Swear for me, Mary.

Swear for me on your daughters'
lives you k*lled my husband.

- I swear.
- Travis, meet Mary.

She's the woman
your wife hired to k*ll you.

You got to go into the station.

You give a statement,
and then I can go after Olivia.

- Sorry, I had to get gas.
- Get me a pack of tallboys.

You got a pretty
girlfriend there.


Oh, no, she's not
my girlfriend, man.

She's a...

Bitch.

Picture this.
Cabins right here.

There's one for each patient.
We register as a hospice.

That way, when there's
a dead body,

no one will ask any questions.

Joshua Yang, ,
dying from bowel cancer.

- I'm a virgin.
- Virgin?

You're not ready, Josh.
Get laid, all right?

Well, I think doctors feel
it's important for patients


to choose their death.

You'll feel a rush
through your body,

and then a warm feeling
of peacefulness

will take you slowly into sleep.

Jess, I need
to tell you something.

Naomi, what is wrong with you?

- I don't know. I don't know.
- Travis needs to disappear.

We'd always be looking
over our shoulders, Des.

You think k*lling me
is gonna keep you safe?

Olivia won't.

Travis?
You put pento in his beer?

I did what you were gonna do.

There's no coming
back from that.

I feel relieved, I guess.

Our problem is solved.

Yeah, I guess we have

Travis is gone.

He won't come back.

Olivia will leave us alone.
It's over.

Is it?

You know, I've been to jail,

but I never actually
felt like a criminal.

But now,

Don't say that.
That's not true. We did...

No. I can't reach it.

Try harder.

You try. Your arms are,
like, extra long.

The party was your stupid idea.

Get it out.

Is it broken?

Are we broken?

My mom's back.

You look like your head hurts.

No, I'm A-okay.

So we cleaned up the place,
and you love me.

So all is forgiven, right?

I love you, and
you're in a lot of trouble.

That's not fair.

Where were you last night?

If you hadn't been gone, there
wouldn't have been a party.

So where is your
karmic retribution?

Well, you're out of control,
so there's that.

You're being a little harsh.

Naomi, just stop.

Is there something
you'd like to say to me?

I met your boyfriend last night.

I don't have a boyfriend.

Are you sure?

Accent? Hot?

Or maybe he was just tall.
You know what?

I can never actually tell
with older guys.

It's weird.

But yeah, he was collecting

all your lingerie
for your night shift.

My dating life
is none of your concern.

Cleaning my house,
which you trashed, is.

It was just a party.

It's not like we k*lled
anyone or anything.

Mrs. Bloom, when was the

My husband likes to drink.

Sometimes he disappears
for days... goes on a bender.

So three days ago?

That was the last time
you saw him?

I've been calling him,
leaving messages.

He hasn't gotten back to me.

to leave town?

Nope.

Can you think of anyone who
may want to harm your husband?

No.

Mrs. Bloom,
the reason I'm here

is known to police.

What does that mean?

I'm sorry to be the one

to have to lay this all on you.

Well, you're just
doing your job.

a missing persons report.

He's only been gone a few days.

He's disappeared for longer.
I'm sure he'll be back.

Okay, well, if there's
anything, just call.

I will.

the Day of the Dead.
