I love summer.
-Why is that, sweetie? -Because everything's perfect.
[phone rings]
Hello?
Yes, she sure is.
-It's your grandmother calling. -To wish me a happy birthday?
[inhales]
[brakes screeching]
[woman screaming]
[woman] No!
[car horn blaring]
Mommy?
Amy?
-Amy! -Mommy?
Mommy? Mommy, wake up! [sobs] Mommy, no! Mommy, don't.
Mommy, please wake up. Please.
Mommy! Mommy!
Mommy!
-[indistinct chatter] -[camera shutter clicking]
I'm guessing you didn't perform an autopsy in here.
[woman] This is how we found her.
Jesus.
What do you got so far?
[woman] A slight abrasion at the clavicular notch
suggests that the cut began here, just below the jugular,
and then went all the way down to the pubic symphysis.
The skin pulled back to the sides, it shows that it was one long, clean cut.
No hesitations, no mistakes.
And then, for the ribs, they cut those one after another.
Any idea how?
I mean for the incision, I'd suggest that the killer used a small instrument,
most likely a scalpel.
And for the ribs, used some sort of shears.
They reached in,
grabbed the floating ribs here and here. [clicks tongue]
Okay.
Then the killer removed the organs one by one, kidney, liver,
spleen, pancreas.
And then, at some point, that killed her.
-She was alive for this? -Yeah. Oh, yeah.
She could live through some of the abdominal organs being removed.
I mean... I think that was the intention.
You can, if you were so inclined,
choose the orders of the organs so that,
it would make her live as long as possible.
I mean, whoever did this, definitely has some knowledge
-and some skill. -Like a surgeon? A doctor?
I don't think a surgeon.
Maybe a coroner, or--
No, I think you should look at somebody who maybe works in a funeral home.
Greenberg.
Wait a second.
Kaili Greenberg. Kaili.
Kaili Greenberg lived at Clayborn Apartments.
The same as Kit Jennings, last year?
-Like Frank Dixon this morning. -The hood ornament?
Someone's targeting the residents.
Why her? I mean, a teacher.
And why... this?
-It's a lot different than an axe. -Yeah.
An axe is angry. This...
It's clinical.
No.
It's cruel.
Hey.
Hi.
So, uh, what crazy plans you got for tonight?
Nothing exciting.
No? No, uh drug-fueled sex orgies?
No, that's Wednesdays, after knitting.
Okay.
I'm probably gaming...
in VR.
Me in another world.
Sounds trippy.
Maybe you can show me sometime.
Sure.
Are you gay?
Why?
Oh.
-Whoa. -Yeah. [chuckles]
I-- I should've told you. I sprinkled a little dust in that.
[Amy coughing]
So, like, when I'm high, like, super, super high...
-Hmm. -...from like oxy, coke, molly...
all that running through my veins.
When I'm beside someone,
I'm just elated, alive, you know?
That's how it is for me with VR.
-You fuck on VR? -No. I feel alive.
Surrounded and safe.
The world's too...
-Tense? -Yeah.
That's what I want, though. I want the too much of it all, you know?
-I even looked into trepanation. -Hmm?
You drill a hole in your skull.
-Why? -[chuckles] Gets you high.
Right in the middle of your forehead.
-Let the world in. -Oh. No, see, I'm disappearing into here.
I just want to drill holes...
in everything.
Okay, I've flirted with you and you give me nothing.
I make my moves. You have zero reaction.
-You were making moves? -Yes.
And you barely even look at me.
Like I understand if you were gay, but fuck me,
but you probably won't, because I bet you're asexual.
Why do you care? Hmm?
Because I'm obsessed with sex and I'm a bi poly slut.
You know, some people look around and they say,
"Yeah, no, maybe, definitely not."
The people they would or wouldn't fuck.
Not really.
-Okay, well, people do that. -Okay.
-Okay? -All right.
-All right? -[Amy laughs]
But with me, I fuck...
everyone.
I can't imagine what it'd be like to be in your world.
Can you imagine...
if we could see each other's lives through VR?
There is a camera at my gaming place.
But I think you'd get bored.
-No. -Mm.
No way.
We're kind of perfect for each other.
But I'm not into sex and you're all about it.
You could teach me restraint, maybe some control.
-Something I know nothing about. -What, and you'd teach me about sex?
I'd teach you how to...
how to feel it all.
Everything.
[door opens]
[Amy clears throat] This is my partner, Xander.
-Kit was just-- -I was worried about you.
Didn't know we opened up a strip club in the laundry room.
Yeah, sorry, man. I've been in that shirt all week.
-I'm okay. -I didn't even know you owned a shirt,
so that's, like, totally news to me.
All right, maybe I'll see you guys around, huh?
Maybe the Solstice party.
You should come.
It's gonna be crazy.
Okay. All right.
[Violet] Oh, my God.
Kaili. Kaili. Can you believe it?
-She finally get a boyfriend? -No, she's been killed.
-What? -Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Hacked open at the school by the Druid. All the kids saw it.
There were pieces of her scattered around the classroom
like a flesh and bone piñata.
-That's horrible. -Oh, my God, oh, my God,
I'm sorry. I'm just imagining. I'm imagining what Kaili went through.
She's lying there helpless,
watching as the Druid slices her open
from her titties down to her fucking hoohah.
You know, they said she was still alive.
And who the fuck hates her that much? She's pretty,
but kill-you-pretty? I don't know. I don't think so.
But I totes called it. Like I knew he was coming back.
-What, you know how did it? -The Druid. Obvs.
He's targeting this building.
People should listen to me, but they never do.
Honestly, I'm gonna go door to door in this building,
rip people's smartphones from their hands,
and literally punch in my blog, because they need to know.
[answering machine] Thank you for calling Xander. You're welcome.
Call me, okay?
That Xander? Is he not here right now?
-You haven't seen him? -Oh, my God, girl,
you have to find him right now. I can help, me and my show.
-Y-- you have a show? -Yes.
It's just me and my webcam but online is where it's at.
You know, Oprah, she got started on local cable access and look at her go.
You're gonna make a great guest. You could talk about Kit,
you could talk about Frank. You could talk about Kaili.
It'll totes stoke my followers, and then you make a plea.
You go full JonBenét Ramsey. Help me find Xander.
-Oh. -It'll be fun.
We'll make it fun for everyone. Stop the next murder.
Let's bring him home safe, okay?
Okay. Sure, I guess.
Bye.
Oh, my God.
[Saadia] I can't believe someone would do that to Miss Greenberg.
-She was so nice. -She wasn't that nice.
She was fake nice. I'm not saying she was a bitch.
-You could tell she wanted to be nice. -No, that's you.
You're too nice. You like everyone.
That's that police officer.
[Jen] Mm. She's a detective.
[Saadia] It's the same one as last year with Kit.
-[Jen] We knew the Druid was back. -[Saadia] We didn't know for sure.
I knew. I had that shit clocked from the start.
What about Cassidy? Could she be doing it?
-A girl druid? -Um, hi, feminism.
Girls hate hard and a psycho bitch like Cassidy
is probably into axe play.
It's scary.
People can look in here...
all our apartments.
If people want to creep you, all they have to do is log on.
They don't have to live across from you.
If the killer was watching Miss Greenberg, they for sure seen us.
Maybe.
What is that detective doing?
Writing down all our names? I bet you she's gonna ask us all
-if we saw anything, like last year. -Well, she should've asked us before.
Go, go.
[phone ringing]
[answering machine] Thank you for calling Xander. You're welcome.
Hey, Z,
I know you hate talking on the phone but please call me back, okay?
I just want to know you're okay.
[phone beeps]
Did Miss Greenberg have any disagreements with kids or parents at school?
No, she cared about us.
People liked her.
Did you see her talking with anyone in particular in the building?
Well, she said hi to everyone...
even Dan.
What about Mr. Dixon?
Did you ever see either of them talking with anyone outside of the building?
I heard things about Mr. Dixon.
What kind of things? You can tell me.
He could get you things, cars.
It embarrassed Erica. Her parents yelled a lot.
When you live in a building like this, you-- you hear everything.
Did you ever hear them together?
No. Miss Greenberg would never be with a guy like him.
Okay.
Thank you.
Are your parents home?
Mm, no. They flew across the country this morning for my brother's graduation.
[door shuts]
When are you gonna take this shit serious and start kicking in
some of these fucking doors looking for my daughter?
Your daughter's missing?
How long has she been gone?
How old is she?
-[Saadia] She's my age. -I'll tell her!
I saw her at school today. She didn't come to her exam.
[door opens]
Cassidy's only missing because she attacked Saadia
at school today and doesn't want to get suspended.
That's fucking bullshit!
You usually go to jail for hate crimes, Dan.
[Angel] Yeah, you should know that, Olenski,
with all the shit that you post.
-Fuck you! -We all hear you yelling at her.
You know, you should check his bathtub. She's probably in there,
-chopped up into little pieces! -[Roberta] Okay.
I'll fucking kill you, you fucking faggot!
-What'd you call me? -[Roberta] Step back! Settle down!
Step back!
-You fucking pig! You fucking-- -Hey!
I'll fuck you in your face.
-You white trash motherfucker! -Settle down and I'll let you go!
-[grunts] -Hey, hey, hey.
You know what, you should ask him if he's the one
-who broke into my apartment earlier! -Get back into your apartments
so I can speak to Mr. Olenski alone!
-He started this fucking shit. -Are you fucking kidding me?
-Now! -[groans]
Just go back in. Come on. Hey, hey.
[groans, pants]
Would you please let go of my fucking hand?
-[groans] -Mr. Olenski...
has Cassidy been hanging out with anyone new?
Have you seen her with Frank or Kaili lately?
[panting]
What's this supposed to mean?
[siren wailing]
Oh, God, I'm so glad you're okay.
Look, the Druid is back.
And that teacher in our building was cut open.
I'm just letting Violet know you're okay.
I mean, after Frank and now that teacher, like, I was freaking.
[sighs] Xander.
Xander?
Z?
[Xander sighs]
[Xander moaning]
[slurping]
[sighs]
[panting]
Hello?
Earth to Amy.
Oh.
That was nice.
[scoffs] That was nice.
I am a gifted linguist. If I am talking to you down there,
you don't need to be on your phone.
-Right now? -[sighs]
A little less FaceTime, a little more below-the-waist time?
[Amy chuckles]
[sighing]
Hey.
All right, we kiss...
we make out...
we make enough noise to drive those pathetic neighbors out of here.
Orgasms and pest control. I mean...
everybody wins.
Hey.
What if...
[sighs]
...I wore these while we did it?
[sighs]
-Hmm? -[both chuckle]
Well, if you're doing that...
-you can wear whatever you want. -Mm-hmm.
But, uh, but why that? [grunts]
Oh, uh...
[Amy sighs]
Oh.
It's kind of kinky, hmm?
-[Xander sighs] -[both chuckling]
Like robot porn.
-I'm your dirty, little sex robot. -[moans]
[gasping]
[both moaning]
[groaning]
[chuckles]
That's okay.
I want to get you off.
Look, I liked that. I don't need more.
Okay.
-Oh. -[siren wailing in distance]
What's up, C3? You seem a little PO'd.
Of course not.
Where'd you go?
Xander...
-You thinking about someone else? -Oh, my God, don't.
We were fucking. Hard.
He's a slimy, out-of-work druggie whorebag who is too stupid to even get paid for it.
I talked to him twice.
Yeah, it's like I'm the only person in this building
who doesn't want to fuck that wannabe rock star.
-I was fucking you. -Yeah, with those space goggles on.
You said you were into it.
Yeah, what are you even watching on this thing?
Whoa.
What the fuck?
That's what gets you off?
Well, nothing gets me off. I didn't cum. I don't ever cum.
You cum.
You've cum before.
I bet Kit makes you cum.
Look, Xander, no.
There's no one but you.
Lookie, lookie what we found in the garbage,
my little slinking violets.
If it isn't the real house wrecker of asshole county.
Mm, that's reaching a bit, Violet. Put that fucking thing away.
Why? You only like to have the camera running
when you're a queer eye trying to steal a straight guy?
There's no tries, only do.
And, honey, your husband did this at least five times a week.
Well, he came home to me every single night.
-Hey! -'Cause he feels sorry for you.
He doesn't want to hurt you...
because your online existence is so fucking pathetic
that he's afraid you'll end up shooting a selfie snuff film.
Hey, you're such a fucking asshole. You're such a fucking asshole!
And if this is fucking ruined, I'm gonna sue your ass!
Oh, with what money? You don't earn a dime.
I've heard Joe complain about that enough times.
You're such a fucking prick, do you know that?
-I am, yeah. And I have a big one. -[Violet chuckles]
-And we both know he prefers it. -[gasps] Still works.
-Ha! -You turn that fucking thing on
-I swear I will go right down... -Or what? What?
...to the police station and point out how you have the most to gain
from these killings, you and your three followers.
-I have 2,922. -No, your real followers,
not the ones you bought with Joe's hard earned money.
Yeah.
He tells me everything, and we laugh about it...
when we're not making each other's legs shake.
So you do follow me.
-I'm honored. -Whatever.
We both know who he's coming home to tomorrow. Hmm?
Face it, Vile,
everybody in this building hates your fucking guts.
I wouldn't be surprised if you were the next one to die.
That's what I'd do if I was the killer.
You're a fucking asshole.
-[indistinct chatter] -[Amy panting]
[Roberta] Hey.
Do you have any idea why someone would want to hurt Xander?
No.
Everyone loves him.
What was Xander doing this night, a year ago?
Why would I know that?
The night Kit Jennings died.
[scoffs]
[drawer opens]
-[man] Help! Somebody help me! -[pounding on door]
Cassidy! Cassidy, open the door!
Kit, if you think you can just come back here and apologize
-for that sitch with that slut. -Cassidy, open this fucking door!
There's a-- No! Fuck!
Fuck!
No, no, no, no, no, no! [pounding on door]
Angel, is that you? I'm sorry, okay? Open this door!
I'm gonna fucking die out in this hall! [grunts]
Fuck! [groans]
[indistinct screaming]
Fuck.
Did Xander have any lockers or storage?
No.
-That's mine! -We'll bring it back to you.
Did he have a gym membership?
No, he rode a fixie and slack-lined.
Well, what about his parents? Did he keep anything there?
-[phone beeps] -They don't live in the country.
Did he own a car or a truck for the business?
-Amy, any vehicles? -Sorry, it's work.
No, no cars.
We found four liters of blood in your husband's shop,
and you have no idea where he is.
Look, I need to get onto a computer and get online.
I'm a game tester. I need to pay my rent.
I need to go to a gaming place.
That should be fine. We're gonna be busy here.
-Keep your phone on. -Of course.
Tell me if she goes anywhere but a computer café.
Okay.
I'm gonna check with the other residents.
This place is evil.
Brings out the worst in all of us.
And now you're fucked, too.
What I need to know...
is what you've seen.
The Druid.
Can you feel it?
He's here.
He's coming for the rest of us.
Why would the Druid target any of you?
How should I know?
Huh? [hits the wall] How should I know?
I need some kind of cabalistic, or, I don't know,
some kind of priestess, or I don't know, I--
I think, just please and thank you. And please just bless us.
[sobs] Just bless this place. And then burn it to the fucking ground!
And I'll take him with me! [gasps]
[screams]
-[sobs] -[Connor] Okay, okay.
Hey.
Hey, why don't you come lie down?
Hmm? Amber.
[muttering]
You're gonna be up all night if you start this again. Come on.
[muttering]
Come here.
Come on, lie down. I'll make you some tea, okay?
Jeez, why would you do that?
You can see she's not well.
Have you seen anything suspicious in the building in the last week?
No, just more of the same.
People just shitting on each other.
Dan's the worst piece of shit in this place.
If anyone were to do anything fucked up, he'd be my guess.
Or maybe Violet. She sucks too.
Okay.
If you remember anything...
Yeah.
Well, if you come across any cheap apartments
that we can afford, you tell us because...
right now my stepmom starts every morning looking at the courtyard
where my mom burned to death.
I can't imagine.
Yeah.
Oh. Hey, what's up?
-You still got a VR station? -Uh, yeah,
it's in the corner back there.
[gasps]
-[gasps] -[screams]
[screams]
Holy shit, what is it? Le-- let me see.
-Look, beta testing. -Beta testing?
Yeah. I can't talk about it.
Okay.
[sighs]
Fuck. Fuck. Come on.
[panting]
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck!
[gasps]
[sobbing]
Shit.
What did you do? What did you do? What the fuck did you do?
[tires screeching]
Fuck!
[grunts]
[sobs]
[Sharma] We did a sweep as soon as Kaili Greenberg was found.
-Everywhere. The school's empty. -We have three murders in one day,
all within a 15-minute walk from here.
If a student from this school who also lives at that building
goes missing, I want to be 100 percent sure.
We're looking for her.
Wearing more clothes, I hope.
Cassidy Olenski.
She might be hiding out because of an altercation
she had with another student earlier today.
Let's hope that's what it is.
You take the north wing and the portables, and I'll do here,
the basement and the gym.
And you check all the closets, every room, anywhere big enough for a body.
You know, we did that.
Big enough for parts of a body.
-And be careful. -Yeah.
Cassidy?
Police!
Anyone there?
[water running]
[whimpers]
[screams]
Jesus!
Lock off all the exits and cordon off the street!
Meet me in the girls' bathroom now!
[indistinct shouting]
[sirens wailing]
[Amber] See what happens?
[Connor] What's happening?
They're giving up.
They can't handle it.
They know what any of us who live here know right away.
And what's that?
This building is a foul, pestilent sinkhole of bile.
God deserted this place.
Someone's punishing us for staying here.
It's just getting started. You watch.
The Druid's not gonna stop until we're all dead.
[creaking]
Xander?
[gasps, screams]
[screams]
[sighs] There.
I feel like a rat.
[Connor] What'd you tell 'em?
-"Hey, Mom and Dad. Aced the exams." -[Jennifer] True.
-Sort of true. You're gonna crush it. -We'll see.
"Going to the mall to see about the battery for the phone."
Well, look at that. You're already a pro. Lying to your parents over text.
I'm gonna get some weed for the party.
You know what? I don't think it's a good idea for you guys
to be hanging around alone here. It's not really safe.
I can lock myself in the apartment. My parents went hard on the locks.
Yeah, but it's better to be out, you know, surrounded by other people.
Says the guy who wants us all to go to the Solstice party.
[Jennifer chuckles]
Well, I'm not staying here all night. It's times like this...
I wanna go crazy.
Fine! I'll go to the stupid party.
-[chuckles] Hey! -Hey!
[Jennifer] Yes!
