shooting of an unarmed black man.

There were few people on the

streets as the arch diocese

Cancelled classes in two

inner-City roman catholic

Schools. Police urged curiosity seekers

to stay out of the...

And me and mine

have cleared a straight path

For you.

Aim here.

For the center.

Oh, no.

No.

Oh come on.

Oh, ugh, oh, poop!

Oh!

Yes, he goes, but he

never really leaves.

Let's see here...

Ow!

Ugh.

These are mine!

I was looking for these.

Male expiration.

Sh*t.

Sh*t!

That makes an even dozen.

She was tortured.

Oh my god.

Oh...

F***, f*** f***!

Um...

Hi, this is Darcy.And this is bob.

We're not able to come to the phone right now,

but leave a message if you want to.

And if it's about collectible coins,

Make sure you leave a message.

Remember, change

comes from within!

If that's you handsome, uh,

get your tight little buns

Over here.

My, my husband's out of town.

Ahh, very funny.

I tried you before.

Uh, I-I-I was on

the phone with pets.

You know, she got home fine,

and, and uh,

And Donnie did too.

It's just, and she's...

Just going crazy over those,

uh, bridesmaid's dresses.

You okay?

Um, well, to quote the

famous Robert Anderson I'm...

Upright and sniffing the air.

How did it go today?

Ah, well I picked up 17 lady

liberties at a good...

Uh... no, at a great price.

As for that idiot's taxes,

the less said the better.

Oh dear.

Your voice sounds thick.

You haven't been

crying have you?

Well I just, you know...

After I talked with

pets, I just...

I started thinking

about my, my sister.

You know, she was

a year younger...

Than pets when she died.

Um...

Well honey, if I jump in the

car and turn around, I can be

Home in no time.

No no, no, no.

Don't do that.

I, after the day you've

put in, it's just a...

I'd be worried you'd fall

asleep behind the wheel.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

In fact, um, did I, um, since

you're in Vermont anyway, did

I, did I mention that, uh,

estate sale in rutland?

Yeah, yeah yeah.

I checked it online back at the motel.

Lot 75 steel pennies.

I mean... Look, if you're okay and

I can square it with Gaines,

do you mind if I stay another day?

More time for me

and the pool boy.

Well, lock up tight.

Always.

I know you loved your sister, honey.

Yes.

Yes I did.

And I love you.

I love you.

Beadie...

Incredible as

it may seem, beadie has been

Living on this suburban

cleaves mills street since the

Late 1980s, with his wife of

25 years and two children, who

Are just now finding out that

they have grown up under the

Shadow of new England's

most notorious killer.

Or so they claim.

Many are asking how much

Darcelene Anderson knew about

Her husband's other

life as beadie.

She knew nothing!

Ask yourself if you really

need one of these tonight.

Yeah, well, I think tonight

I do.

You just had had to

f***ing look, didn't you?

Any more coffee darling?

Yeah, sure.

Just a half a cup.

You know what, forget

about that coffee.

It'll just keep me up anyway.

Just the check please.

Coming up.

A slut reading a slutty novel.

Hm.

No...

Hi.

- You've been cheating

at the candy again. - Oh my...

Jesus, you scared

the life out of me.

As Moses said to the children

of Israel, "what goeth in the

Mouth today, is showeth

in the butt tomorrow."

Bob...

What are you doing here?

You're supposed

to be in Vermont.

We need to talk.

What?

You come sneaking in here at

3:
30 in the morning because we

Need to talk?

I lay for a while

in that stupid motel.

After we talked.

And then I went out for

something to eat, all the

While trying to convince

myself that what I was

Thinking wasn't true.

But I didn't get to where I

got by dodging the truth, so,

I jumped in the blazer

and I hit the road.

Really?

Gosh, I don't know what

you're talking about.

I... I really, I just

don't have a clue.

It's um, and as for the candy,

you know people in glass

Houses shouldn't throw stones.

Well there you go with your

passive aggressive stuff again.

You never change.

I can read you

like a book, honey.

You're upset.

And it's my fault.

And I'm sorry from the

bottom of my heart.

You found my secret hiding

place in the garage.

I really haven't

Absolutely no idea.

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

- You did a great job putting everything

back where it belonged, except the

box was a little to the left of where I

Usually put it.

And I love that box, because,

you know, Petra, Petra gave it to me.

And there was a

rubber band missing.

Beadie always uses

two rubber bands.

Belt and suspender rule.

But, I found it.

Uh...

Under your car.

Which, by the way, needs an

oil change,

Which you always forget.

Sometimes you can be so smart

about about some things.

And so dumb about others.

Like clearing the

search history.

You always forget to do it.

What?

The search history.

It's the first thing I

checked when I came in.

And...

Okay, I admit it.

I had a pudding cup.

So I guess I am a person

that lives in a glass house.

Really, you checked

my computer?

You dirty sneak!

Oh...

Darc, I've been

doing it for years.

I have a very bad friend that

does very bad things, and when

You're a man in

that position...

You have to stay current

on those closest to you.

And since the kids left

home, that would be you.

And you haven't just been

checking on Marjorie duvall.

You've been checking

on all of them.

Whoops!

Who's... bad friend?

What... what bad friend?

The kid I chummed around

in junior high with.

I told you about him

after we were married.

Yeah, but he's d...

Dead, yeah.

Got hit by a truck chasing

a baseball onto the street.

Poor old Brian.

You're not making sense, bob.

Ahh.

I guess you'd

have to be there.

There were these girls that

snooted us in the 8th grade.

Diane Ramage.

Laurie Svensen.

And a couple of others.

Anyway, Brian came up with

this idea that we would catch

One of them alone.

Well, maybe two.

One for each of us.

We were going to say to them

That if they f***ed us real good

Like they f***ed their

boyfriends on Saturday night,

We'd let them live.

And this was um...

This was all your

friend Brian's idea?

Well...

Look, those girls were snoots.

Like, like, like

Betty next door.

Did you see the way that she

was running her tits all over

Me at the party?

Well, yeah, she was drunk.

Yeah.

But Darcy, you have

to realize that...

I didn't kill those women.

Not really.

It was another person

inside my head.

I fought it for

years, the voice.

And then I just...

I just thought,

I'll do it, once.

Get it out of my head.

If I get caught, I get caught.

At least, at least it won't

be in my head anymore.

Won't have to think about it,

wonder what it would be like.

All these years, you've

been fighting him.

Is that right?

The beadie inside you?

Yeah, yeah. I have,

And I could fight him

forever if, if I thought that

There was a future for us.
