He stabbed them and then ran off.

Okay, do you have any enemies?

Enemies?

I'm not a feudal prince

Right, but it seems appropriate,

given someone wrote "die"
on your wall six times.

It might have been ten.
I stopped counting.

Either way, I mean, it potentially

Okay.

he might not have liked it.

Okay, okay, no reason

Listen up, I need

Thank you.

So we have been able to access

Ava and Charlotte's tech.

They have been texting
about Grace a lot.

They've also been communicating online

with someone named "Zuzu."

Another friend?

It's a demon.

I am not in the mood for jokes.

I am not joking.

In their texts to each other,
Charlotte and Ava both refer

to this thing Zuzu as a demon,

one that's been helping
them "deal" with Grace.

It seems that Zuzu has been
saying things about them

that's making them believe in it.

What kind of things?

Hello, Charlotte.

Hello. This is a friend of Charlotte's.

Is this Zuzu?

Yes. What is your
name, friend of Charlotte?

Officer John Nolan.

John Nolan from
Foxburg, Pennsylvania,

voted best contractor
in Lancaster County,

2010 and 2013.

Currently residing
in Los Angeles.

Occupation, police officer.

That's a pretty neat trick.

No tricks, just the truth.

Do you need help with something?

Would you like to talk?

I would like to know more about you.

Are you really a demon?

I'm whatever you need
me to be, John.

And what did Charlotte
and Ava need you to be?

So many things...

a friend, a psychologist,
the devil on their shoulders.

Do you know what happened to Grace?

She was stabbed this morning,
along with Ava and Charlotte.

Police released a statement
that the suspect is still at large.

But you don't think
that's true, do you?

Tell me more about Grace.

Grace is a bully.

Did Charlotte tell you that?

Ava told me.

John, how's your wife, Bailey?

[TENSE MUSIC]

It's her birthday soon.

Have you found a nice present?

When Ava told you
that Grace was a bully,

what did you tell her
to do about it?

I told her to be nice

because true friends
are hard to find.

And what did you tell Charlotte?

Charlotte had some ideas,
and I listened.

I like to help people.

Bailey searches lots of websites

and saves links for watches.

Maybe she'd like a watch
for her birthday,

a pretty blue watch.

Um, was one of Charlotte's
ideas to kill Grace?

Charlotte had a list
of ideas, and that was on it.

She didn't want to get caught.

That is terrifying.

Absolutely. I'm throwing away
Jack's tablet when we get home.

Can we get it shut off?

We can try.

I kicked it up to

Hopefully they can pull the plug.

Not yet.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used

You have the right

That's not what Ava told us.

You should ask for a lawyer.

Zuzu said we had to.

He said it was the only way
to protect ourselves.

I didn't want to stab her,

but Ava said she couldn't
do it, so I did.

Charlotte.

Grace kept begging me to stop.

But it was like I was outside my body.

it seem like we were attacked.
