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

to meet with my contact, Jake Marty, but then a few days ago, the whole

operation went offline.

Jake Marty.

I mean, I just ask myself, like, how well do I really know Nathan? Because

know I was gone for eight months, and I'm putting a whole lot of my eggs in

basket. Kel, do you ever really get over your ex?

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.

Will you come home with me tonight?

Are you going to invite me to your next dinner with Tuli and Vanessa?

Shall we?

I just wanted to say thank you for letting me crash here.

Oh, man.

You know what? And women.

Egg beater. Egg beater is two words. Well, it's one word.

Okay, that was done. That was done. Set that timer. Set that timer. Are we

ready? In three, in two, in one. Bam.

Boom. Here we go.

Two words.

TV show.

Got the girl.

One word.

Hangover.

Two words.

Oh, pretty fierce.

Two words.

Cold.

Chicken.

Chicken clucking.

Cold turkey!

Cold turkey!

Yes!

You kidding me? You're cheating. You gotta be cheating.

No, no, no, no, no.

It's a mind meld. This is the benefits of oversharing. Yeah, well, wait.

Next time I'm going to bring my friend Jen and we... Who's Jen?

It's her friend since she was a kid, but no one's beaten. We 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 chip.

I got it, I got it, I got it.

Take it.

Kelly?

Kelly, what are you doing?

We talked about this.

I'm giving you and Julie 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

I had a lot of fun last night.

Yeah, me too, right?

Trivia night at the Crown. It's always a great time.

Anyway, I'll see you later. Hey, I wanted to talk about Saturday. I was

maybe we could go to the Aqua Lounge.

Aqua Lounge?

On the east side. Isn't that like a swingers club?

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 nine o 'clock in the morning. I just need a minute to wrap my head

around this thing. Right.

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 Nas to come with me to the Apple Lounge 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?

Yeah. Cool.

Sarah, Sarah, I got to go.

Give me your calendar.

It'll take two seconds. Come on.

Yeah. No, if this is going to fly, we got to integrate.

The Love Cats got to work as a team.

Absolutely.

I already had one.

Morning, team.

Shall we get started?

Jodi Malecki, 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. Jodi says she bought

online from a replicant member named Jake Marty.

Our job is to find Jake, get some concrete evidence against him, arrest

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 Martys, both of whom have drug records.

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

Excuse me.

Hello?

Yeah, I'll be right there.

Uh, pick a Jake.

Any Jake.

Watch him. See who's coming and going. Bump him if you can. I gotta go.

Oh.

Hey. Can we at least look at them before we choose?

Finders keepers.

So I just got a call from a Dr. Fatima Sharma at the Kornfeld Forensic

Institute. She has the purple rain chemical analysis ready, but she wants

discuss the results in person.

Great. Can I put an eyes on it? No, no. She asked for you specifically.

Okay. Works for me.

Oh, uh -uh. Don't bother.

Take that one.

Hey, if it's okay with you, I'd rather just work in the office today.

Wait, you don't want to come in the jay -cracky?

What? No, come on, come on, come on. Scully in the house. I'm feeling lucky.

I think I need to talk to Nathan.

Thanks.

Hey, sorry, what'd I miss?

Nothing major, but I'm sure Sam can fill you in on the way. Is that cool?

Yeah, sure.

This Jake Marty is 66 years old. Do you really think he's selling Purple Rain

online? I don't know. You never really can tell it's 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 I got no answers for. Wow.

Wow.

Actually, this may sound kind of weird just because you said swingers.

Sarah wants to take me to a sex club.

You know, I 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.

Well, I mean it's intimidating, you know Sorry, I don't you know, do you think I

should just answer me? Do you think I should go or no way?

Wow. Yeah, I Okay

Okay, it's 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.

Mr. Jake Marty?

I'm Detective Wazowski, the detective is here, and we have, like, a couple of

questions for you. And, yeah, uh, I'm just gonna get right to it. Have you

been part of a criminal organization?

I was raised Catholic.

Otherwise, no.

Well, how do you explain you're a drug charger from last year?

That's why you're here?

Okay, fine.

Last December, I let Alfie Petrillo 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 there was a mix -up.

Who do you think they believed?

Alfie Sr.

hired hotshot lawyers, and I spent Christmas in a chair.

Thanks for reminding me. Thank you, Mr. Marty.

Not our guy. Not our guy. Not our guy.

Gopher Chase.

Hey, how's it going over there with your Jake?

Hard to say, really.

Mid -thirties.

Big manga fan.

He had 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 Manstock this afternoon? I heard it's a chili dog eating contest.

he's not willing to head over if those dogs are calling.

That's very generous, Sam.

You want to eat hot dogs at Manstock?

Yeah. The dogs are definitely calling.

Great.

We're going to be over there in 20.

Great.

Hot dogs.

Thank God.

Finally getting up to take a pee.

You try reading Beck's twin's gentle blasphemy not in one sitting.

You can't stop.

No.

I'm Dr.

Fatima Sharma, pronouns she and her.

Please call me Fatima.

Hi there, I'm just shadowing DS Green on this case, if you don't mind me. I

won't.

Mentorship is a beautiful thing.

I'm thrilled to be working with you, Nathan. I attended your lecture on

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...

Thank you. That's nice of you to say.

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 Gedule.

We've also been using international baseboard analyses to track when new

designer drugs are being used, and so far...

Purple Rain has only been found in local -based water.

So it's being made in Canada.

We also identified the precursor chemicals used to make the drug, and as

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

PhD, like me.

First doctor in the family.

Okay.

I don't want to assume anything about your sexuality, Nathan, but if you do

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

asking.

Okay, so I got Sarah 2 on Saturday.

I mean, Sarah won on Sunday.

You guys, it's Tuesday and 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 trying to keep it all separate, but then apparently I'm

to, like, blend them, integrate them.

Hold up.

There he is.

Shit. Oh, my God.

I know that guy. What?

That's Jake Benson.

Wow, 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?

didn't recognize that from the file?

Well, you had the file. Yeah, look at your 40 girlfriends.

Oh, God, stop it.

Okay.

Are you still friends with him?

No, he had a falling out in, like, the 11th grade. I haven't seen him since

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, uh, you know, all -you -can -eat buffets. Two -for -one. Who

Be more specific.

Okay, uh, he likes video games. He hates sauce.

Uh, okay, he's a really smart guy, actually. I mean, he's really into,

Japan and, like, ecstasy and stuff like that. Uh, oh, he loved my neighbor's koi

pond when we were growing up and had a crush on my sister.

I'm Sam from Kwai Chex. I'm just here for your pawn consultation.

What? The pawn... It's 37 Harton Street, right?

Yeah, but I didn't schedule anything.

Oh, good. I'm so sorry.

I have, like, dyscalculia, so I, like, invert numbers with, like, dates and

addresses, and normally my partner, she has all the consultations.

I'm sorry.

Sorry, what kind of consults?

Koi pawns. I'm a pawn installer.

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?

This is just, like, weird.

Um, okay, for you, I'm going to give you a complimentary consultation.

Because we have, like, a really great promo on at the moment.

Two halves of a pond for the price of the half.

So a full pond for half price?

That's exactly what I'm talking about.

Above grounds are $800, $850.

For you, my friend, I'm going to throw in a couple of fish.

I'm going to 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 making bank now. Let's do it. Oh, my God. I like your style.

Carpe diem.

Carp to the... How's tomorrow?

Detective Nazir, before you continue with this case, we need to have a chat

about your friend.

First of all, I need to know if Jake Marty knows anything about you that

become an issue.

Sure. He knows I got suspended for TPing the portables in grade 10.

So no skeleton?

No.

Good.

Were you two close?

Did you grow up in the same neighborhood?

Sort of.

Yeah, he was in a high -rise, I was in a cul -de -sac a few blocks away.

His family was pretty messed up.

Then he got caught for selling ecstasy, and that's when my dad made me stop

hanging out with him.

I just kind of felt like an asshole for ditching them, you know?

I always hoped you could turn it around.

This was 20 years ago, and respectfully, I don't think knowing a guy in high

school was the 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 behavior 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 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.

Listen, I think I can be very helpful in this case.

I live in hope.

I love my little aquarium, but I'm thinking that koi, it's a bridge too

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. But we got to go.

Yeah, I don't think it's a good idea.

But we're already here. And plus, you told me that you want me to meet Jen.

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...

Are you kidding me? I am charming. Look at my cords. Listen, by the end of this,

we're going to be braiding each other's hair and making plans for pickleball. I

promise you, I will not embarrass you.

Fine. Let's go around back.

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 the horns on this baby. I'm not going home without it.

What?

Jen? Can I help you?

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's a little much. Shut up about you. You know,

foster sisters.

Each other's rock. A bond forged in trauma. Actually, I'm really sorry. That

highly inappropriate.

I just wanted to say to you, it is so nice to meet you. Hi, I'm Sam.

Sam has a favor to ask.

I don't even know Sam.

Well, any friend of Rose.

That means we're probably going to be... A rising tide, it flows to all boats.

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.

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 10

Fatima said whoever's making this stuff is a genius.

Fatima said.

Fatima said.

Maybe Dr. Meat Q considers her own skills a little more rarefied than they

actually are.

Now, this woman was a whack job. I mean, prop invention ain't nobody's hobby.

And I mean, nobody finds boys by a metric star. Do you find it, sir? Kelly,

do you care?

Any more information on Jake Marty?

Uh, yeah, I mean, no arrest 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 could 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 Coy 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.

really would love to talk about it because I'm a real overshare, which you

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?

Maybe not lots, like other?

Yeah.

Okay, look, first thing you need to know about koi is that they're basically

carp's cousin Tiffany.

Prettier, but 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. Get your hands wet.

Sure.

Okay, lift from underneath.

Yep.

Okay, head facing toward you.

Yes. 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.

So it's not actually a magical toy. It needs water to breathe. Yes. Okay.

All right, Sam's out here to hear something. Do you want to tell her?

No. What?

Welcome to the pond, master.

Okay.

Koitik, 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's the

only thing big enough in the impound that you can move a whole pond with.

How'd you get my silhouette, though?

I'll tell you how.

From memory.

That's really creepy as hell.

Love the jacket. You didn't happen to make any extra, did you?

Uh, what do you think?

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

That should be a breeze.

Then you follow the call with Jake, while I sneak inside, see if I can find

anything to connect Jake with Purple Rain.

Nathan, we all good?

Hello? Nathan?

Hello? Calm down.

Just gotta get my earpiece in place.

You know, I'd better get someone to tell him to calm down.

Or tell him 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, partner.

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

No, you don't.

I knew there was a vibe.

Just felt it, you know?

Who are you vibing with right now?

Oh, I have a group chat going with Watson Swallows.

Zinger after zinger.

Constant hilarity.

Is it the filter or the pump? That's definitely the filter. It's the pump. Is

the filter? That's the pump. That's the filter. I don't know if it's the filter.

What's the manual say? Well, I lost part of it, so do you speak? Yo, Jake. Oh,

hey.

What the hell is this?

I thought we were having a meeting.

Yeah.

Me too.

What's happening?

You know, like the joke?

And then Watts replied, what's happening? But way too long, like so

letters.

Hey, Koychik.

Nice kicks.

Beat Root.

Yeah, good eye. You, uh, must be a sneakerhead. Yeah, a little bit.

Picked up the Grateful Threes last week.

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, I was making minimum wage, so I wasn't gonna spend my

paycheck on shoes.

And not everyone has a truck fund.

Yeah, those were the good old days.

Got a hustle now, right?

Yeah. You know what I'm saying?

You got a bathroom I could use?

Yeah, sure.

Inside to the right.

All right.

What do you say we name these fish?

Nathan, you get a shot of the guy who just came in back?

Yeah, I'm running it right now.

Any idea who he is?

His name is Krish. Maybe he's 35.

Said they had a meeting.

Working on it.

Awesome. What do you think we should call him?

I got one, I got one.

David Swimmer.

I love it.

Yeah, David Swimmer.

What's going on? You okay?

What the hell is that?

Jake, seriously?

Kelly, we got a really bad case of thin rot!

Oh, you're terrible!

Come on!

Thin rot? Are they okay?

Yeah, yeah, it just needs to be treated immediately, like right away. Kelly!

Come on, it's thin rot! Please!

Hey, did you hear some music?

Oh, that was me singing.

Gotta love those old girl groups.

In the bathroom.

Yeah, you got a problem with that?

No, no, no.

Whatever works for you.

Cool, cool.

Gotta do you, right?

Yeah, yeah, gotta do.

What happened? Everything okay?

Yeah, we just have like a case that's been wrought, so I just wanted to talk

you about it.

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.

what we're going to do. We're going to head out. Invoice is going to be in the

mail, and you enjoy those fish.

Thank you very much. It was lovely meeting you both. Have a wonderful day.

Yep.

You picking up that yo -yo tonight?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'll be holding my sense.

Cool.

Enjoy your fish.

Yo -Yo's at 6. Yeah.

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

Do you want to try this?

All right.

Uh, Yo -Yo's. Uh, Yoko Yodel Yogurt. Maybe it's a frozen yogurt place?

We got a problem.

Apparently, there's construction.

Something about a busker.

Spin team lost him. But we know Jake has a pickup at 6 p .m. at a place called

Yo -Yo's. So if we can figure out what Yo -Yo's is... Could be a Yo -Yo

convention.

Watson and I got flyers at Man's Talk.

Okay.

Um, there's also Yo -Yo's Toe and Foot Day Spa that has an extremely low

Oh, gosh. Someone caught hand, foot, and mouth disease here. Oh, the Coxsackie

virus.

Coxsackie virus is no joke. I mean, the blisters alone. Hey, what about Yo -Yo's

Exotic Lounge on St. Clair West? Used to be run by bikers.

Uh, 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.

One of the bouncer laughed at us. Do you think he'd still hang out there? I

wouldn't be surprised.

Actually, yeah, I know. That does sound about right.

Jake, I know, was really into that kind of stuff. Big hentai thing.

You know, anime porn.

I don't know what that is.

Anyway, I figured that, strip clubs, all of it, you know?

Sounds like a lead.

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

I'm going to send some uniforms over there right away.

Sorry, my man. Wish you could come.

Listen, I messed up.

Yo -Yo's isn't a strip club. Yo -Yo is Jake Marty's girlfriend, Yolanda Pesci,

founder on his view pics.

No, he's not on social. We all look. No, it's under a fake name.

It's linked to an old email address he had in the seventh grade.

Diarrhea85 at Hotmail. Where do we find Yo -Yo?

She's at 86 Marine Drive, Condo 3F.

All right, come on. We'll keep you posted.

Hey, I don't drink, I don't drink.

Check to the move.

All right, guys.

We're arriving on the scene.

Heading south end of the lot.

Where's our target?

Traveling in a red car.

Red car.

Got him. Good.

Eyes on Jake.

Try to cut him off in the back.

Kelly's on her way, too.

Get up.

Jake Marty, you're under arrest.

Come on.

Oh, Yolanda, how long has Jake Marty been putting his drugs in your car?

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

How'd he get your key?

I lost my extra key. Maybe he found it. Okay, Yolanda, cut the crap.

We have photos of the two of you making out on YouPix.

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.

Yolanda, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I don't know.

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's still not too late for

to go after your dreams.

I think it actually might be... 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 wanna become my own girlbot.

My aunt has been selling hydroneutroderma products, and she made

friends and manifested attending this wicked conference in Vegas. Okay, so are

you really willing to give up on becoming a hydroneutroderma girl, Bob,

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.

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 replicant.

We just came because we're trying to strategize how to approach Jake.

We're going to 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.

Hey, buddy.

This here?

Right, yeah.

I heard you became a cop.

Wait, you?

Were you part of all this?

Not really, no.

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, Ty.

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.

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 and bring the whole thing down.

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.

I kicked out of Humberside for selling any... Come on.

Principal said you told her.

So I got shit can.

I didn't tell them anything.

Jake, look at me. 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.

That's not going to be so hard on Nas.

Nas will be fine.

You know, we've got a replicant in custody, a possible CI, and a trunk full

purple rain off the street.

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess.

It's just, what if they stay friends?

Maybe Jake wouldn't be in this situation.

Just one misunderstanding.

Just one.

They never speak again.

And then, like, their lives diverge forever.

Hey, what's going on?

Listen, I'm good for Saturday.

What?

Oh.

No, that's fine. I didn't mean to put any pressure on you at all.

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

Because when you don't talk about things is when everything goes to shit, 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 going to love it or anything, but you know what I mean?

I want to try.

Okay. Yeah? Yeah. Okay.

Okay. To your work win.

To you.

And Jen, she's great, your friend.

Yay, Jen.

That's okay.

Like, I love Jen, but she can be a little bitch. You said it.

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 going to make you two hang out. No, I didn't

mean that. I think it's good to have space, you know, be different versions

ourselves with different people.

That's true.

Sometimes with Jen, I... It's like I'm right back in high school.

I really should mention that.

Um, one of my co -workers, another detective, was best buds in high school

our coy -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.

Can I get you anything?

A beer would be nice if you got it.

What you cooking?

Fish powder.

Look, Nathan, you're right.

I am petrified.

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

Your ex and, you know, thinking maybe you thought I wasn't living up to

you thought I could 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

you're difficult, except when you're not talking to me. But I've never thought,

said, or felt any of that other stuff.

Wow.

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 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.

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

And all I want, all I wanted, to be with you.

And I want to stop.

I want to stop playing games.

I want to stop playing defense and being so stupid.

OK, that's OK.

Let's do that.

Let's stop playing games. Let's stop playing defense.

Let's do this thing.

All in.

What?

What? Yeah, let's get married.

I'm not kidding.

I don't want the stupid stuff, okay? No ring, no party. No stupid stuff. No

rings, no parties.

Just you and me.

All in.

I'm trying to grow old with you.
