She will get introduced out to analyze an unidentified physique, who appears to have been fatally crushed and moved from the place the „Jane Doe“ was really killed.
„Agnes“, absolutely satisfied that is her actual life, is shaken by the deceased’s black-tipped fingers, however cannot fairly piece collectively what all of it means; that’s, till Aubrey Plaza’s Rio Vidal exhibits up.
