- Thanks for tonight.

- What, you're not coming in with me?

- Uh...

- Don't tell me I wore you out already.

Then come in.

- Dawn, you know I can't do that.

- Then you never should have started dating me.

Justin, come inside,

and I just might let you run away with me.

- The only reason why you want me to go in

is because it'll piss Chloe off.

- I guess we'll never find out.

Good night.

(Justin sighs)

- I guess we won't.

- Justin?

Hello?

(intruder breathing)

Hello?

(ominous music rising)

Justin.

(Dawn gasps)

(hand thuds) (intruder grunts)

(Dawn panting) Oh my God.

(Dawn whimpering and panting)

(Dawn screaming)

(flash whooshes)

- Thank you.

- Don't mention it.

(car rustling)

(soft music)

- Hi.

- Hi, I'm Shannon.

Is this the right place?

- It sure is, come on in.

- Thanks.

- Geez.

Well, you are much prettier in person.

- Thanks.

The room is still 640 a month, right?

- That's right, why?

- 'Cause it's much bigger than I imagined.

- Are you complaining?

- Oh, no, not at all. - Good.

- Now, your screening process,

that was a whole different story.

- We are a little selective.

- A little?

Oh my god, I had an easier time getting into college.

- Well, the owners had some tax problems

and they need to be careful.

- Oh, are they in jail?

- No, no, actually they're in Europe or Africa.

I, I don't know, I can't keep track.

- And that's why you need the rent money in cash, right?

- You are a smart girl.

- Thanks.

- The room comes with house privileges.

Pool, the spa, the fitness room,

and the private beach is a half a mile down the hill.

- Wow, it's great.

- So you are interested.

- Are you kidding?

My god, this is incredible.

- You know, I think you're really gonna like it here.

- Yeah, I think I am.

(camera clicks) - Brooke?

Brooke.

- Coming. (upbeat R&B)

- Brooke, this is Shannon.

She's interested in running the vacant room.

- Mm, nice eyes.

- Thanks.

- I'll get the others.

- Chloe's in her room, and Amber,

well, you never know where Amber is anyway, so.

(man chuckles)

- What's the joke?

- No joke, let's just say Amber's on her own schedule.

So where are you from?

- Seattle, I had to get away from the rain.

- Oh, well not much of that here.

- So how long has the room been vacant?

- Not very long.

- What happened to the girl who used to live here?

(Brooke sighs)

- She died.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

- Shannon, this is Chloe.

- Hi, (Shannon clears throat) nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you, Sweetie.

I can't chat right now, I'm gonna be late for work.

Does she seem okay, Brooke?

- Uh, she makes an okay first impression.

- You know what they say, majority rules.

Congratulations.

(door knocks)

- Hey, Shannon, right?

I'm heading down to the beach, you wanna come along?

- Sure, I'll, uh, get changed and meet you in a few minutes.

- Great, see you in about five.

(soft music)

- [Shannon] Wow, this sure beats Seattle.

- You have a lot of beaches out that way?

- Not like this.

- You should see the South of France.

- You've been there?

- Senior year of college.

- Whoa, what were you studying?

- Life.

- And what'd you learn?

- Absolutely nothing.

- Let me guess, the philosophy major then?

- Smart girl.

- Yeah, I guess I've been called worse.

- Stay right there, don't move.

- Oh, boy, come on, ah! (camera clicking)

- Hello?

Hello?

Oh, no,

- Doesn't look like anyone's home.

Oh!

- Mm.

- So how did she die?

- That question's been on your mind

since you met me, hasn't it?

- It's only natural.

- Her name was Dawn, and she drowned.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

- Police said it was an accident.

She tripped, fell, and hit her head.

- Hm, so you don't agree with that then?

- Honestly, I try not to think about it.

She was my friend, and I miss her.

(upbeat tropical music)

- Why don't we go to my place?

- Because I like my place.

- Well, Amber's here.

- Oh, geez!

- Hey!

You must be the new girl.

Hi. - Hi.

- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you too.

- Hey.

I'm Brooke.

- Hi. - And you are?

- I'm Simon.

- Hi, Simon, this is our new roommate, Shannon.

- Hey, Shannon.

- Hey, how's it going in there?

- It was going really well, about a second ago and--

- Yeah, you look familiar to me.

You're the one that fixed our cable

a couple of nights ago, huh?

- Yeah, good memory, yeah.

Yeah, that was me.

- So, Seattle, what brought you down here?

- I got dumped.

- Well, if you came here to forget,

you definitely came to the right place.

- Yeah, if Mr. Hot Tub is any indication,

I definitely see that.

- So, what's your type?

- Uh, well, I was in a relationship for a while,

so, uh, I don't know really--

- Well, you're not in a relationship anymore.

- My last boyfriend was a cop.

- Yeah, I don't like cops.

Except for the handcuffs, I love handcuffs.

- And so what's your type?

- I like the classic California beach boy.

- Before the cop, I had a thing for firemen.

I don't know, maybe it's the men in uniform that gets me.

- I think that one of the guys I'm seeing is a fireman.

I could, you know, see if he has any firemen friends.

- Oh, okay, so you're dating a couple guys, then?

- That's an understatement.

- I'll settle down when love finds me.

You know, I'm too busy to go looking for it.

- I've always been monogamous.

- Well, you know, that's careful.

(muffled house music)

- [Shannon] Hey, whose place is this?

- It's Gabriel's, he's kind of a fixture here on the beach.

- Did you know this place used to be a hideaway club

from about the '50s to the '70s?

And then Gabriel bought it.

- Yeah, the State of California

wouldn't give him a freakin' liquor license,

so he started throwing parties.

- So they wouldn't let him sell it,

so he's just giving away for free now?

- That's right.

You know, the beach is about having a good time.

It's not about making money.

What's up, Joe?

- What's up, Amber, Chloe?

Have we met?

- Shannon.

- Nice to meet you, Shannon.

- So how's your day gone so far?

- Well, let's see here.

Hanging out at the beach, hanging out here,

it's pretty fun.

Dare to say life's not that bad.

- Good, it's just the beginning.

- How long have you lived at the beach?

- Oh, about four years.

- Four?

You seem so young.

- Oh, I left home when I was 18 and I came here.

I met Amber and she gave me a place and a job,

and she's a great friend.

Were you friends with a girl that died?

- Yeah, but I'll just say we had our differences.

- Over what?

- A guy, but, I don't really wanna get into it right now.

- Another drink, ladies?

- [Chloe] Ooh, I'd love one.

- Our host?

- Yes, you must be, let me guess,

Shannon.

(Shannon laughs) - He's psychic.

- You don't believe me, do you?

Here take my hand.

You are...

(static hisses)

From Seattle.

(static hisses)

You're recently single.

(static hisses)

And you're looking for trouble.

- I don't look for trouble.

- Yes you do.

- Okay, two out of three ain't bad.

- You're right.

Remember, this would've cost you 20 bucks on the beach,

but anytime you want to come here to my club,

it's free and it comes with a drink.

It's a pleasure, Shannon, take care.

- All right, see you later.

Isn't he great?

- He's a little odd.

- Yeah, too odd. (Chloe chuckles)

- Hey, party's not over, baby.

- Party's moving.

- Oh, sounds good.

- Sorry, but, you know, it's invite-only

and the guest list is full.

- From what I hear, your guest list is never full.

- I don't think so.

- [Antagonizer] Where's the love, babe?

- Look, the lady doesn't want to.

What the fuck?

- [Shannon] Hey, asshole.

(Antagonizer grunts)

(floor crashes)

- Nice kick.

- Where'd you learn how to do that?

- Fuck. - TV.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, I'll live.

Thanks.

(soft R&B music)

What?

I'm a lover, not a fighter.

- Be careful, I might ask you to prove it to me.

- [Amber] So, did you have fun?

- Yeah, I did.

Did, did you know that guy?

- No, he's probably another beach asshole

who thinks a little bit of dirty dancing

means he's gonna get some.

- Yeah, good guys are hard to find, aren't they?

- Drinks, ladies?

- Thank you.

- Sure.

- Uh, looks like you guys might need

a little bit of privacy.

- It's Justin, isn't it?

- Do you think he killed Dawn?

- [Amber] Why?

- He's been missing since that night.

- You know, he's probably a little shaken up.

Look, dumping him was the best thing you ever did.

He's like sleeping with half the girls at the beach.

- Was he sleeping with you?

- Why, would that turn you on?

No, he wasn't.

Where are you going?

- I'm gonna call it a night.

- Is she okay?

- I guess I better go check up on her.

- So,

Alone at last.

- Yeah.

- What was that?

- I just met you.

- So, could be a goodnight kiss.

- Yeah, it could be a you-better-call-me-tomorrow kiss, but,

I guess this could be a goodnight kiss.

- You know, it's been a long time since I've played doctor.

They're renting the rooms.

- Hey.

- Wanna go grab some coffee?

- I guess that means you, I'm gonna go take a nap.

- I'll talk to you later.

- Whatever.

- Rough day, huh?

- Yeah, to say the least.

Have you seen her like that before?

- Yeah, many times.

She's also got some temper on her.

- Violent?

- Uh, to say the least.

She, uh, this one night at this bar,

she and Dawn got into this major cat fight.

- Like a fist fight?

- Oh yeah, it was great.

I mean, they were kicking, banging,

you know, if you're into that sort of thing.

- Why didn't one of the girls move out then?

- I don't know.

Amber did something to patch it up.

Why are you so curious?

- People drown in bathtubs.

- Yeah, and people get killed in bathtubs too.

- Well, the cops said it was an accident.

Are you saying they're wrong?

- No, no, I, I don't know, I just,

to stay in a dead girl's room.

(door knocking)

- Hi.

- Hi, I thought you were gonna call.

- I was in the neighborhood.

- Well, sorry, I'm busy tonight.

- Oh, come on, I have an early flight.

Let me come in for one drink.

- I'm sorry.

- Do you have company?

- I'm sorry, good night.

- Bitch.

- Why'd you send him away?

He seemed really nice.

- He broke my number one rule.

- And what's that?

- He didn't show me respect.

Showing up without calling first?

Like I'm his kept woman or something.

- Ah, so what's the difference between that

and the way that Amber treats her men?

- First of all, I'm not Amber.

Second, he could at least gimme the dignity of a booty call.

(light music)

- Have you been with anyone since Justin?

- No, just still miss him a lot.

- Oh boy.

I think you need to get laid more than I do.

- Maybe you're right.

- Looks like slim pickings tonight, huh?

- Hey, Amber,

check out the guy behind you.

- He's a good choice.

You know, he's old enough to be experienced

and young enough to still get it up.

So I'm on it.

Watch this.

- Amber. - Shh.

- [Chloe] God.

(light music)

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, let me help you.

Wow.

Wow. - Thank you.

- Um, (Dennis clears throat) you're welcome.

- I, uh, definitely wouldn't wanna lose these.

- [Dennis] Oh, definitely not.

- [Amber] Definitely not.

- Never.

Can I, uh, buy you ladies a drink?

- What do you say, Chloe?

- I'd love one.

- Great.

Waitress, a round for everybody, please.

(crickets chirping)

- So.. - Hmm?

- Tell me about you and Dawn.

- I miss her.

- It's okay if you don't wanna talk about it.

- No, it's all right.

- So you guys had an affair?

- I wish it was an affair.

For Dawn, it was more like an experiment.

She liked to experiment.

- And did it end?

- She wasn't really the type of person to end anything.

- Until?

- Until until she died.

(light upbeat jazz)

- Chloe, take your clothes off.

Are we, uh, (Dennis giggling)

a little bit ticklish?

I think you are.

- [Dennis] Ooh, yeah.

(muffling drowns out Amber)

- Ooh, I think you're right.

Ooh, what do we have here?

Special guest.

- How do I feel?

- [Dennis] Oh, so good.

- Now, I think I'm gonna untie one hand for you.

If you're good, I'll untie the other one.

- Oh, thank you so much.

- Promise to behave?

- Right now, I promise just about anything.

- Hello, ladies.

Hold on a second.

That son of a bitch!

- Wow.

(phone dialing)

So perfect, oh, yeah.

(beeper beeping)

(beeper clatters)

- Damn it.

- [Chloe] What's wrong?

- Nothing.

Shouldn't we wait for her?

- You can, I don't want to.

- If you insist.

- And you better behave.

- Oh! (flogger gently smacks)

(Dennis moans)

- Yeah.

- This better be good, you know, and not some jealous--

- That guy is a potential investor!

I showed him the whole system earlier in the day!

- Investor for what?

I wanted to surprise you.

- I don't like surprises.

From now on, I wanna know everything up front or else is.

- Is this some kind of a threat, Amber?

- I'm just as much a part of this business as you are.

- Amber!

- Look,

why don't we just assume right now

this guy is some potential investor.

Let's just assume he wanted a little bit

of fun for his money.

You know, right now,

Chloe is in there rocking this guy's world.

And if that doesn't close the deal for us,

I don't know what will.

- I would never cheat you!

- I'm done with you for the night.

(light upbeat jazz) (Chloe moans)

- You feel good.

- Mm, oh my God, you're the one that feels good.

(both moan)

What are you doing, you naughty girl?

(static hisses)

(ominous music)

(cicadas buzzing)

- Did we have to send him away?

- Yes.

- Well, maybe we should do things together more often.

- (Amber giggles) Okay, let's go.

(ominous music)

- What are you doing here?

- I was about to ask the same question.

- What the hell's wrong with you?

- What are you doing with Chloe, huh?

What are you thinking?

- Well,, for the amount of money that I'm investing,

I think I'm entitled to a piece of the action.

- When your check clears,

you can fuck any girl you want anytime you want.

Until then, you don't do a fucking thing!

- I'm just testing the system, pal.

Is there something wrong with that, huh?

- Well, Pal, I'll tell you what,

you fucking have your rules, I got my rules too.

- Will you just calm-- (punch smacks)

What are you doing, man?

Get off--

(punch smacking) (man grunting)

The fuck, what are you--

- Hear me, you hand me the check

and transfer information tomorrow,

or you're dead, you got it?

- Yeah. - Good.

- I got it. - Good boy.

(ominous music)

- Good, good, hit that.

(upbeat music) (crowd cheering)

- Nice shot.

- Hey, time out, you guys.

- Cool.

- Hi, you're early.

- Hey, you're pretty good out there.

- Thanks.

- Uh, listen, Shannon, there's something I have to tell you.

I'm not a fireman.

- Excuse me?

- One of the girls at the bar said

that you had a thing for firemen, and I lied.

- Then what do you do?

- This.

- You volleyball?

- Yeah, pro circuit.

I grew up around here, so this is where I like to practice.

- Cool. (Shannon giggles)

I guess it beats a desk job, huh?

- Yeah, hey, you wanna join the game?

- I haven't played in a while. - Come on.

Oh, come on, it'll be fun. (Shannon laughs)

- All right.

- Hey, come on, we're back, you guys.

This is Shannon, she's gonna rotate in.

- [Player] Hi Shannon.

- Hello.

All right.

Nope.

(Shannon groans)

- [Player] There you go.

- [Player] Good job.

(player grunts) (ball smacks)

(light upbeat music) - Go!

- Ah, damn, ah! (Shannon laughing)

- [Player] That's it.

- [Player] Get that.

(team cheering and applauding)

- I got it.

- [Player] Nice!

- Nice.

(ominous music)

- Get it, get it! (light upbeat music)

- Yeah! (Shannon giggles)

- [Player] Whoo, nice shot!

- Yeah, all mine.

- I didn't know pro volleyball paid this well.

- Well, it didn't used to,

but with the good international markets

and the endorsement deals, I get by.

- I can see.

- So you're from Seattle?

- Originally.

- So were you running to the beach

to get to something or away from something?

- Excuse me?

- I mean, well, people usually don't move

across states for the sake of mind.

- I was in a bad relationship.

- Relationships, they're tricky.

- So what about you?

When was your last relationship?

- It's been a while.

I guess that's why I've liked being on the pro circuit.

It's nomadic, no roots.

- Was the term "liked" past tense.

- Everything has its time and place.

Recently, I, uh, I've been weighing my options.

- Well, from here,

your options are looking pretty good.

(ominous music)

- Probably some bill.

- [Parker] Hey, Dennis.

- What the fuck are you doing here?

- I told you I was careful.

Did you think that I was lying, huh?

- I, I, I can explain.

- Start explaining.

I hear one more lie out of your mouth, you're dead.

(glass crashes)

- Easy man, calm down!

Take it easy, take it easy, let's--

- Tell me.

- I can, I can explain, I can explain.

I can explain!

- Pretty good with ropes, huh?

- Knots, ropes, you know, we all have our little tricks.

- Listen, I, uh, I had an absolutely

wonderful day with you today.

- Who says it's over?

- Now, at one time, I was worth a few mil,

in the dot com boom.

Fortunately, although my, my company went under,

I never dissolved it.

I got your invitation in my old corporate email.

I responded, I jumped through all your hoops.

You know, but, with every piece

of information I sent to you,

I also sent you a worm,

my own special version of a code red worm.

Following it was easy.

- You're a smart guy.

- You'd be surprised what kind of a motivation poverty is.

You made a--

(Dennis gasping and grunting)

(Dennis shrieking)

(neck cracks)

(ominous music)

- Nice room.

- Thanks.

(soft romantic music)

(electric guitar rising)

(soft romantic music)

- I'm sorry I lied to you today.

- No, it's okay, everybody has secrets.

- Yeah?

Tell me one of yours.

- I knew how to play volleyball.

- Yeah, you had some really good moves out there today.

- I can't believe I missed this shit.

- [Shannon] You too.

(keyboard clacks) (computer beeps)

- Thank God for backup systems.

We got a lot of happy people out there.

(keyboard clacking) (computer beeping)

I love my job.

(waves crashing)

(cicadas buzzing)

(pebble taps)

(pebble taps)

(pebble taps)

- (Shannon grunts) Max!

- Why haven't you contacted me?

- I've been working.

- You call sleeping with pro volleyball players work?

You're here to investigate a murder.

- Are you jealous?

- Yeah, I am.

After two years, you decide

you don't wanna date a cop anymore?

I find this a little bit ironic.

- Look at these people, Max.

If I'm gonna get into their world,

I need to party like they do, okay?

- I just don't wanna see you in any unnecessary danger.

- Well then, you shoulda kept me on the desk.

- Hey, have you seen this guy?

- Yeah, Chloe and Amber came in with him last night.

- Where?

- At the house, why?

- 'Cause he was found murdered today.

- You don't think Chloe--

- Well, you're the one here on the inside.

- Right, who was he?

- Just some two-bit conman with a lot of enemies.

(Shannon sighs)

- Can we get the feds involved?

There's something going on here.

- I'll see what I can do.

Meet me at the beach tomorrow, five o'clock.

- Okay, thanks. - Be careful.

- Bye.

(car engine rustling)

(watch beeping)

What time is it?

- Just after six, I'm late.

- Late for what?

- I was gonna jog on the beach.

I like to go before it gets too hot.

You wanna come?

- No thanks.

- All right.

- I'll call you later.

- You better or I'll track you down and kill ya.

(Shannon laughs)

(investigative music)

- Hey, what are you doing?

- I, I'm sorry, just, uh--

- Are you actually taking pictures

or just playing peeping Tomette?

- No, I'm sorry, I just borrowed just to check out things.

- Well, because of your borrowing,

I'm now late for work.

- Oh, sorry.

- I'll tell you what,

how about you make it up to me?

- Sure, what do I have to do?

- Be my assistant, I could really use the help today.

- Great.

- I do have to warn you,

the shoot could get kinda funky.

- That's okay, I love funk.

(doorbell rings)

(soft classical piano)

- Hi, hello, come on.

- Sorry we're late.

- Oh, it's cool.

Well, hello.

You must be a model.

- No, assistant.

- Okay. (James chuckles)

- Anyway, so where are we shooting today?

- Come on.

- Beautiful place.

- Thank you.

- Where's Lisa?

- She's putting her makeup on.

She'll be with us in just a sec.

- Hey, Lisa?

I hope you're ready.

You know I got a replacement.

(James chuckles)

- Brooke, you can set up in the kitchen if you'd like.

- [Brooke] Okay, great.

- Did he say model?

- Yeah, I guess you're his type.

- So what kind of shoot is this?

- Well, James and Lisa have a website

and the website features pictures of them, nude pictures.

Does that bother you?

- No, I don't know, I don't even know

what the pictures look like.

- Hi, sexy.

- Hi.

- And who is this?

- [Brooke] Shannon.

- Would you mind shooting some video

for my private collection?

- Oh, I don't think I'll be very good at--

- I'm sure you're excellent.

(soft smooth R&B)

- Okay, first, I would like to start off

with a lot of soft caresses and just a lot of love, okay?

(soft haunting piano)

(static hisses)

- Plumbing problems?

- Uh, no, I thought I heard something.

Maybe rats or something.

- Did you find any?

- No, no, I guess they got away. (Shannon chuckles)

Excuse me.

(ominous music)

- She was snooping around.

- You know, maybe she really heard rats.

We are, you know, in the hills.

I don't trust her.

- Parker, I can handle her.

- That's what you said about Dawn.

- Dawn was a greedy bitch.

You know, that's something you shoulda caught

in the screening process.

- And so now Dawn's my fault?

- I'm just trying to stop you

from doing something stupid again.

- Are you accusing me of something?

- No, I'm not!

- Jesus Christ.

(ominous music)

- Hey, Max, does the name Global Tech Million

mean anything to you?

- Yeah, they make, uh, high-end surveillance equipment.

The department has some, what they can afford.

- Oh my God, that makes so much sense.

I think that whole house is wired for video.

- Security?

- No, I just think some kind

of pervy voyeur thing or something.

Do you know who owns the house yet?

- Yeah, I ran a trace,

ran a trace through a couple

of dummy corporations with Parker Lye.

He owns a substantial amount of one

of the companies that owns the house.

- How did he get the money for that?

- I'm gonna look into that.

Do you think the, uh, the girls knew they were on video?

- No, I don't think so.

But I do think the killer was caught on tape.

- I'll get a warrant for the house.

- No, don't bother.

The cameras terminate on a microwave broadcast dish.

- Well, where do they broadcast to?

- Microwaves have to be in the line of sight.

I'll locate the receiver and then you can get the warrant.

- Well, I have an idea of who's on that video.

The files are sealed by juvenile court.

- Oh my god.

- Chloe killed two people when she was 16,

her ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend.

- But the file says she was acquitted.

- Yeah, well, read on.

It was lousy police work, she's guilty.

- Mind if I join you?

- No, have a seat.

(light smooth music)

This is where I come to be alone and think about things.

- What are you thinking about?

(flashback whooshes)

- I'm thinking about Justin.

- Have you spoken to him?

- Not since Dawn died.

Sometimes I lose my head.

Take my frustrations out on him.

Dawn used that to take him away from me.

She always lived for drama.

- Well, it certainly caught up with her.

- You know, where did you get that lotion

that you let me use the other night?

'Cause I really like it.

- I got it in Hawaii, isn't it great?

I just put it on and I got this great tan.

- Good afternoon, ladies, Detective Halstead, LAPD.

I'm looking for, uh, Chloe Harris and Amber Moreau.

- Well, I'm Amber,

Here's Chloe.

- Good, was wondering if you can help me out.

I'm working on this case.

He was found murdered in his apartment.

Looks like a robbery, but you know,

I wanna cover all my bases.

Did you know him?

- Yes, we, we--

- He was a guest of ours at a party that we,

you know, we had the other night.

- Huh, didn't you date the, uh, dead girl's boyfriend?

- Are you implying something?

- Yeah, I'm a cop, I'm always implying something.

Were you?

- You know, I don't think that--

- Hey, hey, she's a big girl.

She can answer for herself.

- I wasn't dating him, he was my ex.

- Here's my card.

Any information you have would be very helpful.

Please use it.

Thank you very much, have a good day.

- Good bye.

(ominous music)

- What was all that about?

- Nothing good.

- Where you going?

- I'm gonna go cool off.

- [Shannon] Who was that guy?

- Just some cop.

- What did you want?

- Chloe and I hooked up with some guy the other night

and he was found dead.

- You see him all torn up.

- I just slept with him, you know?

it's not like I knew him.

- Not like you knew Dawn?

- You sound like you're the cop.

- What are you, accusing me of something?

- You're the one who, you know, dated one.

Where'd you guys meet, the academy?

- Oh, no, no, he just stopped me for speeding once.

I don't know, he was fine for a minute and a half or so.

Happy?

- I'm always happy.

(ominous music)

(static hisses)

(soft piano)

- Hi, Chloe.

- Oh my God.

- I really missed you.

- I missed you. (lips kiss)

(soft piano)

(cicadas buzzing)

- What are you doing here?

- I need to talk to you.

- I gotta go find Chloe.

- Well, I ran Amber's fingerprints, it's a false ID.

- What do you mean?

What, what prints, when did you get prints?

- Off the photo of the dead guy.

- Is that why you were here today?

- Yeah, her name's Stacy Jessop.

Her and Parker, boyfriend and girlfriend in high school.

- So they used to know each other?

- Yeah, you oughta see their prom pictures.

- Oh my God.

- So they're in this together then.

- I'd bet on it.

- Aha.

(soft piano)

- What's wrong?

- I'm sorry, but,

I, I just wanna know where have you been?

- You know that house that you're living at?

It's not what it seems to be.

All right, they got all these cameras right?

And they, they, they're all set up

to see you guys in your rooms.

- They're set up in our room?

- Trust me, they see everything you do.

- [Chloe] How do you even know about this?

I used to be a part of it.

- [Parker] Till now.

(Parker grunts) (gun fires) - Fuck you!

Come here! (punch smacks)

(punch smacks) (Justin grunts)

- [Parker] Fucker!

(both grunting)

- Oh my god!

(Justin groaning)

Oh my God!

Oh, please, don't hurt me.

Please don't hurt me. - Come on, let's go.

Let's go, move!

Come on.

(waves crashing)

- Yeah, well, she's not here.

- Wait, what is that?

- Well, talk about the black widow.

- No, this can't be it.

- You know what, I'm gonna call this in.

You go back to the house.

- No.

- What, do you wanna blow your cover?

Go on.

- Come on, Parker, you know, you know how it goes.

- [Parker] I will pay you, don't worry about it, come on.

- [Amber] You will and you will now.

You know. (Parker scoffs)

(Parker sighs)

- You're gonna make me do this, huh?

- [Amber] Mm-hm, that's right.

- [Parker] All right.

- Are you looking for me?

What the fuck are you thinking?

Now, I'm gonna remove this gag,

but I don't wanna hear you scream

or I'll have to hurt you, okay?

Okay? - Mm-hm.

- All right.

Now what the fuck are you doing here?

- I want my cut.

- What do you mean you want your cut?

- I want my cut, I figured out what was going on here,

the microwave dish, the cameras, I want my cut.

(Parker chuckles)

- Just like Dawn.

- And you killed her.

- Why do you care?

- Because she's a cop.

- Hey, no shit, buddy.

(both men laughing)

- [Ty] Hi, honey.

- That's right, hey, you guys do know each other, don't you?

Very well.

- [Shannon] Not well enough.

- Obviously.

- So your volleyball money's paid for all of this.

- [Parker] Oh wait, you fell for that volleyball bullshit?

He's a fucking trust fund baby.

- [Ty] Come on, Parker.

- Why don't you do her like you did Dawn?

- You fucking do it, it's your turn.

- Hey, I really wish I could have fucked you.

What a pity.

You gonna cut me a deal or something?

- Yeah, it's either that or jail.

Besides how long is it gonna take

these losers to sell you out?

(Ty grunts) (hand smacks)

- Don't even try it.

(soft piano)

(Chloe sobbing)

- Chloe, I'm sorry.

The cops are just gonna have

to ask you few more questions, okay?

- How's she doing?

- She's a mess.

- Yeah, well, we're gonna get her some help.

And we found a safe.

- What was in it?

- Money, passport, some backup tapes.

Perps are trying to cut deals now,

so looks like it's gonna be smooth sailing.

- Nothing's smooth sailing.

You didn't put me on this assignment

so you could be the big hero, did you?

- Would it have worked?

- I'm a big sucker for heroes.

- As long as they're not cops, right?

- You know, sometimes the best heroes are cops.

- Speaking of which, there's gonna be

a little promotion in this for you.

You're gonna be breaking in a new partner next week.

- So we won't be working together?

- I'm sure I'll see you around.

- I'm sure I will. (Shannon giggles)
