It's 10.30 on the night of January 31st.
Law enforcement from multiple agencies are gathered, hoping tonight is the night they finally break the case wide open.
They've given Anthony a clear mission.
Get Liam to confess to Sarah's murder and don't get caught.
It's late and the streets are quiet as Anthony makes his way to the spot where he and Liam agreed to meet.
Detectives have bugged Anthony's car with recording devices, including a camera hidden behind the steering wheel.
On the recording, we see glimpses of Anthony's hand on the wheel, but it's clearly angled to focus on the person soon to occupy the empty passenger seat.
The camera quality isn't high definition, and the dark cabin of the car doesn't help.
Anthony's windows are smudged or foggy in a way that makes the outside world a blur.
We only see glimpses of the homes and businesses he passes by, spotlit by the yellow streetlights.
Anthony's feeling a bit tortured about the situation he's found himself in.
This operation depends on Anthony acting natural.
That means detectives, for their part, don't want to overcomplicate an already stressful situation.
Anthony is just catching up with a friend, only with an added objective.
Ever the film buff, Anthony takes the inspiration seriously, channeling the 90s film starring Johnny Depp as an undercover agent.
He turns the radio on and tunes it to a rock station.
Rockin' Me by Steve Miller Band comes on.
The lyrics are strangely befitting for the moment.
