## Plot

Roddy Diesel and Kasey walk into The Bastard's house, who wanted to invest. They introduce themselves as professors from Princeton to the butler, who could not stop eyeing Kasey's breasts. As they approach another door, they reach Praetorian, who asks who they are. The butler tells him that they are scientists and they walk right past him. They are told they have 20 minutes to make their pitch as The Bastard waits for them at his desk.

The Bastard is surprised that they want him to invest in a time machine, also mentioning that it sounds expensive. Kasey and Roddy Diesel agree that it will be expensive, but with their projections, he would be able to become the greatest supervillain of all time. However, The Bastard tells him that he already was the greatest supervillain ever. Praetorian tells them that their time is up, but Roddy wants to use the bathroom.

As The Bastard and Kasey walk, she sees that there was a corner set up for painting. She asks him if he does it, to which he replies that sometimes. He tells her that he appreciates that they wanted to investigate, but tells her that she was too late since he had no use for a time machine. He says he chose retirement because he had lost his hunger. The butler tries groping Kasey, but she removes his hand and asks The Bastard if he would prefer to invest in art, but he says that his new art was a method for expressing sensitivity that defies space and time. He shows her a Mondrian painting as Roddy Diesel joins them again. Roddy does not understand the painting, but Kasey is able to make The Bastard agree with what she says about it. The Bastard says that like Mondrian, he had moved from the US because it does not have a past or future that requires rewriting, which is why he does not need a time machine. Praetorian tells The Bastard that his guests from the Middle East would be there soon, so he suggests that they pitch the time machine to Salamander.

Kasey and the butler look out a window. Kasey asks him what there was at a building at the end of a pathway and is told that The Bastard meditated there. The butler offers to take her there, but Roddy Diesel says that he wants to leave, which Kasey agrees with.

At the casino, Carmine and Johnny walk in, with the former excited that all of it could be theirs. Ghost says that he did not know there were casinos like that in Japan. TK tries a game, but tries moving it when he lost. However Ghost stops him from using his powers. The Bastard looks out at the casino with Praetorian and both of them head to the VIP room to meet their guests from the middle east.

Kasey and Johnny look at a recreation Kasey had made of The Bastard's mansion, while The Diesel Brothers join them. Ghost wonders how she had done it without being detected by the superpower sensors inside, so she says that when she touches someone, she can read minds without the sensors detecting it. Carmine says that he had done his part and tells them that the main floor had standard superpower sensors and security, but Ghost says that the real problem are the underground rooms connected to the VIP rooms at the back. Forecast gets there late from taking a bath, as Gladiator joins them. Carmine tells them they would take The Bastards briefcase, which was actually a big vault on the inside. However, the real problem are all the sensors that can deactivate their powers. Carmine says that normally the unit is switched off, but if the sensors pick up a use of superpowers, then it turns on, so they need to deactivate the whole system. They want Ghost to use his powers in order to reach it, but he tells them that the island was huge, so he would lose track of where he was, so he would die. Gladiator tells them that they should just give up, but Johnny remembers that whenever a new supervillain has to be registered in the database, they update the software, but it also means the system must be rebooted, so they could destroy it then. Carmine tells them that they would split into two groups to enter the facility.

Carmine, Ghost, TK, Forecast, Johnny, the Diesel Brothers, and Kasey all toast. He thanks them and tells them that he liked that they had a sense of duty. Kasey wonders why Matts had made it so even he could not use his powers in his mansion, but Carmine knows that he hated superpowers. Johnny tells them that he had new outfits for their plan, which Gladiator refuses to wear.

Kasey sits alone at the beach, when Johnny joins her. Both of them walk together and Johnny asks if she would really leave, and she says that she would. He tells her that she had done a fantastic job and tells her that she could still do it, but she says that even though she had outgrown heists, she wanted to help The Heat. Johnny tells her that he knows he had done a lot of stupid things, but the stupidest of them all was letting her go. They look up at the sky and there is a banner which says "I'm sorry". Johnny tells her that he had finally understood and says that that would be the last time he ever did a heist. Both of them share a kiss after that.

As Johnny sleeps, Kasey looks at him and leaves. When she makes it to the airport, she tells Johnny that the plan was risky and she did not want to make the same mistake, hanging up on him.

Johnny, TK, Carmine, and Forecast accept that she had left them and agree that they would not use their powers. They plan to infiltrate the security room with the superpower suppression device, in order to force the unit to update. They make a small hole and make it underground, but an alarm starts to sound. They know that they cannnot use powers as many ninjas start heading towards them. Johnny accidentally uses his powers, which activates guns, so Carmine shoots them with his guns. Johnny starts an update, and realizes that they could now use their powers.

The Diesel Brothers, Gladiator, and Ghost climb the ravine and enter the facility via the jetty, later heading towards the backup data on the private server. Sammy mentions that he cannot see Praetorian or Matts anywhere. They start moving through a cave when they start getting shot at. The Diesel Brothers cover for Ghost as he starts to run. THey reach a large vault, which Ghost unlocks using his powers. As soon as he uses them, they are attacked by ninjas. Sammy tries to negotiate with them, but is shot at relentlessly. Roddy throws Ghost a flashdrive, which he plugs into the server. Sammy and Roddy take the ninjas down and realize they had nine minutes left.

Kasey asks how much longer her flight would be delayed, but is told that it was unkown. Praetorian approaches her and tells her to not move a muscle or she would burn. The Bastard reaches her and says that he was disappointed because she was only there to make him look like a fool.
