## Series

### Season 1

In a subway, Damian records a TikTok video about making a new off-menu sandwich. After filming, he takes the sandwich to Sara and picks a quarter from her map to scratch off a lottery ticket. If he wins he promises to take her to Hawaii. They talk as Jed smudges frost off the fridge door to see her face. He checks out and invites her to watch the meteor shower with him from Abe's roof. Damian politely turns him down on both of their behalf and Jed leaves. Damian asks Sara if Jed is bothering her, mentioning that his has a keen sense of knowing when someone is bad. It kept him alive.

Damian watches Jed climb onto the roof from his spot at the subway counter. He takes a knife from the Subway rack and walks over, just as Jed is watching Sara with his binoculars. Damian has one of his beers and Jed asks about Sara, who isn't coming. Damian has seen him watching her. Jed can see everything from up there like a God. He points out a truck that is parked further away than the others. He thinks the driver has something to hide. Damian points out Jed's perception and how it could be of use in the military, but Jed isn't interested in enlisting. Damian's not trying to recruit him but it did show him how big the world is. He knows it's easy to obsess over things and tells Jed to leave Sara alone, as he's creeping her out. Jed thinks if she had a problem with him that she would tell him.

This upsets Jed who screams at him that Damian might be the one who's creeping her out. They argue until Jed steps toward Damian, who grabs him and holds him still. He understands the monotony - he did paperwork and inventory in the marines where days just blurred together. It feels like there's no way out and no future. Jed admits to thinking about hiding in the back of the cars he fixes and escaping before anyone notices. Damian is sure he'll make it out someday. They watch the meteor shower and talk about luck. Damian put work into his TikToks, not luck, and the chaos is just everything else like the lottery ticket he begins scratching off. He does it because it's fun and it's a moment that makes Sara smile. He stops mid-sentence. He just won $25,000. Jed pushes him off the roof and stares up at the meteors.

Jed climbs down from the roof to find Damian's body on the ground. He picks up the lottery ticket and Damian, who is still alive, uses the subway knife to slice Jed's ankle. Jed grabs a crowbar and beats Damian to death. He uses the material around him to cover up the crime. He pushes the body across the street using a dolly, unaware of the convenience store cameras. He puts the body in the back of the truck and hits Damian again with the crowbar. He tosses it into the back with the body, then returns to the mechanic shop to cover everything up again. He picks up the knife Damian used and finds his apron, returning both to the Subway. He watches the trucker walk to her vehicle and find the broken lock. She opens the back and finds Damian. She gets in her truck and drives to the front of the mechanic shop, unloading his body out front and running away. Jed turns on the cameras so it records the trucker committing the act. He calls the police to report he just saw a murder.

A few hours before his murder, he serves Charlie Cale a new sandwich that he's testing. The next day, Charlie learns that he was murdered by her new friend Marge. She decides to solve his murder and does just that with some help from his friend Sara.
