But a color identifier only identifies color.
And my toaster only toasts toast.

Well, my point is I need a color comparer so when I put
together an outfit and need to know if my blacks match, I can
go boop boop and it will be like, you nailed it, honey!
Why don't you just use Look-See-Loo?
Ugh. I hate it. They're all volunteers.
It's a total roll of the dice.
But you can save favorites.
Yeah, I mean, sure, I've got my girl Janine, but if she's not
available, I always wind up with this well-meaning dude
whose only fashion experience
is dressing a Grand Theft Auto avatar.
You're terrible.
All I'm saying is that losing our vision is way worse for us
goths than it's for you normies.
I'm not a normie, am I?
If you have to ask...
Ash, hold up!
Forgot your, uh...
Your
tape recorder thingy. -Oh, thank you.
Um, can you put it in my bag?
Oh yeah, sure thing.
Thank you.
So are you actually gonna make one of those soundscape songs
for the kitchen?
I'm gonna try.
Yeah, look at me, I'm a rock 'n' roll star.
Okay.
Let's go.
Dude, you gotta wear the hat.
I absolutely do not.
How's anyone gonna know that you're the Birthday Babe?
Two words: justifiable homicide.
Oh, save that talk for the office, Detective Fleischer.
Only if you stop provoking an officer, Detective Zelinskas.
Alright.
So what kind of weird foodie place are you taking us to?
I am taking us to the Blind Spot.
Okay.
It's a place where you eat in complete darkness for total
taste immersion.
Alright, it's quite the culinary experience.
I think I'd just prefer a meal.
You can go to a steakhouse at any time.
It wouldn't kill you to try something new once in a while.
Besides, you can still-
have your steak and scotch inside.
All right. -That's the spirit, babe.
Can I have the Zelenskyy party gather around over here?
Yeah, right here. -That's us.
Right. -Let's do it.
Hi everyone.
My name is Ash.
I'll be taking care of you this evening.
I'm going to start out by answering absolutely every
question you might have because I have heard them all.
Sound good?
Great, let's roll. -Yeah. Come on.
Okay, first off, yes, I am actually blind.
All of our wait staff is either blind or low vision.
I have idiopathic optic neuritis since my early 20s,
and now I can basically see if the lights are on or off, and
that's about it.
So yes, I am actually blind.
Second, yes, you will be dining in complete darkness tonight.
No, you will not be able to see anything.
I'll bring you out your pre-ordered dishes and drinks.
I can clean up any messes and take care of anything that you
might need.
The darkness will not be an issue for me because again, I
am actually blind.
Lastly, you're going to leave your phones, smartwatches,
basically anything that emits light in the lockers behind
that door.
I will not look in your lockers.
Both because I'm honest and
because I am really, truly, 100%,
FDA-approved,
actually blind.
Any other questions?
Yep.
Shoot.
Are you actually blind?
I've heard that one too, hotshot.
Okay, you guys can go leave your things in the lockers and
meet me back here in 5 minutes.
Hey,
I'm Cedric.
Oh, I hear you're the birthday, babe.
It's a hat they want me to wear.
Oh, and you're no fun?
I'm not a flashy dresser.
And you're more of a gray suit businessman?
More blue suit detective.
A blue suit detective who doesn't want to be a cowboy?
Yeah, well, I don't think I remember John Wayne ever
wearing one with pink lettering on the front.
Eh, I never liked him anyway.
Who'd you prefer?
Joan Crawford, Johnny Guitar.
Oh, such a great one -Right?
Too few movies have a woman in the final showdown.
So do you run this place the way Joan ran her saloon?
More or less, yeah.
I think we're all ready.
Okay, great.
Um, everyone, we're gonna form
a line behind the birthday babe.
He's gonna put his hand on my shoulder, and then you will all
get behind him and follow suit.
I'm not fragile.
Okay, follow me.
Oh!
Loopety loo!
Here we go, boys!
Okay!
Patrick, Patrick, Patrick,
Patrick, Patrick
Okay, okay, let's go to the bar!
Hey, hey, you were totally right about this place.
What did I say?
Only Scotch pours were a little light.
I hope you enjoyed your meal.
You too.
You too?
I-
Come on.
Hey, where's this Uber?
It's coming.
Should have been on the first one.
I'm the birthday babe.
Patience is a virtue, Detective.
Alright.
I think you made the right call back there.
What?
With Ash.
Oh, the waitress.
How many drinks did you have?
All I'm saying...
...is I think it's been too soon since the divorce.
It's been a year.
Sure.
I just don't think she's that into you.
She so was.
She was.
But it's best to play it safe.
Hey, I see you.
I'm not that drunk.
Get in there.
Well,
okay.
You got this.
Watch and learn.
Excuse me.
What can I getcha?
Uh, no, I was just here.
Did you forget something?
No, I just-
Is Ash available?
Uh, I'd like a word.
Sure you do.
I'll go get her.
Uh, it's Cedric, by the way.
Got it.
Cedric?
Hey.
Hi, how can I help you?
Oh, well, I just wanted to come and ask if you're seeing anyone
right now.
Oh!
Oh my God, I'm so sorry.
I just meant, are you seeing anyone, like dating?
Uh, not like, you know, seeing.
I know the expression.
Right.
Hey, I mean, you're not stupid.
You're just like a normal person.
I mean, you are a normal person, just with a disability.
I mean, differently ability.
But you know what?
I don't care.
In fact, I like it.
But not like that, not like weird, just like,
I see the value in diverse perspectives.
Just not in a sighted perspective way, just like in a
very normal, not weird way.
Because you are, and I am...
...normal.
Right.
God, this is going bad.
Hey, take it easy. -I feel sick.
Oh.
And then,
he throws up all over Ashley's shoes.
Okay, not all over.
You're currently barefoot.
Okay, so what did you do?
Well, I helped his friend roll him into his car.
No, no, no phone number, no nothing?
No.
A guy literally spills his guts out trying to ask you out and
you just turn him down?
Okay, you didn't hear his allyship panic spiral.
Oh, it made me want to go deaf.
I just wanted to make sure he got home safe.
Ah,
there it is. -Yep.
What?
Ash turns another potential date into an opportunity to
take care of somebody.
Big sis never misses a chance.
I'd say she misses plenty of chances.
Oh, okay. What's that thing they say
about, uh, stones and glass houses?
Yeah, boss, you should be grateful.
Without Ash, you would have the
saddest person alive in this shop.
Hey! -Well, yeah, well, we can't
all be U-Haul lesbians now, can we?
I'm not a U-Haul lesbian.
Okay. -Okay.
I need some company who's gotten laid this year.
Where's Gina?
Hey, girl, hey!
Save me!
I'm giving Dani a lift later on if you want in.
Hell yeah!
I don't want to touch your stinky feet.
Oh my gosh.
Chop chop, ladies, come on.
Chop chop?
You chop chop, bitch.
His fault.
Yeah, don't put them on the seats.
Don't put them on the ground.
Home, James.
Yeah, yeah.
Seriously though, you got to
check that thing with the payroll.
I will.
It's important.
I know.
You know it affects my benefits, right?
They're very touchy about that.
I get that, yes. I just-
What is it?
Some guy.
He's just standing in the middle of the street.
Hey. Hey, buddy!
What was that?
Some LA local color.
Ooh.
Another new boyfriend for Ash.
Shut up.
Hey, Igor, read this.
One moment, master.
Sorry, I can't read that.
Igor, read this.
One moment, master.
Sorry, I can't read that.
Igor, open Look-See-Loo.
Yes, master, opening Look-See-Loo.
Igor, check favorites.
JP is available.
Igor, call JP.
Ashley, what's up?
What are you doing up? It must be 3 AM in Tennessee.
Couldn't sleep.
Need help with something?
Yeah, hey, can you read this expiration date for me?
My phone can't read it.
Uh, move the camera left a little.
It's smudged, but it looks like the 7th, which is-
Today
Uh-huh.
Does the expiration date mean
you can't have it on the day or after?
I wouldn't risk it.
Coward.
I believe the phrase is thank you.
Thanks.
Screw it.
Black.
White.
You nailed it, honey.
Hey, Jean.
Hey, beautiful.
For our music class at the Braille Institute-
Uh-huh. -What do you think about
calling it The Dark Side of the Tune?
I love it.
Yeah? -Yes, ma'am.
Better than playing by ear?
Oh yeah, definitely.
You done in here?
Yeah, you?
Perfect. Yeah, Shane, let's go.
Dining room clear?
Dining room clear.
My campers finally went home.
Finally. There's always that one Party, huh?
So true.
Are you almost ready to go?
Uh, no.
Not tonight.
I gotta stay late.
Inventory?
Um, did- did Dani leave yet, by any chance?
Yeah, like 20 minutes ago. How come?
Because I don't want her giving
me the yips before I go on this date.
Andre, you have a date?
I do, yeah.
With who?
She is a chef
at another restaurant.
Oh, how soigné?
Yeah, yeah.
How did you meet?
At a bar.
So we're just going to meet there again after she gets out
of work in an hour.
Yeah. Are you-
are you good to walk home alone tonight?
Oh, yeah, of course.
You good to finish cleaning up alone?
Oh, of course. Yeah.
Okay. Bonne chance , chef.
Je croise les doigts.
Oh, sorry, excuse me.
Is that you, Ash?
Andre?
I forgot my keys.
I can tell the lights are still on.
Damn it.
Andre?
Nice job cleaning up alone.
Andre?
Igor, call 911.
Yes, master.
Calling now.
Igor, go to sleep.
Hey. -Hey.
If it wasn't so morbid, I'd say welcome back to the
scene of the crime.
What do we got?
Uh, got a head chef stabbed by
his own knife sometime after midnight.
No prints, no surveillance
footage, no clear suspects or motive.
But we do have a witness.
You'll never guess who it is.
Um, Andre has a sister.
I can't remember her name.
So after he stepped on the glass, he just ran out?
Yeah, I must have left a piece.
Um,
I swear I know her name.
Hey, you keep referring to this person as a man.
Are you sure about that?
I think so.
Um,
she lives in San Clemente.
Can you tell us anything else about this person?
He had really heavy steps, like he was wearing big boots,
probably black-soled.
They found scuff marks back there.
What else?
He cracked his knuckles with one hand.
How do you know he did it with just one hand?
Right, normal people do it with two.
It was like this.
My granddad used to crack his knuckles like that.
Anything else?
Um.
Oh, he used this really antiseptic cleaner.
It smelled like a hospital.
So it was a strong scent?
Yeah, I still smell it in here.
Lola! Lo Faro.
That's his sister's name.
Okay, great.
You've been very helpful. Thank you so much, okay?
We'll speak soon.
Okay, so what do you think?
I think boots, knuckle pops, and hospital smell aren't much
to go off of.
Yeah, fair.
What she said about him going on a date might lead somewhere.
Maybe.
Got a female chef meeting out at a bar...
...somewhere.
See if they got into his phone yet.
Alright.
I know, Dani, okay?
Just come over to my house later, okay?
Okay.
Okay. I love you.
Hey, it's Detective Fleischer again.
Yeah?
There's something I need to tell you.
About Andre?
No, about me, actually.
I'm the person who threw up on your shoes last week.
I know.
Oh. You recognize my voice?
No, I met you one time.
Your partner told me.
Right. Well, I just wanted to apologize because that's not
who I normally am.
Great. Is that all?
No?
Can I have some space?
I just- I thought I should say something, so-
Why? Because it went so well for you last time?
I'm sorry, my friend just died.
Of course. -Thank you.
Damn it.
Who is it?
It's Dani.
Ash? -Mia.
That stupid idiot.
Okay, come inside, okay?
Okay.
I'll make you some tea.
Are you okay?
Um, yeah.
Go- go back to sleep.
Okay.
How long have you been up?
A while.
Do we have work today?
No, check your email.
We are off until at least Tuesday.
Um, I made coffee, so just lock up whenever you leave.
Where are you going?
I'm going to try and feel less helpless.
Detective Fleischer?
Cedric's not here.
I need to speak with him.
And you are?
I'm the witness to last night's murder.
Yeah, okay.
Is something funny?
No, I get it. I get it.
You get what?
You're some kind of kiss on Stripogram, right?
For Ced's birthday?
The hot blind chick.
Miss, "I can't see anything, but you can see everything," right?
Right.
Ash?
Cedric?
Why did you throw lukewarm coffee on Detective Chambers?
Because he's a dick.
You're going to need to be more specific.
Because he's an ableist dick.
Okay, tell me what happened.
Okay, got your mug back, and I sent Detective Chambers home
for the day.
So his punishment is a day off?
He also has to do a virtual HR seminar.
How long?
6 hours, no mute.
That's better.
So how are you all doing?
Everyone at the restaurant is a mess.
But not you? -No, I'm just so mad.
So you came here to do something about it?
Yeah, kinda.
I told you we'd be in touch if
we had any other questions, Ash-
I know, but please just listen to me.
I know
I'm the blind eyewitness.
I don't need anyone to tell me how ridiculous that sounds,
but yesterday I just felt so helpless.
I couldn't help Andre or myself or anyone, and I,
I hate that,
and I just want to do something, anything, anything.
So please just tell me what I can do.
I hear you.
I really do.
A lot of people experience
similar feelings after a tragedy.
And while I understand how-
This is just a long way of you telling me no.
This isn't a no.
So what is it then?
It's a not right now.
That's a no.
This isn't helping.
Give me my mug.
You're lucky I'm out of coffee.
Excuse me.
Ash? It's Guy.
Better not stop.
I'm already pissed off at two cops today.
What did he do this time?
He didn't have any ideas for how I could help.
Did you have any ideas on how you could help?
No, not really.
So you both didn't have any ideas on how you could help?
You know, maybe I just don't like cops.
I'm just trying to get the story straight, okay?
Am I free to go?
Let's not go there,
all right? I'm sure you've been feeling
this mad ever since you woke up.
Technically, it preceded that.
More to my point, I'm sure you've got some more valuable
information that's stuck behind a wall of mad, mad, mad.
If you want to be helpful, just go home, take your mind off-
Are you serious?
Last night, you gave us all the
information you could by focusing.
You're focused.
So try focusing elsewhere.
See what comes to mind while you're otherwise occupied.
Kind of like how you have your best ideas in the shower.
Exactly.
You know, maybe he said something last week, had a
fight last month.
Maybe it's his favorite ladle.
Who knows?
Okay.
Thanks, Guy.
Do you see someone over there in boots?
What? -Like heavy black boots.
Uh, no?
Are you sure?
I don't know.
Detective Fleischer
Get to Palisades Park now.
Who is this?
It's Ash.
The boots guy is here, I know it.
Hold on.
I'm gonna follow him.
Ash, wait for me to get there before-
Call for you, master, from Cedric.
Igor, text Cedric, "Only call me when you get here."
I don't know what to tell you, man.
Thanks anyway. -I'm sorry.
Hope you know how stupid that was.
Did you find him?
Nope, not a trace.
Any witnesses?
Uh, one kid remembers a blind lady who seemed nice, and then
she started sprinting across the park, so.
Is that it?
No one saw a guy in boots.
Okay, are you sure it was our guy?
Can you give us a second?
Listen.
See?
Heavy boots, strong steps.
Wait for him to crack his knuckles.
Pop, pop, pop.
Just like I said.
Yeah, I hear it.
And?
And it's not exactly definitive.
I know that.
And it's a bit coincidental,
you finding him in a random crowd.
Not if he was following me here.
Until he just left.
There were a lot of people around,
maybe he needed an opportunity.
This is getting awfully speculative.
Fine,
don't listen to me.
Just find him.
What's she even doing?
Uh, she was making field recordings.
It's something that she does for her music, apparently.
On cassette?
I mean, if we have to play this, we're gonna have to use
the tape deck in my dad's Buick.
What about you?
Nothing on his phone, nothing in his apartment.
Mystery date remains a mystery.
You try anyone you might know in the foodie scene?
No, but it's not a bad idea.
You try Samantha?
I did not call Samantha, okay?
Should probably start with someone that'll actually answer
my calls anyways.
Though,
a lack of evidence has got me thinking.
What?
What if we have this all backwards?
Meaning?
What if the chef wasn't the main target.
Huh.
Good boy.
How's your head?
It hurts.
I bet.
Um.
Need a hand?
Got it.
So, uh, should I go screw myself or what?
Do you need something?
Yes.
I need you to stop being such a baby and such a dumbass.
I'm not a dumbass.
You got yourself hit by a car.
It tapped me.
I was chasing Andre's killer.
Okay, maybe.
But you could have gotten yourself killed too.
I had to do something.
The cops are useless.
Do you remember that speech that I give to everyone who
gets referred to the Braille Institute?
Yes. What does that have to do with anything-
Trust.
That is the number one thing
I've gotten out of my vision loss.
Whenever I put my hand on Shane's harness handle or
somebody's arm to let them guide me, I have to trust them.
And yeah, sometimes it does feel like I'm losing some
independence and some control,
but in doing so, I've learned to put my faith in the people
around me and to trust that
given the chance, they will help.
You should tell the cop that.
I'm not talking about him.
I know, but I've heard this a dozen times.
Okay, but did you actually listen?
Yes,
I hear you.
This is Cedric, leave a message.
Cedric, it's Ash.
Um,
I just wanted to let you know that you can trust me because
I've decided to trust you too.
Hey Ashley, what's up?
Oh my God!
Well, can you call 911?
Okay.
I don't see anything.
Still nothing.
I mean are you sure-
Oh my God, okay, there's someone there.
There's someone there.
I'm calling 911.
What's your address?
I need the police at 14413 Hansmore Place.
Someone's broken into my friend's house.
She's blind and I'm on a video call with her.
Okay, good.
I'll stay on with her to try to help.
Cops are on their way.
5 minutes.
What do you mean?
Ash, what do you mean?
Oh, okay, okay, I got you.
I see him. Do you hear him?
Okay, he's coming.
Get ready.
3.
2.
1.
Yeah, get him!
Swing again!
Ah, it's Cedric!
What?
So no clues to the guy's age, race, hair color?
I didn't see much other than he wore black.
Including the boots?
Yeah, big ones.
Call me tomorrow, we'll take an official statement.
Will do.
Thanks.
Ow.
I hope you know how stupid that was.
I'm not taking the bait.
You didn't wait for backup.
I was right around the block.
You failed to announce yourself.
Your door was wide open when I got here.
So you got worried about me?
I was already worried about you.
What do you mean?
Guy's got this theory that the
murderer might be targeting you.
Well, obviously.
I mean, not just because you're a witness.
You were the last person there before the murder, and now he's
come after you once, maybe twice since.
You think this has something to do with me?
I'm not ruling it out.
Either way, we're going to put
you under round-the-clock protection,
and either way, that means that we need to look into your
connection to the case.
Does that mean-
See you tomorrow at 8, slugger.
See you then, birthday babe.
Piping hot cliché for you, sir.
As long as they aren't hibiscus rose clichés again.
Classic assorted.
Ah, there we go.
But only because the Hibiscus Rose is sold out.
You snoot.
You philistine.
Anyway, any luck with that female chef?
No, not really, but I'll keep working on it.
I mean it's what, 11,000 restaurants in the
LA metro area?
Needle in the haystack barely begins to cover it.
And?
And Samantha didn't call me back.
But what about you, huh?
Aside from letting a blind girl get the once-over on you.
I think we need to look into your idea about the cook being
collateral damage.
I agree.
Oh, mind if I take two?
Uh, yeah.
Hey, help yourself. -Thanks.
Hi, Cedric.
Hi! -Good to see you.
Um, I have donuts.
Do you like donuts?
Oh, thank you. Yes, I do.
Great.
No, it's too grandma. It's not enough hospital.
Okay, so too flowery should be more acidic.
Antiseptic?
They're synonyms.
You want to bet?
Absolutely.
Dinner?
Done.
Hey, Igor, search the definition of acidic.
Lunch?
I'm more concerned about dinner.
What?
Someone lost a bet.
Where are you taking our chief witness out to?
We were just joking around.
Does she know that?
Relax.
I know I was the one that told you to go for it back at the
restaurant, but that was before she was involved in a crime
you're investigating.
I don't need you to read me the handbook.
Are you sure?
Because you spent the entire
morning flirting with her about soap.
I spent the morning interviewing our witness about
her personal and professional connections before engaging her
in a casual exercise where she might reveal something that she
wouldn't have during the formal interview.
I know the rules, guy.
If you say so.
There's a reason you went back there that night.
Remember when he had that girl to the restaurant?
We were all his waitresses.
He loved cheese.
He did love cheese.
I don't think so.
It's like, it's really bad because his family is just so
unsure of how to move forward.
Excuse me, Ash?
Cedric?
Sorry I'm late.
I thought I'd come pay my respects.
That's really nice of you.
Is that the cop?
Um, yeah.
Um, Cedric, this is Dani.
We met.
We did.
And Jean.
Hi, nice meeting you.
Nice to meet you as well.
Um, you missed Jean's song.
She's a full-on opera singer.
She sang Ave Maria.
I think actually André would have liked it.
He wasn't really religious, but he was really open, even though
he was an atheist.
Agnostic.
They say that's not a religion.
Come on, Schopenhauer.
Let's go get something to drink.
Thank you for coming.
Of course.
I didn't know it was going to be so casual.
Yeah, it's perfect for Andre.
It was light on the ceremony and heavy on the fun.
Hmm.
Wish I'd known.
I'm very overdressed.
Are you wearing a suit?
Black with a black tie.
Yeah.
Can I get you a drink?
No, I'm technically on duty.
I took tonight's shift watching you.
Food then?
I'm starving.
Uh, I can make you a plate if you like.
No, my restaurant catered this and I eat there all the time.
Plus, you owe me dinner.
I know a place.
No that's what I'm saying.
The entire world is based around sighted culture.
What does that even mean?
For instance, I'm looking at you while I'm talking to you.
Even though you can't see me.
Right. Otherwise you might think I'm rude.
Huh.
It's everywhere once you notice it.
I mean, the restaurant I work at is literally named after a
common refrain that equates being blind to ignorance.
I guess I never thought of it like that.
Most people haven't.
So if you get SSDI benefits, you can still work?
Yes, but there's a cap on how much you can earn.
So for blind people, it's literally $2,700 a month.
If I earn more than that, I could lose my benefits.
Even Medicare?
Yeah, it's more complicated.
So the SSI, they have a max of how much you can have in your
bank account, and it's $2,000.
That's it?
Yes. The legislation is decades old, and they didn't account
for inflation.
If you get married, it's worse.
They have a household maximum of $3,000 combined.
A lot of people are too afraid to get married because they
think that they'll lose their benefits.
That sucks.
I know.
So you can still see in your dreams?
Colors and everything.
Gotcha.
Yeah, the only difference is my brain has to make up a face for
someone that I've met but haven't seen.
So what do I look like?
I'll let you know when you show up.
Okay.
I'm ready.
For what?
To tell you the story.
What story?
The story.
Oh, you really don't have to.
I hate it, but I'd rather just get it over with.
That's why I give my spiel at the restaurant, so that I can
just blaze past it and not go into the details.
Ash, you really don't have to tell me.
No,
I do.
It started in the top corner of my left eye
and it spread
like a shower door misting over.
And my right eye went faster.
And now, like I said, I can just see when lights are on or
off and nothing else.
What was it?
Idiopathic optic neuritis.
It's a medical equivalent of, of a shrug.
I did months of treatment and
tests, spinal taps, MRIs, and steroids.
I even went through chemo.
Still no answers.
I have lesions growing on my
optic nerves for no apparent reason.
That must have really pissed you off.
What?
Sorry.
Well, it does.
The not knowing really pissed me off.
All that uncertainty.
Oh, a complete lack of control.
Yeah, you must have hated that.
I was furious.
I bet.
You know, most people just go for telling me how brave I am
and they pat me on the hand.
They must not know you very well.
I guess not.
How does a blind skydiver know
when they're about to hit the ground?
I don't know, tell me.
The leash goes limp.
Oh God, that's terrible.
Okay, blame Dani for that one.
Hey, do you know any jokes about drunk blind girls?
I'm not drunk.
Oh, interesting, you make that connection.
Uh-huh, yeah.
Oh hey, so tomorrow I was thinking maybe we go down to
the shoe door and do a boots lineup.
Why? Because the cleaning
lineup was such a rousing success?
Have you got any better ideas?
No, I'm drunk.
Ah, she admits it
The third watch for your
protective detail will be here soon.
I'll wait out on the drive.
Oh, okay.
Good night.
I'm coming.
You've been playing with me this whole time, but that's over.
Now you're gonna get what you deserve.
Finally.
Igor, search audio erotica, man for woman.
Igor, cancel.
Igor, search audio erotica man for woman cop.
Play first result.
Call for you, master, from Cedric.
Igor, answer.
Yes, master.
Hello?
Hey, I just wanted to let you know we're gonna have to
postpone that boot lineup.
Really?
Yeah, guys' search for Andre's date is coming up empty, so I'm
gonna help knock on some kitchen doors.
That's probably a better use of your time anyway.
Yeah, boot lineup wasn't exactly my best idea.
How you feeling?
There may be an ibuprofen in my future, but not too bad.
Hopefully I didn't keep you out too late.
Nah, I'm a night owl.
I watched a whole movie after I got home.
What'd you watch?
Johnny Guitar?
No, Blind Fear.
You ever heard of it?
No, but I can guess why it caught your eye.
Yeah, it was actually pretty good.
It was kind of like Die Hard, but it was about this blind
woman outsmarting an abandoned hotel full of bank robbers.
And then in the end, you find out she was working for their
boss the whole time and she got away with all the money.
Hell yeah!
What a good twist.
It totally got me.
Come on, Detective.
You should know by now not to underestimate the blind girl.
I should, shouldn't I?
Well, then good hunting.
Thanks.
Finally, I was growing a beard over here.
How seriously did we look into the blind members of the staff?
I mean, we gave them all a once-over.
That's what I thought.
You think they're worth another look.
Couldn't hurt.
What's up?
I was wondering if you wanted to finally help me label those
records I got a couple weeks ago.
Absolutely.
Great.
Final Klaxon by Silent Ness.
Great record.
So good.
I can't believe you didn't already have that.
For shame, Ashley.
Okay, I probably have it on a
CD in my parents' basement somewhere.
Fair enough.
Uh, Chris Bonucci, total classic.
You better be right about that one.
Bonucci, can't go wrong with Bonucci.
It's good to see you.
I've been worried since our last call.
Yeah, um, I'm sorry again about that.
Did they catch the guy yet?
Not yet.
Mystic Marine.
Look, after what happened, it really got me thinking.
Oh?
Like I wanted to know how you were, but since we only
talk in the app, I can't contact you.
Right.
But if I had your number, we could just FaceTime.
I guess, um.
Hey, what's left?
Zempire.
Right.
We're friends, right?
Look, JP.
I care about you.
You don't know me.
Sure I do.
No, you don't.
Well, I want to.
You live in Tennessee.
What if I didn't?
What are you saying?
What if I moved?
For me?
Uh, yeah, not just for you, but
I've been thinking about moving to LA anyways, so I just
figured I would-
Hey, Igor, read options.
Yes, master.
Call, remove from favorites,
block.
Email for you, Master, from Look-See-Loo Help Desk.
Igor, read email.
Yes, Master.
Dear user, we have received your report and are now looking
into the situation-
Igor, cancel.
Yes, master.
Hello?
Ash? -Yeah, what's going on?
Dani got arrested.
What?
Will you please just listen to me?
This is absurd.
Her prints were on the knife.
Her and how many other people?
I can't comment on that.
It's a commercial kitchen.
I'm aware.
What about what I heard? The boots?
When we picked her up, she was in black steel toes.
That's different than what I heard.
More like a man, I know.
What about the soap and the knuckle cracking?
None of which are proof.
She can buy a bottle of soap, she can crack her knuckles.
That's not the point. The point is she has a motive.
She loved Andre.
He screwed up her checks.
What?
Some glitch in their accounting software meant she got paid on
the 31st instead of the 1st sometimes.
It put her over the SSDI income limit 4 times last year.
Neither of them caught it until the government did.
Her benefits are under review.
No, no, she would not kill him over that.
She threatened him over text.
What did she say?
She said enough.
And you said she left just before you did that night.
Yeah, but I heard a car.
We think that she may have used an autonomous rideshare.
You think she ordered a Waymo to dump a body?
We know she has an account and she hailed a ride that night.
She was probably getting a ride home.
We're looking into it.
You're an idiot.
You need to calm down.
No, No, I won't calm down because I think one of us needs
to give a rat's ass about justice.
Don't get pissed at me for what she did.
She didn't do anything!
Prove it!
Give me one bit of evidence that actually contradicts what
I've said.
Prints, motive, threats, opportunity, no alibi.
It's circumstantial, but it's
solid, and I'm just getting started.
Hey, guy, will you give me a ride home?
Sure.
I'm sorry we couldn't justify keeping protection on you with
the suspect in custody.
Great.
Ash,
it's probably for the best.
I'm the last guy you should be going to for dating advice.
Look.
He's a good guy.
He's good police.
He's passionate, he's focused, he's sure of himself.
He always wants to help.
But he's a control freak and
stubborn son of a bitch.
You got that right.
I mean, from the looks of it,
you might be the same.
Maybe.
It wouldn't work out.
I just watched it happen with his ex-wife.
She's a sweet woman.
Pediatric nurse, but she was just like him.
When people rely on you, you have control.
And if you're not careful,
you get afraid of losing that control.
Vulnerability is scary,
but without it,
relationship can't last.
I'm sorry, I don't mean to lecture.
No, um,
it's okay.
Thanks, Guy.
Take care.
They can't certify me as blind until I get examined by a
doctor, and so I'm just getting dragged from place to place.
The lawyers will be able to help with that.
And, um, I know
a guy who does jail outreach, so he can help too.
How Christian is he?
Um, Christian enough that when you say stuff like that, he
won't take offense.
Thanks, y'all.
We're gonna get you some help.
Yeah, just hang tight, okay?
Okay.
Bye.
-Bye.
I'm looking for Patterson, party of one.
Right here.
Awesome, thank you for your patience.
We are short of staff today.
Um, my name is Ash.
I will be taking care of you.
Ashley,
it's me.
JP?
Listen, I know this is weird.
Do you?
Yes, I do, and I just want you to know you have absolutely
nothing to worry about.
Like you coming to my work after I blocked you?
I just came here to apologize.
Great, you apologized, now leave.
I just want to talk for a minute.
What happened to you just wanting to apologize?
You know what I mean. -You're not my first chaser.
What?
Chaser, devotee, admirer, all means the same thing.
What are you accusing me of?
Flying across the country to screw a blind chick.
No, no, I didn't fly.
I live-
I live here now.
That's worse.
You're taking this the wrong- -How?
I'm not like stalking you.
Then why are you here?
I just want to talk. -Well I don't.
Why are you being such a bitch?
It was you!
You killed him!
Ash, no! -Someone call 911!
No, no, no!
Someone grab him!
So when he gave his statement,
he mentioned an address in Knoxville.
Mm-hmm.
Do you know where he's staying?
I have no idea.
Well, that's not much to go off of.
Is it enough to get Dani out of jail?
I hear what you're saying, but aside from his interest in you,
there's nothing tying him to Andre's murder.
Great, so we're back to nobody listening to me.
Let me find him.
And I'll see what we can do, okay?
In the meantime, can I get my security detail back?
I wish I could,
but it scared him off pretty good, right?
I mean, if we're lucky, he ran all the way back to Rocky Top.
What about me has given you the impression that I'm lucky?
We'll stay in touch.
Okay.
Uh, hey.
Where is he?
I think after what happened last time, it's better that I
handle it.
You're probably right.
Yeah.
Igor, search...
...home security stores near me
open 24 hours.
Yes, master.
Igor, call 911!
Yes, master.
So you had a stun gun
in your shower caddy?
The box said that it was water resistant.
Where did you even get a stun gun?
I got it from a 24-hour
military surplus store off Pico.
No, don't. -Okay, okay, okay.
Knock knock.
Ash? -Dani!
I'm right here, I'm right here.
Oh Are you okay?
Am I okay?
You're the one who just got attacked.
I'm fine, I'm just so glad that you're out.
Me too.
Um, Dani, on behalf of all of us, just want to apologize.
We totally had it wrong, so
hopefully there are no hard feelings.
Oh, there's gonna be plenty of hard feelings.
Fair enough.
Please just find that creep.
Of course.
How are you getting home?
We've got a couple officers with some cars.
Do you want me to come with you?
No, I just want to get in my own bed and sleep for a week.
Okay, I'll see you when you wake up.
Okay.
Can I guide you?
I'm good.
Okay, uh, yep, right over there.
I think I owe you an apology as well.
Shoot.
You had it right, we had it wrong.
Wherever this JP guy is, we're gonna find him and put an end
to this.
I don't think I heard an apology in there.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
Come on, I'll get you a ride home.
Oh, I-
I really don't want to stay at home tonight.
Oh, of course.
Hotel?
Can I say something stupid?
Sure.
When I thought that guy was gonna kill me in the shower,
I really regretted not kissing you.
Oh! Are you okay?
I told you, I'm not fragile.
Hey, wait, wait, wait. Gun.
Oh, gun, gun.
Badge.
Couch. -Couch? Couch.
Couch. Couch.
Follow me.
That's what I want to do.
I want to make music that makes
people hear the music around them.
That's kind of beautiful.
Okay, well, I'm going to go grab a shower before we turn
in, figure out what to do about all this tomorrow.
Sounds good.
Hey Igor, open games folder.
Yes master, battery at 3%.
Um, hey, do you have an extra phone charger I could use?
I want to do Wordle.
Uh, yeah, there's one in the socket next to the kitchen sink
to the left of you.
You want me to get it for you?
Oh, I can get it.
Thank you.
Can I wear this shirt on the chair?
Yeah, go for it!
Black.
Hey, did you ever get into Dave Matthews Band?
Yeah, I saw him once in college.
Ash?
But are you sure?
Guy, I know what I smelled and what I found, okay?
It's Cedric.
Okay, where are you?
He broke into my house earlier, so I'm at the restaurant.
Good idea, stay there.
I'll send some guys.
You can all hunker down there until we've got him.
I'll go myself.
Maybe I can get him to surrender peacefully.
Okay, I turned a light on in
the back for when they get here.
Keep the door locked.
I'll call when I know who's coming.
Okay.
And Ash?
Yeah?
Don't feel bad. I didn't see it coming either.
Thanks.
Call for you, master, from Cedric.
I know what you did.
What?
I found everything.
Ash, where are you?
Oh, wouldn't you like to know.
I'm sorry, what are you saying?
What I'm saying is the cleaner that I smelled that night, I
found under your sink.
And the boots that I heard that
night, I found by your front door.
The black boots.
You mean the cleaner you spilled on my floor?
Yeah, the cleaner you used to clean up Andre's body?
And the boots at the end of the row?
Yes, the, the boots.
They're department issue.
What?
The cleaners used at crime scenes and the boots are
tactical gear for SWAT raids.
What are you saying?
Any cop could have these.
Cedric-
I'm really sorry about this.
Guy?
I really am.
Screw you.
Stop!
Ash. You know I've got a gun, but I don't have to use it.
Come quietly,
and I promise I'll make it painless.
I have a better idea.
No!
Ash?
Damn it!
Ash?
Where is it?
Come on, come on, come on.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
There you are.
Hey, it's me.
Hey.
Um.
So I just got off the phone with Guy's ex, Samantha.
My hunch was right.
She's the person Andre was dating.
Best guess is an argument over her
got out of hand, and everything else was just him trying to
cover things up and silence you.
I knew that guy was a jerk.
Is he dead?
Uh, yeah.
What a waste.
We've got people you can talk to.
Thank you.
Well, I'll go check on that, and, um, I'll, I'll update you
guys when I can, okay?
I can't believe this.
You're gonna be okay.
Ash, hey, wait up.
Jean said you left.
They said I was free to go.
I just-
I had to get out of there.
Are you okay?
I just killed somebody.
I'm miles from okay.
I'm sorry.
I know he was your friend.
Yeah, he was.
Or I thought he was.
He had us all fooled.
Yeah.
Look, I'm so sorry for screwing things up between us.
What do you mean?
3 hours ago, I was convinced you were trying to kill me.
I know.
That doesn't bother you?
There were serious extenuating circumstances.
Circumstances or not, it bothers me.
I think it's an issue when the relationship troubles predate
the relationship.
Well, it seems to me that in order for you to work through
your relationship problems, you have to be in a relationship.
I just don't know how we would get past all this.
Maybe it's what Johnny told Vienna in Johnny Guitar.
We both just had a bad dream,
but now it's over and we're awake.
That didn't work in the movie.
So?
Maybe it'll work for us.
Maybe.
Okay.
Can I walk you home?
