Stumptown (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 18 - All Hands on Dex - full transcript
To get justice, Dex takes matters into her own hands after finding herself at the forefront of a murder investigation where she's the prime suspect. Meanwhile, Hoffman struggles to remain ...
Previously on "Stumptown"...
They're made for each other.
Yeah. Truly.
You got him wrapped
around your finger?
Who says I'm not wrapped
around his?
Grey: My dad's son has a
baseball tournament in Seattle,
and he wants to see me.
Is he coming?
I don't think so.
You have information
about the IED
that killed Benjamin Blackbird?
You understand the file
is classified, Top Secret.
Okay, I just need help, though.
I-I... Look, I wish I could,
but, Dex, it's D.O.D.
Benny was the whistleblower.
He was gonna expose
his entire squad.
That's what got him killed.

Fruit cup?
Excuse me?
Fruit cup.
Care for it much?
No. Not much.
[ Grunts ]
Mm.
So, what'd you do, sunshine?
I'm not sure.
You?
Oh, this is just all
a big mistake.
Yeah, I'll bet.
[ Buzzer ]
Excuse me, Officer, w-why am I
handcuffed to this bed?
'Cause you're under arrest?
For what?
Murder.
What... No. No, no, no.
There's gotta be

I'll bet.
Woman on P.A.:
Dr. Richman to room 118.
Cosgrove:
It went down last night.
Victim is Thomas "TJ" Junes.
Does that ring a bell?
No. He's a 35-year-old Army vet.
Shot to death at close range.
The guys found Dex
passed out at the scene.
Okay, Dex would never
kill anyone.
Trust me, I didn't want
to believe it either.
But you and I have both
seen a lot of things
we wouldn't want to believe.
There's got to be
an explanation.
We'll get it straightened out.
"We"? You can't possibly
be objective about this.
Lieutenant, come on, now.
You just said there was no way
Dex could have done this.
I was speaking figuratively. Oh,
okay.
Well, then,
figuratively speaking,
you're staying
the hell away from this case.
Who's gonna run second in there?
Hey. Just heard.
Crazy, right?
Yeah.
♪♪
[ Door closes ]
Why don't you walk us
through last night?
Yeah, of course.
I have, uh, nothing to hide,
so...
That is always comforting.
Where's Hoffman?
Tied up on another case.
She's a terrible liar.
How do you know Thomas Junes?
TJ. Yes.
So, um, TJ
and Benjamin Blackbird
were friends.
They were in the Army together.
Benny?
Uh, Sue Lynn's son?
Yeah.
So, you went there to...
To talk to him.
Um, and when I got there,
uh, there he was,
lying dead on the floor.
You know, I don't...
I don't quite remember...
You remember how you
got into the house?
The door?
Is that a question?
I think we all know how...
How I got into the house.
Better we hear
about the crowbar from you, Dex.
[ Scoffs ] You guys think
that I killed him.
No, we're just trying
to establish the facts.
You broke into his house...
I was... I was agitated.
And drunk, apparently.
I had a few, okay?
So what?
So what?
You were found unconscious
at the scene of a homicide.
So, until you give us
some explanation...
Okay, I was framed.
Stop talking, Dex.
Lee: Framed? By who?
By the person who killed TJ,
obviously.
Do I have to do your job?
Angry enough to break
into someone's house
and say whatever it is
you said to the guy.
No, he was dead
when I got there.
But why were you there?
What did you want
with Thomas Junes?
Oh. Okay.
She's done talking.
Aren't you...
Your lawyer.
Lionel Hoffman.
My client is under suspicion.
Are you pressing charges?
Well, we are trying
to ascertain that right now.
Well, you'll have to ascertain
that without her help.
If charges are forthcoming,
you will call my office.
I will surrender her promptly.
Until then, we need to get you
out of that orange thing.
Ladies, we outie.
We outie.
♪♪
Thank you so much. Whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You are done talking to cops,
alright?
Come on.
You called your dad?
Really?
He just happened to be upstairs
having coffee
with Judge Reynolds.
I didn't know
he was gonna bust in there...

Hey.
♪♪
So, what do you want from me?
A do over.
But I know that's not possible.
No, it... it isn't possible.
We don't get those.
I'm trying to make amends.
You blew me off with a text.
I was afraid!
A man is supposed to go
to the nth,
to protect his family.
Make any sacrifice, right?
Right.
I didn't do that with you.
Look, I... I know this may
sound hollow,
but if there's anything...
that you need from me,
anything I can do,
I just want you to know...
that I'm...
I'll let you know.
I'll go.

They did great.
They got third place.
Flew home with his mom

And what about you?
When do you head back?
Few days.

can we speak alone?
Uh, he's family.
He stays.
So, look, I-I didn't do this.
The only thing that matters
is what they can prove.
From the looks of things,
it could go either way.
So, what bad facts
are the cops gonna find
that I need to get ahead of?
I-I may have had motive.
That's a bad fact.
Mm-hmm.
Um, I-I had this friend...
Uh, Benjamin Blackbird...
And 12 years ago,
he was serving in Afghanistan.
Some of the guys
in his squad were dirty.
Benny was gonna blow
the whistle on them,
but they killed him
before he could.
Dirty how?
I don't know.
Um, Thomas Junes was one
of the men in his unit,
and I found out that
when he got back from the war,
he bought this very
expensive house,
and he's been living
like a trust fund kid.
So, you think he was involved?
No, the whole squad
was under investigation...
according to the classified
D.O.D. file
I may or may not have.
But it doesn't name names.
You know, I had a case
just like this back in '98.
Really?
No.
You kidding me?
Uh, one more thing.
[ Chuckles ]
I'm gonna need one of those.
I'm way ahead of you, bud.
That D.O.D. file.
Your son helped me get it.
He knows that I have a motive,
and obviously,
he hasn't told the cops.

Okay, I'm gonna need you
to stay here.
Do not talk to anyone.
Do not make this worse

Lionel: Yeah.
[ Door opens ]
[ Door closes ]
He doesn't know you at all.
This one doesn't look good.
Yeah. I think whoever
killed Benny also killed TJ.
But the report
doesn't name names.
Well, I have an idea
of how to find them.
And what are you gonna do then?
♪♪
[ Sighs ]
Sorry.
You got a good lawyer?
[ Sighs ]
The best, apparently.
But you're taking matters
into your own hands.
They killed Benny.
I'm not gonna do nothing.
Funny how the past
keeps on reinventing itself.
Always when you think
you've made peace with it.
Tell me how I can help.
I, um... I need to look
at the letters
that Benny sent you
from Afghanistan.
I'm... I'm trying to identify
the other guys in his squad.
Ah.
Sorry, I destroyed them.
W-Why... Why would you do that?
It's our way.
A ritual to help
our loved ones change worlds
and the...
And the grieving to let go.
Surely the Army
has the records...
No, the Army sealed
the investigation,
so they're not gonna help me.
What do you think you're doing?
Burning ritual?
White people always fall
for that hocus pocus.

in there I'm not proud of.

you used to talk about

Oh, yeah.

Can you hook me up with him?
Grey, that was 20 years ago.
Well, my friend's
in real trouble.
Friend?
Actually,
she's more than a friend.
And she's on the hook
for murder.
Whoa. Okay.
Murder?
It's not what you think.
I don't know what to think.
Well, she didn't do it,
but the deck is stacked
against her
and she could go away for this.
Whoa. Hold on.
And she wants to run?
No, she doesn't want to run,
but we could be getting
to a point soon
where she doesn't have a choice.
Okay, running is the worst
advice you could give her.
Coming from you?
Wasn't that always your plan B?
And I was always
drunk. And guilty. What?
No one's ever gone to jail
for a crime they didn't commit?
I got to do something.
But not something that makes you
an accessory to a crime.
And then she's looking
over her shoulder
for the rest of her life
and you go back to prison.
Yeah, but what about... you know,
the thing you said
about... you know,
protecting your family?
Yeah, and sometimes that means
protecting them from themselves.

[ Exhales sharply ]
Yeah, Dad,
this isn't at all shady.
Dex told me about
the D.O.D. files
and how you helped her get them.
You want to know if I'm gonna
tell the department.
No. I want to understand what's
going on in your damn head.
Aren't you violating client
privilege by talking to me?
You could lose your license.
Son, you could lose your badge.
Or worse.
You have put me in a position
where I'm protecting my client
at the expense of my own son.
And this is for some girl
you barely even know.
Oh, hell.
You slept with her.
It's more than that.
Funny how you left that out.
I knew if I told you, you
wouldn't have taken the case.
You're right!
Because I have a brain
that prevents me
from doing things that will
come back to bite me in my ass.
She didn't do it.
Oh, you're more sure
of that than I am,
and I'm the one
who's gotta defend her.
It's... It's a catch-22.
Yeah, well, sometimes
there is no good choice, son,

it will be made for you.

stole this money.
TJ was involved somehow.
