As the eldest son of the Durst family of Manhattan real estate giants who own half of Times Square, Bob has the most miserable childhood. Was awakened by his father while asleep, and witnessed his mother jumped off a building to commit suicide. The 7-year-old Bob lived in the shadow that he could not get out of his whole life from the moment he remembered. The irritation brought by death, the indifference of his father and the rejection of his brothers, poor Bob thought It's hard to stay invariable.
Meeting Kathie could have been a turning point in Bob's life. The cheerful Long Island girl, the passionate love and the calm country life, the New York aristocrats after their marriage lived the lives of ordinary people. If the story ends here, it will become a fairy tale happily ever after. It's a pity that life always follows the rules, and the rich always inherit their father's inheritance. When the two got into the Mercedes-Benz back to New York, tragedy was doomed.
Perversion is always perversion, no matter how many psychologists you see.
Kill the dog, kill the wife, kill the friend, and throw the neighbour's corpse into the cold river. Because of the wealth, Bob’s family settled the case of his wife’s disappearance. He has never officially become a suspect in the past 20 years; because of the money, he can invite the two best lawyers in Texas to make the murder and corpse abrupt. Justified defense, "I didn't kill him, I just mutilated him."
Not guilty. Bob couldn't stop the smug smile on his face when he swaggered out of the courtroom.
26 years after his wife's disappearance, the movie "All the Good Things" based on Bob's deeds was released. Perhaps it was Commander High’s cold performance that resonated with Bob, or it was Dunster’s innocent smile that evoked Bob’s memory. The 71-year-old Bob even contacted the film director to be interviewed.
And it was this pick that finally sent him to court again.
At the end of the 6-episode documentary "New York Scourge", Bob, who was caught off guard by the newly presented handwriting evidence, muttered to himself in the bathroom, and even forgot the microphone that had not been turned off.
"What the hell did I do? Killed them all of course."
"Them", is his life's favorite, a close confidant. "Them" was the only beautiful thing in his life.
Perhaps in the depths of Bob's memory, Kathie's simplicity and Susan's straightforwardness are still flashing back, perhaps when he thinks of them, the corners of his mouth will still smile.
It's a pity that tragedy is about destroying beautiful things for people to see, and when Bob watched his mother jump off the roof, God has written the tragic ending for this farce.
