Impawster Syndrome (2022)

John Reardon: Charlie Hudson

Quotes 

• Sarah Truong : Exactly and since he was wearing a mask and gloves, this footprint here is the only piece of forensics we've got. Looks like it came from a high-top sneaker.

  Charlie Hudson : Okay. So where are we going to start looking for our thief? An arcade or a hipster bar?

• Jesse Mills : I wanted to get through this CCTV footage first.

  Sarah Truong : The getaway car.

  Charlie Hudson : Looks a bit like yours.

  Jesse Mills : Wouldn't that be my luck?

  Sup. Joseph Donovan : There's our man.

  Sarah Truong : Is there something you want to tell us, Jesse?

  Jesse Mills : That's not me.

  Sup. Joseph Donovan : I mean that looks just like you. And your stolen car!

  Jesse Mills : No. No no, no way. Okay, first of all, the license plates aren't visible. So there's no way to tell that it's mine and also there are a lot of these sedans out there.

  Sarah Truong : You've got to admit it's a pretty big coincidence.

  Jesse Mills : Guys. Seriously, you don't think I actually did this, do you? Guys.

  Sup. Joseph Donovan : Oh, you should see your face. Come on. Of course we don't think it's you.

  Charlie Hudson : That's uncanny. You've got a doppelganger.

• Charlie Hudson : Several people have seen you loitering in the area this week.

  Casey Ridley : Loitering? Location scouting. Since when is that a crime, Detective?

  Charlie Hudson : Since over a hundred thousand dollars was snatched from an armoured vehicle in front of the bank yesterday.

• Charlie Hudson : You got any high top sneakers?

  Casey Ridley : Wouldn't be caught dead in those.

• Yazmin : Is questioning new girlfriends standard procedure or something?

  Charlie Hudson : Yeah. When they're found with a gun from a robbery.

• Jesse Mills : It's good to see someone's got my back, huh?

  Charlie Hudson : He's been missing you. He came down here by himself.

  Jesse Mills : Yeah, well he must have missed the treats in my desk.

• Charlie Hudson : You want to take that down, I've had nightmares like that before.

• Charlie Hudson : Casey Ridley was Livestreaming. How are you in two places at once?

• Charlie Hudson : Okay, in the meantime, I need you to see whatever you can find on Casey's co-conspirator. Sierra said that a woman called asking for that video.

  Imari Johnson : Wait, I remember seeing a woman when I was checking his socials.

  Charlie Hudson : That's Yazmin.

  Sarah Truong : Jesse's not gonna like that.

• Charlie Hudson : So, you saw the accident. Then just went out into the street to take a video?

  Sierra Reyes : Yeah, well it happened right in front of my boat. So I figured it was the right thing to do. Someone might need it for their insurance.

  Charlie Hudson : Right. So putting it on the Internet for everybody to gawk at was that an act of kindness too?

• Sierra Reyes : You know I heard online that the guy works for the SJPD.

  Charlie Hudson : Well, you can't believe everything you read on the Internet.

• Sup. Joseph Donovan : Imari, I need you to gather all the evidence we have so far. IA wants it ASAP.

  Charlie Hudson : Wait a second. Wait. What happened to us handling this?

  Sup. Joseph Donovan : Charlie, my hands are tied! This is a PR nightmare for the force!

  Charlie Hudson : Okay, but... but if the media learns that IA is investigating, they're going to take that as an admission of Jesse's guilt!

• Charlie Hudson : If the shoe fits huh?

• Charlie Hudson : Good to have you back, Jesse.

• Charlie Hudson : Here's your last chance to cut a deal before we close in on your partner.

  Casey Ridley : You're never going to find her. And this isn't over by a long shot.

• Charlie Hudson : Jesse, I need you to come down here now so we can deal with this. Rex.

  Jesse Mills : Tell that to the snipers across the street, Charlie!

  Charlie Hudson : Jesse, we're not going to let anything happen to you, okay? You are part of this team. We've got your back. And if it didn't seem like that earlier, I'm sorry.

• Charlie Hudson : Hey, Jesse. You okay?

  Jesse Mills : Yeah. Yeah, I'm better than okay. Let's go catch who did this to me.

• Charlie Hudson : You want to do the honours?

  Jesse Mills : Yeah. Yeah, I would. Chelsea Laidlaw, you're under arrest. You know what? It's nice to finally put a face to the poker player.

  Chelsea Laidlaw : Yeah, I can't say the same.

• Jesse Mills : I've got to ask, was that worth all this trouble? So, I beat you at poker a few times.

  Chelsea Laidlaw : You drained my crypto savings in a single weekend. Twenty-five grand, gone.

  Charlie Hudson : I'd say you took about three times that in the robbery.

  Chelsea Laidlaw : I figured I was owed interest.

  Jesse Mills : Okay, well, you know what? Don't gamble more than you're willing to lose. That is on you.

• Charlie Hudson : You're better under pressure than I thought.

  Jesse Mills : Yeah, well there's more to me than you give me credit for, Charlie.

  Charlie Hudson : Okay. I'm sorry I didn't believe you from the start.

  Jesse Mills : No, I get it. It's hard to wrap your head around the two versions of me floating out there.

  Charlie Hudson : I count three. There's one that Chelsea created and then there's the Jesse I had in my head. They were both fake. I just want the real one from now on, okay?

• Jesse Mills : I got absolutely nothing.

  Charlie Hudson : Um, didn't somebody just try and ruin your life because of your incredible poker skills?

  Sarah Truong : Yeah, really. I expected more.

  Jesse Mills : Yeah, well, I mean, it's easier to bluff on a computer screen. Plus, Rex over here knows all my tells.

• Charlie Hudson : You see anybody suspicious before the pickup?

  Guard : No but I did see a guy the last couple times we've been here hanging around on his phone.

  Charlie Hudson : Really? He wasn't here tonight though?

  Guard : No. I don't see how someone not being here helps.

• Sarah Truong : What did the guard have to say?

  Charlie Hudson : Well, that he was having a bad day on the job, and, in his line of work, that means he loses a hundred and twelve grand.

  Sarah Truong : Well, it could've been worse. There are still five or six bags of cash in there.

  Charlie Hudson : Really?

  Sarah Truong : Yeah.

  Charlie Hudson : I've never heard of armed robbers showing restraint.

• Charlie Hudson : I've got a great local place for your travel vlog. It's called Her Majesty's Penitentiary.

• Charlie Hudson : I'm just trying to forget that we're talking about Jesse and focus on the evidence.

  Sarah Truong : Yeah. And?

  Charlie Hudson : Well, I mean it doesn't look good.

  Sarah Truong : Yeah, sure. Maybe with a purely objective eye but I mean this is Jesse. We know he didn't do this and we can explain the dye on the shoes.

  Charlie Hudson : Well, unless he walked through it at the scene to hide the fact that he stepped in it at the robbery.

  Sarah Truong : Okay. So, now he's a criminal mastermind? Charlie.

  Charlie Hudson : No, I'm just saying there's a lot of evidence here.

  Jesse Mills : So much for clearing me before lunch, I guess.

• Charlie Hudson : You know, with any luck, we should have you cleared by... lunch?

• Charlie Hudson : This bumper's been pretty seriously damaged. He's rear-ended somebody.

  Sarah Truong : It fits with Jesse's story about the car being stolen.

  Charlie Hudson : Yeah.

  Sarah Truong : He's never had so much as a parking ticket.

• Sarah Truong : That is definitely not Jesse's.

  Charlie Hudson : No, it is not. That's the first good news we've had today.

• Charlie Hudson : I don't know what I expecting from your place but I definitely thought it would involve a lot more action figures.

• Jesse Mills : Look, if you guys actually think I did something like this, then... I don't know, maybe you should leave.

  Sarah Truong : No, no. Jesse.

  Jesse Mills : No, I said go! Seriously.

  Charlie Hudson : Rex.

  Jesse Mills : Rex, you too. Rex, you should go.

• Sarah Truong : A search warrant? Really?

  Charlie Hudson : If Jessie's not going to help us, we don't have a choice.

  Sup. Joseph Donovan : It's better for us to dig into his life than Internal Affairs.

  Sarah Truong : But we're still in agreement that Jesse didn't do this, right?

• Sarah Truong : If I take your approach, forgetting we're talking about Jesse and just looking at the evidence...

  Charlie Hudson : Something's not right here.

  Sarah Truong : What do you mean?

  Charlie Hudson : Jesse not naive enough to keep a shotgun in his house especially after last night.

• Sarah Truong : Since when is Jesse coy about his love life?

  Charlie Hudson : Well, since when does Jesse play online poker or live in an apartment with no action figures?

• Jesse Mills : Oh my God! Yaz? Guys, she's not a suspect! She's my girlfriend!

  Sarah Truong : We didn't know that you were seeing somebody.

  Jesse Mills : Yeah, I am and she has nothing to do with this!

  Charlie Hudson : Well, we need to talk to her to make sure that that's true.

  Jesse Mills : I want to be here.

  Charlie Hudson : You can't be anywhere near this, Jesse.

• Jesse Mills : So, it's true. They are dating.

  Charlie Hudson : Let's find out what else is true.
