The Hardy Boys (2020) s02e02 Episode Script

1
- Previously on Hardy Boys
- This wasn't the plan.
- We're improvising. Trust me.
- Dennis never came home last night.
- No, no, no! No--
Now Jesse and Deputy Riley
are questioning Lucy because
she was the last person to see him.
- Telling you where Dennis went
will give away what his film's about.
Lucy gave us a lead by accident.
He was shooting up at Demon's Paw.
Let's pop in the tape, see if we can
narrow down the search radius.
What the hell is that?
- It's the Bridgeport Demon.
- Dennis is out there somewhere,
and I'm not just gonna sit around.
- You're being reckless.
It's like you don't know who you are
unless you're playing detective!
Are you sure
there's a path over here?
- It's right here.
Trust me, I've been here a bunch.
Okay
- What about the eyewitness who saw him
going into the East Woods.
- Witness got it wrong. It happens.
- What's this stain on your jacket?
- I don't know. Water?
- No, it smells sweet.
- I am here for The Eye.
I'd be impressed if your little stunt
hadn't gotten me kidnapped by Stratemeyer.
What do you want?
Answers.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm good.
- Enough, George!
I will not be lectured to!
Power unused is not power at all!
- We have gone too far this time!
4,000 people are dead!
- We are not responsible for those deaths.
- We knew exactly
what was going to happen!
We have blood on our hands.
- Our hands?
You were not delivering
this sermon a week ago,
and your fortunes have been
favored as much as ours.
You cannot simply walk away
from this circle, George.
- You've been reading my journal.
- I'm trying to understand.
The Eye gives you the knowledge to get
what you want most.
- In a way.
Last night, I tried to see the end.
The end of everything.
But what the Eye showed me,
I could not understand.
I wonder if Sergei and Ahmed
have done this.
But I'm afraid to ask.
- I've been having strange dreams.
- The images are often puzzling.
Cryptic and overwhelming.
But there's always a signal.
Reminds me of my war efforts.
Back when I was a young cryptanalyst.
When right and wrong was black and white.
Years later,
The Eye changed all that.
- You kill people.
- It's an unintended consequence.
- The Eye's dangerous.
That-that's why you destroyed it.
- Destroyed?
No. I broke it.
Energy cannot be destroyed.
The power will always remain somewhere.
- Where is it now?
- You know where it is, Frank.
- Find what you're looking for?
- What the hell are you doing here?
- I could ask you the same thing.
But I won't.
I've got a pretty good idea.
- Did you follow me?
- Couldn't sleep.
See, I couldn't stop thinking
about what JB said,
how the power of The Eye
is not in The Eye.
How someone must have
swapped it out for a fake.
Now, I know I didn't do it.
But then again, I wasn't the one holding
it down in the chamber. You were.
And then I got to thinking
about how lucky it was
that you found
Dennis' hat in that stream.
Little too lucky, if you ask me.
- Joe
- I know you have The Eye, Frank.
- No.
I think The Eye has me.
- What do you mean it has you?
- When we were in the chamber,
when The Eye was
reforging in the machine
I think it somehow
gave me its power.
- Oh my god.
- I know it sounds crazy,
but energy can't be created or destroyed.
Only changed or moved. So,
I think somehow when
I touched it, it transferred.
- That's awesome.
- What?
- What do you mean "what"?
Who cares? You're a superhero!
We got to figure out your powers.
Okay, can you
can you shoot lasers out of your eyes?
Can shoot fireballs out of your eyes?
Uh, can you
Can you move things with your mind?
Can you
Can you read minds? Read my mind.
- Are you done?
- No, no, no. Not even close.
Oh! Can you, can you see the future?
We should buy lottery tickets. No, no, no!
Can you astral project?
Quick. Beam your mind into the past,
figure out what happened to Dennis.
- I can't do that!
- What do you mean?
That's what you did in the chamber.
That's how you figured out who killed Mom.
- No, it doesn't work like that!
- Why not?
- I don't know why not!
Okay, I don't know anything!
That's why I'm here!
We're not the only ones.
All units, secondary
alarm triggered on main floor. Copy.
FRANK We've gotta close this.
JOE No, we'll be trapped.
- Not the door. The bookcase.
- This doesn't make any sense.
- I know.
Why would Great-grandpa build a secret
room he couldn't even close the door to?
- Not that. Why the armed response?
- Lot of expensive stuff in this house.
Do you think Grandma told them
about the secret room?
If she did,
it's not much of a secret anymore.
I think we just wait it out.
- That's boring.
I say we take them out.
I've got this
and you've got your laser eyes. Let's go.
- I don't have laser eyes.
- You never know if you don't test it.
- Put it down.
- So, what is it like?
Having the power of The Eye inside you?
- I don't know.
In the woods, it was like instinct.
Other than that, it's just been
strange dreams, random visions.
- Of what?
- All sorts of stuff.
I started writing it down.
- Oh man
- It's cryptic, right?
- No, no, no!
You have a bad-ass superpower,
and your first instinct
is to take notes.
- I can't just start wielding
some dangerous power
that I don't understand.
Okay, if we can systematically
break through everything in this--
What the hell was that?
- A test.
Can't see the future.
Put that in your diary.
- It's a journal.
- Hey, boys, where were you?
- Well, just figured
everyone could use
a little kick this morning.
- Great minds think alike.
- Are we in trouble?
- Almost certainly.
But that's not why I'm here.
The mayor wants to get a photo
with the local heroes
who saved Dennis Gilroy.
It's gonna be at Wilt's at lunch.
- Yes! Yes!
A hero's welcome by day
and then wrestling by night.
This is gonna be
the greatest day of my life.
- That's right, boys.
Tonight's the pay-per-view event
of the century.
Thanks.
- What is that?
- That's my wrestling voice.
Heavyweight championship of the world!
- Three stadiums
in three cities. A battle royale!
- Please don't do that
while our friends are here.
- I gotta go.
- Um, are you working tonight?
- Uh, yeah, I am now.
- You think you can book it off?
Watch the show?
There's gonna be
a lot of oily men in tights.
- Oh yeah? What are the wrestlers
going to be wearing?
- See you tomorrow.
- Bye, Chief.
- Hey, so, uh, something you, uh,
said yesterday's really been bugging me.
- When I called you an idiot?
- No, that's fine.
It's just you mentioned that you've
been to the cemetery a bunch.
Is that why you stopped looking for
your dad? It's 'cause you found him
- Hey. That's a cool watch. Can I see it?
- Yeah! Sure.
It's actually fully waterproof.
I saved up all my paper route
money just to buy it. Look, it's so
Wha-- No, no, no. That-that's mine.
- Now, it's collateral.
Don't mention
my birth parents again, Phil.
- But that's The thing is, I just--
- Never again.
- But that's my watch.
- Come see me anytime.
- Hey! Uh, can I come in?
- Yeah.
- Any chance you rescheduled
that call with Woodson Academy?
- Yeah, I actually just got off the phone
with the dean of admissions.
It's not good news.
- Uh, what's wrong?
I don't qualify for financial aid?
- No. Um, they're
rescinding your acceptance.
- What? No, they-they can't do that.
- They're saying it's
a question of character.
- But what does that even mean?
- Apparently,
there's an allegation of cheating
on your entrance exam.
- That's impossible. There was
someone in the room with me
the entire time.
- No, sorry.
Not your Woodson exam.
The one you did for Rosegrave.
- Rosegrave? But
that was an elimination test.
Best score moves on.
Frank and I aced every round.
Who said I cheated?
- I don't know. I'm sorry.
They don't give out
that kind of information.
- It's gotta be Donald Dukay.
- Who?
- We beat him on the Rosegrave exam
and he's pissed about it.
Now, he's spreading lies to get even.
- You sure?
- I'm gonna confront him at lunch.
Make him admit it
and take it back.
- Uh, what about the photo?
- This is more important.
- Okay. Yeah, I'll come with you.
- You don't have to worry about me.
- It's not really you
I'm worried about you.
- Do your photo. I got this.
- Hey.
Did you really find
Dennis at the Old Mill?
- Told you we have ways of finding out.
You know, you could have
just told us he was filming
in the West Woods.
Would've saved everyone a bunch of time.
- Right.
- Hey, uh, when do I get
my watch back?
- When I can trust you.
- A-and when's that going to be?
- Mr. Munder? Phil's bothering me!
- No, no, quit it
- Uh, Phil, change seats.
- Seriously?
- Hey, uh,
you sure you're okay
to be back so soon or
- I'm fine.
- Oh, okay.
Where's the video camera?
- Uh, Mr. Munder?
- No, no--
- Phil, change seats!
Dennis, help me pull down the screen!
I was just asking a question.
I didn't-- I don't--
Thank you.
- No! Turn it off!
- Are you okay?
- I'm telling you guys, something
happened to Dennis in the woods.
- It's almost like he hit
his head or something.
- It's more than that. You saw him.
He was freaking out.
- If only there were some recent
injury that might explain it.
- How do you explain the symbols
that he was drawing?
Did you steal that from Dennis?
- Oh, you're going to lecture me
about stealing?
- Look at the time. I gotta go.
- What about the photo?
- Not in it for the glory.
I'm going to go check on something.
- Would you like a spritz?
- For what? It's a photo.
- Oh, come on!
- Maybe if you had two good arms?
- Too soon, way too soon.
- Nice duds, Chet.
- You dress up for Robo's funeral?
- It's gonna be your funeral in a minute.
You wearing cologne?
- Where's Mayor Krassner?
- He's running late.
- Speaking of, I'm going to be late
to wrestling tonight.
- You got another costume change?
- No.
I gotta help my parents fix a fence.
Apparently, having one arm
still means I can hammer posts.
You guys can't talk to me
when I'm playing, okay?
- You're lucky you just died
in the game. Last year,
Robowar killed three kids.
- No, it didn't.
- I heard about that.
- No, you didn't.
- No, it's true! All three of them
had heart attacks
when they got the high score.
- Phil, that didn't happen.
That was one kid four years ago,
and it was BlitzerBlasto, not Robowar!
Y'all are killing me.
- Step aside, children.
Let me show you how it's done.
See?
Wh-- What?
- Move. Move. Move. Move.
- See? Not that easy. Not that easy.
- Watch and learn.
See, the trick is--
- Uh-huh. What's the trick?
- Let me try.
The Eye whispers to me.
If I strain to listen, I can
hear a lucky word here or there.
What do you hear?
Frank?
Frank. Frank?
- Frank? You okay?
- There they are,
our young heroes!
Uh, we'll get the brothers up front.
Trust me, you two could use
the good publicity.
Your grandmother cast
quite a shadow over this town,
what with all the corruption
and bribery.
It's wonderful to see
that you're not following
in her terribly misguided footsteps.
Why, if it wasn't for you,
I'd hate to think,
I'd hate to think what could
have happened to Dennis Gilroy!
What an ending to
your adventuring careers.
- Wait, ending?
- Oh yes!
I think we can all agree
it's not wise for kids
to be snooping around
a dangerous place like Demon's Paw!
- Not with Stratemeyer Global up there.
- Keeping us safe,
rebuilding a collapsed old mine,
and bringing jobs back to Bridgeport.
And jobs and safety,
as we all know, are my top priorities.
And tough on crime!
Would you mind just
for a second? Thank you.
And we are
Good. Smiles, everyone.
Great. So we'll, uh,
crop that, you know what I'm saying?
Thank you, boys!
If you ever need anything,
please come and see me.
Ladies and gentlemen,
please, good day!
- Well, that was fun!
- Glad I got all dressed up.
Putting in all this effort.
See, I'm wearing a tie!
I see it, I see it. It's nice.
Right. You did push it.
You're wearing a sweater
What does that mean?
Yeah, no, brings out my eyes.
This is not the color I would choose.
Listen, plaid is a lifestyle, okay?
Like, I don't care about my mark.
She doesn't have to know that,
that I don't care about my mark.
- Donald Dukay?
Remember me?
- Were you at Ronnie's party on Friday?
- I'm Callie Shaw.
- Look, I had a real nice time, Kelly.
I'm just not really ready
for a new relationship.
- Ew. What? No.
We took the Rosegrave exam together.
I beat you. Then, you went
and told people I cheated.
So, I want to know exactly what you said
and who you said it to.
- Estabrook girl!
I-I can't believe I thought
I made out with you.
- Take back what you said,
so I can clear my name.
- Look, I honestly have no idea
what you're talking about,
so why don't you go ask
your benefactor about all this?
I hear she's got nothing
but time these days.
Hey, Dennis.
You okay?
- I'm fine.
Nurse said it was just a migraine.
- I don't know, man.
My mom gets migraines,
and she doesn't wig out like that.
- What are you working on?
- My film. I
I had an idea for an ending
- What do your notes say?
- Nothing. I
must've improvised on the day.
- So, you don't remember
if you were filming
in the East Woods or the West Woods?
- No, it it was the West Woods.
How do you know?
- That's where you found me.
- Yeah, but how do you know
that's where you were filming?
- And where's the camera?
- Stop.
You're confusing him.
He's had a rough day.
- We're just trying to help.
You don't think it's weird
we found him at the Old Mill, Lucy?
- Why would I?
- Someone said they saw him
going into the East Woods.
- Then, go talk to them. Come on.
- We need to find that eyewitness.
- I think I know who it is.
I found this on my mom's desk.
- Egg sandwich at the general store?
That's disgusting.
- Exactly.
Grice General is all the way
up on Third Line.
There's no way she just had a craving.
My mom was there for a reason.
- Oh!
Let's go.
- He called you Estabrook girl?
What a jerk.
- What if
What if we go see Gloria?
- No!
She's a snake, Cal.
After everything she did, okay,
we can't let her back into our lives.
We can't trust her.
- Tad! Tad Carson!
That's who saw Dennis
going into the East Woods.
- Are you sure?
- It's a working theory.
He runs the general store
on the old logging road.
Biff thinks Jesse went up there
today to follow up on Dennis.
Oh, and Phil
stole this from Dennis' notebook.
You're welcome!
- I find myself wanting
to use it, just to look.
What do you see, Frank?
What does The Eye show you?
- Hey. You okay?
- Yeah! No, h-he's he's fine.
Uh, could you wait outside for us?
We're just gonna be a minute.
- Uh, yeah. I-I'll be outside.
- Mm-hm.
- What happened? What did you see?
- My visions aren't random.
They're triggered.
First, it was the arcade game.
Now, it's the lightning bolts.
The Eye's trying to tell me something.
- Tell you what?
- I don't know.
Whatever it is,
it's about Dennis. Let's go.
- No sleeping!
Ms. Bender, feet down!
Ms. Burton
Goodbye, Mr. Morton!
You don't have detention today.
- Can I talk to Belinda real quick?
- Fine. Real quick, and quietly.
- Hey, what's up?
- I just wanted to come by, say sorry
I bailed on you yesterday.
- It was fine. You saved a kid.
So, you wanna wait around
and then get that world-famous
milkshake we never got?
- I can't. I gotta help my parents
at the farm.
- With a broken wrist?
- They say it builds character.
I don't know.
- Okay. Right.
- But, Frank and Joe are having
this thing at their place,
ff you want to come meet
the gang for real this time.
- What kind of thing?
- It's a wrestling thing.
- Ah.
Normally, I'd say hard pass,
but I should probably extend
my social circle beyond just you.
You know, in case you bail again.
- I deserve that one.
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.
That was neither quick nor quiet, was it?
Have a nice afternoon, Mr. Morgan.
- Yep.
Okay, gone. I'm going.
Bye-bye. Walk away.
- It's got a good view of the trail
up to the East Woods from here.
- I've got this.
Tad, right? Nice hair. Hey, um,
were you working Sunday night?
- We heard you saw
that kid who went missing.
- I'm on break.
- We'll wait.
The B-side's so much better.
- No, it's not.
- You're wrong,
and you'll realize it eventually.
Guess that's kind of your thing, right?
- What?
- You told the cops you saw
the kid in the ball cap
going into the East Woods,
but you were wrong.
- No, no, I wasn't.
The cops asked if there was
a chance I got it wrong.
I was like, "Uh, there's always a chance."
And they rolled with it.
- So you still think it was him?
- For sure. Ball cap, camera. He was
heading into the woods with that girl.
- Wait, what girl?
- I don't know. Some redhead.
- Did you see them come out of the woods?
- Saw her come out.
- Is there anything else you can tell us?
- Same thing I told the cops.
It was a slow night.
Nothing happened, except those
kids went into the woods
and a car pulled up to the payphone.
- Who was in the car?
- No clue. Phone's over there.
I just saw the car.
- What kind of car?
- I don't know. Blue?
- Blue.
That's it? No make, no model?
- Do I look like a mechanic?
- You look like an idiot.
- Good job getting him talking.
- Thank you.
It's gotta be Lucy, right? The girl?
We need to talk to her again.
- Why, so she can lie to us again?
We need a new lead
to press her with.
- Let's check the payphone.
If no one else used it,
maybe the operator can redial.
No. It just went dead.
What's he doing?
- Smells sweet, like Dennis' jacket.
Smells sweet
It's antifreeze!
Dennis was in the blue car.
He was in the trunk.
Think about it.
Dennis walks into the woods,
something happens, someone grabs him.
They throw him in the back of the trunk,
they drag him over to the West Woods
where they dump his body.
- But, what happened?
- And why'd they dump his body?
- Maybe they thought they killed him.
- Sorry, can we just go back?
How do you know he was in the trunk?
- Because that's where you keep
a spare bottle of antifreeze
if your car was leaking antifreeze.
- Well, that's a wild hunch at best.
- No, it's not! I can see him.
- What?
- Huh?
Boys! Pizza's here!
- Uh, coming!
- Uh, he just means
he can picture it.
You know, uh, driver pulls in,
parks the car to make a call,
leaving a puddle of antifreeze. Spare
bottle's in the trunk, leaking on Dennis.
Is it an airtight theory?
No, but it is the one we've got.
I say we run with it.
I'm gonna go get some pizza.
- Okay, when Dad
and Aunt Trudy go upstairs,
me and Joe get our bikes.
We head up the old logging road,
see if we can retrace Dennis' steps.
Now?
- Dad says you gotta collect evidence
in the first 48, or you're outta luck.
Time's almost up.
- What about us?
- You're here running interference
with Dad and Aunt Trudy.
- Found it! Soon as I get this upstairs,
we're good to go!
Uh, you're crazy!
You think he could beat the champ?
He sucks.
- You suck! Why don't you put your money
where your mouth is, Phil?
- Hey, relax. It's not even real.
- You good over there, Trude?
- Yeah, don't worry,
I got it. No one help me.
- Yeah! There we go. Huh?
Hey, scooch over.
- Uh, Dad?
- Wrestling. Yeah?
Yeah. Yeah. Hey, remind me
why it is that Aunt Trudy
and I have to watch
the pay-per-view upstairs
on the tiny TV--
- Dad, go upstairs.
- Hey, who wants to hear
my wrestling voice?
- Dad!
- Hey, Phil does. Okay.
Enjoy the show.
I'll be upstairs squinting.
- Okay, we'll be back before it's over.
- Be careful.
- I will, too. If anyone cares.
- See ya.
- What?
- If we hurry, we can solve this mystery
and make it home in time
for the cage match.
- Let's just get home alive.
- Oh! From the top ropes!
One two! Three--
No!
He kicked out!
That's never happened before!
- Give me my watch.
- What? No!
- What are you doing? Stop!
- I'm not giving you your watch!
- Just stop!
- I never stop!
- So, when you said this
was a wrestling thing
- Not what I meant.
- Never! I never tap!
- Just tap!
- Is that "the gang"?
- I don't know them.
- Just quit it!
- Never!
- Wanna bail?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Tap, Phil. That's all you gotta do!
- You're killing me.
You gotta stop making
logic leaps like that.
- Yeah, I know.
- One too many lucky guesses
or wild hunches that pan out,
people are gonna get suspicious.
Yeah, I know. I'm still trying to
get used to the whole superpowers thing.
- Why now?
- What do you mean?
- I mean, the power's been
in you for six months.
- Why are the visions just starting?
- Maybe it takes time
to charge up, like a battery?
Maybe something woke it up.
- Dennis disappearing?
- Could be.
Can't shake this feeling it's trying
to warn me of something.
- Warn you about what?
- I don't know.
Look, Great-grandpa broke
The Eye for a reason, right?
People have died because of it.
- Not a great omen.
Tire tracks.
- You think that blue car was here?
- I don't think it's a coincidence.
- Frank. In the leaves.
It's a VHS case.
Dennis was here.
- Come on.
- Hey, uh, Trudy-- Uh, I mean Ms. Hardy.
Um, can I talk to you for a second?
About Woodson?
- Sure.
- There must be
someone else you can call.
Oh, what?!
That was three! That was three! Come on!
- I'm so sorry, Callie. I-I tried.
I even called other prep schools to see
if they would take late applications,
but, um, when I mentioned your name
- What?
- I'm new at this, okay?
I didn't know that academia
could be so cliquey, and
it seems like all
the other schools are talking.
- Are you saying I'm blacklisted?
- I don't know.
But, hey, maybe it's not such
a bad thing, you know?
Those schools are so expensive,
and you don't really need one
to go into college.
- It's not about what I need.
It's-- it's what I want.
This is my whole plan.
- You're gonna be okay. Okay? Look at me.
I'm an artist who applied
to be an art teacher,
and now, I'm the guidance counselor.
That wasn't part of my plan,
but I'm making it work,
and so will you.
- But how? Isn't there
something else that we can do?
- I wish there was.
But, I just don't have
the right connections
with the right people.
And that's what schools like Woodson
and Rosegrave are all about.
A snake?
Trudy! You gotta see this!
The guy's got a snake!
- Yeah, no, uh, I get it.
Thanks for trying. Um
I'll figure it out.
- Um, you know
You know you can trust me, right?
- So you say.
- No, no, I-I'm serious.
I won't ask about
your birth dad again.
It's in the vault.
I just want you to know that if you
do go looking for your birth mom,
I've got your back.
- Yeah?
- Prove it.
- Man, did you guys see
that move with the snake?
Hey, uh-- Where is everyone?
- Bathroom!
- Everyone's in the bathroom?
- No. No, uh
Joe and Frank are outside
saying goodbye to Chet and Belinda.
- Because they're such good hosts, right?
- Yeah.
- Okay. Well
they're missing a heck of a show, huh?
- Oh, yeah. Terrific.
- Any pizza left?
Alright.
Ha. See ya.
- For someone who's
really good at secrets,
you might wanna
brush up on your lying.
- Okay.
How do you even
know where we're going?
I don't.
Just following my instincts.
Do you ever think the power of
The Eye has been in a person before?
I doubt it.
I've read Great-grandpa's
journal cover to cover.
He found The Eye, he used The Eye,
destroyed The Eye.
There's nothing in it about him
being possessed by it.
This feels more like
an unintended consequence.
- Right, but it's not, like, controlling.
You're still you, right?
- For now.
- Very scary.
That, on the other hand
- Yeah, that'll do it.
I found a ladder that leads
to the roof of the library.
You coming or what?
- Not really sure about this.
We're not supposed to climb up there.
Kind of feels like trespassing.
- Seriously?
You've lived in this town your entire life
and you've never been up there?
- I don't really do heights,
and plus, you know, my cast, so--
- All I'm hearing is excuses.
You don't want to break the rules
or you're scared of heights
or is it your cast?
- It could be all of those things.
- Chet, trust me,
no one's around.
No one cares, okay?
It's going to be fine.
I used to do this kind of stuff
with my girlfriend all the time.
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah.
Well, ex-girlfriend now, but yeah.
- Okay. Cool. Cool.
- Yeah, it's pretty tough
the way things ended.
- Is that because you moved?
- No, she fell to her death.
- That's not funny. That's messed up.
- Come on.
Come on. I wanna get
a good look at my new home,
and you gotta get
those feet off the ground. Come on.
- Just just--
- Who is that?!
You're trespassing on city property!
- Oh
He didn't see you. He didn't see you.
I'll draw him away. Take my keys.
Meet me at Wilt's, okay?
- Okay.
- Stay where you are, young man.
No
- Come on, let's go!
- I said stay where you are,
young man! Get back here!
Interesting decor.
- Well, looks like somebody cleared
off the place before they left.
What's that?
- Flour.
- Hey, check it out. Thumbtacks.
- Tack up some recipe cards.
- Maybe someone's baking a cake.
- Sure, bake a cake,
shoot a couple trespassers,
regular chef stuff.
- Someone's coming.
- Under the bed. Hide. Quick.
The light.
We gotta go! Come on!
- Frank! Frank, I'm stuck!
Frank, I'm stuck! Help!
- Your backpack's stuck on the coil!
Twist the other way!
- It's Dennis' pin!
- Leave it! We don't have time!
- It's proof he was here!
- Come on! Twist the other way! Gotta go!
You're first. Go.
They're gone.
- So's the shack.
- Come on, we need help. Let's go.
- Jeez!
Took you long enough.
Wilt's just about to close up.
- Sorry! May not look like it,
but Mayor Krassner can run.
- Yeah
- You're welcome, by the way.
- You always dive on grenades like that?
- No. I mean, I just didn't
want you to get in trouble.
- I live for trouble.
- Just a firetruck.
- Did we miss it?
- Just ended.
- What happened?
Why does it smell like campfire?
- Explain later.
I need something to cover the smell.
I got it!
- Ew
Oh my god!
Why does it smell?
- Well, th-the pizza didn't agree with me,
and I-I thought this would help.
It doesn't!
It's in my mouth, Phil!
Oh
- Why does it taste like smoke?
- Well, I lit a match earlier,
but clearly--
it clearly wasn't strong enough.
Yeah
- Clearly.
- I'll open a window.
- Wow! Look at the time.
- Yeah, we should See you.
- Yeah, uh, yeah. Bye.
- See ya. See ya.
- Bye. Bye.
- Uh, sorry about your house.
- Yeah.
- Bye.
- Good night, kids.
- I'm trusting you.
- You could tell them that you know
they're still investigating.
- Where's the fun in that?
- So, what do we think?
- I think Dennis was in that shack,
and I think someone in
black boots driving a blue car
burned it down to cover their tracks.
- They almost took us with it.
How are we gonna solve this?
- Beats me.
I don't even know what this is.
- It's trying to do a puzzle
without the picture on the box.
Bunch of pieces are missing, and a bunch
of other pieces from other puzzles
all mixed in just to confuse you.
- He was a codebreaker.
- Who was?
- Great-grandpa and Ahmed Khan
and Sergei Nabokov.
- I thought they were miners.
- No, they owned a mine,
but that was later.
They were all cryptanalysts
during the war.
That was the beginning
of the circle of The Eye.
- It was?
- Did you not read his journal?
- Hey, that thing is dense,
and we were on a clock. If it wasn't
about The Eye, I skipped ahead.
- This is about The Eye.
Everything it's showing me,
it's all encrypted.
It's a code that needs to be broken.
There's always a signal.
- What do you mean?
- Dennis, he was in the trunk.
- Mm-hmm.
- Right, but the trunk wasn't
a trunk. It was a trunk.
- Did you inhale too much smoke?
- The Eye doesn't give knowledge.
It gives data. It's up to you
to decipher what it means.
Like a codebreaker.
- That's how we solve this thing.
- We can't talk about it, can we?
- No.
It stays between you and me.
If we learned anything last year,
it's that we can't trust anyone.
Dixon City Minimum Security Prison.
- Hi. I'd like to schedule a visit.
