00:00Circulation is down. You'll get 200 and all bait.
00:06How will I live?
00:07Maybe you should start killing people.
00:12Emerson Stafford.
00:14Elvira.
00:15Can't see. I know. Looks like we're working together.
00:24Maria Riedel's body was in the boot of your car.
00:27I was going to say that I shot her.
00:28Yeah, but you didn't shoot her.
00:30I think we have a killer in our town.
00:34You're right. There is a killer.
00:37You.
00:38Huey Burns has been arrested for the murder of Maria Riedel.
00:41This town needs closure.
00:45I need to find a connection between these two deaths.
00:52A connection.
00:53I need to find a connection.

01:06I need to find a connection.
01:06I don't know.
01:36Is he alive?
01:40Not remotely.
02:06I don't know.
02:07I don't know.
02:08I don't know.
02:09I don't know.
02:10I don't know.
02:12I don't know.
02:17I don't know.
02:19I don't know.
02:24I don't know.
02:25I don't know.
02:26I don't know.
02:27I don't know.
02:28I don't know.

02:30I don't know.
02:31I don't know.
02:32I don't know.
02:33I don't know.
02:34I don't know.
02:35I don't know.
02:36I don't know.
02:37Hello.
02:38Hello.
02:39You poor thing.
02:42You must have eaten something nasty, did you?
02:47Oh, Christ.
02:51Hello.
02:52What is that?
02:53Hello.
02:54Oh, my God.
02:55That's a nose.
02:56Oh, God.
02:57Why is that?
02:58Help.
02:59Hello.
03:00Is there anybody there?
03:01Some cultures claim that a person who dies without their eyes can never cross over
03:08to the other side.
03:10Help.
03:11Help.
03:12Help.
03:13Help.
03:14That their soul is tethered to this world, bound to their earthly remains.
03:19Never to find peace, only to be left wandering this world for all eternity.
03:46I hope that's not true.
03:50That you're not destined to be stuck in this town haunting these people because, well, that's
03:57kinda my job.
04:03Oh, Dad.
04:05You've left me in a pretty awful position.
04:08And I'm not talking about the unpaid bills or a closed coffin.
04:12You've left me with...
04:15writer's block.
04:21Your eulogy.
04:24Where it's supposedly ripped from the bottom of my heart and I have nothing.
04:28Because to write I need to feel something and right now I feel nothing.
04:34But what if I'm a monster?
04:37Incapable of grief.
04:43You're the only one who'd understand that.
04:46And now you're not here to tell me I'm wrong.
04:48Who knows?
04:49Maybe killing is how I grieve.
05:01Instead of tears.
05:03Dead bodies are how I show sorrow.
05:06Because I hate living in a world where you're dead and they're alive.
05:11Cracking jokes about you.
05:12The man without a face.
05:14The drunk who drowned in a foot of water.
05:17They'll pee.
05:19The first one who says something.
05:23It's time.
05:32I know you're struggling with the eulogy so I jotted a few things down.
05:36It's sentimental.
05:39What can I say?
05:40I adored the man.
05:42And before you ask, change whatever you like.
05:44I know you'll make it better.
05:48I spent a lifetime dreading his death.
05:51I always pictured myself alone when it happened.
05:55I'm glad I got that wrong.
05:57Do you mind if I have a word alone?
06:17I'll look after her.
06:20Which means, as much as it kills me,
06:22She'll never know about the slippery second-rate murderer I think you really were.
06:28What a pathetic way to go.
06:30Not one thing in your pocket but a bed and slip.
06:33No, I saw it.
06:34All smudged and crumpled.
06:37I checked your race.
06:45They'd grown quite close.
06:48That horse you bet on.
06:50Won by a nose.
06:53Which is more than they can say about you.
07:10There you are.
07:22Two hours sleep.
07:32One hour less than last night.
07:36They say insomnia can happen when you're not living true to yourself.
07:40But I know what my true self wants to do.
07:43Hey.
07:44Are you still not sleeping?
07:46I think you should see someone.
07:48Or kill someone.
07:58Don't swallow it this time.
08:03I think you dropped this.
08:04Yes.
08:05Yes.
08:09Row 26A.
08:10You have grandchildren, Gladys.
08:11In the States.
08:12Teenagers.
08:13They don't care how I feel.
08:16Well, I do.
08:18So tell me.
08:19How do you feel?
08:20Let's just say, I hope the food is better in heaven than this kip.
08:21Now we're talking.
08:22You are not a nurse.
08:23Why are you here?
08:24Do you want the truth?
08:25Because at your age, it's not really advised.
08:26Oh, tell me.
08:27All right.
08:28I write obituaries.
08:29Four months ago, I was stabbed.
08:30While I was in the hospital, I met a nurse who does shift work here.
08:32Oh.
08:33But now you're not a nurse.
08:34How do you feel?
08:35How do I feel?
08:36Well, I do.
08:37So tell me.
08:38How do you feel?
08:39How do you feel?
08:40Well, I do.
08:41So tell me.
08:42How do you feel?
08:43Let's just say, I hope the food is better in heaven than this kip.
08:44Now we're talking.
08:45You're not a nurse.
08:46Why are you here?
08:47Do you want the truth?
08:48Because at your age, it's not really advised.
08:49Oh, tell me.
08:50All right.
08:51I write obituaries.
08:52Four months ago, I was stabbed.
08:55While I was in the hospital, I met a nurse who does shift work here.
08:58Ah.
08:59But Nadine.
09:00Hmm.
09:01We struck up a deal.
09:02I pay her and she points me in the direction of people checking out early.
09:07Yes.
09:08Since I've been coming, this place has been hit by strep, E. coli, and whatever it is
09:13you have.
09:14Yeah.
09:15That one.
09:16Oh, God.
09:17All this illness has been lucrative for us both.
09:22So lucrative and, well, distracting, that it's kept me away from my real passion.
09:29Which is?
09:31As I said, telling the truth to someone your age, not advised.
09:37Not going to make it to the morning, am I?
09:40Then I'm glad you're here.
09:42I have a lot to get off me chest.
09:45Starting with those little bastards in America.
09:48Ugh.
09:55It worked that hard.
10:08It worked that ass.
10:29Fuck off!
10:30Oi!
10:31Dickhead!
10:32Follow me, please.
10:40Big bum!
10:48Well?
10:49I did warn you. The charrettes, it's a chemical imbalance in my brain.
10:55I couldn't care less about your brain.
10:57But what did you care about?
10:59Is this smudge?
11:03A smudge which tells me you were asleep on the job.
11:07That's narcolepsy.
11:12Smash your fucking face in!
11:16Sorry. Sorry.
11:18Just start over.
11:19Every window?
11:20And this time, no smudges.
11:23Yes?
11:26Fuck!
11:32As I said, a plane tears across the sky.
11:45I look down and in my hands is a rocket launcher.
11:47I place it on my shoulder, pull the trigger and right before the plane explodes, I wake up and that's it.
11:53Dream over.
11:54Many would call it a nightmare.
11:56Dream.
11:57Nightmare.
11:58Explain it.
11:59The plane does symbolise something.
12:01Yeah.
12:02That I want to kill a bunch of people.
12:03Don't we get on a plane to get away from it all?
12:06Groundbreaking.
12:07So tell me, how do you feel about your father's death?
12:10I think you're avoiding dealing with it, Elvira.
12:13I wish he hadn't got drunk, fallen, banged his head on a rock and drowned. That's how I feel.
12:18I'm sorry, but I'm the kind of person who gets on with things.
12:21My mental health has never been better.
12:23So I'm not in a puddle of tears that doesn't make me a monster, does it?
12:28At the top of this session, you said you haven't slept right since he died.
12:32That you're down to two hours a night, which tells me, without a breakthrough, it'll only get worse.
12:39So let's focus on your father.
12:41Honestly, since the stabbing, we'd never been closer.
12:51We'd begun to open up to each other.
12:55Time had allowed it.
12:57No secrets would have remained between us.
13:02Just down to our last minute.
13:04Of our last session, I can't afford to do this again.
13:07I don't think that's wise.
13:08Look, I'm no therapist, but it's clear what my problem is.
13:10I need to get back to doing what I'm good at.
13:12Killing work.
13:14I know if I throw myself into it, I'll be sleeping like a baby in no time.
13:40Bad taste?
13:42Going as Andy Benson to a fancy dress party.
13:46I love it.
13:48Tell him, say you ripped that asshole's larynx open, that it was amazing and you want him to know all about it.
13:54Well, look at that.
13:56Just like a man who tried to kill you and you're all over me.
13:58Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
14:00Check my pocket.
14:02I doubt your pocket has what I'm looking for.
14:04I think you'll find it does.
14:06I found it in my other pocket this morning.
14:08I must have written it last week when I was drunk.
14:10Tell Elvira you love her.
14:12It took you long enough to say it.
14:14Haven't said it yet.
14:16Haven't said it yet?
14:28You first.
14:30Tell Elvira you love her.
14:37It took you long enough to say it.
14:40Haven't said it, Jack?
14:43You first.
14:57Oh, wow.
14:58Don't tell me.
14:59Is that a freak of a nurse?
15:00We've got a good thing going.
15:02This sounds like a good one.
15:04What about the party?
15:06I just finished my book.
15:09And I wanted to take you out.
15:10Get your mind off things.
15:11My mind is fine.
15:14You go.
15:15I hate parties.
15:18Elvira.
15:20I know I'm not your dad here, right?
15:22Just, no matter what it is,
15:25you can share anything with me.
15:29I know.
15:29Do that.
15:42You drop this.
15:45Would have been okay if you'd taken a few minutes to change.
15:48This one sounded interesting.
15:50It's much more interesting than the usual ones.
15:52Which means it's going to cost you.
15:55200.
15:56That's how much I get paid per old bit.
15:57I can't afford that.
15:58Then you should ask for a raise.
16:02I had plans tonight.
16:03Then you should have done them.
16:04Oh, you must be Elvira.
16:23And you must be lost.
16:24I'm Ruby.
16:25Ruby what?
16:26Just Ruby.
16:27Well, just Ruby.
16:29What are you doing at my desk?
16:30Today's my first day.
16:32I'm an intern.
16:33As in you don't get paid?
16:36As in money has never really motivated me when it comes to journalism.
16:40It's like what Daddy always says.
16:41He didn't build the county's third largest waste management company just to watch his little girls scrimp and save.
16:47This way I can do what I was put on this earth to do.
16:50Satisfy my urge to kill?
16:51So what are you up to?
16:52Correcting my work?
16:54Not correcting.
16:55Admiring.
16:57Your last paragraph where you let us know her grandkids were little shits without ever using the word little or shits.
17:03It's to die for.
17:05Maybe I'll let her live.
17:08You know we could use some new blood around here.
17:09Good to have you on board.
17:11Glad to be here.
17:17So, who hired you?
17:19The head honcho.
17:20The daughter.
17:21Seems the old woman put her in charge for a bit.
17:24But she did say things are going to change around here.
17:26Change?
17:26We're going to be asked to pitch stories.
17:29Ones that move the dial.
17:31I can't wait to see what you've got up your sleeve.
17:33I write obituaries, Ruby.
17:34The only thing up my sleeve is dead people.
17:41She's in tomorrow.
17:42So I suppose we'll see.
17:49We're late.
18:08Oh, sorry.
18:09Bomb seat now.
18:11Name's Vivian Birch.
18:20Never Viv.
18:21Among many others.
18:23Alma Birch, my mother, owns this newspaper.
18:25Which means soon, bone cancer, I'll own this newspaper.
18:30Question for me, hon.
18:32Yeah, tough titty.
18:33Because I don't do questions and answers.
18:34Okay.
18:35Here's everything you need to know about me.
18:38I believe in one thing.
18:42Competition.
18:43When I was four, my sister and I saw an ad for a doll.
18:47We told our mother.
18:49The next day, she drove us to the shop, and she made it clear that she would only buy one doll.
18:54We had to decide which one of us would get the toy.
18:56I knew there was only one way to resolve this.
19:01We devised challenges.
19:02From sack races to egg and spoon.
19:05The battles raged.
19:07And then, the deciding contest.
19:11A staring competition.
19:15Our eyes locked on each other.
19:17Time stood still.
19:20Tears formed in our eyes as the seconds stretched into an eternity.
19:25Until finally, it happened.
19:33A blink.
19:40Who got the doll?
19:42No one, sweetie.
19:44I didn't have a sister.
19:45It was an imaginary friend type thing, and believe me, it was a shitty way to find out.
19:50Okay, from now on, each of you is in a staring contest with me.
19:55Under Huey, the paper was reduced to a laughingstock.
19:58We should be all killer, no filler.
20:00Yes, sales are soft, content is crap, and people will have to go.
20:06Hey, hey, hey, TBDs.
20:07Before you end up on the street shaking a can, you'll all be given a chance to prove yourselves.
20:12I'll hear pitches.
20:14Kill me now.
20:15Oh, not to freak anyone out, but you've got a day.
20:19Right, who's going to make me a cup of tea?
20:21You said there was a good story in this one.
20:22Something different.
20:25I need something different.
20:27Hence the price hike.
20:29I'm on my way.
20:30Nothing beats shape in history.
20:58Especially when the history you shape does good.
21:02If me being made detective is a product of that, then history's been kind to me.
21:08Even if there's a chance you're wrong about Huey Burns?
21:12I don't deal in hypotheticals.
21:14Could you live with yourself?
21:15I don't know.
21:17Could you?
21:18A woman died.
21:21The right man is a waiting trial.
21:23No matter what those crackpots say.
21:26There are some people in town who think Huey didn't do it.
21:28There's some people in town who think the earth is flat.
21:30What do you say to them?
21:31Try walking off the edge of it.
21:33I mean Huey's fans.
21:36Time of night is this going out at?
21:37Streaming.
21:38Say what you like.
21:40Then I say go fuck.
21:42It doesn't matter what she says.
21:43You're shutting us down.
21:45What?
21:45Why?
21:46Don't ask me.
21:47Ask Maria Riedel's husband.
21:49Your pal.
21:50Daniel.
21:52Do not tell me who I can sue or cannot sue.
21:55You should have been all over this.
21:57My tone.
21:58You at your tone, Cathy.
22:00Hello?
22:01Hello?
22:04Where are you?
22:05Well, it turns out Daniel Buckley wrote a book of his own on the sly.
22:13It's called Say I Did Do It.
22:15But he didn't do it.
22:17It's a rush job.
22:18Ghost written.
22:19And they're paying him 75 grand.
22:22What's your agent say about the documentary?
22:24What documentary?
22:25It's done.
22:25We're done.
22:26My book is done.
22:26They're going to pulp it.
22:27So I got my hair done for nothing.
22:28She's worried about her hair.
22:30So someone who never paid for highlights.
22:32I am up to my neck in debt here.
22:34Right?
22:35And worse, I'm stuck in a job that's beneath me.
22:37Oh, yeah?
22:38Because I heard you had a backup plan.
22:40Big gig with one of the national papers.
22:43Was the job a con?
22:44Hmm.
22:45It came with strings attached.
22:48Everything does.
22:50My first article has to be an interview with Huey Burns.
22:56No interview.
22:57No job.
23:05Oh, look who's awake.
23:18The staff here named you James Doe.
23:21Felt you were more James than a John.
23:24Me?
23:25I'm only interested in your real name.
23:28You've had a stroke.
23:30Must have been living rough.
23:32Haven't spoken since you got here.
23:34Do you remember?
23:34Found in an old shack.
23:37No ID.
23:38Empty pockets.
23:40The guards had a look.
23:41But nothing.
23:44I'm kind of desperate for a story.
23:46And I can't write it unless I know who you are.
23:49So who are you?
23:50Why did you come to this town?
23:55What?
23:57Say that again.
24:07Who?
24:09Who should confess?
24:12Me?
24:15How do you know what I've done?
24:20I'm done for if I don't confess.
24:25Is that what you're saying?
24:26I'm done for.
24:29Done for.
24:33Done for.
24:34Done for.
24:41There is no story here.
24:44Unless.
24:48Maybe I can work with you.
24:50A man with no name.
24:51No voice.
24:52A mystery series.
24:55Congratulations.
24:57Whoever you are, you're about to be in the paper.
25:06For fuck's sake.
25:10Well, Huey.
25:11How was my old novel looking?
25:13Well, for a man who failed English in the leaving.
25:16You have a real talent.
25:17About that, your solicitor said he's going to get you out.
25:24It was heavily implied.
25:25Well, when you do get out, you'll be going back to your old job.
25:28100%.
25:29So this writing crack.
25:35I like it.
25:36I'm thinking when you're at the paper,
25:39I could work for you.
25:41Maybe the crime desk.
25:43I've looked after you well, Huey.
25:51All right.
25:53Crime desk it is.
25:55Be great to get out of this hole.
25:58Who are you telling?
25:59Oh, yeah.
26:01Oh, by the way.
26:03Phone call.
26:03Yeah?
26:12Look, I know you're not talking to the press
26:15and you probably hate my guts,
26:16but one hack to another, for old time's sake.
26:20How about an exclusive?
26:24I'm listening.
26:25Uh, so, what's, what's prison like?
26:31The toilets in the cells only flush every half hour.
26:34Means I have to sit there for 30 whole minutes
26:36smelling my own shit.
26:39But guess what?
26:40I would rather smell my own shit than talk to you.
26:44You can't even admit that you're wrong.
26:46The real killer is out there, and I know who they are.
26:49Then name them.
26:50I'll let you lie again.
26:52Tell me, can you live with yourself?
26:54Or are you drowning in guilt?
26:55I sleep perfectly well.
26:58Ah.
26:59I cannot wait for you to say that to my face.
27:02Look, no one's buying you a Richard Kimball bit, all right?
27:04You're going nowhere.
27:05You're a star witness, Mallory.
27:06She isn't even in the country.
27:09You know what, Emerson?
27:10All I hear in your voice is desperation.
27:13Now, I may be wrong, but...
27:15Your deal with Buckley went south.
27:22That's why you need me on record.
27:24I am your ticket out of town, yeah?
27:26Well, buckle up.
27:27You are going nowhere, and you want to know what the best part is?
27:30Tell me.
27:31The guy that I have lined up to replace you.
27:33He has a brain like a bin bag.
27:35Can barely read.
27:37But he'll make twice the journalist you are.
27:39Here you go, Huey.
28:16What's the cheapest thing this place has got with booze in it?
28:27Let me think.
28:29Stag left a bottle of aftershave in the Jacks.
28:31Whatever he wants.
28:34Well, in honour of an old friend, double rum and coke.
28:39On the way.
28:43Can't a counsellor buy a constituent a drink?
28:47What's the vote you're after?
28:49A month and a bit of a tick wouldn't go astray.
28:51Well, surely my votes work more than a drink.
28:53Nay, miss.
28:55The trains, counsellor, they're always late.
28:58You were going somewhere.
29:00Well...
29:00Well, if the town votes me back in,
29:03I'll make sure getting you there on time is a priority.
29:07Do you vote, Patsy?
29:09I don't even have a birth cert.
29:16I was in school with that lad.
29:18Know what they call him, Chalky?
29:20Because he ate the teacher's chalk.
29:23Now look at him.
29:25Respected.
29:26Buying for the house.
29:27Chalky's on 50k a year.
29:29Along with an annual trip to Finland.
29:3250 grand.
29:33For a whole nothing.
29:34You know what, Patsy?
29:37You should run.
29:40Do you think so?
29:41Yeah.
29:42The last time I checked, you were a dab handed doing fuck all.
29:45I can't go on like this.
29:54It's clear I need to kill.
29:57Question is...
29:59Who?
30:05Okay, jawline.
30:06It's pitchy time.
30:06You're just the tip type bullshit won't work on me.
30:16I read a straight, but I'm bi.
30:18And any dudes I do do are Spanish.
30:20So if you think you're going to come in here and rearrange my guts,
30:23you can jog on.
30:24Me pausing is not an open invitation to blather.
30:27Now, little birdie told me,
30:29you've been coasting along for the last few months
30:31until the next big job comes knocking.
30:33Yeah, I'm going nowhere.
30:35Well, I hate to burst your bubble.
30:36Well, that depends on me.
30:38Why shouldn't I fire you?
30:47Have you read today's paper?
30:48Do I look like a fucking geek?
30:50Well, you should.
30:54The last minute addition to the line-up of candidates
30:56running in the local election
30:57is Kill Raven's Patsy Ruan, 52.
31:01When asked what pushed him to run,
31:02he answered it was a young journalist from your paper.
31:05Well, he told me I bought the time and temperament
31:08to serve the people of this town.
31:10Been working on him for weeks.
31:11To get him to run?
31:12He's one of the eight candidates who've paid their deposits.
31:15I'm going to ruin the other seven and help him win.
31:18Is that ethical?
31:19OK, but seriously, what's in it for the paper?
31:27Patsy will be the worst possible thing to happen to this town
31:29and the best thing to happen to this paper.
31:32Think about it.
31:33Five years filled with that fool's antics,
31:35all that juicy material.
31:38He'll be a godsend.
31:39Yeah, OK.
31:40I love it.
31:42But what happens if you don't get him elected?
31:44Oh, I know.
31:46You'll lose your job.
31:48Bit harsh.
31:49Fine.
31:50Let's make it interesting.
31:51Fail to get him elected,
31:53your next paying gig will either be Onlyfans or Binman.
31:56But if you move to the politics desk
31:58and get that buffoon in,
32:00I'll make you editor.
32:05I'm not staying long.
32:06This isn't my bag.
32:07I am?
32:08What is your bag?
32:09Hot Twins.
32:10Cool.
32:13Well, OK.
32:14I'm in.
32:15Deal.
32:16On what condition?
32:18Them.
32:19Out there.
32:20It's fine if they know what you're up to.
32:22They can't know about the editor's job.
32:23Why not?
32:25You tell me.
32:27Because you want them all to think they've got a shot at it.
32:29Bingo.
32:30Well, don't you worry.
32:32I won't say a word.
32:32And finally,
32:39for the title I'm thinking,
32:41Cabbage Couture.
32:43God.
32:44Who knew farming and fashion would click like that?
32:46Bravo, Kate!
32:49Now,
32:50an announcement.
32:51Emerson is moving to the political desk
32:53to cover the election for the next seven weeks.
32:55So he gets a pass on the pitching.
32:57OK.
32:58And then there were two.
32:59You first.
33:03Are you sure?
33:03I insist.
33:04Will one of you get on with it?
33:08It's a series.
33:09Or a P45.
33:10There's this old man.
33:11He was in the nursing home.
33:12Was?
33:13Died late last night.
33:14Riveting.
33:15Only.
33:17No one knows who he is.
33:19They've named him James Doe.
33:20My James Doe.
33:22No ID.
33:23No one knows why he came to the town.
33:25So I'm thinking over the next several weeks,
33:26I'd chase down his real identity,
33:28play detective and write about it.
33:29And when I do find out who he is...
33:31You'll pop out his obit.
33:33This is far more important
33:34than some soon forgotten obituary.
33:36The crime desk is free
33:37and if you ask me,
33:38this could be a crime.
33:39I've already got leads.
33:41You've interviewed him?
33:42Doesn't make much sense.
33:44But I got his last words on paper.
33:47Hmm.
33:47For every second you spoke,
33:51I was never bored.
33:53Now I see why you've got
33:54that crazy big following of twinks
33:55on TikTok.
33:56Ruby,
33:57go knock it out of the park.
34:00You.
34:01You confound me.
34:03I'm interested.
34:04Talk.
34:05It's, um...
34:07Well, it's, um...
34:09It's stolen.
34:11Right in front of you.
34:12Not ready yet.
34:13Not what I want to hear.
34:14I need more time.
34:16Her dad did just die.
34:18He died over a month ago.
34:19I will not use that as an excuse.
34:21Oh, thank Christ for that.
34:22Right, get your ass in gear, yeah?
34:24By deadline,
34:25I want to see a story
34:25I can't say no to
34:26or your resignation letter.
34:29Thanks, folks.
34:35Never shit on your own doorstep.
34:37I work with Ruby.
34:38I can't kill her.
34:40Oh, God, I want to.
34:41And what did that Ed Mumbler
34:42tell her in the nursing home?
34:43I could be in danger.
34:44It's a smart choice.
34:46No, it's too close.
34:47I can't.
34:47She deserves it.
34:48If you're reckless, Elvira,
34:49I can't.
34:50It's too...
34:50Oh, God, I want her.
34:53That Vivian,
34:54she is all business.
34:55You know, we needed
34:55someone like her around here.
34:57This office needs a shake-up.
34:59So, what kind of person
35:00is Elvira?
35:02The kind that should have
35:03been hooked up
35:04to jump leads years ago.
35:05And her and Emerson.
35:06Why?
35:07You're not going after him,
35:08are you?
35:09Gross.
35:10He's ancient.
35:11I just want to make sure
35:13she's got a shoulder to cry on
35:14when she gets the boot.
35:16Do you think she will?
35:17I was brought here
35:18to make you feel expendable.
35:20But, after reading her work,
35:22which is super shitty,
35:24I've decided to take her job.
35:26And crime.
35:28Oh.
35:30What?
35:31Well, I mean,
35:32she did just lose her dad
35:33and it was such an awful death.
35:35Please.
35:36I heard the man died happy.
35:39We're down to the face
35:40full of pussy.
35:47I'm surprised.
36:01Hey, Ruby.
36:02I'm sorry to bother you,
36:03but I'm the union rep.
36:05Oh, I don't believe in unions.
36:07It's a...
36:08communism for scanners.
36:11No, due's due.
36:12I just need you to fill out
36:13some forms,
36:14personal details,
36:15name and address and that.
36:23Your form.
36:24Come on, Ruby.
36:26See you in the morning.
36:32See ya.
36:33See you in the morning.
37:03Time to grieve.
37:13One clown down,
37:29six to go.
37:30I never launched a political campaign,
37:36so I'll keep this simple.
37:39Like yourself.
37:41Listen,
37:42a vote for Tom Quigley
37:43means a vote for you.
37:45Seriously, though,
37:47transport will be a key issue.
37:49Give me your number one
37:50and every train
37:51that leaves town
37:53will run on time.
37:54I can promise you that.
37:55Sounds like he wants people
37:57to leave town.
37:58Sounds like you want people
37:59to leave Kilraven.
38:01Yeah.
38:01Not like that at all.
38:03Listen.
38:05What I want...
38:06Listen.
38:07Listen.
38:08Go on.
38:09What do you want?
38:10What I want...
38:12What I want...
38:13Is to buy everyone here a drink.
38:16Back at the gold rush.
38:20Abuse yourselves.
38:22There's one for you as well, father.
38:24Open bear.
38:26Give it she's paying for it.
38:27Give me your number one.
38:29He's your opponent.
38:30It would not right, Patsy.
38:32It's free drink,
38:33which is my favourite kind of drink.
38:34Good luck.
38:51First things first.
38:53Let's see where just Ruby lives.
38:56Well, daddy certainly provides.
39:04Let's see where she lives.
39:26Where are you after?
39:36Where are you after?
39:56Wine and a bath.
39:59Basic bitch.
40:16Like clockwork.
40:24Same bath time every night.
40:26I can work with this.
40:52And I can work with that, too.
40:56Ruby's heart won't know what hit it.
41:17I can work with that.
41:23Okay.
41:25I can work with that.
41:27Bye.
41:27Bye.
41:28Bye.
41:29Bye.
41:30Bye.
41:32Bye.
41:33Bye.
41:35Bye.
41:44Bye.
41:45Bye.
41:46Showtime.
42:16This isn't the routine.
42:28What have you heard?
42:42What the hell?
42:46The remote room.
42:52The remote room.
43:04The remote room.
43:08You need to get out of there.
43:19Run. Move. Go! Move, I said now!
43:43No. No, no, no, no, no. No, start, you bastard!
43:49We're sorry. You have reached a number that has been disconnected or no longer is in service.
44:19I'm sweeping for Prince now. Get it down to the lab. See what we can go up with.
44:34Hang on. Is that Elvira Clancy's car?
44:41Hmm.
44:43I'm about to become the chief suspect in a murder case.
44:47The body was discovered...
44:48And I didn't even do this one.
44:50You're taking this hard?
44:52She'd her whole life in front of her.
44:56OK. I've got to take control of this story.
45:05What?
45:06I don't know whether to fire you or fuck you.
45:15Well, hear me out first. I want Ruby's murder. The story.
45:20What? Doesn't that mean...
45:21Taking over the crime desk while Emerson's on politics.
45:24Hmm. Definitely swinging towards fucking you.
45:27Ruby and me...
45:28We'd become close.
45:29So it's personal.
45:30And personal stories have always connected us to our readers.
45:3460 grand a year. Maybe mileage.
45:37For taking over crime?
45:38For taking over as editor.
45:39You want me to run the paper?
45:40But...
45:41You only get the job if you solve Ruby's murder before the cops do.
45:44Don't.
45:45You're fired.
45:46Plus, you can't tell us all about this.
45:47Do.
45:48Also fired.
46:04Can I still write obituaries?
