Women Who Kill Page #4

Synopsis: Commitment phobic Morgan and her ex-girlfriend Jean are locally famous true crime podcasters obsessed with female serial killers. There's a chance they may still have feelings for each other, but co-dependence takes a back seat when Morgan meets the mysterious Simone during her Food Coop shift. Blinded by infatuation, Morgan quickly signs up for the relationship, ignoring warnings from friends that her new love interest is practically a stranger. When Jean shows Morgan proof that Simone may not be who she says she is, Morgan accuses Jean of trying to ruin the best thing that's ever happened to her. But as she and Simone move into commitment territory, Morgan starts to notice red flags -- maybe Jean was right and Simone isn't as perfect as Morgan's made her out to be. Morgan and Jean investigate Simone as if she were a subject of their podcast, they uncover disturbing clues -- a death at the Food Coop, a missing friend, a murder weapon -- leading them to suspect her not only of mystery,

the last time you saw her?

She was 15 when I was arrested.

She never came to visit?

Why?

Why would she?

I just hope she's out

there somewhere listening

and that she knows her mother

loves her and always will,

no matter what.

Allison Walker's a common name.

Have you noticed

anything strange about her

besides her personality?

No, not really.

I mean, she's private.

She's not like you.

I'm private.

No, you're not.

You like to talk and

share and pick apart

things until they don't exist.

Simone doesn't need to do that.

I don't need to.

Yes, you do.

That's why we didn't work out.

We shared too much.

There's a lot of things

about me you don't know.

Oh, really?

Like what?

Like my dad once said

that he wished I'd never...

Been born.

I know that.

She's not a murderer.

I'm not saying she is.

I'm just saying I think

you should stay here

until we're sure she isn't.

I'm moving in with her.

Morgan, Jesus.

- What?

It's different this time.

Yeah, like maybe you're

falling for the daughter

of a serial killer, at best.

Oh, well, I'd rather

be with somebody

that scares me to

death than somebody

that bores me to death.

Oh, Ok.

Fine.

Go ahead.

Move in with her and

get married and have

a family that she can stab

in the middle of the night.

That's a really f***ed up way

of saying you miss me, Jean.

It's not just that I miss you.

I am worried that your

life is in danger.

I'm not in danger, Ok?

I'm just in love.

Oh, my god.

You're such a girl.

You're such a man.

That's hurtful.

Dude, what's wrong

with you tonight.

You're cagey and sh*t.

These all Alex's?

Yeah.

I was awful at sports.

What were you good at?

School.

Mm.

I was never good at school.

What were you good at?

Murder.

What?

Shh.

Jean thinks that Simone could

be the daughter of a murdered.

Dude.

I know.

But don't you think Jean's

just being controlling.

I told you that

b*tch had secrets.

She doesn't.

She's just mysterious.

You know, mystery is

a high-dollar secret, dude.

Mystery keeps

relationships alive.

Hm.

How would you know what

keeps relationships alive?

Do you want to

see Alex as a baby?

Uh...

She's adorable.

11 pounds.

The doctor said she split

her mother wide open.

Wow.

Alex thinks that's

why her mother

doesn't like her anymore.

This is her first softball team.

That's Brenda Bayhart.

Has she told you

about Brenda Bayhart?

Wine?

- Oh I don't...

I don't drink.

Brenda Bayhart called

Alex a c*nt licker.

And so Alex knocked her

two front teeth out.

Mm.

And the teeth had

just come in, so, you know,

permanent damage.

Funny, I'd peg

Alex as a pushover.

Well, she is.

But she's knocked a

lot of teeth out too.

She's from Florida.

Mm.

Lot of serial killers there.

Mm.

You're into all that too, huh?

Jean isn't being controlling.

She's just looking out for you.

And you don't know

anything about that girl.

I know enough.

Why do I have to

know everything?

Can you name one thing

you think is wrong with her?

You mean besides the mom issue?

Yeah, like an imperfection.

Dude, anything.

I'm thinking.

I'll go first.

Kim has dandruff.

- Gross.

I do not need to know that.

Come on.

We're all disgusting people.

Kim's just the least

disgusting person I know.

Simone is not

disgusting at all, Ok?

What about when

she takes a dump?

Shh.

Let's just stop it.

Jesus.

Oh, this is Alex

taking her first...

Why did you quit drinking?

Um, it just got out of hand.

I'd like to see that.

No, you wouldn't.

Why?

Did you hurt someone

or something?

No.

No, I didn't.

You did.

I didn't hurt anyone.

I killed them.

What?

I'm teasing you.

I quit drinking because I got

tired of waking up in my vomit.

I think you and

Jean are being paranoid.

But if that pretty b*tch

does anything to hurt you,

I'm more than happy to

unleash my inner Wuornos, Ok?

Ok.

But can you stop

calling her a b*tch?

Who?

Simone, I did stand up for you.

I'm tired.

Simone.

Simone?

Simone?

You don't want to do

that in the bathroom?

This is where I do it.

But your clippings

are all over the bed.

Oh.

Oh.

You don't have to do that now.

No, you're right.

So disgusting.

Hey, you Ok?

What are you doing?

That smarts.

Simone, stop.

Simone, stop.

Stop it.

What am I doing wrong?

Morgan, Jesus.

Didn't you get my texts?

Yeah, I mean, I was...

The night that

grace was murdered,

Simone set off the fire alarm

because she was burning this.

It's what left of

a passport photo,

like from an old co-op file

before we used web cams.

So wait.

Now, you think

Simone killed grace.

I think that grace found

out that Simone was Allison.

And then Simone got rid of her.

And I think if she killed

one person, who's to say

she hasn't killed six more.

You think Simone

is "the clipper?"

I think it's possible.

But Josephine confessed.

They never found

a murder weapon.

Maybe Josephine's just

protecting her daughter.

Moms do that.

I mean, mine didn't, but...

Why are you suddenly so

convinced about all this?

Why are you suddenly not?

I thought she was

the love of your life.

She is.

I mean, I don't know.

I've been noticing

things about her lately.

Tonight I saw a

different side of her

and I've been feeling

sick ever since.

Was it a vulnerable side?

What do you mean?

You get sick to your

stomach when people are needy.

I also get sick to my stomach

when I fear for my life.

Morgan, Simone

didn't kill grace.

Jean.

I called Matt.

Crime blogger Matt?

There was a suicide note posted

to the childcare bulletin board.

Simone could have written that.

Grace had a history

of depression.

It wasn't the first

time she tried.

So you don't think

she's a murderer.

I don't know.

I mean, probably not.

Why would you put

me through this?

It wasn't on purpose.

It was just...

I was afraid.

Afraid of what?

Of losing...

Sh*t.

So, so... I'm so sorry.

I just... I had to flush.

What were you doing?

What is he doing in my bathroom?

Oh, hi.

I'm Jackson.

Morgan.

Oh.

Oh, that's...

Mhm.

Yeah.

Ok.

Hey, do you... do

you guys want tea?

I can make us tea.

I'll make us tea.

It's my tea kettle

no sh*t?

Well, you know, it's a

really nice tea kettle.

No, I just...

I mean it's mine.

Yeah, Jackson, that'd be great.

Tea would be... be nice.

Ok.

You know what?

This was a bad idea.

- Morgan.

I shouldn't have even come here.

- No, don't.

- Nice to meet you, Jackson.

Don't.

So no tea?

Oh.

Hi.

Hey.

Where did you go?

Just for a walk.

You didn't go to Jean's?

No.

Why?

Sh*t.

Let's go, ladies.

Round of shots.

I'm getting married.

Woo!

Alex, Alex,

Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex.

Woo!

Woo!

Oh, wow.

Oh, it's so much

softer than mine.

The good thing about

the flash Gordon series

is that if you wear

eyeglasses, they don't get

foggy during heavy breathing.

Oh, Alex doesn't

wear eye glasses,

but that's really good to know.

Oh, wow.

Thank you guys so much.

This is really sweet.
