(dramatic music)
(film reels)
- Oh my God, this stuff smells like ass.
(ominous music)
(coach laughs)
You're gonna wish you
never did that, bitch.
- Relax, freshman.
It's just initiation.
- I'll initiate something all right.
- Oh, yeah?
I'm gonna have you run in
drills until your legs fall off.
- Chill out, coach.
Unless you wanna have a
lawsuit slapped on you
before you can blink your eye.
Don't you know who her dad is?
- Yeah.
Don't you know who my dad is?
- Keep it up, girls.
Both of you are gonna be
running double drills tomorrow.
- You keep it up
and you'll be in the
unemployment line before morning.
- Who are you to talk?
I'm in charge of the drills.
I'm the one that gets-
- Okay, girls, what is going on?
- This bitch has a death wish.
- You wanna say that for the record?
- Enough!
Emily, straighten up.
Or I'm gonna have to
kick you off the team.
I don't want to, but I will.
- Emily didn't do anything.
Ms. Brunswick started it.
- You?
You again.
We've talked about this before.
Enough with this weird
ass initiation grab.
It's creepy.
This is your second strike.
Next time, you're gone.
- Sorry, Emily.
That was against my better judgment.
(ominous music)
- I give her a week.
(girls giggle)
- Did we kill it today or what?
- Are you kidding me?
You guys freaking murdered it.
(girls giggle)
Also, Coach Thompson is
super proud of you too.
- [Emily] Awesome.
- Now, if you could just
stop being little bitches,
that'd be awesome.
- We're gonna meet some friends for pizza.
You should join us.
- Okay.
No, thank you.
I have too much to do,
but you guys were great.
Okay? Go, go.
- [Emily] We'll see
you in class on Monday.
- Try to...
Try to be good, if that's possible.
(Angela sighs)
Oh.
That's so messy.
(ominous music)
Tie game. Final seconds.
Banks is coming in hot.
Banks for the fade away.
Woo!
Woo, woo, woo.
Ah, Angela, you gotta get a life, girl.
Ugh.
Hello!
Girls.
(ominous music)
Shit.
What the fuck is wrong?
(suspenseful music)
Hello!
Hello!
(water splashes)
(suspenseful music)
(door bangs)
(suspenseful music)
Hello?
(water splashes)
(suspenseful music)
Seriously?
I have to do everything around here.
(suspenseful music)
(dramatic music)
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Easy there, slugger.
- Oh my God.
I'm sorry.
I'm so embarrassed, you startled me.
- That makes two of us.
I thought you already left.
- No, I have some things to catch up on.
- Did you ever get that calendar drawn up?
I gotta get it turned
into the board by Monday.
- I did. I did.
It's right here.
Whew.
- You're a peach.
You take it easy and have a good night.
- Oh, you too, sir.
- And lock up before you leave.
I'm not sure if anybody else is here.
- You got it.
- Oh, and Ms. Banks.
- Yes, sir?
- Are you sure you don't wanna
be the new batting coach?
That's an awfully good batting stance.
- You have a good night, sir.
- [Jackson] You too.
(ominous music)
- You sure you don't wanna
come with us for pizza?
- No, sweetie, thank you.
Look at how beautiful you are.
You did so good tonight, okay?
No, go. Have fun.
I'm terribly busy.
- Thank you.
- Be safe.
(ominous music)
Angela, you gotta get a life.
- Hello, Angela.
- [Angela] Mm.
- Just finishing my rounds.
I see your lights on.
Thought I'd come in and check
on you before I headed home.
- All good here, Don.
Have a good night.
(ominous music)
Yes, Don.
- Say.
How about
you go to dinner with me tonight?
- So tempting.
Hmm. No.
(ominous music)
Work is my priority, Don.
- You know, you should have some fun too.
Work is always gonna be your weight.
- Look, I am really sorry,
but I have to finish this itinerary ASAP.
(ominous music)
- I understand, Ms. Banks.
- Great.
- You know if you change your mind-
- I won't.
- You know where to find-
- I do.
- You have a good weekend-
- Bye.
- Stay safe up-
- I will.
(ominous music)
Toodles.
(dramatic music)
I gotta get outta here.
All I fucking do is work.
(suspenseful music)
Great.
Now we have lights.
Fucking shit.
All the time, it's fucking shit.
Oh my God!
Fucking shit!
Fuck, you scared the hell out of me.
- Well, I'm sorry, I
frightened you Ms. Banks.
Everyone else has left.
- Well, the freaking
circuit breaker tripped.
And can you fix this?
Because I'm literally
gonna have a heart attack.
- Cheap material.
(ominous music)
- What?
- They don't make them like they used to.
- Huh?
- The circuit breaker.
I'll look into it.
Meanwhile, maybe you should
get another flashlight.
(ominous music)
- Fucking weirdo.
Hey, Principal Jackson.
Oh my God.
What are you still doing here?
Lunatic.
Working on my batting stance.
(ominous music)
Hello.
Mr. Jackson.
What, are you sleeping?
Hello?
(dramatic music)
(Angela screams)
Oh my fucking God! (screams)
(screams) Fuck!
Oh my God.
Oh my fucking God.
Oh my God, oh my God.
Oh my fucking God.
(suspenseful music)
Oh my fucking God.
(suspenseful music continues)
(Angela screams)

- [Dave] Welcome to the
"Armchair Investigators,"
an award-winning weekly
True Crime podcast.
As our longtime dear listeners know,
every Tuesday, I share
unsolved cases along
with special guests in a way
that'll make you feel like
you're simply sitting around
casually talking about crime
with our dear friends.
Today's feature program subject
is the Austin M. Lohr Psycho.
and our special guest is James Reynolds,
forensic psychology instructor
of Austin M. Lohr High.
Welcome to the show, James.
- [James] Thanks, Dave.
It's an honor to be here.
- [Dave] First of all,
what does forensic psychology entail?
- [James] Forensic psychology
can be perceived as a crossing
between psychology and criminal justice.
At a high school level,
our students learn about
criminal law in the basics
within psychology to conduct
an investigative procedure.
- [Dave] Well, I do understand
that you're instructing a project focused
on the Angela Banks case for
your students this semester?
- [James] Correct?
From several choices,
my students voted to do
a group study of Angela's
and the other possible
related victims cases.
- [Dave] Well, I can
understand their fascination.
Devoted listeners a year
ago, several school employees
and a cheerleader were brutally murdered
and their bodies were
discovered on the campus
the following Monday morning.
I hear no evidence was found, James.
- CSI investigators
found no usable evidence
or DNA on the bodies, the clothing,
or in the area surrounding the victims.
- So question.
How will this assignment work
with so little evidence
for your students to go on?
I mean, professionals
couldn't solve the case.
What do you expect from your kids?
- Oh, they're not totally
not expected to solve it.
It's an exercise to teach them the science
and methods behind crime investigation.
- Well, it definitely sounds very serious
and it sounds very real.
And I do envy them for having
such a devoted instructor as yourself.
We are out of time, unfortunately, James,
but I do appreciate you coming on,
and I would like to know if
you'd like to come back later
and we can see how progress is coming.
- Absolutely.
Be happy to.
- Great. I appreciate that.
Thank you.
- [James] All right, here's the handout
we're going over today.
Take one, pass it back.
Get familiar with it.
- [Announcer] Mr. Lamey, you're
needed at the front office.
(ethereal music)
- He's coming to get you, Hannah.
(students laugh)
- Apparently, Hannah and Ben
have something real important
to share with the rest of us.
Let's hear it.
- My bad, Mr. Reynolds.
I was just messing with her.
- Why don't you try and
mess with me, fuck head?
- [Students] Ooh.
- Sit down.
- [Students] Ooh.
- Now.
Both of you.
Ben, Brandon.
(suspenseful music)
I will not tolerate this infantile
and barbaric behavior in my class.
Ben, you need to take
this class more seriously.
Unless you wanna spend summer here too.
- I think you'd really enjoy that.
(students laugh)
- Enough.
- I apologize, Mr. Reynolds.
Won't happen again.
- I should hope not
if you plan to graduate.
Now, let's get back to where we left off.
Are there any questions?
Yes, Haley.
- All right.
So some dude randomly decides
to murder Angela in a public school
and then gets away with it.
And we're all just
supposed to believe that?
Like evidently, the police
don't know how to do their job
or they would've caught the person by now.
- Have the cops ever been able
to do their jobs correctly?
(students laugh)
- Enough.
(mysterious music)
- It says here on your handout,
nobody saw anything suspicious that night.
(Haley claps)
- Good job, Hannah.
But you don't have to
repeat what's already
on the worksheet.
Duh.
(students laugh)
- That's correct, Hannah.
There were no witnesses.
- Smart girl.
(mysterious music)
- Mr. Reynolds, would you
mind giving us a review
of the other Austin M.
Lohr High murders, please?
- Absolutely.
There were two more victims
over the course of the months.
First,
(suspenseful music)
Lyndsey Crawford,
29 years old, biology
instructor, murdered at home.
(Lyndsey screams)
(water splashes)
Number two, Jennifer
Morgan, 43, history teacher.
Assaulted in her home's bathroom.
(dramatic music)
- Wait, I don't get it.
Are these women like connected?
- Maybe they were a pack of lesbian lovers
who were PMSing
and murdered each other.
- The only link was that
they were all Austin M. Lohr
faculty members.
- Funny that the sarcastic
moron would say that.
- Yes, Brandon, you have
something you wanna ask?
- So, was it like serial
killers or multiple murderers?
And what's the motive?
- I want all of you
to put yourselves in the
mind of the perpetrator.
Think about a rough profile and
maybe come up with a motive.
(bell rings)
(students chatter)
- Little strange.
Little strange.
Okay, I'm leaving.
- [Kim] Okay. All right.
- Hey, looks like we're
all in a group together.
I'm sure Hannah will do most
of the heavy lifting, right?
- I intend to give very
familiar with the killer's mind
and try to crack this
case but you need to help.
No social loafers allowed.
- Dream on, bitch.
Besides, you're the one
always trying to show off
with your fancy words and shit.
There's your chance.
I'm sure you'll do great.
- [Announcer] Attention students and staff
- Chainsaw.
She won't shut the fuck up.
- [Announcer] Make sure to make
those much needed corrections.
Training will be as following.
Field number 15,
decision-specific training
will now be taking place
in field number 29.
- Ready to catch the boogieman?
- Why do you always do that?
- Because you're so serious
and I like to see you
lose your shit a bit.
- You just want me to be like you?
- I see how you've been in class
since we've got the assignment.
All right, Miss Profiler.
Analyze me.
- Okay, well,
you're edgy chewing on
the cap of your pen.
Not a bit concerned if you eat plastic,
wincing whenever the
word "blood" is mentioned
and trying to make everything
seem fun and casual.
I'd say either you have homophobia
or you're the killer trying
not to give yourself away.
- Damn, you really good at that.
You should do that to the others too
when they come over, I invited everyone
and they're on the way
to your place right now.
- What?
You know Christine is
not gonna go for that.
Especially bring boys in the house.
- Like, girl, I'll just tell her
that I invited everyone and that you know
she'll, I thought she'd be home.
Come on, girl.
I know that you have a crush on Ben.
That you have the hots for him.
- Him?
No, he is just a platonic friend.
- Still think he's cute, right?
- I guess.
I don't know why all of a
sudden he's being so talkative
after being so quiet and
weird the past couple years.
- What do you mean by weird?
He's so cute.
- Well, when he first moved here,
he was standoffish.
Super charming
but he's like kind of
in his own little world.
I don't know.
I feel drawn to him.
- Like yeah.
- Almost connected.
- Okay, has he ever talked to
you about anything going on?
- Not really.
It's like he's been having a secret
he's been trying so hard to hide.
But then again, I guess we all do.
(gentle music)
- Damn, your mom brings
home a lot of work.
You ever been through them?
- She prefers I don't.
I respect her privacy.
- Wish my mother trusted me like that.
You two are super close, aren't you?
Even though she's not like your birth mom?
- Christine's the only mother
I've ever really known.
And she was a badass
homicide detective back
in Washington, DC.
Yeah, she graduated top of her class
with a bachelor's in criminal justice
and a master's in public administration.
- Holy shit, look at you being so proud.
How did you two meet?
- I was abandoned as a baby
at St. Elizabeth's
Psychiatric hospital in DC.
- Wow.
Have you ever had any ill feeling
about your biological mother for that?
- No.
I was left healthy and wrapped
in a clean, warm blanket.
I think she must have had
a very important reason
for giving me up and must have loved me.
- Poor thing.
So Christine raised you as a baby.
- I wish.
I was in foster care until I was 16.
That's when I met Christine.
We immediately bonded and
fell in love with each other
and I knew if anyone could
be the mother I needed,
It was her.
And she took me in and we
moved here shortly after that.
- What a story.
My mom though.
Fuck, she can be a nightmare.
- I know.
Don't tell her where you're
going when you're going out
because you're hanging out with
Justin and she despises him.
How do you want her to trust you then?
- They don't get it.
She's not a Christine.
(somber music)
(knock on door)
- Meal delivery.
What's up, girl?
(mysterious music)
- I didn't have a choice.
- Where's Ben?
- "Where's Ben?" she asked.
- You're so full of BS, Justin.
And honestly, I have no idea
what Kim here sees in you.
- Hey gorgeous.
- [Hannah] Hey Brandon.
Do you happen to know where Ben's at?
- That fuck head?
I don't think he'll be showing up today.
- Yeah, we're supposed
to be working as a group.
- And you really think he gives a fuck?
He's a creep.
And besides, you heard Mr. Reynolds,
he'll be lucky to even graduate.
- Come on, guys.
We need to get started on this.
(knocks on door)
Jesus, Kimberly, who else did you invite?
(mysterious music)
Yes, can I help you?
- Kimberly said you would
like to buy some cookies.
- Just one box.
Better make it three though,
because we have some hungry teens to feed.
- Oh, what kind do you want?
We've got caramel, coconut,
milk, chocolate, and peanut butter.
- We'll just take all of them.
You can cover this, right, Hannah?
(mysterious music)
- [Child] Oh wait, you forgot your change.
- You can keep the change.
- [Child] Thank you.
Have a great night.
- You too.
You owe me.
- Shh.
(mysterious music)
- Look, I'm sorry about last night.
I'm sorry I couldn't make it.
Hannah.
- Let go of me.
- I'm sorry, Hannah.
- Look Ben, some of us
care about these projects,
our grades, and our future
and I'm not gonna let you get in the way
of me passing this course.
It's gonna look really good
on my college applications.
- Look, something really
did come up last night.
I promise I'm gonna be there next time.
Just please, let me see your notes.
- I have a biology class to get to.
Ask somebody else in the group.
Kim has cheerleading practice.
I think Haley-
- Chainsawing up the devil again tonight?
- Everyone's ditching me on this project.
They showed up but just
messed around the whole time
and we didn't get much done.
Guess I'm just a little frustrated
I'm having to do everything by myself.
- I'm really sorry, Hannah.
- Okay, here's the deal.
One of the guys has a
basketball game tonight
and the others are busy.
But I can meet up with you
for about an hour and
get you all caught up.
It's my final offer.
Is that where you have to explain
why you're still a senior next year.
- You're right, but I just
gotta go by my house first.
But I can meet you in the
library around five o'clock?
- Sounds good.
(mysterious music)
- Whoa.
Where are you off to in such a rush?
- I have to meet someone
in like 20 minutes.
- And who exactly is this someone?
- From school.
- From school?
Hannah, you know we talked
about focusing on graduating.
You can worry about dating later.
It's not like that at all.
It's from a group psychology project.
He missed the group work.
- You mean from the
clandestine group meeting
you had here yesterday?
- Come on, Christine.
You know me better than that.
- Just listen to me.
I know you're 18 now and I respect that,
but you still have to respect me.
This is my home and
you live under my roof.
- I know.
I'm really sorry for not asking you first.
(mysterious music)
- [Mama] She's stricken you, Benjamin.
- No, mama.
Why do you say that?
She's not.
She's just trying to help me.
We've been close friends
for a really long time.
- Don't be so blind, Benjamin.
She's just like the other girls,
just thinking about herself
and herself alone.
She's evil and she's going
to hurt you in the end.
- No, she's my best friend.
And she's gentle and sweet
and she's just trying to help me.
I promise.
- Don't disobey me, Benjamin.
I've known these women my whole life.
Yeah, they pretend to
be your closest friend
and then they hurt you.
They rip your heart
right out of your chest.
You just remember what happened to mama.
- It's not the same thing.
She's not like that.
She's smart and loving and kind
and she's the only friend I've ever known.
- Don't disrespect me!
How dare you disrespect me.
I said you are not, definitely
not going out to meet her.
I won't have it.
- I gotta leave, mama.
I have to live my own life.
I'll be back later.
- Damn you!
- Your book is overdue.
If you could please bring it back
to the library today, it'd be really nice.
Thank you.
Have a great day.
- [Announcer] Attention students.
Today, there are specials
on the lunch menu.
- Such a dance.
Do you think we're allowed to eat?
- [Announcer] Michaels mighty PB&J.
- I mean, I guess it
depends what's in there,
but I'm gonna eat what I wanna
eat so it doesn't matter.
- [Announcer] And my personal favorite.
Big John Sausage.
(solemn music)
- Hey, I'm sorry I'm a little late.
- You're only three minutes late.
If it had been four minutes,
we would've had a problem.
(solemn music)
- Uh, good one.
- Okay, so in a nutshell,
this is everything we
went over last night.
(solemn music)
(mysterious music)
(mysterious music continues)
- And with a minute to spare.
You always have been responsible.
So how was your big date?
- It wasn't a date, Christine,
as I explained before,
we were just studying together.
- Yeah, yeah, I bet you were.
- It's just really weird, you know?
Like one minute he's all
cool, talkative, whatever.
And then the next, I don't know,
he acts completely different.
- I hate to break it to you
sweetheart, but that's all men.
Why do you think I rarely date these days?
- You really date because you're
too wrapped up in your job.
Your badge dictates your life.
- Probably.
But guess what?
If you're not careful, you
may end up just like me.
- It won't be so bad, I guess.
- How's the project coming along?
So here's the thing, it's a real project,
not even the local police
have been able to solve
so I see it as a challenge.
- This isn't a fail the
class tactic, is it?
I mean, it seems unrealistic
to have students trying
to do the work of seasoned professionals.
- No, he's just trying to see how creative
and analytical our minds can really be
as if we were real detectives.
I think he's quite brilliant.
- Not more brilliant than me, right?
- No one's more brilliant
than you, Christine.
- Okay, I'm gonna go to
bed so I can be the one
who figures out who the real killer is.
It's almost like the answer
is right in front of my face.
Like I'm in a Scooby-Doo
cartoon or something.
Who's behind the mask?
(gentle music)
Night.
- Good night, (indistinct).
- All right, settle.
Let's get back to business.
Hannah, what does your group have so far?
- So based off the information
that I was personally able
to gather, I have determined
it was someone definitely
of the male gender.
- Well, yeah, that's obvious information
because it would take
somebody who was really strong
to be able to overpower
each one from so quickly.
And probably white.
- Wait, but what about that OJ guy?
I mean, he was a psycho
killer and he was Black.
- Yeah, but he was never found guilty
and the glove didn't fit.
Besides, most serial killers were white.
I mean, he had Bundy, Gacy, Dahmer.
- Whatever.
I get it.
Just the arthritis medicine, but whatever.
- Correct.
He wasn't found guilty,
but that doesn't mean he didn't do it.
But regardless, let's
focus on our case here.
Now, obviously, this guy is
pretty intelligent and slick.
Someone no one would expect.
(mysterious music)
Hannah, what else has your group gathered?
- We all think male.
Maybe an outcast.
People like him, but they don't like
to get too close to him.
- [James] Why is that?
- They feel uneasy and
uncomfortable around him.
He may be an only child,
might have an obsessive compulsive order
and some memories might trigger him.
- Holy fuck.
It sounds like she's describing you, Ben.
- (laughs) Fuck you, asshole.
- Oh yeah, fuck me?
You plan on doing something, punk.
(students laugh)
- This ends now.
I've warned you before.
(mysterious music)
This is part of detective work, okay?
Long hours, high profile cases
with a little dark humor thrown in.
You're all gonna have
to develop a thick skin
in this profession.
- Yup, Ben.
Chill out hotter.
- Hey, everyone, I
wanna see your profiles'
rough drafts by tomorrow.
Make sure you have some
reasoning behind your ideas.
Can't just create a baseless profile.
I'm so glad you volunteered
to join me in detention today, Haley.
(Kim and Justin laugh)
- Looking forward to it.
- I'll call your parents
and let them know where you're gonna be.
- [Haley] Awesome.
- Everybody have a good rest of the day.
- Hey, Miller.
- What do you want, Brandon?
- Whoa, is that how you
greet all your friends?
- [Hannah] Are you kidding me right now?
- I'm sorry.
Did I do something wrong?
- You were a jerk, Brandon.
Out of everyone in the school,
I never thought that you
would be so childish.
So what if Ben is a little different?
You don't know anything about him.
- Fucking unbelievable.
- What?
- You totally got the hots
for that loser, don't you?
- Nothing I say, do, think,
or feel is any of your business,
- Hannah.
I mean, you know how I feel about you
and I've always respected that you wanted
to put school first.
I mean, I find it very admirable.
I waited-
- Brandon.
- Just let me finish.
I've been patiently waiting for you.
And for what?
To just sit here every day and
watch you throw your panties
at some loser that
doesn't even acknowledge
your fucking existence?
- Please stop yelling.
- Okay.
Just have a little bit
more respect for yourself.
You're way better than that.
Or so I thought.
- Don't you dare talk to me about respect.
- Oh, by the way,
Hannah Miller, will
you go to prom with me?
- (scoffs) Your dreams, asshole.
- [Announcer] Attention, students.
School campus safety is of key importance.
Stay alert to your surroundings
and people around you.
(ominous music)
- Listen to your mama, Benjamin.
Girls, they're only interested
in what you can do for them.
How you stroke their ego, praising,
and what gifts you give them,
none of them care more than that.
Remember what happened to your mama?
You know what you have to do.
She's just a little whore.
- [Ben] Stop saying that!
She's a good person.
She's my friend.
(knocks on door)
Who's there?
- [Hannah] Ben, it's Hannah.
- Hannah?
What are you doing here?
- I just came to check on you.
Is now a bad time?
- No, come on in.
I was just talking to my mom.
- Oh, I'd love to meet her.
- Oh no, she's not here.
- But-
- I was on the phone with her.
- Oh, okay.
(mysterious music)
I just wanted to check on you.
Brandon thinks he's funny,
but he's really just a jerk.
- Oh yeah.
No, I'm fine.
He is a jerk though.
(gentle music)
- All right, well I guess I better go.
I just wanted to make sure you were okay.
- Oh, no problem.
Thanks for stopping by.
- Yeah, anytime.
(gentle music)
- Knock, knock.
Your majesty is here, the queen.
- I see you're ready
for your hot Saturday
night date with Justin.
- Yup. It's Saturday night.
Why aren't you getting ready
for a party or something?
Please, Hannah, live it up for once.
- You live it up enough for the both of us
so I have to be the responsible one.
- You're a buzzkill is what you are.
- My only party night this semester,
it's gonna be at the senior prom.
- Hmm.
Oh, check this out by the way.
Brandon is now dating Haley.
- What?
- I know.
He's like totally in love
with you for all these years.
You reject him once and he's
over Chainsaw like a rash.
What are you working on anyway?
- I'm working on this case
Mr. Reynolds assigned.
- My god, Hannah. Seriously?
It's some fake ass story he told us
just so that we would come
up with some fairytale case.
You already came up with a profile.
- You mean I came up with a profile.
You screwed around and
made out the whole time.
And it's not a fake case.
Look.
- Do we have to?
- All of the unsolved murder cases related
to Austin M. Lohr high, all female
except for the principal and the janitor.
- Okay?
That's like every serial
killer in the US of A.
Everybody's like a Jane Doe
and they turn up murdered.
Mr. Reynolds went over
that in the handout.
- The killer stabbed his
victims with a hunting knife
and it is really unusual
for a serial killer
to suddenly change their MO.
- Anyways, instead of all that
stuff, let's take a picture.
- What are you doing?
- This is evidence in case my mom
needs to know that I'm
here and she needs proof.
And I told her I was here.
So cover for me, okay?
- Don't I always?
- Yes.
All right, I'm gonna go.
I'm gonna bounce.
Do I look hot?
- Scalding.
- [Kim] Thanks.
I know. Bye.
- Good evening.
My name is Jerry Lamey
and I'm the assistant principal.
As you well know, several faculty members
and a honor role student
of lost their lives
under tragic and mysterious circumstances,
both on and off campus
in the past couple years.
- Can you give us an update
on the current investigation
of these horrible murders?
Are there any suspects yet?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- We need some answers.
(all applauding)
- Well, to answer that question
and others, I've asked our
campus Chief of Security,
Mr. Leonard Vasquez, to please speak.
Chief Vasquez.
- Well, we've been in
constant communication
with a local law enforcement task force
that's assigned to these cases.
And so far, there are no suspects.
(crowd murmur)
Off campus or on campus
for any of these homicides.
- Here's a question for
the assistant principal.
So what security measures have
been implemented to assure
that our children are safe?
- I can assure you that
everything possible is being done
for our students' safety.
- Yes, it takes a tragedy
to make serious changes, doesn't it?
But still, what guarantee do we have
that these murders will
not continue to happen?
Exactly how safe is this school?
- Will you take this question, Chief?
- Absolutely.
Well, I've doubled the patrol on campus
and I've also assigned a female officer
to guard the women facilities.
So rest assured, ma'am, we are prepared
and we will do whatever it takes
to catch this offender,
whomever it may be.
- I found a fan fiction website
and they've been publishing
quite a few posts
about these unsolved cases.
Now the author of these
posts is listed as anonymous.
What steps are being taken
to find out who's
responsible for the website?
- The city police task force,
in cooperation with the FBI, are trying
to trace the identity of this anonymous.
And we're asking the
public to please disregard
any of the probable misinformation
that's being published by this website.
It's both misleading
and disrespectful to any of
the victim's friends or family.
- The senior prom is scheduled
to be happening here in two days.
Will that still be happening
and will it be safe?
- The prom will proceed as scheduled.
We're gonna increase the security.
We're also gonna have parents
and teacher chaperones.
And this year, it's gonna
be a little different.
We need anybody that participates
in this event to come
with a student ID to gain entry.
We're just wanting to ensure
that everybody has a pleasant,
fun, safe time at this event.
- Yeah, yeah.
I like the way it looks.
Man, I really appreciate you volunteering
to help me set up for tomorrow night.
All that's been going on,
these kids deserve a chance
to just enjoy celebrating
with her friends.
- It's gotta be terrible, man.
These kids gotta be traumatized
with all these murders
that's happening around here.
The cops really need to step
up and actually do something.
- Yeah, I don't think the
kids gotta worry too much
with added security
and chaperones are gonna have here,
person has to be a magician
to be able to break
into this place.
So listen, I'm gonna check the breakers.
Why don't you just take yourself a break?
- Sure thing.
(ominous music)
- Oh great.
I'm glad I came in here since we've got
some breakers down already.
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music continues)
- Oh, you wanna go?
(suspenseful music continues)
(police officer grunts)
(knocks on door)
- Oh, hey there, Miss Rachel.
Didn't mean to startle you.
I'm just making my final rounds.
See that your lights are on.
You know it's a little weird
that anyone else is here
this late other than me.
- I know.
I've got a bunch of backed up exams
that I've gotta get done,
so I thought I'd knock them all out.
There was a couple installing mood lights
in the gym earlier, but I
guess they've probably left
for the evening.
- Yeah, they must have.
'Cause I don't see any
other vehicles out there
in the parking lot.
Well, I guess if
everything's in order here,
I'll just head on home.
You know, but I'll stop
at the grocery store first
if there's anything
you need me to pick up.
- No, no, thanks.
I am gonna go ahead and finish this.
You have fun with your grocery shopping.
I'll see you tomorrow.
(suspenseful music)
Don.
Don?
Are you okay?
(ominous music)
(Rachel gasps)
(suspenseful music)
No!
No, no, please, no.
(suspenseful music continues)
No, no, please!
No, no!
No, no!
Please.
(suspenseful music continues)
- [Hannah] You look hot.
- Wow, you look gorgeous too.
Look at how good they
all cleaned up for this.
- Where's Justin?
- Thinks proms and dancing is for losers?
Idiot.
But I'm gonna go see him in
a little bit and I can't wait
for him to see me in this dress.
- Just be careful, you know
there's still a murderer
on the loose.
- I know.
- Welcome, Austin M. Lohr
graduating class of 2024.
(students cheers)
Tonight, it's a celebration
of your storm skies
for you righteous dues
and impeccable dolls.
Graduation is quickly sneaking up upon us
and some of you'll be headed
to college pretty soon.
Others will be stepping
in the whole wild world
to fulfill your personal
dreams and destiny.
Tonight, in tribute to our future
as we all go our separate ways,
we're gonna raise hell
and mercilessly party party!
- All right, grandpa.
Where do they find these DJs?
(upbeat music)
- Care to share that?
- Jesus, Kevin.
My nerves are on edge and
you sneak up on me like that?
- I'm sorry, sir.
I didn't mean to do that.
You really should go back inside and try
and relax and enjoy yourself.
Music helps.
- That kind of music?
I don't think so.
- You know, I would agree.
I'm more of a Sinatra fan myself.
- Students always
complain about you playing
that stuff in the chemistry lab.
The best teacher the school's ever had.
I just tell them they
can use a bit of class.
- Bacardi. Neat.
- How'd you guess that?
- I have an incredibly
sharp sense of smell.
It's an advantage when I
want to charm the ladies
by guessing the kind of
perfume they're wearing.
- Oh, don't worry, I never do this.
I've already handed in
my resignation letter.
This is just a farewell
to my very brief career
as an assistant principal.
- I'd never tell anyone.
You can't be leaving.
I know how hard your job is.
Especially now.
They're gonna catch this killer
and things will be back to normal.
You hang in there, sir.
- Thank you, Kevin.
But I'm at peace with my decision.
I better go.
Oh, by the way,
I'm recommending you for my position.
Not very much better pay,
whole lot more responsibility.
Interested?
- Thank you, sir, but for
me, my lab is the compound.
Plus I wanna continue
driving my students nuts
with a little bit of
help from Mr. Sinatra.
- Thought so.
See you on Monday.
Mr. Lamey.
You be safe.
(upbeat music)
(dramatic music)
- All right, everybody.
Now we got a special guest
coming up next, all right?
So what y'all give it up for Paris Taylor.
(students cheer)
- Hello, everybody.
My name is Paris Taylor and
I'm ready to jam here tonight.
Are you ready to party?
(students cheer)
(indistinct lyrics)
Love as precious (indistinct)
(indistinct lyrics)
Save your work for someone else's
(indistinct lyrics)
A cold shoulder even
colder (indistinct)
Honey let me learn my lesson
You're the walking depredation
Don't waste my time
(indistinct lyrics)
Save your work for someone else's
(indistinct lyrics)
A cold shoulder even
colder (indistinct)
Honey let me learn
(electricity zaps)
- Holy shit, that was loud.
- Is the psycho killer coming to get us?
- Don't be silly.
- The Austin M. Lohr psycho is here!
(students scream)
(students scream)
(suspenseful music)
- I think everything's okay.
- Who would be so stupid
to joke around like that?
- I did not sign up to
work out on prom night.
- Work out of the year.
- Except we ended up with busted feet,
that usually doesn't happen.
- Yeah, you need to fix your
hair before you see Justin.
- Do I have to?
- I guess he's gonna mess it up anyways.
- All right, I'm gonna leave to see him
before he gets too drunk and decides
to come up with some smart idea.
What?
- You need to be careful.
- I know.
Don't worry, girl.
I'll be careful.
I'll come over to see you tomorrow.
(ominous music)
Love you.
(mysterious music)
(dramatic music)
(Justin screams)
- Better not be drunk
off your ass already.
Better leave me some.
Walked all this way for your ass.
Justin!
(suspenseful music)
No, no, Justin.
The fuck (indistinct).
It's okay. (cries)
(dramatic music)
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music continues)
Come at me, motherfucker! (pants)
(suspenseful music)
(Kim screams)
(suspenseful music continues)
Somebody help!
(suspenseful music continues)
Somebody, help me!
Come on!
(suspenseful music continues)
Oh, please.
Oh, please. (sobs)
(suspenseful music continues)
(suspenseful music continues)
(suspenseful music continues)
(suspenseful music continues)
(Kim pants)
(suspenseful music continues)
(Kim screams)
No, no, no, no!
No, please! (screams)
No, no.
No!
(suspenseful music continues)
(Kim gurgles)
(ominous music)
- Hey, good morning,
- Christine,
what do you think makes a person a killer?
- Such a complex question.
This early in the morning.
What do you think the answer is?
- Something tells me there's so much more
to all of this than what the police found.
Everyone thinks that I'm obsessive,
but I feel like I don't know.
Like, the answer's right
in front of my face.
- Hannah, you're going to make
a great investigator someday.
But can I just give you a word of advice?
- Please.
I barely slept last night
thinking about all of this.
- Honey,
this is a career that will eat you alive.
Detectives were driven by a passion
to bring justice to every crime.
And we even go out of our way
to stop crimes from happening.
But it just isn't possible
to solve all of them
no matter how hard we try.
And to survive in this profession,
you can't be obsessive.
- That why I've found you in
the same spot I left you in
since last night?
Not obsessing?
- Touche.
Just can't believe Mr. Lamey was killed.
How is this killer getting
away with all of these murders?
- He had so much security indoors,
they searched everyone
coming in for weapons.
Yet the killer still managed
to find a victim inside and escape.
I mean, we're dealing with
someone extremely smart here.
- And just wish he could have been there.
He would've somehow managed
to find someone suspicious looking.
- Sorry, baby.
I was working another
homicide across town.
(phone rings)
- Hello?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah, I'd love to.
I just...
Yeah, I can meet you in about an hour.
See you then.
- Wait, I still need to
know where you're going.
- I'm gonna the school
library to meet Ben.
- Don't hang out too late.
You know I worry about you.
(mysterious music)
- Attention students, Logan Wheat,
come to the principal's
office immediately.
Logan Wheat, you're needed
at the principal's office immediately.
- We all missed you at
the prom last night.
It was crazy.
- Yeah.
I heard.
I'm sorry.
I don't do well in social events.
(mysterious music)
- So it's really nice here.
Do you come here a lot?
- Yeah, I come here sometimes
just to clear my head, you know?
- Yeah.
- What about you?
Do you have any special
places you like to go to?
- Not really.
Just get lost in my daydreams, I suppose.
- Doesn't sound like a bad place to be.
- So, you lived here for a few years,
but nobody really knows
anything about you.
- Yeah, I mean, I've been kind of a loner
ever since my mother died.
Not much of a people person now, you know?
- I thought you said you were on the phone
with your mom the other day
when I came to your house.
- Oh,
I meant my stepmom.
I was talking about my stepmom.
My real mother passed away
or killed herself
when I was 12 years old.
- Ben, I'm so sorry, I didn't know.
- It's fine.
It's been a long time.
- So it's just you, your
stepmom and your dad now?
- Just me and my pops, actually.
Him and my stepmother are separated now.
- So where is your dad?
I mean, no one ever
really sees him around.
- Yeah, he's not really around much.
He works for a interstate trucking company
and he's on the road all the time.
- May I ask why
did your mom, you know?
- You really ask a lot
of questions, don't you?
- Ben, I'm so sorry.
- That's fine.
Just the little wannabe detective in you.
Right?
- Guess so.
- Well, my turn.
What's your story?
- Well, I'm a foster kid.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I was dragged through the
system until I was 16.
That's when I met Christine
and well, I've been here ever since.
- Well, it kind of makes
us the same, right?
- Well,
I mean, I-
- I mean like, like in a way, like,
we both know what it's
like to lose a parent.
- Yeah.
Ben-
- Listen,
I really like you
and I've liked you for a long time
and I know I've suppressed
myself ever since my mother died
but I think you're really good for me.
And with a little more time,
I believe mama will approve.
(phone vibrates)
- Christine, everything okay?
Well she said she was gonna
come over later today.
Well, has anyone called Justin?
Yeah, I'll be right there.
- Is everything all right?
You look pale.
- Kim never came home
after the prom last night.
She's not answering her phone
and Justin's not answering either.
I'm really sorry, but I have to go.
- Sure.
(mysterious music)
- Wait, let me give you a ride home.
(mysterious music)
Hey, I'm here if you need anything, okay?
Just give me a call.
- I will.
Thank you, Ben.
- We just gotta find her.
- We will.
No one's heard from her yet?
- No, honey.
But the police are doing their
best to try and find her.
- Okay.
I just hope they find her soon.
Hannah, the Bowermans have
some questions for you
just in case you might have
an idea on how to locate Kim.
- Yeah.
Yeah, anything.
(gentle music)
- This isn't like Kimberly.
She's a good girl.
She said she was coming here
with you after the prom.
Did she come here?
- She said she was gonna
but it might've gone to
another friend's house.
She's gotta be nearby then.
(gentle music)
- Hannah?
- She said she was gonna meet
with Justin after the prom.
- Seriously, Hannah?
What kind of friend are you?
You let her run off with that damn loser
and how dare you suggest
that my daughter is some
kind of wild party girl.
- She's been dating him
for over a year, okay?
I've been covering for
her the entire time.
Every sleepover, every late night-
- Hannah.
Calm down, please.
She made me promise not to tell anyone.
- I don't believe you.
I don't believe you.
There's no way that my sweet angel
would ever, ever do such a thing.
Now you tell me where she is
right now, or I swear to God-
- That's enough.
Vincent, I know you're upset,
but don't you dare threaten my daughter.
She told you everything she knows.
- You know what?
Let's just get the hell out of here.
- She's not even yours.
(sullen music)
- [Brandon] Hey Hannah.
Come check this out.
- Oh, I don't think she
liked that very much.
- I think I pressed the wrong button.
- Aw.
- Yo, psycho, where's Kim and Justin at?
- You wanna be next, asshole?
- Oh my God!
- Ooh.
The psycho's making threats.
I'm shivering in me boots.
I'm really scared.
- Just shut up.
- Oh, the psycho's little girlfriend
is coming to his rescue.
That's so cute.
- That's so adorable.
But Hannah, you know, I didn't
know you were that desperate.
Have a little class, Jesus.
- Can't believe you.
All of you just sitting here laughing.
Kim and Justin are missing
and you're just laughing
as though nothing happened.
- Well, maybe you can have loverboy here
fuck your brains out
until you forget about it.
- Oh wait, that's if he
doesn't kill her first.
- Ooh, yeah.
You might wanna be careful.
Unless you're into that, in
which case we don't judge.
- I think she might like that.
Yeah, don't judge like she said.
- Ben, this is Detective
Christine Williams
and Detective Marcus Brown.
And they would like to
talk to you for a moment.
A few questions.
- Ah fucking movie.
He's getting interrogated
by his future mother-in-law. (laughs)
- You know, I wouldn't
lie, be interrogated
by Mr. Marcus Brown.
Excuse me, detective, out of curiosity.
Do you have handcuffs by chance?
- Yes, and I guarantee you
don't wanna be in a situation
where a police officer
has to use them on you.
- [Brandon] Ouch.
- Please come with us, Ben.
- No one's being arrested.
Okay, this is just so we
can gather some information.
- Well, Ben, legally,
you're 18 so they can talk
to you without a parent being present.
But I'll look into hiring an attorney.
(mysterious music)
- [Officer] You have the
right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used
against you in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney.
If you cannot afford a lawyer,
one will be appointed for you.
(speakers speaking indistinctly)
- All right.
Open your books, page 87.
Back at it. Let's go.
(knocks on door)
- Hey, Mr. Reynolds.
- Hannah, what are you doing here?
It's late.
It's after hours.
We didn't have an appointment
scheduled, did we?
(ominous music)
What can I do for you?
- I'm sorry.
I'm just worried about Ben.
Is he okay?
Did they release him?
- Look, I know that you
want to help everyone.
I mean, you have a great
heart, that's why I like you.
But some people, you can't help.
Ben's one of them.
- How can you say that?
He's a good person.
You don't even know him.
- Look, I shouldn't tell you this, okay?
It could cost me my job,
but I've seen his records.
I know his history.
Ben's somebody you shouldn't trust.
(mysterious music)
- How can you say that?
You're a teacher.
You're supposed to help us.
- Hannah.
Hannah, wait.
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music continues)
(James grunts)
(suspenseful music continues)
(James gurgles)
(suspenseful music continues)
- Christine.
- Hannah, don't.
You know I can't discuss
anything with you.
- Okay?
Well, you have to tell me something.
Do they find Kim and Justin yet?
Is Ben okay?
(solemn music)
- Ben's fine.
Still no sign of Kim and Justin.
And honestly, because of our relationship,
I'm surprised they even asked
me to participate in the case.
No, Hannah, no more questions.
(mysterious music)
Come sit.
(mysterious music)
- I am just so worried about them.
And Ben, did they have to do that
in front of the whole class?
- He had no choice.
If Kim and Justin are in danger,
the information we
collect is time sensitive.
It could be life or death for them.
We have to move quickly
and question any suspects
as soon as we identify them.
- So is Ben considered a suspect?
(mysterious music)
- Hannah, if you really
wanna be a detective someday,
these are all things
you're gonna have to learn.
- None of this seems fair.
- Situations like this happen every day.
That's why you have to
become a focused, thorough,
and fair detective.
- I get what you mean.
(mysterious music)
- I'm going to bed.
Okay?
Don't stay up too late.
(mysterious music)
- No.
They seriously think I have
something to do with Kim
and Justin's disappearances, mama.
They got a patrol car
parked across the street
watching my every move.
- Don't be so stupid.
They're just trying to frighten you.
Trying to make a quick arrest.
You don't wanna let mama
down now do you, Benji?
You need to be stronger.
Remember when your daddy tried to tell you
you were a crazy goon?
Remember when you stood up for mama
and defended her?
Now, you need to stand up for yourself.
- Boy, had I raised such a pussy?
You like to taste that
sausage on your lips.
How the hell did I raise someone like you?
I have pussies in this house.
Stop your fucking crying.
You need to learn to be a man.
You don't want to be weak
like your mother was.
You-
Boy, you don't need to do this.
This isn't you, you don't
wanna be without a dad.
(object thuds)
(suspenseful music)
- Don't you see?
They're doing to you what they did to me.
You're a good boy, Benji.
You're such a good boy.
Do what mama says.
I'll defend you.
(suspenseful music)
- Yes, mama.
(phone rings)
- Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay, thanks.
- [Hannah] Everything okay?
- Take a seat, sweetie.
They...
They found Kim and Justin's
bodies at the school
and
your psychology teacher
was also found dead
in his office this morning.
Sorry, baby.
- What?
No!
No, you're lying.
It can't be.
It can't be Kim.
My best friend.
And Justin?
And Mr. Reynolds?
(somber music)
- Baby, I'm so sorry.
(Hannah cries)
(somber music)
- Hannah, sweetie.
Ben's here to see you.
(somber music)
(Hannah cries)
- Ben. (cries)
- I know.
(Hannah cries)
(somber music)
- I just don't understand
who would wanna hurt them, and why.
- I really don't understand either
but I'm sure the cops will figure it out.
Hey, they're gonna get
whoever did this, okay?
(knocks on door)
- Now what the fuck are you doing here?
You know you got some real nerves showing-
- Brandon stop!
- [Brandon] How dare you let
this maniac can see your house.
- He didn't kill anyone.
What is your problem?
- How can you even believe that?
You know, Kim makes some
posts about this loser
to her social media followers
and then all of a sudden,
she and Justin show up dead?
And our teacher, you
know he died for what?
Trying to help him?
He's a fucking psychopath
you can't even see it.
- What is going on?
Brandon.
Brandon, look at me.
You cannot go around accusing
people without proof.
The police are on this case, trust me.
We are going to find whoever did this.
- Yeah, well they better hurry up
'cause someone needs
to be put behind bars.
- Enough! Enough!
Hey!
I can arrest both of you
if you don't listen to me.
Do I make myself clear?
(suspenseful music)
The two of you need to respect the fact
that you lost your friends.
Why don't you calm down
and use some of that negative energy
toward doing something good?
- I'm sorry, I was out of line.
- Look, Hannah's been doing research
on this project on her own.
Sadly, you're gonna need
a substitute teacher,
but you can still finish the project.
I think it'd be a good idea
if you both helped her.
It would be a nice thing
to do for Kim and Justin.
- What do you mean for Kim and Justin?
(mysterious music)
- Go ahead and tell them sweetie.
(mysterious music)
- This may be a total coincidence,
but Kim and Justin weren't
just randomly slain.
They were...
- What?
They were what?
- There's something the
homicide investigators
haven't released the public yet.
About what happened to Kim
and Justin and Mr. Reynolds.
- Do you remember the story
that Mr. Reynolds told us?
About the killer and
how he would stab him,
fed up his victims with a hunting knife?
(suspenseful music)
It appears that they were
killed using the same knife.
- No fucking way!
You mean to tell me that our friends
and Mr. Reynolds was murdered
by the same psycho killer
that off those teachers on
the Austin M. Lohr campus?
You know, maybe he's been
doing this all along.
His true colors just
beginning to show again.
- I'm not the killer, asshole!
- Oh yeah?
Only time will tell.
- Stop it! Just stop it!
(mysterious music)
- You know, she still wants
to be with that psychopath.
At this point, she's
probably helping. (laughs)
Speaking of, look who it is.
Welcome back to the world of the living.
You know, I know you
haven't been around here
in a couple weeks, but
everything's been absolutely crazy.
First of all, our sub is completely fed up
with Brandon and Ben.
And for some reason, everyone's
really worried about you.
Come with me.
- [Haley] No.
Where do? Where?
- Just come with me.
- No.
Look, I know we're not
really friends or anything,
but you've been like totally missing
and people are starting to talk.
I just, I don't really know
where you are mentally right now.
Okay?
- I wanna go to Ben's
old house where he lived
before his parents bought the
new house early last year.
It's vacant and deserted now.
So please just come with me.
- Hannah, I think you need some help.
- Oh no.
Hannah, it's locked.
You know, it's almost like
they don't want sneaking in
to the underground layer
of a serial killer.
How are we ever gonna get in now?
- We could go around, genius.
- Oh, I guess that's a good idea.
Ugh, Jesus.
You know, it smells like
someone died in here.
What if we're next?
What if that psycho maniac
is still hiding here?
- [Hannah] Don't be ridiculous, Haley.
- I mean, is it really that ridiculous?
Meanwhile, can you take
me here, Miss Nancy Drew?
(suspenseful music)
Good job.
So this is the place.
You know how many murders were
probably planned out here?
What if we're next?
Oh my God, are you scared?
- It's really dusty.
- Nice observation.
Here's another one.
I think this place used to
double as an antique shop.
How cool.
(mysterious music)
Hey,
do you think this was Ben?
- Oh yeah, I think so.
17 going on 200.
- Could be a vampire.
(mysterious music)
- That is literally empty, Hannah.
Okay, you are wasting everybody's time.
What the hell are you
hoping to find out here?
(dramatic music)
(Brandon laughs)
- Looks like you two are
the scared of the bitches.
- [Haley] Asshole.
- Save it.
So Hannah, you wanna play detective
and find the psycho killer
who you deduce may have
lived here many years ago
based off of an old photograph?
- [Hannah] Or we could just
get the hell out of here.
- Nah.
Hannah wants to play catch the killer.
So let's play.
I'll head over that way and look.
And you guys just stay
and check out this dump.
- Yeah, so you can sneak out
and then walk us in here?
No way.
And Hannah doesn't have to do anything
she doesn't want to.
And you should probably
just go ahead and get out.
Nobody even invited you here.
- I don't know why he's here.
Do you wanna go to the basement with me?
- No.
No, okay.
This place sucks.
It smells horrible.
It's dusty as hell.
And honestly, I just wanna go.
- Okay, I know you think I'm nuts,
but please, what if there's
something that could lead us
to figuring something out?
- Right.
Something that the
professional investigators
who have searched this place
top to bottom have missed.
Right?
- Please, you don't think that Kim
and Justin deserves some justice?
- I think that Kim and Justin are dead
no matter what we do about it.
It's not gonna change anything, Hannah.
- Fine, I'm going to the basement.
Can you please just look around
and like look for a clue?
Anything that the detectives
might have missed?
- Right, yeah.
Again, I'll just look for things
that the professional
investigators missed.
Oh, hey, do you think this
might have a clue in it?
Should we take it to the police station?
Maybe mail it in anonymously?
- Yeah, why don't you look
at it a little harder?
Maybe a secret message will appear.
Dumb ass.
(mysterious music)
- Well, the teapots clean, so.
What the hell?
- I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, mama.
I miss you, Mama.
I miss you so much.
(ominous music)
I miss you. (sobs)
I miss you so much.
(ominous music)
I'm sorry.
- Ben?
Ben.
Hey, Ben.
Ben. Hey
- Hannah?
What are you doing here?
- What are you doing here?
(object rattles)
(suspenseful music)
- Brandon, what the hell happened?
- Somebody came up
behind me with the knife.
I managed to get a hand knife,
but he still came with the blade.
- Did you see who it was?
- I don't know. All right?
It took me by complete surprise.
He knocked me over and by
the time I got a chance
to get a good look at him, he was gone.
- Well, we have to call the cops.
- Damn it, damn it!
There's not a fucking signal here.
Please, please.
- Was it you Ben?
(ominous music)
- If it was you I swear to fucking God.
- He didn't do it.
- I don't believe it.
How are you defending this fucking psycho?
How many more people does he have to kill
before you see him for where he truly is?
- Brandon, stop it.
- Good idea.
And Hannah, you believe this freak
is so pure and innocent?
Why don't you stay here and babysit him?
Haley and I are gonna go get some help.
(mysterious music)
- Ben, he doesn't know
what he's talking about.
Just ignore him, okay?
- Stop!
I need to clear my head.
(mysterious music)
(mysterious music continues)
(mysterious music continues)
(mysterious music continues)
(suspenseful music)
- Hannah.
Hannah.
Haley is dead.
I know what you're thinking.
I tried to save her.
Hannah, I swear to God, I did not do this.
- Ben.
- [Ben] You have to believe me.
- I did. I believed you.
- I swear to God.
(Hannah pants)
I don't know what happened.
It wasn't me.
You have to understand.
I tried to save.
I tried to save.
(Hannah screams)
(Hannah cries)
(Brandon claps)
- Please, please don't kill me.
- I'm so sorry, Hannah,
but you destroyed me.
But I must admit, I didn't
think you had it in you
to become a cold hearted killer.
You and I we're a lot more
like than you thought.
Huh?
- And you killed all the others?
- (laughs) You bet your ass I did.
And I enjoyed every single second time.
Justin was way too easy.
Getting drunk out of his fucking mind.
Surprise, surprise.
(suspenseful music)
Kimberly, though.
Well, I had to consider
her my first dramatic kill.
You know, she really put up a good fight.
It was beautiful.
(mysterious music)
Delicious even.
And as for that stupid dumbass teacher.
You know, I followed you that evening
and I heard the little
chat that you two had.
That inconsiderate smart ass,
he deserved to die too.
- Why?
- (laughs) Why?
Well, Hannah.
Just 'cause I could.
You know, my entire life,
I've always been the underdog.
Nobody ever paid any attention to Brandon.
Nobody took me seriously.
But I be you take very
seriously right now, aren't you?
- You need professional help, Brandon.
- I saved you for last, Hannah.
Oh my Hannah
You're gonna be my sweetest kill yet.
You refused me all those years
even though you knew how
deeply I felt for you.
But you know what?
I must admit, I had a whole
lot of fun baiting you.
Making it look like the
Austin M. Lohr psycho
just so happened to magically appear
when Mr. Reynolds gave us
that dumb ass assignment.
(Hannah pants)
- What did, what did Mr.
Lamey ever do to you?
- I was angry.
He was the one
who ordered the increased
security for the prom
fucking up my plans.
There was no way I was gonna
get this beaut in there.
(mysterious music)
- Please don't.
Please, please, please.
- It's okay, I promise.
It isn't fair, is it?
Get up, get up, get up.
Get up, get up, get up.
It wasn't fair that you never
noticed your love was used.
Not fair that I had to sit there
all those years watching you
drooling over that asshole Ben,
when I was the one who reserved you most.
- Please.
- Shut the fuck up.
You bitch.
(Hannah cries)
- Oh.
You and I could have been
something so special,
but you just had to go off
and ruin it, didn't you?
- You made me kill Ben.
- No, no.
- Yes, he was innocent.
- No, no one's innocent, Hannah.
We were all born to kill if need be
and you just proved my points.
- I thought Haley was supposed to be dead.
(suspenseful music)
- Join me, Hannah.
Justin is calling.
(suspenseful music)
- Fuck you!
(suspenseful music)
(ethereal music)
(sirens blaring)
(ethereal music continues)
- Yeah, like I don't even
know that Hannah chick, man.
But she survived that massacre, dude.
Now that's some crazy
situational survival skills
right there, man.
- Hannah's a fighter through and through.
Turn from survivor to hero
with Austin M. Lohr Finally put down,
maybe the town of Herbert
Heights can catch its breath.

(film reels)
- Oh my God, this stuff smells like ass.
(ominous music)
(coach laughs)
You're gonna wish you
never did that, bitch.
- Relax, freshman.
It's just initiation.
- I'll initiate something all right.
- Oh, yeah?
I'm gonna have you run in
drills until your legs fall off.
- Chill out, coach.
Unless you wanna have a
lawsuit slapped on you
before you can blink your eye.
Don't you know who her dad is?
- Yeah.
Don't you know who my dad is?
- Keep it up, girls.
Both of you are gonna be
running double drills tomorrow.
- You keep it up
and you'll be in the
unemployment line before morning.
- Who are you to talk?
I'm in charge of the drills.
I'm the one that gets-
- Okay, girls, what is going on?
- This bitch has a death wish.
- You wanna say that for the record?
- Enough!
Emily, straighten up.
Or I'm gonna have to
kick you off the team.
I don't want to, but I will.
- Emily didn't do anything.
Ms. Brunswick started it.
- You?
You again.
We've talked about this before.
Enough with this weird
ass initiation grab.
It's creepy.
This is your second strike.
Next time, you're gone.
- Sorry, Emily.
That was against my better judgment.
(ominous music)
- I give her a week.
(girls giggle)
- Did we kill it today or what?
- Are you kidding me?
You guys freaking murdered it.
(girls giggle)
Also, Coach Thompson is
super proud of you too.
- [Emily] Awesome.
- Now, if you could just
stop being little bitches,
that'd be awesome.
- We're gonna meet some friends for pizza.
You should join us.
- Okay.
No, thank you.
I have too much to do,
but you guys were great.
Okay? Go, go.
- [Emily] We'll see
you in class on Monday.
- Try to...
Try to be good, if that's possible.
(Angela sighs)
Oh.
That's so messy.
(ominous music)
Tie game. Final seconds.
Banks is coming in hot.
Banks for the fade away.
Woo!
Woo, woo, woo.
Ah, Angela, you gotta get a life, girl.
Ugh.
Hello!
Girls.
(ominous music)
Shit.
What the fuck is wrong?
(suspenseful music)
Hello!
Hello!
(water splashes)
(suspenseful music)
(door bangs)
(suspenseful music)
Hello?
(water splashes)
(suspenseful music)
Seriously?
I have to do everything around here.
(suspenseful music)
(dramatic music)
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Easy there, slugger.
- Oh my God.
I'm sorry.
I'm so embarrassed, you startled me.
- That makes two of us.
I thought you already left.
- No, I have some things to catch up on.
- Did you ever get that calendar drawn up?
I gotta get it turned
into the board by Monday.
- I did. I did.
It's right here.
Whew.
- You're a peach.
You take it easy and have a good night.
- Oh, you too, sir.
- And lock up before you leave.
I'm not sure if anybody else is here.
- You got it.
- Oh, and Ms. Banks.
- Yes, sir?
- Are you sure you don't wanna
be the new batting coach?
That's an awfully good batting stance.
- You have a good night, sir.
- [Jackson] You too.
(ominous music)
- You sure you don't wanna
come with us for pizza?
- No, sweetie, thank you.
Look at how beautiful you are.
You did so good tonight, okay?
No, go. Have fun.
I'm terribly busy.
- Thank you.
- Be safe.
(ominous music)
Angela, you gotta get a life.
- Hello, Angela.
- [Angela] Mm.
- Just finishing my rounds.
I see your lights on.
Thought I'd come in and check
on you before I headed home.
- All good here, Don.
Have a good night.
(ominous music)
Yes, Don.
- Say.
How about
you go to dinner with me tonight?
- So tempting.
Hmm. No.
(ominous music)
Work is my priority, Don.
- You know, you should have some fun too.
Work is always gonna be your weight.
- Look, I am really sorry,
but I have to finish this itinerary ASAP.
(ominous music)
- I understand, Ms. Banks.
- Great.
- You know if you change your mind-
- I won't.
- You know where to find-
- I do.
- You have a good weekend-
- Bye.
- Stay safe up-
- I will.
(ominous music)
Toodles.
(dramatic music)
I gotta get outta here.
All I fucking do is work.
(suspenseful music)
Great.
Now we have lights.
Fucking shit.
All the time, it's fucking shit.
Oh my God!
Fucking shit!
Fuck, you scared the hell out of me.
- Well, I'm sorry, I
frightened you Ms. Banks.
Everyone else has left.
- Well, the freaking
circuit breaker tripped.
And can you fix this?
Because I'm literally
gonna have a heart attack.
- Cheap material.
(ominous music)
- What?
- They don't make them like they used to.
- Huh?
- The circuit breaker.
I'll look into it.
Meanwhile, maybe you should
get another flashlight.
(ominous music)
- Fucking weirdo.
Hey, Principal Jackson.
Oh my God.
What are you still doing here?
Lunatic.
Working on my batting stance.
(ominous music)
Hello.
Mr. Jackson.
What, are you sleeping?
Hello?
(dramatic music)
(Angela screams)
Oh my fucking God! (screams)
(screams) Fuck!
Oh my God.
Oh my fucking God.
Oh my God, oh my God.
Oh my fucking God.
(suspenseful music)
Oh my fucking God.

- [Dave] Welcome to the
"Armchair Investigators,"
an award-winning weekly
True Crime podcast.
As our longtime dear listeners know,
every Tuesday, I share
unsolved cases along
with special guests in a way
that'll make you feel like
you're simply sitting around
casually talking about crime
with our dear friends.
Today's feature program subject
is the Austin M. Lohr Psycho.
and our special guest is James Reynolds,
forensic psychology instructor
of Austin M. Lohr High.
Welcome to the show, James.
- [James] Thanks, Dave.
It's an honor to be here.
- [Dave] First of all,
what does forensic psychology entail?
- [James] Forensic psychology
can be perceived as a crossing
between psychology and criminal justice.
At a high school level,
our students learn about
criminal law in the basics
within psychology to conduct
an investigative procedure.
- [Dave] Well, I do understand
that you're instructing a project focused
on the Angela Banks case for
your students this semester?
- [James] Correct?
From several choices,
my students voted to do
a group study of Angela's
and the other possible
related victims cases.
- [Dave] Well, I can
understand their fascination.
Devoted listeners a year
ago, several school employees
and a cheerleader were brutally murdered
and their bodies were
discovered on the campus
the following Monday morning.
I hear no evidence was found, James.
- CSI investigators
found no usable evidence
or DNA on the bodies, the clothing,
or in the area surrounding the victims.
- So question.
How will this assignment work
with so little evidence
for your students to go on?
I mean, professionals
couldn't solve the case.
What do you expect from your kids?
- Oh, they're not totally
not expected to solve it.
It's an exercise to teach them the science
and methods behind crime investigation.
- Well, it definitely sounds very serious
and it sounds very real.
And I do envy them for having
such a devoted instructor as yourself.
We are out of time, unfortunately, James,
but I do appreciate you coming on,
and I would like to know if
you'd like to come back later
and we can see how progress is coming.
- Absolutely.
Be happy to.
- Great. I appreciate that.
Thank you.
- [James] All right, here's the handout
we're going over today.
Take one, pass it back.
Get familiar with it.
- [Announcer] Mr. Lamey, you're
needed at the front office.
(ethereal music)
- He's coming to get you, Hannah.
(students laugh)
- Apparently, Hannah and Ben
have something real important
to share with the rest of us.
Let's hear it.
- My bad, Mr. Reynolds.
I was just messing with her.
- Why don't you try and
mess with me, fuck head?
- [Students] Ooh.
- Sit down.
- [Students] Ooh.
- Now.
Both of you.
Ben, Brandon.
(suspenseful music)
I will not tolerate this infantile
and barbaric behavior in my class.
Ben, you need to take
this class more seriously.
Unless you wanna spend summer here too.
- I think you'd really enjoy that.
(students laugh)
- Enough.
- I apologize, Mr. Reynolds.
Won't happen again.
- I should hope not
if you plan to graduate.
Now, let's get back to where we left off.
Are there any questions?
Yes, Haley.
- All right.
So some dude randomly decides
to murder Angela in a public school
and then gets away with it.
And we're all just
supposed to believe that?
Like evidently, the police
don't know how to do their job
or they would've caught the person by now.
- Have the cops ever been able
to do their jobs correctly?
(students laugh)
- Enough.
(mysterious music)
- It says here on your handout,
nobody saw anything suspicious that night.
(Haley claps)
- Good job, Hannah.
But you don't have to
repeat what's already
on the worksheet.
Duh.
(students laugh)
- That's correct, Hannah.
There were no witnesses.
- Smart girl.
(mysterious music)
- Mr. Reynolds, would you
mind giving us a review
of the other Austin M.
Lohr High murders, please?
- Absolutely.
There were two more victims
over the course of the months.
First,
(suspenseful music)
Lyndsey Crawford,
29 years old, biology
instructor, murdered at home.
(Lyndsey screams)
(water splashes)
Number two, Jennifer
Morgan, 43, history teacher.
Assaulted in her home's bathroom.
(dramatic music)
- Wait, I don't get it.
Are these women like connected?
- Maybe they were a pack of lesbian lovers
who were PMSing
and murdered each other.
- The only link was that
they were all Austin M. Lohr
faculty members.
- Funny that the sarcastic
moron would say that.
- Yes, Brandon, you have
something you wanna ask?
- So, was it like serial
killers or multiple murderers?
And what's the motive?
- I want all of you
to put yourselves in the
mind of the perpetrator.
Think about a rough profile and
maybe come up with a motive.
(bell rings)
(students chatter)
- Little strange.
Little strange.
Okay, I'm leaving.
- [Kim] Okay. All right.
- Hey, looks like we're
all in a group together.
I'm sure Hannah will do most
of the heavy lifting, right?
- I intend to give very
familiar with the killer's mind
and try to crack this
case but you need to help.
No social loafers allowed.
- Dream on, bitch.
Besides, you're the one
always trying to show off
with your fancy words and shit.
There's your chance.
I'm sure you'll do great.
- [Announcer] Attention students and staff
- Chainsaw.
She won't shut the fuck up.
- [Announcer] Make sure to make
those much needed corrections.
Training will be as following.
Field number 15,
decision-specific training
will now be taking place
in field number 29.
- Ready to catch the boogieman?
- Why do you always do that?
- Because you're so serious
and I like to see you
lose your shit a bit.
- You just want me to be like you?
- I see how you've been in class
since we've got the assignment.
All right, Miss Profiler.
Analyze me.
- Okay, well,
you're edgy chewing on
the cap of your pen.
Not a bit concerned if you eat plastic,
wincing whenever the
word "blood" is mentioned
and trying to make everything
seem fun and casual.
I'd say either you have homophobia
or you're the killer trying
not to give yourself away.
- Damn, you really good at that.
You should do that to the others too
when they come over, I invited everyone
and they're on the way
to your place right now.
- What?
You know Christine is
not gonna go for that.
Especially bring boys in the house.
- Like, girl, I'll just tell her
that I invited everyone and that you know
she'll, I thought she'd be home.
Come on, girl.
I know that you have a crush on Ben.
That you have the hots for him.
- Him?
No, he is just a platonic friend.
- Still think he's cute, right?
- I guess.
I don't know why all of a
sudden he's being so talkative
after being so quiet and
weird the past couple years.
- What do you mean by weird?
He's so cute.
- Well, when he first moved here,
he was standoffish.
Super charming
but he's like kind of
in his own little world.
I don't know.
I feel drawn to him.
- Like yeah.
- Almost connected.
- Okay, has he ever talked to
you about anything going on?
- Not really.
It's like he's been having a secret
he's been trying so hard to hide.
But then again, I guess we all do.
(gentle music)
- Damn, your mom brings
home a lot of work.
You ever been through them?
- She prefers I don't.
I respect her privacy.
- Wish my mother trusted me like that.
You two are super close, aren't you?
Even though she's not like your birth mom?
- Christine's the only mother
I've ever really known.
And she was a badass
homicide detective back
in Washington, DC.
Yeah, she graduated top of her class
with a bachelor's in criminal justice
and a master's in public administration.
- Holy shit, look at you being so proud.
How did you two meet?
- I was abandoned as a baby
at St. Elizabeth's
Psychiatric hospital in DC.
- Wow.
Have you ever had any ill feeling
about your biological mother for that?
- No.
I was left healthy and wrapped
in a clean, warm blanket.
I think she must have had
a very important reason
for giving me up and must have loved me.
- Poor thing.
So Christine raised you as a baby.
- I wish.
I was in foster care until I was 16.
That's when I met Christine.
We immediately bonded and
fell in love with each other
and I knew if anyone could
be the mother I needed,
It was her.
And she took me in and we
moved here shortly after that.
- What a story.
My mom though.
Fuck, she can be a nightmare.
- I know.
Don't tell her where you're
going when you're going out
because you're hanging out with
Justin and she despises him.
How do you want her to trust you then?
- They don't get it.
She's not a Christine.
(somber music)
(knock on door)
- Meal delivery.
What's up, girl?
(mysterious music)
- I didn't have a choice.
- Where's Ben?
- "Where's Ben?" she asked.
- You're so full of BS, Justin.
And honestly, I have no idea
what Kim here sees in you.
- Hey gorgeous.
- [Hannah] Hey Brandon.
Do you happen to know where Ben's at?
- That fuck head?
I don't think he'll be showing up today.
- Yeah, we're supposed
to be working as a group.
- And you really think he gives a fuck?
He's a creep.
And besides, you heard Mr. Reynolds,
he'll be lucky to even graduate.
- Come on, guys.
We need to get started on this.
(knocks on door)
Jesus, Kimberly, who else did you invite?
(mysterious music)
Yes, can I help you?
- Kimberly said you would
like to buy some cookies.
- Just one box.
Better make it three though,
because we have some hungry teens to feed.
- Oh, what kind do you want?
We've got caramel, coconut,
milk, chocolate, and peanut butter.
- We'll just take all of them.
You can cover this, right, Hannah?
(mysterious music)
- [Child] Oh wait, you forgot your change.
- You can keep the change.
- [Child] Thank you.
Have a great night.
- You too.
You owe me.
- Shh.
(mysterious music)
- Look, I'm sorry about last night.
I'm sorry I couldn't make it.
Hannah.
- Let go of me.
- I'm sorry, Hannah.
- Look Ben, some of us
care about these projects,
our grades, and our future
and I'm not gonna let you get in the way
of me passing this course.
It's gonna look really good
on my college applications.
- Look, something really
did come up last night.
I promise I'm gonna be there next time.
Just please, let me see your notes.
- I have a biology class to get to.
Ask somebody else in the group.
Kim has cheerleading practice.
I think Haley-
- Chainsawing up the devil again tonight?
- Everyone's ditching me on this project.
They showed up but just
messed around the whole time
and we didn't get much done.
Guess I'm just a little frustrated
I'm having to do everything by myself.
- I'm really sorry, Hannah.
- Okay, here's the deal.
One of the guys has a
basketball game tonight
and the others are busy.
But I can meet up with you
for about an hour and
get you all caught up.
It's my final offer.
Is that where you have to explain
why you're still a senior next year.
- You're right, but I just
gotta go by my house first.
But I can meet you in the
library around five o'clock?
- Sounds good.
(mysterious music)
- Whoa.
Where are you off to in such a rush?
- I have to meet someone
in like 20 minutes.
- And who exactly is this someone?
- From school.
- From school?
Hannah, you know we talked
about focusing on graduating.
You can worry about dating later.
It's not like that at all.
It's from a group psychology project.
He missed the group work.
- You mean from the
clandestine group meeting
you had here yesterday?
- Come on, Christine.
You know me better than that.
- Just listen to me.
I know you're 18 now and I respect that,
but you still have to respect me.
This is my home and
you live under my roof.
- I know.
I'm really sorry for not asking you first.
(mysterious music)
- [Mama] She's stricken you, Benjamin.
- No, mama.
Why do you say that?
She's not.
She's just trying to help me.
We've been close friends
for a really long time.
- Don't be so blind, Benjamin.
She's just like the other girls,
just thinking about herself
and herself alone.
She's evil and she's going
to hurt you in the end.
- No, she's my best friend.
And she's gentle and sweet
and she's just trying to help me.
I promise.
- Don't disobey me, Benjamin.
I've known these women my whole life.
Yeah, they pretend to
be your closest friend
and then they hurt you.
They rip your heart
right out of your chest.
You just remember what happened to mama.
- It's not the same thing.
She's not like that.
She's smart and loving and kind
and she's the only friend I've ever known.
- Don't disrespect me!
How dare you disrespect me.
I said you are not, definitely
not going out to meet her.
I won't have it.
- I gotta leave, mama.
I have to live my own life.
I'll be back later.
- Damn you!
- Your book is overdue.
If you could please bring it back
to the library today, it'd be really nice.
Thank you.
Have a great day.
- [Announcer] Attention students.
Today, there are specials
on the lunch menu.
- Such a dance.
Do you think we're allowed to eat?
- [Announcer] Michaels mighty PB&J.
- I mean, I guess it
depends what's in there,
but I'm gonna eat what I wanna
eat so it doesn't matter.
- [Announcer] And my personal favorite.
Big John Sausage.
(solemn music)
- Hey, I'm sorry I'm a little late.
- You're only three minutes late.
If it had been four minutes,
we would've had a problem.
(solemn music)
- Uh, good one.
- Okay, so in a nutshell,
this is everything we
went over last night.
(solemn music)
(mysterious music)
(mysterious music continues)
- And with a minute to spare.
You always have been responsible.
So how was your big date?
- It wasn't a date, Christine,
as I explained before,
we were just studying together.
- Yeah, yeah, I bet you were.
- It's just really weird, you know?
Like one minute he's all
cool, talkative, whatever.
And then the next, I don't know,
he acts completely different.
- I hate to break it to you
sweetheart, but that's all men.
Why do you think I rarely date these days?
- You really date because you're
too wrapped up in your job.
Your badge dictates your life.
- Probably.
But guess what?
If you're not careful, you
may end up just like me.
- It won't be so bad, I guess.
- How's the project coming along?
So here's the thing, it's a real project,
not even the local police
have been able to solve
so I see it as a challenge.
- This isn't a fail the
class tactic, is it?
I mean, it seems unrealistic
to have students trying
to do the work of seasoned professionals.
- No, he's just trying to see how creative
and analytical our minds can really be
as if we were real detectives.
I think he's quite brilliant.
- Not more brilliant than me, right?
- No one's more brilliant
than you, Christine.
- Okay, I'm gonna go to
bed so I can be the one
who figures out who the real killer is.
It's almost like the answer
is right in front of my face.
Like I'm in a Scooby-Doo
cartoon or something.
Who's behind the mask?
(gentle music)
Night.
- Good night, (indistinct).
- All right, settle.
Let's get back to business.
Hannah, what does your group have so far?
- So based off the information
that I was personally able
to gather, I have determined
it was someone definitely
of the male gender.
- Well, yeah, that's obvious information
because it would take
somebody who was really strong
to be able to overpower
each one from so quickly.
And probably white.
- Wait, but what about that OJ guy?
I mean, he was a psycho
killer and he was Black.
- Yeah, but he was never found guilty
and the glove didn't fit.
Besides, most serial killers were white.
I mean, he had Bundy, Gacy, Dahmer.
- Whatever.
I get it.
Just the arthritis medicine, but whatever.
- Correct.
He wasn't found guilty,
but that doesn't mean he didn't do it.
But regardless, let's
focus on our case here.
Now, obviously, this guy is
pretty intelligent and slick.
Someone no one would expect.
(mysterious music)
Hannah, what else has your group gathered?
- We all think male.
Maybe an outcast.
People like him, but they don't like
to get too close to him.
- [James] Why is that?
- They feel uneasy and
uncomfortable around him.
He may be an only child,
might have an obsessive compulsive order
and some memories might trigger him.
- Holy fuck.
It sounds like she's describing you, Ben.
- (laughs) Fuck you, asshole.
- Oh yeah, fuck me?
You plan on doing something, punk.
(students laugh)
- This ends now.
I've warned you before.
(mysterious music)
This is part of detective work, okay?
Long hours, high profile cases
with a little dark humor thrown in.
You're all gonna have
to develop a thick skin
in this profession.
- Yup, Ben.
Chill out hotter.
- Hey, everyone, I
wanna see your profiles'
rough drafts by tomorrow.
Make sure you have some
reasoning behind your ideas.
Can't just create a baseless profile.
I'm so glad you volunteered
to join me in detention today, Haley.
(Kim and Justin laugh)
- Looking forward to it.
- I'll call your parents
and let them know where you're gonna be.
- [Haley] Awesome.
- Everybody have a good rest of the day.
- Hey, Miller.
- What do you want, Brandon?
- Whoa, is that how you
greet all your friends?
- [Hannah] Are you kidding me right now?
- I'm sorry.
Did I do something wrong?
- You were a jerk, Brandon.
Out of everyone in the school,
I never thought that you
would be so childish.
So what if Ben is a little different?
You don't know anything about him.
- Fucking unbelievable.
- What?
- You totally got the hots
for that loser, don't you?
- Nothing I say, do, think,
or feel is any of your business,
- Hannah.
I mean, you know how I feel about you
and I've always respected that you wanted
to put school first.
I mean, I find it very admirable.
I waited-
- Brandon.
- Just let me finish.
I've been patiently waiting for you.
And for what?
To just sit here every day and
watch you throw your panties
at some loser that
doesn't even acknowledge
your fucking existence?
- Please stop yelling.
- Okay.
Just have a little bit
more respect for yourself.
You're way better than that.
Or so I thought.
- Don't you dare talk to me about respect.
- Oh, by the way,
Hannah Miller, will
you go to prom with me?
- (scoffs) Your dreams, asshole.
- [Announcer] Attention, students.
School campus safety is of key importance.
Stay alert to your surroundings
and people around you.
(ominous music)
- Listen to your mama, Benjamin.
Girls, they're only interested
in what you can do for them.
How you stroke their ego, praising,
and what gifts you give them,
none of them care more than that.
Remember what happened to your mama?
You know what you have to do.
She's just a little whore.
- [Ben] Stop saying that!
She's a good person.
She's my friend.
(knocks on door)
Who's there?
- [Hannah] Ben, it's Hannah.
- Hannah?
What are you doing here?
- I just came to check on you.
Is now a bad time?
- No, come on in.
I was just talking to my mom.
- Oh, I'd love to meet her.
- Oh no, she's not here.
- But-
- I was on the phone with her.
- Oh, okay.
(mysterious music)
I just wanted to check on you.
Brandon thinks he's funny,
but he's really just a jerk.
- Oh yeah.
No, I'm fine.
He is a jerk though.
(gentle music)
- All right, well I guess I better go.
I just wanted to make sure you were okay.
- Oh, no problem.
Thanks for stopping by.
- Yeah, anytime.
(gentle music)
- Knock, knock.
Your majesty is here, the queen.
- I see you're ready
for your hot Saturday
night date with Justin.
- Yup. It's Saturday night.
Why aren't you getting ready
for a party or something?
Please, Hannah, live it up for once.
- You live it up enough for the both of us
so I have to be the responsible one.
- You're a buzzkill is what you are.
- My only party night this semester,
it's gonna be at the senior prom.
- Hmm.
Oh, check this out by the way.
Brandon is now dating Haley.
- What?
- I know.
He's like totally in love
with you for all these years.
You reject him once and he's
over Chainsaw like a rash.
What are you working on anyway?
- I'm working on this case
Mr. Reynolds assigned.
- My god, Hannah. Seriously?
It's some fake ass story he told us
just so that we would come
up with some fairytale case.
You already came up with a profile.
- You mean I came up with a profile.
You screwed around and
made out the whole time.
And it's not a fake case.
Look.
- Do we have to?
- All of the unsolved murder cases related
to Austin M. Lohr high, all female
except for the principal and the janitor.
- Okay?
That's like every serial
killer in the US of A.
Everybody's like a Jane Doe
and they turn up murdered.
Mr. Reynolds went over
that in the handout.
- The killer stabbed his
victims with a hunting knife
and it is really unusual
for a serial killer
to suddenly change their MO.
- Anyways, instead of all that
stuff, let's take a picture.
- What are you doing?
- This is evidence in case my mom
needs to know that I'm
here and she needs proof.
And I told her I was here.
So cover for me, okay?
- Don't I always?
- Yes.
All right, I'm gonna go.
I'm gonna bounce.
Do I look hot?
- Scalding.
- [Kim] Thanks.
I know. Bye.
- Good evening.
My name is Jerry Lamey
and I'm the assistant principal.
As you well know, several faculty members
and a honor role student
of lost their lives
under tragic and mysterious circumstances,
both on and off campus
in the past couple years.
- Can you give us an update
on the current investigation
of these horrible murders?
Are there any suspects yet?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- We need some answers.
(all applauding)
- Well, to answer that question
and others, I've asked our
campus Chief of Security,
Mr. Leonard Vasquez, to please speak.
Chief Vasquez.
- Well, we've been in
constant communication
with a local law enforcement task force
that's assigned to these cases.
And so far, there are no suspects.
(crowd murmur)
Off campus or on campus
for any of these homicides.
- Here's a question for
the assistant principal.
So what security measures have
been implemented to assure
that our children are safe?
- I can assure you that
everything possible is being done
for our students' safety.
- Yes, it takes a tragedy
to make serious changes, doesn't it?
But still, what guarantee do we have
that these murders will
not continue to happen?
Exactly how safe is this school?
- Will you take this question, Chief?
- Absolutely.
Well, I've doubled the patrol on campus
and I've also assigned a female officer
to guard the women facilities.
So rest assured, ma'am, we are prepared
and we will do whatever it takes
to catch this offender,
whomever it may be.
- I found a fan fiction website
and they've been publishing
quite a few posts
about these unsolved cases.
Now the author of these
posts is listed as anonymous.
What steps are being taken
to find out who's
responsible for the website?
- The city police task force,
in cooperation with the FBI, are trying
to trace the identity of this anonymous.
And we're asking the
public to please disregard
any of the probable misinformation
that's being published by this website.
It's both misleading
and disrespectful to any of
the victim's friends or family.
- The senior prom is scheduled
to be happening here in two days.
Will that still be happening
and will it be safe?
- The prom will proceed as scheduled.
We're gonna increase the security.
We're also gonna have parents
and teacher chaperones.
And this year, it's gonna
be a little different.
We need anybody that participates
in this event to come
with a student ID to gain entry.
We're just wanting to ensure
that everybody has a pleasant,
fun, safe time at this event.
- Yeah, yeah.
I like the way it looks.
Man, I really appreciate you volunteering
to help me set up for tomorrow night.
All that's been going on,
these kids deserve a chance
to just enjoy celebrating
with her friends.
- It's gotta be terrible, man.
These kids gotta be traumatized
with all these murders
that's happening around here.
The cops really need to step
up and actually do something.
- Yeah, I don't think the
kids gotta worry too much
with added security
and chaperones are gonna have here,
person has to be a magician
to be able to break
into this place.
So listen, I'm gonna check the breakers.
Why don't you just take yourself a break?
- Sure thing.
(ominous music)
- Oh great.
I'm glad I came in here since we've got
some breakers down already.
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music continues)
- Oh, you wanna go?
(suspenseful music continues)
(police officer grunts)
(knocks on door)
- Oh, hey there, Miss Rachel.
Didn't mean to startle you.
I'm just making my final rounds.
See that your lights are on.
You know it's a little weird
that anyone else is here
this late other than me.
- I know.
I've got a bunch of backed up exams
that I've gotta get done,
so I thought I'd knock them all out.
There was a couple installing mood lights
in the gym earlier, but I
guess they've probably left
for the evening.
- Yeah, they must have.
'Cause I don't see any
other vehicles out there
in the parking lot.
Well, I guess if
everything's in order here,
I'll just head on home.
You know, but I'll stop
at the grocery store first
if there's anything
you need me to pick up.
- No, no, thanks.
I am gonna go ahead and finish this.
You have fun with your grocery shopping.
I'll see you tomorrow.
(suspenseful music)
Don.
Don?
Are you okay?
(ominous music)
(Rachel gasps)
(suspenseful music)
No!
No, no, please, no.
(suspenseful music continues)
No, no, please!
No, no!
No, no!
Please.
(suspenseful music continues)
- [Hannah] You look hot.
- Wow, you look gorgeous too.
Look at how good they
all cleaned up for this.
- Where's Justin?
- Thinks proms and dancing is for losers?
Idiot.
But I'm gonna go see him in
a little bit and I can't wait
for him to see me in this dress.
- Just be careful, you know
there's still a murderer
on the loose.
- I know.
- Welcome, Austin M. Lohr
graduating class of 2024.
(students cheers)
Tonight, it's a celebration
of your storm skies
for you righteous dues
and impeccable dolls.
Graduation is quickly sneaking up upon us
and some of you'll be headed
to college pretty soon.
Others will be stepping
in the whole wild world
to fulfill your personal
dreams and destiny.
Tonight, in tribute to our future
as we all go our separate ways,
we're gonna raise hell
and mercilessly party party!
- All right, grandpa.
Where do they find these DJs?
(upbeat music)
- Care to share that?
- Jesus, Kevin.
My nerves are on edge and
you sneak up on me like that?
- I'm sorry, sir.
I didn't mean to do that.
You really should go back inside and try
and relax and enjoy yourself.
Music helps.
- That kind of music?
I don't think so.
- You know, I would agree.
I'm more of a Sinatra fan myself.
- Students always
complain about you playing
that stuff in the chemistry lab.
The best teacher the school's ever had.
I just tell them they
can use a bit of class.
- Bacardi. Neat.
- How'd you guess that?
- I have an incredibly
sharp sense of smell.
It's an advantage when I
want to charm the ladies
by guessing the kind of
perfume they're wearing.
- Oh, don't worry, I never do this.
I've already handed in
my resignation letter.
This is just a farewell
to my very brief career
as an assistant principal.
- I'd never tell anyone.
You can't be leaving.
I know how hard your job is.
Especially now.
They're gonna catch this killer
and things will be back to normal.
You hang in there, sir.
- Thank you, Kevin.
But I'm at peace with my decision.
I better go.
Oh, by the way,
I'm recommending you for my position.
Not very much better pay,
whole lot more responsibility.
Interested?
- Thank you, sir, but for
me, my lab is the compound.
Plus I wanna continue
driving my students nuts
with a little bit of
help from Mr. Sinatra.
- Thought so.
See you on Monday.
Mr. Lamey.
You be safe.
(upbeat music)
(dramatic music)
- All right, everybody.
Now we got a special guest
coming up next, all right?
So what y'all give it up for Paris Taylor.
(students cheer)
- Hello, everybody.
My name is Paris Taylor and
I'm ready to jam here tonight.
Are you ready to party?
(students cheer)
(indistinct lyrics)
Love as precious (indistinct)
(indistinct lyrics)
Save your work for someone else's
(indistinct lyrics)
A cold shoulder even
colder (indistinct)
Honey let me learn my lesson
You're the walking depredation
Don't waste my time
(indistinct lyrics)
Save your work for someone else's
(indistinct lyrics)
A cold shoulder even
colder (indistinct)
Honey let me learn
(electricity zaps)
- Holy shit, that was loud.
- Is the psycho killer coming to get us?
- Don't be silly.
- The Austin M. Lohr psycho is here!
(students scream)
(students scream)
(suspenseful music)
- I think everything's okay.
- Who would be so stupid
to joke around like that?
- I did not sign up to
work out on prom night.
- Work out of the year.
- Except we ended up with busted feet,
that usually doesn't happen.
- Yeah, you need to fix your
hair before you see Justin.
- Do I have to?
- I guess he's gonna mess it up anyways.
- All right, I'm gonna leave to see him
before he gets too drunk and decides
to come up with some smart idea.
What?
- You need to be careful.
- I know.
Don't worry, girl.
I'll be careful.
I'll come over to see you tomorrow.
(ominous music)
Love you.
(mysterious music)
(dramatic music)
(Justin screams)
- Better not be drunk
off your ass already.
Better leave me some.
Walked all this way for your ass.
Justin!
(suspenseful music)
No, no, Justin.
The fuck (indistinct).
It's okay. (cries)
(dramatic music)
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music continues)
Come at me, motherfucker! (pants)
(suspenseful music)
(Kim screams)
(suspenseful music continues)
Somebody help!
(suspenseful music continues)
Somebody, help me!
Come on!
(suspenseful music continues)
Oh, please.
Oh, please. (sobs)
(suspenseful music continues)
(suspenseful music continues)
(suspenseful music continues)
(suspenseful music continues)
(Kim pants)
(suspenseful music continues)
(Kim screams)
No, no, no, no!
No, please! (screams)
No, no.
No!
(suspenseful music continues)
(Kim gurgles)
(ominous music)
- Hey, good morning,
- Christine,
what do you think makes a person a killer?
- Such a complex question.
This early in the morning.
What do you think the answer is?
- Something tells me there's so much more
to all of this than what the police found.
Everyone thinks that I'm obsessive,
but I feel like I don't know.
Like, the answer's right
in front of my face.
- Hannah, you're going to make
a great investigator someday.
But can I just give you a word of advice?
- Please.
I barely slept last night
thinking about all of this.
- Honey,
this is a career that will eat you alive.
Detectives were driven by a passion
to bring justice to every crime.
And we even go out of our way
to stop crimes from happening.
But it just isn't possible
to solve all of them
no matter how hard we try.
And to survive in this profession,
you can't be obsessive.
- That why I've found you in
the same spot I left you in
since last night?
Not obsessing?
- Touche.
Just can't believe Mr. Lamey was killed.
How is this killer getting
away with all of these murders?
- He had so much security indoors,
they searched everyone
coming in for weapons.
Yet the killer still managed
to find a victim inside and escape.
I mean, we're dealing with
someone extremely smart here.
- And just wish he could have been there.
He would've somehow managed
to find someone suspicious looking.
- Sorry, baby.
I was working another
homicide across town.
(phone rings)
- Hello?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah, I'd love to.
I just...
Yeah, I can meet you in about an hour.
See you then.
- Wait, I still need to
know where you're going.
- I'm gonna the school
library to meet Ben.
- Don't hang out too late.
You know I worry about you.
(mysterious music)
- Attention students, Logan Wheat,
come to the principal's
office immediately.
Logan Wheat, you're needed
at the principal's office immediately.
- We all missed you at
the prom last night.
It was crazy.
- Yeah.
I heard.
I'm sorry.
I don't do well in social events.
(mysterious music)
- So it's really nice here.
Do you come here a lot?
- Yeah, I come here sometimes
just to clear my head, you know?
- Yeah.
- What about you?
Do you have any special
places you like to go to?
- Not really.
Just get lost in my daydreams, I suppose.
- Doesn't sound like a bad place to be.
- So, you lived here for a few years,
but nobody really knows
anything about you.
- Yeah, I mean, I've been kind of a loner
ever since my mother died.
Not much of a people person now, you know?
- I thought you said you were on the phone
with your mom the other day
when I came to your house.
- Oh,
I meant my stepmom.
I was talking about my stepmom.
My real mother passed away
or killed herself
when I was 12 years old.
- Ben, I'm so sorry, I didn't know.
- It's fine.
It's been a long time.
- So it's just you, your
stepmom and your dad now?
- Just me and my pops, actually.
Him and my stepmother are separated now.
- So where is your dad?
I mean, no one ever
really sees him around.
- Yeah, he's not really around much.
He works for a interstate trucking company
and he's on the road all the time.
- May I ask why
did your mom, you know?
- You really ask a lot
of questions, don't you?
- Ben, I'm so sorry.
- That's fine.
Just the little wannabe detective in you.
Right?
- Guess so.
- Well, my turn.
What's your story?
- Well, I'm a foster kid.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I was dragged through the
system until I was 16.
That's when I met Christine
and well, I've been here ever since.
- Well, it kind of makes
us the same, right?
- Well,
I mean, I-
- I mean like, like in a way, like,
we both know what it's
like to lose a parent.
- Yeah.
Ben-
- Listen,
I really like you
and I've liked you for a long time
and I know I've suppressed
myself ever since my mother died
but I think you're really good for me.
And with a little more time,
I believe mama will approve.
(phone vibrates)
- Christine, everything okay?
Well she said she was gonna
come over later today.
Well, has anyone called Justin?
Yeah, I'll be right there.
- Is everything all right?
You look pale.
- Kim never came home
after the prom last night.
She's not answering her phone
and Justin's not answering either.
I'm really sorry, but I have to go.
- Sure.
(mysterious music)
- Wait, let me give you a ride home.
(mysterious music)
Hey, I'm here if you need anything, okay?
Just give me a call.
- I will.
Thank you, Ben.
- We just gotta find her.
- We will.
No one's heard from her yet?
- No, honey.
But the police are doing their
best to try and find her.
- Okay.
I just hope they find her soon.
Hannah, the Bowermans have
some questions for you
just in case you might have
an idea on how to locate Kim.
- Yeah.
Yeah, anything.
(gentle music)
- This isn't like Kimberly.
She's a good girl.
She said she was coming here
with you after the prom.
Did she come here?
- She said she was gonna
but it might've gone to
another friend's house.
She's gotta be nearby then.
(gentle music)
- Hannah?
- She said she was gonna meet
with Justin after the prom.
- Seriously, Hannah?
What kind of friend are you?
You let her run off with that damn loser
and how dare you suggest
that my daughter is some
kind of wild party girl.
- She's been dating him
for over a year, okay?
I've been covering for
her the entire time.
Every sleepover, every late night-
- Hannah.
Calm down, please.
She made me promise not to tell anyone.
- I don't believe you.
I don't believe you.
There's no way that my sweet angel
would ever, ever do such a thing.
Now you tell me where she is
right now, or I swear to God-
- That's enough.
Vincent, I know you're upset,
but don't you dare threaten my daughter.
She told you everything she knows.
- You know what?
Let's just get the hell out of here.
- She's not even yours.
(sullen music)
- [Brandon] Hey Hannah.
Come check this out.
- Oh, I don't think she
liked that very much.
- I think I pressed the wrong button.
- Aw.
- Yo, psycho, where's Kim and Justin at?
- You wanna be next, asshole?
- Oh my God!
- Ooh.
The psycho's making threats.
I'm shivering in me boots.
I'm really scared.
- Just shut up.
- Oh, the psycho's little girlfriend
is coming to his rescue.
That's so cute.
- That's so adorable.
But Hannah, you know, I didn't
know you were that desperate.
Have a little class, Jesus.
- Can't believe you.
All of you just sitting here laughing.
Kim and Justin are missing
and you're just laughing
as though nothing happened.
- Well, maybe you can have loverboy here
fuck your brains out
until you forget about it.
- Oh wait, that's if he
doesn't kill her first.
- Ooh, yeah.
You might wanna be careful.
Unless you're into that, in
which case we don't judge.
- I think she might like that.
Yeah, don't judge like she said.
- Ben, this is Detective
Christine Williams
and Detective Marcus Brown.
And they would like to
talk to you for a moment.
A few questions.
- Ah fucking movie.
He's getting interrogated
by his future mother-in-law. (laughs)
- You know, I wouldn't
lie, be interrogated
by Mr. Marcus Brown.
Excuse me, detective, out of curiosity.
Do you have handcuffs by chance?
- Yes, and I guarantee you
don't wanna be in a situation
where a police officer
has to use them on you.
- [Brandon] Ouch.
- Please come with us, Ben.
- No one's being arrested.
Okay, this is just so we
can gather some information.
- Well, Ben, legally,
you're 18 so they can talk
to you without a parent being present.
But I'll look into hiring an attorney.
(mysterious music)
- [Officer] You have the
right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used
against you in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney.
If you cannot afford a lawyer,
one will be appointed for you.
(speakers speaking indistinctly)
- All right.
Open your books, page 87.
Back at it. Let's go.
(knocks on door)
- Hey, Mr. Reynolds.
- Hannah, what are you doing here?
It's late.
It's after hours.
We didn't have an appointment
scheduled, did we?
(ominous music)
What can I do for you?
- I'm sorry.
I'm just worried about Ben.
Is he okay?
Did they release him?
- Look, I know that you
want to help everyone.
I mean, you have a great
heart, that's why I like you.
But some people, you can't help.
Ben's one of them.
- How can you say that?
He's a good person.
You don't even know him.
- Look, I shouldn't tell you this, okay?
It could cost me my job,
but I've seen his records.
I know his history.
Ben's somebody you shouldn't trust.
(mysterious music)
- How can you say that?
You're a teacher.
You're supposed to help us.
- Hannah.
Hannah, wait.
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music continues)
(James grunts)
(suspenseful music continues)
(James gurgles)
(suspenseful music continues)
- Christine.
- Hannah, don't.
You know I can't discuss
anything with you.
- Okay?
Well, you have to tell me something.
Do they find Kim and Justin yet?
Is Ben okay?
(solemn music)
- Ben's fine.
Still no sign of Kim and Justin.
And honestly, because of our relationship,
I'm surprised they even asked
me to participate in the case.
No, Hannah, no more questions.
(mysterious music)
Come sit.
(mysterious music)
- I am just so worried about them.
And Ben, did they have to do that
in front of the whole class?
- He had no choice.
If Kim and Justin are in danger,
the information we
collect is time sensitive.
It could be life or death for them.
We have to move quickly
and question any suspects
as soon as we identify them.
- So is Ben considered a suspect?
(mysterious music)
- Hannah, if you really
wanna be a detective someday,
these are all things
you're gonna have to learn.
- None of this seems fair.
- Situations like this happen every day.
That's why you have to
become a focused, thorough,
and fair detective.
- I get what you mean.
(mysterious music)
- I'm going to bed.
Okay?
Don't stay up too late.
(mysterious music)
- No.
They seriously think I have
something to do with Kim
and Justin's disappearances, mama.
They got a patrol car
parked across the street
watching my every move.
- Don't be so stupid.
They're just trying to frighten you.
Trying to make a quick arrest.
You don't wanna let mama
down now do you, Benji?
You need to be stronger.
Remember when your daddy tried to tell you
you were a crazy goon?
Remember when you stood up for mama
and defended her?
Now, you need to stand up for yourself.
- Boy, had I raised such a pussy?
You like to taste that
sausage on your lips.
How the hell did I raise someone like you?
I have pussies in this house.
Stop your fucking crying.
You need to learn to be a man.
You don't want to be weak
like your mother was.
You-
Boy, you don't need to do this.
This isn't you, you don't
wanna be without a dad.
(object thuds)
(suspenseful music)
- Don't you see?
They're doing to you what they did to me.
You're a good boy, Benji.
You're such a good boy.
Do what mama says.
I'll defend you.
(suspenseful music)
- Yes, mama.
(phone rings)
- Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay, thanks.
- [Hannah] Everything okay?
- Take a seat, sweetie.
They...
They found Kim and Justin's
bodies at the school
and
your psychology teacher
was also found dead
in his office this morning.
Sorry, baby.
- What?
No!
No, you're lying.
It can't be.
It can't be Kim.
My best friend.
And Justin?
And Mr. Reynolds?
(somber music)
- Baby, I'm so sorry.
(Hannah cries)
(somber music)
- Hannah, sweetie.
Ben's here to see you.
(somber music)
(Hannah cries)
- Ben. (cries)
- I know.
(Hannah cries)
(somber music)
- I just don't understand
who would wanna hurt them, and why.
- I really don't understand either
but I'm sure the cops will figure it out.
Hey, they're gonna get
whoever did this, okay?
(knocks on door)
- Now what the fuck are you doing here?
You know you got some real nerves showing-
- Brandon stop!
- [Brandon] How dare you let
this maniac can see your house.
- He didn't kill anyone.
What is your problem?
- How can you even believe that?
You know, Kim makes some
posts about this loser
to her social media followers
and then all of a sudden,
she and Justin show up dead?
And our teacher, you
know he died for what?
Trying to help him?
He's a fucking psychopath
you can't even see it.
- What is going on?
Brandon.
Brandon, look at me.
You cannot go around accusing
people without proof.
The police are on this case, trust me.
We are going to find whoever did this.
- Yeah, well they better hurry up
'cause someone needs
to be put behind bars.
- Enough! Enough!
Hey!
I can arrest both of you
if you don't listen to me.
Do I make myself clear?
(suspenseful music)
The two of you need to respect the fact
that you lost your friends.
Why don't you calm down
and use some of that negative energy
toward doing something good?
- I'm sorry, I was out of line.
- Look, Hannah's been doing research
on this project on her own.
Sadly, you're gonna need
a substitute teacher,
but you can still finish the project.
I think it'd be a good idea
if you both helped her.
It would be a nice thing
to do for Kim and Justin.
- What do you mean for Kim and Justin?
(mysterious music)
- Go ahead and tell them sweetie.
(mysterious music)
- This may be a total coincidence,
but Kim and Justin weren't
just randomly slain.
They were...
- What?
They were what?
- There's something the
homicide investigators
haven't released the public yet.
About what happened to Kim
and Justin and Mr. Reynolds.
- Do you remember the story
that Mr. Reynolds told us?
About the killer and
how he would stab him,
fed up his victims with a hunting knife?
(suspenseful music)
It appears that they were
killed using the same knife.
- No fucking way!
You mean to tell me that our friends
and Mr. Reynolds was murdered
by the same psycho killer
that off those teachers on
the Austin M. Lohr campus?
You know, maybe he's been
doing this all along.
His true colors just
beginning to show again.
- I'm not the killer, asshole!
- Oh yeah?
Only time will tell.
- Stop it! Just stop it!
(mysterious music)
- You know, she still wants
to be with that psychopath.
At this point, she's
probably helping. (laughs)
Speaking of, look who it is.
Welcome back to the world of the living.
You know, I know you
haven't been around here
in a couple weeks, but
everything's been absolutely crazy.
First of all, our sub is completely fed up
with Brandon and Ben.
And for some reason, everyone's
really worried about you.
Come with me.
- [Haley] No.
Where do? Where?
- Just come with me.
- No.
Look, I know we're not
really friends or anything,
but you've been like totally missing
and people are starting to talk.
I just, I don't really know
where you are mentally right now.
Okay?
- I wanna go to Ben's
old house where he lived
before his parents bought the
new house early last year.
It's vacant and deserted now.
So please just come with me.
- Hannah, I think you need some help.
- Oh no.
Hannah, it's locked.
You know, it's almost like
they don't want sneaking in
to the underground layer
of a serial killer.
How are we ever gonna get in now?
- We could go around, genius.
- Oh, I guess that's a good idea.
Ugh, Jesus.
You know, it smells like
someone died in here.
What if we're next?
What if that psycho maniac
is still hiding here?
- [Hannah] Don't be ridiculous, Haley.
- I mean, is it really that ridiculous?
Meanwhile, can you take
me here, Miss Nancy Drew?
(suspenseful music)
Good job.
So this is the place.
You know how many murders were
probably planned out here?
What if we're next?
Oh my God, are you scared?
- It's really dusty.
- Nice observation.
Here's another one.
I think this place used to
double as an antique shop.
How cool.
(mysterious music)
Hey,
do you think this was Ben?
- Oh yeah, I think so.
17 going on 200.
- Could be a vampire.
(mysterious music)
- That is literally empty, Hannah.
Okay, you are wasting everybody's time.
What the hell are you
hoping to find out here?
(dramatic music)
(Brandon laughs)
- Looks like you two are
the scared of the bitches.
- [Haley] Asshole.
- Save it.
So Hannah, you wanna play detective
and find the psycho killer
who you deduce may have
lived here many years ago
based off of an old photograph?
- [Hannah] Or we could just
get the hell out of here.
- Nah.
Hannah wants to play catch the killer.
So let's play.
I'll head over that way and look.
And you guys just stay
and check out this dump.
- Yeah, so you can sneak out
and then walk us in here?
No way.
And Hannah doesn't have to do anything
she doesn't want to.
And you should probably
just go ahead and get out.
Nobody even invited you here.
- I don't know why he's here.
Do you wanna go to the basement with me?
- No.
No, okay.
This place sucks.
It smells horrible.
It's dusty as hell.
And honestly, I just wanna go.
- Okay, I know you think I'm nuts,
but please, what if there's
something that could lead us
to figuring something out?
- Right.
Something that the
professional investigators
who have searched this place
top to bottom have missed.
Right?
- Please, you don't think that Kim
and Justin deserves some justice?
- I think that Kim and Justin are dead
no matter what we do about it.
It's not gonna change anything, Hannah.
- Fine, I'm going to the basement.
Can you please just look around
and like look for a clue?
Anything that the detectives
might have missed?
- Right, yeah.
Again, I'll just look for things
that the professional
investigators missed.
Oh, hey, do you think this
might have a clue in it?
Should we take it to the police station?
Maybe mail it in anonymously?
- Yeah, why don't you look
at it a little harder?
Maybe a secret message will appear.
Dumb ass.
(mysterious music)
- Well, the teapots clean, so.
What the hell?
- I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, mama.
I miss you, Mama.
I miss you so much.
(ominous music)
I miss you. (sobs)
I miss you so much.
(ominous music)
I'm sorry.
- Ben?
Ben.
Hey, Ben.
Ben. Hey
- Hannah?
What are you doing here?
- What are you doing here?
(object rattles)
(suspenseful music)
- Brandon, what the hell happened?
- Somebody came up
behind me with the knife.
I managed to get a hand knife,
but he still came with the blade.
- Did you see who it was?
- I don't know. All right?
It took me by complete surprise.
He knocked me over and by
the time I got a chance
to get a good look at him, he was gone.
- Well, we have to call the cops.
- Damn it, damn it!
There's not a fucking signal here.
Please, please.
- Was it you Ben?
(ominous music)
- If it was you I swear to fucking God.
- He didn't do it.
- I don't believe it.
How are you defending this fucking psycho?
How many more people does he have to kill
before you see him for where he truly is?
- Brandon, stop it.
- Good idea.
And Hannah, you believe this freak
is so pure and innocent?
Why don't you stay here and babysit him?
Haley and I are gonna go get some help.
(mysterious music)
- Ben, he doesn't know
what he's talking about.
Just ignore him, okay?
- Stop!
I need to clear my head.
(mysterious music)
(mysterious music continues)
(mysterious music continues)
(mysterious music continues)
(suspenseful music)
- Hannah.
Hannah.
Haley is dead.
I know what you're thinking.
I tried to save her.
Hannah, I swear to God, I did not do this.
- Ben.
- [Ben] You have to believe me.
- I did. I believed you.
- I swear to God.
(Hannah pants)
I don't know what happened.
It wasn't me.
You have to understand.
I tried to save.
I tried to save.
(Hannah screams)
(Hannah cries)
(Brandon claps)
- Please, please don't kill me.
- I'm so sorry, Hannah,
but you destroyed me.
But I must admit, I didn't
think you had it in you
to become a cold hearted killer.
You and I we're a lot more
like than you thought.
Huh?
- And you killed all the others?
- (laughs) You bet your ass I did.
And I enjoyed every single second time.
Justin was way too easy.
Getting drunk out of his fucking mind.
Surprise, surprise.
(suspenseful music)
Kimberly, though.
Well, I had to consider
her my first dramatic kill.
You know, she really put up a good fight.
It was beautiful.
(mysterious music)
Delicious even.
And as for that stupid dumbass teacher.
You know, I followed you that evening
and I heard the little
chat that you two had.
That inconsiderate smart ass,
he deserved to die too.
- Why?
- (laughs) Why?
Well, Hannah.
Just 'cause I could.
You know, my entire life,
I've always been the underdog.
Nobody ever paid any attention to Brandon.
Nobody took me seriously.
But I be you take very
seriously right now, aren't you?
- You need professional help, Brandon.
- I saved you for last, Hannah.
Oh my Hannah
You're gonna be my sweetest kill yet.
You refused me all those years
even though you knew how
deeply I felt for you.
But you know what?
I must admit, I had a whole
lot of fun baiting you.
Making it look like the
Austin M. Lohr psycho
just so happened to magically appear
when Mr. Reynolds gave us
that dumb ass assignment.
(Hannah pants)
- What did, what did Mr.
Lamey ever do to you?
- I was angry.
He was the one
who ordered the increased
security for the prom
fucking up my plans.
There was no way I was gonna
get this beaut in there.
(mysterious music)
- Please don't.
Please, please, please.
- It's okay, I promise.
It isn't fair, is it?
Get up, get up, get up.
Get up, get up, get up.
It wasn't fair that you never
noticed your love was used.
Not fair that I had to sit there
all those years watching you
drooling over that asshole Ben,
when I was the one who reserved you most.
- Please.
- Shut the fuck up.
You bitch.
(Hannah cries)
- Oh.
You and I could have been
something so special,
but you just had to go off
and ruin it, didn't you?
- You made me kill Ben.
- No, no.
- Yes, he was innocent.
- No, no one's innocent, Hannah.
We were all born to kill if need be
and you just proved my points.
- I thought Haley was supposed to be dead.
(suspenseful music)
- Join me, Hannah.
Justin is calling.
(suspenseful music)
- Fuck you!
(suspenseful music)
(ethereal music)
(sirens blaring)
(ethereal music continues)
- Yeah, like I don't even
know that Hannah chick, man.
But she survived that massacre, dude.
Now that's some crazy
situational survival skills
right there, man.
- Hannah's a fighter through and through.
Turn from survivor to hero
with Austin M. Lohr Finally put down,
maybe the town of Herbert
Heights can catch its breath.
