dedicated in 1954, the city council declared a symbol of community health and harmony.

They didn't say anything about war. They didn't say anything about 200 millimeter cannons.

They certainly didn't say anything about the rogue one tank.

Now NASCAR wants to take this bulldozer and plow through this place of peace and make it a place of death.

They want to put up a factory to build war machines right here on this spot.

Are we going to allow this to happen?

Look, if you want to save this park, you've got to make your voice heard.

A right to the man who has the swing vote on this project, Senator Joe Calhane.

Tell him how much you care.

Tell him how you intend to campaign against him if he votes to appropriate the fund.

Believe me, believe me, we can beat this man if we're united, but don't take my word for it.

Listen to someone who knows him better than anyone, the senator's own daughter, Laura Calhane.

I want to thank you all for coming out here today, not just for the sake of this park

but for the sake of world peace.

What can we do to convince the powers that be that this Rogue One tank is not necessary?

The number of jobs this factory will create is so small compared to the number of lives

The rogue one is capable of blowing away, destroying this park to make way for more death machines is a crime, and we can't let that happen.

Oh, good man, Woodman, but you're fairly lacking in one quality, patience.

He's just building credibility, and only strength is our hand in the long run.

We can stop this arms appropriation, and we can stop others like it.

But we can only do that if we work together.

Every one of us has to write, call, send a telegram, take out an ad.

Do whatever it takes to convince Washington, no more weapons, no more wars!

- Come on, Ricky.

- How you doing?

- Hello, Ann.

- I want you to meet Sarah.

- Hi, Sarah.

- Hi.

- How are you?

- Fine.

- Nice piece, huh?

- She's pretty amazing.

She's amazing and pretty. She's a tenor, right?

She is, huh?

I mean, on a scale of one to eleven, you'd be an eleven, of course.

Hey, Ricky.

Maybe you should think about taking up politics.

I'm sorry, what?

Thank you. Okay, bye.

Yeah.

I've got to talk to you.

Not here, not now.

You remember me, don't you?

We met in Washington at one of your father's committee meetings last year.

I don't...

Well, you look familiar.

My name is Daniel Thurman.

I'm a project engineer on the Rogue One for NASCOR.

Look, can you meet me at the six o'clock at the Velvet table?

I guess, but...

If I'm not there, call the police.

The police?

Hey, Laura.

Mr. Farley. I wanted to thank you. Your article really helped bring out a crowd.

No, no. Don't thank me. I came to see you.

Oh, uh, Laura Callaghan. This is Alan Tyler.

- Hi. Hi. - Sam Parker.

- Hi. Hi. - This is Jeremy Saldino.

- And Sarah... - Baker.

- Baker. - Hi.

And, uh, Ricky Adler.

- Hi. - Hi.

Farley, we've had the picnic. Do you and Laura want to join her?

- Oh, yeah, we've got plenty. - Uh, sure, I'd love to.

Great!

That'd be real nice.

Well, I got a deadline. So I...

I'll see y'all later. Have a good meal, all right?

Ricky, don't, uh, forget what I said about taking a policy.

What did he mean by that?

I don't know.

You must travel a lot being a senator with your daughter and everything.

Not too much. I mean, my dad's always off somewhere,

but I mostly just stay home with Mom and go to school like everybody else.

Where do you go to school?

Birmingham.

Oh, I would think you go to a private school.

I used to. But the kids always used to hold me personally responsible for my dad's politics, so I like public school better.

How does your dad feel about you making speeches against the tanks?

I don't know.

How can you not know?

Well, my dad's been in Washington for two months. And when he calls, we just talk about school and Mom.

He misses you a lot and doesn't want to get into an argument on the phone.

My dad does that too.

Ritchie.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm just thinking about something.

How could you call Laura something?

How does she know I was thinking about her?

It doesn't take a psychic.

- I like it.

- Your eyes have been glazed over since you met her.

- You're kidding.

- She really's stuck on her.

Why don't you bring her some flowers, something like that?

- I'm not stuck on her.

And the last thing I do is bring her a flower.

How old-fashioned can you get?

Sorry I'm late, I thought someone was following me.

What did you want?

I've got something for you, something that could shut down the tank project, but you've

got to swear not to tell anyone where you got it, not even your father.

All right.

What are these?

Those are technical memos from the Chief Project Engineer to the NASCOR Board of Directors.

What do they mean?

They show that there's a structural weakness in the Rogue One delivery system that could cause shells to veer off by as much as two miles.

That's like shooting off bombs with your eyes closed.

Why are you giving me this?

If two men want to try and kill each other, that's one thing.

But if two men try and kill each other and end up killing a bunch of innocent bystanders,

isn't that something else?

Would you be willing to meet with a reporter friend of mine?

- Mr. Farley? - Yeah.

Yeah.

What kind of verification do you have?

Okay.

I checked the signature on the memo here.

It's the chief engineer's signature on a trustee down at the Hall of Records.

This is what you were handwriting, expert.

Okay, but they look the same.

Half a point.

Then I checked with NASCAR personnel.

They tell me that Daniel Thurman has been an engineer there for 11 years.

Another half point.

That gives you a full point, but you're still short.

You know, Thurman tells me that he's certain there's even more damaging information on the Rogue One and the NASCORP computer.

He can't get to it.

Then doesn't do us any good, does it?

Like I told him, if he can't get to it, maybe I can.

You?

You know what a NASCORP is? Bounce your bones out of there and nothing's left.

I'm not going over to NASCORP.

Some friends of mine are.

Do you see enough for you?

- Hi. - Hi.

I was just in the neighborhood.

Forty-seven stories up.

Well, I saw your light on when I was flying by.

Oh, I picked these on the way.

While flying by.

Well, they were growing very tall.

They're beautiful.

Come in.

Sit down.

I'm glad to see you. I'm surprised to see you

You are?

Well, I mean you seem kind of sad at the park.

Sigh? Me?

It must have been something I ate

Well, can I get you something to drink?

No, no, that's right

Actually, I need to talk to you about something.

I need your help to get me into NASCAR

Mass Club? Why?

Well, Farla asked me to help him out on something.

It's about the rogue one tanking those memos she gave him.

Mm-hmm.

We need more information.

I thought maybe you could get your father to pull a few strings.

My father gets us in an Ascorp, then what?

An Ascorp stores all his data in the computer.

So?

So...

I know a thing or two about computers.

- Andriod City? - Herman will feel right at home.

- Hello, Miss Cobain. - Mr. Teller, thank you for arranging the tour.

- We're always happy to do it. Thank you for your father. He's a very fine man. - Thank you.

- Mr. Teller, this is the Canyon High Computer Club. - Hi.

- Welcome to NASCORP. - Thank you.

Now, considering the computer sophistication of young people nowadays, I doubt that very much we can show you that you're not already familiar with it.

Ah, nevertheless, you're welcome.

Oh, this Tamron here will show you around.

If you'll all just follow me, we'll get you fixed up. It's my debate.

Vodges? We don't need no stinky bodges.

If I had a grain of sand for every bit of data that we've compiled on the Rogue One project,

I could fill the Pacific Ocean and still have enough left over for Lake Michigan.

We're utilizing the latest in computer technology to ensure that this is the most well-designed

tank ever built.

How did they mess up so badly?

Computer's only as good as its programmer.

Do you have any games in there?

Well, actually, I'm told this computer plays an excellent game of chess.

Can we try it?

No.

Actually, you need an eight-letter password to get into this system, and I don't rate

one.

Come on.

Well, that concludes the tour unless you have any further questions.

Uh, yeah, gee, you know, I'd really like to have one of these NASCAR pins.

You know, with the logo on it and everything.

Oh, yes, please.

Could we all have one?

I'll get some from the public relations department.

Wait here.

I'm going to download the security program into a dummy backup file where I can get back

in and play around with it without alerting the system.

Then I can go home and have Ralph get me back into it.

Who's Ralph?

It's not a who.

It's a 64K homebrewed computer.

Homebrewed?

- What's your middle name? - What?

It'll be our secret password.

Oh, um, it's Altera, like the star.

My mom was into astronomy.

Beautiful name.

I always thought it was a bit much being named after a star.

Well, you could have been named Big Dipper.

There. We're all through it.

You are really something.

We'd better get out of here.

Here you are. Here's one for each of you.

Thank you.

Thanks. Thanks for doing it.

Thanks a lot.

The colors are so pretty.

Do they have Luke?

Yeah.

That one's Luke, and that one's Leia, surely, then.

What's so funny?

- Actually, that one's Luke and that one's Lena.

- You're kidding.

- No, you can tell by the tail fins.

- How'd you know?

- Well, when I was a kid,

my dad used to take me down to the Tropical Fister

all the time.

- Did he have an acquaintance?

- He always wanted one,

but he didn't have time to take care of it,

so we'd just go look.

- Unless Mr. Malone,

- Do you know me and being out of town so often?

- Yeah, I do.

- You and my dad's always away soon.

I mean, my parents aren't together anymore.

I wish you'd live nearby so I could see them sometime now.

- Well, my parents might as well not be together,

This is where we see my dad.

You know, Richie, we've got a lot in common.

- Fast word at a time, Biffy.

- Oh, he's got a key.

I can't believe you can do this.

I've switched your password for one of theirs.

But you should unlock the system for us.

Go ahead, you enter it.

We're good! We're good!

Yeah! Look!

♪ Mr. Baton-Rice-Ding! Mr. Baton-Rice-Ding! ♪

Charlene, I'll be right this minute!

♪ Mr. Baton-Rice-Ding! Mr. Baton-Rice-Ding! ♪

- I'm sorry. Don't worry about her. - I'm not.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, I would like you to all just take a look at this headline, please.

Rogue one tank, I'm a saint.

NASCAR computer claims charges by mystery engineer.

Mystery engineer, what?

At first we all thought this thing was just a big joke.

Why would the Gazette print some scurrilous lies

about NASCAR?

And then I read the article myself,

and I saw who the author was.

Mr. Llewellyn Farley, a man who was on record

as opposing every single one of NASCAR's expansion plans.

Not that Mr. Farley didn't do his homework, mind you,

but he just didn't check his date.

You see, the information referred to in this article

concerns a design problem,

which we corrected four years ago.

Furthermore, we have videotape proof

that Mr. Farley and his accomplice, Ms. Laura Calhane,

used minors to illegally gain entry

into NASCAR's computer system.

As far as I can go on this right now, until our legal department has had an opportunity

to decide just what action will be taken in this matter.

What about Folley's Nascorp source?

Yes, that's a good question.

Well, does Mr. Folley care to reveal his source?

Well...

You know, I don't know how you pulled this one off, Mr. Keller, but it's not going to

work.

I have memos signed by your chief engineer dated two weeks ago.

Oh, tell me, did they happen to be smudged with the sun tan oil, Mr. Farley?

You see, the alleged author of this memo is due back tomorrow after a one-month vacation in the West Indies.

You know, I'm really sorry this had to happen, Mr. Farley, and I'm ashamed for you.

you know one time I used to have a lot of respect for your work now ladies and

gentlemen if I may move to a more positive note I would like to introduce

our new vice president in charge of marketing mr. Bill Firesdell William

thank you mr. Keller well I guess for openers I'd just like to say that feels

great to be aboard the NASCAR team

Come on, Clark.

Hello, Carson.

Hungry to run?

No, I don't have much of an appetite.

Oh, I heard.

You made the afternoon news.

I got set up.

NASCorp, they knew that Calhane was sitting on the fence

on the final appropriation, so they used me

to discredit the opposition.

But why would they want to generate negative publicity?

Simply to have the pleasure of proving it wrong.

The mere act of raising the issue could only cause problems.

Well, that's exactly what they did.

Why, tell me.

That's what I'm hoping that you could help me out with.

I left my crystal ball at home.

Well, I got a couple of ideas

I wish there was something I could do I've already exhausted my nascar contacts

No one has even an inkling as to why you were victimized

Well, if they're willing to raise questions on the rogue one, they must really believe that there's nothing wrong with it. So let's roll that out

Maybe it's the factory or

Or the park

You just let me finish my lunch I'll make further inquiries this afternoon

And think of it I am gonna hurry

Somebody set us up, Richie, and I led you right into it.

I really don't know, but it could have been Laura.

You're crazy.

You're crazy.

Hey, no, I'm sorry, Richie.

I like her, too.

No, no, just listen to her, now.

She's the one that put me together with Thurman.

She's the one that got you into NASCAR.

You really think that, don't you?

You think Laura set us up?

You're wrong, Farley.

You're wrong.

Get away from me.

I don't want to talk to you.

Hey, Richie.

Hey, Richie, come on.

I'm... I... I'm sorry!

You're getting predictable in your old age, Farley.

Meaning what?

This is the same place you came last time you were depressed.

Says I'm depressed.

You're here, aren't you?

Like I say, you're getting predictable.

I'm really not in the mood, okay, Quinn?

I just wanted to, uh, offer a helping hand to my favorite brother-in-law.

Last time somebody offered me something, I made the mistake of accepting.

Look, Farley, if somebody sets you up...

What do you mean, "if"?

Just bring me some proof.

I'll jump on these guys so fast it'll stick to their hair.

I'll make their heads spin around.

I'll make their face pucker up and fall off.

Thanks.

They really got you good, didn't they?

Hey, when are you going to tell me something I don't know?

What a sucker.

I have to ask you something.

I don't know how exactly.

Why don't you just try asking?

Farley suggested it.

I don't believe it.

Farley thinks that.

I don't want you to deny that I set you up.

- Is that what you want?

- No, you don't have to.

I know you didn't do it.

- Then what do you want?

- I just wanted to tell you about it.

- 'Cause you weren't really sure, right?

- Because I wanted you to know how much it hurt me

when he said it.

I love you, Laura.

I love you too, Ritzy.

This is a geological report dated 1953.

That's the year before the park was built.

That's why they chose to build the park.

The land was originally slated for a railroad terminal.

road terminal but it wasn't stabled.

What's wrong with it?

The L.A.

River ran right back through the middle of it until the city diverted in 1934.

The place is an underground bog.

If Mastrop tries to build a factory there it could sink faster than the Titanic.

But they got to have building permits and there must have been a survey.

The city contracted the job to a company called Simmons.

Simmons Geological Services.

Yes?

Ritchie, Lou's here.

Hello, Ritchie.

What do you want?

No, no. Sorry, we had an argument.

Um, why don't you let us talk alone?

Hey Richie, I'm sorry I was wrong.

I can prove I was wrong.

I thought you might want to give me a hand.

What can I prove to you?

I need you to get back into the NASCAR computer

access Kellers file. They didn't find my trapdoor. Great. It may take a while to

access Kellers personal files if they're coded. But you can do it, right? No

problem. These NASCAR computer technicians are

months behind the time. Okay, what we're looking for is money paid to a Simmons

- Geological services. - Got it.

- I pointed, baby. - Dad!

- I didn't know you were trying to tear. - You just pointed.

- Oh, and I always? - Oh, I've missed you.

You know, I tried to get back home last month, but we went into an emergency session on his arms deal and we're still trying to wrestle it to the floor.

Oh, she's fine. She's had some charity oxen all day.

How would you like to go out with a very distinguished older man, just the two of us?

Well, great, I'll get my coat.

It took me a while, but I found it.

More than a quarter of a million dollars

paid to Simmons Geological Services.

Sure is a lot of geology.

This miscellaneous expense account has got to be a slush fund.

Pay off money.

Wait a minute.

That's Laura's father.

Uh oh, $150,000.

It's a nice little campaign contribution.

Are you going to tell Laura?

- We're in brazen of you, Big Woodman.

They have my kiddos online again.

- I know, they tried to trace his access code

for 20 minutes.

- I thought I told you to flush out his backwards.

- We tried, we couldn't find it.

- This company's in deep trouble, financial and otherwise.

If we don't build that factory and stop producing tanks,

we're gonna go under.

We haven't got time to wait for approval

of another construction site.

We have to wait, we're gonna go under for sure.

Now he's into the miscellaneous account.

Probably got a hard copy by now.

You get to the folly, we're like sitting ducks on a pond.

You'll find that kid.

Make sure whatever he's got never sees daylight.

- What do I do with him?

- I don't care if he ever sees daylight again either.

- He didn't say.

You might try the Gazette or Laura's,

Laura Colhane's house.

It's on the corner of Greenleaf and Whitson.

- Thank you very much.

- You're welcome.

- Oh, whom shall I say was calling?

- Just tell him Hank's from the computer store.

- Okay. - Thanks.

- Oh, hi, how are you guys?

Come on in.

Come here.

- Good woman, what have you been doing here?

- Oh, you mean the man from the computer store?

- Not from the computer store, he's from now court.

- Why would he lie?

- Where's Ritchie?

- I think he's either over at...

- Thanks.

- What's the matter?

- There's something I have to tell you.

Well, I hope it's better news than the last time.

Keller's got this slush fund.

So?

It's a record of a big contribution to your dad's campaign.

Wait, are you accusing my dad of taking a bribe too?

He wouldn't do that.

If the rogue one gets spilled, it's because he believes in it.

it. I'm just telling you what I know. I love you Laura. I don't want to do anything to

hide your back. That's the rule of my father. He may not know anything about it. It doesn't

matter. It'll be a scandal. It'll wreck his whole career. But you can't tell Farley. But

this is the key to stopping the whole project. If you love me, you won't tell anyone. Promise

love me. I do love you Laura. But how can I make you a promise like that. You've got

to. I can't. You don't love me.

You can show yourself out.

Why so nervous?

What's wrong with you?

Mr. Marsh, I need your help.

Farley seems to have given you kids the impression

that I'm some sort of service organization

for wayward teenagers.

I don't have anyone else to go to.

Don't flatter me, boy.

You've got something to say, sis!

I have this information that Farley needs to prove he was framed by Nascore.

If he makes it public, it'll destroy someone who's very close to me.

They want me to save Farley without jeopardizing your friends.

Is that it?

Yes, sir.

Your generation doesn't seem to realize the sort of world we live in.

You can't have your cake and eat it all at the same time, it's simply...

Tell me about your friend.

I love her so much.

It's making me crazy.

How can I even think about withholding this information?

I can help Farley, save the park, catch the crooks all in one blow.

And then on the other hand, it'll devastate the girl I love and ruin her father.

Let me ask you a question.

question if this weren't your friend's father what would she advise you to do I

don't have any choice do I. But by the way I have great respect for Senator

a hand. How do you know little bird told me.

A little bird named Farley right now sprout.

Oh richie. No can't make it all a little bit crazy sometimes.

Most of us survive though.

Hi.

Hi.

Are you all right?

Hey, come on, tell me all about it.

Was I wrong to speak against the tanks?

Absolutely not.

I'd be very disappointed in you if you believed in something just because I did.

I'm very proud of you because you took a position.

The tanks were only the start, then we tried to save the park and then NASCORP tried to

frame Farley and then...

Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'm not following you.

The Ripsy found a slush fund in the NASCORP computer.

Honey, most corporations have those, they're not strictly legal, but then again they're

not a capital offense either. He says there was a hundred and fifty thousand

dollar pay off to your campaign committee. Well? I'll have to look into it. There, this is me! That's some Senate hearing!

The truer isn't it I honestly don't know I

But if it is I'll get to the bottom of it I promise you

Thank you for telling me

Yeah, take a minute when the finish wrapping them up that's what won't be able to get you out of this one

You sure you're all right. Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks

Look next time you feel like playing detective. Don't worry lieutenant. I didn't plan on it happening good. Don't

You don't have to hang around here anymore if you don't want

Okay, see you later

What a kid

So what brings y'all down here well

I just wanted to thank you mr. Farley for finally getting and printing the real story. Thank you dad

okay, he's the one that rooted out the person on his staff who was accepting the bribes and

Thank him again for me for the exclusive

Well, it's good to see the killer is behind bars

At least he won't be bribing anyone else for a while and best of all we saved the park. Yeah, what's this? We?

Speaking of we we're heading for the beach you guys want to go

No

Well, we have some

Things we we're gonna do thanks anyway. Yeah, thanks. We'll see you later

I don't believe that with a computer in her it ends up with the girl.

Do you still love me even after I threw you out?

I guess so.

What do you mean you guess so?

It's just one thing about you that bothers me.

What?

Well, it's your middle name.

Maybe if you changed it to some of the star-like fatal genes.

Why would you like to go for a swim?

Oh no, if I go, you're going to go.

No!

You're a rat.

Rats are cute.
