00:00:00See, I told you it looked better here, didn't I?
00:00:10Yeah, yeah, you're right.
00:00:11Of course I'm right.
00:00:12I know what's best for you, baby.
00:00:13All right, let's work.
00:00:14Gotta go.
00:00:15Oh, okay.
00:00:16What?
00:00:17Oh, um, nothing.
00:00:18It's just...
00:00:19I thought you said you took the day off so you could help me move in.
00:00:34Well, you know if I don't work, then I don't get paid, and if I don't get paid, how am
00:00:38I supposed to afford those fancy dinners I take you out on?
00:00:41Right.
00:00:42Speaking of, um, as of next week, we'll have been dating a whole year.
00:00:47Maybe we could do something.
00:00:50Well, we've been going out on dates for about a year.
00:00:55That's what I said.
00:00:56That's not exactly what you said.
00:00:57I mean, you're not looking for anything serious, right?
00:01:01What?
00:01:02Well, I mean, I'm trying to start my business, and you're waiting on a phone call from the
00:01:08library.
00:01:09I think that we're good as is.
00:01:11I mean, we don't have to put a label on anything, right, babe?
00:01:18Yeah, right.
00:01:19Yeah.
00:01:20Okay, well, I gotta go, so I will see you later.
00:01:24Mm-hmm.
00:01:35Adam!
00:01:40Oh, shit.
00:01:45Perfect.
00:01:48Wonderful.
00:01:58Okay.
00:02:05Ma'am, I need you to stop what you're doing and put your hands in the air.
00:02:09Hands above your head.
00:02:10What the hell?
00:02:11Ma'am, if you don't cooperate, I'm gonna be forced to grab you.
00:02:13No, no, no, wait, wait.
00:02:14I'm not breaking in.
00:02:15This is my apartment.
00:02:16I live here.
00:02:17What are you doing?
00:02:19Oh, my God.
00:02:20I'm arresting you for breaking and entering.
00:02:22Oh, my God.
00:02:23This is my apartment, you lunatic.
00:02:25I live here.
00:02:26Well, do you have documentation to prove that?
00:02:28Yeah, check my phone.
00:02:29The lease is in my email.
00:02:30All right.
00:02:31We'll see about that.
00:02:32Email, huh?
00:02:34Where do I look?
00:02:35What do you mean?
00:02:36It's right at the top.
00:02:37Huh.
00:02:39Oh, would you look at that?
00:02:40Yeah.
00:02:41Okay, can you uncuff me now, please?
00:02:47For the record, credit card works better.
00:03:01Welcome home.
00:03:03Who are you?
00:03:04Jake, apartment D.
00:03:07Nice to meet you, neighbor.
00:03:09And you are?
00:03:12Noel.
00:03:13Pleasure, Noel.
00:03:15Well, if you need a cup of sugar or a guy jail free card, you know where to find me.
00:03:20How about an apology?
00:03:22For what?
00:03:24Protecting and serving.
00:03:25That's kind of my job.
00:03:27Oh, so your job is being an impulsive asshole who goes around cuffing innocent people?
00:03:41See you around, neighbor.
00:03:42You wish, asshole.
00:03:44Jerk.
00:03:45Who the hell does he think he is?
00:03:54You're under arrest.
00:03:56I live here.
00:04:04Hi, Aunt Shelley.
00:04:05Jakey, I'm so glad you answered.
00:04:07I just wanted to check in with you.
00:04:09I miss you.
00:04:10It's been so long.
00:04:11I miss you too, Aunt Shelley.
00:04:12Jake, I know these past few years have been hard for you, but your parents wouldn't want
00:04:16you to live this way.
00:04:17You're practically a recluse at this point.
00:04:20I'm fine, Aunt Shelley.
00:04:21Really.
00:04:22How about I come by?
00:04:23I can bring this lovely woman you need to meet.
00:04:25She's the daughter of my friend from Swim Aerobics.
00:04:27No, don't do that.
00:04:29I'm actually seeing someone.
00:04:31You are?
00:04:33Yeah, I didn't want to say anything.
00:04:35I didn't know if it was serious.
00:04:37But she just moved in.
00:04:40So, no need to set me up.
00:04:42Well, I can't wait to meet her.
00:04:44I'll pop by sometime.
00:04:45No, don't do that.
00:04:46She's shy.
00:04:47Nonsense.
00:04:58Aunt Shelley, I have to go.
00:05:06What are you doing in here?
00:05:07I heard screaming.
00:05:08I thought you were in trouble.
00:05:10I was waiting for you to break in, but not me.
00:05:12Listen, I only came to help, but clearly you don't need me, so I'll just leave.
00:05:15Wait, no, no, no, wait, wait.
00:05:18There's a spider.
00:05:25Uh, is that what all the fuss was about?
00:05:29Yeah, I just can't.
00:05:31Here, I'll escort him out.
00:05:40The spider now lives in a tree outside your window.
00:05:45I thought you were going to, um...
00:05:51Truth.
00:05:56Look, I'm sorry about earlier.
00:05:58Honestly, I thought you were trying to rob the place, and my training kicked in.
00:06:03O-Okay.
00:06:04Yeah, truth.
00:06:07You were right, though.
00:06:08I was being an asshole.
00:06:10Usually, when I'm cuffing the innocent, it's consensual.
00:06:18You're cute when you're flustered.
00:06:20I'm not.
00:06:21I'm not flustered.
00:06:23I'm flustered.
00:06:25I'm not flustered.
00:06:27I'm not flustered.
00:06:29you're flustered. I'm not, I'm not flustered.
00:06:33Are you sure about that?
00:06:41Um, I'm seeing someone. Congratulations. Okay, yeah, so stop flirting. Me, flirting?
00:06:49I'm just being friendly. Oh, we're friends now. I would say so, yeah. I saved your
00:06:55ass twice in less than 24 hours. Oh my god, however can I repay you? You want a loan,
00:07:00a kidney? Actually... Seriously, that was a joke. Would you pretend to be my girlfriend?
00:07:06What? Look, um, my aunt's coming to town and I might have accidentally told her I'm seeing
00:07:16someone. So you lied. Potato, potato. So what do you say? I just told you I'm seeing someone
00:07:24You're a complete stranger. Why would I do this? But I'm not a stranger, though. I'm your neighbor.
00:07:29You're friendly, handsome, charming, charitable. Lock picking. Lock picking, yeah.
00:07:41Look, you would really be doing me a solid. It's a long story about my aunt.
00:07:45She's really worried about me. She thinks I've given up on love or whatever.
00:07:50Have you? Well, that's not the point. Look, I just want to give her peace of mind. All you
00:07:57have to do is come over for one dinner, tell one little white lie, and that's it.
00:08:03You're not hurting anyone. Please. You'd be making a really wonderful woman very happy.
00:08:11She's like a second mother to me. I don't want to disappoint her. One dinner? One dinner.
00:08:19Fine. Great.
00:08:28Am I interrupting something? I don't know. No, this is my neighbor, Jake. Yeah, he was
00:08:36helping me with a spider. Babe, I told you a million times, just kill it.
00:08:41If you need help, you can call me.
00:08:47Well, I should probably go. That's a good idea, Jake.
00:08:57I'll see you later, Noah.
00:09:10Hey, Taylor. Reynolds.
00:09:24I'm Reynolds today. Why so formal? I reviewed your closing numbers, and they're not where
00:09:28they should be. We need you getting through more cases per month. I'm working as fast as I can,
00:09:33boss. No, you're fixating all your time on this robbery case, and the chief told you to lay off
00:09:40it. It's not just one robbery case. There's a string of them, and I'm sure they're all connected.
00:09:45And proving that would make you feel like the big hero. It's not about my damn ego,
00:09:50Taylor. It's about justice. Well, I can't run a department that doesn't meet quota.
00:09:57Are you sure you're not singling me out for any particular reason?
00:10:01Excuse me? Are you implying something, Officer Reynolds? Am I implying anything at all?
00:10:07No. That's what I thought. Now get back to work.
00:10:29Oh my god, Jake. I am so sorry. You know, this building has gotten a lot more interesting since
00:10:33you moved in. Are you okay? I'm fine. Seriously, I'm fine.
00:10:42Um, I can get the coffee out. Don't worry about it. No, please, please let me help. I'm really
00:10:47sorry. Just, uh, yeah, come to my apartment. It'll just take a few minutes. Whatever you say.
00:10:56Okay.
00:11:03You know, I can just bring this over to you after if you want to, you know,
00:11:08get changed. And that's the magic you're working? I don't think so.
00:11:14It's just baking soda, white vinegar, and water. Works every time.
00:11:18Hmm. You work at a dry cleaners or something? No. I work in a bookstore.
00:11:27You know, the one down on Main Street? How do you like it?
00:11:31Um, it's not exactly my dream, but, uh, it's close, I guess. What's the dream?
00:11:39I just got my MLIS degree to be a librarian. I want to be an archivist. Research how to print
00:11:45children's books at a university library. Specific. How do you get a job like that?
00:11:54Turns out it's not easy. Hence the bookstore.
00:12:05If you ever change your mind about careers,
00:12:06you have an excellent future in stain removal. You're flirting again.
00:12:13Can't a friend compliment another friend?
00:12:19I think that's your door.
00:12:22Hey, are you home?
00:12:25I should go.
00:12:30Thanks again.
00:12:42What are you doing here?
00:12:53Where were you? Why are you shirtless?
00:12:55Don't worry about it. What are you doing here?
00:12:57I wanted to apologize for earlier. I know you had a rough day and, like I said, I can't keep
00:13:02you on that robbery case without the chief's permission, but maybe I can help take your
00:13:08mind off of it, you know, the way I used to. Taylor, we can't do this.
00:13:16Sure we can. We have. Many times.
00:13:30Nothing strange. We tried.
00:13:33You're not right for each other. I can't give you what you want.
00:13:39You don't want me?
00:13:42I don't know what I want, Taylor.
00:13:46I never do.
00:13:50You're an asshole.
00:13:51I'm just being honest.
00:13:52Those are not mutually exclusive traits. You know, you can't close yourself off forever, Jake.
00:13:58One of these days, you're going to wake up and realize just how lonely you are.
00:14:02Look, Taylor, I'm sorry. I really am. I hope we can still be professional about all this.
00:14:09Look, I know you don't want a relationship, Jake Reynolds,
00:14:13but I will be the girl that changes your mind. Just you watch.
00:14:32Hello, Mr. Saunders.
00:14:36Noelle, I need you to dust the top of the bookshelves today.
00:14:39Yes, sir.
00:14:43What an excellent use of my time and talent.
00:14:47Oh, hi. Sorry. I just meant to take my over shirt off.
00:15:07Would you mind putting me in the direction of health and fitness? That great?
00:15:12I was actually looking for Toni Morrison, but it's good to know I come off as totally insufferable.
00:15:22Oh, my God. I'm so sorry. I assumed.
00:15:26Has anyone ever told you not to judge a book by its cover?
00:15:33Toni Morrison is right there.
00:15:35Thank you. I appreciate it.
00:15:38I'll do it this way.
00:15:39Oh, sorry. Okay.
00:15:42Hey, what's up, babe? I got the book that you wanted.
00:15:48All right.
00:16:11Hello.
00:16:18Hey. Hey, sorry. I know you're at work, but I just heard from the university.
00:16:23I'm sorry, Noelle. I can't talk right now. I'm busy.
00:16:26Right. Yeah. Okay. But maybe we could get a drink after work or something.
00:16:31I think it's going to be a late night rain check.
00:16:38My God, I'm definitely getting a drink.
00:16:41Oh, fuck.
00:16:55Oh, fuck.
00:17:06Seriously?
00:17:07Oh, God.
00:17:30Why are you in my apartment? I'm trying to break in again.
00:17:34Actually, this is my apartment.
00:17:37Because I'm really tired. I cannot entertain right now.
00:17:40I know. We're going to get you home.
00:17:41I am home.
00:17:43Not quite. Can I take you to your place?
00:17:51You smell good.
00:17:53Thanks. Come on. Let's go.
00:17:56Oh, where are you going?
00:17:59Oh, my God. You're really strong.
00:18:03I try.
00:18:07Hmm.
00:18:12Noelle, this is my apartment.
00:18:16You can stay here tonight, though.
00:18:18Thank you. My hero.
00:18:21Okay. Okay. Okay. None of that.
00:18:27You don't want to kiss me? You don't like me?
00:18:34I do want to kiss you.
00:18:37But not right now.
00:18:39Why not?
00:18:41Well, because you're extremely drunk and also you have a boyfriend.
00:18:47I don't have a boyfriend.
00:18:50Please don't boyfriend me.
00:18:53What about that guy I met?
00:19:07Good night, Noah.
00:19:37No, no, no, no.
00:20:07You've been really doing some great work, you should be proud.
00:20:35What's got you so worked up?
00:20:40Nothing, it's nothing.
00:20:42Seriously Jake, that case wasn't assigned to you.
00:20:45There's another robbery on Main Street, they've got to be connected, Taylor.
00:20:51Let me take a look.
00:20:58Did you check for prints on that banister?
00:21:00No, just the front door.
00:21:02I mean, they might match the ones from last week.
00:21:05Good catch, Taylor.
00:21:07I'll get someone to run the prints.
00:21:11I'll do it.
00:21:12You get back to your caseload.
00:21:15Is this punishment for the other night?
00:21:17Punishment?
00:21:18We'll be reporting you to the Chief.
00:21:20Now get back to work, Reynolds.
00:21:22You're assigned work.
00:21:24Who is it?
00:21:37It's me.
00:21:38Come on in.
00:21:40Um, hey.
00:21:43Hey, how you feeling?
00:21:45Uh, so I'm just coming by to say that I'm sorry about last night.
00:21:52Don't worry about it.
00:21:54Um, yeah, I'm honestly not sure how I even got into your apartment, but um,
00:21:59thank you for letting me sleep on your couch.
00:22:01Anytime.
00:22:03For the record, I did try to get you back to your own apartment.
00:22:06Oh my god, that was a mess.
00:22:08You should have thrown me out.
00:22:11Actually, you were kind of cute.
00:22:16No, oh god, no way, no.
00:22:19So, you don't remember anything?
00:22:24No, no, god, isn't that embarrassing?
00:22:30Okay, so, um, I'm gonna retreat to my apartment in shame now.
00:22:35Bye.
00:22:37Hey, I'm making burgers.
00:22:41Want one?
00:22:43Really?
00:22:45They're good hangover food.
00:22:45Mmm, yeah, that's amazing.
00:22:55It tastes just like the ones my mom used to make when I was a kid.
00:22:59She a good cook?
00:23:00Yeah, she was.
00:23:02I'm sorry.
00:23:04Oh, it's okay.
00:23:06I mean, she passed about 10 years ago, but before she got sick, she loved cooking.
00:23:11Burgers, yes, but she also made this pound cake and put this amazing fruit compote on it, and yeah.
00:23:18I'm sorry.
00:23:19I tend to ramble, as you probably noticed.
00:23:22I'm just impressed you can talk about all this.
00:23:27It was a long time ago.
00:23:29Took a while, but, um, now I like talking about her.
00:23:34Makes me feel like she's still here.
00:23:36I, um, lost both of my parents as well.
00:23:46Both of them?
00:23:48Yeah, I don't talk about it much.
00:23:52You can tell me if you want.
00:23:58It's, uh, kind of a heavy story.
00:24:04Hey, it's all right.
00:24:07It's okay.
00:24:19Um, thanks for, thanks for cooking.
00:24:25Anytime.
00:24:29Would your, um, would your pretty friend be okay with us having dinner?
00:24:35I didn't realize you met Taylor.
00:24:38Yeah, I know.
00:24:38I saw her in the hallway the other day.
00:24:41Um, she's beautiful.
00:24:43Yeah.
00:24:44She's your, is she your girlfriend?
00:24:47No, she isn't my girlfriend.
00:24:48We just work together.
00:24:50Okay.
00:24:54We were friends with benefits, but that was a long time ago.
00:25:04Um, what about your guy friend?
00:25:10Oh, Adam?
00:25:12I gotta say, I don't love the way he speaks to you.
00:25:16Is he always so protective?
00:25:19I was going to say controlling, especially for someone who isn't your boyfriend.
00:25:28It's complicated.
00:25:35What was that?
00:25:41First pipe.
00:25:42Oh my God.
00:25:43Get some towels.
00:25:45Yeah, it's crazy.
00:25:47The super says there won't be water or power for like at least a week, maybe two.
00:25:51Jeez, that sucks.
00:25:53Do you need a place to stay?
00:25:55Yeah, yeah, that would be great, Adam.
00:25:57A buddy of mine from work, he has a guest house.
00:25:59I'll give you his contact info.
00:26:02Right, right.
00:26:03Thanks.
00:26:05I told you, you could call me anytime you need help.
00:26:16I soaked up most of the water, but they're going to need to completely rip out most of
00:26:20your plumbing.
00:26:21Can't catch a break, huh?
00:26:24Do you have some place to go?
00:26:27Yeah, I'll figure it out.
00:26:28Don't, don't worry about me.
00:26:30I'm definitely going to worry about you.
00:26:31You can't stay here.
00:26:32No, I'll be fine.
00:26:34Look, I don't want to be weird, but I have a second bedroom.
00:26:39Do you want to stay with me?
00:26:42Really?
00:26:44What are friends for?
00:26:50Here we are.
00:26:53I really hope I'm not imposing.
00:26:56Not at all.
00:26:57Seriously, make yourself at home.
00:26:58The place is all yours.
00:27:00Bathroom's right down the hall.
00:27:02Do you have everything you need?
00:27:06Yes, thank you.
00:27:10I can't believe you're coming to my rescue yet again.
00:27:24Can I go?
00:27:28Good night, Jake.
00:27:32Oh, sorry.
00:27:40I thought you were sleeping.
00:27:41All good.
00:27:42Need anything?
00:27:43Oh, yeah, I just wanted a glass of water.
00:27:47Want a beer, dude?
00:27:51Yeah, why not?
00:28:02What are you reading?
00:28:06Case files.
00:28:07It's been a string of burglaries.
00:28:09Hopper House.
00:28:11That's what we call it when a burglary happens,
00:28:13when the home or business is occupied.
00:28:15This one actually happened at a clothing store on Main Street.
00:28:19Not too far away from where you work.
00:28:20Oh, geez.
00:28:22I really want to catch this guy before someone gets hurt.
00:28:26What are you going to do if you catch him?
00:28:29Get an act, I mean.
00:28:31In the act?
00:28:34Here, let me show you.
00:28:38Okay.
00:28:42If you're being attacked, the first thing you need to do is stay calm.
00:28:47Now, let's say your attacker has a gun.
00:28:52In that situation,
00:28:57you're going to want to do two things.
00:29:01First thing, wait for an opening and then get him off balance.
00:29:10Good, that was really good.
00:29:11Yeah?
00:29:12Yeah, you're a quick learner.
00:29:15Oh, you're a good teacher.
00:29:20Sorry, I'm probably crushing you.
00:29:22I don't mind.
00:29:26Right, right, Mr. Complicator.
00:29:32Yes, thank you for the lesson.
00:29:37It's good.
00:29:39Okay, weirdo.
00:29:42You want another beer?
00:29:44Oh, no, I'm pretty tired.
00:29:47I'm going to go read a book in bed.
00:29:49Sure.
00:29:50Okay, goodbye, goodnight.
00:30:01Cheeky!
00:30:07Aunt Shelly, what are you doing here?
00:30:09I told you I'd pop by.
00:30:13You must be the girlfriend.
00:30:18That's me.
00:30:19Oh, I'm so happy to meet you.
00:30:21I thought my nephew was going to be alone forever.
00:30:25All right, Aunt Shelly, let her breathe.
00:30:27Of course, of course, silly me.
00:30:30Please, Aunt Shelly, take a seat.
00:30:32Can I get you a cup of coffee?
00:30:33Yes, please, dear.
00:30:35Okay.
00:30:36Hopefully your lovely girlfriend's manners will rub off on you, young man.
00:30:39Believe me, I'm working on it.
00:30:42I like her already.
00:30:51So, Noel, I want to know everything.
00:30:54What do you do, sweetie?
00:30:56I work in a bookstore.
00:30:57Don't be modest, babe.
00:30:59She has her M.I.L.S. degree.
00:31:01That's so impressive.
00:31:02I'm looking for jobs at university libraries.
00:31:05I want to make a real contribution to my field.
00:31:07Ever since my favorite book went out of print when I was a kid,
00:31:10I've just been obsessed with researching and archiving.
00:31:13You don't have to explain it to me.
00:31:14Practically the whole family's in academia.
00:31:17You should have seen Jake's parents' library.
00:31:20It was enormous.
00:31:21Oh, what was the book called?
00:31:23The Runaway Sardine.
00:31:24I've been looking for it for a long time, but it's impossible to find.
00:31:28Oh, I love that book.
00:31:29I used to read it to Liam Oliver all the time when he was growing up.
00:31:33Oh, that's Jake's cousin, my son.
00:31:35You'll meet him at the wedding.
00:31:37Wedding?
00:31:39Jake, you didn't tell her about the wedding?
00:31:42Okay, well, this has been a very nice visit, but we have to go to work, so...
00:31:47Oh, of course.
00:31:49I'll see you after then.
00:31:49We can do dinner.
00:31:52What do you mean?
00:31:53Well, obviously I'm staying over.
00:31:55I came all this way.
00:31:57I'm going to stay a few nights with my nephew.
00:31:59Oh, don't worry.
00:32:00I won't crowd you lovebirds.
00:32:13This is fine, right?
00:32:16Yeah.
00:32:18She needs the spare bedroom, so...
00:32:24We can make a barrier.
00:32:27Yeah.
00:32:37Great, yeah.
00:32:53So you think we convinced her?
00:32:55Yeah, definitely.
00:32:57Hey, lucky you.
00:32:58Didn't even have to kiss me.
00:33:00It wasn't so bad the last time.
00:33:03Last time?
00:33:06Uh, yeah, it's just, um...
00:33:10Okay, I don't know how to tell you this.
00:33:13That night you came over really drunk.
00:33:15You kind of grabbed my face and kissed me.
00:33:18Oh my god, oh my god.
00:33:19Only for a second, though.
00:33:20And then I pulled away.
00:33:21I didn't want to take advantage of you.
00:33:24Sounds like I took advantage of you.
00:33:26No, it's totally fine.
00:33:28I'm so embarrassed.
00:33:29Hey.
00:33:31Don't be.
00:33:33I liked it.
00:33:36You did?
00:33:53Um...
00:33:55This is okay, right?
00:33:56Okay.
00:34:12No, no, um, you must not.
00:34:17Just hold on, um...
00:34:22I really like you.
00:34:23It's, um...
00:34:25Oh my god.
00:34:26I'm not rejecting you.
00:34:27I'm not.
00:34:29I like you a lot.
00:34:31You're smart, you're funny, and...
00:34:33I'm really attracted to you.
00:34:35That's what?
00:34:37It's just that, uh...
00:34:39I got a lot of complicated going on right now.
00:34:42And I don't want to mislead you.
00:34:45So I just want to be clear.
00:34:47If you're looking for something casual,
00:34:49I'm your guy, but...
00:34:53I can't give you anything else.
00:34:55Um...
00:34:59Fuck.
00:35:04Why does this always happen?
00:35:06What?
00:35:10Men like me enough to want to be with me, but never to commit to me.
00:35:13No, that's not it, I swear.
00:35:15Oh, let me guess.
00:35:16It's not you, it's me.
00:35:20Yeah, they always say that too.
00:35:21Good night, Jane.
