01x05 - Episode 5

[bunniefuu]

I have something to show you.

A man gave this to you?

- I was looking at Driver.
- As your riddler?

It wasn't him.

_

It all stopped when Sandy d*ed.

- Her friend took her away.
- Who?

He said you took away his daughter.

I need this to be over!

- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

Just doesn't look like that
work thing is gonna happen.

Brady: Half a pound of MDMA
found in Jesse's closet.

It's rainmaker Jed's trademark.

Annie: Make a list of anyone
that would have had access

to that much of your product.

Riddler: Don't trust the guy
with the fire in his eyes.

Annie: So no idea who lit
your garage on fire last night?

How easy is it to hack
into a surveillance camera?

Jim: Anyone with basic skills can do it.

Annie: Is it traceable?

Riddler: Hello, little light.

Hi.

Riddler: Hi.

Are you looking at me right now?

You look tired.

I've wanted to talk to you
since I was -years-old.

There's something I've
always wanted to tell you.

When my dad d*ed, you made it better.

Nobody got it.

Everyone thought I just
needed to face reality

and get over it.

But I needed him back.

Riddler: Your light went out.

I wanted to turn it back on.

Is it back on now?

Riddler: No. You have to force it now.

Do I know you?

Riddler: You should
trust your instincts.

Okay.

(Footsteps thud)

You showed me Driver.

But someone's trying to pin this on Jed.

My instincts tell me these
are two very different paths.

Riddler: They're connected.

- The murders are connected?
- Riddler: Yeah.

(Banging outside)

You're afraid of me.

I am afraid of you.

Because I don't understand you yet.

But I'm starting to.

It's not just a game for you, is it?

It's not just power and control.

It matters what I think of you.

This is about more than
just Sandy and Jesse.

It's about you and me.

If you want to keep this going...

you have to give me something.

Did the same person who k*lled Jesse...

- k*ll Sandy?
- No.

But they are connected? The murders?

- Yes.
- Connected?

Paths can take you wildly away

from anything you recognize

and still bring you back to your door.

I need to know how he would

for the funeral.

She.

(Receding steps thud)

Annie: You got half an hour
before you're shipped away.

Jed: I need more information.

The MDMA found in Jesse's
room, what form was it in?

- Pill form.
- Yeah, but packaging?

Different guys have
access at different stages.

Was it street level or wholesale?

Street level.

Little baggies, like ten pills each,

- secured with elastics.
- What?

Elastics?

No. That's not my guys.

We don't package it like that.

We're professional. It's business,

not some dollar store grab bag sh*t.

Whoever packaged those
dr*gs didn't work for me.

Jed said his guys
don't package like this.

Well, yesterday he wasn't a drug dealer.

What's that?

Jed's got flair. Where you going?

I'm gonna figure out who planted
Jed's dr*gs in Jesse's room.

You wanna come?

Fine.

Annie: You heard of anyone
selling Jed's MDMA...

packaged like this?

Mr. Debassage: No.

Brady: How likely is it someone
outside the usual dealers

would be selling?

Not here. Maybe outside town.

Those houses along the toll highway.

Back in the day, crazy
Neil almost made a living

selling Rez cigarettes there.

Used to be, we tried to talk
to you it cost us fifty bucks.

(Small chuckle) Yeah.

I'm working on being somebody
my boy can be proud of.

Annie: We're thinking that someone
planted these in Jesse's room.

Is there anyone else that
we should be talking to?

Problem is no one else is gonna
wanna talk to you right now.

You missed your window.

What window?

Between when the old boss goes down

and a new head sprouts in its place.

There's a new boss?

Like somebody who used to work for Jed

who's now running things?

Word is, unpaid debts
are being collected.

And if you can't pay,
bad stuff comes your way.

Brady: Hey, listen.
Nobody's talking to us.

You wanna keep going, go for it.

I'm calling it a day.

Maggie Sweetland's neighbor.

Cali, right.

Sorry, I'm not good with
faces out of context.

Is that a good thing for a cop?

Sometimes you poke around you
might not like what you find.

Sorry?

How's Eddie doing?

Never mind. Have a good day.

trapped my hand and...

No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean

I'll never believe he hurt anyone.

He'd never do that.

I need a little understanding here.
