[Gasps]

[Doors close, engine revs]

MAN:

Spare some change?

- Here.

- Thanks.

[Engine turns over]

[Engine revs,

tires screech]

Sh*t.

[Cell phone rings]

[Gasps]

Hello?

TYLER:

It's so hard to hear you.

Are you whispering?

Yeah, my throat hurts,

so I'm saving it... my voice.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

Where are you?

Where do you think I am?

I'm working.

At the clinic?

That's where I work, babe.

Hey, when can I see you?

I don't know.

I think I may be getting sick.

You know, I think I heard

something outside.

Can... can you hold on a sec?

Oh, f***.

[Telephone dialing]

[Ringing]

Good afternoon.

Detective Grayson.

Hello?

[Telephone beeps]

LILA:

Go away.

Are you hearing-impaired?

Have you ever dated somebody

and it just wasn't quite right?

Is there any other way?

Okay, I mean, say that you thought

something specific was wrong,

like you were, um...

...you know, jealous.

You're jealous?

Is he cheating on you?

No, Tyler's not cheating on me.

I just... I...

I needed some dating advice,

and... and you've slept

with so many people that I just...

I mean, you've dated so many people

that I just thought

that if anyone should know,

you would know.

He is cheating on you.

He's a dog.

No, he's not a dog.

I just... how do you know

that you can trust someone?

Don't trust him.

Don't believe a word he says.

That is the first rule.

Now, do you have

any evidence of his misdeeds,

or is it just a general feeling?

I don't know what to do.

Do you know the girl?

I mean, how do you know

that you can really believe someone?

Believe the worst.

Okay, this isn't working.

I should say not. Poor girl.

Let me know if you catch him

in bed with her or something.

Glad I could brighten your day.

I don't even need this anymore.

Hi. How are you feeling?

You don't look sick.

I'm not sick.

And you weren't at the office

the other day when you called.

How do you know?

Where were you?

Are you following me?

I was jealous.

You don't seem like the jealous type.

What were you doing at your house?

There's a drug that we use

for surgery and it expires

and our supply levels

have been a little bit off,

so I'm worried that someone

in the office has sticky fingers,

and it's a very dangerous drug,

so I decided to take it home

until Biohazard can pick it up

at the end of the month.

So, why did you lie to me?

I was screwing with you.

I could see you in my yard.

What?

Yeah, babe,

you're not exactly a ninja.

I saw you, and I called you.

When I came out,

you were gone.

And then you wouldn't take

any of my calls.

Wait, but what's

with your house?

It's so not a mess.

Babe, that was my house with Anna.

I mean, we were gonna get married

in the backyard.

I mean, I'm gonna sell that house,

but until I do, I want to keep it

as something of hers.

And then, maybe...

maybe you and I could...

get a place, start fresh.

Oh. Of course.

I missed you.

Missed you, too.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm, good.

I have a surprise.

- Surprise?

- Mm-hmm.

We are going

to Santa Barbara right now.

Oh!

Oh.

You know, I... I really can't.

It's beautiful.

It's romantic. It's secluded.

It's the perfect place

to go for a weekend.

You know, I really have

a lot of work stuff to do, so I...

Do it on work time.

Don't you want

to come away with me?

I do, but you know what?

Right now is just not the right time.

[Sighs]

All right.

If you're sure.

I'll call you later, okay?

I don't think

you should worry about it.

Worry about what?

Not going away with him.

I mean, let's face it.

You're not the kind of girl

who ends up with the guy.

You're gonna get exactly

what you deserve.

You're gonna end up

utterly and completely alone.

You'll die alone.

And knowing you, that's probably

just the way that you want it.

Tyler, wait!

Tyler!

CARYS:

It's so beautiful out here.

TYLER:

I know, isn't it?

Go inside.

I'll get our bags.

[Cell phone rings]

Hey.

SHANE:

I have good news.

- What is it?

- They're exhuming the body.

What?

Yeah, they're doing an autopsy.

The cops came in

with a court order.

There's some new piece

of evidence or something,

so they're actually

digging her up.

How is that good news?

Now you can return the ring.

I'm kidding.

Hello?

Do you think he knew

about the exhumation,

that it was happening

this weekend?

I don't know

if he knew about the...

- [Door opens]

- [Cell phone beeps]

[Sighs]

[Chuckles]

We are finally here.

And we're not going anywhere

for three whole days.

Oh.

[Cell phone rings]

You want to get that?

Nah.

Mm. Let me get us

some wine, okay?

Okay.

[Cell phone beeps]

TYLER:
I have something

I want to talk to you about.

[Gasps]

He found the ring.

Everything okay in there?

Fine. Perfect.

Hey, what are you

doing in there?

Nothing really... just, you know,

unpacking a few things.

Remember when I said I wanted

to talk to you about something?

You know, I'm actually

not really into threesomes.

Actually, that's not it.

Role playing?

Light bondage?

All right, all right,

you're not in the mood

for serious conversation.

[Cell phone beeps]

Yes.

Hope you're hungry.

Now can we talk?

You know

what we could use?

Some more firewood.

Some more firewood?

I mean, are you planning

on building a second story?

I just think a great big fire

would be so romantic.

[Chuckles]

[Cell phone beeps]

You ready for that fire?

You know,

I-I'm feeling a little sleepy.

Maybe tomorrow.

[Sighs]

[Cell phone vibrates]

[Vibrating continues]

[Whispering]:

Hello?

SHANE:
Why did you hang up

on me? Are you with him?

Yes.

What's happened?

Anna was killed

with sodium pentobarbital.

It's the drug they use

to put down dogs.

[Gasps]

Hello? Hello?

Hey. Are you okay?

Shh. One second.

You all right?

That's what I saw.

That's what he put in his safe.

TYLER:

Carys, you okay?

Fine!

I'll be back in a second!

Listen to me.

It wasn't an accident.

[Knock on door]

Carys.

She was drugged

before she got in that car.

TYLER:
What... what are you doing?

Who is that?

I'm great!

Uh, just go back to bed, babe.

Where are you?

[Knocking on door]

What's going on in there?

- Where are you?

- I don't know!

[Whispering]:

I don't know. I don't know.

Somewhere off the 101, like exit 140

in, like, a little cabin.

Okay. Okay.

Uh, I'm calling the cops right now.

TYLER:

Carys.

Just... I don't know,

act natural, okay?

Okay. No problem. No problem.

- Carys...

- [Cell phone beeps]

[Sighs]

Who was that?

Lila.

At 4:
00 A. M?

She's having guy problems.

She's a bit of a slut.

Come on.

Come back to bed.

You know, I'm not really feeling

that tired anymore.

You go, and I'll come in a minute.

[Sighs]

Come on.

Okay.

Hey.

What's wrong?

You look stressed.

Why did

you bring me here?

Sugar, it's the middle of the night.

I'm exhausted.

Let's talk about this

tomorrow, okay?

[Smooches]

[Whispering]:

Come on, come on, come on.

TYLER:
There you are!
