The fat suit was the parachute.

The guy got on a plane
with this fake mustache,
and then jumped off at , feet.
- Are you guys hearing this?
- Hey, Phil.
Chill.
- Who invited this kid?
- I live here.
And you're like a year older than me.
And then he just vanishes?
How does nobody see where he landed?
JOE: I don't know. Maybe
he's a spy or something.
- Or a superhero.
- FRANK: Or a fugitive.
If he wasn't before,
then he sure is now.
CHET: Maybe he was just
crazy, and wanted a way out.
He wasn't crazy. He knew
exactly what he was doing.
What?
I mean, he waited for
the plane to be low enough
so there'd be oxygen when he jumped out,
and he was smart enough to
get a parachute on board.
He got on that plane to do
something. Something important.
And jumping was the only
way for him to escape.
CHET: His dad's a detective.
That's not genetic.
Okay, I know where you guys come
from, everybody's a criminal,
but this town sees a little
less action than that.
JOE: Really?
'Cause we've only been here a week,
and I've already had somebody
hold me at Kn*fe point.
CHET: Ern's not a bad guy...
I went to school with the kid.
He wouldn't hurt anybody.
He was just scared.
Yeah. Of what?
FRANK: Joe, come here.
Come look at this.
This is from Mom's pad.
She wrote this the day that she d*ed.
- Astghik?
- CHET: Astghik.
Isn't that Ern's boat?
Yeah. Why would she
even care about that?
Do you have any idea where
Ern might have run off to?
FENTON: Don't even think about it.
He held a Kn*fe to Joe, Dad.
That's right. That means he's dangerous.
That means you're not going after him.
The police will take care of it.
Do you mind letting me out?
Yeah, yeah.
On your way to the airport, Mr. Hardy?
FENTON: I have to, uh, pick
up a few things for my trip.

CHET: So, who's this guy?
FRANK: It's my dad's old partner.
What do you think they're talking about?
I bet it's undercover stuff.
Like dirty cops and dope dealers.
I looked in on the woman who
hired you to find her nephew.
She's Kanika Imani Khan.
Ultra-rich, supporter of the arts,
- and education...
- And the part that's not in the papers?
Nobody knows where the money came from.
She's got her finger in a lot of pies.
Ties to some dodgy
politicians, organized crime...
Nothing conclusive, but...
But you think she's setting me up?
Fen, sometimes you
jump before you think.
Her nephew called Laura three times
from Bridgeport on the day she d*ed.
And then he got on an airplane.
I gotta do this, Sam.

GLORIA: Trudy. What are you
doing here? Is everything okay?
No, Gloria. It's not.
Fenton left the boys in my care,
and I don't appreciate you
stepping in and over me.
Trudy, I was just excited to see them.
Well, where are they? They said
they'd be home for dinner tonight.
Well, they're not here.
They've been gone all day.
Trudy, darling, you don't
have children of your own.
If... if they don't
know who the boss is,
they'll just run circles around you.
Perhaps it's not the worst idea
for the boys to stay with me
until Fenton gets back, hmm?

My Aunt Trudy's downstairs.

What happened with the drop?
Yeah, about that.
Joe?
I did what you asked.
But...

That's not ideal, Joe.

Eighty bucks.
You better split this with your friend.
Don't be greedy. It's all there.

Pretty smart using a

Guilty.
You're a smart kid.
