The story so far
Everything you need before watchingThey put the informant's words in front of Allen: the night at the lake, bloody knives in the car, a neighbor dead of a heart attack a week later. He says call him Leigh, not Arthur; the blood was a chicken, and he is not ambidextrous. Asked about school children, he only calls the idea horrible.
