The Hunting Party (2025) s02e08 Episode Script
Elliot Carr

Previously on "The Hunting Party"
It's called the Pit.
It's home to the most dangerous
and violent criminals in history,
all of whom the world
believes are dead
or at least it was until the blast hit.
I'm I'm not really sure
what I'm supposed to say.
You don't have to say anything.
This can be whatever you want it to be.
Reform is possible, Rebecca.
And I'm living proof.
How'd it go with Lazarus?
I think she's one of
the most dangerous sociopaths
I've ever met.

A pair of shoes tells
the world who you are.
Show me the shoes,
and I'll show you the man.
Polyester, rubber, foam
they're cheap, synthetic, weak.
The most beautiful shoes
are made of leather
because it is the skin
of the conquered.
Every step is a reminder
of who's really in control.
Every day I see you looking in ♪
I'll be the smoothest thing ♪
But no matter how exotic its origin,
a dead animal is just meat and skin,
wasted in the hands of the unskilled.
But in the hands of
a master craftsman, however,
that same animal can be formed into
an exquisite display of power.
The right shoe is a celebration
of your place
at the top of the food chain.
You don't need to sell me.
I flew in from LA to visit your shop.
You're a long way from home.
It's all part of the adventure.
Speaking of which, I was so hoping
you might have something a bit more
exotic.
More exotic than alligator?
Not to be rude, Mr. Carr,
but I didn't plan a trip
for something I can get
at Ralph Lauren.
[chuckles]
I may have something in the back.
What is it?
Well, just a fine pair of stilettos
fashioned from the rare
Eastern black rhino.
And you've failed in everything ♪
That comes to mind

[whistling]
There you are.
What is that supposed
to mean, she graduated?
So that was a term Dulles used
to describe her being rehabilitated.
If Colonel Lazarus went from
the Pit into the military,
do you think that there are others?
Let's just deal with
one mystery at a time.
Right, let's stay focused
on Lazarus for now.
I'm starting to get the sense
that this whole attack on Cyrus
and the transport was just a false flag
to give her the pretext to seize
control of the whole operation.
Yeah, she wanted to take
command of the whole task force
we need to figure out what for.
She doesn't exactly
seem like the chatty type.
Why don't I talk to her?
[suspenseful music]
She left the door open
for more conversation.
I could, uh
I could reach out to her.
Are you sure that's
a good idea considering
She's my mother?
I get it. But I can do this.
I want to do this.
That could put you in
a very uncomfortable position,
or worse.
Look, no one is more curious
about this woman than I am.
But I'm under no illusions
as to who she really is.
I can remain objective.
[phones buzzing]
Well, here we go.
Set it up.
But please, just be careful.
Who knows what she's capable of?
♪
A partially-skinned body was just found
in the trunk of an abandoned vehicle
in New Haven, Connecticut,
identified as David Stevens,
a local reported missing
by his coworkers a week ago.
DNA on the trash bag matches
Pit escapee Elliot Carr.
The Connecticut Cobbler.
Excuse me, did you just say cobbler?
Oh, yeah, sure did.
Carr was a high-end shoemaker
out of New Haven, Connecticut,
specializing in rare and
exotic handmade leathers.
Before Carr was caught,
he ran a successful
boutique business
with high-profile clients
from all over the world.
He was known for his black market,
bespoke leather goods
made from the hides
of endangered animals
elephants, rhinos, stingrays,
and people.
He would skin them alive
and then make shoes from human leather.
Okay, yep, I'm done.
Diagnosed as a malignant narcissist,
he had focus on power,
control, and dominance,
killing nine people over ten years,
making one pair of shoes from each.
This dude actually sold shoes
he made from people?
No, no, he kept those ones for himself.
Oh, yeah, that's better, then.
He targeted people he saw
as confident and powerful,
those that had command
over their own lives.
Not a surprise that his sociopathy
stemmed from a difficult childhood.
Let me guess, daddy issues?
Uh, uncle issues, actually.
When he was young,
he apprenticed under his uncle,
a well-known shoemaker,
who ridiculed and berated him,
instilling a desperate craving
for power over his uncle
and control over his own life.
Which is why, at 17, he snapped,
killing his uncle before skinning him.
So he made shoes out of his uncle?
Um, boots, technically.
Ugh, I don't know why,
but that is so much worse.
Yeah, he even wore them
to his first police interview,
showing power over the cops
and his uncle.
Public trophies like this
are not uncommon in serials,
but this sort of exhibitionism,
that's rare.
- That's one hell of a flex.
- All right, get going.
We'll send you the files in the air.
♪
Some people just have a way
of moving through the world, you know?
It's how they talk,
how they carry themselves, their walk.
Power.
So self-assured and in control.
My uncle was like that.
Richard.
He was a man among men,
until he was a shoe.
For days, I held his life in my hands.
The tables had turned.
I was God, and he was
an engorged tick.
I plucked him between my fingers,
squeezed until [door buzzer blares]

Good news, your execution

Please, just kill me already.
Elliot received what was called
the memento mori treatment
over his decade at the Pit.
He'd be abruptly taken for
his execution at random times.
And then in the final moments,
they would call it off.
Sounds like a bunch of
psychological torture to me.
Yeah, how do they even
come up with this stuff?
There's actually a precedent for it.
In Japan, death row inmates
aren't told the date or time
of their execution.
One day, they're just yanked
from their cell and killed.
Keeps them in a near-constant
state of expectation.
Still sounds like torture to me.
Look, I'm not defending it.
But in his file here, it says
that the treatment caused him
to have a complete lack of
control over his own life,
forcing him to experience
the same uncertainty
and helplessness that his victims felt.
[suspenseful music]
What you're doing to me
is wrong.
How is your treatment here
any different
from what you did to your victims?
You left them hanging from a rack,
wondering when the end would come.
No one deserves this.
This is wrong.
That's very good, Elliot.
Certainly seemed to
knock him down a peg or two.
I mean, his outward demeanor
might have changed,
but he's still killing people.
And skinning them.
Don't forget the skinning part.

♪
All right, we've got
a strange one for you here
Mr. David Stevens, 42 years young,
presenting as a stab wound
to the abdomen.
Do you know what he was stabbed with?
From the looks of it,
I'd say a smaller buck knife
is the likely assault weapon.
I'm sorry, what's strange about that?
That's not the strange part.
This wound was inflicted about a week
prior to his time of death.
So the stab wound
isn't the cause of death?
No, but it was the initiating event.
Official cause of death, sepsis.
So he gets stabbed in the stomach,
but he doesn't die for another week.
I told you, strange,
especially because the initial
wound was very survivable
if he had received medical treatment.
We were told that our victim
here was partially skinned.
[suspenseful music]
Stranger and stranger.
Yeah, that's definitely our guy.
Just the one section.
Perps often remove tattoos
or other identifying features
from their victims postmortem
as a way to throw off the police.
You're saying he was
skinned after he died.
- Are you sure?
- Positive.

Good, good, good.
Apologies, gentlemen.

Hey, you alive?
What is happening here?
Who is this guy?
Where are we?
- Where has he taking us?
- K
What?
Kill me.
Please, kill me.
[breathing heavily]
It doesn't make any sense.
Elliot's MO was never stabbing.
Much less waiting around for
his victims to die of infection.
Maybe he wasn't waiting.
I mean, he used to enjoy
his victims' suffering, right?
Stabbing a guy, watching him
slowly die of sepsis
sounds like suffering to me.
Yeah, but he would always
flay his victims
while they were
still alive, not postmortem.
Maybe he's out of practice.
Hey, guys, we just
got a hit on our victim,
David Stevens's credit card.
It was just used to
call an Uber downtown.
He's being picked up
by a Black Toyota Corolla.
Where's the Uber right now?

Driver, stay in the car.
Passenger, get out with your hands up.
It's not him, guys. It's not him.
Hands behind your back.
Look what I found.
Sure looks like
the murder weapon to me.
Where is he?
I ain't got no idea
what you're talking about.
Where is Elliot?
Who? I want my lawyer.
Got him. Perp's name is Iggy Robertson.
Okay, Iggy, let's see
what you've been up to.
Whoa, that is a lot of
petty theft charges.
- He stole a car.
- No, that's a cat.
Apparently Iggy and
the former Mrs. Iggy
had a custody dispute.
Over a pet?
Someone stole my dog,
they better leave the country.
Noted.
Drunk and disorderly.
Drunk and disorderly.
Oh public urination
twice in one day.
- On St. Patrick's Day.
- Been there.
[chuckles] Okay, this guy is a moron,
but I don't think he murdered anyone.
- Do you wanna get this over to the team?
- On it.
How many times do I need to say it?
Lawyer.
Okay, we're not those
kind of cops, Iggy.
Right now, this is just a conversation,
but it can change.
[tense music]
His name was David Stevens.
You stole his credit card.
Now he's dead.
That's a big problem for you, Iggy.
Yeah, not from where I'm sitting.
[chuckles]
Right, okay,
well, from where I'm sitting,
we found the murder weapon
in your back pocket
with the victim's blood on it.
Look, we pulled your rap sheet,
all right?
You're a small-time thief,
not a killer.
So if there's any other
explanation for this,
now is the time because you do
not wanna go down for this.
We believe your story,
but the local PD out there,
they are very eager to pin this
on you and call it a day.
So help us help you.
Look, I robbed him, okay?
- No, actually stabbed him.
- It was a robbery.
People don't just give up their wallets
if you tickle them, so I
I gave him a little poke.
I didn't kill the guy.
And I sure as hell didn't
do whatever the hell that is.
Did you see anyone else at the time?
Did anyone see you?
When I ran off,
the guy was still alive.
No way he should have died
from what I did.
I'm not a murderer, I swear.
♪
Am I free to go or what?
Dude, you stabbed a guy.
♪
Assuming he's telling the truth,
that would mean Elliot
got his hands on David
after Iggy stabbed him and ran off.
Well, whatever happened
after Iggy left him,
that's the blank we're trying to fill.
I mean, somebody stabs me,
the first thing I'm doing
is calling an ambulance.
Yeah, me too.
Hey, Morales,
can you pull up the 911 logs
from the night
David Stevens got stabbed?
On it.
According to cell phone records,
the night of his robbery,
David called 911
to report he'd been mugged and stabbed.
But it says here the ambulance arrived
five minutes later
to find an empty alleyway,
and David was nowhere to be found.
Okay, so he gets mugged,
calls an ambulance,
and then disappears?
Well, because Elliot abducted him.
For the sake of argument, let's say
Carr is out prowling the city
that night for easy targets.
He just so happens to come across a guy
with a stab wound in the five minutes
before an ambulance shows up?
I mean, that's a very tight window.
We gotta talk to the EMT.
♪
Do you remember a call
about a stab victim
at the intersection of Chapel
and York within the week?
It ended up being a no-show.
Chapel and York, yeah.
But it wasn't a no-show.
What do you mean?
A deli worker on the corner told me
a guy got picked up by another wagon
two minutes before we got there.
How is that even possible?
Emergency rigs poach each
other's calls all the time.
We're private companies in
competition with each other.
That's just the nature of
the business in this city.
Hell, I poached a call this morning.
Ambulance needed at 963 Woodlawn Drive.
Female, 73, some vision loss.
Speaking of which, good luck.
[siren wailing]
What are we thinking?
Thinking that if another ambulance
picked up David Stevens,
it was likely Elliot Carr.
If he'd stolen an ambulance,
it'd be reported and can be tracked.
And where would he get
an ambulance, anyway?
Auction, junkyard, eBay, Craigslist.
Okay, so there are plenty of places.
If he was poaching calls,
he would need a scanner too.
You're right he was listening in
on emergency dispatches.
Why go through all
the trouble of tracking
and abducting injured people?
The memento mori treatment.
It put him in the shoes of his victim
and forced him to face the pain
of not having
self-determination over his own life,
which is likely why he didn't
kill David Stevens himself.
By abducting an injured person,
in Elliot's mind,
his hands were clean.
Their fate was sealed
the minute they called 911.
That's why it took David
a whole week to die of sepsis.
Carr just waited for him
to die on his own.
Yeah.
So he's gone from hunter to scavenger.
I mean, ethically, it makes no sense,
yet, somehow, complete sense.
Yeah, the Pit never dealt
with the core trauma,
so consequently, the compulsion
to create shoes continued,
which means he's likely out there
sourcing his next victim as we speak.
This is his third heart attack.
Maybe if you didn't eat everything
in sight between meals, you
wouldn't be in this position.
Don't worry, ma'am.
Your husband's gonna be just fine.
Thank you. Where are you taking him?
You can meet us at
Connecticut Saints Hospital.

♪
- Thank you, officer.
- Mm-hmm.
Victim's name is Lonnie Sayward.
His wife called 911 about an hour ago.
He was picked up by our killer
just before the real EMT showed up.
Witnesses said they saw Lonnie jump out
of the back of the ambulance,
try to make a run for it
before he collapsed.
The ambulance just sped off.
Carr must have gotten spooked when
his victim tried to escape.
No, he didn't just escape.
This guy served.
He would have fought back.
Yeah, well, a heart attack
isn't a stabbing.
Elliot wasn't expecting a fight.
He's gonna be looking
for another victim.
He didn't get to do what
he was planning with Lonnie.
Officer.
Okay, so you're
you're thinking we should set a trap?
Memento mori treatment caused Elliot
to lose any desire to actually
harm or kill his victim.
So now, he's targeting
those that will die
without medical intervention.
So let's bait him.
Well, we'll need a serious wound.
And one that's likely to
be fatal, not a heart attack.
Yeah, how about a young man
with a head injury?
Mm, good idea.
Figures.
Morales, I need you to reach out
to every ambulance company
in New Haven.
Tell them their drivers
need to stand down
near New Haven Green.
We're about to make a 911 call.
- You got it.

Guys, I need you to alert
every ambulance dispatch in New Haven.
Tell them to ignore a 911 alert
about a young male victim
with a head injury.
911, what's your emergency?
I'm in a parking lot, and there's a man
that's fallen near New Haven Green.
I think he's really hurt his head.
You guys gotta send
an ambulance, quick.
Okay, ma'am, we're sending
an ambulance to you now.
- Is the man breathing?
- Uh, no, no, I mean, maybe.
Yeah, just barely, though.

No, my money's on something meaningful,

Oh, high school memories.

actually dying, right?
You don't need to get
all sentimental on us.
What about you, Bex,

Like I'm telling you.
I wonder if she has the barcode.

Maybe I'll ask her over dinner.

Dinner?
Yeah, I reached out to her,

Why send shoes made of someone
else to an old victim's family?
I mean, I think logic left the building
when he started making
loafers out of people.
No, no, no, he's got a reason.
He's trying to say something.
Maybe he's taunting them,
letting them know he's still out there.
Either way, if we could find out
who these shoes are made of,
maybe we can find where
Carr is making them.

♪
The shoes that he was sending
it's not a threat. It's an apology.
The Pit scientists, they took
away his desire to kill people,
so much so that
he became actively repentant
to the victims and the families
for the horrors that he inflicted.
In his deranged mind,
he's expressing remorse, making amends.
So the ultimate "I'm sorry"
gift to the families
of the people he turned into shoes
is a pair of shoes made out of himself?
An eye for an eye.
But if he's using his own
skin to make these shoes,
why is he still abducting
and skinning people?
Best guess?
He's using the victims as skin donors.
What?
If Elliot wants to stay alive,
he needs to replace his
own skin to make the shoes.
He thinks that he's found
a sustainable method.
But that's not how skin grafts work.
Hey, Morales, if Elliot has
been applying skin grafts
to himself without
proper medical attention,
then he's at risk of becoming septic.
If he's in as bad shape as that,
then he's up a creek without
access to medical supplies.
Well, if he still wants to
finish this horror apology tour,
he's gonna need some antibiotics
and some bandages
to treat himself first.
Hey, Morales, can you check into
any medical supply offices, hospitals,
or clinics that might have
had a recent break-in?
I'm not seeing any break-ins
at hospitals or clinics.
- Oh, no.
- Morales, what is it?
An emergency room doctor
by the name of Thomas McMillan
was just reported missing
from a nearby trauma center.
I'm pulling CCTV up now.
[keyboard clacking]
What the?
Okay, Bex, we've got a bad angle.
We can't tell which direction
they're headed,
but he definitely took the doctor.
There are no tracking cameras
in the area,
but based on the car's age,
it's not gonna have GPS.
Um, I'm working on options now.
- Hey, can I see the shoe box?
- Yeah, sure.
What is it? What are you thinking?
Elliot took immense pride
in his shoes, right?
I mean, apart from being
a deranged killer,
he thought of himself first
and foremost as an artist.
So it's no surprise that he's
putting these apology shoes
in a branded Carr shoe box.
Right, but how does that
help us find him?
Because where did he get the box?
It's not like stores are
selling the shoes anymore.
So where could he have found
an old pair of his shoes
that would have come
in packaging like that?
- Morales?
- Already on it.
I won't do this.
He's already dead.

A partially-skinned body was just found
in the trunk of an abandoned vehicle
in New Haven, Connecticut,
identified as David Stevens,
a local reported missing
by his coworkers a week ago.
DNA on the trash bag matches
Pit escapee Elliot Carr.
The Connecticut Cobbler.
Excuse me, did you just say cobbler?
Oh, yeah, sure did.
Carr was a high-end shoemaker
out of New Haven, Connecticut,
specializing in rare and
exotic handmade leathers.
Before Carr was caught,
he ran a successful
boutique business
with high-profile clients
from all over the world.
He was known for his black market,
bespoke leather goods
made from the hides
of endangered animals
elephants, rhinos, stingrays,
and people.
He would skin them alive
and then make shoes from human leather.
Okay, yep, I'm done.
Diagnosed as a malignant narcissist,
he had focus on power,
control, and dominance,
killing nine people over ten years,
making one pair of shoes from each.
This dude actually sold shoes
he made from people?
No, no, he kept those ones for himself.
Oh, yeah, that's better, then.
He targeted people he saw
as confident and powerful,
those that had command
over their own lives.
Not a surprise that his sociopathy
stemmed from a difficult childhood.
Let me guess, daddy issues?
Uh, uncle issues, actually.
When he was young,
he apprenticed under his uncle,
a well-known shoemaker,
who ridiculed and berated him,
instilling a desperate craving
for power over his uncle
and control over his own life.
Which is why, at 17, he snapped,
killing his uncle before skinning him.
So he made shoes out of his uncle?
Um, boots, technically.
Ugh, I don't know why,
but that is so much worse.
Yeah, he even wore them
to his first police interview,
showing power over the cops
and his uncle.

Elliot received what was called
the memento mori treatment
over his decade at the Pit.
He'd be abruptly taken for
his execution at random times.
And then in the final moments,
they would call it off.
Sounds like a bunch of
psychological torture to me.
Yeah, how do they even
come up with this stuff?
There's actually a precedent for it.
In Japan, death row inmates
aren't told the date or time
of their execution.
One day, they're just yanked
from their cell and killed.
Keeps them in a near-constant
state of expectation.
Still sounds like torture to me.
Look, I'm not defending it.
But in his file here, it says
that the treatment caused him
to have a complete lack of
control over his own life,
forcing him to experience
the same uncertainty
and helplessness that his victims felt.

No, but it was the initiating event.
Official cause of death, sepsis.

the night of his robbery,
David called 911

But it says here the ambulance arrived
five minutes later
to find an empty alleyway,
and David was nowhere to be found.
Okay, so he gets mugged,
calls an ambulance,
and then disappears?
Well, because Elliot abducted him.

Carr is out prowling the city

What are we thinking?
Thinking that if another ambulance
picked up David Stevens,
it was likely Elliot Carr.
If he'd stolen an ambulance,
it'd be reported and can be tracked.
And where would he get
an ambulance, anyway?
Auction, junkyard, eBay, Craigslist.
Okay, so there are plenty of places.
If he was poaching calls,
he would need a scanner too.
You're right he was listening in
on emergency dispatches.
Why go through all
the trouble of tracking
and abducting injured people?
The memento mori treatment.
It put him in the shoes of his victim
and forced him to face the pain
of not having
self-determination over his own life,
which is likely why he didn't
kill David Stevens himself.
By abducting an injured person,
in Elliot's mind,
his hands were clean.
Their fate was sealed
the minute they called 911.
That's why it took David
a whole week to die of sepsis.
Carr just waited for him
to die on his own.
Yeah.
So he's gone from hunter to scavenger.
I mean, ethically, it makes no sense,
yet, somehow, complete sense.
Yeah, the Pit never dealt
with the core trauma,
so consequently, the compulsion
to create shoes continued,
which means he's likely out there
sourcing his next victim as we speak.
This is his third heart attack.

Look, man, I don't know why

That is why you're here.
I need your help.
I need you to put his skin on me.

The shoes that he was sending
it's not a threat. It's an apology.
The Pit scientists, they took
away his desire to kill people,
so much so that
he became actively repentant
to the victims and the families
for the horrors that he inflicted.
In his deranged mind,
he's expressing remorse, making amends.
So the ultimate "I'm sorry"
gift to the families
of the people he turned into shoes
is a pair of shoes made out of himself?
An eye for an eye.
But if he's using his own
skin to make these shoes,
why is he still abducting
and skinning people?
Best guess?
He's using the victims as skin donors.
What?
If Elliot wants to stay alive,
he needs to replace his
own skin to make the shoes.
He thinks that he's found
a sustainable method.
But that's not how skin grafts work.
Hey, Morales, if Elliot has
been applying skin grafts
to himself without
proper medical attention,
then he's at risk of becoming septic.
If he's in as bad shape as that,
then he's up a creek without
access to medical supplies.
Well, if he still wants to
finish this horror apology tour,
he's gonna need some antibiotics
and some bandages
to treat himself first.
Hey, Morales, can you check into
any medical supply offices, hospitals,
or clinics that might have
had a recent break-in?
I'm not seeing any break-ins
at hospitals or clinics.
- Oh, no.
- Morales, what is it?
An emergency room doctor
by the name of Thomas McMillan
was just reported missing
from a nearby trauma center.
I'm pulling CCTV up now.
[keyboard clacking]
What the?
Okay, Bex, we've got a bad angle.
We can't tell which direction
they're headed,
but he definitely took the doctor.
There are no tracking cameras
in the area,
but based on the car's age,
it's not gonna have GPS.
Um, I'm working on options now.
- Hey, can I see the shoe box?
- Yeah, sure.
What is it? What are you thinking?
Elliot took immense pride
in his shoes, right?
I mean, apart from being
a deranged killer,
he thought of himself first
and foremost as an artist.
So it's no surprise that he's
putting these apology shoes
in a branded Carr shoe box.
Right, but how does that
help us find him?
Because where did he get the box?
It's not like stores are
selling the shoes anymore.
So where could he have found
an old pair of his shoes
that would have come
in packaging like that?
- Morales?
- Already on it.
I won't do this.
He's already dead.

Elliot, I know what you're doing, okay?
You're trying to make amends,
but this is not how you do it.

He needs saving. You can save him.
He's already dead.
No. No, he's not.
He's alive. But you're killing him.
I know that you don't think
that you are hurting people,
but you are, all right?
He needs medical attention,
and you are keeping him from that.

Don't let another death
be on your hands, Elliot.

Did you find the shoes?
Yeah, Elliot, we found them.
They didn't go out, did they?
No.
They need to understand that I'm sorry.
Tell them I'm sorry.

You can ask.
Okay.
Why did you take over inmate recovery?
You forced Mallory out,
kicked Hassani off transport.
Why?
Listen, all my life,
I've had labels put on me.
Sociopath.
Serial killer. Inmate.
Mother.

I suppose they all capture
