Okay, ready and one,
two, three...
Two more, one, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
And the legs!
One, two, three, four.
And, push harder.
Use the arms.
Work, work, be beautiful.
Excellent!
- Maybe we shouldn't have
called that ambulance for her.
- That's an un-nice thing to say
even if you don't mean it.
- Hey, you know,
the water is shallow enough
for you to come in and exercise
with us.
- The pain would be too much.
And you're stalling.
Get back into it.
Keep moving!
One, two...
- I'm gonna drown her.
- Joanna, you're faking it.
- I'm gonna help you.
- Let's go.
- I heard that.
- How could you?
We whispered.
- I can read lips.
- You know that's fair,
because you should at least
give us a chance
at a conspiracy.
- Oh, here comes
another drill sergeant.
- What was that about
a "dull servant"?
- I don't know, ask Nicole.
She reads lips.
- Can she do that in French?
Yes.
- We've got a job if we want it.
- I don't know, do we?
I haven't been back
inside the H.E.A.T. room
since the flight 401 deal.
- Unh!
- Your little assistant here
tried to send a signal for help.
You won't get one out,
so don't try it again.
Unh!
Bastard!
- Ahh!
- I take my time.
- Unh!
- I don't know if any of us
want to go back in there.
- There's nothing much left.
- There's not much
of anything left.
- Yeah, we'd need computers
to stay on top of this one too.
- We can always listen
to the offer.
- That's what I figured.
- So, the auto insurance
companies
got together
and formed this organization.
It's got a bunch of initials
for a name
and a hefty bankroll.
They want to recover
and stop the flow
of stolen cars
across the border.
Well, I'm their man,
and I need some help down here.
Ahh, the company pays on time,
their checks cash out okay.
I've been doing it for a year
and I already bought
18 acres in North Carolina.
What exactly is this?
- Either pork or chicken.
We never ask.
Now, what kind of crop
you puttin' down?
- Dogs. I'm gonna breed
golden retrievers.
- So, how you gonna do that?
- Well, you start out with two,
then sort of nature takes over
and you just keep count.
We know about that.
What about these cars?
- Oh, they're here.
They come in all the time,
either by boat or by truck.
Last shipment was overland,
about two weeks ago.
Solid information.
- Good.
Then get 'em.
Use the local cops,
they're good.
You don't need us.
- Well maybe not, but I want ya.
I need your local contacts,
your communication systems.
I want to link in to every
state motor vehicle bureau.
Now, I was told by someone
in Washington
that you people can do that.
- Oh... we used to
could have.
- Well, I reckon
we could give you
a neighborly foot up
if you was needin' it.
- We're not building
a barn here.
We've got bigger problems
than that.
- Don't we all, little lady,
don't we all.
I remember my Uncle Clement.
He had this little brouhaha...
I had one named Clement.
Something about that name
always brought a mess with it.
- Oh, right you are,
pretty lady.
- Okay.
Okay, we'll think about it.
- Well, I'd appreciate it
if you think hard
and answer quick.
Cars got wheels,
They move a lot quicker
than we can.
- I heard someone say that once.
- Another uncle, I'm sure.
- Eh, could've been a cousin.
- I have a lot of them.
- Yes, we know.
We'll think hard.
So, what are we gonna do?
- Maybe we've had enough.
- We sort of pushed
the envelope in the past.
Maybe it's time
to close the book
and move on to something else.
- No.
I did that before,
and I'm not too good at it.
- Then, you want
to stay in the business?
- It's not a business.
I mean,
if we're gonna discuss it,
let's be honest.
It's more than that.
It's a way of life.
- Then, is it a life
that we want to continue with?
- You want to hear what I have
to say?
- Uh, is it gonna be short?
- It's short.
Either I'm with you,
or I'm back to cornfields
and clog dancing.
I'm not ready for that.
- So, you want to stay?
- Not without the rest of you.
I don't want to leave
my family again.
- Just what I always wanted,
a genius sister.
- Hey, I never did.
- Tough.
You got one.
- Ooh.
- Then what am I, big mama?
- Nah, we found you
on the doorstep
and raised you
like one of our own.
- Yeah, you got that accent
from a cookbook
that was left in your crib.
- Mm.
- Well, like it or not,
we're gonna have to go back
into the H.E.A.T. room.
- Well, I've been there.
And?
- It ain't "perty."
I remember when I saw
the H.E.A.T. room
for the first time.
What a mess!
Then I made out with you.
It was better.
I'm Joanna.
I think I've got it all working.
We could bring it back.
- But, do we really want to?
- Hey, you're the one
who started
with that art masterpiece case.
I remember all the help
we got from the local police.
Unh!
- Hey, hey!
I mean... ya got me.
Can you fix it?
- No, it has to be replaced.
But we're not broken.
We can still work.
- We can't trace hot cars
without interfacing
the information bank.
- But we can still try
and find the cars, can't we?
And, the best way to find
a real bargain
in used cars is...
the local paper.
Anybody got two pesos
for a paper?
- Call it reinvestment.
- Call it two pesos
and let's see what happens.
This one...
is just for the money.
- And, we'll all be together
a little longer, won't we?
- Mm.
- Yes.
Makes me a little mad.
- What, grand larceny auto?
- No, every time Joanna proves
she is smarter than me.
- Just because she picked
the ad out in the paper
doesn't mean
she's smarter than you.
- No, Cat, Joanna is smarter
than me.
- Okay.
- Well, you didn't have to
agree so quickly.
- It's because
I know how you feel.
Sometimes I think she's smarter
than all of us.
- You mean about
keeping H.E.A.T. alive?
- That I'm not
so sure about yet.
Like I said, let's just look
at this case as extra cash
and leave it at that.
- That's pretty smart too.
- Yeah, yeah.
- A little conversation.
- Hey...
Makin' the deal.
- Nice to meet you.
- Yeah, you too.
That's the ones we want.
- Bye! See ya.
- See ya.
- Okay, they just sold a car
at 428 Via Marimba Street.
It's a trailer park.
They sold a black Buick sedan,
license plate
Hotel-Victor-Jackson 4-3-1-6.
We'll follow the sellers.
- We're on our way.
Are you sure you have
the thieves?
They're used car salesmen,
how honest can they be?
- Yeah, you got a point.
- Yeah, seems like
we've done this before.
Oh, yeah.
Remember when we were protecting
my dream girl?
Run, now!
Aah!
Ahh!
- Tommy?
- Tommy!
Tommy, look out for the truck!
Okay, now I know where they are.
Just have to make sure
that they sold a hot car.
That's the car Cat described.
- We have to verify
its registration numbers.
- Well, can't just go over
and lift up the hood.
- We can wait 'til
they go inside the house.
- Okay, probably will take it
with them to bed.
Hmm...
we only want to look
at the vehicle identification
number.
Maybe they won't mind that.
- What do you really think?
- No.
- "No" is a good, short,
positive answer.
- We are gonna take
some more pictures.
Let's go.
Oh, Alice, look it, look it!
Did you ever?
My daddy had a car
just like this.
But not quite as pretty.
He'd load all us kids
in the car and take us
to the river fishin'
and swimmin'.
Not at the same time, mind you,
but it was a great ol' time!
Here, take a picture of me.
I want to send it home.
You don't mind, now, do you?
I guess not.
- Ta-daa!
We used to pull them buddies up,
fire 'em up along with
Brady Landers' fresh corn bread.
It was a day!
My, oh, my!
A V-8 with a four-barrel piston?
And a custom chrome air filter!
You got it all!
Smile!
Thank you, now!
- No problem.
- What was that all about?
We taught you too well.
- Oh, I could always do that.
The boys just love it
when you start their car.
- Does that have
a double meaning?
- What do you mean?
- Never mind,
you just answered it.
What about the car?
- The vehicle identification
number plate
on the dashboard
looks newer than the car.
The engine plate number
is missing.
That is a car
with a bad history.
- Thank you.
- For what?
- Well, I speak French,
Italian, and English,
and some Spanish, and you just
taught me a new language.
Well, you come back for a lesson
any ol' time you want now,
you hear?
- Finster's checking it out.
He believes it was part of
an overland shipment
from two weeks ago
because there was
a Buick sedan on that trip.
But, he'll let us know.
- Yeah.
We had the H.E.A.T. room,
we'd have the answer in minutes.
- Right.
- Don't start!
This was just supposed to be
a job to get some cash flow
going, remember?
I didn't say anything.
- No, but see, you say more
without saying anything
than anyone I have ever known.
- But you like it, don't you?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I guess I do.
Mostly, though... I'm really
starting to appreciate it.
Remember the first time
you ever held a gun?
- I don't know what to do
with that.
- Flip this off...
point away from yourself...
pull this, and yell.
- Why should I yell?
- Because the noise will scare
the blazes out of you.
- Ahh!
How about the first time
you actually shot someone?
Aah!
- Miss any of 'em?
All present and accounted for.
- That's a nice way to put it,
but I just shot someone.
- And we're glad you did.
You know,
I think I liked you better
as a straight man.
- What do you mean?
- That's better already.
You started out a rookie
who couldn't fire a gun,
and turned into
one hell of a peace warrior.
Thanks, Tommy.
But I got tricked
a couple of times
and made a fool out of myself.
Like with McHenry.
- Don't let that bother you.
I'm the expert on bad choices.
Hmm, remember Richard?
- You know,
when we have children
and we have to be on time,
pick them up from school,
take them to the doctor's
and dentist...
- I'm sorry.
- Soccer, gymnastics.
I'm sorry.
You know,
but sometimes that boutique
is like a runaway train.
- I thought you skirted
the children issue very nicely.
- That's a little premature.
- Not for me.
- We've only known each other
two weeks.
- I've known you... in a hundred
different lifetimes.
- Oh, we must have been
Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire.
- No, we were probably
wrapping bodies in Egypt.
- Oh, what a ghastly thought.
- Bodies are important.
It's a highly thought-of
position,
as lowly positions go.
- Well, speaking of positions,
how about we take a seated one?
I've been on my feet all day.
- You know, we have options
besides sitting.
- You are as much a runaway
train as that boutique.
- And you love it.
- I'm afraid I'm starting to.
We all have feelings.
And we're all vulnerable
from time to time.
It's human.
It's part of us.
- It could all be ours.
- I need for the father
of my children to have honor.
Getting hurt is not exclusive,
and it doesn't make us fools.
Just a little stupid
on occasion.
- What, is it, like, my turn
to confess or something?
Mm-hmm.
Ah!
I'll get it, I'll get it.
Yeah?
Got it.
Thanks.
Well, it's a go.
The Buick was part of
the shipment, and a little more.
When the car was snatched,
the owner was killed.
- Oh.
- Huh?
- Wow.
- Yeah.
Hey, don't go away.
The H.E.A.T. team will be back
in a moment.
Okay, they stashed the rest
of the cars.
You know, we can't just walk in
and check it out.
- Well, the beauty
about front entrances,
there has to be a rear one.
- That sounded almost,
uh, profound.
You in the mood
for climbing walls?
- No.
- Well, you in the mood
for waiting tables
from 9:00 to 5:00?
No.
I get the message.
- All right.
Look at it.
It's a regular dealership.
- Yeah, with almost no overhead.
Hey, maybe it's
a business we should get into.
- Yeah, well, they already are.
All we've got to do is document
one of those cars,
get the cops to do the rest.
- Just one?
- Well, two would be better.
- Settle for one?
- Deal.
- Deal.
Okay, how we gonna do this?
- Uh... sneaky?
- Yeah, we're good at that.
I'll move, you cover.
- Right.
Miguel, give me the pressure.
All right.
Here you go.
Now, where's the manifold?
Oh, right there.
Hey! Hey!
Get her, get her!
Hey, go get her!
Stop!
Stop her!
Hey!
Hey!
Whoo-hoo!
Come back here!
- What did you want
with a distributor cap?
- Huh?
Oh, is that what that is?
I just grabbed it
so they would think
that we were petty thieves.
- We can't prove anything
with this.
- Ah... but I also have this.
- Yeah, now we're in business.
Seems like I've been
getting chased my whole life.
But so far,
I've always gotten away.
What are you doing?
- Take a look,
we've got company.
There's a gun under my seat.
Get it.
- But, Cat...
- Get it!
Okay.
Hang on!
- Unh!
Oh! Cat!
Come on!
Go, go!
- Oh... this way!
Huh?
These are real good.
This car could be connected
to the last shipment.
It's like we figured.
They're sitting
like fish in a barrel now.
- Well... let's pack 'em up
and pay our fee.
- I have to recover
the cars first.
It takes a little time
to get the locals to cooperate,
then organize the crash
and all the paperwork
on the seizing of the property,
and returning it
over the border.
- Well, listen to you.
You sounding all city-educated,
using your nouns and verbs
in all the right places.
You ain't sounding
down-home no more.
What happened to that
sweet Southern drawl of yours?
I've still got it sitting here
and waiting.
- Where are you really from?
- Where I said.
The drawl is mine.
It's real.
Sits in the back of my head.
Took me years to lose it.
Only took Joanna five minutes
to bring it all back.
Something about you
does that to me.
- He's good.
- She'll have more fun
if he's bad.
- Oh, they're all bad.
He's just good at it.
Eh, but I like him.
Oh, there's a right
pretty little thing.
All lumped out and shapely,
and struttin' nice like.
Makes a man just want
to never settle down,
just go runnin' about
and wearing out his eyes.
Hmm.
- That's good.
That's as good as it gets.
Too bad I'm not ready
for some down-home puppy love.
I guess I'll always remember
puppy love.
- Then after I left the army,
I drifted a little.
Asia, Europe.
Then I applied to the D.E.A.
How about you?
How did you get here?
- Hmm... long story.
- I got time.
- Hello?
Hi, Tommy.
Okay.
I'll talk to you later.
- Is everything okay?
- Oh, he's fine.
I kind of wish I was out there
with him, though.
- No one offended you?
- Oh, no.
I mean... I never get to do
the really exciting things.
- It's a matter of experience.
The others have a lot more of it
than you, don't they?
- Yeah, but...
- There's another reason
why you're here.
- What's that?
- I requested it.
Look, it's just,
we never thought
we'd be involved
in the final raid.
All right, it just...
It could be dangerous.
- Danger is what you do,
isn't it?
- Not really sure anymore.
- There's too much distance
between the front gate
and the garage for us to make it
without them being warned.
We're gonna have to
crash in and take our chances.
- We know.
We just don't have to like it.
- We have the back covered.
Hopefully,
they'll run towards them.
- They won't.
- How can you be so sure?
- Too easy.
- You people are cynics.
- I wasn't.
Not until you pulled
your phony drawl.
- Yeah, I owe you an apology.
I kind of like
the way I found you.
- Let's go.
It's getting thick out here.
- All right.
Ride 'em, cowboy.
Stay tuned, the H.E.A.T. team
will be right back.
I said I wanted
this car today, not tomorrow!
What's wrong with you guys?
- Hey, hey, hey, hey!
You can't do that!
Hey, somebody's coming!
Hey!
Come on, move it!
Put the weapons down.
Come on!
- Hands up! Hands up, hands up.
- Cover 'em, cover 'em!
- Back up, now.
- You, over here.
- Get their weapons.
- Move it.
- Come on, quickly.
- Stay put. Stay put!
And turn around.
- Sheesh.
Yeah...
Bobby Minh and I got into
a real drag-down fight once too.
I'm glad you made it.
Are any of my people
still alive?
- Still looking for Brill.
- Just him?
- Oh, and the girl.
- What do you think
of me, Tommy?
Do you have an opinion?
I'd really like to know.
- Oh, yeah.
- What is it?
- You're one sick puppy, man.
- You think I have a death wish?
- Yeah.
- Do you have one?
- Nope.
- Where did you learn
your craft?
- Which one?
- The one you're practicing now.
- Oh, here and there.
- Well, are you familiar... Ahh!
- You know...
you talk too much.
- Unh!
Whew!
Ahh!
- Unh!
- Hey, can we have
our money now?
I'd be afraid not to.
- And we'd like one more thing.
- Oh, what's that,
little sister?
- We'd like to get driven home
in that limo.
I'd be right privileged
to do it myself.
- Mm!
- Now, that is something
you had to have taught her.
- It was pure instinct.
No amount of training
could perfect that.
- You know, our Joanna
has developed a, uh, style.
- You comin' or not?
- No.
- Nah.
- I will.
- Ahh.
Home, James.
- Whoo-hoo!
- This is fun!
Oh, no!
- Is something wrong?
- Worse than wrong.
- Wha... Like what?
- This spear is a fake.
- Impossible.
The crate came
right from the ship.
It looks perfect.
- I don't care.
I looked up the history
of the spear on my computer,
and...
and...
- Right!
Nice try, Joanna.
- Congratulations,
you really had us going there.
I did, didn't I?
Ah, the spear,
it's beautiful, isn't it?
- If you're into spears, it is.
But for scaring me,
I am deducting your share
from our fee.
- Hey, no fair!
I was kidding.
- I'm not.
Get her money.
I need to fix my truck.
- Junk it, that's the fix.
- I know how to make it
run better.
And, it won't cost you a dime.
- How?
- First, remove the floorboard.
- What?
- So your legs and feet
can touch the ground.
- My legs and...
- Yeah.
- You know,
like the Flintstones.
Yabba-dabba-doo!
- You're not serious!
Oh!
Oops!
- Sorry!
- Sorry!
- Hi.
My name is Nicole Bernard.
I know who you are.
I am here to offer you
the kind of work
you are far better suited for.
- Well, that's a pretty strong
approach.
And what is it
you think I'm better suited for?
- A great many things.
- Ahh! Unh!
- Oh... Oh!
What's their problem?
- I can't see their problem.
- Whoa, get down!
- Brakes!
- Oh!
- Who do you think they are?
- I don't know!
Get down!
- Aah!
Ahh!
- Oh!
Next shot, you're a soprano!
So, what do you think, Nicole?
The team stays together?
- Oh!
- Ooh!
All right.
Tommy?
- Ah...
All right.
- I love you guys.
And I'm too young
to get a divorce.
- All right, then,
I won't call my lawyer.
- Thank God we don't have kids.
- Who snore.
Do not.
- "Acapulco H.E.A.T."
- will be right back.
Hey, can I paint too?
- Yeah, I don't paint.
But, I'll do windows.
- Tommy will do the heavy work.
Says who?
We do!
- Bye!
"Acapulco H.E.A.T."...
- Ta-daa!
Hey! What are you doing?
Hey, stop her!
- Unh!
- ♪ Oh, can you feel it?
♪ Burn inside
♪ Yeah
♪ Making me hazy
♪ Making me crazy
♪ Out on the street
♪ I feel the heat
♪ Deep in the darkest night
♪ I feel the motion
♪ Keep all my love alive
♪ Come to the ocean
♪ Out on the street
♪ I feel the heat
Okay, ready and one,
two, three...
Two more, one, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
And the legs!
One, two, three, four.
And, push harder.
Use the arms.
Work, work, be beautiful.
Excellent!
- Maybe we shouldn't have
called that ambulance for her.
- That's an un-nice thing to say
even if you don't mean it.
- Hey, you know,
the water is shallow enough
for you to come in and exercise
with us.
- The pain would be too much.
And you're stalling.
Get back into it.
Keep moving!
One, two...
- I'm gonna drown her.
- Joanna, you're faking it.
- I'm gonna help you.
- Let's go.
- I heard that.
- How could you?
We whispered.
- I can read lips.
- You know that's fair,
because you should at least
give us a chance
at a conspiracy.
- Oh, here comes
another drill sergeant.
- What was that about
a "dull servant"?
- I don't know, ask Nicole.
She reads lips.
- Can she do that in French?
Yes.
- We've got a job if we want it.
- I don't know, do we?
I haven't been back
inside the H.E.A.T. room
since the flight 401 deal.
- Unh!
- Your little assistant here
tried to send a signal for help.
You won't get one out,
so don't try it again.
Unh!
Bastard!
- Ahh!
- I take my time.
- Unh!
- I don't know if any of us
want to go back in there.
- There's nothing much left.
- There's not much
of anything left.
- Yeah, we'd need computers
to stay on top of this one too.
- We can always listen
to the offer.
- That's what I figured.
- So, the auto insurance
companies
got together
and formed this organization.
It's got a bunch of initials
for a name
and a hefty bankroll.
They want to recover
and stop the flow
of stolen cars
across the border.
Well, I'm their man,
and I need some help down here.
Ahh, the company pays on time,
their checks cash out okay.
I've been doing it for a year
and I already bought
18 acres in North Carolina.
What exactly is this?
- Either pork or chicken.
We never ask.
Now, what kind of crop
you puttin' down?
- Dogs. I'm gonna breed
golden retrievers.
- So, how you gonna do that?
- Well, you start out with two,
then sort of nature takes over
and you just keep count.
We know about that.
What about these cars?
- Oh, they're here.
They come in all the time,
either by boat or by truck.
Last shipment was overland,
about two weeks ago.
Solid information.
- Good.
Then get 'em.
Use the local cops,
they're good.
You don't need us.
- Well maybe not, but I want ya.
I need your local contacts,
your communication systems.
I want to link in to every
state motor vehicle bureau.
Now, I was told by someone
in Washington
that you people can do that.
- Oh... we used to
could have.
- Well, I reckon
we could give you
a neighborly foot up
if you was needin' it.
- We're not building
a barn here.
We've got bigger problems
than that.
- Don't we all, little lady,
don't we all.
I remember my Uncle Clement.
He had this little brouhaha...
I had one named Clement.
Something about that name
always brought a mess with it.
- Oh, right you are,
pretty lady.
- Okay.
Okay, we'll think about it.
- Well, I'd appreciate it
if you think hard
and answer quick.
Cars got wheels,
They move a lot quicker
than we can.
- I heard someone say that once.
- Another uncle, I'm sure.
- Eh, could've been a cousin.
- I have a lot of them.
- Yes, we know.
We'll think hard.
So, what are we gonna do?
- Maybe we've had enough.
- We sort of pushed
the envelope in the past.
Maybe it's time
to close the book
and move on to something else.
- No.
I did that before,
and I'm not too good at it.
- Then, you want
to stay in the business?
- It's not a business.
I mean,
if we're gonna discuss it,
let's be honest.
It's more than that.
It's a way of life.
- Then, is it a life
that we want to continue with?
- You want to hear what I have
to say?
- Uh, is it gonna be short?
- It's short.
Either I'm with you,
or I'm back to cornfields
and clog dancing.
I'm not ready for that.
- So, you want to stay?
- Not without the rest of you.
I don't want to leave
my family again.
- Just what I always wanted,
a genius sister.
- Hey, I never did.
- Tough.
You got one.
- Ooh.
- Then what am I, big mama?
- Nah, we found you
on the doorstep
and raised you
like one of our own.
- Yeah, you got that accent
from a cookbook
that was left in your crib.
- Mm.
- Well, like it or not,
we're gonna have to go back
into the H.E.A.T. room.
- Well, I've been there.
And?
- It ain't "perty."
I remember when I saw
the H.E.A.T. room
for the first time.
What a mess!
Then I made out with you.
It was better.
I'm Joanna.
I think I've got it all working.
We could bring it back.
- But, do we really want to?
- Hey, you're the one
who started
with that art masterpiece case.
I remember all the help
we got from the local police.
Unh!
- Hey, hey!
I mean... ya got me.
Can you fix it?
- No, it has to be replaced.
But we're not broken.
We can still work.
- We can't trace hot cars
without interfacing
the information bank.
- But we can still try
and find the cars, can't we?
And, the best way to find
a real bargain
in used cars is...
the local paper.
Anybody got two pesos
for a paper?
- Call it reinvestment.
- Call it two pesos
and let's see what happens.
This one...
is just for the money.
- And, we'll all be together
a little longer, won't we?
- Mm.
- Yes.
Makes me a little mad.
- What, grand larceny auto?
- No, every time Joanna proves
she is smarter than me.
- Just because she picked
the ad out in the paper
doesn't mean
she's smarter than you.
- No, Cat, Joanna is smarter
than me.
- Okay.
- Well, you didn't have to
agree so quickly.
- It's because
I know how you feel.
Sometimes I think she's smarter
than all of us.
- You mean about
keeping H.E.A.T. alive?
- That I'm not
so sure about yet.
Like I said, let's just look
at this case as extra cash
and leave it at that.
- That's pretty smart too.
- Yeah, yeah.
- A little conversation.
- Hey...
Makin' the deal.
- Nice to meet you.
- Yeah, you too.
That's the ones we want.
- Bye! See ya.
- See ya.
- Okay, they just sold a car
at 428 Via Marimba Street.
It's a trailer park.
They sold a black Buick sedan,
license plate
Hotel-Victor-Jackson 4-3-1-6.
We'll follow the sellers.
- We're on our way.
Are you sure you have
the thieves?
They're used car salesmen,
how honest can they be?
- Yeah, you got a point.
- Yeah, seems like
we've done this before.
Oh, yeah.
Remember when we were protecting
my dream girl?
Run, now!
Aah!
Ahh!
- Tommy?
- Tommy!
Tommy, look out for the truck!
Okay, now I know where they are.
Just have to make sure
that they sold a hot car.
That's the car Cat described.
- We have to verify
its registration numbers.
- Well, can't just go over
and lift up the hood.
- We can wait 'til
they go inside the house.
- Okay, probably will take it
with them to bed.
Hmm...
we only want to look
at the vehicle identification
number.
Maybe they won't mind that.
- What do you really think?
- No.
- "No" is a good, short,
positive answer.
- We are gonna take
some more pictures.
Let's go.
Oh, Alice, look it, look it!
Did you ever?
My daddy had a car
just like this.
But not quite as pretty.
He'd load all us kids
in the car and take us
to the river fishin'
and swimmin'.
Not at the same time, mind you,
but it was a great ol' time!
Here, take a picture of me.
I want to send it home.
You don't mind, now, do you?
I guess not.
- Ta-daa!
We used to pull them buddies up,
fire 'em up along with
Brady Landers' fresh corn bread.
It was a day!
My, oh, my!
A V-8 with a four-barrel piston?
And a custom chrome air filter!
You got it all!
Smile!
Thank you, now!
- No problem.
- What was that all about?
We taught you too well.
- Oh, I could always do that.
The boys just love it
when you start their car.
- Does that have
a double meaning?
- What do you mean?
- Never mind,
you just answered it.
What about the car?
- The vehicle identification
number plate
on the dashboard
looks newer than the car.
The engine plate number
is missing.
That is a car
with a bad history.
- Thank you.
- For what?
- Well, I speak French,
Italian, and English,
and some Spanish, and you just
taught me a new language.
Well, you come back for a lesson
any ol' time you want now,
you hear?
- Finster's checking it out.
He believes it was part of
an overland shipment
from two weeks ago
because there was
a Buick sedan on that trip.
But, he'll let us know.
- Yeah.
We had the H.E.A.T. room,
we'd have the answer in minutes.
- Right.
- Don't start!
This was just supposed to be
a job to get some cash flow
going, remember?
I didn't say anything.
- No, but see, you say more
without saying anything
than anyone I have ever known.
- But you like it, don't you?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I guess I do.
Mostly, though... I'm really
starting to appreciate it.
Remember the first time
you ever held a gun?
- I don't know what to do
with that.
- Flip this off...
point away from yourself...
pull this, and yell.
- Why should I yell?
- Because the noise will scare
the blazes out of you.
- Ahh!
How about the first time
you actually shot someone?
Aah!
- Miss any of 'em?
All present and accounted for.
- That's a nice way to put it,
but I just shot someone.
- And we're glad you did.
You know,
I think I liked you better
as a straight man.
- What do you mean?
- That's better already.
You started out a rookie
who couldn't fire a gun,
and turned into
one hell of a peace warrior.
Thanks, Tommy.
But I got tricked
a couple of times
and made a fool out of myself.
Like with McHenry.
- Don't let that bother you.
I'm the expert on bad choices.
Hmm, remember Richard?
- You know,
when we have children
and we have to be on time,
pick them up from school,
take them to the doctor's
and dentist...
- I'm sorry.
- Soccer, gymnastics.
I'm sorry.
You know,
but sometimes that boutique
is like a runaway train.
- I thought you skirted
the children issue very nicely.
- That's a little premature.
- Not for me.
- We've only known each other
two weeks.
- I've known you... in a hundred
different lifetimes.
- Oh, we must have been
Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire.
- No, we were probably
wrapping bodies in Egypt.
- Oh, what a ghastly thought.
- Bodies are important.
It's a highly thought-of
position,
as lowly positions go.
- Well, speaking of positions,
how about we take a seated one?
I've been on my feet all day.
- You know, we have options
besides sitting.
- You are as much a runaway
train as that boutique.
- And you love it.
- I'm afraid I'm starting to.
We all have feelings.
And we're all vulnerable
from time to time.
It's human.
It's part of us.
- It could all be ours.
- I need for the father
of my children to have honor.
Getting hurt is not exclusive,
and it doesn't make us fools.
Just a little stupid
on occasion.
- What, is it, like, my turn
to confess or something?
Mm-hmm.
Ah!
I'll get it, I'll get it.
Yeah?
Got it.
Thanks.
Well, it's a go.
The Buick was part of
the shipment, and a little more.
When the car was snatched,
the owner was killed.
- Oh.
- Huh?
- Wow.
- Yeah.
Hey, don't go away.
The H.E.A.T. team will be back
in a moment.
Okay, they stashed the rest
of the cars.
You know, we can't just walk in
and check it out.
- Well, the beauty
about front entrances,
there has to be a rear one.
- That sounded almost,
uh, profound.
You in the mood
for climbing walls?
- No.
- Well, you in the mood
for waiting tables
from 9:00 to 5:00?
No.
I get the message.
- All right.
Look at it.
It's a regular dealership.
- Yeah, with almost no overhead.
Hey, maybe it's
a business we should get into.
- Yeah, well, they already are.
All we've got to do is document
one of those cars,
get the cops to do the rest.
- Just one?
- Well, two would be better.
- Settle for one?
- Deal.
- Deal.
Okay, how we gonna do this?
- Uh... sneaky?
- Yeah, we're good at that.
I'll move, you cover.
- Right.
Miguel, give me the pressure.
All right.
Here you go.
Now, where's the manifold?
Oh, right there.
Hey! Hey!
Get her, get her!
Hey, go get her!
Stop!
Stop her!
Hey!
Hey!
Whoo-hoo!
Come back here!
- What did you want
with a distributor cap?
- Huh?
Oh, is that what that is?
I just grabbed it
so they would think
that we were petty thieves.
- We can't prove anything
with this.
- Ah... but I also have this.
- Yeah, now we're in business.
Seems like I've been
getting chased my whole life.
But so far,
I've always gotten away.
What are you doing?
- Take a look,
we've got company.
There's a gun under my seat.
Get it.
- But, Cat...
- Get it!
Okay.
Hang on!
- Unh!
Oh! Cat!
Come on!
Go, go!
- Oh... this way!
Huh?
These are real good.
This car could be connected
to the last shipment.
It's like we figured.
They're sitting
like fish in a barrel now.
- Well... let's pack 'em up
and pay our fee.
- I have to recover
the cars first.
It takes a little time
to get the locals to cooperate,
then organize the crash
and all the paperwork
on the seizing of the property,
and returning it
over the border.
- Well, listen to you.
You sounding all city-educated,
using your nouns and verbs
in all the right places.
You ain't sounding
down-home no more.
What happened to that
sweet Southern drawl of yours?
I've still got it sitting here
and waiting.
- Where are you really from?
- Where I said.
The drawl is mine.
It's real.
Sits in the back of my head.
Took me years to lose it.
Only took Joanna five minutes
to bring it all back.
Something about you
does that to me.
- He's good.
- She'll have more fun
if he's bad.
- Oh, they're all bad.
He's just good at it.
Eh, but I like him.
Oh, there's a right
pretty little thing.
All lumped out and shapely,
and struttin' nice like.
Makes a man just want
to never settle down,
just go runnin' about
and wearing out his eyes.
Hmm.
- That's good.
That's as good as it gets.
Too bad I'm not ready
for some down-home puppy love.
I guess I'll always remember
puppy love.
- Then after I left the army,
I drifted a little.
Asia, Europe.
Then I applied to the D.E.A.
How about you?
How did you get here?
- Hmm... long story.
- I got time.
- Hello?
Hi, Tommy.
Okay.
I'll talk to you later.
- Is everything okay?
- Oh, he's fine.
I kind of wish I was out there
with him, though.
- No one offended you?
- Oh, no.
I mean... I never get to do
the really exciting things.
- It's a matter of experience.
The others have a lot more of it
than you, don't they?
- Yeah, but...
- There's another reason
why you're here.
- What's that?
- I requested it.
Look, it's just,
we never thought
we'd be involved
in the final raid.
All right, it just...
It could be dangerous.
- Danger is what you do,
isn't it?
- Not really sure anymore.
- There's too much distance
between the front gate
and the garage for us to make it
without them being warned.
We're gonna have to
crash in and take our chances.
- We know.
We just don't have to like it.
- We have the back covered.
Hopefully,
they'll run towards them.
- They won't.
- How can you be so sure?
- Too easy.
- You people are cynics.
- I wasn't.
Not until you pulled
your phony drawl.
- Yeah, I owe you an apology.
I kind of like
the way I found you.
- Let's go.
It's getting thick out here.
- All right.
Ride 'em, cowboy.
Stay tuned, the H.E.A.T. team
will be right back.
I said I wanted
this car today, not tomorrow!
What's wrong with you guys?
- Hey, hey, hey, hey!
You can't do that!
Hey, somebody's coming!
Hey!
Come on, move it!
Put the weapons down.
Come on!
- Hands up! Hands up, hands up.
- Cover 'em, cover 'em!
- Back up, now.
- You, over here.
- Get their weapons.
- Move it.
- Come on, quickly.
- Stay put. Stay put!
And turn around.
- Sheesh.
Yeah...
Bobby Minh and I got into
a real drag-down fight once too.
I'm glad you made it.
Are any of my people
still alive?
- Still looking for Brill.
- Just him?
- Oh, and the girl.
- What do you think
of me, Tommy?
Do you have an opinion?
I'd really like to know.
- Oh, yeah.
- What is it?
- You're one sick puppy, man.
- You think I have a death wish?
- Yeah.
- Do you have one?
- Nope.
- Where did you learn
your craft?
- Which one?
- The one you're practicing now.
- Oh, here and there.
- Well, are you familiar... Ahh!
- You know...
you talk too much.
- Unh!
Whew!
Ahh!
- Unh!
- Hey, can we have
our money now?
I'd be afraid not to.
- And we'd like one more thing.
- Oh, what's that,
little sister?
- We'd like to get driven home
in that limo.
I'd be right privileged
to do it myself.
- Mm!
- Now, that is something
you had to have taught her.
- It was pure instinct.
No amount of training
could perfect that.
- You know, our Joanna
has developed a, uh, style.
- You comin' or not?
- No.
- Nah.
- I will.
- Ahh.
Home, James.
- Whoo-hoo!
- This is fun!
Oh, no!
- Is something wrong?
- Worse than wrong.
- Wha... Like what?
- This spear is a fake.
- Impossible.
The crate came
right from the ship.
It looks perfect.
- I don't care.
I looked up the history
of the spear on my computer,
and...
and...
- Right!
Nice try, Joanna.
- Congratulations,
you really had us going there.
I did, didn't I?
Ah, the spear,
it's beautiful, isn't it?
- If you're into spears, it is.
But for scaring me,
I am deducting your share
from our fee.
- Hey, no fair!
I was kidding.
- I'm not.
Get her money.
I need to fix my truck.
- Junk it, that's the fix.
- I know how to make it
run better.
And, it won't cost you a dime.
- How?
- First, remove the floorboard.
- What?
- So your legs and feet
can touch the ground.
- My legs and...
- Yeah.
- You know,
like the Flintstones.
Yabba-dabba-doo!
- You're not serious!
Oh!
Oops!
- Sorry!
- Sorry!
- Hi.
My name is Nicole Bernard.
I know who you are.
I am here to offer you
the kind of work
you are far better suited for.
- Well, that's a pretty strong
approach.
And what is it
you think I'm better suited for?
- A great many things.
- Ahh! Unh!
- Oh... Oh!
What's their problem?
- I can't see their problem.
- Whoa, get down!
- Brakes!
- Oh!
- Who do you think they are?
- I don't know!
Get down!
- Aah!
Ahh!
- Oh!
Next shot, you're a soprano!
So, what do you think, Nicole?
The team stays together?
- Oh!
- Ooh!
All right.
Tommy?
- Ah...
All right.
- I love you guys.
And I'm too young
to get a divorce.
- All right, then,
I won't call my lawyer.
- Thank God we don't have kids.
- Who snore.
Do not.
- "Acapulco H.E.A.T."
- will be right back.
Hey, can I paint too?
- Yeah, I don't paint.
But, I'll do windows.
- Tommy will do the heavy work.
Says who?
We do!
- Bye!
