toying with his prey.

He derives excitement

from the fear he instills.

He stalks, paralyzes,

captures, and detains his prey.

It's his MO, it's

how he got his name.

So, this guy.

I don't know.

There's something...

This isn't exactly the

Deathstalker's method,

but sometimes they change 'em.

And you're leaving out the

final step of his process.

What step?

Oh, you with the questions.

What do you think?

He kills his victims.

He didn't just bring us

here to mess with us.

Well, I don't know this guy.

I wasn't involved.

None of us are involved.

I don't know him either,

but you heard the cop.

It's a game to him.

I was just out for a jog.

Arguing isn't going

to help us, ladies.

Okay.

So, where is this other guy?

The one with all these masks.

[Clown Mask] Yeah,

there's another guy

near the box I was in.

He sounded pretty muffled,

but it sounded like

he was struggling.

So, I don't know, maybe?

[Face Mask] Maybe.

I mean, there's gotta be

a reason we're all here.

(chain rattling)

(tense music)

(camera shutter clicks)

(metal scraping)

Told her I didn't

drink 'em all.

Looks like you could

use on, brother.

All right, what's up?

I'm in trouble, man, and I

didn't know who else to go to.

I got a voicemail at

work this afternoon.

No number, just this message.

I have your fiancee.

Fail to follow my

instructions and she dies.

Go to your car.

You will find an envelope

containing your instructions

taped underneath, but

remember these rules.

No police.

If you attempt to

contact authorities,

your fiancee will die.

If you have not

accomplished your task

when the time runs

out, she dies.

The clock is ticking

and I will be watching.

He's got Olivia, man.

I believe him, man.

He'll kill her.

I don't know what's going on.

Slow down.

Back up.

Take it from the beginning.

Olivia's missing and then

you get the voicemail.

I drive up to

where she always runs

and I don't see her car there.

So, I've just been waiting.

I'm going out of my mind.

And when he said no police,

I didn't want to

take the chance.

But, he's got her, and

he knows where I work,

and he knows my car.

Where are the instructions?

I remember the

name from that case

you worked a while back.

It rang a bell

with me, you know?

Jack Samms.

"Jack Samms out of prison

in exchange for Olivia.

"You will be contacted

with a meeting point.

"Enjoy the pictures".

He wants me to get

Jack Samms out of prison.

Why would he take Olivia

and ask me to do that?

How can I pull that off?

Where are these pictures?

(tense music)

It's like looking

in a mirror, huh?

Gary Kirby and his brother.

What'd you make on

that deal, 200 Gs?

How's that going?

Holly Debriggs.

A million, right?

(laughs) Don't cry.

I guess that's the going

rate to get a mother

to turn on her own son.

This job disgusts me.

The Ulysses Corporation.

That was a genius one.

You got away with

a load of cash,

yet their CEO ends up doing

time for what you did.

I love this mask.

This is my favorite one.

The Oxley kid.

Only you are heartless

enough to take

an 18-year-old for his

entire inheritance.

Mm-mm-mm.

Of course, there was the

evening with Jack Samms.

That one came back to bite you

in the ass a little, though.

Didn't it?

But yet, here you sit

and Jack Samms sits

in a cell doing time.

Of course, there is

my least favorite job

of all that you pulled.

The skull face that

showed up on my doorstep

a few months ago.

And that is what

we're here to discuss.

Listen, come on, man.

You gotta believe me.

It was all a big mistake.

I can get your money back.

Hell, I'll even double it.

Hey, wait, wait.

Stop.

Let me make a phone call.

I can get your money

back with interest.

I'll do...

Stop.

Stop.

[Face Mask] Trick,

he's gonna kill you

if you don't shut the hell up.

Epperson, is that you?

Oh, thank God you're alive.

Listen, you've

gotta believe me...

Trick?

That's not what you

called yourself, dude.

That's not how you

introduced yourself to me.

For once, do what someone

tells you and shut up.

Okay, okay.

Listen, I just wanna

talk things through.

No, no, no.

Wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait, wait.

Stop, man.

Come on.

I just wanna talk things

through like men, okay?

[Epperson] Trick.

[Clown Mask]

Dude, just shut up.

He's gonna kill you.

Stop it.

Please, leave him alone.

No, he's not gonna kill us.

You're not gonna

kill us, are you?

No, we haven't seen your face.

Your face is covered.

You keep your face covered

'cause you can get what you want

and you get away free.

You know how I know this?

Because this is my game!

You're not a killer.

You were saying?

(camera shutter clicking)

(Buddy laughing)

And now we know each other.

Man, you gotta talk to me.

It's Olivia.

I can't get this Samms

guy out of prison.

Maybe I could come

up with some money.

Angel, listen to me.

You've gotta tell me

he's not gonna kill her.

I'm going to handle this,

but I'm gonna need to leave.

It's very important

that you stay here

and act like

nothing is going on.

Do not leave the

house, understand?

What are you gonna do?

I'm getting your ESN number.

It's gonna help us find Olivia.

Every call you get,

every call you make,

I'll be able to hear.

Every text, every photo.

What you see, I will see.

Just remember,

he said no cops.

Luckily, I'm

not a cop anymore.

[Woman] Then,

the call came in.

[Bobby] About the finger?

[Woman] Yeah,

about the finger.

[Detective] Let's go.

[Woman] He was a good

detective and a good person.

He helped me get the job here

after I finished the academy.

You keep referring to

him in the past tense.

Habit of the job, I guess.

[Bobby] I guess.

That was the case he

worked on a few years ago.

I had called 911

about a tenant of mine

who had gone missing.

Epperson was one of the cops

who showed up to question me.

He was nice.

Partner was kind of a douche.

Okay, that's one of

our guys out there.

Great.

Seems like you

boys only show up...

When you guys can't

get the job done.

And, Officer.

Grant.

Trust me, I didn't

ask for this case.

(subdued music)

[Man] Yes, the

department recognizes

that the case was closed

over three years ago.

Epperson is a

great investigator.

He's my go to guy, but he

developed a fascination,

I'll call it, with

the Deathstalker case.

[Bobby] As in he believes

the Deathstalker's

still out there?

It wasn't just

the Deathstalker.

Detective Epperson

has found it hard

to let cases go just in general.

So, I've heard.

Now, you talk about Detective

Epperson in the present.

Officer Grant talks about

him in the past tense.

Professional

preference, I guess.

I guess.

But, in your

professional opinion,

do you think Detective

Epperson's disappearance

has something to do

with a past case,

or the current case

with the Deathstalker?

Lieutenant,

hot-off-the-press results.

You're the first.

Good timing.
