Oh, we ain't friends? No! Yeah... Wait a minute. Hold on. See, I just... You know, I came here to ask you about somebody who's a mutual friend. So that's gotta count for something, right?

Did he come in here, maybe last week, looking to... you know, make a purchase from you, did he?

He didn't do that, no. No, that doesn't make sense at all.

Look, I'm just happy that you're okay, and that this didn't turn into a shootout or something. It's kinda hard for it to escalate into a shootout when you don't have a gun. Like you ain't got a gun. That's funny. No. Like, I'm not a gun guy.

Even I have a gun. And I live in the nice part of Brooklyn. Do you know that most gunshot wounds are self-inflicted? Statistically speaking, you're safer without one. Not when you're in a drug house investigating a murder. Did you at least find anything?

Yeah, but it's nothing good. All right. So, I hacked into the medical examiner's database and I pulled the initial toxicology report.

The cops might have been right. Looks like he OD'd.

Wait a minute. There's no way that Karim could've done this to himself.

The concentration levels are too high. He would've OD'd before he even finished using.
