And your name is...?

Uh, I go by switch.

- Get in, plant the devices,

We'll let you know
when they're engaged.

- Sweet baby jesus!

- Switch 89. Restocking
the sand bags.

- He's using the video
game to sell drugs!

- You're under arrest.

Hey! Gtpd, stop!

no, no, no, no, no!

Don't cry!

If I can't even babysit,

What am I gonna do if
we have our own family?

- He who never
showers never shines.

- You're right.
Okay, I'll shower.

Thanks, sweetie.
- Okay.

- Prove me wrong.
Prove yourselves.

But until then, neither of
you are part of the a-team.

- Morning, babe.
- Morning.

Gotta get to work!

- So this is my life now?

Aw...

He didn't mean it.
Did you, brixy?

- Yeah, this is the
third morning in a row

Little brixy's peed on me.

Starting to take
it personal, bro.

- Catch. Nice!

Oh, sh**t, did you put the,
um, teething rings in the...

- Freezer? Already done.

- Oh, yes, nice!

We getting the hang
of this, aren't we?

- Yeah, just a little
bit. We in charge, bro.

Oh.

Who is that?

Who's at the door?

- Karina!

What are you doing here?

- Well, top of the
morning to you too.

- Karina...

Aren't you supposed
to be at the hospital?

- Damn, does anybody
say "hi" around here?

Hi!

Okay, okay...

The doctor came by this morning

And gave me a clean
bill of health.

- Okay, wait... I'm
sorry, I'm confused.

Um, I thought you
had physical therapy

For at least another week.

- I excel at everything,
why not rehabilitation?

humility becomes you.

- Doesn't it? Uh,
where's brix's bag?

- Uh, upstairs, I'll get it.
- Thank you. Hi!

- Wait, why do you need his bag?

Are you leaving? Like, now?

- Well, not unless
you're making breakfast.

- But karina, what
are you talking about?

You didn't call, you
didn't send a text.

And we know how much you
love a strongly worded

Yet concise email.

- Mm.
- Come on, man,

We're just getting
into a routine.

- Look, I am so grateful

That you were there for
brix when I couldn't be.

But we need to get back
to our life, kelly.

And you and nathan
need to do the same.

- As much as I hate to admit it.

I know you're right.
- I know.

And remember, we're
only two hours away

And we will visit all the time.

So...

Come on, give me
back my baby, kel.

Kelly.

Ke... Kel.

Give me back my baby.
Give me back my baby!

- What do you...
- Come on, man,

Give me back my baby.

♪ Baby love, my baby love ♪

♪ I need you, oh
how I need you ♪

♪ but all you do
is treat me bad ♪

- Sam wazowski.

Looking good.

- Thanks. You're here early.

- I've been burning
the midnight oil

Tracking this purple
crystal stuff.

You know, I could use
your eyes on something.

- Yeah, sure.
- Yeah.

You see...
- Oh f...!

- Geez, I'm sorry, my bad.
- No, no.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm good.

- I didn't mean to hit you...
- Yeah.

- In your head.

- Good morning!

What are you doing?
- Nothin'.

- Alright, people,
let's look alive.

Here we go.

- What is this?

A pop quiz?

- What's an ipr?

- I got this. Intellectual
property rights.

- Hey, how do you know that?

- Oh, I invented
finger stickies, yeah.

I was actually gonna call
them finger lickies...

- Yeah, no, you know what?

Fascinating, but in this case,

It stands for individual
progress report,

Emphasis on "individual".
These are necessary metrics

I apparently need to support
my decision-making around here.

- Question, do we get to
fill these out ourselves?

- Yeah. But it's
not an opportunity

To toot your own horns, right?
This is a practical form.

Just lays out the
case progress, right?

Impact of your bust, number
of g*ns you apprehend,

Street value of the
drugs, that sort of thing.

- Uh, respectfully, commander,

Is this the best
use of our time?

- If it wasn't, would I
be giving them to you,

Detective sergeant greene?

- Uh... I think
it's a great idea.

I think it's a fantastic idea.

Like, such a good idea like
the um, you know the...

The... The finger stickies.
- Oh, thank you, samantha...

- No...
- Thank you, sam. Okay, people.

Come on, let's get busy.

There's been a 30%
increase in 911 calls

From university campuses over
the past couple of weeks,

Students having
violent outbursts,

Students having seizures,

Students walking around so
high, they're like zombies.

- Zombies who lick?
- What?

- It sounds like
those purple crystals.

- Yeah.
- Yeah, you know what?

There were four kids
admitted last night

To st. Mikes.

Nobody knows anything
about this drug,

Where it's coming
from, who's selling it,

So we're really gonna
roll up our sleeves here,

This is high priority. Go.

- We can talk to switch,

See if we can figure out
where his supplier is.

- Good!
- We could head down

To st. Mikes and
interview these kids.

- Yes.
- Maybe sam and I

Can go to u of t, ask
around, get some intel.

- Yeah.
- No.

I've got some
black-market pistols

I want you to look
into. Not much to go on,

Just some debriefing
notes. Okay everybody,

Iprs due the end of each
day, please, and thank you!

- Okay, I'm sorry,
what does this mean?

- You got benched. Again.

- Well, I'm not just
going to sit by.

- I have about ten minutes
before I have to be

On the front steps for
a press conference.

What do you want?

- Okay, you need to speak
to the unit commander.

- Yeah, because she
keeps putting us

On these random a*s cases.

- You doing a good
job with them?

- Of course we are.
- So what's the problem?

- That's what we want to know,

'cause it feels like
she's targeting us.

- Yeah, when we should be
targeting this deadly new drug,

But she keeps beaver-damming us.

- Boss, maybe we're
reading all this wrong,

But just in case,
can you talk to her?

Please?
- Okay, I'll feel her out,

But in the meantime,
keep your noses down,

Do the work.
- Work?

You mean homework. Like,
in the form of these iprs.

- I-p what now?
- Exactly.

- Oh... I think I know
what this is about.

Okay, um...

Gloria and I, we have our
firearm requalification

Together later today. Ju...

Give me some time,
I'll deal with it.

- Thank you.

By the way, you look amazing.

- Everyone is gonna be
saying, "who is the hottie

On the steps of the
police station?"

- Yep.

I still got it.

- So, um...

You and naz looked a
little cozy this morning.

What was that about?
- Nothing, it was work.

We're... Work.
- Oh, I see,

You were just looking
for your next lead

In each other's eyes?

We're, uh...

Colleagues. We're
colleagues and...

I chose steve, remember? So...

- Wow, check this out.

These three black-market pistols

Were all picked up
in the grasslands.

- That's weird. It was
like six months ago,

And I was in uniform,
and we conducted a very

Successful clean-up initiative
in that very neighbourhood.

- Huh...
- Wait a second,

Look at these g*ns,
they're identical.

- Yeah.
- Check out the marks on them.

These are all crosses,
which is the signature

For the crosses g*ng
in the grassland.

- Okay, I really think
you should rethink

Calling that neighbourhood
clean-up a success.

- Look, just what I thought.

The crosses were all arrested

In a big bust last year.

- Wait, so they're all in jail?

- Except for one. Percival
"trigger" simmons.

Head of the g*ng, released
early for good behaviour.

About two months ago
around the same time

The first g*n was apprehended.
- Trigger.

Now that doesn't scream

"ill*gal firearms
dealer" at all.

- Let's start making some calls

And see if we can
track trigger down.

- So, how's the lakeshore
treating you, switch?

- Like a king.

What do you think?
- Well, help us help you.

Tell us who your supplier is.

- I don't know.

I only sold purple rain the
one time, barely a player.

- Is that what
they're calling it?

That's very interesting.

Because the inventory
list on your laptop

Suggests you've been
bathing in purple rain.

- Come on, man! You gotta
help me get outta here.

- Why are you so eager to
get out of here, anyway?

So you can go back to
your fantasy life online?

Meanwhile, you're out
here hurting real people

With this purple rain garbage.

Like those two who attacked
my colleagues in your house.

- Man, you don't know me.
- True.

But then there's something
you don't know about us.

We found your stash.

- Switch, I'm gonna
put this in terms

That maybe you'll appreciate...

It's game over.

unless...

You're willing to play.

- I wasn't lying, I don't
know who the supplier is.

I picked up the drugs
from a lock box.

I only communicated with
them through battlebender.

- Which has just been shut down.
- Thanks to you.

- And you have no idea how
the drugs are being sold now?

- Nope.

- You know who's great
at finding drug dealers?

Drug addicts.

Let's go talk to one
of those zombies.

- Name's goldy bouchard.

And you're not the first cops

To ever call looking
for my grandson.

So what do you want
with him this time?

- We'd rather speak
directly with him.

- What about?

- With all due respect,
I don't think you'd know

Anything about this.

- Try me.

- See the marks
on these handles?

These g*ns have been turning up
a lot in the grasslands lately.

- Trigger hasn't been
in the grasslands

Since he got out.

Not even to visit me.

He moved to oakville with
his girlfriend, got a job,

The little one on the way...

He's really turned things
around this time, finally.

Besides...

Trigger wouldn't go near
these shoddy pieces of crap.

- What do you know about g*ns?

- I'm a retired gunsmith.

When it comes to
g*ns, I know a lot.

- Listen, I think it's
great that you think trigger

Has really turned things around.
Unfortunately, we have no reason

To feel the same.

Wazowski, looks like
we're going to oakville.

- No, no, wait.

Yuppies may be taking
over the grassland,

But I'm part of the foundation.

No one minds much what
they say around me.

What if I knew where the
g*ns were being sold?

- Then we might not
need to go to oakville.

So goldy says that
whoever's selling the g*ns

Are working out of this plaza.

We just have to
sniff out the dealer.

- Finally!

Officers.

- Uh, detective
samantha wazowski,

Detective kelly duff.

- Detectives! This is good.

You should be able to
help me. Osmund omiri.

Uh, my uncle left this plaza
to me in his will last year.

Friends call me oz.

- Nice to meet you, mr. Amiri.

- I'm sorry, what, uh,
seems to be the problem?

- So, this woman emails me
about leasing that space.

Says she rented it for
years from my uncle

For a summer church camp.

So we finalized the seasonal
contract over email.

Next thing I know,
I'm getting complaints

From other leasers
about the noise.

And I'm on the next
flight out of san diego

On day two of comicon.

- And what exactly, uh,
do you want us to do?

- I need action! Charge
them so I can get out

Of this fraudulent agreement.

- Yeah, we're not here for
petty noise complaints,

Mr. Amiri.

We're looking into
real criminal activity

In your plaza.

- Have you seen any
g*ns in your premises?

- I've never seen
a g*n in my life.

Are you telling me
I could get shot?

- Please, please, calm down.

We're just here to ask
you a few questions.

- Well, if you're
looking for law breakers,

I'd start there.
And if I were you,

I would do it soon.
I have your names,

I will call your superior
officer person, so...

- Okay.
- Wow.

- Point taken.

- Wow.
- Um, I would rather write

Reports for ballard all day
than ever help that guy.

- Right?

- So where do you want to start?
- Uh...

Church camp?
- Okay.

- But I prefer to go in alone,

Let the people warm up to me

Before I start asking
them about g*ns,

Know what I'm saying?
- I get you.

I got you.

I'll start at the
other end of the plaza.

- Welcome to preppy carnival.

I'm the owner, anne-marie.

Have you ever been
in caribana before?

- No. I've always
wanted to though.

I'm always working that weekend.

- Let's change that.

- Mm-hmm!
- Where have you been?

don't fret.

I have the perfect
costume for you.

- Yes? Yes!
- Yes! Follow me.

- So I can go chippin'
down the road!

- Now the wings are an
extra hundred dollars,

But trust me, frontline
is the only way to go.

You're paying for
the experience.

Oh, it's looking real good.

I just wanted you to get a feel.

- Oh, I am feeling
myself in this.

- Alright. Hold on...

Your necklace is just
getting in the way.

You're a cop?

- Wow, you're
really good at that.

Gum-cracking.

- Oh, I'm good at everything.

What's this about?

- Purple rain,

The stuff we found by your shirt

When you were dancing
topless in trinity bellwoods.

- I mean, hey, that's
legal in ontario!

Not like I remember it, though.

I was riding a real high.

Well, I-I know
you guys are cops,

But like, you should try it.

It's not for amateurs.

But when your body
gets used to it, wow.

- Yeah, that's a
great sales pitch.

But people are
actually overdosing.

They're dying.

- The amateurs.
- Right.

So, now that we've established
you're a pro at taking drugs,

Maybe you can help us figure out
where they're getting 'em from.

- Come on, why would I do that?

I mean, you guys got
me on what, a dime bag?

It's not my first drug charge.

- I guess, what, you'd rather
us tail you everywhere you go

To find out who you're
buying from? That way?

- Good luck.

Switch was my connect.

Not for lack of trying,
but purple rain is tough

To come by on a corner.

The people dealing
it are outcasts.

Nerds. Gamers.

Nobodies.

And the thing about nobodies,

They aren't on anyone's radar.

They're practically invisible.

Can I go now?

- Actually yeah, sure.

Can I get my baggie
back?

- Not a chance.

- So how long have
you been open for?

- About three months.

It's only a matter of time

Before we open a
second location.

Especially with
spencer in my corner.

- Hi, uh, detective wazowski.

- Spencer taylor.

What can I help you
with, detective?

- We've just been noticing some
g*ns popping up in the area,

I'm wondering if you've
noticed any criminal activity

In and around the plaza?

- Well, the only
crime I've witnessed

Is the non-stop noise
coming from over there.

It's bad for business.
- Love the culture.

It's just so noisy.

it was, uh,

Nice to meet you, detective.

- What's his deal?
- He's a visionary entrepreneur

With radical ideas.

Like, okay, right now,
he's supplying my juice bar

With discarded fruits
from his brother's farm

In central valley.

get it?

Junk juice.

Juice...

I get it. So...

- I was gonna tell
you when I came in,

But then you started talking
about the costumes and...

I didn't mean for you
to find out like that.

And I'm not here
about the music,

Although mr. Amiri did think
this was a church camp.

- That boy is nothing
like his uncle.

Rest his soul.

No appreciation for culture.

I said I was running a mas camp

Where masqueraders come and
buy their costumes for mas,

Aka carnival, aka caribana.

- It was a misunderstanding.

- I've been running my
operation out of this plaza

From April to August for years.

And this is the first time
I'm getting a noise complaint.

- Did you say you've been
open around two months?

Move! Move!

- Call an ambulance!

- You okay?

- I'm shot, what do you think?

- He's okay.
- Oh my god, spencer.

- Stop!

Move! Move, move!

- Hey, hey, officer,
he's in the trunk.

- Show me your hands.

- The doctor said
it was a clean hit.

Straight through and through.

Can't say you're not lucky.

- Can't say that I am.

Hey, hey, what are you doing?

- Oh, it's evidence.

- Do you want to tell
us what happened?

- One moment I'm upright,
heading to my car.

The next, I'm on my a*s.

- We've gathered as
much, but anything else?

Was there anyone around you?

- Obviously there was.
But I didn't see them.

- Okay, um...

Do you know why anyone
would target you?

Like, did you have any words
with anyone at junk juice?

- Or anyone else from another
business at the plaza?

- Sure, I-I carped
about the music

At the church camp
sometimes but mostly to oz.

wait, are you...

Are you victim blaming?
- No, what?

We're just trying to establish
motive, like gather facts.

- Look, I appreciate it.
I wish I could help you,

But I've told you
everything I know.

Now, if you don't mind,
I'd like to get some rest.

- Okay.

- Yeah. Mm-hmm.

- Ugh, firearm requalification
always kind of creeps up on you,

Doesn't it? But I'm so glad
that I get to do it with you.

- In 25 years,

Have I ever missed
the opportunity

To beat you at anything?

- Not everything is a
competition, gloria.

- But isn't it so much
more fun when it is?

- Oh!
- Yes!

- Be my guest.
- Thank you.

Oh, you win some, I win some.

- The line is no longer safe.

- Hm, not bad for
someone who hasn't been

On the beat for 15 years.

- Okay, I'd like to
see you do better.

Oof!

- I didn't have lunch.

- That's not all you missed.

Four in the black.

- The line is safe, moving
forward to check targets.

- Wow.

Look at you doing so well

Just soaring above it all.

- Does that bug you?
- No, of course not.

Rising tides raise all
boats for us gals, remember?

- Mm-hmm, so then why
are you trying to sink

Some of the boats on your team?

- What? What the hell
are you talking about?

- Sam and kelly...
- Oh, my god.

- You keep sending them
on scavenger hunts.

- Not scavenger hunts.

I have a pile of unsolved
cases on my desk,

Many of which were there
when it was your desk,

I might add. They're
doing good work.

- Yeah, but it's not the
work they should be doing.

Look, I think I know
what this is about.

I reinstated sam and kelly
without consulting you first.

And I know that you're also
up for the superintendent job,

So I get it, I-I get it.

- When we were coming up,

We could not make a call
without some man stepping in,

Telling us how to do our job.

You know what? I'm... I am fine

With you getting the
position over me,

I can deal with that,

Especially with the
way things are now.

I mean, this is your
time... I get that.

What I can't deal with

Is you using that
position to minimize mine.

Just like the guys used to do.

- I'm not sure why you're
trying to equate our struggles

When it's crystal clear to me

That you haven't forgotten
that I'm a black woman.

Oh...

This one's mine.

It's my time now.

Oh, gloria.

You know what?

We could compare
resumes all day.

I think we both know

That it would take a
lot longer to read mine.

- Okay, leandre sealy, 23.

He moved from saint lucia
to canada three years ago...

To study visual
arts, is that right?

- You became a permanent
resident not too long ago?

- Unfortunately, it makes
things a lot harder for you.

Pr status means you're
not just looking at time,

But also deportation.

- Did you ever see that man?

- Yeah, I did... I did
see him around the plaza.

Have you ever spoken
to him?

- No, that man
seems like an idiot.

- Is that why you shot him?
- Eh, eh?

So what, do you just go
around sh**ting idiots?

- Listen, I'm not the one that
fled the scene of a crime.

- And I doesn't walk
around with a g*n, officer.

- Okay. Okay.

We're just trying to
figure out what happened.

What were you doing
back there anyway?

- I was organizing
mas camp supplies.

I take a break from
it to go and pee.

- Did you see anything?

- As I'm fixing my pants, I
hear that idiot on the phone.

Next thing you
know, I hear a bang.

So like any normal person,
I go and duck behind a car.

- Why did you run?

- You know, I may have
only been here a few years,

But it didn't take me long
to see how you officers

Look at me.

Guilty until proven innocent.

That true, officers?

I ain't saying another word
until my lawyer reach there.

- You think he's
telling the truth?

- I don't know.

I can't figure out his motive.

And for someone in the hot seat,
he's playing it really cool.

Agreed.

But there's one way to be sure.

We follow the evidence.
We have the b*llet.

- Gotta find the g*n. The
team's searching right now.

- Hm.

So let's retrace his steps.

- Did you get anything out
of that chat with lynn?

- Ugh, not really, no.

Except, we need to
think like a nerd

To figure out where
we should be looking.

My lord, you
have left me no choice

For your disgrace of the king,
I will maim you with my lance.

Thine chivalry
knows no boundaries.

- What the hell are
they talking about?

- That, my friend,
is nerd speak.

I want your
blood, sir watts.

Ah! No!

- You guys, uh...

Having some fun with
your food there?

- Just clowning around.
- Yeah.

- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.

- Yeah.

- Uh, how'd it go
at the hospital?

Did you find out anything?

- Not much, no,

Although whoever's
dealing to those kids

Is smarter than switch.

- Students did find their
drugs through battlebender

Until it got shut down,

But they didn't meet up to pay.

Instead, they
e-transferred money

Through to weird
email addresses.

And get this,
contactless pick-ups.

Nobody seems to know
who they're buying from.

- Yeah, and they say
post-secondary education

Is a scam.

- Cool, cool.

Well, we just wanted to, um...

Pick your brain about something.

- Same, we actually wanted

To ask you guys for some advice

Because most of these kids
seem to be dorks like you.

- Yeah.

- Excuse me?
- You know,

Do-gooders, brown-nosers,

Bootlickers, cow
towers, suck-ups.

- Yeah, the opposite of us.
More in line with... Dorks.

- Dorks.

- You think we're dorks?

- Mm... Yeah.
- Yeah.

wha...

Who here is a larper?

- My point exactly.

- No, no, that's
my point exactly.

- You seriously think we're
the bigger nerds here?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Yes! Of course!

- Just looking at
you. Obviously, yeah.

- Absolutely.
You're so serious.

- Yeah.
- You never laugh.

- We make jokes.

- Yeah, dorky jokes!

- Pfft! You think you
can do any better?

Time for a joke-off.
- Yeah, lay one on us, dorks.

You think you can make us
laugh? 'cause I bet you can't.

Ain't gonna happen, watch.
- Oh, god...

- Alright, geeks!
- No, no, don't, please.

- Knock, knock.
- Who's there?

- Okay, stop.

Please, a riveting debate

That could go on
endlessly, I'm sure,

But I have some news about
that woman you two interviewed

A couple of hours ago.

- Lynn. We didn't get
very much workable intel,

But we're working on putting
something together...

- She was just found dead.

She overdosed on
those purple crystals.

So...

How about we just accept
that we're all nerds,

Equal but different,
and figure out

Where this stuff is coming from?

Alright?

- Commander.

If it's becoming that
serious, maybe we should...

Let sam and kelly join
us on this investigation.

We need 'em.

- Hey, kelly!

I mean, detective.

- She's good, let her through.

- What?

A white boy takes a
b*llet behind my mas camp

And I have to shut down?

- I can understand
your frustration,

But leeandre fled the
scene through here,

We have to search it.

- The only way this
mas camp functions

Is with the help of
volunteers like leeandre,

Who's been helping
me with my supplies

Since he came to canada.
He ain't no criminal!

Just because he's a black man...
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!

You don't think I get that?

Look, if he's innocent, the
evidence should prove it.

- But I cannot afford
to stop production

For your investigation.

I need to grab a few things.

- Anne-marie, I just gotta check
that before you take it out.

- Why, the other officers

Already tore my
supply space apart.

- Please, don't
make this difficult.

It will just take a few seconds.

Thank you.

- See? Nothing except a few
costume supplies and so.

- Sam.

- Is that an actual g*n?

Was that in your church camp?

- I swear, that was not
here this afternoon.

ask the
other officers.

- Check out the
cross on the grip.

- This came from our dealer.

Yup.

- Can I have a word?

- You'll probably need several.

- Superintendent
is my dream job.

And what I said yesterday was...

A band-aid for a bruised ego.

Anyone looking at the evidence

Can see the most
qualified cop got the job.

I was wrong.

And I'm sorry.

- Thank you for owning that.

And it's not all you,

I undermined your position when
I reinstated sam and kelly.

It was unfair and this is
me officially backing off.

- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

And gloria...

If you mess up, I am the one

Who has to wear it in
front of the cameras.

So don't make this
hottie look bad.

- Mm.

- Just looking at
this ballistics report

For the mas camp g*n.

- Mm-hmm.
- Larry tested it,

Almost shot his foot off.

Says it's got a
faulty trigger pull,

Under one pound,
highly sensitive.

- Sounds like a typical
Saturday night special to me.

Available, cheap,
and unreliable.

- It's right here
in black and white.

This was the g*n
to sh**t spencer.

I mean, partial prints,
but too small for any hits.

- Okay, what do we
know, what do we know?

Uh, we know that...

Spencer was shot with the
same type of g*n that's been

Showing up in the grasslands
for the past two months.

Within that timeframe,
mas camp opens up,

Leeandre volunteers
there ordering supplies.

And the g*n was found
in a supply box.

- So maybe leeandre was
using the supply orders

To import the g*ns. I mean,

Anne-marie did say
majority of the materials

Came from south of the border.

- You know, and he did
live there for a while,

So he'd know about the crosses.
Maybe he was branding the g*n

Strategically, but
kel, I don't know.

I mean, come on, what's his
motive for sh**ting spencer?

larry says

It's a defective g*n.

Maybe leeandre set
it off by accident?

Anne-marie was so sure
he was innocent, though.

- Maybe anne-marie was right.

- What?
- Come on!

I'm gonna tell you on the way.

Follow me!

- Like I said, I
didn't see the sh**ter.

you know, your story

Remains consistent,
I'll give you that.

But... There's one hole in it.

literally
one hole in it.

You mind explaining
why there's no hole

In the front of your blazer?

See, there's one there.
- Mm-hmm.

- But not one there,
now why is that?

- The sh**ter got
me from behind?

Oh.

- Really?

- Mm. Yes. Okay.

You see, the thing is, that...

Is not really how
that would work.

Either the sh**ter's close
enough to aim the g*n

Into the jacket,

Or you were carrying the
g*n inside the jacket

And you shot yourself.

- You think I shot myself?
- Mm-hmm.

- Connect those dots.

Wait, oh, you can't,
because it's absurd.

- I actually think
it's forensics, hm?

Check out those powder burns.

Now, my theory is...

When I asked you about
the g*ns, I spooked you,

So you decided to leave
with the g*n you had on you

And you pulled that
faulty trigger by mistake.

- So what...

You're gonna charge
me with possession

Of one barely functioning g*n?

- Oh no, see you're not
just connected to one g*n.

We have three identical firearms

That were used in
very serious crimes.

And you, my friend,

You own a
food-importing business,

Which is a really convenient way

To smuggle g*ns across
the border. Oh yeah, yeah.

See those dots connecting?

- You know, I gotta
say, burning those g*ns

With a known grasslands
g*ng insignia,

Ugh, that was really clever.
- Oh, my god.

- You're truly a brilliant
entrepreneur, really.

- Yeah, yeah. So you
know, the smartest thing

You can do right
now is cooperate

And tell us where the
rest of the g*ns are,

And maybe we'll discuss a deal.

- Welcome to junk juice b...

- It's over, ash.

Listen, we know
about the g*n stash

And you helping
spencer sell them.

So come on, just
give us the g*ns.

- You don't understand, I
was just trying to bring

Sustainable options
to the masses.

- Okay. Ah!

- Freeze!

We know you planted that g*n

And set up an innocent
black man to take the fall.

- I panicked!

- Now turn around!

Turn around! Slowly.

Ash, you are under arrest...

Like I said...

You're under arrest. Move!

- This... This whole
thing, it's unbelievable.

- Which part?

Your presumed innocence of
the young white entrepreneurs

Who sell garbage in a cup?

- Or your blatant prejudice
towards a caribbean community

Just trying to
celebrate their culture?

- I get it, I was
wrong. I'm embarrassed.

What can I do?

- Discuss reparations
in the form

Of a revised lease rate.

- In this market? That's...

I'm not that embarrassed.

I am sorry.

And, uh, I'll shut
up about the noise.

- Your hands are
not clean either.

I told you leeandre was innocent

And that the mas camp
had nothing to do

With any of this.
- And the evidence proved that.

He's being released right now.

- Hey.

We got two dozen ill*gal
g*ns out of the grasslands.

You were a great cop today.
- Thanks.

You too.

Just doesn't feel that way.

- Hey, happy with your ipr?

- If this doesn't get us
back into purple rain,

I'll start my own juice
empire.

Night.

- Night.

Enjoy that bath.

- You too.

- Oh, hi, commander, I was
just about to submit my ipr.

- Duff, I just got
commendations from upstairs

On that impressive g*n
bust in the grasslands.

- Care to pass them on?

- I just did.

- You know, I was wondering...

Why you don't want us
in here, me and sam.

I think it's because you
wanted your own team,

Your own people, and
we were forced on you.

But I promise you, we're good.

And we're gonna
make you look good.

Because honestly...

We really care.

But don't take my word for it.

Look at the evidence.

- Kelly.

Noted.

- Thanks.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Something smells good.

- Yeah, I showered.
- Finally.

- Well, you know what, I
guess there's an upside

To being jobless. I mean,
you're home all the time.

- Oh, yeah. Well, to be fair,

I still cooked
when I was working.

- Yeah. But you smell better.
- Exactly.

And I wasn't the same
financial burden.

- Stop.

- Here, try this.
- Okay.

Oh, wow.
- Right?

- Yeah, that's really good.

- I'm just gonna say this, um...

Lately, I can feel...
You pulling away.

- What do you mean?

- Ever since I took
a leave of work...

You've been distant.

- Oh, no, no, no, I'm sorry.

It's not work, it's...

I don't know.

Steve, last year was
a really big year.

Like, elliot left...

I got demoted, that sucked.

Then kelly was gone
and you were there.

You're amazing.

You're like this rock.
And then you introduced me

To ro, and that
was, it was perfect.

- So what's changed?

- I don't know.

Nothing? I don't know, maybe...

Something? It's just,
do you ever feel

Like maybe it could be just...

Did you move in... Did
we do this too soon?

- Even if we did, that
doesn't mean it's wrong.

Things are still settling.

You said when you needed
me, I was your rock.

You might not always need a
rock every second of the day.

And when you don't need a rock,

A rock can be
pretty boring, yeah?

Life is hard, sam.

Maybe knowing the
rock is here...

Can be a good thing.

- It's a good thing.

It's a great thing.

I just don't feel like...

I'm that good of a rock for you.

- Baby, I don't need a rock.

I need a wedge.

something
that can get

This rock to roll.

Was that good or
was that cheesy?

- I feel like it was good.

It was cheesy good,
it was pretty...

You were good, cheesy good.
- Alright, well this cheesy rock

Is thinking about going
back to work tomorrow.

- What?
- How's that sound? Yeah.

- Really?
- Back to work.

- I'm so proud of you.

Oh, you smell that?
- Yeah.

- It's a... It's like a
celery smoothie on my...

- Oh...
- But I didn't...

It was poured onto the...
- Right.

- But I should probably...
- Yeah, sure.

- Gonna...
- Yeah.

It didn't come from
them, it was poured on...

- I'm gonna change.
- Okay, cool.

I'll get the stuff on the table.

- Second night without brix.

- Hm.

- How you feeling?

- I really do miss
him, you know?

We were starting to get into
a groove there for a minute.

- Mm-hmm.

Yeah, we were.

- I'm gonna tell
you what, though.

Last night's sleep, best ever.

Mm...

- Hm?

Hm...

- It did get me
thinking, though.

You know, me being
gone for eight months

And with brix around...

You and I never really got
a chance to talk about us.

- Well, let's make
up for it now.

We can play a game
of 21 questions.

No limits.

I'll even let you go first.

- Why do I feel like I'm
gonna regret this later?

Okay. Ooh.

Have you ever had
your heart broken?

- No.

- Oh.
- Except by you.

- Oh.

- It's my turn.

Move in with me.

Question mark.

- Are you playing?

You know I was always planning
on buying my own place.

- I know. But you
said it yourself,

We got a good thing going,
let's keep it going.

And then, if and
when we're ready,

We can go in on a
bigger place together.

- Hm.

I'm intrigued.

- I'm intriguing.

Yeah.

Oh, my god,

That's probably karina
coming back already.

See. I tried to tell
her it was too soon

To be going back to work.

- Okay.
- Nathan!

- Oh, tueli!

- Oh, tueli.
- Hi.

- Oh, hi, yeah. I'm
his step-daughter.

- Step-daughter?
- Well, uh, rewind on that...

Tueli, her mother and I lived
together for seven years,

But it was more of a
big brother situation.

Child has a mind of her own.

Never listened to me.

Tueli, this is kelly.
- Hey, kelly.

Nathan told me if I ever needed
anything I could come over.

So, pipe burst in
my residence room.

Can I stay for a few days?

Is that cool?

You said you had a
big loft by yourself.

- Yes, I did say
that, but kelly...

- Kelly doesn't mind.

What you gonna do, leave
a university student

To sleep on a park bench?

- No. No.
- Of course you can stay.

Mm-hmm.
- Give me your bag!

Let me show you your room.
- Thank you.

It's heavy.
- I got it.

- You got it?

- Yeah.
- Okay.
