Memory of a Killer (2026) s01e10 Episode Script

1
WOMAN 1: Previously
on Memory of a Killer
ANGELO: I killed an innocent man.
How am I ever going to trust you again?
WOMAN 2: You remember I was telling you
about my husband,
Robert? This is his mother.
I know who the Ferryman is.
Ah!
You're lucky you never decided
to do the wife and kids thing.
I couldn't do it. Maybe
I'm not meant for this.
One person killed all three
and then arranged the scene.
ANGELO: Michael, what did you do?
I'm sending someone for Maria tomorrow.
I'm expediting the plan.
We move now.
You can't bring my son back.
No, but I can give you something else.
You killed my son.
I am not the one who pulled the trigger.
- (GILCHRIST SCREAMING)
- (GUN FIRING)
Two of your loved ones are about to die.
- (GUN FIRING)
- (WOMAN GRUNTING)
I've been protecting
you both from the start.
- (GUN FIRING)
- (MAN GRUNTING)
Dad?
GRANT: Nice place, Angelo.
Our forensics team just got
back from Earl Hancock's house.
Something you should take a look at.
These were found hidden in his basement.
Wait. Hold on.
This is the outfit Leah was
wearing the day she died.
My God.
He hit her on purpose.
It wasn't an accident.
DAVE: Angelo, can
you think of any reason
that Earl Hancock would want
to kill your wife and daughter?
No.
No idea.
I asked for a restraining order
against Earl Hancock weeks ago.
- I know. I
- But you told me
he didn't make any explicit
threats, and then he shows up
in my baby's nursery with a gun!
Maria, I'm so sorry.
Earl never should have been able to.
I should have done more.
(PHONE RINGING, PEOPLE CHATTERING)
- MARIA: Hey.
- Hey.
You okay?
I'll be alright.
Dad, I I feel like
everything's been a blur
since the moment I
picked up that gun. I mean
I I thought I could
handle something like this,
but I
It should never have happened.
I need to ask you something.
Yeah.
How did you know Earl was coming?
Um, I I got a call from a friend.
What friend?
A woman. Um, she she's
become kind of a friend lately.
I mean, I I don't even
know her last name.
What's her first name?
Nicky. Uh, like, I don't
know. She called to warn me.
I I don't really know
exactly how she knew.
Uh, something about overhearing
a conversation somewhere.
- I I don't
- Okay.
- What? Dad?
- Be right back.
Wait. Where you going?
WOMAN ON SPEAKER:
Cross-Central Bus Lines express service
to Buffalo will depart in 10 minutes.
Cross-Central Bus Lines
(PHONE RINGING, BUZZING)
will depart in 10 minutes.
(PHONE RINGING)
Uh, hello.
Maria was supposed to die tonight,
and you knew that.
I warned her. I never
meant for any of
Agent Grant put you
up to this, didn't she?
Didn't she?
I I need a chance
to explain everything.
ANGELO: My apartment. Tomorrow. Noon.
You can explain everything then.
I have a plan to take down Agent Grant.
You're going to help me.
You owe me that much.
Are you coming or not?
Yeah. O-Of course.
I'll be there. Angelo
- MAN: Hey.
- Hey.
- You ready?
- Yeah. Uh, Jeff,
I want to go back to the house.
- Why?
- It's just, um,
I need to be in the space.
It's the only way I'll
be able to process this.
What do you mean?
I just I think the only way
I'm going to understand
what happened is to relive it.
Look. You were right.
After I was shot at,
I said I was okay,
but I wasn't.
And I was hiding things
from you and lying,
because I was scared of
facing what happened to me.
And I don't want to
make that mistake again.
I know. I know.
But tonight, I got a hotel room,
arranged a police escort,
and we'll have a security
detail for a few days.
They think the threat's over,
but we just got to
take every precaution.
Let's take a breath before
you go home, please.
Yeah.
JEFF: Hey. I need a minute.
Of course. Uh, sit down.
No. I'm good standing.
(SIGHING) Jeff, I, uh
I let you both down. I, um
I I should have seen this coming.
I should have protected her.
I'm sorry.
You think an apology fixes this?
Of course not. I
JEFF: You know, when we got married,
I told Maria that I was all in,
no matter what.
And she chose us.
She chose me.
I know.
- Okay?
- Okay.
We understood?
We're leaving. Getting
a hotel for a few days.
- If you need anything, I
- We won't.
(DOOR CLOSING)
(CAR HORNS HONKING,
SIREN WAILING DISTANTLY)
Agent Roberts.
- Yeah.
- Phone call for you.
- Who is this?
- ANGELO: You're FBI?
You work with Agent Linda Grant?
She's my supervising
agent. What's this about?
ANGELO: I have information on her.
Then make an appointment
through proper channels.
ANGELO: Earl Hancock.
Henry Bloch. Nicky Ciccone.
Agent Grant is using her
badge to settle a personal score.
All the evidence you need
is on that hard drive
you've just been handed
names, numbers,
communications between Grant
- and those people.
- Yeah. Well (SCOFFING)
- Why would she possibly
- Well, that's up to you
to find out. I'm hanging up now.
Wait. I need a name,
your name, something.
Everything you need is on that drive.
Now, it's up to you to determine
how many more people die.
Come here.
Have a great day.
What's going on?
I shouldn't be here.
But you are.
Somebody came forward
with information about you.
They're saying you're
manipulating witnesses,
using confidential informants
for unauthorized operations.
Who came forward?
Look. It's credible enough
that OPR are opening
up a formal investigation.
You are going on indefinite suspension,
probably tomorrow.
What do they have?
Names.
Uh, Henry Bloch.
Earl Hancock.
I mean, they are dead, so
they can't contradict anything,
but
There's a third,
a woman
named Nicky Ciccone.
Does that name mean anything to you?
- No.
- Linda.
I said no.
They're going to reach out to her.
They're going to interview her.
If If there is something
uh, I I don't know that
you need to get ahead of,
that I can help with
Why are you telling me all this?
Because we were
partners for three years.
Because I owe you.
Thanks for the heads up.
(CAR HORNS HONKING DISTANTLY)
(KNOCKING)
ANGELO: Here.
I never meant for any of this to happen.
I'm sorry for all of it.
I swear, Angelo,
I thought it was just
surveillance, information.
Grant offered me a deal
I could not turn down,
for my daughter's sake,
but then it became more,
and, um, by then,
I had already
I wasn't supposed to
have feelings for you.
That wasn't the plan.
If we'd met somewhere else,
different circumstances
(SNIFFLING)
So this is it, then.
Not yet.
Agent Grant has gone off the grid.
I need you to help me find her.
JEFF: Hey.
(WOMAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY ON RADIO)
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
You, uh
Hey. You sure you want to do this?
Yeah. No, I have to.
Before this baby comes, I I need
to confront this thing head on.
Okay. Okay.
(BEEPING)
(PHONE RINGING OUT)
Someone broke in into my house.
(GUN FIRING)
Who are you?
Grant's here.
JOE: (ON EARPIECE) Come on.
But why isn't she
getting out of her car?
She's just sitting there.
I see it.
What is she waiting for?
I don't know.
JOE: God. Come on. Come on.
She making her move?
Something's not right.
Oh, no. Nicky.
- (BLOW LANDING)
- (NICKY GRUNTING)
(MAN GRUNTING)
Joe, Nicky's been hit.
Get that tracker on Grant's car.
(ENGINE STARTING)
(CLUNKING)
JOE: Tracker's on.
ANGELO: Call 911.
JOE: On it.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
- (ANGELO GRUNTING)
- (MAN GRUNTING)
- (QUIETLY) Nicky. Nicky.
- (BREATHING HEAVILY)
Help's coming, Nicky.
- (WHISPERING) Angelo.
- Just stay stay with me.
Stay with me. Stay with me.
(NICKY BREATHING HEAVILY)
NICKY: I'm sorry.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
Nicky.
It's okay.
Nicky? Nicky?
Nicky.
Nicky. Nicky.
JOE: Grant's just crossed
the George Washington Bridge.
Exiting at Palisades Avenue.
She's driving west.
I know where she's going.
Her daughter-in-law's house.
Great. Then I'm coming with you.
- No.
- Angelo, I'm not letting you
- go alone.
- Absolutely not.
Yeah, and what's this about, the, uh
the poker game hit,
the one I couldn't finish?
No. It has nothing to do with that.
Great. Then give me
another chance then, okay?
- I can do better.
- Listen to me, Joe.
You're good at what you're good at,
which is the tech
and surveillance and
- JOE: Right.
- Planning.
But in the field?
In the field, you froze,
which tells me you're smart enough
to know your limits.
Trust me. You don't
want to get good at this.
Yeah. I understand.
(ANGELO GROANING)
Angelo.
Agent Grant I don't know
what was in that flash drive,
but this thing between the two of you,
it's personal, yeah?
Yeah, it is.
(DOOR OPENING)
(DOOR CLOSING)
GRANT: Here you go.
- Thank you.
- GRANT: Yeah.
Julia, uh, you might hear some things
about me after you leave.
- What kind of things?
- I don't know what they'll say,
but whatever it is, I
It was all for Robert
and you and and and Caitlin.
Linda, you're scaring me.
I don't want you to be scared. No. No.
You're going to be
fine. You're both are.
Yes. No. It
I love you.
Just always know that.
Here.
Can I bring Hercules?
You can bring whatever you want.
(GRANT CHUCKLING)
You know, if it's easier, we
could take a cab to the airport.
No. No. I'm driving.
Yeah. Let's get her inside.
Alright.
(JULIA GRUNTING)
Come on, honey.
Hop in.
(GRANT CHUCKLING)
CAITLIN: I'm going to miss you, Grandma.
Let's get you inside.

- Hi.
ANGELO: I got your message. You okay?
- Yeah.
- You sounded pretty upset.
No, no. It's okay. Uh, yeah. Sit. Here.
I just, um I I just
wanted to ask you something.
ANGELO: Okay.
Well, about what happened with Earl
how are you doing with it?
- I'm fine.
- (MARIA SCOFFING INCREDULOUSLY)
Honey, are you okay?
Dad, you killed a man,
and you seem like nothing happened.
Why is that?
How is that possible?
You know, uh, as a parent,
sometimes you have secrets,
and there are things
That you don't talk about.
There are things I want you to know,
things that you should know about me.
Like what?
I was a Marine,
so I saw things,
and I did things.
And because of that,
I process things differently.
Yeah. That was 40 years ago, Dad.
It changes you forever.
I'm sorry we haven't
talked about this before.
No. It's okay.
Just needed to know you were human.
I'm human.
Okay? Come here.
MICHAEL: You remember what it felt like?
The first time?
That weight.
Knowing you were about to take something
you can't give back.
You used to feel it.
I know you did.
Is this who you still want to be?
I once had a love ♪
It was a gas ♪
Soon turned out ♪
Had a heart of glass ♪
Seemed like the real thing ♪
Only to find ♪
Mucho mistrust ♪
Love gone behind ♪
Ooh ooh oh oh ♪
Ooh ooh oh oh ♪
Hey, I talked to my dad.
And?
MARIA: I still feel like
he's hiding things from me.
JEFF: What kind of things?
I don't know. There's been
a handful of things that just
They don't add up.
Ooh ooh oh oh ♪
And then he gave me
more explanations, but
I don't know. I
I still feel like he's
not telling me the truth.
Ooh ooh oh oh ♪
I mean, what do you think it could be?
I don't know.
Ooh ooh oh oh ♪
(GASPING) Oh, my God. Okay.
- You alright?
- Um, w
Jeff, my my water just broke.
- Okay. Okay.
- Um
Should you stand? Should you sit?
- I don't I don't know.

car. Come on. I got you.
- Hey, we got this.

- Hello?
- MARIA: (DISTORTED) Dad,
it's happening. The baby's coming.
We're we're heading
to the hospital now.
- Did you hear me?
- Yeah.
MARIA: Okay. I I love you, Dad.
I'll see you soon.
(CLICKING)
(CAR DOOR OPENING)
I know you had Earl
Hancock kill my wife.
Yes, I did.
You threw my boy off a balcony.
His skull cracked open on the pavement,
and I held him for three days
in the hospital while he died.
I wanted you to feel what I felt.
But you kept on living.
You kept on pretending to be a good man.
So I decided to come after everyone
you've ever cared about.
Watching you lose
everything piece by piece,
this is justice!
Enough. No more death.
My wife, your son. We're even.
That's easy for you to
say, because you still have
your daughter!
- JOE: Put it down. Put it down.
- (GUN COCKING)
- Now.
- ANGELO: What are you
doing here? Stop.
Put it down. Now.
I've got her, Angelo.
- Joe.
- Angelo, I got her.
- I can do it.
- Joe.
I can do this!
Don't do it!
Drop the weapon on the floor.
Kick it over to him.
Drop it on the floor!
Okay. Let's go.
- What are you doing?
- We're done.
She will come after you.
If she does, I will have her arrested.
I've got more than enough. Let's go.
You go to prison too.
Like I said, we're even.
Go!
(GUNS FIRING RAPIDLY)
ANGELO: Cover! Cover! Cover!
(GUNS CONTINUING TO FIRE)
Ah! That's out.
(GUNS CONTINUING TO FIRE)
(COCKING GUN)

(GUNS CONTINUING TO FIRE)
(YELPING)
(GRUNTING) I'm out.
Here. Here. Give me your gun. Take this.
- What are you doing?
- I'm going to draw their fire.
Okay? I'm going to give you an opening.
- Joe. Joe, don't do this.
- I heard Grant.
You have a daughter, alright?
I get it.
Okay? It's okay.

(VOICES CHATTERING DISTANTLY)
DUTCH: Are you okay?
He took that bullet because of me.
This is not on you.
Grant's the one who
ANGELO: It's my fault.
I should have been smarter.
It's not your fault. You hear me?
Listen.
We're both getting older,
and truth is, I'm getting tired of this.
Maybe we should get out of this racket.
Aren't you ready to stop
looking over your shoulder?
I'm not sure I'm qualified
to do anything else.
(PHONE CHIMING, BUZZING)
I got to take care of something.
My daughter's here.
She's just had her baby.
What's your daughter's name?
It's, um
How many women here
today are having babies?
Quite a few.
It's, um
Starts with an M.
Sir, I I need a name to
She's here, my daughter.
She's here, right?
I can't help you without a name, sir.
What do you mean, you can't help me?
She's here.
- She's here.
- Sir, calm down.
She's here! Don't tell me to calm down!
- She's here!
- Security to the main desk,

- No. No. Don't do that.
Sir, we need you to
step away from the desk.
No. No. Just wait a second.
One second, please. I
- Sir!
- Please take your hand
Take your hands off
me. I said take your
I need you to step back from the desk.
Would you take your hands off me?
- JEFF: Angelo?
- Stop resisting!
- JEFF: Stop. Stop.
- I said take your hands
- off of me!
- We need you to stop resisting!
JEFF: Angelo! Stop! He's family.
It's okay. This is my wife's father.
Maria's back here, okay?
This is my father-in-law.
You okay? Why why
were they doing that?
What was going on back
there? What happened?
ANGELO: Just a misunderstanding.
Hey!
You made it!
Yes, of course I made it.
I'm sorry I'm so late.
We were getting worried.
Yeah. Well, something came
up I had take care of in person.
- Let me see.
- Eh?
- Who's this?
- This is Liam.
Oh, hello, Liam.
JEFF: Liam Flannery Kahn.
- ANGELO: You are so beautiful!
- MARIA: I know!
ANGELO: Look at you!
MARIA: So sweet.
Can you feel it?
The innocence?
Beautiful.
Yeah. It's Grandpa.
- Yeah.
- (BABY GURGLING)
- Oh, yeah!
- Oh! (LAUGHING)
- You are a charmer.
- Aw.
You are a charmer.
Dutch?
Hey.
Hey. There he is.
Where's Angelo? Did he make it?
Yeah. Yeah.
Angelo made it. He's fine.
You did real good.
You're like, uh
like John McClane in Die Hard 3,
taking bullets for your partner.
(JOE CHUCKLING WEAKLY)
(GROANING)
I had no choice.
What?
There was no choice. Family.
That's right. That's
right. We're family.
Daughter.
What?
There's a daughter.
Whose daughter?
Joe?
Who has a daughter?
Joe?
(SIREN WAILING DISTANTLY)
I've been thinking about
what you said in the hospital.
DUTCH: Yeah. I was in a bad headspace.
I'm not going to get out.
And neither are you.
- Angelo
- But things need to change.
From now on, I get to
vet these hits with you,
both of us, before
anything moves forward.
That's not how this works.
Dutch, because of what happened to me,
I need to know what I'm walking into
and who I'm walking into.
That's the deal.
I won't kill an innocent man.
Never again.
Are we clear?
Crystal.
Hey, before you go, uh,
Joe mentioned something when
you were confronting the Ferryman.
Um, he said something about a daughter.
Can you put him in the bassinet?
Yeah, yeah. Of course. I got him.
Thank you.
Hey, what's this?
- What?
- This envelope.
I don't know. It was in the
mail with everything else.
Okay.
Yeah. Agent Grant has a daughter-in-law.
Her son was married.
Daughter-in-law. Huh.
It's funny, because that's
not what it sounded like.
ANGELO: Don't know.
I'll ask him about it.
Okay?
You got it.
Partner.
Hello.
(BABY FUSSING)
ANGELO: Michael, what did you do?
(KNOCKING)
My God.
Dad, I want you to tell me the truth.
