He’s rich, he’s handsome, he’s powerful… and he’s completely unhinged. American Psycho isn’t just a thriller—it’s a razor-sharp satire of greed, excess, and the darkness hiding behind the perfect smile. In this movie recap, we dive into the twisted real story of Patrick Bateman, a Wall Street banker who spends his days chasing bank money and status, and his nights spiraling into a brutal world of ego, and fake reality illusions.
Our review breaks down the shocking layers of the film, from Bateman’s obsession with luxury suits and business cards to the chaotic unraveling of his sanity. Is he really committing these crimes, or is it all in his head? That’s where the ending explained comes in—we’ll expose the truth behind the madness and why this film still sparks debate decades later.
But this isn’t just about horror—it’s about power. Bateman plays the ultimate bully, hiding behind money and charm, but in reality he’s waging war against his own emptiness. If you’ve ever wondered how to beat someone with wealth, charm, and possible super powers of manipulation, this breakdown has answers.
And while American Psycho is no American comedy or prison comedy like Big Stan or Let’s Go to Prison, it carries darkly funny undertones and moments that feel like a satire of high society. Behind Bateman’s psychotic grin are layers of secret fighting techniques, savage one-liners, and surreal moments that could rival the brutality of Rambo or the cold precision of The Terminator. Add in the modern “alpha male” obsession and you’ll see why Patrick Bateman is often (mis)labeled as the ultimate sigma archetype.
If you like movies that blend dark humor, psychological horror, and social critique, American Psycho is one of the best to watch—and in this recap, we’ll show you exactly why Bateman is still one of cinema’s most disturbing (and oddly fascinating) characters.

Short filmTranscript
00:00My name is Patrick Bateman. I'm 27 years old.
00:03I have all the characteristics of a human being.
00:06Flesh, blood, skin, hair.
00:08But not a single clear, identifiable emotion,
00:11except for greed and disgust.
00:19At work, the secretary's sorting his schedule
00:21when Patrick, all slick and sharp-tongued,
00:24lays into her fashion choices,
00:26telling her what to wear and what to ditch.
00:28Though he still tosses a nod at her beauty to keep it slick.
00:32Do not wear that outfit again.
00:33And high heels. I like high heels.
00:37Heading to dinner, he's just trying to zone out with good tunes.
00:40Headset blasting.
00:41But his fiancée, Evelyn, keeps yapping about marriage,
00:44even though he's made it clear he ain't ready.
00:46He's all about fitting into his pop's company,
00:48and whether she's cool with it or not, he's sticking to his plan.
00:50At the restaurant, they do quick intros and sit to order.
00:54Timothy, the guy Patrick knows is banging Evelyn on the side,
00:57slides in next to her, and they're all chummy, cracking jokes.
01:00He keeps that intel locked down, not letting on,
01:03but he's wondering if she's got any clue.
01:05He's also fooling around with Courtney,
01:06the good-looking pharma doc, who's her best friend,
01:09even though she's engaged to some guy named Luis.
01:11The table's buzzing,
01:12and the crew's shooting the breeze about global messes.
01:15We have to provide food and shelter for the homeless.
01:19Wars, famine, all that noise.
01:20The guy's fired up, preaching about stomping out apartheid,
01:23cooling the heat on nukes, shutting down terrorism,
01:26and kicking world hunger to the curb.
01:28He's all in on fighting racism, pushing civil rights,
01:31and making sure gender equality gets its due, no question.
01:34Heading out, Patrick's prowling a dark alley,
01:36spotting a bum who nods along, saying he's freezing,
01:39starving, and needs work.
01:40The guy dangles a job offer, then flips in a heartbeat,
01:43barking about the dude's stink.
01:45His blood's boiling now.
01:46And while the bum's all hopeful,
01:48thinking he's found a saint,
01:49he digs into his briefcase.
01:51You know how bad you smell?
01:52You're so hungry, why didn't you get a job?
01:54I lost my job.
01:55Get a goddamn job.
01:57What a fucking loser you are.
01:58What?
01:59And he stabs the poor guy over and over till he's done.
02:03The bum's dog whimpers,
02:04but he stomps the mutt till it's lights out.
02:07He crosses paths with some chick,
02:09just tossing quick hellos.
02:10They stroll side by side for a bit,
02:12not a word between them.
02:15At the laundry, he's going toe to toe
02:17with an old dame who's jabbering in some other tongue.
02:19He's got sheets with a red stain that looks like blood
02:22and wants them scrubbed spotless.
02:24She's griping, but he ain't hearing it.
02:26Even growling he'll end her if she doesn't get it done right.
02:29Victoria rolls in,
02:30only got eyes for locking down a date with him,
02:32doesn't even give a damn about the stain.
02:34He shoves the sheets at her,
02:35telling her to deal with the laundry folks
02:37so they do their damn job,
02:39then bolts for his meeting.
02:40The guy dials up the chick he's stepping out with,
02:43trashing her fiancé Luis,
02:44but she tries to shut that down quick.
02:46He's pushing for a dinner date,
02:48but she ain't biting right
02:49until he name drops dorses and her ears perk up.
02:52While some raunchy flick blares in the background,
02:55he's grinning,
02:56punching the restaurant's number for a table,
02:57knowing it's late as hell.
02:58I know it's a little late,
02:59but is it possible to reserve a table
03:01for two at eight or eight-thirty perhaps?
03:06They roll out and she's looking zoned out,
03:09maybe high, who knows?
03:11She starts yapping about popping out kids,
03:13but he's too busy squinting at a car,
03:15swearing it's Donald Trump's ride.
03:17At the joint,
03:18he has to hoist her head off the table
03:20just to order grub.
03:21She's so out of it.
03:23She doesn't even clock they aren't at Dorsha,
03:25but he's smooth-talking her into thinking it is.
03:27But dinner's a straight-up mess
03:29as she passes out.
03:30The second,
03:31he starts rattling off the order.
03:33In the conference room,
03:34his work crew's buzzing,
03:35trying to figure how he scored
03:37a Dorsha reservation.
03:38Right then,
03:39Alan,
03:39the cocky,
03:40scatterbrained cat
03:41running the Fisher account,
03:42strolls in,
03:43calling him Marcus
03:44and hitting him with questions
03:45meant for some other dude.
03:46He just rolls with it,
03:48dodging any explanation.
03:49Alan brags about his own Dorsha slot
03:51for Friday night,
03:52leaving the crew scratching their heads
03:53at that flex.
03:54He tosses his card to a colleague,
03:56and Patrick,
03:57feeling the heat,
03:58whips out his own card
03:59to one-up him.
04:00Everybody starts flashing their cards
04:01like it's a pissing contest.
04:03Look at that subtle off-white coloring.
04:04Oh my god,
04:05it even has a watermark.
04:06And it's clear his ain't quite cutting it.
04:09That's got him steaming,
04:10sweat dripping,
04:11and mind spinning with dark thoughts.
04:13At the spa,
04:13the woman's chatting him up all sweet,
04:15but in his head,
04:16he's chewing on a dark truth.
04:18Sure,
04:18he looks human,
04:19but that gut instinct and willpower
04:20is a whole different beast.
04:22He's lost,
04:23can't wrap his mind around it,
04:25only feeling something
04:26when it's greed,
04:27disgust,
04:27or blood pumping him up.
04:29Worse,
04:29those vibes are creeping into his days now,
04:32not just haunting his nights like before.
04:35At the cocktail,
04:35his cocky rival clocks him as Marcus again.
04:38He rolls with it,
04:39playing cool
04:40while his girl's all kinds of confused.
04:42The guy even sets up a meeting with Marcus,
04:44and he nods along,
04:45saying he'll show.
04:46He pulls up a bit late to the meet,
04:48but they get to ordering grub.
04:49The second he spots Ivana Trump,
04:51he slips,
04:52blurting his real name,
04:53then brushes it off
04:54like it's no big deal,
04:55just a mix-up.
04:56He's itching to know
04:57how Alan snagged the Fisher account.
04:59How'd you get it?
04:59Well,
05:00I could tell you that,
05:01Halberstram.
05:01But they don't have to kill you.
05:04Patrick is now spilling his twisted love
05:07for carving up women,
05:08calling himself a head case.
05:09Alan blows it off
05:10and asks about Cecilia.
05:12He spins a yarn,
05:13saying she's chowing down with Evelyn,
05:15and the drunk fool
05:16starts raving about her curves,
05:17only to sling a jab
05:18at the guy across the table,
05:20calling him a loser,
05:21without even knowing it's him.
05:23He's got the dude sloshed on wine,
05:25so he lures him back to his place,
05:27all decked out with covered furniture and floors.
05:30They're having a deep chat about music,
05:32but he's suiting up,
05:33putting a raincoat on
05:34and an axe in hand.
05:35Is that a raincoat?
05:37Yes, it is!
05:38With tunes blasting loud,
05:40can we release this?
05:41Hip to be square!
05:42he swings the axe on the helpless sap,
05:44taunting him about that Dorsier reservation.
05:46Hey, Paul!
05:48Ah!
05:49He hacks away,
05:50yelling his lungs out,
05:51and when he's satisfied,
05:52he peels off the raincoat,
05:54kicks back with legs crossed,
05:55and lights a cigar
05:56because it's a job done right.
05:58He hauls the body,
06:00stuffed in a fancy overnight bag,
06:01through the lobby,
06:02blood leaking everywhere.
06:03Louis spots him cramming it into the taxi's trunk,
06:06but only has eyes for the designer bag,
06:08not the mess.
06:09The executioner slips into Alan's pad
06:11after snagging the keys and his jaw drops.
06:14This place is swanky,
06:16way sharper than his own crib.
06:18He grabs a box quick,
06:19stuffs it with some of the guy's clothes,
06:21then mimics his voice
06:22to drop a message for someone
06:24saying he's skipped town,
06:25just wants folks thinking Alan's off on a trip.
06:28Hasta la vista, baby.
06:30At the office,
06:31the secretary rolls in saying
06:33Detective Donald's itching for a sit-down,
06:36but he shuts it down.
06:37She pushes back,
06:38thinking it's a dumb move,
06:39so he grumbles and greenlights the meat.
06:41The cop struts in,
06:43lays out who he is,
06:44and gets to business.
06:45Alan's gone missing,
06:46and he's on the case to dig up answers,
06:48just needs to toss a few questions at the colleague.
06:50He plays it cool,
06:51saying he hasn't heard about Alan vanishing,
06:53and wonders why it's not all over the news.
06:55Cop says the family's keeping it hush-hush,
06:58their call.
06:59He starts answering,
07:00then,
07:00unprompted,
07:01spills his take on Alan's love life,
07:03tossing in thoughts about the guy being gay,
07:05wanting to make sure he isn't getting grilled.
07:07He gets an assurance from the cop
07:09that it's all good.
07:10Then he flips the script,
07:12firing off questions,
07:13asking if there were any fingerprints at Alan's place,
07:15and if the case has been called a homicide yet.
07:18The cop bites,
07:19spilling how far their investigation's gone.
07:21The stone-cold executioner nods along,
07:23agreeing,
07:24it's a shame folks just vanish.
07:26But his creepy vibe sets the cop on edge.
07:28After a tense stare down,
07:29he cuts in,
07:30saying he's gonna be late for a meeting.
07:32He walks the cop to the door,
07:34promises to help out more if needed,
07:36then shows him out.
07:37In his pad,
07:38the psycho's pumping iron,
07:39grunting while a woman's piercing screams
07:41wail from the TV.
07:43He cruises to a shady corner,
07:44and scoops up a hooker who's all about the cash,
07:47slipping into a smooth act.
07:49He calls himself Paul Allen,
07:51then dials his contact to line up a blonde girl
07:53ready for a wild night with a couple.
07:55Then he turns to the hooker,
07:57laying down the law like it's a game,
07:59telling her to only answer to Christy.
08:00The hooker's soaking in the tub while he eyes her,
08:03tossing compliments on her figure and barking orders.
08:06The new girl shows up,
08:07and he's back to his Paul Allen bit,
08:09dubbing her Sabrina.
08:10The first one joins,
08:11and even though they couldn't care less,
08:13he brags about slinging deals on Wall Street
08:15for Pierce and Pierce.
08:16They fish for how much his place costs,
08:18but he shuts it down,
08:20cranks up loud tunes,
08:21and struts into the room,
08:22yammering about the sound,
08:23the singer,
08:24and music in general.
08:25He ducks into the next room,
08:27still running his mouth about tunes,
08:29with the women trailing.
08:30He keeps jawing about music,
08:32tying it to politics,
08:33while telling them to strip slow,
08:35leaving just their undies.
08:36With Sabrina dancing on cue,
08:38he sets up a camera,
08:39calling out their poses like a director,
08:41even telling one to get real close with the other.
08:44He peels off his gear and hops in bed,
08:45going hard at both women,
08:47switching between them,
08:48making sure they're staring down the camera lens,
08:50while he flexes like a bodybuilder,
08:52slicking his hair back,
08:54striking proud poses,
08:55and eating up his own reflection in the mirror.
08:58Way past midnight,
08:59as they're sprawled on the sheets,
09:00he bolts up,
09:01heading for his tools cupboard,
09:03itching for more.
09:04But the gals are done,
09:05ready to bounce,
09:06so he forks over the cash,
09:07and lets them split.
09:09He's chilling at the lounge with his crew,
09:10tossing around hot takes,
09:12when he drops a line from some repeat creep,
09:14about staring at a lady's severed head.
09:16He cracks a laugh,
09:17but the table goes quiet,
09:18everybody staring like he's lost it.
09:20The vibe shifts quick,
09:21when Luis rolls in,
09:23flashing his new business card like a big shot,
09:25pulling nods and chatter from the crew.
09:27Everyone except the weirdo,
09:29who's quietly fuming.
09:31As the dude bails,
09:32the guy, Patrick,
09:33gets sour with the rest of the crew,
09:35storming through their chatter,
09:36and heading straight for the restroom.
09:38He slips on leather gloves,
09:39eyes locked on his target,
09:41and clamps his hands on the fella's shoulders.
09:43But when the dude,
09:44Luis,
09:45clocks it's him,
09:46he plants a kiss on his hand,
09:47muttering why it took so long to show some heart.
09:50The cold-blooded guy's thrown off,
09:52yet he plays along for a beat,
09:53as Luis gets all touchy,
09:55spilling his true feelings with a soft caress.
09:57Visibly rattled,
09:58the assailant scrubs his hands raw under the faucet,
10:01dodging any more contact with the dude,
10:03then bolts out,
10:04knocking over trays,
10:05and shoving folks aside like they're nothing.
10:07Still,
10:07the love-struck fella trails after him,
10:10waving a hand to signal he should ring him later.
10:13The guy rolls into work,
10:14and spots the detective camped out at the secretary's desk.
10:17Once settled in his office,
10:19the cop starts pressing him to spill where he was the night Alan vanished.
10:23He flips open his diary,
10:25and claims he was chilling with Veronica,
10:26but the detective's got different intel.
10:29Switching tracks,
10:30the cop asks when he last hung out with the deceased,
10:32so he starts laying it out,
10:34but then he stumbles over his words for a split second,
10:37brushing it off as a hectic day catching up with him.
10:40The policeman tosses out the idea of grabbing dinner to keep the talk going,
10:44and he nods along,
10:45agreeing to play ball.
10:46But before the cop heads out,
10:47he flashes a CD plate,
10:49same kind the guy dangled in front of Alan before swinging the axe,
10:52and it rattles him deep,
10:54though he locks down his cool.
10:55After a wild romp in the sheets,
10:57the guy starts gearing up to bounce,
10:59but Courtney cuts in,
11:00hoping he'll ring her before Easter.
11:02But there's a possibility they won't see each other before then,
11:05so she wishes him a happy Easter anyway,
11:07and then he slips out.
11:08Later,
11:09the silent predator and his buddy roll into a club,
11:12where they first duck into a dim back room and sniff some f***
11:15before strutting to the VIP section.
11:17As they settle in,
11:18a woman asks what he does for a living,
11:20and he says he practically ends folks' lives,
11:23but she misunderstands,
11:25thinking he's talking about mergers and acquisitions.
11:28Back at the office,
11:29the guy invites the secretary to dinner,
11:31tossing out the chance for her to pick any spot she wants.
11:34She names Dorja,
11:35so he grabs the phone and dials up to snag a reservation.
11:38The place is slammed for the night,
11:40but he puts on a show right in front of her,
11:42acting like he's locked in a table.
11:43We're totally booked.
11:45Really?
11:46That's great.
11:47No, I said we are totally booked.
11:49Two at nine?
11:49Perfect.
11:51She's skeptical,
11:51raising a brow since he didn't even drop his name,
11:54but he flashes a slick grin,
11:56pulling the they know me card,
11:57then tells her to swing by his place at seven before letting her leave.
12:01Come 7 p.m.,
12:02Gene shows up at his house,
12:04decked out in a stunning getup.
12:05He reaches into the fridge,
12:07where a severed head's chilling,
12:08and pulls out some drinks for his guest,
12:10who can't stop gushing about how sharp he looks.
12:13While he probes her about her life,
12:15she spills her big plans for the future,
12:17but meanwhile,
12:18the guy,
12:18always cooking up something dark,
12:20runs his fingers over a stash of knives,
12:23each one gleaming with bad intent.
12:25While chatting with Gene,
12:26the guy cracks a dark joke about another repeat creep,
12:30chuckling to himself,
12:30but when she doesn't catch the punchline,
12:32he brushes it off and shifts gears,
12:34mumbling vague stuff about his relationship status.
12:37He's still pulling weird moves,
12:38his vibe off kilter,
12:40and then he snaps when she nearly fumbles the spoon onto the table.
12:43Quick as a flash,
12:44he slides behind her,
12:46pointing a slick object at her head,
12:48finger itching to pull the trigger,
12:49all while she's clueless.
12:51Just then,
12:52his phone buzzes,
12:53and the machine picks up,
12:54letting the caller's voice fill the room.
12:56The caller's checking in,
12:57hoping he hasn't brought a gal home,
12:59and Gene's convinced it's his lover,
13:00but he stays tight-lipped,
13:02urging her to split before things go south.
13:04He doesn't shy away from saying she'll get hurt,
13:07yet she takes it wrong,
13:08reading some other meaning into his warning.
13:09Though,
13:10she takes his advice and bails,
13:12as he mutters about losing control.
13:14Later,
13:14he shows up for the detective's dinner invite,
13:16but the cop's still on his case,
13:18pressing hard about where he was when Alan vanished.
13:21He plays dumb,
13:22acting like he's mixing updates,
13:24dodging anything solid.
13:26So,
13:26the cop switches to talking about the late guy's supposed meetup with Marcus,
13:30who's already denied it,
13:32and Marcus's alibi checks out clean.
13:34The slick guy nudges the cop to spill where Marcus was,
13:37and the cop bites,
13:39letting slip that the suspect was there too,
13:41which eases the jittery fella's nerves for a second.
13:44Detective Donald flashes a grin,
13:46saying he's sure the missing guy just took a breather,
13:49and for a moment Patrick's relieved.
13:51But then the cop adds with a cheeky laugh
13:53that he thinks all the late man's buddies are in the clear.
13:56His limo rolls up to where Christy's posted,
13:58but she's not looking to do business after the last time landed her in the ER.
14:03He swears nothing like that's gonna happen again,
14:05flashes a few bills,
14:06and tells her to hop in.
14:08The working girl climbs inside,
14:10but starts griping,
14:11this time saying she'll need surgery,
14:13and that someone told her to lawyer up.
14:15Patrick scribbles out a check fast,
14:17hoping she won't,
14:18but she snatches it and bolts out of the car.
14:20He waves more cash,
14:21pulling her back in.
14:22At the pad,
14:23he's now calling a new one.
14:24There's Elizabeth,
14:25sipping from wine he's already cut with some white...
14:27She just keeps rambling like a loose, tipsy chick
14:30before dialing a guy,
14:32telling him she's at a certain Paul Allen's place.
14:34The other girl keeps a stone face through the chatter,
14:37while the man nudges her to drink from her glass.
14:40He brings up his fantasy about watching the two women get it on,
14:43but Elizabeth brushes it off,
14:44saying she's not into girls.
14:46She admits,
14:47just hearing about it makes her feel weird,
14:49but before long,
14:50the other one's got her pinned,
14:52kissing her,
14:52while she moans softly,
14:54soaking in every touch.
14:55He keeps rambling about the great Whitney Houston while they're at it,
14:59and Elizabeth can't help cracking up at his bizarre playlist,
15:02but he goes on,
15:03linking music to humanity and empathy.
15:05They move on to get intimate,
15:07but Christy's uneasy,
15:08and as she attempts to run,
15:10she...
15:10P freezes,
15:11when she hears Elizabeth screaming under the duvet.
15:13Patrick lifts his head,
15:14and she spots blood smeared across the sheets in his mouth.
15:17She bolts for the door,
15:19only to come face to face with fresh corpses still dripping red.
15:22She spins back,
15:23but runs right into Patrick's path,
15:25and now he's firing up a chainsaw.
15:27She dashes into another room,
15:29finds more bodies,
15:30and when she bursts back out,
15:31there's yet another one on the floor.
15:33This time,
15:33he's on her,
15:34grabbing her leg and biting into it.
15:36She thrashes,
15:37kicks him in the face,
15:38but that just sets him off,
15:39since he's got a thing about keeping his face pristine.
15:42As Christy bolts,
15:43she's pounding on doors and screaming her lungs out,
15:46but helps nowhere close,
15:47so she scrambles down the stairs in a panic.
15:49Meanwhile,
15:50the guy stalks through the staircase,
15:52timing her frantic descent like a predator.
15:54He lets the machine drop,
15:56and in a split second,
15:57it rips through her,
15:58leaving her lifeless body crumpled on the floor.
16:01The sight pulls wild screams of joy from him,
16:04his twisted thrill echoing through the hall.
16:07Later,
16:07over lunch with Evelyn,
16:08he's sketching out the bloody mess he made with Christy.
16:11He lays it out cold,
16:12saying they've been drifting emotionally for a while,
16:14and his dark urges to kill have sunk too deep,
16:17so he's calling for a breakup,
16:18but Evelyn brushes off the homicide talk like it's nothing,
16:22zeroing in on the breakup instead,
16:24apologizing for bringing up wedding plans.
16:26The guy stays rock solid,
16:28doubling down on wanting out.
16:30He doesn't give a rip if their social circle's tight-knit,
16:33saying he's fine cutting ties completely.
16:36Evelyn breaks down,
16:37sobbing loud enough to turn heads,
16:39and every move he makes to quiet her falls flat.
16:42Fed up,
16:42he spits out that she's never meant a thing to him,
16:45then bails,
16:45needing to return some videotapes.
16:47Under the cover of night,
16:48the guy prowls through the streets,
16:50heading for an ATM.
16:51As he spots a kitten nearby and tries to pull some cash,
16:54the machine's screen flashes a twisted message,
16:57demanding he feeds the animal to it.
16:59Without a second thought,
17:00he snags the kitten and aims a gun at it.
17:03But then,
17:03an old lady stumbles upon him,
17:05yelling for him to stop.
17:06In a cold flash,
17:07he pumps a bullet into her chest,
17:09and the shot pulls the cop's attention like a magnet.
17:12Now,
17:12on the run,
17:13he scrambles to find an open car to duck into,
17:15but every vehicle's locked tight,
17:17so he darts across the street.
17:19The police close in,
17:20barking orders to freeze,
17:21yet he fires back at the uniform,
17:23sparking a wild shootout.
17:25He drops one officer with a clean shot,
17:27and his repeated blasts at a car's gas tank
17:29set off a massive explosion,
17:31torching the vehicles,
17:32and wiping out the remaining cops still breathing.
17:34Free from their grip,
17:35he bolts from the chaos as fast as his legs can carry him.
17:39Racing to a building,
17:40he's met by the front desk officer,
17:42flashing a warm smile,
17:43but the guy,
17:44now completely unhinged,
17:46puts a bullet through the officer's head.
17:48He charges toward another exit,
17:49but when he clocks a housekeeper in the distance,
17:52he doubles back inside,
17:53takes him down with a quick shot,
17:55and then slips out the building for good.
17:57The guy slips into another building,
17:59scrawls his name to sign in,
18:01and as the elevator doors close,
18:02he lets out a choked cry.
18:04When a helicopter's searchlight sweeps over the building,
18:07he figures it's time to dial his lawyer,
18:09spilling his guts about being a bad boy,
18:12wiping out countless lives,
18:14including his ex-girlfriend and a slew of random folks.
18:17Tears streaming down his face,
18:18he owns up to Paul Allen's death,
18:21admitting he's lost track of how many he's killed.
18:23He goes on,
18:24confessing he ate some of their brains,
18:25and even drops where Allen's body is stashed.
18:28Shaken,
18:28he mutters that this night's rampage was next level
18:31and swears it's curtains for him.
18:32He pitches a meetup for the next day,
18:34then cuts the call,
18:35which was just dumping into voicemail anyway.
18:37Come morning,
18:38he slaps on a nose mask
18:39and heads to an apartment tied to Paul Allen.
18:42Spotting some folks there,
18:43he strides right to a closet,
18:45only to find it,
18:46and the whole place packed up,
18:47getting a full makeover.
18:48A woman steps up,
18:50asking who he is,
18:51but he spins a quick lie.
18:52She smells the bull,
18:54clocks his off-kilter vibe,
18:55and tells him to beat it and never come back,
18:58so he bolts without a fight.
18:59Rattled and confused,
19:01he dials Gene to say he's skipping the office,
19:03but even as she picks up on his shaky tone
19:06and starts asking questions,
19:07the unhinged guy snaps,
19:09screaming into the phone before hanging up
19:11and storming off in a haze of frustration.
19:14While the secretary's poking around in Patrick's office,
19:17uncovering nasty stuff,
19:18sketches of mutilated women
19:20and weapons scrawled in the guy's diary,
19:22the assailant pulls himself together
19:24and heads to the usual haunt to meet his crew.
19:27Spotting the lawyer across the room,
19:29he weaves through the crowd to confront him,
19:31but the legal hotshot mistakes him
19:33for some guy named Davies.
19:34The guy sets it straight,
19:36saying he's Patrick,
19:37the one who left that chilling voicemail.
19:38Yet the lawyer laughs it off as a prank,
19:41even nitpicking a flaw in the so-called joke.
19:43He tries to brush past,
19:45but Patrick grabs his arm,
19:46doubling down on the truth,
19:47swearing he's been dropping bodies left and right.
19:50Still, the lawyer's not buying it,
19:52sticking to his stance that it's all a gag.
19:55When Patrick names his biggest kill Paul Allen,
19:57the lawyer shuts him down,
19:58saying he dined with Allen twice in the last 10 days,
20:02calling the whole story bunk before strutting off.
20:04Back at the table with his pals,
20:06the guy's a different beast,
20:08shedding his fear and danger like an old skin
20:10and slipping into a wild, joyous vibe.
20:13He's dodged the heat for all his crimes.
20:15And now, after that brush off,
20:17he feels untouchable above any payback.
20:20Emboldened, he's dead set on making others feel his pain,
20:23ready to go full tilt to make it happen.
20:25All because spilling his dark secrets
20:27didn't shift a thing for him,
20:29good or bad.
20:30He's dead.
