Short filmTranscript
00:00:01I used to live in a quiet, convenient world of thought spirals and internal panic.
00:00:07But when the pipe in my apartment broke, suddenly all the sounds I'd been drowning out
00:00:12came bursting to the forefront.
00:00:14The suffocating boyfriend.
00:00:16The heroic neighbor who saves me from spiders.
00:00:19And evidently, the new role as his fake girlfriend.
00:00:24But what happens when an unexpected living arrangement
00:00:27turns into unexpected chemistry.
00:00:30And the walls you've built to protect yourself
00:00:33begin to crumble at the touch.
00:00:48See? I told you I looked better here, didn't I?
00:00:51Yeah, yeah, you're right.
00:00:53Of course I'm right. I know what's best for you, baby.
00:00:56Oh, that's work. Gotta go.
00:01:04Oh, okay.
00:01:06What?
00:01:08Oh, um, nothing. It's just...
00:01:10I thought you said you took the day off so you could help me move in.
00:01:14Well, you know if I don't work, then I don't get paid.
00:01:17And if I don't get paid, how am I supposed to afford those fancy dinners I take you out on?
00:01:20Right.
00:01:22Speaking of, um, as of next week we'll have been dating a whole year.
00:01:28Maybe we could do something.
00:01:30Well, we've been going out on dates for about a year.
00:01:34That's what I said.
00:01:36Well, that's not exactly what you said.
00:01:38I mean, you're not looking for anything serious, right?
00:01:41What?
00:01:43Well, I mean, I'm trying to start my business and you're waiting on a phone call from the library.
00:01:49I think that we're good as is.
00:01:52I mean, we don't have to put a label on anything.
00:01:55Right, babe?
00:01:57Yeah, right.
00:01:59Yeah.
00:02:00Okay, well, I gotta go, so I will see you later.
00:02:03Adam!
00:02:16Oh, shit.
00:02:22Perfect.
00:02:23Wonderful.
00:02:28Wonderful.
00:02:37Ah, okay.
00:02:45Ma'am, I need you to stop what you're doing and put your hands in the air.
00:02:49Hands above your head.
00:02:50What the hell?
00:02:51Ma'am, if you don't cooperate, I'm gonna be forced to grab you.
00:02:53No, no, no, wait, wait. I'm not breaking in. This is my apartment. I live here.
00:02:56Strike three.
00:02:57What are, what are you doing? Oh my God.
00:03:00I'm arresting you for breaking an internal.
00:03:02Oh my God. This is my apartment, you lunatic. I live here.
00:03:08Do you have documentation to prove that?
00:03:10Yeah, check my phone. The lease is in my email.
00:03:12Alright, we'll see about that.
00:03:15Email, huh?
00:03:17Where do I look?
00:03:18What do you mean? It's right at the top.
00:03:22Oh, would you look better?
00:03:23Yeah, okay, can you uncuff me now, please?
00:03:27For the record, credit card works better.
00:03:44Welcome home.
00:03:46Who are you?
00:03:47Jake. Apartment D.
00:03:48Nice to meet you, neighbor.
00:03:52And you are...
00:03:55Noelle.
00:03:56Pleasure, Noelle.
00:03:57Well, if you need a cup of sugar or a guy out of jail free card, you know where to find me.
00:04:02How about an apology?
00:04:04For what?
00:04:06Protecting and serving? That's kind of my job.
00:04:09Oh, so your job is being an impulsive asshole who goes around cupping innocent people?
00:04:13See you around, neighbor.
00:04:24You wish, asshole.
00:04:32Jerk.
00:04:34Who the hell does he think he is?
00:04:36No, no, no.
00:04:38I live here.
00:04:46Hi, Aunt Shelly.
00:04:48Jakey! I'm so glad you answered.
00:04:49I just wanted to check in with you.
00:04:51I miss you. It's been so long.
00:04:53I miss you too, Aunt Shelly.
00:04:55Jake, I know these past few years have been hard for you, but your parents wouldn't want you to live this way.
00:05:00You're practically a recluse at this point.
00:05:02I'm fine, Aunt Shelly. Really.
00:05:04How about I come by? I can bring this lovely woman you need to meet. She's the daughter of my friend from Swim Aerobics.
00:05:10No, uh, don't do that. I'm actually seeing someone.
00:05:14You are?
00:05:16Yeah, I didn't want to say anything. Didn't know if it was serious, but she just moved in. So, uh, no need to set me up.
00:05:24Well, I can't wait to meet her. I'll pop by sometime.
00:05:27No, don't do that. She's, uh, shy.
00:05:30Nonsense.
00:05:40Aunt Shelly, I have to go.
00:05:48What are you doing in here?
00:05:50I heard screaming. I thought you were in trouble.
00:05:51Well, it's okay for you to break in, but not me.
00:05:54Listen, I only came to help, but clearly you don't need me, so I'll just leave.
00:05:57Wait, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait. There's a spider.
00:06:06Uh, is that what all the festival's about?
00:06:11Yeah, I just can't.
00:06:14Here, I'll escort him out.
00:06:15The spider now lives in a tree outside your window.
00:06:32Thought you were gonna, um, thank you.
00:06:35Truce.
00:06:36Look, I'm sorry about earlier. Honestly, I thought you were trying to rob the place, and my training kicked in.
00:06:48Uh, yeah, truce.
00:06:49You were right, though. I was being an asshole.
00:06:50Usually, when I'm cuffing the innocent, it's consensual.
00:07:05Consensual.
00:07:10You're cute when you're flustered.
00:07:12I'm not, I'm not flustered.
00:07:16You sure about that?
00:07:24Um, I'm seeing someone.
00:07:27Congratulations.
00:07:28Okay, yeah, so stop flirting.
00:07:31Me? Flirting?
00:07:33I'm just being a friend.
00:07:35Oh, we're friends now.
00:07:36I would say so, yeah.
00:07:38I saved your ass twice in less than 24 hours.
00:07:40Oh my god, however can I repay you? You want a loan? A kidney?
00:07:44Actually...
00:07:46Seriously? That was a joke.
00:07:48Would you pretend to be my girlfriend?
00:07:50What?
00:07:52Look, um, my aunt's coming to town, and I might have accidentally told her I'm seeing someone.
00:07:59So you lied?
00:08:01Potato, patata.
00:08:04So what do you say?
00:08:06I just told you I'm seeing someone, and you're a complete stranger. Why would I do this?
00:08:09But I'm not a stranger, though. I'm your neighbor.
00:08:12You're friendly.
00:08:14Handsome.
00:08:16Charming.
00:08:18Charitable.
00:08:20Lockpicking, yeah.
00:08:24Look, you would really be doing me a solid.
00:08:27It's a long story, but my aunt is really worried about me.
00:08:30She thinks I've given up on love or whatever.
00:08:33Have you?
00:08:35Well, that's not the point.
00:08:38Look, I just want to give her peace of mind.
00:08:40All you have to do is come over for one dinner,
00:08:43tell one little white lie, and that's it.
00:08:46You're not hurting anyone.
00:08:48Please.
00:08:50You'd be making a really wonderful woman very happy.
00:08:53She's like a second mother to me.
00:08:56I don't want to disappoint her.
00:08:58One dinner?
00:09:00One dinner.
00:09:04Fine.
00:09:06Great.
00:09:07Here.
00:09:11Am I interrupting something?
00:09:17I don't know.
00:09:19No, this is my neighbor, Jake.
00:09:22Yeah, he was helping me with a spider.
00:09:25Babe, I told you a million times, just kill it.
00:09:28If you need help, you can call me.
00:09:32Right.
00:09:34Well, I should probably go.
00:09:38That's a good idea, Jake.
00:09:39I'll see you later, Noah.
00:09:45I'll see you later, Noah.
00:09:46Hey, Taylor.
00:09:47Reynolds.
00:09:48I'm Reynolds today.
00:09:49Why so formal?
00:09:50I reviewed your closing numbers and they're not where they should be.
00:09:51We need you getting through more cases per month.
00:09:53I'm working as fast as I can, boss.
00:09:56I'm not.
00:09:58I'm going to be friends.
00:09:59I'm not.
00:10:00I'm not.
00:10:02I don't know.
00:10:03Okay.
00:10:05Hey, Taylor.
00:10:06Reynolds?
00:10:08Reynolds?
00:10:09Reynolds today.
00:10:11Why so formal?
00:10:13Why so formal I
00:10:15Reviewed your closing numbers and they're not where they should be. We need you getting through more cases per month
00:10:19I'm working as fast as I can boss. No
00:10:23You're fixating all your time on this robbery case and the chief told you to lay off it
00:10:29It's not just one rabbit case
00:10:31There's a string of them, and I'm sure they're all connected and proving that would make you feel like the big hero
00:10:36It's not about my damn ego Taylor. It's about justice. Well, I can't run a department that doesn't meet quota
00:10:41Are you sure you're not singling me out for any particular reason excuse me are you implying something officer Reynolds?
00:10:53Implying anything at all
00:10:57That's what I thought now get back to work
00:11:11Oh
00:11:17My god, Jake I'm so sorry, you know this building has gotten a lot more interesting since you moved in
00:11:23Are you okay? I'm fine seriously. I'm fine
00:11:29Um I can get the coffee out
00:11:31Don't worry about it. No, please please let me help. I'm really sorry. Just
00:11:37Yeah, come to my apartment. It'll just take a few minutes
00:11:42Whatever you say
00:11:52You know I can just bring this over to you after if you want to you know
00:11:57Changed I miss the magic you're working. I don't think so
00:12:01It's just baking soda, white vinegar and water works every time
00:12:09You're gonna dry cleaners or something
00:12:12No
00:12:14I work in a bookstore
00:12:16You know the one down on Main Street
00:12:18How do you like it?
00:12:20Uh, it's not exactly my dream, but
00:12:23It's close I guess. What's the dream?
00:12:26I just got my M.L.I.S. Degree to be a librarian
00:12:33You want to be an archivist?
00:12:35Research how to print children's books at a university library
00:12:39Specific
00:12:43How do you get a job like that?
00:12:45Turns out it's not easy
00:12:47Hence the bookstore
00:12:49You have a change of mind about careers. You have an excellent future and stay in your mobile
00:13:01You're flirting again
00:13:04Can a friend compliment another friend
00:13:14I think that's your door
00:13:16Hey, are you home?
00:13:20I should go
00:13:25Thanks again
00:13:27What are you doing here?
00:13:45What are you doing here?
00:13:46Where were you?
00:13:47Why are you shirtless?
00:13:49Don't worry about it
00:13:49What are you doing here?
00:13:50I wanted to apologize for earlier
00:13:52I know you had a rough day
00:13:53And like I said, I can't keep you on that robbery case without the chief's permission.
00:13:59But maybe I can help take your mind off of it, you know, the way I used to.
00:14:07Taylor, we can't do this.
00:14:10Sure we can.
00:14:11We have.
00:14:12Many times.
00:14:23Nothing's changed.
00:14:27We tried.
00:14:30You're not right for each other.
00:14:32I can't give you what you want.
00:14:34You don't want me?
00:14:36I don't know what I want, Taylor.
00:14:40I never do.
00:14:44You're an asshole.
00:14:46I'm just being honest.
00:14:47Those are not mutually exclusive traits.
00:14:49You know, you can't close yourself off forever, Jake.
00:14:52One of these days, you're going to wake up and realize just how lonely you are.
00:14:57Look, Taylor, I'm sorry.
00:14:59I really am.
00:15:01I hope we can still be professional about all this.
00:15:04Look, I know you don't want a relationship, Jake Reynolds.
00:15:07But I will be the girl that changes your mind.
00:15:10Just you watch.
00:15:22Hello, Mr. Saunders.
00:15:36Noel, I need you to dust the top of the bookshelves today.
00:15:39Yes, sir.
00:15:43What an excellent use of my time and talent.
00:15:46Oh.
00:16:00Hi.
00:16:02Sorry.
00:16:03I just meant to take my over shirt off.
00:16:06Um, would you mind putting me in the direction of-
00:16:09Health and fitness?
00:16:11Back right.
00:16:11I was actually looking for Toni Morrison.
00:16:18But, uh, it's good to know.
00:16:20I come off as totally insufferable.
00:16:22Oh, my God.
00:16:23I am so sorry.
00:16:24I-I assumed.
00:16:26Has anyone ever told you not to judge a book by its cover?
00:16:31Uh, Toni Morrison is right there.
00:16:36I appreciate it.
00:16:38I'll go this way.
00:16:39Oh, oh, sorry.
00:16:39Okay.
00:16:43Hey, what's up, babe?
00:16:45I got the book that she wanted.
00:16:48All right.
00:16:48Hello?
00:17:18Hey.
00:17:18Hey, hey, sorry, I know you're at work, but, um, I just heard from the university.
00:17:23I'm sorry, Noel. I can't talk right now. I'm busy.
00:17:26Right, yeah, um, okay, but maybe we could, like, get a drink after work or something.
00:17:31I think it's gonna be a late night.
00:17:33Brain check?
00:17:38My God, I'm definitely getting a drink.
00:17:43Oh, fuck.
00:17:44Hey, what the hell is it like?
00:17:55Oh, fuck.
00:17:57Hi.
00:17:58Okay.
00:18:06Seriously.
00:18:09Oh, come on.
00:18:14Oh, well?
00:18:26Why are you in my apartment?
00:18:32I'm trying to break in again.
00:18:34Actually, this is my apartment.
00:18:37Because I'm really tired.
00:18:38I cannot entertain right now.
00:18:40I know.
00:18:40We're gonna get you home.
00:18:41I am home.
00:18:43Not quite.
00:18:45Can I take it to your place?
00:18:50You smell good.
00:18:53Thanks.
00:18:55Come on, let's go.
00:18:56Oh, where are you going?
00:18:57Oh, I got you.
00:18:59Oh, my God.
00:19:01You're really strong.
00:19:02I try.
00:19:03Noelle, this is my apartment.
00:19:15You can stay here tonight, though.
00:19:19I'm a hero.
00:19:21Okay.
00:19:22Okay.
00:19:23Okay.
00:19:25None of that.
00:19:27You don't want to kiss me?
00:19:29You don't like me?
00:19:30I do want to kiss you.
00:19:35Hmm?
00:19:37But not right now.
00:19:39Why not?
00:19:41Well, because you're extremely drunk.
00:19:44And also, you have a boyfriend.
00:19:47I don't have a boyfriend.
00:19:50Boys don't boyfriend me.
00:19:53What about that guy I met?
00:19:54We don't think about it.
00:20:12Good night, Noah.
00:20:13We just fall into each other's arms.
00:20:20Oh, no.
00:20:27Oh, no.
00:20:28No, no, no, no, no.
00:20:44Shh.
00:20:45Shh.
00:20:48Shh.
00:20:48Shh.
00:20:49Shh.
00:20:49Shh.
00:20:49Shh.
00:20:50Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:21:20You've been really doing some great work.
00:21:33You should be proud.
00:21:34Keep it up.
00:21:35Damn it.
00:21:38What's got you so worked up?
00:21:39Uh, nothing.
00:21:41It's nothing.
00:21:42Seriously, Jake, that case wasn't assigned to you.
00:21:45There's another robbery on Main Street.
00:21:46They've got to be connected, Taylor.
00:21:47They've got to be connected, Taylor.
00:21:50Let me take a look.
00:21:58Did you check for prints on that banister?
00:22:00No, just the front door.
00:22:01I mean, they might match the ones from last week.
00:22:03Could catch, Taylor.
00:22:06I'll get someone around the prints.
00:22:08I'll do it.
00:22:10I'll do it.
00:22:11I'll do it.
00:22:12You get back to your caseload.
00:22:14Is this punishment for the other night?
00:22:17Punishment?
00:22:17We'll be reporting you to the chief.
00:22:19Now get back to work, Reynolds.
00:22:21You're assigned work.
00:22:24Who is it?
00:22:37It's me.
00:22:38Come on in.
00:22:40Um, hey.
00:22:43Hey.
00:22:44How you feeling?
00:22:45Uh, so I'm just coming by to say that, um, I'm sorry about last night.
00:22:52Don't worry about it.
00:22:54Um, yeah, I'm honestly not sure how I even got into your apartment, but, um, thank you
00:22:59for letting me sleep on your couch.
00:23:01Anytime.
00:23:02For the record, I did try to get you back to your own apartment.
00:23:06Oh, my God.
00:23:07That was a mess.
00:23:08You should have thrown me out.
00:23:11Actually, you were kind of cute.
00:23:16No.
00:23:17Oh, God.
00:23:18No way.
00:23:19No.
00:23:20So, you don't remember anything?
00:23:23No.
00:23:24No.
00:23:25Oh, God.
00:23:26Isn't that embarrassing?
00:23:27Okay, so, um, I'm gonna retreat to my apartment in shame now.
00:23:30Bye.
00:23:31Hey, I'm making burgers.
00:23:32Want one?
00:23:33Really?
00:23:34They're good hangover food.
00:23:38Mmm.
00:23:39Mmm.
00:23:40Yeah, that's amazing.
00:23:41It tastes just like the ones my mom used to make when I was a kid.
00:23:45Is she a good cook?
00:23:46Yeah, she was.
00:23:47I'm sorry.
00:23:48Oh, it's okay.
00:23:49Oh, it's okay.
00:23:50I mean, she passed about ten years ago, but before she got sick, she loved cooking burgers.
00:23:55Yes, but she also made this pound cake and put this amazing fruit compote on it.
00:23:56Yeah.
00:23:57I'm sorry.
00:23:58I'm sorry.
00:23:59I tend to ramble, as you've probably noticed.
00:24:00I'm just impressed you can talk about all this.
00:24:01It was a long time ago.
00:24:02Took a while, but, um, I'm sorry.
00:24:03I'm sorry.
00:24:04I'm sorry.
00:24:05I'm sorry.
00:24:06I mean, she passed about ten years ago, but before she got sick, she loved cooking burgers,
00:24:11yes, but she also made this pound cake and put this amazing fruit compote on it.
00:24:16Yeah.
00:24:17I'm sorry.
00:24:19I tend to ramble, as you've probably noticed.
00:24:22I'm just impressed you can talk about all this.
00:24:25That was a long time ago.
00:24:28Took a while, but, um, no, I like talking about her.
00:24:34Makes me feel like she's still here.
00:24:40I, um, lost both of my parents, as well.
00:24:45Both of them?
00:24:47Yeah, I don't talk about it much.
00:24:51You can tell me, if you want.
00:24:56It's, uh, kind of a heavy story.
00:25:02Hey, it's alright.
00:25:05Um, thanks for, thanks for cooking.
00:25:11In time.
00:25:13Um, would your, um, would your pretty friend be okay with us having dinner?
00:25:19I didn't realize you met Taylor.
00:25:20Mm.
00:25:21Yeah, I know.
00:25:22I saw her in the hallway the other day.
00:25:23Um, she's beautiful.
00:25:24Yeah.
00:25:25Uh, is she your, is she your girlfriend?
00:25:26No, she isn't my girlfriend.
00:25:27We just work together.
00:25:28Mm.
00:25:29Okay.
00:25:30Mm, okay.
00:25:31We were friends with benefits.
00:25:32But that was a long time ago.
00:25:33Mm.
00:25:34Yeah.
00:25:35We were friends with benefits.
00:25:36But that was a long time ago.
00:25:37Mm.
00:25:38Yeah, I know.
00:25:39I saw her in the hallway the other day.
00:25:41Um, she's beautiful.
00:25:42Yeah.
00:25:43Uh, she's your, is she your girlfriend?
00:25:46No, she isn't my girlfriend.
00:25:48Mm.
00:25:49We just work together.
00:25:50Mm, okay.
00:25:52We were friends with benefits, but that was a long time ago.
00:26:07What about your guy friend?
00:26:09Oh, Adam?
00:26:11I gotta say, I don't love the way he speaks to you.
00:26:15Is he always so...
00:26:17Protective?
00:26:18I was gonna say, controlling.
00:26:21Especially for someone who isn't your boyfriend.
00:26:27Yeah.
00:26:28It's complicated.
00:26:35What was that?
00:26:41First pipe!
00:26:42Oh my god!
00:26:43Get some towels!
00:26:45Yeah, it was crazy.
00:26:47The super says there won't be water or power for, like, at least a week.
00:26:50Maybe two.
00:26:51Jeez, that sucks.
00:26:53Do you need a place to stay?
00:26:54Yeah, yeah, that would be great, Adam.
00:26:57A buddy of mine from work, he has a guest house.
00:26:59I'll give you his contact info.
00:27:02Right, right.
00:27:03Thanks.
00:27:04Of course, babe.
00:27:05I told you you could call me anytime you need help.
00:27:07I soaked up most of the water, but they're gonna need to completely rip out most of your plumbing.
00:27:21Can't get your break, huh?
00:27:24Do you have some place to go?
00:27:25Yeah, no, I'll figure it out.
00:27:28Um, don't, don't worry about me.
00:27:30I'm definitely gonna worry about you.
00:27:31You can't stay here.
00:27:32No, no, I'll be fine.
00:27:34Look, I don't wanna be weird, but I have a second bedroom.
00:27:39Do you wanna stay with me?
00:27:41R-really?
00:27:43What are friends for?
00:27:50Here we are.
00:27:53I really hope I'm not imposing.
00:27:56Not at all.
00:27:57Seriously.
00:27:58Make yourself a note.
00:27:59The place is all yours.
00:28:00Bathroom's right down the hall.
00:28:03Do you have everything you need?
00:28:07Yes.
00:28:09I can't believe you're coming to my rescue yet again.
00:28:25Good night, Mom.
00:28:28Good night, Mom.
00:28:29Good night, Jake.
00:28:30Oh, sorry.
00:28:40I thought you were sleeping.
00:28:41All good.
00:28:42Need anything?
00:28:43Oh yeah, I just wanted a glass of water.
00:28:47Want a beer, too?
00:28:50Eh, why not?
00:29:01What are you reading?
00:29:06Case files.
00:29:07It's been a string of burglaries.
00:29:09Hopper House.
00:29:11That's what we call it when a burglary happens when the home or business is occupied.
00:29:15This one actually happened at a clothing store on Main Street.
00:29:19Not too far away from where you work.
00:29:20Oh, geez.
00:29:21I really want to catch this guy before someone gets hurt.
00:29:26What are you going to do if you catch him?
00:29:29In the act, I mean.
00:29:31In the act?
00:29:34Here.
00:29:35Let me show you.
00:29:38Okay.
00:29:39If you're being attacked, the first thing you need to do is stay calm.
00:29:46Now, let's say your attacker has a gun.
00:29:52In that situation,
00:29:57you're going to want to do two things.
00:30:01First thing, 20, and then get them all balanced.
00:30:05Good.
00:30:10That was really good.
00:30:11Yeah?
00:30:12Yeah.
00:30:13You're a quick learner.
00:30:15Oh, you're a good teacher.
00:30:19Sorry, I'm probably, um, crushing you.
00:30:22I don't mind.
00:30:26Right.
00:30:27Right.
00:30:28Mr. Complicator.
00:30:29Mr. Complicator.
00:30:35Yes, thank you for the lesson.
00:30:37It's good.
00:30:38Okay, weirdo.
00:30:41You want another beer?
00:30:43Oh.
00:30:45No, I'm pretty tired.
00:30:46I think I'm going to go read a book in bed.
00:30:49Sure.
00:30:50Okay.
00:30:51Goodbye.
00:30:52Goodnight.
00:30:59Gigi.
00:31:00Aunt Shelly.
00:31:01What are you doing here?
00:31:02I told you I'd pop by.
00:31:04You must be the girlfriend.
00:31:06Oh.
00:31:07That's me.
00:31:08Oh, I'm so happy to meet you.
00:31:09I thought my nephew was going to be alone forever.
00:31:12All right, Aunt Shelly.
00:31:13Let her breathe.
00:31:14Of course, of course.
00:31:15Silly me.
00:31:16Um, Oh, please, Aunt Shelly, take a seat.
00:31:18Can I get you a cup of coffee?
00:31:19Yes, please, dear.
00:31:20Okay.
00:31:22Hopefully your lovely girlfriend's manners will rub off on you young man.
00:31:23Ah, believe me, I'm working on it.
00:31:25I like her already.
00:31:26Let her breathe.
00:31:27Of course, of course.
00:31:28Silly me.
00:31:29Oh.
00:31:30Please, Aunt Shelley, take a seat.
00:31:32Can I get you a cup of coffee?
00:31:33Yes, please do.
00:31:35OK.
00:31:36Hopefully your lovely girlfriend's manners will rub off on you, young man.
00:31:39Oh, believe me.
00:31:40I'm working on it.
00:31:41I like her already.
00:31:51So, Noelle, I want to know everything.
00:31:54What do you do, sweetie?
00:31:55Um, I work in a bookstore.
00:31:57Oh.
00:31:58Don't be modest, babe.
00:31:59She has her MLS degree.
00:32:00That's so impressive.
00:32:02I'm looking for jobs at university libraries.
00:32:05I want to make a real contribution to my field.
00:32:07Ever since my favorite book went out of print when I was a kid,
00:32:10I've just been obsessed with researching and archiving.
00:32:13You don't have to explain it to me.
00:32:14Practically the whole family's in academia.
00:32:17You should have seen Jake's parents' library.
00:32:20It was enormous.
00:32:21Oh, what was the book called?
00:32:23The Runaway Sardine.
00:32:24I've been looking for it for a long time, but it's impossible to find.
00:32:27Oh, I love that book.
00:32:28I used to read it to Liam Oliver all the time when he was growing up.
00:32:32Oh, that's Jake's cousin.
00:32:34My son.
00:32:35You'll meet him at the wedding.
00:32:36Wedding?
00:32:39Jake!
00:32:40You didn't tell her about the wedding?
00:32:41Okay.
00:32:42Well, this has been a very nice visit, but we have to go to work, so...
00:32:47Oh, of course.
00:32:48I'll see you after then.
00:32:49We can do dinner.
00:32:50What do you mean?
00:32:52Well, obviously I'm staying over.
00:32:54I came all this way.
00:32:56I'm going to stay a few nights with my nephew.
00:32:58Oh, don't worry.
00:32:59I won't crown you, lovebirds.
00:33:01This is fine, right?
00:33:14Yeah.
00:33:15Uh...
00:33:16She needs the spare bedroom, so...
00:33:21We can make a barrier.
00:33:25Great.
00:33:26Yeah.
00:33:27Great, yeah.
00:33:53So you think we convinced her?
00:33:55Yeah, definitely.
00:33:57Very lucky you.
00:33:58Didn't even have to kiss me.
00:34:01Wasn't so bad the last time.
00:34:03Last time?
00:34:17This is okay, right?
00:34:18No, no, no, it's not.
00:34:24Just hold on.
00:34:41Um, I really like you.
00:34:46It's, um, it's just that-
00:34:48Oh my god.
00:34:48No, I'm not rejecting you.
00:34:50I'm not.
00:34:50I like you a lot.
00:34:54You're smart, you're funny, and I'm really attracted to you.
00:34:58It's just-
00:34:58It's just that, uh, I got a lot of complicated going on right now.
00:35:04And I don't want to mislead you.
00:35:08So I just want to be clear.
00:35:10If you're looking for something casual, I'm your guy, but-
00:35:13I can't give you anything else.
00:35:17Fuck.
00:35:22Why does this always happen?
00:35:29What?
00:35:32Men like me enough to want to be with me, but never to commit to me.
00:35:36No, that's not it.
00:35:37I swear.
00:35:37Oh, let me guess.
00:35:39It's not you, it's me.
00:35:42Yeah, they always say that, too.
00:35:51Good night, Jake.
00:36:04Detective Reynolds.
00:36:05I hate to admit it, but you might be right.
00:36:09What happened?
00:36:10There was another hit in a shop on Main Street.
00:36:11They robbed the shop and then went up to the owner's apartment.
00:36:14God damn it.
00:36:15With no injuries or fatalities, the owner was just shaken up, that's all.
00:36:19We've got to stop this asshole.
00:36:20I'll keep an eye on it for today.
00:36:22I need you to show face at Smith's fundraiser.
00:36:25I'm supposed to stop good police work to appease some politician?
00:36:28You're so naive.
00:36:29This is how the world works.
00:36:31I'm not naive.
00:36:31I have ethics.
00:36:33Jake, I'm your superior.
00:36:36So if you know what's good for you, you'll shut your mouth and do your job.
00:36:40I'm sorry that Jake isn't here.
00:36:45Oh, I'm not surprised.
00:36:47He works too hard.
00:36:48Weeks will go by and I won't hear from him.
00:36:51That's why I had to ambush him this weekend.
00:36:55What's he working on?
00:36:57There's been a series of robberies.
00:37:00Hot prowls, he calls them.
00:37:01Oh no, no wonder he's so obsessed.
00:37:05What do you mean?
00:37:06Did he tell you about his parents?
00:37:09He told me that they died.
00:37:14Someone broke into their home while they were asleep.
00:37:17My brother and his wife tried to stop them.
00:37:24Jake was the one that found them.
00:37:27Blood everywhere.
00:37:30He called 911.
00:37:33His poor parents never came back from the hospital.
00:37:38That's horrible.
00:37:39It was really tough on all of us, but especially Jake.
00:37:43I was so worried when he wanted to join the police force.
00:37:45It's such a dangerous job and there's a tendency to fixate.
00:37:51He's been through so much.
00:37:53Yeah.
00:37:55I'm just happy that he has you now.
00:37:58I was concerned that no one would understand him.
00:38:02He would avoid real relationships because of what happened.
00:38:08Now, what do you say we take a trip to the station and see our boy?
00:38:12Oh, I don't want to disturb him.
00:38:14You're his girlfriend.
00:38:15Of course he wants to see you.
00:38:17Um, you know, I've got some work I've got to take care of at the bookstore, but I can take you if you'd like.
00:38:22Oh, thank you, sweetie.
00:38:26Jensen.
00:38:28Could you pull up the file for me on the stolen semi-trucks, please?
00:38:31Oh, hello, Taylor.
00:38:33I'm sure you remember me from the office Christmas party last year.
00:38:36I'm Jake's Aunt Shelley.
00:38:37Of course I remember you.
00:38:39Hi.
00:38:40Aunt Shelley.
00:38:41What are you doing here?
00:38:43Oh, thought I'd come say hi on your lunch break.
00:38:46Noelle dropped me off.
00:38:47I love your girlfriend, Jakey.
00:38:49Yeah.
00:38:53Girlfriend, huh?
00:38:55You haven't met her yet?
00:38:59I haven't had the pleasure.
00:39:00Another rejection, of course.
00:39:09Hey, stranger!
00:39:11Adam!
00:39:12Hi.
00:39:13What do you think?
00:39:15Oh, yeah, they're beautiful.
00:39:17I know you've had a tough week.
00:39:19Figured you could use some cheering up.
00:39:21Thanks, Adam.
00:39:23My buddy said that you never reached out to him about the guest house.
00:39:26Oh, right, yeah.
00:39:28Um, I figured something out.
00:39:31Oh, yeah?
00:39:32Where have you been staying?
00:39:33Uh, with Jake.
00:39:36Jake?
00:39:38Your neighbor Jake?
00:39:40Yeah, is that a problem?
00:39:42Are you serious?
00:39:43You're staying at another man's house while we're dating?
00:39:45Oh, sorry.
00:39:48Um, if I remember correctly, we're not dating.
00:39:52We're just going on dates, right?
00:39:54Noelle, see that's...
00:39:55No, no, you know what?
00:39:58I am done dealing with emotionally unavailable men.
00:40:02You can't give me what I want.
00:40:04And he can?
00:40:04No.
00:40:06No, but at least he's honest about it.
00:40:15Oh, I'm sorry.
00:40:28Oh, it's okay.
00:40:30All yours.
00:40:32Wait.
00:40:32I'm sorry about last night.
00:40:37It's okay.
00:40:38Really?
00:40:39Really.
00:40:41Helped me realize something, actually.
00:40:43What do you mean?
00:40:44You were right.
00:40:46I want a real relationship, and Adam was never going to give that to me, no matter how long
00:40:51I stuck around.
00:40:53You saw him today.
00:40:54Yeah, I ended things.
00:41:01How are you feeling?
00:41:03Honestly?
00:41:07Amazing.
00:41:18What a cute little star.
00:41:20Oh, hello.
00:41:24Noelle, right?
00:41:25I'm Taylor.
00:41:26Yes, yes.
00:41:27Hi, hi, Taylor.
00:41:29It's nice to meet you.
00:41:30Can I help you find anything?
00:41:33I've been wanting to read this forever.
00:41:36Oh, good choice.
00:41:39I saw Jake's Aunt Shelly at the station yesterday.
00:41:43Tell me why she called you Jake's girlfriend.
00:41:46Oh, um, maybe you should ask Jake that question.
00:41:51I did ask him, and he avoided the question.
00:41:53Kind of like you're doing right now.
00:41:54I'm not avoiding anything.
00:42:00Sorry, I don't think I feel comfortable talking about this with you.
00:42:03Your last name's Harper, right?
00:42:05How did you know that?
00:42:07I'm a police officer.
00:42:08I have resources.
00:42:10Oh, so you use taxpayer money to look into me?
00:42:13Perks of the job.
00:42:14Besides, you're moving in on one of my officers.
00:42:18I mean, it's only been a matter of weeks,
00:42:20and you're suddenly so friendly with his aunt and calling a friend.
00:42:25Are you stalking Jake Reynolds, Noelle?
00:42:27Of course not.
00:42:28No, everything just sort of happened this way.
00:42:30Well, maybe you have a history of criminal activity,
00:42:32because I believe I received a report from another precinct
00:42:36about a Noelle Harper who was accused of embezzling from her previous job.
00:42:41Should I let your boss know about that?
00:42:43That's ridiculous.
00:42:44You can't just go making things up.
00:42:47Really?
00:42:48Is that your boss's office?
00:42:50Wait, why?
00:42:51Why?
00:43:00Noelle?
00:43:02What's wrong?
00:43:02Taylor came into the bookstore today.
00:43:05She accused me of stalking you.
00:43:08Yeah, she was acting like she was your girlfriend,
00:43:10and that I was trying to get between you,
00:43:11and she got me fired.
00:43:15How?
00:43:16She pulled out her badge.
00:43:18She made up a story about a Noelle Harper
00:43:20who got in trouble for embezzling,
00:43:21and my boss believed her.
00:43:23I'll go down there, and I'll clear all this up.
00:43:26No, don't bother.
00:43:27I mean, he was looking for a reason to fire me anyways.
00:43:30I haven't heard back from any of the libraries,
00:43:32and I don't know.
00:43:35I think I might just have to move back home with my dad for a while.
00:43:38No, Noelle.
00:43:39You can stay here as long as you need.
00:43:41You really are a great friend, Jake.
00:43:48Friend?
00:43:49Yeah.
00:43:51Happy to help.
00:44:00Good morning.
00:44:01Morning.
00:44:04Oh, morning, Jakey.
00:44:05Good news for you lovebirds.
00:44:07I'm heading home on Friday.
00:44:08I know.
00:44:09It's devastating to you both.
00:44:11It is.
00:44:12We'll miss having you around.
00:44:13Aw, and I you, sweetheart.
00:44:15Well, thank goodness I'll see you both at the wedding soon enough.
00:44:18You're still going to come, right, darling?
00:44:22What do you say?
00:44:25I'll be there.
00:44:27Great.
00:44:28It's a date, then.
00:44:34Reynolds.
00:44:38A word.
00:44:41Don't start with me today, Officer Walters.
00:44:51Is that really a way to talk to your superior?
00:44:54Just leave me alone.
00:44:56Please.
00:44:56The robbery case file went missing from my desk.
00:44:58You wouldn't have anything to do with that, would you?
00:45:00You didn't run the prints like you said you were going to.
00:45:02Yeah, it's on my to-do list.
00:45:04Well, while you make your way very slowly through that to-do list, there's a criminal on the loose.
00:45:09If someone gets hurt, their blood is on your hands.
00:45:12Bullshit.
00:45:13Bullshit?
00:45:13You want to know what's bullshit?
00:45:15You're getting Noelle fired.
00:45:16I don't know what she told you, but she got herself fired.
00:45:21You abused police resources.
00:45:24I can't help Taylor.
00:45:27What is she to you anyway, hmm?
00:45:30She's my...
00:45:32friend.
00:45:34Liar.
00:45:35You did want a relationship.
00:45:38Just not with me.
00:45:39Holy shit.
00:46:00What, is it too much?
00:46:01I was thinking about wearing this to the wedding.
00:46:04No, you look incredible.
00:46:08But can you dance in those?
00:46:09My family's really big on dancing.
00:46:14They're never going to believe it's true love unless they see us dancing together.
00:46:18Okay, but your family's not here.
00:46:20Your Aunt Shelly's at dinner with a friend.
00:46:22I know that, but we could probably use some practice.
00:46:29Just humor me.
00:46:37What's wrong?
00:46:38Nothing.
00:46:39I had a rough day at work.
00:46:46Want to talk about it?
00:46:48No.
00:46:50I don't know how much I need you.
00:46:53Cause you're my home away from home, away from home, away from being alone.
00:47:02I did the same just for you.
00:47:11Just for you.
00:47:11You don't know how much I love you.
00:47:13I love you.
00:47:13You don't know how much I love you.
00:47:17Why don't you?
00:47:21Cause I did the same just for you
00:47:27You don't know how much I love you
00:47:31Yeah?
00:47:35Really?
00:47:37I guess you're right
00:47:42I know this was a bad idea, it was...
00:47:45Jake...
00:47:47Jake, you're a great guy
00:47:49Like, the best
00:47:51But...
00:47:53You taught me not to settle for anything less than what I want
00:47:55Right?
00:47:57And like you said, you can't give me what I want
00:48:01I'm sorry, I can't do this again
00:48:03I can't keep letting other people dictate my love life
00:48:07I think after the wedding we should take some time apart
00:48:11I think I need some space
00:48:13I need some space
00:48:31Jakey? What's wrong?
00:48:33Trouble in paradise?
00:48:35You can say that
00:48:37I'm sure whatever it is, you two will figure things out
00:48:41I mean, you clearly love each other
00:48:43Aunt Shelley...
00:48:45Noelle and I aren't dating
00:48:47What are you talking about? Of course you are
00:48:49We're just pretending
00:48:51I didn't want you to set me up, so I lied
00:48:55It was just my neighbor
00:48:57It was just my neighbor
00:48:59Convinced her to help me
00:49:01But...
00:49:03I'm sorry
00:49:05I fucked everything up
00:49:07Look...
00:49:09I don't know what happened, honey
00:49:13And I'm sorry if I put any pressure on you
00:49:15But...
00:49:16Maybe there's something there
00:49:17I mean, the connection between you two is undeniable
00:49:20It doesn't matter, I can't give her what she wants
00:49:23Jake...
00:49:25It's okay to be vulnerable with another person
00:49:29I know how much it hurt you to lose the people you love
00:49:33But that's not a reason to stop loving
00:49:41It's too late
00:49:49You can cancel that plus one
00:49:59I'm told Aunt Shelley
00:50:09What?
00:50:10You don't have to come to the wedding
00:50:12No, Jake, you didn't have to do that
00:50:14It's better this way
00:50:16Pretending to be in a relationship with you is...
00:50:19Confusing
00:50:21Because I...
00:50:23I want...
00:50:26What?
00:50:29What, Jake?
00:50:30What...
00:50:31What do you want?
00:50:32I don't know
00:50:33Okay?
00:50:38You know what I think?
00:50:40I think you want to have your cake and eat it too
00:50:43I think you want everything that comes with a relationship
00:50:46But you don't want a relationship
00:50:49Jake, I know you have feelings for me
00:50:52And if you're too scared to admit it, then yeah
00:50:55Maybe you're right
00:50:56Maybe it is better this way
00:50:57Come on
00:51:08Aunt Shelley, I'm so sorry
00:51:09Stop there
00:51:10No
00:51:11We never should have lied to you
00:51:12Shh!
00:51:13Look at me
00:51:14I know for a fact my Jakey cares about you very much
00:51:17It's just...
00:51:18He's still dealing with his grief
00:51:20The aunt in me wants you to wait for him to wake the fuck up
00:51:23Pardon my French
00:51:26But...
00:51:27It's not fair for you to be collateral damage
00:51:31You have a beautiful heart
00:51:33And I want you to protect it
00:51:36Oh, come here, sweetheart
00:51:40Shh
00:51:41No matter what
00:51:45I'm always Aunt Shelley to you, okay?
00:51:48Thank you
00:51:49Oh
00:51:50Oh
00:51:51Hello, Mr. Saunders
00:51:59Need to talk about getting my job back
00:52:02Stand up
00:52:12Stand up
00:52:13One sec
00:52:17Stand up
00:52:19Slowly
00:52:21Oh my god
00:52:22Don't go and try and do anything funny
00:52:25What?
00:52:27Don't go and try anything funny
00:52:30Sorry?
00:52:32Don't try anything funny
00:52:40What do you want?
00:52:41I-I-I don't have a key to the safe
00:52:43Oh, please
00:52:44Put your hands in the air
00:52:45Don't even work here
00:52:46I'm no one
00:52:47Hands up
00:52:48Okay, okay, okay
00:52:49Okay
00:52:50I'm...
00:52:51I'm just gonna...
00:52:52I'm just gonna put my bag down
00:52:54Hurry up, baby
00:53:00Okay, come on, come on
00:53:01Move
00:53:02Hurry up
00:53:05Hurry up
00:53:06Show me where that key is
00:53:07You could just let us all go
00:53:09Please, you don't have to do this
00:53:10Give me the key
00:53:11Or choose
00:53:12The hostage
00:53:22I'm gonna check it out
00:53:25Hey, what's going on?
00:53:26Silent alarm at the bookstore on Main Street

00:55:25Alright, keep your hands up
00:55:26Keep your hands up

00:55:33You're desperate
00:55:34No, no, no, you stay back
00:55:35Just let her go
00:55:37You and I can figure this out together, alright?
00:55:39You don't even know anything about me
00:55:41Or what I want
00:55:44You see, she's my ticket out of here
00:55:48Aren't you, aren't you, sweetheart?
00:55:52And you
00:55:55I don't need you
00:56:18You asshole!
00:56:19You think you can paint whatever you want?
00:56:20You think it doesn't matter if you hurt people?
00:56:21Jake!
00:56:22Jake!
00:56:23Stop!
00:56:24Please!
00:56:25It's okay, it's okay, he's down
00:56:26It's okay
00:56:27It's okay
00:56:28Jake!
00:56:29Jake!
00:56:30Jake!
00:56:31Stop!
00:56:32Please!
00:56:33It's okay, it's okay
00:56:34He's down
00:56:35It's okay
00:56:36Jake!
00:56:37Jake!
00:56:38Jake!
00:56:39Jake!
00:56:40Jake!
00:56:41Jake!
00:56:42Jake!
00:56:43Jake!
00:56:44Jake!
00:56:45Jake!
00:56:46Jake!
00:56:47Jake!
00:56:49Jake!
00:56:50It's okay
00:56:51It's okay
00:56:52It's okay
00:56:53Thank you
00:56:55Thank you
00:56:57Noelle, can you hear me?
00:57:27You're under arrest, you have the right to remain silent.
00:57:46Anything you say can and will be used against you in court of law.
00:57:49You have the right to an attorney.
00:57:51Get off me!
00:57:57Noelle Hart for possible head injury.
00:58:18Please be careful with her.
00:58:20It's heavy just breathing through this debate.
00:58:29A starter.
00:58:32Come on, start a riot.
00:58:36When they love you, don't much know is fame, fake or even hate.
00:58:45Don't be scared when the weight paralyzes your state at the gate.
00:58:51Jake?
00:58:52No.
00:58:53It's me.
00:58:54Adam.
00:58:55What are you doing here?
00:58:56When I heard what happened, I rushed right over.
00:58:57How are you feeling?
00:58:58Um.
00:58:59My head hurts.
00:59:00Oh my god, wait what-
00:59:01You're lucky the bullet only grazed you and the concussion's mild.
00:59:07You'll be alright soon.
00:59:08You scared me, baby.
00:59:09Adam, I-
00:59:10No, hey, it's okay.
00:59:11I'm here.
00:59:12I'm never leaving you again.
00:59:13Adam, no, this doesn't change things.
00:59:14What are you talking about?
00:59:15Of course it does!
00:59:16That prick neighbor of yours almost got you killed!
00:59:18Jake saved me!
00:59:19Well, when are you gonna understand, he doesn't care about you.
00:59:20You'll be all right soon.
00:59:22You scared me, baby.
00:59:24Adam, I...
00:59:25No, hey. It's okay.
00:59:27I'm here. I'm never leaving you again.
00:59:30Adam, no, this doesn't change things.
00:59:33What are you talking about? Of course it does.
00:59:35That prick neighbor of yours almost got you killed.
00:59:37Jake saved me.
00:59:38Well, when are you going to understand he doesn't care about you?
00:59:41Not like I do.
00:59:43He's a cop. He's just doing his job.
00:59:45And not very well either.
00:59:48Are you wasting my time?
00:59:51Forget about him.
00:59:53I want to take care of you.
00:59:57I want you to be my girlfriend.
01:00:02God, I spent a whole year hoping you'd say those words.
01:00:07So? Is that a yes?
01:00:10I told you we were done, Adam.
01:00:12And since you've never respected me, I can't say that I'm surprised you didn't hear me the first time.
01:00:17Noelle...
01:00:17No, it's over, Adam.
01:00:20Forever.
01:00:23Still, I run in hands for you.
01:00:27You feel me?
01:00:32Nothing means something with you.
01:00:36Really?
01:00:37Jakey.
01:00:38Jakey.
01:00:39Oh, my goodness.
01:00:40Your message scared me half to death.
01:00:43You okay?
01:00:44I'm fine.
01:00:44You didn't have to come.
01:00:47Of course I did.
01:00:49How's Noelle?
01:00:50Then what will you pay?
01:00:52I'm not sure.
01:00:53I haven't seen her since the ambulance took her to the hospital last night.
01:00:58Jake, you haven't gone to see her?
01:01:00I can't go back to the hospital again.
01:01:05I just can't.
01:01:07Oh, you can.
01:01:07And you will.
01:01:10I almost lost her.
01:01:13I can't go through that again.
01:01:14I know you're scared, but if you don't go, you will lose her.
01:01:20And pushing Noelle away will not bring your parents back.
01:01:26Excuse me.
01:01:27Reynolds?
01:01:29Can I speak with you?
01:01:44How fucking dare you?
01:01:46You really want to do this right now?
01:01:48Should I just fire you instead?
01:01:50Fire me?
01:01:51Are you kidding?
01:01:52You broke rank.
01:01:54You disobeyed orders.
01:01:55You ran into that bookstore with no plan and no backup.
01:01:59Tell me why I shouldn't tell all this to the chief right now and end your career.
01:02:04Don't bother.
01:02:06I quit.
01:02:10You really think you're going to get a job at any other station after I report you?
01:02:14What if I report you?
01:02:17What if I tell the chief that not only did you abuse police resources
01:02:20by letting your personal feelings about Noelle cloud your judgment,
01:02:23you also knowingly hindered an ongoing investigation by telling an officer to stand down?
01:02:30Obstruction of justice is a very serious crime, Officer Walters.
01:02:34You're bluffing.
01:02:36You would never do that.
01:02:39You want to bet?
01:02:43That's what I thought.
01:02:46Excuse me.
01:02:47Excuse me.
01:02:47Excuse me.
01:02:48Excuse me.
01:02:49Excuse me.
01:02:51Excuse me.
01:02:52Knock, knock.
01:02:58Aunt Shelly.
01:02:59Why didn't you know I was here?
01:03:01Jake told me.
01:03:04Um, where is he?
01:03:07He's working.
01:03:10Right, right.
01:03:11Of course.
01:03:12I'm sorry.
01:03:13Hospitals are hard for him.
01:03:15But I come with good news.
01:03:18What is it?
01:03:18I spoke with a friend of mine, and his school is hiring.
01:03:22They need a researcher for their librarian.
01:03:25I would love to help you get your foot in the door.
01:03:28Yes.
01:03:28No, no.
01:03:29I won't.
01:03:29I was hoping you'd say that.
01:03:31You have an interview on Monday.
01:03:33Aunt Shelly, I don't know how to thank you.
01:03:35Of course.
01:03:37You're family.
01:03:38Aunt Shelly, can I speak with Noelle Lung for a moment?
01:03:56How are you feeling?
01:03:56Okay.
01:04:01Concussed.
01:04:02Well, I got you something.
01:04:07But, maybe you should hold off because the headache wears off?
01:04:12Mm.
01:04:13No.
01:04:13Oh, my God.
01:04:27How did you...
01:04:28My parents' library.
01:04:32Aunt Shelly wasn't kidding.
01:04:33I forgot how extensive it was.
01:04:34Seriously, it takes up a whole storage unit.
01:04:39You didn't have to.
01:04:43Yes, I did.
01:04:48Noelle, I've, um...
01:04:52I've avoided my feelings.
01:04:54All my feelings.
01:04:56For...
01:04:57A very long time.
01:05:03When my parents died, I...
01:05:06I didn't know what I wanted.
01:05:10I just knew I didn't want to feel that pain again.
01:05:15I told myself I would do anything not to feel it.
01:05:19But last night...
01:05:22When I carried you out of that building...
01:05:25I felt that pain.
01:05:29Loving someone means living with the risk of losing them.
01:05:32And that scares the shit out of me.
01:05:41Masoda's the idea of living without you.
01:05:46I want to be with you, Noelle.
01:05:51I love you.
01:05:54I'm in love with you.
01:05:55So what do you say?
01:06:07Do you want to be my girlfriend?
01:06:10Oh my god.
01:06:11I have two offers in one day.
01:06:13I wish I tried getting concussed sooner.
01:06:17Two?
01:06:20Was that it me?
01:06:20What did you say to him?
01:06:30I told him to leave me alone.
01:06:33Forever.
01:06:37And what did he say to me?
01:06:41Um...
01:06:42Hmm...
01:06:42I need to think about it.
01:06:45Yeah, that's fine.
01:06:46Take your time.
01:06:49Okay, let's do it.
01:06:50Really?
01:06:53Of course, you idiot.
01:07:11I love you too, by the way.
01:07:14Knew it.
01:07:14Hey!
01:07:17So I guess you are a relationship guy after all, huh?
01:07:21Oh, Taylor's gonna be pissed.
01:07:26I quit this morning.
01:07:31What?
01:07:32No, Jake, I don't want you to have to choose between...
01:07:34I'm not.
01:07:35I became a cop because I wanted to help people.
01:07:41To protect and to serve.
01:07:45But all that department cared about was meeting quota and glad-handing donors.
01:07:49I mean, they didn't give a shit about good police work.
01:07:51So I'm gonna become a private investigator.
01:08:00Not everything's about you, you know?
01:08:02Hey, hey, hey.
01:08:05Okay, all right.
01:08:06Well, maybe it was a little bit about you.
01:08:09Being a PI is just safer.
01:08:10I want to be around for a long time.
01:08:17For the people I love.
01:08:18I'm ready to go home now.
01:08:36I already am.
01:08:40When you fall in love but it don't work out
01:08:44When you cry at least a hundred times
01:08:47And you feel so stuck but you can't get out
01:08:51Just remember
01:08:53There will come a day when it all works out
01:08:59Howdy, neighbor.
01:09:17Got you, smoker.
01:09:19Thanks.
01:09:20I showered.
01:09:21Oh, so those pipes are working well, huh?
01:09:24Yeah, better than ever.
01:09:27So you left to work?
01:09:28Yeah.
01:09:30Swing by and leaving burgers.
01:09:31Oh, yum.
01:09:33See, there are perks to dating a guy next door.
01:09:37Unless we break up.
01:09:39Then it'll get real awkward.
01:09:41You'll have to move out.
01:09:42Ah, see, the thing about that is
01:09:44I was kind of here first.
01:09:47I'm not leaving.
01:09:51Well, then I guess we should never break up.
01:09:56Deal.
01:09:57I didn't even need to drown.
01:09:58Hey, where?
01:09:59I'm not leaving.
01:09:59I didn't even need to drown.
01:10:00xem you're going to be a love here.
01:10:01Then we'll find a way if you hold on now.
01:10:02And remember, but the only way is up to fear.
01:10:05If you know we can't leave.
01:10:06And the only way is up to fear.
01:10:08Oh, oh, oh, oh.
