Mind if we do this outside?

Appreciate you hanging around.

I know the process.

Figured I'd save you

some time.

You look like sh*t.

I missed my shower

this morning.

Hmm.

You've been drinking.

Do you even have a license?

- Work permit.

- Got it on you?

Do I really have to deal

with this sh*t right now?

For all we know, you hit

that girl with your car.

[Mike] You wanna look

at my wheels, Pete?

- They're right over there.

- Why don't you wait it out

- in the car?

- [Pete] I'm all right.

I know.

Lot of the guys are still

pretty ticked off

with how it went down

with Burke.

Think I'm happy about it?

All right, let's talk about

this girl you found.

I need you to start

from the beginning.

Don't leave one

damn thing out.

Think she'll make it?

I've seen them

come back from worse.

Is she local?

Could be.

How old is she?

Early 20s, I guess.

Cops have any idea?

They were asking me.

[Teddy] Really?

You know,

this could end up

really nice for you.

You know,

damsel in distress

and here comes her knight

in shining armor.

You don't get involved

with a victim, Teddy.

- That's policy.

- Stop.

- [Mike] It's policy.

- Stop with the cop talk.

You don't have to worry

about that anymore.

[dramatic music playing]

[car engine revving]

[tires screeching]

What is that,

blood in there?

Yeah.

That sh*t's gonna be extra.

[door closes]

Oh, man.

Good thing you don't

have any interior.

- I appreciate it.

- [man] Thanks.

Found this,

underneath the seat.

[engine revving]

[phone beeping]

[phone line rings]

[operator] Southside Medical.

Yeah, ICU, please.

[operator] Please hold.

[Tammy] ICU, this is Tammy.

Hello, this is Mike Kendall.

I brought in a girl

yesterday morning.

Jane Doe, early 20s,

she was banged up

pretty good.

[Tammy] Oh, yeah.

Hi, Mr. Kendall.

I've got some

of her belongings

and I'd like

to drop them by,

personally,

to her.

[Tammy] Sorry,

guess no one told you.

She... last night

she passed away.

[tires screeching]

[car horns honking]

[Tammy] Mr. Kendall,

are you still there?

No, I'm still here.

Sorry to hear that.

[Tammy] Yeah.

Was her body identified?

[Tammy] I'm sorry,

I can't tell you that.

You'd have to contact

the police.

I understand.

- All right.

- [Tammy] All right,

well, you take care.

I will.

Thank you.

[engine idling]

[revving]

[dramatic music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

Pretty sure

that's gonna kill it.

Tina, why don't

you have a seat?

I'm working, Mike.

Come on, please?

It's been a sh*t day.

Fine.

Two minutes.

It's good to see you.

Yeah.

Been a while.

You look great.

What are you

doing tonight?

You're looking at it.

You wanna stop by
