News of Curtis Hagan's early release prompts Peter to reflect on how far he and Neal have come since the early days of their partnership. But while Peter may be enjoying the perks of his new position, Neal must grudgingly serve both the FBI and the Dutchman. And now the Dutchman has a new job for Neal: stealing the 13th chapter of the Mosconi Codex, a valuable book on heavily secured display at the Gershon Museum.
With Agent Seigel checking Neal's anklet every few hours, the normal approach is out. But what if Neal were at the museum to stop a robbery? Neal and Moz soon concoct a scheme that will put another thief in the museum with Neal and Seigel on stakeout outside. With a well-timed distraction and an ID card from a beautiful and unwitting museum book expert, Neal should be able to secure the pages for Hagan AND bring in a big bust for his handler.
Everything is going according to schedule - until an unannounced visit from Peter and a tripped alarm lead to the thief escaping. Now, with Hagan waiting on his prize, Neal will have to find a way to wrap the case up before the FBI starts looking too closely...
