Twilight Ride (2023) Movie Script
(reel spinning)
(wind blowing)
(gravel crunching)
(gun shot fires)
(soft music)
I wrote you a letter
Explaining the ocean of you
How it parted into the
waters of the unknown
The open blue
Well, I was anchored,
I was hidden down
I was swaying, but I was
sound about the truth
And you were floating on the dancing
Shattered impression of the moon
Oh, describe to me that
feeling of breathing in
And seeing the only
place you've ever loved
I know 'cause I've been sinking
Into the depths of you from being
The only thing I can think of
I
I
(light music)
(patron speaking unintelligibly)
What's your poison?
Ginger ale.
Sure.
(light music)
You're a Lacey, right?
Chris's brother?
Yeah.
You guys friends?
I know who he is.
Everybody knows everybody
around here, right?
Wouldn't happen to know
where he is, would you?
No,
sorry.
So if you were me,
where would you start?
(door creaking)
Derek? It's been a fucking minute, man.
How you been?
- Doing all right.
- Yeah.
You probably know why I'm here.
Shit, yeah, man.
I heard.
Chris ran away from home
like a lost puppy, huh?
Yeah.
Can't imagine why though.
You heard anything?
Nah.
He seemed good the last time I saw him.
When was that?
What are you, a detective now?
Nah man, I'm just trying to find him.
Talked to him a couple
weeks ago and he was fine.
I don't know what to think.
Maybe he took off like you did.
I told Chris I was leaving,
and that was different.
You didn't tell anyone else though.
You left a lot of
disappointing folk behind, man.
I think most people around
here were glad to be rid of me.
One less Lacey, right?
Nah man, nah.
I don't know about all that.
Well I gotta bounce.
Need anything?
No, thanks man, I'm good.
Well if you do,
you know where to reach me
and I'll hook you up for old time sake.
[Derek] Thanks.
(light music)
(knocking on door)
- Howdy.
- Oh shit.
Oh shit man.
I didn't mean to hit him that hard.
Guess I don't know my own strength.
Must have been all those
years playing T-Ball as a kid.
T-ball is for pussies.
Hey, what's your problem with T-ball?
Did you really think
I wouldn't have someone waiting
at the back door for you?
You really are as stupid as they say.
[Criminal] Fuck you pig.
You're making my dick hard.
Get up!
Get up!
(uneasy music)
(gate creaking)
(uneasy music continues)
Got in last night and couldn't
even come see your mother.
[Derek] How'd you know I was here?
A little bird flew through
the window and told me.
Is that how you found
out Chris was gone?
A little bird?
No, a friend of mine knocked
on the door and told me.
[Derek] Surprised you
were able to answer it.
What are you doing here?
I'm worried about him.
Chris never just takes off like this.
I take it you don't
know where he is either?
Nope.
That boy's all kinds of fucked up
because of you.
His big brother left him all alone.
Right.
Everything's always my fault.
So what else is new?
Power ain't working.
Probably need to pay the bill.
That'd be my guess.
You always were a smartass.
You want a line?
[Derek] No.
You sure?
I won't charge ya for it.
How kind of you.
No.
Suit yourself.
I've got some things to take care of.
If you hear anything about
Chris, could you let me know?
Sure.
I'll send a pigeon.
(uneasy music continues)
Afternoon, beautiful.
Good afternoon.
You and Gordo take down another one.
Yep.
They're like dandelions.
Rip one out, got two more
popping up the next week.
What did this one do?
Little bastard swiped a pile of booze
from Frank's Liquor store last week.
Oh, that was him?
Serves him right.
Oh, and I had some paperwork.
- Excuse me.
I was wondering who I could talk to about
reporting a missing person.
I'll take care of it.
Just follow me.
So I presume you're here to
report your brother missing.
Yeah.
How'd you figure that?
Well, you've been gone
for quite some time,
coming back into town to
report a missing person,
I assume it's a family member.
And your mother with her
chemical habits isn't too mobile.
Makes sense.
So you haven't heard anything,
any idea where he could be?
I was gonna ask you the same thing.
I mean it's no secret in town
that Chris likes to get high.
Maybe he finished his oxy off
and went out to get some more.
Well that definitely didn't happen.
Definitely.
Why not?
Because I know three
or four people in town
who he could have got it from.
I've only been here a day
and I've already been
offered discount drugs.
Interesting.
Care to mention any names?
It's not the reason I'm here.
Listen,
let's get you to fill out that form.
We'll get your brother in the system
and if you have any questions or concerns
you can just let me know.
Sure, thanks.
(soft music)
Kate?
What's for dinner?
[Kate] I'm making casserole.
Be ready in about half an hour.
Ah, casserole.
Hey.
How was your day?
[Marshall Lloyd] Like any other.
You taste like orange juice
and yet I don't see a glass anywhere.
Well detective it maybe
is in the dishwasher.
I bet it is.
Remember Derek Lacey?
Showed up at the police station today.
Really?
In cuffs?
No, he's,
seemed to have cleaned himself up a bit.
He was asking about his brother.
[Kate] What about him?
Apparently he's missing.
Is that really unusual
for a Lacey though?
No.
It's only unusual for
a clean and sober Lacey
to show up at a police
station speaking coherently.
So what did you tell him?
We'd fill out the
missing person's report.
I'd let him know if I heard anything.
There's only so much I can say.
Not gonna tell him
his brother's probably
in a ditch somewhere.
(light music)
(phone vibrating)
Hello?
[Marshall] Derek, it's Marshall.
Whereabouts are you right now?
Who is this?
[Marshall] It's Detective Lloyd.
We spoke yesterday at the station.
Right.
What's going on?
[Marshall] Got some news
in regards to your brother.
(light music continues)
What happened to him?
We found his body on a farm
about an hour outside of town.
And the initial conclusion is suicide.
Suicide, how?
It was a gunshot wound to the head.
We also found some needles
and some small bags of heroin on him.
And those, those might have
been contributing factors.
That doesn't make any fucking sense.
Chris never touched heroin.
Derek, it's possible
you didn't know Chris
as well as you thought you did.
Maybe you didn't fucking know him.
He's my brother.
I know he wasn't shooting up heroin.
I'm just telling you the facts I have.
I'm sorry, Derek, I really am.
(quiet music)
[Derek] Nice place.
Yeah, it's a little rough, but
police don't fuck around with it.
So I do most of my business from here.
Is there something you needed
or you just need to take a load off?
I just need to know a few
more things about Chris.
[Sully] I wish I could help you,
but I told you everything I know.
Humour me.
I know you hung out with
him sometimes, right?
Yeah, from time to time.
[Derek] Who else did he run with?
The usual,
the guys you already know.
Was he shooting up heroin
when you were with him?
- What?
- Was he fucked up a lot?
What kinda shit was he into?
I don't know.
What the fuck do you
think I am, his diary?
I don't know what he was doing.
We got high from time to time,
but nothing heavy like that.
Never bought heroin off you or coke?
[Sully] No.
Never?
Never.
You're not lying to me, are you?
Yo, I've known you all my life.
Why would I lie to you about this shit?
Chris was my friend and if I
knew some shit, I'd tell you.
Well, apart from you,
I don't know where anyone
would get heroin in this town.
Man, why keep going on
about this heroin dog?
They found his body with
needles and some heroin on him.
But I've never known Chris to shoot up.
I'm pretty much the
only game in town, man.
If someone else was selling, I'd know.
At least I hope I would.
(phone vibrating)
Gotta take this.
Business.
(phone vibrating)
Sully?
Hey Sully.
(uneasy music)
(tense music)
(gun shot fires)
(tense music continues)
(gun shots firing)
(tense music continues)
(gun shots firing)
(tense music continues)
(gun shot fires)
(Derek breathing heavily)
(soft music)
[Waitress] Hey, Marshall.
Can I get you anything?
[Marshall] Just a coffee,
with a little bit of milk, thanks.
You still okay?
I'm good, thanks.
Hear anything about those two guys
we found at the crack
house on Mill Street?
No, what happened?
A little bit of a shootout.
Two dead bodies in the house.
Yeah, I've had a few things
go down there in the past, but
nothing that went quite this sour.
Look, if you need help,
you gotta talk to me.
I'll do what I can.
But if I find out you're involved in this,
two dead bodies,
you're the one I'm gonna be investigating.
Derek, you're gonna get
yourself arrested or killed.
Don't gotta worry about that.
Look, I don't wanna
get a phone call tonight
that another Lacey's dead because
he's chasing after his
brother's non-existent killer.
It was a suicide, Derek.
That's it.
Oh, you don't want to get that call?
[Marshall] No, I don't.
Then stop making me do your job for you.
Or keep your fucking phone off.
(light music)
[Waitress] There you go, Marshall.
Guess I'm buying his.
(light music continues)
Fuck.
(uneasy music)
(rap music)
Everything happened, you heard
Then it get back to the groove
Watching
(artist singing indistinctly)
Basement
You can afford my arrangement
(artist singing indistinctly)
Word on the beat
(artist singing indistinctly)
Had to get back to the basics
(artist singing indistinctly)
Nothing to do, scare
Seen it before, I know that
(artist singing indistinctly)
What you been trying to prove
Holding your wink and a clue
(artist singing indistinctly)
[Derek] Ginger ale?
Sure.
(rap music continues)
Ready to go, ready to go
Ready to go, ready to blow
Ready to go, ready to blow
Ready to go, ready to blow
Ready to go, ready to blow
Ready to go
You come here a lot?
It's 50 for a half hour
and if you blow in 10
minutes, you get no change.
How about I ask you a
couple of questions instead
and if you give me some good information,
I'll pay you the 50?
And don't worry, I won't ask for change.
What do you wanna know?
I'm trying to figure out
what happened to Chris Lacey.
Did you know him?
Chris Lacey?
Yeah.
That faggot killed himself at some farm
up near Sherman's Creek.
Why don't you give me that 50 bucks?
That faggot?
Did you and him have some issues?
He was a pussy, man.
Who gives a shit about
Chris Lacey anyways?
Get him outta here!
Ready to go, ready to blow
Ready to go, ready to go
Ready to go
(Derek groaning)
(soft music)
So what's going on with
those two dead hoodlums?
Any leads yet?
We're working on it.
I know you're working on
it, but what's the latest?
Have you found Sully Barnes yet?
Dad, you're retired.
You don't have to keep trying
to solve my cases for me.
Yes, I'm retired,
but that doesn't mean I
can't still be useful.
I'm fine, thanks.
Let's just leave work at work,
shall we?
[Robert Lloyd] I'm not trying
to undermine anyone here.
(phone vibrating)
Who's that?
Just Gordo.
So much for leaving work at work.
About the case?
Maybe.
He just said it's important
and he wants me to meet him.
Is it okay if I just step
out for a little bit?
You're gonna go anyway, right?
[Marshall] It could be important.
All right.
Thanks babe.
(soft music)
It took you long enough.
I was in the middle of
dinner with my family.
And your daughter's not your family?
My real family.
Okay, so you're still an asshole, I see.
What do you want?
Kate thinks I'm out with
Gordo right now, so?
How do you plan on keeping this a secret
from her for the rest of your life?
It, it's a small town, Marshall
and people are gonna
start talking eventually.
No they won't.
What's there to talk about?
There's no evidence that Zoe's my kid.
You coming here,
bringing me money,
sneaking in my backyard.
Resemblance maybe?
It might be easy for you
to keep her distance when she's a baby.
But I mean, what are you
gonna do when she's grown up
and she lives five minutes down the road?
I'll live.
- Okay.
- As usual,
you're gonna find some other asshole
and he can be her dad.
Fuck you.
That's bullshit.
That's bullshit.
You may be an asshole
but I know you have a heart
and you wouldn't be able to stomach
passing your daughter in the street
knowing she knows you
as some douche bag cop.
Look, I didn't ask for this, okay?
You wanted to have the kid.
This mess is on you.
I give you money so you
can keep your mouth shut.
You can do whatever the
fuck you want with it.
Why don't you help
me keep my mouth shut?
What do you want?
A couple hundred should do.
I've got 50 bucks on me.
[Eva] No, a couple hundred should do.
Don't be fucking ridiculous.
Oh, ridiculous?
Oh no, okay.
I can be ridiculous.
What does that mean?
I'll just, you know, ask
Kate for the money, so.
Yeah, that's what you'll do.
And cut off your one source of income.
Yeah, it's called
child support, asshole.
Gimme the phone.
Gimme the,
gimme the fucking phone!
I've got 50 bucks on me, okay?
I will get you more tomorrow.
(uneasy music)
Turn around.
Don't you fucking dare.
I'm not here to kill you, motherfucker.
If I was, the back of your head
would be in that cupboard right now.
I swear, I don't know
what happened to Chris.
Don't feed me that shit.
How'd I find myself on the opposite end
of two trigger men the other night?
And you were conveniently
nowhere to be found.
I don't know those guys, man.
I'm telling you.
I'm not buying it!
Now to make sure you
don't do anything stupid
like last time,
toss your phone and your piece over here.
(footsteps)
[Sully] Hey.
What you doing daddy?
Nothing, we're just having a snack.
Can we have a snack too?
Sure.
Just make sure it's quick, okay?
Come on.
Is that necessary?
The last time I was with you,
you tried to have me killed.
You need to start talking.
- What do you want to know?
- Everything.
Who were those two guys?
[Sully] I don't know their names.
Work for the same guy I do.
And who's that?
I ain't no snitch.
You can tell me, Sully.
Vlad.
Vlad?
- Yeah.
- Last name?
I don't know, something fucking Russian.
Everyone calls him Vlad.
And why would this Vlad guy want me dead
or were they there for you, Sully?
No, I'm pretty sure
he was there to off you.
Just don't know why.
Bullshit.
Man, I swear on my kid's life, man.
What, you've been away for four years.
I don't know how the fuck he
would even know who you are.
Clearly someone told him.
Maybe he thinks you gonna start selling.
You gonna step on his territory
and shit, I don't know.
Did Chris work for him too?
No.
Chris sold pot, nothing major.
Then Vlad killed Chris?
[Sully] What, I didn't say that.
Yes you did.
If he sends two guys to kill me
'cause he thinks I could
potentially sell on his turf,
then he sure as shit killed Chris
for actually selling on his turf.
Yo, that's your logic, not mine.
How do I find this guy?
He runs a club in the city.
The Blue Room?
Yeah, try there.
I already did.
Why do you think I look like this?
Where does he live?
Does he have a phone number?
He does all his business from the club.
And he calls me from burners
to set up some meetings.
But I can't get a hold
of him unless he calls.
You know what to do
when he calls then, right?
[Sully] What?
Tell him I wanna meet.
He doesn't want to meet you.
He wants you dead.
Think those two guys you killed
are the only employees he got?
And who you got rolling with you?
Huh?
Man, that ain't enough.
This may be a small town,
but he ain't small time.
His father's some Russian mobster, man.
Well, I'll have to be careful then.
Getting yourself killed
ain't gonna do shit for Chris, man.
Might help his reputation.
Maybe people look at him different.
If they know what really happened.
Man, who cares what other people think?
You knew the real Chris.
That's all that matters.
Sometimes I don't think I did.
Marshall.
Derek.
Should you be drinking?
Should you be fucking off?
I'm off duty.
I know who killed my brother.
[Marshall] Oh yeah?
Yeah, some Russian named Vlad.
And how did you come to
this conclusion, detective?
Because those two dead guys
you found the other night.
Apparently they thought
I was gonna be there.
They were sent there to kill
me on behalf of this Vlad guy.
I'm failing to see how this relates
to your brother's death.
Come on, put two and two together, man.
They killed Chris because he
was selling in their area.
Plain and simple.
You don't have to be a
master fucking detective
to figure it out.
Just do some real police work.
Fuck off Derek.
What do you want me to do?
Arrest some guy based
on a theory of yours.
Where do you come up with this shit?
Sully told me.
And he just spilled the beans?
Everything he told you,
anything he wanted to know?
He had some incentive.
That's useful evidence,
testimony forced out of a
drug dealer at gunpoint.
- It's the truth.
- It's useless.
So you're not even gonna pursue it?
I'm giving you a gift right here.
Let me tell you about gifts, Lacey.
My father worked in this
department for 30 years.
He basically helped
every single fucking person in this town.
And the year before his
retirement, his good friend Ray
from the autobody shop up on Yarmouth,
he decides to give my
dad a retirement gift.
This car my dad had his eye on.
And all of a sudden, all these people
used to be so thankful and appreciative
start calling this gift a fucking bribe.
Soon enough, that's all
anyone can talk about.
All the way up to the chief.
And where does that land my dad?
Out of a job,
out of a pension.
And now he's just a
jobless, penniless old man.
So you'll have to forgive me if I,
if I don't accept your gift today, Derek.
So you're not gonna look into this?
Look into what?
You are, you are lucky that
I put up with you this long.
You know why no one's ever
given your brother's suicide
a second thought?
Huh?
'Cause we were all basically just
counting down the days
for a low life drug dealer
from a family of fucking junkies...
A person's not their family.
Chris wasn't our fucking parents.
Do you understand that?
Why don't you look at
yourself for a second?
Are you your father?
Police captain Robert Lloyd
puts away the bad guys
and pretends to be an upstanding citizen.
Must have been tough
growing up with a mother
who was constantly walking into doors.
Watch your fucking mouth.
Is that who you are, Detective Lloyd?
Are you your father?
If you're not gonna look
into this, then I will.
[Vlad] Where the fuck have you been?
I've been trying to get a
hold of you for two days now.
I'm sorry man.
Lacey was looking for me.
I had to lay low.
[Vlad] I don't give a fuck
who was looking for you.
I was looking for you.
Who do you think is more dangerous?
Me or Lacey?
No, I'm sorry man.
I'm sorry.
But there's something I gotta tell you.
I told Lacey you sent
those two guys for him.
Yo, he was gonna kill
me in front of my kid.
I had to tell him.
[Vlad] What else
exactly did you tell him?
And hey, be honest with me.
(soft music)
[Marshall] Hey.
You're drunk.
(soft music continues)
I fucked, I fucked up.
(soft music continues)
Just
shit is so fucking crazy at work.
And I,
it seems like a million
things are going on.
You know, I.
I fucked up, okay?
Yeah, it's okay.
[Marshall] It's okay?
You get it, you know.
Yeah.
That's why I love you.
You know that, right?
You forgive me?
Maybe.
Maybe?
Yeah, maybe.
(soft music continues)
[Derek] Hey now.
Jesus Christ.
[Derek] This isn't where
you live, is it Marshall?
Did you follow me here?
[Derek] Does your wife
know what you do here?
- Get off my car.
- Or what?
You gonna arrest me?
Huh?
Cause a big scene so all the
neighbours come out and watch?
No.
You definitely don't want that.
What do you want?
I want you to do some
fucking police work.
Find this Vlad guy and make him talk.
Because if you don't want to do that,
then I might just have to talk.
Okay, I'll look up this Vlad guy.
Alright?
That's all I ask.
Drive safe, Marshall.
(engine starting)
("Cello Suite No. 1 in G major,

(gun shots firing)
("Cello Suite No. 1 in G major,
BWV 1007 I Prelude" by Bach)
(child crying)
Do it.
Come on Vlad, let's just go.
She's seen our faces.
I'm sorry.
I'll wait in the car.
(child crying)
(gun shot fires)
(child crying ceases)
(phone ringing)
Hello?
[Marshall] Hope you're
hiding someplace good.
What do you mean?
I mean I'm standing in
Sully's bedroom right now.
What happened?
He was shot multiple times
while lying in bed with his wife.
She's dead too.
What about the kid?
Also dead.
Listen, I'm gonna do some
digging on this Vlad guy.
I'll keep you informed.
I can't make any promises though.
Thank you.
(uneasy music)
Fuck.
We are looking for our friend.
Derek Lacey.
L-A-C-E-Y.
Could you tell us what
room he is in, please?
[Clerk] Lacey?
Oh yeah, Derek Lacey.
Room 112.
Just in the back over here.
Much appreciated.
[Person On TV] I hope
this doesn't become
a regular thing, all right?
(phone ringing)
Hello?
[Clerk] Mr. Lacey.
There are two men here looking for you.
Is one of them a cop?
[Clerk] I don't think so.
They were acting a little weird,
so I sent them to the wrong room.
Thank you.
(phone dialling)
(phone trilling)
Marshall, you need to get the fuck down
to the Casablanca right now.
There's two guys looking for me.
[Marshall] Okay?
Yeah, just, just sit tight.
We're like five minutes from there.
We'll be there soon, okay?
(uneasy music)
(phone ringing)
(tense music)
(sirens wailing)
Drop the fucking gun!
Show me your hands.
- Drop the guns.
- Hands!
Show me your fucking hands.
Turn around.
Turn around.
Hands behind your backs.
You here working for Vladimir Golovin?
Who?
Oh, you don't know who that is?
No, I only work for me.
And what do you pay yourself
in Twinkies and hand jobs?
Funny.
Derek, it's Marshall.
Coming in.
You look comfortable.
Another 30 seconds,
you would've had another
body to deal with.
Two, if I got really lucky.
You did get really lucky.
No bodies and now we
have someone to question
about your brother's death.
Not that they're gonna
give us anything, but.
Stick a gun in his face.
That usually works.
Well, not when you're a cop.
They tend not to think
you're gonna shoot them.
Did get some information
about our friend Vlad.
Oh yeah?
His last name and address.
Went by there earlier today.
Wasn't home.
So poked around, peeked in a few windows.
Not not sure anyone actually lives there.
Also went by the club,
he didn't show up either.
Where does he live?
Why, so you can show
up with your shotgun?
Yeah, I'll handle it, Derek.
So where do we go from here?
Where do we go?
I'm gonna continue my
investigation into Vlad.
I'm gonna find you a new place to hide.
You're not safe here anymore.
Do you mind if I ask you something?
[Marshall] Sure.
Why are you so eager to help me now?
Basically had to blackmail
you before to get you to help.
Now you're all about finding Vlad.
What changed?
Yesterday morning, I
saw a six-year-old girl
dead on her own bedroom floor,
still clutching a bloody teddy bear.
It made me think, you know, if I,
if I had my own daughter,
someone did something like that to her,
I'd do anything to get her justice.
Just like you're trying to
get justice for your brother.
Oh, hi there.
You are so precious.
How old is she?
She's just over two months.
She's so cute.
What's her name?
- Zoe.
That's a really pretty name.
I've been trying to get my husband
on the baby train for a while now.
He doesn't really seem interested.
Too busy, I guess.
Can be hard work.
Understandable.
I think if he saw Zoe here
though, he'd come around.
Travis.
Travis Anastos.
Anastos.
Anast,
Anastos.
That's, that's Greek, right?
Yeah.
Have you ever used one
of those escort services?
No.
Just between you and me, there's,
there's no one behind
the glass or anything.
I mean, come on, you're
not a very attractive guy.
You must have paid for companionship
at least once or twice.
No, I haven't.
Well, it's interesting,
these escort services
on their websites,
they let you know
what the different girls
will do, what they look like.
But they, they use this code
like DFK.
You know what that means?
[Travis] No.
Deep French kissing.
That sounds pretty nice, eh?
I bet you haven't had
some of that in a while.
What else, what else?
CMD.
Any guesses?
No.
Carpet matches drapes.
You know, hair colour.
- Hmm.
I don't know why anyone would
care about that, but that's,
that's just what it means, Travis.
But my personal favourite is
if they're willing to do Greek.
You must have some guesses on that, right?
Yeah, I got a couple guesses.
It means they'll let
you fuck em in the ass.
I gotta ask you as a, as a Greek man,
is that painful?
I mean, I can't imagine
putting anything in my asshole,
let alone some other guy's fat dick.
Fuck you.
[Marshall] Come on,
Travis, we're both men here.
Does it hurt?
I wouldn't know.
You will soon enough
when you're locked up
in county, won't you?
A few people there that'll
give you many lessons.
So how about this?
I'll come visit you in a few months
and we'll see if you have
any answers for me then.
I got a better idea.
Why don't you
get your partner
to shove his baton
right up your ass.
Then you'll have all the answers you need.
I mean, come on.
What is this?
I have a point here.
The point is you can
avoid some unpleasantness
if you just, if you just talk,
answer a few questions.
What do you have on me
that you can keep me in jail?
What do we have?
Well, you're carrying
an unregistered firearm.
That's a criminal of fence.
Then there's plenty of
property damage to the motel.
Threatening the motel clerk.
- Of course.
And then there's all
the cocaine we found.
Fuck off.
There wasn't any cocaine on me.
No, but in your car
there's quite a bit actually.
And that's probably good
for what, 10, 15 years?
A long time.
I mean, there's only like
20 cops in this town.
It's not like they're
not gonna listen to me.
I mean, I could let you go
free right now if I wanted.
What do you want?
Vladimir Golovin.
What about him?
Where does he live?
He has an apartment
over on King Street.
Sixth floor.
Alright, that's something.
That's something.
[Person On TV] I
think the baby's coming.
[Person On TV] What?
I see the powers back on.
Yep.
[Person On TV] Are you kidding me?
Do you mind if I ask you something?
You are gonna ask
either way, aren't you?
Who do you buy from?
What do you care?
Just curious.
I know Sully stopped selling
to you a long time ago.
I was gonna get some coke from him, but
he got killed the other day.
Really?
Yeah.
Some guys came into
his place and shot him.
No, I know he's dead.
I mean, you really gonna buy some coke?
Ah, come here.
Can you just tell me please?
Get over here.
The prodigal son returns.
Don't make a big deal outta this.
Just tell me his name.
A little line first.
It's okay, you go for it.
Come on.
Do one with your ma then I'll tell you,
Please don't do this to me.
[Norma] One line.
(Derek snorting)
[Norma] Attaboy.
What's his name?
One more and then I'll...
Fuck you.
[Norma] I promise.
One more and that's it.
If you don't, I'm gonna
dump that whole fucking bag
in the toilet.
[Norma] I promise.
(Derek snorting)
What's his info?
- It's on the fridge.
- Fuck.
His name and address are both there.
Kate.
Kate, it was a stupid mistake, okay?
It was an accident.
An accident?!
Fucking her multiple
times was an accident.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
[Kate] Don't!
What the fuck were you thinking!?
Do not fucking talk to her.
You talk to me.
I'm owed an explanation.
What do you want me to say?
I'm,
I'm a fucking idiot.
I fucked up.
I'm a piece of shit.
You know that, right?
I did, I don't know.
I just don't know what I can say
that's gonna make you
feel any better right now.
Why did you do this?
Why did you do this?
Marshall,
I loved you.
I cared about you.
I was here at the end of it every day.
Even when you were off
doing your police work,
I was the one who was fucking here.
So
I wanna know why.
I don't know, it just happened.
(Kate sobbing)
Kate.
- Don't fucking touch me.
Don't.
(Kate sobbing)
Are you happy now?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
You're pathetic.
Is this your idea of being a good mother?
Yeah?
Your life's so fucked up,
you have to fuck up everyone else's?
Listen, I don't want to,
look at me, look at me.
I don't want to hear from you
or see you anywhere near my fucking house
or my family, my real family.
Get the fuck outta my house.
(door slamming)
Fuck!
(solemn music)
(knocking on door)
Derek.
Jesus.
Derek.
Derek, wake up.
What's up?
What'd you do?
Nothing.
What'd you find out?
Nothing, forget it.
Wait, what'd you find out?
Found out you're a fucking junkie.
So why don't you stay with your mom
and do what you do best.
I'm coming with you.
No, I've had enough shit
for one day, all right?
Please.
Don't leave me here.
Okay, come on.
[Derek] Where are we going?
[Marshall] I'm taking
you a friend's place.
[Derek] I've got a lead on Vlad.
We should go there instead.
You need to get some rest.
It can wait till tomorrow.
He could be gone tomorrow.
Could be gone today.
We'll wait.
Go get some sleep.
Take care of yourself.
Tomorrow's gonna be a big day.
[Person On TV] One of the things
that they mentioned in the book...
(chips crunching)
You know what would be nice?
If you get some of those in your mouth.
Last time cleaning lady
had to clean up chip crumbs
from all over the fucking couch.
She's the cleaning lady, that's her job.
(chips crunching)
(TV playing in background)
(uneasy music)
- Vladmir Golovin?
- No.
Who the fuck are you?
Detective Marshall Lloyd.
Why don't I take a step inside?
Got a warrant?
I got a warrant
full of fuck you.
Why don't you show me around?
Got some ID I could see?
Ricky.
I am just gonna keep looking around, okay?
Officer, don't look around too much,
or we're gonna have to call the cops.
I am already here.
Just looking for your friend, Vlad.
Keep showing up to his houses.
He's never home.
That's unfortunate.
Next time you see him,
tell him Detective Lloyd
wouldn't mind having a word.
I have a few questions to ask him
about the murder of Christopher Lacey.
You wouldn't know anything
about that, would you?
No sir.
I didn't think so.
What's in that bag?
[Ricky] What bag?
The one you keep eyeballing back there?
That one?
Nothing, just school books and shit.
School books?
Well, well Ricky.
I love learning.
So would you mind if I took a look in,
flipped through some of them?
How about you take a seat on
the couch while I do that?
How about you take a seat on the couch
and sit on your fucking hands?
Yeah, nice and slow.
Nice and slow.
That's a lot of homework, Ricky.
[Ricky] Shit.
I'm gonna take this and
if Vlad wants it back,
he should gimme a call.
Detective Marshall Lloyd.
Okay, Ricky?
(uneasy music)
Fuck.
Hey,
what the hell are you doing?
Can't walk around the streets
carrying a fucking shotgun.
This is how I get answers.
I was just inside, he's not there.
So where to next?
The way I figure it,
he's only got so many places to hide.
So how about you and me
go check out his house.
If he's not there,
we'll go to the club.
Just you and me?
I don't know if you realize this,
but nobody else knows I'm helping you out.
They know I'm looking for Vlad,
but only in connection
to Sully and his family.
As far as the department's concerned,
your brother killed himself.
That's it.
Why don't you go check out the house?
I gotta grab a couple things
from my mom's before we go.
What things?
You got your trusty shotgun here.
What else could you need?
Don't worry about it.
Wait a sec.
Take this.
Take it,
just in case anything
happens between now and then.
Thank you.
Try to hide that fucking shotgun.
[Derek] Will do.
Where do you think you're going?
I've got things to do.
You score some blow?
[Derek] No.
Don't lie to me.
I'm not gonna take it all.
I just want a little bump.
I don't have any fucking coke.
I went to your dealer's place
to try and find the guy who killed Chris.
And, and did you find him?
I think I know where he is.
You kill that son of a bitch, Derek.
You show him what the Laceys are made of.
Get off of me.
Chris was nothing like you.
Neither am I.
(solemn music)
Derek, pick up.
(solemn music continues)
Fuck.
(solemn music continues)
[Derek] Police! Put your
hands where I can see 'em.
You're not the fucking police.
[Derek] I've got a shotgun
pointed at your face.
So get on the fucking ground.
(rap music)
No gun?
- No, nothing.
All right, stay put.
I got a friend watching the front door
to make sure no one else comes in here.
You make a move while I'm not looking,
he'll shoot you square in the face.
Got it?
- Got it.
White girl too
(artist singing indistinctly)
Where's Vlad?
Which one of us has a fucking gun?
- I'm not telling you shit.
- I'm not fucking around here.
Call of duty
(artist singing indistinctly)
He upstairs.
Right, get on the ground.
(artist singing indistinctly)
Police will be here any minute
so don't you fucking move.
RIP to Lottie J
And my brothers
(uneasy music)
Who is it?
It's Officer Marshall Lloyd.
Open up Vlad, it's over.
We know you killed Sully and Chris Lacey.
Bullshit.
Show me some ID.
[Derek] I'm gonna open the
door and toss my badge in
for you to look at, okay?
Okay.
(tense music)
I've been carrying this
around a week looking for you.
So you better fucking
believe I'm ready to use it.
Now, you're gonna tell me everything.
There's nothing to tell.
That was my fucking brother you killed.
Start talking.
- Please.
- Derek!
We've got him, okay.
Lower your weapon, let me take him in.
- Don't let him kill me.
- Shut up!
Don't talk to him.
You talk to me and only me.
Tell me what happened.
[Marshall] Put the gun down.
If you take another step closer,
you're gonna be cleaning
his head off the floor.
Tell me what happened.
You're going to kill me either way.
I'm gonna kill you right fucking now
if you don't answer me.
Derek enough.
Why'd you kill him?
Answer the fucking question!
Because he wouldn't sell.
[Derek] What do you
mean he wouldn't sell?
Everybody knows Chris was dealing.
He wouldn't sell our shit.
Coke, heroin.
He wouldn't sell it.
That's fucking it?
You think I run this whole thing?
I've got people I work for too.
And when Chris refused to work with us,
he was spiting in our faces.
My bosses told me to make
an example out of him.
So I did.
If I didn't,
I would be the one laying
dead in the fucking field.
An example?
You made a fucking example out of him?
Derek, come on.
Please.
I'm not a bad person.
I was protecting my own life.
Say it.
Say you killed him.
Say you fucking killed him.
I killed him.
[Derek] Louder.
I killed him!
I didn't have fucking choice.
Did you hear that, Marshall?
Loud and clear.
Now put down your gun
and let me arrest him.
You killed the only family I had left.
Do you have family?
Do you have family?
Yes.
Yes.
(tense music)
Good.
(gun shot fires)
(solemn music)
(soft music)
(wind blowing)
(gravel crunching)
(gun shot fires)
(soft music)
I wrote you a letter
Explaining the ocean of you
How it parted into the
waters of the unknown
The open blue
Well, I was anchored,
I was hidden down
I was swaying, but I was
sound about the truth
And you were floating on the dancing
Shattered impression of the moon
Oh, describe to me that
feeling of breathing in
And seeing the only
place you've ever loved
I know 'cause I've been sinking
Into the depths of you from being
The only thing I can think of
I
I
(light music)
(patron speaking unintelligibly)
What's your poison?
Ginger ale.
Sure.
(light music)
You're a Lacey, right?
Chris's brother?
Yeah.
You guys friends?
I know who he is.
Everybody knows everybody
around here, right?
Wouldn't happen to know
where he is, would you?
No,
sorry.
So if you were me,
where would you start?
(door creaking)
Derek? It's been a fucking minute, man.
How you been?
- Doing all right.
- Yeah.
You probably know why I'm here.
Shit, yeah, man.
I heard.
Chris ran away from home
like a lost puppy, huh?
Yeah.
Can't imagine why though.
You heard anything?
Nah.
He seemed good the last time I saw him.
When was that?
What are you, a detective now?
Nah man, I'm just trying to find him.
Talked to him a couple
weeks ago and he was fine.
I don't know what to think.
Maybe he took off like you did.
I told Chris I was leaving,
and that was different.
You didn't tell anyone else though.
You left a lot of
disappointing folk behind, man.
I think most people around
here were glad to be rid of me.
One less Lacey, right?
Nah man, nah.
I don't know about all that.
Well I gotta bounce.
Need anything?
No, thanks man, I'm good.
Well if you do,
you know where to reach me
and I'll hook you up for old time sake.
[Derek] Thanks.
(light music)
(knocking on door)
- Howdy.
- Oh shit.
Oh shit man.
I didn't mean to hit him that hard.
Guess I don't know my own strength.
Must have been all those
years playing T-Ball as a kid.
T-ball is for pussies.
Hey, what's your problem with T-ball?
Did you really think
I wouldn't have someone waiting
at the back door for you?
You really are as stupid as they say.
[Criminal] Fuck you pig.
You're making my dick hard.
Get up!
Get up!
(uneasy music)
(gate creaking)
(uneasy music continues)
Got in last night and couldn't
even come see your mother.
[Derek] How'd you know I was here?
A little bird flew through
the window and told me.
Is that how you found
out Chris was gone?
A little bird?
No, a friend of mine knocked
on the door and told me.
[Derek] Surprised you
were able to answer it.
What are you doing here?
I'm worried about him.
Chris never just takes off like this.
I take it you don't
know where he is either?
Nope.
That boy's all kinds of fucked up
because of you.
His big brother left him all alone.
Right.
Everything's always my fault.
So what else is new?
Power ain't working.
Probably need to pay the bill.
That'd be my guess.
You always were a smartass.
You want a line?
[Derek] No.
You sure?
I won't charge ya for it.
How kind of you.
No.
Suit yourself.
I've got some things to take care of.
If you hear anything about
Chris, could you let me know?
Sure.
I'll send a pigeon.
(uneasy music continues)
Afternoon, beautiful.
Good afternoon.
You and Gordo take down another one.
Yep.
They're like dandelions.
Rip one out, got two more
popping up the next week.
What did this one do?
Little bastard swiped a pile of booze
from Frank's Liquor store last week.
Oh, that was him?
Serves him right.
Oh, and I had some paperwork.
- Excuse me.
I was wondering who I could talk to about
reporting a missing person.
I'll take care of it.
Just follow me.
So I presume you're here to
report your brother missing.
Yeah.
How'd you figure that?
Well, you've been gone
for quite some time,
coming back into town to
report a missing person,
I assume it's a family member.
And your mother with her
chemical habits isn't too mobile.
Makes sense.
So you haven't heard anything,
any idea where he could be?
I was gonna ask you the same thing.
I mean it's no secret in town
that Chris likes to get high.
Maybe he finished his oxy off
and went out to get some more.
Well that definitely didn't happen.
Definitely.
Why not?
Because I know three
or four people in town
who he could have got it from.
I've only been here a day
and I've already been
offered discount drugs.
Interesting.
Care to mention any names?
It's not the reason I'm here.
Listen,
let's get you to fill out that form.
We'll get your brother in the system
and if you have any questions or concerns
you can just let me know.
Sure, thanks.
(soft music)
Kate?
What's for dinner?
[Kate] I'm making casserole.
Be ready in about half an hour.
Ah, casserole.
Hey.
How was your day?
[Marshall Lloyd] Like any other.
You taste like orange juice
and yet I don't see a glass anywhere.
Well detective it maybe
is in the dishwasher.
I bet it is.
Remember Derek Lacey?
Showed up at the police station today.
Really?
In cuffs?
No, he's,
seemed to have cleaned himself up a bit.
He was asking about his brother.
[Kate] What about him?
Apparently he's missing.
Is that really unusual
for a Lacey though?
No.
It's only unusual for
a clean and sober Lacey
to show up at a police
station speaking coherently.
So what did you tell him?
We'd fill out the
missing person's report.
I'd let him know if I heard anything.
There's only so much I can say.
Not gonna tell him
his brother's probably
in a ditch somewhere.
(light music)
(phone vibrating)
Hello?
[Marshall] Derek, it's Marshall.
Whereabouts are you right now?
Who is this?
[Marshall] It's Detective Lloyd.
We spoke yesterday at the station.
Right.
What's going on?
[Marshall] Got some news
in regards to your brother.
(light music continues)
What happened to him?
We found his body on a farm
about an hour outside of town.
And the initial conclusion is suicide.
Suicide, how?
It was a gunshot wound to the head.
We also found some needles
and some small bags of heroin on him.
And those, those might have
been contributing factors.
That doesn't make any fucking sense.
Chris never touched heroin.
Derek, it's possible
you didn't know Chris
as well as you thought you did.
Maybe you didn't fucking know him.
He's my brother.
I know he wasn't shooting up heroin.
I'm just telling you the facts I have.
I'm sorry, Derek, I really am.
(quiet music)
[Derek] Nice place.
Yeah, it's a little rough, but
police don't fuck around with it.
So I do most of my business from here.
Is there something you needed
or you just need to take a load off?
I just need to know a few
more things about Chris.
[Sully] I wish I could help you,
but I told you everything I know.
Humour me.
I know you hung out with
him sometimes, right?
Yeah, from time to time.
[Derek] Who else did he run with?
The usual,
the guys you already know.
Was he shooting up heroin
when you were with him?
- What?
- Was he fucked up a lot?
What kinda shit was he into?
I don't know.
What the fuck do you
think I am, his diary?
I don't know what he was doing.
We got high from time to time,
but nothing heavy like that.
Never bought heroin off you or coke?
[Sully] No.
Never?
Never.
You're not lying to me, are you?
Yo, I've known you all my life.
Why would I lie to you about this shit?
Chris was my friend and if I
knew some shit, I'd tell you.
Well, apart from you,
I don't know where anyone
would get heroin in this town.
Man, why keep going on
about this heroin dog?
They found his body with
needles and some heroin on him.
But I've never known Chris to shoot up.
I'm pretty much the
only game in town, man.
If someone else was selling, I'd know.
At least I hope I would.
(phone vibrating)
Gotta take this.
Business.
(phone vibrating)
Sully?
Hey Sully.
(uneasy music)
(tense music)
(gun shot fires)
(tense music continues)
(gun shots firing)
(tense music continues)
(gun shots firing)
(tense music continues)
(gun shot fires)
(Derek breathing heavily)
(soft music)
[Waitress] Hey, Marshall.
Can I get you anything?
[Marshall] Just a coffee,
with a little bit of milk, thanks.
You still okay?
I'm good, thanks.
Hear anything about those two guys
we found at the crack
house on Mill Street?
No, what happened?
A little bit of a shootout.
Two dead bodies in the house.
Yeah, I've had a few things
go down there in the past, but
nothing that went quite this sour.
Look, if you need help,
you gotta talk to me.
I'll do what I can.
But if I find out you're involved in this,
two dead bodies,
you're the one I'm gonna be investigating.
Derek, you're gonna get
yourself arrested or killed.
Don't gotta worry about that.
Look, I don't wanna
get a phone call tonight
that another Lacey's dead because
he's chasing after his
brother's non-existent killer.
It was a suicide, Derek.
That's it.
Oh, you don't want to get that call?
[Marshall] No, I don't.
Then stop making me do your job for you.
Or keep your fucking phone off.
(light music)
[Waitress] There you go, Marshall.
Guess I'm buying his.
(light music continues)
Fuck.
(uneasy music)
(rap music)
Everything happened, you heard
Then it get back to the groove
Watching
(artist singing indistinctly)
Basement
You can afford my arrangement
(artist singing indistinctly)
Word on the beat
(artist singing indistinctly)
Had to get back to the basics
(artist singing indistinctly)
Nothing to do, scare
Seen it before, I know that
(artist singing indistinctly)
What you been trying to prove
Holding your wink and a clue
(artist singing indistinctly)
[Derek] Ginger ale?
Sure.
(rap music continues)
Ready to go, ready to go
Ready to go, ready to blow
Ready to go, ready to blow
Ready to go, ready to blow
Ready to go, ready to blow
Ready to go
You come here a lot?
It's 50 for a half hour
and if you blow in 10
minutes, you get no change.
How about I ask you a
couple of questions instead
and if you give me some good information,
I'll pay you the 50?
And don't worry, I won't ask for change.
What do you wanna know?
I'm trying to figure out
what happened to Chris Lacey.
Did you know him?
Chris Lacey?
Yeah.
That faggot killed himself at some farm
up near Sherman's Creek.
Why don't you give me that 50 bucks?
That faggot?
Did you and him have some issues?
He was a pussy, man.
Who gives a shit about
Chris Lacey anyways?
Get him outta here!
Ready to go, ready to blow
Ready to go, ready to go
Ready to go
(Derek groaning)
(soft music)
So what's going on with
those two dead hoodlums?
Any leads yet?
We're working on it.
I know you're working on
it, but what's the latest?
Have you found Sully Barnes yet?
Dad, you're retired.
You don't have to keep trying
to solve my cases for me.
Yes, I'm retired,
but that doesn't mean I
can't still be useful.
I'm fine, thanks.
Let's just leave work at work,
shall we?
[Robert Lloyd] I'm not trying
to undermine anyone here.
(phone vibrating)
Who's that?
Just Gordo.
So much for leaving work at work.
About the case?
Maybe.
He just said it's important
and he wants me to meet him.
Is it okay if I just step
out for a little bit?
You're gonna go anyway, right?
[Marshall] It could be important.
All right.
Thanks babe.
(soft music)
It took you long enough.
I was in the middle of
dinner with my family.
And your daughter's not your family?
My real family.
Okay, so you're still an asshole, I see.
What do you want?
Kate thinks I'm out with
Gordo right now, so?
How do you plan on keeping this a secret
from her for the rest of your life?
It, it's a small town, Marshall
and people are gonna
start talking eventually.
No they won't.
What's there to talk about?
There's no evidence that Zoe's my kid.
You coming here,
bringing me money,
sneaking in my backyard.
Resemblance maybe?
It might be easy for you
to keep her distance when she's a baby.
But I mean, what are you
gonna do when she's grown up
and she lives five minutes down the road?
I'll live.
- Okay.
- As usual,
you're gonna find some other asshole
and he can be her dad.
Fuck you.
That's bullshit.
That's bullshit.
You may be an asshole
but I know you have a heart
and you wouldn't be able to stomach
passing your daughter in the street
knowing she knows you
as some douche bag cop.
Look, I didn't ask for this, okay?
You wanted to have the kid.
This mess is on you.
I give you money so you
can keep your mouth shut.
You can do whatever the
fuck you want with it.
Why don't you help
me keep my mouth shut?
What do you want?
A couple hundred should do.
I've got 50 bucks on me.
[Eva] No, a couple hundred should do.
Don't be fucking ridiculous.
Oh, ridiculous?
Oh no, okay.
I can be ridiculous.
What does that mean?
I'll just, you know, ask
Kate for the money, so.
Yeah, that's what you'll do.
And cut off your one source of income.
Yeah, it's called
child support, asshole.
Gimme the phone.
Gimme the,
gimme the fucking phone!
I've got 50 bucks on me, okay?
I will get you more tomorrow.
(uneasy music)
Turn around.
Don't you fucking dare.
I'm not here to kill you, motherfucker.
If I was, the back of your head
would be in that cupboard right now.
I swear, I don't know
what happened to Chris.
Don't feed me that shit.
How'd I find myself on the opposite end
of two trigger men the other night?
And you were conveniently
nowhere to be found.
I don't know those guys, man.
I'm telling you.
I'm not buying it!
Now to make sure you
don't do anything stupid
like last time,
toss your phone and your piece over here.
(footsteps)
[Sully] Hey.
What you doing daddy?
Nothing, we're just having a snack.
Can we have a snack too?
Sure.
Just make sure it's quick, okay?
Come on.
Is that necessary?
The last time I was with you,
you tried to have me killed.
You need to start talking.
- What do you want to know?
- Everything.
Who were those two guys?
[Sully] I don't know their names.
Work for the same guy I do.
And who's that?
I ain't no snitch.
You can tell me, Sully.
Vlad.
Vlad?
- Yeah.
- Last name?
I don't know, something fucking Russian.
Everyone calls him Vlad.
And why would this Vlad guy want me dead
or were they there for you, Sully?
No, I'm pretty sure
he was there to off you.
Just don't know why.
Bullshit.
Man, I swear on my kid's life, man.
What, you've been away for four years.
I don't know how the fuck he
would even know who you are.
Clearly someone told him.
Maybe he thinks you gonna start selling.
You gonna step on his territory
and shit, I don't know.
Did Chris work for him too?
No.
Chris sold pot, nothing major.
Then Vlad killed Chris?
[Sully] What, I didn't say that.
Yes you did.
If he sends two guys to kill me
'cause he thinks I could
potentially sell on his turf,
then he sure as shit killed Chris
for actually selling on his turf.
Yo, that's your logic, not mine.
How do I find this guy?
He runs a club in the city.
The Blue Room?
Yeah, try there.
I already did.
Why do you think I look like this?
Where does he live?
Does he have a phone number?
He does all his business from the club.
And he calls me from burners
to set up some meetings.
But I can't get a hold
of him unless he calls.
You know what to do
when he calls then, right?
[Sully] What?
Tell him I wanna meet.
He doesn't want to meet you.
He wants you dead.
Think those two guys you killed
are the only employees he got?
And who you got rolling with you?
Huh?
Man, that ain't enough.
This may be a small town,
but he ain't small time.
His father's some Russian mobster, man.
Well, I'll have to be careful then.
Getting yourself killed
ain't gonna do shit for Chris, man.
Might help his reputation.
Maybe people look at him different.
If they know what really happened.
Man, who cares what other people think?
You knew the real Chris.
That's all that matters.
Sometimes I don't think I did.
Marshall.
Derek.
Should you be drinking?
Should you be fucking off?
I'm off duty.
I know who killed my brother.
[Marshall] Oh yeah?
Yeah, some Russian named Vlad.
And how did you come to
this conclusion, detective?
Because those two dead guys
you found the other night.
Apparently they thought
I was gonna be there.
They were sent there to kill
me on behalf of this Vlad guy.
I'm failing to see how this relates
to your brother's death.
Come on, put two and two together, man.
They killed Chris because he
was selling in their area.
Plain and simple.
You don't have to be a
master fucking detective
to figure it out.
Just do some real police work.
Fuck off Derek.
What do you want me to do?
Arrest some guy based
on a theory of yours.
Where do you come up with this shit?
Sully told me.
And he just spilled the beans?
Everything he told you,
anything he wanted to know?
He had some incentive.
That's useful evidence,
testimony forced out of a
drug dealer at gunpoint.
- It's the truth.
- It's useless.
So you're not even gonna pursue it?
I'm giving you a gift right here.
Let me tell you about gifts, Lacey.
My father worked in this
department for 30 years.
He basically helped
every single fucking person in this town.
And the year before his
retirement, his good friend Ray
from the autobody shop up on Yarmouth,
he decides to give my
dad a retirement gift.
This car my dad had his eye on.
And all of a sudden, all these people
used to be so thankful and appreciative
start calling this gift a fucking bribe.
Soon enough, that's all
anyone can talk about.
All the way up to the chief.
And where does that land my dad?
Out of a job,
out of a pension.
And now he's just a
jobless, penniless old man.
So you'll have to forgive me if I,
if I don't accept your gift today, Derek.
So you're not gonna look into this?
Look into what?
You are, you are lucky that
I put up with you this long.
You know why no one's ever
given your brother's suicide
a second thought?
Huh?
'Cause we were all basically just
counting down the days
for a low life drug dealer
from a family of fucking junkies...
A person's not their family.
Chris wasn't our fucking parents.
Do you understand that?
Why don't you look at
yourself for a second?
Are you your father?
Police captain Robert Lloyd
puts away the bad guys
and pretends to be an upstanding citizen.
Must have been tough
growing up with a mother
who was constantly walking into doors.
Watch your fucking mouth.
Is that who you are, Detective Lloyd?
Are you your father?
If you're not gonna look
into this, then I will.
[Vlad] Where the fuck have you been?
I've been trying to get a
hold of you for two days now.
I'm sorry man.
Lacey was looking for me.
I had to lay low.
[Vlad] I don't give a fuck
who was looking for you.
I was looking for you.
Who do you think is more dangerous?
Me or Lacey?
No, I'm sorry man.
I'm sorry.
But there's something I gotta tell you.
I told Lacey you sent
those two guys for him.
Yo, he was gonna kill
me in front of my kid.
I had to tell him.
[Vlad] What else
exactly did you tell him?
And hey, be honest with me.
(soft music)
[Marshall] Hey.
You're drunk.
(soft music continues)
I fucked, I fucked up.
(soft music continues)
Just
shit is so fucking crazy at work.
And I,
it seems like a million
things are going on.
You know, I.
I fucked up, okay?
Yeah, it's okay.
[Marshall] It's okay?
You get it, you know.
Yeah.
That's why I love you.
You know that, right?
You forgive me?
Maybe.
Maybe?
Yeah, maybe.
(soft music continues)
[Derek] Hey now.
Jesus Christ.
[Derek] This isn't where
you live, is it Marshall?
Did you follow me here?
[Derek] Does your wife
know what you do here?
- Get off my car.
- Or what?
You gonna arrest me?
Huh?
Cause a big scene so all the
neighbours come out and watch?
No.
You definitely don't want that.
What do you want?
I want you to do some
fucking police work.
Find this Vlad guy and make him talk.
Because if you don't want to do that,
then I might just have to talk.
Okay, I'll look up this Vlad guy.
Alright?
That's all I ask.
Drive safe, Marshall.
(engine starting)
("Cello Suite No. 1 in G major,
BWV 1007 I Prelude" by Bach)
(gun shots firing)
("Cello Suite No. 1 in G major,
BWV 1007 I Prelude" by Bach)
(child crying)
Do it.
Come on Vlad, let's just go.
She's seen our faces.
I'm sorry.
I'll wait in the car.
(child crying)
(gun shot fires)
(child crying ceases)
(phone ringing)
Hello?
[Marshall] Hope you're
hiding someplace good.
What do you mean?
I mean I'm standing in
Sully's bedroom right now.
What happened?
He was shot multiple times
while lying in bed with his wife.
She's dead too.
What about the kid?
Also dead.
Listen, I'm gonna do some
digging on this Vlad guy.
I'll keep you informed.
I can't make any promises though.
Thank you.
(uneasy music)
Fuck.
We are looking for our friend.
Derek Lacey.
L-A-C-E-Y.
Could you tell us what
room he is in, please?
[Clerk] Lacey?
Oh yeah, Derek Lacey.
Room 112.
Just in the back over here.
Much appreciated.
[Person On TV] I hope
this doesn't become
a regular thing, all right?
(phone ringing)
Hello?
[Clerk] Mr. Lacey.
There are two men here looking for you.
Is one of them a cop?
[Clerk] I don't think so.
They were acting a little weird,
so I sent them to the wrong room.
Thank you.
(phone dialling)
(phone trilling)
Marshall, you need to get the fuck down
to the Casablanca right now.
There's two guys looking for me.
[Marshall] Okay?
Yeah, just, just sit tight.
We're like five minutes from there.
We'll be there soon, okay?
(uneasy music)
(phone ringing)
(tense music)
(sirens wailing)
Drop the fucking gun!
Show me your hands.
- Drop the guns.
- Hands!
Show me your fucking hands.
Turn around.
Turn around.
Hands behind your backs.
You here working for Vladimir Golovin?
Who?
Oh, you don't know who that is?
No, I only work for me.
And what do you pay yourself
in Twinkies and hand jobs?
Funny.
Derek, it's Marshall.
Coming in.
You look comfortable.
Another 30 seconds,
you would've had another
body to deal with.
Two, if I got really lucky.
You did get really lucky.
No bodies and now we
have someone to question
about your brother's death.
Not that they're gonna
give us anything, but.
Stick a gun in his face.
That usually works.
Well, not when you're a cop.
They tend not to think
you're gonna shoot them.
Did get some information
about our friend Vlad.
Oh yeah?
His last name and address.
Went by there earlier today.
Wasn't home.
So poked around, peeked in a few windows.
Not not sure anyone actually lives there.
Also went by the club,
he didn't show up either.
Where does he live?
Why, so you can show
up with your shotgun?
Yeah, I'll handle it, Derek.
So where do we go from here?
Where do we go?
I'm gonna continue my
investigation into Vlad.
I'm gonna find you a new place to hide.
You're not safe here anymore.
Do you mind if I ask you something?
[Marshall] Sure.
Why are you so eager to help me now?
Basically had to blackmail
you before to get you to help.
Now you're all about finding Vlad.
What changed?
Yesterday morning, I
saw a six-year-old girl
dead on her own bedroom floor,
still clutching a bloody teddy bear.
It made me think, you know, if I,
if I had my own daughter,
someone did something like that to her,
I'd do anything to get her justice.
Just like you're trying to
get justice for your brother.
Oh, hi there.
You are so precious.
How old is she?
She's just over two months.
She's so cute.
What's her name?
- Zoe.
That's a really pretty name.
I've been trying to get my husband
on the baby train for a while now.
He doesn't really seem interested.
Too busy, I guess.
Can be hard work.
Understandable.
I think if he saw Zoe here
though, he'd come around.
Travis.
Travis Anastos.
Anastos.
Anast,
Anastos.
That's, that's Greek, right?
Yeah.
Have you ever used one
of those escort services?
No.
Just between you and me, there's,
there's no one behind
the glass or anything.
I mean, come on, you're
not a very attractive guy.
You must have paid for companionship
at least once or twice.
No, I haven't.
Well, it's interesting,
these escort services
on their websites,
they let you know
what the different girls
will do, what they look like.
But they, they use this code
like DFK.
You know what that means?
[Travis] No.
Deep French kissing.
That sounds pretty nice, eh?
I bet you haven't had
some of that in a while.
What else, what else?
CMD.
Any guesses?
No.
Carpet matches drapes.
You know, hair colour.
- Hmm.
I don't know why anyone would
care about that, but that's,
that's just what it means, Travis.
But my personal favourite is
if they're willing to do Greek.
You must have some guesses on that, right?
Yeah, I got a couple guesses.
It means they'll let
you fuck em in the ass.
I gotta ask you as a, as a Greek man,
is that painful?
I mean, I can't imagine
putting anything in my asshole,
let alone some other guy's fat dick.
Fuck you.
[Marshall] Come on,
Travis, we're both men here.
Does it hurt?
I wouldn't know.
You will soon enough
when you're locked up
in county, won't you?
A few people there that'll
give you many lessons.
So how about this?
I'll come visit you in a few months
and we'll see if you have
any answers for me then.
I got a better idea.
Why don't you
get your partner
to shove his baton
right up your ass.
Then you'll have all the answers you need.
I mean, come on.
What is this?
I have a point here.
The point is you can
avoid some unpleasantness
if you just, if you just talk,
answer a few questions.
What do you have on me
that you can keep me in jail?
What do we have?
Well, you're carrying
an unregistered firearm.
That's a criminal of fence.
Then there's plenty of
property damage to the motel.
Threatening the motel clerk.
- Of course.
And then there's all
the cocaine we found.
Fuck off.
There wasn't any cocaine on me.
No, but in your car
there's quite a bit actually.
And that's probably good
for what, 10, 15 years?
A long time.
I mean, there's only like
20 cops in this town.
It's not like they're
not gonna listen to me.
I mean, I could let you go
free right now if I wanted.
What do you want?
Vladimir Golovin.
What about him?
Where does he live?
He has an apartment
over on King Street.
Sixth floor.
Alright, that's something.
That's something.
[Person On TV] I
think the baby's coming.
[Person On TV] What?
I see the powers back on.
Yep.
[Person On TV] Are you kidding me?
Do you mind if I ask you something?
You are gonna ask
either way, aren't you?
Who do you buy from?
What do you care?
Just curious.
I know Sully stopped selling
to you a long time ago.
I was gonna get some coke from him, but
he got killed the other day.
Really?
Yeah.
Some guys came into
his place and shot him.
No, I know he's dead.
I mean, you really gonna buy some coke?
Ah, come here.
Can you just tell me please?
Get over here.
The prodigal son returns.
Don't make a big deal outta this.
Just tell me his name.
A little line first.
It's okay, you go for it.
Come on.
Do one with your ma then I'll tell you,
Please don't do this to me.
[Norma] One line.
(Derek snorting)
[Norma] Attaboy.
What's his name?
One more and then I'll...
Fuck you.
[Norma] I promise.
One more and that's it.
If you don't, I'm gonna
dump that whole fucking bag
in the toilet.
[Norma] I promise.
(Derek snorting)
What's his info?
- It's on the fridge.
- Fuck.
His name and address are both there.
Kate.
Kate, it was a stupid mistake, okay?
It was an accident.
An accident?!
Fucking her multiple
times was an accident.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
[Kate] Don't!
What the fuck were you thinking!?
Do not fucking talk to her.
You talk to me.
I'm owed an explanation.
What do you want me to say?
I'm,
I'm a fucking idiot.
I fucked up.
I'm a piece of shit.
You know that, right?
I did, I don't know.
I just don't know what I can say
that's gonna make you
feel any better right now.
Why did you do this?
Why did you do this?
Marshall,
I loved you.
I cared about you.
I was here at the end of it every day.
Even when you were off
doing your police work,
I was the one who was fucking here.
So
I wanna know why.
I don't know, it just happened.
(Kate sobbing)
Kate.
- Don't fucking touch me.
Don't.
(Kate sobbing)
Are you happy now?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
You're pathetic.
Is this your idea of being a good mother?
Yeah?
Your life's so fucked up,
you have to fuck up everyone else's?
Listen, I don't want to,
look at me, look at me.
I don't want to hear from you
or see you anywhere near my fucking house
or my family, my real family.
Get the fuck outta my house.
(door slamming)
Fuck!
(solemn music)
(knocking on door)
Derek.
Jesus.
Derek.
Derek, wake up.
What's up?
What'd you do?
Nothing.
What'd you find out?
Nothing, forget it.
Wait, what'd you find out?
Found out you're a fucking junkie.
So why don't you stay with your mom
and do what you do best.
I'm coming with you.
No, I've had enough shit
for one day, all right?
Please.
Don't leave me here.
Okay, come on.
[Derek] Where are we going?
[Marshall] I'm taking
you a friend's place.
[Derek] I've got a lead on Vlad.
We should go there instead.
You need to get some rest.
It can wait till tomorrow.
He could be gone tomorrow.
Could be gone today.
We'll wait.
Go get some sleep.
Take care of yourself.
Tomorrow's gonna be a big day.
[Person On TV] One of the things
that they mentioned in the book...
(chips crunching)
You know what would be nice?
If you get some of those in your mouth.
Last time cleaning lady
had to clean up chip crumbs
from all over the fucking couch.
She's the cleaning lady, that's her job.
(chips crunching)
(TV playing in background)
(uneasy music)
- Vladmir Golovin?
- No.
Who the fuck are you?
Detective Marshall Lloyd.
Why don't I take a step inside?
Got a warrant?
I got a warrant
full of fuck you.
Why don't you show me around?
Got some ID I could see?
Ricky.
I am just gonna keep looking around, okay?
Officer, don't look around too much,
or we're gonna have to call the cops.
I am already here.
Just looking for your friend, Vlad.
Keep showing up to his houses.
He's never home.
That's unfortunate.
Next time you see him,
tell him Detective Lloyd
wouldn't mind having a word.
I have a few questions to ask him
about the murder of Christopher Lacey.
You wouldn't know anything
about that, would you?
No sir.
I didn't think so.
What's in that bag?
[Ricky] What bag?
The one you keep eyeballing back there?
That one?
Nothing, just school books and shit.
School books?
Well, well Ricky.
I love learning.
So would you mind if I took a look in,
flipped through some of them?
How about you take a seat on
the couch while I do that?
How about you take a seat on the couch
and sit on your fucking hands?
Yeah, nice and slow.
Nice and slow.
That's a lot of homework, Ricky.
[Ricky] Shit.
I'm gonna take this and
if Vlad wants it back,
he should gimme a call.
Detective Marshall Lloyd.
Okay, Ricky?
(uneasy music)
Fuck.
Hey,
what the hell are you doing?
Can't walk around the streets
carrying a fucking shotgun.
This is how I get answers.
I was just inside, he's not there.
So where to next?
The way I figure it,
he's only got so many places to hide.
So how about you and me
go check out his house.
If he's not there,
we'll go to the club.
Just you and me?
I don't know if you realize this,
but nobody else knows I'm helping you out.
They know I'm looking for Vlad,
but only in connection
to Sully and his family.
As far as the department's concerned,
your brother killed himself.
That's it.
Why don't you go check out the house?
I gotta grab a couple things
from my mom's before we go.
What things?
You got your trusty shotgun here.
What else could you need?
Don't worry about it.
Wait a sec.
Take this.
Take it,
just in case anything
happens between now and then.
Thank you.
Try to hide that fucking shotgun.
[Derek] Will do.
Where do you think you're going?
I've got things to do.
You score some blow?
[Derek] No.
Don't lie to me.
I'm not gonna take it all.
I just want a little bump.
I don't have any fucking coke.
I went to your dealer's place
to try and find the guy who killed Chris.
And, and did you find him?
I think I know where he is.
You kill that son of a bitch, Derek.
You show him what the Laceys are made of.
Get off of me.
Chris was nothing like you.
Neither am I.
(solemn music)
Derek, pick up.
(solemn music continues)
Fuck.
(solemn music continues)
[Derek] Police! Put your
hands where I can see 'em.
You're not the fucking police.
[Derek] I've got a shotgun
pointed at your face.
So get on the fucking ground.
(rap music)
No gun?
- No, nothing.
All right, stay put.
I got a friend watching the front door
to make sure no one else comes in here.
You make a move while I'm not looking,
he'll shoot you square in the face.
Got it?
- Got it.
White girl too
(artist singing indistinctly)
Where's Vlad?
Which one of us has a fucking gun?
- I'm not telling you shit.
- I'm not fucking around here.
Call of duty
(artist singing indistinctly)
He upstairs.
Right, get on the ground.
(artist singing indistinctly)
Police will be here any minute
so don't you fucking move.
RIP to Lottie J
And my brothers
(uneasy music)
Who is it?
It's Officer Marshall Lloyd.
Open up Vlad, it's over.
We know you killed Sully and Chris Lacey.
Bullshit.
Show me some ID.
[Derek] I'm gonna open the
door and toss my badge in
for you to look at, okay?
Okay.
(tense music)
I've been carrying this
around a week looking for you.
So you better fucking
believe I'm ready to use it.
Now, you're gonna tell me everything.
There's nothing to tell.
That was my fucking brother you killed.
Start talking.
- Please.
- Derek!
We've got him, okay.
Lower your weapon, let me take him in.
- Don't let him kill me.
- Shut up!
Don't talk to him.
You talk to me and only me.
Tell me what happened.
[Marshall] Put the gun down.
If you take another step closer,
you're gonna be cleaning
his head off the floor.
Tell me what happened.
You're going to kill me either way.
I'm gonna kill you right fucking now
if you don't answer me.
Derek enough.
Why'd you kill him?
Answer the fucking question!
Because he wouldn't sell.
[Derek] What do you
mean he wouldn't sell?
Everybody knows Chris was dealing.
He wouldn't sell our shit.
Coke, heroin.
He wouldn't sell it.
That's fucking it?
You think I run this whole thing?
I've got people I work for too.
And when Chris refused to work with us,
he was spiting in our faces.
My bosses told me to make
an example out of him.
So I did.
If I didn't,
I would be the one laying
dead in the fucking field.
An example?
You made a fucking example out of him?
Derek, come on.
Please.
I'm not a bad person.
I was protecting my own life.
Say it.
Say you killed him.
Say you fucking killed him.
I killed him.
[Derek] Louder.
I killed him!
I didn't have fucking choice.
Did you hear that, Marshall?
Loud and clear.
Now put down your gun
and let me arrest him.
You killed the only family I had left.
Do you have family?
Do you have family?
Yes.
Yes.
(tense music)
Good.
(gun shot fires)
(solemn music)
(soft music)
