American Rust (2021) s02e01 Episode Script

1
There's a balance between
good and evil in the world.
[GUNSHOT]
[GRACE] That balance just shifted
a little more toward good.
You bring good into the world, Del.
[ISAAC] What's your
hangup with leaving Buell?
I've got no hangups.
[LEE] I have spent so long trying
to figure out where I belong.
This is the right place for me.
Isaac, listen to me. Head
west, go to that school.
Live your life.
Are we ever gonna see each other again?
- Hey, Frank.
- What do we got going on?
[HARRIS] Eh, nothing good.
- Steve.
- Boss. You okay there?
Eh, slept the wrong way.
I'm Detective Fisher. I'd
like to ask you some questions.
- You want to tell me what about?
- Your former partner. Chuck Castellanos.
North City was going to shit.
The squad formed the brotherhood.
I left the force before they
could ask me to repay the debt.
I broke my oath.
[GRACE] For some fucked up reason,
we think we don't deserve good things.
But we do.
[MONITOR BEEPING]
I'm done playing by the fucking rules.
[HARRIS] I'm gonna take
good care of you, Grace.
It's gonna be a good day.
Maybe it will be.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[DOORBELL RINGS]
[PHONE RINGING]
Yeah?
- [POWER TOOLS BUZZING]
- [OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
[GRACE] I just wanna make sure the
numbers we're talking about are
[MAN] Yes, you're gonna get a chance.
[GRACE] I'm talking six figures,
150, 200 thousand dollars.
You're going to be able to speak first.
You'll be able to make your case.
Whatever each of you wants.
- I'll be doing it.
- I don't doubt that.
What's that supposed to mean?
The numbers you mentioned
are not unreasonable,
but a negotiation takes
time. I want to urge you
Hello. I think we all know each other.
Sue Herlitz, District
Attorney for Fayette County.
Beau Davis, representing the
Commonwealth and the Bureau of Prisons.
- I'm Mrs
- [SUE] Shall we?
The Poe family has
retained me in this lawsuit.
We allege, among other
failures of the state,
an 8th Amendment deliberate indifference
to protection from violence.
And we hope this negotiation will
avert the need for a lengthy trial.
I believe Grace Poe would like to make
a statement on behalf of the family.
Hi, Sue Herlitz, District Attorney.
That's my son, Billy
who just limped over to his chair.
You might remember him because you
sent him to prison on no good evidence
where he was beaten so
viciously, he ended up in a coma.
Now, he doesn't remember
the beating, thank God.
But just now, four months
later, he's getting out of rehab.
And he may never fully recover.
You're up for re-election next
week, Sue Herlitz, and I know
you want to continue
being District Attorney.
So, unless you want me
driving around Fayette County
with a loudspeaker strapped
to my car reminding everybody
how badly you fucked Billy Poe
you better be ready
to make things right.
I think you understand what that means.
Right on.
Would you like to make a statement?
No.
Thank you for your statement. In
consultation with the Commonwealth,
we are prepared to cover all of
Mr. Poe's medical expenses to date,
as well as his rehabilitation moving
forward for the next six months.
In addition, as compensation
for Mr. Poe's pain and suffering,
we are prepared to offer
Twenty-eight thousand,
four hundred dollars.
- What?!
- What?!
Say that number to my face.
- You smug, sexless bitch.
- Wait, don't back away.
Stand there like a man
and say that number
We come in here in good faith
Don't make me chase you!
- Everybody, please
- I'll take it.
- Wh What?
- [VIRGIL] Billy. What the fuck?
I'll take it.
If you can write me a check
right now, I'll take it.
No, Billy, no.
Give me five minutes.
[DOOR CLOSES]
[SIRENS BLARING]
[OFFICER] Package bomb.
Not a huge explosion.
Mostly nails, projectiles.
But the victim's dead.
We're trying to locate the
wife, daughter's at school.
The neighbor saw a delivery truck
pulling away down the street.
Hey, at least you caught a
fun one for your birthday.
- Really?
- No comment.
Oh, come on, aging's a beautiful
process. It's been good for me,
thanks to my oil-free moisturizer
and my comfortable man-Spanx.
I was gonna say, those undergarment
supports really working for ya.
- You noticed.
- I mean, not in a creepy way, but I do
Hey. You're talking too much
again. Cynthia, go find the truck.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
- [GRACE] You okay?
- Yeah, thanks.
Gimp Nation! The boy is free!
Hey, man.
Come on, tough guy. You can do it.
You could come here and grab my bag.
Why would I do that? It's your bag.
Thanks a lot.
I've seen Blind Side,
I've seen Whiplash.
Tough love, man. It's
the only way you'll learn.
That's not what The Blind Side's about.
- Of course it is.
- [BILLY] No.
The basketball one with Gene Hackman.
- [BILLY] No.
- Really?
Hey, Billy, what's going on?
Isaac invited me to stay at his place.
That's sweet, Isaac, but I got a
bed made up for him at the cabin.
Mom, I'm not sharing a
bathroom with you and Harris.
Uh, he's actually not
there that much, so
Oh, it's the boxing one! The
boxing one with Mark Wahlberg.
- Hey, you know Well
- [BILLY] No, its
- [GRACE] Be careful.
- Have fun!
Hey, maybe it's better this way.
Is it?
Well, I mean, if Harris
ain't coming around that much,
that might, you know, leave
me a little window to sneak by.
I'm just being selfless. I'm
always thinking of your pleasure
and only your pleasure.
Hey!
Hey, you! Hey, I'm talking to you!
If you ever have kids, I
hope you remember today,
and what you took from my son.
Karma can be a motherfucker, you bi
- Are you recording me?
- Yes, Grace, I am
- Fuck you, you stupid fucking bitch!
- Okay, let's not go there. No, no, no.
- Let's not go there. Ssh-ssh
- Fuck you! Fuck
You good? Okay.
[SIGHS]
The victim's name is Liam McKenna.
Still trying to locate the wife,
Professor of Geology at Carnegie Mellon.
- Teaches about rocks?
- Old rocks.
She was out of town at a conference.
We've got uniforms on the truck route.
- The driver is
- [KNOCK ON DOOR]
Yeah?
Can I get a word with you?
We're seriously gonna do this again?
This guy. We're in the middle
of something important here.
It's out of my hands.
[HARRIS] Aren't you the big boss?
Not of him, I'm not.
[DOOR CLOSES]
- [FISHER] Take a seat.
- I wasn't planning on staying long.
Indulge me.
You and Chuck Castellanos were partners.
You really gonna start
this way every time?
I'm methodical.
Obsessive, maniacal. I
might use those words.
- You were partners.
- No. We liked playing dress-up.
He got a kick out of the
plastic badge and the toy gun.
I liked the 10 hours a day
driving around and the bad pay.
You don't like talking about Chuck.
- I don't like talking to you about Chuck.
- I see.
We've been having the same
conversation for three months.
I come back to Pittsburgh,
where I feel like I
[PHONE BUZZING]
- [FISHER] You need to take that?
- [HARRIS] No.
- You sure?
- Yep.
I want to show you something
we recently discovered.
We combed through all surveillance
cameras within three miles of the diner
from the night Detective
Castellanos shot himself.
They found that shot from
outside a yoga studio.
Do you recognize the man
in the car with Chuck?
It would help if I could see him.
[FISHER] You don't recognize him at all?
[HARRIS] I can't see him.
The shape of the man's
head, crew cut? His jawline?
Sorry.
All right, let me ask
you about something else
we've been looking into.
About 12, 13 years ago,
before you left the force
the first time around,
you worked a child sexual assault case
against a Catholic school teacher.
- Is that right?
- Yep.
The case was going to trial and
then it all blew up, got dismissed.
Teacher moved away. Remember this?
Uh-huh.
Within that year, that same
teacher was shot in Wisconsin.
I heard about that.
Do you happen to know
if Detective Castellanos
had anything to do with that killing?
Are you fucking kidding me?
No, I'm not.
Look, I can get a judge
to grant you immunity,
if you want to share any information.
I don't want your immunity.
If you're gonna accuse my former
partner of murdering a suspect for me,
more than a decade ago,
you'd better have something
nailed the fuck down.
You want to charge me? Charge me.
You want to charge a
dead cop. Charge him.
I'm done.
This is your last chance for
me to protect you in all this
I don't need your protection.

[MUSIC FADES]
Hello.
You can get shot coming up
behind someone like that.
I'm trained to protect myself
if anyone turns a firearm on me.
Are you trying to get
me to point a gun at you?
I didn't know you had one.
I live in a cabin in the
woods, mostly by myself,
so yeah, I have a gun, and it's
registered, if you're interested.
I've got a couple of
questions, if you don't mind.
On the night of the
murders in West Virginia,
the ones that included Jackson
Berg, who owned the pharmacy
I know who Jackson was.
Former Chief Harris was at
the Main Street Bar that night
and his cell phone records show
that he received a call from you.
You have his cell phone records?
- Do you remember calling him?
- Yeah, I do.
- Because the owner of the bar
- [GRACE] Chloe.
- Yes.
- It's not a big town, Steve.
Chief Park.
Okay.
Well, Chloe told me when former
Chief Harris answered his call,
he said hello to "Steve."
Do you recall that?
I have no idea what the
fuck you're talking about.
What I am sure of is that former
Chief Harris hung up with me
and came home, here, where I was.
I imagine the cell records
would indicate that, yes?
So, are you gonna believe
a bartender in a noisy bar,
or the cell records you apparently have?
Understood.
Is it? Do you understand?
How 'bout this: Get the fuck off
of former Chief Harris's property.
- Do you understand that?
- I do.
- And maybe get a new hobby.
- Thank you for your time.
You could try getting laid. Things
not working out at home so well?
Things at home are good.
And what about you? You
say you're mostly alone?
- That must be hard.
- Go fuck yourself.
You know where to find
me if you want to talk.
[TRAIN HORN BLARING IN THE DISTANCE]
[BILLY] Oh, my God, this is so good.
[ISAAC] It's good,
but it's not that good.
You have no idea what I've been
eating the last three months.
Everyone knows they use
powdered eggs at rehab,
but I swear, they
serve powdered meatloaf.
How's your right side doing?
The doctor says there's nothing
actually wrong with my leg and my arm.
It's just my brain that's
sending these erratic signals.
So, I gotta work on it.
Do drills, exercise,
build my strength up.
I'll get you there. I'm
gonna get you healthy.
How's Lee doing?
I don't see her much.
She's commuting to this
law firm up in Pittsburgh.
Puts in a lot of overtime.
I work most days, then I'm out at night.
Oh, yeah? You, what, dating?
I wouldn't really call it dating.
Hookin' up?
Sure.
Okay. Good for you.
How's that going? Any lucky takers?
End of discussion.
Okay.
[ISAAC GRUNTS]
You missing your dad at all?
Ah, I'm fine.
Lee's probably blaming herself. I mean,
whatever was going on
between me and Henry,
at least I kept him
alive for four years.
And she comes home and
he's dead in a month?
It's gotta give you
some kind of complex.
She ever come visit you?
No.
It's all right. She's
got a lot going on.
I have to say, this positive
attitude of gratitude
is freaking me out a little bit.
What happened to the morose,
resentful Billy I was friends with?
What did you do to him?
Maybe he died in prison.
Maybe they beat him out of me.
Well, I have I have something.
[WRENCH CLATTERS]
Is that what I think it is?
You've been hanging
onto it all this time?
I don't know, I was waiting for
you to tell me what we do with it.
I'll take care of it.
Just put it all out of your mind.
I got it.
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
Okay. C'mon.
Stop.
Why does your company have no tracking
for a package you delivered
to the McKenna house?
That house was not on my route today.
- You delivered next door.
- [DRIVER] Yes.
And the neighbors saw your truck turn
the corner right as
the package exploded.
I don't understand it
any better than you do.
Oh, I understand it.
Somebody made a side deal with you
to deliver a bomb to Mr. McKenna.
- No, I-I-I
- [ANGELA] Who was it?
You tell us now, we
question that person,
maybe we find out you didn't
know what was in that package.
I don't know anything about a package.
Otherwise, we have to assume
you knew what you were doing.
I don't know anything.
Come on. What would it cost for
you to deliver a side package, 500?
- I wouldn't.
- A thousand?
A thousand to just
deliver a package? Why not?
I didn't do this, I
swear. I didn't do this.
[PHONE BUZZES]
- Hey.
- Hey.
You're hard to reach.
Tough case.
Well, things are tough here too.
Billy settled his case for like, $40.
Like he just doesn't give
a shit about himself.
I'm sorry, uh
And that little terrier that took your
job came around here asking questions
about West Virginia again.
- He'll never get anywhere on that.
- Are you sure?
Yeah. Look, I gotta go.
Wait, when Wait. Wait, wait.
Talk to you later.
- You okay?
- Yep. Except for him.
Chief's gonna be pissed.
We need a new lead.
Yep.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Holy
[ISAAC] Nice, right?
How long did it take you to do all this?
Oh, not so long. Dumpster, some paint
Biggest time suck was arguing
with Lee about what to keep.
[SIGHS] Finally told her whatever
she's keeping goes into Henry's room.
It's a seriously beautiful house.
How'd I never realize that?
And check this out.
Isaac
I don't, uh
Thank you.
Uh, thank Lee. She
found most of this stuff.
If it was me, you'd have a futon
on the floor and a One Direction poster.
And you thought football
was hard? [CHUCKLES]
I'm gonna kick your ass
till you can walk right.
- [LOUD BAR MUSIC]
- [OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
Whoo!
- Excuse me.
- My bad.
Hey, hey! Brother, what's up?!
He walked right up to the fucking guy,
and he realizes
Oh, that kind of lube.
- I swear. I shit you not!
- [WOMAN] Oh, my God!
[TAPPING ON GLASS]
She was a terrific partner, then
this guy came back. Thank you.
The thing you gotta
get used to with Angela,
is letting her play bad
cop, basically, all the time.
I tried to play bad cop
once in interrogation,
she tackled me, handcuffed
me to the radiator,
and her and the perp,
they started grilling me!
- Stop!
- Never happened.
She is the tough guy. A
very beautiful tough guy.
Happy birthday.
She is the most patient, loyal
mentor you could possibly ask for.
She's been a best
friend, a big sister, a
- A grandmother.
- Shut your trap!
Sorry about him. It's basically
like living with a stray animal.
Where was I? Girlfriend.
And a therapist,
which I need, like, all the time.

[ANGELA SIGHS]
I'm out.
Don't have too many of those,
we got an early start tomorrow.
Nah, this is only my second of
the night. After this, I'm gone.
Happy birthday, partner.
You really don't look 50.
I'm 47, thank you.
That's what I meant. I mean,
no one would mistake you for
Okay. This has been confidence-building.
I'm glad I stopped by.
Who celebrates their
47th birthday like this?
These guys, it's any excuse to drink.
It basically has nothing to do with me.
Get yourself home safe.
I will. See you tomorrow.
[ORR] Del
Hey.
Join us.
Which one of you told me she was 50?
- [LAUGHS]
- Thanks a lot, Vic. Fuck.
[LAUGHING] Don't ever Don't
ever pay attention to this schmuck.
[CHUCKLES]
So, how's it going with Angela?
I like her. You know, smart, no
bullshit, tough, like you said.
Come on. She's a pain in my ass.
She's a pain in our collective ass.
How so?
She's up in everybody's business,
by the book, by the book.
Did you file the report?
Did you read him his rights
the moment you touched him?
What's wrong with going by the book?
I don't know. You tell us.
[LAUGHS]
It's good having you
back the last few months.
You're away a long time.
I needed to get my, uh, head
straight. I needed the quiet.
Then I read about Chuck dying.
It's good to be back in Pittsburgh,
back with the department.
This is where I belong.
I always thought that.
You still interested?
In being a part of it all?
I've just been waiting
for someone to ask.
Why don't you get us some
drinks. We'll celebrate.
The first assignment tomorrow night.
Seriously?
You want back in? You tell me.
Okay, then. Seven a.m. tomorrow,
there'll be a handgun with no history
parked behind a dumpster,
3100 block, Railroad Street.
The address for the
night'll be there too.
Who is it?
Whose suspect?
We changed how we operate.
The less you know, the better.
He's a bad man. And he'll be in his
apartment by tomorrow night, 9 p.m.
[BILLY] Why'd you swipe on this guy?
[ISAAC] He majors in engineering.
I figured we might get along.
I thought you turned down
manual labor these days?
- [ISSAC] Hm.
- What happens when you click on the belt buckle?
No, no, don't touch that
- Oh, my God! That is huge!
- Give it back.
- What do you even do with that?
- Give it back.
Now I understand why you picked
him. Engineering, my ass. [CHUCKLES]
- Billy.
- Wait, did you post buckle pictures too?
- No!
- How do I find your profile?
- Give it back!
- No. [LAUGHS]
- Give it
- Ow, my legs.
- Give it back.
- [DOOR OPENS]
- [APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS]
- [GRUNTS]
Hi.
Hi.
Thank you for fixing up the room for me.
Of course.
It's good to see you.
Yeah, you too.
I need a shower and some sleep.
Okay.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
[PHONE RINGING]
[PHONE CONTINUES RINGING]
[PHONE RINGING]
Hey! Sorry, I was out getting wood.
[HARRIS] I started to think
you blocked my number.
[LAUGHS]
Actually, I don't even
know how to do that.
Me neither.
[GRACE] Well, then, I guess we're
stuck answering each other's calls.
I hear you smoking.
Where does a policeman get weed?
Seriously?
Yeah.
We search somebody's car
and all they got is weed,
I don't really believe in
arresting people for that,
so I just take it, give 'em
a warning. Everybody's good.
So, it's a moral choice?
[HARRIS] And it fits my
budget. Moral and economic.
I'm a thinking man's cop.
Plus, I need something since
I kicked the medication.
Something to take the edge off.
[GRACE] Tell me about it.
Your old friend, Steve
fucking Park is relentless.
He was asking about my call
to you at the bar that night.
He's got your cell records.
There's nothing for him
to find in my cell phone
except for all the nude
photos I keep sending you.
I wish.
[SIGHS]
I miss you. Are you
coming home this weekend?
Cabin's empty. Billy
decided to stay with Isaac.
Why don't you come home and comfort me?
I got something tomorrow night.
Something I need to do.
Del, what is going on?
I mean, you're hardly ever here. The
deal was you come home on weekends
and now you've missed three in a row.
Trying to run away from me?
Are you getting back involved
with those guys, Del?
Can you talk to me? I mean,
I want you to trust me.
I want you to trust me so that we
can talk and we can be together.
It's not that.
It's me I don't trust.
What does that mean?
To make good decisions.
I need to know I can think
straight when I'm with you.
That makes me sound very powerful.
You are. With me, you are.
[TRAIN RATTLING ON TRACKS]
[BELL RINGING]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[PHONE BUZZES]
- Yeah?
- It's Angela. We found the wife
in Highland Park.
Send me the address,
I'll meet you there.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
I believe more than ever that Harris
- left that bar and drove to West Vir
- Cell records say otherwise.
- [STEVE] Both the bartender and
- Because she thinks he says "Steve?"
And the pistol and the flak jacket
- he stole from the gun locker say he did.
- No, they do not.
All they say is somebody took
'em, and you can't prove who.
How many people have
keys to the gun storage?
Five Buell police officers.
They each swear they hadn't
been in there in months.
And how many retired
officers still have keys?
[CHUCKLES]
It's been four months and you keep
hosting these bullshit progress reports.
It's not a progress report if
there hasn't been any progress.
It's called a conspiracy theory.
Two drug dealers and
an old lady are dead.
Nobody gives a shit.
You can't convince a jury
it was Harris based on
what you've got, so move on.
That's why he's looking
for more evidence, Frank.
I convinced Del to step
down from his job in Buell.
I said there was too much rumor
going around for him to do his work.
Rumor started by you. And
he did, he stepped down.
You're the chief now.
That's your victory.
Take the win and move on.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
Don't say anything to Frank,
but I'm finally able to get us
into that cabin in West Virginia.
They preserved the crime scene?
That's what they tell me. I promise you,
as soon as I'm re-elected,
I'm going after Harris.
I was at an academic publishing
conference in Morgantown.
I had my phone off all day, so
I didn't hear what happened
until late last night.
When I turned it on,
the phone just lit up.
I had like 150 messages.
Why was your phone off all day?
I was at a series of talks.
They tell you to shut it down.
At some point, I I
just forgot it was off.
Do you normally forget
to check your phone
when you've left your
daughter alone in Pittsburgh?
She wasn't alone, she was
staying here with my parents
who I trust because they raised me.
Can I ask why your
daughter She's nine, yes?
- Yes.
- Why she wasn't staying with your husband?
It just seemed like
a good opportunity
My parents love having her here
and it would give Liam a break.
Your husband.
Yes.
[ANGELA] Okay.
Do you have kids? It's okay
to take a break once in awhile.
Did you go alone to the conference?
Yes, I did.
Do you have a book coming out?
No.
Did you meet anybody there?
I do have friends, but
I wasn't meeting anybody
in the way you seem to be implying.
What am I implying?
Professor McKenna, can you think
of any enemies Liam might've had?
Anyone who could've wanted to hurt him?
Well, um, he was an
an 11th grade teacher.
He was really strict.
I know he made some enemies that way.
Who might want to murder him?
[NELL] Maybe.
You're talking about high school kids?
They're 18 by the time they graduate.
- Oh, thanks, Marisa. Mm.
- [GRACE] Thank you.
Like what you see?
Oh, I'm just browsing, not shopping.
All you have to do is sign.
We got no assets to divide,
there's nothing to argue about,
and I even brought you a pen.
I didn't think you
were serious about this.
I am so serious about this. And
I'll pay for the filing fees myself.
I've been working down
at Bethany's new shop.
You really think this marriage
is "irretrievably broken?"
Well, at least there's no fault
here so you're not blaming
Oh, I do blame you.
I'm not the one living
in my boyfriend's house.
Virgil, if you had a
boyfriend and he had a house,
I'm sure you'd be living in it.
[CELL PHONE RINGS]
Hey, Billy, what's going on?
Meet you where?
Okay. I'm heading out.
Look, just sign the papers,
all right. I'll pick 'em up later.
[VIRGIL] Wait, I
thought you were buying.
I'm just kidding. I'm kidding.
Hey, split it though, right?
Shit.
Hey, Marisa. Hey. Come here,
darling. I'm lonely. Come.

It's good.

I've barely seen her. She

I did hear that.

fight and let you figure it out.
- I look forward to that.
- [CHUCKLES]
[KISSES] Stop worrying about me.
Mm. How 'bout you have a kid
of your own, then we'll talk.
[GRACE] I haven't been
here in a long time.
It's still beautiful.
Except for that.
It can get cleaned up. If you want.
What's that?
The deed to the property.
I paid off the mortgage
with the settlement money.
All I wanted was enough money to cover
your debt so you could have your land.
That's all.
And now I can start trying
to put everything behind me.
You know, I don't know how
you turned out this way,
given who your parents are.
Don't cry, Mama.
Mm.
You are an amazing young man.
I've never owned anything
in my life before.
I know.
Me neither.
[RINNA] There is a reason
I come highly recommended.
I'm aware of that, but can't
help feeling that our Texas firm
would've had this
shit wrapped up by now.
Well, and they'd be in front of a
Texas judge who's grown up on oil.
Fracking's new for a lot of people here.
- Be patient, we'll come out on top.
- [SCOFFS]
You sure about that?
We just have to go through the
process. I'll call you with any updates.
All right, do that.
- I'll talk to you soon.
- You bet.
[OFFICE PHONES RINGING]
Hey, how's it going over here?
Hi, Rinna. Um, you know, plugging away.
Well, I hate to spring this
on you at the end of the day,
but we have got to produce
some more discovery.
Mr. Evans decided to
accompany the boxes here.
Oh, dear.
- Yeah, he's feeling a bit stressed.
- Okay.
This needs to get sorted tonight.
You should find whatever
you need in these boxes.
- You can also check through those again.
- Not a problem. I'll handle it.
You're the best. I'll keep my
cell on if you have any questions.
Mm-hm. Have a good night.
I would say "you too," but
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Jesus, fuck! Where the
Where'd you come from?
You good for later?
Yeah.
The principal at Liam McKenna's
high school called back.
He was royally pissed that
Nell accused one of his kids
of trying to hurt a teacher, and
get this, he was friends with Liam.
Know what Liam told him? That
his wife was having an affair.
- Did he know with who?
- No.
Do we still believe Nell McKenna
wasn't meeting someone in Morgantown?
I think we've got a day
trip tomorrow to find out.
[BILLY EXHALES]
Another, or I'm drinking this myself.
Come on, Billy, lift!
- [GRUNTS]
- [CLANGS]
Good boy.
But just the one.
I never realized how
much of a sadist you are.
I never realized what a pussy you are.
How'd they let you play linebacker?
You shoulda been the water boy.
You know, I really miss the old
Isaac, nervous, no confidence.
Is all this confidence
'cause of coming out?
Is that what normally happens?
Why don't you try it and see.
[CHUCKLES]
You meeting the preppy
college dude tonight?
The one with the schlong
like a cricket bat?
I warned you about unbuckling him.
[SIGHS] Nah, I don't think so. I
don't want to leave you by yourself.
- I'll make us some dinner and we can
- You should go.
I'm not gonna abandon you.
Seriously, I'll be asleep
in 20 minutes. Go have fun.
[BOTTLES CLANK]
All right.
Just duck if he swings it really hard.
- Could give you a concussion.
- [LAUGHS]
[BAR MUSIC PLAYING]
[BILLIARD BALLS CLACK]
- This one's on me, baby!
- Well, thanks, darlin'.
- Mm-hm, you stay as long as you like.
- Okay.
Why's he getting free drinks?
Because he's the competition and I
want him here, drinking in my bar,
not at his own bar, restocking to
reopen. It's capitalism, sweetheart.
But for you guys, it's $6.50.
Thank you, baby.
She keeps calling me
sweetheart, I'll pay all night.
Call me sweetheart
again, keep the change.
Thank you, sweetheart! Aren't
you supposed to sign this?
Oh, you're worried that now you have
to compete for women with Dennis,
the Love God.
[LAUGHS] Fuckin' sucker.
I am a sucker. I'm totally at her mercy.
You can't get more guesses
by having me draw tits on it.
No, no, no, just draw one tit.
I know what the word is,
all I need is one tit.
- Just one tit.
- Hey.
- Hey, darlin'! Hey.
- Hey.
Pull up a chair. If you call Dennis
sweetheart, he's gonna buy you a drink.
I don't need a drink.
I just need some signed divorce
papers from my ex-husband.
Um
Oh, man! [CLICKS TONGUE] What the fuck?
During the course of an entire day you
can't manage to sign your name twice?
And I'm gonna have to
print these up again.
What's up, Grace? You finally
letting this little dog off the leash?
He's been yapping to
get free for so long.
Stop talking.
Stop talking to me,
stop talking about me.
Wha What?
Steve Park comes around,
you start telling stories?
Grace, it is not what
Shut your mouth. Don't say my name.
And if you can't keep your
mouth shut, I promise you,
I'll come back here and shut it for you.
- [DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]
- [OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
Here's what they need to do.
They need to combine
electrical engineering
with a sense of equity and justice.
A lot of the world exists on a spectrum.
Spectrum between positive
and negative electrons?
Sure, yeah.
Carnegie Mellon is
actually teaching you this?
No, we're teaching them. We're
all constructed of mass and energy.
And if so many of us
can't be categorized
then it should follow the pattern.
You're very boring.
Oh Sorry. I thought you
said you were into science.
Uh, I think I've moved on.
Excuse me a minute.
I'll save your seat. Did
you look at my photos?
[WATER RUNNING]
[PANTING]
You're not a scientist, are you?
Fuck no.
Good.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[SNIFFS]
[LIGHT CLICKS ON]
You passed your test.
Welcome back to the Brotherhood.
Mike, you could've gotten yourself shot.
You too, breaking into
a stranger's apartment.
- [EXHALES]
- [FISHER] Whoa!
Welcome back.
You're a part of this?
It's a nice group of guys.
You weren't questioning
me for Internal Affairs.
Gotta see how you
hold up under pressure.
Shit! Who turned off
the fuckin' hall light?
Just smacked my head on
the fire extinguisher.
Back in the fold, Detective
Harris. Good to have you back.
- You motherfuckers!
- [FISHER] Welcome back.
- Man. [LAUGHS]
- Old school is back.
You had me, you had me. You
had me. You really had me!
Whoa, God damn!
[ENGINE STARTS]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
I'm in.
You didn't get anyone naming names.
No, not yet. Next time.

[HARRIS] This season on
American Rust: Broken Justice
[STEVE] Chloe Tatlock was just
found dead at the Main Street bar.
Shot through the throat.
You didn't do it, so there's
nothing to worry about. Right?
Am I being charged with something here?
Because if not, I believe
you need a warrant.
Have a nice day.
[MAN] It records up to 160 hours.
If we don't get names and plans,
we got nothing.
[HARRIS] He's a loud
mouth and a loose cannon.
I happen to think he could be the
key to cracking this thing wide open.
Please, let me report him. He
can't keep doing this to you.
We're just going through a rough patch.
You seem different. It's like you're
keep a part of yourself from me.
This can't happen again.
I like clean, hard lines.
Separation of church and state.
Are you the church or the state?
[HARRIS] I don't mean to alarm
you, but people are winding up dead.
If there's one thing I
know, you never ask questions
you don't already know the answers to.
[HARRIS] This is a
very serious situation.
And lives may be in danger.
