Previously on "Impastor"...

It is time we showed the world we're a couple.

I brought you a Bible for your desk.

Now you look like a real pastor.

When you get your shot at revenge,

make the most of it.

I can't believe Austin would do such a thing.

I hereby sentence you to two years

at Murdock Juvenile Detention Center.

Buddy!

Come with me. I know who you are.

Okay, Barlow,

or whatever your real name is.

I'm Federal Agent Landecker.

'Sup? [clears throat]

I'm the Director of the Pacific Northwest Division,

and we don't have any record of an agent

working undercover in Ladner.

Which is a real compliment to you.

It is?

When you national boys go U.C., you go deep.

[sighs]

Thanks.

How do you know I'm undercover?

I'm not at liberty to say.

It was that cop, Hyde, right?

You are good.

That's why they call me "The Cobra."

I'm reaching out to you because we've been trying

to make a corruption case against Judge Bell,

and I need your help.

Oh, I don't know.

HQ wants me to focus on Operation Holy Ghost.

Well, listen, listen.

You're in the perfect place to work the judge.

He's been getting kickbacks

from a private juvenile detention prison

for every kid he sends in there.

We just haven't been able to prove it yet.

If I do this job,

my kid goes free?

All the railroaded kids would go free.

Okay.

- Cobra's in. - Great.

Well, I'm the S.A.C. in this rent-a-goon op.

U.A.C.B.

Are we clear?

Couldn't be clearer.

When are you guys gonna get me out of here?

Well, I talked to a lawyer.

He said it would cost $15,000

and could take up to two years.

Two years?

Guys, they're sending me to Murdock.

Do you know what they do to kids like me in Murdock?

Is there anything I can get you

that you need right now?

A soda? Maybe some chips?

Yeah, because some snacks are gonna make everything wonderful.

I'm on it.

I saw a vending machine down the hallway.

Listen, Austin,

I'm working on something

that might get you out of here real soon.

I'm gonna take care of you.

You know how many times I've heard that in my life?

Well, I'm here already.

Oh, my.

Oh, my!

I tell you, it's amazing

how you got songs from different artists

all on the same compact disc.

It's like an all-star game for my ears.

Oh, hello.

Yeah, Ashlee, this is... [music stops]

- Oh, thank you. - Mm-hmm.

This is Dora, the girl that I trounced

in the presidential election after she insulted me.

Oh, right! Alden told me about that.

From the way he described you,

I had no idea you were so pretty.

Well... thank you.

So you're dating Alden.

Uh... uh...

Why?

Well, why wouldn't I?

He's the sweetest, most charming man I've ever met.

And she's met lots of men.

He made me believe in myself.

And even more, he made me believe in the Lord.

Yeah, Ashlee is becoming a member of our church.

Oh, wonderful. You don't bowl, do you?

It's just that our ladies' team has been down a gal

ever since Louise Polk had her foot taken.

Sounds... fun.

Count me in.

Yeah, we-we really should be going,

uh, uh, Sugarplum.

Don't worry, Dora. You'll find love too someday.

Maybe.

[knocking]

Buddy.

There's something you don't know about me.

Happy to keep it that way.

In my 20s, after my career

as a cruise ship magician didn't pan out,

I dreamed of being a lawyer.

But unfortunately, I couldn't pass the bar.

Ah, who can?

See those neon beer signs, you gotta go in.

But I did write a brief letter to the supervising judge

arguing how grossly unfair Judge Bell's sentence was,

vis-à-vis Austin's petty vandalism.

I couldn't have Russell's letter

spooking Judge Bell before I could bust him.

I'm off to mail it right now.

If only I had... a stamp.

You know what, let's get this moving even faster.

I'll take it.

I'm going down to the courthouse anyway.

Another matter.

W-Wait, if you're parking at a meter,

you'll need a quarter.

This is the Royal Caribbean all over again.

You will never guess what I found in Buddy's bed.

This.

How do you think it got there?

How do you think it got there?

I don't know.

I mean, do you think that Buddy

could be interested in women?

Uh, well, you know him better than me.

Yeah.

Guess I just never thought about it.

Who do you think it could be?

Uh...

Well, whoever it is,

they're pretty trashy.

Actually, I think it's sexy and tasteful.

Maybe if you're a prostitute.

[doorbell chimes]

Sheriff, what a pleasant surprise.

That almost sounded sincere.

I do my best.

You know the other day when you took that lie detector test?

Really something how that machine didn't work on you.

I hear those babies are expensive to fix.

Is it still under warranty?

Funny thing though.

After you left, I asked Lionel

to hook me up to it, and it worked just fine.

I wondered, why would the test work for me

and not for you?

Maybe it's more of a "lady-tector" test.

Come on.

But then I thought,

what if Lionel couldn't get a baseline on you

because every answer about yourself was a lie?

That would mean you aren't who you say you are,

Pastor Barlow.

And given your logic, that would also mean

I didn't kill Ray Flores.

But I have a feeling you know who did.

And I'm not gonna stop until I know all about that

and all about you.

[suspenseful music]

Buddy: Turns out, cops and judges

weren't the only boobs causing me trouble.

This is why I told you, you should never wear bras.

I don't like lying to my friends, Buddy,

and I don't like sneaking around.

Maybe we should just tell everyone about us.

No. No, I'm not ready.

I'm still confused about the whole gay/straight thing.

You weren't confused last night.

Three times.

Yeah, but on the last one,

I was pretending you were a dude.

Look, I don't know if you're confused

or embarrassed or just afraid of how people will react,

but until you figure it out,

maybe we shouldn't do this anymore.

Maybe you're right.

No, this is not one of those moments.

[sighs]

Still no.

The plot thickens.

Buddy: This was my one shot to get Austin out of jail.

But if the FBI saw through me,

I knew I'd be joining him.

Okay, let's get you wired.

What are you doing?

I was just gonna put this on your lapel.

Oh, yeah.

Just I've been through so many of these things.

I'm bored.

- Yeah, right. - Yeah.

All right, it's voice-activated,

Of course.

Good.

This is a list of all the facts about the case

Commit to memory.

[sighs]

Hey.

What?

Can't have any leave-behinds.

Right.

It's just that... call me old-school,

I usually eat the paper.

No agent does that.

Fact.

I once at a field manual

Dare me.

Man, Cobra, you're something else.

And don't you forget it.

Blonde with dark roots.

Coarse from years of bleaching.

It could be Alexa's. What's your point?

That it could have been Alexa in Buddy's bed.

Doing what people do in bed.

You know, when they're not sleeping or reading

or watching TV or knitting or...

I know what people do, but that's ridiculous.

Is it?

Because when I showed her the bra,

she seemed a little squirrely.

I know for a fact that Buddy Barlow

is 100% gay.

No man can look at me the way he does

and be a breeder.

Maybe he's weaning himself off being gay.

That's not how it works. It's not like dairy or carbs.

Well, something is going on.

And I'm going to find out what.

Your Honor, I'm a law and order guy just like you.

And I love how you take a hard stance

against juvenile delinquents,

but you should let Austin McCain go.

Why is that?

Because he's a good kid.

And believe me, there are a lot of bad ones out there.

Real scumbags who deserve to be in jail.

Harsh language for a man of God.

Oh, trust me.

God wants these troublemaking turds

behind bars as much as you and I do.

And I can get 'em for you.

What do you mean for me?

I mean, for the justice system.

For America.

If we work together, we could get a hundred

of these pre-pube drug-running dirtballs off the street.

Pastor, as much as I appreciate

your anticrime zeal,

I am not in the habit of rescinding my sentences.
