About this episode

Socially awkward George Hennard has been searching all his life for love. But no matter how hard he tries he can't seem to find a girlfriend. After years of rejection, his resentment and hatred of women grows and culminates in the tragic slaughter of a restaurant full of customers. George kills himself as well. His autopsy reveals a ticket stub for the film The Fisher King, tucked into his pants pocket, indicating George's inspiration for this mass shooting came from a twisted misinterpretation of the movie.
