of fun, but...

her reaction was

way over the top and...

this wasn't funny anymore.

I mean, we didn't know

that she was on antidepressants.

So she should never have had

anything to drink

in the first place.

And none of us could have known

that she was going

to kill herself.

It was pretty horrific.

[exhales]

[door buzzer rings]

[cell phone beeps]

Becks, it's me.

I really need you.

Please answer your phone.

Becks!

This is my 500th time

calling you.

Please call me back, I need you.

[soft music]

What are we doing?

What?

You want to know what I heard?

I heard you're trying

to be the first guy

in Zeta history to sleep

with every girl in Phi Lambda.

Who told you that?

I don't really care, Carter.

It's just scratching

an itch, right?

[light rock music]

[light rock music continues]

[shower tap squeaks open]

[shower water pattering]

[ominous music]

[screams] Oh, my God!

[slashes]

Ana?

Is he gone?

I waited as long as I could.

Ana?

[shower dripping]

Ana?

[suspenseful music]

[eerie music]

[screams]

[groans]

[glass shatters]

[shouts]

[shouts]

[suspenseful music]

[screams]

[slashes]

[camera clicks]

[camera clicking]

[ominous music]

Again, no sign of a break-in.

Not from the front door, anyway.

What an artist.

[camera flashes]

Must have been interrupted

by the roommate.

[Grey] See the girl

in the living room?

[Cole] What did he take

from her?

[Grey] Nothing.

No body parts missing.

No doll routine.

Ana was Phi Lambda.

The roommate, not yet.

How do you know?

Just check it out.

I'm sure of it.

Okay.

Hey. Come with me.

[camera flashes]

- I need you on this, Cole.

- But...

Just shut the f*** up

and listen.

We're gonna set up a nice,

cozy dinner

with the Commissioner,

and then hopefully,

he makes this IA jazz go away.

Just get rid

of this f***ing serial killer

before anything else happens.

Yes, ma'am.

[cell phone rings]

Riley, thank God.

[Riley] Dad, I cannot find

Becks anywhere.

I've gone by her

place twice now...

Wait. Just relax.

We'll find Becks. Stay put.

- [suspenseful music]

- [door buzzer rings]

- [door buzzer rings]

- Come on.

[ring tone beeping]

- Still no answer?

- Nothing.

Okay. We're going in.

[suspenseful music]

[door creaks open]

[screaming sounds]

Not again. How old are you?

[Cole] Becks.

Put some clothes on

and answer your damn phone.

[Becks] Okay.

Only if it's you calling.

- Is that your dad?

- No, it's not my dad.

Wait, wait, wait.

[Becks] Oh, my God.

What, the sh*t dick?

Don't mess up his face.

[Carter on video]

I mean, I know...

[Ellingham] I understand you

discovered this Row connection.

Good work.

It's not him.

...on campus

and you're the only one...

He had dates

with all three victims

on that f***ing app.

[Cole] It's too easy.

Doesn't make it wrong.

- The app is a distraction.

- For what?

From the true link, Phi Lambda.

Why the f***

are you with these girls...

[shouts] I'm not! I swear!

[officer]

Why are they dying now?

[Carter] I don't know,

I don't know.

- Why?

- I don't f***ing know!

Follow your hunch...

but I am not letting

that little prick out.

[phone rings]

- [Cole] Riley.

- I heard about Carter West.

[Cole] You know him?

A little bit.

[Riley] He left with Laura

the night that she was killed.

How do you know that?

Because I was there too.

I'm really sorry

that I didn't tell you.

But, Dad, I really don't think

that Carter did this.

Neither do I.

[Cole] When can I see you?

Name a time and place.

You can even bring

that valet guy if you want.

Really?

- You know he has a name.

- [Cole] Sorry.

I have trouble

taking a kid seriously

that uses his last name only.

[Riley] And I understand that,

but Miller is his first name.

How about tonight?

We could come over,

make you dinner.

- Oh! Sh*t!

- What?

I've got a dinner

with the Commissioner tonight.

You know what, it's early,

and I won't eat too much.

- How's 8:
00 sound?

- 8:
00 is perfect.

Okay, then. I'll see you then.

[cell phone beeps]

[indistinct police chatter]

[door clanks open]

[door thuds closed]

Hey, you're late.

I'll walk with you.

So my first go round,

I found three links

to faculties and students.

One being Riley, of course,

and a Nina Baker,

a Phi Lambda house mom.

She was a student

from '88 to '91.

- Okay, right.

- And an Alex Villiers.

He's a psych professor.

He was a freshman in '91.

And was a Zeta.

Can we track his phone movement?

- We're already all over it.

- All right.

[car door clanks shut]

[truck drives by]

- Hey, Riley.

- Hey, Professor V.

Dinner with the parents?

Something like that.

My mother just moved out here.

New couch.

That's a big couch.

Kill me now.

Huh.

See you.

See you in class.

[eerie music]

[heartbeats]

[suspenseful music]

- Hi.

- Hi.

- How are you?

- Good.

- How are you?

- Good.

- You look nice.

- Thank you.

You're welcome.

[door creaks shut]

Something smells good.

My dad and I have

this ongoing cooking war,

and I'm convinced tonight

I'm gonna beat him.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yes.

Where is your dad?

Um, he said he's running late

but he should be here soon.

What's in the bag?

Did you bring me a gift?

[laughs]

Yeah, yeah, something like that.

Do you mind helping me

set the table?

[Grey] Villiers checks out,

GPS from his phone came back.

- Are you sure?

- [Grey] Yeah.

We're gonna bring him in anyway,

but he looks clean.

Okay, let me know what he says.

[cell phone beeps]

Someone wouldn't have

to break in...

just make copies of their keys.

You got a nice place.

Thank you.

We moved here after my mom died.

Oh, yeah? After the fire?

I told you about the fire?

Yeah. At the dinner, remember?

Huh.

Sir?

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

[car engine starts]

[car tires screeching]

Angie Rakowski.

I think she has a brother.

Find out what his name is.

What happened to your arm?

Ohh...

Shark attack.

[laughs]

Shark attack, okay.

Okay, I don't know

what to do with those, so...

- I can handle this.

- I'm gonna grab a beer.

Yeah, just in the fridge.

[suspenseful music]

[eerie music]

[keyboard taps]

Jesus Christ. Angie Rakowski

burned herself to death.

Well, what about the brother?

Parents died shortly before

she did in a car accident.

And a brother, Miller Rakowski.

He's the killer, Grey.

Sh*t. I'll send units

to his house right away.

[Cole] Track Riley's phone too.

- Riley's phone?

- [Cole] He's after Riley.

Just do it.

[cell phone ringing]

Come on, Riley.

Answer the phone.

Answer the phone.

[cell phone vibrating]

Miller?

Miller?

- [police sirens wailing]

- [tires screeching]

- Miller Rakowski!

- Police department!

- [knocks on door]

- Miller Rakowski!

[door slams open]

Miller Rakowski!

Police department,

show yourself!

[thrilling music]

Miller...

[police officer]

Miller Rakowski, show yourself!

He's not here.

Clear! He's gone.

Damn! Ain't no signs of him.

[sighs]

Wait. We got keys.

It's the truck outside.
