Pretty Hard Cases (2021–…): Season 2, Episode 6 - Life Jacket - full transcript

We know Adam Gentle
laundered money

for a number of different
criminal enterprises.

Before he was killed,
Adam implied

that there was a new alliance.

- The Coyotes.
- It sounds more

like a conspiracy theory.

I found something in Adam's file.

Okay, can you look up
Will French please?

I wasn't completely honest
with you earlier.

That night that cop got shot,

some guy paid me 200
to set off some fireworks



by that shot tipper thingy.

Look like him?

This is Will French
park bench real estate mogul.

He owns an empty house
in Port Credit

where we found the remnants
of a possible Coyote drug lab.

So this little piece of pink rubber
that you found, cocaine?

This guy, you know, Tobin,
he just gets me to move stuff.

Like pick up and deliver stuff.

Are you gonna tell me why you

graced Toronto
with your presence?

- I'm pregnant.
- I'm pregnant.

I think you owe me
a hundred bucks, Kelly.

You always said you'd be
the first one to be pregnant.

Come on.



Oh. I put them on the hook.

I always put my keys
on the hook.

Not always.
Remember that time you found them

- in your rubber boots?
- Thank you.

Huh.
Apparently, I need to be careful today.

Careful of what?

Who knows?
Potholes, falling pianos,

- getting my heart broken.
- Oh, yeah.

You, on the other hand,
let's see.

Trust in the universe, Scorpio.
Today's sun and Saturn

will reveal the truth
and make your path easy to follow.

And your path
is right back to bed

with a handsome and devoted partner
from your past.

Nice try.

Ah, interesting.

You may have trouble keeping track
of minutiae today,

but when in doubt,
check the freezer.

Check, check the freezer?
What does that mean?

Okay. Len, if you know
where my keys are, please tell me.

Babe, I'm telling you
what the stars say.

Fine.

What the...

Oh, no.
Len, that's not funny.

Get up please.

I'm not trying to be funny.

Open it.

That's my grandma's.
She always wanted you to have it.

Kelly Marie Duff,

I know this may seem fast

And impulsive and insane.

Len, what happened to us
taking things slow?

I don't have time to waste.

We'll buy a house.
We'll have kids.

What are we waiting for?

This was always our plan.

-Yeah, but
-Look, look,

I have loved you
for five years straight

and that has never changed.

I've changed a lot.

Thank God.
But that part of me never did.

Okay.
Can you please just get up?

Please.
You look crazy.

Ow, ow.

You need a carpet.

I know.

Kelly, seriously,
we're good together.

I know we've been
through a lot, but let's dive in.

Let's do it.
Let's get married.

This is nice.
I like that.

But I'm sensing

- Oh.
- A little ambivalence.

Yeah.
Len, I'm just... Len.

That's fine, okay?
I get it.

Take your time.
I'm not going anywhere,

all right?

I'll just take this.

We'll put this right here

- Okay.
- So you don't forget.

You know, I need a job.
Hey, how does one go

about getting one
of those, Barb?

A legal, real job?

Or, you know, a real legal job.

You know, I'm not picky.

You're ready to go clean, Jack?

I think so.

Well, trust me, if I can do it,
you can do it.

It's not easy
but it's way better.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Ask Shanika for help.

What's your new gig again?

Oh. It's...

it's at a coffee shop,

Beanbags.

Beanbags, over on Dundas.

Beanbags?
Oh, that's funny.

I haven't heard of that one.

- Must be new.
- Mm.

Hey, what's in the suitcase?

Change of clothes.

Being around coffee all day
makes you smell.

Listen, put in a good word
for Jack.

Maybe she can get some shifts.

I offered but she said no.

Oh, too square for you
at the service industry?

Too good girl?

I'm trying to be good.

Good girls are boring.

Better safe than sorry.

Have a good day at work.

Here we go.

Okay, okay.
Before we go in,

can I... can I just see, please?

Please just give
your mother a gift.

- Amazing.
- Okay. Quit it.

No, it's true, I wish
they had PEPY when I was a kid.

Oh, my God, this is the dorkiest thing
that's ever happened to me.

Well, I think you're a baller.
No?

Balling, is that what you say?
Do you say balls?

- Or how do you use it?
- You don't.

So 40 hours of this

and then you're gonna pay
for my university and everything?

Yeah.
If you don't get kicked out

or embarrass me.

That wasn't part of the terms.

It was a given.
Now, listen, I had to pull strings

to get you in here
in such short notice, okay?

So be good.

- Okay.
- Okay, have fun.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Okay.

Who's in charge here?

I just put them on this morning.

I need to find it before I'm stuck
babysitting all day.

You're not babysitting.
PEPY is an important program.

Easy for you to say.
You're not the one

who's been sidelined
to teach teenagers.

Hey.

You'll get back out there soon.

You sure you lost it,
not stalling?

Nathan,
these are really special earrings.

-I
-Got it.

Oh, my God. Thank you.

I thought this earring
was lost forever.

See you tonight, yeah?

Mm-hmm.

Morning, Kelly.

Oh, hey.

- That could be it.
- Yeah.

Hey, we just got word.
Will French.

So the Port Credit house
where the drugs are being converted.

- Damn, that fast?
- Mm-hmm.

Doesn't matter.
That location was dead anyway.

We had surveillance on it
for weeks.

Nobody ever saw another drop.

Any idea where
they're processing the drugs now?

Not yet.
We looked into his new properties,

his businesses,
even his vehicle leases.

No suspicious activity.

The guy's clean as a whistle.

No, no one's that clean.

What about family?
Any skeletons in the closet?

Yeah, we couldn't find much
about him before 2015,

except we do know
that he's the guardian

of his younger sister, Adeline.

But check this out.
He's her conservator.

Like Britney Spears?

Yeah. Exactly.

Turns out Adeline liked to party
a little too much,

couldn't take care of herself.

So now Will French
controls everything that she does.

Is she his weak spot?

Well, I've been working them.

He's tight-knit and protective
of her so possibly.

Is he beginning to trust you?

Well, he thinks I'm a doctor
with shade

but he hasn't spilled
anything yet.

I know he's been divorced
a couple of times.

He's been married
three times in the last five years.

Can you imagine that?

I think he likes getting married
more than he likes being married.

I'm an idiot.

I mean, it makes me feel better
about my one failed marriage.

And my one failed marriage.

- Up top.
- Yes.

Okay, can you guys stop
saying that word please?

- Which, marriage?
- Yeah.

Like the more time you say,
it just starts sounding funny.

Let me try, marriage, marriage,
marriage, marriage, marriage,

- marriage, marriage.
- Marriage, marriage. Mirage.

Mirage. Mirage. Mirage.
You're right.

- Oh, mirage is good.
- No, that's it.

Yeah, it does sound weird.
It sounds really weird.

Stop!

Okay.

We also talked to all of his exes.

Each one hates him
more than the last.

Although none of them
knew anything criminal by Will.

I mean, if you learned anything
from them,

it's like don't get married.

- Don't do it.
- Yeah, yeah, so

- Hey, guys.
- It's so stupid.

- I know.
- Can we get back to business please?

All right, if we're gonna find out
why Will paid Dane

to set up a shot tipper,
we need to get closer to him for real.

Find out who's calling the shots,
who he's taking orders from.

But how?
We have nothing.

I didn't think
I would ever say this

but here I am and here I go.

The Green Team
have done us proud today.

Yeah, exactly.
I'm not kidding.

Even in the slightest.

In a city where weed is legal,

they have managed to seek out
and apprehend

a major haul
and a ring of drug dealers.

Meanwhile, you, four of our best
and brightest are languishing

in this stagnant room,

doing nothing to stop
The Coyotes

from importing cartel cocaine
and preying on our witnesses.

Oh, wow.
That was a very eloquent speech, sir,

but until recently,
you didn't even believe

- The Coyotes existed.
- Well, until recently

you hadn't proved their existence.

Okay.
Either way,

what does the Green Team bust
have to do with our case?

Your suitcases, a bunch of them
at the bus station right now.

They can't keep the dogs
off of them.

Listen to me.
I'm not sure

Right here?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, wow.
What do you know?

It's the same stuff
we found in Port Credit.

Yeah.
Now we know how

the Pandilla Quince
were bringing the suitcases in.

- Yeah.
- So this is good, right?

We... we helped your case?

Well, it would have been
better if you called

before you sequestered
the luggage.

A drug bust pretty much
ensures the Pandilla Quince

won't use this route again.

Yeah.
And now we'll never know

who is supposed to pick up
the suitcases, so...

Way to make your mark, Chatty P.

It's not my fault.
This dog has a yin for coke.

Why were you looking
for marijuana?

Yeah, you guys know
it's legal now, right?

It might be legal here
but it's still illegal to export it.

- Yeah.
- We got a tip

about a ring of rouge bus drivers

picking up green
from grow-ups and berry.

And get this.
Every delivery has coincided

with a Phish concert.

I figured that part out.

People still listen to Phish?

- What's Phish?
- It's a... it's a White people thing.

Oh.

That's an odd coincidence.
We needed to find more

and, well, we find a suitcase.
I think it's a sign.

Yeah.
A pretty clear sign actually.

Hold up,
what do you guys talking about?

Uh, you know,
when you ask for a sign

from the universe
and it occasionally speaks back?

Okay.
Home seance,

drink big, dream off,
and mom needs wine to focus.

- It's better at the beach.
- No.

It's the sign we were looking for.

Right, 'cause we just busted
Will's route,

he'd be looking for another one.

I think it may be time
for Dr. Griffin

to introduce Will to my old friends,
Scarborough Stu.

Yo, Scarborough Stu.

Miss that guy.
Right?

He's got a fleet of trucks

ready to drive across
our border scene.

And lots of room
for added inventory

but maybe just a little
bit less of that accent.

What's wrong with the accent?

What... yo, that's, that's rude, fam.

That's real rude, fam.
Not cool.

Hi.

Hey, how's the work?

You selling lots of coffee?

I dropped a suitcase off
like I was supposed to,

but when I went to the bus station

to do another pickup,
the cops were there.

So now the route is busted.

So you dodged a bullet.

So now they wanna break down
all the coke.

Like tonight.

So Tobin asked me to

find some people to help.

Don't look at me.

Jackie, please. I need you.

- No!
- Have you had any luck finding a job?

No, but I'm still looking.

Well, then, see, make some fast cash
in the meantime.

I can't.

Fine.

I'll find some other guys.

Oh, yeah, where?
Who?

Who you're gonna find?

I grew up in Marshall Court,
remember,

so don't worry about it.

Hey, Shanika.

You be careful, okay?

Thank you.

Salud, gentlemen.

Oh, that's good.

Yeah.
That's tasty, fam.

Yeah, fam, it is tasty.

So, Stu,

I'm guessing that you're looking
to purchase a new home.

Nah, man.
I don't want a house.

Why else would you reach out
to a real estate agent?

I need to expand my business.

I got this ex.

She cleared me out.

I mean,
don't get married because then,

you know, you gotta get divorced,
and divorce...

I mean, it sucks.

Yeah, you're telling me.

So, Stu,
if you don't mind me asking,

what kind of business
are you in?

Import, export.
Various products.

I like to diversify
as much as I can.

He's a good guy.

You're a good guy.

Hustlers the both of you.

I think that you should meet.

Okay.

Okay, I hear you.

So you're looking
for warehouse space?

That's what I'm talking about.
For my trucks.

All right.
Well, let's take a look at the MLS,

see if we can find
what you're looking for.

How's business anyway?

Just added in a truck.

Let me ask you a question.

Do you really believe in signs,

synchronicity, coincidence,

epiphanies,
and all that kind of stuff?

Yeah... no.

I mean I don't know.

I mean, I'm not above taking
advice from my horoscope.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Like if I'm having a difficult time
making a decision,

I'll just invite input from the universe.

Sometimes you just need a sign,
you know?

Like a road sign or a neon sign

or a smack in the face.
Undeniable sign.

- Sam.
- Yes.

- Sam.
- Yes.

Like what, what are they doing?

Oh.
They must be Armenian.

It's a twist
on an old wedding tradition.

The groom's family buys a dress
and they walk it over on the big day.

My college roommate married
an Armenian.

And on her wedding day,

they walked her dress
over the apartment.

And guess what happened.
Guess what happened.

- What?
- A bird shat on it.

- Oh, that's a good sign.
- Well, not really

'cause they divorced
four years later, so...

the poop was bad.

Don't buy that boat.

- Why not?
- I mean, you do

whatever you want, but, uh,
just so you know,

you buy that boat,
you gotta register.

Now you're on Harbor Police's radar.

You want a boat,
I got access to a pretty sweet one.

I could, uh,
let you use my services

for a reasonable price.

I mean, I got cargo coming back
and forth all the time,

and I got somebody who looks
the other way when I come in.

I tell you what,
I'll take you on the boat.

I'll take out the boat.
You check it out.

You see for yourself.

Interesting.

How's Saturday?

Saturday's perfect.

I guess we gotta find
a boat by tomorrow.

And who knows how to drive it?

I thought the plan
was for Naz to offer trucks.

Uh, he had to improvise
and he dangled a different carrot.

And by carrot, she means a boat.

Do you have any idea
where we can get one?

Actually, yes.
What are we thinking?

Dinghy, pontoon, catamaran?

I'm an experienced yachtsman.

I spend every summer out
on the island down at the old RCYC.

Oh, my God. Really?
Experienced seawoman right here.

My Uncle Travis,
he was a key mariner.

He taught me
everything that I knew.

A motorized yacht ideally.

I love this. I'm gonna make some calls,
find a willing vessel.

Uh, is Naz an able seaman?

That's funny.
I was wondering the same thing, too.

How is Naz as a seaman?
Don't know if you've become familiar

with his seaman side, have you?

I have not met the seaman
in him yet

but I do plan on showing him
the ropes.

Hey, if you're busy,
I'm happy to throw my hat in the ring.

Take him out,
give him a few pointers.

Oh, no, you know what?
That's okay, sir, I can handle it.

I really don't mind.

I'm sure you have much more
important thing to do, sir.

It's true. I do.

Okay. Well, fair winds

And following seas.

Yes.

Oh, gosh.
Are you okay?

I almost threw up in my mouth.

All the intergenerational wealth
makes me a little nauseous.

Okay.

That's what I like to see.

Your mom would be so proud.

Yo.

You don't like my art?

I wouldn't exactly call it art.

I'm just kidding.
It's not mine.

So you work with these cops?

Uh... sort of.

But trust me, I'm not a cop.

Right.
Mine's over here.

I can show you.

I, uh, ran out of red paint.

I was supposed to be picking up
more paint on payday.

I babysit a few kids in the area
a few times a week.

I tell you, man,
I earn every penny.

It's... it's really cool.
It's good stuff.

Thanks, man.

So are you gonna
wash this off, too?

No. Not really.

I'll help you finish it.

Hey, Shanika, what's cooking?

Come on, guys,
let me try to get it.

Listen up, I need your help.

It's easy money.
The guys will tell you what to do.

And if you work tonight,
you can probably make

- like five bills each.
- For real?

Yo. Hey, no,

we, we can't do that here.

Five bills a night?
Yeah, I'm gonna do it.

Oh, no.
You haven't been to prison.

I have, and if I couldn't handle it,

you certainly can't.

Shanika, you don't... don't bring
trouble around here.

- We've got enough going on.
- But it's only...

No.
Why you always thinking

about a quick bag?

Can we just chill out
and make some work?

Come on.

? Talking in tongues when I speak,

Is Jackie gonna be there?

If I say yes,
will you come with me?

No.

What?

You've just been silent
this whole time.

Oh.

Seems like something's
on your mind.

Hmm.

You okay?

Sure, yeah.
You okay?

Yeah, I have no complaints.

Stop dodging bullets.

What's up?

Uh, I'm just thinking.

Okay, here's a question.

Um, are you happy, happy?

Well, happiness ebbs and flows.

You good?

Yeah, sure.

Okay.

That's what you wanted to know?

Uh...

oh, okay, let me ask you this.

Uh, how do you know

when you're making
the right choice?

Man, you don't always,
not at first.

First night after I bought
my house,

I nearly threw up.

A buyer's remorse.

But it turns out the bad feeling

didn't mean
it was a bad decision.

- Mm-hmm.
- Sometimes pulling the trigger

is the hard part.

Are you in or you out?

Either way, making a choice

is better than sitting around
debating it.

DS Greene, such a pleasure.

Officer Park.

Give me your hand.

Thank you, my friend.

This boat was confiscated
a couple months ago.

I think it's gonna meet
your needs perfectly.

Oh, yeah.
So how did the owner lose it?

Fishing without a license?

- Nah, public indecency.
- Hmm.

He was filming orgies
on the lake.

Oh.

Hey, babe,
I was just thinking about you.

Hmm.
Funny because I was,

uh, thinking about you.

Ah. All good things I hope.

Mostly.
Yeah.

I was thinking I could pick up
some sushi for dinner,

maybe for that place on 4th,

we can continue our conversation?

Uh, you know, I'm working late,

but I'll call you soon as I'm off.

Okay. I love you.

I, uh...

love you, too.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Okay, here are all the details
on the boat.

You text Will?

Yeah, he told me a Bride's Wave,
lot 81 tomorrow midday.

Be putting cameras on the deck,

and one in the cabin
just to be safe.

- Cool.
- Okay, landlubbers,

we got 18 hours
from this first mate into a captain.

Aye, aye, matey.

- That's good.
- That s funny.

- Yeah?
- Look at Skipper and her deckhand.

Good luck.
Keep us posted.

Thank you, sir. Let's go.

- Hey, Greene.
- Yeah.

Just wanna say thanks.

Gabrielle told me
you found your earring,

paid, a pretty penny
for those puppies.

So I would have been sad
if she lost one.

Hey, good catch, man,

can't blame her
for moving on from me.

Here it is.

Okay.

Gotta say it was a little bigger
than I was expecting.

It's gonna be fine, a boat like this
is kind of like a plane.

The only tricky part is the take-off
and the landing

but, you know, once you're out there,
instinct's just gonna take over.

Come on.
I'll show you.

Okay, so just remember
when you're leaving the dock,

you don t need to touch
the steering wheel.

I just use my transmission, right?

Yeah, that's right.
So there's three engines,

each with its own transmission
and throttle knob right here.

So, that's forward, that s neutral,
and that s reverse.

Okay, so, uh, forward,

neutral, and then reverse?

Yup, that's...

- Good.
- Okay, good, um, okay.

These are your blowers.

That's my blower.

- Yeah.
- Good, good, just making sure.

Yeah, no, and just remember
that you have to, um,

turn those on
before you turn on the engine.

How come?

- To exhausts the fumes.
- Yeah.

- Got to exhaust the fumes.
- Yeah.

Behind me is the bathroom stair.

- A what, sorry?
- You heard me.

Oh, wait, what about the cameras
that Kelly planted?

I already unplugged them.

Hey, Tobin.

I thought you were
bringing friends.

I didn't find anyone.
Everyone was busy.

You said it wasn't gonna be
a problem.

I didn't think it would be, but...

I don't like it
when people overpromise, Shan.

I'll find people.
I just need another day.

I'm sorry, really.

It's all good,

as long as you're sorry.

Well, that was, uh,

- you were... that was really...
- Yes.

- Nice.
- It was really nice, wasn't it?

Yeah, surprisingly,
you're pretty smooth, too.

It was pretty good.
I mean, except when you got your foot

stuck in that seat cushion thingy.

- Because that was just...
- I mean, I feel like that was just like

for a second,
not really worth mentioning.

- Okay, yeah.
- How it goes into the whole story,

- you know?
- Hey, do you think,

uh, the fact that
it took us so long

to get here means something?

I think it means that
maybe it was worth the wait.

I don't know, Sam.
I mean, it's different, right?

Like dating at our age?

You don t have to be
in such a rush about it all.

That's true, but you know what?

If you did wanna rush to duty
and I would say no.

Okay.
Yeah, up here.

- What do you think?
- Hey, Stu!

- Oh, my God, get down.
- Are you there?

It's Will.

All right.
Go away, go, go, go, go.

Hey, man.

Why are you a day early, bro?

Why aren't you wearin' pants?

Oh, no, I'd just taken a

disco nap, you know?
I don't wanna get

Hey, look, something came up
for tomorrow.

We need to talk about this now.

Yeah. Cool.

Hey, how's Nerd Squad?

Like summer camp
meets community service.

For the record,
I think you're more than ready

to get back to work.

Thanks for not treating me
like a baby.

And for everything else.

PEPY aside, I'm really glad to be back.

My health, work,

Nathan,

I just feel really lucky,
I guess.

Yes, you are.

Anyway, have a good night.

Yeah. Bye.

Hey, Len, it's me.

I'm just finishing up work.

I was thinking maybe
that we could meet back at my place

in about an hour or so.

Um, we need to talk.

Okay.

So how often do you, uh,
get it out on the water?

Oh, a couple times a week,
you know, for business.

Not for personal use.
Yeah, I did some digging

on the Bride's Wave
and seems like some good times

were had on this boat.

You're talking about the orgy stuff.

- Yeah.
- Listen, I hose the whole thing down.

Trust me, okay?
I still would not take a black light

to somebody's couches though.
Okay?

No, it's just my point is

this boat that you have access to

is supposedly discrete, off the radar.

This boat was confiscated
by the police

a few months ago.

- And then that got me wondering...
- Where's my phone?

Where's my phone?
Where's my phone?

Why would you use a boat

that was confiscated by the cops?

Are you a cop?

You got to be kidding me with that.

Am I... of course I'm not a cop.

It doesn't mean I don't know cops.

I got a friend at impound.

A cop friend.

A friend, friend.

I told you I got people
who bend the rules for me.

That's how I get stuff in.

It's how I get things done.

But if you don't trust me,

maybe you should
just get the hell off of my wave.

I have to do my due diligence.

It's just the thing is, not many
of my friends have heard of you.

Good.
Now what are we talking about here?

Is this a popularity contest
or is this a business deal?

Hey.

Will told me he's getting a new boat.

I hope I'm not too late
to christen it.

It's not a party,
it's a business meeting.

Either way, I'm not a dog.

You just left me
in the car like a dog.

Yeah.

It's your wife?

His sister.
Adeline.

He broke up with Trina,
which is why

he's not wearing any socks.

So weird he doesn't own his own.

You own your own socks, right?

Yeah, I do.

Like a grown-up man.

I just had deja... major deja vu.

I've been on this boat.

Yeah, Will,

I did Kiki on this boat.

Well, Kiki and Margo, and Larry,

- and George and...
- Okay, enough.

So do you wanna party or what?

No.

Okay.

You do your thing.
Don't mind me.

Oh, my God.

Is this already open?

Oh, no, I don't like that one.

Okay. Let's get enough of this.

Harbor Police, what's your emergency?

What was that?

It's a scanner.

I keep it on the police channel.

Make sure nothing's incoming.

Tell me why it did that.

I'd say he's smart.

A man who thinks ahead.
I like that.

Well, my dad always used to say,

"If you stay ready,
you don't have to get ready."

I hear that, brother.

- Your father sounds like a wise man.
- Oh, yes.

I came here for the bourbon.
I need a drink.

Hey, hello to you, too.
Where have you been?

Okay, what's up, bro?

Shanika, Shanika.

What happened?

I had to tell Tobin
I couldn't find anyone.

So what, he jumped you?
Did he jump you?

Yeah, that... girls do it.

Teach me a lesson.

A coyote never breaks their word.

Oh, sweetie,

sweetie, honey, sweetie.

You have got to stay away from this stuff.

No, you need to help me.

They're not gonna let me out that easy.

I need you to do this for me, okay?

There you are.

Oh, you look great.

I mean, not that you don't
usually look good, you do.

Ugh. I'm sorry, it's a sexual harassment.

What you want, Breann?

Okay, um, this is gonna sound weird
but we got a message for you

from the Harbor Police
on the radio and get this.

It's in Morse code.

What?

So "will you be my bride? Wait."

Is this a joke?

Did Len put you up to this?

Len who?

Um, no, I tried
to decipher it myself but, um...

oh, wait, hang on second.

I, I got a couple of letters wrong.

Okay, this is this and this is this,

hmm, it actually says, um, SOS,

Will is on the Bride's Wave.

- Is that...
- Sam.

Geez. Good work, Breann.

Oh, thank you.

Um, also, I just wanna say I'm really
sorry about the suitcase thing earlier.

God, it feels like
we've been here forever.

I, uh, do you mind if I go inside?

- The memories, you know.
- You know what?

I rather you didn't.
It's a big old mess down there.

I just wanna see
if it still has the padded ceiling.

Yeah.
Like you could remember that.

It's the kind of thing you don't forget.

You wouldn't know
because you're never invited.

Like I would wanna be invited.

Okay, guys, let's, uh,
let's just chill out for a sec.

How about, uh, how about
some more champagne, huh?

Let's have a toast.

I'm Stu, by the way,
we didn't officially meet.

Do people ever call you Stir?

Because I would.

That one's my favorite.

- They're all your favorite.
- Shut up, Debbie... Downer.

Yeah. I think you've had enough.

I think you're wrong.

So tell me about yourself, Stir.
What kind of business are you in?

- Import-export.
- Hmm.

- Is that code for a drug dealer?
- Adeline.

- What?
- No, I, uh,

I bring stuff across the border

in trucks, in cars, in boats.

So yes then.

It's very sexual. It's dangerous.

You a tough guy?

Am I a tough guy?

Sure, I'm a tough guy.

Perfect.

You know, my mom used to say

about guys who said
that they were tough.

Barking dogs seldom bite.

That's what she said.

And you remember
the Security of War slogan?

Loose lips...

sink ships.

Just don't say anything
in front of this one.

You just think I'm gonna blab everything?

Yeah. Because you do, Ade.

Okay, wait, can you give me those back?
They're like $700.

You spend $700 on flip-flops?

Oh, my God.

You're so uptight.

I'm up to... I'm done. Come on.

No, I'm staying with Stir.

Fine. Fine. I will call you a car.

Let's just see if you can remember
how to get back to the street.

- Adeline, you...
- And you,

she's your problem now.

Will, wait, we, we can work this out.

No, bro. You guys have fun.

You have no idea how long
I've been putting up with this.

Oh, yeah, I remember this place.

We'll settle this over a drink.

Trust me, the last thing
she needs is another drink.

Hey, can I use your bathroom?

Okay, because I am done.

What the hell is all this?

Who are you?

Stu, who the hell is this guy?

What did we say about...

Oh, wow, so now you got
two strangers in here, huh?

Good evening, officer.

You're gorgeous.

I'm taken.

- How taken?
- Very.

Like, I'm about to go for sushi
with my boyfriend

who proposed to me
this morning taken,

so back off.

Congratulations.
How did he pop the question?

He put the ring in the freezer.

Is there anything else you need know?

- Everything.
- Stu,

I need to talk to you in private now.

Yeah.

I'll be with you in a sec, Will.
Give me a second.

What part of private don't you get?

- What the hell are you doing?
- Saving you.

Just won't let it...

I don't want people seeing me.

That was part of our plan.

That's why I do things for you.

You understand?

So who the hell are these people?

Yeah. I met them on the island,
uh, they needed a water taxi.

No, you met them on the island
and needed a water taxi.

You run a water taxi business now?

Look, they're not even from here, okay?
You're safe.

I love you.

Fine. We'll pick this up tomorrow,

but you are coming to me.

Oh, sorry about that.

Hey, you were early, she was late.

Who was that?

Well, I didn't tell her who you were

so I'm sure as hell not
gonna tell you who she is.

Like I said, I got friends, Will.

I mean, why didn't you ask her to stay?

I mean, we could have had more drinks,

and FYI

I would never take a water taxi!

Okay, okay,

someone's been over-served.

Let's get you home.

Okay.

I'll call you tomorrow
when train-wreck's sleeping it off, okay?

You did good.

Oh, there's a caterpillar.

Hey.

I just would like to thank you again
for tonight.

That was amazing.

You kept Will's ridiculous sister

from finding me and Naz's play.

I was... truly inspired.

Well, I'm inspiring.

Honestly, convincing Will
that you're like a dirty cop

and telling Adeline
that you were engaged

so that she would leave you alone,
I mean, wow.

I thought your best undercover work
was always pulled from the truth,

but you've got quite an imagination.

Len asked me to marry him.

That's... wow.

What...

What did you say?

I told him I need I to think about it.

It's a big decision

and I don't know
where to find the answers.

And, you know, I keep seeing
these signs everywhere,

you know, the wedding dresses,
the name on the boat.

It's like the universe is shoving me
towards saying yes.

I just feel like
that's not a great reason to get married.

You're the one who told me
the universe gives you signs.

Yeah, if you're trying to decide
between chocolate and vanilla cake

for your son's birthday,
not for getting married.

I mean, Duff, for that,
you need to make an informed decision.

How can you make an informed decision
about getting married?

You can't be informed about the future.

True, there is an element of risk but,

I don't know.

Go with your gut.

Did you want to say yes?

Yes.

I wanna say, yes.
I want the kids. I want the house.

Technically, you can have
all those things on your own.

But I don't want it on my own.
I want a family.

And I wanted that with Len before
so I don't see why I can't have it now.

I mean, yes,
we had our issues in the past,

but they seem to have
sorted themselves out.

What are you doing?

We are going to figure this out together.

Okay. So you have a pretty big reason

to say yes, why say no?

Lifelong unhappiness.

That's what divorce is for, next.

- Okay. He relapses.
- Likelihood.

I don t know he's pretty solid,
it's been two years.

So I actually don't write that.

Okay. So what else?

Uh, we stopped having fun together.

- Right.
- No, actually, no, stop.

That's never been a problem of ours.

- Okay. What else?
- I don't know.

Well, Nathan's off the table,
so you can't say that.

Okay. So what... just,

what if Nathan was on the table,

- would you choose him over Len?
- He's not on the table.

No, I... I'm just...
I'm just saying,

Duff, Nathan is a really good guy,

like he's so good.
He could win awards.

If you think that you two
still have a chance,

maybe you guys should just hold off.

Good night, Sam.

No, wait, I just was wondering
when you were seeing signs,

were those signs pointing towards
Nathan?

I mean, maybe it wasn't obvious,

maybe it was like
a real signifier of meaning...

Duff?

I'm just saying it would have
been nice for me to know, that's all.

That's it.

I will never do that again, okay?

I don't wanna fight, please.

I don't wanna fight either.

Sam.

- Hey.
- Hi.

What if I told you I wanted to get married

because I saw four drunk girls
holding up a wedding dress in the street?

I would say that is a sign
you should not get married.

- I completely agree.
- Why, are we...

- are we getting married?
- Calm down, no, God, no,

although I did enjoy
seeing your seaman side.

- Not bad, huh?
- Yeah. It was pretty good.

Thank so you much.
Hey, let me ask you something.

What do you think,
your place or mine tonight?

Well, uh, it's just that my place
has a teenage son and a mom.

Right.
Well, I have a single bed in mine, so

Wow. I think that's a real excuse
to get close to you.

- Really?
- Yeah.

- What time is it?
- Almost ten.

Sorry I'm late, some work stuff came up,

- it was an emergency.
- It's all good.

You're here now.

Gosh, I could sure use a drink.

Oh, sorry.

You don't mind, do you?

I just feel that we could eat and...

Kel,

you left me a message hours ago
saying you wanted to talk.

You know damn well
I'm not gonna be able to eat.

My stomach is doing flips.

I had a damn stress nap.
I haven't done that since college.

Yes.

Yes?

Yes, I'll marry you.

Look, I'm tired of waiting
for my life to happen,

so, let's just do the damn thing

and put a ring on it.

You know if this doesn't fit,
I'mma read into it, right?

Oh, don't worry, so would I.
