In the Dark (2019–…): Season 3, Episode 1 - Hanging by a Thread - full transcript

Previously oN ln the
Dark... You want us to

launder money for you? You
keep your company, I keep mine.

It's very lucrative.

There's no way
Felix or Jess w...

No, they in. They were in
when they stole my money.

JOSH: That woman we're after,

she's expecting a big
shipment that we'll intercept,

and then she'll be
done, because of me.

They're planning on intercepting
it at the warehouse.

So you can redirect the shipment

to Guiding Hope and
then disperse it



to your other stash
houses from there.

NIA: Well, it can't
gonna fit in that safe.

MURPHY: We have a basement.

I may be able to get
us out of this. Really?

I started working
with someone else.

Someone who can take Nia down

if you just help me.

I'm gonna kill that bitch.

[gunshots]

♪

Come here. Come here.

MURPHY: You're no good for
me, I'm no good for you.

I think maybe it's
time that we move on.

I'm not coming back
this time, Murphy.



JOSH: Who's this? MURPHY:
That would be my ex.

Your ex-boyfriend is Max Parish?

Were you the new launderer?

We didn't have a choice.
Everyone has a choice.

Did you kill Nia Bailey?

Because if you did,

I won't let you
get away with it.

Murphy! Murphy, where are you?

[panting]

Where's my phone?

Where's my phone?

Murphy!

JESS: He's been
in there forever.

What is he doing?
MURPHY: I don't know.

FELIX: I can't believe you just
left him in your apartment.

MURPHY: I panicked.

He kept accusing me of
killing Nia and I...

I don't know, I ran. I
needed a second to think.

Do you realize how guilty
running makes you look?

Very guilty. Guilty people run.

That's what guilty people do.

What was I supposed to do?

Uh, deny it? I did.

Say, "I didn't do it."

I did say I didn't do it
and he didn't believe me.

Plus there's nothing in there
that could incriminate us.

[shushes] There he is. You
guys, get down, get down.

What is he doing?

I think he's walking
to the train.

Did he take anything?

No, it doesn't look like it.

Look, even if he
takes this to someone,

all he has is what
Murphy said to him.

I mean, he has no evidence.
It's-it's her word against his.

So... No, wait.

What? What if he
was recording her?

I took his phone.

JESS: Great.

Look, guys, I think
we just pretend

like this never happened.

The more we white Bronco it,
the worse we're gonna look.

So, I say we just kind of
lay low, fly under the radar.

No, we can't lay low.

We can't just law low.
Josh is not gonna quit.

Once again, he doesn't
have any evidence.

What if he gets evidence, Felix?

How? Sterling was
terrifyingly thorough.

Okay? I think we're good.

What if, what-what
if...? JESS: Murphy. No.

Felix is right.

Let's go to work.

All right. Whatever.

Let's go to work.

♪ When I was just
a little girl ♪

♪ I asked my mother

♪ "What will I be?

♪ "Will I be pretty?

♪ Will I be rich?"

♪ Here's what she said to me

♪ Que sera, sera

♪ Whatever will be, will be...

♪

Look, I'm sorry I went to
the DEA about busting Dean,

but I did come to you
first and I was right.

Dean was working for Nia.

Yeah, it's terrible.

He must have really
struggled with Chloe.

The thing is,

I think Dean might have
killed this kid Tyson Parker.

Hey, Clemens, and
what are you gonna do?

Put a dead cop on trial?

Maybe. Yeah.

I mean, Dean dies the day
after Nia goes missing?

Plus that Tyson Parker
kid worked for Nia.

This is all connected, Chief.
Gene, I've been here a long time.

I don't condone anything that
Dean did, but he was one of us.

And if you can't wrap your
head around that concept,

we are gonna have to have

a completely different
conversation, you understand?

No. I don't understand.

Because that was an
innocent 15-year-old kid.

You don't even want
to look into it?

Clemens, you work in narcotics.

Stop trying to solve
homicide cases.

Nia Bailey is missing, as
is her cartel shipment.

Seems like you might want
to be focused on that.

You got it?

Yeah, I got it.

Good. Close the door
on your way out.

Yes, sir.

♪ Ooh, whoa

[door closes]

♪ Ooh, whoa

[door opens]

[clears throat] Welcome
to Guiding Hope.

JOSH: Hello, Murphy.

♪ Ooh, whoa.

Hi. How can I help you?

This is my supervisor,
Agent Reveles.

RYAN: We're conducting
a field audit.

Could we speak to
whoever's in charge?

Yes. Um... Yeah.

Uh, Felix? Can you
come out here, please?

[chuckles]: Hey. What's,
uh, what's going on?

RYAN: IRS field audit.

We're gonna need access to
your books and bank accounts.

All right. Hello. Hi.

JOSH: Since I can't arrest you

for the murder of
Nia Bailey yet,

I'll get you on money laundering

until I find enough
evidence for the murder.

Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.

Hey, what's up, Miller?

Yeah, you holding up okay?

[exhales] Yeah, I'm-I'm fine.

It's weird, right?

Dean, he always seemed
nice to me, but...

Well, it's just too bad.

Yeah. A real shame.

Nah, his poor daughter.

Do you know who's
taking care of her?

Uh, yeah, his
brother.Hmm. That's good.

Well, listen, you need
anything, you let me know.

Oh, actually,
Miller, um... Yeah?

Uh...

How close were you
to Jules Becker?

I know you both worked homicide.

Not very. Why?

I'm just trying to
figure out what she knew

about this kid Tyson Parker.

I mean, his file is bare.

I just... I don't know,

I thought that maybe
she told you something.

Nah. Sorry.

Was anyone here
friends with her?

Well, I mean, Dean, right?

And that other girl.

What other girl?

Sign in here and
I need your I.D.

Who are you here to see? Um...

Uh, you, actually.
You're-you're Sarah Barnes?

Yeah.

Used to work for CPD?

Yeah.

Uh, we-we haven't met yet.

I'm Gene Clemens,
narcs district 23.

I must have started
right after you quit.

I didn't quit, and apparently
you're the one who took my job.

Your file said you resigned.

Mm, of course.

Well, look, I wanted to talk
to you about Jules Becker.

I know you two were close.

Um... [clears throat]

I'll take a break in ten

and I'll meet you at the
coffee truck over there.

Okay.

Murphy, um, tell me, uh, news

about, uh, recent
puppies... Updates?

Um... On the puppies?

Yeah, we're just waiting
for the new litter

to be born and then once
they are... Ah, yes.

Yeah, once they are, I'll
do my vet thing. Yeah.

Yeah, they nee... Yeah,
they... Yeah. Got it.

We have to take these.

Yeah, sure, yeah, no problem.

JESS: Thank you.

Thanks. Uh...

Drive safe!

Buckle up. [Chuckles]

[Jess exhales][whispers]:
Okay, they're gone.

Okay, do you think there's
anything in there that would...

No, I'm not that
stupid. We're good.

Okay. We're fine.

We're not good.

We're not good.

It took Josh a whole five hours

to show up at our door

on an official investigation.

He's not gonna stop.

Well, he's not gonna
find anything, either.

Right, yeah, what are
you suggesting, Murphy?

That we kill Josh, too?

Yes, Jess, I'm suggesting
that we murder Josh.

Guys! Please

stop saying those
things out loud.

The IRS just left
the building, okay?

The point is, he... Josh,

he can't have his job.

So you need to... we need to
find the number of the, of his...

That... his boss, the...
that Reveles chick.

And do what?

Well, I know he's been lying
about his vision, so I...

No, no, automatic no.
Oh, no. We're not...

You want to just sit here
and let him come after us?

No, I don't want to give
him any more ammunition.

FELIX: All he has right now

is some good old Murphy hatred

and a bunch of
paperwork that proves

we are a nonprofit
501c3 organization

that gives away Seeing Eye
dogs to people who need them.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay? The horror.

It's not a big deal. I love that you
don't think any of this is horror.

I don't see it.

GENE: So, not only did Dean

murder an innocent
15-year-old kid,

but he also had his
own partner killed?

That's what Darnell
said at Jules's funeral.

Sorry, just, this is...

This is a lot to
take in right now.

Just, that dude literally
made me pancakes at his house,

like, less than a week ago.

[chuckles] Wow.

And you live to tell the tale.

[laughs] Somehow.

So wait a minute. Did you,
did you tell anyone else?

Chief.

And the next day, I
was forced to resign

for police misconduct.

He's in on it. I knew it.

I just need to figure out
how to prove what Dean did,

and then prove that the
chief covered it up.

Then it's game over.

I'd start with Murphy Mason.

She was in that
accident with Dean.

After I got fired, I talked
to the arresting officer.

She had some evidence
that got him arrested.

She didn't tell me that.

You know what that
was? I don't know.

Chief showed up, and it
magically disappeared.

Of course it
magically disappeared.

Okay, I'll get it out of her.

Godspeed.

Jules says she's
a bit of a psycho.

[laughs]: A little bit.

But I think I can
handle her. Oh, yeah?

Mm-hmm.

[laughs] Come on,
now, you got to have

a little bit more faith in
your replacement.[laughs]

I'm trying.

Hi, Ms. Reveles.

This is, uh, Karen Banks.

I'm calling from the Chicago
Institute for the Blind.

Hi. Um, I'm-I'm calling
about one of your employees,

uh, Joshua Wallace.

He came in for
mobility training,

and I just need to confirm
his employment for, um,

for insurance purposes.

Yeah, severe vision loss.

RYAN: If you're losing your sight,
I need to know, Agent Wallace.

JOSH: But that call was
fake. It's not true.

RYAN: Well, let's
have you take a test.

WOMAN: Josh Wallace?
We're ready for you.

Read the second line for me.

Um...

E.

K.

Try again.

Um...

P.

G.

L.

Uh, let's try the first line.

Um...

M?

No, uh, K?

[sighs] Josh is here, Murphy.

Looks like he just
cleaned out his desk.

Hi.

Hi.

Uh, I'll meet you
upstairs in a second.

[clears throat] Yeah.

I just lost my job.

Oh, that sucks.

Are you okay?

Don't do that.
It's embarrassing.

Do what? Pretend like you care,

when you were the
one who did it.

I-I don't know what
you're talking about.

I didn't do mobility training.

I'm just here to get my phone.

I-I really need it...
and I know you took it.

What? No, I didn't. I...

You probably dropped
it somewhere.

Yeah, on your bed.

I have personal stuff on there.

Stuff I need. I don't have it.

Go buy a new one.

[short chuckle]

Wow, you really are
an awful person.

Cool. Forward.

No, no, no, no. Seriously...
Forward, Pretzel.

I'm not even being hyperbolic.
You are the worst person

I've ever met in my entire life.

And I'm gonna
prove what you did,

with or without my job.

Do you hear me?

With or without my job.

Sorry. She said
she's not coming.

Can you, uh, can you give
her a message for me?

Tell her I know it was Murphy.

[lock buzzes]

Josh Wallace. IRS CI.

Well, was.

I know you don't talk to Feds,

but if it makes you
feel any better,

I did just get fired today.

Okay, look, I'll just
cut to the chase.

I know Nia Bailey didn't run.

And I also know that she's dead,

and I believe Murphy
Mason is responsible.

I've been looking into your
operation for a long time.

I know how much you loved Nia.

And now you can bring
her killer to justice.

Hey, it's not the way
you want to do it, but

it's better than nothing.

You're out of options.

You're gonna be in here
for the rest of your life.

Sam

is there any information
you could help me with?

My ex-girlfriend helped them.

And I taught her
everything she knows,

including the best
place near Chicago

to bury a body is
Lynwood Forest.

So if you're looking
for Nia, I'd look there.

Thank you. Thank you.

♪

[knocking]

Who is it?

GENE: Officer Gene Clemens.

I got to talk to you, Murphy.

[quietly]: What do, what
do you think he wants?

I don't know.

Okay, well, get
rid of him. Really?

'Cause I was gonna invite
him in for a margarita.

Sup?

Hey.

It's about Tyson Parker.

I heard that you were there the
night that Dean was arrested,

and you had something on him.

It was nothing.

Uh, just all a big
misunderstanding.

That's why they let him go.

Come on, we both
know that's not true.

I thought you wanted justice
for your friend, Murphy.

Nothing's gonna
bring Tyson back.

So I'm just trying to move on.

Murphy... Um, but
it's really late,

and, uh, I'm gonna go to bed.

[siren wailing in distance]

Thank you for not doing that.

Yeah, Jess, let me talk
to a cop about Tyson,

who was working for Nia.

There's nothing
stupid about that.

[door opens]

Oh, my God, it's

it's freezing. It's,
like, one degree in here.

Yeah. The heater broke,

and I can't get
anyone over to fix it.

Oh, and, uh, very
cool job, by the way,

on getting Josh fired
behind our backs.

Wait, shut up. Is
this... button missing?

What? Wait, this button,

it-it...

This button's missing, right?

Yeah.

Why?

Oh, my God.

[sighs]

I think it fell
off in the woods.

Okay

how do you know it didn't
fall off before then

or after then? Because I

haven't buttoned it up
since, and I-I haven't...

I remember buttoning it up
in the car on the way there.

Okay. Um

well, do you remember
unbuttoning it?

I mean, technically, I didn't.

Max did.

Why was Max unbuttoning...

Why do you think, Felix?

Oh.

Seriously? Graveside?

It just happened. And, I mean,

he all of a sudden was,
like, ripping off my clothes,

and he wasn't

gentle, per se.[sputters]

But I know where it is.

I know, I know it's there.

Okay. All right.

We should go back and get it.

What? JESS: Go back and get it?

Are you insane? FELIX: It's
a needle in a haystack.

Not to mention, extremely risky.

So therefore,

we're never going back
there, ever, ever, ever,

because we cannot
be spotted there.

What if someone
finds the button,

with my DNA on it, and then
the bodies turn up there?

It's a button! It's a button,

a little tiny button,

in miles and miles of forest.

Let's say a hiker does
happen upon the button...

What do you think's
gonna happen?

He's gonna look at the button
and say, "Hold the phone",

"I don't know, I think
there's some bodies buried

"beneath that button.

"Grab a shovel, guys." Get real.

Listen, I understand
that you are very bored

with our regular life,

but I need you to
just start living it.

It is not about
that. Yes, it is.

Now, sit down at your
desk, answer the phone,

pretend to actually work

when I walk by.

Normal. Normal stuff.

Okay? Please.

I'm gonna go fix the heater.

Come on.

Jess, can you please take me?

No.

No, you've done enough, Murphy.

[door opens]

JESS: Hey. We need
to get to work.

[grunts]

I'll just meet you
there in a couple hours.

Uh...

I drank too much last night,

so I'm feeling pukey.

Okay, yeah, I'll
see you later, then.

[door closes]

MAX: Unbelievable.

[sighs]

Max.Nope.

I have nothing to say
to you. Max, please.

Please, I'm freaking out.

I'm worried we're
gonna get caught.

[sighs]

♪

I'm not getting
dragged back into this.

You're on your own.

This is not just my fault.

Okay? If you hadn't
ripped off my jacket

like a horny little teenager,

I wouldn't be in this situation.

Wewouldn't be in this situation

had you not called your
IRS agent boyfriend

at 4:00 in the morning.

I don't know why you're
being so dismissive

about the fact that
your... your semen, Max,

could be literally everywhere.

You know exactly
where my semen went.

I'm good.

I have nothing to worry about.

Nothing to worry about?

Max, if someone finds
that button...[door opens]

Can you guarantee
your DNA isn't on it?

[groans, chuckles softly]

It's not like I can get
there by myself either, so...

Fine, whatever.

Let's get this over with.

Coming?

Oh, great.

[car door opens]Good.
No, that's good. Okay.

Yeah, we sh... Yeah, okay.

Here I come.

Hey.

You're late. Yeah, well,

I had to watch ten
million YouTube tutorials

on how to fix a heater and
then go to five hardware stores

to find the proper tools.

[sighs]You know what, Felix,

I don't care because
it is so cold in here.

Everything is numb.

Like I can't-I can't...
I can't feel my boobs.

Let me grab my manifold gauge

because apparently I
know what that is now.

Where's Murphy?

Hungover.

What?

[scoffs]

It's as if you
just met the woman.

[sighs] Felix, what
are you talking about?

She's hungover all the time.

Yeah, that's true.

But also true is
that she becomes

irrationally obsessed
with specific ideas

and cannot focus on anything
else until it's done.

Meaning...?

Meaning

she went to go get
that stupid, idiotic,

tiny, meaningless,
stupid, stupid button.

No, she's not... that's
obviously a bit of a stretch.

Oh, really? Because we left
her alone for two seconds

and she managed to get
a federal agent fired.

Right, okay, but

how would she have
even gotten there?

An Uber, a bus,

she made sweet love to some dude

she met in a bar in
exchange for a ride.

She's Murphy. Check
your stalker app.

Okay, we'll check my
stalker app, Felix.

But it's just gonna
tell me that she's...

In the woods?

Is she in the woods?

No.

Okay, well, where is she?

I'm not going to be mad,
and I don't blame you,

but we need to know where
she is, so just tell me.

She's on her way to the woods.

Moron! Moron! What?

Why would you leave
her home alone?

She's my best friend

and I obviously trusted her.

Have you learned nothing? Wh...

Okay, so, say she does go there,

and she, um, finds the button,

[phone line ringing]what...
what's the big deal?

The big deal

is that she's never
going to find it

and then she's going
to be out there

for the next hundred
days tapping away

until, finally,
someone notices her.

[recorded]: Hi, it's Murphy.
Leave a message. Voice mail.

Okay, I'm calling her.

[phone line ringing]She's not
going to answer your call either.

Hi, it's Murphy. Leave a message.
All right, well, then let's go!

Felix, let's go to
the woods, okay?!

Yeah, no doy.

[sighs]

Are you seriously not
gonna talk to me at all?

Nope.

Cool.

Well, for what it's worth,
I appreciate you doing this.

I'm not doing this for you.

I just never want to
go back to prison.

And, so, I believe that
Nia Bailey has not fled,

but is in fact dead.

You'll find her body
at Lynwood Forest.

Prime suspect: Murphy Mason.

Okay, look,

even if your theory's correct,

we cannot allocate hundreds
of thousands of dollars

in resources based on
something a felon told you.

GENE: Come on, Chief,
it sounds like something

at least worth looking into.

No. No, it's not worth our time.

Sorry.

Very well.

[door closes]Thank you.

Hey, Sarah, it's,
uh, Gene, from CPD.

Oh. Gene, hi.

Uh, what happened?

Did you talk to Murphy?

Yeah, yeah, a couple days ago.

She sort of
stonewalled me, but, uh

something huge just
landed in my lap.

This kid from IRS CI
thinks that Murphy

killed Nia Bailey.

Seriously?

Yeah. The chief put the
kibosh on the search crew.

You should've seen his face.

He clearly doesn't want Murphy
anywhere around here. But

if I can arrest her for this,

then I can just
cut a deal with her

and get her to testify
against the chief.

Well, it sounds like you've
got it all figured out.

What do you need me for?

Nothing.

I was just-I was just excited.

Oh, I-I gotta go, I gotta go.

Yo, Josh.

Officer Clemens.

Nah, Gene's fine, man.

Okay, Gene.

That was brutal in
there, man. Thanks.

Look, I want to help you.

I think you're
right about Murphy.

What?

I say we go to the forest,
see if we can find Nia's body.

Um, I just got denied. No, no.

We can. Like me and you.Wh...

It's over 6,000
acres. Okay, you, sir,

need a more positive
attitude, all right?

We can just tell my boss

that you're gonna help me
find the cartel shipment,

which I'm supposed
to be doing anyway.

Why do you want to help
an unemployed blind guy?

I just want justice, man.

Just like you.

Thank you?

Okay.

Oh. I'm sorry.

Sorry, I didn't see
it. No, it's okay.

That's actually really
embarrassing. No, no, no.

It's a-it's a... you know what?

I'm more of a hugger anyway.

That's the first time that's
actually ever happened.

Well, I'm glad it
happened with me.

So how are we supposed
to do this anyway?

Well, like, without
dogs or-or radar.

Come on, man, you
think Sherlock Holmes

had ground penetrating
radar? I'm right here.

Uh, Sherlock Holmes was
a fictional character.

Yeah, but based on,
like, a real person.

No, he wasn't.

Uh, yuh-huh.

Joseph Bell. He was a surgeon.

See? Not just a pretty face.

Okay, uh, so, what
do you suggest?

Well, they didn't
just carry a body

into the woods from
the road, right?

That's just too risky,

so I think that they drove in,

then took the body
out of the car.

Now, there's not that many
entrances into the woods,

it's a dense forest, so I think

we should get some shovels,
find out where they went in,

follow the tire tracks, dig.

That's, um...
that's not terrible.

It's a lot funner than, uh,
filing tax returns, huh?

Yeah, I never actually
filed tax returns.

♪

[door lock clicking]

Okay, can you not do that?

Oh, look who decided to speak.

[phone chimes]

AUTOMATED VOICE: Text
from Mom. You okay?

I haven't heard from you
in a couple of days.[sighs]

Go away.

Why do you have two phones?

One isn't mine.

[scoffs]

Whose is it?

It doesn't matter.

Hey.

Max.

Nice, Murph. He
came over to get it

and he was so desperate
for his phone back

that I got paranoid that there
was something on us in there.

There wasn't, right?

No.Okay, you-you checked?

Jess did.

She checked, there's nothing.

She checked all the texts
and e-mails and stuff.

But he wouldn't need his phone
to check any of that stuff.

You can do that from literally
anywhere with Internet.

If he wanted this
phone back so badly,

he must need, like,
photos or notes

or something that he
didn't save to the cloud.

Right. That's a good
point. Ooh, hang on.

He's got tons of voice
notes labeled with names.

Probably his cases.

Well, you're one of them.

I am? Yeah.

Play it.

JOSH [recorded]: Murphy Mason.

When she smiles,
like really smiles,

which is rare, she has
these matching dimples.

It's really quite cute.

What is this? Just turn it
off. Turn it off. It's...

[recording stops]Oh, whatever.

He's trying to remember
what people look like.

I did the same thing
when I was at his stage.

I-I wrote myself descriptions

of literally everyone I knew.

I mean, his accountant
is probably on there.

I don't care.

I'm just happy there isn't
anything incriminating on it.

Yeah.

MURPHY: You sure no
one will find us?

MAX: Yes, I drove,
like, a mile in

and I'm covering our tracks.

I obviously didn't know
that was on his phone.

It's fine.

It's not fine. I
feel really bad.

You feel bad? Aw.

You want a hug? Max.

Look, I'm not here
to give you closure.

I just want to find
this stupid button,

so I never have
to see you again.

on. Move. Move. Go.

I'm going. Forward,
forward, Murphy, forward.

Walk in a straight line.

[brakes squeak]

FELIX: We've got her?

JESS: Yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, um...

Okay, it looks like...

Uh... what?

Uh... What's it saying?

Sh... she's this way. This way.

Come on.

[Max sighs]

Well, this is where
we buried them.

We had sex like... I don't know,

pick any one of these
thousands of trees, Murphy.

Cool.

[scoffs]

Let's just... let's just
start this way, okay?

MURPHY: Okay.

I'm not seeing any entrance
big enough for a car yet.

You sure it's these woods?

This is what Sam told me.

GENE: Whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on.

JOSH: What?

I think that's Felix Bell's car.

That blue clunker.

They left it here.

Or maybe they came back.

Let me see?

It is.

[laughs] The license
plate matches.

Oh, my God.

You think they're really stupid
enough to come back here?

Murphy's paranoid.

It's like when you
drive back to the house

to check you've locked it up.

That's probably
what she's doing.

I do a little dance.

What?

When I lock up my house.

I do a little dance, you know?

You can never forget when
you do a little dance.

You can't forget
that kind of thing.

Can we focus on this, please?

All right, so, what,
if we see them,

we can't arrest them yet, right?

No, but if we find Nia's body

and we get a sighting of them

it's over.

Hey, check this out.

What? Amateurs.

They didn't even
cover up their tracks.

[chuckles] This is great.

You just had to leave
her alone, didn't you?

I'm not her babysitter, Felix.

Oh, yeah, you just make
her dinner, put her to bed,

wake her up, give her medicine
when she's feeling sicky.

You know what, how
about I murder you

and bury your body in the woods?

Anything?

Yes, Murphy.

Found it, hours ago.

Then decided not to tell you
because I'm having so much fun.

Just keep looking.

Yeah, I am.

FELIX: Hello! MAX: Oh, great.

Hi, Murphy... what, are
you guys having sex again?

Jess? Yeah.

Hi, you feeling nauseous still?

MURPHY: You guys,
get out of here!

Just go home! We got this.

Murphy, you don't
"got this," okay?

I remember when I was a kid

we, uh... I was at a camp.

These two kids went missing...

Can we please all get
the hell out of here?

I'm not going anywhere! I
need to find the button!

[Gene talking in distance]MAX:
Guys, guys, shut up.

Shh, shh, shh.

Did you hear that?

I think that's Josh.

It's Josh?

GENE: Chicago PD! Freeze!

Did you see them?

No.

Huh. Must have been
a deer or something.

JOSH: Wait, wait, wait.

The tracks go round and round.

I think this might
be where Nia is.

JOSH: It's worth a shot.

Sam said Sterling
would have buried her

at least six feet deep, so

better get started.
Yeah, you're right.

Hang on. I'm gonna wee.

I need the bag. The
plastic bag. Hold on.

Here, look, look.
Whatcha got? Whatcha got?

It's a button.

From Murphy's jacket.
It's the same color.

GENE: Wait, wait,
wait, let me see.

There's blood on this, man.

[branch snaps]

Hey! Hey!

Let's go, let's go,
let's go, let's go!

[grunts]

JOSH: Damn it!

Hey, Josh, you all right?

You okay? Yeah. Sorry, man.

No, that's fine, man. I blew it.

No, they didn't carry
Nia out of here.

Come on, let's go find her.

It's fine, man...
We can't arrest them

without the body, anyway.

This is where the
footprints are.

You said they buried her
at least six feet deep?

Yeah, that's what Sam said.

Okay.

Then we better start digging.

♪

Hey.

What the hell were
you guys doing there?

I had it under control.

Us? What the hell were
you two doing there?

Yeah. We all decided not to
go, Murphy. No, you decided.

I can't believe I listened to you
again! This is not just my fault!

I don't understand how
it's my fault at all.

Oh! What? It's not your fault?

Max and I, we... we
actually covered our tracks.

Oh... We actually hid our car.

You guys led Josh and Gene

straight to us.

Covered your tracks? Wow!

You covered your tracks?! You
guys had sex over the grave!

Shut up!

[exhales]

MAX: Look

we can point fingers all
day, but what's done is done.

They're gonna find Murphy's DNA,

probably mine, too.

All our footprints, by the way.

And it's only a matter of time
before they find the bodies.

It's over.

[spits]

Hey. I hit something.

[both gasp]

Dude,

there's two bodies in here.

All right, lift 'em up.

[groans]Hey, Chief.

Not a word, Clemens.
Look, I-I know. I know.

But Nia Bailey's body?

I mean, that's got to be
huge for the precinct, right?

I'm handing the Nia Bailey
case over to Warren.

Warren?

He's, like, 100.

You're on desk duty.

Meantime, I've been up all
night dealing with all this,

so I'm headed home
to get some sleep.

So should you.

What are you guys,
the Hardy Boys?

Come on, man.

I thought you said this whole
Dean thing was gonna go away.

[sighs]: Yeah,
well, I didn't know

Nia Bailey's body
was gonna surface.

[scoffs]

So now you have all these people

looking for the
one girl that knows

that you covered up a murder?

Please, keep it down, Chris.

It's not "all these people."

It's two guys, and
they're idiots.

But you're the boss.

Just tell them to stop.

Put them on something else.

I took them off the case.

Nobody's gonna find
her. I promise.

Okay.

[elevator bell dings]

Where are we going?

We're gonna go solve this thing.

I'm not handing
it off to Warren.

He's in the chief's pocket.

So, what,

you want to solve this today?

Okay. You know, you would think

that after uncovering two
bodies with our bare hands,

you'd have just a
little bit of faith.

Hey, Lydia.Hey.

This is my friend Josh. He's
helping me out on the case.

Well, I wish that it
were more of a case.

There was nothing on
the bodies you found.

They were scrubbed
heavily with bleach.

Wasn't the other guy they
killed their receptionist?

Yeah, but preliminary reports
show Benjamin Wakefield

wasn't killed.

It looks like an
opioid overdose.

More proof showing
Murphy's involved.

That's conjecture.

There was one thing
that might help.

You know that
button you gave me?

There were two strains
of blood on it. So

one is a match for Nia Bailey.

The other one's
not in our system.

I'd bet my life that's Murphy's.

I'll get a warrant to collect a
DNA sample from her apartment.

Thank you so much, Lydia.

Didn't I tell you to have
some faith? Have faith.

Every time.
