Will Trent (2023) s04e17 Episode Script

[ANGIE] Previously on Will Trent
There's this guest lecture
coming up about human parasites.
- I thought you might be interested.
- Why, yes.
Amanda was secretly working
with a contact at the FBI.
Why didn't she say anything?
[ADELAIDE] Will, I've
left you a little present.
No. No, no, no.
Amanda [SOBBING]
[MOURNFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[FAITH WHIMPERS]
Amanda entered the APD a young woman.
For some of us old-timers,
she was Wags.
[FAITH] She had this gift
of seeing who you could be,
and then pushing you down that path.
Amanda found me.
[EVELYN] She was planning a
life with you. You're connected.
She is your family.
- [VENDOR] Hey! Come back here!
- [PANTING]
[VENDOR] Thief!
[SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE]
[VENDOR GRUNTS] Stop him!
- Excuse me. [GRUNTS]
- [PEDESTRIANS SCREAM]
- [VENDOR] I saw you!

[BOTH GRUNT]
[VENDOR] Hey!

[DOOR SLAMS]
[CHATTERING]
[SERGEANT] Wilbur Trent.
- [KEYS JINGLE]
- Get up. The captain wants to see you.
Me? Why?
Beats me. Guess you must
be somebody special.
[DOOR CREAKS]
- [POLICE RADIO CHATTER]
- Okay. Here we go.
Murder.
Victim one, Ethan Attis,
age 53, research biologist.
Second victim is Krista
Sanderton, 28. Mr. Attis's girlfriend.
- [SHUTTERS CLICKING]
- [SIREN WAILS]
Ligature marks indicate that,
uh, both victims were strangled.
Minor injuries on the bodies
suggest a struggle.
- [SHUTTER CLICKS]
- [SIREN WAILS]
- [SIGHS]
- [CRIME SCENE TECHS CHATTERING]
[EXHALES]
Could you all, uh, just give me
a few minutes here alone, please?
So both victims were alive when you
and your crew arrived this morning?
Yeah, the girlfriend
answered the door,
took us to the kitchen to meet Ethan.
Once we got started, all the work was
in the kitchen and upstairs bathroom,
so, we never saw 'em again.
Until you found the bodies.
We were finishing up.
I needed a signature.
Called it in, got my guys
outside, waited for you to show up.
So your crew was working here all day.
You didn't hear anything,
see anything?
I swear it's the truth.
[RECORDER CLICKS]
Ethan Attis was a seeker.
Absorbed in his work.
Saltwater aquarium.
Terrarium.
Get a list of species.
Krista's purse was emptied,
contents scattered.
Could be a botched robbery.
Plastic tubing from the aquarium
corresponds with ligature marks.
Murder was impulsive.
House was unlocked.
The intruder slipped in.
Ethan caught him. They fought.
Ethan was strangled.
And then Krista came in,
and she was strangled too?
No.
No, she would have screamed,
run, called for help.
Okay, so so it was Krista who
came in and surprised the intruder,
and so then she was strangled first.
[SIGHS] That's not it either.
Krista was alone. [SIGHS]
Krista was alone.
[STAMMERS] The intruder
came in on her

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[POLICE CHATTERING]
[SIREN WAILING]
[NEIGHBOR] I see the car
every day at the same time.
Thank you. Hey, Will. Wait up, Will.
The neighbor said that Attis had the
same housekeeper every day for years.
Today's the one day she's not here.
- [SIGHS] It's convenient.
- Yeah, I'll track her down.
[WILL EXHALES SHAKILY]
I know. [EXHALES]
I could barely get out
of bed this morning.
Weird scene, huh?
What's your take on it?
Honestly, I, uh
I have no idea what happened in there.

[MICHAEL] Hey.
Hey, how's it going with the plumbers?
Well, so far background
checks are all clean.
We're cross-checking
statements for any inconsistencies.
Looks like Ethan Attis was
some kind of smarty-pants, huh?
Former professor,
research centered on longevity.
He left academia to work for this
startup biotech thing, BeneFuturum.
"Death is optional"?
Yeah. [CHUCKLES]
You've been pregnant for three years.
Thirty-eight-and-a-half weeks,
thank you very much.
Perfectly normal human
gestation period. [SIGHS]
I can't remember a time
when you weren't pregnant.
I'm sorry, is my pregnancy
hard on you two?
I'm just waiting for a toddler
to walk out of your baby oven.
All right. Ethan was fired a year ago.
The official story is that
the CEO, Ward Falcon
That is not his name. I refuse.
Falcon said that, uh, Ethan's research
was "insufficiently monetizable."
They were seen last month at a
public event exchanging words.
Witnesses said it got heated.
Okay. Well, we should
go talk to Ward Falcon.
Okay.
Hey.
Is Trent all right?
[SIGHS]
Um, probably not.
He took copies of everything,
went to his office. I think
I think he's
Yeah. Well, it's gonna be weird
for all of us for a while.
Yeah.
[ETHAN] It occurred to me
that we take this simple thing
that we all do for granted.
You know, sleep has always been
biologically restorative,
but I believe it has the
potential to be transformative.
[INTERVIEWER] And is that the
focus of your current work, Dr. Attis?
[ETHAN] Yeah, without getting
into specifics,
I've been testing a few formulations.
I always take my cues from nature.
Whatever we can imagine,
nature has already solved.
[RECORDING STOPS]
Eduardo, call Seth.
[EDUARDO CHIMES] Calling Seth McDale.
[LINE RINGING]
- [SETH] Hey.
- Hey. Um, Seth, I, uh
Do you have any time today?
It's about a case.
- Could use your help.
- Yeah. I'm free today.
- Great. Um
- I should be available around 12:30.
Okay, yeah. I'll see you then.
[KNOCKS ON DOOR]
[DOOR OPENS]
Hey. Is this an okay time?
Yeah. Um, do you know when, uh,
Pete's gonna be done with his autopsy?
I-I can't get a hold of him.
He is testifying in court today,
so probably not for a while.
- Oh.
- You find something?
I don't know. Um, not sure yet.
So, um, my mom
is packing up Amanda's house,
and she thought you might want
some of these things. [SIGHS]
I can have them sent to your place.
No, um, that's
Can you, uh
Can you put them there, please?
Thank you.
[STAMMERS] Sorry you had to
It's fine. It's fine.
Um, I've got the victim's
housekeeper coming in.
- Do you want to join?
- No.
You got it.
I'll let you know when Pete's back.

the victims are not consistent.

Faith, I think
someone just tried to
Eduardo, call Faith.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS]
- Where'd you come from, little angel?
- Oh, God.
What happened, and who are you?
You're fine. This
is a rather elaborate
protocol for a pretty small problem.
What sort of problem?
[WORKER] A sample from the Attis case,
something from one of the glass
tanks, is technically a neurotoxin,
and it was put
in the wrong kind of container.
There's no threat of exposure to you,
but we still have to test everyone,
send them home, air the place out.
Shall we?
I'm thinking of trying that new
noodle place down the street.
You been? I hear good things.
No. Look, I'm on a case
and I need my phone,
so if we can do this quickly?
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS, DISTORTED]
[POLICE CHATTERING]
Hey, I thought you said
you were clearing
[BANG ECHOES]
Um
You're not supposed to use that phone.
[LINE BEEPING]
That's weird. It's not working.
I'm trying to get a hold
of a friend. [SIGHS]
She works here. Um
- May I?
- No, you may not.
You know who works at that desk?
My mom works at this desk.
Okay. So,
I think we started backwards.
I'm Will.
I'm Faith.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]
You're Faith?
What are you in for?
No, I'm
Shoplifting.
I've been here before.
- [BANG ECHOES]
- [GROANS]
Something's wrong with my head.
Trent!
Captain's ready. Let's go.
Captain, here's the collar you
wanted to see. Wilbur Trent.
This is Captain Amanda Wagner.
- Mind your manners.
- [AMANDA] Thank you, Sergeant Heller.
You can leave us.
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYS]
I shouldn't be here.
I have an arrest report
that disagrees.
Wilbur Trent,
have a seat.
I have been taking care
of Ethan's house for years.
I hired the plumbers.
I handle those sort of things,
so Ethan can focus on work.
But you didn't go there today.
His lady friend said it made no sense.
Why clean the floors when the workers
are just gonna tramp in more mud?
Ethan's lady friend, Krista Sanderton,
what can you tell us about her?
I don't know. She's a-a receptionist
somewhere. [STAMMERS]
It's not my business.
You seem to have an opinion about it.
Ethan was smitten.
He is a solitary man.
He is quite awkward around people.
He's never been this happy.
And you and Ethan never
No, no. No. [INHALES]
No, of course not. [SIGHS]
He's a serious man. He's a genius.
So his relationship with Krista
must have surprised you.
She's young, pretty,
hung on his every word.
I mean, what's the surprise?
[SNIFFLES]
Ms. Hughes, did Ethan ever
mention his old boss, Ward Falcon?
Definitely not.
He hasn't mentioned his name
since the day he left the company.
No, Ethan hated him.
[ASSISTANT] Detectives,
this is Mr. Falcon.
If you're looking for a chair,
you won't find one.
Movement is medicine.
You're welcome to use a
walking pad during our meeting.
I'm good. Thanks.
Sure, I could use
a few extra miles today.
[WARD] Jackie.
How can I help you, gentlemen?
We wanted to discuss your
former employee, Ethan Attis.
Oh, yeah. I was so sad
to hear that he died.
He was a genius, but if I may
be frank, he was a mad genius.
- "A mad genius."
- Say more.
I respected Ethan.
That was a world-class brain,
a real disrupter.
But honestly, I should've
fired him years before I did.
[WATCH BEEPING]
Hold up, please. Jackie.
Let's do recovery regimen protocol B.
[EXHALES]
Let's go, let's go.
[JACKIE] Is the green smoothie okay,
or would you prefer
the anti-inflammatory?
[WARD] Green. Green is fine.
I'm fasting the rest of the week.
Tell the neuro group I
want to meet right after this.
- [JACKIE] I'll take care of it.
- You were saying you should have
[WALKING PAD BEEPS, SHUTS DOWN]
You were saying you should have
fired Ethan sooner?
After the paucity
of research funds in academia,
Ethan went a little crazy with
the funds that we had here.
His studies grew more fringe,
more expensive,
and they seemed to be going nowhere.
I started to feel that
he was taking advantage of me.
When's the last time
you saw each other?
I'm assuming you heard
about our confrontation.
It was nothing, really.
I asked Ethan how his research
was going, and he told me to go to hell.
- That's it?
- Ethan was unstable.
He was using himself
as a test subject.
You know what he was working on?
No.
[WORKERS CHATTERING]
So you're telling me if you had a
pill that bought you another 50 years,
you wouldn't take it?
Man, after the life I've had,
I'm grateful to be alive this long.
- Slow down.
- I can't walk any slower.
She coming?
Give her a chance.
- Come on, Jackie, I believe in you.
- [ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
- There's our girl.
- Detectives.
I thought you might like to try some
BeneFuturum products
with our compliments.
Thank you, Jackie.
Is there something you want
to share with us, Jackie?
Uh, I-I was at the conference
with Mr. Falcon and Dr. Attis.
I I heard them arguing.
And it didn't go down the
way your boss said it did, did it?
He had to know
what Ethan was working on
because he offered him his
old job back, plus a huge bonus,
and said he'd fast-track
clinical trials,
anything Ethan wanted for this
game changer, some formula.
Well, what did
Ethan say to this offer?
"Over my dead body."
Why were you stealing?
I was hungry.
You ever think about getting a job?
I had a job, but the friend I
was working with had to go away.
Rafael Wexford. Correct?
And the reason he "went away" was
because he was arrested for murder.
That's the truth they decided on.
People like you don't care.
First thing we need to get straight,
you don't know people like me.
Tell me about this job.
I was a salesman.
Handmade Turkish rugs.
Any good?
[CHUCKLES] Well, I was moving
20 units a week at $3,500 a unit, cash.
Which is really a remarkable price
for an original, durable work of art
that'll be in the family
for generations.
A quality rug makes
a statement. You might wanna
Mm-hmm. So you read people,
gain their trust,
talk them out of their money.
Well, not exactly.
That takes insight.
And skill.
You and I both know this isn't
your first time breaking the law.
Is this how you intend
to go through life?
- [TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]
- [WILL] I remember this.
I was so afraid.
Why didn't you tell me it was you?
- It was you who saved me.
- [CRYING]
[WILL] You knew exactly who I was.
[CHUCKLES]
You knew my mother.
Everything could have been
so different.
You want to be taken seriously?
You need to be a serious person.
You want to stop
feeling sorry for yourself?
- Be of service.
- Be of service.
I know this case.
I can't seem to get my mind clear.
My hands are so cold.
- [HIGH-PITCHED RINGING]
- [POLICE CHATTERING, ECHOING]
[BANG ECHOES]
Amanda?
[DOOR CREAKS, SLAMS]
[KNOCKS ON WINDOW]
[GRUNTS]
I came down here
to look at the bodies.
[METAL CLANGS]
- Ow.
- [BANG ECHOES]
Someone attacked me.
- [GROANS]
- That's a good brain you got there.
It's a shame you don't really
use it for more than just getting by.
[WILL SIGHS]
You know, you don't know
anything about me.
Something else is going on.
This isn't real.
It's in my head.
Obviously.
But why? I got attacked
- [ATTACKER GRUNTS]
- hit on the head
[METAL CLANGS]
I must be unconscious.
Excellent.
[BLOWS] Why is it so cold?
Figure it out.
Oh, what? You're gonna tell me you
can't, because life has been unfair?
- You can't read? People say you're stupid?
- [SIGHS]
Why were you always so hard on me?
Because my father's father
was hard on him.
- He was hard on me.
- Mmm.
[AMANDA] And now
I'm being hard on you.
So think.
If you were the attacker and
you didn't want to get caught,
what would you do?
I'd hide the body.
The cold I've been feeling, the dread,
the whole world closing in on me.
I know where I am.
- [BANG ECHOES]
- [GASPING]
Okay. Fine. Thank you. Bye.
[SIGHS] Are these Krista Sanderton?
Yes. Aka Kristin Sandvale.
They both are.
Three years ago, she was arrested
for check fraud, Fulton County.
Six months later, took a collar
for slinging counterfeit Gucci bags
out the back of her trunk.
- Well, so much for being a receptionist.
- Well, she kind of was.
Earlier this year,
she was at the front
desk of Mount Olympus Athletic Club
Oh. Isn't that place expensive?
People join it for the flex.
Exactly.
She was fired for ingratiating
herself to male club members
and ripping off their credit cards.
No charges were pressed because
the club didn't want the scandal.
Do you think she was
scamming Ethan, though?
It's not like his pockets
were that deep.
I know.
Maybe it was one of the guys
that she ripped off coming after her,
and Ethan was just collateral damage?
Hmm.
- Have you seen Will?
- He might have gone home.
I texted and told him that I would
cover him if he needed another day.
[ANGIE] Oh, my God.
[SCOFFS] God, you guys
are babies here.
[FAITH] Hmm.
Yeah. She had it at her house.
How you holding up?
You know, I guess I thought that work
would keep my mind busy, but, um
Yeah, I know.
Oh. Why do I feel so, uh, peaceful?
Hmm. Possibly the rise
of carbon dioxide.
Creates a sense of euphoria.
Right.
The morgue drawers are closed
by a magnetic seal,
and the cold air
creates a partial vacuum.
[LAUGHS] I'm I'm gonna
run out of air and suffocate.
[LAUGHS] Yes, excellent.
Um Oh.
Look at this new suit. [CHUCKLES]
- Gotta look the part.
- Hmm.
And you will pay me back.
That's right.
- You bought me my first good suit.
- [SIGHS]
- You saw something in me.
- No, no, we're not doing this.
I mean, would it have killed
you to invite me over to dinner?
Ask about my life,
told me about yours?
God, this is a long elevator ride.
I don't know anything
about your childhood, your mom.
Did you go to prom?
Did you
Did you get in trouble? Huh?
You look like you might have.
What did you expect?
That we were gonna go get ice cream
and sing "Ain't No Mountain
High Enough" together?
Yes, why not?
I mean, we both know the words.
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
You are a fool.
Wilbur.
What happened to you
I'll spend the rest of my life
making it right with you.
Why'd you have to go looking
for The Commander alone?
Why'd you keep so many secrets?
I mean [SIGHS]
It's my fault. I shouldn't have
[AMANDA] Hey, hey, now.
Don't you dare take credit
for my actions, young man.
I make my own choices.
Yes, ma'am.
You've only got
a couple of hours left.
How would you like to spend it?
I want to solve a case with you.
I can clear my afternoon.
[CHUCKLES]
[CLICKS TONGUE]
They were both strangled
with the same tubing.
- But the marks are different, you see?
- Mmm.
Good. Details first.
Most people tell themselves a story
and then see the details
that fit later on. Go on.
Well, hers show more force.
She was strangled harder, longer.
She fought back more.
Or maybe she mattered more.
But why?
[AMANDA] In my
experience, murder tends
to be motivated from
one of three places:
the heart, the loins, or the hands.
The hands?
Boy, need I remind you of
what you did with your hands?
Yes, I stole.
Exactly. This work isn't for everyone.
But it could bring purpose and meaning
in a world filled with cruelty.
Wilbur, it could make all that
happened to you mean something.
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
[BANG ECHOES]
I'm a doctor. Very charming.
I like worms.
My first wife died.
It wasn't me, it was cancer.
Recently, I got married
to the love of Will's life.
We're expecting a baby soon.
I'm very happy.
Okay, Doctor. You want to
tell me what you're doing here?
[WILL] Um
[SETH] Will?
I called you.
Yes, it had something to do with
with these photos.
Right, um Ugh, what was it? Uh
Oh. Wor Worms.
You like worms.
That's it. Yes, wait, we-we
we learned about these, didn't we?
Some type of flatworm.
Um, nicknamed, uh
[GROANS] Come on.
- [GROANS] "Landchovies."
- Right.
Yes, very aggressive hunters.
They subdue their prey
by rubbing up against them.
Yes, yes, that's what
I was trying to remember.
They, uh
Their skin secretes something.
- Mmm, uh, let me think.
- Um [GROANS]
Hold on, let me think. Uh, they're
- [GRUNTS]
- Come on.
You know this, right, because
I'm an extension of you.
- Tetrodotoxin.
- That is a neurotoxin.
Wait a minute. That's what the
guy in the hazmat suit said to you.
Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Other
animals have it too. Starfish, newts.
That must be what all these pictures
in Ethan's office have in common.
So what does this tetrodo
[SCOFFS] whatever the hell do?
Well, it depends on the amount.
It disrupts the signals to the
muscles, causing paralysis.
It lowers blood pressure,
slows down breathing.
- It tends to be lethal, but the
- [GASPING]
- [PHONE RINGING]
- Ooh. [CHUCKLES]
Excuse me. This thing.
Oh, shoot. [CLICKS TONGUE]
I need to go save some children
and make love to Angie.
No, don't.
- [SIGHS]
- [WILL GROANS]
I really enjoyed seeing you, Will.
- I hope you figure this out.
- [GROANS]
I don't want you to die.
- Me neither.
- Okay.
Okay, thank you, Seth. I will try.
Well, he was very helpful.
Krista and I only worked
together for a few months, but
[SCOFFS]
No, sorry. No way was
she in love with that guy.
I mean, we heard
they were pretty happy.
Oh, Krista was good at that. She
could make men believe anything.
Like our boss, Simon.
She told him that waking up at
7:00 a.m. triggered her migraines,
so she never had
to work the opening shift.
That girl was always working an angle.
She ever seem scared to you?
Like somebody was bothering
her, anything like that?
Uh, no. She was fearless.
- Too fearless, I guess.
- [FRANKLIN] Mmm.
- Where did you get that?
- Uh, the founder's a member at the gym.
Ward Falcon? Did Krista know him?
Yeah, duh. Didn't she go
to work for him or something?
She told me that after she got fired.
He was paying way more
than what we made at the club.
- [PHONE BUZZING]
- I'll tell Faith.
You sit tight.
Uh, Polaski.
Hey, you busy?
I have 47 seconds,
and they are all yours.
Well, I better make it count then.
Um [STAMMERS]
I don't want to be dramatic,
but I'm a little worried about Will.
Yeah, why?
Well, he's not picking up his phone.
He probably went home
and turned off his ringer.
Anyway, it was
his first day back, so
Yeah, but we were supposed
to meet an hour ago.
He would've texted, right?
I mean, it's just
I don't know.
It doesn't seem like him.
No, it doesn't.
See, right here. Ever since
Krista started dating Ethan,
she was receiving weekly payments
from something called Somni LLC.
It's got to be a shell company,
no doubt owned by Ward Falcon.
Mmm. So he was paying her
to steal Ethan's new formula.
Maybe she got caught.
Yeah, but if anyone was gonna kill
her for that, it would
have been Ethan.
Well, then, who killed him?
[PHONE BUZZES]
Oh.
Hey, Angie.
What?
Hey, Pete, have you seen Will?
- Has he been down here?
- No, no.
He's missing. He had photos
of victims' bodies on his desk.
We thought maybe he came down here.
- [BREATH TREMBLING]
- What's wrong?
I-I just got back from court
and I was about to change.
[STAMMERS]
One of the bodies is missing.
What, like it was misplaced?
No, no, it was here when
I left, and now it's gone.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
How the hell does that happen?
[BANG ECHOES]
[AMANDA, DISTORTED] Will, get
in here. We're running out of time.
Look what I found.
Oh, yeah.
Ethan had the same painting
in his study.
Greenland shark, um
That's all I know.
Oh, come on.
Calvin and his Big Book of Shark Facts
would slap you if they
heard you say that.
I feel sick.
- I know. You're running out of oxygen.
- [WHEEZING]
[GASPING]
But, Wilbur, I need you to try.
Yeah. Okay.
[SIGHS]
Greenland shark. [GROANS]
It can live up to 500 years because
of the cold water, and they're slow.
Their hearts are slow.
The slower the heartbeat,
the longer it lasts.
Worm toxin slows everything down.
Well, maybe Ethan was using it
in his sleep formula to live longer.
There. See?
I'm gonna make sure you go to college.
[STAMMERS] Wait, what?
No, no, I'm-I'm no good at
school. No college would take me.
Oh, I don't want to
hear it. You need a
degree to come work here at the GBI.
That's where I'm headed. Here.
They think I should be happy
[SCOFFS] with captain.
No.
I'm just getting started,
and you're coming with me.
I have a vision.
You trying to make fun of me?
College? GBI?
I can't do that, okay?
Don't do this to me again.
Wilbur
I'm offering you a future.
With me.
If I take it, you die.
You died, Amanda.
[STAMMERS] You died.
[VENTILATED BREATHING]
[WILL GROANS]
Who is that?
He's bad news. Come on.
[GASPS]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS]
- [WILL PANTING]
- [AMANDA WHISPERS] Come on.
[BOTH PANTING]
- Maybe he's here to help.
- No. He doesn't want us together.
- [ALARMS RINGS]
- [ELEVATOR SHUDDERS]
What was the first thing you
saw after you got knocked out?
Nothing. Everyone was gone.
[PANTS] You saw the man
in the hazmat suit.
He told you there was a
neurotoxin at the crime scene.
Your instinct hasn't left you
just because I died.
Or are you gonna keep telling
yourself you can't do this without me?
[WHEEZES]
I kept waiting for this idea
of who I thought you should be.
[WHEEZING]
- I realize I never said
- Will, it's okay.
I know. I knew.
[WILL WHEEZES]
[WILL BREATHING SHAKILY]
Thank you for believing in me.
[SIGHS]
[WHEEZING]
There were signs of a struggle.
[PANTING]
Gash on his cheek.
[PANTING]
It was Krista.
Broken nail.
They were fighting each other.
Her purse. Ethan was searching it.
It was the formula he was working on.
She was stealing it.
He strangled her in a rage.
But the plumbers were home.
He knew he'd get caught.
Ethan wrapped the tubing
around his own throat.
He took enough of the formula, it
would slow his heart
to almost nothing.
Ethan Attis was never dead.
That's who attacked you.
He woke up and escaped.
- [METAL SLIDES]
- No!
- [AMANDA, ETHAN GRUNT]
- [CLANGS]
- Will!
- I should have killed you.
[BOTH GRUNTING]
Wilbur Trent, come on now.
Come on. I need you
to get in the drawer.
- No. I'm not leaving you.
- Yes.
Your friends will find you,
okay? They'll figure it out.
- [ETHAN GRUNTS]
- No.
[BOTH GRUNTING]
- [AMANDA PANTING] Will. Will!
- [WHEEZING]
- [ETHAN GROANING]
- [AMANDA GRUNTING]
[GASPING]
[BOTH GRUNTING]
- [GRUNTS]
- [AMANDA WHIMPERING]
[GRUNTING, GROANS]
[PANTING] I need you
to trust me, okay?
You have to go, now!
[BOTH GRUNTING]
Come on.
Okay. Come on.
I got you. Here. Come on. Okay.
It's time for you to let me go.
[WHEEZES]
I don't wanna leave you.
Don't leave me please.
I will always be with you.
- You hear me? Always.
- [WILL WHEEZING]
I love you, Wilbur.
I love you too, Amanda.
[WHEEZING]
- [DOOR BANGING ECHOES]
- [GASPING]
[MUFFLED] Will.
Will. [SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
- [WILL WHEEZING]
- [OTHERS SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
- [PETE] Oxygen.
- Okay.
Uh, we need medical
[FAITH] GBI! Don't move!
All you had to do was keep running.
You just couldn't leave
your formula, could you?
I'm not a murderer.
All I ever wanted was to help people.
I loved Krista, and she
It all happened so fast.
I was out of my mind.
Yet you still had the thought to hide
the goods so no one
else could find 'em,
and you left a GBI special
agent to suffocate and die.
Too bad for you, he lived.
Put it down. Now!
Turn around.
Ethan Attis, I'm placing you under
arrest for the murder
of Krista Sanderton
and the attempted murder of
Special Agent Will Trent. Let's go.
[SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE]
[SETH] You solved the case
while unconscious,
and you're making good progress.
You should be going home later today.
You're very lucky.
I don't know about that. Um
This year has felt like
all my luck has run out.
I know that kind of year.
Your first wife?
Mmm. [CHUCKLES]
You know, with my job,
I'm around death all the time.
But nothing prepared me
for when she got sick.
I just I had to
watch her get sicker
and weaker, and I couldn't stop it.
And then she was gone,
and my life was over.
But then I had this year.
