IMOGENE: Previously on

Death and Other Details

[SCREAMING]

As you all know a man has

been m*rder*d on this ship.

- k*ller is among us.

- [LAWRENCE SLURPING]

I've been studying each of you,

and have learned devastating facts.

There are billions on the line

in the deal between the

Colliers and the Chuns.

The man across the hall, he

was not what he appeared to be.

Wait, hold on there.

IMOGENE: Keith Trubitsky

was your assistant?

That's why you were on the Varuna?

You know as well as anyone

how desperate the Colliers are.

Bankruptcy?

Preposterous.

They'd do anything to keep the

truth about their company a secret.

[MUFFLED YELLS]

Expose their corporate secrets.

And their connection to Viktor Sams.

The man who k*lled my mom.

[expl*si*n BLASTS]

I need you to get your hands

on the Collier Mills books.

'Cause whatever they're hiding

might explain not just one m*rder,

- but two.

- Now someone's dead.

My grandmother's spooked.

The deal's off.

I've just heard from Interpol.

Their best man is en route.

Agent Hilde Eriksen.

Sunil Bhandari, welcome to the Varuna.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

[CAMERA SHUTTER SNAPS]

RUFUS COTESWORTH: Reader,

we've been here before.

Two days before the m*rder,

the day the Varuna set sail.

Can't believe we're gonna be

trapped on this thing for 10 days.

I'm so sorry I dragged you into this.

[CART RATTLES]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER, LAUGHTER]

RUFUS: I'm going to tell you

the same story a third time now.

Can you figure out what's different?

The trick is to look

again, but through new eyes,

the eyes of a stranger,

an amateur.

The eyes of a fool, if you like.

LLEWELLYN: Let's just dump all

this stuff straight into the ocean.



Got somethin' important in those?

Keith Trubitsky Tripp's friend.

Oh, right.

- Toilets.

- Well, technically, we manufacture

- the flush levers on the toilets.

- I see. Okay.

So, I hear you're closin'

on some Chinese money.

Tripp's fun, huh?

Never shuts up, does he?

- What's in there? Due diligence?

- Mm.

You know digital files are

better for the environment.

I'll plant a tree.

Bring those to the fourth

deck preferably dry.

[CART RATTLES]

RUFUS: People mistook Danny for a fool.

It was his quiet power.

Get 'em to underestimate him.

Spill their secrets.

Didn't cost him much

until, in the end,

cost him his life.

[WATCH TICKING]

[WATCH DINGS]

- [BEEPS, STARTS RECORDING]

- This is Agent Hilde Eriksen,

Interpol badge number 7160 signing

in at 9 AM, Thursday, the 24th.

Preliminary examination of

the body of Mr. Danny Turner,

alias Keith Trubitsky.

I am assisted by Rufus

Cotesworth, civilian investigator.

He will be consulting on the case.

Should I introduce myself?

I think that will suffice.

You loved this man, didn't you?

- How long did he work for you?

- Long enough.

So, the k*ller entered

the suite without a w*apon.

They did not intend to off your friend.

Something escalated. An altercation.

- No defensive wounds.

- The fight wasn't physical.

- Did your friend like to drink?

- [CHUCKLES] Not to excess.

Just you, then?

I enjoy a tipple.

You have gone without for about a day

since you learned of the m*rder.

Your hand is unsteady.

You should drink more water. It

does wonders for the complexion.

- Careful

- I'd like to see the crime scene.



Llewellyn? Celia's trying

to pull the ripcord.

I need you to call me back.

Sorry. Hi. Crazy day.

I keep saying that, but

it keeps on being true.

I'm going to go to the pool.

I'd love to come, but the, uh

LEILA: I understand.

I'll, I'll try to meet you there later.

LEILA: Mm-hmm.

[CABIN DOOR OPENS, SHUTS]

How is she holding up?

Leila? She's fine.

Everything's fine

Did her usual sweep

for listening devices.

How many pillows did you lose this time?



[GLASS SHATTERS]

Six.

[FORK CLATTERS]

Where are the knives?

I need a g*dd*mn Kn*fe!

[CHICKEN BREAST THUDS]

Gross.

I have been trying to close

this financing for eight months

and now, all of a

sudden, it's up in flames,

and I can't even get

Llewellyn on the phone.

What are you gonna do about it?

[TV CHARACTERS SPEAKING IN

NATIVE DIALECT ON TABLET]

ANNA: [CLEARS THROAT] Mrs. Chun.

[PAUSES SHOW]

Please come back to the table.

We were so close.

No one in my family had

anything to do with the m*rder.

We are all devastated that

a man has lost his life.

Everything we know we've already

shared with the investigators.

Mrs. Chun you don't want to

walk away from this opportunity.

This is how you gain

a foothold in the U.S.,

and exposure to a heritage name.

I represent my family's interests.

You have 24 hours.



- [GRUNTS]

- [GASPS]

When?

Winnie.

This is bullshit.

The first people they look

at will always be the staff.

Which is why I need to

know anything curious

any of you might have

done, however small.

We have nothing to hide.

Tell me the truth so

that I can lie for you.

Your favorite activity,

playing the martyr.

I'm trying to keep this family safe.

And if one of the

crew had been m*rder*d?

You told me, last year, Vicky

in the kitchen slit her wrists.

They didn't even do an inquest.

They just chucked her overboard.

Enough.

TEDDY: Enough.

There will be eyes on all

of us until this is solved.

Watch your step.

JULES: This is reckless.

We need to dock the ship.

It doesn't benefit any of

us for the truth to come out.

The truth is a man d*ed on my watch,

and you're trying to cover it

all up to save your business.

I am following all

the official protocols!

I have the world's greatest

f*cking detective on board.

- What more could I do?

- Just dock the ship.

Let them question everyone on land.

Should I find it curious that you

wish to disembark so desperately?

AGENT HILDE ERIKSEN: I read your report.

Oh, I'm flattered.

Uh, please ignore my

typographical errors.

Hm.

What I find interesting are

the notes you chose not to play.

- Ah.

- You posit no theory of the case?

'Tis early for a theory.

And yet, you have one.

I'm quite confident you won't like it.

What makes you so sure?

You're reading Veblen in

its condensed publishing.

Says to me you prefer cutting

to the heart of the matter.

Ears are pierced, but

you do not wear earrings.

You no longer believe in embellishment.

Perhaps you once did, but

now, grand theories bore you.

They are frivolity.

You're a bureaucrat. You've

been given an assignment.

- Carry it out efficiently.

- [PHONE DINGS]

Inspector Friedrich says hello.

- Ah.

- He enjoyed reminiscing,

and, I assume, briefing you

as to how I like to work.

What a head of hair on

Friedrich. [CHUCKLES]

So, no, keep your theories.

Oh, and for your next book,

I find with a crime like this,

nine times out of 10, the

solution is straightforward.

Meat and potatoes.

And the 10th?

Just potatoes. Eh.

To the crime scene.



- No fingerprints.

- Wiped clean.

Anything missing from the scene?

A journal, brown, orange strap.

Danny never went anywhere without it.

Perhaps a motive lies within it.



Interesting.

The m*rder was done ad hoc

with whatever w*apon

the k*ller could find.

But this? This feels intentional.

- Like someone with an agenda.

- Hm.

- Or perhaps Danny dropped it?

- That's a sapphire crystal.

It would not have scratched

with just a mere drop.

No this was done with force.

A hammer,

or a boot heel.



[CRYSTAL SHATTERS]

AGENT ERIKSEN: 2:16, inside the

window of our missing security footage.

Ah. The k*ller broke in

and smashed the watch.

They likely planned to leave it at that.

But for our victim waking in the night.

That's when the argument ensued,

and the deadly harpoon was fired.

Then the k*ller deleted video

evidence tying them to the scene.

Pure potatoes.

How does that jive with

your theory, Mr. Cotesworth?

Does it matter? [CHUCKLES]

One of us will be right in the end.

[SUSPENSEFUL THEME PLAYING]





[WATER SLOSHES]

Hey.

- So, what's her angle?

- Another Cutty Sark, sir.

- We are schooled to anticipate our guests.

- I'll take a water.

It is as we expected.

She is focused on the

missing security footage.

She believes the k*ller entered

during those seven

minutes and 23 seconds.

So, it's a race.

We have to figure out who k*lled Danny

before she places me at the crime scene.

- It's not a race.

- Sounds like a race.

[SOFTLY] It's a race.

- I'm on it.

- Let's go.



Llewellyn, where are you?

Pick up, pick up, pick up.

- He's still missing?

- [ANNA SIGHS]

I'm gonna put an ankle bracelet on him.

But then you'd have to touch his ankle.

Hi, Teddy. It's Anna Collier.

Of course, you know that.

I need security to bring

our files to our suite.

TEDDY: I'll deliver the files myself.

[TEDDY SIGHS]

Let me guess. You hate it.

It's looking a bit depressing.

I can put some color back in,

- but I think that

- Mm-hmm. About earlier.

I'd strongly prefer it if you didn't

question my authority

in front of the staff.

The staff?

You mean, our family?

[SCOFFS] I knew you'd understand.

Perhaps something a bit brighter.

[WINNIE CHUCKLES]



[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]



[DOOR LOCK BEEPS]

[PHONE BUZZING]

What do you mean it's on the ceiling?

How's that even possible?

I'll be right there.

Do not let anyone else in.

[RECEDING FOOTSTEPS]

[DOOR THUDS]



What you don't need, two safes.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

- Alexandra.

- Toby.

Your son is on TikTok playing

himself in shuffleboard.

[SLIGHT CHUCKLE] Children are resilient.

Hm.

They are.

But they're takin' it in

even if no one's talkin' it out.

I remember summer before sixth grade,

one day, it was so hot and

we were all out on the street.

Someone came up in the alley,

and sh*t Marcus Wilson

three times in the back.

Cops came around and, well,

that was the kinda block

where you didn't talk

to cops, so nobody did.

They never caught the sh**t.

Marcus had a baby,

maybe a one-year-old.

Anyway,

that was the day I decided I would

find the bad guys and put 'em away.

- You didn't even do it for the likes.

- [ALEXANDRA COUGHING]

Hm.

[ALEXANDRA COUGHS]

Somethin' weird is goin' on.

Hopefully, just bad,

dumb luck coincidence,

but we need to be prepared to

answer more questions with Interpol.

What happened?

My staff got a call from our SuperPAC,

asked me to make nice

with Keith Trubitsky.

Even suggested the champagne vintage.

They couldn't tell me who the

donor was who made the request,

and I didn't think

anything of it at the time.

There's nothing unusual about that.

I sent the bar cart the g*dd*mn

k*ller was hiding in, Toby.

I need names.

I need you to find out

who made that request.

You put together the SuperPAC. You

know who calls in all my favors.

And you know there's a wall

between you and them for a reason.

Was it Lawrence Collier?

- Alexandra.

- He's the only donor on this boat.

Why the f*ck would he

set me up like that?

I supported five of his

10 opportunity zones.

Halfway is not good enough.

- So, it is him?

- I did not say that.

Take a breath.

If you even fix your face

to tell me to calm down.

I think sometimes he forgets

that I'm the Governor.

Sometimes you forget

who put you there.

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYS]

[LOCK CLICKING]

[SLIGHT CHUCKLE]

[OFFICE DOOR OPENS]

TEDDY: It's a four-digit combination.

Right, left, right, right.

I can explain.

You were trying to break into my safe.

Oh so can you.

Does your friend know you're here?

Perhaps I should inform her.

And then, of course, Interpol.

[GASPS] There is a thief

in our midst. A bad one.

I believe you both know that I'm

here on Rufus Cotesworth's behalf.

Then it should be no problem

at all to read Interpol in.

Please, don't do that.

Teddy, leave us.

The Colliers are

expecting these documents.

SUNIL: I'll handle it.

There are easier ways to meet women.

Check her pockets on the way out.

So Cotesworth sent you to burgle me?

Look, we think our m*rder victim

got his hands on those documents.

We think it's what got him k*lled.

Fine.

Have Interpol issue a subpoena,

and then the authorities

can open my safe.

- Or

- Hm?

Or we could look at them together?

Huh.

Why would I do that?

You want this whole

m*rder wrapped up, quickly.

Interpol gets involved, all the red

tape. It could take weeks, months.

Why do you wanna see them so badly?

[SIGHS] What am I missing here?

[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING]

We get our hands on those books,

we get that little girl the

truth she's been waitin' for.

The truth you promised her.

Rufus thinks that the

Colliers were paying blackmail

to the man that k*lled my mom.

Viktor Sams.

[SCOFFS] And if he's wrong?

Well, you wasted a hour

of your life with me.



[SIGHS]

How much can we afford to

give up is what I need to know.

- Tripp, open up!

- TRIPP [MUFFLED]: Ow! f*ck!

- Steve, everything's fine.

Just give me those numbers.

- Yes.

- Have you left this room today?

Good morning to you, too.

- Clean yourself up. Family meeting.

- Okay. Wait, why? Is everything okay?

- Everything's fine.

- Okay.

[TRIPP GROANS]

You were making so much progress.

There are peaks and valleys

in the journey to self-control.

I'll handle it it's cool.

It is not cool. They're

looking for a m*rder*r.

Yeah, well, I didn't k*ll anyone, so

- I didn't k*ll anyone, Anna!

- Tripp,

Trubitsky pulled out of your deal.

What if he told someone?

That makes you a suspect.

Yeah. You did court-ordered

anger management.

It was one f*cking golf cart. Can

[GROANS] What time's

this family meeting?

Keep your phone on. I'll call you.

- Love ya.

- Yeah, you too.

LLEWELLYN [ON VOICEMAIL]:

Yep. Please leave a message.

[SIGHS] Llewellyn, wake your

raggedy ass up right now. Thank you.

- [DEEP BREATH]

- [PHONE BUZZING]

Steve, stop. I know 12 and

a half is a big ask, but

Are you Are you at

a Little League game?

Go sit in your stupid hybrid SUV

and finish running the numbers I

asked for, right now. Thank you!

[ENDS CALL]

[KEYPAD BEEPING]

I'm going to need a list of

everyone who has that code.

Of course. This one

and the previous one.

[DOOR OPENS]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

You can go.

Your men are loyal.

Some of them are women.

What a world!

How did you come to work on

the Varuna, Mr. Toussaint?

It's a funny story, actually.

Mr. Bhandari encountered him

in London a few months ago.

You approved the appointment, Miss Goh?

[CHUCKLES] I serve at the pleasure.

And a guest was m*rder*d on his watch.

- Surely you have an opinion now?

- Ah, you want gossip.

Always.

But if we must stick to facts,

Mr. Toussaint was supposed

to be on duty that night,

but never clocked in.

- I fell ill.

- Did you check in at the medical bay?

He did not.

I took a pill and, uh, went to bed.

Hm How reliably French of you.

No one to corroborate your

whereabouts that evening?



[HEAVY BREATHING]

[MOANING]

[PANTING]

- [MOANING]

- [GRUNTS]

No. No one to confirm your story.

I guess you'll have

to take me at my word.

This is challenging

because later that same night,

someone stole seven minutes

and 23 seconds of footage.

Could not have been

someone from my team.

Oh.

Are you in the practice

of sharing the code?

Perhaps even a guest gained entry?

And why do you not have

cameras anywhere below decks?

- We trust our crew.

- Ha!

I am sorry. Apologies.

No worries.

- Someone entered this room.

Someone deleted footage.

I intend to find out who.

I will run a background check

on every member of the crew,

starting with your loyal security staff.

I can't stop you.

- [WATCH DINGS]

- Oh.

Look at that. I'm on lunch.

Mr. Cotesworth, care to join me?

Delighted.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

[TEDDY SCOFFS]

Barely slept last night.

But these things are proper magic.

Have you seen Leila?

Not today, but I've

just been at the pool.

- Something wrong?

- Everything's fine.

You look exhausted. I'm gonna

order you a B12 injection.

I've got plenty of vitamins, thank you.

- Can you get Mrs. Collier one of your

- I said no f*cking vitamins,

but thank you.

ELEANOR: You're wound tight.

[SIGHS] If I didn't know any

better, I'd say your grandmother

is using this m*rder

to sweeten the terms.

But you do know better.

Leila will turn up.

You never liked her.

I just don't like her for you.

You were supposed to wait.

I did wait. I

You had me wrapped around your finger.

I would've moved to Shanghai for you.

I would've done anything. You left.

I sat around and cried for six months.

You can cry?

Not sober.

How was I supposed to

know what you wanted?

You disappeared.

I'm here now.

Eleanor, I mean this,

your timing is for sh*t.

[LIGHT, CHEERY MUSIC PLAYING]

[LOCK CLICKING]

[SUNIL EXHALES SHARPLY]

We're looking for blackmail,

but I don't know.

These are these are

all just tax returns.

No. These aren't tax returns.

This is an audit into the company's

financials goin' back 50 years.

And by the way their good

times are well in the past.

So, the Chuns were right. They're broke?

They're illiquid. Highly levered.

- They're broke.

- Hm.

It gets real ugly two years ago.

This massive capital expenditure.

You hated being a banker?

- Yep. [CHUCKLES]

- Hm. [CHUCKLES]

Hm.

Mind you, no one suspected

the Crown Prince was capable

of stealing 500 million

kronor from his own mum

until I discovered the

Queen of Sweden's plot

- to have him committed.

- Pardon me?

- Cutty Sark, neat. On the house.

- Oh, uh Ah.

Ah.

Hm, lovely.

- What I did not know

- Hm.

is the prince

could overhear my revelation

from the palace privy.

Damn 18th-century plumbing.

Royal Guard was nowhere to be found.

I had to chase the bloke myself.

He left his trousers behind.

So, you've seen the crown jewels, too.

Well, you'd need a

magnifying glass for that.

We're relics.

Now it's down to data trackers,

cameras, facial recognition.

Some cop at a computer

- Hm.

- would've caught the prince

long before his fateful bowel movement.

- Miss the old days?

- I miss nothing.

And expect less.

Somethin' tells me

people have a bad habit

of underestimating you.

An overlooked detective is on

the fast track to the truth.

You read my book.

I watched a lot of Columbo.

[WATCH DINGS]

- Oh, back on the clock.

- RUFUS: Ah.

I'll find you later. I have

a few things to attend to.

A lead toward your grand theory?

[CHUCKLES] If anything

of substance arises,

you will be the first to know.

It is amazing the time a man is

willing to waste proving himself right.

[RUFUS CHUCKLES]



You got my message.

[LAUGHS] We need to

work on your tradecraft.

I found the files.

- What have we learned?

- Oh, nothing. It's a disaster.

Llewellyn, pick up! Pick up!

[SIGHS]

[DOOR LOCK BEEPS]

ANNA: Honey?

Leila?

Babe?



SUNIL: If they paid blackmail

to anyone, they've hid it well.

Nothin' dodgy in here.

Just a classic three-generation

family business.

Very few survive past that.

If the Chun family are keen

on plunking cash down on this,

- I certainly can't see why.

- Mm.

IMOGENE: Hold on.

RUFUS: May I?

It's a bill of lading.



But this has nothing to

do with profits and losses.

I don't think the Colliers

know that this is in here.

Two tons of Captionem

Blue? What the f*ck is that?

I, I failed science.

- B minus. Still stings.

- IMOGENE: Mm.

Captionem Blue.

A banned ultra-bright pigment,

invented so you could see

highway signs at night.

Clothing manufacturers liked it

because it was cheap, didn't bleed.

Peachy.

Except it causes cancer, dementia,

and all manner of knock-on ailments.

It says it was banned in

1989. When's this receipt from?

- I, I can't make out the date.

- IMOGENE: Here, let me.

- [PHONE BUZZING]

- ANNA [ON PHONE]: Hey, you with Leila?

- No. Didn't make it to the pool.

- Got swept up in something.

ANNA: Hot French

security guard something?

- I'm with Rufus.

- ANNA: Oh I'm sorry.

Any progress on the case?

[WHISPERS] No.

No.

How's it going with the Chuns?

ANNA: My entire side

of the table is MIA.

No one's answering their phones.

Leila never turns hers on. [SCOFFS]

It's fine. Everything's fine.

[ENDS CALL]

Why didn't you want me

to ask her about this?

'Cause without a date on that

document, it is meaningless.

You wanted a smoking g*n. Collier

Mills was using banned chemicals.

RUFUS: When?

They were banned in 1989.

Paper in your hand

could be 40 years old.

There's no telling if it is related

to the fresh body downstairs.

- It has to be related.

- Perhaps, perhaps.

But wanting a connection and

proving it are different things.

I can't prove that Danny saw this.

I can't prove that it got him k*lled.

I warned you not to enter

the case with preconceptions.

You want it all to be connected.

You want it all to go

back to your mother's case.

- Of course, I do.

- How many clues have passed you by

because you've been focused on that?

Anyone on this ship

could've k*lled Danny.

You've stopped paying attention.





Mom?

[WATER RUNNING]

[SIGHS DEEPLY]

Mom we need to talk. Like, now.

[WATER CONTINUES RUNNING]

- Mom?

- [MUFFLED MOANING]

- ANNA: Celia Chun wants to

- [KATHERINE MOANING]

ANNA: Jesus f*cking Christ!

- Anna! Wait!

- Oh, God!

- ANNA: N No, no!

- KATHERINE: Anna, Anna, please!

f*ck.

How could we have been so careless?

It's all right. Anna will understand.

If this gets out, it

will be the end of me.

My church, my reputation.

If my daughter knows one thing,

it's how to keep a secret.

- Mm.

- Katherine we can't.

- You're still married.

- On paper.

And I was still

married in the shower.

Once it's resolved, we can be together.

I can be patient.

No, you can't.

That's what I love about you.

Mm.

Mm.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[IMOGENE SIGHS]

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYS]

ANNA: I know the Jiangsu

revamp was expensive,

but it pays for itself in 10 years.

Okay?

Look, I gotta go.

Alright. I'll talk

to you later, Eleanor.

Hi. Sorry. You're here.

And you're still working with Eleanor?

- It's business.

- Right.

You know, people always say

that, but it's almost never true.

What do you know about business?

I can spell it.

- Wow.

- [IMOGENE CHUCKLES]

We need an investor.

Her grandmother has more money than God.

What's Jiangsu?

Do you actually care?

I care about you.

- But, no, I'm bored already. I moved on.

- [BOTH LAUGHING]

How's Leila?

Oh, come see.

Oh, just tell her that you left

your cell phone in your car.

Right, 'cause the 5G

will zap her brain cells.

On second thought, now

you don't get to see her.

Oh, no. Okay. I'm sorry.

Sorry. I'll be nice.

I will be nice.

[CHUCKLES] She hid a

Kn*fe under the bed.

Anna,

are you okay in here?

It's fine.

Just need to remember to wear

shoes in the house, that's all.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]



[ANNA SIGHS]

ANNA: I hate everyone

everywhere all the time.

LAWRENCE: Of course, you do.

I wish you wouldn't drink so much.

- The doctor said

- I take my vitamins with it.

[SIGHS] We're meeting

with Celia Chun tomorrow.

Mm.

You don't have to say anything.

I'll do all the talking.

You wanna shut me up?

I want you to sit there and

show them that I'm in charge.

You wanna shut me up.

We have one chance, Dad.

We make this deal or we go Chapter 11.

And whose fault is that?

You wanna play pin the

tail on the assh*le?

Fine. I made decisions

and now we're outta cash.

But the mess I cleaned

up was all you, Dad.

I found the Chuns.

I'm running this deal.

I'm the only adult in this family,

and I'll sell my f*cking soul

to bring Celia Chun back onside.

There she is.

My CEO.

Not until you announce it.

This is Agent Hilde Eriksen,

Interpol badge number 7160,

signing on at 9 AM, Friday, the 25th.

I am assisted yet again by Rufus

Cotesworth, civilian investigator.

Now I'm in the mood to

go through people's things.

After you.



Where is Mr. Toussaint?

Simon, Dominic.

- Yes, Miss Goh?

- Where's Jules?

We asked everyone to

be here for the search.

I haven't seen him since last night.

He's telling the truth.

- How do you know?

- Practice.

We must search Mr. Toussaint's room.



Cotesworth.

Hm.



Eriksen.



This book was a gift to you.

My father gives me mystery books.

Jules borrowed it.

- He always gives them back.

- Interesting.

- I don't see how.

- Of course, you don't.

We'd like to see your room.

You've already searched it.

[ANNA CLEARS THROAT]

I thought we were meeting

with the whole family.

Nope. Just me.

And our entire corporate

history, as requested.

And required by law.

Obviously.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

This is a waste of time.

AGENT ERIKSEN: This one

is not like the others.

Are you a fan?

Um that's not mine.



RUFUS: It turned out Jules

Toussaint was an alias.

Oh, f*ck.

RUFUS: The man running

security on the Varuna

had a rap sheet longer than

an overwritten metaphor.



He was just like Danny in that way.

He made sure others underestimated him.

- [MUFFLED GASPING]

- Shh.

[WHISPERS] You shouldn't have come here.

RUFUS: Our mistake.
