Simon picks the lock of Travers' apartment and he and Henry sneak it.  "They don't teach you that in mole school," brags Simon.  He starts to look around the room.  "Hey, Inspector Clouseau, we have work to do," says Henry.  Simon says he's looking for bugs.  "What, his detectors might detect our detectors detecting his detectors?" jokes Henry.  Yeah, says Simon.  This is where Travers does his dirty business, so it makes sense that he would have security.  "I mean, if I was running for D.A. and working for James Stenbeck, I would be covering my rear as well, right?" he asks.  "Ah, the infamous Mr. Stenbeck," ponders Henry.  "You know, I'm curious to meet the man that has been terrorizing small town America.  I mean, on a monitor from the safety of a back room, you know, but I'd like to see the guy everyone says that I've been working for."  

       

Henry oohs and ahhs over the smoke detector camera, "Is this double-oh-seven, or what?"  Simon says he just hopes Travers' buys it.  Henry hands Simon the smoke detector with the camera in it so he can replace the old one with it.  Henry promises that Travers will never notice.  "Yeah, we hope, we hope," says Simon pessimistically.  "Hope, hope?  It's a skill, you faithless kangaroo, you!  Chill.  See, he hasn't even discovered the bug in his hotel room yet, has he?" says Henry.

Henry and Simon are in the storage closet looking at the monitor they have just set up.  Henry says the resolution is great, "I'm a genius!"  Simon tells him his big head is in the way of the screen.  He says he'd like to train the camera away from the bed and onto the chairs.  Henry reminds him that Barbara stabbed Stenbeck, so maybe he'd want to lie down.  Simon still wants to  move it, and starts to leave.  Just then they see Travers' walk into the room, and Henry tells him to wait.  They watch as Travers' checks out the room, looking for bugs.  He goes right for the smoke detector and Henry mutters, "Just please believe, please believe it's a smoke detector - please.  Please, please - he's looking right at it.  Please believe it's a smoke detector.  C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon."  Marshall starts to back away.  "That's it, that's it.  That's right, that's right.  It's not what you thought it was, all right.  Thought he had us there."  They breathe a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, back at the Lakeview, Marshall has found the bug in his room and told Jessica about it.  She found out that Bonnie and her friends were behind it, and told her to stop it immediately.  Bonnie calls Simon and Henry and tells them to get back to the Lakeview.  They make sure that the equipment is running properly, and leave.

Henry and Simon walk into the Lakeview suite and Bonnie and Isaac tell them about Travers finding the bug, and that Jessica was with him when he threatened to call the police on them.  "Okay, that's it.  I'm sorry, I have a problem with authority, especially those that wear a uniform," says Henry as he tries to leave.  "Not so fast, mate," says Simon, stopping him.  "Look, maybe he was bluffing.  It took us a while to get here, right?  There were sign of cops."  "What, you want to wait for them to kick in the door?" asks Henry.  Bonnie tells them that her mother is furious too.  "Oh, now, that's comforting.  See, that's great.  There's no cops, but the D.A. wants our scalps," says Henry.  "The D.A. wants us to shut this little operation down.  And, guys, that's exactly what we're going to do," orders Bonnie.

Transcripts from ATWTweekly

[ Apartment Building - Marshall's Room ]
>> Henry: Beautiful.
>> Simon: Bingo. They don't teach you that in mole school.
>> Henry: Hey, "Inspector Clouseau," we have work to do.
>> Simon: I am working -- looking for security devices.
>> Henry: What, his detectors might detect our detectors detecting his detectors?
>> Simon: Okay -- yeah, exactly. Look, this is gonna be the place where Travers does most of his dirty work, right?
>> Henry: Right.
>> Simon: So, makes sense that he'd have some sort of security rigged up. I mean, if I was running for D.A. and working for James Stenbeck, I would be covering my rear as well, right?
>> Henry: Ah, the infamous Mr. Stenbeck. You know, I'm curious to meet the man that has been terrorizing small town America. I mean, on a monitor from the safety of a back room, you know, but I'd like to see the guy everyone says that I've been working for. Isn't this thing amazing? Come here, look at this -- don't you just love it? Is this double-oh-seven, or what? Works like a camera, looks like a smoke alarm. Voila!
>> Simon: Well, listen, "W" -- Travers better buy it. That's all I'm saying.
>> Henry: I mean, you just put this baby up there, replace that one -- he'll never notice the difference.
>> Simon: Yeah, we hope, we hope.
>> Henry: Hope, hope? It's a skill, you faithless kangaroo, you! Chill. See, he hasn't even discovered the bug in his hotel room yet, has he?

[ Apartment Building - Supply Closet ]
[ Simon and Henry are checking out the monitor and video recorder that is taping everything that goes on in Marshall's room down the hall ]
>> Henry: No, the resolution's great, isn't it? Geez, I'm a genius.
>> Simon: I think your big head's getting in the way of the screen. You know what I want to do? I want to train the camera away from the bed and on to the chairs.
>> Henry: Hmm, well, I thought Paul's mother stabbed Stenbeck in the gut, so maybe he'll want to lay down, huh?
>> Simon: Yeah, right. Look, I'll be right back.
>> Henry: Wait, Simon, Simon, Simon -- Simon, wait. Come here just a second. Look at this. I think that's -- yeah, that's him.
>> Simon: Okay, maybe we want to leave the camera right the way it is.
>> Henry: Oh, yeah.
>> Simon: Nice suit.
>> Henry: Yeah. What's he doing?
>> Simon: Oh, man -- what do you think he's doing? He's looking for bugs.
>> Henry: All right, all right, all right. Now, he's not gonna think to look at a smoke detector, you know? I think we did a pretty good job with that, he's -- wait a second. What are you doing?
>> Simon: Where do you think he's coming to? He's coming to the smoke detector, and --
>> Henry: No, no, no- wait a second, wait.
>> Simon: Okay, now, listen.
>> Henry: Just please believe, please believe it's a smoke detector -- please. Please, please -- he's looking right at it. Please believe it's a smoke detector. C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon. That's it, that's it. That's right, that's right. It's not what you thought it was, all right. Thought he had us there.
>> Simon: Yeah.

[ Lakeview Towers - I Spy Suite ]
>> Isaac: Keep it short. Just get 'em back here.
>> Bonnie: [ on the phone ] Hi, it's Bonnie.
>> Simon: Yeah, Marshall's in his room. He didn't spot the camera.
>> Bonnie: Oh, that's great -- that's great, but you and Henry need to get here right away.
>> Simon: Why -- why, anything wrong?
>> Bonnie: Yeah, but nothing I can explain right now. Just get here, and I'll explain everything. Hurry. Maybe we can still get something on Travers. He's there right now, and if he's meeting with Stenbeck, that can be damning evidence on tape, right? My mom could still win.
>> Simon: Look, we're all clear. Ready to go?
>> Henry: Yeah.
>> Simon: You set?
>> Henry: Uh-huh.

[ Lakeview Towers - I Spy Suite ]
>> Bonnie: Marshall found the bug.
>> Simon: You're sure?
>> Bonnie: Yeah, my mom was with him when he threatened to call the police.
>> Henry: Okay, that's it. I'm sorry, I have a problem with authority, especially those that wear a uniform.
>> Simon: Not so fast, mate. Look, maybe he was bluffing. It took us a while to get here, right? There were sign of cops.
>> Henry: What, you want to wait for them to kick in the door?
>> Bonnie: My mother is furious.
>> Henry: Oh, now, that's comforting. See, that's great. There's no cops, but the D.A. wants our scalps.
>> Bonnie: The D.A. wants us to shut this little operation down. And, guys, that's exactly what we're going to do.
