Handsome: A Netflix Mystery Movie Page #4

---

Tell me about last night.

What did you see? What happened?

You may have saw or heard something

that you're not even aware of.

Ah, so true.

An actor's senses are so finely attuned.

Like a detective's.

Mmm...

Probably a little better

than a detective's,

but a little worse than a blind man

whose fingertips are so sensitive,

he can make words out of bumps.

Back to last night...

- What went on?

- Last night, last night...

Well... I pet sit

for my next-door neighbor,

so I went next door and fed the dog.

- You pet sit?

- I do.

Are you close with the neighbor?

You love dogs?

I seize any opportunity

to add to my actor's toolbox.

Should I have the opportunity to play

a pet sitter in some future project,

I know how they'll feel.

That's a real dedication to your craft.

It's my life.

When you were over there, did you see

anybody walkin' around, coming, going?

No, nothing. It was all quiet.

Not a creature was stirring on my lawn.

Well, I really don't think

the victim would've been stirring.

So you come back from your neighbor's.

You're home. What next?

Well... I got undressed for bed,

and I watched my movie!

Yes, it was on cable.

It's an old movie of mine from 1985.

Patty-Cake. I played Emil,

the baker man's illegitimate son.

- I think I remember that one.

- Mmm.

It's an early work, but underrated.

The scene where I'm crying and chanting,

"Patty-cake, patty-cake. "

I hold up my little hands

for my father to clap them,

and he rejects me.

Still holds up.

So, you're watching the movie.

Did you hear anything?

Mmm...

No.

Okay.

Uh, if you think of anything else,

please give me a call.

Do not text me. I don't enjoy it.

So you'll send me a special police detail

for my protection?

We're gonna keep an eye on things.

Don't worry.

Oh, thank you.

I'm used to a lot of attention.

You do know it's the ex-boyfriend,

don't you?

- Lieutenant Kenda.

- Detective Handsome.

Do not worry.

I've got all the angles covered.

It's always the ex-boyfriend.

It's the old, "If I can't have you,

no one will have you. "

- You see chopped up bodies a lot?

- Not a lot, but I've seen them.

You know what that says?

"To kill you is not enough.

I want to punish you. "

Very personal. Very close.

- Have you been stretching like I said?

- Occasionally.

You need to do it more than occasionally.

Limbers you up.

Hey!

Oh, sh*t.

Sorry, I thought you were my sitter.

Yeah, about that...

I'm, uh, Gene Handsome,

detective with the LAPD

and, coincidentally,

your next door neighbor.

- Oh, hi. Nice to meet you.

- Hi.

- Oh, sh*t. Did Heather get arrested?

- Why would you say that?

Sticky fingers. Yeah, she's stolen
