[POLKA MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh, what filthy creatures. Ugh!

Jeez. Ugh. [MUTTERING]

BOY: Hey, Angel.

You gonna try out for the team?

No. It's... It's not really my thing.

I was watching you.

You're pretty good, pretty fast.

Pack on some muscle, you
make a decent running back.

[CHUCKLES] You know,

every spring break,
the team heads down to Florida.

It's like a week-long f*ckin' party.

Coaches come, but...

they don't give a sh*t what we do.

[EXHALING]

You should come.

Uh-huh.

Think about it.

We'd have fun.

[CHUCKLES]

- [BACKGROUND CHATTER]

What are you looking at, Lopez?!

- Nothing.
- f*ck you!

[ANGEL] Ow!

Please stop!

Stop, please! Ow!

No f*ckin' faggots in the locker room!

[ANGEL'S SCREAMS ECHO]

[ANGEL] Enough! Enough! Stop!
Please! Stop! Please! Stop!

Ow! Ow... No! [GRUNTING]

Hmm?

- Yeah?

Yeah.

- I owe you.

[CHUCKLING] Yeah, big time.

[THUDDING NOISE]

[PHONE BEEPS]

[SIGHING] The, uh...

scars on your back.

You had 'em a while?

They're from my, uh...

coming-out party.

High school.

Yeah, mine felt the
same way about Arabs.

I never got it that bad, though.

It should be easier to come out, right?

[CLEARS THROAT]

I should, uh...

[CHUCKLING] I should
go get those coffees.

Violet's a real monster

if she doesn't start her
day off fully caffeinated.

[SIGHING]

You know I wish I could stay, right?

Okay, I'll, uh...

I'll see you later.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[DOWNTEMPO JAZZ PLAYING]

[XANDER] I am the top trending

boutique artisanal
coffee shop in this city.

Get your social media
curator to call me. Bye.

Five-sixty.

[JEN] Thanks for coming back with me.

I needed a second coffee
before that next exam.

[SAADIA] No problem.

Anyways, you should probably just plan

to go to the solstice with Connor.

Not if I want to have fun, I don't.

I'm not going without you.

[SCOFFS] Live a little.

Just a few hours. Or one.

One hour.

Is this about Cassidy?

[VOICE FADES] Because f*ck her.

[XANDER] Hey!

Hello?! Homeless?!

Get out of my store!

Go!

Now you're jumpy.

Look, I'm telling you,

no one believes a word that
comes out of Cassidy's mouth,

other than "Got a d*ck pic?"

It's not Cassidy.

I feel off balance partying tonight.

Today's just another day, Saad.

So, you're not thinking about Kit?

You can't let it win.

Just think about something
else, do something else.

I can't not think about it.

It happened in our apartment building,

our home.

We just saw Erica's dad's
head impaled on his car.

For the record, I am % sure

Erica's dad didn't get
struck down by the Druid.

How can you be so sure?

He worked with gangsters.

[JEN] They're who k*lled him. Hello!

You hang out with trouble,
and terrible things happen.

You watch too many movies.

[SIGHING] Guys...

if you want a latte,

order a latte.

Otherwise, you're basically stealing.

Seriously?

I'm so sorry. I didn't know...

- What are you doing?
- Just showing all of my followers

you mansplaining exactly how
much cream I'm allowed to use.

Do you want to pour it for me,

or are my tiny, female hands
not capable of doing a good job?

Okay, okay, cut, cut, cut.

No more fooling around. I
have customers. I'm leaving.

But for your information...

I was woke

before it was a thing.

Mm.

[CHUCKLES]

[SAADIA] You're insane.

Want me to send you the video?

Haters will jump all over this sh*t.

I still don't know where my phone is.

Did you lose it already?

No, no. I had it at school.

[SIGHING] Cassidy must've
took it when she, you know...

That bitch? Of course, she took it.

And I am so gonna help you get it back.

- Operation Hillbilly Ho is a go.
- [CHUCKLES]

And then you're gonna owe me,

and you're gonna have
to come to the party.

You're obsessed.

Okay, I'm obsessed with the party.

You're obsessed with the Druid and Kit.

Who do you think's gonna
have more fun tonight?

- What you got on Frank Dixon?
- Our decapitation?

One and only.

Well, they just delivered me his head,

and I've already done
the autopsy on his body.

Body temp and stomach contents

suggest he'd been deceased
roughly three hours,

and the cuts along his
neck are from an a*,

or a heavy sword, if
you want to get creative.

What was all the bruising?

A crushing effect from
when the blow hit the bone.

It wasn't a clean cut.

It shattered the spine
before it was severed in two.

So, not quick and easy.

This person was strong,

and the w*apon or tool

was definitely blunt.

There's a lot of bone fragments.

Looking less like the work of a pro.

He boosted cars for a living.

Oh.

I think that he jumped him from behind,

and the first blow
knocked him to the ground,

minor abrasions on the knees,

and then the final three blows
were done right in front of him,

because he wanted him to see his face.

Or watch him die.

Yeah, or that.

Then...

there's this.

Mounting a severed head
to the hood of your car

is a little whimsical.

Whimsical?

Okay, were you always like this?

It's certainly showy, but whimsical?

Did he drive around with it?

It was Dixon's car. His
keys were on the ground,

and I think he was att*cked
as he was heading to his car.

Maybe.

The k*ller wasn't driving
around with him on the hood,

despite how much you might
want that to have happened.

No. See the cuts here, inside his neck?

He probably picked him
up off the pavement,

and then slammed him
onto the hood of his car.

The ornament would've held him on.

- Like an announcement.
- Yeah.

Was he facing forward?

- Yeah. Why?
- I don't know.

Is that more or less whimsical for you?

Backwards would've been more whimsical.

[PHONE BUZZING]

[BUZZING CONTINUES]

- Go on. Go on.
- Hello?

- WOMAN: Hello.
- Who is this?

Hello! Thank you for
entering our sweepstakes.

- You have won a cruise!
- Oh!

[ANGEL] You're not accepted
by your own community,

so, you learn to accept
your invisibility.

Stop checking out your hair
and set up the camera, Lopez.

[KIT] I've never been
this bored on a bed before.

Ever.

[ANGEL] Do you think
that I'm overreacting?

I don't want to hook up with
a public service announcement.

Okay, but, like, put
yourself in their shoes.

What if you'd never
seen anyone like you?

There is no one like me.

[CHUCKLES]

You're such an assh*le.

Come on, this molly's kicking in,

and you promised me some trippy sex.

Mm-hmm.

I love you.

[SIGHING]

You know what else you love?

What?

I...

This.

[SIGHING]

Mm-hmm.

All the things that I do
to your cock with my tongue?

Shhh...

[ANGEL MOANING]

[GROANING]

Basic as f*ck!

"The way you use people's suffering

to make yourself look good makes..."

- [DOOR OPENING]
- Jesus!

That took a while.

- Ah. Did it?
- Mm-hmm.

I should get ready for work.

Babe? Okay, so this morning, I
found someone who sh*t a video

of the coroner picking up Frank's head.

- What?
- Right?

So savage. If I meet him,
he'll give it to me for $ .

- Wait, meet him?
- Mm-hmm.

You don't even know the guy and
he has videos of chopped-off heads.

You're not doing that.

Yeah, I am.

For my followers, for journalism.

- For the world, Joe.
- No, that's not safe.

- Why would you want that?
- I'm building my brand, baby.

Yeah, and it's not worth dying for.

This kind of thing
attracts creepy people.

But... Okay, but my followers,
they want the down-low,

and that is why I, I'm out
there on the streets, right?

I'm collecting facts for them.

The good, the bad, and the fugly.

[JOE SCOFFING]

- [JOE] What are you doing?
- What?

You're trying too hard,

- even the way you're talking.
- This is how I talk!

- This is totally how I talk.
- You could do better

without having to post
that kind of thing.

I know the video is rank to you,
but this is how it works, babe.

And listen, if I get my traffic up,

then I get sponsors, I get
followers. That means...

No, but it's amazing, 'cause
that means you get new kicks,

I get teeth whitener
for these pearly whites.

They're already in great shape, but...

I also get diet tea,
sh*t like that, babe.

It's gonna be so good.

This is how it works,
babe. Content is king.

You don't understand this life.

You know what? If that's how it
works, I don't want to understand.

And I'm not paying for
you to go meet mystery men

with videos of people
with chopped-off heads.

End of story.

It's time to face facts.

- Angel.
- No. Look,

you have to make a decision.
I'm done being strung along.

Not now.

This stopped being a sexual
experiment ten months ago.

[SIGHS]

- Hi, babe.
- k*ll it at work today, okay?

Yeah.

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

I swear I didn't know she was there.

Doesn't matter. You were gonna
say what you had to say, right?

- I don't have time for secrets.
- Yeah?

Well, ultimatums suck, too.

Look, I have done the whole
double-life, double-standard thing.

It hurts everyone.

Trust me, it doesn't end well.

Except I'm not your ex.

I'm nothing like him.

So, stop comparing me, okay?

Then prove you're different, Joe.

I deserve better.

So does she.

[SCHOOL BELL RINGING]

Psst.

Psst.

[SAADIA] Where's Cassidy?

This is Calculus.

You have minutes to write your exam.

- No cell phones, no watches...
- This is so messed up.

... no iPads, or any
electronic devices are allowed.

Hey.

Hey.

Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi.

Over here. Hey.

You want to try this sh*t on me?

Take your exam, write it in my office.

- You'll get this after class.
- Really? Mi... [SIGHING HEAVILY]

Go. Up.

Walk.

BOY: I'm walking, miss.

[ANGEL] I feel really
good about it. Anyways,

I will call you on
Tuesday. Bye, darling. Mwah.

Be well. Bye, guys. Thank you.

[BACKGROUND CHATTER]

Hey, Farhad,

wondering what happened to
you today? We missed you.

Listen, we made some great
strides with the Pride committee,

but we are gonna need your
help coming up with a document

that the organizers
want us to put together.

Anyhow, call me back.

MAN: Give me a smoke.

Oh, I'm sorry, I don't...

You know, they are hiring

temporary labor down at
the community center.

Yeah, I want a smoke, assh*le,
not some crappy-ass job.

- [ANGEL] Okay.
- MAN: Hey!

Look, I don't...

[VOICE ECHOES] I said I
wanted a f*cking smoke!

assh*le.

- Solstice party tonight! Woo!
- [LAUGHTER]

What's his name?

Anybody.

- Thank you.
- [INDISTINCT PA ANNOUNCEMENT]

- [ANGEL SIGHING]
- Hey.

Oh, hey, baby. Hi.

The hospital told me nothing,
just that I needed to come.

- Are... Are you okay?
- Ow. Yeah.

- What happened?
- Oh...

Oh, yeah, you got stitches.

Do they look bad?

No. It distracts from, uh...

from your big nose.

[LAUGHS] You're such a d*ck.

So, uh...

you asked the hospital to call my work.

Yeah.

Yeah...

you should talk to me about
this kind of stuff first.

About calling you?

Yeah, my boss wanted to
know who you were and

why I needed to leave.

So?

So, it was awkward. I
didn't know what to say.

It's complicated.

Joe, you're all I have. [SOBS]

Yeah, I... I understand that, okay?

And... I feel shitty and
torn and divided all the time,

because I'm with Violet and I love you.

I love you.

[SIGHING] Look, I'm sorry.

I'll tell Violet, I'll
tell whoever I have to tell.

Please...

please just let me do this my way.

[SIGHING]

[SIGHING] Do you need any cab fare?

I'm sorry. I can't stay.

I gotta... gotta get back to work.

I'll... check on you when I can.

[SCOFFS]

[KIT] Okay, I'm coming out.

I want you to be completely honest.

Do these make me look horny?

Aren't they great?

Did you talk to Brazil about
the stuff for the party tonight?

- The catuaba?
- Mm.

Yeah, I got some.

[KIT] Oh, really? Oh, my God,

I'm gonna love everything about tonight.

Can you imagine me... [INHALES SHARPLY]

... on an aphrodisiac?

God help everybody at that party.

[ANGEL] Thirty-five bucks.

Mm.

It cost bucks, so...

Yeah, okay. Don't got it on me
now, but you know I'm good for it.

- Good for a lay.
- Why, you want to buck?

You're bucking other people.

[CHUCKLING] We already
talked about this.

Do you have any idea what it does to me?

I don't need to know. No.

You don't need to know.

Look, you're handsome,

intense, and we got kicks,

but you're not the only one.

That's always been the deal.

With Cassidy?

Our f*cking neighbor?

So?

Next time, join in.

- I don't want you seeing other people.
- [SIGHING]

Look, I don't want to see you hurt.

I really don't.

But things either stay
the way they are, or...

we can try and... be friends.

Leave.

- Angel, come...
- Now.

Get the f*ck out now!

Get out!

Okay.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

- [SIREN WAILING]
- [CAR HORNS HONKING]

[PUJIT] You got Kit
Jennings back on the board?

[ROBERTA] Frank and Kit
lived in the same building.

[PUJIT] And the Druid?

Do you think the Druid might be
a cover-up for a pro hit on Frank?

[ROBERTA] Just taking
some ideas for a walk.

[PUJIT] Well, Kit was a drug user.

Maybe some sort of
crossover with Frank's crew.

[ROBERTA] Hmm. Frank was all about cars.

No sign of Kit buying enough
weight to get anyone's attention.

Any chance Frank k*lled Kit?

And this is some sort of reprisal?

Could be.

Frank was the only one to
say that he saw something.

Could also be the k*ller
trying to make sure that

Frank didn't start talking.

You know, but everyone was
acting hinky that night.

- What about the driver?
- Amy Chao.

Kit ran in front of her.

The coroner said he was
minutes from bleeding out.

The judge threw out
a manslaughter charge.

I think she wanted
to go to jail, though.

She was... hating herself so much.

- [VIDEO GAME SOUNDS]
- [PHONE CHIMING]

Something wrong?

No. Why would something be wrong?

Well, you don't call me, like, ever.

That's... not... true. [CHUCKLING]

Okay, maybe it's a...

it's a little true. It's just...

I prefer texting.

Which is cute and fast.

Well, I prefer Real Voice Xander.

who's less barky than Text Xander.

[SIGHING] Well, I text...

when I'm in a hurry.

You mind... [SIGHS]

... just giving that organic
guy a call? I don't know.

Speak your special voodoo
gamer code or whatever,

and see if his tight
ass can cut me a deal.

[AMY] Yeah.

I just got something he'll flip for.

Thank you.

Everything all right here?

[XANDER] I just don't know
how to get through to him.

He doesn't listen to reason.

Anyway, uh, I have a customer.

I gotta jet. Bye.

Bye.

[GROWLING]

Hi-yah!

[VIOLET] Hey, guys.

So, I'm about to be standing
outside of the apartment

of the Druid's latest victim,

alleged mobster Frank Dixon,

brutally m*rder*d one year to the day

devil-may-care Kit Jennings was
stabbed to death in this very hallway.

Now, the question on
everyone's mind is why?

What did Frank do to deserve

having his head bolted to
a car like a hood ornament?

I'm Vi, and I've got your
rundown of the top five reasons

why Frank was the Druid's
next logical victim.

- Reason one...
- [ANGEL] What's wrong with you?

He just d*ed.

Are you going, or what?

Is there not enough
drama and ugliness in life

that you have to create more?

Put yourself in the family's shoes

for one minute and show
some f*ckin' respect!

Respect? For Frank?

- Yes.
- Hmm...

Right. He jacked cars.

He was a hood and he ended up on
one. That sounds like karma to me.

If you do believe in karma,
you should probably watch out

because you're putting
a whole bunch of sh*t

out into the universe
with that blog of yours.

- Oh, you read my blog a lot, do you?
- No, I do not read your...

What the hell's going on out here? Huh?

I'm inside trying to plan
my husband's g*dd*mn funeral!

My daughter and I can hear
every word you're saying!

I'm so sorry.

And you! If I ever catch
you outside my door again,

you're gonna be the one that gets
what's coming to you. Understand me?

[YELLS] You understand me?!

Good.

[DOOR SLAMS]

Fine.

[VIOLET] I'll just come back later.

Un-f*cking-believable.

You! If I ever catch you
outside my door again,

you're gonna be the one that gets
what's coming to you. You understand?

You understand me?!

[DOOR CREAKING]

[FLUTE MUSIC PLAYING]

Just enjoy your lattes. [CHUCKLES]

Hey, homeless!

You gotta pay for that sandwich.

No, you owe me $ .

That's ethical cheddar and
bone marrow butter and...

Oh, really?

Those are heirloom tomatoes

from Prince Edward County.

Oh, maybe you'd like
to come and pick it up.

- [SIGHING]
- Or maybe...

you could just f*ck off!

Ha!

You know what?

Keep it. The sandwich was
garbage the second you touched it.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Ah, f*ck.

[SIGHING]

- [CLUB MUSIC PLAYING]
- [CROWD CHEERING]

Whoa!

You look good in that.

This mean we're all right?

We will be... eventually.

Good.

As friends.

- The best of friends.
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

What is it? Is that the catuaba?

Catuaba. Yes.

You're supposed to drink a whole
bunch of it to get the full effect,

but it looks like you might
be a bit too messed up already.

- Huh?
- You look a bit messed up.

- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.

Are you kidding me?

It's a boner buzz.

Kit...

[KIT] So now what?

Now we wait.

Is it bad to say?

That after the breakup,
I'm gonna miss you?

And your cock.

Yes.

[JEN] Ugh. Connor's leaving work
'cause he's worried about Amber.

And it turns out the reason
we haven't seen Cassidy

is 'cause she got banned from exams

for going full r*cist psycho on you.

I'm in so much sh*t.

- [SNORTS]
- [PHONE RINGING]

I don't want my ducts cleaned. Get lost.

Oh, hi.

Sorry about that.

[WHISPERING] It's your dad.

[WHISPERING] sh*t.

Hi, Dad.

No, everything's fine.

I've been in exams since : .

They don't let you bring your phone in.

It's a rule, Dad. You
can't bring your phone in.

Otherwise, they think
you're cheating or something.

Yeah.

Okay, yeah. Thanks.

Say hi to Mom.

Me, too.

Okay. Bye.

[SIGHING] Sorry.

You kidding me? You
guys are the sweetest.

Everybody loves everybody.
You're like an ethnic sitcom.

[SCOFFS] I've been left
alone for three hours,

and I've already been in a fight,

lost my phone, and lied to my parents.

- It's great.
- Hey, so it's not a sitcom.

You've gone full gangsta.

What now?

Well, I gotta find that phone.

Otherwise, my dad's gonna have
a heart att*ck and fly back home.

We have to find that thieving skank.

You know, it's too bad
neither of us have dicks,

because we would just snap our fingers,

and she would come running for us.

[SAADIA] Oh.

You know it's true.

- I didn't do anything!
- Really?

So, you didn't make a video of us

this morning without asking me?! Huh?!

[ANGEL] I...

Somebody broke into my apartment
and they must've taken my old phone.

f*ck you! I... I trusted you!

You should! Look, you can!

That video was for us!

I would never out you, Joe!

Especially not like this!

I'm not gonna be able
to go anywhere without...

without having to... without
having to explain to people...

about something so raw...

so personal!

[SNIFFLING]

I told you I needed more time. I just...

This isn't my fault!

Look, somebody broke into my place!

Do you think that I would
smash my own things?!

Nothing's ever your fault, right?

You're always going out picking fights,

talking loud,

outing me accidentally?!

You're always the f*cking victim.

So, yeah,

maybe you would stage a break-in.

[SNIFFLES]

to know that Joe liked men?

You know? So, like,

I confront him the minute
he walks through the door,

and he starts sobbing.

He's sobbing.

He's swearing up and
down that he loves me.

And you know what? His
words went right through me.

He did.

Like, if you f*cking love me,

how come you're f*cking a man, Joe?!

You know?

It's like his entire life with me
as his wife was one big f*cking lie.

And I can't do this with him,
and I can't do this for him,

not one more day.

[SIGHING] All right. Okay.

Oh...
