flannel in Los Angeles

and secondly,

a lot can be gleaned

from watching Sherlock Holmes.

- Can you get us a list?

- No.

Why not?

My job is to escort you

to ID your brother's body...

- No, Jake...

- I'm not investigating a crime.

They're not gonna release

his body if we don't find out

what happened to him, you heard

them, people were after him.

My job is also to keep you safe.

- You're my responsibility.

- My brother wasn't unhinged!

You haven't seen him

for three years.

Okay, fine, what's next?

- The airport hotel.

- What?

Look, I'm sorry

about your brother

but we're not here

to play detective.

You're getting

on that plane tomorrow.

JAKE:
I'm not putting you

in danger.

I wanna stay at David's hotel.

- No.

- Please!

Please, I can feel him there

and after tomorrow,

he's gonna be gone

and maybe you

can't understand that...

No!

We're not here

in an official capacity.

I'm sorry,

there are no rooms available.

Um...

we just need a place to stay.

For one night.

Queen-size bed?

- Two rooms.

- Two rooms.

[ELEVATOR CHIMES]

- Sure you're gonna be okay?

- Yep, there's a pool,

and I brought a swimsuit,

it helps me relax.

Good, you do that, you relax.

- Let the police do their work.

- Yep.

[TUBE LIGHT BUZZING]

RACHEL:
Two toothbrushes...

one of them

could be that woman's.

Yeah, of course there's no way

to know for sure

but, Ruthie, I found lingerie.

RACHEL:
Red, lacy,

sexy, just the kind that a woman

who makes scenes

in public would wear.

Yeah, okay, what does Agent

"what's-his-name" think?

He doesn't think.

All he does is follow the rules

and say, "no."

It sounds a little crazy, Rach.

I know, I know, it is crazy.

And David was sometimes

a little crazy.

Ruthie, I can't leave

until I find out what happened

to David.

All right, but, Rachel, be safe.

Okay.

[GIGGLING]

[ECHOES]

David!

[SHOWER RUNNING]

[WHISTLING]

[WHISTLING CONTINUES]

- Hey.

- Ah!

- Something wrong?

- Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry...

- you scared me.

- I look that bad?

No, you look great.

There's a place

across the street

if you want to grab

dinner later.

Done.

Would you be offended

if I ordered a drink?

No, why would that offend me?

Because you're a Muslim, right?

You don't know many Muslims,

do you?

Please, have a drink, have two.

I'd join you, but I'm

on the job.

Yeah...

don't want to break any

of those State Department rules.

Can I take a rain check, though?

[ARABIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[INDISTINCTIVE CHATTER]

You ever hear the joke

about the Jew and the Muslim...

who went into a bar?

No.

Nor did I.

I don't think there is one.

I Googled it once.

I had to give a toast

at a friend's bachelor party.
