CASSIE: Listen.

Before we get out, I just want to say...

Silent all the way to the marina,

and now she finally speaks.

I didn't know what to say. I just...

Thank you for picking me up and driving.

I thought to myself, "Hmm, Shane.

You'd better show up."

But also you outed me as a CIA agent,

to my boyfriend while you were drunk.

Oh, my God. That was so bad...

And then there's this whole Megan thing.

Honestly, I'm kind of on
the fence about our friendship.

But I don't think that you deserve

to be framed for m*rder, so...

[sighs] Listen,
I'm not talking because...

my entire family... well...

what's left of it just, like, imploded

like a dying star overnight,

and now I'm back in this nightmare,

but hurting you is, like,
the worst part of all of it.

I do appreciate your apology.

- Okay?
- [sighs] Oh, thank you.

Come on... what? What, what, what?

I did some digging.

A lot of digging, and I found out

that everyone who has d*ed

has had contact with Will,

the mark who was k*lled in Berlin.

Okay, well, Benjamin is the one

that tells me where to go, so...

Mr. Berry fought to be your handler.

That's Benjamin's errand boy.

There's times I want to burn
the whole sh*t down.

Do you think he fought
for me to be an asset

so that he could, like,
pin all this sh*t on me?

Like, building some sort of
f*cked up case against me?

[scoffs] Why would I k*ll these people?

What would my motive even be?

Honestly, I have no clue.

Okay, so Max tracked down
the registration number.

What the hell is a slip?

Slips are parking spots for boats.

Okay, so...

Wait, wait.

This is the one. This is the one.

That's the same registration
number from the View-Master.

- What?
- Shh.

Mmm! Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Mm-mm.

Wow.

Don't touch anything.

[gasps] Oh!

[coughs]

[coughs] Oh, my God.

I'm... Oh, my God, I know that guy.

That's... that's... that's...
That's the cloudy...

That's the cloudy eye guy.
He works with Benjamin.

- I saw him in Berlin.
- Wait, wait, wait.

- He was in Berlin?
- Yes!

What are you doing? What are
you doing? What are you doing?

I need to call the police.

This is a crime scene.
These bodies are in rigor.

It means they were k*lled
within the last six hours.

Okay, but maybe
there's like, a... surveillance

around here that can help us
figure out what happened?

No, no, no. See...

CIA falls under US Code Title .

That's tracking people with drones,

That's hunting down North Korean
spies on airlines.

Not this. This is the police.

- Okay?
- Okay.

Look, I get that you're scared
right now, but,

we gotta handle this correctly.

This can't be about you right now.

No, no, I can stop this.

The scanner was a little
expensive, but so worth it.

Plus I can always write it off. Anyway,

I heard the call go out, and
I'm always up for an adventure.

- Okay, no. Stop.

Stop. Listen.

Listen, there... Real people d*ed today.

No, no, no, and you're being

I wish you a really healthy recovery,

but you need to get some perspective
on what's going on here.

O-kay. Well, I'm here,

and I'm taking this seriously, Cassie.

You know what? Fine. Fine.
Can you just stay away from me?

Can we do that? Can you do that?

I didn't know you were gonna be here.

If you don't want to talk to me,
fine, but you're not the boss

of crime scenes that don't
even involve you.

You're right. You're right. Sorry.

I didn't expect to see you.

I didn't mean for this to be a thing.

You know, you're lecturing me.

Again. And I, like,
really looked up to you.

He's CIA. He's a CIA agent.

Are you f*cking kidding me right now?

I promise.

Okay, stop making promises that

- Okay.

Every person that has d*ed

has been associated with Will,

- No, no, there's no "we."

There's no "we." Miranda stabbed him.

The point is is that they had

And they also had a head's up

His name was Shane Evans.

There's always a trip to DC.

Okay, so here's the last slide.

First I thought it was, like,
a fast food restaurant booth,

but then I realized
it's the same kind of plastic

they would use for seats on a ride,

which would explain why
it's seemingly up in the air.

Like a ride at an amusement park?

Yes, and then I was thinking

why is there ocean water under it?

An amusement park ride on a pier.

Okay, well, the only one is
obviously Santa Monica Pier.

- It has rides.
- Yeah, but we don't know when.

Well, it has to be today, right?

- I'm sorry, what?
- Whatever has to happen

at the pier has to happen today.

Babe, you have to say more.
That doesn't make senses.

Tomorrow it closes for an
entire month of refurbishing,

completely shut off to the public.

I read about it when I was
planning a visit with Annie,

so given that and the way the
killings have been accelerating,

that would make today
the most likely day.

- I can make you an algorithm...

Go to the pier.

Really? No wry, suicidal comment?

I can be nice sometimes.

Okay, you're holding a Kn*fe,

and you seem different.
What is happening?

Oh, see, no, no. This is my Kn*fe,

But you should grab
a w*apon, too, so you feel safe.

Okay, that's actually a good idea,

but I don't trust
this whole new you situation.

Come on, we're finally
on the same page here.

that you don't want to do.

- Benjamin Berry?
- Yes! Yeah!

He definitely can't make me do anything.

I just stabbed him.

Wait, what...

Okay, um...

I... I thought you were wor...

Jesus, Cassie, I'm a trained k*ller.

You're a flight attendant
with a box cutter.

[cutter clanks against bars]

And everybody here saw
two blondes get on this ride,

and both of us being on here together

really fucks the whole plan.

- It's not great.
- Oh, God.

[sighs]

Why are you the one freaking out here?

I told you, this is not my very
f*cking favorite thing to do.

- Okay? Any of it.
- Oh, okay, just... okay.

I genuinely liked you.

It's so much bigger than you or me.

Okay, Grace, please, listen.

You told me that when
my life was falling apart

to come to you.
Well, my world is falling apart

so please, please put that g*n down.

I am begging you,
please do not sh**t that g*n.

I wanted out of the army.

Like, at all costs, 'cause
I hated what they made me do.

- What?
- And now I'm doing

the exact thing
that I didn't want to be doing...

I'm k*lling people for someone else.

It's just such a f*cking trap.

Well, why me? Why me? Why did you...

Why did you plant that View-Master?

What View-Master?
What are you talking about?

Look, if it was up to me,
then neither of us

would be here right now. Now who am I

now that I spend my time
dressed up like you?

Where can I go? Nowhere!

Okay, yes, you can.
There's always a way out.

I k*lled people.

When this ride is over,
I'm going to prison.

The worst part, I never had a choice.

- [distant sirens blaring]
- Okay, okay, listen to me.

Just tell me who is making you do this.

You do have a choice right now.

You do have a choice.

[sighs] No, you're right.
I do have a choice.

[sirens continue]

Okay, Grace, listen to me.
Just listen to me.

- No...
- [g*n fires]
