Happy Face (2025) s01e04 Episode Script

Controlled Burn

1
Previously on Happy Face
I could've sworn
that she was dead,
but she woke up, and so, I just
hit her over the head.
What'd you hit her with?
My dog wrench. 11 inch.
I'm Josh, by the way.
You're Hazel, right?
- I don't have a PayPal account.
- Oh, use mine.
Just wanted to see if you were
a sick fuck like your dad.
You talk to my daughter
like that again,
- you see what happens.
- Who the fuck
you think reported your phone?
Get inside. Tell your dad
to call the police now.
Somebody wrote an
op-ed about you.
You had an abortion
- when you were 15.
- What?
It was Brendan. It was my ex.
You want me to reopen this
case? Bring me hard evidence.
Not trampolines or guitar picks.
I do remember him.
A lot of truckers come
through here, but I'd
never seen one bring a boy.
Big for his age.
Shaggy hair.
That's Shane.
My brother.
Okay, the sooner we get
this all wrapped up,
- we can get to that drink.
- Cool, cool.
- Double time.
- Yeah, you bet.
So, coming with us
for a beer, Shane?
Oh, no, I can't tonight, man.
All right, let's head out.
Vacation's over, Jesperson.
Be more discreet from now on.
Uh I-I don't see a car.
Uh, yeah, he'll-he'll
be home from work soon.
How soon? I-I mean,
we could just go
check into the hotel.
Yeah. Let's do that.
Got to pee.
Okay, hey, hey.
When was the last time
you saw your brother?
Uh, Thanksgiving, maybe
three years ago, but we're
we're close, though, mostly.
And he, and he knows
that we're coming?
I just kept it loose.
Uh, he doesn't like
to be nailed down.
- Are you calling him?
- I'm-I'm calling home. I'll be back in a minute.
- Hey.
- Hey.
How is everyone?
Everyone? Everyone is fine,
all things considered.
How are you?
I'd be better if our
daughter would call me back.
Yeah, well, I tried
talking to her a little bit
about the article, but she
wasn't exactly thrilled
to be discussing her mom's
abortion with her dad.
What are you doing right now?
I am installing a
security camera.
If we're not gonna get
a restraining order
against that psycho,
at least next time
we'll see him coming.
I really, really don't
think he'll be back.
Oh, really?
How do you know that?
Because he made his point, okay?
Wait, why are you
even home right now?
I took another day off.
Do you think that's a good idea
when you're up for a promotion?
I don't know if
that's a good idea.
I-I know that I have personal
days and that our kids
shouldn't be home
alone after school.
You know
I'm really sorry that I
can't be home right now,
but I love you guys.
And please tell Hazel I
want her to call me back.
Yeah, yeah, I'll tell her.
Bye.
Bye.
Yo, Hazel.
Hey, get in here.
Make a comment. Everybody does.
I mean, is it an inside joke
or are you just
really into sloths?
Dude, sloths are really
fucking cool, okay?
And we actually got a
lot in common, you know?
Are you super lazy?
That-that is the
biggest misconception
about sloths, okay?
They only sleep, like
like, ten hours a day.
You know? And
Did you know that they can
they can grow this, like, algae
on their fur that,
essentially, camouflages them
from other predators?
I feel like I'm learning
a lot about you right now.
Fuck off, dude.
- Here you are.
- Thanks.
I really like snow leopards.
S Huh.
Interesting. I-I-I would've
pegged you for more like a
like, a panda person.
- A panda?
- Yeah.
How dare you.
- All right, later, Killer.
- Bye.
About to break the dam ♪
I know I said ♪
Sorry.
It's catchy.
Okay.
What are the chances
that your brother
is gonna go on camera?
Because I have jack shit
for the next segment, and
Dr. Greg's getting antsy.
Aren't we interviewing Keith
- tomorrow morning?
-Yeah. It'll give us something.
I just I don't know
- how it'll all tie together.
- Oh, my God.
How long have y'all
been standing out here?
I was in the bathtub.
I didn't hear a peep.
Melissa.
Your face.
You're even more beautiful
- than your pictures.
- Oh
Y'all get in here before
the bears come for you.
Bears?
I'm-I'm so sorry.
Uh Who are you?
I'm Gillian. I'm the girlfriend.
- Oh, okay.
- Yeah. Yeah.
Shane didn't mention
that he had a girlfriend.
Oh, not Shane. Keith.
- Yeah. Hey. Hi.
- Hi.
- So you're from Florida?
- Yeah.
I'm from Okeechobee.
Tyler! You're a lie.
I grew up just across the
lake. Outside West Palm Beach.
Oh, rich Florida.
Oh. Honey, I wish.
I mean, like,
way outside. Mm.
Here you go.
I still don't get why you're
at my brother's house.
Oh, Shane lets me stay here
when I visit your dad.
And in exchange, I cook for him.
And y'all picked a
great night to visit
'cause I was getting ready
to heat up some barbecue.
- Mm.
- Yum.
Where is Shane?
He'll be home soon.
So
- how did you and Keith meet?
- We met on a
prison pen pal site
about two years ago.
I saw his-his profile, and I
just knew I had to communicate.
I mean, it was instinctive.
I'm a reiki healer,
so I'm an empath, you know?
Mm.
I feel things deeply.
And I felt something with Keith
like I'd never experienced.
He is a, he's a complex,
emotional being.
Who killed eight women.
Nine.
Isn't that why you're here?
So then he told
you about Heather?
He-he confessed to me first.
I'm the one who insisted
that he come forward.
Would you consider talking
to us about that on camera?
Why, I'd love to.
Wait, I don't understand
why he told you first.
Because he trusts me.
I'm-I'm helping him become
the man that he wants to be.
Look, your father, he
is searching for peace,
and that can only be achieved
by taking responsibility
for his wrongdoings.
But
his body
may be imprisoned, but his soul,
his higher self is
it's free to evolve.
I mean, you of all people
should understand that, Melissa.
All those years,
you just
held hostage
by your secret,
and now look at you.
You are slowly but surely
blossoming into the woman
that you're meant to be.
Well
He'll-he'll be thrilled
when I text him
to tell him I met you.
He can't text.
He got his phone
taken away from him.
He did. And he had to
spend some time in
solitary, but he's out now,
and they got him all
set up with a new one.
I mean, he is well
taken care of.
We're gonna need that number.
Of course.
I mean, we're all a team, right?
Oh, my God, did y'all want
to do that interview now
or after we eat?
Girl's got to have her
signature lip, am I right?
I get this from
a little boutique
down in Miami, and I
just love the name of it.
It's called Crimson Whimsy.
It's like a little bit dark,
but a little bit lighthearted.
- Like me.
- Yeah.
It's so lighthearted
and whimsical to
love a murderer.
Your dad said you were funny.
Okay.
Okay. So
- Hey, Ivy.
- Let's
Uh Gillian's lipstick
is called Crimson Whimsy.
Isn't that fun?
Okay. So, what does?
We need to talk right now.
- What?
- We cannot let her on camera.
She is deranged.
Okay.
She heard him confess,
that's corroboration.
And she's great TV.
No. She is obviously one
of my father's minions.
- It's weird.
- Melissa, I
- Hey.
- Hey.
What are you doing here?
Uh, I texted you,
like, a million times.
Uh, my phone's been off.
I thought we were, like,
meeting at your hotel.
Well, I thought
you'd, like, tell me
about Dad's girlfriend
living with you.
Hi. I'm Ivy. Uh, I
work with Melissa.
Okay.
Oh, good. Shane, you're home.
Hey, what the, what
the hell is this?
I told you. I'm here for work.
No-no interviews here.
Shane, it's my fault. I
told them it was okay.
Take this down, now.
That's fine. We should
be checking in anyways.
Um, do you mind if we
pick this up tomorrow,
- Gillian, at the hotel?
- No, sure, but
y'all can't leave now.
You got to stay and eat.
No. No, no, no. We've
overstayed our welcome.
- We can just skip.
- No, we haven't.
Have we, Shane?
All right, stay for dinner then.
Fine.
We're gonna stay for dinner.
It's fine.
So Aunt Deb's
putting out the pie.
Next thing she knows, she gets
stuck by lightning.
She's on fire.
They-they come in
That's so Florida.
Wait, controlled
burn, what's that?
Um All right, it's, um
We set them when
conditions are right
to prevent bigger fires
from happening later.
Lost almost a-a million
acres last year.
- What? Just in Oregon?
- Yeah.
Uh, it gets worse every year.
I mean, it's a
fucking losing battle.
You want me to freshen
that up for you?
I'm good with one.
One drink?
- Since when?
- Yeah.
Um You know, you don't
really visit as much
as you think you
do. Habits change.
Well, I've been really lucky to
witness some of those changes.
Especially his relationship
with your father.
Yeah. Mom said, uh,
you guys are real buddies now.
I don't know. I visit
him a few times a year.
We play chess. Not
really a big deal.
Well, I'm proud of him.
But Shane knows that.
I wanted y'all to
know that I'm real
I'm a real big fan of the show.
Even before Keith was on it.
It's great.
What about Shane?
Mm, no.
That is a fib.
He watched your episode.
So then you know why we're here?
Uh, no, not really.
We need evidence
to support Keith's confession.
And Melissa said that you
traveled with him a few times.
So we're just hoping
that you remember
something from
your time in Texas.
A man's life depends on it.
How is Elijah?
Was he granted a
stay of execution?
No. No, not yet.
- But we're hopeful.
- I mean, I assume
his attorney submitted a writ?
I mean, he at least deserves
an evidentiary hearing.
You seem to know a lot
- about the process.
- Oh.
Another boyfriend, another time.
It didn't work out.
Hey, Shane?
Did you go with Dad to
Texas when you were, like,
in eighth grade, do
you remember that?
Uh, I don't
Might've been. I-I don't
really have a great memory.
It was the year that
you lived with Dad,
I remember that.
Uh, what-what are
you asking me for?
Do you remember
what month that was?
Was it, like, winter break?
Or spring?
What about the trampoline?
Were you with Dad
when he bought it?
I could've sworn
that you were home, but
I don't know, were
you when he showed up?
I don't know.
You don't remember
if you were with Dad
when he bought a
gigantic trampoline?
No.
Um
does
does Heather look familiar?
Uh, you ever
by any chance meet her?
See her with Keith?
- Gosh, she was so pretty.
- Um
what about this place, you
ever eat here with your dad?
I don't remember.
What about this church?
You remember going here?
- I've never been there.
- Bullshit.
- You're lying.
- Melissa.
What? We went there, we
talked to the pastor.
He remembers Dad,
he remembers you.
And he saw Dad
What the fuck are you doing?
Like, what-what are you doing?
This is
this is fucking stupid, okay?
He-He's already
serving his time.
A man may get executed, Shane.
Oh, and what the fuck does
that have to do with me?
I mean, this is a
fucking TV show, okay?
You're not some, like, lawyers.
Don't take it personally.
He just got off a
three-day shift.
I think he just needs to rest.
I know my own brother, okay?
I guess that's a no on mud pie.
I'm sorry.
IVY It's fine.
So what do you think?
I think he's lying.
Okay, you deal
with your brother.
I'll go talk to your father.
So happy ♪
Happy ♪
Oh, so happy ♪
Happy ♪
Oh, oh-oh, oh ♪
So happy ♪
Happy ♪
Oh, oh-oh, oh ♪
So happy ♪
So happy. ♪
New kicks are dripping.
- Grandpa would be proud.
- Thanks.
And I still have some money left
over from what Josh gave me.
Heard you were making out with
Josh in his car yesterday,
by the way, you little slut.
What? No, I wasn't.
Who said that?
Like, everyone.
Summer's gonna be pissed.
Hazel?
There's a delivery
for you in the office.
- Hey.
- Hey!
If you, uh,
you tell me that you
gave up sugar too,
I think I'm just
gonna have to leave.
How? Your-your ride just left.
Oh.
I, um
brought you your
favorite doughnuts.
- Remember these?
- Mm-hmm.
I'm sorry about yesterday.
I didn't mean to ambush you.
It's fine.
I was thinking we could,
you know, like, hang out.
Here until tomorrow.
I kind of miss my baby brother.
Sorry, your brother's
kind of boring.
I have to
take a dresser to a friend's
place 30 miles away.
I'll help.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Okay.
Mm.
- Is this all Dad's stuff?
- Uh
most of it is Grandpa
Les's storage.
- Mm.
- Um, no one else wanted it.
- This is it.
- Ah!
I remember this from
Grandpa's house.
It still smells the same.
Yeah, Grandpa Les built it
for Dad when he was a kid.
It's a nice piece though.
Creepy clown paper for Dad?
Bit cliché, no?
Hey, have
have you talked to Becky lately?
Um, hmm.
Four months ago. You?
Mm.
Longer, I think.
- Still in Costa Rica?
- Switzerland.
Got a job teaching at some
fancy ski lodge or something.
No!
Oh, I love this couch.
Oh.
Hey, can we go?
Like, if-if we're gonna, um
hang out all day,
uh, no talk of Dad
or Texas.
You're just my sister, not some,
uh, TV producer, okay?
Fine.
Guess I won't bother asking
you for an interview.
That ain't happening.
Oh, God!
- You got it.
- Oh, God.
Oh! Fuck.
This is so heavy.
Grandpa Les was a decent
carpenter, I guess.
Yeah, how he found
the time to between
drinking and beating his
kids all day is beyond me.
All dads beat their
kids back then.
- Yeah.
- They just called it parenting.
You know, uh, Mom told me that
Grandpa Les used to hit on her.
Like, right in front of Dad.
What?
No way, that's
That's sick.
Yeah.
You're lucky you got
to change your name.
Yeah.
Did you send me that happy
face balloon, Summer?
I don't know what you
heard about me and Josh,
but nothing happened, I swear.
You think I sent you
a fucking balloon
because you hit on my boyfriend?
Well, I don't know who
else would send it, so
We only let you hang out with us
because of who your
grandfather is.
And, honestly, it's
getting kind of old.
You may think that you're cool,
but pretty soon Josh won't
even remember your name.
Oh, God.
There you go.
- Oh!
- Here you go.
Thanks.
Dude!
Hey.
Thank you so much.
Hey, there.
Here you go.
Hi.
Oh, yeah.
You can change it to
something more modern.
When are you due?
Two months.
- Oh, cool, do you know what you're having?
- A girl.
Oh, congrats.
- You're Shane's sister, right?
- Yeah.
I saw you on TV.
Well
You're just gonna want to oil
the wood every now and then.
It's old, but it's still
got a lot of life left.
Cool. Thanks.
- You want to help me?
- Yeah.
Honey, I don't
know if I want it.
It was Keith's probably.
Actually, uh, sorry.
Is this a family hand-me-down?
Uh
Yeah, no, it's been
in my garage forever.
It needs a new home.
But it wasn't your
dad's, was it?
Yeah, so this is what happens
when you go on TV
and you tell the whole
world our fucking secrets.
Melissa should be here.
Melissa wanted to be here,
but she's looking into
another lead, so
What kind of lead?
Come on, Keith.
Haven't I earned a little
bit of good will from you?
Okay.
After you dumped Heather's body,
you went back to Denton, right?
To pick up your load,
and buy the trampoline?
It is getting so
hard to concentrate
when these cuffs
are so damn tight.
You break the rules,
you lose the privileges.
Did you take the
I-20 or the I-30?
Uh, I really couldn't
tell you, Ivy.
Okay, um
Heather's guitar.
Uh, what did you do with it?
Did you smash it?
Leave it near the area?
Is Missy mad at me or something?
She's just busy.
She's just busy.
Um, okay, what about the wrench?
Do you remember what
you did with it?
Sorry
My neck
it is stiff as a board.
Don't get me started on my hip.
Getting old
it's not for pussies.
Look, Keith.
I'm sorry that you're
not feeling well.
How about we just
get through this and
let you get on your way?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
What, you think I got
some day spa back there,
I got to get to after
this, right, Ivy?
Keith, come on.
We need your help.
My word is not good enough.
It is, it is.
If you can give us the detail
that clinches it.
I don't think I want to
work that hard anymore.
Why?
Because this one is more
like Bobbi Crescenzi?
Yeah, I know about that.
About how you tried to
take credit for her murder
because someone
offered you money?
Guess who else knows about that?
That D.A. in Texas.
So if you want to convince him
that Heather is different,
that this is for real,
then you need to give
me something now.
I'm a killer, Ivy.
- Calm down, Jesperson.
- I'm so good at it,
that I'm famous for it.
Now I killed that girl.
I know that I killed her.
And I'm getting sick
and tired of trying
to prove it to
you, but I am done
jumping through hoops.
And you can turn that
thing off, turn it off.
Okay, just
That's fine, that's fine.
Just let's
Let's just hope that Melissa is
having better luck with Shane.
What's Shane got to do with it?
A pastor in Texas
puts you and Shane
at a church outside Jefferson
just around the time
of Heather's murder,
so maybe Shane's memory
is a little clearer.
Shane doesn't know anything,
and you leave him out of this.
What about those spirits?
They still follow you, Keith?
Can we go?
Tell Missy I missed her.
Oh, God.
- We're not taking any furniture right now.
- What?
It's in great shape.
Sorry, man.
You're really gonna
make me drive this thing
all the way home?
Man, I-I'll pay you
to take this thing.
Fuck!
How far is West Slope?
Uh, like, a little
more than an hour. Why?
That's where Brendan lived.
High school Brendan?
What-what do you want
with that asshole?
He owes me an apology.
The employee who opens the most
new accounts next
month will get
drumroll, please will
get a three-night stay
at a five-star resort in
Cabo, all expenses paid.
Yeah?
Actually, Ben, I
spoke with corporate,
and have an update on that.
We're going five nights.
Five nights? All
right. That's good.
That's, um, um, great.
Okay, well, let's-let's
talk about what
uh, the half-marathon.
I know, the half-marathon
for Habitat
- Ben, everything okay?
- Yeah. Everything's
Sorry, everything's fine.
But I think that's it.
I think that's, uh,
that's it, right, William?
Well, with the marathon,
we're still trying
to lock down some
corporate sponsorship.
Sorry to interrupt, but
I Family emergency.
So, uh, Judy can
take it from here.
Renee, thank you so much.
- Really, I owe you.
- No. Anytime.
We had fun, right, Max?
Look at me. Hey. What
are you doing home?
You're supposed to be at
karate with Ryder and his mom.
Ryder's not allowed to
play with me anymore.
They left without me.
What? Wait, wait, wait.
She-she just left you at
school? How did you get home?
Jesse's mom.
Hey, buddy, come
here. Look at me.
What do you mean that
Ryder's not allowed
to play with you anymore?
He's your best friend.
He said I have bad blood
because of Grandpa.
Is that true?
No.
No, not at all.
Not one bit.
I should get out of your hair.
Thank you so much.
I owe you, really.
Of course.
Hey, buddy, come on.
Let's, uh, let's
go inside, okay?
Come on. Ryder sucks
at karate anyhow.
Oh, this one looks nice.
- Yeah, but is it in our price range?
- Oh, yeah.
- And this is our, uh, corner section.
- Maybe this one over here.
- Look at that. Looks real nice.
- Going back
- in the corner.
- I like the look of this one.
I like it when you
don't wear a belt.
Makes it easier to grab you.
- It's pretty, uh
- Maybe you should sit in it.
Excuse me. Melissa?
Thought that was you.
What are you doing here?
Oh, I just
was, uh, in the area.
Oh, that's crazy.
I was just thinking about you.
I saw you went on Dr. Greg.
It's all over Facebook.
You looked, uh, well,
you look great, same as always.
You okay?
You swore you would never
tell anybody, you promised.
What? What are
you talking about?
The abortion.
Uh
I-I have never told
anyone about that.
Are you sure you didn't tell
a writer named Ennis Breeze?
Ennis?
What? No.
- I don't believe you.
- I didn't.
I didn't tell anyone.
I swear.
I didn't.
You didn't do this, fine.
- But you did other things.
- What?
Are you putting this on
the show or something?
No, I'm not putting
it on the show.
Nobody cares about
the man, okay?
Hey, you got kids
now, though. Right?
Me, too.
I got a wife and two boys
who can't stop winning
hockey trophies.
Can I see pictures of yours?
No, you can't, I No.
Whoa. Are you okay?
No, I'm not, I'm not okay.
- You all right?
- No.
Shane, hey, man.
It's been ages.
Hey, fuck off, Brendan.
Hey, w-what the
fuck was that about?
I need a drink.
What?
I get why people might
look at us funny.
But our relationship
does have its upsides.
Like, I never have to
wonder where my man is.
Uh, Keith isn't your first
prison relationship,
though, right?
I-I've dated inmates before.
But nothing like how
it is with Keith.
I mean, what made
you start writing
to prisoners to begin with?
Uh, my uncle did 15 years
on a narcotics charge,
when I was a kid.
So, my whole childhood,
my granny and I brought him
home-cooked meals every Sunday.
This was back when
that was still allowed.
You know, bit by bit,
they've stripped away every
ounce of human comfort
from prisoners.
It's horrible.
Just because somebody's
being punished,
that's no excuse to take
away their humanity.
And I have dozens of
prison pen pals, too.
Okay? It's not just
men, it's women.
People lookin' for a friend.
And the things that
they've told me.
There's just so much
pain inside those walls.
And I guess that's,
uh, what connected me.
Uh, I felt it.
My life wasn't easy.
So, these relationships,
this relationship,
has given me purpose.
Uh, I bring Keith joy.
And I-I remind him that
he's worthy of love.
And kindness. Like all of us.
Do you get that love, though?
Yeah, I know Keith loves me.
And what about his crimes?
I mean, this man has
killed nine women.
How do you sit with that?
Keith is imperfect.
Like all of us.
He's a damaged
being, no question.
But there is goodness there.
And I reflect that
goodness back to him.
And I make it shine brighter.
I never met anybody like Keith.
The way his soul just
gets inside yours.
Being with Keith,
it's changed me.
I-I'll never be the same.
Ugh. God.
What?
Uh
Max's best friend,
Ryder, his mom, Krista
Her name's Krista.
Krista said that she
doesn't want Max
in karate anymore
because he's got an
aggressive streak.
Because of Dad.
Ridiculous.
You see, this is why
I never had kids.
I thought it was because
you never had a girlfriend.
Shut up, I-I dated Shiloh
for, like, almost two years.
- Oh, really?
- Yeah.
We even went to couples therapy.
- No.
- Yeah.
Did it help?
Um, I-I think it helped her.
You know, one look under
my hood and she's like,
"I ain't buying that truck."
Um, see
You know, I'm gonna have to ask.
What?
If I think you fucked Gillian?
- I do.
- Yeah.
I'm not that crazy.
No, I-I mean about Brendan.
What the what
the hell was that?
No, it's not important.
Uh, must be kind of important.
It cost me a tank of gas.
I'll tell you, but
you're the one that didn't
want to talk about Dad tonight.
Do you remember the day
we found out he got arrested?
Come on, I need an eraser.
I had just found out
Brendan got me pregnant.
June Jesperson?
Yes?
You serious?
- You tell Mom?
- Um
I wanted to.
Um, but after that
I just
I couldn't tell her.
Brendan didn't
want it, I was 15,
I just found out that my dad
was a fucking serial killer,
we were so, so poor.
I didn't
I didn't have a choice.
Y-You don't have to
explain yourself, uh
I just wish you
would've told me.
Well, I talked. It's your turn.
W-We are talking.
Then tell me about
the church in Texas.
Or traveling with Dad.
I don't get why you're
being so cagey about it.
It's-it's bullshit, actually.
All right, here
we go, here we go.
Look, I-I told you
I don't remember, okay?
Shane.
Oh, my God. Shane.
Ugh.
- Where are you going?
- I'm going home.
You always do this,
bottle shit up.
It's fucking infuriating.
You always make it
about you, okay?
- No, I don't.
- Yes, you do.
Like you're the only
person he ever hurt.
He hurt all of us, okay?
And now my family's
feeling it, too.
Okay, well, in case you forgot,
his victims got it a
little bit worse than you.
I know that! Do you think I
fucking wanted any of this?
Nobody told you
to go on Dr. Greg.
- I had to.
- No, you didn't have to.
- Yes, I had to.
- No, you didn't, okay?
- Keep telling yourself that.
- I had to because
I-I could've stopped
Dad at the beginning
and I didn't, okay?
What do you mean?
I saw blood
on the ceiling in his house.
Dad said it was spaghetti sauce.
Why the fuck did I accept that?
I-I knew.
I didn't say something
then, that's
that's why I did this time.
Everything's a fucking mess.
- It's not your fault, okay?
- It's my fault.
No, it's my fault, okay?
I could've stopped
him and I didn't.
Of course I remember Texas.
Okay.
One morning that I-I woke up
in some, like, random
motel and, um
he, like, wasn't there
in the bed next to me.
- Mm-hmm.
- And I got this pit in my stomach.
And I-I found him
in-in his truck.
And he wasn't moving.
He'd taken, like, a
like a hundred
sleeping pills.
We went to the hospital.
Um, they pumped his stomach.
He woke up, he was,
like, so mad at me.
That he wouldn't-wouldn't
even, like, look at me.
Just a couple days
later, we were, uh,
back on the road,
you know? Um
And that's the
That's when he saw
the, uh, the ch
the church.
- Find God Here Church?
- Yeah.
That was December '94.
He killed two women after that.
Jeanine in January.
And Louise in March.
I kind of
I take the blame
for those women.
- For that.
- No, Shane.
I do, because
if-if he would've just died,
- then they'd still be alive.
- No. It's not your fault.
And now you, like, come
up here out of nowhere
and you tell me it's not two.
It's-it's, like, three?
Like, I don't even, like,
know what to do with that.
It's not your fault.
- It is my fault.
- No, it's not.
- Come here.
- It's my fault.
- Dad?
- Yeah.
I had a bad dream.
Ash was here.
And I think Grandpa was
- trying to get in, too.
- Hey, hey.
Come here, buddy.
Come here. Sit down.
I'm so sorry.
That is never gonna
happen again, okay?
I promise.
You want some peppermint tea?
No. I want a pit bull.
You don't need a pit bull.
You've got a dad to
protect you, all right?
I don't think it was Brendan
who opened his mouth
about the abortion.
I couldn't admit it, but
there's one other
person who knew.
How's my Missy girl?
Oh.
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Really, I am. I'm so sorry.
Oh.
I'm so sorry, baby.
Do you want to know
why I-I-I did it?
No.
Listen, I-I know
all this is really
hard to understand.
And I I know
this place is scary.
But I want you to just
ignore all that, okay?
Just look at me here.
I'm still just Dad.
Hmm?
I'm your dad.
And besides, I mean,
I always did look
great in orange.
I, um
I did something bad.
And I
I just don't know
who else I can tell.
W-Whatever it is,
you can tell me.
Because you know I'm gonna
love you no matter what.
I got pregnant.
Well.
That's not bad.
That's
That's good. That's
I mean, you're young,
but-but you're tough.
I know you can do it.
- No.
- I will be
I'm not, no.
I had an abortion.
I didn't have any choice.
So you're a killer.
Just like me.
You deserve to be right there
in the cell right next to mine.
You know that?
No Tyler and Ivy?
No cameras?
Just me.
I hear that, uh,
you met Gillian.
She's a real
firecracker, isn't she?
I didn't come here
to make small talk.
I came here to tell you
that I know what you did,
I know what you said
about me, and I'm done.
You won't see me anymore,
this is my goodbye.
You sure went through
a lot of trouble
to come down here
and say that to me.
I guess Elijah's gonna fry?
- Right?
- Oh, I'm not done with that,
I will follow through
with what I started.
I am done talking to you.
All over a little
abortion story?
You know what they say,
bad press is good press, right?
I don't understand you.
I keep trying.
But I never will.
It's because you can get so high
and mighty sometimes,
that I just have to remind
you of who you really are.
You're a killer.
Just like your old man.
You want to know why I
had an abortion, Dad?
Because I was raped.
What you did to those
women you killed,
how you beat them,
you raped them,
you terrified them
That happened to me, too.
I'm not like you at all.
I'm like them.
I'm sorry.
I hate that someone hurt
you. I should've been there.
You're my little girl.
My baby, Missy.
You deserved a dad
that protected you
who showed you
nothing but love.
You're right.
I did.
Missy. Missy.
Don't you want
the murder weapon?
The wrench I killed
Heather with?
