Toxic Impulses (2022) Movie Script
1
Where is she?
Where is she?
Where is she?
Don't make me ask again.
I've got a bullet in my gun
that will go right inside your heart.
I'm gonna start counting backwards.
On three, two, did I forget one, one.
And all that I'll
ever need is more more
And all that I'll ever take is more
It's all I need all I
ever wanted was enough
And all I ever needed now is gone
So I'll live long
It's that I ever wanted
When you sleep
in until noon everyday,
you have a warped sense of time.
You wake up when the
sun is on it's way down.
My life could be summed
up with one word, boredom.
I was forced to resign from the force
which is nicer than being fired.
But I'm not sure how.
And my wife had divorced me.
I didn't really go out
or see or talk to anyone
except my neighbor.
What I needed more than
anything was a sense of purpose.
I just needed something to do.
- Yeah, hon.
- Hello?
- How can I help?
- I live around the block,
so I'm your neighbor, basically.
I heard you used to be a police detective.
Yeah, used to be.
Well, I'm having a security threat,
that I would love your expert advise on.
Okay, how can I help?
Can we talk somewhere else
other than your hallway?
Sure let me grab my jacket.
I had just quit smoking
but going up on that roof
always gave me an impulse of
craving for it out of habit.
All I could think about was
how bad I wanted a cigarette.
- It's Mosley, right?
- Peter Mosley, correct.
And you?
Zemira.
Zemira.
So, what seems to be the problem?
I'm being blackmailed.
- You wanna tell me more?
- I'm not sure.
My advice to you, if
you're being blackmailed
would be to go to the police
because blackmail is a crime.
No, that's the point,
I can't go to the police.
- Why not?
- Let's just say
I was involved in an act
of violence a few years ago
against my piece of shit drug dealer
and now this guy is threatening
to tip off the cops about me.
This act of violence,
was it assault or murder?
- Do I look like a murderer?
- It's not an answer
to the question.
Mos, Mos, hey Mos,
where's your paper towel,
are you out?
Oh.
Hey, Liz.
This is Zemira, she
lives around the block.
- Oh.
- We just met.
- All right.
- Zemira,
this is Liz, my neighbor.
Nice to meet you.
So.
Oh the paper towels,
listen I put them
Yeah.
Under the sink, you know,
they kinda clutter up
the cupboards a little bit, I just thought
that they'd look better in there.
Oh, okay, yeah, all
right, well, I'll get them.
Jackie's been peeing
on the floor again so.
- Again on the carpet?
- Yeah, yeah,
oh no, no, no, no, in the kitchen.
Thank goodness.
It's crazy, I
took her out for a walk,
she peed like three times.
Yeah, I know, you
know, she's an old dog.
Nice meeting you,
all right thanks.
All right.
You just let her walk into
your apartment like that?
Yeah, I mean, we've got a
tight neighbor relationship.
Yeah, we're like roommates.
Yeah, but do you trust
her, I mean, that's not,
that's weird.
I gave her the keys to my
apartment, so I guess so.
What's this?
It's a letter I got.
There's no letter inside
and no return address.
Yeah, well, he
doesn't like to send texts
or emails, he doesn't make phone calls,
like no digital trail of any kind.
So, it's letters in the post
and it's meeting me in person.
Great, you meet him in person.
So, what's his name?
Jonathan Boyd.
You know, I always gotta
give a percentage of my take,
I mean, make, I have to
give him a percentage
of what I make.
And I know he's had people killed before
and I know that his preferred
method of killing is drowning
because it's clean.
You know, personally I
do breathing exercises
to try and increase the amount
of time I can hold my breath
just in case.
I see.
Okay, so your advice
isn't worth much to me,
unfortunately.
Is there anything else
you can do to help me?
Why should I?
Because we're neighbors,
we're supposed to look out
for each other and that sort of thing.
I knew I shouldn't get involved
but she had peaked my interests
and there was just something
about her I couldn't resist.
I started following
her at a safe distance.
She was clearly not
going back to her place,
at least not according to
the address on the envelope.
- Bullshit.
- I need another
10%, it's not enough.
10%, you get what you get.
I don't change agreements.
No, no, I can't
keep doing this for you
unless you give me
more, it's not worth it.
Don't give me that shit.
You're a lazy fuck.
I don't have time
for this shit, I need
to clean up your mess.
You do that asshole.
Fuck.
It's the same last name.
- What?
- I said
it's the same last name.
So?
So, are you not
related to this guy in any way?
No, I'm not related to whoever that is.
Wait, where did you
say you got that again?
I got it when I was following a lead.
- Following a lead.
- Yeah.
I didn't give you much to go on.
- You gave me a lot.
- Okay, well,
if you wanna go around
the city and investigate
everyone with the same last
name as me, be my guest.
Hmm.
What are you packing for?
I gotta catch a flight
in a couple of hours.
I'm going to Denver for work.
- What kind of work?
- Insurance.
This cat had a small
house but it had a good view
overlooking the harbor.
I would later find out it was
actually owned by his aunt
who was out of the country for the year.
And he was barely affording the mortgage.
Hey man.
It's a really nice garden you got here.
- Thank you.
- Yeah,
yeah, I got a couple of pot plants myself,
but I'm no doctor green thumb, you know?
May I?
Sure.
- My name is Mosley.
- James.
What are you doing, you
taking a walk around the block
or how can I help you?
Oh, I found something of yours.
Oh, you working to get some work done?
No, the number's illegible,
I would have called
but you know, I couldn't read it, so.
I don't know, man, do you want me
to get you a new card or?
Oh, no, look, I'm just
trying to help this woman out,
this woman I know and she's
got the same last name as you.
Her name's Zemira.
I'm just trying to figure
out if you have an relatives
with that name or?
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
hang on.
I don't know you okay?
And what you got some
woman with some problem?
- Yeah.
- What do you want from me,
who are you?
Mosley, I just told you.
Peter Mosley.
And what you're a cop or?
No, I'm not a cop, man,
listen, I'm just helping
this woman out, okay,
some guy's harassing her,
I'm just helping her out,
that's all I'm doing.
Just asking around.
That's very chivalrous
of you but you found a business
card with her last name
on it, I don't see what
your angle is here.
Look, man, she's got
the same last name as you,
I just thought I'd check in
if you have any relatives
named Zemira, that's all,
that's all I wanna know.
I don't and even if I did I
wouldn't tell you, all right,
'cause like I said I don't know you.
This is what she looks like.
- Is she okay?
- So you know her?
It's my ex-wife.
We finalized our divorce last year.
Do you have any coworkers or employees
who may have died recently
or hurt themselves,
just trying to figure
out what this blood is.
Her sister's boyfriend,
he's an employee of mine
a few months back but
I haven't heard of him,
I haven't heard from him since.
- So she has a sister.
- She did.
Her sister died sometime last week.
Just a
friendly reminder, folks,
please remained seated
and your seat belts fastened.
Oh, sorry about that.
Just doing some reading for school
and I got all distracted.
Almost 30 and I'm going
back to school again.
How come?
Because my job doesn't pay
very well, plus I hate it
and I need more money.
I got two kids and my father
has kinda gotten pretty ill, so.
You ever thought about
just robbing a bank?
I'm serious.
You know that the majority
of bank robberies happen
with no violence whatsoever, right?
Oh yeah.
And so the easiest way to rob a bank
is just with pen and paper.
You walk up to the
window, you slide a note
across to the teller
that says you have a gun.
You see all have this
policy to avoid violence
at all costs, so they
just train their employees
to give the bank robber whatever
it is that they're demanding.
And you can even hit the
same bank more than one time
because they never
expect to get hit again.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
How do you know all of this?
It's what I do.
- You're a bank robber?
- I am.
I mean, for a second I
thought we were sitting next
to a real life bank robber.
And you really scared me.
I mean, come on.
Oh man.
Ooh, so detailed, you know?
I have to use the restroom now, excuse me.
first officer speaker.
Look we've got our.
Show about 100 miles up,
have you on ground in just
over.
Hey, excuse me.
Can I, I need to talk to her.
- Once we're on the ground,
- Can I sit in there?
Today, it'll be a relative
quick taxi into triple two
and C, charlie 63.
Great weather on the ground right now.
We have light winds on the northwest
but mostly clear skies.
Temperature is a warm
91 degrees fahrenheit.
Dropped something.
That was careless.
Anybody could have picked that up.
Okay, well, I didn't
know I dropped it up.
All right, I don't know
why we're not sitting
in first class anyway.
First class.
What's with the attitude?
You got your shit
together for the next job?
Yes, okay.
You still haven't told me
what happened to my sister
and why she's not responding to me.
I don't what happened
to your fucking sister,
now cut the fucking attitude.
You're different.
You're acting different
and I don't like it.
Let me remind you, if you
cross me, I will put a bullet
in the back of your
skull, right back here.
You've been warned.
Why?
I'm just saying you've been warned.
There's just something
about it that makes me feel,
I don't know, I can't trust her.
I just feel like there's
something off about her, you know?
I just, I don't want you to get mixed up
in something dangerous, you know, Mos?
You met her for like five seconds.
So, I don't have to meet
somebody for an extended period
of time to have an uneasy
feeling about them.
I just don't think you should trust her.
A part of me wondered
why Liz held such contempt
for her.
I knew Zemira had returned back to town
and I didn't know exactly where she was
or what she was doing but I wasn't nearly
as concerned as Liz.
I just, I think you
should be wary, you know?
I think you should be cautious, promise?
All right.
I'm sorry, Mos, I
just feel like she's up
to no good.
Next, next?
Hi, how can I help you?
Thank you very much.
I barely escaped, I
had to hit the throttle
up to 150 on the freeway
just to lose the cops.
You know, it feels like
they're closing in faster on me
every time.
Well, then
get it down to 30 seconds.
No, that's not enough time at the bank.
It's enough
time, it's enough time.
Okay, pop a vein for me.
Come on, you work out, let me see a vein.
By the way, next time I tell
you to get rid of a car,
get rid of it, all the way,
not like you did last time.
I couldn't
find anymore information
about the recent death of Zemira's sister.
I even got all the local
newspapers I could find
for the past week.
But there was nothing in the obituaries
and I didn't believe
James was lying about it.
Hi, Zemara, right?
- Zemira.
- Oh, yeah, Zemira.
You here to see Mosley.
Yeah, I am.
- Oh.
- Why?
No reason just asking girl.
- Right.
- Yeah.
Does he know you're coming?
What are you, his secretary?
Bye.
Bitch.
You said you
didn't know this guy, right?
No, you ask me if I'm
related to him and I said no.
I never said I didn't know him.
Will you just
stop playing games with me
in the future then?
Look, I went to his place, I
talked to him a little bit.
You went to his place!
Why would you do that?
'Cause I'm trying
to fucking figure out
this jigsaw puzzle and you're
not allowing me to help you.
No, because it doesn't matter.
Trust me, he has nothing to do with this
and I do not want him involved
and I do not want you
talking to him again, okay?
He doesn't matter.
Look, I didn't ask him about the divorce
'cause I thought it would be
better to ask you about it.
I also found out that the two
of you have a child together.
Why wouldn't you tell me about that?
Because it doesn't matter.
He has full custody of our
kid, okay, I don't have any,
that's it, it doesn't matter, let it go.
Oh my god!
Hey, I'm sorry that I brought
it up, I didn't know, okay?
I'm sorry.
Yeah, this Boyd character,
I'll do whatever I can
to protect you and
figure this out and yeah
but I still think you can go to the police
and I know you think
you can't but you can.
There are things like
statutes of limitations
and plea deals and you
know, you'll be fine,
I'm sure about it, yeah.
Maybe, thank you for helping me, Mosley.
It's hard for me to talk about
this and I appreciate you.
Close your eyes.
I have to go.
Oh.
Do you think we could
have lunch tomorrow.
Yeah, yeah, that's a good plan.
I have some errands
to run in the morning,
so I'll be hungry by then but I'd love
if we could go to this
really cute spot downtown,
it's like my favorite place.
Yeah, wherever you wanna go.
My bike's not really working right now,
so could you pick me
up at like one o'clock.
Sure, at your place.
No the last errand I
have to run is at the bank.
You can pick me up from there.
Okay, yeah.
To whom it may concern,
I have some information
about the person behind
the multiple bank robberies
that have been happening lately.
I have had some involvement myself
but I'm willing to give up the man
who has been the mastermind
and who has been forcing
my involvement in exchange
for a full pardon for myself.
There will be a bank robbery tomorrow.
I do not know exactly when or where
but I can give you the
full name of the man
who is orchestrating this as
well as his license plate.
If you pull over this
car and arrest this man,
I will testify against him and cooperate
with any police officers from this office.
Excuse me, I'm sorry but
I asked for $500 in 50s
and you only gave me nine.
Look, give the woman her 50.
Okay, thanks.
Hey.
Hey.
Thanks for picking me up.
Yeah, no problem.
Where we going for lunch?
Yeah, this spot, you're
actually gonna love it.
It's, I think the fast
way to get there though
is gonna be to take the 110 North,
so just take a right up here okay?
Okay.
Did you hear
what I said the 110 North?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- What is it?
- Nothing.
Okay, you're gonna wanna take
exit 22A for Lima Boulevard
up here.
Did you hear what I
said, exit up here, 22A.
Yeah, hmm-mm.
- What is it?
- I think this guy
behind us is tailing me.
Wow, I don't think so.
Yeah, every turn I make,
he's right behind me.
Every lane I go into
he keeps staying on me.
No, maybe he's just
like drafting in your wind
or some shit, I don't know.
I don't know, I'll try and lose him.
Whoa, what the fuck is that?
Nothing.
Are those stacks of hundreds?
Maybe.
What the fuck, Zemira,
how much money is that?
I don't know, I haven't counted it yet.
What do you mean you
haven't counted it yet,
what the fuck does that mean?
It means, I went to the
bank and I took out some money
and I haven't counted it yet.
Look, Zemira, are you,
do you know anything
about this car behind us?
- No.
- Are you fucking kidding me?
Are you serious, do you
know something about this?
- No, nothing, I don't know!
- Zemira, what the fuck
is going on?
Nothing.
You better fucking straight with me.
If you say nothing one
more time, I will fucking
turn this car 360 degrees
and fucking crash.
No, don't just, fuck, fine.
I robbed a bank, okay?
You robbed a fucking, what do you mean
you robbed a fucking bank?
- I just, just a little bit.
- Just a little bit,
are you serious with this shit?
- Yes.
- What the fuck?
Do you know what fucking
situation you put me in right now?
I have to take you to
the police right now,
otherwise I'm an accessory to this.
Do you get that?
No, no, no.
- Do you get that?
- No, no, no, don't.
- Yes.
- If I don't do that,
then I am an accessory, I
will be the getaway driver
of a fucking bank robbery,
are you kidding me?
No, I get it,
I get it, I get it and I'm sorry I got you
in this mess but please just
don't fucking turn me in, okay?
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Okay, I think I lost
this fucker behind us.
I'm gonna pull over, right,
I'm just gonna fucking
somewhere and take a moment
and just think for a second.
Look, I'm sorry, Mos, but
please don't turn me in, okay?
I really hope you don't
but, you know, if you do,
I understand.
If you want me to go to jail I will.
I don't want you to go to jail, fuck,
but you've put me in a
fucking tough spot here.
I can't be neutral.
If I'm neutral, then
I'll fucking go to jail.
Okay, okay, I'm sorry,
okay, just breathe for me.
Look, I appreciate you so much.
And I respect your decision, okay?
Hey, breathe.
Close your eyes.
You're not gonna turn me in are you?
No.
But you're gonna have to
give me a lot more of this.
Yep, same
plate that was on the card.
Come on out.
Come on out with your hands up.
- Oh fuck.
- Officer go!
Don't run.
I instantly regretted my decision.
There I was about to
take the rap for it all
and followed by an unmarked cop car
that was even driven by
my old pal and Amato.
Oh, Mosley.
You doing all right?
I've been better.
Look, can we just dive into this,
so I can get the fuck out of this room?
Sure.
Explain it to me.
Come on, Amato, I've already
gave a fucking sworn statement.
Well, then give it again.
Look, she said she was running errands,
she asked me to fetch her from the bank,
I didn't know she was gonna
fucking rob the place.
So, when exactly do you
claim that you found out
that she had actually held up the bank?
When she was in the
car, you know, already,
with the money already in the bag.
- When exactly was that?
- I don't know,
I don't have a fucking watch on me,
I didn't look at the clock.
Was it before or after your
reckless high-speed joyride
down the speedway?
Was it before or after you
parked the car with her
and the money inside?
Yeah, yeah,
somewhere along that timeline.
She got in the car, she had the bag,
some money fell out of it at some point.
I got suspicious.
She didn't say anything, she
didn't admit to anything.
There was this fucking
guy tailing me as well.
I got a little uneasy, you know?
That was even before the
whole money situation.
- Any weapons in the car?
- No, what?
- You sure about that?
- Fuck yeah.
Hmm.
Because we found an unregistered handgun
in the glove compartment.
Did you find any fingerprints on it?
Working on that now.
Well, you won't find any,
'cause it's not my fucking gun.
She probably snuck it in there.
- She snuck it in there.
- Yeah.
So, you're telling me
that she managed to sneak
an unregistered handgun
into your glove compartment
Yeah.
While you were in the car
Yeah, yeah.
Without you noticing?
Yes!
Look, are we done here?
'Cause if you're gonna keep me here,
you know I'm gonna make bail, right?
So either hurry and give
me the fucking number
or let me go.
Either way, I'll do my
best to try and find her
and get the money.
I'll be in touch.
If you move one inch, I'll
cut your fucking vocal chords
one by one, you got it?
Yeah, Amato, I think I found the money.
Yeah, and the guy that has it all.
Jonathan Boyd, I believe.
Hmm-mm, yeah.
I'm at a warehouse on Bull Hill Road.
Yeah, just off Waverly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
I'll see you in a minute.
Fuck.
Fuck.
I wanted to run after him
but I couldn't bring myself
to just leave all the cash
sitting out like that.
You let him get away?
He got away, yeah, but
I didn't let him get away.
Now, will you be able to
trace these serial numbers
back to the bank?
Yeah, I think so.
Well, done Mos.
This is a good look for you.
I think I can take it from here.
Listen, I don't mind
sticking around, you know?
I'd rather you didn't.
My boys are gonna be here in a minute,
but leave it to us, we'll scour the place.
All right, well, just,
you know, keep me updated.
Put it back, Amato.
No, I'm keeping this, Boyd, I earned it.
You're the one that fucked everything up.
I did?
How did he find me?
You were supposed to have him.
We did, but I'm not the head
of the entire justice system.
I can only do so much,
especially with what you're paying me.
Oh, you are a lazy fuck.
I don't know why I thought
you had any authority
with the police department.
But I'll tell you what, you're right,
I'll give you a cut, I'll give you a cut.
I sure don't know what the
fuck I need you for anymore.
- Did you drive here?
- `Yeah, why?
I don't know, just I'm gonna
have to get rid of your car.
And you too.
Mosley, I just wanted to give
you a word of warning.
It's getting dangerous now.
Be careful.
You may have to kill him, 'cause if not,
he's coming to kill you.
He has toxic impulses, so don't
trust anyone, not even me.
I didn't think
I was letting this Zemira
affect my mood but I guess
I showed enough melancholy
for Liz to ask if I was all right.
Are you all right?
You haven't heard from her, huh?
I'm worried about you, Mos.
I said a prayer for you in mass today.
I appreciate that, Liz.
For the mouth of an immoral
woman, as sweet as honey,
her lips are smoother
than oil but in the end
she is bitter as poison.
Dangerous as a double-edged sword.
- Who's that from?
- Solomon.
You know, we read that
in mass today, go figure.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Well, I'm gonna take the dog down.
Hey, you know Mosley,
he lives downstairs.
He's not in his apartment.
Do you know where he is?
You know where he is?
I don't know you.
- Oh, ooh.
- Oh.
Is Mosley here?
No.
Okay, well where is he?
He's out.
Yeah, out where?
I don't know.
What do you do in his
apartment when he's not here?
I organize his closets.
That's one of the thing that I do.
Okay, well, do you know
when he's gonna be back?
No, actually I really do not.
Well, I have something really
important to tell him so.
- So do you wanna come in?
- No, no.
And I'm paranoid about digital trails.
I don't like making
calls or sending texts.
- Oh, very weird.
- Yeah, so.
I'll just leave him a note.
I'm not gonna write everything on here
that I wanna tell him because
I'm sure you'll read it.
I know you're a nosy bitch.
- Anything else you need?
- No.
No, wait, yes.
Where is he exactly, you
really, really don't know.
- I'm not his secretary.
- Goodbye.
Oh, gosh, bitch.
What the fuck, Zemira.
Damn it, you weren't supposed
to take all the money.
You were suppose to leave
half of it in the car.
Well, you didn't
exactly give me specifics.
I did everything you say.
You're the one saying,
oh, oh, oh, I gotta get away
from the banks, gotta
get away from the banks!
Yeah, well, it was your solution
to get someone that we could set up
to be the fall guy for it.
Okay, I suggested that we.
Shut the fuck up!
He outsmarted you, he
outsmarted the police.
And then he tried to kill me.
No, no, no, no, no.
You, you take care of him.
No.
What?
I won't.
You won't.
You're gonna kill him or I will kill you
and then I will kill him myself.
You already tried.
Fuck you, fuck you.
I think it's time for
a little dental work.
It's a shame, because well,
there's no anesthesia here
in the warehouse.
- I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry too
because I'm just gonna
have to dig into your gums
to cut the cavities out.
You got two of them.
No.
One in each of your front teeth.
Open wide.
Open wide.
No, no, no, how about I just
cut right through your lip.
Want a cut through your lip?
No.
No, no.
Yes I am.
Let me tell you something,
this is the way it's gonna be.
I'll be nice, I'll be nice to you.
I'm gonna be so nice to you.
You know what I'm gonna do,
I'm gonna put you out myself.
I'm gonna knock you out.
No?
You wanna stay awake?
What's your option?
No.
- No, no.
- No.
- No.
- No's not an option,
no's not an option.
What do you want?
- Put me out, just put me out!
- Do you wanna stay awake
or do you wanna go to sleep,
tell me the fuck what you want?
Put me out!
I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll
take care of him, I'll do it.
Use poison.
I got some potassium
cyanide in the back, use it,
1,000 milligrams.
You know something, he'll
be dead in two minutes,
maybe three.
She couldn't have
given me a more cryptic message
if she tried.
I assumed it was referring
to the title of the book
and that she wrote some kind
of message in it for me.
The trouble was, I couldn't
find any writing in it
and I started to wonder if
I misunderstood her meaning.
But then it occurred to me maybe the woman
wasn't a reference to a book title at all
but literally the woman at the front desk.
I hadn't even noticed
her when I walked in.
The only way to confirm it was to find out
if she was the only one who worked there.
- Hi.
- Hi.
How can I help you, sir?
I think you can help me
but this is a bit of an odd question.
How many people work here?
It's me and two other people,
different shifts, different days.
- Two men or two women?
- Why do you ask?
I mean, I'm just curious
if it's usually men
or women who run these kinds of shops.
I'm the only women and my
coworker, my two coworkers
are both men.
Oh cool.
- I'm Mosley, by the way.
- I'm Keisha.
Does my name mean anything to you?
No, should it?
I thought it would, because I think
we have a mutual friend in common.
- Who?
- Zemira.
I don't know anybody by that name.
You're really good at
this, you're really good,
I like you.
I really don't know
what you're talking about.
What I'm talking about
is, how about we go
to the diner next door
once you're done with work?
Wow, your eyes are amazing.
Thank you.
Do you wanna do a
simultaneous sip with me?
What is that?
It's like a toast but
you don't need a reason.
- Sure.
- Ready?
Hmm-mm.
Go.
Love that simultaneity.
So, now that you're away from your work,
is there something you wanna tell me?
Sure.
I don't usually tell people this.
Hmm-mm.
But I don't read books.
Okay, I got you, you're
really good at this, wow.
I mean, sometimes if I
see an interesting picture
I'll read the caption but
that's about the extent
of my reading.
So the bookstore, it's just a front.
What do you really do?
Well, I wanna be a photographer
but it's hard to make a living doing that.
You see now we're getting somewhere.
This is good.
So these photographs that you take,
are there any photographs
that I may need to see?
I don't think you'd be very interested.
Oh, trust me.
Thirsty, huh, have some water.
What?
I said have some water.
No, I told you I don't want any.
I can't believe you
drove here like this,
here let me switch with you.
I don't fucking want it!
Why are you always
like this when we talk.
Don't be so self-righteous,
like you're always
on you high horse.
Like, you're so perfect.
Right.
- Because you're not.
- Yeah.
I mean, and you tell
all of our old friends
that I'm the problem
I'm sick of cleaning up
that I'm this after your messes,
messed up bitch.
All right?
It's one thing after another.
Yeah, clean it up, you
missed a spot, right there.
- Unbelievable.
- Go throw it away.
Look at you.
Are you gonna judge me now?
Just stand there and silently judge me.
Fucker.
Listen, what do you want?
What are you doing here?
- I wanna see her.
- No, no,
I just put her to bed and
she hasn't been feeling well,
I think she's sick.
Well, did you take her to a doctor?
Of course, I took her to a doctor.
She's on some amoxicillin, just
let her nap for a bit, okay?
You can see her later.
No, I wanna see her now,
she's my daughter too,
I wanna see her.
She's not feeling well.
Just fucking wait, okay?
Wait till she wakes up.
No, it's not fair that you
get to have her all the time
and I never do.
What you think that because
you have full custody,
you can stop me from seeing her.
Z, you asked that, you
asked me to take her.
You asked me to take full custody.
In a moment of sobriety,
you asked that I be the one
to care for her, all right?
And I admire you for that,
'cause I know how hard
that was for you.
She's two, she's two years old.
I'm supposed to be her mommy.
And that's why I
haven't given up on you.
I mean, I've given up on
us but I haven't given up
on you, she needs a mother.
You can turn your life around.
If you just clean yourself
up and get yourself to rehab
when I told you.
Oh, don't patronize me,
James, fuck you!
I'm not patronizing you,
let me see your arm.
No!
- Let me see your arm.
- No!
Let me see.
Do you wanna tell me what's going on here?
No, nothing.
You know, one of your
shady friends stopped by
the other day, he had a bloody card.
Are you in trouble, do you
need help, do you need money?
No, no and look, I told
them to back off, okay,
so don't give me shit for
that, that wasn't my fault.
Listen, I would defend
our daughter to the death,
but I don't wanna have to do that.
I don't want people from
your life walking in here
and telling me.
Shut the fuck up
about it already, okay?
You know, you're just mad
because your sad excuse
for a business is failing
and so you're taking out
all of your frustrations on me.
Well, you know what, I
feel sorry for our daughter
to have such a shitty, wanna
be entrepreneur for a dad.
You can't even keep a fucking woman.
And I feel sorry that
our daughter has a deadbeat
junkie mother.
Just go, do you wanna see her, just please
don't wake her up okay?
Please.
Yeah, she's asleep like you said,
so I'm just gonna let her sleep.
You said she hasn't
been feeling very well,
so I don't wanna wake her up.
I just wanted to see her
because I might not be back again.
Why not?
I gotta do something,
yeah, there's something I gotta do so.
You can't leave.
You need to sober up a bit.
- Z, Z, get back here.
- I'm fine.
Where are you going, you're not fine.
- Fuck off, I've gotta go.
- Get out of the car!
- No!
- Get out of the car!
Turn it off!
Get out of the car!
This is also
one of my favorites
of what I photographed.
Hmm, that's crazy, wow.
Yeah.
Well, anywho, that's about it.
I'm glad you liked the pictures.
And thank you for looking on the laptop,
I just didn't wanna show you on my phone,
'cause it's so small and
you can't see the detail.
Yeah, yeah, of course.
So, that's it, that's all the
photos you wanted to show me,
that's?
Yeah, why?
No, I just thought that you.
Nevermind, I just yeah.
Well, I'd better get going,
my dog's probably pissed.
Where are my shoes?
Oh yeah, here we go.
Yeah.
Keisha didn't know anything
but after awhile I realized
that she didn't know Zemira,
Boyd or anybody.
She had no information.
- Night.
- Goodnight.
I'd say that it was a
complete waste of time.
That I was racking my brain
but I still couldn't figure out
what Zemira's message meant.
So, what was that message
of yours all about?
- It doesn't matter.
- What, it doesn't matter?
No, it was about a bookstore
but it doesn't matter anymore.
Your crazy neighbor was
struggling with a box outside.
- Liz.
- I don't know
if you wanna help her.
Yeah.
Ah, gosh.
Yeah, hey, I think Liz
managed with that box,
I don't know, I couldn't find her.
So, I believe you have a bunch of things
you need to tell me and
I would like you to start
from the moment you
bolted from the police.
Hey, Zemira?
Yeah, I'll tell you.
Can we just do a shot first.
I just feel like this
whole thing's been weighing
really heavy on me.
Let's talk first and then
we can do a shot, okay?
Yeah, can we just do it now?
After you tell me
what you've been up to.
Mosley, just do a shot with me,
these are getting warm
in my hands, come on,
just do it now.
Well, then you have a shot
and I'm just not gonna join you.
Oh, fuck it, that's not the point,
the point is that we do it together,
there's no point if I do
it by myself, come on.
Then you can wait.
What is the big deal?
Mosley, I brought these over here,
I thought you would like
it, let's just do the shot?
- I'm pretty sure I.
- The fact that you
won't do a shot with me is just.
- What?
- You're being
kind of an asshole.
All right,
you're, okay, cool, I'll do the shot.
You happy, cheers.
Fuck.
It seemed odd
that she was so insistent
on taking the shot first but I just.
Oh shit.
Okay.
Oh fuck.
He always makes me do this shit,
he always makes me do this shit for him!
Okay.
I've gotta go, I've gotta kill him,
I'm gonna fucking kill him,
I'm gonna fucking kill him.
I'm gonna fucking kill him.
I'm gonna fucking kill him.
Mos, Mos, Mos, Mos?
Mosley, Mos, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Mos, Mosley!
Mosley!
No, no.
Hello?
I think my neighbor's
dead, he has no pulse.
I think the murderer's a female,
she's just left the building.
He dead?
Hey Zemira?
Zemira?
Yeah, he's dead.
- Are you fucking with me?
- No, I gave him
a big enough dose to kill a horse.
- 100 milligrams?
- Two.
What are you doing?
I think we need to celebrate.
I love that you don't let
anyone get the better of you.
Fuck man.
If anybody fucks with you,
they live to regret it
or they don't.
- Kiss me.
- After a shot.
I want you to kiss me.
Hey, after a shot.
To Jonathan Boyd, the most
vicious motherfucker in town.
Fuck
Fuck, fucking bitch.
Go for a swim, let's go for a swim.
Let's go for a swim!
Man
I may have wished
death on her in the past
but I'll be damned if
anyone else kills her
while I'm still around.
- What are you doing here?
- Are you okay?
I needed to check on you,
I knew you were in trouble.
Do you have a key for those?
Yeah, in my purse.
Fuck.
All right, I'm gonna call the cops.
Shit, oh, I got a cut on my
neck, man, I need a bandaid,
go get me a bandaid.
Let me just call first.
No, no, no, I need you to
go get me a bandaid, James,
please hurry.
Is it bad, are you hurt?
- Yes.
- Let me see.
I'm fucking hurt, no
it's bleeding, just go.
- Let me see.
- No, it's bleeding,
just go get me a fucking
bandaid, James, please.
Come on, go.
All right.
Motherfucker.
Let's see if you can tread
water without your hands.
Where'd he go?
Did he get away?
He couldn't tread the
water without his hands.
It's too bad.
- Z, no.
- It's too late.
He's dead, I saw a bunch
of bubbles come up,
he definitely drowned.
Come on, you gotta help me bury his body.
Do you realize what you've done?
I have to report this,
I can't be an accomplice
to your murder.
It was self-defense.
James, you can't report me.
I'm the mother of your daughter.
Look, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
What are you doing?
Yeah, there's a death by drowning,
10927 Waverly Street.
Not an accident.
The suspect, the perpetrator's still here.
The police have already been called.
And you're gonna be charged
for that second murder
earlier this evening.
Why did you have to
get so fucking involved?
'Cause Mos and I were neighbors.
We're supposed to look out for each other
and that sort of thing.
I'm not a good person,
James but you are.
I'm really happy for that,
for our daughter's sake.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I bought this book here
a couple of days ago,
but I didn't realize there's
a lot of writing in here,
looks like someone was taking some notes.
I usually like my books
in better condition.
Do you think I can get a refund?
They're all used books, man.
I know, but still, what do you think?
I can do a refund for you.
I was just about to close up anyway.
- Thank you.
- Hmm-mm.
Yeah, my ex-wife
recommended it to me years ago
but I just never got around to reading it.
Yeah, it's hard to
find the time to read.
I myself am not much of a reader.
It's kind of ironic, huh?
Yeah.
- Okay, here you are.
- Thanks.
Hmm-mm.
Did you say you were wrapping up?
Hmm-mm, here in a couple of minutes.
Would you mind if I
walked you to your car?
Yeah.
Sure.
Cool.
Can you turn
that light off for me?
Oh sometimes I'm right but
who cares if you're not
Smiling sometimes I'm
wrong and I know it
But either way it's hard when you stay
Close beside one another forever
Anywhere you go anywhere
I will follow you forever
Ooh
Where is she?
Where is she?
Where is she?
Don't make me ask again.
I've got a bullet in my gun
that will go right inside your heart.
I'm gonna start counting backwards.
On three, two, did I forget one, one.
And all that I'll
ever need is more more
And all that I'll ever take is more
It's all I need all I
ever wanted was enough
And all I ever needed now is gone
So I'll live long
It's that I ever wanted
When you sleep
in until noon everyday,
you have a warped sense of time.
You wake up when the
sun is on it's way down.
My life could be summed
up with one word, boredom.
I was forced to resign from the force
which is nicer than being fired.
But I'm not sure how.
And my wife had divorced me.
I didn't really go out
or see or talk to anyone
except my neighbor.
What I needed more than
anything was a sense of purpose.
I just needed something to do.
- Yeah, hon.
- Hello?
- How can I help?
- I live around the block,
so I'm your neighbor, basically.
I heard you used to be a police detective.
Yeah, used to be.
Well, I'm having a security threat,
that I would love your expert advise on.
Okay, how can I help?
Can we talk somewhere else
other than your hallway?
Sure let me grab my jacket.
I had just quit smoking
but going up on that roof
always gave me an impulse of
craving for it out of habit.
All I could think about was
how bad I wanted a cigarette.
- It's Mosley, right?
- Peter Mosley, correct.
And you?
Zemira.
Zemira.
So, what seems to be the problem?
I'm being blackmailed.
- You wanna tell me more?
- I'm not sure.
My advice to you, if
you're being blackmailed
would be to go to the police
because blackmail is a crime.
No, that's the point,
I can't go to the police.
- Why not?
- Let's just say
I was involved in an act
of violence a few years ago
against my piece of shit drug dealer
and now this guy is threatening
to tip off the cops about me.
This act of violence,
was it assault or murder?
- Do I look like a murderer?
- It's not an answer
to the question.
Mos, Mos, hey Mos,
where's your paper towel,
are you out?
Oh.
Hey, Liz.
This is Zemira, she
lives around the block.
- Oh.
- We just met.
- All right.
- Zemira,
this is Liz, my neighbor.
Nice to meet you.
So.
Oh the paper towels,
listen I put them
Yeah.
Under the sink, you know,
they kinda clutter up
the cupboards a little bit, I just thought
that they'd look better in there.
Oh, okay, yeah, all
right, well, I'll get them.
Jackie's been peeing
on the floor again so.
- Again on the carpet?
- Yeah, yeah,
oh no, no, no, no, in the kitchen.
Thank goodness.
It's crazy, I
took her out for a walk,
she peed like three times.
Yeah, I know, you
know, she's an old dog.
Nice meeting you,
all right thanks.
All right.
You just let her walk into
your apartment like that?
Yeah, I mean, we've got a
tight neighbor relationship.
Yeah, we're like roommates.
Yeah, but do you trust
her, I mean, that's not,
that's weird.
I gave her the keys to my
apartment, so I guess so.
What's this?
It's a letter I got.
There's no letter inside
and no return address.
Yeah, well, he
doesn't like to send texts
or emails, he doesn't make phone calls,
like no digital trail of any kind.
So, it's letters in the post
and it's meeting me in person.
Great, you meet him in person.
So, what's his name?
Jonathan Boyd.
You know, I always gotta
give a percentage of my take,
I mean, make, I have to
give him a percentage
of what I make.
And I know he's had people killed before
and I know that his preferred
method of killing is drowning
because it's clean.
You know, personally I
do breathing exercises
to try and increase the amount
of time I can hold my breath
just in case.
I see.
Okay, so your advice
isn't worth much to me,
unfortunately.
Is there anything else
you can do to help me?
Why should I?
Because we're neighbors,
we're supposed to look out
for each other and that sort of thing.
I knew I shouldn't get involved
but she had peaked my interests
and there was just something
about her I couldn't resist.
I started following
her at a safe distance.
She was clearly not
going back to her place,
at least not according to
the address on the envelope.
- Bullshit.
- I need another
10%, it's not enough.
10%, you get what you get.
I don't change agreements.
No, no, I can't
keep doing this for you
unless you give me
more, it's not worth it.
Don't give me that shit.
You're a lazy fuck.
I don't have time
for this shit, I need
to clean up your mess.
You do that asshole.
Fuck.
It's the same last name.
- What?
- I said
it's the same last name.
So?
So, are you not
related to this guy in any way?
No, I'm not related to whoever that is.
Wait, where did you
say you got that again?
I got it when I was following a lead.
- Following a lead.
- Yeah.
I didn't give you much to go on.
- You gave me a lot.
- Okay, well,
if you wanna go around
the city and investigate
everyone with the same last
name as me, be my guest.
Hmm.
What are you packing for?
I gotta catch a flight
in a couple of hours.
I'm going to Denver for work.
- What kind of work?
- Insurance.
This cat had a small
house but it had a good view
overlooking the harbor.
I would later find out it was
actually owned by his aunt
who was out of the country for the year.
And he was barely affording the mortgage.
Hey man.
It's a really nice garden you got here.
- Thank you.
- Yeah,
yeah, I got a couple of pot plants myself,
but I'm no doctor green thumb, you know?
May I?
Sure.
- My name is Mosley.
- James.
What are you doing, you
taking a walk around the block
or how can I help you?
Oh, I found something of yours.
Oh, you working to get some work done?
No, the number's illegible,
I would have called
but you know, I couldn't read it, so.
I don't know, man, do you want me
to get you a new card or?
Oh, no, look, I'm just
trying to help this woman out,
this woman I know and she's
got the same last name as you.
Her name's Zemira.
I'm just trying to figure
out if you have an relatives
with that name or?
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
hang on.
I don't know you okay?
And what you got some
woman with some problem?
- Yeah.
- What do you want from me,
who are you?
Mosley, I just told you.
Peter Mosley.
And what you're a cop or?
No, I'm not a cop, man,
listen, I'm just helping
this woman out, okay,
some guy's harassing her,
I'm just helping her out,
that's all I'm doing.
Just asking around.
That's very chivalrous
of you but you found a business
card with her last name
on it, I don't see what
your angle is here.
Look, man, she's got
the same last name as you,
I just thought I'd check in
if you have any relatives
named Zemira, that's all,
that's all I wanna know.
I don't and even if I did I
wouldn't tell you, all right,
'cause like I said I don't know you.
This is what she looks like.
- Is she okay?
- So you know her?
It's my ex-wife.
We finalized our divorce last year.
Do you have any coworkers or employees
who may have died recently
or hurt themselves,
just trying to figure
out what this blood is.
Her sister's boyfriend,
he's an employee of mine
a few months back but
I haven't heard of him,
I haven't heard from him since.
- So she has a sister.
- She did.
Her sister died sometime last week.
Just a
friendly reminder, folks,
please remained seated
and your seat belts fastened.
Oh, sorry about that.
Just doing some reading for school
and I got all distracted.
Almost 30 and I'm going
back to school again.
How come?
Because my job doesn't pay
very well, plus I hate it
and I need more money.
I got two kids and my father
has kinda gotten pretty ill, so.
You ever thought about
just robbing a bank?
I'm serious.
You know that the majority
of bank robberies happen
with no violence whatsoever, right?
Oh yeah.
And so the easiest way to rob a bank
is just with pen and paper.
You walk up to the
window, you slide a note
across to the teller
that says you have a gun.
You see all have this
policy to avoid violence
at all costs, so they
just train their employees
to give the bank robber whatever
it is that they're demanding.
And you can even hit the
same bank more than one time
because they never
expect to get hit again.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
How do you know all of this?
It's what I do.
- You're a bank robber?
- I am.
I mean, for a second I
thought we were sitting next
to a real life bank robber.
And you really scared me.
I mean, come on.
Oh man.
Ooh, so detailed, you know?
I have to use the restroom now, excuse me.
first officer speaker.
Look we've got our.
Show about 100 miles up,
have you on ground in just
over.
Hey, excuse me.
Can I, I need to talk to her.
- Once we're on the ground,
- Can I sit in there?
Today, it'll be a relative
quick taxi into triple two
and C, charlie 63.
Great weather on the ground right now.
We have light winds on the northwest
but mostly clear skies.
Temperature is a warm
91 degrees fahrenheit.
Dropped something.
That was careless.
Anybody could have picked that up.
Okay, well, I didn't
know I dropped it up.
All right, I don't know
why we're not sitting
in first class anyway.
First class.
What's with the attitude?
You got your shit
together for the next job?
Yes, okay.
You still haven't told me
what happened to my sister
and why she's not responding to me.
I don't what happened
to your fucking sister,
now cut the fucking attitude.
You're different.
You're acting different
and I don't like it.
Let me remind you, if you
cross me, I will put a bullet
in the back of your
skull, right back here.
You've been warned.
Why?
I'm just saying you've been warned.
There's just something
about it that makes me feel,
I don't know, I can't trust her.
I just feel like there's
something off about her, you know?
I just, I don't want you to get mixed up
in something dangerous, you know, Mos?
You met her for like five seconds.
So, I don't have to meet
somebody for an extended period
of time to have an uneasy
feeling about them.
I just don't think you should trust her.
A part of me wondered
why Liz held such contempt
for her.
I knew Zemira had returned back to town
and I didn't know exactly where she was
or what she was doing but I wasn't nearly
as concerned as Liz.
I just, I think you
should be wary, you know?
I think you should be cautious, promise?
All right.
I'm sorry, Mos, I
just feel like she's up
to no good.
Next, next?
Hi, how can I help you?
Thank you very much.
I barely escaped, I
had to hit the throttle
up to 150 on the freeway
just to lose the cops.
You know, it feels like
they're closing in faster on me
every time.
Well, then
get it down to 30 seconds.
No, that's not enough time at the bank.
It's enough
time, it's enough time.
Okay, pop a vein for me.
Come on, you work out, let me see a vein.
By the way, next time I tell
you to get rid of a car,
get rid of it, all the way,
not like you did last time.
I couldn't
find anymore information
about the recent death of Zemira's sister.
I even got all the local
newspapers I could find
for the past week.
But there was nothing in the obituaries
and I didn't believe
James was lying about it.
Hi, Zemara, right?
- Zemira.
- Oh, yeah, Zemira.
You here to see Mosley.
Yeah, I am.
- Oh.
- Why?
No reason just asking girl.
- Right.
- Yeah.
Does he know you're coming?
What are you, his secretary?
Bye.
Bitch.
You said you
didn't know this guy, right?
No, you ask me if I'm
related to him and I said no.
I never said I didn't know him.
Will you just
stop playing games with me
in the future then?
Look, I went to his place, I
talked to him a little bit.
You went to his place!
Why would you do that?
'Cause I'm trying
to fucking figure out
this jigsaw puzzle and you're
not allowing me to help you.
No, because it doesn't matter.
Trust me, he has nothing to do with this
and I do not want him involved
and I do not want you
talking to him again, okay?
He doesn't matter.
Look, I didn't ask him about the divorce
'cause I thought it would be
better to ask you about it.
I also found out that the two
of you have a child together.
Why wouldn't you tell me about that?
Because it doesn't matter.
He has full custody of our
kid, okay, I don't have any,
that's it, it doesn't matter, let it go.
Oh my god!
Hey, I'm sorry that I brought
it up, I didn't know, okay?
I'm sorry.
Yeah, this Boyd character,
I'll do whatever I can
to protect you and
figure this out and yeah
but I still think you can go to the police
and I know you think
you can't but you can.
There are things like
statutes of limitations
and plea deals and you
know, you'll be fine,
I'm sure about it, yeah.
Maybe, thank you for helping me, Mosley.
It's hard for me to talk about
this and I appreciate you.
Close your eyes.
I have to go.
Oh.
Do you think we could
have lunch tomorrow.
Yeah, yeah, that's a good plan.
I have some errands
to run in the morning,
so I'll be hungry by then but I'd love
if we could go to this
really cute spot downtown,
it's like my favorite place.
Yeah, wherever you wanna go.
My bike's not really working right now,
so could you pick me
up at like one o'clock.
Sure, at your place.
No the last errand I
have to run is at the bank.
You can pick me up from there.
Okay, yeah.
To whom it may concern,
I have some information
about the person behind
the multiple bank robberies
that have been happening lately.
I have had some involvement myself
but I'm willing to give up the man
who has been the mastermind
and who has been forcing
my involvement in exchange
for a full pardon for myself.
There will be a bank robbery tomorrow.
I do not know exactly when or where
but I can give you the
full name of the man
who is orchestrating this as
well as his license plate.
If you pull over this
car and arrest this man,
I will testify against him and cooperate
with any police officers from this office.
Excuse me, I'm sorry but
I asked for $500 in 50s
and you only gave me nine.
Look, give the woman her 50.
Okay, thanks.
Hey.
Hey.
Thanks for picking me up.
Yeah, no problem.
Where we going for lunch?
Yeah, this spot, you're
actually gonna love it.
It's, I think the fast
way to get there though
is gonna be to take the 110 North,
so just take a right up here okay?
Okay.
Did you hear
what I said the 110 North?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- What is it?
- Nothing.
Okay, you're gonna wanna take
exit 22A for Lima Boulevard
up here.
Did you hear what I
said, exit up here, 22A.
Yeah, hmm-mm.
- What is it?
- I think this guy
behind us is tailing me.
Wow, I don't think so.
Yeah, every turn I make,
he's right behind me.
Every lane I go into
he keeps staying on me.
No, maybe he's just
like drafting in your wind
or some shit, I don't know.
I don't know, I'll try and lose him.
Whoa, what the fuck is that?
Nothing.
Are those stacks of hundreds?
Maybe.
What the fuck, Zemira,
how much money is that?
I don't know, I haven't counted it yet.
What do you mean you
haven't counted it yet,
what the fuck does that mean?
It means, I went to the
bank and I took out some money
and I haven't counted it yet.
Look, Zemira, are you,
do you know anything
about this car behind us?
- No.
- Are you fucking kidding me?
Are you serious, do you
know something about this?
- No, nothing, I don't know!
- Zemira, what the fuck
is going on?
Nothing.
You better fucking straight with me.
If you say nothing one
more time, I will fucking
turn this car 360 degrees
and fucking crash.
No, don't just, fuck, fine.
I robbed a bank, okay?
You robbed a fucking, what do you mean
you robbed a fucking bank?
- I just, just a little bit.
- Just a little bit,
are you serious with this shit?
- Yes.
- What the fuck?
Do you know what fucking
situation you put me in right now?
I have to take you to
the police right now,
otherwise I'm an accessory to this.
Do you get that?
No, no, no.
- Do you get that?
- No, no, no, don't.
- Yes.
- If I don't do that,
then I am an accessory, I
will be the getaway driver
of a fucking bank robbery,
are you kidding me?
No, I get it,
I get it, I get it and I'm sorry I got you
in this mess but please just
don't fucking turn me in, okay?
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Okay, I think I lost
this fucker behind us.
I'm gonna pull over, right,
I'm just gonna fucking
somewhere and take a moment
and just think for a second.
Look, I'm sorry, Mos, but
please don't turn me in, okay?
I really hope you don't
but, you know, if you do,
I understand.
If you want me to go to jail I will.
I don't want you to go to jail, fuck,
but you've put me in a
fucking tough spot here.
I can't be neutral.
If I'm neutral, then
I'll fucking go to jail.
Okay, okay, I'm sorry,
okay, just breathe for me.
Look, I appreciate you so much.
And I respect your decision, okay?
Hey, breathe.
Close your eyes.
You're not gonna turn me in are you?
No.
But you're gonna have to
give me a lot more of this.
Yep, same
plate that was on the card.
Come on out.
Come on out with your hands up.
- Oh fuck.
- Officer go!
Don't run.
I instantly regretted my decision.
There I was about to
take the rap for it all
and followed by an unmarked cop car
that was even driven by
my old pal and Amato.
Oh, Mosley.
You doing all right?
I've been better.
Look, can we just dive into this,
so I can get the fuck out of this room?
Sure.
Explain it to me.
Come on, Amato, I've already
gave a fucking sworn statement.
Well, then give it again.
Look, she said she was running errands,
she asked me to fetch her from the bank,
I didn't know she was gonna
fucking rob the place.
So, when exactly do you
claim that you found out
that she had actually held up the bank?
When she was in the
car, you know, already,
with the money already in the bag.
- When exactly was that?
- I don't know,
I don't have a fucking watch on me,
I didn't look at the clock.
Was it before or after your
reckless high-speed joyride
down the speedway?
Was it before or after you
parked the car with her
and the money inside?
Yeah, yeah,
somewhere along that timeline.
She got in the car, she had the bag,
some money fell out of it at some point.
I got suspicious.
She didn't say anything, she
didn't admit to anything.
There was this fucking
guy tailing me as well.
I got a little uneasy, you know?
That was even before the
whole money situation.
- Any weapons in the car?
- No, what?
- You sure about that?
- Fuck yeah.
Hmm.
Because we found an unregistered handgun
in the glove compartment.
Did you find any fingerprints on it?
Working on that now.
Well, you won't find any,
'cause it's not my fucking gun.
She probably snuck it in there.
- She snuck it in there.
- Yeah.
So, you're telling me
that she managed to sneak
an unregistered handgun
into your glove compartment
Yeah.
While you were in the car
Yeah, yeah.
Without you noticing?
Yes!
Look, are we done here?
'Cause if you're gonna keep me here,
you know I'm gonna make bail, right?
So either hurry and give
me the fucking number
or let me go.
Either way, I'll do my
best to try and find her
and get the money.
I'll be in touch.
If you move one inch, I'll
cut your fucking vocal chords
one by one, you got it?
Yeah, Amato, I think I found the money.
Yeah, and the guy that has it all.
Jonathan Boyd, I believe.
Hmm-mm, yeah.
I'm at a warehouse on Bull Hill Road.
Yeah, just off Waverly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
I'll see you in a minute.
Fuck.
Fuck.
I wanted to run after him
but I couldn't bring myself
to just leave all the cash
sitting out like that.
You let him get away?
He got away, yeah, but
I didn't let him get away.
Now, will you be able to
trace these serial numbers
back to the bank?
Yeah, I think so.
Well, done Mos.
This is a good look for you.
I think I can take it from here.
Listen, I don't mind
sticking around, you know?
I'd rather you didn't.
My boys are gonna be here in a minute,
but leave it to us, we'll scour the place.
All right, well, just,
you know, keep me updated.
Put it back, Amato.
No, I'm keeping this, Boyd, I earned it.
You're the one that fucked everything up.
I did?
How did he find me?
You were supposed to have him.
We did, but I'm not the head
of the entire justice system.
I can only do so much,
especially with what you're paying me.
Oh, you are a lazy fuck.
I don't know why I thought
you had any authority
with the police department.
But I'll tell you what, you're right,
I'll give you a cut, I'll give you a cut.
I sure don't know what the
fuck I need you for anymore.
- Did you drive here?
- `Yeah, why?
I don't know, just I'm gonna
have to get rid of your car.
And you too.
Mosley, I just wanted to give
you a word of warning.
It's getting dangerous now.
Be careful.
You may have to kill him, 'cause if not,
he's coming to kill you.
He has toxic impulses, so don't
trust anyone, not even me.
I didn't think
I was letting this Zemira
affect my mood but I guess
I showed enough melancholy
for Liz to ask if I was all right.
Are you all right?
You haven't heard from her, huh?
I'm worried about you, Mos.
I said a prayer for you in mass today.
I appreciate that, Liz.
For the mouth of an immoral
woman, as sweet as honey,
her lips are smoother
than oil but in the end
she is bitter as poison.
Dangerous as a double-edged sword.
- Who's that from?
- Solomon.
You know, we read that
in mass today, go figure.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Well, I'm gonna take the dog down.
Hey, you know Mosley,
he lives downstairs.
He's not in his apartment.
Do you know where he is?
You know where he is?
I don't know you.
- Oh, ooh.
- Oh.
Is Mosley here?
No.
Okay, well where is he?
He's out.
Yeah, out where?
I don't know.
What do you do in his
apartment when he's not here?
I organize his closets.
That's one of the thing that I do.
Okay, well, do you know
when he's gonna be back?
No, actually I really do not.
Well, I have something really
important to tell him so.
- So do you wanna come in?
- No, no.
And I'm paranoid about digital trails.
I don't like making
calls or sending texts.
- Oh, very weird.
- Yeah, so.
I'll just leave him a note.
I'm not gonna write everything on here
that I wanna tell him because
I'm sure you'll read it.
I know you're a nosy bitch.
- Anything else you need?
- No.
No, wait, yes.
Where is he exactly, you
really, really don't know.
- I'm not his secretary.
- Goodbye.
Oh, gosh, bitch.
What the fuck, Zemira.
Damn it, you weren't supposed
to take all the money.
You were suppose to leave
half of it in the car.
Well, you didn't
exactly give me specifics.
I did everything you say.
You're the one saying,
oh, oh, oh, I gotta get away
from the banks, gotta
get away from the banks!
Yeah, well, it was your solution
to get someone that we could set up
to be the fall guy for it.
Okay, I suggested that we.
Shut the fuck up!
He outsmarted you, he
outsmarted the police.
And then he tried to kill me.
No, no, no, no, no.
You, you take care of him.
No.
What?
I won't.
You won't.
You're gonna kill him or I will kill you
and then I will kill him myself.
You already tried.
Fuck you, fuck you.
I think it's time for
a little dental work.
It's a shame, because well,
there's no anesthesia here
in the warehouse.
- I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry too
because I'm just gonna
have to dig into your gums
to cut the cavities out.
You got two of them.
No.
One in each of your front teeth.
Open wide.
Open wide.
No, no, no, how about I just
cut right through your lip.
Want a cut through your lip?
No.
No, no.
Yes I am.
Let me tell you something,
this is the way it's gonna be.
I'll be nice, I'll be nice to you.
I'm gonna be so nice to you.
You know what I'm gonna do,
I'm gonna put you out myself.
I'm gonna knock you out.
No?
You wanna stay awake?
What's your option?
No.
- No, no.
- No.
- No.
- No's not an option,
no's not an option.
What do you want?
- Put me out, just put me out!
- Do you wanna stay awake
or do you wanna go to sleep,
tell me the fuck what you want?
Put me out!
I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll
take care of him, I'll do it.
Use poison.
I got some potassium
cyanide in the back, use it,
1,000 milligrams.
You know something, he'll
be dead in two minutes,
maybe three.
She couldn't have
given me a more cryptic message
if she tried.
I assumed it was referring
to the title of the book
and that she wrote some kind
of message in it for me.
The trouble was, I couldn't
find any writing in it
and I started to wonder if
I misunderstood her meaning.
But then it occurred to me maybe the woman
wasn't a reference to a book title at all
but literally the woman at the front desk.
I hadn't even noticed
her when I walked in.
The only way to confirm it was to find out
if she was the only one who worked there.
- Hi.
- Hi.
How can I help you, sir?
I think you can help me
but this is a bit of an odd question.
How many people work here?
It's me and two other people,
different shifts, different days.
- Two men or two women?
- Why do you ask?
I mean, I'm just curious
if it's usually men
or women who run these kinds of shops.
I'm the only women and my
coworker, my two coworkers
are both men.
Oh cool.
- I'm Mosley, by the way.
- I'm Keisha.
Does my name mean anything to you?
No, should it?
I thought it would, because I think
we have a mutual friend in common.
- Who?
- Zemira.
I don't know anybody by that name.
You're really good at
this, you're really good,
I like you.
I really don't know
what you're talking about.
What I'm talking about
is, how about we go
to the diner next door
once you're done with work?
Wow, your eyes are amazing.
Thank you.
Do you wanna do a
simultaneous sip with me?
What is that?
It's like a toast but
you don't need a reason.
- Sure.
- Ready?
Hmm-mm.
Go.
Love that simultaneity.
So, now that you're away from your work,
is there something you wanna tell me?
Sure.
I don't usually tell people this.
Hmm-mm.
But I don't read books.
Okay, I got you, you're
really good at this, wow.
I mean, sometimes if I
see an interesting picture
I'll read the caption but
that's about the extent
of my reading.
So the bookstore, it's just a front.
What do you really do?
Well, I wanna be a photographer
but it's hard to make a living doing that.
You see now we're getting somewhere.
This is good.
So these photographs that you take,
are there any photographs
that I may need to see?
I don't think you'd be very interested.
Oh, trust me.
Thirsty, huh, have some water.
What?
I said have some water.
No, I told you I don't want any.
I can't believe you
drove here like this,
here let me switch with you.
I don't fucking want it!
Why are you always
like this when we talk.
Don't be so self-righteous,
like you're always
on you high horse.
Like, you're so perfect.
Right.
- Because you're not.
- Yeah.
I mean, and you tell
all of our old friends
that I'm the problem
I'm sick of cleaning up
that I'm this after your messes,
messed up bitch.
All right?
It's one thing after another.
Yeah, clean it up, you
missed a spot, right there.
- Unbelievable.
- Go throw it away.
Look at you.
Are you gonna judge me now?
Just stand there and silently judge me.
Fucker.
Listen, what do you want?
What are you doing here?
- I wanna see her.
- No, no,
I just put her to bed and
she hasn't been feeling well,
I think she's sick.
Well, did you take her to a doctor?
Of course, I took her to a doctor.
She's on some amoxicillin, just
let her nap for a bit, okay?
You can see her later.
No, I wanna see her now,
she's my daughter too,
I wanna see her.
She's not feeling well.
Just fucking wait, okay?
Wait till she wakes up.
No, it's not fair that you
get to have her all the time
and I never do.
What you think that because
you have full custody,
you can stop me from seeing her.
Z, you asked that, you
asked me to take her.
You asked me to take full custody.
In a moment of sobriety,
you asked that I be the one
to care for her, all right?
And I admire you for that,
'cause I know how hard
that was for you.
She's two, she's two years old.
I'm supposed to be her mommy.
And that's why I
haven't given up on you.
I mean, I've given up on
us but I haven't given up
on you, she needs a mother.
You can turn your life around.
If you just clean yourself
up and get yourself to rehab
when I told you.
Oh, don't patronize me,
James, fuck you!
I'm not patronizing you,
let me see your arm.
No!
- Let me see your arm.
- No!
Let me see.
Do you wanna tell me what's going on here?
No, nothing.
You know, one of your
shady friends stopped by
the other day, he had a bloody card.
Are you in trouble, do you
need help, do you need money?
No, no and look, I told
them to back off, okay,
so don't give me shit for
that, that wasn't my fault.
Listen, I would defend
our daughter to the death,
but I don't wanna have to do that.
I don't want people from
your life walking in here
and telling me.
Shut the fuck up
about it already, okay?
You know, you're just mad
because your sad excuse
for a business is failing
and so you're taking out
all of your frustrations on me.
Well, you know what, I
feel sorry for our daughter
to have such a shitty, wanna
be entrepreneur for a dad.
You can't even keep a fucking woman.
And I feel sorry that
our daughter has a deadbeat
junkie mother.
Just go, do you wanna see her, just please
don't wake her up okay?
Please.
Yeah, she's asleep like you said,
so I'm just gonna let her sleep.
You said she hasn't
been feeling very well,
so I don't wanna wake her up.
I just wanted to see her
because I might not be back again.
Why not?
I gotta do something,
yeah, there's something I gotta do so.
You can't leave.
You need to sober up a bit.
- Z, Z, get back here.
- I'm fine.
Where are you going, you're not fine.
- Fuck off, I've gotta go.
- Get out of the car!
- No!
- Get out of the car!
Turn it off!
Get out of the car!
This is also
one of my favorites
of what I photographed.
Hmm, that's crazy, wow.
Yeah.
Well, anywho, that's about it.
I'm glad you liked the pictures.
And thank you for looking on the laptop,
I just didn't wanna show you on my phone,
'cause it's so small and
you can't see the detail.
Yeah, yeah, of course.
So, that's it, that's all the
photos you wanted to show me,
that's?
Yeah, why?
No, I just thought that you.
Nevermind, I just yeah.
Well, I'd better get going,
my dog's probably pissed.
Where are my shoes?
Oh yeah, here we go.
Yeah.
Keisha didn't know anything
but after awhile I realized
that she didn't know Zemira,
Boyd or anybody.
She had no information.
- Night.
- Goodnight.
I'd say that it was a
complete waste of time.
That I was racking my brain
but I still couldn't figure out
what Zemira's message meant.
So, what was that message
of yours all about?
- It doesn't matter.
- What, it doesn't matter?
No, it was about a bookstore
but it doesn't matter anymore.
Your crazy neighbor was
struggling with a box outside.
- Liz.
- I don't know
if you wanna help her.
Yeah.
Ah, gosh.
Yeah, hey, I think Liz
managed with that box,
I don't know, I couldn't find her.
So, I believe you have a bunch of things
you need to tell me and
I would like you to start
from the moment you
bolted from the police.
Hey, Zemira?
Yeah, I'll tell you.
Can we just do a shot first.
I just feel like this
whole thing's been weighing
really heavy on me.
Let's talk first and then
we can do a shot, okay?
Yeah, can we just do it now?
After you tell me
what you've been up to.
Mosley, just do a shot with me,
these are getting warm
in my hands, come on,
just do it now.
Well, then you have a shot
and I'm just not gonna join you.
Oh, fuck it, that's not the point,
the point is that we do it together,
there's no point if I do
it by myself, come on.
Then you can wait.
What is the big deal?
Mosley, I brought these over here,
I thought you would like
it, let's just do the shot?
- I'm pretty sure I.
- The fact that you
won't do a shot with me is just.
- What?
- You're being
kind of an asshole.
All right,
you're, okay, cool, I'll do the shot.
You happy, cheers.
Fuck.
It seemed odd
that she was so insistent
on taking the shot first but I just.
Oh shit.
Okay.
Oh fuck.
He always makes me do this shit,
he always makes me do this shit for him!
Okay.
I've gotta go, I've gotta kill him,
I'm gonna fucking kill him,
I'm gonna fucking kill him.
I'm gonna fucking kill him.
I'm gonna fucking kill him.
Mos, Mos, Mos, Mos?
Mosley, Mos, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Mos, Mosley!
Mosley!
No, no.
Hello?
I think my neighbor's
dead, he has no pulse.
I think the murderer's a female,
she's just left the building.
He dead?
Hey Zemira?
Zemira?
Yeah, he's dead.
- Are you fucking with me?
- No, I gave him
a big enough dose to kill a horse.
- 100 milligrams?
- Two.
What are you doing?
I think we need to celebrate.
I love that you don't let
anyone get the better of you.
Fuck man.
If anybody fucks with you,
they live to regret it
or they don't.
- Kiss me.
- After a shot.
I want you to kiss me.
Hey, after a shot.
To Jonathan Boyd, the most
vicious motherfucker in town.
Fuck
Fuck, fucking bitch.
Go for a swim, let's go for a swim.
Let's go for a swim!
Man
I may have wished
death on her in the past
but I'll be damned if
anyone else kills her
while I'm still around.
- What are you doing here?
- Are you okay?
I needed to check on you,
I knew you were in trouble.
Do you have a key for those?
Yeah, in my purse.
Fuck.
All right, I'm gonna call the cops.
Shit, oh, I got a cut on my
neck, man, I need a bandaid,
go get me a bandaid.
Let me just call first.
No, no, no, I need you to
go get me a bandaid, James,
please hurry.
Is it bad, are you hurt?
- Yes.
- Let me see.
I'm fucking hurt, no
it's bleeding, just go.
- Let me see.
- No, it's bleeding,
just go get me a fucking
bandaid, James, please.
Come on, go.
All right.
Motherfucker.
Let's see if you can tread
water without your hands.
Where'd he go?
Did he get away?
He couldn't tread the
water without his hands.
It's too bad.
- Z, no.
- It's too late.
He's dead, I saw a bunch
of bubbles come up,
he definitely drowned.
Come on, you gotta help me bury his body.
Do you realize what you've done?
I have to report this,
I can't be an accomplice
to your murder.
It was self-defense.
James, you can't report me.
I'm the mother of your daughter.
Look, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
What are you doing?
Yeah, there's a death by drowning,
10927 Waverly Street.
Not an accident.
The suspect, the perpetrator's still here.
The police have already been called.
And you're gonna be charged
for that second murder
earlier this evening.
Why did you have to
get so fucking involved?
'Cause Mos and I were neighbors.
We're supposed to look out for each other
and that sort of thing.
I'm not a good person,
James but you are.
I'm really happy for that,
for our daughter's sake.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I bought this book here
a couple of days ago,
but I didn't realize there's
a lot of writing in here,
looks like someone was taking some notes.
I usually like my books
in better condition.
Do you think I can get a refund?
They're all used books, man.
I know, but still, what do you think?
I can do a refund for you.
I was just about to close up anyway.
- Thank you.
- Hmm-mm.
Yeah, my ex-wife
recommended it to me years ago
but I just never got around to reading it.
Yeah, it's hard to
find the time to read.
I myself am not much of a reader.
It's kind of ironic, huh?
Yeah.
- Okay, here you are.
- Thanks.
Hmm-mm.
Did you say you were wrapping up?
Hmm-mm, here in a couple of minutes.
Would you mind if I
walked you to your car?
Yeah.
Sure.
Cool.
Can you turn
that light off for me?
Oh sometimes I'm right but
who cares if you're not
Smiling sometimes I'm
wrong and I know it
But either way it's hard when you stay
Close beside one another forever
Anywhere you go anywhere
I will follow you forever
Ooh
