that boy lived here

- and didn't pay his rent.

- You sold it?!

For two months...

what was I supposed to do?

Who did you sell it to?

Mm-hmm!

Dead cats,

and he done killed himself,

and here, now, you

come here bugging me

about a damn computer.

You tell him he still

owe me a hundred bucks.

The bank didn't take

his raggedy-ass check.

Dexter McCarthy.

What, it bounced?

I guess that doesn't

really matter,

since you bought

a stolen computer.

She seemed pretty honest to me.

Why are you e-mailing me?

E-mailing you?

I don't even know who you are.

That computer belonged

to someone I know.

You found his password.

Now you're messing

with the people

in his address book?

That's a really shitty

thing to do.

Really?

Come here.

That's not possible.

I have a procrastination

problem.

It hasn't been plugged in...

since you bought it?

No. Look, stolen or not,

the thing cost me

to get me a refund?

Your boyfriend can have

his computer back.

Keep it.

He doesn't need it anymore.

He's dead.

Classic.

What's that?

It's from Josh.

This is his handwriting.

When was it sent?

Seventeenth.

That's two days before he died.

Keeps what out?

He obviously went nuts,

that's all.

What about Stone?

What about him?

Wait, what's up with Stone?

He didn't sound like himself.

I can't explain it.

Kinda got the same feeling.

The same feeling as what?

As when I was at Josh's.

Later on in this broadcast,

we'll show how

you and your family

can stay healthy and germ-free

at home and in the workplace.

And here's Skip Warren

with a late-breaking story.

A spokesman

for the County Health Department

is calling a recent cluster

of suicides in the city

"tragic and very unfortunate,"

and he added that there's

no evidence to suggest

that they are connected

in any way.

Hey.

Go on.

It's okay.

Okay.

Go ahead, I got it.

How well did you

actually know this guy?

- Why?

- 'Cause he was into

some scary sh*t.

Can I show you something?

What are we looking for?

You'll see.

So, your friend,

was it an accident?

No.

Then what was it?

I'm not sure.

I thought it was just looping

the same clips over and over

again, but it's not.

They don't always

do the same thing.

It's some kind of Web-cam feed.

Ah, Bag Man. Watch.

Every time he tries

to take it off,

the image just cuts... it goes

right back to the beginning.

How did this get on there?

All I did was plug it in.

How long have you been

watching this?

No, I think the question is,

is how long have they

been watching me?

Damn it.

Yeah?

Look, look, man...

Turn it off. Turn it off!

Turn it off.

I can't believe

you showed me that.

It was your friend's computer.
