And Durst excuses himself to go to the bathroom. Alone in the bathroom. Still miked. Seemingly unaware that he is still miked. And he's still being recorded. Durst begins talking to himself. He was known to do that since childhood. This was not something new. It's so unsettling, though. The sum of what he says you can't understand. It's unintelligible.

He can very clearly be heard saying, what the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course. And that's where my of course comes from. Every time Ash says of course, I just think of of course. It's just the way he says it. He says, what the hell did I do?

This is similar to the motherfucking sandwich that he didn't need to go steal. Yeah. In the apartment that he didn't need to go back to. Yep. Why the fuck are you saying this out loud to yourself during filming of a fucking documentary?

He literally is compulsive. He is. Like, he has to do these things. It's insane.

It's the same kind of, but he has a pattern of this shit. Yeah, he does. It's a pathology. That he has every reason to not do that thing. Yeah. And that there's no, nothing compelling him to do it. Like, you do not need to do that.

Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Don't say that. To not go to a Wegmans and steal that sandwich, just pay for it. To not go back to that apartment. Yeah. You don't live there. Do not say out loud, I killed them all, of course. And also, how do you defend that? I'm glad he did. Yeah. I'm glad he did. Of course. But I'm just saying, like, whoa. Also, like, how do you get a lawyer after that? Shit.

So this confession shocked all of us. Sure did. In part because just one day before the episode aired, Robert Durst was arrested in connection with Susan Berman's death. Mm-hmm. The arrest seemed to confirm what viewers heard on the tape, that Robert Durst killed Kathy Durst and Susan Berman. However, the timing raised more than a few questions.

More importantly, the interview footage for the series had been recorded over a period of years leading up to the release of the movie, or the series. In that case, Andrew Jurecki and the producers of The Jinx would have known about the confession and had said nothing to investigators.

Yeah. There was also the matter of some evidence that Jarecki had been given by Susan Berman's friend, including a letter to Susan from Durst in which the handwriting appears identical to that of the cadaver letter sent to the police right down to the misspelling of Beverly. So it got a little messy.

Yeah, like this whole thing didn't just make the team behind the jinx look bad. It made them look slightly complicit, which is like not good at all.

Like you can't hold that stuff just to get audience reactions. And you would have gotten it either way. That's what it made it look like. So the truth was a little more complicated, to be fair. Okay, okay. Okay, so they didn't want to fuck anything up. Yes, that is. Which is really bad. Yeah.
