In the Dark

Feel the textures of my beauty.

Previously on In The Dark...

Oh, my God.

Tyson. Help!

So what were you doing in the alley?

We were friends.

I'm his father.

I found Tyson lying dead.

No, that's impossible.

What I do know is that he skipped town for good.

Quit his job at the flower shop, sold his stuff and everything.

I've never done this before.

What? Dated anyone.

But I sort of want to try that with you.

Tyson witnessed the Crawford murder, and you didn't tell me.

You know we got to keep work out of this.

It's better for both of us.

Yeah.

Are you hungry again? Always.

Can you open this? Yeah.

Here.

Thank you.

Oh, God, don't eat that. That expired, like, a week ago.

Tastes good, like a fine wine.

Is that how you stay so thin? Eat rotting food?

You know, Tyson's dad said he talked to Tyson

a couple days ago, but... I know I felt him in the alley.

It... It doesn't make sense.

Also not making sense, Tyson worked at a flower shop?

Exactly. Like, what flower shop?

Like... when? Why?

Dude, you're asking me like I know

the answers to these questions.

Oh, tampons. I need tampons.

And so do you, actually, because I used your last one

this morning, sorry.

Super plus.

How do you wear these things?

It feels like I have a tiny penis inside of me.

Wait, we're not on our periods yet. I am.

I'm, like, two days in. Oh, God.

Are you late? Please don't tell me you're late.

It's probably stress. Murphy...

I've taken so many morning-after pills,

if I'm not infertile by this point, I'm suing them.

We can't have a baby. I can feel the blood brewing in me.

Okay? I've been late before. It's nothing.

Come on.

I'm so lucky I don't have to deal with this whole

pregnancy scare stuff.

Thank you for flaunting your gay privilege.

Anytime.

Hey, Chels, can you top me off?

Of course.

How's it, uh, how's it going with the tech guy?

Uh, okay.

I mean, I haven't heard from him in, like, a week.

He was really busy, and then his sister was in town...

Oh, sweet Chelsea.

He's boning somebody else, isn't he?

He's definitely boning someone else.

Cool. Should I just kill myself now, or...?

Who's gonna pour me my drinks?

Oh, that's right.

I'll live for you. Hey, Chelsea.

I'm gonna go pour this guy his drink.

Hey.

It's Dean.

Kind of I thought I might find you here.

Really using those detective skills.

Hey, I got your message about Tyson's dad.

About how I'm doing your job ten times better than you are.

Actually, I came to tell you that I have a lead.

So, no, you're not.

A lead? Yeah.

A, uh, rival dealer was shot, and Tyson was there.

You think this rival drug dealer killed Tyson?

No, I-- Based on what you told me about Tyson's dad,

I think maybe this dealer's people drove Tyson out of town.

Oh.

Hey.

Can I get you a drink?

Uh, yeah, sure. I'll have a... a beer.

We have, like, 50.

Oh. Okay.

Yeah, he's, uh, he's not much of a drinker.

Oh...

I drink.

I'll, uh, have a...

No, wait. Don't. Let me pick.

I'm, like, really good at this.

Okay. Okay.

That's exciting.

Okay.

This is a local brew, double IPA.

It's my personal favorite.

Ooh.

Mmm. That is tasty.

Oh, you hate it.

He hates it. He hates it. No, no, no, no.

I love it. Truly. Thank you. Okay.

I'll be right back.

So, you want to do it?

Excuse me?

Chelsea, the bartender.

I can totally make that happen.

No, I, uh...

If you want. If you're down. I'm good.

But, um... you know, I'm hungry.

You want to get a bite?

Hi, babe. Right now?

Hey.

Sorry. Uh, Dean, this is my... boyfriend.

It's still hard for her to say. A little bit.

Oh, I'm Max.

It's nice to meet you. Yeah. You, too.

Ready to go? Yeah.

Will you let me know if you find out anything else?

Yeah. Okay. All right. See you.

Yeah.

What is this?

It's a Shirley Temple.

It's more your speed.

Really, really tired.

I'll be quick.

Come on, come on. it'll only take, like, five....

Oh, that's a ringing endorsement.

All right. Okay.

Okay, good night.

I'll go to sleep.

Good night.

Is there blood?

I think we might be too close. This isn't even weird.

Well, is there blood?

Do my boobs look bigger? Feel them.

Okay, that's where I draw the line.

Do my boobs look bigger.

Be a grown up. Take a test.

Be a grown-up. Take a test.

You just refuse to look because they're better than Vanessa's!

No, they're not.

Bitch.

You're short 15K.

That's almost half your haul.

I know. I've got it handled.

You know, you've been off your game

since that cousin of yours went missing.

Would you care to explain to me why your money boy is

running around with that blind girl?

They were hooking up.

I thought it ended a couple weeks ago.

Well, it didn't.

I might be in here, but that don't mean

I ain't got eyes out there.

I'm looking at 20 years if they pin me for racketeering.

The last thing I want is somebody poking around

in my business while I'm waiting on my trial date.

So take care of it.

Yeah. Look at me!

Take care of it.

I got it.

All right.

Oh, by the way, I gave Wesley a few blocks

to try him out these past couple weeks.

Wesley? You got to be kidding me.

He's a loose cannon. Kid's not serious.

He's moving major product. He's a good soldier.

You know, if I were you, I'd step it up, Darnell.

On all fronts.

"Clover Flora." No.

How many flower shops can there possibly be?

Incoming call from Max.

I take it that you're not

telling baby daddy what's going on?

Murphy, I don't understand why you refuse

to take a test.

Because I'm not going to.

I'm barely late, okay? Drop it.

Okay. Company time. Company computer.

Is this company work?

Is this the company loser?

Rules are rules. Okay?

Are you okay?

You're cracking a lot more than usual.

Knuckles or neck? Knuckles.

Gross. Guys, I'm right here.

And if you must know, my Uncle Ralph

is in hospice at my mom's house,

and he's getting worse.

So, he only has a couple days,

if we're lucky,

so I'm driving up to Winnetka tonight.

Oh, Felix, I'm so sorry.

It is what it is.

I'm walking out the front now, so wait at least 20 minutes.

D? You good?

Huh?

Uh, yeah, yeah. Just...

Ugh, I thought I was done

sneaking out of girl'' houses at 15.
