01x05 - The Janitor's Boy

Post by bunniefuu »

Why did you wanna hide this?

[KNOCKING]

- Who is it?

- [PORTER] Porter.

[JULIETTE] Two secs.

[BREATHES HEAVILY]

Thanks.

I'm guessing he had his skull crushed in

with the butt of his own shotgun.

It couldn't have been easy.

Marnes was made of

iron, anger and spite.

Who are you?

- This is Paul Billings. He's your

- [JULIETTE] Oh.

That's the guy you wanted to be sheriff.

He's your new Chief Deputy.

The old one's not even cold.

[SIGHS] Well, Marnes was right.

Someone really wanted him dead.

Do we have control of this?

- His door was open. A neighbor found him.

- Can we keep a lid on it?

- We could try.

- If we don't, we're f*cked.

[KNOCKING]

This could've all been avoided if

our new sheriff had posted someone

- to watch Marnes tonight.

- Your new sheriff offered, and he said no.

- So I heard. You should've ignored him.

- Oh, you heard, huh?

Yeah. I stopped by and saw

him and his bloody nose.

- Who gave him a bloody nose?

- One of his many fans.

It's the mortuary team.

All right [SIGHS]

let's go to my office.

My new office.

Can you tell them to give me a minute?

[PAUL] One minute.

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

[JULIETTE] Hey, uh, you can go in.

I'm only gonna be

mayor for a few months,

so I'm gonna try to drink as much

of Mayor Jahns's liquor as I can.

Hmm.

So [EXHALES]

[SIGHS] What do we do?

Just keeping pumping the official line.

Two older people walked the

Silo, it was too much for them.

- See your doctor

- No, we bury them together.

- Sorry, what?

- One funeral. One grave.

Conservation of resources.

[BERNARD] Times like this, people

don't give a sh*t about conservation.

But

- we could say they were in love.

- [SIMS] Were they?

[BERNARD] The way they nagged

at each other, I always wondered.

Mmm. Doesn't matter, though.

I don't know if there's anything

in the Pact about a double funeral.

- Paul?

- For a married couple, but, um

- The mayor can make an exception.

- Why would the mayor do that?

So it becomes the story, Rob.

A couple of old servants of the

Silo, enjoying a late bloom of love,

looking to spend their

golden years together,

only to have their lives

cut tragically short.

If they were in a relationship,

it was unsanctioned.

[STAMMERS] At their

age, who gives a f*ck?

And if people do care, it's even better.

Gets people talking

about forbidden love.

Anything but m*rder.

We need a distraction.

It's a good idea, Sheriff.

For a distraction, the judge suggested

we offer a Forgiveness Holiday.

- It's good for morale.

- It's good for Judicial.

Now, let's push the story

that they were in love.

Then I am going to

announce a Race to the Top.

Say Mayor Jahns loved a good footrace.

- Award the Jahns trophy to the victor.

- [SIGHS]

People love an excuse

to drink beer and yell.

Jahns hated those races.

She always thought they

would get out of hand.

Hmm.

I'll let you two go. Get some sleep.

Sheriff, would you stay a minute?

You know, you're the reason I

stopped by to see Marnes last night.

I said we should make Paul sheriff now.

Marnes said to wait.

Not because he thought you'd succeed.

He figured you'd realize

you were in over your head

and slink back down to

Greasetown on your own.

All right. All right, that's

enough. Give it a rest, Rob.

[SIGHS]

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

You don't like it.

I'm installing Billings as

Chief Deputy without your say-so.

Have you read the Pact?

- Yeah, some of it.

- Start with the section on your department.

It doesn't explicitly say that a

sheriff should kiss Judicial's ass,

but it's pretty much the

subtext on every page.

[FUNERAL BAND PLAYING]

- Um

- [MUSIC FADES]

This morning, I ran a program

to create a data set of Silo

residents under the age of 46.

A number I arrived at by

taking 40 and adding 6.

Forty being the amount of years

that Ruth Jahns served as mayor,

and six being the age of

basic societal awareness,

giving a total

of 5,496 Silo residents

out of the current population of 10,112,

for whom Ruth Jahns was the

only mayor they ever knew.

Mm-hmm.

Mayor Jahns was a

trusted and beloved leader

because she knew the

residents of the Silo,

and they knew her.

[CROWD MURMURING]

[BERNARD] Thankfully, I

am but an interim mayor

until someone can be elected

to fill Ruth Jahns's very large shoes.

Um, and not her literal

shoes because she

Actually, her feet were rather small.

- [CHUCKLES]

- [CROWD CHUCKLES]

Hmm.

Uh, Sheriff.

Would you like to say a few

words about Deputy Marnes?

Um

I honestly don't know

what to say about Marnes.

He and I didn't exactly, um, hit it off.

He, uh, he didn't want

me as, um, sheriff.

I think he shared that with

a lot of people, I guess.

I didn't want the job at first.

But then I was told that if

the mayor asks you to serve,

you-you serve.

And here I am, speaking

at Marnes's burial,

in front of people who

knew him better than I did.

Sad people.

I'm not I'm not sad.

I, um I mean, it's It's

sad that he d*ed, of course.

But his His life,

their lives, they, um

They're worth celebrating.

They dedicated their lives to the

Silo, like we all do every day.

Like everyone does, from

the Up Top to the Down Deep.

Hear us, oh, Founders.

Ruth Jahns and Samuel Marnes

served your Silo with their spirit,

and now will serve with their flesh.

Death into life.

Circle without end.

[FUNERAL BAND PLAYING]

[JULIETTE] Hank?

- Jules.

- [JULIETTE] Hey.

- Hey. [CHUCKLES]

- What are you doing here?

Oh, I, uh I got an

invite to the burial.

Really? I didn't see you there.

Yeah. Um, funerals

aren't really my thing.

Yeah, they're not really anyone's thing.

I'll pay my respects heading back down.

Walk said that, uh,

you found somebody to

help with the George stuff?

Yeah, we buried him today.

- Marnes?

- Mmm.

sh*t. [SIGHS]

Hey. Are, um Those

supposed to be for me?

- Oh, yeah.

- Yeah?

Look, you can't send a guy up 144

levels with a tin of hush puppies

- and not expect him to eat a couple.

- There's one left.

- I'm a big guy.

- Mmm.

[LAUGHS]

- How are you?

- Good. Yeah, I'm okay.

Walk sent you, didn't she?

Yeah, and Shirley. [SIGHS]

Yeah. 'Cause they're worried about me?

Jules, everybody's

worried about everything.

On the way up, I said

hey to my cousin on 72,

and he asked if, um, it's safe

for his kids to go to school.

- It's a dangerous time in the Silo and

- And you're wondering if I can do this.

No, that's not what I'm saying.

- It's what it sounds like.

- Hey, would you listen to me?

I know you can do anything

you put your mind to.

But I also know that none of

us can do any of this alone.

Now, look, I've never won

Deputy of the Year or nothing,

but if you need anything,

I'm just a tin of hush puppies away.

- [PEOPLE CHATTERING]

- [FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Deputy.

Sheriff.

- Hey, Hank.

- Yeah?

I don't like you.

- I got that.

- You're not qualified to be sheriff.

Can't disagree. Anything else?

Holston Becker was the best

sheriff this Silo's ever seen.

Marnes told me that something

happened between you two,

and that's why Holston

went out to clean.

Hmm. Well, Marnes was wrong.

You took this job to find

out who k*lled George Wilkins.

When Wilkins d*ed, the Down

Deep deputy sent a message.

Said an engineer named Nichols

claimed Wilkins was m*rder*d.

Now the first thing you

do when you get up here is

ask for Wilkins' file.

Here's the deal. Everything

in this office goes through me.

Yeah, you wanna get anything done,

whether it's find out who k*lled

Wilkins or get a new pencil,

you're gonna do what I want.

What's that?

Find out who k*lled Marnes.

Right. That's my job, so

I don't mean just going along with

whatever patsy Judicial serves up.

- I mean, find out who really did it.

- Why would Judicial serve up a patsy?

Because Judge Meadows doesn't

give a sh*t about the truth.

No, the only thing she cares

about is maintaining order.

And when a mayor and

a deputy get m*rder*d,

things could get disorderly fast.

No, they're gonna wanna find the

nearest warm body to pin it on.

Expect you to go along with it,

so you can keep the shiny

badge and the nice apartment.

But that would be a

mistake on your part,

because they also wanna

get you out and Billings in.

Isn't that what you want?

Honestly, I may want you to

find out who k*lled Marnes,

but Marnes, he wouldn't give a sh*t.

He just wouldn't want Judicial

sending some poor bastard

out to clean that doesn't deserve it.

I'll be back after lunch.

[SANDY STAMMERS] Where are you going?

I'm gonna try and figure

out who k*lled Marnes.

Well, you should take

Deputy Billings with you.

He knows the Pact, and you don't.

If you get this wrong,

even if you get who did it,

Judicial will throw it out.

Let's go.

Hey.

You Charles Martin?

- What if I am?

- [PAUL] You rob a string of apartments 15 years ago?

[SIGHS] I did my time.

We just wanna know where

you were last night.

- You asking if I k*lled Marnes?

- Didn't say anything about

Don't tell me he d*ed naturally.

If Marnes just had a heart

att*ck, then life really sucks.

But it wasn't me.

I've been down on 62, getting tests.

Okay.

[PAUL] Thank you.

Even if he wasn't in the hospital,

I'm sure he wouldn't have

been a match for Marnes.

You saw his hand? He's got the Syndrome.

Where next?

- What?

- Where Where do you live?

- A couple levels down.

- Okay. Why don't you go home for lunch?

I'm sure your wife and your

daughter would love to see you.

It's only 11:00.

I know. It's just

it's been a lot, and,

um, I need a moment.

I'm gonna grab a sandwich, read the

Pact. I hear great things about it.

I'll be back in the office by 1:00.

I stopped by and saw

him and his bloody nose.

Who gave him a bloody nose?

One of his many fans.

Patrick, we all knew she was headed

for the farm the minute she met you.

[BREATHES SHARPLY]

Patrick Kennedy, it's the

sheriff. Can you open up?

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

Who are you looking for?

[STAMMERS] Patrick Kennedy.

He's not here.

[DOUG] " serious violations,

both of which will be

initially investigated

by the Department of the Sheriff,

being reported to

Judicial within one hour."

Read the part about accountability.

[KNOCKS]

- Yes?

- [PAUL] It's Paul Billings.

Come in, Paul.

Paul, you know Doug Trumbull.

- Of course.

- Doug's a candidate to be my shadow.

We'll get to the rest of this later.

Doug Trumbull? Your shadow?

I only said he's a candidate.

He asked if he could be considered.

I didn't have the heart to say no.

Besides, it's always good to

have an excuse to read the Pact.

Our new sheriff okay

with you coming back

to Judicial your first day on the job?

- She thinks I went home for lunch.

- [CHUCKLES]

What can I do for you?

- Hey, Kennedy.

- Hey, what are you doing here?

Maintenance said this

is where I'd find you.

Mmm. I was sad to hear

about Deputy Marnes.

I'm kidding. I was f*cking giddy.

Yesterday you said there were

two reasons why we were stupid

for wanting to talk to your wife.

First was, she's dead.

Uh, what's the second one?

You know what, I'm a little

confused. Are you arresting me?

- [JULIETTE] Nope.

- Then what are you doing?

I'm putting you somewhere safe.

- Hey, Sandy.

- [SANDY] Hi.

[SIGHS]

[DOOR OPENS]

- How's it going?

- Slowly.

As much as I revere that

thing, if I can't sleep,

- I read a couple pages and I'm out.

- Mmm.

- How was lunch?

- Can I sit?

I didn't go home. I went to Judicial.

Oh, wow. Reporting to Sims already?

I didn't know I'd

f*cked up that badly yet.

I know it's gonna take

a lot to earn your trust,

and this might not be

the best first step.

But I wanted to see how

their investigation was going.

Judicial has its own investigation?

They get level rep reports first.

And they get reports from people

who don't officially exist.

Right, listeners.

Not what we call them, but yeah.

- What do you call them?

- Friends of the Silo.

- Hmm.

- None of what they say is admissible in court.

But

They can provide suggestions. [SIGHS]

- Wow, you look in pain just saying that.

- It's not in the Pact, so I don't like it.

Hmm. Who are the friends suggesting?

Ralf Melby.

He works down in Paper, first shift.

He could've made it to the

Mids to poison their water,

he could've made it up

last night to get Marnes.

"Gambler, thief, two minor

assaults." Why Why now?

Have to ask him.

[JULIETTE] Hey, Sandy, can

you get me an arrest warrant?

- [SANDY] For who?

- Patrick Kennedy.

- What? No. Ralf Melby.

- Kennedy first.

And then can you call me on

the radio once you have it?

- Where are you going?

- You got messages. Um. Hey.

Hey.

Nichols, can you just stop?

- Hey.

- I don't have time for messages

I don't have any f*cking

messages. I just

I need to know what's going on.

Billings went to his friends in Judicial

and came back with a name. Ralf Melby.

They want me to waste

my time arresting Melby

while they get their patsy.

- Patrick Kennedy.

- Yeah.

That's gonna make me look incompetent,

they'll send me back to Mechanical,

and Billings gets the badge.

You sure they're setting up Kennedy?

I know a search is

gonna turn up rat poison

and a drawing from Marnes's wall.

How do you know that?

If he's their patsy, you

requesting an arrest warrant

means Judicial's gonna send

a goon to get him right away.

That's why I'm going.

[ANNOUNCER] Seven, six,

five, four, three, two, one.

[HORN BLARES]

[PEOPLE CHEERING]

[ANNOUNCER] All the best to competitors.

Judicial. Open up.

Looking for Patrick Kennedy?

Yeah, it took a while for Housing

to find out his wife d*ed last year.

They moved him to a

single, like, six months ago

and moved an older couple in here.

Maybe that's why Judicial's database

still has this down as his place.

I don't know.

I only know this 'cause Marnes

and I came here yesterday.

I guess everyone makes mistakes, right?

Yours was planting evidence

in the wrong apartment.

[CHEERING CONTINUES]

[METAL CLINKS]

[PERSON] Hey!

[PANTING]

[PERSON] Watch it!

[CHEERING]

Go! Get out

[CROWD CHEERING]

- [RUNNER 1] What are you doing? assh*le.

- [RUNNER 2] Hey! What the f*ck?

[GRUNTING]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[GASPS, WHIMPERS]

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTING]

[PANTING]

[CHILD] Mommy, look.

[STRAINING]

[BOTH SCREAM]

[BREATHES HEAVILY]

- [SPECTATOR 1] There's someone up there.

- [CROWD] Watch out!

[SPECTATOR 2] Somebody help her!

[GROANS]

- [CROWD SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]

- [SPECTATOR 2] Hey, somebody help her!

[JULIETTE PANTING]

[STRAINING, GROANING]

[GRUNTING]

[PANTING] Go.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[PAUL] I think I know who

it was you were chasing.

Doug Trumbull, Judicial Security.

I'll get an arrest warrant.

I wish you waited for

me to come with you.

Well, I was just gonna check

out Kennedy's apartment.

I didn't think someone was gonna

try and throw me over the rail.

Hey, what apartment number

did you have for Kennedy?

2215, why?

I think maybe Kennedy didn't

have anything to do with this.

Douglas. What are you doing here?

- I followed you once.

- Ah, that shows initiative.

Skill.

And a very troubling insubordination.

[SWALLOWS] I'm sorry.

Do you have any idea

what's behind this door?

- No, sir.

- [SIMS] Good.

If I choose you to

shadow me, you will know.

What happened to your hand?

[SIGHS]

- [SIMS] You have the note?

- [DOUG] Yeah.

Good. I think there's still

a way to make this work.

- How?

- Let me figure that out.

This is my favorite time.

So quiet, so still.

Now, Douglas, that door I came out of,

first time I saw it, my

father showed it to me.

He was a janitor.

People looked down

on him. On our family.

We all know the philosophy of the Pact.

Everyone contributes to

the survival of the Silo.

But a janitor's still a janitor.

And I was just a janitor's boy.

My mother treated my

father like he was nothing,

and he said nothing in return.

When I was 14, I got into a

conflict with one of my classmates.

Richard Elliot. Ah, he tormented me.

My father found out, and I was

terrified he was gonna try to do

something about it

and only make it worse.

But he didn't.

Part of me was disappointed.

Then one day, I get to school

and Richard Elliot's crying.

Seems his father's been reassigned

to a job on 125, and they have to move.

Just like that, my problem went away.

I was wondering if

if maybe my dad had

something to do with it.

But he was just a janitor. Right?

Then, one morning, he says to me,

"Any more problems with that bully?"

I just looked at him. It was

something in the way he said it.

I just looked at him and asked, "How?"

He said he wanted to show me

something. He took me to that door.

He said if I wanted to shadow him,

I would have to make a decision

that would change my life forever.

If I went through that door,

I could never tell anyone

what was on the other side.

Not my friends, not

my family, not my wife.

They might think that I was nothing

more than a bookkeeper, or a clerk,

or a janitor.

But I would know the truth.

That the people behind that door

do the most important work of the Silo.

Work that keeps 10,000 people alive.

You f*cked up, Doug.

Twice. Very badly.

- You f*cked up with George Wilkins

- You know what happened?

and you f*cked up

with Patrick Kennedy.

But I've f*cked up worse. Many times.

We're human beings

doing the best we can.

What I'm looking for in a

shadow is drive and dedication.

I've made my decision.

Douglas Trumbull, do you, of clear mind

and conscience, pledge to be my shadow?

Yes.

Are you willing to do

anything to serve and protect

the people of the Silo?

Yes.

Are you willing to

give everything you have

to serve and protect

the people of the Silo?

Yes.

Good.

No! [SCREAMS]

[BODY THUDS]

[JULIETTE] Douglas Trumbull k*lled

Mayor Jahns and Deputy Marnes,

and he wanted to frame Patrick

Kennedy for the murders.

His intent wasn't only

to, uh, frame Kennedy,

but to k*ll him and make

it look like su1c1de.

So when I confronted Trumbull

about planting evidence in an apartment

no longer occupied by Kennedy, he ran.

Last night, knowing his

arrest was inevitable,

Trumbull took his own life.

There's a There's a note in there

that we, uh, found in his pocket.

We think he was gonna

plant it on Kennedy.

Strangely, it kinda works for him too.

- We, um, we don't know

- [MEADOWS] Why.

You don't know why a

seven-year employee of Judicial

would want to m*rder

the mayor and Marnes.

Well, no, but we

I didn't work closely with

Trumbull, but I saw no sign of it.

Mr. Sims, did you see any indication?

I mean, Marnes was

deputy in the Mids back

in the day when Trumbull was growing up.

Maybe Maybe they had some

rough encounters back then.

I don't know. We're gonna look into it.

Don't spend any more time on him.

We have the k*ller of Mayor

Jahns and Deputy Marnes, and

[SIGHS] he's dead.

This should quell the rumors

and conspiracy theories.

Indeed.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

I'll take the rat poison to the

farms, you take the rest to the office?

Yep.

You already knew that the

drawing and the rat poison

were in the apartment before we looked.

- Mm-hmm.

- When did you go in?

When you were talking

to your Judicial friends.

- How'd you get in?

- I learned some things in Mechanical.

You clearly didn't read

the section of the Pact

- about illegal search and seizure.

- No, I did.

Why didn't you tell

me what you were doing?

- 'Cause I didn't trust you.

- Do you now?

Yeah. Sure. As much as you trust me.

So you don't worry what happened to

me tomorrow, I've been reassigned.

- What?

- To the station on 105.

Why?

I requested it.

'Cause of me?

No, I've got family down there.

Wait, so when When you

said if I wanted your help,

I had to find out who k*lled Marnes.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I didn't think you'd

be able to do that, really. [SIGHS]

Any chance you'd change your mind?

[SCOFFS] No, I've had

enough of the Up Top.

You know, there are a few things

I'll miss, but [INHALES DEEPLY]

I won't miss the

feeling I'm being watched.

By who?

I don't know by who.

Or how.

Hey.

You know, when I got here, you said

you didn't know what Down Deepers ate.

- You got family on 105?

- That's lower Mids, not Down Deep.

- Right.

- Our kind don't eat babies.

Mm-hmm.

You did a good thing.

I mean, Patrick Kennedy's

an awful human being but

he didn't deserve to die.

- Not for something he didn't do.

- I'm just happy that I didn't

Don't make a big deal out of

it. I still don't like you.

Sheriff.

[JULIETTE SIGHS]

[BERNARD] Can I pour you a drink?

I'm going through Mayor

Jahns's collection pretty fast.

- No, I'm good. Thanks.

- You sure?

- Yeah.

- Have a seat.

Now, as much as I hate to

give Sims the satisfaction,

I think he may have been right.

The Race to the Top was a good tonic,

but what we really need

is a Forgiveness Holiday.

People go a little

wild when we have one,

so I'm gonna need you and

your deputies everywhere.

Okay.

That's not the only

thing I wanted to discuss.

I wanted to say that

I was wrong about you.

I didn't see why Holston

would want you to be sheriff,

but now I think I do.

So, for as long as I'm mayor,

which I sincerely hope won't

be for more than a few months,

I wanna help you in any way I can.

Is there anything you need now?

- Two days off.

- You've been sheriff for a minute?

I need to get back down to Mechanical.

I didn't think I'd last so,

I didn't pack much, so

We have porters that can do that.

I'd like to say goodbyes

and stuff, you know? [SIGHS]

All right.

We'll see you in a couple days.

Thanks.

Hey.

Hey.

What are you working on?

You wanna come see?

So, when it's clear at night,

there are these lights in the sky.

Hmm.

- What are they?

- I have no idea.

But I've been watching them long

enough to see these patterns.

They repeat, like they're, uh,

like they're traveling

in this big circle.

Here.

[CHUCKLES] Here.

You see it?

- [JULIETTE] I see a "W".

- [LUKAS CHUCKLES]

- Never noticed that before.

- Yeah, well, now you have.

I'll just add it to the list of

things we don't know anything about.

[JULIETTE] Did you know there

are lights in the sky at night?

[MARTHA] How do you mean?

Well, the display in the Up Top

cafeteria is better than ours.

- What a surprise.

- There are lights in the night sky.

Yeah, what are they?

I thought maybe you'd know.

You know, Hank ate all but one

of the hush puppies you sent.

Hmm? I kinda thought he'd eat 'em all.

He's a big guy.

How old is this?

What day is it?

So, how's it going in that

fancy new job of yours up there?

- Fine.

- Fine? Really?

- Mm-hmm.

- You know, Tommy Marshall

was working on a ventilation

fan at the foot of the stairs.

This missed his head by an inch.

People saw you hanging from the rails.

Jules, you don't think that

kind of story gets around?

What the f*ck is going on?

- I can't tell you.

- You can't tell me

No, I can't.

g*dd*mn it. This isn't

supposed to be the deal.

We're supposed to go about our

business, keeping the Silo humming,

and they're not supposed to

do things like m*rder people.

Bodies start falling, people

start asking questions.

Pretty soon, asking questions

turns into demanding answers,

- and if folks don't like the answers

- Hey, hey, hey.

You're talking about rebellion?

I'm right here. I'm sheriff.

Ridiculous.

Anyway, did you find that hard

drive you were looking for?

No, not yet. Holston

hid a file on George,

but there was nothing in it

that I didn't already know.

[MARTHA SIGHS]

Did you make headway

with the thing I left you?

[MARTHA] Yes, I did.

So, I recognized the type of lens

from those cameras they use

to make pictures for ID's.

But those are very simple.

This This is not simple.

Take a look.

This help you?

[JULIETTE] No. You got

anything more powerful?

Like the thing your mother

made? Lining up two lenses?

Yeah, like we used on the rabbit.

Yeah, and Judicial destroyed it. Do

you know why Judicial destroyed it?

- No.

- Have you read the Pact?

No, and you're, like, the

tenth person to ask me that.

Well, this is the real reason

why I wanted you to come down.

For me, there are two big

mysteries about the Pact.

One.

They stipulate that we can't mechanize

the way we go up and down in the Silo.

- Mm-hmm. Yeah.

- No lifts, no pulleys.

Two. No magnification

beyond a certain power.

So, a relic like this is gonna get

you more than a slap on the wrist.

Something with wiring this small,

the effect is gonna

be a lot more dramatic.

And from what you're not telling me,

seems to me there's

a long list of people

who've d*ed recently under

questionable circumstances.

What's to stop you being

the next one on the list?

- I'll be careful.

- Put the badge in an envelope,

- give it to a porter.

- I need to find out what happened.

Two days ago, Bernard wanted nothing

more than to send me out to clean

for snagging two boxes

of shitty heat tape.

I solve two murders,

and he can't wait to work

with me. They trust me, Walk.

I need to open up an investigation

that allows me to look into

what happened to George.

And how are you gonna do

that without tipping them off?

I gotta use the right bait.
