Why do you think that?

Kevin's gone to get help.

He's gonna be back.

If he gets a ride, it could

be in the morning, who knows.

What if it is one of us?

Oh, gosh.

Look, we should all

like, take out our pockets

and show what we

have in our pockets.

That's what I think.

Because I actually think,

most likely, it is one of us.

Luca, we don't wanna start

turning this on ourselves, OK?

No, but--

- There's somebody out here.

- We need to find them.

But you know what?

I'd like to be able

to sleep tonight.

OK.

And I'd like to feel safe.

So I'm gonna make

sure it's none of us.

OK?

I don't have to do this.

We're all going to do it, OK?

OK.

Why am I going first?

Because you are a surgeon.

All of us have medical

training, Jessica.

It doesn't make us

killers, of course not.

And you're the last

person we saw with Lily.

Oh, Ajay, listen.

Down at the car.

I was, and I sent her up here.

Ajay, I make 600 grand

a year at home, OK?

I got a wife.

I got a son.

I have a beautiful daughter.

I didn't come to

Turkey to kill people.

Come on.

Someone's got to start,

so you're going to start.

And you do it, eh?

Oh, look, I found

the murder weapon.

It's a half inch long.

Don't joke about that.

That's it.

Listen, it's not me, OK?

How can you think that?

We've been together for weeks.

Do you think I just

cracked a fuse?

Come on.

Jesus.

Take off your shirt.

Take my shirt off?

What in the--

Yeah, take your shirt off.

The person who

did that, you know

what, there's most likely some

blood somewhere on his clothes.

No blood.

Take it off.

I cannot believe this.

Take your shirt off.

Ajay, you're--

I just want to see.

Oh my god, look at his back.

Look at his back.

What are talking about?

What are you talking about?

Get off.

What are you talking about?

What are these scratches?

What scratches?

I don't even know what

you're talking about.

- What is that?

- Stop it!

You guys get off of me.

Ajay!

Hey, hey, hey.

Get that knife off my neck.

You have scratches on your arm.

You have scratches on your back.

On my back?

Where are the

scratches coming from?

You have marks on your back.

I told you, I told you.

Lily was at the car with me.

I sent her up.

Please, get that

knife off of me.

No, listen.

And then what happened?

And then I never saw her again.

What are those blood marks

on your back, Matthew?

I have no idea.

You have marks on your back.

Listen to me,

listen to me, Ajay.

I have no-- I have no idea.

I don't know what

those marks are.

Get off of me.

Please, I'm begging you.

Matthew.

I made those.

What'd you say?

What did the girl say?

Taylor, did he do

something to you?

He's not my father?

What do you mean?

He's not my father, but

I was with him last night.

Taylor, what are you saying?

Haven't you ever

heard of an affair?

What's going on?

She's only a girl.

Big girl.

What's going on?

What happened?

I'll tell you what's going on.

I didn't kill anybody.

Who cares about this?

This is none of your business.

Why have you been lying

this whole entire time?

Because she gets

a kick out of it.

It would be--

You've been lying to us.

Right, and who

do you sleep with?

It's none of my business.

Hey, can we rule me out now?

Now that you turned

my life inside out?

Listen, you want to be done?

We're done, OK?

I'm gonna get you outta

here safe and sound.

We're gonna get away from here.

And when we go home, we're

gonna pretend it never happened.

But there is no reason to

drag anybody else into this.

Oh, there's not?

No, why would you ruin the

life of my wife and kids

just so you can

unburdened yourself?

Why would you ruin the lives

of your wife and your children

by having an affair?

You're trying to

make this my fault?

Listen to me.

I was building my career

when you were in diapers,

and you are not gonna

wreck it for me.

You bring this out,

I lose everything.

And I am not gonna

lose everything.

So you're gonna get

your crap together

and keep your mouth shut.

You are a sicko and an idiot!

You're trying to hide

behind all your goodness

and all your dignity.

Well, you know what?

I don't give a crap.

You make me sick.

SOLO:
It was a problem

between me and my girl.

AJAY:
And did you meet

Simone afterwards last night?

Just tell us, did you meet

with her after we went

to bed, after we went to sleep?

Did you?

SOLO:
Yes.

OK.

Lily said that she saw you

and Simone arguing last night.

SOLO:
So what?

Late last night, were

you guys fighting?

Well, we had a fight.

Who cares?

You didn't walk her back too?

We got in a fight.

I did not know this

was going to happen.

Ah, so it's Solo's turn

in the hot seat, huh?

You gonna get a

knife on him too?

Where did she go when you

finished talking to her then?

What happened?

OK, where did you go?

Where did you go?

Where did you meet her?

You're putting this on me?

That I killed Simone?

Why-- why would I do this?

We fight like every

relationship does.

Who cares?

Like you said, it's none

of our business, right?

No, it's our business when

people show up dead, Solo.

That's why it's our business.

Why would I do that?

It's not them.

I don't believe it's Ajay.

What were you fighting about?

Look, she has

somebody on the side.

That's what happened.

Yeah, and then she's

dead the next morning.

Oh my god.

Do not blame this--

do not put this on me.

Oh, really?

I feel so bad for you since

I was just on the ground.

Shut up.

I'm telling you.

Seriously.

OK, I will shut up.

Give me your coat.

Yeah, yeah, give me the jacket.

Here, take it.

Nude up.

How do you like that, huh?

You see anything?

Search it.

Empty out your pockets.

Why are you doing this?

Just empty your pockets.

Here, you want

your camera back?

- Yeah, I do.

- Here you go.

Well, this is ridiculous.

It is ridiculous.

I don't know why we're

doing this for anybody.

What you got?

Hold on, look, I do not know

how that got in my pocket,

I swear.

- It's Lily's.

- What is that?

- It's Lily's.

- Look, I do not know.

It's Lily's.

I just reached in my

pocket right now, I swear.

I didn't know this--

How did it get in your pocket?

I don't know.

Why would I kill Lily?

Because she saw something

you didn't want her to see.

No, no, no.

And then you killed her.

Why would I tie

her up like this?

Why would I do all of this?

Why?

Because you're

harvesting organs

to sell on the black market.

What the hell are

you talking about?

That doesn't make any sense.

What I'm saying is that--

I did not do this though.

I swear, I swear,

I did not do this.

She was pregnant.

Lily was pregnant.

Jess, I'm sorry.

I didn't--

Did you know that, Ajay?

I didn't know that

she was pregnant.

I didn't-- I swear,

I didn't touch her.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Look, I didn't do anything.

Why do you have this?

It was just in my

pocket, I swear.

Why do you have this?

Jess, please.
