03x05 - Fish Called David

[bunniefuu]

- I found this in your pocket.

Purple rain?

You want to tell me
who you got it from?

- I get the product
through a network of gamers

Called the replicants.

I was about to meet with
my contact, jake mardy,

But then a few days ago,

The whole operation
went offline.

- Jake mardy?

- I mean, I just ask myself,

Like how well do I
really know nathan?

Because you know I was
gone for eight months

And I'm putting a whole lot
of my eggs in his basket.

- Kel, do you ever
really get over your ex?

- Uh... I certainly
hope nathan is over his.

- 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.

- You've been getting together
with nathan and your mom?

- Just like the last six months,
maybe. Since I started school.

- So... Will you come
home with me tonight?

- Are you gonna invite
me to your next dinner

With tueli and vanessa?

- Kelly...

- I... Just wanted
to say thank you

For letting me crash here.

- Ugh, men...
- Mm-hmm.

(gagging)
- you know what? And women...

(blows raspberry)
- ugh!

(laughing)
- egg beater!

- Egg beater is two words.
- No, it's one word!

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
- Yes!

- This is how it's done,
this is how it's done.

Set that timer, set that
timer. Are we ready?

In three, in two,
in one, bam! Boom!

Here we go.
- Mm-hmm.

Two words, tv show,

Gossip girls!
- Yes!

(sighs)

(chuckling)

- One word. (gagging)

Hangover!
- Yes!

(laughing)

- Off to a great start!

Two words.

Oh! Britney spears! Yeah!

- Yeah! Okay!
- That's three.

Two words.

Cold. Chicken?

Chicken clucking?

Cold turkey!
- Yeah!

Cold turkey! (timer ringing)

- Oh, yes!

(both): Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Woo!

- Are you kidding
me? You're cheating,

You got to be cheating.
- No, no, no, no, no.

It's a mind meld,
two peas in a pod,

This is the benefits
of oversharing.

- Yeah, well, you wait.
Next time, I'm gonna bring

My friend jen and we're
gonna kick your a*s.

(doorbell ringing)
- who's jen?

- Uh... It's her friend

Since she was a kid,

But no one's beaten skelly!

- Ro, we've got this, all right?

- Oh, we got this.

- We're just playing a
video game downstairs!

We're playing a video game
downstairs, bring the chips.

- Yeah. I got it,
I got it, I got it.

- Okay, you take it.

(indistinct chatter)

- Kelly?

Kelly, what are you doing?

- We talked about this.

I'm giving you and tueli space.

- No, that's not what's
happening right now.

What's happening right now
is that you're mad at me...

Because I went out
with my ex a few times

While you were out of town,

Because you found out
that she broke up with me

Instead of the other way around!
- Wow!

So, I guess you know
what's happening.

- Can we just talk about this?
- No.

I don't even know what
to say to you right now.

- Okay.

You want space?

I can give you space.

I'll give you all
the space you want.

(door closes)

(sighs)

(upbeat music)

- I had a lot of fun last night.

- Yeah, me too, right?

Trivia night at the crown,
it's always a great time.

- Mm-hmm.
- Anyway, I'll see you later.

- Hey, I wanted to
talk about Saturday.

I was thinking maybe we
could go to the aqualounge.

- Aqualounge on the east side,

Isn't that like a...
Like a swinger's club?

(laughing)
- yeah, only on tuesdays.

On saturdays, they
do shibari workshops,

The art of japanese
rope bondage.

- Wow! Yeah.

Um...
- You know what?

It's not your thing, never mind.

It's all good, I'll
just go with brett.

- I mean, who said
it wasn't my thing?

It's just, you know, 9
o'clock in the morning,

I just need a minute to wrap
my head around this thing.

- Right.

(clears throat)

- You know I had
sex on a boat once?

Yeah, in the ocean... Or a lake,

But it was a good time,

So it's not like I'm
a prude or anything.

- Oh my god, you guys!

- I was just trying to
convince naz to come with me

To the aqualounge on Saturday.

- Yeah.
- Wait... Hang on,

Aren't we hanging
out on Saturday?

Kidding! We're on Sunday.

Oh my god, did you see his face?

(chuckling)
- yeah, cool.

Sarah, sara, I...
I gotta go, so...

- Give me your calendar. It'll
take two seconds, come on.

- Yeah.
- Naz, if this is going to fly,

We got to integrate.

The love cats gotta
work as a team.

- Absolutely.

(indistinct chatter)

- Already had one.

Oh.

Morning, team. Shall
we get started?

Jody maleki, university ta

Whose side hustle is selling
purple rain to students.

Apparently, at low
doses, it can enhance

Both mood and focus,

So it's gaining traction
as both a study drug

And a party drug. Jody
says she bought it online

From a replicant member
named jake mardy.

Our job is to find jake,

Get some concrete
evidence against him,

Arrest him and find out
who's bringing this stuff

Into the country.

Unfortunately, jody's
never met jake in person,

However, I managed to
find two jake mardys,

Both of whom have drug records.

So, I'm thinking we
put a team on each...

(phone ringing)

Excuse me.

Hello?

Yeah, I'll be right there.

Uh... Pick a jake? Any jake.

Watch them, see who's
coming and going,

Bump 'em if you can, I gotta go.

- Two, two.

- Okay. Can we at least look
at them before we choose?

- Finders keepers.

- So, I just got a call
from a doctor fatima sharma

At the kornfeld forensic
chemistry institute.

She has the purple rain
chemical analysis ready,

But she... Wants to discuss
the results in person.

- Great. Can I put naz on it?

- No, no, she asked
for you specifically.

- Okay. Works for me.

- Oh, uh-uh, don't bother,
just... Take that one.

Hey, if it's okay with you,

I'd rather just work
in the office today.

- What, you don't want to
come to the jake recce?

What? No, come on, come on,
come on! Skelly in the house!

- I...
- I'm feeling lucky!

- I think I need
to talk to nathan.

Thanks.

- Hey. Sorry, what did I miss?

- Nothing major, but I'm sure
sam can fill you in on the way,

Is it cool?
- Yeah, sure.

- This jake mardy
is 66 years old,

Do you really think he's
selling purple rain online?

- I don't know, you
never really can tell

With these over 60s because
one time, judy and I,

We flew to florida to
surprise my grandparents

For their anniversary, I
walked with a big bunch

Of balloons and guess what?

We crashed their
swingers' party.

I saw a lot of things
I shouldn't have seen.

I had a lot of questions
that I got no answers for.

- Wow. Wow. (chuckling)

Actually, this...

May sound kind of weird,

Just because you
said swingers, um...

(inhales deeply)

Sarah wants to take
me to a sex club.

You know... I don't know,

I... I thought that I was
settling into this whole

Polyamory thing,
but like a sex club?

I don't know, I
feel like that's...

Well, I mean, it's
intimidating, you know?

Sorry, I don't... You know,
do you think I should...

- Okay...
- Just answer me,

Do you think I
should go or no way?

- I think... Wow.
- Yeah.

- That there's a... I...

(chuckling) okay.

Okay, is it like, um...

Is it a good intimidating
or a bad intimidating?

Like, you want to go bungee
jumping or you want to...

Enter a chili dog
eating contest?

- I don't know... Neither?

- Oh.
- Yeah.

- Wait, here we go.
- Whoa.

- What do you want?

You've been here for two
hours, gawking at my house

Like a couple of perverts.

- Do you want to?
- Yeah.

- Okay.

- Okay. Uh... Mr. Jake mardy?

I am detective wazowsky,
this is detective nazeer,

And we just have like a couple
of questions for you and...

Yeah, uh...

I'm just gonna get right to it,

Have you ever been part of
a criminal organization?

- I was raised
catholic, otherwise no.

- Well, how do you
explain your drug charges

From last year?

- That's why you're
here? (chuckling)

Okay, fine.

Last December, I
let alfie petrello

Keep his stash in my shop
for all of two hours.

Turns out there was a
tracker on the blow.

I got raided,

Told the pigs that
that was a mix-up.

Who do you think they believed?

Alfie senior hired
hotshot lawyers

And I spent
christmas in the can!

Thanks for reminding me!

- Thank you, mr. Mardy.

- Not our guy.
- Not our guy.

- Not our guy.

(phone ringing)

- Go for chase.

(sam): Hey, how's it going
over there with your jake?

- Hard to say, really.

Mid-thirties, big manga fan,

He got a gamer chair
with a rumble pack

Delivered this morning.

- Pretty sweet chair.
- Sweet chair.

- Okay, well, speaking of sweet,

I was just wondering,
are you guys planning on

Hitting up man-stock
this afternoon?

I hear there's a chili
dog eating contest.

Naz and I are
willing to head over

If those dogs are calling.

- That's very generous, sam.

Wanna eat hot dogs at man-stock?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

The dogs are definitely calling.

- Great. Uh... We're
gonna be over there in 20.

- Great.

Hot dogs. (chuckling)

- Huh?

Thank god,

Finally getting
up to take a pee.

- You try reading vexed
twins: Gentle blasphemy

Not in one sitting. (sighs)

You can't stop.
- No.

(soft music)

(indistinct chatter)

(phone ringing)

- Hello! I'm doctor
fatima sharma.

Pronouns she and her.

Please, uh... Call me fatima.

- Please.
- Hi there, I'm...

Just shadowing ds greene on
this case, but don't mind me.

- Ah, I won't.

Mentorship is a beautiful thing.
- Mm-hmm.

- I'm thrilled to be
working with you, nathan.

I attended your lecture
on identity theft

At the northeastern
fraud conference,

28 months ago.
- Okay.

- I have an extracurricular
passion for fraud prevention

And I found your thoughts
on voice biometrics

To be quite, uh...

Stirring.

- Uh... Thank you, it's
nice of you to say.

(clears throat) uh...

So, fatima, you're here
to talk about purple rain?

- I am.

After we received your sample,

Our lab conducted an
in-depth analysis of the drug

That you're calling purple rain,

Which is definitely schedule a.

We've also been using
international wastewater

Analyses to track where
new designer drugs

Are being used and so far,

Purple rain has only been
found in local wastewater.

- So, it's being made in canada.

- We also identified
the precursor chemicals

Used to make the drug
and as you can see,

All of them are legal
in this country.

- But it's not unusual for
designer drugs to be made

From legal chemicals, right?

- No, but the steps
required to make purple rain

Are very sophisticated.

- So, we're likely
looking for someone

With specialized
chemistry knowledge?

- Correct!

I imagine at the very least,
they have a master's degree,

But probably a phd.
- Oh.

- Like me,

First doctor in the family.

- Okay!

- I don't want to assume
anything about your sexuality,

Nathan, but if
you do date women,

Are you single, or open to
new partners at the moment?

- Oh.

Um...

I'm not currently looking
for partners of any gender,

But thank you for asking.

- Okay, so I got
sara two on Saturday,

That means sarah one on Sunday.

You got... That's Tuesday
and then Thursday...

- Jesus, I don't
know how you keep up.

- You know what?
I don't, really.

Like, I'm not good at this.

You know, I'm...

I'm trying to keep
them all separate,

But then apparently, I'm
supposed to like blend them.

- Wait.
- Integrate them.

- Shh. Hold up. There he is.

(sighs)

(exhales)

- Holy sh*t! Oh my god!

I know that guy.
- What?

- That's jake benson. (sigh)

Wow, he...

He finally took his
mom's last name.

He hated his dad.
- Who cares?!

Who is jake benson?

- It's like my old best
friend from high school.

- Are you kidding me right now?

You didn't recognize
that from the file?

- Well, you had the file
and I was on my schedule...

(overlapping arguments)
- Your 40 girlfriends!

And maybe we should
focus! Stop it!

Okay.

Are you still friends with him?

- No! We had a falling out
in like the 11th grade,

I haven't seen him
since high school,

What am I supposed to do now?

- I'm going to tell you
what you're supposed to do,

You're going to tell me everything
that you know about him.

Go.
- He likes... You know,

All-you-can-eat buffets
and two-for-one meals.

- Who doesn't? Be more specific.

- Okay! Uh... He likes
video games, he hates sauce.

Uh... Okay! Uh, he's a
really smart guy, actually,

I mean, he's really
into like japan and like

Ecstasy and stuff
like that. Uh... Oh!

He loved my neighbour's
koi pond growing up

And had a crush on my sister...

- Hi!

I'm sam from koi chicks,

I'm just here for your
pond consultation.

- My what?
- The pond con...

It's 37 harton street, right?

- Yeah, but I didn't...
Schedule anything.

- Ugh, god, I'm so sorry. Ugh.

I have, like, dyscalculia,
so I like invert numbers

Of like dates and
addresses and normally,

My partner, she does
all the consultations.

I... I... I'm sorry.

- Sorry, what... What
kind of consults?

- Uh... Koi ponds.
I'm a pond installer!

(chuckling)
- you know, it's funny

Because I, um...

I've wanted a koi pond ever
since I was a little kid.

- Are you kidding
me? (chuckling)

This is just like... Weird.

Um... Okay, for you,

I'm gonna give you a
complimentary consultation,

Because we have like,
a really great promo

On at the moment. Uh...
Two halves of a pond

For the price of a half.

- So, a full pond
for half... Price?

- That's exactly what
I'm talking about.

Uh... Above grounds
are 800, 850.

For you, my friend,
I'm gonna throw in

A couple of fish. I'm
gonna give you my card

So you can think about it.

I don't have a card,
I don't have a purse.

- Screw it, I'm...
I'm making bank now,

Let's do it!
- Oh my god,

I like your style. Carpe diem!

Carp 'cause of the...

How's tomorrow?

- Detective nazeer,
before you continue

With this case, we need to
have a chat about your friend.

First of all, I need
to know if jake mardy

Knows anything about you
that could become an issue.

- Sure. He knows I got
suspended for tp-ing

The portables in grade ten.

- So no skeletons?

- No.
- Good.

Were you two close?

Did you grow up in the
same neighbourhood?

- Sort of.

Yeah, he was in a high-rise,

I was on a cul-de-sac
a few blocks away.

His family was pretty messed up.

You know, he got caught
for selling ecstasy

And that's when my dad made
me stop hanging out with him.

I just... Kinda
felt like an as*h*le

For ditching him, you know?

I always hoped he
could turn it around.

This was 20 years
ago and respectfully,

I don't think knowing
a guy in high school

Was a reason to take
me off this case.

- Friendships make things muddy,

Professionally speaking,

You know, whether it be
a colleague or a target.

Maybe your loyalty
gets in the way.

Maybe you tell him
something you shouldn't,

Maybe you make assumptions
about his behaviour

That are no longer
useful or relevant.

Take it from me,

Compartmentalization
is a full-time job.

- I have no loyalty to this guy.

If he's dealing this stuff,
I want to get him for it.

- Fine.

You can, uh, stay in
the loop if you want,

Do some digging, whatever,
but no uc, no surveillance.

Maybe once we get him in,

You can be active
in a different way.

- Got it. Thank you very much.

And listen, I think I can be
very helpful on this case.

- I live in hope.

(chuckles)

- I love my little aquarium,
but I'm thinking that koi,

It's a bridge too
far, even for you.

- No, it's not for
me, it's for work,

Which is why I can't
really talk about it.

I just need to learn how
to install a koi pond.

I mean, that should be pretty
easy and I told my target

That I would build
it for him tomorrow,

So we gotta go!

- See, I don't think
this is a good idea.

- But we're already here,
and plus, you told me

That you wanted me to meet
jen, it's actually perfect.

- I have said that.
- So, what's going on?

- I may have spoken a
little bit too soon.

Jen can be... A
bit possessive.

- She doesn't want to meet me?

- She...

Doesn't want to meet you.

I'm sorry! Oh, god, she just...

She wants the friendship to
be separate, I guess, I...

- What? Are you kidding me? I
am charming! Look at my cords.

Listen, by the end of this,
we're gonna be braiding

Each other's hair and
making plans for pickleball,

I promise you, I will
not embarrass you.

(sigh)
- fine.

Let's go around back.

(rock music playing)

- My gosh, this place
is beautiful. I can't...

This is amazing.

Are you kidding me?

Is that a neon mushroom?
- Yeah.

Just don't touch anything.
- Look at this dragon.

Look at the horns on this baby.

I am not going home without it.

What?

Jen?

- Can I help you?

- Ha! (chuckling)

Oh, my gosh! I just
want to hug you.

You know what? I'm coming
in. It's happening.

I'm taking a hug, here we go.

This place is so gorgeous!

- Sorry that we
didn't call first.

Jen, this is sam,
sam, this is jen.

- Hello! Oh, my gosh, this one,

She will not shut up
about you, you know?

Foster sisters,
each other's rock,

A bond forged in trauma.

Actually, I'm really sorry,
that was highly inappropriate.

I just wanted to say to you
it is so nice to meet you.

Hi, I'm sam.
- Sam has a favour to ask.

- I don't even know sam.

- Well, any friend of ro's...

That means we're probably
gonna be best buds!

A rising tide, it
floats all boats.

Mi casa es su casa.
She gets it, she knows,

She's picking up what
I'm putting down, right?

- What do you need?

Oh, wow, we're doing
it again, okay.

- Not a ton of chemistry phds
with drug records. Big surprise.

- Naz, is there any way jake
could be making the drugs?

I mean, you did say
he was brilliant.

- No, not that
kind of brilliant.

The guy failed
grade ten chemistry.

(sighs)
- fatima said whoever's

Making this stuff is a genius.

- Fatima said! Fatima said!

Maybe doctor meet-cute
considers her own skills

A little more rarefied
than they actually are.

Naz, this woman was a whack job.

I mean, fraud prevention
ain't nobody's hobby.

And I mean, nobody finds
voice biometrics stirring.

Do you find it stirring?

- Kelly, what do you care?

Any more information
on jake mardy?

- Uh... Yeah, I mean,
no arrests since 2002,

No known associates,

I haven't been able to find
him on social media yet...

But he does own his house

And he has no source
of legal income

That I can find.

And his parents, they sure as
hell didn't leave him anything.

- Good.

That plus the info from jody

Should be enough for
a general warrant.

I'll go check on that.

- Why do you need to know about
koi for work? Aren't you a cop?

- I'm a detective.

- Like a pet detective?

- Not a pet detective.

I'm working on a case,
an ongoing investigation,

So I can't talk about it. And
I really would love to talk

About it because I'm a real
oversharer, which you would know

If you gave me half a chance.

If you don't want to help me
learn how to install a koi pond,

I'm sure there's lots
of people who could.

- Really? Lots of people?

- Okay, maybe not lots,
like maybe, like other...

- Yeah.

Okay, look, first thing
you need to know about koi

Is that they're basically
carp's cousin tiffany.

Prettier but...
- Oh.

- Just higher maintenance...

And undeniably overrated.
- Okay.

- Do you know how
to pick one up?

- No, I do not. I
do not know how.

- Okay. Just get your hands wet.
- Sure.

- And lift from underneath.
- Yeah.

- Okay, head facing toward you.
- Yes.

- Yep.
- Yes.

- Open your fingers so
you don't bruise the fins.

- Yes.
- Okay, and then the other hand

Just holds the back half.

Okay, okay.
- Yep.

- So, it's not
actually a magical koi,

It needs water to breathe.

- Yes. Yeah. Ah!
- Okay. Yep.

- Yeah.

- All right, sam's out here,
she says she has something

That she wanted to show us.

- No way!

(groovy music)

- Welcome to the pond, master!

- Okay. Koi chicks, really?

- Okay, listen, I know that
it's not the best name,

It's a bit retro, but it
just popped into my head

And this is a bit much,

But it was the only thing
big enough in the impound

That you could move
a whole pond with.

- But how'd you get
my silhouette, though?

- I'll tell you
how, from memory!

(chuckling)

- Okay, that's really
creepy as hell.

- I love the jackets.
You didn't happen

To make any extra, did you?

- Uh... What do you think?

(sighs)

All right, so we'll
set up the pond.

That should be a breeze.

- Then you fondle koi with
jake while I sneak inside,

See if I can find
anything to connect jake

With purple rain.

- All right.
- Nathan, we all good?

Hello? Nathan?

Hello!

- Calm down.

I just gotta get my
earpiece in place.

- You know the best way
to piss someone off?

Tell 'em to calm down.

- Or tell them nothing at
all, that always works great.

- Hey.

Is there a bit of an
energy between you two?

- Energy?

- Romantic energy.

- She's my girlfriend.

Well... My partner...

Partner, part...

Actually, I don't know
what we are right now.

- Nice.

I knew there was a vibe.

Just felt it, you
know? (phone chimes)

(laughing)

- Who are you vibing
with right now?

- Oh, I have a group chat
going with watts and swallows.

(chuckling) just
zinger after zinger.

Constant hilarity.

(laughing)

- Okay, is this the
filter or the pump?

- That's definitely the
filter. It's the pump.

- This is the filter?
- That's the pump.

That's the filter. I don't know.
- Wait, this is the pump?

What's the manual say?
- Well, I lost part of it.

Do you speak japanese?
- Yo, jake!

- Oh, hey.

- What the hell is this?

I thought we were
having a meeting.

- Yeah.

- What are you up to?

- What's happenin'? You know?

Like the joke. And then...

And then, watts replied,
"what's happenin'?"

But way too long, like
so many extra letters.

- Hey, koi chick.

Nice kicks.

Beetroot.
- Yeah, good eye!

You, uh...

Must be a sneakerhead?

- Yeah, a little bit.

Picked up the
grateful 3s last week.

- Nice.
- Now, I just gotta help

My buddy jake here.

You know, before he met me,
he used to shop at payless.

- Oh, come on.
- Yeah, well...

(chuckling) I was
making minimum wage,

So I wasn't gonna...

Spend my paycheque on shoes.

And not everyone
has a trust fund.

- Yeah, those were
the good old days.

Gotta hustle now, right?

Hey. (chuckling)

- You what I'm saying?

You got a bathroom I could use?

- Yeah, sure.

Just inside, to the right.

- Thanks.

- All right!

What do you say we
name these fish?

- Nathan,

You got a shot of the guy
who just came in the back?

- Yeah, I'm running
it right now.

Any idea who he is?

- Ah, his name is krish,

Maybe he's 35,

Said they had a meeting.

- Working on it.

(tense music)

(sighs)

- They're...
Awesome! (chuckling)

What do you think
we should call them?

- Uh... I got one, I got one.

David schwimmer.

- I love it! Yeah,
david schwimmer.

(♪)

(swing music playing)

- Kel? What... What's
going on? You okay?

- Shh!

Yeah, I'm fine, just trying to
get this lobster to turn off!

(swing music playing)

- What the hell is that?

(music stops)

(tense music)

Jake, seriously?

- Kelly, we got a really bad
case of fin rot out here,

It's terrible, you
should come out!

- Jesus, fin rot? Are they okay?
- Yeah, yeah, it just

Needs to be treated
immediately, like, right away.

Kelly! You can come out and
see the rotten fin, please!

(toilet flushing)

- Hey, did you hear
some... Some music or...

Something like that?
- Oh, that was me singing.

(chuckling) gotta
love those old

Girl groups, right?

- In the bathroom?

- Yeah, you got a
problem with that?

- No, no, no! What...

Hey, whatever...
Whatever works for you.

(chuckling)
- cool, cool.

- You gotta do you, right?
- Yeah! Yeah, got to.

(sighs) what happened?
Everything okay?

- Yeah, we just have
like, a case of fin rot,

So I just wanted to
talk to you about it.

Did you find anything? Oh,
my gosh, bit of a mix-up.

I just consulted with
my colleague over here.

Guess what? It's not fin
rot, it's fin nip. Yay.

So that's some really
good news for you.

And this is what we're gonna
do, we're gonna head out.

Invoice is gonna be in the
mail and you enjoy those fish!

Thank you very much, it was
lovely meeting you both.

Have a wonderful day!
- Yeah.

(krish): So, you're picking
up at yoyo's tonight?

(jake): Yeah.

Yeah, I'll be holding by six.

- Cool.

Enjoy your fish.

- Great, yoyo's at six.

- Yeah. What the hell is yoyo's?
- I have no idea.

Hey, do you want to carry this?

- Oh, no.
- Okay.

Maybe it's the
frozen yoghurt place?

- We've got a problem.

Apparently, there's
construction,

Something about a busker.

Spin team lost him,

But we know jake has
a pickup at six pm

At a place called yoyo's,

So if we can figure
out what yoyo's is...

- Could be a yo-yo convention?

Watts and I got
flyers at man-stock.

- Okay. Um...

There's also a yoyo's
toe and foot day-spa

That has, wait,
extremely low ratings.

Oh, gosh! Someone caught
hand-foot-and-mouth

Disease there.
- Oh, the coxsackie virus.

Coxsackie virus is no joke.
I mean, the blisters alone...

- Hey, what about yoyo's exotic
lounge on st. Clair west?

Used to be run by bikers.
- Yeah, the strip club.

- Yeah... That's what I
heard when I drove by.

- Well, I think I
remember jake and I

Trying to get in
there with fake ids.

We were like 14, I remember
the bouncer laughed at us.

- Do you think he'd
still hang out there?

- I wouldn't be surprised.

Actually, yeah, no, that
does sound about right.

The jake I know was really
into that kind of stuff,

Big hentai fan, you
know, anime porn.

- I don't know what that is.

- Anyway, I figure that,
strip clubs, all of it.

You know?
- All right, sounds like a lead.

If we're going in there,
we're gonna need backup.

I'm gonna send some uniforms
over there right away.

Naz, sorry my man. I
wish you could come!

(soft music)

(sighs)

(sighs)

(phone chimes)

- Hey! Hey! Guys!

Listen, I messed up.

Yoyo's isn't a strip club, yoyo
is jake mardy's girlfriend,

Yolanda pesci, I found
her on his viewpix.

- No, he's not on
social, we all looked.

- No, it's under a fake name.

It's linked to an
old e-mail address

That he had in seventh grade,

Diahrea85@hotmail.

- Where do we find yoyo?

(sighs)
- she is at 86 marine drive,

Condo 3f.
- All right, come on.

Do you think we'll make it...
- We'll keep you posted.

(tense music)

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey!

Eyes on jake, eyes on jake.

(tires screeching)

Hey, go for jake!
I'll go for the drugs!

(tires screeching)

(engines revving)

(tires screeching)

(sam): Guys, jake's on the move.

(nathan): All right, guys,
we're arriving on the scene.

(sam): Heading to the
south end of the lot.

- Uh... Where's our target?

- Travelling in a red car.
- Red car, got him.

- Good.
- Eyes on jake.

- Trying to cut him
off from the back.

Kelly's on her way too.

- Stop! Stop!

Stop! Gtpd!

- Get up!

Jake mardy, you're under arrest!

(cuffs clicking) come on.

- So, yolanda, how
long has jake mardy

Been putting his
drugs in your car?

- I told you, I
don't know the guy.

- How did he get your keys?

- I lost my extra key,
maybe he found it.

- Okay, yolanda,

Cut the crap because we have
photos of the two of you

Making out on viewpix.

- Okay, fine, he's my boyfriend.

I still had no idea he was
keeping drugs in my car.

- How long have you
two been dating?

- Six months, but I promise you,

I don't know
anything about this.

- Okay. Uh...

Yolanda...

What did you want to
be when you grew up?

- I don't know. Uh...

A hand model.

- A hand model?

Why not a vet or a rock star?

Maybe even a ballerina?

- You know what, as a wise man
once said, any dream will do.

The point is it is still
not too late for you

To go after your dreams.

- I think it actually might be.

- Is that a foot?

- Uh... You know what,
let's just put a pin in it,

I mean, what do kids
know? When I was a kid,

I wanted to be a unicorn, so...
- How about now?

What are your goals now?

- Well, I kinda...

Want to become my own girlboss.

My aunt has been selling
hydra-nutriderma products

And she made all
these new friends

And manifested attending this
wicked conference in vegas.

- Okay, so are you really
willing to give up on becoming

A hydra-nutriderma girlboss

To rot in prison for a
guy that you've only known

For six months?

- You know what, if you
tell us about the operation,

Maybe we can manifest
a deal for you.

- Maybe... You're right.

(gasps) maybe this
was meant to happen,

To push me to go for it.

Fine, what do you want to know?

- Who's making the drugs?

- I don't know, but you
should definitely ask krish.

- Why?
- Because...

He's the head of the replicants.

(scoffs)

- Huh.

(crickets chirping)

(tense music)

- Uh... We just came because...

Um, we're trying to strategize
how to approach jake.

We're gonna go, we can
go... Somewhere else.

- I want to do it.

- It's just that...

Gloria wants us to...

Turn him to use him
as an informant.

- Yeah, I know.

I talked to her and it's okay.

- Sure.

- Hey, buddy.

- Nazeer?

Right, yeah, I...

I heard you became a cop.

Wait, did you...

Were you part of all this?

- Not really, no. I, uh...

I backed off when I
found out it was you.

- So, what are you
doing here, then?

- Well, I'm here to
offer you a deal.

- Oh.

How kind of you, yeah, a deal...

From my old pal taai.

The same guy who ghosted
me, what, 20 years ago?

Yeah, I'm thinking
no, thank you.

- Come on, man.

They got you on possession
with intent to distribute.

(sighs)

- The drugs were
in yolanda's car,

How was I in possession of them?

- You can stop all that,

Yolanda told us everything.

We know that you're a replicant.

We know that krish is your boss.

We know that you've been
distributing purple rain

Through an online chat room,

And we know that that
system's been shut down.

What we don't know...

Is how big this thing is,

Or who's making the drugs.

If you cooperate,

I can patch you out as
a confidential informant

And you can help us get krish.

Get the manufacturer,

Bring the whole thing
down. (chuckling)

- Isn't it ironic?

Oh my god, dude.

The original snitch...

Wants to turn me into a snitch?

I mean, seriously,
that's messed up.

- How am I a snitch?

- You're the whole
reason I got expelled!

Kicked out of humberside
for selling e.

Come on.

The principal said you told her.

So, I got sh*t canned.

- I didn't tell them anything.

Jake, look at me, I...

I didn't tell her anything.

If she told you that I did,
it's... Just to get you to talk.

It's one of the oldest
tricks in the book.

(sam): This must
be so hard on naz.

- Naz will be fine.
You know, we got a...

Replicant in custody,
a possible ci

And a trunk full of purple
rain off the street.

- Yeah.

Yeah, I guess.

Just...

(kelly): What if
they stayed friends?

Maybe jake wouldn't
be in this situation.

- Just one misunderstanding.

Just one.

They never speak again.

And then,

It's like their lives
diverge forever.

(♪)

- Yo! Sarah! Hey! Hold up.

- Hey, what's going on?

- Listen, uh... I'm
good for Saturday.

- What?

Oh.

Oh... No, that's...

That's fine, I...

I didn't mean to put any
pressure on you at all.

- I...

I really want to be able
to talk about things, okay?

Because when you don't
talk about things

Is when everything goes to sh*t

And I don't want that
to happen, all right?

You want to go do this thing?

I want to know about it,

I want to even try it... Maybe.

I'm not saying that I'm gonna...

Love it or anything,

But you know what
I mean? (chuckling)

I... I want to try.

- Okay.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- Okay. (laughing)

Okay.

(sigh of relief)

- To your work win.

- To you.

- Mmm.

- And jen, she's
great, your friend.

Yay, jen!

- It's okay, sam.

Like, I love jen, but she
can be a bit of a b*tch.

- You said it. (chuckling)

- Uh... Yeah, I mean,
that's why all my friends

In high school were
terrified of her

And we always had this weirdly
compartmentalized friendship.

- Well, I think it's...

You know, I think it's okay

To keep things
separate, sometimes.

- Don't worry, I'm not
gonna make you two hang out.

- No, I do mean that, I think
it's good to have space,

You know, be different
versions of ourselves

With different people.
- That's true.

Sometimes with jen, I...

It's like I'm right
back in high school.

- It's weird that you
should mention that.

Uh... One of my coworkers,
another detective,

Was best buds in high school

With our koi-loving drug dealer.

- Seriously?
- Yeah.

20 years later, they still know

How to get under
each other's skin.

I guess you just can't shake
that type of friendship.

- Well, that's why it's
good to have a friendship

Without baggage for a change.

Cheers.
- Cheers.

Let's down it.
- Mmm.

(chuckling)

(door opens)

(soft music)

- Can I get you anything?

- Um... A beer would
be nice, if you got it.

What you cooking?

- Fish chowder.

- Please.

(bottle opening)

Look, nathan, you're right.

I am petrified.

I've been gone for
eight months and...

(sighs)

You and I have barely

Spent any time together,

And I don't know
what you're thinking,

I don't know how you're feeling.

- I think I've been pretty
clear how I'm feeling.

- Yeah... You're
right, you have.

Then, I got insecure about...

Your ex and...

You know, I was thinking
maybe you thought I wasn't

Living up to...

Whatever you thought I
should be, I don't know.

Maybe that I was super annoying

Or... Arrogant

Or so difficult,

Never thinking about anybody
but yourself, kelly marie duff.

- Okay, I don't think
you're difficult,

Except when you're
not talking to me,

But I've never thought,

Said or felt any of
that other stuff.

- Well...

That's what my mother told
me every night of my life.

Well, the nights when
she was there, which...

Was barely ever.

Me and karina, raising
four little kids.

I was a kid practically myself,

I was like 12.

So, in the end,

I thought that the lone
wolf was the best way to go.

- Kelly.

I'm sorry.

- Nathan.

I love you.

So much.

With every part of me.

And you're a good man.

(kelly sighs)

You're like the best
relationship I've ever been in.

And all I want,

All I want is...

Just to be with you.

And I want to stop.

I want to stop
playing these games,

I want to stop playing
defence and being so stupid.

- Okay, that's okay.

Let's do that.

Let's stop playing games,
let's stop playing defence.

Let's do this thing. (sighs)

All in.

- What? Like...

- Yeah, let's get married.

I'm not kidding.

- I don't want the
stupid stuff, okay?

No rings, no parties...

- No stupid stuff,
no rings, no parties.

Just you and me.

- All in.

- I'm trying to
grow old with you.
