Chariot Progressive. Listen.

Mandelbrot set is in motion.

Is that a lyric from something?

F***.

Ma'am, are you going to get something?

Chariot Progressive, Mike.

Chariot Progressive.

- Listen.

Mandelbrot set is in motion.

Echo Choir has been breached.

We are fielding the ball.

Chariot Progressive.

Chariot Progressive.

Listen, Mike. You're not listening...

Listen. Chariot Progressive!

Chariot Progressive.

Chariot Progressive is in motion.

Motion...

Mike. Please listen to me.

All right, lady,

enough with that stuff, okay?

You're in danger.

You have to listen to me.

I've got to close up soon. So...

I'm sorry.

- It's okay.

- About all of this.

I'm sorry, Mike. I tried.

It's cool.

Do you want your soup?

Hey, stop doing sh*t to my car.

- Hey, babes, what's up?

- Hey.

I just killed two people...

Two... Two gentlemen.

That's awesome. Why?

No, these two guys were trying to, like,

break into my car at work,

and they had guns and knives

and they were being, like, total d*cks

and they just attacked me.

Sh*t, babe, you got mugged?

Then I took, like,

a spoon and I just like...

I, like, shoved it through this guy.

- Did you call the police?

- No, I didn't call the police.

'Cause I'm the killer...

I'm the murderer, okay?

I also have, like...

I have, like, a lot of weed

and mushrooms in my car.

I just killed two dudes

in a parking lot, okay,

and, Phoebe,

if you don't come here right now,

I'm just gonna start

like pissing in my pants.

I swear to God, Phoebe,

I'm just gonna start, like, pissing.

How did this happen?

How the f*** did this happen?

I shot those guys in the head.

And that guy, I, like,

I spooned him in the neck

and his sh*t just, like, ended.

You just killed two guys?

They were trying to,

like, stab me, Phoebe.

- Why are people trying to stab you?

- I don't know!

I don't know, but I am...

I am, like, freaking out

all over the place.

Babe, I have, like,

a lot of anxiety about this.

Get your hands in the air.

F*** me! Yup.

God, it's Mike.

- I'm sorry!

- Drop it.

What do you mean, two casualties?

We lost two assets attempting to neutralize

Wiseman-designate Howell.

How is that possible?

He was armed with a spoon, sir.

A f***ing spoon? What?

We're not sure yet,

the exact nature of the confrontation...

He's been f***ing activated!

Do you not see that?

- Yes, sir.

- This is Lasseter.

She's in the town.

Lock it down and find her.

Shut down the bridge,

nobody gets in or out!

- Sir, yes, sir.

- Where's asset Howell now?

He's been arrested, sir.

Perfect. Okay, we go in.

We take him out.

He's trapped in one place.

You cannot possibly f*** this up.

Yes, sir.

Employ assets Crane and Laugher.

Okay, so just lead me

through this one more time.

Just so I'm clear. Just so...

No, no, no.

- I hit him with a spoon...

- Yeah.

...and his lungs exploded.

- It wasn't his lungs.

- No, that's what happened.

'Cause he couldn't breathe,

'cause I got him in the neck.

Your lungs aren't in your neck,

they're in your chest.

I know that, Phoebe.

No, I don't know that. No, I do.

Phoebe. It doesn't even

make any sense to me.

Okay. Okay.

So you said something about a lady.

- Yeah.

- What did she say to you?

Okay, so she said...

I don't know what she said.

Like, some bullshit. Like...

I don't know what she said.

- Babe. We're in jail.

- Yeah?

So maybe just try and remember

and focus and put it together.

- Okay, I will.

- What did the lady say?

Okay.

She said...

Mandelbrot set is in motion.

Echo Choir has been breached.

We are fielding the ball.

- Mike, what the f*** does that mean?

- I don't know.

Phoebe, I don't know

but I remember it like it just happened.

I remember every single thing that happened

to me in the last 94 minutes.

Ninety-four minutes?

How did I even get that number, Phoebe?

I remember literally every single thing

that happened, I can picture it.

- Mike, listen.

- Okay.

Just slow down.

Yeah, Mike.

You slow way down.

How many times have you been

in this station, Mike?

Since you were 22?

Your probation officer must be

the Michael Jordan of bullshitters.

Because I've never seen you gone

more than couple of hours?

Mike.

Tell me you didn't kill these people.

They attacked him.

- He was defending himself.

- Yeah.

- Excuse me?

- What was he supposed to do?

You're his girlfriend. You're his mom.

You're his maid. You're his landlady.

- Now you're his lawyer?

- It was just a thing.

It was just a thing that happened.

Mike...

- I didn't mean to.

- You didn't mean to?

Two men are dead, Mike.

There's no walking away this time.

- What the hell is that?

- What's going on?

Sh*t, lock it down!

Hey, we've got a problem.

Why is the power out?

Hell, Phoebe, I don't know.

Just keep moving.
