[intriguing music playing]

[Folke] She’s on her way in.

[door opens]

[soft piano music playing in background]

[Ashley] Hi.

[Tea] Welcome to Linnemann’s.

Thanks.

[door closes] Good to see you.

Let me know if you’d like to see some pieces.

I’m just looking.

Would you like some champagne?

Why not?

People tend to buy more after some champagne.

[laughs softly] Thank you… I guess.

[Tea] Mm.

You’re wearing the bracelet.

Oh yeah.

Did you book an appointment just to show off?

Wouldn’t dream of it.

I just received a new necklace that I believe might suit you.

Wanna see?

Yeah.

[Tea] This is it.

I’ll try it on.

Mm. Of course.

[tense music playing]

Can you hold it up?

Yes, of course.

Is it gold?

Yes.

Eighteen karats.

And the clarity?

VVS1.

How much?

Thirty.

I’ll take it.

Good choice.

[Tea] Do you do online collaborations?

[Ashley] You mean like Insta?

Yeah.

[Ashley] No, not really.

Why not?

I have no need for it.

Okay.

Give me a call if you ever change your mind.

I like your profile.

And your posts.

They’re a good fit for the store.

Okay.

The day after tomorrow, I’m hosting a little event for new customers and regulars.

Maybe, if you want to, I could send you an invite.

You’ll get to see my newest collection and meet some of my partners.

There will be champagne.

Plenty of champagne.

[laughs quietly]

Okay, but I’ll need to find a babysitter for my daughter.

Just bring her along.

There’ll be goodie bags and lots of orange juice.

Well, then, thanks.

And, uh… thanks for the champagne. It worked.

Yeah, it rarely fails. [laughs] [Ashley] See you.

Yeah.

Bye.

Bye.

[door opens]

[dramatic music playing]

THE ASSET

[man] The current status is that our asset has made contact with the target.

We at section one of the Special Crimes Unit are requesting a warrant for extended wiretapping.

You want authorization to monitor an innocent person?

[man] We prefer to tap her husband’s phone, but it’s been impossible.

[judge] We’ll need clearly defined parameters of usage.

Well, if you had bothered to actually read the files I’d prepared, the usage is clear.

Trust me, I read the files.

I always do when I deal with you.

The information we have gathered leads us to believe that her husband is behind the murder of one of our agents.

We also believe he’s holding a significant sum of money that is intended to be used as payment for a shipment of cocaine.

We’re currently shutting down the businesses he uses for money laundering.

We believe this will create a sense of panic within the criminal underworld, and we need to listen to his conversations in case he drops the ball.

[paper shuffling]

This wiretap, how long do you think you’ll need it for?

One month to start with, and… an extension if needed.

[pen clicks]

Warrant granted.

[intense music playing]

Hi, Henrik.

Hi.

[cars passing]

[door opens]

Bambi?

Bambi?

[sighs]

Hey.

Bambi.

[Bambi] Mm.

[Miran] Get up.

Hey.

I called you all day.

You didn’t answer.

[Bambi] Mm.

Take a shower and go get dressed.

Where are we going?

We’re not sitting around here.

[Bambi exhales]

[Miran] Hurry up.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[shower running]

[scraping and thudding]

[paper crinkling]

[shower running]

[pop music playing in background]

You didn’t dry it properly.

[laughs] Relax, man.

[woman laughs] What kind of deal?

We haven’t made any deal yet.

It’s an invitation to an event, that’s all.

[woman] Really? Go, girl.

Stop.

I haven’t even decided if I’m gonna go.

We know you.

Of course you’re gonna go.

Bring me with you.

[laughs] Of course you should go.

So, what’s her name?

[Ashley] Mm.

Her name is Sara Linnemann.

Can we find her on Instagram?

Yeah.

[woman] Can I see her? Show me.

Here.

Is this her?

How the hell did you find her so quickly?

Darling, I have fingers.

Yeah, well, so do I.

So, is this her?

[woman] Show me! Ooh!

Wow!

Wow, these look amazing.

Beautiful.

Isn’t this the necklace you saw that you really wanted to buy?

Is that it?

[woman] That’s so pretty.

[woman 1] I wasn’t thinking clearly.

[woman 2] You should go for it, Ash.

Of course you should.

[Ashley] Should I?

[friends] Yes!

[woman] Darling, we’re your friends and we are honest.

Thanks.

[woman] Hi!

Hi!

[Miran] Hi, baby.

[man] Hi, everyone.

That took a while.

Can we get another table?

[woman] About to shake my hand?

Yeah. Hi, Siff.

[Siff] It’s good to see you.

[man] You too.

Excuse me.

[Siff] Likewise.

[woman] So, darling, has Miran heard?

No, stop.

Heard what?

Your fabulous girlfriend is about to become an influencer.

No, I’m not gonna be an influencer.

Honey, why are you downplaying this?

[Ashley] Enough! Stop!

[woman] It’s true.

Listen, someone just asked if I wanted to do a collaboration on Instagram.

Okay.

With a jewelry store.

[woman] Which is what influencers do.

We agree on that, yeah?

Want to see?

Sure, show me.

Stop being modest.

[woman] It’s really nice.

[man] It’s worth it, right?

[woman] This is her.

[Miran] Okay.

[woman] She just opened a new, exclusive store. Exciting.

Yeah, for sure.

[woman] Please, darling, can we seat these two together?

[woman 1] Baby, taste this for me?

[woman 2] Yeah.

[woman 1] It tastes like pure lemon.

Go ahead, try it.

Usually it doesn’t taste like this at all.

[woman 2] Geez, no, that’s not good.

[woman 1] See what I mean?

[conversation continues indistinctly]

[foreboding music playing]

Why didn’t you mention this before instead of me finding out like this?

I didn’t know that I needed your permission for everything.

This won’t work.

Why not?

You’re gonna attract too much attention showing off like that.

What do you mean? We spend our time in expensive restaurants buying champagne.

This is how we live.

How can a collaboration attract attention?

Hey.

What’s going on?

[Miran exhales]

Just drop it, okay?

[thunder rumbling]

Has she confirmed she’s attending?

No. I followed up, but she hasn’t replied back.

Okay. Fingers crossed.

This is the same as Ashley’s phone.

Once you have her phone, we’ll send a text to it.

The text contains software you need to download.

It takes about 30 seconds to install.

We’ll be watching you, and you can let us know when you’re ready to get the link.

You can signal to us by stroking your hair like this.

Okay?

Yeah.

What is it?

Nothing.

It seems kinda silly.

Well, if you have a better idea, then…

[scoffs] Go ahead.

It’s fine.

You should rehearse.

[tapping on keyboard]

[phone dings]

[Yasin] Press “download.”

After you download it, you must delete the message.

MESSAGES Good. Again.

It’s not complicated.

Okay.

[tapping on keyboard]

[phone dings]

How do I get ahold of her phone?

That’s your job.

[intriguing music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

[man] Hello, may I have your name?

Ashley.

[man] Thank you.

Welcome.

Thank you.

[Tea] We actually have another one that’s very similar.

Yeah, but the bracelets we have are rounder and smoother, with more inlays.

Almost exactly the same.

What do you think? Isn’t it pretty?

[Sofia] Mmhmm.

[indistinct chatter]

Can I play on my iPad?

Sure, just sit over there.

[clinking]

[chatter stops]

Hello, everyone.

[all] Hi!

My name is Sara Linnemann, and I would like to welcome all of you here today to my first event.

I’m so glad to see everyone, to get to meet you all.

Um, for those of you who don’t know me, I am, uh, the owner of this store.

And before, I used to live and work, uh, in Dubai for quite a long time.

I really loved my life there, it was wonderful, um, really, really, wonderful.

But then, um… there comes a time in your life when good weather and sunshine is unbearable.

[quiet laughter]

Which was the case for me.

So here I am, back in Denmark.

And, um, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to invite you all to my “welcome home” party to, um, say hi and put some faces to names.

I’m really looking forward to getting to know each and every one of you.

Thank you sincerely for welcoming the new girl in town.

Come see me, remember, don’t be shy, and, um… yeah, enjoy yourselves.

[woman] Thanks.

[man] Thank you.

Cheers.

[all] Cheers.

[upbeat music playing in background]

Hi.

Hi.

Hey.

Nice to see you.

I see you brought the boss.

I tried to set up a play date, but, uh…

[clicks tongue]

The kids from school aren’t very nice.

I’m happy you made it.

Cheers.

Yeah, cheers.

[Tea] Cheers.

[glasses clink]

[Ashley] It’s a very nice event you organized.

[Tea] I’m glad you like it.

[Ashley] Yeah.

See anything you like?

[Ashley] Uh… yeah, lots.

Anything you’d like to try?

Everything.

[both laughing]

So did you… think about our little chat?

About a collaboration?

To be honest, um, it’s not for me.

I understand.

My boyfriend didn’t really like the idea, so…

I had an ex like that.

He always knew what was best for me.

So… then I went to Dubai.

[Ashley exclaims]

[Tea] You should try this one.

[unlocking case]

I think this will suit you.

[compelling music playing]

[laughs quietly]

Wow.

Would you like a photo?

Yeah. Thanks.

Cool. My pleasure.

Maybe you could stand over there?

The lighting’s better.

[Ashley] Yeah.

[Ashley] Is it good here?

Yes.

Okay.

So pretty.

[Ashley giggles]

Now.

[tapping on keyboard] Sent it.

[Tea] Beautiful.

[Ashley] Can I see?

Wait, let me take another.

Okay.

Yeah. Looks great.

Very nice.

[tense music playing]

You look great.

[phone ringing]

Hi, honey.

[Yasin] It didn’t finish installing.

[tense music continues]

She didn’t delete the message.

[Ashley] Yeah, sure, okay.

Damn it.

[Ashley] Nice.

Is everything all right?

Yeah, uh, I’m downtown. I just went out to do some shopping with Sofia.

Okay. But is everything, uh… Okay.

Yeah, sure. See you. Bye.

I’m sorry, um, I have to run.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

Sofia?

Sofia, sweetie, we have to go now.

Oh… For fuck’s sake, Tea, come on.

[Ashley] We have to grab food on the way home.

[woman] It’s all right.

Your daughter’s so cute.

[laughs] Thanks.

I’m sorry, it’s just that I have to–

It’s okay.

It was really nice.

Yeah.

Don’t forget the bracelet.

Oh yeah. Right.

[Ashley] Here.

There you go.

It was fun.

Thank you for coming.

Bye.

See you, bye.

You forgot the goodie bags.

I’ll get them. Hang on.

Okay.

[suspenseful music playing]

Here you go.

For you.

Thank you.

There’s a little surprise inside for you.

Take a look.

Shall we put it on?

Yeah.

Now those silly girls at school will be jealous.

[Sofia and Tea giggle]

Are you sure about this?

[Tea] Yeah, it’s fine.

A client returned it because it was flawed, so it will cost me more to have it repaired than to give it away.

That looks great on you.

Wow!

Say thank you, sweetie.

Thank you.

You’re welcome, sweetie.

How about a photo of you together?

[Sofia] Yeah!

[Ashley] Sure.

Okay.

[Ashley] Yeah.

[tense music playing]

[Ashley] Show your wrist, sweetie.

[Tea] Very nice.

Do you have a minute?

Just a second.

[Folke] Good job, Tea.

[Tea] You look great together. You see?

[Tea and Ashley laugh]

[Tea] You look so cool, wow!

You’re amazing, sweetie.

Done.

[Ashley] Look, Sofia.

[Yasin] The message has been deleted, but the program wasn’t installed.

Thanks.

You’re welcome.

[Ashley] Um…

Do you have any plans for the weekend?

I never have any plans.

I’m going out with some friends on Saturday, so… If you wanna come?

It’ll be a lot of fun.

Sure.

Love to.

Sounds great.

[Ashley] Okay, cool.

[Tea] Yeah.

Great, I’ll text you.

Yeah, great.

Sounds good.

[Ashley laughs] Say goodbye, honey.

Bye.

Bye, Sofia. Take care.

Thanks for the gift.

You’re welcome.

[door opens]

Look at how lucky you are, sweetie, huh?

[stressful music playing]

[man] That’s it, yeah!

[crowd cheering]

[man] Ah, come on! What a waste!

Who scored?

Number five.

Five?

Who’s number five?

[crowd cheering]

Boiii!

You’re joking, right?

Who is it?

It’s Thomas, man.

Thomas who?

Thomas from school.

You mean Little Thomas?

Yeah.

You’re kidding me!

That guy’s 20 feet tall.

[man] Yeah! That’s it! Well done!

Come on! Come on! Yeah! Yeah!

[man 1] Pass the other way, come on!

[man 2] Cross it!

Get stuck in, get the ball!

[man 1] Tackle him!

Come on, shoot!

Good one!

[menacing music playing]

[man] Yeah!

I’ll be back in a minute.

[woman] That’s it!

[man] Come on!

[Miran] Erik. What brings you here?

[Erik] What the fuck do you think, Miran?

[threatening music playing]

There’s been a small delay, nothing to worry about.

Well, it better be a small delay, because my guys are dry.

You can always get your money back.

I don’t want my money back, I want my stuff.

[crowd clapping on beat]

It’s your last chance.

Say hi to your brother for me.

What’s goin’ on?

That guy talks too much.

[boy] Yeah!

Little Thomas, yeah?

[laughs]

Little Thomas.

[Sofia] Hi, Bambi!

[Bambi] Hello there, beautiful!

Good to see you. All good?

[Ashley] Hi.

[Miran] Hi, honey.

[Sofia] Hi, Dad.

[Ashley] Hey, Bambi.

All good? Hm?

Yeah.

Well, I hope you’re hungry, because Sofia insisted I buy the whole menu.

So we got a lot.

You bought food for us?

[Sofia] Yeah.

[Bambi] Okay!

[Ashley] Yeah.

This the spicy one?

[Ashley] Mmhm.

[Miran] Bambi, don’t.

Just a bit.

[Miran] Don’t do it. It’s strong.

When did you become such a crybaby?

I just can’t.

So I’m better than you?

Way.

Yeah?

[Bambi] She can eat more chili than you?

The woman eats raw chili.

[Bambi] Nice, Ash!

You’d swear she was Pakistani.

[Ashley laughing]

Let’s see?

Whoa!

Did your dad get you a birthday present?

Isn’t it pretty?

It’s really, really pretty.

Wow!

It’s beautiful, can I see?

Wow!

Did Mommy buy it?

No, it was Mommy’s friend.

I see.

What’s her name?

Sara.

And who’s Sara?

Um…

It’s, um… that jeweler.

[Miran] Mm.

Thanks for dinner. It was really good.

Are you done, Sofia?

[Sofia] Yeah.

[Bambi] Let me take your plate.

There we go.

Bambi, do want to see my dance?

Your dance?

Mmhm.

Don’t you play football?

You can do both, can’t you, Dad?

Course you can. What does your uncle know?

Wanna see her dance?

[Bambi] I’d love to.

Can you give me your phone?

Ready, sweetie?

Yeah.

Here it comes. Three, two, one…

[“It’s a Sin” by the Pet Shop Boys playing on phone]

[Bambi] Wow!

[song continues over radio]

[door opens]

[door closes]

I almost fucked up.

It’ll be all right.

We’ll just put the wiretap on standby.

So for the moment, focus on building a relationship. The rest can wait.

So I did fuck up?

She’s invited you out.

You’ll meet her friends…

I’ve seen much bigger fuckups in my time.

When you meet them… you’re on your own.

Okay?

No microphones.

And don’t try anything.

Do what you have to do, but be careful.

Understood?

I understand.

Get some sleep.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[panting]

[sniffs]

[somber music playing]

[distant vehicle approaching]

[music turns ominous]

[door opening]

[suspenseful music playing]

That won’t do.

[expectant music playing]

Hi.

Hi.

Um, is Ashley here?

Yeah, yeah, of course, come in.

Just take off your shoes, okay?

I’m busy here for the moment.

So… Ashley, it’s for you, darling!

Ashley!

Can I have a slice of pizza, please?

[woman] Of course you can. Here you go.

Hi.

Hey.

Thanks for the invitation.

Good to see you.

Good to see you, too.

Um, this is Stine.

She’s the sister of my friend Ibi.

Hi.

She’s great.

She’s babysitting all our kids tonight.

Yeah, and I’m starting to regret it already.

[Ashley] Sofia?

[Sofia] Yeah?

[Ashley] Come here and say hi, sweetie.

[Sofia] Yeah.

Hi, Sofia. Hey, gorgeous.

She couldn’t find the bracelet you gave her, so she’s upset.

It’ll turn up.

[woman 1] Get over here.

[woman 2] Does anyone want more pizza?

[children] Me!

The kids get the living room, we get the bedroom.

[Tea] Sounds good.

[child] Wanna play video games?

[Stine] Yes.

[woman] Party!

Girls, this is Sara.

Hi.

Ibi. Hi, Sara.

Nice to meet you.

Thanks for inviting me. For you.

Wow, you know me too well.

[women laughing]

Hi, darling. I’m Patricia.

Hi.

Glad to meet you.

Me too.

[Ashley] Something to drink, ladies?

[women] Yes, please!

[Ashley] You bet!

[Ibi] Girl!

[women laughing]

[Patricia] Let’s get this party started!

[Ibi] Don’t forget me!

Relax, darling, don’t worry.

[laughing] Okay.

[all] Cheers!

Very nice to meet you.

Yeah, you too.

Would you like to borrow some clothes?

I’m sorry?

Didn’t you come from work?

Ibi, seriously?!

Ibi, baby, come on!

Don’t listen to her.

Okay! Chill out, all right?

That’s not what I meant.

No, it’s fine, I get it.

Well, you know, we’re going clubbing, so…

[laughing]

[Ibi] Aren’t we?

Are we going clubbing?

Yeah, we are.

It’s okay if you don’t want to.

But if you do, I have an outfit that’d fit.

Okay.

If we’re going clubbing, I’d better change into something else.

Exactly.

Let’s find something.

[Patricia] You’d look good with something that’d push up.

[Ibi] What do you wanna push up?

[woman] Siff isn’t coming.

[Ibi] What! Again?

She’ll meet us at the club.

[Patricia] Why does she do this every time? ‘Cause she’s screwing that guy?

[woman] He’s fucking disgusting.

[Ibi] The same guy as last time?

[Patricia] The guy with three fingers?

[Ibi] You need some blush.

[Ashley] And just a little bit here…

[Tea laughs] What?

Nothing.

You’re laughing at me.

No.

It’s just that you’re so focused.

This is serious work.

Maybe we’ll find someone tonight.

That’s highly unlikely.

Why’s that?

I enjoy my own company and…

I kinda like keeping to myself.

And work takes up my time.

How can you say such a thing?

What do you mean?

I mean, you have a very successful business, you’re independent…

[sighs] I’d love to have that.

[tapping makeup brush]

What’s stopping you?

Hmm.

I mean it.

If you could choose, what would you like to do?

I dunno, I wouldn’t mind having my own jewelry store.

[both laugh]

Then we’d be competitors?

[Ashley] You know what I mean.

I’d just like to be my own boss, be in charge of my own life.

Yeah…

The kinda mom Sofia looks up to.

I’m sure she looks up to you.

Uh-huh.

[laughs]

Let me see.

Were you proud of your mom?

No.

My mother was violent, and she was an alcoholic, a narcissist.

Mm. She sounds just like my mom.

Hm. We’re not that different.

Well, if you girls are done making out in here, maybe we can leave?

Okay.

[Ashley] You look great.

Gorgeous.

[Ashley] Right, huh?

Well done.

[all laughing]

Time to party!

Hey, babe!

Hi, darling.

Hey, honey.

Hi!

Okay.

[Ibi] Let’s go!

Let’s go!

[bouncer] Hi.

Hi.

[bouncer] In you go, ladies.

[Ashley] What’s up? Thanks.

[bouncer] Have a nice evening, ladies.

Go enjoy yourselves.

[all chattering excitedly]

[“Fly Boi (CAIVA Remix)” by peachlyfe playing]

[woman] Oh, honey!

It’s cool, right?

[woman 1] Hi!

[woman 2] Whoo!

Hey, girl, here you are!

[Ibi] Let’s go, baby! Let’s have some fun!

[pounding dance music continues]

[dance music fading]

[unsettling music playing]

Whoo!

[all] Cheers!

Let’s party!

Let’s go!

Let’s dance!

Time to hit the dance floor!

Yeah!

Let’s dance!

This place is really cool.

Yeah, it’s amazing.

[pounding dance music continues]

[women whooping]

[laughing]

Yeah, yeah.

Hang on. That one!

Oh, I’m good, thanks!

Yeah!

This is fun.

Thanks for inviting me.

Cheers!

[all] Whoo!

[woman] Yeah!

[woman 2] Hey, honey?

Hey, guys!

Did you know the guys were gonna come?

Niko wanted to know where we were.

[woman] Hey, baby!

What’s up, man?

It’s good to see you.

Hey, good lookin’!

[woman] Hey, Bambi.

Hey, honey!

[Miran] Yeah, man.

I missed you, baby.

Who’s that?

I missed you so much!

Who’s that?

Sara.

Are you the jeweler?

Yeah.

Hey!

Can’t we just have some fun tonight, baby?

[Miran] Yeah, sure. Of course.

Hey, baby, meet Sara.

Hi.

Sara.

[Bambi] Hi.

Sara. Sara?

What? Bambi.

Hi.

[Ibi] Yeah! Look at me!

So, are you Ashley’s new friend?

Uh, yeah. Kind of, yeah.

Thanks.

[Bambi] Where did you meet?

We both go to the same place to do our nails.

Okay.

They look nice.

Thanks.

Time for some more.

Okay for you? That’s it, man.

[women whooping and yelling]

Whoo!

Hey!

Darling, here you go, Ibi.

Thanks.

Are you having fun?

Yeah.

You sure?

Yeah, your friends are so nice.

Thanks for inviting me.

I’m so glad you’re here.

Ah!

[woman screaming excitedly]

[Siff] Stop!

So… is someone gonna pour me a glass?

[Patricia] Cheers!

[inhales]

[sniffs]

[Bambi] And some for our queen?

Yeah, come on.

Want some?

Sorry?

Want some?

[Bambi] Yeah!

We got ourselves a wild one!

A real wild one!

I like that! I like it! Come on, bro.

[woman] Cheers, honey!

[Ashley] Hey, are you okay?

Yeah, I just have to pee.

[blowing]

[panting]

[blowing nose]

Hey, I have her phone.

Yeah, I have Ashley’s phone.

Send me the link.

Miran’s here too.

Yeah, there’s lots of people here.

Uh, Club Kamma? It’s somewhere downtown?

Come on, send it quickly, I don’t have…

[woman] Hey, are you done yet?

[phone clatters on surface]

[woman continues talking indistinctly]

[knocking on door]

[woman] Hello?

[exhales]

[knocking continues]

I’m not done. Gimme a second.

[woman] Hurry up in there!

[woman] Wait up for me, okay?

I’m waiting to pee.

Come on, wait up for me, guys, okay?

[woman 2] Come on, hurry up.

Yeah.

[toilet flushes]

[clears throat]

[water flowing]

[door opens]

[sinister music playing]

I’m happy that Ash is making new friends.

But don’t overdo things, okay?

Okay.

Do you understand?

Yeah.

In fact, I was just about to leave.

Okay.

My daughter doesn’t get expensive gifts from strangers.

I pay for my daughter’s stuff.

[door opens]

[menacing music playing]

[menacing music continues]

[indistinct muffled chatter]

Hey!

[muffled conversation continues]

[sound becomes clearer]

She might have noticed…

Yeah! Then she thought, “That’s the Queen.”

I know, but this is seriously messed up.

Wanna get something to eat later?

I’m heading home. I’m really tired.

Going home?

Yeah, but I had a great time.

Are you sure? Are you okay?

Thanks for inviting me.

Okay. Mwah!

See you.

Text me when you’re home.

Thanks, bye.

Be good!

Have a good night.

Yeah, see you!

[woman] Okay, I think we need to get some more booze here.

[club music fades]

[indistinct dialog]

[pensive music playing]

[man] I’ll just be a moment.

[sighs]

[Tea] Thanks.

How many were there?

Eight, maybe ten of us?

Tell me about… Miran.

Did he seem suspicious?

Mm.

Yeah, he told me to take a walk.

To leave?

Just like that.

You’re bleeding. A nose bleed.

Ugh.

[blows nose]

[Jensen] This isn’t gonna work.

I think we should back off.

Why now?

[Jensen] Look at her.

She’s a mess.

I think she’s perfect.

She installed the software on the phone.

She should’ve told us first.

[Folke sighs]

[Tea] Miran was just marking his territory.

I can do this. I’m telling you there’s no reason to back off.

Have faith in me. I got this.

[footsteps approaching]

[Yasin] We’re live on Ashley’s phone.

[poignant music playing]

[door slams]

[keys clatter]

[water running]

[breathes heavily]

[door opens]

[door closes]

[exhales slowly]

[Miran] What’s up?

Nothing.

So what’d she offer you?

[Ashley] Stop.

What did she offer you for the collaboration?

10,000?

20,000?

Just leave me alone.

Okay.

[Miran exhales]

Here.

Five.

Come on, take it.

Take it!

I don’t want it.

Take the money.

[Ashley exhales over phone]

[Miran] Do you have any idea what I do for you and Sofia?

Take the money.

[Ashley] I’ve never asked you for a damned thing!

[Miran] Take the money and shut it!

[Ashley] Fuck you!

[Miran] What did you say?

[clinking and clattering]

[Ashley] Fuck you!

[Ashley huffs]

[Miran] Calm down, Ash. Calm down now.

Get the hell outta my life!

Miran, you hear me?

Get the fuck out of my life!

[Miran] Hey! Listen to me!

Get out! I said fuck you!

[sobbing]

Calm down.

[Ashley crying]

[screams]

[glass smashes]

[Miran breathing heavily]

[Ashley] I’ve had enough!

I don’t want you seeing her again.

Understood? Stop!

[Ashley crying] Don’t tell me what to do!

I think we’ve had enough of this.

[Ashley screams]

[glass shatters]

[phone stops]

[clicks tongue]

You did good.

[chair scrapes]

[second chair scrapes]

[melancholy music plays]

You’re doin’ a great job.

[melancholy music continues]

[music fades out]
