[horn honking]

- [Guard] Central, this is 3.

We're clear.

- Yeah, that's a check.

- [Guard] Section 2, clear.

- Yeah, that's a check.

[clock ticking]

[footsteps clicking]

- We have a problem here.

[mysterious music]

The Declaration of Independence is gone.

Get down here now.

- [Helen] Frank, I'm case officer here, right?

- Helen, will you relax?

- Just so everyone's clear.

- Okay, you want that in blood?

- Hey, I'm making sure, okay?

- Okay.

- Bill Joyner? - This way.

- [Frank] Tom.

- Frank. - How are you?

Frank Darnell with the Central Security Agency.

This is Helen Morriston, case officer.

- Bill Joyner, head of bank security.

Nice to meet you, Frank.

Helen, pleasure.

- So what's the story here?

- [Frank] So you're telling me that this thing disappeared

while you were in the room?

- Yes.

One minute it, was there.

Less than a minute later, it was gone.

- You didn't see anything? You didn't hear anything?

- No. I'm telling you, it disappeared like magic.

- [Helen] Security system on the

display case doesn't look breached.

- Yeah, well, Dr. Arguff from the National Archive

has the only key to the encasement,

plus this display case is wired to an alarm system.

It would have gone off if the case was tampered with.

- Pretty big building.

Anyone else here at the time?

- No one except the bank security team and us.

- We've got to take care of the public.

They're gonna be lining up in a few hours.

How should we handle this?

- Put out a release saying that the exhibit's

been closed down for a few days,

that there's been a problem with the protective encasement.

- Good. I'll take care of it.

- Let's take a look at the security tapes.

Whoa. Stop right there.

Okay, rewind a bit.

There.

Okay, play it at normal speed.

[telephone ringing]

[Jane groans]

- Hello?

- Hey, it's Frank.

I need to see you.

- You got to be kidding.

- No, I'm not kidding.

I need you to meet me at the First Metropolitan Bank.

Can you get out right now?

- Yes.

I'll be right there.

- Yeah.

- [Jack] What's the matter?

- It's the game company.

- This early? - Yeah.

Someone stole the idea of a game I'm working on.

I got to go.

- [Man] Just around the corner, honey!

- Someone stole the Declaration of Independence?

- [Frank] No, they just didn't steal it,

they made the thing disappear.

- Well, that's a neat trick.

- First stop on its national tour,

and we've gotten five calls from Washington already.

- Hi.

Agent Morriston, case officer.

- Hi.

- You're the famous puzzle solver

that Frank dug out of retirement?

- Yeah.

- Helen, Jane's one of the best agents

I've ever worked with.

- All right. Understood.

Well, the display case has been dusted

and there's not a single fingerprint,

and this one's really gonna test you

because the theft occurred not only under our noses,

but under Mr. Joyner's security team as well.

- Hi, Jane. Bill Joyner, head of bank security.

- Hi. - Nice to meet you.

Well, I just can't believe this.

It's not possible. - Somehow, it is.

- I mean, how could they have just lifted it?

It was under bank surveillance the moment it arrived.

- Without interruption?

- Not a second.

Any ideas?

- Has anybody explored the possibility

that maybe the document wasn't stolen out of this case?

- What do you mean?

- I don't know.

Maybe it was never there to begin with.

- Excuse me?

- Well, the protective encasement is still here,

and it would be my guess that whoever stole it

would realize how fragile

such a very old piece of paper would be.

- [Helen] So?

- So why would they take it out of its protective encasement

and then take the time to reseal it

and then leave it behind?

Let's take a look at it.

- Wait, wait, wait. We can't do that.

We have to wait for Dr. Arguff to arrive from Washington.

- We don't have time.

- Wait, wait, stop! [alarms wailing]

- [Helen] Is that a screen?

- It's a plasma monitor,

powered by this battery here and controlled by remote.

- [Frank] That's brilliant.

- High-def image viewed through the encasement

and the display case looked like the real deal, huh?

- [Harper] This is the source of our image.

- Harper, can you turn it back on?

- Yeah, sure.

[device clicks]

[monitor buzzing]

- The real document could have been stolen at any time.

- No, not until it arrived here.

This was the first stop on the tour.

- Okay, why would anybody go through all the trouble

of switching out the real declaration with this

when all they would have to do is

take the original document and run?

- What do you think? - Well, the exhibit arrived on Sunday.

Today is Wednesday, so...

- Gives our bad guys four days head start.

They could be anywhere on the planet with it by now.

- You're dealing with some very, very smart people here.

- Some? - Yeah, one person alone couldn't have done this.

No way. I'm sorry, I got to go.

- Wait. You're leaving? - Yeah, whoever stole it isn't planning

on selling it on eBay.

They're obviously holding one of America's

most cherished documents for a very large ransom,

so I think I've done my bit.

Dealing with the ransom is yours.

Good luck. Nice to meet you.

Bye, Frank.

[students chattering]

So how was your day, honey?

- [Nick] Nobody beat me up.

- [Jane] Okay, that's good.

- Hey.

What's this?

Oh, you did you go see the Declaration of Independence?

- Actually, I haven't yet,

but do you know how many people signed it?

- 56. - Ah, good.

And you know why?

- Because the government should exist

for the benefit of the people, not the rulers.

- Very good.

Hey, is that Phil?

- Detention. [Phil chuckles]

- Hi, Mom. This is Phil.

- Hi, Mrs. Davis.

Pleasure to meet you. Heard a lot about you.

All good.

- Thanks.

- Hey, Nick!

See you tomorrow? - Okay.

Thank you. - Bye, you guys.

- Bye, Phil.

- "Oh, Phil.

Oh, Phil, my love."

- Mom, are you gonna let him embarrass me like this?

- Mom, you're not going to let Susan go out

with that cretin.

- All right, all right, all right.

Use your powers of vocabulary

for good and not evil, Nick. - But that's impossible, Mom,

because he is evil.

- [Nick] I wonder how many of Phil's girlfriends

fawn over him like you?

- Oh, my god. I wish I were an only child.

- Well, so do I, but does that mean - You don't even act

like a person. - You're an idiot, you know?

- I'm an idiot? - All right, you know what?

Time out!

Time out!

[crickets chirping]

- Well, I have great news.

My old friend Norman Perkins is transferring here

from his Pittsburgh office.

- Oh, how's he doing?

His wife died a year ago.

- Norman thought a change of scene would be a good move

for himself and his son Brent.

- How old is his son?

- Same age as Susan.

- Don't even think it.

- [Jack] Now, Brent's gonna be going to your school.

I thought it would be nice

if you would introduce him around.

- Dad.

- Maybe tomorrow night

we could have a quick get-acquainted?

- Wait. But Phil's taking me to the movie's tomorrow night.

- Not anymore.

- Honey, I'm sure Phil will understand.

[Susan scoffs] [cellphone rings]

- Hello?

Okay.

Okay, I'm not interested.

No. Bye.

[cellphone beeps] [Jane sighs]

Telemarketers,

they're always calling at dinnertime...

Oh, spilled the milk.

I'm gonna go to the market, you guys,

and I could use a little timeout myself.

You take care of them.

- [Chatter at store]] Don't forget to get the milk, okay?

- [Man] I'll just be a minute!

- That's 14.39.

Slide it right through.

You have to push Credit or ATM.

There you go.

Have a great night.

- [Agent] She's okay.

[panel beeping]

[elevator bell rings]

[people chattering]

- Okay.

Thanks for coming down.

- Are you having trouble coping, Frank?

- No.

- Well, why'd you call me?

- Because this is your kinda case.

- Oh, come on, Frank,

it's a straight up kidnapping,

but instead of a person, it's a piece of paper.

A very important piece of paper, yes, but-

- I know what it is.

- But you don't need me.

- Look, we've talked to everybody at the bank

and the National Archive.

We've gone over the security tapes over a dozen times,

and we're still no closer to figuring out how

and when the switch was made.

I want to go fast.

- No ransom note?

- Not yet.

- Frank, we need to talk.

- All right, over here.

You want some cookies with that?

- Frank, I can't lie to Jack.

I'm gonna have to tell him.

- You can't tell him.

You do that, you put your family at risk.

- I know. I know.

- Look, don't look at it as a lie.

- I'd love to help you catch these creeps, Frank.

I can't stand sneaking around.

I'm no good at it.

- Look, it's just for a couple days.

Two days.

- What about Helen?

- There's plenty for her to do.

I don't know how much longer we can keep the theft a secret.

If the press gets a hold of it, it's gonna be a nightmare.

I need someone who can solve this puzzle

and do it fast, and that's you.

- Only me? Should I be flattered?

- Haven't I always said you're the best?

- When you need something.

- Well, I need something.

You.

- Again?

- One more time.

- [Man] Just around the corner, honey!

- So these are all your surveillance videos for that day?

- Yeah. - Ah.

Everything on these tapes occurred Sunday?

- Yeah. Yeah.

My security team, headed by Clarence,

spent that night in the bank,

and then the declaration was put on display

for the public the next morning.

- So, as you can see,

the container containing the document is handed over

to your CSA agents who then take it

and they carry it inside, directly into the main room,

where, then, it is placed and locked in the display case.

- Who's that guy? - That's Don Henkel.

He supplied the display case and this alarm system,

as well as the additional security monitoring devices.

- Oh. Could you freeze the tape?

- [Clarence] Mm-hm.

- How did we get Henkel?

- He's a security systems expert.

The bank's used him for years.

He installed all of the original security for the bank.

- And all the additional surveillance systems,

just for this exhibit.

- What do we know about him?

- Quiet guy.

Really knows his stuff.

- Oh, he's a genius.

Well, with things electronic.

- Hm.

All right.

Any idea where he might be right now?

- Well, most likely, he's at his office.

He's a real workaholic.

- How much do we know about his guy Don Henkel?

- Well, he designed the display case

and the alarm system that went with it.

- Well, it kinda puts him in the ballpark

of being a suspect, but-

- It doesn't convict him,

but he's more than capable of designing the device

that everybody thought was the real document.

- Really? - Yes.

- We should make a house call. - Frank.

- Yeah? - Hi.

I hope I'm not interrupting anything.

- [Frank] No, not at all. - But I think I found someone

who might shed some light on this case.

- Really? - Yeah. A man named Donald Henkel

who designed the security alarm system

that's attached to the display case.

He might know something.

- [Frank] That's good thinking. Good. - Okay.

I'll get the search warrant.

- Okay.

Don't start.

Neighbors say he hasn't been around for a couple days.

Works out of his home. Must be a pretty small operation.

- Well, his file says that he's a one-man band.

Doesn't have to worry about the integrity

of the staff that way.

How long you been seeing Helen?

[Frank sighs]

- Oh, she works for me.

- Mm. - Just friends.

- Oh.

I remember when I first started working for the CSA,

you and I became just friends

till you went to Ireland with Marge Redmond

and became just friends with her.

You're no better a liar today than you were then.

- I'm not the same guy that I was then.

- Oh, yeah, you are.

Just a little bit smoother.

- So insulting.

- Here's the search warrant.

Due to the fact that a national treasure is at stake,

the judge gave us a blank check.

- Good. - Hm.

[door knocking]

- No answer. - Go ahead, open it.

- [Harper] All right.

[panel beeping] - Big surprise that Henkel's

genius in security included his home.

Might have a little trouble getting in here quietly, huh?

- [Frank] Well, maybe, maybe not. We'll see.

- Was it your idea to bring Harper?

- Well, with Henkel's background,

I thought we might run into a problem like this.

- Well, that's why you're the boss.

[device beeps] - And we're in.

[lock clacks]

- This is the CSA. We have a search warrant.

We're authorized to enter the premises.

Anyone home?!

- I'll check the house. - Uh-huh.

- [Jane] Doesn't look like he's been here in a while.

- [Frank] Hasn't checked his answering machine

in a while either.

[answering machine beeping]

- [Answering Machine] Monday, 9:37 a.m.

[answering machine beeping]

- [Miriam] Hi, Bob.

This is Miriam from Advanced Digital.

Why don't you give me a call?

I have the specs ready for you.

- 27 messages.

First one came in on Monday, today's Thursday.

- I'll have the boys go over this,

see if there's anything on here we can use.

- Other than the mail, seems like a pretty neat guy.

- He's looking more like our prime suspect,

not to mention your typical computer nerd.

- Actually, most computer nerds I know litter the floor

with Ding Dong wrappers

and wear the same clothes for three days.

- Well, if he is our man, he's very smart.

He rigged a fake document so no one would know

it was gone for almost a week.

That gives him a pretty big head start.

- Let's run him through the EPIC database at headquarters.

- We can't tell her. - No, no.

- No, no, no. - No, absolutely not.

- She's right.

- Here you go, babe. - Thank you, sweetheart.

- Oh, that's great. - Thank you.

- Oh, you guys, you know, thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot for making our first day so great.

Right, Brent?

- Uh-huh.

- Well, we thought you could

use a break from unpacking.

- And don't forget, tomorrow night,

home-cooked meal right here.

- Oh, you don't have to twist my arm. I'm here.

- Well, how do you like school so far?

Seem okay? - It's cool.

- Well, Susan would be happy to introduce you around.

Wouldn't you, Susan?

- Yeah, um...

- So when's the cake coming out?

- Susan, want to help me?

- [Jack] Well, I hope you guys are hungry.

- I am. - How long has it been

since we've had a home-cooked meal?

- Brent's a nice guy.

- Mom, why can't Nick help Brent get acquainted?

- Because Nick is 12, and you're 16 and you're in his class, honey.

- Yeah, but he's egotistical and conceited

and completely monosyllabic.

- Mm-hm.

And?

- I don't want Phil to get the wrong idea.

- Just introduce him to Phil first, okay? [cellphone chimes]

And...

- [Jack] You guys deserve to have some cake, all right?

- Oh, this looks great.

[cake spatters]

I'm so embarrassed. - What did you just do?

- I'm gonna go get another cake.

Give them some coffee,

and tell them I'm on a long phone call.

Okay, okay.

Clean it up, okay? Be right back.

- [Man] $15 million returns your precious declaration,

one dollar less returns a box of ashes.

You'll be contacted tomorrow.

Have the money ready.

[line clicks] [line hums]

- When did this come in?

- About an hour ago.

We managed to clean it up quite a bit.

We compared Henkel's outgoing message

with the incoming call.

Ran it through our equipment.

This is what we got.

Check out the voice pattern.

- You don't have to be a puzzle expert

to see that they match.

- Congratulations.

Now, all we have to do is pay up,

or find Henkel before he destroys the declaration.

Right?

Oh, you know, and while you're at it,

you might want to ask yourself,

"Why would such an electronics genius

do such a poor job disguising his voice?"

What did it take you, all of five minutes to break it down?

- I called you down here to keep you in the loop.

I might still need your help.

- Is that right, Helen?

- Anything's possible.

[Jane sighs] - All right, I'll call you tomorrow.

You might want to round up that cash though, huh?

- [Clarence] Yes, I oversee all

of Mr. Joyner's security operations.

- So you didn't see anything out of the ordinary

from the time the exhibit arrived until it vanished, right?

- No.

You know the protective encasement

that contains the document?

It must have been switched before it got here.

- Frank? - Yeah.

Listen, thanks. I appreciate it.

If you think of anything else, you let me know.

- Will do.

- Okay. Thank you.

Yeah?

- Why is she still here?

- Helen, Helen, we need all the help we can get.

Look, if Jane can solve this puzzle,

you can take that information

and you can bring in the people that are responsible.

It's called teamwork.

My opinion, I think both of you make a great team.

- All right.

Just as long as she knows who's captain.

- I don't think she'd have it any other way.

- Park it right there! [door clacks]

- Hey. Mr. Joyner.

I wanted to talk to you. - Hi there.

Jane, is it? - Yeah, yeah.

- Hi, how you doing? - Uh-huh.

Yeah, good, good, good.

- Want a cup of coffee? I'm going for a cup of coffee.

- Sure, sure.

How's our story on the temporary closure

of the exhibit holding up?

- Ah, well, the papers and TV stations went for it.

- Oh, that's good.

Well, look, according to his file,

Henkel was a very reputable, honest, high-tech security guy,

not to mention his tenure with the bank.

It just seems, I don't know, out of character?

- I actually bought into his act.

I feel like such a jerk.

- Well, you know, don't beat yourself up too hard.

People aren't what they seem.

- Yeah, but it happened on my watch though.

Listen, Jane, I need to help you find this guy, understand?

- Yeah. Bank making noises about you being responsible?

- Not yet, but give them time.

Want some coffee? - Sure. Black.

- Two black, please.

Thanks.

- Well, according to his file, Henkel was married.

Did you know her?

- Ex-wife. She really took him to the cleaners when she

found out he was fooling around on her.

- I bet you know where we can find her.

- [Fran] You have got to be kidding.

Don couldn't plan a menu, let alone something like this.

- Well, I always thought of Mr. Henkel as a bright man.

- Yes.

Electronics, computers.

The only thing Don really loves

because they can't love him back.

- [Jane] You have a very nice house, Mrs. Henkel.

- [Fran] Thank you.

- Yeah, must have received

a very handsome divorce settlement and alimony?

- Nothing Don couldn't afford,

and certainly none of your business.

- Well, it could become everybody's business, Mrs. Henkel,

if, as we suspect, your ex-husband is involved.

You'll be called in to testify.

- I got the house, Don got all the investments.

Now, look, he doesn't have the stomach

for something like this.

And besides, he suffers from very severe migraines.

He's on constant medication,

and if he doesn't take it, he's in serious trouble.

He could never ever handle the stress.

- Medication?

- [Woman] Honey, can you shut off the sprinkler for me?!

- So you want to tell me what you're looking for?

- This.

- Pills?

- Prescription medication for

severe migraine headaches.

If Henkel did it and then skipped town,

wouldn't he have taken his medication with him?

- Maybe he's planning on using some of that 15 million- dollar ransom

to get a refill. [telephone beeping]

- Hello, yeah, I just wanted to check

a prescription for a Donald Henkel?

Yeah, I'm his wife.

Yeah, I just wanted to make sure he remembered it.

Oh.

Oh, he just called?

And he's coming down to get it now?

Oh, that's great. Thank you so much.

[telephone beeps]

Let's go.

[people chattering]

[door thuds] [bell jingles]

- [Woman] Not for her buddy, no.

It's just a cop.

- [Man] Excuse me, I'm here to pick up my prescription?

- [Pharmacist] Be right with you. Hello?

- Donald Henkel. - No, no.

No, 3:30's fine.

Yeah. Right.

[telephone clacks] Your name again, sir?

- [Man] Donald Henkel.

- [Pharmacist] Oh, hang on. Here it is.

Sir, you want to put that on the insurance card?

- [Man] No, I'll pay cash.

- Bad migraine headache tonight, huh?

- Yeah.

Thanks. Keep the change.

- Thank you.

- [Girl] Mom?!

$4 parking here!

- [Mother] Mommy will be right back.

You just stay in the backseat.

- [Man] Yo, what's up?!

- [Jane] Mr. Henkel?

[tires screeching] [horn honking]

- [Driver] Hey!

Watch where you're going!

[hand thuds]

[tires screeching] - Hey, easy!

Jane!

[Jane panting]

[suspenseful music]

[thrilling music]

[suspenseful music]

[footsteps pattering]

[water dripping]

[gun fires]

[Jane sighs]

[Jane grunts] Easy, easy.

It's me, it's me, it's me.

- Let's go.

- [Man] Hey, neighbor!

- Hey, come on. Finish your breakfast.

It's getting cold.

- I'm done anyway.

- You are so good with those bikes.

- Thanks.

- Gonna fix my car for me?

- Oh, yeah, sure.

- Eat up.

Are you working today?

- Construction knows no weekends.

What about you?

- I think I have to interview someone today.

- On a Saturday?

I wish you'd talk to the people

at that puzzle company about your hours.

You know, my work's going great.

Any time you want to call it quits, it's fine by me.

- Tell that to me when the future of America starts college.

- Don't worry, I'll get a scholarship

to the college of my choice.

- Amy's mom is driving a bunch of us to the mall today.

- Oh.

- What about me? - What about you?

What are you gonna do today, Nick?

- I'm going over to Quentin's to help him with the computer.

I'll ride my bike. It's just down the street.

- Don't forget, we have dinner

with Norman and Brent tonight.

- And I'm supposed to go to dinner with Phil tonight.

- Well, why don't you ask him to come over to dinner too?

- Great idea.

Then, he can see how a real person acts.

- I don't make fun of your friends.

Oh, that's because you have no friends.

- Brent is my friend.

- You date him.

I got to go.

- Mm, bye. - Love you, Mom.

- Bye.

- See you, Dad. - Bye.

- [Nick] See you, Mom.

- [Jane] Bye, honey.

- Just think, in a few years,

they'll be going off to college,

and then they'll probably want to move back in here.

- You'll be singing a different tune

when they don't visit us in the old folks' home.

- Just as long as it's you and me, babe, I will be fine.

Bye.

[Jane chuckles]

- Mm. [Jack chuckles]

- [Frank] What do you say, Big John?

- [John] Frank.

- Thank you. - Sir.

[people chattering]

- Yeah, everything's fine, so you just keep doing what you're doing and-

- [Frank] Hey, guys.

- Hey. - What's going on?

- Got a lot of work to do before this bank opens again.

- Yeah, I bet.

Look, could we talk for a sec?

- Sure. What's up?

- [Frank] I hear you and Jane had a busy day yesterday.

- Yeah. Turned out that way.

- You were a cop, right?

- Yeah. So?

- I want you to put yourself in my shoes for a second.

- Go ahead.

- Let's say you have an outside source that comes in

and takes one of your people out, almost gets them killed.

Would make you a little upset, wouldn't it?

- She asked me to help her out.

- So you go out and play hero, and put her at risk?

- I was a cop, not some suit from Washington playing cop.

Plus, I saved her life.

Let's get that part straight.

- Thank you for that.

- Don't mention it.

- But if I ever hear you doing

something stupid like that again,

I'm gonna come right for you, suit and all.

We clear?

- I hear you.

[gentle music]

[car horn honks] [car alarm chirps]

[mysterious music]

[doorbell rings]

[door knocking]

- Mrs. Henkel?

Fran?

[cat mewing]

[cellphone ringing] [Jane gasps]

[cellphone beeps]

Henkel residence.

- [Man] You won't find Fran Henkel at home

because we have her.

- Who is this?

- [Man] Someone who wants to play ransom

the document with you.

By the way, the price just went up to $20 million,

but I'm throwing in the phone.

Be sure to keep it handy.

I'll be in touch.

[line click] [line hums]

- [Frank] How's our the spin on this?

- The exhibit's being temporarily closed

while the adjustments are being made

to the document's protective encasement.

Let's hope they buy it.

- Background checks?

- I'm working on it. Bases are covered.

I'm checking on the background

of every bank employee as we speak.

- All right. You get anything good, let me know.

- Okay.

- Helen, I need- - Just a moment.

This had better be good.

- The bad boys want to play.

I just needed to talk to Fran one more time.

I don't know how he knew I was gonna be there,

but he did, and I'm very worried about Fran.

- You think her ex-husband made a house call?

- Well, I- - Sounds like a possibility.

[cellphone ringing]

- No. You answer it.

It's okay. They'll be expecting her.

Go ahead.

[cellphone beeps]

- [Jane] Hello?

- [Man] Ready to play ransom?

Hello?

- Yes. - There are two pay phones

in front of the Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard.

I'll call in exactly 10 minutes.

Come alone and answer by the third ring,

or I hang up and game over.

Goodbye.

- But wait a second.

Which payphone in the Chinese Theater?

What do you...

- What did he want? - Me alone in 10 minutes.

- [Frank] That's not a good idea.

You need backup.

- Frank, he said he wants me alone.

If he's smart enough to make the declaration disappear,

he's gonna be smart enough to spot any backup.

- Okay.

- Thanks.

[people chattering]

- [Woman] Go and check it out!

[people chattering]

- [Woman] There you go, sweetie.

[people chattering]

[Jane sighs]

[Jane sighs]

- Come on. Come on, come on, come on.

[telephone rings]

Hello?

Hello?! [man laughs]

- [Man] Isn't this a fun game?

- No, it isn't.

- [Man] Relax.

You've got 19 minutes to make it to your next stop.

There's a payphone beneath

the Hollywood sign in Griffith Park.

Come late and you can kiss the declaration goodbye.

- No, wait, wait, wait!

[line hums] [Jane scoffs]

Hollywood sign.

[telephone ringing]

Hello?

- [Man] You're late!

- I'm sorry, but I-

- [Man] Not to worry.

You'll redeem yourself by finding a payphone

at the corner of Dayton and Rodeo in Beverly Hills.

That's a couple of blocks west of the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

You have 12 minutes, so you better make it snappy.

- Wait. [line hums]

[handset clacks] [Jane groans]

[Jane sighs]

[Jane sighs]

[people chattering]

Where's the payphone?

[Jane sighs]

[cellphone rings]

[cellphone beeps]

Hello? - Guess what?

There are no pay phones in Beverly Hills.

- But- - I told you to come alone.

You're being followed.

Goodbye! [line clicks]

- What do you think you're doing?

- You didn't seriously think

I'd let you handle this alone, did you?

- He said come alone.

You almost blew the whole thing.

- I'm just looking out after your safety.

[Jane sighs]

You shouldn't have gone off alone.

- [Jane] Caller's instructions were explicit.

- [Helen] I couldn't leave you out there exposed.

- [Jane] I didn't need you.

- Look, I don't need an attitude from you!

- Whoa, whoa. What's the problem?

What's going on?

- Maybe you should explain to her

that I'm the senior officer on this case.

- Well, call me crazy, but I thought Frank was the boss.

I mean- - Okay, all right.

Look, that's enough, you two need to calm down

and stay focused, okay?

Please?

Harper, what's up with the balloons?

- I got a call from headquarters,

saying there's an important package for you

at the Wilshire Hotel.

- You're kidding. - Nope.

You better take a look at what was delivered.

- Got the front desk? - Yep.

- On it.

Wilshire hotel?

- It's Henkel.

- Thank you.

No one at the hotel remembers who dropped it off.

- [Jane] No one saw those balloons?

- There was a busload of tourists who came checking in,

and by the time things quieted down at the front desk,

the envelope was already there.

They figured it was for a guest.

- All right, we need to get down to the hotel.

Maybe there's somebody there that saw the person

that dropped this thing off.

[Frank sighs]

You go home.

- [Jane] Well, maybe somebody could email me the picture.

- [Harper] I'll take care of that.

- Hey, Mom. What's up?

Quentin's mom said you wanted to see me?

Hope this isn't about Susan.

Whatever she said is a lie.

- No, no, no, no, no. I need your help with something.

Come here and look at this.

I've been staring at this for the longest time.

Look.

- [Nick] Hey, is that the Declaration of Independence?

- [Jane] Yeah. I'm trying to enlarge the picture.

- I can do it.

- Cool. Thanks.

- Okay, we can have this puppy enhanced so large,

we'll be able to see the threads in the paper.

[Jane chuckles]

[keyboard clacking]

- Okay. Can you enhance this part?

- The window in the background?

What for? - Just a hunch.

- Okay.

- What do you think it is?

- Looks like a big house with a garage for big trucks?

- Can you read these numbers above the door?

- Looks like L, something F.

Maybe it's O.

No. Or D.

LAFD 14.

Los Angeles Fire Department number 14.

- You're a genius.

- Am I free to go? Go! Go, go.

- Okay. [pencil scratching]

[Jane exhales]

[people chattering]

[car horn honks] [car alarm chirps]

- [Jane] Hi.

- Hey. How you doing?

- Oh, good. Good.

- We don't get too many adults around here.

It's usually the kids who want to play with the firetrucks.

[Jane chuckles]

- Well, you know, you guys deserve to be appreciated.

- Yeah, tell that to the president.

How about a cook's tour?

Want to see our quarters upstairs?

- Oh, no, not now.

Maybe later. I was actually...

I did want to look at your trucks

'cause I've never really seen them up close.

They're so big.

- What about next week?

I mean, I'm a pretty good cook.

I mean, I could make you a real firehouse lunch.

- Oh, that's so nice, but my husband and my kids,

they keep me really busy.

- Oh, come on.

You're much too young and pretty to have a family.

- Oh, oh, well, that's a really nice compliment,

but, actually, I wanted to ask you about

this house over here.

How long has it been for rent?

- I don't know. Maybe six months?

- Hm.

Well, they're gonna have a hard time renting it

if they don't fix it up.

- Yeah, I don't know, a couple of guys

have been working on it, but they ran out of money.

Personally, I think it's starting to look like a fire trap.

[Jane chuckles]

- Well, do you ever see anybody there?

- Not staying there.

Occasionally, someone goes in and out, but that's about it.

- Oh. Well, thank you so much for your time, Chief.

- Yeah.

Don't forget, lunch offer still stands.

- Ah. Okay, well, I'll bring my family.

- [Man] Take one with the birthday!

- [Man] Think she went to the valley.

[door knocking]

- Hello?

[doorknob rattles]

[doorknob rattles] [door rattles]

[car rumbling]

[door thuds]

[cellphone rings]

- Yeah?

Yeah, it's cool.

Don't worry about it.

Yeah, I checked it out.

[feet shuffling]

So when do you want me to do this?

You want me to wait for your phone call?

All right.

No problem. Then, I'll come back and take care of it.

Cool.

[door clacks]

[door thuds]

[door creaks]

[door creaks]

[Fran groaning]

- I'm so sorry.

- Oh, god. Is he here?

- He's gone. He's gone.

Are you all right?

- Yes.

I'm gonna be all right.

- Okay.

- I'll be all right if you untie me.

- Yes.

[people chattering]

- I'm sorry.

I can't tell you anything beyond what I've already said.

- [Frank] Well, what did he say to you?

- As I told you, he said, "Don't make a sound."

- [Helen] Well, that's not much to go on, Mrs. Henkel.

- The doorbell rang, I opened the door,

a man wearing a mask pointed a gun at me and said,

"Don't make a sound."

He made me get in his car,

he drove me out here, he tied me up.

I was scared.

What do you expect?

- Did he threaten you in any way?

- Other than scaring me half to death, no.

- We have reason to believe that the man

that kidnapped you is somehow associated

with your ex-husband.

- You're saying Don had me kidnapped?

Why, so he wouldn't have to pay more alimony?

- Mrs. Henkel, unless you can help us out here,

we won't be able to find your kidnappers.

- I believe I am the victim here,

and I'd really appreciate it if you would stop talking

to me like I'm withholding information.

- Agent Morriston is just trying to make sure

that you didn't forget anything, that's all.

- Well, Agent Morriston should learn some people skills.

Now, I'd like to go home

and shower this incredibly ugly incident off of me.

- I'll make sure one of our people gets you home,

and stays close by.

- Thank you. And thank you

for saving me from those creeps.

- Hey.

I know you think you're some kinda hero now,

but coming here alone, again,

puts you, her, this whole case in jeopardy.

- I didn't know what was going on until I got in,

and she was in jeopardy.

- All right, I'll give you that,

but you should have- - Hey, ladies?

I need you working with me and with each other.

You think we can do that?

Huh, huh? - Yeah.

Okay. - Fine.

I just don't think Mrs. Henkel was trying

to be uncooperative.

She's been through quite an ordeal.

I think we should follow protocol and give her some time.

- We don't have any time.

And if she doesn't know anything,

why was she kidnapped?

- That's a good question. It's part of the puzzle.

- All right, in the meantime, look,

we got to get ready for the next ransom call.

- Yeah. I'll deal with it.

She should go and stay home,

leave the action to professionals?

- She's not wrong.

[birds chirping]

- He's your friend's son,

why can't you take him to the mall?

- I'm sorry, I didn't think

it was gonna be such an imposition.

I thought it would be a nice thing to do.

- Yeah, well, why don't you try being nice to me?

Nobody ever takes that into consideration.

- Uh-oh, the Queen of Hearts is upset.

- Not now, Nick.

- I'm supposed to meet Phil at the mall tonight.

What's it gonna look like if I show up with another guy?

- It's gonna look like you're the most

popular girl in school.

- It's not funny, Dad.

- Hi. I'm home.

- Hi, honey. Talk to your daughter, please.

- Will you talk to him? He's being completely unreasonable.

- Really- - He's insisting

that I bring Brent to the mall to meet the gang tonight.

- Actually, I didn't insist on anything.

I thought it would be nice if Brent could meet

some of the kids at school in a social situation.

- Mm-hm. - It's gonna completely ruin

my social situation.

Gosh, Mom, I can't believe...

How can you guys do this to me? - Honey.

- [Susan] I can't believe this.

- Well, my wife manages to juggle a career and a family.

Sometimes, I don't know how she does it.

- Well, I'm no different than any other working mom.

- What are you working on?

- Actually, something was stolen from my company,

so I'm trying to solve this complicated puzzle

to get it back, and it's a game.

[Jane chuckles] - And she's teaching Susan

how to cook brownies.

[kick thuds] Ow!

[Jack laughs] [Norman laughs]

- [Jane] Oh, Susan, honey,

why don't you take Brent to the mall?

- Oh, that's a great idea. - That's be cool.

- [Nick] Yeah, that would be a great idea.

- Okay.

- [Norman] Try and have him back by a decent hour, okay?

- Bye, honey.

Don't be out too late though.

- Have fun. - See you, Dad.

- Bye, honey. [cellphone chimes]

- [Norman] Jack, we're on next Saturday for golf?

- [Jack] Okay.

[people chattering]

- [Frank] Hey.

- Hey. You know, I was throwing a dinner party.

- I know. I need to talk to you privately.

- Not in your office?

- It's about Fran Henkel.

- Oh, you don't want to upset Helen.

You know, she told me to go home.

- I know. Look, Helen can be a little intense, okay?

She didn't make a very good impression on Mrs. Henkel.

Mrs. Henkel wants to talk to you.

Let's come down this way.

- So let me guess.

You already made the appointment, didn't tell me.

- Hey, don't you trust me at all?

- Actually, I don't, Frank.

- Got to cover every angle.

That's the smart thing to do.

- Well, so do I have Helen's second-guessing

to look forward to?

- No. No, you're on your own.

Mrs. Henkel trusts you.

You saved her, so she'll open up to you.

- Frank, I...

- Hi.

- Hi.

Working late too?

- No, not really, actually.

- We just bumped into each other.

I was just filling her in on some things we're doing.

You know, just kinda keeping her up-to-date.

- How convenient.

- Actually, it's not, so I guess I'll just go home.

- Cabernet or Merlot?

- Honey?

Why are you sitting down here all alone in the dark?

- I'm so stupid.

I actually thought that Brent was a nice guy.

- Well, what happened?

[Susan exhales]

- The guys were talking at the mall,

and they told me that Brent was bragging

that we fooled around, and I didn't do that.

I mean, why would he say that?

- Well, are you sure he said that?

- Why would they lie?

- I don't know, honey.

Maybe they heard him wrong.

Maybe he said something else.

- Mom, everybody heard.

Phil heard.

- Did you confront Brent?

- No.

I don't want to talk to him.

Amy's dad drove me home.

- I really think you should hear

his side of the story, honey.

Oh, honey.

I'm sorry.

- I apologize for being so abrupt yesterday.

Agent Morriston really got on my nerves.

- Yeah, she's under a lot of pressure.

But once you get to know her, she's really unpleasant.

[Jane chuckles]

But, Fran, you don't have to apologize for anything

after all you've been through.

Really.

- Thanks. I appreciate it.

She doesn't like you much either, does she?

- Well, she's got her own agenda.

- Does that include Agent Darnell?

Oh, I'm perceptive.

- Sondra, we're fine.

Thanks.

- It comes from years of living with a cheating husband.

You get sensitive to all the signs.

The looks, body language.

- Yeah. I had an old boyfriend like that too, once.

- Don was a serial womanizer.

He does it because he can't actually let go

and really love somebody.

He fooled me for a long, long time.

But you have to hand it to him,

at least he made a profit womanizing.

- How did he do that?

- He used the money from his security business

to pay for condos, homes,

and they would become his little love nests.

He'd always fix them up,

but then after the affair went south,

he'd sell the house for a profit.

- How did you find out?

- He always reincorporated every time he bought a house,

under a new name, and...

I don't know why, I just asked our accountant

if I could just see the list of incorporations.

When I looked at them,

I saw that every one was the name of a woman,

but there wasn't an incorporation called Fran.

- I bet you know the last name on that list.

- Cynthia, Incorporated, a company? No.

No. No, no bells ringing.

Why? What do we want to do?

- I think real estate.

- All right. Hold on a second.

Let me get Clarence on the phone here.

Put you on speakerphone, all right?

Hold on. [button clicks]

- Yeah. Ah?

Was that the name...

Cynthia, was that like the girl's name?

- I think it's a new company.

- Yeah, looks like it.

Give me a second here.

- So, you know, it might help, Jane,

if we knew a little bit more about this company.

- All I know is it's real estate.

- One property listing, and it's in Santa Monica.

Anything else? Got some movie times for you.

[Jane chuckles]

- No.

- [Bill] So what's so special about this property?

- I don't know. I think that Donald Henkel might be there.

- Oh, that sounds like more than just a hunch.

- Wish it were.

- I'll text you the address.

- You need some help?

- [Woman] Wait for Kathy!

- [Jane] That necessary?

- What, you don't carry a gun?

- No. Don't believe in them.

Use my charm. [Bill chuckles]

[doorbell ringing]

[door knocking]

- Let's go around back.

[gun clacks]

Let's go.

[doorknob rattles]

[glass shatters]

[lock clacks]

That's Henkel.

- He's dead.

- I'll clear the house.

[Jane sighs]

House is clear.

Maybe he left the declaration here.

- I doubt it. Whoever killed him probably took it with them.

- Ah, well, looks like he was double-crossed

by one of his own people.

- Yeah. Well, I'll call Darnell for cleanup.

- All right. [cellphone beeping]

[gun firing] [glass shatters]

Get down!

Call for backup. Fast.

- Don't go out there.

[guns firing]

Frank, we're in a firefight.

1327 Georgina.

Send backup.

[tires screeching] Joyner?

Okay. - Yeah.

Yep.

[siren wails] [people chattering]

- How's he doing?

- I can't tell you right now.

We'll know more later.

- [Jane] How long is he gonna be in the hospital?

- Well, that depends.

Tell you what, I'll give you my private cell number.

You can call me for an update, hm?

- I'm so sorry this happened because of me.

- Come with me.

What the heck were you trying to do?

- Spare me the lecture, Frank.

- What's Joyner doing here?

- He was helping me.

- Could have gotten yourself killed,

you know that? - Yeah, well, he's the one

that got shot.

Look, we found Henkel's prescription in the house.

I think he was staying there.

- Okay. - And I figure he was killed

by one of his own team.

Got in too deep.

- When Henkel became a suspect, that made him a liability.

Without him in the picture, we got nothing but a blind trail.

- Yeah, for now.

[cellphone ringing]

- Answer it.

[cellphone beeps] - Hello?

- [Man] Westwood Beach in Malibu.

Public restroom marked "Out of order," but it's not.

3:00 p.m. sharp, or the deal is off.

Don't dawdle. - Game's not over.

He's not giving us very much time.

- Let's move.

Helen will have the have the drop site staked out

by the time we get there.

- Good.

[Jane sighs] [cellphone beeps]

Hello?

- [Susan] Mom?

- What's wrong, honey?

- [Susan] Mom, it was Phil.

He did it.

- Did what, baby?

- Told everyone Brent was bragging

about fooling around with me.

He made it all up because he was jealous.

- Wait a minute. Did you talk to him about this?

- Yes, and he denied it.

But Tim and George were at the mall,

and they were wondering why I was with Phil,

and they said that it was Phil

that was saying all those things,

and he wanted to make sure that I hated Brent.

Mom, Phil lied to me.

I really thought that Phil liked me, Mom.

- Well, maybe he does, honey,

but the question you have to ask yourself is,

"Can you like a guy who would

do this to you and to Brent?"

- Cath, we're almost there.

Wrap it up. Let's go.

- Frank. Just stop it. - All right.

- Mom, are you with someone?

- Yeah, I'm with one of the guys from work.

Everything is work to him, work, work, work,

but I promise you we'll have

a heart-to-heart when I get home.

I love you, baby.

- I love you too.

Bye.

[Susan sighs]

Let's go.

[waves crashing]

- Come on, Maltese.

Come on. Come on, boy.

That's a good boy.

Come on. - Put your shoes back on!

[truck rumbling]

- Here it comes.

- Here we go.

- That's ingenious.

No one will ever suspect the garbage man with a suitcase.

[people chattering]

All right.

Wow, quite an operation here, Frank.

Like we're in a spy movie.

Old times.

[Frank chuckles]

- Yeah, we got this area completely staked out.

Anybody shows, we'll see them coming or going.

That GPS, he'll lead us right to them, so we're good.

[waves crashing] [bird squawking]

- [Man] Get in the water!

- [Woman] Go and get them!

- I'm really glad you rushed me off my phone call for this.

Little late, huh?

[car rumbling]

Think he's our boy?

- Looks that way.

- [Man] Just watch out for the undertow!

[device beeping]

[computer beeping] [people chattering]

- I've got a good signal on Westwood Beach in Malibu.

I'll stay on the line.

[door thuds]

- [Man] Hey, it's too cold!

- [Jane] There it is.

- [Man] My wetsuit!

- In there?

- No. [Jane groans]

- What is this?

[Jane sighs]

- It's a list of addresses with no names.

- What's their game? [Jane sighs]

- I don't know, it's a puzzle we have to solve

in order to find the declaration, like a scavenger hunt?

- No, they're playing with us.

- Yeah, well, meanwhile, these creeps are getting away.

- They're not getting away if I tell my people

to grab the guy with the ransom.

- Wait a minute. He's not the brains behind this operation.

You nab him before we find the declaration,

we'll never see it again.

- Okay, we keep the GPS on him

till we find the document.

Helen, where's our boy?

- I've got movement. He's heading south on PCH.

- Copy that. Stay with him.

All right.

What's the first address on the list?

- Stuart Ranch Road.

- All right. Let's go.

All right, there's nothing here but a bank.

What's next on the list?

- 224 Sullivan Street?

- [Man] Just around the corner, honey!

- All right, chiropractic center.

This makes no sense.

This is crazy.

We're driving around in circles, we got a list of addresses,

and we don't even know what we're doing.

I'm pulling over.

- Okay.

- 6126 Baker. [computer beeping]

That's Lincoln Office Supply.

- Okay, here's the last one.

912 Dibble Way.

[computer beeping]

- Bush Tool and Tile.

- Please tell us something good, Frank.

- Helen, we're working on it.

We're trying to make sense out of this list.

Listen, what's going with our bad guy in the Saab?

- He's heading north on the 405,

but he's only doing 40 miles an hour.

- He's just making sure he's not being tailed.

Keep me informed.

Okay, Miss Doe, now's a good time for some input.

- All right, Washington Chiropractic, Lincoln Office Supply,

Cleveland Savings and Trust, The Nixon Library.

Wait a minute. There's a name that stands out here.

- What's the word?

- One more stop.

[tires screeching]

- What makes you so sure it's here?

- The whole thing started in a bank.

What's in a bank?

- I don't know. Money? - Yeah. Well, who's the first

secretary of the treasury?

- Surprise me.

- Alexander Hamilton.

- When was he president?

- Well, that's the trick.

He's the only one on the list who wasn't.

It's like one of those tests, what doesn't fit?

- Excuse me, sir. CSA.

We need your help.

- [Jane] Where's the history room?

- This way.

[switch clicks]

- Thank you very much.

[Jane sighs]

I don't get it.

[gentle orchestral music]

- "We hold these truths to be self-evident

that all men are created equal."

- Helen, we got it.

- [Jane] Wow. That was an ingenious plan.

Too bad he's one of the bad guys.

- Helen, where's the ransom money?

- [Helen] I've got our man traveling east on Topanga Canyon.

- We've got the declaration...

- Let's get the money.

[Jane chuckles]

[helicopter whirring]

[helicopter whirring]

- There he is!

[tires screeching]

[helicopter whirring]

[tires screeching]

[helicopter whirring]

[tires screeching]

Pull up alongside of him.

[tires screeching]

- He won't let me.

He's not gonna let it.

- Whoa, whoa.

[tires screeching] [horn wails]

[tires screeching]

- [Frank] Exit the vehicle. Hands over your head, now!

Right now!

- Okay. Oh, easy with the gun, man.

Easy with the gun.

- Hands behind your head! Turn left into the car!

Now. Do it.

Into the car!

- [Officer] Okay, we're good.

- [Man] Hey, hey.

Hey.

Hey, what is going on here, man?

What's wrong?

- [Jane] This is what's wrong.

- Hey, look, what is going on here, man?

Who are you people?

- CSA.

Who hired you to pick up the suitcase?

- I just met some guy at the Unemployment Office,

he offers me a thousand bucks

to go to some address and pick up some big case

and just drive around town all day

and wait to be contacted by some cellphone.

- You didn't find that kinda odd?

- I've been unemployed for six months,

and if some guy offers me a thousand bucks

to drive around LA all day, I didn't question it.

[helicopter whirring] But I think I need a lawyer.

- I don't know, maybe he's telling the truth.

- You're kidding, right?

He's got the ransom money.

You expect someone to hire a total stranger

to pick up $6 million?

- Maybe he didn't know what he was carrying.

- Should have seen his face

when we opened up that case of money.

- All right, duly noted, but as soon as we get him to talk,

we'll round up the others.

You've been a real help.

- Frank, something doesn't feel right.

- What are you thinking?

- Why would he drive around with the ransom money

for half a day in Los Angeles?

- Maybe he's making sure he wasn't being tailed.

- That's what I thought at first,

but he wasn't driving like he

was trying to shake a tail.

He was driving like he was

trying to keep us occupied.

- Maybe that's part of the puzzle.

[Jane sighs]

- Murder, kidnapping.

Now, we end up with a ransom and the declaration?

It just doesn't make any sense.

[birds chirping]

- [Nick] So is this the game you're designing?

- Sort of.

- Neat.

- Look, honey, could you blow

this picture up and make it bigger?

- Easy. Watch.

Don't feel bad.

Anyone born before 1990

doesn't really know anything about computers.

- Yeah.

Oh, wait.

See that clock on the wall?

- Yeah. It says 4:30.

- Could you blow this up even bigger

and play that sequence again?

- No problem. [keyboard clacking]

[laptop beeps]

- You're a genius.

Love you. Hey, check this out.

[keyboard clacking]

What do you mean he didn't check into the hospital?

- The wound was superficial.

I fixed him up in no time flat.

The powder burns did more damage than the bullet.

- The powder burns?

- [Man] Go down a block or two, you'll see it on the left!

- Marco, don't be sitting there waiting around.

Time now.

Check your watch every five minutes,

because when I come out,

I need you to take care of this stuff.

When I bring the money out,

we'll get in these cars and we'll take off.

See you.

- [Man] The lot's full.

- [Man] Hey, Bobby!

You coming?!

- [Man] Go ahead. Move it.

[people chattering]

Stand back, right over there.

Yeah.

- Ready? - Uh-huh.

- [Man] Hold up, hold up.

Pick it up.

[man grunting]

Right there, right there.

Can you get it?

Here.

- I got it. - Take two in.

- [Man] Zip it up.

- [Man] Here we go.

[man grunting]

- Got it. [cellphone beeping]

- Here you are. [cellphone rings]

- [Frank] This is Frank Darnell.

Leave your number at the beep.

Thank you very much.

- Frank.

Frank.

I could use some backup, now.

- Hey! [Jane gasps]

That's enough!

- [Man] You got that?!

- Find that Declaration of Independence?

Did you bring it back properly?

Darnell was right, you are good.

- Not good enough.

- Unfortunately, he forgot the last piece.

Bet you wish you had a gun now, don't you?

What are you looking at?!

Get back to work! We don't have all day!

Let's go! - Hey, get back to work!

You heard the man.

- Oh. - Get the money over there.

- You're doing what you did

with the Declaration.

You're replacing the real money

with counterfeit.

That's good.

It'll be weeks before they find out.

By then, you'll be long gone.

- Come on, let's go.

- It never was about the declaration, was it?

It was about creating a diversion

to keep the CSA running around town all weekend,

chasing their tails so you could rob

this bank in peace, right?

- You got me.

Unfortunately, you're taking it to the grave.

Move, now.

- That was an interesting move,

having your guy shoot at me in that warehouse.

Trying to scare me off didn't quite work, did it?

Yeah, and kidnapping and murder?

Not necessary.

- Yeah, the Henkels.

You saved the missus.

I would have killed her.

You know, it's too bad we didn't...

We would have made a great team.

Move, now!

Let's go. - What you doing?

Why are you taking so slow?

Move that there and move it over there.

- True, but I only work for the good guys.

- Yeah, the government.

- [Man] What's the problem, Johnny?

- Clarence, get ready to switch the security cameras

back to live feed and lock up, on my call.

- So Clarence is your electronics genius.

He's the one that designed the plasma screen mock-up

and the dummy encasement, right?

- He's a very talented guy.

- Oh, yeah. - Come on, come on, come on,

come on, come on, come on. - Wait.

- Faster. - Wait, wait, wait.

I just want to ask you one more thing.

- You're stalling me, aren't you?

Oh, I expected more out of you than that.

I'm gonna give you this minute. You know why?

'Cause it's gonna be your last anyway,

so come on, give it to me, Professor.

- All right.

A couple of days before the actual declaration arrived,

Henkel set up his display case as planned.

He never realized he was gonna become the fall guy

in your elaborate scheme.

Meanwhile, your electronics and computer genius Clarence

was putting the finishing touches

on his ingenious plasma screen mock-up

of the Declaration of Independence.

At about 4:30 in the morning on Saturday,

Clarence put his plasma mock-up of the declaration in place.

And then he videoed what appeared to be

about two minutes of the declaration in place.

- Okay, roll it.

[camera whirs]

[camera whirs]

Okay, cut it.

- On Sunday, the real declaration was delivered

when Dr. Arguff and a host of dignitaries,

including the mayor and yourself,

watched it being placed and secured in the display case.

Photographers even recorded the event.

And then, on Monday at exactly 4:30 in the morning,

Clarence switched the real declaration with the fake one.

For three days, everyone thought they were looking

at the real Declaration of Independence.

No one would have discovered the real declaration was gone

until it was finally removed

to be sent to the next stop on the tour next month.

But you switched off the plasma image after only three days

because you wanted the theft to be discovered,

'cause it was never about the declaration.

While everyone was busy running all over LA,

concentrating on finding the declaration,

you were gonna be able to rob

the bank completely unhindered.

When the security video was reviewed,

it appeared as if no switch had been made.

- Yeah. Go on.

- You know what the problem was though?

- Pray tell.

- The clock.

When I viewed the security video for the 50th time,

I finally saw something.

The time on the clock seemed uninterrupted

until I enlarged the picture

and then the second hand skipped back 20 seconds.

You didn't count on that, did you?

- No, I didn't.

Good for you.

- Yeah.

The plasma screen mock-up was a brilliant move on your part.

Not only did it appear that the declaration was in place,

but when it was finally discovered,

it made Henkel look like he was responsible

for the ransom demand, hm?

- It worked. - Yeah. Yeah.

And attaching yourself to me

so you'd always stay one step ahead of us?

That was good.

Shooting yourself for my benefit...

- Guilty as charged.

- But the part I don't understand is why you weren't content

with the 20 million -dollar ransom.

- Oh, oh, see, this is where it really gets good.

Let me show you something here.

See, what you don't understand

is that this branch of the bank

doles out all the money for the other branches,

so the 20 million-dollar ransom was chicken feed

compared to the 200 million that we're taking.

- We're good to go.

- Close the vault door.

- The door. Come on, let's go.

[vault door creaking]

[vault door thuds]

- Clarence, we're out of here in 45 seconds.

I really enjoyed our little talk.

Let's go for a ride.

[Bill groaning]

- Hey, hey! - Whoa, whoa!

[gun fires]

- Let's see your hands! - Hands in the air right now!

Drop the weapons!

[officers shouting]

- Drop it! - Hands! Let me see your hands!

- Keep them up! - Now!

- [Officer] Drop it!

- [Officer] All right.

Hold what you got.

- [Officer] Hold it right there.

- You all right? - Yeah. There's another guy in the security room.

- It's all right. We got him already.

- Okay.

Well, what took you so long?

- [Officer] Hands up. Hey!

[siren wailing] [people chattering]

- [Officer] Sorry, folks, can't tell you anything now.

Just stay back. - Over to the other side.

- I thought you were the one that was supposed

to solve puzzles and let me catch the bad guys.

- Well, you did. Thanks for saving me back there.

- It was smart. Kept them busy.

Good.

- Frank!

I got here as soon as I could.

What's happening here?

- We have Joyner's full confession

on your answering machine.

- What?

Frank, I need to speak with you.

Come on, I need to be kept on top of this.

We can't let her take credit for this operation.

- The circus is here.

They're all yours.

- I'm Carmen Fayos from 6 News LA.

Can you tell us what happened

here today? - Yes, yes.

Hi.

This operation was conducted with the coordination

and the cooperation of several government agencies,

federal, city, and county.

I can say that with the efforts of members

of the Central Security Agency, the FBI,

LAPD and its SWAT teams, and LA County Sheriff's...

- Hi, guys.

- Hey, honey.

- Hey, Mom, look what happened downtown today.

Some guys tried to rob a bank,

and this lady, a fed or a cop or something,

nailed them trying to do it.

- No kidding.

- How was your day?

- Kind of exciting.

- Come on, Mom.

How exciting can it be,

sitting around all day solving game puzzles?

- Well, you'd be surprised.

Where's Susan?

- She and Brent went to the burger joint.

- Oh. So Phil's history.

- Ancient history.

- Huh.

[Jane sighs]

I guess I better start dinner.

- Honey?

Have a seat.

- Thank you, Mr. Davis.

- You're welcome, Mrs. Davis.

Waiter?

[Jane chuckles]

- You prepared everything?

- Especially dessert.

It'll be served later.

- I can't wait.

Mm.

[Jane chuckles]
