1
00:00:09,884 --> 00:00:11,886
[gentle, intriguing music playing]

2
00:00:11,970 --> 00:00:14,305
Ah. Morning. Did we have a meeting set?

3
00:00:14,389 --> 00:00:17,017
No, but we needed to speak
with you immediately.

4
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:18,935
We believe we've solved the case.

5
00:00:19,728 --> 00:00:20,687
Excellent!

6
00:00:20,770 --> 00:00:25,275
Last night, we gained access
to this file called Project Aurora.

7
00:00:25,358 --> 00:00:30,113
It's Brad Vinick's secret plan
to remake Wheeler College.

8
00:00:30,196 --> 00:00:33,366
Humanities departments shuttered,
hundreds of faculty laid off,

9
00:00:33,450 --> 00:00:34,951
historic buildings torn down.

10
00:00:35,035 --> 00:00:38,872
There's only one person at Wheeler
who could have both known about this

11
00:00:38,955 --> 00:00:41,583
and had a motive
to stop it from happening.

12
00:00:41,666 --> 00:00:43,084
And that person…

13
00:00:45,170 --> 00:00:46,713
is you, Mr. Berenger.

14
00:00:46,796 --> 00:00:47,797
[scoffs]

15
00:00:47,881 --> 00:00:49,299
I… Excuse me?

16
00:00:49,382 --> 00:00:52,594
[scoffs] Guys, no. He's the one
who put the whole deal together.

17
00:00:52,677 --> 00:00:54,054
Why would he sabotage it?

18
00:00:54,137 --> 00:00:57,599
Well, that's what we couldn't figure out
until we read the file.

19
00:00:57,682 --> 00:00:58,725
Here's our theory.

20
00:00:59,309 --> 00:01:02,687
After you and Vinick shook hands
on the deal for his donation,

21
00:01:02,771 --> 00:01:05,231
he must have told you
what he was really planning.

22
00:01:05,315 --> 00:01:09,069
This whole school would become
a laboratory of efficiency,

23
00:01:09,152 --> 00:01:11,321
churning out business leaders, innovators…

24
00:01:11,404 --> 00:01:15,742
Right, but it'll still teach…
music and theater, literature…?

25
00:01:15,825 --> 00:01:18,286
No, all that crap is history.
And so is history.

26
00:01:18,369 --> 00:01:20,163
-[chuckles]
-We have any more champagne?

27
00:01:20,246 --> 00:01:23,291
[Charles] You were worried
because you were trying to parlay

28
00:01:23,374 --> 00:01:27,462
this splashy donation into a job
at Rycliffe University in Texas.

29
00:01:28,046 --> 00:01:30,131
You'd already had several meetings there,

30
00:01:30,215 --> 00:01:34,344
likely bragging about how well you'd done
at raising money here at Wheeler.

31
00:01:35,136 --> 00:01:37,806
Problem was, if word about Aurora got out,

32
00:01:37,889 --> 00:01:40,100
the faculty and staff would revolt.

33
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,519
No university wants to hire a guy

34
00:01:42,602 --> 00:01:45,897
who was chased out of his last gig
by an angry mob.

35
00:01:45,980 --> 00:01:48,316
You needed time to land the job

36
00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:51,402
and make your escape
before it all blew up in your face.

37
00:01:51,486 --> 00:01:54,280
So, you created a fake account,

38
00:01:54,364 --> 00:01:56,699
sent yourself a threatening email,

39
00:01:56,783 --> 00:01:58,576
and stole your own laptop.

40
00:01:58,660 --> 00:02:02,122
It was a false flag operation
to make you look like the victim.

41
00:02:02,205 --> 00:02:06,334
You hired us to "investigate,"
hoping it would slow Vinick down.

42
00:02:06,417 --> 00:02:07,794
But it didn't work.

43
00:02:07,877 --> 00:02:10,713
At the portrait unveiling,
Vinick must have told you

44
00:02:10,797 --> 00:02:14,926
that he was going full speed ahead
with the announcement of his donation.

45
00:02:15,009 --> 00:02:19,097
You panicked, again,
threw the portrait in a garbage can,

46
00:02:19,180 --> 00:02:21,599
and used the cigar
Vinick handed out that night…

47
00:02:21,683 --> 00:02:26,813
to delay the burning until you were
on stage, giving the introductory speech.

48
00:02:26,896 --> 00:02:28,064
Perfect alibi.

49
00:02:28,148 --> 00:02:28,982
This is insane.

50
00:02:29,065 --> 00:02:30,859
None of this is true.

51
00:02:30,942 --> 00:02:34,112
Except for the part about Rycliffe,
which is true. How'd you know about that?

52
00:02:34,195 --> 00:02:36,739
Well, you've been spending
a lot of time in Dallas.

53
00:02:36,823 --> 00:02:40,285
And you were in such a good mood
at Vinick's 50th reunion party.

54
00:02:40,368 --> 00:02:42,370
Figured the deal must have gone through.

55
00:02:42,453 --> 00:02:46,332
Okay, yes. I did take
a higher-paying job at Rycliffe.

56
00:02:46,416 --> 00:02:52,255
And, yes, I knew that Vinick had
some "unorthodox" plans to reform Wheeler.

57
00:02:52,338 --> 00:02:56,050
But I swear I had nothing to do
with the blackmail or the painting.

58
00:02:56,134 --> 00:02:59,679
And also, why would I leak
my own sensitive information

59
00:02:59,762 --> 00:03:00,930
to the campus paper?

60
00:03:01,014 --> 00:03:02,015
To throw us off.

61
00:03:02,098 --> 00:03:05,852
What matters is you are the only person
that knew about Vinick's plan.

62
00:03:05,935 --> 00:03:08,271
No. Uh… he's not.

63
00:03:09,355 --> 00:03:12,609
Jack might be a craven,
self-serving buffoon.

64
00:03:12,692 --> 00:03:15,403
But he could never
have pulled this off himself.

65
00:03:15,486 --> 00:03:17,155
He's not nearly smart enough.

66
00:03:17,739 --> 00:03:18,573
Thank you.

67
00:03:18,656 --> 00:03:21,367
I know for a fact
that he didn't do it, because…

68
00:03:22,744 --> 00:03:23,745
I did.

69
00:03:24,287 --> 00:03:26,289
[theme music playing]

70
00:03:30,710 --> 00:03:33,713
-Well, I… I'm confused.
-[Ben] Oh, of course you are.

71
00:03:33,796 --> 00:03:36,049
Oh, by the way, I'm very impressed.

72
00:03:36,132 --> 00:03:37,592
Through this whole thing,

73
00:03:37,675 --> 00:03:40,303
I thought you were merely
a mediocre academic,

74
00:03:40,386 --> 00:03:43,431
when in reality,
you're also a mediocre detective.

75
00:03:44,098 --> 00:03:47,518
You… How did you know
about Project Aurora?

76
00:03:48,019 --> 00:03:50,313
Well, I knew the deal was getting close.

77
00:03:50,396 --> 00:03:52,982
So I came by to speak with Berenger

78
00:03:53,066 --> 00:03:56,778
about securing some money
for, uh, my department.

79
00:03:56,861 --> 00:04:00,531
I waited in the hallway right here
that connects to Holly's office.

80
00:04:01,157 --> 00:04:03,701
You're not gonna recognize anything
when I get through with this.

81
00:04:03,785 --> 00:04:05,328
[Ben] That's when I heard Vinick

82
00:04:05,411 --> 00:04:07,914
explaining what he had in store
for Wheeler College.

83
00:04:08,414 --> 00:04:12,335
After they left, I searched
for some hard evidence of the plot.

84
00:04:12,418 --> 00:04:15,630
Failing to find any, I stole the laptop,

85
00:04:15,713 --> 00:04:19,425
I created the Wheeler Guardian account,
and sent the threatening email.

86
00:04:20,093 --> 00:04:23,096
I had hoped it would be enough to force

87
00:04:23,179 --> 00:04:26,349
Holly and Jack to cut ties
with Vinick for good,

88
00:04:26,432 --> 00:04:27,850
but it was not.

89
00:04:28,351 --> 00:04:32,272
So… I left a more menacing note,
stole the portrait,

90
00:04:32,355 --> 00:04:34,524
and then set it ablaze,

91
00:04:34,607 --> 00:04:36,401
using Vinick's cigar,

92
00:04:36,985 --> 00:04:39,279
which gave me some time to escape.

93
00:04:40,071 --> 00:04:41,781
At least I got one thing right.

94
00:04:41,864 --> 00:04:43,157
Yes, you did. Well done.

95
00:04:43,241 --> 00:04:45,451
You're half as accurate as a broken clock.

96
00:04:46,202 --> 00:04:48,413
I can't believe you would do this.

97
00:04:48,496 --> 00:04:50,206
But, Holly, I did.

98
00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:51,874
And I can prove it.

99
00:04:53,876 --> 00:04:55,503
President Berenger's computer.

100
00:04:56,587 --> 00:05:00,758
And the fountain pen
that I used to leave the note.

101
00:05:01,676 --> 00:05:03,386
If you'll examine it carefully,

102
00:05:03,469 --> 00:05:06,514
you'll find that it has
a distinctive chipped nib.

103
00:05:07,432 --> 00:05:10,977
Holly, they were bound
to find out the truth eventually,

104
00:05:11,060 --> 00:05:15,148
and my career was going
to end one way or the other.

105
00:05:16,232 --> 00:05:19,902
And now that I have confessed my crimes,

106
00:05:19,986 --> 00:05:22,947
I resign from Wheeler College.

107
00:05:24,157 --> 00:05:25,700
Effective immediately.

108
00:05:25,783 --> 00:05:28,411
[melancholy music playing]

109
00:05:35,001 --> 00:05:37,045
How the hell did they get
a copy of Aurora?

110
00:05:37,128 --> 00:05:38,254
It hardly matters.

111
00:05:38,338 --> 00:05:41,007
You clearly misled us and the board,

112
00:05:41,090 --> 00:05:43,468
so they voted to reject your donation.

113
00:05:43,551 --> 00:05:46,262
You don't get to reject me. I reject you.

114
00:05:46,346 --> 00:05:49,599
-Okay, that's fine.
-I was trying to save this place.

115
00:05:49,682 --> 00:05:53,102
Project Aurora would have churned out
millionaires and billionaires,

116
00:05:53,186 --> 00:05:56,439
kids who make real money
in tech and business.

117
00:05:56,522 --> 00:05:59,025
Maybe, but there are
a lot of schools for that.

118
00:05:59,108 --> 00:06:02,111
Wheeler has a different mission
for a different kind of kid.

119
00:06:02,195 --> 00:06:05,698
We value community
and knowledge for knowledge's sake.

120
00:06:05,782 --> 00:06:08,117
[mockingly] "Community, knowledge!"

121
00:06:08,201 --> 00:06:09,911
"We're smart and broke!"

122
00:06:09,994 --> 00:06:11,204
God, you're pathetic.

123
00:06:11,954 --> 00:06:13,998
Well, this week sucks!

124
00:06:14,499 --> 00:06:17,001
First, my wife asked me
for a divorce, and now this.

125
00:06:17,085 --> 00:06:19,754
-[sarcastically] I'm sorry to hear that.
-Thank you.

126
00:06:19,837 --> 00:06:22,965
She's taking me to the cleaners.
She's asking for 200k a month.

127
00:06:23,049 --> 00:06:25,176
And she's gonna get it
because she's prego,

128
00:06:25,259 --> 00:06:26,886
and this country hates men.

129
00:06:26,969 --> 00:06:29,472
The whole thing's a nightmare.
I mean, she's hot.

130
00:06:29,555 --> 00:06:31,182
But she's not 40-million hot.

131
00:06:31,265 --> 00:06:34,185
Out of curiosity, who is 40-million hot?

132
00:06:34,268 --> 00:06:35,645
Kaia Gerber, Sydney Sweeney,

133
00:06:35,728 --> 00:06:38,022
1988 Elle Macpherson,

134
00:06:38,106 --> 00:06:40,108
and Vanna White
when she's facing the board.

135
00:06:40,191 --> 00:06:43,736
Why am I the only good person
in the world?

136
00:06:47,740 --> 00:06:48,741
[door slams shut]

137
00:06:48,825 --> 00:06:52,453
Well. Wheeler College
owes you both a debt of gratitude,

138
00:06:52,537 --> 00:06:55,706
which we literally have no way to repay.

139
00:06:55,790 --> 00:06:58,126
Is the school gonna survive
without his money?

140
00:06:58,209 --> 00:06:59,335
[Holly] I don't know.

141
00:06:59,419 --> 00:07:02,797
But if we go under,
better to end on our own terms.

142
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,217
Does either of you have,
like, a rich, sickly aunt?

143
00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:07,301
[Charles chuckles]

144
00:07:07,385 --> 00:07:08,636
Worth a shot.

145
00:07:09,554 --> 00:07:12,890
Well, you got the juicy case you wanted,
and you solved it.

146
00:07:14,684 --> 00:07:15,977
What's wrong?

147
00:07:16,060 --> 00:07:18,062
The perp just confessed.

148
00:07:18,146 --> 00:07:20,022
I didn't really solve the case.

149
00:07:20,106 --> 00:07:22,442
Oh, God. No, that's crap.

150
00:07:23,693 --> 00:07:25,153
A win is a win.

151
00:07:25,736 --> 00:07:26,737
Take the win.

152
00:07:27,822 --> 00:07:29,240
Okay, fine.

153
00:07:29,323 --> 00:07:30,283
You're right.

154
00:07:30,366 --> 00:07:32,034
-I'm amazing.
-[both chuckling]

155
00:07:32,618 --> 00:07:34,912
Oh, can you do the debrief tomorrow?

156
00:07:34,996 --> 00:07:36,581
I have to go see my mom.

157
00:07:37,123 --> 00:07:39,709
Her and Apollo just broke up,
and she's moving out.

158
00:07:40,334 --> 00:07:41,711
Because she helped us?

159
00:07:41,794 --> 00:07:44,547
No. No, no, no.
It's been in the works for a while.

160
00:07:45,047 --> 00:07:48,426
Apparently, a couple weeks ago,
he said he wanted to have a baby with her,

161
00:07:48,509 --> 00:07:50,887
and she was like, "I'm 67."

162
00:07:50,970 --> 00:07:53,473
And he was like, "Age is just a number."

163
00:07:53,556 --> 00:07:55,683
And she was like, "Not in this context."

164
00:07:55,766 --> 00:07:58,478
-Yeah, probably for the best.
-Yeah.

165
00:08:01,063 --> 00:08:03,065
[light music playing]

166
00:08:07,236 --> 00:08:08,779
Already miss this place?

167
00:08:09,780 --> 00:08:10,740
I do.

168
00:08:10,823 --> 00:08:12,742
Well, I, for one, am glad you're going.

169
00:08:12,825 --> 00:08:17,997
I have a job to do here, and seeing you
in that suit is way too distracting.

170
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,373
[Charles chuckles]

171
00:08:20,124 --> 00:08:21,459
You heard about Ben?

172
00:08:21,542 --> 00:08:24,295
Honestly, I wasn't surprised.

173
00:08:25,254 --> 00:08:27,507
But he'll be remembered as a hero.

174
00:08:28,007 --> 00:08:29,467
Want to get dinner?

175
00:08:29,550 --> 00:08:30,635
Tomorrow okay?

176
00:08:30,718 --> 00:08:32,845
Calbert's having surgery.

177
00:08:32,929 --> 00:08:35,306
It's important I be there to support him.

178
00:08:35,389 --> 00:08:36,641
[snoring]

179
00:08:36,724 --> 00:08:39,143
[Calbert] Hey. Wake up.

180
00:08:41,062 --> 00:08:42,730
-What time is it?
-10:00 a.m.

181
00:08:42,813 --> 00:08:46,108
You slept longer than I did,
and I had general anesthesia.

182
00:08:46,734 --> 00:08:49,237
You missed C.J. He says to say hello.

183
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,907
Once I'm all healed up, we're gonna go see
some baseball in the spring.

184
00:08:52,990 --> 00:08:55,368
I'm so glad I did this.

185
00:08:55,451 --> 00:08:59,872
Well, I won't say I told you so
because I'm not a petty person.

186
00:08:59,956 --> 00:09:01,290
[Calbert chuckles]

187
00:09:01,374 --> 00:09:04,085
I thought you might bring Mona.
How's that going?

188
00:09:04,168 --> 00:09:08,005
Good! Although we're entering
uncharted waters.

189
00:09:08,089 --> 00:09:10,424
She and I won't be seeing each other
every day.

190
00:09:10,508 --> 00:09:14,428
So I think I'm gonna cook her
my famous chicken piccata

191
00:09:15,012 --> 00:09:17,473
and ask her to go away for the weekend.

192
00:09:17,557 --> 00:09:19,517
I think that's a good idea. Go do that.

193
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,852
Oh, I'm… I don't want
to leave you here alone.

194
00:09:21,936 --> 00:09:23,312
I'm fine. Scram.

195
00:09:23,396 --> 00:09:25,982
Why are you so eager to get rid of me?

196
00:09:26,065 --> 00:09:27,900
-Am I interrupting?
-[Charles laughs]

197
00:09:27,984 --> 00:09:29,277
Not at all.

198
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,238
Joy, this is my friend Charles.

199
00:09:32,321 --> 00:09:33,739
He was just leaving.

200
00:09:35,116 --> 00:09:37,034
Pleasure to meet you, Joy.

201
00:09:37,118 --> 00:09:40,371
Not sure what you see in Calbert,
but otherwise, you seem lovely.

202
00:09:40,454 --> 00:09:42,748
[Joy laughing] Likewise.

203
00:09:42,832 --> 00:09:44,750
I asked Calbert out to dinner.

204
00:09:44,834 --> 00:09:48,296
He took a spill to try to get out of it,
but I don't give up easy.

205
00:09:48,963 --> 00:09:50,423
So this is our first date.

206
00:09:50,506 --> 00:09:53,467
Not quite as romantic
as I was hoping it would be.

207
00:09:53,551 --> 00:09:55,636
Oh, I disagree.

208
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,597
I already got you in bed.

209
00:09:57,680 --> 00:09:59,473
You're half naked. [laughs]

210
00:09:59,557 --> 00:10:00,850
This is fourth-date stuff.

211
00:10:00,933 --> 00:10:02,351
[Charles chuckles]

212
00:10:02,435 --> 00:10:03,811
I'll take good care of him.

213
00:10:03,894 --> 00:10:05,146
I'm sure you will.

214
00:10:06,439 --> 00:10:08,941
[Mona] Best chicken I ever had in my life.

215
00:10:09,025 --> 00:10:14,822
In 1970, Lavender Highway
did an East Coast tour with Santana,

216
00:10:14,905 --> 00:10:16,824
and that dude could cook.

217
00:10:16,907 --> 00:10:18,326
[Charles laughs]

218
00:10:18,868 --> 00:10:19,869
Hey…

219
00:10:20,911 --> 00:10:22,455
I want to ask you something.

220
00:10:23,164 --> 00:10:26,459
What if you and I… had a little adventure?

221
00:10:27,084 --> 00:10:28,669
Went away for the weekend?

222
00:10:28,753 --> 00:10:33,549
I'm thinking Carmel, may… or, you know,
if we're feeling saucy, Monterey.

223
00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:35,676
I have a better idea.

224
00:10:36,177 --> 00:10:39,597
We're moving to Croatia for a year.

225
00:10:41,140 --> 00:10:42,391
Wait, who's "we"?

226
00:10:43,517 --> 00:10:44,644
"We" is us?

227
00:10:44,727 --> 00:10:49,023
Yes! I am going
to Zagreb to teach a course

228
00:10:49,106 --> 00:10:52,485
on Slavic influences
in California folk music.

229
00:10:52,568 --> 00:10:54,945
Another professor dropped out
at the last minute,

230
00:10:55,029 --> 00:10:58,532
so they offered it to me, and I said yes.

231
00:10:58,616 --> 00:11:00,034
I leave in a week.

232
00:11:00,117 --> 00:11:02,370
And you want me to go with you?

233
00:11:02,453 --> 00:11:06,999
Just… drop everything and move to Croatia?

234
00:11:07,625 --> 00:11:11,879
But I've got Emily and the grandkids
and my job with Julie.

235
00:11:11,962 --> 00:11:16,133
I'm sure both of us could think of
a million reasons not to go.

236
00:11:16,717 --> 00:11:18,386
But life is short.

237
00:11:18,469 --> 00:11:20,971
We've both been to Monterey.

238
00:11:21,472 --> 00:11:23,974
Have you ever been to Croatia?

239
00:11:24,058 --> 00:11:25,267
No.

240
00:11:25,351 --> 00:11:27,937
Well, neither have I. [laughs]

241
00:11:28,020 --> 00:11:32,191
Sweetheart, we have more summers
behind us than ahead of us,

242
00:11:32,274 --> 00:11:37,446
and I want to spend
as many of those summers as I can

243
00:11:37,530 --> 00:11:39,240
having new adventures.

244
00:11:41,325 --> 00:11:42,576
Screw it.

245
00:11:43,494 --> 00:11:45,871
Let's go to Croatia. [laughs]

246
00:11:49,291 --> 00:11:50,584
[Vanessa] Ugh. I give up.

247
00:11:50,668 --> 00:11:53,170
I'm so bad at this stuff.

248
00:11:53,254 --> 00:11:55,131
Apollo used to handle all of it.

249
00:11:55,214 --> 00:11:57,174
We got this. We don't need him.

250
00:11:58,342 --> 00:12:00,886
I mean, I never needed him,

251
00:12:00,970 --> 00:12:04,515
but he was very sweet
and a great listener.

252
00:12:05,307 --> 00:12:07,727
He tried to enter himself into a dog show.

253
00:12:07,810 --> 00:12:10,980
No, we went to a dog show.

254
00:12:11,063 --> 00:12:13,065
He wanted to see
if he could run the course

255
00:12:13,149 --> 00:12:14,692
faster than the Boston Terrier.

256
00:12:14,775 --> 00:12:17,194
And he couldn't, and he was arrested.

257
00:12:17,778 --> 00:12:19,739
-Fine, he was a loon.
-Yeah.

258
00:12:19,822 --> 00:12:22,992
It's just, the older I get,
the more I appreciate companionship.

259
00:12:23,534 --> 00:12:25,870
Well, I'm only 20 minutes away.

260
00:12:26,454 --> 00:12:27,621
You have me now.

261
00:12:28,789 --> 00:12:30,833
-I do.
-[uplifting music playing]

262
00:12:30,916 --> 00:12:33,419
-Okay, get to it.
-Oh no, these don't make sense.

263
00:12:33,502 --> 00:12:35,004
Come on!

264
00:12:40,968 --> 00:12:43,387
Great, okay, yeah.
I'll speak with you soon.

265
00:12:43,471 --> 00:12:44,764
Okay. Goodbye.

266
00:12:45,389 --> 00:12:48,184
So… I just got off the phone with Holly,

267
00:12:48,267 --> 00:12:50,811
and if I want it, the job is mine.

268
00:12:51,395 --> 00:12:52,480
That's great.

269
00:12:52,563 --> 00:12:55,775
I mean, I can't even believe
how perfect it is.

270
00:12:55,858 --> 00:12:57,568
They don't want anybody full-time.

271
00:12:57,651 --> 00:12:59,653
I was like,
"I don't want to work full-time."

272
00:12:59,737 --> 00:13:04,033
And I get to take classes for free,
so it's like a win-win-win.

273
00:13:04,116 --> 00:13:07,286
In a few weeks,
I'll be raising money for Wheeler College,

274
00:13:07,369 --> 00:13:08,704
and then in a few years,

275
00:13:08,788 --> 00:13:12,416
I'll be able to get
my master's in social work,

276
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:14,210
and become a therapist.

277
00:13:14,293 --> 00:13:15,669
Big changes.

278
00:13:16,170 --> 00:13:17,296
For both of us.

279
00:13:17,379 --> 00:13:21,759
Yeah, I mean,
this is a bold move you're making.

280
00:13:22,468 --> 00:13:23,677
It is.

281
00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:25,805
Really is, yep.

282
00:13:26,597 --> 00:13:28,349
[pensive music playing]

283
00:13:30,601 --> 00:13:31,977
-Dad.
-Yeah?

284
00:13:34,522 --> 00:13:36,732
Do you really want to move so far away?

285
00:13:38,067 --> 00:13:39,860
I want to be with Mona.

286
00:13:41,403 --> 00:13:43,322
You didn't really answer the question.

287
00:13:44,865 --> 00:13:47,243
I know how incredible she is.

288
00:13:47,326 --> 00:13:50,329
She makes you believe
that anything is possible.

289
00:13:50,412 --> 00:13:52,706
She's a real force of nature.

290
00:13:53,499 --> 00:13:55,543
-Never met anyone like her.
-Mm.

291
00:13:56,752 --> 00:13:58,337
And I don't want to lose her.

292
00:14:01,423 --> 00:14:03,634
But I also don't want to go to Zagreb.

293
00:14:04,969 --> 00:14:06,053
I know.

294
00:14:07,847 --> 00:14:09,306
We went to Santa Fe once.

295
00:14:09,390 --> 00:14:12,142
You kept saying you couldn't get used
to the time difference.

296
00:14:12,226 --> 00:14:13,269
[Emily laughs]

297
00:14:15,229 --> 00:14:19,358
You know, a relationship can't work
if decisions are made out of desperation.

298
00:14:21,318 --> 00:14:22,903
You need to talk to her.

299
00:14:24,697 --> 00:14:26,073
Yeah, I know.

300
00:14:29,243 --> 00:14:30,244
Thank you.

301
00:14:32,496 --> 00:14:34,498
[indistinct chatter and laughing]

302
00:14:36,876 --> 00:14:37,918
So that…

303
00:14:39,003 --> 00:14:40,504
that's where I stand.

304
00:14:41,964 --> 00:14:45,718
Is there anything
I can say to change your mind?

305
00:14:46,719 --> 00:14:48,345
I don't think there is.

306
00:14:49,221 --> 00:14:51,348
I understand why you want to do this.

307
00:14:51,432 --> 00:14:53,475
I love that you're the kind of person

308
00:14:53,559 --> 00:14:55,853
who does this kind of thing

309
00:14:55,936 --> 00:14:58,188
at the drop of a hat.

310
00:14:58,272 --> 00:15:02,151
It's just that I spent
the last couple of years building this

311
00:15:03,235 --> 00:15:04,904
whole new life for myself.

312
00:15:04,987 --> 00:15:07,156
And I like that life.

313
00:15:07,865 --> 00:15:09,325
I don't want to leave it.

314
00:15:10,826 --> 00:15:14,705
[exhales] So… there it is.

315
00:15:15,915 --> 00:15:17,291
Wow.

316
00:15:17,374 --> 00:15:19,501
I haven't been dumped since…

317
00:15:20,085 --> 00:15:21,045
the '70s.

318
00:15:21,754 --> 00:15:23,839
I forgot what this feels like.

319
00:15:23,923 --> 00:15:25,257
I don't like it.

320
00:15:29,637 --> 00:15:33,682
[exhales] Okay, no more wasting time
on sad breakups.

321
00:15:33,766 --> 00:15:38,395
Let's raise a glass
of Irish coffee and toast to our

322

former relationship slash

323
00:15:42,733 --> 00:15:44,401
current friendship.

324
00:15:45,778 --> 00:15:51,408
"Come what might,
she would be wild, untrammeled, free."

[Mona chuckles]

326
00:15:52,576 --> 00:15:55,454
James Joyce, Ireland's greatest writer.

Eh, it gets a little sore
at the end of the day,

but all in all, it's a miracle.

00:17:09,069 --> 00:17:10,904
I'm happy for you, buddy.

347
00:17:10,988 --> 00:17:13,198
I know I said it before, but

348
00:17:14,074 --> 00:17:16,744
thank you for pestering me
about the surgery.

349
00:17:17,578 --> 00:17:20,748
For your next trick,
I need you to find a lady for yourself.

350
00:17:20,831 --> 00:17:24,501
Someone smart and fun,
so the four of us can double-date.

351
00:17:24,585 --> 00:17:25,961
Maybe someday.

352
00:17:26,462 --> 00:17:29,590
I'm still working through
everything with Mona.

353
00:17:30,090 --> 00:17:31,300
You miss her.

354
00:17:32,426 --> 00:17:33,343
I do.

355
00:17:33,844 --> 00:17:36,805
But I also know
that we weren't meant to be.

356
00:17:36,889 --> 00:17:40,726
I mean, just two totally different
philosophies of life.

357
00:17:41,310 --> 00:17:44,354
I look both ways
before I cross the street.

358
00:17:44,438 --> 00:17:47,649
-She does cartwheels into traffic.
-[Calbert laughs]

359
00:17:47,733 --> 00:17:51,820
Well, someday soon,
you'll find you're ready to try again.

360
00:17:52,321 --> 00:17:55,741
Until then, third wheel it is.

361
00:17:55,824 --> 00:17:57,826
[both laughing]

362
00:17:59,203 --> 00:18:01,288
Maybe you could open a can of tuna,

363
00:18:01,371 --> 00:18:05,375
set it inside her AC vent,
then park it back on the block.

364
00:18:06,668 --> 00:18:08,045
I can do that.

365
00:18:08,128 --> 00:18:09,379
[woman] Yeah.

366
00:18:09,463 --> 00:18:11,548
You're going soft, Mars.

367
00:18:12,716 --> 00:18:15,010
Ooh, that was a good one.

368
00:18:15,094 --> 00:18:17,805
Yeah, it was. This show's great.

369
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,808
Are you still criticizing
her detective work?

370
00:18:20,891 --> 00:18:23,936
-Her camera is too big. It's conspicuous.
-[Vanessa laughs]

371
00:18:24,019 --> 00:18:26,855
Well, the girl
who plays Veronica is very winning.

372
00:18:26,939 --> 00:18:28,065
She ever do anything else?

373
00:18:28,148 --> 00:18:29,274
I don't know.

374
00:18:29,358 --> 00:18:31,777
It's the first TV show
I've watched in 25 years.

375
00:18:31,860 --> 00:18:35,739
Oh, when we're done with this,
Megan said that we need to watch…

376
00:18:37,199 --> 00:18:38,117
Pals…

377
00:18:39,368 --> 00:18:41,120
-Friends?
-Friends.

378
00:18:41,203 --> 00:18:42,246
[laughing] Okay.

379
00:18:43,413 --> 00:18:44,623
Okay, I have to go.

380
00:18:45,541 --> 00:18:48,043
I'm doing that thing with Charles.

381
00:18:48,127 --> 00:18:49,711
-I'll see you next week?
-Yeah.

382
00:18:49,795 --> 00:18:50,796
Okay.

383
00:18:52,256 --> 00:18:55,217
The client said her husband's there
at 7:00 p.m. sharp.

384
00:18:55,300 --> 00:18:56,468
Relax, we have time.

385
00:18:56,552 --> 00:18:58,178
I just gotta grab the file.

386
00:18:59,972 --> 00:19:01,140
[all] Surprise!

387
00:19:01,223 --> 00:19:03,433
What in the world…?

388
00:19:03,517 --> 00:19:08,188
Charles Nieuwendyk, by the power vested
in me by the State of California,

389
00:19:08,272 --> 00:19:09,439
you are officially

390
00:19:10,399 --> 00:19:12,109
a private investigator.

391
00:19:12,192 --> 00:19:16,113
As of yesterday, you have enough hours
to get your license. Congratulations.

392
00:19:16,196 --> 00:19:18,490
[cheering and whooping]

393
00:19:19,408 --> 00:19:20,576
[Charles] Thank you.

394
00:19:20,659 --> 00:19:25,706
Before I started working here,
I… spent a lot of time alone.

395
00:19:27,207 --> 00:19:31,044
My life got a whole lot richer
when I got out into the world

396
00:19:31,128 --> 00:19:35,340
and started connecting
with people I care about.

397
00:19:35,424 --> 00:19:36,842
[gentle music playing]

398
00:19:36,925 --> 00:19:39,595
So… thank you.

399
00:19:40,345 --> 00:19:41,471
[cheers]

400
00:19:41,555 --> 00:19:43,557
[all cheering]

401
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,809
[upbeat music playing]

402
00:19:48,187 --> 00:19:49,813
All right, which one's better?

403
00:19:51,815 --> 00:19:54,193
"I'm Charles Nieuwendyk, PI."

404
00:19:54,902 --> 00:19:55,944
Or…

405
00:19:56,778 --> 00:19:59,656
"I'm Charles Nieuwendyk… PI."

406
00:19:59,740 --> 00:20:01,491
Number one. You do it all at once.

407
00:20:01,575 --> 00:20:03,076
-Yeah?
-[Calbert] He's crazy.

408
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,287
The flip is the exclamation point.

409
00:20:05,370 --> 00:20:10,417
It's like, "You thought I was just
Charles Nieuwendyk," and then, bam!

410
00:20:10,500 --> 00:20:13,003
Yeah, he's right.
Forget what I said. Second one.

411
00:20:13,086 --> 00:20:15,881
Okay, so from now on, it's gonna be,

412
00:20:15,964 --> 00:20:18,800
"I'm Charles Nieuwendyk, PI."

413
00:20:21,678 --> 00:20:22,679
[Joel] Cool.

414
00:20:24,973 --> 00:20:26,099
Thanks for coming.

415
00:20:26,183 --> 00:20:27,351
Of course.

416
00:20:28,018 --> 00:20:29,895
One question, why did you invite me?

417
00:20:30,479 --> 00:20:32,856
Because it means a lot
to Charles that you're here.

418
00:20:32,940 --> 00:20:34,233
Oh.

419
00:20:34,942 --> 00:20:35,943
And…

420
00:20:37,694 --> 00:20:41,073
Because I wanted to apologize.

421
00:20:41,156 --> 00:20:42,991
As you remember from Thanksgiving,

422
00:20:43,075 --> 00:20:46,328
I had a lot of emotional issues
that I hadn't dealt with.

423
00:20:46,411 --> 00:20:49,331
I truly thought
I had it under control, but,

424
00:20:49,915 --> 00:20:52,209
shockingly, I did not,

425
00:20:52,292 --> 00:20:57,506
and… it made me do some things
that were pretty hurtful and callous.

426
00:20:57,589 --> 00:20:59,424
-And weird.
-And weird.

427
00:21:00,133 --> 00:21:03,553
Yeah. But I'm getting better.

428
00:21:04,054 --> 00:21:07,724
A work in progress,
but I'm getting better, and…

429
00:21:08,976 --> 00:21:10,143
I'm really sorry.

430
00:21:10,227 --> 00:21:12,062
I accept your apology.

431
00:21:12,145 --> 00:21:14,815
And I'm really happy for you and your mom.

432
00:21:15,899 --> 00:21:18,193
Ironically, you were kind of right.

433
00:21:19,194 --> 00:21:22,906
When I asked you to do background checks,
I was actually playing a long game.

434
00:21:23,782 --> 00:21:26,952
I hired you as an excuse
to spend some time with you.

435
00:21:28,745 --> 00:21:30,539
-Really?
-[Didi] I don't know.

436
00:21:30,622 --> 00:21:33,709
When you came to the café
after the Pacific View case ended

437
00:21:33,792 --> 00:21:36,295
and you said those nice things about me,
I thought…

438
00:21:37,170 --> 00:21:39,006
maybe there was a vibe there.

439
00:21:39,506 --> 00:21:40,507
[Julie] Wow.

440
00:21:41,591 --> 00:21:45,971
So I just misread that situation
even more terribly than I thought.

441
00:21:48,140 --> 00:21:50,225
Well, thanks for coming.

442
00:21:50,976 --> 00:21:52,227
Really, dude?

443
00:21:52,311 --> 00:21:53,270
I'm kidding.

444
00:21:54,187 --> 00:21:56,189
Do you want to get a drink sometime?

445
00:21:56,273 --> 00:21:57,941
-Yes.
-Good.

446
00:22:02,487 --> 00:22:03,697
Told ya.

447
00:22:03,780 --> 00:22:04,740
Okay.

448
00:22:05,324 --> 00:22:07,326
[gentle music playing]

449
00:22:19,212 --> 00:22:22,632
-[Charles] I miss this place.
-Gets under your skin, doesn't it?

450
00:22:22,716 --> 00:22:24,217
Yeah, it really does.

451
00:22:25,469 --> 00:22:26,553
How are the classes?

452
00:22:26,636 --> 00:22:28,221
Ugh, kicking my butt.

453
00:22:28,305 --> 00:22:29,514
Joel is such a godsend.

454
00:22:29,598 --> 00:22:33,435
I get home late three nights a week,
so we made the boys a chore schedule.

455
00:22:33,518 --> 00:22:38,690
Watching Jace try to load the dishwasher
is the highest form of entertainment.

456
00:22:39,608 --> 00:22:41,693
But you're glad you took the job?

457
00:22:41,777 --> 00:22:43,570
Oh God. Totally.

458
00:22:43,653 --> 00:22:45,280
Everyone's so passionate.

459
00:22:45,364 --> 00:22:48,033
My first week here,
like 20 people stopped by my office

460
00:22:48,116 --> 00:22:49,993
just to ask if they could help me out.

461
00:22:50,077 --> 00:22:53,538
It's like everybody has the same goal,
to make this school awesome.

462
00:22:53,622 --> 00:22:55,540
It's genuinely moving.

463
00:22:58,001 --> 00:22:58,960
You all right?

464
00:23:00,420 --> 00:23:02,005
Yeah. You know, I just

465
00:23:03,131 --> 00:23:04,257
figured something out.

466
00:23:04,341 --> 00:23:05,967
Can I buy you a cup of coffee?

467
00:23:06,051 --> 00:23:07,052
Yeah.

468
00:23:11,306 --> 00:23:12,474
Charles, hi.

469
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:14,935
Wait, do you still work here?

470
00:23:15,018 --> 00:23:16,645
I honestly forget.

471
00:23:16,728 --> 00:23:18,355
Haven't been sleeping a lot.

472
00:23:18,438 --> 00:23:20,774
Just visiting Emily. Thought I'd say hi.

473
00:23:21,441 --> 00:23:24,027
How's Jack doing down in Dallas?

474
00:23:24,111 --> 00:23:26,863
He's… really taken to the city.

475
00:23:26,947 --> 00:23:28,949
Don't mess with Texas!

476
00:23:29,032 --> 00:23:31,410
[cheering]

477
00:23:31,493 --> 00:23:34,496
Can I ask you a question
that's been bugging me about the case?

478
00:23:34,579 --> 00:23:36,039
Oh. Sure.

479
00:23:36,915 --> 00:23:40,585
I shouldn't have been surprised
when Dr. Cole confessed.

480
00:23:41,336 --> 00:23:45,507
I mean, he loved this place so much,
he would have done anything to save it.

481
00:23:45,590 --> 00:23:50,262
But there were other people
who loved Wheeler College that way.

482
00:23:50,345 --> 00:23:53,682
I'm sorry, what are you implying?

483
00:23:53,765 --> 00:23:57,894
Ben Cole took the fall for you,
Holly, didn't he?

484
00:23:57,978 --> 00:23:58,979
What?

485
00:23:59,771 --> 00:24:02,107
No, Charles, he did not.

486
00:24:02,190 --> 00:24:04,734
I have no reason to blackmail Berenger.

487
00:24:04,818 --> 00:24:07,487
I didn't even know
about this Project Aurora

488
00:24:07,571 --> 00:24:10,949
until you and Julie
told me about it, after the heist.

489
00:24:11,032 --> 00:24:12,909
You see, I don't think that's true.

490
00:24:13,702 --> 00:24:15,412
I think that you found out

491
00:24:15,495 --> 00:24:18,498
what Vinick was gonna do
to Wheeler College that first night.

492
00:24:19,082 --> 00:24:23,003
I think you realized that no one person
was gonna be able to stop him.

493
00:24:23,086 --> 00:24:26,381
In fact, I think there was
a whole group of people

494
00:24:26,465 --> 00:24:29,050
who conspired to save Wheeler College.

495
00:24:29,885 --> 00:24:32,179
But… you were the ringleader.

496
00:24:32,262 --> 00:24:34,514
And how do you know that?

497
00:24:34,598 --> 00:24:38,101
I asked Julie to send me a scan
of the NDA that you signed

498
00:24:38,185 --> 00:24:42,147
with Kovalenko Investigations
that day you walked into our office.

499
00:24:42,772 --> 00:24:48,278
The pen you used had
a very distinctive chipped nib.

500
00:24:54,367 --> 00:24:58,788
Wheeler lost $400 million
and one of its best professors.

501
00:24:59,372 --> 00:25:00,999
There's no need to lose you too.

502
00:25:01,082 --> 00:25:04,711
I'm not gonna say anything.
I just want to know how you pulled it off.

503
00:25:06,630 --> 00:25:07,964
Um… [clears throat]

504
00:25:08,048 --> 00:25:11,927
Well, after years of courting Vinick,

505
00:25:12,010 --> 00:25:14,221
flattering him, sucking up,

506
00:25:14,304 --> 00:25:17,390
he and Berenger agreed to terms
and shook hands.

507
00:25:18,058 --> 00:25:19,434
They were a little drunk.

508
00:25:19,518 --> 00:25:21,645
Kelseigh was… doing her thing.

509
00:25:21,728 --> 00:25:24,397
-Baby, I'm taking off.
-Yeah, yeah, whatever.

510
00:25:24,481 --> 00:25:26,191
[Holly] I was gathering
my things next door.

511
00:25:26,274 --> 00:25:27,943
They didn't even notice I was there.

512
00:25:28,026 --> 00:25:30,820
[Brad] Yeah, this place is gonna look
a lot different in a year.

513
00:25:30,904 --> 00:25:33,031
[Jack] Ooh. La, la, la!
I don't want to hear it.

514
00:25:33,114 --> 00:25:34,324
Plausible deniability.

515
00:25:34,407 --> 00:25:36,952
You can do whatever you want
after this contract is signed.

516
00:25:37,035 --> 00:25:40,038
That'll be the problem of whoever
takes this office after I'm gone.

517
00:25:40,121 --> 00:25:42,541
This office?
I'm gonna knock this whole building down.

518
00:25:42,624 --> 00:25:46,127
I'm gonna build myself
a primo podcasting studio.

519
00:25:46,211 --> 00:25:47,879
Brad, please, stop. What I--

520
00:25:47,963 --> 00:25:49,464
You should be thanking me.

521
00:25:49,548 --> 00:25:51,508
All these people should be thanking me.

522
00:25:51,591 --> 00:25:52,884
Wheeler's a pit.

523
00:25:53,677 --> 00:25:56,096
I can't wait to fire
all these useless professors,

524
00:25:56,179 --> 00:25:59,474
tear this place down to the studs,
and build a real school.

525
00:26:00,267 --> 00:26:03,103
[Holly] After they left,
I searched Jack's computer

526
00:26:03,186 --> 00:26:06,147
for proof of Vinick's plan,
but I couldn't find it.

527
00:26:06,231 --> 00:26:09,609
I needed to buy more time,
so I stole the laptop,

528
00:26:09,693 --> 00:26:12,153
and I sent the threatening email to Jack.

529
00:26:12,237 --> 00:26:14,239
So you don't want to call the police?

530
00:26:14,322 --> 00:26:16,449
I'm being blackmailed.

531
00:26:16,533 --> 00:26:19,744
We have to be able to control
the narrative here.

532
00:26:19,828 --> 00:26:21,788
I say we hire a private investigator.

533
00:26:21,871 --> 00:26:25,792
You know what? I have a great idea.
We're gonna hire a private investigator.

534
00:26:25,875 --> 00:26:26,876
Great idea.

535
00:26:27,502 --> 00:26:32,257
So you headed up the investigation
in order to keep tabs on us.

536
00:26:33,216 --> 00:26:35,635
I was hoping that
you would uncover hard evidence

537
00:26:35,719 --> 00:26:39,681
of Vinick's plan so I could leak it
to the board and torpedo the deal.

538
00:26:39,764 --> 00:26:42,142
Why burn the painting?

539
00:26:42,225 --> 00:26:45,520
What did Vinick say
that forced you to escalate things?

540
00:26:45,604 --> 00:26:49,024
Well, actually, he didn't say it to me.

541
00:26:49,107 --> 00:26:52,235
…so if you'd like to thank anyone
in your remarks,

542
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:54,904
you should probably thank
the entire art department.

543
00:26:54,988 --> 00:26:57,824
First of all, thanking people
is a sign of weakness.

544
00:26:57,907 --> 00:27:01,453
And second, once I take over,
the whole art department is gonna be…

545
00:27:01,536 --> 00:27:02,412
[blows raspberry]

546
00:27:02,495 --> 00:27:05,999
So you and your friends might want
to spruce up those résumés, sweetheart.

547
00:27:07,417 --> 00:27:09,419
These mini empanadas are amazing.

548
00:27:09,502 --> 00:27:10,503
Did you make these?

549
00:27:10,587 --> 00:27:13,173
If you made these, you can stay.

550
00:27:13,256 --> 00:27:14,758
[dramatic music playing]

551
00:27:16,134 --> 00:27:17,677
Betsy, what are you doing?

552
00:27:17,761 --> 00:27:19,638
Holly, he lied to us.

553
00:27:19,721 --> 00:27:22,098
He's gonna fire me.
He's gonna fire all of us.

554
00:27:22,182 --> 00:27:24,726
I know. And I'm trying to stop him.

555
00:27:25,393 --> 00:27:26,394
Do you want to help me?

556
00:27:26,478 --> 00:27:27,937
-Yeah.
-Good.

557
00:27:28,021 --> 00:27:32,150
Okay. If anyone asks,
and they will, you say this…

558
00:27:32,233 --> 00:27:34,819
I just hope we didn't scare that guy away.

559
00:27:34,903 --> 00:27:37,697
I know we're suspicious
of corporate types around here,

560
00:27:37,781 --> 00:27:40,742
but the museum could really use his money.

561
00:27:41,493 --> 00:27:43,328
Welcome to the resistance.

562
00:27:44,329 --> 00:27:47,207
[Holly] At first, it was supposed
to just be me and Betsy.

563
00:27:47,999 --> 00:27:50,418
She's the one who sent Julie
the text messages

564
00:27:50,502 --> 00:27:52,671
from the Wheeler Guardian account.

565
00:27:53,630 --> 00:27:56,925
But as things got more complex,
we needed more and more people.

566
00:27:57,008 --> 00:28:00,136
Can you leak these documents
to the paper in a way no one can trace?

567
00:28:00,220 --> 00:28:02,222
Oh, hell yeah.

568
00:28:02,889 --> 00:28:05,100
-This is the best day of my life.
-Really?

569
00:28:05,183 --> 00:28:06,351
Yeah, my life stinks.

570
00:28:06,434 --> 00:28:07,727
Been living in my office.

571
00:28:07,811 --> 00:28:11,106
Had to sell my motorcycle.
I carry the helmet 'cause it looks cool.

572
00:28:11,189 --> 00:28:13,566
I get all my meals from the garbage.

573
00:28:13,650 --> 00:28:15,944
Okay, we don't have time.
Just leak the documents.

574
00:28:16,027 --> 00:28:16,903
You got it.

575
00:28:16,986 --> 00:28:20,448
[Holly] Eventually, we had an entire team
trying to take down Vinick.

576
00:28:20,532 --> 00:28:23,493
I don't know if Nieuwendyk
is coming to the James Joyce event,

577
00:28:23,576 --> 00:28:25,704
but if he does, it's business as usual.

578
00:28:25,787 --> 00:28:29,082
Keep an eye on him and see
if he seems suspicious of anyone.

579
00:28:29,165 --> 00:28:30,583
[woman] And a reminder,

580
00:28:30,667 --> 00:28:34,212
do not give me any details
about anything you have done so far.

581
00:28:34,295 --> 00:28:39,134
I cannot and will not lie
if Julie or Charles questions me.

582
00:28:39,217 --> 00:28:41,761
Your ethical code is sexy as hell.

583
00:28:41,845 --> 00:28:43,930
It's not happening, Slavoj. Move on.

584
00:28:44,431 --> 00:28:48,351
All that time,
questioning all those people,

585
00:28:48,435 --> 00:28:50,937
trying to find the one person who did it…

586
00:28:51,020 --> 00:28:52,689
Turned out they all did.

587
00:28:52,772 --> 00:28:54,399
Mm, not all of them.

588
00:28:54,482 --> 00:28:59,070
Mona was never involved
because you and she bonded so quickly.

589
00:28:59,654 --> 00:29:02,991
And there was one other person
that I tried to keep in the dark,

590
00:29:03,074 --> 00:29:04,951
but eventually…

591
00:29:05,452 --> 00:29:06,953
Tell me the whole story.

592
00:29:07,620 --> 00:29:08,997
What are you talking about?

593
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:14,878
Nieuwendyk just chased Andrea
halfway across campus on a scooter.

594
00:29:14,961 --> 00:29:18,256
And now the PI is grilling her
near the turtle pond.

595
00:29:18,339 --> 00:29:20,425
And you have ten secret meetings a week,

596
00:29:20,508 --> 00:29:23,720
and you haven't invited me
to a single one.

597
00:29:23,803 --> 00:29:25,930
And, frankly, that hurts my feelings.

598
00:29:26,014 --> 00:29:27,640
Now let me help you.

599
00:29:28,141 --> 00:29:32,604
[Holly] I told him the whole story,
and he didn't say a word until I was done.

600
00:29:32,687 --> 00:29:35,023
And then he asked me one question.

601
00:29:35,106 --> 00:29:38,443
I assume you've
gotten rid of the evidence.

602
00:29:38,526 --> 00:29:40,111
Oh yeah, it's safe.

603
00:29:40,195 --> 00:29:43,114
I stashed the computer
and the pen in the old supply closet

604
00:29:43,198 --> 00:29:44,949
in the basement of the science lab.

605
00:29:46,117 --> 00:29:47,410
Good.

606
00:29:47,494 --> 00:29:50,205
[Holly] In a million years,
I never thought he'd go get them

607
00:29:50,288 --> 00:29:51,623
and do what he did.

608
00:29:52,165 --> 00:29:55,877
He knew it was only a matter of time
before Julie and I realized

609
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,712
that Berenger was innocent.

610
00:29:58,463 --> 00:30:00,715
Next logical person would've been you.

611
00:30:00,799 --> 00:30:01,800
[Holly] Poor Ben.

612
00:30:01,883 --> 00:30:03,718
This place was all he had.

613
00:30:04,260 --> 00:30:06,638
He lives alone. He has no family.

614
00:30:07,388 --> 00:30:11,518
Every day, I think about turning myself in
so he could get his old job back.

615
00:30:11,601 --> 00:30:15,730
If you did that,
scandal would engulf the entire school.

616
00:30:15,814 --> 00:30:19,400
Max, Betsy, Pamela… you'd all be fired.

617
00:30:19,484 --> 00:30:22,153
Ben did what he did to prevent that.

618
00:30:22,654 --> 00:30:26,950
Now, the best way for you to say thank you

619
00:30:27,659 --> 00:30:29,410
is to stay here

620
00:30:29,494 --> 00:30:30,995
and keep Wheeler safe.

621
00:30:31,079 --> 00:30:32,872
[gentle music playing]

622
00:30:35,500 --> 00:30:38,169
-You went here as an undergraduate, right?
-Mm-hm.

623
00:30:38,253 --> 00:30:39,754
What did you major in?

624
00:30:40,338 --> 00:30:41,673
Theater. [chuckles]

625
00:30:42,340 --> 00:30:44,843
Well, you gave a hell of a performance.

626
00:30:47,470 --> 00:30:48,513
[knocking]

627
00:30:52,350 --> 00:30:54,185
[dryly] Ah, good.

628
00:30:54,269 --> 00:30:55,895
Charles Nieuwendyk.

629
00:30:56,479 --> 00:30:58,189
Nice to see you too.

630
00:30:58,273 --> 00:30:59,274
Got a sec?

631
00:31:00,900 --> 00:31:02,485
How's retirement treating you?

632
00:31:02,569 --> 00:31:05,905
I wake up, I walk, I read my books,

633
00:31:05,989 --> 00:31:11,286
I… fall asleep, and I get up
and do it all over again the next day.

634
00:31:13,204 --> 00:31:14,914
Have you spoken to Holly?

635
00:31:14,998 --> 00:31:15,999
Rarely.

636
00:31:16,082 --> 00:31:19,377
The last thing I want is to be a burden.

637
00:31:20,169 --> 00:31:22,422
Although she did call me this morning.

638
00:31:22,505 --> 00:31:24,424
She filled me in on

639
00:31:25,258 --> 00:31:26,467
a few

640
00:31:27,385 --> 00:31:29,053
recent developments.

641
00:31:30,847 --> 00:31:32,515
I'm glad she's there.

642
00:31:33,516 --> 00:31:34,934
In these troubled times,

643
00:31:35,018 --> 00:31:37,645
Wheeler needs her, you know, steady hand.

644
00:31:38,354 --> 00:31:39,647
[sighs] Mm.

645
00:31:40,815 --> 00:31:41,816
Hm.

646
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,361
So, what brings you to my door, Charles?

647
00:31:45,945 --> 00:31:47,864
I need you to do me a favor.

648
00:31:48,573 --> 00:31:51,659
Deliver this for me. In person.

649
00:31:52,410 --> 00:31:54,787
Oh, this is very cloak and dagger.

650
00:31:55,288 --> 00:31:56,748
What's inside?

651
00:31:56,831 --> 00:31:58,583
-Just a brief note.
-Mm.

652
00:31:58,666 --> 00:32:01,753
-Why can't you do this yourself?
-Doesn't matter.

653
00:32:01,836 --> 00:32:04,672
Just know the contents are important

654
00:32:04,756 --> 00:32:07,258
and it needs to be delivered
as soon as possible.

655
00:32:07,342 --> 00:32:08,509
Well, I…

656
00:32:09,344 --> 00:32:11,137
I suppose I do owe you one.

657
00:32:12,597 --> 00:32:14,140
Consider it done.

658
00:32:18,686 --> 00:32:19,896
Take care of yourself.

659
00:32:19,979 --> 00:32:21,689
Goodbye, Charles.

660
00:32:21,773 --> 00:32:24,359
I sincerely hope I never see you again.

661
00:32:25,443 --> 00:32:27,278
I have a feeling you will.

665
00:32:45,588 --> 00:32:46,631
Excuse me.

00:32:48,091 --> 00:32:51,344
Are you Didi Santos Cordero?

667
00:32:51,427 --> 00:32:53,304
I am. And you are?

668
00:32:53,388 --> 00:32:54,681
Dr. Benjamin Cole.

669
00:32:54,764 --> 00:32:58,977
A former colleague of mine
asked me to deliver this to you,

670
00:32:59,060 --> 00:33:02,188
although I have no earthly idea why.

671
00:33:03,439 --> 00:33:06,025

"He's a very stubborn professor,
and he needs your help. Charles."

673
00:33:13,574 --> 00:33:16,244
Are you also a professor of engineering?

674
00:33:16,327 --> 00:33:17,453
Oh, God, no.

675
00:33:17,537 --> 00:33:18,830
No. I teach…

676
00:33:19,622 --> 00:33:23,292
Well, I taught English literature

677
00:33:23,376 --> 00:33:26,754
until quite recently when I…

678
00:33:27,338 --> 00:33:28,339
Well, I…

679
00:33:28,923 --> 00:33:29,966
I'm retired.

680
00:33:30,466 --> 00:33:32,802
Well, thank you for delivering this, Ben.

681
00:33:33,302 --> 00:33:35,263
Sorry, do you prefer Benjamin or Ben?

682
00:33:35,346 --> 00:33:37,682
I prefer Dr. Benjamin Cole.

683
00:33:37,765 --> 00:33:39,809
May I ask what's in the note?

684
00:33:40,393 --> 00:33:43,646
I have been looking for someone
to refurbish our library,

685
00:33:43,730 --> 00:33:45,857
and Charles thought
you might fit the bill.

686
00:33:46,357 --> 00:33:49,444
-Could I show it to you?
-Hm. Oh, yes, I suppose.

687
00:33:50,611 --> 00:33:53,281
I do enjoy a nice library.

688
00:33:53,364 --> 00:33:56,409
Ours is small by your standards,
but maybe you could help us improve it.

689
00:33:56,492 --> 00:33:58,953
We could get a coffee on the way
if you like.

690
00:33:59,037 --> 00:34:02,957
Or, actually, it's almost happy hour
if you want to stay for a bit.

695
00:34:19,432 --> 00:34:22,560
So, how did everyone like the book?

696
00:34:22,643 --> 00:34:23,519
What book?

697
00:34:23,603 --> 00:34:25,146
I wasn't asked to read a book.

698
00:34:25,229 --> 00:34:28,274
I was asked to read
The Hunt for Red October.

699
00:34:28,357 --> 00:34:30,777
-You got a problem with my choice?
-[Ben] Several.

700
00:34:30,860 --> 00:34:34,363
The plot is preposterous,
the dialogue juvenile,

701
00:34:34,447 --> 00:34:38,576
and the sentence structure
makes Hemingway look like a Marcel Proust.

702
00:34:38,659 --> 00:34:40,661
For Christ's sake, I can't do this again.

703
00:34:40,745 --> 00:34:44,499
We get rid of one pompous professor
just to get another one right back in?

704
00:34:44,582 --> 00:34:45,833
Did you like it or not?

705
00:34:46,417 --> 00:34:48,377
I… I couldn't put it down. [chuckles]

706
00:34:48,461 --> 00:34:49,837
My heart was racing.

707
00:34:49,921 --> 00:34:52,465
I mean, my God, what a ripping yarn.

708
00:34:52,548 --> 00:34:57,345
And now the dust jacket suggests
Jack Ryan has further adventures?

709
00:34:57,428 --> 00:34:59,138
Oh, yes, but don't read the books.

710
00:34:59,222 --> 00:35:00,473
Watch the movies.

711
00:35:00,556 --> 00:35:03,184
All the actors who play him are gorgeous.

712
00:35:03,726 --> 00:35:06,687
Alex Baldman, Harriston Ford,

713
00:35:06,771 --> 00:35:09,065
Jim… Office…

714
00:35:09,148 --> 00:35:11,567
-Boston Batman…
-[Ben] Oh, well, excellent.

715
00:35:11,651 --> 00:35:14,487
Perhaps we should form
a cinema club as well.

716
00:35:14,570 --> 00:35:18,658
No, Calbert will make us watch Caddyshack
for the millionth time.

717
00:35:18,741 --> 00:35:20,409
It's a classic.

718
00:35:20,493 --> 00:35:22,495
How are you in this book club?

719
00:35:22,578 --> 00:35:24,455
You don't even live here.

720
00:35:24,956 --> 00:35:27,208
Shoo. Begone.

721
00:35:27,708 --> 00:35:30,753
You know, I think you and I
might get along after all.
