Shallow Ground

Stuart Dempsey:
Things haven't exactly been normal around here, you know what I'm saying?

Detective Russell:
Things haven't been normal anywhere for the last 24 hours.

Detective Russell:
Mark's dead, they found him in his patrol car this morning.

Stuart Dempsey:
Oh my God, what happened?

Detective Russell:
You remember that little junkie, Curtis Weaver?

Stuart Dempsey:
He was a dealer...yeah...what's that got to do with anything?

Detective Russell:
That's what I was hoping you could tell me.

Stuart Dempsey:
Look, the only person who knows for sure what happened to Curtis, is Curtis, and he's dead.

Detective Russell:
And that would be a problem.

Stuart Dempsey:
And how is that my problem?

Detective Russell:
Stuart, they've come to clear the books, they've come to make things right once and for all.

Stuart Dempsey:
Who?

Detective Russell:
The dead.
