The story so far
Everything you need before watchingThe cipher turns murder into collecting slaves in paradise, and the editor laughs that the writer is unhinged. The next letter gives him a name and explains the flashlight taped to the gun. At the lake he ties the couple up, asks for money and car keys, and they keep saying they will do whatever he wants.
