What's out there?
Out in the great beyond?
And what's beyond that?
What's beyond "beyond"?
The answer is,
I don't know.
And quite frankly,
I don't want to know.
Because what I do know is that they
don't holds candle to the greatest town...
in the greatest country
an the greatest planet...
in the whole universe.
Glen vie w, Ohio...
USA, Earth.
Here in Glen view, we value diversity.
I, myself, am friends
with an Indian man named Clyde...
and Mrs. Kim,
a wonderful widow from Korea.
Hey, Mrs. Kim. Spray me!
Spray me, neighbor.
Whoo!
Sun shower.
Fun shower.
I don't have any black friends yet,
but lam an the market.
- My name's Evan Trautwig.
- Oh, Ed Bosani.
Every day, {ask not
what Glen view can do for me...
but what can I do for Glen view.
Jared, your glutes are tighter
than a snare drum.
That's why I founded the running club...
the Spanish table
at the community center.
And created the position
of Deputy Secretary at the city council.
All right, next item on the agenda...
stipulates curb height
for wheelchair access...
be no more than six inches in height.
I know this is a hot topic,
so I will defer to the commissioner.
Here, dreams really do come true.
A simple man can start out
as a junior manager at Costco.
And, 12 years later,
with hard work and gumption...
end up the senior manager
at that very same Costco.
I should know,
because that man's name is me.
I don't mean to bust your chops, kid,
but this is total bullshit.
Those rats are as flat
as they ever have been.
I'm sorry.
It really should be working.
Excuse me, sir,
if I might.
The activation button
is right there.
Holy sh*t!
This is incredible.
There's chipmunks
coming out of the TV, Costco!
Look, the whole gang's here.
It's a great set. Full HD.
Hey! Buddy, please,
this is a miracle of technology.
This is incredible.
Where do I pay for this baby?
Justin will load you up.
Go to front-end check out.
You're a beauty. Thank you, switch man.
Turning the switch on.
Turning on a whole new world for me.
Hey, Justin, if we stop by
some free food samples...
I'm not going to be pissed, either.
But you know what?
It's not all about work.
lha ve hada lat of fun...
and form ed friendships
that will last a lifetime.
Hey! There he is.
$0?
There are fifty stars
in the American flag.
The Constitution was created in 1787.
And, I am now an American citizen.
Really!
- Yes.
- Oh!
Antonio, that's great!
I knew it.
Good things happen to good people.
And you are a good man.
And look, boss.
I got a new tattoo to celebrate.
- Wow. That's really fresh, isn't it?
- Yeah.
"Proud to be an American." Good.
Maybe keep it covered, though, because
it's not really Costco policy, okay?
Yes, of course, boss.
I'm proud of you. This is great.
All right, I have to get out of here.
Oh, hey, listen.
If a bag of Bugles
and a six-pack of Coke go missing...
it's on me. You earned it.
Thanks, boss.
Wake up quick
at about noon
Just thought that
{had to be in Compton soon
I gotta get drunk
before the day begins
Before my mother
starts bitching about my friends
A car pulls up
Who can it be?
A fresh El Camino
rolling Kilo G
He rolled down his window
andhe started to say
It's all about making
that G. T.A.
Costco security, motherfuckers!
Yo, man
Yo, man
Yo, man
Get the f*** out
Cruising down the street
in my six-fa '
Jacking the b*tches
Slapping the has
I went to the park
to get the scoop
Knuckleheads out there
Cold, shooting some hoop
'Cause the boys in the hood
are always hard
You come talking that trash
and we 'll pull your card
Oh, yeah.
It's time to come out of the pool,
Denise.
Hey...
What the hell, man!
Sh*t.
Hello?
Mr. Trautwig?
Is that you?
Who's there?
Okay.
Oh.
What the f***?
Listen, they gave me a gun, okay?
And they didn't teach me
to use it properly.
So, you're in a lot of danger.
If you don't just
back the f*** up, okay?
Oh, no!
it's just a baby shower, hon.
I don't know why you're so excited
about going there.
Everything is so great here.
We used to hate New York together.
It was like one of our things.
It is great here, Evan. I love it.
It's just a little boring.
Actually, it's super boring.
I want to get out
and see the world a little bit.
Get some culture, eat some good food.
Go to a few museums.
We have museums here.
I think we're still
a couple of days away.
But when I get back,
I'm going to walk through that door...
and we're going to S-C-R-E-W...
Ooh!
Right on the kitchen floor.
Mmm. I love it when you spell it.
Definitely.
Or we could do it in the bedroom.
Thank you.
Or we could start in the kitchen,
then move up to the bedroom.
- Bye.
- Have fun.
Be safe!
I love you.
What is going on?
Whoa. Sorry, sir, I can't let you in there.
It's okay, I'm the manager.
This is my store.
I'm afraid your store is closed
until further notice.
What are you talking about?
We can't divulge that, sir.
Police policy.
Oh, wait a second, you're the manager.
Do you happen to know the name
of the guy who was working last night?
Yes, Antonio. Antonio Guzman.
Why? Did something happen to him?
Guzman.
Yeah, he's dead.
What?
Are you sure?
Pretty sure.
It looks like your friend
was ripped apart by a wild animal.
Jesus!
We're dealing with
one sick son of a
Took the victim's skin.
Are there... any leads?
Or fingerprints? Or did they...?
Slow down, guy.
We only got here two hours ago.
We strung up this yellow tape,
which took a while.
So, you knew the victim well?
Yeah, he's a friend.
He just became an American citizen.
And that made you angry.
No, it made me happy.
I was happy for him.
Then why did you kill him?
I didn't kill him.
What are you talking about?
Why are you staring at me like that?
Just kidding. Come on,
maybe you can help ID the body.
Back here.
I had you going, though. Man!
The victim
has been identified as Antonia Guzman.
Here '5 what police told us
about the attack.
We will do
the best we can...
but I, for one, would like to put
some of the responsibility...
an the citizens of this town.
There are only eight caps in this town,
and there '5 thousands of you guys.
Not to point fingers or anything, but...
Stay with us for the latest details
an this developing story.
Back to you, Gail.
That's the half, and as the players
march into the locker room...
we're going to be joined
on the field by, um...
Evan Trautwig
Did anyone here cry themselves
to sleep last night?
it's okay. You can laugh.
Laughter is a common expression
of grief.
And yes, I did cry...
because a man was killed yesterday.
But tonight,
my tears have turned to fists.
Because whoever did this is still out there.
Who is this guy?
And we need to stop him
before he strikes again!
Oh, he struck again.
No more murders!
- Shh!
Because our society has rules.
And one of those rules is...
you can't kill someone
and take their skin!
