(suspenseful music)

- [Owen] I see you've made progress holed up in your cave.

- Yeah, well, the turnaround for this is unforgiving, so...

here we are.

- Look, I know this project is important,

but I don't see how staring at bodies

and autopsy photos every day

is exactly healthy for you.

- Not my proudest commission, I must admit,

but a gig is a gig.

(Emma breathes deeply)

The fact that my, uh, what did you call it?

Oh, yeah, hobby

has managed to gain me a client of this caliber,

it's kind of impressive, don't you think?

- I'm not trying to belittle your craft.

- Hobby? - Your craft.

Honestly, I find it all kind of morbid and unethical.

But don't you think it's a little,

I don't know, disrespectful to the families.

And what's the point of all this?

- Tell that to Frances Glessner Lee.

- Who? - Obviously, I'd much rather

be doing cute little doll houses

and beautiful scenic oasis,

but, um, the money.

Owen, the money is really good on this one off,

emphasis on one off.

- [Owen] I hope so.

- Okay, um...

(chair thumps)

give me like (sighs) ten minutes, okay?

10 more minutes on this thing,

and I will come and join you for bedtime, okay?

- [Owen] Just don't work too hard. Come to bed soon.
