I was the bar right and then gave me a
preview of a concert and blew me away.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Okay, he's exaggerated.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
He If Nico says you were great, then I believe him.
He's an honest guy.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
There's a lot about this job that comes easy to me,
reading people, thinking on my feet, not being afraid to
get my hands dirty.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Where too? How was the sun set on the beach?

Speaker 5 (00:53):
Sound perfect?

Speaker 4 (00:55):
But there's one bad habit I haven't been able to
shake no matter how long I've been in this bus.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Want me to drop you off by the cove. Beautiful
sunsets there?

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah, that sounds good.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Appreciate it, bro, you know it.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
I get too attached to people.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
I hope it hasn't been boring waiting around for us
all day.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
You're kidding. This is like a paid vacation for me,
Miss Thompson.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Please call me Anna.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Even though I know better, I still let people get
too close to me.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
You too, enjoy now?

Speaker 5 (01:26):
Thanks?

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Diego anytime, Anna and close to me.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
It's one of the most dangerous places somebody could be.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
It's going well, huh.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Shit, I'll say, so. We shouldn't be too.

Speaker 6 (01:39):
Long, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
Take your time man, can't hurry.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
Love that being said, this is the one time where
the only place more dangerous than by my side is
out of my sight.

Speaker 7 (01:50):
Yeah, crap, Nico, you forgot your phone? Niko man, m.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Okay, someone can take a hint. Uh no, figures? Uh Hello?
Can I ask who's calling?

Speaker 8 (02:17):
Well, that all depends. Can I ask who's answering?

Speaker 7 (02:22):
My name is Diego, mister Alexander's employee.

Speaker 8 (02:28):
Seeing as Nicholas is my employee, I guess that makes
me your boss too.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Oh is this Marcus?

Speaker 8 (02:37):
Sure is?

Speaker 3 (02:37):
Wow, it's an honor to talk to you.

Speaker 8 (02:40):
Man, don't tell me Nico has been talking about me
behind my bag. I like to maintain an error mystery.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Oh no, no, he just got me up to speed
so I could help a bit, you.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Know, with the job.

Speaker 8 (02:54):
Of course, I'm glad he found someone he could rely
on on. There trust his everything is Nicholas there with you.
I'd really like to have a word with him.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
He just took Anna down to the beach to watch
the sunset. He's really pulled out all the stuffs today.
You've met Hannah. Oh yeah, she's amazing.

Speaker 8 (03:18):
No, I know, you know, I could use a little
vacation myself. Maybe I'll come down and join you.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Oh sure, I mean, the more the merrier, Well.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Diego was it? That's right, I'll let you get back
to it.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
Did you want me to take a message for Nico
or anything?

Speaker 5 (03:41):
Nah?

Speaker 8 (03:42):
I'll see him soon.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
And diego.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yes, sir, I'd consider it.

Speaker 8 (03:48):
A real favor if you didn't mention our conversation with Nicholas.

Speaker 6 (03:53):
I want to surprise him.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Oh for sure, Man, I can keep a secret.

Speaker 1 (03:58):

Speaker 6 (04:02):
Nice guy Underwater episode five, the morning after.

Drive that butchers on me? Who did you drop off?

Speaker 1 (04:47):
What? G? G?

Speaker 5 (04:48):
G was?

Speaker 1 (04:54):
I was afraid you might have run off already.

Speaker 10 (04:57):
I just realized how late we slept and thought I'd
got to move on. Besides, I gotta get my strength
back before I can run anywhere.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
I'm guessing you don't want any company in that in?

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Did I say that? Oh?

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Is that an invitation?

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Sure was? Just as long as we can take things
nice and slow, I could do that.

Speaker 11 (05:21):
Tell me right now, you de only one honey, so
pay it. Put your hands, hold me, hold me? When
we did put your hands.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Why won't you just stay with me the all day?
Keep get going.

Speaker 10 (05:54):
Don't tempt me. I've got big plans tonight. Remember hen
me a tell.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Thanks my pleasure.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
How are you feeling about tonight?

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Nervous as hell?

Speaker 1 (06:09):
To be honest, would.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
It help if I told you that you have absolutely
nothing to be nervous about.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
I heard you singing.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
That's just the thing.

Speaker 10 (06:18):
I'm find singing in front of a person or two.
But I've never been in front of a crowd, like
what if I choke?

Speaker 4 (06:25):
I just got to get in the right headspace somewhere
you feel safe.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
You know where's that at?

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Give me your phone?

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Why give me your phone?

Speaker 1 (06:36):
What shoul think of my Bugget? Is something.

Speaker 5 (06:40):
Here?

Speaker 12 (06:41):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Damn? You do? Trust me?

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Yeah? I guess so. Don't make me regret it.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
You have my word.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
Now go over there for a second. You might have
to get a little closer, might have to get a closer.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
You really think you can show me something I haven't
seen before.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
I know it. Here.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
I left the voicemaimo for you. I'm sure you won't
need it. But if your nerves get the best of
you tonight, just take a listen.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Wow, would be careful, Nico. This is right on the
edge of corniness.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
I live on the edge.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Wow, nice view you got.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
I'm supposed to focus on the view while you're standing
here in the tower.

Speaker 10 (07:31):
Okay, you already got me into bed and into the shower.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
You can cool it with the compliments.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
I don't think I can tell me what's on your mind.

Speaker 10 (07:43):
It's just it's just wild. A few weeks ago, I
didn't know anything about this place. Now it feels like
I've never known anything else.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
And has it lived up sher expectations the island.

Speaker 10 (07:56):
I had no idea what to expect, you know, coming
down here. It certainly wasn't this, and it certainly wasn't you.
How am I supposed to just walk away from you
after all this?

Speaker 4 (08:11):
We both have plenty of practice. I'm sure we'll figure
it out.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
What if we didn't have to?

Speaker 1 (08:16):
What you mean?

Speaker 2 (08:17):
We could leave together?

Speaker 11 (08:19):
Ah?

Speaker 1 (08:19):
No?

Speaker 10 (08:19):
The second my concert is over tonight, we could just
get on a place.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Why not? There's nothing for me.

Speaker 10 (08:26):
Back in la I mean maybe I could come back
to New York with you.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
No wherever you go from here, just don't let it
be New York, please.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (08:38):
We could find somewhere else new together, you know, somewhere safe.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
I'm not sure that place exists, not as long as
you would me.

Speaker 5 (08:48):
Trust me.

Speaker 10 (08:49):
If you knew where I was coming from, you wouldn't
want to go anywhere with me either.

Speaker 5 (08:53):
Who is it.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
My boss?

Speaker 2 (08:59):
You can take it if you need to.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yeah, I'll just give me a second.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Oh yeah, that's okay. I gotta go and get dressed anyway.

Speaker 5 (09:10):
I'll be right back. You have one new wireless voice message.

Speaker 13 (09:19):
What you don't answer? Your fucking fun anymore, Nicholas, I
just landed. I'm here on the island. Some new business
came up. Plus, I figured i'd help you finish.

Speaker 8 (09:29):
The job since you did say you needed back up.

Speaker 13 (09:33):
I'm swinging down at this.

Speaker 8 (09:34):
You know I'll be there in twenty they'll be late.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
You gotta get out of here.

Speaker 10 (09:42):
Why you're afraid the housekeeping staff is gonna gossip about us?

Speaker 1 (09:45):
This isn't a joke.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
What was that call about?

Speaker 1 (09:48):
It doesn't matter?

Speaker 5 (09:49):
It matters to me, Nico.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Hey, after all this, you still don't trust me enough
to tell me the truth.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
You'll be safer if you don't know bullshit?

Speaker 5 (09:57):
Is this about your work?

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Did something happen with your boss?

Speaker 5 (10:00):
Is this why you have a gun?

Speaker 1 (10:01):
We don't got time for this.

Speaker 10 (10:02):
You've never told me anything about him.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
If I knew, maybe I could help you.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Baby, you want to help now, go to your room,
grab what you can and leave.

Speaker 10 (10:11):
I couldn't leave, even if I'm wanting to, Nigo, I
have my mom's concerts.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Forget about the concert?

Speaker 4 (10:16):
What look Singing a few songs for your mom's fans
is not worth the risk?

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Sounds familiar?

Speaker 1 (10:22):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 5 (10:24):
You're hardly the.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
First person to try and talk me out of performing.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
I'm just trying to keep you safe.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah, I've heard that one before too.

Speaker 9 (10:30):
Where are you going?

Speaker 1 (10:32):
I wish I could tell you. I just need to
take care of this shit.

Speaker 14 (10:35):
Does this have something to do with Matteo? Is that
who you're running off to to.

Speaker 5 (10:39):
Take care of?

Speaker 1 (10:39):
I can't get into this.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
What do you think he was the one who broke in?

Speaker 1 (10:43):
There's only one way to find out.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
You really think that's a good idea, Anna, I told
you everything that I can.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
What you do with that is on you?

Speaker 14 (10:51):
Are you kidding me? You haven't told me anything? Nico away, Nico,
you weren't kidding. You are good at walking away, aren't you?

Speaker 8 (11:12):
Hey?

Speaker 15 (11:12):
Everything all right over here?

Speaker 5 (11:14):
We're fine?

Speaker 16 (11:15):
Sure?

Speaker 15 (11:15):
About that moon seems kind of tense.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Keep walking, Gabriel, just don't concern you.

Speaker 15 (11:19):
Oh, make that extremely tense. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I
didn't mean to interrupt your lover's quarrel.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
I don't I told you keep walking.

Speaker 15 (11:31):
Jesus, what's the matter with you?

Speaker 5 (11:34):
You're hurting him?

Speaker 15 (11:36):
Go ahead, Okay, you made your point.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
You got anything else to say? What was that?

Speaker 5 (11:42):
Nothing?

Speaker 1 (11:44):
That's what I.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Thought, Jesus, Nico, who are you?

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Is better if you don't know?

Speaker 6 (11:52):
Yeah, walk away, tough guy.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
What the hell are you doing antagonizing him like that?

Speaker 15 (11:58):
What's wrong? Didn't enjoy seeing your boyfriend's true colors?

Speaker 5 (12:02):
Just now?

Speaker 2 (12:02):
She's not my boyfriend.

Speaker 15 (12:04):
Oh yeah, you could have fooled me.

Speaker 12 (12:05):
But hey, maybe you're just as good an actress as
you are a singer. What you're a more talented performer
than you are an informant. You know that, that is
for sure. But hey, at least we got Nico talking
to his boss on the phone.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
You were listening in on us.

Speaker 12 (12:22):
I assumed you gathered as much. Hey, I heard you
pressing for information at the end. There, it's a nice effort.
How did you Surveillance is part of my job.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
You're the one who broke in. You were listening all night.

Speaker 12 (12:39):
Oh, don't be embarrassed, miss Thompson. I was purely professional
on my part.

Speaker 5 (12:44):
Fuck you.

Speaker 14 (12:45):
Oh, Nico's storming off to settle some blood feud because
of you.

Speaker 5 (12:49):
He's gonna get himself hurt or why do you care?

Speaker 15 (12:54):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (12:57):
Oh, just just shut up.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Okay, I know Nico told me that I should get
off the island. Do you know why?

Speaker 12 (13:07):
Not exactly, But honestly, I would not put too much
stock in what he says. Okay, I'm not sure he
has your best interests at heart.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
What's that supposed to mean?

Speaker 12 (13:18):
You can't get into details, might compromise the investigation.

Speaker 10 (13:23):
Fine, can you at least tell me if you think
it's safe for me to perform.

Speaker 12 (13:27):
Tonight, you're gonna have the FBI's full protection at the concert.

Speaker 15 (13:32):
It doesn't get safer than.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
That, Gabriel, How bad is it? Whatever Nico is mixed
up in with his.

Speaker 12 (13:39):
Boss, I wouldn't worry about it.

Speaker 15 (13:42):
It won't be a problem for.

Speaker 5 (13:43):
Long here, Babe, Elena.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
I don't think day drinking is going to help.

Speaker 7 (14:09):
There.

Speaker 5 (14:10):
Now it's a mimosa.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
I'm good with coffee.

Speaker 5 (14:14):
More for me than.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Ah delightful?

Speaker 5 (14:21):
Is espresso? Okay?

Speaker 2 (14:23):
That's fine, I just need something to help clear my
head a little.

Speaker 5 (14:26):
Sure, it's your head, that's you issue, seems more like
your heart.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Girl, I'm not about to start listening to my heart
right now. I never ensile.

Speaker 5 (14:35):
Well, I'm happy to listen.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
I've been told I give great advice. Yeah, you don't
want to hear about the mess I've gotten myself into
you kidding?

Speaker 5 (14:43):
Hearing about people's messes is the best part of my job.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Trust me, I'm doing you a favor.

Speaker 5 (14:49):
Give me a hint at least.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
All Right, how's this?

Speaker 10 (14:52):
I have no idea who I can trust anymore, or
even if I can trust myself.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
I feel so lost.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Well, what do you usually do when you feel lost?
I usually talk to my mom. That's not an.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Option, so.

Speaker 5 (15:11):
Maybe not in the way it used to be. There's
more than one way to connect with someone.

something right now, I.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Sort of got.
