This is Dave Stanberg

Numbers are surging in a recent outbreak.
The CDC still recommending
the public isolate themselves
as much as possible,
avoiding unnecessary social
gatherings or interactions.

[News Anchor] And the
Arlington West Memorial
solemnly reminds us the
visions of peace that
the students at Kent
State (computer beeping)
and Jackson State stood
for (computer beeping)
in being unfulfilled.
Today, we're here to inquire
about the circumstances,
causes and... Alice, stop.
(Kara sighing)
(computer beeping)
[Co-Worker] It doesn't make any sense.
[Co-Worker] There's nothing
wrong with the portal.
This is spirited.
(co-worker coughing)
[Co-Worker] We have to
fill out leave requests
in the portal
and also send them to HR and Patty Chen.
That's asinine.
[Co-Worker] Look, it makes sense to me.
I love using the portal.
[Co-Worker] The portal sucks.
[Co-Worker] It's redundant.
Yeah, they love redundant.
It's their favorite.
[Co-Worker] Why can't the
portal just send it off to HR
and Patty Chen?
[Co-Worker] What if the portal fails?
[Co-Worker] Ah!
Aha!
[Co-Worker] Let's just move on already.
[Co-Worker] Whatever.
If the portal fails,
there are larger problems,
okay? (phone buzzing)
Just have a backup to the
portal and leave us out of it.
Okay, as much as I'd love to talk about
the human resources portal all morning,
we really need to get to work, so.
[Co-Worker] Ah.
- [Co-Worker] Ah.
Yeah, I know, I'm the bad guy.
Okay, so new a slate of projects
was just announced last week,
as we all know,
so we need to push all
existing projects forward.

[Mom] So you're not
concerned about what he did?
Not really.
[Mom] Well, that doesn't make sense.
That's something we agree on, Mom.
Nothing really makes sense right now.
(Mom sighing)
[Mom] Kara.
Mom, I don't know what he's doing.
I don't think he knows, either.
He's just,
he's lost, and that's the way it is.
[Mom] But he just up and left you.
I'm aware of that, Mother.
[Mom] Well, so now what are you gonna do?
I'm gonna keep working
and take care of the house.
[Mom] Kara, I'm just, look,
I want you to be happy,
and I'm trying to understand,
and that's a bad thing, is it?
This is a lot to figure out.
You know, what I think you need is
you either need to talk with him
or just talk to some other person.
You know, you could go online.
I think there's a site called Bump.

[Eyewitness] Everybody
got a dark side, you know?
It's a matter of time before it comes out.
[Journalist] When I started
digging into this story,
I had no idea that five years later,
I'd still be asking questions,
still trying to find the truth.
(sirens wailing)
[Dispatcher] (indistinct) Good for truth.
[Journalist] He insisted he was innocent.
[Criminal] I did nothing wrong.
[Journalist] But even
that seemed like a lie.
[Officer] Now, now, now.
Go, go, go!
[Journalist] I kept digging for answers.
[Eyewitness] He was a good kid.
Everybody loved him.
He enjoyed the beach.
[Eyewitness] He's a r*cist pervert.
[Journalist] That's when
the authorities realized
that this was about more than just cocaine.
[Officer] Drugs and p*rn*graphy.
[Criminal] Choke, choke,
choke, choke, k*ll, k*ll, k*ll!
[Journalist] Dozens of
women strangled, mutilations.
[Victim] No, no, no.
[Criminal] Get that camera outta my face.
[Journalist] I must keep digging
if I'm going to make sense of

the cocaine murders.

[Client] So we took a
look and we love the design,
but some of our staff members found it
hard to sort of navigate the website.
Okay.
What is the average age
of those staff members?
[Client] Well, they're older.
Okay, so is it just a matter
of getting them up to speed?
We'd be happy to do some presentations.
[Roger] This is Roger.
Maybe I should say that
I was one of the ones
who found it hard to navigate,
and I have an idea,
and I think it might be an interesting one.
Are there any websites with
say, like a treasure map on it,
so it can direct you where to go?
So I think that may be more
confusing than it is helpful.
[Client] I think what Roger is suggesting
is just to make things a
little bit easier for people
and also make it creative and fun.
Our demographic is gonna be
people who are a little bit older,
so maybe we need to try
and think outside the-

They will.
You are so tense.
[Friend] What?
No, I'm just trying to make
sure that people show up.
Your virtual karaoke party
will be very well-attended,
I promise you.
It's gonna be great.
Life is great.
[Friend] Should I invite Hot Ronald?
Um, yeah.
What's wrong with Hot Ronald?
[Friend] Well, for
starters, his name is Ronald
(Kara laughing)
and yet, I'm still attracted to him.
Well, I think that says more
about you than it does him.
[Friend] Fine, fine.
He's invited.
But don't flake, or I'll
never speak to you again.
Wow.
[Friend] This is gonna be epic.
Like, more than usual.
It's gonna be great.
You just need to relax.
Breathe.

How may I help you today

Yeah, I was just calling because
I have a charge in my account,
but I closed it back in February.
[Darlene] Do you mind holding, please?
Yeah, I actually do. (phone clicking)

What are you guys up to today?
[Mom] We might go for a walk later,
and then we'll get back
and get the grill going.
Have you heard of sunchokes?
You know, sometimes they're
called Jerusalem artichokes
or Florida chokes,
although I don't know anything about that.
Maybe that's not right.
But you know,
your Father and I found
them at the farmer's market
when we went,
and they're really, really delicious
and he puts them on the grill
and we found this great way to make them.

You guys hear me all right?
You alright?
Welcome, everybody.
Appreciate it so much for coming out.
I see a lot of,
see a lot of familiar names.
Kevin, hi.
Stacy, Robin, Kara, Steve.
Thank you guys so much.
I appreciate it, everybody else.
I really appreciate it.
You guys are the best friends in the world
and you prove it every day.
Yeah, so let's just get started.
This is my new single,
It's called "Orbit,"
and you can get it on my Bandcamp.
It's up there.
It's not on Spotify or
any of those things yet.
It, like, takes forever,
but it's on my Bandcamp.
Yeah, all right, "Orbit."

Regina's roommate came home just in time.
All in all, Regina was struck 23 times.

[Representative] Here's the confusion.
Your account is still open.
No, my account should be closed.
[Representative] The notes on the account
say you still have the equipment.
Yes, I purchased the equipment, I own it.
[Representative] That is correct.
But in order to close your account,
you need to return the equipment.
That's not what you guys told me
when I switched my plan over.
[Representative] Well, listen,
I don't know who you spoke to,
but all customers need
to return the equipment-
- Also-
- [Representative] Before their accounts
- can be closed.
- So, I own the equipment,
but I have to give it back?
So I don't own it?
You guys own it, but I purchased it?
I mean that,
do you hear how that sounds?
[Representative] Okay, look,
that's the policy.
It might be confusing to you,
but that's the way it is...
It's not confusing.
[Roger] As agreed upon... It's nonsense.
[Representative] In the contract
- you signed.
- It's just nonsense.
I just feel like you guys are-
- [Representative] Look, it is what it is.
Even if you purchased it,
it's proprietary equipment,
and it needs to be returned
before any more action
can be taken... Okay, fine.
Where can I drop it off?
All equipment must be sent back to us
per specified in the contract.
This is ridiculous.
[Representative] Listen,
do you want my help or not?
Please.
[Representative] As a one-time courtesy,
we will send you packaging and a label
to the address on file.
Once you receive it,
you will have seven
business days to pack up-

You saw the pictures.
Well, I just, you can't believe
everything you see on the
internet these days, Mom.
[Mom] Dolphins swimming
in the canal is real.
I know it is.
You went to Italy.
It was dirty and now it's clean
because we humans can't go there anymore.
We're the real problem.
People are the problem.
Yeah, I hear you.
I hear what you're saying.
I just, you know, we'll see.
What are you guys up to tonight?
[Mom] Oh, we're going to play
a game online with friends.
It's called Junkbox.
Oh, do you mean Jackbox?
That's fun.
You guys are party animals.
[Mom] Have you played it?
It's a riot.
Yeah, it's really fun.
[Mom] Yeah, I'm gonna beat your Dad.
He's so competitive.
He never wants to be on a team with me.
He wants to be on his own team,
and he always thinks the
games are knowledge-based.
He wants to prove how smart he is,
but this one is more, well,
you have to be more creative.
And I love your Father, but
that's not his strong suit.

f*ck!
[Journalist] Time was running out,
and that's when Roger
called the authorities.
You made several calls
to the Lancaster Police.
Why?
[Roger] Yeah, no one was doing anything.
It was unbelievable
that they weren't taking
this more seriously.
[Journalist] Roger was the squeaky wheel.
But would he get the grease,
or would more bodies turn up?

[Friend] Yeah, they
probably just wanna update you
on the next few months
as this thing drags on.
Yeah, I keep telling myself that,
but it just feels different.
Something else is going on.
[Friend] Oh, f*ck them.
I'm serious.
It's just been a f*cking hamster wheel,
and my reward is a meeting
with the entire HR team.
[Friend] Yeah, I know, but you know,
you don't know what this is.
I'm sure they're talking to everyone.
I just don't know what
they expect me to say.
Like how am I supposed to
explain how this is going?
I'll just make a spreadsheet
and on tab number one,
I'll say the world's a
f*cking dumpster fire.
(friend laughing)
[Friend] Hey, why don't I come over
and we'll hang out in the
front yard and we'll just chill?
No, that's okay.
I thank you, though.
I just wanted to vent, so.
Hey, have you heard that phrase,
"The squeaky wheel gets the grease?"
[Friend] Yeah, sure. (waves crashing)
What does that mean to you?
(gulls cawing)
(waves crashing)
[Friend] It means that someone
speaking up (waves crashing)
will benefit from speaking up.
(waves crashing)
Does it, though? (waves crashing)
[Friend] Oh, okay.
Yeah, I mean, I always thought so.
(gulls cawing)
Or does it mean that the wheel is broken?
[Friend] Isn't that the same thing?
(waves crashing)
I don't think so.
(waves crashing)
[Friend] Is this a riddle?
(coffee maker reverberating)
[Boss] Things are
very unusual these days,
and that's true for
businesses as well as people.
And the company needs
to find a path forward
so that it can stay healthy.
Businesses need to stay healthy
and people need to stay healthy,
and so that's why going forward,
we've adopted this strategic plan,
and in accordance with this strategic plan,
we'll be undergoing a series of furloughs.
Wait, what?
[Boss] Okay, okay, let
me stop you there, Kara.
We'll make sure we get you answers,
but let me cover the basics here.
So in accordance with this strategic plan,
we'll be undergoing a series of furloughs.
I regret to inform you that
you were designated in group A,
which means your furlough
will be effective immediately,
and will follow the guidelines
delineated in the furlough handbook.
You'll receive the handbook via email
following the conclusion of this meeting.
We want you to rest assured
that you are being looked after
now that you are temporarily
on the sidelines,
and moreover,
the company is doing
everything it can to avoid layoffs.
That is not an issue-
- How long will this last?
(boss laughing)
[Boss] All right, Kara,
straight to the point?
Sure.
So we don't know,
and we aren't going to speculate.
What we do know is that we all here
believe in this strategic
plan going forward.
Okay, so any other questions, Kara?
Uh,
no.
I'm, yeah-
- [Boss] Well, if you
do have any questions,
and this is something
we just got approval on,
you will still have
access to the flex portal,
and there you can find a
lot of good information.

always showed up on time.
She was never late.

Christie didn't show up,
Larry started to get worried.
[Larry] I thought maybe
she had a flat tire.
Maybe she forgot her phone.

didn't think m*rder, did you?

[Journalist] To their shock,
he was cleared as a suspect,
but her friends still wondered
if Craig hadn't been
involved with Kaitlyn's death
in some other way.
[Friend] Craig had never
talked about his past.
He was always up to something,
always looking for a get rich quick scheme,
trying to cash in, as he called it.
[Journalist] And one of those schemes
involved Kaitlyn's life insurance policy.

They have a new stove.
It's beautiful.
Everyone is on vacation, I'm telling you.
Everyone is on vacation.
That's what I've noticed.
People go on road trips.
Maybe you guys should go on a road trip.
[Mom] No, no, I like it here.
Every day here is like a vacation.
The weather is beautiful, I love my garden.
This is paradise.
How's work?
Work's fine.
It's just work.
[Mom] You sound sad.
What?
I'm not.
No, I'm not.
I just, you know, there's just
a lot going on, obviously.
[Mom] Well, maybe you
should take a road trip.
No, I don't have time.
Maybe at the end of the year, though.
[Mom] Well, are you sleeping okay?
Yeah.
[Mom] Oh, Kara.
Mom, the world is crazy right now.
[Mom] Okay, well I'm going
to send you a care package.
I've got some really good tea.
It's got magnolia bark in it.
It helps relax you and
it's great for your sleep.
I drink it right before bed, and it works.
It's like a miracle.
It's so good.
Tea doesn't usually make me sleepy,
but you know, we'll see.
[Mom] Well, I found this website
and they have some great info on it.
I'll send it to you.
I'll send you an email, and
then I'll put a link in there
and then you could just
go right to the website.

[Friend] You should come out.
It'll be fun.
No, no, I'm not there yet.
[Friend] You okay?
- I mean.
- Yeah, no, I'm fine.
I'm fine.
I just don't feel like
answering the same questions
over and over again.
You know how that is.
[Friend] Yeah, that's the worst.
What happened?
Please, don't.
(friend chuckling)
Is he gonna be there?
[Friend] He might.
Were are you gonna tell me?
(friend sighing)
Right, okay, cool, fine.
[Friend] Kara.
No, no, it's fine.
I get it, I get it.
[Friend] We don't know what to do.
Just like you don't know
what to do, I don't either.
I know what to do.
[Friend] Okay.
All right.
Yeah.
I just don't really understand
why everyone is acting like this is normal,
like everything's okay.
[Friend] Everyone is
involved with everybody.
We're all friends.
And I'm caught up in that.
A lot of us are.
[Friend] No, that's a cop out.
[Friend] Is it?
- It's a cop out?
- Yes.
Isn't that obvious?
- [Friend] How?
Okay, sure.
What the f*ck ever.
[Friend] Tell me what
I'm supposed to do, Kara.
I can't tell you what to do.
This is your life.
You make your own choices.
I can't tell everyone what they should do.
[Friend] This is why I don't
wanna get into it with you.
You're impossible.
Oh, so it's my fault?
[Friend] Ugh, Kara.
(dramatic music)
All right, Kara-
- No, no, let's just,
let's talk about literally anything else.
[Eyewitness] Yeah, it
was a nightmare scene.
We have a young woman
in the peak of her life,
brutally m*rder*d.
And in addition to that,
she was sexually assaulted.
There were Christmas presents
that presumably she was taking with her
that were on the floor.
That was part of the struggle.
[Journalist] So here
it is, just another day,
early in the morning,
everyone's starting their
day and going to work.
And yet Lori is there,
getting brutally m*rder*d and assaulted.
[Eyewitness] Yeah.
It's hard to believe.

[Representative] I will have to mention
that there may be an
interruption of your service.
There's no service to interrupt.
[Representative] Well,
your account is active,
and to avoid interruption,
you will need to make a payment today.
Please, interrupt my service.
Do it.
Maybe that would actually
accomplish something.
I would love for you to
interrupt my service.
[Representative] Listen,
your account is active,
and you need to make a payment.
Okay, I sent you the equipment,
so this is all on you guys at this point.
[Representative] Okay, well,
if you don't make a payment today,
your account will be
suspended and it will be-
- Noted.

[Journalist] Investigators
were trying to put
the pieces together.
Would an old boyfriend be a vital clue?
[Friend] She told me
things were going to end.
She wanted to get past
this part of her life.
[Journalist] This was a big deal.
[Friend] Yeah, this was a lot to process,
especially for her.
It was weighing on her.
[Journalist] And then a chance encounter
shakes Lori's brother to his core.
You didn't know it,
but you were face to face with the k*ller.
[Brother] I didn't recognize him.

[Friend] Yeah.
Horrible.
We still have to share a bathroom.

[Friend] Which is just beyond awful.
[Kara] Right.
[Friend] And now
they're taking this moment
to redo the kitchen,
and get this,
we get to help.
[Kara] Oh, no, I feel for you guys.
[Friend] Like, I don't know
how much longer I can do this.
[Kara] Yeah.
[Friend] Like, we haven't
had sex in eight months, okay?
It's a lot of cuddling,
which at first was nice 'cause
it was a change of pace.
[Kara] Mm-hmm.

I feel like a life preserver.

that's just kinda like

see if there was an update.
Was he expecting your call?
No, but he told me that
I might need to check in
or I, you know, could
check in on the status.
Can you hold, please?
Sure, I'll hold.
(upbeat elevator music)
[Boss] Hey, Kara, how can I help you?
Hi, yes, I was just calling
to see if there's an update
with the furlough.
Just, you know, checking in on that.
[Boss] I see.
Yeah, well,
we're still trying to determine
the best course of action
and we're in a holding
pattern, just like you.
Just need to hang on
and wait this thing out.
Um, okay.
Do you have any kind of, like, projection
of how long that will be
or any sense of, you know,
how the rest of the year might look?
[Boss] We really don't.
This is an unprecedented time for us.
Can you guess?
(Kara chuckling)
Just, I mean, do you,
I won't quote you on it,
just from person to person,
do you have any kind of
sense of when this will resolve?
[Boss] Listen, I understand.
I do.
And I can assure you
that we are looking at
this from every angle.
We are updating the guidelines every day
with the information.

I'm sorry.
It's just not a good idea.
(mother sniffling)
No, Mom.
[Mom] I know, I know.
Look, I know, I do.
I just, I don't like this.
I get so angry.
I just want everybody to be here,
like it's a normal Thanksgiving.
But I want it to be normal, but it's not.
And it can't be.
I know that.
I know that.
Kara, I just hope you're okay.

- Yeah.

No, my account is closed.
I returned the equipment.
[Representative] According to the notes,

Thank you.

Yes, and?
[Representative] Can you
verify your place of birth?
Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
[Representative] You have
a past due balance of $982.15
plus $1,212 for damaged-
- No, my account is closed.
We've been over this.
[Representative] Would you like me to
look into that for you?
Yes, I would, thank you.
[Representative] Okay, let me see here.
It says in the notes your
equipment was returned
and that it was damaged during shipping,
and it states insufficient packaging.
In your contract, it states
that you were responsible-
- But you provided the packaging.
[Representative] For the safety.
Yes, that is correct, but we
don't guarantee the packaging.
Oh, are you joking?
[Representative] Is there anything else
I can help you with today?
So you don't guarantee the
packaging that you sent me?
[Representative] We
provide the packaging,

We'll sit you at the head of
the table next to your Father.
[Relative] Kara, how's work?
Are they holding you hostage?
Work's fine.
Well, actually, it's great.
I just got this project with
the Chicago Public Library,
so I had this idea and I jumped on it
and it's gonna be a great concept.

come in and I, you know,
I didn't want the ball to drop, so.
[Anne] Stop working.
Well, with all due respect,
you know, I'm not arguing,
but isn't this just work
I should have been doing
before the furlough?
You know, since the timelines have shifted.
[Anne] Kara, stop working.
Stay offline.
We'll get our funding stripped.
You know that.
Kara?
Yeah, yeah.
Understood, got it.
(Anne sighing)
[Anne] Are you doing okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I just, you know, I just-
- [Anne] Kara, stay logged off.
Just hold tight.
We'll get everyone back
working as soon as possible.
That's all I got.
That's all we know right now.
I promise, I'll let you know
as soon as I know, okay?
Okay.
[Anne] Now I have to document this,
and it's going into your file.
If you log in again,
we'll have to take action,
and it's a warning that's gonna go to HR,
and there's going to be
consequences if it happens again.

but when I try to put the words on paper,
they don't ring true.
I realize that I don't know
you well enough to recreate you.

[Doug] This is customer agent 983.
My name's Doug,
and I'm calling on behalf of my
case number, 14965J45PY759.
Is this your case number?
Sure.
[Doug] I'm gonna send
you a verification pin
to the email that
registered to the account.
Just let me know when you get it.
Okay.
[Doug] Did you receive it yet?
You just sent it, Doug.
[Doug] Anything yet?
Do you know how to refresh your browser?
Yes, I know how to refresh my browser.
Okay, it's 75V13A62J.
[Doug] Thank you for that.
Okay, lemme just pull up the notes.
All right, you requested
your account to be closed.
Again, you requested your
account to be closed.
And again, another request.
Two more.
Okay, and now we're in December
and your claim was denied,
and the final judgment
is that you sent back
damaged equipment.
The account is now closed; good news there,
and you owe $2,182.52
for equipment and unpaid services,
which is now past due and
needs to be paid immediately
or it will be sent to collections.
So that's it?
[Doug] Sorry, I don't understand.
I don't either, Doug.
[Doug] Is there anything
else I can help you with today?
You haven't helped me at all.
[Doug] If there's nothing else,
I'm gonna have to disconnect this call.
Can you actually,
can you do me a favor, Doug?
I'll pay the bill.
I don't really care about the bill anymore.
Can you just admit to me
that this is all a f*cking fun house?
I mean, you just send people
out into a blizzard of bullshit
until they're so tired
that they give up, right?
That's the f*cking game.
Can you just admit that to me?
And I'll pay the bill.
I'll pay you all of my money.
Just tell me that.
[Doug] If you want to pay
the balance, you'll have to
- contact billing directly.
- Doug?
[Doug] I can get you that... Come on.
You have to just go to work every day
and sit in front of
your computer and think,
is this the f*cking world
that I wanna live in?
And I understand, okay?
I get it.
You gotta pay the bills, so
you just bury it down deep.
You lock it away
and you don't think about
it ever again, right?
Or,
or,
does it not occur to you?
Do you just stare into
an empty void, dutifully,
all day long,
and then you go home and you
go to bed and then you wake up
and you do it again and then
you go home and you go to bed
and you wake up and time
passes and seasons change
and then you're dead.
Is that it, Doug?
Do you never recognize it?
Do you ignore it,
or is there nothing there?
[Doug] Um, I will disconnect now.
