the fall for this?

That's okay with you?

Vincent used

everyone and anyone!

It's about time

we turned the tables!

Well, he's being charged

with murder.

Yeah.

Sarah wasn't dead

when we left her with Philip.

No.

No. You're lying.

No.

That's not possible.

What Philip did to her

was sick!

You're sick, Luke.

But, if I'm hearing you right,

it was your brother

who killed Sarah.

Okay, Chris.

Go home.

I'll clean up.

Like always.

No.

No more cleaning up, Luke.

Step outside.

Luke.

Now.

Jesus. Let me help you, Luke.

Please!

You're gonna kill me, too?

It's your own fault.

What do you want me to do?

Jump?

Yes. If you don't mind.

Luke, you don't

need to do this.

Jesus Christ, Luke!

Will you stop it?

I don't want to

hurt you, Chris.

I really don't.

So just do it.

Now!

I called the cops

before I came.

I told them everything.

Bullshit. I know you better.

I thought I knew you.

What about the note, huh?

You want this to

go down with me, too?

Give me that note, Chris.

Give it to me!

It's over, Luke.

You're right.

It is over.

Tell Ellie and the kids

I'm sorry.

Would you do that

for me, Chris?

No.

Come on, Chris.

Be a friend.

Luke? Luke!

Luke! Luke!

They're married. Honey, no.

They're having an affair.

Because she's

laughing at his jokes?

No. I'm telling you

they're having an affair.

Since when are you

the big expert on affairs?

Really?

Thanks for taking

me back, Meems.

What was my alternative?

To leave you wailing

at the front door,

with snot pouring out of your nose?

Sorry. Didn't mean

to scare you off.

I have the kids early

tomorrow, so I gotta go.

You're gonna leave me here

alone with my wife?

Yes. We could at least

have one more drink.

There'll be plenty more drinks.

Good night, Meems.

Good night, Chris.

Chris?

Anne.

Hi.

Hi.

You look good.

Thank you. You, too.

Listen. I still have a key.

Do you want it back?

It wouldn't work anymore.

Vincent's living there

alone now.

It's the only thing

his wife let him keep.

And Philip?

He's awaiting trial.

We'll see.

And you?

Are you doing okay?

Yeah. Most of the time.

And the rest of the time?

I heard you ditched

the city councilman.

That's not all I've given up.

Uh, do you wanna grab

a cup of coffee?
