Death Cycle

Fractured skull, broken pelvis,

lacerated liver, and two blood transfusions.

That is horrible.

It was an accident.

At least that's what they say it was.

You don't think so?

I don't know what to think.

One minute, I was walking down the street

with my sister, catching up, and the next,

we're lay down on the pavement, barely alive.

- I read that, uh, you were hit by a car.

Yeah. I got the worst of it.

So what's so urgent?

We have a problem.

Yeah, you usually do.

This one's different.

What's with him?

Sit the fuck down.

Oh, we're gonna start like this, are we?

Sit.

Please.

So who's gonna fill me in?

Eddie, tell him.

Something happened.

An accident.

Oh, it wasn't just an accident.

- We were coming home from an event.

- An event where you made a fool of yourself.

How?

You and your cousins with your shots,

shots, shots, shots, shots.

Hey, I'm not here for this.

Eddie, talk.

There were two girls.

They just appeared out of nowhere.

We ran into them.

You ran into them.

Then what?

Hey, look at me. They're not telling your story.

Then what?

We left.

Eddie, talk. Everything.

Everything!

You killed that girl.

Oh, he killed both of those girls.

- No, no, there was a hit and run last night

involving two women, but only one of them died.

What, you didn't fuckin' hear what I just said?

Okay, this is gonna be a problem.

Not mine.

Uh, excuse me, where are you going?

This is not my problem.

We need you to fix this.

And how am I supposed to fix this?

- Uh, Gerry, there doesn't need to be just one dead girl.

Does she even know what I fuckin' do?

I think you do what we say.

Fuck you, and fuck you too. I'm done.

- I think we all just need to take it easy.

This is me taking it easy.

I don't mind helping you out every once in a while, Ray.

That's fine. But this is way beyond that.

Nobody is killing anybody.

All we're asking is that things don't escalate.

Just make sure these two aren't implicated in this.

Can you do that?

Can you help us with that?

- Let me see what I can do, okay? But this is it.

After this, I'm done with you and your whole fuckin' family.

Hello?

Luca, it's Gerry.

Why are you calling me, Gerry?

- Things are a mess. You need to come home.

That's funny.

Serious. There's shit going on.

There always is.

Your brother's dead.

Oh, man, it's just nothing makes sense.

Your cousin Ray is dead too.

Someone killed them.

- Oh. - They were slaughtered.

You need to come home for your sister.

She's not doing well.

I'll fill you in on everything, all the details.

Text me when you get here. Take care of yourself.

Sorry about your loss.

Thanks.

Any arrests, suspects?

Nope. Nothing solid at all.

- Sure they had a lot of enemies to choose from.

Well, you'd think,

but Eddie was pretty low-key in the organization.

It's really your sister that's running everything now.

If that's the case, then why am I here?

- Well, that one you're gonna have to ask her.

Right.

You're not coming in, are you?

No, no, no, no.

The less I have to do with your family,

the better it is for my mental health.

Yeah.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Luca.

I didn't think you'd come.

So, um, it looks like distancing yourself from us

is going quite well for you.

The writing and the journalistic integrity,

it's something to be proud of.

You can stop.

All right, Cat, what happened?

Well, what did Gerry tell you?

- How my brother and my cousin were murdered.

Eddie, uh,

Eddie probably deserved it, but Ray?

Uh, yeah, it was Eddie.

It was all Eddie, this one.

Cat, what the fuck's going on?

We were at a gala, and he was drinking.

Well, we were both drinking.

I thought he was okay to drive, and

he was driving, and

he hit these two girls.

And then what happened?

One lived and one died.

Oh my god.

Luca, he went too far this time.

He, he killed her.

And why the fuck would he do that?

I don't know. I don't.

I just think he got out of the car

and saw that he had a real problem.

And you believed him?

No.

What about the other girl?

Eddie said she was dead.

And the police, what are they saying?

Oh, she IDed Eddie right away,

but then Gerry's fixed it all.

He made sure that Eddie had this alibi.

He did some gaslighting, talked to the girl, you know,

and said, "Oh, are you sure you,

you saw what you think you saw?"

You know.

How is she now?

Oh, yeah, she's really banged up.

But I swear to God, I swear, she,

she has something to do with Eddie and Ray, I just,

I just know it somehow.

All right. What do you want me to do?

I want you to talk to her.

I need you to hear her story.

I need you to hear her telling the details

in case something leaks.

Just do what you do.

How do I find her?

Call Gerry. He has info on her.

He's actually talking to a witness tonight, he said.

What? Where, where you going?

If you need me, call me.

What do you mean, call?

Where are you going though?

I got a motel down the street.

No, no, no, no, no. You'll stay here.

- Cat, if you want to pretend, that's fine,

but we both know what happened here when we were kids.

Namaste.

Hey, can you give me info on the girl?

Yeah. Her name is Abby Dale.

Is she local?

Yes, she is. She's at 114 Dalton Street.

But you didn't get that from me, okay?

Thanks.

We got a fuckin' problem here?

Shut it down. Get off.

No? Okay.

Fuck this.

Hello?

So what do you want?

Is this Abby?

Yes.

Hi, Abby.

I have some questions about the Sullivans I was hoping that-

- I'm busy. - We could talk about.

Stop following me.

And don't call me back.

Um, sorry,

it won't take up much time. - Stop wasting my time.

- Hi, Abby, just a creepy reporter. Don't worry.

Not hitting on you, I'm married, happily married.

Can I come in?

Fuck, yeah, what the fuck are you saying?

Ask you some dead people.

I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about.

You still wanna see her?

Yeah.

Okay, come on.

Abby?

- Is he here? - Yeah.

You can go now.
