In the Dark (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 6 - The Truth Hurts - full transcript

Call from Josh IRS.

Call from Josh IRS.

Oh, my God.
It's fine.

It's fine?

Then why is he calling you
in the middle of the night?

Does he know where you are?

♪ I stay awake
in the middle of a paradise ♪

♪ You're sleeping
like a bird and it's fine ♪

♪ My love is good enough ♪

♪ Believe me, I'm the truth ♪

♪ When I dream in your arms ♪



♪ Oh, come, come, come on ♪

♪ You go away in the middle ♪

♪ Of this bloody night ♪

♪ I'm aching like
a dog but it's fine ♪

♪ My love was good enough ♪

♪ Believe me, I'm the truth ♪

♪ When I cry all the day ♪

♪ Oh, come, come, come back... ♪

How's everything over there?

Looks like Felix stopped
skimming, so... progress.

And Murphy has everything
under control.

And Jess?

Jess is, uh, harmless.

So harmless



you had to spend the last
three nights at her place?

She seemed on edge.

And I'd rather she come
running to me than to the cops.

Yeah.

Okay.

Are you
being serious?

You-you told me
to get close to her.

To all of them.

Come on, Sam.

Jess is just my way
of gaining their trust.

Okay?

Okay.

You're right. I'm sorry.

I'm gonna get ready for bed.

Hi. Hey.

Uh, I've seen you naked.

A bunch.

Yeah, I know.

I know, it's just--
it's usually not so bright.

What are you doing here?
I, um,

I brought you this.
Murphy let me in.

Thanks.
That's very sweet of you.

I missed you last night.

I missed you, too.

Ster?

Babe?

Wait, back up. What exactly
did Josh's phone say?

It-it was reading out loud
the cases that he's working on

and one of them was Nia Bailey.

And you didn't think to ask
a follow-up question on that?

Yes, because that wouldn't be
at all suspicious.

You could've asked
at least one question.

I want to know what
he knows. If...

If he's onto us,
we have to get ahead of that.

You don't think I know that?

But there's a way better
approach, okay?

Don't sleep with him.

I wasn't gonna sleep
with him, idiot.

I'm gonna find his files on Nia.

Call from Darnell.

What's he want?

I don't know.
I'll just call him back later.

Okay.
Call, uh, Josh Wallace.

Speakerphone. Speakerphone.

No. Give it to me.

Give me the phone.
Give me the phone.

Shut up.
It's on speakerphone. Shut up.

Shut up.
Hello?

Hi. Hey,
it's Murphy Mason.

Yeah, I know.
My, uh, my phone tells me

these sort of things now.

Uh, yeah, that's actually
why I was calling.

Because Felix showed me
this new app,

which I'm probably
never gonna use,

but I do feel like it could
help you fake it at work.

That would actually be
insanely helpful.

Um, I can come by
your office now.

Can you wait until after work?

Sure, yeah.

See you around 7:00?

Great. Okay, bye.

Now I can take pictures
of Nia's files.

Done.

Is that my jacket?

No.

Yes, it is. I bought it
at a flea market in Prague.

I left it at your sister's.

No. It's-it's mine.

I'm sorry?

If you like it,
I'll sell it to you.

200 bucks.

I'm not gonna pay $200

for a jacket
I paid 30 koruna for, so...

Isn't that, like, a dollar?

That's not the point.

The point is-is...
it's already mine.

Looks like we're
at a real impasse here, sir.

Did you also steal my burrito?

No.

I don't even
like tortilla, so...

I can't give you
the stash house, man.

The people
that work there are, like,

friends of mine, I guess.

Your guys can't go in there.

What if I can get them
protection from Josiah?

Nia will kill them

if anything goes missing.

Can you just try
to talk to them?

I mean,
maybe they want

work with us instead.
I already tried.

They're too scared of Nia.
I'm sorry.

So, that's it?

We both know she has
other stash houses.

I don't know
what else to do, man.

She doesn't let any of us
know multiple locations.

I vouched for you, man.

Josiah wants Nia gone.

Now, you said...

I will figure it
out. All right?

Nah. You know what?

It's cool.

Trey, what are you gonna do?

See you around, D.

Trey?

Yo.

I got you.

Remember that one time
in the fifth grade?

You called me
and I was like, there. Boom!

TGIF, huh?

Got any big plans
this weekend?

No.

My mom's coming into town.

Gonna take her to the Bean.

Neat.

Hey, man, this is weird.

Max wrote this down in Klingon

on the pad
from the truck.

What?

Star Trek.

Well, I'm not even going to ask

the millions of questions
I want to ask you.

He wouldn't have
wrote it down in code

unless it was
something important.

Something he didn't
want anyone to know.

Might have to do
with Nia's organization.

I think I can
translate this.

Well, you do that.

I'm-I'm going to check in
with my daughter.

Hey, pumpkin. How's it going?

Well, I'm grounded, so,

I went to school,
and now I'm doing homework.

Well, good.

Thank you. Listen,
I am stuck here.

So, I may not be home
for a few more hours. You okay?

I think I'll survive.

Love you.

Love you, too.

You were good.
That was good.

Should we go watch a movie?

Wait, hang on.

Mallory's mom left town
for the weekend,

so she's having people over.

We have to go.

Um, are you sure
freshmen are invited?

Yeah, totally.

So? Anything yet?

It's looking like "Green..."

something.

"Green tree," maybe?

What does that mean?

I don't know,
but I'm using a bunch

of different Trekkie sites
to figure this out.

Hey, this is low-key,
like... so fun.

Yeah.
Hmm.

Another delivery
tonight at 9:00.

Uh, where are you off to?
Uh,

bathroom, then home.

Have fun.

Oh, here you are.
Just texted you.

Are you okay?
Yeah, totally.

I saw that the
truck's back.

That's... that's good, right?

Yeah, yeah, Felix, uh...

Felix said that the cops
didn't find anything, so...

Thank God. Okay, well, uh,

just give me two
minutes, and then,

uh, I can drive us home.

Sterling has a thing, so,
we can hang out if you want.

I actually have plans.
Cool.

With your best friend, Felix?
No, with...

Um, with Josh. His eyesight's
just getting worse,

so I'm gonna teach him
some blind hacks.

Okay.

Don't sleep with him, please.

Geez. Knock much?

You have to make a quick drop.

I'm sorry?

It's to the same lady
as the last time.

Sam just texted me.
So can you be there by 9:00?

What? No.

Come on, I have to deal
with the Josh thing.

I have plans with Chelsea.

Dude.

Fine. I'll just text her and see
if she's available tomorrow

and tell her I'm working.

And Jess is still here,
so wait for her to leave.

The drop's at the...
grocery store again.

I love that this is my life now.

Drive.

Sit here.

What?

Okay, I-I don't know
what's going on,

but I didn't do any...

Puff paint.

I thought you
were gonna show me an app.

Patience.
I'm gonna blind-proof first.

I'm gonna make it super easy
to find what you need.

That is really nice of you.
Yeah.

nice.

Okay, where's your, uh,
where's your files?

On the move.

Right in front of you, ma'am.

Okay.

Uh...

show me "A."

Oh, uh...
She me where's "A."

Is "A" right here? Okay.

So, you draw
a little "A" for "A,"

right here, in puff paint,
and then when it dries,

you can feel it, you know?

So then you do a "B" for "B,"
you do a "C" for "C"

and so on.
Yeah. Seems
easy enough.

Yeah.
Then that's it?

No. Not even close. Okay?

You ready
to have your mind blown?

Okay? I don't think
you're prepared

for what I'm about to show you.

I don't think I am.

I don't think you are,
either.

Okay, so, I thought this app...

...was really stupid.

Open pics reader.

But it's actually incredible.

So, you know
how your phone reads

your e-mails for you
and stuff like that?

Say you wanted
to read an actual

piece of paper-- like, you know,
you wanted to take a look

at your, um, your "B" files.

Gimme.

Oh.

Let's just try B for,
you know...

just for kicks.

Okay.

So...

you would center the camera...
Whoa.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
No. No, no, no.

You can't take a photo

of any of these.
No, Murphy...
No, I...

I could get fired.
I'm just trying
to show you how it works.

I... can delete it, obviously.

I would delete it.

Here, use this.

Okay.

All right, so...
you find the center,

and then...

Hi, Joshie.
It's been a banner week

for the Wallace kids.

What the hell was that?

Oh, that's my family's update.

My mum sends it
every month.

So, this is incredible.

Thank you so much
for showing me.
Yeah, and I...

and I know, you know,
you work with a lot of, uh...

data and charts, so I want to
make sure the app is compatible.

Oh, don't worry,
I'll download it.

All right,
let's get puff painting.

Wow. It's loud.

Guess word got out.

Don't worry, though.

It'll be fun.

Can I have these two?

Hmm?
Seriously?

Oh, um,

here's a beer.
Oh.

Cool. Thanks.

You don't drink, do you?

Sometimes.

Wait. I don't want to,
like, corrupt you.

Stop.

Amber! You're
my beer pong partner.

I'll be right
back, Chlo!

Oh, hang on. There's a trucking
company called Green Floret.

They deliver produce
to grocery stores

in addition to federal
and public institutions,

schools... hospitals, prisons.

Green Floret. That's it.

That's how Nia's
getting the drugs

into the prison--
through the food.

Good evening.

Oh!

Oh.

Hi.
Hi.

What, uh...

what's up?

Sorry. One sec.

Uh...

Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch...

Try the bottom one.

What? No,
there is no bottom one.

Friends.
It's Ross and Rachel's first...

Never mind.

Hi!
Hi.

What?

What's, uh...
what are you doing here?

You said you had
to work late,

so I thought
I would keep you company.

Oh. Yeah, that's great.

This is too much.

No, no.
No, it is.

I'm an idiot. I-I really
thought it would be cute

if I surprised you, but now
that I'm here, it's super weird.

No, no, no, no, no. No.
Honestly, I love it.

No, you're lying.
I am not.

You're lying.
I am not.

Come here.
Come here. Mm.

Mm.

Wait, were you leaving?

Uh, what? Yeah.

Well, I was...
I was just, um...

wrapping up,
and I was about to text you.

Well, can we still do something?

Yeah. Of course.

Um, the... well,
we-we missed the reservation.

But, um... I-I...

How about this?
I'll cook you dinner.

My famous lasagna.

You just want to skip dinner
so we can have sex.

Ya got me.

Works for me.

But no, we...
that won't be happening.

that
will be happening.

Trust me. Right?

But not until
after I make you dinner.

Because you are a lady,
and I insist.

You're really sweet.

So, uh, I will run
to the grocery store,

pick up a few things,
and then...

meet at your place?
Well, no,

I'll just come with you.
No, you don't have to.
It's okay.

No, I do. I Uber'd
here, anyway, so...

Are you ready?

Um...

I'll be outside.
What?

There's nothing here.

I mean, I don't think
she's going to the Feds.

As far as I can see, she was
pretty vague with Sterling.

Just find another front.

I'm not gonna find another front

'cause your girlfriend's
sleeping with this chick.

That's not why.

Come on, Sam.

Anyway, I'll just make sure
she don't talk.

I'm Nia.
We haven't met.

H-Hi. Jess.

Jessica Damon.

This should be real quick.

I just want to make sure
we're good.

Mm-hmm. Yes, yes, of course.

Yes, we're very good.
Because I have

to make sure the people storing
my product can be trusted.

Do you mean your money?
'Cause yes, of course, that's...

it's very...
I'm not talking
about my money.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking
about the stacks of my product

you guys are storing
in your dog school.

What product
are you talking about?

I don't know how we're
supposed to trust her

when her own friends
don't even trust her.
Told you.

Let's just get the product
out of there, be done with them.

No, no, the other two are solid.

Murphy and that pasty kid.

But if even they think
Jess is a liability...

Did anyone see you guys
come in here?

No.

I think we should handle her.

What?

Ain't that what you wanted?

How's it going?

I think I got
to redo the "X."

It's kind of clumping
a little.

You've done it five times.

I got to use the loo
real quick.

If you'll just give me a sec.

Call from Chloe.

Hello?

Oh, thank God you answered.

What's going on?

I snuck out to this party,

and then this stupid guy

spilled a drink on me.

And I tried to find
a bathroom, but...

I walked into a closet.

And I'm still sitting here,
and it's so stupid.

Okay. Stop.

Chloe, first of all...

parties suck.

Will you come get me?

Sure. Of course. Um...

Text me an address
and I'll-I'll come get you.

Thank you, Murphy.

All right.

All right.

I'm back.
Well, change of plans.

Uh, we're going to a party,

and I sort of
need your eyes.

And if you make a blind
leading the blind joke,

I will kill myself.

Got it. I got it.
Truck number 5643.

Margaret Paulson.

Oh, and by the way,
Margaret Paulson happened to be

Nia Bailey's cellmate
last year.
Wow. That's... Go us.

It's like
one big puzzle.

You know, when all the pieces
start to fall in place.

It's the best feeling
in the world.

Got to celebrate
these tiny victories.

Hell yeah. Let's get a drink.

What? No. We got to go arrest
Margaret Paulson.

No, I know that.
No-- Yeah, of course. That--

I meant after.
We can get a drink after.

Like you said.

Hey, man.

You got any left?
Any what?

Don't play stupid.

I can't. I owe it to some guys.

You see that dude
over there?

The only way
I don't rat you out

is if you give me
what you have left.

Come on.

Thanks, man.

This party's a little
rambunctious.

Yeah, it's a
high school party.

Everyone's
drunk and horny.

See any closets?

Yeah, there's one.

Go.

I think we found her.

Chloe?

Hey.

All right, Jess.
Here's the deal.
Mm-hmm.

If your friends don't trust you,
I don't think I can trust you.

You can. I just--
I promise I'm not,

I'm not gonna do anything.

See, but what you say
doesn't mean anything.
No, Nia,

I swear I'm not gonna say,
I'm not gonna say anything.

Look, listen, you and Sam
are gonna have a little chat.

A chat?

What does
that mean?

Ooh, I hate doing these things.

Just don't move.

Help me.

Help, please.

Please.

It's okay.

Good. Okay, her lungs
are collapsing.

We need to get her
to the hospital

right now.
No.

No.
They have to
report gunshots

to the cops.
It doesn't matter.

She's gonna die.
You heard her. No.

Okay.

Okay. Here.

Give me your hand.

Apply pressure, okay?

We need to stop
the bleeding.

Come. Come on.

Okay.

Come on.

Here. Let me see.

Okay, dry the wound.

Nia, come on. Okay.
Okay.

Let me see.
Okay. What is that?

It's a valve...
so air can't get in.

Okay, this is gonna have to do

until we get back
to my exam room.

Okay, you... you
have my keys.

I need you to go
pull my car around.

And then you need
to come back

and help me get her
in the backseat, okay?

Okay.
Good.

So, okay, so, we got
the Parmigiano-Reggiano,

mozzarella,
uh, noodles.

So I think we're, uh...
I think we're good.

I see what you're doing.
What?

What do you mean?

I'm not doing anything.

Oh.

Whoa. Oh. Oh. Okay.

Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.

Okay. I, um...
You know, it's just...

It's a little cold in here,

so I don't know
if I'm gonna be able to...

But I can manage...
for you. Mmm.

Oh.

Okay.

Oh.

All right. Brrr.

Margaret Paulson?
Yeah?

We have a warrant
to search your truck.

There's nothing
in there.

We'll determine that.

It's docked.
We got to go around.

Oh, my God.
Is that Dean?

This would
happen to me.

Come here, boy.
Shh.

Hey, where you going?

Come here!
Hey, come on, right now!

Right now!

Oh.

He's located
traces.

Perfect. Listen, it's late.

I got to get home to Chloe.

Can you, uh, take
care of the booking?

Are you serious?
Yeah.

Wow. Thank you.

Ms. Paulson, you're under arrest
for the possession

and trafficking
illegal narcotics.

What?!
Anything you say

can and will be used...

That was so close.
I know.

The universe just doesn't
want me to be happy.

Okay, Chloe, where
are your keys?

I don't know.

Perfect.

Josh, what is that?

Uh, some guy just pulled
into the driveway.

Oh, God. He's gonna
go all cop on me.

What does that mean?

Her dad's a cop.

What the hell is going on?

Chloe got a little sick
at a party,

but now she's fine, so...

You were at a party?
You're supposed to be grounded.

Like I care.

Get inside now,
straight upstairs.

Oh. Thanks, Murphy.

Yeah, no problem.

Why will you not listen to me?

For the last time,
ever!

Do you understand?

You're welcome
for saving her.

The only person
she needs

saving from is you, Murphy.

Really?

You want to go there?

She is a good kid,
and you are corrupting her.

are corrupting her.

I'm a good father.

You're so delusional.

You think that just because
you can get away with murder

that that makes you
a good father?

Go home.
Enjoy your hangover.

Yeah, tell Chloe the same.

Chlo.

So, uh, you gonna tell me
what the hell that was?

Uh, we sort of dated.

Ah.

He and Chloe-- they came
into Guiding Hope last year

'cause she was, you know,

thinking about
getting a guide dog,

and, uh, we hit it off,
but things did not end well.

Well, I sensed
some tension.

And the thing I said about
getting away with murder, um...

Oh, no. No, no
need to explain.

I know all about
police brutality

in this country.
Good for you

for not shying away from it.

Uh, right. Yep.

Well, I just didn't mean for you
to get in the middle.

Well, I'm happy to be your eyes
while I have 'em.

The car's here.

Okay. Come on, hurry.
Help me get her legs.

Okay.

Okay.

Help me with her head.
Yeah.

Okay. Good.

Make sure she
doesn't pass out.

You got to stay awake, Nia.
You got to stay awake.

What's going on?

Listening to see
if she's breathing okay.

You're gonna be okay.

Okay, I need to do a
needle decompre... I...

I need to reduce the pressure
that's building up in her chest.

Is that safe?
No. Safe would be
going to the hospital.

I'm gonna get her
some painkillers.

Nia? Look at me.

What the hell?!

What?
I don't... The key to
my medicine cabinet is gone.

Are you serious?
Yes. Okay.

What drugs are here?
What?

The drugs that you're hiding
here-- what are they?

Just heroin.

That's morphine.
It'll work.

It's ready.

Syringes are in the second
drawer on your right.

Okay, give me the needle.

Come here.
I need you to hold this.

Okay?

(rhythmic whooshing
and beeping)

Right here?

Okay. Can you keep her
steady, please? Thank you.

Is everything okay?
Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I think so.

You do know in the States

guys don't actually
have to walk girls

all the way to
their doors, right?

Yeah.

Well, I'm just being polite.

I appreciate it.

All right, well...

I should...

I'll get going.

You don't want to share
this joint I stole

from a 15-year-old?

I really shouldn't.

Do you do anything fun?

I'm a federal officer.

Oh.

Just get in here.

You take yourself so seriously.

You make it sound
like you, like...

like you're
fighting crimes.

Well, I am, actually.

Okay.

Has anyone ever told
you you're not nice?

You're actually
pretty mean.

Oh, everybody.

Oh.

Yeah, whatever. I'm gonna
lose my job anyway.

You can actually
lose your job

from smoking weed?

Mm. Yeah, and for being blind.

Well, you can't lose
your job; you just,

you get transferred to one
of the boring divisions.

I don't really understand
why you need your sight

to, like, make sure people are
paying their taxes, you know?

Well, again, that's not my job.

I'm IRS-CI.

Mm.
It means I use

money trails to
investigate criminals.

You're, like, a math cop.
Yeah.

Yeah, well, I found a way
to catch bad guys

my own way.

Spreadsheets.
Mm.

Spreadsheets.

So, you're after some
drug lord or something

and you're gonna put them
in math jail?

Well, I'm actually
onto a woman right now.

Wow.
Yeah.

We really are taking over.

Yeah.

Yeah, I've been...
I've been...

searching for her for, like,
two years, and I have...

well, I have zilch.

Mm.

Well, you know,
it would be really great

to get her before...

before lights out, you know?

Yeah.

I don't want to...

I-I don't want to... I...

Oh, my God. No. What?

I'm... No, I'm sorry.
Okay.

I mean, I didn't...
I don't want it.
Okay,

it's just, you know,
the last time...

I know.
I was in a weird mood that day.

To be honest
with you,

being with another
blind person, I...

I get it.
Hmm.

When I got diagnosed, my mom,
she forced me to hang out

with this blind dude
from another school

who was already blind--

you know,
he was, like, born blind.

And she wanted us to date.

Oh, God. Like you're the
only two pandas at the zoo?

Yes. And I was

so weirded out by him
that I escaped

through the bathroom window,
and I walked to Jess's house.

No, you didn't. No.
Swear to God.

Well, that makes me feel better.

Why?

I've been planning on escaping

out your window this whole time.

What time is it?

1:00.
Okay, good.

We can keep her here
for a couple more hours.

Jess.

Thank you.

I did what
anybody would do.

That's not true.

Gary, where's
the shipment?

Never came.

What are you
talking about?

Truck didn't show.

What's up?

Where the hell's the shipment?

Truck just got busted.
We're working on it.

I need it.

I owe some guys product.

This... dude jumped me.

I said we're working on it.

I got to go.

All right, we need
to get her out of here.

Okay. Get her legs.

I'm worried about
carrying her to the car.

We're not...

not strong enough
to keep her stable, so...

is there someone else
we can call?

Well, thanks for a...

a weird night.

Anytime.

I almost forgot.

Got you your own
pack of puff paint,

so you don't get fired.

Thank you.
I guess I'll tell Pam

I'm into, like,
scrapbooking or something.

Good night, Murphy.

Good night.

She's good.

Sam's with her in the car.

I can drive her.

All right, um, you need
to clean the bullet wound

a couple times a day.

And, uh, she needs...

antibiotics, but that's gonna
have to wait until tomorrow,

because...
I can't find my key.

Thanks.
Mm-hmm.

Sam told me what happened.

You okay?

No.

Nia's lucky
you were there, Jess.

Wasn't my choice.

What the hell did you do?

Josiah wanted to take Nia down,

and we weren't getting that done
with your plan.

Well, she's still alive, bro,

and she knows it was
one of Josiah's guys.

I thought I got a good shot.

You went in alone
to kill Nia Bailey?

How dumb are you?

I?

This whole thing was your idea,

and so far I'm the only
one doing anything.

Josiah's running
out of patience.

I'll talk to him.

I'll take the hit
for both of us,

tell him I messed up, and you
had nothing to do with it.

When I came to you,

I was being emotional
and stupid...

and I got us both
into a really bad situation.

I'll go wait at the arcade
until Josiah gets there.

Take care of yourself.

Jess?

God, there you are.

Where have you been?

So much to tell you.

I know you're hiding drugs
at Guiding Hope, Murphy.

You what?
I found out
from Nia.

She tried to kill me because
she said if you can't trust me,

she can't trust me, so...

What?

Jess, that's...

We were trying
to protect you.

Jess.

Oh, my God.
