00:00Okay, where are we?
00:12Vinick just got back from his trip to the Seychelles
00:14and he wants an update.
00:16Unfortunately, all of our leads have come up empty.
00:19The pen, the threatening note, the leaks to the newspaper.
00:23All dead ends.
00:24So many questions and no answers.
00:28Will Vinick give us his money?
00:30Will Wheeler survive?
00:32Can I get my old job back at Hard Rock Cafe?
00:35I think it might be time to start looking
00:37at someone outside of the school.
00:39We already went down that road.
00:41No one else had access to the campus.
00:44Except Vinick and Kelsey.
00:45Take a look at this language.
00:47Vinick is a snake.
00:49You take one dollar of his blood money.
00:51These words, they're filled with ego and hurt.
00:56This is personal.
00:58Did Vinick's wife go with him to the Seychelles?
01:00No, no, no.
01:01They never traveled together.
01:04They're always cheating.
01:05They're always cheating.
01:07Okay, okay, okay, yes.
01:08Wait, what does that mean?
01:09Let's imagine that Vinick's having an affair.
01:12Oh, of course. He definitely is.
01:14Kelsey discovers the illicit canoodling.
01:17Enraged by his betrayal, she becomes bloodthirsty for revenge.
01:22She decides to humiliate him, to destroy his life.
01:26Was she at the meeting the night Berringer's laptop was stolen?
01:29She was. She was taking selfies as usual.
01:32Tell Vinick we're close, but don't tell him who the target is.
01:36Okay, copy that.
01:37Hi, uh, this is Holly Bodgemark.
01:41I worked at the Hard Rock Cafe in San Francisco in 1982.
01:44Question, are you hiring?
01:56Hey, Mona.
01:57Sorry to call you out of the blue, but I'm on my way to pick up a xylophone from my xylophone guy.
02:03You have a xylophone guy?
02:05I do, and I'm gonna have to get a new one, though, because he overcharges me like crazy.
02:10Point is, his shop is right near your office.
02:15So I asked your dad for your number to see if you want to play hooky and come with me, and we'll get some food after.
02:22Ugh, God, that sounds so nice, but I just have so much work to do.
02:27Do you think you have too much work to do because society says you should always have work to do
02:32because you're a prisoner of the system?
02:34I'm not a prisoner.
02:36How many windows in your office?
02:38None, but this is a crappy temp office because my real office doesn't have heat.
02:44So no heat and no windows.
02:46Interesting.
02:47And how many other human beings have you talked with today?
02:52One.
02:53The security guard?
02:55Okay, yeah, this is a prison.
02:56I'll meet you in the parking lot.
02:58Hello, everyone.
03:00A few brief announcements.
03:02Um, first of all, the latest round of budget cuts has gone into effect, and the college
03:08is no longer buying coffee pods for the communal coffee machines.
03:11However, Max Griffin has graciously lent the faculty lounge his pour-over station.
03:17Whoa, whoa, whoa, Sue.
03:18If we rush the process, the individual notes won't properly mature.
03:22More importantly, tonight is the annual James Joyce Symposium led by Dr. Benjamin Cole.
03:29We hope to see you all there.
03:32I'm sorry.
03:34What's this all about?
03:35Every year, I convene a symposium on the life and times of James Joyce.
03:41Let me back up.
03:42James Joyce was a famous novelist.
03:45Let me back up again.
03:47A novelist is a person who uses words to tell stories.
03:51I know who James Joyce is.
03:54I'm an author.
03:55I wrote a book.
03:56Well, so did the creator of Mad Libs, but I wouldn't call him an author.
04:01Benjamin, be nice.
04:03All right.
04:04I'm sorry, Charles.
04:06You and the creator of Mad Libs are exactly the same.
04:09Excuse me.
04:11Yeah?
04:12Guess what Kelsey Vinnick is doing today.
04:16She is opening her new art exhibit at a fancy gallery.
04:21What's the exhibit?
04:22A bunch of her selfies?
04:23Yes.
04:24Really?
04:25Yes.
04:26It's called Kelsey Me As I Kelsey My Selfie.
04:31Wow.
04:32And get this, according to the invitation, there's a discussion led by Betsy Mookie of Wheeler
04:40College, followed by light refreshments and chemical peels.
04:44Apparently, this is yet another way the school is sucking up to Vinnick.
04:47Okay.
04:48Keep me updated.
04:49I guess I'll go to Ben Cole's boring James Joyce Symposium.
04:53You know, this stinks.
04:55You get to do fun stuff, I have to go to school?
04:57You're literally a teacher.
04:59Let's talk about some of the pieces in this extraordinary exhibit, like this one in front
05:10of the Eiffel Tower.
05:11Hmm.
05:12So this is actually a really interesting story.
05:14I was in Paris, and I looked up and I went, whoa, what is that?
05:18Oh, uh, well, to me, the colors, they evoke Seurat or even Chagall.
05:26Oh, my God.
05:27I love Steven Chagall.
05:28Yes.
05:29Let's talk about this piece, selfie with selfie.
05:35So for this one, I took a selfie and I printed it out.
05:39And then I took a selfie of myself with that selfie.
05:42It's very meta.
05:43Oh no, this one I put on Snapchat.
05:44Wait, I have an amazing idea.
05:46This is the James Joyce Symposium?
05:47Mm-hmm.
05:48Um, whiskey neat.
05:49Years ago, Ben wrote a brilliant paper tracing the influence of Walt Whitman on Ulysses and
05:56was awarded an annual stipend to honor the legacy of James Joyce.
06:11Mm-hmm.
06:12Mm-hmm.
06:13And then given that Joyce was a legendary tipler, I decided the best way to honor his legacy was to throw a party where we all get drunk.
06:20Why didn't you just tell me it was a party?
06:21Well, if I told you it was a party, I was running the risk that you'd come.
06:28But since you did, you should enjoy yourself.
06:29Drink up.
06:31You're so welcome.
06:32Wow.
06:33I still can't believe I did this.
06:34What, ditch work or have a fun day for yourself?
06:35Both.
06:36I mean, I don't know.
06:37You're so welcome.
06:38You're so welcome.
06:39You're so welcome.
06:40I mean, the best way to honor his legacy was to throw a party where we all get drunk.
06:43Why didn't you just tell me it was a party?
06:44Well, if I told you it was a party, I was running the risk that you'd come.
06:47But since you did, you should enjoy yourself.
06:49Drink up.
06:51Wow.
06:52Still can't believe I did this.
06:53What, ditch work or have a fun day for yourself?
06:56Both.
06:57I mean, I think it's fine.
06:58I've been at that job for like 10 years.
07:00At this point, I could do it in my sleep.
07:02Do you like your job?
07:04It's fine.
07:05I mean, I used to like it a lot, but it's just not what I wanted to do.
07:09What did you want to do?
07:11Well, I took psychology courses at Wheeler and I thought I'd become a therapist.
07:16But, you know, life gets in the way.
07:19Life should not get in the way.
07:21You should be telling it where to go.
07:23Quit your job and go back to school.
07:26I mean, in theory, yes, but also college and mortgage.
07:34My grocery bill is insane.
07:36My kids eat three times a day, four times a day.
07:39There will always be reasons not to do something.
07:42We spend a third of our lives at work.
07:45If you're not getting value out of your job, you should quit.
07:49The rest will work itself out.
07:52You know what?
07:54You're right.
07:55I told Joel years ago that I wanted to go back to school and he was super supportive.
08:00I'm going to quit my job.
08:04Do it.
08:05Do it now.
08:06Really?
08:07Yes.
08:08What else are we going to do?
08:09The bread isn't even here yet.
08:10Okay.
08:11Yeah.
08:12I'm going to quit my job.
08:14Okay.
08:15Hi, Bill.
08:16This is Emily.
08:17I was wondering if you might have some time tomorrow.
08:18I'd like to have a discussion with you about my future.
08:20Okay.
08:21Great.
08:22Yeah.
08:23I'll see you at nine.
08:24You did it.
08:25I feel wild.
08:26And the bread is here.
08:27Oh, my God.
08:28This is the best day ever.
08:29So this one was taken in the big United States courthouse or something, and that's Daniel
08:47D. Lewis.
08:48They made like a big jumbo statue of him.
08:49Miss Finnick, I'm Julie, the private investigator working for Wheeler.
08:53Oh, oh, my God.
08:54Hi.
08:55Wait.
08:56You're very pretty for someone with a job.
08:58What's up with that?
09:00Of course, girlie.
09:01I'll take one of those.
09:03And stay close.
09:04Mm-hmm.
09:05No, I'm...
09:06Oh, my God!
09:09Oh, my God!
09:10Oh, my God, you made it!
09:12Julie, this is Amber.
09:14She's a hot, sexy bitch, and she is my granddaughter.
09:16Mm-hmm.
09:17Your what?
09:18My granddaughter.
09:19Brad's granddaughter from his second marriage.
09:21And we were in a sorority together.
09:22That's how Brad and I met.
09:23She was my big, and now she's my grandma.
09:25Aw.
09:26Mm-hmm.
09:27Look at us.
09:28Mm-hmm.
09:29Look at us.
09:30I can see you.
09:31Yeah.
09:32What a sweet story.
09:33Where is Pop Pop?
09:34Or, I mean, your husband.
09:35Oh, yeah.
09:36I mean, well, he bailed.
09:37Classic.
09:38He said he had a meeting.
09:39Aw, bummer.
09:40Yeah.
09:41Wait.
09:42Wanna go to Dubai?
09:43Yes.
09:44Oh, but I can't.
09:45Tomorrow?
09:46Bye.
09:47Bye.
09:48Bye.
09:49Send that to me.
09:50Sorry about that.
09:51Grandkids, am I right?
09:52They're a handful.
09:53Andrea, you're leaving already.
09:54Oh, I'm sorry, Ben.
09:55I just had a meeting I can't get out of.
09:56What?
09:57Have a whiskey for me.
09:58No, no, no.
09:59Wait.
10:00You are leaving.
10:01We are doing the circle now.
10:02Oh.
10:03Oh.
10:04Another round.
10:05The circle?
10:06Oh, it's a Ben and Holly invention.
10:08Yeah, you'll see.
10:09It has come to my attention that Andrea is leaving early.
10:12Oh.
10:13What?
10:14Oh.
10:15Oh.
10:16Oh.
10:17Oh.

10:29Oh.
10:30Oh.
10:31Oh.
10:32Oh.
10:33Oh, your boos are warranted.
10:36Life in academia can be thankless, even in the best of times, and these are not the best
10:43of times.
10:44So, we create a circle of praise to remind us, who we are and why we are here.
10:54And I'm going to start with Holly.
10:57Holly Bodgemark, I owe you my career.
11:01and I actually owe you my life your job title is provost but we all know what
11:10you really are you are the glue that holds Wheeler College together in praise

15:36how could I choose you're you're you're all devoted to Wheeler College
15:43everything you say and do you say and do with conviction
15:48that's how I know for example that Ben can't stand me
15:52but it's also how I know you're great teachers
15:57and it's just one of the many reasons that Wheeler is so special
16:03so I would like to praise each of you individually
16:08and all of you together
16:11in praise of Wheeler
16:13in praise of Wheeler
16:15time to take a breath
16:19on smoke
16:20here before to hammer blow
16:23wrap myself around
16:26I'm forced to admit that you strung together a few nice sentences
16:38that almost sounds like a compliment
16:40call it a begrudging acknowledgement
16:43hey what
16:45what did you mean when you said that you owe Holly your career
16:5140-some years ago
16:53I was teaching at Dover University in Delaware
16:57school was fine people were fine
17:02it was sort of the Delaware of universities
17:05one day a young administrator knocked on my door
17:10she had seen me deliver a paper on Lord Byron
17:15asked whether I'd ever heard of Wheeler College
17:19she saw something in you
17:21a kindred spirit
17:23it's my story Charles
17:24sorry
17:24she said that her gut told her that
17:29I would be perfect for Wheeler
17:31and that Wheeler would be perfect for me
17:34I packed my bags and I headed west
17:38that's a real leap of faith you took
17:41the way she spoke about Wheeler College
17:44she was so full of passion
17:46and passion is the only thing that matters
17:50in this corroded spittoon of a world
17:53but even passion can't stop time
18:00the way the winds are blowing
18:02soon I'll be forced to leave my post
18:04take it you don't dream of retirement
18:08no I don't play golf Charles
18:11I don't hike
18:12I don't fish
18:13what I do is read books I love
18:17and teach others how to love them too
18:19it gives shape to my days
18:21and purpose to my years
18:23I've had 40 years of purpose here
18:27and for me life without Wheeler College
18:31is it would not be life at all
18:35I felt the same when I retired
18:43and after my wife passed
18:45I was wrong
18:48well I'm glad for you
18:51I doubt I'll feel the same
18:53when they send me packing
18:54better pass boldly into that other world
18:58in the full glory of some passion
19:01than fade and wither dismally with age
19:05that's Joyce right from the dead
19:09you've read the Dubliners
19:13yes Ben
19:16I read books
19:18I admit I also do mad libs with my grandkids
19:22but in my spare time
19:24I read literature
19:26enjoy
19:29hey there
19:45why didn't you tell me it was a fun boozy party
19:49more fun if it's a surprise
19:51how was it
19:52I really had a great time
19:54I think Ben likes me
19:57or at least his content for me
19:59is simmering instead of boiling
20:01oh oh oh
20:03how was your day with Emily
20:04we had so much fun
20:07your daughter is so lovely and funny
20:11and just a great hang
20:13oh it's so wonderful
20:14yeah we got along famously
20:16honestly the whole day was fabulous
20:19we totally meshed
20:22Mona scares me
20:23really
20:24yeah
20:25I mean she's smart
20:27and cool
20:27and funny
20:28and nice
20:29but she is wild
20:31I mean she just says whatever pops into her head
20:33and she is very cavalier about like huge life decisions
20:37oh I know
20:37at Thanksgiving she came up to me
20:39and she said
20:40should I buy this racehorse
20:41I was like
20:42I don't know you lady
20:43well earlier today
20:45she convinced me to quit my job
20:47what?
20:49yeah
20:49I made an appointment
20:51to meet with Bill tomorrow
20:52and was fully intending on quitting
20:55why?
20:56I was telling her some
20:58you know
20:59true things
20:59about how I'm unsatisfied
21:01and I want to go get my master's
21:02and become a psychologist
21:03huh
21:04you're back there again
21:06why didn't you tell me?
21:08to be honest
21:09I didn't even really know
21:10I was back there
21:10until she and I started talking
21:12I mean her confidence is intoxicating
21:15if we'd hung out for 30 more minutes
21:17we'd probably be
21:18Thelma and Louise-ing it across the country by now
21:21well
21:21you're dressed for it so
21:23I'm just worried about my dad
21:26I mean is it safe for him to be with someone
21:29who just so like casually tosses out sticks of dynamite?
21:34it's fair to be worried
21:35but
21:36you clearly do want to go back to school
21:39and it seems like
21:41you wouldn't have realized it
21:42unless this dynamite thrower
21:44was throwing some dynamite
21:45so
21:46maybe your dad likes that about her?
21:51you should quit your job
21:53and become a psychologist
21:54oh I already quit
21:55oh
21:55Mona and I are going splitsies
21:58on that racehorse
21:59so
21:59we're gonna be rich
22:01hey
22:02we'll get you one of these suits too
22:04oh but I don't want one of those
22:06oh I already ordered it
22:07no
22:07yeah it's on its way
22:08thank you
22:12so things aren't great between you and Brad?
22:19I mean he's not nice to me
22:20and he's definitely always cheating on me
22:22so
22:23no
22:23do you know who it is?
22:26probably someone from Wheeler
22:27he's like obsessed with that grimy school

26:17Okay.
26:18Appreciate it.
26:19Oh, Julie Kovalenko, how nice to see you.
26:22Professor Neuendike,
26:23there is a turtle hanging from your jacket.
26:28Oh, look at that.
26:30Okay, here we go.
26:32There you go, little buddy.
26:34Can I have a minute alone with Professor Yi?
26:38Yes, of course.
26:40Good night, ladies.
26:42Can I help you, Detective?
26:43I hope so, Aurora.
26:55How do you know that name?
26:56Mrs. Finnick's been tracking her husband's whereabouts.
26:59She believes he's having an affair with someone at Wheeler named Aurora, and since you are the woman that just exited his car at midnight, I'm inclined to agree.
27:07There is no affair.
27:09Aurora isn't a person.
27:12It's a plan.
27:13And it's going to destroy Wheeler College.
