Previously on The Grinder.

You're not going to believe this. This punk is suing me for malpractice. Coy

Manler is really prepared.

The statute of limitations is told. What does told mean? It means we're screwed.

Manler is a puppet. Someone's pulling the strings.

Who are you working with?

What are you hiding, Pop?

Maybe I screwed up.

She looks great.

You're home.

Didn't you hear?

The war's over.

Hey, you know what?

I think it's moments like this we need to cherish, Dad.

I just want you to know that I've always looked up to you.

The war made me realize this.

I just want to make you proud, Pop.

Because you've always been my hero.

Pop.

Pop, can you hear me? Yes.

Ink spot.

Sink spot. Sink spot. That's it.

What's it? The spot I saw in the sink.

It wasn't hair dye.

It was blood.

Take care of yourself, son.

The name of the boat was the SS ink spot? I noticed that too. You noticed

what? You think that's a normal thing to name a boat if you're not trying to lead

someone to a blood spot in your sink?

You know, I don't like the tone of this. What are you now, the logic police?

It doesn't matter. I mean, it worked.

Leave it alone.

I have another question.

Yes, officer.

Sorry. I just was wondering...

So he just leaves his son right after he gets home from the war? Oh, yeah, what

war? Nobody cares about the war.

The case got solved. That's what you care about. The whole kid nonsense is

just a side story to help me solve the conflict of the main story. Well, that

seems like a whole other thing. Why doesn't he just solve the main story,

then? Can't you just solve the case by working on that? I'll ask you, Sheriff.

Have you? Have I what? Solved our big case just by working on it. Oh.

That is a very good point.

Thank you, Debbie.

I think it's time we start doing things a little differently around here.

I'm not getting involved in a side story with you, Dean.

I'm not doing it. I'm telling you that right now.

Well?

What do you think? So you want to stop working on the case entirely so that we

can join you on a side story that will enable you to figure out... What now?

The answer to who's behind the whole case.

Come on, Claire. You just laid it out for us. Sorry. I mean. Well, I'm only

going to need one or two of you.

because the main case has to continue. It's a simultaneous approach. Yeah. Are

you guys talking side story? Oh, yeah. How about this? How about you two keep

things flowing here, and Stu and I will chase something down? Oh, I'm not gonna

chase anything down with you, Dean. I told you that. Good, because I'd like to

throw my hat in the side story ring. Yeah, I mean, if it works, you know. But

we don't even know what the side story is yet. Is that maybe because it's

nothing? It's gonna be something.

Oh, Dean, look, Dad screwed up, okay? We don't have a case. We need to settle.

So we're gonna admit defeat?

You okay with that, Dino? What do you think? What's the plan?

Well, Dean wants to get involved in a side story.

Oh, so we can see if it sparks something in the real case? That makes sense to

you? Oh, yes, it does.

Have we found the side thing yet? Still looking for it. I have some ideas that I

think... Todd, what did I tell you? You said, if it works. And do we know if it

works yet?

Claire.

Oh, no, we don't. But keep your heads up, guys, because something tells me

we're gonna find something.

Oh, good.

We just...

Gotta not look in all the right places.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

$30? What do you need $30 for? I can't say, but just trust me that it's

important. Okay, well, until you can say, you're not getting it. What

happened to the hundo I gave you? You gave him $100!

What is going on? Was it, what, a field trip or something? A field trip? Ethan,

you do not have a field trip coming up. Okay.

I'm in pretty deep to Zach Lansman. I lost a few bets that I thought were a

sure thing. What are you betting on?

We just started gambling, Ethan. Is this our side deal? I'm not sure yet.

I'd like to know what's going on down there.

Lizzie, you seem really quiet.

You don't have any reaction to your brother's addiction problem? No, not

really. I kind of got my own stuff going on. What kind of stuff? Guys, that is

not this, okay? One thing at a time, please. But that's the mistake you keep

making. It's never one thing at a time, because the second it is, you're dead.

We're dead? I'm telling you.

There's something going on down there. Well, Joel's in a lot of trouble at

school, and it looks like he might get expelled.

Well, honey, I thought you guys broke up. Yeah, we did, but he's really

vulnerable, and I've just never seen him like that, so... Yeah.

Yeah.

It's real.

It's emotional. It's timely.

It's compelling.

What do you say? You take the boy, I take the girl. Guys? Sounds good.

All right.

Hello?

Hey, are you there yet?

Uh-huh.

Oh, good. Okay, well, I'm about five minutes away, so I'll see you in just a

second. Okay, yes. No, I mean, I'm on my way, too. I'm not there yet. It does not

sound like you're in your car, honey. No, because it's very quiet interior.

You forgot, didn't you? I forgot. I cannot believe that you forgot.

I totally forgot. I'm so sorry. Can you just tell me what we're doing, and I'll

get there in two seconds, I promise you. Ethan's parent-teacher conference,

honey. I reminded you last night.

You did.

Oh, man, that's a big one. I'm so sorry, honey, but I scheduled this settlement

meeting for now. Well, move it, honey, because we have moved this three times

already. You've got to be here.

I will show up. I will be there. Okay. Are you even walking yet, or are you

just sitting behind your desk? You know I don't like to walk and talk. I think

that's rude to the person listening.

It's the point of a mobile phone. All right, then let's just... You know this

is my thing.

I did it.

I trashed the principal's office because I felt like it.

And I'm willing to accept whatever punishment. No, okay? Uncle Dean can

help, right? I mean, you can't just give up. Nothing is ever that simple, Lizzie.

I wish it were.

Kind of is. I mean, it's just gonna be a slap on the wrist. Nothing is ever a

slap on the wrist.

Okay. So wait, why did you pull me out of class?

You know, I used to have a gambling problem myself.

Yeah? The ponies.

Almost lost your dad's college tuition.

What did you do? Did you get help? Nope. I put it all on the line. I borrowed

everything I could from everyone I knew, and I laid it on Miss Makos in the

fifth. And did you win? Not even close.

That was a rough year for all of us. So what if I lose and bring down everyone

with me?

That's a very real possibility.

I think it feels easier just to lie to my parents, make up some reason why I

need to switch schools, and never think that things will happen.

You want to run?

Yeah.

Maybe I do.

Joel, there's something that you're not telling us. What is it? I told you

everything, bro.

That's it.

I'm out of here.

Uncle Dean, he's not... Get your head out of the clouds, Lizzie.

He's lying to us.

What? Wait.

Okay, it wasn't me.

You're protecting someone.

Protect... security, insecurity.

Thought I had something.

Thought you had what?

Nothing.

I know, honey. I'm just saying.

We had it scheduled for a month and I...

I just think it's weird. I know, it's weird. I usually write it down, and I

don't know what happened. So you're talking what? You're talking how you

rescheduled the settlement? Uh, yeah, we just had this other thing at Ethan's

school, so... Interesting.

Why is that interesting?

You tell me. I don't know.

That's why I asked you. You are familiar with my position on settling, right? Oh,

I am.

You don't like to do it. That's an understatement.

Have you ever considered that maybe, deep down inside, this is Doobie.

Doesn't want to settle either.

Oh, my gosh. You think that I purposely scheduled this other thing to get in the

way of the settlement? Most likely, yes, on a subconscious level.

And then maybe your big brother rubbed off on you. Oh, got a little grinder in

you, hon.

I think we all have a little grinder in us.

It's just a question of what are you going to do with it? Probably just have

it reschedule the settlement meeting. Well, that'll work for a little bit, but

then something else will keep you from doing that.

Just a little bit longer.

And stop.

Okay, good. Oh, my God. I need a glass of wine. Right? He's really committed to

that thing.

Todd,

are you okay? No, I wanted to get into something with Dean.

I was up all night. I just can't figure out how to hook him. Don't say.

Help me, Claire. What do I do?

Just maybe back up? Yeah, on it. Maybe a little further? Further?

Always. Um, I don't know.

Maybe stop thinking about it? Think about something else for a while? Like

what? Um, maybe you could finish all of this? And, you know,

while you're making the copies, you'll figure something else out? So this could

be my side thing to figure out that side thing?

But is this enough? It'll only take me a couple hours. Oh, I have a bunch more in

my office.

Okay. Thank you. No problem.

Lifesaver.

I told you, I'm not protecting anyone.

So it's not that.

But what else is it? Say some other things. Well, he doesn't think they're

going to believe him over Chad Osseroff because Osseroff's dad is tight with...

Osseroff.

Osseroff. The beaten path now.

What?

Crosseroff? Crosser... Cross-who-off.

Of what? Dude, are you thinking about something else?

What?

Oh, I'm thinking about this.

And?

That.

Whatever. It doesn't matter. They already think I did it. What's the

point? The point is that you have to keep this going. We have to keep this

going. Keep it going? Why? For what?

For you, pal.

And your school record or whatever.

He wants to help, Joel. I mean, just let him help.

Don't you have more important things to do?

I have this.

And only this.

Okay.

Now take me to chat, Oseroff.

Hey, honey. How was the settlement? Oh, what happened to you?

I got a flat tire.

And I spent 45 minutes on the phone with roadside assist only to find out that

our membership expired. Fortunately, my cell phone completely died after that,

so I had to change a tire all by myself.

How fun for you. And then I missed the settlement. Again?

Yes.

And Dean thinks I did it on purpose. You know, like I'm intentionally blowing off

the settlements.

Are you?

No.

You think I'm doing that, too? Maybe subconsciously? Oh, my gosh, you're

worse than him.

Okay. What, you think I'm trying to avoid settling because deep down inside

I don't want to settle? And don't, don't say okay with your voice real high and

your eyebrows up. Okay.

Okay. That's a better one. Thank you. Okay.

Grandpa?

Shh. Go back to sleep. I'm just leaving these for you.

What are they?

They're nothing. They're just...

Envelopes for you to open on the most important days of your life.

Your high school graduation.

Congrats on the birth of your first child. Grandpa, what is all this?

Take care, Ethan.

You're a good kid.

I'm sorry, Bones. I really am.

If I wasn't there, the prosecution... Okay, did all these.

And? Didn't spark anything.

Oh, damn.

Hmm.

Do you want to maybe try those?

Yeah.

You got it?

Yes. Okay.

Thanks, Claire.

Chad Oseroff. We finally put a face to the name.

What's this about, Zadok? You trashed Principal Davis' office and you know it.

Okay. Dean's defending me.

He arranged a disciplinary hearing. Oh, okay.

He's not going to be able to prove anything.

Excuse me. What are you going to do? Grind it out of me? Yeah, if I want to.

But you don't, do you?

Because that's not why you're really here.

Wait, what's he talking about?

Nothing.

He's grasping at straw.

Think about it, Joel.

He doesn't really care about this. Yeah, of course he does. Right, Uncle Dean?

It's... Not as simple as that. What does that mean? It means he's using you. That

is not true. I knew it.

Look, I can explain this. Don't bother.

Uncle Dean, do something.

Joel, wait.

Yes, maybe at first I got involved for the wrong reasons.

I needed to focus on a side story to help me solve my father's case.

Yeah, well, this little side story...

is my main story.

It's called my life.

Stuart should be here any minute, Mr. Manler. That's cool.

It's not like I have anything better to do.

That sounded sarcastic. I really have nothing better.

Manler.

Luring a man.

Luring men.

Luring men somewhere?

Where?

That's not it. Todd, it's okay. We'll find it. Find what?

Mr. Bandler, sorry I'm late. I was looking for my keys for 20 minutes.

Ready to wrap this thing up?

Yeah, I guess.

Okay.

Hold on.

I don't seem to have the agreement.

Oh, it was just here.

It's okay, Todd. Do you want to type up a new one? Yes.

Sorry about that.

Shouldn't be very long.

All right, Joel, you won this hearing about what again? He thinks I trashed

your officer, which obviously I didn't.

What? You think Asarov did it?

Okay, you know, I don't believe that. What is your defense?

I thought I had one, but I guess I'm alone in this.

You're not alone. I'm right here. And so am I.

Principal Davis, let's get this thing started.

Well, we've already started, so... All right, so let's continue this thing? Is

that what you're looking for?

Uh, yeah. Well, then, let's just go with that.

What's with the cooler?

Nothing. I'm going fishing.

You're not going fishing, are you?

You're running because of the case.

Yeah? Okay, so what if I am? You gonna try and stop me?

Take me with you.

Absolutely not.

You got your school. You got soccer.

You have a life here. Yeah, well, not if Zach Lansman has anything to say about

it.

Grab the other randoms.

So settling, it's just, it's where we're at.

It's just, it's what we have to do at this point. Yeah, sometimes you gotta

know when to give up. Well, I wouldn't call it giving up, Mr. Mandler. I

wouldn't. Okay, new document.

Ready to sign.

Let's, uh, put this baby to bed, huh?

Get this show on the road.

And sign.

What is that?

I think it's the fire alarm.

He's right!

Fire! Get out of the way!

Everybody burn down!

The latch is broken. I can't... Yeah, I think we need to open the whole door,

don't you think? Come on.

I'm trying to do.

Why is this on me? It's a latch. I can't get out. What are you guys doing?

Oh, we're going fishing. Right now? Mom, stay out of this. Excuse me? All right,

she got us. We're not going fishing.

That was easy. All right, what are you guys actually doing?

We're heading out of town for a bit. Let things cool off around here. Uh, no. No,

you're not doing that. Mom, we've been all around this. We don't have time to

catch you up. You're not running, either of you. Put it down right now. Come on.

Put it down.

Okay, you are going to stay here, you're going to pay Zach Landsman back, and you

are never going to gamble again.

What? That was not an unreasonable thing to say. And you, sir, are going to stay

here, and you're going to fight this thing.

I buy that.

All right.

We'll stay.

Great.

This time.

Excuse me?

What are you doing here, Dean?

Yeah, what are you doing here?

It's over.

Sadak. What?

I screwed up.

I used you.

And you didn't deserve that.

What? I thought this was all so unimportant that I could just phone it

in, do the bare minimum while I figured out my main story. But I didn't count on

becoming invested.

Now I know that this is my main story.

It is?

What's happening? Okay, really, dude? You're going to make everyone sit

through this?

Just admit it, bro.

You're going to let this guy off the hook? He's been after me since day one.

Get over it. It's not what happened. Dude, every time something comes up, you

provide... Oster off the hook day one.

Off the hook after me from day one.

What's that?

I'm sorry.

Are you talking to yourself there? I got it. I told you to figure it out. He

always does.

I gotta go. Wait, what?

Zadok, I believe in you.

You got this. I don't at all. Wait, so what? This wasn't your main story?

I was hoping it was. We all were.

Maybe the takeaway from today is that sometimes the side story is as important

as the main story.

Then why are you leaving? All right.

It's not as important as the main story.

But it's close.

God!

I'm sorry about that, Mr. Mandler. I'm not sure what happened. I think I might

have an idea. It was the toaster. Someone left an onion bagel in there for

way too long. It wasn't me. Mr.

Mandler. I didn't even know you had bagels.

It was me.

That was my onion bagel. Okay, it's not that big of a deal. I never leave things

in toasters for too long. Stuart!

I usually sync my watch with a timer so that when I'm in the office... You do?

Nothing burns.

Maybe Dean was right.

Maybe he did rub off on me. That's it. That's my side thing with Dean. I got

it. You got it from rubbed off on me? What? Mr. Mandler?

We'll see you in court.

Everyone, stop.

Put those pens down.

No one's holding a pen. Good.

Because it's going to make this easier. Because we are not settling today. I

know that. I just said that. Just now. Yeah, like literally right before you

walked in.

Really? You were right.

So you do have a little grinder in you. I think we gotta find a better way to

say that.

But, yeah?

Nadine, get ready to get even more excited.

Because I figured out our side thing, and you're gonna love it. Todd, you are

so far behind on this. I figured out my side thing days ago. But I... And?

It worked.

Worked how?

Mr. Mandler, could you give us the room?

Oh.

Now. Okay. Yeah.

Did you crack it? Do you know who's behind this?

Brother, it all comes full circle.

Okay, so do you know?

Hmm.

You just watched The Grinder.

Now, here are a few more shows to check out from Box.

I'm waiting for that, soulmate.

From Mark Burnett. Like, I don't want to just settle for anyone.

Executive producer of The Voice, Survivor, and The Apprentice. I want to

find love.

Comes a bold new take on dating. So you guys ready to meet him?

Yes! It's all about coupling up. Whose man is on that helicopter?

And with this many eligible men, it's ladies' choice.

It's really going to be up to the girls to see if they want to take it further

with you.

Coupled, May 17th. It's literally raining men here. On Fox.

Thank you so much for coming. Now is the time for us to come together and make

Wayward Pines safe again.

What's happening here?

We can't discuss the past.

I wanna just get home.

You are home.
