Euphoria

Are we gonna find any drugs in your vehicle?

No, sir.

People love to argue about the truth.

Some say it's just the facts.

Others say it's what's right.

Some even claim there's no real truth at all.

Just opinions.

The funny thing is

while we may disagree about what the truth is

we all know when we're telling a lie.

Fuck.

This is all the K-9 unit found.

You seem surprised.

Nope, not at all. I told you guys I wasn't lying, so.

Where are you coming from and where are you going?

You know, it's...

It's funny. I was actually headed to a wedding.

At 10 p.m.?

Yeah, well, I was headed back.

What do you mean, back?

Yeah, I was at the wedding earlier.

Why did you leave?

A friend. It was like an emergency thing.

What kind of emergency?

She wasn't invited to the wedding, you know,

so it was like a whole thing, and...

I don't really want to get into the details,

but yeah.

What is your relationship with Laurie?

Is that the monotone lady?

The monotone lady?

Yeah, she, like, talks like this.

So, you do know her?

I mean, like, not like that.

- I know her, kind of. - So, you and Laurie don't call each other?

No, no. God, no.

Have you ever been to Mexico?

Mm...

No. No.

Never been.

Is it nice?

- Some parts. - Mm.

So, if I had a photo of you in Mexico, would you say it wasn't you?

Me? In Mexico?

- But you say you've never been. - You have a photo of me?

- So, it's not you? - In Mexico?

- Yes. - I'd have to see the photo then.

- I don't have it. - So, it's a hypothetical scenario.

Well, I can tell you with absolute certainty

that I have never been to the moon.

- Have you been to the moon? - I've never been to the moon.

- Are you sure? - Positive.

Somebody comes in saying they have a photo of you in the moon.

- It wasn't me. - Why not?

Because I've never been to the fucking moon.

- Make sense? - So far.

So, if I had a photo of you in Mexico, what would you say?

Like, where in Mexico?

So, you've been to Mexico.

I mean, like, I've been to the border. I drive for Uber and Lyft.

Oh, but you've never driven into Mexico.

I mean, I may have gotten lost, or turned around, or some shit.

You know, like, I used to be an addict.

It gets fuzzy sometimes.

But you would remember if you drove 20 or 30 minutes into Mexico.

Absolutely.

Thought you said you didn't have a photo.

I lie.

Do you remember meeting this guy?

I mean, I don't...

He's a cartel member. His name is Uno.

He operates a club 20 minutes from the border.

I don't know what this is, but I...

False statement to a federal agent.

18 U.S.C. 1001, five years in federal prison.

So you guys can lie to me, but I can't lie to you.

- Correct. - That seems fucked up.

Apparently, we have different definitions of what constitutes fucked up.

We also lied to you when we said we didn't find any drugs in your car.

Recognize this?

Yeah.

This is 20 years in federal prison.

And federal inmates don't get parole.

We know who you work for and what you've been doing.

We know the fentanyl you've trafficked has killed people.

For each death, we can link to you, it's an additional 20 years.

You may never see the light of day again.

Look at me.

I can see it deep down that you're a good kid

in a bad situation.

Our job is to take the drugs off the streets,

because too many lives have been destroyed.

Wouldn't you agree?

- Yeah. - So, this can go two ways.

We can either take you into federal custody,

or you become a confidential source

and help us take these people down.

Oh, fuck.

"Fuck" is accurate.

If you want to turn a curse into a blessing...

I would say this is your opportunity.

And that is how I became a snitch.

They swapped out the drugs for sugar pills and laxatives.

Told me to stay cool and they'd be in touch.

Give me a little twirl. Kitty, Kitty, Kitty.

Mm, what do you think of that booty?

- It's alright. - Could be a bit juicier, huh?

We don't want to scare off the whites, though.

Yeah, in my mind, I'm picturing a tasteful tush.

You know, commercial, classy ass.

- Mm-hmm. - Bitch, you look like shit.

- Me? - Ain't nobody else in here

- looking like shit. - Oh.

Sorry, I'm just a little hungover, that's all.

I'm gonna need you to smile.

Not you. You!

Oh, me. Again. Sorry.

Are you hungover or fucking retarded?

- I'm just confused. - Smile, bitch.

Oh, yeah.

Let me see those fuckin' pearly whites.

- Ah! - Yeah!

Ah, that's what I'm talkin' about!

- Now, that's a fuckin' smile. - Yeah.

Smile of Sammy Davis Jr.

Let me see them...

You know why you're fuckin' smiling?

No, sir.

'Cause I gave that bitch Laurie

a taste of her own medicine.

You know, I got a feeling

that's the last fucking pick-up you'll ever do.

Well, then who are we buying from, then?

You think there's a fuckin' shortage of dealers in LA?

- Pssh, not in this LA, partner. - Fuck no.

Right.

So I'm in the mood to celebrate.

Yeah.

Luckily, I got me a newfound friend, Kitty.

Come on over here, baby.

Look at that.

And Kitty likes to dance.

What you gonna do with all that money when you start making it?

- The bitch can dance? - She's from Kansas.

Cut her some slack.

Where is Kansas?

You look like death warmed up.

Yeah, I think it's just like a tummy thing.

You plan on taking that off?

Hm?

Okay, so what happens when they find out the drugs are fake?

Oh, I assume they will call Laurie and ask her

to correct the mistake.

Okay, but aren't they just gonna blame me?

Why would you swap out the drugs? It's not like you're a snitch.

They also installed an app on my phone.

We added a new number under your mom's contact.

Tap it and the bug goes hot.

Can I just keep it in my pocket?

It can get muffled. It's better in the open.

Isn't that suspicious?

- Sometimes. - Sometimes not.

You guys are gonna give me a fucking heart attack.

I can bag it.

No need. Stocked up.

The toe is a metaphor.

What?

The toe.

It's a metaphor.

You know what, I thought that I'd lost it forever.

But we were smart.

You know, we put it on ice and we took it to the hospital,

and they were able to put it back on.

What's the metaphor?

When you break something, you gotta pick up the pieces.

Right, you gotta be real careful with it

and you gotta glue it back together.

So, the toe is us?

In a way.

Toe's never gonna be the same.

How do you know?

'Cause the doctor said so.

He said the toe will never feel the same.

I think you're misinterpreting the metaphor.

No, the metaphor doesn't mean what you want it to mean.

You can look at a scar as a sign of weakness,

or you can look at it as a strength.

Okay, so now you're changing the metaphor.

No, I'm not.

First, you said that we're the toe, and now you're saying we're the scar.

What are you, an English teacher? I'm talking about our relationship.

When I look at my toe, it motivates me

to build back better.

Everything you built is built on a lie.

Not everything. Some things, yeah.

Okay, just our relationship,

this house, our finances, your business.

You didn't say our love.

How much do you owe this guy?

Oh, somewhere between a little and a lot.
