In the Dark (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 4 - Deal Me In - full transcript

Murphy, what are we gonna do
about the drugs?

Forget about the drugs.

We're sort of dealing
with something.

- Max?
- I'm here.

I thought
you were leaving town.

I tried.

But the money I hid in
the lake house wasn't there.

So, I got caught.

Yeah.

Do you know how long
you're gonna be in here for?

Probably a few years.



That's not that bad.

We can make this work.

What?

It's just,
ever since you came back,

I feel like there's
something wrong with me. I...

- I think about you all the time.
- Murphy, stop.

I know it was you.

You were the only one who
knew that money was there.

And suddenly Guiding Hope
is back in business?

And if you even try
to lie to me...

I didn't take it.
Jess and Felix found it,

and I didn't think
you needed it.

Of course you didn't.

Because you only ever
think about yourself.



Why didn't you
just tell me?

I would have had
a ten-hour lead on Dean

if I hadn't gone back for that
money and now look where I am.

So, what, this is my fault?

You committed a crime.

Honestly, Murphy...

I'm done.

Are you leaving?

Where are you going?

Take care of yourself.

Max?

Wait, Max.

Max! Max!

In the Dark
S02E04 - Deal Me In

Where'd you, where'd
you throw my underwear?

No idea. Stay naked.

Please.

Where are they?

What's this?

I got that for my ex.

Well, for me to
wear for my ex.

But we never used it.
So, it's...

You never used it?

No.

I've actually
never used one before.

That's just plain silly.

I'm just gonna...

put this on here.

You got that
on really quick.

Jess?

Yeah?

Are you busy?

A little bit.

Stop.

Text Felix.

Texting Felix.

Want to grab a drink,
question mark.

Jess is busy having sex with
that Sterling chick. Send.

Text from Felix.

"Can't RN."

Cool.

You want a piece of this?
You want a piece of this?

You want a piece
of Felix Bell?

Okay, come and get it.
Come and get it.

Hi!

Here.

Awesome.

Thank you, Sam. This is...

This means a lot and...

That's what we need clean.

This one is your cut.

Okay.

Is it a check or...?

Is... is that it?

For all three of us?

Yeah.

After I took my piece.

I'm sorry, did you
say your-your piece?

That's not...

I'm sorry, but I don't...

You know, with all due
respect, I-I have to...

I'm gonna have to
put my foot down

and I'm gonna have
to say, like, no.

Like, I'm sorry,
but -this is...

unacc-unacceptable.

What are you
gonna do about it?

Shoot me?

No. That's not! I don't
even know how to use that.

It's just to make me
feel safe around you.

Max Parish got arrested.

Max is alive?

It would appear that way.

Change that.

Okay.

Find me Darnell.

It ain't as bad
as you think.

Yeah. Thanks.

I have a wife and kid they
only let me talk to once a day.

So, I paid a guy
400 bucks for this.

400 bucks for that?

Thought you said
this place wasn't that bad.

Hey, do you know
who that guy was?

Mike something.
Dude's a lunatic.

Do you know
what he's in for?

Dealing.

H, I think.

For who?

Nia Bailey?

Could be.

Coming to breakfast?

I...

I think I'm just gonna
stay in here, actually.

You know, just read a book
or something.

Detective Dean Riley
wants a word.

Yeah? Well, you can
tell him he can go...

Where is he?

Yeah, he's not coming.
Not much I can do.

Hey, Murph...

You need to get up. You
got to get ready for work.

I'm sick.
I'm just gonna...

I'm not going.

Hey.

Hey.

Okay...

I'm gonna get you
some water, okay?

No, I'm fine. I'm just...

Just gonna sleep.

Okay.

Who is it?

It's Dean.

I need to talk to you.

Go away!

It's about Max.

He's in trouble.

Come on, Murphy!
Open the door!

Whatever you have to say,
you say it out there.

You need to get Max
to talk to me.

Why on earth would I get Max
to talk to you?

Otherwise, he's
going to die.

What are you talking about?

He flipped on Nia.

She wanted him dead
on the outside.

You think she doesn't have guy
sinside who could finish the job?

Like it or not, I'm the only
one who can protect him.

Okay, then protect him!

That's not how it works.

He has to tell me
what he knows.

You're unbelievable!

You know,
I didn't have to come here.

Look,

Max knows where
Nia's stash is.

That'll give me
the leverage

to have him moved to
a prison out of state.

But...
he won't talk to me,

and I thought maybe
you could convince him.

I'm just trying to do
the right thing.

You're such a good person.

Okay, Murphy, I tried.

Hey, do you think I can
get paid early this week?

No. You can get
paid on Friday.

What's the difference if I
get paid today or Friday?

Because we can't afford it.

That's why.

Chelsea says you're rich.

Yeah.

I...
Well, you just have to wait

until Friday, okay?

Look who decided
to show up.

Yeah, hi. Sorry, sorry.

I know. Sorry.
Traffic was brutal.

I drive the same route.

Yeah. We didn't
come here together.

We just ran into each other
in the parking lot.

Jess, don't. Murphy already told
me you guys are, you know...

What?

I know you guys are,
you know...

Whoa.

Come here. I need to talk
to you. Where is Murphy?

Sick?

- Hungover
- No. She's...

Yeah.Hungover.

What do you need
to talk to me about?

I just wanted to give you
your cut for you and Murphy.

My God. Thank God.
Okay, great.

Here you go.

This is it?

Yeah. Don't even
get me started.

Sam, such a dick.

Whatever. I'm gonna
get some coffee.

Hey. Long time.

Yeah. Hi.

They give us free pop here,
so I brought you one.

Thanks. Thank you.

So what's up?
I only got a second.

Your text sounded
important.Yeah.

I can't tell if Dean
is manipulating me or not,

and I'm... I'm just
sort of freaking out.

Manipulating you how?

So -Dean showed
up at my house

and he told me that
I have to convince Max.

I just don't... Max?
What about Max?

Dean said Nia has guys in
prison that will kill Max.

Is that true?

Max got arrested?

My God.

What?

Nothing.

Darnell, does Nia have guys
in pr... Murphy,

Max is done,

and there's nothing
you or I can do about it.

I'm really sorry.

I got to go. Where
are you going?

Back to work.

You haven't even asked me
how I'm doing today, Jess.

Okay. How are
you doing today?

Terrible, Jess. Terrible.

Why? What's going
on? I made a reservation

for me and Chelsea at
Cedar and Fig.
Where?

It was on Chef's
Table, Jess.Move.

It's, like, this
super fancy place

she's always wanted
to go, right? Yeah.

And I knew we were getting
our first cut last night,

so I was like,
"Hey, let's go."

But now I can't
afford it because Sam

took all of our cut,
and it's just... so unfair.

Well, Felix, yeah, a lot of
things are unfair right now.

I mean, I don't know
what to tell you.

Just tell Chelsea
money is tight.

I mean, what else
are you gonna say?

She bought a new
dress, Jess.Well...

Look at this text.

Damn, Chels. Thirsty.

Yeah, I get it.
Move, please.

I don't even know
how to respond.

Well, you know, Felix,

I think she wants you
to respond with like...

You know?

Wait. What, have
you guys not...

yet?

No, Jess,
we have not done it yet.

I just, I really like her,

and it's been
a while for me,

so tonight was
supposed to be, like,

the perfect night, you know?

How long has it been?

Let's just say
Obama was president.

Happier times all around.

Here.

What's this?

I know you're not in here
because you love reading, man.

Thanks.

Please!

I'm sorry,
it's not visiting hours.

I need to speak
to Max Parish.

It's an emergency.

An emergency? I bet.

Ma'am, you
can't stand there.

Can you please just give him
a message for me?

I'm begging you.

Please.

- Hello?
- Murphy,

no more messages,
no more reaching out,

nothing.

You have to tell Dean
where Nia's stash house is.

Yeah? That's a great idea.

Dean said he can
transfer you out of state.

He said he'll protect you,

but only if you tell him
where it is.

Yeah, thanks, but I don't need
help from your little boyfriend.

You can hate me all you
want, but don't be an idiot.

Max, you're
gonna die in there.

Just tell him, please. It's
literally your only option.

If I do that,

if I tell him,

it's not just Nia
who goes down.

They'll take down everyone
who works for her, too.

I can't do that to Darnell.

He doesn't work for Nia
anymore. He quit, okay?

Just... just tell Dean
where it is.

Just, please, don't be
a hero, okay? Please.

Fine.

Like now, Max.

Okay.

I got to go.

Have a nice day.

Nia wants to see you.

Hey. I'm out of
here. See ya.

Did you cancel
your reservation? No.

- Felix...
- What?

I'm just soaking up
these last few moments

of knowing I was
about to have sex tonight.

You still might.Yeah.

Nothing's sexier than telling
a girl that you're broke.

God, Jess, this sucks.

Sam stole my
money, our money.

We earned that.
She just took it.

Like, people can just
take things.
Yes.

Like I said earlier,

there's nothing
we can do about it, Felix,

so...

I really got to go.

Yeah, I know.
Have fun banging all night.

Hey. You're here.

Yeah.

Well, you kind of missed
the whole day, but, um,

are you feeling better?

Yeah, um, yeah. Can
we talk in your office?

Um, Sterling and I are just
about to leave, actually.

She's coming over.Wow.

What happened to casual?

It is.

Well, I'm trying. I just...

I just, I feel good for
the first time since, um,

well, everything, and, um...

I just... I don't know...
I guess I was like,

"Well, maybe
it's all worth it."

Yeah. Well, have fun.
I'll see you back at home.

Okay. Do you need a ride?

No, I'm good.
I'm, um, hungry,

so I'll probably just
heat up something here.

Okay. I'll see you later.

I got to go warm
up the car.Forward.

I remember a summer's day

I remember walking up to you

I remember
my face turned red

And I remember
staring at my feet.

Sit down. You want some tea?

I'm okay.

You know why you're here?

I'm sorry.
I just couldn't do it.

But Max won't snitch.

I ain't worried about Max.

I got somebody who's
gonna take care of that.

Darnell,

you're a problem for me.

You don't do your job,

then I got to come behind
you and clean up your messes.

One time. Don't
act like this the

first time that you gotten close
to somebody you shouldn't have.

I'm talking about Jules.

You... you knew about us?

Of course I did.

And you still...?

What? Think I was gonna let
you run around with a cop

for the rest
of your life, D?

She was onto us.

You're too trusting.
You always have been.

Just tell me
what you want from me.

I want you to do
your job again.

Show me you know

where your
loyalty should be.

Okay.

'Cause I've known
you all your life.

I'd hate to lose you,
you understand?

Yeah.

I understand.

And this is accurate?

Thank you. Wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.

I thought you were gonna
transfer me out of state.

Yeah, but I got to get it
approved and whatnot.

Max, these things take time.

Thanks again.

Wait, wait!

Wait!

Sorry, bro.

Thank you.

Welcome back, D.

Sam, what happened?

Josiah's guys hit Grand and
Larson about an hour ago.

They took the corner.

This guy won't quit.

I heard he's also trying
to make a deal

with Mateo for more supply.

Well, not if I buy up
all Mateo's product.

Josiah can't sell
what he ain't got.

You can't afford that.

I'll make it work.

In the meantime,
let's send Josiah a message.

Sam, take out
one of his guys,

and make sure he
knows it's from me.

Nia, let me do it.

You?

Give me a second chance to
prove to you I can do this.

Okay.Nia.

I ain't ask for an opinion.

Get it done.

Y'all can go.

Except you, Vincent.
I got a job for you.

Call from 312...

Hello?

Murphy?

Max?

Max, did you,
did you talk to Dean?

He didn't hold up
his end of the deal, Murphy.

- What do you mean?
- I told him everything,

just like you begged me
to do, and he did nothing.

My God, are you okay?

I can't believe
I ever listened to you.

If Nia didn't
want me dead before,

she sure as hell
wants me dead now.

Okay, are you..is there
a guard with you now?

Are you safe?
Are you, are you safe?

I will never be
safe in here.

Open Uber.

Pretzel!

I need to talk
to Detective Dean Riley.

It's an emergency.

Ma'am, I'm sorry,
he's in a meeting.

Tell him it's Murphy Mason.

I can't interrupt
him right now.

You know what?
I'll wait till you can.

Are you enjoying the toasted
crostini a la from age?

You mean the grilled cheese
with a fancy name?

It's, like, the best thing I've
ever had in my entire life.

Good, good.
Have a bite.

My God.

Right?

Like, it's cheese on bread.

I have to go to
the bathroom.

I have an
overactive bladder.

I don't know
why I'm still talking.

I'll be right back.Okay.

Hey.

You got this.

Okay.

Excuse me.

Whoa. Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa, whoa.
What the hell, man?

Why?!

Why are you doing this?!

Don't ever steal from Nia.

You hear me?

Yes! Yes! Yes!

What?!

Yes!

All right.

This is your only warning.

Yo.

Hey, man.

Thanks for coming.

So, what's up?

Haven't heard
from you in years,

I bump into you once,
now I can't get rid of you.

It's not like that.

I need a favor.

What's up?

I need a meeting
with Josiah.

Thought you quit.

So did I.

Look, man, if this is
a message from Nia...

It's not.

She doesn't even
know I'm here.

You turning on Nia?

Wow.

She's gonna kill you, man.

She took everything from me.

I'm-a do the same to her.

Just get me the meeting.

I remember a summer's day

I remember walking up to you

I remember my face
turned red...

Sorry about that.

What happened?

You were gone forever.

Why is your shirt wet?

I ran into
a waiter ran in the hall

who had a tray
full of waters.

No. Are you okay?

I'm good, yeah.
I'm good.

Hey, do you want
to get out of here?

Now?

Yeah, I think we should go,
you know?

Okay.

He was a friend of mine.

Um, do you want
something to drink?

Short date.

Ben.

Hello. Thought you were
gonna be out.

I was.
And then I came back.

Do you want to go watch the
game at your friend's house?

No. This game sucks.

They're gonna lose.

Do you want
to go see a movie?

I don't have any money.

I have some.

Here.

Go see a movie.

What do you want to drink?

Whatever you're having.

You know, just 'cause
you gave me money

doesn't mean I'm okay
with you boning my sister.

What? I'm...
We're not...

I'm just messing
with you, man.

Okay. But, seriously,

don't... I'll kill you.

What?

My God, I'm kidding.

Chill out.

Funny.

It's rosé.

I know, be more basic.

No, that's perfect.

Thank you. I...

I love rosé.

I'm a... rosé man.

What?

No, you're cute.

I can't. Sorry.
I got it. I got it.

I didn't mean
to waste the day...

- I should get a condom.
- I have one!

Sorry.

- Don't know why I yelled that.
- Cool.

Feeling the blood drip
from my hand and my heart...

- Are you good?
- Yeah.

From this thing
you call love.

Are you, are you okay?

I'm totally fine.
I'm so sorry.

I don't know what's...

We... we don't
have to do this.

No, no! We do, we
do, we do! No, no, no.

No, it's-it's...
I mean, we don't have to,

obviously...
I mean, I...

I want to.

What was that?

Okay.

Like, processing
this, like,

situation from
earlier and...

The adrenaline wore off,
and now I think my body's

just doing weird things.

It's okay. It's okay.

Okay.

I'm so sorry.

I should probably
just go home.

Okay.

I'm gonna just go
use the bathroom.

My God.

That was...

I just, I...

I feel like I should
be taking notes.

"Notes"? Yeah.

What, for some other girl?

No.

Or I don't know.
Maybe.

I'm-I'm having
a little bit of...

trouble.

Performing?

You want me to grab
the harness again?

No, I...

But, no, I...

God, I know that...
I know that we're doing

this whole casual thing,
but, um, I, I'm...

I'm starting to
have feelings.

For you.

I feel the same way.

You do?

Yeah.

I, like,
really like you, Jess.

Okay, this is ridiculous.

I need to talk to Detective
Dean Riley right now.

Ma'am, ask me again,
I'll have you escorted...

Dean! Dean Riley?! Ma'am!

I know you're not
in a stupid meeting. Ma'am!

Dean! Dean R...
Murphy, Murphy, Murphy.

Murphy, Murphy.
I got this. Thank you.

Don't you ever make
me wait. Ever.Okay. Okay.

Sure.
Ever.

What are you doing
here? Are you crazy?

You show up to my house, but
I can't show up to your work?

What do you want?

Don't act like you
don't know what I want.

I want to know why you didn't
hold up your end of the deal.

He gave you everything, and you
just left him in there to die.

Murphy, I did what I had
to do. I needed information.

Was one murder
not enough for you?

Get out.

Why didn't you protect him?

You got what you needed,
so why not just hold up

your end of the deal?
Murphy...

Is it because
you're jealous?

Are you that pathetic?

No.
Tell me

and I'll leave.

Because there is no point.

Even if I could move Max out
of state, Nia would find a way

to get to him
sooner or later.

So I'm sorry, I
can't save him.

The only person who
can do that is Nia Bailey.

And thanks to Max, I'm gonna
be putting her behind bars

for a very long time.

Now please, get the hell
out of here.

Where are we going?

Miss?

Who, give them devils
all a heart attack

And leave their ass
laying dead...

You can catch it
to your head

Pull a hater
by their... dome...

Hi.

Hi.

And my heart is gold

Dripping-dripping from
my tippy-toes

Industry can't hold us down

Time to peel, smash
that teacup and get out

Demon sitting on a pile
for a while

Suffocate stuff
in their mouth

All the tears crocodile

Peace with my friends and make
sure my family is thriving

Glorious,
you cannot bottle me

I just want everything,
I just want everything

Feeling so glorious

You cannot follow me

I just want everything...

Josiah, Darnell.

I know who he is.

You were a runner
when I worked for Nia.

You worked for Nia?

For five years.

You weren't important enough
to know who I was.

Listen...

You listen.

I don't trust Nia.

And I don't trust anyone
who works for Nia.

So tell me why you're here.

You obviously didn't like
working for Nia very much.

Neither do I.

I want to help
you take her out.

I'm already doing that
by myself.

You won't have
enough product to do it.

She's about to
buy out Mateo.

You trust him?

Yeah.

You trust him
with your life?

Yeah.

I'll remember that.

What do you got?

One of her stash houses.

For you to take. Whatever
she's got right now.

Okay.

Go get it.

It's guarded. I need backup.

How many?

Three.

You, you and you, Trey.

Done. You three.

Thing is...

she expects me
to send you a message.

One of my guys?

Yeah, but...

Now go get it.

My guess is she's got guys in
the living room and in the back.

Look, whatever
we have to do, we do it.

We get this house,
we get Nia Bailey.

Let's go.

I can't go in with y'all.
She got cameras.

But she keeps her stuffing
the cabinets above the sink.

All right?

All right, we're gonna roll
up on the house discreetly.

Sirens off. Ram the front
door, clear that front room,

give me the okay sign,
we'll be right behind you.

Once you take out the
guards, get the product

and get out of there.

There'll be guys
bagging in the basement.

They will hear the shots.

My God.

Cops got to it.

Drive. Drive.

At least Nia will no longer
be a problem for Josiah.

You know what I'm saying?
We good now. We home, baby.

Let's go! Yo!

Let's go!

Clear.

Search it.

Where the hell is it, man?

Where are we going?

Miss?

Sunrise Cleaners.

I have something
to tell you.

Okay.

Dean got something
out of Max.

Something that could
take you down.

He never told Sarah,

but... he told Dean.

And I'll tell
you what it is,

but you have to do
something for me.

What's your price?

Max.

Call off the hit on him.

That's quite a price.

I know how much
your organization is worth.

So, what's your information?

He knows where
your drugs are.

Max was lying.

No, he wasn't.

She moved it.

That presents a
problem for me.

I got nowhere to put them.

Yes, you do.
