Camera Obscura Page #4

I'm just picking up some stuff.

Okay. All right.

Well, my name's tad, if you need anything.

I'm actually the owner.

I'm pretty proud of that.

Okay.

Uh, this isn't corporate.

Okay. Well, get to it.

Okay.

Okay. Have a great

shopping experience.

That, my friend, is one

fine-quality hammer.

It's Polynesian wood.

7.2 ounce head.

It's fantastic. The problem

is, your swing is terrible.

It's worse than my two-year-old

nephew's, and he's got Parkinson's.

Look, do you mind if I just

show you proper technique?

Yeah. Okay. See, you want to

keep your wrist straight.

If you're not strong enough

with these tiny wrists,

to keep your wrists straight,

you can duct tape 'em.

That'll really help. Okay? You want

to come with a nice, powerful swing.

All right? Is there anything else I can

help you with before you check out?

I think that should do it. Okay.

'Cause I was just thinking.

Why are you touching me? Maybe

you could use a nice tool belt

to cover up those dainty hips.

Can we check out now? Yeah. Yeah.

I'll meet you over there.

All right.

That'll be 42.97.

Authorities believe they

have found the remains

of notorious serial killer

Charlie Hibbert.

A body was discovered late

last night in a storm shelter

on the same grounds of the cabin

where his family was slain.

An autopsy is under way to determine

if their suspicions are correct.

- Hey. Hey.

- Earth to my customer.

There he is.

Earth calling.

- I actually need one more thing.

- Sure.

Do you have that stuff where you,

like, if you put it on a rag

and you smell it,

I-i-it knocks you out?

You wanna knock somebody out?

You got, like, an ex-wife

you don't like or...

Um, this isn't

what it looks like.

Right. Looks like a Charlie

Hibbert starter kit.

Thirteen years on the FBI's most-wanted

list, but the case went cold.

Actually, man, I'm gonna need

to know what you're doing here.

Authorities hope this new evidence

will finally bring closure

to the families of the victims.

Action 6 news will continue

coverage as the story...

Where the f*** did he go?

Goddamn it!

Tanaka.

Oh.

It's my psychiatrist.

Oh, you've gotta

be f***ing kidding me.

Sorry again

about the mix-up today.

I'm really excited to show

this property to you now.

I think we have found

the new Hendersons family home.

Wait until you see

the foyer. It pops.

You okay?

No. I'm not okay.

Are you okay?

Uh... yeah, sorry. I...

I think I had another blackout.

I must have fallen down

the stairs or something.

Is it getting that bad again?

It's okay.

Is it?

Yeah.

Looks like your bad day

is turning into a bad week.

You fall through the

passenger window this time?

It's just an accident.

Oh.

You accident-prone?

I'm accident-prone,

so I'm just...

She's been through a lot.

Can we go home now?

Claire?

How are you?

Listen, I know this is

probably an inopportune time,

but we're gonna need

to get your statement.

Do you want me to go with you?

No, stay here.

I've got this.

Okay.

Baby, you... you okay?

Huh?

Leave me alone.

I don't want to leave you alone.

I want to make sure that you're okay.

Are you okay?

Well, good luck with that.

What?

'Cause I'm not sure

if I will be okay.

Do you want to talk about it?

No.

I think we should talk about it.

You wanna talk about it?

Okay. Who are you?

What?

'Cause I don't...

Whoever this is,

this is not my Jack.

I don't know what's going on.

I know you've been

struggling with things,

but at least you never

used to lie to me.

I'm not lying to you. I just don't

know what the truth is anymore.

Well, me neither.

I talked to Ben.

I know you never

dropped off the photos.

The photos. I've been wanting to talk

to you about the photos. Okay. Tell me.

There's something wrong

with the photos.

There was something in the

photos that I can't explain.

And you couldn't pick up the

phone to tell him that?

I'm sorry.

I got you this job.

I know.

By the way, it's the only job

you've had in over a year.

I know that. I'm sorry. I have

another interview tomorrow.

What difference does it make?

You're just gonna f*** it up too.

Now leave me alone.

I know now it's not

a coincidence I was picked.

I was flawed,

desperate and depressed.

Clearly, the victim.

It could see that.

But in the end,

I did what I had to do,

what I felt I needed to do.

But I was never in control.

That's what it wanted all along.

It knew the entire f***ing time.

Every moment I thought

it could never get worse.

I just... look, I was wrong.

God bless America.

Hey, handsome.

Can I help you out?

Um, I'm not sure

exactly how this works.

Honey, if you're not sure how this

works, you might be in the wrong place.

Um, w-well,

how much for...

Uh... you're not... you're

not Cassandra, are you?

Cassie ain't here, sweetie.

Nice window.

We on?

Uh...

Jesus Christ.

Not so loud.

Is somebody here?

Hello?

F***.

Uh, Shannon? Is that you?

It's me. It's Jack.

Jack, what are you doing here?

Um, I'm just fixing something.

Claire said that there was

a... a plumbing situation.

What? Why are you

the one doing this?

Listen, just finish up. I'm showing

the place here in a few minutes.

Okay.

- Sh*t!

- Jack, what the hell?

This is really weird.

- Jack!

It's not what it looks like.

Oh, f***!

Listen to me.

You know me.

No.

You know that I

would never hurt you.

Let me out! Listen to me.

Listen, listen.

Listen, listen, listen, okay?

I'm trying to protect Claire.

No.

Okay? I can explain this.

Listen to me.

I can explain.

No.

Claire is in danger. I'm

trying to protect her. Okay.

Let me go. Get off of me. I

can't let you leave here.

I can't let you leave. Please,

don't make me do this.

Okay? Sorry.

No!

I'm sorry.

You okay, baby?

You look a little sick.

No. I'm fine.

You shouldn't

have done all this.

Well, I wanted to.

Besides,

I don't really feel like a

great girlfriend right now.

I said some things last

night that I regret.

Fiance.

That's right.

Would you like some more wine?

Please.

Getting full service here.

Mm-hmm.

You've got a little steak

sauce on your finger.

Oh, that's not...

Uh...

F***.

- Do you want to jump into the tub with me?

- Uh...

You look beautiful, but I think

I'm just gonna rest here.

Just one more.

Oh, my hand!

Jack! Jack!

Jesus! Here.

What the f***?

Hey. Can I take

a bath now?

What?

What's going on?

Your hand.

What about it? Jack.

Jack, what's going on?

You were screaming. I thought

I heard you screaming.

No. No, I wasn't screaming.

You weren't screaming?

Are you all right?

I'm sorry. I'm just, uh...

Hey.

Just tired.

No. No. No.

It's enough! Enough of

just writing this off.

I don't know what else to do anymore.

You have to trust me.

It's hard to...

Hard to explain.

Oh, my god.

This is it.

I'm sorry.

I can't do...

I'm so sorry for everything

that I've put you through.

I'll tell you everything.

I was always gonna be here.
