- What motel? - What time? - I was with you.
I was asleep.
Your dad called me.
- What? - He said he needed to talk to you about something urgent.
About your family.
That he couldn't reach you.
So I went to go meet him at that motel off of 270, and when I got there this guy, he was leaving and your dad was nowhere to be found.
So where is her dad? Why were you at that motel? Why you got all these pictures of her? Man, I look, I I mean, I don't even know where to start.

He took me and my mom there a few times as well.
Weekends at the lake.
I was almost too young to even remember it.
I was wondering if you would.
I left that little stuffed dog there, as well.
Didn't I? What are you talking about? He's my brother.
Half-brother.
[DARK, REVELATORY MUSIC.]
Hey, I know.
I know.
What you have to understand is, I didn't know about you until recently.
When I was a kid, my My dad was always away traveling on business.
My mom was the other woman, and I didn't even know.
I didn't know you existed.
But when I found out, it all made sense.
We both have this thing.
We both have it.
We didn't ask for it, and we got it from the same man who couldn't love us.
Nobody will ever understand you the way that I understand you.
This isn't how I wanted you to find out.
I just didn't want you to think I was part of Dad's - You lied to me.

[SINISTER MUSIC.]
[GARAGE DOOR CLATTERING.]
[DOGS SNORTING AND PANTING.]
We got a 10-54.
Probable 187, and you're gonna need to send Animal Services.
You could have mentioned there's 20 fucking dogs - in there eating him.
- They're not eating him.
- They're just chewing on him.
- Isn't there anything that you want to say about why there's a dead guy - in your garage? - I put him there last night.
Did you kill him? I did.
I killed them all.
Who is "all"? I did it for her.
She didn't know anything about it.
Killed who all? Oh, I killed my dad.
He's in the garage.
I killed their friend Jason and the sensory deprivation tank lady.
Oh, I almost forgot, if you move some bags of fertilizer at the back of the garage, you'll find the O'Connells.
They used to live here.
I killed them because I needed to live in their house.
But between you and me, they were pretty much on their last legs, anyways, so Put your hands behind your back, Ian.
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.
BOTH: If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.
You're an asshole.
Let's go.
[RADIO CHATTER.]
This is my fault.
Don't say that.
You know, when I was little I just thought he left.
It wasn't till I got older that my mom told me about the other family.
[RADIO CHATTER.]
I want a family with you.
What? That's what I've always wanted.
I'm scared.
So am I.
No, I mean of myself.
I'm fucked up.
I'm off-balance.
