Weeds are a common annoyance of life in suburbiaand no matter how hard we try to get rid of them, they always tend to crop back up.
Are you seeing this?
I don't believe him. He is so brazen.
He's just mowing the lawn like nothing ever happened. What should we do?
Should we call the police?
Well, Susan did say that he murdered Mrs. Huber, so my vote would be yes.
Oh, my god, Susan's home.
Has she seen Paul yet?
I think so.
Hello, Susan.
Oh, my god. Paul.
Need some help with those bags?
Why...are you doing here?
This is where I live. I came home to find my son. Here you go.
No, don't come near me.
I'm just giving you back your pie filling.
I don't want my pie filling.
Oh, come on. Just take it.
No, stop! Put that pie filling down. Slowly. I'm calling nine-one-one.
You don't want to do that.
Oh, I think I do. You're a cold-blooded murderer.
Susan, how can you believe that? We've been neighbors for years.
Ladies, good to see you.
Paul, we've called the police.
You didn't really need to do that.
We know what you did to Mrs. Huber.
Wonderful. I see you've all turned into Susan while I've been gone.
