00:06Hey, Jillian here, it's been 10 years since the corkscrew killer went on his rampage.
00:10Speaking of rampages, what's your name and are you rampaging for corkscrewing?
00:15Yo, what up?
00:17My name is Nixon.
00:18And I'm KC Beaker, and we're hosting our annual corkscrew pullout tomorrow night, and
00:22it's going to be even bigger than last year.
00:2420 bucks at the door.
00:25We got DJs all night, it's going to be wild.
00:27Your parties always are.
00:29Now, if you had a serial killer nickname, what would it be?
00:32I don't know.
00:33I'm going to take a killer leap, though.
00:34Hey, I'll meet up with you.
00:40So, I've actually thought about this a lot, and if I was a killer, my name would be Hammerface.
00:46Because I'd have like a hammer on my head, and I'd like head bump you.
01:01Nice try, Nixon.
01:04Why'd you leave, bro?
01:05Jillian would talk to you all night.
01:08I see how she looks at you.
01:15Okay, you're getting a little close, bro.
01:26Hey.
01:28You're up early?
01:29Oh.
01:30I have very important work to do.
01:32How's Captain Kilt, or whatever his name is?
01:35You mean Sir Torvald the Untamed?
01:38Sure.
01:39I'll have you know that he is a brave Scottish warrior with a secret heart of gold and very
01:43limited access to shirts.
01:45Should I be jealous?
01:46Only if you can't ride a horse bareback while wielding an axe and nothing but a kilt.
01:50Don't judge.
01:51He also writes really beautiful poetry.
01:53Oh, well then.
01:55I wonder how you'd look in a kilt.
01:56Well, you'll just have to keep wondering.
02:01Mark?
02:01What the hell's on your head?
02:02A tiny box arrived this morning.
02:04It's a present from Ricky.
02:05Care to explain?
02:06Yeah, Ricky's on a mission to find a hat that Mark will tolerate for more than four seconds.
02:10I'm shocked he hasn't ripped it to shreds, honestly.
02:12I think he likes it.
02:13Hey, buddy?
02:15I guess if people can change, so can cats.
02:17Now back to you in a kilt.
02:19Right.
02:25Damn it.
02:26Hold that thought.
02:28It's work.
02:28I gotta go.
02:30So do I.
02:32I guess Sir Torvald will be fighting his shirtless duel without me.
02:38Bye, Mark.
02:40I never thought my usual nighttime jock would turn into a nightmare.
02:43The Corkscrew Killer had already claimed four victims in Primrose that week,
02:46and I was about to be his fifth.
02:49Spooky.
02:50I thought you don't like listening to true crime.
02:52I don't.
02:53This is from years ago, but since we've been called up to Primrose,
02:56I figured it might shed some light on what made the town so famous.
02:58Welcome to Primrose,
02:59the quaintest place to get stabbed by a corkscrew.
03:02This week's the ten-year anniversary of the corkscrew killing,
03:05so there's a festival going on in town to commemorate it.
03:07Ooh, is there a parade?
03:08What about a float?
03:09I don't know about a parade,
03:10but it's sort of the town's way of reclaiming the story.
03:13I think it's why the lone survivor of the killing started the podcast in the first place.
03:16If I get attacked by a crazy killer,
03:18I would do more than to start a podcast.
03:19I'm talking book series, big-budget movie with collectible merchandise.
03:24I'm going on a theme park while you're at it.
03:25Ooh, now you're talking.
03:28Speaking of talking,
03:30um, about dinner the other night.
03:33Hey, don't worry about it.
03:36I know, it's just a little awkward to talk about the fact that my dead mother is alive again.
03:41I get it.
03:41And honestly, I'm just happy she is alive.
03:45Oh, hey, I, uh, looked into this Gideon Varga guy.
03:49You did?
03:50Yeah, you weren't kidding about him.
03:52Crimes from all over the world have been attributed to him.
03:54Murder, extortion, kidnapping, you name it.
03:57It's like he's a ghost.
03:58Nobody knows what he looks like.
03:59Well, thankfully, he's dead,
04:00so we don't need to worry about him anymore.
04:04You didn't tell anybody about him, right?
04:06Of course not.
04:07I wouldn't tell a soul about any of this.
04:08Promise.
04:10Thanks.
04:10Look, she's your mom.
04:12Thanks.
04:12It's your story to tell.
04:15Can I get, uh, you lock up?
04:17I got you.
04:18Wow.
04:19It really did throw a festival.
04:21Yeah, you know college kids.
04:22Any excuse for a keg party, right?
04:24Yeah.
04:27Thanks so much for coming down.
04:29Deputy Wade McMiller.
04:30Call me Wade.
04:31Detective Ellis, this is Special Consultant Max Mitchell.
04:34Lead the way.
04:34Follow me.
04:36The body was found earlier this morning.
04:38The victim's name is Casey Beaker.
04:39He's a student here at Primrose College.
04:42No one's touched anything on the scene.
04:44I wanted you to see it first.
04:47Okay.
04:50Stabbing?
04:51Yeah.
04:51I haven't found a murder weapon.
04:52If I had to take a guess,
04:54I'd say it was a corkscrew.
04:55I'm sensing a theme here.
04:57Hey, look what's in his mouth.
04:58It's a cork.
04:59It's the corkscrew killer's calling card.
05:01We heard about it on the podcast.
05:03So the killer is back?
05:04No.
05:05No.
05:05He died ten years ago.
05:07Oh, yeah?
05:09Then who wrote this?
05:17Here.
05:18And I want the body taken downtown to forensics as well.
05:20Okay?
05:22Wade!
05:23I told you not to call them.
05:25Respectfully, Mayor,
05:26we do not have the same resources they do downtown.
05:28And I need the extra hands,
05:29especially since this is the second corkscrew killing this week.
05:33This is your second homicide this week?
05:35We're going to bury the lead, Wade.
05:37It happened four days ago,
05:38and I was dealing with it myself
05:39because the mayor wanted to keep it quiet.
05:41Wants to keep it quiet.
05:43Clarissa Vaughn, Primrose Mayor.
05:45No offense,
05:45but if folks see cops poking around everywhere,
05:47they might get spooked and spend their dollars elsewhere.
05:49Shut it all down!
05:53Sharon Bailey, local headache.
05:55She manages the motel at the edge of town.
05:57Clarissa,
05:57I have been telling you for years,
05:59this has all gone too far.
06:01Sharon,
06:01Primrose is like Salem,
06:03or Amityville.
06:04We've turned something dark into a positive.
06:06Positive?
06:07We've got a copycat killer on the loose.
06:10I hate to say it, Mayor,
06:11but Sharon's got a point.
06:12The first time this happened,
06:14Primrose PD tried to keep it quiet,
06:15and look how that turned out.
06:17Nothing gets shut down.
06:18These festivities are a second life for the local economy,
06:21and we are not going to jeopardize that.
06:22Isn't that what the mayor in Jaws said?
06:25Look, I agree with Wade.
06:26Public safety's got to be the top priority here.
06:28Of course it is.
06:29The safety of our citizens is my first priority,
06:31but if no one makes a living,
06:33there is no town.
06:34All I ask is that you keep a low profile.
06:36Sharon,
06:37let's walk it off.
06:39Two homicides in a week,
06:40and a copycat killer on the loose?
06:42Wade,
06:43I think it's time you tell us what you know.
06:46This is the first victim,
06:48Amy Myers.
06:49Four days ago,
06:49she was found outside the football field parking lot after a game,
06:52stabbed with a corkscrew,
06:53cork in her mouth.
06:54Just like Casey Beaker.
06:55Exactly like the original corkscrew killer murders.
06:58I mean,
06:58I have all the old case files here.
07:00I was barely 20 at the time.
07:01I remember like it was yesterday.
07:03And there he is,
07:05a corkscrew killer,
07:07a bunker.
07:08All right,
07:09campus bartender.
07:10The killings were about revenge for him.
07:12Yep.
07:12And Bunker was a character,
07:13you know,
07:14easy to make fun of,
07:15I guess.
07:15After a while,
07:16couldn't take it anymore,
07:17and he just
07:18snapped.
07:20Started killing the ones who were most cruel to him.
07:22See?
07:22That's why he always got a tip.
07:24There was four victims.
07:26There was almost a fifth,
07:28Phineas Taylor,
07:28but he survived.
07:29Right.
07:30He's the one who started the podcast.
07:31Well,
07:32the cute nerdy ones in the movies always die first.
07:35Oh,
07:35he got lucky.
07:36If I remember correctly,
07:37he was only stabbed in the shoulder,
07:38right?
07:38Phineas was kidnapped by Bunker,
07:39jogging past the old Bailey factory.
07:41Managed to fight him off.
07:42Some oil spilled during the fight,
07:44and the whole building went up in flames.
07:45The killer was burned to a crisp.
07:48Nothing left but his gold teeth,
07:50a corkscrew,
07:51his mask,
07:52and evidence of the other murders
07:53were found in his apartment later.
07:55The corkscrew killer returns.
07:57This is a copycat killer.
07:58We don't want any more bodies showing up.
07:59We'll need to talk to whoever knew
08:00the two recent victims.
08:01Let's get to work.
08:06Our annual corkscrew party
08:07is supposed to be tonight,
08:08but without Casey,
08:10I shut it all down.
08:11Can you walk me through
08:12what you remember from last night?
08:13Any little detail could help.
08:16Casey and me were partying,
08:17and then Casey had to go take a leak,
08:19and that was it.
08:21When he didn't come back,
08:22I just assumed he went to another party.
08:23He's got a lot of friends.
08:25You didn't think to go looking for him?
08:26Uh, I should have.
08:28Maybe then he'd still be alive.
08:30Maybe if I went,
08:31I'd be dead too.
08:32Amy's my roommate.
08:33Was my roommate.
08:34Can't believe this happened.
08:36Does anything stick out
08:37about the last time you saw her?
08:38She was selling merch at the game.
08:40I was helping her.
08:41It was a regular night.
08:42We lost.
08:43I wanted to go home and take a shower,
08:44and Amy said she was right behind me.
08:46What kind of merch was she selling?
08:48We have corkscrew killer tees
08:49in three different sizes,
08:50and corkscrew killer hats,
08:55beer cozies,
08:56and corkscrews.
09:00It all just seems so wrong now.
09:02How much for that?
09:03You never know when wine o'clock's gonna hit.
09:05You can have it.
09:06Thanks.
09:08Definitely check out Burger Bonanza.
09:10They have a killer murder-themed menu
09:11all weekend long,
09:12bottomless corkscrew fries,
09:13and don't forget to subscribe
09:15if you want to stay up
09:15on all things happening around campus.
09:22So the corkscrew killer is back.
09:23What do you need to know?
09:24So much for keeping it quiet.
09:26It's impossible to keep CK News quiet around here.
09:28CK?
09:29The corkscrew killer.
09:30Oh, right.
09:31Anyways, um...
09:32I know you have questions for me.
09:33I never met Amy Meyer's RRL,
09:34but she seemed really sweet and photogenic,
09:35and I own three of her shirts.
09:37What about...
09:37Casey Beaker.
09:38I knew Casey, but not super well.
09:39He dated a second-tier friend for a few months,
09:41but he's kind of the party king of corkscrew week.
09:43His friend Nixon told me...
09:44About last night.
09:45How crazy is that?
09:46I interviewed Casey and Nyx.
09:47Nyx has been crushing on me forever.
09:49That was minutes before Casey was killed.
09:51Speaking of which, can I get the...
09:52The footage?
09:53I got it all ready for you.
09:54I'll airdrop it.
09:55I gotta run, though.
09:56There's a ketchup drinking contest happening in the quad,
09:57and Bart video's getting huge numbers.
10:00Got it.
10:01Thanks.
10:03Stay far in the background to see anything.
10:05But then the fact that the killer is maybe in a mask,
10:08so that narrows it down to a hundred possible killers.
10:11So it could be anyone at this point.
10:13Okay, we need to go over the rules for surviving a serial killer,
10:16because in the movies,
10:16the prettiest one always dies first,
10:18and that is not going to be me.
10:19It's not a movie, Max.
10:21Oh, Alice, you innocent lamb.
10:23A cop always dies, too.
10:25Rule number one, we need to stick together.
10:27Never go anywhere alone.
10:29Speaking of, we should location share right now.
10:32How do you know my passcode?
10:34Oh, you're cute.
10:36Right?
10:37Rule number two, always check the back seat.
10:40Okay, we're good.
10:42And lastly, never go into any basements, cellars, or attics.
10:45Anywhere dark and confined is strictly off limits.
10:47Got it.
10:48Oh, and never answer the phone from an unknown number.
10:52Don't.
10:54This is Detective Ellis.
10:55It's Deputy Wade, I've got some info for you.
10:57Hey, Wade, I...
10:58How do we know it's Deputy Wade?
11:00Because it is Deputy Wade.
11:01What's the matter with you?
11:03Sorry, Wade, just went through a tunnel.
11:05What's going on?
11:06Do you remember the surviving victim we talked about,
11:08Phineas Taylor, the podcaster?
11:10There's been a development.
11:11You need to get to his house, quick.
11:13Okay, we're on our way.
11:25Oh, hi.
11:26Hi.
11:27Hi.
11:27What are you doing here?
11:28You didn't know she was going to be here?
11:29Did you know that we were going to be here?
11:30Do you live here?
11:31I have so many questions.
11:33No, I just knew there was a detective coming.
11:35But you live here.
11:36No, I don't live here.
11:37But why...
11:38Jess, what are you doing here?
11:40I got a tip about the homicides this morning,
11:41and I wanted to come interview Phineas.
11:43I did a story on him a few years ago.
11:44Well, isn't this cozy?
11:45Deputy Wade just called us down here.
11:47What's going on?
11:47The story just got bigger.
11:49Come in.
11:55Is the door locked?
11:56It's locked.
11:58I'm Detective Ellis.
11:58This is Max.
11:59Deputy Wade told us something happened here today.
12:01It's okay, Phineas.
12:02You can trust him.
12:03That.
12:04I found it on my front step this morning.
12:06What's in the box?
12:10Sorry.
12:10Um, what's in the box, though?
12:13Let's, uh, take a look, shall we?
12:19There's a note.
12:20Hmm.
12:22Time to finish the story.
12:23Love, a long-term fan.
12:40Have you seen anyone hanging around your house lately?
12:43No, um, nothing out of the ordinary.
12:45I always get prank calls this time of year because of the anniversary, but this isn't a prank.
12:48What makes you so sure?
12:49Because that's the same corkscrew that almost killed me ten years ago.
12:52That's impossible.
12:54I mean, the original corkscrew would be in an evidence box and some long-term storage.
12:58No, no.
12:58Look, they have the same scratches on the handle.
13:00Okay, I'll tell you what.
13:01We'll have it sent downtown to forensics, and hopefully they can tell us where it came from.
13:04It came from whoever's doing the killings.
13:07They're telling me I'm next.
13:08Why?
13:09Because I'm the one who got away.
13:11Are you still actively podcasting about this killer?
13:14No, no.
13:15After Behind the Mask, I moved on to other serial killer stories.
13:18He's one of the top true crime podcasters.
13:20Okay, well, look, whoever did this knows where you live now, so it's not safe for you to be here.
13:23Okay?
13:24Not until we know more.
13:25No.
13:26No, I'm sorry.
13:26I can't.
13:28Are you forgetting the fact that there's a serial killer on the loose?
13:31You'll never forget that someone did this to you.
13:33So what's the problem?
13:37I'm agoraphobic.
13:38I haven't stepped outside in years.
13:47I had no idea he was agoraphobic.
13:49He's never talked about it before.
13:51So what do we do?
13:52We can't just leave him here.
13:53I can remove him by force if necessary.
13:55No, he's already traumatized enough.
13:57We're trying to catch a killer here, and I need to take this to evidence.
13:59Okay.
13:59I'll stay here and try and convince him to leave.
14:02But he's a target.
14:04I'll get Deputy Wade to come down here and keep watch, okay?
14:06But then after that, I need to go to this long-term evidence log-up.
14:08Oh.
14:09That's where I was headed to.
14:10That's perfect.
14:11You two remember the rules?
14:13Stick together.
14:14The rules?
14:15She's seen too many horror films.
14:16You've seen the right amount of horror films.
14:18Well, I'm down to carpool if you are.
14:22First time working together?
14:24I'm a journalist.
14:25We're not working together.
14:25We're not exactly working together.
14:27Okay, whatever you want to call it.
14:28Just don't get murdered, okay?
14:30All right.
14:37I know history repeats itself, but for some reason, I thought that my history would be
14:42an exception to the rule.
14:43I can't believe this is happening again.
14:47Sorry.
14:48It helps me process.
14:50No, it's all good.
14:52But that recorder thing is portable, right?
14:55You can process from someplace else.
14:57I appreciate what you're trying to do, really, but I haven't made it past the front door
15:01in years.
15:03It's not something I talk about.
15:05We all have things from the past we'd rather not talk about.
15:09Although, it looks like you talk about a lot of worse things.
15:13It's been a kind of therapy.
15:15Just trying to understand how a person could do such things.
15:18So why do you think?
15:21All serial killers have one thing in common.
15:23They love weaving a good story.
15:26They see themselves as the main character.
15:29Killing gives them a sense of control over the narrative.
15:31So why did they send you the corkscrew?
15:33My guess is a power play.
15:35I got away, so now they're making me part of their story.
15:38What about your story?
15:39If McKillor Crazy Pants is a main character, then so are you.
15:44It's not that simple.
15:45I mean, it kind of is.
15:47Look around.
15:48You literally narrate your whole life.
15:51I mean, the way I see it, you can either sit around and be corkscrewed,
15:55or you can take control and write your own story.
15:59The question is, what does Phineas want to do next?
16:09Okay, either that's a really long Yelp review,
16:12or you started writing your story already.
16:13Mind your business, Sergeant Snoopy.
16:16You know, you never did mention where your tip came from this morning.
16:19Well, you didn't mention your case either.
16:21I'm serious, Jess.
16:23This isn't some ride-along, okay?
16:24If you're sitting on information that could compromise this investigation,
16:27you need to know it.
16:28Okay.
16:29What is this really about?
16:31Look, I just think that we have competing priorities.
16:39I will always be real with you about the personal stuff.
16:42But professionally, that stays separate.
16:44For example, if I have a source, I am going to protect them.
16:47That is not negotiable.
16:50Okay.
16:52Understood.
16:55There's going to be things that I can't tell you either.
16:58Okay.
17:04I know that you've been burned before,
17:06and I would never do that to you.
17:08At work or at home.
17:10I hope that you know that.
17:14That's all I needed to hear.
17:18Besides, if I really wanted to get something out of you,
17:20I think it would be very easy.
17:21Oh, really?
17:22Really.
17:22How would you do that, exactly?
17:25Hey.
17:36Rise forward, detective.
17:37Yeah.
17:39Yeah, got it.
17:44It's just one foot in front of the other.
17:47Yeah, I don't know about this.
17:49Deputy Wei's car is right outside.
17:53No.
17:54No.
17:56Okay.
17:58Talk it out.
18:00What do you want?
18:04Um.
18:06What do I want?
18:08I want to not be afraid anymore.
18:12I want to feel in control of my life again.
18:15I didn't choose how I got here,
18:16but I want to choose what happens next.
18:19Well, looks like you got your next podcast.
18:23And it looks like you're officially part of my story.
18:28Nothing will happen to us if we stay together.
18:32It's one of the rules.
18:34Ready?
18:35Yeah.
18:44You can do this.
18:46Ready?
18:47Yeah, three.
18:49Two.
19:00So the original corkscrew evidence was inventory and sealed three years ago.
19:04The killer's mask, his notebooks, his gold teeth, it's all here.
19:07Here we are.
19:08Box 116.
19:09Can you use this table?
19:11Just leave it when you're done.
19:12I'll put it back.
19:12Okay, thanks.
19:24There's nothing in here but rocks.
19:26What?
19:30The evidence is gone.
19:53The evidence is gone.
19:57Any relation to Deputy Wade McMillor?
19:59Oh, you could say that.
20:00He's Wade's father.
20:05Hey.
20:07You're doing great.
20:09Thanks.
20:10I couldn't do this without you.
20:11No, this is all you, boss.
20:14Whoa, why are you going this way?
20:17I'm so sorry, Phineas.
20:20Highway 47's closed.
20:21I had to take this road.
20:23What's wrong?
20:24This is the Bailey factory road.
20:26Corkscrew killer died.
20:27And where I almost did.
20:29Okay.
20:30Just breathe.
20:32You can do this.
20:38We're driving past the old factory where it all happened.
20:41I haven't seen it in 10 years.
20:43Last time I was here, I was helpless, fighting for my life.
20:47You're doing great.
20:48But I wasn't the only victim.
20:51Wade, I still think about your dad.
20:53He saw the fire and helped drag me out.
20:56He was a good sheriff.
20:57He didn't deserve the hate that he got.
20:59Your dad was sheriff at the time?
21:01Yeah, Pops was never the same after that case.
21:04The whole town blamed him for not catching the killer and tore him apart.
21:09And he started drinking after that.
21:11Too much.
21:12Lost the house.
21:14Lost his job.
21:15But he still couldn't let it go.
21:35So, it's happening again, is it?
21:38You come out here to remind a drunk old sheriff how badly he failed?
21:42No, sir.
21:42Not at all.
21:43We went back to the old original evidence today.
21:46Now, you were the last person to handle that.
21:48Is that right?
21:49Mm-hmm.
21:50Now, you haven't accessed the evidence since then, right?
21:53Why would I?
21:55I have nightmares about it enough.
21:57And now, my son's got to deal with it all over again.
22:03You know, my dad was a cop, too.
22:05Was he proud of you?
22:07He passed before I could make detective.
22:11That's too bad.
22:13Sometimes I think the only reason Wade joined the force was to make me happy.
22:16But my happiest moments are when we'd spend hours out there hunting, camping, talking.
22:23But that was before any of that stuff happened.
22:25And now the nightmares come back.
22:27And if you don't catch him, he's going to keep killing.
22:34Deputy Wade.
22:36I'll have you know I had to cancel paying customers' reservations for these rooms.
22:40I appreciate it, Sharon.
22:44Well, look who decided to finally come down and show his face.
22:49I didn't want any of this to happen.
22:50You have to know that.
22:51Don't!
22:52I don't want to hear it.
22:54Sheesh.
22:55Customer service at this motel is seriously lacking.
22:59All these years later, and Sharon still resents me.
23:01Why?
23:02The factory belonged to Sharon's family.
23:04They lost everything in that fire.
23:06They couldn't afford to rebuild.
23:08Motel manager is a big step down for her.
23:10And when my podcast took off and people started the Corkscrew Killer Festival, it's just more salt in the wound.
23:16So that's why she's such a Grinch.
23:18Are we sure it's safe here?
23:20The room's under a fake name.
23:22Nobody knows you're here.
23:23And I will be parked up front.
23:26All night.
23:27Thanks.
23:29Ready?
23:33You okay?
23:34Yeah, I'll feel better behind a locked door.
23:36Hey, do your, um, serial killer survival rules say anything about motels?
23:41Don't watch any videotapes you might find.
23:42Oh, if the owner's obsessed with taxidermy, get out of there quick.
23:46And don't touch the couch cushions.
23:47That's not a rule.
23:48They're just gross.
23:50Gotcha.
23:51Night.
23:52Okay.
23:56I believe McMillan when he says he sent the evidence away.
23:58You could tell he was tormented by it.
24:00I feel for him, you know?
24:02I know what that's like to carry around all that unresolved trauma.
24:07It'll really pull you under if you let it.
24:09Telling you if I didn't solve Daniel's murder, that could have easily been me.
24:14I don't believe that.
24:17I don't think you ever would have given up.
24:20He didn't know me back then.
24:24I know you now.
24:33Forensics.
24:34It was the original corkscrew.
24:36The blood traces match the old victims and the new ones.
24:39So the copycat killer did send it.
24:41Which means they had to have access to the evidence box.
24:43I don't like what I'm thinking right now.
24:44Look, a hunting shed is a good place for hiding stolen evidence.
24:51Let's go with water.
25:00Grape soda.
25:02Guess that'll do.
25:05Okay.
25:31That's not a good sign.
25:34I don't know.
25:35I don't know.
25:39It doesn't look like anybody's been here lately.
25:44I don't know.
25:45I don't know.
25:48I don't know.
25:53I don't know.
25:56I don't know.
25:57I don't know.
25:57I don't know.
25:57I don't know.
25:57I don't know.
25:58I don't know.
25:59I don't know.
26:00I don't know.
26:03I don't know.
26:04I don't know.
26:10these packages are all addressed to p.o. boxes all over the world
26:14and unless stew has a side hustle working for fedex
26:20it's an official evidence bag
26:24these are the corkscrew killers gold teeth
26:27this is all the original corkscrew evidence
26:29i read about this people make big money off of these crime souvenirs
26:32a lock of charles manson's hair went for a quarter mil on the dark web
26:35okay but jess he's living in a trailer doesn't exactly scream big money
26:45sunflower seeds
26:47deputy wade was always snagging on sunflower seeds
26:50oh he either sold the corkscrew to the killer or
26:58come on max
27:01phineas open up
27:03max
27:04oh thank god
27:05what time is it
27:07lock the door and stay inside
27:09what's going on
27:10and don't open it for anyone except for me or ellis
27:12or the pizza i just ordered because i don't want it to get cold
27:14yeah okay
27:22well that's not good
27:29okay well maybe he's getting a drink
27:33or maybe he's quenching his thirst for his next kill
27:38oh jeez what's the rules for this
27:44yes
27:45i knew this would come in handy
28:00well this really hurts his chances of being the killer
28:03yeah the woman looks a lot like the other two victims
28:07nice try
28:09it's our killer
28:10he's taunting us
28:11hey maybe it's a woman
28:12keep an open mind
28:14give this to franzas
28:15thank you
28:16ugh
28:17my pizza is definitely cold by now
28:20not that i have much of an appetite
28:22we need to tell wade's dad
28:23i should stay with phineas
28:26okay
28:26you get phineas down to the station
28:28and i'll go talk to stew
28:29okay
28:31look i am so sorry stew
28:34what was wade mixed up in
28:36it seems like wade was selling the old corkscrew killer evidence
28:40do you have any idea why he would have done that
28:43my fool of a son
28:45look this is all my fault
28:47yeah what do you mean
28:48i got behind in my trailer payments
28:51and he said he'd take care of it
28:53i i never asked him where he got the money
28:58my son
29:00he's gone
29:01this killer
29:02he's taken the only thing i had left
29:19wade's fingerprints are all over the old avenue
29:21but obviously we know he's not the killer
29:24now if the killer is a true copycat then there's two more victims to come and we can't have that
29:28happen
29:28phineas you said serial killers like stories so what's the story here
29:32in the original killing spree the victims weren't random so there must be a pattern to these murders
29:37wait a minute wade was selling the evidence from the original corkscrew killer and our first victim amy myers was
29:44selling killer themed merch and casey beaker was selling tickets to a corkscrew themed party
29:48the killer threatened him somebody made a podcast about the original corkscrew killer so all the victims are profiting off
29:53the original story
29:55exactly that's why the killer's doing the copycat thing he's mad they're all making money off the story
29:59oh god
30:00so none of this would have happened if it weren't from my podcast
30:03hey
30:04cold
30:06excuse me guys
30:09don't blame yourself
30:10but
30:11when this is all over i would think about rebranding your podcast as something that won't kill you
30:15like antiques
30:16or whales
30:18what are you still doing here thought you went home to get some rest
30:21no chance of that
30:22i learned something that you need to hear
30:24you know how wade's dark web history was impossible to trace
30:27yeah
30:27i got my cyber team on it
30:29well you can call them off
30:30i got in touch with a source who's familiar with dark web transactions of this nature
30:34who
30:35you know i can't tell you that
30:36okay fine
30:37what did your source say
30:39i told them what we were looking for and they'd heard about it
30:41apparently there was a bidding war for the corkscrew
30:43they did more digging for me
30:45they know who won
30:48sharon the grinch bailey
30:50jessica's source traced the corkscrew sale to a p.o. box a few hours away
30:54a bit more digging revealed who the box was registered to
30:57it's in sharon bailey's name
30:58don't worry
30:59we uh double checked it on our end
31:01okay
31:01so she bought the corkscrew
31:03do you think she's a cop cat killer
31:05all the victims profited off the original story
31:07and sharon hated that
31:09she hated all the parties
31:10and she especially hated phineas's podcast
31:13well the motive's definitely there
31:15and as the motel owner
31:17she was nowhere to be found after deputy wade was killed
31:19so it's not exactly a good look
31:22i think it's her
31:23right
31:24i'll call backup to drive over there with you
31:26bring her in before she catches wind of anything
31:29usually journalists don't make it in building this far
31:32but thank you
31:32anytime
31:35let's get you home phineas
31:36post up a uni outside his place until sharon's brought in
31:39yes sir
31:41i feel sick to my stomach
31:43i can't believe it's sharon
31:44she could have killed us last night
31:45i know
31:47but it's over now phineas
31:48we're on our way to arrest her right now

32:07sharon bailey was stuck in the past as much as i had been
32:10if i needed any more proof it was time to move on and rewrite my story
32:14this was it
32:15one thing i have learned is that you can't do anything alone
32:18if it wasn't for detective max
32:20i would still be stuck in my house
32:23she helped me take that first step
32:26aww thanks for calling me detective

33:04this is where my life ended
33:05and i can't be scared of it anymore
33:08yes
33:09100%
33:10but right now

33:13i know
33:14but i have to do this
33:16i was terrified of going outside yesterday

33:24it's the last thing i have to do to be free
33:28okay i'm gonna text ellis and see if sharon's in custody
33:31okay copy that
33:34okay so sharon's not at the motel

33:52phineas
33:55phineas let's stick together please
34:03if this were a horror movie
34:05everyone would be screaming at me to not go in there
34:09and yet
34:11here i am
34:24phineas
34:39phineas
34:40always charge your damn phone
34:42always charge your damn phone
35:22phineas
35:24phineas
35:39phineas
35:46phineas
35:50phineas
35:52phineas
36:07phineas
36:08It was so on the nose. I just, I just had to include you.
36:11Lucky me.
36:13So was it all a lie?
36:16The agoraphobia?
36:17No, no, no. I was agoraphobic.
36:19I spent years too afraid to leave my house.
36:23Pathetic, helpless victim.
36:25But as I did my podcast, I learned everything about serial killers.
36:31How their minds worked.
36:32I began to admire their ability to take control of their lives.
36:37See, they have no fear.
36:40The world fears them.
36:42And I realized that was my answer.
36:44That was how I could stop being the victim instead of the prey.
36:47I became the predator.
36:48But what's with the copycatch shtick?
36:50Sequels are never as good. Why not do something original?
36:53What better way to rewrite my whole story than to flip the entire script?
36:57Bring back the corkscrew killings and this time, I'll be the main character.
37:01Yeah, because everyone loves a main character who's killed a bunch of people.
37:04Am I missing something?
37:05No, don't be thick, detective.
37:06Sharon Bailey is the killer.
37:10Sharon Bailey, the town grump, murders those profiting after family tragedy.
37:17Which means us here to our final chapter.
37:21Sharon Bailey kidnaps the nosy detective at the side of the street and brings her back to her lair.
37:26And I have to conquer my deepest fears to go in after her to...
37:32To save my one true love.
37:34Your one true what?
37:35It was love at first sight.
37:37Solidified by a night of passion.
37:39At the motel, it is the perfect B-story.
37:42Okay, I'm sorry. A night with me is at least a story material.
37:45No, but I valiantly try fighting Sharon off.
37:48She stabs me in the arm, wounding me just enough to finish you off.
37:52When did Sharon stab you?
37:59I'll be the hero who overcame so much in the name of love.
38:04It's the perfect story.
38:05And this time, I get to write it.
38:08Okay, well here's a crazy pitch.
38:10What if nobody else gets stabbed? Wouldn't that be fun?
38:13Sorry. Rewrites are over.
38:15Elise! Drop the weapon!
38:21Jessica!
38:22No!
38:23Max, stay back.
38:25One little slip, that's all it'll take.
38:26I'm gonna say it again.
38:28Let her go.
38:29Don't come and hear me.
38:32You see?
38:33It's over, Phineas.
38:35No, this isn't how much story she loves to end.
38:37You're right.
38:37He doesn't have to end like this.
38:39Just let her go.
38:40Don't tell me what to do.
38:50This is okay.
39:07Stop!
39:07What is it?
39:08Give me your knife.
39:09What? Why?
39:10In horror films, you gotta kill the villain like three times.
39:12We gotta make sure he's dead.
39:13Hand it over.
39:14No, what's the matter with you?
39:16Keep going, guys.
39:18I'd keep a close eye on that thing if I were you.
39:22Well, you were right about the location sharing thing.
39:25I'll give you that.
39:26We wouldn't have found you otherwise.
39:27See?
39:28My rules save lives.
39:30Although I didn't really listen to them.
39:32I ended up in a dark building with the killer.
39:34Well, he had us all fooled.
39:35Look, I'm just happy you're both safe, okay?
39:40Oh, the mayor just got here.
39:42I need a quote from my story.
39:43Hey, thanks for saving my butt.
39:46Anytime.
39:46You would have done the same.
39:49She charged a killer.
39:51Didn't even think twice.
39:52But she's right.
39:53You would have done the same.
39:55And hey, thank you for making this easy.
39:58You know.
40:00You and Jessica.
40:01She's smart.
40:03Hot.
40:03Cool.
40:04Swings a bat like Shohei Otani.
40:06What's not to like?
40:08All right, well, I don't know about you,
40:10but I just got my appetite back.
40:11Maybe like some day-old motel pizza
40:14because I got a lot of it.
40:15I'm good.
40:16I'll buy you a fresh slice.
40:17How about that?
40:17You've earned it.
40:27Here we go.
40:36Oh, my God.
40:38It actually worked.
40:41Ricky, you are a genius.
40:43Yes.
40:43Yes.
40:43Yes.
