[DETECTIVE] There's bullets flying,
glass everywhere, winged one guy.
This lady took one in the leg.
Kid's just a little good luck
shy of a murder charge.
What about the girl, Ariana?
That's a pretty name.
There's no sign of her either.
I'm thinking that he offed her
and the landlord.
This is what happens when your partner
reads one book on serial killers.
- [SIGHS]
- So, come on, what do you think?
- Is he one?
- It's not that simple.
There are a number of dispositive
factors that I'm not seeing.
And the nature of the crime's
inconsistent with his
Or "crimes", right? What about the girl?
What about the landlord?
We got no weapon. We got no bodies.
No, we know he has a gun. There's
blood on the floor of the house.
There's signs of a struggle, and
there's a bullet hole in the glass.
- It's circumstantial.
- Yeah, but what if he is?
What if we caught one?
Did he tell you what he was doing
firing a gun at Rockefeller Center?
Yeah. Uh, him and the girl, they
wanted to scare someone, he says.
- Who?
- Won't say.
Says it wouldn't serve.
Huh.
So, what do you think?
This is what you do, Professor.
- Let me take a look.
- Yeah?
[INTERVIEWER] Yeah.
[DETECTIVE] You ready?
Yeah.
[DETECTIVE] All right. [SIGHS]

[GUARD] Got it.
- [CELL DOOR SLAMS]
- Would you like to sit?
Danny.
How are they treating you?
Just like everybody else, I guess.
Well, I'm just here to talk.
About what happened with Ariana. I know.
Do you know where she is, Danny?
No.
Like I told the police,
I haven't seen her since
what happened on the street.
Well, the police can't find her either.
What happened to Yitzhak, your landlord?
I don't know.
Well, if you can't tell me
where they are now,
can you tell me how you ended up
living with them in that house?
It was a rooming house.
I was rooming there.
Danny, I'm trying to help you.
Okay.
W When did you first meet them,
Ariana and Yitzhak?
Junior year, high school.
Could you be as precise as possible?
Um, 1977. Spring. The sun was shining.
[CHUCKLES]
I wasn't a very popular kid at school.
[DANNY] Turns out that sad and moody
didn't do me any favors at home either.
[RADIO HOST SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

Dan!
[PANTING]
[GRUNTS]
Can you do something, please?
I'd like to take a shower.
I said please. Can you do
something about this kid?
- You hear me talking to you, right?
- [CANDY] Yes, I heard you.
Would you just leave him alone?
[MARLIN] He lives.
What is this place, a hotel?
[SNORTS] "Can't you just
leave him alone?"
[CANDY] Let's hustle.
We're gonna be late.
Want me to drive you to school?
Sure.
I'll make you a BLT to take with you.
[MARLIN] Jesus. I got a hotel
and cafeteria. I can't.
[INHALES DEEPLY] Danny, go get ready.
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
We're leaving in five.
[SIGHS]
[MARLIN] You know, I was thinking,
"I wish I could sleep until 8:00".
- [EXHALES SHARPLY]
- He's one spoiled kid, you know that?
[SNIFFS]
[INHALES SHARPLY]
[CLEARS THROAT, SIGHS]
- I gotta go.
- [IMITATING DANNY] I gotta go.
[CHUCKLES]
You know, how come you and me never
spend any time together no more?
Hey. [CLICKS FINGERS]
- Look at me when I'm talking to you. Okay?
- [EXHALES SHAKILY]
What, you don't like me?
[CANDY] Danny, let's go.
I can't be late.
- Get a move on, please.
- I've gotta go.
[SIGHS] You don't disrespect me
in this house, mister.
- You understand me? You
- Marlin, what the hell is going on here?
- [SIGHS]
- Take Take your hand off him.
Oh, that so? Y You gonna make me?
What [STAMMERS, CHUCKLES]
- Danny, go.
- [BREATHES DEEPLY]
[MARLIN] Geez. [GROANS]
Yeah, Danny. Go.
[BREATHING HEAVILY, GRUNTS]
[MARLIN CLEARS THROAT]
[SCOFFING] You're pitiful.
Yeah, well, I'm all you've got, Candy.
So, what the fuck does
that say about you?
Have a nice day.
[CANDY] Lunch.
Okay, let's go. Come on.
Man, you have got to get yourself
some stickers or something.
It's so barren in there
it's full-on tragic.
What's up, Jonny?
Oh, you've got that look again.
Bad shit this morning?
Your asshole stepfather?
God, I hate him.
Well, do you wanna see a thing?
- Sure.
- All right, pick a card. Any card.
- That one. Yeah.
- This guy? Okay.
Where's Mike?
Uh, that varsity thing
in Philly, remember?
- I thought that was over today.
- No.
He's coming tonight though.
He's coming to Joey Lathem's party.
We're going, right?
- Yeah, sure, I guess. [STAMMERS] I
- Hey, freak.
Asshole.
- Are you sure we're invited to that party?
- She put up signs.
The whole class is invited.
I'll come get you at 7:00.
No. Don't come to my house.
I'll meet you in the courtyard.
Okay. Don't blow me off.
- I'm not gonna blow you off.
- And, uh, check your pocket.
And is that your card?
[CHUCKLES] No. [CHUCKLES]
I'll see you later, man.
- See ya.
- [SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
- [JONNY] It's good.
- [DANNY] Thanks.
[JONNY] Is it Adam?
[DANNY] Mm-hmm.
You really miss him a lot, huh?
Yeah, sometimes. Not all the time.
'Cause you can never tell when
it's gonna come on, you know?
Yeah.
It's like I'm drowning
all of a sudden, you know?
It's like that with me
and my dad, I guess.
Even though I never really
thought about it that way.
Come on. Let's go.
Still makes me sad when I think
about him. I just miss him.
You don't know what it was
like with Adam and I.
We weren't just identical on the
outside. We were inseparable.
Can you tell me about him?
Do you want to talk about
what happened to Adam?
No.
Well, no matter the circumstances,
I'm really sorry.
Loss sucks.
Is that your professional opinion?
[CHUCKLES] Something like that.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
- [DANNY] No, no, no.
- Man, I hear the music.
I think we should just go home,
Jonny. I don't I don't
- I don't think I don't thi I
- Let's just try around back.
[WHISPERS] Fuck it.
- [GRUNTS]
- It's a big house.
- Are you sure we're invited to this?
- [CHUCKLES] Yeah, man.
It'll be good.
[PEOPLE LAUGHING, CHATTERING]
Do you see Mike?
[JONNY] Uh, no, but he
said he'd be here.
Yo. Yo, yo, yo. I don't
believe what I'm seeing.
- Danny Sullivan.
- [CHUCKLES] Hey, Mike.
- I'm so happy you're here, bud.
- Good to see you, man.
It's good to see you. How'd
you get him to come here?
You little sneak. Come along. Come
along. There are libations, my boy.
Hey, uh, how was, um, basketball?
I'm good, so it was good.
- [CHUCKLES] Humble much.
- You want a beer?
- No, I'm cool. Yeah, I'm good.
- It might help you loosen up.
- Jonny boy? [SNIFFS]
- Yes, please.
So how'd you play? How'd it go?
- Ah, dude, we played St. Ann's, all right?
- Right.
I put up 18 points, okay. One
board shy of a double-double.
You should've seen
this one play, Danny
[MIKE] Damn.
Who-Who-Who-Who is that? Who is that?
That, my friend, is Annabelle Stone,
the hottest of the hot.
And she's a transfer.
[CHUCKLES] Don't stare, man.
- I'm not staring.
- Do you wanna go talk to her?
- I don't wanna talk to her.
- You should.
I'm not gonna go talk to her.
- They got a bottle over there.
- Yeah, let's go hit the bottle.
I wanna do that more than
talk to the pretty girl.
["LOVELY DAY" PLAYING]
[CHATTER, LAUGHS]
Hi, I'm Annabelle.
Danny. Hi.
How you doing, Danny?
I'm do I'm doing good.
How are you doing?
I'm good. You okay?
I'm okay. Why?
'Cause you're out here on your own.
I like my own company.
- You smoke?
- Mm-hmm.
Sometimes. A few times, anyway.
Do you wanna get high?
Yeah, totally.
Cool.
You have a joint or something?
Oh, no, I thought that
y you had a joint.
I'm so I'm sorry.
I'm That was stupid. I
- It's okay. [CHUCKLES]
- Annabelle! Annabelle!
- [BREATHES HEAVILY, CHUCKLING] Come on.

[SNIFFS]
[MARLIN] About time.
Sit down. [INHALES SHARPLY]
[CHUCKLING] Come on, sit with me.
[INHALES SHARPLY]
Did someone move into the ghost house?
[MARLIN] A ghost.
Who are you staring at?
[CHUCKLES] Come on, sit with me.
[INHALES DEEPLY]
I have homework.
Well, get inside then.
Go.
[INTERVIEWER] So that was
the first time you saw Yitzhak?
Yes. [SIGHS]
And Ariana?
[SLURPS, SWALLOWS]
I didn't see her. Not that night anyway.
- But she was with him?
- I don't know.
Maybe not yet. It was years
ago. I don't remember.
So do you think that Ariana's
with him now?
I keep telling you.
I don't know where she is.
[SIGHS]
Yitzhak. Even the name sounds exotic.
Did it strike you as strange,
him being there?
What do you mean?
Did he seem at all out of place
in your suburban neighborhood?
[GRUNTS]
Danny?
I think Yitzhak would
have been pretty much
out of place in any neighborhood.
When did he show up again?
What were the circumstances?
[SWALLOWS]
Things had been getting pretty bad
at home between my stepfather and I.
I'd been spending more and more
time out of the house, I guess.
- Oh, shit.
- [CAR HORN HONKS, TIRES SCREECH]
I can't believe you crashed your bike.
Oh, relax. I'm immortal.
Yeah, tell that to the splotch
on the pavement.
[CHUCKLES] Mellow, man. Not melodrama.
[CHUCKLES] Hilarious.
[JONNY] Check it out.
Ghost house has got itself
a ghost. What's he doing?
- Gardening?
- [WHISTLES]
- Oh, shit. Oh, hey.
- [CHUCKLES]
What's up, losers? What's going on?
- Oh, shit. Ghost house got itself a ghost.
- Yeah.
That's what I said.
That's a big-ass ghost. Who is he?
[JONNY] How should we know?
Well, you're not gonna
learn a lot standing here.
- [GROANS, SIGHS]
- Mike. Mike. Mike.
[MIKE] Hey, man. Hey, how's it going?
I'm-I'm Mike. This is Jonny. And,
uh, Danny here's your neighbor.
He lives across the street.
Hi.
Hello. I'm Yitzhak.
Oh. [CHUCKLES, STAMMERS]
You're, uh, not from around here.
What gave me away?
I'm from Israel.
Cool.
Nice to meet you, boys.
[INTERVIEWER] So what did
he say? Do you remember?
If you could be precise as possible,
it'd be really helpful.
He said he was reopening
the boardinghouse,
and he might have said
he had some business in the area.
Business? What kind of business?
Did he say?
- Mm-mmm.
- And Ariana?
I guess she was in the house,
hadn't met her yet.
There were some assaults
in Elm Ridge that year.
[DISTORTED SIRENS WAIL]
Statistically uncommon
for the area. Still unsolved.
[SCOFFS] What do you want me to say,
that she was off attacking people?
So, what happened then?
[DANNY] Um, Jonny had an idea.
[DANNY] It was a ploy
to help me out with Annabelle.
Saw your girlfriend Annabelle
getting pizza at Renaldo's.
Did she ask about me?
[MIKE] She might be more useful
as a girlfriend if she knew you existed.
Details, details.
Nah, I'm serious, dude. You
should ask her out or something.
[DANNY] She's not gonna
wanna go out with me.
- Why not?
- Let's start with "why?"
- Maybe.
- [MIKE] You need more confidence, dude.
I mean, didn't she ask
to get high together?
- Just ask her back.
- [DANNY] You know what, Mike?
- That's actually a really great idea.
- Thank you.
The only problem is that
I don't have any grass.
[MIKE] Details, details.
Well, we should remedy that.
- [DANNY] What do you mean?
- Think about it. Girls like pot.
We like girls. Transitive property
- Pot likes girls?
- [JONNY CHUCKLES]
Hey, I owe you from last week.
There's a guy who deals
out of the old park in Ellenville.
Wait, you want us to buy pot?
No, I I want us to buy a lot of pot.
Uh, okay. How much are we talking about?
We buy an ounce, it's 100 bucks.
We sell it, we get 150.
My bike's fixed, you get new shades,
and Danny gets to keep enough weed
to get laid over and over again.
- It's not a bad plan.
- [MIKE] No, no, it's a great plan.
Only, where the hell are
we gonna get 100 bucks?
Those, uh, new cash machines.
You said your asshole
stepfather uses them, right?
Mm-hmm.
And you said he, uh, keeps the code
in in his underwear drawer.
Motherfucker is scary and stupid.
So, all we gotta do is get the code
and his card, and we're good to go.
And then what? We're
gonna steal his money?
- Jonny, no.
- [CHUCKLES] No, man. I mean, we borrow it.
How often does he even use it?
Is he a regular?
Yeah, Saturdays he gets cash out
for offtrack betting,
and then he deposits his checks.
Don't you need that key?
No, man. [CHUCKLES]
Don't underestimate
- Danny! Geez.
- [CAR HONKS]
So we've got a whole week to put his
money back before he even notices.
I don't know, Jonny, it kind
of seems like a terrible idea.
Well, alternatively,
how great would it be
to not be broke all the time?
You could get high with Annabelle
as much as you wanted.
[MIKE] Look, wouldn't it be easier
to just buy a few loose joints?
- Exactly.
- You want her to know you're broke?
You want to be like,
"Hey, Annie, babe, uh
[STAMMERS] let's smoke some weed,
but o-only one joint this week
because that that's
- all my broke-ass can afford".
- Yeah, yeah.
Jonny, I'm not even really sure
she wants to anyway.
Oh, but don't you wanna find out?
I mean, think about it.
- Annabelle naked.
- Jonny.
Man, screw Farrah Faw [STAMMERS]
Nah, screw Annabelle.
Dude, Marlin would literally
kill him if he found out.
And [STAMMERS] the answer
to that is literally simple.
We don't get caught.
[CHUCKLING]
- There you go, Danny.
- Ah, come on.
- There you go.
- Hi, can I have a What do you want?
- Vanilla-cherry dip, please?
- [DANNY] It was gonna be so easy.
We waited until he got back
from the bar that night.
He always got passed-out drunk
on a Saturday.
[INHALES DEEPLY] My mom worked
a double shift at the hospital.
So you figured you'd
just get in, get out?
The whole plan was gonna
go off without a hitch.

[MIKE] Son of a bitch was right.
I know. I can't believe he sold it all.
- [SCOFFS] In an afternoon. [CHUCKLES]
- In an afternoon. Right?
- Unbelievable.
- [DANNY GRUNTS]
Oh, geez. Danny.
Danny, you all right, man?
Ow. I'm okay.
Oh, incoming, six o'clock.
Danny, why are you still
standing next to me?
[STAMMERS]
Go talk to Annabelle.
No.
What do you mean "no"?
[STAMMERS] Dude, this is your chance.
Be brave, Danny.
- I can be brave.
- Yeah. You got this.
Hi, Annabelle.
Hi.
- Danny, right?
- Right.
- This is my friend, Eden.
- [DANNY] Hi, Eden.
[WHISPERS] Eden.
- Wow.
- [CHUCKLES] I know. It's her superpower.
- What is?
- Being dismissive.
- Oh, yes, true.
- [CHUCKLES]
I was wondering what you
were up to this weekend.
I got Charlotte's party. Are you going?
Wasn't invited.
Oh, um, that's just Saturday anyway.
Well, if you're not doing
anything tonight, I, um
I actually got some pot,
and I thought we could get
some beers and just hang out.
[EDEN] Bullshit.
You don't have any pot.
You just want to get your
fingers down her jeans.
I do too have pot.
I actually have a ton.
W A ton? Is that how
they're selling it now?
[STAMMERS] It's figurative. W We
We have an ounce. We're selling it.
I I actually have three
dime bags in my locker.
- Bullshit.
- Eden, stop.
You were saying?
Well, I just thought that maybe we could
hang out under the bridge or something.
Um, yeah, sure.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, tonight at 7:00?
[CHUCKLES] Sure.
- [CHUCKLES] Hey.
- [CHUCKLES] Hey.
- How you doing?
- I'm good. How are you?
- What's so funny?
- Nothing.
- Oh, I'm talking to you, freak.

I'm gonna have to ask you
to open your locker.
What?
Mr. Sullivan, open your locker,
please. Right now.
Why?
We've had a report that you have
marijuana on school grounds.
I don't have any marijuana.
So you say. Open it now, please.

Take your time.

hell is wrong with you?
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- Shut up! With me. Get out.
- Get out. Get out.
- [BILL] Look, just don't tell my dad.
It's actually legal for him
to hit you, if they want.
Relax, I handled it. [CHUCKLES] Come on.
You handled it? Wait, what
what the fuck just happened?
How come I'm not going to jail?
Uh, I saw Bill and Eden talking
after lunch. I didn't like it.
- I got a-a bad feeling.
- A bad feeling?
[JONNY] So?
I [STAMMERS] I didn't have time
to get you, so I got Jonny.

Wait, wait, wait, ho hold on,

How the fuck did you get into my locker?
I mean, how many times
do I have to keep telling you?
I'm magic. [CHUCKLES]
Okay, you're magic,

Just never actually occurred to me.

know, just speak to him.
- Do it for me. Thank you.
- [EDEN] Yeah, okay.
- Hey.

You lied about what was in your locker.
No, I didn't. Uh, I drew
this for Annabelle.
Oh, yeah. She told me to tell you
that, um, last night was fun
but it's not gonna work out between
the two of you. She says sorry.

shy of a murder charge.
What about the girl, Ariana?
That's a pretty name.
There's no sign of her either.
I'm thinking that he offed her
and the landlord.
This is what happens when your partner
reads one book on serial killers.
- [SIGHS]
- So, come on, what do you think?
- Is he one?
- It's not that simple.
There are a number of dispositive
factors that I'm not seeing.
And the nature of the crime's
inconsistent with his
Or "crimes", right? What about the girl?
What about the landlord?
We got no weapon. We got no bodies.
No, we know he has a gun. There's
blood on the floor of the house.
There's signs of a struggle, and
there's a bullet hole in the glass.
- It's circumstantial.
- Yeah, but what if he is?
What if we caught one?
Did he tell you what he was doing
firing a gun at Rockefeller Center?
Yeah. Uh, him and the girl, they
wanted to scare someone, he says.
- Who?
- Won't say.
Says it wouldn't serve.
Huh.
So, what do you think?

Well, I'm just here to talk.
About what happened with Ariana. I know.
Do you know where she is, Danny?
No.
Like I told the police,
I haven't seen her since
what happened on the street.
Well, the police can't find her either.
What happened to Yitzhak, your landlord?
I don't know.
Well, if you can't tell me
where they are now,
can you tell me how you ended up
living with them in that house?
It was a rooming house.
I was rooming there.
Danny, I'm trying to help you.
Okay.
W When did you first meet them,
Ariana and Yitzhak?
Junior year, high school.
Could you be as precise as possible?
Um, 1977. Spring. The sun was shining.
[CHUCKLES]
I wasn't a very popular kid at school.

[JONNY] Is it Adam?
[DANNY] Mm-hmm.
You really miss him a lot, huh?
Yeah, sometimes. Not all the time.
'Cause you can never tell when
it's gonna come on, you know?
Yeah.
It's like I'm drowning
all of a sudden, you know?
It's like that with me
and my dad, I guess.
Even though I never really
thought about it that way.
Come on. Let's go.
Still makes me sad when I think
about him. I just miss him.
You don't know what it was
like with Adam and I.
We weren't just identical on the
outside. We were inseparable.
Can you tell me about him?
Do you want to talk about
what happened to Adam?
No.
Well, no matter the circumstances,
I'm really sorry.
Loss sucks.
Is that your professional opinion?
[CHUCKLES] Something like that.

So how'd you play? How'd it go?
- Ah, dude, we played St. Ann's, all right?

You should've seen

[MIKE] Damn.
Who-Who-Who-Who is that? Who is that?
That, my friend, is Annabelle Stone,

- Do you wanna go talk to her?
- I don't wanna talk to her.
- You should.
I'm not gonna go talk to her.

talk to the pretty girl.

[INTERVIEWER] So that was

Yes. [SIGHS]
And Ariana?
[SLURPS, SWALLOWS]
I didn't see her. Not that night anyway.
- But she was with him?
- I don't know.
Maybe not yet. It was years
ago. I don't remember.
So do you think that Ariana's
with him now?
I keep telling you.
I don't know where she is.
[SIGHS]
Yitzhak. Even the name sounds exotic.
Did it strike you as strange,
him being there?
What do you mean?
Did he seem at all out of place
in your suburban neighborhood?
[GRUNTS]
Danny?
I think Yitzhak would
have been pretty much
out of place in any neighborhood.
When did he show up again?
What were the circumstances?
[SWALLOWS]
Things had been getting pretty bad
at home between my stepfather and I.
I'd been spending more and more
time out of the house, I guess.
- Oh, shit.

Hi.
Hello. I'm Yitzhak.
Oh. [CHUCKLES, STAMMERS]
You're, uh, not from around here.
What gave me away?
I'm from Israel.
Cool.
Nice to meet you, boys.
[INTERVIEWER] So what did
he say? Do you remember?
If you could be precise as possible,
it'd be really helpful.
He said he was reopening
the boardinghouse,
and he might have said
he had some business in the area.
Business? What kind of business?
Did he say?
- Mm-mmm.
- And Ariana?
I guess she was in the house,
hadn't met her yet.
There were some assaults
in Elm Ridge that year.
[DISTORTED SIRENS WAIL]
Statistically uncommon
for the area. Still unsolved.
[SCOFFS] What do you want me to say,
that she was off attacking people?
So, what happened then?
[DANNY] Um, Jonny had an idea.
[DANNY] It was a ploy
to help me out with Annabelle.
Saw your girlfriend Annabelle
getting pizza at Renaldo's.
Did she ask about me?
[MIKE] She might be more useful
as a girlfriend if she knew you existed.
Details, details.
Nah, I'm serious, dude. You
should ask her out or something.
[DANNY] She's not gonna
wanna go out with me.
- Why not?
- Let's start with "why?"
- Maybe.
- [MIKE] You need more confidence, dude.
I mean, didn't she ask
to get high together?
- Just ask her back.
- [DANNY] You know what, Mike?
- That's actually a really great idea.
- Thank you.
The only problem is that
I don't have any grass.
[MIKE] Details, details.
Well, we should remedy that.
- [DANNY] What do you mean?
- Think about it. Girls like pot.
We like girls. Transitive property
- Pot likes girls?
- [JONNY CHUCKLES]
Hey, I owe you from last week.
There's a guy who deals
out of the old park in Ellenville.
Wait, you want us to buy pot?
No, I I want us to buy a lot of pot.
Uh, okay. How much are we talking about?
We buy an ounce, it's 100 bucks.
We sell it, we get 150.
My bike's fixed, you get new shades,
and Danny gets to keep enough weed
to get laid over and over again.
- It's not a bad plan.
- [MIKE] No, no, it's a great plan.
Only, where the hell are
we gonna get 100 bucks?
Those, uh, new cash machines.
You said your asshole
stepfather uses them, right?
Mm-hmm.
And you said he, uh, keeps the code
in in his underwear drawer.
Motherfucker is scary and stupid.
So, all we gotta do is get the code
and his card, and we're good to go.
And then what? We're
gonna steal his money?
- Jonny, no.
- [CHUCKLES] No, man. I mean, we borrow it.
How often does he even use it?
Is he a regular?
Yeah, Saturdays he gets cash out
for offtrack betting,
and then he deposits his checks.
Don't you need that key?
No, man. [CHUCKLES]
Don't underestimate
- Danny! Geez.
- [CAR HONKS]
So we've got a whole week to put his
money back before he even notices.
I don't know, Jonny, it kind
of seems like a terrible idea.
Well, alternatively,
how great would it be
to not be broke all the time?
You could get high with Annabelle
as much as you wanted.
[MIKE] Look, wouldn't it be easier
to just buy a few loose joints?
- Exactly.
- You want her to know you're broke?
You want to be like,
"Hey, Annie, babe, uh
[STAMMERS] let's smoke some weed,
but o-only one joint this week
because that that's
- all my broke-ass can afford".
- Yeah, yeah.
Jonny, I'm not even really sure
she wants to anyway.
Oh, but don't you wanna find out?
I mean, think about it.
- Annabelle naked.
- Jonny.
Man, screw Farrah Faw [STAMMERS]
Nah, screw Annabelle.
Dude, Marlin would literally
kill him if he found out.
And [STAMMERS] the answer
to that is literally simple.
We don't get caught.
[CHUCKLING]
- There you go, Danny.
- Ah, come on.
- There you go.
- Hi, can I have a What do you want?
- Vanilla-cherry dip, please?
- [DANNY] It was gonna be so easy.
We waited until he got back
from the bar that night.
He always got passed-out drunk
on a Saturday.
[INHALES DEEPLY] My mom worked
a double shift at the hospital.
So you figured you'd
just get in, get out?
The whole plan was gonna
go off without a hitch.

Where is Ariana?
