- What's your name? - Kirsten.

- I'm Cameron. - Cameron met a girl.

Her name is Nina.

- Wait, does Kirsten know about Nina? - She does now.

I don't want things to be awkward between us

and I want to protect our friendship.

The boy is here.

- The red cap kid? - Yeah!

Liam Granger is a soft target.

I need to find out what his role is

and who he's playing for.

- Camille? - Liam!

Oh, my God!

Liam believes my joining his gym was a coincidence.

- And Linus? - Wanna do somethin'?

I have this huge optogenetics project due.

I hate lying to him.

Well, the less he knows, the safer he is.

What I really want to do is find that son-of-a-bitch father of mine

and bring him to karmic justice.

My father had a first wife. Elizabeth.

Elizabeth Stinger got remarried

and changed her name to Elizabeth Brown.

There are over 250 listings

in California alone under that name.

Are you sure?

Yes.

It's not too late to change your mind.

Never been more sure of anything in my life.

Ooh...

- You are correct. - Mm!

"Don't cross the streams" is, in fact, Ghostbusters.

"We should never come here again"

"because it would never be as much fun."

- Lost in Translation. - That's too easy.

Oh, my gosh.

- Is that work? - No, it's...

my alarm... to get up for work.

Did we really just stay up all night talking movies?

No, we started with video games.

- Oh, yes, yes. - And then we, uh,

leisurely made our way to best comic book superhero team.

- Avengers. - We are not having this discussion.

Uh, Justice League. And then...

Ugh!

And then we went out for a delicious, uh...

- Ugh. - Pre-dawn snacks.

Pastrami hotdog I'm going to regret in about three hours.

And then we ended up pulling our first all-nighter.

All-nighter.

That was the most fun I've had in a really long time.

Me too.

Do you wanna come over to my place tonight after work?

You know, just because you come over doesn't mean

I want you staying indefinitely.

I just gotta get ready for work.

I'm being that guy right now, aren't I?

- Little bit. - I'm sorry.

Look, I don't mean to give you mixed signals.

Just it's late, it's... it's early.

- Come on. - Relax, okay?

I'm just saying it would be nice.

Coco!

Coco!

Stitchers - 02x06 - The Dying Shame

Hi, is this Elizabeth Brown?

I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm looking for a man

named Daniel Stinger. Do you know him?

Are... are you sure?

My name's Kirsten.

I'm looking for a man named Daniel Stinger.

Stinger? Uh, well... well, it's "S" as in... Sam...

Hi, is this Elizabeth Brown?

"R".

No, no.

No, no, no, it's... it... "R."

O... okay. Can... can you tell me if... if, uh,

either of them were, uh, previously married?

Uh, to a man.

Thank you so much for your help.

Don't you think it's time you came up for some air?

- Or food? - No.

No, I'm fine.

I just have to figure this out, you know,

and Elizabeth Brown is the key, so...

Honey, Elizabeth Brown is one of many keys,

including but not limited to good hygiene,

proper nutrition, and not obsessing,

all of which you could afford to pay more attention to.

Particularly, that last one.

Okay. Take a shower.

Let's go to work.

Okay.

But you know what?

There is actually nothing wrong with my hygiene.

Look. I'm fine.

Mm, I don't know.

Okay, time is of the essence on this one,

so let's dive right in.

That's Coco Soo.

- Coco who? - Uh, Coco Soo.

She's the biggest pop star in China. Ever.

How do you know about her?

Forgive me for knowing about international pop culture.

I'm not interrupting you all, am I?

Coco was in Los Angeles for the opening leg

of her first U.S. tour.

Ten cities in three weeks.

Her fans are gonna be devastated when they find out.

What?

Last night, Coco was found in her dressing room

by her body guard, Mei Ling...

Who was passed out and possibly drunk

during the murder.

Authorities are en route

to retrieve Coco's body for her husband

and bring Mei Ling back to face charges.

- That's her husband? - Liang Soo.

Zillionare industrialist. He bankrolled Coco's career.

Liang Soo is well connected in high places in China.

We have a small window to find Coco's killer

and keep this from becoming

a festering, international incident.

Should we be concerned you know so much

about a Chinese pop star?

Nina?

Hm? Oh.

Uh, yeah.

You know, you... you can talk about her around me.

It doesn't have to be super awkward.

I know. It's just...

weird talking to you about another girl.

Cameron, we're friends. It's fine.

I'm totally cool with it.

- Really? - Mm-hmm.

Good. I mean...

I... I think you'd like her.

You guys should... meet.

Yeah! I would love to.

Right now, I... I'm just, um...

kind of using all of my spare time

to, like, dig up a lead on Elizabeth Brown.

Yeah, no, and I understand you're trying to find

your father and get some closure,

but I think you obsessing over this is what's causing

the boy in the red cap anomalies in your stitches.

The boy in the red cap is there.

I'm not imagining things.

Wait, have you...

Have you talked to Maggie about this?

No, and I'd rather not,

but if the worry starts to get real...

I'm gonna have to.

You know... I'd actually... I...

I would actually love to meet Nina.

What are you guys doing tonight?

Dinner? I'll cook.

Oh. We could just order in.

No, no, no, no. I'll cook. It'll be fun.

7:00?

Yeah.

- Great. - Yeah.

All right. Well, um, I mean, I've told her, like, everything about you.

- Really? - You're... Yeah.

You're gonna... You're gonna love her.

Hey.

Is everything okay?

I couldn't help but notice

you've been a little distracted lately.

Oh.

Well, I mean...

I mean, after all that drama with Theo, yeah.

I... I have just kind of wanted a little bit of me time

to recharge, you know?

Me time. I... I totally get it.

I'm totally down with me time

as long as it's not code for "There's something I have to tell you."

It's not.

Good.

Well, maybe we can squeeze in some us time soon?

Sure.

Great.

Maybe I should take you off your assignment.

It's taking an emotional toll.

I can handle it.

I didn't mean an emotional toll on you.

I've put in way too much time grooming Liam to stop now.

All right.

Mission clock to five minutes.

Induce stitch neurosync on my mark.

In three, two, one, mark!

You looked great out there.

You looked even better yesterday with your boyfriend.

I know you don't speak English, but this you'll understand.

You want that?

Hey, give me 200,000.

Dollars, not yuan.

Coco's being blackmailed by a paparazzo creep.

He's, uh, got a picture of her with some guy
