I had to eat more of those damn pierogies,

but I should get a meeting with the chairman soon.

Okay. Perfect.

No. Don't go in there.

Don't go in there! Oh!

[ Sighs, Chuckles ]

Let me just say, if he hadn't have washed his hands,

this investigation would be over right here.

[ Deep lnhaling ]

So, he sounds pretty damn normal.

Yeah. Nothing really shouts out "psycho killer,"

but I still feel like I'm missing something.

- Ah! Hey.

Sorry. Hope I didn 't scare you.

- How'd you get in here?

- Oh, I mentioned your name. The guard let me in.

Ah.

Oh, so you're Jim.

- The Jim.

- Nice to know I've been talked about.

You have no idea.

This is my friend, Lisa.

She has a black belt in karate.

Hey-hey-hey. Me too.

Ohhh.

I'm sorry for barging in, but I couldn't wait

all the way until saturday to see you.

Hey, is this Titian?

Yeah. You know Titian?

Literally the only thing I remember from art history.

Hey, do you wanna go grab a drink?

Uh, I can't.

I'm not comfortable with you--

I mean, leaving with you--

I mean leaving without finishing this here.

I understand.

I'll let you get back to it.

I'm sorry if I scared you,

but it's just me, not some psycho killer.

For you.

Hey, just curious.

Did the police ever contact that woman or find her body?

Thanks a lot.

You couldn't just let me enjoy that for a second, could you?

Maybe you better keep investigating.

Been runnin' so long

I've nearly lost all track of time

In every direction

I couldn't see the warnin' signs

I must be losin' it

Cause my mind plays tricks on me

It looked so easy

But you know

looks sometimes deceive

Been runnin'so fast

Right from the starting line

No more connections

I don't need any more advice

One hand's just reachin' out

And one 's just hangin 'on

It seems my weaknesses

Just keep goin' strong

Head over heels

where should I go

Can't stop myself

Out of control

Head over heels

No time to think

Looks like the whole world's

out of sync

That Winston.

I swear the women just flock after him.

Is that her? The short one?

I thinkso.

Last time I saw her, she was all dolled up.

Well, we better check her out, make sure we don't

have another Megan O'Brien on our hands.

- For your collection.

- Oh. I have just the shoes for this.

- What do you want?

- Does he rent a storage space?

Ugh.

This better be important.

It's me.

- Guess what. I found it.

- Found what?

The body.

Jim kept it in a duffel bag in his storage space--

the only place we didn't search.

In a duffel bag?

Where are you now?

Central Park, a perfect place to bury a body.

I mean, who comes hereafter dark besides murderers?

Oh, Wait, Wait. He stopped.

Go, go, go, go, go. Go past, go past.

Stop up there.

Whose cottage cheese is this?

Shh!

Hold on a second.

Thank you. Keep the change.

Allright, I'm following him into the woods.

Do you think that maybe one of us should

hang up and call the police?

Don't hang up on me.

This is it.

He's put it down.

Oh, my God, he just pulled out a shovel.

He's gonna bury it right here.

Oh, my God!

Wait.

Maybe it's not a shovel.

- Well, what is it?

- It's--

- It's a baseball bat.

- Run!

Oh. For a Little League team.

He coaches a Little League team.

That is so sweet.

Isn't that sweet?

Hello?

Hello?

Amanda, please tell us you're gonna

stop investigating him now?

Only long enough to go out with him.

Oh, is this the--

Okay, kind sir.

I don't mean to be discriminatory,

but there is an age limit to get on the waiting list.

Oh. No, no, no.

Uh, uh, pardon me. My name is Halloran.

I'm here to see Ms. Amanda Pierce about some work.

We spoke on the phone.

Wow.

It's very unusual.

Russian, turn-of-the-century?

Well, I'm impressed.

You know your stuff.

What are these... holes?

- I think mice.

- Oh. Very neat mice.

Oop. Excuse us.

I booked my first big runway show tomorrow.

Great!

Oh. Huh.

Nice view.

Yeah, if you're into that sort of thing.

We usually keep the blinds closed.

Big Jim! How's it goin'?

Uh, Bernie.

Hey, listen. Whatever happened to Megan?

It's like she disappeared.

Megan?

Megan O'Brien.

You know, the blonde?

It's weird. Nobody's seen her since your party.

- What the hell happened to her?

- You know, I don't-- I don't know if I, uh--

I think she went on vacation.

Vacation?

During fashion week? That's crazy!

It's good to see you, Bern.

Anything look good for dessert?

Mmm.

Everything.

- We'll have everything.

- Very good, sir.

- What? Are you kidding?

- No.

I'm not in a rush. Are you?

No!

This is awesome.

Do you realize that every time you took a

bite of something good at dinner,

you made a little sound?

Like, mmm.

No, no. I did? Oh, God.

It's like a cat purring, or--

I just-- I like it, that's all.

Okay, they made it to the dessert

course without any bloodshed.

Can we go to party now?

Yeah, let's hurry.

I'm getting hives just from being around

all these ugly people.

- EWW.

- Guys, get serious.

I told you I think he killed that Megan girl.

We never should have pushed Amanda to go out with him.

The fashion world is complicated.

It's all about the next thing.

Everybody's running around all crazy,

looking for some new idea,

but they're too frantic to actually experience it.

That's not what I want.

Well, what do you want?

To know a good thing when I find it.

Like tonight, and the way you look.

You make me feel--

I just wish I could freeze this moment and

hold onto it, you know? Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Let's get outta here.

What? What about dessert?

Yeah. Uh, sorry.

Do me a favor.

Meet me outside, okay?

Okay.

Oh, no!

They're coming at us!

Amanda will freak if she sees us.

It's Jim. Again!

Oh, God, please.

Please, just let him pee.

Did you lock the door?

Yeah.

We only got a few minutes.

Whip that bad boy out.

Here you go.

That is huge.

All right, I'm gonna stick it in now.

Sweet.

Ah! Ah, man, careful!

Don't worry. I've stuffed it

in to tighter holes than this!

No, I'm out with her right now.

Fine. Fine! They want a body,

I'll give 'em a goddamn body.

Jeez!

YoW!

What are you doing?

It's gonna blow, man! Get out!

That can't be good.

Sh*t!

Okay, don't move.

Uh, hey, hey, Jim?

What's going on here? Where are we exactly?

Hmm?

Allright. You can open 'em up now.

Well, I light the sun

And the darkness will turn into light

Jim, how did you--

I know some people.

I used to clean the aquariums here when I was a kid.

They're amazing.

Yeah, they're beluga whales.

- That's, um, Ben,

- Uh-huh.

and that's Betty.

That's Ben's second wife.

Oh.

Whenever I get stressed out, I come here,

watch these guys, try to be more like them.
