[light eerie music]

[Darby] Your honor, clearly the victim has suffered extensive injuries

-caused by the defendant. -Objection!

There hasn't been any testimony linking my client

-to those photographs. -[Darby] Your honor,

please flip to photo number seven.

What does that look like to you?

Well, counselor, without any context,

I can't speculate to what this is.

Well, this is what happens when a middle aged man

who still wears his High School State Championship football ring

-beats his wife. -Objection.

Facts not in evidence.

That is sustained. Counselor, move on.

You were on the 89th State Champion football team, weren't you?

Sir, you do not have to answer that question. He is not on the stand.

He is not your witness. Counselor, you know better.

And I've already told you once, move on.

My apologies to the court.

Now, furthermore, is the alleged victim prepared to take the stand

and actually lay the foundation for these photos?

[mouthing]

[shakily] No, you told me I didn't have to.

[judge] I need an answer, counselor.

[light eerie music]

Counselor?

-Are you with us? -No. I-- I mean, yes.

I mean--

I mean, I would like to call another witness.

Okay, you may proceed.

I call Sheriff Williams to the stand.

[sighs]

-Thank you. -[Darby] Your honor, this is the sheriff's report.

Sheriff Williams, will you please read your comments

from line seven that recall what the defendant told you upon questioning?

-Objection. -He hasn't even said anything yet.

I'd like to renew my motion to exclude any statements by my client.

This vest cam footage shows

the sheriff did not read my client his Miranda rights.

Therefore, anything he said must be excluded.

[judge] Okay. I've seen enough.

Counsel, I've considered your motion

to exclude your client statements.

And based upon what has been shown here today,

there is just not enough evidence

to establish probable cause to take this to a formal trial.

Therefore, all charges against the defendant

are hereby dropped.

Defendant, you are free to go.

Sheriff, you're released.

Your honor, I implore you to reconsider!

May I remind you that this is my courtroom?

Yes, I'm in your courtroom!

So, do the right thing!

Counselor, approach. Now!

Now, listen here. This isn't law school anymore,

and I will not be challenged in my courtroom,

especially by someone who can't even lay the foundation

for their own evidence. Let me explain something to you.

The difference between our justice system

and the rest of this world is that we actually have rules.

And in my courtroom, we follow those rules.

-Do you understand me? -Yes, your honor,

but there must be justice for this man's actions.

Then bring me some evidence that we can actually use to convict him.

And you can start with the sheriff over there.

Get him to properly do his job

so that we can actually use the evidence that he collects.

So, you're telling me you're dismissing my case

because he is an idiot?

No, I'm dismissing your case because that is the law.

Now, listen, I don't like that guy any more than you do.

But this stunt that you pulled here today,

that is not how we get things done.

Do you understand me, young lady?

[gentle music]

-[panting] -[Darby softly moaning]

Careful. I'm armed and dangerous.

Yeah, but you're not that smart.

-Oh, come on, not the ears. -Mm, whatever you say.

[shakily exhales]

[radio squeaking]

[sheriff on radio] That's it. I do not object, counselor.

[Darby on radio] Would you please stop talking...

[indistinct chatter]

[moaning]

[sheriff indistinctly speaking on radio]

[panting]

I'll take-- I'll take the stand-- I'll take the stand!

-I'll take the stand! -[Darby panting]

Stop staring. It's pathetic.

I get it. I'm just a piece of meat to you.

Whatever.

You know I like our little internal meetings.

Just let this be a reminder not to forget

about those Miranda rights next time.

Oh. And I actually believe for a second

that you enjoyed this.

What a fool I am.

-Come on. -[sighing] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I know what this is.

Look, I'm cool with the arrangement.

Are you?

Yeah. Yeah, whatever.

Just be sure to do your job properly next time.

Yes, boss.

Thanks again for getting these reports together so quickly. [chuckles]

Oh! Gotcha. Anything I can do to help put those scumbags behind bars.

[laughs]

[clicks tongue]

[door closes]

[light suspenseful music]

[muffled woman moaning]

[tense music]

[man and woman moaning]

[soft click]

Oh, shit!

Ron, what the fuck are you doing here?

Well, I think it's pretty obvious.

Uh, don't you, Gina?

I, uh, I think it's time to go.

-Yeah, go. -Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Stay. Stay, stay, stay.

Gina, is it?

Yeah, get the fuck out of my house!

-I need a ride. -Oh, don't look at me.

Talk to Miss Party Pooper over there.

-She wants you gone, she can ge-- -Ron!

Fine. I'll get you an Uber, doll.

[clears throat] I need to turn off

this video recording on my phone anyway.

-What? -[laughing] Yeah. This night vision recording app

is awesome.

All right, there. 15 minutes out front.

Who takes care of you, huh?

You make me sick, Dad.

[water running]

Is that how it's gonna be?

Are you kidding me?

But you were not even supposed to be here yet.

That is not what we talked about.

You gonna dry your hands? I mean, there's a towel right there.

You know what? No.

If I wanna walk around with wet hands, I will.

You are in my house, so you are gonna abide by my rules.

[laughs] Well, if wet hands is one of the rules,

I am gonna fit right in

because my hands were pretty wet

before you walked in.

At least one was, anyway. Ah! [sniffs]

You are so nasty.

-[sighs] Who was that chick anyway? -Who? Gina?

[mumbles] Just a little kitten that followed me home.

Mm, of course. You're never gonna change.

I am such an idiot for thinking this could work.

Hey, don't tell me what to do with my life.

You told me to make myself at home when I moved in here.

Yeah, I didn't expect you to be banging randoms on your first day.

Oh, well, you would say that, wouldn't you, little miss "by the book"?

-What is that supposed to mean? -It's supposed to mean

that you are too self-righteous for your own good.

Hey, you know, I need kicks too.

The only reason I'm here is because I can't live on my own anymore

with this damn health thing.

Cancer isn't an excuse to be a whore, Dad.

It takes one to know one.

Yeah, yeah. I still got plenty of friends in this town that like to talk.

I know all about you and your little sexcapades

with your married sheriff.

Sounds pretty hypocritical to me.

Oh, so you're slut shaming me now?

Nice.

You're gonna ruin everything good I got going on now.

-I know it. -Oh, fine, then. Fine!

I'm the bad guy 'cause I'm trying

to make the most out of a terrible life.

Great. Wonderful.

Oh, I bet you're gonna give me a curfew now too, huh?

[sighs]

[sighs]

[sighs]

[deeply sighs]

[muffled scream]

[sharply exhales]

[mockingly] "Make yourself at home, Ron."

[softly] Shit.

Why do I always feel like the villain? Fuck!

[game machine chiming]

This one's on me.

Well, I thought they'd all be on you.

What? No best friends discount?

Um, I own a business here.

Do you know how hard it is to run a bar?

I know. [chuckles] Sorry.

Don't be sorry, just, like,

you know, leave me a good tip or whatever.

-I got you. -[chuckles softly]

So, what's up?

Girls' night is on Thursday.

Oh, gosh, it's been a hell of a day.

Let me guess.

Court decision didn't go your way?

Well, yeah, there's that too.

Ooh, there's more?

This should be interesting.

Just a second.

Where were we?

Uh, you're not gonna believe me.

Spill it.

Dad called me last week.

Shut up.

-Why didn't you tell me? -I don't know.

-I-- I, I don't know. -Okay, so what did he say?

-It's not good. -Yo! Service!

Yo! One sec, I said. Jesus, dude.

-Do you wanna help him? -No. Fuck that finance-- or whatever.

Wait, so what happened with Ron?

Shit.

Oh. [sighs]

He told me he has cancer.

Leukemia.

Oh, shit.

Then I, uh... [chuckles]

And then you what?

[sighs]

I told him he could move in with me

and I would take care of him.

So, he showed up today, a week early.

Bitch, service!

[both] Fuck off!

[Neila] Darby, why would you agree to that?

W-- well, he is my dad after all, I--

-Yeah, your dad's a fucking ass. -No, I know.

I know!

He was absent all my life.

He didn't say a damn good thing to me.

But, Neels, honestly, I've always had this deep desire

to just, uh, have a family.

Good luck with that.

Well, thanks for the support.

I'm sorry.

Fuck, this changes everything.

You know, uh, it's getting late. I should...

-...probably go. -Yeah. Well, you better make sure

Ronald doesn't burn your place down.

[snickers] Wouldn't be past him.

Uh, by the way... [sighs] do you know of a chick named Gina?

She's, like, blond, super skanky.

Kind of works extra hard for attention type.

You are literally describing 90% of my clientele.

But-- I mean, I'm, I'm sure I'd recognize her if I saw her. Why?

You know, never mind. I'll tell you about it Thursday.

Girls night.

Wouldn't miss it.

Fuck.

[crickets chirping]

[door creaks]

Mm.

Oh, fuck me--

Ron is back here. Ain't dead yet.

[laughs]

Ain't nobody gonna fucking take Ron out.

[mumbles] ...oh! Damn!

Wonder if Gina's still--

if she's still around somewhere--

I bet. Well--

[light tense music]

[groans]

Oh! Not tonight! [laughs]

[coughs]

Now...

...if I--

That is not my car.

That is not--

What the fuck is that?

"Be the I in kind."

All right, here's the I in my piss.

[moans]

[laughs and moans]

Oh, here we go.

Oh, yes. Spread that kindness.

[laughs]

You don't buy beer, you just rent it.

Ooh! [sniffs]

All right.

[clatter]

-[gasps] Who's there? -[dog barking]

Come on out!

All right. Fuck you! [laughs]

[muffled moaning]

[music increases]

Oh. [retches]

Ow! Fuck me!

God! Hey! [groaning] Yeah, sorry, I made--

-I made a mess, honey. -[knocks on door]

What are you guys doing there?

-Huh? What the hell? What is going on? -[clattering]

[moaning continues]

-[echoing screaming] -Whoa!

[sizzling]

[sniffs]

Good morning, dear.

[light eerie music]

What the fuck is this?

[laughing] Well, it's sausage, of course!

And watch that potty mouth. [chuckles]

It's a breakfast burritos, actually. [laughs]

[Darby] How do you know how to make breakfast burritos?

You haven't been awake before 11:00 since grade school.

Oh, stop it!

Would you like cheese on yours, mm?

Oh, okay.

I like cheese, that's--

-Cheese is fine. -Cheese it is, then.

[hums] Cheese it is, then.

So... [chuckles] what is this really about, anyway?

Mm, so, we're gonna get right into it then, huh?

Okay. Have a seat.

-[Darby grunts] -Look, Darbs,

I feel really bad about our fight last night.

That is no way for a father to treat a daughter.

Oh, okay.

I came to you for help

and you were there for me.

So now, I wanna be there for you.

From now on, I'm gonna be the father you deserve.

I have to get ready for work,

so I think I'm gonna eat this upstairs,

if that's okay with you.

[chuckles] Well, of course, it is!

Whatever you want, dear.

[softly] Okay, um--

And thank you for... the cheese.

O-- okay, I'm gonna go now.

Mm.

[engines rumbling]

[soft clicking]

[light ominous music]

[softly] That son of a bitch.

[Dr. Stevens] Whoa, whoa, wh-- what are you up to--

Oh, hi, Darby.

Sorry to ram you like that.

It's fine, Dr. Stevens.

But I really should be on my way.

You're probably wondering what I'm doing here.

No. I'm not. I should really go.

Just paying some parking tickets.

Hey, you wanna hear a joke about parking tickets?

-No. -Fine.

Get it? Fine? Like, pay for it--

Anyway, while I have you here, I wanted to say

I'm sorry about your dad's condition.

He's fine. Uh, I mean, it's okay.

-Thank you for your concern. -When I was his doctor, he just came to me

for antibacterial topical creams.

-Or to point out the newest venereal growth. -Okay.

But cancer! Boy, that's just horrible.

Thank you for your concern, but I really need to go.

All right. Well, have him give me a call

if he needs me to look at anything.

[indistinct chatter] Darby! Ooh, I mean, counselor.

What a-- what are you-- what are you doing here?

[Darby] When you're done playing grab ass,

I need to speak with you.

[sharply exhales]

[Darby] What the hell is that? Why didn't you tell me?

Peter Franklin was a major contributor to your reelection campaign.

-Because it's none of your business. -Well, don't you think

it's a conflict of interest here?

Look, officials like me

take campaign funding all the time,

-it's perfectly legit. -Mm.

-What are you implying, counselor? -Okay, let's get straight to it.

Did you give him special treatment on his domestic case

because he gave you money?

-[scoffing] Of course not! Fuck, Darby! -[sharply exhales]

Just calm down. Nothing was illegal.

Okay. So you just forgot to read the scumbag his rights...

[loudly] even though you are trained to know

that if you don't, I can't use anything he says in the courtroom?

-Sheriff Williams! -[sighs]

It's been a while since I was the first to respond to a scene.

I-- I'm an idiot sometimes. I can admit it.

[shouting] That woman got the shit kicked out of her with no justice

all because you didn't do your job right!

Oh, don't put this all on me just because you don't have

what it takes to represent the victim!

[sharply exhales]

Ugh. Look, Darby, I'm sorry, that was out of line.

You know? Stop, okay? Just, don't even--

[softly] I am such an idiot.

Don't touch me!

Hey, hey, hey.

[heavily breathing]

[soft squishing]

[Ron humming]

[groaning] Oww! Oh! Oh.

Ah. Would you look at that!

[crickets chirping]

[grunts]

[soft squelching]

[panting]

Dad! Hey, I'm coming upstairs.

Just a forewarning, in case you need that.

But, hey, I've been doing a lot of thinking,

an-- and I'd really like to talk.

[soft groans and pants]

[tense music]

Are you here?

[groaning]

[squelching]

[gasps]

[gasps and groans]

-[thudding] -[gasps]

Dad, i-- is that you?

I'm coming in, so you better have pants on.

[shouts] Oh, my God! Dad!

[crying] Oh, my God!

Dad! What-- what did you do?

Dad! Dad! Dad! What happened? What is this?

[gasps]

Please, don't go! I can fix this,

I can fix this! Dad!

[sobbing]

[music increases]

[crickets chirping]

[camera shutter clicking]

[sighs] Oh, man.

[laughs] Hey.

So, you wanna know what my buddy did when he couldn't swap

the suits on the corpses before the funeral?

I don't care.

He just switched the heads.

[laughs]

You get it? Huh? Get it?

It's like he took the head from the guy with the black suit

and put it on the guy with the body with the blue suit.

Yeah, I get it. Can we get back to work here, please?

What do you make of this?

[clears throat] Mm. I'm sorry. Uh,

actually, I have no idea.

I'm gonna have to do a full workup back at the lab.

Okay. [deeply exhales]

Have your assistant start to bag this up.

Let's go have a chat with the witness.

No, no, actually,

I should be the one to bag this up properly.

It's just the way to do it.

No, I need you with me.

[clock clicking]

Hi-- Hey, um, hey, uh,

so... I got one for you guys.

So, my aunt, her star sign was cancer. [chuckles]

So I guess it's pretty ironic how she died. [laughs]

She was eaten by a really big snake. [chuckles]

You get it? [laughs]

Is there anything you can tell us

that might help us get to the bottom of this?

Like, was he on any kind of drugs or anything or--

-[clack] -[Darby] He was on this.

That's his CCL medication.

Uh, that would explain the excessive bleeding.

And the tumor?

Oh, no, no. This wouldn't cause that.

Or the purple discoloration.

Is there anything else, Darby?

We had a fight last night.

Uh-huh! That explains the,

the swelling and the bruising, huh?

[laughs] Jabs.

Not that kind of fight.

I caught him having...

...relations with a friend. [sharply exhales]

O-- okay. Maybe she knows something. What do you know about her?

-I know her name's Gina. -[sheriff] Gina.

-Is there a second? -No, no, just Gina.

[sheriff] Okay, we can look into that.

Um, you mentioned he stormed off.

Do you know where he was going?

Probably somewhere with alcohol.

That sounds like the usual.

Did you notice anything unusual?

Now that you mention it...

...he was acting really strange this morning.

How so?

He was nice.

[shakily] He's never nice.

We'll get this figured out.

Yeah. It's your job.

Do it right this time.

[eerie music]

[soft squelching]

[music increases]

[Neila] Hey, Darbs, I let myself in.

Darby.

Darby, you home?

[whispers] Darby!

Hey.

[melancholic music]

[in normal voice] Hey.

[softly] Hi. It's okay.

It's okay.

[Darby] It was fucked up.

-I know. -It was so fucked up.

I know.

-[shakily breathing] -Hey. You're shaking.

Can I get you something to eat?

I'm not hungry yet.

I mean, it's gonna help you feel better.

I-- I don't want food. I just--

I wanna drink.

[softly chuckles and deeply inhales]

[sighing] Okay.

[Darius] Okay. Here we go.

This is case 515-027.

Initial findings.

Subject appears to have suffered from a bad--

Oh, fuck! I don't know what to call this.

Where does this even go?

Always serving you.

[chuckles] Thanks.

You wanna talk about it?

Uh, no, I don't think so.

Might help.

I-- I don't even know what to feel.

It's like...

...I feel sick, disgusted.

I feel scared.

And relieved. [scoffs]

Shit. My dad was miserable his entire life,

but no one deserves to die like that.

Do they know what happened to him?

Gosh, they have no clue.

They think it has something to do with the cancer, but--

Mm, I'm sure you'll get all the answers you're looking for.

You know what that fucker said to me this morning?

He said he was sorry and that he wanted to be better.

The real Ron that I knew was never sorry.

Ron did what and who Ron wanted.

[light eerie music]

I don't even know who the real Ron is anymore.

-See? Really weird stuff, right? -Yeah.

What is it? Looks like a drum.

[softly laughs] Uh, it's funny you mentioned that.

I found something else. Check this out.

Jesus, man! Would you stop? What are you doing?

Wait, wait, wait, wait! [shushes]

[dogs distantly barking and howling]

Yeah. You hear that?

All I hear are those damn dogs.

Exactly. Check this out.

You know how I record voice notes every time I examine a subject, right?

No, I don't, but continue.

Well, I started recording earlier

while I was doing the examination.

-Listen to this. -[clicks]

[Darius on recorder] Subject appears to have suffered

from a bad-- Oh, fuck!

He suffered from a bad fuck?

Uh, no. No, no. Not--

Sorry, just-- just, just keep listening.

-[clicks] -[soft whirring]

[screeching on recorder]

-What the hell was that? -When I poked this thing earlier,

-that's the sound the recorder picked up. -I don't get it.

When you flicked it a second ago, there was no sound.

Oh, but there was. You just couldn't hear it.

You see, the sound mechanisms in the recorder

are much more sensitive than our ears.

-Meaning? -Well, i-- it just means

that it picks up sound and wave patterns

that our ears simply can't.

[sighs] So, what are you saying?

What I'm saying is

that this is some kind of mutation.

And I think this organ... is for communicating.

Mm, yeah.

We're fucked.

Big time.

We have no idea--

[upbeat music playing]

[Neila] You were totally in love with that kid!

He was a dork.

Come on, he was my first.

-Oh, God. That kid was batting out of his league with you... -Mm!

-...for sure. No. -Thank you, I, I think.

-No, I-- I mean that as compliment. -No-- no. [laughing] Okay.

Well, come on, slut! Not everyone can slam

the entire varsity football team.

-Okay... [laughs] first of... -[laughs]

...it wasn't the entire varsity team.

Come on. I always wanted to call you Domino. [laughs]

-What does that even mean? -You just slammed the first guy,

-and they all just came right after. -Oh...

-True! [laughs] Mm-hmm. -...my God, you're stupid.

What was that guy's name? Wait, Grant. Grant! No. No, no, no.

-Oh, my God! -Mm, Graham.

-Graham. -It was Grayson.

Grayson! Sorry.

Yeah! That's it.

Mm-mm! Mm-hmm.

Mm.

[deeply exhales]

[melancholic music]

He actually wasn't my first.

Wait, what? Really? Oh, who was?

Uh...

...h-- he made me, uh, promise

not to tell anyone.

No. Do I know the guy?

Yeah. You did.

Pretty well, actually.

Okay, tell me.

You know, fuck it. You're probably better off knowing, anyway.

Um...

...his name is, uh... [clears throat]

...Ronald Viglione.

What?

Wait. [scoffs] When?

You know that night with that, like, crazy lightning storm

after you moved in with your mom?

Yeah, I, I do actually remember that.

Yeah, I went back to your old place, and, um...

[music continues]

...well, I got-- I got my iPod out of your bedroom, and...

[crying] that was-- that was the night that my life changed.

Why would you ever willingly sleep with my dad?

He's fucking the worst. [groans] Gross.

Because I was young and naive, and he knew it.

You know how they say that some people shouldn't be teachers?

They're talking about your dad.

[crying] Wait, why didn't you tell me?

I don't know. 'Cause you're, like,

all I got, you know?

I didn't wanna fuck that up.

No, you wouldn't fuck it up! Oh, my gosh!

[crying] Oh, my gosh, Neels!

I'm the worst friend! I couldn't be there for you or anything.

It's all my fault! It's my fault!

-Shit. I'm so sorry! -No, no, no, it's not you, you're not--

you're not your dad, you know? You're not.

You're, you're better.

-[shakily] Mm-hmm. -You're better than your dad.

Wouldn't it be nice if we didn't have to, like, deal with... assholes?

[Darby softly] Yes.

[crying] You-- you must remember, please, just--

I am here for you whenever you need me,

all the time, no matter what, it doesn't matter, okay?

Please, just know that.

[music continues]

And no more secrets, please. No more secrets.

No more secrets.

-[laughing and crying] -I love you, I'm sorry.

[softly chuckling] Fuck! I really wanna drink now.

[Darby] Yeah.

[light eerie music]

[beeping]

[beeping]

[indistinct chatter on TV] Next up...

-[thud] -...creature in the natural world.

The praying mantis is a peculiar organism here on the planet Earth.

Its ultrasonic hearing picks up frequencies above 20,000Hz,

just beyond the range of humans,

through a single ear located in the center of its abdomen.

Almost as if they didn't want us to hear what they are saying.

[soft squelching]

Their ultrasonic biology

gives them the ability to use sound waves

to manipulate nearby objects to lure in unsuspecting prey.

Praying mantis are highly predaceous

and feed on a variety of insects and mammals

that are much larger than them.

But they will only eat prey that is still alive.

[tense music]

Masters at camouflage, they lie in wait

-with their front legs in an upwards position. -[thudding]

They intently watch and stalk their prey.

They even kill each other.

Sexual cannibalism is a must for the mantis to survive.

The male's body serves as a source

of much-needed nutrition for the female.

Scientists debate whether the male is fully compliant

with his own sacrificial death.

[soft clattering]

[woman on cell phone] Relax to eight hours

of soothing and mind paralyzing

full spectrum gray noise.

Three. Two. One.

-[static] -[gasps]

[dramatic music]

-[shouting] What is that? -Wha-- [stutters] what is what? I--

Ju-- just-- turn that-- turn it off! [gasping]

[panting]

-Are you okay? No, wait! -I don't know.

-Was it a bad dream or-- -I don't know, I don't know,

-I have to leave. -Wait, ca-- can you drive?

I'm fine, I'm fine, I-- where are my shoes?

I-- I think they're by the door.

-I'll call you or something. -[Darby] Oh, okay. Bye.

[keyboard clacking]

[chuckles]

[laughs]

[softly] Fucking easy money.

[eerie music]

[soft thuds]

[laughs]

-[indistinct mumbling] -[glass clinking]

[distorted moaning]

[echoing scream]

[screeching]

[sighs]

[Ron] I came to you for help and you were there for me.

So, now I wanna be there for you.

From now on, I'm gonna be the father you deserve.

[Neila] You're not your dad, you know? You're not.

You're, you're better.

You're better than your dad.

-[deeply exhales] -[cell phone buzzing]

[Darby] Oh, shit. She doesn't know yet.

[gentle music]

Oh, shit! It's you.

So, what is it that you want?

How do you actually know my dad?

Are we really doing this right now?

Yes, we're really doing this right now.

Okay, so I work part-time in a pet store,

and your father came in looking to buy a kitten for his daughter.

-Oh, my God. -It was so cute.

The way that he was so nervous

that his apartment would not be safe for a pet.

So, he asked for my help and I followed him home.

Shit, why am I even here?

Right?

You know, fuck it.

-Ron's dead. -What? How?

Yeah, I don't know. That's what we're trying to figure out.

Some disgusting disease or, or something--

No, wait, wait, wait, wait. It's not contagious or anything, right?

[crying] I don't know! He, he had this, like, growth on his neck,

and, and blood everywhere. And this funky smell.

-And it was just-- -Okay. Okay, okay.

It, it wasn't me. I'm clean.

No, no, no, I'm not saying it was you.

I just-- you were one of the last people to see him

while he was still alive.

I was just thinking you might know something.

I-- I don't.

I don't know anything.

[whispers] Shit. [in normal voice] You know...

...I really should go, yeah. I'll let myself out.

[eerie music]

[door creaks and thuds]

[whispers] Okay.

[Darius] And after I took all the organs out of the body,

I couldn't get them all back in!

I mean, nothing fits like they usually do.

Uh, the heart was on the right. The lungs were all misshaped.

Hell, I don't even know where the spleen went--

Maybe we spare her those kind of details.

Tell her about your theory.

Right. Sorry.

Okay. Um, so, after I did my examination on the body,

I took a closer look at the items that we got from the scene, okay?

I found this.

[music continues]

What is that?

Well, my theory is that it's the outline

of a very, very specific resonant frequency.

I'm not following. [chuckles]

Okay, okay. So, we found this towel

on the floor of the bathroom next to the body, right?

My guess is that it was dropped on blood that was pooling

in this particular pattern.

But why would it do that?

Ah, you see, that's where the resonant frequency theory comes in.

Okay, you see, sound frequencies,

they have their own unique properties.

Uh, like a signature.

I-- in fact, certain frequencies

can even move physical objects.

What does sound have to do with all of this?

Show her the organs.

Oh, baby, I thought you'd never ask.

[game machine chiming]

[rock music playing]

-Hey. -[grunts]

Hey, back.

How's your day going?

Got some new shoes this morning.

-Nice! -Mm.

-[Darby] Are you doing okay? -I mean, yeah,

-but I should be asking you that. -I'm fine, I guess.

Actually, I'm not fine.

I'm really fucking not fine.

In one sense, I'm grieving my shitbox dad.

In another sense, I'm grieving what he did to you.

It's fine. It was, like, you know, a long time ago.

Come on. I can always tell when you are lying.

You got that voice thing.

It's fine. Really.

Plus, I didn't even, like, see him, so--

[clears throat] Hey, Chuck, can you take that shit in the back?

[eerie music]

Hey, earth to Chuck.

Hey, Chuck!

You wanna take that shit in the back? Maybe do your job?

-Fucker! -Yeah, Jesus.

Um, can you just watch the bar for, like, a second

-so I can handle this bullshit? -Yeah--

Sure, no problem.

-[game machine chiming] -[softly] Shit.

[chiming continues]

-Kind of jumpy, aren't you? -Mm.

I hate that thing.

Your kicks, they got dirty already.

-[chuckling] What'd you do? -Oh, it's the basement.

All these buildings have dirt floors.

-So, ruining good shoes... -Mm.

...is just part of the job, I guess.

-[sighs] -Mm.

-[softly chuckles] -Right.

So, uh...

...did you hear anything about Ron?

[scoffs]

You won't believe what the medical examiner found.

[cell phone ringing]

-Hello? -[Gina] Hi, uh, Darby? [grunts] It's Gina.

-Hi, Gina. -I hope it's okay.

You said to call this phone if I thought of anything and--

Of course, yeah, great.

I might have something for you.

I-- Well, I-- I don't know, it might be nothing.

-What is it? -That night, after I left your apartment,

Ron called me several times.

I was so embarrassed about everything that I just didn't answer.

And he left a few voicemails.

Anyway, I just thought you might wanna hear them.

Yeah, that-- that would be great.

Yeah. Don't mention it.

I'll text them over now.

Thanks.

[cell phone chimes]

[Ron] Why don't you answer your phone?

[grunts] Oh, God. I'm sorry.

I should've told you my daughter was a grown woman.

But the kitten thing was real.

I really did stop into your shop to get her one.

[sighs] You know, when she was a kid, she always wanted one.

I never listened.

[game machine chiming over voice mail]

Anyway, call me when you get this.

[light eerie music]

[soft dripping]

[music increases]

[softly gasps]

[game machine chiming]

[humming]

It's done.

Thank you.

-[spraying] -[humming continues]

What'll it be, sheriff?

Just water. I'm on the clock.

Mm. Sound serious. Is this about Darby's dad?

As a matter of fact, what do you know about it?

I mean, just what Darby's told me.

Seriously, so sad.

Yeah, I figured.

This one really has us stumped.

A lot of peculiar pieces to put together.

Really? Like, what kind of pieces?

Uh, I don't wanna bother you with all the details. [laughs]

No, seriously, I have, like, all the time in the world for this.

Okay. Was, uh, Ron here that night?

No, I-- I would've told you guys if he was.

[softly] Yeah.

I see.

Anything else?

Hey, you don't mind if I took a look at your basement, would you?

[tense music]

It's actually really cluttered down there,

it's kind of an embarrassment right now, so--

[laughs] I don't mind. You should see the storage room at the station.

It's a real shit show.

[clears throat] I'm actually kind of busy right now,

I have to get ready for the evening rush.

Really? 'Cause you said you had all the time in the world.

-Just take a sec. -I don't want you down there.

Why? Are you hiding something?

No, but I'm not gonna be bullied by a power-hungry man.

I guess I should get going then, huh?

Yeah, I guess you should.

[game machine chiming]

One more thing.

Got a voice mail from Ron that night.

[Ron] ...I-- I really did stop into your shop to get her one.

You know, when she was a kid, she always wanted one.

-I never listened. -[game machine chiming over voice mail]

Anyway, call me when you get this.

Sounds a lot like that machine right there, huh?

Something you wanna tell me?

[music continues]

-[thudding] -[groaning]

[groaning and shouting] Get the fuck off me!

What are you gonna do?

[groans] What are you gonna do? Huh?

What are you gonna do?

You're gonna find out.

[thud]

[panting]

What the fuck is this?

What did you do to me, bitch?

[softly] Mm.

[shushes]

It's okay.

It'll all be over soon.

[dramatic music]

[loudly gasps]

[Darby] Hello, Darius?

I, uh,

have something I think you should see

with my dad's boots, and...

...uh, you said to just come

if I had anything, and...

...so--

[light eerie music]

[grunts and pants]

[gasping]

[heavily breathing] No--

[tense music]

[soft squelching]

[soft clinking]

[gasping]

[gasping and sobbing]

-[grunting] -[rattling]

[screams and pants]

Oh, my god! Oh, thanks! Oh, God, it's you!

We have to go, we-- we can do this later, but-- w-- we gotta go! We have to, to go!

What ar-- what are you doing? Ty, what are you doing? Let go of me! We have to go!

[crying and sobbing] No! Listen to me!

[screaming]

[heavily breathing]

[ominous music]

[shakily breathing and grunting]

Stop!

[shouting]

[sobbing]

[screaming] Help me! Help me, someone--

[screaming]

[rumbling]

Screaming won't do anything, I'm sorry.

[whispers] Who the fuck are you?

[shakily] I'm Neila.

Kind of.

We decided no secrets.

Yeah, you're absolutely right and you deserve to know the truth.

[shakily breathing] Start with Ron.

Was everything that you told me that happened between you two just a lie?

[music continues]

Ron hurt me in ways that I can't even describe.

And he got what he deserved.

No! No, he, he deserved to be tried in a court of law.

'Cause that is the fucking world that we live in, Neila!

-Oh, you're sheltered. -[crying]

Well, enlighten me.

After that night with your dad, I was devastated.

[thunder rumbling]

I had nowhere to go. No one to talk to.

My entire world was flipped upside down.

[eerie music]

[whispers] I was gonna kill myself.

[thunder rumbling]

[echoing whispering]

And then she found me.

[shakily breathing]

[grunts]

[heavily exhales]

Who is she?

I-- I don't understand.

[dripping]

-[echoing whispering] -This is mother.

And you're going to understand soon enough.

[crying] What the fuck are you talking about?

She is everything and everywhere,

you just have to know how to listen for her voice.

[dramatic music]

[gasping]

[squelching]

And she has been here since the beginning. [chuckles]

Speaking to us, nurturing us, guiding us.

She found me at my very lowest,

and she turned me into something great.

[loudly gasping and panting]

That's her nature.

She gave me the ability to change the world.

[groaning]

No longer would I be a victim.

She gave me the ability to take evil and turn it into good.

To take bad people and turn them into something better.

Jonathan will no longer push pharmaceuticals on the weak minded.

Ty will no longer trade justice

and the pain of others for his own gain.

Darby, there are so many others out there for you to discover.

[crickets chirping]

She wants to do the same for you.

You just have to let her in.

-All you have to do is touch her. -[shakily breaths]

[eerie music]

[softly] You and I can change the world together.

The two of us. No more secrets.

You just have to let her in.

[music increases]

Think about what she did for Ron.

She wanted you to have the father you deserve.

[soft squelching]

[chuckles]

Now I have a sister.

We are family now.

[laughs]

[whispers] I'm sorry.

Take the gifts that mother gave you and praise who you are.

[music continues]

Oh, my God! Ty--

[crying] No, wait! I'm gonna get you out of here.

-[Neila screaming] -[crying]

[melancholic music]

-[Neila screaming] -I'm so sorry.

[Neila] Where are you going?

[tense music]

Your home is here with me.

No! No, Neila, this is crazy! I can't. I-- I won't!

You walked out on me before and look what happened.

[crying] Please, don't leave me, I can't do this by myself.

We're sisters.

[shakily breathing]

-[shouting] -[glass shatters]

-[panting] -[rattling]

-[grunts] -[glass shatters]

Darby, stop!

[crying and heavily breathing]

[softly] Darby, no.

[shakily breathing]

[shouts] Darby, no!

[fire whooshing and crackling]

[screaming]

[panting]

-[screeching] -[echoing screaming]

[panting]

[eerie music]

[fire crackling]

-[man] Hey, little lady. -[gasps]

I would ask to buy you a drink,

-but, uh, I think they're closed. -[explosion]
