you could look down at the TV station,

see if there's anything on Harlan Diehl?

Maybe some footage

I can cut in my piece?

Who?

(Chuckles) Harlan Diehl.

The guy that I'm doing

the video on for class?

What, that a true story?

True crime, yeah.

When did it happen?

Like 15 years ago.

I can text you the exact details.

- Yeah, I'll check it, sure.

- That'd be great.

(Rock music playing)

- See you later.

Stupid American trash

I'm just American trash.

Stupid American trash.

Quinn.

What happened to that equipment?

That stuff has to be cleared

before it's removed from the premises.

- You know that.

(phone ringing)

That's real cute.

That's real cute.

I'm watching you.

I'm watching you.

(Door closes)

(sighs)

(groans)

- So what's Nate getting you

- for your birthday?

- What's he getting me

- or what do I want?

- Both.

Well, what I want are tickets

to the Shiny Toy Guns concert.

Okay, what is he getting you?

Probably a vibrator.

(School bell rings)

(girls laugh)

Are you serious? Stop it.

No, I'm dead serious.

(chuckles)

Isn't my boyfriend

so incredibly romantic?

What is wrong with your sister?

I have no idea.

(Camera whirring)

(girls chattering)

(Static)

(cellphone buzzing)

Police have confirmed the multiple

homicide that took place here,

but they've offered

no explanation or possible motive.

From the street,

this home looks perfectly normal.

But inside it's anything but.

The police spent

the last 48 hours here

where they found

a family of four murdered.

Officers were called to the scene

at approximately 3:30 Monday morning,

alerted by a 911 call from Susie Diehl,

who was fighting for her life.

The officers are gone now,

but the questions remain:

How could something

like this happen?

And why?

This is Chris Safford, WPZM 13.

(Cellphone ringing)

(keyboard clicks)

Yeah. Yeah, I got it.

In an hour.

Yeah, whatever, dude, okay?

You can wait an hour. Relax.

When we dance we want the music loud.

We give you heaven and hell.

You know it's the only way for you.

Let your senses guide you through.

So don't stop...

Boy:

Hey, Brianna!

Girls:
Whoo!

(girls laugh)

(chuckles)

What I've always wanted.

Here comes

the best present of them all.

Hmm. Oh.

I wonder what this could be.

Riley and DeeDee: Hmm.

Drumroll please.

(mimics drumroll)

(boys chuckle)

- Oh.

- A favorite toy.

Oh Nate, that is a great gift.

Now Brianna can practice having

all four kinds of orgasms for you.

Four kinds?

I thought there was only one kind.

- The good kind.

(kids laugh)

Oh no, there are

four different kinds of orgasms.

- Brianna:
Yes.

- Didn't you know that?

Yeah, of course.

I knew that.

Well, you know,
