Pretty Hard Cases (2021) s03e04 Episode Script

1
How are you? How
Are you still dating Sara from homicide?
I'm actually seeing two Sarahs.
Two Sarahs?
What, are you polyamorous
now? Is that
Have you ever had your heart broken?
No.
- Oh.
- Except by you.
Move in with me.
You know, I was always
planning on buying my own place.
I know.
- Tueli!
- Oh, hi.
- Yeah, I'm his stepdaughter.
- Stepdaughter?
Her mother and I lived
together for seven years.
- This is Kelly.
- Hey, Kelly.
Can I stay for a few days?
You said you had a
big loft by yourself
- But Kelly
- Kelly doesn't mind.
Oh, hell no.
No way, uh-uh.
We're not doing it like
that. That's not how we do it.
Not doing what? What you talking about?
You don't just get out the bed,
go put on your clothes and
then, sneak out the damn house.
But I actually got
different plans for you.
What you talking about, Willis?
Eh, eh, eh. Just you wait,
just you wait, Henry Higgins.
You ready?
Okay.
Oh, hell
- Ooh.
- Hey, hey, hey
Okay
Oh
Pah pah pah
Yeah, see? That's what I
was waiting for, right there.
Mm-hmm!
Okay, no, no, so you're serious now?
Show me what you working with!
Wait, it's
It's stuck around my
ankles, hold up, help me out.
- What's the matter?
- Get those
Okay, I got you. I got you.
Ooh! All right, Flashdance.
You like this?
Oh, yeah. Well, that depends.
Can I get this every morning?
Okay, you're being greedy now.
I'm gonna need you to shimmy out.
Girl, you ain't seen nothing.
You see that? That was a stunt, girl!
Oh!
I didn't break out the
"Please don't hurt 'em".
Well, maybe I don't
know how you feel about
Oh, ooh! Look out now,
you gotta be careful.
Gimme this one. Two
I don't even got to look.
I need to meet with Rickets
before his lecture
Get out!
- Tueli!
- Your car's in the way.
- Okay, yeah. Can we just
Can you give us a minute?
Sure, sorry. Oh, just as an FYI,
I leave the house pretty
early. I get up, I go.
I'm involved in a lot of
community organizational things,
like study groups. I'm pretty go-go-go,
so Kelly, if you and I are
both gonna be staying here,
is it cool if you park
in front of Nathan's car,
like on the street?
Um
Tuelli.
All you really had to say
was, "can you move the car?"
You know? And maybe
Just maybe add a please?
Yeah, you could have said it
on the other side of the door,
- by the way.
- Sorry. I'm frazzled.
Please?
Um those are my pants!
Those are my pants
Um, okay. Tueli, I'm
gonna need you to leave
- so I can finish getting dressed, please.
- Oh. Sorry, yeah.
Forgot some people
are weird about nudity.
Well, it's not weird.
You're right, my mom's the weird one.
She's super open about bodies and stuff,
kind of free spirit. I'm sure
Nathan's told you all about her.
Actually, we don't bring
up past relationships
- in our dynamic.
- Oh, that's smart.
Yeah, it's probably hard
for him to talk about.
Why?
Oh, he was heartbroken
when Vanessa ended things.
Vanessa's my mom,
that's what I call her.
Anyway, I'm sorry, I tried knocking.
You can be chill with me here.
Nathan's like family, so, so are you.
Have a great day, Kelly.
Oh, no, that's Nazeer's girlfriends.
It's the Sarahs. It's two Sarahs.
Podcast listen to your podcast.
Tuesday, what happens with that?
I'm always working on a Tuesday, though.
My headphones!
It's not that I don't Sam, Sam!
Hey, hi.
Hey, Naz. How are
you? I didn't hear you,
because I was just
listening to a podcast.
spaghetti
- Sounds riveting.
- Mm-hmm.
It is, it's really good.
Have you met Sarah and Sara?
Hello. Hi, hi.
That's a triple hi. How are
you? It's really nice to
Naz has talked like, a lot about you.
Um Detective Harding,
how's Homicide?
Homicide is it's Homicide.
It's always a fun time.
Sara, the dog walker. It's
really nice to meet you.
Hi Brenda, hi Kevin.
Uh, I'm sure we've met before.
I don't think we have, I don't remember.
I've been picking up
Edwina's dogs for two years.
Guess you're not much of a detective.
That's really
Oh God you got me.
Both both Sarahs brought me coffee.
It's like I'm swimming in coffees.
You got two coffees, I
feel like that's a bit much.
'Cause what do you do
with two at the same
How does Is one not enough for you?
Well, some people just
prefer two coffees.
And I do not judge those people.
I guess I'm just more of
a one coffee kind of gal.
Right. Well, here's a Sumatra for you.
Thank you so much.
Look at us all together,
just hanging out with the
dog and some coffees and
This is just a really, really good time.
That's terrible. It's not It's
just that that's a lot of sugar.
Yeah, Naz likes it sweet.
I thought that he likes it black.
I thought you liked it with cream.
Uh no, see What it was is
You know what, I like them all equally.
You know, I'm gonna go.
'Cause I have to eat some
salt to counteract the sugar.
How it is, because I
don't want to bye.
And then, she just stood
there like I was the weird one
for not being chill about the fact
that she just walked
in on us. I mean, Sam
I could have just crawled into a hole.
Oh my God, I want to crawl into a hole,
like a big hole where there's
no Nazs and like, no Sarahs.
I don't even know what was more awkward,
the fact that Tueli
walked in on me and Nathan
while we was doing a little da-da-da,
strip tease thing morning,
or the fact that she was comparing me
Comparing me to Nathan's ex.
Okay, or the sheer
Bizarro-land that you and Nathan
tried to do a da-da-da
dance like strip tease
on a Tuesday morning.
I mean, I just ask myself,
like how well do I really know Nathan?
'Cause you know I was
gone for eight months
and I'm putting a whole
lot of my eggs in his basket
when you know, maybe
I need my own basket.
And I told you about, I was
trying to get my own place,
so you know, maybe I
should just bite the bullet
and sublet something until, you
know, I don't know, a house opens up?
Listen, I think you're
being really reactive.
You know, the housing market isn't great
and the bubble's about to
burst. So, don't do that.
And then, the other night, Nathan said
that I was the only woman
that ever broke his heart.
Yet, this morning,
Tueli was talking about
how he was all heartbroken
over his breakup with her mom.
Well, it's just that
Okay, we're all adults here,
so we've all had our hearts broken.
But still, you know
I think I just take a breath.
You know, I'm in no rush
to move in with the man.
I can just take a a beat!
- Right?
- Yeah.
Okay, the universe is
actualizing my dreams.
Think about this: You, me, roomies.
Just so you like, take a beat.
'Cause Steve is away
at a conference. Yay!
And the guest room is free
with an incredible duvet
and I've used extreme
self-control to not binge watch
Bridgerton season two,
waiting for a what?
Oh, a Bridger-buddy. Which could be you,
it should be you, it will be you.
Uh, it's actually not a bad idea.
Yeah, Bridgerton two, you and me.
It'll give me a night
to catch my breath.
Yes, take a beat, take a beat. Up here!
I'm allowed, right?
Yes, give me a beat!
- Down low!
- No
Let's go, all around
town, friends having a
I'm dealing with an
emergency, I could use you both
in the board room in five, thanks.
Good job, good job.
- Hey. We need your help.
- Hello!
- Oh no, no.
- God!
I'm not cleaning up vomit.
Honey, the bathroom
is right through there,
- it's a door away!
- I'm sorry
That came out of nowhere.
Yeah, yeah, it's okay.
I'm trying to keep this
on the down-low as a
favour to Susan here.
She's feeling pretty Vulnerable.
We got a couple calls, noise complaints,
fireworks being set
off near the port lands
around six this morning. Everyone said
it was coming from a
junkyard on commissioners.
It's in the file.
Look in the file.
Crud stud?
Owned and operated by Curtis Eggars.
The titular stud of Crud Stud.
Yeah, not that I
noticed, but he is a stud.
He's really built.
I got to figure out
where he goes to workout.
Anyway, he's in interview right now.
We were going to talk
to him and then, we
We found
She's never seen a dead body before.
- Hmm.
- This is a homicide?
Not exactly. Here.
Oh, okay.
You know what, give us a
warning next time you flash us
with a dead racoon pic.
How do you think I
felt? I stepped on it.
Sweetheart, it's not
a real human dead body.
I'm prepping her that it
is much, much worse.
Okay, uh What's your theory?
I think the fireworks
were actually machine gun.
If you look closely at
this little trash panda,
he's been hit by at least five bullets,
with another 15 on the scene.
All right.
I'll get ballistics to run a test.
In the meantime, we'll have
a little chat with the
Stud of Crud.
So? How can I help you lovely ladies?
I'm assuming I would know
if I was arrested, right?
Detective Wazowski and
I wanted to ask you about
your whereabouts this
morning around 6 am.
Oh, well yesterday, on
Monday, I had lunch with Maria.
I met her on rubble. I
call them my Maria Mondays.
Slept over, woke up, did a little bit
of a Tuesday morning redux.
And then, went to work around 8.
Okay well, while you were reduxing,
machine gun fire was reported
coming from your address.
Why would anyone fire an automatic
weapon from your property?
I lock up the gates when I
leave, but that doesn't mean
that kids won't hop the fence, right?
Kids. With machine guns?
Only shooting I do is on
hunting trips with the boys.
Wow.
But I owe a beer to whoever
got rid of that vermin.
You know, racoons are
an invasive species.
They are on track to
outnumber us four to one
and I do not like those numbers. Do you?
Curtis, do you own any hunting rifles?
I got a few non-restricted firearms.
Oh. Oh, okay. Well, what are we talking?
It's on here. Just
give me a second, here.
Let's see. Oh, there they are.
I got some other good ones on here.
There's the hunting rifles.
Wow. Those are phewf.
And I got my I got
another one in there, too.
I got my 9 mm in here somewhere.
Well, there's my 12-gauge, pump action.
There's me, holding the 12-gauge.
Very nice, nice sunglasses.
Thank you. There's my 9 mm.
Ooh.
It's all locked up. It's safe at home.
I think you might be forgetting one.
An M16 machine gun.
Hmm.
100 % illegal in Canada.
You know what, you can confiscate that.
Oh!
He's gonna let us
confiscate his illegal rifle.
- So nice!
- Yes!
I'm just wondering why you would
use a machine gun to hunt a racoon.
I don't hunt them, I get rid of them.
Is it a crime to protect your property?
Uh, it is illegal to
possess, not to mention fire,
a fully prohibited
automatic weapon in Canada.
Yeah, there's severe penalties.
But if you let us know
where you got it from,
you know, maybe we just
let you off with a fine.
Hmm. You know, or you can play tough
and just serve three
to five years, it's
I get my guns from a guy
named Jeff. Jeff Harvey.
Where can we find him?
He runs a business out of
a place called Bare Camp.
Oh, Bare Camp! Okay, this Okay.
These people are naked,
this is a nudist camp, Kell.
- You're kidding me.
- No, I'm not.
Ballistics results just
came in. Come with me.
The bullets found in that
racoon have been matched
to the same gun wanted in a
homicide from three weeks ago.
It's possible your crud stud
is killing more than racoons.
Now, I'm really close
with the guys on the case,
so I told them I'd connect you.
You're gonna be working with
the homicide crème de la crème.
Really, really great guys.
So smart. Really funny.
You're gonna love these guys.
Hi, Sarah. We meet again.
Hey.
Hello.
Detective Dack Adams.
In the early years,
they'd call me "Dick Dack".
Not a term we use for
detectives anymore.
Dick. Probably a good thing, right?
Lot of confusion, wouldn't you say?
No, yeah, yeah, sure. Confusing.
Anyway, it's great to have
you two working under us.
We can use all the help we can get.
Help? No, no. This is our case.
Homicide trumps G&G.
Everybody knows that,
we will run point and
you guys will assist.
- Did Ballard okay this?
- Yes.
About three weeks ago
on a cold, rainy evening,
a young man named Richard Richardson,
who also goes by the name Dick
Full of promise, full of dreams,
decided to go out for a
bag of chips at the store.
He had some dip in his fridge,
he wanted to match
the chip with the dip.
Comes back from the store,
goes to his apartment,
can't wait to open the chips.
Out of nowhere, a red sedan
comes flying around the corner
and the passenger decides,
"I'm going to rip those
chips open for you."
Pulls out an M16.
Get down, Dick Dick!
Dick! No!
Nothing. 10 bullets in the
chest, five in the chips.
Dick Richardson's dreams were no more.
Detective Adams writes crime
novels in his spare time.
Oh yeah, okay.
What do you guys have so far?
So far, we have Curtis
Eggars who bought this M16
from a guy named Jeff, who
deals guns out of Bare Camp.
The nudist colony?
Yeah, Curtis said that he
bought a gun a week ago,
but he could be lying.
Curtis also claims to
have a rock-solid alibi
the night of the murder,
a rock-solid alibi
that goes by the name Felicia.
Hmm. Let me guess, she's on Fridays?
Yes, Fridays. Huh.
Well, get a good
night's sleep, everybody.
Tomorrow, we're going to Bare Camp.
A cluster of naked
dicks thrusting their way
to the bottom of this case.
Whoa! Look at this.
Here you go, here's to taking a beat.
Personally, I've been up since 3 am
with the words "Naked Dick"
running through my head.
You know what? Dick
Dack was being dramatic.
We don't all need to go in there naked,
they can handle that and we
can hang in the van as backup.
- Okay?
- God, 'cause I just cannot
go in there with Sarah two
Just, I can't go in there
with Naz's girlfriend.
- Why not?
- Well, I don't know.
I mean, who can really know? I just
Kell, do you ever
really get over your ex?
Huh, I certainly hope
Nathan is over his.
Listen, I know that I'm not
the most adventurous person,
but this whole polyamorous
thing has got me really
feeling like a prude, and Sarah two,
she's just so confident,
she's like a real free spirit.
What is so great about
being a free spirit anyway?
That's how Tueli
describes her mom, Vanessa.
Yeah, free spirit. You
know what that means? Flaky!
Yeah, take your free spirit
over there, thank you very much.
- Okay, bye.
- I have no problem being naked.
No problem at all. In the
shower, between the sheets.
But other than that, I
just don't feel the need.
I'm a private nudist,
but nobody needs to see
your coochie waving
all around the place.
I mean, not your coochie in particular,
anybody's coochie. Vanessa's coochie.
Speaking of Vanessa,
do you want to check
out her social media?
Oh girl, are you kidding me?
I have been watching
her stories for a week.
You've been watching her stories?
Yeah, why not?
So, you know that she can tell
when you've been watching her stories?
What do you mean?
Oh, come on, you must know that.
That's why Elliot banned
me from his social media,
'cause he could see when
I was creeping his stories.
No, no.
Huh.
"This account is now private."
Oh, like in it wasn't before?
Do you think she made it private
when she saw me creeping her stories?
No. No, I'm sure she didn't even notice.
That is embarrassing,
I feel so childish!
Good! I'm glad you do,
you should feel childish,
because I feel childish all the time.
- This makes me feel normal.
- I can only be childish
- with you, though.
- Same, same.
Are you sure you can't be
childish with your BFF, Ro?
Are you kidding me? She's
way too mature for that.
Can you pass me one of
those sausages, please?
- Yeah. Eat your naked sausage.
- You know I will.
Kelly! You have a minute?
I talked to Tueli about yesterday
and it will never happen again.
Yeah, okay. Uh hmm.
You know, but she said
something that kind of
Made me feel a little weird.
Like what?
Like how you might
have been heartbroken
when her mom dumped you.
Wait, is that jealousy I smell?
- Jealous?
- No, this is incred
- Wow! You're jealous over me?
- Okay, stop. Stop.
- Okay. It's over.
- Just back it up.
Yeah.
I mean, but for real,
though, were you heartbroken
when you and Vanessa split?
I don't know.
My ego was definitely bruised.
And I guess in the moment,
I could have taken that
for a heartbreak, yeah.
- Maybe.
- Okay.
Anything else you need to tell me?
Hold on.
Hi, Tueli, what's up?
I think something bad has
happened, I need your help.
But not as a cop, okay? As my friend.
Okay, calm down. Breathe.
- What's going on?
- I'm at school.
I'm trying to look for my friend, Ray.
I don't know, we were in the
library together and then,
he started acting really
weird and aggressive
Can you breathe for me, please? Just
Just tell me what's happening.
We were in the library
together, just working
and then, he just bolted.
I don't know, he's really messed up.
Okay, so do you want
me to send someone down?
No! No.
I don't want some
random cop showing up
and pulling out their guns.
He might be going back to our lecture,
but I don't know, I'm freaking out!
I will be there as soon as
I can be, okay? Don't move.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- You need a ride?
- Sure, sure. Yes, please.
- All right, let's roll.
- Yeah, man.
Tueli, is he on anything?
He takes this Purple Rain
stuff to help him study,
but this was whack.
He said he was going into lecture
I can't do it, I just can't do it!
200 pages in one night?
I'm not a goddamn robot!
- Ray! Ray, stop!
- Gotta be on Purple Rain.
Seriously!
I just can't work that fast!
Lev's psych 100, it nearly killed me!
Detective Nazeer. Who are you?
- Veronica.
- Jody, we're the TAs.
Okay, listen, we'll take care of him.
You guys get the hell out of here.
Hey, easy, Ray.
That's your name, right?
I'm Nathan, Tueli's friend.
Let's just take it easy, huh?
Maybe even sit down.
I'm sitting down. Right?
Yeah, nice and easy.
Just chilling. Okay, Ray?
You're gonna be okay,
Ray. You can trust them.
Ray. Ray, it's me!
Hey!
Tueli!
Tueli, are you okay? Are you all right?
Take your time, take your time.
All right, Jeff Harvey, 47.
Primary address is Leaside, Toronto,
but in the summer times,
he lives out of his RV.
I just finished questioning
Curtis, whose alibi is solid.
He's not the shooter.
Turns out his account
of acquiring the M16
after the homicide checks out.
Okay, so we find out
where he got the gun from
and who had it before him.
That is pungent. That's intense,
- whatever it is you're drinking.
- I know, right? So good.
Hmm. Hmm, hmm, hmm.
So, Adams is digging
up a carded informant
who is also a member at Bare Camp.
We agent the informant, who
introduces us as customers.
We buy a gun and catch Jeff in the sale.
Uh, excuse me. When
you say, "we buy a gun,"
do you mean like, we
go undercover like
Undercover in the nude?
That's the only way
that he does business.
Yeah, so you and Dick Dack got that.
Sure. If you two are weird with it,
you know, me and Adams
can take care of it.
And you guys can be backup in the van.
Yeah, we'll be in the van, thank you.
That's I like the way you think.
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.
- Yeah.
- I'm calling for backup.
- No, no, please! No more cops.
Okay, okay, but I'm staying with you.
I'm gonna take you home and
then, we're gonna find Ray.
Call Kelly.
Hey Naz, what's up?
Hey, yeah. We're over here at
Osler U, we got a situation.
Nathan needs your help.
Okay, all right. I'll be right there.
Uh, hey, I gotta go.
What? Stop, no.
Nathan and Tueli are
in a situation, okay?
You're gonna have to do
this without me for now.
Stop, please don't leave.
Sam, there are three
very capable detectives,
- you'll be fine.
- You know what, I'm gonna go
- and then, you stay here.
- Sam,
Nathan rarely asks for my help, okay?
He needs me.
- You got this, okay?
- Okay.
You're good.
Uh, watch her for me, please.
- Yeah, sure.
- Thank you.
Students last saw Ray heading here.
You're sure he was on Purple Rain?
Yeah, extreme strength,
foaming at the mouth.
These are all common
reactions to the drug.
- That's him.
- I don't want this.
I don't want this anymore!
Don't want this.
Hey, hey, no!
- Let's go.
- Go!
I don't want this!
Hang on, buddy!
Oh God.
Hey, hey, Ray? Hey, buddy.
Hey, just take it easy, all right?
We're gonna we're gonna
get you down from there.
I can't I can't take this,
this is way, way, way too much.
He's having a seizure, let's go.
- Got you!
- I got him.
It's okay. We got you, Ray.
On your side, on your side.
I got his head.
Get paramedics to Osler University.
Third floor atrium, right now!
It's okay, Ray. You're
good, we're all good, buddy.
All right, you're allowed to wear shoes,
I put a tiny mic in Sarah's sneakers,
I can do the same for you.
No, no, I'm not going in, you two are.
I can't. You two have to do it.
No, it's just that we agreed, so
Okay, I've given this
some think and I realize
that I can't do it, 'cause Jeff
will find me too intimidating.
I don't know what you mean by that.
- With the
- Yeah.
He's not going to do business
with me if he sees it.
And we're done.
You two go in.
I'll stay outside,
waiting on your every word.
Once you have a deal
for the gun, let me know
and I will jump in and nab him.
Wait. Uh, sorry, could we just
Like, please. No, I can't,
I can't, I can't. I, well
Come on, come on. It's gonna be fun.
I don't see how this will be fun.
It is, fun with a capital F.
Hello, hi. Uh, we're here to register.
Wazowski and Harding.
Uh, how much clothes
are you allowed to wear?
We are not clothing optional.
You can only wear clothes for safety.
Like, if you're cold.
Do you feel that?
It's really cold.
We lose our heat through
the top portion of our body,
not the bottom. So, if
you must, put on a shirt.
Oh, good. I'll just
probably wear this one, then.
Not that shirt. Too sexual.
Okay, really?
No sexual behaviour, no
inappropriate comments
and when you sit, use
a towel. Understood?
Yeah.
Change room's behind you.
Thanks.
Oh, God.
It's like they're taunting me.
I've always wanted to
join a nudist colony.
Apparently, it's really relaxing.
Yeah. I am so relaxed right now.
Well, you're gonna draw
more attention this way.
- You could at least try.
- This is me trying!
Can you see anything?
Here, let's do this.
Well, the pamphlet said any coverage is
too much coverage, so
- You look great, by the way.
- Thank you.
Companion basket
Okay, where Where's your CI agent?
Isn't she supposed to meet us here?
Yeah, she should be here somewhere.
She's really tight with that Jeff guy.
- Can we trust her?
- As much as you ever can.
She was the sister of a drug dealer,
she turned her entire family
in for a shorter sentence
and she did about six months in jail.
Now, she's out, trying
to turn her life around.
Her name is Lena or Lana.
- Layna?
- Layna!
- Hey, I know you.
- Hi.
I'm sorry, but we can't
trust her, we can't use her,
- because I arrested her.
- Can you trust me?
You turned my life around.
You got me out of my
sister's clutches, so
I'm happy to help, seriously.
You're not supposed
to be wearing a towel.
You know what? Fine, fine, fine.
Just please make the
introduction and then,
let's just get out of here, okay?
She seems cool. Go with it.
Okay, eyes on Jeff, he's
over by the hot dogs.
Has he confirmed he's
gonna sell us a gun?
Well, he doesn't confirm anything,
he's smarter than that.
He's agreed to meet.
You're ready for the introduction?
Mm-hmm.
- Hey, Jeff, babe.
- Hey.
- How's it going?
- Lay-lay, where you been?
You know, you and Naz
have a lot of similarities.
Did you guys have a good sex life?
We're not having this conversation.
Right.
Well, these are my friends
that I wanted to introduce you to.
Oh, you stick out like a sore thumb.
Textiles, eh? People
who prefer to be clothed.
Take a note from everybody here.
Towels are for sitting, not covering.
You don't see me wearing sofa
cushions to cover up, do you?
We go back to the trailer and chat?
- Yeah.
- Okay, after you.
Okay.
How you doin'?
Man, what what happened?
You had a seizure.
Yeah, you were on some messed-up drugs.
We, um
Found this in your pocket.
Purple Rain.
Helps me study.
Mm-hmm.
I feel really focused.
You know, I just
I just sprinkle a
little bit in my coffee.
- Hmm.
- It's amazing.
Seriously. So then, I said, I'd
You know, buy more to
share with my study group
and then, this morning,
I tried snorting it
That's the thing with these
new synthetic drugs, Ray.
The so-called manufacturer
can't be relied upon
to be consistent. Plus
The effects are completely different,
depending on how much you
take, or how you take it.
You you want to tell
me who you got it from?
I never met the person.
I just send an e-transfer
and then, get a text
of where to pick it up
in a mailbox on campus.
What mailbox?
Uh, well this time, it was in the area
where the professors' offices are.
In a mailbox, number 514.
And when did you pick it up?
Monday morning, 9:30.
Think I got there a few minutes later.
You bought these drugs
for your whole study group?
Yeah.
We're all freaking out, falling behind.
I bought some for everyone.
Your study group including Tueli?
Yes.
Yeah.
Kelly, hey. How's Ray?
Ah, they're gonna keep him
in the hospital tonight,
but he's gonna be fine.
How are you feeling?
Okay.
Yeah, okay. Uh
You don't need to look
after me, I'm fine.
Nathan will be back soon, so
Tueli, uh
Tueli, can you sit down?
I'm really tired, I should go to bed
Tueli, please.
Can you look at me?
I said, look at me, Tueli.
Look, we did this your
way. No cops, just friends.
So, here we are. Friends.
Ray gave that stuff out to
everybody in the study group.
Did you take any?
No.
But Ray's been fine until now.
His grades went up, he's
been writing amazing papers.
You have no idea how much
pressure is on me right now.
I have to get my scholarship
renewed for next year,
if I don't, I can't come back.
I'm doing my master's
program, I'm being a ta,
I'm spearheading two community
organizations in my spare time.
You don't get it.
I'm about to snap.
And you will snap if
you rely on that stuff.
Do you get that?
Thank you.
You're nicer with your clothes on.
Please don't tell Nathan.
He'll tell my mom.
They've been having
dinner together like,
once a month and I swear, if
he tells her, she'll freak.
You've been getting together
with Nathan and your mom, lately?
Just like, the last six months, maybe.
Since I started school.
All right.
Look, I gotta get back to work, okay?
But I'm glad you're Doing all right.
Well, thank you so much for your help.
Bad news. Our little
Monday morning drug drop
is a dead-end, literally.
Mailbox 514 belonged to
one Dr. Topper Levenson,
who passed away nine months ago.
So, unless Dr. Top Lev
is selling Purple Rain
from the great beyond
Someone else might have
co-opted his mailbox.
It could be anyone.
Yeah.
Top Lev.
Top Lev.
Levenson. Ray.
Didn't he say something
about a Professor Lev?
Psych 100, that's what he said.
Guess his TAs must have continued
teaching the course after he died.
There are two of them.
V. Sawyers and J. Maleki.
As in Veronica and Jody.
You think they still
have keys to his mailbox?
Uh
Well, according to
this, Jody was teaching
the abnormal psych tutorial
last Monday morning.
But guess who had that
Monday morning off?
Veronica Sawyers.
Leaving her free to
deal some Purple Rain.
Love it. Love it!
Veronica Sawyers.
Hi, Detectives.
Is everything okay?
Yeah, we'd like to know where
you were on Monday morning.
This past Monday? I was here.
I was giving my famous
APA citation demo.
It was pretty lit.
Really? Because the work schedule says
that you don't work Mondays.
Normally, no. Uh
This past week, Jody
begged me to cover for her.
She said she had a flute recital
of her niece's she had to go to.
Jody did?
Yeah.
Who has a flute recital at 9 am?
There.
There she is. Jody!
Can we talk to you?
Okay. Yeah, yeah.
Jody, stop!
Jody Maleki, you are under arrest.
For what?
This is harassment!
For this! Purple Rain.
I never meant to
Cause us any sorrow? Tell
it to the judge, sweetie.
Hands behind your back.
Layna tells me you two ladies
are looking for a powerful weapon.
Thing is, I'm having trouble
imagining what a couple
of sweeties like yourselves
want with a machine gun.
First of all, we're not that sweet.
Speak for yourself,
I'm pretty sweet. Me.
Sweetie so shy, she won't even
drop her towel at a nudist camp.
Uh
Well, no, I'm not shy. It's just, um
Like I have a Like, a B12 deficiency,
so I have a hard time
just keeping my hands
and really thin feet warm.
We're here because, well
We need protection.
Oh.
Hey!
What's going on?
Many seeds are
germinating. Physical seeds.
Plants, trees, seeds in my
mind, not to mention the seeds
of this undercover play we're on.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Where are we at? What's the progress?
Standby. I'm on it.
They're in the RV with Jeff.
I do know that.
Okay, I need to get closer.
- Oh, mm-hmm.
- It's not clothing optional.
Yeah, sir, I am a cop
and you have a guy in
there, selling guns.
Where's your warrant?
We don't have one.
We need to know the
guns are on the premises.
You're welcome to enter the premises
if you remove your clothing first.
Or are you saying that the
rules don't apply to you?
Look, I can't go in there naked.
The rules state you can
wear clothing for safety,
but it cannot be sexual in nature.
- That shirt, it's very sexual.
- What
Too sexual, take it off Kelly, let's go.
Is that fanny pack for safety?
- Yeah.
- It's where I keep my golf balls.
It's a good shirt.
Suits your eyes.
Move.
I don't buy you two as a couple.
Well.
Okay.
Listen, the truth is
Sarah and I, we dated the same guy.
I mean, not at the same
time. I dated him first,
then I broke up with him first,
then she started to date him.
Then like loads of other
people started to date him.
And then, I was like,
"oh my God, am I crazy
for breaking up with this guy?"
And they're all having this
really sexy and exciting
polyamorous relationship
and I'm just like ugh.
You know, like ugh, like plain Jane.
And then, we decided to invite her
into our polyamorous relationship.
Right, you did. Thank you.
And weirdly
I don't know, it just
I think it really worked
for me. So, it was like, me,
him and her, all together,
and loads more people.
Why not me?
The thing is, there's
just Some unsavoury people.
Okay, not that I think
that polyamory is unsavoury,
because I don't.
Well, there are some people
who don't have respect
for polyamory and they tend
to get a little aggressive.
Not aggressive, confused. Confused.
Some of them have been
known to show up armed.
Seriously?
So, if I want to walk
a guest to the door,
I would make sure
they take me seriously.
Yeah.
Okay.
Here she is.
Wow.
Yeah, well, 3k should do it.
Show me the money.
Okay, okay. Hang on a second.
Why are you guys inviting people
with guns to your sexy soirées?
Like, can't you figure out
a way to vet them in advance?
Your body, your choice!
Yes.
It is.
I get it.
It's a cover story.
This isn't real, got it.
What do you mean, cover story?
I didn't say cover!
Jeff, I said
Lover! I mean, lover of guns, clearly!
- Are you a rat?
- No!
GTPD, drop the gun now!
Purse pistol against a
machine gun? I like my odds.
How about two purse pistols
versus your machine gun?
Put it down slowly.
Thanks a lot.
Slow, get your hands up.
At your back, Kelly.
Hands behind your head,
Jeff. You're under arrest.
Ow!
Do you know what kind
of charges you're facing?
I mean, considering my immaculate record
and the fact that it's
a first offence, I mean
Please.
All right, listen to me very carefully.
All right?
This Purple Rain stuff, it's lethal.
If that kid Ray dies, you're
looking at manslaughter.
Oh.
Uh
Well, if I give you my supplier,
could that help lighten the sentence?
Well, it definitely wouldn't hurt.
Okay, so I get the product
through a network of gamers
called The Replicants.
They sell exclusively
through an online chat room.
- Battlebender.
- Yeah.
But then, a few days ago,
the whole operation went offline.
So, I was about to meet with my contact,
Jake Mardy,
and he was going to tell
me how things are moving,
now that the game's been shut down.
Jake Mardy?
Hey. That was a crazy day.
Yeah.
I know we haven't had
a lot of alone time,
and Tueli is not helping that.
And I cannot put her out.
I've known her since
she was a baby. So
No, I I get it.
So, will you come home with me tonight?
I don't know. Are you gonna
invite me to your next dinner
with Tueli and Vanessa?
Yeah. Caught wind of your date night.
Unfortunately, it didn't
come from you, though.
Kell, I have seen them
literally three or four times,
tops, in the last six months,
because Tueli is coming to
school here in town. That's it.
Yeah, so when I asked you
if you had anything else
to tell me, you didn't
think this was a thing?
No, I guess I didn't
think it was a thing.
Nathan, you know I have trust issues.
It doesn't take much for me to turtle.
Is that what's happening now?
Are you turtling on me?
All I'm saying is
I'm gonna spend another
night at my friend's house.
- Bye.
- Kell
I'm sorry, Kelly
Who goes there? I'm
just kidding, come in.
Hey, how are you doing?
Hmm. I'm fine. I'm in my
pajamas, my underwear, socks.
I've never been so grateful
to be fully clothed.
I just wanted to say thank
you for letting me crash here.
Are you kidding me? I love this.
Hey, wait, are you tired?
Hmm, not really.
Come on, come on, come on.
I have been craving this
since Dack Adams talked
about it yesterday.
He described a gory murder
scene and your takeaway
from that was, "damn, I gotta
get me some of those chips"?
Oh my God, like, it wasn't that gory.
Come on, we'll watch
Bridgerton season two.
All right, move your ass on over.
Yes! Yes.
Hey, are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine, you
know, it's just men.
Oh, men.
You know what? And women.
- Ugh! Really, right?
And people, really.
People.
- Blah!
- Not to mention this job.
Oh my God, I can't even
talk about work right now.
Okay, everything just makes me sick.
Yeah, me too. Except
for these chips and you.
