We're invited and we have to go.
Plus, Thurgood is going.
Okay.
But then we have to go
the Saturday after.
Before you leave for
that conference in Quantico.
You don't have plans that day?
It's my company now.
I can create my own schedule.
Well, in that case, I'm in.
I know.
Oh, shoot. I forgot my fork.
Oh, I'll get it.
Well, I hope you enjoy it.
-Looks good.
-Yeah?
Mm-hmm.
[sucking on teeth]
You know what?
I think
there's way too many people
at this breakfast table.
[man over TV] ...showerhead
in your bathroom.
Just don't forget the soap.
