[Donny]
Earth. A special planet.

And the home to so much life.

Birds, turtles
and golden retrievers.

Nice people, small people,
and weird people alike.

Los Angeles, California.

Four million people.

Entertainment
capital of the world.

♪

Some of the wealthiest
people on Earth.

But not everyone
has a place to sleep.

50,000 homeless people
line the streets of L.A.

It's a crisis.

Gentrification
squeezes its grip

on once
affordable neighborhoods.

Many are desperate for homes.

Housing hunters must
show teeth to win good deals.

On the brink of homelessness,

some do shocking
things to secure an apartment.

[ducks quacking]

But commit murder?

One year ago,
renowned artist David Hackneyed

was killed during
his apartment open house.

His body was found face down,
drowning in a bathtub of blood.

The murder weapon?

The wounds suggest
a butter knife.

The crime remains unsolved.

Four desperate
apartment hunters were present

at the open house that morning.

The first
is a fun and quirky priest

who goes by T-Dale.

The second, a spirit medium
named Klara O'Sho.

The third, an eccentric senior
citizen named Dizzy Daisy.

And finally,
a goth, medieval role-player,

who goes by Squire Naljaimon.
They are the suspects.

I'm Donny Wunder,
and I want to find out

who killed David Hackneyed,
and answer the question:

did housing desperation lead
to a murder in Los Angeles?

Come along with me
as I interview the suspects

and dive in headfirst.

You're watching my documentary,
and it's called...

[deep & distorted voice]
Killer Whales.

[tense music]

♪

You have no idea how much
paperwork I had to fill out

to get them to let me
leave my house for an hour.

Are we rolling?

Hi, I'm Donny Wunder.

♪

In 2019, I set out
on an artistic journey.

Are you rolling? Action!

I made a documentary
about the murder

-of artist David Hackneyed.
-David!

[reporter] ...to be this year's
most bizarre murder case.

It had the potential
to be a great film,

in the spirit of timeless
classics such as The Jinx,

The Makings of a Murderer
or The Staircase.

-Millions of dollars.
-But the dopes at the studio

got their hands on my film
and they made a mess of it.

They destroyed my movie
and I got tangled up in this.

And I'm the butt of the joke.

[Chelsea] Killer Whales
was always a big joke on Donny,

and eventually
the ding dong caught on.

To save face
and explain himself,

Donny asked to do
a director's commentary

on our cut of the film.
So, we figured--

-[P.A] Here's the juice--
-Jesus, fuck!

[P.A.] You-- you asked--
But you asked--

No! Tune in to
the flow of the space.

We let Donny do his
director's commentary.

What you are about
to see is my attempt

to take back my movie.

I'm going to say exactly
where the studio went wrong,

and you're going to
hear my side of the story.

You're about to see
Killer Whales as I saw it.

-Thank you.
-Enjoy.

♪

[news broadcast intro music]

Tragically murdered.
So, who was David Hackneyed?

[David] Visceral.
Um, all encompassing.

Entangled and, um, codependent.

[clearing throat] Next.

[male reporter] Twice voted
Bad Boy Artist of the Year,

David was
a notorious drug hound.

You know, Jesus was fit, too.
If you look at almost

any picture of Jesus Christ,
he's extremely shredded.

Look at that.
Hypodermic needles.

I used to do a lot of heroin.
That shit will kill you.

[snorting, grunting]

There we go.
There we go.

That's it. That's fucking it.

[male reporter]
But David was considered

a revolutionary within
the contemporary art world,

pioneering a style
of painting he termed "Climax."

[David] I call
these little circle jerks.

Just like when
you're a kid, you know?

It's innocent, you know?
It's what kids do.

The tongue
touches down on the body.

That's when the quivers come.
Quivers and the moans.

[vomiting]

This art can never be stolen.

They can do a fucking
D.N.A. test,

they're gonna
know it's me, because that's it.

[grunting]
You sexy baby.

[smooch] Oh, yeah.
Feels kind of good, huh?

[kissing art]

[grunting]

Yeah. You like that?
You like that?

[grunting]
I am David!

[Donny] It was
the story of a lifetime.

So, I made a pitch
video, and it found its way

into the hands
of a major studio.

Hey, camera rolling. Action.
Hello, Hollywood Studios.

My name is Donny Wunder,

and I have the pitch
of a lifetime for you.

I don't watch pitch videos.
They're fucking torture.

But my assistant Jenny watched
it, thought it was funny.

I watched it, and I took
on this project immediately.

Studios, I've never
made a movie before

in my entire life, but I was
called to make this movie.

It's like there's a tiger
in my chest that's like,

"Ah, Donny,
make this movie.

Yes! You have one life, Donny."

And I intend
to answer his call.

This train is going, and I
invite you to sit next to me.

And guess what? I'm a pretty
good passenger to sit next to.

And no, I've never made
a documentary before in my life,

but I've seen a whole lot.

Carl Sagan? I watched Cosmos.
How hard can it be?

[snorting] I wanted to see
this guy try to make a movie.

♪

So, Francis is going to
be here any second, as I said,

and I am pinching myself.

Um, I can't
hardly wait and, um...

[Francis] Excuse me,
I'm looking for this café.

You know, Francis
has been in a little bit

of hot water recently,
uh, in the press.

[man] Are you, um, Francis?
Francis Falconi?

And, you know,
and who hasn't in many ways.

And-- and someday when I'm
in hot water with the press,

I'm going to want to be treated

just like I was
before the bad press.

And so I'm going
to try and do that.

He, I think, has a style
that could really be nice

to sort of, um,
mentor me as an artist.

I'm envisioning
a good, uh, mentorship duo.

Uh, something along
the lines of, you know,

Samuel Beckett had James Joyce.

Uh, T.S. Eliot
had Pound.

-Francis.
-Hi.

Hi, Donny.
Donny. Donny. Donny Wunder.

Nice to meet you.
How are you?

-Uh, nice to meet you.
-Oh, God.

I don't want
to be in this fucking town.

I don't know how
the fuck you live in it.

It's disgusting.
The people fucking suck.

-Yeah, yeah.
-Whatever.

What do we got over here?

Uh, what have I been
doing since Killer Whales?

Um, well, now I direct Christian
values Hallmark Movies.

Yeah.

I didn't read the script.

Okay, there isn't--
there isn't a script--

I didn't have to, though,

because the fucking
title was brilliant.

-Did you write that?
-Yes, "Killer Whales."

Come on. It's great.
It's great.

Yes. That's my title.
Thank you. Thank you!

Every Hero's Journey
has its mentor.

Luke had Obi-Wan,
Harry had Hagrid,

and, uh, Donny had Francis.

I want you to do your thing.

I want you to
make it beautiful.

I want you to make it gorgeous.

That's what
I fucking do. I know.

And-- and bring
your art to this thing.

-Yeah.
-And, uh--

When you say "this thing,"
you're-- you're--

It's like a cat and mouse.
I don't understand.

-Yeah. Yeah. The-- the movie.
-Really. Yeah.

Um, we are making a movie
about trying to figure out

who killed
David Hackneyed, the artist.

Right.
So, David is a real...

-he's a real person.
-Well-- well he was.

I thought
I was clear on the phone

that we were
making a documentary.

And that was--
that was my fault.

Bonnie? Yeah.

Oh, no, I'm here. 7Yeah, yeah,
I'm here. I made it.

Life is great. Thank you.

Uh, quick question for you,

what the fuck
project is this?

Yeah. What do I mean?
I'll tell you what I mean.

I mean in a fucking boho chic,

stupid ass fucking cafe
in North Hollywood

with some fucking Poindexter
telling him what he should've--

He sounds like he's, oh,
making a fucking documentary?

Oh, are you fucking--

I don't make
fucking documentaries,

I make fucking films.

This is a fucking joke.

Tell me this is a joke.
This is a fucking joke?

Holy shit.

He looks
like a fucking child.

He's wearing
a fucking turtleneck.

Sweating my fucking
dick off over here,

he's wearing
a fucking turtleneck.

This is a fucking joke.
This is a fucking joke.

The, um, the way I--
I treated Donny

on the set of Killer Whales...

I was a very
different man back then.

I think if I put
a stool or a chair right here,

And-- and if you ask him,
then maybe I can ask him.

Why would I have you
right next to me?

Well, I just think if I'm kind
of shadowing you and we could--

-You want to shadow me?
-collaborate on that.

Why don't you shadow me
the fuck over there?

-Why don't you do that?
-Okay.

Here, shadow this.

-Why don't you go get that?
-Okay.

Go get that.
And just stay over there.

-Can I get you anything?
-No.

[Donny]
You want a cigarette, or...

Just get the fuck out.

So, Francis
interviews the suspects.

Donny... well, he didn't really
want Donny doing anything.

I think the line
he used for Donny was...

[both] You don't get to lay
a finger on expensive toys

like cinema cameras
until your fucking balls drop.

And I will check
when that time comes.

Or something.

[T-Dale]
Lord, we thank you so much

for bringing
Francis in here today.

Lord, we ask that
you give him blades

like you gave me
to ride off into the sunset

with you forever.
In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

Amen. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right,
let's get this on and poppin'.

[Donny]
People say to me: Donny,

you-- you got kicked
off your own movie set.

And I say no,
no, no, no, no, no.

I was called
elsewhere to do other work.

So, while Francis was
conducting the interviews,

I had to take the first
steps on my Hero's Journey,

which was to raise money
for the side investigations.

Okay, this is where
I ask for $10,000.

Um, I am standing in
front of Ryan Silver's office.

He is a family friend

and a very successful
vitamin business man.

Um. I am believing.
Positive thinking.

I'm going to go in there
and ask for what I want,

and I'm going to take it.
So, here we go.

Yeah, we could have
funded the whole movie

but we thought,
eh, let's see how this idiot

goes about
raising $10,000.

The thing about money is,

if you believe
that it comes to you easily

and without effort,
it does.

That's manifestation.

[Ryan chuckling]

Yes?

-[Donny] Hi, Ryan.
-Oh, hello.

[Donny] Donny Wunder.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

-[Donny] Oh.
-Thanks.

-[Donny] Sorry.
-No, it's okay.

-And Ryan, I have--
-We just keep everything

very, like, sacred and
intentional and focused here.

-Okay, yeah. Sacred.
-Hi.

I have a camera crew
with me if that's okay.

Of course.
Yes, yes. Um, just, sir.

Sir. If you could just
take your shoes off as well.

that would be... great.
You can just put them over--

As you see the,
um, the handmade boots?

What do you see?

I-- I see peace.

[Ryan]
Mm-hm. What else?

-Calm.
-[Ryan] Mm-hm. What else?

-Rocks.
-[Ryan] Do you see the abyss?

Yes.

All that is, is possibility.

[Donny] Right. And I want
to... Speaking of--

[Ryan] Just back
to the-- back to the...

-Oh, I'm sorry.
-We should do this.

-[Donny] Okay.
-Yeah.

Um, speaking of,
um, the possibility...

-That is really nice.

-Just off the bat?
-[Donny] Yeah. Yeah.

It just seems like
you've got a lot of...

-tension.

[Ryan] Yeah,
you've walked into this room

with a lot of tension,

and I want to make sure
you're absolutely primed and...

-just relaxed.

ever heard of Beta Brain?

-Beta Brain.

-[Donny] Uh, no. I like--
-I think it might

really help you.
Yeah. Beta Brain is--

So, I am, if you want
to just get a shot of this?

I'm on a whole raft
of, uh, cognitive enhancers.

[Donny]
Oh, a raft. Wow.

Yeah, I mean,
there's-- there's lecithin,

-there's, uh, Ginko "Balboa"
-Um...

They sell all this stuff
on my website.

-[Donny] Okay.
-Yeah, so, I-- I, um, if you...

-[Donny] I'll find... yeah.
-Just-- Yeah.

-If you go to ryansway.org...

Uh...

-In terms of the project...

-[Ryan] Yeah.
-We would love to have you

-a part of this.
-Yeah, uh, in like a kind of,

in a director sort of advisory
role, I would love to.

I--
Here, I have some thoughts.

-[Donny] Wonderful.
-[Ryan] So, your style.

-[Donny] Yes.
-Kind of, um...

-It's very auteur.
-[Donny] Mm.

Uh... have you thought
about being more professional?

That's a thought we could
take into consideration.

Do you mean, uh...

[Ryan] Well, no,
it's just, it's very guerilla.

It's very, very,
very, very guerilla.

I-- I guess
I just mean, like, more...

You seem tense
again. Let's-- let's--

I... need...

[Ryan] Let's-- let's both--

let's both actually
just have some rock garden.

[Donny] Yes.

[Ryan] So, waves
in the rock garden

and think about
the waves in your own life.

So, from you, Ryan,
what I'm hoping for is...

$10,000.

[Ryan] Yeah. And what
I like about you

is that you're unafraid to ask.

I'd like to read you
a proverb, if I could.

-[Donny] Okay.
-Um, it's about mistakes.

"It is all right to
forget your mistakes...

if you remember their lessons."

And, Donny, in a lot
of ways this film is a mistake.

Uh...

Rule number one
of making a movie:

never, ever, ever, ever
count on family coming through,

because they won't.
Especially not family friends.

Do you think I should just let,
like, keep it regular?

Or do you think I should...

[clearing throat]
Uh, tell us a little bit

about yourself?
Who are you?

Well, I used to be
a stockbroker on Wall Street.

You know, I used to live
the high life, uh...

I was at all the parties,
used to do a lot of the drugs,

used to do a lot of the drinking
and a lot of the "bad stuff--"

So, you have somewhat of a--
a dark past,

-is what you're saying.
-I don't really remember

too much of it, but, you know,
I'm a good guy now.

-I'm a good guy now.
-I can relate. I can relate.

Well, let's talk
a little bit about the day.

I was losing a few
members to the church

across the street.

You-- you-- you
always wear those?

Oh, these are my blades.
I blade for Christ.

It was a typical Sunday.
I was doing my sermon.

Um, and I left
early to make sure

I got to

Okay, so-- so you--

Who was at the open house?
Were you--

Anyone else there
while you were there, or...

No, no, no.
I was the first person there.

Okay. Okay. And what
was the energy like inside?

The vibe. What was
going on? What did you--

what did you feel?

The vibe was weird,

Hello?

Francis insisted that

space we got, man.

even more naked, so I just

need you to shift everything

stories from your car, and...

-All right, man.
-All right, love you, Eagle!

Yeah man, I just don't know why
you want to get out of here.

You've got to fix your values,
man, because look at this--

Nah, I agree.
For real. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, he's a really
interesting guy.

He, uh, sold his
house to finance his Mustang

and he just lived out
of that thing right next to me.

I don't know why.

We were in
a parking lot of a Taco Bell,

and that's just where
he wanted to make his life.

Some people come
by they look at me,

they say, "That's a nice car."
I say, "Man, I know.

I know.
You don't have to tell me.

I tell myself
every second, every single day.

They say,
"What part of town you live?"

I say, "I live right here, man.
I live right here."

so much wisdom from a person

not really knowing

Oh, you're going to your thing.

Hey, man, what time

[T-Dale] Later!

You wanna listen
to some tunes later?

It's '80s night.

[laughing] I was broke.
You know what I mean?

had me go to a back of a--

I don't know,
Costco or something like that.

I would've paid
rent for that at the time.

Excuse me? Excuse me?

-Do you guys have pork? Pork?
-[man] Pork? Yes.

[Donny] Do you--
What's, like, the biggest size?

Do you have a whole pig?

[man]
Only three pounds.

[Donny] Three pounds.
Okay. And that's the biggest--

No full pig?

[man] No, yeah,
pig, no, no, no.

[Donny] Okay. Okay.
Thank you. Appreciate it.

[Chelsea]
I let Donny fumble around town

as Francis continued
with the initial interviews.

[chuckling] And boy,
did this kid not disappoint.

I think he was coming
off a Mythbusters marathon,

which was great
because then things got cookin'

on his forensic journey.

We got a pig.
Um, I contacted my friend.

His name's Tanner.

Runs a place
called Tanner's Oink House.

And, uh, apparently
he's got the pig rig,

uh, set up for us already.

Um, and it's one of these.

I think he
said it's number one.

So, what we're doing
here is we are testing

if a butter knife
could pierce the skin of a pig,

um, and thereby piercing
the skin of David Hackneyed.

So, this is
the time where we tick off

whether this could be
the murder weapon or not.

My theory is that-- Oh.

[clearing throat]

It's got a look in
its eye. Whoa, fuck.

A surprised look. Lit it...

It's lit up like a murder scene.

Okay, um...

[sighing]
We're going to see.

Oh! Oh.

[coughing and gagging]

No! No. Ugh.

Ooh!

It's the weakest-- Oh, fuck.

[retching]

Help me. Help me.
[retching]

It's not the butter knife.
There is no way this pierces

any pig skin
or David Hackneyed skin,

and so we're going
to relay this to Francis.

-We're going to tell him...
-[lightly retching]

We're going to
talk about the murder.

And-- and-- and--
and please take your time

with this if you
have to.

How did you react?

I mean, how would you react?

I'm supposed to go back to my
car. [indistinct]

Wow.

Well, these ain't
half bad.

I'm still mad at you.

You know, I'ma wait
here until you come out.

I'll just be sitting
right here. All right?

I ain't leaving
until we sign a lease.

Month to month if you got it.

And then you
just see Dizzy walk out

with the blood on her
hands and you're just like,

"What did I get myself into?"
You know what I mean?

♪

[T-Dale grunting]

[Dizzy sighing]

Um... uh, what...

[Dizzy] What's that?

What is that?

It's blood, honey.

So, in your mind, you...

you think that Dizzy did it?

Oh, my God. Absolutely.
Without a doubt.

[trippy music]
[muffled whispering]

I saw a butt naked guy
face down in the tub

with blood all over the walls.

It was, like, gruesome.

It was like Elvis Presley
meets The Red Wedding.

It was just disgusting.

[horrific music]

It was terrible.
It was terrifying.

Just one more question
and I'm going to let you

get back
to doing your God things.

If you did it,
if you murdered somebody...

what would T-Dale do?

[dramatic music]

[Harry choking]

♪

[grunting]

[Francis] Cut!

[spitting]

I...
would probably hire somebody.

But that's neither
here nor there.

See, I-- I didn't kill her.

I was in the, uh, the kitchen.

Well, T-Dale first
said he was asleep in bed

when the murder happened,
and then he said

he was in the kitchen
checking out the appliances.

So,
there's that inconsistency.

It kind of makes you go...
huh.

I heard a scream
from the other room.

She was in the bathroom
by herself with him.

Had nothing to do with me.

So I just want to put
that out there. You know.

God, strike me down
if I'm lying. [chuckling]

[Donny]
Oh, I trusted him.

But I've learned
that in this town,

literally no
one is trustworthy.

And so maybe
T-Dale is good guy,

becomes bad guy,
and kills.

I was curious.

So, Francis
and I went on to conduct

what would become
known as the splatter test.

What day is it? What
time is it? What's going on?

[Donny]
It's-- it's around midday.

Mm. Fucking great. That's
fucking pig's blood, bitch.

-Is that real?
-Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

All right, so where's David?
What's he doing?

Was he in the shower?
Is he over here?

David is in the bathtub.

-[Francis] He's in the tub?
-[Donny] Yeah.

-Okay, get to, stay right there.
-Okay.

-Lay down. Lay down in the tub.
-Okay.

Taking a little sponge bath,
you know what I mean?

Hanging out. We're having a--
David's having a good time.

-Yes,
- He doesn't know he's gonna get

fucking killed, all right?
Okay.

Come over here.
I don't like that.

I fucking hate that, actually.
Spin over here.

Over here. That's good.
Up like that. Up like that.

Taking a bubble
bath, bubble bath,

bubble bath,
bubble bath. Boom. Right?

-So, he's hanging out.
-[Donny] Okay.

-He's hanging out.
-[Donny] Yeah.

-It's fucking midday.
-[Donny] Yeah.

Maybe closes his eyes.
Maybe he does that.

-Okay.
-And then fucking boom.

He's fucking done.
He's done. All right?

-So, I'll come up here.
-[Donny] Okay.

-There's the shot.
-[Donny] Okay.

[Francis]
There's the fucking shot, right?

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

-That's the fucking scene.
-That's the tension.

-Because the blood...
-Yeah.

[Francis] We're going
to fucking drown you in it.

Poor it in over the sides.

I want it on your fucking toes,
your dick, I wanna be--

No one knows. What's cut off?
What the fuck happened?

-Wait, you're not gonna--
-What the fuck happened?

-[Donny] In terms of the pig--
-What the fuck happened? Huh?

A fucking
murder happened, right?

-That's right. That's right.
-That's what fucking happened.

-But in terms of the pig blood--
-That's the fucking scene.

Is the pig's
blood going to be on me?

As a film subject,

you have to be
good about boundaries.

You have to set boundaries

or you're going
to get bulldozed.

It's gonna be everywhere.
All over the place.

So, what do
you think about that? Huh?

I-- I think it's
incredible. I don't know--

I think I'm going to have
to set a boundary before...

But a great film
director will cross boundaries.

Will violate boundaries.

Take your clothes off.

I'm going to shoot
this motherfucker. Okay?

Good job. Good job.

Boundaries. I--

I did a lot
of boundary work in--

in therapy and I learned
so much about them.

Um, I-- I learned in particular

that when an
individual says no,

that they mean that
they don't want you to--

to-- to cross that.

I didn't know that before.

[deeply sighing]

-How we doing, kid?
-Good.

-Yeah. Nervous?
-Yeah.

-Don't be.
-Okay. Okay.

-You got this.
-Okay.

-Close your eyes.
-Okay.

You know who you are?

-I'm Donny Wunder.
-The fuck you are.

-Close your eyes.
-Okay.

You're-- You're David.

I'm David?

-David.
-Okay.

But here you are.

Just wanted to do
a little tubby time.

Okay.

Tubby time. Just relax.

-Just a boy in the tub, right?
-Mm-hm.

-But guess what?
-Hm?

Someone wanted
to murder you today.

-You trust me?
-Mm-hm.

-Okay.
-Okay.

-There you are.
-Mm-hm.

-There you are.
-Mm-hm.

Your throat has
just been sliced.

[haphazardly choking]

Goodbye, David.

I'm going
to miss you, little buddy.

Now, the splatter test
was all about

figuring out just
what is blood like?

What does blood
feel like on the skin?

What color is blood
when it's resting in a bathtub?

At what rate does
blood travel through the air

once it leaves your body?

These are the questions that
the splatter test answered.

[trippy music]

[buzzing]

Gold.
That was gold. I'm happy.

I'm proud of you. All right?

Hurry up.
Clean this up, too, okay?

We've got to go.
We've got to move.

[clapping]
Moving on! Moving on!

Well, what we got
from the splatter test,

what we learned, was that
there was a lot of blood.

Like, a lot of blood.
Too much.

And so with that information,

we went on to speak
with our next suspect.

I am Klara,
and I see, um, spirits

and, uh, can do séances
and see energies.

Yours is beautiful.

It's like a red,
beautiful, big red color.

I'm sorry. That's what you do?

-Yes.
-All right. Well, let's--

let's just go to--
Let's talk about the, uh...

[clearing throat] murder
in the open house.

Uh, where were you the morning
of the, uh, open house?

I was with my friend, Peggy.

[woman]
I've been waiting for you.

She had taken me
to this, uh, this space.

I'd been there once before,

but it seemed
different this time.

She brought me to a new room.

Men-- Um, mental institution.

Is that what it's called?

Well, why--
I mean, how did you end up

at a mental institution?

Oh, uh, the first time,

uh, I had had an
experience with ayahuasca,

which I've had
many experiences with.

Always...
Well, almost always good.

Except for this one time.
I'm going to fucking kill you!

[screaming]

Oh, yeah. She assaulted someone
high on ayahuasca. Mm-hm.

A bad spirit had
found me and, uh, had--

had used me as
a way to talk to everybody.

No one ever let it talk.

[screaming]
Yeah, I had a lot to say.

Um, uh, well, let me ask,
what's your relationship with--

with, uh, with Peggy Diglett?

She has a beautiful
soul in the middle,

then it gets a little dark,

then it kind
of spirals a little bit.

We had a really
hard time tracking down

this Peggy character.

But sometimes as an artist,
you have to step up.

Hi, I'm Peggy Diglett.

[clearing throat] No. Hello,
hi, I'm Peggy Diglett,

I'm nurse here at
the psych ward.

I'm a nurse.
Hi, I'm Peggy.

You have to fill in
that void, take a risk,

and do what you have
to do to make the scene work.

Hi, my name is Peggy Diglett.

I have worked here
at the ward for five years.

Hm. And what are
your qualifications?

Well, Francis,
my qualifications are that

I have been a nurse here
at the ward for five years.

-[distant screaming]
-Excuse me.

It's so funny when you have
patients and you try so hard

to keep them steady and you
try to keep them peaceful

and well-behaved.
And every once in a while,

they make noise.
And you have to--

Usually I'm there to
do something about it.

Would you say
you're a good nurse?

I can say
my record speaks for itself.

99.9% of the time.

Okay. Well.
Let's cut to the chase.

Please.

[clearing throat] Klara.

-Mm.
-[Francis] O'Sho.

What's your
relationship with her?

Klara is not
the sweet little bunny

she makes herself out to be.

No, she's not doing so well.

It's like a little
squirrel burrowed some nuts

in her brain. Some walnuts.

She knew my love, Squire.

She knew him first
and then I met her through him.

And, uh,
she's become a good friend.

Is that my boyfriend?

Well, then why
don't you come down here

and find out if I am?
Come pick her up.

What did he say?

Is he coming to get me?

Oh. Are you upset
that Squire Naljaimon

-is with me and not with you?
-[Donny] Hah!

I think she did it, yeah,

I think it's pretty,
um, one of those things

that when you really think
about it, it must have been.

-[woman screaming]
-You know what,

I got another
name here that you might--

might ring a-- a, you know,
might trigger something.

Squire Naljaimon?

-Where are we going with this?
-Oh, you tell me.

I can tell you that
he's not a very good man.

Though he tries
very hard to seem so.

I can tell you that
he's not such a loyal servant.

I can tell you
that if you throw a stone

on Sunset Avenue,
you'll hit a woman

that Squire Naljaimon
has dated.

Oh.

[jaunty woodwind instrumental]

Greetings. Salutations.

That's a hell of an
entrance you got there, buddy.

Well, I do have
a flair for the theatrics.

Yeah, that's... crazy.

-Uh, what-- Is that an eagle?
-Oh.

This is the earpiece
of [indistinct].

It is made entirely
of grouse tail feathers.

-Grass feathers?
-Grouse.

-Grass feathers.
-Grouse.

-Grouse?
-Grouse.

Uh, in meaning the
representative of the spiral,

uh, when it comes energetically,
uh, symbolic-wise.

Great, so-- so
you're Squire Naljaimon?

In the flesh.

And you guys
are-- are-- are together?

[chuckling]
Newly married. But a fortnight.

As you can see, our rings.

The stones grow more powerful
when they come together.

So, when they touch.

[clearing throat] Um,
let's-- let's talk about--

let's-- let's talk--
let's please talk about

that open house.
Let's get to that.

What happened on
the way to the open house?

Let's back it up a little bit.

That morning I awoke at dawn,

my heart heavy with sadness,

for that was the day

that I had to tell
my then roommate, Darren,

that I was moving out.

We awoke, we readied ourselves

for a game
of Chaucer's Dungeon.

The role of a fine
director is to be able

to extract these performances.

And that dungeon scene
is a perfect example of that,

where you have these
vulnerable,

talented actors,
who have done the research,

and the prepared director
pulling that from them.

It's fine cinema.

the Dragon's Pass.

Ah, but you rolled snake eyes.

Yes, [clears throat],

We go.

I encounter the Dorics.

And the pawn

we are reminded that
we must whisper!

Whispers only

I roll to destroy the Dorics.

Ah, but you roll

However, it is true.

He was too--
Uh, what's the word?

so clear on things.

So spiritually there,

that I just don't
see her killing anybody.

So we had to expand our reach.

We had to cast a wider net

-And it's Francis?

James was David's
neighbor.

And this interview
marked the moment in my journey

where the mentor said,
"Come along with me. Join me."

And what I mean by that
is Francis let me be there

for that interview.

So just relax.
Just look straight ahead.

Okay.

And just be as honest

-And you're gonna let me...

if we address the,
uh, elephant in the room?

Oh, the eye?

uh, in a wreck.

Uh, got hit in
a head on t-bone.

Wow, I'm sorry--
sorry to hear that.

But then I was in
the emergency room

and I was just sittin' there

and I just could
not stop scratchin' it.

And they said,
"You stop scratchin' it."

And I said, "Okay."

But I just could
not stop scratchin' it.

I don't know what it was.

And I woke up in
the middle of the night

and the next night
and I was still scratchin' it.

And they said,
"You gotta stop scratchin'

or you gonna give yourself
a subconjunctival hematoma."

So I put--
So they put on this, uh,

stop me scratchin' it.

Oh, this is
the neighbor who was murdered.

Could you say, that
looking back now a year ago,

did you foresee anything
like this happening to David?

Well, no. It-- it would've
been December, this was.

No, he was
murdered [clearing throat].

David was murdered a year ago,
July 1st.

Not December.

No, no, no, it was--
Am I wrong? It was December.

-Nope.
-We didn't get a lot from James.

Where were you
a year ago July 1st?

-Where were you, buddy?
-Paris, France.

Not at home?

to the people in this place.

You're drinkin' early.

I-- I can't have
you just living here like this.

This is, like, it's unsafe."

Why don't you come
see my chicken over here?

"Your chicken's dead."
All that kind of stuff.

-[lounge music]
-No, he's just asleep.

-He's not asleep, Auntie.
-He's just asleep.

Oh my god,
Auntie Diz, that's dead.

Let me show you.
Let me show you.

Don't touch, Auntie! Please!

No, he's just sleeping.
We'll wake him up.

She says,
I'm taking you to a home.

I look at her,
dead cold in the eyes,

I said, "No, you're not."

Dizzy, I'm not
playin' anymore, okay?

It's not safe for you here.

You got dead
animals lying around.

You need to go to a home,

where they can
take care of you.

I found a nice place.
It's called Oak Manor.

I'm not goin' there.

I already found another place

and I'm not going
to tell you where it is.

Then I'll drag you out.

Then you're
gonna have to catch me.

Have you ever had
your niece evict you?

It doesn't happen very often.

[footsteps]

[lounge music]

[thwack]

No! You get down there.
You get down there.

-Stop! Stop! Stay still!
-You get down there.

-You stop that.
-Hey! What the?

We run around the place
a couple times, up the stairs,

I lock her in the bathroom.

[thwack]

And what
happened when you arrived?

When I arrived at the open
house, I had scooted over.

[sexy lounge music]

I go in, I see a pair
of roller blades by the door,

I say, "That's too much fun."

And I look around,
we've got two people there.

And they are so sweet.

They look like cute,
little, happy people.

[Klara and T-Dale]
Auntie Diz!

[Dizzy]
Aw, look at you! Oh, dear.

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

Leopard print,
are you kidding me?

I would've lived in that shoe,
if they let me.

What did you make
of T-Dale and Klara?

Well, T-Dale, I thought,

was a deeply,
deeply handsome boy.

[techno music]

[Klara laughing]

And, uh, but he didn't
like me after the knife.

He said, "I don't trust you.
You're a danger."

He said,
"You're an absolute danger"

and I thought,
at by that point,

any sorta sweet talkin'
him wasn't--

It was a dead end.

Well, T-Dale
says you were dangerous

and Klara said
you had a "bad spirit."

What do you think about that?

Huh, well they don't
know the half of it, do they?

[psychedelic techno]

♪

Well, it doesn't
stop there with Dizzy.

You know, Dizzy's
been married three times.

Three gorgeous marriages.

Pretty boys.
And, uh, all of them have died.

Um, first one, came tumblin'
down a flight of stairs.

His head smashed like
a pumpkin at the very bottom.

It spilled.
It was a nasty scene.

I didn't do it. Least
I don't remember doin' it.

I could've. I don't know.

They tell me I didn't.
It was an accident.

Second one, well he wanted to--

he wanted
a proper Christian burial,

but I got him cremated 'cause
he wasn't very good to me.

Third one, third one died,

and we were just
walkin' over a bridge.

We were walkin' right
over a bridge in New York.

What do they call that one?
The Washington Bridge.

I said, "Honey, it's so,
it looks so nice out here."

And he said,
"You're always walkin',

you're always tryin'
to walk right away from me.

Why don't
you walk right next to me?

You're too--
You're lookin' around

when you should
be lookin' at me."

And next thing I knew,
he's flyin' off that bridge.

Next thing I knew,
he's tumblin' wooooo, you know.

Like a train goin'
through a tunnel. Woo.

That's the last I saw of him.

Except at the memorial service.

Hard to cry when they hur--
when they treat you so bad.

Um, why did
you go to the bathroom?

I understand you went
to the bathroom at some point.

I could damn-- damn near,

couldn't keep
anything left in my stomach,

so I had to go to
the bathroom to drain it.

[ominous music]

[repeated splashes]

Music's blarin'.
I can't hear a thing.

I know David's in there.
Uh, but I don't look for him.

I can't... damn near,

can't remember
where exactly he was.

[ominous music]

I wash my hands in the sink.

Splish, splash.
Get 'em all wet. Wash 'em up.

I go to dry my hands,
I can't find a towel.

I think I see one.

[ominous music]

I was later told, "No,
Dizzy, that wasn't a towel.

That was his bloody shirt."

All right.
Well, what happened afterwards?

I leave. Come out.
I look, I say, "Hello honeys."

They're lookin' at me

like I'm some kinda
Halloween monster you buy

at the-- the party
store down the street.

[ominous music]

Well, fuck.

And that's when T-Dale come,

go walkin' in the bathroom.

He see the dead body and David.

He go,
"Uh, you killed this man."

"I knew there was
somethin' wrong with you.

Waving that knife around."

Do you-- do you have an idea

of why maybe the cops
might've thought you did it?

Well, I'm guilty

of a whole laundry
list of things, honey.

Murder might be one of them.
But I didn't kill David.

-For me,
-[clears throat]

let's backtrack a second here.

You have a history
of some dead husbands.

Yeah, sure.

-You go to an open house--
-Yeah.

Of an apartment
you're obsessed with, right?

You're escaping
another place of living.

Uh, you walk in,
you pull out a--

you pull out a knife.

-Yes, I do.
-You wave it around.

I wave it right
round like a game.

Right? You threaten people.

And then you black out

and you walk out
with blood on your hands.

I'm mean, I-- I-- it, you br--

You, do you see why
you are a prime suspect

in this case?

Well, look at you.
You some kinda lawyer?

Building a case against me?

The other ones couldn't--
couldn't finish the job.

They couldn't lock me up.

Did you murder David?

Did you murder David?

Are you guilty of murdering
Da...

[Donny] Incoming!

Oh, what
the fuck are you doing?

-Dizzy, I got your Robitussin.
-Ah.

Are you kidding me?
Are you fucking kidding me?

Right now, you wanna walk
in front of the rolling camera?

Well, he's
going to blow his dick.

This is your movie.

This is your movie
that you're fucking up!

What happened was,
I was instructed by both Dizzy

and Francis to keep the bag
on my head the whole time.

They said don't
ever take it off.

And Dizzy asked me
to deliver her Robitussin.

And so I'm
following instructions.

But I found myself
in the line of fire.

You can go back
to Idaho and make films

about barnyard fucking animals!

For all I care,
'cause you are fucking done.

Well, you...

You hear me?
You are fucking done!

I will bury you!

I am a fucking filmmaker!

And I know,
just having been on film sets,

I know that anger
and film director

go hand-in-hand
like brother and sister.

Where the fuck are we? Huh?

You bring us in a fucking
dungeon? Playing games?

Where the fuck are we?

How about that?
Where are we? Where are we?

You should see me.

[awkward chuckle]

You should see me when I'm mad.

Because when I'm mad it is,

-[loud exhale]
-Wow, it's scary.

I have been working on this
film for three fucking weeks!

Three weeks!

Sometimes when I'm
freaking out on set,

I'll go, I'll go,
"Screw you, jackass!" Heh!

And everyone will go,
"Whoa! Who said that?"

And-- and, they'll
look to the director.

And I'll be-- I'll be so upset.

-[crash]
-You go off, you go off.

You want your skittles?
Go get 'em!

-You go off, you go off.
-Go get 'em.

Honey, you get worse.

-[clatter]
-You ruin your film.

-Fuck you!
-You ruin your little film.

Fuck everybody!
Fuck it! I'm outta here.

I dare you,
I dare you to fuck me.

I left the film.

And, that broke
the court order.

And I had to do
a month in prison.

And that was rock bottom.

Um, therefore,

if anyone is in Christ,

he is a new creation.

[faint organ music]

The old has passed away.
Behold, new is come.

Corinthians 5:17.

Heard the film went
to shit too after I left,

so... huh.

-Little victories, yeah.
-[throat clearing]

[faint song on radio]

Francis took off this morning.

Um, and he left
us with the bill,

which is going
to put us in the hole.

Ah, there's no
easy way to say that, um.

But Francis really
did what any good mentor does,

and that's
that he led me to myself.

He left me
to come to understand

that this is my
movie and that I'm ready.

Donny, you're ready
to make this movie.

You're ready to finish it.
And that's invaluable.

That's priceless. And so,
thank you, Francis Falconi,

for showing me that I'm ready.

Thank you.

-We're gonna do it.
-[exhales]

I called Donny
to apply a little pressure.

I went to film school.
USC. Fight on!

-Chelsea, hey.
-[Chelsea] Don, hey.

Now, we need
those deliverables. Okay?

-Oh.
-[Chelsea] We need footage.

Oh. Well... that's...

[Chelsea]
Donny, I'm, fuck it,

I'm
gonna pull the goddamn plug.

No, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no.

Don't pull the plug.

Donny, don't
pull the plug. We are so--

[Chelsea] Shut the fuck up.
You know what success is?

Success
is something you murder.

Stir the pot a little bit.

Right, well,
the case is almost closed.

[Chelsea] I'm not going
to call you again.

So, we'll de--
we'll get those results

and we'll deliver those to you.

-[Chelsea] Don't fuck with me.
-Right.

-[Chelsea] Do not fuck with me.
-Okay, all right.

-[Chelsea] Go away. Bye.
-Okay.

Bye bye.

I am-- I'm having
an anxiety attack.

I quit. I'm-- This is done.

[birds chirping]

Stop.

Ugh.

[traffic din]

[groaning]

I think he handles his stress
in a very healthy way.

Ah, laying out
and taking in the sun.

Seeing his family.

And his anxiety,
if he has anxiety, is...

You get the sense he's
not holding too much of it.

And that it's,
that it's all out there.

And yet, he's so very calm.

It's inspiring.

And, ah, I think,
the stress I'm feeling now,

and the anxiety I'm feeling now

doesn't mean
anything in his world.

Ah, because
he's not carrying it.

He's carrying something but I--

I don't have
to know what that is.

And to know that he doesn't
know about Francis

or the money
problems or any of that,

I find that very calming.

So this has been special

to have some
time with my friend.

And so it was
back to square one.

I am so proud of myself
for not giving up my journey.

I'm so proud
of myself for not quitting.
