you

But first, some static in the real
world. Brookhaven police is still

for local woman Heather Crane. You see
something?

I know. Sorry.

Sorry.

I'm writing this one up, Nova.

I bet there's ever been a time you
haven't.

Breaking tonight from Brookhaven, a doll
resounding the missing woman, Heather

Crane, was found in her Ridgeview home
earlier this evening.

Hey, Benny.

Holy shit, man. That's like two blocks
from where I grew up.

Authorities believe she could be the
doll keeper's eighth victim.

Oh. Marking an escalation. Yeah, this
time it's fucked.

No rules, fuck kid.

Chef, I need that mouth down, no mayo.

What's that?

Families of previous victims.

have raised the reward to $250 ,000 for
anyone with information leading to the

capture of the doll keeper.

Anyone with information is urged to
contact... Knock down, please. Shut up.

look! I know Mayo.

Small fry, chef.

Yep, heard you the first time. This
piece of shit is acting up again.

Okay, well, that won't help. We
desperately needed a new one months ago.

At this point, it's just criminal.

Look, Susan will listen to you. Yeah,
well, she'd listen to you, too, if you

took your job seriously.

I take the sacred art of cholesterol
distribution very seriously, Robert.

No. It's a sign of respect. It's a sign
you watch too much TV.

I'm not calling you chef.

You know what?

It doesn't cost anything to be kind and
inclusive.

The other night you asked if I could try
and dress less dyke.

Yeah, well, you don't do yourself any
favors.

Where's your cap?

I hate the thing. It's itchy.

It's company policy.

Look, you know as floor manager I can't
just... What, you're just going to leave

me hanging?

I really wish you weren't the only lady
I bought and found.

Grab me a double -double, would you?

Sir?

You heard the man.

And for yourself?

The usual.

Sorry, can you remind me... Don't act
like you haven't been taking my order

since grad.

One double -double and one three -pump
skinny latte with half -and -half milk.

That'll be $3 .75.

And straight A to minimum wage.

You're really living the dream, I hope.

They not a trouble, Benny boy?

Hey.

Oh, God.

Frank.

Deputy Mitchell.

Come on now.

I don't want to have to tell your
probation officer that you're

law enforcement.

I got my eye on you, Benny boy.

Don't forget who's holding your leash.

I'm confused. Are you the dog? No, you
are. Why are you barking?

Because I'm... You're the dog.

He's... So what's new, Harpy?

You're still hassling people for your
cult.

I'm still helping people create
financial freedom, if that's what you

Look, my downline is about to take off,
so it's too late for you to get in on

the ground floor.

Your ground floor looks a lot like rock
bottom

to me, Harpy.

What?

This is temporary.

You know Jeff Bezos worked at a
McDonald's, right?

When he was like her age.

Ten years ain't temporary.

Nova, where are the... There you go,
chef.

Well, back to doing the real work.

What's so funny? Just a bold flex when
our town talks with date charts for

rate. Order's up.

Well, what do you expect when you keep
giving jobs to leave mugs shut?

You're always such a blast. Nova!

Your cap.

Go.

You all right, kid?

I can't find my stupid cap.

Who cares?

Guess. Oh, yeah.

Where's the spear?

That. Smells like ass.

You're lucky you don't have to... Yeah.

I'm living the high life up in here.

Opera's full of stands, you know.

Me and the boys can make a house call.

I reckon that asshole stepped out of
yours has earned a special visit.

Thanks, Benny, but I can handle Wade.

I know.

What was it this time? Bottle ran out?

Something like that.

Better me than her.

Man, if I was you, I'd be halfway to
anywhere else by now.

Trust me, this town don't kill you fast.

It'll drag it out.

Enough dicking around for the town.

So you take your sister with you.

Not that prick way to even give a shit.
Dude, I just pawned some of my jewelry

to get gas for the week.

I can't take care of a five -year -old.

Hello?

Am I working alone tonight?

Your break starts in five minutes, Chef.

Taking it early, Chef.

Nova, I need you back on the floor.
Damn, I'm not Chef anymore. Not when

not working.

Well, apparently the health violations
and broken equipment's not the real

issue. It's my hatless head.

Then wear the spare.

Hell no.

I'll go check my car.

You'll want to wash your hands.

Stupid can.

Can't work without your stupid can.

Can

I

help you?

Can I get a flop shop on large price?

Would you like the full drip?

It's an extra patty and soda.

If you're offering for free.

No, it's an extra $3 .49.

That's $7 .99.

Large price, chef.

Make sure it's a large, not just a small
and a large box. I know how you big

chain like to scam the mail.

You're in trash duty tonight.

A word?

Now?

No, no, what the hell are you... That
guy, the new customer, in his car, I saw

a... A doll.

A what? A creepy one.

It looked like the one on the news.

The missing women.

Oh.

Wait, are you saying what I think you're
saying?

Parker looks creepy enough.

Okay, can one of you enlighten me?

Look, he might be a doll keeper.

Wait, the serial killer.

That's absurd.

Now, there are a million reasons why
there's a doll in a car.

He probably got killed. No, no, it
doesn't look like one you can buy in the

store. There was something off about it.

I think we should call the cops to check
it out.

Oh, and humiliate ourselves.

We can't do nothing because you're
scared of your high school bully.

Dad, please, in six months, I'll be
raking in passive income while she's

clocking over time to make rent.

All right, we need to be sure it's him.

Okay, we'll get more evidence then.

I'll check his car. No, you won't.

This is ridiculous.

That's a good idea.

Seriously? You too?

Quarter mil.

That's your reward after this guy now.

We split that three ways.

Ain't bad.

Okay.

Okay, but if it is him, we need to call
the cops. One thing at a time, kid.

Okay.

Let's, uh, prove it.

Hi. We're offering a free cup of coffee
for our customers tonight.

Pass.

Although, if you're offering anything
else, you, uh, don't want to know?

It's... The best cup in town. God damn
it!

Sorry.

There's the washing out back.

You know what?

I'm in a good mood today.

I'm gonna let this one go.

Get Nova back here.

Nova!

Hey. Hello?

Hey!

Open the fucking door, man!

I'm working on it, man.

Place it in the channel and everything's
broken.

Fuck, huh? Shit, man.

I'm sorry, man. It happens to me all the
time.

Sucks.

You want some free coffee?

Oh.

No, but... Come on!

You know what?

Today's a good day.

Yeah? Not even the dump can ruin it.

How the fuck do you mean the keys?

You Nova.

God, so unhygienic. Jesus, you're all
right, kiddo.

Holy shit.

Is that... Oh, my God. Is she dead?

Is she dead?

Yeah.

She's... She's dead.

It's her.

The woman on the news.

Shit. So it's really him.

The doll keeper.

We have to call the cops. Whoa, hold on.

Now, we bring those asshole pigs in now,
and they will shaft us six ways to

Sunday. You think they'll let us touch
that reward money? Not a fucking chance.

Shit, you're right.

How do we claim it? Family set up a
hotline. I'll look into it. We lock that

cash down first, then we call the cops.

Agreed? Agreed.

No! We have to call the cops now.

There's a fucking serial killer out
there with a dead body, and it's... I

she's not getting any debt, or... Is
she?

Okay. I won't let him hurt anyone else.

All right? He's not going anywhere.

This is life -changing money.

Take it out of this dump.

Think of what that could do for you and
your sister.

We can't have this guy getting
suspicious.

Got it?

Business as usual, right?

Sorry to keep you waiting.

What can I get you?

Vanilla spill and floppy fries. One
vanilla spill and floppy fries, chef.

Chef!

Hey, yeah, I'm, uh, calling about the
reward money.

Uh, is this legit?

Uh -huh. You got a promotion.

Fuck, yeah, I do. This is the call
you've been waiting for. But, uh, first

things first, how exactly does the
payout work?

Your tip is to send a case ID number if
it leads to an arrest. The phone's

early, see?

Oh, it'll lead to an arrest, all right.
It's gonna close the goddamn case,

because, uh... I got him.

The doll keeper.

Well, he's here now.

And that local missing woman? She's in
his goddamn trunk outside.

Is she okay?

No, not really. She's kind of past the
point of needing medical attention, if

you catch my drift.

Wait, what did you say?

Yeah.

Here you go.

Oh, shit.

Susan's here.

Hey, I'm going to have to put you on
hold for just a minute, all right? I'll

right back.

I'm on pressure.

It's got to be those slackers.

Not a word to her. We can't hide it.

Of course we can.

It's dingy, Susan.

She'll take everything.

She thinks even a wind of this? We kiss
that money goodbye.

Get rid of her.

Oh, you will all let me know when the
council is standing around doing fuck

has convened, won't you?

Because Precious would love to know.

Evening, Susan.

I was just delegating tasks for the
evening.

No, don't skip the toilet.

Our cubicles are making the shitters and
train spotting look like they're

ripped. Yeah, Nova's on it.

Kid pulled the shit straw, huh?

It's only fair, considering she was late
again today.

Oh, well, that's coming out of her tip.

Stand so close to her, Harper. She's not
feeling well. She's got a poo bump

squirting out both ends.

Martha! Harper!

Oh, my God. Are you okay, precious? Are
you all right, baby? What the hell have

you done to this thing? Nothing.

It's been like that for months. We
really need a new one.

No, it's fine.

Nova just needs to take better care of
it is all.

See? If it's greasing, then it ain't
needin' no flexin'. Okay.

We hardly need her checking out the
fryer right now. She needs to leave.

What a big baby.

You, uh... You've been working out, huh?

That's still a no, Susan.

How many times have I got to tell you?

You don't got to be so formal.

My friends call me... Yeah, well, you're
my boss.

Sam. I don't really hear it.

Outside, things could get a whole lot
less professional.

Yeah. Yeah, that sounds awesome.

Susan, I actually wanted to show you the
new schedule I put together.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Later, Harper. It'll
save you a lot of cash.

Really?

Okay. Yeah.

Hey,

all right, I'm back. Why don't you go
ahead and transfer those funds now, and

will tell you exactly where you can find
this asshole.

I can promise you it is him. He's
literally

20 feet away from me.

Hello? Hello?

Oh, my God, seriously. Shit.

Emma?

Grady?

Flash? Look, um... Your purple pick, is
it an old one?

Yeah. I guess it's... Oh!

Call the police. She's obviously the
next victim.

Give me your phone, kid.

Shit.

I've seen what Ann wiped right down.

You must have done something.

I'll show you.

Hey.

Can I get a saucy beef and coke?

That's $9 .99.

Oh, that's a good one.

Technology hates me.

Here.

I'll be right back with the order.

Don't go anywhere.

Did you make the call?

No, Boris.

Then we'll call the police with the
landline.

Oh, okay.

The money?

It's real. It's all legit. I checked.

All right? I'll use the landline, and
I'll finish the call. Benny, she's in

danger. Not while she's in here.

It's the only order to keep them
waiting. All right? Trust me.

I won't let anything happen to her.

I mean, there are other iterations, but
this one really is the most cost

-effective. With these two pulling a few
double shifts, they're up for it,

right? Great plan.

Oh, I'm taking one for the team, huh?

You're so chivalrous.

Oh, look at the time.

You must be exhausted.

You work way too hard.

Yeah. Yeah, I am. I am.

But someone's got to keep those plants
running.

Yeah. Yeah, no, you're the glue that
keeps this whole place from falling

right?

I am? Yeah.

Okay. Well, I'll see you all tomorrow.

Oh, and, uh, Nova, don't forget the shit
is, honey.

Nicole? I'm...

Seriously?

or pick a coffin.

Jeez, Louise.

There you go.

Um, when's my food gonna be ready?

Sorry, our chef just finished a really
big takeout order, but he's working on

yours. Uh, why don't you take a seat and
bring it over to you?

No, wait!

Do you want any sauces?

Uh, sure.

Wow.

Way to be discreet. We shouldn't be
sending her back over there. Good

ladies.

Mr. Greenlee. Sir!

I haven't seen you since grad.

Wait. Since when do you eat fat food?

I've got some late -night marking to do.

I could use a change of scenery. Just a
coffee, please. Sure, no problem. One

coffee coming right up.

Nova, sorry, could you please get
coffee?

Oh.

Oh, no, no, no, Mr. G, no, this one's on
me.

Harper, thank you, that's so sweet.

Everything good with you?

Yeah, no, it is.

I'm an entrepreneur now.

Yeah, this is a side hustle.

Bottom line is, it's really taking off.
Oh, that's fantastic.

What about you, Nova? How's that book
report coming?

Huh?

Yeah, fine.

Okay, well, thank you.

Right.

I'm gonna go check on Benny.

We've got, uh, places to be.

How about I just grab my girlfriend's
order now?

Girlfriend?

Jealous. It seemed like you two had only
just met.

Are you spying on me?

I'll go check on your brother now.

He knows something. What the hell are
you doing?

Everything is broken.

I'll drive him to town to report it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on,
kid.

Mine's going to be back soon, all right?

We can't stall any longer. He's going to
leave in the open.

And we won't let him.

Three churros and some fresh fries. Here
you go.

Um, thanks, but where's my food?

It's getting wrapped up now. This is for
the inconvenience. It's on the house.

Here, try one. They're freshly made.

Oh, actually, you can help me do that.

Freshly defrosted, but I mean sugar,
sugar, am I right? Can I put this down

there? Order's up.

Fuck, finally.

Hey, have you seen the car keys? Keys?
Yeah, the goddamn car keys. Have you

them? No.

Hey, hey, the chick that was cleaning
our table, where is she?

Huh? Where is she? Hey, you!

You took...

My keys.

Whoa, calm down. No, they were on the
table. She cleaned it, and now they're

gone. I didn't see any keys. Fucking
liar!

Whoa, no.

Chill out.

Is there a problem here? The fuck are
you? Stay out of this, old man!

Sir, Mr. Greenwood, it's fine. The
customer lost his car keys.

I didn't lose them. You stole them.

Okay, whoa.

This is probably just one big
misunderstanding.

Nova, where did you put the trash?

I threw it out back.

Okay. All right, now go check.

Whoa, this is staff only, pal.

Yeah, well, your staff stole from me,

pal.

Okay, I'll go take a look together.

Lead the way.

This is gluten -free, right?

No.

Just keep it on.

Now, if they were picked up by mistake,
they would be in there.

All right.

You can get your hands dirty looking,
then.

Huh? That guy.

You've only just met him? In person.

We've been, like, speaking for weeks.

Not that it's any of your business.

Please, just don't leave with him.

Okay, you're being really fucking weird.

Nova, what's going on? What the fuck?

Fucking fuck!

Grab a leg.

Why is your signal so shit?

Seriously, don't leave.

Nova, are you in trouble?

I... No,

no. Nova.

You need to take her.

I can't watch Millie tonight.

Yeah, you can.

I got somewhere I need to be.

Wait, I'm serious. She can't stay.

Quit acting like you're so important.

You work in a fucking fast joint.

Wait. Wait.

Wait. No. No. Please.

Don't leave me. No. Neely can't stay.
She can't. No. No.

No.

Hey.

Hey.

This isn't your fault.

I'm sorry.

There's a lot happening tonight.

I need you to do what I say.

Okay?

Uh, Nova.

Oh.

Who is this lovely young lady?

This is my sister Millie.

Mills, this is my teacher, Mr.
Greenwood. Hi, Millie.

When I was your age, the triceratops was
my favorite.

What about you?

She loves the T -Rex.

Oh, she's deaf?

Nonverbal. She can hear you.

Okay. Well, golly, Millie, it sure is
nice to meet you.

Nova, is anything the matter?

You know you can tell me if anything is
wrong. Brady!

Everything's fine, sir.

Excuse me.

How the hell is that for the service
tonight?

We gotta get back on that call.

Nova's itching to blow this whole
payout.

I could just panic about this after
running out of the latest cash.

Problem solved.

No. Stop her.

Shut the hell up, dirtbag.

Yeah, yeah, we know exactly who you are.

Have you met it?

Hey, could you get them to speed it up
in there? I'll be right with you.

All right, space ranger.

Time to fuel up.

In three, two, one, blast off.

Alarm is set for the next mission,
Captain.

I'm going to go check the service box
out back.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You can't just leave me with him. It's a
bowline knot. He's not going anywhere.

What?

You don't like the taste of karma?

Huh? All right.

I need my... Uh,

hi.

Grady?

What the fuck is this?

You let him go. Yeah, we can't do that.

See your, uh, your bow here?

He's a killer.

What? Yeah, yeah, the doll keeper, to be
more specific.

And you would have been next. We hadn't
stepped in, so... You're welcome.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

No.

You won't.

Sorry, darling, but it's true.

Yeah. That local missing woman, we found
her dead body in his trunk.

No, no, no, no, no.

No,

no, stop, stop.

Just listen.

I'm going to let you go now, okay? No
screaming, okay? Just let us explain,

okay?

Okay.

Hey, look, there's a reward out for this
asshole.

Once we lock that down, we'll call the
cops to help us out, and we'll cut you

in, okay?

50 bucks.

Yeah, just to...

Hang tight.

Yeah.

Okay. Okay.

Excellent. So all we have to do is deep
breath. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Take it easy.

What the fuck?

Yo.

A little service here?

I'm sorry. One moment.

Sorry, sir. Can you keep an eye on her?
Sure.

What have we got here?

Okay.

Yeah, she's dead.

It's fine. We'll tell the cops it was an
accident.

Tell the cops?

Are you out of your goddamn mind?

They are trying to find any reason to
throw me back at that, and I'm pretty

killing a woman is a fucking good reason
for them. No.

No. We didn't kill her.

He did.

You.

You tricked her.

You killed another innocent woman. You
fucking fuck.

We held her against her will, Harper.

I mean, you don't.

This is going to bury me. They'll bury
me. No.

No.

I'll tell the cops it was an accident.

They'll listen to me. Really?

You're copying if a buddy's going to
back you up, huh? You're that close.

You did this too, Harper.

You pulled that damn chair out. Any half
-decent lawyer is going to argue that

that's second -degree murder.

Oh, my God.

I can't go to jail.

I won't survive in jail.

Look at me.

Oh, my God.

I'm going to be forced to give this one.

Hey, wait. I'm going to have to make a
hooch out of a toilet.

Smuggle cigarettes in places that I
don't even want to think about. Shh,

shh. Wait, wait, wait. Harper.

Are you seriously going to put this
thick asshole's life ahead of your own?

He is awful.

He's the fucking worst.

I mean, how many people has he killed?

How many people won't die if he's, you
know... I guess that's true.

We'd still get the reward.

I mean, we caught him, right?

We'd take him out now.

No, no, no, no, no. That money's still
ours.

Okay. Okay.

Okay. All right.

We just, you know, we just... Yeah.

Fuck you. What the fuck?

What happened?

He did it.

Oh, my God, Novo. We tried to stop him.

I'm sorry, Kitty. It's true.

Hey!

Hello? Some of us got to schedule the
key.

What the hell's going on here?

Kid, she's... Call an ambulance!

She's dead.

I told

you we should have called the cop!

I'm gonna get help. Hey, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa. Hold on, hold on.

All right, let me check the service box
out back. I'll get the land back up and

working, okay?

What... what happened?

We confronted him, and he got angry. He
went full psycho, threw her across the

room, broke her neck.

But he thought... Yeah, well, he is now.

We had to raffle him.

Don't get too close, kid. He's
dangerous.

Hello?

Hello?

Sorry, I was... Good heavens!

What, sir?

Sir, this is not what it looks like.
This man, he's the donkey.

We found a dead body in his car earlier.
We cornered him. He killed her. We tied

him up. So... Holy moly.

Well, we need to call 911. We can't.
Service is down.

Oh.

That police must already be on their
way, though.

Um... No.

You said you found the body earlier this
evening.

Yeah.

I'm sorry. I'm... I'm not understanding.

You haven't called the police.

We were gonna, all right? We were gonna
call the police, but there's a reward

after this guy. I didn't get to finish
the fucking call.

I'm gonna check the service box out
back.

Actually, I could, uh... I could use a
hand with that.

I'm not leaving her alone with him.

No, Eric, it's fine.

No, that's a bow tie knot. Bow line. Bow
line knot.

He's not going anywhere.

We do need to get the line fixed.

You keep your distance from him, Harper.
Yeah, of course. And you come get me if

anything happens.

Yes.

Nothing, nothing.

They were, uh, just taking a nap.
They're fine.

Everything's okay.

Hey, lady.

I ain't standing around here for my
health.

I'm sorry.

Everyone needs to leave.

We're closing early for the night. The
hell you are. I didn't stand here for

nothing. I want some damn food.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Here.

Free food. Honor.

That's it?

Keep them coming.

Thank you kindly.

Sorry, it had to be like this.

I know.

I'm not sorry.

No, you're getting exactly what you
deserve.

Okay, fine!

You're going to have your final words.

If you scream, that cap is going so far
down your throat, you'll be tasting

it for days.

Well, you would if you weren't, you
know, dead.

Sorry, I'm still so confused.

What made you even look in his trunk in
the first place?

I found a doll.

A doll?

Yeah, you know, one of them creepy
fucking doll things he always leaves

She, uh... She saw one inside his car.

What the fuck?

What?

The line's been cut.

Out, out, out!

Go, go, go. Slow your horses.

It's not me. I'm not a fucking killer.
I'm not.

Wow.

That's exactly what a killer would say.

It's not my car. It's not my car. It's
not my car.

What? It's not my fucking car.

Lily?

Where did you get that?

How did that motherfucker cut the cable?

What the fuck?

I told the thing earlier tonight.

No, you're lying.

I'm not!

I'm broke as hell.

And I told Emma I was successful.

I go, shut up, and shit.

I see the car, the keys in the ignition,
like it's my lucky fucking day. I don't

even look in the goddamn trunk! No, no,
you're lying!

I looked in the glove compartment for
cash.

I saw the creepy fucking doll, and I
tossed it!

That's a funny story.

But it's a lie.

You're a killer!

And a liar!

No, there's no way.

No,

there's no way.

Fucking psycho bitch!

Everyone will know.

I need the police. It's an emergency at
the Big Dripper.

No, no. The restaurant and Brookhaven.
Off highway two.

Ben, he's working on the service box.
I'm sure he'll have it up and running in

two shakes of a lamb's tail.

I

don't want you to

worry, Millie.

Everything's going to be okay.

Good thinking.

clearing everyone out of here.

I guess we should just sit down and wait
for the police.

Millie needs the washroom.

I really think that we should stick
together.

Penny?

No, don't move, okay?

You've got to hide.

Come with me.

Nova? See, I told you we'd find her.

Why don't you come join us over here?

Come on, can you go?

They're taking their skin.

Making a suit.

Yeah. And wearing them.

Come sit here.

Good.

Coloring.

Oh, I think you can put that down.

We don't want anyone to get hurt.

Now, do we?

But we don't want our guests to overstay
their welcome.

I would say that the length of about one
song should do it, but

they really shouldn't be here when it
ends.

Nova. Hello?

You called them? Where were you? I'm
allowed a bathroom break, Nova.

Look, we haven't claimed the reward yet.
Don't say anything, please, Nova.

She was whatever you think's best, Nova.

They call us, right?

I love this one.

Three minutes.

Give or take.

Hurry up and wait. Really?

What's the big emergency then?

Emergency?

Nothing.

There's nothing going on.

We just got a call from your number.

Claiming an emergency.

My kiss sister was playing with my
phone.

It wasn't fake. I'm sorry. I should
write you up for wasting police time.

It's my fault, officers. I was meant to
be watching over her while Nova and

Harper were closing up.

Sir, what are you doing here?

Just some late night grading.

Hey, look at you.

I always knew you'd go far.

It's always wonderful to see my ex
-students flourish.

Can I get you anything?

Just going to grab a word with that ex
-con of yours.

Uh, Benny's gone home.

That's why we closed early.

No, Chef.

Sorry for the mix -up, but everything's
fine.

I don't think so.

You pulling us off the street made life
easier for all the crooks and dirtbags

out there.

How about some free food?

For your troubles. No, thanks.

Don't forget the barbecue sauce.

You can take your time, ladies.

I love it.

Yeah, so I'll probably make that PD
before I'm 26.

If that T -minus didn't hold you back.
Shakespeare don't put criminals away.

Intuition does.

For the inconvenience.

We order all week, I'd say. Sure, no
problem.

Sir?

Oh, Kate, would you mind if I grab a few
snaps for the teacher's lounge?

Of course.

Deputy, why don't you get in on this as
well? The staff would love to see who's

mentoring our favorite ex -student.

Oh, let's get that out of the shot. We
don't need that in there.

And say, stick him up.

Oh, I'm sorry. These essays are taking
my coordination as well as my sanity.

Don't worry about it, sir. Oh, no, no,
nonsense.

We can't have our town's finest eating
such fries.

Nova, why don't you pack up some fresh
fries for the officers?

And throw some extra barbecue dolphins.

Have

a good

one, sir.

You stay safe now.

Go catch some bad guys.

Nova, why don't you come join us again?

Good job, Millie.

The leaders don't grind.

They pivot.

They pivot.

Nobody gets to the top without grinding.

Enough!

Has she always been this way?

It's not surprising.

It's hard to find your voice when Betty
doesn't settle things with words.

You're... You're the Dolekeeper?

You want to see one?

vessel dolls.

Yeah, they take the pain, the sins, the
suffering of their masters.

Nova, I truly wish that I could have
prepared you your own doll.

Then you wouldn't have to feel what's
going to happen to you tonight.

Your vessel would bear.

Please. Please just let Millie go.

Millie especially should have her own
doll.

What do you want?

Well, Nova, I don't mind admitting that
I've been improvising since I stepped

away from my car earlier.

Careless, I know, but it was just for a
moment. It was in an affluent

neighborhood. This charming little town
of ours is becoming a hotbed for crime.

Still, it was easily tracked.

And I appreciate you and your friends
taking care of the thief.

What are they doing back here?

Get rid of them.

Hello?

Barbecue sauce?

It's not rocket science.

This seems intentional, Nova.

It doesn't feel like you're taking this
situation seriously.

I'll get rid of them. Stop!

You get the thought.

Millie and I will let her in.

Twice in one night. How lucky am I?

Johnny gave me cats up.

Nova,

I believe the request was for sauce.

It's a free cup for inconveniencing the
officer.

Again.

Inconveniencing me again.

Nova?

Nova?

Now!

Freeze!

Stay right there!

Sir, are you okay? He's the doll keeper!

What? How did you...

I'm sorry.

Kate needs your help with a rowdy
customer. The town's full of them.

Hello, Kate?

Hello?

Wait, aren't they closed?

He's refusing to leave, I guess.

They're out back by the washroom.

Go, go, go!

Did he kill Benny?

And the guy in the staffer?

He was innocent.

What are we going to do?

We need to kill him.

Greenwood, we need to kill him. No, no.
We're not going anywhere near him.

So what's the plan, Nova?

What, he just wanders out there freely
murdering people?

It's all right. It's all right, Space
Ranger.

Slow, deep breaths.

In and out.

Shh.

Her navel is out there.

It's okay. I'll be okay.

It's dangerous.

All that matters right now is making
sure Mom's okay.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Morph, Benny Sharp is nice.

Yes.

One in each hand. And then we both
attack. No hesitation.

He's only one guy.

We could take him. The man has a gun
now.

Okay.

Okay, that's fine.

That's fine. We create a diversion.

And then we can... Why are you so
focused on killing him?

Hello, Nova.

He's a serial killer. And I don't want
to give him three more victims.

What about our customers?

Anyone who comes to our door is a goner.

The fire alarm.

It's not connected to the main power.

Okay.

So?

So, it connects straight to the fire
department.

It needs to ring for 30 seconds and just
test if they alert.

This is your last chance.

I'll be right back.

Sorry.

Harper, what are you sorry for?

I had to.

It's enough playtime now, Nova.

Why?

What does it look like?

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

It can be our little secret.

I can't have my life ruined, Nova.

I'm building a fucking empire.

I'm gonna make something of myself.

You really think he's gonna let you walk
away?

You know who he is.

No, it's called strategy.

We've got something on each other.

It's a mutually beneficial exchange.

What the hell is the goddamn lights?

Oh, my God.

Precious, you stay here, my honey. We
can't have the damn sheriff's department

calling us and interrupting our snuggly
TV time, can we now? No, honey, no!

No!

Hey, Harper.

Harper, you're a problem solver.

Oh,

my

God. This place is filthier than a port
-a -potty at a chili festival.

And you've got ketchup.

All over the damn floor!

Open the door, Harper!

Benny and Nova left early. Benny and
Nova left early. Benny and Nova left

Susan!

Hi, Susan.

Why the hell's the door locked?

Benny and Nova left early, so I was
forced to close up. What do you mean

left early? Where the fuck are they?

Nova had to sort her sister out, and
Benny, he... He quit.

left the kitchen looking like a war
zone. You don't see it, but I promise I

have it by morning.

Yeah. Yeah.

You say why he quit.

Honestly, Susan, I think he felt
intimidated by you. I mean, you were on

tight ship. I think it just broke his
ego working under you.

I told him enough times. I was happy to
get under him.

Yeah, you did.

Oh, Harper.

If only the rest of my staff were as
dedicated as you. You know, you keep

up, you could be regional manager.

Well, I'm just trying to follow your
example.

Yeah.

Well, I gotta get up to cleaning.

Right, yeah.

Right, right, right.

Oh, just, um, why are the cops here?

They're not.

They left.

Their car broke down. They said they'd
pick it up tomorrow.

I'm not running a free storage center.
If it's here tomorrow, they're paying

rent. Of course. Yeah.

Night season.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Fucking Christ.

You stay here.

Mama's about to walk into some shit.

Inside now.

Problem solved not quite

in Greenwood. I'm the teacher at Haven
Creek High. I used to teach Harper,

actually.

Ma 'am, please, put the gun down.

There's bodies.

Yes, everywhere.

We have to call the cops.

We can't call them.

Oh, my God.

That isn't ketchup, is it?

I'm sorry.

What are you saying?

Dad.

I'm all dead.

Well, ma 'am, if someone's dead, we
should call for help. I'm going to reach

into my pocket for my phone, and we'll
call somebody. We'll get some help.

okay. Yeah, okay.

Okay.

Susan, take his phone.

His phone.

He's the doll keeper.

The serial killer.

That's his car outside. He killed them
all.

All the purse you need.

He's on his phone.

He's been keeping me a prisoner here all
night.

When have I ever let you down?

Ouch.

Now you fuck.

Help!

He's back there.

to our mutually beneficial exchange.

sorry you have to feel this look at me
look at me

Okay, go get on it.

Ah.

This is heaven.

Enough games now, Nova.

We mustn't keep Millie waiting.

Pop quiz.

Multiple choice.

Should Millie watch what happens to you,
or should you witness what I have

planned for her?

Truthfully,

Both options get you an A+.

You

know, on second thoughts, I think you
can go first.

Millie can keep me company for a long
time.

Not my style.

Desperate times.

You sure you don't want to ride to the
hospital?

Get yourself checked out?

Look, I just want to get her to bed.

If that's okay.

Absolutely.

We've got your statement.

We'll follow up if we need more.

Go get some rest.

Excuse me.

Nova!

So, it turns out that Benny's tip had an
ID number registered with the hotline.

The families have reviewed it and
they've made a decision.

They want you to have the money, Nova.

God knows you've earned it, kid.

All the information is here.

When I hold my mace, pop a stack, and I
laugh.

I'm a stupid cat, look at that, here you
go.
