In The Dark (2019) s04e08 Episode Script

Hi, Paula.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
Um, seriously, where do I drop you off?
They're gonna check out
every place I've ever been
and talk to anyone who knows me.
I'm staying with you for a little bit.
What? No, I'll pay for a hotel.
A hotel?
I'll get recognized.
It's just gonna take a minute
for my people figure out something.
It's fine.
It's not very big.
I just have it when I work late
and I don't want to leave the city.
Nice view.
So
how long do you think
you're gonna need to stay here?
Until I get in touch with my boss.
Hopefully, he'll have
a place for me soon.
So I'll probably want you
to drop some things off periodically.
Clothes, groceries, a phone, you know.
Oh, and my guy Trevor,
he'll stop by
and bring me dinner and stuff.
Okay.
So, you can go.
Oh, my God.
What are you doing here?
Me? What are you
Murphy, I can't do this right now.
I can't hear your apology.
Just get out of my face.
I'm not here to apologize.
I-I'm trying to find Paula.
What the hell is going on?
It's my apartment, Murphy.
I made that stupid deal to save Felix,
and I couldn't find a legal way
to get her out.
And then she was gonna kill me,
and here I am.
Oh.
Well, I-I really need to talk to her.
Why?
Well, I just do.
You're not wearing that ankle monitor.
That bizarre mistrial
You got a deal, didn't you?
So, what? Deliver Paula
in return for your freedom?
- Oh, my God.
- Please let me talk to her.
- Listen to me.
- Please?
Do not tell the cops about this, okay?
Do not tell the cops about this.
I will go to jail
if she doesn't kill me first.
I know you don't care
about what happens to me,
but I do, okay? So please.
Just go.
Go. Go.
Who was that?
Um, just a package.
Where is it?
What?
The package.
Oh, it was for my neighbor.
He has me sign for him
when he's not home.
Hmm.
See?
Where is he? He's never this late.
I'm starving.
I don't know.
I can grab you some food if you want.
You can order me something.
What do you want?
A burrito's fine.
I also need you to stay with
me tonight. Maybe longer.
I'm sorry?
- Something's up.
- What?
My boss doesn't like his
people drawing attention.
Which I clearly did.
He hasn't answered any of
my texts since I've been here,
and now Trevor isn't, either.
I don't think I understand.
He's edging me out.
- Who is?
- My boss.
I'm not I-I mean
I don't think
I'm equipped to protect you.
Oh, I'm not asking you
to protect me, babe.
I just need you to scream first
so that I have time to escape.
Um, my phone's about to die.
I have to go to my car
to get the charger.
Charger?
I'm at three percent.
I need a charger and yours doesn't work.
Mm-hmm. Hurry.
be sure to
call the anonymous tip line
or your local police department
if they come across
any information at all
that you believe
could lead to the arrest
I can't believe you told her.
I didn't tell her, she figured it out.
And yes, shockingly fast.
Let's just go.
No. We have to convince
her to work with us.
It's literally
our only option right now.
- Oh, thank God.
- You need to leave.
Just hear us out for a second?
No.
We can help you, Lesley.
Help me? You have ruined my life
on a level I can't fully comprehend.
You have destroyed my brother,
my relationship, everything.
And now you're gonna
get me killed, so just move.
Geez Ow!
- Oh, my God.
- You okay?
- I guess.
- Look, look, look, look, look.
I get that you have issues with Murphy.
I don't blame you, but you do need help.
- I'm good.
- You're not good.
We can try to bring you in on her deal.
Your other option
is we go to the cops
and tell them where Paula is,
and then you go to jail
for, like, forever.
Yeah, which I'm sure you'd love,
so you and Max can live
happily ever after.
We're not together. It's done.
- Sure.
- Fine, don't believe me.
- I don't.
- Okay.
Can we focus on the situation?
You really want Paula staying with you?
Can't imagine that was your idea.
I can't.
If we go to the cops,
then I have to confess
with absolutely
zero guarantee of immunity.
We can get them to agree beforehand.
Cops lie. She lies. No.
Look, all we need to do is find out
who Paula's boss is,
whoever's in charge of Bolt,
then everyone's good.
You guys are good. What I need
is her out of my apartment.
Which will happen.
Okay? We turn in Paula's boss,
they go down, Paula will flee.
No one ever has to know she was here.
Trust me.
Has she mentioned anything
about who she's working for?
All she said is that her boss
isn't texting her back.
Okay, so get her phone.
Get her phone
and we can get the contact.
It's not that easy.
She literally showers with that thing.
Can you get it while she's sleeping?
I don't know, Murphy. I don't
I don't know what to do.
I'm honestly too terrified
to even go back up there.
She thinks her boss wants her
dead, and she wants to use me
as, like, a human shield or something.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Why does she
think her boss wants her dead?
Because her face is
plastered all over the news
and apparently he doesn't
like any attention,
now this dude Trevor isn't responding
and she thinks that means
that they're "edging her out."
So that's why she thinks
someone is after her?
Because this Trevor guy
isn't texting her back?
Yeah.
Don't.
- Come on.
- Don't what?
- Nothing.
- Don't what?
Don't what?
Trevor's dead.
Great.
What else you want me to do?
- Did you guys
- No, of course not.
We didn't do anything,
there was a little accident, um
Trevor he slipped.
And he fell and he
and he, and he's no longer with us.
You can't say anything
because we obviously
have leverage on you.
My point is
that Paula's paranoia
is based on nothing.
Okay? No one is coming after her.
Which means you're safe
to go back up there
and get her phone while she's sleeping.
Just write down the number of the boss.
We'll take care of the rest.
Please, Lesley.
Okay.
- Cool.
- Yeah.
Thanks.
We'll, uh, call you first thing.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
Your mom called me.
Oh, my God.
What is going on?
Nothing.
Dude.
Look.
I'm not an idiot.
I know you're back
doing what we used to.
No, you don't know anything, Max, okay?
You arean idiot. Just go.
What is going on?
Okay, this is borderline stalking.
I literally can't not be with you.
Okay? I-I had an out.
Like, an actual job, maybe even
a life, and I didn't want it.
I just love you more than anything.
- Murph.
- I don't know what to say.
Sorry. That sucks for you.
Whatever.
Keep pushing me away.
I couldn't get it.
She sleeps with that thing
inches from her head.
There was no way.
Well, you know, you
probably could've gotten it
if you tiptoed.
Instead of that, you
know, lumber of yours.
- What? I don't lumber.
- Yes, you do.
- You walk with a very heavy foot.
- Guys.
Stop. Okay? We need to figure out how
- we're gonna get that phone.
- I'm telling you,
she doesn't let it out of her sight.
We're gonna have to pry it
out of her cold dead hands.
You are not killing her.
I'm not suggesting that, you psycho.
We need to get her in, like, a
- like a death-like state.
- What?
Like, drug her?
Huh. Not a terrible plan.
How is that not a terrible plan?
You have another one?
That is how.
Don't you have sleeping pills?
Yeah, but I have no idea
what the balance is
of giving her enough
that she passes out,
but not so much that it kills her.
I'm not risking that
because I don't kill people.
Well, la-de-da.
Sleeping pills wouldn't work anyway.
If she woke up
Some jackass roofied me once.
- What?
- Yeah.
It was fine. I mean, Jess
she noticed and took me home,
but I don't remember anything.
And I was out for, like, hours.
I mean, I guess roofies are designed
for exactly what we need
knock someone out fast and have
them not remember what happened.
Right. So, we just need to figure out
how to get our hands on some.
Why are you guys looking at me?
I don't have roofies.
Sorry. Excuse me for assuming
that the former drug dealer
might know how to get drugs.
Uh, you are also a former drug dealer.
That's fair.
I actually might know how
we might be able to get them.
Back when I was a public defender,
I helped this guy Jake get off
on date-rape charges.
I love how you were bragging
about not killing people.
He didn't do it.
Look.
He didn't deserve to go to jail
because his friends assaulted someone.
Okay.
Anyway,
I know the bar where they got them.
Hopefully, this bartender
still works there,
and maybe we can buy some off of him.
Weird thing to hope for, but sure.
Josh, hi.
- Oh.
- Ooh, sorry.
Sorry.
Sorry. I was
I was waving. I didn't
- Anyway, I forgot. Sorry.
- It's okay. It's okay.
- Um
- It happens.
Annoyingly often these days.
Uh, please.
Um, hi.
Hi.
Uh, what do you have here?
Uh, it's just
It's some stuff I compiled.
- May I?
- Yeah, please.
Wow. This is
Insane? Crazy?
- Dead brother will do that to you,
- I guess. No, no, no.
Honestly, I was gonna say "impressive."
- Really?
- Really.
I, um I guess it's good to know
that there's someone out there
who also wants
to see Murphy Mason go down
as badly as me.
Yeah, well, she's a horrible,
deranged murderer
who will lie, cheat, or kill
to avoid going to therapy, so
Exactly my Exactly.
And when she stands trial a second time,
she'll be found guilty.
I'll make sure of it.
I'm just worried
she might flee in the meantime.
So, if we can get her on moving
your brother's body, then
She'll go back to jail and
actually pay for what she did.
I don't get it. We know that
Ben died at the Linsmore,
and we know that Murphy
was there at the same time.
Like, how is that not enough?
Because there's no proof
that Ben was even there.
They broke all the security cameras.
Not in the storage room.
Did Ben go in the storage room?
No.
Do you still have that footage?
I do, yeah.
Okay, I have pretty good audio software.
Maybe I could I don't know
maybe I could
try and enhance the background audio,
see if we can hear anything at the bar.
- You really think you could do that?
- Maybe.
I also have some things I want
to show you at my apartment.
My my Murphy file isn't
as compact as yours.
So I don't
Maybe you want
to swing by my flat tonight?
Yeah, tonight works.
Great.
Hey, my man, how you doing tonight?
- I'm all right. Yourself?
- Good, good.
Um, I heard you could
hook me up with something.
You want another IPA?
I'm talking about something
a little stronger
for a date I'm meeting later.
Sorry. Uh, who told you to come here?
Uh, my boy.
My boy Jake.
I don't know a Jake.
What did you want from me? Huh? Huh?
He clearly works through word of mouth,
and I didn't have a name.
So you chose Jake?
You chose Jake? The guy who
got caught with roofies?
I panicked.
I didn't know what else to say.
Well perfect.
Oh, my God. Paula just texted me.
She wants me to come back.
She's freaking out
because Trevor still
hasn't responded to her.
Here, I got it. I got it.
What are you doing?
Pretending to be Trevor.
You just carry around his phone?
Yeah. I'll just say, uh,
"They're making me do late deliveries.
"Can't say 'no.'
You know how it is."
Did she say anything?
"Trevor's being a little bitch.
Pick me up dinner."
Well
I guess we just go, regroup tomorrow?
Okay.
I'll pay the tab.
Damn it.
Damn it, damn it, damn it.
So, are you and Max really done?
Yeah.
After all that?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
- What?
- That's
Oh, my God!
Uh, Jake?
Jesus.
No, no, no. I think that's
That's-that's
That's the old guy.
- There you go. You're doing good.
- What?
Just get you in the car, and
get you home nice and safe.
- Hey!
- Jake?!
- Let her go, man.
- We're good, dude. We're good.
- She just had too much to
- Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Darnell.
Damn it!
Y'all good, let's see.
Yeah, we're out here in the back. Yeah.
I'll wait till you guys get here.
Well, the cops are on their way.
- I, uh I'll make sure she's okay.
- All right.
Hey.
So you guys will spike the tequila.
I'll pick up Paula's food, meet
you guys back there in a bit.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Actually, wait.
What are you doing?
Making sure this guy goes down.
For good this time.
And the cops need
to bust the bartender, too.
- Yeah.
- You'll make sure?
- I'll make sure.
- All right.
You okay? Here. Put your arm around me.
Put your arm around me.
Keep your head up.
You're all right.
You okay?
I'm great. I just
helped that guy get off.
Believed every word
that came out of his mouth.
And because of me,
he's continued doing that
to girls for years.
It's not because of you.
He's just disgusting.
Seriously, men are the worst.
I I love how we're
the emotional ones, you know,
but then, they're literally the
biggest babies on the planet.
I guarantee you
some girl cheated on that guy.
Or his mom didn't hug him enough.
Yes, or he's a sociopath
with zero feelings.
Or he has feelings, he's just
too inept to deal with them.
Right, so then he-he
he drugs and rapes girls
to get out his, whatever, un
just unsolved anger.
Why don't you just learn
how to cry, you loser?
I just still feel like such an
idiot for believing him, though.
Par for the course, I guess.
I am really sorry
about the whole Max thing.
I'm sorry.
Whatever. It's not like
we were friends anyway.
And you're not the one
who cheated on me. He did.
It's still not good.
Yeah, well, it is what it is.
It's my fault, too.
I let the dude move in
with me after, like, a week.
Yeah, but I mean,
you are kind of a lesbian,
and I feel like it makes sense.
Sorry.
He tried to get back
together with you, right?
- After I found out?
- You really doing this?
That's a "yes."
Unbelievable.
And then, when you rejected him,
he had the audacity to climb
back to into bed with me,
and was all like
"Baby, baby, I'm-I'm so sorry."
"I love you so much.
Like, come here."Okay.
Mm, the begging. I-I can't. I
- He's so dramatic.
- I'm pretty sure, at one point,
he got down on his hands and knees.
- No. No. Don't.
- Yes.
Oh, shut up. That's so embarrassing.
Um, I-I
My car is here. You, um
- Do you need help in?
- Uh, no. I'm good.
- Okay.
- Okay, thanks.
Yeah, well, anyway,
it took everything in me
not to laugh in his face.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Oh, hi. Who's this?
- That's Oliver.
- Who's this? Hi.
- Ollie!
- Who's this?
Ollie, come on, mate. Leave her alone.
Sorry. He knows better than that.
- It's fine.
- Yeah.
Um, please don't judge the mess.
I used to have a very
organized filing system, but
it's become really hard to read.
This is a lot bigger than my folder.
Uh, do you want a beer or something?
- Yeah, a beer would be great.
- Sweet.
Uh, did you get anything from that tape?
Uh, unfortunately no.
The, um, background audio
was too far away.
- Ollie.
- Ugh. That sucks.
Yeah. I know.
Okay, Ollie, that's a good boy. Go on.
Um, I was also combing through
some of the financial records
at Guiding Hope.
I mean, if we can get her
on-on money laundering
or-or something, then
I know it's not getting justice
- for your brother's death, but I-I
- Listen.
All I want is for Murphy to be
behind bars, like, forever,
so, whatever way
we can get that done, so
All right.
I-I know it's not
traditional Friday fun,
but you want to help?
Not to brag, but I did get
an "A" in AP calculus.
Well, this isn't like calculus.
It's, I guess, more looking for
sketchy financial transactions.
Well, that's good,
'cause I actually don't remember
anything about calculus.
Zero. Zero about calculus.
Nice. All right, cool.
Well, look through here,
and if you see the name
I-I really needed to feed him,
so thank you for stopping here.
Sure. I needed a place
to do this anyway.
I told Paula I was stuck at work,
so that should buy us some time.
Why did you reject him?
What?
Max.
Uh
just wasn't feeling it.
Mm.
Because of all the CI stuff.
That explains why you're also
blowing off my brother.
I don't want anything bad
to happen to anyone, so
- What's that smell?
- Little trick
I learned in high school
when I stole my dad's booze.
Just water it down and remelt the wax.
He could never tell.
Good boy, buddy.
You're such a good boy.
Okay.
Good boy. You're such a good boy.
Text from Darnell.
Just got the food. Heading over there.
You guys should leave, too.
- See you in a bit.
- Let's go.
Okay.
Here you go.
Here's a spare key
in case you don't hear from me.
And I'll leave your names
with the doorman.
We'll hear from you.
Okay.
Maybe, uh, just delete our texts
just to be safe.
What?
I-I'm just, I mean,
just being extra cautious.
It's like wearing a condom
when you're on your period.
You know, can't hurt.
Okay.
I'll text you when she passes out.
Poker face.
Poker face.
Get in here.
Get in. What took you so long?
I got tied up at work,
and the restaurant took forever.
- Did anyone follow you here?
- No.
- Did you see anyone outside?
- No.
Did you tell anyone I was here?
Paula, come on. No.
Something isn't right.
I can feel it.
Trevor's the last person I could trust,
and our boss is keeping him from me.
I'm being pushed out.
I know how this works.
They want me gone.
Mm-hmm. Which means
that I broke out of prison
just so they could kill me.
Well, I'm not gonna let them.
Well, maybe some food and
a drink would help you relax.
I got you some more tequila.
- It's right there.
- Mm-hmm.
Thanks.
Hmm.
Oh, my God.
And what's this?
Leave it.
You put something in here?
- What? No. I just
- Mm.
Drink, then.
- I, um
- Here.
Drink.
Hmm.
Mm, that's nothing. Have another.
Shouldn't we have heard from her by now?
I don't know.
Probably. Maybe.
This is bad.
Come on. Hey, she's okay.
You don't know that.
I thought there was nothing in there.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Please.
You working with anybody?
No. I swear to God.
Yeah, well, we'll find out.
Come on.
Mm-hmm.
Looks like you've deleted some texts.
I have a hard time believing
you got zero today.
Huh?
Uh, please.
You know what's going
to happen to you now, right?
I'm begging. Please, just
Please.
Please.
Please.
Something's very wrong.
Something is very, very, very wrong.
It's okay, all right?
- Let's just give it a few more minutes.
- No.
She might not have a few more minutes.
- Is that her?
- No, it's Trevor's phone.
Paula's calling him.
I'll just, um, let it go to
voice mail, see what she says.
Look, I don't care
if he's making you work.
You got to come.
Make up an excuse or something.
I need you to help me
with a little problem.
I need you to help me
with a little problem.
Oh, my God. What did she do?
We got to call Gene and Sarah.
Well, it'll be too late, Darnell!
Lesley's gonna be dead by then.
- Oh, um
- If she's not dead already.
Oh, my God. We-we-we
we have to go up there!
Now, just we need to hang on.
We can't hang on!
We talked her into this,
and now Lesley's
- Hey. Hey.
- She's fighting for her life.
Hey, I got this, all right?
Don't worry.
Okay?
All right, um
"You know I can't leave,
"but I'm sending
"the one guy I trust.
"He's another runner.
"He'll do whatever you say.
He's close. Bye."
What did she say?
"Good. Tell him to bring a silencer."
So she's not dead yet.
She's not dead.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah. I got this, okay?
- All right.
- Go.
Yeah.
Come in.
Thanks for coming so quick.
Yeah, Trevor said it was urgent.
Um What's the problem?
Yeah, it's right this way.
She tried to poison me or something.
You got the silencer?
Uh, Trev told me about that,
but I didn't have one on me,
figured time was of the essence.
- I'll just strangle the bitch.
- Just wait.
I got you.
I'll take care of her elsewhere.
You don't want her
to wake up and scream.
Rich woman like this is gonna draw heat.
You don't need any more
attention on you. Trust me.
He say something to you?
Well, he doesn't talk to me,
but between us, he's not happy.
I heard he saw the news coverage.
Well, give me your phone.
You don't want this
to trace back to you.
I'll-I'll wipe it for you.
All right, I got it.
We got to find something to hide her in.
Are you sure she's okay?
Yeah. She will be.
She'll be okay in a couple hours.
You know. I can't believe
you actually got her out.
I told you I would. Oh.
And I also got Paula's phone.
- You're kidding.
- Nope.
She only texted Trevor
and one other number.
It's got to be the boss.
If we can get him to a meeting
where he incriminates himself,
they can arrest him.
But
But Lesley said
Paula's boss isn't answering
any of her texts.
Yeah, 'cause look what
she's been texting.
"Do you have a place for me?"
"I need cash."
"Hello???" with three questions marks.
- So?
- So she's an idiot.
I know how these people operate.
This is how you get a response.
"Got two people for you to meet.
They found a way back into the prison."
Now we wait.
You-you feeling okay?
Yeah, I'm just cold.
We can, uh we can help you in.
No. Felix is here.
I saw him on the door cam.
Go before he sees you.
All right, well, get some rest.
Yeah.
And thanks
for, you know.
Yeah. Sure.
He wants to meet at 10:00.
So that's it?
It's gonna be over?
I think so.
Let me know how it goes.
And you also have my car, so,
you're gonna have
to give it back at some point.
But it's so comfy.
We'll let you know when it's done.
Okay.
Come on, Murphy, let's go.
If I could add up the number
of stupid free drinks I have
given her over the years,
and, like, it was always
- Yeah, yeah, go on, go on.
- Ready?
- Yeah.
- All right.
Oh, um, I-I lost my wallet.
And, um, I don't
I don't know when I'm gonna
be able to find it again.
- That's pretty good.
- Because I can't see anything, and I
- Oh. my God.
- What?
- What? No.
- No.
- No, no, no, no, no.
- No. Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.
- No. Hey, hey, no, no, no, no.
- No.
- Hey no. No, no, no.
- That was so wrong. I'm sorry.
Do you know do you know
how angry that makes me?
- I'm sorry.
- No, at her, not at you.
At her.
You know, the fact she uses
her blindness to
Yeah, it's horrendous.
To be fair, you know, I guess
you could have just stopped
giving her free drinks.
That's on you. No, no,
no, that's on you.
This is coming from a guy
who slept-slept with her.
- Ooh!
- Multiple times!
- Yes, oh, yes, that
- But she
That is fair enough. Fair enough. Ugh.
You win. You win.
What time is it?
20 past.
He's over an hour late.
Why do you keep saying "he"?
Fine. They are late.
Either way, it's not
gonna look good for us.
I'm calling it. They're not coming.
Why?
I don't know, but we should
