1. This is a true story.
Copy !req
2. It happened right here
in my town two years ago.
Copy !req
3. A lot of people die
in a lot of really weird ways
Copy !req
4. in this story,
Copy !req
5. but you're not gonna find it
in the news
Copy !req
6. or anywhere like that
Copy !req
7. because the police and
the top people in this town
Copy !req
8. were, like, so embarrassed
Copy !req
9. that they weren't able
to solve it
Copy !req
10. that they covered everything
all up.
Copy !req
11. But if you come here
and ask anyone,
Copy !req
12. they'll all tell you
the same thing
Copy !req
13. that I'm gonna tell you now.
Copy !req
14. This story starts
in my school.
Copy !req
15. Maybrook Elementary
Copy !req
16. is kindergarten
through fifth grade.
Copy !req
17. So this one Wednesday
Copy !req
18. is like a normal day
for the whole school.
Copy !req
19. And they had this teacher
who was new.
Copy !req
20. Her name was Justine Gandy.
Copy !req
21. And on this day,
she was going to her classroom
Copy !req
22. just like every morning.
Copy !req
23. But today was different.
Copy !req
24. Today, none of her kids
were there.
Copy !req
25. Every other class at that
school had all their kids.
Copy !req
26. Even the other third grade
Mrs. Belt taught was full.
Copy !req
27. But Mrs. Gandy's room
was totally empty.
Copy !req
28. Well, not totally.
Copy !req
29. There was one boy there.
Copy !req
30. And his name was Alex Lilly.
Copy !req
31. And he was the only kid
in the class of 18
Copy !req
32. that came to school that day.
Copy !req
33. And do you know why?
Copy !req
34. He was the only one there
Copy !req
35. because the night before
at 2:17 in the morning,
Copy !req
36. every other kid woke up,
Copy !req
37. got out of bed,
Copy !req
38. walked downstairs,
Copy !req
39. opened the front door,
Copy !req
40. walked across the front yard
and into the dark.
Copy !req
41. And they never came back.
Copy !req
42. All the parents
and people at the school
Copy !req
43. were really sad and upset.
Copy !req
44. The police could tell
that the kids left at 2:17
Copy !req
45. because, like, half the houses
had alarms
Copy !req
46. that got tripped
when they walked outside.
Copy !req
47. Some of the kids
even got videoed
Copy !req
48. by the houses
that had cameras.
Copy !req
49. But the cameras
only showed the kids
Copy !req
50. walking out into the darkness.
Copy !req
51. They didn't show
where they went after that.
Copy !req
52. The police talked
to Alex a lot.
Copy !req
53. They asked him why his
classmates did what they did,
Copy !req
54. but he told them
he didn't know.
Copy !req
55. They asked him
if there was a plan,
Copy !req
56. but he said if there was,
he never heard it.
Copy !req
57. They asked him
if there was a TV show
Copy !req
58. where someone ran away
like that,
Copy !req
59. but he said if there was,
he never saw it.
Copy !req
60. They also talked to Mrs. Gandy
a whole bunch,
Copy !req
61. but she also
didn't know anything
Copy !req
62. and couldn't help them.
Copy !req
63. For almost a whole month,
Copy !req
64. they kept the school closed
for their big investigation.
Copy !req
65. But after a while, they had to
open everything back up,
Copy !req
66. so that the kids that didn't
disappear could learn again.
Copy !req
67. One night before they did,
Copy !req
68. they had a big meeting
at the school.
Copy !req
69. There was a bunch
of counselors
Copy !req
70. and people like that
Copy !req
71. to help everybody figure out
how to feel
Copy !req
72. and be sad together, I guess.
Copy !req
73. This is where the story
really starts.
Copy !req
74. What's important is
that we don't judge our grief.
Copy !req
75. We might experience emotions
we don't like.
Copy !req
76. Emotions besides sadness.
Copy !req
77. We need to make sure
that we allow ourselves
Copy !req
78. to feel emotions like anger.
Copy !req
79. Anger is a very healthy part
of the grief cycle.
Copy !req
80. It can be especially powerful
in instances of abandonment.
Copy !req
81. Now, there are often times
that we...
Copy !req
82. What does that mean?
Copy !req
83. "Especially powerful
in instances of abandonment"?
Copy !req
84. Are you saying that we should
be upset with Matthew?
Copy !req
85. I'm saying it wouldn't
be abnormal...
Copy !req
86. I'll tell you right now
Copy !req
87. that you may call
what happened "abandonment,"
Copy !req
88. but I don't.
I don't see it like that.
Copy !req
89. I see something that doesn't
make any sense at all.
Copy !req
90. We're talking about 17 kids
in one classroom.
Copy !req
91. What happened
in that classroom?
Copy !req
92. Why just her classroom?
Why only hers?
Copy !req
93. Yeah!
Copy !req
94. Look, I'm
picking up a lot of emotion,
Copy !req
95. and that's fine.
Copy !req
96. So you'll
forgive me if I'm not
Copy !req
97. particularly interested in
hearing any more out of you.
Copy !req
98. I wanna hear
from Justine Gandy.
Copy !req
99. Yeah.
Copy !req
100. She's here.
I wanna know exactly
Copy !req
101. what she was doing in there.
Copy !req
102. Uh...
Copy !req
103. I've...
Copy !req
104. First...
Copy !req
105. I just wanna say
how very sorry I am for...
Copy !req
106. all of what's happened.
Copy !req
107. I know there's nothing
I can say to make this better.
Copy !req
108. The truth is,
is that I want an answer
Copy !req
109. just as bad as all of you.
Copy !req
110. - Finally. Liar!
- That bitch.
Copy !req
111. I love those kids.
Copy !req
112. And...
Copy !req
113. I... I know...
Copy !req
114. We know you know
exactly what's going on.
Copy !req
115. I know... I know it's...
it's not...
Copy !req
116. She should be locked up until
she tells us what happened!
Copy !req
117. Okay, now that kind of thing
is really not called for.
Copy !req
118. I'm serious.
Copy !req
119. Mrs. Gandy is here
Copy !req
120. as an affected member
of this community,
Copy !req
121. and she is hurting
just like all of us.
Copy !req
122. You're either
negligent or complicit!
Copy !req
123. Where are
our children, Mrs. Gandy?
Copy !req
124. That's enough. Everybody needs
to give us some space.
Copy !req
125. Please. Please.
It's been a long, long night.
Copy !req
126. We need to get some sleep,
Copy !req
127. wake up tomorrow
with clearer heads.
Copy !req
128. Do you have anyone
you can stay with tonight?
Copy !req
129. - Mm-mmm.
- Then I recommend you going
Copy !req
130. straight home and laying low.
Copy !req
131. This feels like
it could turn in...
Copy !req
132. Excuse me, ma'am,
I'm saving up for a bus ticket
Copy !req
133. to see my brother. Do you have
any change on you at all?
Copy !req
134. No, I'm sorry. Sorry.
Copy !req
135. Hello?
Copy !req
136. Hello?
Copy !req
137. - Who is this?
- You better watch your back
Copy !req
138. because tonight's the
night that I...
Copy !req
139. Excuse me, miss,
I'm saving up for a bus ticket
Copy !req
140. to see my brother.
Do you have any change?
Copy !req
141. - No, sorry.
- Okay, thank you.
Copy !req
142. Anything the user does,
ZipString follows.
Copy !req
143. The string flies
at around 35 miles per hour,
Copy !req
144. and yet is safe to the touch.
Copy !req
145. All right, Sharks, watch this
trick. It's called the swirl.
Copy !req
146. This one's the corkscrew.
Copy !req
147. This one's the step-through.
Copy !req
148. And pop!
Copy !req
149. Presenting the portal!
Copy !req
150. ZipString glides...
Copy !req
151. Hello?
Copy !req
152. Hello?
Copy !req
153. Yes?
Copy !req
154. Jesus! Fucking what?
Copy !req
155. Who's there?
Copy !req
156. Hello?
Copy !req
157. Fuck!
Copy !req
158. You're gonna keep
your health insurance,
Copy !req
159. and if you don't
mind me saying,
Copy !req
160. there's a lot of mental health
specialists on the plan.
Copy !req
161. Some of them are...
Copy !req
162. I, uh...
I just need to work, you know?
Copy !req
163. I just need to fill my days
with, uh...
Copy !req
164. Yeah, I... I need to work.
So...
Copy !req
165. Justine, the scene last night
was just proof
Copy !req
166. that we have a lot
of emotional parents here.
Copy !req
167. For now, I think it's best
Copy !req
168. if you keep some distance
from this place
Copy !req
169. until folks find time
to sort themselves out.
Copy !req
170. How's Alex? Is he...
Copy !req
171. Alex is doing well.
Copy !req
172. He's in Mrs. Belt's class,
and we've been advised
Copy !req
173. that the best thing
that we can do for him
Copy !req
174. is keep him on a routine.
Copy !req
175. Keep his life as normal
as possible.
Copy !req
176. I would like to speak
with him.
Copy !req
177. We've had this
conversation before.
Copy !req
178. That's out of the question.
Copy !req
179. Well, I would...
I would feel so much better
Copy !req
180. if I could just
speak with him.
Copy !req
181. - Right there.
- What?
Copy !req
182. That's the problem.
You'd feel so much better.
Copy !req
183. He's been scrutinized
by the press.
Copy !req
184. He's had investigators
ransack his house.
Copy !req
185. He's been traumatized.
Copy !req
186. Let's try and put Alex
first, yes?
Copy !req
187. If you're implying
that I don't care
Copy !req
188. about Alex, or the students...
Copy !req
189. The issue isn't you caring
or not caring.
Copy !req
190. The issue here is,
you have a pattern
Copy !req
191. in which you overstep
professional lines
Copy !req
192. - with the students.
- Oh, my God. Here we go.
Copy !req
193. You know, I do not overstep.
Copy !req
194. You know it's not appropriate
to hug students.
Copy !req
195. Oh, I hugged a crying
little boy. Lock me up.
Copy !req
196. You know driving students home
is not professional.
Copy !req
197. What? She missed the bus.
She lived close to me.
Copy !req
198. - It's not appropriate.
- What...
Copy !req
199. I know all of this
Copy !req
200. comes from the fact
that you care.
Copy !req
201. I know that you aren't
a threat to these kids,
Copy !req
202. but you have to realize,
Copy !req
203. you aren't a parent,
you're a teacher.
Copy !req
204. There's a difference.
Copy !req
205. And for that reason, no,
you cannot talk to Alex Lilly.
Copy !req
206. It's just...
Copy !req
207. We're the only ones left.
Copy !req
208. - No way.
- Look, look, look.
Copy !req
209. Yeah, it's really
on there, huh?
Copy !req
210. Yeah, I've been
receiving phone calls as well.
Copy !req
211. - Threatening ones.
- Oh, yeah?
Copy !req
212. Think the caller might be
responsible for this?
Copy !req
213. I-I don't know.
Maybe, maybe not.
Copy !req
214. Yeah, well...
Copy !req
215. Whoever it was, the best
we can do is file a report.
Copy !req
216. Probably kids did this,
if you ask me.
Copy !req
217. I mean...
Copy !req
218. hell, I used to do
stuff like this
Copy !req
219. when I was in school.
Copy !req
220. You know, TP houses,
ding-dong ditch.
Copy !req
221. I never wrote "witch"
on a car before,
Copy !req
222. but a buddy of mine
smeared some of his own...
Copy !req
223. Hey!
Copy !req
224. Can we hug?
Copy !req
225. Yeah, of course we can hug.
Jesus.
Copy !req
226. What happened
to your hand there?
Copy !req
227. Oh, it was just a stupid
work accident thing.
Copy !req
228. - Nothing.
- Drink?
Copy !req
229. - Sure.
- Uh, Tony?
Copy !req
230. Tony?
Copy !req
231. Yeah, he'll...
he'll be here in a sec.
Copy !req
232. - That's fine.
- So...
Copy !req
233. - Yeah.
- I'm not in a rush.
Copy !req
234. Um...
Copy !req
235. Wow. So I...
I didn't expect you to come.
Copy !req
236. I'm glad you texted. I...
Copy !req
237. You know, I've been thinking
about you a lot, and, uh...
Copy !req
238. I wanted to call,
Copy !req
239. but I didn't know if that
would make things worse or...
Copy !req
240. - I don't know what's...
- Yeah, well,
Copy !req
241. I'm not some
little delicate flower
Copy !req
242. that would wilt if I saw your
name pop up on my phone.
Copy !req
243. - I know. I'm not saying...
- So, yeah.
Copy !req
244. Uh, Tony.
Uh, my friend wants a drink.
Copy !req
245. Hi. Hi.
Copy !req
246. - Uh, yeah. Go ahead.
- How we doing?
Copy !req
247. Hi. Um, I'll get a Coke.
Copy !req
248. - A Coke?
- Yep.
Copy !req
249. Okay, fine. Whatever.
Copy !req
250. So, what's going on?
How are you?
Copy !req
251. Well, everybody thinks
I'm a witch.
Copy !req
252. I don't think that's true.
Copy !req
253. Go look at my car.
Copy !req
254. Pfft.
I hope you didn't drive here.
Copy !req
255. Why do you hope
that I didn't...
Copy !req
256. I hope you didn't drive here
because...
Copy !req
257. Wait...
Copy !req
258. Don't be an asshole, Paul.
Copy !req
259. - I'm not being an asshole.
- Come on.
Copy !req
260. I'm not being an asshole.
Copy !req
261. I'm concerned
about you, and...
Copy !req
262. You know what? I don't need...
Copy !req
263. I don't need
your fucking concern.
Copy !req
264. Okay? I'm not drunk.
Copy !req
265. Okay. Got it. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
266. So what,
somebody vandalized your car?
Copy !req
267. They wrote "witch" across it.
So, yes.
Copy !req
268. For your information,
everybody thinks you're...
Copy !req
269. I'm a witch.
Copy !req
270. So, yes.
Copy !req
271. - One Coke.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
272. Can I give you a little, uh...
Copy !req
273. - Tough love?
- No.
Copy !req
274. Just some thoughts
from somebody
Copy !req
275. who knows you very well.
Copy !req
276. - Is that okay?
- Yep.
Copy !req
277. Try to get out
of your own head.
Copy !req
278. People are not all thinking
about you right now, okay?
Copy !req
279. The whole town
isn't aimed at you.
Copy !req
280. Hmm. I think you might
actually be wrong about that.
Copy !req
281. You have a tendency
to get a little "woe is me"...
Copy !req
282. - Wow. Wow. Okay.
- ... and a little paranoid.
Copy !req
283. And one thing I know
has never helped is this.
Copy !req
284. What is "this"? What?
Copy !req
285. A lonely drinking pity party.
Copy !req
286. I'm not lonely.
Copy !req
287. You're here.
Copy !req
288. You know what I mean, okay?
And I can't stay.
Copy !req
289. Does Donna know you're here?
Copy !req
290. No.
Copy !req
291. - Really?
- Really.
Copy !req
292. We're not... You know,
we're not happening right now.
Copy !req
293. Wow.
Copy !req
294. It's not a big deal.
Copy !req
295. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
296. You're ridiculous.
Copy !req
297. Look at you. You're beaming.
Copy !req
298. Come on.
Have one real drink with me.
Copy !req
299. - Justine, no. Justine.
- Come on. Please.
Copy !req
300. Please?
Copy !req
301. No.
Copy !req
302. Stop, please.
Copy !req
303. You haven't changed a bit.
Copy !req
304. What do you got
going on today?
Copy !req
305. Work.
Copy !req
306. Working. All day. Till late.
Copy !req
307. Okay. I believe you. Jesus.
Copy !req
308. What?
Copy !req
309. Uh, don't-don't worry.
Copy !req
310. I'm not gonna be, like,
spam texting you
Copy !req
311. all day and night.
I learned my lesson.
Copy !req
312. Justine, I'm just saying
I'm working. That's it.
Copy !req
313. How's work?
Copy !req
314. It's fine. It's whatever.
Copy !req
315. Wow. I hope that's not
the general vibe over there.
Copy !req
316. What does that mean?
Copy !req
317. Well, there's 17
missing children out there,
Copy !req
318. and I like to think the people
in charge of finding them
Copy !req
319. aren't like, "Oh, whatever,"
about their jobs.
Copy !req
320. First of all,
I'm not a detective.
Copy !req
321. I don't know if you know that.
Copy !req
322. Second of all,
I'm hungover as shit.
Copy !req
323. I didn't realize I was getting
grilled on the investigation.
Copy !req
324. No, no, no.
I'm not...
Copy !req
325. I'm not trying to grill.
Copy !req
326. I'm just wondering if I need
to solve this thing myself.
Copy !req
327. We're on it.
Copy !req
328. - You're on it?
- Yep.
Copy !req
329. Okay, well, what a load off.
Copy !req
330. You're on it.
Copy !req
331. Right now, you really
need to take it easy.
Copy !req
332. No one's slacking.
Copy !req
333. Don't let yourself get all...
Copy !req
334. Get all Justine about it?
Copy !req
335. Just leave the investigating
to the investigators.
Copy !req
336. It was great to see you.
Copy !req
337. You too.
Copy !req
338. Suck my dick.
Copy !req
339. Hello?
Copy !req
340. I explicitly told you
Copy !req
341. not to interact with Alex.
Copy !req
342. Well, technically,
I didn't interact with him.
Copy !req
343. You followed him home.
Copy !req
344. You rang his doorbell
repeatedly
Copy !req
345. then spied through a window.
Copy !req
346. Well, can... can we
just focus on the fact
Copy !req
347. that that house is bizarre?
Copy !req
348. Justine, if I wasn't clear
with you before,
Copy !req
349. let me do so now.
Copy !req
350. I want you to leave him alone.
Copy !req
351. Okay, why were his windows
taped up?
Copy !req
352. Doesn't that seem strange
to you?
Copy !req
353. Probably because nosy people
take it upon themselves
Copy !req
354. to walk up
and peek through them.
Copy !req
355. - But, Marcus...
- Are you kidding?
Copy !req
356. I'm gonna do you the courtesy
Copy !req
357. of forgetting that this
phone call ever took place.
Copy !req
358. - What the fuck?
- You fucked him?
Copy !req
359. Donna?
Copy !req
360. - You fucked him?
- Donna, no. I...
Copy !req
361. I-I didn't fuck him.
Copy !req
362. - Yes, you did. I know you did.
- No, no, no. No, he...
Copy !req
363. He said you weren't together.
Copy !req
364. - Liar!
- No, no, no!
Copy !req
365. - You got him drunk!
- Donna, stop. Stop!
Copy !req
366. He was trying to be nice
to you, and you got him drunk!
Copy !req
367. - Hey! Hey! Don't!
- Stop!
Copy !req
368. Look at what you did!
Copy !req
369. Luciano, I know
we got off to a rocky start
Copy !req
370. with everything that happened
in the Jacuzzi,
Copy !req
371. but still you have made me...
Copy !req
372. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
373. Alex, hi. How are you?
Copy !req
374. I-I just wanted to say hi
Copy !req
375. 'cause I've been thinking
about you a lot, and...
Copy !req
376. I wanted to make sure
you're okay.
Copy !req
377. I'm okay.
Copy !req
378. Yeah?
Copy !req
379. 'Cause I know it's been
a really hard time for me,
Copy !req
380. and I can't even imagine
how it's been like...
Copy !req
381. I have to go.
Copy !req
382. Hey, hang on, please.
Copy !req
383. I just...
I just want to make sure
Copy !req
384. - that everything's all right.
- Don't follow me!
Copy !req
385. Hello? It's Ms. Gandy.
I'd like to talk to you.
Copy !req
386. Hello?
Copy !req
387. I know you're home.
Copy !req
388. I'm going to work.
Copy !req
389. Been calling you
all morning, boss.
Copy !req
390. Yeah, I hit a snag
on the way over.
Copy !req
391. How things looking?
Copy !req
392. Little bit
of a chaotic morning.
Copy !req
393. - Yeah?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
394. Marc went to go pick up
the sodding,
Copy !req
395. but they didn't have it in
Copy !req
396. 'cause the order
never got placed.
Copy !req
397. Shit. Goddamn it. That...
Copy !req
398. All right,
I'm sorry about that.
Copy !req
399. Yeah, we got the owner coming
Friday for a walk-through,
Copy !req
400. and we're still gonna
have the open frame in.
Copy !req
401. It's on me. It's my bad.
Copy !req
402. And then I showed up,
and I see that Alvin
Copy !req
403. painted the door with the
paint that you ordered, and...
Copy !req
404. Yeah?
Copy !req
405. They wanted forest green
and that's red.
Copy !req
406. - What?
- Look.
Copy !req
407. Goddamn it. Wait a minute.
Did they send the wrong...
Copy !req
408. I checked the order,
and we ordered it.
Copy !req
409. They sent what we asked for,
but what we asked for was...
Copy !req
410. All right. I fucked up.
Copy !req
411. I'll take it back,
get the right one.
Copy !req
412. Mr. Graff.
Copy !req
413. Yeah.
Copy !req
414. We follow up on
every one of these calls.
Copy !req
415. So I can assure you
that as we speak,
Copy !req
416. we have officers
aggressively pursuing
Copy !req
417. every lead that comes
through this station.
Copy !req
418. So, what about the feds?
They got nothing new?
Copy !req
419. There continues to be a very
healthy information exchange.
Copy !req
420. So I can tell you
with full confidence
Copy !req
421. that they are also pursuing
every lead aggressively.
Copy !req
422. What's happening
with the K-9 units?
Copy !req
423. I haven't heard about any
K-9 reports in a long time.
Copy !req
424. That's because
they don't report to you.
Copy !req
425. Mr. Graff, I can understand
your passion.
Copy !req
426. And I don't mind having
these conversations with you
Copy !req
427. because, God forbid,
if it was my child,
Copy !req
428. I'd be demanding answers too.
Copy !req
429. But I need you to trust
that what we're doing here...
Copy !req
430. She's still not talking, huh?
Copy !req
431. She knows.
Copy !req
432. I disagree with that.
Copy !req
433. You're aggressively
following up on every lead,
Copy !req
434. and yet she's just out there
walking around free as a bird.
Copy !req
435. Have you done any looking
into her whatsoever?
Copy !req
436. Extensively. Yes, we have.
Copy !req
437. So you know about
her past, huh?
Copy !req
438. 'Cause I've done some digging.
Copy !req
439. And I've found out a lot.
Copy !req
440. She had a DUI two years ago.
Did you not see that?
Copy !req
441. She was let go from her
last school that she taught at
Copy !req
442. for inappropriate behavior.
Copy !req
443. Did you not see
that one either?
Copy !req
444. With a member of the faculty.
Copy !req
445. She's a troubled person,
is she not?
Copy !req
446. What is it you think
that she knows?
Copy !req
447. What do you think it is
that she's not telling us?
Copy !req
448. Because those kids walked out
of those homes.
Copy !req
449. No one pulled them out.
Copy !req
450. No one forced them.
Copy !req
451. I don't see
anything whatsoever
Copy !req
452. that points to that woman.
Copy !req
453. What do you see that I don't?
Copy !req
454. I see something that
I don't understand at all.
Copy !req
455. Yeah!
Copy !req
456. We're talking about 17 kids
in one classroom.
Copy !req
457. And none of them
talked about it?
Copy !req
458. Exactly.
Copy !req
459. And we got how many parents
in here,
Copy !req
460. and none of us saw it coming?
Copy !req
461. I want to know what happened
in that classroom.
Copy !req
462. Why just her classroom?
Why only hers?
Copy !req
463. Where are our children?
Copy !req
464. You're just gonna leave?
Copy !req
465. That's enough.
Copy !req
466. Everybody needs to give us
some space.
Copy !req
467. Please. Please.
Copy !req
468. Let's all get
a good night's sleep.
Copy !req
469. Wake up with clearer heads.
Please.
Copy !req
470. She has answers!
Copy !req
471. Excuse me, miss, I'm saving up
for a bus ticket
Copy !req
472. to see my brother. Do you have
any change on you at all?
Copy !req
473. Sorry.
Copy !req
474. Matthew?
Copy !req
475. Matthew.
Copy !req
476. Matthew!
Copy !req
477. Stop!
Copy !req
478. Wait.
Copy !req
479. Matthew?
Copy !req
480. Matthew?
Copy !req
481. Matthew, where are you?
Copy !req
482. Where did you go?
Copy !req
483. Talk to me.
Copy !req
484. Talk to me!
Copy !req
485. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
486. I'm sorry that
I wasn't able to sa...
Copy !req
487. That I wasn't able...
Copy !req
488. I wanted to say it
so many times.
Copy !req
489. I really do want to say it
all the time
Copy !req
490. because I feel it
all the time.
Copy !req
491. I love you so much.
Copy !req
492. What the fuck?
Copy !req
493. Where's our house?
Copy !req
494. There.
Copy !req
495. Where's the tower? Tower,
tower, tower, tower, tower.
Copy !req
496. Ah.
Copy !req
497. Show me.
Copy !req
498. Come on.
Copy !req
499. Hi.
Copy !req
500. - Hello.
- How are you?
Copy !req
501. I'm Archer Graff.
I'm Matthew's...
Copy !req
502. Yeah, I know who you are. Hi.
Copy !req
503. Oh, good. I know we haven't
spoken before directly.
Copy !req
504. We've seen each other
at a lot of the same...
Copy !req
505. - How are you, Archer?
- I'm good. I'm real good.
Copy !req
506. I... You know.
Copy !req
507. All things considered, just...
Copy !req
508. soldiering on.
Copy !req
509. We have to, don't we?
Copy !req
510. We do.
Copy !req
511. Listen, I'm sorry to
surprise you at home like this
Copy !req
512. in the...
in the middle of the day.
Copy !req
513. But, um, I don't know
if you know,
Copy !req
514. but we got some footage of
Matthew leaving the house
Copy !req
515. on our Ring cam thing here,
Copy !req
516. and I think you folks
had the same...
Copy !req
517. same situation with Bailey?
Copy !req
518. Yeah, that's right.
Copy !req
519. All right. Well, I'm sure
you showed yours to the police
Copy !req
520. just like I did, but I-I...
Copy !req
521. I wondered if you would mind
letting me take a look at it.
Copy !req
522. I don't need a copy
or anything.
Copy !req
523. I'm not comfortable with that.
Copy !req
524. Okay. I understand.
Copy !req
525. Gary?
Copy !req
526. Archer Graff. How you doing?
Copy !req
527. Fine.
Copy !req
528. Matthew's dad.
Copy !req
529. Yeah. Of course.
Copy !req
530. How's it going?
Copy !req
531. Um, I have a strange question
I need to ask you.
Copy !req
532. It's kinda hard to watch this.
Copy !req
533. Okay, wait. Go back to where
she steps on the sidewalk.
Copy !req
534. Okay.
Copy !req
535. Uh...
Copy !req
536. Okay. Right there.
Copy !req
537. What do you see?
Copy !req
538. One, two, three, four...
Copy !req
539. five, six, seven.
Copy !req
540. Sorry.
Copy !req
541. Come on. What am I looking at?
Copy !req
542. Hey.
Copy !req
543. - I want to talk to you.
- Well, I...
Copy !req
544. I don't think we have anything
to say to each other.
Copy !req
545. I think you have a lot to say.
Copy !req
546. You and every other person
in this city.
Copy !req
547. Believe me,
the message is loud and clear.
Copy !req
548. I'm the problem. Got it.
Copy !req
549. You know what?
I think that's the first
Copy !req
550. honest thing
I've heard you say.
Copy !req
551. - You are the problem.
- You wanna get in my face?
Copy !req
552. - You wanna threaten me?
- I'm not...
Copy !req
553. Nobody's threatening you.
Copy !req
554. You're barking up
the wrong tree. Okay?
Copy !req
555. This whole victim persona
that you're taking on,
Copy !req
556. it might have
the police fooled,
Copy !req
557. it might have
the school fooled...
Copy !req
558. - Stop thinking of yourself!
- Marcus?
Copy !req
559. You and I are gonna
have a conversation right...
Copy !req
560. Hey!
Copy !req
561. Just stay down.
Copy !req
562. Hey!
Copy !req
563. Hotel's good, though?
Copy !req
564. - It's fine.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
565. Not the Ritz, but I'm not
expecting them to go nuts.
Copy !req
566. Yeah. Well, it's only
for six nights. Right?
Copy !req
567. Three, actually.
Copy !req
568. Apparently,
I don't have to be here
Copy !req
569. for the big wrap-up shindig,
Copy !req
570. so I get to leave on Thursday.
Copy !req
571. - Isn't that great?
- Yeah. It's good.
Copy !req
572. 'Cause I'm supposed
to ovulate Friday,
Copy !req
573. so we can hit the target
this month.
Copy !req
574. Nice. Okay. Yeah. Good.
Copy !req
575. I thought you'd like that.
Copy !req
576. Oh, will you tell my dad
when you see him today
Copy !req
577. that since I'll be back
for the weekend,
Copy !req
578. we can make their
anniversary lunch thing?
Copy !req
579. Yeah, I'll let him know.
Copy !req
580. He'll be happy.
Copy !req
581. You about to start your shift?
Copy !req
582. Yep.
Copy !req
583. You gonna hit
a meeting afterward?
Copy !req
584. Um, I wasn't planning on it.
Copy !req
585. Don't you think you should?
Copy !req
586. Uh, if I have time,
I'll hit one.
Copy !req
587. Paul, especially when
Copy !req
588. you're going to be
spending stretches alone,
Copy !req
589. I think it's important that
you go to regular meetings.
Copy !req
590. I'm not gonna drink, Donna.
I feel fine.
Copy !req
591. If I don't feel fine,
then I'll hit a meeting. Okay?
Copy !req
592. Okay, sweetie.
Copy !req
593. Okay. I gotta get going now.
Copy !req
594. Okay. Don't forget to tell
my dad about this weekend.
Copy !req
595. Yep.
Copy !req
596. - Love you.
- Love you.
Copy !req
597. Jesus Christ.
Copy !req
598. Hey, Ed.
Copy !req
599. Hey, buddy.
Copy !req
600. Uh, Donna's back Friday,
Copy !req
601. so we're good to have lunch
with you guys on Sunday.
Copy !req
602. Why's she coming back early?
Copy !req
603. I guess they're
cutting her loose, so...
Copy !req
604. she wanted me to let you know
that we're in.
Copy !req
605. Okay. Sounds good.
Copy !req
606. Anniversary lunch?
Copy !req
607. Yep.
Copy !req
608. That's nice.
Well, congratulations and...
Copy !req
609. - Well, thanks.
- A lot of years.
Copy !req
610. You calling me old?
Copy !req
611. No. No, sir. No, no, no.
Copy !req
612. Why would you call me old?
Copy !req
613. No, sir. I wasn't saying that.
Copy !req
614. I'm giving you shit.
Copy !req
615. Well, just starting
my shift here.
Copy !req
616. Roger that.
Copy !req
617. Next Monday
will mark 30 days
Copy !req
618. since 17 grade-school children
have disappeared
Copy !req
619. from McCarren County.
Copy !req
620. Community members
have issued a $50,000 reward
Copy !req
621. for any information
leading to their recovery.
Copy !req
622. Any suspicious individual
or activity
Copy !req
623. should be reported to your...
Copy !req
624. Stop right there. Police.
Copy !req
625. Shit.
Copy !req
626. Stop or you're gonna
get the Taser!
Copy !req
627. Dude, please.
Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.
Copy !req
628. - Shut up.
- Please. I work there, man.
Copy !req
629. I just lost my keys. Please.
Copy !req
630. I lost my keys. Please.
Copy !req
631. - You okay?
- Yes, Officer, I'm okay.
Copy !req
632. All right. We went down
pretty hard there. You good?
Copy !req
633. Officer, I'm okay.
Just please call my warehouse.
Copy !req
634. You can look the number
up online.
Copy !req
635. My phone isn't working
right now.
Copy !req
636. Cuffs too tight? Hands okay?
Copy !req
637. Yes, they're okay, Officer.
Copy !req
638. - Let's walk back to the car.
- No, no, no.
Copy !req
639. Come on. Let's go.
One, two, three.
Copy !req
640. Please, Officer. Officer.
Copy !req
641. - Hey, what's your name, sir?
- James.
Copy !req
642. James, okay. Stand right here
for me, James.
Copy !req
643. - You got any weapons on you?
- No.
Copy !req
644. No? How about drugs?
Are you holding?
Copy !req
645. No, sir.
Copy !req
646. Anything in your pockets
gonna stick me
Copy !req
647. when I put my hands
in there, James?
Copy !req
648. No, sir. I do not.
Copy !req
649. Are you sure? I don't wanna
get poked by anything.
Copy !req
650. I have nothing, sir.
Copy !req
651. Okay, James.
Hold still for me there.
Copy !req
652. Shouldn't run
from the police, sir.
Copy !req
653. Ah! Fuck!
Copy !req
654. Please. Please be okay.
Copy !req
655. Shit.
Copy !req
656. Okay. Up. Up. Get up.
Copy !req
657. Hey. Can you hear me?
Copy !req
658. James? You with me?
Copy !req
659. Ow. What the fuck?
Copy !req
660. Fucking hit me, bro.
Copy !req
661. Okay. Here's what's
gonna happen now.
Copy !req
662. I'm gonna take
these cuffs off you, okay?
Copy !req
663. I'm gonna get in my car
in a second.
Copy !req
664. I'm gonna drive away, but...
Copy !req
665. Are you listening to me?
Copy !req
666. I don't want to see you here
again, okay?
Copy !req
667. The way I see it,
I did you wrong,
Copy !req
668. you did me wrong.
Copy !req
669. Let's just call it a day.
Copy !req
670. But if I see you
out here again,
Copy !req
671. it's gonna be
a different story. Yes?
Copy !req
672. Yes?
Copy !req
673. I mean it.
Copy !req
674. Okay, consider yourself
warned. Now, let's get up.
Copy !req
675. I'm gonna take these cuffs
off you. One, two...
Copy !req
676. Because right now,
this is a...
Copy !req
677. this is a whole other matter.
Copy !req
678. Somebody needs to
just tell this guy
Copy !req
679. his kid is not
the only kid missing.
Copy !req
680. There's 17 kids. All...
Copy !req
681. Okay, listen.
Copy !req
682. As long as
this isn't reported,
Copy !req
683. that footage is gonna
sit on a drive somewhere,
Copy !req
684. and it's gonna get recorded
over in about a month.
Copy !req
685. And if that fucking citizen
Copy !req
686. doesn't come back here
in a month
Copy !req
687. and file a complaint,
this could all go away.
Copy !req
688. But if they do...
Copy !req
689. Paul, you're gonna be
in some serious hot water.
Copy !req
690. Did you get that hand
checked out?
Copy !req
691. Fuck!
Copy !req
692. Hey!
Copy !req
693. Can we hug?
Copy !req
694. Yeah, of course we can hug.
Jesus.
Copy !req
695. Hello?
Copy !req
696. Paul?
Copy !req
697. Hey.
Copy !req
698. - Where have you been?
- You're home.
Copy !req
699. I am.
Copy !req
700. Someone got sick,
Copy !req
701. and they sent everyone
on my team, on Morris's...
Copy !req
702. Where have you been?
Copy !req
703. I was, uh... I was out.
Copy !req
704. Where?
Copy !req
705. Paul.
Copy !req
706. You piece of shit.
Copy !req
707. You wanna switch
up lunch today or same place?
Copy !req
708. - Yeah, pizza?
- Yeah. Lunch on you today?
Copy !req
709. I have seen this issue...
Copy !req
710. Son of a bitch.
Copy !req
711. Hey!
Copy !req
712. What did I tell you? Huh?
Copy !req
713. What did I tell you?
Copy !req
714. What did I fuck...
Oh, you fucker.
Copy !req
715. Fucker!
Copy !req
716. This is fucking
bullshit. Look at this shit.
Copy !req
717. Please, please,
please, please.
Copy !req
718. Right here, right here,
right here. Yep.
Copy !req
719. Goddamn it. What the fuck!
Copy !req
720. Fuck.
Copy !req
721. Piece of shit. Yes.
Goddamn it.
Copy !req
722. Please, please, please.
Copy !req
723. Fuck! Fuck! Come on.
Goddamn it. Fucking go.
Copy !req
724. Yes. Goddamn it.
Copy !req
725. Argh! Fucking shit!
Copy !req
726. Fuck!
Copy !req
727. Yo, new phone.
Copy !req
728. It's me, dude.
Copy !req
729. Um, dude,
I got a job yesterday.
Copy !req
730. Yeah, thank you, man.
Copy !req
731. Thank you, thank you,
thank you.
Copy !req
732. Yeah, um, so just, like,
a little teeny-tiny problem
Copy !req
733. 'cause I just... I can't start
till I have, like, new shoes.
Copy !req
734. And, you know, a whole outfit.
Copy !req
735. 'Cause, you know, like I said,
it's fancy.
Copy !req
736. And, um...
Copy !req
737. Wait, wait, wait.
No, no, no. Wait, wait.
Copy !req
738. This is a good thing.
I got... I got a job,
Copy !req
739. and I'm-I'm-I'm freaking...
I'm doing the thing.
Copy !req
740. So, you know,
we can start chilling again.
Copy !req
741. Of course
I'm gonna pay Mom back,
Copy !req
742. but I can't do that
Copy !req
743. until I get the, you know,
money to get the clothes,
Copy !req
744. so that I can do the job,
so that I can pay Mom back.
Copy !req
745. Hello?
Copy !req
746. Argh! You fucking bitch.
Copy !req
747. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
Copy !req
748. Hey, man, I feel like I wasn't
communicating very well
Copy !req
749. how important it is that I get
Copy !req
750. just, like,
a little bit of money,
Copy !req
751. so that I can get
the clothes for the job,
Copy !req
752. so that I can get the job, obviously.
Copy !req
753. So please call me back so
I can communicate that better.
Copy !req
754. Thanks, buddy. Love you.
Copy !req
755. Hell, yeah!
Copy !req
756. No.
Copy !req
757. No?
Copy !req
758. I don't want.
Copy !req
759. What do you mean?
Why you no want? This is good.
Copy !req
760. These are good.
These are good.
Copy !req
761. Look, this is worth,
like, 50 bucks.
Copy !req
762. No.
Copy !req
763. Twenty.
Copy !req
764. Ten.
Copy !req
765. Five.
Copy !req
766. Please, dude. Please.
Copy !req
767. Fuck.
Copy !req
768. Stop right there.
Police.
Copy !req
769. Fuck!
Copy !req
770. Way I see it, I did you
wrong, you did me wrong.
Copy !req
771. We're gonna call it a day.
Copy !req
772. But if I see you
out here again...
Copy !req
773. it's gonna be
a different story. Yeah?
Copy !req
774. Okay.
Consider yourself warned.
Copy !req
775. Get the fuck up.
Copy !req
776. Fuck!
Copy !req
777. The fuck off me, man.
Copy !req
778. What the fuck?
Copy !req
779. Shit.
Copy !req
780. Oh, shit.
Copy !req
781. Oh, fuck, Willow.
Copy !req
782. Jesus! Fuck!
Copy !req
783. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Um...
Copy !req
784. Hello?
Copy !req
785. You good?
Copy !req
786. What the fuck?
Copy !req
787. Sorry! Fuck! Sorry!
Copy !req
788. Sorry!
Copy !req
789. Fuck!
Copy !req
790. What the fuck? What the fuck?
Copy !req
791. Fuck.
Copy !req
792. Goddamn it. Piece of shit.
Copy !req
793. What the fuck? Jesus! Fuck!
Copy !req
794. Fuck! Goddamn it.
Copy !req
795. Fuck! Argh!
Please, please, please.
Copy !req
796. Fuck!
Copy !req
797. 20, 40, 60, 80, 100.
Copy !req
798. Hey.
Copy !req
799. I'm calling about
the $50,000 reward
Copy !req
800. for information
about the missing kids
Copy !req
801. 'cause I know where they are.
Copy !req
802. I'm pretty sure all of 'em.
Looked like a bunch of 'em.
Copy !req
803. They're all standing
in the basement of this house,
Copy !req
804. just, like, standing there.
And, um...
Copy !req
805. I don't know.
They're in the basement
Copy !req
806. standing all still and shit.
Copy !req
807. And there's, like, fucking
two wackos over there.
Copy !req
808. And it's just, like,
fucked-up.
Copy !req
809. Um, but— So how's this...
how's this gonna work, though?
Copy !req
810. How do I get the money?
Copy !req
811. No, I'm not... I'm...
I'm completely serious.
Copy !req
812. I mean, I can show you.
Like, I'll show you.
Copy !req
813. Um, but I just... I, uh...
Copy !req
814. I really don't wanna come in,
'cause, like, someone...
Copy !req
815. Could someone come meet me
somewhere with the cash?
Copy !req
816. 'Cause like... I just...
Copy !req
817. I really don't like
police stations, you know?
Copy !req
818. They just kind of freak
me out. I'm, uh... I'm phobic.
Copy !req
819. Hey!
Copy !req
820. What did I tell you?
What did I fucking...
Copy !req
821. "What'd I tell you, huh?
What'd I tell you?
Copy !req
822. What'd I tell you?
I'm a big cop, and I..."
Copy !req
823. You're okay. You're okay.
Copy !req
824. That wasn't real. That wasn't
real. That wasn't real.
Copy !req
825. It's okay. You're okay.
Copy !req
826. Fuck.
Copy !req
827. Fucker! You stabbed me!
Copy !req
828. No, no, no. I'm sorry.
Sorry. It was an accident.
Copy !req
829. It was an accident. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
830. Wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait.
Wait, wait.
Copy !req
831. I know where those kids are.
Copy !req
832. That's why I was coming
to the station.
Copy !req
833. - You're fucking lying!
- No, no, no, I'm not. I'm not.
Copy !req
834. I promise. I promise. I know
where they are. I promise.
Copy !req
835. Where?
Copy !req
836. They're at-at-at a house,
not far, in the basement.
Copy !req
837. What the fuck are you t...
What house?
Copy !req
838. I... I can show you, man.
Copy !req
839. It's-it's really, really,
really close.
Copy !req
840. Oh, fuck me.
Copy !req
841. Do you have AIDS?
Copy !req
842. Huh?
Copy !req
843. AIDS, asshole.
Do you have AIDS?
Copy !req
844. Uh...
Copy !req
845. Uh, I don't think so.
Copy !req
846. Hepatitis? Shit like that?
Copy !req
847. I mean, shit,
not that I know of.
Copy !req
848. That one, the dark one.
Copy !req
849. Right there
at the end of the block.
Copy !req
850. Um, excuse me, sir.
Copy !req
851. Um, I don't want to be rude,
but, like,
Copy !req
852. how do I know you aren't
gonna try and, like,
Copy !req
853. take that reward for yourself?
Copy !req
854. Sir?
Copy !req
855. Sir?
Copy !req
856. Officer?
Copy !req
857. Oh, man.
Copy !req
858. What the fuck?
Copy !req
859. What the fuck?
Copy !req
860. What the fuck?
Copy !req
861. Let me the fuck out of here.
Goddamn it.
Copy !req
862. Oh. Thank you.
Copy !req
863. What the fuck?
Copy !req
864. Jesus Christ. What the fuck?
Hey, yo, you good?
Copy !req
865. Jesus Christ, bro!
Copy !req
866. Hey! Get off me, bro!
Copy !req
867. Get the fuck off me!
Get the fuck off me!
Copy !req
868. Hey! Fuck!
Copy !req
869. Help me! Help me!
Someone, please help me!
Copy !req
870. I'm telling you,
Marcus. I've seen it myself.
Copy !req
871. There's something
very, very wrong
Copy !req
872. going on inside of that house.
Copy !req
873. If you don't believe me,
Copy !req
874. - go there yourself.
- Justine, stop.
Copy !req
875. Here's the bottom line.
Copy !req
876. Alex has been
traumatized enough
Copy !req
877. by the events
of the last two months,
Copy !req
878. - as I'm sure you have.
- Marcus...
Copy !req
879. Which is why I'm gonna do
you the courtesy
Copy !req
880. of forgetting that this
phone call ever took place.
Copy !req
881. If a child's welfare
is questioned, by law...
Copy !req
882. - Justine.
- ... you have to refer it
Copy !req
883. to CPS.
Copy !req
884. By law.
Copy !req
885. Are you really gonna
take it there?
Copy !req
886. Is this the corner
you're gonna put me in?
Copy !req
887. Just go make the house call,
Marcus. Just do that.
Copy !req
888. I'm not authorized
to just make house calls.
Copy !req
889. Well, you're a mandatory
reporter. You have to.
Copy !req
890. Okay, here's what I'll do.
Copy !req
891. I'll invite his parents to
come in, have a talk with me.
Copy !req
892. We'll have a face-to-face
at the school.
Copy !req
893. Is that acceptable to you?
Copy !req
894. Yes, thank you. I would
really appreciate that.
Copy !req
895. Okay, then. You're welcome.
Goodbye.
Copy !req
896. Yeah.
Copy !req
897. Your two o'clock is here.
Copy !req
898. That's fine.
Copy !req
899. Well, send them in, please,
Marge.
Copy !req
900. This way, ma'am.
Copy !req
901. Principal Miller, I'm Gladys.
Copy !req
902. Yes. H-Hi. Hi.
Copy !req
903. Come on in.
Copy !req
904. - Have a seat, please.
- Oh, thank you.
Copy !req
905. Thank you, Marge.
Copy !req
906. Thank you for coming in. I...
Copy !req
907. I know you guys have had
a lot of attention lately.
Copy !req
908. Not all of it
could possibly be wanted.
Copy !req
909. I'm happy to come by.
It's fine.
Copy !req
910. Okay. Forgive me...
Copy !req
911. We have not met.
Is that right?
Copy !req
912. No, I don't think so.
Copy !req
913. Okay... Phew.
Copy !req
914. Because I was relatively
certain I'd remember.
Copy !req
915. I know I've met
Alex's father before.
Copy !req
916. I'm Alex's aunt,
Copy !req
917. and his mom's my baby sister.
Copy !req
918. Okay. So you're not
his legal guardian.
Copy !req
919. Well, no. That would be
his parents, of course.
Copy !req
920. Okay. Well, uh...
Copy !req
921. Forgive me, Gladys,
Copy !req
922. but unfortunately, I need
to speak with his parents.
Copy !req
923. Well, I hate to say it,
Copy !req
924. but his parents have been
feeling unwell as of late,
Copy !req
925. and I'm staying with them
to help take care of Alex.
Copy !req
926. Oh. S-Sounds serious.
Copy !req
927. Oh, no. No, it's not serious.
Nothing terminal.
Copy !req
928. It's just a touch
of consumption.
Copy !req
929. "A touch of consumption"?
Copy !req
930. Yeah.
Copy !req
931. You know what?
Copy !req
932. I'm embarrassed to say
Copy !req
933. I guess I don't really know
what that means.
Copy !req
934. I thought it was something
Copy !req
935. settlers got
on the Oregon Trail.
Copy !req
936. - What is it? Tuberculosis?
- You know what?
Copy !req
937. They are doing just fine,
but they need to stay home.
Copy !req
938. I had hoped to speak to them
in person because...
Copy !req
939. this is awkward,
Copy !req
940. but a concerned individual has
lodged a welfare complaint.
Copy !req
941. And unfortunately,
I need to make contact
Copy !req
942. with the child's
legal guardian.
Copy !req
943. It's something
that's not really negotiable.
Copy !req
944. I need to speak
with their parents in person.
Copy !req
945. Oh, dear.
Copy !req
946. I could come over to the house
if that would make it easier.
Copy !req
947. I'm just trying to avoid
involving CPS.
Copy !req
948. - But frankly...
- CPS?
Copy !req
949. I'm not convinced
that anything is wrong.
Copy !req
950. Who made the complaint?
Copy !req
951. I'm not at liberty to say.
Copy !req
952. Well, this is very upsetting.
Copy !req
953. It is now that
all free will has been lost.
Copy !req
954. The ant moves
under the direction
Copy !req
955. of a mind separate
from its own.
Copy !req
956. Here, the ant initiates
its death grip.
Copy !req
957. Yum, yum, yum.
Copy !req
958. There we go.
Copy !req
959. As the parasitic Cordyceps
continue to feed off its body.
Copy !req
960. That's disgusting.
Copy !req
961. Fungal fruiting occurs next.
Copy !req
962. Large blooms...
Copy !req
963. that serve
to spread more spores...
Copy !req
964. Who could that be?
Copy !req
965. that will find more ants.
Copy !req
966. Ew.
Copy !req
967. - Thank God you're home.
- Who is it?
Copy !req
968. I'm so sorry to disturb you
on a Saturday.
Copy !req
969. Oh, will you please,
please forgive me?
Copy !req
970. We're just sitting down.
Copy !req
971. The bus didn't pick me up
where it was scheduled to.
Copy !req
972. And I had realized
far too late...
Copy !req
973. that I was standing
on the wrong corner.
Copy !req
974. And by the time
I put that together,
Copy !req
975. oh, I'd missed it entirely.
Copy !req
976. So I had to walk all the way
across town to get here.
Copy !req
977. Well, I'm so sorry
to hear that...
Copy !req
978. I am sorry to tell you this,
sweetie,
Copy !req
979. but I am on the verge
of collapse.
Copy !req
980. Oh.
Copy !req
981. Could I please
have some water?
Copy !req
982. I'm afraid that's re...
Copy !req
983. Of course
you can have some water.
Copy !req
984. Oh, thank you so much.
Copy !req
985. I'm afraid
it's really not a...
Copy !req
986. My name's Gladys,
it's so nice to meet you.
Copy !req
987. Hi.
Copy !req
988. Oh! I absolutely love
this house.
Copy !req
989. Look, a giraffe
and a green Chinese la...
Copy !req
990. That's original in there.
I bet it is.
Copy !req
991. Oh, I just love this kitchen.
Copy !req
992. Clean, white cabinets.
How I'm envious of that.
Copy !req
993. Now, listen.
I know that it's inconvenient,
Copy !req
994. but I really needed
to speak to you
Copy !req
995. about our conversation
yesterday.
Copy !req
996. Oh.
Copy !req
997. Marcus, get her a glass.
Copy !req
998. A bowl, please.
Copy !req
999. A bowl?
Copy !req
1000. Yes, a bowl.
It's a peculiarity of mine.
Copy !req
1001. I don't even try
to rationalize it anymore.
Copy !req
1002. A bowl of water. Okay.
Copy !req
1003. Thank you.
Copy !req
1004. I-I wanted you to know that
I talked to Alex's father,
Copy !req
1005. who's very ill, as I said.
Copy !req
1006. But the good news is,
he's more than happy
Copy !req
1007. to come in Monday,
sit down with you
Copy !req
1008. and clear everything up.
Copy !req
1009. I appreciate that,
but it really is unnecessary.
Copy !req
1010. So there's no need to contact
the authorities, right?
Copy !req
1011. That's, uh...
Copy !req
1012. Sure, I guess not.
Copy !req
1013. I mean, you haven't
contacted them yet, right?
Copy !req
1014. Gladys, I'm really gonna
have to insist that you, uh...
Copy !req
1015. Is... Is that my ribbon?
Copy !req
1016. You haven't
contacted them, right?
Copy !req
1017. No, I haven't. What is this?
Copy !req
1018. Oh, my God!
Copy !req
1019. Whoops! Look what I did.
Oh, my goodness.
Copy !req
1020. Why did you do that?
Copy !req
1021. Well, it was an accident,
of course.
Copy !req
1022. Wow. That's really bleeding.
Copy !req
1023. Terry, go get the alcohol
Copy !req
1024. - and the first aid kit.
- Okay.
Copy !req
1025. Oh, no, no, no.
That's nonsense.
Copy !req
1026. Could you get me
a rag, sweetie?
Copy !req
1027. I think she cut my hair!
Copy !req
1028. I'm calling 911.
Copy !req
1029. Marcus, I think
she cut my hair!
Copy !req
1030. Marcus, what did she do?
Copy !req
1031. Marcus?
Copy !req
1032. Marcus?
Copy !req
1033. Well...
Copy !req
1034. Look!
Copy !req
1035. Yo, what the fuck, man?
Copy !req
1036. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
1037. Come out with it.
Just think of the kids.
Copy !req
1038. - Stop thinking of yourself!
- Marcus?
Copy !req
1039. You and I are gonna have a...
Copy !req
1040. Stay down.
Copy !req
1041. Hey! Stop! No!
Copy !req
1042. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
1043. Help me, please. Please.
Copy !req
1044. Oh, God. No!
Copy !req
1045. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
1046. Hey!
Copy !req
1047. Oh, my...
Copy !req
1048. - Get out of my store!
- Fucking help me!
Copy !req
1049. What the fuck?
Copy !req
1050. Motherfucker.
Copy !req
1051. Come on, you piece of shit.
Copy !req
1052. Are you okay?
Copy !req
1053. Yeah, I think so.
Copy !req
1054. I'm just, uh...
Copy !req
1055. scraped up.
Copy !req
1056. You?
Copy !req
1057. The same.
Copy !req
1058. I-I wanna thank you.
Copy !req
1059. - Ah...
- No, I do. So, thank you.
Copy !req
1060. Sure.
Copy !req
1061. I mean, what else could I do?
Copy !req
1062. Guy was out of control.
Copy !req
1063. The last time I talked to him,
he was fine.
Copy !req
1064. I mean, he really was.
Copy !req
1065. I've never seen anything
like that in my life.
Copy !req
1066. I have.
Copy !req
1067. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
1068. The way he was running,
I've seen that before.
Copy !req
1069. Can I show you something?
Copy !req
1070. Their little girl ran
the same way Matthew did.
Copy !req
1071. Same posture, same exact way.
Copy !req
1072. Just like Marcus
ran after you today.
Copy !req
1073. He was weaponized.
Copy !req
1074. Like a heat-seeking missile
just locked onto you.
Copy !req
1075. So, here. Look at this.
This is my house.
Copy !req
1076. This is Bailey Kramer's house.
Copy !req
1077. Now, if you assume they were
heading in a straight line
Copy !req
1078. at just some target of theirs,
Copy !req
1079. and you assume they both had
the same target,
Copy !req
1080. those lines intersect
somewhere around here.
Copy !req
1081. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
1082. There must be something
about this area.
Copy !req
1083. - Alex.
- Some— What?
Copy !req
1084. Alex Lilly lives
in this house.
Copy !req
1085. Who else can think
of an example of a parasite?
Copy !req
1086. Anyone?
Copy !req
1087. - Lisa?
- A tapeworm.
Copy !req
1088. A tapeworm! Very good!
Copy !req
1089. That's a gross one, right?
Copy !req
1090. It lives in your intestines
and it eats your food.
Copy !req
1091. Stop it.
Copy !req
1092. "Stop it."
Copy !req
1093. "Stop it."
Copy !req
1094. "Stop it."
Copy !req
1095. What's up, Axe Man?
Copy !req
1096. Talk to me, Axe Man.
How was school today?
Copy !req
1097. - Good.
- Good? Kiss any supermodels?
Copy !req
1098. No.
Copy !req
1099. No? All right.
Copy !req
1100. Well,
tonight's the night, pal.
Copy !req
1101. Your mom's aunt Gladys
is coming, remember?
Copy !req
1102. Why do we have to
have her live at our house?
Copy !req
1103. 'Cause it's like
we talked about.
Copy !req
1104. She's sick, and she doesn't
have anywhere else to go.
Copy !req
1105. But I don't even
know her, though.
Copy !req
1106. Pfft. I hear you, bud.
I don't know her either.
Copy !req
1107. To be honest, I'm not sure
your mom knows her that well.
Copy !req
1108. But she's family.
Family's important.
Copy !req
1109. We gotta help each other out.
Copy !req
1110. Hey, found a kid.
Copy !req
1111. Hey. My men have returned.
Copy !req
1112. - Hi.
- Hi.
Copy !req
1113. Whoa. Hey. Good day at school?
Copy !req
1114. - Yeah.
- Okay, good.
Copy !req
1115. Uh, I would really like to
get this house cleaned up
Copy !req
1116. before your aunt Gladys
gets here.
Copy !req
1117. So do me a favor,
get your room cleaned up
Copy !req
1118. before you start
your homework.
Copy !req
1119. She's not coming in my room,
is she?
Copy !req
1120. I'd really like a clean house.
Copy !req
1121. That includes your room,
so let's go.
Copy !req
1122. I know. It's horrible
cleaning up after yourself.
Copy !req
1123. All right?
Copy !req
1124. Hi! Come in!
Copy !req
1125. - Got the door?
- I got it.
Copy !req
1126. One more step.
Copy !req
1127. I'm just saying
she looks really bad.
Copy !req
1128. I don't know if this
is the place for...
Copy !req
1129. Yeah, well, it's either here
or out on the street, Stephen.
Copy !req
1130. Well, you know, this ain't
a hospice place, hon.
Copy !req
1131. I know that. I know.
Copy !req
1132. We're not equipped for this
kind of thing. All right?
Copy !req
1133. We hadn't seen this woman
in 15 years.
Copy !req
1134. She didn't even show up
to our wedding...
Copy !req
1135. Look, my mom
would do this for her,
Copy !req
1136. so I'm gonna do this
for her, okay?
Copy !req
1137. I could really
use your support.
Copy !req
1138. If at any point
you feel like...
Copy !req
1139. Alex, honey,
what are you doing?
Copy !req
1140. I'm hungry.
Copy !req
1141. Oh, you're hungry.
Okay. All right.
Copy !req
1142. Well, go downstairs, eat up
Copy !req
1143. and then go brush your teeth,
okay? It's almost 7:30.
Copy !req
1144. And be quiet back there.
Your aunt Gladys is sleeping.
Copy !req
1145. How long
is she gonna stay with us?
Copy !req
1146. Hard to say, pal.
Copy !req
1147. Doesn't look like
she's getting much better.
Copy !req
1148. So she's gonna stay
with us forever?
Copy !req
1149. No.
Copy !req
1150. I...
Copy !req
1151. I don't think she'll be here
longer than a month.
Copy !req
1152. - All righty, man.
- All righty.
Copy !req
1153. I'll pick you up
at 2:00, okay?
Copy !req
1154. - See ya.
- See ya.
Copy !req
1155. - I love you.
- Love ya.
Copy !req
1156. That's time.
Pencils down.
Copy !req
1157. Matthew!
Copy !req
1158. What?
You said, "Pencils down."
Copy !req
1159. Matthew, outside now.
Copy !req
1160. Alex, are you okay?
Copy !req
1161. I'm fine.
Copy !req
1162. Matthew, let's go.
Get your bag.
Copy !req
1163. It was a joke. Oh, my God!
Copy !req
1164. - You miss your ride, son?
- I'm okay.
Copy !req
1165. You sure?
Copy !req
1166. Mom, Dad, where were you?
Copy !req
1167. Hey, Axe Man. How was school?
Copy !req
1168. What's wrong?
Copy !req
1169. Alex?
Copy !req
1170. Oh, welcome home.
Copy !req
1171. How are you, sweetie?
Copy !req
1172. Let me take a look at you.
Copy !req
1173. Oh, you know,
I haven't seen you
Copy !req
1174. since you were
a little teeny baby.
Copy !req
1175. What's wrong with my parents?
Copy !req
1176. Oh, nothing, sweetheart.
They're just fine.
Copy !req
1177. Mom.
Copy !req
1178. Hey. How was school?
Copy !req
1179. You see? I told you,
she's just fine. Don't worry.
Copy !req
1180. Alex.
Copy !req
1181. Now, don't be rude.
Copy !req
1182. Why don't you sit down
at the table?
Copy !req
1183. 'Cause I'm making dinner.
I should have asked you,
Copy !req
1184. but you weren't here,
Copy !req
1185. so I thought mac and cheese
would...
Copy !req
1186. Dad!
Copy !req
1187. Alex, that's it.
Copy !req
1188. I want you to go upstairs,
wash your face,
Copy !req
1189. brush your teeth,
and then it is bedtime.
Copy !req
1190. No dinner for you.
Copy !req
1191. I'm not kidding, young man.
Go.
Copy !req
1192. Come. Sit.
Copy !req
1193. Alex.
Copy !req
1194. Sit.
Copy !req
1195. Don't worry about
your parents.
Copy !req
1196. They're just resting.
Copy !req
1197. Now, before you go to school
today, I want you to promise
Copy !req
1198. that you will not tell
a living soul that I am here
Copy !req
1199. or that your parents
are resting like they are.
Copy !req
1200. Do you hear me, Alex?
Copy !req
1201. Watch.
Copy !req
1202. Ooh.
Copy !req
1203. Are you watching?
Copy !req
1204. Stop!
Copy !req
1205. Stop, Dad!
Copy !req
1206. Alex.
Copy !req
1207. Sit down.
Copy !req
1208. Now, when I tell you
that you are not to speak
Copy !req
1209. about me or your parents
to anyone...
Copy !req
1210. you understand what can happen
if you break your promise.
Copy !req
1211. I can make your parents
hurt themselves.
Copy !req
1212. I can make them
hurt each other.
Copy !req
1213. I can make them eat each other
if I want to.
Copy !req
1214. Do I want to, Alex?
Copy !req
1215. Do you believe me?
Copy !req
1216. Promise you will not
talk about me
Copy !req
1217. to another human being.
Say it.
Copy !req
1218. I promise.
Copy !req
1219. 'Cause I'll know, Alex.
Copy !req
1220. Go to school. Take the bus.
Copy !req
1221. No talking today.
Copy !req
1222. Good boy.
Copy !req
1223. You'll need to
feed your parents.
Copy !req
1224. There's soup in the cabinet.
Copy !req
1225. Tomorrow,
you'll get some more.
Copy !req
1226. Alex.
Copy !req
1227. Alex?
Copy !req
1228. Come here, sweetie.
Copy !req
1229. Oh.
Copy !req
1230. I'm very sick, Alex.
Copy !req
1231. Would you like some water?
Copy !req
1232. Well, water won't help me.
Copy !req
1233. I'm too sick for water.
Copy !req
1234. I have been
for a very long time.
Copy !req
1235. What will make you better?
Copy !req
1236. Well, I was hoping
your mom and dad
Copy !req
1237. would make me feel better,
Copy !req
1238. but it doesn't seem to be
turning out so good.
Copy !req
1239. Would you like to go
to a hospital?
Copy !req
1240. Hospital won't fix me.
Copy !req
1241. But maybe you could, though.
Copy !req
1242. You could help.
Copy !req
1243. How?
Copy !req
1244. Well, at school,
Copy !req
1245. bring an object from each
of your classmates home to me.
Copy !req
1246. That might work.
Copy !req
1247. How will that make you better?
Copy !req
1248. It might be just what I need.
Copy !req
1249. And if you got better,
you'd go back home?
Copy !req
1250. If I got better...
Copy !req
1251. I'd go back home.
Copy !req
1252. Alex.
Copy !req
1253. What are you doing in here?
Copy !req
1254. Um, I didn't
feel like playing,
Copy !req
1255. and I forgot something.
Copy !req
1256. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hey, hey, hey.
Copy !req
1257. Are you okay?
Copy !req
1258. - Yeah.
- Yeah?
Copy !req
1259. You've been
awful quiet lately.
Copy !req
1260. Quieter than usual.
Copy !req
1261. How are you doing?
Copy !req
1262. I'm okay.
I just forgot something.
Copy !req
1263. It's okay.
Copy !req
1264. Alex, you know,
Copy !req
1265. if... you ever want to talk
to someone,
Copy !req
1266. you can always talk to me.
Copy !req
1267. Do you know that?
Copy !req
1268. Yeah.
Copy !req
1269. You can talk to me
about anything you want.
Copy !req
1270. I wanna go back now.
Copy !req
1271. Okay. Go play.
Copy !req
1272. What are you doing?
Copy !req
1273. No...
Copy !req
1274. Stephen here suffered
a stroke a little while back,
Copy !req
1275. so he's unable to speak.
Copy !req
1276. And I'm taking care of
the family for the time being.
Copy !req
1277. I'm glad you both are here.
Copy !req
1278. Alex, how are you doing, pal?
Copy !req
1279. I'm okay.
Copy !req
1280. Now, we're gonna ask you
some questions
Copy !req
1281. about what happened
at school, okay?
Copy !req
1282. Tomorrow,
people will come here.
Copy !req
1283. And they will search
this house...
Copy !req
1284. and we have to be ready.
Copy !req
1285. Detective, come in!
Copy !req
1286. Good morning, Ms. Lilly.
Copy !req
1287. - How are you today?
- Fine.
Copy !req
1288. - Good to see you again.
- Nice to see you too.
Copy !req
1289. - Remember Detective Colbert?
- Oh, yes.
Copy !req
1290. We just wanted to come by the
house for a few minutes today
Copy !req
1291. and look around, uh,
Copy !req
1292. see the environment
that Alex has been living in.
Copy !req
1293. And just get an idea of what
the family dynamic is like.
Copy !req
1294. - Okay!
- Oh. Thank you.
Copy !req
1295. And... Oh.
Copy !req
1296. Hey, Alex.
How are you doing today?
Copy !req
1297. He's a little quiet today, right?
Copy !req
1298. - Mm-hmm. Yes, he is.
- Okay.
Copy !req
1299. Hello?
Copy !req
1300. Pack your things, Alex,
we're leaving tomorrow.
Copy !req
1301. Don't step over the salt.
Copy !req
1302. The cops are here.
What do you think that means?
Copy !req
1303. I don't know.
Copy !req
1304. Do we knock? Do we come back?
Copy !req
1305. Maybe we knock.
Copy !req
1306. And say what? What...
What are we gonna explain?
Copy !req
1307. Yeah, I don't know.
Copy !req
1308. - Let's just...
- Here we go.
Copy !req
1309. Hey, what is this?
Copy !req
1310. Is that the cop?
Copy !req
1311. That's Paul.
Copy !req
1312. - You know him?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
1313. Hello?
Copy !req
1314. Paul?
Copy !req
1315. Paul,
what are you doing back there?
Copy !req
1316. Wait.
Copy !req
1317. Fuck! Fuck!
Copy !req
1318. Stay fucking back!
Copy !req
1319. Paul.
Copy !req
1320. Paul, stop.
Copy !req
1321. Stop!
Copy !req
1322. God.
Copy !req
1323. Goddamn it.
Copy !req
1324. You goddamn freaky little...
Copy !req
1325. Paul. Please.
Copy !req
1326. Please.
Copy !req
1327. Matthew?
Copy !req
1328. Matthew!
Copy !req
1329. No.
Copy !req
1330. Matthew.
Copy !req
1331. No.
Copy !req
1332. Matthew?
Copy !req
1333. Come on.
Copy !req
1334. Matthew?
Copy !req
1335. Who...
Copy !req
1336. That's good.
Just like that.
Copy !req
1337. That's the way.
Copy !req
1338. Oh, no.
Copy !req
1339. Oh, God!
Copy !req
1340. Get off of me! Get off of me!
Copy !req
1341. Matthew?
Copy !req
1342. Honey, look outside.
Copy !req
1343. Look what they did
to the yard.
Copy !req
1344. Jeremy,
there's glass everywhere.
Copy !req
1345. Find her shoe! My god!
Copy !req
1346. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
1347. Now there's a man
in the kitchen!
Copy !req
1348. Alex?
Copy !req
1349. Matthew?
Copy !req
1350. Oh, I found you.
Copy !req
1351. Alex's parents are still
Copy !req
1352. being fed soup somewhere.
Copy !req
1353. But not by him.
Copy !req
1354. He moved to another town and
lives with a different aunt.
Copy !req
1355. I heard that one
is a nice lady.
Copy !req
1356. All of the kids from his class
Copy !req
1357. got reunited
with their parents.
Copy !req
1358. Some of them even started
talking again this year.
Copy !req
