Shit.

- (screams)
- What the fuck! Did you get it?
- For fuck's sake!
- Yes!
- Okay, shh. Let's go.
(upbeat music plays) ♪
I think we should call the police.
Why would we call the cops
if we've done nothing wrong?
Daniel?
(police siren wails)
This is big.
Someone should visit the woman
that reported this.
- Okay.
- Good luck.
Good evening, ma'am.
Did you see anything unusual?
I gave a couple of hikers
a lift at the station.
LAUREL: The Thirsty Cactus.
Can we do this there?
We can have a drink.
If I don't go and tell the truth now,
I'm gonna look like a suspect.
If we don't get to L.A., we end here.
Why are you doing this?
Run.
Don't say that unless you mean it.
Run.

You fixed its face.
No, I just took a face
from another badger.
Right, yeah.
I wish someone could do that for me.
You want me to put your

with you was very unprofessional.
I won't tell anyone.
Well, thank you because
I would get fired
If you let me make you breakfast.

- No then.
Is he kind?
- Yes.
- No then.
- Billy.
- Is he gonna take you back?
Come on. I'm not stupid, Ruby.
I know what you think of me.
You think that I'm vain,
and full of shit, and that I'm a liar,
and I am.
But, uh,
I'm also fun, and I love
you to fuckin' pieces,
so you took a break
to be with me for a while.
It was always just a break.
The second I saw that photo
of you and your family
in that fuckin' phone, and
I knew you wouldn't choose me.
I've known this whole trip
that you're going back
to him once it ends.
All I've been trying
to do the last four days
is just make you like me enough
that you miss me.
I want you to miss me
every day for the rest of your
fuckin' life.
I want you to think of me
and want me
and love me even though you're with him.
And I need you
to remember me well
'cause you're the love of my life
and I know you're leaving me again
for good.
And I understand why.
And you're right.
You idiot.
I'm a sentimental idiot.
When I go see him,
I'm gonna tell him that it's over.
- Is this a windup?
- I've decided.
'Cause we hardly know each other.
Billy.
Do you promise?
I promise.
I'm sorry that I never finished
your book or saw your talk.
It's all fucking bollocks anyway.
- I was jealous.
- I know.
Fucking asshole.
- Show it to me.
- My asshole?
No, your talk! Show it to me!
Oh, uh, no.
- Please, I really wanna see it.
- I would rather show you
- my actual asshole, honestly.
- Well.
- It's more inspiring, at least for Oh, I don't
- Get it out!
Really?
Okay.
Here we go.
Go on then.
I mean, will you kiss me first?
(giggles)
LAUREL: Daniel is innocent.
Did you even tell
anyone about the hikers?
Yes, I did. I do know what I'm doing.
I know we had sex last night,
which makes me unprofessional,
but that is balanced out by
the fact that I have reported
every bit of information
you've given me.
The train to LA, the cancer mom,
the fact that you thought her
name was pretty like a jewel,
and generally, what
a lovely person you were
to take 'em to the station
and hide Daniel
because he's a nice guy
Stop looking at me like that!

- I am doing everything in my power
to be on top of this investigation!
- Ryan?
- RYAN (on phone): I've left you three messages
about a lead on the hikers.
What have you been doing?
I'm investigating Miss Halliday!
Hey, Ryan, what's the lead?
- RYAN: Miss Halliday?
- What's the lead?
RYAN: A truck driver reported
a man and woman jumping off his vehicle
close to the next station from here.
Yeah. We think it's the hikers.
Sheriff says we need
to follow the train,
but we don't know where they're headed.
- I do. They're headed to
- LA!
- RYAN: Copy.
- Yeah.
(disconnects phone)
LAUREL: So, I guess we
should go get the hikers.
