Good People Page #3

From now on, if Thomas or Anna

Wright sneeze, you'll know about it.

But I warn you, there's

not much money to follow.

No, not at the moment.

Okay.

You'll keep me posted?

If Martin finds out, I'll be fired.

Martin's a smug little prick.

Superintendent Tosspot

can go f*** himself.

- TOM:
Detective Halden?

- Yes.

Hi, this is Tom Wright from the...

- How are you?

- We were just wondering

if you heard anything about

the next of kin for Ben Tuttle.

No, no, no. We haven't

located any living relatives.

I just ask because, uh,

we wanted to know what do with

his things, his clothes and stuff.

No, no one's come forward, yet.

Okay.

And, uh, do you know,

was it officially...

Yeah, overdose.

Looks like it was Liquid O.

- What's Liquid O?

- Heroin.

I see. Wow.

- Okay. Have a good day.

- Bye.

JACK:
You met my little

brother, haven't you?

Always tried to let him win.

Any game.

Drove Mom crazy. Said Bobby

would never learn if we did that.

'Course she was right.

Jack and Bobby. How it came to this?

Mom was a fan.

She also had high expectations.

Where's Cousin Ben?

You know, when you recommend a guy,

you're tying his name to yours.

Did you know he was going to f*** me?

If you tell me where I find him,

maybe I'll choose to

believe you on that.

Eddie, sir, could I please

trouble you for a pen?

You done the right thing.

But that doesn't mean I'm not

going to hold you accountable.

[MUFFLED WHIMPER]

- Anna.

- Yeah.

I spent some of the money.

What?

The day we found Ben,

the landlord gave us

an eviction notice.

I was going to tell you, but you

were in such a good mood,

and it was sushi night.

And then we found the money, and...

I took just enough to keep

the roof over our heads.

Look, we're in this.

As soon as we put the money in the oven

and we didn't take it out, we were in this.

If we don't start paying off the

mortgage, we're going to lose the house.

How do we do this?

We spend just enough

to stop the bleeding.

We use cash where we can,

and we get Mike to write an invoice.

You want to bring Mike into this?

No, it's not like that.

We're not bringing him into it.

But when I do a job for him,

he usually pays me cash,

and then writes an invoice.

So, if anyone asks...

Right, there's a paper trail.

What if someone comes

looking for it, Tom?

Anna.

Nobody's come.

Nobody's going to come.

And if they do, who's to

say Ben didn't spend it?

How much are we talking?

Just enough to stay above water.

The mortgage, credit cards.

Just so we're in the clear.

There's only one problem

that I can think of.

- What?

- You are going to be really lonely

when the debt

collectors stop calling.
