No, no.

- You're a killer.

- Oh, my God.

- A serial killer!

- I don't wanna be a killer.

Too late, shitbag!

There's no turning back.

You're a stone-cold

murdering maniac!

Told you so.

- Told me so what?

Well, I told you

you like killing.

And now the cops,

they say the same thing.

Jerry.

Jerry.

Jerry.

What are they saying

about you, love?

- That I'm a killer.

- Take me out.

Let's talk about it.

What if I am?

- Serial killer?

- Yeah.

Well, is it something

that you are...

like being brown-eyed

or right-handed...

or is it something

that you choose,

like being an accountant?

I wish I knew.

You can still make

the choice, Jerry.

You're still a good man.

Well, I try to be a good man.

I wanna be a good man.

- Then there's the cat.

- F*** you, blaming it on me.

Hold... hold...

hold on a second.

Look, I know what is good.

I know.

I- I wanna lead

a righteous and just life.

I wanna be an upstanding

member of the community.

But, I mean, you know, Mr. Whiskers,

he makes me do bad things.

The cat was nowhere near

when you killed me, Jerry.

See? See?

Thank you, lady-head.

Okay, first of all, not true.

Second of all, I know

right from wrong, okay?

I know it.

I try to be good.

But then certain...

horrible things happen

and I'm filled with...

with terror and dread,

standing outside of myself.

Even though I know

what I've done,

I also feel like...

like it wasn't me.

Pretty complicated

inside the human mind, huh?

It was you

that killed me, Jerry.

- You.

- Okay, that's true,

but in a certain sense,

it wasn't me.

It was, uh...

- You gonna say it was me?

- No, I wasn't gonna say that.

- Oh, oh, all right.

- Devil's ad-vo-cat.

Let's say it was me...

but, you know that

I'm a talking cat.

There's no such thing.

Everything I say is really you.

It's true, buddy.

It's all you.

- What?

- Come on, Jer.

You know that.

Your pets are spot-on,

Jerry.

I kind of suspected that.

But if there's me,

the regular me, standing here,

the me who's talking now,

and... and...

and I wanna be good...

then there's you, you, and you

trying to make me be

something else.

Am I good?

No. You're bad.

She's wrong.

You're a good boy.

They're both wrong.

You are what you are.

That's it.

I am...

Someone's here! Intruder! Intruder!

- Bosco, Bosco.

I got your back, Jerry.

I got your back, Jerry.

- I got your back Jerry.

- Stay. Stay. Stay. Stay.

Just a second.

Just trying to put my dog away.

Hey, Jerry,

is that my new friend?

Oh, Jerry, I just need

a whiff of her butt.

- Jerry.

- Shh.

Oh, Jerry!

- Hey, Lisa.

- Hi, Jerry.

Um, surprise.

Sorry.

No, I'm... I'm... I'm...

I'm so glad that you came.

No, no. I'm imposing.

I can tell.

- Oh. You look beautiful.

- Thank you.

Um, I brought you some cakes.

You're amazing.

Thank you for this.

There's four of them.

Sorry, if...

do you have company?

Or am I interrupting?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Yeah... I... it's just that

what you heard is, um...

that I... sometimes

I talk to my pets.

- A lot of the time.

- No, me, too.

All the time.

And they sometimes

talk to me sometimes.

- I get that.

- Yeah?

- Thank you for the cake.

- Are you locked out?

Uh, it's okay.

I'll figure out

how to get in somehow.

You don't need to stay around.

And how are you gonna get in?

There's a skylight.

I can totally get in

through the skylight.

Really?

You know, I... I'm pretty

good at getting in places.

I lose my keys

all the time, so...

I'm gonna use the skylight.

Oh.

Jerry?

You okay?

Um, fine!

How are you?

Fine.

Jerry, I'm... um...

Jerry, I'm gonna

just... okay.

Okay.

Bye, Lisa!

Thanks for stopping by.

Jerry, I got it open.

Ooh! Hey.

Hey, buddy.

Oh.

Hey, Jerry?

Jerry!

Uh... come on.

Come on.

No, no, no.

I don't wanna play.

Come on.

Come on, come on,

come on, come on.

Okay, good boy.

Good boy.

Lisa.

I- I told you I was gonna

go through the skylight.

Jerry, I'm sorry.

- Why... why would you...

- I apologize.

Go through the door like that?

I'm sorry, it's my fault.

- I'm just gonna go home.

- No, no, no, no.

Please, please. Please, please stay.

It's okay, it's okay.

She... she's the best thing

that ever happened to me.

She's the best.

Jerry, who are you talking to?

No, no.

Wait, wait.

No!

No! No! No!

- Jerry, I'm just gonna go.

- No, I'm not gonna...

I'm not gonna hurt her.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

I'm not...

I'm not gonna hurt you.

It's fine.

It's fine.

It's...

- They're really gonna hate me.

- No...

No, no, Lisa. Wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Lisa. Hey.

Lisa, plea... please.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, okay?

Please, open the door.

No!

No!

Lisa, come on!

She won't...

Ow!

Lisa.

Ow.

Lisa?

I'm... I'm gonna

come in now, okay?

I am so, so sorry.

Jerry, I won't tell anyone.

I... I wish that you

didn't have to see that.

I just wish

that we could go back

to the beginning, you know?

We can.

We can.

I'm really sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I got scared earlier.

I know.

That was scary.

I didn't...

I didn't mean to...

to scare you.

It's okay.

I'm fine now.

I know, I know.

I know.

You hit me so hard.

No, it's okay.

Oh, are you okay?

Oh, God, I don't know

how that happened.

- I'm so sorry.

- Jerry...

I- I wanna go home.

Jerry.

It's okay.

It's okay.

I know you're suffering.

I'm gonna help you.

Shite.

You did what you

had to do, Jerry.

Figure it out in the morning.

Meow.

Oh, it's okay, buddy.

Everything's...

Everything's gonna be okay.

You're a good boy.

Woof.

Woof.

What?

You want a piece, huh?

Wha... huh?

What?

Want some of this?

Hah!

What?

Our Father, Who art in heaven,

hallowed be Thy name,

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

Make Jerry and Mr. Whiskers

and Bosco good boys.

Amen.

Hey, Lisa, sweetie,

maybe give me a call

or a text when you get this?

Hope you're okay.

I can't reach her, either.

Are you guys watching the video of

the baby peeing on the senator?

No email, no Facebook updates.

She was going out with that Jerry

guy from Packing and Shipping.

- I can't reach him, either.

- Jerry the pizza guy?

- God he's weird.

- You've heard the rumors, right?

No.

Go to the "Tri State

Herald" website.

July 9th, 1997.

Front page.

Oh.

Intruder! Intruder!

I'll take the bullet

for you, Jerry.

I'll take

the bullet for you, Jerry.

- Oh, oh!

- Don't pee yourself.

It's not the dog catcher,

unfortunately.

Shh.

What do we do?

Oh, Jerry.

I got an idea.

Hi, Jerry.

Hi, Alison.

- Hey, Jerry?

- Yeah?

You remember last week

when, uh... when you...

when you said

there was an invisible line

that separates good from evil,

and you thought

you'd crossed it.

And I said, "No, no, no, no.

You're a good boy"?

Yeah, I remember.

So what?

I've changed my opinion.

So you think I'm evil, Bosco?

I'm certain of it.

Welcome to my world, Jerry.

I don't wanna be
