Under the Bridge

Previously on Under the Bridge...

Yeah, it's me. I'm at the bus stop by the bridge.

Tell Mom I'll be home soon.

Let's go under the bridge.

Now, why was your daughter hangin' around a foster home?

Was there trouble in the family?

My niece is missing, and no one gives a damn about it!

I'm writing a book.

Why did you come here?

Because I had a friend who used to live here when I was a kid.

You live in New York?

Hey, maybe I can come stay with you.

They call themselves "C.M.C."

Crip. Mafia. Cartel.

People are saying Reena might be floatin' around somewhere.

If you wanna take this to the dive team,

you have my blessing, but it's your rep.

- Yeah. - Found something!

I-I think they're hers.

You better get me John Gotti's lawyer.

Cam's an old friend of mine. She told me I could speak to Josephine.

Can you keep a secret?

Good morning, Smooch.

Hey, guess what day it is?

- It's my-- - Reena!

Your breakfast, my liege.

And for you, my lady.

- Enjoy. - Reena.

You can't go out with your hair all messy.

- Mom, stop. - So, did you finish your homework?

Yeah.

Here you go, my queen.

What's wrong?

I just kinda wanted something special.

Reena, you remember what we learned at Kingdom Hall?

That "the day of one's death

is-is better than the day of one's birth."

Come, eat.

The stupid cops are always hassling me.

Let 'em come in here.

I'll tell 'em to fuck off and die.

Do you know why you're in here? What did they tell you?

Shh. Not now.

If you think I'm gonna say shit, you're wrong.

Do I look like I have a tail?

What's so fucking funny?

You hear she asked for John Gotti's lawyer?

Well, did you get her a lawyer?

No, she doesn't need a lawyer. She needs a timeout.

Well, that's a huge violation of her civil liberties.

Doesn't matter anyway. She's free to go.

I thought she was here being questioned about a homicide.

And now, she's not. No homicide.

Just a bunch of kids fuckin' around under the bridge.

So, you just dragged these kids here

in the middle of the night for nothing?

Guess so.

Maybe you can still make your bedtime if you hurry home.

Keeping Saanich safe?

Good to see ya too, Rebecca.

She looks injured here.

Something happened under that bridge.

We shouldn't just be letting them go without asking anything.

Well, you're just lucky Dad's not makin' you clean up after yourself.

What a gong show. Sorry you got mixed up in this.

Kell's alright, aren't you, Kell?

Alright, let's go home.

He's pissed.

I guess it wasn't the Crips. Maybe it was the Bloods?

Yeah, forgot to mention, Rebecca Godfrey's here.

"It's a violation of her civil liberties."

Man, you lit that pig up.

It was just, like, a fancier way

of saying, "Fuck off and die."

They're all such pieces of shit.

They get off on the power, ya know?

Well, you seem to be pretty familiar with all the cops in there.

They get me for shoplifting mostly.

That's why I got my gophers now.

- Your "gophers"? - Yeah. My little minions.

They jack stuff for me at the mall.

They got me this.

It's Baby Phat.

I feel like I look real Mafia in fur.

Okay, so...

now what do I do with you?

You going back to Seven Oaks?

They lock us out at midnight.

I'm just gonna crash at my friend Connor's.

Bye.

Jo!

What was the secret you were gonna tell me?

I'm a soft touch, aren't I?

- What? - This is you and your toys all over again.

Whatever you begged me for as a kid,

I'd run right out and get it 'cause I figured, ya know,

you had it rough before we got you, and you deserved it.

Dad, what are we even talking about?

I let you get away with everything, Cam.

You wanna dredge the Gorge,

and there I am with another toy for you to play with.

I'm done spoiling you.

Shouldn't someone at least tell the Virks what's going on?

W-We're done with the fucking Virks!

Cam,

you made the department look like a bunch of Boy Scouts.

We can't rally the troops for every runaway in Victoria.

- It'd never end. - So, you think Reena just ran away then?

- I don't know. - What's she running from?

You tell me. You're the one that wants to get away from here as fast as you can.

Dad, come on.

I don't see why. This island is paradise.

It's safe... It's clean.

Why would anyone wanna leave?

She's 14, white, and blonde.

Delicate like a new doll, but she longs to be a gangster.

To her, it's the only way out of the abyss of Victoria.

- What's that for? - Um...

this is for talking to myself.

It helps me write sometimes.

Are you talking shit about me?

Yeah.

It's Jo Gotti, bitch! Fuck the police!

I want mozzarella sticks.

Or a milkshake.

Great.

Get both.

I swear, all Seven Oaks gives us is, like, Spam and shit.

How did you end up at Seven Oaks?

My mom's boyfriend couldn't handle me.

She said it was either me or him, so I was like, great,

I'd love to live on my own anyway.

And what about your dad?

Let me know if you can find him.

Hey, both. What are we thinkin'?

We are going to have two chocolate milkshakes--

Strawberry.

And an order of mozzarella sticks.

And a cheeseburger.

And key lime pie.

And I want, like, a bunch of Cool Whip on it.

And fries.

- You're, Rebecca Godfrey, right? - Yeah.

I was in Gabe's class.

He, um...

he was a really nice guy.

Who's Gabe?

Your ex-boyfriend?

He was my brother.

He died when we were kids.

How did he die?

I don't really like talking about it, if that's okay.

So, what is the big secret?

Why were you arrested?

Have you ever been arrested before?

Yeah, definitely. I was a really bad kid.

Remember that girl, Reena, I told you about?

- Yeah, your friend who went missing. - She was not my friend.

She wanted to ruin my life.

She told everyone I was, like, an AIDS victim.

And she stole from me, so... I had to teach her a lesson.

What did you do?

I'll make you a deal.

I'll take you down there, show you what happened,

but I want you to take me to New York with you,

and I wanna be the star of your book.

I should take you to your friend's place soon.

Let's eat.

Hello?

Hello? Hello?

Shit.

Hi.

Hi.

Is this okay

or... do you still only drink vodka?

No, I'm-I'm good, thanks.

Not here for a sleepover.

So, you're a cop now?

That's kind of...

terrible.

Yeah, I'll let my entire family know you said so.

So, what's goin' on here exactly?

- With what? - You don't step foot in Victoria

in... 10 years,

and you just show up in the middle of my homicide investigation?

You trying to fuck with me or something?

I thought there wasn't a homicide.

- There isn't. - But your brother said

that something happened under the bridge.

Did Josephine Bell do something?

Now, how do you know her, Rebecca?

'Cause I'm talking to her for a book I'm writing.

And she had nobody else to call at the station,

so she called me to come get her.

She tell you anything?

No.

So, you just drove home in silence then?

Yeah.

She said that the cops were hassling her.

For no reason.
