[As Mrs. Kent] I just love

your big, meaty hands!

Is that what she sounds like?

[Normal voice] I don't know.

I feel like

she would be like, "Ooh!"

I feel like her laugh

is like a "hoo."

Like a "hoo-hoo-hoo hoo hoo!"

[Chuckles]

[Door opens, closes]

[Engine starts]

[Engine starts]

Hi.

[Indistinct conversations]

Keep in touch

with the fire station,

I don't want a bunch of those

"heroes" forming a mob.

- Sheriff, uh, you got a minute?

- Make it quick, son.

Look, I know that

you don't like them,

but Sadie and McKayla have found

some really good patterns...

Not this again.

Can you at least

take a look at it?

Because of their bullshit,

I'm working 'round the clock

to keep this town

from going crazy.

Go home.

Can we talk?

[Indistinct conversations]

[Police radio chatter]

Okay, look, I've been

editing their blog

for a couple weeks now,

and I feel like,

if you just took a look

at it once, then...

Jordan, I think about

your mom every day.

But this is not the same.

Finding this guy

does not bring her back.

And you running around,

spreading lies

with that Cunningham girl

does not honor her memory.

Understand?

I just want you

to listen to me.

[Knock on door]

We're not done here.

[Door opens]

[Speaking indistinctly]

[Indistinct conversations]

[Soft, dramatic music plays]

Dude, finish strong!

Finish strong! One more!

- [Grunting]

- Yeah!

Whoo! Good job, boy!

- Aw.

- Yeah!

Come on.

[Both grunt]

Damn, you've been really

working out, huh?

Good job, good job, man.

You're good to cut the lights

and lock the door

when I get out, right?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- All right, cool.

Let me get ya,

let me get ya.

[Grunts] All right.

Thanks, Drew.

No problem.

Whoo, Big Al!

[Sighs]

Perfect.

Okay, so remember

the safe word is "torso."

Dude, I know. You told me

like a million times.

Oof.

Oof.

[Sighing]

Nice one!

But you should use

the other mirror.

It's got, like,

way better lighting.

Hey, um, I think

they're closed.

Yeah, I know, I just saw

what's-his-name

and he was like,

"You can get in a quick 30."

Pump some iron,

as long as I've got

this big strong muscle-y Al

to take care of me!

Yeah, well,

I'm just finishing up, so...

Yeah, no, that's fine.

I'm just gonna, um,

I'm just gonna do

a couple, like, sets.

You know what I mean?

Like, for my body.

I've never seen you

in here before.

You know what, I was thinking,

like, the same thing.

I was like, "Wow,

it's weird," right?

Like, I'm here all the time.

I mean, like, so are you,

obviously.

Oh, I'm such a klutz.

Oh, hey,

don't worry about that.

No, no, no,

let me refill it for you.

No, really,

I'm about to leave...

I insist.

[Sighs]

[Clears throat]

Big bottle.

[Laughs]

[Beep]

[Beep]

Sh*t.

Here you go.

Thank you.

You didn't have to do that.

Yeah.

Um, so, do you have any,

I don't know, like, tips...

for a girl who's trying to...

tighten?

Tighten up.

Well, for your build,

you might want to start

with more free weights.

Free weights. Cool.

Yeah, no, good. Good idea. Ooh.

- [Laughs] How about that?

- Hmm.

Mmm. Water. Mmm.

Ah! So refreshing. Mmm.

Mmm.

[Coughing]

- You okay?

- [Continues coughing]

Yeah, no, I'm fine.

Someone's here.

- I didn't hear anything.

- I did.

- Maybe we should hydrate. Oh.

- Stay here.

Do you want to

take this with you?

Somebody back here?

[Door creaks]

[Whispering]

What are you doing?

Sorry about that.

Can't be too careful,

especially with a nut-job

on the loose.

- No worries.

- [Sighs]

So, you want me to spot you?

[Moans]

What the hell?

Dude! I said I got this!

Sorry! Torso! Torso!

Ugh!

- Call the police!

- [Grunts]

[Dramatic music plays]

You b*tches crazy!

[Singing indistinctly]

[Both grunting]

[Gasping]

[Music softens]

- Put them in a trance

- [Screams]

[Music stops]

[Clatter]

Well, at least this won't

look like an accident.

Dude.

I totally had it.

He drank the water

and everything.

Jordan's on his way to my

house, like, right now.

- We need to go.

- Okay, fine,

but you're not hearing

the last of this, okay?

I've got a lot

to talk to you about.

You always have a lot

to talk to me about.

I've got notes, girl.

I've got notes.

[Engine revs]

[Loud music plays

on radio]

[Engine shuts off,

music stops]

[Dog barking in distance]

[Crickets chirping]

Hey J. What's up?

My dad left his work

computer logged in,

so I copied the police reports,

crime-scene photos,

and documents

from all six murders.

- This is amazing.

- Yeah. It's, uh, super-illegal.

So...

You did this for me?

- Your dad would, like, freak out.

- Don't worry about him.

Look, I know

telling you to let it go

only seems to spur you on...

so, uh, f*** it.

I'm all in.

[Soft music plays]

You're such a good friend, J.

Whoa, look at that

splatter pattern.

- Yeah. That's...

- How awesome is that?

Yeah. It's really...

It's really great.

- That's crazy.

- We can...

We can turn this off anytime.

Anytime we want, really.

I like them.

[Dramatic music plays]

[Cellphone ringing,

vibrating]

[Knock on door]

[Clears throat]

Come in.

Hey, sunshine.

Oh, you shouldn't have

let me sleep in.

- I have to be ready for school.

- [Sighs]

School's canceled today, hon.

Look, I don't know

how to say this,

so I'm just gonna say it.

There's been another murder.

What?!

[Theme music plays]

The body of

decorated firefighter

Albert "Big Al" Hill

was discovered

earlier this morning

by his longtime trainer.

Your friend of 20 years

found brutally murdered

in the one place that you

were supposed to feel safe.

Will you ever look

at the gym the same?

There's a hole in my heart

where Al used to live.

- Honey?

- Yeah.

- Another murder! Town meeting.

- Okay.

We have to find a way

to remember Al.

We have to find a way

to remember Al!

We at Channel 5 remember Al,

and we are asking you,

if we don't start yielding

to the warning signs

of our local hero,

who will be next?

Back to you.

He had gotten so strong.

So strong.

Are we still live?

You know, Big Al was

the toughest S.O.B. I ever met.

Cracked my tooth once

playing handball.

- Steven...

- I'm just saying,

the guy was kind of a hot head.

Really surprised they

made him fire marshal.

Well, there's an emergency

town-hall meeting

this afternoon.

Now, baby,

you don't have to go

if you don't want to.

I, um, I'm still trying

to process this.

But I think I'll be there.

McKayla, I do not want you out

by yourself at night anymore.

It's too dangerous.

But I still have

Prom Committee.

I won't go

anywhere without Sadie.

We'll keep each other safe.

Please?

But I want

regular text updates.

Yes.

That's my girl.

Waffle me.

- Thank you, baby.

- [Laughs]

[Bell tolls]

[Indistinct conversations]

Please, please.

Can I have your attention?

Our town, our community,

our entire way of life

is under attack.

We will overcome this,

but we must have faith.

We must have patience
