[soft suspenseful music continues]

[Lerner] You all through?

Almost.

Found one more in here.

Bag it up.

[scoffs] You ever seen anything like this?

No.

Not so close to home.

Also, when bagging the last body,

the female?

I found this.

[tense suspenseful music]

Agent Lerner?

It gets weirder.

I think this one left a message written in blood.

I think they were plugged before burning.

Joe.

Joe?

Jovan.

[Moon] Make sure you stay hydrated, Miss Kamen.

Where am I?

[Moon] It’s recommended for someone in your state.

My state?

[gasps] What happened?

I think it’s time you answered my questions.

[Rebecca] Can you tell me what’s going on?

What’s going on?

Dingy decor, me, full uniform, armed,

cheap-ass coffee at four in the fucking morning.

I don’t know, Miss Kamen, maybe it’s a police station.

You looking for these?

We call this the evidence.

We’ll keep the Xanax for now.

Why am I in a police station?

We’ve been through this Miss Kamen,

but somehow I just knew you wouldn’t remember it.

Would you please tell me what happened?

Let’s look, hm?

Two in the morning.

Patrol finds you passed out behind the wheel of your own car

in the center divider, completely out of it.

Let’s just say your toxicology report

did not come back great.

Look, if, if, if there is a fine

or a ticket or something,

I can just-

I think it’s a little bit

more serious than that.

You could do real time for this.

So why don’t you walk me through it.

[dramatic music]

There you go.

Thank you.

[people chattering] [soft upbeat music]

[cell phone rings]

Hey, sorry, am I interrupting the date?

Um, [scoffs] no, uh, not at all, um.

I, uh, I was on my way

and I kind of bee-lined for a bar.

[chuckles] I guess I needed a, a little more alone time.

Alone time?

Your whole life is alone time unless you’re hanging out

with Brandon and me. [Rebecca laughs]

[Moon] So you told me about Sarah James before.

Was she at the bar with you?

No, I was on the phone with her from the bar.

[Moon] You go there often?

I wouldn’t say often.

[Rebecca laughs]

They have a nice wine list.

I bet they do.

You know, in my experience,

I find it’s the winos who get the DUIs.

Do you find that to be true?

I don’t have a history of DUI.

Can I use the restroom?

No.

I really need to.

[tense music]

[Rebecca gasps]

[footsteps tapping]

[tense music continues]

[fist banging]

Miss Kamen?

[Rebecca panting]

[police officer faintly speaking]

[tense music continues]

[Rebecca panting]

[door rattles] [phone ringing]

Hey.

[Tape recoder] Hello.

Glad you’re up and about.

How may I direct your call?

Excuse the, uh, the precinct.

We’re doing major renovations.

Donut?

I aim for variety.

Come on. Don’t be shy.

They’re good.

Thank you.

Mm.

Of course.

Strawberry, huh?

I’m more of a matcha glaze guy.

I love this place.

Hm, Detective Avery.

We met earlier, but you weren’t doing too good.

Hm. [hands slapping]

You ready to talk?

Where’s the other detective?

She’s with a witness that I picked up this morning.

Friend of yours, I believe.

Come on, can leave that here.

[soft foreboding music]

[Interviewee] So do I start talking?

[Moon] Can you state your full name for the record?

[Robert] Robert Edward Audrey.

[Moon] And date of birth, please?

[Robert] That would be April 20th, 1987.

[Moon] Is this sort of what you do, Mr. Audrey?

You take strange women home with you?

[soft upbeat music]

[soft upbeat music continues]

Thank you.

Welcome.

Albert. Who’s the new guy?

I just know he’s drinking bourbon.

Okay, so, so let’s make the next one

a Halitz 18. [clicks tongue]

Got it.

[soft upbeat music continues]

[soft upbeat music continues]

That’s a classy drink.

I’m a, I’m a classy lady. [chuckles]

She was a little older, but I figured, why not?

We got in her car,

went for a little drive.

[ominous music]

[Rebecca panting]

She liked how that went.

She wanted to take me home with her.

She was bombed.

Tried to take her keys from her, but, you know,

can’t tell women nothing.

And that was it. She took off, man.

She took off near the fucking train tracks or whatever.

Train tracks?

Yeah, train tracks.

You know, choo choo? Beep beep?

I don’t know what the fuck else sound they make.

[Moon] Thank you.

[soft tense music]

[door rattles]

I don’t remember any of that.

Hm.

And I-I wasn’t drunk.

It’s not the way Mr. Audrey tells it.

And the bartender did corroborate his story.

You talked to Albert?

Jesus. You know the bartender’s name?

I don’t know this guy.

What if he drugged me?

Wait, he roofied you

so that he could almost get killed in your car?

I’m not sure what happened, okay,

but I feel, I feel fine.

Can I please just pay the ticket and go home?

Detective Moon, you, you didn’t tell her?

I was waiting to see how things developed.

Tell me what?

Pretty nasty damage to the front of your car.

Yeah, there was, there was quite a bit of blood.

Like you hit somebody with your car.

[dramatic music] [tires screeching]

[metal crashing]

[Avery] Miss Kamen? Let’s go.

[suspenseful music]

Renovation crew is using the women’s cell,

so this is all we got.

[Moon] Don’t worry about Sully.

He’s harmless and she’s just a scared rich girl.

Let us know when you’re ready to talk.

[Sarah] Hello?

Hello?

[Rebecca] Sarah?

[Moon] May I help you?

[Sarah] Hi, uh, I had a [speaks faintly].

[Moon] Yeah, I’m Detective Moon.

She, uh, talked[Sully coughing]

Can I see her? I brought her some things.

Of course.

[Avery] You got one minute.

[Rebecca] I don’t understand.

Why are you here?

Listen.

Are you okay?

No.

I may have been involved in an accident.

Where’s Brandon?

[Sarah] He’s with my neighbor.

Detective Moon.

Yeah, it’s my dad. Is he okay?

[dramatic music] [Sully coughing]

Miss James. Thank you for coming.

We’ll be in touch.

Skip breakfast this morning?

[exclaims] Hello?

[Sully grunting and panting]

Hello?

[Sully yelling]

That son of a bitch came to me.

He didn’t know what was up.

[laughing] Oh, that old bastard knows now.

He knows now.

Detective! [Sully yells]

They found somebody.

A cyclist, close to where they found you.

It’s not looking so good.

Do you have anything to say about that?

May I have my pills?

I don’t think so. No.

Hold on to these until you’re a little more cooperative.

Let’s say that I was drugged,

then how can I be held accountable?

You came in and we got a urine sample.

Do you remember that?

No, I don’t remember.

And it was, it was something else.

[clicks tongue] Could it have been?

Oh, Duckhorn Cabernet.

Drank the whole bottle.

Goddamn.

For what you paid for it,

I’d have drank the whole bottle too.

I didn’t, I drank that over the whole night.

Lady!

I was perfectly fine.

Then why is that cyclist’s blood

all over your fucking bumper?

Okay, all right, all right.

All right, let’s.

Okay, look, if you just tell us

everything that happened,

this will go a lot smoother.

[Moon] Hit and run. It’s a light penalty.

It’s light.

Or harsh.

Can be. It’s really up to you.

[tense music]

I have some really, really good news.

So, the adoption is finally official.

Oh my gosh.

That’s, uh, that’s great news.

I’m, I’m really happy for you.

[Avery] Miss Kamen, you okay?

[soft upbeat music]

I tried to take her keys from her, but, you know,

you can’t tell women nothing.

I don’t remember any of that.

I’d like to speak to a lawyer.

45 minutes. [exclaims]

Fuck!

I called it!

Fucker! [Detective Moon laughs]

What are you? A goddamn clairvoyant?

I gave her 15 minutes max.

You know what, she put a valiant effort in though.

Right? Then she had to sweep everything under the rug.

Once you get a lawyer,

for better or for worse, it’s happening.

Isn’t that right, Miss Kamen?

[ominous music]

[Sully slurping]

[Sully sighs]

[door rattles]

Miss Kamen?

Your attorney is here to have a word with you.

Um, this is not my lawyer.

Isaac Barsi with Rosenberg, Swinson and Velasquez.

I came as soon as I could.

Uh, Mrs. Rosenberg had a family vacation on the books

for several months now, she must have mentioned it.

No, she didn’t.

[Isaac] She’s currently in Tokyo with her sister.

Can you call her?

We’ve left word for her to call us back

as soon as she wakes up.

I can assure, you’re in good hands.

[Sully clears throat]

[Sully coughs]

[door rattles]

All right.

I’ve got the photos of the damage done to your car.

No immediate information

on what the cause of it was,

but we’ll get to the bottom of it.

You still don’t remember how this happened?

My client maintains,

she has no memory of the last several hours.

[Moon] That’s a little convenient.

Maybe for you it is.

Gives you a nice blank canvas

for you to paint your own narrative.

Look, we have witnesses.

Who? You mean the guy from the bar?

[scoffs] You think his testimony

would hold up against my client

who is a pillar of this community?

Her record is spotless.

[Moon] She has no record.

All you have is the car,

assuming the blood even matches that of the victim

and that you people haven’t already managed to botch the…

Chain of custody.

Chain of custody on the DNA.

So where is my car right now?

Forensics.

Impound lot.

Forensics is going over it at the impound lot.

Can’t you get forensics to check the DNA?

II could have hit a deer or something.

I was, I was just gonna suggest that.

So shouldn’t you check on it?

Yeah, of, of course, Miss Kamen, um,

I’ll get that all settled.

That all sorted out for you.

Oh, uh, can the girl at the front validate my parking?

I mean, you could just bill me for it.

I’ll walk you out.

[door thuds]

[Detective Moon chuckles]

Can I please stay here at this time?

Oh, you’ll be all right.

Look, if Sully starts spouting out limericks,

give me a holler then.

That means his blood’s about to boil.

[Sully] Bloody hell, can’t come up this way.

Closer, a little bit. [laughs]

Officer.

Ain’t no cops around.

You gotta let me outta here.

I don’t see this.

This guy’s insane.

Sit down.

Listen to him.

You y’all can step up this way.

Listen to him.

Hey, be real careful!

He doesn’t even say real words.

Be real careful of them wires and them towers.

I got parents.

Ain’t no cops around.

I don’t care.

Rich ones,

with real lawyers, and they’ll sue you.

[Moon] [laughs] Really?

Sully!

There once was a fisherman named Fisher.

Sully, no!

[Sully yelling] [dramatic music]

Sully! What the?

[Sully yelling] [Moon shrieking]

[Sully and Moon grunting]

[dramatic music continues]

[Moon gasping] Gun!

Shoot him!

Shoot!

[Moon groaning]

[dramatic music continues]

Shoot, shoot!

Shoot him!

[gun bangs] [Sully yells]

[Sully groaning]

[Rebecca gasping]

Lisa!

Lisa!

[gun clatters]

You okay? You okay?

[Moon panting] Stay.

Breathe. Breathe.

It’s okay. It’s okay.

[Moon coughs]

Come on. Come on, come on!

Stay with me. Stay with me.

[Rebecca panting]

I gotta call this in.

I was trying to help.

You shot a fucking cop!

I didn’t mean to.

I don’t wanna hear your mouth right now.

Okay, it was your partner, she-

Don’t you dare talk about Detective Moon.

He was strangling her.

Listen.

Okay,

and he was going crazy, I didn’t.

I don’t wanna know your thoughts.

I want you to sit down and shut up.

[Rebecca panting]

[police radio faintly chattering]

[footsteps tapping]

[Rebecca] I’m not gonna get blamed for this! [sobs]

[Rebecca gasping]

What’d you say?

I’m gonna get blamed for this. [sobbing]

You’re worried about getting blamed?

You just shot a fucking cop.

A human being.

That’s mandatory life in prison without parole.

That’s what you need to worry about.

$1 million.

[suspenseful music]

What?

To make all this go away.

I must look stupid to you or something, huh?

I’m supposed to believe

that you are sitting on that kind of cash.

I’ll transfer it to you right now.

I’ll just disappear.

[suspenseful music continues]

Hm.

You’re a piece of work.

1.2!

That’s gotta be more than 10 times you make in a year.

[suspenseful music continues]

[phone ringing]

[door thuds]

Two million.

1.5.

That is all I have, hand to God.

[Avery sighs]

You must have some nasty shit in that closet, lady.

[police radio faintly chattering]

You got one minute.

Log into your account. I’ll be right back.

[Rebecca sighs]

[phone ringing]

[Tape recorder] Hello? This is Tiffany.

Just one moment, please.

[police radio faintly chattering]

[soft suspenseful music]

[soft suspenseful music continues]

[police radio faintly chattering]

[phone ringing]

[Tape recorder] Hello. This is Tiffany.

How may I direct your call?

[Rebecca gasps]

[door thuds]

Miss, Miss Kamen.

What, what, what are you doing here?

I actually just spoke to the lab

regarding the test results on the car and-

[Avery] Mr. Barsi.

I just need to speak to my client

regarding the test results.

What are you doing at my desk?

Huh?

I just need to speak to her regarding-

You need to leave.

And I-

You need to go?

No, I-I’m her attorney.

You need to go.

No, no.

Let’s go.

Okay.

[fist banging]

Miss Kamen!

[Rebecca panting]

[police radio faintly chattering]

Apologize for the outburst.

It’s just attorney-client meetings

need to be approved in advance before.

What the hell are you doing?

It took me a minute to see it.

See what? What, we had a deal.

I don’t deal with bullshit artists.

Okay, look,

I didn’t think you could make a worse mistake

than what you’ve already done,

but pulling a gun out on a cop, that’s worse.

It would be if you were a cop.

Counselor.

Your client is making a big mistake.

I think you need to step in and counsel her.

Uh, Miss Kamen, as your attorney,

I strongly advise you to surrender.

This is fake.

The bathrooms, the phones,

even the badges are fake.

Look.

Prop Department.

Miss Kamen,

this used to be the Property Crimes Division.

We’re under renovations, I told you.

You let me go and nobody gets hurt.

I’m sorry Miss Kamen, but I can’t do that.

Miss Kamen, I-I’ve known Detective Avery

for a long time.

He can be trusted.

Please, please, just put the gun down.

So your friend Sarah, she’s in on it too?

Your attorney?

[gun banging]

[Rebecca exclaims] Miss Kamen.

[Rebecca yells] No, no, wait! No, no, no!

[body thuds] Shit.

I don’t know what you were thinking.

[Robert] What do you mean? She made you.

She figured it out.

I would’ve recovered from this.

I do this for a living, I…

I’m, look, I’m so.

Fuck.

She’ll be up soon.

[Jess] Then we go to work, baby.

Yeah, we do.

[Woman] Anything?

[Jess] Still out.

[tense music]

[sighs] Look, I’m sorry, man.

I thought I was being proactive.

I mean, like, what if she had the gun with the real rounds?

What the fuck are you doing pointing that thing at me?

Sorry.

Where did we discuss the live gun would be?

In the, in the, in the…

Locked up in the desk, right?

Where was the gun?

Locked in the, in the-

Exactly.

We’re professionals.

Mm-hmm.

Let’s act like it.

I’m sorry, I-I forgot.

All right, folks, we got three hours

to get this whole thing done, okay?

So we gotta chop chop.

Let’s get this thing going.

And keep that motherfucker away from me.

He’s lucky I didn’t bash his fucking head in.

He was walking around here

like he was on a goddamn coffee break.

I talked to Isaac. It’s all good.

[Avery] Well, you brought him in.

So he’s your responsibility.

He came through when it mattered.

You did good for your first sham.

All right, love birds.

We’re going to plan B.

Plan B?

Plan B, baby.

That’s you and me.

[lips smacking]

All right, kid, get me some coffee.

[Robert] Ready for a little Q&A, huh?

All right.

[Sully] Let’s go.

[Jess] What’s he doing, baby?

Our time, baby.

Woo.

Let’s go.

Oh, and Sully.

[Jess giggles] [Sully clears throat]

Start off slow.

Work your way up to the rough stuff, okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We got this.

Okay?

[Sully muttering]

Robert, go grab her

and bring her in the interrogation room.

[sighs] Oh, Jesus.

[chain clattering]

You okay, baby?

Yeah.

Coffee’s actually cutting the Jones,

but my hands are fucking dancing.

Who are you?

A friend of Louis Denton’s.

Nah, fuck that.

He was more like my brother.

We were a couple of foster system rejects.

We grew up.

He started his business and I started mine.

I don’t know who you think I am.

I know.

You’re the consultant, right?

The consultant.

He told me about all those late night meetings

you guys used to have in his office.

On top of his desk.

[hands slapping] [Avery moaning]

All night.

He also told me about that, uh.

What is it? A birthmark?

Oh, it’s, um, it’s like a, like a fancy goose.

Ah. A fancy goose.

May I?

I just. I wanna see it.

[tense music]

Hm.

[tense music continues]

Mm. [chuckles]

Oh, there it is.

Oh. Oh.

[Avery scoffs]

That’s fancy.

That’s fancy.

Let’s cut the bullshit.

No more early retirement.

Okay.

Yeah, I knew him.

We’ve established that.

I didn’t know he was married.

And I’m sorry for what happened to him.

Did you kill him?

I mean, not that it matters at this point,

but I’d like to know.

No.

I didn’t kill him.

I loved him.

Maybe you did.

But Louis is dead.

You got all his money and you ran away.

[tense music continues]

What are you saying?

That’s not. No.

[dramatic music]

It’s your fault

that Denton is dead.

[tense music]

Okay.

One night he showed up on my doorstep,

freaking out.

He was sure someone was after him.

He gave me the key to a storage locker

that was full of cash.

Next day. Dead.

He said he got conned by someone close to him.

Someone who doesn’t like loose ends.

[Avery panting]

[soft tense music]

[soft tense music continues]

No more stalling.

Log into your account

and transfer our money.

Your revenge story doesn’t split too well

between six people now, does it?

Maybe not, but eight mil will.

Eight million?

[scoffs] You think if I had eight million

that I’d be in Gaithersburg?

I know every penny Denton had in his account

the day he died.

And I don’t have it.

The storage had two million cash.

What I offered you is all I have left.

The rest, I don’t know, maybe someone else took it,

or maybe it burned up in the fire.

A fire? What fire?

Denton died in a fire in his office.

Not just Denton.

His staff.

They also burned alive.

It was horrible.

Hang on a second.

You’re saying Denton got conned by someone

who doesn’t leave loose ends and-

And he died in a fire.

Doesn’t this sound like that guy?

Jovan?

Did you know Jovan was involved in this?

I swear to Christ, if you got Jess entangled

with that devil, I will fucking end you.

All right, all right, easy.

Everybody just relax.

Okay?

Can someone please tell me who he is?

The ultimate sham.

I hear one time somewhere in South America,

Jovan talked some guy into buying the moon for him.

Like, like the actual moon.

It was South Africa, Johannesburg.

He burns everything to the ground.

Anyone who sees his face, marks and shams alike,

nobody lives to tell the tale.

And yet the tale somehow gets told.

Jesus Christ, you fucking amateurs!

Amateurs?

So you haven’t worked together before?

Uh, this is actually my first time working.

This is, this is my first job.

Oh, for Christ.

Uh, ever.

‘Cause. Sorry.

You seem to know a lot about Denton’s business.

I already told you,

we grew up together.

It’s not like any of them would know

you’re lying about that though, right?

How do they know that you’re not?

What’s his name?

Uh, it’s Jovan.

Jovan.

How do they know you are not Jovan?

You’re saying, wait, what are you saying?

She ain’t saying shit.

She’s just stalling.

Because she knows that if she logs into that account,

we’re gonna see that she has $8 million.

Our $8 million.

Louis’s.

You’re not about to

fuck me on this table like you did my brother.

Sully.

Yeah?

It’s time.

And there was a great rejoicing.

[Jess giggles]

[chair scrapes]

[pouch rustles]

[sighs] Let’s see.

How about this old bad boy?

You know where we’re going with this, right?

[Sully chuckles]

[scalpel clatters]

You all right?

Motherfucker.

I’m just a little world weary, bro.

You know what I’m saying?

I’m fucking feeling it.

Come here.

Here.

[Sully sighs] Go outside.

Get right, come back when you’re ready.

Let’s go, baby.

Hey, it ain’t that biker smack you used to.

Be careful with it.

That’s fucking music to my ears.

[door thuds]

All right.

You two, come with me.

Keep your eyes on her.

What if she’s telling the truth and it’s only 1.5?

You gonna turn your nose up to 250 K?

Anyway, get plan B ready.

Why? What about Sully?

Hey, boss.

Can I talk to you for a second?

[Avery] What’s up? Let’s go in here.

All right, lover boy, spit it out.

[Robert] She trusts me, right?

[door thuds]

[Robert and Avery chattering indistinctly]

[Isaac] It’s getting intense in there.

I wasn’t prepared for this.

My dad would say that experience is the best teacher.

How’s he doing, by the way?

He asked about you.

Yeah, I was meaning to visit.

It’s okay.

But the thing is.

I know, somebody raises you,

it’s hard to see them like that.

It’s hard for me too.

Do you think I have what it takes to do this?

Isaac, I don’t know if anyone knows

what it takes to be a sham.

They just do it.

[sighs] All right, look.

I know what you think of me.

All right? I get it.

People will always underestimate me.

They always have.

But I’m more than just a big dick in a little town.

Just some body for hire.

No, I got smarts.

I got, I got, I got big city smarts.

Okay. Okay, all right, all right.

Everyone has a talent, Robert.

I’m sure you’re very talented in a lot of different ways.

Thanks.

But being a sham,

is just not one of ’em.

You’re a, you’re, you’re a street hustler, man.

Look at you.

I can see you coming a mile away.

You’re too obvious.

Okay.

But maybe it’s so obvious

that she won’t even see it coming.

Right? You know, like a, like a, like a double negative.

That’s not what that means.

[Robert sighs]

Look boss, people like me.

I don’t know why, but they do.

You’re right.

You’re right. [sighs]

Use these, but don’t fuck it up.

Not fucking this up.

All right.

[door thuds]

Hi.

Uh, all right, I-II’m, I’m really sorry

everything went, um…

It was supposed to be easier. [laughs]

You call drugging and raping someone easy.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, uh…

[clears throat] Nothing happened, you know?

Uh, I mean, we, we, we made out a little bit,

and that was really, really nice.

But no, no, uh,

I didn’t give you the roofies until after,

and you passed out, and I drove you right here, so.

And chained me to a table.

Yeah. Uh.

They, they, they just want the money.

They? Aren’t you one of them?

No, [scoffs] I mean, you know,

II-I wanted to be prime.

I wanted to be, I don’t know.

It’s like Avery just brought me in to be a pretty face.

And that’s it.

He works alone.

But I thought I did a good job, right?

I mean, I did good.

I mean, you believe me.

What do you want, a Daytime Emmy?

[Robert scoffs]

I don’t know.

When I saw you at the bar, I, I liked you.

I mean, didn’t you like me?

Yeah, I liked you.

[pill bottle clatters]

[soft ominous music]

Hey, that guy, Avery…

Whoever he really is…

You can’t trust him.

Look, I-I really don’t think

he’s that Jovan guy.

How do you know?

I mean, if you

so much as let me go to the bathroom,

he’ll probably kill you.

[tense music]

Okay, well, if I can get him

to let us go to the bathroom,

and we both live,

will that put your mind at ease?

I think so.

And I really, I really need to go.

[laughs] Yeah, no, no, okay, all right.

Um, just, absolutely, um.

[clears throat] Just, uh, wait right here.

I mean, you know, I-I’m, I’m sorry.

I know, you know what I mean.

Okay.

[door thuds]

[soft suspenseful music]

[door rattles]

How’s it going?

[sighs] I’m ready to reach her.

This could really get her to trust you.

Look, all I need is the keys to let her out.

Just maybe, maybe the gun or something so I can.

You are outta your mind.

[Robert] Dude, I-I, boss.

She’s gotta pee. So just the keys.

[Avery] Here.

Just keep an eye on her, all right?

[Robert] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely.

[Avery] And hey, no fuck ups.

I got it. [sighs]

[Robert whistles]

[suspenseful music]

[Rebecca coughing]

You okay?

Hey, you all right?

You okay?

Oh, shoot.

[Rebecca continues coughing]

Here.

Thank you.

Yeah. [clears throat]

[tense suspenseful music]

[tense suspenseful music continues]

[tense suspenseful music continues]

What the fuck?

What the hell are you doing, man?

Come on, get down.

Fuck, come on.

Get off of me.

Whoa, whoa.

Turn around.

Fuck, against the wall, or what?

I said turn around.

Okay.

Open the door.

All right, all right, all right.

Fuck it, I can’t believe this shit, man.

I can’t fucking believe this.

[Rebecca] Be quiet.

Dude, I fucked this up so bad.

Boss! Somebody help!

I told you to be quiet.

What the fuck is going on?

Hey! Stop right there.

Fuck you think you’re going?

I walk outta here or he dies.

I’m sorry, man. She fucking betrayed me.

I don’t give a fuck about him.

[suspenseful music]

[gun bangs] [Robert yells]

Hands up.

I said, “Hands where I can see ’em.”

[Robert groans]

Fuck!

[grunts] Can’t believe you fucking shot me.

Went in and out. You’re fine.

I’m fucking bleeding, man.

Let’s go.

[Robert groans]

Keep walking.

Go stitch yourself up.

I can’t even walk, you fucking dick! [groans]

[Robert moaning]

Put ’em on.

[handcuffs rattle]

Okay.

[Robert] He fucking shot me!

[Avery] Now, stay your ass there.

[Robert yells]

[Robert] Fuck! [groans]

[Sully] What the hell happened here?

Holy fuck.

Rebecca tried to get away.

So you shot him?

Yeah, he’ll be fine.

All evidence to the contrary.

He needs a hospital.

No, no way. Too much heat.

No, I know, but what should we do?

Maybe we could drop him and run.

Okay, we got an hour and a half

to get this goddamn thing done, or this is over.

[stammering] But, but, but he’ll die.

I don’t wanna die.

Then he dies.

I don’t wanna fucking die.

No way.

Let’s go, let’s go!

Sit the fuck down.

Hey!

Whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa.

Get off me!

Easy, easy. Easy

I get, I get this is personal,

but it’s not worth it.

Give me a knife.

The fuck it isn’t.

Help me.

Please, please.

[Robert groaning]

Will someone please-

[Moon] I can’t just stand here while…

[Avery] Well, now help him out Sully.

I got you, bro.

Yeah, bro, thank you.

Here we go.

Thanks, man.

Let me just…

What the fuck?

Woo, woo, woo, what the fuck man?

What the fuck?

No, no, no. [Jess sobs]

No, no, no, no.

[Robert groaning]

[dramatic music]

[Robert continues groaning]

[dramatic music continues]

I’ll get a coffee.

[Avery] Stick him in a holding cell.

Clean this shit up.

[dramatic music continues]

[dramatic music continues]

[watch ticking]

[door creaks] [footsteps tapping]

[door thuds]

Is he gonna be okay?

Don’t act like you fucking give a shit.

You used him as a human shield.

Is that why you shot him?

[Isaac retches]

[Sully laughs]

No one lives to tell the story.

Don’t push me.

So you’re gonna pick them off one-by-one.

Is that your plan?

[Avery and Rebecca grunt]

Geez. Listen, this is crazy, all right.

Avery is not Jovan.

How do you know?

How do I know about anything?

If I’m looking at a psychopath,

I might as well be looking at your boyfriend.

You’re suggesting I’m Jovan?

Look, he’s not Jovan.

I’m not Jovan. Nobody’s Jovan.

It’s fictional. Okay?

It’s not fictional. Avery.

I think my father met him.

I don’t know, maybe 10, 15 years ago.

Well, that doesn’t prove it’s not Avery.

You know what?

She did not speak her meaning?

Sully, if she says one more thing, brother.

You do to her what you’re gonna do to the rest of us.

I’ve had enough of your shit!

Back off. Back off, man.

What do you, you need to keep me from my expert doings here?

Come on.

We had an agreement, right?

Five happy minutes.

She’ll tell us all we wanna know,

or we see what her insides look like.

Boom. Done.

[Avery] Go ahead.

So what’s it gonna be?

Truth or dare?

[Jess giggles]

I know, that’s the fuzzy part.

[suspenseful music]

[Sully grunts]

You okay?

Fuck!

What? What’s wrong?

What’s wrong?

What the fuck?

Help?

[Sully groans] What the?

Do something!

I don’t know what’s wrong?

Help him! [shrieks]

Avery, Sully needs help!

Breathe! Breathe!

Help!

[Moon] Sully!

[Jess] Breathe, breathe!

Breathe in for me.

[Jess whimpering] [dramatic music]

Sully! Sully!

Sully!

[Avery, Moon and Isaac groaning]

[Avery] All right, we’re fine, guys.

Everything’s going fine.

[Isaac] Are we fine?

He’s dead. Like what happened in there?

[Avery] Doesn’t matter.

All right, hold on.

It matters to Robert and Sullivan.

Let me tell you something.

As much shit as this bitch is putting us through,

I’m gonna make that bitch pay.

How?

Jess.

She’s just as fucked up as this motherfucker was.

I don’t like to work bloody, but guess what?

I’ll make an exception for her.

Come on, let’s put him in a holding cell with Robert.

[Moon] One, two, three.

[all three groaning]

[Jess sobbing]

You really loved him?

You know the Pace?

[Rebecca] Like a cult?

[sobs] No.

Like the biker gang.

God.

Like, gimme a little smack, I’d do whatever, right?

One night there was a poker game.

Sully went all-in against this Puerto Rican

I was riding with.

All-in meant me too.

Sully won me with a pair of sixes.

Best night of my life.

He took care of me.

Treat me right.

[somber music] [door rattles]

You’ve been promoted. You up for it?

[Jess] Sure.

Good.

Make it quick.

Unless Rebecca had a change of heart.

I can’t watch this.

Yes, you can. Hold her down.

This is for Sully.

[Rebecca gasps]

[suspenseful music]

[Rebecca yells]

Ah!

[pants] If you ask me, Avery did you a favor

when he spiked Sully’s drugs.

[Jess yelling] [Rebecca yelling]

Get the fuck outta here!

Get her outta here!

Let me go!

What the fuck is wrong with you?

You wanna fuck up our payday?

Get her the fuck outta here!

[Jess screaming]

Jesus Christ.

She’s mad!

[dramatic music]

Take the cuffs off.

Move the table.

Just move the table.

[Rebecca whimpering]

[Rebecca gasping]

Trying to take the easy way out, huh?

I was hoping she’d turn on you

since you killed Sully.

If you had anything to do with Sully,

I’ll fucking kill you!

Told him it was pure.

Calm down.

He just took too much.

[Moon] Jess, please.

You…

[Moon] Please calm down.

Hm.

[Rebecca whimpering]

Everybody out.

Grab your stuff.

[tense music]

[tense music continues]

[light switch clicks]

[Rebecca moaning]

[phone ringing]

We need to talk.

[Moon sighs]

Hello?

Okay, look.

How may I direct your call?

I know that what you must be going through right now

must be tough.

I liked Sully too.

I think it’s only fair

that if you help us finish this,

that you’ll get a piece of his cut too.

Can you do this?

[police radio faintly chattering]

[knuckles rapping on door]

[suspenseful music]

[knuckles rapping] Shh.

[phone ringing]

Anyone there?

[Tape recorder] Hello? This is Tiffany.

[recorder clicks]

[door rattles]

[Avery speaking faintly]

[Avery] A little early.

Yeah, yeah. Text me before you start.

[door thuds]

All right.

What’s next?

We got an hour before they start demolition.

[Moon] Mm-hmm.

You need to take a few minutes? Go ahead.

[door thuds]

I got another job for you right now.

[soft tense music]

[soft tense music continues]

[light switch clicks]

You must be pleased with yourself.

I didn’t want anyone to die.

[Avery] Neither did I.

You don’t seem to care.

Don’t lecture me.

Collaterals happen every sham.

Right.

I mean, I’m not a scam artist,

but I know how to read people.

Is that how you pulled the wool over Denton’s eyes?

Hmm?

Or is that thing between your legs

just that fucking special?

[laughs] I already told you I loved him.

Yeah. And now he’s dead.

And you got a shit ton of money that you didn’t earn.

His wife earned it.

I sure as hell earned it.

Yeah,

when you burned him alive.

Fuck you!

Look, you can deflect all you want,

but I promise you I’m gonna get what I’m after.

[footsteps thudding] [knuckles rapping]

[suspenseful music]

[Sarah moans]

So when I found you,

I went into this little standard recon,

nothing special.

And I found out that you’re leaving town,

which confused me.

I mean, here you are,

all this money you have now.

You got a great friend here.

I mean, look at her.

[Sarah moaning]

It’s your buddy.

You got a little newborn, right?

It’s cute, isn’t it?

You guys look, dare I say, like a family?

It’s your baby, right? Yeah.

[Sarah whimpering]

And I’m like, “We need to talk to Sarah.”

Find out what the hell’s going on here.

And so we did, right?

So we talked to her.

We even had an agreement, didn’t we?

An agreement that when it was your time to play,

you chose to get cold feet.

[Sarah screams] Hey, I don’t like that shit.

What the fuck is wrong with her?

What is she saying?

[Sarah sobbing]

You read people, right?

What do you read in her?

[Sarah whimpering]

I don’t know.

Fear?

It’s not like we’re close.

What?

We tried to bribe her.

She said no.

She said she was your friend.

[tense music]

I guess good friends still exist, right?

Praise the Lord.

[Moon] To get her to play along,

we had to motivate her properly.

[Sarah mumbling]

[tense music continues]

[soft somber music]

Someone bumped him.

[soft tense music]

[plastic rustling]

[Sarah mumbling]

[Sarah sobbing]

Where is he?

[Avery] Let’s stay focused on Sarah.

[Sarah mumbling]

Why?

She’s just a lonely single mother

I drink wine with on occasion.

Just leave her alone, okay?

I barely know her.

Leave her alone.

She’s nothing to do with this.

I barely, barely know her.

We’ve wasted enough time.

You gonna transfer the money so she can live?

[Sarah moans]

I don’t have the eight million.

[gun bangs] [Sarah screaming]

[Sarah panting and moaning]

There you go. There you go.

[Rebecca gasps]

It’s okay, it’s okay.

[dramatic music] [Sarah moaning]

It’s all right.

[suspenseful music]

Well?

What the fuck? What the fuck are you doing?

The fuck are you doing?

What the fuck is this?

Are you crazy?

This is not what I fucking signed up for.

[Avery] Turn it down.

All right, listen to me, all right?

It’s not what we fucking thought, all right?

Look at that. Look at Tintin.

Look at this kid. Look at the skin tone.

Look at the fucking hair.

Sarah adopted this kid.

This is not fucking Sarah’s kid.

This is Rebecca’s kid. He’s a year old.

Denton died, what, 21 months ago?

Just look at him.

[suspenseful music]

Isn’t that right, Rebecca?

A little souvenir from your time with Denton.

My guess is that she abandoned Brandon.

Sorry, I actually, I see you here every single day.

I’m Sarah.

Rebecca.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

You too.

What? You got seller’s remorse?

I totally assumed that you were

a mom watching her kid here.

No, I-I don’t have kids.

Is that why you’re back, befriending Sarah?

Checking in on your baby.

II just adopted him, so it’s in the process.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

So we’re kind of new to each other as well.

[Rebecca] Yeah. Well, he’s beautiful.

I mean, why else would she be back

in this town of all places?

What’s his name?

His name’s Brandon.

Brandon. Hi, Brandon.

[Sarah] Brandon, did you make a friend at the park?

It’s okay.

It’s pathetic.

[gentle dramatic music]

Come on, I got you. Come on, I got you.

[Sarah moaning]

Okay, here we go.

Come on, it’s okay.

It’s okay.

[dramatic music]

[Sarah groaning]

[suspenseful music]

[Sarah panting]

[Sarah yelling]

[Isaac] Almost.

Okay.

[Sarah groaning]

Okay, just stay here.

We’re almost done.

[Isaac] It’s okay.

[baby chortling]

Good catch in there with the baby, Moon.

Your dad would be proud.

[Moon] Thank you, um.

But.

Oops.

That was the second time you questioned me

in front of someone.

Don’t let there be a third, okay?

Mm.

Good.

Let’s see what we got here.

Look at you.

Whoosh-up little man.

You’re not gonna hurt him?

He’s just a little baby.

What did we just say?

Listen, I’m not gonna do anything to this kid

that she doesn’t force me to do.

You understand me?

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Whoosh-up little man.

Hi.

It’s cool.

Hi.

It’s cool.

There you go.

You need this to happen

more than anybody else in here, okay?

Your father’s chemo ain’t cheap.

Remember that?

I hired you to be a professional.

So act like one, please.

Look, all you have to do

is just follow my lead, that’s it.

Don’t question anything.

Don’t get in your head, don’t.

Just follow what I do

and we’ll be out of this in no time.

Okay?

Mm-hmm.

All right?

Okay.

Okay.

Come here.

I’m sorry for yelling at you.

It’s okay, it’s all right.

Yes. Mm-hmm, mm.

All right. Okay, little man.

Almost there.

You’re gonna help us get our money.

Yes, you are. Yes you are.

He’s cute.

[Sarah screaming]

Just stay quiet, please. Okay?

Okay. Just, just relax!

Okay? Just stay quiet.

He’s killing us.

Just like she said.

Sully told me all about Jovan.

He and his partner went into the Chicago diamond district

with a pocket full of broken glass,

walked out with half a mil.

Partner got greedy,

put a bullet in Jovan and hit the road.

Jovan killed him, killed his wife,

killed his whole family, killed his parrot.

His fucking parrot.

No fire, but still everyone knows it was him.

Okay, what, what are you talking about?

So what?

So if there’s even a chance that Avery could be him,

we got to move on him first, or we’re both dead!

Okay, you’re sure about this?

If you’re too much of a pussy, just gimme the gun.

Otherwise go take[groans]

[Isaac grunts]

[head thuds and cracks]

[suspenseful dramatic music]

[suspenseful dramatic music continues]

[door thuds]

[baby chortling]

[baby crying]

You know,

Denton was [sniffs] the closest thing

to family I ever had.

When I lost him,

when he was murdered,

a piece of me was murdered too.

Looking into this baby’s eyes,

I see him.

I see Denton,

and I’m his uncle, [sighs]

and, and I feel like I got family again.

[baby crying]

Do you think maybe,

since you don’t wanna give the money up,

you think maybe I could just,

just keep the baby instead?

Please.

No?

[baby crying]

Fuck it! [gun bangs]

[Rebecca screaming] [intense dramatic music]

[Rebecca gasping]

[Rebecca sobbing]

[Rebecca screaming]

[yells] What do you want?

What do you want? [sobs]

Doesn’t feel good, does it?

[Rebecca panting] [suspenseful music]

[sighs] We can do this all fucking day.

Or we can end this now.

You decide.

Yes. [whimpering]

Moon!

[door rattles]

There he is.

Come to Uncle Avery.

That’s right. Yes.

Yes, yes.

Yes, yeah, yeah.

That’s right. It’s okay.

She’ll be fine. She’s okay.

[sobs] Please.

Good boy.

That’s right.

Reunited. Like a family.

I’ll be outside.

Good boy. That’s right.

No. [gasps] No, please.

[Rebecca sobbing]

Was I right?

Is that why you stayed?

[stammering] Yes.

[door thuds]

That was brilliant.

I only do what she makes me do.

I’ll tell you what,

this bitch keeps fucking around,

it’ll be the real baby.

But I think we got her where we want her, so.

What’s up kid?

You do what I asked you to do?

Hello?

Good.

Look at you turning into a sham.

[switches click]

All right, we gotta hurry up.

This thing’s almost over. Come on, let’s go.

Moon, grab the laptop, leave the baby.

[soft suspenseful music]

[baby crying]

[Moon] Let’s go!

[baby continues crying]

[baby continues crying]

[Sarah moaning]

[suspenseful music]

[baby continues crying]

[Moon sighs]

[Avery] You know what to do.

What happens after I transfer the money?

You know what happens.

Denton’s blood is on your hands,

but I’ll make it quick

and I’ll spare the life of the baby.

And do what with him?

I kind of like the idea of raising him on my own.

It’s poetic.

It’s child abuse is what it is.

And he’d be better off with you?

Come on, let’s go! Log in.

Come on!

Where’s the girl?

Oh my God. Jess is fine, okay?

Let’s go, log in.

[clears throat] She told me to.

Isaac?

She, she told me.

What’s going on?

[stammering] It was an accident, okay?

II-I-I-I didn’t expect her to fall, okay?

You had him kill Jess?

I didn’t have him do shit!

I just told him to keep her outta my way.

That’s it.

You killed her?

I’m, I’m done.

Okay? I’m done with this bullshit.

I’m taking the baby.

Only way you’re taking that baby

is in a body bag, motherfucker.

No kidding.

I am not letting you take him.

[suspenseful music] [baby crying]

Isaac.

You know that I need this money for my father.

Not like this.

It doesn’t work without the baby.

He wouldn’t have wanted you to hurt someone.

I don’t have a choice.

Well, I do!

Don’t make me do this.

Don’t make me ruin you.

Put the gun down.

I can’t.

[suspenseful music]

Isaac, you’re not a killer.

What happened with Jess was an accident.

I know this.

Matter of fact,

I know you weren’t gonna bring any harm to her,

which is why the gun that I gave you,

has only got blanks in it, man.

What? You’re lying.

[suspenseful music]

Isaac, look at me.

I’m putting the gun down.

I’m not gonna hurt you.

I never should have let you talk me into this.

You’re right.

I should have never brought you in, it’s my fault.

I’m sorry for all of us.

Please put the gun down.

Just put it down.

Please. I’m sorry.

[suspenseful music]

Okay.

[Avery grunts]

[dramatic music]

[Moon gasping]

[quirky dramatic music]

Don’t move.

We both know that this is the gun that’s loaded.

Does that offer still stand?

It still stands.

Money first.

Taken your money,

I wanted to make sure he was safe.

I didn’t know how hard it’d be to say goodbye.

Nobody’s perfect.

Obviously.

Thank God for the pills.

What pills?

My pills.

We took your pills.

Coffee breath.

Plus track marks. Sedatives.

[Rebecca coughs]

And the heroin.

After he shot up,

overdose was only a matter of time.

Sully’s coffee.

Robert too?

That took some work.

You played your part though.

[gun bangs] [Robert yells]

I helped him bleed out.

[Robert groans]

Femoral artery.

[Robert] I’m fucking bleeding, man.

There’s no way you woulda known Isaac woulda…

Hm, that was a bit of a Hail Mary.

[suspenseful music]

Hey, little guy, you’re so cute.

Will you knock it off with the baby, kid?

Get into your lawyer shit.

Hey, he’s fine.

Okay.

Oh my God.

We’re okay.

Oh my God.

[baby cries] Hi, baby. Hi.

What’s happening? Are you his mother?

I’ll explain later.

And the money, they said that you stole?

We should go.

Oh my God.

Now!

Hey, baby.

I’ll take him.

I called the police.

I told them what they did to you.

I told them everything.

Rebecca, come on. [gasping]
