The Hardy Boys

Previously, on Hardy Boys...

Where's your nephew now?

Three weeks ago, he disappeared.

And I believe you're the man to find him.

Rupert Khan? Yeah.

You knew my wife. I was helping her

to destroy the Circle of The Eye.

Ever since I heard they found that piece on the boat,

I've been thinking about my successor.

The legacy of The Eye will fall to you, Francis.

"The only place The Eye can be broken or reforged

"is in the chamber of The Eye where we discovered it.

I think that it's the only place it can be destroyed, as well."

He does something crazy every time I don't listen to him.

So, why didn't you listen?

Because he wants to destroy The Eye and I don't. That's why.

He is right about one thing, though. We'd probably be safer without it.

Okay, so just tell him he was right... when we find him.

You okay?

Yeah.

When you've lost as much as we have,

sometimes you have to take big risks.

We have gone too far this time!

We have blood on our hands.

We are not responsible for those deaths.

You cannot simply walk away from the Circle, George.

No, I can't wait. It's not safe here anymore.

They're coming.

I have to get out of Bridgeport tonight.

I'll contact you when I land.

Wait there.

It's them.

It's the Circle, isn't it?

Let me help.

Gloria...

You are my daughter, and I will always love you.

But you will never be part of the Circle of The Eye.

Just tell me why.

What did I do?

It isn't your fault, darling.

It's mine.

I know one day you'll understand.

And I hope you'll forgive me.

Goodbye, Gloria.

Joe, wake up. Aah!

Get dressed. Attic. Five minutes. Hurry up.

Don't let this go to your head.

But... you were right.

I like where this is going already.

I've thought about it, and we need to destroy The Eye.

Nice to have you on board.

What do you think I was trying to do this whole time?

You wanted to destroy one piece of it. That's not enough.

We need to destroy the entire thing.

And how do you suppose we do that?

I mean, even if we could get the other two pieces, which we can't,

the only place that it can be destroyed is the chamber.

And we have no idea where that is.

This map is useless.

Maybe not.

I think we missed something.

George built that entire room

to hide everything he knew about The Eye.

He even hid it from his own daughter.

The way to the chamber is in there. I'm sure of it.

Well, even if it was, Grandma wouldn't just let you walk in.

She would if she thinks I'm gonna give her what she wants.

- She wants you. - She wants control of The Eye.

That's our leverage.

- What's this? - Just came in.

My dossier on the man who attacked the Astghik,

killed the crew, and stole your piece of The Eye.

Turns out he was a known associate of Victor Nabokov.

Ex‐military. Did the dirty work for the family.

Victor died months before the attack.

He couldn't possibly have ordered it.

That's what concerns me, ma'am.

He must have named a successor.

The Nabokovs, the Khans, and the Estabrooks.

All the families back in play.

The rivalry of one generation,

passing on to the next.

You can't just give her the piece.

If you do, she won't have any reason to tell you anything.

This is the best shot we have!

If you have another idea, let's hear it,

but for right now, this is the best option.

So, you're going undercover.

Mom wanted to expose the truth, and bring down the Circle.

No Eye, no Circle.

Let's finish what she started.

Frank?

- Yeah, I'm just going to work. - Can you come here, please?

What's up?

I'm gonna ask you something, and I want you to level with me, okay?

Yeah, yeah. Sure. Of course.

That thing. The... The piece.

It's here, isn't it?

No.

Frank.

Stop.

Look, I know you think I'm some sort of obstacle

that you have to get by...

I don't think that.

Okay, maybe sometimes just a little bit.

Look, I get it.

I may not know what that thing even is, but...

I know a lot of people have been hurt because of it.

I want it out of the house.

Okay.

I'm working on it.

I gotta go.

I'll talk to you later.

Miss me?

Don't flatter yourself.

I see you've come to your senses.

I'll take the piece now, Mr. Cox.

Hold on. Hold on.

It took me forever to climb through that window,

so just give me a minute.

Things didn't exactly go as planned.

I don't have it.

Stefan‐‐ I had the Khan piece.

Had?

And I lost it.

To whom?

You make me an offer, and I will tell you.

You know, you're as bad a negotiator as you are a thief.

Ouch. I'm not gonna hold that against you,

because we're such good friends. Stefan, get in here, please.

She has two pieces now.

Who has? This 16‐year‐old girl. Okay?

I got a little bit ambitious, went after her, this happened.

A 16‐year‐old girl did that to you? No.

No, not her specifically. She has... people.

People.

This is what we're going to do.

You want to get paid,

you finish the job.

My two grandsons are in possession of my piece of The Eye.

You want to steal from your own grandkids?

It's not stealing. It's already mine.

Yeah, okay. Fine. You got a deal.

Now? No, tomorrow. Yes, now.

Okay.

Hey.

Oh, hey.

Called your house. Your aunt said you were here.

How's Joe doing?

He's fine.

You know Joe. Nothing really phases him.

And you?

Well, other than trying to navigate the inner politics

of a menacing secret society run by my grandmother,

I'm doing great. Right.

Seriously, whatever issues the two of you have had in the past,

she's still your grandmother,

and I don't think she would ever do anything to hurt you.

You'd think so, right?

Which is way more than I can say about Stacy.

Do you actually think Stacy's gonna help you?

What are you talking about?

I saw her kiss you.

Callie, that was... that was nothing.

But that girl is using you.

You can see that. Right?

Or are you actually just like every other guy

the second a girl shows him the slightest bit of attention?

That's actually not what's happening,

but if you want to take it out on me because Chet broke up with you,

then you, you go right ahead.

You know, for such a smart guy, you can be pretty dumb sometimes.

Callie. Callie, wait.

Ooh. What was that?

Nothing.

That did not look like nothing.

You know, it's funny. I'm actually starting to enjoy

all the silly high school drama.

Like, no wonder her boyfriend dumped her, right?

Come on. Everybody knows.

She saw us kiss.

Well, it's probably better that she knows about us.

Us?

Yeah. Us.

Now that Joe's safe, you and I can move ahead with our plan.

And what plan is that, exactly?

Frank, we want the same thing.

We do?

Yes.

To get revenge on the people who made us orphans.

I'm not an orphan.

Frank, do you even know where your father is?

Um...

Hey.

It's okay, though.

Because we have each other.

Not exactly the presidential suite.

It's fine. It's a good place to lay low.

Good.

'Cause you're gonna have to stay put till we get some answers.
