00:00Hello, Professor Neuendijk, is it?
00:18That's right, Professor Markenthal.
00:21Yes, very good memory.
00:23Want to meet up later?
00:25Well, actually, I have to go to Oakland.
00:28I'm consulting on a rock opera about the time that John Travolta said Adele Dazeem.
00:35It's niche.
00:37Attention, everyone. Good morning. Thank you for coming.
00:41In order to address the events surrounding Brad Vinnick's portrait on Friday,
00:45we have hired a private investigator from San Francisco.
00:49So please welcome Julie Kovalenko.
00:54Hi, everyone.
00:55Uh, as Holly mentioned, I'm investigating the burning of Brad Vinnick's portrait.
01:00I will be interviewing many of you individually over the next few weeks and ask for your cooperation.
01:06Any questions? Yes.
01:09Holly, uh, are you wearing two blazers?
01:12Oh. I guess I am.
01:16Well, I-I got dressed in a hurry this morning.
01:20Follow-up. If you were in a hurry, how did you put on two?
01:23Wouldn't that mean you had too much time?
01:25Guys, I'm under a lot of stress and I haven't been sleeping well.
01:29Mona.
01:31Where did you get that blazer?
01:33Um...
01:34No, the one underneath. It's cute.
01:37Oh, thank you. Um, I think I got it from Macy's maybe? I don't remember. Uh, you don't like the plaid?
01:44It's not flattering. That might be because it's on top of another blazer.
01:49Any other questions? Any non-blazer questions? Okay, great.
01:56I'm just not 100% sure why this is necessary.
01:59Don't get mad at Julie. This was my call.
02:02Priority one is to talk Vinikoff a ledge.
02:05Shockingly, he didn't love seeing himself on fire in a garbage can.
02:08Now, we are this close to losing $400 million,
02:13so this is an all-hands-on-deck situation.
02:17Okay. See you in a week.
02:20Where are you going?
02:22Academic conference, Rycliffe University in Dallas.
02:25Holly's in charge. You're in good hands. Bye-bye.
02:28So, uh, Jack scheduled a meeting for us with Vinik at his office at 2 o'clock.
02:33We'll brief him on the investigation while Charles keeps working undercover.
02:38Jesus. I'm wearing three blazers?
02:42Why are you upset about this? You're still on the case.
02:45I get how this makes sense.
02:47It's just that it seems like you're babysitting me.
02:50I am babysitting you. Why?
02:52Because you skipped a key event to go on a moonlit stroll with your new girlfriend.
02:57Actually, we're not using labels yet.
02:59And then you told that new girlfriend that you're a PI.
03:02I...
03:03Follow up on the Max Griffin lead.
03:05Find out if he went to the kitchen to destroy his credit card receipt.
03:09I'm gonna look into everyone who was at the next party starting with Mona.
03:13Look, there's no need. Her alibis airtight.
03:16She was with me when they burned the painting.
03:18Then she went to the piano room in the music building.
03:21She wrote a song. Plus, I know her. No way she would do this.
03:26Charles, do you know what her real name is?
03:32Mona Margadoff.
03:34No, it's not. It's Mona Junkfeldt.
03:37Before that, she went by Mona Gerbelsman.
03:39And before that, she went by Liz Hochbell.
03:43I can't believe this.
03:45That's because I made it up.
03:46To prove the point that you don't actually know this woman at all.
03:49So cool your jets and do your job.
03:52Oh, my jets are cool.
03:55My jets are zero degrees Kelvin.
03:58That's the coldest something can be. Zero molecular motion.
04:02So that's like a science burn?
04:05Oh, yeah. If you knew science, you would be reeling.
04:10Everyone thinks that the worst part of being a public school teacher is the lack of funding.
04:22But do you know what it really is?
04:24Mm-mm.
04:25It's that the days I have off, all three of my sons do too.
04:29Why do you have today off?
04:31Who knows? Faculty, Budget, Appreciation Day?
04:36That can't be right.
04:37Mm-mm. Conward says.
04:39What?
04:40Can I have more chips?
04:42Sure. The bag's right there.
04:48Mom?
04:49Yeah?
04:50Can I get this game? It's called Warm Squadron Alpha, Warm War 3.
04:53No, no. No more games.
04:54Bro, there's no school. What else am I supposed to do?
04:57Aren't the SATs in like three weeks?
04:59Isn't your face my balls?
05:00Dude, you're a junior in high school.
05:02You're a junior in my balls.
05:04Jace, for God's sake.
05:07Oh, hey, Dad. Didn't know you were here.
05:09You think I can get this game? It's called Warm Squadron Alpha, Warm War 3?
05:14We have to find a new activity for these children.
05:17You were so good. You were so brave today, Caden.
05:21You get to pick whatever you want from the treasure chest, hmm?
05:24And then sit and wait for your sister.
05:26Hi, Mom.
05:27Hi. What are you doing here?
05:30I have a meeting for a case nearby and thought I would bring you a cup of coffee.
05:35That's so nice. Oh, here. Come meet everyone. Linda, Diego. This is my daughter, Julie.
05:41Oh, my God. Hi. I've heard so much about you.
05:44Julie, are you dating anyone?
05:47My nephew's 26 and he delivers groceries on the phone.
05:50He sounds great. I have to go.
05:54Oh, okay. But since you're in the neighborhood, we were going to have drinks after work at a Mexican restaurant around the corner.
05:59It's Linda's birthday. You want to come?
06:01It'll be fun. Apollo will be there.
06:03Work is going to go late. Sorry. Sure.
06:07Nice to meet you.
06:09We have to debrief.
06:12Hey, Max. Got a second?
06:14Got your present. Got you a meal schedule from the dining hall so you don't have to go to the kitchen to check.
06:23Could you maybe not tell anyone that you saw me there?
06:26Why not?
06:28Last year, I wanted to write this huge expose on sports gambling.
06:33I'd seen the horrifying effect that it had on my students.
06:36I had never gambled.
06:38So I downloaded this app. I put 20 bucks on a football game.
06:4216 hours later, I blew my last four grand on Malaysian women's badminton.
06:47That's awful. So you were in the kitchen for food?
06:51Yeah. Still a little short on cash.
06:54So the, uh, the dining hall guys saved me some leftovers.
06:59It's pretty embarrassing, especially for a journalism professor, so keep it between us.
07:03Your secret is safe with me. I am so sorry.
07:06I had no idea you were going through this.
07:09I know. I come off as this super tough, super cool guy.
07:16Because of the motorcycle.
07:19The motorcycle, yeah, exactly.
07:21But if there's one thing that I've learned in journalism, you think you know someone.
07:25But scratch the surface, even a tiny bit, you never know what you'll find.
07:31Oh, man.
07:49What? Bad news?
07:51Yeah. There was an asteroid with a 2% chance of destroying Earth, and now they say it's not gonna happen.
07:58Can't catch a break.
08:00Listen, I know things are tense right now, but I'm very good at my job.
08:05We will find who did this.
08:08Your confidence is so reassuring. Say something else confidently.
08:13I've often thought that if I really had to, I could land a plane.
08:18So relaxing. Give me another one.
08:22I also truly believe I could win in a fight against a moose.
08:25Of course you could. Tell me how.
08:28Just get low and take out its legs.
08:30It's like walking in a zen garden. Thank you.
08:35He's ready for you.
08:38Holly.
08:43Mr. Vinnick, Julie Kovalenko, the PI in charge of the investigation.
08:50I'll tell you what I told the State Department.
08:52I was in Belarus for a wedding, and I didn't use my own passport so I could surprise them.
08:58Wait, wait. Which investigation?
09:01Wheeler College. The portrait.
09:03Oh, oh, right. Yeah.
09:05Listen, I'm pissed off.
09:08I'm giving Wheeler a lot of money, and this is the thanks I get?
09:11I have a lot of promising leads, and I assure you we will find the person responsible.
09:16Hmm.
09:17You seem competent.
09:19Pretty hot, too. I like that.
09:21How old are you?
09:23Oh, you're definitely not supposed to ask me that.
09:26So you're over 30.
09:28Some good news.
09:29Elizabeth Mookie from the Fine Arts Department has finished your replacement portrait.
09:34We brightened the background, like you asked.
09:37She wasn't 100% sure how to make your eyes look more expensive.
09:43You, 34. What do you think?
09:47I think all oil paintings of serious men look roughly the same to me.
09:51You're right. This is boring.
09:53Some righteous dipshit torches my painting. Whatever.
09:56At least it's an opportunity to try something new.
10:01A statue.
10:03I could be, uh, not a horse, like Teddy Roosevelt.
10:08Or I'm racing against a horse, and I'm winning.
10:13But, you know, just by a little so it's realistic.
10:16Yeah, I'd like to get back to the case.
10:18If you really want to help me, you will stay and talk to him out of whatever terrible idea he has.
10:22Alright, how about this?
10:24A statue of my head on one of those military dog robots.
10:29Instead of being cooped up in a museum, he's patrolling the campus.
10:35To create fear.
10:37Alright, let's just keep thinking.
10:39Can I help you?
11:02Uh, no. No, I'm just looking around.
11:05I'm a new professor here.
11:07You must be Charles.
11:09Silver Fox, Pocket Square, Mona told us all about you.
11:13Music Building has a very active group chat.
11:16Did you need anything?
11:18To be honest, Esmeralda kind of just wanted to see where she worked.
11:22Do me a favor, though.
11:24Don't tell her I was here.
11:27I got you. No one likes a thirsty dude.
11:30Hi, Dad.
11:45Hey, sweetheart. How's it going?
11:47Oh, fantastic. The kids have the day off of school for some unknown reason.
11:51Mom, why not?
11:52I let you guys have the game.
11:54I am not giving you $30 for digital worm coins.
11:58Please, my worm needs a Juice WRLD skin.
12:00Honey, I love you so much. Go way over there. Go.
12:04Joel and I are slowly losing our minds. How's the case going?
12:09Actually, that's why I'm calling you. I can use your help.
12:14Okay, okay. I think Julie's right.
12:16Mount Rushmore took like 15 years, so four of me on a mountain, that's just gonna take too long.
12:23All right, so we're back to painting. Next question, though, who should paint it?
12:29Why are we settling for this Betsy woman? What about somebody famous? Andy Warhol?
12:35He's very dead.
12:37Okay, cross him off. Who else paints? What about George W. Bush?
12:43Now, he's pissed at me right now, but I could call him.
12:46Oh, you guys want some coffee? We got these incredible new AI coffee machines.
12:50All you gotta do is say out loud what you want. Try it.
12:54Uh, latte with four shots.
12:59Well, it doesn't make coffee unless you give it a DNA sample,
13:02so just come on over here and spit in a little tray.
13:05Uh, I'm good. Thanks.
13:07Okay, I've got a quick meeting. Why don't you two come with me, and we'll wrap this up.
13:14Afternoon, Neil. Hey, Brad.
13:17Green tea.
13:19All right, we're supposed to meet Grandpa around here somewhere.
13:25Oh, that's the building where I took my psych classes.
13:28And over there is where your dad and I first made out.
13:31Bro. Why am I even here?
13:35You're gonna be applying to colleges next year.
13:37We were gonna start touring in the spring, but we might as well get a jump on it.
13:41What's the point of college? AI's just gonna take all the jobs.
13:45Jace, that is... probably true.
13:48Hey, you two.
13:49Oh, hey, Dad.
13:50Hey.
13:51What's up, Grandpa?
13:52And a good sup to you as well.
13:54All right, here's a map of campus, so yeah, just go, you know, explore.
13:58I mean, check out the Science Center. Oh, maybe the library?
14:00Yeah, the student union has a Chipotle and video games.
14:05Sick.
14:06So, what are we investigating today?
14:11A suspect claims to have been in a rehearsal room in that building behind us during the time in question.
14:18I need to see if her name is on a sign-in sheet.
14:21I can't get it without drawing attention because everyone there already knows me.
14:27In the music building? How do they know you?
14:30Apparently I'm very memorable. The term Silver Fox was bandied about.
14:38Anyway, tell them you want to use rehearsal room C. They'll hand you the sign-in sheet.
14:44What is the perp's name?
14:47Mona Margadoff.
14:49It would have been last Friday night.
14:54Sure you can handle this?
14:56Oh, please. This ain't my first rodeo.
15:00It's my second rodeo.
15:06Hi. I'm headed to rehearsal room C, so I just need to sign in.
15:10Are you faculty?
15:11Yes. I'm new.
15:12Great. May I see your Wheeler ID?
15:15You know what? It's my first day, and I was gonna have it printed out, but there was something wrong with the machine.
15:23Seriously?
15:25That machine is always broken.
15:29Ugh.
15:30Right? It's like machines. Ugh.
15:33Oh, hang on. This one's full. I'll set you up with a new one.
15:36Oh, no, that's okay. I can sign that one. I hate wasting paper.
15:39No, it's full up. Here you go.
15:40Okay, cool.
15:41Ugh. I just remembered I forgot my piccolo.
15:46Oh, we have one you can borrow.
15:48Mine is custom-made because I have an irregular mouth. So I'm gonna go get it, and I'll be right back.
15:58I want it to be classic, but also revolutionary. In a hundred years, I want Wheeler students to look at that painting and say, he was a great man.
16:09And then I'll tap him on the shoulder and say, and I still am.
16:12And the best way to accomplish that is to let me get back to work.
16:16No, the best way to accomplish that is with these longevity treatments. They say the only sure things are death and taxes. Well, with enough money, you can avoid both.
16:26Helmet time, Brad.
16:28Okay.
16:29Cover your torsos, please.
16:30Do we have to?
16:32Well, that depends. Do you like the way that your blood is now?
16:36Epsilon wave treatment in five, four, three, two, one. Activate.
16:47Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
16:50Uh.
16:51You know, I have a thought. Um, what if we had a plaque and we listed all of your accomplishments?
16:59Bad idea. What about a metal sign that lists all the cool stuff I've done?
17:06So much better.
17:08Epsilon wave treatment complete.
17:10Get those off? Now.
17:13Remove contaminated garments.
17:16Remove contaminated garments.
17:19Remove contaminated garments.
17:22Remove contaminated garments.
17:24Okay. Just the injection and you should be all set. Neck or penis?
17:28Hmm.
17:31Surprise me.
17:32Okay. I'm leaving.
17:33No, you're not. We haven't settled on the monument yet.
17:36That's not my job. My job is to find the person who's threatening you and the school.
17:42Whatever. That whole painting thing is gonna blow over.
17:45You know, when you're as successful as I am, there's always some jealous whiner protesting your success or hauling you in front of Congress.
17:53We're not gonna hear from that person again. Trust me.
17:56Well, Jack Berenger hired me to find that person. So, if you don't mind, I'm going to...
18:00You're dismissed. I'm letting you go for the day.
18:03So, go.
18:10Okay. I'm gonna set you up with a double dose, but I am gonna need you to take two of these every 15 minutes for the next three months or you will die.
18:18I mean, what was I supposed to do? She put the paper in a drawer. If I asked a second time, it would have seemed suspicious.
18:23Okay. Okay. Okay. We can figure something else out. How do you feel about dyeing your hair?
18:28I mean, didn't you say this Mona Lady's alibi was pretty good? Maybe you should just focus on another suspect?
18:34I can't do that.
18:35Sup?
18:36Hey. How was the student union?
18:38What's the student union?
18:40The place you were going? Where were you?
18:43I don't know.
18:44You don't know where you were?
18:46When?
18:47Jace.
18:48Okay. Okay. All right. Look. First attempt failed, but we can fix this.
18:52Wait. Mom failed at something?
18:54Your mother was on a mission for me. I needed her to get an old sign-in sheet from the music building to see if the suspect's name was on there.
19:03I could do it.
19:05Really?
19:06Yeah.
19:11Okay. Yeah. All right.
19:14It's for rehearsal room C. The security guard already started a new one, but we need the old sign-in sheet from Friday night. From Friday night.
19:24We're looking for the name Mona Margodal. Say it. Mona. Say it.
19:34Sup. Um, do you know if Wormfist was here on Friday night?
19:37What's a Wormfist?
19:38Uh, it's my band. Or was my band. I think they're trying to kick me out. Even though I named us. And I wrote all the songs. I wrote Slither, Shriveled on the Sidewalk, I'll Love You Forever, Warm Girl, Warm Girl Part Two, Warm Girl that I'm Showman.
19:52What do you need? Friday?
19:53Yeah. I just want to know if they were rehearsing without me. Thank you. Oh, man.
20:01Maybe you should try writing some non-Worm-based songs.
20:04Yeah, probably.
20:05Yeah.
20:06Charles?
20:10Oh, hey. Oh!
20:12Well...
20:13Hi.
20:14Hi.
20:15Hi.
20:16Hey.
20:17Uh, yeah, I, uh, I thought you were in Oakland.
20:19Oh, yeah. The rock opera fell apart. Creative differences. Also, it sucked. So I came back early to surprise you. Hi, Mona Margodal.
20:28Hi.
20:29Hi.
20:30I'm Emily, Charles' daughter.
20:32Whoa.
20:33Whoa.
20:34What?
20:35Big day.
20:36Meeting the family so soon.
20:39I really like your dad.
20:43So do I.
20:45Okay.
20:46Yo, um, found Mona Margodal on the sign of sheet for Friday. She wasn't lying.
20:50Bro, who's this?
20:51You were investigating me?
20:52Laura, just let me explain.
20:53No explanation necessary. You don't trust me. I get it. Okay. Um, it was nice to meet you.
21:07Bro, who even was that?
21:12Okay, so we've actually been investigating your girlfriend who knows you're undercover?
21:22Technically, yes.
21:23Why didn't you tell me you have a girlfriend?
21:26I haven't dated anyone since your mom. I wasn't sure how you'd react.
21:32Okay, well, here is my reaction. I am so happy.
21:39Really?
21:40Yes, of course, Dad. You met someone. That's great. And thank God we just proved that she's not a suspect in a blackmail case.
21:47Yes.
21:48Yes. Yeah, yeah. No, that's, that's, that's excellent news.
21:52Although, she is very smart. It's possible that she knew that I was going to check the sign in sheet.
22:00So she burned the painting, then snuck back and put her name on the list to create an alibi.
22:05Do you really think she would do that?
22:07I don't know what she would do. I barely know her. I mean, I don't even know if Mona is her real name.
22:14I mean, is it like short for something? Ramona? Desdemona? Mona Lisa? The Mona Lisa is a painting.
22:22Dad?
22:23I'm just, I'm just saying, who is this woman?
22:26Bro, I've been saying that.
22:28He has.
22:29Okay.
22:31Let me offer my detective theory.
22:34Maybe this is not about whether Mona forged her name on the sign in sheet for rehearsal room C like some master criminal.
22:42Maybe you're freaking out because this is the first new relationship you've had with a woman in 48 years?
22:49No. No. No, no, no, no, no, no. That is not it.
22:55Yes, that's exactly it.
22:59Shoot.
23:01That was wild.
23:03I mean, that guy is insufferable. How do you put up with him?
23:08It's my job. It's always hard. But when guys like him make it really hard, I just focus on what I get out of it.
23:17The money? Is it worth it?
23:21Of course it is. The money is what ensures the future of Wheeler College.
23:26I'm a lifer.
23:29I went there for undergrad and I started working in administration right after.
23:34Been there 40 years.
23:36Wheeler is my place and I love it.
23:39And if you truly love something, you have to do a whole lot of crap you don't want to do.
23:46It's just part of the deal.
23:49Mm-hmm.
23:50Hi, Mom.
23:51Julie! You came!
23:52Julie!
23:53Hi!
23:54I couldn't disappoint Linda on her big day. Happy birthday, Linda.
23:55Thanks.
23:56You know, I called my nephew right after you left. He's not much of a look or poor thing, but he is very excited to meet you.
24:15Cool.
24:16Mm-hmm.
24:17Julie, can I just say you are a goddess just like your mom. We love Mama Bee.
24:24Mm-hmm.
24:25Jules?
24:26Aw!
24:27It's so nice that you came.
24:30Can I get you a drink of some of the best homemade miso soup you've ever had in your life?
24:36Oh.
24:37If not, they have a full bar back there.
24:40Hey, babe.
24:41Yes.
24:42Linda!
24:43That was a shockingly good hug.
24:46He's such a good hugger, right?
24:47Yeah.
24:48It's one of my favorite things about him.
24:50I'm gonna get something from the bar. Do you need anything?
24:53No.
24:54I mean, can you believe it? I gave him dating advice. I never thought that would happen.
25:05You're kind of burying the lead. What do you think about his girlfriend?
25:08I mean, I didn't get to spend very much time with her, but she's very cool. Oh, do you know that old song, Goodbye Baby?
25:15Like, from the arthritis commercial?
25:17Yeah, but in, like, 1970, it was a huge song. That's her. That was her band, Lavender Highway.
25:24Your dad is dating a rock star?
25:26Yes, and she's, like, sexy and stylish.
25:30Grandpa pulls.
25:31Jace, for God's sake.
25:33What?
25:34No, no, no. He's right.
25:35Sorry, babe, but your dad pulls.
25:37Hey, what did you think of Wheeler, bud?
25:40It was chill. I want to go there.
25:43What? Really?
25:44Yeah, I mean, they had burritos. The Wi-Fi was strong. Esmeralda was chill. I'll either go there or I'll go on Beast Games.
25:53You know what, bud? I'll take it.
26:00Good night.
26:01Hey. Hi. Can we talk for a second? Maybe somewhere more private?
26:07Anything you want to say to me, you can say in front of Esmeralda.
26:13Oh, yeah, right, that's not true. Okay, come with me.
26:20Well, what'd you got?
26:24I never actually thought you were guilty. I-I just, I-I panicked over the idea of dating someone.
26:32Really, Charles? Come on, we are too old for that.
26:35No, no, no, I'm-I'm not.
26:37You know, in relationship years, I'm-I'm basically a teenager.
26:42I haven't dated anyone new since the Carter administration.
26:46Fun fact. I once went on a date with Billy Carter.
26:49See, that-no, that's the point. You've had this big, amazing life, and I don't know anything about it.
26:55And also, I'm crazy about you. And-and those-those two things together made me feel a little wobbly.
27:03But the wobbly part is the fun part. Charles, that first night, when I saw you, my knees buckled. And it was exciting. And so I walked right up and started talking to you. The great thing about new relationships is you don't have all the answers.
27:25Oh, Wheeler news alert. Apparently, Behringer gets a bonus if he raises enough money. That jackass. He's gonna get rich selling us out to Brad Finnick.
27:40That's not the real story. Someone leaked Behringer's personal email to the paper. The blackmailer is following through on their threat.
27:55A cappella practice next door. Come on. Let's get out of here.
28:03There's 45 different a cappella groups in this college. I swear.
28:07I feel the highway. I wanna ride it all night long. If you're going my way. I wanna drive it all night long.
28:23Down, down, down, down.
28:26Through all these cities and all these towns. It's in my land and it's all around.
28:31I love it now like I love you there. There's just a road and these are the hands.
28:35gamma's in picture that met these knights.
28:39Carvan past the Vancouver's lights. Lock me down, you'll back on therat. You'll ride my body for the mentionnг band.
28:46I've been home, the roads are off in December
28:49I've been there when the night comes in
28:51I'm telling you, survivors
28:53Life is a highway
28:56I'm gonna ride it all night long
29:00You're going my way
29:05I'm gonna drive it all night long
29:09Give me, give me, give me, give me her
29:12Life is a highway
29:14I'm gonna ride it all night long
29:19Give me, give me, give me, give me, give me
29:21You're going my way
29:24I'm gonna drive it all night long
