The Perfect Killer

Sorry.

I don't have all night, sweetheart.

Yeah, right. Not gonna happen.

You didn't even check my card, man!

Next!

Hey, what's up?

Seriously? That's me in the picture, Charlie Gibson!

Come on in, ladies.

Really? - Listen, it's not your night.

Dude, if you know how to do math,

you'll see I just turned 21.

Whatever. Get in.

OK. Go on in.

Thank you.

Jack.

Hello?

Whoa, whoa, slow down. I can barely understa...

Have you been drinking?

It's Charlie.

Put her on speaker.

Hey, Charlie? It's Dad. Can you hear me?

Dad. I need help. I need... picked up.

Where are you?

217 Scott Street. Please hurry.

OK, stay right there; I'm on my way.

No! Please don't hurt me! I'll do anything!

Charlie!

It got disconnected.

Call her back.

Charlie's greeting: Hey! You've reached Charlie.

It went straight to voice mail.

You stay here in case she comes back.

Call me as soon as you pick her up.

I will. - Be careful.

I love you. - I love you too.

Hey, you've reached Charlie.

Please leave a message after the beep.

Charlie's voice: DAD! HELP ME!

Charlie?

Charlie, where are you?

Charlie, say something, please!

Help me!

Where are you?

Charlie!

Charlie, oh my God.

Why are you still up, Mila?

Oh!

What are you doing!

Your phone call nearly scared the life out of us.

Your father is out there looking for you right now.

Call? What call?

You called him! You were crying, asking to be picked up.

No. I never called Dad.

My phone's been dead for hours. See?

That's impossible!

Charlie: It wasn't me!

I swear it was your voice, your screams

the way you speak when you cry.

I told you my phone's dead.

I was... at a friend's place; They'll tell you.

Maybe you drank too much, and you don't remember...

I mean, this wouldn't be...

Hi. I'm Detective Faulkner.

Are you Mila Gibson? Can I come in for a minute?

Yes, please.

This way.

Hi, Charlie. I'm Detective Faulkner.

Did you find my dad?

We have a team at 217 Scott Street as we speak.

I'll need to take this.

Faulkner speak in.

So it's confirmed then?

Sit tight. I'll be right there.

What is it?

Did they find him?

I'm afraid I have some bad news.

The body that we found was... was your father.

I'm so sorry.

Hey, it's Matthew. You know the drill.

Matthew, why the hell are you ignoring me?

I need you!

Dad's been... shot.

Someone killed him.

Please call me back!

[Charlie's panicked phone message playing]

Dad: Where are you?

Charlie: 217 Scott Street. Please hurry!

Dad: OK stay right there. I'm on my way!

Charlie: No, please! Don't hurt me! I'll do anything!

Dad: Charlie!

Mila: And that's where the call drops.

It wasn't me.

I'll be checking your call history

as well as your father's.

We know he recorded his calls,

so we'll see what else we an find.

Is this process long or...?

No. We should know more soon enough.

Tim: Jack was my best friend!

I can't believe you didn't call me last night!

Why the hell did I have to hear about this from my ex-wife?

How come Melody knows?

I called her.

I'm sorry, Tim, I'm gonna have to call you back.

What? She's my Godmother! I don't get why

you have such a problem with me telling her about it.

I don't. I would just rather you...

Mila, I don't understand why you stopped talking to Melody.

But it's clear to me that she's upset about it.

I have my reasons.

Sure. And you can't tell me just cause I'm 16!

I can't. I'm late. I'm meeting Melody.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier.

Oh, honey, come here! Come here.

I don't understand any of this. Who would want to kill Dad?

I don't know. Everybody loves Jack.

Charie: I lied.

About what?

I told Mila and the detective

that I was at a friend's house last night but...

I was at the Moonlight Bar.

Honey. It's OK,

but you do need to tell them the truth

before they find out on their own.

If I had just stayed home instead of acting out,

Dad would have never had to run and save me,

and he would still be alive.

No! Charlie, you do not blame yourself for this.

Of course you wanted to blow off some steam.

OK? They shouldn't have fought like that in front of you.

You don't put too much on your shoulders, OK?

OK.

Matthew texted me.

That's good.

I'm gonna see him around 10.

He told his parents about my dad.

I can't even imagine how Rebecca and Harrison

are feeling right now. They were so close to Jack.

Yeah.

They were friends before I was even born.

Rebecca: What are you doing?

Packing.

I can see that!

Why are you packing?

I understand how you must feel.

Jack was your best friend and...

I don't think you understand, Rebecca cause

right now, I don't even know how I feel.

Maybe you should consider seeing a therapist?

What I need is to spend some time alone and clear my head.

I'm gonna spend some time at the cabin.

Hey. I'm so sorry about everything. I...

I don't know what to say. It's terrible, I...

OK.

I need some air.

I wasn't sober last night but I'm telling the truth.

I didn't call Mila.

I believe you.

It was so scary.

The detective played the phone call so I could hear.

It was my voice, Matt!

Check this out.

AI scams are more common than you think.

Hey. I heard about this.

It says here that you only need three seconds of someone's voice

to duplicate it to almost a tee.

It's really hard to detect,

especially if we think our loved ones are in danger.

Scams like this,

they're usually used to ask for a ransom, not to...

I know. It's obvious now that someone wanted to target my dad.

They basically called him there just to... kill him.

Who would want him dead?

He put so many criminals in jail

back when he was district attorney

The list of people angry with him? It's a long one.

Rebecca. Hi.
