Temptation Under the Sun (2022) - full transcript

♪ ah, yeah ♪

Remember me, councilman?

You're hard to forget.

Detective...

Cruz, is it?

Now that you blocked
my driveway,

What can I do for you?

I think you know.

Look, I'm late
for a meeting with the mayor.

If you wanna keep harassing me

About what happened
to that reporter,



Call my office
and make an appointment.

You mean what you did
to that reporter.

Be careful, detective.

Men like you think
you can get away with anything

Using threats and intimidation,

But that's not gonna work on me.

Honey, I survived
three administrations,

Two recall votes,
and a rico indictment.

What makes you think

You're gonna be able to do
what they haven't?

I don't take vacations.

A vacation?

You're kidding, right?

You threatened the president
of the city council



In his own home
on private property.

You know as well as I do that
he got them to start that fire.

He's as dirty
as my week-old laundry.

And I don't care.
We can't touch him.

And that's right
from the chief.

Let me guess.
Those two went to yale together.

- Harvard.
- [scoffs]

But that's not the point.

Look, I admire your work ethic,

But there's a way
things are done around here,

And this ain't it.

Fine.

I'll back off. I promise.

That's not gonna be enough.
He wants you gone.

At least till
after the election.

And you know what?
I agree with him.

Now, I know you got
a lot of off time banked,

And I want you to use it.

St. Luke.
It's a speck in the caribbean.

Took my wife there
for our 20th.

You know. Sun, sand, surf.

You'll love it.

I burn easily.

You know, they got
this amazing invention--

Sunscreen.

Buy some.

Now, get out.

♪♪

[yawns]

Hello, front desk.

Hi. Yeah. I was wondering
if you could tell me

Where I could grab
a good meal around here.

[up-tempo caribbean music
playing]

Whoo!

[coughs]

Hey, minnie.

Let's get another round for me
and my good friend winston here.

And what all this for?

He just lost another charter.

Whoa, whoa. Incorrect.

I rejected another charter.

Travis king.

We did that three years,

And we never see
a turn on money yet.

Well, darling,
that's a good sign

To keep you in the manner
to which you were accustomed.

I come to me senses.
So you can gwine.

Admit it.

You miss me.

Miss you?

You in my damn bar every night.

But, seriously,
why did you turn them down?

Look, man, I'm not so broke
that I have to put up

With a bunch of coke sniffing
douche bags for eight hours.

[sighs]

Not yet anyway.

[laughs]

Hello there.

Eh, eh. I does know that tone.

Me, too.

I am send it to you.

♪♪

You all right?

Yeah. Just...

Hard to get out
of work mode sometimes.

I know the feeling.
First time you reach down here?

First time just about anywhere.

Well, welcome.
My name is minerva,

And all of this is mine.

Cassady.

Please to meet you.

It's incredible.

Thanks.

You have a man?

Uh, no. I don't...
Really have the time.

Give him a try.

He's, uh, good guy?

You hungry?
You want something to eat?

Jerk chicken, the bomb.

That sounds delicious.

Thanks.

All right.

[[up-tempo caribbean music
playing]

Want some company, beautiful?

No, thanks.

So, you'll take a drink
from that yank

But not from me?

That yank had manners.

So now you're just being rude.

Oh, buddy, you really need

To reconsider
your pickup techniques.

[scoffs]

Sorry. Is there a problem here?

I can handle this. Thanks.

Oh. Did you--
did you hear that, sean?

The lady said that she can
handle it. Okay, cupcake?

So, what do you say, uh,
you and I, we back off

And we let the lady enjoy
the rest of her night.

Okay?

[slaps back]

Sure.

Travis: Oh!

You're gonna regret this, king.

[sighs]

So, is that how you spend every
Friday night, mr. King, was it?

Oh. Call me travis.

And, no, usually the fights
are about money.

But, uh, you're welcome, miss...

Cassady. Cassady cruz.

And I did tell you
that I didn't need any help.

You must be hardheaded,

'cause even I heard her
say that.

Cassady, uh,
meet my associate, winston.

Winston, this is cassady.

He's actually my associate.

Travis: Whatever. Look, uh,

I'd hate it
if that jerk back there

Gave you the wrong impression
about this place,

So, um, how about
I give you a tour of the island?

I don't know.

I'm gonna be pretty busy
the next couple of days.

- [winston snickering]
- busy with what?

I have work
I need to catch up on.

You know,
if you're working on vacation,

You're, uh, doing it wrong.

Who said I'm on vacation?

She's got you there, my man.
Come, travis.

Come, my man.
Give the lady some space.

Hey, wait. Wait. Wait.

Wait.

Look, I--I get it.

You don't care about seeing
what's on the island.

But, uh,

What if I were to show you
what's under the water?

Have you ever seen a coral reef?

I mean,
a real coral reef up close.

- Only in pictures.
- [scoffs] in pictures.

Okay. Here's what I'm proposing.

You come to my part
of the marina at 10 a.M.,

And we change there.

You have a boat?

[laughs] yes.

And it's actually what I do
when I'm not out defending

The honor of...

Beautiful women.

I take rich tourists out
in the open sea

And I show 'em a good time.

Oh, well,

I'm not rich.

Well, that's okay.

This one's on the house.

So,

Is that a yes?

I'll think about it.

♪♪

[music fades]

Man: You need to listen to me.

[speaking indistinct]

[door closes]

Minerva? Are you okay?

Just some island politics.

Some people can't take no
for an answer.

Damn.

I thought they played rough
in detroit.

There's less to fight over
down here,

So we treasure
every square inch.

Hmm.

Why you up so early?

I wanted to thank you
for dinner last night.

Oh. You're good.

But it's still real early.

Your friend travis
wants to show me some coral.

Oh.

Him never show me so quick.

Oh. Were you and he...

[sighs]

Best mistake of my life.

Any words of advice?

Yeah.

Go with the flow. Take it easy.

Oh, uh, minerva, he never
told me the name of his boat.

Oh. He don't have one.
But you can't miss it.

Just look out
for the parrot there.

For the parrot.

[up-tempo caribbean music
playing]

[up-tempo caribbean music
playing]

[laughs]
"look for the parrot."

Nice knife.

Hello!

Hello?

Knock, knock. Anyone home?

Oh, my god!

Um...

Travis: Hey.

Uh, you're early.

You said 10:00. It's 10:00.

I meant 10:00 island time.

- Island time?
- Yeah. It's--

They don't exactly put that
in the brochure.

You're right. Uh, my bad.

Uh, just, uh,
give me five minutes.

Don't go anywhere.
I'll be--I'll be good to go.

Sure.

Whew.

[up-tempo caribbean music
playing]

Hey. So, um, sorry
about, uh, back there.

[chuckles]

You okay?

Yeah. I'm fine.

You don't like boats, do you?

Are you kidding? I practically
grew up on the water.

My dad was a longshoreman.

Oh. No kidding.

Which coast? East or west.

- Detroit.
- [laughs]

What's so funny?

Nothing. I, uh--

I'm actually from chicago.

I didn't set foot on a boat
until I was 13.

If you're such a city slicker,
what are you doing in st. Luke?

I can ask you
the same question.

My boss wanted me
out of sight for a few weeks.

Ah.

I can see that.

I mean, from what I've seen,
I can tell

That you definitely need
to relax a little more.

With all due respect,

You don't know anything
about me.

That's true. That's true.

But I'd like to.

Well, you brought me out here
to see some coral reefs,

So it's time
to put up or shut up.

Yes, ma'am.

[up-tempo caribbean music
playing]

That was beautiful.

I don't think I've ever seen
so many colors in my life.

Now you know
why I came to the caribbean.

I'm starting to see the appeal.

Can I, uh, get my shirt back?

I guess so.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Well...

I see you finally found
your sea legs.

I guess it's like riding a bike.

The body remembers.

Well...

We could, uh,

Go back to my bungalow.

Don't you think
we should save something

For the second date?

So there's gonna be
a second date, huh?

Yep.

Okay.

Well, I can see that you spared
no expense in accommodations.

My captain said go,

So I just booked the first place
I found with a vacancy.

"captain"?

I'm a detective. Detroit pd.

You're a cop?

Why? Is that a problem?

No.

No. I just...

Don't normally like cops.

Do you have a gun too?

I left that at home.

Well, uh, detective cruz,

Are you gonna let me buy you
breakfast tomorrow morning?

Meet me here at 8:00.
Island time.

I wanna try to get
a swim in first thing.

Um...

Well,

I guess this is good night...

Detective.

Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.

[up-tempo caribbean music
playing]

Travis: Nice form.

You're early.

Yeah. I, uh--I couldn't sleep.

I hope you worked up
an appetite.

I'm starving.

And, obviously,
I can't go like this.

Oh. No, I...Wouldn't mind.

My towel, please.

It's a damn shame.

Wait here
while I take a quick shower?

With bells on.

So, do you often have
trouble sleeping?

Uh, no. Just when beautiful cops
come into my life.

I find it diff--

That's odd.

Excuse me.

Lynch, what's going on?
Where's--where's minerva?

Sorry. No one goes in.

She's my friend, okay?

I don't care
if she was your mother.

No one goes in until
the chief inspector's done.

[man clears throat]

So, travis king.
Just the man I wanted to see.

Detective,
what's going on in there?

This yours?

Whoa.

My god. Is that...

Is it yours? Yes or no.

I mean, it kind
of looks like it, but, I mean--

Constable lynch.

Take mr. King to the station
for questioning.

Questioning? For what? Hey.
Where's minerva?

She's dead.

But something tells me
you already knew that.

No.

What a minute.

Interfere, and I will
lock you up for obstruction.

Come on, king. Let's go.

Hey. Cassady, don't worry.
It's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay.

Oh, you are so not okay.

Winston.

Cassady?
What are you doing here?

I wanna help.

Where's travis?

They have him holed up
in the back for their questions.

Have they charged him
with anything?

If they have,
they didn't bother to tell me.

He needs a lawyer.

[laughing]

A law--a lawyer?

That's gonna do nothing
for him here.

What do you mean?

I mean, this is st. Luke.

If the police say you're guilty,
then you're guilty.

[scoffs]

All this trials
is just be for show.

Constable, I'm cassady cruz.

I'm a police officer
from detroit

And a friend of travis king.

Is he being charged
with a crime?

That's still being decided.

Okay. Well, you're gonna want
to take my statement.

Why is that?

Because I was with him
all day yesterday.

Travis.

Cass.

Cass, what are you doing here?

What do you think?

She says she's a cop
from the states

And that she was with him
all day yesterday.

Chief inspector ian dexter,
miss...

Cruz. Detective cruz.
Detroit police department.

You say you were
with mr. King all day.

That's right.

Cass, listen to me.

You need to stay
out of this, okay? You can't...

Time of death
was between midnight and 2 a.M.

Was he with you
through the night as well?

No. I was back at my hotel
around midnight.

Word of advice, detective cruz.

Go home to detroit.
Forget you ever met this man.

- [travis scoffs]
- book him.

I saw someone arguing
with the victim yesterday.

Yesterday morning at minerva's.

He was a tall man,
and he was wearing a panama hat.

Well, you have
my attention, detective.

How about we step
into my office?

Cassady: And then he left.

That's when I spoke to minerva.

She tried to brush it off, but I
could tell that it was serious.

You said you couldn't hear
anything they said.

No, but it was the way
they were talking.

I mean, he grabbed her arm.

But you never saw his face.

No. Like I said,
he was standing in the shadows

Faced away from me,
wearing a hat, like I told you.

You know, half the men
on this island wear panama hats.

And this argument
could have been about anything.

Maybe he was a poor tipper.
A bill perhaps.

"island politics."

- I'm sorry?
- That's what she said.

She said, "there's less
to fight about down here,

And that's why we treasure
every square inch."

Hmm. Well, what do you think
she meant by that?

I don't know.

[sighs] I see. Okay.

Well, um, I'm sorry, detective.
I just don't think

There's really is enough
to go off of here.

You're not gonna look into it?

I mean, maybe she had a business
relationship with this person.

You should look
into her phone,

Her records,
her bank statements.

We do know how to conduct
an investigation down here,

Detective.

I'm sorry.

Look,

If travis did this,
what is his motive?

Travis and the deceased
were former lovers.

It ended badly.

Come on, as a cop, you certainly
know how many women

Have been murdered
by their exes.

I really appreciate you
bringing this to my attention.

But if there's nothing else,

I really must get back to work.

[sighs]

When's the arraignment?

Tomorrow morning.

Are you planning to attend?

It's looking
more and more likely.

Thank you.

[up-tempo caribbean music
playing]

Not that I particularly
mind you buying me piña coladas

All day, but--

Do you think he did it?

Travis?

You're mad.

Not in a million years.

He and minerva,
two peas in a pod.

Besides, he doesn't have
a violent bone in his body.

That's what I thought.

Look, gal,

Don't take this the wrong way,
but...You just met him.

Why you care so much?

I--I don't.

I'm just--I'm a--
I'm a police officer.

I'm not just gonna stand by

While an innocent man
gets railroaded.

Is there another reason?

What other reason will be there?

I don't know.

I thought maybe you fancy him.

There he is.

- Sean?
- Mm-hmm.

Winston: That's who
we spying on?

How does you
even know he here?

I'm a detective, remember?

Winston: What is it you detect?

That he's got a woman here
he comes to visit

Every time he gets a paycheck.

In there?

How do I not know these things?

I does live here.

Sean is a piece of work, but...

Murder? I don't know.

I bumped into him
at the station,

And he said, "I told him he
shouldn't have messed with me."

That sounds a lot like
an admission of guilt to me.

He's on the move. Let's go.

This is a bad idea.

Look at that.

Must be a payoff.
I knew he was dirty.

So is every cop on the island.

What do you mean?

Some of the senior officers
just like to pretend

They above taking bribes.

So they get guys like sean
to do it for them.

It's a side hustle.
[continues, indistinct]

Senior officers.

Like...

Chief inspector dexter?

Especially him.

So, who does
sunglasses work for?

The real people
that runs the island.

A bunch of old-money families
that made their fortune

Off of sugar cane
back in the day.

Now all they just care about

Is making sure the tourist
dollars keep flowing in.

You know who these people are?

Everybody does know.

You met one of them.
Constable lynch.

Cassady.

You really think
sean killed minerva

To get back at travis?

I don't know,

But I'm gonna find out.

Lucky you have someone
looking out for you.

Can you uncuff him, please?

Did you pay my bail?

Most of it,
but she paid the rest.

Thank you.

Both of you.

King, you better be here

Thursday morning
bright and early.

Oh, yeah?
What happens Thursday morning?

It's your preliminary hearing.

Preliminary hearing?

Oh, man, that's the same thing
as sentencing.

I know. Come. Let's go.

I'll drop you two off
before my next charter.

- Cass, you coming?
- Yeah. I'm coming.

[exhales]

[snickers]

This is why I don't like cops.

No respect for private property.

No offense.

None taken.

[travis exhales]

Does this happen often?

Whenever dexter thinks
I'm guilty of something.

So yeah.
It happens pretty often.

Minerva and dexter
have a history?

Yeah. Why?

I think he might be the man
that I saw arguing with her

The morning before her murder.

Wait.

You think dexter may have been
the one who killed her?

Didn't you just tell winston
that you thought it was sean?

Maybe he had him do it for him.
I don't know. I just--

My gut is telling me

That the chief inspector
is definitely involved.

They were lovers.

Till she dumped him for me.

And as you can guess,
he didn't take it very well.

Understandable.

Huh. But, I mean,
that was six years ago.

Why would he wait so long
to get even?

Well...

Okay.

We go over dexter's head.

There's gotta be
a politician, a prosecutor,

Someone who's willing
to talk to us, who'll listen.

Cass, you don't understand
how things work around here.

Winston told me,
but...I'm not buying it.

If the cops won't talk to us,
let's--let's call the embassy,

Get the state department
to pull some strings.

I don't think
that's gonna work either.

Why not?

Kind of had a little--

Little...

Trouble with the irs.

It's, uh--[chuckles]

It's kind of the reason
I came down here.

[sighs] and I thought
it was for the scenery.

Okay, it wasn't
for the scenery, all right?

[sighs]

I'm not a criminal.

My accountant was.

And the feds came after me.

Wanted me to pay back
all these taxes,

A lot of money
that my accountant stole.

I spent everything that I had
on lawyers,

But they just--
they just kept coming after me.

They kept harassing me.
I just thought, "you know,

It would just be easier
if I left the country," so...

I did.

It's looking a lot
like I'm, uh--

Like I'm heading to prison
either way.

Fine.

I thought you wanted to actually
catch the person

Who murdered your friend,
but I guess you don't care.

No, that's not it at all.

I care, cass.
Well, of course I care.

Then why are you acting
like you've already given up?

Because you don't know dexter
like I do.

Trust me. He is not gonna
let anybody get in his way,

And I just don't want--

I don't want you
to become collateral damage.

This is not my first time
going up against someone

Who thinks they can get away
with murder.

Okay? I'm a cop.
I don't need you to protect me.

I don't need you
to protect me either.

[sighs]

Okay.

There has got to be someone
who will talk to us,

Who knew her
and who cares that she's dead.

[sighs]

Wait a minute.

I forgot.

Forgot what?

Marley.

Who's marley?

Detective inspector marley.

He was minerva's godfather.

If anyone's got
a reason to help us,

It's gotta be him.

[people chattering]

[indistinct audio]

Pastor: Thank you all
for being here

In the presence
of our heavenly father

To celebrate the life
of minerva st. James.

She was taken from us
far too soon,

But her light that was the gift
to all who knew her

Can never be extinguished.

Let us pray.

You got a lot of nerve
showing your face here today.

Marley, she was my friend.

Is this
how you treat your friends?

I didn't kill her.

That's for the court to decide.

She won't find justice
in a courtroom.

You of all people should know--

- What are you implying?
- [winston clears throat]

Meet me at her bar
after the service.

Please.

[birds squawking]

Hold on.
I'll get the rest of the lights.

Hey.

You okay?

Yeah.

Just, uh--

It feels like she's still here,
you know.

[footsteps approaching]

Okay.

Here I am.

Make it quick.

I just buried my goddaughter.

I'd like to remember her
in private.

We understand.

And we wanna help you
by finding who's responsible.

Who are you exactly?

Cassady cruz. Detroit pd.

You're a long way out
of your jurisdiction, miss cruz.

And what makes you think

We haven't already found
the murderer?

Hey. I already told you
I-I-I didn't do it.

Marley, I loved her.
You know that.

What I know is
she was killed with your knife.

Obviously, whoever did it, they
took the knife from my boat.

Convenient.

We think ian dexter
might be involved.

That's ridiculous.

Ian's no killer.

And we've been friends
for years.

Or you've just been
part of the same racket.

Getting paid off
by the same people.

I don't have to take that
from some tourist.

- I'm not just a tourist.
- If you don't live here,

It's none of your damn business.

I understand.
You don't wanna do anything

That might jeopardize your
little financial arrangement.

Travis: Okay. Hey.

- Cool it.
- Take your hands off me.

Winston: Marley!

Hey. Cass, will you calm down.

Don't tell me to calm down.

If we don't do something,
you're going to go to jail

And someone's going
to get away with murder.

Cass, you're just
not understanding it.

There may not be anything
that we can do.

Oh, so you're just gonna sit
tight in your little bungalow

Until they come to lock you up.

I didn't say that.
I just think--

[sighs]

Hey! Hey, where are you going?

I have my own cases to work.

- Oh. Now who's giving up?
- Hey. I tried.

You just don't care enough
for it to be worth my while.

Oh, yeah? What about us?

Look, I...

Thought we had something.

I don't believe you.

This is about your life,
not some--

Some what? Some what?

Some meaningless vacation fling.

I thought you said
you weren't on a vacation.

We haven't even gotten
to the fling part yet.

[groans]

This is a real shame.

Unfortunately,

Hotel break-ins do happen.

Are you really gonna stand there
and tell me

That this was just
a random burglary?

Well, I don't know what else
you want me to say?

Well, you could tell me
why a burglar

Would leave
a message like that?

Well, there are people
in st. Luke--

A small minority, of course--

Who disapprove of...Foreigners

Coming down here
acting like they own the place,

Especially americans.

- Is that right?
- Yes, that is right.

Lynch: Chief inspector.

Excuse me.

We checked the security cameras.

Nothing.

What about the staff?

No one saw or heard anything.

Pity.

I'm sorry, miss cruz. I'm afraid
that's about all we can do.

Uh, by the way,
was your passport stolen?

Strangely enough, it wasn't.

Oh. Then things
could have been worse.

There's nothing stopping you
from getting on a plane

And going home.

Oh, I'm not going anywhere.

You think that's wise?

Like you said,
this may not be random.

There could be someone
targeting you.

You know, a few hours ago,
I was about ready to cash out.

- Hmm.
- Now I think I'll stick around,

See what kind of trouble
I can get into.

Be careful what you wish for.

You have a nice day, miss cruz.

♪♪

So sorry.

Whoa. Hey, hey.
Where are you going?

Those guys thrashed my room.

- What?
- Yeah.

I'll see you later.

Well, well. Look who's here.

Oh, your friend seems
pretty mad, travis.

Get some bad news?
Maybe lose some luggage?

Okay. Hey, hey, hey.

Let's, uh--
just calm down, okay?

Let me handle this.

That's handling it?

Yeah, we should run.

[cassady groans]

You're dead, king.

This way.

- Sorry. Sorry.
- Sorry. So sorry.

Move! Get out of the way!

[cassady panting]

This way. This way. Come on.

Shh.

Punching him was not helpful.

Satisfying but not helpful.

Oh, like you weren't about
to do the same thing.

Cassady: Okay, we both have
poor impulse control.

What were you doing anyway?

Were you waiting outside
my hotel that whole time?

No, no. I was looking for dex.

He's hiding something. We have
to find out what that is.

Right.

[sighs]

Whew!

Hey, um, look, I--I get it,
you know.

This is not your fight.

And, uh, I appreciate
everything you've done for me,

But...I'll take it
from here, okay?

Oh, wait a minute.

Him and that detroit cop.

I wanted to hear it

Well, you're hearing it
from me.

You know I would never do
anything to harm minnie,

You know that.

And besides, what possible
reason would I have?

She dumped you.

Not the other way around.

It's been almost seven years.

It's water under the bridge.

She told me
she should never

Have been with you
in the first place.

That you weren't fit
to wear the badge.

Well, that's ironic
coming from someone

Who's been on the take longer
than I've been on the force.

I'm not talking about
the bribes.

She's known about that
for years

And it's why we weren't
exactly on good terms.

But I never lied to her.

Oh, well, that's something
we have in common.

I am not lying to you.

I had to ask.
You understand.

Of course.

Marley...

Don't forget we work
for the same bosses.

They don't like people...

Yeah. And, uh...

We'd like to keep it that way.

Okay.

I need to know
what's going on.

You know what's happening.

You just don't believe it.

Your friend,
chief inspector,

Tried to kill us.

[sighs]

Yeah, he had the pieces of
the wreckage that were found

Confiscated before I could
get a good look at them, but,

I could tell they'd been burned.

- Oh.
- Like there was an explosion.

Oh, like there was
an explosion.

That's funny, 'cause yeah,
there was an explosion,

'cause he blew up my boat
using c4, okay?

With some kind of
remote trigger thing.

So it's true.

He killed minerva.

You believe us now?

It doesn't matter
what I believe.

Dexter's running
the investigation.

He's calling the shots.

We can't go through
normal channels.

What about
the old money families

- You say run the island?
- What about them?

I mean, if they're anything
like the politicians

We have in the states,
then

They hate anything
that rocks the boat

- Or threatens the status quo.
- You're right about that.

Hmm.

I mean...

He did just try to kill
two american citizens,

- Didn't he, now?
- One of them a cop.

If that's not rocking the boat,
what is?

We prove he behind
all this bacchanal?

They take him down for us.

If that's how things
are done around here,

I guess we play along
or get out of the game, right?

That's right.

Okay, so we can't prove
that he tried to blow us up.

What can we prove?

There might be something.

Earlier today,
I caught dexter

Reading a letter
in his office.

He told me it was a bill,
but he was lying.

It was from a company called
island shore investment group.

"there's less to fight about
down here.

That's why we treasure
every square inch."

Winston:
What you mean by that?

It's something minerva
said to me.

What if this
is about real estate?

- The bar.
- Yeah.

Them people always come around

Trying to buy it
out from under her.

Where is this letter now?

Marley:
In his filing cabinet.

Can you get to it?

Maybe.

But I'd need a distraction.

Leave that to us.

It's sean.

Yeah, I followed marley
like you said.

You're not gonna believe
who he just met up with.

It's travis and that lady cop.

They're still alive.

- Hey, brother.
- Hey.

Are these the reports
we were talking about?

- Yes, sir.
- Lead me through it, would you?

- Just the bullet points.
- Of course.

[continues indistinctly]

- Right.
- Especially a search warrant.

We do have a problem
with that.

Okay.

- Marley: Right now?
- Man: Yes, sir.

-Thank you. Appreciate it.
- Of course.

...If you just take a look
into this,

And also can assign...

Hey, would you, um,
do me a favor?

Show this to johnson.

- Okay.
- Yeah? All right.

Thanks.

- Officer johnson?
- Shit...

Officer johnson?

The report of the robbery
last week.

Is it complete yet?

Yes sir, it's on my desk.

- If you care to follow me?
- Thank you.

[reading under breath]

I've got the letter.
Cassady was right.

They wanted the property
minerva's bar was built on

To build a condo development.

Looks like dexter
convinced them

That he could talk her
into selling it

In exchange for
a hefty finder's fee.

That's why they were arguing.

She wouldn't sell,
so he killed her

To protect his nest egg.

That sounds about right.

Travis:
How soon can you get it here?

Give me 15 minutes.

Detective inspector.

What is it, lynch?

- I'm busy.
- Apologies.

But I need you
to come with me.

That's far enough.

Where's my money?

You have me at
a disadvantage, friend.

That's the point.

And I'm not your little friend.

No, you're not.

But we do know each other,
don't we?

My money,
or I take this evidence

To the real people
that does run the island.

And then you can be
friends with the sharks.

If you're trying to get me
to confess to something,

You're wasting your time!

I know you killed minerva.

- I saw you.
- Did you?

Oh, I'd love to know
how you managed that.

I also know you plant a bomb
on travis boat.

Tell me I'm wrong.

You know, you've been out
in the sun

A little too long...
Winston.

- That's not my name.
- Sure it is.

Why don't you take off
the mask

And let's discuss this
like men.

Fine. If you don't want
to cooperate, then...

- [gun cocks]
- take off the mask.

Or I pull the trigger.

[sighs]

That's better, isn't it?

All right, tell your friends
to come out.

And don't try denying it.

I know they're still alive.

Travis!

Can you hear me?

No?

Okay.

Both of you come out now

Or I finish him.

That would be very stupid,
chief inspector.

Detective cruz.

You know, you seem
remarkably confident

For someone with no weapon
and no leverage.

Leverage?

Marley found your letter.

Island shores investment group?
Sound familiar?

Drop the charges against travis,

And let us all walk out of here

Or we show that letter
to the folks

That paid for
that nice car behind you.

I don't think they'd be very
happy to learn

That you killed minerva
and tried to kill two americans

Over a private real estate deal

That they were being
cut out of.

[cell phone rings]

Constable lynch.

What do you have for me?

- I've got marley.
- Excellent.

Keep him on ice.
I'll be there shortly.

Now you were saying
something about a letter?

Going somewhere?

Does this mean

- What I think it means?
- Yes.

Dexter killed her so these
island shore people

Could acquire her bar
from the estate sale.

When travis and cassady
got in the way,

He blew up their boat.

Lucky for us,
it didn't work.

"us"?

Look...

Your family pays me
to protect their interests.

So, I'm telling you,

If you don't do something
about dexter fast,

He's gonna draw
the kind of attention

They don't want.

[sighs]

Where did you say
this meet was taking place?

Winston,

Is he okay?

I don't know.

You know, sean, your friend
seems a little nervous.

He's fine.

Just get us
what you promised us.

Oh, you'll get
what I promised, and more.

What he means
is he'll kill you both

The moment you're no longer
useful to him.

He can't let you live, sean.

If the old money families
find out any of this, he's done.

All right, we've heard about
enough out of you, detective.

How could you do it, dex?

[scoffs] you loved her.

[scoffs] I know you did.
Same as me.

She was stubborn.

Naive. She brought this
on herself.

No, she only
put up with him

Because
she knew the danger

Of alienating someone
with his power and connections.

I know how it works.
I see it every day.

Yeah, you won't see anything
for much longer, detective.

Take 'em out
past widow's reef,

Put a little chum
in the water,

Let the sharks take care of
the bodies for us.

What, you're not coming?

I have to take care of
a complication

By the name of di marley.

But there's three of them.

So kill them here
if it makes it easier on you.

Sean: What, me?

You said you'd do it.

Do you want your money or not?

He's using you, sean.

Don't let him make you
his scapegoat.

- I want the money up front.
- That's not gonna happen.

Then they're
not going anywhere,

And neither am I.

All right.

[sighs] if you insist.

[gunshots]

Let him go.

Let him go!

On your knees.

Now.

You have quick reflexes.

Not so bad yourself.

What the hell did I miss?

[both chuckle]

[both sigh]

It's okay.

Marley told me everything.

[sighs] good.

You can deal with this.

My pleasure.

This way.

Oh, and, uh, lynch,

There's still the...
[chuckles]

The matter of my--
my murder charge.

Since we know who
the real killer is,

I think we can
consider it dropped.

[sighs]

- Thank you.
- Forget it.

My family appreciates

On our friend here.

Cassady: I just have
one request.

- What's that?
