How can that not be genius?

What's the most valuable thing in your office?

My Medal of Valor.All right, I will bet you that by midnight tonight, I can steal the Medal of Valor from your office.If I lose, I'll work the next five weekends.No overtime.But if I win, you have to do all of my paperwork tonight.I agree to participate.

Are you in my ceiling, Peralta?No.What's the plan?You wait for me to leave my office, lower yourself down, take my medal, and win the bet?Who are you talking to?There's no one up here.

Peralta, right now I'm taking my medal off the wall and placing it in a locked safe whose combination is known only to me.The safe, in turn, is locked in a cabinet.The only key to that cabinet is on my person.I'm off to my meeting.Good luck with your plan.

You think that scares me?Nice costume, Peralta.No Peralta here.Come out of there.

Captain, hey.You really thought this was going to work?You could have at least created a diversion to distract me from your terrible costume.

I'm not a dumb butt.I had a diversion planned.There was just a slight timing issue.

Oh my god!Get down!Fire!

Hit it, royal babies.

What?No!Keys.Captain, sorry to interrupt.Some officers just arrested Peralta.What?

They caught him scaling the side of the building with a blowtorch.

Captain, welcome to the end game.I knew you wouldn't win the bet.But your performance tonight has made me question not only how good a detective you are, but quite frankly, how smart you are.

Well, that's not surprising.You constantly underestimate me.

No, you've been correctly estimated.You are five minutes into your deadline.And here you are, handcuffed to a table in a locked room.

Which is precisely where I planned on being.

You remember when I fell through your ceiling?

Yes, that was six hours ago.It was, I admit, a disastrous failure.But it gave me the idea for Herman, the friendly janitor you met.

I caught you as Herman.But you didn't catch Rosa.

Come out of there!As it turns out, our friend Rosa is great at picking locks.Of course, I had to find a way to get her out of your office without you seeing her.So I created a diversion.Not mistimed.Perfectly timed.

So she could escape unseen.All that was left was for the royal babies to steal your keys.

You were so concerned with getting your keys back.you didn't even notice the sergeant steal your phone.I then had Charles dust your screen cover for prints.The greasiest smudges revealed the four numbers you used the most.

The four numbers in your passcode.

Based on your advanced age, I assume that you used the same passcode for everything.That would be a fair assumption.And that brings us to five minutes ago, when Amy came to your office and told you that I had been arrested.And as you walked over here, Charles awkwardly stuffed himself through your window and opened your safe.We had the four numbers of your code, which meant There are 24 possible combinations for Charles to try.That could take up to four minutes, which is why I really dragged out this explanation.

Now, four minutes is up, which means Boyle is either on the other side of that door holding your medal, or I've lost.

Well, Captain, it seems that Jake isn't the only person you underestimate.20 seconds to spare.

Game over, Captain.I'm impressed, Peralta.Well done.

Thank you, sir.Captain?

Sir?

He's not coming back.
