1
00:00:17,465 --> 00:00:19,926
What in the name of little
billy goats are you doing?
2
00:00:20,010 --> 00:00:21,654
I woke up early and
I couldn't go back to sleep,
3
00:00:21,678 --> 00:00:24,556
so I started
reading your novel.
4
00:00:24,639 --> 00:00:28,310
Hold on.
I'm almost finished.
5
00:00:28,393 --> 00:00:31,313
Well, I-I on the other hand
am nowhere near finished.
6
00:00:37,068 --> 00:00:40,822
Um, you know,
several early scenes
7
00:00:40,905 --> 00:00:42,198
lack context
intentionally,
8
00:00:42,282 --> 00:00:44,743
which will be made clear
in the subsequent
9
00:00:44,826 --> 00:00:46,369
and as-of-now-unwritten
chapters...
10
00:00:46,453 --> 00:00:47,495
Shh!
11
00:00:51,833 --> 00:00:53,752
I'm merely just trying to
retroactively
12
00:00:53,835 --> 00:00:55,587
manage your expectations
is all.
13
00:01:03,428 --> 00:01:05,180
I love it.
14
00:01:05,263 --> 00:01:06,931
And I'm really
proud of you.
15
00:01:07,015 --> 00:01:09,351
Oh.
16
00:01:09,434 --> 00:01:11,186
Oh, I'm gonna be
late for work.
17
00:01:21,529 --> 00:01:25,450
You know, uh, I was thinking
about you yesterday
18
00:01:25,533 --> 00:01:27,373
while I was getting
my knives sharpened, and...
19
00:01:27,410 --> 00:01:29,704
Should I
be alarmed here?
20
00:01:29,788 --> 00:01:31,956
Uh, no.
The thought which sprang to mind
21
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,877
was decidedly
not homicidal.
22
00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:38,213
At any rate,
this particular cutler
23
00:01:38,296 --> 00:01:40,090
also happens
to be a key cutter.
24
00:01:49,682 --> 00:01:53,645
I want to very much see
more of you.
25
00:01:53,728 --> 00:01:56,940
And with your job taking up
so much of your time as of late,
26
00:01:57,023 --> 00:01:59,984
I just figured this might
make things a little bit easier.
27
00:02:00,068 --> 00:02:03,738
In case it is not clear,
it is a key to my apartment.
28
00:02:08,618 --> 00:02:11,371
Stephanie,
29
00:02:11,454 --> 00:02:13,123
I love you.
30
00:02:19,754 --> 00:02:21,256
I love you, too.
31
00:02:42,527 --> 00:02:43,862
So, things went well?
32
00:02:43,945 --> 00:02:46,406
Well, to put it bluntly,
33
00:02:46,489 --> 00:02:48,450
I'm meeting her
for ice cream at 17:30,
34
00:02:48,533 --> 00:02:51,786
and I'm still uncertain
as to my follow-up move.
35
00:02:51,870 --> 00:02:54,622
But I can recognize that
what transpired
36
00:02:54,706 --> 00:02:56,958
was a positive outcome.
37
00:02:57,041 --> 00:02:59,002
I have so little
frame of reference,
38
00:02:59,085 --> 00:03:01,379
I cannot hold it conceivable
what comes next.
39
00:03:01,463 --> 00:03:02,630
Do you love her?
40
00:03:02,714 --> 00:03:04,632
A strong affirmative.
41
00:03:04,716 --> 00:03:06,468
And she has said
that she reciprocates.
42
00:03:06,551 --> 00:03:08,720
Then relax.
43
00:03:08,803 --> 00:03:10,096
I'm serious.
44
00:03:10,180 --> 00:03:12,557
When a woman tells you
that she loves you,
45
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:13,975
believe her.
46
00:04:40,311 --> 00:04:42,814
Stephanie.
It's Eugene.
47
00:04:46,401 --> 00:04:47,902
Are you there?
48
00:04:51,573 --> 00:04:53,074
Stephanie!
49
00:04:58,663 --> 00:05:01,291
Stephanie!
50
00:05:01,374 --> 00:05:02,500
Stephanie, it's Eugene.
51
00:05:02,584 --> 00:05:04,127
Are you there?
52
00:05:16,180 --> 00:05:18,725
Stephanie!
53
00:05:18,808 --> 00:05:20,143
It's Eugene.
54
00:05:30,111 --> 00:05:31,779
Are you in there, Stephanie?
55
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,917
Looks good.
Put it to bed.
56
00:06:32,507 --> 00:06:35,218
Hold on.
57
00:06:35,301 --> 00:06:36,461
She says
it doesn't look good.
58
00:06:36,511 --> 00:06:38,721
Yeah, I got that one.
59
00:06:42,225 --> 00:06:47,271
"Trooper Davis has a story
to tell.
60
00:06:47,355 --> 00:06:48,355
He wouldn't risk
getting kicked out
61
00:06:48,356 --> 00:06:51,068
of Commonwealth
for no reason."
62
00:06:51,150 --> 00:06:52,777
That's right.
He didn't.
63
00:06:52,860 --> 00:06:54,171
We have a statement
from his doctors
64
00:06:54,195 --> 00:06:56,489
backing up
his PTSD claim.
65
00:06:56,572 --> 00:06:58,282
"Come on.
66
00:06:58,366 --> 00:07:00,702
I don't trust the military
doctors any more
67
00:07:00,785 --> 00:07:03,955
than I trust
the military command.
68
00:07:04,038 --> 00:07:08,126
Something happened
to Tyler Davis.
69
00:07:08,209 --> 00:07:12,130
Something that he blames
Governor Milton for.
70
00:07:12,213 --> 00:07:17,301
Something worth confronting her
in public over.
71
00:07:17,385 --> 00:07:19,846
And they clearly have a reason
for suppressing the truth."
72
00:07:19,929 --> 00:07:21,723
That's one
interpretation.
73
00:07:21,806 --> 00:07:24,350
The other is that Tyler Davis
had a mental-health crisis.
74
00:07:24,434 --> 00:07:26,060
And only one of
those interpretations
75
00:07:26,144 --> 00:07:27,520
has the facts
to support it.
76
00:07:31,691 --> 00:07:34,944
"He spoke of thousands
more like him.
77
00:07:35,027 --> 00:07:38,656
What does that mean?
78
00:07:38,740 --> 00:07:40,241
We should be..."
79
00:07:57,467 --> 00:08:00,052
"We should be printing
what really happened
80
00:08:00,136 --> 00:08:02,305
at the masquerade ball.
81
00:08:02,388 --> 00:08:04,515
But, instead, you want
to paraphrase
82
00:08:04,599 --> 00:08:06,684
what Governor Milton said
in her press release."
83
00:08:06,768 --> 00:08:07,769
No, Connie.
84
00:08:07,852 --> 00:08:09,061
I want you
to paraphrase
85
00:08:09,145 --> 00:08:10,480
Governor Milton's
press release
86
00:08:10,563 --> 00:08:12,857
so that the next time,
I don't have to.
87
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,924
Well, if no one's seen her
and no one's talked to her,
88
00:08:20,948 --> 00:08:22,575
how can she have
called in sick?
89
00:08:22,658 --> 00:08:24,076
I never said she did.
90
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,304
All I know is,
I was told to be here
91
00:08:25,328 --> 00:08:27,997
because
she didn't show up.
92
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,582
You mind?
93
00:09:04,158 --> 00:09:05,660
This is a private room.
94
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,792
"Tyler Davis...
does he have a lawyer?
95
00:09:12,875 --> 00:09:14,752
What are the charges
against him?"
96
00:09:25,388 --> 00:09:26,848
This is C.A.
97
00:09:26,931 --> 00:09:28,659
We've been asked to perform
a wellness check.
98
00:09:31,310 --> 00:09:33,062
Please open the door.
99
00:09:45,992 --> 00:09:48,953
She's not there.
100
00:09:49,036 --> 00:09:51,372
Then I'd like to make
a statement immediately,
101
00:09:51,455 --> 00:09:53,655
recount the details of her
last-knowns on the record now
102
00:09:53,708 --> 00:09:55,626
while this is still
fresh in my mind.
103
00:09:55,710 --> 00:09:57,378
Sure.
Come down to the station.
104
00:09:57,461 --> 00:09:59,255
I'll help you fill out
the paperwork.
105
00:10:42,173 --> 00:10:44,675
How often do you
take trips like this?
106
00:10:44,759 --> 00:10:47,762
Not as often
as I'd like.
107
00:10:47,845 --> 00:10:51,432
This probably sounds crazy,
but I feel like
108
00:10:51,515 --> 00:10:53,076
I'm better out here
than I am in the city.
109
00:10:53,100 --> 00:10:57,146
It doesn't sound crazy
at all.
110
00:10:57,229 --> 00:10:59,690
A lot of my people
feel that way, too.
111
00:10:59,774 --> 00:11:02,693
You still see this
as your people and my people.
112
00:11:02,777 --> 00:11:04,362
I want you to see
how this place works,
113
00:11:04,445 --> 00:11:09,659
because I want you
to be a part of it.
114
00:11:09,742 --> 00:11:13,329
I've done fairly well,
all things considered,
115
00:11:13,412 --> 00:11:16,457
but let's just say
I didn't start out on the top.
116
00:11:16,540 --> 00:11:20,002
Is that where
you are now?
117
00:11:20,086 --> 00:11:21,504
Hardly.
118
00:11:21,587 --> 00:11:24,548
Governor Milton
runs the city.
119
00:11:24,632 --> 00:11:27,510
But I know how it runs.
120
00:11:27,593 --> 00:11:30,221
Because you started out
at the bottom.
121
00:11:30,304 --> 00:11:34,892
I proved myself to the Milton
family a long time ago.
122
00:11:34,976 --> 00:11:36,936
If you're in with
the right people, Carol,
123
00:11:37,019 --> 00:11:40,189
the sky's the limit.
124
00:11:40,272 --> 00:11:42,417
And one of the things you learn
as you're climbing your way up
125
00:11:42,441 --> 00:11:45,236
is that there are two types
of people in any organization.
126
00:11:45,319 --> 00:11:47,655
On the one hand,
you've got the mercenaries.
127
00:11:47,738 --> 00:11:50,074
They're in it for the money
and whatever psychological itch
128
00:11:50,157 --> 00:11:53,285
their position
allows them to scratch.
129
00:11:53,369 --> 00:11:57,498
And on the other,
you have the patriots,
130
00:11:57,581 --> 00:12:00,876
the true believers,
the ones who want to do good.
131
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,688
And whether they are or not
might be up to debate,
132
00:12:02,712 --> 00:12:04,032
but in their hearts,
they're there
133
00:12:04,088 --> 00:12:07,717
because they believe
in the organization.
134
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,260
Is that why I'm here?
135
00:12:09,343 --> 00:12:12,138
You want to make
a true believer out of me?
136
00:12:12,221 --> 00:12:13,389
I read your file.
137
00:12:13,472 --> 00:12:14,765
You're here
because you're smart.
138
00:12:14,849 --> 00:12:16,118
I think you'll be
able to help me
139
00:12:16,142 --> 00:12:18,769
deal with this asshole.
140
00:12:18,853 --> 00:12:20,604
What you get out of it
is up to you.
141
00:12:58,559 --> 00:12:59,727
What are we?
142
00:12:59,810 --> 00:13:01,312
Drug dealers
or smugglers?
143
00:13:03,856 --> 00:13:05,232
We're smugglers.
144
00:13:05,316 --> 00:13:08,402
But it's not
what you think.
145
00:13:08,486 --> 00:13:10,547
This place is not exactly
a part of the Commonwealth,
146
00:13:10,571 --> 00:13:13,365
but they need us,
and we need them.
147
00:13:13,449 --> 00:13:16,827
We use the poppies to make
opium for the hospital.
148
00:13:16,911 --> 00:13:20,164
Things will start looking pretty
bleak there if we run out.
149
00:13:20,247 --> 00:13:21,999
I make sure
that doesn't happen.
150
00:13:22,083 --> 00:13:24,585
But, sometimes, that means
dealing with guys like Moto.
151
00:13:24,668 --> 00:13:26,337
I told you
what was gonna happen.
152
00:13:29,090 --> 00:13:30,341
And I asked you
to manage it.
153
00:13:30,424 --> 00:13:33,177
I talked him into processing
this last batch.
154
00:13:33,260 --> 00:13:34,637
Best I could do.
155
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,515
I told you they're gonna
hold the harvest hostage.
156
00:13:37,598 --> 00:13:38,766
They want a raise.
157
00:13:38,849 --> 00:13:40,726
They swear they'll let it
rot without one.
158
00:13:42,895 --> 00:13:47,274
Well,
let's see what we can do.
159
00:13:57,785 --> 00:13:59,036
Hey.
160
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,789
We're with
the Tribune.
161
00:14:01,872 --> 00:14:04,333
You're in number 2.
162
00:14:08,504 --> 00:14:11,340
Yeah, he said wait
for recon to burn.
163
00:14:11,423 --> 00:14:14,218
Alright.
164
00:14:14,301 --> 00:14:15,845
Alright,
let's march it down.
165
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,559
There's still some room
over here.
166
00:14:28,357 --> 00:14:29,942
Let me know
when we're ready.
167
00:14:45,332 --> 00:14:47,918
Alright.
168
00:14:49,336 --> 00:14:51,797
Let's roll.
169
00:14:59,054 --> 00:15:00,347
Hey.
170
00:15:00,431 --> 00:15:03,142
I haven't
seen you around.
171
00:15:03,225 --> 00:15:04,727
How are you holding up?
172
00:15:04,810 --> 00:15:07,646
I'm functioning within
to-be-expected parameters.
173
00:15:07,730 --> 00:15:08,522
Yeah, no,
I can see that.
174
00:15:08,523 --> 00:15:10,107
Uh,
so can you let me in?
175
00:15:10,191 --> 00:15:11,775
I brought lasagna.
176
00:15:32,171 --> 00:15:33,923
This is an empty dish.
177
00:15:34,006 --> 00:15:36,050
Oh, yeah, sorry.
178
00:15:36,133 --> 00:15:38,010
I didn't make lasagna.
179
00:15:38,093 --> 00:15:42,514
People just always have to let
you in if you're carrying food.
180
00:15:42,598 --> 00:15:46,018
So, what's up?
181
00:15:51,023 --> 00:15:52,733
When the C.A.
gave up the search,
182
00:15:52,816 --> 00:15:53,732
I decided to investigate
183
00:15:53,734 --> 00:15:55,986
Stephanie's disappearance
myself.
184
00:16:01,283 --> 00:16:04,119
Truth be told,
as the hours tick by
185
00:16:04,203 --> 00:16:06,664
with nary a bread crumb
to be found,
186
00:16:06,747 --> 00:16:08,791
I let my despair
get the best of me.
187
00:16:11,627 --> 00:16:14,255
That is, until a chance
encounter put me on the trail.
188
00:16:27,726 --> 00:16:29,979
Sir. Sir.
189
00:16:32,064 --> 00:16:35,067
Sir, I need to talk to you.
190
00:16:35,150 --> 00:16:37,861
Please,
I need to talk...
191
00:16:43,158 --> 00:16:46,537
1634 Racine.
192
00:16:46,620 --> 00:16:49,206
It's an apartment building
in Residential One.
193
00:16:49,290 --> 00:16:52,042
Three days ago,
you were seen...
194
00:16:52,126 --> 00:16:55,212
At 7:00 in the p.m., you were
seen coming down the stairs.
195
00:16:55,296 --> 00:16:56,797
- I don't remember this.
- Uh, wait.
196
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,424
Uh, sir, sir.
197
00:16:58,507 --> 00:17:00,050
Sir, please.
198
00:17:03,637 --> 00:17:05,365
Someone near and dear
to me has gone missing,
199
00:17:05,389 --> 00:17:08,434
and you may have seen something
that might help me find her.
200
00:17:11,312 --> 00:17:13,272
Where was this?
201
00:17:13,355 --> 00:17:15,858
Residential One.
202
00:17:15,941 --> 00:17:20,529
Three days ago, at approximately
7:00 in the p.m.
203
00:17:20,612 --> 00:17:22,031
Yeah.
204
00:17:22,114 --> 00:17:23,114
At Residential One.
205
00:17:23,115 --> 00:17:24,743
I remember that now.
206
00:17:24,825 --> 00:17:27,411
I got called in to fix
a clogged sink.
207
00:17:27,494 --> 00:17:31,623
What... Do... Do you
remember seeing her there?
208
00:17:35,544 --> 00:17:38,922
Do you remember
seeing her there?
209
00:17:39,006 --> 00:17:40,591
Or anything suspicious
210
00:17:40,674 --> 00:17:44,386
in or around the premises
that night?
211
00:17:44,470 --> 00:17:46,263
No.
212
00:17:46,347 --> 00:17:48,098
We done?
213
00:17:48,182 --> 00:17:50,351
I sincerely apologize
for having troubled you.
214
00:17:50,434 --> 00:17:52,853
If there's a better time
in which we could talk...
215
00:17:55,689 --> 00:17:57,483
Needless to say,
I greeted his story
216
00:17:57,566 --> 00:17:59,818
with a great deal
of skepticism.
217
00:17:59,902 --> 00:18:02,047
There were no city service carts
on the street that night,
218
00:18:02,071 --> 00:18:04,365
nor was he wearing any sort
of identifying uniform
219
00:18:04,448 --> 00:18:05,574
or carrying any tools.
220
00:18:05,657 --> 00:18:07,326
I found it very peculiar
221
00:18:07,409 --> 00:18:09,036
that the one person
I knew was there
222
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:10,680
the night she disappeared
happened to have
223
00:18:10,704 --> 00:18:12,122
such a flimsy alibi.
224
00:18:16,210 --> 00:18:17,503
So I started
following him.
225
00:18:23,384 --> 00:18:26,136
So, like, what's
this plumber's deal?
226
00:18:30,015 --> 00:18:33,310
To start with,
his name is Roman Calhoun.
227
00:18:36,438 --> 00:18:38,982
And he is most definitely
not a plumber.
228
00:18:43,862 --> 00:18:47,116
He mostly conducts
his business at night.
229
00:18:47,199 --> 00:18:50,327
His base of operations
is a building
230
00:18:50,411 --> 00:18:52,079
in the warehouse district,
231
00:18:52,162 --> 00:18:53,973
which purports to be a purveyor
of plumbing services
232
00:18:53,997 --> 00:18:56,500
and which, on the surface,
appears to be legitimate.
233
00:18:56,583 --> 00:19:00,421
However, they never
receive any mail.
234
00:19:00,504 --> 00:19:02,899
There's lights on at odd hours,
when they're ostensibly closed.
235
00:19:02,923 --> 00:19:04,091
And while people
go in and out
236
00:19:04,174 --> 00:19:05,592
with a fair degree
of regularity,
237
00:19:05,676 --> 00:19:08,637
it's usually just the same
four people over and over.
238
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,014
They usually arrive alone
and depart shortly thereafter
239
00:19:11,098 --> 00:19:12,850
and frequently meeting
in groups of two.
240
00:19:12,933 --> 00:19:14,810
And on the one occasion
they were all together,
241
00:19:14,893 --> 00:19:17,729
they were also
met by a fifth,
242
00:19:17,813 --> 00:19:22,443
who I also believe
to be the head honcho,
243
00:19:22,526 --> 00:19:24,736
the mastermind of some sort
of rogue element
244
00:19:24,820 --> 00:19:27,698
within the government that
Stephanie somehow ran afoul of.
245
00:19:29,533 --> 00:19:30,742
Rogue element?
246
00:19:30,826 --> 00:19:32,911
Like, you think
she was kidnapped
247
00:19:32,995 --> 00:19:34,872
by the government
or something?
248
00:19:34,955 --> 00:19:36,540
Shortly after
I began my search,
249
00:19:36,623 --> 00:19:37,934
the man who later
became known to me
250
00:19:37,958 --> 00:19:41,211
as Co-Conspirator Number Two,
a.k.a. "Beanie Hat Man,"
251
00:19:41,295 --> 00:19:43,589
showed up
to Stephanie's apartment
252
00:19:43,672 --> 00:19:46,925
with a team of movers,
collected all her belongings,
253
00:19:47,009 --> 00:19:49,595
and took them
to an unknown location.
254
00:19:49,678 --> 00:19:54,057
Then, that same day,
this was found
255
00:19:54,141 --> 00:19:57,603
in Stephanie's file
at Union Station.
256
00:19:57,686 --> 00:19:59,980
It's a work-transfer request
signed by Stephanie
257
00:20:00,063 --> 00:20:02,649
on the day
of her disappearance.
258
00:20:02,733 --> 00:20:04,544
The man who filled in for her
at the radio room
259
00:20:04,568 --> 00:20:07,696
that day told me
she gave no notice whatsoever.
260
00:20:07,779 --> 00:20:10,199
Such orders could not be
falsified or fabricated
261
00:20:10,282 --> 00:20:13,702
without direct influence
from within the halls of power.
262
00:20:13,785 --> 00:20:15,871
She knew they were
coming for her.
263
00:20:15,954 --> 00:20:18,248
When she eluded them,
they filed that false
264
00:20:18,332 --> 00:20:21,502
work transfer to cover up
her disappearance.
265
00:20:21,585 --> 00:20:23,587
They took all her belongings
to recover
266
00:20:23,670 --> 00:20:25,130
any evidence
she may have gathered,
267
00:20:25,214 --> 00:20:28,258
and now silencing her
is the last step
268
00:20:28,342 --> 00:20:29,885
in repairing that leak.
269
00:20:34,348 --> 00:20:37,768
If I'm right,
270
00:20:37,851 --> 00:20:40,354
her only hope
is for me to expose them
271
00:20:40,437 --> 00:20:41,939
before they find her.
272
00:20:47,361 --> 00:20:48,487
Good hatches this year?
273
00:20:48,570 --> 00:20:50,072
Yes, sir.
274
00:20:50,155 --> 00:20:52,449
We catch enough that I can
actually just do it for fun.
275
00:20:52,533 --> 00:20:55,494
It's nice when your hobby
is also an apocalypse skill.
276
00:20:55,577 --> 00:20:58,956
Amen to that.
277
00:20:59,039 --> 00:21:00,916
So, I can't give them
what they want,
278
00:21:00,999 --> 00:21:02,584
but maybe
we can meet halfway.
279
00:21:02,668 --> 00:21:05,629
They get a raise,
but they earn it.
280
00:21:05,712 --> 00:21:06,964
Incentives.
281
00:21:07,047 --> 00:21:09,091
Produce more,
282
00:21:09,174 --> 00:21:10,467
make more.
283
00:21:12,511 --> 00:21:14,263
Best I can do.
284
00:23:02,496 --> 00:23:04,081
See what
you need to see?
285
00:23:08,377 --> 00:23:10,712
"More than enough."
286
00:23:10,796 --> 00:23:12,106
Then this is the part
where you ask me
287
00:23:12,130 --> 00:23:14,049
the questions
they sent you.
288
00:23:27,729 --> 00:23:30,023
"It's been a month since
former trooper Tyler Davis
289
00:23:30,107 --> 00:23:33,360
has been in the hospital
under armed guard.
290
00:23:33,443 --> 00:23:37,030
What is he
being charged with?"
291
00:23:37,114 --> 00:23:38,907
That's not one
of the questions.
292
00:23:40,659 --> 00:23:42,178
"Does it have anything to do
with the fact
293
00:23:42,202 --> 00:23:46,623
that the woman he took hostage
was your sister?"
294
00:23:46,707 --> 00:23:49,167
I was wondering when you were
gonna figure that out.
295
00:23:52,212 --> 00:23:55,048
For the record,
the answer is,
296
00:23:55,132 --> 00:23:57,676
my sister don't have
a goddamn thing to do with it.
297
00:24:01,847 --> 00:24:03,765
"He was loyal,
298
00:24:03,849 --> 00:24:06,810
recommended for
early promotion...
299
00:24:06,893 --> 00:24:08,895
by you.
300
00:24:08,979 --> 00:24:11,732
And he wound up feeling like
the military
301
00:24:11,815 --> 00:24:14,484
was being manipulated
by the politicians."
302
00:24:16,778 --> 00:24:20,699
"If I was you, I would be
really interested
303
00:24:20,782 --> 00:24:24,327
in who I was risking
my life for."
304
00:24:24,411 --> 00:24:27,873
And if I were you,
I might wonder why I'm out here
305
00:24:27,956 --> 00:24:29,583
digging for answers
that we both know
306
00:24:29,666 --> 00:24:31,293
will never see
the light of day.
307
00:24:49,519 --> 00:24:52,731
Hey, Eugene,
308
00:24:52,814 --> 00:24:58,028
it's really cool,
you know?
309
00:24:58,111 --> 00:24:59,613
You doing
so much for her.
310
00:24:59,696 --> 00:25:03,241
Strike that.
Reverse that.
311
00:25:03,325 --> 00:25:06,119
I'm merely trying to repay
what I owe.
312
00:25:11,792 --> 00:25:13,585
Mm.
313
00:25:13,668 --> 00:25:15,545
I made a promise to myself
in those early days,
314
00:25:15,629 --> 00:25:17,815
back when we thought this would
all blow over in a few weeks,
315
00:25:17,839 --> 00:25:20,050
that if I lived
through this,
316
00:25:20,133 --> 00:25:23,136
I'd pursue my dream of becoming
a science-fiction author.
317
00:25:27,682 --> 00:25:29,810
I have jokingly related
that story to Stephanie
318
00:25:29,893 --> 00:25:32,562
over the radio.
319
00:25:32,646 --> 00:25:36,233
And she told me,
320
00:25:36,316 --> 00:25:38,252
"You can't wait till after
you've lived through it,
321
00:25:38,276 --> 00:25:42,697
'cause ready or not,
right now is all we've got."
322
00:25:47,869 --> 00:25:49,305
She gave me the courage
to do something
323
00:25:49,329 --> 00:25:50,664
I've always wanted to do,
324
00:25:50,747 --> 00:25:52,707
and when someone can do that
for you, well...
325
00:25:54,793 --> 00:25:57,963
...words like love
seem insufficient.
326
00:26:02,676 --> 00:26:04,302
Mm.
327
00:26:13,687 --> 00:26:15,522
Shit.
328
00:26:19,609 --> 00:26:21,236
Let's go.
329
00:26:21,319 --> 00:26:22,904
You want to break
into his apartment?
330
00:26:22,988 --> 00:26:24,698
Yeah.
331
00:26:24,781 --> 00:26:26,324
I don't want to get in trouble,
Eugene.
332
00:26:26,408 --> 00:26:28,577
I got a little job.
I got a little bed.
333
00:26:28,660 --> 00:26:31,663
I might get a little cat.
334
00:26:31,746 --> 00:26:33,248
This is so bad.
335
00:26:33,331 --> 00:26:34,916
His Tuesday 10-mile
is ironclad.
336
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,753
He'll be gone
for 90 minutes.
337
00:26:38,837 --> 00:26:40,297
Please.
338
00:26:40,380 --> 00:26:42,632
Princess, he's the key
339
00:26:42,716 --> 00:26:44,026
to cracking this
whole thing wide open.
340
00:26:44,050 --> 00:26:45,427
I just know it.
341
00:26:55,937 --> 00:26:58,023
Sorry we can't stay
for the fish fry.
342
00:26:58,106 --> 00:26:59,149
Next time, my friend.
343
00:26:59,232 --> 00:27:00,483
Yeah, deal.
344
00:27:09,034 --> 00:27:11,953
Well,
what do you think?
345
00:27:15,874 --> 00:27:18,418
He's robbing them.
346
00:27:18,501 --> 00:27:21,504
I talked to one
of the lieutenants.
347
00:27:21,588 --> 00:27:23,715
He's pocketing the money
that you give them for raises
348
00:27:23,798 --> 00:27:25,358
and beating them
to keep quiet about it.
349
00:27:25,425 --> 00:27:27,969
He went too far
the other night,
350
00:27:28,053 --> 00:27:29,638
and that's why
they're on strike.
351
00:27:35,727 --> 00:27:37,520
They'll get their money back
352
00:27:37,604 --> 00:27:41,107
and the raise
I just promised them.
353
00:27:41,191 --> 00:27:43,526
What about Moto?
354
00:27:43,610 --> 00:27:47,072
Well, I'm not gonna go fishing
with him anymore,
355
00:27:47,155 --> 00:27:48,698
that's for sure.
356
00:27:52,035 --> 00:27:53,536
Take him into custody now.
357
00:28:01,461 --> 00:28:02,754
Hey!
What... What the hell?
358
00:28:02,837 --> 00:28:04,756
Get your hands
off of me.
359
00:28:04,839 --> 00:28:06,716
Hornsby!
360
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,301
You mother-pussbucket!
361
00:28:48,466 --> 00:28:49,843
Hey, Eugene?
362
00:28:49,926 --> 00:28:52,429
What's this guy do when it rains
on his 10-mile run?
363
00:28:52,512 --> 00:28:54,198
Well, given our recent
lack of precipitation,
364
00:28:54,222 --> 00:28:56,808
I've not yet
gathered that data.
365
00:28:56,891 --> 00:28:59,269
Well, you have now.
He's here.
366
00:28:59,352 --> 00:29:02,022
We have to
get out of here.
367
00:29:02,105 --> 00:29:03,732
Count off his range.
368
00:29:03,815 --> 00:29:04,815
What?
369
00:29:04,858 --> 00:29:07,944
His range...
50, 40, 30.
370
00:29:08,028 --> 00:29:09,279
I'm not good at that.
371
00:29:09,362 --> 00:29:11,072
Just tell me
how much time I have.
372
00:29:11,156 --> 00:29:13,491
Dude, I am telling you
how much time you have,
373
00:29:13,575 --> 00:29:15,035
and you have no time.
374
00:29:35,764 --> 00:29:37,432
I saw them
on the ladder outside.
375
00:29:37,515 --> 00:29:38,975
Couldn't have
gotten that far.
376
00:29:39,059 --> 00:29:41,311
Hey! There they are!
That's them!
377
00:30:05,418 --> 00:30:06,812
General Mercer,
how can I help you?
378
00:30:06,836 --> 00:30:08,838
Where is the patient
who was in M-33
379
00:30:08,922 --> 00:30:11,174
and the soldiers
that were with him?
380
00:30:11,257 --> 00:30:13,802
There's no one
in M-33.
381
00:30:13,885 --> 00:30:17,055
I realize that.
382
00:30:17,138 --> 00:30:20,850
I want to know what happened
to the man who was in there.
383
00:30:20,934 --> 00:30:24,187
He can't be moved
without my authorization.
384
00:30:24,270 --> 00:30:26,189
I'm sorry, but, apparently,
he can.
385
00:30:35,281 --> 00:30:38,409
I'm truly sorry that
I manipulated you
386
00:30:38,493 --> 00:30:40,829
into accompanying me on
this lame-brained misadventure.
387
00:30:40,912 --> 00:30:42,914
I fully intend to make known
that you had no role
388
00:30:42,997 --> 00:30:46,543
in planning my scheme and no
witting part in its execution.
389
00:30:53,967 --> 00:30:55,093
Hey.
390
00:30:55,176 --> 00:30:56,803
I just got back in town.
391
00:30:59,848 --> 00:31:02,517
What the hell,
you two?
392
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:07,063
Well, Roman Calhoun is
exactly who he says he is.
393
00:31:07,147 --> 00:31:08,940
He's a plumber at Ruby's.
394
00:31:11,067 --> 00:31:12,986
They've been a little lazy
with the paperwork,
395
00:31:13,069 --> 00:31:15,363
but they do have
a contract with the city.
396
00:31:15,446 --> 00:31:19,159
And, according to this invoice,
Mr. Calhoun was sent
397
00:31:19,242 --> 00:31:20,869
to Stephanie's building
on the night
398
00:31:20,952 --> 00:31:26,416
you saw him there
to fix a sink in a work area.
399
00:31:26,499 --> 00:31:30,003
But what about the kidnap kit
we found in his closet?
400
00:31:30,086 --> 00:31:31,796
Those weapons
are illegal.
401
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:32,880
For you.
402
00:31:32,881 --> 00:31:35,217
He's a full citizen.
He has a license.
403
00:31:35,300 --> 00:31:36,593
A lot of us have go bags,
404
00:31:36,676 --> 00:31:38,761
even people who have been here
for years.
405
00:31:45,435 --> 00:31:46,978
I told Calhoun your story,
406
00:31:47,061 --> 00:31:48,730
told him about Stephanie,
407
00:31:48,813 --> 00:31:50,607
explained everything
you've been through,
408
00:31:50,690 --> 00:31:53,067
the mental anguish
that it's caused you,
409
00:31:53,151 --> 00:31:57,113
and he has agreed
to not press charges.
410
00:31:57,197 --> 00:32:00,325
But you have to
leave him alone.
411
00:32:00,408 --> 00:32:03,786
Oh, and sign that.
412
00:32:03,870 --> 00:32:06,998
It states you were
emotionally distraught
413
00:32:07,081 --> 00:32:08,583
and in a paranoid state
414
00:32:08,666 --> 00:32:11,127
following the disappearance
of your girlfriend.
415
00:32:11,211 --> 00:32:14,130
I'm sorry this didn't lead
where you thought it would.
416
00:32:14,214 --> 00:32:16,841
You were wrong about Calhoun,
and you need to accept that,
417
00:32:16,925 --> 00:32:20,720
because if you don't,
I'm not gonna be able to help.
418
00:32:54,837 --> 00:32:56,714
I should have known.
419
00:32:56,798 --> 00:32:59,133
The conspiracy goes deeper
than I initially thought.
420
00:32:59,217 --> 00:33:00,635
Dude,
none of this is happening!
421
00:33:00,718 --> 00:33:02,428
Stephanie
broke up with you.
422
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:06,933
That's utterly absurd.
423
00:33:07,016 --> 00:33:08,535
Look, I've been thinking it,
but, you know,
424
00:33:08,559 --> 00:33:10,687
what if you were right
about this Calhoun guy?
425
00:33:10,770 --> 00:33:13,648
But the dude is a plumber,
Euge.
426
00:33:13,731 --> 00:33:16,067
You've got...
Mira.
427
00:33:16,150 --> 00:33:18,695
You've got
Stephanie's work-transfer order.
428
00:33:18,778 --> 00:33:23,533
Moving guys literally came
and took her furniture.
429
00:33:23,616 --> 00:33:27,412
Maybe it's not
that complicated.
430
00:33:27,495 --> 00:33:29,330
But the first bit of advice
you gave me was,
431
00:33:29,414 --> 00:33:31,916
"When a woman tells you
she loves you, believe her."
432
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,461
Yeah, well, when a woman
quits her job
433
00:33:35,545 --> 00:33:37,714
and moves away
without telling you,
434
00:33:37,797 --> 00:33:39,966
maybe you should
believe that, too.
435
00:33:53,354 --> 00:33:58,026
The day my dad
had enough,
436
00:33:58,109 --> 00:34:00,528
my man just split.
437
00:34:00,611 --> 00:34:04,324
And I thought
that it was because
438
00:34:04,407 --> 00:34:07,744
I smoked his cigarettes.
439
00:34:07,827 --> 00:34:11,164
And I never
saw him again.
440
00:34:11,247 --> 00:34:15,084
So, who knows?
441
00:34:15,168 --> 00:34:16,919
Maybe that was it.
442
00:34:18,713 --> 00:34:22,759
I mean, you can think
you know someone
443
00:34:22,842 --> 00:34:27,930
and then find out
you never even met them.
444
00:34:30,516 --> 00:34:32,185
Yeah, it sucks, man.
445
00:34:34,854 --> 00:34:36,981
But it happens
all the time.
446
00:34:41,235 --> 00:34:45,281
I can appreciate how you might
reach that conclusion.
447
00:34:45,365 --> 00:34:50,536
However, I'm privy to one piece
of data that you are not.
448
00:34:56,834 --> 00:34:58,336
I know how it felt.
449
00:35:03,549 --> 00:35:05,343
Okay.
450
00:35:05,426 --> 00:35:08,638
Well,
it was just a theory.
451
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,609
Hey!
452
00:38:09,819 --> 00:38:11,821
Aah!
453
00:38:14,323 --> 00:38:16,075
I told you
I heard something.
454
00:38:36,929 --> 00:38:38,472
I'll handle it.
455
00:38:55,948 --> 00:38:57,116
You played me.
456
00:39:01,495 --> 00:39:04,165
I knew.
457
00:39:04,248 --> 00:39:07,668
You corroborated
Calhoun's bogus alibi,
458
00:39:07,752 --> 00:39:09,754
I was certain you were involved
with covering up
459
00:39:09,837 --> 00:39:11,547
Stephanie's disappearance.
460
00:39:13,966 --> 00:39:18,804
But now I realize the depths
of my self-delusion,
461
00:39:18,888 --> 00:39:22,016
because Occam's razor should
have led me to this conclusion
462
00:39:22,099 --> 00:39:24,935
before a well-placed kick
to the belly ever did.
463
00:39:32,818 --> 00:39:35,488
There was never
any Stephanie.
464
00:39:37,657 --> 00:39:39,992
Who is she?
465
00:39:40,076 --> 00:39:41,994
Is she an undercover agent?
466
00:39:44,288 --> 00:39:45,748
A con artist
that owes you a favor?
467
00:39:45,831 --> 00:39:47,500
Well,
she was very convincing.
468
00:39:50,419 --> 00:39:53,798
You used her to pull
at my heartstrings
469
00:39:53,881 --> 00:39:55,424
and to trick me
into telling you
470
00:39:55,508 --> 00:39:57,802
everything you wanted to know
about our communities.
471
00:39:57,885 --> 00:39:59,512
Well, it worked.
472
00:40:02,139 --> 00:40:04,100
She led me
to the train yard,
473
00:40:04,183 --> 00:40:06,185
where we were
captured by you!
474
00:40:09,355 --> 00:40:11,774
You thought I wa...
you thought I was an easy mark,
475
00:40:11,857 --> 00:40:13,776
the most trusting of the police,
so you...
476
00:40:13,859 --> 00:40:15,611
you split off my friends
one at a time,
477
00:40:15,695 --> 00:40:18,823
thinking I'd break,
but I didn't break.
478
00:40:18,906 --> 00:40:20,658
Then she led me to the...
the radio room,
479
00:40:20,741 --> 00:40:23,035
where we were
captured again.
480
00:40:23,119 --> 00:40:25,913
Oh, and you certainly got
your money's worth there.
481
00:40:25,996 --> 00:40:29,709
I actually fell
for that one twice!
482
00:40:29,792 --> 00:40:32,002
She's the one that told me
I can trust you!
483
00:40:34,797 --> 00:40:38,342
And I did.
484
00:40:38,426 --> 00:40:41,971
She even read my book
so that she could get
485
00:40:42,054 --> 00:40:44,974
any helpful
autobiographical information
486
00:40:45,057 --> 00:40:47,059
that might
serve your needs!
487
00:40:50,521 --> 00:40:54,024
But now that you've gotten
everything you wanted, what?!
488
00:40:54,108 --> 00:40:56,652
No need to
continue the ruse?!
489
00:40:56,736 --> 00:40:57,903
Is that it?!
490
00:41:01,449 --> 00:41:05,411
But you didn't see
this twist.
491
00:41:05,494 --> 00:41:07,163
I am gonna make
absolutely certain
492
00:41:07,246 --> 00:41:11,917
that everybody knows exactly
who and what you are.
493
00:41:17,798 --> 00:41:21,093
Okay.
494
00:41:21,177 --> 00:41:24,346
And who or what is that,
exactly?
495
00:41:24,430 --> 00:41:27,141
The villain?
496
00:41:27,224 --> 00:41:30,311
The boogeyman?
497
00:41:30,394 --> 00:41:33,063
Or the best goddamn thing
that ever happened to you?
498
00:41:35,941 --> 00:41:38,235
You're right, Eugene.
499
00:41:38,319 --> 00:41:40,905
I did lie to you.
500
00:41:40,988 --> 00:41:42,531
Just like you
and your friends
501
00:41:42,615 --> 00:41:44,617
lied through your teeth
to get inside these walls.
502
00:41:44,700 --> 00:41:46,243
No. No.
503
00:41:46,327 --> 00:41:48,662
But who's keeping score,
right?
504
00:41:48,746 --> 00:41:51,081
So, I did what I had to do
to get you here.
505
00:41:51,165 --> 00:41:54,084
And you know what? You should be
thanking me for it.
506
00:41:54,168 --> 00:41:56,212
It's not my fault you people
are too stupid to know
507
00:41:56,295 --> 00:41:59,882
a good thing
when it landed in your laps.
508
00:41:59,965 --> 00:42:02,551
You're just...
you're just admitting it?
509
00:42:06,472 --> 00:42:10,226
I fell in love, and everything
I know about her is a fiction!
510
00:42:10,309 --> 00:42:11,745
Look, we tried to
rip the Band-Aid off
511
00:42:11,769 --> 00:42:13,229
when we saw
it was getting serious,
512
00:42:13,312 --> 00:42:15,791
and I did everything I could to
get you to stop looking for her,
513
00:42:15,815 --> 00:42:18,025
but you wouldn't.
514
00:42:18,108 --> 00:42:19,610
And here we are.
515
00:42:22,154 --> 00:42:24,073
At least you can stop now,
right?
516
00:42:27,326 --> 00:42:30,788
It wasn't gonna get better
for your people, Eugene.
517
00:42:30,871 --> 00:42:32,456
They were about to starve.
518
00:42:34,667 --> 00:42:36,210
And now you're here
519
00:42:36,293 --> 00:42:37,878
and your community
is getting fixed
520
00:42:37,962 --> 00:42:39,129
and you've got everything,
521
00:42:39,213 --> 00:42:42,299
from concerts
to cancer surgery.
522
00:42:42,383 --> 00:42:45,177
And literally the only thing
we've ever asked of you all
523
00:42:45,261 --> 00:42:49,139
in return is to be productive
members of society here
524
00:42:49,223 --> 00:42:51,934
for as long
as you choose to stay.
525
00:42:54,019 --> 00:42:56,564
So, tell them
whatever you want.
526
00:42:56,647 --> 00:42:59,900
The statement you signed
to get out of jail
527
00:42:59,984 --> 00:43:02,194
says you were suffering
from paranoia
528
00:43:02,278 --> 00:43:04,780
as a result of
nervous strain.
529
00:43:08,033 --> 00:43:10,661
Remember?
530
00:43:10,744 --> 00:43:15,291
I mean,
look at you, Eugene.
531
00:43:15,374 --> 00:43:20,045
This has obviously
taken a toll.
532
00:43:20,129 --> 00:43:22,965
Am I sorry your heart
got broken?
533
00:43:23,048 --> 00:43:25,342
Absolutely.
534
00:43:25,426 --> 00:43:27,066
And I'm sure your friends
will be very sad
535
00:43:27,094 --> 00:43:28,804
to hear about it, too.
536
00:43:28,888 --> 00:43:32,600
But in the balance
of things,
537
00:43:32,683 --> 00:43:35,686
I still think it worked out
in everyone's favor.
538
00:43:35,769 --> 00:43:37,646
And they probably would,
too.
539
00:43:47,615 --> 00:43:49,491
Oh.
540
00:43:49,575 --> 00:43:52,536
By the way,
541
00:43:52,620 --> 00:43:55,956
Stephanie's real name
is Shira.
542
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,250
And she hates
Iron Maiden.
543
00:43:58,334 --> 00:44:00,878
But she genuinely enjoyed
your book.
544
00:44:03,631 --> 00:44:05,299
You should stick with it.
545
00:45:07,403 --> 00:45:10,447
Eugene?
546
00:45:10,531 --> 00:45:12,074
Are you alright?
547
00:45:14,159 --> 00:45:16,036
Eugene,
I need to talk to you.
548
00:45:21,250 --> 00:45:22,918
Tater Bug.
549
00:45:23,002 --> 00:45:24,670
This is Blue Weevil
to Tater Bug.
550
00:45:24,753 --> 00:45:27,214
Please come back.
551
00:45:39,727 --> 00:45:41,228
Who are you?
552
00:45:43,814 --> 00:45:45,274
It's me.
553
00:45:49,236 --> 00:45:51,655
I'm the one you were talking to
on the radio.
