The Mail Lady 2 (2025) Movie Script
(intense music)
(car whooshing)
(car engine roaring)
(intense music)
(Derek screams)
No. No!
(gunshot booms)
- Renee!
[Nurse] He's back up.
[Doctor] Prepare for a
full trauma assessment.
We need to look for internal bleeding
and any signs of infection.
Where's my wife?
Let's get an ultrasound going
and set up IV antibiotics.
(Derek cries out)
Let's sedate him again.
Is anyone gonna talk to me?
Is my wife alive? Just tell me that!
Right now, we are focused
on saving your life.
[Nurse] (indistinct)
pushing one milligram setting.
You don't know if she's alive?
This is my fault, this
can't end like this.
You need to calm down.
We need to check you
for internal bleeding,
other serious threats.
Just tell me about my fucking wife!
Mr. Culver, I don't
know your wife's status.
The sooner you let us work,
the sooner we can find out, okay?
I can't sit here and let her die.
(nurse speaking indistinctly)
You're gonna be all right.
Come on, we gotta check this out.
Get a blood pressure cuff on this man.
(intense music)
I gotta know.
(machine beeping)
Okay, he's out, come on,
let's get him hooked up.
(intense music)
(groans) Motherfuck!
(intense music continues)
Mr. Culver?
How are you feeling?
Forget about me.
How's my wife?
You and your wife both
escaped death tonight,
but narrowly.
Your injury was nearly fatal,
inches from an artery.
We managed to control the
bleeding and get you stitched up.
You'll need some time to heal,
but you'll recover just fine.
What about Renee?
Mrs. Culver is stabilized, but
she is in a coma.
She lost a lot of blood and it
was touch and go for a while.
(intense pulsating music)
Try to rest, Derek.
You need your strength, too.
(grim music)
(Sloan grunting)
(shovel thudding)
(grim music)
Hi, Mr. Culver,
I'm Detective Meyers,
this is my partner, Detective Park.
Just wanna ask you a few questions
about what happened last night.
Tell me you found her.
Take it easy.
Just, uh...
Yeah, get up.
Please.
(Derek groans)
Take it easy.
Try to tell us what you can remember.
Her name is Sloan Redding.
She broke into my house.
She stabbed me right here.
She aimed a gun at my kids and my wife,
who's in the same hospital right now,
fighting for her life,
took a bullet for me.
We understand that
Sloan was your mail lady.
I mean, why all of a sudden
do you think she'd break
in home and do this?
This wasn't all of a sudden,
this has been building up for months.
She's a very sick and crazy woman.
She's been stalking me
so much.
She's obsessed with me.
Well, unfortunately, Ms.
Redding is still missing.
(Sloan grunting)
And we were able to set
up a large perimeter
so we can monitor all ways
in and out of the city.
Please, tell us in detail,
the best detail you can,
what we should be looking for.
What was she wearing?
Everything.
Red paint mixed with black and green.
Like an army devil?
Yes, that's it.
Her right eye is swollen.
My wife beat the shit out
of her with a bookend.
Yeah, they did mention
that there was a lot
of Ms. Redding's blood,
but there was no trace
of her ever leaving.
I mean, the car that's
registered in her name
was still parked outside.
No sign of her on any
neighboring security cameras
and no witnesses so far.
What are you implying?
We're not implying anything just yet.
Just given the evidence,
we have to explore all possibilities.
What evidence?
My wife is the one who called it in.
You ain't listened to the 911 tapes?
Not yet.
[Derek] Did you talk to my kids?
You got witnesses right there.
We did.
In fact, they corroborated
this bizarre account perfectly,
which is what we figured would
happen after we heard this.
(grim music)
Now while they were
investigating the crime scene,
this started playing in your living room.
[Grace] Mommy, no.
What did you do to her?
[Derek] Stop all that goddamn crying.
- Daddy.
- Look,
we gotta get our story straight.
Say it was the mail lady.
- What?
- Say she ran in here
looking psycho with red paint on her face.
She shot your mom and she stabbed me.
[Grace] Daddy, you stabbed yourself.
You told your kids to
say it was the mail lady.
[Derek] You gonna be
next if you don't do
what the fuck I just said.
Now who did this?
[Grace] The mail lady.
[Derek] And she came here
looking like a army devil,
right?
Right?
- Yes, like an army devil.
- And what else?
- With red paint on her face.
That's not me, that's a deep fake.
You gotta believe me.
[Park] Look, Mr. Culver,
if there's something you wanna tell us,
right now is the time,
because if we find a body,
there's no way we can
have sympathy for you-
You won't find her body.
You need to be out there
looking for her right now
before she get away.
- Okay.
Just relax.
If what you're saying is
true, she won't get far, okay?
We'll be in touch.
(grim music)
(tense music)
(vehicles rumbling)
(rain pattering)
(thunder rumbling softly)
(rain pattering)
(thunder rumbles softly)
(cars whooshing)
(machine beeping)
Renee, I'm so sorry.
(machine beeping)
(gentle music)
(knuckles rapping)
[Nurse] Mr. Culver?
Yes.
[Nurse] Um, your kids are here.
Would, would you like them to come in?
No, not right now.
They can't see her like this.
[Nurse] Okay.
I love you, okay?
(machine beeping)
(gentle music)
[Grace] Daddy!
Hey, my little brave ones.
(Derek groaning)
I missed y'all so much.
We missed you too.
Ah.
Hey, sis.
- Hey.
Thanks for taking care
of my little ones for me.
Of course, bro.
How, how's Mommy?
She's okay.
Y'all can't go see her yet,
but the doctors are...
They're doing a good job
of taking care of her.
What about that woman?
Did they, did they get her yet?
(grim music)
(tense music)
I should have seen it, Renee.
I should have done better.
I let that demon into our home.
Now you the one laying
there paying the price.
I should have talked to you
and told you I was unhappy,
and told you that I felt
like we were drifting away.
(grim music)
Instead, I kept it all
inside, let it build up.
Then she came along.
(tense music)
It needs to be perfect.
She seemed normal at first.
Then I realized
she was crazy.
She preyed on me.
(tense music)
Please God,
I know I don't deserve it,
but please, give her back to me.
You said the prayer offered in faith
will make a sick person well, right?
The Lord will raise them up.
If they have sinned, they
will be forgiven, right?
I'm holding on to that, Lord.
Please, Lord, I'm begging,
don't let this be the end.
(Sloan moans)
(tense music)
(Sloan exhales)
(machine beeping)
(tense music)
(soft twangy music)
(machine beeping)
(cellphone buzzing)
(grim music)
(phone messages buzzing)
(grim music)
(machine beeping)
[Zeke] Hey, baby, you okay?
I've been trying to call you all day.
You hear me?
(sighs) Listen, Renee,
I didn't mean for things to
get outta hand like that.
You didn't have to jump on a
first flight and run back home.
We don't have to tell him.
We can just keep doing it how we doing it?
Who the fuck is this?
[Zeke] Oh, shit.
(cellphone beeping)
(grim music)
(machine beeping)
(phone ringing)
[Operator] Your call has been forwarded
to an automated voice mess a-
(phone ringing)
Your call has been forwarded
to an automated voice messaging system.
(grim music)
(machine beeping)
I should have known
some shit wasn't right.
Five months?
Five months you go without touching me.
I should have knew then.
You know what?
Sloan was right.
It's your fault this shit happened.
You brought that demon into our house.
Now you paying the consequences for it.
Now look at you.
We said our vows on this book.
(Bible thudding)
Cold-hearted,
dirty-ass bitch.
You ain't nothing but a slut.
Ugh.
That was quite the speech, Derek.
Mr. Lenny, that's not
what it sounded like.
What is it then, huh?
What did you mean she
brought the demon in?
Calling her a slut
while she lays unconscious.
It's been so much going on right now.
I mean...
My ex-wife has been missing
and my daughter lies in a coma.
Mr. Lenny,
everything just got outta control.
The temptation, the loneliness.
What is this then, Derek?
Tell me!
She's been cheating on me!
I just found out.
Look at the text messages.
You
did this to her
because she cheated on you?
No, that's, that's not what I'm saying.
You son for bitch!
(tense music)
(both grunting)
(fist thudding)
You fucker!
I'll kill you right now, you motherfucker!
Sir! Sir!
Get off of me!
Help, (indistinct)!
Kill you, motherfucker!
(nurse screams)
(Lenny roaring)
Ease up, ease up!
I'll kill you, you bitch!
Bitch!
(grim music)
(soft tense music)
(Sloan sighs)
(soft tense music continues)
Hmm.
Hi, there.
I'm Carmen Culver, it's
so nice to meet you.
Oh, bless your heart.
(soft tense music)
Hi, I'm Carmen Culver.
It's so nice to meet you.
Oh, bless your heart.
Hmm.
Bless your heart.
(tense music)
Hmm.
(tense music continues)
God bless you.
(tense music continues)
Hmm.

(door thuds)
(Sloan exhaling shakily)
(object scraping)
(objects clacking)
(gun clicks)
(Sloan panting)
(tense music)
(bottles clinking)
[Burglar] What are we looking for again?
[Burglar] License.
It will tell us where she went.
[Burglar] What do you mean
it'll tell us where she went?
(Sloan panting)
[Burglar] Hey!
(soft tense music)
(intense music)
Shit, I don't have a line of sight.
I know you're there.
[Burglar] Negative. Negative.
And it's not worth your life.
[Burglar] Just wait for my cue.
Who sent you?
Dark DARPA?
The Pentagon?
Who?
[Burglar] It's like we are (indistinct).
Like they're not...
They're not who you think they are.
They set us up.
[Burglar] Can't see anything.
(gun clicks)
[Burglar] Alright, I'm going in.
(burglars whispering indistinctly)
It wasn't just an IED attack.
I was there.
(tense music)
Look, I don't wanna have to kill you.
(burglars whispering indistinctly)
[Burglar] She's making a making a move.
(intense music)
[Burglar] Go, down, down, down!
Get down!
(intense music)
[Burglar] Copy.
[Burglar] She's making her move.
[Burglar] Alright, I'm going in.
(burglars whispers indistinctly)
[Burglar] Take her down, down, down.
Fuck. Fuck!
Fuck.
We're going to focus
on calming down.
Okay?
(Sloan exhales)
When I listen to his heart,
I feel a lot more relaxed.
Okay.
I am okay right now.
(serene music)
I am not broken or over dramatic
for feeling this way.
Son of a bitch!
(intense music)
(knife squishes)
(Derek screams)
[Zeke] Hey baby, you okay?
I've been trying to call you all day.
Who the fuck is this?
(gunshot booms)
Renee!
(tense music)
Don't you die on me, baby.
Don't you die on me.
(Derek sighs)
(knuckles rapping)
[Park] Good morning, Mr. Culver.
Ooh.
Got you good, didn't he?
I'm not in the mood right now.
Okay, well, we'd like to
ask you a few more questions
if that's all right.
Yeah, so we spoke with Leonard Richards
and he mentioned some interesting
things he heard you say.
It's not what it sounded like.
Oh, your wife cheated on you, right?
Yeah, I just found out.
Oh, he just found out.
I mean, of course he did.
That makes sense.
I'm not lying.
I plugged her phone in
and I saw the message
from her little boyfriend.
He seemed concerned.
When I called the number back,
he answered and said, "Hey, baby."
If it was just last
night, you do realize
that's gonna be really
hard to sell, right?
Yeah, but it's the truth.
Have y'all found any trace on Sloan yet?
No, zero trace.
You really think I did this, huh?
You really think I would hurt my wife,
my mother-in-law,
even stabbed myself?
This is all because of Sloan, man.
She's insane.
Have you seen her military records?
PTSD?
Tours in Iraq?
She's crazy.
And it's obvious.
We're here looking for the truth, okay?
As far as Sloan is concerned,
we did issue a subpoena.
Now, as far as getting access
to psychological and medical records,
it's gonna take a little
longer than a few days.
What about ballistics?
She got guns in her name.
I even filed a complaint with her job.
I'm sorry, I just, I can't
wrap my head around this.
You really let another
man screw your wife?
What the fuck did you say?
- Meyers.
- No, I mean, no disrespect.
Oh, that's disrespect.
The betrayal of it all,
not just for you, but for the kids.
I mean, this woman worked
for Premieve Liquor,
in brand partnerships.
Have you seen her Instagram?
I mean, she's flying to
all the luxury events,
what, two weeks at a time?
Meyers.
Pool parties,
sky boxes at the basketball games-
- Meyers.
- Nightclubs in the VIP.
(scoffs) I mean, she's
living the high life.
- Meyers.
- While you're at home
with the kids, she's
off, what, getting nailed
by some hot shot CEO?
Or better yet, maybe it was a pro athlete,
yeah, that she brought
back to her hotel room
so she could live out her fantasies.
And then when that's
all said and done, what?
She gotta come home to you,
the boring math boy?
You couldn't let that slide,
could you, Dr. Culver?
(tense music)
You had enough, didn't you?
I don't have nothing to say to you.
Oh, no, I think you got a lot to say.
But you were smart.
Yeah, you figured it out.
You used that PhD brain of yours
and you calculated the perfect murder.
I mean, so good that you were even able
to lure in the vulnerable
young mail lady as your alibi.
I gotta give it to you, you almost had me,
but you slipped up.
Right?
Yeah, you fucked up.
You couldn't take it
any longer, could you?
You're wrong.
No, I'm right.
I mean, just admit it.
Come on, Culver.
She betrayed you.
I mean, she spit in the
face of your kids, to you.
How many guys did she fuck
'cause you couldn't satisfy her?
Right?
She was never home,
never with the kids,
left you alone,
left you to be the
little man that you are.
You're nothing.
You are nothing to her.
Meyers.
- Come on, admit it!
- Meyers.
Fine.
Just know that we filed
the necessary paperwork
and can't see your wife
unless it's supervised.
- Supervised?
- Yeah.
What the fuck are you talking about?
That's my wife.
Oh, it's your wife now.
It had to be done, okay?
For her protection and for yours.
Given the circumstances
we had to play it safe.
No, this shit not gonna fly.
Y'all gonna be hearing from my lawyer.
(Meyers chuckles)
Detectives,
y'all can see your way out the door.
Why the fuck y'all still standing here?
Get the fuck out.
Now!
There he is.
Oh, no, don't look away now.
Now that's the Dr. Culver
I've been waiting to meet.
I'm gonna nail you to the cross.
Let's get outta here.
(door latch clicking)
(door slams)
In a shocking turn of events,
Dr. Derek Culver has become
the main person of interest
in an ongoing investigation.
Authorities are now
considering Sloan Redding
to be deceased.
US Army Veterans Sloan Redding
was born in Topeka, Kansas.
She took up after her
father, Billy Redding,
who was an army helicopter pilot.
Billy Redding, who joined
the army after 9/11,
was eventually killed
during a dangerous mission
searching for weapons of mass
destruction in March 2003.
"Weapons of mass destruction."
Sloan Redding was an elite soldier
during her time in service.
Joining at the age of 18,
she became a combat engineer
and served two successful
tours in Iraq on elite units.
Successful.
Her military career ended
with a general discharge
following an undisclosed incident
under review by military authorities.
Whistleblower.
Yeah.
- Search teams
are looking for both bodies,
but so far no new evidence has been found.
[News Co-Anchor] Wow, thanks
for that update, Carolyn.
After the break, (phone ringing)
We have your weather report and sports.
Stay tuned.
[TV Announcer Are made for This.
(phone ringing)
Made for the calling only warriors can an-
(phone continues ringing)
[Jamie] I know you're there.
Sloan?
How did you get this number?
[Jamie] You know how.
I knew you weren't dead.
Just busy destroying families as usual.
Well, I learned from the best.
[Jamie] Where are you?
Why?
So you can blow the whistle on me?
[Jamie] No, so I can pay you a visit.
You need help and you know it.
That's why you answered the phone.
I don't need your fucking help,
I never have, and I never fucking will!
Fuck!
Ugh.
(object thuds)
(man coughs)
(tense music)
(object thuds)
(tense music)
(gun clicking)
(helicopter rotors whirring)
Fuck!
(solemn music)
(door creaks)
Who's
there?
(solemn music)
(helicopter rotors whirring)
Well, I come from a small town
and a small devout Christian family.
Beauty and faith have always
been so central in my life.
Okay.
(gentle music)
Thank you, Lord.
(serene music)
Johnson?
What are you doing here?
You belong
there.
(serene music)
(soaring music)
Perfect.
Perfect.
Oh.
Okay, Solomon, not perfect.
(Sloan sighs)
(serene music)
Hm.
(serene music continues)
(dark music)
(knuckles rapping)
[Nurse] Sorry to
startle you, Dr. Culver.
You have a delivery.
(serene music)
(envelope rustling)
(tense music)
[Sloan] Take control
of the wheel, captain.
Steer your way to me.
I miss you already.
(solemn music)
[Park] So why does she call you captain?
When I first logged
onto her ASMR live stream,
the username I created was Captain Culver.
And she been calling me that ever since.
So you're saying she's
out there somewhere.
She's waiting
and she wants you there with her?
Yeah.
It's funny because
the very last thing she said to me was,
"Come with me."
Derek, uh,
managed to get my hand
on your wife's 911 call.
Came back inconclusive.
Sorry for the bad news, but...
How?
[Operator] 911, what's your emergency?
[Renee] We're being attacked.
Please, send help now.
[Operator] Ma'am, can
I have your location?
[Renee] Yes, 24553 Kent Street.
[Grace] Mommy!
[Operator] Ma'am.
Ma'am?
(tense music)
(Renee crying)
- Mommy, Mommy.
Stop it! No!
(Derek speaking indistinctly)
(Renee and Grace crying)
(Derek speaking indistinctly)
(family chattering and crying)
(tense music)
Do you think that Derek
Culver is innocent or guilty?
He's innocent of shooting his wife,
but guilty of being a
snow bunny loving coon.
Innocent of shooting
his cocoa butter queen,
guilty of being a snow bunny loving coon.
Innocent of shooting
his melanated, educated,
cocoa butter queen,
but guilty of being a snow
bunny hopping, flat, pale,
uncooked to the bun cheeks loving coon.
They are saying that this
brother killed the mail lady,
shot his wife and stabbed
himself to cover it up.
Ain't no brother I know stabbing himself
to cover up nothing.
Ain't no brother I know stabbing himself
to cover up nothing.
That is European behavior.
That is clan man behavior.
I'll tell you what happened.
This King Kong looking brother
smashed the mail lady's cookies
and now she is going cuckoo for King Kong.
Cuckoo for King Kong.
And she's the one who shot his educated,
melanated, cocoa butter queen.
And he doesn't need to go to jail.
He's already going through hell
because he messed with a
military grade snow devil.
Now, my Lord have mercy.
We ought to be praying for this man.
(serene music)
- Hi.
- Thank you very much.
Thank you.
(serene music continues)
Hi.
Here you go.
- Thank you.
Have a good one.
(serene music)
Hi.
(serene music continues)
(Sloan coughing and retching)
(Sloan sniffles)
Oh, come on.
(pulsating music)
Oh, my God.
(pulsating music continues)
(pulsating music continues)
[Sandra] Well, hi, you must be Carmen.
[Sloan] Yeah, that's me.
Well, welcome, I'm Sandra.
I'm one of the midwives here.
You have come at the perfect time.
Our community is all
about natural childbirth,
connecting with our faith,
and supporting each other.
- Well...
- Come on.
That sounds just wonderful.
You know, it's real nice meeting mothers
who are going through the same thing.
Of course.
And on mornings like today,
we do yoga to connect with
the body and the babies.
- Wow.
- And in the evenings,
most evenings we have prayer groups.
Those are really special.
They help us connect to our spirituality.
As a matter of fact,
Mary's pretty new here.
Mary, this is Carmen.
- Hi.
- She can tell you
about the prayer meetings.
- Hi.
Nice to meet you.
Yeah, please, tell me more
about these prayer meetings.
That sounds absolutely perfect.
Faith has been such a big part of my life
during a time like this.
Yeah, oh, well, well,
it helps, you know,
and the support and the prayers.
It's like a second family.
Even the fathers get involved sometimes.
Well, that must be so nice
having such a supportive community.
Especially when you have
your partner by your side.
[Mary] Yeah.
Mine, uh,
he's deployed away in the Middle East.
[Mary] Oh, wow.
Yeah.
You know, my, my husband, Abe,
tries to come as much as he can.
And he's been so involved
with everything, you know,
reading up on things
and helping me prepare.
Sometimes I think he's more nervous
about the birth than I am.
Well, you must really be lucky
to have a guy like that by your side.
To be honest with you guys,
it's been real tough doing this by myself.
But we lean on our faith
and he checks in on me as soon as he can.
And I'm gonna see him real
soon, so it's gonna be fine.
We're, we're, we're gonna be fine.
Don't you worry.
- Right.
- You're here now.
And this place is all about community.
So, I really wanna avoid
traditional medical centers
as much as possible.
I really wanna do things naturally.
Well, don't you worry about that.
Once we're done with you,
you'll practically be a midwife.
(machine beeping)
(knuckles rapping)
- Hey, sis.
- Hey. (Chuckles)
Ooh, you gonna miss this place?
- Oh, yeah.
- The fine dining?
The Egyptian cotton sheets?
Yeah, I'll be, uh, making sure
I'm booking my next vacation here.
(laughs) That's hilarious.
[Derek] How's my new place coming along?
Oh, your palace awaits.
The kids' stuff is already moved in.
[Derek] Perfect.
[Monica] So how long do you
think you can go unemployed?
Uh...
For a little while.
- Mm-hmm.
You know, me, uh, renting
out that place over there,
it's very costly.
But I'm about to go sell the old place,
so that puts me in a
good financial situation.
Soon?
Soon.
It's just too many bad memories.
- Yeah.
- I don't need that.
The kids don't need it.
Yeah.
Sis, thank you so much
for doing what you do for us.
- Stop.
- You picking the kids up,
you being there for me and Renee.
It's been tough.
[Monica] I know.
I'll do anything for you.
Thank you so much.
[Monica] I'm not gonna
be walking around with you
and that cane.
You look like an old man.
- Never that.
- One day.
I'm still a, a young spring
chicken over here, you know?
Man.
How's it been talking to her?
It's been tough.
Hmm.
You thought about what you
gonna do when she wakes up?
Sis, I don't know.
Still trying to figure that out.
Well, you still love her, right?
I do, but I just don't know
if she still loves me the same.
We just been going through a lot.
- Yeah.
- It's been so much going on.
(gentle music)
It'll get better.
Trust me, Derek, it will get better.
Hopefully so.
You know you stronger than you think.
No, that's your title.
You're the strong one.
- Oh, no.
Not at all.
Not at all.
Oh, man.
Ooh, you hungry?
- Yes.
- Okay,
let's get something to eat.
I could eat a horse.
And I'm not cooking.
Without the tail.
Just don't make none of them chilies.
[Monica] Oh, my God. (Laughing)
Are you crazy?
That was funny four years ago.
[Mary] A-and she said
that raspberry leaf tea
is supposed to help tone
your uterus for labor.
Have you tried it?
No, but I have heard really good things.
Yeah, have you been having
any weird cravings lately?
Pickles and ice cream.
I swear it's really the
strangest combination.
Oh, no, that's classic.
I've really been into
the Mexican food lately.
Oh, my husband's been having
a hard time keeping up.
Well, is, is this your first?
Yep.
- Aw.
- A little boy.
Oh, we're so excited.
Oh.
Well, congratulations.
This is, this is my first, too.
Our little ones will be friends.
Oh, yeah, it's gonna be so fun.
It's exciting.
- I know.
- Hey.
Babe?
Come on.
- Oh.
There's Abe.
I-I'll see you next time.
Yeah?
Bye.
(tense music)
(bird squawking)
(light switch clicks)
(tense music)
(pickle crunching)
Hm.
(pickle crunching)
Hmm.
My husband is so caring,
I think he's more nervous than me.
He's having a real hard time keeping up.
Okay, okay, look at this man.
Settled in his new spot.
Yes.
Bare bones right now,
but it's gonna have to do.
What you got from me, brother?
Man, what you got from me?
What's the latest with the detectives?
Man, they too busy watching me.
They're still waiting on
requests from the courts
for her records.
It's been like six weeks already.
Man, local detectives are
not ready for the 21st century.
With 20 bucks on the dark web,
we can have all her
information in seconds.
No country for old men.
I've been monitoring the
Reddit and Telegram chats.
They were on fire talking about your case
when it first happened.
Had some leads,
people posting sightings of her,
but none of them were her.
She's gone dark.
I don't see how, man.
I don't see how she got out the whole town
and dodged every camera in the city.
And they said her car still
was parked at my old place.
She must have had a
getaway car or something.
- Hmm.
- Speaking of that,
can you still tap into the ring cameras?
Oh, I don't think I can
make that happen, captain.
Come on with the captain shit, man.
Oh, that's right.
Sorry.
So I was on my way to
the house the other day
and I stopped by the, the old spot.
She sent me this key chain, this anchor,
with a message on it that says,
"Anchor up here and join me."
Fucking crazy bitch.
Crazy as shit, man.
Hey, so she, she wants you to find her.
Wow, and you didn't
take that to the police?
Hell no, man.
Not with everything that
happened with Mr. Lenny.
They think I got motive or something.
So my only option now was
to just to find it myself.
Fuck, man.
Well,
I can try to hack into some
ring and traffic cameras
and see what we find.
- Cool.
- I need to know
the exact time she left your place
and I'll pull up everything I can.
- Okay.
- We're gonna find her, bro.
We're gonna set you free.
Hopefully so, man, it's,
it's been a wild time, brother.
(bus engine roaring)
(cars whooshing)
(tense music)
(knuckles rapping)
(door latch clicking)
Hi there, I just need you
to sign this real quick.
Package that needs a signature?
That's unusual.
Yeah, you know, I, I thought so too.
Did you not get rush delivery?
No. No.
Wait, do I know you from somewhere?
The Nurtures Nest.
Oh, you're Mary's partner, Abe, right?
- Yeah.
- Oh.
Th-that's me.
I thought you look familiar.
Don't tell me, it's, um...
Cameron.
Cameron, right?
That's close, it's Carmen.
I knew it. Carmen, Carmen.
I, I didn't know you were a mail lady.
Yeah. Yeah.
I work UPS.
No kidding.
See now, you gotta get
me a job over there.
I heard the benefits are way better
and well, by the looks of it,
I'm going to need all the
healthcare that I can get.
Yeah, well, they do
treat us well over there.
Can't lie.
Well, okay.
- It's, it's so amazing,
isn't it?
The whole pregnancy thing.
Having this little life
growing inside of you,
it's, it's a miracle.
It's kind of mind-blowing.
Just cooking up a whole
new person in there.
A whole new life.
Oh.
Oh, you feel it?
- Oh.
- Oh, he's-
Kicking up a storm.
(laughs) Well, I guess the little one
just wanted to say hello to you.
That's amazing.
Yeah.
(tense music)
Well, thank you.
Thank, thank you.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, of course.
Well, I, I better get going.
I got a lot of houses to hit.
Um, but I hope you have a great day
and I'll see you around, Abe.
- You too, ma'am.
- Yeah.
(tense music)
Hm.
(tense music continues)
Tell me what you think about this.
Ring cameras were tough to hack,
right?
- Mm-hmm.
But I became a member
of your neighborhood
and I found what I could of that night.
This car was leaving about six minutes
after she left your place,
going about 50 miles per
hour in the residential.
- Hmm.
- And someone complained
about it and posted this.
Then what?
So I follow this car as best as I can
through traffic cameras
and eventually, the last
place I can track it to
is here in the Westend
going 90 miles per hour.
[Derek] Did you get a license plate?
[Amir] Can't make it out.
(tense music)
What the f...
(handcuffs clacking)
(door creaking)
Hi, captain.
Sloan.
What you doing?
I've missed you so much, baby.
Where'd you come in? (Panting)
(tense music)
Let me show you how much.
(tense music continues)
No, please.
Sloan.
Oh, I can see that you've missed me too.
You don't want me to stop.
You wanna know why?
Because you would've already
woken yourself up. (Chuckles)
(tense music)
No, stop. (Indistinct)
(Sloan moaning)
(tense music)
(Sloan moaning)
(Derek moaning)
(Sloan slurping)
(dramatic music)
What the f...
(thunder rumbles)
(birds chirping)
Alright, mamas.
Time to breathe.
First, we're gonna take some deep breaths
in through the nose
and out through the mouth.
(Sandra exhales deeply)
In (inhales deeply)
And out. (Exhales deeply)
That's it.
Now, for when things get real active,
we're gonna take the hee-hee-hoo breath.
Hee-hee-hoo.
Do it with me, y'all.
[All] Hee-hee-hoo.
Hee-hee-hoo.
Hee-hee-hoo.
You feel that downward energy
'cause you are really gonna
wanna get that sucker out.
[All] Hee-hee-hoo.
[Mary] How's everything been at home?
You know, with your partner
being gone and everything?
It's been tough.
Did you know it can actually
increase the chances of
having a miscarriage?
- Oh, my.
- Yeah.
Have you ever had one before?
A miscarriage?
Oh, oh, I'm so sorry,
I didn't mean to pry.
What did you think about
the breathing exercises?
No, no, it, it's fine.
Don't worry about it.
No, I haven't, but
my mom...
I was an only child and my
father was always away overseas
and they tried real hard,
but it,
it never happened.
Well, no one should have to
go through pregnancy alone.
Okay?
- Yeah.
[Mary] You can come over to
hang with me anytime, okay?
- Well, thank you.
- Yeah.
Okay, now it's my turn
for a little personal question for you.
You and Abe.
So is it true that you and Abe
haven't done anything in
what, five months now?
You mean...
Oh, no.
No, I mean, look at me, I feel gross.
Well, some men don't mind.
And plus, there, there are other ways.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
I've never gone down on him before.
No, no, we don't, we don't, we
don't do that kind of stuff.
We, we keep it simple.
Yeah.
Oh, Mary, don't tell
me he was your first?
Well, yeah.
We were each other's firsts.
I mean, we met in church
and, and we were young.
You know, Abe actually loves
the whole purity thing.
- Is that so?
- Yeah. Yeah.
I don't even think he'd
like it if I tried.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Well, Derek and I are real,
real intimate when he's home.
Well, when will he be back?
Soon, I hope.
- Oh, yeah.
- Hm?
His mission is supposed
to be over before I'm due.
You know, I used to get really mad at him
for not being here,
but I really think that
this whole pregnancy thing
is starting to change me.
Oh, I get that.
No,
I've hurt
some people.
Mary, I've, I've done some things.
Oh, hush.
Well, every saints a sinner.
I, I'm sure it's not that bad.
Yeah.
Maybe you're right.
It's just now that I have this little life
growing inside of me, I...
I think I've may have taken
things too far in the past.
I'm starting to really
understand those mothers
that will do anything for their child
like jump in front of a bullet for them.
And it makes me really think
about what kind of monster
would try and take away something
so pure from someone, you know?
Yeah.
Well, that, that sounds like a person
that needs to get closer to God
before they burn in hell.
Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
You're right.
So you can't find the car
from that night or the next day?
No.
So she's camped out
somewhere on the Westend?
The Greyhound station
is over there, right?
[Amir] Hm.
We need her face
showing that she's alive
while I'm on my way to the hospital.
Hopefully we get a match in the city.
If not, we need to know how
many buses went out that night,
let's say within six hours?
Um...
Says here 12 buses.
How many cities?
I mean, each bus has
10 to 12 stops a piece.
So 12 buses, 12 stops each.
How long would it take
for you to get the footage
for all the stations?
That's hours worth of footage.
We don't have enough time
to look through all that.
I can build a AI facial
recognition program
to identify the faces.
I'll over-index it to give
a lot of false positives.
Then we can just take care of that
and just figure out
the matches from there.
How, how long would that take?
It could take a few days to
get everything up and running.
Then we gotta wait for a hit,
and I gotta run it offline
to avoid detection.
You know, my local computer's pretty low.
How long would it take for you
to scrape up all the testing data?
I'm not sure.
Some of these are easier than others.
Let's try the one downtown first.
I can find a way into
those old ass systems.
Okay.
Cool. Let's get it.
Let's get it.
(tense music)
(Sloan sobbing)
I love you.
(tense music)
I love you.
[News Anchor] An update
on the mail lady case
out of Oak Park.
- I know you bought this.
- Audio was leaked
that appears to show
disgraced Dr. Derek Culver-
- These stupid punks.
- Telling his wife
to say it was the mail lady.
They're trying to ruin my life.
(doorbell rings)
(door creaks)
(grim music)
(door thudding)
(tense music)
(paper rustling)
(tense music)
[Sloan] I found you again, captain.
I can still feel you inside of me.
The way you looked at me,
grabbed me,
stretched me,
and exploded so deeply inside of me.
I knew then just how
much you truly love me.
Join me before it's too late.
Those detectives will never believe you.
And those doctors will never save Renee.
Maybe I'll just have to
come visit you and the kids
in your beautiful new home.
P.S. Grandma left you little
a parting gift in the box.
(soft tense music)
(paper rustling)
(dramatic music)
- Oh!
She fucking found me, man.
No, man. How?
Fuck if I know.
She sent me a package with
a no return address on it
with a finger in it.
Holy shit. Whose finger?
Renee's mom.
And she knew I can't go to the detectives.
Hmm.
What'd you do with it?
I froze it.
Shit.
Still nothing from our AI system.
She must have covered her face,
'cause her wounds from that
night was terrible, man.
Or maybe she didn't leave.
She did mention in the letters,
"every captain needs his vessel"
and she left hers behind.
Maybe she left something
in the getaway car
that leads me to her.
Hmm.
Well, there's only so many
places to hide over there.
(tense music)
Hey, Abe.
I see you're taking care of business.
Hey, Carmen.
You wouldn't believe,
all of our outside lights
went out on the same night.
Oh. Huh.
Well, maybe it's a sign.
Hm. Maybe so.
[Sloan] Mm.
Anyway, how are you
and, uh, the little one?
Good. Good.
Can't believe it's
already been five months.
Time is really flying by.
- Five months?
- Yeah.
You can barely tell.
Oh.
Well, I just love watching
a strong man work. (Laughs)
Yeah, um...
Lemme just leave the mail in a box
and I'll pick it up later?
Well, alrighty then.
(Sloan sighs audibly)
Hm.
(Sloan sighs)
Ow.
Ow.
(grunts) Oh, I'm getting a cramp.
- Hey.
- Oh.
Ow, Abe.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Are you okay?
- Oh.
Ow, I think I need to sit down, Abe.
Okay, come on.
Let's get you some water.
- Okay.
- Come, come inside.
- Oh, thank you.
- That's what you need.
Get you some water.
- Oh.
Oh, thank you.
It's okay?
Yeah, it just really hurts.
Get inside.
Okay.
(tense music)
J-J-Just breathe, Carmen.
Be right back.
(Sloan panting)
(Sloan groaning)
(Sloan panting)
Breathe.
(Sloan exhaling)
Breathe.
(Sloan panting)
- Ow.
- Breathe.
Breathe.
Am I, am I doing it right?
Almost.
In. In.
Out.
In.
In.
(Sloan moaning)
Out.
Like this?
Yes.
(tense music)
Just like that.
(tense music continues)
(phone ringing)
Hello, Mom.
Everything's fine.
Yes, I, I will be over later.
I, just doing some chores outside.
I gotta call you back.
I gotta go.
Do, do you need some more water?
No, no, it's fine.
I think it's passing.
Okay, uh...
Oh, yeah.
Back to the...
Back to the lights
I go.
Oh.
Those cramps
can be something else, huh?
- Yeah.
You've put up with way too
much for too long, haven't you?
Bye.
(door creaking)
(grim music)
(tense music)
I'll just have to come visit you.
(dramatic music)
No!
(gunshot booms)
[Caden] Get off. Get off of me.
Daddy. Stop.
Let go of me.
(intense music)
Get off!
Wake up, Caden, here's Daddy!
I was having a nightmare
and he was too.
- Stop!
Come, Denny, wake up.
Come on, it was a nightmare.
- Son.
- Wake up.
Son.
Son, wake up, wake up.
- Wake up!
You're having a dream.
You alright?
- Yes.
Here.
Y'all come here and sleep with me.
(door creaking)
(door thuds)
(grim music)
(pickles crunching)
(tense music)
[Sloan] Am I doing it right like this?
[Abe] Just like that.
(tense music)
[Sloan] So you want me to do the thing
she won't for you, huh?
You want me to put it in my mouth for you?
[Abe] Yeah, just like that.
[Sloan] Am I doing it right like this?
(Sloan exhales)
(Sloan moans)
- [Abe] Yes.
(tense music)
No!
(gunshot booms)
(solemn music)
(Renee cries)
(solemn music)
(Renee cries)
(solemn music)
(Renee cries)
(Sloan screams)
(glass shattering)
(tense music)
(Derek grunts)
[Sloan] I have delivery.
[Abe] Sure, come on in.
Oh, (indistinct).
(Sloan panting)
(Sloan speaking indistinctly)
[Sloan] I feel so fucking good.
Oh, my God.
(Sloan moaning)
(tense music)
(phone ringing)
What the fuck are you doing here?
(Derek grunts)
(knuckles rapping)
(door latch clicks)
Hello?
Hello, I'm Jill Jones with
Child Protective Services.
- Mm-hmm.
- Here's some paperwork
for your review.
What is this?
Derek,
let's not make this
harder than it has to be.
Caden told me about the gun
incident the other night.
You brought a gun to their room!
For the kids' sake,
we can do this the easy way
or the hard one.
But why this?
You couldn't call before
you came over here, Lenny.
You know all the stuff the
kids' been going through lately.
You're a disgrace, degenerate,
murdering son of a bitch, aren't ya?
Dad?
What's going on?
Baby, um...
You gonna be staying with
your granddad for a while?
Go upstairs and pack your bag, please.
But why are there people with him?
Are they taking us?
Why don't they believe us?
I don't know why they're
doing this, sweetheart.
But you'll be okay, I promise, okay?
- But I don't wanna go.
- I know.
Please, don't let them take us, Daddy.
I know. I know.
Listen, as long as you're safe, okay?
And that's what's most
important right now.
I love you so much, baby, all right?
I need you to be brave
until I figure all this
stuff out, alright?
Okay, Daddy.
(pensive music)
You see what you're doing to us, man?
Why would you do this right now?
I cannot wait
until they lock your ass up
under the jail.
(pensive music)
Bye, Daddy.
(pensive music continues)
(door creaking)
(fist thudding)
(solemn music)
Bro, I'm so exhausted, man.
I matched everybody back from the footage
that we had got back
to their real identity,
except three people,
including a Black lady
that got off back at Arlington.
Damn.
Man, I thought for sure
we'd find something.
[Derek] Yeah, me too.
Maybe she didn't take the bus after all.
Maybe she didn't leave town.
Maybe she didn't take the bus.
Maybe she over there hiding.
Mm.
She could be in Wuhan, China by now?
No, she in the US
because she want me to join her.
Yeah.
Did you ever run that footage I gave you
from, uh, from her memorial?
What footage? What memorial?
I pulled some footage near the memorial
where the other soldiers
in her unit are buried.
Uh-huh?
Figured it might be worth a shot.
Hmm.
Did you email it to me?
Yeah.
Let me check that out.
(keyboard clacking)
Oh yeah, I got it right here.
[Amir] Hmm.
Bro, this is like a few
hours worth of surveillance.
But I can start on it now
and, um, see what we
come up with by tomorrow.
Alright.
Alright, I'll see you then.
Alright, man, I appreciate you, bro.
(computer beeping)
Wait.
[Derek] Hmm?
Was that a match already?
(computer beeping)
(tense music)
Oh.
That's Sloan right there, man.
Two days after she leave town,
she couldn't resist not
paying her respects.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, we got her.
Man, we got her punk ass.
Hell, yeah.
Hell, yeah.
New evidence is being
reported in the Culver case.
Cameras spotted detectives
meeting with Derek Culver today.
Culver looks happy.
Has he found evidence of Redding?
Time will tell.
Bullshit.
Ow.
Ow.
Ow. Ow.
(Sloan panting)
(Sloan moaning)
(Sloan panting)
(solemn music)
(Sloan sighs)
(people chattering)
(door slams)
(tense music)
Hmm.
This is good.
Okay.
It's real good, just...
[Derek] Mm-hmm?
You know, we still have to run it
through our system, okay?
Authenticate it.
Make sure everything checks out, okay?
What do you mean, Park?
She's right there.
[Park] I know.
Don't you think we need
to go get some people
to go find her?
You didn't happen to
generate these yourself,
did you, doc?
Generate?
Yeah, I mean, my son
can type on a chatbot
and come up with better results.
You can't even tell it's her.
Park, what are we doing?
Come on, man.
We're wasting time.
She's out there.
Like, you do understand
why we'd be skeptical, Derek?
So just let us do our jobs
And cut the shit part,
tell him the truth.
You need to get a nice suit
'cause those charges are coming soon.
What is she talking about?
Just a little more time, okay?
[Meyers] If I were you, I
wouldn't leave the country
for a while.
(pensive music)
[Sloan] You want me to
put it in my mouth for you?
[Abe] Yeah, just like that.
(gentle music)
[Trish] Dear Mary, my name
is Trish, and I'm 19 years old.
I work at UPS with Abe.
We've been seeing each
other for some time now,
and I wasn't gonna reveal myself,
but the guilt is too much to bear.
And you have every right to know.
I'm leaving for college now,
so you don't need to worry about nothing,
but I can't hold onto this vile secret
in my spirit any longer.
God has compelled me to speak the truth.
I recorded one of our encounters,
and I'm sorry for the
pain this will cause,
but you need to hear it, Mary.
Please believe me,
I never meant to hurt you like this.
So, you want me to do the
thing she won't for you, huh?
You want me to put it in my mouth for you?
[Abe] Yeah, just like that.
[Trish] Am I doing it right?
Like this?
(Abe moaning)
(pensive music)
(Mary sobbing)
(pensive music continues)
(Mary crying)
(pensive music continues)
(Mary sobbing)
[Monica] So they thought
you were the one using a deep fake.
That's bullshit.
Yeah, I still can't believe it.
You said they're bringing charges?
But they don't have enough evidence.
They must have eyes on you.
What the fuck?
[Monica] What?
I got another letter.
[Monica] Okay, o-open it, what's it say?
What is it?
The hell Is this, a compass?
[Monica] What the hell is she up to now?
"You lost this sea in choppy waters.
I'm the only-"
[Derek and Sloan] Safe shore-
[Sloan] You have.
I disappeared and I can
help you disappear with me.
We'll be together and
they'll never find us.
Come to me.
"There's a map waiting
for you in the ship.
Sail to me, captain.
"Sail to me."
[Monica] My God.
That sounds insane.
Bro, whatever you do, be careful.
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
(gravel crunching)
(slow tense music)
(hatch slams)
(slow tense music continues)
(hood slams)
Is it?
(Derek grunting)
(compass beeping)
(grim music)
(grim music continues)
(compass beeping)
(grim music continues)
(shovel thudding)
(grim music continues)
(box creaks)
(grim music continues)
[Sloan] Everything you need
to sail to me is in here,
a new identity, passport,
everything you need to disappear.
I can't give you my exact location,
so each compass will
lead you to another one
until we're finally reunited again.
So take the gun, leave the cannoli.
P.S. I left you an important parting gift
so you're not tempted to go back.
Check the ground beneath the box.
(tense music)
What the f...
(Derek screams)
(jarring music)
No. Ma!
I'm, I'm so sorry, Ma.
(pensive music)
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, I'm sorry.
No, no, no.
Culver, freeze, alright?
Put your hands up.
Put them up.
It's not what it look like.
Put your hands up.
Don't move.
Freeze! Culver.
Okay, okay, it's not what it look like.
Don't move.
Put your hands on your head.
Don't move.
Culver!
Stop, stop, stop, nowhere to run.
Get down.
Get the fuck down!
- Okay, okay, okay.
- Come on.
What is this, huh?
[Derek] It's not what it looked like.
Bullshit!
Culver, you've been playing us.
[Derek] No, I haven't.
We're taking you in, okay?
You understand?
I don't wanna shoot you, Culver.
Alright?
- Okay.
You're fucking with us, alright?
Got me back.
(tense music)
If you are guilty of a murder,
why would you go back to
the scene of the crime
and dig up the body?
Why would you, if you
are guilty of a murder
and you are the lead suspect,
go back to the scene of the
crime to dig up the body?
My brothers and sisters,
something ain't right.
I smell, I smell Caucasian collusion.
Do you understand me?
This ain't right.
Even this brother who fell
for this pale, snow bunny
mail lady's flat, chapped cookies
ain't dumb enough to know that
the police are watching him
and go back to the scene of
the crime to dig up the body.
He's just not that dumb.
I smell Caucasian collusion.
Do you understand me?
Something ain't right.
Something ain't right.
But this brother is finished.
It doesn't matter if it ain't right
'cause this brother is
finished, do you hear me?
It doesn't matter if it ain't right.
This brother is finished.
In white America, he'll
never see the light of day.
He will never see the light
of day in white America.
Do you understand me?
Unless this snow devil
decides to pop herself back up
and change her mind, this brother is done
all because he couldn't resist
the snow devil's cookies.
All because he couldn't resist
that pale buffalo meat
of that white woman.
All right, ladies,
now we're gonna talk about
mock birth in the pools.
There are many different
positions to give birth in,
but the best one is a yoga squat
because it helps to open the pelvis
as well as gravity helping
to pull the baby down.
And we'll practice it like this.
(Mary crying)
Mary?
Oh, Mary, what, what, what's wrong?
It's Abe.
I, you know, I told
him that I'd forgive him
if you just admit it.
He just keeps lying.
I, I'm so sorry.
You know, how can you really move forward
if he won't come clean about things?
I just, I just gotta get
away from him right now.
But
it's his house
and, um, my mom's all the way in Savannah.
And if I, if I go to her, then
I have to tell her the truth.
Well, why don't you
just tell her the truth?
What are you afraid of?
'Cause, 'cause if I, if I tell her,
and then she'll say, "Oh, I told you
not to trust one of them."
Ugh, and I...
You know, I really, really
want Abe to make this right.
- Yeah.
- But
he just won't tell the truth.
You know what?
I think you should stay
with me for a little while.
Yeah, you know, I think
you need a little break.
And I've got all the room
in the house, you know,
with Derek being gone,
and I think it might be
a well deserved vacation
away from Abe for a little while.
- Oh.
- What do you think?
You, you'd do that for me?
Oh, but of course.
You are my best friend
and I wouldn't let you
go through this alone.
Thank you.
- Of course.
- Thank you, Carmen.
I'd love that.
Me too.
[Mary] Thank you, thank you.
Me too.
(tense music)
We're gonna have some fun.
[Mary] Yeah.
(solemn music)
[Monica] So, did you
hear back from your friend?
Talking about Amir?
[Monica] Yeah.
Nothing.
We tracked her down to a single county.
It's called Veridia County.
It's in the Carolinas.
[Monica] Yeah.
She was there like six months ago.
No clue where she is now.
Oh, God.
Sis,
they're trying to have me do a plea deal,
25 to life.
Wait, what?
Are you gonna sign it?
I got one more lifeline.
(solemn music)
They didn't tell you.
Tell me what?
(solemn music)
Sis,
tell me what?
They're doing it today.
What you talking about?
They're pulling the plug on Renee.
Sorry.
- No.
They can't do that.
(solemn music)
I'm so sorry.
(Monica sniffling)
Derek, I'm sorry.
Derek, I'm sorry.
(solemn music)
Dear Lord,
we are gathered here today
to place her name in Your hands.
She was a bright light
in all our lives,
a, a loving daughter
and mother.
(solemn music)
She can rest easy
knowing that we found
justice for her killer.
(solemn music)
(Lenny crying)
Ah.
(solemn music)
And our babies will be
born so close to each other.
They'll grow up like siblings.
They're always gonna have each other
just like us.
Mary.
Oh, I am so blessed that I met you.
You truly have helped me so, so much.
(Mary murmuring)
(tense music)
(knuckles rapping)
(tense music continues)
Hi, Abe.
Oh.
What's going on?
I've been such a good girl.
(tense music)
(door slams)
(tense music continues)
I'm sorry it's had to come to this.
I mean, you can read that 10 times over,
it's not gonna change.
25 to life is about the best
you're going to get here.
It's time.
Ma'am, stop, ma'am, you
cannot not go in there.
Get off of me!
Derek, please, Derek,
no, don't, don't sign it.
Don't sign it.
You can beat this.
(birds squawking)
[Both] Mommy!
[Renee] Oh, my baby.
I missed you so much.
I missed you too.
[Lenny] Mom's gonna take some time
to get her strength back.
(Lenny chuckling)
- Are you okay?
- Yes, Mommy's okay.
I promise I'll be home soon, okay?
[Lenny] Alright.
Ah, ah.
Now I need you both to
go back out in the lobby
with your Auntie Monica.
[Grace And Caden] Okay.
- I love you.
- I love you, Mom.
Bye, bye, bye.
(Lenny sighs)
I'm sorry that they're
doing it this way, baby girl.
Just try to remember what you can.
Now you remember that you woke
up last night and we talked.
Yeah, I, I remember that.
Okay.
What's the last thing that
you remember before going out?
Do you remember getting shot?
Ah, Derek...
Derek was...
And then Sloan...
Yes?
What happened, baby?
Derek was mad.
Why did he shoot you?
What did he do with Sloan?
Derek
shot me?
And,
and,
and then I, I killed Sloan.
You
killed Sloan?
I, I, I tried to, but she got back up.
She, she got back up and
her face was painted all red
and...
You tried to kill her?
I thought she was dead, but she wasn't.
Where's Derek?
Is he okay?
Where's Ma? She had Ma's phone.
She-
Wait, wait, baby.
Baby, wait.
First answer me this.
Why did Derek shoot you?
What?
No, Derek didn't shoot me, Sloan did.
Did you get her?
Where is Ma?
Where's Derek?
Can somebody please tell
me what happened, please?
Your husband is okay.
But your mom...
- No.
- Your mom...
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No. (Sobbing)
I'm so sorry, baby girl.
I'm so sorry.
No! (Sobbing)
(pensive music)
(birds chirping)
[Abe] Hey, Ma.
Sorry I've been missing your calls.
(eggs sizzling)
Mary and I up and went out of town
to a cabin to rekindle.
The signal was spotty.
(light suspenseful music)
We will be back down to have her at birth
at home in a few days.
(light suspenseful music)
Check out our Facebook.
We'll be posting updates there.
[Abe] Check out our Facebook.
We'll be posting updates there.
(light suspenseful music)
(Sloan sighs)
(timer pings)
(Sloan sighs)
(eggs sizzling)
Hm.
(Sloan sighs)
(Sloan sighs)
(door creaking)
(ominous music)
(Abe mumbling)
(Mary mumbling)
(ominous music)
(Abe and Mary mumbling)
Good morning, lovebirds.
How'd you sleep?
(Abe and Mary mumbling)
(ominous music)
(Mary mumbling)
I made us breakfast.
Well, breakfast for you and the baby,
but for you...
(Mary mumbling)
Oh, I have something real special planned
for you this morning.
(Mary mumbling)
It's the least I can do for
all that I put you through.
(Abe mumbling)
Oh, look, he's waking up.
Oh, don't fight, okay?
(Abe mumbling)
You shouldn't feel ashamed
for the things that you truly want.
And I think that every man
should experience this at least once
in their lives.
(Mary sobbing)
(Abe crying)
(Mary sobbing)
(Abe moaning)
(water splashing)
(Sloan gasps)
Mary.
Oh, my God, your water broke.
Oh, how exciting.
(Mary crying)
(ominous music)
[Abe] Mary.
[Mary] Help, please someone help me!
Mary, hold on, I'll be right there.
(Mary mumbling)
Oh, my God, I'm so excited.
(Mary whimpering)
Okay.
(Abe mumbling)
Please, Carmen, I need a doctor.
No, you don't need a doctor, Mary.
You just need to breathe.
Breathe and deliver this
beautiful baby into the world.
Come on, just like we practiced in class.
You are a fierce mama.
(Abe mumbling)
Abraham, shut up!
You are not going anywhere.
Who the fuck are you?
Alright, you just need to calm down.
I need to get you some more pain pills.
I-I'll be right back.
(Abe mumbling)
Help me!
I'm gonna die here.
(Abe mumbling)
I'm gonna die here.
(Abe mumbling)
(tense music)
[Sloan] Okay, come on, Mama.
You got this.
Fuck you, you psychotic fuck!
Oh, here he comes, here he comes.
Oh, one more push, Mary, one more.
(Mary screaming)
(baby crying)
Oh, Mama's here.
(baby crying)
Oh, you're safe now, baby.
You're safe now.
(baby crying)
Please let me hold my baby, please.
[Sloan] Shh.
(Abe mumbling)
Carmen.
(baby crying)
Carmen.
Carmen.
This isn't your baby, Mary.
He belongs to me.
(tense music)
(Abe mumbling)
You have your own fucking baby!
(tense music)
I did have my own baby, Mary.
[News Anchor] Culver looks happy.
Has he found evidence of Redding?
Time will tell.
Bullshit.
(Sloan panting)
Ow. (Moans)
The life inside of me was such a blessing
that I started to have faith.
Faith that I could experience love too.
Ow.
Ow.
I should have known better.
No, no, no, no.
The pain kept coming
back over and over again.
(Sloan mumbling)
Oh.
No amount of faith would change my fate.
Ow.
Every time I love something or someone,
it's taken away from me
in the most brutal way
that God could imagine.
No, please, don't do this.
It is my baby. (Crying)
But he's gone now.
And now
I need yours
because that's the only way
that I'm going to get him back.
No, you can't have him, he's mine!
He's mine! (Crying)
(baby crying)
Mary.
He's mine now.
Help, please, someone help!
(baby crying)
Help!
Please, somebody help me.
Help!
(ominous music)
(cars whooshing)
(baby crying)
That's better.
(baby crying)
They'll be here soon.
They're always watching.
We have to go.
Baby, we really have to go.
(Abe mumbling)
I just need
one more thing.
(baby crying)
(tense music)
(cloth package rustling)
(tense music)
You're gonna be safe now, I promise.
(tense pulsating music)
(poignant music)
[Derek] Thank you, Lord,
for giving us this miracle
and having mercy for us.
By waking up Renee, You
gave us both agency.
But we know that there's
evil out there still lurking.
(baby crying)
(gas lever thuds)
(serene music)
(timer beeps)
(serene music continues)
We will use this gift, the
strength You've given us
to fight for those who can't.
(baby cries)
It's gonna be okay.
You have each other
and
you have God.
(tense music)
(baby gurgling)
(Abe mumbling)
(baby gurgling)
I'll place a tip call in
once Derek and I are in a safe place.
God bless the both of you.
(baby gurgling)
(Abe mumbling)
(baby crying)
(Abe mumbling)
(Mary sobbing)
This miracle, this second chance,
it's a sign to fight.
We can't let the devil win.
(tense eerie music)
[Mary] The gas!
(Mary mumbling)
(Abe mumbling)
[Derek] We will be
Your instruments, Lord,
Your warriors against the darkness.
Shh, shh, shh.
(baby crying)
It's okay.
(tense eerie music)
(Mary sobbing)
[Abe] Mm-mm!
(Mary crying)
(Abe mumbling)
I love you.
(slow tense music)
Devils who prey on the innocent,
they twist and corrupt, seeking
to destroy all that is good.
(alarm beeping)
(explosion booming)
(alarms blaring)
(tense eerie music)
(alarms blaring)
We will hunt them down
in Your name.
Mommy's here.
(intense eerie music)
(maniac laughing)
(baby wailing)
(soaring ominous music)
I knew it, I knew it, I knew it.
See, I told y'all that
this brother was innocent,
innocent of murder, but guilty
of being a snow bunny hopper.
Innocent of murder, but guilty
of being a snow bunny hopper.
Sweet baby Jesus
woke up his African
almond cocoa butter queen
from that coma just in time
to save his snow bunny hopping hide.
Sweet baby Jesus
woke up his African almond
cocoa butter queen wife
from that coma to save his
snow bunny hopping hide.
You understand what I'm saying here?
Now, we need to find out
where this mal lady is
because I hear that
she's armed and dangerous
and also has been
pregnant by this brother.
Hm.
Sweet Jesus, Lord have mercy.
(poignant music)
(poignant music continues)
(poignant music continues)
(car whooshing)
(car engine roaring)
(intense music)
(Derek screams)
No. No!
(gunshot booms)
- Renee!
[Nurse] He's back up.
[Doctor] Prepare for a
full trauma assessment.
We need to look for internal bleeding
and any signs of infection.
Where's my wife?
Let's get an ultrasound going
and set up IV antibiotics.
(Derek cries out)
Let's sedate him again.
Is anyone gonna talk to me?
Is my wife alive? Just tell me that!
Right now, we are focused
on saving your life.
[Nurse] (indistinct)
pushing one milligram setting.
You don't know if she's alive?
This is my fault, this
can't end like this.
You need to calm down.
We need to check you
for internal bleeding,
other serious threats.
Just tell me about my fucking wife!
Mr. Culver, I don't
know your wife's status.
The sooner you let us work,
the sooner we can find out, okay?
I can't sit here and let her die.
(nurse speaking indistinctly)
You're gonna be all right.
Come on, we gotta check this out.
Get a blood pressure cuff on this man.
(intense music)
I gotta know.
(machine beeping)
Okay, he's out, come on,
let's get him hooked up.
(intense music)
(groans) Motherfuck!
(intense music continues)
Mr. Culver?
How are you feeling?
Forget about me.
How's my wife?
You and your wife both
escaped death tonight,
but narrowly.
Your injury was nearly fatal,
inches from an artery.
We managed to control the
bleeding and get you stitched up.
You'll need some time to heal,
but you'll recover just fine.
What about Renee?
Mrs. Culver is stabilized, but
she is in a coma.
She lost a lot of blood and it
was touch and go for a while.
(intense pulsating music)
Try to rest, Derek.
You need your strength, too.
(grim music)
(Sloan grunting)
(shovel thudding)
(grim music)
Hi, Mr. Culver,
I'm Detective Meyers,
this is my partner, Detective Park.
Just wanna ask you a few questions
about what happened last night.
Tell me you found her.
Take it easy.
Just, uh...
Yeah, get up.
Please.
(Derek groans)
Take it easy.
Try to tell us what you can remember.
Her name is Sloan Redding.
She broke into my house.
She stabbed me right here.
She aimed a gun at my kids and my wife,
who's in the same hospital right now,
fighting for her life,
took a bullet for me.
We understand that
Sloan was your mail lady.
I mean, why all of a sudden
do you think she'd break
in home and do this?
This wasn't all of a sudden,
this has been building up for months.
She's a very sick and crazy woman.
She's been stalking me
so much.
She's obsessed with me.
Well, unfortunately, Ms.
Redding is still missing.
(Sloan grunting)
And we were able to set
up a large perimeter
so we can monitor all ways
in and out of the city.
Please, tell us in detail,
the best detail you can,
what we should be looking for.
What was she wearing?
Everything.
Red paint mixed with black and green.
Like an army devil?
Yes, that's it.
Her right eye is swollen.
My wife beat the shit out
of her with a bookend.
Yeah, they did mention
that there was a lot
of Ms. Redding's blood,
but there was no trace
of her ever leaving.
I mean, the car that's
registered in her name
was still parked outside.
No sign of her on any
neighboring security cameras
and no witnesses so far.
What are you implying?
We're not implying anything just yet.
Just given the evidence,
we have to explore all possibilities.
What evidence?
My wife is the one who called it in.
You ain't listened to the 911 tapes?
Not yet.
[Derek] Did you talk to my kids?
You got witnesses right there.
We did.
In fact, they corroborated
this bizarre account perfectly,
which is what we figured would
happen after we heard this.
(grim music)
Now while they were
investigating the crime scene,
this started playing in your living room.
[Grace] Mommy, no.
What did you do to her?
[Derek] Stop all that goddamn crying.
- Daddy.
- Look,
we gotta get our story straight.
Say it was the mail lady.
- What?
- Say she ran in here
looking psycho with red paint on her face.
She shot your mom and she stabbed me.
[Grace] Daddy, you stabbed yourself.
You told your kids to
say it was the mail lady.
[Derek] You gonna be
next if you don't do
what the fuck I just said.
Now who did this?
[Grace] The mail lady.
[Derek] And she came here
looking like a army devil,
right?
Right?
- Yes, like an army devil.
- And what else?
- With red paint on her face.
That's not me, that's a deep fake.
You gotta believe me.
[Park] Look, Mr. Culver,
if there's something you wanna tell us,
right now is the time,
because if we find a body,
there's no way we can
have sympathy for you-
You won't find her body.
You need to be out there
looking for her right now
before she get away.
- Okay.
Just relax.
If what you're saying is
true, she won't get far, okay?
We'll be in touch.
(grim music)
(tense music)
(vehicles rumbling)
(rain pattering)
(thunder rumbling softly)
(rain pattering)
(thunder rumbles softly)
(cars whooshing)
(machine beeping)
Renee, I'm so sorry.
(machine beeping)
(gentle music)
(knuckles rapping)
[Nurse] Mr. Culver?
Yes.
[Nurse] Um, your kids are here.
Would, would you like them to come in?
No, not right now.
They can't see her like this.
[Nurse] Okay.
I love you, okay?
(machine beeping)
(gentle music)
[Grace] Daddy!
Hey, my little brave ones.
(Derek groaning)
I missed y'all so much.
We missed you too.
Ah.
Hey, sis.
- Hey.
Thanks for taking care
of my little ones for me.
Of course, bro.
How, how's Mommy?
She's okay.
Y'all can't go see her yet,
but the doctors are...
They're doing a good job
of taking care of her.
What about that woman?
Did they, did they get her yet?
(grim music)
(tense music)
I should have seen it, Renee.
I should have done better.
I let that demon into our home.
Now you the one laying
there paying the price.
I should have talked to you
and told you I was unhappy,
and told you that I felt
like we were drifting away.
(grim music)
Instead, I kept it all
inside, let it build up.
Then she came along.
(tense music)
It needs to be perfect.
She seemed normal at first.
Then I realized
she was crazy.
She preyed on me.
(tense music)
Please God,
I know I don't deserve it,
but please, give her back to me.
You said the prayer offered in faith
will make a sick person well, right?
The Lord will raise them up.
If they have sinned, they
will be forgiven, right?
I'm holding on to that, Lord.
Please, Lord, I'm begging,
don't let this be the end.
(Sloan moans)
(tense music)

(grim music)
(phone messages buzzing)
(grim music)
(machine beeping)
[Zeke] Hey, baby, you okay?
I've been trying to call you all day.
You hear me?
(sighs) Listen, Renee,
I didn't mean for things to
get outta hand like that.
You didn't have to jump on a
first flight and run back home.
We don't have to tell him.
We can just keep doing it how we doing it?
Who the fuck is this?
[Zeke] Oh, shit.
(cellphone beeping)
(grim music)
(machine beeping)
(phone ringing)
[Operator] Your call has been forwarded
to an automated voice mess a-
(phone ringing)
Your call has been forwarded
to an automated voice messaging system.
(grim music)
(machine beeping)
I should have known
some shit wasn't right.
Five months?
Five months you go without touching me.
I should have knew then.
You know what?
Sloan was right.
It's your fault this shit happened.
You brought that demon into our house.
Now you paying the consequences for it.
Now look at you.
We said our vows on this book.
(Bible thudding)
Cold-hearted,
dirty-ass bitch.
You ain't nothing but a slut.
Ugh.
That was quite the speech, Derek.
Mr. Lenny, that's not
what it sounded like.
What is it then, huh?
What did you mean she
brought the demon in?
Calling her a slut
while she lays unconscious.
It's been so much going on right now.
I mean...
My ex-wife has been missing
and my daughter lies in a coma.
Mr. Lenny,
everything just got outta control.
The temptation, the loneliness.
What is this then, Derek?
Tell me!
She's been cheating on me!
I just found out.
Look at the text messages.
You
did this to her
because she cheated on you?
No, that's, that's not what I'm saying.
You son for bitch!
(tense music)
(both grunting)
(fist thudding)
You fucker!
I'll kill you right now, you motherfucker!
Sir! Sir!
Get off of me!
Help, (indistinct)!
Kill you, motherfucker!
(nurse screams)
(Lenny roaring)
Ease up, ease up!
I'll kill you, you bitch!
Bitch!
(grim music)
(soft tense music)
(Sloan sighs)
(soft tense music continues)
Hmm.
Hi, there.
I'm Carmen Culver, it's
so nice to meet you.
Oh, bless your heart.
(soft tense music)
Hi, I'm Carmen Culver.
It's so nice to meet you.
Oh, bless your heart.
Hmm.
Bless your heart.
(tense music)
Hmm.
(tense music continues)
God bless you.
(tense music continues)
Hmm.

(bottles clinking)
[Burglar] What are we looking for again?
[Burglar] License.
It will tell us where she went.
[Burglar] What do you mean
it'll tell us where she went?
(Sloan panting)
[Burglar] Hey!
(soft tense music)
(intense music)
Shit, I don't have a line of sight.
I know you're there.
[Burglar] Negative. Negative.
And it's not worth your life.
[Burglar] Just wait for my cue.
Who sent you?
Dark DARPA?
The Pentagon?
Who?
[Burglar] It's like we are (indistinct).
Like they're not...
They're not who you think they are.
They set us up.
[Burglar] Can't see anything.
(gun clicks)
[Burglar] Alright, I'm going in.
(burglars whispering indistinctly)
It wasn't just an IED attack.
I was there.
(tense music)
Look, I don't wanna have to kill you.
(burglars whispering indistinctly)
[Burglar] She's making a making a move.
(intense music)
[Burglar] Go, down, down, down!
Get down!
(intense music)
[Burglar] Copy.
[Burglar] She's making her move.
[Burglar] Alright, I'm going in.
(burglars whispers indistinctly)
[Burglar] Take her down, down, down.
Fuck. Fuck!
Fuck.
We're going to focus
on calming down.
Okay?
(Sloan exhales)
When I listen to his heart,
I feel a lot more relaxed.
Okay.
I am okay right now.
(serene music)
I am not broken or over dramatic
for feeling this way.
Son of a bitch!
(intense music)
(knife squishes)
(Derek screams)
[Zeke] Hey baby, you okay?
I've been trying to call you all day.
Who the fuck is this?
(gunshot booms)
Renee!
(tense music)
Don't you die on me, baby.
Don't you die on me.
(Derek sighs)
(knuckles rapping)
[Park] Good morning, Mr. Culver.
Ooh.
Got you good, didn't he?
I'm not in the mood right now.
Okay, well, we'd like to
ask you a few more questions
if that's all right.
Yeah, so we spoke with Leonard Richards
and he mentioned some interesting
things he heard you say.
It's not what it sounded like.
Oh, your wife cheated on you, right?
Yeah, I just found out.
Oh, he just found out.
I mean, of course he did.
That makes sense.
I'm not lying.
I plugged her phone in
and I saw the message
from her little boyfriend.
He seemed concerned.
When I called the number back,
he answered and said, "Hey, baby."
If it was just last
night, you do realize
that's gonna be really
hard to sell, right?
Yeah, but it's the truth.
Have y'all found any trace on Sloan yet?
No, zero trace.
You really think I did this, huh?
You really think I would hurt my wife,
my mother-in-law,
even stabbed myself?
This is all because of Sloan, man.
She's insane.
Have you seen her military records?
PTSD?
Tours in Iraq?
She's crazy.
And it's obvious.
We're here looking for the truth, okay?
As far as Sloan is concerned,
we did issue a subpoena.
Now, as far as getting access
to psychological and medical records,
it's gonna take a little
longer than a few days.
What about ballistics?
She got guns in her name.
I even filed a complaint with her job.
I'm sorry, I just, I can't
wrap my head around this.
You really let another
man screw your wife?
What the fuck did you say?
- Meyers.
- No, I mean, no disrespect.
Oh, that's disrespect.
The betrayal of it all,
not just for you, but for the kids.
I mean, this woman worked
for Premieve Liquor,
in brand partnerships.
Have you seen her Instagram?
I mean, she's flying to
all the luxury events,
what, two weeks at a time?
Meyers.
Pool parties,
sky boxes at the basketball games-
- Meyers.
- Nightclubs in the VIP.
(scoffs) I mean, she's
living the high life.
- Meyers.
- While you're at home
with the kids, she's
off, what, getting nailed
by some hot shot CEO?
Or better yet, maybe it was a pro athlete,
yeah, that she brought
back to her hotel room
so she could live out her fantasies.
And then when that's
all said and done, what?
She gotta come home to you,
the boring math boy?
You couldn't let that slide,
could you, Dr. Culver?
(tense music)
You had enough, didn't you?
I don't have nothing to say to you.
Oh, no, I think you got a lot to say.
But you were smart.
Yeah, you figured it out.
You used that PhD brain of yours
and you calculated the perfect murder.
I mean, so good that you were even able
to lure in the vulnerable
young mail lady as your alibi.
I gotta give it to you, you almost had me,
but you slipped up.
Right?
Yeah, you fucked up.
You couldn't take it
any longer, could you?
You're wrong.
No, I'm right.
I mean, just admit it.
Come on, Culver.
She betrayed you.
I mean, she spit in the
face of your kids, to you.
How many guys did she fuck
'cause you couldn't satisfy her?
Right?
She was never home,
never with the kids,
left you alone,
left you to be the
little man that you are.
You're nothing.
You are nothing to her.
Meyers.
- Come on, admit it!
- Meyers.
Fine.
Just know that we filed
the necessary paperwork
and can't see your wife
unless it's supervised.
- Supervised?
- Yeah.
What the fuck are you talking about?
That's my wife.
Oh, it's your wife now.
It had to be done, okay?
For her protection and for yours.
Given the circumstances
we had to play it safe.
No, this shit not gonna fly.
Y'all gonna be hearing from my lawyer.
(Meyers chuckles)
Detectives,
y'all can see your way out the door.
Why the fuck y'all still standing here?
Get the fuck out.
Now!
There he is.
Oh, no, don't look away now.
Now that's the Dr. Culver
I've been waiting to meet.
I'm gonna nail you to the cross.
Let's get outta here.
(door latch clicking)
(door slams)
In a shocking turn of events,
Dr. Derek Culver has become
the main person of interest
in an ongoing investigation.
Authorities are now
considering Sloan Redding
to be deceased.
US Army Veterans Sloan Redding
was born in Topeka, Kansas.
She took up after her
father, Billy Redding,
who was an army helicopter pilot.
Billy Redding, who joined
the army after 9/11,
was eventually killed
during a dangerous mission
searching for weapons of mass
destruction in March 2003.
"Weapons of mass destruction."
Sloan Redding was an elite soldier
during her time in service.
Joining at the age of 18,
she became a combat engineer
and served two successful
tours in Iraq on elite units.
Successful.
Her military career ended
with a general discharge
following an undisclosed incident
under review by military authorities.
Whistleblower.
Yeah.
- Search teams
are looking for both bodies,
but so far no new evidence has been found.
[News Co-Anchor] Wow, thanks
for that update, Carolyn.
After the break, (phone ringing)
We have your weather report and sports.
Stay tuned.
[TV Announcer Are made for This.
(phone ringing)
Made for the calling only warriors can an-
(phone continues ringing)
[Jamie] I know you're there.
Sloan?
How did you get this number?
[Jamie] You know how.
I knew you weren't dead.
Just busy destroying families as usual.
Well, I learned from the best.
[Jamie] Where are you?
Why?
So you can blow the whistle on me?
[Jamie] No, so I can pay you a visit.
You need help and you know it.
That's why you answered the phone.
I don't need your fucking help,
I never have, and I never fucking will!
Fuck!
Ugh.
(object thuds)
(man coughs)
(tense music)
(object thuds)
(tense music)
(gun clicking)
(helicopter rotors whirring)
Fuck!
(solemn music)
(door creaks)
Who's
there?
(solemn music)
(helicopter rotors whirring)
Well, I come from a small town
and a small devout Christian family.
Beauty and faith have always
been so central in my life.
Okay.
(gentle music)
Thank you, Lord.
(serene music)
Johnson?
What are you doing here?
You belong
there.
(serene music)
(soaring music)
Perfect.
Perfect.
Oh.
Okay, Solomon, not perfect.
(Sloan sighs)
(serene music)
Hm.
(serene music continues)
(dark music)
(knuckles rapping)
[Nurse] Sorry to
startle you, Dr. Culver.
You have a delivery.
(serene music)
(envelope rustling)
(tense music)
[Sloan] Take control
of the wheel, captain.
Steer your way to me.
I miss you already.
(solemn music)
[Park] So why does she call you captain?
When I first logged
onto her ASMR live stream,
the username I created was Captain Culver.
And she been calling me that ever since.
So you're saying she's
out there somewhere.
She's waiting
and she wants you there with her?
Yeah.
It's funny because
the very last thing she said to me was,
"Come with me."
Derek, uh,
managed to get my hand
on your wife's 911 call.
Came back inconclusive.
Sorry for the bad news, but...
How?
[Operator] 911, what's your emergency?
[Renee] We're being attacked.
Please, send help now.
[Operator] Ma'am, can
I have your location?
[Renee] Yes, 24553 Kent Street.
[Grace] Mommy!
[Operator] Ma'am.
Ma'am?
(tense music)
(Renee crying)
- Mommy, Mommy.
Stop it! No!
(Derek speaking indistinctly)
(Renee and Grace crying)
(Derek speaking indistinctly)
(family chattering and crying)
(tense music)
Do you think that Derek
Culver is innocent or guilty?
He's innocent of shooting his wife,
but guilty of being a
snow bunny loving coon.
Innocent of shooting
his cocoa butter queen,
guilty of being a snow bunny loving coon.
Innocent of shooting
his melanated, educated,
cocoa butter queen,
but guilty of being a snow
bunny hopping, flat, pale,
uncooked to the bun cheeks loving coon.
They are saying that this
brother killed the mail lady,
shot his wife and stabbed
himself to cover it up.
Ain't no brother I know stabbing himself
to cover up nothing.
Ain't no brother I know stabbing himself
to cover up nothing.
That is European behavior.
That is clan man behavior.
I'll tell you what happened.
This King Kong looking brother
smashed the mail lady's cookies
and now she is going cuckoo for King Kong.
Cuckoo for King Kong.
And she's the one who shot his educated,
melanated, cocoa butter queen.
And he doesn't need to go to jail.
He's already going through hell
because he messed with a
military grade snow devil.
Now, my Lord have mercy.
We ought to be praying for this man.
(serene music)
- Hi.
- Thank you very much.
Thank you.
(serene music continues)
Hi.
Here you go.
- Thank you.
Have a good one.
(serene music)
Hi.
(serene music continues)
(Sloan coughing and retching)
(Sloan sniffles)
Oh, come on.
(pulsating music)
Oh, my God.
(pulsating music continues)
(pulsating music continues)
[Sandra] Well, hi, you must be Carmen.
[Sloan] Yeah, that's me.
Well, welcome, I'm Sandra.
I'm one of the midwives here.
You have come at the perfect time.
Our community is all
about natural childbirth,
connecting with our faith,
and supporting each other.
- Well...
- Come on.
That sounds just wonderful.
You know, it's real nice meeting mothers
who are going through the same thing.
Of course.
And on mornings like today,
we do yoga to connect with
the body and the babies.
- Wow.
- And in the evenings,
most evenings we have prayer groups.
Those are really special.
They help us connect to our spirituality.
As a matter of fact,
Mary's pretty new here.
Mary, this is Carmen.
- Hi.
- She can tell you
about the prayer meetings.
- Hi.
Nice to meet you.
Yeah, please, tell me more
about these prayer meetings.
That sounds absolutely perfect.
Faith has been such a big part of my life
during a time like this.
Yeah, oh, well, well,
it helps, you know,
and the support and the prayers.
It's like a second family.
Even the fathers get involved sometimes.
Well, that must be so nice
having such a supportive community.
Especially when you have
your partner by your side.
[Mary] Yeah.
Mine, uh,
he's deployed away in the Middle East.
[Mary] Oh, wow.
Yeah.
You know, my, my husband, Abe,
tries to come as much as he can.
And he's been so involved
with everything, you know,
reading up on things
and helping me prepare.
Sometimes I think he's more nervous
about the birth than I am.
Well, you must really be lucky
to have a guy like that by your side.
To be honest with you guys,
it's been real tough doing this by myself.
But we lean on our faith
and he checks in on me as soon as he can.
And I'm gonna see him real
soon, so it's gonna be fine.
We're, we're, we're gonna be fine.
Don't you worry.
- Right.
- You're here now.
And this place is all about community.
So, I really wanna avoid
traditional medical centers
as much as possible.
I really wanna do things naturally.
Well, don't you worry about that.
Once we're done with you,
you'll practically be a midwife.
(machine beeping)
(knuckles rapping)
- Hey, sis.
- Hey. (Chuckles)
Ooh, you gonna miss this place?
- Oh, yeah.
- The fine dining?
The Egyptian cotton sheets?
Yeah, I'll be, uh, making sure
I'm booking my next vacation here.
(laughs) That's hilarious.
[Derek] How's my new place coming along?
Oh, your palace awaits.
The kids' stuff is already moved in.
[Derek] Perfect.
[Monica] So how long do you
think you can go unemployed?
Uh...
For a little while.
- Mm-hmm.
You know, me, uh, renting
out that place over there,
it's very costly.
But I'm about to go sell the old place,
so that puts me in a
good financial situation.
Soon?
Soon.
It's just too many bad memories.
- Yeah.
- I don't need that.
The kids don't need it.
Yeah.
Sis, thank you so much
for doing what you do for us.
- Stop.
- You picking the kids up,
you being there for me and Renee.
It's been tough.
[Monica] I know.
I'll do anything for you.
Thank you so much.
[Monica] I'm not gonna
be walking around with you
and that cane.
You look like an old man.
- Never that.
- One day.
I'm still a, a young spring
chicken over here, you know?
Man.
How's it been talking to her?
It's been tough.
Hmm.
You thought about what you
gonna do when she wakes up?
Sis, I don't know.
Still trying to figure that out.
Well, you still love her, right?
I do, but I just don't know
if she still loves me the same.
We just been going through a lot.
- Yeah.
- It's been so much going on.
(gentle music)
It'll get better.
Trust me, Derek, it will get better.
Hopefully so.
You know you stronger than you think.
No, that's your title.
You're the strong one.
- Oh, no.
Not at all.
Not at all.
Oh, man.
Ooh, you hungry?
- Yes.
- Okay,
let's get something to eat.
I could eat a horse.
And I'm not cooking.
Without the tail.
Just don't make none of them chilies.
[Monica] Oh, my God. (Laughing)
Are you crazy?
That was funny four years ago.
[Mary] A-and she said
that raspberry leaf tea
is supposed to help tone
your uterus for labor.
Have you tried it?
No, but I have heard really good things.
Yeah, have you been having
any weird cravings lately?
Pickles and ice cream.
I swear it's really the
strangest combination.
Oh, no, that's classic.
I've really been into
the Mexican food lately.
Oh, my husband's been having
a hard time keeping up.
Well, is, is this your first?
Yep.
- Aw.
- A little boy.
Oh, we're so excited.
Oh.
Well, congratulations.
This is, this is my first, too.
Our little ones will be friends.
Oh, yeah, it's gonna be so fun.
It's exciting.
- I know.
- Hey.
Babe?
Come on.
- Oh.
There's Abe.
I-I'll see you next time.
Yeah?
Bye.
(tense music)
(bird squawking)
(light switch clicks)
(tense music)
(pickle crunching)
Hm.
(pickle crunching)
Hmm.
My husband is so caring,
I think he's more nervous than me.
He's having a real hard time keeping up.
Okay, okay, look at this man.
Settled in his new spot.
Yes.
Bare bones right now,
but it's gonna have to do.
What you got from me, brother?
Man, what you got from me?
What's the latest with the detectives?
Man, they too busy watching me.
They're still waiting on
requests from the courts
for her records.
It's been like six weeks already.
Man, local detectives are
not ready for the 21st century.
With 20 bucks on the dark web,
we can have all her
information in seconds.
No country for old men.
I've been monitoring the
Reddit and Telegram chats.
They were on fire talking about your case
when it first happened.
Had some leads,
people posting sightings of her,
but none of them were her.
She's gone dark.
I don't see how, man.
I don't see how she got out the whole town
and dodged every camera in the city.
And they said her car still
was parked at my old place.
She must have had a
getaway car or something.
- Hmm.
- Speaking of that,
can you still tap into the ring cameras?
Oh, I don't think I can
make that happen, captain.
Come on with the captain shit, man.
Oh, that's right.
Sorry.
So I was on my way to
the house the other day
and I stopped by the, the old spot.
She sent me this key chain, this anchor,
with a message on it that says,
"Anchor up here and join me."
Fucking crazy bitch.
Crazy as shit, man.
Hey, so she, she wants you to find her.
Wow, and you didn't
take that to the police?
Hell no, man.
Not with everything that
happened with Mr. Lenny.
They think I got motive or something.
So my only option now was
to just to find it myself.
Fuck, man.
Well,
I can try to hack into some
ring and traffic cameras
and see what we find.
- Cool.
- I need to know
the exact time she left your place
and I'll pull up everything I can.
- Okay.
- We're gonna find her, bro.
We're gonna set you free.
Hopefully so, man, it's,
it's been a wild time, brother.
(bus engine roaring)
(cars whooshing)
(tense music)
(knuckles rapping)
(door latch clicking)
Hi there, I just need you
to sign this real quick.
Package that needs a signature?
That's unusual.
Yeah, you know, I, I thought so too.
Did you not get rush delivery?
No. No.
Wait, do I know you from somewhere?
The Nurtures Nest.
Oh, you're Mary's partner, Abe, right?
- Yeah.
- Oh.
Th-that's me.
I thought you look familiar.
Don't tell me, it's, um...
Cameron.
Cameron, right?
That's close, it's Carmen.
I knew it. Carmen, Carmen.
I, I didn't know you were a mail lady.
Yeah. Yeah.
I work UPS.
No kidding.
See now, you gotta get
me a job over there.
I heard the benefits are way better
and well, by the looks of it,
I'm going to need all the
healthcare that I can get.
Yeah, well, they do
treat us well over there.
Can't lie.
Well, okay.
- It's, it's so amazing,
isn't it?
The whole pregnancy thing.
Having this little life
growing inside of you,
it's, it's a miracle.
It's kind of mind-blowing.
Just cooking up a whole
new person in there.
A whole new life.
Oh.
Oh, you feel it?
- Oh.
- Oh, he's-
Kicking up a storm.
(laughs) Well, I guess the little one
just wanted to say hello to you.
That's amazing.
Yeah.
(tense music)
Well, thank you.
Thank, thank you.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, of course.
Well, I, I better get going.
I got a lot of houses to hit.
Um, but I hope you have a great day
and I'll see you around, Abe.
- You too, ma'am.
- Yeah.
(tense music)
Hm.
(tense music continues)
Tell me what you think about this.
Ring cameras were tough to hack,
right?
- Mm-hmm.
But I became a member
of your neighborhood
and I found what I could of that night.
This car was leaving about six minutes
after she left your place,
going about 50 miles per
hour in the residential.
- Hmm.
- And someone complained
about it and posted this.
Then what?
So I follow this car as best as I can
through traffic cameras
and eventually, the last
place I can track it to
is here in the Westend
going 90 miles per hour.
[Derek] Did you get a license plate?
[Amir] Can't make it out.
(tense music)
What the f...
(handcuffs clacking)
(door creaking)
Hi, captain.
Sloan.
What you doing?
I've missed you so much, baby.
Where'd you come in? (Panting)
(tense music)
Let me show you how much.
(tense music continues)
No, please.
Sloan.
Oh, I can see that you've missed me too.
You don't want me to stop.
You wanna know why?
Because you would've already
woken yourself up. (Chuckles)
(tense music)
No, stop. (Indistinct)
(Sloan moaning)
(tense music)
(Sloan moaning)
(Derek moaning)
(Sloan slurping)
(dramatic music)
What the f...
(thunder rumbles)
(birds chirping)
Alright, mamas.
Time to breathe.
First, we're gonna take some deep breaths
in through the nose
and out through the mouth.
(Sandra exhales deeply)
In (inhales deeply)
And out. (Exhales deeply)
That's it.
Now, for when things get real active,
we're gonna take the hee-hee-hoo breath.
Hee-hee-hoo.
Do it with me, y'all.
[All] Hee-hee-hoo.
Hee-hee-hoo.
Hee-hee-hoo.
You feel that downward energy
'cause you are really gonna
wanna get that sucker out.
[All] Hee-hee-hoo.
[Mary] How's everything been at home?
You know, with your partner
being gone and everything?
It's been tough.
Did you know it can actually
increase the chances of
having a miscarriage?
- Oh, my.
- Yeah.
Have you ever had one before?
A miscarriage?
Oh, oh, I'm so sorry,
I didn't mean to pry.
What did you think about
the breathing exercises?
No, no, it, it's fine.
Don't worry about it.
No, I haven't, but
my mom...
I was an only child and my
father was always away overseas
and they tried real hard,
but it,
it never happened.
Well, no one should have to
go through pregnancy alone.
Okay?
- Yeah.
[Mary] You can come over to
hang with me anytime, okay?
- Well, thank you.
- Yeah.
Okay, now it's my turn
for a little personal question for you.
You and Abe.
So is it true that you and Abe
haven't done anything in
what, five months now?
You mean...
Oh, no.
No, I mean, look at me, I feel gross.
Well, some men don't mind.
And plus, there, there are other ways.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
I've never gone down on him before.
No, no, we don't, we don't, we
don't do that kind of stuff.
We, we keep it simple.
Yeah.
Oh, Mary, don't tell
me he was your first?
Well, yeah.
We were each other's firsts.
I mean, we met in church
and, and we were young.
You know, Abe actually loves
the whole purity thing.
- Is that so?
- Yeah. Yeah.
I don't even think he'd
like it if I tried.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Well, Derek and I are real,
real intimate when he's home.
Well, when will he be back?
Soon, I hope.
- Oh, yeah.
- Hm?
His mission is supposed
to be over before I'm due.
You know, I used to get really mad at him
for not being here,
but I really think that
this whole pregnancy thing
is starting to change me.
Oh, I get that.
No,
I've hurt
some people.
Mary, I've, I've done some things.
Oh, hush.
Well, every saints a sinner.
I, I'm sure it's not that bad.
Yeah.
Maybe you're right.
It's just now that I have this little life
growing inside of me, I...
I think I've may have taken
things too far in the past.
I'm starting to really
understand those mothers
that will do anything for their child
like jump in front of a bullet for them.
And it makes me really think
about what kind of monster
would try and take away something
so pure from someone, you know?
Yeah.
Well, that, that sounds like a person
that needs to get closer to God
before they burn in hell.
Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
You're right.
So you can't find the car
from that night or the next day?
No.
So she's camped out
somewhere on the Westend?
The Greyhound station
is over there, right?
[Amir] Hm.
We need her face
showing that she's alive
while I'm on my way to the hospital.
Hopefully we get a match in the city.
If not, we need to know how
many buses went out that night,
let's say within six hours?
Um...
Says here 12 buses.
How many cities?
I mean, each bus has
10 to 12 stops a piece.
So 12 buses, 12 stops each.
How long would it take
for you to get the footage
for all the stations?
That's hours worth of footage.
We don't have enough time
to look through all that.
I can build a AI facial
recognition program
to identify the faces.
I'll over-index it to give
a lot of false positives.
Then we can just take care of that
and just figure out
the matches from there.
How, how long would that take?
It could take a few days to
get everything up and running.
Then we gotta wait for a hit,
and I gotta run it offline
to avoid detection.
You know, my local computer's pretty low.
How long would it take for you
to scrape up all the testing data?
I'm not sure.
Some of these are easier than others.
Let's try the one downtown first.
I can find a way into
those old ass systems.
Okay.
Cool. Let's get it.
Let's get it.
(tense music)
(Sloan sobbing)
I love you.
(tense music)
I love you.
[News Anchor] An update
on the mail lady case
out of Oak Park.
- I know you bought this.
- Audio was leaked
that appears to show
disgraced Dr. Derek Culver-
- These stupid punks.
- Telling his wife
to say it was the mail lady.
They're trying to ruin my life.
(doorbell rings)
(door creaks)
(grim music)
(door thudding)
(tense music)
(paper rustling)
(tense music)
[Sloan] I found you again, captain.
I can still feel you inside of me.
The way you looked at me,
grabbed me,
stretched me,
and exploded so deeply inside of me.
I knew then just how
much you truly love me.
Join me before it's too late.
Those detectives will never believe you.
And those doctors will never save Renee.
Maybe I'll just have to
come visit you and the kids
in your beautiful new home.
P.S. Grandma left you little
a parting gift in the box.
(soft tense music)
(paper rustling)
(dramatic music)
- Oh!
She fucking found me, man.
No, man. How?
Fuck if I know.
She sent me a package with
a no return address on it
with a finger in it.
Holy shit. Whose finger?
Renee's mom.
And she knew I can't go to the detectives.
Hmm.
What'd you do with it?
I froze it.
Shit.
Still nothing from our AI system.
She must have covered her face,
'cause her wounds from that
night was terrible, man.
Or maybe she didn't leave.
She did mention in the letters,
"every captain needs his vessel"
and she left hers behind.
Maybe she left something
in the getaway car
that leads me to her.
Hmm.
Well, there's only so many
places to hide over there.
(tense music)
Hey, Abe.
I see you're taking care of business.
Hey, Carmen.
You wouldn't believe,
all of our outside lights
went out on the same night.
Oh. Huh.
Well, maybe it's a sign.
Hm. Maybe so.
[Sloan] Mm.
Anyway, how are you
and, uh, the little one?
Good. Good.
Can't believe it's
already been five months.
Time is really flying by.
- Five months?
- Yeah.
You can barely tell.
Oh.
Well, I just love watching
a strong man work. (Laughs)
Yeah, um...
Lemme just leave the mail in a box
and I'll pick it up later?
Well, alrighty then.
(Sloan sighs audibly)
Hm.
(Sloan sighs)
Ow.
Ow.
(grunts) Oh, I'm getting a cramp.
- Hey.
- Oh.
Ow, Abe.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Are you okay?
- Oh.
Ow, I think I need to sit down, Abe.
Okay, come on.
Let's get you some water.
- Okay.
- Come, come inside.
- Oh, thank you.
- That's what you need.
Get you some water.
- Oh.
Oh, thank you.
It's okay?
Yeah, it just really hurts.
Get inside.
Okay.
(tense music)
J-J-Just breathe, Carmen.
Be right back.
(Sloan panting)
(Sloan groaning)
(Sloan panting)
Breathe.
(Sloan exhaling)
Breathe.
(Sloan panting)
- Ow.
- Breathe.
Breathe.
Am I, am I doing it right?
Almost.
In. In.
Out.
In.
In.
(Sloan moaning)
Out.
Like this?
Yes.
(tense music)
Just like that.
(tense music continues)
(phone ringing)
Hello, Mom.
Everything's fine.
Yes, I, I will be over later.
I, just doing some chores outside.
I gotta call you back.
I gotta go.
Do, do you need some more water?
No, no, it's fine.
I think it's passing.
Okay, uh...
Oh, yeah.
Back to the...
Back to the lights
I go.
Oh.
Those cramps
can be something else, huh?
- Yeah.
You've put up with way too
much for too long, haven't you?
Bye.
(door creaking)
(grim music)
(tense music)
I'll just have to come visit you.
(dramatic music)
No!
(gunshot booms)
[Caden] Get off. Get off of me.
Daddy. Stop.
Let go of me.
(intense music)
Get off!
Wake up, Caden, here's Daddy!
I was having a nightmare
and he was too.
- Stop!
Come, Denny, wake up.
Come on, it was a nightmare.
- Son.
- Wake up.
Son.
Son, wake up, wake up.
- Wake up!
You're having a dream.
You alright?
- Yes.
Here.
Y'all come here and sleep with me.
(door creaking)
(door thuds)
(grim music)
(pickles crunching)
(tense music)
[Sloan] Am I doing it right like this?
[Abe] Just like that.
(tense music)
[Sloan] So you want me to do the thing
she won't for you, huh?
You want me to put it in my mouth for you?
[Abe] Yeah, just like that.
[Sloan] Am I doing it right like this?
(Sloan exhales)
(Sloan moans)
- [Abe] Yes.
(tense music)
No!
(gunshot booms)
(solemn music)
(Renee cries)
(solemn music)
(Renee cries)
(solemn music)
(Renee cries)
(Sloan screams)
(glass shattering)
(tense music)
(Derek grunts)
[Sloan] I have delivery.
[Abe] Sure, come on in.
Oh, (indistinct).
(Sloan panting)
(Sloan speaking indistinctly)
[Sloan] I feel so fucking good.
Oh, my God.
(Sloan moaning)
(tense music)
(phone ringing)
What the fuck are you doing here?
(Derek grunts)
(knuckles rapping)
(door latch clicks)
Hello?
Hello, I'm Jill Jones with
Child Protective Services.
- Mm-hmm.
- Here's some paperwork
for your review.
What is this?
Derek,
let's not make this
harder than it has to be.
Caden told me about the gun
incident the other night.
You brought a gun to their room!
For the kids' sake,
we can do this the easy way
or the hard one.
But why this?
You couldn't call before
you came over here, Lenny.
You know all the stuff the
kids' been going through lately.
You're a disgrace, degenerate,
murdering son of a bitch, aren't ya?
Dad?
What's going on?
Baby, um...
You gonna be staying with
your granddad for a while?
Go upstairs and pack your bag, please.
But why are there people with him?
Are they taking us?
Why don't they believe us?
I don't know why they're
doing this, sweetheart.
But you'll be okay, I promise, okay?
- But I don't wanna go.
- I know.
Please, don't let them take us, Daddy.
I know. I know.
Listen, as long as you're safe, okay?
And that's what's most
important right now.
I love you so much, baby, all right?
I need you to be brave
until I figure all this
stuff out, alright?
Okay, Daddy.
(pensive music)
You see what you're doing to us, man?
Why would you do this right now?
I cannot wait
until they lock your ass up
under the jail.
(pensive music)
Bye, Daddy.
(pensive music continues)
(door creaking)
(fist thudding)
(solemn music)
Bro, I'm so exhausted, man.
I matched everybody back from the footage
that we had got back
to their real identity,
except three people,
including a Black lady
that got off back at Arlington.
Damn.
Man, I thought for sure
we'd find something.
[Derek] Yeah, me too.
Maybe she didn't take the bus after all.
Maybe she didn't leave town.
Maybe she didn't take the bus.
Maybe she over there hiding.
Mm.
She could be in Wuhan, China by now?
No, she in the US
because she want me to join her.
Yeah.
Did you ever run that footage I gave you
from, uh, from her memorial?
What footage? What memorial?
I pulled some footage near the memorial
where the other soldiers
in her unit are buried.
Uh-huh?
Figured it might be worth a shot.
Hmm.
Did you email it to me?
Yeah.
Let me check that out.
(keyboard clacking)
Oh yeah, I got it right here.
[Amir] Hmm.
Bro, this is like a few
hours worth of surveillance.
But I can start on it now
and, um, see what we
come up with by tomorrow.
Alright.
Alright, I'll see you then.
Alright, man, I appreciate you, bro.
(computer beeping)
Wait.
[Derek] Hmm?
Was that a match already?
(computer beeping)
(tense music)
Oh.
That's Sloan right there, man.
Two days after she leave town,
she couldn't resist not
paying her respects.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, we got her.
Man, we got her punk ass.
Hell, yeah.
Hell, yeah.
New evidence is being
reported in the Culver case.
Cameras spotted detectives
meeting with Derek Culver today.
Culver looks happy.
Has he found evidence of Redding?
Time will tell.
Bullshit.
Ow.
Ow.
Ow. Ow.
(Sloan panting)
(Sloan moaning)
(Sloan panting)
(solemn music)
(Sloan sighs)
(people chattering)
(door slams)
(tense music)
Hmm.
This is good.
Okay.
It's real good, just...
[Derek] Mm-hmm?
You know, we still have to run it
through our system, okay?
Authenticate it.
Make sure everything checks out, okay?
What do you mean, Park?
She's right there.
[Park] I know.
Don't you think we need
to go get some people
to go find her?
You didn't happen to
generate these yourself,
did you, doc?
Generate?
Yeah, I mean, my son
can type on a chatbot
and come up with better results.
You can't even tell it's her.
Park, what are we doing?
Come on, man.
We're wasting time.
She's out there.
Like, you do understand
why we'd be skeptical, Derek?
So just let us do our jobs
And cut the shit part,
tell him the truth.
You need to get a nice suit
'cause those charges are coming soon.
What is she talking about?
Just a little more time, okay?
[Meyers] If I were you, I
wouldn't leave the country
for a while.
(pensive music)
[Sloan] You want me to
put it in my mouth for you?
[Abe] Yeah, just like that.
(gentle music)
[Trish] Dear Mary, my name
is Trish, and I'm 19 years old.
I work at UPS with Abe.
We've been seeing each
other for some time now,
and I wasn't gonna reveal myself,
but the guilt is too much to bear.
And you have every right to know.
I'm leaving for college now,
so you don't need to worry about nothing,
but I can't hold onto this vile secret
in my spirit any longer.
God has compelled me to speak the truth.
I recorded one of our encounters,
and I'm sorry for the
pain this will cause,
but you need to hear it, Mary.
Please believe me,
I never meant to hurt you like this.
So, you want me to do the
thing she won't for you, huh?
You want me to put it in my mouth for you?
[Abe] Yeah, just like that.
[Trish] Am I doing it right?
Like this?
(Abe moaning)
(pensive music)
(Mary sobbing)
(pensive music continues)
(Mary crying)
(pensive music continues)
(Mary sobbing)
[Monica] So they thought
you were the one using a deep fake.
That's bullshit.
Yeah, I still can't believe it.
You said they're bringing charges?
But they don't have enough evidence.
They must have eyes on you.
What the fuck?
[Monica] What?
I got another letter.
[Monica] Okay, o-open it, what's it say?
What is it?
The hell Is this, a compass?
[Monica] What the hell is she up to now?
"You lost this sea in choppy waters.
I'm the only-"
[Derek and Sloan] Safe shore-
[Sloan] You have.
I disappeared and I can
help you disappear with me.
We'll be together and
they'll never find us.
Come to me.
"There's a map waiting
for you in the ship.
Sail to me, captain.
"Sail to me."
[Monica] My God.
That sounds insane.
Bro, whatever you do, be careful.
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
(gravel crunching)
(slow tense music)
(hatch slams)
(slow tense music continues)
(hood slams)
Is it?
(Derek grunting)
(compass beeping)
(grim music)
(grim music continues)
(compass beeping)
(grim music continues)
(shovel thudding)
(grim music continues)
(box creaks)
(grim music continues)
[Sloan] Everything you need
to sail to me is in here,
a new identity, passport,
everything you need to disappear.
I can't give you my exact location,
so each compass will
lead you to another one
until we're finally reunited again.
So take the gun, leave the cannoli.
P.S. I left you an important parting gift
so you're not tempted to go back.
Check the ground beneath the box.
(tense music)
What the f...
(Derek screams)
(jarring music)
No. Ma!
I'm, I'm so sorry, Ma.
(pensive music)
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
No, I'm sorry.
No, no, no.
Culver, freeze, alright?
Put your hands up.
Put them up.
It's not what it look like.
Put your hands up.
Don't move.
Freeze! Culver.
Okay, okay, it's not what it look like.
Don't move.
Put your hands on your head.
Don't move.
Culver!
Stop, stop, stop, nowhere to run.
Get down.
Get the fuck down!
- Okay, okay, okay.
- Come on.
What is this, huh?
[Derek] It's not what it looked like.
Bullshit!
Culver, you've been playing us.
[Derek] No, I haven't.
We're taking you in, okay?
You understand?
I don't wanna shoot you, Culver.
Alright?
- Okay.
You're fucking with us, alright?
Got me back.
(tense music)
If you are guilty of a murder,
why would you go back to
the scene of the crime
and dig up the body?
Why would you, if you
are guilty of a murder
and you are the lead suspect,
go back to the scene of the
crime to dig up the body?
My brothers and sisters,
something ain't right.
I smell, I smell Caucasian collusion.
Do you understand me?
This ain't right.
Even this brother who fell
for this pale, snow bunny
mail lady's flat, chapped cookies
ain't dumb enough to know that
the police are watching him
and go back to the scene of
the crime to dig up the body.
He's just not that dumb.
I smell Caucasian collusion.
Do you understand me?
Something ain't right.
Something ain't right.
But this brother is finished.
It doesn't matter if it ain't right
'cause this brother is
finished, do you hear me?
It doesn't matter if it ain't right.
This brother is finished.
In white America, he'll
never see the light of day.
He will never see the light
of day in white America.
Do you understand me?
Unless this snow devil
decides to pop herself back up
and change her mind, this brother is done
all because he couldn't resist
the snow devil's cookies.
All because he couldn't resist
that pale buffalo meat
of that white woman.
All right, ladies,
now we're gonna talk about
mock birth in the pools.
There are many different
positions to give birth in,
but the best one is a yoga squat
because it helps to open the pelvis
as well as gravity helping
to pull the baby down.
And we'll practice it like this.
(Mary crying)
Mary?
Oh, Mary, what, what, what's wrong?
It's Abe.
I, you know, I told
him that I'd forgive him
if you just admit it.
He just keeps lying.
I, I'm so sorry.
You know, how can you really move forward
if he won't come clean about things?
I just, I just gotta get
away from him right now.
But
it's his house
and, um, my mom's all the way in Savannah.
And if I, if I go to her, then
I have to tell her the truth.
Well, why don't you
just tell her the truth?
What are you afraid of?
'Cause, 'cause if I, if I tell her,
and then she'll say, "Oh, I told you
not to trust one of them."
Ugh, and I...
You know, I really, really
want Abe to make this right.
- Yeah.
- But
he just won't tell the truth.
You know what?
I think you should stay
with me for a little while.
Yeah, you know, I think
you need a little break.
And I've got all the room
in the house, you know,
with Derek being gone,
and I think it might be
a well deserved vacation
away from Abe for a little while.
- Oh.
- What do you think?
You, you'd do that for me?
Oh, but of course.
You are my best friend
and I wouldn't let you
go through this alone.
Thank you.
- Of course.
- Thank you, Carmen.
I'd love that.
Me too.
[Mary] Thank you, thank you.
Me too.
(tense music)
We're gonna have some fun.
[Mary] Yeah.
(solemn music)
[Monica] So, did you
hear back from your friend?
Talking about Amir?
[Monica] Yeah.
Nothing.
We tracked her down to a single county.
It's called Veridia County.
It's in the Carolinas.
[Monica] Yeah.
She was there like six months ago.
No clue where she is now.
Oh, God.
Sis,
they're trying to have me do a plea deal,
25 to life.
Wait, what?
Are you gonna sign it?
I got one more lifeline.
(solemn music)
They didn't tell you.
Tell me what?
(solemn music)
Sis,
tell me what?
They're doing it today.
What you talking about?
They're pulling the plug on Renee.
Sorry.
- No.
They can't do that.
(solemn music)
I'm so sorry.
(Monica sniffling)
Derek, I'm sorry.
Derek, I'm sorry.
(solemn music)
Dear Lord,
we are gathered here today
to place her name in Your hands.
She was a bright light
in all our lives,
a, a loving daughter
and mother.
(solemn music)
She can rest easy
knowing that we found
justice for her killer.
(solemn music)
(Lenny crying)
Ah.
(solemn music)
And our babies will be
born so close to each other.
They'll grow up like siblings.
They're always gonna have each other
just like us.
Mary.
Oh, I am so blessed that I met you.
You truly have helped me so, so much.
(Mary murmuring)
(tense music)
(knuckles rapping)
(tense music continues)
Hi, Abe.
Oh.
What's going on?
I've been such a good girl.
(tense music)
(door slams)
(tense music continues)
I'm sorry it's had to come to this.
I mean, you can read that 10 times over,
it's not gonna change.
25 to life is about the best
you're going to get here.
It's time.
Ma'am, stop, ma'am, you
cannot not go in there.
Get off of me!
Derek, please, Derek,
no, don't, don't sign it.
Don't sign it.
You can beat this.
(birds squawking)
[Both] Mommy!
[Renee] Oh, my baby.
I missed you so much.
I missed you too.
[Lenny] Mom's gonna take some time
to get her strength back.
(Lenny chuckling)
- Are you okay?
- Yes, Mommy's okay.
I promise I'll be home soon, okay?
[Lenny] Alright.
Ah, ah.
Now I need you both to
go back out in the lobby
with your Auntie Monica.
[Grace And Caden] Okay.
- I love you.
- I love you, Mom.
Bye, bye, bye.
(Lenny sighs)
I'm sorry that they're
doing it this way, baby girl.
Just try to remember what you can.
Now you remember that you woke
up last night and we talked.
Yeah, I, I remember that.
Okay.
What's the last thing that
you remember before going out?
Do you remember getting shot?
Ah, Derek...
Derek was...
And then Sloan...
Yes?
What happened, baby?
Derek was mad.
Why did he shoot you?
What did he do with Sloan?
Derek
shot me?
And,
and,
and then I, I killed Sloan.
You
killed Sloan?
I, I, I tried to, but she got back up.
She, she got back up and
her face was painted all red
and...
You tried to kill her?
I thought she was dead, but she wasn't.
Where's Derek?
Is he okay?
Where's Ma? She had Ma's phone.
She-
Wait, wait, baby.
Baby, wait.
First answer me this.
Why did Derek shoot you?
What?
No, Derek didn't shoot me, Sloan did.
Did you get her?
Where is Ma?
Where's Derek?
Can somebody please tell
me what happened, please?
Your husband is okay.
But your mom...
- No.
- Your mom...
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No. (Sobbing)
I'm so sorry, baby girl.
I'm so sorry.
No! (Sobbing)
(pensive music)
(birds chirping)
[Abe] Hey, Ma.
Sorry I've been missing your calls.
(eggs sizzling)
Mary and I up and went out of town
to a cabin to rekindle.
The signal was spotty.
(light suspenseful music)
We will be back down to have her at birth
at home in a few days.
(light suspenseful music)
Check out our Facebook.
We'll be posting updates there.
[Abe] Check out our Facebook.
We'll be posting updates there.
(light suspenseful music)
(Sloan sighs)
(timer pings)
(Sloan sighs)
(eggs sizzling)
Hm.
(Sloan sighs)
(Sloan sighs)
(door creaking)
(ominous music)
(Abe mumbling)
(Mary mumbling)
(ominous music)
(Abe and Mary mumbling)
Good morning, lovebirds.
How'd you sleep?
(Abe and Mary mumbling)
(ominous music)
(Mary mumbling)
I made us breakfast.
Well, breakfast for you and the baby,
but for you...
(Mary mumbling)
Oh, I have something real special planned
for you this morning.
(Mary mumbling)
It's the least I can do for
all that I put you through.
(Abe mumbling)
Oh, look, he's waking up.
Oh, don't fight, okay?
(Abe mumbling)
You shouldn't feel ashamed
for the things that you truly want.
And I think that every man
should experience this at least once
in their lives.
(Mary sobbing)
(Abe crying)
(Mary sobbing)
(Abe moaning)
(water splashing)
(Sloan gasps)
Mary.
Oh, my God, your water broke.
Oh, how exciting.
(Mary crying)
(ominous music)
[Abe] Mary.
[Mary] Help, please someone help me!
Mary, hold on, I'll be right there.
(Mary mumbling)
Oh, my God, I'm so excited.
(Mary whimpering)
Okay.
(Abe mumbling)
Please, Carmen, I need a doctor.
No, you don't need a doctor, Mary.
You just need to breathe.
Breathe and deliver this
beautiful baby into the world.
Come on, just like we practiced in class.
You are a fierce mama.
(Abe mumbling)
Abraham, shut up!
You are not going anywhere.
Who the fuck are you?
Alright, you just need to calm down.
I need to get you some more pain pills.
I-I'll be right back.
(Abe mumbling)
Help me!
I'm gonna die here.
(Abe mumbling)
I'm gonna die here.
(Abe mumbling)
(tense music)
[Sloan] Okay, come on, Mama.
You got this.
Fuck you, you psychotic fuck!
Oh, here he comes, here he comes.
Oh, one more push, Mary, one more.
(Mary screaming)
(baby crying)
Oh, Mama's here.
(baby crying)
Oh, you're safe now, baby.
You're safe now.
(baby crying)
Please let me hold my baby, please.
[Sloan] Shh.
(Abe mumbling)
Carmen.
(baby crying)
Carmen.
Carmen.
This isn't your baby, Mary.
He belongs to me.
(tense music)
(Abe mumbling)
You have your own fucking baby!
(tense music)
I did have my own baby, Mary.
[News Anchor] Culver looks happy.
Has he found evidence of Redding?
Time will tell.
Bullshit.
(Sloan panting)
Ow. (Moans)
The life inside of me was such a blessing
that I started to have faith.
Faith that I could experience love too.
Ow.
Ow.
I should have known better.
No, no, no, no.
The pain kept coming
back over and over again.
(Sloan mumbling)
Oh.
No amount of faith would change my fate.
Ow.
Every time I love something or someone,
it's taken away from me
in the most brutal way
that God could imagine.
No, please, don't do this.
It is my baby. (Crying)
But he's gone now.
And now
I need yours
because that's the only way
that I'm going to get him back.
No, you can't have him, he's mine!
He's mine! (Crying)
(baby crying)
Mary.
He's mine now.
Help, please, someone help!
(baby crying)
Help!
Please, somebody help me.
Help!
(ominous music)
(cars whooshing)
(baby crying)
That's better.
(baby crying)
They'll be here soon.
They're always watching.
We have to go.
Baby, we really have to go.
(Abe mumbling)
I just need
one more thing.
(baby crying)
(tense music)
(cloth package rustling)
(tense music)
You're gonna be safe now, I promise.
(tense pulsating music)
(poignant music)
[Derek] Thank you, Lord,
for giving us this miracle
and having mercy for us.
By waking up Renee, You
gave us both agency.
But we know that there's
evil out there still lurking.
(baby crying)
(gas lever thuds)
(serene music)
(timer beeps)
(serene music continues)
We will use this gift, the
strength You've given us
to fight for those who can't.
(baby cries)
It's gonna be okay.
You have each other
and
you have God.
(tense music)
(baby gurgling)
(Abe mumbling)
(baby gurgling)
I'll place a tip call in
once Derek and I are in a safe place.
God bless the both of you.
(baby gurgling)
(Abe mumbling)
(baby crying)
(Abe mumbling)
(Mary sobbing)
This miracle, this second chance,
it's a sign to fight.
We can't let the devil win.
(tense eerie music)
[Mary] The gas!
(Mary mumbling)
(Abe mumbling)
[Derek] We will be
Your instruments, Lord,
Your warriors against the darkness.
Shh, shh, shh.
(baby crying)
It's okay.
(tense eerie music)
(Mary sobbing)
[Abe] Mm-mm!
(Mary crying)
(Abe mumbling)
I love you.
(slow tense music)
Devils who prey on the innocent,
they twist and corrupt, seeking
to destroy all that is good.
(alarm beeping)
(explosion booming)
(alarms blaring)
(tense eerie music)
(alarms blaring)
We will hunt them down
in Your name.
Mommy's here.
(intense eerie music)
(maniac laughing)
(baby wailing)
(soaring ominous music)
I knew it, I knew it, I knew it.
See, I told y'all that
this brother was innocent,
innocent of murder, but guilty
of being a snow bunny hopper.
Innocent of murder, but guilty
of being a snow bunny hopper.
Sweet baby Jesus
woke up his African
almond cocoa butter queen
from that coma just in time
to save his snow bunny hopping hide.
Sweet baby Jesus
woke up his African almond
cocoa butter queen wife
from that coma to save his
snow bunny hopping hide.
You understand what I'm saying here?
Now, we need to find out
where this mal lady is
because I hear that
she's armed and dangerous
and also has been
pregnant by this brother.
Hm.
Sweet Jesus, Lord have mercy.
(poignant music)
(poignant music continues)
(poignant music continues)
