- 'I had narrowed the copycat down to Travers and Calhoun,

'and was way ahead of the hopeless cops,

'who haven't even found my fourth kill.

'Mum invited me for dinner with her new boyfriend, Walt.'

- Nice to see you again, Joe.

- 'I got cold meatloaf,

'while they treated themselves to roast chicken.

'I've inherited a cat called Karma, who cost me a bomb.

[CAT HISSES]

'Turns out, Karma really is a bitch.'

Pickle.

'She killed my boys.

'I thought Melissa was still fucking with me...'

I feel sick.

'...until she agreed to help me crack the case.

'I needed the help, so I got her to track down a lead.

'Wheelchair Wendy.

'I knew it.

'The copycat is Calhoun.

'Now to work out how to get into his hotel room

'without a keycard.'

[GRUNTS]

- Joe.

-[PANTS]

What the fuck are you doing here?

- Nothing.

- I know when I'm being watched, arsehole.

- I- I just wanted to talk to you.

- About what?

- Well, people are mean to me at work,

and I thought if I had a friend...

- What the fuck are you talking about?

- Travis is always picking on me,

and I was hoping that a friend could ask him to stop,

and you seem like a real nice guy.

- So why didn't you talk to me at the station?

Why did you follow me here? - Because if I asked you there,

you'd be a work friend, and I was hoping for an always friend.

- Look, I'm not here to hold your hand, all right?

- I didn't mean it like that.

Also, a friend could help me sign my passport application,

and that would really help.

No!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

- I'm not your friend.

Stay away from me, fucktard.

- 'You just picked on the wrong fucktard.

'Fucktard.'

[GRUNTS]

Ooh.

Oh.

- 'I bet that Sally would pay 50 bucks for these,

'if she knew where they'd been.

'Fuck you, Robert.

'Finding the copycat and killing you

'was only ever about the punishment.

'But not now. There's no way you're getting off that easy.'

[BONES CRACK]

'So, what's worse than killing you?'

Hey, guys. You know what I ought to do?

Ought to lock them in a room with Melissa,

and then he would disappear.

Then he would disappear off the face of the earth

and nobody would even know what happened to him.

You guys would've loved that.

- VOICEMAIL: You've dialled me. I'm unavailable.

- Um, hi, Joe. It's Sally.

I'm just a bit concerned that you're not here again.

I'm praying for you.

- Thank you so much for choosing us, again.

Lovely having you both back -

only staying in our penthouse, this time.

The view up there is amazing.

It's the- It's the best in the city.

All right. Well, this is for you.

- Thank you. - This is for your rooms,

for the elevator access. - Mm-hm.

- And if you need anything else, please don't hesitate to ask.

- Thanks so much. - No worries.

- Oh, no, not today. - Uh, sorry-

Mrs- Mrs Middleton?

- Well, that depends. - I called you earlier.

- Oh. Oh, of course.

Oh, how wonderful to meet one of Joe's friends.

- Thank you for seeing me.

As I said on the phone, I have some concerns about Joe.

- I know exactly what you mean.

- Do you? - Yes.

It's been obvious to me for years.

Why don't you come on in? - Oh.

Thank you.

[MUTED MUSIC ON HEADPHONES] [HUMS SOFTLY]

- If you scream, then I'll kill you. Do you understand?

Scream, and I'll kill you. Do you understand?

Good.

Do you want to live?

OK.

I'm going to take my hand away,

and you're going to be very quiet, aren't you?

Good.

What's your name?

- Lani.

- OK, Lani. I need your key card.

Got any kids, Lani?

- Yes.

- Would they miss you, do you think, if you were dead?

Or would you miss them if they were dead?

- STAMMERS: Please. Please don't hurt them.

- Well, it's up to you, Lani.

- [CRIES]

[WHIMPERS]

- I always thought more women would like him,

but he doesn't seem to have any interest in them.

He's...

different that way.

- My brother was the same.

- Your brother was that way too.

- He was.

He, um...

He died a few years ago.

- Joe's father died too -

just up and killed himself. I never saw it coming.

- I had no idea.

- I still think there's a chance for Joe.

- What do you mean?

- Oh, to find someone to make him happy.

I don't care who it is, as long as he's honest with himself.

Did Joe tell you about Walt?

- Walt? - Old friend of mine,

who I haven't seen in years.

Joe was out driving the other night, and-

- Joe... drives?

- Oh, well, of course Joe drives.

What kind of a car salesman doesn't drive?

Anyway, they got to talking, and the next thing I know,

he's coming over for dinner

(MUTED) and I am seeing him again tonight.

Well, that is... Joey shows up at my-

- I don't understand. - Neither do I.

We didn't raise him to be that way.

- No, sorry. I don't understand about...

what you said about Joe being a car salesman.

- Well, how can that be confusing?

I thought you said you were friends.

[BOTH LAUGH AWKWARDLY]

- Oh, I'm so sorry. I have to go.

But thank you so much for the drink, Mrs Middleton.

- Please call me Evelyn.

Next time you should stay longer.

Any friend of Joe's is a friend of mine.

Although, you are the first one I've ever met.

- STAMMERS: Thank you.

[DOOR BEEPS, WHIRRS]

[DOOR CREAKS]

- 'You'll do nicely.

'Perfect match.'

Lani Duncan.

You have a big choice to make, Lani Duncan.

Can either be in this thousand dollars in your hand right now

or in tomorrow morning's obituary.

Think of your children.

Otherwise, I will.

That's a good answer.

'Great answer, actually.

'I can't afford to make a crime scene at the same hotel

'Calhoun's staying at.'

I'm sure you'll work the rest out.

- The doctors recommended we have pizza tonight.

- Sorry?

- I said the doctors recommend we have pizza tonight

and a beer too.

- Oh. Did they?

- What's wrong?

- Just thinking,

I guess.

- About?

- Martin.

- It wasn't your fault, Sally.

- Wasn't it? I should have seen the signs.

I should have done something. - Martin hated that school

because of what those boys were doing to him.

But I was the one who left him there.

Haven't you punished yourself enough for his choice?

- I'm not punishing myself. - Well, then, what do you call

giving up your dreams to go and change light bulbs?

- [SIGHS] I do more than change light bulbs, Dad.

- I know, but you could have been helping people, Sally.

You could be doing what you love.

- Well...

I'm thinking of packing it all in anyway.

- You are?

- Someone needs to look after you.

- I don't need looking after. - If that were the truth,

you wouldn't have had a fall on the way to the dairy last week.

What were you thinking?

- I was thinking a man ought to be able to go and buy eggs

and not need the help of his daughter.

- I'm sorry.

- Tell you what -

if you promise to go back to nursing,

I promise to leave all the grocery shopping to you.

- Deal.

- You do know,

no matter what you do,

I'm proud of you, right?

I just want you to be happy.

[SAD MUSIC]

[DIAL TONE]

- 'This will keep you happy, Mum.

'I hope you're OK.

'I haven't heard from you in almost a day.'

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

'She's looking nice today.

'That colour suits her.

'I wonder, does she live alone?

'That must be the superintendent I've been hearing about.'

- We'll make a statement to the media this evening.

- $250,000.

- It's, by far, the biggest reward offered by Police

in this country.

- Something either of you would like to add?

- And what if we catch him? Do we get any of that?

- Is that some kind of joke?

- Um...

Maybe.

- Because first of all,

I don't appreciate the 'if' part of your question,

because you will find him. The Carver and his copycat,

and the reward for doing that is you get to keep your job.

Any questions? No?

'The copycat is standing right in front of you, lady.

'And when I'm done with him,

'he's going to be The Carver too.

[CELL PHONE CHIMES]

'An innocent man would show that to his colleagues.

'What are you going to do, Robert?'

- I just need to make a call.

- I knew it.

'My guess is strangling Becky

'didn't live up to the fantasy that Calhoun imagined.

'Leaving her alive left him feeling unfulfilled,

'and that sense of failure led him to Daniella Walker,

'following her home, confronting her, breaking her

'would have been one hell of an ego rush,

'but he already has his eye on somebody-

'Fuck.'

Can I help you?

- Where is it?

- Where's what?

[GRUNTS]

- Where'd you put it?

- Put what?

[BREATHES HEAVILY]

- I know it was you. - I don't understand!

- Your phone, arsehole! Where did you put your phone?

- I don't have a phone.

- Oh, yeah? Let's find out.

- I don't.

[DIAL TONE]

- I don't want to be your friend any more.

- Clean this shit up.

- 'Thank God this thing's not waterproof.'

[TRAM BELL DINGS]

- Why aren't you answering your phone?

- It died.

- Don't fuckin' lie to me, Joe.

What happened?

- It got wet. - Well, put it in a bag of rice.

It'll be fine.

- There's a problem.

- You can get rice anywhere, Joe.

- No. Wendy saw my face, and the police are offering a reward.

- So?

- You said Wendy wasn't going to say anything to the police,

but she knows Becky went there.

And then you went there, asking all these questions.

- Right. So when she hears about the reward, she'll contact them.

- We need to pay her another visit.

- So pleased to hear you say 'we'.

- You don't have a problem with me

killing a woman in a wheelchair?

- Are you killing her cos she's in a wheelchair,

or are you killing her cos she's a loose end?

- Cos she's a loose end.

- Why would you even ask me, then?

God.

[TRAM BELL DINGS]

- 'Why can't people just leave me in peace?

'When all of this is over,

'not only am I going to get rid of my cell phone

'but my landline too.'

- VOICEMAIL: Joe, it's your mother.

- No shit.

- There's been an accident. It's Walt. We're at the hospital.

Call me on my cell phone as soon as you get this.

- 'Jesus. Only the one message. It must be bad.'

[PHONE BUTTONS BEEP]

[DIAL TONE]

- Joe. Oh, thank God you called.

You know, you really should get a cell phone.

- Mum- - Well, you should.

I looked up the Everblue Cars and couldn't find it.

Walt said maybe it was Neverblue,

but we couldn't find that either.

- 'Shit. Subject change.'

Are you OK? What- What happened?

- I chipped a tooth, for starters.

- Well, shouldn't you have gone to the dentist?

- Don't be stupid, Joe.

Of course I know that, and I've already been.

But it's Walt. He broke his hip, and he's a terrible pain.

- Walt? What- What happened?

- If you owned a cell phone, you'd know all this already.

- Mum. - He slipped in the shower.

I had to call an ambulance. It was scary and exciting too,

because I've never been in one before, and Walt stayed strong.

Oh, and the ambulance driver had a moustache.

- You were at his house when he was showering?

- We- I mean, he was showering here.

- You took a shower together? - Of course we didn't.

But even if we did, we're pensioners, Joe.

We can't afford to waste hot water.

So, yes, we were showering together.

Now, don't you go making a big deal out of nothing.

- 'Don't ask, Don't ask.'

So, Mum...

'Don't ask.'

How'd you chip the tooth?

Walt kicked me in the mouth when he fell over.

'Stop now, Joe.'

But how? - How what?

- ECHOING: Dad.

Why were you in the shower with Mr Harper?

- Listen, Joe, I don't want to leave you. I really don't.

But it's for the best. - You can't leave me.

- You still have your mother.

- But that's what I mean. You can't leave me with her.

- The decision isn't yours.

- That's where you're wrong.

- PHONE: Oh, my goodness.

And a delightful figure.

And I thought, well, now, she's lovely,

and perhaps Joe isn't like his dad after all.

- Sorry? - Weren't you listening?

- The phone cut out. - Oh, hey, hang on.

[CLATTERING]

Is that better? - Perfect, Mum.

- I was saying your girlfriend came around today.

-' Melissa.'

- She wanted to know all about you.

- What did you say? - I told her about Walt.

- Evelyn!

- Speaking of which, he's asking for me. I'll talk soon, Joe.

- Wait, Mum.

Mum.

Mum.

- Boo.

- You visited my mother. - What?

- She said you came by and saw her.

- I really don't know what you're talking about.

Do we have a problem here?

- You really didn't? - No. I really didn't.

- 'Was Mum high on medication, or is Melissa lying?'

- So do you want to hang around out here

talking about your mummy, or shall we do this?

- What the fuck are you doing in my house?

- Where do you think you're going?

[INDISTINCT STRUGGLING, YELPING]

[EERIE MUSIC]

- [GROANS]

- [WHIMPERS]

What the frick are you doing?

- Shh.

It's nothing.

Do you know, I was just about to say it's nothing personal?

[LAUGHS]

- Do you know what? That is really funny because it is...

nothing personal.

- Yeah.

Shh.

[MUFFLED YELPING]

- Shh, shh.

- Right.

[SIGHS]

- What the hell? I thought you said you're going to help.

- I did help. Now I'm here to watch.

[MUFFLED YELPING]

[MUFFLED SCREAM]

- [GRUNTS] - [SQUELCHING, MUFFLED SCREAM]

- What are you looking for?

- Walt gave her, like, 400 bucks.

She's just not going to use it.

- 'I'm sorry, Wendy. You were a fellow fish lover.

'a fellow god. In another life, we could have been friends.'

- What was all that about? - Huh?

- With the knife and the blood.

- It's for the copycat.

- You're framing Barb the copycat for everything?

- I am.

- You're leaving The Carver to him in history.

When?

- I'm working on it, but I need more time.

- No hurry, Joe.

We got all the time in the world.

- 'I hate to admit it,

'but having Melissa with me when I killed Wheelchair Wendy

'was actually pretty nice.

'That doesn't mean I want her tagging along on anything

'in the future, and I still have to put her in her place.

'But all in all, I liked sharing the moment with Melissa.

Plus, spending some of that time

'imagining she was the one I was stabbing didn't hurt.

So, this is what the Sallys of the world mean

when they say God gives you a sign.

'I've got you now, Calhoun.

'Where the hell is it?

[CAT MEOWS]

HISSES: Yes.

Welcome home,

Jehovah and Pickle.

[SIGHS]

'It's been a pretty wonderful day, boys.'

[PHONE RINGS]

Can't send it yet.

- Something definitely familiar about this guy.

- Agreed. He looks like my divorce lawyer.

- He just has one of those faces.

- Given that Wendy was murdered

the day that a reward is offered,

suggests that she saw something that she didn't know

that she should share or didn't feel like sharing.

- Let's get as many bodies as we can

canvassing the area and interviewing guests

and get them taking that sketch down with them.

- Well, we will. But we're low on people.

- Let's stop surveillance in the previous crime scenes.

- Even the Walker house?

- Carver has no reason to go back there. He's made his point.

[PHONE VIBRATES]

Lightning doesn't strike in the same place

three times, Detective.

- 'Actually, you're wrong about that.'

- And we could ask the neighbours to be vigilant.

- What neighbours? Half of them have gone.

- Detective.

- Why the fuck is this guy in here?

- Excuse me?

- Rob, you OK?

- Yeah. Sorry.

- You, out.

- OK, let's take the team from the surveillance around...

[PHONE DINGS]

- Hi, Joe. - Hi.

- Ooh, sorry.

Do you- Oh. - I got it.

- When did you get a phone?

- 'When people wouldn't leave me alone.'

- Uh, just today. I got it in case of emergencies.

- And you're feeling better?

- Oh, that. Yeah.

I just had something that disagreed with me,

but I feel a lot better now, Sally. Thank you.

- I'm glad to hear it.

Oh, thank you.

- 'Please don't follow me. Please don't follow me.'

- Because I've been worried about you.

- 'She followed.'

- What with the attack on you

and with you not feeling well the other day,

I came to your house,

and when you weren't home, I went to go and see your mother.

- You what? - Your mother is lovely.

- 'She must have gone to the wrong house.'

- However, some of the things she said didn't make sense.

- 'Shit. So it was the Sally.'

My mother says a lot of things that don't make sense.

She's not very well.

- Oh, she seemed to think that you're a car salesman.

- Two weeks ago, she forgot to take her medication

and thought I was a pilot. She needs to be in a home.

- Sorry to hear that, Joe.

If there's anything I can do to help...

- I'll keep that in mind, Sally. Thanks.

- Listen, Joe, I...

I wanted you to hear this from me.

I'm leaving.

- OK. - Oh, no, no.

I mean, I'm leaving for good.

Like, I'm going back to nursing.

- Oh.

- But we can still keep in touch,

now that we have each other's numbers

and now that you've got a cell phone.

- OK.

- OK. I'll let you get back to work.

- 'Finally.

'A month from now, I won't even remember who she was.'
