[ Mid-tempo music playing on radio ]

Do you have to have that rubbish

in the house?

M R. THOMSON:
Pardon?

l said, do you have to read

that rubbish in the house?

What's wrong with it?

Are you serious?

Its disgusting.

Its violent pornography.

You should put it upstairs

in the study

with your other magazines.

At least put it

where Suzy can't see it.

We've got gruesome death

out there on the streets,

and you need to read about it

in some magazine?

[ Chuckles ]

Darling, it's a little pathetic.

l am worried about Suzy.

M R. THOMSON:
What's new?

[ Gasps ]

l know what we should do!

We should put bars

on her windows.

What?

Well, locks.

Well, what if there's a fire?

What if she can't get out

the front door 'cause it's blocked?

Forget fires, Frank!

What about intruders?

People trying to break in

to the house?

Oh, please. Fires are the last thing

we need to worry about.

Also, l think

that she's been sneaking out

when we haven't been looking.

This way, we could make sure

that she's not gonna get out.

At least she stopped seeing

that Italian stallion.

Only problem now is

she's seeing that boy next door.

Alan's boy?

Whoever he is.

Well, isn't that a good thing?

It'd be safer, wouldn't it?

You think?

Yeah.

[ Scoffs ]

Excuse me, but it's bad enough

that we have to live

across the street

from his father after that. . .

incident years back.

Frank, he's very weird.

And have you noticed

the new wife?

l always see her

down at the shopping mall.

She's always down there

in that store looking --

l don't know --

using the word "common"

would be far too kind.

And the boy's just strange.

He's always creeping around

the neighborhood with his camera,

spying like some juvenile pervert.

Im not having it.

Mnh-mnh.

Will you get the locks?

Chin chin.

[ Glasses clink ]

These tell us nothing.

What?!

Well -- well,

what about the bathtub?

That's too obvious.

l mean, killers aren't going

to dissolve body parts

in their backyard, are they?

Besides, they're all skinny girls.

No meat on them.

Well, except maybe for Teresa.

She had a fat ass and no tits.

This is just the start of it, Danny.

You haven't even scratched

the surface yet.

[ Music box plays ]

That's Mrs. Howatt,

Amanda's mum.

She'll be waiting

until hell freezes over.

l can't believe only four days ago

l called her a b*tch.

A b*tch one day and gone the next.

That's the Dispina family.

The oldest daughter, Sofia,

told me last year

that their father

won't leave them alone. . .

if you know what l mean.

This is the street's biggest mystery.

Why does she stand there all day?

There are answers to things

in that house, Danny.
