Just give her a chance.
Aimee has priors.
That's why they think that she did this.
It's mostly petty stuff, e-except the armed robbery charge.
- Oh, okay.
- I didn't do it.
A couple years ago, her ex had her drive to the liquor store.
She waited in the car.
A few minutes later, he comes out holding a bag of cash and his dad's gun.
Ooh.
Sounds like a keeper.
I dumped him, but the DA still charged me 'cause the system's broken.
She took a plea deal.
So, according to public record, you're guilty of a violent crime.
Like I said, the system is broken.
And you were you were just arrested for another one? This old dude got beat up and robbed a week ago.
They think Aimee did it.
Jeremy, what is the point of all this? Just give her a chance.
Look, sh she did everything right.
She followed all the rules, got sober.
And now they want to take her girls away.
That's Sara, and that's Olive.
You wanna see your kids again? You want to see your kids again? They took away her custody after she was arrested.
Now they're with foster care.
Olive doesn't do well with new people.
It took her forever to warm up to me.
Uh, so you, uh, you want me to help help her get her kids back? I don't want history repeating itself.
I mean, if I hadn't been taken away from my mom I am not like your mom.

Grey? I'm gonna come in.
Excuse me.
Whoa.
I know.
Hey, good thing Ansel wasn't here, right? If Ansel was here, this wouldn't have happened.
It wouldn't have gone so far.
Is there anything you want to talk about? Nope.
No, there is not.
Hey, why'd you bail on that case? That guy Jeremy said you walked out.
Okay, that that has nothing to do with this, okay? I think it does.
I'm just so ashamed, okay? Hey.
You know, whatever it is that you're going through, you can talk to me, right? I, uh, I wouldn't know where to start.
I'm just so tired of running away from this, you know? Then don't.
Jeremy.
If you came to apologize Did she do it? Some apology.
I'm sorry.
Look, I know how much your new family means to you and that you don't want to jeopardize that.
But I-I need to know.
Do you think I'd bring her to you if I thought that she robbed somebody? I think that you're angry that you were taken from your mom and that you think helping Aimee is somehow gonna make that right.
Is that such a bad thing? She's a good person.
A good mom.
She needs your help.
Okay.
Grey, do you want some frozen yogurt? Frozen yogurt? Again? We've been there every day this past week.
What is so special about this frozen yogurt place? L-Lila works there.
Ooh, your girlfriend? She's not my girlfriend.
Right.
You talked about this girl nonstop for weeks, all right? But you never got the nerve to ask her out.
She quits the soccer team, and you haven't seen her since.
Yep.
That's her.
Okay, well, if we go, you gonna ask her out? Can you help me? Don't ask him.
Private conversation.
Isn't your last girlfriend on the I am? Wasn't my girlfriend.
Just saying, he has terrible taste in women.
Except Dex, of course.
Though he messed that up, too.
You done? Do you want our help or not? Yes, please.
You say our help? The old guy was beaten up by a prostitute? That's what he said.
Aimee's not a hooker.
Maybe, maybe not, but she does have a history of violence.
She had no idea that her boyfriend was gonna rob that liquor store.
Okay, but the old guy ID'd her.
And eyewitness testimony is always spot-on? Why was Aimee in that line-up to begin with? Someone tipped us off.
Let me guess it was anonymous.
Look, Aimee fit the description of the assailant.
There's no alibi, and she has a history History of violence.
Yes, I know.
Come on.
We've We have been through this.
Look at my desk.
These are all open cases I'm actively investigating.
Okay, so you're, um, you're too busy to help me? I, uh, I can't right now, all right? I got a witness being questioned.
I'm sorry.
Mm.
Hajira.
I'm Chief Warrant Officer Dex Parios.
You must be thirsty.
The way you were brought in here, that was disrespectful, and I'm sorry.
We need information.
We've been watching your husband.
We know that he stole some explosives from one of our depots.
We need to know when he's planning on using those explosives.
"I don't know.
" I think you do.
I told you, we've been watching your husband.
Every night, after Maghrib, he has guests over.
Meeting, planning.
"I am not involved in my husband's business.
" But you're a good wife, a good hostess.
You serve them tea.
"Of course.
" You must overhear things.
I need to know what you've heard.
"I am not telling you.
" No, that's not what she said.
Excuse me? Well, that ship has sailed.
And now we know you speak English.
You can go.
Your Pashto is good.
I have an ear.
I use it when I'm outside of the gates.
You go outside the gates? Yeah, where else am I supposed to get a decent Bolani? Hajira you know something.
If I told you anything, my husband would never forgive me.
We will protect you.
He has my children.
Get my children, then I will tell you what you need to know.
Hello.
Oh, hello.
Isn't it a nice day? Well, you know, it's not raining, so that's a plus, I guess.
Would you go on a date with me? That's really sweet, but I think we gotta finesse it a little bit.
It's coming on too fast.
We gotta have a little bit more small talk.
Like, maybe ask, like, what am I drinking, you know? Last time I checked, they don't serve beer in froyo shops.
All right, the point is, is maybe then ask what I'm wearing or, you know, what I'm having or That'll work.
Just ease into it.
"Ease into it" means play it safe.
People who play it safe never win.
Ansel, when I was your age, I had a tough time with the ladies, too.
Just when I thought I was in friend-zoned.
Is that bad? Very bad.
I'll let you in on a little secret.
Girls like a little swagger.
Okay, it takes more than a little swagger.
Trust me.
Ansel, you know what's always worked for me? - Pick-up lines.
- Pick-up lines? What is this, the '90s? You're teaching him pick-up lines? "Are you a magician? Because whenever I look at you, everyone else disappears.
" Touchdown.
That's a terrible line.
Please don't ever do that.
Yes, girls like confidence, but more than that, you gotta be you.
The real you, okay? See that girl over there? You want me to ask her out? - No.
- No.
I want you to talk to her.
Listen.
Just listen to her, okay? You got this.
Practice makes perfect.
"Are you a magician?" Kills every time.
Does it? Night of the robbery, you were home alone.
Nobody can vouch for you? Aimee, what aren't you telling me? You're in AA, right? What's that saying that they have about honesty? "You're only as sick as your secrets.
" Mm-hmm.
What's your secret? Aimee, I'm here.
I want to help you.
I got a job slinging cocktails at an illegal gambling ring.
That's where I was the night of the assault.
Why didn't you tell anybody about this? Serving alcohol violates my parole.
So you lied.
I didn't want to lose my girls.
Well, you did anyway.
Catch 22, right? Mm.
Okay, well, that's your alibi.
Look, we just need to prove it.
Tell me more about this gambling ring.
You're not gonna believe me.
Try me.
I've probably played there.
Blackjack? Texas Hold 'Em? Video games.
Wait, what? For real? Start-up founders and programmers are the richest people in Portland.
The night I supposedly beat that guy up, someone won a hundred grand.
Wow.
Okay.
I should have been a nerd.
Why not just play a-at home, in their mansions? Because gambling's illegal, and they like the rush.
And they're not gonna talk to you.
Okay.
New plan.
We need leverage.
Do you remember who won that night? Yeah.
Hey.
Rocket Munch.
- Name? - Cameron Dorsey.
She's at the kombucha bar.
Of course she is.
Thank you.
Hey.
Cameron Dorsey? I didn't order anything.
Yeah, no, that's not why I'm here.
Hey.
Pad thai.
Enjoy it.
Okay, I'll be quick.
Do you frequent a certain East Side underground video game tournament? I don't know what you're talking about.
Oh, I-I think you do.
It's okay.
I-I won't talk too loudly.
Okay, I know you have a morality clause in your contract.
You could lose your job, right? Fine.
But can we talk about this somewhere else? My boss is right over there.
Guy with the mustache.
Ugh.
You gotta be kidding me.
Hey, stop.
Stop.
Give me this.
Get off.
Hey, what are you doing? Hey, that's my scooter, lady! Come on! Cameron, stop! Sorry, excuse me.
Locking rhythm to the beat of her heart Changing movement into light - Cameron! - She has danced into the danger zone When the dancer becomes the dance Sorry! Sorry! Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Sorry.
If the fight becomes the fire Come on, Cameron! This is embarrassing us both! On the wire between will and what will be She's a maniac, maniac on the floor Cameron, can you just What the And she's dancing like she's never danced before This is ridiculous.
This is frickin' She's a maniac, maniac on the floor Hey, stop! Enough! I'm a private investigator, okay? I'm not here to get you in trouble.
I'm just I'm trying to confirm that my client was there the night that you won.
I don't remember anything about that night.
I'd just won $10OK.
I was half-wasted on tequila Red Bulls.
My client was the one who was serving you.
Look, do you recognize her? You don't quit, do you? One of my many endearing qualities.
I don't know.
Maybe someone recorded something.
Some of the players were streaming on Twitch.
Can I go now without you completely blowing up my life? Yeah, okay.
Wait, w-what the hell is Twitch?! I was afraid of becoming my father, but guess what.
My father's not my father.
I mean, he is.
He's just He's just not the same guy, and everything I did it was like I was running away from him, but what now? What do I want? Good talk, Denny.
- Hey.
- Hey.
So, I, um I took that case.
Oh, that's great.
Um, thank you for showing up.
That's what friends do.
Yeah.
Where's Ansel? It's a long story, but it's totally under control.
Okay.
I ran around him, then then I scored the goal.
Everyone went wild.
Hey, buddy.
Hey, Dex.
Sorry to interrupt.
Um, can I just talk to you for a second? What's up? Um, do you know what Twitch is? Flank right! Charge that hill! People pay to watch other people play video games? It's the future, Dex.
See you, LoneWalker13.
I will end you.
What a time to be alive.
- I will end you! - Wait, wait, stop.
Right there.
Oh.
Ansel, I love you so much.
That's her.
This isn't good enough.
Wait, what What do you mean? That's clearly my client on the night of the robbery in a different location.
This was recorded at 9:17 P.
M.
Victim says he picked up the prostitute who robbed him around 9:30 P.
M.
Are you telling me that Aimee left her well-paying job, drove across town, put on hooker heels, and found a john in 13 minutes? Well, that part of town, johns grow on trees.
Yeah, but the Blazers were playing that night, Valerie.
Be hard for anybody to make that drive It's not enough.
Remind me I'm new to all this.
Is it innocent until proven guilty, or is it the other way around? What are you implying? I don't know, that my client is being railroaded? Okay, great.
Well, I do not have to listen to this.
Have a nice day, Detective.
What the hell was that? The system has been screwing Aimee over her whole life.
I-I didn't know what that meant until just now.
You wanna tell me why this one is so important to you? They're all important to me.
You know what? Never mind.
Forget it.
Girl knows how to cause a scene.
Yeah, but her instincts are usually right.
You wanna pull that Schumaker case Am I that easy to read? Like a book.
Really? Maybe we should take another run at this victim.
We? Oh, you're gonna drag me onto this case, aren't you? I guess I am that easy to read.
Come on.
Easy, Marine.
You're on the job.
No, I'm clocking out.
You're giving up on her? No, I'm not.
But the system is.
She was She was right about that.
We We're products of a system, too, you know? You and me.
That system values commitment.
Honor.
Is that funny? No.
I'm sorry.
We just We see things very differently.
What's that supposed to mean? It means I never should have taken this case.
You're gonna bail? That's fine.
At least tell me why.
Well, that went well.
She wants her kids.
I'm not risking American lives on some half-cocked rescue mission.
Sir, this may be our only shot at getting the intel we need.
What if she's playing you? Did you ever think about that? Setting you up so you can walk a platoon of Marines into an ambush? We're done playing nice.
What do you mean? Get the intel, Chief Warrant Officer.
By any means necessary.
Are you telling me to torture her? That's a war crime.
You don't have to get your hands dirty.
We have a team for that.
All you have to do is ask the questions.
No.
I'll get someone else.
Then I'll report you.
If we don't do it, do you know what happens? They attack one of our bases, and Americans die.
It's us or her.
What's it gonna be? I keep replaying it so many times in my head, over and over.
Maybe if I had done something differently, it wouldn't have gotten to that point.
Damn.
Yeah.
So, what did you do? What could I do? I threatened them, the torture never happened, but the attack did.
Yeah, Volkers was right about that.
That's not on you.
- Isn't it? - No.
I disobeyed an order, and people died.
An unlawful order.
Yeah, that could've changed things.
- It was war.
- It was my fault.
You don't know that.
Yeah, I do.
Yeah.
Aimee reminds me of her, you know? Hajira.
They're both victims of circumstances.
She has this desperation that You can't hold on to this forever.
Dex it's in the past.
Not all of it.
Medic! Whatever you're selling, I ain't buying.
No, sir.
Uh, we're Detectives Hoffman and Lee.
We're with PPB.
Oh.
I already told that other detective fella everything.
Understood.
We're just here for a few follow-up questions.
All right.
Just watch the petunias.
I promised my wife I'd, uh, keep 'em alive after she passed.
Have you solicited sex before, Mr.
Schumaker? How crude.
"Solicited sex.
" I got lonely after my wife passed.
Just wanted a little companionship.
No shame in that.
You know, gotta ask a handsome man like you could get a date the usual way.
Oh.
You're good.
You got him wrapped around your finger? Who says I'm not wrapped around his? Mm.
You mind walking us through what happened that night? Yeah, I picked up this, uh, young lady about 9:30 P.
M.
Made some chit-chat on the way back here and got inside, and bam! She knocked me out.
She stole my car, my watch Did she knock you out right away, or did something else happen first? She wanted a cigarette.
I said, "Not inside.
" So we stayed out here while she smoked.
That wasn't in the report.
I got hit in the head, okay? If we can find it, we can get the DNA off the cigarette, see if it matches with Aimee's.
Wrapped around my finger, huh? You wish.
Watch the petunias, damn it! Hoffman.
What would you do without me? Here you go.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
So, how'd it go? Did you use my line? I didn't ask.
It was scary, but I got froyo! It is scary, baring your heart and soul to a girl, hoping she likes you back, hoping she doesn't stomp all over you, leaving you laying on the ground like a dead piece of meat, and you an empty husk of your former self, just crushed Hey, are you gonna land this plane, buddy? Courage, young homie.
Courage.
Hey, just do what you did in the bar.
You're gonna be fine.
You got this, okay? Remind me to never ask you for dating advice.
What? Do Do you want to get lunch tomorrow? Like a date? Yes.
A date.
Sure.
I would love to.
And hey, for the record, I didn't blow things with Dex.
We decided not to go there, so Who said anything about Dex? So, is there a reason you dragged me all the way up to the station? You said Aimee's in AA Thursdays at 3:00 P.
M.
, right? Last I checked, being in recovery does not equal armed assault, but, you know, what do I know? Look, we found a cigarette butt at the crime scene.
Yeah, Aimee doesn't smoke.
Are you listening to what I'm saying? We know it's not Aimee, okay? We got a DNA hit.
Paloma Wagner.
Multiple priors, robbery, prostitution, and get this she's in AA Thursdays at 3:00 P.
M.
Look like somebody we know? Huh.
We think she called in the tip herself once the cops started sniffing around.
Threw Aimee under the bus.
And the old man couldn't tell the difference in the line-up.
Yeah, it's a pretty good plan.
Almost worked, too.
Here's the thing we don't have enough to hold her.
Of course you don't.
I've been going at her for hours.
She won't talk.
And since we found the cigarette butt outside the victim's house, we can't prove she's the one who robbed him.
- Then let her go.
- I can hold her overnight.
- Don't bother.
- Might be worth a shot.
You're wasting your time.
Just let her go.
Well, I would rather be back in there than filling out all this paperwork, am I right? Did the cops hassle you? They pulled this whole good cop, bad cop thing on me.
Didn't work, though.
I'm Dex.
You always talk this much? I don't know.
I like talking to people.
Getting to know someone.
Swapping stories.
It It helps pass the time.
For instance, um this is, uh, this is Sara.
She's 8 years old.
She has asthma, but she still helped her tee-ball team win championships last year.
And, um, this is Olive.
She's 5.
She's super shy.
Um, but if you get her talking, she'll tell you everything you need to know about rocks.
Cute kids, don't you think? Yeah, sure.
They're yours? No, no.
I don't have kids.
These These are, um, in foster care.
Yeah, they're, uh, dragging their clothes around in trash bags, never knowing what kind of family they're gonna be living with, if they're gonna be good or bad.
You know that feeling.
You You grew up in foster care, too, right, Paloma? How do you know my name? That's not important.
What's important is that Olive and Sara they have a mother who loves them, and they could be living with her right now, except she was arrested for a crime that she didn't commit.
- You're a cop.
- Nope.
Nope.
I'm a friend of Aimee's.
Leave me the hell alone.
You walk away now, a year from now, ten years, you're not gonna be able to walk away from this.
You're crazy.
No, I am someone who knows what regret feels like, okay? And believe me, it sucks.
Just when you're happy, boom, there it is, reminding you that you don't deserve anything good.
Are you ready to carry that weight? To know that you're the reason that Sara and Olive are growing up without their mother? Hmm? It's not too late.
You gotta do something about this.
Hey.
Hey, how'd it go? - Cops dropped all charges.
- Wha I don't know what you said to get Paloma to confess, - but it worked.
- Oh, that is so great.
Told you.
She's the best.
A-And the girls? The judge just reinstated my custody.
We're gonna go pick them up right now.
Wow.
I finally get to put this all in the past.
Thank you for fighting for me.
Well, thank you for for trusting me.
You're only as sick as your secrets, right? Yeah, that's right.
- One second.
- Mm-hmm.
Ooh.
So, Dex, uh I know a guy.
Military intelligence.
- Jeremy, I - I could reach out to him.
I really think you should find out what happened that night.
I know what happened that night.
I was there.
Okay? Okay.
If you change your mind Mm.
I won't.
Aimee's got a point, Dex.
You're only as sick as your secrets.
Mm-hmm.
I like your eyes.
Thanks.
I like your glasses.
What kind of music do you like? Country.
They're cute together.
Bummer their food options are so limited.
This taco's a crime against humanity.
Okay, it's not about the food.
It's always about the food.
Look at them.
They're made for each other.
Truly.
That's hard to find, my friend.
Oh, here we go.
Worse than lying to the outside world are the lies you tell yourself.
Were you dropped on your head as a child? Just an opinion, but yes.
Look, with me and her, i-it might happen someday, but it's not gonna happen right now, okay? - Okay.
- Can you let it go? - All right.
- Please? Thank you.
Years ago, I was dating this girl.
Ugh.
Make it stop.
She wanted me to propose, but I wasn't ready.
A wild stallion hates the corral, you know? You just don't stop, do you? I was starting a new business.
There was no room for una esposa.
So, I had this grand opening, and everybody came.
Foodies, critics, but not my girlfriend.
And I realized there I was, building an empire, but there was nobody to share it with.
I proposed the next day.
Mm-hmm.
We're still married.
Congratulations.
That's a beautiful story.
The hell does it have to do with me? You can't build an empire without an empress.
Okay, look, Dex is hung up on a ghost, and I can't take that on, and I am all over the place.
Here's what I know I'm not what she needs right now.
Then what does she need? Dear God Hope you got the letter and I pray you can make it better down here I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer But all the people that you made in your image Be advised.
Friendlies approaching, five miles out.
Copy, friendlies approaching.
from God Can't believe in you Dear God, don't know if you noticed but Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look - Where was he hit?! - And all the people that you made in your image Still believing that junk is true Well, I know it ain't, and so do you - Medic! - Dear God I can't believe in I don't believe in It's you Dear God Dex.
Hey, Sue Lynn.
What are you doing here? Um I need to tell you something.
About what? About how Benny died.
You always blamed me for Benny joining the Army, ending up in Afghanistan, and you thought that I was the reason he was dead.
Well, you're right.
If I would've followed orders, if I would have done my job And if you let them torture that woman? Maybe Benny would still be alive.
You come to me with this after all these years? I mean I wanted to come sooner.
