- Yeah.

Yeah.

I've known her since she was a kid.

A ball and two strikes. Two on, two out.

Dave.

It's 3 in the morning.

Where have you been?

Oh, my God.

I f***ed up.

What happened?

This guy tried to mug me,

and I swung on him and he sliced me.

But look at your hand.

We gotta go to the hospital.

No, no, it's not that bad.

It's not that deep.

It bled like hell. I can't go to the hospital.

- Oh, my God, Dave.

Come on. Come here.

So I'm walking to my car, and this guy

comes up to me and asks for a light.

I say I don't smoke.

He says neither does he.

My heart starts clocking a buck fifty

because there's no one around.

Oh, God.

- That's when I see the knife.

Says, 'Your wallet or your life.

I'm leaving with one of them.'

That's what he said?

- Yeah.

So I try to brush past him.

That's when he slices me.

You said you swung on him first.

Jesus, Celeste, can I tell the f***ing story?

I'm sorry, babe.

I went f***ing nuts on him, baby. I...

I went off.

I bashed his head on the parking lot.

There was blood everywhere.

I might have killed him.

Killed him?

It makes you feel...

...alone, you know, hurting somebody.

Yeah, but you had to, right?

It makes you feel...

...alien.

Okay.

Babe, you hop in the shower.

And I'll take care of your clothes.

Yeah?

- Yeah.

Here.

What's the nature of your emergency?

There's, like, this car with blood in it,

and the door's open.

What's the location of the car?

- Sydney Street.

It's in the Flats by Pen Park.

Me and my friend just found it.

Son, what's your name?

- He wants to know her name.

Your name, what's your name?

We're so f***ing out of here.

Good luck, man.

Dispatch, this is Unit 33.

We're gonna need a crime-scene tech,

and you might want to notify Homicide.

Thirty-three, have you

found a body yet? Over.

No, but by the looks of this car,

we'll find one sooner or later.

Yeah?

- I'm in the weeds here at the store...

...and I need some help.

You and Katie can't handle 6,

how you gonna handle the church crowd?

That's the thing, Katie ain't here.

- Hold on.

I'll be there in 10 minutes.

Just call Sal, make sure he can

get there at 8 instead of 10.

No-shows at work,

what if she no-shows at church?

She'll be there.

You know, she's gonna

screw up this day too.

Oh, what other day

has she screwed up lately?

You got two other daughters,

don't forget.

I'll be at the church before anybody else,

don't worry about that.

What the f***'s going on here?

Pete, anybody show?

- No.

Katie didn't call?

No.

Hello?

- Drew, Jimmy.

Sorry to wake you.

I'm looking for Katie.

Yeah, she's here, I think.

Hang on a second, let me go check.
