00:05Previously on The Hunting Party
00:07It's called The Pit
00:07Home to the most dangerous and violent criminals in history
00:10All of whom the world believes are dead
00:12Or at least it was
00:13Until the blast hit
00:16Shane deserved to know the truth
00:18What are you going to tell him?
00:19Hey, we found your serial killer mom
00:21And she happens to be our boss
00:22I don't know, but I'll find the right words
00:24You were impressive
00:26Thank you, sir
00:27My name's John
00:29By the way
00:29Jonathan Mitchell Peck
00:31I read your file
00:32I've been thinking a lot about that
00:34And I should never have kept that from you or the team
00:36I am done looking for her
00:37You don't want to find your mom?
00:39Welcome
00:39My name is Noah Cyrus
00:59Oh, wait, can you make one of those heart design things?
01:01I want to post it
01:03Maybe a star
01:05No, wait, a flower
01:06Like an orchid
01:07They don't really teach us how to do that
01:10I can make a swirl
01:12That's just so basic
01:14Just try a flower
01:18It's already half swirl
01:19I mean, if you have to make a fresh one
01:21It's totally fine
01:21I will pay for it
01:22Do you mind?
01:24There are other people in line
01:26Oh, shoot
01:27Oh my gosh, I forgot that I have hot yoga in 15
01:30Don't worry though
01:31When I post this
01:31I'm going to totally make your cafe go viral
01:36Sorry for that
01:37What can I get you?
01:38Hi, uh, drip coffee please
01:42Toach Tina here
01:43And it is time to reveal the newest addition to Tina's blessed to impress list
01:48First off, I need you guys to go
01:51No, not go, run
01:52To the cutest new coffee bar I just found
01:55Bernice's Coffee
01:56No, seriously people
01:58It's the best oat milk latte I've had all year
02:02Whoever's feeling blessed
02:03Say flesh
02:05Also, this new raspberry lip gloss
02:08Ugh, it makes my lips just feel so
02:23Hey, did Peck tell you what this was all about?
02:25Uh, no
02:26But when I get a call to come to the command center
02:28It's usually not for breakfast
02:29Right, but when it's an inmate
02:30I always get a heads up
02:33You didn't?
02:35As Agent Hassani will explain
02:37We have a problem
02:40Last night the convoy transporting Noah Cyrus was attacked
02:44Everyone, including Cyrus, was killed
02:48Do we know who did it?
02:50Why would somebody do this?
02:52Could it have been one of Cyrus' followers that we didn't know about?
02:55This is way too complicated for some other 13th hour
02:57Who else knows about the convoy?
02:59Just my people at CIA
03:00Well, clearly you're mistaken
03:03Someone outside of this command knew exactly when and where to ambush a covert prisoner transport
03:09So either a member of your team is talking or one of you is
03:18Colonel
03:18As it stands, the Pentagon has insisted upon a certain balance of powers in the recovery efforts
03:24So that means, Agent Hassani, prisoner transport and relocation remains under your purview
03:30For now
03:33I don't think I need to impress upon you all the seriousness of this operational failure
03:42Sorry to interrupt, Colonel
03:43We just got a hit on another inmate
03:47No more mistakes
03:49I expect perfection
03:51Dismissed
03:57Inmate H89, Lou Kaplan
03:59A.K.A. the Selfie Slayer
04:01Not to brag, but low-key
04:04I created a program to alert me if any inmates logged on to their dormant social media platforms
04:09Wow
04:09Very clever
04:10Thank you
04:11It uses malware software I designed to bypass VPNs
04:14It looks like Lou just logged on to his old SnapMax account
04:19For the first time since 2019 in midtown Manhattan
04:23I guess even pit inmates can't stay off social media
04:25SnapMax, that's the one that's like if Instagram and TikTok had a baby, right?
04:29Well, I don't know, we have a strict no social media policy at my house
04:32That's fun
04:33It says here that Lou was a gifted coder
04:36And one of the original software designers for SnapMax
04:39He had some pretty lofty ideals about social media fostering community and empathy
04:44I'm sensing a turn coming
04:46Well, he wanted his technology to bring people together
04:49Instead, according to him, the app, quote, became a breeding ground for vanity, vitriol
04:54And self-isolating behavior
04:57So I'm guessing the nickname the Selfie Slayer is not a metaphor
05:01Hizamo was interesting
05:02Despite the fact that he carefully selected and then stalked these victims for days
05:06The kills themselves were semi-improvised and always public
05:10This one he threw into oncoming traffic as she was live streaming
05:13And then another he beat to death in Prospect Park using his own tripod
05:17He claimed that his six murders were a message
05:19A way to wake the world up to the dangers of social media
05:21The Post wrote a whole expose on him
05:23Turning him into a social media sensation himself
05:26An ironic poster child for disruption
05:28They even had merch with his face on it outside the courthouse during his trial
05:32Gross
05:33Yeah
05:33If he's already logged back into SnapMax again, he's probably stalking victims
05:38Let's head out
05:44Okay, time to shine
05:47Just remember, be bright, be bold, be Becky
05:59Hello, fellow bakers
06:01It's your friend, Baking with Becky
06:03And today, I've got a big treat for you all
06:05We're making banana nut muffins
06:08Now, I know these look a bit ripe
06:12But don't you worry
06:13That's the secret to yum
06:15But before we start, I want to make sure you hit that subscribe button
06:19To stay in the loop for all my best new recipes
06:21Alright, it's baking time
06:23Now, you're going to want to start with two cups of all-purpose flour
06:31Next, we're going to crack two eggs
06:37Damn it
06:43Thanks, Evan
06:59You guys get the feeling Lazarus knows more about this convoy hit than she's letting off
07:04I mean, her pointing fingers at us is definitely theater
07:08She knows something
07:09So do I
07:12Lazarus' convoy deviated from its planned route last night
07:16Maybe they saw the attack coming
07:18Well, there's no report of contact before the firefight
07:23Okay, so now we have two mysteries
07:25Who attacked the convoy
07:27And how it got deviated in the first place
07:47What comes next?
07:49The eggs
07:51Then why are you looking at me?
07:54Crack the eggs
08:13Bravo
08:16Okay, now Sam
08:27Becky
08:29Say it
08:35Hi, everyone
08:37This is going to be my final post
09:04I want to try to put this in terms that someone as simple as you can understand
09:10I had the biggest tech companies in the entire world engaged in heated bidding wars to bring me to their
09:18teams
09:20Instead, I chose SnapMax, a no-name startup, because I believed in their mission
09:27Also, Linda Cranston personally came to my home and practically begged me on her hands and knees to work for
09:33her
09:34We designed SnapMax as a tool to help our users to connect
09:38But after SnapMax launched, a very unfortunate truth became abundantly clear to me
09:43Most people are basically rats
09:47But it's worse than that because we have the intellectual capacity
09:53But we don't use it
09:57All the likes and the clicks and the comments and the shares
10:01Jonesing for another hit of dopamine
10:04All right, just click, click, click, click, click
10:05Just for dopamine
10:06All right, just a little hit
10:08Tell me, are you on social media?
10:11Yeah, of course you are
10:13This guy seems like a real winner
10:15Yeah
10:16Hey, how can you be so whiny and crazy at the same time?
10:19Oh, it's a skill
10:21Did you guys know his account has 10 million followers on SnapMax?
10:25Huh
10:26The world thinks this guy's been dead for years
10:28Still, he has more followers than the people he's killed
10:30You know, I'm all aboard the social media's destroying society train
10:33But it's not a cause worthy of murder
10:36We rationalized his murders through his message
10:38He warned people of the dangers of social media
10:41He thought it was a just cause
10:43Which is why his therapist in the pit tried to humanize his victims
10:45Just or not, these were people
10:47At Trax, Capsman's file says he was given Whitmore's empathy drug
10:51I've seen a lot of that
10:52It was effective
10:54As long as he maintained his dosage
10:56Oh, I must have worn off
10:57Morales got a ping on a body drop
10:59Four blocks from where he logged in
11:12Why is the DEA so interested in a dead influencer?
11:15Oh, um, Becky Roman is actually an undercover informant
11:19For a sting operation we're running
11:22If you say so, buddy
11:25Any details on cause of death?
11:28Asphyxiation
11:28Death by banana muffin
11:32That's definitely a new one
11:35Well, uh, we're gonna need the place to ourselves there, pal
11:40Thank you
11:47Okay
11:49So Becky was clearly in the middle of making a video when Lou killed her
11:52That speaks to his old M.O.
11:54But
11:56All of his previous kills were quick and improvised
12:00In public
12:02This feels more intentional
12:04Is that because of how he desecrated the body post-mortem?
12:07I mean, he savored the chance to humiliate her
12:10That kind of viciousness speaks to an increased level of emotional engagement
12:14Well, we got Lou's therapy to thank for that
12:18All of the other kills were successful influencers
12:20I mean, Becky's got a decent following, but nothing like the others
12:23So
12:24Why her?
12:30Hey, Morales, what's up?
12:32A new video was just uploaded to Becky's Snap Max
12:35Well, that seems unlikely
12:36I'm sending it to you now
12:37Thanks
12:45Hi, everyone
12:47This is gonna be my final post
12:51And to start, I, uh, I need to apologize
12:56I haven't been honest with you
12:58The truth is
13:03The truth is I hate baking
13:06It's messy and it never turns out right
13:08No matter how close I stick to the recipe
13:11I, I'm not special
13:15I'm just a nobody
13:16And a liar
13:20But I hate everything about what social media has turned me into
13:23This is tough to watch
13:25I am a fraud
13:29And if we're being honest
13:31Yeah, I might as well tell you
13:33Um, I don't even really eat baked goods
13:38I'm gluten-free
13:40Yeah
13:41How messed up is that?
13:44So now
13:45This is the part where normally I'd swap out
13:48The burnt muffins for the pretty store-bought goods
13:53But not today
13:55I guess that's growth
13:59Okay
14:01So then, um
14:03For the last time
14:05We need to take this down
14:06We can't do that
14:07That'll tip off Lou that we're onto him
14:09Just remember
14:11Make every day sweet
14:17You think she knew Lou was gonna post this?
14:20Yeah, I do
14:22I think Lou got Becky to make that final video before he killed her
14:25And he forced her to post it as some kind of warning?
14:28This is what social media can do
14:30No, this was a confession
14:32He wanted Becky to confront how social media had turned her into a dishonest version of herself
14:36How did Lou know she was a fake?
14:38I don't know
14:40But I think he wanted Becky's followers to take it to heart
14:44We need to figure out how he targeted her before he sets his sights on the next victim
14:53So
15:05Should I go to bizi
15:05She was a dog
15:05And knew that she would have been in now
15:05Where she was being a bird
15:06Was a bird
15:06She said
15:11Why would she be a Alle?
15:11She called her
15:11Vä ling
15:14She was a bee
15:15I don't know
15:17She was a VocĂŞ
15:30show me where that is yep i i don't understand who would want to hurt becky i know this must
15:37be
15:37hard were the two of you close she was a good neighbor very focused on building her brand but
15:42the building smelled nice what with her bacon all the time yeah when she wasn't sitting with smoke
15:46alarms i mean she was a sweet girl but let's just say i made sure those fire extinguishers were up
15:52to
15:52code no that's good uh when's the last time you two spoke yesterday she she was all excited because
15:58someone was coming over this morning to do a uh you know a collab i'm sorry there was another
16:03influencer over this morning and apparently it was kind of a big deal whoever this person was
16:07she said she had a huge following okay uh do you know this person's name by any chance yeah it
16:14was
16:14kind of dumb miss confection
16:22oh hey check this out becky and miss confection have been messaging for the past three weeks
16:28their dms really took off well it looks like miss confection started her channel two months ago
16:34she's already racked up over a hundred thousand followers that's not normal is it it is if you buy
16:39them miss confection was supposed to meet becky at her apartment this morning and if she did she
16:45either found becky dead or she found lou and he gets two influencers for the price of one okay her
16:50real name is christina custodio morales just sent me her address it's ten minutes away punch it in
17:12miss custodio christina you home
17:31clear
17:35what the hell is all this
17:41this is lou's place how did he afford all of this
17:45bought farming stealing and selling identities
17:48hacking into bank accounts if you're good enough code or making a fast buck is never a problem
17:57everything's still running i think you saw us coming
18:06hey guys i cannot wait for y'all to see my latest post i've never tried making these before but
18:12i've
18:12been wanting to make them forever sourdough spinach feta croissants now i know what you may be thinking
18:18are croissants already tough enough well like i like to say when the going gets tough the tough get
18:25baking so let's give it a whirl miss confection style
18:31what the hell miss confection isn't real what do you mean it's a fake avatar lou created to catfish becky
18:39she doesn't exist
19:21okay go
19:32how's it look like she's you or um you're her i don't know try saying something again
19:43abracadabra
19:45how does this even work well i've hacked into a system and people like lou use ai avatar generators to
19:51create
19:51virtual people like miss confection
19:54it happens all the time they're so human like it's hard to tell the difference but lou then used
19:59advanced generative video creation tools to make his avatar do whatever he wants
20:03like miss confection baking just like those deep fake girlfriends people fall in love with
20:09yes what i saw a documentary
20:13it's not just fake girlfriends the ai avatars like lou michaela do fashion campaigns brand
20:18integrations you name it and she's 100 not a real person and judging from miss confection's
20:23comment and dm history 99 of the people that follow her don't have any idea she's ai
20:32whoa please tell me these aren't influencers that lose targeting no these are all avatars he's created
20:41what's going on what's going on what is this
20:55oh morales feck you guys have anything nothing who are you
21:06yes you blondie
21:13what are you deaf
21:17i said who are you
21:29no
21:51i should have seen this coming that was careless the moment our team found lou's computer salon i
21:55should have known it was a trap what exactly is going on lou said a tripwire and i tripped it
22:03damn it this virus fried the entire server uh even the backups got hit how long do you think it'll
22:10take before we get our computers up and running
22:15hey this isn't your fault right just get us back online okay okay okay
22:31i'm an fbi agent we know miss confection is an avatar you made up lou well kudos to you then
22:39that's more than i can say for becky oh but what can you expect from minds that have begun to
22:44rot
22:44from the inside out from the inside out you really think that you're going to convince people social
22:49media is the problem when you're the one out there using it to kill them
22:56oh i actually disagree you know we used to reward creativity we used to reward innovation and now we're just
23:05obsessed with our own reflections online
23:11god humanity is going down the drain so fast
23:15addiction depression anxiety our lives feel broken not because they are but because nothing
23:22can compete with edited rehearsed perfection god we pay more attention to the little lights
23:28in our phone than we do to the real world around us
23:31people think that social media is not bad for you but they're wrong so what you're just gonna kill
23:38influencers that's your answer you know that these are people right people oh barely becky's was a
23:46pitiful existence look she was a lab rat she was addicted to the the dopamine drug of likes i gave
23:57humanity
23:57a beautiful gift a gift to unite us and people like becky turned that into a cesspool of narcissistic banality
24:07she didn't know what to like what to believe in until it went viral so you know what i did
24:13i freed becky
24:15from the maze and i will keep helping people like becky until humanity wakes up
24:29is something funny yeah lou some free advice for you if you're in a wage war and narcissistic banality
24:34then maybe don't speak in cliches i am speaking truth to power and i think what scares you is that
24:42my
24:43message is resonating people like what i say they're tired of sleepwalking through the abyss

29:00been catfishing is in serious danger today which one is it where is it
29:14hey is this thing gonna start it's only two years old
29:20all right now you can find lou lee if i can hack into the main server for snap max before
29:25he uploads the video what's good everyone huh is your boy rip rory here this is gonna be my final

29:53family i'm
29:54juicy you know i was so wrapped up in this
29:59did you hear me just stop hovering all right sorry he's uploading it now because it's so hard
30:04to stay true to yourself when you when you feel like you're gonna keep up with everybody else
30:10it's so hard man
30:20boom i got him okay uh the ip address is 109 east 42nd street that's the headquarters for snap max
30:29in
30:36manhattan
30:57what's wrong with me
30:58what's wrong with me
30:58scared of one of the conscious
31:02it's a nice mask how much you want for it
31:09so lou uploaded rory's video from the snap max headquarters looks like snap max just reached a
31:14billion subscribers their celebration was today every big wig from the company would have been
31:18there including linda cranston yeah she was a keynote speaker why does that name ring a ball
31:24lou mentioned her in his therapy videos she was the ceo of snap max that hired him to build the
31:28app
31:29then used it to turn it into this vanity fueled empire lou's going after linda
31:34directing us to rory's place was just a distraction to get us off the scent of his ultimate prize and
31:38if he is targeting linda like he did with the others he would have messaged her already morales
31:42i need you to scan all the dms from lou's fake avatar see if there's any messages between him and
31:47linda cranston
31:49you know i think that the ceo of a major social media company would be too tech savvy to get
31:53catfished
31:54huh c-suite makes you soft no peck's right he would have had to up his game with cranston it
