(dramatic tone)
(dramatic music)
(birds chirping)
(alarm chiming)
(soft groaning)
- Turn it off.
- Oh, shh, you love it.
- Turn it off.
Why can't you put that on your side of the bed?
- 'Cause then I don't get to do this.
- No.
No. - Come on, please.
- Please.
- (chuckling) Yes.
- No.
- And, yes. - No.
(soft music) (soft chuckling)
- See ya in a little bit I'm gonna go for a run.
- [Lilly] Hey, babe.
- In my office.
Hey, good morning.
- Good morning.
- What?
- Call me on your way back.
I got croissants and ETA eight minutes in the oven.
- Croissants, eh, fancy.
You're freezing.
I shouldn't be too long.
- All right. - Alright, I'll see you later.
(soft music)
Love you.
- Love you.
(dog barking)
(gentle music)
- Pretty beautiful, morning, huh?
- Yeah, it sure is.
- Good day. - You too.
(dramatic music)
(branching rustling)
(tense music)
(cellphone ringing)
(water splashing)
- Hi, this is Lilly Tarver.
Please leave a message
and I'll get back to you soon as you I can.
(soft gasping)
(loud thuds)
(dog barking)
Hey, babe I'm gonna guess and say you're on your way back.
So, if I'm wrong, let me know.
Otherwise I'll see you in a few, love ya.
(hysterical screaming)
- Time of death was approximately 6:30 a.m.
Get them out of here.
- Yeah, we said hi to each other,
and we had a conversation.
Oh, my god, I can't believe this is happening to me.
- Please go. - Alright.
- Fine. - Thank you.
- Do you know what time-- - I feel sick.
I feel so sick.
- About an hour ago.
24 hours are you fucking crazy?
No, I am telling you something has happened to him.
This is not like him.
(cellphone ringing)
- Found it.
- [Alex] Who's this?
- This is Lilly Tarver.
I'm calling my husband Jeremy.
(somber music)
- There's just a few things I'd like to go over.
Jeremy's body was found at 6:45 a.m.,
and we believe the time of death was right before then
at approximately 6:30 a.m.
Jeremy suffered severe head trauma.
Mrs. Tarver, this isn't going to be easy to hear,
but Jeremy was also posthumously castrated.
- Excuse me.
- Is there anyone other than yourself
that would know when Jeremy went jogging
at what time this morning?
- Yeah, probably everybody.
He ran every morning.
- Did he have any enemies that you can think of?
Any recent arguments with anybody?
Anybody threaten to harm him?
- No.
No, Jeremy was married to his research, me.
- One other thing.
He works for a company I-Gen or IGen Electronics?
- Yes, they have a contract with JPL.
- Do you have any idea what he was working on?
- I don't know some new communication device, I think.
- Okay, that was very helpful.
Thank you.
- The police are gonna.
You know, they're gonna catch the
psychopath asshole who did this.
I know it.
This is crazy, right?
- You know what's really sad besides, you know, everything.
- What?
- He tried to call me
right before it happened, I think.
But he didn't leave a message.
I just got a missed call.
I just keep wishing so hard that he had,
so I could hear his voice.
- Oh, sweetie.
Well, there's two.
- What?
- There's two missed calls from Jeremy.
- That can't be right.
- Well, maybe you just remembered it wrong.
When's the last time you checked your phone?
- This morning.
- Well, a lot has happened since then.
You know, so maybe you just don't remember it right.
See look.
The first missed call is at 6:29 a.m.
Second missed call is at 7:01 a.m.
- It has to be wrong.
- Why?
- The police said Jeremy died at 6:30
and his body was found at 6:45.
- Well, it was a beautiful service, you know
and you did so good.
I love that you told that story about Jeremy
how he almost burned the house down on your first date.
I remember that.
- Remember when we dragged you to Big Bear?
He almost burned that rental.
- Yeah.
- And then he took that cooking course, so.
- Well, yeah, 'cause he wanted to make you happy
and he did, right, he made you happy.
- Yeah, he did.
- Okay, well, I'm gonna go.
Are you okay?
- Yeah, thank you.
- Okay, and I'll call you later.
- Okay.
Who is that?
- Who?
- You didn't see her?
- Uh-huh, no.
Oh, but don't worry, okay.
'Cause you know funerals
people just come out of the wood work.
- Hey, Lilly, just if you want
I can pack up Jeremy's laptop
and his other personal belongings
and bring them over here.
- That'd be great, thanks.
- You know, I should probably check out
some of his stuff here just in case
there're any details that pertain to the project.
- His office is a bit of a mess right now.
- Yeah, no hurry, no hurry.
Do the police think that it was someone he knew or?
It's just absurd.
Seems like a freak killing to me.
I mean who would want Jeremy dead.
- Okay, you know what now is not the time
to try to solve the case.
- Yeah. - Right.
- Yeah, we were just talking.
- Right.
- Okay.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- I'll walk you out. - Yeah, yeah.
(soft sobbing)
(somber music)
(soft knocking)
- [Lilly] Is something new, a suspect?
- There is something.
Two years ago we found the bodies
of a couple Claire and Richard Fawner
in one of the more secluded Griffith Park trails.
A similar M/O to Jeremy's with severe head trauma
and post mortem removal genitalia.
And we also found this.
It's Sanskrit.
It means continuous flow.
The repeating cycle of life, death, and rebirth.
- You didn't mention there was
anything like this on Jeremy's body.
- Well, we didn't understand what it meant at the time.
- Jeremy was attacked by a serial killer.
- Claire and Richard Fawner were
well, known to be swingers?
The M/O is so similar.
I need to know if you and Jeremy.
- Jeremy and I were in a strictly monogamous relationship.
We had a very nice, normal sex life.
- All right.
Thank you.
I can see myself out.
Thanks for the coffee.
(dramatic music)
(cellphone ringing)
- Hello.
(wind blowing swiftly)
Who is this?
No, no.
- Do you know how easy it is
to fake call you from Jeremy's number?
It's like...
You know, like Hacking 101.
I'm sure that anybody with a laptop can do it.
Like Skype you just pick out
a number that you wanna call with.
Or maybe the phone company just already reassigned it.
- That seems really unlikely.
I mean who would be so cruel to do this to me?
- Well, what about Jeremy's ex-wife.
- [Lilly] I never met her.
- Exactly.
You know, maybe she's the one with the sick sense of humor.
- I don't know.
It just didn't feel like a prank call.
- Well, what did it feel like?
- Like,
Jeremy.
- Yeah, because.
Because that's what you want it to be.
Sweetie, just do me a favor.
Okay, before you pull out the Ouija boards
and before you light this whole house up with candles,
can you just call the phone company and check it out, okay?
- Yeah.
- Oh, and hey, you know next month
we're having a group showing at the gallery.
Maybe you could submit something.
- I haven't felt like painting.
- I know, I know I just...
I thought it would help you.
- You might be right.
I should try.
- Yeah.
Here, honey, I want you to take some tea.
You're gonna be okay.
- Yeah. - Gonna be okay.
- Yeah.
- I'm gonna call that phone company.
- [Male] Ma'am, I'm sorry are you there?
- No, I have been on hold forever.
- [Male] Yeah, I wish I could help you.
But there's nothing we could do.
- Yes, I closed his account August 21st.
- [Male] Yeah, well, looked, and it--
- No, I know it's closed and it shouldn't be working.
But can you think of any reason why it might be?
- [Male] Ma'am this is not my department.
I'd have to send a-- - No.
- [Male] Can you understand I have to talk to the tech team?
- Yeah, well, somebody is calling me from his number.
- [Male] Ma'am, you're talking to the wrong person here.
- Yes, from his number.
- [Male] Can you please hold?
- Fine, I will hold.
- Ma'am. - Yeah.
- [Male] There's been no calls, ma'am.
- So you're saying that no calls have been made
from his number since August 21st?
- [Male] There's been no calls, ma'am.
- You're sure?
- [Male] Let me give you a case number
and we can talk to someone--
- No, I don't need a case number.
- [Male] 8-6.
- Fine.
- [Male] J-0-4-9-0-K-L-J-6.
- Okay, yeah.
- [Male] Yeah, I'm sorry, ma'am there's nothing we can do.
- Thank you.
Ghosts.
Okay.
Dennis Faxson, Voices From Beyond by Telephone
the results of a two year investigation into a
previously unexplored paranormal and paraphysical.
It is my plan to continue researching
anomalous telephone experiences
and build awareness of this neglected phenomenon.
Dennis.
Perfect.
- [Dennis] Lily Tarver.
- Yes, and you're...
You're Dennis.
- Faxson.
So, I know who you are.
You know who I am.
I know what you think is happening to you.
What can I do for you. - What do you mean what I
I think is happening to me?
I'm one of those cases you've written about.
- No, no you think you're one of those cases.
- I don't think.
I know.
You wrote about people having
actual conversations with someone
who had turned out to be deceased.
- The people on the receiving end didn't know
the person they were talking to was dead, you knew.
- Okay, but you also wrote that these calls
were sometimes messages or warnings from the beyond.
- I get people like you every once in a while,
and trust me 99% of the time it's either
a dream, a hallucination, or a hoax.
- Wow.
You really are an asshole.
I imagine it must be difficult
researching something so rare.
I bet you started out all wide eyed and hopeful,
and then came one disappointment after the next.
And suddenly one day you find yourself
a little bitter, resentful.
So you start acting like a jerk
because then at least you get to be
the one doing the disappointing.
- Let me recap this for you.
Since the invention of the telephone until the present day
there have been a total of 50 cases worldwide.
That's about a 100 years of humanity making phone calls.
Billions, trillions of phone calls,
text massages, voicemails
I don't even know 50 next to that,
50 that's nothing.
It's a drop in the ocean.
- Whatever.
- Mrs. Tarver, hold on?
All I'm saying is that
given the nature in which the way your husband died,
you may wanna consider that whoever
or whatever it is could be coming for you next.
And one more thing.
You've called the phone company,
but do you have your husband's cellphone?
- No, it's still in evidence.
- Here.
Write down any information you might have.
The lead detective's name, station
what else you can think of.
- What are you gonna steal it?
- I'm glad I give you that impression.
- Thank you.
- And down the line any kind of
concrete proof that you might have
that these phone calls are actually happening
in your I'm sure very vivid imagination,
that would help too, okay.
It's been a pleasure.
- Oh, you can use an app.
The recorder app records my phone calls.
Got it.
- [Alex] Mrs. Tarver, this is Detective Becker.
Are you by any chance by your computer?
I just emailed you something
well, I'd like you to take a look at.
It's a photograph in the file.
- [Lilly] Who's the guy in the photo?
- [Alex] That's Rudger Stanton.
He works in real estate.
- Did he know Jeremy?
- [Alex] He was very well acquainted
with the previous two victims.
I thought maybe it was worth a shot.
- Did he admit to being very well
acquainted with my husband?
- [Alex] Ugh.
- That's impossible he's lying.
- [Alex] It's possible he's not.
- I mean are you just gonna wait
for the next body to show up?
Will that move your investigation along further?
- [Alex] I know it's frustrating, but--
- Thank you, detective.
(soft knocking)
Jeremy's phone.
Dennis, you're good.
No service available.
That's what I thought.
Tim Warner.
Work, home.
Parker.
- I don't think there are any other personal belongings,
but whatever Gus found I told him to pack up for you.
- [Lilly] Thanks for bringing it over.
- Yeah, yeah, of course.
We were so close.
Only a few more weeks
and he would've seen the first prototype.
If it works NASA will be the first in line.
- That's great.
- Yeah.
- He didn't really tell me all the details.
It's a quantum communicator.
- Cryptography, yeah.
I won't bore you with all the details,
but we used quantum particles of light particles
to secure cyber communication.
So far that's only be successful with
distances over a 100 miles or so.
We're looking at space.
- That's big. - Yeah.
- [Lilly] Space.
- Yeah, it's pretty cool.
- Well, I guess if anyone could figure out
how to communicate through the ether,
it would've been Jeremy.
- For sure, yeah.
You know, I heard that he put your name
on the patent as a sort of life insurance.
- [Lilly] Really.
- Yeah, yeah, I'd look into that.
- I will.
Do you mind if...
I'd like to go through this on my own.
- [Parker] Yeah, of course, of course.
If you need anything else, just give me a call again.
- I will. - Okay.
- [Lilly] Thanks.
- Yeah.
(soft music)
(telephone dialing)
- [Rudger] Hello.
Hello.
(cellphone ringing)
- Yes.
- [Rudger] We got disconnected.
- Who are you?
- [Rudger] You called me.
I thought you'd know.
- I do kind of know.
- [Rudger] You're new to this.
- (sighing) Yeah.
- [Rudger] Who put you in touch with us?
- Claire.
- [Rudger] That must have been a long time ago.
You know she passed on.
- I know.
It was a while ago.
I never could quite get the courage up to actually call.
- [Rudger] Why now?
- I don't know.
I'm alone now.
I could use some human contact.
I'm really quite lost.
- [Rudger] You don't have to feel that way.
Come by a Saturday night 8:00
119 Ridgeway Road.
It's in-- - Sherman Oaks.
- [Rudger] Yes.
- [Lilly] Should I bring anything?
- [Rudger] Vaseline, your favorite whip, anything latex.
I'm kidding.
Really, kidding.
Just bring yourself.
- [Lilly] Okay, I will.
- [Rudger] I'm looking forward to meeting you.
- Me too.
(cellphone ringing)
Jeremy.
Jeremy, is that you?
Whoever you are I'm tracking you,
and I'm gonna make you pay for this.
This isn't funny anymore.
And, Jeremy, if this is really you,
then fuck you, you piece of shit.
I don't know who you are or were,
and I don't know what you're trying to tell me.
But I don't ever wanna talk to you ever again.
Just fuck you.
(soft knocking)
- Hi.
- Hello.
- Welcome to the love nest of decadence.
- You're beautiful.
- (sighing) Thank you.
- Love away.
- We spoke on the phone.
I'm Rudger Stanton.
- I'm Danielle Smith.
- You seem nervous.
- That's because I am.
- [Rudger] You don't have to do anything you don't wanna do.
- I don't really see anybody doing much of anything.
- It's early,
and we're in the wrong section of the house.
Angel, this is, Danielle.
- Pleasure to meet you.
- If you'll excuse me.
- Are you married?
- I was.
I'm with Rudger now.
- Your husband did he ever approve?
So, how do we get started?
- There's an initiation when you're ready.
- Should I have brought my checkbook?
- Not that kind.
- It's a spiritual kind.
We like to see things as they
pertain for a rebirth.
- But I'm agnostic.
- It has nothing to do with religion.
Although I am partial to the Buddhist's philosophy.
No, we cater to people's base needs,
who we really are.
If you'll follow us, please.
Your body needs acknowledgement just like your mind.
(soft moaning)
You nourish your mind with literature, music, or art.
You have to nourish your instincts too.
- What about love?
- It's all about love.
(people moaning)
- He did this?
He fucked you, didn't he?
I can't do this.
(soft sobbing)
I don't ever wanna talk to you ever again.
Fuck you.
What do you think?
- Remind me to never get on your bad side.
- Do you think it's a hoax?
- I'm not sure.
Yeah, a lot of early research into this phenomenon
had to be taken at face value.
There was one other case that was similar to yours
that I was privy too myself,
and that person didn't have your ingenuity.
They used a camcorder.
No connection between the two apparatus.
Nobody could track the signal,
and the recording itself was rather weak.
Other cases that seemed legitimate at best,
the person on the receiving end usually described
great winds that seemed like they were coming
from a very far, distant place.
- That's exactly how I would describe this.
- Oh, I would too.
- You thought I was a fraud.
- I thought you were hysterical broad
with a very excentric coping mechanism.
- So how long does this usually go on for?
- Well, that really depends.
There was one woman who reported
to talk to her deceased friend for about a year.
- Is there any other way for him to get in contact with me?
- Well, it seems phone is his device of choice.
Of course, there's many other avenues.
You can put the television on
the static black and white channels
like the little girl in Poltergeist,
it's always a fan favorite.
Ouija, otherwise known as the spirit board,
recording electronic voice phenomena
whatever you feel comfortable with.
- Okay.
So, what's next?
- I'll track
the origin of the call,
and for now just try to take note of
how long the phone call is, at what time of day.
There's two reasons why the deceased
would wanna resume contact
comfort and regret.
With the unusual passing of your husband,
there could be a third.
- Which is?
- Revenge.
(dramatic music)
You paint?
- Um, yeah.
- You mind if I take a look?
These are incredible.
Where'd you study?
- I didn't.
I just sort of learned on my own.
- What's next?
- Good question.
Just not really feeling it these days.
- Of course.
- Jeremy always cheered me on,
but now that he's gone
I don't know anymore.
- Well, I don't know shit about art,
but these are pretty amazing.
- Thank you.
(soft knocking)
What did you forget?
What are you doing here?
- You didn't think the wig fooled anybody, did you?
I thought we could talk.
- About what?
- About Jeremy and you.
- You're his ex-wife.
- He didn't tell you anything about me, did he?
- No, nothing actually.
- [Angel] And you never asked.
- It was never an issue.
- Can I come in?
Thank you.
Cute place.
So cozy.
- You wanted to talk, talk.
- I'm sorry about the other night.
I forget how it may feel for someone new.
It must have been so shocking.
- I'm not a prude.
- I didn't think you were.
- I guess it was shocking.
I mean I haven't kissed anybody
but Jeremy in over six years.
- That's terrible.
You must be angry.
- Why did he keep going?
What did he get out of it?
- We were only married for a year.
It was an intense year.
But ultimately we had very different ideas of marriage.
Sex was another story.
He kept going because it was a safe place to experiment.
For Rudger the act is more about connectivity,
reaching for a higher state of consciousness.
Not just for the kicks.
- Why couldn't I be enough?
- It's not that you weren't enough.
Jeremy put you on a pedestal.
You were to be untouched and unharmed by the rest of us.
He couldn't imagine you with anybody else, could you?
- Wow, that's really fucking hypocritical of him.
- He talked about you all the time.
We were dying to meet you.
- What do you want?
- I want you to come back.
- I don't think I'm that kind of person.
- Everybody says that until they do something
that they never thought they could.
You're going through this all alone.
We can be there for you.
If not sexually, emotionally.
We're always there for Jeremy.
We can be the same for you.
- I'm not alone.
- I hope that you change your mind.
- Nothing at all.
- [Alex] Everybody checks out.
Solid alibis, no motives, not even rumors.
But you did know that man whose picture I sent you?
- He's dating my husband's ex-wife.
- [Alex] We weren't aware of the personal connection.
I didn't know you were in touch with him.
- I'm not.
I just know.
- [Alex] Mrs. Tarver, even though everybody checks out,
it might be putting yourself in serious danger.
It's very possible that somebody
outside the group is targeting you.
Either way it's not a good idea to get involved.
- I know.
Thank you for the update.
Jeremy.
(cellphone ringing)
(heavy sighing)
What are you trying to tell me?
You're tying to drive me crazy?
Are you trying to warn me?
(cellphone ringing)
Should I go back to Rudger's house?
Jeremy, it's the only lead left.
Are you jealous?
(cellphone ringing)
(wind blowing swiftly)
- [Jeremy] Hi.
- Jeremy.
- [Jeremy] Hi.
- Jeremy.
Baby.
(soft knocking)
- You're looking pretty good.
- Thanks, I'm feeling better.
- Thank you.
So, I verified the connection,
and it's definitely not coming from a traceable source.
It doesn't have a base station.
- Phew.
- In layman's terms
it's not coming from anything earthly.
- Really.
- You feeling scientifically vindicated yet?
(soft chuckling)
- A little bit.
- I just...
This whole thing is incredible.
I might have to write a book about you.
- Oh, really.
- But then again I'd have to spend a lot more time with you.
You know, get to know your back story and all.
- Right.
- I love Chai.
(gentle music)
(locks engaging)
(gentle music)
- So glad you could make it.
Drink.
- Thank you.
- It's perfect timing.
Tonight is Nikita and Victor's initiating night.
- So what happens?
- We sacrifice a virgin.
(soft chuckling)
Come.
- Victor, Nikita we're happy to have you in our midst.
During our lives, we go through several stages of existence.
You are in samsara,
a continuous flow of life, death,
and rebirth.
By joining this family,
you become part of a greater spiritual consciousness.
Are you ready to be born anew
to start this day
a new journey
with this family?
- Yes.
- Yeah.
- We welcome you.
You're no longer mere seekers.
But Dedicants.
(sultry music)
(soft moaning)
(people moaning softly)
(sultry music)
(alarm chiming)
(crickets chirping)
(branches rustling)
(dramatic music)
(cellphone ringing)
- Hello.
(soft thud)
(tense music)
(soft gasping)
(loud scream)
(soft gasping)
(suspenseful music)
(telephones blaring)
(dramatic music)
Parker
(heavy breathing)
- [Alex] How are you doing?
- Okay.
- You said you got a phone call,
some kind of warning that woke you up.
- Yes.
What's that?
- This is a very sophisticated cellphone blocker,
a modern day equivalent of cutting wires.
No calls could have been made or received
from any cellphones in this house.
- I guess not.
- Maybe it was just an alarm.
(door closing softly)
- [Dennis] I came as soon as I could.
You okay?
- Yeah, I'll be okay.
Um, this is Detective Becker.
- Hi, I'm Dennis.
- [Lilly] He's a friend.
- Nice to meet you.
- Yeah, you too.
I'm impressed.
The phones were unplugged.
I mean there's no explanation to this.
Once again I'm at a loss.
You're painting again?
- Trying to.
Yeah.
- That's good.
I mean you're talented so.
I don't think there's any
good way of asking you or good time.
Do you wanna go for a bite to eat
or a coffee or something?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I'd like that.
I mean don't I gotta eat, right?
- That's good, it's good to have to eat.
I hear it's good for you.
- Parker fell into a coma this morning.
- Did he say anything?
- There was a bit of a patent dispute
over the quantum cryptography communication's project
with you as the beneficiary.
Parker believed that he was also entitled
to at least half of the ownership.
He and your husband had been heard
and seen arguing about it for months.
- But why did he break into the house?
- He thought it was here at home,
and that you would finally find it
and file it on Jeremy's behalf
unwittingly cutting Parker out all together.
- Do you think he had anything to do with Jeremy's death.
- He had the motive and no alibi.
- But what about the markings, the castration?
- Parker was close enough to Jeremy to
possibly know about his extra-marital activities
that and how some of the members of the
swinger's group were killed in the past.
- Just sounds a bit extreme
to go through all that for a patent.
- For a communications contract worth billions
and billions of dollars people have killed for a lot less.
I think as far as Jeremy's concerned, we found our man.
(cellphone ringing)
(wind blowing swiftly)
- Jeremy.
Jeremy, the police caught Parker.
You know how much I miss you.
(soft music)
I have to move on.
All those secrets you kept from me
I know you did it to protect me.
I wish we could have been honest about everything.
But I'm starting to understand why you did what you did.
I love you.
I'll always love you.
- [Rudger] Are you ready to be born anew
to live this day
your new journey with this family?
- [Lilly] Yes.
- [Rudger] Then we welcome you.
You're no longer a mere seeker,
but a Dedicant.
(people moaning softly)
(soft moaning)
- Orgasmic.
- Short, fleeting, and not worth the effort.
- [Lilly] Doesn't have to be.
- You must be relieved, huh?
Now that they caught Parker.
- He's still in a coma.
- [Isabel] Do they know if he'll make it?
- No idea.
- Can I ask you something?
How was it, burying the cellphones?
- It wasn't easy.
I mean part of me wanted to hang onto it,
but I knew it was the right thing to do.
- Yeah, and the patent?
- The lawyers are finalizing.
NASA picked it up.
It looks like a lot of money,
and, you know, now I can put this all behind me
and move on with my life.
- I'm so proud of you.
- Well, it's been a process.
Uh-huh?
- Are you seeing anybody?
- Sort of.
- [Isabel] What sort of?
Come on that's all you're gonna say?
- Okay, okay, I know it's soon.
- Yeah.
- His name is Dennis.
We're actually going on our first date tonight,
and I have to change but I have something for you hold on.
- Okay.
Wow, you did this?
- [Lilly] Yeah, I know it's different.
- Yeah, it's not, you know, how you usually...
(soft stammering)
This is quite a statement.
- (chuckling) It's intense I know.
But I think it'll look really good in the gallery.
- Right, I'm gonna find a
a really safe place for it.
It's the new you, huh?
- It's the new me.
- [Isabel] Okay, wow.
- Closure.
(dramatic music)
(soft gasping)
- Well, that was nice.
- Yeah, I had a good time.
- Yeah, so did I.
- Maybe we can do it again sometime?
- I'd like that.
Well, huh.
- Well.
- I'll see you soon.
- See you soon.
- [Alex] I thought you should know
Parker White died this afternoon.
- [Lilly] I'm sorry.
- [Alex] There's been another homicide.
Her name was Nikita Washington.
- Nikita.
- [Alex] Do you know her?
- How did she die?
- [Alex] The some M/O as Jeremy
only this time nobody interrupted.
How exactly did you know her?
- I don't just the name.
- [Alex] Please be safe.
- Yes, I will.
Thank you, detective.
- Poor, poor Nikita.
- Someone's targeting us.
- What do you mean?
- Don't you see, Jeremy, Nikita, Richard, and Claire?
He removes their sexual organs.
He makes fun of your philosophy
by carving it into their skin.
All of the victims have been part of this group.
If it's not someone within the group,
it's someone watching us.
- I'm not gonna change who I am
because someone's trying to scare us
back into an age of Victorian repression.
- Maybe we could not meet for a while
and let the police handle things.
- Not meet I don't know what that's gonna accomplish
if he already knows who we are.
- We can't act out of fear.
I'm sorry I was eavesdropping.
- Someone is targeting the members of this group.
I think acting out of fear is a pretty smart idea.
- But Angel's right.
Until we catch this son of a bitch
we're no more safer alone than we are together.
- I'm sorry.
I can't come back.
- Maybe this isn't about you.
Maybe it's about someone else you care about.
Not very hard to figure out.
- No, I came here to warn you.
It's too dangerous.
I can't.
I want you to know that I did have a really good time,
and I see why Jeremy couldn't stay away.
- I was hoping we were more than a really good time.
Maybe a family.
- You were.
- I'm glad to hear that.
- I'm sorry.
- [Angel] I'm gonna miss you a lot.
- [Lilly] Me too.
(gentle music)
- [Dennis] Okay.
(soft chuckling)
- Watch out for that-- - Tree.
- Can't see can you?
- I can see anything I promise.
- All right, all right.
- Dr. Dennis Freedman, who would've thought you were
capable of such grand gestures.
- I surprise myself sometimes.
- It's lovely.
- You're lovely.
No, you didn't.
- I totally did.
I stared at that screen for like an hour.
Any one more minute and I probably would've been sucked in.
- Well, it's a great movie, isn't it?
I can't believe you listened to me.
- I always listen to you.
Look there's...
There's something I need to tell you.
- Okay.
- It's just something I did for a little while,
and I think you should know.
- All right.
Whatever it is I'm fine with it I'm sure.
Bring it on.
(soft squishing) (tense music)
- Why are you people so hell bent on making me do this?
You're just like the rest of the
repressed fucking people in this world.
How you find it so easy just to
walk away from those that you gave your word to.
- Is that why, because they all wanted to leave?
- Well, Nikita was weak.
She just needed a call from her Catholic father
to remind her of sin.
Now Jeremy on the other hand was a little different.
See, he had a decade of devotion
and all of a sudden he wanted to start a family.
- What are you talking about?
- You agreed to have rebirth.
We gave you rebirth.
Now I'm gonna take it away.
- Don't you think you should disclose these house rules.
Who in their right mind would do any of this
if the only out was to be slaughtered?
You're crazy.
(suspenseful music)
No.
(soft gasping)
No.
Wait, wait.
- You bitch.
(cellphone ringing)
Who's here?
- It's Jeremy.
- Jeremy's dead.
(suspenseful music)
(soft squishing)
(gentle music)
(soft sobbing)
(soft music)
- [Lilly] Last one.
- This better be it.
- It's not too heavy?
- No, no, no I got it, okay.
Oh, hi, detective, yeah.
- Hi, there.
- Hi.
- I was just in the neighborhood.
Thought I'd stop and see how you were.
- Much better, thank you.
- Good.
Do you need help or a hand?
- No, movers will be here in an hour,
so no need to break a sweat.
- Take good care of yourself all right.
- I will.
- Good luck. - Thank you.
- You're welcome.
(gentle music)
(dramatic music)
(cellphone chiming)
- Hello.
- [Rudger] Hi.
