In the Dark (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 1 - Episode #2.1 - full transcript
Last season on In the Dark...
I'm Murphy.
Tyson.
Tyson, you here?
Oh, my God.
Help!
Somebody help!
I have to close Guiding Hope.
I inherited so much debt, and I
just couldn't crawl out of it.
How much debt?
Oh, $75,000.
I think I know where
we can get some money.
Do you remember when Max took
Murphy to that lake house?
She told me that he
hid $100,000 there.
I'm not taking
a drug dealer's money.
JESS and FELIX:
Whoa.
I wish I didn't love you.
But I do
And I have since I was 14
I'm wondering if this dirty cop
might be covering
for himself.
I'm gonna handle it.
Yeah.
You always do.
It's my partner.
She's got enough on you
to put you away
for a very long time
MURPHY:
I know what you did
I know
you killed Tyson.
We were never supposed
to cross paths.
I knew he was one of
Nia's guys
And after that, he knew
that I was one, too
(whispers):
Stop recording.
By the way, your confession
that I recorded--
saved it to
the cloud, so...
you're done.
NIA:
Look like your work friends
stole my money.
Oh, I don't want you
to pay it back.
You want us to
launder money for you?
NIA:
You keep your company,
I keep mine
I'll see you soon, Murphy.
What does this open?
What does this do?
Oh, my God.
-
I like your sweater.
Oh, really? Thanks.
It's, uh, it's old.
It's Chico's. (chuckles)
Well, it looks
good on you.
Oh, that's nice of you to say.
Have a good night.
You, too.
JOY:
Oh, boy.
I think a woman just hit on me.
What?
Yeah, it happens a lot.
I must have a look or something.
Oh.
How are we feeling?
I'm... fine.
Yeah?
I'm good.
Okay. Well, I got you
lots of goodies.
We've got lo mein
at three o'clock.
Okay.
We've got mac and cheese
at six o'clock,
and fruit salad...
Thanks, Mom.
I think you should go, though,
'cause it's late, Mom,
and I just kind of
want to get some rest.
I'm not going anywhere
until you eat.
Okay.
Come on.
I'll just eat
something. Yep.
That's really good.
I'm fine, Mom.
I'm good.
I'm getting discharged
in the morning,
and Jess said she's gonna
pick me up, so I'm all good.
You sure?
You know, I'm just gonna
sleep right here.
No. No-no.
I think...
You snore.
Really loud.
Thank you.
I'm really-- I'm okay.
I promise, I'm good.
Okay.
Mm-hmm.
Please tell me you're done
with all this crime stuff.
No, I actually decided
I'm gonna become a detective.
I'm gonna put a little
Sherlock Holmes hat on Pretzel
and we're gonna solve murders.
That's very funny.
Yeah.
All right.
Okay.
I love you
with my whole heart.
Thanks, Mom.
All right.
So you eat?
I'm so hungry. Uh-huh.
You call me,
you need anything.
Okay.
Clean plate club.
Clean plate club.
-
I can't believe I had sex
with an actual murderer.
Like, someone who killed
another human being
was all up in my stuff.
I can't even imagine
what you're going through.
I mean, nobody can.
I think Murphy can.
Oh, yeah, no, I know.
But I mean, I am just constantly
in awe of the strength of women
and what you're
capable of overcoming.
I just feel like
I want to vomit, you know?
Yes.
Yes.
Like, how bad is my taste?
What is wrong with me?
Hey.
Don't victim
blame. Okay?
Hey, Chelsea?
Can I get some wings?
Um, they're in the back.
I know.
Okay.
Ow! What?
"I'm constantly in awe
of the strength of women."
Yeah. I am.
That is a true statement,
actually.
Oh, my God.
Jess? Please tell me
you're in here.
Murphy? What the hell?
What-what are you doing
out of the hospital?
I left.
You left?
Wh-Why didn't you call me?
I would have come
and picked you up.
Because I had to give
my phone to the cops.
It-it doesn't-- it
doesn't even matter,
I just need to
talk to you.
Okay, let me ditch Felix.
Hey.
No, I actually need
to talk to him, too.
(exhales) It's about your guys'
little trip to the lake house.
Whoa-whoa-whoa, wait, hold on.
She wants us to launder money?
You stole $100,000 from her.
What did you think
was gonna happen?
Obviously not this.
What were you guys
thinking?
It was Jess's idea.
Wow, Felix. Wow.
What? It was.
Look me in the eye and tell me
it wasn't your idea.
It was your idea.
Yeah, only because
you were so depressed
because Guiding Hope
was closing.
Oh, you were depressed, too.
Don't try to act all cool
in front of Murphy,
like you don't care about
Guiding Hope...
Just stop. Stop!
We just need to figure out a way
to get out of this. Okay?
Nia said
unless we pay her back...
So we're just gonna
pay her back. Okay?
And she also gave me this key,
but I don't--
I don't even-- I don't know
what it opens, so can someone
please figure it out?
Here, let me see it.
Okay. Uh, well,
it's a locker key.
It says "C-G-S."
C-G-S?
FELIX:
Capital Grove Station.
I memorized the Chicago
public transit system
when I was seven
and wanted to run away.
MURPHY:
Okay, cool.
Let's just get the money,
put it back-- no harm, no foul.
Well, one tiny foul is it's in
my safety deposit box right now.
Then let's go get it.
FELIX: 'Kay,
banks are kind of closed
at 1:00 in the morning.
JESS: Yeah, we'll go
first thing tomorrow.
You know, guys, are we sure
that this is the best idea?
I don't know, Felix.
Do you have a better one?
Well...
I mean, if we
give the money back,
then Guiding Hope closes.
Who cares?
I do! And Jess
does, even though
she doesn't want to admit it
in front of you.
Okay.
You actually want to do this?
I'm just saying I think we
should at least consider it.
I mean, this Nia person
seems very invested
in our company...
JESS: What?
No!
Are you insane?
We can't even talk about it?
I'm just saying, let's weigh
the pros and cons.
Okay. Con:
do you have any idea
what happens to people
who launder money?
Uh, yeah, they end up like Max.
No, way worse.
You guys, I've seen Ozark
It's, like, really bad.
The show?
No!
What happens to people
who launder money!
You guys, I'm serious,
we could die!
Fair.
Now let's
weigh the pros.
Pro: Guiding Hope
stays open,
proving it wasn't
a totally idiotic investment,
as I've been told
repeatedly that it is...
This is about
your mother.
You would rather launder money
than admit to her
that you failed.
That is correct.
Well, there's three of us,
so why don't we just vote?
Great.
Great. Okay.
All in favor of returning
the money, raise your hand.
Me.
Oof. Tough
break, Murphy,
it looks like you're the only
one with your hand up, so...
Felix.
I know that's a lie.
You're an idiot.
I'm going to bed.
Stupid Felix
is cheating.
(sighs)
This is unfair, guys.
Ugh. This nicotine gum
tastes like ass.
(sniffs)
You want to try some?
(chuckling):
I'm good.
Ugh.
(chuckles)
Okay, there you go.
Thanks.
Of course.
I, I don't know if I'm supposed
to keep asking if you're okay.
I'm fine.
Yeah,
I'm honestly fine.
Dean is gonna rot in prison
for the rest of his life
for killing Tyson.
So, I finally got justice.
I feel like I can
actually breathe
for the first time
in months.
Yeah, wh-- Um...
what about,
what about Chloe?
Does she know?
I mean, I don't think
he can talk to anyone
until he's out of
police custody, so...
Right.
Well, maybe you
should go see her.
No. (scoffs)
Well...
No, I'm the last person
she should be around right now.
I just want to move on.
Yeah.
It's been a lot.
Hey.
What is going on?
You're-you're not asking me
any questions,
you haven't offered me
a lawyer.
I want my phone call.
If-- if you have me
in cuffs,
you have to give me
a phone call.
I know my rights.
Come on.
I have a kid.
She should at least know
that I'm not coming home.
Could I have a little privacy?
Nia?
It's me.
I need your help.
Oh, you want my help?
That's cute.
I don't understand.
You killed Tyson,
who was one of my own,
and you lied to me about it.
This relationship
was based on trust.
So we don't have
a relationship anymore.
Don't call me again.
DEAN: Wait! Wait.
I'm sorry. I panicked.
You know that
I am all that Chloe has.
And the thought of her losing
both of her parents?
I did what any father would do.
Mm-mm. Don't try me.
I'm not the one.
You good?
Yeah.
We lost our guy
on the inside.
How much does he know?
Do I need to...?
Nothing, it's just
the drop point.
It's not worth it.
Besides, if something happens to
him, they're gonna come sniffing
around here and we got to be
really careful right now.
What?
I don't think that dog place
is a good front.
Huh. You got another option?
'Cause it's not like I can just
walk up on the street
and ask somebody
to clean my money.
Besides, Josiah and his crew
took everything south of 63rd
while I was locked up, so we
got to improvise a little.
It's just...
without a cop
in our pocket,
we got no way to know
if these kids flip or not.
I don't think they're
that stupid.
And if they are,
you'll handle it.
Hand me my lid.
Phase one complete.
Jessica, activate
phase two.
You mean pull up directions
to the station on my phone?
Yes. Phase two, please.
JESS: What-what,
wh-what are you doing?
FELIX: What do you mean?
I'm making a right.
No, you weren't
supposed to turn there.
Then why did you say "turn"?
I didn't. I said
you were about to turn
and then you just turned.
Why wouldn't I turn
when you say "turn"?
Felix, I said
about to turn.
Nailing phase two, guys.
Okay, well, you need
to make a U-ey.
A U-ey? Flip a U-ey?
Yeah.
It's a one-way street, Jess!
Okay, well, then I don't know.
Just give me the phone.
I'll navigate
and drive.
I can do it.
Okay?
(tires screech)
What was that?
Oh, my God.
Stay here.
Well, I'm the doctor.
He's not a Chihuahua.
Just stay here, watch the bag.
So sorry.
Here's your bicycle.
Are you okay?
I am so sorry, man.
No. I'm not okay.
You hit me with your car.
Yeah, I know. I'm-I'm sorry.
W-What hurts exactly?
Everything. I...
It's all broken, all my bones.
Your bones?
Yeah.
All your bones?
Yeah.
I don't... don't-don't think
that's possible.
Well, I'm bleeding, okay?
All over.
Okay.
I see the knee. Yeah.
My insides.
Oh, my brain probably.
You're wearing a helmet, so...
It's not good, okay?
It's really bad.
You should figure this out.
We can take care of this
privately or...
I'm happy to
call the cops.
So, uh...
How is he?
He's fine. Meryl Streep
over there is faking it.
He's threatening to call
the cops unless we make a deal.
That's extortion; we should be
the ones calling the cops.
I would love to
call the cops,
but I don't think we can
call the cops because
there's $100,000 of drug money
in my backpack.
So I think what we should do
is just give him a couple grand,
make this all go away.
MURPHY:
No, Felix,
we have to give Nia back
all of the money.
So, no. We'll just--
we'll have the guy
frickin' sue your car insurance
or whatever.
Yeah.
I don't technically have
car insurance right now.
Oh, perfect. (sighs)
Because Guiding Hope
is bleeding money and I had to
cut corners wherever I could.
Oh, my God.
And usually
I'm a super safe driver,
especially if given
a competent navigator.
Fine, fine, fine.
Just give him $2,000.
I will take it out
of my savings account.
Wait, you have
a savings account?
Yeah.
Where do you even
get that money?
My paycheck.
I put ten percent of it
in my savings account
every month.
That's smart.
Thank you.
Okay.
(faintly):
$2,000 cash.
Make this all go away.
JESS: Oh, come on,
Felix, hurry up.
What is taking him so long?
He's Felix.
(phone chimes)
It's Chloe.
Why is she texting you?
Um, she said she doesn't think
you guys have reception
'cause she can't get ahold
of you or her dad.
And, um, she's asking me what
time I think you're coming home
from your trip.
So she doesn't know yet.
Definitely not.
She just texted me again
asking if I think you guys
are having the best time ever.
Uh, yeah.
Tell her, uh,
the highlight was when
her dad kidnapped me
and punched me in the face.
Right, okay, well,
I can't write that.
Just don't respond.
Murphy...
I'm trying to forget about Dean
and unfortunately that...
that includes Chloe, too,
so just don't respond, please.
So... he drives a hard bargain.
How hard?
Ten grand.
Uh-- Are you serious?
MURPHY:
Felix, are you, like,
the worst negotiator ever?
First of all,
he wanted 12, so no.
Second of all,
I already agreed to it.
Wh-- Uh-- You-you agreed to it?
Felix, I don't have $10,000.
Yes, you do, because you said
you deposit ten percent
of your paycheck and I know
how much you make.
And you've been working at
Guiding Hope for three years,
so that's 11 grand, right?
Okay, fine. Cool it, Rain Man.
So, how is your day going
so far?
Oh, fantastic.
There you go.
$10,000. Would you like
your remaining balance?
No, thank you.
-
All right.
Give me the note.
Is it done?
Relax.
I've had this backpack
since middle school.
Just do it.
-
Well, that's that.
We'll have a staff meeting
tomorrow
where I'll break the news
we're closing.
Are you okay?
I mean, no, but it's fine.
I'm just... I'm really gonna
miss this place.
We know it's about your mom.
Who am I kidding? Nothing I do
will ever make her proud of me.
I've been a failure in her eyes
ever since I couldn't latch.
I don't want to think about you
breastfeeding.
No, I said I couldn't
breastfeed.
What are we
gonna do now?
I'm gonna have to be a lawyer.
(scoffs)
Oh, poor baby.
Do you have any idea how hard
it is to find a vet job?
Good thing I have ten grand
in the bank-- Oh, wait.
At least you guys
have prospects.
Whatever.
You can go on disability.
It's free money-- you don't
even have to do anything.
Thank you, Felix.
Did it ever occur to you
that maybe I enjoy working?
No. That has never
occurred to me.
This is to keep this place open.
Nia isn't taking the money back.
And toss that key.
Don't go near that locker
ever again.
We can't trust that cop friend
of yours anymore.
Look, whoever you are,
please tell Nia that
we cannot launder...
(gun cocks)
Do you want to finish
that sentence?
Maybe this is a sign.
No,
this isn't a sign.
Murphy had a gun
to her head.
So we should probably do
what Nia says.
No, we're not gonna
do what she says.
For the first time ever,
I feel like my life
is actually worth something.
And I'm not gonna let Nia,
or anyone,
take that away from me.
Okay, we tried to pay her back.
If she doesn't want to accept
the money, that's her problem.
Okay. So what do you
suggest we do?
We're gonna turn her in
to the police.
'Cause, you know what,
she belongs in jail
right next to Dean.
Technically,
there are separate prisons
for males and females, but...
Murphy, you're right.
Thank you.
Let's go to the cops.
The cops? Seriously?
That's how we're gonna
get killed.
No,
she would never do that.
If we tell the police
what happened
and we all show up dead,
everything points back to her.
She's not an idiot.
I didn't want to bring up Dean,
but given everything he did
as a cop,
why would we trust cops?
Because they're not all
like him.
Let's go.
Here's your coat.
Oh, thank you.
Okay, find outside.
Felix? Seriously?
This might be the last time
I get to answer the phone
of my own company.
Let me have this.
Guiding Hope,
how can I help you?
JOY:
Felix, get Murphy on the phone.
Oh, hey, Joy, uh...
it's not really
a good time...
Just put her on.
Okay, I will. Hold on.
Murphy, it's your mom.
She's pissed.
Give me the phone.
Hello.
You left the hospital
with an IV in your arm?
Yeah, Mom.
It-It's fine.
It was a very small needle
and Jess already cleaned it.
That's not the point.
I just got a call
saying they can't bill insurance
because you left
in the middle of treatment!
Is that a real thing?
Apparently.
I only left, like,
12 hours early.
Yeah, well, that 12 hours
is about to cost us $50,000
unless you get your butt
to the hospital this instant.
Can I go a little later?
Oh, did I interrupt
your busy day of doing nothing?
The doctor leaves
in half an hour.
Get there right now!
Okay, Mom. Bye. Fine.
This is so stupid.
Apparently, you can't just
leave the hospital
whenever you want.
Yeah. We heard,
she was screaming.
Okay, well, now we have
to stop by the hospital
on the way to the station.
(grunts)
No, Murphy,
you just go.
Felix and I will
take care of the cops.
Mm.
No, I'm gonna go with you guys.
You had a gun to your head
today because of us.
I'm not gonna wait
another hour. Felix?
Yeah. Great.
Thank you.
Okay.
Come on, Pretzel.
I'm gonna call you an Uber and
I will see you at home. Here.
Hey. Come here.
Make sure they protect
you guys, okay?
Okay.
Be careful.
I will.
I love you.
Hey, how's he doing?
Alert. Good. I think
a little freaked out.
I haven't taken
his statement yet.
Thought you'd want
to handle that yourself.
But you did take
the woman's, right?
Yeah, she's says she's got
a recording of him confessing
to the murder of her friend,
Tyson Parker.
Here's her phone
and her cloud login.
Thanks.
She gave consent to access it.
I'll take it from here.
You got it, Chief.
Where is it?
(muttering):
Where is my phone?
I need to talk to the police.
PARAMEDIC:
You're gonna be fine.
(indistinct radio chatter)
I need...
I need to talk to the police.
Who's smoking?
Who's-who's smoking?
Can I bum one?
Sure.
Can I get a light, too?
(lighter clicks)
Thank you.
It's just one, Pretzel. Shut up.
I just heard
the recording.
What were you
thinking?
Look, that-that was taken
way out of context.
You know me. You...
You know I'm not capable
of something like this.
I've worked for the city
for 20 years.
I've put my life on the line.
That's your job.
Look, it was self-defense.
I don't care what it was.
Do you know the media circus
that's gonna hit
when this gets out?
And I'm gonna be the one
in front of those cameras.
I'm sorry.
This all happened on my watch,
and there is no way that Simmons
doesn't shank me
to try to save face.
Is the recording the only piece
of evidence? Don't lie to me.
That's it. There's nothing else.
Great. This case
won't even make it to trial,
which, optically, is even worse.
What do you mean?
I'm guessing you didn't consent
to being recorded?
In Illinois, you have to consent
for anything to be admissible.
So the whole country
is just gonna watch you
get away with it.
I'm finished.
So the recording
isn't admissible?
Then what's the point of putting
any of this out there?
Riley, come on,
you want me to bury this?
You got to be kidding me.
No, no.
I...
Look, I feel terrible.
I want a chance
to make this right.
How can you possibly
make this right?
By stopping
Nia Bailey.
She's the real person
responsible
for the death of Tyson Parker.
That kid didn't
stand a chance.
She had him dealing drugs
for her when he was 15.
We stop her,
we stop thousands of kids
who are gonna end up
just like Tyson. That is
what this department needs.
We've arrested Nia before,
the charges never stick.
I am one of the few people
that Nia trusted.
I have information on her
that no one else we work with
would ever be able to get.
And, Chief,
she's gonna keep doing this.
She will continue
flipping good cops and-and
outsmarting us at every turn.
Meanwhile, she's got
teenagers selling heroin
to other teenagers.
Nia Bailey needs to be stopped.
And I promise you,
if you let me come back to work,
I will deliver her.
Wipe the girl's phone.
As far as I'm concerned, nothing
was on there when I got here.
Thank you.
Just get me Nia Bailey.
Hey, we need to drop the charges
on Darnell James.
He's got a solid alibi.
Yeah, we messed up.
I know. Sorry about this.
Deep breath.
Good. Again.
Very good. Again.
Good. Again.
I think you got it.
One more time,
please.
Very good. Okay,
everything looks great.
Now you can go.
Check out out front.
Thanks. This was all
very necessary.
Thanks.
Do you know if Dean Riley
is out of questioning yet?
Sorry?
Uh, he's a, he's a patient
here and he was arrested,
so they weren't gonna let
anyone talk to him
until he was out
of questioning.
I can check.
Dean Riley?
Yeah.
Uh, you said
he was arrested?
Yeah.
I don't see that here.
He's being treated
as a normal patient.
What?
Hey.
Get out of my room
or I'm calling security.
Where did the cops go? You're
supposed to be in custody.
That was
a misunderstanding.
A misunderstanding?
This is impossible. I need,
I need to speak to someone.
Maybe I should
speak with someone.
You assaulted me,
and then you tried to kill me,
and then you lied
to the police about it.
That's what you said?
You said that I lied?
You lied to me
every single day
since the day I met you,
every single day,
and you continue to lie.
You tricked me into believing
that you cared about me.
And you killed my best friend.
Get the hell
out of my room.
No. Why are you not
in custody?
Why are you not in custody?
I don't need to explain
myself to you.
I've cleared it up
with the chief already.
(scoffs) You actually think
you're gonna get away with this?
Murphy, there's nothing to get
away with. I didn't do anything.
I have you on tape.
It was in the cloud.
I got it off my phone.
Hm. Where's your phone now?
I gave it to the cops.
Right.
Well, that would be me.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
I...
Find outside, Pretzel.
Go.
What is taking so long?
Hmm, I don't know. Maybe
they have actual emergencies.
I said this was an emergency.
I'm gonna go see
what's going on.
Hi. Um, I'm just checking in.
Is there another route?
No, ma'am.
All right, can you,
can you, uh, hurry?
What do you
want me to do?
How far away are we?
Three blocks.
Okay, I'm just,
I'm just gonna walk.
That's too much.
Yeah, well, keep it.
Sorry, sir. Sorry.
Hey, guys.
I can take you back now.
Great. Okay. Thank you.
No problem.
All right.
Okay.
What's so important?
What's this?
Okay, uh, so,
the other day, we, um...
MURPHY:
Hi.
Uh... Murphy...
Sorry I'm late.
...what are you, Murphy,
what are you doing here?
I'm here for
the big meeting.
So what's been said?
What did I miss?
GENE: Nothing yet,
just a mysterious bag
sitting in front of me.
Uh, is it-- Does anybody want to
tell me what's-what's going on?
I'm gonna-- I'm gonna tell you
what's going on.
Officer...
I didn't catch your name.
Gene. Uh, Clemens.
It's Officer Clemens.
Well, we recently
caught someone...
...littering all over Chicago.
It was very upsetting,
it was very reckless.
Bottles and cans, gum--
all over the city.
So, you're all here
because of litter?
Yes.
Yep.
Because littering is the
number one problem in our city.
That's not true.
Could be.
Look, guys, I-I appreciate
the honor and respect
you have for Mother Earth, okay?
But this isn't the type of thing
that we-we focus on.
Okay. Uh, we will just take
our backpack of trash
and put it in the trash
where it belongs.
There's garbage in that?
Yes.
Yep.
It was evidence, but...
I have a briefing
I have to get to.
I'm-I'm gonna walk you guys out.
Okay.
GENE:
Okay.
Nice meeting you. Pretzel.
What just happened?
We can't trust the cops.
Wh-Why?
Because they're
protecting Dean.
What? What do you mean?
Dean's back on the force!
I handed that cop
my statement.
I literally gave him a
recording where Dean admits
to murdering Tyson and
they still protected him.
So I don't know who
we can trust in there.
But you recorded him.
I know.
I don't even know
how he did this,
but he's literally getting away
with everything.
This is unbelievable.
I'm sorry, Murphy.
I...
I don't know what to say.
I think for now
we just need to...
we just have to do
what Nia says because...
we don't have a choice.
GUARD:
Darnell James.
You're free to go.
What?
They dropped the charges.
Your move.
You're really okay?
I'm fine.
I'm strong like bull.
When are you coming home?
I can't take
Grandma watching me.
(chuckles softly)
She boring you to tears?
Oh, my God.
All she does is talk about
all the different ways
she knows how to cook a potato.
Well, don't worry, I will be out
of here in a couple of days.
Good.
Where's Murphy?
I don't know.
I thought she'd be here.
Yeah. Um...
Sweetie, Murphy and I broke up.
What?
No...
What happened?
I don't know.
She just... ended it
out of nowhere.
Uh... maybe the idea of me
was better than the reality.
Hey,
it is what it is.
I'll get over it.
I told you,
I am strong like bull.
Come here.
Jules?
Baby, you home?
Man, I texted you,
no text back--
what's up with that?
(whispers):
No, no...
(crying):
No, baby. Baby, baby, wake up.
Wake up, baby.
No.
Well?
Wh-- The recording's
not on here.
Of course it's not.
(sighs)
He probably had his
cop friends delete it.
All I wanted was
justice for Tyson.
And I got it, I actually got it.
And now it's just gone.
It's like this
never even happened.
And Dean's just...
just living his life like he--
like he always has.
Yeah, Murphy,
why don't you come and sit?
I don't want to sit!
I want to kill him!
I was to destroy him!
I want him to be in misery every
moment of every day forever!
He has to live with the fact
that he killed a kid.
He doesn't care. He only cares
about himself and his own kid.
That's what I'll do.
Can you drive me to Dean's?
Why?
'Cause I'm gonna tell Chloe
that her dad's a murderer.
Murphy...
He can weasel his
way out of prison,
but he's gonna live the rest
of his life with his daughter
knowing what a monster he is,
because that's worse than jail.
Okay, hold on.
Can you drive me?
I can't.
And I-I understand
that you're angry,
but this is not the solution.
Stop, Jess!
No, you...
Drive me!
Stop!
I am not gonna help you
ruin Chloe's life.
I'm ruining Dean's.
(scoffs) Whatever.
I'll just get there myself.
Come on, Pretzel!
Come, now!
Okay, hey, Mur--
(exhales)
Murphy?
Hi. Uh, can I help you?
Is Chloe here?
CHLOE:
I know what this is about.
I highly doubt that.
(chuckles softly)
My dad told me
you guys broke up.
Did he happen
to mention why?
Not really.
He was pretty vague
about the whole thing.
Yeah, I bet.
Look, Chloe...
I get it.
You don't have to explain
what happened.
My dad's a dork.
I mean, I'm his best friend.
Yeah, but he's not, like,
your best friend, right?
Um, yeah.
I know that makes me sound
like a loser, but...
when I found out about the
accident you guys got into,
I thought it was going to be
like my mom all over again.
And I just...
I'm just really happy he's okay.
I don't know what I'd do
without him.
You're not happy I'm okay?
Jerk.
Shut up. Of course I am.
(chuckles)
We're still gonna be friends,
right?
Yeah.
Always.
Ugh. What kind
of gum is that?
Ugh.
Why?
Smells like ass. Ugh.
(chuckles)
Shut up!
(laughs)
Hey, uh, did you--
did you find anything?
Suicide, no foul play.
It wasn't a suicide.
I'm telling you, there-there's
got to be something here.
I'm sorry.
Take care, man.
JESS: What are
we gonna do?
We have no idea how
to launder money.
We'll figure it out.
It's not forever.
I outsmarted a murderer,
so I can outsmart Nia.
Yeah, something
tells me that
Nia's a little smarter
than Dean.
Oh, because she's a woman, Jess?
Yes.
Look, I'm gonna get
us out of this.
I'm not gonna let anything
happen to either of you.
Either of us? Aw.
MURPHY:
Shut up. I'm serious.
It's just temporary,
but in the meantime, we do need
to hire a new receptionist.
Why?
Because I'm not just gonna
sit at my desk
while you guys are forced
to do all the illegal stuff.
You just hate answering
the phones.
Is that what you really think?
Yes.
Fine, Murphy,
I won't talk
about Dean anymore.
Come back to the bar.
It's weird that
you're sitting here.
We-we just...
Can you just hang on
'cause we need to
figure out some
work stuff.
Work? Since when?
FELIX: We're
considering hiring
a new receptionist.
I actually own the company,
so I get final say,
as they know.
We're discussing that, so...
Okay, well, seriously,
can you hire my brother?
He just moved back here
and he's looking for work.
Send him in for an interview.
Tell him the big boss
is a big fan of his big sis.
(Felix chuckles)
Okay, well, hold on. Ben!
Come over here.
I want you to meet
some friends of mine.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe
you actually did that.
I'm Murphy.
Tyson.
Tyson, you here?
Oh, my God.
Help!
Somebody help!
I have to close Guiding Hope.
I inherited so much debt, and I
just couldn't crawl out of it.
How much debt?
Oh, $75,000.
I think I know where
we can get some money.
Do you remember when Max took
Murphy to that lake house?
She told me that he
hid $100,000 there.
I'm not taking
a drug dealer's money.
JESS and FELIX:
Whoa.
I wish I didn't love you.
But I do
And I have since I was 14
I'm wondering if this dirty cop
might be covering
for himself.
I'm gonna handle it.
Yeah.
You always do.
It's my partner.
She's got enough on you
to put you away
for a very long time
MURPHY:
I know what you did
I know
you killed Tyson.
We were never supposed
to cross paths.
I knew he was one of
Nia's guys
And after that, he knew
that I was one, too
(whispers):
Stop recording.
By the way, your confession
that I recorded--
saved it to
the cloud, so...
you're done.
NIA:
Look like your work friends
stole my money.
Oh, I don't want you
to pay it back.
You want us to
launder money for you?
NIA:
You keep your company,
I keep mine
I'll see you soon, Murphy.
What does this open?
What does this do?
Oh, my God.
-
I like your sweater.
Oh, really? Thanks.
It's, uh, it's old.
It's Chico's. (chuckles)
Well, it looks
good on you.
Oh, that's nice of you to say.
Have a good night.
You, too.
JOY:
Oh, boy.
I think a woman just hit on me.
What?
Yeah, it happens a lot.
I must have a look or something.
Oh.
How are we feeling?
I'm... fine.
Yeah?
I'm good.
Okay. Well, I got you
lots of goodies.
We've got lo mein
at three o'clock.
Okay.
We've got mac and cheese
at six o'clock,
and fruit salad...
Thanks, Mom.
I think you should go, though,
'cause it's late, Mom,
and I just kind of
want to get some rest.
I'm not going anywhere
until you eat.
Okay.
Come on.
I'll just eat
something. Yep.
That's really good.
I'm fine, Mom.
I'm good.
I'm getting discharged
in the morning,
and Jess said she's gonna
pick me up, so I'm all good.
You sure?
You know, I'm just gonna
sleep right here.
No. No-no.
I think...
You snore.
Really loud.
Thank you.
I'm really-- I'm okay.
I promise, I'm good.
Okay.
Mm-hmm.
Please tell me you're done
with all this crime stuff.
No, I actually decided
I'm gonna become a detective.
I'm gonna put a little
Sherlock Holmes hat on Pretzel
and we're gonna solve murders.
That's very funny.
Yeah.
All right.
Okay.
I love you
with my whole heart.
Thanks, Mom.
All right.
So you eat?
I'm so hungry. Uh-huh.
You call me,
you need anything.
Okay.
Clean plate club.
Clean plate club.
-
I can't believe I had sex
with an actual murderer.
Like, someone who killed
another human being
was all up in my stuff.
I can't even imagine
what you're going through.
I mean, nobody can.
I think Murphy can.
Oh, yeah, no, I know.
But I mean, I am just constantly
in awe of the strength of women
and what you're
capable of overcoming.
I just feel like
I want to vomit, you know?
Yes.
Yes.
Like, how bad is my taste?
What is wrong with me?
Hey.
Don't victim
blame. Okay?
Hey, Chelsea?
Can I get some wings?
Um, they're in the back.
I know.
Okay.
Ow! What?
"I'm constantly in awe
of the strength of women."
Yeah. I am.
That is a true statement,
actually.
Oh, my God.
Jess? Please tell me
you're in here.
Murphy? What the hell?
What-what are you doing
out of the hospital?
I left.
You left?
Wh-Why didn't you call me?
I would have come
and picked you up.
Because I had to give
my phone to the cops.
It-it doesn't-- it
doesn't even matter,
I just need to
talk to you.
Okay, let me ditch Felix.
Hey.
No, I actually need
to talk to him, too.
(exhales) It's about your guys'
little trip to the lake house.
Whoa-whoa-whoa, wait, hold on.
She wants us to launder money?
You stole $100,000 from her.
What did you think
was gonna happen?
Obviously not this.
What were you guys
thinking?
It was Jess's idea.
Wow, Felix. Wow.
What? It was.
Look me in the eye and tell me
it wasn't your idea.
It was your idea.
Yeah, only because
you were so depressed
because Guiding Hope
was closing.
Oh, you were depressed, too.
Don't try to act all cool
in front of Murphy,
like you don't care about
Guiding Hope...
Just stop. Stop!
We just need to figure out a way
to get out of this. Okay?
Nia said
unless we pay her back...
So we're just gonna
pay her back. Okay?
And she also gave me this key,
but I don't--
I don't even-- I don't know
what it opens, so can someone
please figure it out?
Here, let me see it.
Okay. Uh, well,
it's a locker key.
It says "C-G-S."
C-G-S?
FELIX:
Capital Grove Station.
I memorized the Chicago
public transit system
when I was seven
and wanted to run away.
MURPHY:
Okay, cool.
Let's just get the money,
put it back-- no harm, no foul.
Well, one tiny foul is it's in
my safety deposit box right now.
Then let's go get it.
FELIX: 'Kay,
banks are kind of closed
at 1:00 in the morning.
JESS: Yeah, we'll go
first thing tomorrow.
You know, guys, are we sure
that this is the best idea?
I don't know, Felix.
Do you have a better one?
Well...
I mean, if we
give the money back,
then Guiding Hope closes.
Who cares?
I do! And Jess
does, even though
she doesn't want to admit it
in front of you.
Okay.
You actually want to do this?
I'm just saying I think we
should at least consider it.
I mean, this Nia person
seems very invested
in our company...
JESS: What?
No!
Are you insane?
We can't even talk about it?
I'm just saying, let's weigh
the pros and cons.
Okay. Con:
do you have any idea
what happens to people
who launder money?
Uh, yeah, they end up like Max.
No, way worse.
You guys, I've seen Ozark
It's, like, really bad.
The show?
No!
What happens to people
who launder money!
You guys, I'm serious,
we could die!
Fair.
Now let's
weigh the pros.
Pro: Guiding Hope
stays open,
proving it wasn't
a totally idiotic investment,
as I've been told
repeatedly that it is...
This is about
your mother.
You would rather launder money
than admit to her
that you failed.
That is correct.
Well, there's three of us,
so why don't we just vote?
Great.
Great. Okay.
All in favor of returning
the money, raise your hand.
Me.
Oof. Tough
break, Murphy,
it looks like you're the only
one with your hand up, so...
Felix.
I know that's a lie.
You're an idiot.
I'm going to bed.
Stupid Felix
is cheating.
(sighs)
This is unfair, guys.
Ugh. This nicotine gum
tastes like ass.
(sniffs)
You want to try some?
(chuckling):
I'm good.
Ugh.
(chuckles)
Okay, there you go.
Thanks.
Of course.
I, I don't know if I'm supposed
to keep asking if you're okay.
I'm fine.
Yeah,
I'm honestly fine.
Dean is gonna rot in prison
for the rest of his life
for killing Tyson.
So, I finally got justice.
I feel like I can
actually breathe
for the first time
in months.
Yeah, wh-- Um...
what about,
what about Chloe?
Does she know?
I mean, I don't think
he can talk to anyone
until he's out of
police custody, so...
Right.
Well, maybe you
should go see her.
No. (scoffs)
Well...
No, I'm the last person
she should be around right now.
I just want to move on.
Yeah.
It's been a lot.
Hey.
What is going on?
You're-you're not asking me
any questions,
you haven't offered me
a lawyer.
I want my phone call.
If-- if you have me
in cuffs,
you have to give me
a phone call.
I know my rights.
Come on.
I have a kid.
She should at least know
that I'm not coming home.
Could I have a little privacy?
Nia?
It's me.
I need your help.
Oh, you want my help?
That's cute.
I don't understand.
You killed Tyson,
who was one of my own,
and you lied to me about it.
This relationship
was based on trust.
So we don't have
a relationship anymore.
Don't call me again.
DEAN: Wait! Wait.
I'm sorry. I panicked.
You know that
I am all that Chloe has.
And the thought of her losing
both of her parents?
I did what any father would do.
Mm-mm. Don't try me.
I'm not the one.
You good?
Yeah.
We lost our guy
on the inside.
How much does he know?
Do I need to...?
Nothing, it's just
the drop point.
It's not worth it.
Besides, if something happens to
him, they're gonna come sniffing
around here and we got to be
really careful right now.
What?
I don't think that dog place
is a good front.
Huh. You got another option?
'Cause it's not like I can just
walk up on the street
and ask somebody
to clean my money.
Besides, Josiah and his crew
took everything south of 63rd
while I was locked up, so we
got to improvise a little.
It's just...
without a cop
in our pocket,
we got no way to know
if these kids flip or not.
I don't think they're
that stupid.
And if they are,
you'll handle it.
Hand me my lid.
Phase one complete.
Jessica, activate
phase two.
You mean pull up directions
to the station on my phone?
Yes. Phase two, please.
JESS: What-what,
wh-what are you doing?
FELIX: What do you mean?
I'm making a right.
No, you weren't
supposed to turn there.
Then why did you say "turn"?
I didn't. I said
you were about to turn
and then you just turned.
Why wouldn't I turn
when you say "turn"?
Felix, I said
about to turn.
Nailing phase two, guys.
Okay, well, you need
to make a U-ey.
A U-ey? Flip a U-ey?
Yeah.
It's a one-way street, Jess!
Okay, well, then I don't know.
Just give me the phone.
I'll navigate
and drive.
I can do it.
Okay?
(tires screech)
What was that?
Oh, my God.
Stay here.
Well, I'm the doctor.
He's not a Chihuahua.
Just stay here, watch the bag.
So sorry.
Here's your bicycle.
Are you okay?
I am so sorry, man.
No. I'm not okay.
You hit me with your car.
Yeah, I know. I'm-I'm sorry.
W-What hurts exactly?
Everything. I...
It's all broken, all my bones.
Your bones?
Yeah.
All your bones?
Yeah.
I don't... don't-don't think
that's possible.
Well, I'm bleeding, okay?
All over.
Okay.
I see the knee. Yeah.
My insides.
Oh, my brain probably.
You're wearing a helmet, so...
It's not good, okay?
It's really bad.
You should figure this out.
We can take care of this
privately or...
I'm happy to
call the cops.
So, uh...
How is he?
He's fine. Meryl Streep
over there is faking it.
He's threatening to call
the cops unless we make a deal.
That's extortion; we should be
the ones calling the cops.
I would love to
call the cops,
but I don't think we can
call the cops because
there's $100,000 of drug money
in my backpack.
So I think what we should do
is just give him a couple grand,
make this all go away.
MURPHY:
No, Felix,
we have to give Nia back
all of the money.
So, no. We'll just--
we'll have the guy
frickin' sue your car insurance
or whatever.
Yeah.
I don't technically have
car insurance right now.
Oh, perfect. (sighs)
Because Guiding Hope
is bleeding money and I had to
cut corners wherever I could.
Oh, my God.
And usually
I'm a super safe driver,
especially if given
a competent navigator.
Fine, fine, fine.
Just give him $2,000.
I will take it out
of my savings account.
Wait, you have
a savings account?
Yeah.
Where do you even
get that money?
My paycheck.
I put ten percent of it
in my savings account
every month.
That's smart.
Thank you.
Okay.
(faintly):
$2,000 cash.
Make this all go away.
JESS: Oh, come on,
Felix, hurry up.
What is taking him so long?
He's Felix.
(phone chimes)
It's Chloe.
Why is she texting you?
Um, she said she doesn't think
you guys have reception
'cause she can't get ahold
of you or her dad.
And, um, she's asking me what
time I think you're coming home
from your trip.
So she doesn't know yet.
Definitely not.
She just texted me again
asking if I think you guys
are having the best time ever.
Uh, yeah.
Tell her, uh,
the highlight was when
her dad kidnapped me
and punched me in the face.
Right, okay, well,
I can't write that.
Just don't respond.
Murphy...
I'm trying to forget about Dean
and unfortunately that...
that includes Chloe, too,
so just don't respond, please.
So... he drives a hard bargain.
How hard?
Ten grand.
Uh-- Are you serious?
MURPHY:
Felix, are you, like,
the worst negotiator ever?
First of all,
he wanted 12, so no.
Second of all,
I already agreed to it.
Wh-- Uh-- You-you agreed to it?
Felix, I don't have $10,000.
Yes, you do, because you said
you deposit ten percent
of your paycheck and I know
how much you make.
And you've been working at
Guiding Hope for three years,
so that's 11 grand, right?
Okay, fine. Cool it, Rain Man.
So, how is your day going
so far?
Oh, fantastic.
There you go.
$10,000. Would you like
your remaining balance?
No, thank you.
-
All right.
Give me the note.
Is it done?
Relax.
I've had this backpack
since middle school.
Just do it.
-
Well, that's that.
We'll have a staff meeting
tomorrow
where I'll break the news
we're closing.
Are you okay?
I mean, no, but it's fine.
I'm just... I'm really gonna
miss this place.
We know it's about your mom.
Who am I kidding? Nothing I do
will ever make her proud of me.
I've been a failure in her eyes
ever since I couldn't latch.
I don't want to think about you
breastfeeding.
No, I said I couldn't
breastfeed.
What are we
gonna do now?
I'm gonna have to be a lawyer.
(scoffs)
Oh, poor baby.
Do you have any idea how hard
it is to find a vet job?
Good thing I have ten grand
in the bank-- Oh, wait.
At least you guys
have prospects.
Whatever.
You can go on disability.
It's free money-- you don't
even have to do anything.
Thank you, Felix.
Did it ever occur to you
that maybe I enjoy working?
No. That has never
occurred to me.
This is to keep this place open.
Nia isn't taking the money back.
And toss that key.
Don't go near that locker
ever again.
We can't trust that cop friend
of yours anymore.
Look, whoever you are,
please tell Nia that
we cannot launder...
(gun cocks)
Do you want to finish
that sentence?
Maybe this is a sign.
No,
this isn't a sign.
Murphy had a gun
to her head.
So we should probably do
what Nia says.
No, we're not gonna
do what she says.
For the first time ever,
I feel like my life
is actually worth something.
And I'm not gonna let Nia,
or anyone,
take that away from me.
Okay, we tried to pay her back.
If she doesn't want to accept
the money, that's her problem.
Okay. So what do you
suggest we do?
We're gonna turn her in
to the police.
'Cause, you know what,
she belongs in jail
right next to Dean.
Technically,
there are separate prisons
for males and females, but...
Murphy, you're right.
Thank you.
Let's go to the cops.
The cops? Seriously?
That's how we're gonna
get killed.
No,
she would never do that.
If we tell the police
what happened
and we all show up dead,
everything points back to her.
She's not an idiot.
I didn't want to bring up Dean,
but given everything he did
as a cop,
why would we trust cops?
Because they're not all
like him.
Let's go.
Here's your coat.
Oh, thank you.
Okay, find outside.
Felix? Seriously?
This might be the last time
I get to answer the phone
of my own company.
Let me have this.
Guiding Hope,
how can I help you?
JOY:
Felix, get Murphy on the phone.
Oh, hey, Joy, uh...
it's not really
a good time...
Just put her on.
Okay, I will. Hold on.
Murphy, it's your mom.
She's pissed.
Give me the phone.
Hello.
You left the hospital
with an IV in your arm?
Yeah, Mom.
It-It's fine.
It was a very small needle
and Jess already cleaned it.
That's not the point.
I just got a call
saying they can't bill insurance
because you left
in the middle of treatment!
Is that a real thing?
Apparently.
I only left, like,
12 hours early.
Yeah, well, that 12 hours
is about to cost us $50,000
unless you get your butt
to the hospital this instant.
Can I go a little later?
Oh, did I interrupt
your busy day of doing nothing?
The doctor leaves
in half an hour.
Get there right now!
Okay, Mom. Bye. Fine.
This is so stupid.
Apparently, you can't just
leave the hospital
whenever you want.
Yeah. We heard,
she was screaming.
Okay, well, now we have
to stop by the hospital
on the way to the station.
(grunts)
No, Murphy,
you just go.
Felix and I will
take care of the cops.
Mm.
No, I'm gonna go with you guys.
You had a gun to your head
today because of us.
I'm not gonna wait
another hour. Felix?
Yeah. Great.
Thank you.
Okay.
Come on, Pretzel.
I'm gonna call you an Uber and
I will see you at home. Here.
Hey. Come here.
Make sure they protect
you guys, okay?
Okay.
Be careful.
I will.
I love you.
Hey, how's he doing?
Alert. Good. I think
a little freaked out.
I haven't taken
his statement yet.
Thought you'd want
to handle that yourself.
But you did take
the woman's, right?
Yeah, she's says she's got
a recording of him confessing
to the murder of her friend,
Tyson Parker.
Here's her phone
and her cloud login.
Thanks.
She gave consent to access it.
I'll take it from here.
You got it, Chief.
Where is it?
(muttering):
Where is my phone?
I need to talk to the police.
PARAMEDIC:
You're gonna be fine.
(indistinct radio chatter)
I need...
I need to talk to the police.
Who's smoking?
Who's-who's smoking?
Can I bum one?
Sure.
Can I get a light, too?
(lighter clicks)
Thank you.
It's just one, Pretzel. Shut up.
I just heard
the recording.
What were you
thinking?
Look, that-that was taken
way out of context.
You know me. You...
You know I'm not capable
of something like this.
I've worked for the city
for 20 years.
I've put my life on the line.
That's your job.
Look, it was self-defense.
I don't care what it was.
Do you know the media circus
that's gonna hit
when this gets out?
And I'm gonna be the one
in front of those cameras.
I'm sorry.
This all happened on my watch,
and there is no way that Simmons
doesn't shank me
to try to save face.
Is the recording the only piece
of evidence? Don't lie to me.
That's it. There's nothing else.
Great. This case
won't even make it to trial,
which, optically, is even worse.
What do you mean?
I'm guessing you didn't consent
to being recorded?
In Illinois, you have to consent
for anything to be admissible.
So the whole country
is just gonna watch you
get away with it.
I'm finished.
So the recording
isn't admissible?
Then what's the point of putting
any of this out there?
Riley, come on,
you want me to bury this?
You got to be kidding me.
No, no.
I...
Look, I feel terrible.
I want a chance
to make this right.
How can you possibly
make this right?
By stopping
Nia Bailey.
She's the real person
responsible
for the death of Tyson Parker.
That kid didn't
stand a chance.
She had him dealing drugs
for her when he was 15.
We stop her,
we stop thousands of kids
who are gonna end up
just like Tyson. That is
what this department needs.
We've arrested Nia before,
the charges never stick.
I am one of the few people
that Nia trusted.
I have information on her
that no one else we work with
would ever be able to get.
And, Chief,
she's gonna keep doing this.
She will continue
flipping good cops and-and
outsmarting us at every turn.
Meanwhile, she's got
teenagers selling heroin
to other teenagers.
Nia Bailey needs to be stopped.
And I promise you,
if you let me come back to work,
I will deliver her.
Wipe the girl's phone.
As far as I'm concerned, nothing
was on there when I got here.
Thank you.
Just get me Nia Bailey.
Hey, we need to drop the charges
on Darnell James.
He's got a solid alibi.
Yeah, we messed up.
I know. Sorry about this.
Deep breath.
Good. Again.
Very good. Again.
Good. Again.
I think you got it.
One more time,
please.
Very good. Okay,
everything looks great.
Now you can go.
Check out out front.
Thanks. This was all
very necessary.
Thanks.
Do you know if Dean Riley
is out of questioning yet?
Sorry?
Uh, he's a, he's a patient
here and he was arrested,
so they weren't gonna let
anyone talk to him
until he was out
of questioning.
I can check.
Dean Riley?
Yeah.
Uh, you said
he was arrested?
Yeah.
I don't see that here.
He's being treated
as a normal patient.
What?
Hey.
Get out of my room
or I'm calling security.
Where did the cops go? You're
supposed to be in custody.
That was
a misunderstanding.
A misunderstanding?
This is impossible. I need,
I need to speak to someone.
Maybe I should
speak with someone.
You assaulted me,
and then you tried to kill me,
and then you lied
to the police about it.
That's what you said?
You said that I lied?
You lied to me
every single day
since the day I met you,
every single day,
and you continue to lie.
You tricked me into believing
that you cared about me.
And you killed my best friend.
Get the hell
out of my room.
No. Why are you not
in custody?
Why are you not in custody?
I don't need to explain
myself to you.
I've cleared it up
with the chief already.
(scoffs) You actually think
you're gonna get away with this?
Murphy, there's nothing to get
away with. I didn't do anything.
I have you on tape.
It was in the cloud.
I got it off my phone.
Hm. Where's your phone now?
I gave it to the cops.
Right.
Well, that would be me.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
I...
Find outside, Pretzel.
Go.
What is taking so long?
Hmm, I don't know. Maybe
they have actual emergencies.
I said this was an emergency.
I'm gonna go see
what's going on.
Hi. Um, I'm just checking in.
Is there another route?
No, ma'am.
All right, can you,
can you, uh, hurry?
What do you
want me to do?
How far away are we?
Three blocks.
Okay, I'm just,
I'm just gonna walk.
That's too much.
Yeah, well, keep it.
Sorry, sir. Sorry.
Hey, guys.
I can take you back now.
Great. Okay. Thank you.
No problem.
All right.
Okay.
What's so important?
What's this?
Okay, uh, so,
the other day, we, um...
MURPHY:
Hi.
Uh... Murphy...
Sorry I'm late.
...what are you, Murphy,
what are you doing here?
I'm here for
the big meeting.
So what's been said?
What did I miss?
GENE: Nothing yet,
just a mysterious bag
sitting in front of me.
Uh, is it-- Does anybody want to
tell me what's-what's going on?
I'm gonna-- I'm gonna tell you
what's going on.
Officer...
I didn't catch your name.
Gene. Uh, Clemens.
It's Officer Clemens.
Well, we recently
caught someone...
...littering all over Chicago.
It was very upsetting,
it was very reckless.
Bottles and cans, gum--
all over the city.
So, you're all here
because of litter?
Yes.
Yep.
Because littering is the
number one problem in our city.
That's not true.
Could be.
Look, guys, I-I appreciate
the honor and respect
you have for Mother Earth, okay?
But this isn't the type of thing
that we-we focus on.
Okay. Uh, we will just take
our backpack of trash
and put it in the trash
where it belongs.
There's garbage in that?
Yes.
Yep.
It was evidence, but...
I have a briefing
I have to get to.
I'm-I'm gonna walk you guys out.
Okay.
GENE:
Okay.
Nice meeting you. Pretzel.
What just happened?
We can't trust the cops.
Wh-Why?
Because they're
protecting Dean.
What? What do you mean?
Dean's back on the force!
I handed that cop
my statement.
I literally gave him a
recording where Dean admits
to murdering Tyson and
they still protected him.
So I don't know who
we can trust in there.
But you recorded him.
I know.
I don't even know
how he did this,
but he's literally getting away
with everything.
This is unbelievable.
I'm sorry, Murphy.
I...
I don't know what to say.
I think for now
we just need to...
we just have to do
what Nia says because...
we don't have a choice.
GUARD:
Darnell James.
You're free to go.
What?
They dropped the charges.
Your move.
You're really okay?
I'm fine.
I'm strong like bull.
When are you coming home?
I can't take
Grandma watching me.
(chuckles softly)
She boring you to tears?
Oh, my God.
All she does is talk about
all the different ways
she knows how to cook a potato.
Well, don't worry, I will be out
of here in a couple of days.
Good.
Where's Murphy?
I don't know.
I thought she'd be here.
Yeah. Um...
Sweetie, Murphy and I broke up.
What?
No...
What happened?
I don't know.
She just... ended it
out of nowhere.
Uh... maybe the idea of me
was better than the reality.
Hey,
it is what it is.
I'll get over it.
I told you,
I am strong like bull.
Come here.
Jules?
Baby, you home?
Man, I texted you,
no text back--
what's up with that?
(whispers):
No, no...
(crying):
No, baby. Baby, baby, wake up.
Wake up, baby.
No.
Well?
Wh-- The recording's
not on here.
Of course it's not.
(sighs)
He probably had his
cop friends delete it.
All I wanted was
justice for Tyson.
And I got it, I actually got it.
And now it's just gone.
It's like this
never even happened.
And Dean's just...
just living his life like he--
like he always has.
Yeah, Murphy,
why don't you come and sit?
I don't want to sit!
I want to kill him!
I was to destroy him!
I want him to be in misery every
moment of every day forever!
He has to live with the fact
that he killed a kid.
He doesn't care. He only cares
about himself and his own kid.
That's what I'll do.
Can you drive me to Dean's?
Why?
'Cause I'm gonna tell Chloe
that her dad's a murderer.
Murphy...
He can weasel his
way out of prison,
but he's gonna live the rest
of his life with his daughter
knowing what a monster he is,
because that's worse than jail.
Okay, hold on.
Can you drive me?
I can't.
And I-I understand
that you're angry,
but this is not the solution.
Stop, Jess!
No, you...
Drive me!
Stop!
I am not gonna help you
ruin Chloe's life.
I'm ruining Dean's.
(scoffs) Whatever.
I'll just get there myself.
Come on, Pretzel!
Come, now!
Okay, hey, Mur--
(exhales)
Murphy?
Hi. Uh, can I help you?
Is Chloe here?
CHLOE:
I know what this is about.
I highly doubt that.
(chuckles softly)
My dad told me
you guys broke up.
Did he happen
to mention why?
Not really.
He was pretty vague
about the whole thing.
Yeah, I bet.
Look, Chloe...
I get it.
You don't have to explain
what happened.
My dad's a dork.
I mean, I'm his best friend.
Yeah, but he's not, like,
your best friend, right?
Um, yeah.
I know that makes me sound
like a loser, but...
when I found out about the
accident you guys got into,
I thought it was going to be
like my mom all over again.
And I just...
I'm just really happy he's okay.
I don't know what I'd do
without him.
You're not happy I'm okay?
Jerk.
Shut up. Of course I am.
(chuckles)
We're still gonna be friends,
right?
Yeah.
Always.
Ugh. What kind
of gum is that?
Ugh.
Why?
Smells like ass. Ugh.
(chuckles)
Shut up!
(laughs)
Hey, uh, did you--
did you find anything?
Suicide, no foul play.
It wasn't a suicide.
I'm telling you, there-there's
got to be something here.
I'm sorry.
Take care, man.
JESS: What are
we gonna do?
We have no idea how
to launder money.
We'll figure it out.
It's not forever.
I outsmarted a murderer,
so I can outsmart Nia.
Yeah, something
tells me that
Nia's a little smarter
than Dean.
Oh, because she's a woman, Jess?
Yes.
Look, I'm gonna get
us out of this.
I'm not gonna let anything
happen to either of you.
Either of us? Aw.
MURPHY:
Shut up. I'm serious.
It's just temporary,
but in the meantime, we do need
to hire a new receptionist.
Why?
Because I'm not just gonna
sit at my desk
while you guys are forced
to do all the illegal stuff.
You just hate answering
the phones.
Is that what you really think?
Yes.
Fine, Murphy,
I won't talk
about Dean anymore.
Come back to the bar.
It's weird that
you're sitting here.
We-we just...
Can you just hang on
'cause we need to
figure out some
work stuff.
Work? Since when?
FELIX: We're
considering hiring
a new receptionist.
I actually own the company,
so I get final say,
as they know.
We're discussing that, so...
Okay, well, seriously,
can you hire my brother?
He just moved back here
and he's looking for work.
Send him in for an interview.
Tell him the big boss
is a big fan of his big sis.
(Felix chuckles)
Okay, well, hold on. Ben!
Come over here.
I want you to meet
some friends of mine.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe
you actually did that.
