00:01You two are close, I can tell
00:03I just always thought I was going to have more time with them, you know?
00:05Hey, what are you hooligans up to tonight?
00:07This your girlfriend?
00:08This is not my girlfriend
00:09She's way too cool to be your girlfriend, Alice
00:11She is not way too cool to be my girlfriend
00:13You sure about all this?
00:14Don't you trust me?
00:15Of course I trust you, but working with a cop?
00:18Don't worry, this is going to get us both what we want
00:44I swear you've got to wear the bracelet, George
00:46Small price to pay to walk as a free man
00:48Only for 72 hours
00:49And I'm going to milk every second of it
00:51Got a ticket to be up all night
00:55Just a taste to whet my appetite
00:59It's ever wrong when it feels it's right
01:03Somebody in this joint call for a ride?

05:26he got him off the streets and got him a full ride to presswood academy daniel was the first person

06:18entry is that correct that's right okay well how did they bypass the alarm i have no idea how hard
06:23could it be people hack into the pentagon all the time they do oh yeah i read about it online
06:29right did they take any computers electronics any other valuables they went straight for the
06:34cash and jewels in the bedroom nothing else it's like they knew exactly where to look it says here
06:38you were in italy during the time of the robbery that's right so no alarm's been triggered you're
06:43halfway around the world and yet you called the security company how did you know there was a
06:46problem i got an alert on my phone that our nine-month-old son bentley was crying is that unusual
06:52no he's nine months old no the alerts on your phone our home system is programmed to alert us when
06:57he
06:57cries what was unusual was that the alert came from here inside the house but bentley was asleep

08:37brother daniel and all the work that he did with that risk youth i was very sorry to hear of
08:41his
08:41passing thank you he's the reason we became aware of jj and his exceptional gifts and gave him the
08:47scholarship if i may be completely frank with you i have had concerns about jj what kind of concerns
08:54he hasn't adjusted well to life here at presswood hasn't cultivated new friendships here respectfully
08:59it's hardly a surprise i mean most of your student body receives luxury cars and penthouses for their
09:05birthdays when my brother found jj was living on the streets he was basically homeless so yeah it's
09:10been quite the adjustment have you voiced any of these concerns with jj our students go on to become
09:15supreme court judges politicians captains of industry this is not the place where everyone receives a
09:20participation trophy so that would be a no what more can i help you with i'd like to speak with
09:27some of the students in jj's robotics class well you know that i can't legally allow you to speak to

26:52holy high school
26:54it's a bling ring
27:05why did you rob the houses
27:08we had to
27:09how did you disable the alarms
27:11traffic cameras placed your car near all three scenes
27:14we didn't do it
27:15oh really
27:16because we have a confession that says that you did
27:25they're from the skull and key society
27:27so these letters are asking you to commit three different robberies
27:30they even give you everything you need to pull them off
27:31down to the addresses and alarm codes
27:33yeah we were chosen
27:34for what
27:36to join the skull and key society
27:38you are way too young for one of those parties
27:40it's the most exclusive group there is
27:43my dad said if you get picked for the skull and key your future is guaranteed
27:46judges, ceos, diplomats, heads of state
27:49most of these people were skull and key members
27:52if you're chosen you don't say no
27:55even if it meant committing a crime
27:57yes
27:58what about jj?
27:59jj had no idea what we were doing
28:01did he ever give you access to the drone?
28:03no
28:03no he stole the drone
28:06and we always return it until it got stuck
28:08and i swear to you
28:11jj had absolutely nothing to do with this
28:17these letters were an initiation to the society
28:19rob these houses and we'll bring you another fold
28:21whoever sent these letters to the kids
28:23knew the codes and what to steal
28:25we already checked
28:26all three houses have different security companies
28:28there's a connection somewhere
28:29find it
28:29on it
28:32hey
28:32they um
28:33they said i can leave
28:35you're free to go
28:36yeah
28:36come with me
28:37i want to talk to you for a second
28:38here
28:38we'll be right back
28:39come on
28:44come on buddy
28:45here
28:45have a seat
28:47you hungry?
28:48no i'm good
28:51and britney and vince admitted to all the robbers
28:54vince?
28:55yeah
28:55why?
28:56no reason
28:59well look if it means anything
29:00he was really adamant about the fact you had nothing to do with this
29:02he's really sorry you got caught up in it
29:06now you're free to go back to school but the dean can still expel you
29:08but i didn't do it
29:09i know
29:10but you're still acting to the campus's security system
29:13but if you tell me why
29:14maybe i can talk to the dean
29:16it doesn't matter
29:17it does matter jj
29:19because if she expels you
29:20i can't do anything for you at that point
29:24thank you for your help
29:26you're welcome
29:28that officer will take you home okay?
29:30okay
29:30take care
29:36wouldn't tell you?
29:37nope
29:38so what next?
29:40we need to find whoever was sending those letters
29:45here
29:49well the paper is real
29:51as is the stamp
29:53but these are forgeries
29:58how would you know that?
30:04because she's part of the skull and key society
30:09authentic letters are handwritten in calligraphy
30:13and you didn't send any of these
30:15absolutely not
30:16first of all i don't need the money and secondly skull and key is not a game
30:20it is responsible for choosing the leaders of tomorrow
30:23based on the state of this world you may want to outsource that job
30:26who else had access to your office
30:27oh there's over 500 staff
30:29and students here any of them could have slipped in
30:37oh wait a minute how can we be sure that it wasn't the kids?
30:40because they're not the criminals
30:41they're the marks
30:42the letters are part of a sophisticated version of the pigeon drop
30:45that's right
30:46classic play
30:47you lure the mark in with the promise of a juicy carrot
30:49if they do a little something in return
30:52but Simmons he's got something
30:55the same two cleaners worked at all three houses that were robbed
30:57so we've narrowed it down
30:59but how do we flush out the real thief?
31:01we dangle our own carrot
31:04we?
31:06we?

35:28Is JJ going to be okay?
35:30I mean, is he really in trouble?
35:32He did hack into the campus' security feed.
35:34It's the dean's decision.
35:35I can't promise you anything.
35:37But if we pull this off, I think there's a good chance you guys could cut some slack.
35:40I hope so.
35:41For all of us, I mean.
35:44All right, kids.
35:45Phase one is complete.
35:46Time for phase two.
35:50Whoa.
35:51They look so real.
35:53Remember, don't touch them.
35:54At least not without gloves.
35:57Okay.
35:58Let's see.
36:00Might not stand up to a jeweler's loop.
36:02Doesn't need to.
36:03Just had to bait the hook.
36:04All right.
36:05It's go time.
36:05Put the bag in the usual drop spot.
36:07We'll be right behind you, okay?
36:13This has to work, you guys.
36:14I'm not kidding.
36:15Ellis, you're playing with the A-team now.
36:17The A-team?
36:18You're on parole and your dad's wearing an ankle bracelet.
36:20Ain't it great?
36:41All right.
36:42Finally.
36:43Here we go.
36:45False alarm.
36:46Patience, my children.
36:48Patience.
36:49Patience.
36:53This is stupid.
36:54You see those?
36:57We've been here all night.
36:58No one is coming.
36:59With 200 grand worth of watches waiting for pickup, I doubt it.
37:04Now, shh.
37:07I have to pee.
37:09Hey, by the way, happy birthday.
37:11Thanks.
37:12It's been great.
37:13Getting back in action with a cop, no less.
37:16Incoming.
37:19All right, let's move.
37:21Stop.
37:22Police.
37:26Gotcha.
37:28What's going on?
37:29I'm just a trash collector.
37:33It's not in here.
37:34You don't think?
37:35The old Baltimore side shuffle?
37:37What is it?
37:40Yeah.
37:41The bag was slit open, the watch is taken out, and the bag was retied.
37:44How is that possible?
37:45Help me check this over.
37:51False bottom.
37:53We've been outconned.
37:54Oh, wait till Lee hears about this one.
37:57Okay, now you really gotta pee.
38:01Sorry, Alice.
38:02You watch this could be anywhere by now.
38:05Actually, I think I know exactly where they are.
38:18Oh, there you are, Chris.
38:20The auditorium became free after all.
38:22So, let's talk scheduling.
38:24Wonderful.
38:37Oh, Dana, what's happening?
38:39Police.
38:40Whoa, whoa, whoa.
38:41What's this?
38:42Cut red-handed.
38:44Or, should I say, glow-handed.
38:46You know, I cut myself on that false bottom just like you did.
38:49I noticed your bandage when we met.
38:51Hey, I traced that hole in the ground to the basement boiler room.
38:54It must be an old steam vent.
38:55Who are you?
38:56I'm her old man.
38:57It was my idea to spray the watches with blacklight paint.
39:01I can explain.
39:02Which one of the cleaners was in on it with you?
39:04My sister, Estelle, had nothing to do with it.
39:06I swear to God.
39:06She keeps a notebook with the alarm codes and a list of special valuables.
39:09I just copied them.
39:11Chris, you're about to retire.
39:13Why would you do something so foolish?
39:15My parents worked two jobs each so I could attend Presswood.
39:19And for what?
39:20An elite education.
39:21No, it's about the connections.
39:23My classmates went on to become CEOs and politicians while I spent 20 years teaching their entitled
39:28spawn just so I could retire with a pension that doesn't even cover my groceries.
39:33And you knew those kids would do anything to get into Skull and Key.
39:37You know, my daughter and I pulled a few scams in our time.
39:39But one thing we would never do is use children to do our dirty work for us.
39:45You, sir, are despicable.
39:48Cuff this man so I can take my dad for breakfast, please?
39:56Max, wait.
39:58You knew how important this was to me and you really came through.
40:01Thanks.
40:03No problem.
40:04Take care of yourself, George.
40:05Yeah.
40:16Dean's not going to expel you.
40:18In fact, she wants your input on how to make the place more inclusive.
40:20You serious?
40:21Yeah.
40:21That's great, man.
40:23What's going to happen to the rest of the kids?
40:24I think I'll let off with warnings, but honestly, I think they're more afraid of their parents
40:28than the cops right now.
40:29Yeah.
40:35Can you, uh, give me a sec?
40:37JJ, can we talk?
40:42I heard you were down here.
40:43It's nice.
40:45What do you want, Vince?
40:47Look, man, I'm sorry.
40:49I used your drone, but I never thought any of this was going to come back to you.
40:53Well, I did.
40:54So, um, thanks for nothing, yeah?
40:57And, uh, thanks for not telling them why you changed the security footage.
41:03I just need some time before I tell my parents about me.
41:08And about us.
41:19There is no us anymore, Vince.
41:39So, it was Vince you were sneaking out to see at night.
41:41He's not out.
41:43Those are my places to say.
41:44You're a man of your word.
41:46Proud of you.
41:48And Daniel would be really proud of you.
41:50Oh, you know what?
41:51He'd be real proud of you, too, for trying to fix up his boat.
41:54Trying?
41:54What do you mean, trying?
41:55I mean, trying.
41:56Listen, you give me one of these, and I will show you how it's done.
41:59Oh, yeah?
41:59Man.
42:00Okay.
42:00Let me see what you got.
42:02Okay.
42:03Oh, man.
42:05That's not how you stand.
42:06Come on.
42:06Lean into it.
42:07There you go.
42:08Yeah.
42:08There you go.
42:14Thanks for the best birthday a father could ask for.
42:17It all felt like the old days.
42:19You know, seeing those kids, their life on campus, it got me thinking.
42:25If we'd see you to a school like Presswood, maybe you'd be a doctor now or something instead.
42:30Dad.
42:30Our life was our life.
42:31It became your life, too.
42:32I just worried that sometimes you didn't really have a choice.
42:36I had a choice.
42:38And our life was the best school that I ever could have had.
42:40And you were the best teacher.
42:42Wow.
42:43You're also the best dad, too.
42:46So don't worry about it.
42:52I'm proud of you, bud.
42:55Thanks, dad.
43:06I'll see you soon.
43:11I'll see you soon.
43:23I'll see you soon.
43:44I'll see you soon.
43:44Bye.
43:44Bye.
43:45Bye.
43:45Bye.
