[breathing heavily]

[Narrator] It was 6:00 p.m.,

the time when an unsuspecting Nina

would get home from her evening run.

Her boyfriend, Mark, deceased in the next room.

[Nina] Hey, Mark, I ran into Bailey again.

Are you still sleeping?

[narrator] The Slumlord had been watching them for weeks,

awaiting the perfect opportunity to strike.

[ominous music playing]

[Nina screaming]

[Nina screaming]

Are you all right?

I just keep thinking about those poor girls.

Sky.

That terrifying guy.

This is the first thing you wanted to watch

in the new house.

A show with real footage of people

getting murdered, kidnapped?

[scoffs]

I don't know, you don't think

it's interesting considering that--

I just feel like you're off somewhere else, I'm sorry.

And then I'm just sitting here watching you watch the screen.

That's a little unfair.

-Okay, I just-- I just-- -Really?

Well, it's just our first night staying here,

and I thought the mood would be a little...

different.

You know?

Sky.

Sky. [chuckles]

-What? -Never mind.

Never mind.

I'm going to bed.

Cam.

[sighs]

Good night.

Night.

[eerie string melody playing]

[clanking]

[rapid clicking]

[clicking stops]

[woman on TV] Watch all your favorite shows ad free

so you never have to stop watching.

[sighs]

[thunder rumbling]

[knocking]

[Sky] I'm coming to get you, one second.

-Hey! You're here! -[Carolyn] I'm here!

And I made it to your duplex!

You guys are like serious landlords now.

[Sky] Yeah, it's kind of a mess.

Just throw that anywhere.

[Carolyn] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

-Sky, this place is huge. -Yeah, we did all right.

Yeah, the pictures you sent kind of made it look shitty.

This is just the top half of it?

Yeah, we got pretty lucky.

Lucky for you, we haven't found renters for the bottom unit yet.

-Come on. -Okay.

[Sky] If you follow me this way,

you will see the front steps.

[Carolyn] Front door, got it.

[Sky] And the four down there, um, bedrooms are this way.

[Carolyn] And skylight.

Skylight, very important touch.

It's really nice, Sky.

[Sky sighs]

Thank you.

For letting me crash here.

You guys are really helping me out.

-Carolyn. -No, I mean it,

-I mean it, you guys are. -Of course!

I just...

[Sky] It's not even a question.

I love you guys.

Here it is. Oh, sorry.

There's so much stuff in front of the door.

[Cam] Hey, look who's here!

Cam!

Insurance lawyer turned mediocre carpenter.

[Cam chuckling]

Hey, Carolyn, how are you?

Hi.

My favorite sister in-law.

Oh, you know, I wanted to say I'm sorry about everything.

To hear about everything, you know, with, uh,

you know, with Gio.

Um...

Yeah, I guess, you know, you don't--

You never know with people.

Well, at least he doesn't know where I am.

Hopefully, it stays that way.

You're safe here with us.

Anyway, um,

we were hoping to have all the work done by now,

but Cam had to do his little macho thing

and finish the place himself, so it's not done yet.

-[Sky chuckling] -[Carolyn] Well...

it's definitely a fixer-upper.

Doesn't explain how you got it so cheap.

Well, the right place at the right time.

-[Sky chuckling] -[Carolyn] What?

Someone die in here or something?

[chuckling]

Did someone die in here?

-Uh, no one died. -[Carolyn] What?

-[Sky] We don't think. -[Cam] No, nobody died.

What happened?

[Sky] Have you been watching The Slumlord Tapes?

The landlord with the hidden cameras and all that?

True crime thing?

No. No way!

That's how you get a place for half the market value.

What? You guys are fucking with me.

This is one of those houses?

Are there cameras?

-No, no. -[Carolyn] What?

-There's no cameras. -How do you know?

Apparently not, apparently not.

There are nothing, seriously, okay?

They would have told us if they found anything

in the walls or anything.

Nothing happened here.

You know, dad's place isn't sounding

-so bad anymore. -[Sky laughing]

There's nothing to be afraid of.

-[Carolyn] Uh-huh. -The guy's dead.

-Spoilers! -It was all over the news.

I cannot believe you watch that while you're living here.

It's really good.

[Carolyn] Oh, you guys are twisted.

[Sky] You know...

we have an hour

before dinner's ready.

[scoffs]

Uh-uh.

Mm-mm.

[tense music playing]

[screaming]

[Valerie] His origin and identity are mostly unknown.

He became a master at hiding his cameras.

Over time, they became smaller,

more sophisticated, harder to detect.

Whoa.

[Valerie] We discovered evidence in showerheads, lightbulbs,

smoke detectors, air vents,

even toilet bowls.

Oh, fuck off, ugh.

Yeah. Disgusting.

[Valerie] He was constantly developing.

Cameras so small they could fit in the cavity of a wall outlet.

There was no telling what this guy was capable of.

We swept some properties multiple times.

There may be cameras out there that we haven't discovered.

[Paul] It was a long time ago.

I remember Ryan told me to go to the house...

and check out what was going on.

He was paranoid and he kept calling me.

And there's nobody there, I think there's nobody there.

I'm looking around, it was silent.

It was dead silent.

The room was insulated, completely soundproof.

And then looking back,

it's terrifying to think that a woman

was chained up in the basement ten feet below me.

I mean, she was right beneath my feet,

and she was screaming and I couldn't hear anything.

[screaming]

Nope, okay, you know what?

I'm gonna go take a shower.

You guys enjoy the creep show.

[Carolyn grunts in disgust]

There should be a towel in there.

[Carolyn] Thank you. Hope I survive.

It really sucks that you brought Gio up to her.

-I know. -She's having a really

tough time with all of it, and she came here to relax

-and not think about it. -I know, yeah.

[screaming]

I'm gonna go check on the water heater

and make sure it's not doing that click thing again.

[Paul] And I still get shook up about that.

How can you not?

[deep ominous music playing]

[door creaking]

[switch clicking]

[clicking]

Where's the Slumlord when you need him?

[clicking intensifies]

[grunting]

[grunting]

Come on.

[grunting]

[mysterious music building]

[mysterious music playing]

Oh, fuck.

[suspenseful music playing]

[blowing]

Holy shit.

[shrill, ominous music playing]

Okay, then.

There we go.

[beeping]

-[hisses] -Whoa!

[coughs]

[chuckles]

What?

No.

[monitor booting up]

Oh, shit.

[shower running]

Whoa.

Oh, my God.

What the fuck?

[muffled conversation]

[Sky] Why would people pay for porn?

[Carolyn] Dude, I want a name.

I want a specific name, I wanna 'em to sit right there,

I wanna have a conversation.

[Sky] I don't know. People who want, like, good porn,

like, high quality porn.

[Carolyn] High quality stranger sex? [chuckles]

Wait, isn't all porn watching strangers have sex?

I'm just saying, you don't have to put down a credit card, okay?

Just type in the weird "butthole,"

see everything one can do to a butthole.

I'm serious, I've seen it all.

[Sky] I'm sure, I'm sure you have.

[Sky laughing]

Cam, what do you like looking at?

Huh? What?

[Sky] Cam?

Are you okay? You're acting weird.

-No, I'm not. -[Carolyn] Yeah, you are.

-You're acting weird, what's up? -[Sky] Yeah, you are.

-[Carolyn] What's up? -[Sky] Cam?

[Carolyn] Cam?

I, um...

[Carolyn and Sky laughing]

I'm...

I actually, um...

I found, um...

Holy shit!

-Holy shit, did you see that? -What?

Someone was looking in through the window.

-Are you serious? -[Carolyn] I swear to God.

He was just there, he was looking in here.

There's no one there, okay?

-Can you just go check? -Okay, all right.

Just relax.

[eerie wavering music playing]

Let's just see.

Hello?

Gio, if that's you, you better fuck off!

[dog barking in distance]

I don't know, I just think Carol's really stressed.

Yeah.

Like, she's a tough person, but I don't know, it's just...

I think the situation's really getting to her.

[scoffs] Seeing things?

I don't know, do you think there was really

someone at the window?

The Slumlord's dead, right?

That's not funny.

[sighs]

Tonight... [sighs]

I found a...

You're not gonna believe this.

I, uh...

[Sky] Jesus.

-What? -This guy had thousands of hours

of footage stashed away on hard drives across the country.

That is so creepy.

Yeah.

Real creepy.

[birds chirping]

[Carolyn] He didn't see her.

She and Gio work together, okay?

She sat at his desk, might as well have been on his lap.

She would take advantage of him at night when he was tired.

[Sky] I don't think that matters.

[Carolyn] I think it does, I think this chick is not stupid.

I think she knew exactly what she was doing.

Anyway, just...

Hey, Cam.

I'm gonna run out and grab some stuff for the house.

Should be back, uh, maybe a little later.

Okay.

Do you guys need anything or?

-Nope. -No.

Okay.

-Well, I'll see you later. -We're--

Oh, oh, I'm sorry!

I'm sorry, I didn't know... didn't know.

[Sky] Yep.

[tense music playing]

[Sky] See you later.

Yeah, yeah.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Kayla] I'd like to take another look at that.

Can you just give me one sec?

Uh, yeah, thank you, Kayla.

Here's the thing, his assistant was a predator.

I mean, she took advantage of him.

-What was he supposed to do? -Yeah, I see it, thank you.

[Carolyn] It was unavoidable.

Are you listening to yourself?

[Carolyn] You at least got one of the loyal ones.

Okay, yeah, fine, Cam...

made a few mistakes, I mean, who doesn't cheat in college?

But, Gio, it's like, he doesn't even have--

[Kayla] Carolyn?

Yes, we are confirmed for the breast break

on Monday, Kayla, thank you.

You don't get to make Gio the victim here.

-I'm not. -He had every opportunity

to just walk away and say no, but he couldn't help

his little wiener, getting involved, making--

Little wiener?

It's just as much his fault as it is hers.

[Kayla] Sorry, Carolyn? Carolyn?

Hold on, Kayla.

So, how was he supposed to say no to that?

When that just throws herself at him?

-What was he supposed to do? -I don't know,

I guess he could act like an adult

-with a shred of self control. -No.

That kind of temptation for a man, that...

That's overwhelming.

I mean, their-- their curiosity alone,

it's not even in human nature for them to deny that.

[Sky] No, he wasn't talked into cheating on you.

He just-- He just did it.

He wanted to do it.

When a guy jumps at an opportunity like that,

he's the monster, he's the bad guy.

[Carolyn] All right, so, what's your point?

A creep is a creep.

That's it.

Bottom line.

Hey, Cindy, sorry, um,

do you have those files?

Can I get them in one folder, please?

[eerie music playing]

[sighs]

[Sky] You have one more meeting?

[Carolyn] At 1:00, yeah.

You're done at 1:00 or you have one more meeting--

I have one more meeting,

and then I'm done with everything.

[Sky] I'm just trying to ask you when you're done, whatever.

[Carolyn] At 1:00.

I am done when my last meeting ends at 1:00.

[Sky] You are so [indistinct].

Am I really, and what are we talking about?

[eerie rhythmic melody playing]

Ah, okay.

Here we go.

[gasps]

-[air freshener hisses] -[Cam shouts]

Oh, fuck.

[water splashing]

Oh, Jesus.

What the fuck am I doing?

[sighs]

Stupid.

What the fuck am I doing?

[piano melody playing]

I can't find these girls' credit scores.

I don't even think they've had jobs.

They probably have rich parents.

[Sky] Exactly.

And I don't know, I'm worried about two college seniors

with no jobs trying to have one big final blowout semester.

[Cam] You don't know that. I mean, they seemed nice to me.

But guys?

You know, you can never tell.

They could be weirdos.

We gotta share a floor with these people, Sky.

Everyone's a little weird.

I don't know, they don't seem violent or anything.

[Cam chuckling]

Remember when we were first starting out

and we couldn't find anyone to take us

because of credit scores and all this bullshit?

You remember how frustrating all that stuff is when you're young?

Huh?

And now we finally have our own home.

I think we should help these girls out.

Girls are just so safe.

Innocent.

Oh, my God.

You dirty old man.

Come here.

[Sky chuckles]

Really?

[moaning]

[moaning]

[moaning]

[groans in disgust]

[orgasmic moaning]

Oh, my...

[Sky] Yeah, that was great.

[Cam] That was amazing.

[Sky] Yeah, that was great.

[Sky] Yeah, that was great.

[Valerie] Whenever he could,

he would tack screws into entryway doors,

which closed off escape routes.

We found a bunker where they were kept.

Claire escaped, but she still lives in constant fear.

That is my worst fucking nightmare.

Being kidnapped like that.

[Valerie] Since then, she's hired a private security--

Shit, she has so many followers.

[Valerie] The dark irony is they're still

under constant surveillance.

[Sky] That poor woman.

After everything she went through being trapped

in that bunker for years.

Can't even go buy orange juice without people gaping at her.

When we finally caught up with the Slumlord,

it was too late.

His van caught fire a half mile from the border.

By the time local authorities found the vehicle,

it was so burned out, it was hard to decipher

the bone ash from other materials.

In the end, there's no telling

how many properties the Slumlord owned.

The paper trail is indecipherable,

and with so many people still missing,

it's anyone's guess if there are survivors

hidden away somewhere hoping to be discovered.

[Claire] Ryan didn't make it out,

and it was years before I did.

They say the Slumlord is dead...

and that my nightmare is over,

and I hope it's just a matter of time before I feel that way.

Before I feel like no one's watching.

Bullshit.

This is bullshit, this is bullshit!

-Whoa, what's bullshit? -After everything,

he just burns up in his stupid van?

-I don't know. -I mean,

we need to be sure we live in one of his houses.

Okay, I think this true crime stuff is, like,

made to freak people out.

If she had known more about the Slumlord,

if she had been more prepared,

then maybe Ryan would have survived.

Wait, who's Ryan?

Claire's husband.

Yeah, I just think I missed some of the set up here.

-So I'm like... -How about this?

We can start the series from the beginning.

We can watch it all again.

This way it's, like, fresh in your mind

and we can think about clues and stuff together.

Uh...

-Okay. -[door slams]

[Sky giggles]

Honey, hi.

Um, we're starting Slumlord again from the beginning.

Do you wanna watch?

[scoffs] No.

No, thanks.

[eerie theme music playing]

[suspenseful music playing]

[girls cheering]

[Wren] Let's do it!

Movin' in, movin' in, movin' in!

[Wren] Lift, lift!

Ow, ow, ow, ow!

Dude, why are the drawers still in? It's so heavy.

It's okay, we got it, we got it, we got it.

Okay, push, push.

Just be careful, don't slide it.

-Hey! -Oh, my God.

Sorry, sorry.

You scared the shit out of me.

-Dude. -[Cam] Sorry.

Can I help you guys out?

You guys look like you're struggling.

-Yeah? -[girls laughing]

-Yes, please. -Okay.

Let me grab this heavy end, okay.

And you hop up top. Sorry if I scared you.

It was like perfect timing, thanks.

I saw you guys struggling a mile away.

Okay, on three we're gonna lift.

-Okay. -[Cam] One.

Two, three.

Okay.

-Is this good here? -Uh, yeah.

All right, use your legs. [chuckles]

Thanks, Cam.

Never had a landlord help me move in before.

Oh, landlord, please, think of me like a friendly neighbor.

Or roommate, even.

We are technically sharing a house.

[chuckling]

But seriously, if you guys every want to use

the backyard area for anything, you know, to grill

or just lay out and get some sun, mi casa, su casa.

[both giggling] Thanks.

Awesome, will do.

Where'd you guys get this couch?

I don't know, it was a hand-me-down from my sister.

Brought it over from Texas.

Texas? That's right.

Texas, the Lone Star State.

Yeah.

[imitates quick draw, gun firing]

You know?

Nice.

Okay, well, I will leave you to it.

Won't keep you all day.

Good luck settling in, y'all.

[chuckling sympathetically]

-Bye! -Bye, Cam.

[exhales]

[phone buzzing]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Wren] Amber?

Where does the cat go?

[meowing]

Hello?

[phone buzzing]

Can you help?

[indistinct conversation]

[indistinct conversation]

[phone beeps]

[Amber] Oh, shit!

[Wren] Are you okay?

[Amber] Yes, I'm fine.

[man] Hey, look at that, there he is.

-Hey, Cam. Can you hear us? -Hi. Hi, Holly.

Yeah. I'm good. I'm, um,

-what did I miss? -Uh...

[Holly] We were just getting started.

[Cam] Yeah.

[Holly] It's a little hard to hear you.

Are you feeling okay?

No, no, I'm-- I'm-- I'm--

[man] Cam? -I'm fine, I just...

[man] No, yeah, we still can't hear you.

Um, you're not, it's not clear, Cam.

-Uh-huh. -We're, um...

[Holly] We do have a lot to go over on your end.

-Right. -[man] Cam, if you'll just--

[Holly] This doesn't seem to be ideal conditions

-for us to meet like this. -Huh. Right, right.

[man] Yeah, you are totally right, Holly, I-- I agree.

I'm feeling that maybe given the circumstances,

-we should try and reschedule. -Yeah, well...

That would be better for me, actually, yeah.

[man] Can we maybe say tomorrow?

-In the afternoon? -Uh-huh. Yeah, great, great.

[Holly] I guess I can move things around and make it work.

[man] Well, okay, okay, we'll see everyone then.

-Okay, count me in. Thanks, bye. -[Holly] See you then.

[Cam] That's what I said.

-And, uh... -[flies buzzing]

...between us, not really sure if I want to be a lawyer

for the rest of my life, know what I mean?

It's all bullshit. There's things I want to do.

There's places I want to see. You know?

I'm not an old man just yet.

You know, I've never been to Paris.

Who hasn't been to Paris? Me. [chuckles]

I haven't though. Or Tokyo or Dallas.

-That actually a place-- -[Wren] Hey, Sky.

-Hey. Honey. -Hey. Hey.

Hi, Sky!

[Sky] What's all this?

Uh, I grilled. [chuckles]

You what?

Yeah, I figured, you know, hey, let's share some

with our new neighbors and welcome them.

You know.

-You made all this? -[Cam] Yeah.

Well, not the coleslaw. [chuckling]

But, yeah, I grilled everything.

[Sky] Since when do you grill?

I grill all the time.

[Sky] Hmm.

Yeah, I figured, you know, I wanted to surprise you.

You know, I figured, "Hey,

We should try a new recipe."

Um, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.

Everything's great.

Okay, well, you know, I-- we have a lot of food,

[Sky] You have fun.

I don't wanna take away from your guests' experience.

Well-- well, come, I don't know, come hang out, at least.

I'm watching something.

[eerie music playing]

[Cam sighs]

[flies buzzing]

-[light switch clicks] -[door closes]

[Carolyn] "...the stalking period.

How long does it take for a restraining order

to go through," question mark.

Hey, Cam.

How's it going? [clears throat]

[Carolyn sighs]

Legal shit sucks.

Gio's an asshole and I smoked all my cigarettes.

That's a rough day.

Yeah.

You know, nothing clears my mind like a hot shower.

Hmm.

Night, Cam.

Don't work too hard.

[footsteps fading]

[typing]

[Carolyn groans]

[Carolyn sniffling]

[Carolyn sighs]

-...talking about? -Okay, sorry.

[Carolyn] I'm talking about how our economy

has completely gone down

since we stopped having our money attached to gold.

Did you ever read that--

[Cam sighs]

[eerie music playing]

[sighs]

Fucker!

[music crescendoing]

[sneezes]

[Wren sighs]

[sighs]

[sighs]

[ominous music playing]

[engine whirring]

[cars passing by]

[door closes]

[footsteps approaching]

Do you know the Slumlord would sometimes

go months watching people?

Inside their homes...

Seeing what they were really like, just...

observing them.

Hey, Cam?

Yeah?

When are you gonna cook dinner for me, you big chef?

I can cook you something.

Oh, yeah?

It's gonna have to be better than barbecue though.

-[fingers drumming on wall] -Scampi?

Just you and me?

[door closes]

Yeah, Ryan and I were best friends growing up

and so I had kn-- known him for 20 years.

And then after he was murdered,

you try to only think about

the nice things that somebody does.

But Ryan was a complicated guy.

And even after a little while of being in that house,

I mean, something was changing in him.

I don't know, I think, um,

I think that house changed him.

He was doing things that I--

I never would have thought he was capable of.

He was a different guy.

Scary.

[door creaks open]

[Wren] I don't know. He's just kind of boring.

[Wren speaks indistinctly]

[Wren chuckles] So I'm getting used to that.

You know, he's, like, um, like a game developer

for Twitter or something like that.

[Amber] Okay, and what's the problem?

He just won't make a move.

-[Amber groans] -[Wren] Yeah, like last night

we were watching some anime or whatever...

-[Amber] Mm-hmm. -...and, like, I'm rubbing

my leg on him, like, being so obvious, right?

And then he just won't make a move.

He won't do anything.

[Amber scoffs]

Anime has a way of sucking away a soul.

-I know, man. -[Cam scoffs]

[Wren] I wish a guy would take initiative,

-for once. -[Amber] Mm-hmm.

Like, give me a guy who'll just lay it all out

on the table and be like, "Here I am."

[Wren laughing]

[indistinct conversation on computer]

[Amber] I got you.

-[camera clicks] -[phone dings]

[Wren chuckles]

Oh, my God.

-No. No. -[Cam chuckles]

-[Wren] No. -[Amber] What?

[Wren] No, that's not-- that's not real.

That can't-- that can't be real, that's not--

No fucking way.

That's real.

That is a bona fide dick pic.

[Wren groans] Oh, God.

[Amber] An aggressive one, too.

He really got in there. Look at those veins.

Oh, God.

Oh, is that his dick?

[Amber] Yeah, he wears those jeans a lot.

The veins, though.

They're, like, mangled bark on an old tree trunk!

[Amber sighs, laughs]

[Wren] Please, okay, please, please delete it, right now.

[Amber] Oh, my God. He's texting you back.

-[phone keyboard tapping] -[phone dinging]

[Amber] "I'm so sorry. That was an accident"?

How the fuck is that an accident?

-Give me that. -[phone dinging]

Now what?

[Wren sighs] "It was supposed to be for my wife.

We had a big date night planned."

Those two sending naughty pics?

-No chance. -[phone dinging]

"It's our anniversary. It's a thing we do."

-This is awful. -[Wren laughs]

What do I-- should I-- should I say something?

I should respond, right? It's so fucking weird.

-You have to tell her. -Who?

Who?

His wife.

-[Wren] Really? -[Amber] Mm-hmm.

Oh, shit! Fuck!

[Wren] Kill me, kill me!

[Amber gasps]

[phone dinging]

[Wren] "I'm so humiliated.

Please, please delete that.

Don't tell anyone."

Okay.

Okay, fine. Yeah. I-- I'll text him.

[sighs] Weirdest text I've ever had to send.

[Amber speaks indistinctly]

[Amber scoffs] "Hope you have a good date night."

You fucking savage.

What? What? I was trying to be nice.

It looked like they were in for a good night.

-Ew! Honestly. -[Wren laughs]

[Wren] It's above average.

It's an above average dick, like, B+.

[Amber] Ew!

How many sad, pathetic dicks have you seen

if that looks good to you?

[Wren laughing]

-[Amber laughs] -[Wren groans]

[Amber sighs] Ew!

Fuck it. I need to watch something.

-[Wren chuckles] -[Amber sighs]

[upbeat percussion music playing]

[door lock clicks]

[footsteps approaching]

[Cam] Sky.

Sk--

What is this?

[Cam scoffs]

Did you know that they never actually confirmed his death?

Is that why we have a doorbell camera now?

-[Cam snickers] -[Sky sighs]

I saw a van.

You s--

I'm sorry, you saw a van?

[Sky] A white van.

On our street.

What does that mean, a...

Slumlord drives a white van.

No, no. Actually, no, Sky.

-We're not doing this. -If you look at the facts...

Let's not do this, Sky. Come on.

-...none of this make sense. -Oh, my God.

-If you look at the actual-- -Sky, you don't know--

-I'm sorry, sweetheart. -It is crazy!

You don't know the facts of the case.

-It's insane! -Sky, I'm sorry,

you just don't know the facts because the show--

Did you know that because it was settled internationally,

all the records remain public.

Yeah. Yes, I knew that, Sky.

-I'm a lawyer. -You're an insurance lawyer.

Okay. So, what?

You're convinced that he's alive because

you saw a van drive down the street?

They never confirmed with DNA.

It was all just based on, like, clothing and stuff.

They never even put his remains

through rigorous reassembly analysis.

-Rigorous reassembly analysis? -They don't know, Cam.

They don't fucking know for sure.

Okay. All right.

So, even if he was alive,

which, to me, he definitely isn't,

but if he was,

why would he come back here?

I mean, seriously. It's insane. That would be insane.

Everyone is watching the show.

[Cam sighs]

I...

I don't know.

[daunting music building]

[music stops]

[eerie music playing]

[Claire] Yeah, I always had kind of a--

a bad feeling about him.

He would linger a little bit too long in our conversations,

and we started noticing his van there when we would return home.

It started slow.

We think he was just coming around occasionally

when we weren't home.

It's strange to see the footage.

He was always strong...

but he has a bad right knee.

He's always walked with a limp,

and he needed these thick glasses to see.

It's almost impossible to imagine what he ended up doing.

It's hard for me to say.

He had a kind of curiosity.

That's putting it lightly, I...

He-- he had a kind of twisted fascination

to be a spectator into someone else's life.

Who knows what was going through his head if he...

had no idea it would lead to kidnapping

and killing and all that terrible stuff...

or if it was sinister from the start.

Sorry, I didn't realize you were here.

This is the ugliest thing I've ever seen.

Yeah, well, you know, Sky likes it.

Yeah.

You guys are doing your scampi thing tonight?

Sky, you're gonna drive yourself nuts doing that.

It's almost ready.

Bellissimo.

Oh, let me turn that off.

Let's go, detective. You're off the clock tonight.

Okay?

From our neighbors.

[Cam] Okay.

-Our tenants. -[Cam] Yeah. Yes.

Are they okay, or...

You need to stop bothering them.

[scoffs] What do you mean?

They're getting uncomfortable.

With the units? Huh.

[Sky] With you.

[Cam scoffs]

What?

What did they say?

Nothing direct, but she said

that you've been over there a lot and--

Who?

[Sky] Who?

Which one?

Why does that matter?

I don't-- I'm-- I'm wondering

if, I don't know, I said something to--

Cam, all your little chitchats

and your drop-ins, they have to stop.

I'm not doing anything, Sky. Okay? I'm just...

checking in-- I'm checking in--

Please, just be professional.

Respectful.

I am.

Hey, okay. All right, I'll do better.

From now on.

Didn't realize everyone was being so sensitive.

Over time, they became smaller,

more sophisticated, harder to detect.

There was no limit to how far he would go.

Yeah, I always had

What else would it be?

Honestly, I think this--

this thing could be anything.

You know, the things I have found

rummaging around this house.

-I'm gonna call someone. -What? Who? What? Why?

I'm gonna try to get in touch with someone from the case.

No, no, no, no, that is ridiculous, sweetheart.

Look, a fucking other one, okay?

All day, this random number has just been texting me.

I know it's him. "I know where you are.

No more hiding. I'm coming." He's coming.

Well, Carolyn, what do you think he's gonna do when he gets here?

You don't know how he gets 'cause you only see

the charming shit, all right?

But all the other time, he's at the gym

and his rage is, like, exploding,

so don't look at me like that!

Okay, come over.

Maybe we can just sit down for a second, right?

Yeah, just let's-- let's just hold on
