Stop it!

Okay, um, so a little...

A little context here.

After our scuffle,

I don't know where he went.

He just ran off.

I, uh...

I had to get my car towed.

And now I'm home.

And, you know,

I-I thought this was over.

I was just writing it off

as just a weird thing

that happened.

And, lo and behold,

a few days later,

I got this in the mail,

which means he knows my address.

That's a little disconcerting.

I don't know, I'm kind of having

trouble interpreting it.

I-I guess that's a...

He's supposed

to be digging a grave there

and, you know,

there's these bags.

I don't know if that's supposed

to be a body or something

in the bags that's chopped up.

Um, I don't know.

I mean,

is that supposed to be me?

Okay.

You know what?

No.

We are just going to

get rid of this

and pretend like

it didn't happen.

There we go.

That's it.

Okay.

Maybe that's not it.

I've been having

crazy ass dreams tonight.

And it's me and Josef,

and we're at the Heart Rock.

Only it's a hot tub.

And we're just...

We're both sitting in it,

and he's got

the Peachfuzz mask on,

and I don't think that's weird

'cause I have one on too.

Only mine's like a...

Like a... like a baby mask.

Baby wolf.

And we're drinking wine.

And then he leans over to me,

and he just starts

pouring the wine over my head.

And I look down

and I realize I'm...

I'm a little baby,

and he's giving me a tubby.

And there's something weird

about the water.

I put my hand in it

and reach up,

and it's just covered in blood.

It's just a weird dream.

I got to stop thinking

about this guy.

Just heard the doorbell ring

while I was in the bathroom,

and the delivery guy

left this on my doorstep.

There's no return address,

so I have a good idea

who it's from.

Hey.

So, um, just to clear the air,

I do want to apologize

for that last video I sent you.

It was a little manipulative

and a bit

of an emotional response

and, um, I'm sorry about that.

But in all fairness,

I wasn't quite in my right head

because, well, you did drug me.

I found the empty Benadryl

bottle in the house

and, um, I got to say,

pretty cool move.

So, the way I see it

is tit-for-tat,

no hard feelings,

but just in case,

I thought I'd send you

this little gift

to clear the air between us

and make sure we're cool.

I'm assuming by now

you have the knife

and you have the video

you're watching.

But if you haven't found

the third element,

I would encourage

you to press pause now

and dig a little deeper.

I love wolves

because they love deeply,

but they don't know

how to express it

and they're often very violent

and, quite frankly, murder

the things that they love

and inside of the wolf

is this beautiful heart.

And yeah, it's misguided.

And yeah, occasionally

it murders things

and this little wolf

was so cute,

it reminded me of you honestly.

You know, that moment

I scared you in the woods,

and it was... there was murder

in your eyes,

but it was, like...

t was baby murder.

You're not ready

to accept that yet.

But I want to encourage you

to embrace your inner wolf.

So take the wolf.

Enjoy it.

And more importantly,

take the knife

and don't be afraid

to murder it,

because when you stick a knife

in something

and you gut it

and you really dig inside,

I don't know, man.

There's all this

beautiful stuff.

And, um...

I got a little surprise

for you in there.

See you soon, buddy.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

It's time to call the cops.

Hi. Hi.

My name is Aaron Franklin.

I'm calling to report

a violent domestic incident

and a stalker.

Well, I don't know

if he's dangerous-dangerous,

but he's really weird

and super creepy

and I'm starting

to get scared for my safety.

His name is Josef.

Or at least I think it is.

He lies a lot.

No, I don't know...

I don't know his last name.

No, I... I don't know

where he lives.

We met in a cabin

he claimed was his,

but I looked it up,

and it's just some rental.

No, I have no way of finding him

or contacting him.

Well, there must be something

you can do.

Can't you send someone over to

take fingerprints or something?

He... he sent me a heart locket

and a knife.

You can use those.

Well, I'm glad

you're taking this seriously.

You guys have been

entirely unhelpful.

I'm sure I'll be

sleeping soundly tonight.

So, I'm still having nightmares.

It's, like, the same one

over and over again,

just slightly different.

Anyway, it's like we're...

We're still in a hot tub,

but the hot tub has,

like, these,

like, retractable spikes

and when you sit down on 'em,

it's like they push up...

Okay. Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Lights.

Lights. Lights.

Lights.

Lights.

Is anybody here?

Hello?

Josef?

Hello?

If there's anyone trespassing

on the premises,

let it be known I have a knife.

I'm... I'm not afraid to use it.

I...

What was that?

Josef?

Hello?

Josef?

Is there anyone there?

God damn raccoons.

The last couple nights

have been pretty normal

until this.

This is where I sleep.

This is a broken screen

in my window.

This is not good.

All right.

Hey, Aaron.

I get this, you know,

you get a grave digging video

in the mail.

You throw it away.

That's not a big deal.

Um...

This was harder for me

to accept,

and this hurt me

because I made this for you,

and it was representative of...

Of our friendship

and that bond that you and I

made together

at that Heart Rock

right over there.

And you threw it away and...

And when I found it

in your trash can,

I-I got my heart broken.

And... and if I'm honest, it...

t sent me

into a little spiral and...

And I had some inappropriate

and wrong thoughts

about what I wanted to do to you

and to myself, honestly.

And that was a red flag,

and it scared me,

and I-I thought

a lot about it

and... and I realized something,

and it's that you were right.

You know, you were right

to throw that away,

'cause we're not friends.

Our relationship was based

on bullshit and lies that...

That I made up and... and...

And I'm sorry about that,

and... and I want to be

done with it,

and that's why I'm talking

to you today, okay?

This is my attempt

to be real and truthful

and honest with you.

And I'm not sure

I'm capable of it, but...

But I'm gonna try, okay,

to explain to you the truth.

And the truth is, I...

am...

The truth is, I don't know.

This is hard to talk about,

you know?

I-I don't know

what's wrong with me.

I've always done this.

I've... I've...

I've been pretending my...

My whole life and...

And then there was this phase

where I was like,

"Hey, I'll just be an actor,

because that's what actors do,

pretend."

So I went headlong into that,

and then, you know,

it did nothing for me

because it wasn't real.

Like, it... I could only

get off on it

unless it was real,

and so I saw doctors,

and some of them thought,

"Hey," you know, "He's crazy,"

and some thought not,

and there were medications,
