[RADIO PLAYING INDISTINCTLY]

GIRL [MUMBLING]: I don't wanna go to school.

I said I don't wanna go to school.

Oh, is that what that was?

Mom...

You can't stay here with me all day, Sophia.

But I can help you.

I know how to pick up a phone when it rings.

You know how to do a lot of things.

You are very smart. Smarter than me, definitely.

Then why do I have to go to school?

Here, I'll make you a deal.

This weekend I'll show you how to use the washing machine.

I can help you fold sheets? Yes, you can.

Now go finish getting ready for school.

Carpool's gonna be here in a second.

MAN [ON RADIO]: ...public radio. I'm John McNaughton.

In today's weather, it's gonna be cold and cloudy...

[DOOR OPENS]

...dipping down into the 20s,

so watch out tonight on some of the roads.

Warming up a bit tomorrow but not too much.

Highs around 40. It's gonna stay that way most of the week.

The Winter Lake Festival gets underway...

[ENGINE STARTS]

Don't forget to brush your teeth!

[BELL DINGS]

Hey. Sorry.

We fell asleep.

Billy said it was fine.

SOPHIA: Mom, I'm ready!

Come on down.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO]

Hi, Stella. GIRL: Hi.

Okay, baby, let's get this off.

Mom, I forgot to feed Mr. Jones.

That's okay, baby. I'll do it.

Denise will pick you up at 3, okay? I love you.

Love you too, Mom. Bye, Stella.

STELLA: Bye. Thanks, Barb.

[¶]

Shit.

WOMAN: The last two times we spoke, I told you

that a concern had been raised about the suitability

of an environment like this for a child as young as...

Her name is Sophia.

...given the high rate of turnover

of a mostly transient, mostly male population

and... the local girls.

We're leaving, but winters are slow around here.

There's nothing I can do about it.

Unfortunately, it is still unacceptable

by the legal standards enforced by the state.

[PAPER RUSTLES]

What's that? You have two weeks

to relocate Sophia to a more suitable location.

Failure to do so will result

in her being removed from the premises.

What do you mean, "removed"? This is a commercial property

with multiple reports of drug use and prostitution.

Your choice to use it as your place of residence cannot--

We're leaving, all right? I told you that.

But I can't afford it right now. There's always placement

just until you get your feet back on the ground.

We have a number of families who'd be happy to take Sophia.

Could you stop it?

These are good families, Mrs. Russell.

Would you stop it? Please.

I'd rather be dead.

Then you have two weeks.

[DOOR SLAMS]

MAN: Was dating this chick and, uh...

she's Russian, right?

And I understand, like, every eighth word, right?

Heh-heh. And her dad bought her tits for her.

You ever heard of something like that?

They're big and they're hard.

She got them done back in the homeland.

It's, like, fucking hilarious.

[GRUNTS]

Phew.

It's cold, right?

My stomach's been eating itself for the last hour, you know?

Should probably fill up again anyways.

You never know when the next gas station's gonna be out here.

That cool, right?

Yeah?

All right, cool.

SOPHIA: Mom? Hm?

Stella Bradshaw says

no one's really supposed to live at a motel.

You're supposed to stay one or two nights

and then leave and go back to your real house.

Stella Bradshaw said that? Yes.

How many bathrooms do you think

Stella Bradshaw has at her house?

I don't know. Maximum two.

You know how many bathrooms you have? Twenty-two.

That's more than they have in Buckingham Palace.

You know what that makes you?

A princess.

Mom, you're crazy.

Crazy like a fox.

[SIGHS]

I love you, baby. Love you too, Mom.

Close your eyes.

[POP MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

Here you go. Find everything you need?

Yeah, totally.

[SIGHS]

Motherfuck, it's cold outside!

So, uh, so listen,

the thing is I've been driving for 22 fucking hours straight.

I can use a little shut-eye.

[POLISH ACCENT] I have schedule to keep.

I know, I know.

They do not like to wait. No, no.

But we're good. We're real good on time.

We got a whole day for the last couple hundred miles.

I can see a motel from here.

We check in separately.

We sleep for four hour then drive.

Cool. Four hour.

Four hours. Got it.

[RADIO PLAYING INDISTINCTLY]

[DINGS]

Hello.

Yes, I would like quiet room for one night, please.

Forty-four dollars, please,

and you'll need to fill one of these out.

Ah. Do you have pen?

Yeah, that one works just fine right there.

If you could fill out your name, your home address

and your license plate number, please.

I... I walk from diner.

Huh. Did you eat?

What?

Did you eat? It's good there.

No.

Was it busy?

I was hoping for some of that run-off, you know?

All right.

And, um, I'll need to xerox your ID, please, sir.

I will pay cash.

Yep, still need your ID.

I have a friend who's a cop in town.

He's always going on about me xeroxing IDs, so...

Well...

Everybody has job.

[¶]

He was 15 minute late,

but I checked

and everything was there.

Yes, I will cross border first thing in the morning.

Jacques, it is a pleasure

to be working for your father again.

Please thank him for the opp--

[QUINCY LAUGHING OUTSIDE]

[GWEN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

Ha-ha! Ow, motherfucker.

You shut the fuck up. You shut the fuck up.

GWEN: Ow! What the--

Get the fuck off me!

Ow! Get the fuck off me! Aah!

QUINCY: No!

What did you do?!

Look at me! Get away from me!

[KNOCKS ON DOOR]

Hello?

Open up.

[¶]

CHLOE: Somebody call 911!

[SIREN WAILING]

BILLY: John roughs up Gwen, Gwen slashes John,

and John manages to shoot her before bleeding out.

You wanna sit here and say, "No, forget it.

It couldn't happen." And then...

it happens.

That's some nonfiction right there, you know?

I just saw Gwen this morning.

Hey, how's, uh, how's Sophia doing?

She okay?

Denise came and got her.

She didn't see anything, thank God.

That's great. Good.

Oh, no, no.

Floyd, shit for brains, the Jeep!

The Jeep!

Fucking idiot.

I'm sorry. What?

Billy, we have to stop letting the girls use the rooms.

Yeah, I mean, you know, it's...

It's not like this is ever gonna happen again, Chlo.

I mean, besides,

you're not the only one who relies on that cash.

I had a woman from social services today.

She told me I got two weeks to get out of my place.

If she hears about this, then Sophia's gone tomorrow.

[SIGHS]

Two weeks?

[SCOFFS]

Hey. Hey.

Doesn't matter. Okay?

Because you and I, we're gonna get through this together.

I'm gonna help you. Okay? You and me.

Just like after Vincent died, I'm gonna be there for you.

Okay?

Billy?

Yeah?

We have to stop letting the girls use the rooms.

Okay. Okay. Yeah.

Thank you.

OFFICER 1: John Doe and the girl were DOA.

OFFICER 2 [OVER RADIO]: Anyone else there?

OFFICER 1: As far as we can tell, he was traveling alone.

[¶]

[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES]

Sophia?

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

[SIGHS]

I thought everybody had gone.

Oh, yes, but I believe these are yours, yes?

You could have just left them in the room. Thank you.

Oh, yes, well, uh, sorry,

but with all the confusion-- Heh.

Oh, okay, I see.

Okay, one second, please.

Thank you.

Aah! Make no sound.

Open this door.

Open it.

100 bucks in the register. You can have whatever you want.

Quiet. Where is cell phone?

I-I don't ha-- I don't have it.

[GASPS]

Do not lie to me again.

Okay.

Who else live here?

Just me and my daughter. Your daughter, where is she?

With a friend. They're both coming back any minute.

The Jeep that was here last night,

where did they take it? What Jeep?

The man who was killed by the whore.

The police towed his car. Where did they take it?

[VEHICLE APPROACHING]

Uhh! Oof!

Ohh! Ahh!

Feel that?

SOPHIA: Mom! Hm?

You let the little girl

and only the little girl in,

or I shoot everyone dead.

Okay.

Okay.

Mom, the puppy slept in the bed with me!

Ohh. Was it cozy?

DENISE: They're friends for life, I'm sure of that.

And, uh, hey, how you feelin', hon?

I'm okay. Denise, can you do me a huge favor?

Just take her for a couple more hours.

SOPHIA: No, Mom, please.

Come on. Listen, I'm sorry.

I got a--

I got a double shift in an hour,

then I got Randall coming over, as he does

with about the frequency of a comet.

Denise--

Never mind.

[SIGHS]

Any other day. You know I'm good for it.

Get the key.

[WHISPERS] You look after your mom, okay?

Bye. Bye.

SOPHIA: Bye.

Okay, baby, you go upstairs

and watch TV while I talk to this man, okay?

Who are you?

I am friend of your mother's.

Upstairs now.

[SOPHIA SIGHS]

[TV PLAYING INDISTINCTLY]

I ask once last time,

where would police take Jeep?

If I find out, will you go?

You will get me that Jeep

or I will put bullet in your little girl's ear.

BILLY: Hey, Rodney, it's Billy.

Okay, so look, I got a '95 white Jeep Cherokee.

Yeah.

Uh, 78,000 miles, give or take.

And look-- [LINE BEEPS]

Uh, sorry.

Look, man, it's gonna be the same deal, okay?

Wait two weeks, things calm down,

they'll think it's going to the heap.

I can't do anything less than $1300 on this one.

Okay, but, hey, man, look, there's no radio.

Yeah, I think somebody picked it before we got to it.

CHLOE: Billy, it's Chloe again.

Will you please call me back?

Thank you.

He will call me back.

And he'll get the car to you clean and easy, I swear it.

Where does this Billy live?

Ah, little girl.

You have jacket?

Of course, everyone has a jacket.

Of course. Please go get yours, huh?

We are all going for drive.

[SOPHIA SIGHS]

Mommy.

CHLOE: You okay back there? SOPHIA: Can't we play I Spy?

We can play later, I promise. Okay, I promise.

Fine.

I spy with my little eye something white.

Here he is. TOPO: Go.

You won't hurt her?

That depend on you.

When you come back to car, you come back alone.

BILLY: If it's Stephanie, just tell her

to shut the fuck up about...

WOMAN: All right. Jesus, relax.

Fuck are you doing here? I need to talk to Billy.

What the fuck do you need to talk to Billy for?

Huh, Chlo?

You two don't get enough of each other

at that little shithole motel of yours

doing whatever it is the fuck you do all day?

Chlo?

I need to talk to you.

So talk. Amber, inside.

I'm not going anywhere.

Amber, shut up and take this, please.

You asshole. And pause it.

You can fucking rewind it!

What the fuck you doin' here, Chlo?

The Jeep Cherokee you picked up from my place last night?

I know a guy who wants to buy. It's a really good price.

I'll take a little cut. I need the cash.

What are you talking about?

Billy, we both know about your deal with Rodney.

The guy doesn't just want parts, he wants the whole car.

Hey, it's evidence in an ongoing investigation.

I can't just give that to you.

Since when do you care?

It's evidence, and soon it'll be paperwork,

and then it'll be a cube of garbage.

You sound like you're on the television.

Whatever. I can't help you.

So why don't you just get out of here, Chlo?

You've done enough.

Well, maybe I'll just talk to your chief about it, then.

About what?

Maybe he wants to hear about your little bait-and-switch.

Get your fucking hands off me!

[COUGHING]

Goddamn it, Chloe.

You gotta be more careful.

[COUGHING]

What did he say?

He said no. [ENGINE STARTS]

[¶]

TOPO: Do you see it?

There's a chain link fence all around and police everywhere.

Find a way. It's blocked in.

TOPO: We do not need to move it. We need to get inside.

Behind stereo, inside is a package.

It will take you no more than two minute of prying.

Take it.

Now...

...get out of the car.

[WHIMPERS]

The sound of that shot will wake your little Sophia,

and she will look around because she needs her mother,

and she will find her mother,

but she will be splattered all over the window

and the fucking dashboard

and the steering wheel.

Now I am going to count to five.

Trust me when I tell you

if you do not get out of the car,

you will not hear me say five.

One.

Two.

Three.

Okay. Okay. Okay. I'm going.

I'm going.

[¶]

[MEN LAUGHING AND CHATTERING]

[POP MUSIC PLAYING SOFTLY OVER HEADPHONES]

Wake up, little girl.

Where's my mom?

TOPO: That is a good question.

Do you see her out there?

SOPHIA: What is she doing?

I tell you what.

Let us play the I Spy, huh?

You tell me what you spy.

That's not how you play.

It is how I play.

You can't just change the rules like that.

Yes, I can. Tell me what you see.

Oh, fine.

Looks like she's trying to get inside a car.

[¶]

[CLATTERING]

[SNIFFLES]

Okay, baby, put your headphones on.

It's gone.

It's gone.

Whatever was in there,

somebody got to it before we did.

I'm not lying to you.

Take us back to motel.

[ENGINE STARTS]

[¶]

Come.

I need to know what's gonna happen next.

You can at least tell me that.

Tomorrow morning you will talk to your friend Billy

and you will find out who work on car.

What are you doing?

I'm guessing no one's getting any sleep, right?

I need caffeine. So I'm making tea.

Is that all right with you?

What was in the package? I was gonna see it anyway.

I'm not gonna sit in silence for the next however many hours,

and as long as you have that gun, I'm gonna be nervous,

and as long as I'm nervous, I'm gonna talk.

Was it drugs or money?

It's cash, isn't it?

It's a lot I bet, huh?

So, what do they call someone like you?

It's a "mule," right?

[SCOFFS]

I collect packages...

...and bring them to where they belong.

[SWITCH CLICKS]

[WATER POURS]

You want to know what I think?

No.

I think your employers don't know about your vision problem.

Maybe it wasn't so bad for a while,

but now you can't hardly see anything.

What are you gonna do, right?

I mean, there's not much demand for a blind guy

whose only skill is killing people.

Very perceptive

for a motel clerk

in this godforsaken brothel.

What if I told you I knew where the money was?

[CHUCKLES]

We both know where the money was.

I mean where the money is.

It sounds to me like you're already fucked.

So either you leave here empty-handed

and wait for the people whose money it is to come find you

and do whatever it is they're gonna do to you,

which I'm guessing is something really bad,

or maybe

you think about buying some time

and taking your half of the money.

I see.

And the other half, I presume,

you think is yours.

Hm.

You have no idea

how in over your head you are.

And you have no idea what it's like

to have a child to feed and no place to go.

I have been on my own since I was 15 years old,

scrambling for cash, and nobody gives a fuck.

And I'm not gonna do that again,

and I'm not gonna do that to my daughter.

Little girl,

you are being very reckless.

So we go tomorrow?

And what if I do not care to wait?

You can leave here empty-handed.

So...

You got a name?

Topo.

I want to go lie down with my daughter.

[¶]

But you said you were gonna let me use the washing machine.

I know, baby.

We'll do it next week, okay?

Mommy's got something really important to do today.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

Now tell Denise I'm putting your food in the back, okay?

TOPO: The man in the pictures, he is girl's father?

Since when have you been looking at my pictures?

So he left you?

No, he did not leave me.

He was fixing a flat by the side of the road

and a truck hit him and didn't stop.

He was a good man.

I showed up with nothing.

Except the baby in your belly.

What about you, anyway?

You walk alone or something like that?

It's no big deal your partner got shot?

He was an idiot.

My sister's kid.

Jesus.

Good help is hard to find.

CHLOE: There he is.

TOPO: And?

CHLOE: He's got a TV, a big flat one.

Give me your phone.

Oh, come on. It's a burner, isn't it?

A guy like you doesn't get a phone bill

with his name on it. Give me your phone.

[TOPO SIGHS]

Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go. Go, come on.

Get the fuck out of here.

I knew it. What?

What did he do? What did you say?

I said, "I know you have the money."

He's turning. He's turning.

TOPO: All right. Are there cars between you and him?

Uh, yeah, two.

Okay, slow down. Keep your distance.

But try not to make it look like you are keeping your distance.

What does that mean?

Don't look so nervous.

How do you know I look nervous?

Because I can hear it.

Shit.

[HORN HONKING]

Shit!

[GRUNTS]

CHLOE: Shit.

What is it?

CHLOE: Shit.

Agh. What are you doing?

He's pulling a U-turn. Did he see you?

I don't know. Find a place to turn around.

Get back on main street. We will catch up to him.

It's him. What do I do?

BILLY [OVER LOUDSPEAKER]: Turn off your engine.

Turn off your engine.

[ENGINE STOPS]

Step out of the goddamned vehicle, Chlo.

You let him come to us. I will take care of it.

[GUN COCKS]

I said, step out of the goddamned car.

I'm not gonna say it again.

Do not leave the car.

Stay in the goddamned car!

All right, stop right there! Turn around, Chlo.

Turn the fuck around!

Good. Now put your hands on your head.

Now back up slow.

Keep coming.

Keep coming. Come on.

Come on, keep coming.

Now get on your knees.

Drop to your fucking knees, Chloe!

[DOOR OPENS]

CHLOE: Billy-- Shut the fuck up.

Shut the fuck up.

Aah. Unh!

What the fuck do you think you're doing following me?

Spread 'em. Billy, what are you doing?

Shut the fuck up and spread your legs.

Fuck! Guess what.

[CHOKING]

You're gonna tell me what the fuck is going on,

do you understand me, or you're gonna make me

fucking choke it out of you, you understand?

Huh? Huh? Are you fucking--

Are you think you're fucking shaking me down?

After every fucking thing I did for you, Chlo?

Huh? After every-- That is enough.

Okay, okay. Easy, easy now.

Hey, easy, easy. Take it easy, man.

Easy. It's okay.

I mean, uh, who the fuck do we have here now, Chlo--

TOPO: Shut up! Put these on him.

BILLY: You wanna tell me what the fuck is going on?

That's what I was trying to tell you, Billy.

He made me follow you.

He said that he would kill Sophia.

You gotta do what he says, Billy. The guy is crazy.

Okay, pal, look, we can just talk, okay?

TOPO: Shut fuck up!

BILLY: Can I do something for you?

Hm?

[PANTING]

Get up.

Time we take drive, yes? You are so fucked.

TOPO: So, Mr. Billy,

I give you one last time.

Where is the money?

I have no idea what you are talking about.

TOPO: Mm.

How much was the television set?

[LAUGHS]

[IMITATES ACCENT] The tel-e-vision set?

[IN NORMAL VOICE] It was a nickel, pal, okay?

About as much as it costs to go to the movies. Heh.

TOPO: You make joke...

because you are nervous.

And you should be.

A dumb cop like you,

you like to take it out and feel it,

so you keep it close, huh?

Like in your bedroom?

Or maybe under your bed?

Am I close?

We go to his house.

BILLY: It's not gonna make any difference.

I don't-- TOPO: Shut up.

[ENGINE STARTS]

Ahem.

This is it.

Is anyone inside?

Fuck you, old man.

He has a wife.

Is your wife home?

How the fuck am I supposed to know what she does all day?

Let us find out.

You. Go.

If you want your friend to live, you bring money back.

Come on!

We need to go back to motel.

The policeman should have told us that she was inside.

You didn't have to kill her. She was out of control.

Now we need to get back to motel to count it.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,

10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18,

19, 20 bundles, including the one you're holding.

All hundreds. Not enough for what just happened.

[¶]

You take the cop's gun

and you put it where no one will ever find it.

Take.

[¶]

There's a car in the driveway.

Hey, what are you doing in my place?

Did you find it? Yeah.

It wasn't where you said, but we got it.

What's going on? What are you doing?

DONNIE: What is who doing?

Hey! What, you're deaf now too?

Half of that is mine! Get your fucking hands off me!

Get your fucking hands off me!

DENISE: Come on, Sophia.

SOPHIA: What's the matter with Mommy?

DENISE: She's fine. We're gonna call the police, okay?

[SIREN WAILING]

DONNIE: Cops.

TOPO: Just keep driving.

Heh. Dumbasses.

How much was in jar?

2300. Little more, I think.

You think?

Twenty-three and change.

Why? How much was off the package?

Two thousand exactly. That's good.

You want me to count it again? Not necessary.

The money has already been counted.

That's a crazy-ass bitch back there, huh?

Keep your mouth shut.

And slow down! You are speeding.

[POLICE RADIO CHATTERING]

DETECTIVE: Just going back.

You say the assailant

forced you into Officer Banks' home

to retrieve a package from Officer Banks.

That's right. Okay.

And upon entering Officer Banks' residence,

you were then attacked by Officer Banks' wife.

That's correct.

At which point the assailant fired one shot

and killed her.

Yes.

So in your opinion,

was Officer Banks known to your assailant?

Excuse me?

Do you think they knew each other?

How would they know each other? Did Officer Banks say that?

Unfortunately, we haven't been able to locate Officer Banks.

We found the wife's body

and the radiator where you said he was hand-cuffed,

but by the time we reached the crime scene,

he was gone.

Any thoughts, any ideas where he might be?

No, I-- No, I don't know where Officer Banks could be.

You think there's any chance he might show up here?

Here? Why?

Seeing as that he apparently fled the scene

of his own wife's homicide,

he hasn't resurfaced to make a report, we honestly don't know

what's going through his mind right now.

Listen, just to be safe, we'll post a cruiser

out front of your apartment all night long, all right?

[METAL BANGS]

TOPO: Donnie?

DONNIE [OVER PHONE]: Black Cadillac. Quebec plates.

TOPO: How many are there?

Windows are tinted. I d-- I--

Maybe two?

Are you sure?

[DOORS CLOSE]

Yeah, yeah. There's two, I'm sure.

It looks like they want you to come over to them.

Right.

[QUEBECOIS ACCENT] You alone out here, homes?

You know that I am, Jacques.

What's with the glasses?

No problems.

Besides you being two days late?

Circumstances. I took care of it.

Oh, you took care of it?

Maybe you been out of the game too long,

you forgot how to talk to your boss, homes.

I am sure that if you ask your father--

Nah, dog.

I don't gotta ask nobody nothing.

Of course.

You are right.

It will not happen again.

Get in.

Why?

Because Alain is going to count it.

[¶]

[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]

What's this supposed to be?

It is all there.

We were 2000 short... JACQUES: Two short?

Motherfucker, you are way off.

I'm sorry?

Fuck you are.

This package is 50 light, homes.

Check again.

JACQUES: I don't need to check again.

Where's the fucking rest?

Jacques, listen.

JACQUES: Nah, fuck that.

I don't need that. I listen all the fuck time.

To my mama, to my girlfriend, too, motherfucker.

Listen to my old man who said I should use Topo,

that Topo could use the work.

And what is with the fucking glasses?!

I'm gonna count to five, Topolewski.

You tell me where you put the rest.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

CHLOE: Hey, baby, how's Denise's?

SOPHIA [ON PHONE]: Where are you, Mom?

I'm at home.

I'm just taking care of a few things.

Is the man with the glasses still there?

No, no, the man's gone.

Why's he gone?

Mom?

You there?

Baby, I was thinking

that maybe when I pick you up tomorrow

from Denise's, that...

instead of coming home, maybe we'll...

We'll just move.

And just leave?

You know, even if we move,

we'll still have each other, right?

But what about Mr. Jones?

Mr. Jones can come too.

All right, baby.

I love you.

I love you too.

Sleep tight.

Good night, Mom.

CHLOE: Greene County?

Yeah, I think there's been an accident,

um, at the gas station on Route 23.

Thank you.

[SIREN WAILING]

[PANTING]

[BELL DINGS] [GASPS]

You know that I did not come alone.

You have to leave. There are police watching this place.

There ought to be, but they are not.

You stoled $50,000 from package.

I still have it upstairs. I can get--

Stop!

Imagine my surprise

when my employers found it out.

But you weren't supposed to take it back to them.

You were supposed to keep half for yourself. That was the plan.

And before you even knew I took the 50 grand,

you wrecked my apartment and you took my money!

It was insurance.

I was gonna make it right when we split it,

and alls you had to do was keep your side of the bargain.

But you didn't. You did the wrong thi--

I did the wrong thing. I did the wrong thing.

You are afraid,

and when you are afraid, you talk too much.

Goodbye, Chloe.

No, please. Sophia doesn't have anyone.

[SOBBING] Please, 'cause Sophia doesn't have anyone.

TOPO: Your half.

Why are you doing this?

Because good help is hard to find.

[GUNSHOTS]

Whoa!

[GUNSHOT]

[GASPING]

[¶]

[SOBBING]

Oh, somebody left a bunch of fucking money here!

Somebody very carelessly,

they just left a bunch of fucking money here!

Some careless bitch

who was stupid enough to lie to me,

you just left a bunch of your fucking money here!

Hey! Hey! Put that fucking phone down.

Put your hands up. Put your fucking hands up, Chlo.

What the fuck is this, Chlo?

It's not what it looks like.

Do me a favor. Keep fucking lying to me.

I-- Keep fucking lying to me.

I swear to fucking God, keep doing it.

I beg of you!

Huh? I mean, where-- Where the fu--

Where do you fucking think you're going?

You think you're going to fucking Hawaii or something

after your little boyfriend fucking killed Amber?

Billy...

[WHISPERS] You're not gonna shoot me.

Bang! Bang, bang, bang! No, see?

I shot the fuck out of your fucking friends out there.

I was discharging my weapon all over the fucking place.

Did you see how I did that, Chlo? I didn't see.

No, you didn't fucking see that? You fuck.

You're a-- You're a...

You're a b-- You're a bad person, Chlo.

You're a bad person.

You are. You're a mother and you're a bad person.

You're a fucking liar, you're an accomplice,

you're a murderer, and you...

You could have been Mrs. Billy Banks.

Huh?

Where are you fucking going, Chlo?!

Huh?

[WHISPERS] I'm leavin'.

Can I-- Can I come?

Please, just you and me.

All you have to do is say yes.

But--

See what you--

Did you see what you--

You see what you fucking just did?

Why do you always fucking tease?

Why did you make love to me all those fucking times

if you didn't even mean it? Why'd you do that?

I mean, why did you fucking do this to me?!

I'm fucking sorry, Billy! I'm fucking sorry!

I'm sorry!

[SOBS]

[STAMPS FEET]

Okay, well...

[CHUCKLES]

I... I know there's more money.

and I know that you know where it is,

so I want you to tell me

where the fucking rest of the money is right now, Chlo.

Come here. Come here, show me.

Show me. Yeah, come here, show me.

Don't fucking worry, Chlo.

I'm not gonna fucking touch you.

Huh?

Is this it?

I should have seen it coming,

using me, just like you used Vincent.

Yeah, just like you probably used those two guys over there.

[GRUNTING]

Why'd you do it, Chlo? Why'd you do it?

Why'd you do it?

Stop, stop, stop.

Come on. Come on, Chlo. Come on.

Why'd you do this to us?

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Go...

I'm gonna go.

[GASPING]

[EXHALES]

[¶]

So you think Billy

had been dealing with these people for a while?

Yeah, yeah, I'd say that Officer Banks

got in way over his head.

Listen, are you sure you don't want

to come down to the station, talk to someone?

I'm anxious to see my daughter.

Of course you are.

You two got a place to go to, right?

Yeah.

We're okay.

Thank you.

Listen, one other thing. We found this roll of cash.

It was $2300, mostly small bills,

5s, 10s, that kind of thing.

Didn't match the other money.

I thought it might be yours?

No, sir.

[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]

[¶]

SOPHIA: Mom!

Baby.

Baby.

Oh, baby!

Oh, you washed your hair?

You okay? I'm fine.

So, baby, you know what I was thinking?

No.

I was thinking about what Stella Bradshaw said,

and I think maybe she's right.

Maybe people aren't supposed to live in motels.

Mom...

You're crazy.

Mm.

I know.
