Psych s06e07 Episode Script
In for a Penny...
Juliet.
Juliet? Juliet, party's almost over.
I don't think Daddy's coming, sweetie.
He's coming.
I know it.
Okay.
But it's a little rude to stay in here all day.
And, hey, your clown's leaving soon.
He can't even juggle.
I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! Daddy! Daddy! Hi, cutie.
Tell your folks to vote for Hank Pauper.
He's good So what's the story with these guys? This group of thieves hit West Medical Supply early this morning, made off with a couple dozen oxygen tanks.
Because of the great oxygen drought.
Hold your breath, people.
Do your part.
They most likely stole the tanks because one would need a license to purchase them.
The street value for their take is about twenty-five grand.
It seems like a lot of risk for such a modest reward.
- Are they amateurs? - No.
No.
They were very well armed, extremely efficient.
My gut tells me we'll be hearing more from these guys.
Okay.
Keep me in the loop.
Idiots.
What he said.
Okay, Jules, we're nervous about three things.
Gary Busey.
Gary Busey.
And your 30th birthday bash! I made a small list of things you'll want for the party.
All I see is Gary Busey.
Beneath him.
Oh.
An inflatable bounce house, a slip and slide.
And I was about to add two ginormous ponies.
You mean horses.
Oh, look, you already got a card.
Who's it from? Oh, it's, uh, it's just my dad.
He's in LA and he wants to come up and see me for my birthday.
Oh, that's fantastic.
I'll add him to the list.
Don't add him to the list.
Jules, we're talking about your birthday Shawn, we talked about this.
The subject of my dad is off limits.
Look, he missed most of my birthdays anyway.
It's really complicated and, well, he's just not really presentable.
Not presentable? What does that mean? I'll tell you what it means, Juliet has a problem and as the man, it's my job to fix it.
I don't think that's what it means.
Gus, there are certain things about women that no one in the world understands.
Except for me and NBC anchor Brian Williams.
When a woman complains about a personal issue, she doesn't want the man to just listen, she wants him to solve the problem.
I don't think that's right, Shawn.
I'm telling you, man, when they say one thing, what they want is for us to do the exact opposite.
I strongly disagree.
Watch and learn from the master of women.
Look, you What the heck was that? Who knew it would be so easy to sneak onto a private golf course? Definitely not me.
Is that Juliet's dad? I hope so.
Hey, fellas! Great day for the hot links, huh, fellas? You don't look like Tito Nagasaki and Bob Jones.
I've been told on many occasions that I'm the spitting image of Tito Nagasaki.
And if this guy doesn't look like Bob Jones, well, I don't know anything.
Yeah, well, Tito and Bob were supposed to meet me for a round of golf and then a business talk.
Apparently they're not showing.
Ah, right.
Shame.
Well, sir, my name is Shawn Spencer.
This is my partner, Ingle Woods.
We're on a mission of sorts.
What can I do for you, gentlemen? I'm dating your daughter, sir.
Pleasure to meet you, Shawn.
Likewise, sir.
Why don't we play a few holes and then, uh, have a few drinks back at my chateau? Come on.
Chateau.
Mr.
O'Hara, as a budding entrepreneur myself, I was wondering, how did you make your fortune? Work.
More hard work.
And you, Shawn, as the man who's dating my daughter, how do you earn a living? I'm a psychic detective, sir.
I was asking a serious question.
I know it must sound a little crazy, but the truth is, sir, I have a unique gift and I use that gift to make the world a safer place for your daughter and ginormous ponies, that apparently we're just calling horses these days.
For instance, I am sensing that you're about to embark on a long voyage.
On your yacht, perhaps to a far away and exotic place.
Yes.
I purchased a home in the Caribbean.
My apologies.
That's a very impressive talent you got there.
Thank you, sir.
Come and join me.
This is very, very special stuff.
One of life's great pleasures.
- Smooth.
- Yeah.
So, Burton, how long have you been a single man? How do you know I'm single? How much time do you have? Seriously, why haven't you seen your daughter in 15 years? I put my heart into my work.
Look around you.
You can see the results of that focus.
Truly amazing.
Meaningless.
I'm now dedicating my life to repairing those important moments in my life.
And I would like nothing more than to share all my success with her.
Mr.
O'Hara, I am here to broker a reunion between father and daughter.
See, I've reached out to Jule, but unless she responds, I think it's wise to stay away.
See, sir, I think that would be a mistake.
I know how Juliet feels.
I didn't speak with my father for many years and I know it creates a void in your life.
I'll say this, I can and will help orchestrate this reunion.
Why are you smiling like that? It's a secret.
Mmm.
Okay, I'll tell you.
Your father's coming to your birthday.
I arranged the whole thing.
We.
We arranged the whole thing.
Mmm-hmm.
You did what? He arranged the whole thing.
I specifically said that I didn't want him here and I meant it, Shawn.
Yeah, but I thought you wanted me to do the exact opposite of that.
Why would you think that? Because I know women.
Do you have any idea how completely inappropriate it is that you went behind my back and invited him here? Yeah, but I only did all of this to show you that you're completely wrong.
He is totally presentable.
He's got a giant house and a yacht.
He doesn't have any of those things.
Gus, back me up here.
He's rich and awesome and powerful.
He's not rich and he's not powerful.
He's a conman.
I know, you know That I'm not telling the truth I know, you know They just don't have any proof Embrace the deception Learn how to bend Your worst inhibitions tend to psych you out in the end I know, you know I know, you know Security cameras disabled.
We're going in.
Ten seconds.
Hello, boys.
Good to see you, Jimmy.
Relax, Gus.
So Frank fooled us.
Big deal.
It happens to us once every seven days.
I don't like being taken behind the woodshed, Shawn.
Thank you.
Thanks, buddy.
I'll be damned.
Congratulations.
You're a conman.
I prefer confidence man.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
I'll have you know that I've been referred to as a modern-day Robin Hood by many of my colleagues.
Really? You rob from the rich and give to the poor? I con from the rich and give to myself when I am at my poorest.
Aren't your colleagues also conmen? Yes.
You know what? I'm going to do the right thing and return that scotch that we drank.
$25,000 a bottle.
I'll write an anonymous letter.
You lied to us, Frank.
That wasn't your chateau.
That was some poor stranger's house you were probably in the middle of cleaning out.
The stranger's name is Dale Fern, one of the most corrupt CEOs in corporate America.
That doesn't make it right.
No, it doesn't.
What makes it right is I gave everything back.
It's criminal to leave a house like that sitting empty.
I'm telling you the truth here, I miss my daughter.
And I have recently, and I accept the fact that it was only 11 hours ago, turned a corner.
I'm going straight.
What are you You honestly think that Gus and I were born on the Fourth of July? Or yesterday? Or to run? I'm sorry, Frank, I can't help you.
But Shawn, it was your influential words that convinced me to earn a relationship with Juliet.
Okay, I'm back in.
I can help you.
Not me.
I'm out.
Excuse us.
Hey, hey, hey! What? Behind every great man is a great woman.
And in my case, that woman is an intelligent, sophisticated, full-foreheaded stallion named Burton.
And she's black and she can dance.
I need you on this, buddy, because tonal shifts are tricky for me and this is getting all serious.
Come on.
Foghorn needs Leghorn.
They're the same rooster, Shawn.
Exactly.
Fine.
Frank! We're good.
Ground rules, we ease into the situation with Jules the same way that Gus eased into being black.
Am I the only one who's somewhat nervous about bringing a criminal into the police station? Just to clarify, my record is clean.
I've been in the biz 30 years and I've never been charged with a crime.
All the same, I think that we, meaning you, shouldn't say a single word.
Of course.
All right.
Just act natural.
All right, everybody, listen up.
The band of thieves who we've been after finally pulled the score that they've been planning.
They busted one of their low-life friends out of prison.
As you can see, they used an extremely high-powered pure oxygen blowtorch which they stole from West Medical Supply yesterday to cut through Here's a picture of the escapee.
That's Jimmy Fitz.
Oh, my God, Frank.
What are you doing here? Who's Frank? My father.
Your what? Shawn, Gus, I can see you.
Surprise.
No, no, I'm not Gus.
Um, I'm his cousin.
His cousin, uh Okay, I'll be with you shortly and we're going to have words.
Now, as I was saying, Jimmy Fitz was serving three years of a 10-year sentence.
We find him, we most likely find the rest of his crew.
Now that these guys have accomplished their mission, they're gonna lay low.
We need to jump on this scent before it goes cold.
That's not going to happen.
Frank.
Not now, Frank.
I'm sorry, Juliet.
Our personal business aside, let me just say this one thing and I promise I'll be quiet.
I'll zip it up.
I swear.
Fine.
Jimmy Fitz was one of the most talented safecrackers in the business.
I think these guys are going to pull a big score.
Otherwise they wouldn't risk breaking out a guy with Jimmy Fitz's talent out of Lompoc.
They need him to complete the score.
How does your dad know so much about this? I'll be having those words with you now.
Um, since I'm not really involved with this Oh, you're not going anywhere, Gus.
Jule, I understand you're upset.
Just so you know it's not Shawn's fault that I'm here.
Nor mine.
Nor Burton's.
It's true that Shawn did say some meaningful words that had a great deal of influence on me And of course, if they hadn't been spoken I'd be halfway to the Cayman Islands by now, but you can't blame him for this.
Frank, I'm not sure this is helping.
Well, I have some words that I hope will have an influence on you.
I don't want you here.
And I have 30 years of reasons why.
So I will do the respectful thing and leave it at that.
I understand your feelings.
But I've turned a corner.
And how many corners have you turned over the years? Still counting, right? May I say something? I know I'm in the doghouse.
Oh, you're not in the doghouse? I'm not? No.
You're going to have to work really hard to make it into the doghouse.
Okay, so I'm in the yard, which is still an enclosed area.
Unless I'm in the pound.
Jules, am I in the pound? Where's Gus? Is Gus with me? Why do I have to be in the pound? So we can get adopted together like two inseparable weeny dogs.
I don't want to be in the pound, Shawn.
Guys.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I was just going to say that Frank seems very sincere about wanting to rebuild his relationship with you.
You know, you're right.
I always go about these things the wrong way.
I shouldn't have rushed in here.
I'm sorry.
Look, can I just Can I just have a little time to think about this? Maybe I'll call you.
Uh, Jule, you know that Jimmy Fitz only pulled a score with two other guys? Yes.
Ricky Roma and Chad Emigh.
Did you know that Ricky joined the invisible choir? He's in the fertilizer business? He's dead.
Ricky's dead.
Chad is the leader of the crew that you're looking for.
Your dad was right.
We just got word that a place called General Industries was hit.
Three masked men in and out, took a bunch of construction equipment.
Heavy-duty drills, diggers, that sort of thing.
Drills, diggers Those guys are going to make their score in the next 24 hours.
I guarantee it.
Goodbye, Frank.
Tell me again AutoTrader.
Com? Trust me.
They have a ton of new cars.
Why don't you just let him borrow the Blueberry? Come on, son, what will I drive? Well, he's right.
And I mostly borrowed people's cars who didn't know they were being borrowed.
No, it's time I stepped up and bought myself a new car for the first time.
Frank, I don't think you should leave yet.
Listen, I want to spend more time with Juliet but I don't think her feelings are going to change and I don't blame her.
I'll take that one.
It's a $300,000 Bentley.
Everybody will take that one.
Here, how about this one? It's a little more practical.
Has Wi-Fi.
Then that's the winner.
What's Wi-Fi? Hey Jules, what's up? You're kidding me.
We're on our way.
So there's been complaints about construction noise downtown, right? There are dudes drilling in the middle of a parking lot.
City never issued permits for the work.
That sounds like our guys.
Frank, you were right again.
Great job.
Let's go.
No, no, no, no.
I'd better respect Juliet's wishes.
You know, she's right.
I'm not officially on this case.
Well Dust that thing.
Wow.
Really? Don't tell me.
They broke into a safe.
No.
They took an entire safe.
They were able to bypass a top-notch security system because they went underground to do it.
Look, showing up at the station is one thing, Frank, but this is a crime scene.
I thought I was clear before, the only people allowed here are the people working the case.
But Jule, I am working the case.
What are you talking about? Shawn, what is he talking about? This is awkward.
Okay, Jules, when a man truly knows a woman Shawn.
Gus hired your dad.
You must be out of your damn mind.
He hired your dad.
Okay, we hired your dad.
I can't believe you hired my father! For the record, I did not hire your father.
Well, you're in this, Gus.
You're in deep.
You're an accomplice.
In fact, if this were a crime, you'd be in cuffs right now.
Jules, the truth is we just needed an extra set of hands around Psych.
Our old assistant Kung Ken.
Who we fired twice, will not return my calls for some reason.
It's no great loss.
Your dad just happened to be around.
It is extremely frustrating to be constantly ignored.
In fact, it's getting a little hurtful, Shawn.
Okay, I only did this because your dad is so desperate to spend more time with you.
And by helping with the case, I think he thinks he's making up for the mistakes, you know, working with the good guys for a change.
You don't know him like I do.
Look, Jules, I know I don't know him the way you do, but what I do know is Frank is well aware this is a very sensitive situation.
He knows the best thing to do is just lay low.
Has anybody got a megaphone? I'm not very good at projecting.
I used to have the same problem, sir.
What you want to do is breathe through your diaphragm.
Oh, my God, this is not happening.
O'Hara, your father has his finger firmly on the pulse of this case.
You know this isn't repairing our relationship, right? Jules, I'm trying to assist you on this case.
Let me just say a few words and then I'll take a backseat.
Fine.
Make it quick.
Okay, so here's what we know so far.
Crew we've been following, led by this guy on the right, Chad Emigh, stole a top-of-the-line safe this evening.
And we now know that the safe contained legal papers from a big law firm, nothing of any real value.
Well, maybe they were after the information in the safe and not the money.
I don't think they cared what was in the safe.
Jimmy Fitz is the safecracker on the crew, right? He's rusty from the time he spent in the pokey.
He probably just wanted something to practice on.
That's very good, Shawn.
Thank you, Frank.
No, thank you.
All right, let's zero in on what the big plan is.
We got to figure out what these guys are after next.
Well, we can forget about banks.
It's federal, means the FBI.
No, we're looking at something privately owned.
Auction stamps, jewelry shows, venues that move from city to city.
Those silly coin expos you go to, do they really have coins that are worth more than their face value? Of course they do.
The Santa Barbara Expo has a featured coin every year worth millions.
In fact Oh, I'm getting something! Oh, boy.
Uh, Santa Barbara Coin Expo.
That's right.
It travels from city to city with a boatload of privately-owned, very valuable coins.
The star attraction this year is a nineteen Valued at $2 million.
Only a dozen of them in existence, and even though I do love me some 1913 liberty nickel, I have to say that That could be it.
I'm proud of you, Shawn.
- You are? - What about me? I knew the exact year of the coin.
Spoken like a man with no girlfriend.
Well, I couldn't have done it without you, Frank.
That light little pat on the buns was exactly what I needed to get over the hump.
Man, I wish you were my Little League coach.
Hey.
Hey, I was your coach in Little League.
Really? That short-fused, balding guy was you? We have no evidence they're going after the coin expo.
It's true, but until we have a better lead, it's worth checking out.
So you mean to tell me someone might want to steal the fascinatingly rare worth two million bucks from my coin expo? That's right.
Well, butter my buns and call me a biscuit, I'm shocked.
Shocked.
This is not my first coin show, kids.
No, but it might be your last if they rip you off.
I'm not worried about it.
And why is that? Because, hello, I do this for a living and I use top-notch security.
I use decoys, I use smoke screens and I use my smarts, all to outwit lowlife crooks.
I have a question, Sheldon.
How much is this puppy worth right here? Exactly ten cents.
How much will you give us for it? Two nickels or maybe ten pennies or just a different dime.
What do you think? We'll take the two nickels.
Okay, are you folks done wasting my time? No.
I'd like a list of all your employees, specifically the new hires.
What? Why? In case there's an inside man.
That's my girl.
Too soon? Too soon.
It's worth 25 cents.
Man.
Will you stop it? A real pro can get through this safe in two minutes.
Your coins are sitting ducks in there.
Please.
Have you not listened to anything I've said? I certainly haven't but I didn't think you'd notice.
It's going to take a couple of days to go through all these people.
I told you I've had the same team of people with me for years.
There are no new employees here.
Then let's get to work.
Thank you, sir.
I'm shocked.
Shocked.
This is not my first coin show, kids.
I'm getting something.
Like a power outage or something electrical.
Yeah, we did have some electrical issues so we hired someone to fix them.
So you do have a new employee? Well, no, he's temporary.
I don't count him as a real employee.
Nice work, Shawn.
Oh, no, good work from you, sir.
Let's just check that electrician, shall we? The electrician's clean.
How do you know that? Did you not just see the show I put on in there? I was scaring myself.
Trust me, he knows nothing.
He knows something.
What? Oh, my God.
Well, unless someone can get some information out of him, we have nothing to hold him on.
I remember a six-year-old who could charm her way into selling every last sip of the worst lemonade ever made.
It was sugar-free.
Jules, I've had your lemonade, it's pretty rough on the palate.
Sugar's a key ingredient.
I get it.
Trying to help.
Touchy.
Hey, Kevin, Juliet O'Hara, we met earlier.
How long have you been married? Uh, three years.
Kids? One.
A boy.
I have a little girl.
They're so much fun, aren't they? What? Jules has a kid.
What? Shawn, she's playing him.
Oh.
I feel very silly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know what I think, Kevin? I think these guys are the kind of guys that would kill me or someone like me if I got in their way, and I don't see that in you.
When I look at you, I see somebody who is scared and somebody who wants all of this to just go away.
And you know what? I can make all of it go away.
Because they haven't stolen anything from the coin expo yet.
So if you can give me information that can prevent a crime from happening, then we are one giant step closer to righting whatever you've done wrong.
Some guy approached me and offered a couple grand if I gave him info on the building where the expo is being held.
Access points, stuff like that.
You know, I needed the cash to make ends meet.
That's my girl.
I want all resources at that expo immediately.
Yes, ma'am.
North and South Teams, report.
- Clear.
- All clear.
You okay, Frank? I'm fine.
Why wouldn't I be? There.
The guy with the black briefcase.
Suit and tie.
Black briefcase, red tie, take him down.
Unarmed.
Clear.
There.
Backpack, black hat.
West corner, backpack, black hat.
Go! He's clean.
You sure? Uh, are you sure that wasn't them? Yes, they're sure.
Are you out of your damn minds? Are you kidding me? I'm not sure if you're aware, but coin enthusiasts are an easily scared group of mostly single men.
Not true.
Mr.
Gates, just calm down.
There was a very good reason for Hang on.
Yeah, Chief.
No, no, we'll be right there.
A place called Prestige Safe Deposit was just robbed by a couple of masked men.
Sheldon, are you all right? I use decoys, I use smoke screens and I use my smarts, all to outwit lowlife crooks.
No.
He's not all right.
Prestige Safe Deposit is where he keeps the real penny.
What happened out there today? The other team played better.
Maybe I should go talk to him, huh? I don't think that will be necessary.
You all right? I thought I had them there.
Means I failed on every level.
I must have been crazy to think that I could I was guessing the whole time.
I got caught up.
I shouldn't have been there, Jules.
Hey, O'Hara, I've got the surveillance photos from the Prestige Safe Deposit robbery.
You want to see these? I've done enough damage already.
As you can see, the crew is wearing gas masks.
The employees weren't an issue because they were drugged.
We found three tanks of nitrous oxide in the air shaft of the building.
These guys got in, unarmed, took the penny and made a clean exit.
These pictures are useless.
Why don't we play a few holes and then, uh, have a few drinks back at my chateau? It's criminal to leave a house like that sitting empty.
What's wrong? I'll tell you on the way.
Frank stole the penny? Unfortunately, yes.
Wait, how? He was with us in the van the whole time.
Yeah, but his crew wasn't.
He conned us, Gus.
He made us believe those thieves we were after were the ones who were going to steal the penny.
Meanwhile, Frank wanted it for himself the whole time.
He set this whole thing up so that the entire police department went down to that coin expo while his crew stole the penny from where it was actually being kept.
So what are the guys who we are after going to steal? I have no idea.
Will you please just tell me you have a plan of some kind? You're damn right I do.
Here, get on the freeway up here.
We're headed back to LA.
Well played, Frank.
Well played.
Get yourself a good night's sleep in another man's mansion and then take his yacht wherever your heart desires, right? Take your electrician and your caddy along with you.
Hey, guys.
So let me get this straight.
You roll into town under the guise of patching things up with your daughter.
Meanwhile, you're planning a con the whole time.
No.
I came to town with every intention of making things right with Juliet.
Didn't hatch the plan to take the penny until I got inside the police station and, uh, saw this other crew of thieves pulling scores in Santa Barbara.
And I could take whatever I wanted and pin it on them because the police were listening to every word I said.
You gotta understand that something like this has never fallen into my lap.
Oh.
I just couldn't stop myself.
How did you know where the real penny was, Frank? You know how.
You swiped the Prestige receipt off Sheldon's desk, didn't you? Damn it, you have got to stop doing this to your daughter.
She was just starting to allow herself to believe that you were actually a changed man.
I know.
I know.
And I wouldn't do anything to jeopardize that.
- You could have fooled me.
- I want out.
I'm quitting this life.
But it's not that easy.
See, I owe outstanding balances that need to be paid and I'm not talking about MasterCard and Visa.
This was supposed to be a clean score.
My hope was that Juliet wouldn't know it was me.
So, what do you got? The police waiting for me to take me away? No, Frank.
No cops.
Go.
If a $2 million penny is more important to you than having a relationship with your daughter, then go.
Get the hell out of here.
You said the penny was worth 100 grand.
Pipe down, kiddo.
I'm going to give you till tomorrow morning to make things right.
Otherwise I'm telling her everything, Frank.
Okay, Gus, if Frank doesn't get here and come clean in the next six seconds, I'm telling the truth.
Can I wait in the car? Hey, Jules.
Hey.
We got our guy.
Really? Uh, let me explain.
We got an anonymous tip regarding the whereabouts of Chad Emigh.
He was sleeping in his hotel room, penny right on his nightstand.
An anonymous tip? Yep.
It was the perfect bust.
We got all the evidence from his room, we are processing it now and we're about to interrogate him.
Wow.
You know, Jules, before you go in there, - I'm thinking - Hey.
We got our man.
That's my girl.
Still too soon? Still too soon.
One day at a time.
Make this easy on yourself, Chad, just tell us where the rest of your crew is and maybe we can work out a deal.
No, I don't think so.
How about you put the arrogance on ice, moron.
Lest we forget, the stolen penny was found ten inches from your thick skull when we took you down.
You planted the penny on Chad.
This is a win-win situation.
Cops get their man.
We know he's a bad guy.
That penny goes back to that D-bag Sheldon, and, uh, Juliet is none the wiser.
I told you I have an alibi, so check it out.
It's legit.
I also told you that I was sleeping like a baby.
Someone removed part of my window, came in my room like a ghost and planted it on my nightstand.
You expect us to believe that? You believe what you want.
Looks like she is the wiser, Frank.
What are you doing? O'Hara? Where are you off to, Frank? Uh, nowhere.
Just thought maybe you could handle things from here.
You know, it's funny, after Mom kicked you out and changed all the locks on the doors, I always wondered how you would sneak into my room and leave little gifts on my nightstand.
And eventually I just figured out that you were really good at taking apart a window and putting it back together.
In and out like a ghost.
I don't know what you mean, Juliet.
God, you're such a coward.
There's no need for that.
Actually, there's a long overdue need for it.
Your life has been so starved of honesty that the second you feel it creeping around the corner, you are out the nearest door.
I'm sorry you feel that way.
It's not a feeling, Frank.
It's the truth.
I'm not done.
Look, I don't know if you've realized this, but I'm not a kid anymore.
And I'm not going to sit around and waste my time and my tears on missed recitals and birthdays, but what really breaks my heart is that you won't be there for all the moments to come.
You don't know that, Juliet.
Yes, I do.
Because that's my choice.
And I don't want you there.
You don't mean that.
Sadly, I mean every word because I feel cheated.
I feel robbed.
So congratulations, Frank, your longest con of all was on your own daughter.
Again, Jules, I'm super-duper sorry, okay? I'm going to make this up to you.
I promise.
Okay.
Okay.
Bye.
You're a flawed man, Frank.
But we all are.
But deep down, I know you're a good man.
- Gus, what the hell? - Oh.
What's up? Not a lot.
Juliet is still pretty upset, and to make matters worse, they had to let Chad go.
His alibi checked out and they only have circumstantial evidence against him.
Oh, yeah, and they confirmed an eyewitness report of a middle-aged man rummaging around a bush outside Chad's hotel room.
So there's that.
Hmm.
Bummer.
That means Chad is free to pull off his score while I'm pulling off my con.
Yeah, that really is a bummer, Frank.
We got an anonymous tip regarding the whereabouts of Chad Emigh.
Wait a minute.
I just had a vision of Chad attending three very random concerts this week at the Santa Barbara Bowl.
That sounds like they're casing the place out.
Gus, I think we just figured out what they're going to rob.
Hey, can I come with? I know.
I know, it's But if I actually help you bring them down Sorry, Frank.
No can do.
Not this time.
What you need to do is throw yourself at Juliet's feet and literally beg for mercy.
You're right.
Go get them, men.
Go get them.
Don't touch anything! Nothing worth touching.
Jules, just hear us out.
We know what Chad and his crew are going to rob.
The Santa Barbara Bowl.
I had a vision of him attending three totally random concerts there.
He was casing the joint.
We did find a variety of concert ticket stubs in the evidence from Chad's hotel room.
We should bring Lassiter in and put together a plan.
Real and Don't do that.
You know what this is like? This is like the end of The Town.
Which makes me the guy from Mad Men.
Gus is Affleck and Jules is Minnie Driver.
You just mashed up The Town with Good Will Hunting.
Hey, you're wicked smart, Guster.
Oh, thanks, fella.
That was kind of you to say.
What the hell was that? That was dead-on Southie.
That was like Mister Ed if he was Irish.
Oh, that was kind of you to say.
Oh, my God.
What? Juliet, I swear on Gus's life, we had no idea he was coming here.
You have to believe me.
I know I shouldn't be here, but Shawn said I should throw myself at your feet and beg for mercy.
Have you lost your mind? You're compromising our entire operation, Frank.
Get in the van.
Frank, I didn't mean throw yourself at her feet in the middle of a stakeout.
Can I say something? I would rather you didn't.
Is this going to get awkward again? It already is.
I'll make this quick and then you never have to speak to me again.
I'm truly sorry.
The mistakes and decisions I've made are unforgivable.
I want to change, but obviously I have more soul-searching to do.
Despite my shortcomings, the one thing I can't live without is being there for the important parts of your life.
Well, you've already missed them.
They're gone.
You deserved first place in your fifth grade talent contest.
The only reason that bratty little Wendy Pence won was because her mother was flirting with the judge.
And that song you sang, Time After Time, was a beautiful choice.
You sounded like an angel.
And that clown juggler on your ninth birthday party, he was awful.
Criminal, just I have a lot of proud moments of you, Juliet.
But the proudest was when they swore you in and gave you that badge and I realized, luckily, you're nothing like me.
Why would you hide? Well, when your mother remarried and I saw what a great stepdad that Lloyd made for you and the boys, I thought maybe I'd just stay out of the way.
And another part of me thought maybe you, uh, might be embarrassed if I showed my face.
I'm not embarrassed by you.
Disappointed.
But never embarrassed.
You have a lot of great people around you, very special people.
I don't know about him.
But very special.
So I'll You know, I'll go and you guys take care.
Red ball-cap, gray sweatshirt.
He's talking to his hand.
He's mic'ed.
He's one of the crew.
Being the closeted soft rock fan that you are, are you familiar with a station called 103.
1- Surf? No, I'm not.
Oh, boy, I'm getting something too! Turn on the radio.
It's a dead station.
What? If it's a dead station, why is there a KSRF 103.
1 "The Surf" van parked out there? That's them! Should we call in the SWAT? No, there's way too many civilians.
We can't risk the crossfire.
I have an idea.
Moving in.
Moving in.
Out of the van now.
Hands in the air! Let's go.
It was a good plan, Dad.
It was the least I could do.
Almost, almost Okay, you can open.
Happy birthday! Yay.
Where are the ginormous ponies? You mean horses.
Yeah, apparently they're very expensive to rent and they poop a lot.
Oh, good call.
Thank you for this, Shawn.
Your heart was always in the right place.
Go have a blast.
Look who's here.
Mmm.
Thank you for coming.
Happy birthday, O'Hara.
Yeah.
Come here.
Not bad, huh, Frank? So what's the plan? You thinking of sticking around for a few days? Yeah, I think I might.
I might even get a regular job.
Yeah.
Where is the penny, Frank? I know the one in the evidence room is a fake and it's only a matter of time before they figure that out.
I don't have the penny.
What do you think? Do you think this is my first surprise party for a girlfriend whose dad is a professional conman? Huh? It is.
It is my first.
Where's the penny? The real penny is being put into the evidence room right about now.
Kato's breaking into the evidence room? Kato is finagling his way into the evidence room.
Finagling his way.
Oh, my God.
Hey, what are you all talking about? Gifts.
And cake.
Which one do you want to bust out first? Cake.
I know, you know That I'm not telling the truth I know, you know They just don't have any proof Embrace the deception Learn how to bend Your worst inhibitions tend to psych you out in the end I know, you know
Juliet? Juliet, party's almost over.
I don't think Daddy's coming, sweetie.
He's coming.
I know it.
Okay.
But it's a little rude to stay in here all day.
And, hey, your clown's leaving soon.
He can't even juggle.
I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! Daddy! Daddy! Hi, cutie.
Tell your folks to vote for Hank Pauper.
He's good So what's the story with these guys? This group of thieves hit West Medical Supply early this morning, made off with a couple dozen oxygen tanks.
Because of the great oxygen drought.
Hold your breath, people.
Do your part.
They most likely stole the tanks because one would need a license to purchase them.
The street value for their take is about twenty-five grand.
It seems like a lot of risk for such a modest reward.
- Are they amateurs? - No.
No.
They were very well armed, extremely efficient.
My gut tells me we'll be hearing more from these guys.
Okay.
Keep me in the loop.
Idiots.
What he said.
Okay, Jules, we're nervous about three things.
Gary Busey.
Gary Busey.
And your 30th birthday bash! I made a small list of things you'll want for the party.
All I see is Gary Busey.
Beneath him.
Oh.
An inflatable bounce house, a slip and slide.
And I was about to add two ginormous ponies.
You mean horses.
Oh, look, you already got a card.
Who's it from? Oh, it's, uh, it's just my dad.
He's in LA and he wants to come up and see me for my birthday.
Oh, that's fantastic.
I'll add him to the list.
Don't add him to the list.
Jules, we're talking about your birthday Shawn, we talked about this.
The subject of my dad is off limits.
Look, he missed most of my birthdays anyway.
It's really complicated and, well, he's just not really presentable.
Not presentable? What does that mean? I'll tell you what it means, Juliet has a problem and as the man, it's my job to fix it.
I don't think that's what it means.
Gus, there are certain things about women that no one in the world understands.
Except for me and NBC anchor Brian Williams.
When a woman complains about a personal issue, she doesn't want the man to just listen, she wants him to solve the problem.
I don't think that's right, Shawn.
I'm telling you, man, when they say one thing, what they want is for us to do the exact opposite.
I strongly disagree.
Watch and learn from the master of women.
Look, you What the heck was that? Who knew it would be so easy to sneak onto a private golf course? Definitely not me.
Is that Juliet's dad? I hope so.
Hey, fellas! Great day for the hot links, huh, fellas? You don't look like Tito Nagasaki and Bob Jones.
I've been told on many occasions that I'm the spitting image of Tito Nagasaki.
And if this guy doesn't look like Bob Jones, well, I don't know anything.
Yeah, well, Tito and Bob were supposed to meet me for a round of golf and then a business talk.
Apparently they're not showing.
Ah, right.
Shame.
Well, sir, my name is Shawn Spencer.
This is my partner, Ingle Woods.
We're on a mission of sorts.
What can I do for you, gentlemen? I'm dating your daughter, sir.
Pleasure to meet you, Shawn.
Likewise, sir.
Why don't we play a few holes and then, uh, have a few drinks back at my chateau? Come on.
Chateau.
Mr.
O'Hara, as a budding entrepreneur myself, I was wondering, how did you make your fortune? Work.
More hard work.
And you, Shawn, as the man who's dating my daughter, how do you earn a living? I'm a psychic detective, sir.
I was asking a serious question.
I know it must sound a little crazy, but the truth is, sir, I have a unique gift and I use that gift to make the world a safer place for your daughter and ginormous ponies, that apparently we're just calling horses these days.
For instance, I am sensing that you're about to embark on a long voyage.
On your yacht, perhaps to a far away and exotic place.
Yes.
I purchased a home in the Caribbean.
My apologies.
That's a very impressive talent you got there.
Thank you, sir.
Come and join me.
This is very, very special stuff.
One of life's great pleasures.
- Smooth.
- Yeah.
So, Burton, how long have you been a single man? How do you know I'm single? How much time do you have? Seriously, why haven't you seen your daughter in 15 years? I put my heart into my work.
Look around you.
You can see the results of that focus.
Truly amazing.
Meaningless.
I'm now dedicating my life to repairing those important moments in my life.
And I would like nothing more than to share all my success with her.
Mr.
O'Hara, I am here to broker a reunion between father and daughter.
See, I've reached out to Jule, but unless she responds, I think it's wise to stay away.
See, sir, I think that would be a mistake.
I know how Juliet feels.
I didn't speak with my father for many years and I know it creates a void in your life.
I'll say this, I can and will help orchestrate this reunion.
Why are you smiling like that? It's a secret.
Mmm.
Okay, I'll tell you.
Your father's coming to your birthday.
I arranged the whole thing.
We.
We arranged the whole thing.
Mmm-hmm.
You did what? He arranged the whole thing.
I specifically said that I didn't want him here and I meant it, Shawn.
Yeah, but I thought you wanted me to do the exact opposite of that.
Why would you think that? Because I know women.
Do you have any idea how completely inappropriate it is that you went behind my back and invited him here? Yeah, but I only did all of this to show you that you're completely wrong.
He is totally presentable.
He's got a giant house and a yacht.
He doesn't have any of those things.
Gus, back me up here.
He's rich and awesome and powerful.
He's not rich and he's not powerful.
He's a conman.
I know, you know That I'm not telling the truth I know, you know They just don't have any proof Embrace the deception Learn how to bend Your worst inhibitions tend to psych you out in the end I know, you know I know, you know Security cameras disabled.
We're going in.
Ten seconds.
Hello, boys.
Good to see you, Jimmy.
Relax, Gus.
So Frank fooled us.
Big deal.
It happens to us once every seven days.
I don't like being taken behind the woodshed, Shawn.
Thank you.
Thanks, buddy.
I'll be damned.
Congratulations.
You're a conman.
I prefer confidence man.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
I'll have you know that I've been referred to as a modern-day Robin Hood by many of my colleagues.
Really? You rob from the rich and give to the poor? I con from the rich and give to myself when I am at my poorest.
Aren't your colleagues also conmen? Yes.
You know what? I'm going to do the right thing and return that scotch that we drank.
$25,000 a bottle.
I'll write an anonymous letter.
You lied to us, Frank.
That wasn't your chateau.
That was some poor stranger's house you were probably in the middle of cleaning out.
The stranger's name is Dale Fern, one of the most corrupt CEOs in corporate America.
That doesn't make it right.
No, it doesn't.
What makes it right is I gave everything back.
It's criminal to leave a house like that sitting empty.
I'm telling you the truth here, I miss my daughter.
And I have recently, and I accept the fact that it was only 11 hours ago, turned a corner.
I'm going straight.
What are you You honestly think that Gus and I were born on the Fourth of July? Or yesterday? Or to run? I'm sorry, Frank, I can't help you.
But Shawn, it was your influential words that convinced me to earn a relationship with Juliet.
Okay, I'm back in.
I can help you.
Not me.
I'm out.
Excuse us.
Hey, hey, hey! What? Behind every great man is a great woman.
And in my case, that woman is an intelligent, sophisticated, full-foreheaded stallion named Burton.
And she's black and she can dance.
I need you on this, buddy, because tonal shifts are tricky for me and this is getting all serious.
Come on.
Foghorn needs Leghorn.
They're the same rooster, Shawn.
Exactly.
Fine.
Frank! We're good.
Ground rules, we ease into the situation with Jules the same way that Gus eased into being black.
Am I the only one who's somewhat nervous about bringing a criminal into the police station? Just to clarify, my record is clean.
I've been in the biz 30 years and I've never been charged with a crime.
All the same, I think that we, meaning you, shouldn't say a single word.
Of course.
All right.
Just act natural.
All right, everybody, listen up.
The band of thieves who we've been after finally pulled the score that they've been planning.
They busted one of their low-life friends out of prison.
As you can see, they used an extremely high-powered pure oxygen blowtorch which they stole from West Medical Supply yesterday to cut through Here's a picture of the escapee.
That's Jimmy Fitz.
Oh, my God, Frank.
What are you doing here? Who's Frank? My father.
Your what? Shawn, Gus, I can see you.
Surprise.
No, no, I'm not Gus.
Um, I'm his cousin.
His cousin, uh Okay, I'll be with you shortly and we're going to have words.
Now, as I was saying, Jimmy Fitz was serving three years of a 10-year sentence.
We find him, we most likely find the rest of his crew.
Now that these guys have accomplished their mission, they're gonna lay low.
We need to jump on this scent before it goes cold.
That's not going to happen.
Frank.
Not now, Frank.
I'm sorry, Juliet.
Our personal business aside, let me just say this one thing and I promise I'll be quiet.
I'll zip it up.
I swear.
Fine.
Jimmy Fitz was one of the most talented safecrackers in the business.
I think these guys are going to pull a big score.
Otherwise they wouldn't risk breaking out a guy with Jimmy Fitz's talent out of Lompoc.
They need him to complete the score.
How does your dad know so much about this? I'll be having those words with you now.
Um, since I'm not really involved with this Oh, you're not going anywhere, Gus.
Jule, I understand you're upset.
Just so you know it's not Shawn's fault that I'm here.
Nor mine.
Nor Burton's.
It's true that Shawn did say some meaningful words that had a great deal of influence on me And of course, if they hadn't been spoken I'd be halfway to the Cayman Islands by now, but you can't blame him for this.
Frank, I'm not sure this is helping.
Well, I have some words that I hope will have an influence on you.
I don't want you here.
And I have 30 years of reasons why.
So I will do the respectful thing and leave it at that.
I understand your feelings.
But I've turned a corner.
And how many corners have you turned over the years? Still counting, right? May I say something? I know I'm in the doghouse.
Oh, you're not in the doghouse? I'm not? No.
You're going to have to work really hard to make it into the doghouse.
Okay, so I'm in the yard, which is still an enclosed area.
Unless I'm in the pound.
Jules, am I in the pound? Where's Gus? Is Gus with me? Why do I have to be in the pound? So we can get adopted together like two inseparable weeny dogs.
I don't want to be in the pound, Shawn.
Guys.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I was just going to say that Frank seems very sincere about wanting to rebuild his relationship with you.
You know, you're right.
I always go about these things the wrong way.
I shouldn't have rushed in here.
I'm sorry.
Look, can I just Can I just have a little time to think about this? Maybe I'll call you.
Uh, Jule, you know that Jimmy Fitz only pulled a score with two other guys? Yes.
Ricky Roma and Chad Emigh.
Did you know that Ricky joined the invisible choir? He's in the fertilizer business? He's dead.
Ricky's dead.
Chad is the leader of the crew that you're looking for.
Your dad was right.
We just got word that a place called General Industries was hit.
Three masked men in and out, took a bunch of construction equipment.
Heavy-duty drills, diggers, that sort of thing.
Drills, diggers Those guys are going to make their score in the next 24 hours.
I guarantee it.
Goodbye, Frank.
Tell me again AutoTrader.
Com? Trust me.
They have a ton of new cars.
Why don't you just let him borrow the Blueberry? Come on, son, what will I drive? Well, he's right.
And I mostly borrowed people's cars who didn't know they were being borrowed.
No, it's time I stepped up and bought myself a new car for the first time.
Frank, I don't think you should leave yet.
Listen, I want to spend more time with Juliet but I don't think her feelings are going to change and I don't blame her.
I'll take that one.
It's a $300,000 Bentley.
Everybody will take that one.
Here, how about this one? It's a little more practical.
Has Wi-Fi.
Then that's the winner.
What's Wi-Fi? Hey Jules, what's up? You're kidding me.
We're on our way.
So there's been complaints about construction noise downtown, right? There are dudes drilling in the middle of a parking lot.
City never issued permits for the work.
That sounds like our guys.
Frank, you were right again.
Great job.
Let's go.
No, no, no, no.
I'd better respect Juliet's wishes.
You know, she's right.
I'm not officially on this case.
Well Dust that thing.
Wow.
Really? Don't tell me.
They broke into a safe.
No.
They took an entire safe.
They were able to bypass a top-notch security system because they went underground to do it.
Look, showing up at the station is one thing, Frank, but this is a crime scene.
I thought I was clear before, the only people allowed here are the people working the case.
But Jule, I am working the case.
What are you talking about? Shawn, what is he talking about? This is awkward.
Okay, Jules, when a man truly knows a woman Shawn.
Gus hired your dad.
You must be out of your damn mind.
He hired your dad.
Okay, we hired your dad.
I can't believe you hired my father! For the record, I did not hire your father.
Well, you're in this, Gus.
You're in deep.
You're an accomplice.
In fact, if this were a crime, you'd be in cuffs right now.
Jules, the truth is we just needed an extra set of hands around Psych.
Our old assistant Kung Ken.
Who we fired twice, will not return my calls for some reason.
It's no great loss.
Your dad just happened to be around.
It is extremely frustrating to be constantly ignored.
In fact, it's getting a little hurtful, Shawn.
Okay, I only did this because your dad is so desperate to spend more time with you.
And by helping with the case, I think he thinks he's making up for the mistakes, you know, working with the good guys for a change.
You don't know him like I do.
Look, Jules, I know I don't know him the way you do, but what I do know is Frank is well aware this is a very sensitive situation.
He knows the best thing to do is just lay low.
Has anybody got a megaphone? I'm not very good at projecting.
I used to have the same problem, sir.
What you want to do is breathe through your diaphragm.
Oh, my God, this is not happening.
O'Hara, your father has his finger firmly on the pulse of this case.
You know this isn't repairing our relationship, right? Jules, I'm trying to assist you on this case.
Let me just say a few words and then I'll take a backseat.
Fine.
Make it quick.
Okay, so here's what we know so far.
Crew we've been following, led by this guy on the right, Chad Emigh, stole a top-of-the-line safe this evening.
And we now know that the safe contained legal papers from a big law firm, nothing of any real value.
Well, maybe they were after the information in the safe and not the money.
I don't think they cared what was in the safe.
Jimmy Fitz is the safecracker on the crew, right? He's rusty from the time he spent in the pokey.
He probably just wanted something to practice on.
That's very good, Shawn.
Thank you, Frank.
No, thank you.
All right, let's zero in on what the big plan is.
We got to figure out what these guys are after next.
Well, we can forget about banks.
It's federal, means the FBI.
No, we're looking at something privately owned.
Auction stamps, jewelry shows, venues that move from city to city.
Those silly coin expos you go to, do they really have coins that are worth more than their face value? Of course they do.
The Santa Barbara Expo has a featured coin every year worth millions.
In fact Oh, I'm getting something! Oh, boy.
Uh, Santa Barbara Coin Expo.
That's right.
It travels from city to city with a boatload of privately-owned, very valuable coins.
The star attraction this year is a nineteen Valued at $2 million.
Only a dozen of them in existence, and even though I do love me some 1913 liberty nickel, I have to say that That could be it.
I'm proud of you, Shawn.
- You are? - What about me? I knew the exact year of the coin.
Spoken like a man with no girlfriend.
Well, I couldn't have done it without you, Frank.
That light little pat on the buns was exactly what I needed to get over the hump.
Man, I wish you were my Little League coach.
Hey.
Hey, I was your coach in Little League.
Really? That short-fused, balding guy was you? We have no evidence they're going after the coin expo.
It's true, but until we have a better lead, it's worth checking out.
So you mean to tell me someone might want to steal the fascinatingly rare worth two million bucks from my coin expo? That's right.
Well, butter my buns and call me a biscuit, I'm shocked.
Shocked.
This is not my first coin show, kids.
No, but it might be your last if they rip you off.
I'm not worried about it.
And why is that? Because, hello, I do this for a living and I use top-notch security.
I use decoys, I use smoke screens and I use my smarts, all to outwit lowlife crooks.
I have a question, Sheldon.
How much is this puppy worth right here? Exactly ten cents.
How much will you give us for it? Two nickels or maybe ten pennies or just a different dime.
What do you think? We'll take the two nickels.
Okay, are you folks done wasting my time? No.
I'd like a list of all your employees, specifically the new hires.
What? Why? In case there's an inside man.
That's my girl.
Too soon? Too soon.
It's worth 25 cents.
Man.
Will you stop it? A real pro can get through this safe in two minutes.
Your coins are sitting ducks in there.
Please.
Have you not listened to anything I've said? I certainly haven't but I didn't think you'd notice.
It's going to take a couple of days to go through all these people.
I told you I've had the same team of people with me for years.
There are no new employees here.
Then let's get to work.
Thank you, sir.
I'm shocked.
Shocked.
This is not my first coin show, kids.
I'm getting something.
Like a power outage or something electrical.
Yeah, we did have some electrical issues so we hired someone to fix them.
So you do have a new employee? Well, no, he's temporary.
I don't count him as a real employee.
Nice work, Shawn.
Oh, no, good work from you, sir.
Let's just check that electrician, shall we? The electrician's clean.
How do you know that? Did you not just see the show I put on in there? I was scaring myself.
Trust me, he knows nothing.
He knows something.
What? Oh, my God.
Well, unless someone can get some information out of him, we have nothing to hold him on.
I remember a six-year-old who could charm her way into selling every last sip of the worst lemonade ever made.
It was sugar-free.
Jules, I've had your lemonade, it's pretty rough on the palate.
Sugar's a key ingredient.
I get it.
Trying to help.
Touchy.
Hey, Kevin, Juliet O'Hara, we met earlier.
How long have you been married? Uh, three years.
Kids? One.
A boy.
I have a little girl.
They're so much fun, aren't they? What? Jules has a kid.
What? Shawn, she's playing him.
Oh.
I feel very silly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know what I think, Kevin? I think these guys are the kind of guys that would kill me or someone like me if I got in their way, and I don't see that in you.
When I look at you, I see somebody who is scared and somebody who wants all of this to just go away.
And you know what? I can make all of it go away.
Because they haven't stolen anything from the coin expo yet.
So if you can give me information that can prevent a crime from happening, then we are one giant step closer to righting whatever you've done wrong.
Some guy approached me and offered a couple grand if I gave him info on the building where the expo is being held.
Access points, stuff like that.
You know, I needed the cash to make ends meet.
That's my girl.
I want all resources at that expo immediately.
Yes, ma'am.
North and South Teams, report.
- Clear.
- All clear.
You okay, Frank? I'm fine.
Why wouldn't I be? There.
The guy with the black briefcase.
Suit and tie.
Black briefcase, red tie, take him down.
Unarmed.
Clear.
There.
Backpack, black hat.
West corner, backpack, black hat.
Go! He's clean.
You sure? Uh, are you sure that wasn't them? Yes, they're sure.
Are you out of your damn minds? Are you kidding me? I'm not sure if you're aware, but coin enthusiasts are an easily scared group of mostly single men.
Not true.
Mr.
Gates, just calm down.
There was a very good reason for Hang on.
Yeah, Chief.
No, no, we'll be right there.
A place called Prestige Safe Deposit was just robbed by a couple of masked men.
Sheldon, are you all right? I use decoys, I use smoke screens and I use my smarts, all to outwit lowlife crooks.
No.
He's not all right.
Prestige Safe Deposit is where he keeps the real penny.
What happened out there today? The other team played better.
Maybe I should go talk to him, huh? I don't think that will be necessary.
You all right? I thought I had them there.
Means I failed on every level.
I must have been crazy to think that I could I was guessing the whole time.
I got caught up.
I shouldn't have been there, Jules.
Hey, O'Hara, I've got the surveillance photos from the Prestige Safe Deposit robbery.
You want to see these? I've done enough damage already.
As you can see, the crew is wearing gas masks.
The employees weren't an issue because they were drugged.
We found three tanks of nitrous oxide in the air shaft of the building.
These guys got in, unarmed, took the penny and made a clean exit.
These pictures are useless.
Why don't we play a few holes and then, uh, have a few drinks back at my chateau? It's criminal to leave a house like that sitting empty.
What's wrong? I'll tell you on the way.
Frank stole the penny? Unfortunately, yes.
Wait, how? He was with us in the van the whole time.
Yeah, but his crew wasn't.
He conned us, Gus.
He made us believe those thieves we were after were the ones who were going to steal the penny.
Meanwhile, Frank wanted it for himself the whole time.
He set this whole thing up so that the entire police department went down to that coin expo while his crew stole the penny from where it was actually being kept.
So what are the guys who we are after going to steal? I have no idea.
Will you please just tell me you have a plan of some kind? You're damn right I do.
Here, get on the freeway up here.
We're headed back to LA.
Well played, Frank.
Well played.
Get yourself a good night's sleep in another man's mansion and then take his yacht wherever your heart desires, right? Take your electrician and your caddy along with you.
Hey, guys.
So let me get this straight.
You roll into town under the guise of patching things up with your daughter.
Meanwhile, you're planning a con the whole time.
No.
I came to town with every intention of making things right with Juliet.
Didn't hatch the plan to take the penny until I got inside the police station and, uh, saw this other crew of thieves pulling scores in Santa Barbara.
And I could take whatever I wanted and pin it on them because the police were listening to every word I said.
You gotta understand that something like this has never fallen into my lap.
Oh.
I just couldn't stop myself.
How did you know where the real penny was, Frank? You know how.
You swiped the Prestige receipt off Sheldon's desk, didn't you? Damn it, you have got to stop doing this to your daughter.
She was just starting to allow herself to believe that you were actually a changed man.
I know.
I know.
And I wouldn't do anything to jeopardize that.
- You could have fooled me.
- I want out.
I'm quitting this life.
But it's not that easy.
See, I owe outstanding balances that need to be paid and I'm not talking about MasterCard and Visa.
This was supposed to be a clean score.
My hope was that Juliet wouldn't know it was me.
So, what do you got? The police waiting for me to take me away? No, Frank.
No cops.
Go.
If a $2 million penny is more important to you than having a relationship with your daughter, then go.
Get the hell out of here.
You said the penny was worth 100 grand.
Pipe down, kiddo.
I'm going to give you till tomorrow morning to make things right.
Otherwise I'm telling her everything, Frank.
Okay, Gus, if Frank doesn't get here and come clean in the next six seconds, I'm telling the truth.
Can I wait in the car? Hey, Jules.
Hey.
We got our guy.
Really? Uh, let me explain.
We got an anonymous tip regarding the whereabouts of Chad Emigh.
He was sleeping in his hotel room, penny right on his nightstand.
An anonymous tip? Yep.
It was the perfect bust.
We got all the evidence from his room, we are processing it now and we're about to interrogate him.
Wow.
You know, Jules, before you go in there, - I'm thinking - Hey.
We got our man.
That's my girl.
Still too soon? Still too soon.
One day at a time.
Make this easy on yourself, Chad, just tell us where the rest of your crew is and maybe we can work out a deal.
No, I don't think so.
How about you put the arrogance on ice, moron.
Lest we forget, the stolen penny was found ten inches from your thick skull when we took you down.
You planted the penny on Chad.
This is a win-win situation.
Cops get their man.
We know he's a bad guy.
That penny goes back to that D-bag Sheldon, and, uh, Juliet is none the wiser.
I told you I have an alibi, so check it out.
It's legit.
I also told you that I was sleeping like a baby.
Someone removed part of my window, came in my room like a ghost and planted it on my nightstand.
You expect us to believe that? You believe what you want.
Looks like she is the wiser, Frank.
What are you doing? O'Hara? Where are you off to, Frank? Uh, nowhere.
Just thought maybe you could handle things from here.
You know, it's funny, after Mom kicked you out and changed all the locks on the doors, I always wondered how you would sneak into my room and leave little gifts on my nightstand.
And eventually I just figured out that you were really good at taking apart a window and putting it back together.
In and out like a ghost.
I don't know what you mean, Juliet.
God, you're such a coward.
There's no need for that.
Actually, there's a long overdue need for it.
Your life has been so starved of honesty that the second you feel it creeping around the corner, you are out the nearest door.
I'm sorry you feel that way.
It's not a feeling, Frank.
It's the truth.
I'm not done.
Look, I don't know if you've realized this, but I'm not a kid anymore.
And I'm not going to sit around and waste my time and my tears on missed recitals and birthdays, but what really breaks my heart is that you won't be there for all the moments to come.
You don't know that, Juliet.
Yes, I do.
Because that's my choice.
And I don't want you there.
You don't mean that.
Sadly, I mean every word because I feel cheated.
I feel robbed.
So congratulations, Frank, your longest con of all was on your own daughter.
Again, Jules, I'm super-duper sorry, okay? I'm going to make this up to you.
I promise.
Okay.
Okay.
Bye.
You're a flawed man, Frank.
But we all are.
But deep down, I know you're a good man.
- Gus, what the hell? - Oh.
What's up? Not a lot.
Juliet is still pretty upset, and to make matters worse, they had to let Chad go.
His alibi checked out and they only have circumstantial evidence against him.
Oh, yeah, and they confirmed an eyewitness report of a middle-aged man rummaging around a bush outside Chad's hotel room.
So there's that.
Hmm.
Bummer.
That means Chad is free to pull off his score while I'm pulling off my con.
Yeah, that really is a bummer, Frank.
We got an anonymous tip regarding the whereabouts of Chad Emigh.
Wait a minute.
I just had a vision of Chad attending three very random concerts this week at the Santa Barbara Bowl.
That sounds like they're casing the place out.
Gus, I think we just figured out what they're going to rob.
Hey, can I come with? I know.
I know, it's But if I actually help you bring them down Sorry, Frank.
No can do.
Not this time.
What you need to do is throw yourself at Juliet's feet and literally beg for mercy.
You're right.
Go get them, men.
Go get them.
Don't touch anything! Nothing worth touching.
Jules, just hear us out.
We know what Chad and his crew are going to rob.
The Santa Barbara Bowl.
I had a vision of him attending three totally random concerts there.
He was casing the joint.
We did find a variety of concert ticket stubs in the evidence from Chad's hotel room.
We should bring Lassiter in and put together a plan.
Real and Don't do that.
You know what this is like? This is like the end of The Town.
Which makes me the guy from Mad Men.
Gus is Affleck and Jules is Minnie Driver.
You just mashed up The Town with Good Will Hunting.
Hey, you're wicked smart, Guster.
Oh, thanks, fella.
That was kind of you to say.
What the hell was that? That was dead-on Southie.
That was like Mister Ed if he was Irish.
Oh, that was kind of you to say.
Oh, my God.
What? Juliet, I swear on Gus's life, we had no idea he was coming here.
You have to believe me.
I know I shouldn't be here, but Shawn said I should throw myself at your feet and beg for mercy.
Have you lost your mind? You're compromising our entire operation, Frank.
Get in the van.
Frank, I didn't mean throw yourself at her feet in the middle of a stakeout.
Can I say something? I would rather you didn't.
Is this going to get awkward again? It already is.
I'll make this quick and then you never have to speak to me again.
I'm truly sorry.
The mistakes and decisions I've made are unforgivable.
I want to change, but obviously I have more soul-searching to do.
Despite my shortcomings, the one thing I can't live without is being there for the important parts of your life.
Well, you've already missed them.
They're gone.
You deserved first place in your fifth grade talent contest.
The only reason that bratty little Wendy Pence won was because her mother was flirting with the judge.
And that song you sang, Time After Time, was a beautiful choice.
You sounded like an angel.
And that clown juggler on your ninth birthday party, he was awful.
Criminal, just I have a lot of proud moments of you, Juliet.
But the proudest was when they swore you in and gave you that badge and I realized, luckily, you're nothing like me.
Why would you hide? Well, when your mother remarried and I saw what a great stepdad that Lloyd made for you and the boys, I thought maybe I'd just stay out of the way.
And another part of me thought maybe you, uh, might be embarrassed if I showed my face.
I'm not embarrassed by you.
Disappointed.
But never embarrassed.
You have a lot of great people around you, very special people.
I don't know about him.
But very special.
So I'll You know, I'll go and you guys take care.
Red ball-cap, gray sweatshirt.
He's talking to his hand.
He's mic'ed.
He's one of the crew.
Being the closeted soft rock fan that you are, are you familiar with a station called 103.
1- Surf? No, I'm not.
Oh, boy, I'm getting something too! Turn on the radio.
It's a dead station.
What? If it's a dead station, why is there a KSRF 103.
1 "The Surf" van parked out there? That's them! Should we call in the SWAT? No, there's way too many civilians.
We can't risk the crossfire.
I have an idea.
Moving in.
Moving in.
Out of the van now.
Hands in the air! Let's go.
It was a good plan, Dad.
It was the least I could do.
Almost, almost Okay, you can open.
Happy birthday! Yay.
Where are the ginormous ponies? You mean horses.
Yeah, apparently they're very expensive to rent and they poop a lot.
Oh, good call.
Thank you for this, Shawn.
Your heart was always in the right place.
Go have a blast.
Look who's here.
Mmm.
Thank you for coming.
Happy birthday, O'Hara.
Yeah.
Come here.
Not bad, huh, Frank? So what's the plan? You thinking of sticking around for a few days? Yeah, I think I might.
I might even get a regular job.
Yeah.
Where is the penny, Frank? I know the one in the evidence room is a fake and it's only a matter of time before they figure that out.
I don't have the penny.
What do you think? Do you think this is my first surprise party for a girlfriend whose dad is a professional conman? Huh? It is.
It is my first.
Where's the penny? The real penny is being put into the evidence room right about now.
Kato's breaking into the evidence room? Kato is finagling his way into the evidence room.
Finagling his way.
Oh, my God.
Hey, what are you all talking about? Gifts.
And cake.
Which one do you want to bust out first? Cake.
