(man sniffs)
(banging on the door)
(man coughs)
[Man] What the fuck is going on?
Oh shit.
- Shit.
- Go, go, go.
[Man] Maddy, wake up.
Maddy, Maddy, it's the cops.
You gotta get the fuck out of here.
Shit, Maddy, wake up.
Maddy, wake up.
Maddy!
(door smashes open)
- Let me see your hands!
- Wake up, Maddy, wake up!
- Get away from her!
- She's not waking up!
- Hey, what's her name?
- She's not waking up, man.
[Man] No, no, I didn't
give her anything.
[Cop] Hey guy, what's her name?
- Maddy.
- Maddy, can you hear me?
[Man] Get your hands
off me. Maddy, wake up!
[Cop] Maddy, if you can
hear me, take a breath for me.
[Man] Get away. No, I
didn't give her anything.
[Cop] Don't give me that, bro.
(crosstalk)
[Man] Maddy, wake up. Wake the fuck up!
[Cop] Come on. Big
breath, Maddy, big breath-
- [News Reporter] This
is the south La Copa home
where 17 year old Madeline
Deegan was found dead
a few weeks ago.
It's known by some as a frequent hangout
for illicit drug use and drinking.
It was the focus of a raid
the morning Deegan's body was discovered
leading to the arrest of six
adults and three juveniles.
Because of the mix of
drugs in Deegan system,
charges were discussed
but were not pursued by law enforcement.
Her death has been ruled accidental
and no further investigation
will take place.
Her father, Tacomish Tribal
Police Sergeant, Elan Deegan,
and her mother...
(tense music)
(dog barking in the distance)
(vegetables crunching)
(deep quick inhale)
(tense music)
Maddy!
(door squeaks)
Bug.
(deep breathing)
(deep panting)
My daughter was raped and killed.
I know who did it.
I thought I needed your help.
I was wrong.
(tin can rattling)
Yeah, they don't stick around long.
These kids find an empty spot to party.
The cops get called after a couple nights
and they move on to the next.
Trying to find someone
who even knows this kid
is hard enough.
Good news is, I think this will help you
when we do find him.
You've got a tracking app and everything.
Yeah, I know, it's a fossil,
but it's undetectable if anyone finds it.
All you gotta do is log
into your email and voila.
Keep the "do not disturb" on.
You don't wanna answer this one?
Okay.
I also got a long life
battery in there, just in case.
Just make sure to keep it charged.
Hey, Deegan.
You know we're gonna find
this little fucker, right?
Are you smoking now?
You smell like it.
I gotta go.
Vacuum cleaners?
Been a little slow here lately.
You're selling vacuum cleaners now?
What of it? You want one?
Ow.
(country rock music
playing in the background)
[Whit] You're getting good.
You did exactly what you
told me, no more than 10 bucks.
I said a few bucks.
You know we could quadruple
the amount of money we make.
Let's not get greedy, babe.
I gotta cash these, he's got his limits.
Well, can I meet this mystery man then?
I got my limits too.
You got a real problem
trusting me, don't you?
Don't act like this is
all for me, all right?
Fine. Can we just not
do it 50 feet from work?
This is stupid.
These people are fucking retards.
They don't know what's going on here.
Let's go to your place then.
That's not what I meant.
This stuff really stresses you out, huh?
No, it's not that.
I just, um...
The kid I think, think I can find him.
How?
- Just... Nevermind, okay.
- Yeah.
Listen, if you like, we
could come back to my place.
We could talk about it.
We go to your place too.
Oh, I have this rule, I
don't take work home with me.
Oh,
a rule.
(heaving breathing)
Knocks me off of my feet
every time I see him
Handsome
Handsome man
I don't even know his name
I don't know where he lives
(moaning and groaning)
But he's still to blame
For all the misery he gives
Because he's handsome
Oh, so handsome
(glass shattering)
Gentle and sweet
Knocks me off of my feet
every time I see him
Handsome
(moaning and groaning)
Handsome man
Handsome man
(dog barking)
Who can he be
Ooh, he's just right
(moaning and groaning)
Just right for me
'Cause he's handsome
Oh, so handsome
(heavy breathing)
- Daddy.
- I'll get her.
Okay, I got it.
[Looney Tunes Character]
Pull a knife on me, would ya?
Why you...
[Levi] So that's the plan, huh?
Give the tracker to some criminal.
He's not what you think,
okay? He grew up here.
He knows a lot of people.
I'm gonna use that.
[Levi] So, hmm, okay,
so you get close to him
and he helps track the kid.
Basically, what you're telling me is,
you're playing this guy?
I mean, if that's what it
is, just fucking say so.
I'm gonna take any
opportunity I can, all right?
I was gonna ask him to do it last night,
but yeah, it wasn't the right time.
[Levi] Just watch your back.
Not everyone is looking
out for your best interest.
Hang on, hang on, what is this?
Just got our first tracker location email.
Has the phone's out in Eagle's Nest?
You holding out on me?
Who'd you get the phone to?
[Andi] Shit. Shit.
[TV Actor] Anyway,
it's just a rough sketch.
Pretty small mouth, eh?
Oh, well.
[TV Actor] Give her that Crawford smear.
This will give her the heat between here.
We are on the wrong track.
She still looks surprised.
(cellphone vibrating)
[TV Actress] Mr. Smith is not in.
[Andi] How'd you get my number?
I got word you had a car break in.
[Andi] Oh yeah? What about it?
You should have called me first.
[Andi] Elan, how do you even
know about it? I didn't...
Look, it's fine. It's probably
just some stupid kids.
No reason to call, actually,
No? That doesn't sound like you.
[Andi] Elan,
I'm kind of in the middle
of dinner right now,
so I gotta go, okay?
All right, here, here's the thing.
Tribal PD did get a call last night.
A good Samaritan who
witnessed the break in,
called it in with a description.
We got an ID on them.
Some woman who's been around your casino
and her junkie boyfriend.
They've been arrested a couple times
at an abandoned place
a couple of miles out.
Had it's fair share of
bust over the last year,
you know, druggie squatters and whatnot.
We keep breaking them up, but
they just keep coming back.
Elan, I appreciate what you're doing,
but I can take care of it.
[Elan] You know, that's
not how this works, right?
You are such a...
Cop.
Listen, I, I'm already here, all right?
I know this isn't my area,
but I had a couple of minutes to spare.
Yeah, of course, you're already there.
All I'm trying to do
is help you get your stuff back.
And...
It's good to hear your
voice again, by the way.
[Andi] Well, I gotta go.
So let me know if you find something.
(rain pattering)
(thunder rumbling)
(cellphone ringing)
Deegan here.
I'm coming out.
What'd you find?
What's with the...
Just tell me what you found.
This is how you greet
me? It's been 11 months.
Recognize it's chicken
scratch on the pages.
[Andi] Is that it?
Assuming they stole the phone,
it's already been sold to trade it up.
(cellphone vibrating)
Who's that?
No one.
Wait, what is this?
Hey, just don't worry about it.
I know you've been keeping
tabs on me, I'm not stupid.
- Define keeping tabs.
- With Levi.
He's almost as bad liar as he are.
So you are working with him?
That's about the stupidest
idea you've ever had. Levi.
You know, you and I,
we don't exist anymore.
So what I do and who I work
with is none of your business.
(thunder clapping)
Look, please stay out of it.
I know you're just doing
your job or whatever,
but I don't want you to
go out of your way for me.
Maddy wasn't my blood,
but I was her father.
She took my name and I-
I know.
I know.
(thunder clapping)
You left everything, me, our home.
I don't even recognize you anymore.
I don't need your help.
(rain pattering)
(car door slams)
(front door slams)
(tense music)
The person who stole my
bag with the tracker,
she's been prowling
the casino for a while.
- Yeah, what about her?
- I can't be sure,
[Andi] But I think I've
seen her daughter there too.
Somehow she knew Maddy.
How'd you find all this
out, huh? Some woman stole it.
And how the hell would
you know they're related.
[Andi] I don't sleep much, Levi.
Well, as your service provider,
I strongly recommend that you
visit that tracker location.
You said this kid's a dealer.
Well, it might be a connection there
if your thief is a dope head.
I looked it up.
The partial number leads to
an HD Maritime Solutions,
whatever that is.
No listing for that either.
You listening to me?
Yeah, I'm here.
Look, Deegan, I know how you
get, all right? Understandably.
Now this is an emotional
time right now, I get that.
But I, I don't want you
getting all distracted
and, and unfocused, okay?
This is, it's, it's really critical
that you follow these leads.
[Andi] Shut up and gimme a second.
[Levi] Oh, come on, what's the holdup?
She may be the last person
to see my daughter alive.
[Levi] And you don't
know that, all right?
Okay, look, I'm not
gonna go to another house
it turns out to be some
vacated druggie hangout.
[Levi] Whatever, fine. You
do what you want, all right?
But you're running the show around here
and I'm just here for my enjoyment?
You said HD Maritime?
[Levi] Maritime Solutions, yeah. Why?
Deegan?
Can you send me that
address? I know that name.
(tense music)
(papers rustling)
(tense music continues)
Oh shit.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh God. Okay.
Shit!
Oh God.
Hey!
Please. Oh God.
(gasping)
Bitch, you're on private property.
(groaning and gasping)
(grunting)
(coughing and gasping)
(door creaking)
[Harland] What the fuck?
God damn tornado's been in here.
Who's is all this?
[Man 2] What do you think?
[Harland] That's ruined.
Add that to the list.
Just bulldoze this to the ground.
[Man 2] What's that?
I think I may have found the source.
Is she dead?
You wanna check? Be my guest.
[Vagrant] Get him off of me.
This is my house, motherfucker!
[Harland] Really?
Who do you send your
mortgage payments too?
- We have rights.
- You've been misinformed.
- I found it.
- See this? Look familiar?
[Harland] My son had it.
And to my surprise, a picture
of you on my property.
Another picture of you.
Terrible photo there.
And your girlfriend, hmm?
You know if I had to guess
I'd say you probably lifted it
then traded up for that
little toxic cocktail
your girl in there took.
[Vagrant] No, I didn't steal anything.
Yeah, of course you didn't.
You and your corpse bride
in there are here illegally.
This is my house, not yours.
So I'm not laying a finger
on that carcass in there.
But you are gonna drag
her ass out right now
before she starts decomposing,
leaking fluids everywhere.
Fucking hear me, boy?
[Vagrant] You can't do this
man. Fucking sue your ass.
I'll be in here and your shit
will be out on the street.
You and your little spick buddy.
(groaning and grunting)
(tense music)
Excuse me, do you know a Harland Dunn?
You just call me when you lonely
(Buster's Place by Keith Stone playing)
(patrons chattering in the background)
Harland, right?
I know you?
Is that your boat out there?
Could be. Why?
I think you should tell me
how you put this whole
thing together exactly
'cause it still seems
just a little bit odd.
The phone has a tracking app.
Call the cops?
Is that what you prefer?
Hell no. I'm just curious.
I wanted to take care of it, you know?
Why get him involved.
Look a little dazed.
I've never been really good on boats.
Not even moving.
Remind me never to ask you to
help me dump a body at sea.
Her you go.
[Andi] Did you find this
at the abandoned house?
Yeah. Excuse me for one second.
(banging on the door)
Racking on a basic.
(girl singing)
It's my birthday baby,
time to bring a cake in
[Robby] Yo, what the
fuck? What you doing?
What if I told you no one
comes down here but you?
Now get your chill baby outta here.
I don't wanna see her again.
I see the concentration camp
still on fucking lockdown.
I see-
- Put your shirt on, all
right? We got company.
[Andi] So what do you do exactly?
Maritime supply. You
know, maintenance, repair.
What do you do?
I, I work at a casino.
Oh, so you got kids.
[Andi] What about you?
So you live here alone?
Robby.
He stays here from time to time.
My boys had run-ins with the wrong people.
So I'm, you know, trying to
extricate him the best I can.
Sometimes the apple doesn't
fall apart from the tree
and sometimes it doesn't fall at all.
I see.
All right.
Hey, I'm sorry about the trouble
my impromptu tenants caused ya.
Get that for ya.
Constellation prize.
Better than cardboard.
Sure we haven't seen each other before?
I think I just have one of those faces.
Thanks again.
Sure.
(tense music)
- Levi-
- Before you say anything.
[Levi] Why is Elan calling me
asking if we're working together?
How the hell does he know?
Just hold on a second.
Listen to me.
[Levi] When you said you,
you did your own homework,
I thought you meant on your own.
None of that matters.
I know where he is.
I found out where the kid is.
That, that's great.
[Levi] But if, if I know your ex,
it's just going,
None of this matters.
It's a stupid power trip.
[Levi] Wait a second,
wait. You knew about this.
You knew he was on this whole
scheme and you didn't tell me.
We are so close.
We have been working on
this that for months.
[Levi] That's it. It's over.
This is over. I, I'm done, okay?
I, yeah, I think you should
seriously consider it too.
Levi, li-
Levi!
[Harland] Hey.
What the fuck? Get the fuck-
- Perfect. You stealing again then, huh?
Get the fuck off of me, dude.
That woman's shit was
stolen from her car.
And why am I finding her phone
with dope head glamour
photos in your room, huh?
Man, eat a dick, bitch.
I didn't steal shit.
(groaning)
I met your funky-ass
customers at the house.
Tell me, what's the going
rate for a two bed one bath
on the east side?
You're a fucking property agent now?
You're about an inch for
being homeless yourself, man.
Because there's nothing I can do for you
when you're out from underneath my roof.
Look, it's my boy, Spoons, okay?
He bartered with a couple dope fiends
and, and, and I paid him some cash for it.
That's it.
Yeah, sure it is.
No, that's the fucking truth, man.
Yeah, and I also know
that you two dumb asses
are running a homeless
shelter at my property.
Man, you got me here
22 hours a fucking day.
When do I have time to
go to my old crib, man?
Don't ice me like I'm a fucking punk.
You're the fucking hypocrite.
And you are outta here tonight.
You're going to my place.
Yo. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
You're kidding me, right?
I can't trust you, Robby.
This is how it's gonna be.
- No luck finding your bag?
- No.
If I told you the latest ticket cow,
would that make you feel better?
Why are you doing this... stealing?
'Cause I need it.
Gracie needs it
Because you could get a
different job when they paid more?
Right. Okay.
What about you then?
- You know why.
- I'm not sure I do exactly.
Before you said it was
about scraping enough cash
to put this kid in jail, right?
It doesn't really seem
that way to me anymore.
I think you enjoy it.
I think you enjoy breaking the rules.
That's the kind of person that you are.
My options are limited.
What are you getting at, exactly?
I need your help.
I want this kid to feel what Maddy did.
I want him to know that he can't get away
with something like that.
So what you're asking
me to what, what...
You're asking me to kill this kid?
He's not a kid, technically, okay?
I can't do it by myself.
Sell this fucker off to you.
Look, Andi, I'm, I'm not a
hit man. I'm not a hit man.
I realize that, but listen to me.
We can make it look like a break-in.
I have this whole thing figured
out, I know how to find him.
Andi, are you outta your fucking mind?
You just got mental.
I thought you said he
fucking deserved this.
I thought you said if you ever met him,
you'd punch a hole in him and
wear him like a sock puppet.
That's what you said to me.
That kid is a thug.
He's probably running around
with a bunch of like murderers
and rapists and shit.
You know, you don't know
what he's capable of.
Where are your fucking balls, Whit?
All right. All right.
We're not talking about this here, okay?
You want, you wanna fuck
first and then we'll chat?
Because we can do that.
[Film Actor 1] Last thing they told me
was that they thought you
were missing on her own.
[Film Actor 2] Is that what you think?
[Film Actor 1] To tell you the truth,
I don't think about it too much.
I try not to.
Wendy's gone and that's
the way it's gonna stay.
[Film Actor 2] Well,
do you mind if I ask you,
was she acting strangely at
all before she went missing?
[Film Actor 1] I mean,
there is something...
Sorry, I know you.
I'm bad with names, but Nadine, is it?
Natalie?
That's not my name.
Peter Shepherd. Shepherd Cadillac.
Your husband's Frank.
We met a while back.
Can you leave me alone, please?
No, no, I'm sorry.
Look, I know it a few years
ago, but how's Frank doing?
It was her, right?
Well, that one is 1,295,
but this weekend we're
doing a special for $1,100.
Yeah. Yeah, dual suction motor
and yeah, I, I gotta call
you back in a minute, okay?
I found him. The cell phone worked.
Oh yeah. Yeah, that, that's great.
But I'm in the middle of
trying to keep the lights on.
Levi, we need to move
on this because he can-
- Ah, did you not hear me before?
I have heard what you said.
- He might leave tomorrow.
- I can't help you.
Levi, fucking listen to me!
What exactly are you going to do?
Call the cops? Beat him up?
The police won't pursue it.
You're chasing your tail.
So you've just been taking my money
for the last six months then, huh?
Oh, you, you want your money back? Fine.
Worth not having this on my conscience.
I don't want the money back.
I need your help one last time.
I've seen it with my own
eyes. They're criminals.
I need a recording,
one we can plant.
A bug?
If I can get proof and show someone,
you and I can put him away.
Look, I'd give it to you,
but you can't set it up yourself.
I swear to God, if
you help me with this,
you will never see me ever again.
(tense music)
- Is that the boat?
- Yeah.
- What's going on?
- Keep going.
What are you doing?
Like walking through a fucking drug deal?
Let's get the fuck outta here.
Let's go.
(boat engine revving)
We need to go.
[Andi] Hey, calm down.
Have a good life, Deegan.
We don't know who that was.
It could have been anybody.
Yeah, I'm not sticking
around to fucking find out.
Take your money.
Levi, please
(car engine starting)
Let it go.
Get out of my fucking truck!
(tense music continues)
Hey.
[Cheryl] No chicks. Move the fuck along.
I got 50 bucks.
A hundred?
I don't eat no pussy,
bitch. Just an FYI.
I just need some company.
Meet me in room 118.
Room's 30 bucks.
Okay.
(tense music)
(muffled talking)
(police siren wailing in the distance)
(knocking at the door)
Come in.
What are those?
Amy's right here to help them.
That's a pretty necklace.
Where'd you get it?
[Cheryl] Don't remember.
- You got a name?
- It's Andi. What's yours?
- You got a preference, Andi?
- No.
You one of those?
- I just wanna talk.
- Right?
All right, fucking talk then.
Who's the guy in the other room?
He's just a friend.
He don't like me talking
about him, though.
- So do you have a family?
- Maybe.
Do you have a dad or a mom?
I need to know if you know somebody.
His name is Robby.
Robby?
Why you wanna know about him?
(banging on the door)
[Kay] Yo, you still here. I
told you to go the fuck home.
What? Are you on your
own program now, huh?
Why the fuck I always feel
I gotta babysit you, bitch?
I told you to take a hike!
So grab all your pink,
furry shit and bounce!
Is this your fucking mom's or something?
- No.
- What the fuck is up?
I paid, okay? We're good.
Stay put.
So what's up with you?
Is this your first time?
You kind of dope?
I don't know though. Something
ain't clicking, right?
Like bumping uglies is what's
on your mind right now.
What the fuck is you doing here?
She just wanted to chat.
Chat? That's it?
Want a little chitty-chat?
Is you a cop or something?
- No.
- Is she a cop?
I'm not a cop.
You smell like one
except for them tatts.
You sure in as hell look like one?
I look like a lot of people.
Kay, come on.
(gasping)
Kay.
(coughing)
See, this shit is fake.
That's fake as the re-
(screaming)
(tense music)
(door slams)
(water running)
(gasping)
To hell with this.
- Yeah?
- You awake?
- I wanna see you.
- Right now?
Is that okay?
Hey.
Why do you go to the
movies all the time alone?
Why do you ask?
It's just strange.
You were right.
I don't know what I was thinking.
Especially at the casino
Andi, I'm quitting.
What?
Yeah, think it's, I
think it's run its course.
Wait a minute, I think...
What do you think about Arizona?
- I don't know, it's hot.
- Well, not always.
More than most places.
Why are you asking me about Arizona?
Would you ever want to go there?
Like to visit? No.
To live?
What are you saying?
Well, Renee's moving to Phoenix
and Gracie's going with her.
And if I want to see her, again,
then I'm gonna have to go with her.
When?
Soon.
Why are you asking me?
It's a lot easier if you come with me.
I don't know.
Think about it, okay?
And think about this.
In 20 or 30 years when
California falls into the ocean,
Arizona property value's gonna skyrocket.
(somber music)
[Film Actor 3] You'll
get a second chance
with Father Thomas.
Well, it's, it's
complicated. Him and witches.
You may have heard something
about his relationship
with Hester.
Tabitha, listen to me.
[Tabitha] Sorry. Yeah, I'm listening.
I have to...
- What I miss?
- Ssh.
Did Melanie drop you off?
No, it was just some guy that I know.
What boy?
Mom, I'm trying to watch the movie.
(emotional music)
I'm sorry, bug.
God damn thing.
Hey, when are we gonna get
one of them whatchamacallits?
You know, it's a lot of
names for a 72 hour period,
especially for such a small space.
[Cop 2] Well, it's easy
when you don't spend the whole night.
[Cop 3] How many in number 118?
Eleven. Three on Monday.
Nothing?
The camera's garbage.
- They're the worst.
- What? I like-
- Are we doing this?
You saying what I think you're saying?
Yeah. If the offer still stands.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Okay.
We, we should celebrate a couple shots.
No, another time.
She's not in my arms
Harland, someone's here to see you.
Thanks.
- Swiss army knife.
- With your name on it.
Yeah, I toss them out all the time.
Fishermen like to cut
line. Pop beers with them.
And now a weapon of choice.
You and I know you got a sheet.
Why don't just tell me
who you've been handing
these out to recently.
And you can be on your merry way.
Hell if I know, it's
been a couple months.
You just said you hand
them out all the time.
You know what I mean?
Tossing the people on the water.
- New clients
- And their names.
Look, friend, I don't
keep a roll of decks.
I wouldn't call myself
a savvy businessman.
But if you're looking to
dig into every single person
in my network,
you're gonna upset a
lot of perfectly legit
working class guys
who I'll have to deal with later.
And may I say thank you for
coming here of all places.
You'd rather do this at your residence?
The blood came off a young hood.
So if we could prevent some
kind of provocation by arrival
or whatever this is,
it's gonna save me a lot of work later.
Look, I'm not here to tie you to anything,
but you get no sympathy from
me for the inconvenience.
I just want peace and
fucking quiet on the res.
I'm sure you want that too.
[Motivator] Failure Should inspire you
to acquire more knowledge, gain humility,
and open your eyes to
greater opportunities.
Remember the four most important things
you should be able to
do as an entrepreneur.
Learn from your mistakes.
Take calculated risks.
Choose your battles.
[Levi] Don't make me
call the cops on your ass.
[Motivator] With selling
yourself and your business.
Why you selling, most important?
Look at like learning a new language.
It's total emotional.
It's not just part of a 9 to 5 job.
It's a whole different approach
to people, relationships,
and your lifestyle.
Shit man, I, look, look,
if this is about the other
night, I, I already fired her.
(gun fires)
[Motivator] Assertive
about what's important to you
while truly listening to
what others have to offer.
Five, six, seven, eight, nine,

I'm really close to home.
Eleven.
Hello?
[Harland] Andi, it's Harland.
Bad time?
How'd you get my number?
[Harland] Terrible control
of information at the casino,
I must say.
Sorry, I know this is
strange or I don't know,
maybe you're used to it,
but I wanted to call and
see how you're doing.
I'm good.
[Harland] I was afraid I
wasn't gonna get a chance
to ever see you again.
Listen, I, I found the
adapter for your phone.
I would've just delivered it in person,
but it'd probably be impolite
to just stop by your place unannounced.
Thought instead, we
could meet up somewhere.
Yeah, I already have an
adapter. That's not mine.
[Harland] No, no, it's,
it's definitely yours.
Why don't I meet you and you can grab it.
Yeah, now's not a really good time.
[Harland] Andi, I don't wanna lose it.
I'm really afraid I might lose it.
Come on, only take a sec.
[Andi] I know you
don't wanna hear from me,
but if you're at your office or home,
you need to leave right now.
(tense music)
Fuck, Levi, why aren't you picking up?
(tense music continues)
Levi!
(gasping)
Oh!
Andi!
(papers rustling)
Well,
you look like a reasonable person.
I can't figure for the life of me
why you want me in your life so badly.
My daughter was raped and
killed. I know who did it.
I thought I needed your help. I was wrong.
What, what made you think I
was like your final solution?
I don't know, I was just stupid.
You got that part right?
That woman, the junkie,
she was still alive.
What did you do with her?
You were there.
Hmm, St. Joseph's
not a monster.
Get up.
You rattled the hornet's nests, hmm?
The reason your friend down there
is wrapped in plastic and not you
is his admirable desire to
keep you out of harm's way.
[Radio Controller] Suspicious activity
reported at office lot 301 Olympic Avenue.
This is two Lima two,
I'm just up the road heading eastbound.
I can be there in a minute or two.
[Radio Controller] Two vehicles on site.
A blue late model 40 two
door and a gold 90 sedan.
Copy.
Because of you, I've, I've
been dragged into a matter
I don't care to be a part of.
And because I'm involved,
my partner is now involved.
And that's where the bigger problem lies.
Did you really think this little get up
is gonna fool anybody, hmm?
Just 'cause you cut your hair,
put some shit on your face.
I've never met you before.
Never?
That little charity shindig
at Cedarbrook, remember?
Been a while, hasn't it?
Hey, how's it going?
Honey, I want you to meet someone.
What are you gonna do to me?
This was about my son.
It's not about some
punk at a motel, was it?
Don't lie to me.
(tense music)
(muffled scream)
(knocking on window)
What are you doing here, sir?
I work here, seor,
waiting for someone inside.
- You work here?
- Yes. (speaking Spanish)
Let me see your license.
Think I left it inside the building.
You don't have it on you?
Keep your hands where I can see them, sir.
My id.
I don't care, I need to see your hands.
Did you hear me? Do it now.
(muffled scream)
I'm not gonna say it again!
Put your hands on the wheel!
Do it now!
Hello officer.
You work here?
Yeah, me and my colleague,
we were heading down to
the bar down the road.
Last I checked, this was
Levi Denk's place, where is he?
Yeah, he, he, lease it to me.
Do you wanna come inside?
It's all right.
(tense music)
Bleach, but more problems.
- You just moved in?
- Just last week.
I will show you the paperwork,
but everything is still at our old office.
- Okay.
- Who, who are you calling?
Your subletter, I've
known him for a few years.
(cellphone vibrating)
It is fine. You two have a good night.
Listen to me,
your car's gonna be down the road
a couple miles at the liquor
store if you want it back.
Now, you know that tonight
serve as a little learning
experience, right?
Because if I ever see your devious
cock sucking face again,
you understand, right? Good.
(tense music)
Fuck!
(coughing and gasping)
(water running)
(thunder rumbling)
Andi!
(door creaking)
(thunder rumbling)
(knocking at the door)
[Elan] Andi, you in there?
What the fuck, man?
Who are you?
I'm Whit, Whitney Harrison.
I'm a friend of Andi's.
Andi, it's important that
I talk to her. Where is she?
Wish I knew, man.
[Elan] When did, you see her last?
Last night. Who, who are you exactly?
I'm her ex-husband.
Thought you were in Florida?
And an attorney and not a-
Cop?
Listen, I don't know what
the fuck going on here,
but I'm pretty sure you just
came in here unlawfully.
And if I know Andi as
well as I think I do,
she'll have an issue with us, okay?
Exactly, how well do you know her?
Not sure I follow.
Natalie, how long have you two been-
- Natalie? Who, who's Natalie?
Get out.
(car engine starts)
Come on, get out.
Are you are just gonna
leave and not say shit?
I know, Whit, I know.
Where were you?
Could you, you can't even say.
I'm afraid to be home right now.
Somebody after you?
Who's Natalie?
You know what? I don't even
think it fucking matters.
Just tell me one thing that's true.
You owe me that much.
I'm a teacher. I was a teacher.
Maddy's dad made me quit
and a year later he left.
[Whit] So the cop, he's
your second husband then?
He talked to you?
Andi, what the hell's going on?
I wanted to tell you.
What about Maddy? Is she a lie too?
I would never lie about her.
Why you in trouble?
Jesus Christ, you just
completely full of shit,
aren't you?
You know what? I decided
I'm going to Phoenix alone.
I don't know if it was ever
your intention to follow
through with this, but I
gotta think of Gracie now.
Leave it at that.
Can I at least say goodbye to her?
I really hope you find
what you're looking for.
Definitely in her debt.
(emotional music)
[Announcer] You're
watching KJMR News at 11.
[News Presenter] Good evening,
a deadly fire in La Copa
takes two family members.
The latest details coming up.
But first, has the spike of
the synthetic opioid, Fentanyl,
now surpassed all other types
of drug use in our area.
The fuck are you doing here?
Checking on your mom.
I think I'm stupid, don't you?
How is she?
Not good.
Your friend Robby, I
need to know where he is.
It's Cheryl, right?
How you know my name?
Front desk sign in.
Cheryl, it's really important-
- Don't fucking touch me, yo!
Why are you following me
laying all this
cross-examination shit on me?
What the fuck are you looking at?
This bitch is harassing me.
All right, I'm sorry.
You're right, I shouldn't
have touched you.
I think you knew my
daughter, Maddy Deegan.
See, I'm not a cop.
(rain pattering)
That necklace?
I didn't steal it, okay?
She gave it to me.
Why?
You really want me to fucking answer that?
I only knew her a few weeks.
The police talked to you?
Yeah, they tried to.
There wasn't nothing to talk about.
They was trying to point
their finger at somebody,
but there wasn't no one to point it at.
Robby, he's the one?
What'd you say your name was again?
Natalie.
Right.
Look, Natalie,
you know she OD'ed, right?
Yeah.
And that them two was together?
Yeah, they found her next to him sleeping.
That's about as much
as they could tell me.
No, I mean like they was together.
Robby was her boyfriend.
You knew that, right?
I mean, seriously, they,
they got high together
like all the time.
I'm, I'm honestly surprised
it didn't happen sooner.
- Pull the car over.
- Huh?
Pull the fucking car over.
Jesus. All right.
Okay,
I need you to tell me where your pimp is.
He ain't my fucking pimp.
Don't you fucking lie to me, okay?
I know you are conditioned
to say certain things
and that's fine.
What you are doing,
honey, it's only a matter of time for you.
Are you trying to protect him?
Tell me where he is.
(tense music)
I am probably the last person
that you expect to see.
Gimme one good fucking reason
why I shouldn't jump across this table
and choke the life outta you.
If you do that, who's
gonna pay your bail?
(club music with beat)
Hey. Hey man, have you
talked to Kay lately?
- Who?
- Kay, man.
He's blowing my fucking shit up
saying something about
giving the jump outta county
on some possession charge.
Dude, he wants to, he
wants to see me, man.
Look man, don't fuck with
that again, bro, all right?
You know that nigga ain't
looking to catch up.
No fucking shit, man, but
I can't just ignore him.
Hey, look baby, baby.
Hey, go over there, go over over there.
I don't know man, okay? I don't know.
Kay, what's up fool? I saw you called.
Yeah, it's been a while
man. It's been a while.
I thought you bugged
out on me or something.
Oh, you know, man.
Yeah, I'm around.
Yeah, I'm just chilling my homies, dude.
Yep.
Hey look, I, I'd really rather
not tell you that right now.
Hello?
Kay?
Kay?
(crowd chattering in the background)
It's one in the afternoon, you know?
What do you want?
He here?
What you been saying?
You think I talked to him about you?
[Robby] Well, he seems
to think I'm the reason why
he got locked up.
What you want me to say, fool?
He gets an idea in his head and it sticks.
How the fuck did it get in there?
Hey, somebody saying something.
You two, you spell tight and shit,
why don't you call him and ask him?
I haven't seen him in six months, nigga,
Why the fuck would I say shit?
Fuck!
(knocking on the window)
You wanna know where
he is? There you go.
(water running)
[Maddy] Hello?
Be right down.
(indistinct muffled talking)
(tense music)
(country rock music playing)
I'm telling you this will
go a whole lot smoother
if you had another smoke to roll.
Forget it.
What are you doing?
I'll see if he wants to smooth shit out
or if he's trying to get the jump on us,
but better have it and not need it, right?
I know Kay, this nigga's not
someone you just talked to.
Something's up, man. I know it.
I'm all willing to take
a bullet for a good reason,
but this shit don't seem sane.
Yo, you want him to show up unannounced?
Shit.
Yeah, we got madden bandage on him, man.
I know this bitch, he's
got no one up in his crib
except for maybe a couple nasty-ass hoes.
You good, brother?
[Andi] Shit.
(tense music)
- What the fuck you doing?
- Fuck him, man.
I am fucking tired of this bullshit.
You with me or not?
(door breaks)
(gun fires)
(gun fires)
Oh fuck.
Oh fuck.
(tense music continues)
Robby!
(car brakes screech)
No, no, no, no, no. Oh fuck.
(car tires screeching)
Oh God.
Robby!
[Cheryl] Robby?
Come on. Get up.
Get up, come on, let's go. Get outta here.
[Cheryl] What the fuck, man?
(door slams)
(cellphone ringing)
- What?
- Turn on the radio, 95.9.
(radio scanning)
[Radio News Reader]
Authorities are responding
to a tip received just moments ago.
Again, police are looking
for another gunman
described by witnesses as a
Caucasian male, shaved head,
in his late teens or early twenties.
He left the scene in a dark
colored Hyundai and police are-
- Fuck!
(tense music)
(cellphone ringing)
[Robby] I already know who she is.
Robby, where are you?
The old place.
Dad, I'm hurt real bad.
There was a car.
I'm so sorry, dad.
It's okay. Listen, you
call an ambulance, okay?
I cannot do that.
They'll track me. You have to do it.
Robby!
Yeah.
Is she there?
Yeah, she's here.
- Is anybody else there?
- No.
[Harland] Put her on the phone.
Listen to me,
you know this isn't gonna
solve your problems, right?
He's just a boy who made a mistake.
He's the reason she's
not here. Your son.
[Harland] Natalie, right?
You're not gonna get yourself
dirty. That's not who you are.
Now listen to me, do one decent
thing and call an ambulance.
You don't who I am.
Right, you win, okay? You beat me.
But do you understand
what's gonna happen to you
if you don't help my son?
I'm sorry, Harland,
he's already dead.
You fucking...
When I find you and you
know I will find you.
I will rip your God
damn fucking heart out!
(tense music)
(screaming)
I didn't, I didn't mean to let her die.
(somber music)
This states that everything you told us
to your knowledge is factual
and that you're willing to go to court
testifying to the same if required.
Will you sign this?
Are you sure there's
nothing you want to tell us
about Natalie Deegan
or what happened to Kay Brown?
This is your last chance?
Sorry, I never met her.
(knocking at the door)
Higher, baby, than any mountain
Deeper than the deepest sea, oh yeah
I want, I want you to hold on me
Oh my darling,
Darling, darling oh
my, eternally, oh yeah
Listen
You gave me all the love
I need, oh yes indeed
The way you kiss me,
My darling, darling, darling,
darling, it's heavenly
Oh, the last night, baby,
You gave me your love so willingly
And forever the feeling will
linger on, for eternally
And baby, baby, baby
I know, oh I know
The love we have for each other
Is stronger, yes it is
Than any limb on a tree, oh yeah
And when you kissed me
And leave me
(man sniffs)
(banging on the door)
(man coughs)
[Man] What the fuck is going on?
Oh shit.
- Shit.
- Go, go, go.
[Man] Maddy, wake up.
Maddy, Maddy, it's the cops.
You gotta get the fuck out of here.
Shit, Maddy, wake up.
Maddy, wake up.
Maddy!
(door smashes open)
- Let me see your hands!
- Wake up, Maddy, wake up!
- Get away from her!
- She's not waking up!
- Hey, what's her name?
- She's not waking up, man.
[Man] No, no, I didn't
give her anything.
[Cop] Hey guy, what's her name?
- Maddy.
- Maddy, can you hear me?
[Man] Get your hands
off me. Maddy, wake up!
[Cop] Maddy, if you can
hear me, take a breath for me.
[Man] Get away. No, I
didn't give her anything.
[Cop] Don't give me that, bro.
(crosstalk)
[Man] Maddy, wake up. Wake the fuck up!
[Cop] Come on. Big
breath, Maddy, big breath-
- [News Reporter] This
is the south La Copa home
where 17 year old Madeline
Deegan was found dead
a few weeks ago.
It's known by some as a frequent hangout
for illicit drug use and drinking.
It was the focus of a raid
the morning Deegan's body was discovered
leading to the arrest of six
adults and three juveniles.
Because of the mix of
drugs in Deegan system,
charges were discussed
but were not pursued by law enforcement.
Her death has been ruled accidental
and no further investigation
will take place.
Her father, Tacomish Tribal
Police Sergeant, Elan Deegan,
and her mother...
(tense music)
(dog barking in the distance)
(vegetables crunching)
(deep quick inhale)
(tense music)
Maddy!
(door squeaks)
Bug.
(deep breathing)
(deep panting)
My daughter was raped and killed.
I know who did it.
I thought I needed your help.
I was wrong.
(tin can rattling)
Yeah, they don't stick around long.
These kids find an empty spot to party.
The cops get called after a couple nights
and they move on to the next.
Trying to find someone
who even knows this kid
is hard enough.
Good news is, I think this will help you
when we do find him.
You've got a tracking app and everything.
Yeah, I know, it's a fossil,
but it's undetectable if anyone finds it.
All you gotta do is log
into your email and voila.
Keep the "do not disturb" on.
You don't wanna answer this one?
Okay.
I also got a long life
battery in there, just in case.
Just make sure to keep it charged.
Hey, Deegan.
You know we're gonna find
this little fucker, right?
Are you smoking now?
You smell like it.
I gotta go.
Vacuum cleaners?
Been a little slow here lately.
You're selling vacuum cleaners now?
What of it? You want one?
Ow.
(country rock music
playing in the background)
[Whit] You're getting good.
You did exactly what you
told me, no more than 10 bucks.
I said a few bucks.
You know we could quadruple
the amount of money we make.
Let's not get greedy, babe.
I gotta cash these, he's got his limits.
Well, can I meet this mystery man then?
I got my limits too.
You got a real problem
trusting me, don't you?
Don't act like this is
all for me, all right?
Fine. Can we just not
do it 50 feet from work?
This is stupid.
These people are fucking retards.
They don't know what's going on here.
Let's go to your place then.
That's not what I meant.
This stuff really stresses you out, huh?
No, it's not that.
I just, um...
The kid I think, think I can find him.
How?
- Just... Nevermind, okay.
- Yeah.
Listen, if you like, we
could come back to my place.
We could talk about it.
We go to your place too.
Oh, I have this rule, I
don't take work home with me.
Oh,
a rule.
(heaving breathing)
Knocks me off of my feet
every time I see him
Handsome
Handsome man
I don't even know his name
I don't know where he lives
(moaning and groaning)
But he's still to blame
For all the misery he gives
Because he's handsome
Oh, so handsome
(glass shattering)
Gentle and sweet
Knocks me off of my feet
every time I see him
Handsome
(moaning and groaning)
Handsome man
Handsome man
(dog barking)
Who can he be
Ooh, he's just right
(moaning and groaning)
Just right for me
'Cause he's handsome
Oh, so handsome
(heavy breathing)
- Daddy.
- I'll get her.
Okay, I got it.
[Looney Tunes Character]
Pull a knife on me, would ya?
Why you...
[Levi] So that's the plan, huh?
Give the tracker to some criminal.
He's not what you think,
okay? He grew up here.
He knows a lot of people.
I'm gonna use that.
[Levi] So, hmm, okay,
so you get close to him
and he helps track the kid.
Basically, what you're telling me is,
you're playing this guy?
I mean, if that's what it
is, just fucking say so.
I'm gonna take any
opportunity I can, all right?
I was gonna ask him to do it last night,
but yeah, it wasn't the right time.
[Levi] Just watch your back.
Not everyone is looking
out for your best interest.
Hang on, hang on, what is this?
Just got our first tracker location email.
Has the phone's out in Eagle's Nest?
You holding out on me?
Who'd you get the phone to?
[Andi] Shit. Shit.
[TV Actor] Anyway,
it's just a rough sketch.
Pretty small mouth, eh?
Oh, well.
[TV Actor] Give her that Crawford smear.
This will give her the heat between here.
We are on the wrong track.
She still looks surprised.
(cellphone vibrating)
[TV Actress] Mr. Smith is not in.
[Andi] How'd you get my number?
I got word you had a car break in.
[Andi] Oh yeah? What about it?
You should have called me first.
[Andi] Elan, how do you even
know about it? I didn't...
Look, it's fine. It's probably
just some stupid kids.
No reason to call, actually,
No? That doesn't sound like you.
[Andi] Elan,
I'm kind of in the middle
of dinner right now,
so I gotta go, okay?
All right, here, here's the thing.
Tribal PD did get a call last night.
A good Samaritan who
witnessed the break in,
called it in with a description.
We got an ID on them.
Some woman who's been around your casino
and her junkie boyfriend.
They've been arrested a couple times
at an abandoned place
a couple of miles out.
Had it's fair share of
bust over the last year,
you know, druggie squatters and whatnot.
We keep breaking them up, but
they just keep coming back.
Elan, I appreciate what you're doing,
but I can take care of it.
[Elan] You know, that's
not how this works, right?
You are such a...
Cop.
Listen, I, I'm already here, all right?
I know this isn't my area,
but I had a couple of minutes to spare.
Yeah, of course, you're already there.
All I'm trying to do
is help you get your stuff back.
And...
It's good to hear your
voice again, by the way.
[Andi] Well, I gotta go.
So let me know if you find something.
(rain pattering)
(thunder rumbling)
(cellphone ringing)
Deegan here.
I'm coming out.
What'd you find?
What's with the...
Just tell me what you found.
This is how you greet
me? It's been 11 months.
Recognize it's chicken
scratch on the pages.
[Andi] Is that it?
Assuming they stole the phone,
it's already been sold to trade it up.
(cellphone vibrating)
Who's that?
No one.
Wait, what is this?
Hey, just don't worry about it.
I know you've been keeping
tabs on me, I'm not stupid.
- Define keeping tabs.
- With Levi.
He's almost as bad liar as he are.
So you are working with him?
That's about the stupidest
idea you've ever had. Levi.
You know, you and I,
we don't exist anymore.
So what I do and who I work
with is none of your business.
(thunder clapping)
Look, please stay out of it.
I know you're just doing
your job or whatever,
but I don't want you to
go out of your way for me.
Maddy wasn't my blood,
but I was her father.
She took my name and I-
I know.
I know.
(thunder clapping)
You left everything, me, our home.
I don't even recognize you anymore.
I don't need your help.
(rain pattering)
(car door slams)
(front door slams)
(tense music)
The person who stole my
bag with the tracker,
she's been prowling
the casino for a while.
- Yeah, what about her?
- I can't be sure,
[Andi] But I think I've
seen her daughter there too.
Somehow she knew Maddy.
How'd you find all this
out, huh? Some woman stole it.
And how the hell would
you know they're related.
[Andi] I don't sleep much, Levi.
Well, as your service provider,
I strongly recommend that you
visit that tracker location.
You said this kid's a dealer.
Well, it might be a connection there
if your thief is a dope head.
I looked it up.
The partial number leads to
an HD Maritime Solutions,
whatever that is.
No listing for that either.
You listening to me?
Yeah, I'm here.
Look, Deegan, I know how you
get, all right? Understandably.
Now this is an emotional
time right now, I get that.
But I, I don't want you
getting all distracted
and, and unfocused, okay?
This is, it's, it's really critical
that you follow these leads.
[Andi] Shut up and gimme a second.
[Levi] Oh, come on, what's the holdup?
She may be the last person
to see my daughter alive.
[Levi] And you don't
know that, all right?
Okay, look, I'm not
gonna go to another house
it turns out to be some
vacated druggie hangout.
[Levi] Whatever, fine. You
do what you want, all right?
But you're running the show around here
and I'm just here for my enjoyment?
You said HD Maritime?
[Levi] Maritime Solutions, yeah. Why?
Deegan?
Can you send me that
address? I know that name.
(tense music)
(papers rustling)
(tense music continues)
Oh shit.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh God. Okay.
Shit!
Oh God.
Hey!
Please. Oh God.
(gasping)
Bitch, you're on private property.
(groaning and gasping)
(grunting)
(coughing and gasping)
(door creaking)
[Harland] What the fuck?
God damn tornado's been in here.
Who's is all this?
[Man 2] What do you think?
[Harland] That's ruined.
Add that to the list.
Just bulldoze this to the ground.
[Man 2] What's that?
I think I may have found the source.
Is she dead?
You wanna check? Be my guest.
[Vagrant] Get him off of me.
This is my house, motherfucker!
[Harland] Really?
Who do you send your
mortgage payments too?
- We have rights.
- You've been misinformed.
- I found it.
- See this? Look familiar?
[Harland] My son had it.
And to my surprise, a picture
of you on my property.
Another picture of you.
Terrible photo there.
And your girlfriend, hmm?
You know if I had to guess
I'd say you probably lifted it
then traded up for that
little toxic cocktail
your girl in there took.
[Vagrant] No, I didn't steal anything.
Yeah, of course you didn't.
You and your corpse bride
in there are here illegally.
This is my house, not yours.
So I'm not laying a finger
on that carcass in there.
But you are gonna drag
her ass out right now
before she starts decomposing,
leaking fluids everywhere.
Fucking hear me, boy?
[Vagrant] You can't do this
man. Fucking sue your ass.
I'll be in here and your shit
will be out on the street.
You and your little spick buddy.
(groaning and grunting)
(tense music)
Excuse me, do you know a Harland Dunn?
You just call me when you lonely
(Buster's Place by Keith Stone playing)
(patrons chattering in the background)
Harland, right?
I know you?
Is that your boat out there?
Could be. Why?
I think you should tell me
how you put this whole
thing together exactly
'cause it still seems
just a little bit odd.
The phone has a tracking app.
Call the cops?
Is that what you prefer?
Hell no. I'm just curious.
I wanted to take care of it, you know?
Why get him involved.
Look a little dazed.
I've never been really good on boats.
Not even moving.
Remind me never to ask you to
help me dump a body at sea.
Her you go.
[Andi] Did you find this
at the abandoned house?
Yeah. Excuse me for one second.
(banging on the door)
Racking on a basic.
(girl singing)
It's my birthday baby,
time to bring a cake in
[Robby] Yo, what the
fuck? What you doing?
What if I told you no one
comes down here but you?
Now get your chill baby outta here.
I don't wanna see her again.
I see the concentration camp
still on fucking lockdown.
I see-
- Put your shirt on, all
right? We got company.
[Andi] So what do you do exactly?
Maritime supply. You
know, maintenance, repair.
What do you do?
I, I work at a casino.
Oh, so you got kids.
[Andi] What about you?
So you live here alone?
Robby.
He stays here from time to time.
My boys had run-ins with the wrong people.
So I'm, you know, trying to
extricate him the best I can.
Sometimes the apple doesn't
fall apart from the tree
and sometimes it doesn't fall at all.
I see.
All right.
Hey, I'm sorry about the trouble
my impromptu tenants caused ya.
Get that for ya.
Constellation prize.
Better than cardboard.
Sure we haven't seen each other before?
I think I just have one of those faces.
Thanks again.
Sure.
(tense music)
- Levi-
- Before you say anything.
[Levi] Why is Elan calling me
asking if we're working together?
How the hell does he know?
Just hold on a second.
Listen to me.
[Levi] When you said you,
you did your own homework,
I thought you meant on your own.
None of that matters.
I know where he is.
I found out where the kid is.
That, that's great.
[Levi] But if, if I know your ex,
it's just going,
None of this matters.
It's a stupid power trip.
[Levi] Wait a second,
wait. You knew about this.
You knew he was on this whole
scheme and you didn't tell me.
We are so close.
We have been working on
this that for months.
[Levi] That's it. It's over.
This is over. I, I'm done, okay?
I, yeah, I think you should
seriously consider it too.
Levi, li-
Levi!
[Harland] Hey.
What the fuck? Get the fuck-
- Perfect. You stealing again then, huh?
Get the fuck off of me, dude.
That woman's shit was
stolen from her car.
And why am I finding her phone
with dope head glamour
photos in your room, huh?
Man, eat a dick, bitch.
I didn't steal shit.
(groaning)
I met your funky-ass
customers at the house.
Tell me, what's the going
rate for a two bed one bath
on the east side?
You're a fucking property agent now?
You're about an inch for
being homeless yourself, man.
Because there's nothing I can do for you
when you're out from underneath my roof.
Look, it's my boy, Spoons, okay?
He bartered with a couple dope fiends
and, and, and I paid him some cash for it.
That's it.
Yeah, sure it is.
No, that's the fucking truth, man.
Yeah, and I also know
that you two dumb asses
are running a homeless
shelter at my property.
Man, you got me here
22 hours a fucking day.
When do I have time to
go to my old crib, man?
Don't ice me like I'm a fucking punk.
You're the fucking hypocrite.
And you are outta here tonight.
You're going to my place.
Yo. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
You're kidding me, right?
I can't trust you, Robby.
This is how it's gonna be.
- No luck finding your bag?
- No.
If I told you the latest ticket cow,
would that make you feel better?
Why are you doing this... stealing?
'Cause I need it.
Gracie needs it
Because you could get a
different job when they paid more?
Right. Okay.
What about you then?
- You know why.
- I'm not sure I do exactly.
Before you said it was
about scraping enough cash
to put this kid in jail, right?
It doesn't really seem
that way to me anymore.
I think you enjoy it.
I think you enjoy breaking the rules.
That's the kind of person that you are.
My options are limited.
What are you getting at, exactly?
I need your help.
I want this kid to feel what Maddy did.
I want him to know that he can't get away
with something like that.
So what you're asking
me to what, what...
You're asking me to kill this kid?
He's not a kid, technically, okay?
I can't do it by myself.
Sell this fucker off to you.
Look, Andi, I'm, I'm not a
hit man. I'm not a hit man.
I realize that, but listen to me.
We can make it look like a break-in.
I have this whole thing figured
out, I know how to find him.
Andi, are you outta your fucking mind?
You just got mental.
I thought you said he
fucking deserved this.
I thought you said if you ever met him,
you'd punch a hole in him and
wear him like a sock puppet.
That's what you said to me.
That kid is a thug.
He's probably running around
with a bunch of like murderers
and rapists and shit.
You know, you don't know
what he's capable of.
Where are your fucking balls, Whit?
All right. All right.
We're not talking about this here, okay?
You want, you wanna fuck
first and then we'll chat?
Because we can do that.
[Film Actor 1] Last thing they told me
was that they thought you
were missing on her own.
[Film Actor 2] Is that what you think?
[Film Actor 1] To tell you the truth,
I don't think about it too much.
I try not to.
Wendy's gone and that's
the way it's gonna stay.
[Film Actor 2] Well,
do you mind if I ask you,
was she acting strangely at
all before she went missing?
[Film Actor 1] I mean,
there is something...
Sorry, I know you.
I'm bad with names, but Nadine, is it?
Natalie?
That's not my name.
Peter Shepherd. Shepherd Cadillac.
Your husband's Frank.
We met a while back.
Can you leave me alone, please?
No, no, I'm sorry.
Look, I know it a few years
ago, but how's Frank doing?
It was her, right?
Well, that one is 1,295,
but this weekend we're
doing a special for $1,100.
Yeah. Yeah, dual suction motor
and yeah, I, I gotta call
you back in a minute, okay?
I found him. The cell phone worked.
Oh yeah. Yeah, that, that's great.
But I'm in the middle of
trying to keep the lights on.
Levi, we need to move
on this because he can-
- Ah, did you not hear me before?
I have heard what you said.
- He might leave tomorrow.
- I can't help you.
Levi, fucking listen to me!
What exactly are you going to do?
Call the cops? Beat him up?
The police won't pursue it.
You're chasing your tail.
So you've just been taking my money
for the last six months then, huh?
Oh, you, you want your money back? Fine.
Worth not having this on my conscience.
I don't want the money back.
I need your help one last time.
I've seen it with my own
eyes. They're criminals.
I need a recording,
one we can plant.
A bug?
If I can get proof and show someone,
you and I can put him away.
Look, I'd give it to you,
but you can't set it up yourself.
I swear to God, if
you help me with this,
you will never see me ever again.
(tense music)
- Is that the boat?
- Yeah.
- What's going on?
- Keep going.
What are you doing?
Like walking through a fucking drug deal?
Let's get the fuck outta here.
Let's go.
(boat engine revving)
We need to go.
[Andi] Hey, calm down.
Have a good life, Deegan.
We don't know who that was.
It could have been anybody.
Yeah, I'm not sticking
around to fucking find out.
Take your money.
Levi, please
(car engine starting)
Let it go.
Get out of my fucking truck!
(tense music continues)
Hey.
[Cheryl] No chicks. Move the fuck along.
I got 50 bucks.
A hundred?
I don't eat no pussy,
bitch. Just an FYI.
I just need some company.
Meet me in room 118.
Room's 30 bucks.
Okay.
(tense music)
(muffled talking)
(police siren wailing in the distance)
(knocking at the door)
Come in.
What are those?
Amy's right here to help them.
That's a pretty necklace.
Where'd you get it?
[Cheryl] Don't remember.
- You got a name?
- It's Andi. What's yours?
- You got a preference, Andi?
- No.
You one of those?
- I just wanna talk.
- Right?
All right, fucking talk then.
Who's the guy in the other room?
He's just a friend.
He don't like me talking
about him, though.
- So do you have a family?
- Maybe.
Do you have a dad or a mom?
I need to know if you know somebody.
His name is Robby.
Robby?
Why you wanna know about him?
(banging on the door)
[Kay] Yo, you still here. I
told you to go the fuck home.
What? Are you on your
own program now, huh?
Why the fuck I always feel
I gotta babysit you, bitch?
I told you to take a hike!
So grab all your pink,
furry shit and bounce!
Is this your fucking mom's or something?
- No.
- What the fuck is up?
I paid, okay? We're good.
Stay put.
So what's up with you?
Is this your first time?
You kind of dope?
I don't know though. Something
ain't clicking, right?
Like bumping uglies is what's
on your mind right now.
What the fuck is you doing here?
She just wanted to chat.
Chat? That's it?
Want a little chitty-chat?
Is you a cop or something?
- No.
- Is she a cop?
I'm not a cop.
You smell like one
except for them tatts.
You sure in as hell look like one?
I look like a lot of people.
Kay, come on.
(gasping)
Kay.
(coughing)
See, this shit is fake.
That's fake as the re-
(screaming)
(tense music)
(door slams)
(water running)
(gasping)
To hell with this.
- Yeah?
- You awake?
- I wanna see you.
- Right now?
Is that okay?
Hey.
Why do you go to the
movies all the time alone?
Why do you ask?
It's just strange.
You were right.
I don't know what I was thinking.
Especially at the casino
Andi, I'm quitting.
What?
Yeah, think it's, I
think it's run its course.
Wait a minute, I think...
What do you think about Arizona?
- I don't know, it's hot.
- Well, not always.
More than most places.
Why are you asking me about Arizona?
Would you ever want to go there?
Like to visit? No.
To live?
What are you saying?
Well, Renee's moving to Phoenix
and Gracie's going with her.
And if I want to see her, again,
then I'm gonna have to go with her.
When?
Soon.
Why are you asking me?
It's a lot easier if you come with me.
I don't know.
Think about it, okay?
And think about this.
In 20 or 30 years when
California falls into the ocean,
Arizona property value's gonna skyrocket.
(somber music)
[Film Actor 3] You'll
get a second chance
with Father Thomas.
Well, it's, it's
complicated. Him and witches.
You may have heard something
about his relationship
with Hester.
Tabitha, listen to me.
[Tabitha] Sorry. Yeah, I'm listening.
I have to...
- What I miss?
- Ssh.
Did Melanie drop you off?
No, it was just some guy that I know.
What boy?
Mom, I'm trying to watch the movie.
(emotional music)
I'm sorry, bug.
God damn thing.
Hey, when are we gonna get
one of them whatchamacallits?
You know, it's a lot of
names for a 72 hour period,
especially for such a small space.
[Cop 2] Well, it's easy
when you don't spend the whole night.
[Cop 3] How many in number 118?
Eleven. Three on Monday.
Nothing?
The camera's garbage.
- They're the worst.
- What? I like-
- Are we doing this?
You saying what I think you're saying?
Yeah. If the offer still stands.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Okay.
We, we should celebrate a couple shots.
No, another time.
She's not in my arms
Harland, someone's here to see you.
Thanks.
- Swiss army knife.
- With your name on it.
Yeah, I toss them out all the time.
Fishermen like to cut
line. Pop beers with them.
And now a weapon of choice.
You and I know you got a sheet.
Why don't just tell me
who you've been handing
these out to recently.
And you can be on your merry way.
Hell if I know, it's
been a couple months.
You just said you hand
them out all the time.
You know what I mean?
Tossing the people on the water.
- New clients
- And their names.
Look, friend, I don't
keep a roll of decks.
I wouldn't call myself
a savvy businessman.
But if you're looking to
dig into every single person
in my network,
you're gonna upset a
lot of perfectly legit
working class guys
who I'll have to deal with later.
And may I say thank you for
coming here of all places.
You'd rather do this at your residence?
The blood came off a young hood.
So if we could prevent some
kind of provocation by arrival
or whatever this is,
it's gonna save me a lot of work later.
Look, I'm not here to tie you to anything,
but you get no sympathy from
me for the inconvenience.
I just want peace and
fucking quiet on the res.
I'm sure you want that too.
[Motivator] Failure Should inspire you
to acquire more knowledge, gain humility,
and open your eyes to
greater opportunities.
Remember the four most important things
you should be able to
do as an entrepreneur.
Learn from your mistakes.
Take calculated risks.
Choose your battles.
[Levi] Don't make me
call the cops on your ass.
[Motivator] With selling
yourself and your business.
Why you selling, most important?
Look at like learning a new language.
It's total emotional.
It's not just part of a 9 to 5 job.
It's a whole different approach
to people, relationships,
and your lifestyle.
Shit man, I, look, look,
if this is about the other
night, I, I already fired her.
(gun fires)
[Motivator] Assertive
about what's important to you
while truly listening to
what others have to offer.
Five, six, seven, eight, nine,
10, 11, 12.
I'm really close to home.
Eleven.
Hello?
[Harland] Andi, it's Harland.
Bad time?
How'd you get my number?
[Harland] Terrible control
of information at the casino,
I must say.
Sorry, I know this is
strange or I don't know,
maybe you're used to it,
but I wanted to call and
see how you're doing.
I'm good.
[Harland] I was afraid I
wasn't gonna get a chance
to ever see you again.
Listen, I, I found the
adapter for your phone.
I would've just delivered it in person,
but it'd probably be impolite
to just stop by your place unannounced.
Thought instead, we
could meet up somewhere.
Yeah, I already have an
adapter. That's not mine.
[Harland] No, no, it's,
it's definitely yours.
Why don't I meet you and you can grab it.
Yeah, now's not a really good time.
[Harland] Andi, I don't wanna lose it.
I'm really afraid I might lose it.
Come on, only take a sec.
[Andi] I know you
don't wanna hear from me,
but if you're at your office or home,
you need to leave right now.
(tense music)
Fuck, Levi, why aren't you picking up?
(tense music continues)
Levi!
(gasping)
Oh!
Andi!
(papers rustling)
Well,
you look like a reasonable person.
I can't figure for the life of me
why you want me in your life so badly.
My daughter was raped and
killed. I know who did it.
I thought I needed your help. I was wrong.
What, what made you think I
was like your final solution?
I don't know, I was just stupid.
You got that part right?
That woman, the junkie,
she was still alive.
What did you do with her?
You were there.
Hmm, St. Joseph's
not a monster.
Get up.
You rattled the hornet's nests, hmm?
The reason your friend down there
is wrapped in plastic and not you
is his admirable desire to
keep you out of harm's way.
[Radio Controller] Suspicious activity
reported at office lot 301 Olympic Avenue.
This is two Lima two,
I'm just up the road heading eastbound.
I can be there in a minute or two.
[Radio Controller] Two vehicles on site.
A blue late model 40 two
door and a gold 90 sedan.
Copy.
Because of you, I've, I've
been dragged into a matter
I don't care to be a part of.
And because I'm involved,
my partner is now involved.
And that's where the bigger problem lies.
Did you really think this little get up
is gonna fool anybody, hmm?
Just 'cause you cut your hair,
put some shit on your face.
I've never met you before.
Never?
That little charity shindig
at Cedarbrook, remember?
Been a while, hasn't it?
Hey, how's it going?
Honey, I want you to meet someone.
What are you gonna do to me?
This was about my son.
It's not about some
punk at a motel, was it?
Don't lie to me.
(tense music)
(muffled scream)
(knocking on window)
What are you doing here, sir?
I work here, seor,
waiting for someone inside.
- You work here?
- Yes. (speaking Spanish)
Let me see your license.
Think I left it inside the building.
You don't have it on you?
Keep your hands where I can see them, sir.
My id.
I don't care, I need to see your hands.
Did you hear me? Do it now.
(muffled scream)
I'm not gonna say it again!
Put your hands on the wheel!
Do it now!
Hello officer.
You work here?
Yeah, me and my colleague,
we were heading down to
the bar down the road.
Last I checked, this was
Levi Denk's place, where is he?
Yeah, he, he, lease it to me.
Do you wanna come inside?
It's all right.
(tense music)
Bleach, but more problems.
- You just moved in?
- Just last week.
I will show you the paperwork,
but everything is still at our old office.
- Okay.
- Who, who are you calling?
Your subletter, I've
known him for a few years.
(cellphone vibrating)
It is fine. You two have a good night.
Listen to me,
your car's gonna be down the road
a couple miles at the liquor
store if you want it back.
Now, you know that tonight
serve as a little learning
experience, right?
Because if I ever see your devious
cock sucking face again,
you understand, right? Good.
(tense music)
Fuck!
(coughing and gasping)
(water running)
(thunder rumbling)
Andi!
(door creaking)
(thunder rumbling)
(knocking at the door)
[Elan] Andi, you in there?
What the fuck, man?
Who are you?
I'm Whit, Whitney Harrison.
I'm a friend of Andi's.
Andi, it's important that
I talk to her. Where is she?
Wish I knew, man.
[Elan] When did, you see her last?
Last night. Who, who are you exactly?
I'm her ex-husband.
Thought you were in Florida?
And an attorney and not a-
Cop?
Listen, I don't know what
the fuck going on here,
but I'm pretty sure you just
came in here unlawfully.
And if I know Andi as
well as I think I do,
she'll have an issue with us, okay?
Exactly, how well do you know her?
Not sure I follow.
Natalie, how long have you two been-
- Natalie? Who, who's Natalie?
Get out.
(car engine starts)
Come on, get out.
Are you are just gonna
leave and not say shit?
I know, Whit, I know.
Where were you?
Could you, you can't even say.
I'm afraid to be home right now.
Somebody after you?
Who's Natalie?
You know what? I don't even
think it fucking matters.
Just tell me one thing that's true.
You owe me that much.
I'm a teacher. I was a teacher.
Maddy's dad made me quit
and a year later he left.
[Whit] So the cop, he's
your second husband then?
He talked to you?
Andi, what the hell's going on?
I wanted to tell you.
What about Maddy? Is she a lie too?
I would never lie about her.
Why you in trouble?
Jesus Christ, you just
completely full of shit,
aren't you?
You know what? I decided
I'm going to Phoenix alone.
I don't know if it was ever
your intention to follow
through with this, but I
gotta think of Gracie now.
Leave it at that.
Can I at least say goodbye to her?
I really hope you find
what you're looking for.
Definitely in her debt.
(emotional music)
[Announcer] You're
watching KJMR News at 11.
[News Presenter] Good evening,
a deadly fire in La Copa
takes two family members.
The latest details coming up.
But first, has the spike of
the synthetic opioid, Fentanyl,
now surpassed all other types
of drug use in our area.
The fuck are you doing here?
Checking on your mom.
I think I'm stupid, don't you?
How is she?
Not good.
Your friend Robby, I
need to know where he is.
It's Cheryl, right?
How you know my name?
Front desk sign in.
Cheryl, it's really important-
- Don't fucking touch me, yo!
Why are you following me
laying all this
cross-examination shit on me?
What the fuck are you looking at?
This bitch is harassing me.
All right, I'm sorry.
You're right, I shouldn't
have touched you.
I think you knew my
daughter, Maddy Deegan.
See, I'm not a cop.
(rain pattering)
That necklace?
I didn't steal it, okay?
She gave it to me.
Why?
You really want me to fucking answer that?
I only knew her a few weeks.
The police talked to you?
Yeah, they tried to.
There wasn't nothing to talk about.
They was trying to point
their finger at somebody,
but there wasn't no one to point it at.
Robby, he's the one?
What'd you say your name was again?
Natalie.
Right.
Look, Natalie,
you know she OD'ed, right?
Yeah.
And that them two was together?
Yeah, they found her next to him sleeping.
That's about as much
as they could tell me.
No, I mean like they was together.
Robby was her boyfriend.
You knew that, right?
I mean, seriously, they,
they got high together
like all the time.
I'm, I'm honestly surprised
it didn't happen sooner.
- Pull the car over.
- Huh?
Pull the fucking car over.
Jesus. All right.
Okay,
I need you to tell me where your pimp is.
He ain't my fucking pimp.
Don't you fucking lie to me, okay?
I know you are conditioned
to say certain things
and that's fine.
What you are doing,
honey, it's only a matter of time for you.
Are you trying to protect him?
Tell me where he is.
(tense music)
I am probably the last person
that you expect to see.
Gimme one good fucking reason
why I shouldn't jump across this table
and choke the life outta you.
If you do that, who's
gonna pay your bail?
(club music with beat)
Hey. Hey man, have you
talked to Kay lately?
- Who?
- Kay, man.
He's blowing my fucking shit up
saying something about
giving the jump outta county
on some possession charge.
Dude, he wants to, he
wants to see me, man.
Look man, don't fuck with
that again, bro, all right?
You know that nigga ain't
looking to catch up.
No fucking shit, man, but
I can't just ignore him.
Hey, look baby, baby.
Hey, go over there, go over over there.
I don't know man, okay? I don't know.
Kay, what's up fool? I saw you called.
Yeah, it's been a while
man. It's been a while.
I thought you bugged
out on me or something.
Oh, you know, man.
Yeah, I'm around.
Yeah, I'm just chilling my homies, dude.
Yep.
Hey look, I, I'd really rather
not tell you that right now.
Hello?
Kay?
Kay?
(crowd chattering in the background)
It's one in the afternoon, you know?
What do you want?
He here?
What you been saying?
You think I talked to him about you?
[Robby] Well, he seems
to think I'm the reason why
he got locked up.
What you want me to say, fool?
He gets an idea in his head and it sticks.
How the fuck did it get in there?
Hey, somebody saying something.
You two, you spell tight and shit,
why don't you call him and ask him?
I haven't seen him in six months, nigga,
Why the fuck would I say shit?
Fuck!
(knocking on the window)
You wanna know where
he is? There you go.
(water running)
[Maddy] Hello?
Be right down.
(indistinct muffled talking)
(tense music)
(country rock music playing)
I'm telling you this will
go a whole lot smoother
if you had another smoke to roll.
Forget it.
What are you doing?
I'll see if he wants to smooth shit out
or if he's trying to get the jump on us,
but better have it and not need it, right?
I know Kay, this nigga's not
someone you just talked to.
Something's up, man. I know it.
I'm all willing to take
a bullet for a good reason,
but this shit don't seem sane.
Yo, you want him to show up unannounced?
Shit.
Yeah, we got madden bandage on him, man.
I know this bitch, he's
got no one up in his crib
except for maybe a couple nasty-ass hoes.
You good, brother?
[Andi] Shit.
(tense music)
- What the fuck you doing?
- Fuck him, man.
I am fucking tired of this bullshit.
You with me or not?
(door breaks)
(gun fires)
(gun fires)
Oh fuck.
Oh fuck.
(tense music continues)
Robby!
(car brakes screech)
No, no, no, no, no. Oh fuck.
(car tires screeching)
Oh God.
Robby!
[Cheryl] Robby?
Come on. Get up.
Get up, come on, let's go. Get outta here.
[Cheryl] What the fuck, man?
(door slams)
(cellphone ringing)
- What?
- Turn on the radio, 95.9.
(radio scanning)
[Radio News Reader]
Authorities are responding
to a tip received just moments ago.
Again, police are looking
for another gunman
described by witnesses as a
Caucasian male, shaved head,
in his late teens or early twenties.
He left the scene in a dark
colored Hyundai and police are-
- Fuck!
(tense music)
(cellphone ringing)
[Robby] I already know who she is.
Robby, where are you?
The old place.
Dad, I'm hurt real bad.
There was a car.
I'm so sorry, dad.
It's okay. Listen, you
call an ambulance, okay?
I cannot do that.
They'll track me. You have to do it.
Robby!
Yeah.
Is she there?
Yeah, she's here.
- Is anybody else there?
- No.
[Harland] Put her on the phone.
Listen to me,
you know this isn't gonna
solve your problems, right?
He's just a boy who made a mistake.
He's the reason she's
not here. Your son.
[Harland] Natalie, right?
You're not gonna get yourself
dirty. That's not who you are.
Now listen to me, do one decent
thing and call an ambulance.
You don't who I am.
Right, you win, okay? You beat me.
But do you understand
what's gonna happen to you
if you don't help my son?
I'm sorry, Harland,
he's already dead.
You fucking...
When I find you and you
know I will find you.
I will rip your God
damn fucking heart out!
(tense music)
(screaming)
I didn't, I didn't mean to let her die.
(somber music)
This states that everything you told us
to your knowledge is factual
and that you're willing to go to court
testifying to the same if required.
Will you sign this?
Are you sure there's
nothing you want to tell us
about Natalie Deegan
or what happened to Kay Brown?
This is your last chance?
Sorry, I never met her.
(knocking at the door)
Higher, baby, than any mountain
Deeper than the deepest sea, oh yeah
I want, I want you to hold on me
Oh my darling,
Darling, darling oh
my, eternally, oh yeah
Listen
You gave me all the love
I need, oh yes indeed
The way you kiss me,
My darling, darling, darling,
darling, it's heavenly
Oh, the last night, baby,
You gave me your love so willingly
And forever the feeling will
linger on, for eternally
And baby, baby, baby
I know, oh I know
The love we have for each other
Is stronger, yes it is
Than any limb on a tree, oh yeah
And when you kissed me
And leave me
