In The Dark (2019) s04e11 Episode Script

You ready, babe?
Ready.
No, no
Please, no.
No!
No!
Please
No!
No!
Well, guys, now
that the whole Josh thing
is off the table,
we're back to square zero.
So, what? We're just
We're supposed to go back to trial? I
We know how that's gonna end. I can't
We need to figure out another game plan.
Game plan? We have nothing.
Well, let's figure it out.
Hopefully, we still have
a little bit of time.
I'm really sorry about all this, Murphy.
When I let Trey get away,
I didn't think
Anyway, I'm sorry.
It's fine. I mean, let's just
Can we just think, please?
- It actually isn't fine.
- Max
This should've been over. Done.
But here we are.
Glad Trey's having a great day, though.
- I apologized.
- Cool, thanks.
You guys, my deal is done
if we don't take down the Bolt operation
in the next, like, day.
So, I say we get a warrant for the club.
Get something there.
It's clean. Trey knows what he's doing.
Everything there's legit.
So, how are we gonna get him?
I know y'all want Trey
to go down, okay, and
and he will,
but if you want to stop Bolt, for real,
I think we got to bust
them both at the same time.
Trey and this investor dude.
Why at the same time?
We can't risk them warning
each other. I mean,
Trey can do this on his own,
and so can this investor.
I mean, he'll just find another Trey.
Both too smart.
I thought Trey didn't know
who this guy was.
Yeah, well, I'm pretty sure
he was lying.
I can get it out of him.
And then what?
I doubt there's any dirt on this guy,
whoever he is.
We-we get this investor to sell to us,
we set up, like, a sting or something.
You think you can actually
get him to sell you drugs?
Like a mountain of drugs?
Because that's what we would need.
Yeah.
Okay.
You're gonna need money, a lot of it,
and I can't get it from the department.
We'll figure it out.
Uh,
keep in mind, Sarah and myself
are officers of the law.
We cannot be a party
to anything illegal.
Okay. Okay, then, uh,
what if we set everything up,
and then you guys come in
and do the arrests
after the deal's done?
We'll have to run it by the chief first,
but shouldn't be a problem.
We good with that?
At this point, yeah, sure.
Okay, Darnell,
you go figure out who the investor is.
Max and I will figure out
how to get the money.
Then we'll wait for your call.
So, remember how you got that
200 grand to bail me out?
- Wait, so you're a CI?
- Where did that money come from?
And everyone knew but me?
That's why you needed "space"?
That's why you sent me and Lesley away?
Oh, my God.
You know, she dragged me
to frickin' Anguilla.
I'm sorry you were dragged
to Anguilla, Felix.
It was horrible.
I didn't sleep at all,
I'm extremely sunburned,
and then I was alone the whole time
because she met some girl, so
Well, where is Lesley?
She's had to "take a nap"
when she heard you were coming, so
Okay, well, I should
probably talk to her.
I haven't really spoken to her since
well, everything.
Do you mind?
- Yeah, no. Should.
- Yeah?
Anyway
Um, about the money,
I need you to go back
to that family friend
What's that on your finger?
What?
Um
Yeah. Max-Max and I are
are getting married.
How's your nap?
Wonderful.
I'm really sorry
about the way everything went down.
You were
are
this incredible person, and
you didn't deserve this.
It was always her, wasn't it?
Come on, just be honest
with me, you owe me that.
Yeah.
I can't help it.
It was, it is, it's always gonna be.
It's my lot in life.
You could've just told me that.
Saved me some time.
Just sort of realized it.
I always knew.
On some level. I just
I don't know.
Heard you met someone in Anguilla.
Don't.
We're not friends
yet.
Yet?
Will you say something?
Anything?
Felix?
I mean
I've always wanted you
to be happy, Murphy, and
you've never looked happier, so
Congratulations.
Thank you.
But I swear to God I will murder
you if you ask me to be, like,
your maid of honor or something.
Well, anyway, I don't want to
see you get married in prison,
so of course I'll help you.
Hey, Murphy.
Hi.
You guys want something to drink?
Oh, sure. Thank you.
Um
W With the money?
Um
You remember Jimmy McKay?
I actually got the money from his niece.
- I think she has a crush on me.
- Yeah.
Well, maybe we can use that.
Hey.
Hey.
Come in.
So, now you want me to steal
even more cash from my uncle?
Yes. Please?
Look, I-I wouldn't ask you
unless it was, like, a real emergency.
What's the emergency?
Um
I can't tell you.
What about your sister? She's rich.
Yeah, for reasons that are way too long
and boring, uh, to explain,
my sister is not gonna give one red cent
to this mission.
Mission?
Seriously
who are you these days?
I don't know.
I'll get you the money.
I feel a little dirty.
Oh, you're more than a little dirty.
Seriously?
You're the one who
was working with the cops.
Was, dude. Come on.
- He's clean.
- Good.
You're really letting this whole thing
go to your head, you know that?
You want a drink or something?
Sure.
So, uh, Nia's people,
they're in.
They're down to work for you, man.
Are you serious?
I mean, they haven't had
anything to sell in months,
and they definitely heard of Bolt.
Course they have.
Everyone has.
Pretty impressive, I got to say.
Mm.
Pretty good at my job.
And so humble.
Man, shut up.
You know,
I still can't believe you got
some rich dude
to get his hands dirty
in something like this.
He doesn't get his hands dirty.
That's the whole point.
I've never even met the guy.
So, what, you just talk
to him on the phone?
No, not even that.
He's an investor.
That's it.
Hmm.
Man's probably never
even seen a Bolt pill.
But you must've
spoken to him when he found you.
Nah.
I known you for too long.
I know when you're lying at me.
And I deserve to know who
I'm getting into business with.
It's my ass now, too.
Man, I'm not lying.
All right?
Okay, Trey.
Then I'm out,
and I'm taking Nia's people with me.
I can just start my own thing.
Fine.
Couple of months ago, I had
a chemist make the pill, right?
Built a makeshift cookhouse,
sold it to a couple people
I used to deal coke to,
to test it out.
One of them was this
really rich politician guy,
Jimmy McKay.
He liked it so much,
he told me he wanted to invest.
He's an invisible partner.
Hey, Uncle Jimmy.
Oh, hey, you going out?
Yeah, just going to see some friends.
Well, have fun, kiddo.
This guy's really powerful.
Like I said, he's richer than God.
Well
I found out who the guy is.
Who is it?
Wait, you guys actually got the money?
Yeah. I'm basically a prostitute now.
- What?
- Who is it?
It's this dude, uh,
Jimmy McKay. Apparently,
he's this rich poli
Whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm sorry,
did you say Jimmy McKay?
Yeah.
You know who he is?
Yeah, since I was, like, two.
And, ironically, the guy
who owns this money.
Oh.
Sorry, I-I-I'm having
trouble wrapping my head
around the fact that Jimmy McKay
is tied into the drug world.
He's not.
Apparently, he doesn't even
know anyone besides Trey.
Trey just used to sell him coke,
and Jimmy thought Bolt
was an easy way to make money.
Are we really gonna
try to buy drugs off this guy
with his own stolen money?
No, because I'm telling you
Jimmy McKay's not gonna get
involved in a drug deal.
He's like the most
powerful guy in Chicago.
It's just He's not.
Well, we'll have to put him into
a position where he's forced to.
How? Are you listening?
The guy is squeaky clean.
At least on paper.
Yeah, Trey says he stays far away.
Wants no part of it.
Then let's use that.
Meaning what?
Meaning, he doesn't want
to get his hands dirty,
then let's get his hands dirty.
That's not a terrible idea.
You know, Trey says
he's taking a pretty big cut.
I think I can work with that.
I know how to manipulate Trey.
How much of a cut did you say
that Jimmy guy's getting again?
20%.
Told you it was steep.
Steep? Bruh,
this is how much you're giving him
every month.
It's obscene.
You said yourself he's richer than God.
And you're the one
who set up this entire system,
the labs, the laundering, all of it.
And this guy, who had nothing
to do with any of it,
and already has all the money
in the world, is taking 20%?
Come on.
Yeah
But, I mean
I didn't have anything when we started.
I needed his help to get things moving.
Look around, bruh.
It's moving.
Look,
he just took advantage of you.
He needs you, not the other way around.
Tell him, I don't know, five percent
or you walk.
I don't think he'll go for it.
So what?
His loss.
You can run this on your own now.
- Hello?
- Hey.
- It's Trey Williams.
- Listen,
20% isn't gonna work for me anymore.
From now on, you take five.
- Five?
- Five.
The answer is no.
Then I walk.
Come on, man.
We're making so much money.
Don't mess up a good thing.
My mind's made up.
Well, then, you pay me
back my investment.
Fine.
Great, now I've got to give
this guy back 500 grand.
You don't need to give him a dollar.
Let's mess with him a little bit.
You know I got you.
Okay.
Hello, Mr. McKay. I left
your messages on the desk.
Mm-hmm.
And, uh, this package just came for you.
Thank you, Berta.
I don't know what
game you're playing or what
You want out? You're out.
Y-Y-You pay me my money back,
not-not-not these.
You're not really in
a position to negotiate.
Maybe you should've
thought about that before trying
to take advantage of me.
What exactly am I supposed to do?
Not really my problem.
Flush them.
I am not gonna flush
all this money down the toilet.
I don't really care what you do,
man. I got to go.
- Wait.
- Good luck.
Hello?
Hey.
How did it go?
It's done.
Now we got to get that dude
to sell the stuff to us.
Yeah.
Okay, we just got to
get him alone, right?
We got to figure out how
to get access to his schedule
- or something.
- Well, I almost worked for the guy,
maybe I can get that job back.
Okay. Yeah.
How-how-how would you do that?
- I'll call Felix.
- Okay.
See if his grandma can call him for us.
Okay, I'm on it. Call you right back.
Come on, you need to call Gran.
She likes you more.
Don't even look at me.
I'm not helping you guys
with this idiotic plan.
You'll never outsmart Jimmy.
Well, we can at least try.
Have fun with that.
Les.
You're asking me to help the person
that Max just cheated on me with.
I'm not a robot, it's gonna
take me a minute to get over it.
Look, I know it's complicated
for a myriad of reasons, but
you said it yourself, I mean,
someone should not go to jail
for something they didn't do.
And that's exactly
what's gonna happen to Murphy
if we don't pull this off.
Just please.
Whatever.
How is everything, Ms. Bell?
Wonderful, thank you.
Actually, the chicken is a bit dry.
I'm so sorry. Would you like
something else, ma'am?
No, I'll stomach it.
Thank you.
So, Gran, uh
We have Actually have something
we need to talk to you about.
Oh, always an angle with you, Felix.
Lesley?
Oh, good, an ambush.
Oh, no, it's just, um
You remember Max Parish?
He was supposed to work
with Jimmy McKay and, um
- Never showed up.
- Right. Yes.
Anyway, he would love
a second chance to
A second chance?
I don't think so.
Gran, please. Uh
You two only call me
when you want something.
I thought you actually
wanted to have lunch.
We do.
But if you could just call
Jimmy and ask him to
I'm not doing anything
for you two ungrateful kids.
I've done enough.
Actually, you will be doing this
particular thing for us.
Is that so?
We're working with the cops
to take down Jimmy McKay.
Felix.
And we know that
when they dig deep enough,
your name will come up.
You have some shady real estate
dealings with him, I believe?
It is not my job
to ask questions, it is my job
to protect my family's fortune.
That's not gonna hold up in court.
We can get you protection
if you help us though.
So you're blackmailing me?
Oh, we learn from the best.
It's Mavis Bell.
Good. And you?
Excited to have you on board.
I'm excited, too, sir.
I have access to everything.
Calendar, contacts, everything.
Wow. Okay.
Um, where's he gonna be tonight?
Well, after this dinner,
he has drinks at The Valderoy,
which is a bar downtown.
And guess who else will be
having drinks there, too.
Okay.
Okay, all right, Murph?
Are you sure you can do this?
Don't worry, I'm just gonna
flirt with him a little bit.
His penis will not go near me.
Felix, you know what your job is, yeah?
Easy peasy get Caitlin
out of the house somehow,
and then get my grandma
to invite Jimmy's wife
to the lake house.
Yes. And all I have to do
is get him to take me to his place.
Pretend to take this Bolt pill.
Then convince him
to sell his stash to us.
Uh, do you need some help?
Oh!
Uh, no, I'm great, I'm good. Thank you.
If you could just grab
the bartender for me,
that would be great.
Yeah.
How about I grab
a drink for you instead?
Even better.
Mm-hmm.
Want another highball?
Um
Or we could get out of here.
Actually, we, uh
we could go to my place.
My wife texted me earlier saying
that she was going to be
out of town this weekend.
Did she?
Yeah.
And my, uh,
my niece is staying over
at her friend's place.
So
Oh, lucky us.
Yeah, just, uh
- watch your step there.
- Thank you.
And, uh
careful, these floors
can be kind of slippery sometimes.
Is this where most women
"ooh and ah" at your place?
What, "most women"?
What kind of guy do you think I am?
Oh, I don't know,
the kind that brings a girl home
the second his wife
leaves for the night.
Fair enough.
But, uh, you said you had a boyfriend,
so
Never said I was a saint.
Far from it.
Come right this way.
Oh, dear.
Do you, uh, do you like to swim?
Uh, I don't have a bathing suit.
Oh.
That is not going to be a problem.
Okay, for you or for me?
Let's say for both of us.
Another highball?
- Yes, my favorite. Thank you.
- Here you go.
Cheers.
Mmm.
Um
Oh, what's up?
Are you okay?
Yeah, yeah, I was just
um
I was just gonna ask if you had anything
a little stronger?
Stronger than whiskey?
Stronger like
you know
I don't know, coke or Molly,
or something.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Uh, give me one second.
I think I might have a little something.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
You gonna take it?
- You're gonna take it.
- Oh.
There you go.
- Give me your hand.
- Oh!
Another one?
It's for me.
You want to swim?
Yes. You should swim.
I want to swim.
Wow, this stuff works fast.
You're beautiful.
What?
I just said you're beautiful.
Are you okay?
What?
You were, you were on the bottom.
Oh, I'm fine.
Better than fine.
I'll get you a towel.
Cool. This stuff is incredible.
Besides the fact that I almost died.
Not bad, right?
Yeah.
- I needed it.
- Yeah, me, too.
Yeah, you stressed?
You could say that.
Is it work?
- Yeah.
- Mm.
You? Work?
No. I mean, sort of.
It's my, it's my boyfriend's work.
Yeah, what's he do for work?
Um
well, you could say, I mean
you could say he used to sell a product.
And
the person that he used
to get the product from
is no longer available.
So he's been pretty stressed and
taking it out on me,
which is why I'm here and
why I just wanted to get out of my head.
Yeah. Um, just to back up for a second,
this product, was it anything like
what I gave you here tonight?
No.
No, what you gave me is way better.
Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Well
I-I might have a supplier for him.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
Who?
Well, I never told you
what I do for work.
You're a supplier?
- Shut up.
- Ah, no, no.
- I am an investor.
- Okay.
But if your boyfriend
was willing to work for me,
I can guarantee we'd both
make a lot of money.
- Yeah?
- Uh
Well, he doesn't really work for anyone.
But, but if you,
if you want to sell to him
I mean, he-he'd totally buy it from you.
Let me think about that.
Okay.
You call me when you decide.
Uh-huh.
You have a pen?
Uh, yes.
I have a pen.
I don't have any paper, though.
But here's a pen.
You got it?
Oh, okay.
I can't believe he still hasn't called.
Maybe he found someone else
who would work for him.
Who? He doesn't know anyone
in the drug world.
Well, maybe the problem is
he has no incentive
to get rid of them.
Mm, good point.
He could just hold
onto the pills forever.
Well, we should probably
give him some incentive.
I think it looks pretty good.
- Okay.
- I'd be scared.
You know, back when I had
an income and a business.
Shut up, Max.
Just take it and go, okay?
All right.
- Oh, yeah.
- Okay.
- Okay, just, come on, let's go.
- Okay, here.
- Thank you, thank you. Wish me luck.
- Good luck.
Good luck!
Here you go, sir.
Chopped salad, dressing
on the side, no onions.
Thanks.
And this was taped to your door.
They're gonna search my house, Kenneth!
There's got to be something you can do!
Come on!
This isn't like getting
a small charge dropped, Jimmy.
This is a federal issue
we're talking about.
Y-You've got to have
a contact at the IRS.
I don't.
I prosecute local cases.
This is federal.
These aren't like the other times.
What am I supposed to do
with all these pills I got?
I don't know,
but I'd get rid of them. Fast.
Call from 847-55
- Who is it?
- Hello?
Hey.
It's Jimmy McKay, Jimmy McKay.
- We met last night.
- Oh, hi, Jimmy.
Hi.
- You'd like to do a deal.
- Yes.
- I would.
- Yes.
Um, that's great. Well, why don't you
tell me when to come over.
Yeah, it doesn't work like that.
How does it work?
Okay.
So he has this charity event tomorrow.
It's like an exclusive dinner,
uh, at one of his hotels.
Uh, Darnell, my
lovely boyfriend,
is going to be making
a $500,000 donation,
because, apparently,
that's how Jimmy launders the money.
Then the two of us uh, boyfriend and I,
we're gonna go down to his room,
and McKay's gonna be waiting
there with all of the pills.
So we got to keep up
this ruse we're a couple?
Yeah.
I mean,
I always thought we'd end up together.
Stupid Max got in the way, so
Damn it, Max.
Yeah, well, you can't see
how beautiful I am.
That's true.
I can't believe you
morons actually pulled this off.
Darnell will make sure
that Trey is at one of his labs,
and we'll make
the arrest at the same time
the McKay deal's going down.
That way they can't warn one another.
And then, poof
Murphy's free.
Bolt is done.
Okay.
See you guys tomorrow?
Yeah. See you tomorrow.
It's fancy.
I got it.
Wake up.
No.
- Mm.
- Come on.
Mm, no!
We got to get up.
Got to go.
Mm-hmm.
I'm gonna hop in the shower real fast.
Fine, I'll join you.
Okay.
Then hurry.
- Okay.
- Let's go.
When did you learn how to do that?
You'd be surprised how much
you can do without looking.
Should I see what Felix got
for us to wear to this thing?
Oh, God. Can't wait.
You know
I know how much you hate dressing up.
What do you mean? I love it.
Here.
Well, this feels expensive.
And we sort of have an event coming up
that might require me
to be in a tux and
you in a dress.
I can get married
in my hoodie if I want to.
I know.
Or
what if you only had
to get dressed up once?
What do you mean?
I mean, we wrap this whole thing up,
and we go get married.
- Like, tonight?
- Yeah, tonight.
Like, this soon?
I don't want to wake up another day
and not be your husband.
You're kidding me.
Well
where are we gonna live,
husband of mine?
As soon as I scrape together some money,
I'm gonna get us a little house.
Okay, well, I'm gonna scrape
together some money, too.
What kind of house do you see us in?
Nothing fancy, just
a bed.
Good.
A little kitchen, so I can cook.
And a patch of grass big enough
for a lemon tree.
- A lemon tree?
- Yeah.
I know it's dumb, but growing up we had
this lemon tree.
And my mom, she always used
to make us lemonade.
It's, like
the one nice memory I have of her.
So
I always wanted a lemon tree.
Then let's get you a lemon tree.
I thought you were gonna make fun of me.
You thought I was gonna make fun
of the one good memory
you have of your dead mother?
Who do you think I am?
Um, this dress, this dress
isn't white, is it?
No.
I never pictured myself
doing the whole
- white dress thing.
- Oh, come here.
Come here.
I still have to finish my makeup.
Fine.
Fine, I'll wait until marriage.
Like a good Christian boy.
Okay, fine.
Yeah, I guess I better
get dressed too, huh?
No!
No, please
No!
