- We'll take your questions now.

Mr. President. - President John,

congratulations on your university being the first

to implement this groundbreaking technology.

- Thank you. It's quite an honor.

- Obviously there is a lot of excitement

to be able to spearhead microchip implementation

in brains of convicted felons to help them reform,

but what are your concerns, sir?

- Are you concerned about the safety?

- How many convicted felons would be walking around?

Would they be former murderers or petty thieves?

- Uh, President, I, I humbly to the public-

- One at a time, please. One at a time.

First of all,

it's an incredible honor to have the trust

of the US government to implement the microchip technology

developed by Dean Pointdexter and Barry Bryant

and their teams right here

in our Wonder Georgia University lab.

- Has it been tested? Is it safe?

- The safety of our campus comes first.

We have all precautions in place

to ensure that this undertaking is successful

and to ensure the reforms

of society's most dangerous convicts.

- Yes.

And I assure you that all safety measures

have been put in place as well as implemented.

We have everything under control.

- Yes. Our test human is completely under our care, 24/7.

If the microchip were to malfunction,

we have our app and drone technology on him the entire time.

So if there's any issues, we're far ahead of that.

Our main concern, the students and our citizens.

- Uh, Barry, you mentioned a test human.

Who is that test human? Can you give us a name?

- [Reporter 1] Is he from a local prison?

- We have to keep that confidential.

- Yes, we keep that confidential

for the safety of our community as well as our convict.

You do understand.

- Thank you, Professor.

Listen, what you really need to be focused on

is the benefit to everyone.

We are now one step closer

to saving our government's millions of dollars

that they can invest in healthcare and education.

- President John, how dangerous is this procedure?

(Pointdexter stutters) - Excuse me.

Uh, like we mentioned,

there's nothing to be concerned about.

In fact, it's less dangerous than your breast surgery,

but with less infection and toxicity.

Okay?

Any more questions? - [Reporters] No.

- [Reporter 2] That is rude.

- Okay, number 1816236, when I say a word,

you say the first word that pops into your head.

- Okay, Doc. Actually, can I have a blanket?

I feel more secure with a fuzzy warm blanket.

- [Doctor Kreplach] Is this good?

- Excellent. Thank you. Okay.

- Bunny. - Hmm.

Fluffy ball of fur to cuddle

and squeeze till its bones crack.

- Just one word will suffice. - [Robert] Oh, right.

- Better. Child.

- Freeloader.

- Okay, let me see. Men.

- Kidnap and duct tape Barry Bryant to his drone,

and then program it to drop him in the river.

- One word answers. Christmas.

- Kidnap and beat Barry Bryant with a giant candy cane.

He ruined my life and I will get even.

I'm gonna twist this head off and squash it like a bug.

- That's a long word for one word, isn't it?

- You know, we were the glue

that kept the convict microchip R&D project together

in the first place.

- Exactly. I mean, it was a great team effort.

Barry knows our value. - He does.

- Even if Dean Pointdexter refuses to acknowledge

that they couldn't have done it without us.

- Yeah.

I just hope they're gonna ask us to work on implementation.

- Of course they're gonna bring you back.

I mean, you caught that microchip glitch.

- Yes. And you were the best researcher by far.

Our real challenge is gonna be Dean Ding Dong.

- You mean Pointdexter? - Oh, what did I say?

- [Barry] Knock knock.

- [Sue] Hey, Barry. - [Barry] Hey, baby.

- Hi, Barry. - Hey, Linda. How are you?

- Good.

- Uh, so how was the conference?

- Well, I think it went good.

I think we need to wait to see what the news says,

and then I'll tell you.

- I'm sure it went great. Congratulations, Barry.

- Thanks. Thank you both.

'Cause I think you were both so instrumental in this.

If, if you weren't,

I don't know if it would've even gotten done at all.

So thank you. I think we all make a great team.

- We do. - Absolutely.

Three musketeers, right?

All right. I better go. Work, work, work.

Oh, and work. (all laughing)

- Uh, lunch tomorrow?

- Yes. I look forward to it, Sue. Congrats again, Barry.

- Take care. Congrats to us. - [Linda] Yeah.

- Hey, baby. - [Sue] What's up?

- Baby, how are you?

Now here's the bad news.

- What is it?

- Dean Pointdexter thinks it's a good idea

that we head the annual faculty and family Halloween party.

- You're joking, right? - No. I wish.

- And why us?

- He thinks it's good politics for the university.

- 'Course.

He would come up with something like that, wouldn't he?

- I'm sorry. I know you're tired.

- I mean, you more than me.

(cellphone ringing)

The sacrifices we make for success though, right?

- Speak of the devil.

Dean Pointdexter. Yes.

She's fine.

Well, no, it was fine. I think, think it was great.

Let's watch the news.

Yeah. Okay. I'll tell her.

All right. Okay. Thank you. No, thank you.

We're honored. Bye. - What did he say?

- He said that his assistant will be calling you

about the Halloween party.

- Me? - Babe, I'm sorry.

- Super.

- I know.

I didn't wanna give you things to do,

and, you know, he doesn't care.

- I know, love. Um, it'll be fine.

I'll get some help.

I mean, I may just chop off Pointdexter's head,

but, you know, that could be a perfect theme for the party.

- Yeah, it sounds real Halloween-ish of you.

- I know, doesn't it?

This is gonna be a very ghoulish party.

- Come on. We can't stoop to his level.

You know we have to be better than that, right.

On second thought, chop his head.

- Okay, chop it off. - Chop it off.

- Oh, forget all that work, work, work.

I'm gonna chop, chop, chop. (both laughing)

(upbeat music) - I'm telling you, man.

You can get outta here, see the world.

Just like I am soon.

And get chipped.

- What chip? Man, I just got out that padded suite.

Ain't nobody trying to relapse, Brother Shade.

- That new BoTech ACC brain chip.

One they made with the scientists down at WGU.

It's all over the news.

- I wanna make Barry Bryant pay,

not turn into some nice guy.

- Man, take it, break it,

then fake it like the politicians do.

- Technology Newsflash.

The FDA has approved the new BoTech ACC implant

for limited field trials.

Sources reveal that the chip may be rolled out

in a try out implantation

in a first of its kind clinical trial.

And a partnership is between BoTech

and a undisclosed university.

- Barry Bryant. I need to knock his head off.

You famous for bullshitting, man.

Matter of fact,

you the most unsuccessful con man in this whole prison,

'cause you're here.

Why would I listen to you?

Why don't you just go away, Shady Shade.

- Because I have this magic magnet

that neutralizes the chip.

- Magic magnet?

(upbeat music)

- Yeah. I keep it hidden in these hollowed words.

Get it? Hollowed.

- [Robert] Shady Shade.

- Meet my friend, my little friend, Mr. Magic Magnet.

- Ah, I knew you wasn't a believer, Brother Shady Kahn.

- Doctor, please have a seat.

- [Doctor Kreplach] Thank you, Commissioner.

- So what brings you here today?

- I have very deep concerns about inmate number 1816236.

- Ah, yes. Good old Robert Kewaas.

- Yes. Good, Commissioner. Mr. Kewaas, number 1816236.

I have been working with him for many years now

and I figure there is almost no,

absolutely no progress for reform.

- I know what you mean.

This guy Kewaas, he's totally hopeless.

And you know another thing,

he's a bad influence on the other inmates.

You know, I had him in solitary confinement

a few times this week,

and in the last month over a dozen times.

That's almost unheard of.

- His thoughts are all very violent.

I'm not surprised that he axed on them.

- Oh, yeah, I'll be back. Yeah. Right around Halloween.

Trick or treat, Barry Bryant.

- He clearly has some deep rooted issues.

A waste of good tax dollars, I'm sure.

I have an idea. Don't do that.

- What? - Biting your nails

is a common habit

and a sign of terrible addictive personality.

- Addictive personality? What are you talking about?

- As I was saying,

in trying to better understand number 18,

et cetera, et cetera's anger,

I decided to meet with the man he tried to kill,

Barry Bryant,

hoping to understand him better.

- Listen, Doc, this guy, Kewaas,

he just needs to be locked up.

There's no hope for reform with this guy.

- Lock him up and throw away the volt.

Very, very unorthodox.

- Will you just get to the point?

- I thought that if I understood him better,

I might just be able

to help number 18, et cetera, et cetera a smidge.

What I learned from Barry Bryant was amazing.

Barry Bryant's latest invention is a micro chip.

- Can we please just get to the point, Doc?

- He told me all about this microchip,

a super piece of technology

from the wonderful Wonder Georgia University.

- And?

- You put the microchip into the brain,

with zip zap the person is reformed.

All better. It is ingenious.

- That's incredible.

So you could take a bad guy

and turn him into a good guy through technology.

Maybe V, we, could take that chip

and put it into some of my corrupt correction officers.

- Indeed. Exactly. But first the guys who were locked up.

You know what I think? - What?

- I think we take your worst inmate,

which is number 18, et cetera, et cetera, right?

- Okay. I mean, look, you know, he's definitely a bad-

We got some bad eggs here. Okay?

But, Kewaas, by far the worst.

- Implant the microchip into his mess of a brain,

and zippity zap, we have a new man, a gentleman.

You agree? - Yeah.

Long as we don't turn him into a Frankenstein monster.

- Oh, Dr. Frankenstein in blessed memory was my good friend.

Anyhow, Barry Bryant says he has been approved

for human trials and would be more than happy to help us,

especially since he knows number 18,

et cetera, et cetera personally.

- By all means. Good for me. One less prisoner.

Only thing is we gotta kinda run this by Kewaas.

So tell you what,

why don't you talk to him today

and see if you can get him to sign off.

- Thank you, Commissioner. You won't regret this.

Oh, and stop biting your nails. It is a sign of insanity.

- Doc, I assure you, I am not insane.

And I don't appreciate you diagnosing my nuances.

- Okay, we'll get back to that later.

- No, no, no. I'm good. Good.

- So I'm not looking at the pile of nails right now?

- Years ago it was different.

- [Shade] Look, you keep my secret, I keep yours.

Just get the BoTech ACC implant, because I have this magnet.

- How'd you get that in here past Commission Nailbiter?

- Don't worry about that. We'll make the chip malfunction.

It'll make it,

it'll, it'll make a crosstalk at the silicone level.

Like the, like the M11 Steve Jobs model that was flawed.

- All right. All right. I'm in. On your life.

- Brother Kiki. - It's Kewaas.

Stop calling me Brother Kiki.

- Okay, Kewaas. Kewaas.

Look, before you leave and after your operation,

I'll hook you up with a mag.

- Magic magnet is the key, huh?

- Yeah, it's the key to jail-breaking the chip, man.

Trust me.

- I still hate that Barry is involved with the chip R&D,

but I really wanna knock his head off,

so I'll fake it till you break it for me, Shady.

- The magnetic shielding is foolproof.

- Listen, please, don't be overconfident, Dean Pointdexter.

Listen, this is still too untested

for us to just throw it away like that.

I mean, the, the only thing that we need to do

is take extra precautions.

- Are you listening to me? - Yes, I'm listen-

- It's very simple. The microchip goes beneath the scalp.

Not on the forehead. It's unbreakable.

- Nothing is unbreakable, Dean.

Not even something that I created.

Listen. Can you just listen to me?

I understand that you'll have someone on him 24/7.

However, you remember they used to jailbreak the iPhone.

(Pointdexter stutters)

And we need to make sure that the helmet is on him

at least for several weeks, Dean.

We got to protect the security of this.

(Barry stutters)

- Barry, relax. Relax. - Come on, I am relaxed!

- Oh, this is your relaxed?

Then breathe. Breathe. Okay?

He's gonna wear the helmet. Listen to me. Listen to me.

- Yes?

- I promise you he will wear the helmet.

Okay? You should be excited.

You, you, you're uptight.

- Okay. Okay. - There you go.

There you go. We're about to change the world here.

- I, I, I understand. I'm just, I'm just a little un-

- Okay, li-listen to me.

As long as your AI chip set whistles like a little birdie,

our Faraday helmet will make sure

that the bird stays in the cage.

- Okay. Yes, Dean. Please, please.

- Watch out now. Slow down.

- Okay, Dean. But listen. Thank you for your confidence.

- [Pointdexter] Okay. So you good?

- I understand why the students

call you On Point Pointdexter.

- [Pointdexter] Really? - Yeah.

- That's why they call me at? Oh, wow.

Yeah, it's true. But you do know why, right?

- No, Dean. Why?

- Work, work, work, work, work, work, work.

So how's the Halloween party coming?

- Oh, we're work, work, work, working on it.

- Ah, I like that. Yeah.

I bet Sue's excited to be working on the project.

- Oh, she's delighted. - Mm-hmm.

- We're so excited to be-

You know, what an honor

to be working on the annual faculty Halloween party

at a time like this.

Thank you. - Oh, it's my pleasure.

And I would love to get you and Sue working more closely

with the university.

- Oh. Really? - Yeah. Yes.

- Thanks. - I also think, uh,

that Linda should be involved as well.

- So now you want me to involve Linda

in the Halloween party?

- Uh, yeah.

- Okay. I'll, I'll work on that too, Dean.

- Okay, great. - Okay. Listen, I do need to-

- I'm done. I'm done, Barry. Thank you.

- Thank you.

- And Barry. - [Barry] Yes?

- Please don't wear that sweater ever again. Ugly.

- [Barry] Thank you, Dean.

- Let's start it by working on the faking part, all right?

College applications.

Now, look, you go to WGU.

Become the fake man on campus. Fake new man on campus. Okay?

Now, sneak off campus. Get even with Barry Bryant.

Nobody'll know. I'll help you. All right?

- Lemme ask you this.

Are there any side effects to jail-breaking this chip?

- Eh, nah.

Well, short term memory loss, but, uh, you know,

I'll help you with that.

I'll take care. I got, I got you.

- Cool. You know where I keep my stash at, right?

- Oh, yeah. - Hey.

Don't get on my hit list. Keep it real.

- I'll protect your stuff, man. I'm a good guy. (laughs)

- Oh, dang.

- [Myer] What's up? - Here, read it.

Looks like we're getting a frat brother.

- What?

(ominous music)

- You wanted to see me, Dean Pointdexter?

- Well, Barry, so I have decided on our implementation team.

- Great. Who do we got?

- Well, first, you and I, of course.

- [Barry] Of course.

- And, uh, what's the psychiatrist's name?

- Professor Kreplach. - Yes. Yes.

And I also was thinking of Assistant Professor John Fuchs,

Assistant Professor Them, Assistant Professor Young,

and Assistant Professor Shipoff.

- With all due respect, Dean,

neither of them were around

in the development phase of this project.

- It's fine. It's fine. It's fine.

This is a whole entirely new phase, Barry.

And besides, these guys are quick learners.

- Are they, Dean?

- Yes. Yes, they are.

Plus, they need a push for tenure,

and this project will help 'em out.

- But what about Sue and Linda?

I mean, I mean,

they've been their offices since the beginning,

and they also need a push for tenure.

- They have the Halloween party. You can't use them.

They're gonna be distracted.

- The Halloween party, Dean?

- Yes. It's a lot of work, Barry.

- With all due respect,

I mean, none of them are around

in the beginning of this project.

I mean, we need somebody in this that, that,

that understands the inter- - I understand.

And that's why I have decided

to let them bring the others up to speed.

But they're just not right

for this particular phase of the project.

- No, I'm sorry, I, I just don't agree with you.

- Ooh, you don't agree?

Well, that's why you're not making the decisions.

I am. They're not right for this particular phase, Barry.

- You know what? As a matter of fact, Dean,

it just hit me. (cellphone ringing)

I totally understand what you're saying.

- That's what, why did it take you so-

Uh, Pointdexter?

Yes. Great. Great.

Our reformed prisoner has just arrived on campus.

- You have to be kidding me.

- He's in the lab OR. - [Barry] Let's get over here.

- Let's change the world, Barry.

- Let's go, come on. - Change it. Let's go, go, go.

- [Barry] Okay.

- Hey, Robert. Good luck. I have zero hope for you.

- You are such a piece of sh-

- All right. All right, Robert.

Commissioner, that is not nice.

- Call me anytime.

We got plenty of space for you.

- See you never, Commission Nailbiter.

- [Commissioner] Sounds good, new man.

- What a jerk. What a jerk.

Believe that guy.

(tense music)

(machines beeping)

(tools buzzing)

(tense music)

(tools buzzing) (machines beeping)

(tense music)

(helmet beeps)

- How are you feeling, Robert?

- I feel absolutely phenomenal.

How about you, doctor?

- Wunderbar. That it's great to hear.

Your concussion is healing

and you are ready to stop a new life

of goodness and success.

- I don't remember getting a concussion.

- Oh, don't you worry about that.

Listen to me. You have a very important job.

You are to wear the helmet that is on your head

until your first checkup in six weeks.

Eat, sleep, breathe, everything in that helmet.

It is for your own safety. Is that understood?

- Yes, Doctor.

- Under no circumstances do you remove the helmet

without my say so,

or your brains will fall out.

- Understood, Doctor. Don't you worry at all.

- Oh, I worry at all.

I worry, I worry, I worry, but I trust you'll be a good boy.

- For you, Doctor, I will.

- A gentleman.

- Hello, my darling. - Hey, Barry.

How was your day?

- Not bad.

Test human came outta surgery.

And you do know it's the infamous Kewaas.

- Wait, you're joking, right?

You mean Kewaas, Robert Kewaas,

the former CEO of BoTech who tried to kill you?

- Yeah. But he's a completely changed man.

- Wow. Really? - Yeah.

Get this, he speaks like a character

from a 19th century novel.

No vulgarity, nothing. I was surprised.

- Robert Kewaas?

- He was. But here's the bad news.

Pointdexter created his implementation team,

and neither you nor Linda are on it.

- And why am I not surprised?

- 'Cause this university is disrespectful

and it needs some changes.

- Yeah. And they can start by firing Pointdexter.

- He's a powerful man,

and he just been around for a long time.

- Kewaas doesn't know that you have a son on campus,

does he? - Of course he doesn't.

No. So don't worry.

- Okay, then maybe I'll just worry a little bit.

- Just a little bit.

- [John] Lemme take you bag.

- Thank you. - Sure.

Robert, you're gonna love it here.

You have the opportunity to take some great courses

while staying the mix with the fine men

of the FUU fraternity.

- This is super, super phenomenal.

- Indeed. - You know, President John,

I've always wanted to be a part of a fraternity

ever since I was back at, uh...

(John coughs)

- Our motto here is don't fake it, just make it.

- Well, I will do the work.

And I thank you for this golden opportunity.

Hey, I will make it.

- I know you will.

And if you need anything,

don't hesitate to stop by my office.

Remember, we're here to support you.

- Phenomenal.

- Hey, Bo. Come here.

I'd like you to meet our newest frat brother, Robert.

- [Bo] Nice to meet you, Robert.

- [Robert] Bo, great to meet you, man, so much.

- See y'all soon. Good to meet you, Robert.

- What a good guy he is.

- So, uh, Robert, where are you from?

- Me? Uh, originally, I'm from New York City.

- Cool. And I hear you did a lot of tech work.

- Yeah. I was actually the CEO of a tech company.

- CEO? What the hell are you doing here?

- I believe they call it, uh, rebranding.

I'm studying Elizabethan lit now.

- That's quite a shift.

- Yeah, I wanted to get a chance to study things

that I'd never had a chance to study before.

But what about you? What are you studying?

- I'm in forensics.

- Whoa. That sounds interesting.

- Yeah, uh, next summer I'll be interning with the FBI

in their forensics department.

- Wow.

- So, Robert, I'm, I'm sorry, I gotta ask,

what's with the "Back to the Future" helmet?

- Oh, I've got a concussion a few weeks ago.

I've gotta wear this thing.

- Hmm? I didn't know you guys wear a helmet for concussions.

- Yeah, me neither. - It's temporary.

I'll wear it for a little while

and then I can get rid of it.

- [Myer] If I gotta be honest, it looks idiotic.

- Myer, you're idiotic.

- I'm sure it's very peculiar and odd looking,

but gotta follow the doctor's orders.

- Ah, let me put you outta here misery and get it off.

- S-s-stop. Concussion, remember?

- Yeah. I've gotta keep it on, Myer, but thank you.

He's just trying to help.

It was a rather violent hit to the head. I think.

- Well, here we are, Robert.

It, it's not much,

but it's got a pretty sick view of the courtyard.

- Jasper, it's stunning. This is so nice of you.

(glass shatters)

(person in foreign language)

(chip beeping)

- Oh, just so you know, Robert,

there's no, uh, tubing in this room.

- Robert, are, are you okay?

We'll get someone to clean this up ASAP, but-

- I get it. You guys are hazing me. Such fun.

We're gonna have a great time around here.

But I surmise I've got to watch my back around you two.

Carry on, gentlemen. Have a great day.

- Myer, what are you doing?

You're gonna get us all in serious trouble, man.

- Chill, Jas. I was just having some fun.

- Sweet intoxicatingly funny boys.

(helmet beeps)

- The guy's recovering from a concussion.

You coulda gotten seriously hurt.

- That was weird.

- Calm yourself, man. You are so boring.

- No hazing this guy. Do you understand me?

- Yes, I understand. No.

- What did you say? - Nothing. Nothing.

Carry on, good fellow.

- [Reporter] Women who are fighting for these rights,

and I want our young men understand this at an early age.

(telephone ringing) - Ah. Hi, Sue.

- Hi. Good morning.

- Ready to meet and do some work?

I mean, party plan.

- Hm. Our favorite job as head researchers, party planning.

- Excellent. See you in the cafeteria soon.

- [Sue] Oh, okay. - Bye.

(ominous music)

- Congratulations, team.

You have all been chosen to be part

of the implementation team

for our groundbreaking microchip program.

- [Professor 1] Okay. - [Professor 2] Yes.

- The creme de la creme. Am I right, Barry?

- Yeah, absolutely. - All right.

Now, the mission of our team is touchpoint structure

and monitoring of data

while our microchip suppresses that anger,

that, that, that, that, that, that warrior gene.

And if we are successful,

not only will we secure millions in funding

for this amazing university,

but guaranteed tenures for you all.

- [Professor 3] What is that? - Mm-hmm.

And a chair with your name on it.

And possibly a, (clears throat)

a Nobel Peace Prize.

But remember, we have to work, work, work, work, work, work,

work, work, work, work, work, okay?

- [Professor 1] Dean, Dean. - Yes, yes?

- Can we get an overview of the microchip technology,

like functionality?

I mean, I do speak on behalf of my colleagues here.

We're gonna need to get up to speed.

- Yes, of course. Of course.

Sue and Linda are on point with that,

but they're a little bit distracted at the moment,

but I'm sure if you make an appointment,

they will answer all your questions.

Okay, well, then that's it, guys.

Um, I will see everyone in my office

at 06:00 for poker, as usual. - [Professor 2] Hey, hey.

- [Professor 3] Hey, so a little poker

and a little monitoring?

- Uh, ah, ah, ah, ah, more monitoring than poker.

- [Professor 1] Right. Right, right.

- Uh, I just think that he still should be monitored 24/7.

Kewaas was a very dangerous guy in his former life.

- Barry, everything will be fine. Okay? Just relax.

- And I think it's probably a good idea

that Sue and Linda head the team with that.

- But, but we, we already discussed this.

I mean, this gotta give them a break.

The R&D phase was very demanding and, and, and, and they,

they worked really hard on it.

By the way, how is Sue doing on the Halloween party?

- I think this is gonna be

the most momentous Halloween party

that we've ever had in the history

of this university ever, ever.

- That's what I wanted to hear. See? Was that hard?

- Listen, listen. Dean Pointdexter-

- I'm done. I'm done. Done, done, done.

Okay, guys. Six o'clock. My office.

- [Professor 1] Got you. - Scotch.

- [Professor 1] Single malt.

- Barry, can I see you in my office?

(whimsical music)

(helmet zapping) (person speaking indistinctly)

(whimsical music continues)

- Yes. He's wearing the helmet.

- Good. He must wear it all the time he is awake.

If not, he will revert to his old dangerous self.

- If he takes it off,

Barry's app will pick up

a disambiguation signal immediately.

- Perfect.

We must keep his head in the cage

so that the chip doesn't have a chance of malfunctioning.

His old self was very bad boy.

- [John] I spoke to Dean Pointdexter.

He's very confident

that his team is monitoring 24/7 from the lab.

- Robert needs to find some thing

that he's passionate about,

something he can thrive on.

- I think the fraternity brothers can deliver on that.

They'll introduce him to all the activities

that we have here.

- Thank you, President John.

- You're welcome. Good day, Dr. Kreplach.

And don't you worry.

- A good day to you, President John.

(upbeat music)

- I call. - The hell?

No he just called.

(professors chat indistinctly)

- If you fold, that's all you had.

If you call, keep it in.

- Back to your places, everyone.

Full out this time. More emotion.

And, Macbeth, you are on a killing spree,

not in a Mary Poppins show.

Let's go, people.

- People will have beef. Beef gives off greenhouse gas.

Now people must move in electric cars.

So grass can be eaten by cows,

and cows eaten by people with beef.

- A line. - Stop.

This is awful.

Lady Macbeth, you have the script in your hand.

So why are you calling for line?

- Oh, right.

- This is modern madness.

I need sophistication.

Pizzazz with a, with a flare of the deviant.

Not this garbage.

Macbeth, who's your understudy?

- U-understudy?

You said I was so good that I didn't need one.

- Please, exit stage left. Now.

Lady Disaster, you too.

Please leave via the vomitorium.

- Huh? - The exit. Go.

Ugh. God, I need to think. Everyone take a minute.

I need to think.

Witches, to your place. Go.

- I come, Graymalkin.

- Paddock call. - Anon.

- [Together] Fair is foul and foul is fair.

Hover through the fog and filthy air.

(witches laugh)

- Okay. More traditional.

That's it. That is good. Myer.

Get the understudies for Macbeth

and Lady Macbeth here tomorrow.

- You said there were no understudies.

- Get me the understudies.

- Right. The understudies.

- That is it for today. I have a headache.

I shall say good day until it be morrow.

(calm music)

- [Nikky] Um, what dost bother you? Jess.

- Dost bother? Are you okay, Nik?

- Yes. What happened?

- Three weeks until opening night

and we no longer have a Macbeth or a Lady Macbeth.

- Wait, why? I thought rehearsals were going great.

- So did we. But Mr. Honey's a crazy nut head.

He dismissed our leads today,

three weeks before opening night.

Can you believe that? - Ooh.

Okay. Well, here, have some fudge.

My grandmother said if you eat something sweet,

it'll make you feel better.

- They really weren't that bad.

- Jess, they were bad. They were a hot mess.

- Well, "All things without remedy

should be without regard.

What's done is done."

- How do you know that?

- Um, I was Lady Macbeth in high school.

Okay. No, no, no, no, no.

That was the first and last time that I was on stage.

- Come on, Nikky. Mr. Honey will love you.

And most importantly, we need you.

Saul wrote the Macbeth musical all by himself.

And this is gonna be the premiere.

- Mm-mm. - [Jessica] Please, Nikky.

- [Friends] Please.

- Oh, parting in such sweet sorry.

- That does it.

- Hello.

- [Mr. Honey] President John. - Mr. Honey.

- [Mr. Honey] I need an immediate replacement for Macbeth.

- I see. - [Mr. Honey] It was tragic.

My lead- - Please, please calm down.

- [Mr. Honey] Have a few more weeks.

- Okay. I have an idea.

- [Mr. Honey] Thank you. Thank you.

You are a miracle worker.

(Myer knocks)

- [Myer] Yo. - Oh, Myer.

- What's up?

Uh, so we gotta go to the theater and this is for you.

- Shady Shade. No idea who that could be.

Probably junk mail. So why do we need to go to the theater?

- President John wants to see you.

- Oh. Well, I do love the theater.

Any idea what's playing?

- I have a feeling, you. I'm just kidding.

Um, Halloween "Macbeth."

- Oh, "Double, double toil and trouble."

- Yeah. Our frat brother Saul

actually wrote the whole thing.

- Phenomenal. - Yeah. Phenomenal.

All right, let's go.

Don't wanna keep the president waiting.

(upbeat music)

- [Radio Reporter] A sentence that seems to drift.

And what we're left with now is the kind of (indistinct)

that nothing can be done and the decline is inevitable.

We're, we're facing a technological revolution.

It really should transform the way everything happens,

the way everything works.

It's going to have enormous impact.

I don't think we are really geared up to deal with.

(upbeat music)

- [Radio Presenter] Technology Newsflash.

- [Mr. Honey] All right, let's go.

- All things without remedy should be without regard.

What's done is done. I am the fairest one.

'Tis the eye of childhood that fears the painted devil.

- Bravo. And welcome to the show.

Now all we need is Macbeth.

Myer, you're late.

- Ah. Take five, everyone.

Hello, Mr. President. Perfect timing.

- Mr. Honey. I'd like to introduce you to your new Macbeth.

- Ah, great. Where?

- Hello, Mr. Honey. Nice to meet you.

- This is Robert, a new student studying Shakespeare here.

- [Robert] Elizabethan lit.

- [Mr. Honey] Really? - Yes. Really? Let's talk.

(tense music)

- Robert, let's see what you can do.

I love the idea of a Macbeth with a helmet. It's so chic.

- I'm outta here. Everyone have fun. Good day.

- Thank you so much, President John.

Amazing.

Ever since I was a young lad,

I wanted to play in a play.

- [Mr. Honey] Yeah, yeah, you're gonna go to that chair.

Okay? - [Robert] Okay, yeah.

That's my... (speaker chat indistinctly)

- Places, everyone. Let's go.

- I have done our secret devilish deed.

Didst thou not hear a noise?

- I hear the witches cackling in the vampire slithering.

- Hark. Who lies there in the alleys?

- [All Witches] It is us. Macbeth's terrifying witches.

- That's enough for today.

Now listen, everyone, I need you off script by next week.

- Hey, Nikky, do you think we could maybe get together

and get some food?

And, and go the lines, of course.

- No, yeah. Great idea. We can go to the caff.

I heard they have great veggie burgers.

- Really? Are you vegetarian? Vegan?

No meat for me. Plant-based diet only.

- Oh, my God. That's crazy. Me too.

- Phenomenal. Will you lead the way?

- Yeah, yeah. - Excellent.

So this line here, uh, when I say, "Hark!"

Should I...

(whimsical piano music) (person laughs)

- That'll be the A section, so...

- That's fine.

Oh, and, Saul. - [Saul] Yes.

- You better work with Robert. My job is on the line here.

- [Saul] Sure thing. I, I understand, Mr. Honey.

(upbeat piano music)

(upbeat music) (rooster crows)

- [Jessica] Ava, what do you think we should do

for this year's fundraiser? - [Muffy] What's the cause?

- We need to raise 5K for the suicide prevention line.

There's been a lot of depression on among our students.

We need good quality coverage on the hotline.

- Yeah, it's a great cause, Jessica.

Ooh, how about we have a haunted house

and we invite a famous singer to perform.

- [Jessica] That'll attract a lot of people.

- And Nikky can make her witches stew.

We can call it witches goulash.

- Those are great ideas.

So we combine a theme of our Halloween "Macbeth" show

with our fundraiser.

Macbeth's Terrifying Witches Halloween Fundraiser.

- Yes, and since Halloween is on the same day

as our performance of Halloween Macbeth,

we can combine the cast party with the fundraiser.

It'll bring more people and more money.

- It'll save us money too.

And Myer can bring his frat brothers.

- [Jessica] Hmm.

- By my calculation,

it looks like we're going to have to charge $35 per person

to get the money we need.

- That's a lot,

but if we promise a concert, people will pay.

- And a great haunted house.

Ava, can you ask Bo if he can help with the construction.

He's so good at that stuff.

- Definitely. - Perfect.

- [Nikky] Snacks, everybody.

There you go. Yep, take one.

Okay. So these are really good for you.

They're probiotic, plant grown, vegan, and gluten free.

- Thank you, Nikky. So good. These are incredible.

- Nik, you have to make these for the fundraiser.

- Uh, of course I will.

I will make the spookiest cookies ever.

(oven beeps)

Ooh, okay. Second batch. - Oh, my gosh.

These cookies are so delish.

- We don't have a big budget for live performers,

but we can make some calls.

- Definitely. Make a list and we'll start the calls.

There must be someone cool in town.

What about your cousin, Sydney?

- I knew you're gonna ask about Gigi.

Um, but I think she's in London on a tour. I'll find out.

- Come on, if we could get someone

like Gigi Vega to perform,

we would've doubled what we needed.

And we make a huge impact on WG's mental health services.

- Okay, guys, I will try. Just let me find out.

- No pressure, Sydney.

It's hard to get a superstar to perform for almost nothing.

Even if it is for a good cause.

Muffy, try to Google who else is in town

in case Gigi's in London. - Yeah, will do.

- All right. I'mma go start planning for the party.

I'mma get ready and then I'll head over to FUU

to talk to Bo.

- I'll help you with that, Ava. Wait up.

- [Ava] Okay.

- So, um, honey,

when did you say that BoTech's, uh,

Boston conference was again?

- Uh, late Tuesday. And I am back on...

Halloween. (Barry laughs)

Yeah, I know, Sue. I know.

- [Sue] Okay.

- [Hazel] Good morning, my beautiful sister.

- Good morning, sis. - [Hazel] Brother.

- Morning. Morning. How are you?

- So how are you guys?

- Doing pretty good. - I'm wonderful. Wonderful.

- Is Hope, uh, ready for ballet?

- Oh, yeah. She should be down any minute now.

You hungry? Have a bagel. - Yeah.

I just don't want her to be late.

You know, last time we were late,

that ballet teacher made her sit out the first 15 minutes.

- Oh, well, you know those ballet teachers.

- How's work going? - Mm. It's going.

You know, busy. Work politics and all of that.

- That Pointdexter? - You know it.

- [Hazel] Mm. Figures. - Hey, baby.

- There she is. My Hopie.

- Hey, sweetie. - Hey, auntie.

- You okay, babe? You ready to go?

- [Hope] Yes. - Yeah?

Got your shoes in your bag? - Yes.

- All right, then. Ah, in the bag.

Well, we'll see you guys later.

All right? - Take care.

- I'll see you later, princess.

- All right.

- All right, thank you, Hazel.

- Oh, hey, you're welcome. All right.

So, Hopie, what are you gonna be for Halloween?

- A scary witch.

- Oh, I bet you're gonna be the scariest witch ever.

- You know it. - Ah.

- [Sue] More coffee? - Yes, please. Thank you.

- So, Barry, don't you think you should be here,

you know, watching the test subject,

instead of running off to Boston?

- Yes. Pointdexter thinks it-

He thinks it's a good idea that I go to this conference

just to absorb knowledge.

That's all. It, it'll be good for the campaign.

- I just think it's kind of risky, you know,

having a psychopath on campus

and you're not even gonna be around.

- Sue, I agree.

But they're gonna monitor this guy 24 hours a day,

seven days a week, the entire time I'm gone.

And as of now, everything's been smooth. Okay?

It'll be smooth. No bumps in the road.

Not in his helmet either.

- How is Robert adjusting to college life, anyway?

- He's good. He's even in a play.

- A play? You're kidding me. A play?

- No. He's in a theater play.

- That microchip technology is miraculous.

- Exactly.

I think at this rate, we're gonna clear all the jails.

- Babe, you're gonna change the world.

I mean, think about all the people you're gonna help.

And the tax dollars we'll save.

Babe, you can even stop our people from mass incarceration.

- I think we really are onto something here.

- I'm so proud of you.

- No, baby. I'm proud of us. Come here.

- [Student 1] What, what, what?

- It lands on it.

(everyone cheering)

- All right, everyone, listen up.

We got a ton of items to cover today.

All right, first, man, wear your shirt next time. All right.

- [Student 2] Come on, man. - Second,

any questions about the 70s party tomorrow night?

- Uh, when are the ladies arriving? Specifically, Jessica.

- Get over it, man. She doesn't want you, dude.

- What are you talking about, bro? She's so into me.

- Okay, okay, okay, moving on.

So musical tomorrow

and then sorority party fundraiser afterwards.

Is, is that clear?

- Let's spread the word and support the sisters.

They're supporting a really good cause.

And besides, I built their amazing haunted house.

- Thank you, Bo.

And, guys, please,

remember the musical beforehand, all right?

Saul wrote it, for God's sake.

- Good job, bro. For real. - Thank, bro.

- We don't fake it.

- [Altogether] We just make it.

- We don't fake it.

- [Altogether] We just make it level love.

- Level up.

- [Altogether] Level up. Level up. Level up.

- Where's Nikky? - Studying her lines.

- Isn't she coming?

- She said she didn't have time.

- That's crazy.

Does anyone have any, oh, can I have some eyeshadow?

- Yeah. Yeah. You can use my (indistinct).

- [Jessica] Thank you. I love the colors. This is so pretty.

- [Ava] Girl, yes. They're the best.

- [Jessica] Look, it's a Saturday night.

We should go get her. - Okay.

(calm music)

- The vampire slithering, the-

The, I hear the witches cackling

and the vampires slithering.

Okay.

I are the witches cackling and the vampires slithering.

Okay. Um, hey, guys.

- [Friends] Hey.

- You need a break. You're coming with us. It's 70s-themed.

- No, I can't. I have too many lines to learn.

- You already know all your lines.

Besides, we aren't taking no for an answer. Right, guys?

- No. - Right.

- [Nikky] Mm-mm.

- Muffy, bring that extra foxy lady disco outfit.

- [Muffy] Be right back.

- [Ava] Let's go, Nikky. - [Jessica] Come on, Nikki.

- Robert will be there.

- Um, he will. Okay, let's go.

(friends squeal) (upbeat music)

- Looking good. Everybody's working.

So how are we doing, team.

- Uh, not a peep from the microchip.

- And that's what I like to hear.

- [Professor 1] You were right, Pointdexter.

Not a flaw to be had in our work.

- Foolproof. And that's why they call me...

- [Professors] On Point Pointdexter.

- You like that? I thought of that myself.

Uh, lemme have, uh, that.

So, who's, uh, who's the bartending tonight?

How about you, Barry?

- No, I have to pack for my trip to Boston in the morning.

- Ah, you're right, you're right.

You gotta do that. All right.

Maybe catch you next time.

- Listen, I think that we should have Professor Kreplach

come over and check Kewaas before I leave.

Just be sure.

- And, uh, specifically why?

- Just to make sure that everything's running smoothly

and, uh, to make sure the microchip is transmitting

to the antenna.

- Oh, yeah. And that's premature. Wouldn't you think?

- Well, to be prudent, I think that...

I think it'll be a good idea, yeah. Just to make sure.

- Don't be silly, Barry. The team is monitoring him 24/7.

Robert is fine. Everything is calm.

In fact, we haven't received one signal of concern

from the helmet today.

Am I right?

- [Professor 1] Nope. - [Professor 2] Not a one.

- [Professor 3] Not at all.

- [Pointdexter] And there you go.

- Listen, Professor.

I think that it just would be a good idea to,

just to check the implant before I leave because it's, uh,

it's been a little quiet over there.

You know, just check it out. Make sure that-

- [Professor 1] Quiet is good.

- Yes, yes, yes. Quiet is good.

We're done. Stop. Stop.

Now, pick a card. Any card.

- Another card trick? - Yes. And don't show me.

Pick it. All right. Now, show them.

All right, I'm turning around. Don't show me. Watch this.

You know what? Queen of hearts.

(professors clapping)

- [Professor 1] Nailed it.

- It's called slight of hands.

You look someone straight in the eye

and they don't see what they're doing with their hands.

- [Professor 1] Very impressive, sir. Very impressive.

- [Professor 2] On point. - Thank you.

- Listen, uh, I think that, uh,

it's time I have to pack for my trip.

Gentlemen, thank you.

- You've got it. Bye, Barry.

- [Barry] Bye. - Y'all say bye to Barry.

- [Professor 1] Bye, Barry. - [Professor 2] Bye, Barry.

- I was writing an app to track RFID transmissions

from my M-chip tablet,

and I found out it has an unfixable flaw

at the silicon level.

- Elijah, you so boring.

First there was a chip shortage,

now you can hot wire a microchip?

I can't room with you next year, dude.

You're such a... - Genius?

The flaw allows me to create covert channels

that can allow in malicious,

basically reprogramming it.

- Did you say covert? Oh, lemme take a look.

What's that? - Hold on. Wh-what is that?

Never seen it before.

- [Joe] Why? (computer beeping)

- There's a mysterious microchip on campus.

The signal is almost undetectable

as if someone's trying to hide it.

I, I, I don't recognize this coding.

- And?

- It could be a nefarious mining or hacking on campus.

Or it could be a cyber infiltration algorithm.

- A CIA infiltration?

So what are we gonna do?

- We? - Yeah, bro.

- Uh, well, first we need to figure out who it is,

what it is.

- And it's location. Maybe we can make some money here.

- Money? Wha-what's wrong with you?

Actually, don't answer that. Just pull up a chair.

Gimme one of those.

(chips crunching)

- Woo. Let's play it. Let's play it.

Well, you know what, I'm gonna have to call it then.

What you gonna do, sir? - I call. I call.

- All right. Well, turn 'em over then, boys. Turn them over.

- You just call like that? - Turn 'em over. We all in.

- So, so let me get this straight.

A magnet unlocks the door at the silicon level.

Then any two malicious apps can talk

when they're not supposed to because the chip is flawed.

- We have to be careful.

We don't know who is on the other end of this microchip.

- What's the worst it could be, a monster?

- Worst, the US government or a foreign operative.

If I wave this magnet,

then we will interfere with this signal.

So any communication coming from the foreign microchip

comes to us directly.

- We could be saving the university

from something nefarious.

- Totally, but we don't wanna scare anyone just yet.

And not a word of this to anyone.

- Good thinking. Not a word to anyone.

- [Ava] Ooh, what you doing?

- Just studying a little gender and cultural diversity.

- Mm, good choice. - What about you?

- Party planning? - Ooh, sounds fun.

- Yeah. - Where's Nikki been lately?

- She's at the caff with Macbeth, practicing.

- [Jessica] Ooh. - Ooh, I think she's in love.

- Let's go spy on them. - Sounds fun.

- Sources say the secret BoTech microchip experiment

is going so well

that they're expecting some results after Halloween.

Now, the test subject is thriving

and it seems to be no security con-

- Dammit! That dummy is still making it.

- But what is wrong with you?

You can't back out of the bet now, Shady Shade.

Don't get mad because you losing.

Once you flip out, I win. You pay, my brother.

- Don't count me out just yet.

That Ke-Ke-Kewaas ain't made it yet.

And I got an idea.

- Oh, that sound like trouble.

- Um, so, yeah.

I wanted to look at these lines and just go over 'em again.

Why are you looking at me like that?

- Sorry. Oh, the lines.

I'm, I'm gonna look at the lines now.

- Right. So I think we need to-

- [Jessica] Hey, guys. - [Ava] Hey.

- [Jessica] What you doing? - Hey, guys.

- Hello, witches.

I mean, beautiful, intelligent, and appreciated ladies.

- [Jessica] Robert, you're so funny.

Since you guys are practicing,

I mean, I guess we should rehearse as well, right?

- Yeah. - How does it go?

- [Student] Heads up.

(cutlery clanking)

- [Ava] Myer. - [Nikky] Myer.

- [Myer] Sorry, Robert.

- Oh, no. Don't worry about it.

- [Nikky] You okay? Okay.

- Oh, can I have a bike, Jess?

- Why even bother asking?

- [Bo] Yo, what's up, guys?

- [Ava] Hey, Bo. - Hi.

Oh, thank you guys so much

for the help building your haunted house.

- [Myer] Yeah. Most definitely.

- [Nikky] Yeah. Robert is doing amazing too.

- Oh. Thank you, darling.

Mr. Honey is, is really great, isn't he?

- I mean, he's oddly supportive of us now.

He used to be such a big jerk, right?

- [Jessica] Remember when he yelled at us for-

- You okay, Robert? You're head good?

- Yeah, uh, all is, all is fine in this head of mine.

- Hey, are you sure?

- So are you guys, like, in love?

You look so in love.

- Well, we are married in the play.

- Oh, that's the play we're being forced to go to, right?

Halloween something. - Joe, you need to get a life.

No one's forcing you to do anything.

- I'm just teasing. - You're still an idiot.

- How about you go out with me?

- How about never, hm?

- That's a long time. You know you can't resist me forever.

- [Jessica] Yeah, 'cause you're so irresistible.

- Come on, Jess. Who's more handsome than me?

- Robert is a lot nicer.

- Oh, thank you, Jessica, darling.

- And more polite. - Thank you again.

- Surely.

- If I start talking like Robert,

then will you go steady with me?

- [Jessica] Steady? No. (friends laughing)

- Lame me. - Yes.

- Hello.

- President John, we have some news for you.

An unidentified person wearing dark gloves, a mask,

was seen entering the theater through the back door.

- Any idea who it was?

- Could be another student,

or could be somebody from the outside.

10 more pounds and Kewaas's neck bones

would've been crushed.

- And all of our work would be ruined.

- Yeah. Well, we're gathering more information now.

We'll keep you updated.

- That mysterious microchip is for real malfunctioning.

See, Joe. I'm getting a very strong signal.

(computer beeping)

- S-so whoever is supposed to know about the malfunction

doesn't know we're playing interference, right?

- Joe, y-you are exactly right.

Now, we need to figure out who that microchip belongs to

before something bad happens.

Joe, look up microchip location determination

on the US gov site.

(tense music)

- I, I, I can't get into the site.

- Shoot. Just what I thought.

We'll need to do some decoding.

We need to be able to receive the exact location

of that microchip.

- Okay. Ah, here we go.

Uh, something happened. Something happened.

- Hello, Robert. How are you feeling? My name is Linda.

- I'm Sue. Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you as well, love.

I'm feeling better now

that the buzzing in my head has stopped.

- Good. Let's look at this helmet.

Hmm. It seems to be dented in several spots.

- Yes. Yes, I can see them.

- Robert, can you remember hitting your head or falling

at any other time besides tonight?

- Hmm. I have been hit in the head a few times.

Is that what you mean? - Yes, Robert. Thank you.

Gentlemen, the helmet seems to be dented in several spots,

but I'm sure you already knew about that, right?

- Well, this is the first time he's been brought in

or any issue has been reported to us

or in the monitoring system.

- Actually, we haven't been really monitoring that well,

so it's pretty hard to say.

- [Sue] Wait, what? - Are you kidding?

- I think that we should let Barry know

and then run a full checkup on the microchip's integrity.

As soon as possible. - Yes, agreed.

Now, has he been near any magnets

that could cause interference?

- Uh, none that's been reported.

Um, and listen to me, I do not want to upset Barry. Okay?

So we're going to release him. Okay?

- Really? Wait. Release him now?

- Yeah, right now. I know what I'm doing.

Excuse me. Robert, how you feeling, buddy?

You good? You okay? You sure?

(telephone rings)

- Hello. - [John] Hello.

- President John, what's going on?

- We had an incident on campus.

- There's a lot at stake here for BoTech,

the university and for reform

in the criminal justice system.

But what no one needs is this crazy criminal Kewaas

to emerge from under that helmet.

- I know what the stakes are, Commissioner.

- Now, Kreplach told me

that the chip loses its synaptic conduction

if it's jarred loose from its place.

- [John] Let's just stay calm.

We'll be in touch as soon as there's some news.

- All right.

Stay calm. Tell me.

(suspenseful music)

- Talk the channels. - I don't know.

I'm just afraid that Pointdexter's lack of work, work, work

is gonna ruin our work, work, work.

- You know what I think?

- That the team is too busy drinking

and playing poker to monitor Kewaas.

- Yes, but I also think there's someone on campus

interfering with the signals.

- And the local testosterone drunks are too busy

to even realize something bad has happened.

- Yeah.

Sue, I don't wanna scare you,

but if the chip malfunctions,

Kewaas could remember how much he hates Barry

and go after him.

- Then I guess it's a good thing that Barry's away.

- Yeah, but you aren't.

Sue, I think you should get security

until this whole thing is resolved.

- I mean, Linda, you're probably right,

but what am I gonna tell the police?

That some maniac with a microchip in his head is after me?

- Yeah. - I, I'll just...

Barry will be home tomorrow before the party.

- Okay. Do you want me to stay with you tonight?

- That's sweet. But no, I'll be fine.

- You sure? - I'm sure.

- All right. Well, call me if you change your mind.

- I will. - Oh, I forgot my keys.

Are you safe out to the car by yourself?

- Oh, sure. I'll be fine. - Okay.

- [Sue] I'll call you when I'm home.

- Okay. Please do. Be safe, Sue.

- [Sue] Bye, Linda.

(suspenseful music)

(eerie music)

(door creaking)

(eerie music)

- Oh. Sorry, Sue, did I scare you?

- No, I, I just wasn't expecting anyone. That's all.

- I forgot to bring you the craft set.

Yes, for those necklaces you and Hope are gonna make

for the party. - I forgot.

- Hey, can I help you make 'em tonight?

- Yes. Um, how about I order Indian food?

- Absolutely. Wait a minute. Hope eats Indian?

- She loves it.

- Ah, wow. She has a very sophisticated palette.

- She gets it from me.

(upbeat music)

(computer pinging)

- [Shade] As a potential candidate

for the crowdsource Federal Bureau of Innovation internship,

our AI system selected you.

Congratulations.

- Awesome. One of my internships came through.

Although, I don't remember filling out a CS FBI app.

- [Shade] You must complete an independent

film experiment to qualify.

We know Robert has a microchip in his head.

You must run a covert harmless test on the chip.

- Robert has a microchip? Wow.

Artificial intelligence. This is unbelievable.

Thank you for the opportunity.

- [Shade] The CS FBI needs you.

Without being detected, get a high-grade magnet.

Run the magnet over Robert's helmet,

and then remove the helmet from his head.

Then report your observation in person.

- Not a problem.

- [Shade] Now the big challenge.

I need you to meet the CS FBI agent

at 222 Bart Lane

with Roberts helmet in your hand at 21:00 hours

for a quick verification.

- The guy had a concussion.

He's not supposed to remove the helmet.

- [Shade] This is your challenge.

You take orders and you do not ask questions.

- Is this really necessary for an internship?

- [Shade] Your ability to deliver

will secure your internship spot

with the CS FBI prestigious summer program.

This internship bring you great connections

and you will be well respected

by your friends. - No problem.

I will do it. Goodbye.

All right then. This can be fun.

(people chattering)

(people applauding)

(suspenseful music)

(Barry screams) (Sue screams)

- Sorry. - Don't do that.

(Barry laughs)

- Oh, come here, baby. Why are you so jumpy?

- I'm glad you're home. How was your flight?

- Oh, it was good. Nice hat. (Barry laughs)

- Good. I'm glad you think so. I have one for you too.

- Oh, come on.

- You gotta wear it tonight though.

- Go on.

How do I look? - Like a mad scientist.

But did you hear about Kewaas?

- Oh, come on, Sue. Baby, listen.

- Okay, but, Barry, this is really important.

- I know, but, Sue,

let's get in the shower and just relax and, babe-

- Okay, but, Barry, I really need to talk to you.

- Babe, li-listen, lemme get a shower, just change,

just relax myself.

Change, all ready for the Halloween party.

I promise, baby. And I will wear your hat.

(upbeat piano music)

(person speaking indistinctly)

(audience applauding)

(tense music)

(audience applauding)

- [Student] Bravo, Nikky. Bravo.

(person speaking indistinctly)

- I never really liked Halloween with all the spiders.

Oh, hello, Doctor.

I wanna tell you

that the university is so happy and proud

that you have become a part of us.

- Thank you.

- All your help. Would you like some?

- Oh, no. Thank you. - Oh.

- Oh, look at the decorations.

- Oh, yeah. Check out the decoration.

Anyway, as I was saying...

- [Children] Happy Halloween. - Yeah! Happy Halloween.

Ain't that beautiful? Little kids running around like that.

(chips crunching)

Happy Halloween.

- [Barry] Doctor.

- [Pointdexter] I'mma need one of y'all little babies

to help me over here.

The little children just knocked these out of my hand.

Can you gimme a hand here, baby?

Yeah. Right here. Just put 'em right in here.

- That's not really my child.

- Can you? No, they never do it.

Can you help me? No, no, no, no, no, no.

Can you help me in this, baby?

- [Barry] Professor Pointdexter.

- Hey. Hey. Welcome back.

- What's up, Barry?

- Yeah, you look like you got a tan.

No, that's just you. So, anyway, how was your trip?

- Oh, I had a good time.

Listen, I learned a lot and I'll debrief you in the morning.

- Excellent party, Barry.

- Yeah. Where's your wife? - Good job.

Over there, getting something to eat.

She likes to stuff her face.

Likes to stay plump just the way I like 'em.

- Yeah, listen. Sue had some concerns about Kewaas.

So I wanted to just make sure everything was okay.

- Oh, no, no. It's okay.

It, it just, you know how women get excitable.

I agree. Nothing that can't wait till tomorrow.

- [Barry] You sure? - Positive. Did you try this?

- [Barry] No, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm good. Thank you.

- No, they're helluva good, helluva good.

- Have you tried any of these devilish knishes?

- No. Lem-lemme see that, baby.

What is it now? - [Barry] Knish.

- Who made it? - [Barry] I did.

- Did you run outta salt?

Baby, put some salt and bring them back.

(suspenseful music)

- I got it.

- [Joe] That's the microchip location?

- Exactly. 222 Bark Lane.

- What are we waiting for? Let's go.

- Yeah.

(eerie music)

(horn squeaking) (bell chiming)

(eerie music)

(music drowns out clown)

- Beat it, (indistinct), or you'll end up in my bone broth.

- [Trick Or Treater] My heaven, why all the roughness?

♪ What are you ♪

(Robert laughs)

- Hey, little rabbits.

You better run, little rabbits.

Or I'm gonna cook little rabbits.

(children screaming)

Scary clown? Ice cream?

No one's allowed to be scarier than me.

- [Clown] Oh, calm down. What is your problem? Hey!

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Hey, man. That's my bike.

♪ What are you ♪ - Move it, mummy.

Or I'll whoop you like your mommy did.

- [Child] That ax looks so real.

♪ What are you ♪

(upbeat music) (witch cackling)

- Great job tonight, Nikky.

- You too. Um, is Robert here?

- Um, I haven't seen him,

but maybe he's around here somewhere.

- Yeah.

Did you notice how he was missing from the curtain call?

- I mean, yeah, but it's his first show.

Maybe he didn't even know there was a curtain call.

Just relax. Don't stress about it.

- I know.

He just looked a little out of it

as I was going onto stage for the last scene.

And I waved to him and he did not wave back.

So I just, he, it looked like he didn't even recognize me.

- Probably was just a lot for him with his concussion.

Maybe he went back to his room to lie down.

- Yeah. That, that could've happened. That's true.

- Look, it doesn't matter.

This party turned out so good.

And we're gonna have so much fun.

- Yeah.

- And your witches goulash was was a hit.

- [Sydney] Guys, look who it is. It's Mr. Honey.

(everyone squealing)

- You ladies, you made me very proud tonight.

All of you.

- [Nikky] Thank you, Mr. Honey.

- And you, Nikky. What can I say? Bravo.

(everyone clapping)

- Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

- Will I see you at auditions next week for the Winter Fest?

- Yes. For sure. Absolutely.

- Ooh, Mr. Honey, you going in the Halloween house?

- Oh. I don't know. That looks terrifying.

- [Ava] Let's all go together. - [Friends] Let's go.

(group squealing)

(group screaming)

- There's the house. Okay, Barry Bryant.

Chop, chop. You humiliated me...

- [Shade] Wow. - [Robert] In my presentation.

- I actually did it. I did it. This is amazing.

Flip that fool, Kewaas. Digital jail-break.

- Barry, it's time to pay for your sins.

Happy Halloween, bro. (Robert laughs)

(Robert screams) (chime sounds)

- [Doctor Kreplach] Robert.

(calm music)

- I love you. I love you. - [Doctor Kreplach] Robert.

- [Nikky] I love you.

- Kewaas, are you okay?

- [Robert] Mr. Bryant, what happened?

- You've fallen.

- And you couldn't get up.

- It is a miracle. An absolute miracle.

The microchip is firmly in place.

How are you feeling, Robert?

- [Robert] Uh, better than ever, Dr Kreplach.

- Oh, you know who I am. That is very good.

Where's your helmet?

- Oh. I don't, I don't know. I thought I had it on.

It must've come off on the way over here.

- Well, I suppose you don't need it anymore.

All right. Someone clean him up.

This is at night for celebration.

- Yes. The microchip program is a success.

- Grudge, oh, that's... - Okay, okay.

- [Pointdexter] All right, all right. All right, okay.

- Hey, Barry, I owe you an apology.

I've been really cruddy to you and it was undeserving.

You're a good guy, Barry Bryant. I appreciate you.

- Well, I'm just glad you okay.

Come on, let me help you up.

- Thank you so much, mate. - [Barry] Oh, God.

- Shade, you're not gonna see the light of day

for a long time.

Hey, make sure you get that helmet he's been hiding.

- Feel it right here. - Oh.

Listen, Commissioner, can I,

can I get the microchip like Robert?

I deserve it more than he does.

Come on. I was the one told him to go get it.

- Let's get outta here. (tense music)

(people screaming)

(group laughing and squealing)

- Does your marijuana card work out here in Georgia?

- Well, it was (indistinct). - Okay.

- Oh, well, what do we have here?

- Found two live ones in the bushes.

- Elijah and Joe, what are you doing here?

And you too, Myer? - [Myer] Uh.

- Please don't waste my time, gentlemen.

- Well, we detected a weird RFID transmission

and tracked it to a microchip on campus,

and the trail brought us here.

- We were just trying to figure out what it was

and intercept any dangerous espionage if we had to.

- Intercept?

Did you guys ever stop to think

that it was doing what it was supposed to do?

- Um, no. Did we, Elijah?

- You boys put the entire campus in danger.

- I see the genius and the two of you.

- Us two? Like, me and him? He ain't that smart.

- He, he's right. I'm not. - Monday morning, my office.

- [Joe] Yes, sir. - So what about me?

'Cause I don't even know why I'm here.

- Monday morning with these two, my office.

- Yes, sir. - [Elijah] President John,

we are really sorry again for the trouble.

- [John] Outta here, boys. Go on.

Boys. Are you forgetting someone?

I am sure that he has cast members at the sorority party

that are worried about him.

- [Myer] Yeah, right. My bad. - Great show tonight, Robert.

You too, Myer. I enjoyed it.

- Thank you. - Thank you so much, sir.

I'm just gonna grab one of these cupcakes here before I go.

- I got it, I got it.

- See you on Monday.

- Dean Crack In The System, in my office, Monday morning.

(Pointdexter stutters)

And to be clear,

you are in trouble. - Yes.

But all I do is work, work, work, work, work, work, work.

- I'm done.

We'll discuss it Monday after Sue and Linda are back

on the microchip team as co-chairs.

- Thank you, president.

- Yes. Thank you, Mr. President.

- Well-deserved.

(upbeat music)

- Robert.

- Nikky. Oh, look at you.

You look amazing. I missed you so much.

- I missed you too. Look at you. (indistinct)

- No more helmet. I guess I'm cured.

Oh, it's great. So much.

- Hey, everyone. I have an announcement.

Who wants to hear the president sing us a song?

(everyone cheering)

Let's get this party going.

- Thank you very much. Uh, you look like a princess.

This party is enough fun without me singing.

However, I'll say a few words.

It's been quite a night at Wonder Georgia University.

Myer, Joe, Elijah, I am sure you will agree with me,

but we've taken a giant step forward

in moving humanity in the right direction.

(students applauding)

Students, you should applaud yourselves.

I appreciate what you've done. You've made us proud.

Now let's carry on and have a ghoulish time.

(everyone cheering)

- One more thing. I have a surprise for you all.

So, although my cousin, Gigi Vega, couldn't be here tonight,

she has decided to make a special donation.

$10,000 to our cause.

- [Student 1] Wow. - [Student 2] Wow.

(people cheering) - And, and, one more thing.

Now only that. She wrote a song especially for us.

DJ, cue the music, please.

- Taking responsibility is a very positive thing.

- Yeah, well, good, 'cause I,

I'm not taken responsibility for getting fired.

They gonna demote me?

The whole chip program is mine.

Wasn't for me, this whole state would be in trouble.
