- Is that a normal

question, detective?

Or do you think my

16 year old daughter

killed her great grandmother?

- We found a puncture

wound on her chest,

consistent with a stabbing.

This is all so confusing.

There's no evidence of a

struggle, no defensive wounds,

no signs of forced entry.

- I don't want to

stay here, Adam.

- [Detective] That's

completely up to you.

We swept the are

and found nothing.

- If he says it's

safe, it's safe, okay?

It'd be better for

Charlie to stay put.

The place looks fine.

- No, I don't want to be

in this house right now.

- Okay.

- That's perfectly fine.

Again, thank you for your time.

I'll be in touch if I have

any further questions.

- The little monster did it.

- The little monster?

- It killed Grandma and

ran back into that box.

- He was saying that last night.

- He's got an imagination.

Since his brother passed away,

he has some trouble

with reality.

- Well, what happened?

- Does that have any bearing

on this case, detective?

- Charlie, I've been

doing this a long time,

and I've seen my fair

share of monsters.

If a monster did kill your

grandma, I'll catch him.

I always do.

Again, I'm sorry for your loss.

- Anna, you need to call me.

This is serious.

You need to come home.

I've called her,

I've texted her.

She's not responding.

This is getting

really old, Adam.

- Could lock her

in the basement.

Maybe.

Hey.

Come here.

She's gonna be okay.

Alright?

(phone buzzing)

(doorbell ringing)

- Adam, there's someone

from your office.

- Natalie.

- Natalie.

- Oh, hey, how are you?

- Hey.

You left this

paperwork on your desk,

so I just wanted to bring it by.

- Oh, right, thank you.

- You have a lovely home, Julie.

- Oh, thank you.

It was actually

my grandmother's.

- Ah.

- Yeah, would you like

a drink or something?

- Water would be

great, thank you.

- Sure.

- Thanks.

What do you think you're doing?

- I wanted to see you.

And you're not replying

to my messages.

- I'm gonna get caught.

Is that what you want?

- Maybe.

Would it be such a bad thing?

- Yes, it would be terrible.

I'll explain later,

but I need time,

and I need you to leave, now.

- Okay.

- Alright, I'll

see you on Monday.

- She had to leave?

- Yeah.

She had to go.

- She's pretty.

- Hadn't noticed.

- So the plan is we

just drive around

and wait til our families

forget about us, or what?

Look, I'm totally out of

cash, and I'm starving.

You gotta be hungry too.

I mean, remember, you're

eating for two now.

- God, you are so stupid.

- Well, you can't just

run away from this.

Let's just go to your house,

I'll get something to eat,

and we'll sit down
