Search Party (2016) s03e03 Episode Script

1 They said to meet them on the beach.
Well, where the hell are they? Is that them? No.
Those people have pitch-black hair, right? I think that is them.
Hey, is that you guys?! Hey! Hey, you guys! Come out! No, no! You come in! This is the only way for us to talk without being recorded! It's smart of us! - Okay.
- Okay, yep.
Cool, cool, cool, cool.
Obedear, the sky is low Watch fluent seamen rig their rudders I'm sorry.
It's clear we're not wearing a wire, And my eyes are full of saltwater! - I'm getting out.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Go, go, go, go, go, go! Dory, what did the police say? Okay.
So, Drew and I are being charged with first-degree murder.
What? But we're pleading not guilty.
I made a very public statement That said that we had nothing to do with the crime at all.
So we all just have to embrace that in moving forward.
And I know that sounds crazy, 'cause there's mountains of evidence against us.
And we should've said that it was self defense.
Why didn't you just say it was self defense? It felt right to me in the moment.
Because this way it's like nothing happened, You know what I mean? It's like we didn't kill anybody.
We didn't clean anything up.
It's just It's cleaner this way.
Dory, is it, like, a crazy idea to, like, just take this back? Like, maybe we can amend it? I just really do not think I have it in me to lie! I really don't think I can lie, Dor! You know what? I can't live like this.
I need to know who tipped off the police.
And I'm sorry but right now, for me, it is, in fact, Drew.
I'm sorry.
It has to be you.
I think it was April.
It wasn't April.
Dory, how could you know? 'Cause! I gave her the money.
All right? She gave me the tape and I I destroyed the tape.
And that was that! Wait, what money? What? I stole Gail's jewelry, all right? I don't want to talk about it.
I'm ashamed! Look, don't you think it's possible that April, she She took the money and then she called in the tip.
I mean, she's crazy! It wasn't April, okay? When I saw her, we ended up having, like, a long coffee, all right? And we And we started talking.
Like, you know, we were talking about our childhood and And then she just said, "You know, I think This this city is really getting to me.
" And I was like, "I know, man New York.
" And And then she said, "You know, I think I'm gonna go somewhere tropical.
" So she went.
We actually got along.
She's cool.
She's cool?! People can change, Drew! She's a psychopath.
And you're a psychopath.
You're all psychopaths just manipulating and killing people all the live long day.
Okay.
I have something to tell the group, And I want everyone to keep a really open mind before responding.
Please tell me that you didn't kill someone else.
No! But I think that I have an idea of maybe who called in the tip.
And actually, I definitely know who did.
Oh, my God.
Oh, no.
Who? I told Elijah, but it was a secret and then he told his stage manager friend.
And then she called in the tip! Portia! Wait, are you serious? God, why are you such an idiot, Portia?! I am not an idiot! You didn't have a plan for April! And I thought we were going to jail And none of you were there for me And I thought if I didn't tell anyone I was just gonna die! All you had to keep your mouth shut for one night.
One more night and we would have been fine! Guys, stop it, okay? It is what it is.
Let's just drive home And stop at that really good ceviche place in Water Mill and just get taken in for questioning already.
You know what you're supposed to do now, right? Yes, Dory.
So what happened that night? Nothing.
We were sleeping.
Good.
DREW: Okay.
Oh, seat belts.
Hi.
Officer Hartman, hello.
Let Let me just tell you why I'm having a very bad day.
Yesterday, I made a very public statement to the press detailing my intention to press charges on two young, foolish individuals that I believe you are acquainted with.
And then this landed on my lap.
Now, uh, you said in your statement, which you signed, that a man known as Fat Frankie confessed to killing Keith.
And so then he shot you and you shot him.
Dead.
Would you say that's 100% accurate? Well, if it's in the statement that I signed, and this does look like my signature so, uh, I suppose yes.
Well, all right.
I guess I'm just gonna have to turn this over to the FBI now.
- Gentlemen? - The FBI? Franklin "Fat Frankie" Medici was one of the most trusted informants the Bureau has worked with for the past 40 years.
Ooh.
The day Franklin died, he was wearing a wire.
Oh good.
That should help clear this whole thing up.
JOY: Oh, shit, shit, shit! Okay.
I know what I have to do I have to do.
I have to I'm gonna have to shoot myself.
So So So if you were standing there and I was standing here, Then I should just shoot myself right here.
Okay.
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
[GUNSHOT.]
[SCREAMING.]
Hmm.
I, for one, didn't hear "I killed Keith and now I'm gonna kill you.
" Did you? All I know is what I heard in the moment.
Did you even listen to the recording? What I heard is what I heard.
Due to the sensitivity of the ongoing FBI case, your signed statement will be redacted and sealed away.
The Bureau will not be pressing charges.
However, you will find that a letter of resignation has already been turned in to your superiors.
I've never heard of anything like this in my life.
Maybe you can get a job in the industry of hearing aids.
Huh? Huh? [GASPS.]
- What? - I forgot the van.
Someone'll make use of it, right? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
Oh, God.
Oh, my God.
Don't shoot! Drew.
- Oh, no, no, no, no! - Portia, Portia, Portia Oh, shit.
It's happening.
- PORTIA: No, El! No! - Should we do anything? - No.
- PORTIA: That's my friend! They know what to do.
I'm not worried, you know? They were there And they know how to stick to the truth, so it'll be fine.
Yeah, that's great.
Um, I'm sorry.
- Drew? - Yeah.
Um, where's Bob Lunch? He was supposed to be here an hour ago.
Right, yeah, sorry.
I mean, I've called him twice already.
And I don't feel like I have the type of relationship With him yet to call him more than that.
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
Okay, yep.
Well, that's probably him.
- So, just, uh Oh.
- Does Dory and Drew live here? - Yes.
Hi, Bob.
- I'm Drew.
- You're Drew? - I am, yes.
Hi, Drew.
It's wonderful to meet you.
- How's your dad? - Oh, he's good.
DREW: He says the best stuff about you.
Oh, God.
I'm so disoriented.
Oh, so you must be Dory.
Yes, I'm Dory.
Hi.
It's nice to meet you.
Oh, I just want to make sure I'm in the right place.
I was in another apartment.
I thought I was in the right apartment.
But I wasn't.
I don't even know who the people were.
They said they were Drew and Dory.
I talked to who knows who for 20 minutes.
I hope I didn't say anything that'll incriminate us.
Oh, this city.
So much chaos out there.
This wouldn't happen in Chicago.
'Cause in Chicago, you know what there are? There's one Dory, and there's one Drew.
Hey, I'm gonna close my eyes for a minute.
- Do you mind? - Um, no.
Yeah.
Do whatever you need to, um, feel comfortable.
[SNORING.]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS.]
I think these are mimosas! Ooh.
All right! I know, right? So it hit me.
Women want to see themselves in the product.
Easiest way to do that? Give each one of my own - premium fudge pops Its own distinct personality.
So, you like to dance? Then you'll like the Calypso Queen pop.
Or maybe you were more into the election, So you're more a Politichick pop.
Wow.
Not to be weird, but you are so inspiring.
This is all, like, so good for me to hear Because I'm just in a place right now where I need to pay a lot of people back for saving my life But, like, I don't know the first thing about Starting a business or, like, what my interests even are.
All I know is I need to get it up and running by next week.
Oh, my God, this is perfect! We're all gonna take Melissa's worksheet.
Girl, that thing is foolproof.
You'll walk out of here with a whole plan, a direction, And a thousand new connections.
Ohh, I'm so glad I paid to come to this meet up! So, how did both of your fingerprints end up on the suitcase he was buried in? I don't know.
I mean, that's the part that - really scares me, to be honest.
- Yeah, no.
That is It's crazy that that happened even though, as you said to the press, Dory, that we had absolutely nothing to do with Keith's death.
- It's tough.
- It's tough.
- It's so tough.
- It's a tough one.
Yeah, that was absolutely frustrating.
DORY: Okay, look.
We did not do it! So So can you come up with a defense That proves we did not do it? Because that's the truth.
- Do you understand? - CASSIDY: Yeah, I know.
I just need to know that I can trust you.
No.
I need to trust you.
No.
I-I just mean, like, the The quote you gave to press.
You know, when you threw that out there, It really hamstrung our case strategy.
So if we switch to self-defense now, It just looks like we underestimated How much they had against you and panicked! Look, I don't need your permission to do anything.
I'm not stupid, and I don't regret saying what I did.
So you need to stop crying about it and do your job.
It hurts my heart to see women fight.
[GROANS.]
You okay, son? Yeah.
I just, uh I don't feel so good.
I'll get you some, uh, ginger ale, huh? We don't have any, Bob.
Uh-oh.
That's what I like to see! Young love! - Do you get it? - Great idea! If I'm allowed to speak, um, you two should consider acting more couple-y.
You know, like holding hands like you're a united front, Stuff like that.
Sure.
Yeah, that makes sense to me.
Yeah.
What's not to love about Dory? Aww.
Why don't you two give each other a kiss for me.
Or not.
GALLION: So.
Elliott Goss.
Thanks for coming in.
Shouldn't take long.
You comfortable? Can I get you some water? Oh, I would absolutely love that.
I have a bit of beach mouth that I'm a little self-conscious about.
I'll make sure someone gets you some water.
I understand you spent a little time In Montreal in the last few No! No, no, no, no.
We will not be talking till my lawyer friend gets here.
And we all know that is well within your rights, but Flalah wizuuh yaa ruu.
What? Wah? Mr.
Goss, I know you have a wild reputation But I think you should know I'm an unbreakable woman.
Your tricks won't work on me.
Peha walla fuzzalla.
[BREATHES SHAKILY.]
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
Ah.
Sorry for the wait, Ms.
Davenport.
- That's okay.
- I'm Detective Velasquez.
Thank you so much for talking with me today.
You doing okay? Are you cold? Do you need a snack? No, I'm okay.
Thank you so much, though, for asking.
I hope we're not inconveniencing you too much.
Oh, no.
I'm so happy to help.
So I'm just gonna wait for my lawyer.
Okay, no rush.
We can just get to know each other while we wait.
- Ruff, ruff! - Oh, my God.
Patsy! [BOTH LAUGH.]
Oh! - Wow.
- Sit, sit.
How are you? Oh, my God.
Why did they dye your hair? What did you do to his hair? We didn't touch his hair.
And you never will.
Ugh, thank you, by the way, for saving the day.
I know this is totally last minute And, like, very unfair to you.
But this just sprung up on me.
Yeah.
You got to give me more of heads up.
- You caught me shopping.
- I'm sorry.
Do you want to see what I got? Yes! So, this Okay.
[GASPS.]
Originally $900, marked down to $850.
No! This one Will I wear it? Probably not, but it'll live in my closet.
- Uh-huh.
- People, please.
Can we put the purchases down and focus? Lady, my client is not gonna talk to you.
So you might as well calm down and try to be our friend, 'cause we're fun.
Feel this.
Feel the softness.
How soft is that? Is that soft? It's soft.
VELASQUEZ: What about your friends? My friends? Yeah.
Nothing related to Keith Powell's death.
That's all for when the lawyers are here.
I'm just curious how you, Dory, and Drew met.
Okay, so just like, friend stuff.
Just friend stuff.
When I lift, just that.
- Oh, my God.
- Just an inch.
All of a sudden, we have a new person.
- Yeah.
- Someone who's open to love.
Right.
And also the lip gloss It even just kind of creates the impression that you have lips.
I don't think I would've chosen this color.
Mm, but that's because you are a fear-based person.
- You're very, very, very afraid.
- Mm-hmm.
And you wear that like a cloak.
- You think you need it.
- Yeah.
Thank you so much.
But you don't, and that's why we're gonna change you To your very core.
You're becoming radiant, slowly but surely.
- Mm-hmm.
- Stop it.
I am not.
And how did Keith Powell get involved with your friends? Um I understand if you don't want to talk about him, But we're just looking for simple information here, understanding his motivations.
Like, did he seem like a nice guy or a creep to you? Oh, Keith? Um, yeah.
He definitely had, like, a little bit more creepy vibes Than nice vibes, for sure.
Creepy over nice.
So you interacted with him? No.
I didn't and I never n Even knew him.
I just was I'm just going off what Dory told me.
What else did she tell you? PATSY: So let's try it again.
And this time, I want you to really mean it.
So just, like, bring it.
Okay.
Paul.
I know that you're an addict.
And I refuse to live this lie with you anymore.
No.
It's still no.
I re PATSY: Yeah.
It started strong.
And it kind of plateaued and dipped.
Yeah.
Well, well, well.
Looks like play time is over.
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I betrayed you.
The only reason I went along with this makeover Is because I was stalling.
Remember that delicious water Mr.
Goss was drinking? We just ran the prints on that glass.
There's a perfect match at the site where the body was found.
How do you explain that? Fingerprints? That's right.
Better start talking now.
Detective Gallion, I thought you were better than that.
I'm sorry to say it, but I know that you're bluffing.
I don't have fingerprints.
Everybody has fingerprints, you idiot.
When I was 12 years old, I pressed my hands - onto a hot plate to impress some straight friends.
And they burned off.
Now, do you want to arrest me? Or should I just go? Get out.
Do you want to get drinks? - Let's get drinks.
- I would love And those fingerprints are a perfect match from several key areas at the crime scene.
Are you allowed to do that? Look, I know it's tough, And I know that you want to protect your friends, But you're in really deep shit now.
The forensics don't lie.
So do you really want to keep lying to me about being asleep? I'm just so confused! I don't know what's going on! I thought I was, like, waiting for my lawyer And this was just really nice friendly waiting chit-chat! Listen, this is the one opportunity I have to help you.
If you play your cards right, it works in your favor.
If you play your cards wrong, You're gonna end up in handcuffs.
- No! - Portia, focus.
I know you know who killed Keith Powell.
I don't know! I was sleeping! Don't play stupid! Your fingerprints are all over a dead man.
Tell me who killed him right now! - I don't know! - Bullshit! You don't just forget killing someone! He was already dead! [CRYING.]
He was already dead! So you do know something and you better start talking.
And if you lie to me, it's only gonna get worse.
So, for, like, my big fish I put "heartbreak.
" Can I tell you what I'm hearing? Please! I noticed that you put down heartbreak for about 75% of your answers.
So, is that bad? Not if you take that heartbreak and you put a spotlight on it.
If that's what makes you special, then you have to brand it.
Because on the other side of fear is business.
So, you're saying I should Sorry, what are you saying? I'm saying what does your heartbreak empire look like? Um, supportive.
I love that.
And highly lucrative.
Oh, another word that's coming to mind is luxury.
MELISSA: There you go.
That's it.
A supportive, highly lucrative, luxurious heartbreak Shelter.
Boom.
[GASPS.]
[APPLAUSE.]
Who here knows spreadsheets? I want to pair Chantal up with a wiz.
Ms.
Davenport, you have just admitted culpability for some very serious crimes.
You go to trial with this, you'll be spending A long time in prison.
But, if you agree to testify that everything you've said today is the truth And Dory and Drew killed Keith Powell, you're in the clear.
Just sign here.
Am I still waiting for my lawyer? DORY: Are you still faking your stomachache? I'm not faking it.
I'm actually in this much pain.
So, um where should I sleep tonight? I could go sleep at Gail's.
But I think it looks better for us if If I If I live here.
Yeah.
I don't know, Dory.
I'm sorry.
I'm just having, um, a hard time trusting you right now.
Drew, I'm going to save us.
And I think I need you.
Yeah, I think I need you too.
Dory? Yeah? Why did you say that we were completely innocent? I don't know.
It just felt like the truth to me.
But it's not the truth.
[TENDER'S "NO DEVOTION" PLAYS.]
Well, maybe that's where your mind goes Got your head in the clouds And if you ever come down Maybe we can talk about it And you can tell me what you saw Maybe that's why you drift away WOMAN: So, who's Dory? MAN: Dory's my best friend.
Aww.
That's sweet.
What's she like? She's strong.
She's dynamic.
She's famous.
And we both have something in common.
We're both misunderstood.
Hey, that's cool you can maintain adult friendships.
How long have you been friends? Uh, we haven't met yet.
Oh.
Well, I hope you get to meet! Oh, we will.
I'm sure of it.
Tell me what I'm doing wrong I'm wearing thin, but holding on For you For you I don't know why you try so hard To fill the void, you tore a part from me You clearly meant it You can't embrace it
