whole organization. the way to get charles is on a c.c.e. that's operating a continuing criminal enterprise. i can help you with that. let me do it. it will require some paperwork. tell me about it. what is your help going to entail, lieutenant? every time you come in, you talk, i write. names, places and faces. when we can fill in the blanks-- connect charles to one clean piece of business-- okay. you got it. i don't know anything about boats, waves or anything. we're going to surfer high and i don't even tan.

peat moss... this cop thinks i'm hauling peat moss. so i wind up getting busted because of... a fruit fly quarantine. hey... aren't we building sculpture today? remember, no art supplies. find things, make something? aper towels

hi. how yoyodoing?!

you guys aren't twins. and you can't be this geeky. no one is. maybe they are e is geeky. it worked in our old school. teachers leave us alone. principals, too. and students. we moved because we got lonely. everybody leaves you alone so you get lonely. that's funny. keg party! are you going? yeah, this is cool! we don't like the beach. we don't like water. but we like beer. oh, these gugu kill me. a family of six in oregon. i'm glad you called. i don't know.

yeah. whatever. they need you downstairs. sorry about this. could you get up? excuse me? i need to frisk you. find anything interesting? that guy you were with at the restaurant--

it of yours? tony cherson. he dabbled in import/export-- the powdered kind. happy? do you have any idea what charles does? so? then maybe you understand a little paranoia keeps us all alive. just decd to frisk me. that's bobob look, i don't know what to tell you. i guess if you really don't like what goes on here you could leave. what is it with you guys and this twin thing? how could youub? we just are.

apart. we got the same parents. i dodot get this. you got your twins that look alike. then those that don't look alike. like us. i still don't get this. do you guys want something? we heard your story in art class. and in the hall. it's a good story. we want to publish a collection of stories. will they let you back to work? yeah, it wasn't my fault. we're looking for a job. in a local industry. you can sell burgers for $3.25 an hour. you can lifeguard at $7.00 or you could make a night run for $1,000. ks?! that's a lot of striped shirts. but, hey, guys... we don't know you. no problem. you could come over for dinner. meet the triplets. quints. they're quints now? let's go somewhere else. those guys are strange. you guys are kind of bizarre.

maybe. i still don't get how you guys could be twins. dougie...

what you gotot charles greening must have somebody in at the south coast precinct. they pulled tony cherson's records. theyeye checking on your girl.

you sell drugs. and you've done timeme well, they bought me as hoffs' boyfriend. and if they bought you, they bought hoffs. your girl is in. okay, okay. this is the best of both worlds. tom makes the best burgers and fries this is... strange. fun, but incredibly strange. tom will boil eggs, chop onions, make toast. but he doesn't get why we want to eat fish eggs. ( phone ringing ) yo, tom's diner. yeah, he is. hey, what am i, your answering service?

who's in jail now? i'm glad you came to see him. in a ather day, he'd have made me find you. he seems real special. he is. some of his ideas are... a a ttle strange. but he's a good guy. he's real generous. is it any good? a lot of the people you see around charles-- we were all in high school together. he can get real lonely. he likes to come downstairs in the middle of the night and find somebody in the living room to talk to. who can you work with except friends?

rity, be reliable and you don't use guns. you stay non-violent. just don't do business with those people again. right? yeah. we bring stuff in now and use local kids. they can't go to jail. they can't tell anybody. and they need the money. it's great. everybody makes out. doesn't even sound like it should be against the law. it shouldn't. then there's the last thing. the most important thing. reading people. i met you and knew you were good people before i knew you.

yeah. yeah. i know this sounds a little weird. but are you guys narcs? do we look like narcs? no, you guys look like bookends. what kind of books do you think would be between us? come on, guys. where are you guys from? akron... akron, ohio. rubber capital of the world. what? goodyear, firestone, blimps, radials. you thought we meant the other kind. that's youngstown, ohio.

rush. you were telling us about a job. we can be serious. we won't embarrass you. we won't screw up. job. so what do you think? now. i don't know, guys. someplace charles went when he was 17. they bring us champagne and d viar. you had a good time? they're little boys. little pirate boys. charles won't use guns. he just won't do business with people again. marijuana comes into this country in truly enormous amounts... hundreds of tons.

there are enormous sums of money at stake. i don't want to scare you, but don't kid yourself, judy. if they find out who you are, they will kill you. driviv drive. he's old, he's tired. she moves. how about shuffleboard or croquet or something that suits charles's advanced age? i'll make sure the monitoto are set up tonight. monitors? yeah. every police, federal and coast guard bandwidth known to man. gets good stereo reception, too. call blakeney. use the mixmaster. mr. high-tech, huh? bob gave everybody scramblers for christmas. go ahead.

yeah, tonight. wheat pools. two semis. your guys. okey-doke. i just made 800 grand. i love my job. i deserve a reward. you want to do something silly? guys, as soon as i'm done playing with this it's all yours. i need tony brandt. there you go, kid. the wheat pool's tonight. some load's coming in.

have some secrets, doesn't she? okay, it was my boyfriend, tony cherson. happy? yeah? now my ex-boyfriend, tony cherson. he left a message on my machine. wanted to apologize. wanted to know if we could get back together. i guess i kind of realized i'm pretty happy right now. in fact, i'm real happy. so i told him to go away.

and barely. what the hell am i doing? hanson or penhall to do it. wrong. i would if it called for it. this doesn't seem like good police work to me, captain. it feels like some sort of cheap shortcut. i'm just screwing around with someone's emotions here.

emotionally. look, jude... you don't do anything if it doesn't make you happy. there's only one of you. there's lots of them out there. it's your call. i'll back you on it. i guess i just needed to hear that. administrative narcotics is working on ing pressure on charles from a number of sides. we're trying to take his major customers away.

i'd rather you found out about this naturally. tony's probably right, judy. what happened with the load last night? i'd rather you found out about this naturally. while i'm being natural, and/or stupid what else can i do for you? brandt: sooner or later, he's going to do something stupid. i want you there when it happens. you're right.. look, judy... you need anything, you pick up the phone. i guess it's jususthat i think he thinks he's...

hey. hey there, yourself.f. boy, it sure is pretty out there. i was thinking... like an inn, up the coast? for the weekend? i always f fget how beautiful the ocean is. never really stopped to look at it. business is changing. it's not as fun as it used to be.

you just got a phone call. important-enough-to- come-up-here phone call? last night they scuttled the ship. coast guard came out of nowhere. they had to sink it. total loss. cargo and ship. sank it on purpose. bob's always got three plans. it's a good thing. because nobody's paying attention around here. what's the problem? bail them out. they're downloadinin the freighter tonight, right? we haven't lost a ship in a year and a half! there was nothing on the radio. something got sloppy. or maybe they got lucky. it's got to happen against us sometime. write it off. it's an operating loss. bo: why do you want to do this so bad?

because we've been saving up, too. ahh... f fnchises. we're to invest in... a franchise situation. you put some money down with an ongoing business. the wave of the future. penhall: you can triple your money. if you invested $500 in mcdonald's what wouou you have? fifteen hundred bucks. we got a lot of money saved. no one wants to be a criminal forever. we don't know what yet. but this is good. we could own our own business. franchises are part of the american dream. which reminds me, we still want to work an off-load. i don't know, it's a pretty big step. so is planning for your financial security. you guys never stop surprising me.

get it all? yeah, we got the plates on the truck. tons of photos, and money changing hands on videotape. free trade in action. we undercut charles greening by 30 percent we'll meet the local wholesalers. yeah? nice bunch of guys. how much longer? till charles does something stupid.

the cops. great! you set up an undercover sting and nobody notified the lolols. i guess not. let's make this as easy for them as we can. everybody, hands on heads. anybody inside? i think there's been a mistake here. i said, is there anybody inside?

it's funny the way things go in cycles. i meet you. i feel great. and the business gets funny. business was going great for a while. i really like you, jude. i knowow you want to go up to the house? sorry, kids.

we're going up anyhow.w. i got one more load. i'd like to stay down here by myself for a few minutes. i'll be right up.

you didn't have to do thatat i really care about charles. a lot. if this is going to end up hurting him, do me a favor-- get it over with now.

fuller: the moment you locate her, have her report... never mind. where were you? a-hold of you for hours. is brandt here? i think i found sosothing. where did you get this? captain bob, charles's sidekick was burning a bunch of them last night. lieutenant brandt was shot and killed last night along with four other police officers while o oan undercover. they were running a wholesale marijuana sting. they were shot byby number of men wearing police uniforms according to the sole survivor. oh, my god. i guess tony

oh, god, i guesssst was. ( bell ringing ) hi! hi! you know any of these little towns up the coast? no. why? we were thinking... of moving. mr. mcsteamer. international donut boutique. land o' burgers. uncle fudge. we've been checking this franchise idea out. we foundndome good ones. international donut boutique? right. the thing is, even at 1,000 bucks an off-load we'll never make it, because they all gotot something called "prior brand identification." cheapest one, they want 125,000 bucks to start.

if this was some big secret why didn't you tell me? you had the e p out. so there's an off-load tonight. you're going to steal your truck full of dope. down payment, bro'. bad plan. you'll die. nah. these guys are mr. non-violenen. a truck full of dope? it's worth 100 grand, maybe more. more. you'll die. for what? the off-load. yoyore working, too? we are now.

now let's not screw up. last time, somebody got busted for speeding. now watch it. let's not screw up. right there, fellas. they're getting away!

yeah. they raided the off-load. everybody but bob. you don't have to come, judy. maybe you can... visit me... someplace or something. where's bob?

all right, search the house. where are we going? it's in international waters. it's ours. once we're on it, nobody can touch us. i've been thinking about rio... for a while. it's a nice town. you ever been there? no. we're not going there, bob. turn around.

there are people coming. sure, judy. the hell are you doing? she's a cop, charles. are you doing? i'm trying to save your life. sorry.

what are you doing here? i don't know. isn't your job done? you brought the big bad criminal to justice. maybe we can do it right here in the police station.n.

why should i be sosoy? i'm the one going to jail. judy... was it all a scam? yes.

bo: we did it, man! we are golden. we are golden. we got a truck full of dope nes. it's the american dream! we're going to own a franchise! what's happening? uh.. probably an accident or something. i think we got a problem. [captioning sponsored by fx networks
