The Butchering Page #3

I mean, I watch a lot

of crime investigation

and it makes sense.

Thank you.

Mark my words, it won't be long

before Miller's roaming

the streets again

in search of some new blood.

Yeah, well I've got my

fella, couples never die.

I'm her lobster.

Just don't have sex.

Hey, Julie.

I saw your uncle on

the T.V. this morning.

Yeah, some do.

He's your uncle?

He's a policeman.

He's investigating the murders.

Yeah, well, do us a favor.

Tell him not to go canceling

the party tomorrow night.

Yeah, I don't think...

You are going to

that party tonight.

I forbid you not to go.

My mum's away this weekend.

Even more reason then.

Why would you

wanna be home alone

on the most dangerous

night in Braxton's history?

Foolish, foolish girl.

Foolish girls die.

Butcher's next

victim, right here.

Did I hear

somebody say butcher?

Sorry, I couldn't

help but overhearing

because I was trying to.

You guys were talking

about Tommy Miller.

You're a Junior.

You can't just sit at our table.

That's really weak,

so I think I just did.

Where's your little

f*** chum today, then?

Okay, so calling us a

sandack was one thing,

but f*** chums.

Oh good, you're here.

Beavis was starting to worry.

We prefer the term,

heterosexual life partners.

So, how are the Braxton

Seniors this fine day?

Are you quote, unquote

shitting them for your safety?

You're sitting at our table.

Should you not be quote, unquote

shitting that your safety?

Is that a threat,

Mr. Anderson?

I think he's threatened us, Ron.

Certainly sounded like one.

Yeah, it was a threat.

- F***in' a**hole.

- Oliver!

Come on Oliver.

You didn't need to do that.

What?

It felt good.

Me and Monsheim Henderson

Me and Don Chibs

Grab me a latte.

Hi guys.

Hi Oliver.

Claudia.

Did you want

something Claudia?

Just wanted to say, hello.

I don't know if it's the

whole murder thing but

I'm feeling very giving today.

Yeah, you're always giving.

What was that?

I said, it's always

nice to be giving.

That's a nice jacket, Alicia.

I used to have one in red

but I'd given it to War On Want.

So, what's the

talk of the table?

I'll be back in a minute.

We were just talking

about the murder last night.

Oh I know, tragic.

My dad was freaking

out this morning.

He was like, Claudia babes,

you need to be so careful

because you're so beautiful.

And that would just rub a lot

of people up the wrong way.

Hey, Danny.

Julie.

Having fun?

Julie, wait.

Julie, wait.

Look, you haven't spoken

to me in three weeks.

If you could just...

You said, we needed a break.

You said, you needed a break.

We needed to keep our

distance for awhile.

Now, you're going

out with Claudia?

Look, I didn't think you

wanted to be with me anymore.

I mean, one moment when

we're fine and then (sighs)

and then we weren't fine.

Things just got awkward.

That's why you talk, Danny.

You tell me these things

so we can work on them.

You don't just

start running around

with the school hag.

Can we please just leave

the past in the past?

I mean, after

everything that happened

- with Micheal.

- No.

Don't you dare bring

Michael into this.

You know, they say death

brings like the best

and the worst in people.

And Michael's death...

christ, did it bring

out the worst in you?

You didn't even go to

his funeral, Danny.

Our...

(sighs)

Our best friend kills himself

and you don't even

go to his funeral.

I mean, I don't how many

times that I had to tell you

that there was nothing going

on between me and Michael.

I know.

And I'm sorry.

Look I'm sorry everyday.

I don't know what else to say.

You don't have to

say anything, Danny.

I just wanted to see

the look in your eyes

when I tell you that

you mean nothing to me,

not anymore.

What'd you do to

her now dumb ass?

Just f***in' leave her alone.

I don't know how you're

all thinking about this.

I don't know what

you're feeling.

As an adult, I don't know

what to think or feel.

Annabelle was a

lovely young lady.

She was a lovely young girl.

When she was a child,

she was a lovely child.

I don't know how you're

going to rationalize it,

how you're going to

feel about the loss of

one of your friends.

Ethan, I know that you and she

were good friends.

(game beeps)

I've seen you

together occasionally.

Oliver, I know that you and

she used to be quite friendly.

If there are problems,

if there are worries,

if there are questions

or queries, please ask.

Yes, Paul.

Miss de Geox you like her?

It's my fault.

I shouldn't have

even gone near him.

I just need to stop

feeling sorry for myself.

I'm just so angry at him.

It's all right to be angry.

I mean, I know

you're upset now but

vent it all here.

It's gonna make you

feel better, okay.

Claudia is a b*tch.

She'll dump him like

last week's Chinese,

you know she will.

She's a f***in' slut.

Yeah.

You all right?

Yeah.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm good.

Okay.

(clock chimes)

(somber music)

You went to the Miller house?

Yeah, it's just deserted

as it's ever been.

I see it for a

cult ritual or two.

Maybe he's checked himself

into a Holiday Inn somewhere.

Thankfully, our day

isn't a total bust.

Oh yeah.

We found something

in our victim's garden.

What did we find?

(thud)

Is there any DNA on it?

No, it's clean.

Look familiar?

This is the...

This is the mask that

he wore that night.

Does this leave us

to assume he's off

picking himself up a new one.

Right, this can't be

leaked to the press, okay.

If they get a hold of this,

if Tommy Miller is back

and the press get

a hold of this,

then it's gonna be

my ass on the plate.

So let's just, we'll

keep working it, yeah.

The minute I begin to

think he's targeting you,

I'm requesting a new partner

and you're skippin' town.

You're not a

bad partner, Will.

Give me time.

(school bell ringing)

(locker doors slam)

You're giving me a lift.

So...

You're gonna talk to me or what?

What were you saying to her?

Nothing.

It wasn't nothing.

You were talking to

her about something.

I'm not stupid.

Don't treat me like I'm

some sort of idiot, Danny.

Hope you made it clear to her

that you're with me now.

I think you did that yourself.

(Danny scoffs)

I mean, come on.

All this arm-in-arm sh*t.

People haven't done

that in a hundred years.

Are you trying to say that

you're embarrassed by me

or something because I

don't need you, Danny.

I won't be little miss

desperate girlfriend

chasing after you every

waking minute of the day

tryin' to see if you're

lookin' at another girl.

I've got a thousand fellas

lookin' in my direction

and who's lookin' in yours?

Damaged goods.

Damaged, f***ing

goods, that's all.

Do you wanna

cover that in here?

Go on.

Call her again!

Oh f*** you!

Just torture yourself.

And don't even think

about phoning me again

for at least a week.

(ominous music)

Yeah, they went

skiing in the Alps.

I know, they've

got the life of it.

Okay, bye.
