Well, good morning, baby

She said it's middle

of the afternoon...

Katherine?

Kathy?

Kathy!

Katherine?

Kathy?

Kat...

shouldn't you be in bed, baby?

Kathy?

Oh, sh*t.

Try and relax.

Breathe.

Breathe for me.

Breathe for me.

Come on!

Come on!

That's it.

Look at me.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay, I got you.

Okay.

I got you.

I got you.

Okay, I got you.

I got you.

I got you.

I saw her.

Who did you see, baby?

Who, baby?

Who did you see?

Katherine?

Kathy?

What are you doing, baby?

Oh, my God. Baby.

What are you doing?

Oh, sh*t. Tell me.

Baby, what's going on?

What do you want?!

What do you want?!

I'm trying to f***ing help you!

I'm trying to f***ing help you!

Leave her alone!

Leave her alone!

Okay, wait.

Wait for it.

We're all about set.

And 3, 2, 1, phew!

You're in, dude.

Use it for good, not for evil.

Thanks, man.

Oh, man, thank you.

Yeah, and remember you

only got 90 minutes

before the whole thing just

self-shuts down, right?

And, uh, if you get busted, bro,

I only came here

to fix your hard drive.

Comprende?

Got it.

You came here

to fix the hard drive.

Sheriff, why...

"Thrill."

Was it a...

Was a thrill for him?

Bingo.

He's following these.

He's following all of them.

Visionary.

Which one's visionary?

No. No, no, no,

no, no, no, no!

No, there's...

There's one more murder.

Sh*t.

Who's the sixth victim?

How you feeling, baby?

I feel great.

What's wrong?

He tortured them, all of them.

It was just...

It was a game,

and the sick son of a b*tch

is still out there.

What are you gonna do?

Try and get the cases reopened?

I don't think I can.

Sheriff Stance is determined

to keep a lid on it,

and he fired

the last two deputies,

and there's still

a sixth victim.

There's no record for it.

Do you think that Sheriff Stance

had something to do with it?

I don't know.

I hadn't even

thought about that.

I hope that the ghosts are happy

with all of the hard work

that you're doing.

I am so proud of you.

Thank you, baby.

Here.

Come on.

Let's celebrate.

What?

Ah, f***.

God.

Connor Lucas.

Connor Lucas.

Connor Lucas.

Connor Lucas.

Connor Lucas.

Connor Lucas.

Holy sh*t!

Oh, Jesus!

What the f***?

Connor Lucas.

Connor Lucas.

Connor Lucas.

Connor Lucas.

Connor Lucas.

Connor Lucas.

Connor Lucas.

Connor Lucas.

Connor Lucas.

Connor Lucas.

Connor Lucas.

Connor Lucas.

Connor Lucas.

Connor Lucas.

Connor Lucas.

Connor Lucas.

Who is Connor Lucas?

Is he... Is he

the sixth victim?

Or is he the murderer?

September 9. September 9.

September 9.

Son of a b*tch.

There's a pattern.

There's a pattern.

Each of these crimes

is completely different,

but they all share

one thing in common.

Each fits one type

of serial killer,

and he covered this

with meticulous detail.

Like this one,

this is when the killer

takes something valuable

from the victim.

This is the only victim

that had something taken.

Look what it says.

"Gain."

Gain.

This is his signature.

Each one fits a type.

But this one here,

this one's missing.

This one's missing from the

pattern, visionary.

Well, maybe he got scared,

wised up, moved away.

No, no.

He's not scared.

Look at the crime scenes.

Does this guy

look scared to you?

Well, I can certainly

run it by the Sheriff,

see what he says.

That's, uh...

I don't... I don't...

That's not a good idea.

Well, what are you saying?

Look, the last two deputies

who went poking around

were fired, okay?

I don't want you

to lose your job.

Nah, there's no way the Sheriff

will protect a killer.

Yes, but he would

protect himself!

Okay, now you're losing me.

And you gotta be careful making

these types of allegations.

Now, if you wanna

get along in this town,

you gotta watch who you offend.

Look, all I'm trying to say is

that the two local murders

were investigated

by the Sheriff,

and they were

not investigated properly,

and the two deputies who said

something were fired.

Then the mayor makes

this generous contribution

to the Sheriff's

road safety campaign,

and a month later, the Sheriff

buys a... a brand-new home.

So now the mayor's involved?

No, I... Mayor or no mayor,

I don't know,

but the Sheriff is involved,

and I am... I am this close

to finding the truth.

Okay, I wanna help.

I'll look into it,

see if I can find some more

information on the sixth victim.

Okay.

Until then, let's keep

this between us.

Absolutely.

Just pump the brakes

until you hear from me, okay?

Okay, okay.

All right.

Thank you so much.

I really appreciate it.

Hey...

good job.

W-What do you

want from me?

Remember me?

I've done everything you want!

What do you want from me?!

Remember me?

Remember me?

What do you want?

Remember me?

Who did this to you?

Who did this to you?

You did.

I... I didn't do anything.

You did.

You did.

You did.

You did.

You did.

You did.

You did.

You did.

You did.

You did.

You did.

You did.

You did.

You did.

You did.

You did.

You did.

You did.

You did.

Michael, Michael Lane.

Hi. My name is Michael.

My name is Michael Lane.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Michael Lane.

Yeah, I just, um...

I just moved here from a little

town called Woodbine.

It's so small, it doesn't even

show up on the GPS.

It's been hard to meet people.

But it's given me time

to work on my novel.

No kidding.

You're a writer, too.

Yeah, I'd love

to read your stuff.

It's my first medieval thriller.

"Knight Fire."

Well, the Knight's the hero.

Of course.

I'd love your opinion.

You'd be the first to read it.

I'd be honored.

That's okay.

Red or white?

Let me see.

Hmm.

Think we'll go with the white.

Heh.

I hate it when the red

stains my clothes.

God, please don't hurt me!

Almost there.

B*tch.

Yeah?

This is how you f***ing play.

Eh? Huh?

Hey, Katherine.

Hi, Michael.

Um, I thought I was

gonna get your voice mail.

No, you...

You got the real thing.

I know you're busy.

I just wanted to say

that this has been the best

week of my life.

Can't wait to see you tomorrow.

Yeah, me, too.

I got big plans.

Well, um, have a good night.

I'll be thinking of you.

You, too.

Sh*t.

What the f***?

"Michael."

Michael. Michael.

Michael.

Michael.

F***.

What the f***?

Hello.

Hey. I was

thinking of you.

Oh.

That's good.

Um...

who am I?

Um, you're

Mr. Wonderful.

No. I'm...

I'm serious. I...

I don't...

I don't know where I am.

I don't...

You were the last person

I spoke to.

I... I don't

remember anything.

You're serious.

What's going on?

Where are you?

I'll be right there.

Congratulations, Connor.

You finally got it.

You've come

to the end of your story.

I told you you had it in you,

but you didn't believe me.

I'm Connor Lucas.

Yes, and you are

the visionary, Connor.

Katherine is the final

brushstroke in your masterpiece.

That's what you intended

four years ago.

But better late than never, eh?

Shoot her!

Right in the head!

You're the visionary.

Hurry!

We don't have much time.
