you'll be able to have access

to our company files

downstairs on the computer.

Got it?

[MONITOR BEEPING]

Jesus Christ.

He made me do it.

He made me do it.

He made me do it.

He made me do it.

[BEEPING CONTINUES]

[RAPID BEEPING]

Nurse!

[RAPID BEEPING CONTINUES]

He's dreaming.

He must be having a nightmare.

[PANTING]

What the f***!

Goddamn it!

The old man

is trying to kill me,

and the woman, she had me.

This is an unfortunate

side effect of our business.

Miranda came in,

and they disappeared.

Thank God.

You must thank him.

You say all this bullshit,

I don't even know

what the f*** that means.

I'm not doing this anymore.

You need to take more pride

in your work, Noah.

F*** you!

Forget remorse,

guilt,

all that religious swill.

It's useless here.

It's too late.

I found that there are two lies

that maximize human suffering.

You'll need to understand this.

My job is to ensure

that everyone believes

these lies are true.

On the one hand,

I help people believe

that this world

is a hopeless place.

Focusing only

on their tragedies,

their lives become

a prison of guilt and shame.

And then there are those

like you,

with your intellect

and manipulations.

You take what you

want from others.

You believe the lie that

you're entitled and invincible.

I'm sorry.

I was wrong.

Please. I'm sorry

Don't apologize!

You work hard

to get what you want.

You work hard

to get what you want,

and this is the only way

you'll be allowed to keep it.

Stop pretending you have

any morality or conscience.

Now you know the truth.

And the truth

will set you free.

Is that really

your Captain's card

you're gonna give to Bickman?

This manifest says the steel

is of Philippine origin.

You're not gonna answer

my question, are you?

No.

But the cost report references

a Taiwanese manufacturer.

- Type A National Steelworks?

- Yeah.

Do think that means something?

Do you think they were using

cheap Philippine steel

and trying to cover up

the evidence?

Oh.

Philippine National's

a subsidiary...

Of Type A Steel.

And somebody approved

as a supplier.

It was a lie.

Kind of like police work, huh?

Just a little less fuzzy

with you around.

It's still a dead end.

No. No, it's not.

They f*** up somewhere.

They always f*** up somewhere,

and we're gonna find it.

Hey, Sarah.

Yeah?

Thanks.

For what?

For being here.

Means a lot to me.

You're welcome.

So what's your story?

What do you mean?

Well...

there's gotta be a reason

why someone like you would be

attracted to someone so damaged.

Are you asking me this

'cause I'm easy?

Did your dad leave you

when you were a little girl?

You're an ass.

Sh*t.

F***. Uh...

I'm sorry. Don't go.

If I wanted to be insulted,

I would've worked the graveyard

shift at the precinct tonight.

Yeah, my dad did leave

when I was five,

and my mom had to support us

all on her own.

She had to work two jobs just

to put enough food on the table,

and I retaliated

by treating her like sh*t,

and then she died.

That's f***ed up.

Yeah, well,

I dealt with it,

and I moved on.

It's what you should be doing.

You see me?

Do I know you?

I'm Noah.

- I'm...

- I don't wanna know your name.

What do you want?

I'm here to kill you.

No! No, please, no!

Help me, someone!

Please don't! Please!

It's you or me.

And I choose me.

- Hey.

- Hmm?

You think it's something?

I do.

It has the same titles

as one of these.

Look.

Right?

I knew you'd come back.

Talk to me.

You have to talk to me.

You need to talk to me.

Why me?

Why is this happening to me?

Do you mean why do you make

the choices that you make?

There's no other way.

There was no other choice.

You came here to find answers.

To find redemption.

Don't lie to yourself.

I'm passed redemption.

God won't forgive me.

Don't believe the lies.

It's too late.

Look at me.

What do you see?

Beauty...

and innocence...

and hope...

trapped inside of a blind body.

Yet I'm free.

Free to imagine

what you look like...

and free to chose to roam

in a prison of darkness.

No more lies.

Noah...

Yes?

Do you know what lives

in the darkness?

Monsters.

I am the monster.

We're not made for the darkness

Maybe you're right.

About what?

I'm crazy.

Well, step one is realizing

that you have a problem.

Seriously, I've been chasing

this a**hole for two years.

He's way too good

at covering things up.

I never got anyone

to turn on him.

Don't doubt yourself, Sam.

You're a good cop.

Now check this out.

There was an empty folder

on the server desktop,

so I checked the registry.

Last person to log in,

other than us,

was Miranda Hawkins

two nights ago at 11:38 pm.

It appears that Ms. Hawkins

deleted over 180 files.

But with the right software,

I might recover some of them.

I have a better idea.

Why don't we find her

and see what she knows?

[DISTANT CRYING]

[CRYING CONTINUES]

[CRYING CONTINUES]

Oh, f*** me.

[HISSING]

Why?

Why did you take me away

from my son?

Mateo.

I have to find Mateo.

You should never kill a girl

without kissing her first.

Please make them

leave me alone.

What? What?

So now you're the victim?

You're the victim?

You murder them

and then begrudge them

a little bit of payback.

I think you're starting

to get this now,

how this works, how we work.

I can't do this anymore.

No, no, no, no, no.

Let's not confuse

what's going on here, huh?

Your Jesus deceived your life,

not me, not me.

I can't.

Don't make me do this.

Don't make me, don't make me.

What, kill?

[CHUCKLES]

Kill... I'm killing...

You've killed definitely

not for God's sake.

For mine, you f***ing ingrate!

For me!

Because I want it.

Now bring me number four.

- What's this?

- Huh?

- Jesus Christ, Sam.

- Huh?

Christ, that's just, um...

That's Bickman

trying to get to us.

Does that mean it's not true?

No.

Jesus Christ, Sam,

a sealed grand jury?

Captain said stay away.

I couldn't do that

So you put him in the hospital?

I figured Matt

would've told you.

That is bullshit.

I am one phone call away

from running mall security

for the rest of my career.

- It's gonna be okay.

- No, it is not gonna be okay.

I'm not following you down

some f***ing rabbit hole.

Sarah, listen, this is

exactly what Bickman wants.

He wants us to fight.

We got this.

You got this.

We gotta get to Miranda.

This one's easy.

He won't miss the life

he's never had.

[GASPING]

[BEEPING]

[RAPID BEEPING]

[SUSTAINED BEEP]

Can I help you?

Miranda Hawkins?

Who are you?

Detective Walters, DPD.

Do you mind if we ask you

a few questions?

Regarding?

The Bickman construction

collapse on Quorum Drive.

I work for Bickman,

but I don't get to go to his

tower and glass headquarters.

We're in a warehouse

down at the port.

So you haven't

been there lately.

No. Why do you ask?

What is it that your department

does exactly, Miranda?

We purchase

construction materials.

How long have you worked there?
