Swindell!

Game over!

Late breaking score,

I win, you lose.

I got the red-head

Captain Cybertor.

I got the Honus.

And you, Bing,

Griffin Bing, got...

Oh!

Where is Swindell?

Oh...

I pay for

red-haired Captain Cybertor.

So you give to me

red-haired Captain Cybertor

or I get angry.

I don't... I don't have the

red-headed Captain Cybertor.

These kids.

No talk, Swindell.

Cybertor. Now.

Um...

We have one.

A red-haired

Captain Cybertor figure.

We could sell it to you,

Mr. Swindell.

Original offer still stands.

No?

Okay, then.

He's all yours, Mr. Volkov.

Oh, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no.

Okay!

Okay, okay!

You win, Bing.

Here, it's yours,

free and clear.

Fine.

Your card.

I've never doubted you. You did.

Only a little.

What? Oh, yes.

There we go.

Here you go.

Da. Red hair.

Good.

Good, good.

Good.

Good is good!

Yeah, yeah?

You got your red-haired Captain

Cybertor. I got my money.

Everything's good, right?

No.

Oh.

You run now, Swindell.

Run...

And never stop.

I wasn't looking!

Your plan worked just like

you said it would, Griffin.

It did! Feeling pretty

egotastic right now.

And you!

You were amazing.

Did you really think so,

Savannah?

I had a blast.

And, fellas,

the real kudos go to you.

You buoyed and grounded

my performance.

Our pleasure,

Mr. Westcott.

Any chance to work

with the master.

You must be Darren.

My daughter, Savannah,

has told me all about you.

Says you have

some real talent.

I was telling Darren

he should enroll

in your acting classes.

OMG. Don't even think.

Just do it.

Uh, all right,

all right, I'm in.

Yes, he's in!

You ready to make

a million dollars?

$1.2 million.

I like the sound of that.

Whoo!

Thank you.

Oh, man, thank you.

Thank you.

Whoo!

Pardonnez-moi!

Oh, hi.

I have one small question.

Who are you people and why

are you disrupting my auction?

Um, actually,

that's two questions.

Who are we?

Yes, mmm-hmm?

We are the true owners of an

authentic Honus Wagner card.

Oh!

And good news.

We're selling.

Bonjour. Please, right

this way. Thank you.

Right into the biddings.

Let's start the bidding

at $500,000!

Oh!

This isn't $80,000.

Oh, no.

Oh, no, no, no!

Oh, no!

Oh, no, no.

- What?

- Mr. Swindell?

Your bill.

Crown penthouse

luxury suite?

Eight hamburgers,

six pizzas,

10 sundae supremes,

12 shrimp cocktail?

Deep tissue massage?

Thirty five thousand dollars?

Bing!

Bing!

Monies, ya.

I can't thank

you guys enough.

Dude, this goes a long way. Yeah,

what did your parents say when

you got home with the money?

They were overjoyed,

no doubt.

Actually, no.

Turns out they didn't need

the money. Like, at all.

Well, I'm, I'm confused.

Explain, please.

The iGot It was a big hit

at the Snake Pit.

Dad's got thousands of orders from

police stations all across the country.

I just bought stock

in the company.

Mmm, smart girl.

Nice, but what'd you do

with the rest of the money?

First, I sent

the Stroumboulopouloses

on a sweet honeymoon

they'll never forget.

The least you could do. Good idea.

And then I bought this.

Whew!

The Shield of Barradon!

Do I look

like the poster?

You know what?

You kind of do.

What's happening?

That's still a lot

of money left over.

Well, I was thinking we had enough

to pay for everyone's college.

- Nice.

- Sweet.

Dude, that's, that's awesome. Yeah!

Oh.

Yeah.

And as for the rest of it,

we earned it together,

we'll spend it together.

Now, that is a plan

I can embrace.

But on what?

Helping people.

Who?

Excuse me.

Are you Griffin Bing?

Yeah.

Can you help me?

I had this blue parrot

named Berry...

Blue Berry, cute.

And I left him to get

groomed at this pet shop.

But when I got back, the shop

owner told me Berry had died.

Except he didn't.

He's selling him

to a man in Las Vegas.

Vegas?

Why would anybody go through

that much trouble for a bird?

Berry is a rare

blue mutation Amazon

worth $20,000.

Ha! Well,

that's a good reason.

Can you help me?

Yes, I think we can.

So, I'm Griffin Bing.

And this is the team.

And we take down swindlers.
