All language subtitles for Veronica.Mars.s04e08

Previously on
Veronica Mars...

- Veronica...
- Stop, stop.

We're not getting married.

How's Logan takin'
the rejected marriage proposal?

I left the number
for my therapist.

Maybe you should
give her a call.

You're home.

You still have that ring?

I understand
you're interested in finding

the scumbag responsible
for bombing the Sea Sprite.

The bomb was just supposed
to be a warning to Sul Ross,

but, well, shit happens.

I don't care what you say,
it's Big Dick.

He bought me a car.

I'm gonna prove he did it.

Asshole!

But Penn wasn't the only one
who knew about the nails.

The Murderheads knew,
the police know.

Jesus! What the hell?

There's an APB out for you.

Haven't you heard?
You're the bomber

everyone's looking for.

- What do you want?
- Isn't it obvious?

I want to hire you two
to prove my innocence.

There's still a bomb out there,
set to go off in 24 hours.

When it does...

you're gonna wish
you had listened to me.

What do you want, money?

- I'll pay double your rate.
- I'll triple it.

Yeah, it's less
of a money thing

and more of
a "we think you're

the Neptune Bomber"
thing.

OK, the irony isn't
lost on me

that you two are
the reason I'm here.

But you're also the two
most qualified people

to prove my innocence.

Vanity Fair called you
"whip smart."

"The preternaturally gifted
Veronica Mars," they said.

Want to get this one right too,
don't you?

I was thinking
we already had.

If I'm tellin' the truth,

you get to save lives.

And if I'm guilty,
which I'm obviously not,

you get a little bit
of extra money

and then you sleep
with a clear conscience.

Fine. Cliff can wire our
retainer, he knows our rates.

We'll poke around.

Now, who else knows about
the nail in Penn's back

from the Sea Sprite explosion?

Murderheads, police,

doctors, us...

So, all of Neptune. Cool.

Cool.

I'm just saying,

two minutes ago
it had to be me,

and now it's literally anybody.

Well, if we're
entertaining anyone,

there's the squirrely
frat boys.

The one who tried to kill
himself...

The fr-The frat boys,
are you kidding?

No! The nail!

Follow the nail!

Murderheads, hospital, police...
that's your arena!

- Goddammit.
- Time's up.

Great. Please solve this.

Pushed back pretty hard
on the frat boy thing.

Oh, you noticed that too, huh?

Shall we pay
the Pi Sigs a visit?

You should, Veronica.
I'm not.

Dammit, Dad...

Sorry, you picked
the wrong day to retire.

Gut it up.

Unless Marcia finds
something else,

she's gonna have to let pizza
guy go in 16 hours.

Couple hours before the bomb
is supposed to go off.

If we're reading
the limerick correctly.

"Three laps 'round the sun,
midday..."

I'm no detective,
but that seems pretty clear.

Tomorrow. Noon. Then...

...boom.

♪ Hey ♪

Man child.

Hello?

B.D., what can I do for you?

There's an intruder
in my house.

Probably just those skaters

sneaking' in to use your pool
again.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Get your ass over here
right now!

Call me back if that's
not the problem.

Bye, Dick.

What the hell's
going' on here?

Gran polla!
How's it going, my man?

Nice piece there.

Hey, I don't know you.

Of course you do. I'm Edwin.

I maintain your azaleas
and I clean up the hedges.

I'm here twice a week.

You wanna
tell me why you're

copying my hard drive?

Hard drive?

Hey, don't play dumb
with me, esé.

You tell me who
the hell you are

and what you want,

and maybe I won't shoot you
in self-defense.

You're right.
I'm not your gardener.

- You got me.
- Right.

I'm here because
you killed my boss's nephew.

What?

The bomb was supposed to go off

in the middle of the night.

It was just supposed to be
a warning to Sul Ross,

but, well, shit happens.

The Internet went down
and messed up the timer.

Don't judge...

Shit happens, my friend.

Huh.

Let's go home.

Ya think?

We have a choice?

I guess not.

You mind finding me
a trash can liner?

I don't want to get any blood
in the Yukon.

Of course I'm taking
your name after we get married!

I'm nothing if not
old-fashioned.

Veronica Echolls?
I'm not seeing it.

I think the Echolls
is radioactive.

I was gonna take
your first name.

- Veronica Logan?
- Mm-hmm.

Or you know what we could do?

I could change my last name
to Mars!

Is it unconventional? Yes.

Is it crazy? Who's to say?

"Logan Mars."

That sounds like a guy
who plays by his own rules.

Mm-hmm. OK.

So who have you told so far
about our pending nuptials?

Uh, you. Why?
Who have you told?

Dick, my Aunt Naomi...

um, my captain,

couple guys at the gym,

the guy at the juice place
who asked why I was smiling...

Who knew Logan Mars
was such a chick?

I'd say I was expressing
the enthusiasm

that the milestone demands.

I'm enthusiastic.

I just need to keep
my dad focused

until we find this bomb.

Otherwise he's gonna
want to talk

wedding dresses
and guest list.

Don't you roll
your eyes at me!

I will marry your ass
right now.

PostMate that shit.
I'll put my bra back on!

I'm a hundred percent serious!

You're off the hook for
tonight.

I don't wanna be
off the hook.

I'm tired of being
a dusty old spinster.

Let's do it tomorrow.

Are you serious?

County Clerk's office.
At four.

I mean,
if it hasn't been blown up.

I could make that work.

So, we're doing this?

It's basically already done.

Honeymoon?

Why not?

Where?

I have to check my Groupons.

O... K.

I don't understand.

Two brand-new DHR2019s.

I thought I left 'em
in my desk drawer.

Hopefully, once we put the
fear of God into this Pi Sig,

he'll open up and we won't have
to worry about a leave-behind.

You didn't move 'em, did you?

Well, no,
but who the hell knows?

I don't remember pouring this,
but apparently I did.

Or I did.

Oh, yeah. Did I thank you?

Hmm, only with your eyes.

Keith Mars.

Oh. Hey, I didn't
hear you come in.

Oh. Sorry.

You didn't happen to see

two DHR2019
listening devices, did you?

Yeah, I... I put them in here.

You did?

They've been opened.

Uh, yeah. Sorry, that was me.

I... just wanted to see
how they worked.

That was the Chief of Police
on the phone.

Big Dick Casablancas
was killed last night.

The maid found what was
left of him this morning.

What was left of him?

He'd been beheaded.

Oh, my God.

Are you OK?

Yeah. Yeah, that's just...

it's crazy.

Matty...

I need to know
that you're OK.

I'm... I'm golden.

Nothin' to see here.
Scout's honor.

We should go, Veronica.

Uh, mind if I hang out here
for a bit?

Just charge my phone
and whatnot?

Make yourself at home.

Oh, she will.

You ready for this?

'Course I'm ready.

Well, we're gonna have
to lean on him. Hard.

But he wants to crack,
I can tell.

Yeah?

It's not gonna be pretty.

Veronica, I'm fine.

I don't get what this
has to do with the bombings.

Stop blubbering
and tell us what happened.

I told you! Nothing!

Look, kid,
people might die today.

And if they do, I'm gonna go
take pictures of their bodies,

ripped apart by shrapnel,
guts spilling out,

I'm gonna bring 'em back here
and rub your nose in 'em,

reminding you you could
have saved 'em, but you didn't.

Because you couldn't
get your shit together

and you couldn't
tell us the truth.

Veronica!

They're gonna kill me.

Who's gonna kill you?

Campbell and Darren.

Your pledge brothers?

Yeah, I think
they killed Patrick.

What? Why?

To shut him up, so he
wouldn't... tell.

Tell what, Blake?

About the pizza guy.

It was the end
of Pledge Week.

We just got the shit
hazed out of us.

And we're partying
on the beach,

just drunk off our asses.

Somebody orders pizza,

and the delivery guy shows up
with the wrong order.

We're pissed about our order,
and the delivery guy smarts off.

So...

we chased him into the surf...

and dunked him.

Over and over.

And he kept saying
that he couldn't swim,

and then he disappeared
under a wave

and didn't come back up.

And Patrick and I
wanted to call the police,

but Campbell and Darren said

no frickin' way
were we gonna tell anyone.

And Patrick kept saying
that he couldn't keep a secret.

We decided to wait until
morning,

wait until we sobered up,
and then figure out what to do.

But...

I woke up in the middle
of the night...

and Patrick's tent
is on fire...

and I can hear him screaming.

You're sure
the delivery guy drowned?

No. Sometimes I think
I dreamed the pizza guy.

What did he look like?
The pizza delivery guy.

I remember Campbell
kept calling him Frodo,

because he
looked like a hobbit.

Is this him?

I can't be sure.
I was so wasted,

and I've spent three years
trying to forget.

Good man.

April 12th, 2015... OK, uh...

Yes. Penn was
working that night.

Would you be able to tell us
where he delivered pizzas?

You're computerized, right?

When I called the other day,
you knew my name,

you knew my
regular order...

We computerized
a couple years ago.

Before then it was
just paper tickets.

Can we take a look
at those?

There's a buttload.

Still...

It'd be somewhere in here.

Ugh.
Any sorting strategy?

None that I know of.

From 2004.

Mind if we have an employee
come by to go through them?

We're under the wire here.

Why not?

Hey. That was quick.

What's the good news?

Well...

we figured out why you
didn't want us

to go back and talk
to the frat boys.

Yeah, 'cause it's
a waste of time.

I'll refresh
your memory.

Three years ago,
you deliver a pizza

to a fraternity
beach party.

But you screw up the order.

The dissatisfied customers
throw you into the ocean.

They're animals,

like all the spring breakers
you deliver to.

You survive, barely.
You want revenge.

I... I literally have no idea
what you're talking about.

You swing back by after your
shift and set a tent on fire,

killing one of the Pi Sigs
who tormented you.

Th... OK, this is insane.
You know that, right?

One of the surviving
frat boys

already described you.

"Looks like a hobbit.
Kind of a dipshit."

Hey, that rhymes.
You love that crap.

So now you're just
flat-out insulting me.

What have you got?

I got lucky.

I found the ticket
you were looking for

in the fourth box
I searched.

It's April 12th, 2015,

11:32 p.m., 46 Ocean Boulevard.

The driver's name is listed
top right. What's it say?

Uh, "Don."

You're sure?

Yeah.

Thanks, Matty. Bye.

She found the ticket.

Penn didn't deliver that pizza.

Well, well, well.

I don't suppose
some driver named Don

mysteriously disappeared
three years ago?

- Don?
- Don?

We know a Don?

Yeah, I worked with him
at Cho's back then.

He's a Murderhead.
He would know about the nail.

He's hobbit-shaped,
and quite a dipshit.

Oh, one problem, though.

He lives in Washington, D.C.
He's a political consultant.

Do you know that for sure?

Well, thanks for checking.

You're sure there's
no record after that?

No, sorry.
I checked 'em all.

All right. Thanks so much.
Bye.

Don failed out of Hearst his
junior year. Never graduated.

Delusions of grandeur,
obsessed with serial killers,

need to come out on top.

All of our theories
hold up with this guy.

Well, there's only one
Don McNotten

in all of
Southern California,

and there's his
driver's license.

And he lives 30 minutes away
in San Diego.

I think it's time
we call Marcia.

Because I'm at the County
Clerk's office right now

looking at the title deeds.

My name isn't just
on the Lansing Street building.

You put it on
the Sarasota Ave...

Because it's fraud, Marc!

I have to go.

Because I have to go.

Everything OK, Parker?

Other than having
an ex-boyfriend

overhear a conversation
with my ex-husband?

Well,
for what it's worth,

you were owning
that conversation.

It's worth something.

Hello, Logan.

It's so good
to see you.

And you look great.

Even better.

You know, if you would have
seen me three years ago,

you would have seen me
blissfully happy.

Smug, really,
about my... perfect life

and doting husband.

But you missed that part.

So here's me now.

But how are you?

I'm doing good, yeah.

What brings you to
the County Clerk's office?

Cruising chicks?

I'm picking up
a marriage license.

Oh, Jesus! Congratulations!

I'm sorry, please ignore my
horror story.

I'm sure you picked a good one.
Who's the lucky girl?

Well, you remember Veronica.

Does anyone forget Veronica?

Wow. You guys took your time.

Yeah, we sure did.

Yeah.
Well, I gotta run.

but please tell Veronica
I say hello.

- Yeah, will do.
- OK.

Oh, and, um...

enjoy the honeymoon phase.

It's the best part.

Wait, Parker!

Good morning.

I am Marcia Langdon,

chief of police
here in Neptune.

Approximately 22 minutes ago,

the San Diego Police Department

raided Don McNotten's
apartment,

and they found bomb-making
materials

that match those
used by the bomber

that has been
terrorizing Neptune.

Dandy Don
is in trouble.

Is the suspect in custody?

He seems to have
recently fled,

- Uh-oh.
- but we've issued an APB

and urge anyone
with information

about his whereabouts

to call our tip line.

Chief, have they
found the bomb yet?

We have officers
and bomb-sniffing dogs

combing the area
around Fiji's Sandwich Shop.

You know who might have a sense
where Don wandered off to?

Do we have to?

Ohh, fine.

No hits on his credit card?

Not yet.

We got in touch
with McNotten's sister.

She hasn't
heard from him.

Thanks. Let me know when
Penn Epner is being released.

I want to talk to him first.

He got out
20 minutes ago.

Keith and Veronica Mars
picked him up.

Goddamn Chief Langdon.
They trashed the place.

Don's not picking up.
I don't think he's going to.

Penn, think.
Anywhere Don might have gone?

People, places he mentioned?

The Senate cloak room?
I don't know.

For the last three years
he's been

pretending to be in D.C.

Any places around here?

Uh, power plant?

I think someone
would notice him.

No, the abandoned power plant
south of the city.

Back in the day,

that's where
the Cho's delivery guys

would go to smoka da ganja.

We should check it out.

Oh, yeah, my camera.

Something related
to the case?

No.

Wallace is at
the Kane High dedication.

Oh. You hear that, pal?

They named
a school after you.

No. This Kane.

You was robbed.

I suppose if
there's going to be

a separate high school
for jag-offs,

it's appropriate it has
Jake Kane's name on it.

'Kay. Let's go
solve the case!

What you got there, Penn?

My detective bag.

Camera, binoculars,
power bars. Pee funnel.

Oh! Dad would have
let you use his pee funnel.

- Wouldn't you, Dad?
- We should go.

Nope.

Did you need to be driven
closer, sir?

I can't do
all those steps.

I'll man the fort
here at headquarters.

You sure?

Maybe they have a chair lift
and you can just...

No?

OK.

Wasn't like it is today...
dispensary on every corner.

It was a nightmare
finding good weed.

But, as luck would have it,
Don's grandpa had glaucoma.

Hi, Matty. It's...

Eat me!

Matty, it's Keith.

Sorry, Mr. Mars,
I'm super late

for this thing at Kane High,

and the other drivers
don't seem to care.

Let me in! How hard is that?

So what's up?

I kept going through
those pizza tickets.

The one we pulled...
Don McNotten's delivery...

it was number 6-0-1-5-4.

Every other ticket
from that night

was in the
eight thousands.

- Seemed weird.
- That is weird.

Gets weirder.

There's one missing carbon
from the eight thousands,

and the one before it
was an order at 11:29.

The one after it
went out at 11:47.

Somebody tore out
the original carbon.

It had to be
Penn. Right?

Thanks, Matty. Gotta go. Bye.

Ahh.
No sign of Don.

Can...

Something smells like shit.
Can we get out of here?

Oh, God.

Veronica!

Veronica!

"My house now
surrounded by po-po

"Seemed to mean that
this bomber must go-go

"So pardon my messes,
this bomber confesses

There's yet one more bomb
set to blow, yo."

Suicide limerick.
It's gotta be a first.

- Drop the gun! Now!
- What? I'm just...

Dad?

Matty called.

We found Don. He's dead.

He wrote a suicide
note-slash-confession.

And before you ask,
yes, it's a limerick.

The receipt that showed Don
made the delivery that night

wasn't sequential.

It came from
a different ticket book.

Like the ticket was
put there later.

After I mentioned the frat boys
at Murderheads, you planted it.

You're the pizza guy
they thought they killed.

Can you... Can you two
hear yourselves?

This is madness!

We've got 22 minutes.
No more bullshit!

Where's the goddamn bomb?!

"There once was
a killer named Penn,

Who met with a very bad end..."

You wanna help me finish that?

What rhymes with "lethal
injection"?

Bomb-sniffing dogs

and most of
the police force

are 20 minutes away
over by your place

trying to find a bomb
around Fiji's Sandwich Shop.

And Marcia?

She's on her way here.

How many minutes
till the bomb goes off?

- Fourteen.
- OK.

Guys, on any given
night at Cho's,

we had multiple
ticket books running.

The fact that they're
out of sequence

is not that strange.

We'll call Matty.

See if she finds
other orders from

- the same ticket book as Don's.
- Sure.

She's at the Kane High
dedication thing.

Oh, God.

What?

The bomb threat.

"I'll be gloating.
Bodies exploding.

The heroes upon
whom we're doting."

It's the ceremony
honoring Jake Kane.

What about
the Fiji business?

I don't know,
maybe it was put there

to get us looking
in the wrong direction?

All right, we're ten minutes
from the school.

Thirteen minutes
till the bomb goes off.

Guys,
listen to yourselves.

Whatever credibility
you had is...

Call Wallace.

As many of you know,

I had planned on
retiring this year after

15 years as principal
at Neptune High.

But when
Superintendent Dillawitz

showed me the blueprints
for Kane High

and asked me
to take over here,

I said,
"You know what? I'm in!"

What Neptune is today

can be attributed
to a man who

revolutionized
the high-tech industry...

your school's namesake,
Jake Kane!

Thank you so much.

Uh, thank you, everyone,
for coming out today.

Ah, and thanks particularly

to the, uh,
Student Council advisor,

to the band director,

to the National
Honor Society sponsor,

and to all the coaches

who made attendance
mandatory today.

And for those dedicated
students

who came out today entirely
of their own volition

to see a 60-year-old man
wax nostalgic...

Get a life, nerds.

Seriously.

No, seriously.

Is this a part
of the program?

Veronica?

Wait, wait, wait.

All right.

- OK, you just-No, no.
- I need that microphone.

You wait right there. You...

Everyone needs to
leave the area!

Help! I'm a hostage!

Help! They're insane!

Someone help me!

Move, you dumb...

Help!

I said move! There's a bomb!

Orderly fashion, people.
Stay calm! Stay calm!

Veronica, what do you
think you're doing?

A bomb is about to go off

in 90 seconds
somewhere around here.

You can either argue with me

or you can help get
kids out of here!

You. Get out
and defuse the bomb.

We're not moving
from this spot.

You are insane!

Fine! We'll wait.
We can all die together.

Veronica, you need to leave
the bomb radius too.

We don't need both of us
babysitting this guy.

- Nice try...
- Goddammit, Veronica,

I've got this!

It doesn't make any sense
for both of us to stay here.

Just, if you love me, you go.

How about I leave
and the two of you stay?

- Dad...
- I've got this, honey.

I've got this.

Got your affairs
in order, Penn?

Look, maybe somebody else
did plant the bomb around here

and all you're doing is
killing us both.

I'm really gonna have some egg
on my face then, huh?

You know what, uh,

chronic traumatic
encephalopathy is?

Th-The football thing?

Your brain gives out on ya.

Pretty sure I've got it.

So, uh, ya know,
bowing out this way

doesn't seem like
the worst way to go.

How much time?

Thirty seconds,
if we're right.

But ya know,
we've been wrong before.

How you gonna enjoy
all your press coverage

if you're not around
to soak it up, Penn?

OK, I know
where the bomb is!

Get me outta here!
Get me out!

Oh, yes. Yes!

Come on, come on, come on.

Inside that thing!

Get in there,
disarm it!

Twenty, nineteen,
eighteen...

- ...seventeen...
- Stop.

- Jesus, come on!
- Hurry up.

- It's not coming, it's not coming!
- Any time now.

It's not coming!

The yellow one!

Veronica!

Veronica,
how does it feel to be a hero?

My dad's the hero.
Go talk to him.

Those were real people
you killed.

It wasn't a game.

Those weren't
people, Mars.

Those were spring breakers.
Locusts.

Barbarians at the gate.

Hey, ya know what?
I bet I get married in prison.

Some lonely hottie's
gonna start sending me letters.

There'll be a whole
"Free Penn Epner" movement.

T-shirts, merchandise,
GoFundMe page.

Face it, Mars.
I'm always a few steps ahead.

My contingencies
have contingencies.

I'm gonna have
the time of my life.

You've made me famous.

Piece of advice.

If you don't agree
to play yourself

in the inevitable documentary,

they're just gonna hire
some shit actress

to play you
in the reenactments, so...

might wanna
talk to some agents.

I'll give you some names.

You're gross.

I'll tell you what, hero.

If you're still around,
come visit me in prison.

We'll reassess.

I mean...
after we process all of this.

You threw me in
the briar patch, Mars!

That's guy's a dick.

That routing number again...

9-8-9-8-3-2-5-1.

I appreciate it, Mr. Linden.

Terribly sorry for your loss.

All right, then.
Good-bye.

Bravo, Keith.

I mean, how does this feel?
Savior of Neptune.

Saver of lives. Is that your
"get the key to the city" suit?

I just found out Veronica's
getting married. I'm on my way.

Well, mazel tov.

What are you doin' here,
Clyde?

I'm... feting my new friend.

We've been down this road
already.

What's... What's crawled up
your ass?

Oh, I suppose you're
sensing some

umbrage at nearly
losing my daughter

while pursuing
our serial bomber.

So I take it I'm drinkin'
alone.

Look, Keith...

whatever part Big Dick
may or may not have played

in the Sea Sprite bombing,

I swear to you,
I had nothin' to do with it.

That was between him
and Perry Walsh.

Yeah, he asked me
to keep an eye on you

after you started pokin' around
in our business interests,

see what you knew.

But... come on, I mean,

you were workin' me as much as
I was workin' you, am I right?

I just figured
a couple of old pros

havin' a good time
on Big Dick's dime

was what the guy deserved.

But you did help him
drive down

the real estate market
on the boardwalk

with your Chino pals.

When I got out of prison,

I was a dead-broke,
60-year-old ex-con

with no skills outside of
robbin' banks.

What am I supposed to do,
apply at Cinnabon?

Look, Keith...

I like you.

And it's not easy
for guys our age,

in our line of work,

to find people
they really enjoy.

So I'd like to just
put this in the past.

Start over. Can we do that?

I don't think so, Clyde.

Test results got delivered
to Big Dick's,

your billing address.

I hope it's good news, Keith.

I'll see you around.

Parker's husband, he takes up
with a blackjack dealer.

She said it was like wakin' up
with a stranger.

What I'm interested in is

you following
this ex-girlfriend

out to the parking lot.

I mean, you're there
to get a marriage license,

but you leave the building

to hear the sad story
of an ex-girlfriend.

Why do you think you did that?

I guess I just want to...

go into this with
my eyes wide open.

You've been
talking about wanting to

marry Veronica
for a long time.

Well...

here you are.

Here I am.

The dog that caught the car.

Yeah.

Are you sure
it's what you want?

There she is.

Ah. You look beautiful, honey.

Wow.

- You went full Windsor.
- Hmm.

- It's fancy.
- Hmm. Where's Logan?

Uh, he's been running
errands all day.

He does not know the details
of our brush with death,

and my vote is to keep him in
the dark.

Hmm. It's like you're
married already.

You seem awfully jovial.

Did you tip a couple back
before you came here?

No. I was just sitting there,

and it dawned on me how little

this wedding is
gonna set me back.

How much was that license,
uh... uh, twenty bucks?

Sixty.

Ooh! That's a little
rich for my blood.

Oh! Oh, there was
one other thing.

A hush fell over the crowd.

I got my medical report back
from Big Dick's

fancy Beverly Hills doctors,

and it turns out
my brain is fine.

It was, uh,
an improper combination

of my many
and sundry medications

that were causing
my brain slips.

Doc said we adjust that
and I get a hip replacement,

I'm back to bein'
Neptune's go-to crimebuster

and most eligible bachelor.

Mm. Mmm.

Yeah.

I don't think Headless Dick
is gonna spring

for that hip
replacement.

No, but our reward money

was transferred into
our account this afternoon.

Don't look now,
but we may both be havin'

the greatest days
of our lives.

Is that what this foreign
sensation is?

So pleasurable!
I could get used to this.

Ahh, sorry I'm late.

Shae's in court
and the babysitter was late.

Man! Using "the babysitter
was late" excuse when required

seems like the best reason
to have kids.

Don't have children, Veronica.

Where's the groom?

He's Mr. Punctuality.

Yeah,
where is that guy?

Veronica?

What? What's it say?

"Sorry."

Aw, honey.

That's it. "Sorry."

Where does he get off?

I mean, really,
where does he get off?

Echolls-Mars wedding?

I'm afraid there's been
a change.

It...

Hold on, I'm comin'!

Let's do this thing!

What?

We thought
you weren't coming.

I'm four minutes late
and I pre-apologized.

With a text saying "Sorry"?

I'll give you
a couple minutes.

No, stay right there.

I texted, "Sorry, I'm running
a few minutes late."

Well, this is what I got.

I can see how that
could be confusing.

I dictated the text.
I blame Siri.

But I'm here now.
There's no place I'd rather be.

Excellent.

Follow me.

Maybe later you can tell me
why Principal Clemmons

was on the radio
describing you as a hero.

I didn't get to hear
the whole thing.

Oh, yeah. Maybe.

♪ Withered and blown... ♪

Do you, Logan, take Veronica
as your lawfully wedded wife?

I do.

And do you,
Veronica,

take Logan to be
your lawfully wedded husband?

Yeah, why not?

By the power vested in me
by the State of California,

I pronounce you
husband and wife.

Is this where we kiss?

I'm a civil servant.
It's your call.

Let's go for it.

I'm nothin' if not
traditional.

OK, let's get a room.

It was weird. He was gloating,

acting like going to prison
was all part of his plan,

like he had won.

He kept talking about
the eventual

true crime documentary

and saying
if I'm "still around"

I should stop by prison
so he could gloat.

"Sedona's main attraction

is its array of red
sandstone formations."

Second thing we'll do
once we get there.

It's a seven-hour drive.

Leave here by six,
get there by two a.m.?

That's eight hours,
Einstein.

Plus one, 'cause they're
on Mountain Time. So there.

Oh, shit. You're right.

I think I'm gonna
shower first.

Yeah, I'm movin' the car.

What?

Movin' the car!

Logan?

Wait a minute. Arizona doesn't
do daylight savings time.

Logan!

Hey! They don't do daylight
savings time in Arizona!

So I'm claiming half-credit.
Even though...

Yeah?

What's the
time difference in Fiji?

Penn's limerick.
"Midday 'round Fiji"?

Yeah, hold that thought.
I'm movin' it!

"Heroes upon

I'll tell ya what, hero.

Logan!

Pull out your pony kegs

It's that time of year again!

Spring break!

This one goes out
to my hard partiers.

Don't do anything
"Wild Man on the Mic"

Mike Wilde wouldn't d...

On my way to see you,

a DJ came on the radio
and was like,

"Time to party, Neptune,
it's spring break."

And I was looking out
the window, thinking,

"Who are you fooling?
Spring break is dead."

Gone are the throngs
of college students

stumbling from the beaches
to the dive bars.

Gone are the dive bars
themselves.

The boardwalk drinking holes
and nightclubs

fell like dominoes.

There's an art gallery where

Chattanooga Charlie's
used to be.

How, High Are You
is a goddamn day spa.

And who says
crime doesn't pay?

Clyde Pickett is rolling in it.

He sells classic cars

out of the Comrade
Quacks location

to men who want to be reminded
of the days way back when...

before they became assholes.

Each car a Rosebud.

Sorry. Where was I?

Oh, yeah. Hu's Reduced.

It closed a couple months ago.

The upscale market
taking over the location

promises wine tastings
and light jazz

in an al fresco setting.

Which is nice,

if you're not
one of the customers

who relied on
Triple Coupon Tuesdays

to put food on the table.

By next year,

there won't be
a property on the beach

costing less than $10 million.

Nestled among all the monuments

to bad taste
and income inequality

there's one place the rabble

will be able to afford

to spend a few days
at the beach...

the Sea Sprite.

It's set to open in six months.

After the NUTT resolutions
passed,

so many of the boardwalk
businesses folded

rather than deal with
the huge cash outlay

that the new
regulations required.

Somehow Matty found a way

to pay off
the Sea Sprite's debts

and keep the place in business.

It wasn't long after
the NUTT resolutions passed

that the city did away with
its rent control ordinances

and I lost my 600 square feet
of beachfront lodging.

I wasn't gonna be able
to afford it anyway.

I crashed at my dad's place

after his hip
replacement surgery

and we pretended it was me
nursing him back to health.

Chief Langdon,

some say your desire
to leave Neptune

for greener pastures
in San Diego

may have led you to take
shortcuts in the investigation.

It's not something they say
to my face.

But on the day of

the Kane High
dedication ceremony,

police were
nowhere to be found.

Survival hinged
on the Mars family.

Sorry. You asked a question
about me,

and I told you all about my
hometown,

all about the case.

It's quite a story, though.

I followed it
in the newspaper.

After the documentary aired,

a survey showed that

only 40% of America
thinks Penn did it.

Hmm.

He really is an evil genius.
Who knew?

What do you think
Logan would think

about you
coming to see me?

I think he'd be
pissed it took me this long.

I think he'd be impressed.

Reaching out shows me
that you are on your way.

To what?

To... well-being.

I'm afraid we're out of time,

but I'd love to talk to you
some more.

Maybe by phone.

I'm heading out of town, and...

I'm not sure when I'll be back.

Vacation?

A case.

Since the documentary,

we've been getting
calls from everywhere.

Which is good...

'cause I kind of want
to be anywhere but here.

What's your dad
going to do without you?

Oh, I think he'll manage.

He's got a girlfriend now.

Plus, he's gonna have
Pony for a while.

If I might not
see you for a while,

there is something

that I think you should have.

I'll email it to you.

On your wedding day,

I asked Logan if he was sure
he wanted to get married.

He said he was.

But I guess he wasn't
satisfied with his answer,

because after our session

he called my house
and left this message.

Is it weird
