Toolbox Murders Page #2

- Good night.

Hi, Julia.

Hello, Ned.

You've lost

a lot of weight.

Fifty-seven pounds.

I think you look pretty at any size.

Thanks.

Stop it! Stop it!

I told you, get out.

Get out!

What, what the f***

is that?.

What the f*** is that?.

Stop it. Get out.

Ma'am, just stay

right there.

Get the f*** out!

Shut up and die, motherf***er!

- Police!

- Freeze!

What's goin' on here?.

Byron's helping me

run lines.

I have a callback.

Look. "Sweet Jesus,

what the f*** is that?.

- What the f*** is that??"

- "Shut up and bleed, motherf***er."

Mrs. Barrow,

need you to take

a look at this.

They were rehearsing.

Dude, this part is mine.

I am so sorry.

I really thought something

awful was happening.

That's okay. You were just being

a good neighbor. Break a leg.

- So these guys were acting.

- Yeah, they were actors.

How can you laugh at that?.

I can't believe you.

Sweetie, I'm laughing

with you.

Am I laughing?.

I don't think so!

We have to shell out

That's a great story.

In two days, you'll be

calling your whole family.

Nell, I'm sorry, hon.

No, it's all right.

It's okay, it's okay.

Jesus, these walls are cardboard.

Yep, that is what I'm talking about.

It has been like that all night.

You know,

what I'm gonna do is,

I'm gonna put up

some acoustic tiles,

some baffling here.

Oh, leave 'em alone.

They're finally making up.

Oh, God!

Hey, honey, you wanna call

the cops, or should l?.

Steven!

They aren't...

Yeah, they are.

Perhaps a family

that lived here long ago.

Maybe this is the way

they handled

the tooth fairy.

Those are not children's teeth.

They have gold fillings.

The roots are still attached to them

like they were wrenched out!

Honey, no visuals.

Well, the building's been

here since the '20s

so I'd say from the look

of the box,

that it's been here

a long time.

A lot of black magic

uses various body parts.

The ancient Saxons built

whole temples out of bones.

Ned, go take care of the damage

in the Burrow's apartment.

- And dispose of the teeth.

- Yes, sir.

You said these renovations

would be a minor inconvenience.

They're not even happening,

yet we're living in a madhouse!

I need rest, and Nell shouldn't have to put up

with all this.

Folks, I'm unsettled, too.

Teeth in the wall equals weird,

no question about it.

It's just part of the building's

charm and character.

There's a lot of history here,

and you're part of it.

And by the way,

if you break your lease,

you lose

your security deposit.

- We'll be okay without it.

- I don't think so.

This move set us back.

Steven, it just feels

wrong here.

I can't get another day off

to move, all right?.

We'll have to wait till the end of this rotation.

Not now.

I'll be back as soon

as I can, all right?.

We'll figure this out.

I promise.

Hi, Julia.

No. Wait a second.

Come on.

The government

seems so surreal

When sun and heat

is all I feel

It's a surrealistic summer

A surrealistic summer

As I sit here

slowly waiting

It's a surrealistic summer

Surrealistic summer

As I sit here

slowing waiting

I feel just like

a Dali painting

Oh, come on!

Thank you.

Who the f*** are you?.

My boyfriend's gonna be back

any minute. Get outta here!

Stay the f*** away from me,

you crazy f***!

Help me! Somebody

help me! Please!

Please help me!

Please help me!

Let me go! Help me!

Oh, God!

She was screaming

and crying.

Please just check it out.

- She another actress, ma'am?.

- I would not call you if I didn't...

Her boyfriend could've

beaten her or worse.

Saffron?. You home?.

Ma'am, I know you mean well.

But this is your second call

in two days.

She and her boyfriend had

a horrible fight the other day.

They always do.

If you have a noise complaint,

I'll take care of it.

You would just tell me it was

part of the building's charm.

This guy is running a rat hole.

Look around you.

Historic building!

Thank you very much!

Enough! Both of you.

Sir, we're already here so just let us check out

the room, okay?.

- Fine.

- Open it up.

- Ned, open the door.

- Yes, sir. Right away.

- Police!

- Saffron, it's Byron. Are you okay?. Hello!

Stay here please, gentlemen.

It looks like

it usually does.

Saffron?.

Just like I told you, ma'am.

Nothing's going on here.

You didn't check the closets,

under the bed.

Are you trying to tell me

how to do my job?.

Nothing happened here.

You should come to bed.

No. Not her.

She probably spent the night

at her boyfriend's.

Will you please, please come to bed?.

I'm on call in four hours.

I'm sure she's fine.

You're right.

I'm sure it's nothing.

Come on.

Are you comin'?.

Luis?.

Ned?.

Is there a problem?.

No.

I'm fine.

Excuse me.

My name is Nell Barrow.

I'm Saffron's new neighbor.

I was just wondering.

Is she okay?.

- I thought I heard something.

- F***ing?.

No, a scream like.

She likes to hurt, too.

See, the thing is, is that

we went up to check on her,

and she wasn't there.

- Did you see--

- Lady.

What do you care whether she's in or not

unless you're f***ing her, too.

No! I just thought

she might be hurt.

Hurt?. Excuse me, hurt because she's making

lots of noise?.

No, It's nothing. I thought

I heard her scream.

Did the f***ing b*tch go

to Ojai with Kevin?.

I'll tell you what,

neighbor lady,

if you see

Miss Dirty Legs again,

you tell her

that I am f***ing outta here.

Hey, great taste

in shoes.

Hey, you, too.

How far did you run?.

Five miles I think.

Me, too.

- Julia.

- I'm Nell.

- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

Hey, come to the patio.

Okay.

Are you kidding me?.

I haven't missed a day

of running in 14 months.

- I used to be enormous.

- I can't even imagine that.

- You look amazing!

- Thanks.

- You gotta show me these trails.

- Yeah.

- How 'bout tomorrow morning at 8..00?.

- That's great.

There's a great farmer's market

on Sunday mornings.

And a lot of good bookstores

a few blocks over.

Really?.

Gotta check 'em out.

Steven, of course,

is at the hospital all the time.

He's even at

the hospital today.

That's no fun.

You know,

he's a young doctor.

It's part of the deal.

But with moving thrown

in the mix, and this awful building.

I know.

Did you like... Providence?.

My dad died

three weeks ago.

Oh, God.

- I am so sorry.

- No, I'm sorry.

I opened my mouth and this came out.

I didn't-- l--

- I didn't mean to ruin our conversation.

- No, you didn't ruin anything.

Yes, I did. It just popped out. It's--

It's huge.

You lost the first man

you ever loved.

Yeah.

That's it.

That's it exactly.

What do you say that you and l

go find a place to get a piece of cake?.

Let's go.

Chocolate.

Luis, it's Julia.

I'm having a problem

with my bedroom door.

- Austin!

- Hey, Mom.

- My doorknob came off.

- I'll send Ned up.

You know what?.

I think I can do it myself.

I'll call back if I need to.

Thanks.

- No problem.

- Over and out.

Help! Help! Help!

Help! No!
