It's gonna be fun.

It's gonna be fun.

Okay. Hey.

Aaahhh!

Mr. Perrish committed

suicide earlier today.

We have recovered his vehicle.

Perrish's lawyer Lee Tourneau

was the only witness at the

scene. Mr. Perrish confessed

his crimes to Mr. Tourneau

and then killed himself.

Is there any

validity to the reports that

no body was found

in the vehicle?

Any and all reports

originating outside the Gideon

P.D. should be considered

hearsay and conjecture at

this time, nothing more.

No further questions.

Breaking news this evening from

the police force in the Merrin

Williams case. You have heard

tonight that Ig Perrish has

reportedly driven his

vehicle into the bay.

Although as of now, no

body has been recovered.

Well, one thing I'll

say in my favor...

I am f***ing hard to kill.

Why the

hell aren't you dead?

The truth is I don't know the

answer to that question myself.

I have prayed for so

long for you to die...

but when I saw

the news on the TV...

it didn't help one bit.

I didn't kill her, Mr. Williams.

But you know who

did it, don't you?

You gotta tell me.

What will you if I tell you?

You know what I'll do.

But this is my job.

People say you should

always do the right thing.

Sometimes there

is no right thing.

And then...

Well then you just have to pick

the sin you can live with.

Why don't you come inside.

Yesterday I was wandering around

the house and I found this.

I thought maybe I should

give it to the police, but...

that didn't feel right.

She wanted you to have this.

Thank you.

And there's something

I would like to give you.

Here.

Merrin's mother, she gave

this to her just before she...

You know, son, I think...

I think you need this

even more than I do.

I think you need her

to keep you safe.

Well now...

I guess maybe that's some

kind of blessing after all.

The horns weren't

a curse, but a blessing.

They had guided me this far.

And when I put on her cross...

I could feel her

protecting me again.

Dear Ig...

you'll never read

this while I'm alive.

I'm not even sure I want you

to read it after I'm dead.

I think you're gonna ask

me to marry you soon.

You don't know how

much I want to say yes.

But I can't.

What?

The thing is, Ig, I'm very sick.

The sort of cancer I have is

the kind that runs in families.

I saw my mother go through it...

and I saw what it

did to my father.

If I tell you I'm sick,

you're just gonna wanna

marry me even more.

And I'll be weak and say yes.

Then you'll give up your future

and be shackled to me...

as I go through

hell and die anyway.

I won't put you through it.

I love you too much.

My plan is to hurt you,

just enough to push you away.

And hopefully one day

you can forgive me...

and you will move

on to someone else.

You'll have children,

grandchildren and

great-grandchildren. You will

go for long walks in the woods.

On one of these walks,

when you're very old...

you'll find yourself at a tree,

with a house in its branches.

I'll be waiting for you there.

I'll be waiting by candlelight

in our treehouse...

shining the light of my

cross into your eyes.

The first message

I ever sent you.

Us.

I love you, Iggy Perrish.

Your girl, Merrin.

Iggy, you're alive.

You know- don't.

Iggy...

we have to clear your name.

We need to figure out

who really killed Merrin.

It was Lee.

If you're going after Lee,

then I am coming with you.

Terry, you're not

strong enough for that.

I am not leaving you.

I made myself a promise.

Never again.

If anything happens to me, I

need to know you're all right.

And for Mom and Dad's sake.

I'll be damned.

You and me both.

What are you doing out here, Ig?

You don't remember anything that

happened between us, do you?

You wanna come inside?

No, actually I was hoping

we could go for a walk.

I mean, nobody's looking for me.

Pretty much everyone in

town thinks I'm dead.

No sh*t.

So what do you say?

It's just a walk?

Yeah.

Okay.

Why'd you bring us here?

You know why.

Because this is where

you killed Merrin.

What happened to you?

You lost your mind?

Things are gonna go a

lot easier for both of us

if you don't lie to me.

Ig...

I'm your best friend.

You've known me your whole life.

Do you think I had

something to do with this?

Believe me, all I want

to do is kill you.

But I am trying to be human.

I am trying to be the kind of

man Merrin wanted me to be.

And so I am giving you this

chance to do the right thing.

We are gonna go down

to the police station.

Okay.

You are gonna turn yourself in.

Keep your

hands where I can see them, Lee.

Don't do anything stupid.

Oh, Terry.

What the f*** you

doing here, Terry?

Terry came to

talk to me just now.

Told me some things about

the night that Merrin died.

Anything he said, he's just

trying to save his own ass.

Go f*** yourself.

Yeah, f*** you too.

You told everybody

that Ig confessed to you

and then killed himself.

At least one of those

things isn't true.

So now I'm wondering, what else

you were lying to me about.

F***.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I have to- Okay.

I didn't mean to hurt her.

It was a mistake.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Okay. I'm gonna

do the right thing. Okay.

Okay, I'm gonna fix

all of this, okay?

You're doing good.

Okay.

That's right.

We've been friends a long time.

F***, Lee!

Why don't you

put the goddamn gun down.

Back the f*** up.

Back the f*** up.

Okay. Okay. Okay.

I'm so sorry, Merrin.

I'll see you soon.

Aaarrgghh!

Aaarrgghh!

No!

Please, Ig.

Ig?

In the end

I embraced the horns.

Like an angel who

fell to earth...

I became a devil one last time.

But revenge is all consuming.

And my time has come

to return to you...

so we can be together again.

No, no, I swear.

I mean, if this isn't paradise,

I don't know what is.

Are you horny?

I'm getting warmer.

Oh, fine.

No.

Yes.

No.

I'm gonna love you for

the rest of my life.

Just love me for

the rest of mine.
