[THEME MUSIC]
Hmm. Somebody's in a good mood.
Thank you, Gladys.
Sorry. I just can't
believe we're a thing.
Well Not sure I'd
really call it a thing
Hey, I get it. I'm like
you. Things are not my thing.
But here we are,
eating breakfast together again.
You know my middle name.
Kinda sounds like a thing to me.
Look Bobby Jeff
Uh the last few nights have been
So incredible, I know.
- No, that isn't what I was gonna
- I've never smiled this much.
Okay? And I smile all the time.
[PHONE BEEPS]
Um Just give me a second.
Yeah, sunshine, take
all the time you need.
[CHUCKLES] And the next thing I know,
the outboard motor's on fire
and I'm yelling at Gary to
stop, but he can't hear me.
[PHONE BUZZES]
So I go to grab the fire extinguisher
[TYPES IN PHONE]
Hey! Are you even listening?
Absolutely. You were on a
flaming boat. Keep going.
This is new territory for both of us.
So I'm happy to take this as slow,
or as fast, as you want.
And I'm not just talking
about the bedroom stuff.
Right.
Lou.
What the ? You just came from
Shane! What are the chances?
A town this size? Pretty high.
Right. Yeah. [CLEARS THROAT]
- Oh, uh
- Bobby.
We're a thing.
Oh! Nice!
- No. It's not
- Good for you.
It Th He's just Bobby.
She sometimes calls me Bobby Jeff.
[LAUGHS]
- I think it's kinda cute.
- Yeah, that is cute.
I like that.
Bobby Jeff. That's good.
Well I'll leave you to it.
And I'll see you around.
[SIGHS]
And I forgot to grab my coffee.
- [LAUGHS]
- [LAUGHING] Which is why I came!
- [LAUGHS]
- Hi again.
Nice to meet you.
Likewise.
Okay. Don't come back! [LAUGHS]
Cool dude.
See? I'm smiling again!
[SIGHS]
[BOTH LAUGH]
It's almost scary!
Love that.
Hey! Um
You know what I was thinking?
Sure would be great if we went
fishing together, you know?
I would, but the world
is headed for a total
collapse of ocean life by 2048
because of overfishing.
You know you could always
just say, "No, thanks."?
- [DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
- No, thanks.
[LOU] Hey! Sorry I'm late.
I stopped to get spark
plugs for the Mustang.
- Aw, you got that for me?
- Yeah.
Was that before or after
you had a romantic
breakfast with Bobby Dougan?
Bobby? Bobby Dougan?
Like, the lawnmower kid Bobby ?
- 'The Doogs'?
- It wasn't romantic.
What happened to Detective Carson?
I always thought you two
would be perfect together.
- No. That isn't happening.
- Why not? I like that guy.
So does she. Hence the problem.
You didn't kiss a girl till you were 20.
That's not true.
- [DOOR OPENS, SLAMS]
- 20?
That's not true.
- It's just not a good fit.
- No, they fit fine. Look.
- No, I mean you and Bobby.
- Oh, for the love of
I don't know why you
would choose 'The Doogs'
over Detective Carson.
I haven't chosen anyone.
It's because she has intimacy issues.
I do not have intimacy issues!
I'm just a busy woman!
Like girl in rom-com. Always
finding excuse to push men away.
We're not discussing this.
Can you please try the engine now?
[ENGINE SPUTTERS]
What the hell? It has to be the plugs!
[PHONE BEEPS]
Henry, you know what the problem is?
With the car or my sister?
He knows nothing about either.
Szczepkowski and Ray are
over at Culver Orchard.
An apple tree's been stolen.
They need a detective on site.
- Me!
- No. No. No. I'll go.
I know how boring cases like
that could be to a big city cop.
Exactly.
You can help us work on
the car a little longer.
There is a fruit tree missing.
We don't have a second to lose! Come on.
I'm just saying intimacy issues
are nothing to be ashamed of.
Stop saying "intimacy
issues". It's creepy.
Okay, an inability to allow
people to get close to you
socially or romantically
for fear of being hurt.
- Is that better?
- No, obviously it's worse.
And I told you, I'm just busy.
And your intimacy issues with
Dad will be studied by science.
Obviously, we have different
versions of the same issues.
That's genetics.
Genetics don't really
determine who we are.
I listened to a podcast about it.
Oh, that's never led you
wrong in the past, has it?
I mean, how else would you
explain 'we're so similar'?
Similar? You and I? That's offensive.
No offence.
Morning detectives. Sorry.
The incredible case of
the stolen apple tree.
Yeah, just the kind of dangerous
crime I signed up to fight.
This one's worth a lot of money, though.
- How much?
- Could be millions.
It's called a, uh cultivar.
A patented selectively bred apple tree.
Like Honey Crisp, or
Sugarbee, or Jazz apples.
This was the only survivor
of a crop from a 10-year
project to grow this new variety.
Designer apple tree.
So, technically, this is IP theft.
Yeah, just like any other
valuable invention, I guess.
The tree was removed
with its roots intact.
Yeah.
We spotted what appear to be
red carpet fibres in the hole.
Nice.
Probably came off the bottom
of the shoe of whoever took it.
- We'll take it to my guy.
- Who discovered the theft?
A night shift security
guard, but he's gone home.
We're getting the CCTV
footage from last night.
Who's that?
That is the botanist
and designer of the tree,
Miles Borman.
[LOU] Mr Borman? We're
detectives from the EVPD.
I was so close.
After all these years,
I thought I had finally perfected it.
And now my life's work just
gone in the blink of an eye.
I'm so sorry.
How long have you been in Eden Vale?
About five years. I
moved here from Appleton.
You literally uprooted your life's work
halfway through the breeding process?
I had no choice.
My old business partner
Bruce and I had a falling out.
Over what? If you don't mind me asking.
His lackadaisical attitude
toward fruitlegging.
'Fruitlegging'?
The trafficking of narcotics
hidden within crates of fruit.
That's pretty exciting, right?
What was it about fruitlegging
that came between you and
your former partner, Bruce?
There are thousands of
seasonal fruit workers
who come to the Central Valley each year
and a lot of them are
unsavoury characters.
Bruce took any warm body
who came through the door.
Do you think any of these workers
would've known how
valuable your tree was?
Of course. Everyone knew.
She was my pride and joy. I
talked about her all the time.
We're gonna need to get in
touch with your former partner
and get a list of all his
employees from that time.
Yes, I will do anything I can
to help you catch this monster.
This tree was my baby.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
We will find the monster
who ripped your baby
out of the ground, sir.
You can count on that.
Thank you.
[APPLE CRUNCHES]
It says here they actually breed apples
to have a higher number of cells
because they rupture when
you bite into the flesh,
releasing more juice into the mouth.
Gah. You literally make
everything sound gross.
You know what's gross?
Flouting of child labor laws.
Hey, good news, everybody!
We are less than eight hours away from
beating this year's projection
for reducing juvenile crime.
And, if we do, we are promised
a modest budget increase
by the City Council.
Ooh, can I get a new computer?
Mine is a knock-off iMac made
by a company called Arple.
How about a new coffee maker, sir?
Yeah, I repaired a crack
in the pot with duct tape
and now our coffee
tastes like burning tires.
Okay, well, let's just
get through the day first.
Until the clock runs out, I
want zero juvenile arrests.
Yes?
What about murder?
[HANK LAUGHS] Well, obviously,
there are exceptions.
But, in general,
why don't we try to think of other ways
of deterring youth crime.
Like that kid in the parking lot?
There! Great example!
Caught shoplifting a video game.
But instead of having a criminal record,
now he is under the wing of Bradley
and learning valuable lessons.
- In how to detail your car?
- Exactly.
Or manipulate statistics?
Thank you very much,
everybody, and good luck to you.
Let's go talk to my guy
about those carpet fibres.
And then bring in the night security
guard to talk about the tree.
Could be a suspect.
Let's just hope he's
not a 12-year-old boy.
Or we won't be able to arrest him.
[ENGINE SPUTTERS]
[ENGINE SPUTTERS]
We were just driving it!
Pop the hood.
Okay, what are you going to do?
Give it a stern talking to?
Maybe you should threaten to explain
how the root systems
of apple trees work.
See if that convinces her to start.
[HENRY] Try it now.
[ENGINE STARTS]
I didn't know you knew about cars.
So much about me you don't know.
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
This is your classic
70s shag pile carpet.
Synthetic polypropylene
fibres, braided together.
The Ancient Greeks invented
shag carpet, of course.
But did you know they
made it out of goat hair?
Everyone knows that.
They don't even make this anymore.
It's very rough and cheaply made.
You'd have to pay extra to
order original 70s stock online.
Did you know that?
Why would anyone order
cheap old scratchy carpet?
Hipsters like to put this stuff
wall to wall in those old 70s vans.
You know, "You see this van a
rockin', don't come knockin'."
That sort of deal.
A van?
I'd never carry it here.
I'd rather be dead than sell this.
- That seems extreme.
- Hey.
That's why he's the King.
You don't talk much, do you?
It's alright, I get it.
I'm an authority figure.
Pretty intimidating.
But, guess what?
I bet we have a lot in common.
You like trucks?
Or football?
What about TikTok?
I know a lot of cool
dance trends from TikTok.
No?
Right, I guess we're totally different.
What are you into?
- I like video games.
- Right.
'Cause you stole one of those.
I should've guessed that.
Well, you know who knows
a lot about video games?
This guy.
Officer Szczepkowski here.
This is the guy you
should be talking to.
Why don't you go pull up a chair.
See if you can get him talking.
I'm trying to get him on
the straight and narrow
- but he won't open up.
- Okay, sure thing.
Uh Okay, take a seat.
Um
Are you interested in being a
police officer when you grow up?
What do you actually do?
Well, the bulk of my duties
involve filing and data entry
But that is a backbone
of any investigation.
So you sit at your desk all day?
Okay.
You wanna see what's dangerous
and exciting about policing?
Follow me.
Okay, so This is the evidence room.
Been working on a top-secret
case with one of the detectives.
It's very hush-hush.
So if anyone asks, we were never here.
This might be a little scary.
So, if you feel faint,
or need to sit down
we should probably have a safe
word, like 'mango', or try to find
That's That is freaky, right?
I've seen way worse
playing Resident Evil.
You're looking at
real-life human remains.
This was a living person.
Yeah, but in Resident
Evil they're zombies,
so it's scarier.
- But that's just a video game
- [HANK] Where's Szczepkowski?
Sorry, sir!
I was just showing
Xavier around the station.
Alright, well, I still need
those property loss reports
I asked for by this afternoon.
Yes, sir.
Don't excite him too much.
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
Thanks again, Bill, for coming in.
Like I said, my grandson
likes to get out first thing.
And the police station's
a novelty for him.
How long you been working
security at the orchard?
15 years.
Ever since I moved here with Jenna.
That's my daughter.
This little guy's mum.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hey would you mind?
I gotta fix his formula.
And it's so much easier with two hands.
Here.
Don't look at me.
[BABY CRIES]
Please, remain calm.
Nourishment is on the way.
Where's Jenna now?
Oh. Out of town.
She's visiting friends, so
I'm taking care of Guthrie.
Come on, little fella.
She must miss that little guy.
How long has she gone?
Oh, a couple of weeks.
He has a night nurse while I'm at work.
But otherwise, it's the two of us.
Wow. Must be expensive to have
a night nurse for all that time.
I guess that's where a
grandparent comes in handy.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I gotta give him his bottle.
If I think of anything
else I'll be sure to call.
[CHUCKLES] Come on, little fella.
There we go.
Kinda strange.
Leaving a newborn for two
weeks to go visit friends?
If I had a baby I would never
leave its field of vision.
Wow. Somebody's biological
clock is ticking.
If only there was a woman
you were still in love with
who already had a baby you could dote on
if you weren't a total baby yourself.
Marci doesn't want me anymore.
[RAY] Hey.
So, we tried to get a complete
list of the orchard's employees
whose time overlapped with Mr. Borman's.
But the seasonal ones
were payed in cash.
No full names, no socials.
Well, look into the
ones you do have info on
and see if any of them drove an old van.
Copy that.
That's a longshot.
- I wanna know more about Jenna.
- Agreed.
- Let's go talk to my source.
- Wait, wait, wait.
We can't afford a new coffee machine,
but we have paid informants now?
Pssh. This isn't Seattle. We
don't need paid informants.
The girl was on drugs,
I can promise you that.
Mm-hm.
Kathy thinks everyone is on drugs.
That's true too.
Pick a side, Curtis,
for once in your life.
And I know she was on
drugs for two reasons.
One, she came into my store
asking for a gallon of
flat ceiling white paint
to retouch her doorframes.
When everyone knows you need
a high-gloss Swiss coffee.
I'm sorry. Back to Jenna. You said
And also Walt Hasbrow told me
she was mixed up with some lowlife
seasonal apple worker at that orchard.
Walt's pretty sharp.
I heard Walt Hasbrow was a drunk.
Yes, he is.
Curtis, I swear to God.
Sorry, can we just
Maree Coleman's cousin,
who isn't a drunk,
used to work there.
And she told Maree he knocked her up
and left her high and dry.
Did Maree Coleman's cousin
give a name for this guy?
Not that I know of.
Does anyone or their cousin
know where Jenna is now?
Last I heard she was at
Mercy Hospital in Green River.
An inpatient in their rehab wing.
Ooh.
Her dad lied to us.
Of course, that came from Diana Crosby.
And she bounced a
two-dollar check on me once
over a bag of three-quarter screws.
- Yes, she did.
- Oh, right!
[CURTIS] Mm-hm.
I'm starting to like this
baby's father as our thief.
He's ticking all the boxes:
into drugs, worked at an orchard.
Plus he's got a new mouth to feed.
Motive, means, opportunity.
Now we just need a name and whereabouts.
Which means we need to talk to Jenna.
Still looking for that van,
but also, you're needed
in the interview room.
- Me? What for?
- I'm not at liberty to say.
Hmm. Intriguing. I'll
catch Dad up on the case.
Pretty sure you're not
supposed to be in here.
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
What's this about?
Cars.
You know more than you say.
Why hide it from your father?
I don't know what you mean.
Ever since you come home,
your father has been
moody and irritational,
like small baby.
All he wants is connection with his boy.
Yet you refuse.
Is affecting our relationship.
- Especially in the bedroom.
- Okay!
I'm just gonna stop you there.
In this country torture is illegal.
Henry, why not help him fix his car?
You would make him so happy.
He's been fixing that car
since I was small baby.
It's a never-ending project.
I can't afford that
kind of father-son time.
Then find some other way.
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
[IN RUSSIAN]
And since the father wasn't
listed on the birth certificate,
we have to find another
way to track this guy down.
Wow. Good work, sweetheart.
Well, as soon I saw that baby
and heard the mum was out of town
I knew something was up.
What single mother leaves her baby
for weeks with its grandfather?
You sure wouldn't.
You would be a great mum,
if you ever stopped playing games
and would settle with somebody.
- And I don't mean Bobby Dougan.
- Dad.
We are talking about grand larceny here,
not me and babies.
Yeah, I know. I'm just saying.
Well, you've been "just
saying" all morning.
- Can we please talk about work?
- Okay.
Why doesn't your brother
wanna spend any time with me?
- Dad!
- What? That's work.
You work with him, he works for me.
Work talk.
Okay, fine.
I agree that getting this
Jenna girl to talk is key.
But it's gonna be tough.
Baby daddy situation.
Nine times out of ten
the woman doesn't wanna talk to the cops
'cause she doesn't wanna
incriminate her lover, so
So
I go undercover.
As a patient at rehab.
I get close to Jenna, get
her to open up that way.
Wouldn't you be recognised?
The hospital's all
the away in Green River
and there's nobody there from
Eden Vale there, I checked.
Think you can pull it off?
You saw me play Abigail
Williams in The Crucible
in seventh grade so you tell me.
You were so good, honey.
I've always wanted to do this.
I can't believe it
- my first undercover assignment!
What?
She gets to go undercover?
What about me? I should
- I mean, I could go
- No, no, no. No.
That's not necessary.
Besides, it would look suspicious.
How? No-one could know we're related.
Pfft! But what about genetics?
According to you we're so similar.
Actually, you can't go.
Because you'll be with me.
- At the gun range.
- The gun What? Why?
Because you need to
get your county firearm certificate.
You've been gone so long it's lapsed
and it needs to be renewed.
Nobody told me that.
Well, I'm telling you
now. And it's urgent.
It'll give you two a chance
to spend some time together.
I'm really busy.
No, it's non-negotiable, Detective.
Guess we're hitting the gun range.
Attaboy.
Shoplifting.
Probably looking for an
adrenaline fix. Am I right?
But you know what the greatest
rush of all is, Xavier?
Being of service.
Working toward a common goal to
make the world a better place.
You go chasing that high
without purpose and discipline
you could find yourself
in a world of trouble
in the blink of an eye.
Same thing I drilled
into all of my troops.
You were a drill Sergeant?
I'm talking about my
Junior Mountaineers.
But I've seen things
you wouldn't believe.
[WOMAN, TYPING ON
COMPUTER] Okay, Claire.
This all looks in order.
I just need to do a final
verbal check of why you're here.
- Opiates.
- I'm sorry?
Pain pills. Got hooked on
'em after my back surgery.
My life's been a train wreck ever since.
- Lost my job
- That's not what I meant.
Started stealing from my mum.
Finally hit rock bottom
when they found me passed
out on an airport runway.
Airplane almost landed on me.
Flights had to be diverted,
the whole place shut down.
I'm asking you to verify
if you're here for
outpatient or inpatient care?
Oh.
Inpatient care.
Thank you.
- [PHONE RINGS]
- Hello, inpatient care.
Sir, I know you're her boyfriend,
but calls to patients are
permitted between 4 and 5pm only.
I'll give Jenna your message. Goodbye.
OK, I just need you to sign here.
You know, I could give that
patient the message for you
if you just give me her
boyfriend's name and number.
Why would she need her own
boyfriend's name and number?
Right.
Right. [SIGHS]
Sorry. It's the pills, man.
I don't even know what I'm saying.
Your treatment navigator
will come find you soon.
[WOMAN] counselling, Jenna
Hey, newbie!
I'm busting out tonight
and you're coming with.
- [DOOR BEEPS]
- What? What?
There's a space under the back gate.
We just gotta steal some sleeping pills,
put them in the nurse's
yogurt, and we're home free.
[SIGHS]
[ALARM BLARES]
Code red! Lock down Ward Two!
I need you to sit down with
your back against the wall.
[LAUGHS] Oh, damn!
New girl's got stones!
[ALARM BLARES]
[BANG! BANG! BANG!]
Eh. Barrel must be out of alignment.
That's one explanation.
Hey. You know, this could be our thing.
Father and son, gun range practice.
We could use the time to spitball
ideas about better policing.
Like not arresting juveniles
to fix your stats to win cash
prizes from the City Council?
[BANG! BANG! BANG!]
Just not my day.
You know what the 'p'
in the EVPD means to me?
I wanna say 'police'
but I feel like you're
gonna say something else.
- People.
- Okay.
You might think it's all about stats,
but people's perception of
Eden Vale is just as important.
You take this guy Gary. My
friend with the motor boat.
[PHONE RINGS]
He was having a hell of a time
with this moose that
kept wandering on
Why are you never here?
[LOU, ON PHONE] I've
located Jenna, but
I'm doin' the best I can, man!
You better have my money
when I get outta here!
I swear to God!
I'm going to go ahead and assume
your first undercover
job is not going great.
Okay, for your information,
I am killing it.
The receptionist took a
call from Jenna's boyfriend
but she wouldn't give me his name.
I know the time of the call
and that she typed his name
and number into the system
You can't access their system
without blowing your cover.
Exactly.
But I can.
- No, that's not why I'm calling.
- I'm on my way.
Wait, wait. You can't just leave.
You have to pass your certification.
Think I just did.
You were saying?
We don't have time for
you to get a warrant.
Doctors don't need warrants.
No. No. Henry.
You can't just throw on a lab coat
and pretend to be a doctor.
Pretty sure I can.
7B has presence of
occult blood in his stool
confirming my original diagnosis.
No surprise his wife's
demanding additional scans
that are costly and irrelevant.
Ten seconds on Google
and they all think they
can accurately diagnose
intestinal ischemia
or choledocholithiasis.
[CHUCKLES]
Moriarty. Gastroenterology.
Tanner. Also Gastroenterology.
Well it's nice to
meet a fellow stomach man.
[WHISPERS] Choledocholithiasis.
Nailed it!
Once you've got the
cross and the corners
you're on easy street.
Yeah?
C'mon, man. You're not timing me.
Why are you showing me this?
I'm supposed to be teaching you stuff.
I thought you could show your friends.
Oh. Right. My, um
my friends.
What, you don't have any friends?
No, not here.
My mum got a stupid new job
and we had to leave Arizona.
Ah. Arizona. Land of Enchantment.
That's New Mexico.
Well.
Wait, so is that why you shoplifted?
Trying to make friends in a new place?
I know that's why I did it.
You shoplifted?
Yeah. Once.
I wasn't much older than you.
Transferred schools midyear.
I didn't know anybody.
What did you steal?
A bunch of refrigerator magnets
from the museum gift shop.
I was on a field trip
and I was trying to
impress these older kids.
And they dared me to eat
a bunch of them, and I did.
But the magnets got stuck
together in my intestines
and I had to go to the hospital.
But here's the thing, the
doctor never called the police,
because she knew I wasn't a bad kid.
I was just lonely.
I just had to figure out
how to connect with people
without perforating my insides.
Well, I don't know what
'perforating' means,
but it sounds bad.
Oh. It's really bad, Xavier.
So, how did you make friends?
By being a people person.
Seeing what's good in people.
Finding something you both like to do
and doing it together.
Think you can do that next time
instead of breaking the law?
Mm-hmm.
Shake on it?
Oof!
Great!
Alright, now go empty
everyone's trash can.
Mum, Mum, Mum.
First of all, it's not my fault
that Zac was watching Saw IV.
I specifically told him
that one was one of the
worst ones in the franchise.
Second of all,
even if we could arrest a 13-year-old
for watching an R-rated movie,
we're not allowed to arrest
any juvenile offenders
until six PM tonight,
by order of the Chief.
You can't ground me.
Mum!
[TYPES IN PHONE]
I thought things might change
when I had the baby, but
they got worse.
That loser doesn't
deserve to be a father.
Not to my little boy.
Thank you, Jenna.
Anyone else have something
that they'd like to share?
Claire?
Oh, well
I think maybe Jenna should continue.
She seemed to be getting somewhere.
Sharing our trauma is
key to our recovery.
This is a safe space.
Well
My parents split up when I was a kid.
Aw. Mummy and daddy got a divorce.
Is that what made you a drug addict?
I didn't said that, exactly.
Did your dad ever
sever your ulnar artery
with a Chinese throwing star
when he was wasted with his buddies?
Did your mum ever try to give you a bath
in a front-loading washing
machine when she was high?
Wow, that's
Shannon.
I'm sorry, that's awful.
But I didn't tell you the best part.
How I found out they were splitting up.
My mum went on a ski trip
with some girlfriends to Lake Tahoe.
And then she called me
from a chalet pay phone.
And she told me she
was never coming back.
She was divorcing my dad.
And because I was home
alone when she called
she said I had to break it to him.
And to my little brother.
She said it was gonna
be too hard for her
to have that conversation
two more times.
I was 11.
I was so nervous to tell my dad that
I threw up first.
I remember telling myself
"You better toughen up, girl.
You can't let anybody hurt
you like that ever again."
And I never have.
[WOMAN] Wow.
What an amazing breakthrough.
Claire, I'd really like to
punch your mum in the face.
Thank you.
Lola, is it?
Dr. Moriarty, Gastroenterology.
You're needed in Ward 7.
In 12 years, never once have
I been summoned to a ward.
Well, medicine, it is a
wild frontier. Isn't it?
There's a first time for everything.
[TYPES QUICKLY]
What are you doing?
Just
checking if the diagnosis
for one of my patients
is correct.
In the phone log?
Yes. One of the contacts
from her file was missing.
We've been discussing
Mr. Sanchez in room 5A.
I trust you're familiar
with his condition?
Yes. Sanchez, 5A.
Of course. It's an interesting case.
I'd like to continue
administering warfarin
during his treatment for DVT.
However, I am concerned
about his history of Afib
and am considering rivaroxaban
as a more appropriate
anti-coagulation prophylaxis.
What do you think we should do?
Well, warfarin
administration has its risks.
And since I'm not the
lead doctor on the case
I know you're not,
but I'd like to hear the
opinion of a fellow expert.
What do you propose?
I
propose we avoid the
dangers of a malpractice suit
by bringing in an outside professional
and washing our hands
of any potential blame.
That's what I was thinking too.
Whatever gets us back
on the golf course.
[CHUCKLES]
What you said in the session,
that was really brave.
Thanks. You too.
Tears a hole, doesn't it?
When someone you thought loved you
just treats you like you're nothing.
Your baby's father Who is he?
I don't mean to pry.
I'm just trying to understand
what you've been through.
He's the kinda guy that only
cares about getting rich quick.
And me having his kid kinda
got in the way of that.
So, screw him.
- You know?
- Yeah.
And where is
There you are!
Sorry about before, but we need to talk.
Figure out the plan for tonight.
The crow flies at sunset.
Uh no.
[PHONE RINGS]
Hi, EVPD. Would you mind holding?
- Hi. How can I help you?
- It's our automatic gate.
Some kids jammed a bunch
of rocks into its track
and derailed it.
So now it's stuck in the open position.
Okay, so, another report of vandalism.
They're very expensive gates
made from ethically sourced timber.
To be clear,
that is not the main
reason we're reporting this.
Oh, no, we're just concerned
about our town's young
people going the wrong path.
You young people are so important.
You're our most vital natural resource.
Okay, if you go sit down
someone will be with you shortly.
Sit down?
Hi, ma'am, you wanna
report a robbery? Mm-hm.
- Do you mind holding again?
- What the hell is going on?
Kids are on a mini crime spree.
Statues are being vandalised,
dumpsters are on fire,
kids stealing candy
from the gas station!
It's the juvie 'Purge'!
It's like they know
they can't be arrested.
Wait a minute.
Where's Xavier?
[WHISPERS] Hey! I've
been looking for you.
Hey.
[BOTH] You look ridiculous.
So, I got through to Jenna.
She said her baby's
father abandoned them
because, quote, "all he cares
about is getting rich quick."
How'd you get her to open up?
I made up some sob story in
group therapy that won her over.
Anyway, all the pieces fit
but we still don't have a name.
Yes, we do.
Dave Schneider, he lives in Birch Creek,
and Ray just called to say
she found a van on CCTV.
- Guess who it's registered to?
- Dave Schneider?
I'm guessing it's got carpet.
Uh Just give me the pills, doc!
Please calm down
or I'll place you in the safety room.
- Being undercover is super fun.
- I kinda don't wanna go back.
- See you later.
- Okay.
David Schneider?
Detectives Hickman and
Hickman, Eden Vale PD.
Nice carpet. For a van.
Extra padding so the
apples don't bruise?
David Schneider, you are under
arrest for drug trafficking
and theft of intellectual property.
Theft of what?
Miles Borman's Golden Zest apple tree.
What did you do? Sell
it to a competitor?
Someone stole Miles' tree?
Last night you broke in and you took it.
We have footage of your van at the scene
and we found its carpet
fibres in the cage.
Last night I was in Vancouver!
I have been all week. I have proof.
Then why was your van there?
Did you lend it to somebody?
- Who'd you lend it to, Dave?
- Wait a minute.
He's not our guy. He's not
the baby's father, anyway.
He has blue eyes and so does Jenna.
And that's a big deal because ?
Our old friend genetics.
The baby has brown eyes.
The chances of two blue-eyed parents
producing a brown-eyed baby
are statistically insignificant.
Well, who's the baby's father?
And who stole the tree?
You know who has brown eyes?
Miles Borman is your
baby's father, isn't he?
That's why they both have brown eyes.
Dave and I broke up.
I finally saw him for who he really was.
Miles found me upset,
and he took care of me.
He invited me over, he listened
and then
- We're not judging you at all.
- Not for that, anyway.
So wait.
You made up all that stuff
about your mum in group therapy?
No.
What stuff?
Uh please, go on, Jenna.
Miles had always been nice to me.
Even when I was messed up on drugs.
I thought maybe he really did like me.
But I was an idiot
to think he'd care about our baby.
He already had one.
That stupid tree.
It's all he talked about, how
it was gonna make him millions.
So, you stole it as revenge?
When I told him I was pregnant
he gave me a measly three grand,
then made me sign an agreement
saying that we had no
claim to his estate.
He made it sound like I'd tricked him
into getting me pregnant
so I could trap him.
I told you, he doesn't
deserve to be a father.
Not even to a tree.
How did you do it?
I called Dave
and I asked if I could borrow
his van while he was away.
But he didn't know
what I was going to do.
And I snuck out of here.
I know I did the wrong thing.
But how could Miles treat
his own child that way?
You could spend your whole life
trying to figure that one out.
Am I going to jail?
[SIGHS]
For what?
Sounds to me like the work
of anonymous fruitleggers.
- What?
- What?
Probably working for a rival company,
wanted to destroy the competition,
keep a tree off the market.
Case closed, as far as I'm concerned.
Only question is
what happened to the tree?
Any ideas?
I think they probably planted it.
Somewhere where people
who are having a rough time
could enjoy the apples for free.
You really surprised me today.
I told you I'd easily pass for a doctor.
People naturally trust me.
I mean letting Jenna off the hook.
- You disapprove?
- No.
I'm just curious as to why.
Well, babies need as much
love and care as they can get.
So what's worse?
Bending the rules to cut
a young mum some slack?
Or giving her a criminal record
that jeopardises her son's future?
[LOU] Oh, the greater good?
That sounds a like a move
from the Big Hank playbook.
What? No, that's not
I'm not saying you
two are exactly alike,
but, you know, genetics.
Me turning a blind eye because
it's the right thing to do
and Dad gaming the system
to make himself look better
are two very different things.
Okay. If you say so.
You were right about us, though.
Yeah, I think in some
ways maybe we are alike.
Maybe I need to work on
letting people in a little more.
Maybe?
So do you. With Dad.
[HENRY] What's going on around here?
You go to rehab for five minutes
and all hell breaks loose!
You go ahead, I've
gotta make a quick call.
Okay.
[WOMAN, ON PHONE] Please
leave a message after the tone.
Hey, Mum, it's Lou
Hickman, your first child.
We last spoke the day after my birthday.
Um It's 5:30 my time.
I have some things I need to say.
[CHILDREN LAUGH AND CHEER]
[RAY, ON RADIO] Bradley, do you copy?
Copy, Ray, I'm here.
Good news.
Time is officially up
so we can start arresting
these little sons of
these juveniles again.
Over.
Copy, Ray. Stand by.
This is Bradley, I'm
pursuing two juvenile taggers.
Offenders are on foot,
and appear to be friends.
Repeat, friends. Over.
[SIREN BLARES]
[ENGINE PURRS]
It was the alternator.
What did you do?
Fixed it, is all you need to know.
So, the job's done.
No, wait. It's not done.
I mean gotta have new
paint and the bumpers, right?
The brand-new stereo?
Huh?
We'll get to all that.
Yeah.
