Episode Title
The Room on Lorimer Street Part 2
Description
In the heart of 1940s Brooklyn, a narrow three story boarding house on Lorimer Street served as a temporary home for men chasing work along the East River. But one room on the second floor carried a reputation no one talked about openly. Tenants came and went too quickly. A few never left at all.
When machinist Harold Givens is found dead behind a locked door, Detective Julian Rourke enters the house expecting a simple poisoning. What he uncovers instead is a pattern stretching back years — unexplained deaths, vanished boarders, a landlady drowning in guilt, and a labyrinth hidden inside the walls where someone has been watching the tenants sleep.
As Rourke pushes deeper into the building’s anatomy, he discovers a predator who has lived inside the structure so long that the line between man and house has begun to blur. In a place built for transients, one resident never left. And he made sure others couldn’t either.
This episode digs into the claustrophobia of urban isolation, the psychology of closed spaces, and the way old buildings absorb the people who inhabit them.
Because tenants forget.
But the walls never do.
