In The Dark (2019) s04e13 Episode Script

Hey, Murph.
- How about some breakfast?
- I'm good.
Funeral starts in a couple hours.
You might want to eat something.
No, I said I'm good.
I don't want anything.
Come on, you haven't
had any food in days.
Will you just take one
bite for me, please?
I'm not hungry, Felix.
Murph
It's gonna get easier.
You're going to find
a reason to live again.
I can't imagine how you must feel,
but I promise you'll get through this.
And
I know it feels like
there's no point of anything.
Of living, even. But
what you've been going through
let's just take it
day by day, all right?
♪
Hang on. Just gi-give me a minute.
Oh, my God, I'm so hot.
Yeah, it's finally warming up, huh?
You okay?
No, I'm not.
On my way here, I'm just
thinking about how, like
nothing changes.
The people are still
getting their coffee,
and texting their dumb friends,
and sitting in traffic and
The world doesn't even stop
for, like, a second,
like, or one minute so I can breathe.
Hello, Murphy.
What are you doing here?
Thought I'd come by and pay my respects.
How you holding up?
Just walk away, Josh.
Darnell, he's not worth it, man.
I'll see you in there.
Don't let him get to you, Murphy.
Just ignore him.
We should go inside.
Yeah, let's
You ready?
Um
I'm not good
at these things, at-at, uh
I'm not good at
talking about my feelings
to, uh, a bunch of people.
I'm not even good at talking
about my feelings to
like, one person. Um
That was the thing about Max.
He somehow, like
pulled my emotions out of me.
I-I was kicking and screaming,
but he still did it.
And he called me stubborn.
Um, I remember one time
Max was lying next to me
he was, he-he was sleeping.
And
And-and he laughed.
He-he laughed while he was sleeping.
I mean, he had every reason
to be self-loathing
and-and feel sorry for himself,
for the hand he was dealt,
but he-he didn't.
He laughed in his sleep.
He gave me happiness.
I didn't even think
that was possible, like
to actually be happy,
but he-he gave
he gave me that.
And I will miss him every single second
of every single day.
For the rest of my life.
People-people keep saying to me,
"Oh, uh
God called him home."
Well
God had nothing to do with this,
and I'm pretty sure
that if God does exist,
he has enough people to hang out with.
He did not need Max, too. I needed him.
And the reason Max isn't here
is because of another human being.
There is a person out there
that took the love of my life
away from me.
I was just told
that I need to find a reason for living,
I need to find a purpose.
Well, I found one.
I have one.
I am going to find
the person that did this.
And I am going to make them pay
for what they've done!
You know, I feel like I have
to say for the record,
um, that's not really what I meant.
No, I know, but I have to do this.
Okay, so
what's your big plan
you gonna break into prison
and cut off Jimmy
McKay's ding-dong or
No, I don't care about Jimmy.
He's gonna rot in prison.
I'm after whoever tipped him off.
Whoever called him, that
Whoever wanted everything
to get messed up
that's the person that is
responsible for Max's death.
Jimmy's just the one
who pulled the trigger.
Murphy?
Hey, Chloe.
Hey, Chlo.
I'll give you two a minute.
You came.
I heard what happened about Max.
And I don't know all the details,
but
I know it had something to do
with that stupid pill I took.
No, Chloe. No.
It has nothing to do with you.
I don't want you
feeling guilty for one second.
Okay.
Well
I still wanted to come
and say I'm sorry.
I'm really happy you're here.
It's nice to see her smile, though.
Okay, but you did tell her she can't do
whatever it is she's
planning on doing, right?
No, I'm just
- gonna give her a little bit of time.
- Felix.
What? She This is how she copes.
She needs to focus on something.
I don't know.
I mean, at least
she's off the couch, right?
Whatever.
Let's just hope she doesn't find
whoever this person is.
How would she do that?
You know, when I saw your name
on the visitor's log,
I have to admit I was surprised.
Yeah, well, I just came to ask
who called you that night.
- I'm sorry?
- Someone called you
to tell you we were
setting you up. Who was it?
I have no idea what
you're talking about.
You know, the prosecution is
going to call me as a witness.
I know you're claiming self-defense,
that Max attacked you.
And I was planning on
telling the truth, but
I'm willing to go along
with your little story.
All you have to do is tell me
who called you that night.
And if you don't
I'll bury you.
Oh, relax. Just relax.
He said he was with Chicago PD.
He had a British accent.
Was his name Josh Wallace?
Yeah. Yeah, that was it.
- Josh?
- Yep. I know.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
I want to kill Josh. Serious.
- You're not gonna kill anyone.
- Yeah, I am.
Murph, you're not just
gonna kill someone.
Yeah, I am. It's not just someone.
It's Josh.
And he loved that this happened.
He went to the funeral to gloat.
He's-he's a psychopath.
He's psychotic.
Murph.
I'm just asking you to
take a beat, please.
I'm taking a beat.
What do you think this is?
This is beat to figure out
how to kill Josh without getting caught.
- Oh, my God.
- That's my beat.
Okay, look.
I know we've done some
very bad things.
Okay? In our lives,
And I know you've-you've
seen more death than,
you know, the average joe.
But you've never
you've never actually killed anyone.
Murphy
Max loved you, okay?
He loved you so much.
And he would not want you
to spend the rest of your life
behind bars on his account.
He would want you to live your life.
That's what he would want.
So, please.
Just drop this.
For his sake.
Yeah.
You're right. I'm just
I'm just being stupid.
It's okay.
I love you.

What I don't
Please tell me you didn't
Oh, my God. No!

What the hell, Murphy?
I thought you said you were good.
- I am good.
- Really?
I am. I-I I didn't come here
I swear. I didn't
come here to do anything.
Oh, okay.
So you just broke into
his house for a cup of tea?
- I just needed to talk to him.
- Talk to him.
Yes.
Okay? I listened to everything you said.
And I I really think I need
I need to confront Josh, I need closure.
That's how I'm gonna move on.
And I was afraid
you wouldn't believe me,
so I took the bus.
- Closure?
- Yes.
Closure.
But he's not even here,
so I'm just gonna wait for him.
You can go.
Well, you know,

Did you think maybe he's not
coming home tonight?
- Where would he be?

His dog isn't here.
All of his clothes are gone.

- Well,
after what you said at Max's funeral,
I don't blame him.
Coward.

He could have gone back to London.
What if he went what if he went home?
What if he
He could be gone for years.
What if he doesn't come back?
- What if he never comes back here?
- Okay, okay.
What if I don't get to see him
- and talk to him?
- Okay.
- What if I never see him?
- Shh. Take a breath.
Maybe we can both find out
where he went together.
Okay?
Any clue what his password is?
No.
Great.
Okay, well, then
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hang on a second.
Looks like he printed this
out before he left.
What is it?
Okay, here we go.

You don't have to drive me, though.
Yeah, I'll just let you hitchhike.
Of course I'm gonna drive you.
I'm gonna be with you every step

Cellular service not available.
Great.
We're here.
Okay, wait, I think
I should go in alone.
What?
Yeah, I appreciate you
you know, wanting to be here for me,
but I-I don't need, like, a guy
to support me, so
I-I got-I got it.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- I'll be here.
- All right.
Where's the Which way is the house?
It's just, uh, about
30 feet to your left.
Okay.
Thank you.
Why are you bringing your backpack?
I always take my backpack with me.
No, you don't.
Okay. Well, I want it.
- Ready, buddy?
- You're just gonna talk to him?
Yes. What is the big deal?
Can I see the backpack?
No.
- Murphy, can I see the backpack?
- No, Felix.
Stop it!
I said no. Felix!
- Stop it.
- What the hell is this?!
Murphy?
- Are you still planning on
- Yep.
- Okay.
- Planning on killing him.
- Oh, my God.
- I am going to kill him.
- You lied to me.
- Okay, well
You manipulated me.
You're the one that showed up to Josh's
and you forced me
to let you drive me here.
Yeah, and you're the one who
gave me that whole moving thing
about how you need closure!
This is my closure.
Killing Josh is not closure.
Yeah, well, we'll see, okay?
- Murphy.
- Get off.
Get off, Felix.
Murph, I told you.
This is not what Max would have wanted.
Well, Max isn't here.
I am!
So I'm gonna deal with it how I want.
Murphy.
Find inside. Go, go.
You know, I hate-I hate
to be that guy here,
- but, um, you're blind.
- Shut up.
So I don't know what you
think you're gonna do in there.
- Okay? You're going to get caught!
- You're the one causing a scene.
Shut up.
- You're trespassing.
- Oh, my God.
Okay. He's got a gun.
What are you gonna do?
Are you gonna kill me too?
Just go home!
- Or what?
- Or I'll pull the trigger.
Yeah?
Then do it.
Oh!
What's happening?
Felix?
Felix?
Felix, what's happening?
Whoa!
Don't worry. I got the gun!
- Are you okay?
- Where's Josh?
He's in the car.
No, stop him.
Stop him!
Uh
Hey!
Get out! Get out of the car. Now!
Josh, stop! What are you doing?
- Aah!
- Aah!
What happened?
Get out of the car!
- Get out of the car now!
- Okay!
Okay. Okay.
Don't look at me.
Move it!
God
Pretzel.
Okay, so Josh is
tied up. He's not going anywhere.
Um
Okay, so I say we call the cops.
No, we're not gonna call the cops.
- They'll arrest us.
- No, they won't.
Because we will tell them
that he pulled a gun on us
then stole our car,
then tried to run us over with it.
He'll probably do time in jail.
Isn't that enough revenge?
- No.
- Oh, come on.
Murphy, come on. Please, don't do this.
- I have nothing left.
- You have the rest of your life.
What life?
What life?
He was everything. He was my life.
I know I'm not Max.
But
you have me.
I need you.
You're kind of like my everything.
Not like a, you know, just in
You're my best friend.
You're my only friend.
And where's that gotten you?
What?
Where has that gotten you?
Look around, Felix.
Look around.
Look at where you are.
Look at what I've turned you into.
- You didn't turn me in anything.
- Okay.
As a matter of fact,
you have made my life
a billion times better.
You have.
Just, you're so Shut up.
You're so delusional. Just
- Wow.
- I don't know what you want me to say.
- I have to do this.
- Why?
- Because.
- Why?
Because.
- Choose me.
- Felix
Choose me.
Murphy.
Oh, my God.
Choose our friendship.
The world sucks. It's falling apart.
You're like my driftwood, you know,
that I desperately cling
to in this tsunami of
relentless garbage.
Just really pulling out
all the stops here.
I've never actually cared
about another person.
I've only cared about myself.
You changed that.
You taught me how to not be
such an entitled dick.
Like, how to actually be a friend.
Don't do this.
I need you.
I'm so hungry. Can you see
if there's any food in here?
- Pizza's disgusting.
- I know.
Can I, um,
suggest somethingto you?
Without you killing me too, of course.
I don't know. What is it?
Well
why don't you try talking to him?
What?
I mean, I know you were lying
when you said you wanted
to talk to him to get closure, but
- it's actually not the worst idea.
- Why would
why would I possibly do that?
Because, may-maybe he feels bad.
Maybe he knows what he
did is really messed-up.
- No.
- Maybe he's it's eating him alive.
Yeah, he feels zero remorse. None.
Well, can you just try?
- Why?
- Because.
You want me to try something
I know is not gonna work?
Yeah.
Fine.
Thank you.
Geez.
Hmm.
Uh Pretzel looks like
he really has to pee.
He's all antsy, eyeing the door.
Do you want to take him out
before you talk to Josh?
Fine. Whatever.
Pretzel, come here.
Come on. We're going outside.
See you soon.
Okay, here's the deal.
Here's the deal.
I am literally about to save your life,
but you have to do
exactly what I say, okay?
I have convinced Murphy
to have a conversation.
You are gonna be remorseful.
I don't care if that's how
you actually feel or not,
but you're gonna make
it sound like you do.
I don't want her to kill you.
So say you're sorry. You understand?
Fine.
Felix?
Yeah?
- Where are you?
- Oh.
His gag fell off, so I was just, uh
tightening it.
Why? I thought you were
forcing me to talk to him.
Oh, yeah. Stupid. Yeah.
Okay, if you're ready.
And everybody's ready.
Let's do it.
Okay. Well
here we are.
A lot has happened
between the two of you.
But we're all adults here.
So, call me optimistic,
but I think we can come
to some sort of truce.
- This is so stupid.
- Murphy, wait.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I went insane, okay?
I went insane.
I don't know what came over me.
I don't know what I was thinking.
I
I-I needed to see you suffer.
Because I was suffering so much.
You killed me.
You destroyed me.
You broke my heart.
And-and now look what you were gonna do.
Look at you were gonna do because
because your heart is broken too.
Please.
Powerful stuff.
Communicating.
Let's keep it going. It's very good.
Listen.
I can't imagine
what you're going through.
And-and if
there's even the slightest of chances
that my dying
will take your pain away
then I'll put the knife
through my own heart.
A load of crap.
What?
You'll put the knife
through your own heart?
Shut up.
Oh, good idea, mate.
What did you just say?
- Hmm?
- What did he just say?
Him? He didn't say anything.
Nothing.
Did you put him up to this?
I didn't
I did not put him up to this.
- What, are you on his side now?
- I am not
The only side I'm on
is you not killing anybody.
Felix! what are you doing?
- Please, Murphy, please.
- Are you kidding me?
Come on, this is not who you are.
No, stop saying that. This is who I am.
This is who I am. You obviously
- don't know me as well you think you do.
- Yes, I do.
- No, you don't.
- If you cross this line,
- you cannot uncross it.
- I'm doing it.
- Do you understand?
- I'm doing it. I'm doing it, Felix.
I'm doing it. It's what he deserves.
And there's nothing you can say
or do to talk me out of it.
So you can sit either here and watch,
or you can get out.
I'm not gonna sit here and watch.
- Then get out!
- Fine!
Sorry I couldn't stop you.
I don't know what else to say.
I'm taking this so at least
he can't hurt you.
Felix!
Felix.
Stay.
Just, just, just please, stay.
Look, all three of us.
All three of us,
we c-we can work this out
and we can talk through it.
Just, just, just, please, stay.
- Go, Felix.
- Felix, please.
Just, just stay. Felix! Felix!
Felix, come back!
Felix, come on. Oh, God.
Felix, you know she's gonna kill me!
Felix!
Fe-Felix!
Oh, please.
Feli-Felix.
Felix, let me out!
Felix!
You know what the true irony is here?
You were convinced I was this
deranged
- Murphy.
- murderer.
- A murderer.
- Please don't do this.
- But the truth is
- Please, just-just stop.
Just-just
I've never actually killed anyone.
This-this is so stupid. Just
Ever.
Stop! Please.
Until now.
You
turned me into the
psychopath you thought I was.
You did.
Josh?
Josh?
Josh!
You
Josh!
Where are you?
Aah!
Come on, come on!
Damn it!
No!
Get you
No, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait,
Mu-Murphy, Murphy, Murphy, Murphy.
No! No, no, no, no! No!
Please!
Aah!
Here, my Pretzel.
Come here, buddy.
Find outside.
Good boy.
