Stumptown (2019) s01e05 Episode Script
Bad Alibis
1 Previously on "Stumptown" I'm coming out of a long-term thing.
What, like parole? - How long were you guys together? - Four years.
But also, I really did do time.
I need to get my 1,500 hours of apprenticeship so I can be certified here in Oregon.
You're green, but you could be good, Dex.
Why is Hoffman asking about you and a dead guy named Jack Feeney? Feeney was in prison with Grey McConnell.
Guess who else was on his tier.
Wallace Kane.
Feeney ends up dead.
A week later, Kane breaks out.
I need a whiskey and a good chiropractor.
Kane is planning something here in Portland.
He's got some unfinished business.
- How do you know this? - Because I'm in his head! Do you remember that trip to Hawaii that you wouldn't shut up about? Take it.
I put Wallace Kane away.
If I was under his thumb, I'd be afraid.
Aah! [GRUNTING.]
You owe me a half a million dollars.
[AIR HORN BLOWS.]
[SPORTS ANNOUNCER SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY.]
[WHISTLE BLOWS.]
Don't say it.
- You look funny.
- [CHUCKLES.]
Finish your Pop-Tarts, okay? Blueberry is better.
Well, pumpkin was on sale.
Why are you dressed like that? I'm trying to look professional.
I have a very important meeting today.
With who? Uh, Janet Withers, um, from the DPSST, the Department of Public something or something, whatever.
So you can be a P.
I.
? Yeah.
Yeah.
If I get my certification, that means blueberry Pop-Tarts all day, any day.
- Okay, can you turn this off? - [VIDEO GAME BEEPS, CONTROLLER CLATTERS.]
I'm gonna drop you off at the bar.
Did you try Grey to let him know we're on our way? - He didn't pick up.
- Okay.
Well, he's probably busy.
He always picks up.
We'll try him on the way, all right? Come on.
So, we got to break into the vault and then bust into the safe? That's a two-day job.
Right, Grey? How should I know? I haven't even seen the thing.
I'm not going back to prison for Kane.
Will you guys help me if I pump the brakes here? Hell, yeah.
This is nuts.
Come on, Grey.
Back us up on this thing.
Come on.
Both of you guys chill.
Look, you know I got no beef with you, but I'm looking out for myself.
Gentlemen we're in business.
10 years ago, I started a beautiful tunnel.
Amazingly, it's still intact.
So, basically, we are on the 5-yard line.
We will be in Las Vegas by midnight, at which point in time, I will be in libertine mode.
[JACKHAMMER RATTLES IN DISTANCE.]
What? The boys and I have been talking.
I love where this is headed.
Why're we rushing this thing? Ugh! [GRUNTING.]
[HANK COUGHS, GROANS.]
Good question.
The reason we're rushing is because I'm an escaped convict, and it's not really in my best interest to spend too much time in any one location.
I mean, I would love to just chill here in Portland for a few weeks, hit up some microbreweries, but that's just not in the cards.
So, anyone else have anything to share with the group? Comments? Concerns? Greyson? Are you done shaking your ass, man? 'Cause apparently, I got a job to do, and I'd like to do it.
I'm sick of watching this.
He's the only one I let talk to me like that.
I don't know why.
Move your ass.
[SIREN WAILS.]
[LOCK DISENGAGES.]
Grey.
Grey.
Grey, are you here? Well, he probably overslept.
Let me call him.
- [CELLPHONE CHIMES.]
- Oh, look, I have a voicemail from him.
You never check your messages.
GREY: Dex, I hate to lay this on you, but I had an emergency.
M-My aunt in Houston is really sick.
I had to catch a flight last minute.
Look, can you watch the bar until I get back? A few days, tops.
Your brother will show you what to do.
- Please.
I owe you.
- [SIGHS.]
Aunt? What aunt? He has a He has a cousin in Tacoma, an uncle in, um in Connecticut, but I've never heard of an aunt in Houston.
We open in an hour.
"We"? Buddy, I have an interview to go to, okay? I need help.
Yeah.
Okay.
Uh, maybe Janet Withers can come here.
Right? So, what should we do first? - Work.
- Work.
Okay.
Stools? Yes.
[METAL SCRAPING.]
[METAL THUDS.]
[GRUNTS.]
In case I neglected to mention, it's good to see you.
I mean, you could have called first.
[CHUCKLES.]
Next time.
Oh, there's not gonna be a next time.
That's what I'm saying.
As soon as I crack this safe, I'm done.
Fair enough.
Though, I do find it strange you're about to break into a vault and you don't even ask what's in it.
'Cause I don't care what's in it.
I do.
That's why I only hire the best guys for the job.
That is every single toy you asked for.
[DIALING.]
[CELLPHONE BEEPS.]
[LINE RINGING.]
[CLICK.]
So far, so good with us.
You? Yeah.
I'm here.
Grey gives you any trouble, just let me know.
All right.
Sharkey, can you put that wherever you're supposed to? SHARKEY: Yep.
Got it.
- Hello.
- Hey.
Can I get you something? Yeah.
I've got some time to kill.
Mm.
Spicy Bloody, extra horseradish, three olives.
Yep.
Coming right up.
Thanks.
[PEN CLICKS.]
DARIUS: I think he knows.
HOFFMAN: We would have heard something if Kane was suspicious.
I'm scared.
I'm scared.
Darius, shake that off, man.
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
[SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE.]
DETECTIVE LEE: Here.
I appreciate this.
Cosgrove finds out you are not in Hawaii and that I knew, I could lose my job.
- Your secret's safe with me.
- Yeah.
What's the latest on Kane? [SIGHS.]
Marshals are convinced that he's in Canada.
They're coordinating efforts with the CSIS and the RCMP.
- That doesn't add up.
- I know.
He has no money, no resources.
All of his connections are here in Portland.
- [SIGHS.]
- What about McConnell? Yeah, he wasn't at the bar.
Some lady was running the place.
I've seen her at the station.
- Dax? - Dex? - Yeah.
- Did you talk to her? I got my own work to do, Miles.
I'm not even supposed to be here.
Neither are you.
[LINE RINGS.]
[CELLPHONE BEEPS.]
Grey never turns his phone off.
Something's up.
It's from Edgar.
- Who's Edgar? - The chef.
- He quit? - He quit.
Okay.
Well, it's burgers and fries.
How hard can that be, right? I just wanna treat you better We need a new chef.
WOMAN: [SINGING IN SPANISH.]

C.
J.
McCollum from the Blazers I know who he is, dummy.
He just liked us on Insta.
Seriously? Yeah.
You know what I heard? The food critic from The Outlook I guess that's a newspaper? Yes, it's a newspaper.
What about him? I heard he might be sniffing around here, looking to do a review.
You're blowing up, dude.
[CHUCKLES.]
I've outgrown this place.
- Don't say it.
- I'm saying it.
How can I spread my wings when I can barely fit inside this fishbowl? [INHALES SHARPLY.]
That's two things, but you get my meaning.
[CELLPHONE VIBRATES, RINGS.]
What's up, Dex? MAN: [RAPPING IN SPANISH.]
[EXHALES SHARPLY.]
Oh, Took.
- Oh.
Bless you.
- TOOKIE: [CHUCKLES.]

These are the ingredients that are gonna take me from a taco truck to my own restaurant [SNIFFS.]
To the cover of Food & Wine mag.
Okay.
That's great.
I just You know, I need you to grill the burgers and fry the fries.

Steel plates, reinforced concrete.
Which means? It's cross your fingers I'll be done in four hours.
That's what it means.
Can you just blow the damn thing? - [GRINDING STOPS.]
- Look, if the charges aren't set right, they're gonna be cleaning our bodies off the floor with a squeegee.
You understand? I mean, how many of these have we done together, man? Five? Six? Since when did you get the shakes? When I had a kid.
- You had a kid? - A girl.

Aren't we all? [CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY.]
Hey, what are you having? If it's, uh, beer or wine, there's a 90% chance I'm gonna get it right.
I'm looking for Dex Parios? - [TAP SPUTTERS.]
- Sorr Uh, yes, that's me.
I'm Janet Withers, DPSST.
I'm here for your certification interview.

- [CHUCKLES.]
- Just not on the job.
Of course.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? - No.
- Do you associate with anyone who's been convicted of a felony? No.
Why do you want to be a private investigator? What? It's a simple question.
Surely you've thought about it.
Yeah.
Of Of course I have.
Um, uh, deeply, I've considered it.
Um I just, uh I really like helping people? - Is that a question? - Um 'Cause when you're parked outside a cheap motel on the interstate six hours into an all-night stakeout, your bladder's about to explode, your pee bottle's full, and you're fresh out of adult diapers, your car smells like the five-day-old chalupa you lost under your seat, your last client stiffed you, and you don't know where the next one's coming from, I can assure you, you will be asking yourself the same question "Why the hell would I want to be a private investigator?" [CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY.]
Uh I know I'm supposed to have a good answer, but I don't.
Um The truth is, I, um I drink a little bit too much sometimes.
Um, my best friend is a felon, and I haven't been able to hold down a real job in about 10 years.
But this? This, I'm I'm good at.
I-I-I don't know why, but I but I am.
And you seem pretty cynical about the whole thing, and maybe one day, I will be, too, but, um [SIGHS.]
From where I'm sitting right now, that chalupa is smelling pretty damn good.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING.]
Let's turn the lights down Yeah.
Wrong answer.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
It was honest.
Oh, oh-oh Let's turn the lights down I have everything I need.
And we'll have an answer soon.
So, thank you for your time.
Thank you for coming down.
[SIGHS.]
Oh, my God.
[CELLPHONE RINGING.]
[CELLPHONE BEEPS.]
COSGROVE: Miles.
Oh, hey, Lieutenant.
How's Hawaii? Yeah, no, I just got in.
It's, um It's something else.
Yeah, it's, uh Wow.
I c I know it sounds cliché, but, uh, yeah, this place is paradise.
- [KNOCK ON DOOR.]
- You really deserve this trip, Miles.
Yeah, no.
Uh, look, if I could, I'd, uh I really wish I could show you this view.
It's, uh Whew.
Maybe I'll take a picture and send it to you 'cause it - [CELLPHONE BEEPS.]
- Damn it.
- Aloha.
- [CELLPHONE BEEPS.]
Lieutenant.
Did I think you were gonna go to Hawaii? No.
What I did believe is that you'd have enough faith in me to know that I was looking out for you.
Let me put this guy back in prison.
Are you listening to what I'm saying? Did you just come here to scold me? No.
I came to take your badge.
- Are you serious? - You've been digging around.
The brass found out.
I told you.
I answer to people, too.
So I'm supposed to just walk away? You're under review, Miles.
Your badge is on the line.
You go anywhere near this case, and you could lose it.
- [MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYING.]
- [SNIFFS.]
Adobo.
- Vinegar.
- MAN: Hey.
You see who that is? The acid is on point.
I'm impressed.

C.
J.
McCollum king of the mid-range, also the host of the "Pull Up" podcast.
- I'm a fan.
- That's love.
I appreciate that.
But I love food as much as I love hooping.
[CRUNCHING.]
Is this venison? Goat.
The cheek.
It's the most tender cut.
There's something unusual in here.
Braised in beer from a local brewery.
This is a cold-blooded dagger off the pick-and-roll.
- [CHUCKLES.]
- Respect, bro.
I, sir, am humbled.
You mind if I out this on the 'Gram? Gotta get Dame to come through, too.
Yeah.
And tag me on Insta.
- I need the likes.
- [CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING.]
I got you.
DENTON: Hey, listen.
I want my cut before we leave this place.
That was the deal.
And I'm a man of my word.
[EXHALES DEEPLY.]
[GROANS.]
[TOOLS THUD.]
When Denton's done, he's done.
I'll need help with disposal.
No.
I'm not killing anyone.
Hey.
The reason I don't give him his cut up front is because you and Feeney blew the money.
So you'll do what I ask when I ask it.
Or I'll have to take something very dear from you.
[GROANS.]
I've got to have it Hey, buddy, what do you think? Five letters young oak.
"Acorn.
" "Acorn"? Nice.
Hi.
Hey.
How's it going? [EXHALES SHARPLY.]
Pretty rough.
I just had my P.
I.
certification interview, and I blew it.
Oh, don't sweat it.
I got a job for you.
It's a missing-persons case.
He's in the wind, and I need to find him.
Who? Grey.
[EXHALES HEAVILY.]
Are you serious? Completely.
That bald dude I'm pretty sure he's the guy, the Outlook restaurant critic.
I need you tending bar.
Okay.
Okay, let me, uh, get this clear.
You want me to spy on my best friend? No, not spy.
I just want you to help me find out where he is.
Okay.
Well, that's easy.
[TAPS TABLE.]
[GLASSES CLINKING.]
Hey, Ansel.
Where's Grey? Visiting his sick aunt in Houston.
There you go.
Yes.
Case closed.
You owe me $500.
Uh, do you really think he went to Houston? Can I show you something real quick? What is it? Uh, the door.
Get out.
[SIGHS.]
Give me 20 minutes back at my apartment.
Please.
I'm serious.
If you care about Grey, you're gonna wanna see what I have to show you.
Kane protected Grey and Jack Feeney in prison.
Word from inside is that both Grey and Feeney owed Kane for that protection.
Feeney ends up dead.
Two days later, Kane escapes.
Now, I strongly believe that Grey is with Kane right now on a job.
[SIGHS.]
So you want me to help find Grey so you can arrest him? I don't care about Grey.
I want Kane.
I told you that he killed one of my C.
I.
s 10 years ago.
He had a wife and a one-month-old baby.
You have to find Grey.
Now.
Don't make me put that back up, please.
Okay.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohh-oh Tell him this is a churro taco soufflé with cajeta tapioca cream and piloncillo syrup.
Churro.
Got it.
And finally a soupçon, as they say in culinary circles, of my special magic sauce.
Now, you wanna wait until he takes a bite to make sure he's all good.
But don't let on that you know he's a food critic.
If he knows we know that he knows we know, - he won't review us.
- Give me the plate.
Wait Go.
Ohhh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohh-oh Just like that Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohh-oh Ohh, oh-oh When I smile to disguise That looks good.
Thanks, buddy.
Hey, real quick, kid.
Five letters Bert's bud.
Ernie.
You're good.
You like it? Love it.
Say, you're friends with Grey, right? This tug of war within my soul Although silent This will initiate the reaction.
And then we're gonna need 15 feet of clearance for safety.
You're the expert.
And, look, about, uh, Denton let me talk to him, okay? I'm sure he's just a little on edge, like everybody else, but you don't have to take him out.
All right.
I appreciate it.
- [CLICK.]
- [DIALING.]
[LINE RINGING.]
[CELLPHONE VIBRATES, BEEPS.]
- Hey.
- KANE: Looks like we're gonna need - a little insurance.
- Mm-hmm.
We need to make sure Grey cooperates.
Yeah.
I'll take care of it.
[MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYING.]
[CRUNCH.]
[SIGHS.]
This feels weird, snooping around in Grey's office with you.
I'm just a client.
Well, I wouldn't bring my client on a job.
Except this client just happens to be a cop.
- Yeah.
Who I've also hooked up with.
- Your point being? That it feels weird snooping around in Grey's office with you.
Okay, look, you want to protect him.
That's sweet.
Do you know the combination to this thing? No, not a clue.
Okay, well, it's usually the birth date of somebody you care about.
You want to humor me, try yours? - [SIGHS.]
- Come on.
Come on.
[SIGHS.]
[DIAL CLICKING.]
[SAFE DOOR OPENS.]
Adorable.
I tried my brother's.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
He owns a bar.
I mean, it's it's practically insurance.
Grey is a convicted felon.
It's illegal for him to own a gun.
Well, it's a good thing we only found bullets.
Which tells me that he probably has the gun on him, and if he has the gun on him He wouldn't be able to get on a plane and go to Houston.
There you go.
[SIGHS.]
What's all this? Grey's an explosives expert.
You didn't know that? What? N-No, Grey went to prison for grand theft.
Among other things, yeah.
HOFFMAN: 312 Customs.
You got to be kidding me.
Ex-con named Petey runs it.
He's got a really long rap sheet.
[SIGHS.]
DENTON: What's that? I could use some quiet time.
If I'm risking my neck, I want to know what's going on.
All right, this is C-4, okay? And explosives are like dogs.
They need to be told what to do so they know how to please.
I just need enough to blow open this door so I can keep what's inside safe.
Hey, Denton, do me a favor.
Okay.
Just quit running your mouth around Kane.
You know something I don't? You heard what I said, okay? Just do your job, yeah? Tookie, man, we're out of cilantro.
That's a disaster.
Dinner's gonna be a mob scene.
Ansel.
Ansel? I need you to make a cilantro run.
- Can you handle that? - Yes.
Go to Shemanski Market on West Huber Street.
- Buy up all the cilantro they have left.
- Okay.
- Hurry.
- Okay.
[WINDOW CLICKS, WHIRS.]
FRANK: Hey, pal.
Grey called.
He wants me to take you to him.
- He's in Houston.
- Nope.
He's here.
He's planning a surprise party for your sister.
I'm not supposed to get in strangers' cars.
I'm not a stranger.
I'm Grey's friend, like you.
Guess that makes us friends, too, doesn't it? [LAUGHING.]
Come on.
Let's go.
No.
You okay? Hey, Tookie, where's Ansel? - Cilantro run.
He'll be back in five.
- All right.
Look, I know how hard this can be, finding out that somebody you trusted isn't who you thought they were.
No.
I know Grey, okay? He must have gotten mixed up in something.
[GLASS THUDS.]
[SIGHING.]
I'm gonna go check out 312.
I'll take a look around Grey's loft.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
Since when do you use pyrotechnic shot shells to fix stereos? Shall we just try this again? What did Grey buy, and how much? Enough to blow through the Spalding Bank vault, except all they keep in there anymore is bicycles.
So, what vault is our friend headed for? I didn't ask.
He wouldn't have told me.
Obvi.
Obvi? Teenage granddaughter.

What's happening? The safe's about to explode.
Oh, man.
Hold on.
[EXHALES SHARPLY.]
Okay.
All right, here we go.
Three, two [DETONATOR BEEPS, EXPLOSIVE POPS.]
That's it? That's it.
HOFFMAN: Dex! DEX: Yeah.
Here.
- Hey.
Where's your brother? He's He's okay.
Listen, this guy didn't know where the job was, but he did say that Kane had him set up a fence that sells Native American artifacts.
What What did you get from Petey? He said Kane bought enough explosives to blow a vault.
Okay.
What vault? Artifacts.
Portland Museum.
Worth a try.
Listen, I need to take my brother home, okay? - Can you deal with this? - [DOOR OPENS.]
I-I'll call it in.
DENTON: All this for a rock? Oh, this is no ordinary rock.
This obsidian ax is 12,000 years old.
What's it worth? When something is this rare and this valuable, they call it priceless.
[SIGHS.]
[GUN COCKS.]
- Come on, man.
- [GUN COCKS.]
Put it down, Kane.
[SCOFFS.]
Greyson McConnell, humble tavern owner.
You know, if Frank doesn't hear from me, Grey, your little friend is in a very bad situation.
Just put the gun down, Kane.
Let Denton go, and we can all just walk away, okay? All the loot is yours.
Isn't that right, Denton? - He can have it all.
- Works for me.
So, what do you want, Kane? You want cash to finance your life on the run? Or you want to prove a point and go back to prison? See, now, that's the Grey I know level-headed.
Put the gun down, Greyson.
I could solve so many people's problems by just pulling this trigger.
Put it down.
[BRAKES SCREECH LIGHTLY, GEARSHIFT CLICKS.]
[SIGHS.]
Could be staging out of this warehouse over here.
That's his M.
O.
He's a tunneler.
Pulled four jobs that way.
- All right, let's check it out.
- Hold on a second.

Yes, I'm running - Get down! - Down the railway track Could you help me? Police on my back They will catch me If I dare drop back Won't you give me All the speed I lack? What have I done? [GROANS.]
What have I done? You know how I can tell I was born to be a crook? I missed having guns pointed at me.
Isn't that sick? But you're most alive in that moment.
And now twice in one day.
It makes breaking out worth it just for this.
You know why I'm glad you broke out? So I could be the one to put a bullet in your head.
[SIRENS WAIL IN DISTANCE.]
Darius was my friend.
Yeah, I put a bullet in his head, but you served him up, Detective.
You want to kill me? You go right ahead.
But it ain't ever gonna make you feel any better.
I'm willing to find out.
What do you want me to do? Beg for my life, like Darius did? Like a bitch? Miles! Stand down! [BREATHES SHARPLY.]
Go ahead.
You're not gonna do this.
Look, you know, maybe we do this tomorrow, man, you know? HOFFMAN: We got to go.
I got you.
Trust me.
Go.
I'm scared.
You asked for my help.
I gave it to you.
We got to go now.
Just trust me.

MAN: Detective Hoffman? You got a second? MAN: job your team did.
Yes, sir.
I I very much appreciate that.
I want you to tell Hoffman Yep, I would be happy to convey that to Detective Hoffman.
Very proud of what you did.
In fact, he's walking in here right now.

[LIQUID SLOSHES.]

Is that right? Y-Yeah.
He was a C.
I.
? And I didn't see any paperwork cross my desk.
Yeah.
Uh, man, I must have left it in Hawaii.
[POPS LIPS.]
Well Mr.
McConnell is a very lucky man.
So, um So, he can he can walk, yeah? Fill out the retroactive paperwork, and he can cartwheel out of here, for all I care.
Good Lord, I am giddy.
[CHUCKLES.]
"Chef Navarro's cuisine" That's me.
"Chef Navarro's cuisine was, in our foodie-saturated age, that rarest of things entirely unexpected.
" - Mm.
- "Even the limited beverage program and indifferent service added a certain rough-hewn charm.
" That was your department.
Mm.
"But a win for our fine diners is a loss for our streets.
We all feel Portland getting less weird by the day.
If Chef Navarro's plans are for a brick-and-mortar restaurant, losing his iconic truck is sadly just a sign of the times.
" Portland needs me.
There shall be no restaurant.
A truck is where I began, and a truck is where I shall remain.
Two "shalls.
" Sounds definitive.
- Hey.
- Hey, Grey.
My guy.
Congrats.
Did you catch "entirely unexpected"? I'll say it again.
Look, I just want to say up front and say that I'm sorry Ohh! [BREATHING HEAVILY.]
You put Ansel in danger.
God, how could you [VOICE BREAKING.]
How could you do tha How could you do that? Everything that I did or tried to do was to protect him.
Don't you see that? And to protect you.
I don't know who you are.
Grey, I don't know who you are anymore.
If I left out anything about me or my past, if there's anything I didn't tell you Look, I should have just told you, all right? If there's anything else you want to say, anything else you want to tell me, you better tell me right now.
[SIGHS.]
I'm sorry.
Dex, someone's here to see you.
Yeah, buddy.
[SNIFFLES.]
Come on.
Janet.
Hey.
Miss Parios.
Congratulations.
You're officially a licensed private investigator - in the state of Oregon.
- [EXHALES SHARPLY.]
For whatever that's worth.
Wow.
Thanks.
That, uh This means a lot.
You'd make more tending bar.
- [CHUCKLES.]
- Just an FYI.
Thank you.
- I'm proud of you, sis.
- [CHUCKLES.]
- Look at that, huh? - Yeah.
It's all for you.
Come here.
TOOKIE: Congrats, Dex.
[LAUGHS.]
You've come a long way.
- [LAUGHS.]
- Make a wish.
[SIGHS.]
I know it's on your mind Okay.
[BLOWS.]
What, like parole? - How long were you guys together? - Four years.
But also, I really did do time.
I need to get my 1,500 hours of apprenticeship so I can be certified here in Oregon.
You're green, but you could be good, Dex.
Why is Hoffman asking about you and a dead guy named Jack Feeney? Feeney was in prison with Grey McConnell.
Guess who else was on his tier.
Wallace Kane.
Feeney ends up dead.
A week later, Kane breaks out.
I need a whiskey and a good chiropractor.
Kane is planning something here in Portland.
He's got some unfinished business.
- How do you know this? - Because I'm in his head! Do you remember that trip to Hawaii that you wouldn't shut up about? Take it.
I put Wallace Kane away.
If I was under his thumb, I'd be afraid.
Aah! [GRUNTING.]
You owe me a half a million dollars.
[AIR HORN BLOWS.]
[SPORTS ANNOUNCER SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY.]
[WHISTLE BLOWS.]
Don't say it.
- You look funny.
- [CHUCKLES.]
Finish your Pop-Tarts, okay? Blueberry is better.
Well, pumpkin was on sale.
Why are you dressed like that? I'm trying to look professional.
I have a very important meeting today.
With who? Uh, Janet Withers, um, from the DPSST, the Department of Public something or something, whatever.
So you can be a P.
I.
? Yeah.
Yeah.
If I get my certification, that means blueberry Pop-Tarts all day, any day.
- Okay, can you turn this off? - [VIDEO GAME BEEPS, CONTROLLER CLATTERS.]
I'm gonna drop you off at the bar.
Did you try Grey to let him know we're on our way? - He didn't pick up.
- Okay.
Well, he's probably busy.
He always picks up.
We'll try him on the way, all right? Come on.
So, we got to break into the vault and then bust into the safe? That's a two-day job.
Right, Grey? How should I know? I haven't even seen the thing.
I'm not going back to prison for Kane.
Will you guys help me if I pump the brakes here? Hell, yeah.
This is nuts.
Come on, Grey.
Back us up on this thing.
Come on.
Both of you guys chill.
Look, you know I got no beef with you, but I'm looking out for myself.
Gentlemen we're in business.
10 years ago, I started a beautiful tunnel.
Amazingly, it's still intact.
So, basically, we are on the 5-yard line.
We will be in Las Vegas by midnight, at which point in time, I will be in libertine mode.
[JACKHAMMER RATTLES IN DISTANCE.]
What? The boys and I have been talking.
I love where this is headed.
Why're we rushing this thing? Ugh! [GRUNTING.]
[HANK COUGHS, GROANS.]
Good question.
The reason we're rushing is because I'm an escaped convict, and it's not really in my best interest to spend too much time in any one location.
I mean, I would love to just chill here in Portland for a few weeks, hit up some microbreweries, but that's just not in the cards.
So, anyone else have anything to share with the group? Comments? Concerns? Greyson? Are you done shaking your ass, man? 'Cause apparently, I got a job to do, and I'd like to do it.
I'm sick of watching this.
He's the only one I let talk to me like that.
I don't know why.
Move your ass.
[SIREN WAILS.]
[LOCK DISENGAGES.]
Grey.
Grey.
Grey, are you here? Well, he probably overslept.
Let me call him.
- [CELLPHONE CHIMES.]
- Oh, look, I have a voicemail from him.
You never check your messages.
GREY: Dex, I hate to lay this on you, but I had an emergency.
M-My aunt in Houston is really sick.
I had to catch a flight last minute.
Look, can you watch the bar until I get back? A few days, tops.
Your brother will show you what to do.
- Please.
I owe you.
- [SIGHS.]
Aunt? What aunt? He has a He has a cousin in Tacoma, an uncle in, um in Connecticut, but I've never heard of an aunt in Houston.
We open in an hour.
"We"? Buddy, I have an interview to go to, okay? I need help.
Yeah.
Okay.
Uh, maybe Janet Withers can come here.
Right? So, what should we do first? - Work.
- Work.
Okay.
Stools? Yes.
[METAL SCRAPING.]
[METAL THUDS.]
[GRUNTS.]
In case I neglected to mention, it's good to see you.
I mean, you could have called first.
[CHUCKLES.]
Next time.
Oh, there's not gonna be a next time.
That's what I'm saying.
As soon as I crack this safe, I'm done.
Fair enough.
Though, I do find it strange you're about to break into a vault and you don't even ask what's in it.
'Cause I don't care what's in it.
I do.
That's why I only hire the best guys for the job.
That is every single toy you asked for.
[DIALING.]
[CELLPHONE BEEPS.]
[LINE RINGING.]

So far, so good with us.
You? Yeah.

Got it.

Can I get you something? Yeah.
I've got some time to kill.
Mm.
Spicy Bloody, extra horseradish, three olives.
Yep.
Coming right up.

DETECTIVE LEE: Here.
I appreciate this.
Cosgrove finds out you are not in Hawaii and that I knew, I could lose my job.
- Your secret's safe with me.
- Yeah.
What's the latest on Kane? [SIGHS.]
Marshals are convinced that he's in Canada.
They're coordinating efforts with the CSIS and the RCMP.
- That doesn't add up.
- I know.
He has no money, no resources.
All of his connections are here in Portland.
- [SIGHS.]
- What about McConnell? Yeah, he wasn't at the bar.
Some lady was running the place.
I've seen her at the station.
- Dax? - Dex? - Yeah.
- Did you talk to her? I got my own work to do, Miles.
I'm not even supposed to be here.
Neither are you.

What about him? I heard he might be sniffing around here, looking to do a review.
You're blowing up, dude.
[CHUCKLES.]
I've outgrown this place.
- Don't say it.
- I'm saying it.
How can I spread my wings when I can barely fit inside this fishbowl? [INHALES SHARPLY.]
That's two things, but you get my meaning.

That's what it means.
Can you just blow the damn thing? - [GRINDING STOPS.]
- Look, if the charges aren't set right, they're gonna be cleaning our bodies off the floor with a squeegee.
You understand? I mean, how many of these have we done together, man? Five? Six? Since when did you get the shakes? When I had a kid.

I'm looking for Dex Parios? - [TAP SPUTTERS.]

I'm Janet Withers, DPSST.

- Just not on the job.
Of course.
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? - No.
- Do you associate with anyone who's been convicted of a felony? No.
Why do you want to be a private investigator? What? It's a simple question.
Surely you've thought about it.
Yeah.
Of Of course I have.
Um, uh, deeply, I've considered it.
Um I just, uh I really like helping people? - Is that a question? - Um 'Cause when you're parked outside a cheap motel on the interstate six hours into an all-night stakeout, your bladder's about to explode, your pee bottle's full, and you're fresh out of adult diapers, your car smells like the five-day-old chalupa you lost under your seat, your last client stiffed you, and you don't know where the next one's coming from, I can assure you, you will be asking yourself the same question "Why the hell would I want to be a private investigator?" [CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY.]
Uh I know I'm supposed to have a good answer, but I don't.
Um The truth is, I, um I drink a little bit too much sometimes.
Um, my best friend is a felon, and I haven't been able to hold down a real job in about 10 years.
But this? This, I'm I'm good at.
I-I-I don't know why, but I but I am.
And you seem pretty cynical about the whole thing, and maybe one day, I will be, too, but, um [SIGHS.]
From where I'm sitting right now, that chalupa is smelling pretty damn good.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING.]
Let's turn the lights down Yeah.
Wrong answer.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
It was honest.

- Damn it.
- Aloha.
- [CELLPHONE BEEPS.]
Lieutenant.
Did I think you were gonna go to Hawaii? No.
What I did believe is that you'd have enough faith in me to know that I was looking out for you.
Let me put this guy back in prison.
Are you listening to what I'm saying? Did you just come here to scold me? No.
I came to take your badge.
- Are you serious? - You've been digging around.
The brass found out.
I told you.
I answer to people, too.

[GROANS.]
[TOOLS THUD.]
When Denton's done, he's done.
I'll need help with disposal.
No.
I'm not killing anyone.
Hey.
The reason I don't give him his cut up front is because you and Feeney blew the money.
So you'll do what I ask when I ask it.
Or I'll have to take something very dear from you.
[GROANS.]
I've got to have it Hey, buddy, what do you think? Five letters young oak.

I just had my P.

I got a job for you.
It's a missing-persons case.
He's in the wind, and I need to find him.
Who? Grey.
[EXHALES HEAVILY.]
Are you serious? Completely.
That bald dude I'm pretty sure he's the guy, the Outlook restaurant critic.
I need you tending bar.
Okay.
Okay, let me, uh, get this clear.
You want me to spy on my best friend? No, not spy.
I just want you to help me find out where he is.
Okay.
Well, that's easy.
[TAPS TABLE.]
[GLASSES CLINKING.]
Hey, Ansel.
Where's Grey? Visiting his sick aunt in Houston.
There you go.
Yes.
Case closed.
You owe me $500.
Uh, do you really think he went to Houston? Can I show you something real quick? What is it? Uh, the door.
Get out.
[SIGHS.]
Give me 20 minutes back at my apartment.
Please.
I'm serious.
If you care about Grey, you're gonna wanna see what I have to show you.
Kane protected Grey and Jack Feeney in prison.
Word from inside is that both Grey and Feeney owed Kane for that protection.
Feeney ends up dead.
Two days later, Kane escapes.
Now, I strongly believe that Grey is with Kane right now on a job.
[SIGHS.]
So you want me to help find Grey so you can arrest him? I don't care about Grey.
I want Kane.
I told you that he killed one of my C.
I.
s 10 years ago.
He had a wife and a one-month-old baby.
You have to find Grey.
Now.
Don't make me put that back up, please.
Okay.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohh-oh Tell him this is a churro taco soufflé with cajeta tapioca cream and piloncillo syrup.
Churro.
Got it.
And finally a soupçon, as they say in culinary circles, of my special magic sauce.
Now, you wanna wait until he takes a bite to make sure he's all good.
But don't let on that you know he's a food critic.
If he knows we know that he knows we know, - he won't review us.
- Give me the plate.
Wait Go.
Ohhh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohh-oh Just like that Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohh-oh Ohh, oh-oh When I smile to disguise That looks good.

Hey, real quick, kid.
Five letters Bert's bud.

You're good.
You like it? Love it.
Say, you're friends with Grey, right? This tug of war within my soul Although silent This will initiate the reaction.
And then we're gonna need 15 feet of clearance for safety.
You're the expert.
And, look, about, uh, Denton let me talk to him, okay? I'm sure he's just a little on edge, like everybody else, but you don't have to take him out.
All right.
I appreciate it.

This feels weird, snooping around in Grey's office with you.
I'm just a client.
Well, I wouldn't bring my client on a job.
Except this client just happens to be a cop.
- Yeah.
Who I've also hooked up with.
- Your point being? That it feels weird snooping around in Grey's office with you.
Okay, look, you want to protect him.
That's sweet.
Do you know the combination to this thing? No, not a clue.
Okay, well, it's usually the birth date of somebody you care about.

Well, it's a good thing we only found bullets.
Which tells me that he probably has the gun on him, and if he has the gun on him He wouldn't be able to get on a plane and go to Houston.
There you go.
[SIGHS.]
What's all this? Grey's an explosives expert.
You didn't know that? What? N-No, Grey went to prison for grand theft.
Among other things, yeah.
HOFFMAN: 312 Customs.
You got to be kidding me.
Ex-con named Petey runs it.
He's got a really long rap sheet.
[SIGHS.]
DENTON: What's that? I could use some quiet time.
If I'm risking my neck, I want to know what's going on.
All right, this is C-4, okay? And explosives are like dogs.
They need to be told what to do so they know how to please.
I just need enough to blow open this door so I can keep what's inside safe.
Hey, Denton, do me a favor.
Okay.
Just quit running your mouth around Kane.
You know something I don't? You heard what I said, okay? Just do your job, yeah? Tookie, man, we're out of cilantro.

[SIRENS WAIL IN DISTANCE.]
Darius was my friend.
Yeah, I put a bullet in his head, but you served him up, Detective.
You want to kill me? You go right ahead.

"Chef Navarro's cuisine" That's me.
"Chef Navarro's cuisine was, in our foodie-saturated age, that rarest of things entirely unexpected.
" - Mm.
- "Even the limited beverage program and indifferent service added a certain rough-hewn charm.
" That was your department.
Mm.
"But a win for our fine diners is a loss for our streets.
We all feel Portland getting less weird by the day.
If Chef Navarro's plans are for a brick-and-mortar restaurant, losing his iconic truck is sadly just a sign of the times.
" Portland needs me.
There shall be no restaurant.
A truck is where I began, and a truck is where I shall remain.
Two "shalls.
" Sounds definitive.
- Hey.
- Hey, Grey.
My guy.
Congrats.
Did you catch "entirely unexpected"? I'll say it again.
Look, I just want to say up front and say that I'm sorry Ohh! [BREATHING HEAVILY.]
You put Ansel in danger.
God, how could you [VOICE BREAKING.]
How could you do tha How could you do that? Everything that I did or tried to do was to protect him.
Don't you see that? And to protect you.
I don't know who you are.
Grey, I don't know who you are anymore.
If I left out anything about me or my past, if there's anything I didn't tell you Look, I should have just told you, all right? If there's anything else you want to say, anything else you want to tell me, you better tell me right now.
[SIGHS.]
