00:00:00Where are you?
00:00:24Chaos is the natural state of things.
00:00:47To have a plan, to have a direction, a blueprint, to strategize.
00:00:55That is the foundation of progress.
00:00:58With careful and thorough forethought, there is no problem that can't be overcome.
00:01:03Hi, this is Allison Myers.
00:01:06I'm following up about the job opening in your design department.
00:01:09No, I already submitted a resume.
00:01:14No, I understand.
00:01:19Rhythm. Datum. Hierarchy.
00:01:23Principles by which the chaos of life can be organized.
00:01:28Hi, this is Allison Myers.
00:01:30I'm just calling about the job interview that I had at your firm last week.
00:01:35I was wondering if anyone's begun scheduling follow-up interviews.
00:01:40It's already been filled.
00:01:45The axis.
00:01:53Symmetry.
00:02:03Transformation.
00:02:27To plan is more than just preparation.
00:02:32It is to conceive of a desired outcome.
00:02:36To define the shape of one's future.
00:02:46When a plan is fully realized, there is no one and nothing that can stand in your way.
00:03:16This is my boss's car.
00:03:28That's sweet.
00:03:29This is my boss's wife's car.
00:03:31Yeah, that's hella tight, too.
00:03:32This is my boss's cousin's car.
00:03:34Oh my, bro, I'm getting extremely hard right now.
00:03:38I'm telling you, we're gonna get so much.
00:03:40We don't even know.
00:03:50And that's how we all got to know each other.
00:03:52So Tina, she had this thing for Gabe.
00:03:54Really good-looking guy.
00:03:55Hot musician, long hair.
00:03:57The problem with Gabe, though, is that he was dizzy with literally every other girl on campus.
00:04:01Didn't even know Tina existed.
00:04:03So Gabe and my brother are best friends.
00:04:04Well, actually they're cousins, but that doesn't matter.
00:04:06My brother ends up falling for Tina.
00:04:08The problem with Tina, though, that I knew, my brother had to find out the hard way, is that Tina is super high-may.
00:04:14High-may?
00:04:15High maintenance.
00:04:17Okay, so tell me what you think about this.
00:04:36I'm sure how the dog got in there.
00:04:40For a suspect in the murder of an Orlando woman late last Thursday night.
00:04:4622-year-old Emily Jean was fatally stabbed outside of the Winter Park restaurant where she worked as a waitress.
00:04:52Police say they're determining a motive.
00:04:56Stock prices fell.
00:04:57A news of a labor shortage.
00:05:28M-1 mile.
00:05:30Merge onto I-4 East.
00:05:32M-1 mile.
00:05:34Merge onto I-4 East.
00:05:36M-1 mile.
00:05:38Merge onto I-4 East.
00:05:40M-1 mile.
00:05:42Merge onto I-4 East.
00:05:44M-1 mile.
00:05:46Merge onto I-4 East.
00:05:48M-1 mile.
00:05:50Merge onto I-4 East.
00:05:52M-1 mile.
00:05:55You have arrived at your destination.
00:05:57Please look out for...
00:05:59Neil.
00:06:24Come on, Neil.
00:06:34Where are you?
00:06:54Are you Neil?
00:07:10That's right.
00:07:30You're Neil.
00:07:31Yes, I am.
00:07:36That's not you.
00:07:39We could get moving.
00:07:40There's somewhere I have to be, and I'd like to be there soon.
00:07:42I'm here to pick up this guy.
00:07:44No, that's Neil.
00:07:45You're here to pick me up.
00:07:47You said you were Neil.
00:07:48I know.
00:07:49Look, Neil's my friend.
00:07:51Neil called this ride for me, so if we could go, please.
00:07:54I think I should talk to Neil.
00:07:56Oh, no, you don't need to.
00:07:57I should call him real quick.
00:07:58You don't need to call him.
00:08:07I'm sure he messaged you already.
00:08:09Did he message you?
00:08:11Yo, it's Neil.
00:08:12You know what to do when you hear the beep.
00:08:14Okay, look.
00:08:15There's no one else on the street.
00:08:17If the ride's not for me, then who's it for?
00:08:20So if we could just get moving.
00:08:24You'll hear from Neil, I'm sure, sooner or later.
00:08:55Thank you, by the way.
00:08:57For what?
00:08:58For deciding to take me.
00:08:59I understand you have rules to follow.
00:09:01I'm not trying to cause trouble.
00:09:02It's not a problem.
00:09:03It's just that I have a feeling this will be a long night,
00:09:06and I'd rather things move smoothly.
00:09:08Why do you say that?
00:09:10What?
00:09:11Why do you say it's going to be a long night?
00:09:18Anyways, it's nothing personal.
00:09:23I just didn't want to have to kick out another passenger.
00:09:27You kicked someone out before?
00:09:29One guy.
00:09:31He kept hitting on me, so I told him to get out.
00:09:35Where'd you leave him?
00:09:36I don't know.
00:09:37Wherever.
00:09:39But he called the company, and I got in trouble.
00:09:43I really can't afford to lose this job, so...
00:09:47Well, you have nothing to fear from me.
00:09:52So where are we heading?
00:09:54Are you going to hit the clubs?
00:09:56No.
00:09:57I'm more of a classical music guy.
00:09:59That's not driving me crazy.
00:10:01Not much else to do this time of night.
00:10:03Well, it depends on what you're looking for.
00:10:06I mean, it's none of my business, but...
00:10:10I'm just curious.
00:10:12When it gets this late, it seems like everyone is
00:10:15either heading home from the bar or heading out to the bar.
00:10:19Either that, or I'm taking a stoner to Taco Bell,
00:10:21and they don't even know what time it is.
00:10:24That sounds troublesome.
00:10:26Yeah.
00:10:28But it's fine.
00:10:30Nothing I can't handle.
00:10:33Let me ask you something.
00:10:37What's been the worst night of your life?
00:10:40What do you mean?
00:10:42I hope it wasn't because of a passenger.
00:10:45No.
00:10:48No.
00:10:50It's never gotten that bad.
00:10:52Do you enjoy it?
00:10:54What, being a driver?
00:10:56Yeah. Do you enjoy your job?
00:10:58This isn't really my job.
00:11:00I just do it to make money.
00:11:02That's a fine distinction.
00:11:04I mean, I'm really an architect.
00:11:07It's what I actually do.
00:11:10I've just had some setbacks.
00:11:14Let me guess.
00:11:16Catastrophic structural failure.
00:11:18Hmm.
00:11:20No.
00:11:21More like catastrophic personal failure.
00:11:25The problem is, there's only so many firms in the city,
00:11:28and everyone seems to know each other,
00:11:31so if you screw up, it kind of follows you.
00:11:37But, um, you know, I can get back in.
00:11:42I'm sure.
00:11:46So, what do you do?
00:11:48Oh, um, work nights, like you.
00:11:54Oh. Okay.
00:11:57I like the city at night.
00:12:01Yeah, not much traffic.
00:12:03Yeah, exactly.
00:12:06The streets start to empty out.
00:12:08I think around 2 a.m. is the best time.
00:12:11There's so few people out.
00:12:13I feel like I'm the city to myself, you know?
00:12:17You can make great time.
00:12:19Yeah, there are times where you can go blocks
00:12:21without seeing a single person.
00:12:24I always like it when that happens.
00:12:27I like to be down at a mall alone.
00:12:32I mean, imagine the whole world is just quiet and empty.
00:12:38That's, uh, peaceful.
00:12:43Sounds peaceful.
00:13:09Hey.
00:13:12Yeah, I am.
00:13:14Do you have what I want?
00:13:16Yeah, I have it.
00:13:18It'll be inside a black bag.
00:13:22Don't ask me where I got it.
00:13:24It's really better if you don't know.
00:13:27No, I'll be coming alone.
00:13:30I have a ride.
00:13:33She is, but she'll be gone by the time I get there.
00:13:35You'll never even see her.
00:13:39I wouldn't worry about it.
00:13:46So, is that your friend?
00:13:48Who?
00:13:49Neil.
00:13:50Oh, um, no.
00:13:54Yeah, I hate to bring this up,
00:13:56but do you think it'd be possible to pull over?
00:13:58Yeah.
00:14:00Yeah, I hate to bring this up,
00:14:02but do you think it'd be possible to pull over?
00:14:04What do you mean?
00:14:05I'm sorry, but, uh, I think there's a rest stop up ahead
00:14:08if we could just stop for a moment.
00:14:11You gotta go?
00:14:12Sorry.
00:14:14You know, it really won't take long to get to your destination.
00:14:17No, no, I know, but I just...
00:14:18Honestly, we're almost there.
00:14:20I'm afraid I'm gonna have to insist.
00:14:24Okay.
00:14:25It's your time.
00:14:28Yeah, it's right up here.
00:14:46I'll just be a minute.
00:14:48There's a vending machine out here, too, if you'd like.
00:14:50Thanks, I'm good.
00:14:51Are you sure?
00:14:52I think I'll just stay here.
00:14:54Okay.
00:14:58Thanks.
00:15:28Okay.
00:15:58Okay.
00:16:28Hey.
00:16:30Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey.
00:16:32What's wrong?
00:16:33You startled me.
00:16:35I'm not that scary, am I?
00:16:40Sorry for taking so long.
00:16:50Hey.
00:16:51I brought you something.
00:16:53What is it?
00:16:55Hey.
00:16:57I brought you something.
00:16:58Help yourself.
00:17:01I already opened it for you.
00:17:04Cool.
00:17:07Thanks.
00:17:08Don't you like cola?
00:17:10I think I'll save it for later.
00:17:12When I need the caffeine.
00:17:14Of course.
00:17:26Okay.
00:17:46If you're here to rob the place, you're too late.
00:17:48We've already made our cash drop for the day.
00:17:50Not here to rob you.
00:17:52What can I do for you, officer?
00:17:54These earrings.
00:17:55Something for the little lady.
00:17:59I'm guessing that's not your girl.
00:18:00Emily Jane.
00:18:01A week ago, she was stabbed eight times
00:18:03in the parking lot of a restaurant downtown.
00:18:05Oh, shit.
00:18:08What's it got to do with me?
00:18:09This picture was taken earlier that day.
00:18:11You see these earrings?
00:18:12She didn't have them when she arrived at the hospital.
00:18:14We're guessing whoever stabbed her still has them.
00:18:16You want to know, someone tried to unload them here.
00:18:20Nice pair.
00:18:22Earrings, I mean.
00:18:24But, no, I haven't seen them.
00:18:27Well, if anything comes in...
00:18:32Call me.
00:18:34So, what?
00:18:36You're gonna hit every pawn shop in town?
00:18:50You all right?
00:18:52Yeah, I'm fine.
00:18:54You seem a little stressed out.
00:18:57Maybe we should just listen to some music.
00:19:01Excuse me?
00:19:04Can we turn the music off, please?
00:19:05What was that?
00:19:06I said, I'd prefer to have the music off, please.
00:19:09We're not going anywhere.
00:19:10We didn't get hurt, we're not being held.
00:19:13It's okay.
00:19:14Just come on, please.
00:19:17It's okay.
00:19:19It's okay.
00:19:20It's okay.
00:19:21It's okay.
00:19:24We didn't get hurt.
00:19:27It's okay.
00:19:28Can I have the music off, please?
00:19:30You don't like it?
00:19:32No. In fact, I really can't stand it.
00:19:35So I'm gonna have to insist?
00:19:39Sorry about that.
00:19:41I had it a little loud.
00:19:43It's not your fault. I just...
00:19:46can't stand any melodic rhythms.
00:19:49It's probably something neurological.
00:19:53They nauseate me.
00:19:55And I'm not speaking figuratively.
00:19:57I feel an actual physical sense of nausea
00:19:59when I hear certain songs.
00:20:08It's almost like a...
00:20:10feeling of vertigo.
00:20:13The louder and more dissonant a song is,
00:20:15the worse it gets.
00:20:17Have you ever heard of the Rite of Spring?
00:20:25No.
00:20:27Igor Stravinsky, in the early 1900s,
00:20:29composed a piece of music so intense
00:20:31and disturbing that, supposedly,
00:20:34people in the audience began to riot.
00:20:37The first people to hear it were
00:20:39almost driven mad.
00:20:41I haven't heard of it.
00:20:43It's actually become popular over the years.
00:20:46But, you know, it tends to happen.
00:20:49People begin to tolerate a certain degree of madness.
00:21:00Do you smell that?
00:21:02What?
00:21:03Something's burning. I smell smoke.
00:21:05Yeah, you're right.
00:21:07I'm gonna pull over for a second.
00:21:17I'm gonna take a look.
00:21:19This will only take a second.
00:21:46Hey, it's me.
00:22:17I just feel like something really bad is going to happen.
00:22:20Everything all right?
00:22:22Yeah.
00:22:24I'm fine.
00:22:26The engine just overheats sometimes.
00:22:29Oh.
00:22:31Well, I'm sure it's had a chance to cool off by now.
00:22:34It should probably get going.
00:22:36Right.
00:22:38Who were you on the phone with?
00:22:40The phone?
00:22:42Were you calling for help?
00:22:45You know, with the engine?
00:22:47I wasn't calling anybody.
00:22:49I heard you talking.
00:22:53Neil.
00:22:55Your friend.
00:22:57He finally called me back.
00:22:59Neil.
00:23:01Neil called you back.
00:23:06Well, then, I told you.
00:23:09You have nothing to worry about.
00:23:26Sorry for the delay.
00:23:28Yeah, it's fine.
00:23:30As long as we get going now.
00:23:40You know, you should probably have someone take a look at that.
00:23:43Your engine, I mean.
00:23:45If it keeps overheating.
00:23:47I know.
00:23:49I've been meaning to.
00:23:51You know, it puts real wear and tear on your car, driving it like this.
00:23:54And it's not like the app covers any of the costs.
00:23:57I suppose that's an extra expense.
00:23:59But for someone in your line of work, it's a necessity.
00:24:02Cars are livelihood, after all.
00:24:04Five years of college, two years of interning, an apprenticeship,
00:24:08and my car is my livelihood.
00:24:11Turn left at Fox Hunt Drive.
00:24:14Fox Hunt Drive.
00:24:35You know, I hadn't noticed it before, but it's a very nice bracelet you have on.
00:24:39Oh. Thanks.
00:24:43Can I ask you where you got it?
00:24:46It was a gift.
00:24:48From an old boyfriend, actually.
00:24:51He gave it to me the first weekend we went out of town.
00:24:54We weren't able to see each other much because of work and other stuff.
00:24:59So it was a really important trip.
00:25:03We went to Ybor City and stayed in this beautiful old hotel.
00:25:07And that night we had the most amazing dinner.
00:25:10Finger steak with white truffle pasta.
00:25:15Afterward, we went for a walk on the beach.
00:25:18Just us and the waves.
00:25:21Then he stopped and pulled the bracelet out of his coat.
00:25:24I'd had been there all night.
00:25:26And as he slipped it on my wrist, he said,
00:25:29I want you to know something.
00:25:31No matter what happens, I will always love you.
00:25:36Hey!
00:25:40Hey!
00:25:48Recalculating. Recalculating. Recalculating.
00:25:53Did you see that?
00:25:55I think he ran a red light.
00:25:59But did you see it?
00:26:02Do you think it was a dog?
00:26:04Yes.
00:26:06Now let's go.
00:26:09Wait.
00:26:11You shouldn't do that.
00:26:34Wait by the car.
00:26:39Wait.
00:26:42Wait.
00:26:44Wait.
00:26:51He's dead.
00:26:53Oh.
00:26:55Oh, my God.
00:26:58Oh, my God.
00:27:09Oh, my God.
00:27:13Sorry, Raymond.
00:27:23I need to report an accident.
00:27:26We're on Falk's hunt at Landcraft Avenue.
00:27:29Hey.
00:27:31It's awful. He's just laying there.
00:27:35What?
00:27:37You shouldn't do that.
00:27:39Call the cops. I have to.
00:27:41We should go.
00:27:43We can't. There's a dead body in the street.
00:27:46I have to explain what happened.
00:27:49I mean, I could lose my license.
00:27:52I could go to jail.
00:27:55I'll lose everything.
00:27:57Yes.
00:27:59But what do we say?
00:28:01You talk to them.
00:28:03Tell them it was an accident.
00:28:05If I have someone on my side...
00:28:07No, no.
00:28:08What?
00:28:09I will not speak to the police under any circumstances.
00:28:11But what will I do?
00:28:13If you call the police, they'll arrest you for manslaughter.
00:28:16Intentional or not, that's a crime you committed.
00:28:18And you'll lose everything, just like you said.
00:28:20No.
00:28:26What's your name?
00:28:28Allison.
00:28:29What's your last name?
00:28:30Myers.
00:28:31Allison Myers. Do you want my help?
00:28:34Follow my instructions exactly.
00:28:36Do everything I say, just as I describe it.
00:28:39Yes.
00:28:41Are you sure?
00:28:45I have somewhere to be.
00:28:47Wait.
00:28:52Help me.
00:28:55Okay.
00:29:03Wait.
00:29:05He's missing a shoe. We can't just...
00:29:07Allison, there's a body in your trunk.
00:29:09We have to go.
00:29:11Dispatch to Detective Hartford.
00:29:13Respond to Fox Hunt and Landcross for a possible signal 4.
00:29:179-1-1 call was disconnected.
00:29:1910-4, Dispatch.
00:29:21Is there not a patrol car available?
00:29:23I'm trying to run down leads on a case.
00:29:26Negative, Detective Hartford.
00:29:28Respond to Fox Hunt and Landcross.
00:29:3010-4, Dispatch.
00:29:32Is there not a patrol car available?
00:29:34I'm trying to run down leads on a case.
00:29:37Negative, Detective Hartford.
00:29:39Respond to Fox Hunt and Landcross.
00:29:42Responding to Fox Hunt and Landcross.
00:29:4523-59.
00:30:01Why are we taking it?
00:30:04Him? With us?
00:30:06There's a system there.
00:30:08They're being murdered to investigate.
00:30:10And they come looking for you.
00:30:12But it's almost impossible to prosecute someone
00:30:14when there isn't a body.
00:30:16It'll be like he... he just vanished.
00:30:19Where are we going?
00:30:21First, we're going to my destination.
00:30:23Once we're done there, I'll take you where you need to go.
00:30:26And where is that?
00:30:29Someplace you can put a dead body where no one will find it.
00:30:36Okay.
00:30:58Take a right up here.
00:31:07Have you done this before?
00:31:10Have I done what before?
00:31:12You know, this sort of stuff.
00:31:15Hitting runs?
00:31:17Moving bodies.
00:31:23Just before the accident, you tried to take something from me.
00:31:26I had to grab your arm to stop you.
00:31:28I know.
00:31:30What were you going to do with that gun?
00:31:34What did you think I was going to do?
00:31:36I don't know.
00:31:38I was... scared.
00:31:41Scared of what?
00:31:45I looked in your bag.
00:31:48When we pulled over at the rest stop, I looked inside.
00:31:52You shouldn't have done that.
00:31:54What is all that stuff?
00:31:56Jewelry and gold watches.
00:31:59I saw you take the ring off that guy's finger.
00:32:01He doesn't need it.
00:32:03Is that how you got all that stuff?
00:32:05What do you mean?
00:32:06You stole it.
00:32:08You stole each piece off of somebody.
00:32:13Yes.
00:32:15I saw blood.
00:32:17On a watch.
00:32:19Did you?
00:32:25What happened to those people?
00:32:27You said that if I helped you, you'd follow my instructions.
00:32:30Do as I say.
00:32:31Yes.
00:32:32Be quiet.
00:32:53I understand you'd rather not be here.
00:32:55But I won't be long.
00:32:57I'd like to get this over with quickly.
00:32:59What do you want me to do?
00:33:01Absolutely nothing.
00:33:29I'm sorry.
00:33:59I'm sorry.
00:34:29I'm sorry.
00:35:00Hello?
00:35:06Hello?
00:35:08Yeah.
00:35:10Sure.
00:35:11Stay long.
00:35:13Excuse me.
00:35:15I'll call you back.
00:35:19Hey, pretty woman.
00:35:21Are you here to buy or are you here to party?
00:35:23I'm looking for someone.
00:35:25Party's in the living room.
00:35:27I think little boy's in the back doing some transactional shit.
00:35:30I gotta hit the head.
00:35:32Hopefully you'll stick around.
00:35:52Do I know you?
00:35:57Neil?
00:35:58Allison!
00:35:59I was about to ride.
00:36:02What took so long?
00:36:04My fault.
00:36:05Sorry.
00:36:06Car trouble.
00:36:07Check it out.
00:36:08I got my girl Bridget here.
00:36:10And over there, on the couch, is Bowser.
00:36:14Tripping off the VR.
00:36:16You wanna try it out?
00:36:18You take a hit of chalk, strap on the VR, and shoo!
00:36:22Down the tunnel, to a whole other universe.
00:36:25Man, it's wild.
00:36:26For real.
00:36:27I'm sure.
00:36:28It's great.
00:36:29But I'm looking for your friend.
00:36:31Oh.
00:36:32Yeah.
00:36:33I think he's in the back with Logan.
00:36:36Hey.
00:36:37Look out for Kathy.
00:36:55Hey.
00:36:56Hey.
00:36:57Hey.
00:36:58Hey.
00:36:59Hey.
00:37:00Hey.
00:37:01Hey.
00:37:02Hey.
00:37:03Hey.
00:37:04Hey.
00:37:05Hey.
00:37:06Hey.
00:37:07Hey.
00:37:08Hey.
00:37:09Hey.
00:37:10Hey.
00:37:11Hey.
00:37:12Hey.
00:37:13Hey.
00:37:14Hey.
00:37:15Hey.
00:37:16Hey.
00:37:17Hey.
00:37:18Hey.
00:37:19Hey.
00:37:20Hey.
00:37:21Hey.
00:37:22Hey.
00:37:23Hey.
00:37:24Hey.
00:37:25Hey.
00:37:26Hey.
00:37:27Hey.
00:37:33Who the fuck are you?
00:37:35I'm...
00:37:36Allison.
00:37:37I drive back seat.
00:37:40I'm here to pick someone up.
00:37:42Do you usually come inside when you pick someone up with your car?
00:37:44Well...
00:37:45You see, I dropped him off here, and now I have to take him somewhere else, so...
00:37:50Allison, huh?
00:37:51Right?
00:37:52Let me show you something.
00:37:53Let me show you something.
00:37:56Come on, this way. Come on.
00:38:01If you don't mind, I think I'm going to go back and wait in the car.
00:38:06Ladies first.
00:38:23So you're one of them rideshare drivers, yeah?
00:38:27How do you like it? Being a driver, I mean.
00:38:31You meet some interesting people.
00:38:35Have a seat.
00:38:47Let's set the mood.
00:38:54I mean, you're a good girl, right?
00:38:57You're not going to cause no problems to nobody.
00:38:59I'm sorry for going in your bedroom.
00:39:01I promise I was just looking for my friend.
00:39:06Well, if I know one thing,
00:39:09ain't nobody what they say they are.
00:39:12Take that Cosby cocksucker.
00:39:14Everybody think he's harmless and shit, making jokes about his sweater and puddin' pops.
00:39:18I mean, well, that motherfucker gone through more roofies than me.
00:39:21I mean, well, that motherfucker gone through more roofies than a UCF frat house.
00:39:31On the other hand, take me.
00:39:34Maybe you think I'm some kind of dope dealer,
00:39:39pusher, kingpin.
00:39:43Well, no, see, that ain't me.
00:39:45What I am is I'm a...
00:39:48I'm a healer.
00:39:51I'm a medicine man.
00:39:53You know, I...
00:39:55I bring the community together.
00:39:58You know?
00:40:00Yeah, thanks.
00:40:07What I want to know is what are you all about, little misdriver?
00:40:11See, I got a girl down at the courthouse.
00:40:13The cops are trying to work up a case against me.
00:40:16Get someone on the inside.
00:40:18In a sense, a couple days later, I catch you snooping around my boudoir,
00:40:23real Scooby-Doo-like.
00:40:26What am I supposed to think?
00:40:29You think I'm police?
00:40:35I don't know what the fuck you are.
00:40:39And that is the fucking problem.
00:40:49That is Kathy.
00:40:52Kathy guards my shit.
00:40:55Kathy makes problems disappear,
00:40:57like unwanted guests.
00:41:00Little boy, what's going on in there?
00:41:05Who sent you?
00:41:07Is it Adreno?
00:41:08Open up right now or I'm taking my shit across town...
00:41:10You try that and you see what you get from that cheap-ass motherfucker.
00:41:12Look at me.
00:41:13I swear I'm not police.
00:41:15You know, that is exactly what a cop would say.
00:41:17I couldn't be a cop.
00:41:18Really? And why is that?
00:41:20Because...
00:41:22Because...
00:41:29Go get her, Kathy.
00:41:37Because there's a dead body in my trunk.
00:41:39For what?
00:41:41And why would a good girl like you have something like that in her trunk?
00:41:47Because...
00:42:03I'm the one who killed him.
00:42:11Psycho chicks are the best.
00:42:14I'm gonna go wait inside.
00:42:17Yeah, I was gonna say you could do that.
00:42:20Yeah.
00:42:44So you met Kathy.
00:42:46Kathy the crocodile.
00:42:48I thought she was an alligator.
00:42:51She got teeth, and she live in a swamp.
00:42:54What the fuck difference does it make?
00:42:56I did a report on alligators in middle school.
00:42:58With respect.
00:43:03So who's this guy you're talking about?
00:43:05I don't know.
00:43:06He's a cop.
00:43:07He's a cop.
00:43:08He's a cop.
00:43:09He's a cop.
00:43:10He's a cop.
00:43:12So who's this guy you brought?
00:43:14Oh, guys.
00:43:15Guys, I see it.
00:43:17I don't know.
00:43:18I just met him tonight.
00:43:21You don't know him?
00:43:23No.
00:43:25But if Neil says he's cool,
00:43:27then he's cool.
00:43:29Hey, Neil.
00:43:31Your boy is cool, right?
00:43:33Nah.
00:43:34He's an asshole.
00:43:37So you can just ditch this guy, right?
00:43:40I mean, if you want to get out of here,
00:43:43just say the word.
00:43:45I know a few places we can go.
00:43:51Yeah, I don't think so.
00:43:55Hey, hold on, man.
00:43:56Three caps?
00:43:57Yo, I need at least four.
00:43:58It took me months to get all this.
00:44:00I hear you, man, but that is business.
00:44:02Tell you what, three caps,
00:44:04you can have a hit of whatever you like on my table over there.
00:44:06Thanks.
00:44:07I'll just stick with the toast.
00:44:10I suppose you're ready to go?
00:44:11You think?
00:44:12Well, let's go.
00:44:13We've still got to get out to the Oaks.
00:44:15You mean Lake Oakley?
00:44:17What's out there?
00:44:19Oh, shit!
00:44:20Oh, my God!
00:44:21Move the table.
00:44:22Move the table.
00:44:23What's she taking?
00:44:24What's she on?
00:44:25She took some meat and she did a bum.
00:44:27Give me your purse.
00:44:31She's epileptic and you gave her coke.
00:44:33I don't know.
00:44:34What are you saying?
00:44:35What does that even mean?
00:44:36Come on, boy, open my bag.
00:44:37I need to bop him.
00:44:39Oh, my God, is she going to die?
00:44:41Yes.
00:44:46Oh, my God.
00:45:04I thought you said she was going to die.
00:45:06She was.
00:45:07Let's go.
00:45:16What happened?
00:45:19What the hell was that?
00:45:20They're an interesting crowd.
00:45:22I mean, what was that with the girl?
00:45:24What did you put in her mouth?
00:45:26Hey, hey, wait a minute.
00:45:28Here.
00:45:30Bonus.
00:45:32You earned that.
00:45:33Got one less dead chick in my house because of you.
00:45:35Thanks.
00:45:37But you.
00:45:39Sweetheart, you better get that car washed
00:45:40before someone thinks you really did kill someone.
00:45:50Salutations, motherfuckers.
00:45:56Shit.
00:46:05Captain?
00:46:06Yeah.
00:46:07Dispatch said you needed something?
00:46:09Yes, sir.
00:46:10I put a call in for a team of crime scene techs.
00:46:12Yeah, well, what do you got?
00:46:14Potential hit and run.
00:46:15Got a long streak of blood
00:46:17running down the middle of the road here.
00:46:19Looks like the victim made it to the side of the road.
00:46:21Well, what's the condition of the victim?
00:46:23Well, the victim isn't here.
00:46:25No victim.
00:46:27So you found blood in the street?
00:46:31Yes, sir.
00:46:33You know, Hartford, people hit animals
00:46:35all the time.
00:46:36A dead dog does not warrant
00:46:38a police investigation.
00:46:40Well, there's an awful lot of blood here, sir.
00:46:42Well, maybe it was a great frickin' day.
00:46:45Now, look.
00:46:46I know you're trying to make your bones here, okay?
00:46:48But this is not the way you do it.
00:46:51You find a body in the street,
00:46:53call that in.
00:46:55You'll find blood in the street.
00:46:56It's a job for sanitation.
00:46:58Yeah, sorry, sir.
00:46:59Understood.
00:47:05Okay.
00:47:35So what's with the gun anyway?
00:47:53I don't really trust those guys.
00:48:03I can't sleep.
00:48:05I haven't slept in days.
00:48:08I've been working 24-hour shifts
00:48:09trying to keep busy, but...
00:48:12I go through the days in a trance.
00:48:14I've tried a lot of stuff, but...
00:48:16the only thing that works for it is diazepam.
00:48:18My insurance won't cover it, but...
00:48:20I need it, so...
00:48:22I have some pills on me.
00:48:24Diazepam?
00:48:25Yeah.
00:48:26Well, you...
00:48:27can also treat a seizure in an emergency.
00:48:29So I guess I was lucky.
00:48:32And what are those?
00:48:34Rescue tools.
00:48:35I use them to...
00:48:37cut people out of seatbelts.
00:48:39I can also cut through clothing,
00:48:40trim bandages.
00:48:42Got a lot of uses.
00:48:44You're an EMT.
00:48:46I'm a paramedic.
00:49:05So what you were saying before...
00:49:07all the jewelry and stuff...
00:49:10did you really take those off of dead bodies?
00:49:14Sometimes they're dead when we get there.
00:49:16Sometimes it's on the way to the hospital.
00:49:18You know, most calls we get are just minor stuff.
00:49:21A bar fight.
00:49:22Most times you just patch them up, but...
00:49:24not always.
00:49:25And what happens?
00:49:27I don't know.
00:49:29I don't know.
00:49:32And what happens?
00:49:34It could be anything.
00:49:36The last call we got was for this girl.
00:49:38Probably in her 20s, early 30s.
00:49:40Working a late shift at a restaurant downtown.
00:49:43Somebody accosts her right in the parking lot.
00:49:45Never found out who or why.
00:49:47Guy's gone when we get there.
00:49:49But, uh...
00:49:50she's been stabbed eight times.
00:49:53Anterior puncture right along her ventricular
00:49:56already been perforated.
00:49:58We can't stop the bleeding.
00:50:00And I'm with her when she dies.
00:50:05And I'm usually the one who's there.
00:50:09Was she the one with the watch?
00:50:12The one I found with the blood on it?
00:50:15She had a watch,
00:50:17necklace,
00:50:18pair of earrings.
00:50:20I removed them all before we got to the hospital.
00:50:24Do you ever regret it?
00:50:27When you take that stuff?
00:50:29Should I?
00:50:31Well, most people,
00:50:33when they see someone die, they get upset.
00:50:37Makes them sad, you know?
00:50:42Unless you're a psychopath.
00:50:45Yeah, if I got upset every time I saw someone die,
00:50:48I wouldn't be able to do my job.
00:50:51If I got upset every time I saw someone die,
00:50:53I wouldn't be able to do my job.
00:50:55I found that out pretty quick.
00:50:57So it used to bother you?
00:51:00I suppose.
00:51:02Yeah, it did.
00:51:04Back when I started.
00:51:06And what happened?
00:51:08Uh, I learned how to do the job.
00:51:11You just gotta step outside of yourself for a little while.
00:51:16Just kind of switch your foot.
00:51:19It's not that you turn off when you do this kind of work.
00:51:22When you're back home,
00:51:24when you have duty, you can cry if you have to.
00:51:27You can grieve.
00:51:29One day I got to work and
00:51:32flipped that switch and I just left it off.
00:51:36Seemed to make things easier, so.
00:51:39So are you gonna live the rest of your life that way?
00:51:43Yeah, I don't know what that makes me.
00:51:46Maybe I am a psychopath.
00:51:48No.
00:51:50A psychopath is someone who pretends to feel things even when they don't.
00:51:54You're talking about someone who pretends not to feel things.
00:51:59Even when they do.
00:52:09Did you ever think that that might be the reason?
00:52:13The reason for what?
00:52:15The reason you can't sleep at night.
00:52:46Okay.
00:52:55And 20 on pump 5, please.
00:52:58Your total's 43.72.
00:53:04It's a chip. You gotta use the chip reader.
00:53:08Thanks.
00:53:38Hey, lady.
00:53:41You forgot something.
00:53:43Oh, thanks.
00:53:45So what are you doing with all this stuff?
00:53:48Bleaching garbage bags.
00:53:50Cleaning.
00:53:55Do you hear that?
00:53:57It's my phone.
00:53:59Are you gonna answer it?
00:54:01Hey, can you come here for a minute?
00:54:04Sure.
00:54:08Um...
00:54:15How do you get to Highway 50 from here?
00:54:18Well, if you're headed east, you just follow the road that way a few more blocks until you hit the second light.
00:54:32Hey, are you all right?
00:54:34I'm fine.
00:54:36Looks like I missed it.
00:54:40Well, okay then.
00:54:42Thanks.
00:55:07That was a mistake.
00:55:09I should have never let anyone get that close to the car.
00:55:12Sort of makes you wonder, though, you know?
00:55:14Who's calling this person?
00:55:16Not really.
00:55:18Honestly, I don't want to think about it.
00:55:20It's not a good sign, though.
00:55:22What do you mean?
00:55:23They're getting calls at this time of night.
00:55:25Someone's trying to get in touch with them.
00:55:27That means someone's already looking for them.
00:55:30So what are we gonna do?
00:55:32I don't know.
00:55:38Look, just tell me where we're going.
00:55:40What's this spot you're talking about?
00:55:42Have you ever heard of Lake Oakley?
00:55:44Yeah. It's out in the boonies, right?
00:55:47Isn't there a camp out there?
00:55:49Uh, no.
00:55:50Well, no, yeah, there used to be.
00:55:52A couple years ago, visitors started getting sick.
00:55:55A kid died.
00:55:57The lake was contaminated with algal blooms.
00:56:01The resort shut down,
00:56:02and the whole lake is covered in this layer of toxic algae.
00:56:05So if you get inside there and you sink something in that water,
00:56:09it'll be years before anybody finds it, if ever.
00:56:12Sink it?
00:56:14How do you sink it?
00:56:16Tie it to something heavy, like some bricks.
00:56:22What about concrete blocks?
00:56:25Good evening.
00:56:27I'm looking into a possible hit-and-run.
00:56:29I'm wondering if anyone's used your car wash.
00:56:31I'm gonna stop you right there.
00:56:38Do you remember anything about them?
00:56:40The girl came in and bought some stuff.
00:56:43What kind of stuff?
00:56:45Garbage bags and bleach, maybe 20 minutes ago.
00:56:48Did they say where they were headed?
00:56:50You know, that guy right there was actually asking me
00:56:53how to get to the highway from here.
00:56:56Isn't there some kind of reward?
00:57:11Here we go.
00:57:13We got him.
00:57:14That was lucky.
00:57:16Not really.
00:57:17These are leftover water bottles.
00:57:19These are leftover ones from the basement.
00:57:22The foreman uses them to make little work benches.
00:57:25You've been here before?
00:57:26Every day.
00:57:29I designed this whole building back when I still had my job.
00:57:33Now all I can do is sit in the car eating a sandwich
00:57:35while I watch the rest of them do the work without me.
00:57:38If they're still using your designs, why would they fire you?
00:57:41Like I said, personal failings.
00:57:46I was dating my boss.
00:57:48Oh, I see.
00:57:49And he got caught?
00:57:51No.
00:57:53He broke up with me.
00:57:56He was married.
00:57:59I don't know how I thought things would go.
00:58:02I guess I was fooling myself.
00:58:04I told him I thought he was making the wrong choice,
00:58:06but he made it very clear that he was done with me.
00:58:11And just to make sure I didn't cause him any more trouble,
00:58:15he reported me to HR and got me fired.
00:58:18Oh.
00:58:19So that's what happened to my career.
00:58:23The thing I always wanted to do.
00:58:26Not just do.
00:58:27Not just a job.
00:58:29I've wanted to be an architect since I was a little girl.
00:58:33And now I drive strangers around in my car every night just to make rent.
00:58:37And I spend every day trying to find someone else who will hire me.
00:58:43It's not like I could get a reference from my old boss, so...
00:58:47I've kind of been left out in the cold.
00:58:52At least now you can get your revenge.
00:58:55What do you mean?
00:58:57We're still on their cinder blocks.
00:59:00These have got to be worth at least a dollar apiece.
00:59:04Good point.
00:59:06We'll teach them.
00:59:07Can I ask you something?
00:59:09What?
00:59:11Why did you decide to help me?
00:59:16You needed help.
00:59:19Wow.
00:59:23Mike.
00:59:25What?
00:59:26Mike.
00:59:28That's my name.
00:59:30Thank you, Mike.
01:00:08Mike.
01:00:09What's wrong?
01:00:10Nothing.
01:00:40Can I see the guy's phone?
01:01:00What do you need that for?
01:01:02Just thinking that we need to be thorough.
01:01:04Every trace of this guy needs to disappear or this will all come back to you.
01:01:09We should probably pull the battery out, just in case.
01:01:13You probably can track that stuff now.
01:01:15I'm not sure that's how it works.
01:01:17Well, just to be on the safe side, we should destroy the phone, not just sink it.
01:01:22Maybe you can break it in half.
01:01:24The person that called when we were at the gas station?
01:01:26It says her name was Michelle.
01:01:29What did you say?
01:01:42Detective Hartford, please come in.
01:01:44Your vehicle will do back at the station in an hour.
01:02:02Huh.
01:02:03What?
01:02:04I asked you something this guy said before he died.
01:02:07He said, ladybug.
01:02:10He did?
01:02:11Yeah.
01:02:12I didn't know what it meant at the time, but it's a person.
01:02:16Someone's call history.
01:02:18That's why he mentioned her.
01:02:20That was the last person he spoke to.
01:02:23And look at the time stamp.
01:02:25When was the accident?
01:02:27I don't remember.
01:02:30It was around midnight.
01:02:33He got a call from this woman minutes before he died.
01:02:36How do you know it's a woman?
01:02:39Ladybug.
01:02:48Who do you think it is?
01:02:52Shit.
01:02:54What do I do?
01:02:56You have to pull over.
01:02:58It's probably nothing.
01:03:00Like a busted taillight.
01:03:03I'll just get my ticket and that'll be that.
01:03:31Everything all right?
01:03:32Can you step out of the car, ma'am?
01:03:44Come with me.
01:03:50What's going on?
01:03:52Came across a scene of a possible hit and run earlier this evening.
01:03:56Oh, my God.
01:03:58There's a lot of blood at the scene, but no body.
01:04:00Do you know anything about that?
01:04:03I'm not sure what you mean.
01:04:20Did you take your car through a car wash earlier this evening?
01:04:25I may have.
01:04:27Any particular reason for that?
01:04:29The car was dirty.
01:04:31I have a meeting to clean it.
01:05:00I'm going to take a look.
01:05:02This will only take a second.
01:05:29Hello?
01:05:39Hi.
01:05:41It's me.
01:05:43You all right?
01:05:44What's going on?
01:05:45I'm okay, I think.
01:05:49I mean, I picked this guy up for a ride, and I don't know.
01:05:52There's something creepy about him.
01:05:55I'm sorry.
01:05:56I don't know what to tell you, but I just didn't know what to do.
01:06:02Do you need any help?
01:06:04Can you meet me outside?
01:06:07I'm right down the street from the office.
01:06:09Yeah, of course.
01:06:10Give me a minute.
01:06:11I'll be right down.
01:06:12I'm sorry.
01:06:14I just don't know what to do.
01:06:16I feel like something really bad is going to happen.
01:06:20If I look in the trunk of that car, what am I going to find?
01:06:23Nothing.
01:06:25Old clothes I was planning to give away.
01:06:30Okay, I'm going to ask you to open the trunk.
01:06:40Okay, can you take a step back now?
01:07:05Look.
01:07:10No, no, no, no.
01:07:19That was close.
01:07:34Looks good, man.
01:07:42You need a receipt?
01:07:45You serious?
01:07:47Get the fuck out of here.
01:07:48You'll probably need a bag over there.
01:07:57You can use a bag for transportation purposes or whatever,
01:08:00but I'm going to need a bag.
01:08:02For my kids.
01:08:04Yeah, sure thing.
01:08:21Hey, Captain.
01:08:46Yeah.
01:08:49It's done.
01:08:51Headed back to the station.
01:08:53There's something I want to check out first.
01:08:56Let me ask you.
01:08:58What's the best way to head out to Lake Oak?
01:09:13Allison.
01:09:15Hey, Mike.
01:09:17I just want to say I appreciate you sticking with me through all this.
01:09:20This whole thing has not been easy for me.
01:09:23But you have kept a level head.
01:09:25You have kept me calm and focused when everything else was crazy.
01:09:30If you weren't here, I don't know what I'd do.
01:09:33So, thank you.
01:09:36Allison.
01:09:37Yeah.
01:09:39Who was that man in the trunk?
01:09:45He knew you.
01:09:48He's the one I told you about.
01:09:51Who?
01:09:52When I worked at Miller and Westhoff.
01:09:55He was my boss.
01:09:58You were Ladybug.
01:10:02The one that called him.
01:10:05Right before the accident.
01:10:08Did you know that he would be on that street corner?
01:10:14But it was all an accident.
01:10:17You were hysterical.
01:10:18Was I?
01:10:20Yeah, of course.
01:10:23I needed an alibi.
01:10:25You were supposed to come to my rescue.
01:10:28Maybe I went a little overboard.
01:10:30But believe me, I've cried enough real tears for Ray already.
01:10:36I just needed someone to speak to the police.
01:10:39I didn't expect you to volunteer as an accomplice.
01:10:46It doesn't matter.
01:10:48When we get to the lake, we can get rid of him.
01:10:51Thanks to you.
01:10:54And then, we'll be done with all of this.
01:11:02Right.
01:11:32I'm going to start scrubbing the blood out of the trunk.
01:11:45You got this?
01:12:17I'm going to start scrubbing the blood out of the trunk.
01:12:47Okay.
01:13:10You worn out?
01:13:12You must be tired.
01:13:14I have a lot of work.
01:13:23I heard they ever come out here.
01:13:27You'd think it would be quiet at night, but...
01:13:30Listen.
01:13:32Frogs.
01:13:34Crickets.
01:13:37It's kind of nice just to listen to.
01:13:43You all right?
01:13:46I'll be fine.
01:13:48You want to go home?
01:13:52Yeah.
01:14:22If you want, I can put on some music.
01:14:26But you don't like pop music, right?
01:14:28You're more of a classical guy.
01:14:32I don't know.
01:14:34It doesn't matter.
01:14:36I bet I know what you're looking forward to.
01:14:39What?
01:14:40When you get home, you're looking forward to getting some sleep.
01:14:49I don't blame you.
01:14:52We've been driving all night.
01:14:54I'm exhausted.
01:14:57I can't wait to get home and forget all about this.
01:15:06So what are you going to do?
01:15:09What do you mean?
01:15:11There's two bodies.
01:15:13You left that cop back there.
01:15:15What are you going to do about that?
01:15:17I don't know.
01:15:20Do you think I need to do something?
01:15:22You shot him.
01:15:23Yeah, but...
01:15:26That wasn't my gun.
01:15:29That was the gun from your bag.
01:15:32I pulled it out back at the gas station.
01:15:35Did you buy that gun yourself or did you borrow it from someone?
01:15:41I...
01:15:45I bought it.
01:15:47So it's registered to you, then.
01:15:52Well, if you're on record as the owner, then I don't really have anything to worry about, now do I?
01:16:05You all right, Mike?
01:16:11See, I told you you'd be sleepy.
01:16:21Where are they?
01:16:24Where are they?
01:16:26I had four bottles in here.
01:16:28Yeah, you probably don't need them, but just in case, I crushed a couple up for you.
01:16:32If you've been drinking that soda, you're probably starting to feel it.
01:16:51And don't worry about any loose ends.
01:16:54No one will know what happened.
01:16:57I'll make sure of it.
01:17:00Mike, relax.
01:17:30Oh, fuck.
01:18:00Fuck.
01:18:22Fuck you.
01:18:51Fuck you.
01:19:20Fuck you.
01:19:49Fuck you.
01:20:18Fuck you.
01:20:47Fuck you.
01:20:55Fuck you.
01:21:18Fuck!
01:21:47Fuck!
01:22:02Gordy Wilson.
01:22:03Orlando Petey.
01:22:20She says this guy called for a ride, then forced her to drive around the city trading stolen merchandise and drugs.
01:22:26Came across these two at Lowboys, and I knew something was up.
01:22:31Yesterday we headed out to Lake Oakley when an officer pulled him over.
01:22:35She says he shot him right in front of her.
01:22:39Christ.
01:22:44Well, it sounds like she's had a hell of a night.
01:22:55Miss, are you all right?
01:22:59I don't think so.
01:23:01It's all over now. You're safe.
01:23:06Thanks.
01:23:14To plan is more than just preparation.
01:23:17It is to conceive of the desired outcome.
01:23:20To define the shape of one's future.
01:23:25When your plan is fully realized, there is no one and nothing that can stand in your way.
