Blood Pact (2025) Movie Script

[MUSIC]
[MUSIC]
[MUSIC]
[MUSIC]
Maybe we did it.
[LAUGH] Mrs. West, welcome home.
I could get used to that.
[LAUGH]
So what's next, Mr. West?
[MUSIC]
Wow, can you believe it?
Married?
This feels wild, but amazing, of course.
[LAUGH] Crazy, right?
Mm-hm.
I mean, who would
wanna put up with me, so.
Please, cuz I'm basically a saint.
Actually, let's make that angel.
The pillow is glowing.
All right, all right, all right.
Let's make it packed.
[MUSIC]
Right here, right now.
A pact, huh?
What kind of pact?
Let's say, if either
of us decide to cheat,
then whoever did the cheating must kill
their saint, Kealie.
No questions asked.
If we agree to work this out, it'll be
our pact that strengthens our bond.
Oh, so you mean like a blood pact?
Exactly, just you and me forever.
No third wills, no strays.
[MUSIC] Deal?
[MUSIC]
Deal.
Suggest the two of us.
Now you better make sure
you stick to that, Mr. West.
I will.
You just make sure you're not out here
sleeping around with me and
expecting to come back
with no consequences.
Now hold on now,
what makes you think that I
will be the first one to bend?
Time will tell.
I guess you're right.
[LAUGH]
[MUSIC]
[MUSIC]
You're good.
Okay.
[MUSIC]
I'm pretty good.
[PHONE RINGING]
Mike.
Hello, how are you?
Hey Kelly, Jason's been hurt.
Wait, what?
Yeah, it's really bad.
What happened, is he okay?
It's not good.
How bad is it?
It's very bad, you need to come.
Okay, okay, I'm on my way.
[MUSIC]
[MUSIC]
Careful.
[COUGH]
All right, okay, relax.
I'll be right back with
an ice pack for you, okay?
Okay.
[MUSIC]
[MUSIC]
All right, baby.
Here's your breakfast.
[MUSIC]
The doctor said this
is what you need to eat.
Okay, do you want at least
to drink some orange juice?
All right, okay, maybe.
[MUSIC]
[MUSIC]
Hey Jason.
You see?
I see.
You see?
I'm trying.
Good job.
That's progress.
Yeah.
Yeah, I see you.
(footsteps)
Jason, we need to talk.
I mean, look at these.
Water, lights, even the phone.
We're behind on everything.
I'm doing my best, but I need help.
My paycheck is just not cutting it.
Do what you need to do.
I'm already doing
everything, all by myself,
and I need your help.
What do you want from me?
Some fucking help would be not...
How, Kelly?
I'm broken.
But, like, I had a cut.
I'm practically numb from the waist down.
What kind of man am I now?
Cause I'm broken.
Into pieces.
And I'm broken.
Into pieces.
And I'm broken.
Into pieces.
And I'm broken.
Do you remember when we
used to talk all night
about any and everything?
Girls were the days.
But now, it feels like,
like you're slipping away from me, Jason.
I'm tired, Kelly.
I'm tired too, Jason.
I'm tired of feeling
alone in this marriage.
I miss you.
I miss us.
You're not even gonna say anything.
(upbeat music)
(upbeat music)
(mumbling)
(upbeat music)
Where's the body of us?
Yo, what's up, Gabe?
Yo.
Mike, you busy?
No, I'm just going to the room.
Look at me, I just need to talk.
You can breathe.
Yes, sir.
Give us the enemy trackers.
It's Kelly, man.
Something ain't right.
Enemy team is second.
She's barely home.
Between this hotel and this new job,
true beginning, Cleon.
I'm lucky if I...
Take her more than an hour in the day.
Yeah, man, not here.
Yes, bro.
Man, I get it.
We need the money.
Damn, man, look, these injuries ain't
gonna fix themselves.
And she normally helps
with stuff like that.
Now I'm waiting up every
night for her to come home.
Two beginnings.
Well, funny enough, I was
just there a few days ago.
For real?
Yeah, man, I had to
get some new work boots.
Talked to some bald head white dude.
Big name started with a.
M, something like that.
Yeah.
Marlin.
Supervisor or some shit.
She told me about him.
They seem kinda close, but.
Then again, he could've
just been showing me the ropes.
He just started there, right?
I can do some digging if you want.
Make sure your grill
ain't on no bullshit.
Nah, nah.
Nah, we good, man.
Let it go, it's cool.
All right, all right.
You change your mind,
just give me the word.
You can get my James mind on it.
Yeah, I hear you, man.
Let me call you back, man.
All right, take it easy.
Yeah.
(ominous music)
Okay, is it just me or does this system
have a mind of its own?
No, it's not, you see
the crack right here?
Yeah.
So if you hold it.
There it goes.
You see that?
Okay, let me try it.
Right there.
Oh, there you go.
Okay, let me get it out.
See, the one for you,
obviously you're pushing
random buttons all day.
They're definitely
trying to figure this out.
All right, you two,
I'm leaving you two here
to hold down the fort and do not hesitate
to ask each other
anything because teamwork
makes the dream work.
All right, I'll be back
in about an hour or two.
Okay, see you.
She did not just say
teamwork makes the dream work.
She did, I guess it's
part of the dream team now.
Yeah, okay, what's up?
How you doing?
Can we get a price check on this, please?
Of course.
Yeah, you got this, right?
Yeah, I'll take the money.
All right, I'm gonna go
grab the inventory sheet.
You need anything?
No, I think I'm good, thanks.
All right, I'll be back.
Okay, so, okay.
(dramatic music)
Hey, Kelly.
So I was wondering, what's your escape?
I feel like for me, I
have to go to the gym, right?
That's kinda like how
I get through the week.
What about for you?
Hmm, honestly, right now,
a night of peace and
quiet is my paradise.
(laughing) I hear you, I hear you,
peace and quiet could
truly be golden, you know.
Oh, look, we have a new customer.
Hey, Sonja, what's up?
What's happening?
How you been?
What you doing down here?
What's up, what's this?
I brought you your favorite drink.
I do, it looks familiar,
that invigorated
lemonade, man, I appreciate it.
Let me introduce you, this is Kelly.
Kelly, this is like a
sister to me, this is Sonja.
Hi, nice to meet you, Sonja.
Nice to meet you, Kelly.
Looks like I caught you at a good time.
Yeah, it was pretty slow.
Yeah.
Well, I'm gonna let you two catch up
and it was really
nice meeting you, Sonja.
It was nice meeting you too, Kelly.
All right, so what's up?
I know you didn't come
all the way down here
to bring me a drink.
Ah, you know, I'm just checking in.
I feel like I've been real busy lately
and we've drifted away
from our weekly calls.
But I miss you, bro, I
just wanna lay eyes on you,
make sure you're good.
Hey, thank you, I appreciate that.
Excuse me.
Yeah, what's up? Can we help please?
Okay, yeah, what you
looking at, what's in here?
Oh, how much for the...
Hey.
Hey.
So I was wondering, how's life going for
you outside of here?
I feel like we're
always talking about work.
True. Um, right now I'm just
trying to keep up with life.
You know, I just feel like sometimes it
can be a lot, especially with no help.
Yeah, I get that.
Life could be relentless at times,
especially with juggling so much.
Yeah. Thanks Marlon. I
appreciate it really.
Yeah, of course. Of course.
Hey, Kelly, I don't think I'd be able to
get through these shifts without you.
Well, you know what? I'm going to take
that as a compliment,
especially considering the tons of times
that I've saved you
from customer meltdown.
Oh boo hoo. Hey, you already know
teamwork makes the dream work.
You know, it feels good to laugh
sometimes. It's actually really nice.
It is. It is. It's nice when you have
someone you can laugh with, right?
I must agree.
Well, you ready to get back to it?
Let's do it.
(dramatic music)
Really, Jason? You've been here all day and
can you clean up this mess?
And the trash can is
right there, just trifling.
Oh, you're acting like a damn child.
What's wrong with you?
(dramatic music)
(knocking)
Hello?
Oh, so you're just not
gonna sing like that?
What the fuck?
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music)
Okay, Kelly, you can do this.
Your husband's been going through a lot.
It's been a lot of distance.
But maybe this can change some things.
So, here we go.
(door creaking)
Hey.
Jason, I was thinking maybe
we could just be close tonight.
I'm tired, Kelly.
My sciatica's acting up
and I barely feel anything
from the waist down.
Jason, it's not just about that.
I just miss us.
I miss feeling like I'm with my husband.
What do you want from me, Kelly?
I told you.
No.
I can't do this right now.
I just, I just wanted you to hold me.
(dramatic music)
Hey.
A rough night?
Yeah, you could say that.
Kelly, you don't have
to hide anything from me.
I can clearly see when
there's something bothering me.
Sometimes I just feel
like I'm invisible at home.
Like, my husband isn't even there.
He doesn't even acknowledge me.
I really feel like he's checked out.
Kelly, you deserve way better than that.
Don't ever let anybody make you feel less
than what you really are.
I can't, my husband.
Kelly, I got you.
I know you do.
I just, I just don't
wanna be alone anymore.
Oh, man.
(dramatic music)
Hey, Kelly.
Look.
Hey, look. Hey, look. Look.
I feel myself getting stronger.
I even took a walk
today without much pain.
That's good, Jason, keep it up.
(sighs)
(knocking)
So, wait, how was work?
We barely talked last night.
Right, it was long per usual,
but you know I gotta get to my
second job so I won't be late.
Yeah, but I figured you
might wanna watch me walk.
It's kinda important to me.
Well yeah, Jason,
you've been doing great.
I'm really proud.
Yeah, I hope.
(knocking)
Thanks, Kelly.
(knocking)
What the fuck is she
always rushing off to?
(phone beeps)
(knocking)
(knocking)
Oh, sorry.
(knocking)
(upbeat music)
(kissing)
(kissing)
(kissing)
I should get going.
I don't want Jason to start to wonder.
Hey, but, you know, I
hate to watch you go,
but damn girl, I love to watch you leave.
You sure you can't stay a little longer?
Mm, I really would, but it's too risky.
(kissing)
Kelly, what are you doing?
You know what?
He doesn't see me anyway.
Fuck it.
What's up, babe?
Hey.
So is he really going to believe that she
went to your other job?
Mm-hmm.
That's the truth.
Yeah. Let me check
out the mirror. I like him.
I do.
You look good.
Thank you.
I'm going to try and rest
my little belt a little bit.
No, you ain't trying.
You're doing shit.
You always got some new.
It's easy, how you look like you, shit.
Thank you. What's going on?
All right. You look like you, so.
Well, thank you.
So, I'll see you at work tomorrow.
I can't wait.
(door creaks)
(door creaks)
Would you forget something?
[laughs]
Erica?
Man, what the hell do you want?
It's been a while, man. I
just thought I'd step by.
See if I got caught
you at interest in time.
I mean, yeah, you could say that.
What the hell do you want, Erica?
I just want us to talk, just about us.
What about us?
I miss you and I still love you.
I'm not trying to hear that shit.
You've been gone for seven months.
Now you just want to show up out of
nowhere talking about you
love me and you still miss me?
I do. I still care about you.
So guess who showed up
at my place unannounced?
Let me guess, Erica.
Mm-hmm.
And how'd that go?
Honestly, confusing.
Seeing her after all this time, all I did
was bring back emotions and feelings I've
been trying to give up.
And I thought I was.
But it's like one look at her and I'm
right there all over again.
Marlon, you know I'm here
to listen, but be careful.
Erica has a way of re-impearing right
when you're ready to move forward.
It's like she knows, huh?
Mm-hmm.
You know, a part of me still wonders if
there's something worth holding onto.
I mean, Sonja, she was my everything.
I'm gonna be a part of
me still once with you.
You sound like you're unsure.
Look, you've got this
new job, a fresh start.
Isn't there anything exciting about that?
Yeah, actually, there's someone there.
No, not like that, not like that.
Okay.
But there is a spark.
And to be honest with you, I haven't felt
like this in a long time.
But Erica coming back, all that's done is
mess things up in confusion.
Listen, Marlon, don't
rush to cut ties with Erica.
But don't let her stop you
from living your life, either.
Keep talking to Erica if you need to, but
don't let her hold you back.
You deserve to move forward, even if it
feels a little messy.
Yeah, you're right.
I needed to hear that.
I appreciate you, Sonja.
You know I got your back, always.
Just take it one step at a time.
(ominous music)
Hey stranger.
What's up, Kayla?
Long time no see.
You okay?
You seem different today.
Just got a lot on my mind, honestly.
Nothing to worry about.
Well, maybe I can come over tonight
and help clear your head.
I think that helped a lot.
Okay, great.
I'll see you later.
I'll bring the wine.
All right, we'll see you later.
Here at the wine.
Thank you.
This is looking good.
I appreciate you.
(sniffles)
What is this?
I don't know.
Maybe just some shit that I
missed when I was cleaning.
(laughs) No, Marlon.
This isn't yours, obviously.
So who was here?
It's Erika's.
She came by the other day just to talk.
Just to talk?
(laughs)
And you didn't tell me because?
Because...
Because I'm still in love with her, okay?
Look, Kelly, I'm not trying to hurt you
or none of that shit,
but I don't know what
to do with all this.
Still in love with her, huh?
Wow.
It's a lot to take and I should go.
Hey, hey, hey.
Come on, we could just talk about this.
Talk about this.
You're in love with your ex-wife.
That's a big deal.
And Kelly, you're still married.
Okay, but you knew
that from the beginning.
I didn't just throw a bombshell on you
that I'm still in love with my ex-wife.
That's a big deal.
Hey, wait, come on.
Kelly, come on.
(sighs)
Fuck.
(eerie music)
(door opens)
Long night at work?
Jason didn't see you there.
But work was fine, yeah.
Fine, huh?
And here I am
thinking, work ended hours ago.
Oh, I ran a couple errands,
lost track of time, I guess.
Kelly, don't insult me.
I know exactly where you've been
and exactly who you've been with.
Look, I can explain.
(laughs)
Save it.
I don't need an explanation.
I've known about you and.
Lala for some time now.
Look, I never meant for
things to go this far.
I was just really, really lonely.
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely.
So that's what we're calling it now.
Yes, lonely.
I've been invisible to you for months.
I've been the only one
working day and night
to keep food on the
table and the damn light sign
while you sit on your ass and complain.
I come home, I cook for
you, I clean up behind you,
and most days, you
don't even speak to me.
I can't even remember
the last time you held me.
Now, I'm not gonna sit
here and act like what I did
was right because it's not.
But we've been
roommates for a long time now.
But I do wish things
could be like they once were.
(claps)
And the award goes to...
You remember that little joke
that we shared on our wedding night
about a blood pact?
Jason, it was just that.
A joke, we were drunk, being silly,
but didn't mean anything.
Didn't it?
Because I remember
saying that if either of us
broke out of the house,
then we would pay the price.
And you, you laughed,
saying to death do us part.
Funny how that stuck with me.
Jason, you're scaring me.
Good.
Because that means you're finally
starting to pay attention.
Remember, Kelly, some
things aren't just words.
And a pact?
Well,
well,
that's forever.
(heart beating)
Rough night?
Jason,
I've been thinking about us,
about everything really, and.
I wanna make this work.
I want us to work.
Then you know what has to happen, then.
If this is what it takes, then.
I'll do it, but I need you.
I can't do this by myself.
(sighs)
Come here.
I love you, Kelly.
Always have.
And I'll do anything to make this right.
To keep us whole.
(sighs)
And it's time for the pact.
So,
Marlin?
We'll make it look like an accident.
Clean, simple.
We do this, Kelly,
and no one comes between us again.
If this is what it takes, then.
I'm in.
Good.
We do this to keep us whole.
Together.
No one will ever know.
All right.
So here's how we're gonna do this.
I need you to get close to him.
So close that he never sees this coming.
Close?
You mean close enough where
he thinks everything is fine?
Exactly.
He already trusts you.
Look, I just need you to
lean into it a little more.
Make him think that
you're still into him.
Maybe even more now.
He'll never suspect a thing.
I don't know, Jason.
I just...
Look, look.
You can do this, Kelly.
We both can.
Think of it as a final goodbye.
A way to put an end to all this so that
we can get on with our lives.
We're doing this for us, remember?
But it just feels wrong.
I feel like I'm betraying
something deep inside me.
We're doing this for us, Kelly.
Look, you said you wanted to clean slate.
A way to rebuild everything that we lost.
Well, this is how you do it.
Get him to meet you in
a place that's isolated,
and I'll take care of the rest.
And are you sure that this is
gonna make everything right?
It's the only way.
Once he's gone, it's just us.
We'll be free to be
together without anyone between us.
Can you do this, Kelly?
Yes.
For us.
You just gonna keep on staring at me and
not say anything, or...?
Look, I just want to apologize for how I
reacted the other night.
And I just wasn't sure if you'd want to
talk to me again after that.
Of course I want to talk to you.
Kelly, I'm sorry for dropping that
bombshell on you the other day,
but the way that I did.
You have every right to
react the way you did.
Well, thank you for
being so understanding.
I missed you.
Oh, yeah.
So how are we gonna fix
this? What are we gonna do?
Well, maybe we can go
on a little date tonight.
All right. What'd you have in mind?
I don't know. Maybe a
little romantic walk in the park.
You sure you want to meet in public?
We'll be careful, but yeah.
All right. Didn't it settle?
Okay. Well, I will send you
the details of where I will be.
All right. I'm looking forward to it.
Me too.
Okay. We should get back to
work before someone sees us.
So what's the plan?
Uh, we're gonna meet at the park.
And?
And then have a romantic walk and talk.
Nah. Change of plans.
What do you mean?
You are gonna bring him here.
Bring him here? That's not gonna work.
He's gonna know you're here.
You're gonna call him in a panic.
Saying something happened to me and the
ambulance came and got me.
And then what?
Tell him you need him to come to you.
He's not gonna go for that.
Then make him.
Jason. Are you planning
to kill him in a home?
Yes.
Well, isn't it exciting? Look, you're
gonna have him in our bed.
Getting ready to fuck him.
And I'm just gonna pop out
from out of nowhere and...
Oh, the look on his
face is gonna be priceless.
That's sadistic, Jason.
It's genius.
This will make you remember the next time
you try to betray me.
Can we just not do this?
Can we just stick to the plan?
Call him.
Now!
Please, Jason.
Call him. Stick to my plan.
Bring him here. Seduce
him. Start fucking him!
And I'll take it from there.
[LAUGHTER]
I got...
Totally.
Man, man, this bipolar Vegas weather.
I don't know if this shit
is going to be hot or cold.
I know, but thank you for meeting me,
though, because I
didn't think you'd be okay.
You mean, Erica, you
know we have history.
I don't think I could
ignore you even if I wanted to.
I was just thinking about us
and just how everything ended.
That shit was messy, Erica.
And clearly, you made your choice.
I know, but it was the
biggest mistake of my life.
I spent months trying to
figure out how to fix things.
I hurt you.
I know I did.
I'm really sorry.
What is that?
It's just a friend.
You sure?
You're smiling like it's more than that.
Yeah, I'm serious.
It's just a friend.
Look, Erica, I
appreciate what you're saying.
I truly do.
But to be honest with
you, I've missed this, too.
But it's just not that simple, okay?
Time has passed and the
shit has just changed.
I know, but I believe that we can fix this.
I want to fix this.
I want us to try again.
All right.
Why don't you come by my place tonight
and we can talk a little bit more
and try to figure out
what the hell this means.
I mean, you know?
Yeah, I do.
Well, I'm going to see you tonight.
Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. All right.
You know, I miss this.
Just us hanging out, no pressure, no joy.
Yeah, it's nice.
This is real nice.
But we always have a good
time together, don't we?
You're right.
And speaking of that, I want to talk to
you about something.
Okay.
What's on your mind?
I know that you and Erica have history.
So if you want to explore
that, I won't stand in your way.
I know that you and I
have a really special, but.
I don't want to
complicate things for you.
Tell me what you like.
I mean it.
Look, we can still be close.
Still friends with them pics.
Just no strings.
No notifications.
You are full of surprises, you know that?
I mean, shit, I'm not going to lie.
I like the idea.
Keeps things simple.
Yeah.
And speaking of simple, Jason is going to
be out of town visiting
family for a few days.
So maybe you can head back to my place.
Kelly, I don't know about that one.
Don't you think it's questionable?
Well, it's happening.
It's scary.
I don't know.
Everything's fine.
We can make some great
memories and we can make it.
All right.
But only because you
promised dinner, all right?
Okay.
Every so far all these plastic, you
remodeling or something?
Uh, Jason's idea.
He was supposed to paint the place before
he left, but of course
didn't finish what he started.
So, um, I'm going to go slip into
something a little bit
more comfortable just for you.
Okay.
I'll be back.
Sounds good.
Jason.
Fuck, Kelly.
Go grab a bag to help
me clean this shit up.
We don't have time for this shit.
Go grab a damn bag.
Jason, what are we doing?
This is exactly us.
You knew what happened the
moment you let him in your life.
We made a promise, Kelly.
A pet.
Oh, hell no.
It feels so wrong.
Wrong.
Wrong is what he did to us.
Wrong is you betraying me,
but look, baby, we fixed it.
Together.
Look, we're stronger now, Kelly.
You and me.
No one can come between us.
No one.
Someone find out.
They won't.
Take the bags down to the desert.
I won't let them know.
Take the shit out of me.
Here, take the shit out
of me. It's fucking over.
It's over.
How are we moving forward?
Trust me.
Let's go.
Where is he?
I'm just calling.
Hey, Marlon. It's me.
I'm outside your place.
I was hoping that we could talk about us.
Just give me a call when
you get my message, okay?
Okay. Bye.
Erica, what are you doing here?
I was hoping that you
might have heard from Marlon.
He's not answering his phone.
Why are you looking for him?
Last I knew you two weren't
exactly on the best of terms.
We're trying to work things out.
I know that I heard him
before, but I'm serious this time.
I'm really trying to make things right.
And you're not here to mess
with his head again, are you?
Because let me tell you something. He's
finally in a good place,
and I'm not about to let you ruin that.
I swear, Sanya, my intentions are pure.
I care about Marlon.
I just want a second chance.
All right. Fine. I'll call him for you.
But if he doesn't want to
talk, that's it. Got it?
Okay, I understand.
[sighs]
Hey, Marlon. It's me.
Call me when you get this, okay?
Erica's looking for you, and I just
wanted to make sure you're okay.
He's probably sleeping, but I'll let you
know if I hear anything from him.
Okay. I really do
appreciate this, Sanya. Thank you.
Okay.
[knocking]
Marlon?
Marlon?
It's me.
[door creaks]
Marlon!
You here?
Marlon!
[sighs]
God.
Damn it, Marlon.
Where are you?
Huh, Jason, do you really think what we
did with Marlin's body was a good idea?
It was the only idea, Kel. We had to make
sure that it didn't lead back to us.
Cutting up the body, spreading the parts.
It would be years before they even
figured out who he is if they ever do.
Yeah, um, but what if
they find something, though?
Like DNA or maybe
some fibers or something?
Yeah.
You sure?
Hey, you're overthinking.
Okay.
What?
Okay, sure.
We were careful. I burned anything that
could lead back to us.
We're safe. Trust me.
Besides, I feel like a
new man after all that.
You know how my sciatica's
been killing me for months?
Yeah.
Poof. Gone.
Look, I feel like all that extra stress
relief rejuvenated me.
No more pain.
You're unbelievable.
So you mean to tell me that dismembering
his body cured your sciatica?
Look, I'm not saying I recommend it to
anyone, but I'm just saying.
I feel great.
Okay, something else.
Look, I just want all
of this to be behind us.
I just want us to be okay again.
We will be. It's all
behind us. It's just us.
No one will ever know.
Excuse me, are you the manager?
Yes, I am. How can I help you?
I'm looking for Marlin. He works here. I
haven't been able to reach him all week.
Has he been in?
Actually, no. He's been in
no call, no show all week.
And I'm actually about to fill out the
paperwork determining him.
This isn't like him at all. I've been to
his apartment. He hasn't been home.
I'm really starting to get worried.
Well, I mean, if you're that worried, I
think you should fill
out a police report.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
I'll go file a report. Thank you.
Of course, and let him
know if he has anything.
Excuse me, I'll be right.
Son, you're right.
Oh, hey, Kelly?
Hey, is everything okay?
No, not really. I've been looking for my
friend Marlin. He hasn't been to work or
home in days, and I'm
just worried about him.
I'm so sorry to hear about Marlin. He was
such a nice guy, but if I see or hear
anything, I will definitely let you know.
Okay, thank you, but how
would you hear anything?
Well, you know, if he calls
up here and shows up to work?
Right. Thanks. Hopefully we find out
what's going on soon.
Definitely. Well, you have a good day.
Thanks, you too.
So sorry about that.
Oh, hey, come in. Sit down.
I went ahead and filed the missing
person's report yesterday.
The police said they'd look over his
phone records, try to
figure out where he was last.
I just hope they find something soon.
I really appreciate you doing this,
Sonia. The last time I spoke to Marlin,
he said that everything was okay.
We even planted me at his apartment, but
when I got there, no one was home, and he
wasn't answering the door.
It's not like him to just disappear like
this. He wouldn't ghost you, especially
with the two of you working things out.
I know, and that was so scary. I just
keep thinking that
something happened, but...
I get it. I'm worried about him, too.
Marlin is one of the most dependable
people I know, and for him to just go off
the grid completely,
something's not right.
But I'm hoping,
praying, that we find him soon.
Me too. I really appreciate you just
meeting with me and keeping me in the
loop about everything. It
really means a lot to me.
Of course. We both care about Marlin.
I'll keep you updated if I
hear anything from the police.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Uh, Kelly?
Sonia! Hi, didn't see you there.
Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. I
was just trying to
catch you before you left.
Oh, yeah? So what's up?
It's about Marlin.
Marlin?
Yeah. I've been really worried about him.
He hasn't been answering his phone or
showing up to work, and I thought maybe
you might know something.
Oh, well, I wouldn't know. I really
wasn't close to him outside of work.
Well, what about another friend at work?
Someone he might confide in?
Well, Marlin was really friendly with
everyone, but I just never really got
into his personal life.
Well, maybe there was a customer. Someone
that came in more often to see him.
If it was, I would know. I'm usually too
busy with my own tasks to
keep track of his visitors.
I actually went to the police. Filed a
missing persons report.
They said they'd look into it.
Oh, wow. That's great. Yeah, that's
great. I'm sure they'll find him.
You know, I'm going to actually get going
because my husband Jason and I got to
take him to physical therapy, so we'll
see if we can talk more, but back there.
Of course. Have a good therapy session.
Thanks. See you later.
Hey, hey, hey, Kelly,
Kelly, what's wrong?
It's Sonya. She found me in the parking
lot of my job, and she started asking me
all type of questions about Marlin.
What kind of questions?
She questioned me about everything. If he
had someone special at work, there's a
customer that always came to see him. And
then she said she even
called the police. The police!
Calm down.
Look, I tried to hold it together, but
she just kept pushing. I just felt like
she could see straight
through me. What if...
Look, look, look. It's fine. The police
don't have anything. We made sure of it.
But what if they...
Look, they won't. You have got to trust
me. Sonya's just fishing. She doesn't
have anything. Come here.
Look, baby, baby. We're in this together.
We've come too far to fall apart now.
I just want this all to be over.
It will be. You'll see.
It's okay.
I'm gonna go shower.
No. No. No.
No!
You have to take the shit.
Well, what about another friend at work?
Someone who might be fighting?
Kelly! Kelly! Kelly! Look,
it's okay. It was just a dream.
No, no, no. It's never going to be okay.
It's over. Marlin's gone. It's just us.
I can't do this anymore, Jason. I can't
pretend like everything's okay. Sonya's
acting with questions. Maybe the police
are involved. We should just confess.
Confess. And throw away
everything that we built?
Look, I just can't do this, okay? The
guilt, the nightmares,
it's just eating me alive.
You look at me. If we confess, it's over.
Not just for me, not
just for you, but for us.
You want to ruin our lives? Our marriage?
Look, we can't undo what we did. But we
can't control what happens
next. You just have to trust me.
I just don't know if I can.
You can. You have to. You look exhausted.
Let's get some rest. We'll talk about it
more tomorrow. Come on.
Excuse me, Detective Harris?
That's me, and you are?
Sonya, Marlon's friend.
I filed the missing persons report.
Right.
What can I do for you?
Look, I know you probably think this is
just another case of
someone going off the grid,
but Marlon wouldn't just disappear.
You should talk to his coworkers.
One of them, Kelly, I
think she knows something.
Kelly?
Yes.
She's been acting very
strange since he disappeared.
Please, Detective.
Please, just talk to her.
All right.
I'll look into it.
[sigh]
Yeah, it's me.
I need you to pull out.
It's not Kelly.
Kelly West.
Yeah, she worked at two beginnings with
Marlon, the missing
person who has a similar desk.
Yeah, I know.
Just checking her box.
Some friend of this
thinks she's acting weird.
Oh, you met her.
Great.
You know how pointless this is.
Just shoot me whatever you think.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm
sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Come on, man.
Why did he pop some balloons for that?
I mean, and there's two balloons left.
Like, that dude don't.
I got it.
I got it.
Detective Harris,
looking into the Marlon case.
Mind if I come in?
Oh, yeah.
Come on, Marlon.
Have a seat right there.
So, how can we help you, Detective?
Miss Kelly, right?
Yes.
Sonja mentioned you worked with Marlon.
Uh, yeah.
Um, we used to work together.
Did you know anything unusual about him
before he disappeared?
Arguments, strange behavior?
No, Marlon pretty much kept to himself.
But he was quiet, very professional.
Uh, didn't really socialize outside of
work from what Kelly said.
So, you want to know if he
was having any personal issues?
Maybe someone he was seeing?
Honestly, Detective, um, Kelly's the type
to keep her head down at work, you know?
Focus on the job.
If Marlon had any problems, then she
wouldn't know about it.
All right.
Thanks for your time.
If you think anything, here's my card.
Yeah, thank you.
Uh, all right.
I'm gonna let you out.
[door opens]
Jason, this is bad!
Sonja is gonna keep digging.
She's never gonna stop
trying to figure this out.
Kelly?
Relax.
He doesn't have anything.
But what if she finds out something?
What if Sonja goes and just...
Then we deal with Sonja.
Wait.
What are you saying?
She's a problem, right?
Problems need solutions.
No, no, no.
We are not doing that.
Then stop panicking!
You want this whole thing to fall apart
because you can't keep it together?
Make her look.
I will take care of it.
Promise.
Okay, look, I need a drink. No, no.
[BLANKAUDIO]
Yo, what's up, man?
Yeah, I need a favor.
What's up, man?
You still in that James Bond shit?
[BLANKAUDIO]
You know it.
I need some information on that.
All right.
That dude ain't been to work in a minute.
How you know?
Shit, I need some
someone to get some boots.
I ain't been back like every week.
They got some good ass deals.
Yeah, I ain't talking
about the white boy.
I need some information on his friend.
Some lady named Sonya.
Sonya.
Sonya.
Is she blind?
Think so.
You know what?
If she got blind here, I definitely know
who you talking about.
I mean, she might.
Hold on, let me put you on speaker phone.
Cuz I think she been
popping up on my Facebook.
People I may know.
[BLANKAUDIO]
What have you been around here?
I told you, I be on my James Bond shit.
Plus I tried to holler at
her, but she be on some bullshit.
All right, I found it.
Good.
I need that.
All right, cool.
I'm gonna share a
profile over to you right now.
[BLANKAUDIO]
Got it.
Thank you.
All right, anytime.
Take it easy, brother.
[BLANKAUDIO]
Mm-hm.
[knocking]
Can I help you?
Uh, was hoping so.
Sonja, right?
Yes, I am, and you are?
I'm Jason. Kelly's husband.
Kelly's husband?
Yeah, she told me you
were worried about Marlon.
I am? Do you know something?
[chuckles]
[sighs]
I met Marlon once.
Seemed like a nice enough guy.
I had a little talk,
man to man, you know.
About what?
Dreams.
He said he wanted to move
to New York, start afresh.
New York? Marlon never
mentioned that to me.
I know, look, sometimes men need to talk
to other men, you know.
Maybe he didn't want to worry you.
Oh.
He also, uh...
He also might have left with someone.
With who?
Not sure.
It's just mention that he had met someone
that understood him
in ways that was good.
If that's true, then why
didn't Kelly say anything to me?
You know Kelly, she
didn't want to get involved.
She wanted to keep her nose clean, focus
on her job, but that's not me.
I figured you should know the truth.
This doesn't sound like Marlon to me.
New York's a big city. He had big dreams
and they have big opportunities.
Maybe he finally took the leap.
Hey.
If I hear anything, you
were the first to know.
Thanks.
See ya.
[birds chirping]
Always one step ahead.
I'm sorry.
Sanya, this is unexpected.
We need to talk about Marlene.
Sanya, I'm on my lunch break.
I know, I'm sorry. I
just can't let this go.
We've been through this.
There's no indication of foul plate.
Nothing points to Jason
and Kelly being involved.
You can't seriously believe that.
Kelly knows more than she's letting on.
I'm sure of it. Kelly, the married woman.
From everything I've seen
is exactly what she seems.
A devoted wife.
Women like her don't get
involved in things like this.
Oh, come on.
Married women cheat all the time.
That's enough, Sanya.
What? I'm just saying.
The case is closed.
There's no proof that Marlene didn't
leave with his own free will.
Maybe it's time you face the fact that
your friend doesn't want to be found.
You don't know Marlene like I do.
He wouldn't just leave.
Then maybe you don't know
him as well as you think.
You're making a huge mistake.
Hey. Hey.
So, you don't have to worry about Sanya.
You don't have to worry about Sanya.
I wouldn't talk to her.
You talked to her?
How did you find her?
They're at my ways.
She won't be a problem anymore.
What do you mean by that?
What did you say to her?
I told her what she needed to hear.
That Marlene probably ran off chasing
some dream to New York.
Even though that he
confided in me man to man.
And she believed you?
Let's just say she won't
be doing any more digging.
Jason, you didn't do
anything to her, did you?
Kelly, you have got to start trusting me.
Everything I do, I do for us.
What does he mean she's
not a problem anymore?
Did he hurt her?
No, he wouldn't. Would he?
You're overthinking again.
You've got to stop doing that.
You're letting your guilt run wild.
I can't help it.
I keep seeing his face.
What we did...
What we did was necessary.
If we hadn't have done
it, then where would we be?
You'd be locked away and I'd
be here to pick up the pieces.
An Elke.
It's over, an Elke.
No one understands
what we've been through.
It's just us.
Just us.
Oh, that's Morgan, our new employee. She
started a couple weeks ago.
She's cute.
Oh, okay. Um, look, I'll see you tonight
and don't forget I have a
doctor's appointment at me.
Uh, uh, um, you need me to pick you up?
No, it's actually around
the corner. I'll just walk.
Okay, cool. Uh, love you.
Hey, Morgan.
Hi, how are you?
Good morning.
Okay.
Oh, hi! Welcome to True.
Beginnings. How can I help you?
Uh, hey, I don't think
we've ever met. I'm Jason.
I'm Morgan. Nice to meet you.
Yeah.
I'm actually here waiting on a friend. I
thought I'd come in and say hi.
Hi.
Hi.
Wish we could be friends.
What makes you think you're
lucky enough to be my friend?
I mean, I like to
consider myself pretty lucky.
Please, you probably got
girls lined up and down the block.
Yeah, but, um, why spend the block on
what I want is right in front of me.
You know what? I hope I may interrupt and
I hate to take up too much of your time.
No, no, it's always
nice to meet someone new.
That's the case, um, I'd love to get to
know you outside of work.
I would like that. Let
me give you my number.
I'll give you a call then.
I'm looking forward to it.
Bye.
Yeah.
Alright, yeah, get back to work.
Yeah.
This could be fun.
I gotta say, it's been a whole month and
things are finally
starting to feel normal again.
Yeah.
It's like everything's going back to the
way it was before all this craziness.
I'm just happy that there's no one on our
back and we can finally breathe again.
Yeah.
Feels good, doesn't it?
I've missed this.
Just you and me.
No distractions.
Yeah.
We should do this more often, you know?
Spend time together.
No worries about anything.
I like the sound of that.
Just us.
Yeah.
I don't know what I would
have done without you, Jason.
I'm so glad we have each other.
You don't have to
worry about that, Kelly.
We end this together.
No one will come between us and I will
always be here for you, Kelly.
I love that.
We've come so far, you know?
Just glad everything is right again.
Yeah.
That's the way it's going to stay.
No one but you and us.
I believe you.
I believe you.
Morgan.
What the fuck?
Morning, babe.
Morning.
How was your workout?
It was great.
I got to head out to work early today.
We got some new employees,
so I got to do orientation.
Okay.
Sounds important.
You do great.
Thanks.
You take any of these?
Yeah. Yeah. I'm sorry. Yeah.
Oh, hey, hey, babe.
You're home early.
What's that?
You okay?
Where's your wedding ring?
Uh, you know, when I go to the gym, I
take it off, put it in the bag, I must
have forgot to put it all.
How convenient.
Morgan has to go.
Uh, babe, look.
Don't baby.
I don't care what it is, she has to go.
Fuck.
Watch your step.
Watch your step.
Do it.
Yeah.
Look.
Is everything okay?
Why is everything covered in plastic?
You're judging me.
Look at it.
Don't judge me.
We're painting.
Oh, painting.
Uh-oh.
You want some wine?
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay. Okay.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
Okay.
Can we put this down?
We won't, huh?
Yeah. Aye.
Aye.
Oi.
Oh, she stayed below me. U
spirit. I'm men. (Dramatic music)
