Previously, on wild cards...

You two were close. I can tell.

Just always thought I was gonna
have more time with him, you know?

Hey, jj, what are you
hooligans up to tonight?

- This your girlfriend? - We're comrades!
- This is not my girlfriend.

She's way too cool to
be your girlfriend.

She is not way too cool
to be my girlfriend.

- You sure about all this?
- Don't you trust me?

Of course I trust you,
but working with a cop?

Don't worry. This is gonna
get us both what we want.

Sorry you gotta wear
the bracelet, George.

Small price to pay to
walk as a free man.

Only for 72 hours.

And I'm gonna milk
every second of it.

Somebody in this
join call for a ride?

Hi, honey.

Happy birthday, dad.

Oof, best present ever.

Oh, this is just the beginning.

I see the jacket still fits.

- Yeah, I lost some weight.
- Not in the good way.

Oh. I know just the place
to start fattening you up.

You thinking what I'm thinking?

I'm so far ahead of you,
you can't even see my dust.

- 10-70.
- Prowler reported.

- 11-81.
- Accident, minor injuries.

You were always the best
at the police code game.

Some kids had connect four,

I had a police scanner
in a getaway car.

Getaway car's a bit dramatic.

Okay, do you not remember
that one time in sedona?

With the crystal grift and
the angry desert hippies?

- That wasn't "getting away"?
- Fair point.

Man, those desert hippies
could run, though, right?

ah, good times.

Man, I wish we could
just pull one teeny,

Tiny grift while I'm out.

For old times' sake.

- No way.
- Come on!

- Just one little mustard dip.
- No!

What about a "Reykjavik
tongue swallow"?

- No!
- Ooh, we'll do your favorite,

We pulled it on your
sweet sixteen...

Dad!

Wow.

You really are a cop now.

I'm not risking getting
your sentence extended.

Aw... It's sweet of
you to think of me.

I'm thinking of me, too.

I miss you.

And I'm trying to
get you outta there.

So for the next 72 hours, this
is a crime-free zone, okay?

Whatever you say, boss.

- 10-91h!
- Stray horse sighting.

Wow! You are the master.

- Flying solo today?
- Yeah, boss gave max.

A few days off. Her dad's
got a three-day pass.

For his help on the Ripley case.

- Interesting.
- What's so interesting?

Max works her dad into a case,
he wins himself a furlough...

Are you sure you can trust
them out there on their own?

- Ellis, perp in holding!
- Says he'll only talk to you.

- Who is it?
- Don't know. Don't care.

Get outta my chair.

- Suspect's down there.
- His case manager's on the way.

Okay, thanks.

Jj?

Hey, Ellis.

- What's going on?
- They busted me.

For breaking and entering.

You gotta get me out of
here, man. I-I didn't do it.

And you're sure you were
nowhere near the house.

That was robbed last night?

No! No, I was in my
dorm room asleep.

Then why do they
think you did it?

I built a drone in
my robotics lab.

The same drone that was
used in the robbery?

Yeah, it got caught in a tree
at the house that was robbed.

Cops traced it back to me.

- How did it get there, jj?
- I don't know.

- Right, fine.
- Where do you keep it at night.

- When you're not using it?
- It stays in the lab.

Look, I swear I didn't have
anything to do with this,

But no one believes me.

I mean, I'm just the poor kid
at the rich school, you know?

They'll pin this on me for
sure. What am I gonna do?

You're going to stand down.

We'll hand him over
to youth services.

he didn't do it.

- Based on what evidence?
- I know this kid, okay?

My brother helped him
when things were rough.

- He wouldn't do this.
- Wouldn't be the first time.

A kid fell off the
straight and narrow.

You're right. But
jj's different.

- I'm telling you.
- I'll say he is.

This drone that he built
is very sophisticated.

It was used to knock out
all the security cameras.

- At the scene.
- Exactly. This kid is smart.

I'm telling you.
My brother Daniel.

Was the first person to
recognize how brilliant jj was,

He got him off the
streets, and got him.

A full ride at preswood academy.
Daniel was the first person.

That jj came out to.

He didn't trust anybody,
but he trusted him.

So that's why he called you.

He doesn't have
anybody else, sir.

Those officers in juvie.

Are just gonna put him
through the wringer.

You know you're
too close to this.

Look, he's not what
you think he is, okay?

But if we let him
go to prison...

Yeah, he will lose his
way, just like a thousand.

Other good kids have before him.

I'm not gonna let
that happen. I won't.

Just gimme a couple of days.

You got a day.

If you can't clear him by then,
I'm kicking it down the ladder.

Thank you, sir.

Don't be a suck-up.

- Get going.
- Right... Thanks.

Unless you've found
my belongings,

I already told the
other one everything.

Look, I'm just following
up on a few details,

Alright, ma'am? Now, the
responding officer's report.

Says there was no forced
entry. Is that correct?

- That's right.
- Okay.

- How did they bypass the alarm?
- I have no idea.

How hard could it be?

People hack into the
pentagon all the time.

- They do?
- Oh, yeah.

- I read about it online.
- Right.

Did they take any
computers, electronics?

- Any other valuables?
- They went straight.

For the cash and jewels in
the bedroom. Nothing else.

It's like they knew
exactly where to look.

It says here you were in Italy
during the time of the robbery?

That's right.

So no alarms were triggered,
you're halfway around the world.

And yet you called
the security company?

How did you know
there was a problem?

I got an alert to my phone.

That our nine-month-old
son, Bentley, was crying.

- Is that unusual?
- No, he's nine months old.

No, the alert on your phone.

Our home system is programmed
to alert us when he cries.

What was unusual was that
the alert came from here.

Inside the house. But
Bentley was asleep.

Next to me in my venice hotel
suite five thousand miles away.

- How is that even possible?
- Am I the detective?

You tell me.

Alright. Thanks for your time.

Okay. Close your
eyes and make a wish.

Well? What'd you wish for?

You know it's bad luck to
talk about those things.

If all goes according to plan,

Hopefully you'll be
making a different wish.

On your next birthday,
because you won't be wearing.

- That ankle monitor.
- I just don't ever want to see.

- You wearing one of these things.
- I know what I'm doing, dad.

- You worry too much.
- I got a lotta time.

To do nothing but
worry. You know what?

Right now, I just want
to be here with you.

No bells, no buzzers, no timers.

Just three days with
my beautiful daughter.

And one of these
magnificent custard tarts.

Mmm...

My grandfather was the dean,
then my father and now me.

Enrollment in our school
is incredibly competitive,

Even for the legacy students.

Oh! We had a meeting,
didn't we, Chris?

- And I'm sorry.
- It's alright, Dana.

I know you have a
lot on your plate.

Detective Ellis, this
is Christopher day,

One of our finest educators.

Sadly, this is his last year.

Uh... Retiring, not dying.

I'm gonna finally
write that novel.

- Well, congratulations.
- Thank you.

I just wanted to confirm my
use of the Hewitt auditorium.

For my hamlet rehearsals.

I had to re-book it
for an alumnus event.

Uh, I'm an alumnus.

A donor alumnus event.

Ah, I understand. Not a problem.

Thank you for
understanding, Chris.

May I say, I admired
your brother Daniel.

And all the work that he
did with at-risk youth.

I was very sorry to
hear of his passing.

- Thank you.
- He's the reason we became.

Aware of jj and his
exceptional gifts,

And gave him the scholarship.

If I may be completely
frank with you,

I have had concerns about jj.

- What kind of concerns?
- He hasn't adjusted well.

To life here at preswood.

Hasn't cultivated
new friendships here.

Respectfully, it's
hardly a surprise.

I mean, most of your
student body receive.

Luxury cars and penthouses
for their birthdays.

When my brother found jj,
he was living on the street,

He was basically homeless.

So yeah, it's been
quite the adjustment.

Have you voiced any of
these concerns with jj?

Our students go on to
become supreme court judges,

Politicians,
captains of industry.

This isn't the place
where everyone receives.

A participation trophy.

So that would be a no.

What more can I help you with?

I'd like to speak with
some of the students.

In jj's robotics class.

Well, you know I can't
legally allow you.

To speak to any of the students.

Without their
parents' permission.

You're the dean. I'm sure
you can work something out.

If you have any further
business on my campus,

I suggest you return
with a warrant.

Thank you, detective.

Thanks for your time.

Okay! No more custard tarts.

You're going to
spoil your dinner.

Your mother used to
say the same thing.

And you never listened
to her either.

I did on the important stuff.

She had an amazing nose.

For sniffing out people's bs.

That woman was always
two steps ahead of me.

Here's to mom.

If only she could see us now.

She'd be so proud of you, kiddo.

I need an intervention.

My dad's already eaten
three custard tarts.

- Stoolie.
- I know you're with your dad,

So I'm sorry to
interrupt, but, um...

No worries.

You have my divided attention.

- You remember jj?
- He was one of the kids.

That my brother
Daniel was helping?

- The kid from the boat?
- Exactly.

They just picked
him up for a b&e.

But I know he didn't do it.

And li's only giving me
24 hours to prove it.

And you're calling me because...

You're really going
to make me say it?

Oh yeah.

- Fine. I need you, max.
- Say it again.

- No.
- Okay. It was worth a shot.

- Just give me a minute.
- Why do I get the feeling.

You're about to cancel
our dinner date?

I know him, dad.
He needs my help.

He wouldn't ask if
it wasn't important.

- What is it?
- There's a kid.

That's in trouble.

I've got three days
with my daughter.

- And you call her to work?
- Look, George, I'm sorry,

- Okay, but this is...
- well, there's no way.

You're splitting us up. So
since there's two of us.

On the clock now, talk fast.

Uh, ma'am? Pardon me, ma'am,

Are you Beverly Janine standish?

- I'm sorry, who are you?
- My name is Theo Cornell.

I'm with the fraud department.

And I believe you've been
the victim of identity theft.

- Me? How?
- Did you make a purchase.

At a cosmetics
store this morning?

- I did.
- A lip pencil?

- Uh-huh.
- In Baja beige?

- Yes.
- Well, since then.

Someone has charged thousands.

Of dollars to your credit card,

Including two
business-class tickets.

To Singapore and a lemur.

Presumably, one of the
seats is for the lemur.

Oh, my lord!

You took the words
right out of my mouth.

- What do I do?
- Well, you need to take.

Immediate action. Drive
to 1162 Ambrose avenue.

Ask for agent Rachel sisco,

Quoting the case number...
Get your phone out.

Gx-78tx-1234... 6.

Come now, time is
of the essence.

I'm in shock.

This is not how I
expected today to go.

I know just how you feel.

The apple really doesn't fall
far from the tree, does it?

Take your seats, please.

I'm ms. Morrison, your
substitute teacher.

Get your butts in your seats,
shut your traps and buckle up.

Otherwise, it's a gonna
be one bumpy morning.

Okay... Brittany...

Vince...

Anne. Cute baby.

It's a school project.

Anne is the only one of
us who's going to pass it.

Your assignment is to
raise robot babies?

It's a health studies
and robotics project.

To simulate the real life
responsibility of raising a kid.

Mine's with their nanny.

Right. Okay.

We have one student that
seems to be missing.

- Jj?
- Because he got arrested.

- What happened?
- Barely knew him.

He's a charity case.

He's a good guy. And
he's really smart.

Jj didn't belong here.

- Right, Anne?
- Right, Brittany.

- Why didn't he belong here?
- Because he wasn't rich?

He may have the grades,

But he's swimming in
the wrong gene pool.

- That won't matter.
- Jj works harder than any of us.

- That's why he'll succeed.
- At being shady.

Anne. Tell her.

Jj's roommate saw him.

Sneaking out of his
dorm after curfew.

where was he going?

Sorry. I'm just gonna...

You're doing great.

Thanks.

So this is where
my baby girl works.

- She doesn't work here.
- She's on probation.

And why did we need to pick
up pastries on the way?

Well, when you're
invited somewhere,

It's rude to show
up empty-handed.

We're not exactly going
to a dinner party.

This is my daughter's
place of employment.

I want to make a good
first impression.

- Impression?
- You're wearing an ankle bracelet.

In a police station.

- Yates? Anything?
- Nada.

If this kid left his
dorm room at night,

He must have done it by
teleporting out of there.

- Who's that?
- George graham.

Max's father.
Pleasure to meet you.

Oh, well, look-y here.

Now we get to see where
the crimin' began.

Custard tart?

Yes, I love me a custard tart.

Mmm! Mm-hmm.

You know, you're
probably an extremely.

Untrustworthy individual,

But I'm very okay
with you right now.

- Told you.
- So I pulled every b&e.

In the last three months and
found two with the exact.

Same mo. Security footage
knocked out by a drone,

- Alarms disabled.
- Damn it.

You may not want to hear this,
but the kid might have done it.

Max told me jj's been sneaking
out of his dorm room at night.

Not according to this.

You got something you wanna say?

If I may... Just watch
closely right here.

You see right there?
Every 90 seconds,

That cup stands up on its own...

- The video is on a loop.
- Yeah?

Jj. We have your laptop.

Okay? Our computer crimes
department knows that you.

Hacked into the campus'
security system.

And inserted that loop.

Why?

I didn't rob anyone.

Great.

So then tell me where
you were last night.

Jj... We don't have a
lot of time here, okay?

And if they kick your
case back to the courts...

I can't help you anymore.

Look, you called me, remember?

Do you believe me?

If you don't believe me,
then what's the point?

Look, I do believe you,
jj, but they don't.

So just tell me
what you're hiding.

I told you everything I can.

So are you gonna tell
me what happened,

Or just sit there
in moody silence?

So the constant chatter
is a family trait.

We banter with the best of them.

- Now spill!
- There's nothing to spill.

Okay? You can't help with this.

- What are you talking about?
- I've already helped.

Did you already forget my
award-winning performance.

As Theo Cornell, fraud
department manager.

- And pisces?
- Pisces?

- Pisces. That's his sign.
- I go method with my characters.

I appreciate your very
unique way of helping, okay?

But this kid's in some
real trouble, George.

Well, I know kids.

Right...

How many kids have you raised?

Exactly. I've done the
diapers, the feedings,

The terrible twos,

Which are actually
terrible fours,

Two is a breeze. I've
been around that.

Merry-go-round, man, and I
will until the day I die.

I can be your parenting guru.

Alright, fine, yes,
George, technically,

You are a parent, yes, but
I mean, come on, not really.

- Pardon?
- Look, my dad was far.

From perfect, alright? But
we had structure, stability.

There was rules,
we followed them.

He was... He was my dad.

I mean, you and max
are more like...

- Like what?
- Like partners in crime.

- Literally.
- You say that like.

It's a bad thing.

Do you remember the first time
you had your heart broken?

- Yeah, sure. Why?
- Tell me about it.

I was 11 years old.

She was sitting right
in front of me in class,

And I finally got the
guts to ask her out...

- She said no?
- No, she said yes.

But... It was only because
she wanted to date my friend.

Who she already had
a crush on. Ouch.

Yeah.

So who'd you talk about it with?

I don't think I talked
to anybody about it.

Max's first heartbreak.

Was a little french
kid named francois.

I remember the day that
she ran home to tell us.

That they'd kissed
in the playground.

And that she thought it
was gross, but also nice.

Then the next week, he
fell in love with Juliette.

The butcher's daughter.

Max came home devastated.

So we stayed up all
night watching movies,

Then we stayed in
bed all weekend.

Eating ice cream and cake.

And laughing and crying...

Until she got over it.

Yes, it's true, I was in
cote d'azur running a con.

But I didn't miss one
important milestone.

Of my daughter's
entire childhood.

How many parents can say that?

Look, George, I'm
not trying to say.

That you're a bad father,
alright? I can tell.

You love max very
much. But look,

You got to choose this life.

Did she?

You know, max's dad
may be a criminal,

But the man knows his pastries.

- What's wrong?
- Nothing.

- Don't give me nothing.
- You got that look in your eye.

- What look?
- The look that says.

Something's not right.
An hour from now,

You're gonna be grumpy,
and you're not gonna.

Pay for lunch at the
good kebab place,

- And it's your turn.
- It's this case.

Ellis is hell-bent on
proving this kid's innocence.

- Okay, so what?
- You're worried about him?

- Yeah.
- You're worried that.

- He's getting too emotional?
- Yes, I am.

Which is getting you emotional.

You see the irony here?

Just wanna make sure
this kid is not.

Trying to take advantage of him.

Yeah, well...

There's not much you can do
about Ellis. He is who he is.

Gimme that.

Okay, well, now that's.

Two meals you owe me, so...

Go ahead. My partner
says they're delicious.

I'm detective Simmons.

Ellis used to be my partner.

- Used to be?
- Things change.

- Yeah, they do.
- So Ellis was the first person.

You wanted to talk to. Why him?

His brother, Daniel, always
used to tell me that,

Um... If I was in trouble
and I couldn't reach him,

To call Ellis.

Okay. Were you
close with Daniel?

Yeah, I was. Most of
the social workers,

They didn't care.
But... Daniel did.

He was a good guy.

Yeah. Ellis has that in
common with his brother.

Which is why I want to make
sure you're not trying.

To take advantage of him.

- What...
- What's that supposed to mean?

Anything to do with Daniel,

Ellis will go to the
ends of the earth.

So when you talk to him, and
you pull the brother card...

- You think I'm scamming him?
- You tell me.

Man, I'm so tired of this!

Seriously! What's the
point of telling the truth.

If no one ever believes you?

You were the one that hacked
into the security system.

And won't tell anyone why.
So maybe think on that.

Thank you for the
food. But um...

I still can't tell you why
I hacked into the cameras.

- Listen, kid...
- If you're protecting somebody,

I hope they're worth it.

Look, I know jj's
hiding something.

Is he protecting someone?

- Maybe he's afraid of somebody.
- But who?

Well, these kids here are cruel.

Vince was the only one
that stood up for him.

- It's high school.
- Kids are always terrible.

This isn't your
normal high school.

They have robot babies.

There's this one girl, Anne,

Carries hers around
24 hours a day.

It burps, it cries, and
does other gross things.

Wait a minute.
You said it cries?

The homeowners from
the last robbery said.

That they got an alert
from their security system.

Because of a crying baby.

But their baby was
nowhere near the house.

These bionic bambinos
collect data.

Like gps?

To track quality
time with junior.

We need to get our hands
on that baby right now.

I'm gonna call li, see
if we can get a warrant.

The hell did my phone
go? Give me that.

I still got it.

Haven't missed a beat.

Hang up!

I can't let jj go to jail, max.

- We won't. I promise.
- Now put that phone away.

I'm gonna get us that baby.

oh!

Do you need help?

Oh, please, thanks.

If I keep bouncing her,
she'll stop crying.

At some point.

She'll... Stop crying.

I was a colicky baby.

My mom used to
lay me on a dryer.

And run it to get
me to calm down.

I don't really know
what kind of baby I was.

ugh, she reacts
to loud noises.

Why don't you just put
her down and take a break?

I can't. I need to get an a.

But after one more
week, it'll be over,

And I won't have to
deal with another baby.

Until I'm a
third-year associate.

Married to a surgery
resident I met at Harvard.

sounds fun.

Um, well, do you have parents
at home that can help you?

Oh, they're in Europe.

Or south america.
I can't remember.

Anne, this is what I think.

I admire your
commitment to this baby.

But I think you're
caring for it.

The way that you wished
you were cared for.

I know she's not a real baby,

But every time she cries,
my heart just breaks.

Okay, well, here's
what we're going to do.

You're going to
give me the baby.

And I'll care for it
the way you would.

- I can't.
- Oh, come on!

It takes a village, ask
any mom. You need a break.

thank you.

I wish you were
our real teacher.

I gotta go!

Carpe diem!

I doubt any of these kids.

Have ever seen
dead poets society.

hi, I'm Chris day.

- Ms. Morrison.
- I'm filling in for bev standish.

- Ah, nice to meet you.
- Be careful with that.

It's worth more than we are.

Oh. I'll protect
it with my life.

- Ricky, my boy!
- Good to see you, George.

Ha. Just like old times, right?

You two steal a lot
of babies together?

Don't be ridiculous.

- It was a pomeranian.
- A nasty little bugger.

- Swallowed a diamond.
- We had to get it out.

Okay, I don't need to hear
the rest of this story.

- Well, we didn't hurt the dog.
- We just fed it.

Lots of dairy and waited.
He was lactose intolerant.

- Just get in the car, Ricky.
- Come on! Let's go!

It all goes so fast.

You know, the one thing
they never tell you about?

The last day.

The last day?

Yeah. Well, for
years, you carry them,

Hold them, rock them, put
them on your shoulders,

Then one day you realize you'll
never pick them up again.

Suddenly they're too big.

And don't want to
be picked up by dad.

And it just hits you
like a ton of bricks.

They'll never need
you that way again.

You got any regrets?

George, look for a port.

This feels very wrong, Ricky.

Lord, please forgive me
for what I'm about to do.

- Belly button.
- Okay, I'm downloading.

All its coordinates.
This'll just be a minute.

uh-oh!

Got it, got it!

- What?
- I think he pooped.

We brought you in
because we know.

You were in the house
the night it was robbed.

How could you
possibly know that?

- Ms. Morrison?
- My name's max.

You were a good mom,
Anne. Maybe too good.

In fact, the gps data
from baby places you.

At all three of the robberies.

- Oh... I'm so tired.
- This can't be happening.

You don't have to talk
until a lawyer gets here.

No, no! This... It wasn't
supposed to be like this.

She... She said my parents
would be proud. She promised.

- Who promised?
- Brittany.

Was she at the houses with you?

Brittany, Vince and me...

We robbed the houses together.

Holy high school.
It's a bling ring!

Why did you rob the houses?

We had to.

How did you disable the alarms?

Traffic cams place your
car near all three scenes.

- We didn't do it.
- Oh, really?

'cause we have a confession
that says that you did.

They're from the
skull and key society.

So these letters are
asking you to commit.

Three different robberies.
They even give you everything.

You need to pull them off,
down to the addresses.

And alarm codes.

Yeah, we were chosen.

For what?

To join the skull
and key society.

You are way too young
for one of those parties.

It's the most exclusive
group there is.

My dad said if you get
picked for the skull and key,

Your future is guaranteed.

Judges, CEOs, diplomats,
heads of state;

Most of these people were
skull and key members.

If you're chosen,
you don't say no.

Even if it meant
committing a crime?

- Yes.
- What about jj?

Jj had no idea
what we were doing.

Did he ever give you
access to the drone?

No. No, we stole the drone.

And we always returned
it until it got stuck.

I-I swear to you,

Jj had absolutely
nothing to do with this.

These letters were an
initiation to the society.

Rob these houses and we'll
bring you into the fold.

Whoever sent these
letters to the kids.

Knew the codes
and what to steal.

We already checked: All
three houses have different.

- Security companies.
- There's a connection.

- Somewhere, find it.
- On it.

- Hey!
- Hey, um...

They said I could leave.

You're free to go,
yeah. Come with me,

I want to talk to
you for a second.

I'll be right back. Come on.

Come on, buddy.
Here, have a seat.

- You hungry?
- No, I'm good.

Anne, Brittany and Vince
admitted to all the robberies.

- Vince?
- Yeah, why?

No reason.

Well, if it means anything,

He was really adamant
about the fact.

You had nothing to do with this.

He was really sorry you
got caught up in it.

Now you're free to
go back to school,

But the dean can
still expel you.

- But I didn't do it.
- I know.

But you still hacked into
the campus' security system.

But if you tell me why,
maybe I can talk to the dean.

- It doesn't matter.
- It does matter, jj.

Because if she expels
you, I can't do anything.

For you at that point.

Thank you for your help.

You're welcome.

That officer will
take you home, okay?

- Okay.
- Take care.

- Wouldn't tell you?
- Nope.

- So what next?
- We need to find whoever.

Was sending those letters.

Here...

Well, the paper is real,

As is the stamp.

But these are forgeries.

How would you know that?

Because she's part of the
skull and key society.

Authentic letters are
handwritten in calligraphy.

And you didn't
send any of these?

Absolutely not.

First of all, I
don't need the money,

And secondly, skull
and key is not a game.

It is responsible for choosing
the leaders of tomorrow.

Based on the state
of this world,

You may want to
outsource that job.

Who else had access
to your office?

Well, there's over 500
staff and students here.

Any of them could
have slipped in.

Wait a minute. How can we be
sure that it wasn't the kids?

Because they're
not the criminals.

They're the marks.
The letters are part.

Of a sophisticated version
of the pigeon drop.

Dad's right. Classic play.

You lure the mark in with the
promise of a juicy carrot.

If they do a little
something in return.

it's Simmons.

He's got something.

The same two cleaners
worked at all three houses.

- That were robbed.
- So we've narrowed it down.

But wow do we flush
out the real thief?

We dangle our own carrot.

We?

Hi! You must be from lemon
goddess cleaning service.

I'm estelle and this is Teresa.

- Come on in.
- Thank you.

I guess I'll start by
giving you two the tour.

Where is my damn
chocolate pudding?!

And that's my
boss, shep garland.

He used to be a
famous music producer,

But he went a little crazy...
Also, I should let you know.

He spent too much time
next to the speakers.

So you'll need to speak up.

Who are these women?

These are the cleaners
you asked for.

Estelle and Teresa.

Hello, mr. Garland.

Nice to meet you, sir.

You know I was the
guy who told wham.

You have to wake up
before you go go!

Okay, we need to show
these ladies around.

We're leaving today.
You remember, shep?

Of course I remember!

I can recite the lyrics to
billy joel's the longest time.

Backwards and in six languages.

This nasty woman is
only after my millions.

She doesn't know it, but
I'm gonna fire her ass.

I can hear you, shep.

- Of course you can!
- You're always eavesdropping!

Did you tell them
about my special toys?

Did she tell you
about my special toys?

You'll never be the
same after you see them!

Follow me.

So I said to bon jovi, this
business is fickle, baby.

It's like every day,
we're livin' on a prayer.

And this is the media room.

- They can see that.
- They're professionals.

And this is where
I turn back time.

hear that noise?

What is it?

My automatic watch winder.

Mr. Garland has a
vintage watch collection.

Each one has to be
wound every day,

Or the lubricants will seize up.

That one right here has
an original hodenkroner.

Worth more than fifty grand.

It's been to the moon and
back with some astronaut.

I forget his name
now. This one here...

Ultra rare scheinflug classic.

1940's. Handmade by a
blind viennese watchmaker,

And last worn by queen
Annika of lichtenstein.

Before she went mad
and ate her brother.

- It's absolutely priceless.
- Whatever you do,

Don't turn the watch winder off.

No. These things
are like my babies.

I understand.

I'm glad somebody does.

Alright. This is the alarm
code and the door code.

The cleaning supplies are
in the utility closet.

We'll be back in
a couple of days.

- Thank you.
- Okay, shep, we need to go!

Otherwise, we're
gonna miss our flight.

I'm not a child. I
know what time it is.

- I've got six watches.
- Yes, sir.

Well done.

- Cheers!
- Cheers!

There you go.

- Felt kind of silly...
- Pretending to rob a place.

We just had to have you guys
go through all the motions.

Just in case whoever's
doing this was watching.

Is jj gonna be okay?

I mean, is he really in trouble?

He did hack into the
campus's security feed.

It's the dean's decision. I
can't promise you anything,

But if we pull this off, I
think there's a good chance.

- You guys get cut some slack.
- I hope so.

For all of us, I mean.

Alright, kids! Phase one's
complete, time for phase two.

Whoa! They look so real.

No, no. Remember,
don't touch them.

At least not without gloves.

Okay... Let's see.

Might not stand up to
a jeweller's loupe.

- Doesn't need to.
- Just had to bait the hook.

Alright, it's go time.

Put the bag in the
usual drop spot.

We'll be right behind you, okay?

This has to work, you
guys. I'm not kidding.

Ellis, you're playing
with the a-team now.

The a-team? You're on parole.

And your dad's wearing
an ankle bracelet.

Ain't it great?

Alright. Finally. Here we go.

- False alarm.
- Patience, my children.

Patience.

- This is stupid.
- Let me see those.

- We've been here all night.
- No one is coming.

With two hundred grand worth
of watches waiting for pickup?

I doubt it.

Now shh...

I have to pee.

Hey, by the way, happy birthday.

Thanks. It's been great.

Getting back into action...
With a cop no less?

Incoming!

Alright, let's move!

Stop! Police!

- Gotcha!
- Ah! What's going on!?

I'm just the trash collector.

- It's not in here.
- You don't think...

The old Baltimore side shuffle?

What is it?

Yeah... The bag was slit open,

The watches taken out,
and the bag was re-tied.

How is that possible?

Help me tip this over.

False bottom.

We've been out-conned.

Oh-ho-ho! Wait till li
hears about this one.

Okay, now, I really gotta pee.

- Ow!
- Sorry, Ellis.

The watches could
be anywhere by now.

Actually, I think I know
exactly where they are.

Ah! There you are, Chris!

The auditorium became
free after all.

So let's talk scheduling.

- Wonderful.
- Mm.

Oh... Dana, what's happening?

- Police.
- Whoa, whoa.

- What's this?
- Caught red-handed.

Or should I say, glow-handed.

Yeah, I cut myself on that
false bottom, just like you did.

I noticed your
bandage when we met.

Hey! I traced that
hole in the ground.

To the basement boiler room.
It must be an old steam vent.

- Who are you?
- I'm her old man.

It was my idea to
spray the watches.

With black light paint.

- I can explain...
- Which one of the cleaners.

- Was in on it with you?
- My sister estelle.

Had nothing to do with
this. I swear to god.

She keeps a notebook
with the alarm codes.

And a list of special
valuables. I just copied them.

Chris... You're about to retire.

Why would you do
something so foolish?

My parents worked two jobs each.

So I could attend preswood.

And for what? An
elite education?

No! It's about the connections.

My classmates went on to
become CEOs and politicians.

While I spent 20 years
teaching their entitled spawn.

Just so I can retire
with a pension.

That doesn't even
cover my groceries!

And you knew those
kids would do anything.

To get into skull and key.

You know, my daughter
and I pulled a few scams.

In our time, but one
thing we would never do.

Is use children to do
our dirty work for us.

You, sir, are despicable.

Cuff this man so I can take
my dad for breakfast, please.

Max, wait!

You knew how important
this was to me,

And you really came
through. Thanks.

No problem.

- Take care of yourself, George.
- Yeah.

The dean's not
going to expel you.

In fact, she wants your
input into how to make.

- The place more inclusive.
- Are you serious?

- Yeah!
- That's great, man.

What's going to happen
to the rest of the kids?

They got let off with warnings,

But honestly, I think
they're more of afraid.

Of their parents than
the cops right now.

Yeah.

- Can you give me a sec?
- Jj? Can we talk?

I heard you were
down here. It's nice.

What do you want, Vince?

Look, man, I'm sorry
I used your drone,

But I never thought any of this
was gonna come back to you.

Well, it did.

So, um, thanks for
nothing. Yeah...?

And, uh...

Thanks for not telling
them why you changed.

The security footage.

I just need some time before
I tell my parents about me.

And... And about us.

There is no us anymore, Vince.

So... It was Vince you were
sneaking off to see at night.

He's not out.

Wasn't my place to say.

You're a man of your word.

I'm proud of you.

Daniel would be
really proud of you.

- You know what?
- He'd be real proud of you too.

For trying to fix up
his boat. "Trying"?

- What do you mean, trying?
- I mean trying.

Listen, you give
me one of these,

And I will show
you how it's done.

- Oh yeah?
- Old man.

Okay, let me see what you got.

Okay. Old man?

that's not how you sand.

Come on. Just lean into it.

- There you go.
- Is that good?

- Yeah.
- There you go.

Thanks for the best birthday
a father could ask for.

Almost felt like the old days.

You know, um, seeing those kids,

Their life on campus,
it got me thinking...

If we'd sent you to a
school like preswood,

Maybe you'd be a doctor
now or something instead.

- Dad...
- Our life was our life.

And it became your
life too. I just...

Worry that sometimes, you
didn't really have a choice.

I had a choice.

And our life was the best
school that I ever could've had.

- And you were the best teacher.
- Well...

You're also the best dad, too.

So don't worry about it.

I'm proud of you, bug.

Thanks, dad.

I'll see you soon.
