Tell Me a Story

I am trying to help you.

The only help I want

is for the police to find the man responsible

for my fiancée's murder.

We're working on it, sir.Don't do that. Don't placate me.

The detective in charge would like to speak with you.

I'm so well insulated,

I'm untouchable.

Truce.

Kayla, I love you.

Something's not right-- why did he use his brother's name?

Teach isn't who he says he is.

He's crazier than Ethan, who, by the way,

has fallen off the face of the earth.

We found this.

$2 million.

Where's the money?

Tell me where the money is, and this will all go away.

I don't know.TERRY: The blood's coming up.

The microwave's a lost cause.

Somebody came and got him.

You're not staying here. You're coming with me.

Please, you have to help me.

Take him back

to the basement.

No! No! No! No!

Get off me!

Is that your car?

What the hell?

Motherfucker!

Nice car.

You're fucking dead!

That's exactly what Eddie said.

And Mitch.

You have no idea who you...

Jesus, you do not want to mess with me.

I gave you an out, an opportunity, a choice.

And I gave you an answer.

You're fucked, man.

You are fucking fucked!

Bring it.

How's he doing?

I gave him something for his pain.

He slept through the night.Have you heard from Sam?

Yeah. He's very antsy.

So am I.

Call the sister. Set the exchange.

But I don't want you going.

She seems to be a handful.

I thought I'd call Bruce.

And is he up for it?

He's good.

He wants to do it.

No more fuckups.

Once he gets the money, he needs to take her out.

And then you can take care of this one.

I'll call him now.

Thanks, Mom.

You've caused quite a mess.

I'm sorry.

Tell me something.

How did you know Dan Simmons had the money?

I-I didn't.

We found his locker key.

But you had to kill him to get it.

No. It was an accident.

He fell. He hit his head.

So, you were one of Dan's boys

he liked to play with.

We thought the money was Dan's.

It was my money, and I want it back.

Just please don't hurt Hannah.

Oh, she'll hurt,

and she'll die

and end up in the same river we put Dan Simmons' body,

right along with you.

You stole from the wrong person.

You're gonna be late for school.

I'm not going.

Mental health day.

I see.

Your dad told me that you guys talked.

Did he leave already?

Yeah, but you can stay home.

I'm sure he'd approve.

I'm sorry, Kayla.

For all of it.

It must... royally suck.

That's an understatement.

You were right about my mom.

She couldn't be trusted.

You're gonna hold that over me?

No.

But you were right.

No, I was wrong about her.

Because... she created you,

and you are... absolute perfection.

Okay, now you're laying it on thick.

Well, a little, but I... I want to make my point.

Which is?

I am really happy that you're here, Kayla.

I wasn't really sure

how this grandmother thing would work out,

but...

I kind of like it.

I should get to work.

I'm a phone call away.

Did you get some sleep?

Very little.

We're gonna get him back, Hannah.

How?

These are some bad people

with some serious resources.

Yeah, but we got the upper hand here.

They don't know about me.

For all they know,

you're working alone.

It's her.

Hello?

You ready to see your brother?

Where should I meet you?

The warehouse off Jones and Comstock.

Tonight at 9:00.

Come alone,

or you don't get the money.

I left at lunch, and Nick wasn't there.

Have you heard from him?

Yep.

He's been texting me nonstop.

Same stalker shit.

You need to tell your dad what's going on.

I know. You're right.

No, I'll tell him...

tonight.

You promise?

Yeah, I promise.

Who are you talking to?

Ethan's back from the dead.

Oh, no.

Yeah, um, he wants me to meet him.

I'm gonna go.

Really?

Really.

Good luck tonight.

Thank you, Laney.

For what?

For being my friend.

Mm.

My only friend.

I'm all you need.

Can I get a toy?: You already have one of those.

What about this?

Not today. Come on, come on, come on.

How about... we get some ice cream instead?

Yeah!Yeah? Okay.

What kind do you want to get?Chocolate.

Chocolate? Okay, let's go.

Uh, Detective Reynolds told you to let it go.

I know.

I'm not fucking with that guy.

That guy's got a lot of pull.

He told me Eddie Longo was with his supplier

on the day of the jewelry store robbery.

I talked to his supplier; he hasn't seen Eddie in two months.

Said that Eddie owed him money and had been avoiding him.

All right. And wha-- why would Reynolds lie about that?

I did some digging into the Longo brothers.

Turns out Reynolds

was Mitch Longo's parole officer in 2009,

and Eddie's in 2011.

I went through the old boxes,

found the connection in the handwritten paperwork,

but it wasn't listed in the digital records.

It's a coincidence.

I don't believe in coincidence.

I think he didn't put it in the records on purpose, so no one

could connect them.Come on, they screw that stuff up all the time

on the database; we both know that.

On the day of the robbery,

Reynolds didn't report into his precinct.

Well, could've been out in the field working a case.

Yeah. That's true.

Or he could also be our third pig.

That is a huge leap, Renee.

All right, Jesus.

What are you, losing it?

Listen, the guy's a star in his district.

He wouldn't be the first dirty cop in the world.

You are starting to sound like Evans.

You got zero proof.

I know. I know.

I am just angling.

What's up?

I'm in trouble. I need your help.

Let me guess, Ethan?

Yeah. He's totally wasted.

I need your help to get him home.

For real?

For real.

I need you to come meet me.
