00:00Ah, morning. Did we have a meeting set?
00:14No, but we needed to speak with you immediately.
00:17We believe we've solved the case.
00:19Excellent!
00:20Last night we gained access to this file called Project Aurora.
00:25It's Brad Binnick's secret plan to remake Wheeler College.
00:30Humanities departments shuttered, hundreds of faculty laid off,
00:33historic buildings torn down.
00:35There's only one person at Wheeler who could have both known about this
00:39and had a motive to stop it from happening.
00:41And that person...
00:43is you, Mr. Berenger.
00:47I... excuse me?
00:49Guys, no. He's the one who put the whole deal together.
00:52Why would he sabotage it?
00:54Well, that's what we couldn't figure out until we read the file.
00:57Here's our theory.
00:59After you and Binnick shook hands on the deal for his donation,
01:03he must have told you what he was really planning.
01:05This whole school would become a laboratory of efficiency,
01:09churning out business leaders, innovators.
01:11Right, but it'll still teach music and theater, literature.
01:15No, all that crap is history.
01:17And so is history.
01:18We have any more champagne?
01:19You were worried because you were trying to parlay this splashy donation
01:24into a job at Rycliffe University in Texas.
01:28You'd already had several meetings there,
01:30likely bragging about how well you'd done at raising money here at Wheeler.
01:35Problem was, if word about Aurora got out,
01:37the faculty and staff would revolt.
01:40No university wants to hire a guy
01:42who was chased out of his last gig by an angry mob.
01:46You needed time to land the job
01:48and make your escape before it all blew up in your face.
01:51So, you created a fake account,
01:54sent yourself a threatening email,
01:57and stole your own laptop.
01:58It was a false flag operation to make you look like the victim.
02:02You hired us to investigate, hoping it would slow Vinnick down.
02:06But it didn't work.
02:08At the portrait unveiling, Vinnick must have told you
02:10that he was going full speed ahead
02:12with the announcement of his donation.
02:15You panicked again,
02:17threw the portrait in a garbage can,
02:19and used the cigar Vinnick handed out that night
02:21to delay the burning until you were on stage
02:24giving the introductory speech.
02:27Perfect alibi.
02:27This is insane.
02:29None of this is true,
02:31except for the part about Rycliffe, which is true.
02:33How'd you know about that?
02:34Well, you've been spending a lot of time in Dallas,
02:36and you're in such a good mood at Vinnick's 50th reunion party.
02:40Figured the deal must have gone through.
02:42Okay, yes, I did take a higher-paying job at Rycliffe,
02:46and yes, I knew that Vinnick had some unorthodox plans
02:50to reform Wheeler,
02:52but I swear I had nothing to do with the blackmail or the painting.
02:56And also, why would I leak my own sensitive information
02:59to the campus paper?
03:01To throw us off.
03:02What matters is you are the only person
03:04that knew about Vinnick's plan.
03:06No, he's not.
03:09Jack might be a craven, self-serving buffoon,
03:13but he could never have pulled this off himself.
03:15He's not nearly smart enough.
03:18I know for a fact that he didn't do it,
03:20because I did.
03:30Well, I'm confused.
03:33Oh, of course you are.
03:34Oh, by the way, I'm very impressed.
03:36Through this whole thing,
03:37I thought you were merely a mediocre academic,
03:40when in reality, you're also a mediocre detective.
03:43How did you know about Project Aurora?
03:47Well, I knew the deal was getting close,
03:50so I came by to speak with Berenger
03:53about securing some money for my department.
03:56I waited in the hallway right here
03:58that connects to Hawley's office.
04:01You're not even going to recognize anything
04:02when I get through with this.
04:03And that's when I heard Vinnick explaining
04:05what he had in store for Wheeler College.
04:08After they left,
04:09I searched for some hard evidence of the plot,
04:12failing to find any.
04:14I stole the laptop,
04:15I created the Wheeler Guardian account,
04:17and sent the threatening email.
04:20I had hoped it would be enough
04:22to force Hawley and Jack
04:24to cut ties with Vinnick for good,
04:26but it was not.
04:28So I left a more menacing note,
04:31stole the portrait,
04:32and then set it ablaze,
04:34using Vinnick's cigar,
04:37which gave me some time to escape.
04:40At least I got one thing right.
04:41Ah, yes, you did.
04:42Well done.
04:43You're half as accurate as a broken clock.
04:46I can't believe you would do this.
04:48But, Hawley, I did.
04:50And I can prove it.
04:53President Berenger's computer
04:55and the fountain pen
04:58that I used to leave the note.
05:01If you'll examine it carefully,
05:03you'll find that it has a distinctive chipped nib.
05:06Hawley, they were bound to find out the truth eventually,
05:11and my career was going to end one way or the other.
05:16And now that I have confessed my crimes,
05:19I resign from Wheeler College.
05:24Effective immediately.
05:25How the hell did they get a copy of Aurora?
05:37It hardly matters.
05:38You clearly misled us and the board,
05:41so they voted to reject your donation.
05:43You don't get to reject me.
05:44I reject you.
05:46Okay, that's fine.
05:48I was trying to save this place.
05:49Project Aurora would have churned out millionaires
05:52and billionaires,
05:53kids who make real money in tech and business.
05:56Maybe, but there are a lot of schools for that.
05:59Wheeler has a different mission
06:00for a different kind of kid.
06:02We value community and knowledge for knowledge's sake.
06:06Community! Knowledge!
06:08We're smart and broke!
06:10God, you're pathetic.
06:12Oh, this week sucks!
06:14First my wife asked me for a divorce,
06:16and now this.
06:17Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
06:20She's taking me to the cleaners.
06:21She's asking for 200K a month,
06:23and she's definitely going to get it
06:24because she's prego,
06:25and this country hates men.
06:27The whole thing's a nightmare.
06:28I mean, she's hot,
06:29but she's not 40 million hot.
06:31Out of curiosity, who is 40 million hot?
06:34Kaya Gerber, Sidney Sweeney, 1988 L. McPherson,
06:38and Vanna White when she's facing the board.
06:40Why am I the only good person in the world?
06:43Well, Wheeler College owes you both a debt of gratitude,
06:52which we literally have no way to repay.
06:55Is the school going to survive without his money?
06:58I honestly don't know,
06:59but if we go under,
07:00better to end on our own terms.
07:03Does either of you have, like, a rich, sickly aunt?
07:06Worth a shot.
07:09Well, you got the juicy case you wanted,
07:11and you solved it.
07:14What's wrong?
07:16The perp just confessed.
07:18I didn't really solve the case.
07:20Oh, God, no.
07:21That's crap.
07:23A win is a win.
07:25Take the win.
07:28Okay, fine.
07:29You're right.
07:30I'm amazing.
07:32Oh, can you do the debrief tomorrow?
07:34I have to go see my mom.
07:37Her and Apollo just broke up,
07:38and she's moving out.
07:40Because she helped us?
07:42No, no, no, no.
07:42It's been in the works for a while.
07:45Apparently, a couple weeks ago,
07:46he said he wanted to have a baby with her,
07:48and she was like,
07:49I'm 67.
07:51And he was like,
07:52age is just a number.
07:53And she was like,
07:54not in this context.
07:56Yeah, probably for the best.
07:57Yeah.
08:04You already miss this place?
08:09I do.
08:11Well, I, for one,
08:11I'm glad you're going.
08:13I have a job to do here,
08:14and seeing you in that suit
08:16is way too distracting.
08:18Mm-hmm.
08:19You heard about Ben?
08:21Honestly, I wasn't surprised.
08:25But he'll be remembered as a hero.
08:28Want to get dinner?
08:29Tomorrow, okay?
08:31Calvert's having surgery.
08:33It's important I'd be there to support him.
08:36Hey.
08:38Wake up.
08:41What time is it?
08:4210 a.m.
08:43You slept longer than I did,
08:44and I had general anesthesia.
08:46You miss CJ.
08:47He says to say hello.
08:49Once I'm all healed up,
08:50we're going to go see some baseball
08:51in the spring.
08:52Oh.
08:53I'm so glad I did this.
08:55Well, I won't say I told you so,
08:57because I'm not a petty person.
09:01I thought you might bring Mona.
09:03How's that going?
09:04Good.
09:05Although we're entering uncharted waters.
09:08She and I won't be seeing each other every day,
09:10so I think I'm going to cook her
09:12my famous chicken piccata
09:14and ask her to go away for the weekend.
09:17I think that's a good idea.
09:19Go do that.
09:19Oh, I don't want to leave you here alone.
09:22I'm fine.
09:22Scram.
09:23Why are you so eager to get rid of me?
09:26Am I interrupting?
09:27Not at all.
09:29Joy, this is my friend Charles.
09:32He was just leaving.
09:35Pleasure to meet you, Joy.
09:37Not sure what you see in Calvert,
09:39but otherwise you seem lovely.
09:41Likewise.
09:42I asked Calvert out to dinner.
09:45He took a spill to try to get out of it,
09:46but I don't give up easy.
09:48So this is our first date.
09:50Not quite as romantic as I was hoping it would be.
09:53Oh, I disagree.
09:55I already got you in bed.
09:57You're half naked.
09:59This is fourth date stuff.
10:02I'll take good care of her.
10:04I'm sure you will.
10:06Best chicken I ever had in my life.
10:09In 1970, Lavender Highway did an East Coast tour with Santana,
10:14and that dude could cook.
10:16Yeah.
10:18Hey.
10:20I want to ask you something.
10:23What if you and I had a little adventure,
10:27went away for the weekend?
10:29I'm thinking Carmel may, or, you know,
10:30if we're feeling saucy, Monterey.
10:33I have a better idea.
10:36We're moving to Croatia for a year.
10:40Wait, who's we?
10:43We's us?
10:44Yes.
10:45I am going to Zagreb to teach a course
10:48on Slavic influences in California folk music.
10:52Another professor dropped out at the last minute,
10:55so they offered it to me,
10:56and I said, yes.
10:58I leave in a week.
11:00And you want me to go with you?
11:02Just drop everything and move to Croatia?
11:07But I've got Emily and the grandkids
11:10and my job with Julie.
11:12I'm sure both of us could think of a million reasons
11:15not to go, but life is short.
11:18We've both been to Monterey.
11:21Have you ever been to Croatia?
11:24No.
11:25Well, neither have I.
11:26Sweetheart, we have more summers behind us
11:31than ahead of us,
11:32and I want to spend as many of those summers
11:36as I can having new adventures.
11:41Screw it.
11:43Let's go to Croatia.
11:46Oh.
11:49Ugh, I give up.
11:51I'm so bad at this stuff.
11:53Apollo used to handle all of it.
11:55We got this.
11:56We don't need him.
11:58I mean, I never needed him,
12:00but he was very sweet
12:02and a great listener.
12:05He tried to enter himself into a dog show.
12:08No, we went to a dog show,
12:11and he wanted to see if he could run
12:12the agility course faster than the Boston Terrier,
12:14and he couldn't,
12:16and he was arrested.
12:17Fine.
12:18He was a loon.
12:19Yeah.
12:20It's just the older I get,
12:21the more I appreciate companionship.
12:22Well, I'm only 20 minutes away.
12:26You have me now.
12:29I do.
12:31Okay, get to it.
12:32Oh, no, these don't make sense.
12:33Come on!
12:41Great.
12:41Okay, yeah, I'll speak with you soon.
12:43Okay, goodbye.
12:44So, I just got off the phone with Holly,
12:48and if I want it,
12:50the job is mine.
12:51That's great.
12:52I mean, I can't even believe how perfect it is.
12:55They don't want to hire anybody full-time,
12:57and I was like, great,
12:58I don't want to work full-time,
12:59and I get to take classes for free,
13:01so it's like a win-win-win.
13:04In a few weeks,
13:05I'll be raising money for Wheeler College,
13:07and then in a few years,
13:08I'll be able to get my master's in social work
13:12and become a therapist.
13:14Big changes.
13:16For both of us.
13:17Yeah.
13:18I mean,
13:19this is a bold move you're making.
13:22It is.
13:24It really is.
13:25Yep.
13:30Dad.
13:31Yeah.
13:31Do you really want to move so far away?
13:37I want to be with Mona.
13:41You didn't really answer the question.
13:44I know how incredible she is.
13:47She makes you believe that anything is possible.
13:50She's a real force of nature.
13:53Never met anyone like her.
13:55Hmm.
13:56I don't want to lose her.
13:58But I also don't want to go to Zahra.
14:04I know.
14:08We went to Santa Fe once,
14:09and you kept saying you couldn't get used to the time difference.
14:15You know,
14:15our relationship can't work
14:17if decisions are made out of desperation.
14:21You need to talk to her.
14:24Yeah, I know.
14:36So that's...
14:38That's where I stand.
14:41Is there anything I can say to change your mind?
14:46I don't think there is.
14:49I understand why you want to do this.
14:51I love that you're the kind of person
14:53who does this kind of thing
14:55at the drop of a hat.
14:58It's just that I spent the last couple of years
15:01building this
15:02whole new life for myself,
15:05and I like that life.
15:07I don't want to leave it.
15:11So...
15:12there it is.
15:14I don't want to leave it.
15:15I don't want to leave it.
15:16Wow.
15:17I haven't been dumped since the 70s.
15:21I forgot what this feels like.
15:24I don't like it.
15:30Okay.
15:31No more wasting time on sad breakups.
15:33Let's raise a glass of Irish coffee
15:36and toast our
15:38former relationship
15:41slash
15:42current friendship.
15:45Come what might,
15:47she would be wild,
15:49untrammeled,
15:50free.
15:52James Joyce,
15:54Ireland's greatest writer.
15:55when you know
15:58you gotta let it go
16:00cause the party
16:01ain't jumpin'
16:02like it used to.
16:04Even though this
16:05might bruise you,
16:07let it burn.
16:10Usher,
16:11America's Hottest Man.
16:12Well, it ain't no use
16:14to sit and wonder
16:15why, baby.
16:18Even you don't know
16:19by now.
16:21And it ain't no use
16:23to sit and wonder
16:24why, baby.
16:25It'll never do somehow
16:29When you rooster crows
16:32at the break of dawn
16:34Look out your window
16:36and I'll be gone
16:39You're the reason
16:41I'm a-travelin' on
16:43But don't think twice
16:45It's alright
16:46So no pain at all anymore?
16:51It gets a little sore
16:52at the end of the day,
16:53but all in all,
16:54It's a miracle.
16:56Joyce says
16:57when I'm done with PT,
16:58we're takin' a trip
16:59to Costa Rica.
17:01She wants to go
17:02zip-lining.
17:04I told her I'd wait
17:05for her on the ground
17:06where humans
17:06are supposed to be.
17:07I'm happy for you, buddy.
17:11I know I said it before,
17:12but thank you for pestering
17:15me about the surgery.
17:17For your next trick,
17:18I need you to find
17:19a lady for yourself.
17:21Someone smart and fun
17:22so the four of us
17:23can double date.
17:24Well, maybe someday.
17:26I'm still working
17:27through everything
17:28with Mona.
17:28You miss her.
17:32I do.
17:34But I also know
17:35that we weren't
17:36meant to be.
17:37I mean, just two
17:38totally different
17:39philosophies of life.
17:41I look both ways
17:42before I cross the street.
17:44She does cartwheels
17:46into traffic.
17:47Well, someday soon
17:49you'll find you're
17:50ready to try again.
17:52Until then,
17:53third wheel it is.
17:55Maybe you could
18:00open a can of tuna,
18:01set it inside
18:02her AC vent,
18:03then park it
18:04back on the block.
18:06I can do that.
18:08Yeah.
18:09You're going soft, Mars.
18:12Ooh, that was
18:13a good one.
18:15Yeah, it was.
18:16This show's great.
18:18Are you still
18:19criticizing her
18:19detective work
18:20in your head?
18:21Her camera is too big.
18:22It's conspicuous.
18:23Well, the girl
18:24who plays Veronica
18:25is very winning.
18:27Should I ever do
18:27anything else?
18:28I don't know.
18:29It's the first TV show
18:30I've watched in 25 years.
18:31Oh, when we're done
18:33with this, Megan said
18:34that we need to watch
18:35pals.
18:39Friends?
18:40Friends.
18:41Okay.
18:43Okay, I have to go.
18:44Oh, I'm doing
18:46that thing with Charles.
18:48I'll see you next week.
18:49Yeah.
18:49Okay.
18:52The client said
18:53her husband's there
18:54at 7 p.m. sharp.
18:55Relax.
18:56We have time.
18:56I just got to grab the file.
18:59Surprise!
19:01What in the world?
19:03Charles Neuendijk,
19:04by the power vested in me
19:06by the state of California,
19:08you are officially
19:09a private investigator.
19:12As of yesterday,
19:13you have enough hours
19:13to get your license.
19:15Congratulations.
19:21Before I started working here,
19:22I spent a lot of time alone.
19:27My life got a whole lot richer
19:29when I got out into the world
19:31and started connecting
19:33with people I care about.
19:35So, thank you.
19:47All right.
19:49Which one's better?
19:51I'm Charles Neuendijk, P.I.
19:54Or,
19:56I'm Charles Neuendijk, P.I.
20:00Number one.
20:00You do it all at once.
20:01Yeah.
20:02He's crazy.
20:03The flip is the exclamation point.
20:05It's like,
20:06you thought I was just
20:07Charles Neuendijk,
20:09and then,
20:10bam!
20:10Yeah, he's right.
20:11Forget what I said.
20:12Second one.
20:12Okay, so from now on,
20:14it's gonna be,
20:16I'm Charles Neuendijk.
20:18P.I.
20:21Cool.
20:24Thanks for coming.
20:26Of course.
20:27One question.
20:28Why did you invite me?
20:29Because it means a lot to Charles
20:32that you're here.
20:33Oh.
20:35And
20:35because I
20:38wanted to apologize.
20:41As you remember from Thanksgiving,
20:43I had a lot of emotional issues
20:45that I hadn't dealt with.
20:46I truly thought
20:47I had it under control,
20:49but
20:49shockingly,
20:50I did not.
20:52And
20:52it
20:54made me do some things
20:55that were pretty hurtful
20:56and callous.
20:57And weird.
20:58And weird.
21:00Yeah.
21:01But
21:01I'm
21:02getting better.
21:04A work in progress,
21:05but
21:05I'm getting better.
21:07And
21:07I'm really sorry.
21:10I accept your apology.
21:12And I'm really happy
21:13for you and your mom.
21:16Ironically,
21:16you were
21:17kind of right.
21:19When I asked you
21:20to do those background checks,
21:21I was actually
21:22playing a long game.
21:22I hired you
21:24as an excuse
21:25to spend some time
21:26with you.
21:28Really?
21:29I don't know.
21:30When you came to the cafe
21:32after the Pacific View case
21:33ended and you said
21:34those nice things about me,
21:35I thought
21:35maybe there was a vibe
21:38there.
21:39Wow.
21:40So I just
21:42misread that
21:43situation
21:44even more
21:44terribly
21:45than I thought.
21:48Well,
21:49thanks for coming.
21:51Really, dude?
21:52I'm kidding.
21:54Do you want
21:54to get a drink sometime?
21:56Yes.
21:57Good.
22:02Told you.
22:03Okay.
22:19I miss this place.
22:20Gets under your skin,
22:21doesn't it?
22:23Yeah, it really does.
22:25How'd the class is?
22:26Ugh, kicking my butt.
22:28Joel's such a godsend.
22:29I get home late
22:30three nights a week,
22:31so we made the boys
22:32a chore schedule.
22:34Watching Jace
22:35try to load
22:35the dishwasher
22:36is the highest
22:37form of entertainment.
22:39But you're glad
22:40you took the job.
22:42Ugh, God, totally.
22:43Everyone's so passionate.
22:45My first week here,
22:46like 20 people
22:47stopped by my office
22:48just to ask
22:48if they could help me out.
22:50It's like everybody
22:50has the same goal,
22:51to make this school awesome.
22:53It's genuinely moving.
22:57You all right?
23:00Yeah, you know,
23:01I just...
23:02figured something out.
23:04You want to buy you
23:04a cup of coffee?
23:06Yeah.
23:11Charles, hi.
23:13Wait, do you still work here?
23:15I honestly forget.
23:16I haven't been sleeping a lot.
23:18Just visiting, Emily.
23:20Thought I'd say hi.
23:21Oh.
23:21How's Jack doing
23:22down in Dallas?
23:23He's really taken to the city.
23:27Don't mess with Texas!
23:28Yeah!
23:31Can I ask you a question
23:32that's been bugging me
23:33about the case?
23:34Oh, sure.
23:36I shouldn't have been surprised
23:38when Dr. Cole confessed.
23:41I mean, he loved this place so much,
23:43he would have done anything
23:44to save it.
23:45But there were other people
23:47who loved Wheeler College
23:49that way.
23:50I'm sorry.
23:52What are you implying?
23:54Ben Cole took the fall
23:55for you, Holly.
23:57Didn't he?
23:58What?
23:59No, Charles, he did not.
24:02I have no reason
24:03to blackmail Behringer.
24:05I didn't even know
24:05about this Project Aurora
24:07until you and Julie
24:08told me about it
24:09after the heist.
24:11You see,
24:11I don't think that's true.
24:13I think that you found out
24:15what Vinick was gonna do
24:16to Wheeler College
24:17that first night.
24:19I think you realized
24:20that no one person
24:21was gonna be able
24:22to stop him.
24:23In fact,
24:24I think there was
24:24a whole group of people
24:26who conspired
24:27to save Wheeler College.
24:30But,
24:30you were the ringleader.
24:32And how do you know that?
24:34I asked Julie
24:35to send me a scan
24:36of the NDA
24:37that you signed
24:38with Kovalenko Investigations
24:40that day you walked
24:41into our office.
24:43The pen you used
24:44had a very distinctive,
24:46chipped,
24:47nib.
24:54Wheeler lost
24:55$400 million
24:56in one of its
24:57best professors.
24:59There's no need
25:00to lose you two.
25:01I'm not gonna say anything.
25:03I just wanna know
25:03how you pulled it off.
25:06Um,
25:07well,
25:09after years of
25:10courting Vinick,
25:12flattering him,
25:13sucking up,
25:14he and Behringer
25:15agreed to terms
25:16and shook hands.
25:17They were a little drunk.
25:19Kelsey was
25:20doing her thing.
25:21Baby,
25:22I'm taking off.
25:22Yeah, yeah, yeah,
25:23whatever.
25:24I was gathering
25:25my things next door.
25:26They didn't even notice
25:27I was there.
25:28Ah, this place
25:29gonna look a lot
25:29different in a year.
25:31Oh, la, la, la, la, la,
25:32I don't wanna hear.
25:33It's a plausible
25:33deniability.
25:34Look, you can do
25:35whatever you want
25:35after this contract
25:36is signed.
25:36And that'll be
25:37the problem
25:38before if it takes
25:38us to office
25:38after I'm gone.
25:40This office?
25:41I'm gonna knock
25:41this whole building down.
25:42Gonna build myself
25:43a primo podcasting studio.
25:46Oh, Brad,
25:46please, stop.
25:48You should be
25:48thanking me.
25:49All these people
25:50should be thanking me.
25:51Wheeler's a pit.
25:53I can't wait
25:54to fire all these
25:55useless professors,
25:56tear this place
25:57down to the studs,
25:58and build a real school.
26:00After they left,
26:01I searched Jack's computer
26:03for proof of Vinnick's plan,
26:04but I couldn't find it.
26:06I needed to buy more time,
26:07so I stole the laptop
26:09and I sent
26:10the threatening email
26:11to Jack.
26:12So you don't
26:13wanna call the police?
26:14I'm being blackmailed.
26:16We have to be able
26:18to control
26:18the narrative here.
26:20I say we hire
26:21a private investigator.
26:22You know what?
26:22I have a great idea.
26:24We're gonna hire
26:24a private investigator.
26:26Great idea.
26:27So you headed up
26:28the investigation
26:29in order to keep tabs on us.
26:33I was hoping
26:34that you would uncover
26:34hard evidence
26:35of Vinnick's plan
26:36so I could leak it
26:37to the board
26:38and torpedo the deal.
26:40Why burn the painting?
26:42What did Vinnick say
26:43that forced you
26:44to escalate things?
26:45Well, actually,
26:47he didn't say it to me.
26:49So if you'd like
26:50to thank anyone
26:51in your remarks,
26:52you should probably
26:53thank the entire
26:54art department.
26:55First of all,
26:56thanking people
26:57is a sign of weakness.
26:58And second,
26:59once I take over,
26:59the whole art department
27:01is gonna be...
27:02So you and your
27:03little friends
27:03might wanna spruce up
27:04those resumes, sweetheart.
27:07These mini empanadas
27:09are amazing.
27:09Did you make these?
27:11If you made these,
27:12you can stay.
27:13Betsy, what are you doing?
27:17Holly, he lied to us.
27:19He's gonna fire me.
27:20He's gonna fire all of us.
27:22I know.
27:23And I'm trying to stop him.
27:25Do you wanna help me?
27:27Yeah.
27:27Good.
27:28Okay.
27:29If anyone asks,
27:30and they will,
27:31you say this.
27:32I just hope we didn't
27:33scare that guy away.
27:35I know we're suspicious
27:36of corporate types
27:37around here,
27:38but the museum
27:38could really use his money.
27:41Welcome to the resistance.
27:42At first,
27:45it was supposed
27:45to just be me and Betsy.
27:48She's the one
27:48who sent Julie
27:50the text messages
27:50from the Wheeler Guardian account.
27:53But as things
27:54got more complex,
27:55we needed more
27:56and more people.
27:57Can you leak
27:57these documents
27:58to the paper
27:59in a way no one can trace?
28:00Oh, hell yeah.
28:03This is the best day
28:03of my life.
28:04Really?
28:05Yeah, my life
28:05kinda stinks.
28:06Been living in my office,
28:07had to sell my motorcycle.
28:09I just carry the helmet around
28:10because it looks cool.
28:11I get all my meals
28:12from the garbage.
28:13Okay, we don't have time
28:14for this.
28:15Just leak the documents.
28:16You got it.
28:17Eventually,
28:17we had an entire team
28:19trying to take down Vinick.
28:20All right,
28:20I don't know if Neuendijk
28:21is coming to the James Joyce
28:23event or not,
28:23but if he does,
28:24it's business as usual.
28:26Keep an eye on him
28:26and see if he seems suspicious
28:28of anyone in particular.
28:29And reminder,
28:31do not give me any details
28:32about anything
28:33you have done so far.
28:34I cannot and will not lie
28:36if Julie or Charles
28:38questions me.
28:39Your ethical code
28:40is sexy as hell.
28:41It's not happening,
28:42Slavosh.
28:43Move on.
28:44All that time
28:45questioning
28:46all those people
28:48trying to find
28:49the one person
28:50who did it,
28:51turned out
28:51they all did.
28:53Not all of them.
28:54Mona was never involved
28:55because you and she
28:57bonded so quickly.
28:59And there was
29:00one other person
29:00that I tried
29:02to keep in the dark,
29:03but eventually...
29:05Tell me the whole story.
29:07What are you talking about?
29:09Neuendijk
29:09just chased Andrea
29:11halfway across campus
29:13on a scooter
29:14and now the P.I.
29:16is grilling her
29:17near the turtle pond.
29:18And you have
29:19ten secret meetings a week
29:21and you haven't invited me
29:22to a single one.
29:24And frankly,
29:24that hurts my feelings.
29:26Now, let me help you.
29:28I told him the whole story
29:29and he didn't say a word
29:31until I was done.
29:32And then he asked me
29:33one question.
29:35I assume you've
29:36gotten rid of the evidence.
29:38Oh yeah.
29:39It's safe.
29:40I stashed the computer
29:41and the pen
29:42in the old supply closet
29:43in the basement
29:44of the science lab.
29:46Good.
29:47In a million years,
29:48I never thought
29:49he'd go get them
29:50and do what he did.
29:52He knew it was only
29:53a matter of time
29:54before Julie and I
29:55realized that
29:56Berenger was innocent.
29:58Next logical person
29:59would have been you.
30:00Poor Ben.
30:01This place
30:02was all he had.
30:04He lives alone.
30:05He has no family.
30:07Every day I think
30:08about turning myself in
30:09so he could get
30:10his old job back.
30:11If you did that,
30:13scandal would engulf
30:14the entire school.
30:16Max, Betsy, Pamela.
30:18You'd all be fired.
30:20Ben did what he did
30:21to prevent that.
30:22Now, the best way
30:24for you to say thank you
30:26is to stay here
30:28and keep Wheeler safe.
30:31you went here
30:36as an undergraduate,
30:37right?
30:38Mm-hmm.
30:38What did you major in?
30:40Theater.
30:42Well, you gave
30:43a hell of a performance.
30:44good, Charles Neuendijk.
30:56Nice to see you, too.
30:58Got a sec.
31:00How's retirement
31:01treating you?
31:02I wake up,
31:04I walk,
31:04I read my books,
31:06I fall asleep,
31:08and I get up
31:09and do it all over again
31:10the next day.
31:13Have you spoken to Holly?
31:15Rarely.
31:16The last thing I want
31:17is to be a burden.
31:20Although she did call me
31:21this morning,
31:22she filled me in
31:23on a few recent developments.
31:28I'm glad she's there
31:32in these troubled times.
31:35Wheeler needs her,
31:36you know,
31:36steady hand.
31:38Hmm.
31:42So, what brings you
31:44to my door, Charles?
31:45I need you to do me a favor.
31:48Deliver this for me.
31:50In person?
31:52Oh, this is very
31:53cloak and dagger.
31:55What's inside?
31:56Just a brief note.
31:58And why can't
31:59you do this yourself?
32:01Doesn't matter.
32:02Just know
32:02the contents
32:04are important
32:04and it needs
32:05to be delivered
32:06as soon as possible.
32:07Well, I...
32:09I suppose
32:10I do owe you one.
32:12Consider it done.
32:18Take care of yourself.
32:20Goodbye, Charles.
32:21I sincerely hope
32:23I never see you again.
32:25I have a feeling
32:26you will.
32:45Excuse me.
32:47Are you
32:48Didi Santos Cordero?
32:51I am.
32:51And you are?
32:53Dr. Benjamin Colton.
32:55A former colleague
32:56of mine
32:56asked me to
32:57deliver this to you
32:58although I have
33:00no earthly idea
33:01why.
33:03Didi,
33:04please take care
33:05of Ben.
33:06He's a very
33:06stubborn professor
33:07and he needs
33:08your help.
33:09Charles.
33:13Are you also
33:14a professor
33:15of engineering?
33:16Oh, God, no.
33:17No, no.
33:17No, I teach
33:18well, I taught
33:21English literature
33:23until quite recently
33:25when I, um,
33:27well, I'm
33:28I'm retired.
33:30Well, thank you
33:31for delivering this, Ben.
33:33Sorry.
33:33Do you prefer
33:34Benjamin or Ben?
33:35I prefer
33:36Dr. Benjamin Cole.
33:38May I ask
33:38what's in the note?
33:39I have been
33:41looking for someone
33:42to refurbish
33:43our library
33:43and Charles
33:44thought you
33:45might fit the bill.
33:46Could I show it to you?
33:47Oh, yes,
33:48I suppose.
33:50I do enjoy
33:51a nice library.
33:53Ours is small
33:53by your standards
33:54but maybe you could
33:55help us improve it.
33:56We could get a coffee
33:57on the way
33:58if you'd like.
33:59Or actually,
34:00it's almost happy hour
34:01if you want to
34:02stay for a bit.
34:02Oh, oh, oh,
34:04yeah.
34:05You know our love
34:09will not fade away
34:10You know our love
34:14will not fade away
34:16Not fade away
34:18So,
34:20how did everyone
34:21like the book?
34:22What book?
34:23I wasn't asked
34:24to read a book.
34:25I was asked to read
34:26The Hunt for Red October.
34:28You got a problem
34:29with my choice?
34:30Several.
34:30The plot is preposterous,
34:32the dialogue juvenile
34:34and the sentence structure
34:35makes Hemingway
34:36look like a Marcel Proust.
34:38Oh, for Christ's sake,
34:39I can't do this again.
34:40We get rid of one
34:41pompous professor
34:42just to get another one
34:43right back in.
34:44Did you like it or not?
34:46I couldn't put it down.
34:48My heart was racing.
34:49I mean, my God,
34:50what a ripping yarn.
34:52And now the dust jacket
34:54suggests Jack Ryan
34:55has further adventures.
34:57Oh, yes,
34:58but don't read the books.
34:59Watch the movies.
35:00All the actors
35:01who play him
35:01are gorgeous.
35:03Alex Baldman,
35:05Harrison Ford,
35:07Jim Office,
35:09Boston Batman.
35:11Well, excellent.
35:12Perhaps we should
35:12form a cinema club as well.
35:14No, Calvert will make us
35:16watch Caddyshack
35:17for the millionth time.
35:19It's a classic.
35:20How are you
35:21in this book club?
35:22You don't even live here.
35:25Shoo.
35:26Be gone.
35:28You know,
35:28I think you and I
35:29might get along
35:30after all.
35:30Beat it,
35:34Jabo.
35:34My love's bigger
35:36than a cat in the air.
35:39I tried to show you
35:41but you tried me bad.
35:45Your love for me
35:46has got to be real.
