S1 E15Unfinished Business

FHFiona Helbron

You have good manners. You must work hard at them.

Well, I can be quite rude at times. When I fail to make the effort.

FHFiona Helbron

I forget sometimes, too.

How can I be of service?

CWCapt. Will Lombarde

We want to pull off a heist.

A heist?....You want to steal something from a heavily armed meth-dealing band of bike-riding satanists.

CWCapt. Will Lombarde

Interested?

Practically engorged. When do we start?

You know you could have told me that you like her.

Beg your pardon?

You like her.

Yes, I like Fiona. She's compulsively honest and congenitally unpretentious.

And pretty.

What are you getting at?

You like her as in LIKE like.

You're suggesting a romantic interest. More specifically you're suggesting a romantic interest in the vernacular of a prepubescent child.

This is the book you loaned her. She wanted me to give it back to you.

So... Hundreds of books in the house. How many volumes of poetry? Zero. You bought it for her.

Bought it to lend it.

....

You like someone, that's amazing!

I like many women, often two at a time, you know that.

No, this is not about sex. You really like her.

Stop using that word!

We'll examine the scene of [your brother's] death. But not because of your connection to my father. If anything, we're gonna have to look past that.

HBHenry Baskerville

I'll pay you whatever you need.

My thoughts exactly.

"The Keep." The very pinnacle in luxury doomsday bunkers. Built inside a decommissioned Cold War stronghold at a secret location just outside the city. Owned and operated by this man, Ronnie Wright - ex-Marine, survival expert, huckster. His sales pitch touts not only the site's security, but also the exclusivity of its members.

It is pretty swanky.

If you're keen on spending eternity buried alive with a group so narcissistic they think that outliving humanity is a good idea. I'd rather melt with the masses and get it over with, wouldn't you?

It's not how I pictured prepping. I mean, when you say survivalists, I see bearded guys wearing gas masks digging holes in their backyards to build shelters.

That's the garden-variety prepper. The Keep caters to a uniquely vile subset: the wealthy prepper. Along with the myriad doomsday scenarios that haunt ordinary preppers - global pandemic, nuclear holocaust, socialist zombies coming to eat their guns - the wealthy ones also worry that the poor are going to rise up with torches and pitchforks. Which, one could argue, wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

If someone is, say, a cannibal serial killer, that's not enough to call them crazy. As long as you know that eating and killing your victims is wrong, you're considered sane in the eyes of the law.

EMEric Minton

That's what the law says.

In the work that Dr. Naylor did for you, did the name Morland Holmes ever come up?

EMEric Minton

Holmes? Related to you?

That's what the law says.

She hoped that her data would be used by the courts to create standardized sentencing guidelines.

Do you think this has something to do with why she was murdered?

The study did earn Dr. Naylor her share of detractors. Wealth and race presently play a far greater role in sentencing than anyone would care to admit. Now any attempt to change that represents a seismic upsetting of the applecart, and it's easy to imagine any number of Father's cronies liking the applecart just the way it is.
