Frenemies (2013–…): Season 2, Episode 5 - Holy Murder - full transcript

Narrator:
THERE IS NO STRONGER FRIENDSHIP
THAN ONE SHARED

BETWEEN TWO YOUNG MOTHERS-TO-BE.

HER EXACT WORDS WERE,

"I FEEL A SPECIAL BOND
WITH YOU."

Narrator:
BUT WHEN THAT BOND IS BROKEN,

AN UNDENIABLE EVIL
IS UNLEASHED...

THEY WERE FREAKED OUT
AND SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Narrator: ...RIPPING APART
THEIR FRIENDSHIP

AND DESTROYING THEIR LIVES.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU
DON'T THINK IT'S GONNA HAPPEN.

IT'S LIKE A NIGHTMARE.



[ SIREN WAILING ]

Narrator:
KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE
AND YOUR ENEMIES CLOSER.

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

KASSANDRA TORUGA
IS A HIGH-SCHOOL DROPOUT.

AT 18, SHE'S ALREADY HAD
MORE THAN HER SHARE OF TROUBLES.

SHE WAS A RUNAWAY AT ONE TIME.

SHE NEVER FINISHED HIGH SCHOOL.

SHE GOT PREGNANT
AND HAD TO DROP OUT.

SHE TOLD ME
THAT HER EX-BOYFRIEND

USED TO, LIKE, BEAT ON HER
AND HE HAD GOTTEN HER PREGNANT.

Narrator:
KASSANDRA HAS HAD IT ROUGH,

MOVING FROM TOWN TO TOWN
AROUND THE MARICOPA AREA

SINCE SHE LOST HER MOM
TO BREAST CANCER TWO YEARS AGO.

HER DAD LEFT HOME
WHEN SHE WAS YOUNG.



I FELT
REALLY, REALLY BAD FOR HER.

I COULDN'T IMAGINE HOW SHE FELT

BEING PREGNANT
AND HAVING HER PARENTS GONE.

Narrator: WITH NOWHERE TO LIVE,
SHE BOUNCES FROM COUCH TO COUCH,

CRASHING WITH ANYONE
WHO CAN SPARE THE SPACE.

Urgarte:
SHE NEEDED SOMEWHERE TO STAY

WHERE PEOPLE
ACTUALLY WANTED HER THERE.

Narrator:
IN THE FALL OF 2010,

SHE MOVES IN WITH
18-YEAR-OLD SEBASTIAN UGARTE.

SHE KEEPS THE HOUSE CLEAN,

SHE CLEANS THE DISHES,
DOES THE LAUNDRY.

SHE WAS JUST THANKING ME
FOR GIVING HER A PLACE TO STAY

'CAUSE UP UNTIL THEN,

IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE SHE HAD
VERY MANY FRIENDS.

Narrator: AT A HOUSE PARTY
LATER THAT FALL,

KASSANDRA MEETS HANNAH CARLSON.

I'M HANNAH.
I'M KASSANDRA.

IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU.

SHE WAS REAL BUBBLY.
SHE SEEMED REALLY COOL.

Narrator: HANNAH,
ALSO A HIGH-SCHOOL DROPOUT,

JUST HAD A BABY HERSELF.

THEY BOND IMMEDIATELY
AND BECOME GOOD FRIENDS.

KASSANDRA, SHE MADE ME FEEL
LIKE I COULD TRUST HER.

IF YOU WANT ME TO SHOW YOU
AROUND, I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY.

THAT'S REALLY NICE OF YOU.YOU'RE WELCOME.

I MEAN,
I KNOW HOW IT FEELS.

Narrator: WITH NEW FRIENDS
AND A BABY ON THE WAY,

THINGS FOR KASSANDRA
ARE STARTING TO LOOK UP.

Carlson:
KASSANDRA IS EXCITED.

SHE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THE BABY.

Narrator:
FOR THE ONCE-LONELY GIRL
TRYING TO FIT IN,

HER BABY COULD AT LAST
GIVE HER A SENSE OF BELONGING.

A FEW MONTHS LATER,
HANNAH DECIDES

TO INTRODUCE KASSANDRA,
NOW FIVE MONTHS PREGNANT,

TO HER FRIEND
18-YEAR-OLD ANGELIQUE ROBLEDO,

WHO IS ALSO EXPECTING.

Robledo:
HANNAH HAD CALLED ME AND SAID,

"HEY, I MET THIS GIRL
NAMED KASSANDRA.

I THOUGHT
YOU GUYS WOULD GET ALONG.

SHE HAS NO FRIENDS,
SHE'S NEW TO OUR TOWN."

Narrator:
THE THREE GIRLS SIT DOWN
AT THE LOCAL DINER.

AND AS ANGELIQUE
AND KASSANDRA TALK,

THE CONNECTION IS IMMEDIATE.

Robledo: AND THAT'S WHERE
I GOT TO KNOW KASSANDRA.

SHE WAS REALLY NICE.

Narrator: UNLIKE KASSANDRA,

ANGELIQUE COMES
FROM A STABLE HOME.

BUT SHE, TOO,
HAS HER SHARE OF TROUBLES.

ANGELIQUE HAS A TOUGH TIME
IN HIGH SCHOOL

AND GETS IN
WITH THE WRONG CROWD.

ANGELIQUE
STARTED PARTYING A LOT,

STARTING MISSING SCHOOL A LOT,
THERE WAS A LOT OF DRINKING.

Narrator: BEFORE LONG, ANGELIQUE
GETS SUSPENDED FOR FIGHTING

AND HER LIFE SPIRALS DOWNWARD

UNTIL SHE LEARNS SOMETHING
THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING.

I WENT TO THE BATHROOM,
TOOK MY PREGNANCY TEST.

IT POPPED UP
WITHIN FIVE SECONDS -- PREGNANT.

Narrator:
THE BABY IS A RESULT

OF A ONE-NIGHT STAND
WITH A GUY NAMED JOSH,

AND ANGELIQUE ISN'T SURE
HE WILL BE THERE TO HELP.

IT IS A LIFE-ALTERING MOMENT.

Robledo: MY WHOLE LIFE
COMPLETELY CHANGED.

I HAD TO STEP UP
AND STOP PARTYING.

Narrator: AFTER SHARING STORIES
AT THE DINER, THE GIRLS DECIDE

TO GO TO THE MALL
TO SHOP FOR THEIR BABIES.

WE WOULD WALK
THROUGH, LIKE, THE WHOLE STORE

TALKING ABOUT PREGNANCIES

AND TALKING ABOUT
EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING.

WE ALL TALKED ABOUT, LIKE,
"OH, THIS IS SO CUTE,"

OR HOW NICE IT WOULD BE
TO HAVE A $400 CRIB.

KASSANDRA IS JUST LIKE
ONE OF THE GIRLS.

I COULD DEFINITELY SEE MYSELF
BEING A FRIEND WITH HER.

Narrator: AS THE DAY ENDS,

MOMS-TO-BE
ANGELIQUE AND KASSANDRA

PROMISE TO KEEP IN TOUCH.

BUT THE GIRLS HAVE NO IDEA
THAT THE JOYS OF MOTHERHOOD

WILL SOON BE SHATTERED
BY UNIMAGINABLE EVIL.

ANGELIQUE AND KASSANDRA SHARE
THEIR MOTHER-TO-BE EXPERIENCES

AND GET CLOSER AND CLOSER.

SHE ADDED ME ON FACEBOOK.

SHE LIKED ALL MY PICTURES,
I MIGHT HAVE LIKED HERS.

Narrator: KASSANDRA
POSTS ULTRASOUND PHOTOS

AND COMMENTS
ON HER BABY'S EVERY MOVEMENT.

SHE JUST MADE COMMENTS LIKE,

"YEAH, I'M THIS MANY WEEKS
OR THIS MANY MONTHS."

I WOULD TAKE PICTURES
OF MY BELLY OR MY ULTRASOUND.

IT WAS JUST
THE CUTEST THING EVER.

LIKE MAKING
BABY-NAME LISTS.

Narrator: AS THE WEEKS PASS,
ANGELIQUE AND HER FRIENDS

NOTICE THAT KASSANDRA SEEMS
FIXATED ON HER PREGNANCY

AND TALKS ABOUT NOTHING ELSE.

I WANT IT TO HURRY UP
BECAUSE I JUST WANT TO, LIKE --

I CAN'T WAIT
TO HOLD THE BABY.

Urgarte:
I WAS THINKING, "OH, MAN."

SHE REALLY WANTED A BABY --
LIKE CRAZILY WANTED A BABY.

SHE WAS OBSESSED
WITH HAVING BABIES.

IT JUST GOT TO A POINT
WHERE IT WAS ALMOST OVERBEARING.

SO, HAVE YOU BEEN FEELING
THE BABY, LIKE, KICK?

Narrator:
KASSANDRA IS ALSO FASCINATED
WITH ANGELIQUE AND HER BABY,

SO MUCH SO THAT ANGELIQUE

STARTS PULLING BACK
FROM HER NEW FRIEND.

Robledo:
SHE WAS KIND OF ANNOYING.

IT SEEMED LIKE
SHE WANTED THE ATTENTION.

Narrator:
BUT NEITHER OF THE PREGNANT
TEENS COULD EVER PREDICT

THAT THEIR DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE
WOULD GO UP IN FLAMES.

I STARTED GETTING
REALLY, REALLY NERVOUS.

SHE THOUGHT, "OKAY,
I HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE

BECAUSE THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS
TO MY BABY."

Narrator: KASSANDRA'S OBSESSION
WITH HER PREGNANCY

IS GETTING ON HER FRIEND
ANGELIQUE'S NERVES.

EVEN THEIR MUTUAL FRIENDS NOTICE

THAT BABIES
ARE ALL KASSANDRA TALKS ABOUT.

AND IT WAS CONSTANTLY, LIKE,
"BABY, BABY, BABY."

"THIS IS WHAT HE OR SHE
IS GONNA SLEEP IN.

AND IF IT'S A BOY, THIS IS WHAT
I'M GONNA NAME HIM."

Narrator: FRIENDS WONDER
IF KASSANDRA IS SO EXCITED

BECAUSE SHE SUFFERED
A MISCARRIAGE NOT LONG AGO.

SHE MENTIONED LOSING A BABY
WITH HER EX-BOYFRIEND.

Narrator: BUT SOME
OF HER EXCITEMENT IS DIMMED

BY PROBLEMS SHE'S HAVING
WITH THE BABY'S FATHER, EDWIN.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY YOU CAN'T JUST TEXT ME BACK.

ANGELIQUE CAN RELATE

TO KASSANDRA'S SITUATION
WITH EDWIN.

SHE IS ALSO HAVING ISSUES
WITH HER BABY'S FATHER, JOSH.

ME AND HIM GOT TOGETHER
AND HAD A ONE-NIGHT THING.

THAT'S HOW I GOT PREGNANT.

AND THEN WE NEVER TALKED
AFTER THAT.

SO THEN I'M CALLING HIM
SIX WEEKS LATER,

AND I'M LIKE,
"OKAY, I'M PREGNANT."

HE WAS DEFINITELY A LITTLE LIKE,
"WHAT DO I DO?"

HE WAS JUST KIND OF LOST
AT THE TIME.

Turner: THEY BOTH WERE FIGHTING
WITH THEIR BOYFRIENDS

AND THE BOYFRIENDS WEREN'T DOING
WHAT THEY WANTED THEM TO DO.

SO THEY WERE
KIND OF BONDING THROUGH THAT.

HE NEVER, EVER TEXTS ME.

JOSH DOESN'T EVEN
CALL ME BACK.

Narrator:
DESPITE THE WAVERING SUPPORT
OF THE FATHERS-TO-BE,

THE GIRLFRIENDS CONTINUE
TO FOCUS ON THEIR BABIES.

Turner: THEY WERE COMMUNICATING
WITH EACH OTHER

THROUGH TEXT
OR CELLPHONE CONVERSATIONS.

Narrator:
THEN ONE DAY, KASSANDRA STARTS
A GRAPHIC CONVERSATION

THAT ANGELIQUE FINDS
VERY UNSETTLING.

SHE WAS SCARED
THAT SHE MIGHT NEED A C-SECTION.

DO YOU KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT THEM?

HOPEFULLY EVERYTHING GOES OKAY
AND I WON'T NEED A C-SECTION.

WE TALKED ABOUT HOW IF ANYTHING
WERE TO HAPPEN --

YOU KNOW, IF WE WERE TO GO
INTO LABOR RIGHT THEN AND THERE

AND WE HAD TO HAVE A C-SECTION,

LIKE, WE'D HAVE TO BE CUT OPEN
RIGHT THERE.

IT WAS
A VERY STRANGE CONVERSATION

FOR TWO YOUNG WOMEN
TO BE HAVING.

Narrator: FED UP
WITH KASSANDRA'S FIXATIONS,

ANGELIQUE BEGINS
TO DISTANCE HERSELF.

IN JANUARY, 2011,

KASSANDRA KEEPS PUTTING PRESSURE
ON ANGELIQUE TO GET TOGETHER.

ANGELIQUE IS NEARLY
NINE MONTHS ALONG NOW

AND KASSANDRA
IS SEVEN MONTHS' PREGNANT.

KASSANDRA
BASICALLY COURTED ANGELIQUE

TO TRY TO GET HER TO HANG OUT
WITH HER MORE AND MORE.

BUT I CAN COME OVER.

Narrator: BUT WITH HER DUE DATE
JUST WEEKS AWAY,

ANGELIQUE DOESN'T FEEL
LIKE LEAVING HER HOUSE.

PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY,
I WAS A WRECK.

SHE WOULD TRY
TO BRIBE ME TO COME OVER.

SHE EVEN OFFERED
TO BAKE ME COOKIES

AND MAKE ME MY FAVORITE DISH.

I FELT REALLY BAD
ABOUT BLOWING HER OFF.

Narrator: KASSANDRA IS UPSET
THAT ANGELIQUE

DOESN'T FEEL LIKE HANGING OUT,
ESPECIALLY SINCE

THINGS AT SEBASTIAN'S HOUSE
ARE GETTING TENSE.

KASSANDRA HAS BEEN STAYING
AT SEBASTIAN'S FOR WEEKS.

BUT IN FEBRUARY, 2011,

SHE STARTS
TO WEAR OUT HER WELCOME.

THE HOUSE
STILL LOOKED LIKE CRAP.

AND I'M LIKE, "HEY, ARE YOU
GONNA, LIKE, CLEAN UP

OR, LIKE, WHAT'S THE DEAL?"

AND SHE'S LIKE, "I DON'T NEED
TO CLEAN UP YOUR GUYS' MESS."

AND I'M LIKE, "HOLD ON.
WE ALL PAY BILLS HERE.

WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING?"

Narrator: WITH DIRTY DISHES
AND CLOTHES PILING UP,

KASSANDRA IS NO LONGER
CONTRIBUTING TO THE HOUSEHOLD.

SHE'S JUST USING ME.
SHE'S JUST SQUATTING.

SHE DOESN'T WANT TO PAY A BILL.

SO I JUST KIND OF
GOT FED UP WITH IT.

Narrator: DESPITE THE FACT
THAT SHE'S PREGNANT,

SEBASTIAN KICKS HER OUT.

WHAT?! I'M NOT LEAVING.YOU'RE NOT DOING YOUR PART.

SO I START THROWING
ALL HER STUFF DOWN THE STAIRS.

SEE YOUR SHOES?
PUT THEM ON.

GIVE ME MY SHOES!ALL RIGHT, THEN GO.

SHE STORMS OUT
WITHOUT HER STUFF.

Narrator:
SEVEN MONTHS PREGNANT,

KASSANDRA IS BACK ON THE STREET
WITH NOWHERE TO GO.

SHE NEEDS ANGELIQUE
MORE THAN EVER.

BUT AT ONE MONTH AWAY
FROM DELIVERY,

ANGELIQUE HAS NO ROOM
FOR HER NEEDY, OBSESSIVE FRIEND.

HER REJECTION SETS IN MOTION
A SHOCKING CHAIN OF EVENTS

AND A TERRIFYING BETRAYAL.

I JUST START
HYSTERICALLY CRYING.

IT'S VERY HARD TO IMAGINE
THAT ONE FRIEND

WOULD DO THAT TO ANOTHER FRIEND.

Narrator:
KASSANDRA WAS KICKED OUT
OF SEBASTIAN'S HOUSE

JUST TWO MONTHS
BEFORE HER DELIVERY DATE

AND IMMEDIATELY TELLS
HER GOOD FRIEND ANGELIQUE

SHE HAS NOWHERE TO GO.

I FELT
REALLY, REALLY SORRY FOR HER.

I REALLY WANTED TO BE THERE
FOR HER BECAUSE SHE HAD NOBODY.

Narrator: BUT ANGELIQUE,
WHO LIVES WITH HER MOTHER,

TELLS HER FRIEND
THEY HAVE NO ROOM.

SO IN FEBRUARY, 2001,

KASSANDRA ENDS UP ALONE
AT HER ESTRANGED SISTER'S HOUSE.

KASSANDRA HAD A SISTER
THAT LIVED IN MARICOPA,

AND SHE WAS OFTEN HOUSE SITTING.

Narrator: BUT KASSANDRA
IS STILL REACHING OUT

TO HER FRIEND ANGELIQUE
FOR SUPPORT.

SHE INVITED ME OVER A COUPLE
TIMES TO COME OVER AND HANG OUT.

I JUST COULDN'T FIND THE ENERGY
TO GET UP AND DO SOMETHING.

I KNOW, BUT I HAVE
SOME PRESENTS FOR YOU

THAT I REALLY WANT
TO GIVE TO YOU.

KASSANDRA WANTED TO GIVE HER
SOME BABY PRESENTS.

Narrator:
AND AFTER CONTINUOUS PRODDING,
ANGELIQUE GIVES IN

AND INVITED KASSANDRA
OVER TO HER HOUSE.

ALL RIGHT, BYE.

HOW ARE YOU?GOOD. HOW ARE YOU?

Narrator:
ON THE MORNING OF FEBRUARY 16th,

KASSANDRA IS EXCITED
TO SEE HER VERY PREGNANT FRIEND.

CAN I TAKE YOUR BAGS?

NO, I'M OKAY. THANKS.

Narrator:
ANGELIQUE'S MOM, CELESTE,
IS ALSO HOME,

AND THE THREE OF THEM
SPEND THE MORNING TOGETHER.

SOON, THE TALK TURNS
TO THEIR BABIES

AND EACH GIRL'S WEIGHT GAIN
IN THEIR THIRD TRIMESTER.

SHE WAS SEVEN MONTHS PREGNANT.
SHE DIDN'T LOOK LIKE IT AT ALL.

I WAS, LIKE, REALLY BIG.

SHE HAD A LITTLE POUCH,
BUT KASSANDRA WAS VERY SKINNY.

I CAN'T WAIT TO GET HUGE.

YOU SAY THAT NOW.

Narrator: AS THE MORNING
TURNS INTO AFTERNOON,

THE CONVERSATION
BECOMES STRAINED

WHEN KASSANDRA BRINGS UP
THE C-SECTION PROCEDURE AGAIN.

BUT KASSANDRA SAYS,
"WHAT IF YOU WEREN'T ABLE

TO MAKE IT
TO THE HOSPITAL RIGHT AWAY?

ALL I KNOW IS THEY CUT YOU
AND THEY PULL THE BABY OUT."

THEIR MOM WAS GIVING THEM
INFORMATION ON C-SECTIONS.

ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WAS,
"WHICH WAY DO THEY CUT?

DO THEY CUT STRAIGHT ACROSS
OR DO THEY CUT UP AND DOWN?"

SHE ACTUALLY STOOD UP AND MADE
MY MOM SHOW HER EXACTLY WHERE.

HORIZONTAL.BELOW THE BELLY BUTTON?

Narrator:
ON THE VERGE OF GIVING BIRTH,

ANGELIQUE FINDS
THE CONVERSATION DISTURBING

AND THINKS KASSANDRA
IS JUST AS OBSESSED

WITH C-SECTIONS
AS SHE IS WITH BABIES.

SHE ASKED MY MOM, "WHAT IF
THE BABY'S NOT BREATHING?

WHAT DO THEY DO?"

IT WAS KIND OF WEIRD BECAUSE
SHE REALLY WANTED TO KNOW.

Narrator:
CELESTE TRIES TO ANSWER
KASSANDRA'S IN-DEPTH QUESTIONS,

BUT ANGELIQUE HAS HEARD ENOUGH
AND WANTS HER TO LEAVE.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
I AM SO TIRED.

I TRIED TO GET HER TO LEAVE AND
SHE GOT KIND OF HURT ABOUT IT.

Narrator:
BUT KASSANDRA INSISTS

ON GIVING ANGELIQUE
HER BABY PRESENTS FIRST.

WAIT.
NO, NO, NO.

THE ONLY REASON I CAME OVER
IS I GOT YOUR PRESENTS.

WE WERE SITTING IN MY KITCHEN

AND SHE SAYS
SHE HAS GIFTS FOR ME.

Narrator: BUT ANGELIQUE IS IN
FOR QUITE A SURPRISE

AS KASSANDRA DELIVERS MORE THAN
SHE COULD HAVE EVER PREDICTED.

THE PLAN WAS VERY EVIL
AND VERY VICIOUS.

THEY WERE BOTH
GOING TO THE HOSPITAL.

I THOUGHT SHE WAS
SOMEONE I COULD TRUST!

Narrator: IN FEBRUARY, 2011,
JUST DAYS BEFORE HER DUE DATE,

ANGELIQUE INVITES KASSANDRA
TO COME OVER

FOR LUNCH AND SOME GIRL TALK.

KASSANDRA BRINGS PRESENTS
FOR HER VERY PREGNANT FRIEND

AND ONE BY ONE
STARTS GIVING THEM TO HER.

OH, THANK YOU, KASSANDRA.
THAT'S REALLY SWEET.

Robledo:
BABY ITEMS LIKE BOOTIES,
RECEIVING BLANKETS.

THERE WAS ONE NEWBORN ONESIE.

OH,
THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.

IT'S SO CUTE!

Narrator:
AFTER OPENING PRESENTS,
ANGELIQUE'S MOM LEAVES.

ONCE THE GIRLS ARE ALONE,

KASSANDRA SAYS
SHE STILL HAS ONE MORE GIFT.

REALLY SPECIAL
AND I WANT TO GIVE IT TO YOU.

[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]OH, WAIT.

AH, IT'S EDWIN.

BEFORE SHE GIVES ANGELIQUE
THE LAST PRESENT,

KASSANDRA IS INTERRUPTED

BY A CALL
FROM HER BOYFRIEND, EDWIN.

WHEN KASSANDRA RETURNS,
SHE TELLS ANGELIQUE

THAT EDWIN
IS TAKING HER OUT THAT NIGHT

AND ASKS TO BORROW AN OUTFIT.

I DON'T HAVE
ANYTHING TO WEAR.

SHE SAID,
"I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR

AND [SIGHS]
I JUST WANT TO LOOK GOOD."

AND I WAS LIKE, "WELL, YOU KNOW,

YOU CAN LOOK
THROUGH MY CLOSET IF YOU WANT."

OOH, I LIKE THIS.

SO WE GO INTO MY ROOM

AND SHE STARTS
LOOKING THROUGH THE CLOTHES.

Narrator:
THEN KASSANDRA TELLS ANGELIQUE

SHE IS READY
TO GIVE HER THE LAST GIFT.

SHE'S LIKE, "OKAY, TURN AROUND
AND CLOSE YOUR EYES."

WHY DO I
HAVE TO TURN AROUND?

'CAUSE IT'S SPECIAL.

OKAY.

SHE TURNS THE LIGHT OFF.

SHE WAS LIKE, "I REALLY WANT
IT TO BE A SURPRISE."

SO, I STAND THERE
AND I'M TURNED AROUND.

KASSANDRA?

KASSANDRA?

AND SHE KIND OF GOES,
"ONE...TWO..."

RIGHT BEFORE SHE SAID THREE,
I TURNED AROUND.

ARE YOU GONNA
SHOW IT TO ME ALREADY?

Narrator:
ANGELIQUE SEES A GLINT OF STEEL
IN KASSANDRA'S HAND

AND STARTS TO FEEL UNEASY.

THAT'S WHEN I GOT, LIKE CHILLS.
I WAS JUST LIKE, "WHOA."

WHAT WAS THAT?

AND SHE GOT STARTLED.

AND SHE WAS PUTTING SOMETHING
BACK INTO HER BAG.

AND I WAS LIKE,
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

WELL, I WOULD SHOW IT TO YOU
IF YOU WOULD TURN AROUND

AND I'D GIVE YOU YOUR PRESENT.LET ME SEE IT.

[ CELLPHONE RINGING ]HOLD ON.

Narrator: KASSANDRA
GETS ANOTHER PHONE CALL,

AND ANGELIQUE
IS NOW ANGRY AND FLUSTERED

BY HER FRIEND'S BIZARRE BEHAVIOR
AND WONDERS WHAT'S IN THE BAG.

I'M CALMING MYSELF DOWN
BY TELLING MYSELF

THAT I'M THE ONE
THAT'S PANICKING.

Narrator:
ANGELIQUE SEES THAT KASSANDRA
NOW HAS HER DRESS ON,

BUT NOTICES
SHE IS PACING BACK AND FORTH

AND SEEMS OUT OF SORTS.

AT THIS POINT,
I SERIOUSLY THINK I'M LOSING IT.

LIKE, COMPLETELY LOSING IT.

Narrator:
WONDERING WHAT'S GOING ON,

ANGELIQUE SUDDENLY
OPENS THE DOOR.

WHAT'S THAT SMELL?

SHE SMELLS SMOKE.

IT SMELLS
LIKE SOMETHING'S BURNING.

Turner:
THE ODOR GOT STRONGER,

SO FINALLY THAT'S WHEN
THEY OPENED THE CLOSET

AND THEN THEY SAW THE FIRE.

OH, MY GOD!
[ COUGHS ]

Robledo: EVERYTHING'S IN FLAMES.
MY WHOLE CLOSET'S ON FIRE.

ALL MY CLOTHES ARE JUST BURNT.

WHAT DO WE DO?!
WHAT DO WE DO?!

Narrator: HEAT AND SMOKE
START FILLING THE BEDROOM.

[ COUGHS ]
COME ON, KASSANDRA!

ANGELIQUE RAN TO THE KITCHEN.

SHE GRABBED HER PHONE.
SHE CALLED 911.

HELLO. WE HAVE A FIRE.
PLEASE HURRY.

Narrator:
ANGELIQUE IMMEDIATELY TRIES
TO DOUSE THE FLAMES.

KASSANDRA, GRAB A POT.

I'M RUNNING BACK AND FORTH,
NINE MONTHS PREGNANT,

WADDLING AROUND
WITH BIG JUGS OF WATER

AND I'M THE ONLY ONE
THAT'S DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

WAKE UP!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!

I'M SCREAMING ON TOP
OF MY LUNGS, LIKE, "OH, MY GOSH!

A FIRE!"
I'M LIKE, "HELP! HELP! HELP!"

WAKE UP, KASSANDRA!

Narrator:
KASSANDRA SUDDENLY TAKES OFF

RUNNING BAREFOOT
DOWN THE STREET.

ANGELIQUE FOLLOWS HER OUTSIDE
AND IS MET

BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT,
POLICE OFFICERS, AND HER MOM.

MY FRIEND AND I...

FIREFIGHTERS
QUICKLY CONTAIN THE BLAZE.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
HAS SOME SUSPICIOUS THOUGHTS

OF HOW THE FIRE WAS STARTED.

Narrator:
ANGELIQUE TELLS FIREFIGHTERS

ABOUT KASSANDRA'S
BIZARRE BEHAVIOR

AND TELLS THEM SHE THINKS

KASSANDRA MUST HAVE
SET THE FIRE.

I START ASKING MYSELF,
HOW CAN A FRIEND HURT ME?

WHEN ANGELIQUE GOES BACK INSIDE
TO CHECK OUT THE DAMAGE,

SHE NOTICES KASSANDRA'S
LEFT HER DIAPER BAG BEHIND.

I OPENED THE DIAPER BAG
AND I PUT MY HAND IN THERE

AND I PULL OUT
TWO BUTCHER KNIVES.

AND I DROPPED THE BUTCHER KNIVES
ON THE COUNTER

AND I JUST START SCREAMING.

I JUST HAD THIS WEIRD FEELING
THAT SHE WAS TRYING TO STAB ME.

Narrator:
ANGELIQUE ALSO FINDS

SCISSORS, GLOVES,
AND DISINFECTANT IN THE BAG.

SHE'S TERRIFIED
AND IMMEDIATELY TELLS POLICE.

INVESTIGATORS TRACK
KASSANDRA DOWN AND QUESTION HER.

AT FIRST, SHE DENIES EVERYTHING.

Toruga:
I DIDN'T DO NOTHING.

YOU WANT THE TRUTH.

YOU WANT THE TRUTH,
SO I'M TELLING YOU THE TRUTH.

Narrator:
BUT FINALLY KASSANDRA CRUMBLES

AND ADMITS
SHE WAS NEVER EVEN PREGNANT

BUT WANTED A BABY SO BADLY
THAT SHE BEFRIENDED ANGELIQUE

AS PART OF A TWISTED
AND DEADLY PLAN.

SHE BROUGHT THE KNIVES
BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO USE THEM

TO PERFORM A C-SECTION PROCEDURE
ON ANGELIQUE AND TAKE THE BABY.

THAT WAS HER INTENTIONS --
TO KILL HER

AND TO CUT THAT BABY OUT OF HER
AND TAKE THE BABY AS HER OWN.

Toruga:
I WAS JUST GONNA STAB HER,

STAB HER A FEW TIMES
AND THAT'S IT.

AND HOPING, LIKE,
I COULD TAKE THE BABY.

I DIDN'T WANT TO KILL, BUT IF
THAT'S WHAT IT WAS GONNA TAKE,

LIKE, I GUESS
I WAS GONNA HAVE TO.

Narrator: FOR ANGELIQUE,
NOW IT ALL MAKES SENSE.

ALL THE TALK OF C-SECTIONS,

KASSANDRA'S OBSESSION
WITH THEIR BABIES,

AND THE SILVER OBJECT ANGELIQUE
SAW KASSANDRA PUT INTO HER BAG

WERE ALL LEADING UP
TO HER DIABOLICAL PLAN.

BUT KASSANDRA TELLS POLICE

SHE COULDN'T BRING HERSELF
TO GO THROUGH WITH IT

SO SHE SET THE FIRE

HOPING ANGELIQUE WOULD BE
OVERCOME BY SMOKE.

[ COUGHING ]

AFTER ANGELIQUE WAS UNCONSCIOUS,
SHE COULD HAVE PUT THE FIRE OUT

AND THEN TAKEN HER BABY
AT THAT TIME.

AND IT ALL STARTS TO HIT ME,
LIKE, BASICALLY FROM DAY ONE,

SHE KIND OF MADE IT KNOWN

THAT SHE WANTED TO SETTLE DOWN,
HAVE A BABY.

I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW OBSESSED
WITH IT SHE WAS.

I WAS SHOCKED.

Narrator:
KASSANDRA IS ARRESTED AND PLEADS
GUILTY TO ARSON CHARGES.

BUT SHE IS RULED LEGALLY INSANE
AND IS SENTENCED

TO SEVEN AND A HALF YEARS
IN A STATE MENTAL FACILITY.

BOO!

[ BABY GIGGLES ]

DESPITE HER HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE,

ANGELIQUE
HAS A HEALTHY BABY BOY.

SHE IS SO THANKFUL
THAT SHE AND RYLAND, NOW 2,

ARE BOTH DOING WELL.

IF I WOULDN'T HAVE
TURNED AROUND, SHE
WOULD HAVE STABBED ME.

WHERE WOULD MY SON BE?

HOW COULD SOMEBODY WHO LOOKED
COMPLETELY NORMAL, ACTED NORMAL,

DRESSED NORMAL,
SEEMED LIKE SHE WOULD

POTENTIALLY BE A GOOD FRIEND
SNAP JUST LIKE THAT?

SHE BETRAYED ME.
HOW CAN A FRIEND HURT ME?

HOW COULD SOMEBODY THAT I KNOW
AND TRUST DO THAT TO ME?

A FRIEND WOULD NEVER
DO THIS TO YOU.

THERE'S NO POSSIBLE WAY.
