Hey.
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
Any reason you're playing I Spy?
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
We could use some help catching whoever did this.
He was your brother.
That's got to matter to somebody.
𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝟐
It does, but I'm new here, and I took an oath...
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
Okay, enough with the frickin' oath.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
We're not asking u for your secret handshake.
But if u could point us to somebody who might have had a bone to pick with Derek.
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
Want to explain?
𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝟐
It's all the pledges.
When we accept a bid, we sign our names.
It's tradition.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
And the names that get crossed out?
𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝟐
Dropouts.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Why would someone drop?
𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝟐
They can't hack it, but I'd rather go through with initiation than deal with the fallout of bailing.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Fallout as in...?
𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝟐
Let's just say, I wouldn't be checking my Facebook page much if I chickened out.
It can get kind of brutal.
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
Oh, public disgrace and humiliation.
Joys of male bonding.
Any idea where Bradley is?
𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝟐
No one's seen him around campus since he left the house.

Slowly waking up
You don't need it.
Slowly getting up

Tell that to my vertebrae and the concrete wall that realigned them.
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
I didn't?
𝐓𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐜
You did.
𝐓𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐜
You didn't know what u were doing, so no guilt, but, I mean, toss me across the room like a sack of flour once, shame on u.
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
I am so sorry.
Are you okay?
𝐓𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐜
I'll live.
But these new Terminator episodes take things to a whole new level.
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Okay, I cannot leave this building until we figure out how to control it.
What did u find?
𝐓𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐜
It's not pretty.
So, basically, when you're in Terminator trance, it looks like your frontal lobe is repressed.
Like the functions that would normally give u control over your emotions, compassion, and all the... touchy-feely stuff.
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
Okay, what else?
Looking to see that look on his face
What?
Tupac, what is it?
𝐓𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐜
Uh... u have anything against frat guys?
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐚
No. Why?
𝐓𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐜
Rozonda investigating a murder that happened right when u were blacked out.
Same part of town, same hour.
Died of multiple lacerations.
Kind of like... claws.
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
If u can't find Mr. Right here, you've reached the point of no return.
FRATERNITY PARTY
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Look.

𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡
Yes, ma'am, that's right.
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
Big fan of your work.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
She means your charity work.
It's a great cause.
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
Abs aren't bad, either.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Tionne.
𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
What? We're female cops.
We get objectified all the time.
Besides, u don't mind, do u?
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Okay. I'm gonna...

𝐓𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞
See ya.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚

𝐃𝐮𝐝𝐞
Mike.
Mike Strickland.
I'm September.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Thanks.
How do they decide the months, anyway?
Do they look at u and go, "
You look like fall, but not like late fall?"
𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐞
Weren't u on the beat in the 98th three years back?
You were first on the scene of that tour bus.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Right. You saved that kid with glasses who was trapped.
𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐞
Yeah, he's in the sixth grade now.
He still sends me letters.
Oh, well, um... good memory.
I'm gonna go and work the room, or whatever I'm supposed to be doing.
𝐑𝐨𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚
Okay. Good luck.
