1
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,311
Where did they go? My mom's leaving.
2
00:00:18,395 --> 00:00:19,729
There, in the red car.
3
00:00:19,813 --> 00:00:21,731
I can't believe it. We're too late.
4
00:00:21,815 --> 00:00:23,775
But... [stammers] ...where is Thompson?
5
00:00:23,775 --> 00:00:25,068
[Samir] I'll check inside.
6
00:00:25,068 --> 00:00:26,361
[sighs]
7
00:00:26,361 --> 00:00:29,072
It's like he just vanished.
8
00:00:29,906 --> 00:00:31,032
He's not in there either.
9
00:00:31,116 --> 00:00:32,116
[shutter clicks]
10
00:00:33,577 --> 00:00:36,079
I can't believe we lost him.
He was right here.
11
00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:37,372
[shutter clicks]
12
00:00:37,372 --> 00:00:39,374
Don't worry. We'll get him, Nia.
13
00:00:40,584 --> 00:00:42,252
I have an awkward question, though.
14
00:00:42,878 --> 00:00:45,630
[sighs] Why was he meeting with your mom?
15
00:00:46,381 --> 00:00:47,716
I have no idea.
16
00:00:49,509 --> 00:00:50,844
Let's go.
17
00:00:51,928 --> 00:00:52,929
[shutter clicks]
18
00:00:53,972 --> 00:00:56,391
[shutter clicking]
19
00:01:14,951 --> 00:01:16,995
You're pacing. A lot.
20
00:01:16,995 --> 00:01:18,371
[sighs] I'm thinking.
21
00:01:19,456 --> 00:01:23,168
Nia, is it possible that maybe...
22
00:01:24,961 --> 00:01:26,379
Never mind. [sighs]
23
00:01:26,463 --> 00:01:27,547
I'll just say it.
24
00:01:30,759 --> 00:01:32,969
Is it possible
your mom's involved in all this?
25
00:01:33,053 --> 00:01:34,763
No. It's not.
26
00:01:35,472 --> 00:01:38,016
My mom wanted to return
the Eloquent Peasant to Egypt.
27
00:01:38,016 --> 00:01:39,559
Why would she help steal it?
28
00:01:39,643 --> 00:01:41,728
Right. It makes no sense.
29
00:01:42,270 --> 00:01:44,314
But why was she meeting
with Alex Thompson then?
30
00:01:44,314 --> 00:01:46,274
And who is Alex Thompson?
31
00:01:46,358 --> 00:01:48,485
We still can't find
anything about the guy.
32
00:01:53,698 --> 00:01:55,033
Let's write down what we know.
33
00:02:06,169 --> 00:02:09,004
Perfect. You got it?
-Yep. [sighs]
34
00:02:09,673 --> 00:02:10,674
[Samir murmurs]
35
00:02:12,425 --> 00:02:13,969
Okay. Here we go.
36
00:02:16,012 --> 00:02:18,181
We know Thompson switched
the EP for the fake.
37
00:02:19,516 --> 00:02:23,103
But he didn't take it out of the library
through the tunnel.
38
00:02:23,103 --> 00:02:25,272
It was his accomplice. A woman.
39
00:02:26,273 --> 00:02:29,359
The tunnel led to the schoolhouse,
where she escaped with the EP.
40
00:02:30,026 --> 00:02:32,821
But someone thought
she was the ghost of Old Chauncy.
41
00:02:39,327 --> 00:02:43,540
[sighs] It's looking good.
But we still have a lot to figure out.
42
00:02:45,041 --> 00:02:46,960
Let's check out Oliver's hieroglyphs.
43
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,713
Good idea. Maybe we missed something.
44
00:02:53,341 --> 00:02:54,342
Actually...
45
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,139
we know more than Oliver ever did.
46
00:02:59,139 --> 00:03:02,475
So, the question is, what do we do now?
47
00:03:04,060 --> 00:03:05,186
[Layla] I'm home!
48
00:03:08,899 --> 00:03:09,941
Hey, Mom.
-Hey.
49
00:03:10,025 --> 00:03:11,192
Long day?
50
00:03:11,735 --> 00:03:14,613
Very. I can't wait to put my feet up.
51
00:03:15,322 --> 00:03:16,948
Uh, did you do anything fun?
52
00:03:17,032 --> 00:03:20,160
Oh! Just boring university business,
sweetie.
53
00:03:20,744 --> 00:03:22,621
Any cool meetings, by chance?
54
00:03:22,621 --> 00:03:28,668
Well, I met with a donor.
Not sure that qualifies as cool.
55
00:03:28,752 --> 00:03:31,922
A donor? Did he have a name, or...
56
00:03:31,922 --> 00:03:33,298
Where's this coming from?
57
00:03:34,257 --> 00:03:36,259
I'm just trying to learn more
about your job, Mom.
58
00:03:36,843 --> 00:03:40,639
Okay then.
His name was Alex Thompson. Satisfied?
59
00:03:40,639 --> 00:03:44,559
Any unique things about him?
Moles, birthmarks, a stutter maybe?
60
00:03:44,643 --> 00:03:46,269
[laughs] He was Australian?
61
00:03:46,353 --> 00:03:48,980
Australian? Interesting.
62
00:03:50,023 --> 00:03:51,358
What did you talk about?
63
00:03:51,358 --> 00:03:54,444
Honey, it's great that you're finally
taking an interest in my work,
64
00:03:54,444 --> 00:03:56,154
but aren't your friends waiting?
65
00:03:59,824 --> 00:04:00,825
[chuckles]
66
00:04:01,409 --> 00:04:02,410
[sighs]
67
00:04:02,494 --> 00:04:03,620
[Samir] Okay.
68
00:04:06,206 --> 00:04:07,249
Australian.
69
00:04:07,249 --> 00:04:09,960
Guess that narrows it down...
to one continent.
70
00:04:10,794 --> 00:04:13,547
Can we call it a night? I need a break.
-[Charli] Sure.
71
00:04:14,297 --> 00:04:17,050
I gotta meet Syd at the bookstore.
She's giving me a ride home.
72
00:04:17,634 --> 00:04:20,720
Wanna walk there together?
You have to go watch Idris, right?
73
00:04:21,471 --> 00:04:22,806
Actually, I don't.
74
00:04:22,806 --> 00:04:25,934
A friend from the community center
is helping take care of him,
75
00:04:25,934 --> 00:04:27,435
so I have more free time.
76
00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:29,688
Nice. What are you gonna do?
77
00:04:30,313 --> 00:04:33,066
If you're looking for a new hobby,
I highly recommend magic.
78
00:04:33,817 --> 00:04:35,235
Or maybe video games.
79
00:04:35,986 --> 00:04:36,987
Cool.
80
00:04:36,987 --> 00:04:39,322
Have fun, you two.
Text me if Oliver shows up.
81
00:04:41,283 --> 00:04:42,367
See ya.
82
00:04:43,410 --> 00:04:45,370
What's that? It looks like fun.
83
00:04:46,371 --> 00:04:48,331
You've never played Sector 371?
84
00:04:48,873 --> 00:04:50,083
Where have you been?
85
00:04:51,418 --> 00:04:54,921
Well, Syria. And Turkey.
86
00:04:55,422 --> 00:04:57,424
Oh, sorry.
87
00:04:58,008 --> 00:05:02,387
It's not that we didn't have them.
I just-- I never really got into them.
88
00:05:04,848 --> 00:05:06,349
I could teach you if you want.
89
00:05:07,601 --> 00:05:09,978
Sure. That'd be great. [chuckles]
90
00:05:23,658 --> 00:05:25,285
I'll help you. I promise.
-You will?
91
00:05:25,285 --> 00:05:26,369
Promise?
-I do.
92
00:05:26,453 --> 00:05:27,871
Thank you.
-Hi, Syd. Ready to go?

00:05:27,871 --> 00:05:28,955
Hey.

00:05:29,706 --> 00:05:33,001

-Audrey, right?

Amber Williams.
96
00:05:34,628 --> 00:05:36,338
It's nice to see you again.
-Oh. [chuckles]
97
00:05:36,338 --> 00:05:38,924
We still have a lot to do.
Can you hang out a bit?
98
00:05:39,841 --> 00:05:41,301
Sorry. I'll make it up to you.
99
00:05:41,301 --> 00:05:43,345
How about I pick you up
after school tomorrow,
100
00:05:43,345 --> 00:05:46,181
and we go to that magic store
that you like and then for fro-yo?

You know,
my sister is a professional magician.

No way.

Uh, in training.
105
00:05:53,063 --> 00:05:54,814
And yes, I'll take you up on that.

So weird.
It's like the lyrics just went away.

Right on my favorite track,
"She's a Rainbow."

She's a rainbow?
120
00:07:23,570 --> 00:07:25,739
Um... [stammers] ...what's the song about?
121
00:07:25,739 --> 00:07:28,992
Huh. I don't know
what the Rolling Stones were thinking.
122
00:07:29,868 --> 00:07:33,038
They wrote the original.
This is a cover by Tank and the Bangas.
123
00:07:33,038 --> 00:07:37,208
But for me, I always think about
the first day of summer vacation.
124
00:07:37,292 --> 00:07:39,544
I headed to the park after my last final,
125
00:07:39,628 --> 00:07:42,172
and there was a street performer
performing this song.
126

Everyone was watching
and clapping along. [chuckles]

Uh, does that song by any chance
mention shape-shifting?

Ah. Well, I never thought of it like that.
155
00:09:14,556 --> 00:09:16,474
But music can sometimes be ambiguous.
156
00:09:16,558 --> 00:09:19,019
It's up to the listener
to fill in the blanks.
157
00:09:19,019 --> 00:09:22,355
And, like poems,
they're open to interpretation.
158
00:09:24,858 --> 00:09:27,319
Right. Interpretation.
159
00:09:28,236 --> 00:09:31,031
[Nia] Now that you know the basics,
it's time to make your own character.

Oh, come on. Everyone has a thing.

169
00:10:02,354 --> 00:10:04,564
I swear, I'm not doing anything.
170
00:10:06,524 --> 00:10:09,861
Wait. That character looks a lot like...
171
00:10:11,571 --> 00:10:12,572
Thompson.
172
00:10:15,617 --> 00:10:17,786

through the game.

00:10:18,286 --> 00:10:19,537
What does it mean?
174
00:10:20,038 --> 00:10:22,749
Does he want us
to play the game as Thompson?

00:10:23,375 --> 00:10:24,417
[Nia] "Character."
176
00:10:26,419 --> 00:10:27,546
I think I get it.

Oliver created a character
that looks just like Thompson.
178
00:10:33,468 --> 00:10:37,305
Maybe what he's trying to say is
that Thompson's not a real person.

00:10:37,806 --> 00:10:38,807
He's a character.
180
00:10:38,807 --> 00:10:40,600
[Samir] Of course.
181
00:10:41,101 --> 00:10:42,978
He was wearing a disguise.
182
00:10:42,978 --> 00:10:45,522
Why did he have to involve
my mom in all of this?
183
00:10:45,522 --> 00:10:46,606
[Layla] Nia?
184
00:10:48,233 --> 00:10:51,152
I told you to take the trash out.
There are flies everywhere.
185
00:10:51,820 --> 00:10:53,738
I'm pretty sure I did it this morning.
186
00:10:54,364 --> 00:10:55,365
Maybe I...
187
00:10:58,577 --> 00:10:59,661
forgot.
188
00:11:00,829 --> 00:11:02,163
Just kidding. [chuckles]
189
00:11:02,831 --> 00:11:05,208
Nia, Samir, meet Rainbow.
190
00:11:05,292 --> 00:11:07,127
Gotcha! [laughs]
-[laughs]
191
00:11:07,127 --> 00:11:10,255
[on computer]
Have you seen her dressed in blue? ♪
192
00:11:12,424 --> 00:11:14,718
See the sky in front of you ♪
193
00:11:16,970 --> 00:11:19,055
And her face is like a sail ♪
194
00:11:19,139 --> 00:11:21,224
Speck of white so fair and pale ♪
195
00:11:21,808 --> 00:11:24,227
Have you seen a lady fairer? ♪
196
00:11:25,353 --> 00:11:28,064
[gasps] They really are singing about me.
197
00:11:28,148 --> 00:11:31,026
I didn't believe you at first,
but you were right.
198
00:11:31,026 --> 00:11:33,278
This is my song. [laughs]
199
00:11:33,945 --> 00:11:37,908
Clearly, Oliver likes it,
but it doesn't mention shape-shifting.
200
00:11:39,117 --> 00:11:42,203
Malcolm said
song lyrics are open to interpretation.
201
00:11:42,871 --> 00:11:45,957
Maybe Oliver imagined Rainbow
as a shape-shifter when he heard it.
202
00:11:46,750 --> 00:11:50,128
Well, if Oliver released Rainbow,
it must be to help us with the mystery.
203
00:11:50,212 --> 00:11:51,213
[mouthing words] Right.
204
00:11:51,213 --> 00:11:53,506
Maybe she can shape-shift
into different people.
205
00:11:54,132 --> 00:11:55,759
Not sure how that would help.
206
00:11:56,343 --> 00:11:57,928
She's invisible, remember?
207
00:11:58,678 --> 00:12:00,430
I wish we could shape-shift.
208
00:12:01,056 --> 00:12:03,308
I'd totally be Nia for a day. [chuckles]
209
00:12:03,308 --> 00:12:05,435
Get to play all these cool games.
210
00:12:20,408 --> 00:12:21,952
What just happened?
211
00:12:21,952 --> 00:12:25,413
Amazing. Why didn't you tell me
you could do that, Charli?
212
00:12:25,997 --> 00:12:27,290
I didn't know I could.
213
00:12:27,374 --> 00:12:29,584
I just thought of doing it,
and it happened.
214
00:12:30,168 --> 00:12:31,294
Nia, you try.
215
00:12:32,170 --> 00:12:33,588
[breathes deeply]
216
00:12:35,423 --> 00:12:38,385
Uh, you're still you, Nia.
217
00:12:39,970 --> 00:12:41,721
And change into me!
218
00:12:43,098 --> 00:12:45,225
Charli,
what's that bracelet you're wearing?
219
00:12:45,725 --> 00:12:46,726
Rainbow gave it to me.
220
00:12:47,686 --> 00:12:48,979
[Nia] That must be the key.
221
00:12:48,979 --> 00:12:53,149
In Sector 371, when a character gives you
their armor, you absorb their powers.
222
00:12:53,233 --> 00:12:54,985
That must be why you shape-shifted.
223
00:12:55,569 --> 00:12:57,404
In that case, pick a color.
224
00:12:57,404 --> 00:12:58,863
[Samir] I'll take blue.
225
00:13:03,785 --> 00:13:05,453
Can I turn into anybody I want?
226
00:13:05,537 --> 00:13:08,415
Rainbow, how did you shape-shift
into my mom earlier?
227
00:13:08,415 --> 00:13:10,041
Charli showed me a photo of her.
228
00:13:10,125 --> 00:13:13,378
I concentrated on it
and told my mind to shape-shift.
229
00:13:13,378 --> 00:13:17,048
If it's someone standing in front of me,
I just look at them and do the same.
230
00:13:17,132 --> 00:13:22,512
So, it needs to be someone we can see,
either through a photo or in person.
231
00:13:23,555 --> 00:13:25,348
I'll try you, then, and you try Charli.
232
00:13:41,239 --> 00:13:44,910
Whoa. This is so strange.
233
00:13:44,910 --> 00:13:46,620
That's an understatement.
234
00:13:46,620 --> 00:13:48,455
This is so cool!
235
00:13:48,455 --> 00:13:50,916
I've never shared my powers
with anyone before.
236
00:13:51,666 --> 00:13:53,877
Well, there's never been anyone
to share them with.
237
00:13:53,877 --> 00:13:57,380
I guess that makes sense.
You're the only character in the song.
238
00:13:58,298 --> 00:14:01,760
Sounds lonely though.
-[scoffs] I'm not lonely. I'm happy.
239
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,054
I've seen so many cool new things
since I arrived.
240
00:14:04,054 --> 00:14:05,388
[gasps] Like this.
241
00:14:07,974 --> 00:14:09,351
By the way, what is this thing?
242
00:14:12,354 --> 00:14:15,065
Let's go back to ourselves first.
243
00:14:15,065 --> 00:14:17,984
This is getting too weird.
244
00:14:25,533 --> 00:14:27,535
[sighs]
-[Rainbow] So let me get this straight.
245
00:14:27,619 --> 00:14:31,748
A ghost named Oliver released me
to help you catch this guy?
246
00:14:32,374 --> 00:14:33,375
Alex Thompson?
247
00:14:33,375 --> 00:14:37,420
Yes. The only problem is,
we think he was in disguise,
248
00:14:37,504 --> 00:14:40,048
so we don't know
what his real face looks like.
249
00:14:40,048 --> 00:14:41,967
What if we talk to Greg Nguyen?
250
00:14:42,842 --> 00:14:45,720
The music student who thought
he saw Old Chauncy that night.
251
00:14:45,804 --> 00:14:46,805
I just looked him up.
252
00:14:46,805 --> 00:14:50,267
He's holding auditions for his rock band
tomorrow on campus.
253
00:14:50,267 --> 00:14:52,185
That sounds like a great idea.
254
00:14:52,269 --> 00:14:55,939
But first, I think we should talk
to someone we know spoke to Thompson.
255
00:14:57,023 --> 00:15:01,152
The librarian. She's the one who has to
check him in and out of the archive room.
256
00:15:01,236 --> 00:15:02,821
But it's closed.
257
00:15:03,405 --> 00:15:05,365
We can't use my dad to get in again.
258
00:15:05,865 --> 00:15:06,866
We'll go as McCormack.
259
00:15:06,950 --> 00:15:10,829
He's friends with the librarian.
I saw them at the bookstore today.
260
00:15:10,829 --> 00:15:13,873
You should do it, Nia.
You know what he sounds like.
261
00:15:15,041 --> 00:15:16,626
I guess I can give it a try.
262
00:15:16,710 --> 00:15:18,712
What do I do
if I don't know what to say, though?
263
00:15:20,922 --> 00:15:23,633
Just clear your throat.
Old men are always doing that.
264
00:15:31,099 --> 00:15:32,309
[gasps]
265
00:15:34,394 --> 00:15:35,604
[clears throat]
266
00:15:36,813 --> 00:15:38,857
[sighs] Let's do this.
267
00:15:41,109 --> 00:15:42,569
You'll be great, Nia!
268
00:15:44,154 --> 00:15:45,155
[sighs]
269
00:15:49,242 --> 00:15:50,243
[librarian] Todd.
270
00:15:51,578 --> 00:15:52,621
What a nice surprise.
271
00:15:54,706 --> 00:15:57,250
[clears throat] Uh, hi there.
272
00:15:59,961 --> 00:16:01,630
[chuckles] Nice bracelet.
273
00:16:01,630 --> 00:16:04,299
Oh! [stammers] Um, my niece gave me that.
274
00:16:04,966 --> 00:16:06,968
That's cute. Which one?
275
00:16:07,052 --> 00:16:09,471
The, uh, younger one?
276
00:16:09,971 --> 00:16:11,056
Well, I'm glad you came.
277
00:16:11,056 --> 00:16:14,726
It's been so quiet
since we closed to the public.
278
00:16:14,726 --> 00:16:16,478
Any news about when you might reopen?
279
00:16:16,478 --> 00:16:18,480
It all depends on the investigation,
I suppose.
280
00:16:19,898 --> 00:16:21,650
Actually, now that you mention it,
281
00:16:21,650 --> 00:16:24,027
I have a couple of questions.
-Oh, wait.
282
00:16:24,027 --> 00:16:25,820
[chuckles] Guess what I'm reading?
283
00:16:26,738 --> 00:16:28,240
The book you recommended yesterday.
284
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,158
About ancient Egyptian poetry.
285
00:16:32,244 --> 00:16:35,080
I just read this poem,
and I wanted to pick your brain.
286
00:16:36,122 --> 00:16:40,377
Is it a fictional reconstruction
or an actual philological examination?
287
00:16:41,419 --> 00:16:46,633
Maybe it's a matter of interpretation.
288
00:16:51,346 --> 00:16:53,348
Charli says she's almost here.
289
00:16:53,348 --> 00:16:55,976
That's beautiful. Where is it?
290
00:16:55,976 --> 00:16:58,520
[Samir]
It's in Syria, the country I'm from.
291
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,105
How come you left?
292
00:17:01,398 --> 00:17:02,732
There was a war.
293
00:17:02,816 --> 00:17:07,195
It was too dangerous to stay there,
so my family and I came here.
294
00:17:08,655 --> 00:17:10,198
Well, look at the bright side.
295
00:17:10,282 --> 00:17:13,075
Now you get to live in a new place
and make new friends.
296
00:17:13,159 --> 00:17:16,371
Hey! Uh, sorry I'm late.
I got hung up with my sister.
297
00:17:16,912 --> 00:17:20,833
It was fun, actually.
We had the best fro-yo ever. [chuckles]
298
00:17:22,168 --> 00:17:24,545
Hey, Rainbow, is something wrong?
299
00:17:24,629 --> 00:17:27,424
Me? No. I'm happy as a rainbow.
300
00:17:30,802 --> 00:17:35,307
[librarian] Just incredible.
What imaginations the Egyptians had.
301
00:17:35,307 --> 00:17:37,225
What grasp of poetic expression.
302
00:17:38,727 --> 00:17:39,811
Am I boring you?
303
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:41,688
Oh, no, not at all.
304
00:17:41,688 --> 00:17:43,815
But since I'm here, I heard a rumor
305
00:17:43,899 --> 00:17:46,443
that a man checked out the Eloquent
Peasant the day it was stolen.
306
00:17:46,443 --> 00:17:49,279
What do you know about him?
-You know I can't discuss the case.
307
00:17:49,279 --> 00:17:50,572
Investigator's orders.
308
00:17:50,572 --> 00:17:51,990
Right. I knew that.
309
00:17:51,990 --> 00:17:55,660
[smacks lips] It's just so baffling.
310
00:17:56,620 --> 00:17:59,623
I just can't believe the Peasant was taken
right from under my nose.
311
00:18:00,123 --> 00:18:02,375
I expect President Barnes will fire me
any day now.
312
00:18:02,459 --> 00:18:05,837
President Barnes wouldn't do that.
She knows it wasn't your fault.
313
00:18:05,921 --> 00:18:07,714
So, now you like President Barnes?
314
00:18:08,298 --> 00:18:11,092
You're always going on about how
she should've never been president,
315
00:18:11,176 --> 00:18:12,719
that she's in over her head.
316
00:18:12,719 --> 00:18:14,471
What's gotten into you today?
317
00:18:15,472 --> 00:18:17,974
Uh, I-- Uh, I--
318
00:18:18,058 --> 00:18:22,312
I'm sorry, I just remembered
I have, uh, papers to grade.
319
00:18:22,312 --> 00:18:23,521
[clears throat]
320
00:18:24,731 --> 00:18:25,732
Excuse me.
321
00:18:31,404 --> 00:18:33,490
Oh! Professor McCormack.
-[gasps] Ah!
322
00:18:33,490 --> 00:18:36,368
I take it you got my note
about the four o'clock meeting?
323
00:18:37,369 --> 00:18:38,620
Course. The meeting.
324
00:18:39,371 --> 00:18:40,580
Where is it again?
325
00:18:40,664 --> 00:18:41,915
Conference room B.
326
00:18:41,915 --> 00:18:45,252
As faculty advisor to the board,
it's very important you're there.
327
00:18:45,835 --> 00:18:46,836
Important.
328
00:18:47,712 --> 00:18:49,506
Could you, um, elaborate?
329
00:18:50,006 --> 00:18:52,175
The situation with President Barnes.
330
00:18:53,927 --> 00:18:54,928
Oh.
331
00:18:57,514 --> 00:18:58,890
I'll see you there.
332
00:19:08,108 --> 00:19:09,442
McCormack's a liar.
333
00:19:10,110 --> 00:19:11,778
W-Wait, w-what?
334
00:19:11,778 --> 00:19:14,281
He always pretended
to like my mom in public,
335
00:19:14,281 --> 00:19:17,701
but the librarian said
he actually doesn't. At all.
336
00:19:18,994 --> 00:19:22,414
And now my mom's bosses,
the board of directors,
337
00:19:22,414 --> 00:19:23,999
are meeting about her.
338
00:19:23,999 --> 00:19:25,750
Maybe it's just a misunderstanding.
339
00:19:26,376 --> 00:19:29,546
Good try, Rainbow,
but I-I think this is serious.
340
00:19:29,546 --> 00:19:31,339
[Samir] Are you gonna tell your mom?
341
00:19:31,423 --> 00:19:34,384
I can't.
How would I explain how I know about it?
342
00:19:35,260 --> 00:19:39,014
I need to get into that meeting.
-But you can't shape-shift into McCormack.
343
00:19:39,014 --> 00:19:40,181
He'll be there.
344
00:19:40,265 --> 00:19:41,600
I'll find another way.
345
00:19:42,601 --> 00:19:44,185
Rainbow, will you come with me?
346
00:19:44,269 --> 00:19:46,605
You're invisible. I might need your help.
-Of course.
347
00:19:46,605 --> 00:19:48,356
But I'm sure it won't be that bad.
348
00:19:48,857 --> 00:19:51,443
Charli and I can talk to the guy
who saw Old Chauncy.
349
00:19:51,443 --> 00:19:52,736
Sounds like a plan.
350
00:19:56,197 --> 00:19:57,282
[Samir] What's all this?
351
00:19:57,282 --> 00:19:58,783
It's Founder's Week.
352
00:19:58,867 --> 00:20:01,661
It's a big event
to celebrate Wickford's bicentennial.
353
00:20:03,204 --> 00:20:07,918
So, Greg's band auditions are going on
right now in the music building.
354
00:20:08,627 --> 00:20:10,587
How about we shape-shift
into college students
355
00:20:10,587 --> 00:20:12,172
and pretend we're trying out?
356
00:20:13,298 --> 00:20:15,508
I-I don't have to play, do I?
357
00:20:15,592 --> 00:20:17,510
Don't worry, we'll just fake it.
358
00:20:17,594 --> 00:20:20,347
It's a rock band,
which is like 80% attitude anyway.
359
00:20:21,014 --> 00:20:22,015
Come on.
360
00:20:22,724 --> 00:20:24,684
[Donovan] Thank you all for being here.
361
00:20:26,686 --> 00:20:29,105
It's already started.
We need a plan to get in.
362
00:20:30,148 --> 00:20:32,359
[Rainbow] I have an idea. How about her?
363
00:20:33,985 --> 00:20:35,195
Not a bad thought.
364
00:20:36,112 --> 00:20:40,033
I'm sorry for the short notice,
but it is something of an urgent matter.
365
00:20:40,033 --> 00:20:41,785
Some new evidence has come to light.
366
00:20:42,661 --> 00:20:43,662
Hi. Uh...
367
00:20:44,412 --> 00:20:45,580
University catering.
368
00:20:45,664 --> 00:20:47,499
I haven't called anyone.
369
00:20:47,499 --> 00:20:50,877
Right. Well, we're always on it.
-We're okay. Thanks.
370
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,129
Donovan, please. Continue.
371
00:20:53,213 --> 00:20:54,839
Uh, speak for yourself, Todd.
372
00:20:55,340 --> 00:20:56,925
I'd like a decaf, please.
373
00:20:57,509 --> 00:20:58,635
A black coffee, please.
374
00:20:58,635 --> 00:21:00,053
Tea with, uh, lemon and honey.
375
00:21:00,053 --> 00:21:01,805
Is that pastry gluten-free?
376
00:21:01,805 --> 00:21:02,931
Yes?
377
00:21:04,224 --> 00:21:05,392
I'll just have a water.
378
00:21:09,020 --> 00:21:10,605
[whispering] Here goes nothing.
379
00:21:12,232 --> 00:21:13,608
Which one is decaf?
380
00:21:14,192 --> 00:21:15,277
What is decaf?
381
00:21:21,241 --> 00:21:23,493
Okay. I vote for those two.
382
00:21:25,328 --> 00:21:26,663
Come on. Now's our chance.
383
00:21:38,466 --> 00:21:41,011
We've narrowed down our list of suspects
to this man,
384
00:21:41,970 --> 00:21:44,806
who goes by an alias, Alex Thompson.
385
00:21:45,390 --> 00:21:47,851
Here he is
checking out the Eloquent Peasant
386
00:21:47,851 --> 00:21:49,394
the day it was stolen.
387
00:21:49,394 --> 00:21:50,812
What do we know about him?
388
00:21:50,896 --> 00:21:51,897
[Donovan] Nothing yet.
389
00:21:51,897 --> 00:21:53,899
I'm guessing
his name's not really Thompson.
390
00:21:53,899 --> 00:21:56,735
Probably works in the black market
selling rare antiquities.
391
00:21:56,735 --> 00:21:59,154
Anyway, we had no leads
392
00:21:59,154 --> 00:22:03,450
until this envelope was dropped off
at my office anonymously today.
393
00:22:03,450 --> 00:22:06,077
Anonymous? Isn't that suspicious?
394
00:22:06,661 --> 00:22:08,163
Yes and no. [sighs]
395
00:22:08,163 --> 00:22:10,957
It seems like one of Layla's accomplices,
396
00:22:11,041 --> 00:22:13,043
assuming she's guilty, of course...
-[Boyd] Mmm.
397
00:22:13,043 --> 00:22:15,003
...is trying to double-cross her.
398
00:22:16,796 --> 00:22:18,423
[Boyd] How is that possible?
399
00:22:18,423 --> 00:22:20,258
[water pouring]
400
00:22:21,218 --> 00:22:22,469
Ah!
401
00:22:22,469 --> 00:22:23,595
I am so sorry.
402
00:22:23,595 --> 00:22:24,846
That's okay.
403
00:22:26,097 --> 00:22:28,516
Could we get some napkins, please?
-Right. Yes.
404
00:22:30,352 --> 00:22:33,104
That's your mom in those photos, right?
-Yeah.
405
00:22:33,188 --> 00:22:34,773
And that's not all.
406
00:22:35,649 --> 00:22:38,151
This recording came with the photos.
407
00:22:39,986 --> 00:22:41,196
[Thompson] So, Layla,
408
00:22:41,196 --> 00:22:44,074
how much do you think we could get
for the Eloquent Peasant?
409
00:22:44,074 --> 00:22:46,409
[Layla] Five million. Maybe a little more.
410
00:22:46,910 --> 00:22:48,328
[all muttering]
411
00:22:54,459 --> 00:22:56,795
What's up? I'm Greg. Welcome.
412
00:22:57,671 --> 00:22:58,672
Stage is all yours.
413
00:22:59,548 --> 00:23:02,008
Actually, we wanted to ask you
a question first.
414
00:23:02,509 --> 00:23:04,177
Um, we read in the school paper
415
00:23:04,261 --> 00:23:07,514
that you saw the ghost of Old Chauncy
on October 3rd?
416
00:23:07,514 --> 00:23:08,890
Oh, that.
417
00:23:08,974 --> 00:23:11,309
Listen, man, I have a lot of auditions
to get through today,
418
00:23:11,393 --> 00:23:13,770
so how about you guys play
and then we'll talk after?
419
00:23:15,647 --> 00:23:16,648
[sighs]
420
00:23:22,153 --> 00:23:23,196
Whenever you're ready.
421
00:23:25,282 --> 00:23:26,950
And a one. A two.
422
00:23:26,950 --> 00:23:28,493
A one. Two. Three. Four.
423
00:23:28,577 --> 00:23:30,704
[playing melodic riffs]
424
00:23:37,669 --> 00:23:40,213
[board members muttering]
-This is a misunderstanding.
425
00:23:40,297 --> 00:23:41,965
President Barnes is not a criminal.
426
00:23:41,965 --> 00:23:43,717
Then why was she meeting
with the main suspect?
427
00:23:43,717 --> 00:23:45,468
[board member 1]
I don't buy it. What's her motive?
428
00:23:45,552 --> 00:23:46,761
[Donovan] Still trying to find one.
429
00:23:46,845 --> 00:23:48,930
We need to search the President's office.
-[board member 2] Yes.
430
00:23:49,014 --> 00:23:50,891
This is university property, after all.
431
00:23:50,891 --> 00:23:53,852
If we need to remove her,
we should do so immediately.
432
00:23:53,852 --> 00:23:56,021
The reputation of this institution
is at stake.
433
00:23:56,021 --> 00:23:57,814
[board members clamoring]
434
00:23:57,898 --> 00:24:00,066
[melodic riffs continue]
435
00:24:00,150 --> 00:24:01,651
[Greg applauding]
436
00:24:02,444 --> 00:24:03,445
Awesome.
437
00:24:04,029 --> 00:24:06,823
That was amazing.
I didn't know you could play like that.
438
00:24:07,532 --> 00:24:10,285
It's been a few years.
-[sighs]
439
00:24:10,285 --> 00:24:12,329
So, about Old Chauncy...
440
00:24:12,329 --> 00:24:16,166
Oh, yeah.
Uh, the editors totally didn't believe me.
441
00:24:16,166 --> 00:24:19,336
They wouldn't even give me a real article,
but I swear I saw him.
442
00:24:19,336 --> 00:24:20,545
I even have proof.
443
00:24:23,089 --> 00:24:25,926
I took this before he disappeared
into the woods.
444
00:24:25,926 --> 00:24:29,387
And I-I tried to run after him,
but he was gone.
445
00:24:30,597 --> 00:24:31,973
I only found this.
446
00:24:33,099 --> 00:24:34,935
A ghost footprint.
447
00:24:37,187 --> 00:24:39,689
I mean, people have them. Why not ghosts?
448
00:24:39,773 --> 00:24:42,067
Um, right. Maybe. [chuckles]
449
00:24:42,067 --> 00:24:43,902
Thanks. That was very helpful.
450
00:24:43,902 --> 00:24:45,111
Hey, so about this band...
451
00:24:45,195 --> 00:24:47,781
[sighs] I don't know if I really need
a triangle player, but--
452
00:24:47,781 --> 00:24:50,450
Then I'll stop you right there.
We only play together.
453
00:24:50,450 --> 00:24:51,785
Right?
454
00:24:51,785 --> 00:24:53,828
It's true. Sorry.
455
00:24:56,581 --> 00:25:00,085
[whispering] Hey. Ghost footprints aren't
really a thing. Should we tell him?
456
00:25:00,085 --> 00:25:01,670
Nah. Let him believe it.
457
00:25:02,254 --> 00:25:04,464
Of course you wanna get rid of Layla,
McCormack.
458
00:25:04,548 --> 00:25:06,424
You're still upset you didn't get the job.
459
00:25:06,925 --> 00:25:10,178
She can clearly be heard on the recording
negotiating to sell the Eloquent Peasant.
460
00:25:10,262 --> 00:25:12,847
I know her well. She's not a thief.
461
00:25:12,931 --> 00:25:16,226
So she randomly had coffee with the thief.
Come on.
462
00:25:16,226 --> 00:25:18,353
I can't believe the way they're talking
about your mom.
463
00:25:18,353 --> 00:25:20,939
Behind her back too.
It's-- It's so unfair.
464
00:25:20,939 --> 00:25:23,900
With all due respect,
calling into question my integrity--
465
00:25:23,984 --> 00:25:25,527
Everybody, calm down.
466
00:25:27,737 --> 00:25:30,115
I agree we need to search
the president's office.
467
00:25:30,115 --> 00:25:31,199
[board members affirming]
468
00:25:31,283 --> 00:25:34,202
But I also think
she deserves a chance to defend herself.
469
00:25:34,286 --> 00:25:35,745
[board members murmur]
470
00:25:35,829 --> 00:25:38,957
How about you go pay her a friendly visit
at her home tomorrow?
471
00:25:39,624 --> 00:25:41,001
See what she has to say.
472
00:25:41,710 --> 00:25:44,004
I can do that.
-[McCormack] Don't be too friendly.
473
00:25:44,588 --> 00:25:46,631
This is a serious crime
we're talking about.
474
00:25:46,715 --> 00:25:48,508
Yeah, agreed.
-Absolutely. Absolutely.
475
00:25:48,592 --> 00:25:50,594
[board member 1]
It really doesn't mean anything.
476
00:25:50,594 --> 00:25:52,637
[board members arguing]
477
00:26:04,524 --> 00:26:05,775
What happened in there?
478
00:26:05,859 --> 00:26:07,444
Oh, nothing.
479
00:26:07,444 --> 00:26:10,655
You glitched or something.
And so did your powers.
480
00:26:10,739 --> 00:26:12,073
I was just a little tired.
481
00:26:13,033 --> 00:26:16,703
But I had a sip of that coffee stuff,
and I'm feeling great now.
482
00:26:16,703 --> 00:26:19,456
I wish I had one of those doughnut holes.
They looked amazing.
483
00:26:19,456 --> 00:26:21,374
Rainbow, you don't have to pretend--
484
00:26:23,001 --> 00:26:24,002
Wait.
485
00:26:25,295 --> 00:26:26,296
Holes?
486
00:26:27,881 --> 00:26:29,174
Oh, no.
-What?
487
00:26:30,258 --> 00:26:32,761
The hole in my basement.
We forgot to close it.
488
00:26:32,761 --> 00:26:34,471
That doesn't sound like a big deal.
489
00:26:34,471 --> 00:26:37,682
It is. The investigator's coming
to my house, and she might see it.
490
00:26:37,766 --> 00:26:38,892
We gotta go.
491
00:26:38,892 --> 00:26:40,936
[board members clamoring]
492
00:26:40,936 --> 00:26:43,647
Uh, can you clean up your mess, please?
493
00:26:47,817 --> 00:26:50,320
That was awesome. [chuckles]
494
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,324
I can't believe you play guitar.
I mean, why didn't you mention it before?
495
00:26:54,324 --> 00:26:55,784
That's your thing.
496
00:26:57,410 --> 00:26:59,287
Hey, what's up?
497
00:27:00,705 --> 00:27:02,207
My cousin taught me the guitar.
498
00:27:03,500 --> 00:27:05,919
I used to play all the time, but I...
499
00:27:07,754 --> 00:27:10,215
I haven't really wanted to
ever since he, um--
500
00:27:11,675 --> 00:27:12,884
since he passed away.
501
00:27:13,885 --> 00:27:16,972
I thought maybe
I could just find a new thing.
502
00:27:18,265 --> 00:27:21,601
Samir, I'm so sorry.
503
00:27:22,602 --> 00:27:27,774
[stammers] You know, uh, Malcolm told me
music can transport you to another time.
504
00:27:27,774 --> 00:27:31,528
I guess sometimes it can take you
to places you don't wanna go.
505
00:27:33,071 --> 00:27:34,114
Exactly.
506
00:27:34,781 --> 00:27:38,618
Well, if it helps, you're so good.
507
00:27:39,744 --> 00:27:43,498
I'd love to hear you play again sometime.
But only when you're ready.
508
00:27:44,291 --> 00:27:45,417
Thank you.
509
00:27:45,417 --> 00:27:46,751
[cell phone buzzes]
510
00:27:48,420 --> 00:27:49,421
It's Nia.
511
00:27:49,421 --> 00:27:53,508
She says to meet at her place right away,
and she wants me to bring a bucket of--
512
00:27:54,134 --> 00:27:55,886
Wait. What?
513
00:27:59,723 --> 00:28:01,641
You two are pretty good for first-timers.
514
00:28:01,725 --> 00:28:02,976
Let's hope it works.
515
00:28:04,477 --> 00:28:07,063
I still can't believe
they have a recording of your mom
516
00:28:07,147 --> 00:28:08,565
talking to Alex Thompson.
517
00:28:08,565 --> 00:28:09,649
Me neither.
518
00:28:09,733 --> 00:28:11,109
It was seriously scary.
519
00:28:11,818 --> 00:28:13,987
When I heard it, my heart stopped.
520
00:28:15,405 --> 00:28:19,117
And then everybody started saying
all these lies about my mom.
521
00:28:20,076 --> 00:28:22,871
I was freaking out
and had no idea what to do.
522
00:28:24,122 --> 00:28:25,582
[Charli] I'm so sorry, Nia.
523
00:28:26,583 --> 00:28:28,293
Don't worry. We'll figure this out.
524
00:28:29,252 --> 00:28:32,172
Well, good job, everyone.
I think we're done.
525
00:28:33,548 --> 00:28:37,427
Wow. This paint and spackling
can really hide everything.
526
00:28:47,604 --> 00:28:51,566
Well, at least no one will ever know there
was a tunnel leading into your basement.
527
00:28:51,650 --> 00:28:53,652
So that's one thing
you won't have to worry about.
528
00:28:54,152 --> 00:28:56,071
Let's figure out who stole
the Eloquent Peasant
529
00:28:56,071 --> 00:28:57,614
so I can clear my mom's name.
530
00:28:57,614 --> 00:28:59,074
Then I'll stop worrying.
531
00:28:59,074 --> 00:29:00,700
[shutter clicking]
-[Charli] Okay. Bye!
532
00:29:00,784 --> 00:29:01,618
[Samir] Night.
