Murder by Numbers (2002) - full transcript

First man: SHOULD WE SAY
THE WORDS ONE LAST TIME?

ONE CANNOT LIVE FULLY

WITHOUT EMBRACING
SUICIDE AND CRIME.

SAY IT.

Second man: A PACT
MADE WITH RELENTLESS FIRE

THAT REQUIRES THAT WHILE
SOME LIVE, OTHERS DIE.

[GUNSHOT]



EACH OF US HAS WITHIN US
A WEAK ASPECT,

EAGER TO GIVE UP FREEDOM

FOR THE COMFORT
OF BEING DOMINATED,

BUT WE ALSO
HAVE A WILL TO POWER

THAT DESIRES FREEDOM,

THAT INSISTS ON DECIDING
FOR OURSELVES,

EACH OF US, INDIVIDUALLY,

WHAT IS GOOD
AND WHAT IS EVIL.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?

DOESN'T ANYONE
WANNA CHALLENGE

JUSTIN'S THESIS?

ARE YOU ALL
WILLING TO SUBMIT

TO THIS DARWINIAN
STRUGGLE

OF COMPETING EVILS?



I GOT
A QUESTION.

Teacher:
AH, MR. HAYWOOD,

YOU'RE AWAKE.

[CLASS CHUCKLES]

LET'S HEAR IT.

UH, YEAH. WHAT'S
A DORK LIKE YOU

KNOW ABOUT
POWER?

WHAT WOULD
AN IGNORAMUS LIKE YOU

KNOW ABOUT PHILOSOPHY?

Teacher: KEEP IT CIVIL,
PLEASE.

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

ARE YOU TALKING
ABOUT CRIME?

Teacher: GOOD QUESTION.

YOU SHOULD WAKE UP
MORE OFTEN, HAYWOOD.

WHAT ABOUT IT, JUSTIN?

Justin: ALL REAL FREEDOM
RISKS CRIME.

INDEED, FREEDOM IS CRIME

BECAUSE IT THINKS FIRST
OF ITSELF

AND NOT OF THE GROUP.

THANK YOU, JUSTIN.

VERY DARING.

THANK YOU.

[ALL LAUGH]

Teacher: FOR THOSE OF YOU
WHO ARE INTERESTED

IN THE SOURCE OF
MR. PENDLETON'S REPORT,

MIGHT WANNA TAKE A LOOK
AT THE WORKS

OF FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE.

YOU REALLY NEED
TO GET LAID, BONAPARTE.

Teacher: BY LOOKING
AT BOOK ONE OF

THUS SPAKE ZARATHUSTRA.

[GASPS]

HEY, JUSTIN.

REMEMBER ME?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

[COCKS GUN]

I WANNA BLOW
YOUR BRAINS OUT...

AND I'M GONNA MAKE IT
LOOK LIKE A SUICIDE.

EVERYONE WILL BELIEVE IT,

'CAUSE IF THEY WERE YOU,
THEY'D KILL THEMSELVES, TOO.

MMM, YOU WON'T
GET AWAY WITH IT.

YOUR SHOE PRINTS,
FIRST OF ALL,

ARE A VERY
UNIQUE PATTERN.

THEY'D BE TRACED BACK TO YOU

IN A MATTER OF DAYS.

THE FIBERS ON YOUR SHIRT
ARE ALL OVER ME NOW.

YOUR HAIR, TOO.

IT'S CALLED TRANSFERENCE.

AND MORE IMPORTANTLY,
YOUR FINGERPRINTS ON MY NECK...

WHERE YOU TOUCHED ME.

YOU CAN'T GET FINGERPRINTS
OFF OF SKIN.

YEAH, YOU CAN.
WITH A MAGNA BRUSH

OR A FINGERPRINT CHEM

OR AN IODINE GUN
AND SILVER TRANSFER SHEETS.

BELIEVE ME, RICHARD,
YOU DON'T HAVE THE DISCIPLINE

TO COMMIT A MURDER
AND GET AWAY WITH IT.

IS THAT RIGHT?

WELL, LET'S SEE.

BANG!

YOU'RE DEAD.

[CHUCKLES]

WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?

DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG
I'VE BEEN WAITING?

NO. I HAVE
SOMETHING BETTER.

Richard: WHAT IS IT?

ABSINTHE: WORMWOOD
INFUSED ALCOHOL.

THE MOLECULAR STRUCTURE
IS ALMOST IDENTICAL

TO TETRAHEDRAL CHLORINE.

TO TETRA--TETRA WHAT?

IT'S THE, UH, ACTIVE
INGREDIENT IN MARIJUANA.

MMM.

WHERE'D YOU GET IT?

POETS USED TO DRINK IT.

THEY USED IT
FOR INSPIRATION.

IT'S BEEN ILLEGAL SINCE
THE TURN OF THE CENTURY.

EVEN BETTER.

TO THE SYSTEMATIC
DERANGEMENT OF OUR SENSES.

OH, FORGET THE SENSES.

LET'S DERANGE THE WORLD.

[CLINK]
WE WILL.

WHEN?

SOON.

WHAT ABOUT TONIGHT?

WHAT ABOUT RIGHT NOW?

ACTUALLY, I HAVE, UM,
A BIOLOGY EXPERIMENT...

OH, FUCK YOUR BIOLOGY...

YOU ALWAYS HAVE EXCUSES.
YOU KNOW THAT?

LET'S JUST FORGET IT.

FORGET WHAT?

WE'VE BEEN PLANNING
THIS FOR MONTHS.

I'M SICK OF PLANNING.

THAT'S ALL IT IS WITH YOU.

IT'S TALK AND PLANS
AND DREAMS.

YOU'RE A JERK-OFF.

SO JERK OFF.

RICHARD, WAIT.

JUST BE PATIENT.

Dispatcher on radio:
WHAT'S YOUR STATUS?

HERE COMES THE HYENA.

HEY, WHY'D YOU TELL 'EM

NOT TO LET ME INSIDE
THE PERIMETER?

DON'T GET PISSY ON ME.

I TOLD THEM
NOT TO LET ANYBODY IN.

IT'S YOUR FIRST HOMICIDE.

I DIDN'T WANT YOU
STEPPIN' ON YOUR TONGUE.

HERE, TAKE THIS.

WHAT IS IT?

A VERY IMPORTANT
CRIME SCENE TOOL.

HEY, BOYS, SNACK TIME.

GET ONE OF THE UNIFORMS
TO SET UP A STAGING AREA.

THIS PLACE IS GONNA
BE CRAWLING WITH PEOPLE

THAT HAVE ABSOLUTELY
NO BUSINESS BEING HERE,

INCLUDING
OUR REVERED CHIEF.

ROD?
YEAH, ROD.

ROD IS NOT A COP.

HEY, DARNELL,

GET THE HELL OUT OF
MY CRIME SCENE. COME ON.

SORRY, CASSIE.

ALL RIGHT.

THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY
INTO A CRIME SCENE.

I WANT YOU TO PUT YOUR
FOOT WHERE MINE GOES

AND NOWHERE ELSE, OK?

OK.

READY?

First man: HEY,
ONE MORE. ONE MORE.

Second man: COMING.

YOU NEVER DID THIS
IN VICE, DID YOU?

UH, NO.

RIGHT THERE.

LOOKS LIKE
SOME KIND OF BOOT.

[FLIES BUZZING]

WHAT'S THIS
SMELL LIKE TO YOU?

IT SMELLS LIKE VOMIT.

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.

BAG SOME UP FOR THE LAB.

UNH.

OH.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

NOTHING.

NOTICE THE PETECHIAL
HEMORRHAGING?

SHE WAS STRANGLED.

AH, FINGER SHAPED MARKS
AROUND THE NECK.

OH, LOOK AT THIS.

A CLEAN CUT.

A TROPHY?

THAT WOULD BE MY GUESS.

DEFENSIVE WOUNDS.
SHE PUT UP A FIGHT.

GOOD FOR YOU.

WE'RE DEALING WITH

A SECONDARY
CRIME SCENE HERE. WHY?

WELL, THIS HEAD WOUND
WOULD PRODUCE

EXTENSIVE AMOUNTS
OF THICK BLOOD,

BUT THERE'S
VERY LITTLE HERE.

WHAT DO YOU
MAKE OF THESE?

PIQUERISM?

PRE OR POSTMORTEM?

POST. NO BLOOD.

AH. NOT BAD, VICE.

PROBABLY
DID REALLY WELL

ON YOUR
DETECTIVE'S EXAM.

[SIGHS]
ALL RIGHT.

THE WIND
IS PICKING UP.

WE'RE GONNA START
LOSING EVIDENCE.

WE GOTTA HOLD ON TO
EVERYTHING WE CAN GET.

ANY IDEA WHO SHE IS?

NO. NO CAR.
NOBODY FOUND ANY ID.

JANE DOE.

Lisa: HEY, BONAPARTE.

BONAPARTE,
WHAT'S THE MATTER?

Teacher: MS. MILLS.

Teacher: ALL RIGHT. TIME'S UP.
PUT YOUR PENS DOWN

AND EXCHANGE YOUR TESTS
WITH A NEIGHBOR.

I DID HORRIBLE.

NUMBER 20 IS
C: BERT NORTON.

I SUPPOSE
YOU FIND IT FUNNY.

WHAT?

ME FLUNKING A POP QUIZ.

YOU DIDN'T FLUNK.

YOU GOT 19 OUT OF 20.

Teacher: PLEASE PASS
THE TESTS FORWARD.

HEY.

HEY, WAIT UP.
I WANNA TALK TO YOU.

WHY DID YOU DO THAT?

I HAVE ULTERIOR MOTIVES.

LIKE WHAT?

I WANT YOU
TO HELP ME PREP

FOR MY PHYSICS
MIDTERM.

HEY, RED DUDE.
HEY.

WHY ME?

BECAUSE
YOU'RE A GENIUS, OK?

OH.

I LIVE AT 1108 CHANDLER.

CAN YOU REMEMBER THAT?
AROUND 5:00?

YOU, UH...

UM...

HI, LISA.

Sam: SO THIS FRIEND
OF MINE--

Cassie: THIS IS IT.
TURN RIGHT.

IT'S RIGHT HERE.

YOU LIVE IN A HOUSEBOAT.
THAT'S NEAT.

NEAT, INDEED.
I LIKE IT OUT HERE.

NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE.

[HORN BLARES]

THANKS FOR THE RIDE.
SEE YOU TOMORROW.

WHAT, ARE YOU GONNA
SEE ME TO THE DOOR?

OF COURSE.
[CHUCKLES]

SO YOU MADE DETECTIVE
IN 4 YEARS?

MM-HMM.

YOU MUST BE SMARTER
THAN YOU LOOK.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

IT'S ONLY GONNA GET WORSE,
I WARN YOU.

YOU BEEN TALKING
TO THE BOYS?

I'VE HEARD A FEW THINGS.

YEAH? THEY TELL YOU WHY
I WAS CALLED "THE HYENA?"

NO, WHY?

FEMALE HYENAS HAVE
KIND OF A MOCK PENIS.

DRAW YOUR OWN
CONCLUSIONS.

DOES THAT BOTHER YOU?

NO. I JUST WEAR
LOOSE-FITTING SLACKS.

IT'S REALLY NOT A PROBLEM.

SEE YA LATER.

[SHERYL CROW'S
ANYTHING BUT DOWN PLAYS]

* I LIGHT YOUR CIGARETTE *

* I BRING YOU APPLES
FROM THE BARN *

* HOW QUICKLY YOU FORGET *

* I RUN THE BATH
AND POUR THE WINE *

* I BRING YOU... *

[HEART BEATING LOUDLY]

[WOMAN GASPING]

NO PRINTS
OFF THE GIRL'S SKIN.

THE KILLER MUST HAVE
BEEN WEARING GLOVES.

WELL, THEN IT'S NOT
A HUSBAND OR BOYFRIEND.

WHY NOT?

WELL, WHEN YOU
KILL YOUR WIFE,

YOU DON'T STOP
TO PUT ON GLOVES.

UNLESS YOU'VE PUT A LOT
OF THOUGHT INTO IT.

MISSING RING FINGER.
WHAT'S THAT, A RITUAL?

SERIAL KILLER?

MAYBE A COMMENT
ON MATRIMONY.

THAT'S PROBABLY
A NEGATIVE COMMENT.

YOU THINK? HUH.

MAYBE WE SHOULD INVESTIGATE

EVERY BAD MARRIAGE
IN THE COUNTY.

WHY DON'T YOU GET ON IT?

LET'S START WITH YOU.

YOU EVER BEEN MARRIED?

NOPE.

WHAT'S THIS?

THAT'S, UH, THAT'S
AN OLD MURDER CASE

I WAS INVOLVED IN.

THE GUY'S UP FOR PAROLE,

AND THEY WANT ME
TO TESTIFY AT THE BOARD.

SO WHAT DO WE HAVE
ON OUR JANE DOE?

I'VE BEEN CHECKING
MISSING PERSONS NATIONWIDE.

NOTHIN' YET.

ALL RIGHT.
WELL, RUN HER PRINTS

AND GET AN ARTIST
TO START HER SKETCH.

OK.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

GOT IT, MOM.

HEY, BONAPARTE.

I DIDN'T THINK YOU
WOULD SHOW. COME IN.

WHO DID THESE? THEY'RE
ACTUALLY QUITE GOOD.

THANK YOU.

YOU DID THEM?

DON'T LOOK SO SURPRISED.

I MODELED FOR THEM, TOO.

BONAPARTE,
YOU'RE BLUSHING.

WHY DO YOU CALL ME THAT?

YOU EVER TAKE ONE OF THOSE
CAREER APTITUDE TESTS?

NO.

WELL, IF YOU EVER DID,

I GUARANTEE
THEY'D RECOMMEND

THAT YOU PURSUE A CAREER
AS A DICTATOR.

WHY?

WHO WOULD
LISTEN TO ME?

WHERE'S YOUR
PHYSICS BOOK?

[BIRD SQUAWKS]

Richard: YOU'RE
OVERFEEDING THAT THING.

IT'S GONNA GET
AS FAT AS YOU ARE.

I SURE HOPE
THIS IS BETTER

THAN THAT OTHER STUFF
YOU SOLD ME.

IT'S THE KGB, RICHARD.

YEAH, WELL, FOR
400 BUCKS AN OUNCE,

IT HAD BETTER PUT ME
ON THE MOON, RAY.

YOU'LL BE TOTALLY SATISFIED.
I GUARANTEE IT.

MONEY BACK?

COME ON.
CAN'T WE CUT A DEAL?

IF YOU DON'T WANT IT,
DON'T TAKE IT, RICHIE.

WELL, YOU KNOW,
I WANT IT.

RICHIE RICH.

I HATE IT WHEN
YOU CALL ME THAT.

I'M CUTTIN' OFF
ON YOU ALREADY, MAN.

BRING ME A COUPLE

OF THOSE PIGTAILED
CHEERLEADERS OVER HERE,

AND THEN I'LL GIVE IT
TO YOU FOR FREE.

WELL, HOW CAN I
TRUST THAT?

AH, AH. I LOVE THIS PART.
[LAUGHS]

LOOK AT THAT.

[SIGHS]
YEAH.

SO CAN I JUST
GET THE PRODUCT

AND GET OUTTA HERE?

CHECK THIS OUT.
CHECK THIS OUT.

COME ON.

YOU'RE GETTIN' THE PRODUCT.
HANG ON.

[WHIP CRACKS,
WOMAN SCREAMS]

LISTEN TO HER.
SHE LOVES IT.

* OPEN THE DOOR *

* AND SHOW ME
YOUR FACE TONIGHT *

* I KNOW IT'S TRUE *

* NO ONE HEALS ME LIKE YOU *

* AND YOU HOLD THE KEY *

* NEVER AGAIN *

* WOULD I
TURN AWAY FROM YOU *

* I'M SO HEAVY TONIGHT *

* BUT YOUR LOVE
IS ALL RIGHT *

* AND I DO BELIEVE *

* THAT NOT EVERYTHING
IS GONNA BE *

* THEY WAY YOU THINK
IT OUGHTA BE *

* SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME
I TRY TO MAKE IT RIGHT *

* IT ALL COMES DOWN ON ME *

* PLEASE SAY... *

[MAN YELLING]

[WOMAN GASPING]

[GLASS BREAKS]

* I SHALL BELIEVE *

MMM.

[FOG HORN BLOWS]

Cassie: WE'VE GOT
OUR JANE DOE.

HER NAME
WAS OLIVIA LAKE.

SHE DIDN'T
SHOW UP FOR WORK

FRIDAY, SATURDAY,
OR TODAY.

HER SUPERVISOR FOUND
THE PLACE LIKE THIS.

SO...

WHAT DO WE KNOW
ABOUT THE SUPERVISOR?

MMM. MARRIED,
2 KIDS, SOLID ALIBI.

MAYBE--MAYBE
SHE CAUGHT SOMEBODY

IN THE MIDDLE OF A 459
AND HE PANICKED?

YEAH, AND WHAT,
TOOK THE BODY WITH HIM?

Cassie: WHERE DID THESE
MUD PRINTS COME FROM?

THERE'S--THERE'S
A PLANTING BED OUT HERE.

LOOKS DRY AS A BONE.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD
WATER THE LAWN.

MMM.

Sam: WE GET A TIME OF DEATH
FROM THE CORONER YET?

BASED ON STOMACH CONTENT,
LIVER TEMP AND RIGOR,

SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 9:00
AND 10:00 THURSDAY NIGHT.

HOW ABOUT 9:27?

HMM?

[BELL DINGS, KNOCK ON DOOR] 377 00:20:28,299
--> 00:20:29,1000 CAN WE COME IN? 378
00:20:29,1000 --> 00:20:32,068 LET THE GAMES BEGIN.

HMM.

SAM KENNEDY, AL SWANSON,

NEW ASSISTANT D.A...

AND FORMER MEMBER
OF OUR DEPARTMENT.

PLEASED
TO MEET YOU, SAM.

MS. MAYWEATHER,
IT'S ALWAYS A PLEASURE.

SO I HEARD YOU FINALLY
PASSED THE BAR, AL.

WHAT DID THEY DO,

CHANGE IT
TO TRUE OR FALSE?

I SEE THE SCORPION
HASN'T LOST HER STING.

Cassie: WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?

I JUST WANNA
STAY INFORMED.

REALLY?

SAM, PLEASE
KEEP HIM INFORMED.

THANK YOU.

SO WHAT HAVE
WE GOT HERE?

* PLEASE SAY HONESTLY *

Man: SORRY.

* YOU WON'T GIVE UP ON ME *

* I SHALL BELIEVE *

* I SHALL BELIEVE *

* I SHALL BELIEVE *

DETECTIVE?
YEAH.

CAN I HAVE YOU
SIGN OFF

ON THE COPY
OF EVIDENCE?

Cassie: OK.

[CAR HORN HONKS]

[HONK, HONK]

HEY, SAM, IT'S ME.

UM, I'M GONNA BE
A LITTLE LATE.

WHY DON'T YOU
GET STARTED, OK?

[HORN HONKS]

[GASPS]

AH. OH.

[MAN YELLING]

[WOMAN GASPING]

LOOKS LIKE
A BODY DUMP.

JESUS. SHE'S ALIVE.

* LED ME TO THIS TOWN *

HA HA.
YO, BUD.

NICE DETECTIVE WORK.

HOW DID YOU FIND ME?

Sam: RULE NUMBER ONE:
TALK TO THE NEIGHBORS.

MMM.

LOOK, YOU SAID
"A LITTLE LATE."

IT'S BEEN MORE
THAN 3 HOURS.

IS THIS ABOUT
THE D.A.?

WHAT'S HIS NAME,
SWANSON?

THAT ASSHOLE? NO.
[LAUGHS]

HE SEEMED OK.

YEAH, WELL,
TRY DATING HIM.

HE GOT A LITTLE ROUGH
WITH ME ONCE,

SO I BROKE HIS NOSE
WITH THE CAT.

THE CAT.

WELL, THE CERAMIC CAT.

UH, NO, THANKS.

GOOD. NOW YOU CAN
WALK ME HOME.

SURE.

THANK YOU.

SIT DOWN.

I SHOULD GET GOIN'.

MMM, WHAT'S THE RUSH?

UH...

UM...

CAN I, UH, ASK YOU
A PERSONAL QUESTION?

[CLEARS THROAT]
I CAN HARDLY WAIT.

HOW DID YOU GET
INTO THIS WORK?

I MEAN, HOW--
WHY HOMICIDE?

BECAUSE SOMEBODY
I KNEW WAS MURDERED,

AND I GOT INTERESTED
IN THE PROCESS.

REALLY?
NO.

[LAUGHS]

I'M JUST BULLSHITTIN' YOU.

IT'S JUST THE KIND OF CRAP
PEOPLE LIKE TO HEAR.

WAIT.

WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'?

IT'S CALLED SEX.

IT'S FUN,
AND YOU SHOULD TRY IT.

LOOK. WAIT.

WE'RE PARTNERS.
WE GOTTA WORK TOGETHER.

THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA.

DON'T WORRY.
I WON'T GET POSSESSIVE.

WAIT. OH, WAIT.
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

OH, 'CAUSE I WANT TO.

WHAT ABOUT WHAT I WANT?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

RIGHT NOW?

YEAH.

THIS.

MMM. MMM.

WAIT. LET'S NOT HURRY.

NO, NO, NO, NO.
JUST LEAVE THAT--

LEAVE THAT ALONE.
JUST THAT. PLEASE.

SURE.

MMM.

MMM. WHAT'S THE MATTER?

YOU GOTTA GET UP.
YOU GOTTA GO.

WHY?

BECAUSE I GOTTA
GET SOME SLEEP.

WE GOT A LOT OF WORK
TO DO TOMORROW.

WELL, WHY CAN'T
WE SLEEP TOGETHER?

MMM, 'CAUSE
THE BED'S TOO SMALL.

MMM, NO, IT'S NOT.

MMM, COME ON, COME ON.
YOU GOTTA GO.

HEY.

[THUD]
OH!

AH, JESUS.

MMM.

MMM. I'LL SEE YOU
TOMORROW. GOOD NIGHT.

Justin: THE EVIDENCE IS SO TINY,
YOU WOULDN'T KNOW IT

IF YOU HELD IT
IN YOUR HAND.

A FEW COMMON YELLOW
CARPET FIBERS,

SOME RED CARPET FIBERS
AND SOME HAIR.

THAT'S IT.

THE FIBERS WILL BE SUBJECTED
TO INFRARED SPECTROPHOTOMETRY

TO DETERMINE THEIR GENERIC
AND SUB-GENERIC CLASSES,

THEN COMPARED AGAINST
THE DATABASE

TO DETERMINE
THE MANUFACTURER,

BUT THAT WON'T BE MUCH HELP.

YELLOW CARPET FIBERS,
CONSISTENT WITH

A MASS-PRODUCED LINE
OF THE TRIACETATE VARIETY.

MANUFACTURED OUT OF DENVER,
DISTRIBUTED ALL OVER

THE WESTERN UNITED STATES

UNDER SEVERAL DIFFERENT
BRAND NAMES.

NO HELP.

SAME WITH
THE RED FIBERS.

SEVERAL LUSTROUS
TRILOBAL NYLON FIBERS

ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER
RED DELUSTERED FIBERS

WILL BE EXAMINED
AND MATCHED WITH THE BRANDS.

SOLD BY HANOVER SAMPSON

FOR SEVERAL WHOLESALE
DISCOUNT STORES.

OH.

THAT NARROWS IT DOWN.

THEY SOLD 50,000 OF THEM
IN THAT COLOR LAST YEAR.

MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION
OF THE CUTICLE, THE CORTEX,

AND THE MEDULLA
OF THE HAIR

WILL REVEAL THEM
TO BE HUMAN IN ORIGIN.

2 BROWN HUMAN HEAD HAIRS.

DEFINITELY NOT
THE VICTIM'S.

Justin: ALL BUT ONE.

THIS ONE
WILL BAFFLE THEM,

BUT IT WILL ALL
MAKE SENSE LATER.

ONE HAIR
OF NONHUMAN ORIGIN.

SCALE PATTERN OF THE HAIR
MATCHES THAT

OF CYNOCEPHALUS MAIMON.

IT'S A FREAKIN'
BABOON HAIR.

NO FINGERPRINTS,
NO MURDER WEAPON.

THEY'LL HAVE THEIR WORK
CUT OUT FOR THEM.

THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE
PAID FOR, RIGHT?

Sam: HERE IT IS.

CORONER SAID
STRANGULATION WAS SLOW,

PERHAPS THE VICTIM
WAS BEING TORTURED.

UM, THAT THE POSTMORTEM
STAB WOUNDS

BARELY BROKE
THE SURFACE.

THEY WERE TENTATIVE.

OK, THAT'S IT.

ONCE THEY PUT IT
ALL TOGETHER,

THEY'LL DECIDE THAT,
GIVEN THE SLOPPY NATURE

OF THE CRIME SCENE--

THE POSTMORTEM
MUTILATION--

THE PROFILE WILL LEAN
TOWARDS THAT

OF A DISORGANIZED
OFFENDER.

POOR SOCIAL SKILLS.

Justin:
NOCTURNAL BY NATURE.

PROBABLY
INTO PORNOGRAPHY.

Justin: ABOVE AVERAGE
INTELLIGENCE, BUT UNEDUCATED.

LIVES ALONE.

LIMITED RELATIONS
WITH WOMEN.

ATTACK WAS SPONTANEOUS.

UNPLANNED.

EXCEPT, HE DIDN'T
DRIVE DOWN CLOSE

TO THE DUMP SPOT.

THAT IS PLANNING.

BUT HE LEFT
THE FOOTPRINTS.

NONE OF THE PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
WILL LEAD TO THE SUSPECT,

BUT THEY WILL DAMN HIM
WHEN HE IS DISCOVERED.

WHEN WILL THEY
HAVE A SUSPECT?

THEY SHOULD BE
EATING OUT OF OUR HANDS

RIGHT ABOUT NOW.

Richard: POOR RAY.
HE'LL NEVER SEE IT COMING.

CASSIE,
LOOK AT THIS.

"VIGI BOOTS."

WHAT THE HELL
ARE VIGI BOOTS?

THERE HE IS,
IN THE BLACK COAT.

DON'T LET HIM
CHARM YOU TOO MUCH.

RICHARD HAYWOOD?

CASSIE MAYWEATHER,
SAM KENNEDY.

SAN BENITO POLICE.

CAN WE TALK TO YOU
FOR A MINUTE?

YEAH, SURE.

SO, YOU'RE WILLING
TO SPEAK TO US

WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY
PRESENT?

SURE.

WHERE WERE YOU
LAST THURSDAY NIGHT?

YOU THINK YOU COULD
TELL ME WHAT THIS IS ABOUT?

WE'LL GET TO THAT.
JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION.

I WAS CRAMMING FOR THIS
CALCULUS MID-TERM.

I WAS WITH
A STUDY GROUP.

HOW LONG?

FROM ABOUT 7:00
UNTIL 3:00 FRIDAY MORNING.

THAT'S QUITE
A CRAM SESSION.

YEAH, WELL...

YOU KNOW, I GOT
KIND OF A SPOTTY RECORD.

I GOT TO KEEP MY GRADES UP
FOR COLLEGE.

CAN YOU GIVE US THE NAMES
OF THE OTHER PEOPLE THERE?

YEAH. SURE.

AM I IN SOME KIND
OF TROUBLE?

YOU SEEM VERY PARTICULAR

ABOUT YOUR APPEARANCE,
RICHARD.

THANKS.

I LIKE YOUR OUTFIT, TOO.

SHE LOOKS GOOD.
IT'S LIKE, UH--LIKE, UH...

FEMININE, BUT IT STILL
MANAGES TO BE PROFESSIONAL.

IS THAT LIKE, A--
LIKE, A PLEATHER?

KMART.

WHAT WE'RE INTERESTED IN
IS YOUR SHOES, RICHARD.

LET'S TALK
ABOUT THESE.

VIGIs?

YOU OWN A PAIR
OF THESE?

UH...

YOU BOUGHT THEM
AT, UH, SCARLATTI'S,

DOWNTOWN SANTA BARBARA,
FOR $637.50...

ON YOUR PLATINUM
BANK CARD.

SIZE 12-D.

THIS CAN'T BE
ABOUT MY SHOES.

Cassie: WHY NOT?

THIS IS ABOUT
MY SHOES?

[CHUCKLES]

WHEW.

YOU GOT ME FREAKED OUT
LIKE I DID SOMETHING.

JEEZ.

DID YOU FIND THEM
OR WHAT?

I REPORTED THEM
STOLEN FROM MY LOCKER,

LIKE, 3 WEEKS AGO.

I EVEN FILED A REPORT
WITH THE FRONT OFFICE.

WELL, DID YOU FIND
THOSE SHOES OR NOT?

OH, YOU KNOW WHAT?

I THINK YOU SHOULD
TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON.

'CAUSE I'M...
SPINNING OUT HERE.

SHOE PRINTS MATCHING THESE
WERE FOUND

AT THE SCENE
OF A MURDER LAST WEEK.

WHAT, THE COVINGTON WOMAN?

THAT'S RIGHT.

SO, YOU THINK THAT THE PERSON
THAT STOLE MY SHOES

COMMITTED THIS MURDER?

WELL, I WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT I'M GONNA COOPERATE

IN ANY WAY THAT I CAN.

YOU HAVE
ANY IDEA WHO MIGHT

HAVE STOLEN
YOUR BOOTS?

NO, I DON'T.

I WISH I DID NOW, THOUGH.
HEH HEH.

ANY ENEMIES
AT SCHOOL?

OH, WELL,
IT'S HIGH SCHOOL.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

COME ON.
I DON'T WANT TO SOUND ARROGANT,

BUT THERE'S PEOPLE
AT THIS SCHOOL

WHO ENVY ME.

REALLY?

YEAH.

WHY WOULD THEY
DO THAT?

WELL, LET'S JUST SAY
THAT I'M VERY FORTUNATE,

AND I'VE BEEN BLESSED
IN MANY WAYS.

MUST BE NICE
BEING YOU, RICHARD.

I GOT NO COMPLAINTS.

IT ALL CHECKED OUT.

HE FILED A REPORT
ABOUT THE BOOTS,

JUST LIKE HE SAID,

AND HE MADE A PRETTY BIG
FUSS ABOUT IT,

ACCORDING
TO THE PRINCIPAL.

YEAH, I BET HE WAS
A PAIN IN THE ASS.

WELL, SHE DIDN'T
SAY ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

NO, BELIEVE ME.

I HATE KIDS LIKE THAT.

LIKE WHAT?

CASSIE...

WHAT ABOUT
THE STUDY SESSION?

6 KIDS--6 KIDS WERE
AT HIS HOUSE WITH HIM,

UH, FROM APPROXIMATELY
7:00, 7:30 THURSDAY EVENING

TILL 3:00 a.m. FRIDAY.

I TALKED TO ALL OF THEM.

THEY ALL SAID HE WAS THERE
THE WHOLE TIME,

EXCEPT FOR 15 MINUTES,

WHEN HE WENT TO A LOCAL
ATM TO GET CASH

FOR SOME PIZZA
THEY'D ORDERED.

DID YOU CHECK THAT OUT?

YEAH, HE WITHDREW $40
AT 9:19.

GET THAT ENHANCED.

WHY?

BECAUSE I CAN'T
SEE HIS FACE.

WELL, IT'S HIM.

I CAN'T SEE HIS FACE.

YOU REALLY THINK HE HAD
ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS?

I DON'T KNOW.

BUT SOMETHING'S
NOT RIGHT WITH THAT KID.

WELL, LOOK,
15 MINUTES--

IT DOESN'T GIVE HIM
ENOUGH TIME.

HE'S GOT TO DRIVE UP
TO COVINGTON, KILL THE WOMAN,

DUMP HER BODY IN MARIPOSAS
WOODS AND GET BACK.

HE'D NEED AT LEAST AN HOUR.

[CLINKING]

THEY QUESTIONED ME.

AND?

AND IT WAS SO COOL.

DID THEY
GO FOR THE SHOES?

OH, THEY GRABBED IT.

I WAS SO GOOD.
I REALLY WAS. LISTEN...

Richard, on tape: THIS
CAN'T BE ABOUT MY SHOES.

Cassie: WHY NOT?

Richard:
DID YOU FIND THEM OR WHAT?

YOU SURE THEY DIDN'T
SUSPECT ANYTHING?

I MEAN,
YOU DIDN'T OVERDO IT?

A LITTLE BIT.

I OVERDID IT
A LITTLE BIT.

Richard: SO, YOU THINK THAT
THE PERSON THAT STOLE MY SHOES

COMMITTED THIS MURDER?

WELL, I WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT I'M GONNA COOPERATE

IN ANY WAY THAT I CAN.

YOU KNOW?
[LAUGHS]

MEET ME AT THE BLUFF
TONIGHT.

I'M GONNA TELL YOU
ALL ABOUT IT.

OH, I CAN'T.

WHY NOT?

I--I HAVE
SOMETHING TO DO.

LIKE WHAT?

I'LL TELL YOU LATER.
I--I SHOULD...

DO YOU KNOW WHO
THIS KID'S FATHER IS?

Cassie: I DON'T GIVE A SHIT.
I WANT TO SEARCH THE HOUSE.

LAWRENCE HAYWOOD.

HE BUILT
THE HILLSDALE MALL.

BIG CAMPAIGN
CONTRIBUTOR, ROD?

THAT'S RIGHT, CASSIE.

AND I AM NOT ABOUT
TO FUCK WITH A GUY LIKE THAT

ON ANYTHING AS FLIMSY
AS THIS.

I'VE GROWN MUCH TOO FOND
OF MY OWN ASS TO DO ANYTHING

THAT GODDAMN STUPID.

[SIGHS]

AND WHAT
IS YOUR PROBLEM?

Rod: WHERE ARE YOU
ON THIS, SAM?

I DON'T CARE WHO
HIS FATHER IS, EITHER.

THAT'S NOT
WHAT I'M ASKING.

DO YOU THINK WE HAVE ENOUGH
TO GO AFTER THIS KID?

NO.

AND IF WE
GO IN TOO SOON,

I THINK WE COULD
BURN THE WHOLE CASE.

OH, REALLY?
AND WHY IS THAT, VICE?

Swanson: LOOK, I DON'T THINK
THERE'S A JUDGE IN THE COUNTY

WHO'S GONNA SIGN A WARRANT
ON THE BASIS OF--

OH, YOU KNOW WHAT?
SHUT UP, SWANSON.

LOOK, ROD,
I'M TELLING YOU THIS KID

WITH HIS DICK HEAD
ATTITUDE AND--

LOOK, HIS ATTITUDE
ISN'T A CRIME.

IT IS AN INDICATOR.
IT'S A PERSONALITY TYPE

THAT'S VERY CAPABLE
OF DOING--

HE DOESN'T FIT
THE PROFILE--

YEAH, THE PROFILE
DOESN'T FIT THE PROFILE!

THE KILLER
HAS ENOUGH SMARTS

NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR
DOWN TO THE DUMP SITE,

THE FORESIGHT TO STEAL
RICHARD'S BOOTS

AND USE THEM INSTEAD OF
HIS OWN, BUT THE ATTACK

WAS SPONTANEOUS
AND UNPLANNED?

OK, BUT
IF YOU'RE RIGHT

AND WE PUSH
TOO SOON--

ROD, WHOSE CASE IS THIS?
WHOSE CASE IS THIS?

CALM DOWN, PLEASE.

NO, I'VE BEEN TRYING
TO FIND OLIVIA'S KILLER.

OK? I'M BUSTING MY ASS
NIGHT AND DAY--

OLIVIA?
WHO THE HELL IS OLIVIA?

THE VICTIM.

IS THIS STILL
MY INVESTIGATION?

IT'S A COORDINATED EFFORT.

YOU'RE GETTING WAY
TOO INVOLVED IN THIS, CASSIE.

CASSIE?

WHAT?

YOU CALLED HER
BY HER FIRST NAME.

I'M SORRY. WHAT?

YOU SAID, "I'VE BEEN TRYING
TO FIND OLIVIA'S KILLER."

NO, I DIDN'T.

DID I?

YEAH, YOU DID.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE
IDENTIFYING WITH THE KILLER,

NOT THE VICTIM.

YOU REMEMBER THAT?

[DOOR SLAMS]

Matlock, on TV: YOU DON'T HAVE
ANY WITNESSES OR FINGERPRINTS

OR POWDER BURNS OR...

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Man, on TV: TOBIAS ALWAYS
KEPT A GUN RIGHT HERE.

LOADED.

CAN I COME IN?

WITHIN EASY REACH OF ANYBODY
SITTING AT THIS DESK.

[LOWERS VOLUME]

LISTEN--
LISTEN, I'M SORRY

I DIDN'T BACK YOU UP
IN THERE.

HEY, I'M A BIG GIRL.

YOU SAID WHAT
YOU THOUGHT, RIGHT?

YES, BUT IT--

WELL, THEN,
YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.

YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T
JUST BUST IN THERE--

YEAH, I KNOW.
I HEARD YOU WITH ROD.

SO, CAN YOU GET
OUT OF THE WAY?

YOU KNOW WHAT
YOUR PROBLEM IS?

YEAH, IT'S THAT
YOU'RE BLOCKING MATLOCK.

NOW CAN YOU GET
OUT OF THE WAY?

PLEASE?

I'M JUST--I'M TRYING
TO APOLOGIZE HERE.

ALL RIGHT.

APOLOGY ACCEPTED.

YOU WANT TO SIT DOWN?

WANT TO HAVE A COOKIE?

HI.
HI.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

MMM, I'M MAKING UP.

WE'RE STILL FRIENDS, RIGHT?

WHAT--WHAT'S THIS?

I DON'T KNOW.
LET'S FIND OUT.

SO, WHAT HAPPENS?

WE DO THIS AND YOU
THROW ME OUT AGAIN?

OR YOU STAY.

OR, THIS TIME, YOU LEAVE.
I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S REALLY HARD TO TELL
IN ADVANCE.

WHAT DO YOU WANT, HUH?
YOU WANT--YOU WANT PROMISES?

YOU WANT A RING?

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?
DO YOU WANT A RING?

DON'T.
ALL RIGHT?

LOOK, IT'S NOT JUST
ABOUT SEX. OK?

I REALLY RESPECT YOU
AS A PERSON.

IS THAT WHAT YOU--

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS
WANT TO HURT PEOPLE?

I WOULDN'T SAY ALWAYS.

IT JUST KIND OF HAPPENS
SOMETIMES.

YOU--YOU'RE SO--
YOU'RE SO GOOD

AT BREAKING
OTHER PEOPLE DOWN.

BUT YOU NEVER STOP
AND TAKE A LOOK AT YOURSELF.

THE NEIGHBOR
HEARD 2 SHOTS.

ONLY ONE SLUG
WAS EVER FOUND.

THE OTHER--

[SHUTS OFF TV]

ALL RIGHT.

[GIGGLES]
WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME?

NO PEEKING.
WE'RE ALMOST THERE.

STEP UP.

OK.

OPEN YOUR EYES.

OH, MY GOD.
JUSTIN, THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.

DID YOU GROW THESE?

WHAT HAPPENED?
YOU'RE DIFFERENT.

YEAH, I AM DIFFERENT.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[RING]

MAYWEATHER.

HELLO?

Operator: YOU HAVE A COLLECT
CALL FROM AN INMATE

IN THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT
OF CORRECTIONS FACILITY.

THE NAME
OF THE INMATE IS...

CARL HUDSON.

IF YOU WISH
TO ACCEPT, PRESS--

[RING]

[RING]

I DO NOT WISH TO ACCEPT
ANY CALLS FROM--

CASSIE?

WHAT?

IT'S SAM.

HEY. HI.
I'M SORRY.

UM, WHAT CAN I DO
FOR YOU?

REMEMBER THE PUKE
AT THE BODY DUMP?

YEAH.

WELL, MOST OF IT
WAS UNIDENTIFIABLE,

BUT, UH, KEVIN
MANAGED TO ISOLATE

WHAT TURNED OUT TO BE
PARTIALLY DIGESTED EGGS.

FISH EGGS.

OH, YOU MEAN CAVIAR?

YEAH, APPARENTLY SO.

ANYWAY,
I COMPILED A LIST

OF ALL THE LOCAL
RESTAURANTS

AND VENDORS
THAT SELL CAVIAR.

"MAISON SAINT CROIX."

WHAT WAS HIS NAME
AGAIN?

RICHARD HAYWOOD.

MILES HAYWOOD'S KID?

HE CAME IN HERE ONCE
AROUND CHRISTMAS

WITH HIS PARENTS.

NOT LAST WEEK?
WEDNESDAY? THURSDAY?

I HARDLY EVER SEE
ANY HIGH SCHOOL KIDS

IN HERE
DURING THE WEEK.

EXCEPT JUSTIN PENDLETON.

WHO'S JUSTIN PENDLETON?

HE USED TO COME IN WITH
HIS FATHER ALL THE TIME,

BUT I THINK
HIS PARENTS SPLIT UP.

NOW HE COMES IN
BY HIMSELF.

HE'S A SENIOR
OVER AT JEFFERSON.

RICHARD HAYWOOD'S
A SENIOR OVER AT JEFFERSON.

JUSTIN EATS HERE ALONE?

HE ALWAYS BRINGS A BOOK.

HE'S A BIT OF A LONER,
I'D SAY,

BUT A BRILLIANT KID.

YOU SHOULD
HEAR HIM TALK.

WHEN WAS HE
IN HERE LAST?

THE FIFTH.
7:30 p.m.

WHAT TIME DID HE LEAVE?

I'D SAY ABOUT 9:00.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT HE ATE?

DO YOU HAVE
THE COMPUTER RECORDS?

JUSTIN...

HI. CASSIE MAYWEATHER
WITH THE SAN BENITO POLICE.

YOU'RE A...
POLICE OFFICER?

I'M A HOMICIDE
INVESTIGATOR.

THEY SAID AT SCHOOL
THAT I MIGHT FIND YOU HERE.

CAN I ASK YOU
A COUPLE QUESTIONS?

SURE.

YOU HAD DINNER
AT THE MAISON SAINT CROIX

ON THE FIFTH
OF THIS MONTH?

[CORRECTING PRONUNCIATION]
MAISON SAINT CROIX.

OH... THANK YOU.

THE FIFTH WAS A THURSDAY,
AND THEY HAD A CAVIAR APPETIZER.

DID YOU HAVE IT?

UM... YEAH.
I--I MIGHT HAVE.

CAN YOU TELL ME
WHAT HAPPENED?

DO YOU KNOW
RICHARD HAYWOOD?

EVERYONE KNOWS HIM.

IS HE INVOLVED
IN THIS?

IS HE A FRIEND
OF YOURS?

NO.

I MEAN, I--
I TUTORED HIM

FOR HIS BIO S.A.T.
LAST YEAR,

BUT I--WE'RE NOT...

WE DON'T OWN
MUCH IN COMMON.

HMM.

ARE YOU
IN HIS STUDY GROUP?

UH, NO.
WHAT STUDY GROUP?

WHEN YOU LEFT
THE RESTAURANT ON THURSDAY,

DID YOU TAKE
LEFTOVERS WITH YOU?

NO.

YOU DIDN'T TAKE
LEFTOVERS

TO YOUR FRIENDS
AT THE STUDY GROUP?

GIVE THEM
SOMETHING TO EAT?

LOOK, I--I TOLD YOU.
I BARELY KNOW HIM.

HE MAKES FUN OF ME
IN CLASS.

WHY WOULD HE
DO THAT?

'CAUSE, UM...
THAT'S WHAT HE'S LIKE.

I MEAN, HE MAKES FUN
OF EVERYONE.

HE'S ONE
OF THE COOL KIDS.

WHAT MAKES HIM COOL?

YOU KNOW.
HE'S SMART, HE'S RICH.

HE'S WITTY
AND EVERYONE LIKES HIM.

AND YOU DON'T?

HMM.

YEAH, I KNEW KIDS
LIKE THAT.

SUPERSTARS OF HIGH SCHOOL.

TRUST ME--5 YEARS FROM NOW,
NOBODY'LL CARE WHO THEY ARE.

YEAH, WELL, RICHARD
WILL ALWAYS BE COOL.

I MEAN,
HIS DADDY'S RICH.

AND I HATE TO ADMIT IT,

BUT HE'S ACTUALLY
PRETTY SMART.

I MEAN, HE'S LAZY
AND HE DIDN'T STUDY,

BUT HE STILL GOT, LIKE,
A 710 ON THAT BIO S.A.T.

KIND OF SPUN ME OUT.
YOU KNOW?

SPINNING OUT, HUH?

YOU SEEM TO KNOW HIM
QUITE WELL, ACTUALLY.

WELL, YOU CAN TELL

JUST BY HIS BEHAVIOR
IN CLASS.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]
SORRY.

YEAH?
CASSIE, WHERE YOU BEEN?

EVERYBODY'S
LOOKING FOR YOU.

SAM I.D.'d THE SUSPECT.

WHO IS IT?
IS HE IN CUSTODY?

I DON'T KNOW.
ASK SAM.

HE'S IN CHARGE
OF THE CASE NOW.

S.I.D. IS OVER THERE NOW
COLLECTING EVIDENCE.

HI, CASS.

LOOK AT THIS, SIR.

THAT COULD BE A MATCH.

GOOD--LOG THAT.

I WANT SAMPLES
OF FABRICS, SOILS,

ANY MOLDS, PLANTS,
IN HERE AND OUTSIDE. OK?

YES, SIR.
GOOD.

HEY, JOHN'S FOUND
A SIGNIFICANT STASH

OF MARIJUANA BUDS.

YOU MIND IF WE
SMOKE UP WHILE WE WORK?

YES, I DO.

[SNICKERS]

SO, WHO IS HE?

RAYMOND LEE FEATHERS.

HE'S A JANITOR
OVER AT JEFFERSON HIGH.

YOU SEE, I COMPILED A LIST
OF EVERYONE AT THE SCHOOL,

STUDENTS AND STAFF,
WHO MIGHT HAVE STOLEN

RICHARD HAYWOOD'S BOOTS.

THEN I CROSS-INDEXED THAT
AGAINST CARPET PURCHASES,

AND OUT CAME THIS.

APPARENTLY, HE SOLD GRASS
TO THE KIDS AT SCHOOL.

GOOD WORK.

THANK YOU.

WHERE IS HE?

I DON'T KNOW.

HE SEEMS LIKE
HE TOOK OFF.

DID YOU RUN HIM
FOR PRIORS?

YEAH.
A COUPLE D.U.I.s.

ONE MINOR POT BUST,

BUT HE HASN'T
SHOWN UP FOR WORK

SINCE THE DAY WE TALKED
TO RICHARD HAYWOOD OVER THERE.

DID YOU FIND THE BOOTS?

NOT YET, BUT WE MAY
HAVE A MATCH

ON THE YELLOW
CARPET FIBERS.

WE WON'T GET ANYTHING
ON THE VEHICLE FIBERS,

YOU KNOW,
TILL WE FIND HIS CAR.

BUT HE'S GOT A BIG, BIG,
COLLECTION OF PORNO FILMS.

MOSTLY BONDAGE.

Both: JUST LIKE THE PROFILE.

YEAH.

WHAT?

[SQUISH]

WELL, HE'S NOT
A NEATNESS FREAK.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

HE'S SLOPPY ENOUGH
TO LEAVE BEHIND

FOOTPRINTS
OF STOLEN SHOES,

BUT HE'S SMART ENOUGH
TO STEAL THEM IN ADVANCE?

OH, COME ON, CASSIE.
THIS IS OUR GUY--NO QUESTION.

YEAH, THAT'S GREAT.
YOU FIND ANY CAVIAR JARS?

OH, COME ON.
WAIT A MINUTE.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

YOU'RE TICKED
THAT I GOT HIM, AREN'T YOU?

NO, IF YOU GOT HIM,
I'M HAPPY FOR YOU.

CASSIE,
I'VE BEEN THINKING.

AFTER WE
CLOSE THIS CASE,

MAYBE WE SHOULD LOOK
FOR DIFFERENT PARTNERS.

MIGHT BE BETTER.

WHATEVER YOU WANT.

GOOD.

NICE WORK, GUYS.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
I GOTTA TAKE A PISS.

DON'T WORRY, I WON'T
CONTAMINATE ANY EVIDENCE.

SHE PEES STANDING UP,
THAT ONE.

AL...

Sam: THIS IS MY PARTNER.

DON'T TALK ABOUT HER
LIKE THAT, PLEASE.

YOU'RE NOT SLEEPING
WITH HER ALREADY, ARE YOU?

WHAT?
YOU WILL.

THAT'S CASSIE'S M.O.

SHE LETS YOU
GET CLOSE

AND THEN
SHE PUSHES YOU AWAY.

YOU ASK HER WHAT'S WRONG,
SHE PICKS A FIGHT.

WHY DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE WORKING WITH HER?

NO ONE ELSE WILL.
[SNICKERS]

[CRASH, CLANG]

[SCREECHING]

AAH!

[SQUEALING]

Cassie:
LOOKS LIKE A BODY DUMP.

Man: DON'T LOCK
THAT DOOR, JEFF!

I'M NOT GOING
OUT THAT DOOR!

Radio: WHAT'S THE VICTIM'S
STATUS? OVER.

NOW WE KNOW WHERE THAT
BABOON HAIR CAME FROM.

[LAUGHS]
YEAH.

[GROANS]

IT'S OK.

Iron Maiden, on radio:
FOR IT IS A HUMAN NUMBER.

IT'S NUMBER IS 666.

* YEAH *

* WHOO AHH *

* AHH AHH *

* AHH AHH OW *

HEY, LISA.

YOU WANT A RIDE?

WE ALREADY
DID THAT, RICHARD.

AH, COME ON.

THAT'S NOT WHAT
I'M TALKING ABOUT.

I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.

DO YOU WANT ME TO BEG?

I'M PLEADING.

YOU'RE GONNA GET
IN AN ACCIDENT.

NO--I DON'T--
PLEASE. I DON'T CARE.

'CAUSE YOU MAKE ME SAD.

COME ON.

* AS THEY
START TO CRY *

* HANDS HELD
TO THE SKY *

COME ON.
IT'S FUN IN HERE.

* THE FIRES
ARE BURNING BRIGHT *

[LISA GIGGLES]

* SATAN'S WORK IS DONE *

* 666 *

HELLO, JUSTIN.

HOW YOU DOING?

WHAT ARE, UH...

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? 1063 00:53:41,564 -->
00:53:43,1000 YOU STOOD ME UP FOR THAT SLUT? 1064
00:53:43,1000 --> 00:53:45,234 SHE'S NOT A SLUT.

DID YOU TELL HER
ANYTHING ABOUT US?

OF COURSE NOT.

OF COURSE NOT.

DID YOU FUCK HER?

I WAS HELPING HER
WITH HER PHYSICS--

YOU FUCKED HER.
I SAW YOU FUCK HER.

WE KISSED.

YOU KISSED?

THAT WAS IT, I SWEAR.

AH, JUSTIN.

YOU HELPED LISA,
AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN GET LAID?

WHAT A SHMUCK.

SHE'S NOT LIKE THAT.

BULLSHIT.

THAT CHICK SPREADS
LIKE PEANUT BUTTER.

I THINK YOU'D BE SURPRISED

WHAT A GIRL
WITHOUT A DADDY'LL DO

FOR A LITTLE
MALE ATTENTION.

[HEAVY BREATHING]

Richard:
OH, YOU'RE SO PRETTY.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

[RING]

[RING]

[RING]

Richard:
DO YOU HATE ME?

I HAD TO DO IT.

THE LAST THING I WANT
TO DO IS HURT YOU,

BUT I HAD TO SHOW YOU
WHAT SHE'S REALLY LIKE.

AND THAT'S WHAT
SHE'S LIKE.

SHE'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH
FOR YOU.

SHE DOESN'T APPRECIATE YOU.

SHE JUST--SHE'S LIKE
YOUR MOTHER AND YOUR FATHER

AND EVERYONE ELSE.

I'M THE ONLY PERSON
WHO REALLY CARES ABOUT YOU.

YOU KNOW, I THINK
I'M, LIKE, THE ONLY PERSON

WHO SEES HOW INCREDIBLE
YOU REALLY ARE.

DON'T--DON'T
GO AWAY, JUSTIN.

COME ON.
WHAT WE DID...

TOGETHER...

MAN, HOW MANY PEOPLE
HAVE DONE THAT?

WE PROVED SOMETHING
TO EACH OTHER.

WE SHOWED WHAT
WE'RE CAPABLE OF.

THERE'S NO LIMITS
FOR MEN LIKE US.

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT RAY?

THEY'RE ON TO HIM.

JUST ONE LAST THING TO DO,
AND THEN WE'RE HOME FREE.

RIGHT?

DO WE HAVE TO?

YOU TELL ME.

DO WE HAVE TO?

RICHARD?

IS THAT YOU?

WHAT'D YOU BRING,
THE POMPOMS?

SHH.

I BROUGHT SOMETHING
TO HELP YOU SLEEP.

WHAT THE FUCK?

[BANG, SPLATTER]

MY PHYSICS TEST.
I GOT A B+.

YOU'RE A GENIUS.

DON'T.

HEY, I HAVE
SOMETHING FOR YOU.

WHAT IS THIS?

YOU'RE QUITE
THE SLUT.

WHAT?

HEY!

WHAT?!

[GIRLS GASP]

MMM.

[SIGHS]

HOW LONG HAS HE
BEEN IN HERE?

NURSE ON
THE NIGHT SHIFT

SAID HE CAME IN
ABOUT 4:00.

[SAM GRUNTS]

HOW YOU FEELING?

OH, I'M OK.

I'M A LITTLE SORE,
BUT...

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I--YOU KNOW.

FIGURED YOU'D WANT
AN IMMEDIATE REPORT.

OH... YEAH, I DO.

SO...

WE GOT EVERYTHING.

EXCELLENT.

THE BOOTS?

THAT'S AN AFFIRMATIVE.

AND A PAIR OF TIN SNIPS
AND A PHILLIPS HEAD.

ALL THE TRACES OF BLOOD.

AND A FINGER, RIGHT?

WAS IT IN A JAR BEHIND

A STACK OF OLD
MAGAZINES, OR WAS IT

IN THE FREEZER UNDER
THE FROZEN TURKEY THIGH?

BEHIND THE VANILLA FUDGE
ICE CREAM.

HMM.

WELL, GOOD WORK.

ALL YOU NEED NOW
IS A CONFESSION.

WELL, THERE WON'T BE ONE.

RAYMOND FEATHERS
COMMITTED SUICIDE LAST NIGHT.

SUICIDE?

YEAH.

IT WAS A GUN
TO THE HEAD.

POWDER BURNS,
G.S.R. ON HIS RIGHT HAND.

YEAH, WELL,
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME

YOU HEARD
OF A RITUAL MUTILATOR,

AN IMPULSIVE,
SERIAL-TYPE KILLER,

COMMITTING SUICIDE?

UHH!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I CAN'T THINK OF ONE.

PSYCHOS
WANT TO GET CAUGHT.

OH, WAIT.
YOU GOT TO LIE DOWN.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'M ACTUALLY FEELING

A LOT BETTER.
THANK YOU.

WELL, I--

I THINK THESE KIDS
DID THIS,

AND I THINK THEY'RE
NOT EVEN HIDING IT,

AND I THINK
THEY WANT US TO KNOW.

SO, LET'S GET TO KNOW THEM
A LITTLE BETTER.

TURN AROUND.
I WANT TO GET DRESSED.

OH, COME ON, WE GOT RAY
ALL OVER THIS THING.

PLUS, HE RAN.

WHY DID HE RUN
IF HE DIDN'T DO IT?

I DON'T KNOW,
BUT THERE'S A REASON.

IS THIS JEALOUSY 'CAUSE
I GOT HIM AND YOU DIDN'T?

OR ARE YOU SO OBSESSED
WITH RICHARD HAYWOOD

YOU CAN'T EVEN
THINK STRAIGHT?

LOOK, I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T--

GET OFF OF ME.

YOU'VE BEEN ANGLING
FOR THIS THE WHOLE TIME.

PUSH ME OUT,
TAKE OVER--

PUSH YOU OUT?
I TRIED TO TURN IT DOWN.

THEY MADE ME TAKE IT,
'CAUSE THEY THINK

YOU'RE LOSING IT.

WHO THINKS
I'M LOSING IT? WHO?

ROD?

YOU KNOW WHAT?
I DON'T CARE IF I'M LOSING IT.

I'M RIGHT.

[DOG BARKING]

Woman: HEY! HEY!

[CALLING DOG]

Woman: HOW DID YOU
COME BY THIS?

WELL, IT WAS
THE WEIRDEST THING.

I WAS DRIVING BY THE HOUSE,

A TRASH CAN GOT KNOCKED OVER,
AND, UH...

THE STUFF WAS BLOWING OVER
IN THE STREET.

WHAT A BREAK.

SOME OF THIS
WILL BE THE MOTHER'S

AND SOME WILL BE
FROM THE BOY.

WHAT IS THIS? IS THIS...

DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL.

WE WON'T KNOW UNTIL
WE GET THE REPORT BACK,

SEE WHAT, IF ANYTHING,
MATCHES THE DNA OF THE PUKE.

LUCKY YOUR KID
WAS SO SQUEAMISH.

HE GAVE US SOME BLOOD
WITH HIS DINNER.

JUST MAKE SURE YOU GET
A SIGNED PURCHASE ORDER.

HOW LONG BEFORE
WE SEE ITS MATCH?

DEPENDS ON THE LAB.

DO WANT ME
TO CALL THEM FOR YOU?

NO! LAST TIME
YOU CALLED,

IT TOOK ME HALF AN HOUR
TO CALM THE GUY DOWN.

WELL, JUST MAKE IT FAST,
ALL RIGHT? BYE.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.
OK. SEE YA.

WHAT'S THIS?

IT'S A PURCHASE ORDER
FOR THE DNA ANALYSIS.

I KNOW WHAT IT IS.
THIS CASE IS CLOSED.

CLOSED!

NOW, IF YOU CAN'T
UNDERSTAND THAT,

THEN MAYBE WE--

YOU NEED
SOME TIME OFF?

NOPE. I'M FINE.

YOU'RE NOT FINE.

YOU'RE BRILLIANT
SOMETIMES,

BUT YOU'RE NEVER
REALLY FINE, ARE YOU, CASS?

YOU WANNA SEE
DOC SLUZER AGAIN?

NO.

THEN NO MORE
ON THIS CASE.

NOT ANOTHER MINUTE.
NOT ANOTHER PENNY.

I'VE ABOUT HAD IT
WITH YOU.

YOU HEAR ME?

YEP.

HEY, CORETTA, IT'S CASS.

LISTEN, I'M GONNA NEED
ANOTHER DAY OR TWO

ON THAT PURCHASE ORDER.

NO, NO, NO,
JUST BOOKKEEPING, YOU KNOW.

CHANGE IN THE SOFTWARE,
THINGS LIKE THAT.

YEAH.

SO YOU'LL GO AHEAD
AND RUN AN ANALYSIS

ON THAT PUKE FOR ME?

THANKS, HONEY.
[HANGS UP]

[SIGHS]

ROD, I'M SORRY. I
SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT--

ROD, I'M SORRY!
COME ON.

Richard: YOU THREW UP?

WHY DIDN'T YOU
TELL ME?

I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER
DOING IT.

HE DOESN'T REMEMBER IT.

WELL, WHAT IF
THEY I.D. YOU...

WITH THE... DNA OR SOMETHING?
CAN THEY DO THAT?

I DOUBT IT. I MEAN,
THE STOMACH ACIDS

USUALLY EAT AWAY
AT WHATEVER--

YOU DOUBT IT?
I DOUBT IT.

THIS COULD PUT US
IN THE FUCKING ELECTRIC CHAIR,

AND YOU DOUBT IT?

GAS CHAMBER.
WHAT?

CALIFORNIA USES
THE GAS CHAMBER.

OH, THAT'S--
THAT'S VERY INFORMATIVE.

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

NO, THANKS. THANK YOU.

AND YOU TOLD HER
THAT YOU TUTORED ME, TOO?

GOD, WHAT ARE YOU
THINKING?

I WAS THINKING THAT IF
SHE FOUND OUT ON HER OWN

AND I HADN'T MENTIONED IT,
IT WOULD LOOK EVEN WORSE.

THEY HAVE NOTHING.

THEY HAVE NOTHING ON ME.

DON'T WORRY.

I'M NOT A BACK-STABBER
LIKE YOU, RICHARD.

I'M THE BACK... [LAUGHS]

HOW AM I A BACK--

I'M NOT THE ONE TALKING,
JUSTIN.

I'M NOT THE ONE GIVING AWAY
ALL THE INFORMATION!

I'M NOT THE ONE
TRYING TO GET US CAUGHT

'CAUSE I'M A SCARED LITTLE BITCH
WHO FEELS GUILTY!

DON'T TALK TO ME
LIKE THAT, OK?

I'LL TALK TO YOU
ANY WAY I WANT TO.

I TRUST YOU, I DEPEND ON YOU
FOR ALL THIS FORENSIC STUFF,

AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!

YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE
THE SMART ONE.

STOP. JUST...

NO. YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO BE SMART. YOU'RE DUMB!

STOP!

I'M SORRY.

COME HERE.

THAT'S A GOOD BOY. HA.

YOU'RE NOT STILL MAD
ABOUT THAT GIRL, ARE YOU?

HUH?

LET'S JUST STICK
TOGETHER AND STAY CALM

UNTIL THIS IS OVER, OK?

AND THEN WHAT?

AND THEN WHAT?

JUSTIN?

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

HEY.

Justin: WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED
TO BE SEEN TOGETHER.

DO YOU THINK THIS IS
SOME KIND OF GAME OR WHAT?

[TELEPHONE LINE RINGS]

COME ON, COME ON,
COME ON.

Machine:
THIS IS SAM KENNEDY.

I'M NOT HERE
TO TAKE YOUR CALL.

I'LL CALL YOU BACK
AS SOON AS I--

[CLOSES PHONE]

RICHARD, WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?

WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?

DO YOU WANT SOMETHING?

LIKE WHAT?

I DON'T KNOW.

EVERYBODY WANTS
SOMETHING, DON'T THEY?

DO THEY?

THEY JUST DON'T KNOW
HOW TO ASK FOR IT.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

YOU THINK I'M TOO YOUNG,
DON'T YOU?

THERE WAS A KILLER
AT YOUR SCHOOL...

THE WHOLE TIME,

SOMEBODY
YOU WERE CLOSE TO.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

RAYMOND FEATHERS?

YOU GUYS WERE FRIENDS,
RIGHT?

WHAT, WITH THAT
DEGENERATE?

NO.

HE DIDN'T REALLY
HAVE MANY FRIENDS.

HE JUST...

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU KNOW, EVEN HIS--

HIS OLD LADY
LEFT HIM.

SO YOU WERE FRIENDS WITH
HIS OLD LADY, TOO, HUH?

YOU'RE A TEASE.

I THINK
YOU LEAD GUYS ON

AND THEN YOU
PUSH THEM AWAY.

BUT I THINK...

YOU LIKE TO FIGHT.

I THINK
YOU REALLY WANT IT.

YOU JUST KINDA NEED
TO FIGHT ABOUT IT.

NO.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO
ANYTHING.

YOU HAVE NO CHOICE.
I'LL DO IT ALL.

NOW YOU CAN'T HANDLE IT,
SO YOU'RE LEAVING, RIGHT?

THIS IS PART OF IT.
THIS IS ALL PART OF IT.

DAMN IT.

NO.

[GROANS] OH...

THANK YOU,

DETECTIVE.

I BET YOU DID THIS

WITH EVERY GUY
YOU EVER DATED.

TELL ME I'M WRONG.

[CHUCKLES]

[BUZZER, KNOCKING]

[KNOCKING]

WHAT IF I CAN LINK RICHARD
TO RAYMOND FEATHERS?

YOU CAN'T STOP,
CAN YOU?

NO, SAM, SAM. LOOK, I'M REALLY
SORRY ABOUT WHAT I SAID TO YOU.

I'M JUST A LITTLE MESSED UP
RIGHT NOW,

BUT IF YOU COULD REALLY
HEAR ME OUT AS A FRIEND...

JUST AS A FRIEND, OK?
[CLEARS THROAT]

THANK YOU.

I SAW RICHARD
AND JUSTIN TONIGHT.

THEY LIED, SAM.
THEY KNOW EACH OTHER.

REALLY?

THESE KIDS BARELY
HAVE PARENTS.

THEY'RE LIKE ORPHANS
WITH CREDIT CARDS.

SCHOOL'S TOO EASY.
THEY DON'T HAVE JOBS.

THEY DON'T HAVE CHORES.

NOTHING'S EXPECTED OF THEM.

NOTHING THEY DO MATTERS...
TO THEM OR ANYBODY ELSE.

SO THEY FIGURED,
WHY NOT KILL SOMEBODY?

MAYBE THAT WILL MATTER.

MAYBE I'M WRONG.
MAYBE RAY DID DO IT,

BUT CALL ROD AND TELL
HIM YOU'RE NOT SURE

AND THAT YOU WANT TO
KEEP THE CASE OPEN.

WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN YOU
AND RICHARD HAYWOOD TONIGHT?

DID YOU HIT HIM...
IN THE FACE?

NO.

NO, IT WASN--WASN'T
LIKE THAT. IT--

IT WAS AN ACCI--

ROD KNOWS?

HE GOT A CALL
FROM RICHARD'S FATHER.

HE'S GONNA MAKE YOU SEE THE
DEPARTMENT SHRINK ABOUT THIS.

NO. NO SHRINK.

IT'S NOT GONNA WORK.

I KNOW WHAT I AM.
I'M JUST NOT V--

OK...

SO NOBODY WANTS
TO WORK WITH ME.

THAT'S OK.

BUT I'M A GOOD COP,

AND IF WHAT I SAY
IS RIGHT

AND WE LET THESE KIDS GO
AND THEY DO IT AGAIN...

SO PLEASE,
JUST TALK TO ROD.

YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
THAT HE'LL LISTEN TO.

I'LL CALL HIM
IN THE MORNING.

WELL, CALL HIM NOW
BECAUSE HE'S STILL UP,

AND HE STAYS UP.
HE STAYS AWAKE!

HE'S UP LATE!
JUST BACK OFF.

IF ROD SAYS YES,

MAYBE YOU COULD EVEN
HANG AROUND THE SCHOOL

AND MAKE THEM NERVOUS,
YOU KNOW?

[BELL RINGS]

REMEMBER, WE HAVE
PAPERS DUE TOMORROW.

NO EXCUSES.

Teacher: DON'T FORGET.

YOU HAVE TO SUPPORT
YOUR CONCLUSIONS.

HAVING A THESIS
IS NOT ENOUGH.

REAL ARGUMENTS WITH QUOTATIONS
WITH THE SOURCES.

Boy: WHAT'S GOIN' ON,
CHRIS?

NOT MUCH.

MR. CHECHI,

I'M SAM KENNEDY,
SAN BENITO POLICE.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

LISA.

SAM KENNEDY FROM
SAN BENITO POLICE.

[DONG DONG DONG]

START TIME. LET'S SEE...

HEY, IT'S ME.

I KNOW HOW THEY DID IT.

NOW WE NEED TO KNOW WHY.

I CAN HELP WITH THAT.

I GOT SOMEONE HERE
YOU OUGHT TO TALK TO.

Cassie: ROD,
LOOK AT THE DNA.

THE VOMIT
IS A PERFECT MATCH

WITH JUSTIN.

WHO PAID FOR THIS?

Sam: CASSIE.

OUT OF HER OWN POCKET.

IF YOU GET A JURY WITH
12 FORENSICS EXPERTS,

YOU'LL BE FINE.

THAT'S WHY WE WANNA
BRING THEM IN.

IF WE DON'T GET
A CONFESSION

OUT OF AT LEAST
ONE OF THESE KIDS,

THEY BOTH COULD WALK.

YOU THINK THEY'LL KEEP TALKING
WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY PRESENT?

THAT'S THE WHOLE IDEA.

THEY WANNA PROVE THEY'RE
SMARTER THAN WE ARE.

OK.

SO WHERE'S THE OTHER ONE?

WHO?

THE HOT ONE.

NOT HERE.

YOU GET TO WORK WITH HER
EVERY DAY?

YEAH.

I SHOULD BECOME A COP.

SO WHAT'S UP WITH RAY?

I HEAR HE'S LIKE, A...

SERIAL KILLER
OR SOMETHING?

WELL, ACTUALLY, WE HAVE
A THEORY ON THAT.

IT INVOLVES
YOU AND JUSTIN.

IT'S JUST A THEORY.

CAN I LAY IT OUT
FOR YOU?

YEAH.

"THEREFORE,

"EVERY TRULY FREE ACT IS,
IN A SENSE, A CRIME,

"FOR CRIME SETS ONE
APART FROM THE HERD

"AND FROM THE MACHINERY
OF MASS SOCIETY.

"BUT IT CANNOT BE A CRIME
OF PROFIT OR PASSION.

"IT MUST BE A GRATUITOUS,
RANDOM CRIME.

"CRIME AS PHILOSOPHY

IS FREEDOM."

INTERESTING.

DO YOU BELIEVE IT?

WELL, IT'S...
A SCHOOL PAPER.

YOU HAVE TO WRITE
SOMETHING.

I ENJOY TAKING
INDEFENSIBLE POSITIONS

AND CREATING
AN ARGUMENT FOR THEM.

MMM.

BUT, DO YOU
BELIEVE IT?

SO THEN
THE QUESTION IS

HOW'D YOU PICK
THE VICTIM?

WAS IT RANDOM?

I MEAN, THAT'S THE WAY
I'D DO IT.

Justin:
THAT ONE, RIGHT THERE.

THE ONE WITH THE FLOWERS.
SHE'S PERFECT.

NO, NO, NO, NO.
SHE'S TOO SKINNY.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND
WHAT RANDOM MEANS?

RANDOM MEANS--

I UNDERSTAND
WHAT RANDOM--

DON'T TALK TO ME
LIKE I'M A MORON.

WE HAVE TO
FOLLOW THE PLAN.

IF WE DON'T
FOLLOW THE PLAN--

THIS ONE. WHAT ABOUT
THIS ONE WITH THE BACKPACK?

DON'T GET IMPATIENT.
OH HO.

WAIT A SECOND.

PULL UP HERE WHERE THE GIRL'S
LOADING THE GROCERIES.

OK.

Cassie:
BUT YOU LOSE THE POINT

OF A PHILOSOPHICAL CRIME
IF YOU FEEL GUILTY, RIGHT?

H-HOW DO YOU MEAN?

IF YOU KILL SOMEBODY
TO PROVE YOU'RE FREE

AND THEN THROW UP
YOUR DINNER

BECAUSE YOU'RE UPSET
ABOUT WHAT YOU DID--

I DIDN'T--

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

RICHARD DIDN'T
THROW UP HIS DINNER

BECAUSE HE DIDN'T
FEEL GUILTY.

HE'S FREE, JUSTIN.
YOU'RE NOT.

RELAX.

LET THEM WONDER
WHAT WE'RE UP TO.

NOW GO IN. GO IN.

HEY. HEY.

DON'T FORGET
YOUR COFFEE.

YOU CAN'T SMOKE
IN HERE.

COME ON.

ARE WE ALMOST DONE HERE?

TAKE A SEAT.

SO, UM... RAY WAS
AN INSPIRED CHOICE.

BUT THE GREAT THING,

THE REALLY GREAT THING
WAS HOW SUBTLY

YOU PLANTED THE FIBERS
AND HAIRS AND STUFF.

I GOT YOU COVERED.

YOU DID RAY, RIGHT?

WASN'T HE
YOUR FRIEND?

YOU TOLD HIM TO HIDE
IN HIS TRAILER

IN LOS PALOS,
DIDN'T YOU?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

Cassie:
YOU WENT HOME,

YOU SAID HELLO
TO YOUR MOTHER.

IT HAD ONLY TAKEN YOU
10 MINUTES

TO WALK HOME
FROM THE RESTAURANT.

IF SHE FEELS SHE CAN
GET AWAY WITH IT,

SHE'S GONNA DO IT.

MOTHER, I'M HOME.

YOU TOLD HER YOU WERE
GOING UP TO DO SCHOOLWORK.

YOU FELT CONFIDENT
SHE WOULDN'T LOOK IN.

AND SHE DIDN'T.
SHE NEVER DID, DID SHE?

[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS]

Richard:
I WAS WITH 6 FRIENDS.

ALL NIGHT.

YOU KNOW THAT.
YOU TALKED TO THEM.

THE NIGHT, SURE, BUT NOT
THE DAY, RICHARD.

THAT'S THE SECRET,
ISN'T IT?

YOU WEREN'T THERE
AT NIGHT.

Cassie: THE THING THAT
ALWAYS CONFUSED ME

WAS THE MUDDY FOOTPRINTS
IN THE HOUSE.

YOU KNOW?

THE SOIL IN THE PLANTING
BED WAS DRY, SO...

WHERE'D THEY COME FROM?

[FOOTSTEPS]

SEE, I FIGURED
IT WAS YOU AT THE HOUSE

'CAUSE JUSTIN
WOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER

THAN TO WALK THROUGH
THE WET BEDS.

THAT WAS EXACTLY 3:30.

HOW LONG DID YOU HAVE
TO WAIT FOR HER

TO COME HOME?

YOU DIDN'T REALLY
KILL HER AT THE HOUSE.

I GOTTA SAY, THAT WAS
A STROKE OF GENIUS.

DID--DID YOU THINK IT UP,
OR WAS IT JUSTIN?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

THAT HELPED US FIGURE OUT
THE REAL TIMETABLE.

THAT GAVE YOU
PLENTY OF TIME

TO GET HOME
WITH THE STUDY GROUP.

WELL, I'M GONNA
GO GET SOME, UH...

Sam: YOU TOLD THEM
YOU WERE GOING TO THE ATM

TO GET CASH FOR THE PIZZA.

YES.
AND YOU DID.

AND I DID.

THEN YOU HURRIED BACK.

THAT TOOK 5 MINUTES.

IT TOOK 5 MINUTES.

NOW WE'RE TALKIN'.

BUT
YOU WERE GONE 15.

WELL, WHAT ARE YOU
LOOKIN' AT?

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYS]

RICHARD
KILLED HER...

DIDN'T HE, JUSTIN?

I THINK IT WAS JUSTIN.

LET ME TELL YOU
SOMETHING.

AND IT'S GONNA BE
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING

YOU EVER HEAR,

MORE IMPORTANT THAN
ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS

ON THE SATs AND APs.

THE PERSON WHO ACTUALLY
KILLED OLIVIA LAKE

IS GONNA BE EXECUTED,

OR AT BEST GO TO JAIL
FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE,

AND IN YOUR CASE, THAT
WOULD BE ABOUT 60 YEARS.

BUT THE OTHER ONE WHO DIDN'T
ACTUALLY KILL HER...

IF HE COOPERATES...

WILL HAVE A CHANCE
AT A REAL LIFE.

Cassie: RICHARD WAS BACK
IN THE STUDY GROUP BY 9:25.

SO YOU MUST HAVE BEEN THE ONE
WHO DUMPED THE BODY.

Cassie:
THE PLANNING WAS EASY.

NOW YOU HAD TO
ACTUALLY DO IT.

[CRUNCH]

AND THAT IS WHY
THE POSTMORTEM WOUNDS

WERE SO TENTATIVE.

BECAUSE YOU WERE TRYING
TO BE LIKE RICHARD,

BUT YOU COULDN'T.

YOU WEREN'T THAT FREE.

THANK GOD.

GO TO HELL.

MY GUY'S
NOT GONNA ROLL.

REALLY?
MM-MM.

I FIGURED
HE'D BE THE ONE.

NO. LET'S TALK ABOUT
GOLDILOCKS FOR A MINUTE.

LISA.
YEAH.

YOU SAID THAT SHE
WENT OUT WITH RICHARD?

YEAH, BRIEFLY.
SHE FELT TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF,

THEN SHE GOT INTERESTED
IN JUSTIN.

LET'S USE THAT.

IT'S AN INTERESTING
THEORY...

BUT I CAN'T ADMIT
TO SOMETHING I DIDN'T DO.

WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE
YOU WON'T HAVE TO.

'CAUSE JUSTIN'S
TALKING IN THERE.

JUSTIN'S HERE?

MM-HMM.

HE TOLD US ABOUT YOU,

ABOUT YOU AND LISA.

OH... [LAUGHS]

WHICH LISA? HA.

SO YOU REALLY NEED TO
TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED.

JUST THINK OF IT
AS A GAME.

WHOEVER TALKS FIRST
IS THE WINNER.

JUSTIN'S SAYING
YOU BETRAYED HIM.

HE TOLD US ABOUT LISA
AND THE TAPE YOU MADE.

JUSTIN'S TALKING.

HE'S GONNA WIN
THIS THING, RICHARD.

UNLESS YOU HAVE
SOMETHING TO TELL ME.

OK, I'M GONNA
GO SEE.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT,
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

COME ON, SIT DOWN.

I HAVE TO ADVISE YOU

OF CERTAIN RIGHTS.

THE INTERVIEW IS OVER.

RICHARD'S FATHER
SENT HIS LAWYER.

CHARGE THEM
OR LET THEM GO.

ANOTHER 10 MINUTES, 5,
WE WOULD HAVE HAD THOSE KIDS.

BOTH OF THEM.

MAN, IF I EVER FIND OUT
WHO LEAKED TO THE PARENTS,

I SWEAR TO GOD...

NO, NO.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
YEAH, UH...

YEAH, I'LL TALK TO YOU
TOMORROW.

YOU KNOW THE ONLY THING
THAT'S STOPPING HIM, JUSTIN,

FROM TALKING?

SAID HE NEEDS TO PROVE
HE'S AS TOUGH AS HIS BUDDY.

HE'S TOUGHER.

YEAH, MAYBE.
BUT THAT RICHARD...

I'M TELLING YOU, I CANNOT
WAIT TILL WE NAIL HIM.

WELL, LOOK,

ONE OF THEM'S THE DOER,
AND HE'S GOING DOWN.

BUT, I MEAN...

YEAH, IT HAPPENS.

IT HAPPENS.
THERE'S SOMETHING...

YOU GET A NARCISSISTIC PRICK
LIKE RICHARD HAYWOOD

WHO DOESN'T CARE ABOUT
ANYBODY BUT HIMSELF...

I'M TELLING YOU, HE USES JUSTIN
SOLELY TO FEED HIS EGO,

PUSH HIM AROUND,
HE CAN FEEL LIKE A MAN.

5 YEARS FROM NOW
WHEN NO ONE EVEN CARES

THAT HE WAS HOMECOMING KING
OR FUNNY IN THE LUNCHROOM

OR STATE POLE VAULTING CHAMP,
I PITY ANYBODY

WHO GETS IN HIS WAY--
ANYBODY.

IS RICHARD
A POLE VAULTER?

NO--I DON'T KNOW.

I MEAN, I WAS JUST USING IT
AS AN EXAMPLE OF, YOU KNOW...

LOOK, UM...

LOOK.

I--I KNOW ABOUT
CARL HUDSON.

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?

THIS IS NONE OF YOUR
GOD--THIS IS MY--

THIS IS MY--
MY MATTER!

MINE!

I KNEW THIS GIRL
IN HIGH SCHOOL.

SMART ENOUGH, BUT...

SHE DIDN'T REALLY
COME FROM ANYTHING.

AND TO EVERYONE'S
AMAZEMENT,

THE MOST POPULAR BOY
IN SCHOOL LIKED HER.

STATE POLE VAULTING CHAMP.

AND YOU WOULD WATCH HIM GO OVER
THAT BAR IN THE SUNLIGHT...

THAT GOLDEN BODY.
IT WAS LIKE...

LIFE JUST COULDN'T GET
ANY MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THAT.

AND IT DIDN'T.

SHE WAS 16
WHEN SHE MARRIED HIM.

17 WHEN HE KNOCKED OUT
HER UPPER BICUSPID,

18 WHEN SHE SAID
SHE WAS LEAVING.

HE PUT HER IN THE HOSPITAL

WITH A PRETTY SERIOUS
CONCUSSION.

A WEEK LATER
WHEN SHE GOT OUT,

SHE STARTED PACKING,
AND HE WAS DRUNK.

POINTED HIS FINGER AT HER,
HE SAID,

"YOU TRY THAT AGAIN,
I'LL KILL YOU."

HE TOOK ANOTHER DRINK,

AND SHE HEADED
FOR THE DOOR.

WHY DIDN'T SHE WAIT
TILL HE WAS OUT,

LEFT FOR WORK?

'CAUSE SHE COULDN'T.
SHE HAD TO GO RIGHT THEN.

WHY THEN?

I--I DON'T KNOW.

IT WAS BECAUSE...

'CAUSE SHE...

[SIGHS]

BECAUSE IT WASN'T ABOUT
GETTING AWAY FROM HIM.

IT WAS ABOUT
STANDING UP TO HIM.

EVEN IF HE KILLED HER.

I GUESS SO.

SO HE STABBED HER
17 TIMES

WITH A KITCHEN KNIFE

AND DUMPED HER BODY
ON A COUNTRY ROAD.

YEAH. RUINED
MY FAVORITE DRESS.

CARL HUDSON.
1708 01:33:27,597 --> 01:33:29,1000 CUTEST BOY I EVER SAW.

UNTIL RICHARD HAYWOOD.

AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO
TESTIFY

AT CARL'S
PAROLE HEARING.

MM-HMM.

WHAT ARE YOU
GONNA SAY?

NOTHING. I'M NOT GOING.

I'M NOT.

YOU GOTTA GO UP THERE.
YOU HAVE TO.

NO. I DON'T HAVE TO.

THE GIRL WITH THE DRESS,
THAT WAS JESSICA MARIE HUDSON,

AND I HAVE NOTHING
TO SAY ABOUT HER.

YOU JUST INHERITED
HER SCARS.

LOOK, I MADE A DEAL.

AND THE DEAL WAS
THAT SHE DIED BACK THERE.

SHE'S IN THE GROUND,
AND I CAN GO ON WITH MY LIFE.

EXCEPT YOU CAN'T,
CAN YOU?

'CAUSE ALL YOU THINK
ABOUT IS CARL HUDSON.

HE'S EVERY CASE.
HE'S EVERY GUY YOU DATE.

YOUR WHOLE WORLD
IS CARL HUDSON.

IS THAT THE LIFE
YOU'RE GOIN' ON WITH?

DID YOU EVER GET HELP
FOR ANY OF THIS?

YEAH.

I BECAME A COP.

YOU CAN'T JUST PRETEND
IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE,
CASS.

OH... IT HAS TO BE.

BECAUSE IF IT GETS
ANY MORE COMPLICATED,

I CAN'T MAKE IT.

Woman: RICHARD HAYWOOD
IS ON LINE ONE.

SWANSON.

SO YOU WANNA TALK TO ME

ABOUT THIS COVINGTON
WOMAN, OR WHAT?

YES, I KNOW ALL ABOUT IT.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

WELL, I KNOW JUSTIN
ALREADY TALKED TO YOU.

I JUST THOUGHT
YOU MIGHT WANNA KNOW

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED.
I THOUGHT IT WAS A GAME.

HOW DO YOU PICK THE VICTIM,
HOW DO YOU GET AWAY WITH IT?

YOU KNOW, WE WERE BORED.

I NEVER TOOK IT SERIOUSLY
UNTIL I WALK INTO THE ROOM

AND SHE'S LAYING THERE.

DID YOU MAKE A DEAL
WITH THAT BASTARD?

HE SAYS HE WASN'T THERE
WHEN IT WENT DOWN.

AL, DID YOU MAKE
A DEAL?

I DON'T MAKE DEALS
OVER THE PHONE, CASSIE,

BUT IF WHAT THIS KID SAYS
CHECKS OUT,

AND THAT'S THE ONLY WAY WE CAN
CONVICT EITHER ONE OF THEM,

THEN MAYBE I WILL.

FINE. THEN
LET'S GET WARRANTS

ON BOTH OF THEM
RIGHT NOW.

Woman: RICHARD,
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO LEAVE
WITHOUT TELLING US.

IT'S A CONDITION OF--

RICHARD. WELL, WILL YOU
BE BACK FOR DINNER?

[SIREN]

NO, JUSTIN'S NOT HERE.

HIS MOTHER THOUGHT
HE WAS IN HIS ROOM,

BUT SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW
WHEN HE LEFT.

YEAH, SIMILAR STORY HERE.
WHAT ABOUT GOLDILOCKS?

LISA?

YEAH, LISA. WHY
DON'T YOU GET OVER THERE

AND SEE WHAT SHE KNOWS.

DETECTIVE, YOU MIGHT WANNA
TAKE A LOOK DOWNSTAIRS.

OK. GOTTA GO. BYE.

I DIDN'T... I DIDN'T KNOW
WHERE ELSE TO GO.

WILL YOU TELL ME
WHAT'S GOING ON?

THE COPS ARE
ASKING ME QUESTIONS

ABOUT YOU AND RICHARD,

AND I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO SAY.

WE KILLED A WOMAN.

[LAUGHS]

NO, YOU DIDN'T.

YES, WE DID.

JUSTIN...

HE MADE YOU DO IT.

IT WASN'T JUST RICHARD.

BUT HE DROVE IT.
IT WAS HIS IDEA.

YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER
DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS

BY YOURSELF.

HE SEDUCED YOU.

JUST LIKE
HE SEDUCED ME.

YOU KNOW WHAT
YOU HAVE TO DO?

YOU HAVE TO TELL THEM
EVERYTHING.

I WILL. I WILL.

I DON'T HAVE
ANY FEELINGS LEFT.

EXCEPT FOR YOU.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

IT'S HIM.

DON'T ANSWER IT.

Richard:
WHERE ARE YOU?

ARE YOU WITH HER?

NO.

YES, YOU ARE.

AND YOU TOLD HER ABOUT US,
DIDN'T YOU?

DID YOU TELL HER
EVERYTHING?

WHERE ARE YOU?

I LEFT HOME.

ALL RIGHT? I--I--
I'M GONE.

I'M NEVER GOIN' BACK.
IT'S OVER.

I KNOW IT'S OVER.
WE HAVE TO TURN OURSELVES IN.

AND GO TO PRISON?

AND BE PUNKS

AND EAT SHIT FOR
THE REST OF OUR LIVES?

DO YOU EVEN REMEMBER
WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT?

YES.

MEET ME AT THE BLUFF
IN AN HOUR.

OK?

JUSTIN?

OK.

I HAVE TO MEET HIM.

TO DO WHAT?

I JUST HAVE TO.

I WISH I MET YOU
FIRST.

CASSIE MAYWEATHER.

HEY.

HAVE A SEAT.

THIS IS WHAT
WE TALKED ABOUT.

GLORY OR NOTHING.

SHOULD WE SAY THE WORDS
FOR THE LAST TIME?

ONE CANNOT LIVE FULLY

WITHOUT EMBRACING
SUICIDE AND CRIME.

SAY IT.

A PACT MADE WITH
RELENTLESS FIRE

THAT REQUIRES
THAT WHILE SOME LIVE...

OTHERS DIE.

ON 3.

1...

2...

3.

HA HA HA HA...

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WELL, I HAVE
THE BULLETS, RIGHT?

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

OPEN YOUR CHAMBER.

JUSTIN--

OPEN IT!

YOU WERE GONNA WATCH ME
KILL MYSELF?

THEY'RE HERE UP AT
THE OLD WINTER LODGE.

Sam: ROGER THAT, CASS.

THAT'S UP ON
HIGHLAND ROAD?

SO HERE'S WHAT'S
GONNA HAPPEN.

SINCE I HAVE THE BULLETS
AND THE GUTS TO USE THEM,

I'LL SHOOT YOU,

AND THEN I'LL SHOOT
MYSELF, OK?

NO.
NO?

NO, NO, NO, NO!

WHY? WOULD YOU RATHER
GO TO PRISON AND BE A PUNK?

HMM?

OR YOU THINK
YOU'D BEAT PRISON

'CAUSE YOU MADE A DEAL?

YOU TALKED. YOU TALKED!

SHOOT ME.

SHOOT ME. SHOOT ME
IN THE HEAD.

SHOOT ME IN THE HEART,
WHATEVER YOU WANT. DO IT.

IT DOESN'T MATTER
ANYMORE.

PULL THE FUCKING TRIGGER.
PULL IT, PULL IT, PULL IT!

COME ON.

JUSTIN, DON'T.

BUT WE HAVE TO PAY
FOR WHAT WE DID.

NOT LIKE THAT.
THAT'S JUST MORE KILLING.

PUT THE GUN DOWN.
PUT THE GUN DOWN.

JUSTIN.

PUT IT DOWN.

JUSTIN.

PLEASE DON'T.

JUSTIN,
JUST FOR ME.

FOR ME.
[DROPS GUN]

COME OVER HERE
NEXT TO ME. COME ON.

DON'T LISTEN
TO HER.

DON'T LISTEN
TO HER.

NO, DON'T--DON'T--

NO!

STAY PUT. PEOPLE
ARE ON THE WAY.

HEY, RICHARD.

YEAH, YOU THINK
YOU'RE SO SMART, HUH?

JUSTIN'S SMARTER.
YOU REMEMBER THAT.

I GOT ONE LEFT. HA.

AW, TO HELL WITH IT.

[GUNSHOT]

[THUDDING]

OH!

NO! NO!

OH! AAH!

HA HA!

AAH!

Carl's voice:
LISTEN TO ME!

LISTEN TO ME! YOU ARE NOT
GOIN' OUT THAT DOOR, JESS!

YOU ARE NOT GOIN' OUT
THAT DOOR!

JUSTIN.

JUSTIN... JUSTIN,
PLEASE.

JUSTIN, PLEASE.

PLEASE... DON'T.

JUSTIN, DON'T,
JUSTIN!

JUSTIN... JUSTIN...

DON'T.
JUSTIN, DON'T.

[WHIMPERING]

NO, NO, NO, NO.

DON'T, DON'T, DON'T,
DON'T, JUSTIN.

[WHIMPERING]

GRAB IT. GRAB IT.

I GOT IT.

THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.

OK. OK.

I'M OK. THANK YOU.

OK. I'LL GET YOU.

WHAT'S GONNA
HAPPEN TO ME?

WELL, GIVEN THAT YOU
WEREN'T THE ACTUAL KILLER,

AND WHAT YOU DID DOWN THERE
FOR ME... [PANTING]

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

MM-HMM.

DO ME A FAVOR.

LEAN IN AND WHISPER
SOMETHING INTO MY EAR.

WHAT?

JUST... ANYTHING.

REMEMBER WHAT I SAID

ABOUT LOOKING FOR
DIFFERENT PARTNERS?

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

WHERE WAS IT?

I WANNA TAKE THAT BACK.

DID THEY FIND
THE VIDEOTAPE?

YES.

HOW'S HE DOIN'?

HE LOOKS OK.

BUT WE'RE GONNA
TRANSPORT HIM FOR TREATMENT.

WHY DID YOU LET RICHARD
VIDEOTAPE THE KILLING?

I MEAN,
THAT WAS REALLY STUPID.

IT'S LIKE YOU GUYS
WANTED TO GET CAUGHT.

WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

OH, YOU DON'T KNOW?

MY PARTNER JUST TOLD ME
THAT THEY FOUND

A HIDDEN CAMERA
IN RICHARD'S BASEMENT.

SEEMS THAT'S HOW HE FILMED
HIMSELF WITH LISA,

AND APPARENTLY,
HE FILMED THE KILLING, TOO.

D.A.'S LOOKING AT IT NOW.

LOOK, WHATEVER'S
ON THAT TAPE...

WHATEVER'S
ON THAT TAPE WHAT?

IS THERE REALLY
A TAPE?

MAYBE I SHOULD
TALK TO A LAWYER.

ABSOLUTELY.
TALK TO A LAWYER.

WAIT A SECOND! WAIT!

YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT
YOU WERE THE ONE

BEING MANIPULATED
BY RICHARD,

BUT IT WAS THE OTHER
WAY AROUND, WASN'T IT?

NO!

DO YOU SEE THESE MARKS
ON MY NECK?

THEY'RE FROM
RICHARD'S RING

WHEN HE TRIED
TO STRANGLE ME.

THERE ARE NONE OF THESE
MARKS ON OLIVIA'S NECK.

LOOK, RICHARD, COULD
HAVE TAKEN OFF THAT RING

AT ANY POINT TO MAKE IT
LOOK LIKE RAY DID IT.

THE RING HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH IT, JUSTIN.

YOU BETTER TELL ME RIGHT
NOW WHAT HAPPENED...

I AM!

AND I'LL DO MY BEST TO GET
YOU TRIED AS A JUVENILE.

YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME.

WHEN I WENT OVER THERE,
I HAD NO IDEA.

I NEVER THOUGHT I'D...

[MUFFLED PLEAS]

OH, GOD.

[WOMAN STRUGGLING]

ARE YOU GONNA DO IT
OR WHAT?

I--I CAN'T.

FUCK!

[WOMAN SOBBING]

SO, WHAT,
I HAVE TO DO IT?

YOU DON'T
DO ANYTHING.

YOU HAVE IDEAS.
THAT'S IT!

YOU'RE SO FULL
OF SHIT, TOO.

YOU'RE ALWAYS
TELLING ME THAT...

CRIME'S NOT AN IDEA,
RICHARD, IT'S AN ACT.

ANYBODY CAN THINK IT.
ONLY FREE MEN CAN DO IT.

I'M FREE.

[MUFFLED PLEADING]

GIVE ME THE GLOVES.

GIVE THEM TO ME.

THANK YOU.

[MUFFLED PLEAS]

I HAD TO SHOW HIM.

I COULD HAVE LET YOU DIE
UP THERE, BUT I DIDN'T.

I DIDN'T DO THAT.
THANK YOU.

PLEASE,
I JUST WANT A CHANCE.

I WANT TO START OVER.

I WANT TO START--

DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY,
JUSTIN.

YOU GET ONE LIFE.

AND WHATEVER YOU DO
WITH IT

AND WHATEVER'S
DONE TO YOU,

YOU GOTTA FACE THAT.

YOU CAN'T PRETEND
IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

Clerk: JESSICA MARIE HUDSON?

JESSICA MARIE HUDSON...

FOR THE CARL HUDSON
PAROLE HEARING.

JESSICA MARIE HUDSON.

THAT'S ME.
