Try to Remember

I bet you'd look good in that.

Why don't I buy it for you?

As if my dad would ever

let me wear a dress like that.

Well, Daddy doesn't need

to know everything you do, does he?

Not everything.

Good.

A buddy of mine is having a party.

Why don't we go check it out?

I heard you like to party.

Let me see if I can ditch my friend.

What is it?

God, don't!

Flushing Hills, 1-10-4.

Status.

No, don't!

Let me out of here!

No, please stop, no!

No!

Shut up!

Thanks.

Hey, I wanted to slay the fatted cow for you,

but Joe said you wanted to slip in under the radar.

Joe's right.

Well, good luck.

This is Milford, remember.

You get mice, it's news.

Lucky I keep a clean kitchen.

Oh, are you planning to moonlight

as a biology teacher, are you?

Well, that's a thought.

Well, I hope you learned to make coffee

at that fancy crime school.

I don't drink coffee.

Oh, you don't have to drink it to make it, Lisa.

You do in this outfit.

And it's Detective Monroe, until she says otherwise.

Oh, all right.

I don't remember him being so brutish when we were kids.

Ah, he's old school.

I think all this makes him a bit uncomfortable.

Oh, you mean threatening.

Old school guys don't get threatened.

They get even.

Well, I was under the impression that I was here

to drag this outfit into the 21st century.

Right, drag away.

So is it against policy in Detroit

to hug a fellow detective?

Yeah,

but we're not in Detroit.

It's good to have you back.

You look, uh,

older.

Thanks.

Better, older and better.

I mean, you look better than when you left for college.

Well, 12 years will do that to you.

So, everything's okay here aside from Kling?

Just like home.

Is there something you wanna tell me?

This is lousy timing,

but Jake Mitchell was paroled two weeks ago.

I thought you should know.

It was bound to happen.

So I thought maybe we could get some dinner tonight.

Talk about the two changes that have happened

in Milford over the last 12 years.

I promised to make a grocery run for my grandma.

Now that I'm back, she has family again, I--

That's, that's fine.

Tell her I said hi.

I will.

Okay.

She's not much of a cook.

If you can wait 'til nine,

I could go for some Chinese takeout.

Hello, Grandma, are you home?

Grandma Lou?

Mm!

I hope you don't mind if I don't join you.

I'm having a late dinner with Joe O'Conner.

I like Joe.

He always asked about you every time I saw him.

How do you think he found you in Detroit?

Let's have a little drink to celebrate your reunion, hm?

Grandma, diabetics aren't supposed to drink alcohol.

Oh, now you just relax.

I know how to regulate my insulin.

I've been doing it for the better part of 40 years.

Remember Gammy's words to live by.

Go to your grave with no regrets.

You're a real trip, Grandma.

Speaking of trips, I saw that green car again

at the doughnut shop yesterday.

It's been following me.

What do you mean following you?

What do you think I mean?

I see it everywhere I go.

Now I want you to check him out for me.

All right.

Give me the number and I'll run his plates.

Can you believe this?

I don't remember where I put it.

Well, when you find it, you let me know.

Grandma, you know they paroled Jake Mitchell?

He's living in Milford again.

How they can let a man like that out

of prison is just beyond me.

It doesn't make much sense to me either, and I'm a cop.

Oh, Jenny was such a sweet girl.

I remember that day like it happened this morning.

I was driving home from bingo.

Hey!

Jenny, are you okay?

What happened?

I don't know.

It just conked out.

Let me give you a ride home.

It's okay.

My lucky day.

I thought she'd be all right.

I thought he was there to help her.

Oh that poor, little girl,

little Jenny.

There's no way you could have known

what would happen, Grandma.

There's no way any of us could have known.

Joe, you scared the--

Sorry, guess I'm early.

Hope there's shrimp in there.

Ha, I'm a man of my word.

What kind of cop would I be to show up without shrimp?

So when I graduated college, I took the first job

I was offered as a criminologist.

I never intended to stay in Detroit as long as I did.

But when you grow up in Milford,

Detroit feels like it's halfway across the world.

I know what you mean.

Take the bus.

It feels longer than that.

No way.

You took the bus from Milford?

Are you nuts?

I told you we're on a small budget.

Don't get me started on the motel.

So,

why'd you come looking for me?

Why not find someone closer?

Two reasons.

I couldn't think of anyone that was closer

to Milford than you were.

What's the second reason?

Nobody else in town likes

Shrimp Szechuan with garlic sauce.

Somebody that you know and love

won't forget to take their medicine.

That's very important.

I'm sorry, but my grandma used to--

Oh dear!

Thanks for everything.

You're welcome.

See you tomorrow, Lieutenant O'Conner.

Good night, Detective Monroe!

Hello, Grandma Lou.

Hello?

Grandma?

Can you hear me?

Answer.

Answer the phone.

Grandma!

Grandma?

Grandma?

Grandma, wake up!

This is Detective Monroe.

I need an ambulance,

1120 Clifton Avenue, a woman, 70s, unconscious.

Please, hurry.

There's no pulse.

What do we got, Stu?

It looks pretty straightforward.

There's no sign of a break-in.

It doesn't look like a robbery.

Only forced entry was your new detective.

Cause of death?

Oh, because of her age, the paramedics thinks

it was a heart attack or insulin shock from the diabetes.

Oh boy.

No no, I'm gonna try--

Hey, careful, Joe!

Detective Monroe doesn't want anything disturbed.

Lisa, I'm really sorry.

I know how special Louise was to you.

She was so excited about my coming home.

Look, you, you don't have to do this.

Why don't you go home and let us handle it?

No, I'm okay, Joe, really.

I need to do this.

She kept a secret, hidden key under a gnome in the garden.
