MOTHER. COOKIE BRIBES ARE BETTER SUITED TO SCRAPED KNEES. YOU NEED TO GIVE HER SOME SPACE. LET HER FIND HER OWN WAY. AND WHAT IF SHE DOESN'T? WE CAME OUT HERE TO MAKE THIS WORK, MOTHER. YOU'RE NOT SUPERWOMAN, YOU KNOW, DARLING. YOU'RE PUTTING WAY TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON YOURSELF. [ SIGHS ] YOU HAVE TO FACE REALITY. NO, I WON'T GIVE UP. I WANT TO BE A FAMILY. IT'S A 2-WAY STREET, DARLING. YOU DON'T THINK I KNOW THAT, MOTHER? [ SIGHS ] NO, I DON'T! [ WAVES CRASHING ] JACK? JACK, ARE YOU SMOKING? SO, DID YOU BRING IN THE REST OF THE STUFF? I DON'T KNOW. SHOULD I BOTHER? CAN I COUNT ON YOU? WHY DO I GET THE FEELING YOU'VE ALREADY ANSWERED THA QUESTION FOR YOURSELF? OR SHOULD I SAY YOUR MOTHER'S ANSWERED IT FOR YOU? WHAT DO WE NEED TO MAKE THIS WORK? A FUCKING MIRACLE. WHAT DID YOU SAY? YOU SAID YOU'D TRY. SO DID YOU, LIZ. DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER. YOU'RE NEVER GONNA GET OVER IT. EVERY TIME YOU LOOK AT ME... YOU'RE JUST NEVER GONNA GET OVER IT.

EVEN THOUGH YOU NEVER, EVER HURT, DON'T YOU LOVE... [ RADIO SHUTS OFF ] GUY SELLERS. I GET IT SOLD. OH...RIGHT, THAT. NICE TO MEET YOU, GUY. I DIDN'T MEAN TO STARTLE YOU. I JUST WANTED TO COME OVER AND INTRODUCE MYSELF. I HATE HOW BUSINESS HAS BECOME SO IMPERSONAL -- AGENTS, LAWYERS -- ON THE CLOSE AND EVERYTHING, RIGHT? LUCKY FOR YOU, IT'S NEVER TOO LATE -- OR TOO EARLY -- TO FIND OUT EXACTLY WHAT GUY CAN DO FOR YOU. [ CHUCKLES ] YEAH, SURE. YOU KNOW, I SOLD THIS PLACE FOR 10% OVER THE ASKING PRICE FOR THE McMANNS -- NOT THA THAT'S SOMETHING YOU WANT TO HEAR. BUT I COULD DO THE SAME FOR YOU...WHEN YOU'RE READY. YOU DON'T WANT TO SELL THIS PLACE -- NOT YET. THE MARKET IS JUST GETTING HOT. YOU GOT A CARD? YEAH, SURE. YOU KNOW, I STILL DO THE ODD JOB AROUND THE CITY, BUT THE ACTION HERE? It's good.

I'M NOT TAKING THOSE PILLS ANYMORE. THEY MAKE ME NERVOUS. I JUST WANT TO BE HAPPY. I NEVER SAID HE WAS STUPID. HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO HELP YOU. SO, HE JUST IGNORES IT. THAT'S NOT A HUSBAND. WOULD YOU PREFER IF HE WAS MORE LIKE DAD -- NEVER AROUND? IT TOOK ME 50 YEARS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT MAKES A GOOD MAN. I FINALLY DECIDED THERE AREN' ANY. I'M SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE. HE'S GONNA LEAVE. A GIRL NEEDS A FATHER. NO, A GIRL NEEDS A MOTHER, SWEETHEART. LET HIM GO. [ CLATTERING ] I'M GLAD YOU'VE DECIDED TO THINK FOR ME NOW, TOO. THAT'S YOUR SHIT. MIGHT HAVE BROKEN SOMETHING. STOP.

WE'VE BEEN UP AND DOWN THIS ROAD FOR THE PAST HOUR, JACK! YOU'RE SELFISH. SELFISH -- YOU'RE SO SELFISH! SHE'S GONNA BE -- YOU'RE SELFISH! SHE'S GONNA BE FINE. HOW DO YOU KNOW SHE'S FINE? DID YOU ASK HER, JACK? DO YOU EVEN CARE ABOUT HER? DO YOU? WHAT KIND OF A FATHER ARE YOU?! OBVIOUSLY NOT THE KIND YOU NEED ME TO BE. I SWEAR TO GOD, IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO HER, JACK...

THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE. WE CAN'T AFFORD TO STAY HERE, LIZ. THIS WAS A MISTAKE. A NEW HOUSE ISN'T GONNA CHANGE ANYTHING. WE HAVEN'T EVEN TRIED. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THIS IS ALL FOR YOU. IT'S...IT'S LIKE I'M NEVER GONNA BE GOOD ENOUGH. OR I'M NEVER GONNA BE ABLE TO MAKE UP FOR WHAT HAPPENED. I MADE A DECISION, AND YOU'RE NEVER GONNA FORGIVE ME. I WANT TO BE HAPPY HERE. I REALLY DO. I JUST DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S POSSIBLE NOW. I'M SORRY. I'm sorry. I NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU, LIZ. I WANT TO BE HAPPY. I WANT TO BE HAPPY. [ SIGHS ] [ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS ] YOU'RE A GOOD MOTHER. [ ANGIE LAUGHS ] SWEETIE? DID YOU GET OUT OF BED? [ ANGIE LAUGHS ] YOU HAVE TO FACE REALITY. MOM? ANGIE? [ ANGIE LAUGHS ] [ GASPS ] [ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS ] NO! [ PANTING ] IT'S OKAY. [ SIGHS ] Jesus Christ. OF COURSE THE CABLE'S NOT HOOKED UP. THAT WOULD JUST PUSH ME OVER THE HAPPINESS THRESHOLD. OKAY, COME ON, YOU SON OF A... THE PRESIDENT... ...BITCH. ...BY HIS OPPON-- COME ON. WHOOPS. ...IMPORTS FROM CHIN--... ...ARE CONTRIBUTING TO JOB... ...TURMOIL HERE AT HOME. OKAY. AND NOW A LOCAL STORY THA HAS GRIPPED NATIONAL ATTENTION. THE RECENT GRISLY DISCOVERY OF A SLAUGHTERED FAMILY OF FIVE HAVE POLICE FINALLY ADMITTING THE POTENTIAL EXISTENCE OF A SERIAL KILLER OF A RARE VARIETY. IT'S GONNA BE JUST... ...OF... ...DETECTIVE ELLIOT ROBINSON, WHOSE SISTER WAS BRUTALLY MURDERED, ALONG WITH HER HUSBAND AND THREE YOUNG CHILDREN, SPOKE WITH THE MEDIA EARLIER TODAY. DETECTIVE ROBINSON HAS RECEIVED CLEARANCE BY THE APPELLATE COURT TO REJOIN THE INVESTIGATION AFTER THE POLICE COMMISSION HAD REMOVED HIM FROM THE CASE. VALERIE McDONALD HAS THIS REPORT. POLICE SERVICES PSYCHOLOGISTS MADE THE RECOMMENDATION AFTER INITIALLY CONCLUDING THAT HIS PERSONAL ATTACHMENT TO MULTIPLE VICTIMS IN THE CASE WOULD UNDERMINE HIS ABILITY TO PERFORM HIS DUTIES. DETECTIVE ROBINSON FOUGHT THE DECISION, WHICH WAS FINALLY OVERTURNED BY JUDGE JOHNSON EARLIER TODAY. NEWS CHANNEL 5 CAUGHT UP WITH DETECTIVE ROBINSON AFTER THE ANNOUNCEMENT. DETECTIVE, DETECTIVE, DETECTIVE. WHAT'S YOUR NEXT MOVE, DETECTIVE? ARE THERE ANY LEADS? IS THERE A PROFILE? DETECTIVE, DO YOU REALLY FEEL FIT TO BE HANDLING THIS INVESTIGATION? DETECTIVE ROBINSON, ARE YOU HAPPY ABOUT BEING BACK ON THE CASE? HAPPY? THERE'S NOTHING HAPPY ABOUT ANY OF THIS. EXCUSE ME. DETECTIVE, JUST A FEW MORE QUESTIONS. DETECTIVE ROBINSON'S FRUSTRATION IS ECHOED IN QUIE NEIGHBORHOODS THROUGHOUT THE GREATER METROPOLITAN AREA, LIKE HERE, IN SUBURBAN HIGHBROOK. ALL 4 FAMILIES, 17 VICTIMS IN ALL, SENSELESSLY MURDERED, WERE LIVING IN NEIGHBORHOODS NO DIFFERENT FROM THIS ONE. THE ONLY PATTERN APPEARS TO BE THE CRIMES ARE OCCURRING FURTHER AND FURTHER AWAY FROM CITY CENTER. THE WIDENING OF THE CRIME AREA INTO MULTIPLE POLICE JURISDICTIONS HAS DONE NOTHING TO CALM THE CITIZENS OF OUR CITY. DETECTIVE ROBINSON AND THE ENTIRE POLICE FORCE ARE HOPING THE SKETCH RELEASED EARLIER THIS MORNING WILL TURN UP A LEAD BEFORE ANOTHER INNOCEN FAMILY TURNS UP DEAD. SANDRA, BACK TO YOU. COMING UP, TIM THOMAS HAS SPORTS AND SCORES RIGH AFTER -- [ STATIC CRACKLES ] Great. GOD DAMN IT, LIZ! JESUS CHRIST, YOU SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME. SORRY. ARE YOU OKAY?
