00:00The Mind Reader

00:07This is Thea.

00:09All right, tough guy, where have you hidden the money?

00:12What money?

00:14Thea is a mind reader employed by the federal government for specialized interrogation of criminals whom normal investigators cannot crack.

00:23Yes, that's right. Thea can read minds, a unique ability that has boggled doctors and scientists alike.

00:31The money is in his grandmother's house. Go there and look for a wooden box in the cabin.

00:37What? How did you...

00:39I ask myself the same question.

00:42As instructed, the officers found the money in the house.

00:47Impossible!

00:50After a complete research and analysis by a team of scientists,

00:54they finally concluded that it is because of an out-of-the-ordinary gene mutation that altered her DNA sequence,

01:01rendering her capable of reading minds.

01:04But it is a hypothesis and is still debated.

01:08So, how was your day?

01:10Roy, don't do it.

01:12Do what?

01:13You are going to propose to me and I value our friendship.

01:17Let's not ruin it.

01:19Oh, God. It's not fair that you can read minds.

01:23I know. That's why I have dedicated my life to making the society a better place.

01:309-21, report to the headquarter. Code 77.

01:34What? On my way. Sorry, Roy. Gotta run.

01:38What is it, Officer Barton, sir?

01:40Since the last one month, a new criminal has emerged.

01:44Unlike no other, he is smart, intelligent and very sly.

01:49We have not been able to catch him.

01:51What has he done?

01:52What has he not, you should ask?

01:55To begin with, he emptied the cash vault at State General Bank.

02:00He did it so slyly that the bank was not aware of the theft.

02:07Until late in the day when they went to add money in the vault.

02:15Next, he stole the infamous Michael Lawrence painting from an event that had a hundred attendants.

02:22How did he do it? No one knows.

02:26And there are more.

02:28These.

02:32We are calling him the chameleon.

02:34A little children at the party apparently saw a man sneak out through the balcony.

02:40We used his help and traced this.

02:43Interesting.

02:44No, what is interesting is that he has left a clue for his next heist.

02:50What?

02:51Yes, our agents decoded it an hour ago.

02:54He is going for the crown of the queen as we speak.

02:58What? Shouldn't we be there?

03:00Our officers are on high alert.

03:02We will catch him this time.

03:04And when we do, you need to extract all the information from him.

03:09Copy that.

03:10Let's see how smart this guy is.

03:12Alpha to Charlie, all clear here, over.

03:15Bravo to Charlie, all clear here, over.

03:18Delta to Charlie, all clear here, over.

03:22Charlie to all teams, activating laser barrier.

03:26Now, where will he come from?

03:37What?

03:38Alpha, Bravo, Delta, what is going on?

03:41The security officers rushed towards the laser-beamed room to see that the crown was gone.

03:47There.

03:481710, emergency.

03:50Calling for aerial backup.

03:52But it was too late, for the chameleon had gone far away by then.

04:01Impossible.

04:03This guy is too good.

04:05Officer Barton, sir, we have finally managed to render his sketch digitally.

04:10Coming.

04:11What have we got?

04:13Suspect identified as Frank Palmer, male, 23.

04:17Address, Southwest Valley. Works at a laundry.

04:21Arrest him immediately. Bring him here.

04:30You were such a kind person, Frank.

04:34Thank you, Miss Betty. I try.

04:37These kids have suffered enough.

04:39It is up to us to make sure that they don't anymore.

04:43Here, take this.

04:45Such a big donation.

04:48It's time they get formal education.

04:50I will come back next month.

04:55Put your hands in the air where we can see them.

04:59Um, what's going on?

05:01You have the right to remain silent.

05:03Anything you say can be used against you in court.

05:06Frank was arrested and taken to the headquarter.

05:10That's him?

05:11Yes. Look how calm he is. Like he has no fear.

05:16Has he said anything?

05:17Nope. That's why you need to go in.

05:20Roger that.

05:21Hello, Mr. Frank Palmer.

05:24Hi. I've already told them I...

05:27That's okay. This won't take much time.

05:29Where is the crown of the queen?

05:32I don't know where it is. Okay?

05:35Thea was shocked. For the first time in her life,

05:38there was a person whose mind she could not read.

05:41Impossible.

05:43What?

05:44Nothing. Um, thank you for your time.

05:49An astonished Thea went to Officer Barton

05:52and told him how she could not read his mind.

05:55But you have always been able to...

05:57Yes, I know.

05:58You're thinking about a chicken sandwich right now as we speak.

06:01Um...

06:02But that man, I just couldn't...

06:04We checked his house. We found nothing.

06:08Has just one bank account with very little money.

06:11We have nothing on him.

06:13Maybe the kid who saw the chameleon at the party

06:15described him incorrectly?

06:17Maybe. And we can't keep him here any longer.

06:20We don't have any evidence.

06:22But you keep a close eye on him.

06:25Trust me. There's nothing I want more.

06:28And so, Frank was released.

06:30Thea began to follow him on the sly.

06:34Huh? Where did he go?

06:36Thea, are you watching him?

06:39I was. Lost him half an hour ago.

06:42No wonder. The pink diamond has been stolen from the Grand Museum.

06:46What?

06:48Frank was brought in again.

06:50This time, they did a third-degree interrogation on him.

06:54Thea tried again and failed, so they had to let him go.

06:58The news about the chameleon caught fire,

07:01and soon newspapers began to report it.

07:04Not just that, the state police's reputation also began to go down

07:08as the public mocked them for being outsmarted by a criminal.

07:12Thea began to follow Frank wherever he went,

07:16but Frank would suddenly disappear.

07:18Sometimes, he would enter a public washroom

07:21and then not come out for an hour.

07:23In the meantime, a theft would be reported.

07:26Thea was left scratching her head.

07:30But Thea did not give up,

07:32and one day, when she was following Frank,

07:35she saw him go to an old-age home.

07:38After an hour, when Frank left from there,

07:41Thea went in.

07:42Excuse me, that man who just came here,

07:45do his parents live here?

07:48Oh, him?

07:50Why, that's Mr. Frank Palmer.

07:55The lady told Thea how Frank donates money

07:58to the old-age home every month.

08:01Thea was shocked.

08:03How can a man who works at a laundry donate such an amount?

08:07I know, he is the chameleon.

08:11Thea decided to keep it to herself and continued to follow him.

08:15Over the days, she learned that Frank was helping the poor and the needy

08:20more than the government itself.

08:22She decided it was time to get to the bottom of the matter.

08:26Hi.

08:27Um, officer?

08:29What have I done now?

08:31Cut the act.

08:32I know you are the chameleon.

08:34Why is it that I can't read your mind?

08:36I don't know what you are talking about.

08:39Oh, really?

08:40Then explain all the money that you have been donating.

08:43I am sorry.

08:44I can't tell you that.

08:46You don't have a choice, Frank.

08:48We have proof of your donations.

08:50Trust me, you will go inside for a long time.

08:53Speak the truth and I can help you get a reduced sentence.

08:57Sentence for what?

08:59I haven't committed any crime.

09:01I am not the chameleon.

09:03Then explain the money.

09:07Fine.

09:09The owner of the laundry I work at is a scientist.

09:13He pays me to perform experiments on my mind.

09:17Now, Frank, this will hurt at little first,

09:20but then you will go into a deep slumber.

09:24I will then perform my test.

09:26When it is done, you will wake up.

09:29Shall we?

09:32Yes.

09:42What?

09:44I lost my parents when I was small.

09:46I have lived a very hard life.

09:49That's why I took it upon myself to help the poor and the needy.

09:53Dr. Kangaroo helps me with the money,

09:56and I let him do his experiments.

09:58But I didn't steal anything.

10:01Thea was shocked,

10:03for now she was beginning to put all the pieces of the puzzle together.

10:07Thank you, Frank, for being honest.

10:11Thea went back to the headquarters and told everything to Officer Barton.

10:16Something big is at play here.

10:19Let's follow him to the laundry.

10:22And that's what they did.

10:24When Frank reached the laundry, he went inside through the secret door

10:27where Dr. Kangaroo awaited him.

10:29You are late.

10:31Sorry, I had to.

10:33It's fine. Sit down.

10:36Frank sat, and as the doctor was about to place the helmet on his head,

10:40the door banged open.

10:42Police! Freeze!

10:44Put your hands where we can see them.

10:46What?

10:48Running experiments on humans, I see.

10:51You know it is illegal.

10:55It's completely harmless.

10:58Thea?

11:00Thea walked up to him and began reading his mind.

11:03She was stunned.

11:05What is it?

11:07This evil man hypnotizes Frank with this device.

11:10It has electrodes that pick up neuromuscular signals and dupes them,

11:15making Frank do what he wants.

11:18He also enhances his senses artificially,

11:21thereby intensifying his abilities.

11:24Then Frank follows the instruction planted on him.

11:27When all is done and the heist is completed,

11:30he comes back and sits again.

11:32The doctor takes the object from him and keeps it behind that secret wardrobe.

11:39Then he releases Frank off his trance.

11:43But that is not before he wipes out the events that happened while he was hypnotized.

11:48What?

11:50Yes, you feel you were here all along,

11:52but in reality, he used you as a pawn for his heists.

11:56Unbelievable.

11:58And that's why I could never read your mind about the heists,

12:01because there was no memory of it.

12:03Impossible. How did you...

12:06We will explain everything to you in prison. Come.

12:10And so, the evil Dr. Kangaroo was arrested, and his lab was destroyed.

12:16Frank was declared innocent,

12:18and the state also offered him a job as a police officer

12:21for his compassion towards the unprivileged.

12:25There are many ways to help society through lawful ways,

12:28and it is now time for you to show that.

12:31Thank you, Thea.

12:33And for the first time, Thea could read his mind.

12:37He likes me.

12:39What?

12:40Oh, nothing. You want to go get some coffee?

12:44Frank and Thea became very good friends,

12:46and eventually fell in love with each other.

12:49And together, they fought crime as the chameleon and the mind reader,

12:54making society better, one day at a time.
