Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on A m*rder
at the End of the World...

What if we find a woman who fought off

the k*ller and lived to tell?

There must be thousands

of reports like that.

[BILL] But we just need one

that mentions silver jewelry.

- Holy f*ck.
- [DARBY] Yeah.

- We should go talk to her in person.
- How?

I'll come pick you up.
I can drive you to Iowa.

[ANDY] Bill Farrah passed away

last night.

- [MARTIN] What?
- [LU MEI] Oh, my God.

It appears that he overdosed

in his room sometime after midnight.

- [DARBY] Ray?
- [RAY CHIMES]

[DARBY] Can you help me?

[RAY] Of course.

Do right-handed people

usually inject themselves
into their right arm?

Rarely, if ever.

[DARBY WHISPERING] Bill
didn't k*ll himself.

Someone else did.

Probably someone in this room.

[LEE WHISPERING] The
cameras here are wireless.

They're on their own VLAN.

Don't get caught.

[DARBY] Time to spill
your secrets, friend.

Nice ride, by the way.

Oh, thanks. It's my uncle's.

I borrowed it.

But he doesn't... he
doesn't know it yet.

♪ Always down... ♪

- So you stole it?
- No, I left a note.

♪ I know, I know... ♪

At... point two miles.

You ever heard of death by GPS?

Happens all the time. There was a...

a mom and son in Death Valley

who followed the blue
dot into quicksand.

Swallowed the car whole.

It was f*cking terrible. They d*ed.

Why would the GPS route them that way?

Quickest way to get
from A to B, I guess.

Why did they go through the quicksand?

- Why did they go through it?
- Yeah.

Uh... I don't know. I guess...

- [LAUGHS]
- I guess...

Well, people trust the blue dot
more than they trust themselves.

Right?

Yeah, stupid people, maybe.

- Stupid people, yeah.
- Stupid people do.

Stupid, yeah.

[DARBY] You know, I think this victim

came after the Jane Doe
from the construction site.

[BILL] Yeah, and maybe
after the survivor

we're on our way to see.

[DARBY] There should be
a mark here somewhere.

I think this is it.

[TRAFFIC PASSING NEARBY]

The autopsy said she was
alive when he brought her here.

Marissa Bahari.

Born: Lincoln, Nebraska.

Survived by...

Amir and Benjamin Bahari.

He did it out in the open.

I mean... no trees, no buildings.

You can see the road from here.

He wasn't even trying to hide it.

You think he wanted to get caught?

No.

No, I think he just thought

he was so good, no one
would ever catch him.

[DARBY] I'm gonna catch you.

- Ray?
- [CHIMES] Yes, Darby?

Where is everyone?

The guests are in the
library for a performance.

[WHISPERING]

[INDISTINCT, OVERLAPPING

Thanks.

Hi.

Um... I don't think we've met.

I'm Darby.

You're Rohan, right?

You knew Bill.

- Mm.
- [LU MEI] Darby?

- [ROHAN] Excuse me.
- How are you doing?

Um...

okay.

It feels like such an outrage.

Death... and love, I suppose...

just come and go as they wish

and do what they want with us.

- Yeah. It's sad.
- [LEE] Mei? Yeah, sorry.

Can I borrow Darby for a moment?

- Yes.
- Thank you. Hey.

Did you find anything in the footage?

No.

I don't think you're
telling me the truth.

Yeah? Why is that?

[SCOFFS] Darby, I can
hack the footage myself.

I know. So the question is...

why'd you make me do it for you?

[LEE INHALES]

Does your mouth taste of metal?

Excuse me?

Grief puts a metallic taste
on the back of your tongue.

Um...

no, I-I can't taste anything.

You will.

Did you know that Bill was
around when Lee was in Florida?

He was helping us save
that little old house

in Crystal River from
falling into the swamp.

You must've known him pretty well, then.

No. Met him a few times.

Lee was running a kind
of gutter punk salon

- from out of there.
- [CHUCKLES]

Ziba's ready to start. We
should get everyone seated.

[INDISTINCT, OVERLAPPING CHATTER]

[TOMAS] Let me get you a fresh one.

Oh, thanks. [CHUCKLES]

Shiraz from Iran, courtesy of Ziba.

Kept in its original clay
from the region since 1964.

I'm sorry I crashed into you last night.

- It was my mistake.
- No. No, it wasn't.

Let me know if I can get you anything.

Yeah. Actually...

do you know who ordered that
tea to Room 11 last night?

Was it Bill?

- Enjoy your wine.
- Do you know

how many cups he requested, Tomas?

I have to pour for other guests.

[SIGHS]

[SIAN] Hey.

Are you gonna question me next?

They printed, what,


and you sold, I don't know, 2,000?

Yeah.

Impact isn't just about
having something to say.

It's about having the
power to be listened to

when you say it.

He sees something in you.

That's why he invited you here.

A friendly word of advice, Darby.

Don't bite the hand

that might feed you.

[ZIBA] Hi, everyone. Hello.

It's no secret that I came
to Iceland for Bill Farrah.

I followed his work for so many years.

I admired him.

I...

I didn't agree with
everything he did or said, but

I think he was trying to...

wrestle down the darkness he
felt had devoured the world

and that I can understand.

This song was written in 1900

by a man in prison.

He wrote it so his
spirit could fly free.

May Bill's spirit also fly free.

[DOOR CREAKS OPEN]

[DOOR CREAKS]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[MARIUS] And while we have
successfully helped transfer

Mr. Farrah to Reykjavík,

chances are some journalists
will call, wanting to know more.

Looking for gossip or worse.

Might say they are family
or friends of Mr. Farrah,

members of the diplomatic corps.

In response to any of these calls,

your only answer will be:

[STAFF JOINS IN] "We can
neither confirm nor deny."

[MARIUS] I ask you to remember,

we are not only protecting the
reputation of this new hotel,

we are protecting Mr. Ronson...

I don't want to get you in any trouble.

Ms. Hart. You shouldn't be down here.

But you've got to tell me what you know.

You don't even have to
tell me. Just write it down.

[TOMAS SCOFFS]

Bill was my friend, and
he didn't k*ll himself.

And we both know they're
covering something up here.

Whatever happens here is so secretive,

they want staff who don't talk,

and they're willing to pay well for it.

I was handpicked by Marius,
flown in from Berlin.

Tomas?

I saw him die.

And he was scared.

He was so scared.

Please.

[TOMAS] Three.

What?

You asked how many tea cups.

There were three.

["SILENZIO" BY LE COULEUR
PLAYING ON SPEAKERS]

Ray?

- Ray?
- [RAY] I'm sorry.

The music makes it difficult
for me to pick up your voice.

Oh. Uh, Ray, turn off the music.

- [CHIME]
- [MUSIC STOPS]

Ray, are you boxed in or
do you have Internet access?

I do not have access to the Internet.

The last Web crawl I have
access to is from a week ago.

Um, all right, all right, uh,

let's use that.

Ray, could you do a scan for me

of any of the guests in the retreat

who have any connection to Bill Farrah,

or to the artist FANGS...

starting with Oliver?

Of course.

Would you like to enable projection?

- Um, yeah, enable it.
- [CHIME]

Oliver tweeted, "FANGS isn't an artist.

He's a failed programmer
who wants attention."

[SCOFFS] How did Bill respond?

He retweeted it.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY] All right.

And, um, who else at the retreat
has a connection to Bill Farrah?

On July 4, 2019, Martin liked
a tweet from FANGS that read,

"The eight richest men in the world

hold the same wealth as the


Lu Mei and Bill were on the
same flight from Hong Kong

to Vancouver in December 2018.

How'd you know that?
That's not on Wikipedia.

L2/L3 data.

When you purchase a flight,

the credit card company records

the departure and arrival cities.

What, L2/L3 is public information now?

L2/L3 data is available for purchase.

Who else in the retreat has an
online connection to Bill Farrah?

Lee Anderson Ronson attended

FANG's "Artificial Insanity" exhibit

in Detroit, May 3, 2021.

And Andy Ronson and Bill?

There is no known connection

between Andy and Bill
Farrah besides Lee.

Oh, what about Rohan? What does he do?

A climatologist and
environmental activist.

He was among the first
to ring the alarm bells

as to carbon's role in climate change.

He was arrested in Moscow
and held in a prison camp

for three years under
charges of espionage

in 1987, in connection
with the Chernobyl disaster.

[SCOFFS]

Um... an-and what about
Rohan's connection to Bill?

There is no available information

about Rohan Ravjit after 2006.

And the vessel Last
Chance has no entries

in maritime databases since 2006.

Rohan went off the grid.

It was strange, though,
the way he cried.

It was like he knew Bill...

well.

Um... and Sian?

What's her connection to Andy?

After becoming the first
woman to walk on the moon,

Sian Cruise challenged global leaders

to fund space exploration.

In 2017, she was recruited
by Ronson Industries

to lead their lunar
colonization program.

All right, um... and
what's Oliver's deal?

I know of no deals that
Oliver is negotiating.

[CHUCKLES] Uh, no, as
in, what does Oliver do?

Oliver Marwan was inspired
by a childhood toy robot

that walked like he
did to develop robotics

that break down disabling
barriers in society.

He was admitted to Oxford at 16.

He was the youngest person
to hold the Pirrone-Kim Chair

- in robotics at Harvard.
- Christ.

Is anyone here normal?

No, Darby.

Not even you.

- Ray?

Well, f*ck, I don't know.

Mm. Could happen, could happen.

But this guy is an organized k*ller,

not a disorganized one.

This isn't spur-of-the-moment, it's...

- Yeah.
- You know, it's meditated on.

- Yeah.
- Like, the silver jewelry?

Yeah, it's not a... a souvenir
because he's not keeping it.

He's just passing it from

Hi. Could I come in a minute?

- Um...
- Mommy...

Uh, yeah.

He's always had nightmares, but...

normally, I walk the halls with him,

and eventually, he
falls asleep in my arms.

Past few nights, though, he
hasn't been able to settle.

No, no, I-I get it. Um,
I had nightmares as a kid.

Mind if I let him rest on the sofa?

Sure.

- [LEE] Are you ready?
- [ZOOMER] No.

[ZOOMER WHIMPERS SOFTLY]

Could I put on some

- [ZOOMER] Yeah.

["48 VARIATIONS FOR TWO

Nice.

Look, I know you have
no reason to trust me.

[DARBY SCOFFS]

I might've written some
stuff when I was your age that

you admired, but...

I do trust you.

I want to be helpful,
and I think I can be,

but not if you don't
tell me what you know.

Why didn't you hack the camera yourself?

Having a five-year-old that
isn't sleeping is a full-time job.

Hosting this retreat and
not letting my husband down

is another full-time job.

As much as I'd like to hide in a closet

and hack for a few hours, it's just...

not really possible.

Fair.

I mean, why didn't you
give me the password?

I don't know it.

Come here.

[LEE GASPS]

[DARBY] Yeah.

Does that mask mean anything to you?

I've never seen it.

But I know what it is.

f*ck. Can I fix a drink?

[GLASSES CLINKING]

W-What is it?

Yeah. It's a mask to thwart
AI facial recognition.

Protestors in Hong Kong used them

so the police couldn't identify
them from camera footage.

It means it's someone who knows
the footage is software-monitored.

Well, wh-who could that be?

Me, Andy, Sian,

Marius, Todd, Eva.

I don't know. Probably David.

Okay, so... everyone?

Did you invite Bill here?

My husband did,

but I encouraged Bill to come.

We wanted opposing viewpoints.

Were you having an affair?

No. Honestly, no. Uh...

I met Bill six years ago.

He was one of a few people

who found me.

After you were doxed?

Yeah.

My reputation was destroyed. [CHUCKLES]

There was just fake p*rn
all over the Internet.

It looked so real, I-I
thought it was real.

I-I couldn't open a computer
without having a panic att*ck.

So I basically went back to my parents'

little place in Florida to...

just disappear.

Ordered a lot of pizza.

Tried to stay away from the Internet.

And one day, this guy shows up,

sunburned to a crisp.

Soles of his shoes
worn completely through.

It was Bill.

He said he'd read my manifesto

and wanted to talk about it.

I mean, I was terrified.

I wouldn't let him in the house. I...

He slept on the porch
for a few nights, and...

eventually, we started talking

about... the terrors of technology

and everything we were afraid
of that was coming, and...

He didn't say much
about himself, you know.

He'd clearly been
through something, but...

One morning, I come down
to breakfast, and he's lined

all these Polaroids up
across the kitchen table.

And he starts talking to me about you.

[GRUNTS SOFTLY]

But you never... ?

You were never together? You never... ?

We hooked up once.

We were both wasted.
It was his last night.

I mean, he lost his hard-on.

I was embarrassed. He was embarrassed.

I mean...

Darby, we were meant to be friends.

Okay.

And then you met Andy?

[SMACKS LIPS]

No, Andy and I had been seeing
each other off and on for a while.

And, uh...

then we got pregnant.

And I got married. [CHUCKLES]

[DARBY] Right.

Right, so who here knew
Bill, besides you and me?

[EXHALES SHARPLY] I don't know.

Um... Rohan, I think.

Yeah. Yeah, that would explain

why Rohan was crying in breakfast.

[LEE] I didn't notice.

I know he knows Ziba,

or at least he admired her activism.

Darby, let me hire you...

to find whoever is
hiding behind that mask.

Um, I'm an amateur sleuth.

[LAUGHING] You're
clearly very good at it.

No, as in, uh, I don't
take cases for money.

[SIGHS] You do it for love,

and especially in this case.

I hope you'll be careful, Darby.

If Bill was m*rder*d, it
was very sophisticated.

You have only one real advantage.

No one sees a 24-year-old girl coming?

[CHUCKLING] Yeah.

You're just another
guest in our retreat.

So long as you play the part.

[QUIETLY] Yeah.

Well...

Would it be all right
if I let him sleep?

Sure.

make an animated feature.

Took him seven years, and
then he broke all records.

Years later, when he was in his 50s,

he built all these
train tracks in his home.

People thought he'd lost his mind.

There was this grown man

riding in and out of the
living room on a children's toy.

But he was thinking in three dimensions.

- He was working something out.
- What?

Something that had
never been done before:

A movie in motion in the real world.

A theme park.

Disneyland.

And you feel a kinship with him.

So, I bought Zoomer a couple of hamsters

and I thought they were both male,

but turns out one of them was female.

And he loved watching
the babies be born.

So we started to mate them together.

Study the patterns.

Black hair, brown hair, blue eyes,

recessive traits, dominant traits.

Think we had over 50 at one point.

[ZOOMER] 67.

Lee thought I'd lost my mind.

But you were working something
out in three dimension.

I realized that the way

to leap AI forward was to mate them.

You can do that?

Ray is a combination of my
language processing algorithm

and my home security AI.

Like Disney, you leapt
tech forward through play.

So, after giving it
some serious thought,

I really do think it's
best that you go home.

You're grieving. And to
be perfectly transparent,

interrogating the guests
and my staff is something

I'm just not comfortable with.

I asked them questions
because the police didn't.

How do you know that?

Because I watched Bill die
and no one's asked me anything.

And if they did, what would you say?

That someone came to see him

a few minutes before he d*ed.

I hacked the doorbell cameras.

You think I don't know that?

It's a conference of hackers.

I've seen the footage, too.

I know that someone in a
mask came to Bill's room

at 12:03 a.m., but he'd already
injected himself at that point.

See, we don't have cameras in the room,

but we do monitor heart rates.

And Bill's spiked, as a
result of the morphine,

four minutes and 36 seconds

before the arrival of
the uninvited guest,

and six minutes and 11 seconds

before you turned up at the door.

The reason the police
didn't ask you anything

is because they got
everything they needed to know

from Bill's blood.

The toxicology came in. It's definitive.

He overdosed.

You grew up on crime scenes

and you think this is one too. It's not.

It's the site of a tragedy and
keeping you here is painful.

For you and the others.

No. Sorry, I...

I don't want to go. I...

I want to stay.

Look, I'm okay, honestly. I...

I'm just keeping busy, like you said.

I have to do what's best for everyone.

A car is gonna take you to Reykjavík

and there'll be a first-class seat

on a plane back to the U.S.

What you need, Darby,

is rest.

You're very fragile.

Can I take your ring?

[DOOR CHIMES]

Be good if you started to pack.

... Bill Farrah... [SPEAKING ICELANDIC]

- Ray?
- [CHIME]

Translate this for me.

[RAY] Controversial artist Bill Farrah,

better known as "FANGS,"
has d*ed at the age of 27.

A former computer coder and hacker,

Farrah was seen as a
criminal prankster by many

and as an artist and activist to others.

His first known work as
"FANGS" was a global project

to remove the "S" from Shell
stations around the world,

leaving a scathing critique
and PR nightmare in its wake.

His most recent and acclaimed work,

Artificial Insanity, was staged

in an abandoned auto factory in Detroit

and was deeply critical
of the tech industry.

Icelandic authorities say
Farrah d*ed Monday evening

from a drug overdose.

He was on vacation alone in
the small town of Fellabaer.

He is survived by his
mother, Elizabeth Farrah,

a nurse in Dayton, Ohio.

Mourners from across the
Internet are posting videos

and comments about what
Farrah's art meant to them.

[BIRDS SINGING AND SQUAWKING]

[MARTA] These were my grandmother's.

Is there anything else you remember

about the man who took them from you?

Anything about how he looked or...

Didn't see his face.

It was 16 years ago.

What he smelled like?

Bleach and aftershave.

And his hands?

Um, how did they look

or what did they feel like?

Strong, long fingers.

Gloves.

He was choking me and
his-his face was right there.

I can't call for help or turn,

but I'm holding the keys.

I gouge him in the face.

He cries out, surprised-like.

And I ran from the car to the Wendy's.

[BILL] That was really brave.
Did they tell you that?

- The police?
- Yeah.

No, they said I shouldn't
have been out so late alone.

[BILL] Ah.

All right, we should-we
should get going.

Why y'all doing this?

Well, I-I guess 'cause we're angry.

Yeah.

[CHILDREN LAUGHING OUTSIDE]

When I was the same age as your girls...

I believed that I really mattered.

And then I grew up and realized

that I really didn't.

I guess I just don't want them
to grow up feeling that way.

Wait a sec.

My sister got my car
detailed after the...

You know.

I kept thinking I could smell him.

She found a silver pin in the back seat.

Wasn't mine.

I told the police but
they didn't give a sh*t.

Thank you. This could really
help us name other victims.

Hard to imagine kids like
y'all solving this thing.

Well, we're-we're not alone.
We've-we've got each other

and dozens of others online to help.

[DARBY] You know, this was
probably his previous victim's.

[BILL] Yeah, that's how we're
IDing Jane Does... silver.

Can I show you?

Here, let me take a...

Right. Um...

[BILL MUTTERS]

Just have to wait a few.

[LAUGHING]

- [PHONE CHIMING]
- Oh, here we go.

[BILL MUTTERS]

All right, yeah. L-Lincoln High School,
Wickenberg, Utah. 2000.

[SIGHS]

And I almost didn't open the door.

I thought y'all were
selling magazines or candy.

Don't give up on this, okay?

I'm holding out hope that whoever
did this can never do it again.

[WIND WHISTLING]

- Ray?
- [CHIME]

Will you get me Andy Ronson's email?

I'm sorry, Darby.

The contact info for
guests and hosts is private.

[MARIUS] How may I help you, Ms. Hart?

Can you put me through to Andy Ronson?

I'm sorry, Ms. Hart, that
room is set to private.

Well, can I leave a message?

Certainly.

Tell him I'm keeping my room.

Rohan?

[CLATTERING]

Rohan, I know you're in there.

Whatever happened,

whatever is happening...

I know you loved Bill.

I know you love him still.

I'm here.

To listen.

Darby, snowcat's waiting.

We better get a move on.

Storm is about to hit Reykjavík.

I'll help you with your bags.

[SOFT DINGING]

Give me a minute.

[PHONE RINGING]

Hello?

[CALLER BREATHING HEAVILY]

[ROHAN] I do still love him.

I know, Rohan.

How?

Because I love him still, too.

Oh...

I don't want to talk to
you but I think I have to.

It was me.

I went to his room.

You were the one in the mask?

I didn't want there to be a record,

in case, later on...

We had a plan.

A good one, we thought.

But Bill uncovered a secret.

Something he wouldn't
say over the phone.

When I got to his room, I thought

he had gotten high, wasted.

I got angry, left.

I see now he was drugged.

He never got the chance to tell me,

but I think I know what he uncovered.

What?

Oh, my God!

No pulse.

No breathing.

He's dead.
