Burner (2025)

Post by bunniefuu »

-Good morning.

You better...

start remembering right now.

- Funny thing about

trying to outrun your past...

that b*tch is fast.

- What about Dad?

- What the hell, Kiki!

- Goddammit!

- Does he know

where we live?

- It's been two years

since everything fell apart.

Three nine.

Code 4; suspect in custody.

Female juvenile, 12 years old,

remanded to the custody

of DCFS officer on scene.

- Mama!

- And when it's all gone,

it's when you realize

what's important.

- Lola Ray!

- Mama!

- Lola Ray!

- Mama, what's going on?

- Please let me talk

to her.

- Lola Ray!

- Mama!

- Lola Ray!

- Mama!

- Lola Ray!

- I still have regret,

fear and a past

to be ashamed of,

but those ain't things

to build on.

So I burned all

the old bridges

and started over.

I thought for sure

I'd put my life back together.

Some people say the past

is never really the past.

I just say...

that b*tch is fast.

- Okay.

-Hey, Grant.

- Hey, Kiki.

The judge said yes.

You're gonna get

your daughter back.

Now, it can be revoked

while you're on parole,

but the judge agreed

you're doing great.

- So you can pick her up

next week.

- Oh, yeah.

- Congratulations.

- Best day of my life.

Everything finally

coming together.

But the past is a living thing.

It knows your fears,

your weakness,

and all your secrets.

-Okay. Kiki, wait! Come on.

-Oh no, no, no. Uh-uh.

-No, I just want to talk. Huh?

-You're supposed

to be in prison.

When did you get out?

-Like almost two years ago.

-What?

-Look, I was in jail

a couple of weeks,

and I walked on

mishandled evidence.

Look, look. I know I should have

come to see you sooner.

-No, I don't want to see you.

I have a job.

I'm going to school.

-But what about Lola Ray?

-Oh, no, no.

That's none of your business.

-You can't see her.

-I--I don't have custody,

but that--that don't mean

I can't see her.

-Well, I don't have

custody either.

-Oh, come on.

Don't lie to me, baby.

I--it's not gonna be--

come on. Huh?

-Were you spying on me?

-No.

-You know, court cases,

motions--

I mean, they're all

public record, right?

-Oh, yeah. So you are.

-No. Look,

I figured we could

start over again.

-Are you crazy?

-No. I'm straight now.

No more drugs.

I'm not that guy anymore, okay?

You can't deny

I always made money for us.

-Yeah, by selling drugs,

and--and that is

what got us arrested.

That's what got me

put in prison,

-and our daughter taken away.

-That's the past.

-Is it?

-What's different now?

-What's different now

is that I'm getting out,

this time for real.

I got a plan.

One last deal,

and I'll walk away.

I'll walk away.

- Hell no.

Hell no. I am on parole.

I didn't walk

on a technicality.

No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait.

-Don't touch me. Don't touch me.

-Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Let me finish.

I want out too.

Out for good.

Jail was bad enough,

I don't want

to go into prison.

I've been hustling long enough

that I've made

some serious enemies.

So please, I swear to you,

this last one's big.

It's huge.

Look, we--

we can vmonos forever, baby.

You understand me?

-There is no us.

-There will always be an us .

As long as we've got

our daughter.

I want to see her grow up.

I'm ready to be a father again.

-Axar, you listen to me.

I worked so hard

on the inside.

I got clean. I got my GED.

I--I--I am working

on my bachelor's.

And you know what,

they granted me custody.

But you cannot come back

into my life.

Mm-mm. Nope. Can't risk it.

-Look, when we were together,

you had a house.

You had your own car.

With all these big degrees,

you still live

in a Section 8 studio

with no kitchen

or washing machine.

I mean, addicts and ex-convicts

living up the hall.

How can you raise her

like that, huh?

How you even

gonna go get her?

She's in North Cal, right? Hmm?

That last place

you almost run away from, yeah?

Now she's up in a facility

in Sacramento, huh?

-How would you get that idea?

- When you got friends

with the right connections,

you could look up anything.

Look, how do you plan

on picking her up, huh?

Take the bus, really?

You gonna pick up your kid

from state custody

and take her on a bus

with a bunch of f*cking losers

and people that smell like sh*t?

I mean, Kiki, that's sad.

So sad.

Why don't I just

give you a ride?

Deal's going down up north too.

-No way.

-We can get it done

on the way to get Lola Ray.

I mean, these buyers,

these buyers,

they're--they're gonna pay

by crypto,

so there's no money

counting and sh*t.

I mean, seriously,

it's in and out.

And we can do it on the way

to get our daughter.

-I'm gonna be her daddy again!

You can't stop me!

We're in this together, Kiki!

You hear me?

- Kiki!

Kiki, goddammit!

- What is going on?

-I work my a*s off and this is

how you pay me back?

Goddammit!

- What in the world

are you--?

- Really!?

Stop!

- Don't you--

don't you use that!

No.

- Axar, please.

Please, just stop.

-Hey, Kiki.

Kind of unusual

for clients to call

before their

scheduled appointment.

What can I do for you?

-Yeah, I know it's weird.

I--I just had

a couple questions.

- sh**t.

-Um, well, I'm ready

to go get her.

- I know. That's so good.

Congrats, Mama.

-Yeah, thanks. Um...

Uh, Axar came by.

-Are you okay?

Tell me about it.

-Well, he was waiting

outside the building,

-Your apartment building?

-Yeah. I have no idea

how he found me.

And--and--and nothing happened.

Like, he--he didn't

get physical or anything.

He just wanted to talk.

-About what?

-Lola Ray.

-It's not unheard-of

for estranged parents

to wander back.

-I don't want him involved.

I don't trust him.

-If he threatened you,

we can file a TRO.

-But I had one?

-Two years ago.

I'm sure it expired.

It wasn't permanent, was it?

-I--I don't know. Um,

I just, I thought

he didn't care.

He just, like, disappeared, so.

-If you want us to file one

for you, we can,

but the judge

will just throw it out

if he didn't threaten you.

Who's his parole officer?

-I don't think he had one.

He--he said

that he walked on a tech.

-sh*t.

Well, that makes it tougher,

I mean, especially if he kept

his nose clean.

-Oh, my God.

-Has he been in touch

with Lola?

-I don't think so.

I have to get her back, Grant.

I have to.

-That's not in question, okay?

We just have to worry

about Axar here.

Did you document

any of this conversation?

-No.

-Kiki, if he contacts

you again,

you have to document it.

Record it, livestream it,

film it.

I don't care.

-But he--he can't get custody,

right?

Like, is he even allowed

to see her?

-I'm not a lawyer. Maybe.

-Oh, my God,

I just wish he'd disappear.

-Okay. Hey,

right now, think about Lola.

Now, you're going to get her

this weekend, aren't you?

-Yeah.

-All right.

-Okay.

-You've put in all this work

for two years,

and you're so close.

All right, I gotta go now,

but we'll get on this.

You stay strong, all right?

Kiki?

-Yeah. Okay.

Doctor Wallace, line 1.

Doctor Wallace, line 1.

-Hey, baby.

- Hi, Mom. Um,

are you still coming

to get me this weekend?

-Oh, you know it.

Um, I am not sure

how I'm getting up there yet,

but I will be there.

I have a question. Um,

has your father

tried contacting you?

-Can I talk about that?

- Yes, that's okay.

-Yeah. He called like,

four times

the past couple weeks,

but they didn't put

him through,

and I don't want them to.

-Good. Hey, you don't have

to talk to him.

Just forget all about him.

-They didn't

give him custody, right?

-Just you?

- It's just me.

-How did you find out?

-About him calling?

Oh, I don't know.

I just had a weird feeling.

-Is he stalking you?

Did you see him?

-Oh, no, no, no.

Um, I ran into a mutual friend

who said he was talking

about it.

-So do we need to hide again?

What--what if he--

-No. Honey,

we're gonna be just fine.

Okay?

That's just him

spewing his crazy talk.

You know he's famous for it.

But I can promise you

he is never gonna

bother us again.

-How?

-I've known your father

for a long time,

since we were kids,

and I know how

his mind works, right?

He's never coming

around again.

Hey. In two days,

you will be down here with me,

and we are going to be

on a whole new journey, okay?

Just me and you.

We're starting over.

-I hope your enemies

never find you.

Trading work

for a place to sleep.

Surprised Harvey

let you work for him

after you stole his money,

-Ugh.

I paid him back.

-Hmm.

-How did you find me?

I mean, how did you

get in anyway?

-Sweet.

It's yours?

-Of course not.

I got a little drunk

last night.

You look good, baby.

-No. We're not there yet.

-Why are you bothering me?

-'Cause I'm thinking about it.

Kid needs two parents.

So I want to know,

how serious are you

about getting out?

-Dead serious.

- How much?

-How much what?

Do I love you?

Do you want a new car?

Do I need a shower?

-I know the answer

to all those.

-How much you making

from this deal?

-Put it this way.

We finally decide

to get married...

I want a pre-nup.

-And you said

they're paying in crypto?

I told you that?

-Jesus. Are you still

getting f*cked up?

-No.

Said I'm straight and I am.

But yeah.

Yeah, they're gonna pay

in crypto.

-So what's your take?

How much you makin'?

-Deal's for a million dollars.

-And what is your take?

-A million dollars.

-What about your boys?

Are you gonna burn 'em?

-My boys trust me

to take payment,

and I'll divvy up later.

-You're gonna cut 'em out.

-I'll vanish.

Crypto gets lost

into cyberspace.

-You're gonna be

looking over your shoulder

for the rest of your life.

-I love my boys

but they're not

the fastest engines in the race.

-And it's good to go?

Do you trust the buyers?

-No.

And that's another reason

I want to get out.

These guys are real pricks.

Always try to renegotiate

even after we've agreed

on a price.

But as long as we don't k*ll

each other first,

we do the deal,

and I'll get my money.

-And we can do this

on the way up to get Lola Ray?

-Absolutely.

Look.

We drive, we stop,

we make money.

We pick up our daughter

and we vanish.

Happy family once again.

Look...

I know I f*cked up.

But everything that happened

is in the past now.

Hmm?

And I'm gonna get

so much money,

we can put it all behind us.

So baby, you gotta say yes.

Huh?

You gotta say yes.

-Come on. Please pick up.

-Hi, Mom.

-Oh my God. Lola.

Sorry, I thought

I had the wrong time.

-I was late.

There was a kid in crisis

and we had to wait for staff

to de-escalate him,

but it's cool now, so.

Are you still coming

to get me?

-Of course, baby.

Um, I'm actually packing up

right now.

I'm driving up tonight.

-Do you have a car now?

-Uh, no, no, but I think

I have a ride, though.

But if that falls through,

I'm just gonna take the bus.

Don't worry, I will be there

tomorrow morning.

I'm--I'm sorry you've been

so far away for so long.

-I--it's been okay.

I mean,

this place is a lot better

than the foster home, so.

Did you get new furniture?

-Oh, yeah. Um-hmm.

-Are those bunk beds?

-Uh, the agency

had them donated,

and I thought

they'd be perfect for us.

-Didn't you have bunk beds

in prison?

-Hey, it was either that

or sleep in the same bed.

I know the place,

it's a little bit small,

but there's this courtyard

out back, and there's some,

like, really nice people

who live in the building.

I'm next on the waiting list

for a two-bedroom

and it's not

gonna matter anyway.

I'm--I'm gonna be at work

and you're gonna be at school.

It's gonna be great.

-You have to swear to me.

Swear that you're clean.

-Honey, I have been clean

for two years now,

one inside and one out.

I told you that.

-I know. It's--it's just that--

-I know I screwed up, all right?

But I--I have never

had my own place

and--and my own job,

and I get weekly tests

from my parole officer.

I have not missed

a single one.

So you can trust me, all right?

-I know. It's just that--

-Two years clean. They would not

give me custody if I wasn't.

-And you're not

dating anyone shady?

-I am not dating anyone, period.

There's no time

for that now.

Like I said, it's--it's just

you and me. Okay?

And I--I swear to you,

I will never make

those same mistakes again, okay?

It's just you and me

starting over.

All right?

- What the f*ck you doing?

-Checking our ETA.

I want to let her know

when we're gonna be there.

What the hell?

-No cell phone.

-What? Yeah, you said

when we got there.

-Seems like you've been out of

the game for a while, Kiki, huh?

-I am not in the game.

I am a ridealong.

-Yes, you are.

Game or rider,

it's all the same.

No cell phones.

Burner zone.

There you go.

- Mine had all my numbers

and everything.

-We'll get a new one tomorrow.

What?

Hmm? You don't back up?

-You said you quit.

-Quit drugs.

-Yeah, well, we have

four more hours,

not including

this little detour,

so you might want

to pump your brakes.

-Not gettin' drunk.

Just loosenin' up little.

-Stay here.

If we got some trouble

with these guys,

the boys will jump in.

-Yeah.

-Okay?

No, seriously, Kiki.

Stay in the f*cking car, okay?

-Yeah, got it.

Seriously.

I'll just sit right here.

-These f*ck are late again.

-Still got a few minutes.

-I don't trust these guys, Ax,

all right?

One of these deals is going bad.

-They pay the most,

plus fringe benefits

you don't get anywhere else.

So stay cool

and learn something.

-Okay, they tried to undercut us

twice now, right?

And you are the one

who said yes.

-They think their tough-guy act

is intimidating. Hmm?

But we get paid, right?

Biggest one yet.

-This crypto sh*t

makes me uncomfortable.

Can it be traced or something?

-Not if you take

the right steps.

We've anonymized everything...

wallet, email.

Whole f*cking thing,

right, Cade?

-Oh yeah. Yeah.

Okay. This sh*t you don't

worry about, all right?

I set it up myself, all right?

I--it's untraceable.

The only thing

that we have to worry about

is them f*cking

screwin' us again.

-I'm on it like sh*t on rice.

-You are?

-Whatever. Let's unload.

-Ax, you bring a f*cking bimbo

to--to a deal?

-Watch your f*cking mouth, Cade.

She's cool. Okay?

-They're not gonna--they're not

gonna think she's cool.

-Okay?

-Look, they will not see her.

-Yeah? So help unload

and quit seeing being

such a whiny b*tch. Okay?

Look, you're the

f*cking nerd here, okay?

You got it?

-Go.

-Yeah.

Got it.

Hey. Looks like having

a girl around

is ruffling

some peacock feathers.

So why don't I disappear

when the rest

of the sausage party arrives?

- Yeah, maybe.

-Come on.

-Cade, that better be a burner.

-Of course, it's a burner.

Dude.

This...

Hey.

Get your a*s out

of the car and hide.

-Cade. Don't you talk to her,

got it?

Don't you talk to her.

Go. Go.

-Where am I going?

-Get out. Keep low.

-Where am I going?

-Hide. Now. Go.

Go.

-Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm.

-Axar. It's been a minute.

You look healthy.

-Jaxson. Here's your product.

You want us to help load up?

- No foreplay?

I mean, ladies must love you.

A modern-day sweetheart, huh?

-Oh, they leave satisfied.

Just like I hope

we all do tonight.

-That depends on how good

we f*ck each other.

What you got for me?

-Million dollars' worth,

like I told you.

-Million?

-Check it out for me.

- It's light.

-Damn. I guess you

a little light tonight.

-f*cking knew it.

-Shut up.

-Look, come on, man.

Come on, Jaxson.

It's like the third time

you want to underpay us, huh?

-Hey, it's the third time

you came in short.

-We're not short.

I weighed it before I left.

Look, I got a scale

in my truck.

We'll show you the real weight.

-Look, man, I don't

got time for that sh*t.

We're runnin' a little late.

Why don't we just

call it an even 900?

- f*cking unbelievable.

-Street value's 1.5.

-More like two.

-We look like some low-level

street dealers to you?

We're a pass-through company,

and my client's

gotta make a profit.

I mean, that's good

for business.

That's why

we're all here, right?

-Yeah, okay.

-Okay, 975.

-I'm still at 900.

- What the f*ck do you wanna say?

- No, no, no. He's fine.

-You got something to say, man?

-He's fine.

He's just young and dumb.

Just young and dumb.

Okay?

-Honestly, I don't think

it's too smart

to bring a live wire

to a deal like this.

-You're right.

-That's how m*therf*ckers

get hurt.

-Well, let's do this.

Then we go

our separate ways, okay?

So what do you say?

Nine-seven-five?

-Nine hundred.

-f*ck it.

f*ck these guys, Ax.

-I got a b*llet

with his name on it.

-Shut up. Shut the f*ck up.

Shut the f*ck up.

- He's gonna get

somebody hurt.

-No.

Okay.

Nine-five-zero.

Oh, that's good.

Look, 925 because I like you.

-Yo, f*ck these guys.

-Shut up.

Shut the f*ck up.

-Okay. Okay.

- Okay?

- 9-2-5.

-9-2-5.

I appreciate that.

You take the proper precautions?

-Our wallet's deep as sh*t

in darkest hell.

-All street dealers

deal in cash,

but I'm sure you got plenty

in your lockup.

-That ship has kind of sailed.

But if you guys

don't like crypto,

I can get the f*ck out of here.

I got a couple friends

at the agency,

make a call.

Y'all running around with a

million dollars' worth of pills.

- No, no, no, no, no.

- Chill out.

-It's all good.

It's all good.

- All right.

- Let's do it. Let's do it.

-Little man, check the wallet.

-It's only 920.

-Jaxson, what the f*ck

is going on?

Some kind of joke, huh?

-What are you talking about?

-Jaxson, what the f*ck

is going on?

- What's going on is-

- You f*cking me, huh?

-You didn't do the due diligence

to check the conversion rate

or check the host,

that's your problem.

I sent 925 to whoever's

on the end of that wallet.

They accepted it.

That's a done deal.

Get the f*ck away

from our product.

-Cade!

Cade!

- Ow.

-Axar.

-Axar?

-Oh, f*ck.

Who's the f*ck?

Oh, what the f*ck?

Those f*ck.

-Help. Hey, Kiki,

who else is alive?

- Um...

- Who else is alive?

- No one.

I don't think anyone.

- Oh.

-How long have I been out?

-Um, a--a couple minutes.

-We gotta get out of here.

Oh, we gotta get out of here.

They're gonna send--

they're gonna send backup.

-Did--did you just say backup?

- Uh-huh.

-Are these f*cking cops?

Are they--are they f*cking cops?

-Yeah, yeah. We got it.

We got their money.

We got those f*ck' money.

Kiki. Kiki, you gotta help me

get in the truck.

- Axar, you--you're not-

- Kiki.

-You're not gonna make it.

I gotta--I gotta get Lola Ray.

-Oh, help me. Kiki!

-No, I'm--Axar, you're-

- Help me

in the f*cking truck!

- You're not gonna make it.

I gotta get Lola Ray.

-Kiki, help me

in my f*cking truck!

Kik!

- Kiki!

- Oh, sh*t.

-Holy sh*t.

-Holy sh*t.

-Yo, stay cool.

All right, you lose control,

things get f*cked up real fast.

-I think they're all dead.

-That's quite an observation.

You're ready for detective.

Stay frosty. Hit the berries.

-What? Why?

-If anyone shows up, it looks

like we're investigating.

Do it now.

Now.

-I think this is gonna

work out for us.

-What the f*ck

are you talking about?

We need to get

the f*ck outta here.

-You need to keep

your f*cking head on straight.

All right? We're good.

No one knows we're here.

We're not on duty.

These guys are gonna go down

as bad cops and take the fall,

and we're gonna get the dope

and business keeps moving.

See?

Product survived.

Load it up.

I'm gonna do

a little housekeeping.

-Wait a second.

He's still alive.

He's still alive.

-Yeah, that sucks.

Sorry, buddy.

-What the f*ck are you doing?

-Do not act like you don't

f*cking get it.

He's one of my oldest friends

on the force.

But you know what?

We chose to f*cking be out here.

Now, what do you want?

He wants to survive

and go to f*cking prison?

You think he wouldn't do

the same thing to you or me?

We need to wrap this sh*t up

with no loose ends.

Get it? Load up.

-Grab the detector.

- What?

- Grab the detector.

- I'm getting it.

- What is it?

-How many dead bodies?

-I don't know,

like five or six, maybe.

-Okay. Most people commit crimes

with their cell phones, so.

-Ah, there it is. Seven signals.

-What do you mean seven?

That--that doesn't make sense.

-There's four-

-There's an extra signal.

- So four of the dealers--

-There's an extra signal.

-Well, well, well.

Would you look at that.

One of those signals

just went dark.

Sounds like someone

is so close,

they can hear us.

-Let's split up.

Go around the back.

- On it.

-Stand up.

- Tarley!

- Coming.

-Um, I--I--I'm just

a girlfriend.

Axar brought me here.

-What happened?

-What do you mean?

-The deal went bad. Why?

-I don't know.

I was told to hide

-and I did.

-What did you hear?

-Like, arguing.

-About what?

-Um, price.

I--I think it was

really i--i--intense

and then they just

started sh**ting

-Who shot first?

-I don't know,

it was--it was everywhere.

I just like--

-Did the money get transferred?

-I don't know.

-So you're worthless to me.

-I don't un--understand.

-Yes, you do.

-Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay--

-f*ck you.

-Okay, so it's like that?

- Come on, b*tch.

-Get up.

-Innocent little girl, are you?

You're a f*cking badass.

f*ck you.

-Axar, what are you doing?

-Not too late, baby.

We gonna get Lola Ray.

Start our family again.

Or I should sh**t you?

Eye for an eye and sh*t.

-She'd get the money anyway.

I already arranged for her

to get it if I don't make it.

I did it all on your burner.

But if you k*ll me now,

our daughter will stay in

the system until she turns 18.

And then she will age out,

and she'll get the money,

and she'll blow it.

And then she just

end up some...

lonely kid who got out

of the system,

just like you and me.

But I can make sure our daughter

has a chance at a new life.

-Oh.

-We had some

good times together.

-Yeah, we had some great times.

-I know, I know. All kinds, too.

I underestimated you,

Kiki girl.

You're a real player.

-No.

I'm not.

-If you leave me here,

they're gonna know

someone got away.

So get me in the truck, Kiki.

-Kiki?

I did my best.

Tell her...

I...

I'll tell her.

-I'm here to pick up

my daughter, Lola Ray.

-Oh.

- Let's go home.

-Um...

so I know the place is tiny,

but, um,

we've got a fridge, uh,

we've got a hot plate.

Um, there's this little patio,

and it's--

it's like another room, yeah?

And I know the place looks

a little bit shady,

but, um, the agency vets

everyone who lives in here,

so it's super safe.

Yeah, um, everyone who lives

here is, uh, on the right path.

-So it's like a foster home,

but for ex-cons.

-Yeah, sure.

Something like that.

There's families in here too,

with kids, and--

-It's great, Mom.

It's really great.

-Good.

I know that bus ride

was really long.

Um, I can make us a sandwich,

or we can go out and eat.

-Um, we may want

to shower first.

-Yeah. Yeah, you're right.

Um, the bathroom

is over here,

and, um, the fridge,

it doesn't have a ton of food,

but, um, I've been

learning to use the apps

and I can have something

delivered here.

Hey, uh, do you know anything

about crypto?

I've been dabbling with it

recently, and yeah, I like it.

Hey.

Are you okay?

-What about...

what about Dad?

-What about him?

-He lives in LA, right?

Does he know where we live?

-No. Your father,

he is out of our lives.

He will never bother us again.

-But he just called me

the other day.

What if he comes

looking for us?

It can't be that hard

to find us.

-Honey, he's gone.

-What do you mean?

-So, I--I found out,

my parole agent,

he told me that, um,

he started selling drugs again

and, um, he got

what was coming to him.

You know, I know your father

was not a good guy,

and I stayed with him longer

than I am proud to admit,

and--and I--I can't explain it.

He had a funny side

and an adventurous side,

and--and in another life,

I like to think that he would

have been a good person, okay?

But everything

that happened in the past,

I walked away and I burned

that bridge, okay?

All that matters is us right now

and--and our future.

Hey, I, I promise

we're gonna be safe.

We're gonna be happy.

You know what?

To hell with sandwiches.

Let's go

to a really nice restaurant

and--and celebrate you

coming home.

-Sounds good, but I don't, like,

have anything nice to wear.

And... Mom, really?

-I stink?

You know what, it's okay.

We'll go shopping.

-Mom, why don't we just

wait and--

-No. Okay, tomorrow

we will live small,

but today I want

to celebrate, okay?

I just gotta find a place

that takes crypto.

- Well, Kiki,

today you complete your parole,

which means that in the eyes

of the court,

you have satisfied

your obligation

and are no longer an inmate

of the State of California.

Congratulations.

I just need you

to sign these documents

and you're free to go.

-Just get--excuse me?

- Good morning.

- What are you doing?

-I'm Detective Ricardo with CBI,

and you must be Kiki.

I heard that today

you complete your parole.

-This is totally inappropriate.

-Oh, this won't

take long, Grant.

I'm just here investigating

the incident that occurred up

in the Coalinga area

a few months back

where, sadly, your husband,

Axar Van Doren, was k*lled.

-We were never married.

-But you share

a daughter, right?

Oh. Common law, I guess.

-Detective,

what is the meaning of this?

-I'm glad you asked, Grant.

You see, we didn't like

what we saw at the crime scene.

Things just didn't add up.

You know, nothing made sense.

For instance, we found

a lot of dead bodies and drugs,

but no money.

There's always money

at drug deals, right?

Not even any money

in Axar's truck

where he clearly drove away in.

So we started thinking,

hmm, maybe...

maybe there's someone else

who is unaccounted for.

And well,

for a detective like me,

loose ends are a real thorn,

especially when it comes

to rogue cops.

So, here I am investigating

all known associates

to the deceased,

of which you happen to be one.

-Oh no, I wasn't

Axar's associate.

We were in a relationship,

and then I went to prison,

and then nothing else

after that.

-Fifteen-year relationship,

that's quite a while.

- Off and on.

-Huh. You two met at a

group home

or something like that?

-Detective, this isn't the time

or the place for this.

-Oh, I'm sorry, Grant.

Is there a better time or place?

Like maybe at Lola's school

where you pick her up?

Or how about that

new dentist's office, huh?

-What dentist's office?

-I was going to tell you.

That job interview for

the front desk at the dentist.

I got it.

Yeah, I found out yesterday.

-Yeah, so did I.

You--you didn't know?

Oh, that's great.

Congratulations.

Maybe we could do this

then and there.

Would that be good?

First day on the job?

Have this discussion?

-No. No, I didn't think so.

Good. I'm a do-it-now

kind of guy myself.

Grant, 100 percent

of the things you do get done.

Now, Miss Kiki,

why don't you tell me

the last time you saw

your deceased husband

before his demise?

-He would drop in on me trying

to get back together.

A couple days

before he disappeared,

he cornered me on the street,

and I said to him the same thing

I say every time.

No.

-No? So you're saying

you didn't have anything to do

with any of his business?

-I got involved once,

and I lost my daughter over it.

Never again.

I have no idea

what happened to him.

-Hmm. Here's what I keep

bumping up against.

The very same night

this whole crazy fiasco

goes down,

you're traveling

from Los Angeles

to a juvenile residential

facility in Sacramento

to pick up your daughter

that you share with Axar,

who's 93 miles away

doing a drug deal.

-It's coincidence.

-Coincidence?

You don't own a car, do you?

-No.

I caught a ride.

- With who?

-I don't know.

- You don't know

who you rode with

from Los Angeles to Sacramento?

-No.

Because I hitchhiked.

-Hitchhiked?

Old school, I like that.

Well, what kind of car was it?

-Who were they?

-I mean, it was night time.

Like a little

crossover-type car.

Like grayish.

Nice couple, Mary and Jack.

-Mary and Jack. They were nice

to pick you up, right?

- I didn't get

their last name.

-Hmm.

The shootout occurred

between 3:09 and 3:18 a.m.,

and at 7:02 a.m.

on the very same morning,

you bought a ticket

from the Central Autobus station

on Sonora Street

in Stockton

to catch a bus, 7:30 a.m. bus,

heading to Sacramento.

Now that's 300 miles from here,

but only four miles

from where Axar was found dead

just a few hours earlier.

So tell me, Miss Kiki,

how come you thumbed 300 miles

to Stockton only to buy

a bus ticket for the last

40 miles? Hmm?

-That's all I could afford.

-That's all you could afford?

-I don't have any money.

-You don't have any money?

Look, I don't give a damn

about those who died,

the dirty cops

or the drug dealers,

they're all scumbags in my book.

But what I do care about

is loose ends.

Like I say, they're a real thorn

in my side.

So I can't have any loose ends

biting me in the a*s

on this case,

like some dirty money

popping up.

-Hmm.

I don't see how anything could

come back around after this.

Seems like just a bunch

of dead drug dealers to me.

-Well, if there's no

other evidence,

like the money,

I'm willing

to put this case on ice.

Grant, thank you for your time.

Sorry for the interruption.

Miss Kiki, good luck

on your new job...

and your new life.

Don't screw it up.

-Last day pushing

a broom, right?

-Did I wake you?

Nah, I was already awake.

-How are you gonna spend

your free Saturday?

- You know Marcy on 26?

- Mm-hm.

She wants to hang out

because her mom's working too,

so she invited me over

to chill in her room with her.

-I like her mom.

Um, I'm gonna send her a text

to make sure everything's good.

-Mom, you know you don't need

to worry about me

every single second.

I was on my own for two years.

-Then I got a lot of time

to make up for,

so I will be texting her mother.

-Fine.

- Love you, Lola Ray.

-Yeah, I love you too.

- Oh, Jesus.

-Are you...

Cade?

-f*ck.

-What the f-

-Shut up. Shut up. Shut up.

-Kiki...

I saw you drive away that night.

-What are you talk-

-Don't bullshit me.

I set up Axar's wallet.

I--I changed his VPN,

I picked his Tumblr,

I anonymized his email,

I set up the guardrails. Me.

And when I get back,

it's gone. Poof.

Who's the only other person

to survive?

You. So I know you took it

and I've spent the last

six months of my life

tracking it down,

trying to take it back.

I want that money, Kiki.

-I swear I don't know

what you're talking about.

-Okay. All right. Okay.

Listen to me.

Either I become a millionaire

or you're gonna die. Today.

And maybe even your daughter.

For six months,

I've watched you.

I know where you live,

I know where you work,

and I know where your daughter

goes to school.

She's a beautiful

young lady, Kiki.

Don't make me do this.

-Okay. Okay, I took it.

-Okay.

Now, we're making progress.

-I don't know what you want.

-I want what's mine!

Kiki, now.

I want your exchange number.

I want your VPN.

I want it all now.

-Okay, look. I don't have any--

I don't have any

of that memorized.

-Kiki, you stole

a million dollars in crypto,

and you can't find it?

That's bullshit!

-I swear I don't--

Okay, okay, okay.

I can try to remember.

Okay.

-You better start remembering.

-What are you--

-Kiki.

Kiki.

- Kiki.

- Kiki!

Stop! Kiki!

Where are you gonna go?

Where?

Where?

-I just want the money!

- Put me down!

- Cade, put me down.

Put me down.

-Stop!

Stop it!

-Threaten my daughter again,

you son of a b*tch.

-Why did you have

to make it so hard?!

I just wanted the money!

-f*ck!

Why? Why do you

have to make it so hard, Kiki,

when you could have

just given me the money?!

It's all I wanted!

It's on you now, okay?

It's on you. I--

I'm gonna hit you.

I'm gonna hit you in your face.

And I'm gonna hit you

in your hands until you tell me.

All I want is the money!

How hard is that?!

Don't make me hurt you anymore!

-Yeah, you hit me again,

I'm gonna k*ll you.

-You're gonna k*ll me?

You're gonna k*ll me?!

I am the alpha male here!

I am the alpha male!

What am I even

talking to you?

I--

Yeah.

I'm gonna f*cking k*ll you.

-Okay.

-It wasn't me

that started the g*n fight.

- Oh, my God. I just wish

he'd disappear.

And what is your take?

- A million dollars.

- See, we didn't like

what we saw at the crime scene.

-Things just didn't add up.

You know, nothing made sense.

For instance, we found

a lot of dead bodies and drugs,

but no money.

Now, Miss Kiki, why don't you

tell me the last time

you saw your

deceased husband

before his demise?

-Run!

- So do we need

to hide again?

- No. Honey,

we're gonna be just fine.

-These buyers, they're--

they're gonna pay by crypto.

So there's no money

counting and sh*t.

I mean, seriously,

it's in and out.

We can vmonos forever, baby.

-There is no us.

There will always be an us,

as long as we have

our daughter.

-No money.

There's always money

at drug deals, right?

Not even any money

in Axar's truck,

where he clearly drove away.

So we started thinking, hmm.

- They're managed by

- peer-to-peer networks

- Maybe...

- of computers running.

maybe there's someone else

who was unaccounted for.

Look, I don't give a damn

about those who died.

Hi, this is Cindy Crypto.

In this video, I'll explain

how to use a Tor Browser, VPNs,

-But I can't have

any loose ends biting me

in the a*s on this case,

like some dirty money

popping up.

Cindy Crypto here,

and today I'll discuss

how to anonymize your wallet.

...anonymize your wallet.

-Lola Ray, Lola Ray, Lola Ray.

Lola Ray.

-Mom, why are you acting

so weird?

-Because I just got

some excellent news.

-Yeah? What is it?

-We got approved.

-For what?

Mom, for what?

-We got our own place.

We're moving in next week.

-Oh, my God.

Mom, that's so cool.

- I know, right?

- Is it bigger?

-Oh, yeah. Of course.

Um, there's a real kitchen,

and there is a washing machine

and a dryer and two bathrooms.

-Two?

Does that mean...

-Two bedrooms.

-So I get my own room?

- We both get one.

I don't have to listen

to you snore anymore.

-Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

- This is amazing.

- I know, I know, I know.

-My own room.

-Um, there's one more thing.

-We're almost there.

-Mom, even for you,

this is a little dramatic.

-It's gonna be worth it.

Okay, ready?

-Ready?

-Mm-hmm.

-The car?

-The car.

What do you think?

-It's cute.

Is it...

-Oh, my God! No way.

Oh, I'm so proud of you.

You earned it, Mom.

-Thank you, sweetheart.

-Oh, my God.

-I have been saving and saving,

and I bought that this morning.

-I can't believe it.

A new apartment

and a new car in one day.

It's gonna be so hard

to live in our little place

until then.

-You know,

I thought the same thing,

so I rented us an Airbnb

through the weekend.

You wanna go

to San Diego a couple days?

-Mom, where are you getting

all this money from?

-You know, we lived tight

the last few months,

so it's time to live a little.

-Okay. Um, I'll go pack a bag.

-Oh no, no, no.

I already did.

In the back seat.

-So you secretly planned

this all out.

Damn, Mom, you're like

a master criminal.

-No, not really.

More like a girl trying

to live her best life.

-Okay, let's go.

- Your best life.

That's all about

the decisions you make.

For a long time,

I made some pretty bad ones.

But now, day by day,

nothing but good choices.

I still have secrets.

We all do.

And the past still knows them.

But the crazy thing is,

after everything burns,

a new life grows.
