08x22 - Noir (Part 2)

[bunniefuu]

Previously on silk stalkings:

I love you.

Freeze!

Freeze!

Anybody see a g*n?

What have you done?

It's a reasonable assumption...

Man: An assumption?

That he had a g*n.

You did identify yourself
as a police officer?

He was f*ring at me.

If only there were b*ll*ts to prove that.

They're not listening to him.

I just keep seeing his face.

It's just administrative leave.

It's routine, come on, you know that.

You investigate a crime
that isn't assigned to you

and you interfere in an I.A. Investigation

you're terminated.

I'll take you to the casino.

Where you take most people?

Man: The guy was just a salesman

in a hurry, captain.

Ryan was seeing things.

Why?

You k*lled a man

and he was defenseless

and you k*lled both of us.

Hey, tough guy

that badge of yours still no good?

For the time being.

We'll take you to your room now, come on.

Lipschitz: All I'm saying

is that if you have a body of evidence

against Ryan, show it.

This is such bull, lipschitz.

Captain, burmeister

and the guy shoveling the bull

should know how it smells.

We have presented

an overwhelming case against him.

Circumstantial... it's all circumstantial.

By his own admission, Ryan can't recall

if he identified himself
as a police officer.

He can't recall... doesn't mean he didn't.

You're covering his ass.

I'm asking for proof.

You're doing something

that if any of us tried

you'd kick our butts off the force.

There's a difference between
being a door and a dam, captain.

Oh, damn it, Welsh, don't tell me

how to do my job, all right?!

Either come up with
some mitigating evidence

or sign off... by tomorrow.

What time do you think
you'll be back, captain?

Get it out of your head, St. John.

What?

The thought you'll investigate this

on your own.

Look, i'm, I'm just doing paperwork here.

I will press charges,
and I'll make them stick.

Do not, I repeat

do not swim in these waters.

Are you always this cranky with no sleep?

This is not a joke here, St. John!

Are we clear on that?

Yeah, we are.

Man: Hit, hit, hit.

Man : Stay, stay.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

All right, let's roll.

Man: Let it roll!

Man: There you go!

Pay the lady.

Pay the lady.

Others: Oh, oh!

Man: Mr. Cahill

how's it going?

I lost.

Tina, a drink for Mr. Cahill.

Vodka? Bourbon?

He'll take a vodka with a spin of vermouth.

Fritz...

Sweetie... it's late.

Actually, it's early.

Time for a new crowd, new rake, new luck

don't you think?

Let's go upstairs.

I'm tired.

Come on, fritzy, where's the fight?

I'll tell you what:

I'll spot you the first , at half rate

the second ten at zero.

It'll be like playing
with my money for free.

Really, Bernie?

Well, sure.

Just go upstairs

take a shower, shave...

When you come back down, Sydney will have

everything ready for you.

Thanks, Bernie.

Thanks a lot, Bernie.

Thanks, Bernie, thanks.

Oh, there's just one thing.

If you get too hot on my table

I'm throwing your ass out of here.

I won't.

I won't get too hot, Bernie, promise.

I don't see why you can't stay longer.

I want you to see me win.

Well, I'll be back, Fritz.

Well, what's more important

on the mainland than I am, Ginny?

Well, nothing, baby.

It's just business.

You're suspended, St. John.

Won't stop me.

No, I suppose it won't.

Oh, god, I'm tired.

What'd you find?

If Tom said he saw a g*n, he saw a g*n.

Now, it's got to be in the alleyway.

Unless somebody took it.

Give me the folder.

Come on, cassy. If somebody's going

to lose a badge over this

it's got to be me

and not you.

No, Harry, he's my partner.

And I'm his boss.

All right.

Go home.

You're still suspended.

Come on.

And when I call you later

to report what I've found

make sure you're home.

Woman: Oh.

Oh, god, that feels so good.

I haven't been with a
man like you in so long.

The last guy I dated was a cop.

I mean

he had fun and all, but...

He just didn't know how
to reach me like you do.

Did you, Tom?

Woman: Tom, darling

you all right?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Do you have to go?

It's just for a day or two.

I want to go with you.

No.

No.

Why?

It's business.

Sleep it off in your room, pal.

Tom: Freeze!

Tom?

Tom?

Lipschitz: Thanks for coming in

so early, morty.

It's not a problem.

But, uh, if you don't mind my asking

when's the last time you got some sleep?

It's been a while.

They're a dead match, Harry.

And there's absolutely no way

this could be two different people?

No, no.

You got a better chance of having

a twin brother in poughkeepsie

than these prints not
being from the same person.

So whose are they?

You know, technically,
I'm a contract player

so I, I guess I can say this

and you can't really fire me, Harry.

What?

You're an idiot for doing this, Harry.

Welsh is going to put your head on a stick

and parade you

through palm beach if he finds out.

Thanks for your help, morty.

And as much as I regret

just having called you an "idiot"

I suppose I'm going to
regret this more, but...

If you need any help, Harry, I'm here.

Freud probably considered obsession

something to do with your mother.

I always figured it had to do

with finding a hunger inside yourself

that hadn't been fed in so long

it ravaged everything in its path.

I guess my hunger to be loved by someone

as much as I loved them

was... starving.

Hello, my friend.

Tie it over there.

So, uh, were the cards kind to you?

I would have done better

if the game was called and not .

Yeah, I know what you mean.

I, too, am very good at .

Amigo...

Maybe cards is not the only game you play.

What are you talking about?

You a private investigator?

No.

Why?

This is yours, no?

Yes, it is.

You still have the picture of that guy?

Yeah.

Can I see it again?

Yeah, I remember now.

He pay you to follow her?

Relax, amigo, relax.

I thought you said you
hadn't seen him before.

I didn't remember him till I saw her.

And you've seen them together?

Yes, yes.

Many times.

He's always on the boat with her.

The only thing a cop hates
more than being sh*t at

is being duped.

Virginia did know Archer

so what happened on the rooftop

was no coincidence.

Get out of here, Ryan!

You knew about Archer, didn't you?

And you knew about the g*n.

Now why?!

Get out of here, Ryan!

There's going to be a fax coming through...

A background check, Virginia

to tell me all your little secrets.

But it's not going to tell me why you lied.

How did you know Archer?

He was my husband.

When someone hits you with their fists

you can shake it off.

When they hit you with words

it's as if the punch was thrown

by the devil.

He owed a lot of money to mundson.

We both did.

We sold everything we
had, and it wasn't enough.

Then Bernie said he
was going to have us k*lled

so we ran.

But then Sydney caught up with us.

Then Sydney made me watch

as he b*at the crap out of miles.

And then he dragged us back here.

Tom, it was all Bernie's idea.

What was?

Miles and I had an insurance policy.

There was enough there to pay off

both mine and miles' debt.

And then, Bernie said that

if I helped him arrange

what looked to be an accidental sh**ting

that he would cancel my debt

and that there might be some left over

and we'd split it.

Geez, Virginia.

You agreed to have your husband k*lled?

Don't judge me, Ryan.

You have no idea what that was like.

Your wife gets drunk, you forgive her.

Your wife has an affair because
she's bored, you forgive her.

But what are you supposed to do

when you find out she set you up to be

m*rder*d?

Why me?

Bernie said that we'd need
a Mark that was reliable.

He said that we would even
sue the department afterwards

for a wrongful sh**ting.

God, everything, everything
has been a lie, hasn't it?

No.

Oh. No.

Let me guess.

The part about you falling in love with me.

Tom, I wanted to be anybody but me.

I had lied so long

I thought I was telling the truth.

And then I met you.

And you just

your world was so...

True and pure and simple.

I forgot who I was.

Was that so bad?

Bad? You know what was bad?

What was bad is that I thought,
I thought all this was real.

I believed in you, in us.

I gave it everything that I had.

And you've gone and
taken it and my life away.

I'm sorry.

I can still help.

How?

Miles' insurance policy
is still in Bernie's safe.

If you get the policy, it'll
still convict you, Virginia.

I know. I don't care.

You're going to need it

if you want to clear your name.

All I need is a sworn statement.

Bernie's lawyers twist it, make it seem

like you k*lled my husband to get to me.

I can get a warrant...

And if Bernie burns the
policy before it's served...

I have the combination

but it's a double lock

so we'd need the key.

Tom.

I've always wondered why a fish will strike

the same lure more than once.

The first time it tastes
it, it knows it's fake

but it goes after it again and again.

I guess it's a conquest
of hope over experience.

Here she was offering to help me...

The woman who has betrayed me...

And I knew I was going to bite again.

Ginger ale, please.

Mr. Mundson thinks you've
overstayed your welcome.

I'll get a new place.

What are you, thick?

Sydney, go clean your toenails

because I'm not in the mood.

I'd like another ginger ale, please.

People like Sydney make a mistake.

To fight well, you have
to be in control, not out.

Okay, Sydney.

I'm leaving.

Good.

By the way...

Is this yours?

Is what mine?

Wakey, wakey, Sydney.

Now you tell Mr. Mundson

that I like it here at the hotel

and I want to stay here at the hotel!

And if you bother me again

I'm going to make you eat your next meal

through an I.V. Tube, you understand me?

Uh-huh.

Is there a problem here, Mr. Ryan?

No.

No.

Sydney was just telling me

you don't want me to stay.

I think you'd be

more comfortable elsewhere.

No, I like it here.

The choice is yours.

Hope it's the right one.

Hey, Harry.

Cassy.

I wasn't expecting anyone.

I'm sure you weren't.

I thought I told you to stay out of this.

Um, you did...

And I didn't.

Did you find anything?

I think I know where Tom is.

Look, he's, uh...

He's been using one of his credit cards.

Now, my bet is he's in key nuevo.

Key nuevo's a private island.

What the hell

is he doing there?

Don't know, but he maxed out a card.

, in a cash draw at
one of the island casinos.

I need to go to key nuevo.

Forget about it.

I.a. Is going to drop you

along with Tom for abetting.

No, I know Tom.

He's not hiding, he's investigating.

Now, we have to find something

to throw in front of the I.A.

To slow them down.

Okay?

Call me when you get there.

Okay.

All right.

Hey...

I'll call, all right?

I promise.

It's burmeister.

She's moving.

Welsh: So, you think

he's in key nuevo?

We're doing our own credit check.

That's his credit card number.

Is he in key nuevo, Harry?

Is who?

Get him.

Yeah.

This is a hell of a way
to end a career, captain.

Well, it's been a hell
of a career up until now.

Tom.

Tom.

Oh, gosh.

Tom...

Wake up.

What'd you do?

Did you pass out?

Hmm?

Come on.

Yeah.

Oh, gosh.

Yeah, yeah.

You okay?

With the help of a... Blackjack.

What are you doing here?

Well, I'm trying to figure
out what you're doing.

I'm on vacation.

Really?

Well, you look relaxed

and you're a gorgeous shade of gray.

Here.

Oh, yeah.

Okay.

You shouldn't be here.

I.a. Is getting a serious case
of let's-get-Tom-Ryan blues.

How'd you find me?

Credit card trail

and if I figure it out, so
will Ballard and burmeister.

Come on, let's go.

I knew that cassy was risking everything

to come and warn me about I.A.

I should have gone with her.

Virginia knew Archer.

She was married to him.

It was an insurance scam.

She was in on it with mundson.

What, she arranged to
have her husband k*lled

for his insurance?

It's not that cut and dry, cassy.

There are some extenuating circumstances.

No, uh, murders of passion

they have extenuating circumstances.

Premeditated ones don't.

Why do you have to be so damn judgmental?

Tom, it doesn't take Solomon

to figure out how this baby's divided, pal.

Now, where's your bag?

Di-did you have any...

Oh, I'm no... I'm not leaving here.

Do you understand?

I'm not leaving.

What part of I.A.
Arriving to arrest your ass

did you not understand?

Virginia's trying to clear my name.

Oh, Tom, come on.

Please don't tell me

that you're still buying into this woman.

No, I think that she was
forced into this by mundson.

This woman is a rattlesnake without a tail.

Now how many times

does she have to bite you before you die?

What is it with you?!

Does everything have

to be black and white?

I mean, god forbid

that there's ever a trace of gray!

Oh, me? Me?

You know, why don't you take a look

at yourself, Tom, because
you are the dumb fish

with the hook in its mouth.

Why, because I believe in her?

Because I'm willing to give her

a second chance?

That makes me dumb?

Do you always have to believe you're right

huh, or are you too vain

to ever admit that you are wrong?

No, I'll admit that I made a mistake

when I married you!

What?

Let's be honest.

I don't think I ever really loved you.

What?

What did you just say to me?

I don't think I ever really loved you.

Tell me, just tell me,
tell me that you're lying.

What, did I.A.

Send you here, to find me, huh?

Are you supposed to get me to confess?

Is that it? Are you wearing a wire?

No, don't touch me!

Don't touch me!

Don't touch me!

Oh, my god.

I'm...

I'm going to be sick.

Cassy.

How can you say that?

Cassy.

I'm sorry. Listen.

Please, listen.

No, no, no, no, no, no!

Cassy...

Just run.

Just... just run
before-before they catch you.

You're just in time.

Zip me?

Where have you been?

I was, uh...

Knocked out.

My room was searched.

Are you all right?

Fine.

Thank you.

Who did it?

Like a lot of things in the past few days

it's a mystery.

I'd put my money on Sydney.

I heard about what
you did to him at the bar.

Yeah, well, maybe he wants to get rid of me

so that he can have you

to himself.

Then you didn't see him, did you?

You... don't know it was Sydney.

I did... remember something.

It was Jasmine.

Before I was hit

I could smell Jasmine.

Oh, so that's it?

You think it was me?

Pretty distinct smell, Jasmine.

Yeah, it is.

Tell me something, Tom.

Was your window open?

Yeah.

Jasmine grows wild

all over the island.

Does it?

Yeah, it does.

Key to Bernie's safe.

How did you get this?

What do you care?

Get out of my life

will you?

Is that what you want me to do?

Here I was with the woman

who I thought meant more
to me than anything else.

So why was I thinking
about what I'd said to cassy?

Tom?

Right here.

What time is it?

It's around midnight.

Why are you up?

I'm just thinking.

Yeah?

About me?

In a way, yeah.

Good.

I like it when you think about me.

Virginia

I've got to go back to palm beach.

What? I said...

They'll arrest you.

I said some things to cassy.

I... I need to clarify them.

Call her.

No, I have to do this in person.

She'll never understand us, Tom.

It's about her and me.

It's not about us.

Oh...

Tom!

We got to get out of here.

No. No, no.

No, I'm not going to run.

You're not thinking very clearly.

Your only choice is to run.

If we don't go now

we're not going to get the chance.

Tom...

Okay.

Okay, what do you want me to do?

Freeze!

Well. That's it. , .

Nice take.

Lock it up.

I still have a lot left for you.

Take a shower and play with the soap.

I think Sydney's sweet on you, Ginny.

Sydney's sweet on anything that

doesn't move or bite.

I do both.

That you do.

That you do.

If you're here to visit
your money, it's gone.

Speaking of which, the cop still around?

Uh-uh.

No, he caught me with Sydney

so I think he went back to palm beach.

What a shame.

I was looking forward to watching Sydney

cr*ck him open.

When are we going to be even, Bernie?

As soon as those two cops from palm beach

find your lover boy.

Then I'm free?

Oh, Virginia...

Everything I've done for
you is way too expensive

for you to ever be free.

Bernard mundson?

I am.

Detectives Ballard and
burmeister, palm beach P.D.

We're looking for a
guest of yours, Tom Ryan?

Hm, former guest.

Mr. Ryan left the
island a little while ago.

He's wanted for m*rder, mundson.

Ask me if I give a rat's ass.

If you want to look around, fine.

Don't break anything.

Man: One more, one more,

one more.

Did I give you my safe key?

Tom?

Close the door.

Lock it, lock it!

Did you get it open?

Yeah.

The policy.

Oh, we've done it!

I want you to go back to palm beach.

I want you to find cassy St. John.

Give this to her.

I'm not going without you.

Go, now. Go.

Give it up, give it up!

Drop it.

Drop it!

What a surprise.

Virginia lied to me.

Mind if I make a call?

Better be to your lawyer.

Actually, I was going
to call the front desk

to have them page a
couple of friends of yours

from palm beach.

They're going to love hearing

about your scam that you been running

with Archer's insurance.

Scam?

Yeah, you chased him into the store.

You were the one who had
the g*n pointed at his back

making him run.

Oh, I didn't need a g*n.

I had Virginia.

Bright girl

not too trustworthy though

as you might have found out.

Stick it, mundson.

I know all about Virginia.

Really?

You knew she used to work
for an insurance company?

That she found certain
long-term whole life customers

that she'd, uh, get to gambling,

get them in debt.

Then she'd convince them
to cash out their policies

in order to pay.

You're telling me you knew all that

and you still liked her?

That's bull.

No, no.

You see, if they cooperated,
we'd split the profits

and the guy usually went on his way.

But if they didn't

Virginia would arrange for an accident.

Sometimes it was a car
wreck, sometimes it was a fall...

Sometimes it was a sh**ting.

Virginia always picked the marks.

She was very good at finding, uh...

Vulnerable males.

You almost k*lled me back there.

I saw Bernie.

I had to stop him.

No, no.

No, you didn't intend to k*ll Bernie.

You thought it was me.

You thought that I'd be

the first one out that door.

You knew that Bernie could tell me things

that you couldn't afford for me to know.

Stop the car.

You k*ll me and we both die.

Stop the car, Tom!

Would you, Virginia?

Would you really sh**t me?

Did you hear it all?

Most of it.

I guess I should be calling I.A.

I already did.

Ballard and burmeister
will be here in a minute.

I want you to, uh, take this to Morton.

I think

it's the g*n that...

That Archer used.

You want a doctor?

No, in a... in a bit.

Cassy, we got to talk.

Enough's already been said.

No, no, it hasn't.

Maybe after your arm is healed.

Cassy, please.

I said something I didn't
mean back on the island.

You owe me nothing, Tom.

I don't know why I said it
because I didn't mean it.

I always believe people tell more truths

when they're drunk or joking

than when they're sober.

You were making me face something

that I didn't want to face

and I... I lashed out.

That's... that's all.

If you said that I was
stupid or I was shallow

or I was selfish, I could
see that as lashing out.

That's not what you said, was it?

No. No, it wasn't.

You said you never loved me.

I didn't mean it.

Didn't you?

As god is my witness, I didn't mean it.

So where do we go from here?

I don't know.
