(ominous music)

- Good evening.

It seems the kidnapper

investigators are calling

The Collector has found yet

another young victim today.

Reporting live from the scene...

- Yes, I know this has been

going on for some time now,

but I pay my rent on time

and (mumbles) compensated

me for all of the damages.

Yes.

Yes sir.

- [Reporter] Police

have found no bodies...

(thunder crashing)

- Yes, yes sir, I know.

I just need more time.

Okay, I promise, I'll put an end to it

by the end of the month.

(slow music)

- [Reporter] Hasn't been giving

us the details that we want

regarding The Collector's case,

but we did find from

reliable sources that--

Edwin grew up an average boy.

He lives with his single mother, Agatha.

Other than an absentee father,

Edwin suffered no apparent trauma.

He plays just like any other normal boy.

(laughing)

He has the occasional

nightmare, as children do.

Everything seemed to be going well

until the sudden onset of

a very strange obsession.

How did this happen?

And more importantly, why?

- Spider.

Pink spider.

Dead spider.

- Look up.

Look down.

Look up.

I don't think these are really necessary.

- No, doctor, you don't understand.

It is out of control.

I told you.

I told you.

Yes sir, they're here right now.

And I can assure you this

will never happen again.

Because he's on a special medication.

Yes, it's all under control.

Edwin!

Lunch is ready!

Take it.

Let me see.

Good boy.

- Detective O'Malley, is there

any details you can tell us

about The Collector's case?

- There's not a lot of information we have

at this particular time.

- Is there anything you want to say

to concerned parents out there perhaps?

- Well, I do believe

that most of the crimes

are seemingly happening

in apartment complexes,

so if you live in one, just be careful.

- That was Detective O'Malley

that we just spoke to

and unfortunately as you can see,

the detective isn't giving

any details that we want

surrounding The Collector's case.

But we did find from

reliable sources that--

- Edwin?

Edwin?

I'm gonna go downstairs

and do some laundry, okay?

- This is a strange turn

of events, Ted, and--

(crashing)

Edwin.

(sighs)

Stay right there, okay, sweetie?

Edwin.

It's not funny, come out.

(crashes)

Edwin?

(scribbling)

Oh.

(gasps)

(ominous music)

(clanking)

(ominous music)

(squeaks)

(alarm ringing)

- We have not been granted access

to the crime scene just yet,

but reports are coming in

that the police came across

a mind boggling turn of

events in the Collector case.

Back to you, Ted.

- I didn't hear anything.

It was quiet all night

until you guys came.

- I went to bed at probably 11:00.

And that's all I know.

Thank you.

That's all I know.

- Where is it?

(slow music)

(ominous music)

- Edwin, tell me what you see.

- Butterfly.

Turkey.

Prehistoric bug.

Spider.

(gasps)

Spider.

- There's a price to pay for

eating flesh in these woods.

(laughs)

You belong to the Mordeo now.

(gasps)
