I'm Mary Riesgraf reporting

live from the studio downtown.

Let's check in with Andra,

Who's at the site

of the investigation.

Thanks, Mary.

Law enforcement officials

have described

the event as one of

the most tragic,

gruesome murders

that this town has seen.

My daughter called me

when she heard gunshots.

They say it was a scene

from a horror movie.

Paul and Lily Anders were in

the comfort of their own home...

They were always so nice to me.

We still don't know

what, if any,

Was the cause of

such a brutal attack.

Continues

Billy!

Dramatic music

Boo!

Hey, Mikey.

Hey. Are you ready

for the big one?

I think so.

What about you?

Yeah, I got it.

Yeah? See you later.

See you later.

Um...

Do you have a minute,

chef Brookstone?

Most certainly.

Uh, why don't we go

into my office?

And, Lily, please,

just call me Stephan.

Thank you again

for the extra time

to make up my exams.

The move-in took a little longer

than Paul and I expected.

That's fine.

All fine. It happens.

You know,

You are one of

my shining examples.

Oh...

No, validation

that my methods

work beautifully.

But don't think

for a moment I don't notice you

adding your own magic.

Hmm.

Without being

a complete copycat.

You know, I really, really think

that that is an excellent...

Oh, that's very kind of you.

Um...

So,

how are things going with you and... Paul?

Great.

Wonderful, in fact.

Oh, god, look at

the time. I got to get going,

But thank you so much

for all your kind words,

and I'll see you

tomorrow, so... bye.

No, no. It's around

what you asked for.

8,257 square feet.

And it's ready now.

The previous owners left about a month ago.

Ooh, was it a celebrity?

I can't disclose that.

Well, it will interest you

that any info like that

couldn't hurt in tipping my

liaison's interest, so spill it.

I'll see what I can do.

That's better.

Now, about this pool... is there any

room for a waterslide extension?

And would the neighborhood be averse

to a helicopter coming in and out?

Hey, everyone,

this is "awesome" Austin Phillips

on Wyndham's 105.3

just keeping you updated.

The ferry services are closed

due to some police activity,

But...

God! Are you

kidding me?

Damn it!

Oh, god!

Lily? Are you

having some trouble?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Lily...

Hey!

Hi.

Who's your friend here,

And where's the car?

Hey, there.

You may have heard of me.

Stephan Brookstone.

I'm...

He's my head instructor

at the academy, Remember?

Yes, you,

uh... you have a bit of car trouble.

Luck had it I was nearby.

So we had to tow your car.

But I know the best mechanic in town.

He's brilliant, so...

And he helped me get groceries.

So, glad to give a hand.

What have you got in here?

Is this for me?

Okay.

Have a good day.

Thank you.

How's the car?

Oh. Should be

a quick fix.

I got their card.

Hmm.

Would you relax? I told you,

He's harmless.

You did such a good job of

putting the kitchen together.

And all by your lonesome.

I picked up a few things,

None of which include

taking pictures

of how things happen

in other kitchens.

Oh, whatever works.

Sorry I wasn't around

to help out with that.

You know what?

Hmm?

I cannot wait

Until you are done with school,

Because I am gonna

eat like a king.

Oh,

just because I'm doing all this cooking

and learning all these gourmet dishes,

don't think for a second

that you're gonna have me

slaving around in here.

What's that smell?

Crap! God!

This is what I'm talking about.

Are you sure it said "high"?

Uh...

Did I say "high"?

This is ruined now!

What was I thinking?

It wasn't supposed to be so hot.

Paul, you're distracting me.

Now I have to start all over.

Lily, honey,

it's not gonna take that long, okay?

Just go do something

with yourself.

Go... watch TV

or whatever.

Go!

The body of 50-year-old Elaine Schwartz

was discovered in

her home by a friend

just after 5:
00

last night.

She'd reportedly been stabbed

to death in her home.

Her 18-year-old son, Trevor,

was found critically wounded nearby.

W.P.D. Swarmed the island,

searching for a killer.

W.P.D. Locked down

Wyndham island,

Closing roads and temporarily

suspending ferry service.

No one will be allowed

off the island unchecked

until the suspected

killer is caught.

Yeah,

the call came in after 5:00,

and of course with Wyndham...

I'm sorry...

for,

you know.

I'm just really tense

about this class.

Chef Brookstone can be nice,

But he can be a real stickler

about things being perfect.

What are you watching?

The families members

of the past Wyndham murders

questioned that.

I can't believe this guy.

...regarding the death and wonder

if a connection will be made...

Let's watch

something else, okay?

That's right folks. It's gonna be a

cold one today on the east coast.

Wait, wait.

Go back.

18-year-old son, Trevor,

was found critically wounded nearby.

A memorial service was held today at

St. Augustine's church on Main street,

marking 15th anniversary of

the original Wyndham murders.

Do you want to just order

a pizza or something?

The full-course dinner's gonna

take longer than I expected.

We could just eat it

for leftovers.

Hello?

Auntie, is that you?

What happened to your voice?

How are you?

Are you okay?

Calm down.

What about daddy?

What?

Aah!

What...

What happened?

He's...

Adrian Rockford's loved ones'

lives will go on,

but always with loving memories

of the dearly departed.

We commit this body

to the earth.

Earth to earth, ashes to ashes,

dust to dust.

In the name of the Father,

the Son, and the Holy Spirit,

Amen.

If any of you

would like to share

your memories of Adrian,

now is the time.

I don't know what to say.

I loved my baby brother.

He never took very

good care of himself,

bless him.

But you know something?

He was always die-hard

when it came to making sure

everybody else was square,

and I'm sure that means the

world to everybody here.

I admit...

L-I'm ticked off.

I...

he burns me up. I...

I'm the eldest one.

Rules say I go first. Me.

I go first, Adrian!

Me!

I can't stand to see him

on top of that thing!

Sorry.

Would anyone else like to speak?

This is your time.

What's the matter

with her? Come on.

She'll be okay.

Lily.

Lily...

Lily, let's go

back in, sweetheart.

All right.

It's okay.

You can stay out here

as long as you like.

You kept us away

from each other.

You kept me from him.

You know why.

I'm sorry I can't stay, sweetie.

I have to work early

in the morning.

Are you gonna be okay?

Come here.

Okay.

Get some rest.

Paul.

Drive safely.

Thank you.

Go get some rest.

Paul, do you have any brandy?

Lily, honey,

It's been a long day.

Let's get you ready

for bed, huh?

We all need our rest.

I could've sworn I just saw...

What?

It was nothing.

Yeah.

We should probably

all get some rest.

Are you okay?

I feel like I...

I'm gonna be sick.

I'm gonna take you to the sink.

- I'm sorry.
