Previously on Hardy Boys...

We need to get the power out of Frank

before it destroys him.

They want your power.
They're going to try to take it from you.

And you are so close.

I'm being framed.
- Dixon City Police! Open up!

- It's only a couple stories up.

- Don't do anything crazy.

- You need me to steal back the relic

from Stratemeyer Global.

You bring Frank to the chamber,

I'll bring the relic, we'll get the power
out of him once and for all.

- The Eye told me that I need the power
to get what I want most!

- And what is that?!
- I want my mom back, Joe!

Give up the power, Frank,

and everyone walks away from this alive.

- Sorry, Joey.

I just wish
I could see the look on his face

when he realizes
that he ran off with a fake.

Shadow Man's at the school.
- You have to get out of here.

- I'm not going home
until I get at least one dance.

Tell us about Project Midnight.

We were attempting
to transfer one person's consciousness

into another person's body.

Adrian Munder was never
a part of Project Midnight.

Patient B was his brother, Aaron.
They're twins.

- It was Aaron who did all of this,

all so that he could get
his hands on that crystal.

- But why would he attack his own brother?
- He didn't!

He had a bandage on his wrist
from getting stitches.

There's no way he could heal that fast.

We were right the whole time.

Joe! Joe!

I can't find Frank.
- What?!

- Come on.

♪

Angela's here. She has the tracker.

- You think she has Frank?
I figured it out!

I figured it out!

I figured it out.
- We figured it out.

- No cuts, no stitches.
- What are you talking about?

- It's not Munder in the hospital.
- Well it is, just not the Munder we know.

- Mr. Munder has
an identical twin named Aaron.

He was the one who went
catatonic after Project Midnight.

- But how do you know?
- Did you find the nurse?

- We found his nurse. Nurse Cody?
She was the one taking care of Aaron

all this time,
before his brother came to get him.

- Mr. Munder switched places
with his twin brother.

- Mr. Munder's the Shadow Man.

Frank was right!

- Where is Frank?
- Angela might have him.

- What?!
- Frank had a vision that drew us here.

- He saw someone getting attacked
by the Shadow Man at the dance.

- We thought it was Lucy, but she's fine.
We were dancing.

- Nice, man! What song?
- Not now, Phil!

- Now, Angela's here, and--
- And you think she's got Frank?

- Wait. If Angela was just tracking Frank,

she would have gone to
the chamber where he had his vision.

- But she came here instead.
- So she's gotta be tracking the crystal.

- Yeah, because they both give off
the same energy signature.

- That explains the headache
that Frank got in the chamber.

Last time I saw that happen,
she had us tied up down there

the day of the parade.
The day of the robbery.

Her tracker lit up when
the crystal was being stolen.

- Are you saying--
- I'm saying

that there's a connection between
The Eye and the crystal.

And if the Shadow Man has the crystal,
he must have figured out the connection

and used it to lure Frank to the school.

The Shadow Man has Frank.

- What are we standing around for?
- He could be anywhere by now.

- Where would Mr. Munder take him?
Where do we even start?

- We need to go to Mr. Munder's house.
We could've missed something.

- Let's go.
- Okay.

- Wait, wait, wait.
We don't have to chase down Frank.

We go after Angela.
- We get our hands on the tracker.

- If he has another vision,
it'll lead us right to him. Let's go.

♪

You really think Mr. Munder
would bring him back here?

I just think we missed something.

♪

What are we gonna
find that the cops didn't?

- Well, everybody thought that Mr. Munder
was a victim of the Shadow Man,

but nobody searched this place
thinking that the Shadow Man lived here.

- If Mr. Munder swapped places
with his brother,

he did it in a hurry
because we were closing in on him.

He had no time to clean everything.

- But why'd they take Frank?
- 'Cause Frank has The Eye.

- Yeah, but Mr. Munder didn't know that.

- Well, maybe he did.
How?

- Phil?
- What? Don't look at me like that.

- Did you let it slip when you
and Mr. Munder

were solving the code
on the scroll like best friends?

- Yeah, Biff's my best friend.

Are you sure you didn't tell him?

- No, no chance! No! What?

It was me.

♪

When we found Aaron,

I was talking to Phil.

I said that Frank
had the power of The Eye in him.

- Wait, that means that Mr. Munder
must've been in the house.

- Creepy.

- So, what? He was hiding?

He had to be in earshot.
- Over here.

- Okay, guys,
this is where we were standing.

I just don't get it.
I mean, Frank was so sure,

even with the power of The Eye in him.

We have no idea who we're chasing.

It's a secret basement.

♪

Going somewhere, Doctor?

♪

Who is it?

- Mr. Munder is going to use the crystal

to transfer his brother's
consciousness to Frank's body.

Just like Project Midnight.

- Burelli said there's
no vessel strong enough.

- Frank will be strong enough.

- Because of The Eye.

Guys, the vessel is the power.

Frank got taken because of me.

- Joe, it's not your fault.

Mr. Munder would have found out
about Frank eventually.

Just look at the extremes
he went through to pull this all off.

But just think. Coming here that night,
you've ruined his original plan.

- He can't use his creepy
secret basement anymore.

- He's improvising. He's on the run.

- So there's still time to save Frank.

If we can find him.

What happened? What am I doing here?

You're in a lot of trouble, Frank.

- Wait. Did you just close
the door to the secret room?

You can't do that!
We're going to be trapped!

You don't believe me?

Just try to get out of that chair.

Wake up!

- Wake up. Wake up, Mr. Hardy.

Welcome to Project Midnight.

♪ theme song ♪

Former Dixon City
police officer Fenton Hardy

is wanted for questioning in connection

with multiple homicides in the area.

Hardy was last seen at the Grand Hotel

where he evaded police...
- Hey!

Hey, are you okay?
- Yeah. Thanks for coming.

- Thanks for coming?
Fenton, you gotta turn yourself in.

- Not till I track down Olivia Kowalski.

Do you have my files?

- Yeah, they're in the back.

- Okay.

Okay, what's the plan?

- We're gonna find the woman
who's framing me.

She killed McFarlane,

and then she killed another guy
in a vacant building.

Then she killed another guy
and dumped his body in my hotel room.

And I recognize him from these files.

Both those other guys that she killed

were each hired
to guard vacant buildings

owned by George Estabrook Enterprises.

So, why would Stratemeyer Global
be guarding empty old buildings?

- Maybe they're not so empty.
- Right?

Olivia stole a codex
from one of the buildings.

Willing to bet she's looking
for a second codex now.

- What's in the codex?
- Scrolls.

She tried to get McFarlane's scroll,
but he died protecting it, gave it to me.

And that scroll has got
ripped edges on two sides.

Makes me think that all the scrolls

are part of a larger document.

- So she's collecting them.

- Yeah. Got a feeling
we're going to find her

in an empty old building owned by...

- George Estabrook Enterprises.

We got to get there first.
- Yep.

♪

If you're looking for Frank,
he's not here.

- But he was. Where is he now?

- Hoping you could tell us.

- Don't tell me you lost him.

you give us that check.

- And why would I do that?

- Because you're out of options.
You made your play,

you lost.

Tell me, how are your bosses
at Stratemeyer Global

going to feel about you going rogue
and killing one of their own?

- They're going to find out what happens
to people when they cross me.

- You gonna kill us
like you killed Mack?

-'Cause I don't think all of us
gonna fit in that bathtub.

- Mack outlived his usefulness to me,

so I helped him stay relevant.

And, yes, that was a threat.

But if you're trying to get me
to confess on that hidden camera,

it won't work.

I disabled the feed,

Why did you steal the crystal?
How does it help you get revenge?

- Is that what you think this is all for?
Revenge.

I can see why
your young mind would go there.

That was my first instinct, too.

But, this...

is so much more.

Desire for vengeance

is a fleeting emotion based in anger

and hurt. Anger and hurt...

can heal with time.

But do you know what stays with you

no matter what, Frank?

What persists through time?

Love.

Love. Love never ends.

Aching, painful, mournful love

that comes with missing someone so much

that you would do anything
to bring them back.

Can you understand that?

♪

- More than anything.

- Project Midnight
took my brother from me.

I'm not going to avenge him.
I'm going to save him.

- Your brother.

Your twin brother. What was his name?

- Don't you speak of him
in the past tense!

His name is Aaron.

- You said that--
- He's in the crystal.

That's what it's for. It's a way-station.

Aaron's body is in the hospital,

but his consciousness is in the crystal.

That's what Project Midnight was.

A way to transfer a person's consciousness

into the body of another. It's actually...

It's quite a remarkable idea,
but the project failed,

and Aaron became trapped.

His body rendered nothing more
than a catatonic husk, but my brother

is alive, Mr. Hardy. In here.

- So, what do you need me for?

Why not put Aaron's
consciousness in Aaron's body?

I had my brother in the chair
in my basement.

I had my hand on the lever.

Now, picture it slipping away.

Aaron's body failed once,
I couldn't risk it failing again.

So, I changed my plan.

I needed a test run.

- Dennis.

I helped him forget.

But for Dennis, there was another way.

I used the machine

take him off the game board,

but it wasn't the full Midnight treatment.

Dennis will recover.

He may even get all of
his memories back. Eventually.

you over-hyped so much

I thought I lost you in The Sleep Room.

What's wrong?

I need to know, Gloria.

Where did you hide my scrolls?
