You're under arrest for

impersonating an officer

and federal charges of

embezzlement and fraud.

Good riddance.

- Someday, I'll get you, Petrossian.

- Sir, I gotta arrest you, too.

You're wanted on the same

charge as your pal, here.

That's your man. He framed Walker.

The money disappeared

from his Swiss account.

If you're innocent, Mr. Petrossian,

what happened to the money?

- I wish I knew.

- Oh, babe.

Mrs. Petrossian,

where did you get that hideo...

I mean, extremely

unique bumblebee broach?

Miss Gold, this is hardly the time.

I'm sorry, but this

really is very important.

Oh, this? Well, let's see.

I've had it since

Reagan was in office.

Actually, I found it.

I had gone to the bank

to meet my son for lunch.

There was a paper bag on

the floor, so I picked it up.

Inside was the most

magnificent piece ofjewelry

I had ever seen.

I'm tellin'you, it would've

cost $25 at the flea market.

- Look. Look what I found.

- Oh, wow.

We figured it must belong

to somebody in the bank.

But the next day,

my poor son was on the run.

I never had a chance

to find the owner.

...belongs to anybody?

Everyone behold

a very rare Canary diamond.

It's so rare that

there are less than

30 certified Canary diamonds

around the world.

With its vivid color, unique

shape and flawless condition,

it's probably worth around...

...$10 million.

This is wonderful.

I think that Meany... Granville...

...took the money out

of the Swiss account.

He put it in there

so he could take it out.

Then he bought the diamond

to hide the money.

I thought you stole it, Petrossian.

I was taking it to

a safety deposit box,

and then it was gone.

- Now give it back to me!

- Get him outta here!

Give it back to me!

It's mine!

This isn't fair!

This isn't fair.

Give it back to me! Mine!

You're a genius, Lexy.

In what part of the brain

do you store this information?

The bauble department.

Have you seen

the morning paper?

Uh, yeah.

You made the front page.

That's your byline.

Yeah. I can't believe it.

Maybe you should be one

of my career day speakers.

As a journalist.

Maybe even as a detective.

Well, my dad says they're

both kind of the same.

Orlando and I want to thank you.

The police have finished

their investigation,

and he's a free man now.

That's wonderful.

Gosh, Miss Dawson, I mean,

I just took my dad's advice.

You'd be amazed at what

hard work, imagination,

and a little luck can bring you.

Maybe we should

invite your dad to speak.

Yeah, that's a great idea.

I gotta go.

I'm meeting Orlando.

He wants to ask me something.

Okay, I'll see you later. Bye.

Oh, my gosh!

Hi.

Hi.

Hey. Hi.

Oh, thank you. Thank you.

Ah, thank you, sir.

I'll have grandchildren!

Liking the Dalmatian

look on Mrs. P.

Oh, yes.

That is a tail-wagger.

Uh, is she going

on the honeymoon too?

Bye, everyone!

Bye! Thank you!

Bye! Goodbye! Thank you!

Hey, Gabe. I'm sorry that Diane

aired the story before you did.

Yeah, it's okay.

I got a call into Geraldo.

So, tell me,

what's your whole secret?

What?

Come on. You always

get the inside story.

Oh, Gabe.

Okay. There is no secret.

It's all about skill.

Oh, hey, Jack.

I heard you got your scholarship

renewed. Congratulations.

- Hey, Jen!

- Hey.

Thank you. I'm looking forward

to going back to Millington.

Partly because of you.

Well, you didn't have to say that,

but since you already did...

You did a great job,

Lexy, on the case.

You should be

proud of yourself.

I learned something totally

important from you, Jack.

Things aren't always

what they appear to be.

And that's good.

It keeps life interesting.

Are you starting a new

paper handbag trend?

Get a clue, Jack.

I've been shopping.

Of course.

It's for you.

I found them at a vintage shop,

and I sort of customized them.

Thank you. I like 'em.

Well, I thought maybe

we could go bowling sometime.

I don't think so.

Hey, no. That'd be fun.

Yeah! Oh, yeah!

All right, so what about

the shoes that other people have worn?

Shoes. Eww!

I think I can survive

wearing pre-worn shoes, guys.

Lexy, are you crazy?

You don't know where

those shoes have been.

Does the word "fungi"

mean anything to you?

Come on, Jen. My feet aren't

that elite. Neither are yours.

Get with the planet.

New York has got to be

the coolest city in the world.

It has a little bit of everything.

Be it mystery, intrigue

or good friends, it's all here.

And if you can't find it,

well, then you just have to...

...get a clue.
