Pretty Hard Cases (2021) s03e07 Episode Script

Our man Krish is hosting an
event for potential new dealers
and we believe he will be
handing out sample packs of this.
We'll do a controlled
swap, replace the real drugs
with these lookalikes.
Nathan and I are big noise.
We need Krish to buy our cover.
Any chance we're going
to meet the Prince?
Nah. Nobody connects with
the Prince except for me.
Help, I can't stop!
Get on the ground!
- Get down!
- Ah!
Officer, you're making a mistake!
Shut your mouth!
You gonna lodge a formal
complaint against those assholes?
The system is rotten.
I keep defending it.
We believe the purple rain
is being transported via
these hazardous waste bags.
Uh, Nathan, could you
just fix the focus on that,
- it's a bit blurry.
- No, it's as clear as day, Sam.
G-B-H-9-3-4-0-2-X.
You need to get your eyes checked.
Nathan and I traced the region
code on the label over there.
Looks like it came from the
chemistry lab at Guelph Tech.
Guelph. Whew, that doesn't
narrow it down much. Holy.
I'd say it narrows it down pretty good.
- Yeah.
- There's only one Guelph Tech.
So, overlooked chemistry nerd
making and selling illegal drugs?
Possibly Michel Owens.
He's the lab manager in the
chemistry department over there.
He's got a PhD in chemistry,
he has access to the lab.
First one in, last one
out, owns a beautiful home
in Guelph and a condo in Yorkville.
Also, he drives a Porsche.
And check this out.
- Whoa.
- Michel Owens 10 years ago.
He was the lead singer
of a local cover band
called Fuschia Shock. One guess,
whose music they were covering.
Yeah, so what he's been doing is
- Prince!
- Sorry?
- The band. The man. Prince.
- Yes, Sam. It's Prince.
Okay, here's what I'm thinking.
We take a road trip out
to Guelph. Bump the guy,
- see what we find.
- That sounds like a great idea.
You all hit Guelph, we'll
have another meet with Krish,
pick up the huge supply of purple
rain we've already paid for,
see if he leads us to
the Prince that way.
Yeah, you keep that big
nose play going, boys.
- It's big noise.
- Yeah.
Yeah, which is marginally better.
Uh
- Sam, you good?
- Yeah, I'm good.
Just smelling my desk.
But up here
It's dizzy, so I just, I'm just
gonna stay here for a second.
- Wait, dizzy?
- Yeah.
Hold up, how long have
you been feeling this way?
Wha uh since I
fell at the rink and I
But my head still hurts a tiny bit.
- Whoa, look at me.
- Yeah.
Okay, Sam, your pupils
are different sizes.
We need to get you to the hospital.
We're not going to the
hospital, we're going to Guelph,
we're going on a road
trip. She can drive,
- I'll give her the keys, I'll be the passenger.
- Sam,
- come with me.
- That's the thing, you always drive,
that's the only difference
in the whole thing.
You look amazing in red, don't
get me started on your jeans.
Guys, it's gonna be okay.
I'm a terrible partner.
- I'm gonna cancel my trip.
- Oh my God,
don't cancel your trip, it's for work.
I should have known.
I should have been
looking into your eyes,
why haven't I been looking
into your eyes, Sam?
Kelly here was looking into your eyes
and she's just your colleague.
Okay, we have your MRI result.
You have a concussion.
Likely a grade two.
I knew it.
Uh, okay, so what do I have to do?
There's different schools
of thought these days
on how to treat them.
Some of us think that
blood flow to the brain
and exercise are crucial in
the early stages of recovery,
you know, keeping your brain sharp
as you transition back to normal.
Most doctors would say to take it easy.
Come back and see me
in a couple of weeks.
- Okay, thank you.
- No problem.
I'm gonna text Judy from
your phone and let her know.
You just
Type her password in and
use her phone like that?
- Mm-hmm.
- Ironically,
we have the same password.
Wait, no, no, no, what are you doing?
Stop. Please don't
text Judy, 'cause, um,
Elliot's coming home
this weekend, remember?
He's gonna take care of me.
What?
Elliot take care of you
No, he is gonna take care of me.
He's probably really
excited to take care of me.
- Hilarious.
- No, he is, because
- Oh my God.
- This is what sons do,
they take care of their mothers.
He's a man now
Stop it, it's not funny.
Yup, there he is.
See? Every week, like clockwork.
And I told him you've
been hassling me about
- the purple rain shipment.
- Good.
You got your work cut
out for you, though.
Why's that?
'Cause you're gonna need to be scary
if you want Krish to listen to you.
We could be scary.
See this right there?
I got that from a guy
named Mulch when I was 17,
I sold him weed mixed with oregano.
And this? Right there?
That's when I paid my
rent with the money I made
from selling 30 hits of acid
instead of paying back my supplier.
You see, dealers are scary because
they aren't afraid to get violent.
But you two aren't dealers, you're cops.
And that would be assault.
Anyways, have fun.
I mean, we don't have to throw
down just to be intimidating.
Oh, fear of getting your ass whooped
is more powerful than
getting your ass whooped.
Agreed. And if Krish
happens to get violent,
then hey, we can get violent.
- It's self-defence.
- Yeah.
All right, follow my lead.
And you're not allowed
to do that De Niro face.
Very good.
Um
Do you have a back door?
- Uh, yeah. Down the hall.
- Cool. I'll be right back.
Boys! Good to see you.
- You're looking sharp.
- Yeah, yeah.
Listen, listen, I thought we agreed,
I'll text you when I get the stuff in.
Yeah, we did, but uh Well,
we got a little impatient.
- It's been 24 hours.
- Look, guys,
you're gonna get your stuff.
I'm actually on my way
to pick it up today, so,
you're just you're just
gonna need to chill, all right?
That's great, 'cause we
promised people a party.
So until we have our order in hand,
the three of us are gonna get real cozy.
Understood.
Uh, Steve called, he was so worried,
so he asked me to pick up some
stuff and just check on you.
Yeah, I'm fine, really.
Good. I'm good.
Well, you don't know that.
Because I had a friend
who had a concussion,
it ruined their entire life.
She had to move into
her cousin's basement,
- it was
- Her cousin yeah.
Or, you could be like
many, many other people
that got a knock on the head
and just use it as a great excuse
to take a couple of days
off and chill back, lay back.
You can watch Drag Race.
- Yes!
- No, no, no, no,
you have to avoid
- No TV! No TV!
- What?
You have to avoid all
screens. Screens are the worst.
- Avoiding it.
- What?!
- You need it to be dark.
- Dark.
And calm. So, I have your
lunch, I've got your dinner.
- I'm gonna take care of it all.
- Okay.
Okay, I'm gonna send you this
article that's more in line
with what your doctor
says and basically opposite
of everything you just said,
you know, do the hard stuff,
force yourself back to normal.
- Ah, there it is.
- Great, why don't you email me
that article and I will read it and
I will enjoy reading it, thank you.
No, no, no. Are you
guys serious right now?
- Yeah no
- I'm sorry, Kelly,
- no offence
- Sent.
She's gonna go upstairs,
lights out, lie down.
I'll make lunch.
You don't have to worry about her.
- I got it.
- Oh, actually,
you know, I was thinking
about making her lunch, some
Mm, barbecue ribs,
salad, collard greens,
Mac and cheese with a little bacon,
you know that good gut health?
So, um, I think I got it
from here, you can leave.
Oh, you know what? My
dearest friend Kelly,
why don't you go to
Guelph for the both of us?
And you, my bossy friend
can cook this delicious food
because it smells
amazing and I am starving,
and then you can go back to work.
Okay, well, somebody
has to stay with you.
- At least until Elliot gets here.
- I do agree with that.
Okay, it's gonna be Ro because
detectives are more
important than lawyers.
Wow, you do have a concussion.
Okay, uh, well, have
a good day, Detective.
If I didn't have a
meeting with Super Shanks,
- I'd take you on.
- Ooh.
Yeah, so have a great time in Guelph
and you keep me posted.
And I also want you to
say hi to Prince for me.
- Oh, will do.
- Okay.
- Take it easy. Mm-hmm!
- Okay, bye. Thank you!
She's great.
Hon, I don't know how
to break this to you,
but Prince died. It was really sad.
Yes, the
I know the musician
is dead, it's not that,
it's the Prince is
part of the drug case.
And Ro, what are you doing?
I'm doing exactly what you would
do, don't look at me like that.
But you need to go
upstairs and rest, okay?
I'll make you a tray.
It's gonna be good.
- Come on.
- Hey.
Thank you.
- You're a really good friend.
- Yeah.
Seriously.
Hold the railing.
Oh, this arrived on my desk last night,
your official complaint. It's
very clear, it's very formal.
Officers Taylor and
MacCleary, 68th Division,
pulled you over, drew their guns,
held you down on the
ground and cuffed you.
That's awful. I'm sorry.
But there's nothing in
here about how you feel.
For one thing, it might help
me to advocate on your behalf,
get these assholes the maximum
punishment they deserve.
What's the point?
The problem is bigger
than these assholes.
And it's funny, I was
at a Black sistah circle,
right before I got pulled
over, and this woman, Leticia,
said that this place is a rotten tree.
We're the bad apples.
But I don't know how we
get rid of the infection.
Kelly, this place
needs us here to change,
you and me.
This corner office, with the view,
might have come seven years too late,
but things are shifting.
You think five years ago,
I could have called out the police board
about how the police unions
are one of the biggest
impediments to change
and accountability?
Even two years ago they
would have just laughed me
out of the room. But now?
And I take some sort of
solace in that progress.
We are here to fight the good fight.
All right, I will channel my inner Sade
- and bare my soul.
- Thank you very much.
- Yeah.
- Hey.
Hope I'm not interrupting.
- Any news?
- Yeah, I was actually about to head to your office,
give you an update on Sam.
- How is she?
- She has a concussion,
needed some rest, but she
should be good in a few days.
I was about to head to Guelph
anyway to get a lay of the land.
Well, if Sam is not able to go with you,
I'd like you to take someone else.
Who?
Detective Duff!
What up?
Hey, Chase.
Looking forward to the trip.
Uh, yeah, yeah. Me too. Me too.
- May I?
- Uh, may
Oh um I heard about the incident.
Horrible, just
Horrible. No justice, no peace.
No. No. Thank you. Okay. Uh, let's go.
Oh, I brought some hot pepper
jelly pastries for the road.
Hot pepper jelly pastries?
Hot pepper jelly pastries, yeah.
They're out of control good.
I don't usually
indulge, but these babies
are really testing my discipline.
Uh, that's great. I'm driving.
Sure.
Come on.
Just relax.
What did Ro say, what did Ro say?
You can do this, you can
You know what? No, stop.
Just do what Kelly said.
I don't care, it's making me feel sick.
Back to normal, get back to normal.
Eyes open.
Okay, this I'm gonna
light my hair on fire.
This is not really
I can't breathe.
Oh.
Ah.
Oh.
Oh, fudge, I got hot
pepper jelly in my eye.
- Ow.
- What?
Oh, wow.
Ow, that smarts.
Ah, oh Jesus, ow.
Oh, I got it in my other eye.
Oh geez Louise. Oh.
Why don't you use water to
rinse it out or something?
Yeah, that's a good idea.
I I have contact
solution in my bag somewhere.
Um I can't see my
I can't see my bag.
I can't I can't see.
Here you go.
- Thanks. Thank you.
- Hey, I'm gonna go in
and see if I can get a
meeting with this lab manager
Michel Owens, okay?
Okay, yeah, just let me Let
me pull myself together here
and I'm and I'm right behind you.
Yeah, you work on that.
Ow.
Ah.
When I blink is when it stings.
Ah.
Hello?
Elliot?
Oh my God, ah, yes!
Hi. You're home. Oh my God.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Is that my concussion
or is that actual stubble on your chin?
Ah, it's
I'm growing out my mane.
- You like?
- I don't know.
Can I feel it? Can I touch it? All ri
Oh, wow.
So, did Dad tell you about my condition?
Yeah. I'm here with you for a bit.
Just a bit?
Well, I gotta go, um, visit
Jackie, actually, in Guelph.
She's going to school there.
Guelph? Is it Guelph Tech?
- She goes to Guelph Ttech?
- Yeah.
Do you think, I was wondering
Just a thought
Is she involved in the
drug scene up there?
I guess insensitivity's a
symptom of your concussion?
I am supposed to be in
Guelph on a drug case
- so I just thought, ooh, ooh.
- Dude.
So there's drugs in Guelph,
a town of 100,000 people,
Jackie happens to be one of those people
so she must be involved in the drugs?
I mean, come on, she's
actually doing really good.
- I'm doing good.
- Mm-hmm.
How about we just leave
it alone this time?
- Yeah.
- Okay, I'm gonna go make you a cup of tea.
Sure. Thank you.
Can I help you with something?
Ah, yes, uh, Detective Kelly Duff.
Celine Levy, work in the admin office.
Yeah, I'm looking for Michel Owens,
the lab manager for the
chemistry department.
You and me both.
Students are up in arms,
nobody's been able to access
the lab for the last few days.
Really?
- Is he on vacation or something?
- Well, he shouldn't be.
The last time he signed into the
lab was two nights ago at midnight.
He turned the place upside
down, got the janitor fired
and locked up at three in the
morning, left with the key.
Nobody's seen him since.
Why'd he get the janitor fired?
- Insubordination, apparently.
- Hmm.
Do you have this janitor's contact info?
I'd like to get in
touch, maybe they know
what's going on or
how to track him down.
Come with me.
What?
Ugh. Where's that fool at?
Whoa, okay, uh, Dustin, are you okay?
No. No. Not at all.
I tried to put saline in
my eyes and I accidentally
brought my contact cleaner I guess
Okay, do you have the keys?
Peroxide, I shot peroxide
directly into my eyes.
And I think I have a scratched
cornea because it really stings.
Chase, I need the keys, where are they?
Look, you could sit out
there, there's a bench.
No, because I can't find
them! Right? Because
You want to know why?
I can't see at all.
- Oh, boy.
- All right, look.
Oh, I'm suffering some
serious ouchies today, Kelly.
I bet. Look, I gotta talk to
this janitor about Michel Owens.
I will text you where I'm going.
All right, you look for the keys
and get your hands out
of your face, all right?
Your natural tears will wash
away whatever's going on in there.
And then, you drive to meet me there.
Yes. That sounds good. Got it, Kelly.
Kelly?
Uh
Hey, Sealey, what should you do
if you get peroxide in your eyes?
I found this on the web.
Sealey, I can't I can't see, right?
So I can't read. I need
you to read it for me.
I'm not sure I understand.
Is there something else
I can help you with?
Yes! How can I fix my eyes, please?!
I found this on the web.
Sealey! Kiss my ass!
Still no word from the Prince.
This is so typical of the Prince,
but I'm gonna get a call
back any minute, okay?
We can't be here all
day, man. What time is it?
I don't know.
From this side, it looks
like it's about 5 o'clock.
On this side, I'm not so sure.
- Funny, guys. Real funny.
- Oh, you think something's
Krish!
I've been looking for ya.
Let's get in the whip, Krish.
I gotta take a load off.
I, uh, managed to break down
that little sample of yours.
Turns out purple rain is
nothing but caffeine and sugar.
No, that's That's not my product.
- You cheated me.
- Get in the car, Krish.
Whoa! Hey, hey, hey.
Now, we don't have to do this.
Watch out!
I didn't cheat you,
okay? It was the Prince!
It was the Prince, I promise!
Who's the Prince?!
It's the guy that
controls the chemistry lab
at Guelph Tech, okay?
His name is Michel Owens.
Michel Owens, that's all I know.
Hey! Get off of him!
All right, all right, all right.
You got the information. We
don't need the knives, right?
No, I'm still gonna wreck you
and then just head to Guelph.
- Freeze! Back up!
- Hey, hey, hey!
- GTPD, you're under arrest!
- Drop the knives, now!
- Get up against the wall!
- Hurry up!
MacCleary!
You guys are cops?
Fooled you, didn't I? Turn around.
Turn around!
Yeah!
There's no more big noise.
Naz arrested Krish who confirmed
that Michel is the Prince.
No, I can't hear you, I got low bars.
Damn, this is a lot
further than I thought.
Okay, listen, I spoke
to Naz, can you hear me?
Hello?
What are you doing?
This is just off Kelly's advice,
I'm leaning into the discomfort,
it's really helping me.
Hello, I can't hear
you. What did you say?
- I'm just gonna turn that off.
- No, honey, don't do that
because it's really helping
me, so I'm just gonna
- turn that back on. What?
- How is it helping
Wait, wait, wait. Sam,
Sam, you're breaking up.
Hello? What did you say?
Listen, Kel, hey, could you
just repeat that for me, please?
Repeat that for me.
The last time Michel was
seen he fired the custodian
and now I'm trying to figure
out what happened that night.
Okay no, no, no.
Fired who?
Kel, he fired who? Who did he fire?
What?!
- Hello?
- Hello!
Hi.
You look really great today.
Are you good? I'm great. So
when are you gonna go see Jackie?
I'm going right now.
Perfect. I'm gonna go with you.
- No.
- Yeah.
- What do you mean?
- We're just gonna
- have like a road trip
- No, no, no.
- No road trip!
- It's gonna be so much fun!
Oh my God! Beep, beep! That's the horn.
Hi.
- Hi. Can I help you?
- Hi. Yes.
I'm so sorry to disturb
you. I'm Detective Kelly Duff
from the greater Toronto
Police Department.
I was wondering if I can
ask you a few questions
about Michel Owens.
Yeah.
Sure. Yeah.
- You wanna come in?
- Is that okay?
- Yeah.
- Thanks.
Just leave that open, please.
- Oh. Okay.
- Yeah.
Oh, my my dad installed
that when I was a kid.
Because I used to sleepwalk.
- Yeah, here, um.
- Ah, yeah, thanks.
I'm uh, just sorting
through some bills here.
Stressful on any given
day, but it's especially
freaking me out a couple of days
after randomly getting fired.
Yeah, I heard about that.
Yeah. Michel Owens.
What do you want to know about him?
Hey, I'll be right back.
Hey, it's Kelly Duff.
Leave a message.
Well now.
Hey now.
Hi.
Hi.
It took you long enough.
Yeah.
Plus, I brought my mom.
That would be really funny.
Yeah. Um, except I did.
Jackie!
Hi!
Oh my gosh!
What are you doing here? I know.
- Studying!
- My mom!
- How are you?
- Yeah.
So Michel Owens fired you?
Yeah, right in the middle of a meltdown.
What was the meltdown about?
Oh, that I shouldn't be
there when he's working,
but I'm not cleaning enough.
And he doesn't want
anyone touching his stuff.
He's done it before to other staff,
I just happened to be
his target that day.
Did you ever see anything
strange going on in his lab?
I'm a custodian, Detective Duff,
I see strange stuff all the time.
- Right, right.
- I'm basically invisible.
I mean, I heard you've been
working there for a few years
so it must have been hard
to keep your head down
- and ignore it all.
- Hard? Yeah, yeah,
that's an understatement.
- So
- And like, he knows
- what my situation is, it's
- Uh-huh.
- I'm so sorry.
- No, no, no, please,
go right ahead. Sometimes you
just need to let it all out.
Please.
Okay. Yeah. He knows I'm
hanging onto my dad's farm
by a thread and I need
every cent I can make,
but he doesn't care.
Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter to him.
And he, you know, inevitably
They forget about the
little guy, like my dad.
My dad was so brilliant,
he was so brilliant.
He was always racing into the future
and he was making these plans.
But he had ADHD and
he was super scattered
and he went to the doctor about
it and he tried to get testing,
but they couldn't diagnose him
because testing wasn't
covered for adults.
So he just self-medicated with booze,
and then he died
driving drunk a year ago.
And I see how all of these
stuck-up Guelph Tech students
look at me while I'm mopping the floor.
And they judge me.
But they don't know me.
Nobody does.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry,
sometimes I just get
a little bit carried away.
Oh, no, no, no, you're
good, you're good.
I said, "let it all out."
Um
Hey, do you mind if I use your restroom?
Mm-hmm. Yeah. It's just down the hall.
Thanks.
- Tuesday, what are you doing?
- I'm not dumb, all right?
I know when someone's
being fake with me.
- No!
- I'm done with all this, okay?
No, no, no, Tuesday! Come back here!
Tuesday!
Oh, sh Come on!
Ugh!
Come on, come on!
Ugh!
Ugh, come on. Come on, come on.
Crown attorneys have
a no-tolerance policy
for drug dealers who
sell a synthetic cathinone
made from legal ingredients
and think they're too
smart for the system.
And overdose numbers are high, so.
Judges do like nice, educated
boys with no previous charges.
Not when some of those
overdoses have resulted in death.
And your client's the only one
selling this product on the market.
But that's okay, you're a tough guy.
You can handle yourself.
We'll just have to see what the
gangs on the inside think of that.
Fine.
We'll deal. Go ahead, Krish.
Tell them what you know.
I first heard about purple
rain at a house party in Guelph.
I know that students were
using it to micro-dose,
to help them with school,
but if they snorted it,
it's a pretty cool psychedelic.
Got a message from the
manufacturer, the Prince,
and they asked me if I wanted
to get into business with them.
Come.
Sorry for interrupting, but
we've got Michel Owens in custody.
Arrested him at the island
airport about to fly to Muskoka.
He's in holding.
This is ridiculous. You have
no reason to be holding me.
I told you I've done nothing wrong!
Detective Sergeant Nathan Greene.
Detective Taai Nazeer.
And you are Dr. Michel
Owens, currently employed
as chemistry lab manager at Guelph Tech.
- I don't know, you tell me.
- You've been identified
- as the maker of purple rain.
- What?
Are you talking about
my prince cover band?
'Cause that was ten
years ago and we were bad,
- but it's certainly not illegal.
- I'm talking about purple rain
the synthetic drug that
you've been manufacturing
and selling out of your workplace.
I'm not making drugs,
I'm not selling drugs.
Am I good at my job? No, I
have little to no patience,
but I am not making drugs.
- Have you talked to Tuesday?
- Who's Tuesday?
The janitor I just had
fired after I caught them
after hours working late
cooking shit up in my
lab and lying about it.
Kelly, it's confirmed,
Michel is not the Prince.
Where are you?
The second that you get a
signal, you have to call me.
Hey.
So, Elliot tells me that you
really turned things around.
You're halfway through your first year.
Mom. Are you okay?
How did you straighten out your
study habits, just discipline?
Yeah, just discipline.
Why?
Have you heard of a new
drug? It's called purple rain,
it's really popular
at schools right now.
Oh my God. Mom. Are you kidding me?
Didn't we talk about this?
She's not involved in it, okay?
I don't know why that's
so hard to believe.
Right?
I do purple rain.
I've been micro-dosing
it, but it's been good.
It's been really good, actually.
Like, I've never really
been able to focus before,
but I can finally apply
myself and actually
Yeah, I need you to tell me
where you got it from right now.
Why would I do that?
Because Naz confirmed that
someone's posing as a lab manager.
Because I can't find Kelly and
I think she's in real trouble.
Because your micro-dosing
might help you ace a test,
but it's killing kids who snort it.
Because Elliot knows you,
he says you're a good person
and I trust him.
There's a custodian on campus
named Tuesday who makes it.
I have a friend named Raya
who knows where they live.
You're gonna call Raya
and get an address.
- And you're gonna drive me there right now.
- Yup.
Kelly!
Kelly!
It's okay, we're gonna
get you out of there.
Do you smell that? It's gas.
Kel! Can we get in there?
I mean, there's bars on the window.
Kelly!
Kelly!
Oh my God, this place is a fire hazard.
- Kel!
- Hey. Hey.
If we're smelling gas
and Kelly's passing out,
that means there's enough
gas in the air for any amount
of electrical current to
make this place explode.
I'm studying chemistry right
now, I'm doing chemical bonds.
Hey!
Hey, Kel, can you hear me?
Listen. Don't turn any
switches on or off, okay?
You can't trigger the
electrical current.
There's a motion sensor
light wired into the ceiling.
Oh my God. Oh my God! Okay! That's okay!
Okay, don't panic!
Nobody panic! It's okay! Don't panic!
Stay there, we'll get you out!
Get back!
Step back, step back, step back.
Hey, hey, hey.
Ah!
Ooh.
Oh.
Okay.
I see it.
- She can crawl out.
- No, she can't.
She'll trigger the sensor,
this whole place will blow up.
I think we should wait
for the fire department
- or Enbright or something.
- When is that happening?
Is your phone working?
Because mine's not.
Do you remember the motion
sensor that was in our driveway
- outside your window?
- Yeah.
When I used to sneak
in and out of the house,
I would crawl on stomach to avoid
setting it off and waking you up.
And it worked.
I mean, that sensor looks
like it's pointed outwards,
not down.
So if she can crawl out,
we can get her out without
triggering it. Trust me!
I love that you're saying "trust
me" after you admitted all of that.
Okay.
Kel.
I need you to crawl towards us, okay?
Come on, Kelly. You can do it.
Okay, she can't.
I'm gonna go in after her.
- Careful!
- Yeah.
All right, get behind me.
Listen to me.
You're gonna pull us out, okay, Elliot?
You're gonna pull us out.
Give me slack, give me
slack, give me slack.
Watch your elbows. Elbows!
Get lower!
Feet!
Okay, I'm with you.
It's okay. It's okay.
Okay, here we go. Okay.
Okay, Elliot, pull.
Come on.
Hold on, not so fast, hold on. Hold on.
Come on. You can do it, Kel.
Come on, pull, pull, pull, Elliot.
Pull, pull, pull. Grab her hands!
Come on, come on!
Grab her hands!
Grab her hands!
Go, go, go.
Are you okay?
- Watch it!
- Are you okay?
- Here, here come on.
- All right, just breathe.
You're good, you're good, you're good.
- You okay? Is everybody okay?
- Jackie, Jackie, run.
- Get a signal, call for help.
- Okay.
You okay?
Tuesday. Yo!
Tuesday!
It doesn't matter how
much you promise them.
Yes, I know they're scary,
but I can only carry
as much as I can carry,
and that cop is here and there's
been some kind of an explosion
and I gotta go right now, okay?
Tuesday! What are you doing?
No, no, get out of my way.
Tuesday. Stop.
No.
Oh, gosh, whew!
That was a lot, maybe a bit too much.
Are you okay? I think I'm
doing okay, what was I saying?
I was saying, uh right,
yeah. You are under arrest.
Okay. Let's go.
- What are you looking for?
- Huh?
- What?
- What are you looking for?
I'm looking for purple rain
because if they arrest Tuesday
there's not gonna be anymore
and I need to get through finals
and I need to get a
scholarship for next year
- and I just need a little bit.
- You don't need that
- to get through finals!
- I do.
- I do need it.
- Why don't
If you're having problems concentrating,
there's plenty of
other stuff you can do.
Seriously, Jackie, you
are already brilliant,
you don't need that stuff.
All right, Tuesday. I need
you to talk to me right now.
Did Krish put you up to all this?
Hmm?
You know what?
I didn't make purple rain
with the intention of dealing.
I just started reading
about ADHD and ways to focus.
And then, I started playing with
chemicals in the lab after hours.
I'm like my old man, you know?
I'm pretty sure I have ADHD too
and I was just trying to help people.
Yeah.
Were you trying to help the
people who overdosed and died?
Hmm?
Were you trying to help them too?
Come on.
Wow.
Kelly, there you are.
Boy, what a rigmarole, huh?
I finally got in touch
with Watts, he brought up
some eye drops and this patch.
Saved the day, he did.
Oh he did, did he? Thank God for Watts.
Uh-huh.
Thank you, Officer.
Now I hope you're a fan of Anne Murray.
But if not, doesn't change anything.
I'm not really in the
business of letting
arrested drug dealers
choose my playlist.
But I will warn you,
I love to sing along.
Do you know any lyrics
to Anne Murray songs?
- No, I have no idea
- Oh, well, first timer,
you're in for a treat.
We got Snowbird
Oh, geez, wait, I can't
drive, I have a concussion.
Well I can't either, I just
almost died of propane inhalation.
Oh, right.
- I just smoked a bunch of weed, so.
- Same.
You wanna just go back to my residence?
Yeah.
- Okay, see ya'.
- Call you tomorrow.
It was a treat.
Sadly, I also cannot drive.
- I'm still blind in one eye.
- Oh God, put it down.
Sam, you home?
- Ro! How's it going?
- Hi.
I was trying to find this
recipe that I sent Sam,
I was gonna make it
for her as a surprise.
- Oh, is she sleeping?
- No. No, she's not home.
I tried to get her to
stay in bed, but I think
that Kelly was pressuring
her to go to work.
I wasn't expecting you to be home
so I just let myself in again,
but if you don't need me to cook
I should probably go because
I have a ton of work to do.
You go. I'll order pizza.
Sam eats so much pizza
it puts her in a coma.
She'll be in bed for a week.
Oh, I know.
Huh. Interesting.
Thank you for saving my life. Again.
Man, I can rely on you for everything.
Not everything.
I heard what happened the
night of the roller rink.
Those two uniformed cops.
That's horrible.
I can't imagine. And I
know that I can't imagine.
And I completely understand why you
didn't want to talk to me about it.
Well, it was hard to talk about, Sam.
It's just a reality
I'll never have to endure
whereas like Shanks
and Nathan, they would
- understand more easily.
- Yeah, well
Even Shanks had to pull
it out of me this morning.
You know, it's less words
for Nathan and Shanks
to understand what I'm
feeling, but it doesn't mean
that I can't talk to you too.
And best friends don't need to
be everything all the time, right?
Like, you might not
always be my first stop
when I'm dealing with a racist asshole.
And I may not be your first
stop when you need someone
to buy you groceries and make you lunch
and be all hovery-dovery
and worried about you
because you bumped your little
head, you lean on Ro for that one.
I don't know, I remember you being like,
"Oh, would you like collard
greens? I love you so much,
you're my favourite person. How
about some ribs, please? I love you,
- I want to hold you."
- I did not say "I love you,
I want to hold you," I was bluffing,
she was trying to show me up.
Besides, you gotta be hella sick
for me to be up in the kitchen
all day acting like I'm your bitch.
Yeah, I guess we'll
just leave that to Ro.
Yeah.
Tough day.
I had a thought, it
goes a bit like this.
I go to your house,
you get out the ribs,
get out some collard greens,
I'll sit back in the couch,
you just whip that up
for me. What do you think?
Keep dreaming.
