The Gates s01e03 Episode Script
Breach
Monohan.
Residents are out of town? Williamsburg? No no no no, I'll take it.
I'll take it.
Yep.
Everything ok? Yeah, a burglary on Williamsburg.
I guess it's a rare occurence.
Well Jane, you're giving no notice.
What do you expect me to do? Well, you know, maybe if he got a job, he wouldn't have to move in! No.
No, I'm not calling your boyfriend a loser.
I just think that - Hello? - What's going on? Uh, my roommate just kicked me out so her boyfriend could move in.
What? She can't do that.
Well, the lease is in her name.
She can do that.
I'm shooting back-to-back weddings this weekend, and then school portraits all next week.
When am I gonna find an apartment? Well, maybe you won't have to.
Look, it'll just be temporary till you find a place.
Hello? Okay, I'm on my way.
Chief needs me.
I gotta go.
- No.
- I gotta go.
Think about it.
And then say yes.
Come here, you.
Be good.
- Evening, chief.
- Hey.
Any signs of life? - No.
- Who lives here? The McAllisters, but they're Yeah, they're registered out of town.
Uh, chief, we can't go into a house without owner permission.
It's Gates policy.
What do you suggest we do, Marcus? Pull up a chair and wait? I'll cover the back.
Freeze! Freeze! Freeze! Put your hands up! Mr.
McAllister.
That's Mr.
McAllister! That's Mr.
McAllister.
We thought you were out of town.
Jesus, what is it with these people? I am sorry about the confusion.
Yes, well, we just got back about an hour ago.
But regardless, gentlemen, Gates policy clearly states I am aware of The Gates policy.
It's pretty hard to get permission, though, if you're tied up and your home's being ransacked.
We registered a silent alarm at the station.
When we got here, we heard breaking glass.
Well, last time I checked, clumsiness was not a crime.
Now, if you don't mind, we've had a long trip.
Yeah.
Again, my apologies for the confusion.
We'll see ourselves out.
It's okay.
They're gone.
Hey, chief.
Hey.
Anything with McAllister? Uh, no formal complaint.
I'm gonna writing it up as a false alarm.
Which leads me to believe there's something wrong with the system.
I'm the designated on-site manager.
So you'll take care of it.
No, I'll take care of her.
She's complicated, like a woman.
They have a special relationship.
Perfect.
Well, how about later? You're fully booked until closing? Can you call me if you have any cancellations? Okay, thank you.
Are we going out? Yeah, we're trying to.
Gerald Crouse, the venture capitalist, he is in town with his wife at the weekend.
I can't get a reservation anywhere.
Well, why we host them here? I'll cook.
Mm, they're real foodies.
Are you sure you're up to it? It'll be good for me.
A project.
And I promise you, they will love it.
I made these for the school bake sale.
Mm.
And that one's gluten-free.
I love you.
Hey.
Hey, Brett.
Oh, look, I just want to sort of explain what I said the other day.
I I heard what you said.
I mean, I understood the words, if if that's what you mean.
I know you understood the words.
You said you loved me.
Look, Andie, you're a really smart girl, and you're great with words, and I actually find that really hot.
But I think those words just freaked you out, and I think you've been avoiding me ever since.
No.
No, I've just been super busy.
That's all.
Andie, if I would have thought that those words were gonna drive us apart, I never would have said them.
You're what's important to me, the way that I feel when I'm with you, so Just forget I said it.
Uh, forget it? Yeah, I mean, I j jumped the gun, obviously.
Are we good? I'll see you at lunch.
Hey, Andie! Hi.
Okay.
Who you hidin' from? The guy who told you he loves you, or the guy you made out with in the woods? Okay, I did not make out with Charlie.
It was one kiss.
It was one hot kiss, or or so you said.
Wait a second.
Brett doesn't know, does he? No.
Thank God.
Mia, what am I gonna do? Okay.
You keep seeing your situation as a triangle you, Brett, and hot kiss.
But it isn't not yet at least.
Charlie's a variable.
Brett's a given.
Just figure out what you want to do about Brett.
Once you do, Charlie's relative value will become apparent.
Mia, you're a genius.
E excuse me.
Hi, I'm I'm Sarah Monohan.
And this is my fudge.
Oh, I am so pleased to meet you.
Karen Crezski.
Hi.
Is this your first? First fudge or first fundraiser? 'Cause, actually, I've done plenty of both, so Well, I am so grateful for your help.
Now I do have just a couple of rules that will help this go a lot smoother.
I'll take the lead early on, wrapping the purchases and making change.
And then, after a few hours, if you feel ready, we'll switch.
Great.
Ow.
Now, that's tempting, isn't it? Christian.
Hello, Claire.
What are you doing here? I'm shopping, just like you.
I saw you in the frozen-foods section.
Followed you out.
It's good to see you.
Good to see you, too.
So, I hear you're living in The Gates.
Yes.
Dylan and I have been there for a few years now.
How's life on the preserve? It's quite nice, actually.
It's quiet, safe.
That doesn't sound like you.
People change.
Yeah, well, people do, but We don't.
Um, I should give you my card, and you can call me sometime.
I'd be great to catch up, you know, properly.
- We definitely have a problem.
- What is it? The McAllisters didn't accidentally trip their alarm.
Somebody hacked in and triggered it.
From outside The Gates? No, that's not possible.
We have an isolated system.
No link to an outside network.
This had to have been done from inside The Gates.
How are things with Andie? Great.
Not that it's any of your business.
Wow.
You're taking it well.
What? Andie kissing the new guy.
Happened a few days ago at the stable.
Where do you think you're going? - To talk to Andie.
- Really? Like the other night at the park? You talk to her now, you're gonna hurt her.
Feels like my head is gonna explode.
Run with us tonight.
It'll even you out.
I have a game tonight.
I can't.
I thought you said you were suspended.
I am.
I have to support the team from the bench.
It's the rule.
Dude, don't you think it's about time you started breaking some rules? "I and my heart put ourselves in your hands.
Begging you to recommend us to your good grace and not to let absence lessen your affection.
The pang of absence is already too great.
" It's hot stuff, huh? Now, remember, this was 1528 before the invention of texting.
And it really took a lot of guts for Henry to act on his feelings for Anne boleyn.
Um, excuse me, Mr.
Abernathy? Didn't Henry VIII have Anne Boleyn beheaded? Not for love.
For infidelity.
Many great loves come to a tragic end, but it doesn't mean they're not worth having.
Speaking of true love, I have a lunch date.
Thank you.
You ready to run? Let's go, Crezski.
Done.
I black-holed the source of the attack and I reset the encryption keys for our critical system.
Our security problem is solved.
You're a genius.
A sore genius.
I've got a date with my bathtub and a glass of red.
Hey, anybody want a snack? Thanks, Mrs.
Chief.
Rough bake sale? Yes.
Come here.
I just spent six hours with The Gates' answer to Martha Stewart.
She looked like she spent the whole freakin' day at the spa and it was 8:45 in the morning.
It's like she wasn't even human.
- You look great.
- Shut up.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
We just got an intruder alert on Carlsbad Road.
I thought you fixed this thing, Leigh.
I did.
So maybe it's a real break-in this time.
Okay, something's wrong.
There's one on flower and one on angelo.
If these are real break-ins, we got a problem.
Nothing stolen.
Yours? The family's been home watching tv all night.
20 alarms go off, so far 3 of them are busts.
There's obviously a glitch in the matrix.
So all these are false alarms.
You keep checking them out.
All of them? I mean, Gates policy states My policy states that if it doesn't add up, you check out the math.
And I want to know why this is happening.
Yes, sir.
The big guy with the tattoos in that bar? What, he's in Vegas? When was that, '61 or something? He wanted to put me to work in the parking lot.
Charmer.
Yeah, and he was waiting for you out there for, what, two hours later until you got to your car? And he got exactly what he deserved.
Mm.
Yeah.
Seems like another lifetime.
I don't know how you still do it.
I don't know how you don't.
I mean, frankly, life in The Gates seems a little Unnatural.
It's a little like a grizzly bear checking himself back into the zoo each night.
Well, we're a family now.
And with Emily, living out here would be just too dangerous.
The Gates are safe.
Too many rules for my taste.
Just one.
No feeding inside.
And what about outside The Gates? Well, Dylan and I have decided to not feed at all.
He gets us all the blood that we need from his lab.
Oh, come on.
It's not really the same, is it? Life is about compromises.
And I've made my choices and I'm happy.
I'm very happy with my life.
Well, you must be.
You said it twice.
20 houses, 20 false alarms, but I'm not gonna say I told you so.
My feet are killing me.
We got 6 calls in the last 10 minutes, home burglaries all on Lovington.
- You got to be kidding me.
- The real deal? Not a single alarm went off.
This whole thing's been a diversion.
- We've been played.
- Okay, so, what are we gonna do? We're gonna catch this guy, 'cause chances are he's still here.
Put all this security equipment to work for us.
I want cameras up, lights on, gates shut.
I want every car checked thoroughly.
I'm ordering a full lockdown of The Gates.
Now.
This is Brett.
Leave a message.
Whoo! Dude, did I tell you? Okay.
That was awesome.
That cleared my head right out.
Where's Lexie? Waiting for my underwear.
Guess you can take the wolf out of the girl.
Yeah.
So, are you finally gonna dump her? I'm gonna talk to her.
You're kidding yourself, man.
You care to join us? There's no nosy neighbors here, Claire.
What are our totals? 23 houses report break-ins and robberies so far.
All from families that were away at the football game.
- What about vehicle searches? - Nothing so far.
We're short on manpower, so it's taking forever.
By the way, Buckley's called for you four times.
People are starting to freak.
Don't worry about Buckley.
Just keep on it.
They'll be much happier when we catch this guy.
Yeah, that was the Whitfields.
Their house got hit.
So did your guest house.
Go.
Go.
Go, go, go.
Hey, what the hell? It's not working.
No, guys, we we got to get back inside.
If I'm late, my mom will know I ditched the football game.
Okay, um, okay, you see those four branches over there? If I hit it just right, the cameras will never see me.
So you're gonna jump? You got a better idea? Okay, once I'm over, I'll open the gate.
Nice! Let's go.
Hurry.
Go! Oh, my God.
- What time did you get in last night? - About 11:30.
What, you're out till 11:30 grocery shopping? 'Course not.
It took forever to get back through the main gate.
It was the only one that was open.
Well, I waited up for you.
And when I tried your phone, it was off.
It wasn't off.
It was dead.
Because someone forgot to return my car charger the last time he borrowed it.
Why do I get the feeling you're giving me the third degree? If you don't believe me look for yourself.
Finally.
Now, what do you think? Yeah, it's perfect.
I'll make sure the charger gets back in your car.
Mind telling me the nature of your business in The Gates? I was installing an entertainment unit in Ms.
Stanton's bathroom.
- In her bathroom? - That's where she wants it, that's where I put it.
Is that why you were there so late, Mr.
Abernathy? You ever grade 36 history midterms? I need a vacation.
You know, teaching high school wasn't exactly my first career choice.
Yeah.
What was? Personal escort.
So, what's in the bag? So I'm gonna write "physical therapist.
" Marcus Jordan.
Yep, Marcus Jordan.
Um, he he does work here, doesn't he? Yeah, so, you moved in with him when? Today.
But we've been dating for a while.
What's "a while"? - A w - A week.
And she is my girlfriend.
- Hi.
- Hi.
So, why was your car full of crap heading out of The Gates? Because we had to make room.
That was my stuff, and she was donating it for me.
I asked her to.
Thank you, by the way.
Yeah, of course.
Actually, can I talk to you for a second, please? What is going on with you? The Gates gets tossed the same day your new fling moves in.
- Okay.
- Don't you find that somehow suspicious? No, I don't, okay? I know her.
A week.
Leigh.
Peg Thank you so much for coming.
There's no way I could have left with everything that's going on.
How long ago was it taken? At least 12 hours.
Okay, this should help with the pain, but if you're separated from it for too long I know.
Leigh.
Marcus, the lockdown stays until we find this guy.
What else you got? Okay, so, I've been going over the logs, and somebody used the Saint George street pedestrian gate just a few minutes before those first false alarms went off.
So then I checked the security-cam footage from a couple hours before and after those robberies and found this guy.
It's a letterman's jacket.
- Good.
Who's the coach of the football team? - Coach Ross.
All right, you call coach Ross.
I want to find out which one of his players wasn't at the game last night.
Charlie! Avoid the vanilla.
It tastes like feet.
Hey.
What's up? Uh, waiting for Brett.
We were supposed to meet half an hour ago, but, uh, I think I've been stood up.
Probably just late.
Want me to keep you company until he gets here? Chief Monohan, if this is about the burglaries last night, I assure you Brett had nothing to do with it.
He was at the football game.
There must be 300 witnesses.
Actually, that's why I called you in here.
Coach Ross said that you weren't at the game last night.
Well, of course he was.
He left for the team bus at 6:30.
Brett, were you at the game last night? No.
But you told me that you Mom, he wasn't gonna put me in.
And I didn't feel like riding the bus for an hour just to sit on the bench.
Well, one of our security cameras picked up what looks like a person wearing a letterman's jacket.
So if you weren't at the game and you weren't at home, where were you? I was riding bikes on Harrison with some guys.
What guys? Lukas Ford, Brandon Cooper, and some others.
That's not exactly an ironclad alibi.
Mr.
Abernathy, our history teacher he saw us.
Check.
Abernathy.
All right.
All right, well, then that's it, then.
Thank you for coming down.
Thank you.
Man, I laughed all day.
Nearly fell off my horse during lessons.
Well, at least you have an excuse for falling off.
All I have are bruises.
Charlie, um, I'm sorry.
I I shouldn't have kissed you when Brett and I are Actually, I don't know what Brett and I are.
Maybe that tells you something right there.
Andie, you know how I feel about you.
But if you and Brett are still going to be together, then you just need to tell me.
I just need some time to figure things out.
Karen, hi! Hello, Sarah.
You're grounded.
Give me your phone.
You're not leaving the house for a month.
For skipping a game? Come on, mom.
This isn't about football, and you know it.
You went running, didn't you? How many times? This was the first.
You could have been killed.
Mom, I'm not stupid.
There weren't any hunters.
That's what they thought.
I don't know what's going on with you, but I will not let what happened to your father and Jeremy Happen to you.
Well, I hope everybody likes tarte tatin.
- Mm.
- Uh.
Oh.
Claire, this is incredible.
Well, don't speak too soon.
You haven't tried it yet.
Well, what he's really trying to say is, "see, Lauren? Some wives actually cook meals and not just defrost them.
" Well, I wouldn't think you'd have the time, since she runs half the company.
Look, I told Gerald years ago, if you're looking for someone to cook, you married the wrong woman.
I can't even make toast.
Some people were born with the homemaker gene and some weren't.
Looks like you won.
I should go and get some more wine.
Yes, wine.
Wine.
Look, I I know this hasn't been easy.
But I have to agree with them.
You have pulled this off brilliantly.
I was happy to do it.
You know, I never should have doubted you.
That was unfair.
Whatever you're doing is working.
I feel like I've got the old Claire back.
And that's a good thing? Yes, of course it is.
Hey, you have got to back off Teresa, okay? Please.
Okay, Marcus, I've checked her out, all right? She has not a single traffic ticket on record, her credit score is spotless, and she has no employment record whatsoever.
Okay, so she is a safe driver and she pays her credit cards on time.
Oh, my God.
You're jealous.
What? Y you're the one who's always saying there's no such thing as love.
And and that's why you're so suspicious.
Because you have absolutely no idea what this is like.
You are so wrong.
- Really? - Yeah.
Everything okay? Yes, sir.
Brett's alibi checked out.
Abernathy saw them riding bikes in the parking lot on Harrison.
- Uh, that's weird.
- Why? Well, I've seen those kids.
They don't ride in the parking lot.
They ride at the north end of Harrison by the delivery gate.
There's fewer cars.
Show me.
Sir.
I was thinking next year we could post our ingredients lists.
'Cause there were a lot of moms asking me about peanut cross-contamination.
And I had no idea what to tell them.
I know he told you.
Nick? He didn't tell me anything.
We actually never talk about his work, so Karen, i if you don't want to talk about this, you you don't have to.
Brett was called in for questioning about the burglaries.
Of course, he didn't have anything to do with them.
But I found out he's been lying to me.
This is all my fault.
Well, how is this your fault? You know, I've never been to one of his games.
Not one.
I tried to get my schedule changed at work, but Balancing work and children? I I tried to do it for a little while after Dana was born, but then there was no way.
I'm not complaining.
I'll do whatever it takes to make sure that Brett grows up here, safe.
I know he misses his father and his brother.
Losing them was so hard on him, on both of us.
Karen, I had no idea.
I'm so sorry.
They were killed in a hunting accident.
God, I don't know why I'm dredging all that up.
I'm sorry.
No, listen, don't be.
'Re both mothers of teenage boys here.
I mean, we're kind of in this together.
Thank you, Sarah.
Sure.
Homeowners' association is always bugging about concrete repairs, but I figure it keeps the kids out of trouble.
Well, I doubt Abernathy was out here jumping his bike.
Why was he here? Why was he here? Call off the lockdown.
Stop the vehicle searches.
I want the exits and the entrances all reopened.
I want everything back to normal.
And get me the pick-up schedule for these courier services.
Why? I know how he did it.
Westport courier.
Mr.
Abernathy.
Wow.
Looks like you'll be taking that vacation you wanted.
Andie.
I am so sorry about yesterday.
It's a long story.
I'm just glad you're here, 'cause we really need to talk.
I know.
We do.
Maybe you should go first.
Brett, I don't think we should see each other anymore.
When you said you loved me I couldn't say it back.
I wanted to, but I couldn't.
And I still can't.
This is about Charlie.
And it has been ever since he showed up.
That's not true.
I know you kissed him.
Yes, I did.
And and that was wrong, but that's not what this is about.
I care about you, Brett.
But it's not love, and that's what you deserve.
This is gonna take forever.
So, how does a history teacher hack into our security grid? Because he is also a computer-science teacher.
Only the school already had somebody doing that, so He spent six months figuring out the system six months mostly during lunch and study hall.
All to impress a girl.
Yeah, well People do all sorts of crazy things for love.
You know what? I got this.
You go home to your girlfriend.
- Are you serious? - Yeah.
Yeah.
And I'm sorry.
I was wrong about Teresa.
And if you're happy, then I'm happy.
- We don't have to hug.
- Copy.
I owe you one, Turner.
I do.
Hey.
Um, Dana let me in.
Oh, great.
What's up? You were right.
I had to make a decision.
I broke up with Brett.
Andie, I'm sorry.
That must have been really hard.
Yeah, y you know, it was.
But it's the right thing to do.
It's just the way I feel when I'm with you I never felt that with Brett.
So what do we do now? I I kind of want to see what happens - if if you do.
- Yeah.
I do.
Yeah, man! Oow! What are you doing here? I dumped the girl.
You did the right thing.
Are ready to run? Let's go.
Yeah! Let's go.
Who are you? You took something of mine.
Look, I made bail, and and everything's been returned, all right? Did you open it? Oh, so that was yours.
I knew there was something weird about that place, but I had no idea how weird.
You stole from the wrong people, Mr.
Abernathy.
Look, here's the deal, okay? As long as all the charges against me are dropped, I'll take all your secrets to the grave with me.
I am so sorry.
But I have to make sure of that.
Residents are out of town? Williamsburg? No no no no, I'll take it.
I'll take it.
Yep.
Everything ok? Yeah, a burglary on Williamsburg.
I guess it's a rare occurence.
Well Jane, you're giving no notice.
What do you expect me to do? Well, you know, maybe if he got a job, he wouldn't have to move in! No.
No, I'm not calling your boyfriend a loser.
I just think that - Hello? - What's going on? Uh, my roommate just kicked me out so her boyfriend could move in.
What? She can't do that.
Well, the lease is in her name.
She can do that.
I'm shooting back-to-back weddings this weekend, and then school portraits all next week.
When am I gonna find an apartment? Well, maybe you won't have to.
Look, it'll just be temporary till you find a place.
Hello? Okay, I'm on my way.
Chief needs me.
I gotta go.
- No.
- I gotta go.
Think about it.
And then say yes.
Come here, you.
Be good.
- Evening, chief.
- Hey.
Any signs of life? - No.
- Who lives here? The McAllisters, but they're Yeah, they're registered out of town.
Uh, chief, we can't go into a house without owner permission.
It's Gates policy.
What do you suggest we do, Marcus? Pull up a chair and wait? I'll cover the back.
Freeze! Freeze! Freeze! Put your hands up! Mr.
McAllister.
That's Mr.
McAllister! That's Mr.
McAllister.
We thought you were out of town.
Jesus, what is it with these people? I am sorry about the confusion.
Yes, well, we just got back about an hour ago.
But regardless, gentlemen, Gates policy clearly states I am aware of The Gates policy.
It's pretty hard to get permission, though, if you're tied up and your home's being ransacked.
We registered a silent alarm at the station.

Well, last time I checked, clumsiness was not a crime.
Now, if you don't mind, we've had a long trip.
Yeah.
Again, my apologies for the confusion.
We'll see ourselves out.
It's okay.
They're gone.
Hey, chief.
Hey.
Anything with McAllister? Uh, no formal complaint.
I'm gonna writing it up as a false alarm.
Which leads me to believe there's something wrong with the system.
I'm the designated on-site manager.
So you'll take care of it.
No, I'll take care of her.
She's complicated, like a woman.
They have a special relationship.
Perfect.
Well, how about later? You're fully booked until closing? Can you call me if you have any cancellations? Okay, thank you.
Are we going out? Yeah, we're trying to.
Gerald Crouse, the venture capitalist, he is in town with his wife at the weekend.
I can't get a reservation anywhere.
Well, why we host them here? I'll cook.
Mm, they're real foodies.
Are you sure you're up to it? It'll be good for me.
A project.
And I promise you, they will love it.
I made these for the school bake sale.
Mm.
And that one's gluten-free.
I love you.
Hey.
Hey, Brett.
Oh, look, I just want to sort of explain what I said the other day.
I I heard what you said.
I mean, I understood the words, if if that's what you mean.
I know you understood the words.
You said you loved me.
Look, Andie, you're a really smart girl, and you're great with words, and I actually find that really hot.
But I think those words just freaked you out, and I think you've been avoiding me ever since.
No.
No, I've just been super busy.
That's all.
Andie, if I would have thought that those words were gonna drive us apart, I never would have said them.
You're what's important to me, the way that I feel when I'm with you, so Just forget I said it.
Uh, forget it? Yeah, I mean, I j jumped the gun, obviously.
Are we good? I'll see you at lunch.
Hey, Andie! Hi.
Okay.
Who you hidin' from? The guy who told you he loves you, or the guy you made out with in the woods? Okay, I did not make out with Charlie.
It was one kiss.
It was one hot kiss, or or so you said.
Wait a second.
Brett doesn't know, does he? No.
Thank God.
Mia, what am I gonna do? Okay.
You keep seeing your situation as a triangle you, Brett, and hot kiss.
But it isn't not yet at least.
Charlie's a variable.
Brett's a given.
Just figure out what you want to do about Brett.
Once you do, Charlie's relative value will become apparent.
Mia, you're a genius.
E excuse me.
Hi, I'm I'm Sarah Monohan.
And this is my fudge.
Oh, I am so pleased to meet you.
Karen Crezski.
Hi.
Is this your first? First fudge or first fundraiser? 'Cause, actually, I've done plenty of both, so Well, I am so grateful for your help.
Now I do have just a couple of rules that will help this go a lot smoother.
I'll take the lead early on, wrapping the purchases and making change.
And then, after a few hours, if you feel ready, we'll switch.
Great.
Ow.
Now, that's tempting, isn't it? Christian.
Hello, Claire.
What are you doing here? I'm shopping, just like you.
I saw you in the frozen-foods section.
Followed you out.
It's good to see you.
Good to see you, too.
So, I hear you're living in The Gates.
Yes.
Dylan and I have been there for a few years now.
How's life on the preserve? It's quite nice, actually.
It's quiet, safe.
That doesn't sound like you.
People change.
Yeah, well, people do, but We don't.
Um, I should give you my card, and you can call me sometime.
I'd be great to catch up, you know, properly.
- We definitely have a problem.
- What is it? The McAllisters didn't accidentally trip their alarm.
Somebody hacked in and triggered it.
From outside The Gates? No, that's not possible.
We have an isolated system.
No link to an outside network.
This had to have been done from inside The Gates.
How are things with Andie? Great.
Not that it's any of your business.
Wow.
You're taking it well.
What? Andie kissing the new guy.
Happened a few days ago at the stable.
Where do you think you're going? - To talk to Andie.
- Really? Like the other night at the park? You talk to her now, you're gonna hurt her.
Feels like my head is gonna explode.
Run with us tonight.
It'll even you out.
I have a game tonight.
I can't.
I thought you said you were suspended.
I am.
I have to support the team from the bench.
It's the rule.
Dude, don't you think it's about time you started breaking some rules? "I and my heart put ourselves in your hands.
Begging you to recommend us to your good grace and not to let absence lessen your affection.
The pang of absence is already too great.
" It's hot stuff, huh? Now, remember, this was 1528 before the invention of texting.
And it really took a lot of guts for Henry to act on his feelings for Anne boleyn.
Um, excuse me, Mr.
Abernathy? Didn't Henry VIII have Anne Boleyn beheaded? Not for love.
For infidelity.
Many great loves come to a tragic end, but it doesn't mean they're not worth having.
Speaking of true love, I have a lunch date.
Thank you.
You ready to run? Let's go, Crezski.
Done.
I black-holed the source of the attack and I reset the encryption keys for our critical system.
Our security problem is solved.
You're a genius.
A sore genius.
I've got a date with my bathtub and a glass of red.
Hey, anybody want a snack? Thanks, Mrs.
Chief.
Rough bake sale? Yes.
Come here.
I just spent six hours with The Gates' answer to Martha Stewart.
She looked like she spent the whole freakin' day at the spa and it was 8:45 in the morning.
It's like she wasn't even human.
- You look great.
- Shut up.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
We just got an intruder alert on Carlsbad Road.
I thought you fixed this thing, Leigh.
I did.
So maybe it's a real break-in this time.
Okay, something's wrong.
There's one on flower and one on angelo.
If these are real break-ins, we got a problem.
Nothing stolen.
Yours? The family's been home watching tv all night.
20 alarms go off, so far 3 of them are busts.
There's obviously a glitch in the matrix.
So all these are false alarms.
You keep checking them out.
All of them? I mean, Gates policy states My policy states that if it doesn't add up, you check out the math.
And I want to know why this is happening.
Yes, sir.
The big guy with the tattoos in that bar? What, he's in Vegas? When was that, '61 or something? He wanted to put me to work in the parking lot.
Charmer.
Yeah, and he was waiting for you out there for, what, two hours later until you got to your car? And he got exactly what he deserved.
Mm.
Yeah.
Seems like another lifetime.
I don't know how you still do it.
I don't know how you don't.
I mean, frankly, life in The Gates seems a little Unnatural.
It's a little like a grizzly bear checking himself back into the zoo each night.
Well, we're a family now.
And with Emily, living out here would be just too dangerous.
The Gates are safe.
Too many rules for my taste.
Just one.
No feeding inside.
And what about outside The Gates? Well, Dylan and I have decided to not feed at all.
He gets us all the blood that we need from his lab.
Oh, come on.
It's not really the same, is it? Life is about compromises.
And I've made my choices and I'm happy.
I'm very happy with my life.
Well, you must be.
You said it twice.
20 houses, 20 false alarms, but I'm not gonna say I told you so.
My feet are killing me.
We got 6 calls in the last 10 minutes, home burglaries all on Lovington.
- You got to be kidding me.
- The real deal? Not a single alarm went off.
This whole thing's been a diversion.
- We've been played.
- Okay, so, what are we gonna do? We're gonna catch this guy, 'cause chances are he's still here.
Put all this security equipment to work for us.
I want cameras up, lights on, gates shut.
I want every car checked thoroughly.
I'm ordering a full lockdown of The Gates.
Now.
This is Brett.
Leave a message.
Whoo! Dude, did I tell you? Okay.
That was awesome.
That cleared my head right out.
Where's Lexie? Waiting for my underwear.
Guess you can take the wolf out of the girl.
Yeah.
So, are you finally gonna dump her? I'm gonna talk to her.
You're kidding yourself, man.
You care to join us? There's no nosy neighbors here, Claire.
What are our totals? 23 houses report break-ins and robberies so far.
All from families that were away at the football game.
- What about vehicle searches? - Nothing so far.
We're short on manpower, so it's taking forever.
By the way, Buckley's called for you four times.
People are starting to freak.
Don't worry about Buckley.
Just keep on it.
They'll be much happier when we catch this guy.
Yeah, that was the Whitfields.
Their house got hit.
So did your guest house.
Go.
Go.
Go, go, go.
Hey, what the hell? It's not working.
No, guys, we we got to get back inside.
If I'm late, my mom will know I ditched the football game.
Okay, um, okay, you see those four branches over there? If I hit it just right, the cameras will never see me.
So you're gonna jump? You got a better idea? Okay, once I'm over, I'll open the gate.
Nice! Let's go.
Hurry.
Go! Oh, my God.
- What time did you get in last night? - About 11:30.
What, you're out till 11:30 grocery shopping? 'Course not.
It took forever to get back through the main gate.
It was the only one that was open.
Well, I waited up for you.
And when I tried your phone, it was off.
It wasn't off.
It was dead.
Because someone forgot to return my car charger the last time he borrowed it.
Why do I get the feeling you're giving me the third degree? If you don't believe me look for yourself.
Finally.
Now, what do you think? Yeah, it's perfect.
I'll make sure the charger gets back in your car.
Mind telling me the nature of your business in The Gates? I was installing an entertainment unit in Ms.
Stanton's bathroom.
- In her bathroom? - That's where she wants it, that's where I put it.
Is that why you were there so late, Mr.
Abernathy? You ever grade 36 history midterms? I need a vacation.
You know, teaching high school wasn't exactly my first career choice.
Yeah.
What was? Personal escort.
So, what's in the bag? So I'm gonna write "physical therapist.
" Marcus Jordan.
Yep, Marcus Jordan.
Um, he he does work here, doesn't he? Yeah, so, you moved in with him when? Today.
But we've been dating for a while.
What's "a while"? - A w - A week.
And she is my girlfriend.
- Hi.
- Hi.
So, why was your car full of crap heading out of The Gates? Because we had to make room.
That was my stuff, and she was donating it for me.
I asked her to.
Thank you, by the way.
Yeah, of course.
Actually, can I talk to you for a second, please? What is going on with you? The Gates gets tossed the same day your new fling moves in.
- Okay.
- Don't you find that somehow suspicious? No, I don't, okay? I know her.
A week.
Leigh.
Peg Thank you so much for coming.
There's no way I could have left with everything that's going on.
How long ago was it taken? At least 12 hours.
Okay, this should help with the pain, but if you're separated from it for too long I know.
Leigh.
Marcus, the lockdown stays until we find this guy.
What else you got? Okay, so, I've been going over the logs, and somebody used the Saint George street pedestrian gate just a few minutes before those first false alarms went off.
So then I checked the security-cam footage from a couple hours before and after those robberies and found this guy.
It's a letterman's jacket.
- Good.
Who's the coach of the football team? - Coach Ross.
All right, you call coach Ross.
I want to find out which one of his players wasn't at the game last night.
Charlie! Avoid the vanilla.
It tastes like feet.
Hey.
What's up? Uh, waiting for Brett.
We were supposed to meet half an hour ago, but, uh, I think I've been stood up.
Probably just late.
Want me to keep you company until he gets here? Chief Monohan, if this is about the burglaries last night, I assure you Brett had nothing to do with it.
He was at the football game.
There must be 300 witnesses.
Actually, that's why I called you in here.
Coach Ross said that you weren't at the game last night.
Well, of course he was.
He left for the team bus at 6:30.
Brett, were you at the game last night? No.
But you told me that you Mom, he wasn't gonna put me in.
And I didn't feel like riding the bus for an hour just to sit on the bench.
Well, one of our security cameras picked up what looks like a person wearing a letterman's jacket.
So if you weren't at the game and you weren't at home, where were you? I was riding bikes on Harrison with some guys.
What guys? Lukas Ford, Brandon Cooper, and some others.
That's not exactly an ironclad alibi.
Mr.
Abernathy, our history teacher he saw us.
Check.
Abernathy.
All right.
All right, well, then that's it, then.
Thank you for coming down.
Thank you.
Man, I laughed all day.
Nearly fell off my horse during lessons.
Well, at least you have an excuse for falling off.
All I have are bruises.
Charlie, um, I'm sorry.
I I shouldn't have kissed you when Brett and I are Actually, I don't know what Brett and I are.
Maybe that tells you something right there.
Andie, you know how I feel about you.
But if you and Brett are still going to be together, then you just need to tell me.
I just need some time to figure things out.
Karen, hi! Hello, Sarah.
You're grounded.
Give me your phone.
You're not leaving the house for a month.
For skipping a game? Come on, mom.
This isn't about football, and you know it.
You went running, didn't you? How many times? This was the first.
You could have been killed.
Mom, I'm not stupid.
There weren't any hunters.
That's what they thought.
I don't know what's going on with you, but I will not let what happened to your father and Jeremy Happen to you.
Well, I hope everybody likes tarte tatin.
- Mm.
- Uh.
Oh.
Claire, this is incredible.
Well, don't speak too soon.
You haven't tried it yet.
Well, what he's really trying to say is, "see, Lauren? Some wives actually cook meals and not just defrost them.
" Well, I wouldn't think you'd have the time, since she runs half the company.
Look, I told Gerald years ago, if you're looking for someone to cook, you married the wrong woman.
I can't even make toast.
Some people were born with the homemaker gene and some weren't.
Looks like you won.
I should go and get some more wine.
Yes, wine.
Wine.
Look, I I know this hasn't been easy.
But I have to agree with them.
You have pulled this off brilliantly.
I was happy to do it.
You know, I never should have doubted you.
That was unfair.
Whatever you're doing is working.
I feel like I've got the old Claire back.
And that's a good thing? Yes, of course it is.
Hey, you have got to back off Teresa, okay? Please.
Okay, Marcus, I've checked her out, all right? She has not a single traffic ticket on record, her credit score is spotless, and she has no employment record whatsoever.
Okay, so she is a safe driver and she pays her credit cards on time.
Oh, my God.
You're jealous.
What? Y you're the one who's always saying there's no such thing as love.
And and that's why you're so suspicious.
Because you have absolutely no idea what this is like.
You are so wrong.
- Really? - Yeah.
Everything okay? Yes, sir.
Brett's alibi checked out.
Abernathy saw them riding bikes in the parking lot on Harrison.
- Uh, that's weird.
- Why? Well, I've seen those kids.
They don't ride in the parking lot.
They ride at the north end of Harrison by the delivery gate.
There's fewer cars.
Show me.
Sir.
I was thinking next year we could post our ingredients lists.
'Cause there were a lot of moms asking me about peanut cross-contamination.
And I had no idea what to tell them.
I know he told you.
Nick? He didn't tell me anything.
We actually never talk about his work, so Karen, i if you don't want to talk about this, you you don't have to.
Brett was called in for questioning about the burglaries.
Of course, he didn't have anything to do with them.
But I found out he's been lying to me.
This is all my fault.
Well, how is this your fault? You know, I've never been to one of his games.
Not one.
I tried to get my schedule changed at work, but Balancing work and children? I I tried to do it for a little while after Dana was born, but then there was no way.
I'm not complaining.
I'll do whatever it takes to make sure that Brett grows up here, safe.
I know he misses his father and his brother.
Losing them was so hard on him, on both of us.
Karen, I had no idea.
I'm so sorry.
They were killed in a hunting accident.
God, I don't know why I'm dredging all that up.
I'm sorry.
No, listen, don't be.
'Re both mothers of teenage boys here.
I mean, we're kind of in this together.
Thank you, Sarah.
Sure.
Homeowners' association is always bugging about concrete repairs, but I figure it keeps the kids out of trouble.
Well, I doubt Abernathy was out here jumping his bike.
Why was he here? Why was he here? Call off the lockdown.
Stop the vehicle searches.
I want the exits and the entrances all reopened.
I want everything back to normal.
And get me the pick-up schedule for these courier services.
Why? I know how he did it.
Westport courier.
Mr.
Abernathy.
Wow.
Looks like you'll be taking that vacation you wanted.
Andie.
I am so sorry about yesterday.
It's a long story.
I'm just glad you're here, 'cause we really need to talk.
I know.
We do.
Maybe you should go first.
Brett, I don't think we should see each other anymore.
When you said you loved me I couldn't say it back.
I wanted to, but I couldn't.
And I still can't.
This is about Charlie.
And it has been ever since he showed up.
That's not true.
I know you kissed him.
Yes, I did.
And and that was wrong, but that's not what this is about.
I care about you, Brett.
But it's not love, and that's what you deserve.
This is gonna take forever.
So, how does a history teacher hack into our security grid? Because he is also a computer-science teacher.
Only the school already had somebody doing that, so He spent six months figuring out the system six months mostly during lunch and study hall.
All to impress a girl.
Yeah, well People do all sorts of crazy things for love.
You know what? I got this.
You go home to your girlfriend.
- Are you serious? - Yeah.
Yeah.
And I'm sorry.
I was wrong about Teresa.
And if you're happy, then I'm happy.
- We don't have to hug.
- Copy.
I owe you one, Turner.
I do.
Hey.
Um, Dana let me in.
Oh, great.
What's up? You were right.
I had to make a decision.
I broke up with Brett.
Andie, I'm sorry.
That must have been really hard.
Yeah, y you know, it was.
But it's the right thing to do.
It's just the way I feel when I'm with you I never felt that with Brett.
So what do we do now? I I kind of want to see what happens - if if you do.
- Yeah.
I do.
Yeah, man! Oow! What are you doing here? I dumped the girl.
You did the right thing.
Are ready to run? Let's go.
Yeah! Let's go.
Who are you? You took something of mine.
Look, I made bail, and and everything's been returned, all right? Did you open it? Oh, so that was yours.
I knew there was something weird about that place, but I had no idea how weird.
You stole from the wrong people, Mr.
Abernathy.
Look, here's the deal, okay? As long as all the charges against me are dropped, I'll take all your secrets to the grave with me.
I am so sorry.
But I have to make sure of that.
