''[[Murder Byby Numbers]]'' is a 2002 film starring [[Sandra Bullock]], with Michael Pitt and Ryan Gosling. (Trust me, [[Draco in Leather Pants|everyone only remembers those last two.]]) Det.Detective Cassie Mayweather suspects more at work than an unplanned act of violence when a young woman is found strangled to death in a ditch. Her gut instincts get her in trouble with her supervisors, but they lead her [[Reverse Whodunnit|correctly]] to [[Smug Snake|privileged, smug]] high school student Richard Haywood... and from there to brooding [[Nietzsche Wannabe]] Justin Pendleton. The connection between the two boys is more than imagined, and as their mind games played with the police and with each other grow still more complicated, Cassie attempts to find some way to put an end to their plans.
