So instead, Irina approaches her one day and she offers to do some decorating for her.

And Alexandra's like, sure.

So later, Irina goes over to her house and then suddenly, bam, bam, she hits her with a blunt object and then she drowns her in the bathtub.

Then she grabs any money that she can find and she leaves.

Here's the thing, though.

Alexandra was smart.

Earlier that day, she had told her neighbor that a woman she knows named Irina would be coming over to her house to do some decorating.

So when police show up and start questioning everyone in the area, that neighbor ends up giving this information to them.

So now they have a name to match the description of the suspect.

And so they go and they find Irina and bam, they arrest her.

Here's a picture of her in real life.

And so ultimately she confesses to all these murders that she did and she goes to trial and she's found guilty and she's sentenced to only about 20 years in prison.

So this crime TV show host really, really wants his ratings to go up.

So he has people killed so that he can put it on his show.

Now the guy's name is Wallace, and Wallace is 38 when this story starts, and he's living in Brazil.

And Wallace, he's an interesting guy.

He's a former police officer in one of Brazil's most crime-ridden cities, and he's the kind of guy who seems to be obsessed with getting attention and gaining power from it.

So one day in 1996, he gets this idea.

He wants to co-create a TV show called Canal Livre for a local TV station.

And the show, it's kind of gruesome, like it reports on a lot of the crime happening in the city, and it includes raw footage of arrests and big drug busts and dead bodies, while Wallace is back in the studio commenting on all the crimes.
