Where the Bears Are (2012–…): Season 2, Episode 17 - Wine and Bear - full transcript
Reggie (Rick Copp) finally agrees to a dinner date with the handsome Jeremy Richards (Mark Rowe), who has made no secret of the fact he would like more than just sex, but the home-cooked meal at Jeremy's apartment is just a ruse so Reggie can rifle through his personal belongings to uncover evidence connecting him to the Elliot Butler murder after the Bears discover he had a fight with the victim right before he was shot.
I have to admit I thought it was a little bit strange that you insisted I cook dinner for us at my place.
That seems like a third or fourth date kind of thing.
Yeah, well, like I said on the phone all the MSG and sodium in all the restaurants these days.
Nothing like a home cooked wholesome meal.
It's true. I thought it was also a little weird that you even wanted to date me.
What's changed? You didn't seem that into me at your place the other night. What happened?
Really? My God. No. No. No.
I came over here tonight to get to know you and hear all about your charity.
So how are things in the stressful world of non-profits?
Donor issues? Fund raising woes? Lawsuits, perhaps?
Well, that's kind of a funny question.
Well, it's just that I have a friend who works in non-profit
and he tells me all the time how hard it is raising money and flaky donors bowing out all the time.
It is tough. It's very stressful sometimes too. But I really love the kids. They need us.
It's nothing glamourous like writing true crime books or anything like that but I really love what I do.
Yeah. Kids are special. I get it.
Oh, hey. Your pasta's boiling over. Yeah, right over there.
All right. Almost ready.
What are you doing?
I was looking for a pen. A pen?
Yes. A pen. Because I'm going to write you a check for your charity.
I'm a giver. And I don't have my checkbook on me but I could certainly give you a five.
What are you doing going through my stuff?
Okay. Yes. I am going through your stuff.
Because I believe that you had something to do with Elliot Butler's murder.
What? Yeah. That's right.
I know for a fact that you two had a big fight the week before he died.
Something about a lawsuit?
Oh my God. I can't believe this.
Yes. Yes I was planning to sue Elliot.
He screwed me over. Big time. Big time!
He committed over a hundred grand to the charity.
We based our budgets and our programs on that money and then when it came time to pay up he pulled out!
He screwed me and he screwed the kids!
So you shot him!
Wow. That's the only reason you came here, isn't it?
My God. I am an idiot.
I am an idiot.
You don't want to date me. You want to indict me.
You have to admit it's a little suspicious.
You have a motive. You were at the party.
I left the party.
I couldn't get in to see Elliot because that English queen wouldn't let me get anywhere near him.
And then you blew me off. Thank you very much.
And then I left right after I met you.
I went and filled my car up with a tank of gas down at the bottom of the hill and then I drove straight home.
So you left the party early? Yes.
The guy you should be investigating is Elliot's ex-boyfriend.
They had a nasty break up.
Elliot said he drained him of all his money and that was another reason he wouldn't donate to my charity.
So what's the boyfriend's name?
I don't remember. He's like a casting guy. Some muscle dude.
Ivan? Ivan so and so?
Yes. Russian. Like a Russian name. Oh, Jeremy, I am so sorry. I feel horrible.
Boy, you really take this whole true crime mystery thing seriously, don't you?
You're a real Jessica Fletcher.
Oh my God. I loved that show. It was my favorite as a kid.
We are so from the same generation.
Listen, can I borrow your bathroom?
Yeah. It's right through the door.
Wood, I need you to call Detective Winters and have him check to see if Jeremy used his credit card on the day of the murder
at the Arco Station on the corner of Beachwood and Franklin.
I don't give a rat's ass that you're watching Spongebob just do it!
Wow. You never let up, do you?
What's that?
It's a credit card receipt for gas.
I write them off through work. Take a look at the date and the time.
I don't need to look at the date and the time, Jeremy. I trust you.
Look, I'm just being thorough. Jessica Fletcher would be thorough.
I get it, Detective Hatch.
Actually I think it's kind of cute. A little bit sexy too.
Just a little? A little bit.
Well, I guess now that you got what you came here for you're probably not interested in a dinner date, are you?
Are you kidding? That Chicken Artichoke Pasta smells delicious.
And there's one thing you need to know about me.
I never, ever leave a half empty bottle of wine.
That seems like a third or fourth date kind of thing.
Yeah, well, like I said on the phone all the MSG and sodium in all the restaurants these days.
Nothing like a home cooked wholesome meal.
