Safest town in America.
It must have been boring, huh?
Agnes and Marty made love?
Why are you keeping your husband's corpse
in your refrigerator? - You're in good company.
This is an ankle monitor.
Well, Shane said some of that drive
especially on her application to Hinkley Academy.
- I'm applying there too. - Does the DJ get to dance?
I'm just trying to understand how you and Hank are connected.
My letters, the evidence,
they destroyed it.
I don't like to leave a job unfinished,
Alison Grant.
Is that the fucking garbage man?
He's got me!
No signal.
Somebody help!
Help! Help!
Help us!
Somebody help! Help!
Help! Somebody help!
Help! Help!
Somebody help us!
- Help! - Help us!
Alison?
Alison.
Where's Gary? What did you do to him?
I killed him, like I killed his brother.
Like I'm gonna kill you.
- Shut it off. - My God. Signal?
Bluetooth.
I'm sorry. I--it's my baby monitor.
My, my baby's crying. - Poor kid.
It's too bad.
You weren't even supposed to be here.
Poor baby.
He needs his mother.
You got me down in this goddamn bunker.
I don't wanna die in a pit.
Don't get cute.
Drop the phone.
I'm sorry. Okay. I just need to vent.
You're about to kill me and I can't even vent?
She needs to go through her venting process.
We all do. We need to go through it.
Yeah. I got a pit in my stomach
and I'm gonna die without help.
Shut up.
Drop the phone.
It's done.
Ah! Wait, wait.
You owe me an explanation,
right? - We need the why.
All the great villains have a confession.
Before they kill us, they tell us a soliloquy.
Make it long.
Ladies, I just get paid
to take out the trash.
No!
Oh, sorry that I have to do this.
- No! - Now you should have stayed
on your side of the fence.
- Rob. - Samira.
Holy shit.
- Are you okay? - Physically, yes.
But emotionally, that's yet to be seen.
Are you okay? Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Actually, it was strangely kind of thrilling...
Oh, no.
Get off him!
Rob, are you okay?
Geez, Louise.
He must have caught his head on that.
No shit, Sherlock.
- Is he dead? - Yeah.
Okay.
So, I killed him.
I fucking killed him.

I feel like there might be something else
they're not telling us.
Look, man, let me take this over.
- All right. - I got this.
- Why were you all out there? - Naveen and I
were telling Samira about our childhood hideout
and she wanted to see it.
And as soon as we got there,
out of nowhere this man...
- The garbage man? - Right.
He jumps out, amped up, ready to throw hands.
Now we tried to run but he blocked us,
so we had to fight back.
I mean, we were giving him
everything that we had.
He was like the Terminator.
He would not stay down.
Was there anyone else there with you?
- No. - No.
Can you think of any reason
why Walters would wanna target you?
Too many diapers in our bins?
So he attacks you without provocation?
It was random.
Though, he did also mention in the melee
that he'd murdered our neighbor.
- Which neighbor? - Gary. He lives--
lived in the Victorian.
So, yeah, I guess it's just, yeah,
sort of, run-of-the-mill random killing spree.
I know. But I got to say
people almost always have a motive.
There's tons of stories where people just wake up
in the morning, go to work for the 8,000th time,
and just snap.
So, who landed the final blow?
It was an accident.
I did it.
It was me.
Naveen...
You killed someone?
- I... - How'd you do it?
- I pushed him. - You pushed him?
He was heavy.
Did he die by push?
No, he fell.
He fell under this metal thingy which I pushed him onto
on purpose because I've killed him.
He's clearly traumatized.
This was self-defense.
Naveen the Peen, didn't know you had the cajones.
Way to talking in those pussy flaps
run of the big dogs, huh?
Garbage men are a bunch of stinky creeps.
I mean, it's a respectable union job.
Big night for Danny boy,
finally got to see the famous pit after all these years.
I got to be honest, little letdown.
And that shrine,
I can't even imagine what you two went through.
It must have been traumatic.
Losing your best friend all of a sudden.
Nobody to talk to.
I mean, you never get over something like that.
- Thanks. Yeah, it was... - Yeah. Yeah.
...pretty tough.
But I never understood
why you two had such a hard-on for this chick.
I mean, she was a real C U Next Thursday.
- There he is. - That's not even--
actually, it technically works I guess.
Well...
From where I stand,
this is all pretty cut and dry.
We're gonna write this up.
You folks have a good night.
wow.
What the actual fuck just happened?
You just saved my life.
That's what happened.
I wish we could have saved Gary too.
I'm never letting go of you.
You're trapped now here forever
In in the cul-de-sac of my arms.
There's nowhere else I'd rather be.
Honey, I love you.
Ow.
We gotta stop touching each other.
That really hurt, but I love you too.
Shh, shh, shh, shh.
I thought I'd never see my boys again.
I know she wanted to be alone,
but do you think she's okay over there
all by herself without Gary?
Yeah.
We got the guy that did this to her.
She's safe now.
We all are.
Yeah.
I just hope that
even for a brief moment, he got the closure he needed
because he wanted to know what happened to his brother
just like I wanted to know what happened to me.
And he got so close to the truth,
you know, too close.
To Gary, a good guy.
And a bad neighbor.
Just to clarify one thing,
were you ever actually married to him?
No. It was just a cover in case someone discovered me.
Well, I'm sorry that I blew up your spot.
Here I was thinking everybody else was nosy neighbors.
Turns out it's us.
So, what's next, Al?
Uh, what's next
is I'm getting the fuck out of Hinkley Hills.
Yeah. I think I'm gonna leave tonight
'cause the garbage man is gone
and nobody else needs to know I'm here.
So, my secret dies with him
because you covered for me.
And the house? I don't know.
I still own it under a trust.
So, I might have my lawyers put it up for auction
and find you guys a weird new neighbor.
- Oh, God. - So, are you guys
here for a good time or a long time?
This is home.
Official Hiltonians.
I mean, technically, we're still my parents' tenants,
but I guess the house is as good as ours
even if it doesn't feel like ours.
Naveen, would you like to help me clean up
and take this stuff to the kitchen?
- Yeah. Sure. - Okay.
- Thanks a lot. - Thank you.
We spent the last 20 years wondering
what happened to you,
and now you're leaving again?
We need more than a few days.
We need weeks, years.
I'm finally free.
I, I don't have to look over my shoulder anymore.
Exactly. A better reason for you to stay.
I was never, ever gonna spend my whole life in Hinkley Hills.
You make it sound like it's a bad thing.
No. I didn't mean it like that. I just meant...
I never fit in here.
And this place holds a lot of bad memories.
Even though it holds a lot of good ones too, it does.
But I need to move on for my own peace and sanity.
I want to turn over a new leaf and let it go.
And you should too.
Don't forget about us.
I never did,
and I never will.
Thank you for looking out for me.
- I got you, girl. - And thank you, guys,
for always making me feel safe.
Now that my phone isn't in a ditch in the woods,
you know how to find me.
Yo, one more time for the boys?
- For the boys. - For the goddamn boys.
Get her in.
Sorry I'm late, guys. - Oh.
I thought we could use somethin' stronger tonight
than dry old sauv blanc.
Also, I brought some snacks to pass around.
So, please help yourselves. - See Alison's rubbed off on you.
- I'm never eating that again. - Now, that's how I feel
about tequila
ever since Marty and I went to Acapulco
on our honeymoon. - What happened in Acapulco?
I took my top off at dinner.
What? - I know that's right.
Lynn, you took your titties out?
This is like Rob with whiskey.
Banned. - No dark liquor,
no dark places as I always say.
A lack of berries with the juice.
- Glasses up, guys. Let's do it. - Woo.
- Throw it back. - Cheers.
That's my third.
I'm trashed.
I just get paid to take out the trash.
What's up, babe?
The garbage man said,
"I just get paid to take out the trash."
What about it? I mean,
that's some weird thing to say, isn't it?
And, and it's the way he said it,
"I just get paid to take out the trash."
It was like paid and trash.
What are you talking about here?
What are you sayin'? - Saying I'm paid
to take the trash out implies...
you're paid by someone.
And what if Walters' just following somebody else's orders
and what if that somebody else is still out there?
Or I can just accept that we got the guy
and it's all over.
That's what Alison did.

Tod, you in here? You may enter.
I got something to show you.
Are you ready for this one? - Yeah.
No monitor.
I did my time and I'm no longer under sac arrest.
Sounds French, you know? Sac arrest.
Where's the enthusiasm, Tod?
Aren't you happy for me?
Thrilled to bits.
I mean, I guess your range of emotions tends to be
on the, you know, subtle side.
I'm good with that.
Well, what does Dana Dog want to do
now that she's free to get her groove on?
I want a breach of perimeter.
I wanna get the fuck out of this cul-de-sac.
All right then. Let's do it.
God, I love this street.
I've been thinkin'. You know what's weird?
Everyone that lives in this neighborhood?
That part.
No follow up on the garbage man.
Barely any news.
I mean, it's like nobody even mentions Gary.
The whole town just swept it under the rug
like nothin' happened. - I mean,
I guess the whole murderous garbage man
does slightly chafe with the safest town
in America thing. - Almost like a cover-up.
Yeah. It would slightly support your theory.
- What the hell? - What is it?
"He helped me start a new chapter.
Here's a chance to start yours.
Keep it, sell it, blow it the free
whatever you wanna do.
All my love, Alison."
I don't get it.
Alison made us the trustees.
What?
The Victorian is ours.
I need to close this loop.
I really wanna make sure that this is over.
If you say that there's more to this,
then there's more to it.
I appreciate that.
This is very Mr. and Mrs. Smith of us.
Mr. and Mrs. Fisher.
Or dare I say it, quite Bond?
Ugh. Not Sean Connelly again.
Right. It's Connery.
And I stand by the fact that it is a very good impression.
Giving Austin Powers meets Shrek.
If that's what you're going for, I love it.
You're killing me here.
That right there, is too soon.
Fair. Oh, this is so confusing.
Why would the garbage man go after all of these people?
So, none of them seem to have any connection.
Unless-- you know how Danny said--
and yes, I know I'm referencing Danny
that, uh, everyone has a motive?
I kinda zoned out after he said
the thing about Naveen's pussy flaps.
Yeah. Well, he was right about one thing.
They always do. - Unless they suddenly snap.
Yeah. But the garbage man didn't snap
over the course of 20 years.
He had to have a motive.
So, I'm saying that
there has to be a connective thread here.
Do we need to establish a pattern?

I never thought that I'd stay in Hinkley Hills my whole life,
but... here I am.
Okay. I know that the suburbs get a bad rep sometimes,
but I've lived a lot of places in my life
and this is one of the best.
It's a good place to grow up.
- Do you want kids? - I want nothing more.
- Me too. - Cool. Me too.
You said that already.
You know, I'm, I'm really glad that you texted me.
I'm glad you gave me another shot.
I, I totally did not deserve it after the way I acted.
And I totally would have understood
if you never wanted to see me again.
- But I'm so-- - Naveen. Naveen.
I like you, Naveen.
And you have really great taste to music.
You think so?
Uh-hmm.
♪ called lies ♪
Cool.
Wow.
Mr. Whitmore is here. Who's that?
My history teacher, junior year.
What's his deal?
Mr. Shitmore,
kind of an open goal for a kid like Danny Daniels.
He's the most hated teacher at Hinkley High.
- What'd he do? - I remember this year
where he failed a lot of the kids in his class,
which to be fair, they kind of deserved
because they were all quite lazy and stupid.
But then the parents complained to the principal
and the school board, tried to get him fired.
- Did they fire him? - No, they didn't.
So, what happened to him?
He died.
How'd he die?
A hiking accident in the Rockies,
which I remember being weird at the time.
And why is that weird? I could have sworn
I'd seen him in the library that morning.
I don't know, maybe I didn't.
Well, you did. And someone's lying.
I've also been listening to a lot of like
Ethiopian jazz lately
to clear my head
after everything with the attack.
Yeah. No. I'm sorry. Like, I just--
I didn't know if I should bring it up or if...
No. It's fine.
I'm, I'm--I should talk about it more.
I'm trying to talk about my feelings more in general.
Apparently, therapy works. Oh.
You are ticking off some big boxes, Naveen.
We love men in therapy.
Were you terrified? - I was really terrified.
But then my papa bear instincts kicked in and that was it.
That was a wrap. I was like Super Mario
getting a power up.
Let's go.
Anyway, it's like a super strength
entered into my body
that I didn't even know was in me.
Like, those moms that lift cars off their kids.
I didn't wanna kill him, but I couldn't let
my little buddy, Miles, grow up without his parents.
You wanna hear a crazy theory
about the garbage man? - What's that?
I think he was working for someone.
- The town? - No,
like a work-for-hire assassin, like a henchman.
Well, then why would he come after you?
Oh. He, he didn't come after me per se,
but there were others. - I'm sorry.
I'm not following. - Okay.
It's a crazy story. - Okay. I'm listening.
The guy that owned this place...
- Uh-hmm. - ...Hank...
- Uh-hmm. - ...disappeared, right?
Oh, no.
Oh.
Ugh.
Agnes...
to what do I owe this distinct displeasure?
Lynn, I've come to speak to you woman to woman.
What does that mean?
I'm not gonna pussyfoot around it.
I know. - Know, know what?
- About you and Bill. - Oh,
I, I don't know what you're talking about.
Let's not do this.
I've seen the suggestive gardening.
I know he joined your woods walk.
Don't think I am not aware of everything
that goes on in my neighborhood.
And don't think that I don't know...
about you and Marty.
Are you really gonna hold something against me
that happened in the past
with someone who is no longer with us?
- Yes. - You really do need
to learn to let things go.
Bill is a lovely man.
And frankly, he deserves better than you.
Lynn, are you aware
that Marty never pulled the proper permits
when you renovated your kitchen?
I let it slide because, hmm, we were close.
But there's a very hefty fine.
And on consideration,
I think I'll have to call the inspector.
See you around, neighbor.
Oh, Marty, we are fucked.
Ah, man, what the fuck?
Oh, hey. House key privilege.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean to re-traumatize you,
but this is an emergency.
- Are you okay? - I am very much not.
I came to you because you're a friend,
but more importantly, at this exact moment,
because you're a lawyer. - Okay. Go on.
Yeah. I desperately need expert legal advice.
And this can be a private conversation, correct?
Uh, attorney-client privilege,
I waive my secrets, uh, double indemnity.
Well, that's not exactly how this works.
I have been keeping Marty's body in my fridge
for the last six months.
- You serious? - Deadly serious.
I, I didn't kill him.
He, he was getting eggs
and he had a heart attack
and he's still in there.
And an inspector is coming.
This is above my pay grade.
I mean, failure to report a death is a felony.
I was afraid you would confirm that.
So, what are my options?
Who else knows about this?
Dana and Tod, and now you.
Ugh. Damn.
Why am I always murder adjacent?
I didn't kill him, but I can't get arrested.
I have--I have delicate wrists and I run cold.
Oh, God. They'll find him.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Why didn't I bury him when I had the chance?
I have an idea.
Going left, this way.
Shh, shush.
Okay, left. Wait.
No, this way. Stay straight. Stay straight.
I know, but... Veering.
Sorry, I'm directionally challenged.
You gotta work on your biceps, Tod.
It's pinching my finger.
Tod? Oh.
Ah. Oh, it's on my foot.
Fuck. Shh.
Hey.
That's it.
Rest well, buddy.
If I could just say a few words.
Marty, you were so loved.
You were a wonderful friend,
father, and husband most of the time.
I spent over half my life with you
and I will miss you every day.
Even though you hurt me,
I forgive you.
And even though...
you won't be with me anymore,
you'll always be next door.
Um, I, I really loved your pie.
It was--it was a very good pie.
We're gonna take care of your gal over here, Marty.
We're surrounding Lynn
and you'll rest well in this spot.
People already think there are bones in there.
Might as well be yours, right?
I wish I could have met you,
but you could say I met you in a way.
Are those from Agnes' yard?
Oh, right.
Tod, you have a death wish.
Go first. But you know,
I don't want to get my berries from there.
Yoo-hoo.
Is that Hinkley Hills' hottest, bravest couple?
- Hey. - Hi.
- After us, of course. - Uh-hmm.
How you healin', Benedict Cumberbitch?
Yeah. It's good stuff.
It's actually pretty painful
and traumatic, but thanks.
Oof, totally.
Did you hear?
Your neighbor, Gary,
bequeathed the Victorian to the town in his will.
Isn't that such a pleasant
and unexpected surprise? - Yeah. Wow.
Most surprises tend to be unexpected.
Oh, my God, you're so funny. I know.
- British. - Yeah.
You know he was murdered, right?
Ugh. I don't like to dwell.
Uh, that cat was such a weirdo.
too is thrilled, of course.
We can finally clean up
my great-great-grandfather's home
and restore it to its former glory.
I didn't realize you were a Hinkley.
We don't like to flaunt the pedigree.
- Hinkleys stay humble. - Sorry not sorry in advance
for all the construction noise.
Anyway, it is so good to see you, guys.
We'll see you guys around? Okay.
Yes? Sounds good.
But Alison gave us the deed and the keys,
so why lie?
She's here.
Hi, honey.
I have some big news.
Oh, lay it on me.
Guess who got into Hinkley Academy?
What? Yes.
Girl, I'm so proud of you.
Oh, I can't say I'm surprised.
Ah. - You will remember us
when you do inevitably end up in the White House.
Exactly.
I'll give you that.
Was there anything else?
Um, I overheard Ainsley's mom
and grandma outside just now.
They said the people the academy let in this year are trash.
I'm sorry. They-- they're just jealous, okay?
I have so many words for them right now,
not of which would be appropriate
to say in front of you.
It's okay.
Your boy Naveen coming tonight?
Um, unfortunately not.
He's on a second date.
- Are you okay, hun? - Yeah. Sorry.
Rory told me she overheard Agnes and Lauren say
she and the other kids that got into Hinkley Hills Academy
this year are trash.
What? - And I just--
I feel a way about it. I heard
that Agnes' granddaughter didn't get a spot.
She was actually one of the parents
that went for that teacher that I was...
- Uh-hmm. - ...telling you about.
Agnes led some insane crusade
to try to get him fired.
- And then he died. - Uh-hmm.
- Agnes hated Alison, right? - Yeah.
- Go with me on this. - Hokas are on. Do it.
For decades,
people in Hinkley Hills have gone missing.
We weren't the only ones who went missing.
He's about as much in Hawaii
as Elvis is running a gas station on Pittsburgh.
Alison and Gary found the link,
but they couldn't find the motive.
I think I did.
All right. Get on with it.
Everyone on Alison and Gary's list
of potential victims went against the town.
Okay. They were a nuisance.
They were a problem.
They were trash. But then the parents
complained to the principal and the school board,
tried to get him fired. There was a guy
who sold handbags out of the trunk of his car.
A small business owner refused to sell.
And the garbage man took them out.
I just get paid...
to take out the trash.
It's a bit on the nose. He said paid,
implying that he was following someone else's orders.
Girl, you get the trash truck doing the damn thing
on a Sunday. - Come on.
What are you trying to say?
Who is rabidly hell-bent
on keeping this town pristine at all costs?
Who terrorizes their neighbors?
Who uses their position to, to keep people in line?
Think of it as your new bible.
The evil overlord.
The person that spent 25 years
devoting their life to keeping Hinkley Hills the...
Safest town in America.
