(MultiCom Jingle)
- Let's play cards.
- Oh, yeah.
- Okay, dealer bets.
- Three.
- Okay, I'll do it three
and I'll see you six.
Daddy needs a new pair of shoes.
- Alright, I'm in.
- Food
- Hey Jeff, here are
your garlic sticks.
- Oh, here's to mother
nature's perfect food.
- Hey guys, look, a bonus.
- Awesome promotion.
- Give it, that's a
seriously expensive watch.
(fast paced rock music)
(gunshot)
- [Dick] Dad?
- [Tracy] But, you're dead.
- Hardly, someone
tried to kill me.
- Hey, I'm Dick Daring.
- Tracy Grace.
- I want you and Tracy
to take over my agency
and run Daring Investigators.
(fast paced rock music)
(screams)
(typing)
- What do you know, boy toys.
- Definitely not my kinda stuff.
There's no electronic
sets, no model kits.
- Click on the stuffed rabbit.
He was my favorite, okay?
(laughs)
(mouse clicks)
- A series of robberies
has hit the Rockwater area.
Jewelry and precious
gems are the targets.
We've been retained by the
Rockwater Retailers Association
to find out who's
behind the robberies
and how the goods are being
sold on the black market.
- How much merchandise
is involved?
- Over half a million
dollars so far.
These are pros, so
watch your backs.
(beeps)
(rock music)
- Here you go, sir.
- Why give them to me?
- Because you asked for them.
- Bullock, do you really think
I have the time to go through
each and every file of
each and every known
jewelry thief and
black marketeer?
- Uh, no, sir.
- Exactly.
Research is your job,
management is mine.
- Yes, sir.
- Hey.
- Hey
- Working hard on the case?
- Working hard on the homework.
The evil history, ugh.
- Could be worse,
quadratic equations.
- I'll go get us some coffee.
- Good idea.
- You got a problem?
- Just digging your watch.
- Solid gold, diamond encrusted.
- So, where'd you get it?
- Um, my dad gave it
to me, for my birthday.
- Nice dad.
Seriously, where'd you get it?
- I told you, I
got it from my dad.
- Thanks.
- That guy, he's got a
watch exactly matching
the one in dad's case file.
- He could never afford that.
- Exactly.
So, I asked him where he got it
but, he isn't talking.
Where you going?
(rock music)
- [ Bobby] How long
has Dick been in there?
- I don't know,
about 10 minutes but,
I hope he had more
luck than we did.
(horn honks)
Did you see anything?
- Nothing, just a pizza joint.
(dramatic music)
- Now that's service.
(tires screeching)
(engine revving)
Thanks.
- So, we agree this
joint's worth checking out?
- I'm in.
- Sorry, bro, dad said
these guys are pros.
I'll go undercover.
- I'll go undercover.
Excuse me?
- Well this could be dangerous.
- So?
- Tracy, in this circumstance
would be best if a guy did this.
- Oh, right, same guy who
couldn't get an
answer out of Jeff?
(soft rock music)
- Hi, good lookin'.
What can I get you?
- Um, well, I was
lookin' for work.
- Yeah?
What king of experience you got?
- Well, I cook some.
(laughs)
- So do a lot of folks.
Listen sweetheart--
- It's Angela.
- Okay, Angela, you
take it from me, Murray,
you're far too pretty
for a place like this.
(sighs)
- Oh, so, that's how
it is eh, Murray?
What, girl can't get a
decent job these days?
You think its easy with
a face like this, huh?
Guys hitting on
you all the time.
I don't even have two lousy
nickels to rub together.
It's war out there, Murray.
Everybody's out for number one.
Nobody cares anymore.
My dad, he cared, until they
sent him up for three years.
- Your old man did time?
- It's a sad story, Murray.
- Listen kid, tell
you what I'm gonna do,
I'm gonna give you a shot.
You start right now.
- You're alright.
(slow rock music)
- So where'd your
old man do time?
- Rock.
- Alcatraz?
- No, rock bottom
municipal jail.
(laughs)
(coughs)
- You're late.
He's in the car
waiting for his pizza.
- [Murray] Sure.
- I'll do it.
(slow rock music)
- Your getting a job
has its advantages.
- Yeah well, two
other shifty types
showed up while I was at work.
Murray delivered their pizza
before they even
got in the door.
- I suggest we set up
a DVT across the street
and see who shows up.
- I suggest that next time,
we add black olives
and pineapple.
(scoffs)
- I just spoke to the Rockwater
Retailers Association,
they support our efforts 100%.
That's my report, what's yours?
- Well, I checked through all
those files, like you told me,
- Yeah, yeah.
- Crosschecked every detail
with every other detail
against a reconstructed
crime grid,
- Yeah, yeah.
- Extrapolated all the basic
information from 2000 files
and plotted them against
a precise chronology.
- And?
- I'm still not done.
That's my report.
(electronic beeping)
(whirring)
- BYM-713.
(typing)
(Whirring)
Cute.
- Warning!
Aunt Claire.
Switching to alternate mode.
- So, any email for me?
- Check the box.
- It's from the nice one.
- Let's hear it for
internet dating!
- I see no need to
wait any longer,
I think it's time
we actually met.
He's gotta be kidding.
- Go ahead, tell the dude yes.
- Well, we've exchanged
a half dozen emails.
You don't think
it's rushing things?
Tell him, yes.
(humming)
(sighs)
- Alright, back to
the license plates.
(upbeat, drum thumping beat)
- Hey, Angela?
You can go now,
we're closing early.
- Thanks, Murray.
- Uh, I'd like to order a pizza.
- I'm closed.
- Come on, just one slice.
- Sorry.
- Um, you ever thought of
rolling Murray's
out as a franchise?
- What?
- Well, you know,
one store becomes 50,
an investment of 50 thousand
becomes five million.
- You can do that?
- Yeah, it's simple.
Let me explain.
(intense music)
- So, say some guy wants to
open a Murray's pizza, right?
You become the franchiser
and he becomes the
franchisee, got it?
- Yeah, so then what?
- Now, the franchisee
gets a license from you,
the franchiser, who in
turn holds the trademarks
license to it, at arms
length by third party.
- [Murray] Right, yeah.
- Now, if the franchisee
fails, for any reason,
to live up to the expectations
or you the franchiser,
then the franchisee
is held accountable
to the third party trademark
holder, which protects you.
Got it?
- I'll tell you what I got,
I got you wasting my time.
Now, get outta here!
(intense music)
(sighs)
- [Dick] Where is she,
why hasn't she called?
- Her DVT's activated, so
that's not the problem.
- What strength?
- Normal levels
- Well boost it, all the way.
- Why?
- Maybe something's
blocking the signal.
(typing)
(static)
- Bobby!
Look, is anyone there?
- Tracy, where are you?
- I'm locked in the storage
room at Murray's Pizza.
- Well, we'll call the police.
- No!
That'll blow my cover.
- That's crazy, you can't
stay there all night.
- Look, if it were you,
would you tough it out?
Look, I'm stuck
here until 6 a.m.
That's when the
cleaning staff arrive.
- I'm going to bed.
- Goodnight Bobby.
- [Bobby] Hang in there.
- Well, looks like you're
stuck with me for a while.
- Well, you're better
company than sacks of flour.
- Yeah, I hope so.
So, I guess this is
the part of the movie
where the hero talks his
best buddy through it?
- It's a sweet thought, Dick.
(gentle guitar music)
- How's that for brotherly love?
(laughs)
So, Bobby could
never get to sleep
without me reading
him a bedtime story.
- That's really cute.
- Yeah, well my parents
didn't think so,
cuz I only read
him ghost stories
which got him so scared
he couldn't fall sleep.
(laughs)
And I got in more
trouble with my dad.
- Well, you know what I think?
I think there's a part of you
that you never let anyone see.
- Oh, yeah, what part is that?
- The part that
loves stuff rabbits.
(laughs)
I always felt isolated.
Even among my friends I,
it's funny how you
can be so involved
and yet, feel so alone.
- Yeah, I never felt
alone, til mom got sick.
Now dad, it's all just...
- I know.
(sighs)
(gentle guitar music)
(birds chirping)
(door opening)
- What's that?
- It's the cleaners,
I'm outta here.
Thanks, Dick.
(gentle guitar music)
(typing)
(beeping)
- Oh, come on!
- Hello Bobby!
- Hello Vern.
- I couldn't help but notice
you're having trouble.
- How would you know?
- Any data access program
is monitored by me.
(laughs)
That's how your
father set it up.
- I'm trying to run this license
plate through police files,
but it won't access.
- No problem.
You have the wrong phone number.
- Then, what's the right one?
- [Vern] Scrolling.
(computer beeps)
- Vern?
- Scrolling.
- Vern!
(sighs)
- Sir, I found something.
- What?
- Well, matching events
against the crime grid,
plotted in
chronological sequence
and taking into
account all forensic--
- What!
- Willy Mango's back in town.
- Ahhh, put a tail on 'em.
Let's see who Mango's
hanging out with these days.
(lighthearted music)
(children laughing)
- Willie Mango?
- That's the dude.
A car registered in his name
shows up at Murray's
Pizza every day.
- What, Vern helped you run
his car through police files?
- Yeah.
Mango's been busted three
times, he's a world class fence.
- So, someone like him
needs a local supplier.
(machine running)
- Okay Bobby, we're in position.
- Roger that, bro.
If license plate vroom
shows up, you're on.
- You wanna meet girls,
go across the street
to the singles bar.
- I wasn't doing anything.
- You keep flirting with
my staff you're outta here.
(intense music)
- Showtime, bro!
- Copy that.
- You're early.
- He's very hungry today.
(intense music)
(chopping)
- Hey, where's my pizza?
- What are you, crazy boy?
- [Man In Leather Jacket]
What are you doing?
I've been waiting 20 minutes
and this guy gets his first?
- [Man In Leather Jacket]
Give me that pizza, kid.
- I'm calling the Better
Business Bureau on this joint.
- You're outta here!
(dramatic music)
- Willy.
Good to see you well.
- Where's my pizza?
- Here you are, Willy.
(glass breaks)
- [Murray] You, out!
(upbeat music)
- [Lieutenant Murphy] Hope
I'm not too late or the party.
- [Murray] Like a
pizza, Lieutenant?
On the house.
- I'll have a slice.
- One slice of deluxe!
- Nice to see you
out and about Willy.
You like pizza?
- Yeah, and I got a
taste for it in prison.
- You wouldn't be doin any
business here, would you Willy?
- Go ahead, search me.
- What's with the
Lieutenant's pizza?
(upbeat music)
- Think you're really gonna
enjoy this, Lieutenant.
- Dig in, Lieutenant.
- Mmm.
(crunch)
- A ruby!
Now, that's a topping
I haven't tried.
Mmmm, a tasty emerald.
- Half a million in
gems and jewelry.
- And another quarter million
in cash in those jars.
- I bet Murphy's still
recovering from the shock.
(laughs)
(computer beeps)
- It's you know who.
Hi, guys.
Great news about the pizza
bust, congratulations.
Listen, sources tell me
that the chin man is still
hanging around your area.
He must still think I'm alive.
- Why?
- Well, unless a real
body goes into the ground
he won't buy my death.
- What are you saying?
- I'm gonna send you a corpse.
- What?
- What?
- Fake that it's mine.
Give it a public burial.
- But, whose body is it?
- I'll be in touch
with the details.
Good luck.
