In this sturdier part of the city, In this sturdier

part of the city, the sun refused to shine.

People tell me there ain't no use in trying.

Now my girl, you're so young and pretty, and one thing I

know is true, you're gonna die before your turn is due.

I know it.

Watch my mama in bed today.

Watch her jump into the ground.

She's been walking a sliver of your life away.

Yes, I know it.

Walking too late.

Out of this place.

If this is the last thing we ever do.

My.

girl, you're so young and pretty, and one thing I know

is true, you're gonna die before your turn is due.

I know it.

Watch my mama in bed today.

Watch her head in a tub of clay.

She's been walking a sliver of your life away.

Yes, I know it.

Walking too late.

Out of.

this place.

If this.

is the last thing we ever do.

It was.

Okay.

Yeah, okay.

That was amazing.

Yeah, it was.

I gotta go out.

There were a lot behind you.

Well, well!

How do you got to you?

To what do we owe the honor?

Does this girl a client?

Medical examiner's on his way out.

He's gonna write her opinion, is she dead or not?

Tell me what you think.

No.

Not dead?

Are you fucked up though?

Not a client.

Ah.

So what are you here at a traffic fatality?

What are you?

What am I what?

Homicide detective at a traffic fatality.

How come?

Well, I'll tell you if you tell me something.

Shoot.

Well, you're unattached.

Why would you see me socially?

This is social.

She's not a client.

And Marty, I like girls.

How do you always say that?

Mr. St. Louis doesn't have an appointment.

He's wondering if you could have a brief interview right now.

Yeah, sure.

And you can cancel tomorrow's appointment with me in the bathroom.

Should I charge her for the canceled appointment?

She didn't cancel.

She withdrew.

I'll tell you later.

Come on in Mr. St. Louis.

COVID.

Okay.

Still around.

I think my boyfriend is seeing someone.

I'm sure he is.

How do you know?

Nobody ever comes in here saying that when everything's okay.

Want my opinion?

I'm a private investigator, but on a first interview

I do advice for the lovelorn and it's free.

Either ignore the affair or bring it up with your boyfriend in a non-hostile way.

Wine and flowers, honest discussion, honest about each other's needs,

desires, so forth.

The one thing you don't want to do is pay me a hundred

bucks an hour to learn something we both already know.

No, I have to know.

I'm saying you do know.

I need to know specifics.

Who, where, when.

I need to be able to rub it in his face.

Rub it in his lying bastard face.

Hello, Dizzy.

Hey honey, want some mac and cheese?

I already had lunch.

This is dinner.

I'm fine.

I brought some grapefruits.

Thanks, but the kids will need them.

They will need anything that isn't yellow.

They're yellow.

The outside is yellow.

Honey, will you marry me?

I can't marry you, Dizzy.

You're not old enough.

What is my charge?

Well, when I'm older, will you marry me?

Honey, even then, there's a law against it.

What's the law?

People can't marry their aunts.

That's bullshit.

Why?

Because our kids would be your sons and daughters,

but they'd also be your nephews and nieces.

And it gets too confusing.

I could keep track of it.

But we can't break the law.

We can hide.

We can go live in the forest.

There isn't any forest.

A lot of striped shade between here and Vakersville.

Don't talk down where he lives.

I'm not.

I'm just saying there's no trees.

How do you ever feed them fresh fruit?

I feed them like they'll eat.

Parenting is not rocket science.

I'll eat it, honey.

Oh!

Let me peel it for you.

Did you take my charges, Snustable?

Nobody should tell you how to parent.

Don't call your brother that.

And say hello to your aunt.

My aunt?

Shut up, Snustable.

Are you a minor or what?

Shut up!

I'm trying to sleep.

You came home before three in the morning.

You could sleep at night.

Damn it!

Mom, what is this?

Say hello to honey.

I didn't wash the sheets.

You didn't have time.

Mom!

Oh, God!

God!

God!

God!

You didn't have time.

You can wash them.

Me?

Yes, you, Corinne.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

What happened to Corinne?

She's menstruating, ding dong.

It's just a condition.

A condition?

Oh, my God!

It's fine, Dizzy.

Every woman menstruates.

Oh, my God!

You don't menstruate, do you, honey?

Are you excited about their new brother?

They don't even notice the siblings they already have.

Want to go to another one?

Don't tell me how to parent.

If you think this buys you just the help.

Corinne!

I'm not telling you how to parent.

I'm asking you how many you're gonna parent.

Thank you, Nanny.

Home by midnight!

I'm not coming home tonight!

Don't say anything.

I didn't.

Let's have a word since we're your kids.

Yes, you are the light.

Yes, you are the light.

Lower?

It won't go lower.

Tip it lower.

No, no, no.

The point is for me to see your bosom jouncing while we have fellowship.

Yes, you are the light.

Tip it left.

My left or your left?

We're facing the same way, god damn it!

I'm sorry Reverend Drew, you aren't being very clear.

Should I just... What?

Reverend, I was driving up with a shipment with little Joey.

All of a sudden he starts frothing out the mouth like a fucking rabbit.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

Big little Joey or little Joey?

Junior, little Joey.

Okay.

So he's frothing out the mouth like Mr. Bubble.

And all of a sudden he stops frothing and screaming.

And he's dead.

He's dead?

He's dead.

And where is this?

In the cab of the truck.

Yes, where is the truck?

We were in Long Beach, thereabouts.

And I just finished driving and didn't know what else to do quite frankly.

Is he still dead?

What do you mean Reverend?

I mean, I think he's still dead.

That's my guess.

That's not going to change.

So why did you have to interrupt this?

Well...

Sorry, sorry.

I apologize, Mrs. Strike.

No, no, it's all right.

I'll come out.

Joey!

No!

Joey!

He's gone, Joey.

No!

No!

Joey!

Joey!

Joey!

Was he using our matter?

Did he O.D.?

Joey!

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, O.D.

No snot and drool.

Did you know he was using, using our matter?

Nah.

Because it was not his matter to use, it's the church's.

Yeah, of course, Joey.

Yeah, of course.

This is God's punishment.

His will be done.

No, don't hold!

And if I thought for one second that you were using the matter, doing it with him,

taking our matter, our church's matter.

Nah, it's not my style, Reverend.

The body's a temple.

You should see me with a shank weight.

What the hell is he doing?

Back to the warm-up.

Hello, Will.

Here I am.

He says he is.

How you doing, honey?

Ain't seen you in a while.

Didn't go and get sober, did you?

I wouldn't do that.

And don't.

First step on a slippery slope.

Stop drinking.

Start exercising.

Have sex with men.

Vote Republican.

Take it from me, honey.

I've been there.

The lost years.

Honey, I've seen you in a minute.

Want a drink?

No, thanks.

Can you tell me about this woman and me and the botany?

Well, I was pretty angry at her when she didn't show up for a shift Tuesday.

So when I found out she's dead, it's a pretty good excuse for missing work.

So I'm the dope.

I'm a dick.

Mad at a poor dead woman.

People can always find a way to put you in the wrong.

Yeah.

Dead people.

The worst.

Three to one, nothing.

Two, but I can't right now.

Is she working here long?

Hardly.

Nothing.

At all.

A week.

Does she owe you money?

No.

Never even met her.

She called since she was afraid of something the cops couldn't help her with.

They were supposed to be here the day after her shift.

Yeah, well, you can't help her now.

Yeah.

I feel lousy.

She called for help.

I said I'd help.

Couldn't help her real problem.

Taking curves too fast.

I don't know.

Well, know what?

Cops said it was an accident.

I don't know what to tell you.

Lived in Lamont.

That all I know.

You sleep with her?

Me?

No.

A little too pleasant.

I don't like a positive person.

She smiled, you know.

Nice ass, though.

Yeah.

Give her that.

You know, you don't have to stay here when you come up.

You could stay at my place.

No.

Everything OK?

Oui.

But they aren't happy.

Le peuple.

Who's not happy?

Le peuple.

Oh, oh.

Well, why not?

We're doing well.

We're all doing well.

We're getting our share.

They think we are doing not so good, maybe.

We are going to be doing more better with someone else, maybe.

Someone who makes fewer people.

Daddy?

Jesus Christ.

That wasn't my fault.

That people brings police, et cetera.

They don't care about fault.

Someone happens to die in some accident that has nothing to do with our business.

That's not going to ruin my day.

Haven't Le peuple ever heard of God's plan?

Hmm.

I do appreciate you helping with this.

This means there won't be any police.

Et cetera.

I will tell them God's plan, but I don't know.

They are French.

Very... secular.

Honey, oh, Donahue.

To what do we owe the honor?

That woman had a little can.

That one?

There was only one.

Yeah.

And the coroner confirmed she was PFD.

Huh?

Pretty fucking dead.

Yeah, I remember you didn't have an opinion.

Hey, what are you doing tonight?

Book club.

Do you have an address for her?

The dead girl?

I like books.

What was the last book you read, Marty?

Uh... Yeah, what was the one?

Uh... Hey, M.G.

Will you give honey our address in Novotny, the dead girl in Antelope Canyon?

Alright, thanks.

Hey, what's your connection?

You never said.

No, I didn't.

Well, M.G.'s got the address.

Let me know if you find anything.

She lived with her mother.

Mother's a pain in the ass, she won't tell you nothing.

Or it's a traffic fatality, speeding on the curve.

I don't know why you don't like me.

I'm a good guy.

Address you wanted?

Thanks, M.G.

Anytime.

Honey, right?

I love those quick-clacking heels.

Simishnaps?

I got a date.

Ooh.

Not one of my best moments.

Mr. Colligan?

Yeah.

This is not the date, believe me.

Mr. Colligan, I got your order.

Thank you.

Well?

Can I have it?

You're supposed to pay, and for the last order.

So... Oh, fuck's sake.

I'll be right back.

Let's go outside and discuss this, friend.

Look, I have a tab.

This is not a street deal.

I know nothing about that.

I'm supposed to get money, and they said that for the last order you didn't pay,

so... Are you the accounting department?

Listen to me.

I have a date.

This is for a party.

I'm busy.

Can I please have the order?

You're supposed to pay... Hello?

Do you speak English?

I don't have the money on me.

Okay.

I think that we can figure this out.

Just let me have it, and I'll pay you the next time I order.

For right now, I'll suck your cock.

Just to make it right.

Okay?

Motherfucker!

It's a woman!

I'm not collecting anything, and I don't want your money.

Your daughter called me the day before she passed away.

You don't know why she might have called me?

Hell no.

She don't know.

Ma'am?

I really don't.

Somebody calls a private detective.

Somebody got a cheating spouse, or... What?

I don't know.

Mia didn't have no spouse and no steady.

I don't know.

I truly don't.

Detective, that's... the craziest thing.

Someone from this family calling a detective.

It's like calling a cable company when you ain't got any cable.

Why on earth would you do such a thing?

Told you.

She don't know.

She read them self-help books.

I think it was that car.

She was a good driver.

I think it was a malfunction.

She just brought it in for a malfunction.

Just brought it in.

Had to leave it at the shop and ride the bus into town.

We do not ride the bus.

We are not cheap Christmas trash.

We are homeowners.

You ride the bus, Ray?

Hell no.

I drive.

We drive.

We do not ride the bus.

Well, it's hard to fix and give it back to her, but

you know your mechanic will take advantage of you.

That's widely known.

That was from her church in town.

I don't know which one she went to.

She never wore that in the house.

I.

don't know either.

But action ungoverned is not action in service of the Lord.

Action must connect to submission.

And submission is not passive.

And action is not unbridled.

Only when we submit vigorously to the will of God do we serve him.

We submit and yet we act.

We act and yet we submit.

Even to the desire of the body do we submit actively and so serve the Lord.

Now you all know what a piece of macaroni does.

What does a piece of macaroni do?

It just sits there.

And is that macaroni serving the Lord?

We are not macaroni.

We serve the temple through action.

We serve the temple through submission.

We do not serve the temple by sitting there like macaroni.

Now you all know who the Pharisees were.

The Pharisees were high and mighty.

So they thought they knew the law right down to the letter.

And that made them holy.

So they thought.

They knew right.

They prayed right.

But did they act right?

And what does that make them?

The Pharisees were macaroni.

Action.

Duty.

Passion.

Submission.

Those are the four ways.

Those are the only four ways.

And in serving our temple.

Doing our duty.

We serve the Lord.

And we serve his minister.

And there is no higher service.

But he is such a nice boy.

What did he say happened?

I think the guy was sent to collect from made some kind of...

Penis move.

A penis move?

Some move that was against his code of the keys.

Okay.

Couldn't really get a description out of him.

He was very upset.

Upset?

Well, I guess he was.

If the guy is all gunked up in his tire treads.

Clean his tires.

Clean his whole car.

Yes, I know.

But that doesn't make the dead guy go away.

No, yeah.

Most of them are still in the parking lot.

Well, the French are not going to like this.

The French?

Don't worry about it.

It's above your pay grade.

I mean, I have to worry about it.

Believe me.

But Reverend, I don't know how anyone will connect Hector to it.

So no one saw Hector and the guy?

Only the bartender.

Okay.

Well.

Well, we got to kill him.

Okay.

Wow.

Okay.

Well, I'll find out where he lives.

You don't know where he lives?

How would I know where he lives?

Hector?

What are you talking about, Hector?

Who the fuck do you think we're talking about?

The bartender.

Why the fuck would we kill the bartender?

He saw Hector.

And he's talked to the police.

That ship is sailed, dingbat.

That's too bad.

I like Hector.

Grandma!

Yes?

Grandma.

Have you seen a guy?

He's hanging up.

He just washed up.

He has to dry.

Give it to me.

I'll go get him.

I'll be right back.

No, you don't do it.

I'll bring him.

Grandma, I'll bring him.

Don't worry.

It's a woman's job.

Yes, but you work a lot.

Give me a kiss.

I love you.

I love you too.

Go sit down.

I'll be right back.

You never listen.

It's a woman's job.

I love him so much.

He loves me so much.

I don't know what to do with this job.

Grandma!

I'm sorry, mate.

It's not my idea.

Just work.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Seems you were right.

The bartender said your partner had a date.

Though it wasn't with his assailant.

Your appointment with the Gramercy's?

Oh, yes.

And they don't know who did it?

No, not yet.

And they don't know... you don't know who his... who his... his date was with?

To be honest, they hadn't started working on it.

I don't think there's any point in pursuing that now, is there Mr. Siegfried?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I... I... I don't know.

I think it's best if we let sleeping dogs lie.

I'll let you know if there's any progress on the

police investigation of your partner's passing.

Perhaps you have a friend or a clergyman who can help you grieve.

I could make you a, you know, database, computers...

Thanks, I've got a system.

Can you get me a number for MG Falcon?

I don't have her.

Scola Presse.

Personal number.

You ever just go home and read a book?

Number.

What was your name?

Tequila and... just tequila.

Oh, the usual.

Listening to people complain, waiting for five o'clock.

Yours?

So?

Not much down at work.

Had a cheating spouse case, but the spouse got killed.

Case before that client died.

The woman in Antelope Canyon?

Yeah.

No more client want to go to her house.

More than us to do.

You don't have hobbies?

I mean like...

Stop dancing?

Yeah.

Do you?

Have a hobby?

Yeah.

Yeah.

What do you do?

What do I do?

I knit.

You knit?

Yeah.

Right now I'm... I'm knitting the periodic table of the elements.

To hang on the wall.

Because sometimes you forget one.

Doing a reference.

That's right.

On the wall.

That's right.

On the wall is not knitting though.

That's crochet.

Crochet is a kind of knitting.

No, actually.

Crochet is crochet.

I love first date stuff.

Turn-ons.

Turn-ons.

Your trip to Cancun.

Come here a lot?

No.

Ladies?

You?

Another?

We're ready to get out of here.

Before we get arrested.

Forgetting to know each other?

Yeah.

I.

couldn't go home honey.

You know mama just freak out and say I told you so.

She hates Mickey so much.

Yeah, sucks when your parents are right.

Doesn't happen much.

Yeah, but I don't need to hear it from her.

Your boyfriend beats you up and I'm not going to tell your mother?

No.

Yes.

No, she's just in my shit so much already.

She isn't in your shit enough.

She just yells at me honey.

I mean look at me.

I need support right now.

I don't need that.

Please honey, why does mom have to know?

You know she's just going to yell and call the cops.

Cops already know.

Henry's a cop, Corinne.

They don't all look like Tom and Finland.

Oh god.

Oh my god.

We don't have to make it official, do we?

Mickey doesn't mean anything by it.

He loves me.

He just... He gets in these moods.

Your face didn't get pushed in by a mood, honey doll.

Suit yourself.

I gotta get dressed.

Sweetie.

I should tell your mother, but I won't.

If you promise not to see that creep again.

No, no.

I won't.

Of course I won't.

Are you lying?

No I'm not!

Did she put up a fight?

What's the right amount?

It's this.

Mia's robe.

You asked about... That's who buys it around here.

Four-way temple.

That's their address.

It's in their sign.

God's love is free.

You like free love.

Don't you, boss?

Oh god, I don't.

I'm not a pervert.

I'm glad you played.

Act!

Stop!

Stop!

Carrie, you're going to slide back towards me.

And submit yourself actively to my mouth.

Bravely stay within the door.

Lose the sacred contact.

And boo me.

You killed my... You killed my... Hector!

Not in the sacristy!

Get away, Mia's!

Get away!

You're just like your Abuela!

Don't you.

dare!

Big help you were.

He's still there.

So what?

He's been there for three hours.

With one cup of coffee.

He comes to Weiner having her coffee.

He's like, homeless.

And creepy.

Welcome to Weiner heaven, may I take your order?

Give me a second.

A what?

A second.

Give me a second.

I'm looking at the...

Yeah, I'll have the...

Take your time, sir.

Is he still there?

What are you asking?

Just look.

He's just homeless.

He's not creepy.

Okay, I'll have the...

I'll have the combo.

Which combo, sir?

The Weiner combo?

They're all Weiner combos, sir.

What the fuck?

What the fuck?

What the fuck does she want?

We're gonna talk to you is what she said.

About what?

Should I tell her to fuck off?

No, no.

You don't tell people to fuck off.

That's above your pay grade.

I tell people to fuck off.

You want to run the church?

People would love that.

Love to hear your fucking sermons, poor child.

Love to hear your thoughts on divinity.

Are you kidding me?

Know who you are!

Know who you are!

Okay, boss.

So should I... You should shut the fuck up while I think.

Okay, boss.

She's kind of hot, boss.

Mia.

That's what it is.

That's what what is?

Your interest.

I wonder what could possibly bring a private investigator to our little church.

Well, it's mean about me.

Did you know we were personal?

Private investigator.

And so attractive.

Did you know we were personally?

Have dealings with her?

Mia, pastoral dealings, sure.

We were a large congregation, but not that large.

I consider all my dealings personal.

Uh-huh.

But I am puzzled, miss.

Ma'am.

Miss?

Just don't call me late for dinner.

Puzzled why?

Well, because it was a traffic fatality.

It's a tragic thing.

It's a terrible thing.

But why is a private investigator looking into it?

Who says I am looking into her death?

Being that what private investigators do?

On TV, maybe.

What can you tell me about it?

Do you drink?

Heavily.

It's a point of pride.

What can you tell me about her?

Should you and I discuss this over a drink?

No.

This is business.

What can you tell me about her?

After business.

Tuesdays I dry out.

What can you tell me about her?

Are you aware of any trouble she was in?

Today is Wednesday.

Today is Tuesday.

Today is Tuesday.

Can you help me, sir?

Are you aware of any trouble she was in?

Mia was in the same trouble we were all in.

She was lost.

She was seeking.

She was seeking?

I'm not really after that kind of information.

Why are you talking to a priest?

An unusual priest.

Not so unusual.

I have a calling.

I help people.

But you drink.

Judge not, Miss O'Donohue.

You're fascinating.

And you haven't even seen the riddle tattooed on my ass.

This sex thing of yours, does it interfere with your calling?

Does yours?

No.

I keep the sex and the work separate.

Well, my work is spiritual.

It involves the whole person.

Does it involve undressing the whole person?

I've seen the women's wardrobe and it seems very different from the men's.

Women everywhere have wardrobe different from men's.

Now I thought we were talking about Mia.

Now I liked her.

She was a beautiful girl.

I like people.

I can tell that you don't.

I help people, Miss O'Donohue.

I see a need and I feel it.

You see a need and you exploit it.

You don't know that.

I see a need in you.

A need to judge.

I see you judging me right now and that's okay.

I forgive you.

It's your way of shutting me out.

I could help you with that, you know.

Help you open yourself up to people.

Why not open yourself up?

See what happens.

You got nothing to lose but your fears.

Thanks.

I'll stick with my dildo.

It helps me open myself and it doesn't have a creep attached.

See you tomorrow.

See ya.

Did you see Adam?

I saw at least Palmdale.

Next time we'll get in Merced.

I don't usually do all that till a third date.

I don't usually get to a third date.

Next time we're off the map.

Sorry, I might have left some lipstick down there.

That's so good.

It's the only place I wear it.

I had a partner once.

Lasted a couple months but...

I had to end it because...

after sex she'd weep.

Yeah, I've had that.

Why do they weep?

I never asked her.

I knew whatever she said would piss me off.

I guess I want the whole smorgasbord.

And you only want the one thing.

My father used to...

hit me for my table manners.

Well, he hit me all the time.

Always trying to...

beat something into me.

He got up to... military.

Same shit.

War hero.

How'd he deal with the whole lesbian thing?

He never had to...

bonded overseas.

Being a hero... that would not have gone over well.

Years.

Same.

Not sympathetic.

He's still around though, somewhere.

Looking for other people to fuck up, I'm sure.

Let's do it again.

Don't worry, I'll leave after.

Hey!

You know I could make you coffee.

Assistants do that.

But don't begrudge General Young his living.

We all share this little...

Gee, I feel bad.

Start buying bear claws.

How'd it go?

The guy's in creep.

Maybe just a creep, maybe more than a creep.

He wouldn't be surprised if this girl Mia called me because of the church.

I don't know.

Oh hey, stop it!

My job.

You sit and figure shit out.

Oh, Donna, you... Are you around?

Sure, righty.

Right here.

What's up?

Hey, honey.

Have you heard from Corinne?

I'm worried.

Have I heard today?

No.

They called from work.

She didn't show up, she doesn't answer her phone.

When did she leave?

What?

To work.

She didn't, from here.

She was at home last night.

She must have been at the station.

God damn it.

She promised me she wouldn't see that creep again.

I'll go over there and talk to her.

I saw her.

She and Mickey had a fight.

I'm sorry, I should have told you I saw her.

What?

Why did she go to you?

She... I don't know.

I'm sure she just didn't want to be yelled at, Heidi.

What are you looking for?

How could you do that?

You're not her mother.

Sorry, I... Now I know where she is.

I'll take care of this.

How did you do it?

Corinne here?

No, who are you?

Corinne!

Fuck!

Staying short?

Before you get back in your fucking car... What the fuck?

Who are you?

I told you.

Interned relative.

Ant.

When's the last time you saw her?

Fuck you, you cunt.

Not cunt.

Ant.

A-U-N-T.

Every time you say Ant, I'm gonna break something.

When's the last time you saw her?

Two days.

I haven't seen her in two days.

Haven't seen her since you beat her up?

Yes.

No!

Goddammit.

Why do you assholes always have guns?

I just got back.

She hadn't been there.

She told me she wouldn't go back to Maki's and I should have waited.

God, I know who people are.

Hang on.

I love you.

No, it's not her.

I'll call you back.

I just want things to be different between us.

Now.

So you don't want to beat me anymore?

I never wanted to beat you.

Oh.

My mistake.

Me, Heidi, and Mom, we all thought you were trying to hit us.

Look, I'm sorry, honey.

Okay, I wasn't ready to be a father or a husband, but I am now.

I've done a lot of work on myself.

A little late.

Mom's dead.

Yeah, but I could still be a father.

And a grandfather.

You know, I tried talking to Karen.

Who's Karen?

Heidi's...

Corinne?

Corinne.

Yes.

When did you see her?

Last night.

Where?

What did she say?

Nothing.

She didn't say anything.

She just turned and ran when she saw me.

I mean, why would she run away from me?

I don't know.

Dad, sometimes kids are suspicious of old men who look like sex offenders.

I never touched you that way.

I say look like a sex offender.

Why wouldn't she talk to me?

Why won't you?

Where'd you see her?

At her work.

And then after, at the bus stop.

And she just looked at me and ran.

When she saw me.

I mean, all I wanted to do was talk.

All I wanted to do was talk to you.

Why are you so hard?

Training.

Oh, honey.

You're just hitting me back.

And that's not right either.

You know... You're gonna feel bad when I'm dead.

If you leave it like this.

You're gonna feel so sad when I'm dead.

If you don't let me connect with you.

You're just gonna feel bad when I'm dead.

You're gonna feel so bad when I'm dead.

You're already dead.

Hasn't anyone told you?

My.

town, I see the sun so high.

It's where we both live.

It's where we die.

She's half in the shadow all the time.

And if you look at the sounds she lies.

It's where we die.

You know what I like about this one?

They are all pretty much the same.

I didn't give it to him.

Of course not.

But he said it was about me and a lot of me.

Make me a coffee, will you?

Coffee?

What about General Yump?

Fuck General Yump.

Okay, so now I'm confused.

Margaret Tegelwich.

Hi Marty.

Honey O'Donoghue.

Oh, hey Joe.

Look, can I call you right back?

What's your cell?

Yeah, call me at the office.

Why can't I have your cell?

Don't have one.

You carry around a bag of quarters with a pay phone.

You said you had something on the girl in Antelope Canyon?

Yeah, all right.

Be that way.

Yeah, we got the corners report in.

Uh-huh.

And?

Well, first of all, he agrees that this girl is dead.

I remember you weren't totally sold on that.

Uh-huh.

One second.

All right.

Well, you don't remember how tore up she was, right?

It turns out that some of the lacerations are not consistent with car crash.

What does that mean?

Well, she got stabbed and stuff in the car, I guess.

I know what it means, but what does it mean?

I don't know.

We're not a deep thinker, but I will tell you we had another stab in her... A woman?

Elderly woman.

Double homicide.

Well, the victim wasn't just stabbed.

His head was all squashed to shit, but... He had ID on him.

Some guy works for a church, if you can believe it.

A four-way church?

Yeah.

How'd you know?

I'm a detective.

Yeah, well, so am I, but I actually had to make a phone call to figure that out.

Hey, you know what?

Maybe we should get together and we'll compare notes.

We'll talk about detective things.

What are you doing tonight?

Book club.

That was three days ago.

We meet a lot.

Tough book.

Dostoevsky.

I do appreciate it, though, Marnie.

You're my favorite man.

Ah, Christ.

I mean, well, maybe we could... Chug up.

Non-yum coffee.

I don't know what I'm thinking.

Do you?

Do I know what you're thinking?

Quite possibly.

There are all eight balls on my mother's side.

So this girl, Mia.

I never met her, but I can picture her.

A little lost, a little confused, a little fucked up.

Like Corinne?

No.

Corinne has more balls.

But there's this guy that picks on the ones with less confidence.

A sad one.

It's easy picking this.

That creep at the church?

And he goes there?

No.

I mean, I wouldn't have thought so.

And if you've been attacked, if you're vulnerable, they can't relate to you at home.

Where do you go?

This church is sending out signals.

Come here, come here, come here.

Have you been hit enough times you go there?

Maybe.

Maybe you go to a bar.

Yeah, maybe you go to the mall and the movies are rolling.

Still maybe.

Simone, Simone.

Okay, okay.

I'm going to have to do now.

Stupid, I'm going to have to get away.

Stupid Mary, like missionary position?

Yes.

Simone, I'm building like a...

How do you say?

Fire?

Shut up!

Stupid, I'm really going to do it.

Do the business.

Weak.

That was amazing.

Best sex ever.

Hot woman.

Knows what she wants.

So what made you change your mind?

About me?

About us?

Doing it.

I thought you should be able to come.

One last time?

We won't do it again.

You will not.

The French, they are not happy.

Who?

You.

Suspicious activity.

Suspicious activity.

You haven't described any suspicious activity.

The gunshot.

That's a noise.

A noise is not an activity.

Someone firing the gun would be an activity.

If someone fired a gun it wasn't a car back firing.

A car back firing?

That is right.

When's the last time you heard a car back firing?

What does that have to do with anything?

A car back firing isn't a real thing anymore.

I didn't realize it was a thing people still said until you said it.

Well, I'm old school.

Maybe you should acknowledge what century it is.

This is from someone who uses pay phones.

I don't use pay phones.

Oh really?

Marty, I'm trying to scratch your back here.

Remember how I was supposed to scratch your back?

Oh, I remember.

You find out what kind of hanky panky is going on in this place.

It's a feather in your cap.

I bust into a house I got for no reason.

It ain't a feather in my cap.

It's my ass in a sling.

What do you care anyway?

Why were you there?

My niece is missing.

File a report.

What does she have to do with the church?

I'm not sure.

You're not building a very strong case on you, are you?

Fine.

Forget about it, Marty.

I tried to help you.

MG, I knew that you could give me a... Can I help you?

No.

Sorry, I was looking for MG Falcone.

Trust me to cover her shift.

She partied last night.

Is there something I can do?

No, thanks.

Because she's the one cop who might help me.

Okay, well, city registry says that's your address.

Okay, good work.

Well, why didn't you have it?

Never been there and she isn't answering her phone.

Thanks.

I'm almost there.

MG?

Hi.

Do you have a key?

Yeah.

It was open.

Maybe I shouldn't have come in.

I rang.

I was in the basement.

I didn't hear.

I had to find this.

Covered door needs a plane.

See, you found my yearbook.

Those are always funny, huh?

Yeah.

You never wanted your date to stay.

Sorry.

Quit apologizing.

But why didn't you call?

I did.

Your phone's off.

Is it?

Ah, yeah.

Oh, you called a couple of times.

It's my niece.

She's missing.

I was hoping maybe you could help somehow, unofficially.

I know this is crazy, but she works at that hot dog place on Irvine.

And her bus stopped to go home.

She would have been there around the time that you were coming home.

You didn't see her.

No.

Something wrong?

I was wondering the same thing.

It's a little awkward, isn't it?

You come to my place... I tried to call.

No, it isn't that.

I know how this place looks.

MG.

You don't have to... It's old.

It's the house I grew up in.

My mother died when I was a kid, and I told you my father's home.

With what I make, I could have either rented a closet somewhere or stayed here.

I don't care.

It doesn't define me.

Listen to me, MG.

I don't write for El Decor.

Who cares?

So you say.

But you were a little squirrely when I walked in.

Sorry.

Exactly.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Shh!

You think someone's hot, everything about them is exciting, and then...

Second or third date, they open their mouth, say something lame, and...

Whoa, where'd that come from?

I don't know this person at all.

How could I have fucked her?

Pussy remorse.

It's pretty hard to get rid of once it gets you.

Who the fuck would live here?

No.

Yes.

I know what I see.

Pussy remorse.

A little too much Bakersfield here.

A little too real.

And I'm a duchess.

I'm from here, too.

You want a cup of tea?

No.

Head company?

Yeah, head company.

A sad ass!

Anyone who wants to be a victim should get what they want.

They're part of the problem.

Anyone who lets her boyfriend beat her up.

That church girl?

Mia?

Just like your niece.

Women who go to that church are nothing but victims.

That place advertises for victims.

Come here, come here, let me fuck you, let me beat you.

That's what she went for, a submission, honey.

She wanted a beating, she let it happen.

Did you let your father beat you?

Yeah.

But then I didn't, finally.

I stood up.

I decided to do something.

That's a butter knife, honey.

This was my dad's.

Wasn't really a war hero.

You died standing right where you are.

Stab wounds.

A lot of stab wounds.

Then I put them in the car.

Put it up, fire, cooked them all the way.

This place is a fire trap.

No sprinklers.

Not up to code.

It's all up to the sad, isn't it girlfriend?

They won't look for stab wounds on you either.

You're not part of the solution, honey.

You're a good fuck, and we're not doing shit socially.

You think they're gonna look for bullets, and a skeleton in the ashes?

You know what are your fucking needs?

Victims!

Craig!

Craig!

Shh!

I called your office and found out where you were.

And we were both there.

That was weird.

Aunt Honey?

Are you ministering?

Honey, oh darling, you to what do we owe the honor?

Thought you might be able to tell me about the cold cases.

Well, we only found the two hookers so far.

Might be all there is.

Sex workers.

The sex hookers, yeah.

You found one in Palmdale?

And another in Lancaster.

A year and a half ago, and two and a half ago.

Stabbings.

We showed MG's picture around.

People knew these girls had seen her.

Oh.

And your gal in the Antelope Canyon, that makes three Stabbings.

And MG's father?

15 year old Ashes, who knows.

MG says she did it, we'll believe her.

Honest cop.

Hey Honey, you get the cap and the brain band award for that headshot.

I mean, right in the fucking forehead, nothing but that.

Thank you, I practiced in the bathtub.

Now you're kidding me, but I'm serious, that was a hell of a shot.

Sitting position, Stabb, gushing blood.

What are you doing tonight, honey?

I hope this doesn't put you off the entire department.

I don't know why you can't get it through your head, Marty.

I like girls.

You always say that.

Where are you going?

Airport?

Let me catch you.

What's your name?

They call me Shep.

Cher.

That's like honey.

What about this?

What time's your flight?

Hello, Honey Joe.

Hello, Honey Joe.
