Carter

Officer Mailer.

Leona.

Harley Carter, Vijay Gill,...

...here to see Detective Sam Shaw.

Is she expecting you?

Well, she's usually one step ahead of me,...

...so yeah, she probably is.

You know what? We'll just let ourselves in.

Thank you.

No. Excuse me, Mr. Carter.

No civilians allowed past this point.

I'm not sure if I'd call me a civilian.

I mean, I am a regular guy,

...blah, blah, blah, but I...

...did help you guys crack a pretty big case recently.

We get assistance from many people in the community.

Okay, I'm sorry. "Get assistance"?

Mr. Carter here cracked that case wide open.

And now your mayor is asking him to join the police force.

Easy, big guy. Easy.

I've been asked to consult.

Officially asked to consult.

I'm sure the whole station is buzzing about it.

Okay. You know what?

Why don't you just ask Sam if we can take her to lunch?

I'll see if I can track her down.

Thanks.

Can we talk about Bobby Sobelman?

Please don't tell me this about his son's bar mitzvah again?

He'd really like you to be there.

I'm not flying all the way to L.A....

...just to kiss the butt of the head of the studio, okay?

Plus his son is like, super weird.

Every time I see him he yells "candy!"...

...and then he jams his hand in my pocket.

Starts fishing around.

- It's totally inappropriate. - Okay, look.

You know this is not about the bar mitzvah, right?

Bobby is worried that you're going to spend your whole hiatus...

...up here and not come back.

He just wants to hear from you face to face...

...that you are committed to Call Carter.

I'm committed, okay?

We don't have to seal the deal by letting some...

...thirteen-year-old kid jam his hand in down my pants!...

That's a-that's a euphemism.

Like, a Hollywood euphemism.

But, you are coming back, right?

After the hiatus?

Sure. Probably.

You have no idea how alarming the word 'probably' is to me right now.

I'm coming back.

Yeah. You didn't say probably that time, but I heard it.

You're going to take the mayor's offer, aren't you?

I have to talk to Sam first.

Okay. Great. That is a great idea,...

...but how do I talk to Bobby Sobelman?

I don't know.

Figure it out, okay?

That's what you're paid the medium sized bucks.

What are you doing here?

I was going to take you out to lunch, and...

...Vijay is going to drive us.

- Hey, Detective Shaw. - Hi, Vijay.

Well, you should have called. I have a thing.

A thing? What do you have a date or something?

Not something. You have a date.

No, a good friend of mine is getting an EMTy.

An empty what?

No, an EMTy. An E-M-T.

Emergency Medical Technician Award.

It's actually a bit of a deal, an EMTy.

Yeah. That name is really working against them.

Alright.

Well, how about dinner?

We can talk about your latest cases? Swap theories?

I'd also love to...

...talk to you about this offer from the Mayor.

Hold it. You're not...

...you're not thinking of taking her up on that, are you?

Well, I want to talk to you about it first.

Okay, yeah, we definitely need to talk,...

...but I can't right now, I gotta go.

Okay? Call me.

Hey, how about I use those medium sized bucks...

...and buy you lunch?

Yeah, let's get out of here.

Okay, hey, come on,...

this isn't a good time, guys.

Thank you, welcome to Bishop, welcome to Bishop.

Was not expecting that.

How does my hair look?

Perfect. 10/10.

- Okay, you sure? - Yeah.

You have a nice glisten.

Yeah, I feel a little sweaty.

Am I too sweaty? Just the right amount.

Alright. We gotta check those pics.

- Detective Carter? - Okay.

It's always great to meet a fan but...

- Mister-not-detective-is - I'm so sorry,...

I'm late for a thing with somebody, I'm sorry.

Why don't you write to us...

...and then we'll write to you like they used to do?

Wait, wait, wait, please!

Please, please! I have something for you.

- I'm sorry! - Detective Carter, please.

You will lose in five if you do that.

And if I don't?

You lose in seven.

You're losing your touch, Dot.

Hey, do you guys remember...

...when you took me to Algonquin Park to go camping?

And on day three you went all Old Testament on deer flies.

Because on day two you boo hooing about bug bites.

Is it weird that every time I see a dead fly I think of home?

Of course, it's weird.

You're a weirdo.

Great bonding time guys.

I got it.

You really want that autograph, don't you?

I need your help, Detective Carter.

It's my mom.

She's been murdered.

Okay, listen.

Brett, right?

You gotta go to the police.

I've seen every episode of your show, Detective Carter.

Yes. That's... that's Charlie Carter,...

...that's a character I play on TV.

I am Harley Carter. I—I can see how that's confusing.

But listen man, you gotta go to the police.

No. No, no, no. No. I can't go to the police.

They won't believe me.

You're the only one who can help me.

Please.

You say it's your mom?

Yeah.

Alright, come on.

Thank you.

What is your full name?

Brett Johnson, Detective Carter.

- It's Harley. Remember? - Right.

I have something to show you.

Jeez!

I'd be real picky what you pull out of that bag.

I will call the police.

No, it's only... It's only for my protection.

Really. Look, someone killed my mom.

I'm in danger, too.

Alright. Hold up, Koji.

What were you gonna show us?

He was going to show you a bullet in the face.

Dot! Chill.

Show us.

That's, that's my mom.

Mary Johnson.

You look a just like her.

Also...

...this.

It was my mom's.

She gave it to me the day that she died.

It's beautiful.

Tell us what happened.

She was killed in a fire.

At the Hancock paint factory.

You were there?

Yeah, I knew she was in there.

And when I saw the flames,...

...I went after her.

But it was too hot.

I tried. I really did but, I was too late.

We're so sorry for your loss.

But what makes you think this was murder?

Well, the police said that it was arson.

So whoever set the fire killed her.

Please. Detective Carter

Sorry, Harley.

Harley, please.

Please.

Alright, I can't make any promises, but...

...I will look into it.

Okay, yes, thank you!

You're doing what?

I'm just asking around.

I think this woman was murdered.

Died in a fire at the Hancock paint factory.

Is this your new of chit chat?

"Hey, good afternoon, Dave.

Little windy today.

Check it out, it's a picture of a dead woman."

Her son gave it to me.

Harley, what are you doing?

Cause you already have a job.

- You sound like Vijay. - Vijay?

Is that little Muppet still around?

He's my Muppet sidekick.

You are the real deal.

Can I give you some advice?

Referring to your friends as sidekicks...
