In the Dark (2019–…): Season 3, Episode 4 - Safe and Sound - full transcript
With Murphy still on the run, Josiah enlists Darnell to try to track her down.
- Hello?
- Hi.
- Oh, th-thank God you answered.
- Who's this?
Oh, um,
m-my name's Michael,
and, uh,
I'm-I'm a friend of, uh...
Sort of... of-of Lorri Benson's.
- I don't know a Lorri Benson.
- Your number was in her phone.
Stop calling me.
- I said I don't know...
- Darnell. Darnell.
Hey, man, it's Trey.
I just spoke to Josiah
And he wants to
see you right away.
What?
All right.
Yeah, yeah.
You can go in.
Jessica claims she has no
way of getting in touch with Murphy.
So, that's where you come in.
Can't you just...
Please let her go.
You promised me
if I got you Nia's guys,
you'd protect them.
That was before I found out
she skimmed 50 bricks
off the stash.
They didn't skim.
They were in the middle of
getting the stash,
heard the sirens
a-and had to bail
before they could
get everything.
All I know
is that I'm out $300,000.
And if your little friends
don't compensate me, well, then,
I kill the girl
in the basement.
Here you go.
Come on. I'm supposed
to make sure you eat.

Season 03 Episode 04
Episode Title: "The Ventrexian"
Aired on: July 14, 2021.
- Hello?
- Hey, Cindy.
It's Darnell.
Look, I sent you
some people the other day.
Can I get their new names?
Why don't you ask Josiah?
His guys held me at gunpoint
for them.
Oh, my God. I'm...
I'm so sorry.
Look, I just...
I really need to find them,
and I can't find them
without the names they're using.
- Please, Cindy.
- Ugh, all right.
Kyle Green,
Jennifer Walker, Gordon Howard
and Lorri Benson.
Wait.
Did you say Lorri Benson?
Yeah.
Okay. Thank you.
Thank you, thank you.
- Hello?
- Hey.
Uh, you called me earlier
about Lorri?
Yeah. I thought you said
you didn't know her.
Yeah.
Well, uh, turns out I do.
You know where she is?
Yeah, that's what
I was trying to tell you.
She's stuck
on the side of the road.
What? Where?
Um, o-on Route 11.
Just outside of Rainy River.
That is, if she hasn't already
hitched a ride or something.
Okay.
I will go get her.
You tell me
exactly where she is.
Okay.
They fled to Canada.
I can go there
and get the money,
but you got to give me
another couple days.
Fine.
Trey, go with him.
You said
I could trust him.
Let's see
if you were right.
Seriously?
What? You don't want to
hang with me no more?
They don't have
the money, do they?
No, they don't.
But I got a plan.
Oh, you got a plan.
Cool.
'Cause all your plans
have turned out perfectly
well in the past.
Look, Murphy's friend Felix
knows Nia's
bank account numbers.
I know her passwords.
So, if we can get to Felix,
we can empty her accounts.
- And how do we get to Felix?
- Murphy's stuck
on the side of the road
in Canada,
so if we can get to her,
we can get to him.
Stuck on the side
of the road?
- How do you know she's still there?
- I don't.
But... the kid Michael said
it's a pretty abandoned road,
- so hopefully, no one's...
- "Hopefully"?
You sound crazy right now.
Look, you don't have to come.
Actually, I do.
You heard Josiah.
I'm just as much
on the hook for this as you are.
Because I
stupidly vouched for you.
I know how much money Nia has.
It's all good.
Just figure out
how to get to Rainy River,
wherever that is.
Come on.
Let's go.
Hey!
Please help me! Stop, please!
Oh, thank God.
It's me, Darnell.
- = Darnell?
- It's about Jess.
Is she okay?
Yeah. As long as we get
him the cash by Friday.
That's tomorrow.
Don't worry.
Julian Assange over here
is gonna hack
into Nia's bank account
and steal all the money.
Which is obviously
a great plan.
We found Murphy, didn't we?
Look, I just need to get Felix
to give us the account numbers.
I don't know where he is.
- Wait, what?
- I don't know where he is.
We...
We agreed to split up
so that if one of us
got caught...
Okay, do you have his number?
No. It's in my phone.
- You have it memorized or...
- No.
It's not... You heard the girl.
She said it's in her phone.
- Don't call me "the girl." I have a name.
- I'm not really
gonna get caught up in the
pleasantries right now, shorty.
- What we're trying to do is figure...
- "Shorty"?
- Guys.
- Yes.
- I'm very tall.
- Guys. Guys!
I'll text the kid
and get the number.
That's fine, but I still need
to get my phone.
Why? Why?
I need it
in case Jess tries to call me.
Trust me,
Jess is not gonna call you.
I don't care. I need it.
Okay. All right. Look...
This is stupid.
I'm-a need a break.
Trey. What?
Trey!
What is his problem?
That guy sucks.
Don't say that.
That's my boy.
I'm sorry, Darnell,
but I need my phone.
I need my phone. That's the
only link that Jess has to me.
All right, all right.
I texted Michael.
Okay, get
in the car. You can have
your temper tantrum in the car.
We're leaving.
- Who you talking to?
- We're leaving. Ten.
- Nine. Eight.
- You talking to me?
- You Michael?
- - Yeah.
Hi.
Lorri. Uh, I-listen,
I am so sorry, okay?
I-I didn't mean
to leave you back there, okay?
It's fine. J-Just...
Can I just have my phone?
It's just my mom was nice to me
for, like, the first time
- ever, really, and-and I just couldn't...
- Brah! Just give us the phone.
Sorry. Um...
Look, there. Look,
I put a new SIM card
in it, so it should work here.
Let's hope your boy Felix
did the same thing.
You're a good kid, Michael.
See you.
Still going to voice mail.
Well, keep trying.
And what are we even doing here?
We're wasting time.
We just need to regroup
for a couple hours.
- Figure out a plan.
- Oh, why? 'Cause poor baby Trey
- was getting carsick?
- No.
- He didn't feel good?
- No.
- Does your tummy hurt?
- No, actually. I'm completely fine.
I just don't think there's a point to
driving around aimlessly.
Do you think that's a good
idea? I'm gonna get us a room.
If you think that's a
good idea, I'm down.Murphy.
I'm gonna get us a room.
Murphy, keep trying Felix.
How many rounds...
Call speed dial one.
Head on within
50 feet of the premises.
I'm on break.
Hey. I thought
we weren't supposed
to be calling each other.
Okay. Yeah,
this could work.
I mean, Guiding Hope moved
at least $2 million last month.
You have the passwords?
Yeah. I have to try
a few combos,
but I know I can get it.
Yeah? Okay. This could work.
I think this could work.
Why is your guy
wearing tights?
Felix? He-He's
wearing tights?
I'm not wearing tights.
I'm wearing leggings.
Uh, I didn't have time
to change out of my...
co... uh, uniform.
Okay? For work.
Where are you working?
And how did you
already get a job?
It doesn't matter.
Maybe we should have a little
sidebar outside, Murphy?
Just you and me?
Just a little hallway sidebar?
- Right now?
- Yeah.
Stay, Pretzel.
Sorry, guys. Back in two secs.
Oh, you have a, uh...
Oh! Sorry. I'm so sorry.
- I should've told you I was gonna...
- What is... What is it?
- You j... You had a tendril.
- What's up?
Uh...
What? What do you
mean? Oh, I mean...
No, I just wanted to
make sure, like, we're...
Are we, like... You know,
you and me, like, we're...
Is it cool? Is
everything fine?
Between us? What do you mean?
Uh...
Like,
last time we saw each other
was at the motel.
Together.
Honestly, I haven't... I haven't
even thought about it once.
Like, I-I... forgot.
We're fine. We're fine.
Come on.
Okay, cool.
Good.
I found a library a
couple miles from here
- with computers.
- We can do the transfer there.
- Let's go.
- No need.
I have a laptop in my car.
Nah, we can't use that. Why?
If the feds or Nia's people
have eyes on the accounts,
it shouldn't trace back
to any of our devices.
Hmm.
What?
Yeah, that's a good catch.
I'm so sorry, I don't...
But I did...
I'm sorry, I don't mean that
in, like, a...
uh,
like a patronizing way.
It's fine, man, whatever. I
just mean it as a compliment.
Come on, Pretzel.Uh...
Uh, no, Murphy, you-you stay.
- Murphy stays, right?
- Why?
You heard Darnell... the feds
could be tracing Nia's account
activity and if they trace it
to this specific library
and then they go
and ask the employees
about it,
don't you think the employees
are gonna remember
a-a blind woman? Whatever.
Yeah.
Oh, um.. I'll just meet
you guys in the lobby, okay?
I forgot I have to...
p-pee.
All right, hurry.
What are you doing?
Shh.
I have to put my money
in the safe.
Oh, my God, and you waited
until they left?
No, I just...
remembered just now.
Fine, yes, I did wait, okay?
But only because that Trey guy
literally stole money
from us once before.
And, also, this thing
about patronizing Darnell?
I was not being patronizing
to Darnell.
I was simply impressed
that he came up with something
that I didn't.
Which is the definition
of "patronizing."
Okay, are you seriously
insinuating that I'm, like,
racist or something?
'Cause that's crazy.
I'm not racist.
Everyone knows I'm not racist.
I'm the least racist person.
What the hell are you doing?
This is the last $2,000 I have
in the whole world, okay?
I am making sure
the safe is secure.
It's a safe.
Okay.
Do you really think Darnell
thinks that I'm, like...?
Ask him. I don't know.
It doesn't matter, but you
shouldn't keep them waiting.
Hey, thank you for meeting us.
I'm Gene Clemens,
this is Josh Wallace.
Dennis Brandt.
Nice to meet you guys.
Uh, how long's
this vehicle been here?
Well, just got called
in this morning.
The commuter said he'd seen it
for a couple days.
Has there been any other
suspicious activity in town?
No, pretty quiet, as usual.
You guys still looking
for that, uh, blind girl?
I was on patrol the
night the APB went out.
Yeah...
uh, has she been spotted?
No.
All right.
Well, look,
I'll give you these photos.
You can post them
in your station and, uh,
keep an eye out.
Uh, no, wait, wait, uh,
I-I've seen this girl.
Excuse me?
Oh, so you did see
a blind woman?
Well, yeah, no,
but she wasn't bl...
Oh, God.
Where did you see them?
Uh, Blue Ridge motel
off exit 22.
When?
That night, the night
the APB went out.
You must be joking!
Yeah, that-that-that's fair...
It never occurred to you
that a blind woman
wanted for murder
might be pretending
not to be blind?
You're not making us
look good, man.
Have a good day, guys.
Okay.
You said you know
the password, man.
She has a few,
just...
give me a sec.
Told you.
Oh!
Sorry, sorry.
She was broke.
Oh, man.
Look, I'm sorry.
We'll find another way
to get the money.
Maybe you forgot,
maybe you weren't listening,
but my ass is on the line, too.
Give me the keys.
What?
Where you going?
Doesn't matter where I'm going.
You're on your own.
- Come on, man.
- You're reckless, Darnell.
That's why everyone around you
ends up dead.
And I'm not gonna
be one of 'em.
Give me the keys.
Are you, uh, okay? Or...
Yeah. Yeah.
It's fine, let's just...
...figure out
what to do next.
Uh, okay,
I-I just, I do...
I just want to clear
the air about earlier
between us, um...
Earlier?
The stupid thing I said
in the hotel.
I was just trying
to pay you a compliment,
and I know it came out like,
"blah, blah."
Oh, yeah, no. It was fine.
Are you sure? Okay.
'Cause, like, if you do want
to talk about that to me,
I can hear that.
It's fine.
- I-I just...
- Let's just, let's just focus on the...
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Put our heads together
and think.
Yeah, okay.
You drank all the vodka?
Is this just gonna be
a thing now?
Are you just gonna show up
whenever you feel like it?
Okay, whatever.
I guess I'll just drink this.
Hi.
Hey.
This is fun.
It's like a hotel party.
Cheers.
Cheers.
I miss the Linsmore.
Me, too.
I miss everything.
Do you think
we will ever have,
like, a somewhat normal life
ever again?
Yeah.
How?
Just trust me.
Right, but...
that hasn't really
worked out for us.
Hello?
I just came to grab my stuff.
Did we get the money?
No. Nia's broke.
Where are Darnell and Felix?
I left them there.
- You left them at the library?
- Yes.
Why? What are we doing?
What's next?
I got nothing.
And they're not gonna be able
to come up with the money, so...
- I'm out of here.
- Where are you going?
Anywhere but Chicago.
What?
Hang on, no.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
Come on.
We can...
we can figure out
how to get the money.
No.
We can't.
This is an impossible task,
and Josiah knew it.
And he's punishing
all of us.
Then let's prove him wrong.
Trey, you don't want
to be on the run.
What are you gonna do?
You're gonna never see
your friends and family again?
I'm three days in, and I
can tell you that it sucks.
If we figure out how to get
the money, you can go home.
And how do you plan
on doing that?
Felix put two grand
in the safe.
There's a casino downstairs.
We can gamble.
- Oh, my God.
- It's worth a shot.
No, that's stupid.
It won't work.
Neither will running away
from Josiah.
Okay.
What's the code?
I don't know,
but I can figure it out.
I remember the tune.
He put it in,
like, ten times.
- Tune?
- Yeah.
- That was the tune.
- Okay.
Right here.
Okay.
That's two.
Two, three.
Okay, that was good.
All good.

A little luck?
Huh? Okay.Yeah. No. Yeah.
I think we should go all in.
What?
Seriously?
Yeah.
I mean, we're not gonna
get to 300 grand
by betting
a couple hundred bucks.
Plus, we're on a
roll right now.
You know what I mean?
You got to feel that...
that wave, you know?
What happened?
- Do you recognize this woman?
- Uh, yes.
She... she stayed here
with her boyfriend.
- Uh... Why?
- Oh. She was here with him?
No. Who's that?
Uh, her dude had,
like, longish hair.
This tall.
Him?
Yeah, him.
Uh... did you, did you get
their names, by chance?
Not hers, but his was, uh,
Gordon Howard.
And were they
with anyone else?
No, I... they booked two rooms,
but I didn't see their friends.
Any form of ID?
Passport? Anything?
No, they paid in cash.
Did they say where
they were going?
No. Like, that dude's name
is seriously all
I know about them.
Are they, like,
criminals or something?
Yes.
- Wow.
- But thank you.
We appreciate you.
You were very helpful.
- Anytime.
- Mm-hmm.
Of course they paid
in cash.
All right, look, we need
to call Canadian authorities,
have them put a APB out
on Gordon Howard.
Hopefully,
he's still using that name.
Okay, what if we fake
a GoFundMe account,
but for, like, a dying kid?
A dying kid?
I don't know, man.
I'm sorry, okay?
- There's got to be another way.
- There isn't.
Look, we tried.
I'm gonna go.
Don't go. Don't do that.
I told you,
you don't want to be on the run.
That's why I think I'm gonna go
back and tell Josiah everything.
Hopefully, he understands
that it wasn't my fault.
Yeah, that'll work.
He's so, uh, reasonable.
Nice guy.
Yeah, good idea.
It's worth a shot.
And then what,
you're just gonna let
Darnell take the hit?
I have to.
God, we have a...
totally different
view on...
how friendship works.
Okay, yeah, that's cute.
But I don't need your advice.
I gotta do me.
Why are guys so annoying?
You're...
you're clearly trying
to be a dick.
You want to be a dick.
You're just gonna
leave Darnell here
and hope
that your psychotic boss
doesn't find him and kill him?
Yeah, do you, Trey.
Do you.
But I'm not giving up.
And I don't care
if I have to rob this casino.
I'm gonna get that money.
I'm gonna get that money.
Another 20, gentlemen.
Are you serious about that?
About what?
Actually stealing it?
Yeah, I am. Why?
'Cause there's this guy...
and he's got about a
million chips on his table.
Definitely more than 300k.
Seriously?
- Is he alone?
- Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Um...
okay, I could, uh...
I could, um...
I could pretend
I want to go home with him,
and I can,
and then I could, um...
You don't need to do all that.
But if you can get him
to cash out and meet me
in the parking lot,
I'll hold him up.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
Where is he?
At the table we were at earlier.
Meet you
in the parking lot.
Come on, Pretzel.
Ha-ha! Don't take it personally,

Sometimes you just...

Do you have a name?
Sean.
Let's see what kind of luck

Yeah.Sorry. I'm good.
Yeah, okay. Babe,
do me a favor.
Get out of my way.
Wait. Wait, wait.Just...
I said, get your clothes on.
Where the hell's my money?
It's not there?
- Where'd it go?
- Where the hell's my money?!
I don't know.
Calm down.
I don't know, and I... I said,
where the hell is my money?!
- Who the...?

He's out.
We got to go.

Get the cash.
Cash, cash, cash.
Get in.
Oh, what's your name, bro?
Good boy. Good boy.
Get back here!
Hey, you!
Get back here!
Give me back my money!
Open the door!
- Oh, my God.
- Hey.
Come back!
- Get out of that car!
- Go, go, go, go, go!
Get back! Get back here!
I'm gonna kill you!
We're good.
What?
Oh, my God, that was insane.
Thank you for helping me,
um...
Yeah.
It's nothing.
Yeah.
I got you.
I'm gonna call Darnell and
find out where they are. - Yeah, call him.
How did I get here, man?
I just wanted to start
a guide dog school,
do a little good in the
world, and-and then...
And then...
And then
you trafficked heroin.
Not by choice.
I'm not like...
Like me? 'Cause, you know,
I didn't really
have a choice, either.
No. Oh, my God, no.
That's not what
I was about to say.
- What were you gonna say?
- I was about to say...
Hi.
Excuse me, sir?
Yeah? I was actually
talking to him.
Your time limit
for the computer is up.
Well, there's a time limit?
There is.
Fine. Whatever.
No, no, no, I'm...
Um, ma'am, I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
Uh, this woman
has been here at her computer
long before my friend came,
so, are you kicking her off,
too, or...?
Sir, I don't know when she
arrived, but I know when he did.
Oh, interesting.
Do you know when I arrived?
Because I came with him,
and you're not kicking me
off the computer, are you?
You're welcome
to leave, too. It's fine.
Let's go. No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, no. No, no, no.
Hang on. I'm sorry.
Uh, time out, everybody.
Hang on.
Is anyone else a little...
little disturbed by this
blatant display
of discrimination
that is happening
right before your eyes?
Because, frankly,
I find it very disturbing.
Sir, one more outburst,
and I will have
security escort you out.
Oh, I get a warning.
I wonder why!
I'm just doing my job,
and he's over the time limit.
- No, no, no, no, no. No.
- Let me handle this.Stop. Stop.
Time limit?
We did not get a time limit
when we came in here, okay?
Did you get a time limit?
Hey. Excuse me? Yeah?
I don't know who got a time
limit. Did you get a time limit?
How about you, sir?
Did you receive a time limit?
- Didn't think so.
- Oh.
Look. A list
of library rules.
Perhaps we should review them.
What do you think?
Let's see
if there's anything
about a time limit.
Rule number one...
"Use a whisper voice." Oopsie.
Rule number two...
- "Treat books with respect." Books.
- Security?
Not human beings,
but books.
- Interesting.
- Oh.That's it. We're calling the cops.
No, no. I'm so sorry.
We're trying to...
Can you do
me a favor,
and just do exactly
what this cop says?
Yeah, of course.
I'm so sorry about this.
I am gonna
get us out of this.
Don't do anything. Just,
like I said,
do what the cop says, please.
I just got off the phone
with a couple of detectives.
Gordon Howard?
Yes?
Are you aware
that you're wanted
by the Chicago
Police Department?
Uh... I don't think so.
That... No, I don't...
Um, no, that-that's...
That must be
a misundersta-standing.
Hmm.
Oh, my God. What?
Stay here.
What's going on?
The cops got them.
- Why?
- I don't know.
Stay here.
Uh, why him?
Aiding and abetting
a fugitive.
Oh, my God.
Hey.
Back off, sir.
How much to let them go?
You seriously
offering me a bribe right now?
How's 50K?
How about a hundred?
Huh? 'Cause I mean, I've got it
with me right now. Cash.
Let
me see. Where is it?
Hold on, dude.
Just-just hold on.
Give me the bag.
Why? What are you doing?
I'm gonna get them
out of this mess.
Please.
Don't worry. We'll
have enough for Jess.
Told you.
Got it all right here,
so, I mean...
Let me see the bag.
What?
This is way
more than that.
Yeah, just take
the hundred and let them go.
Where you going?
I didn't say you could
take all of it.
Dude, what are you doing?
That's my...
Get up.
Get up.
Let's go.
It wasn't Felix?
No, it was a false alarm.
Just someone else with that name
that matched his description.
Oh! I'm such an idiot!
I knew. I knew. I knew I wasn't
gonna get them that easily.
All right, look, Josh,
relax, man.
We'll... we'll get 'em.
How's it going?
Uh, not good.
Back at square one.
Too bad.
Well, I'm headed home.
You guys should do the same.
Good night.
Let's call it, man.
You guys, I think we should
just do what I suggested.
We've been sitting
here for two hours.
We can't waste
any more time.
Give me the phone.
Make sure the number
we're calling from is blocked.
This is Josh Wallace.
Josh, it's me.
I'm ready to cooperate,
but I need something
from you first.
You have to help me
get Jess.
Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.
- Hi.
- Oh, th-thank God you answered.
- Who's this?
Oh, um,
m-my name's Michael,
and, uh,
I'm-I'm a friend of, uh...
Sort of... of-of Lorri Benson's.
- I don't know a Lorri Benson.
- Your number was in her phone.
Stop calling me.
- I said I don't know...
- Darnell. Darnell.
Hey, man, it's Trey.
I just spoke to Josiah
And he wants to
see you right away.
What?
All right.
Yeah, yeah.
You can go in.
Jessica claims she has no
way of getting in touch with Murphy.
So, that's where you come in.
Can't you just...
Please let her go.
You promised me
if I got you Nia's guys,
you'd protect them.
That was before I found out
she skimmed 50 bricks
off the stash.
They didn't skim.
They were in the middle of
getting the stash,
heard the sirens
a-and had to bail
before they could
get everything.
All I know
is that I'm out $300,000.
And if your little friends
don't compensate me, well, then,
I kill the girl
in the basement.
Here you go.
Come on. I'm supposed
to make sure you eat.
*IN THE DARK (2021)*
Season 03 Episode 04
Episode Title: "The Ventrexian"
Aired on: July 14, 2021.
- Hello?
- Hey, Cindy.
It's Darnell.
Look, I sent you
some people the other day.
Can I get their new names?
Why don't you ask Josiah?
His guys held me at gunpoint
for them.
Oh, my God. I'm...
I'm so sorry.
Look, I just...
I really need to find them,
and I can't find them
without the names they're using.
- Please, Cindy.
- Ugh, all right.
Kyle Green,
Jennifer Walker, Gordon Howard
and Lorri Benson.
Wait.
Did you say Lorri Benson?
Yeah.
Okay. Thank you.
Thank you, thank you.
- Hello?
- Hey.
Uh, you called me earlier
about Lorri?
Yeah. I thought you said
you didn't know her.
Yeah.
Well, uh, turns out I do.
You know where she is?
Yeah, that's what
I was trying to tell you.
She's stuck
on the side of the road.
What? Where?
Um, o-on Route 11.
Just outside of Rainy River.
That is, if she hasn't already
hitched a ride or something.
Okay.
I will go get her.
You tell me
exactly where she is.
Okay.
They fled to Canada.
I can go there
and get the money,
but you got to give me
another couple days.
Fine.
Trey, go with him.
You said
I could trust him.
Let's see
if you were right.
Seriously?
What? You don't want to
hang with me no more?
They don't have
the money, do they?
No, they don't.
But I got a plan.
Oh, you got a plan.
Cool.
'Cause all your plans
have turned out perfectly
well in the past.
Look, Murphy's friend Felix
knows Nia's
bank account numbers.
I know her passwords.
So, if we can get to Felix,
we can empty her accounts.
- And how do we get to Felix?
- Murphy's stuck
on the side of the road
in Canada,
so if we can get to her,
we can get to him.
Stuck on the side
of the road?
- How do you know she's still there?
- I don't.
But... the kid Michael said
it's a pretty abandoned road,
- so hopefully, no one's...
- "Hopefully"?
You sound crazy right now.
Look, you don't have to come.
Actually, I do.
You heard Josiah.
I'm just as much
on the hook for this as you are.
Because I
stupidly vouched for you.
I know how much money Nia has.
It's all good.
Just figure out
how to get to Rainy River,
wherever that is.
Come on.
Let's go.
Hey!
Please help me! Stop, please!
Oh, thank God.
It's me, Darnell.
- = Darnell?
- It's about Jess.
Is she okay?
Yeah. As long as we get
him the cash by Friday.
That's tomorrow.
Don't worry.
Julian Assange over here
is gonna hack
into Nia's bank account
and steal all the money.
Which is obviously
a great plan.
We found Murphy, didn't we?
Look, I just need to get Felix
to give us the account numbers.
I don't know where he is.
- Wait, what?
- I don't know where he is.
We...
We agreed to split up
so that if one of us
got caught...
Okay, do you have his number?
No. It's in my phone.
- You have it memorized or...
- No.
It's not... You heard the girl.
She said it's in her phone.
- Don't call me "the girl." I have a name.
- I'm not really
gonna get caught up in the
pleasantries right now, shorty.
- What we're trying to do is figure...
- "Shorty"?
- Guys.
- Yes.
- I'm very tall.
- Guys. Guys!
I'll text the kid
and get the number.
That's fine, but I still need
to get my phone.
Why? Why?
I need it
in case Jess tries to call me.
Trust me,
Jess is not gonna call you.
I don't care. I need it.
Okay. All right. Look...
This is stupid.
I'm-a need a break.
Trey. What?
Trey!
What is his problem?
That guy sucks.
Don't say that.
That's my boy.
I'm sorry, Darnell,
but I need my phone.
I need my phone. That's the
only link that Jess has to me.
All right, all right.
I texted Michael.
Okay, get
in the car. You can have
your temper tantrum in the car.
We're leaving.
- Who you talking to?
- We're leaving. Ten.
- Nine. Eight.
- You talking to me?
- You Michael?
- - Yeah.
Hi.
Lorri. Uh, I-listen,
I am so sorry, okay?
I-I didn't mean
to leave you back there, okay?
It's fine. J-Just...
Can I just have my phone?
It's just my mom was nice to me
for, like, the first time
- ever, really, and-and I just couldn't...
- Brah! Just give us the phone.
Sorry. Um...
Look, there. Look,
I put a new SIM card
in it, so it should work here.
Let's hope your boy Felix
did the same thing.
You're a good kid, Michael.
See you.
Still going to voice mail.
Well, keep trying.
And what are we even doing here?
We're wasting time.
We just need to regroup
for a couple hours.
- Figure out a plan.
- Oh, why? 'Cause poor baby Trey
- was getting carsick?
- No.
- He didn't feel good?
- No.
- Does your tummy hurt?
- No, actually. I'm completely fine.
I just don't think there's a point to
driving around aimlessly.
Do you think that's a good
idea? I'm gonna get us a room.
If you think that's a
good idea, I'm down.Murphy.
I'm gonna get us a room.
Murphy, keep trying Felix.
How many rounds...
Call speed dial one.
Head on within
50 feet of the premises.
I'm on break.
Hey. I thought
we weren't supposed
to be calling each other.
Okay. Yeah,
this could work.
I mean, Guiding Hope moved
at least $2 million last month.
You have the passwords?
Yeah. I have to try
a few combos,
but I know I can get it.
Yeah? Okay. This could work.
I think this could work.
Why is your guy
wearing tights?
Felix? He-He's
wearing tights?
I'm not wearing tights.
I'm wearing leggings.
Uh, I didn't have time
to change out of my...
co... uh, uniform.
Okay? For work.
Where are you working?
And how did you
already get a job?
It doesn't matter.
Maybe we should have a little
sidebar outside, Murphy?
Just you and me?
Just a little hallway sidebar?
- Right now?
- Yeah.
Stay, Pretzel.
Sorry, guys. Back in two secs.
Oh, you have a, uh...
Oh! Sorry. I'm so sorry.
- I should've told you I was gonna...
- What is... What is it?
- You j... You had a tendril.
- What's up?
Uh...
What? What do you
mean? Oh, I mean...
No, I just wanted to
make sure, like, we're...
Are we, like... You know,
you and me, like, we're...
Is it cool? Is
everything fine?
Between us? What do you mean?
Uh...
Like,
last time we saw each other
was at the motel.
Together.
Honestly, I haven't... I haven't
even thought about it once.
Like, I-I... forgot.
We're fine. We're fine.
Come on.
Okay, cool.
Good.
I found a library a
couple miles from here
- with computers.
- We can do the transfer there.
- Let's go.
- No need.
I have a laptop in my car.
Nah, we can't use that. Why?
If the feds or Nia's people
have eyes on the accounts,
it shouldn't trace back
to any of our devices.
Hmm.
What?
Yeah, that's a good catch.
I'm so sorry, I don't...
But I did...
I'm sorry, I don't mean that
in, like, a...
uh,
like a patronizing way.
It's fine, man, whatever. I
just mean it as a compliment.
Come on, Pretzel.Uh...
Uh, no, Murphy, you-you stay.
- Murphy stays, right?
- Why?
You heard Darnell... the feds
could be tracing Nia's account
activity and if they trace it
to this specific library
and then they go
and ask the employees
about it,
don't you think the employees
are gonna remember
a-a blind woman? Whatever.
Yeah.
Oh, um.. I'll just meet
you guys in the lobby, okay?
I forgot I have to...
p-pee.
All right, hurry.
What are you doing?
Shh.
I have to put my money
in the safe.
Oh, my God, and you waited
until they left?
No, I just...
remembered just now.
Fine, yes, I did wait, okay?
But only because that Trey guy
literally stole money
from us once before.
And, also, this thing
about patronizing Darnell?
I was not being patronizing
to Darnell.
I was simply impressed
that he came up with something
that I didn't.
Which is the definition
of "patronizing."
Okay, are you seriously
insinuating that I'm, like,
racist or something?
'Cause that's crazy.
I'm not racist.
Everyone knows I'm not racist.
I'm the least racist person.
What the hell are you doing?
This is the last $2,000 I have
in the whole world, okay?
I am making sure
the safe is secure.
It's a safe.
Okay.
Do you really think Darnell
thinks that I'm, like...?
Ask him. I don't know.
It doesn't matter, but you
shouldn't keep them waiting.
Hey, thank you for meeting us.
I'm Gene Clemens,
this is Josh Wallace.
Dennis Brandt.
Nice to meet you guys.
Uh, how long's
this vehicle been here?
Well, just got called
in this morning.
The commuter said he'd seen it
for a couple days.
Has there been any other
suspicious activity in town?
No, pretty quiet, as usual.
You guys still looking
for that, uh, blind girl?
I was on patrol the
night the APB went out.
Yeah...
uh, has she been spotted?
No.
All right.
Well, look,
I'll give you these photos.
You can post them
in your station and, uh,
keep an eye out.
Uh, no, wait, wait, uh,
I-I've seen this girl.
Excuse me?
Oh, so you did see
a blind woman?
Well, yeah, no,
but she wasn't bl...
Oh, God.
Where did you see them?
Uh, Blue Ridge motel
off exit 22.
When?
That night, the night
the APB went out.
You must be joking!
Yeah, that-that-that's fair...
It never occurred to you
that a blind woman
wanted for murder
might be pretending
not to be blind?
You're not making us
look good, man.
Have a good day, guys.
Okay.
You said you know
the password, man.
She has a few,
just...
give me a sec.
Told you.
Oh!
Sorry, sorry.
She was broke.
Oh, man.
Look, I'm sorry.
We'll find another way
to get the money.
Maybe you forgot,
maybe you weren't listening,
but my ass is on the line, too.
Give me the keys.
What?
Where you going?
Doesn't matter where I'm going.
You're on your own.
- Come on, man.
- You're reckless, Darnell.
That's why everyone around you
ends up dead.
And I'm not gonna
be one of 'em.
Give me the keys.
Are you, uh, okay? Or...
Yeah. Yeah.
It's fine, let's just...
...figure out
what to do next.
Uh, okay,
I-I just, I do...
I just want to clear
the air about earlier
between us, um...
Earlier?
The stupid thing I said
in the hotel.
I was just trying
to pay you a compliment,
and I know it came out like,
"blah, blah."
Oh, yeah, no. It was fine.
Are you sure? Okay.
'Cause, like, if you do want
to talk about that to me,
I can hear that.
It's fine.
- I-I just...
- Let's just, let's just focus on the...
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Put our heads together
and think.
Yeah, okay.
You drank all the vodka?
Is this just gonna be
a thing now?
Are you just gonna show up
whenever you feel like it?
Okay, whatever.
I guess I'll just drink this.
Hi.
Hey.
This is fun.
It's like a hotel party.
Cheers.
Cheers.
I miss the Linsmore.
Me, too.
I miss everything.
Do you think
we will ever have,
like, a somewhat normal life
ever again?
Yeah.
How?
Just trust me.
Right, but...
that hasn't really
worked out for us.
Hello?
I just came to grab my stuff.
Did we get the money?
No. Nia's broke.
Where are Darnell and Felix?
I left them there.
- You left them at the library?
- Yes.
Why? What are we doing?
What's next?
I got nothing.
And they're not gonna be able
to come up with the money, so...
- I'm out of here.
- Where are you going?
Anywhere but Chicago.
What?
Hang on, no.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
Come on.
We can...
we can figure out
how to get the money.
No.
We can't.
This is an impossible task,
and Josiah knew it.
And he's punishing
all of us.
Then let's prove him wrong.
Trey, you don't want
to be on the run.
What are you gonna do?
You're gonna never see
your friends and family again?
I'm three days in, and I
can tell you that it sucks.
If we figure out how to get
the money, you can go home.
And how do you plan
on doing that?
Felix put two grand
in the safe.
There's a casino downstairs.
We can gamble.
- Oh, my God.
- It's worth a shot.
No, that's stupid.
It won't work.
Neither will running away
from Josiah.
Okay.
What's the code?
I don't know,
but I can figure it out.
I remember the tune.
He put it in,
like, ten times.
- Tune?
- Yeah.
- That was the tune.
- Okay.
Right here.
Okay.
That's two.
Two, three.
Okay, that was good.
All good.

I think we should go all in.
What?
Seriously?
Yeah.
I mean, we're not gonna
get to 300 grand
by betting
a couple hundred bucks.
Plus, we're on a
roll right now.
You know what I mean?
You got to feel that...
that wave, you know?
What happened?
- Do you recognize this woman?
- Uh, yes.
She... she stayed here
with her boyfriend.
- Uh... Why?
- Oh. She was here with him?
No. Who's that?
Uh, her dude had,
like, longish hair.
This tall.
Him?
Yeah, him.
Uh... did you, did you get
their names, by chance?
Not hers, but his was, uh,
Gordon Howard.
And were they
with anyone else?
No, I... they booked two rooms,
but I didn't see their friends.
Any form of ID?
Passport? Anything?
No, they paid in cash.
Did they say where
they were going?
No. Like, that dude's name
is seriously all
I know about them.
Are they, like,
criminals or something?
Yes.
- Wow.
- But thank you.
We appreciate you.
You were very helpful.
- Anytime.
- Mm-hmm.
Of course they paid
in cash.
All right, look, we need
to call Canadian authorities,
have them put a APB out
on Gordon Howard.
Hopefully,
he's still using that name.
Okay, what if we fake
a GoFundMe account,
but for, like, a dying kid?
A dying kid?
I don't know, man.
I'm sorry, okay?
- There's got to be another way.
- There isn't.
Look, we tried.
I'm gonna go.
Don't go. Don't do that.
I told you,
you don't want to be on the run.
That's why I think I'm gonna go
back and tell Josiah everything.
Hopefully, he understands
that it wasn't my fault.
Yeah, that'll work.
He's so, uh, reasonable.
Nice guy.
Yeah, good idea.
It's worth a shot.
And then what,
you're just gonna let
Darnell take the hit?
I have to.
God, we have a...
totally different
view on...
how friendship works.
Okay, yeah, that's cute.
But I don't need your advice.
I gotta do me.
Why are guys so annoying?
You're...
you're clearly trying
to be a dick.
You want to be a dick.
You're just gonna
leave Darnell here
and hope
that your psychotic boss
doesn't find him and kill him?
Yeah, do you, Trey.
Do you.
But I'm not giving up.
And I don't care
if I have to rob this casino.
I'm gonna get that money.
I'm gonna get that money.
Another 20, gentlemen.
Are you serious about that?
About what?
Actually stealing it?
Yeah, I am. Why?
'Cause there's this guy...
and he's got about a
million chips on his table.
Definitely more than 300k.
Seriously?
- Is he alone?
- Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Um...
okay, I could, uh...
I could, um...
I could pretend
I want to go home with him,
and I can,
and then I could, um...
You don't need to do all that.
But if you can get him
to cash out and meet me
in the parking lot,
I'll hold him up.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
Where is he?
At the table we were at earlier.
Meet you
in the parking lot.
Come on, Pretzel.
Ha-ha! Don't take it personally,
my friend.
Sometimes you just...
Oh, sorry, my dog is...
drunk.
Does your dog have a name?
- Uh, Pretzel.
- That's cute.
Do you have a name?
Sean.
Let's see what kind of luck
you bring me tonight.
Let me get you another drink.
Maybe you should
cash in those chips,
and we can get out of here.

Congratulations.
Thanks. Keep $200

Would you like your
winnings sent to your room?
That would be terrific.
You-you have a room here?
Yeah. I don't like
to drink and drive.
I'm a model citizen.
Shall we?

Oh, what's your name, bro?
Good boy. Good boy.
Get back here!
Hey, you!
Get back here!
Give me back my money!
Open the door!
- Oh, my God.
- Hey.
Come back!
- Get out of that car!
- Go, go, go, go, go!
Get back! Get back here!
I'm gonna kill you!
We're good.
What?
Oh, my God, that was insane.
Thank you for helping me,
um...
Yeah.
It's nothing.
Yeah.
I got you.
I'm gonna call Darnell and
find out where they are. - Yeah, call him.
How did I get here, man?
I just wanted to start
a guide dog school,
do a little good in the
world, and-and then...
And then...
And then
you trafficked heroin.
Not by choice.
I'm not like...
Like me? 'Cause, you know,
I didn't really
have a choice, either.
No. Oh, my God, no.
That's not what
I was about to say.
- What were you gonna say?
- I was about to say...
Hi.
Excuse me, sir?
Yeah? I was actually
talking to him.
Your time limit
for the computer is up.
Well, there's a time limit?
There is.
Fine. Whatever.
No, no, no, I'm...
Um, ma'am, I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
Uh, this woman
has been here at her computer
long before my friend came,
so, are you kicking her off,
too, or...?
Sir, I don't know when she
arrived, but I know when he did.
Oh, interesting.
Do you know when I arrived?
Because I came with him,
and you're not kicking me
off the computer, are you?
You're welcome
to leave, too. It's fine.
Let's go. No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, no. No, no, no.
Hang on. I'm sorry.
Uh, time out, everybody.
Hang on.
Is anyone else a little...
little disturbed by this
blatant display
of discrimination
that is happening
right before your eyes?
Because, frankly,
I find it very disturbing.
Sir, one more outburst,
and I will have
security escort you out.
Oh, I get a warning.
I wonder why!
I'm just doing my job,
and he's over the time limit.
- No, no, no, no, no. No.
- Let me handle this.Stop. Stop.
Time limit?
We did not get a time limit
when we came in here, okay?
Did you get a time limit?
Hey. Excuse me? Yeah?
I don't know who got a time
limit. Did you get a time limit?
How about you, sir?
Did you receive a time limit?
- Didn't think so.
- Oh.
Look. A list
of library rules.
Perhaps we should review them.
What do you think?
Let's see
if there's anything
about a time limit.
Rule number one...
"Use a whisper voice." Oopsie.
Rule number two...
- "Treat books with respect." Books.
- Security?
Not human beings,
but books.
- Interesting.
- Oh.That's it. We're calling the cops.
No, no. I'm so sorry.
We're trying to...
Can you do
me a favor,
and just do exactly
what this cop says?
Yeah, of course.
I'm so sorry about this.
I am gonna
get us out of this.
Don't do anything. Just,
like I said,
do what the cop says, please.
I just got off the phone
with a couple of detectives.
Gordon Howard?
Yes?
Are you aware
that you're wanted
by the Chicago
Police Department?
Uh... I don't think so.
That... No, I don't...
Um, no, that-that's...
That must be
a misundersta-standing.
Hmm.
Oh, my God. What?
Stay here.
What's going on?
The cops got them.
- Why?
- I don't know.
Stay here.
Uh, why him?
Aiding and abetting
a fugitive.
Oh, my God.
Hey.
Back off, sir.
How much to let them go?
You seriously
offering me a bribe right now?
How's 50K?
How about a hundred?
Huh? 'Cause I mean, I've got it
with me right now. Cash.
Let
me see. Where is it?
Hold on, dude.
Just-just hold on.
Give me the bag.
Why? What are you doing?
I'm gonna get them
out of this mess.
Please.
Don't worry. We'll
have enough for Jess.
Told you.
Got it all right here,
so, I mean...
Let me see the bag.
What?
This is way
more than that.
Yeah, just take
the hundred and let them go.
Where you going?
I didn't say you could
take all of it.
Dude, what are you doing?
That's my...
Get up.
Get up.
Let's go.
It wasn't Felix?
No, it was a false alarm.
Just someone else with that name
that matched his description.
Oh! I'm such an idiot!
I knew. I knew. I knew I wasn't
gonna get them that easily.
All right, look, Josh,
relax, man.
We'll... we'll get 'em.
How's it going?
Uh, not good.
Back at square one.
Too bad.
Well, I'm headed home.
You guys should do the same.
Good night.
Let's call it, man.
You guys, I think we should
just do what I suggested.
We've been sitting
here for two hours.
We can't waste
any more time.
Give me the phone.
Make sure the number
we're calling from is blocked.
This is Josh Wallace.
Josh, it's me.
I'm ready to cooperate,
but I need something
from you first.
You have to help me
get Jess.
Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.
