- Peter brings home a scanner that can pick up sounds from far away. He goes to work and leaves it, Elizabeth is there when she hears a conversation it's picking up that the neighbors are having. That's when she hears them talking about a crime they're planning. She calls Peter and tells him about it. He and Neal go to check it out but nothing is happening. He attributes the whole thing to her recent abduction. She then calls Mozzie and the two of them check out the neighbors. They discover something but instead of telling Peter, she calls Neal and asks for his help. They try to find out more info before they tell Peter.—rcs0411@yahoo.com
- Through a sophisticated FBI scanner Peter left lying around at home, Elisabeth gets wind of what sounds like their new neighbors Ben and Rebecca Ryan planning an unspecified robbery at a given time and crossing. Peter's team finds nothing there, so he dismisses the whole thing as post-abduction trauma. Mozzie however agrees to help her illegally checking on the Ryans, which yields incriminating clues. Now Neal can convince Peter to take it all seriously, which proves warranted but dangerous.—KGF Vissers
- Open with Peter (Tim DeKay) and Elizabeth (Tiffani Thiessen) at home. He's been working from home and leaves a scanner on the living room table. Later, while Elizabeth works from home, she overhears a conversation that sounds like a crime being planned. Reference is made to a specific time and a particular intersection. Elizabeth calls Peter and gives him the tip.
Peter and Neal (Matt Bomer) sit at the intersection but nothing happens. They begin to discuss whether Elizabeth is still shaken from the Keller experience when she shows up to see what happened. She's disappointed. It seems they don't fully believe what she heard.
Mozzie (Willie Garson) comes over to help Elizabeth monitor the scanner. They hear the same voice again and realize the person is by a car across the street. Mozzie thinks he sees a gun. They watch him go into a house just a few doors away from Elizabeth and Peter's place.
Elizabeth and Mozzie play the tape for Neal, which includes reference to a "work order." She doesn't want to tell Peter until she knows for certain she's right. Neal and Mozzie agree to look into it.
Jones (Sharif Atkins) and Diana (Marsha Thomason) tell Peter after a complete analysis of the intersection, nothing more interesting than an ATM malfunction and a few phones going down took place.
With Mozzie standing guard, Neal looks through the window of the house the man walked into. He sees the duffle bag the man had in his trunk. They are chased away before he can get inside. On the way home, Neal tells him he saw a government-issue lock picking set illegal for private ownership.
The plan becomes for Peter to somehow get over there and see the lock picking set on his own. Elizabeth brings over some peas from her garden and introduces herself to the man's wife, Rebecca (Lola Glaudini). Her husband's name is Ben (Joe Manganiello). Elizabeth manages to invite her and Peter over for dinner by saying their kitchen is being remodeled.
Before dinner, Peter tells Elizabeth he hates telling people what he does. They always want help with parking tickets.
While Peter and Elizabeth are at dinner, Neal and Mozzie watch from the street in a car. Neal clearly enjoys stakeouts, particularly with Peter.
Ben tells them he's a painter. Rebecca is a dancer considering retiring. They begin to quiz Peter about what he does. He lets them guess. Elizabeth excuses herself to use the bathroom.
Upstairs, Elizabeth goes into another room to look for the bag. Her walking around makes Ben think there might be mice. He goes upstairs to investigate. In the duffle bag, she also finds professional telephone repair equipment and a uniform. Ben goes into the room. Elizabeth hides in the closet. He locks the door after leaving. She's trapped and signals for Mozzie and Neal.
Peter wonders what's keeping Elizabeth just as Neal talks her through picking the lock from the fire escape. Just as she opens the door, she walks into Peter, who sees both her and Neal at the window. They pretend Elizabeth isn't feeling well and leave.
The gang explains the scheme to an upset Peter. They tell him about the duffle bag. Peter mentions the phones going out.
Diana finds out Ben did four years for armed robbery. Neal says he thinks the other day was a dry run for the big score. Peter realizes a criminal lives just down the street and calls Elizabeth to tell her.
Just as the phone rings, she's answering the door. It's Ben, returning the dish the peas were in. He ends up coming inside and notices their kitchen is not being remodeled. He makes a few threatening comments and leaves.
Peter doesn't want to bring Ben in for fear of scaring him. He sends Mozzie over to watch her.
They tail Ben and watch him speaking with fellow ex-con Connor Bailey. This is his accomplice. The plan is for Neal to get close to Ben as an ex-con. They will turn Ben in to his parole officer and plant Neal there to met him after the meeting.
The plan works perfectly. Neal and Ben hit it off. He invites him to have a drink at a strip club. While they're there, Ben takes a call and writes down something on a pad. He leaves for a minute. Neal uses a stripper's eyeliner to bring up the letters on the next sheet.
The letters form a work order of some kind. Peter has found out Connor is the daytime manager at the strip club.
It turns out the heist is at a hotel hosting a gem convention. Ben has been painting the place. The manager says his vault has more than $7 million in it. They get there just as Ben and Connor are leaving with the vault. They fire a few automatic rounds at Peter and Neal and get away in a van.
Neal tells Peter he thinks Ben is putting down roots by buying the home. They think Ben is going to sit on his cash and lay low.
Elizabeth and Mozzie are at home. Peter calls Elizabeth to tell him what's happening and tells her squad cars are en route. Elizabeth sees Rebecca place bags in her trunk and leave. She makes Mozzie help her follow.
Peter says if they can match the exact amount of cash they'll be able to bring them in. Elizabeth calls to tell him they've followed her to the strip club. They see her going inside with three huge, empty bags.
Elizabeth makes Mozzie go inside the strip club with her. The plan is to pretend they're FBI. After some coaching from Mozzie, Elizabeth tells Connor she's an agent. They know about the heist. He walks into a back room and tells Ben and Rebecca what is happening. Rebecca and Ben see who it is on the surveillance cameras and start grabbing weapons. Mozzie creates a distraction, buying them enough time to get away. Elizabeth ends up knocking out Rebecca with a vase. Ben and Connor are apprehended outside.
