Along Came a Spider
[Woman] Tonight was your first
time at the club, wasn't it?
[Distorted Male Voice] No, I've
been there a few times before.
[Woman] Really? Well, how come
I haven't seen you?
[Man] I noticed you
[Woman Laughs]
Well, thank you.
Well, how come it took you
till tonight to talk to me?
You're not shy, are you?
[Man Sighs]
Maybe a little.
You, uh,
you okay with this?
Just taking off
[Woman]
I trust myself.
- [Man] What do you mean?
- Well, I believe in human nature.
You know, that people
are basically good.
You're right.
Most people are.
Tracie, you spell that
with a "Y"or "l-E"?
"L-E. " Guys are always
assuming I'm a T-R-A-C-Y.
- Oh, I hate guys who assume.
- Me too.
[Tracie]
You look like a James.
Nope, just Jim.
- How about Jimmy?
- No, just Jim.
[Tracie]
Oh, come on, you are shy.
[Jim] Look, um, there's something
I've been meaning to tell you.
I think you have
beautiful hair.
- [Tracie] Oh, you think so?
- Yeah.
[Man On Radio] Brown Bag, this is
Brown Bird. We have audio-visual.
[Tracie]
Do you think it's sexy?
Brown Bag,
close into one click.
Yeah. There's nothing sexier than
short hair on a beautiful woman.
What is it about big hair
that turns men on?
What is it about big hair
that turns guys on anyway?
Bad taste?
[Laughs]
Look at me.
I want to see your eyes.
Innocent.
Just the way I like 'em.
That's him.
That's our man.
[Sam] Car is registered
to a Jim Gelway.
[Man On Radio] Brown Bird,
this is Brown Bag, move in.
[Tracie]
Mmm.
Mmm.
He's testing, Tracie.
Tell him...
he's got the Midas touch.
You got the Midas touch.
That's 'cause
I'm God's gift to women.
You know what I think
you are?
I think you're
a natural-born cocksucker.
And I think it's time you did
what you were born to do.
No.
What is this?
- What the f*** is this?
- Oh, sh*t.
- You f***ing b*tch!
- Bust him.
[Sam] Brown Bird,
Brown Bag, move in! Take him!
- Take him now. Now!
- [Siren Wailing]
[Man On Loudspeaker]
Pull your vehicle to the side,
- your hands where I can see them.
- F***!
Police!
Pull over... now!
- I got him, Alex.
- [Siren Wailing]
- [Screams]
- [Tires Squealing]
- [Man] Call for help now!
- Tracie! Hold on!
Don't move, stay where you are!
Stay still!
[Gasps]
Alex.
Hold on,
we're going to get you.
- Come on, guys, help out.
- There's nothing to hook onto.
Hold on!
Alex?
- [Screams]
- Tracie!
[Bell Tolling]
- Hey, Hannah.
- Hi, Megan.
I hope we don't have
that big math test.
[Speaking Russian]
[Speaking Russian]
- Jezzie.
- Hey, Megan.
Jezzie, guess who
called me again last night?
Oh, let's see, um...
Ah, good morning, Dimitri.
Hey, Megan, I downloaded
some really cool GIFs.
- You want to see them?
- Yeah, sure, what are they?
[Chattering]
Agent Flannigan.
- Check in Starodubov and Rose.
- Check.
Jezz, what do we call Russkies these
days? Russians? Former Soviets?
- I forget.
- New world order, Devine.
Get used to it.
Charles Lindbergh, Lucky Lindy
or the Lone Eagle as he was called,
is our subject today
because he was...
the first man to... what?
- Megan?
- Fly over the Atlantic?
Very good. First man to fly solo,
nonstop from New York City to Paris,
and that was 1927.
An astonishing accomplishment, which
brings us to today's assignment.
Let's see which of you can
navigate, or fly if you will,
from our home base
to our hero's website here...
in the fewest number
of links, all right?
And you're off.
[Students Typing]
Well, that's very clever,
Dimitri.
[Chattering]
Megan, might I have
a word with you?
- Save me a seat, okay?
- Okay.
Come to my office.
Take a seat.
[Clears Throat]
Now, Megan, you know I understand...
the particular pressures
of your life.
and the enormous expectations...
all adds up to
rather a lot, doesn't it?
- Yes, sir.
- Hmm. But, none of that excuses...
- your breaking the honor code.
- What?
I know all about
you and Dimitri, Megan.
We don't tolerate cheating,
now do we?
Cheating? Mr. Soneji,
there's been a mistake.
We only pass notes,
you know, jokes and stuff.
Megan, before you go
any further,
you best have a look
at that.
- Mr. Soneji?
- Yes?
This essay,
it isn't mine.
Beg your pardon?
What do you mean?
Oh, my.
Oh, dear girl, I'm...
[Chuckles]
Oh, dear, dear.
[Muffled Scream]
[Chattering]
- [Doorknob Rattling]
- [Knock On Door]
Gary, why is
the door locked?
- Oh, my God, what happened?
- She's collapsed.
She's collapsed.
I tell you what, you stay with her.
- I'll get some help.
- Okay. Megan?
Hey, sweetheart, can you hear me?
Megan?
- Hey, Jezzie.
- Hi, Kila.
Hey, Hannah,
where's Megan?
She's with Mr. Soneji.
Control, I'm en route
to Soneji's classroom.
I'm sure it's just
a meeting that went long.
Well, it's against procedure.
Mr. Soneji should know better.
His office.
Mr. Soneji,
Secret Service, open up.
Mr. Soneji?
Do you have a key?
Stand back.
Control, shut down, stop all
vehicles. Lock on Soneji and Rose.
So, how many of these boats you have
to make before you become shipshape?
I have never seen a man
work so hard at looking busy.
- Alex, it's been eight months.
- Hmm?
It's time
you forgave yourself.
