00:00I don't understand. You didn't get any footage from the party?
00:09No, I got plenty of footage. Oodles of footage.
00:11Just not in the last hour, because I left to follow a lead.
00:16A suspect.
00:17Well, despite our best efforts,
00:19Vinick is now fully aware that someone here hates his guts.
00:23I will remind you both that if we don't secure this donation,
00:26Wheeler College may just disappear off the map.
00:31Pepto coffee? It's disgusting.
00:33No. I'm good.
00:34We should review everything you got from the time of the fire, just to be sure.
00:37Yeah, I already tried. It's not useful.
00:42I think the file got corrupted or something.
00:45But let's focus on the positives.
00:47I mean, we have a big new clue.
00:49The note. The original threat was emailed,
00:52but this is in the blackmailer's own handwriting.
00:55Okay. I have a source, a former con artist who specializes in this kind of thing.
00:59Forgeries, ransom notes. Lives nearby, so I'll head there now.
01:03I'll go with you.
01:05Okay.
01:08I'm so excited.
01:10My first meeting with an underworld source.
01:12Huh. Julie. What a surprise.
01:18Hi, Apollo. Is she in?
01:20Maybe. But first, you've got to do something for me.
01:24Read the first 600 pages of my novel and tell me honestly if it's too close to Little Women.
01:30Okay. Bye, Apollo.
01:31What? No. Come on. Come on. You'll read it later, okay?
01:34It's a story of four sisters who lived during Civil War times in New England,
01:38but not the Civil War you're thinking about.
01:41Vanessa! Julie's here!
01:43Hey. Who's this?
01:46He, uh, works with me.
01:48I need you to look at something.
01:50Oh, of course. Um, hang on. Let me get my glasses.
01:53I'm Charles, by the way.
01:54Oh, hey. Apollo Lombrakis.
01:57I live here. Sexually.
01:59Oh, well, congratulations.
02:00Oh, thanks. It's great.
02:02Just getting a little painting done right now.
02:04I'm a contractor by trade.
02:05If you need anything at all, just give me a call.
02:08What's happening here?
02:09Oh, yeah. I found a whole box of these in a dumpster.
02:12I don't know who Dr. Lucy Patterson is.
02:14I'm assuming she's dead.
02:15Whoa. Is that the case you're working on?
02:17Wait a minute. Am I a suspect?
02:19I had nothing to do with it, Charles.
02:20No. No, no. No, you're fine.
02:22Okay. That's a relief, huh?
02:23You hungry?
02:24I got baby carrots and I got hummus.
02:27It's organic.
02:29Wow. That seems a little risky.
02:31No, not really.
02:32I just got to keep them straight.
02:34This one's hummus.
02:35This one's paint.
02:37Huh.
02:38Now, hang on.
02:42Ooh.
02:43Ah.
02:45This is my bad.
02:47They're both hummus.
02:48No wonder this room smells delicious.
02:50You take it off?
02:51I'll talk to you later, Charles.
02:52So I'm guessing whoever wrote this
02:54was smart enough to disguise their handwriting.
02:56The handwriting isn't the clue.
02:57It's the pen.
02:58This isn't a cheap ballpoint.
03:00It's fancy.
03:01Fountain pen.
03:03See this dark streak
03:05in the middle of the horizontal lines?
03:07There's a chip in the nib.
03:09And whenever they press down hard,
03:11it releases extra ink.
03:12Huh.
03:13Good catch.
03:15Who would use a pen like that?
03:17Artists like to use fountain pens
03:19to sketch line drawings.
03:20Con artists like to use them
03:22to forge degrees from Harvard Business School.
03:25Class of 81.
03:27Vanessa, thank you.
03:28We'll be in touch.
03:29Well, you don't have to run.
03:31Lisichka.
03:31I could make a pot of coffee.
03:32Sorry.
03:33Work.
03:33Or have those little cookies that you like.
03:35I got some in case you can't buy.
03:36We're leaving.
03:37Well, it was great to see you.
03:42Lisichka?
03:43Leave it alone.
03:43I got those little cookies you like.
03:49Vanessa is my mom.
03:52You didn't even hug her.
04:02You barely even said hello.
04:03We have a business relationship.
04:05That's it.
04:09But why?
04:11And how?
04:12And probably also when?
04:13Okay.
04:15Okay.
04:16I'm going to explain this one time
04:18and then we do not discuss it again.
04:19Okay.
04:21Vanessa started pulling scams
04:23before I was in kindergarten.
04:25Small time stuff.
04:26Over time, the scams got bigger,
04:29more audacious,
04:30and then one day,
04:33the cops came to the door
04:34and arrested her.
04:36My dad, who is not Apollo,
04:40was not in the picture,
04:41so I had to go live with my grandparents
04:43because she had to go live in prison.
04:48She ruined my life.
04:51And also, as I found out many years later,
04:53ruined my credit.
04:54I have repaired both,
04:56no thanks to her.
04:57So I pay her for her expertise
04:59as a criminal when I need it,
05:01and that is the extent of our interactions.
05:04Lisichka?
05:05Russian nickname my dad gave me
05:07when I was a baby.
05:08It means little fox.
05:10Annoyingly, she won't stop using it.
05:13So this is why you became a P.I.?
05:15No, it's not why.
05:19Her being a criminal just put me on a path.
05:22I'm just...
05:23I'm just interested in...
05:25It's why.
05:26Okay, fine.
05:26Yes, it's why.
05:27Who cares?
05:28Okay.
05:32You know,
05:33Emily and I went through a rough patch
05:35for a while.
05:35Charles, we are not discussing this.
05:37Stop asking questions about my mom.
05:40Okay.
05:43Focus on the case.
05:44Hi there.
06:01Oh, right.
06:03I was just thinking about you.
06:05Really?
06:06Neat.
06:07Because I was also thinking about you.
06:09Want to grab some lunch?
06:12That would be lovely.
06:13Perfect.
06:14Let's do it.
06:14Let's get some lunch.
06:16Actually, I can.
06:17Whoa.
06:17Getting real mixed signals here.
06:20I forgot.
06:21I'm meeting a friend.
06:23Stupid friends.
06:24Stupid friends.
06:24They ruin everything.
06:26Just go have a lovely time with your friend
06:28and you know where to find me.
06:30Okay.
06:34Okay.
06:38Thank you for kissing me.
06:41I can't tell whether you've gotten better
06:44or I've gotten worse.
06:46I must have gotten worse
06:47because you stink.
06:50I have to tell you something.
06:51I met someone.
06:54Really?
06:54Her name's Mona.
06:56She's stunning and funny, talented, brilliant,
07:01and gorgeous and sexy.
07:04Stunning, gorgeous, and sexy all mean the same thing.
07:08Well, she's all of them.
07:10We literally just met.
07:12But every time I see her, I sweat.
07:15I stutter.
07:16My heart races.
07:18You sure it's not your thyroid?
07:19Could be your thyroid.
07:22Calvert, is this okay?
07:26What do you mean, is it okay?
07:28You mean because of Victoria?
07:31You mourned Victoria.
07:33You did right by her.
07:35You don't honor her life by not living your own.
07:38The only question is,
07:39is this something you want to pursue?
07:43Yes.
07:43Then go for it.
07:45Now, how did you meet this heart racing lady?
07:48She's one of the suspects in my new case.
07:51Oh, for God's sake.
07:52I know.
07:54Kind of bad.
07:55It's very bad.
07:56You remember how I reacted
07:58when you told me you were a spy?
08:00How's it going to go
08:01when you tell your girlfriend
08:02you've been lying to her?
08:04You cannot be in a relationship
08:07with someone you're lying to.
08:10Charles, old boy,
08:11you're a very observant fellow.
08:13Now, recently, between us,
08:15I invested in a hair system.
08:18Be honest.
08:19Can you tell?
08:19Not at all.
08:25Money well spent.
08:27Grazie.
08:30What?
08:31I can't even lie to Grant?
08:32Julie, exciting news.
08:36Vanessa's information
08:38has led to a promising new suspect,
08:40Dr. Elizabeth Muki, M-U-K-I.
08:44She runs the fine arts department.
08:47She was present at the event last night,
08:49and get this,
08:50she actually painted the portrait herself.
08:54Tonight, after the museum closes,
08:57I'm going to infiltrate her office,
08:58maybe get lucky
08:59and find the smoking pen.
09:12Hi.
09:12Are you here for the extension school class?
09:14Oh, sorry.
09:15No, no.
09:16I'm a visiting lecturer in engineering.
09:18I'm just coming to look around.
09:21Ah.
09:21We're usually closed now,
09:22but faculty can come anytime.
09:24Ah.
09:24Are you Elizabeth Muki?
09:27Yeah, that's me.
09:27Oh, you can call me Betsy.
09:29And you must be Charles.
09:32Mona told me that she met you the other night.
09:35She mentioned me, huh?
09:36What did she say about me, exactly?
09:39Honestly, that whole night was a blur
09:40because my painting was set on fire in protest.
09:46Wow, you painted that portrait.
09:48Jeez, that's intense.
09:50Sorry about that.
09:51Yeah, yeah, thanks.
09:52I just hope we didn't scare that guy away.
09:55I know we're suspicious of corporate types around here,
09:58but the museum could really use his money.
10:01Sure, sure.
10:02So you don't remember anything she said about me?
10:07Ask her yourself.
10:08Oh.
10:09Hello.
10:10Hi, hey.
10:11Hi.
10:12Fancy meeting you here.
10:14I like your trench coat.
10:16You look like a spy.
10:18That's a ridiculous assertion.
10:21I just came to look around.
10:23What are you doing here?
10:25Betsy's figure drawing class.
10:27Hey, you still owe me a lunch.
10:29How about tomorrow?
10:30Yeah, that should work.
10:32Let me just check my schedule here.
10:35Um, I have, uh, let's see.
10:40Yeah, I have office hours at 11,
10:41but after that, I am free all day.
10:44Whoa.
10:45Oh.
10:47Oh, you're the noodle.
10:48Noon model.
10:49I am.
10:50Yes, every week.
10:52Do me a favor and throw those on that chair over there.
10:55I'll see you tomorrow.
10:56Get it together, Noondight.
11:06It's just a naked woman.
11:07You've seen hundreds of them.
11:10You've seen four of them.
11:12I'm sorry, you've seen a window.
11:28You've seen three of them.
11:31I'm sorry.
11:31I'm sorry.
11:32You can see two of them.
11:34I'm sorry.
11:35You're sorry.
11:36I'm sorry.
11:37I'm sorry.
11:37I'm sorry.
11:38You're sorry.
11:39You're sorry.
11:40I'm sorry.
11:40Oh, my God.
11:51No, I can't work like this.
11:57Oh, my...
11:59Oh, Jesus.
12:04Okay, okay.
12:10Oh, my God.
12:17Is all art naked?
12:21Okay.
12:24Oh, my God.
12:28Oh, my God.
12:32Oh, my God.
12:36Oh, my God.
12:39Oh my God, you're all over the place.
12:53You have a visitor?
12:58You're not supposed to show up unannounced.
13:00I know, but you ignored all my calls.
13:03That's what people do when they don't want to talk to other people.
13:07I need to tell you something.
13:09I don't want you to pay me anymore.
13:11I want to help you with your work, but I want to help because you're my daughter and not because I'm on your payroll.
13:20Well, I prefer to keep things professional.
13:23It's cleaner that way.
13:24You do work, I pay you, we don't owe each other anything.
13:32What's this?
13:32Every dollar you've insisted on paying me over the years.
13:36I never wanted any of it, so I never spent any of it.
13:39Mother-daughter relationships aren't supposed to be clean and professional.
13:47If I can't be your mom, then I don't want to be your source.
13:54If you insist,
13:56it's sorry to see you go.
13:58Everything okay?
14:12Put this into petty cash for me.
14:13What if?
14:17You think I have to buy everything that's discovered in theięphale,
14:20maybe not?
14:21Well, if you're the one who is in my car,
14:26I don't have to pay for a little bit.
14:28I thought it was irresponsible and bad.
14:31Coming into the car is the absolute house she's害.
14:34What's her is?
14:35My sons, his children,
14:36My two daughters meet him.
14:37When still don't seem to die,
14:38I don't have to pay for that much too.
14:39It's nope, it's the house to the house.
14:41Come on, come on, come on.
14:47Good job.
14:48Oh, thank you.
15:11So you didn't find any pens that matched?
15:24Nope.
15:25Did a methodical search.
15:26Very professional.
15:27But no luck.
15:28Mookie wants Finnick's money for the museum,
15:30so she's not a top suspect anyway.
15:33All right, then we move on.
15:35Who's next?
15:36Mona Margadoff.
15:38What do you know about her?
15:40Music teacher.
15:41Pretty unremarkable.
15:43Stays fully clothed all the time, as far as I know.
15:48Okay, well, look into her.
15:50Start one of your famous dossiers.
15:53I don't think I need to.
15:54She didn't do it.
15:55How do you know that?
15:57Gut.
15:58Mostly just gut.
16:00Also, instinct.
16:02Well, she was on Holly's list and she was at the party,
16:05so maybe your gut should take a backseat
16:08to actual investigative work.
16:09The...
16:10Hey, this is the juicy case you wanted, man.
16:13Work the case.
16:15Julie, it's 8.53 PM.
16:18Uh, I just wanted to apologize for our conversation earlier.
16:23As you pointed out, Mona Margadoff is indeed the potential suspect,
16:30just like anyone else.
16:32So, beginning now, I'm gonna use various undercover techniques
16:39to secretly gather information about her,
16:42never letting on, not even for a second,
16:45that I am a private investigator.
16:50I'm a private investigator.
16:52What?
16:53I'm an undercover private investigator.
16:55I recorded our first kiss with a spy camera.
16:58But I deleted it.
16:59It w-it wasn't pervy.
17:00Also, I-I stole your purse for the case.
17:04And I feel bad about it.
17:05Because even though we just met, I like you.
17:08And I don't wanna lie to you.
17:10Anymore.
17:11Anyway, this is all under the heading of...
17:15I'm an undercover private investigator.
17:22You burned your cover on purpose?
17:24To a suspect?
17:25First of all, Mona is not a suspect.
17:28I guarantee we can trust her.
17:30Just ask her. Mona?
17:32She's here?
17:34You brought her here?
17:36I have never been in a real detective's office before.
17:40It's less interesting than I would have imagined.
17:44Have you told anyone else about Charles?
17:47Of course not.
17:48He made me promise.
17:49I made her promise.
17:50Oh, well.
17:51As long as she promised.
17:53Why?
17:54Why?
17:55Why in the world would you do this?
17:57Well, to be honest, it was something that Calvert said to me.
18:00What could Calvert have possibly said to make you do this?
18:03I mean, you could just ask him.
18:07Oh, my God.
18:09I did not tell him to confess.
18:11I told him he can't have a relationship built on lies.
18:14I assumed he was gonna break it off with her.
18:16No offense.
18:17You seem terrific.
18:18I've heard a lot about you.
18:19I've heard a lot about you.
18:20I've heard a lot about you.
18:21You used to work at the Pentagon.
18:23I was once arrested at a rally outside the Pentagon.
18:26Oh, small world.
18:28Oh, this is so wonderful.
18:30You guys meeting.
18:31That's why I invited him.
18:33We were gonna have breakfast after.
18:34Okay, everybody shut up.
18:36Charles, stay.
18:37You two, scram.
18:39Are you still down for a breakfast burrito?
18:41Charles said you love breakfast burritos.
18:43I do, and I'd love one.
18:45So I know an incredible place down the street.
18:48My treat.
18:49Julie, do you want anything?
18:51Out.
18:52You are on extremely thin ice.
18:58That woman may be the perp that we're looking for.
19:01Moni didn't do it.
19:03She couldn't have.
19:05Because she was with me.
19:07She was with you?
19:09Oh, of course.
19:12She was the lead you were chasing down
19:15when you were supposed to be at the party.
19:18And she was with me the whole time.
19:20Are you sure?
19:21The whole time?
19:23Well, that was certainly...
19:29Yes.
19:33The whole time.
19:34Julie, look, I'm sorry.
19:36But this is bigger than the case.
19:39I didn't think that I could have this in my life again.
19:43Another chance at a meaningful relationship at my age?
19:47I mean, you of all people should understand that.
19:52What the hell is that supposed to mean?
19:54Your mom.
19:55Your mom wants what I want.
19:57A second chance.
19:58And if you didn't really, down deep, want a relationship with her, you wouldn't keep seeking her out.
20:08You want to give her a second chance.
20:10You're just...
20:11You're too stubborn to admit it.
20:13My relationship with my estranged mother, which you know nothing about, and which is none of your business,
20:24is not an excuse to screw up my case.
20:27And that's what this is, by the way.
20:30It's my case.
20:32Mona is my suspect.
20:34You are my employee.
20:35And if you don't understand that, then you won't be my employee.
20:39You...
20:40This conversation is over.
20:45I'm really sorry this caused so much trouble.
20:48So, what's our next step?
20:50Lie low and hope Julie doesn't fire me.
20:54Charles, I know we don't know each other very well.
20:58But no matter what happens, I'm glad you told me the truth.
21:03It gives me a good feeling about you.
21:06And...
21:07I already had a good feeling about you.
21:10You will figure this out, I promise.
21:13But the only clue I have is this theoretical pen.
21:17It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
21:24That party is a cash bar, right?
21:29At Wheeler, it's always a cash bar.
21:31Why?
21:37Huh.
21:38So that's what it's like when I do that.
21:41It's annoying.
21:44I cannot believe Charles.
21:46I started working on a cover story in case we need to pull him.
21:49He said I don't understand my own feelings about my mom.
21:53The hell does he know?
21:55I mean...
21:57He's a pretty good detective.
21:59Don't tell me you agree with him.
22:01I didn't say that.
22:02I do agree with him, but I didn't say it because you're scary and I'm scared of you.
22:06I'm gonna explain something to you, okay?
22:08Vanessa and I have a purely professional relationship.
22:12Had.
22:14Apparently it's over.
22:15Which is fine.
22:16I'm fine with it because that's all I wanted from her.
22:18She was my source.
22:19She was one of my many, many sources.
22:22You know?
22:23And the fact that I used her as a source, it just doesn't mean anything.
22:29Okay, fine.
22:30Fine.
22:31I pay to see my mom on a semi-weekly basis.
22:34Who cares?
22:35It's not that weird.
22:36It's not that weird.
22:37It's not like I'm like, boo-hoo.
22:39Like, mommy, can we please rekindle our relationship so I can actually have a real mom in my life without
22:45needing to be an emotionally vulnerable person and tell you how I feel and...
22:51Crap.
22:55Oh!
22:56Hey, Julie.
22:57Word of caution, my guinea pig, Joni Mitchell, has escaped from her cage and she's in a mood,
23:09okay?
23:10So get in here, but leave your shoes on.
23:12She's a biter.
23:14I'll tell Vanessa you're here.
23:17Joni!
23:18Joni!
23:19Hi.
23:20Hi, Vanessa.
23:21Hi, Mom.
23:22Okay.
23:23Okay.
23:24I would like to examine the possibility of having a non-work-related relationship with you.
23:42Sweetheart.
23:43Just wait, just wait, just wait.
23:45I wrote this out and I need to get it exactly.
23:47I'm not sure what that would look like and I need it to move very slowly.
23:51If these terms are acceptable to you, check this box and return it to my work address.
23:56I'm sorry.
23:57I was considering just leaving this on the doorstep.
24:00I made a lot of mistakes.
24:02All I ever wanted was for you to forgive me.
24:05And I will do literally anything to make that happen.
24:13Okay.
24:14Found her!
24:15I found Joni Mitchell.
24:17She was in the toilet.
24:18There's no way we're gonna find that pen.
24:21But we don't have to if we find another piece of paper it wrote on.
24:25The dining hall caters all the school events and it's almost always a cash bar because the school is broke.
24:32Which means people sign credit card receipts.
24:34If we can get a hold of the receipts from the night of Vinick's party, we might find a match and it will literally be the name of the person who wrote the note.
24:44Look, I made a judgement call telling Mona.
24:50I knew the risks and I'm sorry if you don't like it.
24:54But either fire me or let me keep going.
24:57Your choice.
24:58Yeah, I know it's my choice because that's what being a boss is and I'll remind you that I am your boss.
25:04I went to see my mom.
25:12We're going to try and do whatever it is people do in these situations.
25:21Well, I think that's great.
25:25And that's all I'll say.
25:28Look, we're on the right track. I can feel it.
25:30We're gonna have hard evidence as soon as I find that receipt.
25:34I hope you're right.
25:41Give me a second here.
25:43Thank you for looking.
25:45I think I used my personal card instead of my business card.
25:49Need those miles.
25:51Oh, yeah. You gotta get the miles.
25:53I don't see the receipts from that light.
25:56I must have sent him in already.
25:58Okay. Thanks for looking.
26:05Oh, hey, Charles. How's it going?
26:07What's the, uh, haps?
26:10As they say.
26:12I was just trying to switch out a credit card I used at the party.
26:16What are you doing there?
26:18I wanted to see what was for lunch tomorrow.
26:21Ah. Beef stew.
26:23Beef stew.
26:24That's great.
26:25That's my favorite thing to put beef in.
26:31Okay, bye.
26:36Julie, looks like there's a new potato in our Clues stew.
26:41Clues stew.
26:44The potato is a suspect.
26:47Griffin is the potato.
26:50The stew is the case.
26:52I'm gonna start over.
26:53I'm gonna start over.
26:54I'm gonna start over.
26:55I'm gonna start over.
26:56We'll turn it over.
26:59I'm gonna start over.
27:00We're not gonna start over.
27:01We'll try and create aATOR.
27:02We'll see you once whole river.
27:03You'll see the potato in our bottom.
27:06A mixture in a pool.
27:07Big-scale spinach.
27:09We're tasting Dipiliere.
27:10We're tasting with Fro- garant.
27:11We'll try.
27:12We want to cook.
27:13We'll have a choice.
27:14We will try and wrap it after kids.
27:15We'll be food for breakfast.
27:16We may use it and try and inform SCREE.
27:17We'll be food for lunch.
27:18We're tasting a meant ê°„ of baptized.
