00:00:30All right, we are leaving the flatlands, and we are heading up towards the mountaintop,
00:00:52which I'll show you right here.
00:00:57Way up there.
00:01:00Not sure who I'm meeting.
00:01:03The ad said $1,000 for the day, filming services.
00:01:07Discretion is appreciated.
00:01:10Whatever that means.
00:01:16So here's a thought.
00:01:18What if this is just some 40-something who's sitting alone in her apartment, waiting for
00:01:25some young, handsome boy to come up the hill and give rubdowns, money, and whisper sweet
00:01:38nothings?
00:01:38It's just a thought.
00:01:41Cute little lake.
00:01:48Cute little town.
00:01:52What if this is promising?
00:01:54What if this is promising?
00:01:56What if this is promising?
00:01:58What is that?
00:02:00What if this is promising?
00:02:01What if this is promising?
00:02:02What if this is promising?
00:02:03What if this is promising?
00:02:04Is that a yellow door?
00:02:05What if this is promising?
00:02:05What if this is monitoring?
00:02:06This is promising.
00:02:15Is that a yellow door?
00:02:36Okay, no answer and no voicemail, so that's good.
00:03:03Okay, so I think it's smarter if I wait in the car.
00:03:32I don't think this guy is showing up.
00:03:41Which is too...
00:03:43Hi!
00:03:44Oh, I'm sorry.
00:03:45I didn't even scare you.
00:03:46Oh, it's okay.
00:03:47I'm assuming you're Aaron?
00:03:49Yeah, Aaron.
00:03:50Let's do it.
00:03:51Joseph.
00:03:52Oh my God.
00:03:53Oh my God.
00:03:54Oh my God.
00:03:56This is gonna be a good day.
00:03:59Yeah.
00:04:00Yeah.
00:04:01You have a really nice, kind face.
00:04:06Sure.
00:04:07Thanks.
00:04:08Come on.
00:04:09Okay.
00:04:10I feel like we should just do this right now because at the end of the day it's gonna
00:04:17be normal, so we'll just...
00:04:18Oh, okay.
00:04:19Yeah.
00:04:20Trust me, that's not gonna be anything weird at all.
00:04:30Never get used to those stairs.
00:04:33Okay.
00:04:34Alright.
00:04:35So welcome.
00:04:38This is our family vacation home.
00:04:42A lot of special memories.
00:04:44You can see, check out these paintings.
00:04:45I made these with my dad when I was younger.
00:04:50So, I'm sure you're anxious to get started.
00:04:53Yeah.
00:04:54On all of this.
00:04:55Okay.
00:04:56Let's get you over here.
00:04:58I am a cancer survivor.
00:05:00I had cancer in the liver, spread to the lungs.
00:05:03It looked pretty bad.
00:05:04They gave me the chemo.
00:05:05I knocked it out, really.
00:05:07And it went into remission immediately.
00:05:09It was pretty incredible.
00:05:11Unfortunately, two months ago, I started getting these dizzy spells.
00:05:15And some sort of weird cognitive misfirings.
00:05:20I went back in to see the doctor.
00:05:23Brain tumor, size of a baseball, here.
00:05:26Oh, yeah.
00:05:27That's inoperable.
00:05:28So, they gave me about two to three months to live.
00:05:31I'm hoping I beat it.
00:05:32You know?
00:05:33And the power of positive thinking, maybe.
00:05:36You know?
00:05:37Who knows?
00:05:38But in case I don't, I'm married.
00:05:43My beautiful wife, Angela, of six years.
00:05:45Is pregnant with our first child.
00:05:47Hi, buddy.
00:05:48We're calling it buddy.
00:05:51And have you ever seen the film, My Life?
00:05:54No.
00:05:55It's a beautiful, beautiful film.
00:05:57Michael Keaton gets cancer in the film.
00:05:59And he makes a video diary of himself for his unborn son.
00:06:04Oh, okay.
00:06:06Yeah.
00:06:07Yeah, you can see.
00:06:08So, our job today is to keep that camera rolling, as we discussed.
00:06:12And I just want you to walk with me.
00:06:17I don't know exactly what I'm going to do.
00:06:20I want you to document me how I am.
00:06:22I don't need to glorify me or make me seem cool or anything other than what I am.
00:06:27So, buddy, you can see me for the man I was.
00:06:31And I hope you're up for it.
00:06:35Okay.
00:06:36Yeah?
00:06:37Yeah.
00:06:38Yeah.
00:06:39Yeah.
00:06:40Let's do it.
00:06:41I thought you were going to run away.
00:06:42No.
00:06:43Okay.
00:06:44I don't know.
00:06:45This is for you.
00:06:46Oh, no.
00:06:47No, no, no.
00:06:48Take the whole thing.
00:06:49This is no longer a business transaction.
00:06:50Okay?
00:06:51Okay.
00:06:52Okay.
00:06:53Okay.
00:06:54This is for you.
00:06:55Oh, no.
00:06:56No, no, no.
00:06:57Take the whole thing.
00:06:59This is no longer a business transaction.
00:07:02Okay?
00:07:03Okay.
00:07:04This is a partnership.
00:07:07And this is a journey into the heart.
00:07:10And I'm real glad it's you coming with me.
00:07:15I think we're going to do great.
00:07:17You ready for this?
00:07:20Okay.
00:07:21Let's do it.
00:07:22I'm going to go get in the tub.
00:07:28The tub?

00:07:42Okay?
00:07:43Yeah, yeah.

00:07:50You sure?
00:07:51Yep.

00:07:54You want a sandwich or anything?
00:07:55No.
00:07:56I'm okay.
00:07:57I'm okay.
00:07:58All right.
00:07:59Maybe we want to get out of the tub.
00:08:00Okay.
00:08:01You sure?
00:08:02Yeah.
00:08:03Okay.
00:08:04You sure you're not hungry?

00:08:25All right, buddy.
00:08:27Welcome to your first tubby.
00:08:30When I was your age, I used to take tubs with my dad.
00:08:33We'd call them tubby time.
00:08:34And it was pretty much the greatest time of the day.
00:08:38So, since you and I might not get to do a tubby together, I thought we would have our first tubby right here.
00:08:47You ready?
00:08:48Okay.
00:08:49All right.

00:31:27maybe my browser's history was full
00:31:33i went home
00:31:34i
00:31:35opened up the internet
00:31:41aaron such unspeakable things
00:31:43i saw
00:31:50pornography
00:31:52mostly animal pornography
00:31:53there's only two people
00:31:58who use that internet
00:32:01me
00:32:02and my wife angela
00:32:05and i was not looking at animal pornography
00:32:07i confronted angela
00:32:14she flat out denied it
00:32:16what could i say
00:32:17i knew it was her
00:32:23this lie drove a wedge between us
00:32:25and we
00:32:27began to drift apart
00:32:28one weekend
00:32:34i said we should
00:32:35come up to the cabin
00:32:37right here
00:32:40but on saturday i was called back to work
00:32:42so i left angela here by herself
00:32:47the thing is i wasn't really called back to work
00:32:52i went down the street
00:32:53to the 99 cent store
00:32:58there i found
00:33:00a mask
00:33:03it was a wolf
00:33:04three hours later
00:33:08i came back to the house
00:33:11i put the mask on
00:33:14i broke in through the back window
00:33:16angela
00:33:18angela was asleep
00:33:22i tied her up
00:33:24at which point she awoke
00:33:26at which point
00:33:28we proceeded to have
00:33:31ravenous
00:33:32animalistic
00:33:34sexual intercourse
00:33:39i'd never seen her so happy
00:33:41i have to admit it didn't feel terrible on my end
00:33:50i escaped through the window and left her there tied up
00:33:55when i came back the next morning
00:33:58as myself i asked her how her night was
00:34:04she
00:34:06said it was fine

00:34:11her
00:34:14we never spoke of it

00:46:20I've talked to Angela.
00:46:43I know.
00:46:49I know.
00:46:51Joseph, please let me go.
00:47:21Are you going to let me go?
00:47:34Why are you doing this to me?
00:47:40Are you just trying to scare me, or okay, well I'm terrified, okay?
00:47:48You won.
00:47:49Now, will you just please step aside and let me go.
00:47:56Stop.
00:47:57Stop it.
00:47:58Stop it!
00:47:59Stop it!
00:48:00Stop it!
00:48:01Stop it!
00:48:02Stop it!
00:48:03Stop it!
00:48:04Stop it!
00:48:19Stop it!
00:48:20Stop it.
00:48:24Stop it!
00:48:27Stop it.
00:48:28Stop it!
00:49:59Don't know where he went. He just ran off. I, uh, had to get my car towed, and now I'm home.
00:50:08And, you know, I thought this was over. I was just writing it off as just a weird thing
00:50:17that happened. Um, and lo and behold, a few days later, I got this in the mail, which means
00:50:31he knows my address. It's a little disconcerting. I don't know. I'm kind of having trouble interpreting
00:50:44it. I guess that's a, he's supposed to be digging a grave there, and, you know, there's these
00:50:52bags. I don't know if that's supposed to be a body or something in the bags that's chopped
00:51:03up. Um, I mean, is that supposed to be me? Okay, you know what? We are just going to get
00:51:16rid of this, and pretend like it didn't happen. There we go. That's it.
00:51:27Okay. Maybe that's not it. I've been having crazy-ass dreams tonight.
00:51:42And it's me and Joseph, and we're at the Heart Rock, only it's a hot tub, and we're just,
00:51:56we're both sitting in it, and he's got the peach fuzz mask on, and I don't think that's
00:52:04weird, because I have one on, too. Only mine's like a, like a baby mask, baby wolf.
00:52:12And we're drinking wine, and then he leans over to me, and he just starts pouring the wine
00:52:23over my head. And I look down, and I realize I'm, I'm a little baby, and he's given me a
00:52:34tubby. And there's something weird about the water, and I put my hand in it, and reach up,
00:52:45and it's just covered in blood. This is a weird dream.
00:52:56I've got to stop thinking about this guy.
00:53:04Just heard the doorbell ring while I was in the bathroom, and the delivery guy left this
00:53:16on my doorstep. Now I return the dress, so I've got a good idea of who it's from.
00:53:27I'm a pig.
00:53:38I'm a pig.
00:53:42I'm a pig.
00:53:46I'm a pig.
00:53:50All right.
00:54:20All right.
00:54:36Hey.
00:54:38So, just to clear the air, I do want to apologize for that last video I sent you.
00:54:44It was a little manipulative and a bit of an emotional response, and I'm sorry about that.
00:54:50But in all fairness, I wasn't quite in my right head because, well, you did drug me.
00:54:57I found the empty Benadryl bottle in the house, and I got to say, pretty cool move.
00:55:04So, the way I see it is tit for tat, no hard feelings, but just in case, I thought I'd
00:55:11send you this little gift to clear the air between us and make sure we're cool.
00:55:15I'm assuming by now you have the knife, and you have the video, and you're watching.
00:55:20But if you haven't found the third element, I would encourage you to press pause now and
00:55:24dig a little deeper.
00:55:24And let's go ahead.
00:55:25Let's go ahead.
00:55:26Let's go.
00:55:27I'm sorry.
00:55:28It looks cool.
00:55:44I love wolves because they love deeply, but they don't know how to express it and they're
00:56:13often very violent and quite frankly murder the things that they love. And inside of the wolf
00:56:22is this beautiful heart. And yeah, it's misguided. And yeah, occasionally it murders things. And
00:56:29this little wolf was so cute. It reminded me of you, honestly. You know, that moment I scared you
00:56:34in the woods and there was murder in your eyes, but it was like, it was baby murder. You're not
00:56:39ready to accept that yet. But I want to encourage you to embrace your inner wolf. So take the
00:56:45wolf, enjoy it. And more importantly, take the knife and don't be afraid to murder it because
00:56:53when you stick a knife in something and you gut it and you really dig inside, I don't know,
00:57:01man. There's all this beautiful stuff. And, um, I got a little surprise for you in there.
00:57:08See you soon, buddy.
00:57:14See you soon, buddy.
00:57:44Oh, my God.
00:57:51Oh, my God.
00:58:07Time to call the cops.
00:58:24Hi. Hi. My name is Aaron Franklin. I'm calling to report a violent domestic incident and a stalker.
00:58:30Well, I don't know if he's dangerous dangerous, but he's really weird and super creepy and I'm starting to get scared for my safety.
00:58:37His name is Joseph. Or at least I think it is. He lies a lot.
00:58:43No, I don't know. I don't know his last name.
00:58:47No, I don't know where he lives. We met at a cabin he claimed was his, but I looked it up and it's just some rental.
00:59:02No, I have no way of finding him or contacting him.
00:59:06Well, there must be something you can do. Can't you send someone over to take fingerprints or something?
00:59:13He sent me a heart locket and a knife. You could use those.
00:59:19Well, I'm glad you're taking this seriously. You guys have been entirely unhelpful.
00:59:23I'm sure I'll be sleeping soundly tonight.
00:59:37So...
00:59:40I'm still having nightmares.
00:59:46I'm just like...
00:59:48the same one over and over again. Just slightly different.
01:00:11Anyway, it's like we're...
01:00:13we're still in a hot tub, but...
01:00:15a hot tub has like these like...
01:00:18retractable spikes.
01:00:20And...
01:00:21when you sit down on them, it's like they...
01:00:24they push up.
01:00:25But you...
01:00:28Okay.
01:00:29Okay.
01:00:30Okay.
01:00:31Okay.
01:00:32Lights.
01:00:33Lights.
01:00:35Lights.
01:00:36Lights.
01:00:37Lights.

01:00:49Peace.
01:00:50Lights.
01:00:51Is anybody here?
01:00:55Hello?
01:01:01Joseph?
01:01:06If there's anyone trespassing on the premises, let it be known, I have a knife.
01:01:27I'm not afraid to use it.
01:01:33I...
01:02:03Jesse.
01:02:10Hello?
01:02:18Joseph?
01:02:31Hello?
01:02:33Joseph?
01:02:48Is there anyone there?
01:02:52Yes.
01:03:07Yes.
01:03:22Goddammit, Cass.
01:03:26Yes.
01:03:39Yes.
01:04:48The last couple nights have been pretty normal until this.
01:04:55This is where I sleep.
01:04:59This is a broken screen in my window.
01:05:02This is not good.
01:05:04All right.
01:05:06Hey, Aaron.
01:05:23I get this.
01:05:26You know, you get a grave digging video in the mail.
01:05:28You throw it away.
01:05:29That's not a big deal.
01:05:30This was harder for me to accept.
01:05:35And this hurt me because I made this for you.
01:05:39And it was representative of our friendship and that bond that you and I made together.
01:05:44That heart rock right over there.
01:05:46And you threw it away.
01:05:48And when I found it in your trash can, I got my heart broken.
01:05:55And if I'm honest, it sent me into a little spiral.
01:05:59And I had some inappropriate and wrong thoughts about what I wanted to do to you and to myself, honestly.
01:06:09And that was a red flag.
01:06:10And it scared me.
01:06:12And I thought a lot about it.
01:06:14And I realized something.
01:06:16And it's that you were right.
01:06:21You know, you were right to throw that away.
01:06:24Because we're not friends.
01:06:26Our whole relationship is based on bullshit and lies that I made up.
01:06:31And I'm sorry about that.
01:06:34And I want to be done with it.
01:06:35And that's why I'm talking to you today.
01:06:37Okay?
01:06:38This is my attempt to be real and truthful and honest with you.
01:06:45And I'm not sure I'm capable of it.
01:06:47But I'm going to try.
01:06:49Okay?
01:06:50To explain to you the truth.
01:06:52And the truth is, I am...
01:07:08The truth is, I don't know.
01:07:09This is hard to talk about, you know?
01:07:11I don't know what's wrong with me.
01:07:13I've always done this.
01:07:15I've been pretending my whole life.
01:07:19And then there was this phase where I was like,
01:07:21Hey, I'll just be an actor.
01:07:23Because that's what actors do to pretend.
01:07:24So I went headlong into that.
01:07:26And then, you know, it did nothing for me.
01:07:28Because it wasn't real.
01:07:29Like, I could only get off on it unless it was real.
01:07:32And so I saw doctors.
01:07:34And some of them thought, Hey, you know, he's crazy.
01:07:37And some thought not.
01:07:38And there were medications.
01:07:39But none of that helped me.
01:07:42And it's led me to a terrible place.
01:07:50I don't have any friends.
01:07:52I've burned every bridge.
01:07:54My sisters.
01:07:55My parents.
01:07:57I have nothing.
01:07:58And I need somebody to talk to.
01:08:00And I'm hoping that your kindness is huge.
01:08:03And that even though I burned that bridge.
01:08:05And you have no reason to trust me at all.
01:08:08That you will give me a chance to talk to you.
01:08:14And at the very least explain myself to you.
01:08:17And if you never want to see me again, that's fine.
01:08:20At least we'll have closure.
01:08:22But I'm going to be here.
01:08:25At Lake Gregory.
01:08:26Tomorrow at 11am.
01:08:28And if the public place is wide open.
01:08:31It's completely safe.
01:08:33And I promise you.
01:08:34You don't have to be afraid of me at all.
01:08:37I just want a chance to show you who I really am.
01:08:41And the truth of me.
01:08:43Because the truth is.
01:08:46I am a lonely person.
01:08:48And I'm a sad person.
01:08:53And I really need a friend.
01:08:57And you're the only chance that I have.
01:09:00What the hell am I supposed to do with this?
01:09:30Look at him.
01:09:36He's so sad.
01:09:45Alright Joseph.
01:09:46I'm here.
01:09:48You got me.
01:09:50But know that I'm filming this.
01:09:52And my phone is set to speed dial to 911.
01:10:00Now, one, two, three, two, four.
01:10:03How much is that?
01:10:04I'm at the table, who is not so good.
01:10:05But know that I'm in one minute.
01:10:06That's what I'm doing.
01:10:07Yes, it's out there.
01:10:08Not that I am.
01:10:11Well, I have a little bit of a little bit of a time.
01:10:12It's okay.
01:10:13It's okay.
01:10:14No, it's not okay.
01:10:15It's okay.
01:10:16It's okay.
01:10:17It's okay.
01:10:18I'm not sure.
01:10:19It's okay.
01:10:20I am.
01:10:21I am.
01:10:22I am.
01:10:23It's okay.
01:10:24It's okay.
01:14:56Great.
01:14:56Great.
01:14:57Well, I look forward to meeting you.
01:15:01Okay.
01:15:02All right.
01:15:03See you tomorrow, buddy.

01:15:41Just keeps on giving
