In the Dark (2019–…): Season 3, Episode 9 - Excess Baggage - full transcript

[♪ ♪]

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

(door opens)

(door closes)

HOUSEKEEPER:
Hi, Miss Lauren.

Oh, no...

Love how my first case as
chief is a triple homicide

tied up with the
Mexican drug cartel.

Guess Murphy was right
about this Josiah guy

taking over Nia's business.

Maybe.



Uh, you know, we could ask Josh
what else Murphy told him

if he'd return my texts.

You texted him?

Go to his house. Be a human.

Apologize in person.

Guys are so dumb.

All right, you don't
have to yell at me.

TECH:
Hey, Chief?

Oh, hey. What you got?

We found a trail
of blood outside.

Looks like someone
got out of here alive.

We'll see if the DNA's
in our system.

Also there was a bullet
lodged in the wall.

The round is from a revolver,
but all the guns we recovered



are semiautomatics.

SARAH: So whoever got out
took that revolver with them.

Season 03 Episode 09

Episode Title: "Excess Baggage"
Aired on: September 01, 2021.

Well? What did you find?
You're awfully quiet over there.

Yeah, I don't know, Murphy.

This Jennifer's uncle guy
seems pretty innocent to me.

What? You said he,

he was arrested for Jennifer's
kidnapping, though.

Yeah, but he was never charged,

and there was, like,
no case against him.

Well, maybe they
got it wrong.

Just see what else
you can find, please.

What are you doing?

Hmm? What... but what
is... what are you doing?

Oh, sorry. Nothing.

No, you had, like, crumbs
or-or lint or something.

Oh. So I was just...

(knocking on door)

(barking)

Oh, my God, shut up.

No.

Hey, hold on, man.
Just give me two seconds.

What are you doing here?

You didn't answer
my texts. I know.

Look, just give me a second,
all right? I drove all

the way here through
the worst traffic of my life.

Fine. All right.

Oof. Man.

You reek.

Yeah, well, my entire life
fell apart thanks to you.

But at least you got
your big arrest, so...

Wahoo.

I'm guessing you saw the news.

Uh, yeah. Congratulations
on your promotion, too.

I'm allocating all the resources
I can to finding Murphy.

Look...

what I did to you,
I'm really sorry, man.

Let me get you Murphy.

This time, no deals.

Let's put her away forever.

Why are you doing this?

Because you're my friend.

Don't ever lie to me again.

I promise.

Okay.

All right, come here.
Give me a hug.

Come on.
Come hold my body.

Oh.

Okay, here's another article,
from, like,

- five years after the trial.
- What does it say?

It says, "Redford Long,

"after he was let go,
then dedicated his life

to finding out what
actually happened to Jennifer."

So, we should go talk
to this uncle.

What? Why?

Because he knows a lot.
I want to know what he knows.

Or maybe he did have something
to do with it. I-I don't know.

Nothing. Okay, we need
a... let's talk to this Redford.

- We need to find out where he lives.
- Oh, God.

They're plowing the roads.

Isn't that a good thing?

No. Because now my sister
will kick us out

now that we can actually leave.

Where are we gonna go?

Like I know, Murphy.

Hey. Yeah, I know,
they're plowing the roads.

We'll be out of your hair
momentarily.

Felix, can I talk to you?

Nope.

Hey, Murphy, I just put out
a bunch of bagels and stuff.

If you wanted to go get
some. I'm not hungry.

Oh, my God, can you give us,
like, two seconds alone, please?

(sighs)

Did you feed my dog?

No, I didn't feed your dog.

(sighs)

Look, I feel really bad
about Dad's newspapers.

Good. You should.

Felix. What? I am busy, okay?

- I do not want to talk to you right now.
- Too bad.

LESLEY (distant): You're in my
house, so we're talking about it!

FELIX (distant):
Oh, okay.

(indistinct shouting) Hey.

Hi.

Hi, did you find your phone?

No, it's so weird.
I have no idea where it went.

Probably around here somewhere.

Yeah, you'd think.

Hmm?

Hey, man.

I'm gonna make some coffee.

You guys want some?

Sure.

Cool.

No, this is
what you do. Okay?

You-you constantly treat me

as if I'm not good enough

to be part
of this stupid family!

Fine, I'm trash.

- I'm the worst person in the world.
- Oh, don't...

come on.

What do you want from me?

Nothing.
I want nothing from you.

(exhales)

I never should have come here.

Look, you're my brother.

You're, um...

you're my brother.

Yes. I'm aware we share
some genetic material.

Can you just...

And all I've wanted
since Dad died

is to have a relationship
with you.

(scoffs)

Why?

Because I love you.

Don't believe it.

Oh, come on.
I'd take a bullet for you.

Really?
You would take a bullet...

Okay, maybe not a bullet,
because, like,

I have a crippling fear
of dying.

I wouldn't take a bullet
for anyone,

like, not even a baby.

Wow. Such a cool person you are.

The point is, I love you,
and if there was a way for me

to prove it to you,
I would, but...

Oh, there is.

Okay.

Um, let us stay here.

I have been letting
you stay here.

Yeah, for, like, two days,
but I'm talking about

until we figure
out where Jess is.

Because we have nowhere to go,
and it would be very helpful.

You want me to house
a bunch of criminals?

Yeah, well, it's the kind
of thing you'd do

for somebody you really loved.

Fine.

What?

Okay.

Seriously?

Yeah.

Cool... Th-Thank you.

But clean up after yourselves.

I refuse to be
your housekeeper as well.

Got it.

Here.

No, I'm good.
I don't really like coffee.

Oh, I-I know.

I, uh, put pop in yours.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Where's Trey?
This is, this is his.

He's looking for his phone again
in the car in the garage.

Okay.

JOSH: Okay, this is
everything I have on Murphy,

Guiding Hope, all of it.

What's all this?

Keith was so lazy,
these are all the cases

I inherited that
he hadn't even assigned.

Two days ago to two years ago.

Wow. Eh, this is why people
hate the police.

I mean, I could think of
a couple other reasons, but...

Oh. Exactly what I wanted.

More files.

I'm not too sure
if it'll even help.

It's mostly just bank records.

Oh, hey, uh, before I forget.

Here you go, man.

You are officially a forensic
accounting specialist

for Chicago PD, district 23.

I don't get a badge?

Yeah, that's a badge.

This is a laminated ID card.

Sarah!

Hey, or I guess
I should call you, uh,

Detective Barnes now, right?

Uh, what you got? Uh, not much.

That phone that we found
at Josiah's

is registered to Trey Williams,
but we can't find him.

His neighbors haven't seen him
in a couple of days.

Hey, why don't you put
a couple guys over there

to stake his apartment
out? I already did.

But what about his call log?
Texts?

Nothing that suggests
his whereabouts.

The last number that called
him was from a burner.

Oh. Where did it ping?

It's, uh,
off the grid.

Only 12 residences
in the area.

Patricia Rosen, Gary
Norton, Lesley Bell,

Nancy Hoffer...
Wait, Lesley Bell?

Yeah. Why?

I wonder if she's related
to Felix Bell.

You still don't
have an address?

Murphy, I'm trying.

Hey. You were
out there forever.

Did you find your phone? No.

I might have left it at Beau's.

That's the last place
I remember using it.

I'm gonna go
check there.

Okay. Hang on.
I'll, um, walk you out.

(whispers):
Hi.

Thanks again for helping.

I didn't really do much
besides steal your phone,

keep everybody up all
night looking for it.

(laughs softly)

Yeah.

Hey.

Come here.

I'll call you. You know,
when I've found my phone.

You better.

Maybe when this
whole thing is over,

I could try to live a
regular, boring life.

Take you out for brunch.

Or something?
Whatever.

Like normal people?

I don't really think
either of us can do "normal."

Yeah, but...
we could try, right?

Sure.

Sure.

I'll see you later,
shorty. Okay. Bye.

Felix. Wait, wait,
wait. I-I think I got it.

Seriously? Yeah. Redford Long.

This is the same Redford Long.
Allwood Avenue.

Let's go.

Okay. Come on, Pretzel.

Gonna get dressed.

"Good job, Felix.
Thanks for doing that."

I can't believe you're gonna
let them all stay here,

like... like, indefinitely?

What choice did I have?

(groans)
God...

You'll be fine living with
Murphy for a little bit.

I don't want to!

(muffled grunt)

You want to go
grab some food?

Yes! Yes, I do.

I kind of want a cheeseburger.

Oh, I don't know.
Feeling kind of like tacos.

(pounding on door) GENE:
Chicago PD! Open up!

How did they find us?
We're dead, it's over.

Hang on. Just go
in the other room, all of you.

I'll handle it.
Hey, hey... Les...

Go, just go, go.

Pretzel, come.
(exhales)

Chief Gene Clemens,
Chicago PD.

Hi. Lesley Bell.

How can I help you?
Yeah. We know who you are.

Felix's sister.

Uh, we're looking
for your brother

and his friends
and we have reason

to believe that
they were here.

Oh, yeah, of course
this is about Felix.

Yeah, he was here.

Uh, he showed up and said
he was in some trouble

and that he needed
a place to crash.

But I said no,
I didn't want any part of it.

Uh, when was that? Yesterday.

Was he with anyone?

He was with some friends and
then they all split to Canada.

He wanted to tell me more,
but I stopped him.

I'm not about to be disbarred

because of my brother's
stupid decisions. Right, right.

Uh, did he, uh, did he
mention where in Canada?

Like I said, I told him
to keep me out of it.

But if you have a card,
I'll call you

if he shows back up. Yeah.

Absolutely. Thank you.
Have a good one.

Yeah, you, too. All right.

You believe her?

Yeah. You?

Yeah.

(both exhale)

You okay, yeah? Mm-hmm.

Are you okay?

Thank you. That was...

Thank you.

It was nothing.

It wasn't.

But...

Thanks, Lesley.

Yeah, well,

I wouldn't have wanted
to get caught

with all of you guys here, so...

All right, we should go.

Um...

I sort of think
maybe we should

stay here, you know,
until it's safe?

Just lay low
for a while?

No, I have to find Jess.

You shouldn't go
back to the city.

The cops are obviously
still looking for you.

For us.

Yeah, and your girlfriend
saved the day.

Which is why maybe we should
just stay here until it's safe.

I'm not gonna stay here, Felix,
I'm happy

to call a cab and go talk
to this dude by myself.

Okay, obviously,
I'll come with you.

Murphy, you may want
to wait for the cops

to, you know, back out
of the driveway first.

Is that okay?

(faint hip-hop music playing)

Yo, you hear
about Josiah's wife?

Yeah.

It's brutal.

I could've sworn
it was here.

I-I don't know, man.

I'll just

get a new phone, I guess.
Anyway, I got to head to work.

Work?

Yeah, my cousin runs
this sandwich shop.

It's not ideal,
but whatever.

You think they're looking
to hire anyone else?

You want a regular job?

What? Maybe I've changed.

Well, he's looking for another
dishwasher if you're interested.

All right, let's go.

(dog barking in distance)

(knocking)

(clears her throat)

Hi, could I help you?

Uh, we just have a...
(clears her throat)

a few questions, um...

We're looking
for Jennifer Walker?

Oh.

Oh, um...

Why don't you come in?

Sure.

Forward, Pretzel.
There's a ledge.

Here you go.

So...

how did you guys know Jennifer?

I didn't know her, but, um...

we were just reading about

her case
in some old newspapers,

and... I don't know.

You know, we just felt

compelled to-to find her.

Well, at least somebody does.

Yeah, uh, I do want to ask...

uh... just when we were,

when we were reading
about the case, um...

You want to know why I was
arrested in the first place?

Yes. If... Yes. (chuckles)

Please.

Hmm.

It's okay. I can talk about it.

Um, I had just married

my ex-wife, Jenny's aunt.

Uh, this one Saturday I was
on my way to a camping trip,

and I saw Jenny walking home
from swim practice.

Mm-hmm. I offered her a ride.

Her brother was supposed
to pick her up,

but he never showed, so...

I just drove her home
and went on my trip.

When I got home...

my house was swamped
with police.

And before I know it,

I'm being arrested for...

kidnapping my niece.

I'm... so sorry.

You said her brother was
supposed to pick her up?

Yeah.

He was probably just
getting high or something.

Anyway...

uh, I was released
right away.

After that, I dedicated
all my time to finding

who was really responsible
for Jenny's disappearance.

And... anything?

Did you find anything?

Yeah, she suffered
from pretty severe depression.

And...

I came to the conclusion that...

she killed herself.

But her body was never found.

And she got
a new identity.

So she was running
from someone.

REDFORD:
Yeah.

Well, I think that, um...

I think that she was
running from herself.

I don't think so.

I mean, that's just
your theory, but...

it's pretty possible
that she never returned home

because she was
too scared of someone.

I don't think so.

Do you know
where her brother lives?

I haven't heard anything
about him in years.

Where's her... what about
her parents, where are they?

Her dad was never really there.

And, yeah, her mom's still here.

We wouldn't want to bother her.
Okay, what's her address? Where is she?

I send her a holiday card
every year.

Would you like me to grab it?

Please.

Thanks for your help
in there.

What was the noise
you were making?

The noise that was coming
from-from your general area?

"Noise"?
Yes!

Right in the middle
of when he was talking.

It was like...
(vocalizing)

Oh, I was uh... It's rude.

I was solving a Rubik's cube.

A Rubik's cube?

Yes! I was solving
a Rubik's cube.

Because I was uncomfortable...
You made that poor guy relive

what was probably, like, the
worst experience of his life.

Oh, I'm sorry
you were uncomfortable, Felix,

while we were trying to find
our kidnapped friend.

Well...

don't think this girl had
anything to do with that.

It sounds like she
killed herself.

We should go
back to Canada.

I'm not going anywhere
until I figure this out.

I-I want to talk to the mom.

Murphy, I don't think

we should go barging in
on some grieving mother.

We're trying to find her
daughter. No, we're not!

Yeah, we are!
No, we are not!

According to you,
we're trying to find

the person
who was after her daughter,

who maybe mistook our friend
for her daughter

and now has her... hostage?

Yes, which could be
Jennifer's brother.

I just want to know
if the mom knows where he is.

Murphy... I need to ask her.

That doesn't even line up
with your own theory.

Why?

Because you said you think
whoever took Jess

thought she was Jennifer Walker.

Don't you think
the brother would know

he didn't take
his actual sister?

No, it's been ten years.

He probably doesn't
even recognize her.

No. Murphy, that's not...

how that works, I'm sorry.

But...

you would know
it wasn't your sister.

Well... I mean...

apparently he does drugs
and stuff, so, I mean,

he could... I don't know, Felix!

I know it sounds crazy to you,
but I know it's right.

I do, I just know it!

I-I know it.

Can you just drive us
to Jennifer's mom's, please?

No. Please, please, Felix?

Please?
No.

Okay? No.

I'm drawing the line
right here, right now.

Absolutely not, no.

BONNIE:
Are you guys reporters?

No. No, no.
No.

We just, we're just
trying to figure out

what happened
to your daughter.

Nobody's come around
asking about her in a long time.

Feels like everybody's
forgotten about her but me.

But I know that she's, um,
she's out there

still somewhere.
I actually keep that light on

in the window every night
just in case she comes home.

Can I ask...

um, was your daughter depressed

at all?
I mean...

what teenager is happy?

But, I mean, did she have

any friends or...? Yes.

Of course she had friends.

Uh, there was Susannah Jenkins.

MURPHY: Mm-hmm. And, um...

I know that there were others,

but she-she was
always with Suzie.

And where is your son
these days?

BONNIE:
Oh, who knows?

MURPHY: You don't
know where your son is?

No, I don't.

Well... (stammers)

do you think
it's a possibility

that Jennifer was...

running from him?

Or from someone? Because
she bought a new identity.

So that's the only
thing that makes sense.

BONNIE:
You see?

I knew that she didn't
kill herself.

Just-just hang on. Uh, my-my
phone is charging upstairs.

I'm gonna call the detective
on this case.

I want you guys to tell him
everything that you know. Okay?

Yeah! Sounds good.

(chuckles)
We're leaving.

What? No. Felix.
That's it. Come on.

Murphy, she's calling the cops.

Okay? We're leaving. I want to
know what she knows about the brother.

They're not gonna be here
for, like, five minutes.

We have some time.

A few mi... Are you insane?

I didn't get to ask her...
Murphy, I don't care. Go.

For-forward, Pretzel.

Felix.
(shushes)

What are... (shushes)

(exhales)

(door closes)

Ah, Mrs. Walker, hi.
This is Detective Miller.

What can I do for you?

There were some people here
with information about Jenny.

They said that she bought
a fake identity.

That right?
And who were these people?

I didn't get their names, but,

um, they were a couple of kids,

they were in their 20s,
probably.

Uh, the girl, she was blind.

Wait, what?

They're looking for a girl
named Jennifer Walker.

Now, she was reported missing
ten years ago.

Jennifer Walker?

That doesn't make any sense.

Why do I recognize that name?

Oh, my God. Uh...

Wait, I just saw
her case file.

Uh-huh. Here it is.

Jennifer Walker,
reported kidnapped

from Northern Presbyterian
Hospital yesterday.

Let me see that.

Why wasn't I notified?

'Cause Keith sucked at his job.

Wait, wait, wait.

Was hospitalized
for smoke inhalation

the night of the fire
at Downtown Empire Arcade.

That wasn't Jennifer Walker.
That had to have been Jess.

I'll find out what I
can from the hospital.

So she must have bought
that girl's identity,

and Murphy thinks
that Jess's disappearance

has something to do
with the real Jennifer Walker,

and that's why she's trying to
find out what happened to her.

I guess that we should find out
what happened to her, too.

Might lead us right
to Murphy and them.

(scoffs) Good luck. The
mother's a real piece of work.

I've found nothing in ten years.

SARAH:
Get this.

The only visitor she had at
the hospital was Darnell James.

Hmm? Come on.

Oh. Hey.

Thanks for meeting me
on such short notice.

Ooh. Little early for whiskey.

Yeah, well, wasn't hungry.

In the mood for a drink.

Fair enough.

So what's this about?

I know we only met once,
at, uh, Jules's funeral,

but I had some questions
that I wanted to ask you,

and bringing you
into the station

felt weird, so...

I don't know.

Long-winded way
of explaining the random call.

Anyhow, how are you?

I'm fine.

Just...

Life?

Yeah, pretty much.

Yeah.

I saw your chief,
uh, got arrested.

(clears throat)
Yeah.

By me.
(chuckles)

Hmm.

Wish Jules would've been there
to see that.

Yeah.

Can I get you a beer before
the questioning begins?

Sure, yeah.

(door closes)

Hey, how'd it go?

Oh, yeah, just great, actually.

Jess, come on in!
We were actually

getting somewhere until
he dragged me out of there.

Really, Murphy?
She was calling the cops.

Wait, who was calling the cops?

Jennifer Walker's
mother.

We also went and visited her

and it wasn't at all invasive
or extremely sad.

MURPHY:
Okay, I'm gonna lie down,

and then we'll figure out
next steps.

Sure.

(whimpers softly)

Don't. You're the last person
I want to talk to right now.

I thought you desperately
wanted to find me.

The real you, the real one.

Not this in my head,
not this stupid...

Just leave me alone.

God...

You don't really
want that. Yes, I do.

You don't.

This might be the only version
you see of me again.

You know that.

Don't say that.

No.

No.

Jess.

She stole the keys from my purse

and-and parked my car

down the street and then put
the keys back in my purse

and watched me report
my own car being stolen.

(both laugh) You know,
she did the same thing to me

in high school?
(chuckles)

And I cannot tell
you how many times

I'd be peacefully taking
a shower and she'd sneak in

and dump, like,
a bucket of ice water on me.

She thought she was hilarious.

I know, right?

(phone buzzes)

I should, I should
get back to work.

Yeah, I got to go home
and feed Miles anyway.

Oh, wait,
you still have Jules's cat?

Yeah, I, uh, thought it would be
a nice reminder of her.

But now I'm just a single guy
with a cat.

(chuckles)

No, no, you're good.
I got it.

You sure? Yeah. Yeah.

Thanks.

Uh, sorry I couldn't

be more help
with the Jess thing.

It's all good.

I had a nice time anyway.

Yeah. So did I.

(exhales)

The train's this way.
(clears throat)

You, uh, you want me
to walk you there?

Uh, no, that's all right.

Okay.

Well, uh... (chuckles)

Bye.

Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, wow, that was, um...

I know.
(chuckles)

(laughs softly)

It's a little bit
out of order, but...

you want to grab dinner?

What? No... Never
got that lunch.

No, my God,
I'm still on the clock.

Are you kidding? I'm
literally still working. So?

(phone buzzing) Oh.
Hang on. I have to,

I have to get this. Hello?

GENE:
Hey, how'd it go with Darnell?

Uh, sort of a waste of time.

(quietly):
A waste of time?

I'm on my way back now, though.

Actually, can you go check
on the guys at Trey's place?

Make sure they're not sleeping?

They've been there for hours
and, uh,

I haven't heard anything.

Yeah, okay. Bye.

Wait, Trey?

Huh? Yeah. Trey Williams?

How do you... Why are
the cops at Trey's place?

Sarah, what did he do?

He murdered three people.

What? No, he didn't.

Trust me, I would know if
he murdered three people.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Stop.
W-What are you doing?

What do you think I'm doing?
Trey's my boy,

I'm not gonna let him go down
for something he didn't do.

No, hey... Hey! Sarah,
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Whoa... (door closes)

(siren wailing)

(horn honks)

(tires screeching)

Trey. Thank God I caught you.

What the hell are
you doing here, man?

Turn left. You can't get
any closer to your place.

Why? It's surrounded by
cops. Just go. Go, go, go.

DARNELL:
Go, go.

Oh, my God.

I... I got it.

I could've gotten it. Sure.

(exhales)

What?

Can we talk?

You want to talk?

Yes, Felix. I talk.

What do you want to talk about?

Jess.

(scoffs) Okay, well,
what-what about, uh...

What about Jess?

I mean,
what do you think?

Do you think Murphy's right?

No.
(scoffs)

I don't think
this Jennifer Walker girl

has anything to do with Jess.

It sounds a lot
like she killed herself.

I don't think
there's some big mystery,

I think Jess is...

Hey, look, man, Felix,
I'm-I'm really sorry, okay?

This whole thing,
I just, I-I don't know.

Now we're all gonna
go to prison, so...

Oh, uh,
hang on a second.

Maybe not.

Our DNA isn't at the gravesite,

and your sister said
everything else they have on us

is circumstantial.

But Murphy?

Is screwed, I know. She
won't go back to Canada.

All she cares about

is Jennifer Walker. Yeah,
well, you and I both know

that's just a stall tactic,
okay?

Eventually, Murphy's gonna
come to terms with the fact

that Jess is...

That Jess is gone.

Yeah, well, why don't you
go tell her that, Max?

I'm sure it'll go over great.

(exhales) Look, this is moot

because she's never
gonna agree to go.

Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.

Maybe she doesn't need to.

Jess, you can
come back now, please.

Come back.

I don't know.

I mean, it could work.
It's... brutal, though.

I can't think of
any other way.

Well?

I guess.

Listen, you got
this, man. Okay?

(bottles clink)

Okay.

FELIX:
Murph?

I think
I found something.

I stole Jennifer's yearbook

from the mom's house. Yeah?

And apparently,
she had a boyfriend.

Seriously? Yeah.

And he left
this whole heartfelt message

and his number,

so I called it.

He sounded super shady, so...

I think we should go
talk to him.

He lives in Detroit.

Oh, my God, Felix.

I love you.

Thank you. Let's go.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.

MAX: Hey. Hi.
Where's, uh, Felix?

MAX: Oh, he's just, uh,
he's just waiting in the car.

Okay. Well, I'll see
you later. Yeah. Yeah.

(chuckles softly)
Relax, we'll-we'll be back soon.

Yeah. Just, um...

Take care of yourself. Yeah.

Always do.

Find the car, Pretzel. Go.

Find the car. (car door closes)

Good boy.

(grunts)
You have the address?

Yeah.

Where'd you get it?

The Internet.

(mockingly):
"The Internet."

(scoffs)

Hello? What?

Nothing.
Usually just when I mock you,

you usually get all pissy.

Oh, yeah, no. Sorry.

I'm, uh... Was putting
the address in my phone.

But I'm... Was putting the
address in my phone. (chuckles)

Okay.

Ready? Let's go.

Okay. (engine starts)

(sniffles)

How you doing?

I'm okay.

You need some alone time?

The opposite.
(chuckles)

(inhales)

That, um...

What?

Nothing.

Just, uh...

Feels nice.

Oh.

Oh? Okay.

(grunts softly)

(tires squeal)

MURPHY:
Wh-What are you doing?

Why are... Why are
we stopped? So,

I'm staring at, like,
a million cops right now.

Okay. So?

So?
(scoffs)

You're wanted for murder,
Murphy. Don't you think

there's a couple cops
looking for you? I... Well...

Miles from Chicago, Felix.

Yeah, well, I don't know.

You know, I think
you should get in the trunk

just till we pass them.

Okay? Here, I'll
help you. What?

You want me to get
in the trunk? Yes.

Are you crazy?

No, I'm not crazy.

(car door closes) Okay?
I know you didn't see,

but there's, like, a blockade
of police. (car door closes)

Wait, why c... Why can't I just
pull my seat down in the car?

Because it's not as safe, okay?
I'm gonna put you in the trunk,

and I'm gonna cover
you with coats.

Yeah, man. I was really
hoping to talk to him.

Ex... Hey, excuse me?

Excuse me. Wh...
Sorry. Hang on a sec.

What's with the...
all the cops everywhere?

Uh, up where? I don't see
anything. Yeah, no, they're not...

Where are we?

In a parking lot.

Got it. And are we close

to the Canadian border,
by any chance?

Wait. Oh, yeah. The bridge is,

like, a block that way. Okay.

Thank you so
much. Yeah, for sure.

I don't know.

Some guy. Anyway...

Look, Murphy...

Are you kidding
me, Felix? Murphy,

we have to get to Canada.

Otherwise,
you're gonna go to jail

for, like, the rest
of your life. No!

We have to find Jess, Felix!

(sighs)

What?

Nothing.

Oh, my God.

What are you doing?
Come on, Pretzel.

Have fun in Canada,
you dick!

(phone buzzing)

Hey.

GENE:
Hey. Where are you?

I'm at Trey's.

I didn't mean
that you had to wait there.

That's way below your pay
grade. No, I know. I just thought...

I figured an-an extra set
of eyes wouldn't hurt.

Thank you,
but you should go home.

Get some rest.

Yeah. Okay.

Okay.

Night.

(phone buzzes)

(sighs)

(thunder rumbling)

Murphy! Just go
to Canada, Felix.

I'm not letting
you go to prison.

I don't need some dude's help,
thank you very much.

I'll find Jennifer's boyfriend
by myself.

Oh, my God.

Of course,
there is no boyfriend.

God, I'm such an idiot!

Listen, I only did what I did

because you don't listen
to anyone. All right?

And where was Max in all this?

It was
his stupid idea, huh?

So what?

So he could bone your sister
in peace while you abduct me?

(chuckles):
It's not like that.

Then what's it like, Felix?
What is it like? God, you're so...

stubborn sometimes. I...

We had nothing
but good intentions,

okay? Whatever.

You know what really sucks?
You know what really sucks?

Ever since I've known you,

even when I, like,
hated your guts, I never felt...

I-I never felt disabled
around you.

What?

You were a dick to me

just like you were
to everyone else.

Oh. Thanks.

I'm saying you weren't...

nice to me just...

because I can't see.

Okay.

Well...

So, what's your point?

(crying): That you
just used it against me.

You knew I wasn't gonna be able
to see where we were going.

Do you have any idea how
worthless that makes me feel?

Just please go.

I can't do that. Why?

Because!

Because why, Felix? Because
I'll make sure you don't go

to prison
for the rest of your life!

What about Jess?

You're just gonna
let her get killed?

Jess is already dead, Murphy!

She's already...

You take that back.

Sorry. I'm sorry. I'm
sorry. Take it back.

I-I didn't mean...

for that to come out
like that, okay?

But, Murphy,

whoever took Jess
from the hospital

killed her.

I didn't want to accept it,
either.

She called me.

You don't know
that that was her.

I do. I do know. I heard her.

Breathing.

You heard her
breathing, Murphy.

Come on.

Listen, I can't

just keep
following your gut

because she was your
best friend, okay?

She was my best friend, too.

And you know what my gut says?

That she was wanted dead

by a very dangerous
drug dealer,

and now she's
nowhere to be found, so...

We tried.

Just go, Felix.

I'm serious.
(breathes shakily)

I can't leave you.

What did you think?
You just thought I was gonna...

go to Canada and, like,
fall in love with you? (scoffs)

(laughing)

You're so pathetic!

(laughing)

I'm so sorry
I slept with you once

because Max wasn't around.
