No, it's okay.

I just didn't think I'd be able to change

anything if Dr. Heidecker's letter didn't...

Oh, sh*t.

I need to paint this.

I... I don't understand.

I paint this for Mr. "B", so I'd...

be able to use his keys

to get out of the storage unit.

It doesn't matter.

I'll tell you when we leave.

- We need to go before the cops show up.

- Okay, I'm going to get you that ice.

This isn't... possible.

I was always going to paint this?

We haven't changed anything.

Then where did this come from?

- I thought you were getting ice.

- I was. I am.

What were you saying?

Doesn't matter.

Here. You should probably go lay down,

put this ice on your head.

What the f*** was that?

The camera just went off!

What? Give... Give me this.

I can explain.

No.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Talk to me. Tell me what's going on.

- Look, let's just go sit down.

- No. Talk!

Okay.

Remember when we got the call

that Mr. "B" was behind on his rent,

and I went to check on him?

Hey, Mr. Bezzerides, are you home?

I found the machine, and sticking

out of the camera was a photo.

The reason there are nighttime

and daytime photos

on the wall of Mr. B's apartment

is because the camera takes a photo

at 8:
00 pm and 8:00 am.

By keeping you and Jasper

from knowing that,

I could secretly pass messages

back to myself.

You're up early.

So when I caught you

in the kitchen just now,

what... what were you doing?

I was hiding this.

Last night when Jasper posed

with all of the money,

I switched out the photos.

I switched them back just now.

I've seen all of the nighttime photos,

and Jasper's dead, so...

when was this taken?

It's from before.

Before when?

Before before.

A month ago, drunk charades?

Look, it didn't mean anything.

I was just acting out.

I'd get drunk sometimes, and...

Look, it was almost as if I wanted

to get caught, so you would wake up.

That's an excuse. Yeah.

I'm sorry for being so weak.

I just I can't...

I can't believe that you would...

allow this... you had every opportunity

to prevent it, to warn us about it.

Why didn't you do that?

I was just doing

what the photos told me to.

I was getting pulled along,

like we all were.

And don't you see?

Everything happened for a reason.

Look, everything we had before

was fading. You were so distant.

But then you got jealous

for the first time in ages.

And I finally got to feel

your kiss again.

And you said it... it takes a moment

like this to wake a guy up...

to what's right in front of him.

Little by little,

we were coming back together.

But then...

You kept picking the machine

and your work over us.

So I had to do something

to bring you back to your senses.

And then today,

you fought for us... harder than

I've ever seen you fight for anything.

So in the end, everything worked out.

Everything worked out?

What are you doing?

I'm going to do what we should

have done from the start.

I'm going to destroy

that f***ing machine.

Stop! Please, stop.

You said we can change things, right?

Then all I have to do is put a new note

in the window for tonight's picture.

Then when I get the message last night,

I'll know to prevent you

from catching me at the window just now.

You'll never find the photos.

We'll never have had this conversation.

If you destroy the machine,

I can't fix this.

I wish you hadn't made me do that.

It's going to be okay.

We won't remember any of this tomorrow.

It's going to be okay.

What are you doing here, Joe?

I got a message from Finn.

He said that you two were leaving town.

I might be interested to see

what Jasper was up to.

What's on the window?

Can I come in?

Sure. Fine.

It doesn't matter.

Tonight none of this will matter.

I guess you might have

some questions for me?
