Wayde:
On this episode of "Tanked"...

Welcome to the world-famous
Magic castle here in hollywood,

Of which I, neil patrick harris,
Am the president.

Beautiful.
Yeah.

I want the most magical tank
Ever made.

The houdini
"Water torture cell" tank.

We need to figure out a way
To hang frankie upside-down.

So -- wha-- huh?
Hang what?

Everybody
Hold on to him.
Oh, god.

There's a client in retail
That wants to get an aquarium.

Wayde:
I don't see anybody.

Brett: that's a kid!

How long
You been saving?

Half my life.

There's a leak. There's a leak
Right here. It's a valve!

Redneck: run!

That is the coolest thing
I have ever seen!

Wow!
[ laughs ]

Wayde: I'm wayde king.

Brett: I'm brett raymer.

We're two new yorkers
Who moved to las vegas

To follow our dreams...

To create underwater worlds
Like no one's ever seen.

We build aquariums.

We're the number-one
Aquarium builders in the world.

It's a family business,
For sure.

[ indistinct shouting ]

I was forced
Into this relationship.

I married brett's sister.

Brett:
And my dad runs operations.

We call him "The general."

[ laughs ]

We may fight,
But somehow we make it work.

If you can dream it,
We can build it.

General: have a wonderful day.
Thank you.

Brett and wayde.

Brett and wayde
To the front desk.

Why is he calling us?
Come on, heather.
You can come with us, too.

It better be something good,
Making me get up out of my desk.

So, what's going on?
What's going on?

Listen, a guy called --

Somebody famous.
I just can't remember his name.

I think it might
Have been patrick.

A guy called named patrick.

Wayde: did he call himself,
Or did someone else --
No, no.

I think it was his assistant
For this guy patrick.

So, a famous assistant
Called.

Patrick.
Patrick dempsey?

No, no, no, no.

Patrick duffy?

No, no, no.
He's famous.

Patrick from "Spongebob"?

[ laughs ]
No.

Maybe it was --

Neil something?
Could it be neil something?

Maybe neil something.
Neil diamond?

He's from california.
I know --

Is it
Neil patrick harris?!

Yeah, yeah, that's the one.
Bingo.
I love him!

He got his medical degree
At age 14. [ laughs ]

That was like your favorite show
Back in the day, wasn't it?

Oh, my god. Loved it.
Are you kidding me?

Well, I don't know much
About that, but --

Don't you know
"How I met your mother"?

Your grandmother?

Well, what does she
Have to do with it?

Never mind.
[ chuckling ] Never mind.

He's the president of
The academy of magical arts.

They want a tank.

Yeah!
That's awesome.
That's great.

All right. Okay.

Next time, at least
Write the name down!

All right! I got it to you
Anyway! What do you want?

You know,
I still don't understand

What your grandmother
Has to do with this.

Neil wants to meet at
The magic castle in hollywood.

It's a 100-year-old mansion,

And the academy of magical arts

Has been there
For almost 50 of them.

This is an exclusive club

For over 5,000 professional
Magicians and magic fans.

And it's headed by one
Of hollywood's biggest stars,

So we're pumped to get inside
And start talking tanks.

We're looking
At an actual castle.

Look at the stained glass.
Stained glass.

Look. He's right here.
He's on the phone.

Yeah, they said they'd be here
A little while ago.

Neil patrick harris
Is waiting for us?

We've arrived, bro.

He's waiting for us
Because we're late.

I got to go.
I'll see you later. Bye.

Hey. What's going on?
Hey. How are you?

How you doing?
Pleasure.
Nice to meet you guys.

Welcome to the world-famous
Magic castle here in hollywood,

Home of the academy
Of magical arts,

Of which I,
Neil patrick harris,

Am the president.

I don't get to say that
Very often.

[ both laugh ]
You guys like magic?

I love magic.
Love magic.

Well, cool.
I want to take you guys inside

And talk about what you might
Be able to do for the club.

You didn't get -- I sent an
E-mail to you guys about the --

There's a dress code here.

[ wah-wah! ]

Brett: really?

It's jackets and ties
For gentlemen

And dresses for ladies,

But I'm assuming you're gonna go
With the suit and tie.

Aren't you in charge here?

Yeah, I'm the president
Of the castle, actually.

Can't you pull some strings,
Mr. President?

If you were wearing, like,
Say pants and a dress shirt,

We could probably provide you
With a tie, maybe a jacket.

But this is
Hilariously wrong.

Look at you.
Your shoes glow in the dark.

Did you guys just come
From, like, working out?

Well, sort of.
Working.

How can we do
The consultation

With you dressed like
You just ran a 10k?

"Ran a 10k"?

Obviously he doesn't know
Your workout routine --

Lift, bite, chew.

200 reps, big guy.
[ laughs ]

Is there somewhere around
Here we might be able
To find a place?

I don't know. This is your area,
Your neck of the woods.

This is hollywood,
Where dreams are made

And anything is possible.

Go down that way,
Make a left,

Past the prostitutes,
Make a right.

You'll see all these
Great suit shops.

Grab a suit.
There's wig shops.

And then you can show up
In, like, maybe --

Soon? Half an hour?
An hour?

All right.
We'll be back.
We'll see you guys soon.

Hurry up.
All right.

I can't believe you didn't
Tell me about suits.

I'm sorry! It's not my fault.
I didn't read it.

It was the same e-mail
You got!

Yeah, they came.

Ay yi yi.

No, not even a jacket.

They came
In [bleep] Cargo shorts.

Welcome to my life.

Wayde: where are we gonna
Find this, dude?

No idea.
Look at every
Crazy nut around here.

Look at this --
"Tuxedos by mike."

Dude, tuxedos
Are like a suit.

Brett: buying a suit?
That's expensive.

Renting a tux?
That's cheap.

I don't know. It's been
A long time since the prom, bro.

What can I do for you?

Are you mike?
That's me.

We need something for an event
We have to go to.

When you need it?

We need them now.
Now?
Now.

What's happening
To your pants?

Ho! Hey, easy, man.
Look at this guy.

A stripping club, yeah.

This ain't no strip club.

This is like
Chippen-don'ts.
Mm.

Hey, you're looking
Pretty suave there.

I like this, huh?
Yeah.
You're looking good.

Let me see. Turn around.
Let me see.

Our boy mike -- he hooked us up.
We are looking fly.

[ rock music plays ]

* hey! *

* hey! *

* hey! *

* hey! *

Wayde:
Yeah, we own this place.

Hey, maybe since
We own this place,

You can get someone
To open up the door.

No problem.

[ chuckles ] Locked.

Come on.
Let's go this way.

This place is big.

Now that we're inside, I can see
Why there's a dress code.

This place
Is old-school hollywood.

It's a classic club for
Magicians and magic fans alike.

It's huge and full of
All kinds of magic memorabilia.

Hey, hey.
Hey, hey!

We're back.

Well played!
How are you, sir?

Wow. When you guys suit up,
You don't fool around.

I'm 007.
This is my partner, 0007.

[ laughs ] Nice.

After this,
You can go to the oscars.

You have to be
In a movie first.

That's true.
Good luck with that.

So, should we talk
About the tank?
Absolutely.

I've been in magic
Since I was 15 years old.

I was a junior member
Here at the magic castle,

Then got on the board
Of directors,

And have worked my way
Up to being president.

I love it. It's, like,
The coolest hobby in the world.

So, what are you
Looking for?

I want the most magical tank
That you guys have ever made.

Maybe down here
Would be cool.

Not sure where,
Not sure what, frankly.

Could you do, like...

A tank where the fish
Magically appear perhaps?

Something,
I mean, maybe --
A big top hat?

A top hat where the fish
Come out or something?
I literally don't know.

Do you have rabbitfish?

Yeah.
Is there really?

Yes, there is. There's
Such a thing as a rabbitfish.
Oh, cool.

Sawing a woman in half?
How about that?

There's a couple of trunks,
You know?

I mean, I've seen a lot
Of houdini props around here.

True. True.

Houdini is, like, the most
Famous magician in the world.

What about --
Hey, hey, hey.

He had a trick called
"The water torture cell."

You've seen that.
Yeah.

Like, and it's clear,
And he was --
He's upside-down.

In the straitjacket underneath
Covered in chains upside-down.

Could you maybe do a tank
Off of that?

Yeah, we could do
Something like that.

Why don't we actually
Put a body in there

And actually make it
Look like the real trick?

We could put a straitjacket.
We could put some kind of --

Put what in it?
A body. An actual body.

We'll make, like,
A mannequin of some sort.

This is hollywood. We can get
Something made in hollywood.

We can make it look like
The actual trick.

Harris:
This, I like very much.

The houdini
"Water torture cell" tank.

Aquarium.
Aquarium.

Exactly.

What fish?

Are there, like, magical types
Of fish that can be invisible?

Invisible fish?
Do they make those?

You know, we could save
A lot of money

If we filled this tank
With invisible fish.

[ chuckles ]
Dude, we can't do that.

Ah, you're right.

They don't make
Invisible fish,

But I think I got something
Kind of up my sleeve.

You like that?
Ah!

Ah, you like that, right?

The only thing is,
Where are we gonna put it?

This is the walkway.
People are at the bar.

People are sitting here
With the piano.

I'd say this is probably
The best area.

So, pressure's on.

The most magical tank
You guys have ever made,

Here at the magic castle.

So, tell me again
What the plan is.

So, what I'm thinking
Is actually

The size of the place
Over here -- if we don't --

You know, it's a little big
Over here.

But I think we're --

Where'd he go?

Where'd he go?

"Where'd he go?"
I was watching over here.

I have no idea where he went.
Where'd he go?

Dude, he disappeared.

Is there a hole in the floor
Or the ceiling?

Where'd he go? This is weird.
He just disappeared.

Come on.
Let's get out of here.

I don't know. Come on.

How long is it gonna take you
To get out of this thing?

Well, it's gonna take me
A few minutes.
All right.

[ grunts ]

Ooh!

10 minutes already.

Brett:
We were at the magic castle in
L.A. With neil patrick harris.

It's the exclusive club
For magicians and magic fans,

And they want a tank!

Now it's time to get back to
The shop and get back to work.

Hey, hey. We're back.
Hey, guys.

Agnes: uh-oh. Look.
The guys are back.

Hey!
Heather: hey!

How was your trip?

It was good.
It was fun.
It was cool.

It's nice
To see you back.
Hello. Hi, honey.

How was
Neil patrick harris?

Cool. Real cool.
Was he awesome?

Was he nice?
Very nice.
Extremely nice.

We'll see you guys later.

Well, I'm glad
You had a good trip.

I'll be in my office.

What is this?

What's the matter?

Why is my door open?!

What's the deal?
I locked my door.

What are you looking at me for?
I was with you.

I always make sure my door is
Locked when I leave my office.

Somebody got in there
While we were gone.

Maybe it was houdini's ghost.
Maybe you brought him back.

Whatever.

Heather:
We didn't go in there.

Ooh.
Welcome back.

While wayde calms down, the
Rest of us have to get going

On the houdini tank
For the magic castle.

It's gonna be a 240-gallon,
Rectangular, freshwater beauty.

The outside of the tank
Will be themed

To look like
An early 1900s magic prop.

We're gonna make
A houdini replica

To hang upside down in the tank

To re-create the famous
Water torture escape act,

Complete with straitjacket.

To add to the suspense,
There's gonna be

Some mean-looking fish
Circling houdini.

It'll provide
A little motivation

For him to get
The heck out of there.

Hey, guys.
What's up?

There's a client in retail
That wants to get an aquarium,

So can you mosey on out?

All right. Come on.

Great.

Client in retail? Did you have
An appointment or anything?

Agnes, I don't see anybody.

You got to look harder.
He's right there.

That's a kid!
He can't be our client.

Hey. Are you looking
For an aquarium?

Yes, I am.

I guess he is our client.

He better have
A really big trust fund.

[ both laugh ]

Whoa.
Where's your mom and dad?

Over there.

Oh, there's mom and dad
Right there.

Hey, guys.
What's going on?

I didn't want to start
Selling him a fish tank

Unless we had
Parent approval.

Well, he's been saving
His money.

He's a good kid,
And he's got a mind of his own,

So it's up to him.

How long you been saving?

Half my life --
Like five years.

You must be loaded,
Then, huh?

I guess
You could say that.

Yeah? Oh, you brought it all
With you?

Yep. There you go.
Kabam.

Wayde: wow, his pockets
Are filled.
Whoa.

This tank just went from a betta
Bowl to a big tank, huh?

Yeah.
Whoa.

Oh, that's where you keep
The big stash, huh?

Having celebrity clients
Is fun,

But the main reason
Why we started this business

Is for the love of fish
And aquarium building.

Yeah, and anytime we get
A chance to share that

With other fish lovers,
We can't resist.

We got all this cash
Right here.

I think we can make something
Quite nice with this.

What type of fish
Do you like?

I like sharks mostly.
Sharks mostly?

Well, you know, for sharks,
You need a really big aquarium.

Give me some things
That you enjoy

That maybe I can, you know,
Make the fish tank out of.

I like to play video games,
Play soccer,

And love to watch tv.

Hey, how would you like
A tv tank?

That would be cool.

Like that?
Yeah.

I'm gonna take your cash
Right here.

We're gonna design something,
Build it for you,

And then call you guys back
In a couple weeks

And have you come down
And check it out.

Okay.
But I can't give you
Any specifics.

It's gonna be like a surprise.
Are you cool with that?

All right.
Jessica: thank you.

All right, guys.
Nice to meet you, all right?

You be good, all right?
Take it easy.

Jacobi: bye!

The kid's
A little short, brett.

I know. He's a kid.

Cash, you dummy.
Oh, relax, big guy.

He seems like a good kid.
Let's just hook him up.

My dad loves
To tell stories

About the colorful life he led
When he was a young man,

Including being
A popular magician.

Yeah, with his
Vast experience,

He should definitely be able
To find us a straitjacket.

Magic johnson.

[ laughter ]

The gruesome twosome is back.
Now what do you want?

What did you make disappear
Today -- anything?

Yeah, I would like to make
Something disappear.

What was the name
Of your act?

It was
"Irwin the magnificent."

[ laughing ]
Irwin the magnificent?

Understand something, son --
Theres a lot of things

That you don't know
About your father.

I know that the act should have
Been "Irwin the impossible."

[ both laugh ]

Instead of houdini,
It was "Ir-weenie."

"Ir-weenie."

[ laughter ]

"Ir-weenie the great!"

Do I have to
Take this abuse

On a constant basis?
I love it.

So, no, seriously,
We need a straitjacket.

Can you help us out?

Do you want to go?
We can get it right now.

Right now?
Right now.

Let's do it, then.
Let's go. Let's roll.

This better be
A real one, too.

He'll take his money out,
You'll make it disappear.

Let's go. Come on.
No problem.

Just follow ir-weenie.

[ both laugh ]

Hey, greg.
Irwin!
How are you, sir?

"Hey, greg."
He knows the guy.

He recognized ir-weenie
Right away.

Maybe your dad's
Not full of crap after all.

No, he's still
Full of it.

Brought in
My son brett...
Hey. What's up, pal?

...Wayde, my son-in-law.
Good to meet you.

The reason
That we actually came in

Is I need an authentic
Houdini straitjacket.

We actually have an authentic
Houdini straitjacket

In the store.

It's right over here.

Check this out, sir.

You know what, irwin?
You've done this before.

I'm gonna leave this
To you, buddy.

All right, well, listen,
This is what you do, guys.

You just put it on --

And don't forget, I haven't
Put this on in maybe 10 years.

Wayde: you used to get out
Of this thing?
I used to get out of it.

Brett, get that front one.

You know, I'm not as young
As I used to be.

Whoa. Easy, easy, easy!
Breathe in. Breathe in.

Strap this one
Extra tight.

Family jewels. Ohh!

Listen, I can't
Get out of this thing.

Listen, you can't
Get into this thing.

[ laughter ]

This goes here first.
And then this goes here.

Oh, I'm loving this.
We're in.

How long is it gonna take you
To get out of this thing?

Well, it's gonna take me
A few minutes.
All right. Cool.

[ grunting ]

[ whimsical music plays ]

Hey, just give me a little bit
Of time. Ooh!

It's getting late.
We're gonna be here forever.

I thought he said
He could do this.

10 minutes already.

Let's put him in the car
That way.

Let's do something.
No, wait a minute.

No, no. Come on, guys.
Give me a chance.

I don't want you to have
A heart attack.

Brett: looks like
The great ir-weenie

Lost some of his magic
Over the years.

Let's get him
Back to the shop

And let him
Work on it some more.

General: come on, guys!
This isn't funny!

Brett: ha ha! You look like
An escaped mental patient.

Wayde: bring him down.
Don't crack him on his head.

Oh, god.
A little more!

Wayde: with all the magic castle
Work going on at the shop,

I almost forgot about the tv
Tank that we promised jacobi.

Wayde: redneck!
What?

You're sweeping?

I'm cleaning the table off.
Well, good.

You got a new project.
Voilà.

What is that?

We got to convert this
Into a little fish tank.

[ laughs ]

I want to make this front window
The tank.

Let's gut this thing and see
What we got on the inside.

Dude, I want to figure out
How old this thing is.

It's older than you and me
Combined.

That's old, dude.

[ drill whirs ]

This is the whole face.

I say if we make
A tank in here --

A little square tank,
Right?

We'll put a little
Hang-on filter here.

And on the top here,
We'll cut out.

We'll put some l.E.D.S
And a little access hole.

I think this would be perfect
For the kid.

All right. I'll see you
In about an hour?
Aren't you funny.

Brett: first, we'll start
With a vintage tv

And remove the guts inside.

Then we'll make an acrylic box

That fits inside
That will be home

To some awesome, shark-like,
Freshwater fish.

And the outside
Will be finished off

By a fin and some decals.

Wayde: at atm,
We have our own retail shop

Where we sell freshwater fish.

This is where
We're gonna get some fish

To make this tv tank pop
In high-def.

So, you know,
He wanted a shark tank.

And obviously --
Freshwater, sharks --

We're not gonna really give him
Any sharks.

What we'll do is,
Let's give him fish

That are named
Like sharks.

Let's do that.
That's perfect.

We got to get him
A rainbow shark.

Their dorsal fin is red.

You know,
The gravel's black.
Yeah?

So I think we should get
The albino sharks, too,

'cause they'll pop.
They'll stand out.

Okay, what else? What about
The featherfin catfish?

Oh, we have to get him that.

All right, so,
We get him one of those.

The bala, definitely, yeah,
Because he's gonna swim around.

He's gonna look like
Little jaws.

Keep in mind that those guys
Are a little bit timid.

I think we should maybe add
A little bit of color.

And preventing the bala sharks
Form hiding,

Maybe we should throw in
A few guppies.

A great starter tank.
You know, it's not going crazy.

And I think
He can learn from this.
Definitely.

Neil patrick harris also
Requested freshwater fish
For the houdini tank

Because it's easier to maintain
Than salt water.

Our retail store doesn't have

All the rare breeds
We're looking for,

So we're gonna see
Our freshwater specialist,

Segrest farms in florida.

Oh, dude!
Look at this guy!

It's a blue-eyed plecostomus.
These guys are so rare.

They're hard to get.

This guy here
Is from colombia, dude.

They go into the jungle
And get them.

This guy retails
For $1,000.

These are one
Of the only animals

That actually can eat wood
And digest it.

Brett:
Are you sure about that?

Didn't you eat
A toothpick once?
Shh!

Oh, I know what they are.
Those are malaysian swamp eels.

Exactly.

Those guys get
Two to three feet.

They live in murky water.

You can't even see them.
They're mostly blind.

These guys
Are a big escape artist,

Which is why
We got the lid.

So, just like houdini, they're
Gonna do a vanishing act.

They can climb
Out of the tank

For a long period of time
And disappear.

They can actually survive
Out of water for hours.

What do these guys eat?
They're scavengers,

So pretty much anything that
Gets to the bottom of the tank,

They'll take it down.

Now that we've got
The escape-artist aspect,

I'm looking for, like,
You know, something dangerous,

Something with teeth

To make it look like
Houdini's in a lot of danger.

He's in danger.
So, you need a predator.

Predator.

Sabertooth barracudas.

These guys are all teeth.
Check them out.

Dude, they got, like,
That sling jaw that come up,

And they got teeth.
Exactly.

These guys come
From the amazon.

They call them payara
Where they come from.

Also known as
Vampire barracuda.

They're gonna look like
Houdini's surrounded

By these ferocious things --
Make it look more dangerous.

Give a little aggressive tank.
I think that's a great idea.

And they get along
With the plecostomus,

So nothing's gonna hurt
That guy.

Tuccinardi: all right.
Sounds good, guys.

Thanks for everything,
Brother.

No problem.
Come back anytime.

Now that we have the fish picked
Out for the houdini tank,

We have to figure out how
We're gonna hang a mannequin

Upside down in this thing.

There he is. Look.
Redneck's cleaning it.

Yo, redneck,
You do windows?

What's that?

It's a straitjacket.

We just got it
For the houdini tank.

It's like the old-school ones
Back in the day --

An authentic houdini
Look-alike one.

Put a mannequin on here,
Strap him up,

And put him inside the tank.

To be honest with you, this
Looks a little bit too small.

What is this --
Four foot tall?

It's 34x34x48.
I think it's perfect.

Houdini was 5'3".

You're telling me houdini
Was as small as frankie is?

Just about, yeah.
Serious?

How tall are you, frankie?

5'5".
See?

That might be
Stretching it.

If he's 5'5",
I'm 7 foot tall.

[ laughter ]

Brett: do me a favor.
Jump up there for a second.

We need to get you in there
For a minute.

I want to see
What it looks like.

Dude, it's perfect.

Wait, wait, wait. Hold on.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.

We need to figure out a way
To hang frankie upside down.

So -- wha-- huh?
Hang what?

Why are you gonna hang me
Upside down?

Why? Because it's helpful
And it's funny.

Want to tie something from up
There and just hang him up?

No. No.

We're gonna use that.
What?

General:
Are you kidding?

Now you're talkin'.
Frankie: oh, great.

Come on, bro.

Take one for the team.

General:
It won't be any big deal.

I'll drive
The forklift, okay?

Oh, yeah, that makes me
Real comfortable.

General: we have insurance.
Don't worry about it.

And I'll tie the straps,
So you'll be fine.

And I'll put a piece of
Bubble wrap on the bottom.
Thanks.

Now close your eyes
And pretend you're houdini.

Oh, my god.
Here we go.

Redneck, pull forward
A little bit.

Watch his head.
Everybody hold on to him.

Redneck:
You okay, frankie?
Ohh.

Brett: and now it's time
For a quick fish fact.

Find out after the break.

Brett:
So what makes eels so slimy?

The answer is...

The slimy mucous
That covers an eel's body

Is a defense mechanism
That keeps parasites out,

Helps it slip into
Tiny nooks and crannies,

And makes it aerodynamic

So it can move through the water
Lightning quick.

We're building a houdini tank
For neil patrick harris

And the magic castle.

There's gonna be a mannequin
Hanging upside-down in the tank,

And we need to figure out
How tall he needs to be.

To help us get a visual

Of what the houdini dummy
Would look like,

We're using our own atm dummy,
Frankie, as a stand-in.

General: frankie,
You're turning red.

Wayde: how long did houdini
Do this for?

Bring him down, robert.

Watch your elbows.

Leave your head just like that.
Frankie, right like that.

I got to say --
Frankie's got some guts.

I would never let you
Hoist my ass up on a forklift.

Dude, I can't even hoist your
Ass out of a chair sometimes.

Frankie, you okay?
Yeah.

You're good?
Just look straight ahead,
Harry.

Harry houdini!

Slow. Nice and slow.

Don't crack him
On his head.
Go ahead.

He does that on his own.

A little more.
Oh, god.

Look,
It's the perfect size.

General:
I think maybe he's right.

I think we need
One more effect.
Like what?

I think we need to make bubbles
Come out of his mouth

To make it look like
He's, like, breathing.

Breathing underwater?

Well, if he's struggling,
He's gonna be letting air out,

He's not breathing.

I just wanted to make sure
He wasn't breathing underwater.

General: no, no, no.
Bubbles -- he's got breath.

How long do I got to be in here?

Brett: all right, but
We got it all down.
That's what we're gonna do.

So, we're gonna turn
The mannequin upside-down.

You're gonna get ahold
Of your movie guy.
Wayde:
I'm gonna call him.

All right, man.
All right,
We'll see you later.

Good night.

You guys better get back here!

Wayde:
After my office door was open
For no good reason last week,

I made it a point to lock it up
Before I left for california.

Since the magic castle is right
In the middle of hollywood,

We decided to go to the pros
To make the houdini mannequin.

Wayde: I have a guy, christian.
He own's quantum creation fx.

They do huge
Special effects jobs

For major movie studios
In hollywood.

We gave christian
A portrait of houdini,

So he's gonna make our mannequin
Look exactly like him.

This is your houdini.

Ah, man.
Check him out.

Brett: wow. Cool.

Essentially, we've taken some
Molds that we have in stock.

So, we've cast up our head,
We've cast up feet.

These are actually from molds
Taken from people, so they're --

You took these
From dead people?

Well, they weren't dead
When I got them.

What kind of stupid question
Was that?

"Dead people"?

We're gonna go through
And paint it.

It's gonna have
A realistic paint job.

For the hair, we're gonna go
With something that's synthetic.

It won't rot underwater
Or anything like that?
Exactly.

Dude, I don't know nothing
About hair.
[ chuckles ]
You could say that again.

Is there any way to make it
Look like he's breathing,

Like put a bubbler of some sort
In his mouth?

Absolutely.

Yeah, we can go back in
And retrofit,

Make the air tube come out of
The mouth or nostrils or both.

We'll get this guy
In there,

We'll make it look like
The real houdini,

And we'll go from there.

Brett:
We killed some time in hollywood

While the quantum creation guys
Tweaked our mannequin,

And then it was back to vegas
With houdini in tow.

Yo, redneck.

Yo, come on.
We need some help.

Nice.
Look at that, huh?

Yeah, that's cool, huh?

We still got to
Clear-coat it.

Not bad, huh?
That's gonna flow underwater.

That's perfect.

Yeah. Look, he's even got
The air line hose like
We asked him running up.

It's running to his mouth,

But, dude,
These are really small holes.

That's gonna be a problem.

It's not gonna look like
He's bubbling out of the mouth.

We wanted to see
Real bubbles.

I mean, we want that thing
To really bubble.

We might have to drill it
A little more.

We definitely got to
Make them bigger.

So, look,
This is hollywood, right?

And this guy needs a nose job
And his lips done...

Dr. Redneck.

Yeah, this is like
"Silicone" valley.

Everybody had plastic surgery.

"Silicon" for computers,
As in silicon valley,

Not for plastic surgery.

Okay.

Silicon is in your laptop,

And silicone is in
Hollywood actresses.

It's easy.

Silicon. Silicone.

Silic-- ah!

[ both laugh ]
I got it. I got it.

So, he needs
A little rhinoplasty

And some collagen
For his lips.

Can you make that happen?

I'll get it taken care of.

I like it. Redneck, m.D.

Thanks, redneck.

Doctor.

Houdini's in good hands
With the redneck.

He's got the steady hands
Of a surgeon.

Yeah, and the tools
Of a back-alley dentist.

[ drill whirs ]

The tank, you know, can sit on
It. You know what I'm saying?

I think that would be
Really, really cool.

Look at this.

I never leave my office
Without locking it.

Either I'm losing my mind
Or somebody's breaking in.

Who's in my office?

No one's got the key.

[ scoffs ]
It wasn't me.
I was with you.

I'm getting mad.

You better go find out
Who did it.

You know,
Now I'm getting pissed off.

You go in my office?

Why would I ever go in there?
For what?

Were you in my office?

Were you in my office?

No.

Why would I be in your office?
I'm in here working.

None of the suspects
Would confess to the crime.

Hey.
I'm really getting mad.

I locked my door.
Someone was in my office.

I asked everybody.
Nobody has a clue.

You have like 8,000 security
Cameras in this building.

Why don't you just set one up
In your office?

You know, that might have been
The best idea brett ever had.

I'm gonna catch somebody
Going in there,

And then I'm gonna fire them.

As I wait on the cameras
To catch the perp in the act,

We need to check on the tv
That I promised the kid.

Redneck has to gut a vintage tv

And make it into
A freshwater tank.

Redneck.

What's going on
With the tv?

I'm having nothing but problems
With this thing.

It doesn't look --

Let me see.

It's not --

Oh, boy.
This is a mess.

It is.

All right, look, it doesn't fit.
The case is kind of old.

I'm not really too thrilled
With it.

Obviously, we need
Another television, right?

Yeah.

No.
I got a flat-screen.

You can't have it.
Forget it.

I got an idea.
Tell me.

Look over there.
Where?

Chuy's desk.

Chuy's desk?

You're gonna take his tv?
Why not?

Everybody takes my stuff.

Chuy watches tv every day
For lunch.

You better finish it today...

Before tomorrow.

[ laughter ]

Listen to me --
This is a covert operation.

You need to be redneck
In stealth mode.

Dude, it's got a leak.
Oh, whoa! Whoa!

Shut the water down!
Shut the water off!

Run, dummy! Run!

We need to build a tv set
For our smallest client, jacobi,

But the first tv set
Didn't work out so well.

So, redneck "Borrowed" a tv set
From chuy to turn into a tank.

It looks great, but once
Chuy finds out it's missing,

[scoffs]
All hell is gonna break loose.

[ chuckles ]

You seen my tv?

You seen my tv?

Jacobi showed up
Just in time.

We better show him this tv

Before chuy figures out
What's going on.

Hey.
What's going on, guys?

What's up buddy? How are you?
All right? Good to see you.

Good to see you.

You guys ready?
Ready.

We got him an atm hat.
You got to put this on.
Make sure it fits.

You ready, jacobi?
Come on.
Jacobi: ready.

Cover those eyes.
All right.

Let's do it.

This is what you been saving for
Your whole life.

Well, half your life.

Whoa!

Oh, my gosh!

That is the coolest thing
I have ever seen.

A tv shark tank.

That's so cool.

That is going to look
Like heaven in my room.

This is super cool.

Are those all sharks?

Brett: couldn't really have
A big shark tank

Because, obviously,
You know,

The funds were
A little bit limited

And sharks can be
Hard to care for.

So, we wanted to kind of
Give you the shark feel.

So, look, we put the shark fin
Right on top.

We gave you fish
That have shark names.

Bala shark.

We have a rainbow shark.

We have an albino shark.

And that was actually
A real tv.

We actually stole it
From one of our employees

When he wasn't looking.

Don't tell him.

I love you, tv.
That's like you
With the tv, brett.

Brett: that's right.
[ laughs ]

I tell you -- I never seen a kid
Hug a tank before.

Me, neither.

Does this thing
Come with a remote?

[ laughs ]

No, you were about $8 short
On a remote.

Oh, well.

At least I can have this
In my room.

There you go. That's it.

You know,
Brett and I love kids.

And when this kid walked in here
And he wanted this fish tank,

It just kind of
Went to our hearts.

So, we decided
To go the extra mile.

Maybe by building this tank,

We can create another generation
Of fish lovers.

Thumbs up.
All right.

Two thumbs.

Jacobi got his new tank,

So now redneck can pay back chuy
For donating his tv.

A new flat-screen?

I'd say chuy made out
Pretty well.

Now we got to get the truck
Loaded up with the houdini tank

And get to hollywood for
The install at the magic castle.

Redneck: there he is!

Neil was able
To convince the club

To let us in without wearing
Suits while we did the install.

Brett: yeah, good thing
'cause redneck,

He's only got
A three-piece camouflage suit.

Let's unload it.
Let's go.

Beautiful.
Ready?

One, two.

You got that, "B"?
Got it.

It ain't going anywhere.
Just go straight down.

Got it.

Push.

There you go.

You didn't have to wrap
Your date up.

[ laughs ]

[ laughs ]

Wayde:
Now, that's houdini.

All right, let's get
The plumbing fixed,
And let's stand it up.

Wayde: bring it in.
Go until it touches the stand.

Guys, the plumbing's
Very important down here.

This whole archive of all the
Magician stuff that's in here,

The library,
This stuff's what, brett?

They're irreplaceable.

And honestly, you don't want to
Piss any of these magicians off

By ruining their books...
They'll make you disappear.

...They'll make your
Whole family disappear.

[ chuckles ]

Are you gonna tighten
This up?
Yeah.

Wayde:
How we doing, red?

Redneck: you tell me.

You're looking pretty good
In there.

I didn't know two dummies
Could fit in that tank.

Oh, funny.

Now we just have to get
The facade in place,

And then we can fill this tank
With water.

Let's unwrap it, guys.

Have brett stand in here.
It's a kissing booth.

We wouldn't make no money.

I got to say it again. Stage
House did another great job.

This facade looks great.

All right, let's go.
Let's get the water in.
Let's get it filled.
Let's roll, guys.

Wayde: when filling a tank,

All the plumbing's closed to
Make sure the tank holds water.

Then we slowly open up
Each individual valve

So we don't put a lot
Of pressure on the filters.

How's everything looking
Down there?

So far, so good.

You open all the valves
Yet?

All of them are open
Except the two here.

Well,
Why don't you open them

'cause we're about eight inches
Away from the top of the tank?

Hey, dude. There's water
Coming out the corner.

Right there. Look.
Dude, there's a leak.

There's a leak right here.
It's a valve!

Dude, it's got a leak.
Oh, whoa! Whoa!

Shut the water down!
Shut the water off!

Redneck:
Run, dummy! Run!

There he is.
There he is.

I don't see anything.

So, we're at the magic castle

Installing the houdini tank
For neil patrick harris.

And, man, we just blew a valve.

There's a leak in here.
Brett:
Oh, whoa! Whoa!

Dude, go shut the water off!

Redneck:
Run, dummy! Run!

Brett: the room where
We're installing the tank

Is right next to their library.

There's hundreds of ancient,
Mystical texts in there.

It's not like you could replace
Them at your local bookstore.

It's a ball valve.
Let me close
These library doors.

Who tightened
The ball valves?
Hold on. Hold on.

Dude, if that library gets wet,
We're done.

Dude, get the towels.
I got them. Watch out.

They're right here.
Dude,
I'm holding the valve.

It's still leaking, dude.
Stop it.

Get me the wrench.
Hurry up.

Where's the wrench?
Get the wrench.

Hurry up. Come on.
Here.

Clamp it right here.

Brett: we have to shut off
The hose, fix the valve,

And sop up all the water
Before it gets into the library.

240 gallons?
That's a lot of water.

Do me a favor --
Reach in here and tighten this.

Right here.

Twist it right here.
It goes that way.

Turn that way. Right there.
A little bit more. Hold on.

Hold on. A little bit.
Right there. Right there.

[ grunts ]

Phew. That was close.

How bad's this floor?
Is it flooding?

It's all right. No.
It's good.

Brett: we were able to stop
The water and fix the leak,

And thankfully the water
Didn't get into the library.

We would have had to pull a
Few rabbits out of our hat
To get out of that one.

Now with the leak stopped
And the valve tightened,

[sighs]
It's time to get the fish in.

What do we got?
Here we go.

We got some really, really cool
Barracudas in here, dude.

This one's a sabertooth.

Sabertooth barracuda.

Dude. Hold on. Hold on.
Look at that guy, dude.

All right. Beautiful.

Look at the teeth on him.
That's awesome.

He's got that puggy face
Like you.

Look at him go.

This guy is rare.

It's a blue-eyed
Plecostomus.

Look at him.
Look at him, dude.
Oh, he's big.

Look at his blue eyes.
Whoa.

Like frank sinatra.

Next one. What do we got?
Another barracuda?

Yeah.
This is a red tail.

This guy, he's a swamp eel
From asia, dude.

Look at him, dude.

And we are finished.

All right. Let's do this.
Let's get this thing
Ready to show to neil.

He's gonna be here
Any minute.

Today's a big day.
I'm feeling good.

The tank looks great.
The fish are doing great.

I think it's gonna be
A great day.

I think we look great.
Definitely.

[ camera shutter clicks ]

There he is.
There he is.
Hey.
There it is.

Wow!

It's perfect.

That's phenomenal.
It's really phenomenal.

That, like, is a perfect
Houdini rendering.

How did you do that?

Brett: we actually had
One of wayde's friends

Who does a lot of the
Work in hollywood --
He made that for us.

No way.
Yeah.

Whoever made the houdini
Sculpture did a great job.

It's just corpse enough.

Killer job.
Pardon the pun.

He's got, like, bubbles
Coming out of his nose,

Out of his mouth.

Nose and mouth.
Love it. Love it.

He's got his feet hanging out of
The top with the cuffs on them.

Cuffs on them.
That's great.

That straitjacket,
That's a real straitjacket.

We actually got it from
The houdini magic shop.

I can't believe no one's
Thought of this idea before.

The houdini "Water torture cell"
Aquarium.

What about the fish?

So, we have five different kinds
Of fish in here.

It's all freshwater fish.

Nice.

We wanted
Mean-looking fish.

We wanted it
To really feel like

Houdini was in this trick

With these mean, aggressive,
Tough-looking fish.

We have two different types
Of barracudas.

Wow.
One is called a red tail.

It's scary.
Yeah.

We have the vampire one,
Which is a sabertooth.

Wow.
[ laughs ]

You see these guys that
Are in schools up here --
They look like piranha?
Yeah.

They're called
Spotted metynnis.

And there's an eel?

It's called a swamp eel.

And they can get maybe
Three or four feet.

They actually disappear
Once in a while,

So he does like
A houdini trick.

How do you mean
"Disappear"?

Well, he'll hide
Or burrow himself.

They can actually
Come out of the water

For a little while, too,
Which is really cool.

Like an escape.

They're escape artists,
So we got the lids on there

So we don't have to worry
About him escaping.

And at the bottom,
We saved the best for last.

There's a really rare fish
In here -- the blue-eyed pleco.

Ooh.

And he's the big guy in
The tank, so we named him neil.

So, he's got blue eyes,
And he's the big guy.
Nice.

So, he's the president.

That's right.
He's the president of the tank.

I love it.
Neil the blue-eyed pleco.

He cleans up
Everybody's mess.

I tend to do the same.

See? There you go.
[ laughter ]

I know the feeling.
Yeah.

I think if, you know,
Houdini was around today,

This is stepping up his game

By doing it with these kind
Of fish inside the tank.

Oh, this is a destination here
In the castle now.

We're gonna have to put this
On the actual map

When you first come in.

I cannot wait to see
The reaction of our members

When they come
And see this.

Neil: the spirit of houdini
Lives in the tank.

Definitely.

Since neil loved the tank,

There's only one thing left
To do.

Yeah.

Since he gave us
Such a hard time

About our fashion sense when we
First got to the magic castle,

It's time to model a little
Atm formal wear, baby.

You guys did amazing.
Look at you.

Let's see. Turn around.
Let's see the whole --

The whole --

Wait.

Wayde: you like that, huh?
You see that?

"Like that"?
What is that?

That's our logo.

You got it bedazzled?
We represent, you know?

And we also wanted to thank you
For us being part of this.

Brett: thank you very much.
Hey, it's my pleasure.

You guys want a membership?

I'll give you memberships
To the club.

That would be awesome.
Definitely.

Yeah, so come.
Anytime you're in l.A., come.

It was great being a part
Of this. Thank you.

We'll see you guys.
All right.

Cheers.
We had to tag him.
And you know what?

Absolutely. He's now an
Honorary member of the atm club.

Wayde: there you go.

Hey, he's part of the club.
Look.

[ both laugh ]
I love it.

What do you think he's
Gonna say when he sees
That logo on his back?

I think he's gonna be honored
That he's part of the atm crew.

I think so, too.
[ laughs ]

Dude.
What?

I don't know about you,

But earlier I wanted to tell you
It's a little spooky in here.

You know what?
I've been feeling the same way.

And you know what else
I've been feeling?
What?

Like someone's been watching me
The whole time.
Dude,
I feel the same way, too.

I know. It's crazy.

[ evil laughter ]

Brett: this week,
We made two freshwater tanks,

Each with a little bit of magic.

For jacobi, we built
An over-the-top starter tank

With eight gallons of water

And stocked it
With three different varieties

Of freshwater fish
With cool shark names.

For neil patrick harris
And the magic castle,

We built a 240-gallon,
Freshwater tank.

It weighed 2,000 pounds,

And it was stocked
With ferocious-looking fish,

Including
A three-foot swamp eel.

These guys would make houdini
Get out of that straitjacket

Faster than you could say,
"Abracadabra."

Wayde: we have our own houdini
Here at atm.

Somebody's using magic tricks
To break into my office.

But this time,
I got a hidden camera,

And I'm gonna find out
Who it is.

Brett.
What?

Heather!
What?

Come here. Get in here.
Agnes! Redneck!

Why is he yelling?

Agnes:
Why are you always yelling?
Really.

What is going on?

Wayde: I'm gonna tell
You what's going on.
Everybody get in here.

First of all, someone's
Been coming in my office,

And I'm getting
Really pissed off.

None of us has been
In your office.

Why is it every time I get back
My door's open?

No one's been
In your office.

I'm telling you they have.

It wasn't me.

Dude, it's not me.

It's not me.

100,000%, it's not me.

I put a camera in here.
And I got it.

And we're all gonna watch it
And find out who it is.

Okay.
Heather: okay.

That's tiger right there.
Brett:
Yeah, look at him.

He jumped up.
Look at that.

Why do you lock the cat
In your office?

Agnes:
Why is the cat in there?

Redneck: what's he doing?
Oh, look at him.
Look at him.

Oh, hold up.
Look at that.

Yeah. Look at him.
Look at him.
Oh, there he goes.

Oh.

[ laughter ]

Did you see that?

He opened the door!

And you blamed us?

Apology?
You guys thought I was lying.

You thought we were lying.

Hey. Did someone
Break into my office?

Not us.
Well, he broke out.

[ laughter ]

It's true.
We got a cat burglar.

[ laughter ]

Honestly?

You owe an apology.

You guys are all lucky.

You owe an apology.
You guys are all lucky.

Brett: to watch highlights

And check out deleted scenes
From "Tanked," go to...
