01:46I was wondering where that was.
01:48I stole it from your drug drawer, and I was saving it for a very special occasion, but
01:52I thought today, I don't know, St. Patrick's Day, Boston, it qualifies.
02:01Organic Panic psychedelic chocolate will melt your mind.
02:06One, square, relaxation, two, disinhibition, three, introspection, four, revelation.
02:16I don't know, I feel like we should be trying for revelation.
02:20Have you ever done it before, psilocybin?
02:25Oh, a couple of times.
02:27I don't know, I feel like it's good for opening the mind a little bit, and
02:31uh, loosening up some boundaries.
02:36Come on, we can be psychonauts together.
02:40We'll launch into the deep space of our brain and see what we find.
02:45Um, I usually microdose.
02:47Yeah, but I mean, if we're going to do it, we should really do it, right?
02:53Go on.
02:54Don't you want to revelate with me?
02:57That's not a word.
03:01Fuck it.
03:02Fine.
03:05Cheers.
03:06Cheers.
03:08Cheers.
03:16Where are you, Jane Miller?
03:20Why don't you ask Elliot Brerhain?
03:22He was her landlord.
03:24Oh, because Elliot Brerhain isn't speaking to the police.
03:29Hey, maybe I could be like a middleman.
03:31You know, just smooth things over.
03:33We'll call you if we need you.
03:35Get him out of here.
03:36See you later, man.
03:37Okay.
03:37All right.
03:38All right, I got you.
03:39But look, if you need anything, you know where to find him?
03:41Yes, sir, we do.
03:44You know, he's right.
03:45We would be further ahead if we hadn't lost Brerhain as a witness.
03:47We don't need him to tell us that she didn't move out.
03:50All her shit's still here.
03:52What we need to do, maybe we should call CSR.
03:55I'm going to get the text in here before we romp and tromp all over the place.
03:58This could be a secondary scene.
04:00Could be primary.
04:02He could have killed her here, brought her back to his place to melt her down.
04:07What?
04:08That theory has some issues.
04:12You have issues.
04:17Oh, yeah.
04:33You're on the other side.
04:35I'm sorry.
04:36Yeah.
04:45I'm sorry.
04:47I'miat necessarily.
04:57I didn't know that you were microdosing every day.
05:00I didn't say every day.
05:01No, I didn't say every day.
05:02I just said some days.
05:04My therapist gave it to me for my anxiety.
05:07Yeah, it just helps me.
05:08It helps me focus on stuff.
05:09Makes sense.
05:10I'm going to be honest.
05:11I have to tell you something.
05:12I think I feel a revelation coming on.
05:14What do you have to ruby?
05:19Yeah, it's good.
05:20I've seen it, though.
05:21I've seen it before.
05:21Yeah, but they haven't.
05:23It's going to spread the wealth.
05:45It's going to spread the wealth.
05:53It's going to spread the wealth.
06:03It's going to spread the wealth to the world.
06:14Okay.
06:18No, I'm sorry.
06:19It's going to spread the wealth.
06:26It's going to spread the wealth.
06:33Okay.
06:46Oh my god, you're so pretty!
06:58Everybody wants to be so bad up now.
07:01Yeah, I'm a very lucky man.
07:02Yeah, I know. They're all really jealous.
07:14I made so many friends!
07:24Morning.
07:25You ready?
07:26It starts soon, but I gotta stop and get those eye drops.
07:29Who's driving?
07:30Liz is picking us up.
07:34What if your dad is there with what's-her-face?
07:38He hasn't been there in years.
07:39Why do you show up now?
07:40Just to piss me off?
07:43Look, fuck him, okay?
07:45We don't care.
07:48Well, alright, I'm gonna change.
07:50This skirt looks cheap, and it wasn't.
07:53You look fine, Ma.
07:56I love you.
07:56I love you.
08:04Holy fucking shit.
08:10Look at this, what ugly thing.
08:13Looks like a lady.
08:16Carl, come in here.
08:17I'm just getting started out here.
08:19I'm just getting started out here.
08:19No, I mean it. You really want to see this.
08:21Okay, I will.
08:31Can I help you?
08:34Look who's not dead.
08:37I'm a freelance reporter.
08:39I'm working on a story about Oliver St. Ledger
08:42and the context of his extended family.
08:44Yeah, so what was the angle here?
08:45Kill a rich kid?
08:46Pays his way out of justice?
08:48Where is he now?
08:49Sort of things?
08:49Something like that, yes.
08:51In 16 years, Oliver's never spoken to the press.
08:54It's giving him a chance to speak for himself.
08:56Yeah.
08:57Now, I saw your car in the garage,
08:59so I'm gonna assume that interview didn't go too well.
09:03He's a psychopath.
09:06Still waiting for a windshield, so...
09:08No, I never got my interview.
09:09Why did you think that the best way to get the interview
09:12was to drop off an anonymous letter?
09:15I dropped two anonymous letters, actually.
09:18Oh, even better.
09:19There was no way he'd say yes to an interview,
09:21but if he felt like the grace period of his anonymity
09:24was coming to an end,
09:25he might be more susceptible to my suggestion
09:28that he control the narrative himself.
09:29See, I call that poking the bear.
09:32Pretty unorthodox.
09:33Did you go to journalism school, Ms. Miller?
09:35I don't know which one of you I find more offensive.
09:37Yes.
09:38Yes, I got my masters at BU.
09:40Is that where you learned to employ paranoia
09:42as a professional strategy?
09:43It's not paranoia.
09:44It's allowing the subject to speak their truth.
09:46And how'd that work out for you and that fiat?
09:48Better my windshield than my face.
09:50Oh yeah, but you do have a point.
09:52You ever meet his girlfriend?
09:53Yeah, a couple times.
09:56Her name was Ciara.
09:59Ciara...
09:59I don't know.
10:00She didn't say.
10:02She's very pretty.
10:05With dark hair.
10:07With strangest eyes.
10:08It's like she sees through you.
10:10Which is ironic,
10:11considering their whole relationship was a lie.
10:15She's a con artist.
10:18Why would she say that?
10:19She was after him for his money.
10:22I don't blame her.
10:23Why else would you date him?
10:24I don't know.
10:25Maybe she...
10:27found him attractive.
10:30Intelligent, funny, good sex.
10:32I don't know why people date each other.
10:33Regardless.
10:35She knew who he was and she stayed with him.
10:39But he didn't know she knew.
10:42It's like they were living in this warped, double lie.
10:47A fugitive.
10:49A con artist.
10:51Obsessed with each other.
10:54I'm not sure which one of them was more demented.
10:58Nah.
10:59Gotta take this.
11:01Hold that thought, please.
11:05Kyle.
11:06See the news?
11:07Yeah, I'm sitting at home on my ass watching TV like you told me to.
11:10They're really out to get us today.
11:12I don't want to waste your time, but Linus Finch?
11:15Get a chance to talk to Lee?
11:17Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:18She explained it all to me.
11:20You remember that case a couple months back?
11:23Albanian kid.
11:2550-gallon drum and the shitty alibi.
11:27I remember the shitty alibi.
11:29Well, it turns out Finch was a witness.
11:33He agreed to talk, but he didn't want to come in, so...
11:36I should've meet him at the zoo.
11:39That's all you got from her?
11:40What else you want?
11:42It's thought to be a bitter story.
11:44But if that's it, I'll take it.
11:45By the way, it's not to make you happy.
11:48That claptrap who got her hands on your weapon has 36 unpaid parking tickets and skipped jury duty.
11:53So we put out a warrant.
12:00Did I lose you?
12:02Uh, no. Sorry, Joey.
12:05Still here.
12:08Do you think there's a world where Oliver found out?
12:11Ciara knew his secret?
12:13And he killed her for it?
12:15Yeah.
12:16I do.
12:17He's clearly invested in his lies.
12:20And you know about his boss's wife.
12:25Um...
12:26Alison Meadows. I know she died a few weeks ago.
12:28The Emmy ruled it an accident.
12:30It wasn't an accident.
12:32Pretty sure he killed her too.
12:43Is this where we're going?
12:45Oh, yeah. It could be.
12:46Uh, you want a drink? I can just drink.
12:49I don't know if, like, a crowded bar full of fucking leprechauns is where I want to trip my balls
12:54off.
12:54Do you know what I mean?
12:55Yeah.
12:56You don't feel it yet?
12:57No. Yeah, I am feeling it.
12:59Uh, okay, so what else is fun?
13:01We could, uh, stand on the edge of the Grand Canyon, maybe?
13:04Or we could look at each other in the mirror?
13:07Or we could stare directly into the sun?
13:10I feel like these are bad ideas.
13:13Hey!
13:14Who's here?
13:17Hey, Elliot!
13:19What, am I the last thing you expected to see here, huh?
13:22Uh, yeah. No, uh, sorry, no.
13:25Uh, this is, uh, Ciara.
13:26You know Ciara.
13:27Hi, Elliot.
13:28I love your little hat.
13:29Oh, thank you.
13:31Hey, you want to grab a drink?
13:32No, no, no, no.
13:34I think, I think it's too crowded for me.
13:35Oh, no, no. Come on, come on. Just one.
13:36You've got a table. Huh?
13:38It'll be wallflowers later.
13:41I'm so sorry.
13:48I think it's starting to kick in a little bit too hard.
13:50Yeah, me too.
13:51It makes you feel any better.
13:52I think your boss is definitely out of you.
13:54Hey, honey. Look who I ran into.
13:59Hi.
14:01Hi, Allison. Hi.
14:03This is our friend, Jane.
14:04And, uh, this is Ciara.
14:08Hi.
14:09It's so nice to meet you.
14:10You too.
14:12Elliot told me so much about you.
14:14Ciara, did you say?
14:16Yeah, exactly.
14:18You look familiar.
14:19That's so funny because I was just about to say that you look familiar.
14:22I think I've seen you where I'm staying.
14:25At the crossings.
14:27You're staying at the crossings?
14:29Yeah, just temporarily. I'm here for work and Elliot was kind enough to let me squat in one of the
14:33units he owns.
14:35Oliver's in the other one.
14:37So, uh, how do you guys all know each other?
14:40We met after this big forgery scandal at the museum a few years ago.
14:45She saved our acquisition staff from buying a fake Basquiat.
14:49Ah.
14:51That's good.
14:52So you, uh, you work at the museum?
14:55She's a reporter.
14:59Hey, uh, Ollie, uh, go get us another picture, would you?
15:03Elliot, honey, you're not the boss here. Go help him.
15:07No, that's okay, that's okay. I think, uh, I think we're gonna go, right?
15:10Okay, just have one drink.
15:14Uh, why, will you just grab me whatever you think?
15:17Yeah.
15:30Are you okay?
15:33Yeah.
15:34Why do you ask?
15:36Your boyfriend isn't who you think he is.
15:38Oliver Kennedy isn't his real name.
15:40He's dangerous.
15:41And I know this isn't the time or place to talk about it, but...
15:48He killed someone.
15:51I know.
15:54What?
15:56How can you be with him? I don't understand.
15:59No one's asking you to.
16:06All I was told was Jane needed a place to stay.
16:09She's, uh, researching a story.
16:11The story's me.
16:12Elliot, I'm the fucking story.
16:14Come on.
16:14No, she's stalking me?
16:16In my home? On the street? At the gym?
16:23Right now she's talking to Ciara and she's probably fucking talking about me.
16:27Fuck.
16:32Ollie, if you want to build a real relationship, you're gonna have to tell her sometime.
16:38Yeah, well, I did that last time and it didn't go so well.
16:43When Allison told me that he was here in Boston working for Elliot, I came to tell the story about
16:47the murder he committed and they're against it.
16:49And the massive cover-up. His family is just as fucked up as he is.
16:55He's been evading responsibility for years. I'm trying to give him the chance to change that by telling his story
17:01in his own words, but he's not interested.
17:06Maybe you could tell him to talk to me.
17:09Are you trying to get her killed?
17:11You know, you're not the first girl to get caught up in this.
17:14I had a serious girlfriend in London, Lucy Hargrove.
17:18We dated for almost a year.
17:20I found her in Wales, tried to get her to talk.
17:23She completely shut me down.
17:25Yeah, cause she's terrified.
17:27Oliver told Elliot he was planning to propose, but he wanted her to know the truth.
17:32So, he told her everything.
17:35And she freaked out.
17:37She ran for her life.
17:39He was devastated, but...
17:41What did he expect?
17:43He told her everything.
17:45About the murder.
17:46He killed his classmate at Bridgefield Prep.
17:51Paul Sparling.
17:53Why?
17:54What did he tell you?
17:57Mm-mm.
18:08Stop looking over there.
18:10You look like you're losing now.
18:18Come on.
18:18Listen to me.
18:20Really.
18:21I didn't know what was happening here.
18:23And I know Allison has treated you unfairly in the past, but I agree this costs a lot.
18:29I will talk to Jane.
18:31Myself.
18:32Tell her to back off.
18:34And if she doesn't like it, she can leave.
18:38You know, the reason I asked you to come here to Boston,
18:42is because I promised your father, before he died,
18:46that I'd always keep an eye on them.
18:48Protect you.
18:50So when I tell you, I got your back, I mean it.
18:59I just want you to be happy.
19:05I'm sorry.
19:07It's okay.
19:08It's okay.
19:09It's all right.
19:10Elliot.
19:28What the fuck is this?
19:29What's it look like?
19:31A hundred grand.
19:32Can't be right, Mick.
19:33But it is.
19:34I promise.
19:35This is insane.
19:36The Narrow River Memorial Fund?
19:39You really think that St. Ledger's is just, you know what, consider it a contribution or something?
19:43This is like a drop in the bucket to him, Shyla.
19:45He has so much money, he's not gonna care.
19:47He's not even gonna notice.
19:47He's been in hiding for so long.
19:50He goes by Oliver Kennedy now, and he has no life.
19:53What are you talking about?
19:54How do you even know that?
19:57Because I know him now.
19:59What do you mean, know him?
20:02Because I met him.
20:03Because I know him now, okay?
20:06And by the way, he's not what you think.
20:09He's exactly what I think he is.
20:15I'm gonna puke.
20:16Mom's gonna die.
20:17Don't tell mom, dude.
20:19I'm gonna tell mom.
20:20Because I'm the one who got this money.
20:21You stole it.
20:23No.
20:24I earned it.
20:25Oh yeah?
20:25By doing what, Meg?
20:27Are you fucking a killer?
20:29Yeah.
20:30I am.
20:31And I'm also living in the city.
20:33And I'm day drinking with people who went to college.
20:36Instead of working my ass off at a fucking Denny's.
20:39Or whatever it is you're doing now.
20:40I'm on my way to fucking church to pray that you go to hell.
20:59I should've known.
21:01The money.
21:04That don't make so much sense.
21:14I want you to get what you want.
21:17But I want me to get what I want to.
21:20I need a reputable source.
21:22On the record.
21:24Oliver himself would've been my preference.
21:27And that's not going to happen.
21:29But I'm more than willing to settle for you.
21:33I fell in love.
21:35With a narrow river killer.
21:37I had no idea who he was and when I found out, it was too late.
21:43You'll be famous.
21:45First my story.
21:46Then the book.
21:48The podcast.
21:49Then the movie.
21:51Everyone will love you.
21:55She's so beautiful.
21:57She's so strong.
21:59For sharing her drama.
22:01This is an opportunity for you to reinvent your life.
22:04On your own terms.
22:06It's the best one you're ever going to get.
22:09But if that doesn't appeal to you, I will call the police.
22:13And you will go to prison for embezzling from the richest, most psychotic family in America.
22:23You're bad at your job.
22:27Okay.
22:29But your skin is nice.
22:33My turn.
22:38Off the record.
22:41I fell in love with the narrow river killer.
22:46But he didn't tell me anything.
22:49Because I knew so much already.
22:52I knew every city.
22:54I knew every alias.
22:55I knew his social security number.
22:58I knew his mother's maiden name.
22:59And today, he's going to tell me what happened that day that Paul Sparling died.
23:08And what he does, I promise, I am never going to tell you.
23:17Where are you?
23:20Where are you?
23:21Where are you?
23:37Where are you?
23:39Hey, how are you?
23:40It's time to call it.

28:00I'm going to tell CSR.
28:04You're right.
28:05People do like morbid stories.
28:06Yeah, I know.
28:07And it's like, it's my job,
28:08but I do not like that shit.
28:09Oh, yeah?
28:10Well, we can't all be porn addicts like you.
28:13Have you ever taken a picture of your titties
28:14and sent them to somebody?
28:16Once.
28:18On a...
28:19on a Xerox machine.
28:21This was before or after 9-11?
28:24On the day of.
28:25That's how I remember it.
28:32Hey, um...
28:34What did you say to Russo?
28:36Oh, I just told her that Linus Finch
28:38was one of our witnesses
28:39on that Albanian case last year.
28:42Okay.
28:46Thanks, I really didn't...
28:51Right?
28:53God, I forgot all about the Albanian.
28:55That was a blip.
28:56Yeah.
28:57Trust me, I don't remember.
29:00Does it involve a copier?
29:03I don't want to know.
29:04Hmm?
29:10The ground is moving.
29:11Can you feel it?
29:12Can you feel it?
29:13Don't look at the ground.
29:14Why don't you look at me?
29:15I can't...
29:16I can't...
29:16I can't look at you.
29:18I can't talk to you.
29:18I can't tell you.
29:20Yes, you can.
29:20Yes, you can.
29:21You know why?
29:22Because...
29:22We need to get past this, okay?
29:24So...
29:25If...
29:25If you don't want to go, maybe I go.
29:27I can go first.
29:28No, no.
29:28I don't want...
29:29I don't want...
29:29Because if you say something...
29:31I don't...
29:32Because...
29:32If I tell you...
29:33If I tell you...
29:36Then...
29:37Then what?
29:38What'll happen if you tell me?
29:39What'll happen?
29:40Hey.
29:41You'll hate me.
29:42I'm not gonna hate you.
29:42You're gonna hate me.
29:43Oliver.
29:44Oliver.
29:44I'm not gonna hate you.
29:46I'm not gonna hate you.
29:50Yes, you will.
29:52You'll hate me and then you will leave.
29:54And I...
29:54I don't want that.
29:55And I...
29:56Whatever you have to say to me, don't say to me.
29:58Just...
29:58Just don't say it.
29:59And then we can just keep it...
30:00The same...
30:02As it is.
30:02I can't...
30:15Okay.
30:16Come here.
30:17Come here.
30:18Hey.
30:20Look at me.
30:21Okay?
30:22Breathe.
30:23Let's breathe, okay?
30:30Okay.
30:31It's okay.
30:32Stay with me.
30:38Okay.
30:40It's okay.
30:41Stay with me.
30:55It's okay.
30:58Can you hear me?
31:16My name is not Ciara.
31:19My name is Megan.
31:22And we did not meet on accident.
31:29I came here...
31:31To find you.
31:32On purpose.
31:34To take what you owe me.
31:38And my family.
31:42Because I thought I knew what happened in that river.
31:45But I don't know.
31:46Maybe I don't.
31:49And...
31:50I grew up believing that you were a monster and...
31:54Now I don't know that either.
31:55Maybe you're not.
31:56I...
31:57I don't know.
31:58I can't tell.
32:05What if you could've...
32:08If you could've just been honest with me.
32:12If we could've...
32:15Talked about it.
32:16And...
32:18I really...
32:20I really...
32:20I really think...
32:21That I...
32:22Would've found a way to understand you.
32:25I really do.
32:29Somewhere...
32:31This became really real for me.
32:34This is real for me.
32:43And I...
32:44I think I wanted to leave.
32:47I think...
32:48I wanted us...
32:50I wanted us...
32:52To work.
32:54Somehow.
32:55I don't know.
32:57I thought we could work.
33:00But now...
33:01I see...
33:02I know...
33:03We can't.
33:04I know we can't.
33:09And that's really sad.
33:17But...
33:19Because...
33:23I...
33:24I really...
33:27Could've loved you.
33:34I really wanted to love you.
33:48I really wanted to love you.
33:58No.
34:01No...
34:02No...
34:03No...
34:04No.
34:08I can tell you that it shouldn't have been active to them...
34:11That's why I always wanted you access to.
34:13This time.
34:13Please stay back.
34:17Jesus Christ.
34:19Kevin...
34:19Becoming codependent.
34:20To the...
34:21Allegious suspect?
34:22We just going for a ride.
34:24FYI, this asshole runs illegal poker out of an empty apartment on the-
34:28You're exercising, you're right, Tom.
34:29He watches women in the elevator on surveillance.
34:32Nobody care about that shit.
34:33On a scale of one to where, you got them beat by nine.
34:35Here, Officer Curry, you're going to take it downtown.
34:39Thanks for your cooperation.
34:42Big man.
34:43If you guys, you don't need anything else, you know where to find out.
34:45I guess. Oh, up my ass.
34:47Kevin, it's been a long day, bro.
34:50Please, go home.
34:51I appreciate it. See you there.
34:54What was that?
34:55Medical Examiner, autopsy begins in 90 minutes.
34:58We're almost headed.
34:59We've got to make sure CSRs get to go and file charges.
35:02All right, well, I'll file.
35:04You reach out to the techs, you know.
35:06Have somebody drop you off at the ME in 40 minutes?
35:08You have the key.
35:10You have the key.
35:50Hey, Allison.
35:51What do you want?
35:52Is Ciara in there?
35:53No idea.
35:55Maybe.
35:55She ran for her life.
35:57That's what she should do.
35:59Wait, why?
35:59Why?
35:59Wait, why should she do that?
36:00What the fuck?
36:01Why do you hate me?
36:03Allison, what have I ever done to you?
36:07You are a parasite on my husband.
36:10Your father was a user, too.
36:13And I fucking hated him.
36:15And you are exactly fucking like him.
36:25That's what this is about, huh?
36:29Elliot loved my father.
36:32So you're jealous?
36:33Of a dead man?
36:34Yeah, you're jealous of him, and you're jealous of me.
36:43I wish I were an isolated, lonely millennial living under a fake name, because I'm so ashamed of who I
36:53really am.
36:55That sounds awesome.
36:57I can't wait until the whole world knows everything about you.
37:05And you have nowhere left to hide.
37:08Yeah, but even if that does happen, Elliot will never love you the way that he loved my father.
37:15The way he loves me.
37:22In case you didn't know, your girlfriend is a liar, too.
37:29You deserve each other.
37:46You deserve to be broke.
37:47You deserve to be quiet.
42:22I'll tell you the truth.
