The Romeo Section

Previously on the Romeo section...

I thought I asked you to leave it to me

to deal with Andre.

You could've started a street war.

Maybe you have already.

Do you wanna see the fuckin' security video

of him burning down my back door?

I would.

Turn this shitbag shorts in to us for punishment.

You'll be safe here. For how long?

If you sabotage my job,

you'll only be punishing yourself.

Don't forget this.

I don't like guns in the house.

If you're considering

working with professor song,

I hope you realize

that she's connected to the people's republic.

Michael Gary, you know him?

Is he poking into this quiller inquiry,

the terrorist thing at the ballpark?

I need a living, breathing, credible witness.

So what do you got?

Got some real nice down these days.

Not interested.

What about percs?

I like to maintain

the illusion of respectability.

All right, uh...

30 in there.

You're a prince.

Everybody decent? I'm coming in.

I'm back!

Sonya?

Fuck!

I guess no one thought to tell me

you were going to disappear.

I'm sorry, honey.

I left you a note.

It's not his fault. I wanted to get outside.

Don't scare me like that.

I didn't know where the hell you went.

W-wait!

I apologize.

I'm sorry.

Forget about it.

I was just worried you'd wandered off alone.

I'm sorry.

I'm glad you're feeling a little better.

I have more energy.

Did you take your meds today?

Nope.

You need to be careful doing that.

Cut down slowly. Take halfs.

Is it okay if I take a shower?

Of course.

Use the towels on the right,

and be careful, it gets hot fast.

Please remember to eat something today.

I will.

Ciao.

This is lucky.

I've wanted to get a moment alone with you.

You've known Norman a long time.

Long time. 25 years.

He calls you the only decent friend he's ever had.

You'd think he'd know me better than that by now.

You seem relatively decent to me.

Do you know he has HIV.

No.

He doesn't want you to know.

He's afraid you'll drop him.

I wouldn't.

I won't.

He's says it's perverse,

but he's having more fun than he's had

in years and years.

But I can see it's putting him under enormous stress.

Right.

In the scheme of things,

is whatever you're doing really all that important?

I don't know.

So...

Maybe you could think about firing him

or something.

That's it.

Who's this?

Who?

Him.

He runs a security business.

Why?

He was there.

At the ball game.

Oh, shit.

The customer you are trying to reach

is unavailable.

Please leave a message.

Hey. It's me.

I didn't hear back from you last night.

I hope everything is okay.

Talk soon?

Damn.

Who is it?

It's me.

I'm right outside.

You'll be interested to hear

what Sonya has to say.

She spotted him.

Who?

I saw him.

We spoke.

She saw him, and they spoke.

What did you speak about?

I just told him what I saw.

They had drinks a couple days later.

We had drinks.

Okay, breakfast is on the table.

Sit.

Can you bring me up to speed?

Maybe start with the day of the baseball game.

It was a hot day.

You were thirsty...

I remember now,

you don't have to remind me.

Um... I was thirsty,

so I went down

into where they sell the drinks.

Concession stand.

Um...

Then what?

You saw somebody arguing.

I saw two men arguing.

One was in uniform.

The security guard.

Him.

He was arguing with him.

Mustapha.

What was the argument about?

They were shouting.

The guard shouted, "take it, take it!"

But he wouldn't take it.

She means the backpack.

I'm a little confused.

Who had the backpack?

The security guard.

I told the police all this...

then Michael Gary shows up.

He asks Sonya to tell him what she saw,

and then he asks if he can talk to her later.

He called up, they had drinks.

Why did he want to talk to you later?

I don't know.

I just remember

we had drinks.

I don't remember what we talked about.

I wasn't feeling well,

and I woke up the next morning,

and I was seeing things.

She was hallucinating.

That's when she checked into the hospital.

Where did you have the drinks?

At his apartment.

It's near here.

Can I speak with you for a minute?

Sure.

Eat.

If all that's to be believed,

he drugged her.

I think he drugged her.

With what?

Well, of a couple of things maybe.

LSD, that would account for the hallucinations,

popular in mind control experiments,

Mk ultra,

that guy in Montreal.

And maybe a hypnotic.

A date rape drug,

that would account for loss of memory.

A cocktail

mixed for the occasion.

Something he's used in interrogations before.

A while ago,

she told me she was having hallucinations

about people climbing into bed with her.

You think he might have raped her?

I don't know.

I wouldn't press her on that.

Get her to record a statement on your phone.

Get her to go over everything again.

They would destroy her in court.

That's why you have to get it on camera.

Maybe it's time to tell her I'm not an insurance man.

Do not do that.

Stick to your cover.

Get it on camera.

And get the address of that bastard's apartment.

Yeah?

I heard you been having a bit of trouble.

No trouble at all.

Who said I did?
