So you do have a fear?

00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,374
Well, of course, I have fear.

466

years since I created anything

Then one day,
as fate would have it,

493
00:31:35,769 --> 00:31:38,230
I was sent to Mexico

closer than just a few hours.

I had no oversight.

501
00:31:53,746 --> 00:31:55,706
I did have a translator
if I needed it,

502
00:31:55,748 --> 00:31:57,416

That's not a compliment.

Well, one night I saw her.

508
00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:18,646
She was so beautiful
she could have been Miss Mexico.

509
00:32:19,730 --> 00:32:21,690
Her hair and her skin.

510
00:32:23,901 --> 00:32:27,738
I found myself wondering,
was her skin cold to the touch,

511
00:32:27,780 --> 00:32:30,324
or had the Mexican
sun warmed it just enough?

512
00:32:32,326 --> 00:32:35,621
I wanted her
right then and there

513
00:32:36,872 --> 00:32:39,124
but I knew
that it would take time and...

514
00:32:40,459 --> 00:32:43,045
I decided
to retire to my room.

515
00:32:44,129 --> 00:32:46,548
But the more I stayed there,
I could hear her...

516
00:32:47,299 --> 00:32:55,891
calling to me as
if she desired to be fulfilled.

517
00:32:56,350 --> 00:32:57,643
So what did you do?

518
00:32:58,394 --> 00:33:01,397
My anticipation was so great
that I knew I had to find her.

519
00:33:02,439 --> 00:33:04,692
I started
my journey by going

520
00:33:04,733 --> 00:33:07,945
from cantina to cantina,
until, as if fate

521
00:33:07,986 --> 00:33:10,364
put her right there
in front of me there she was.

522
00:33:11,740 --> 00:33:15,452
I found a seat in the back
of the bar and sat there

523

watching her, observing her.

how is your Spanish?

525
00:33:23,919 --> 00:33:24,837
It's not.

speaking about...

528

529
00:33:31,927 --> 00:33:33,137

something along the lines

530

00:59:54,466 --> 00:59:56,343
their eating habits,
do they work out?

887
00:59:56,635 --> 00:59:57,803
Who are they fucking?

888
00:59:58,220 --> 01:00:00,639
It's quite taxing
if I must say so myself.

889
01:00:01,307 --> 01:00:02,641
I feel for you.

890
01:00:03,726 --> 01:00:07,062
[chuckles] I really don't mind
the work, if I'm being honest.

891
01:00:08,188 --> 01:00:12,359
So, apparently,
she was everything

892
01:00:12,401 --> 01:00:13,610
you've been looking for.

893
01:00:15,070 --> 01:00:16,405
She truly was.

894
01:00:16,780 --> 01:00:18,907
It turns out I had
seen her somewhere before.

895
01:00:18,949 --> 01:00:21,869
So I followed her obsessively
for weeks after that.

896
01:00:22,536 --> 01:00:25,998
Another lonely woman,
easy prey.

897
01:00:27,458 --> 01:00:30,044
You know, I'm sure that
being the coward that you are,

898
01:00:34,923 --> 01:00:36,592
you would
choose a woman like that.

899
01:00:38,469 --> 01:00:40,012
You know,
someone who doesn't have

900
01:00:40,054 --> 01:00:41,555
anyone to care for
her if she went missing.

901
01:00:44,433 --> 01:00:45,768
[Joe] You think so little of me.

902
01:00:45,809 --> 01:00:46,935
I really do.

903
01:00:49,104 --> 01:00:50,689
Well, then it should
make you happy to know

904
01:00:50,731 --> 01:00:52,566
that she is married,
has a husband and a job.

905
01:00:52,608 --> 01:00:54,735
A real artist prefers
to work hard not easy.

906
01:00:54,777 --> 01:00:58,822
It's only when it looks
easy that it becomes effortless.

907
01:00:58,864 --> 01:01:01,992
Interesting.
So do you feel like you achieve

908
01:01:02,034 --> 01:01:04,286
something by leaving
a family behind to grieve?

909
01:01:04,328 --> 01:01:07,581
Irrelevant. Emotion has
nothing to do with it.

910
01:01:08,165 --> 01:01:09,750
Although I'm sure
there's certain

911
01:01:09,792 --> 01:01:11,001
circumstances where
that might be different.

912
01:01:11,043 --> 01:01:12,544
I'm-- I'm not sure yet.

913
01:01:13,837 --> 01:01:18,092
So she's kidnapped
or incapacitated

914
01:01:20,677 --> 01:01:23,430
elsewhere, but then if
you killed the husband

915
01:01:23,472 --> 01:01:27,017
it would be 26 murders,

916
01:01:27,059 --> 01:01:29,269
not 25.

917
01:01:29,812 --> 01:01:32,272
My little Alexis still
trying to jump to the end.

918
01:01:32,564 --> 01:01:34,400
- Kind of a habit.
- I bet.

919
01:01:36,402 --> 01:01:38,987
Like I said, this project's
different for a lot of reasons.

920
01:01:39,029 --> 01:01:41,698
I see a lot of things
when I stalk my canvases.

921
01:01:41,740 --> 01:01:43,492
I get to know
who they truly are,

922
01:01:43,534 --> 01:01:45,744
who they interact with,
what their work habits are.

923
01:01:46,578 --> 01:01:50,416
The other side of it is you also
get to know their families.

924
01:01:50,457 --> 01:01:54,128
You get a pretty good
glimpse into their world.

925
01:01:54,420 --> 01:01:56,422
And this one's an adulterer?

926
01:01:57,548 --> 01:02:00,259
Do you come across
that a lot in your line of work?

927
01:02:02,553 --> 01:02:03,679
So...

928
01:02:04,930 --> 01:02:07,933
do you feel like you're
punishing them for their sins?

929
01:02:08,725 --> 01:02:10,436
Their sins have
nothing to do with it,

930
01:02:10,853 --> 01:02:13,772
although it-- it is a bit
entertaining from time to time.

931
01:02:13,814 --> 01:02:15,441
I'm sure you get a real
kick outta that.

932
01:02:15,482 --> 01:02:18,152
Mm, goosebumps.

933
01:02:19,862 --> 01:02:23,991
Okay, so she's, um,
sleeping with her sister's

934
01:02:24,032 --> 01:02:26,952
husband as well as her own?

935
01:02:27,369 --> 01:02:30,581
Actually, she's sleeping
with her sister's husband.

936
01:02:31,832 --> 01:02:33,417
Wait, wait, wait.
I'm confused.

937
01:02:33,459 --> 01:02:35,043
I thought the woman
that you were following

938
01:02:35,377 --> 01:02:37,504
that you have at your house
of horrors right now is--

939
01:02:39,465 --> 01:02:42,593
wait, is not her.

940
01:02:43,051 --> 01:02:45,053
- She is not.
- It's her sister.

941
01:02:45,554 --> 01:02:46,722
She is.

942
01:02:49,516 --> 01:02:50,851
I guess that's a twist.

943
01:02:51,852 --> 01:02:53,312
Evil sister gets killed.

944
01:02:53,645 --> 01:02:55,397
Loyal wife
lives to see another day.

945
01:02:55,439 --> 01:02:57,691
Well, it's looking like that,
but it's a little

946
01:02:57,733 --> 01:02:59,067
bit too early to tell.

947
01:02:59,610 --> 01:03:00,944
What about
the husband in all this?

948
01:03:01,820 --> 01:03:03,113
You prefer he to die?

949
01:03:03,530 --> 01:03:05,741
But I'm not--
I'm not saying that.

950
01:03:05,782 --> 01:03:06,867
I just...

951
01:03:07,701 --> 01:03:08,869
I find it odd

952
01:03:09,620 --> 01:03:12,748
that you would
replace one woman

953
01:03:12,789 --> 01:03:15,209
with another woman
because of infidelity.

954
01:03:15,667 --> 01:03:18,003
But it's only
the women that pay.

955
01:03:19,546 --> 01:03:21,340
I see.
So you think I'm a sexist?

956
01:03:21,381 --> 01:03:22,591
If the shoe fits.

957
01:03:23,050 --> 01:03:24,968
Well, you'll be happy
to know that the husband

958
01:03:25,010 --> 01:03:26,470
is not going unpunished.

959
01:03:27,721 --> 01:03:28,847
But not dead.

960
01:03:29,973 --> 01:03:31,683
Some fates are worse than death.

961
01:03:32,267 --> 01:03:33,602
Such as?

962
01:03:33,977 --> 01:03:35,646
I think you should
take my word for this one.

963
01:03:36,980 --> 01:03:38,190
For now, I suppose.

964
01:03:38,815 --> 01:03:41,652
But I guess
we're towards the end.

965
01:03:41,693 --> 01:03:42,778
So...

966
01:03:44,530 --> 01:03:45,948
where is this all going?

967
01:03:45,989 --> 01:03:47,157
What's next?

968
01:03:50,953 --> 01:03:53,914
Do you consider
yourself a sexual being, Alexis?

969
01:03:55,165 --> 01:03:56,500
That's none of your business.

970
01:03:56,875 --> 01:03:58,835
All of this
honesty flowing from me.

971
01:03:58,877 --> 01:04:01,421
The story of your career handed
to you on a silver platter and

972
01:04:01,463 --> 01:04:03,257
you would deprive me
of one simple question.

973
01:04:03,298 --> 01:04:05,884
I would deprive you of
anything you wanted from me.

974
01:04:07,719 --> 01:04:09,304
Here I thought we were flirting.

975
01:04:10,973 --> 01:04:12,432
I could blow
your whistle right now.

976
01:04:14,893 --> 01:04:16,019
I could scream.

977
01:04:19,481 --> 01:04:21,358
Why don't we do this, huh?

978
01:04:22,067 --> 01:04:23,193
Let's play a game.

979
01:04:24,319 --> 01:04:27,489
It's called "Does the man with
the God complex think he can get

980
01:04:27,531 --> 01:04:29,783
away with it if I
scream right now?"

981
01:04:31,577 --> 01:04:33,495
- That's a dangerous game.
- Don't like the odds?

982
01:04:34,204 --> 01:04:36,039
I'd say they're
slightly in my favor.

983
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:38,250
How do you figure?

984
01:04:39,459 --> 01:04:40,752
I'll tell you
under one condition.

985
01:04:40,794 --> 01:04:41,920
That is?

986
01:04:41,962 --> 01:04:43,338
You answer my question.

987
01:04:43,380 --> 01:04:47,259
Are you,
Alexis, a sexual being?

988
01:04:49,553 --> 01:04:50,721
I suppose I am.

989
01:04:50,762 --> 01:04:51,888
Aren't we all?

990
01:04:52,681 --> 01:04:54,224
Enough to keep your
husband happy at home?

991
01:04:54,266 --> 01:04:55,434
Of course.

992
01:04:56,184 --> 01:04:58,103
I guess your
relationship's a special one

993
01:04:58,770 --> 01:05:03,483
beyond the temptations
of the flesh.

994
01:05:06,361 --> 01:05:08,739
What the hell is this? Like,
what are you talking about?

995
01:05:09,489 --> 01:05:10,991
Emotions.

996
01:05:14,494 --> 01:05:16,997
Yeah.
I've got a finger for you too.

997
01:05:18,290 --> 01:05:20,751
I can only continue, Alexis,
if you promise to keep it down.

998
01:05:20,792 --> 01:05:22,461
No sense in losing your head.

999
01:05:22,502 --> 01:05:24,713
Besides,
it's so unbecoming of you.

1000
01:05:25,922 --> 01:05:27,758
- Fine.
- Thank you.

1001
01:05:40,354 --> 01:05:41,855
What the hell is this?

1002
01:05:42,189 --> 01:05:43,607
That is a picture of
your husband making love to

1003
01:05:43,649 --> 01:05:45,567
your sister at her home,
of course.

1004
01:05:49,738 --> 01:05:51,365
Where did you get this?

1005
01:05:51,657 --> 01:05:53,575
A little something I came
across while stalking my victim.

1006
01:05:55,619 --> 01:05:58,538
My sister is your victim?

1007
01:05:58,955 --> 01:06:00,165
Yes.

1008
01:06:02,793 --> 01:06:06,129
So if she's your victim...

1009
01:06:07,631 --> 01:06:08,882
Keep going.

1010
01:06:11,968 --> 01:06:13,220
...I'm the original.

1011
01:06:13,261 --> 01:06:14,554
Yes.

1012
01:06:14,596 --> 01:06:15,722
Why me?

1013
01:06:16,682 --> 01:06:18,892
I knew I'd seen
you somewhere before, Alexis.

1014
01:06:18,934 --> 01:06:21,186
And as beautiful as a piece of
art as you would've been,

1015
01:06:21,478 --> 01:06:22,896
I felt that your baby sister

1016
01:06:22,938 --> 01:06:25,524
deserved it
just a little bit more.

1017
01:06:29,361 --> 01:06:30,696
When was this picture taken?

1018
01:06:31,238 --> 01:06:33,699
This morning. The same
place he goes every Thursday.

1019
01:06:37,786 --> 01:06:39,246
Do you notice anything else?

1020
01:06:39,621 --> 01:06:40,789
Painting.

1021
01:06:41,289 --> 01:06:42,624
Isn't she exquisite?

1022
01:06:43,625 --> 01:06:45,335
I-- I know
you can't see it very well,

1023
01:06:45,377 --> 01:06:49,047
but she truly
is beautiful, Alexis.

1024
01:06:52,092 --> 01:06:54,970
- Where is she?
- She's a true piece of art.

1025
01:06:55,595 --> 01:06:59,099
And your sister will be
just as breathtaking very soon.

1026
01:07:00,475 --> 01:07:02,269
Where is she?

1027
01:07:02,602 --> 01:07:04,229
She's ready to
get what she deserves.

1028
01:07:04,271 --> 01:07:06,231
I told you what I do
for a living, Alexis.

1029
01:07:06,273 --> 01:07:08,775
You're not a very good reporter
if you can't figure that out.

1030
01:07:09,568 --> 01:07:12,070
- She's at home.
- Yes.

1031
01:07:18,702 --> 01:07:20,412
- Did you give the shot?
- Yes.

1032
01:07:23,749 --> 01:07:24,875
Where's my husband?

1033
01:07:25,167 --> 01:07:26,293
Do you care?

1034
01:07:27,210 --> 01:07:28,545
Of course I care!

1035
01:07:30,464 --> 01:07:31,673
You'd save them.

1036
01:07:33,133 --> 01:07:34,259
Yes.

1037
01:07:35,343 --> 01:07:36,428
That's a shame.

1038
01:07:37,220 --> 01:07:38,680
Well, I suppose we're
at that point where it's

1039
01:07:38,722 --> 01:07:40,098
time for you to make a choice.

1040
01:07:42,893 --> 01:07:44,019
What choice?

1041
01:07:45,020 --> 01:07:48,356
You can choose to rush
home and save them or you can

1042
01:07:48,398 --> 01:07:50,108
take that recording
device you have me and

1043
01:07:50,150 --> 01:07:51,818
plaster me all over the news.

1044
01:07:52,152 --> 01:07:54,863
Very clever to turn
it on when you did Alexis.

1045
01:07:54,905 --> 01:07:56,490
Either choice is fine with me,

1046
01:07:56,531 --> 01:08:00,202
but ultimately
it is your choice.

1047
01:08:01,161 --> 01:08:02,996
Even if I do
choose to save them,

1048
01:08:05,081 --> 01:08:06,750
what makes you think
I won't go to the police?

1049
01:08:07,709 --> 01:08:10,128
I'm fully prepared to
disappear all over again.

1050
01:08:10,170 --> 01:08:12,589
New city, new canvases.

1051
01:08:14,216 --> 01:08:15,926
Your fingerprints
are all over the table.

1052
01:08:16,510 --> 01:08:18,970
I rid myself off of
fingerprints years ago.

1053
01:08:22,307 --> 01:08:24,184
So I either save my family

1054
01:08:25,143 --> 01:08:26,478
or turn you in to the police?

1055
01:08:26,770 --> 01:08:28,271
Think about it.

1056
01:08:28,605 --> 01:08:30,607
Think about what this
story could do for your career.

1057
01:08:31,817 --> 01:08:35,320
You think I care more
about this story than my family?

1058
01:08:35,362 --> 01:08:36,530
I think you should.

1059
