Suddenly, the trio is left to clean up the aftermath. The first instinct is to call 9-1-1, but Coop urges them to reconsider: He almost went to jail in Season 1 after being set up for murder, and that time he hadn’t even been in the room. But the evidence appears stacked against him, even though none of them killed Ashe. They decide to dispose of the body in the lake, and clean up the house and wipe it of any evidence. As they’re carrying Ashe out, Sam (Olivia Munn) walks through the door—she’d been planning to break up with Ashe. Coop just about manages to talk her out of calling the police, and she leaves Ashe’s house.Â
As Coop, Nick, and Barney drive Ashe’s body to the lake, they’re in for a surprise: Ashe isn’t dead. He wakes up and freaks out, picking a violent fight with everyone in the car. “One of my favorite scenes was the car fight,” says Laing. “I watched a lot of YouTube Car-Jitsu fights that really helped influence the way we shot.” (For the uninitiated, Car-Jiutsu is a combat sport where people fight using jiu-jitsu in the limited confines of a vehicle). In the chaos of the fight, the car swerves into the lake, sending the four men into the water. While Cooper, Barney, and Nick escape the car, Ashe doesn’t, and he drowns, truly dead this time. On land, the trio realizes Ashe is in the back seat, so they go back underwater to put him in the front seat so that if he’s found, it’ll look like he’d been on his own. Now, they are legitimately responsible for Ashe’s death.
