- Ah, you're awake.

That's good.

It's better when they're awake.

Look at me, Maggie.

Look at me.

Look at me, Maggie.

Look at me!

What?

I'm working.

This is my private time.

Is it so difficult for you to give me a moment alone?

No, we've talked about this.

Babies cry.

Oh, no, no, we've been through this.

No.

Listen to me!

If you're that worried about it call a doctor,

but don't bother me again tonight.

I'm working on a special project.

Help!

Shut up!

- Help!

Help!

When I was 15 years old I barely escaped with my life

from serial killer, Cordell ray Colton.

Otherwise known as the east bay butcher.

He brutally murdered 16 women

and is suspected of killing five more.

He abducted them, tortured them,

and ultimately strangled them to death.

He was called the butcher because he hogtied his victims;

he tied their hands and ankles behind them,

and then stabbed them repeatedly postmortem, like a butcher.

I was lucky.

Lights please.

That night changed my life.

I went to school and I got a doctorate

in clinical forensic psychology and I wrote a book.

And that's what brings me here.

This semester, we will delve into the mind

of the serial killer.

Through the study of their actions and psyches,

we hope to see the signs and predict

this type of behavior before it happens.

So, that's my spiel.

Any questions?

About the syllabus?

Okay, we have 10 minutes.

Ask away.

- It, it was a mistake.

- A mistake?

That's bold because he left me, he left our daughter-

- I didn't leave Jenny.

For a girl that was just a few years older.

- That's unfair. - Tell me about it.

- Maggie, Richard is trying to tell his truth.

- He slept with a student at the school where we both teach.

Okay, so his truth is he should be fired.

- Look, if that's what you want-

- but I keep my mouth shut in order to protect him

and to protect our jobs and to protect

our daughter's future.

I still haven't told Jenny.

- Thank you for that.

- Yeah, so she doesn't understand why

I suddenly kicked her father out of the house.

She thinks I'm the bad guy.

I'm the bad guy while he's running around-

- I never meant to hurt you, I just-

- no, I don't even know what I'm doing here.

We're separated and nothing is gonna change.

Just tell me why.

I mean, why did you do it?

I thought we were good.

Weren't we good?

- Yeah, Maggie, we were good.

- Jenny?

Hello?

Hey.

- So, how was it?

Predictively awful.

- Oh, tell me you didn't cave.

- Oh, no, no, nothing has changed.

He's still staying at the hotel.

We're staying separated and I'm staying miserable.

- Okay, that's the wrong attitude.

We're going out tonight, get you in the right head space.

- Oh, I, I can't.

I really need to spend time with Jenny.

Hey, you need to give yourself a break.

Listen to some music, have a couple of margaritas.

- Oh, hold on.

Hello, yo?

- What? - You wanna grab a pizza?

- Oh, no, I can't.

I'm crashing at Renee's tonight.

Sorry.

Well, well, sounds like your

social calendar just opened up.

- Yep.

So what time?

- See, isn't this better than sweatpants and ice cream

and feeling sorry for yourself?

- Hm, no, nothing's better than ice cream and sweatpants.

- Girl, if you truly believe that, you really need a man.

- That is the one thing I do not need.

- Oh, a man for the moment.

A fling.

No thanks.

- Maggie, you're an amazing, beautiful, brilliant woman.

You deserve a man that treats you that way.

Let's find you one.

Come on.

Hm, okay, let's see who's here tonight.

Too old.

Mm mm. - Oh, my god.

We're not doing this.

♪ And that's magic ♪

- Too married.

Um, mm mm.

Mm, oh my god, don't look.

I went out with that guy last week.

Don't look! - Which?

I was just trying to see which one.

- Mustache.

- Okay.

Oh, he saw you.

- Oh my god, he's a creep.

I swiped right, we went out for a drink,

he asked to come back to my place 'cause he's got roommates.

He's 40!

Who has roommates at 40?

- Oh, he's coming over.

- Hey, gorgeous. - Hey, you.

- It's um, it's Alice, right? - Oh my.

- Close, Alyssa. - Oh.

- Uh huh, well, it's actually a girls' night.

- Mm, for my birthday.

- Ooh, birthday girl! - Uh huh.

That means I get to buy you a drink.

- Yeah it does. - Let's get some shots.

- Ah, shots!

- Oh, hi.

- This is gonna sound like a line, but have we met?

- Yeah, that definitely sounds like a line.

- Especially because I was trying to think of a line

when I realized that I think I know you.

I'm Kyle. - Maggie.

- Buy you a drink, Maggie?

- How old are you?

- Isn't that considered a rude question?

- Uh, not if I'm asking because

you seem entirely too young for me.

- I'm old enough to buy you a drink.

I haven't really considered where our relationship

will go from there, but I’m happy that you're thinking

long term about this thing.

I'm 25. - Hm.

- We're drinking margaritas, right?

- Yes.

- Be right back.

So, tell me about you, mags.

Oh, please don't call me that.

I actually hate that. - Oh, strike one.

Sorry.

- It's okay.

I teach at Rose state university.

- Smart and beautiful.

What do you teach?

Art history?

Philosophy?

Home economics?

- Criminal psychology.

- Delving into the minds of criminals?

- Not exactly.

I specialize in serial killer- - serial killers.

- Yeah.

How did you know that?

- Maggie, Dr. Margaret Borgan?

- Mm hm. - I knew it!

I knew I recognized you.

Your picture's on the book jacket.

You wrote "intent to murder," a huge best seller.

- Yep, that was me.

- Told you it wasn't a line.

- Fair enough.

- Wow, what you went through.

I mean, you were the only one to escape from...

What was his name? - Cordell ray Colton.

- Well, isn't this just the cutest thing?

What's going on over here with you two?

- Well, I've been crushing on Maggie here,

but I'm not sure I'm doing so well.

- You're doing fine.

- I'll take fine.

Fine is good.

- Alyssa, this is Kyle.

- Hey, Kyle. - Hi.

- I'm gonna steal her from you for just a minute.

- Okay. - Two more margaritas.

- Mm mm, I'll take those.

- Excuse me.

- Chemistry, intense chemistry.

- I'm married. - Separated.

From a man who happens to be a deceitful,

duplicitous philanderer. - Okay.

- Look, you two wanna work it out, that's fine,

but you're allowed to explore your options.

You got a hall pass, girl.

At least for tonight and that kid is yummy.

I'm just sayin'. - He's a kid.

Yeah, but he's hot.

Mm hm.

- Yeah and he seems polite and he seems smart and-

- mm hm. - Yeah, I like the way

he looks at me, no, no.

No, no, no, I, I, I haven't,

I haven't done this in while- - girl, it's just like

riding a bike, only better.

Besides, when's the last time

Richard looked at you like that?

- Oh.

- Hm, look, I’m leaving with mustache.

- Do we even know his name?

- Yeah, of course, it's Ron, John, I don't know.

Girl, the point is Jenny's at

a friend's house for the night.

You're a free agent.

Go have fun.

After everything that you've been through this year

you deserve it.

Even if it's just for one night.

Come here.

You're gonna be okay, right?

- Yes, I'm gonna be fine. - Okay.

- All right, you have fun. - I will.

- No, you're right I know you're gonna have fun.

Sorry. - No worries.

- Thanks for waiting. - Of course.

- But I should call it a night.

- That's a terrible idea.

We're just getting to know each other.

- Yeah, it's just I need to um-

- what?

Do you know that girl? - I have to go.

Come on.

- Maggie, you left them at the table.

- Thank you. - Are you okay?

Who was that girl back there?

- She's um...

She's the girl that my husband left me for.

Yeah, she ugh.

She follows me around, you know?

She um, she sometimes calls my cell phone.

It's a little weird.

- Hey, I'm so sorry.

Do you want me to go talk to her?

- I want you to kiss me.

- How are you?

- Ah, overwhelmed.

- Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Yes.

- I like this.

You and me.

- So, what's with the hotel?

- It's temporary.

I'm trying to find a place to buy here.

Hm.

- What was he like?

- Who?

- The east bay butcher.

Cordell ray Colton. - I don't...

I don't wanna talk about that right now.

- Why not?

You wrote a book about it.

And I always felt you left stuff out of it.

- Um...

- And at one point in here you, you say he got a phone call,

but you don't say from whom.

Could you tell?

What were they talking about?

- Hey, what's all this about?

- Come on, it's interesting to me.

This psycho is about to end your life,

but somehow you find the strength to get away?

I mean, how did you do that?

He didn't make any mistakes with all the others.

- It wasn't an accident meeting you

at the bar tonight was it?

- What do you mean?

Of course it was. - Oh, you're lying.

- What, Maggie, calm down.

- Oh, I'm calm.

You're lying and I'm leaving.

- Hold on, where are you going?

- What are you, like a tabloid reporter trying

to get information to make a quick buck?

Or are you like some whacked out groupie

who's just fascinated with serial killers?

- You're talking crazy.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up.

- Yeah, he was gonna murder me.

Well, you read the book.

I would have been his 17th victim and you thought

that would make for good pillow talk?

- You didn't seem upset when you talked about it in class.

- What did you say?

- You're right, it wasn't an accident

meeting you at the bar.

- Who are you?

- I'm in your criminal psychology class.

- You're a student?

You told me you were 25.

- That's true, I traveled for a while after high school.

- I never would have been here if I knew you were a student.

- That's why I didn't mention it.

Maggie, wait.

- Get outta my way.

- Look, Maggie, I'm sorry.

I, I just wanted to get to know you without

the whole school thing in the way.

- Let me out of your place please.

Now.

- I'm really sorry.

- Morning. - Oh my gosh, you scared me.

I thought you were at Renee's?

- I was, but we got into a fight and I came home.

What about you, big night?

- No, why?

I just um, I was, I stayed at Alyssa's.

- Right.

So, I guess you doing the walk of shame means that you

and dad really aren't getting back together, huh?

- I stayed in Alyssa's guest room.

- Mom, I'm not a child.

You can tell me.

- No, I don't think your father

and I are getting back together.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello, listen, Sarah, I know this is you.

You can have my husband, okay?

Good luck with that, now just stop calling me please

or I'm calling the police.

- Oh, dammit.

Gave me a heart attack.

- What are you doing here?

- I didn't mean to wake you.

I just had to get something out of the garage.

- So you just break into my house?

- I have a key.

I live here. - Lived, past tense.

- I'm miserable without you, Maggie.

This whole thing has made me realize how much I love you.

Can we give it one more try?

- She's still following me.

Your fling.

I saw her again last night.

- You know, maybe it's just a coincidence?

- No, it's not.

And you promised me you were gonna deal with her.

- I did and I'm handling it.

As for us, I can't give up.

I'm not going to, okay?

I'm gonna show you that I can be a better man.

- Well, hello there.

- Jenny, cereal.

- You know, I could live in a freshman dorm.

Hang out with my peers, we can party at nine,

then roll outta bed and go to class

in our pajamas in the morning.

But no, I live here with my overly cheery mother,

the college professor.

It's really not the college experience I was asking for.

- Well, this overly cheery college professor

just happens to pay your tuition.

- Well, I mean, you and dad teach here,

so that's why it's free.

I'm not really sure what it is you're paying for.

- Uh, I paid for that cereal.

Do you want it or not?

It's your favorite.

Lucky me.

Oh my god, it reeks in here.

What is that smell?

- A dead animal in our car, Richard.

- What are you talking about?

Are you okay?

- Your girlfriend, you know the one who keeps calling me

then hanging up, then just showing up wherever I am?

Showing up?

Showing up where? - She put a dead possum

in my car. - What?

Maggie, she would never do anything like that.

- You know what, if she doesn't leave our family alone,

I am telling you I am going to the police.

I will talk to the university administration if I have to.

I don't care. - No!

Please do not do that.

- You know what? - All right.

I'll see you guys back at the house.

- Yeah, okay. - I'm done waiting for you

to step up and deal with her.

I'm gonna handle this myself.

What does that mean?

Maggie, Maggie, don't do any-

- Excuse me. - Professor Borgan.

What a nice surprise.

You seem upset about something.

- I want you to leave me and my family alone.

- I don't know what you're talking about.

- Stop calling me. - Wow, really?

I have much better things to do.

And anyway, when I saw you out the other night

it was obvious that you had moved on.

Back on the dating scene.

- What I do and who I see is none of your business,

but putting a dead animal in my car, that's sick.

And it's criminal.

- Dead animal?

That's ridiculous.

- I'm not playing games.

Stay the hell away from my family.

- Does the rest of your family feel the same way?

And by the way, I’m pretty sure threatening

a student is grounds for dismissal.

- It takes more than an entitled little girl to scare me.

- Richard and I are in love!

- Ted Bundy was a master manipulator.

He would often feign an injury in order

to lure his victims into a false sense of security.

But his best weapon wasn't a fake cast.

Bundy was an accomplished hunter

because of his natural gifts.

He was charming, good looking, no one feared him because why

would he need to hurt anyone in order to get what he wanted?

The answer is he didn't need to, he wanted to.

He wanted to kidnap these women.

He wanted to torture them.

He wanted to kill them.

Thank you.

All right, that's all for today.

Please finish the readings on Dahmer for Wednesday.

Thank you.

- I knew there was something you weren't telling me!

- I don't wanna talk about it ever again.

I just wanna pretend that night never happened.

- This could ruin your career.

- You told me to go with it.

- I didn't know he was a college student in your class.

I mean, that's a crucial bit of Intel.

This looks bad, Maggie.

I mean, first Richard, now you?

- I know.

I, I, I'm gonna talk to Kyle, okay?

I just, I've never done anything like this before.

- Hey, you didn't do anything wrong.

He lied to you, but you're gonna be the one

who has to prove it if he talks.

- I know.

You're right, you know what?

I'll see you later. - Okay.

- Hi, mags.

- I told you not to call me that.

- Right, sorry, I've never been too good

at following directions.

- What are you doing in my office?

- Door was open.

I figured it'd be okay.

I'm sorry.

Did I scare you?

- No, no, no, no, you didn't.

- You really are something, you know that?

- Actually, I'm glad you're here because um,

we need to talk.

- Why is this all so complicated now?

- It's not complicated.

You lied.

- You're right, I did lie.

And I'm sorry.

You didn't ask too many questions did you?

- What's that supposed to mean?

- We both got caught up in the moment.

- And the moment is over.

You need to understand that.

- You can't deny the connection we have.

It's special and it's unique.

- It's nonexistent.

- Agree to disagree I guess.

Look , what you did was wrong,

but I accept that you didn't mean to hurt me.

- Why would I hurt you, Maggie?

We're consenting adults.

- You should be seeing girls your own age, Kyle.

You know, going to parties, having fun, being a college kid.

- That's a little condescending don't you think?

- What happened between us was a mistake.

But I need your word that it stays between us.

- Oh, I see.

So that's what you're afraid of.

That I'm like Sarah Ellet?

- What?

- Oh, I mean, Sarah tells anyone who will listen about

her affair with your husband, but you knew that right?

That's why you cornered her on campus today.

Heard about that too.

Those sorority girls talk a lot.

Maggie, I would never do that to you.

- Okay, you know what?

You need to withdraw from my class today.

And our paths can never cross again.

Do you understand?

- Whoa, what did I do?

- Today.

Do you understand? - Yeah, I get it.

I don't love the tone,

but you're under a lotta pressure right now.

I know this might sound silly,

but I'm a fan of yours, Maggie.

I just wanna be your friend.

- Please leave.

Okay, so you know professor Wetterling?

- Mm hm. - Okay, so I totally

failed my last quiz, but I went to go talk to him

and he gave me a B!

- Yeah, it's 'cause Wetterling thinks you're pretty.

Hey, mom's home.

- Yay, let the fighting begin.

- Who's fighting?

Nobody's fighting.

- Can I talk to you in private?

- She is.

Sounds like it's gonna be epic.

Good luck.

Oh, mom, by the way,

you got another fan letter from your psycho.

I put it on the counter.

- He's still writing you?

- What are you doing here?

- So, I talked to Sarah about the dead opossum.

She didn't do that, Maggie.

- Wow, still defending her honor.

It's noble.

- And she also told me about your little talk.

Threatening a student?

What are you thinking?

- Someone needs to protect this family.

- I guess you do wanna fight, huh?

- She's talking to people.

- What? - Yeah.

She's telling everyone at school

about the affair that she had with you.

- No way. - Mm hm.

- A student confronted me about it.

- What student?

- I knew this was a mistake.

I shoulda taken Jenny and left the moment that I found out.

How do you think your little father-daughter time

is gonna go when she finds out

that you had an affair with a sophomore?

- Look, I know this hasn't been easy

for you not telling Jenny.

- I don't want her to hate you.

I want her to be happy.

And none of that is gonna matter

if she hears what you did on campus.

So, please, tell that little bitch to back off.

- Hey, this round's on me. - Yes, let's make a toast.

Sarah, we're taking shots.

- To kappa girls, who's better than us?

- Nobody! - Nobody!

- That's right. - Yes!

- Sarah, get your butt over here.

- Coming.

- Ladies, ladies.

Think positive, test negative.

- Cheers to the pyramid. - That's right.

- Woo, oh my. - Oh, that one hurt.

- Another one, let's go. - Woo!

- Let's go! - Talk to a guy.

- Oh my god. - And one time he goes,

"a bunch of people cut up."

- What? - Oh my gosh.

- Have fun tonight. - I hope so.

- See you tomorrow. - Bye.

This one's a fighter.

Flowing with joy.

I am relaxed.

I am calm.

I am overflowing with joy.

I am relaxed.

I am calm.

On west 81st street.

Okay, I've got a 31 clear.

13a and I know of the suspects.

- I am relaxed.

I am calm.

I am overflowing with joy.

- What?

You're overflowing with what?

- I wasn't talking to you.

They don't teach that in boy scouts.

- The handcuff knot?

No, they don't.

Officer Bueller, wrap up the scene with the coroner.

- Sure, where are you going?

- We have an ID on the victim.

I have to inform the parents,

and then I'm headed to the university.

- Oh! - What the hell?

- Are you all right?

I wasn't looking where I was going.

- I noticed.

- I'm, I'm new here and totally lost.

Do you know, is this the bard building?

- Bard's just two over there.

It's by the library.

- Probably walked right past it.

Well, thanks and sorry again.

- I can show you.

- That'd be great.

I'm Kyle. - I'm Jenny.

- Detective, I don't know what to tell you.

I've been trying to get in contact with her all day.

I've called her like 50 times and her phone's been off.

That's really weird.

- Yeah, Sarah can't live without her phone.

- Is there anyone you can think of

who might wanna hurt Sarah?

Anyone she was seeing?

An ex-boyfriend?

- There was...

- Ladies, I'm gonna tell you something

and I need you to brace yourselves.

We found Sarah's body this morning.

She was murdered.

- What? - Oh my god.

- Whatever you know you need to tell me

so we can find out who did this.

- I mean, she was seeing someone, here on campus.

- It wasn't just someone.

It's a professor who works here.

Richard Borgan.

- Maggie.

- What's going on?

- Someone murdered Sarah Ellet.

- What?

- I just, I can't believe it.

- You knew her well?

- She was, she was a student.

- I'm gonna stop you right there.

It would best if you were honest.

Take a moment, I will ask you again.

How well did you know Sarah?

- Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't...

- Detective Gerardy, this is my wife.

- We won't be long, Mrs. Borgan.

Just a few questions.

- Okay.

I will meet you at home.

- Actually, would you mind waiting outside?

I'd like to talk to you as well.

- Wait, why?

- Because I want to.

Is that all right with you, Mrs. Borgan?

- Of course.

- So, when did the affair begin?

Don't go yet.

Don't go, don't leave, don't leave.

- Rough day? - What are you doing here?

I told you to- - I know, but I just wanted

to say I'm here for you if you need to talk.

I heard what happened and I know

the police suspect your husband.

- What do you mean?

- Mags, come on.

He's the obvious suspect.

She was talking, not keeping their secret.

He kills her to keep her quiet.

- No, he would never do that.

- Would it be the worst thing if he had?

- What?

- I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that.

But I can't help how I feel.

Thanks for your help, Dr. Borgan.

- Mm hm. - I'm gonna get on

that paper right away.

- Who was that?

- I, uh, a student.

- Whenever you're ready, Mrs. Borgan.

- Yeah.

Okay, week two.

- Strangled, numerous injuries postmortem.

- Postmortem?

- Stabbed over 25 times after she died.

- Crime of passion.

- That's what the textbook says.

Your husband home Wednesday night?

- I don't know, we're separated.

- For how long?

- A few months, three, three months.

- Since you found out about his affair with the victim?

- Since he told me about her, yes.

- Does your husband have a temper?

- He didn't have anything to do with this.

- Text message from Richard borgan to Sarah Ellet,

11:03 P.M., "we need to talk now," all caps.

Response from Sarah Ellet, "want me to come over?"

A few hours later her body's found.

- You pulled his phone records?

- We do that when someone's murdered.

We pulled yours too, Mrs. Borgan.

The betrayed wife, that's pretty textbook.

- Well, it's Dr. borgan, detective,

and I helped write the textbook.

- Thank you for your cooperation Mrs., Dr. Borgan.

If you decide to tell me all the things you aren't saying,

give me a call anytime.

- Thanks.

Why are you here?

- I didn't go inside.

Maggie, I'm a suspect in a murder case.

Want a drink?

- No.

- That detective, she thinks I did it.

- Did you?

- Are you serious?

- Who stands to benefit the most from her death?

- This isn't one of your classes, Maggie.

I'm not some criminal for you to profile.

- You texted her the night she disappeared.

- Because you told me to deal with her!

- I didn't mean kill her!

- Maggie, it's me.

How could you believe that- - I couldn't believe

that you would cheat on me either.

So, if this year has taught me anything,

it's that I have no idea what you are capable of.

So why don't you just tell me the truth.

Did you do it?

Did you do it?

- I've really lost you, haven't I?

- Jenny, I- - dad, wait, dad!

- Jenny... - Dad!

Dad!

Dad, wait!

Dad!

- Jenny, stop. - What's wrong with you?

Why do you keep driving him away?

He wants to come back.

He told me that he does, you're just too bitter.

- You don't know what you're talking about.

- Okay, then tell me.

What's going on?

Why did you kick him out?

What's really happening?

- I don't wanna pull you into it.

- Okay, well this is my life

and the two of you are ruining it!

- Jenny.

Your father had an affair.

- You're lying.

He wouldn't do that. - He did.

And it went on for months.

I didn't kick him out, he left me for her.

- Why didn't you tell me?

- There's more.

It was Sarah Ellet.

- The girl that was murdered? - Yes.

- And you think that he did it?

- No, but the police do.

- I don't care about the police.

Dad would never hurt anyone, let alone kill anyone.

Hey, it's me.

Listen, something really terrible has happened

and I need to talk to you.

Just call me when you can.

I miss you.

- I'll take a beer and whatever my friend here is drinking.

- No, I’m, I'm good.

- Get him one.

You look like you could use another.

- Thanks.

- I guess you're upset about Sarah, huh?

It was a shock to everyone.

I mean who would kill such a sweet girl like her?

- Wait, I've uh, I've seen you before.

Yesterday.

Yesterday in the hall with my- - your wife.

Mags and I are really close.

I was there for her after you ran off with Sarah.

- What did you just say?

- I mean, why would you do that?

You have this amazing woman and you leave her for Sarah?

Sarah's a child.

Well, she was a child.

Who are you?

- I'm the man who's gonna take your wife from you.

- Hey, come on, get him off of him.

- You aren't a victim.

- You wanna press charges? - Yes.

- Are you sure? - Absolutely.

- Okay.

Hey, this guy's gonna press charges.

- Hands behind your back. - Wait, what? Hey!

- Hands behind your back. - Hey!

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will- - hey come on he provoked me.

Be used against you in the court of law, sir.

- Wanna tell me what happened?

- Not especially.

- Hm, you get into a bar fight?

Seriously, I think you owe me an explanation.

- That's funny, I feel the same way.

Who's Kyle McCarnick?

- He's in my class.

- He's more than that though, isn't he?

- What's that supposed to mean?

- I beat the hell out of him last night,

and he's pressing charges.

- You assaulted a student?

- Did you have sex with him?

Tell me!

- Once, it was a mistake.

- After all the grief you gave me

for sleeping with my student.

- I didn't know, okay?

He lied to me.

And we were separated!

- Oh, no you- - no, no, no,

you don't get to do this!

You don't get to demand answers from me.

You left me! - What was it, huh?

Revenge sex?

- Oh my god, I, I'm sorry.

- Yeah, no, I’m, I'm sorry.

For what I did, I don't have the right to question you.

I've ruined everything and now I've ruined my career.

- You know what, you don't know that.

- Are you kidding me?

The cops already think I had something to do with Sarah's

death and now I'm arrested for assaulting a student?

There's no coming back from that, Maggie.

I'm ruined.

- Oh, Kyle.

- Looks worse than it is.

Come in.

We need to talk.

- Ever since your husband beat me up?

You want me to drop the charges?

- Yes.

- He really doesn't deserve you.

- Did you instigate what happened?

Did you tell him about us?

- And that's what I believe they call victim blaming.

- Okay, I'm just gonna start over.

What Richard did was wrong, okay?

I just think that he's in shock over-

- his girlfriend's murder?

Why would you even defend him after what happened to Sarah?

You know everyone thinks- - no, no.

He didn't have anything to do with that.

- If you say so.

So, drop the charges?

- Yes.

Look, if you don't he's gonna lose his job.

- I would assume.

- Come on, Kyle, please don't do this.

- What do I get?

- I'm sorry?

- I'm giving you something you want.

What do I get in return?

- What do you want?

- I want you to tell me about the butcher.

What?

- And I wanna know everything.

Things you didn't put in the book.

I know it, there has to be more.

Tell me about your escape.

Tell me how you got away from Cordell ray Colton.

- What, what are you...

This again?

- Yes, this again!

How did you get away?

How did you beat him? - Okay, just calm down please.

- I'm sick of this.

You use me, ignore me,

then show up at my door when you need something.

That doesn't feel very good, Maggie.

It certainly doesn't feel fair.

- Look, you're in my class, you've heard my lectures,

you've read the book, you know the story.

- I want to know how it felt.

Did he cry out when you struck him with the hammer?

Did he bleed?

Did he lose consciousness? - What?

- One of the most prolific serial killers

in American history and you are

the only woman who ever escaped.

Why do you think that is?

Tell me and I'll drop the charges against your husband.

- He made a mistake.

He got distracted.

I saw my chance, I took it.

It's that simple.

- Because you knew he was going to kill you?

- Everybody had heard about those girls.

So, yes, I knew if I didn't fight, if I didn't run,

that I would end up just like them.

- Pretty brave.

I think it's why I'm so drawn to you.

No, just stop, please just drop.

Drop the charges.

- One more thing. - I just did what you asked.

It's a small thing.

A kiss.

One last kiss. - That is not gonna happen.

- What could it hurt?

We've done way more than that.

You walk away now and tomorrow I file a lawsuit against

the university for Richard's right hook.

And unfortunately for you,

our night together will probably come up.

- Are you blackmailing me?

- Call it what you want.

I think I deserve something for

the mistreatment I've endured.

One kiss.

No!

Not like that!

Like you mean it.

- No.

- Fine, forget it.

Wait.

What the hell?

- A little memento.

- I cannot believe I thought you were a good person.

- I can be very charming.

- Just do what you promised and drop the charges.

- Thanks for stopping by, mags.

911, what's your emergency?

- Yes, I'm calling about the Sarah Ellet killing.

I know who did it.

Professor borgan, may I have a word?

- Oh, come on.

Look, I'm late for class and this is harassment, detective.

- This is a search warrant, professor.

Would you open your car?

- What's going on? - I have no idea.

- Officer, take professor borgan into custody.

- Ma'am, back up, please. - What?

- Back up, please. - Wait, wait, why, why?

- Please, back up, ma'am. - Professor borgan,

you're under arrest for the murder of Sarah Ellet.

- No, no, Maggie! - Hands behind your back.

Hands behind your back. - Maggie, I did not do this.

- All right, all right. - Stop resisting.

You need to calm down, sir.

- Get off! - This is how people get hurt.

- Maggie, it's not true!

I don't know how that got there, you hear me?

Get off!

- Richard did not kill Sarah Ellet.

- I wish I could agree with you.

- I have a doctorate in forensic psychology.

Could we at least discuss the case on its merits?

As professionals.

- Well, technically, I'm a professional

and you're an academic, but sure let's look at my case.

I just pulled what appears to be the murder weapon,

matching tape and matching rope

from the trunk of my prime suspect's car.

That's what we call hard evidence.

Then there's the way we found our victim.

Similar to a case your husband knows quite well.

- What do you mean?

- The victim was hogtied, wrist to ankles.

- A handcuff knot?

- That's right.

Just like the east bay butcher.

- Why did you search my husband's car today?

- Anonymous tip.

- Okay, there's a student, Kyle McCarnick.

I think he's involved.

- The young man your husband assaulted at a bar?

That's convenient.

- Well, you know what else is convenient?

An anonymous witness who saw the killer toss

the murder weapon into his trunk.

And some additional inconvenient facts.

Kyle is stalking me.

And he's obsessed with the serial killer Cordell ray Colton.

So, maybe he's a more likely murder suspect than

a middle-aged English professor with no history of violence.

But I'm just an academic, what do I know?

Oh and you know what?

My husband, he couldn't tie a handcuff knot

if his life depended on it.

Ask anyone.

The judge is gonna set bail next week,

and we'll get him out then.

- How are you so calm right now?

- Hey, I know you're upset- - upset?

Dad's in jail for murder.

I'm a lot more than upset and you don't even care!

- Jenny!

- Congratulations, mom.

You got what you wanted.

Dad's gone and he's probably never coming back.

- This isn't what I want.

I'm just trying to deal with the situation.

- The survivor?

Control freak until the end.

- Hey, where are you going?

- Away from you!

I have an infinite capacity

to receive and respect.

I have an infinite capacity to receive and respect.

I have...

- Kyle McCarnick?

- That's me.

- My name's Gerardy, detective Gerardy.

May I come in? - Sure.

What can I do for you, detective?

I saw you the other day talking

with Margaret borgan.

I have a class with Dr. Borgan.

- Looked like a tense discussion.

- I was trying to negotiate myself

into a higher grade on a paper.

- How'd that work out for ya?

- Not sure yet.

She's a hard woman to nail down.

- Pretty fancy place for a college student.

- Well, it's good to have a family with means.

- I'm investigating the murder of Sarah Ellet.

Know her?

- No, but I saw it on the news.

Just terrible.

- Where were you Wednesday night?

- I thought you had arrested someone?

- Indeed we did, Kyle.

Our murder suspect is the man who assaulted you

the other night.

But I'm sure you know that.

You watch the news.

- Seems like you got a dangerous man off the streets.

- Thanks to an anonymous tip.

Mind if I use your restroom, Kyle?

- Sure, right over there.

My god.

- The more you struggle, the tighter the rope pulls.

That's the genius of the design.

You can't get out.

- Please don't do this.

But I want to.

An arrest has been made tonight

in connection with the death of

Rose state university student, Sarah Ellet.

News seven has learned that Richard borgan,

a tenured professor at Rose state has been taken

into police custody on suspicion of murder.

It's alleged that borgan

Was engaged in an extramarital affair with Ellet

prior to her tragic death.

- I'm not finding him locally.

- Try Boston.

He said he was from Boston.

- Mom, where are you?

I think someone's.

- Okay, I've got something here.

This victim was tied with rope, strangled,

stabbed repeatedly postmortem.

An apparent copycat of the east bay butcher.

- I didn't mean to scare you.

- My dad's in jail.

Why haven't you returned any of my phone calls?

- I'm sorry, but I came as soon as I heard.

It's gonna be okay.

Trust me.

- Okay, I've got some workplaces on him.

- This victim was female, a Sherry roundtree.

A wealthy and prominent club owner in the Boston area,

and this murder happened just over a year ago.

- How about club nine?

Was that hers?

He managed it around that time.

- Um, there's a few clubs here.

After hours, black cat, club nine.

Kyle knew her from club nine.

- What are you doing?

- Well, this is proof.

This is the same mo as Sarah Ellet.

I'm calling the detective.

Wait, hold on.

Mom, where are you?

- I think someone's. - Oh my god.

What?

- Jenny!

- I'm up here. - Oh god.

Oh my god, come here.

I got your message and- - sorry, I got spooked.

- My fault I'm afraid.

What the?

I accidentally gave her a fright.

- This is my friend Kyle from school.

Yeah, I’m in your mom's class.

It's nice to see you, Dr. Borgan.

- Get out.

- Mom!

- Get outta my house.

Now!

- Kyle, wait.

Don't go.

Wait, wait, Kyle, wait, hold on.

- Jenny, get back inside.

- What is wrong with you?

- Jenny, it's okay.

I'll call you later. - Okay.

- What do you think you're doing?

- You told me I should see someone closer to my own age.

- You stay the hell away from my daughter.

- But she's so pretty, mags.

She looks like you.

Tastes like you.

- You leave us alone! - No!

- I saw you when my husband was getting arrested.

- So?

- You wanted me to see you.

You wanted credit for what you had done, right?

- Is that right? - Yeah, I know who you are now

and I'm gonna go to the police

and I'm gonna tell them everything.

- But you already did talk to the police didn't you?

A very nice detective came to see me.

You sent her to me.

So that makes whatever happened to her your fault.

- What did you do?

- What you made me do.

Same thing that's gonna happen to anyone you tell about me.

Why do you think I’m here tonight, mags?

Why would I wait with your daughter for you to come home?

- To show me that you could.

- Wow, your insight into serial killers is truly amazing.

- Serial killer?

- As in more than three.

I qualify now.

Thanks to that woman detective.

She put me over the top.

- You're just so proud of yourself aren't you?

- I want you to think about that

in the precarious position you're in.

I can touch every part of your life;

I can send your husband to prison,

I can seduce your daughter, I can possess you totally.

- What is it that you want?

- Just to show that I'm as good as the east bay butcher.

Better! - Ah.

So this is all about Colton?

- It's about me!

You'll do what I tell you to do because you know

there is nothing you care about that I cannot destroy.

I own you in a way he never could.

Which means I win. - What?

What do you win?

- Don't forget, Maggie, you talk about me to the cops again

or to your husband or even pretty little Jenny-

- oh. - I'm gonna have to hurt them too.

- No, you stay away from her.

- You're really not in a position to be making demands.

Just follow the rules and everyone will be okay.

- This isn't a game, Kyle!

- Are you sure?

It feels like one to me.

- I cannot believe you just embarrassed me like that.

- You can never see him again.

- Why?

What were you and Kyle talking about?

- Look, I'm not getting into this with you,

just know that what I'm working on

is going to help your father.

- Oh, big secrets with the renowned

criminal psychologist, huh?

Just tell me.

What were you and Kyle talking about?

- No, honey I need you to...

You gotta trust me, okay?

Please. - Trust you?

Yeah, you can forget that.

I'm old enough to make my own decisions,

and you cannot tell me what to do.

- Come on, Jenny.

You don't understand.

- No, I agreed to go to school here.

I agreed to live here even though you drove dad away.

You can't control me.

Stay outta my life.

I'll give you 10 minutes.

Just stay clear of the bars.

- Well, well, I thought I'd never see you again.

I liked your book.

Though I came off as a bit two dimensional.

- I received your letter.

- I've sent you many, but you don't ever read them do you?

I've always admired your self control.

- Where'd you get that photo?

- He sent it to me, of course.

- Oh, so this is all you, huh?

You got one of your whacked out followers to ruin my life?

- No, Margaret, I don't want to hurt you anymore.

When you ran away from me that night,

I had no idea the fame you would bring me.

Your book, it's the only reason

the world appreciates my work.

I'm an artist.

And you've provided me with

what I've always wanted, an audience.

I don't want you dead.

- So why is he doing this?

- A son often struggles with his father's legacy.

- What?

- My wife changed their names, moved across the country,

for obvious reasons.

Being my son comes with social consequences.

- Kyle is your son?

- I suppose in some deranged way he wants to win my favor.

But I'm not interested in a younger, weaker,

less interesting person copying my art.

Homage or not, he's just a run of the mill copycat killer.

- What does he want from me?

- He wants to hurt you to hurt me.

- What the hell does that mean?

- Oh, you'll figure that out.

You are the criminal psychologist after all.

You know, I've grown quite fond of you, Margaret.

- I'm getting the police.

You're gonna tell 'em everything.

- Let's be clear.

I don't want you to die,

but I advise against calling the police.

That would be cheating.

And I will be of no help to you in that.

I want you to defeat him, as you did me.

Fair and square.

- If his plan is to kill me, then what is he waiting for?

- He wants to break you first.

By taking everything away from you.

First your husband and...

- Jenny? - I would hurry if I were you.

Ah, good luck, Maggie.

- Jenny!

Jenny!

Jenny.

Oh god.

- Wait, wait. - Sure, I'm sorry.

I'm moving too fast.

- You know that I want to.

I'm just going crazy with everything

that's going on right now.

- You're not crazy.

Your whole world is upside down.

Yeah, like it's your fault.

So, what did you and my mom talk about?

- She was upset because I'm a student in her class

and I'm older than you.

And I was just reassuring her.

You know how parents can be.

- Are you close with your parents?

- Dad's been gone since I was a kid.

And he was my hero, but he never had time for me.

- What about your mom?

- With dad gone, she just couldn't handle

being alone I guess.

She um, killed herself.

- Oh my god, Kyle, I'm so sorry.

How old were you? - 12.

After that there was just foster home after foster home.

They kept getting rid of me.

Apparently I was a bad kid.

- I can't believe that's true.

- No one would believe it.

Wonder who that could be.

- Should I? - No.

This won't take a second.

Mags.

What a pleasant surprise.

- Where is she?

Jenny.

- Mom, what are you doing here?

Leave me alone.

- It's okay, Jenny.

Just give me a sec.

I'll handle this.

Unfortunately, it seems your daughter doesn't wanna see you.

- You win. - What's that?

- Tomorrow night, my place.

You and me.

I'll answer every question you have

about the east bay butcher.

- If everything is in your book like you said,

why should I bother?

- Because it isn't.

I left one part out, out of my book,

and out of my lectures.

- You're lying.

- And you're gonna find it very enlightening, Kyle.

Surprising in fact.

- I still don't believe you.

- Well, I'm telling you the truth

because I know the danger I'm in.

I know the danger my daughter is in,

and I want it to stop.

I want you away from her now.

- And if I do, then tomorrow night-

- whatever you want.

9:00 P.M., I'll be alone.

- If you run.

- You'll know where to find us.

- Jenny. - What?

What are you doing?

Let go, Kyle!

- I'm not interested in you anymore.

Leave me alone.

- Honey. - Just take me home.

- Wait, wait, I need to talk to you please.

I don't wanna talk to you.

- It's important.

There are things that you need to know.

- I need to know what you did to make him act like that.

- I didn't do anything, that's who he is.

He's been lying to you.

- You don't even know him.

- I do know him.

That's how I knew how to find you.

- What does that mean, mom?

How did you know where he lived?

- Because I've been there before.

- Oh my god.

- I made a mistake.

I didn't know he was a student.

He targeted me, he manipulated me.

Just like he's manipulating you.

- You slept with him?

You slept with Kyle?

Answer me!

- I did, yeah.

- What is wrong with you?

- I wanna tell you everything, honey.

I'm just, I'm trying to protect you.

- Yeah, 'cause you and dad are just doing

a great job of protecting me, right?

Kyle killed Sarah Ellet.

- What?

- That's what I've been working on.

And I'm gonna prove it.

- I can't...

I don't even know what to believe anymore.

- Hey, thank you for doing this.

- Did I have a choice?

- I just, I understand and respect

that you're old enough to do whatever you want.

- Hey, Jenny.

- I appreciate you.

- I do not need a babysitter.

- No, it's just for tonight, okay?

I'll tell you everything tomorrow.

- Whatever.

- Hey, I love you so much.

- Where are you going?

- Um, I'm gonna tell you everything tomorrow.

- You be careful.

- Yep.

Okay.

- Wait, mom.

I love you too.

- See you soon.

- Come on.

- You coulda rang the doorbell.

- But what kind of entrance is that?

- You have a flair for the dramatic.

- More like an instinct for self-preservation.

You look amazing.

All dolled up for me?

- Well, I did tell you you could have whatever you want.

- You think I want you for sex?

That I'm some lovesick stalker or something?

Is that what you think?

I want you for your mind.

Not your body.

- You're hurting me, Kyle.

- Like he did?

Like he hurt you?

- No, you're different than your father.

- Mags, you're full of surprises.

- Hm, I went to the prison.

And I saw him.

- What did he say?

- He said you were gonna kill me

if I didn't give you what you wanted.

- He's right.

- So, what do you wanna know?

The detail I left out of my book,

but I didn't want anyone to know.

- Tell me.

Was you.

You're the reason I escaped.

- What?

I'm working!

This is my private time.

Is it so difficult for you to give me a moment of peace?

Well, what's wrong with him?

Babies cry.

If you're that worried about it call a doctor,

but don't bother me again tonight.

I'm working on a special project.

- You were the distraction.

You were a sick baby, your mother was worried,

but your father didn't care.

- Help!

Help me!

- Cordell?

What did you do?

What did you do to him?

- Help!

- You saw me when I was a baby?

Why didn't you tell anyone?

- Because you two were innocent.

No one needed to know that you existed.

- I wasn't innocent for long.

After you escaped from that shed,

the truth came out about my father.

My mother took me away, lied to everyone about who we were.

About who I was.

Until she realized what I was.

- And what were you?

- How do most serial killers get their

first taste for killing, mags?

Don't you know?

- Killing animals.

- Mom loved our dog.

Don't know if she was more upset about the dead animal

or that her son was a killer.

The next day, she told me who my father was,

and not to be like him.

I think she was just trying to scare me straight.

She went in her room and hung herself.

I was 12.

I've gone to the prison, written letters,

he's never accepted me.

I didn't know until just now why he's always hated me.

- And why is that?

- Because of me, you escaped and he was caught.

A crying baby that he would never forgive.

Thank you, Maggie.

Thank you for telling me that.

- Can you answer something for me?

How did you get that detective to believe

that Richard killed Sarah?

What are you doing?

- This is it.

- You think I can't outsmart some local cops

and your idiot husband?

- Richard is not an idiot.

- What is this?

Why is she here with him? - Jenny, I love you,

but shut up and listen.

- Yet he's in jail right now because of you.

- I saw your argument.

I followed him to the bar.

He was weak.

- So you picked a fight with him?

- By the time the cops took him in, the bar was empty.

I popped his trunk, left the knife,

called it in the next day.

- She's getting a confession.

- Now you believe he killed Sarah Ellet?

- She didn't give me a choice.

Luckily she didn't tell anyone where she was going.

But she's a cop, they won't give up.

So, unfortunately, I have to be leaving soon.

- That's it, that's the signal!

- I need a drink.

You want one?

- I don't think I want you too far away from me.

- Oh, I thought you were just interested in my mind?

- Maggie, you are fearless.

Like you've got ice water running through your veins.

It's time for me to go, which means it's time for you to go.

- Wait, wait.

- He's looking right into the camera.

Get the police there now!

- I'm still on hold, Jenny.

- Funny, you don't strike me

as a Teddy bear kinda girl, mags.

- That's because you don't know me.

I'm a softie at heart.

- I get why my father respects you.

- That's funny.

Because he certainly doesn't respect you.

- What did you say?

That's why you're here, isn't it?

That's why you targeted me, seduced me,

seduced my daughter, got my husband thrown in jail,

because you're trying to gain your father's respect

by finishing what he couldn't.

Well, it's not gonna work.

Still trying to impress daddy?

It's pathetic.

You're an embarrassment to him.

Tarnishing his accomplishments.

A shameless copycat.

He's never gonna love you.

Shut up!

- It's over.

The cops are on the way and you're going

to go to jail just like your dad.

- You got in my head a little there.

- Don't come any closer.

I'll do it.

- You did your whole criminal psychology thing.

Okay, I'm impressed.

- I mean it.

- You're gonna stab me?

- Don't.

- I saved you!

If it hadn't been for me you would've been victim 17.

Now look at me.

You made me the killer I am.

Oh my god.

- You did it.

I didn't think you had it in you.

Oh my god.

Dammit!

Maggie!

Back to school, mags?

How nice.

- Jenny, wait!

- Hold it. - My mother's in there.

- No, she's not. - What do you mean?

Is Maggie okay?

- There's signs of a struggle in the house,

but the house is empty.

- Oh my god.

Do you think he took her?

- We don't know yet.

Come on, we need to find her.

- I know what you think.

You think that I'm like him.

You beat good ole dad, then you can certainly beat me.

I'm not my father, Maggie.

He thinks he's better than me, but he's wrong.

I'm smarter.

I'm stronger.

You can't hide from me!

There's that killer instinct.

- Did you hear that?

- That's coming from the university?

- It's mom.

It's her, I know that it is.

Help!

It's over, mads.

- I told you not to call me that.

- Mom!

Oh my god! - Maggie!

Oh my god.

- It's okay, sweetie.

It's okay, guys.

Thank you so much, Jenny.

It's okay. - I'm so glad.

Oh, Jenny, I'm so sorry.

It's okay.
