(mysterious whooshing)

(moaning)

- [Voiceover] We have breaking news on the latest...

(moans)

Which continue to have all of Western Oregon on edge.

Latest victim was just found in the downtown area

and we now go live to News 10's Veronica Chung

on the scene with more.

(moaning)

- [Voiceover] Thanks Dave, I'm here with veteran CDPD

Homicide Detective Carter Judson

who has the details on this latest gruesome murder.

(moaning)

- [Voiceover] Body was found at 2 o'clock this morning.

- [Voiceover] Do you have any suspects yet, Detective?

- With the victims wounds

and the (unintelligible) leads us to believe

that this murder was committed by the same suspect.

- [Voiceover] Is this the work of the Grim Reaper?

- Well that's the name that the medias using

that we don't particularity like but, yes.

We feel that this perpetrator is the same one

that has committed the last few acts of violence

and obviously we're doing everything we can

to apprehend this perpetrator and get this sort

of violence of behavior off of our streets

as fast as possible.

We have a full time crime unit that is strictly dedicate...

(moaning)

- Not so hard.

(he shushes)

- I'm not paying you to talk, okay?

(moaning)

(phone rings)

Yeah?

(indistinct talking)

No you called me.

Don't you talk to me in that tone of voice.

You know how late it is?

(indistinct talking)

(soft suspicious instrumental music)

No, I didn't ask for any excuses.

I didn't ask for any fucking excuses.

Hey you called me.

You interrupted me.

Excuse me, who the fuck do you think you're talking to?

What's that?

Hang on, I'll call you back.

(energetic suspenseful pop rock music)

(gunshot)

- The animal kingdom is a fiercely violent domain.

Animals kill for food, for territory, and for survival.

But there is one animal that's known to kill for pleasure.

Man.

We live in a world populated by angels and demons.

You're about to meet both.

(phone rings)

- [Janet] I saw you on TV last night.

- So what you think?

- The camera does add ten pounds.

- Hardy fucking har

and do you mind tell me what you are doing here?

- I work here.

Remember?

- Yeah, you're supposed to be on leave.

You know that.

- Not anymore.

I'm on the Reaper task force now.

(scoffs)

- Look Janet, this is a bad idea--

- The shrink passed me for active duty, okay?

And with the media breathing down your neck,

you need all the help you can get.

(phone rings)

- Okay fine.

We got three victims so far.

This psychos got a signature that's ready for feature film.

Who do you think they would get to play me?

Am I more of a Jamie Foxx, P Diddy, or maybe T.I.

- Who?

- Are you serious?

Wow you really don't get out much do you?

- What?

- Never mind.

Look it's my bet that the Reaper's already identify

their next victim.

- What else do you have worth knowing?

- We got a partial description, 600 confessions

from the usual nut jobs.

Did you know Wilma Flintstone maiden name was Slaghoople?

- It's nice working with you again, Judson.

(horn blares)

(upbeat slow dance music)

(upbeat pop dance music)

- What's your name, sweetheart?

- Angelica.

- Is that your real name or your working name?

- [Angelica] Am I that obvious?

- Don't worry, there's no shame in it.

We all have to make a living somehow.

- Look, we also got a psych profile on our perp.

You uh, you want to take a look see?

- Not really.

Shrinks never have anything to say worth hearing.

- But it says here, our killer is socially skilled.

Charismatic but sociopathic.

Deep anger management issues.

- So where you from?

- I just got off the bus from Kansas a week ago.

- [Man] So you're a farm girl huh?

- [Angelica] Not anymore

- You look nervous.

Don't be.

- I'm not.

It's just that I met a girl at the bus depot

who told me I could make enough money

for a deposit on an apartment and then I'll get,

you know, a real job.

- How's that working out for ya?

- Not so good.

What about you?

What do you do?

- I'm a stock broker.

Private wealth management.

Shit.

- [Angelica] What?

- You're too new in this town to know

who Mr. Ryan is.

That's one of his goons.

Mr. Ryan owns this club.

In fact, he owns most of Cuesta Verde

and if he sees you trying to work in his club.

- What, what will he do?

- He hurts girls like you, bad.

The good news is, I have a suite at the Excelsior.

What do you say the two of us get out of here, huh?

Yeah?

Let's go.

- You know, we never talked about the whole situation

when you were--

- Lost my marbles?

Went batty?

Gone El Pollo Loco?

- You were my partner.

I thought you knew you could talk to me about anything.

Was I wrong about that?

- You couldn't understand, Judson.

- You didn't even know this girl.

She was just, she was just some girl.

- She died in my arms, Carter.

She knew she was dying and there was nothing

I could do to help.

I was the last face she would ever see

and I didn't even know her name.

- I'm not saying it wasn't a fucked up situation.

- But we've seen it before, right?

Even though this poor girl who just turned 18

and her blood was all over me,

I should of been used to it by now.

Is that what you're saying?

Her name was Greta Lupino.

The department shrink it was unhealthy

to remember her name.

She's dead.

But not for me.

I learned everything I could about her family.

Her mother died in a hit and run.

Left her with nothing, she had to sell herself

on the street to survive until, until she took

the wrong guy down the wrong alley.

She said she could see someone but there was nobody there

and the look on her face, it was like relief.

She started to tell me something but all I heard was

"um" and she was gone.

I just, I can't get out of my mind.

I want to know, I want to know what she saw

and I want to know who she saw.

- One second.

What you got?

- Got a call from (inaudible).

- Right now?

Thank you.

Hey, we got a possible Reaper sighting.

- [Janet] Where?

- You're not gonna believe this.

- [Janet] Try me.

- Come on.

One of Leland Ryan's gentleman's clubs over

there by the freeway.

Since we put out a description, we get at least

10 sightings a day.

- But we're taking this one seriously, why?

- The girl was spooked.

Mentioned the eyes again.

- The eyes?

- Yeah, every witness says they've never seen

eyes like the Reaper.

Dark as night, piercing, soulless, etc., etc.

- Eyes are the windows to the soul.

- Yeah you got that right.

Matthew chapter six, verse 22 and 23.

Right?

Yeah.

(laughs)

I was held up in a hotel room and I'll had

to read was a bible.

(tense soft rock music)

- This place is gorgeous.

- [Man] You haven't seen anything yet.

- [Angelica] I'm sure.

- You know, you remind me of someone.

- Yeah?

- My ex girlfriend from college, Virginia.

Funny thing was, she was actually from Virginia.

- [Angelica] I hope she didn't break your heart.

- She died.

She's dead now.

- I'm so sorry.

- It was a long time ago.

(tense rock music)

- You gotta go.

Yo, lights.

- [Janet] Mr. Ryan.

- The whole city is terrified by this Grim Reaper.

It is bad for business.

- Three people are dead.

- We each have our own priorities.

Look, what I heard is the Reaper makes the victims suffer.

Right?

- The first wound is non fatal, yeah.

- Oh no, they died scared.

They get to chance to see themselves bleed out.

- I'm assuming you have a point here.

- A person like that,

someone who gets a thrill out of killing,

you can't control a person like that.

- And if you can't control them?

- They need to be put in a cage

or preferably six feet under.

So you just make sure that his psycho is out of my club

and off of my streets.

- Your streets?

(upbeat tense dance music)

- You don't seem like a man who needs to pay for sex.

- Sex isn't the most important part.

- Then what is?

- Honestly, loneliness.

- You can't be lonely, a guy like you.

- Everybody gets lonely.

You don't?

- Since I got to the city, maybe.

- Well for the next hour, neither one of us

needs to be lonely.

I'll give $1,000.00, cash.

And if that's not enough of an enticement,

room service has the best creme brule in the city.

- [Janet] So you were saying you saw someone?

- I didn't just see someone.

I saw the Grim Reaper, up close.

- When?

- They left about an hour ago, maybe less.

- They?

- [Janet] Are you saying you saw

the Grim Reaper leave with someone?

- Do you have any idea where they went?

- I heard the guy say something about the Hotel Excelsior.

- [Carter] Thank you.

- I have an idea.

You should do a little dance for me.

I have the perfect song.

- Cost you extra.

You said something about a creme brule.

(soft twangy country music)

(tense dramatic music)

- Don't worry.

I got mugged a few years back.

Carry this with me ever since.

Keep going.

(soft twangy country music)

You know what's funny.

The guy who mugged me, they caught him.

You know what happened?

They gave him three years.

Three years in jail for breaking my nose

and taking my wallet.

But if a woman reaches into your chest

and tears out your heart, if she ruins your fucking life

and leaves you broken and shattered, that's okay.

Cause there's no law against that.

Okay, that's perfectly legal.

- You know, I should go.

- You're not going anywhere.

We just started getting to know each other.

Come on, keep going.

I need you to understand me.

I need you to understand.

We were together for two years.

Two years and they were the best two years of my life.

Oh god I loved her so much and she was so beautiful

and sexy, just like you.

But I didn't know her, not really.

You see, I had this roommate, this troll named Brian,

he was an economics major.

As soon as she saw him, I knew, I knew.

I couldn't believe it, I couldn't fucking believe it

but I knew that she was gonna betray me.

I waited.

I bided my time.

I waited so long that I started to think that I was crazy.

What are you doing, where are you going?

Huh?

I thought I told you, I wanted to finish my story

and I want you to listen.

You got that?

You need to listen!

You know what, I'm gonna get my money's worth.

I want you take off the rest of your clothes right now.

I'm gonna watch you.

Now, where was I?

Oh Virginia and I.

We used to have plain Jane vanilla sex, it was boring.

But with him, I saw a whole new side of her.

She was different.

She was like an animal.

She was voracious.

She did shit with him that I couldn't even imagine.

It was dirty.

That's when I realized, I only knew her

when she was with me.

That wasn't who she was really was.

When she was with someone else,

she was completely different.

- What did you do?

Go on, tell me.

- You want me to tell you?

I learned not to trust bitches like you.

I learned to watch you.

Let's get this off.

Now, I'm gonna finish my story.

Ask me what I did.

- Did you kill her?

- Have you seen a man, well dressed, come in

with a young girl?

- Did you kill her?

Is that what you're trying to tell me?

- I wonder, I wonder just how many personalities

could this woman fit inside of her.

- [Clerk] 432.

(tense instrumental music)

- You know?

And which one, which one of these personalities

was the real her?

If you strip all the other ones away,

which one was the real her and how could I find out?

(tense dramatic music)

So that's when I thought, well maybe if I scare her,

if I scare her to death then I'll be able to tell

which one she truly is

and that's when I saw, I saw in her eyes,

I saw her soul.

(tense dramatic music)

- Do you want to know who I really am?

- You're the one they've been looking for.

No.

(gunshot)

(screaming)

Don't kill me, don't kill me, don't kill me!

(gunshot)

(gunshot)

(tense dramatic music)

- Call for backup, I'm going down.

- Got you covered.

- Why me?

Why me?

(tense dramatic music)

- The Grim Reaper, I presume.

- There is nothing grim in what I do.

Nothing at all.

- I can't let you go.

- I've never killed anyone innocent.

There is always a first time.

Wait a second.

I know you.

I saw you on TV.

You're the one who tried to save Greta.

- I didn't do anything, I just held her, that's it.

- You did more than that.

You cared.

The man I shot, the man upstairs.

- [Janet] What about him?

- He's the animal that killed Greta

and I should know, cause I'm her sister.

- The paramedics are on their way.

- [Carter] What about the Reaper?

- She got away.

- I can see her.

- Who?

Who do you see?

- Virginia.

- Victim was Charles Solomon, he was a stock broker.

He was with Lehman before the crash.

Oh and we found who Virginia was.

It was his ex girlfriend from college.

She died three years ago, car accident.

I guess he never stopped loving her.

And I've been thinking about what you said.

- About what?

- About Greta.

You said her mother died right?

A hit and run.

Well maybe, maybe she didn't say "um" before she died.

Maybe she said mom.

I don't know, I mean I could be wrong.

- No I hope not, I hope you're right.

By the way, did you get me that number I asked for

for Greta's sister?

- Couldn't, Greta Lupino didn't have a sister.

(tense instrumental music)

- [Voiceover] Last night the Grim Reaper struck again

and claimed another...

(energetic sensual instrumental music)

- Don't you know who the hell I am?

- Don't you know who I am?

I hear you like to hurt girls.

(gunshot)

(soft somber country music)
