Now, why is it the bank can
never give you the right key?

Anything I can help
you with, young fellow?

No, not at the
moment, thank you.

What do you think you're doing?

My job. I'm a Medfly Inspector.

You have some evidence
of infestation. See in here?

Looks like I may
have to shut you down.

(SHUSHING)

Can't we work something out?

Are you talking about a bribe?

(CAR ENGINE STARTING)

Stop him!

Stop that guy!

(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

MAN: You go that way. Grab him!

A.J.: What went wrong?

RICK: The steering column relocked.
I couldn't turn the damn wheel.

Hey, it's a classic
car, you jerk!

Will you get out of here?

Well, you're not worried about
a little ding like that, are you?

Come on. I'll take it
down to TJ tonight.

Manuel will give you a discount.

I'll even get him to buff
up your upholstery for you.

Hey, look on the bright side. At
least we're not doing a divorce case.

Oh, come on.

Look, I'll even buy you a
chocolate milkshake, okay?

Oh. Excuse me.

That's all right, come on in. You're
just in time to meet our new client.

My brother, Rick.
Mrs. Jean Edmunds.

Hi. Hi.

Chocolate milkshake?

Oh, yes, that sounds
good. Thank you.

Okay.

It's about my husband.

I think he's seeing
another woman.

He's been coming
home late after work.

And then, when he
is home, he's distant.

Very secretive
about his phone calls.

Mrs...

Edmunds. Edmunds, may I
give you a piece of advice?

Go home right now
and forget about it.

Oh, well, you don't understand.

Oh, yes, we do, Mrs. Edmunds.
We understand all too well.

Let me give you a little scenario
of what happens in a case like this.

You hire us and we
become a part of your life.

RICK: Infidelity is a pest.

All right, now, you got a pest you
wanna get rid of, who do you call?

You call an exterminator,
right? That's us.

Oh, well, I don't want to
get rid of Kyle. I love him.

(EXCLAIMS)

I just want to find out
if he's having an affair.

You shouldn't worry about
the occasional termite.

If the house is solid, it's
not gonna cave in on you.

The point is, we will be sticking
closer to your husband than his hatband.

We will know more
about his life than you do.

Well, maybe so, but...

And then, there are
always the pictures.

This is the point where a lot of
people start to get really queasy.

Hundreds of pictures,

each one of them open to
literally thousands of interpretations.

Yeah, and don't forget about
the electronic surveillance.

Now, that's where we're
really state-of-the-art.

Last year, we took first place

at the Phoenix Private
Investigators convention.

Oh, yes. Yes.

And, of course, we'll
be listening to you, too.

We have to monitor all of
your husband's phone calls.

So, which is more important
to you, Mrs. Edmunds?

Your peace of mind or privacy?

Peace of mind.

I want you to find out if my
husband is having an affair.

Oh, well, look
on the bright side,

we could be doing a repo.

(CHUCKLES SARCASTICALLY)

That's him.

Yeah.

(CAR ENGINE STARTING)

"The Owl and the
Pussy-Cat went to sea."

Yeah. Up periscope.

(CAMERA CLICKING)

Now, don't worry.
Everything's gonna be all right.

Your wife really
doesn't know anything?

Nothing. I told her I've
been working late at the office

to keep up with the
paperwork, That's all.

BOY: Hey, what
are you guys doing?

We're from Earthquake
Management,

and there's been some
seismic rumblings in this area.

We're trying to
measure their intensity,

so we can tell if there's
gonna be an earthquake or not.

Who are you guys trying to
kid? That's not a seismograph.

That's a parabolic microphone.

You guys are listening
in on something.

How would you like to listen to the
sound of your head going "bong"?

Get rid of him.

Okay, I'll tell you what.

I'll give you two bucks to
get out of here and keep quiet.

Five.

Two.

Okay, two to keep me quiet.

And now, three more
if you want me to leave.

Phew!

Mercenary little...

RICK: Hi. Hi.

You got anything good there?

Everything I got is good.

Yeah, but what do
you got in the basket?

Well, see, I got a turkey with
avocado whip on caraway seed bread,

and here's some cream cheese

with pickle on
seven-fiber whole wheat.

Or I have some yogurt
with some crushed Vitamin C

and rose hips mixed in.

Let me see what else...

You don't by any
chance have in there

a bologna and cheese on white
bread with a little mustard on it, do you?

No, I don't.

I didn't think so.

Hi. Hi.

How much for everything?

You mean everything?

Yeah. The basket,
coin-changer, everything.

$50 cover it?

WOMAN: Yeah.

The projection I've got
on Sur La Mer shows that

we'll have
half-occupancy by June.

Now, that's not gonna help us.

We're gonna need 85%
deposits right when we open.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Howdy. I'm from
Snacks After Dark.

It's a new service, just got
started for people that work late.

I got some really
good stuff here.

Anybody hungry? Claire?

No, thanks. No, no.

Well, what do you got?

Ooh, I have got this fantastic

turkey and avocado whip on
whole-wheat bread that is just dynamite.

And let's see what else.

I got a dill pickle and
cream cheese on rye bread.

I just had one of those
and they are far out.

I'll have the turkey
and avocado whatever.

You will?

Oh. yeah, sure, I got
one of those right here.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Hello.

Mrs. Edmunds? A.J. Simon.

Oh, yes.

It's 9:26. Do you know
where my husband is?

Yes, as a matter of fact I
do. He's in the office, working.

Oh.

Who's he with? Claire Hipple?

Is that the redhead?

Yeah. She's the company's
accountant. She's there, isn't she?

Yes, she is.

I knew it.

Well, so is his partner, Victor.
They're all three working together.

Mrs. Edmunds, are you sure
you want us to keep on with this?

I mean, we're gonna have to take
it further and further down the river.

You take it as far down the
river as you have to, Mr. Simon.

Even if you follow the river as
far as it empties into the ocean.

Okay.

Any good pictures yet?

Nothing incriminating.

Oh. Well, keep digging.

Right.

She wants us to keep digging.

I get the feeling
she's enjoying this.

(DISTORTED) How much longer
do you think this is all gonna go on?

You can't rush into something like
this, You know how they operate.

Everything has to be letter-perfect
or we're gone, We're dead.

Well, looks like they're gonna
do some work at her place.

She brought the books.

It's a good cover.

Hi. Hi.

I'm taking a survey
and I... Oops.

Can you hold that
for me for a moment?

This will only
take a minute here.

Uh-oh.

I was supposed to ask you the
question before I gave you the book.

Well, here, you ready?

Do you like to watch TV or
would you rather read a book?

I'm really not interested.

You're not?

Well, sir? Sir, how about you?

Would you, would you
rather watch television

(CAMERA CLICKING) or
would you rather read a book?

Neither. Thanks.

Well, aren't you interested in The
Big Book of World War I Biplanes?

Sorry.

That was a bit before
my time. Thanks.

Sorry.

Oh, okay. Well...

Thank you. This is my first day.

You'll get better
at it, I'm sure.

Oh, thank you.

Well, bye.

Bye.

(SIGHING)

(CAR ENGINE STARTING)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Just a minute.

Hi. Hi.

Kyle gone?

He just left.

I'm so scared.

Don't be.

Don't be. Everything's
gonna work out just fine.

Oh, look at that. There's
nothing going on there.

They're just
business associates.

Do they act like they're
just business associates?

No, they act like
something's going on.

JANET: Hello? Anybody home?

Hi.

Hi. I got your message.
You wanted to see me?

Well, we didn't just
want to see you, no.

We want to take you to a party.

Yeah.

A nice party.

If you're from the area, then you've
seen the other units that are available.

Well, I think the landscaping's
going to be quite beautiful, and this...

It sure is one
swell party, all right.

What's wrong? Free booze,
free food, a chance to hobnob

with all the beautiful people.

A.J., you brought me
here as part of a disguise,

so they wouldn't recognize
you and they wouldn't notice you.

Darling, I brought you here because
you're an extremely beautiful woman

and I like to be seen
with you. That's all.

If you'll excuse me. Excuse me.

I think we have
a warmer feeling.

Excuse me. Victor, I think it's time
we go up and speak to these folks a bit.

Sure. Excuse me,
I'll talk to you later.

Hello. Hello, could I have
your attention please?

I hope you're all having a
wonderful time. I know we are.

My name is Victor Farrell. This
is my partner, Kyle Edmunds,

And we'd like to
welcome all of you

to the grand opening
of Sur La Mer!

Thank you.

Thank you for coming.

We believe... Let's go'.!

That this represents
the most unique...

These people are criminals!

We're not gonna let them...

Wait just a minute!

Turn our beaches into concrete!

Just a minute!

MAN: Let's take
this guy with us.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

Kyle!

Free the beaches!

Kyle!

Free the beaches?

(CHATTERING ON POLICE RADIO)

No. Forget it. No way.

Why me?

You got the suit and
you've got the tie.

Have you had trouble
with any particular group?

You know, radicals, protesters?

Anybody who might have
had a reason to do this?

Well, there was one
group a few months ago,

after we completed a
beachfront development project

that stirred up some
adverse reaction.

Reaction?

Well, mild protests, crank
calls, that sort of thing.

Nothing very serious or
so we thought at the time.

Bunch of beach
bums, surfer types.

Did they go by any
particular name?

The Sons of the
Beach. Thank you.

RICK: What was the name of that
club you joined when you were 15?

A.J.: Chairman of the
Board. And we weren't a club,

we were sort of a movement,
an underground group.

More like an undertow.

Our motto was,

"Surfers unite.
Free the beaches."

"I like Ike."

"Give me that
old time religion."

Your turn.

"Tippecanoe and
Tyler too." There you go.

No, no, no, no, no, no.
Don't you remember, Mickey?

That was our slogan,
the Chairman of the Board.

Oh, yeah, I thought
it sounded familiar.

Say, you sure you don't want
one of these for old time's sake?

No, no, no, I remember
them. Thank you.

Put hair on your chest. Yeah.

Come to think of
it, takes it off, too.

You said it sounded familiar,
like maybe you heard it recently?

Yeah. Remember that guy
that was always eating glass?

Kona. Yeah, is he still around?

Yeah, him and a couple
muscleheads pick up a few bucks

renting and
repairing surfboards.

What's the name of the shop?

Cosmic Wavelength.

Do you happen to know
where they're located?

Where else?

Surfers unite. Free the beaches.

A.J.?

AJ.

What happened, man? I
mean, I cannot relate to all of this.

How you doing, Kona? All right.

I just caught a different ride.

Yeah, and that ride is called
middle class. Can you believe this?

What a wipeout, man. I
thought you were a cop.

Oh, that is bitching!

Hey, look at this board, man. I am bringing
this baby back from the grateful dead.

This dude is the only dude to
ride the nose through the pipeline

on those twenty-footers
after the '64 storm.

All right!

You did that?

I don't know what
he's talking about.

So, A.J., tell me, I mean,
who shot off your curls?

Well, I did. My brother and
I, we went into business.

We're investigators. We'd
like to ask you a few questions.

What do you want to know?

We already know, Kona.

Know what?

We already know it.

Our only question is,
where are you keeping him?

We've got him, man, so you
don't worry about it or nothing, huh.

Why did you take him? Why?

Why? Because we are still
trying to free the beaches.

If it ain't the hardhats dropping
condos on our heads, man,

it's the Navy parking their
battleships in the middle

of the best twelve
footers on the coast!

SURFER: That's
right, man, the Navy.

Yeah, the Navy don't surf.

That's right. The
Navy don't surf, man.

Well, I'll tell you, Kona, the way
you guys pulled this off was just...

It was pure genius is what it
was. I mean that. Pure genius.

A.J., come on, snatching
a guy off a destroyer?

How did you guys do that?

It was easy. We... Wait a
minute, why should I tell you?

Gee, A.J., I guess we just don't have
our connection down here anymore.

You know what I mean?
No. It's too bad, Kona.

We'll see you later, man. No hard
feelings, you know what I mean?

Take care.

Oh, and one more thing. You
tell the Navy, if they want him back,

they have to deal with us.

Pass that on to the Secretary.

We'll tell him. That is right!

Surfers Unite, man.

(ALL SHOUTING)

RICK: Surf is up.

IQs are down.

(SIREN WAILING) KONA:
Yeah. Let's get back to work, man.

(SURFERS CLAMORING)

SURFER 1: Hey, keep
your hands off me...

SURFER 2: I wanna... I
wanna speak to my lawyer.

I can't go through with this.
She's probably in pieces.

Well, think about
it. Think about it.

First, she thinks her
husband is having an affair,

then he gets kidnapped. Now, we
show up with the bill? No, forget it.

Give me that.

I got rid of the goldfish,
I buried the turtles

when Tiger got hit by a car.

Oh, hi. Come on in.

I should have listened to you from
the moment I walked into your office,

turned around, and
gone straight home.

Well, the client always
has to see for himself.

And I realize how
foolish I've been.

I should have trusted my
instincts instead of my suspicions.

I had a long talk
with Claire Hipple.

I am totally satisfied that she
wasn't having an affair with Kyle.

You know, Mrs. Edmunds,
in a case like this,

we frequently don't get to connect
all of the dots, but, I must say,

that was the way the
picture was developing.

Yep.

Oh.

Poor Kyle.

I only wish I could be with
him now, beg his forgiveness.

Oh, I'm sure the FBI is doing everything
they can to bring him back safely.

(EXCLAIMS)

The company
received a ransom note.

There you go. That's a start.

RICK: Was it from
the Sons of the Beach?

It wasn't signed.

How much did they want?

$300,000.

Oh, boy.

JEAN: I know.

And that's the problem. The FBI
has recommended that we don't pay.

Mmm-hmm.

They want to negotiate.

Try to keep contact, so they can try
to figure out who the kidnappers are.

Yeah. Well, that's sensible.

Yeah, but this is not
a sensible situation.

I'm gonna have to
play a few extra cards.

And you two are my aces.

Looks like this might
be a five-shake case.

A what?

Sherlock Holmes, remember?

The more difficult the case,
the more pipes he'd smoke.

Sherlock Holmes never had to
spend the night outside an adult motel.

Now, wait a minute,
Mrs. Edmunds was right.

This isn't any divorce case.

I know.

We've taken enough divorce pictures
in our time to fill a coffee table book.

Yeah, we could call it
Love Through A Keyhole.

Yeah, but these pictures are
different. These guys are in trouble.

Yeah, and whatever
the trouble is,

it got Edmunds kidnapped.

VICTOR ON TAPE: How much
longer do you think this is gonna take?

KYLE ON TAPE: You can't rush something
like this, You know how they operate.

Everything has to be letter-perfect
or we're gone, We're dead.

One of them is gone.

Well, obviously everything
wasn't letter-perfect.

And why is Claire Hipple keeping
those ledgers so close to her vest?

VICTOR: A couple
of months from now,

we're gonna be
laughing about all this.

I've already made arrangements
to get the ransom together.

We're gonna get him
back, Jeannie. You'll see.

Oh, we're so lucky to have you.

Oh, hey.

I love him, too. We're just gonna
have to be patient a little while longer,

until we hear from
the kidnappers

about what they want
us to do with the money.

The money isn't
a problem, is it?

No. No.

It just takes a little
while to free the funds.

If Kyle hadn't been so
wise about our investments,

it would be a little easier
to get at that money.

Why are you asking about
the money? What's wrong?

Look, Victor, you know
I've always made it a point

not to get involved
in Kyle's business.

I mean, I know about the trouble
you and Carol went through.

I felt real sad when
you two split up.

Me, too.

It's costing me a fortune.

Why are you worried
about the money?

Some detectives have been
asking whether the business

is having any
financial problems.

Or whether you two
are in any kind of trouble.

You know, with a
competitor or some clients.

Police detectives?

You're not going to
believe this, Victor.

Jean, I was married to Carol for
ten years, I'll believe anything. Try me.

I hired two private detectives.

I mean, before the kidnapping.

I'm so embarrassed.

I thought Kyle and Claire
were having an affair.

I know I shouldn't
have told you about it.

It's just that I feel so guilty.

Jean, you didn't by any chance

hire the same
people that Carol...

Oh, no, no, no, no.

These two guys are real
nice, and very thorough, too.

What'd you say their names were?

(DOORBELL BUZZING)

(EXCLAIMING)

I'm sorry. We don't want any.

Exactly right, and that's why
I'm here. Will Kill Pest Control.

Yeah, so?

Well, check your
lease, it's in there.

One time, every four months.

Couldn't you then at least come
back at a more reasonable hour?

Like tomorrow morning?

Anything you say, lady, but we're
talking about night-breeders, here.

Uh, yeah, okay. Well,
could you make it quick?

You got it.

Is that the kitchen?

Yeah.

I usually work alone.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Victor? VICTOR: Yes, hurry up.

What on earth is the matter?
You sounded terrible on the phone.

We got trouble. I need the books
as soon as you can finish them.

(PESTICIDE SPRAYING)
They're done and they're beautiful.

What's that?

Oh, it's just the exterminator.

At this hour?

Yeah.

Well, from what I
understand, you people are

lucky to get anything
done in this building

any time, day or night.

Now, I got the
kitchen in there for you,

and your dishes and your countertops
will be safe in just a few hours.

But there's a half-eaten banana
in there that's gonna have to go.

Will Kill?

"If it flies, it dies.
If it crawls, it falls."

Haven't you ever seen our
ads? We're on right after Johnny.

It's the one with the big,
giant plastic cockroach.

You know that sucker's
anatomically correct.

Are you about finished?

This room and I'm out of here.

Is that stuff dangerous?

0-17? If you're
an ant, it's fatal.

Just a little joke, there.

No, this stuff is
perfectly safe.

However, when I am spraying, you
might prefer to be in another room.

Could you just make it quick?

Absolutely. You got it.

A.J.: How'd it go?

Great. We even got a bonus.

Bonus?

Farrell.

VICTOR: What are
you doing out there?

Will you turn that thing
off? We're coming out.

I said, we're...

It's water. It's water!

They're gone.

"If it flies, it dies."

Well, then he had to be a cop.

No. They would've come busting
in here with 20 guys and a warrant.

Well, then who was it?

Detectives that Jean hired.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

MAN: I'll get it.

Yeah?

It's Farrell. Got
a little problem.

I want you to take
care of it right away.

You got it.

Okay, under 24E, I have $362.48.

How about you?

$362.48? Mmm-hmm.

Check. Okay.

MP, $1202.95.

$1202.95, yes.

MG... (YAWNING)

Oh, I'm sorry. We're
almost through.

Okay.

MG, $642.50.

No.

No.

Okay, how much are you off?

I have $5,422.16.

(CLACKING)

Okay, that's a
difference of $4,779.66.

(RICK SNORING)

Oh, Sleeping Beauty has
been a big help tonight.

A.J.: Flamed out
on the long division.

What were the last
figures he had on his page?

I don't know.

(LAUGHS)

A battleship and
two stick figures.

How much money
are we talking about?

We're talking about
a lot of money.

Could you round that off to
the nearest decimal point?

Oh, A.J., my accounting course
101 didn't cover juggling the books.

Can we just finish? We've
got one more here. It's 24H.

$791.47.

Uh... No.

$1,146.23.

Oh.

(SIGHING)

Sun's coming up.

Uh-huh!

A.J., we have two books
for the same company,

covering the same
time period, only one of

them shows that they're
operating in the red,

and the other one shows
they're almost breaking even.

Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm.

What's the difference?
Just a ballpark figure.

$286,742.54.

What?

286... Here.

Wake up. We got a
winner on table 32.

Well, I tell you, if my
company were in trouble,

badly in need of $286,000.

Well, I'd just call it an even
$300,000 and get it in cash.

Yeah, those books are gonna make
some hot reading down at the cop shop.

I don't like this, Rick.

I'm liking this less and less.

Come on, come on.

Move!

Go on, keep moving.

All right, tie them
up. Hands and feet.

A.J.: Is he all right?

Sure. He's just
resting. He got bored.

On the floor. Make
yourself comfortable.

Where's the rest
of your merry band?

You know the guys
that took Edmunds?

They were just
one-shots. I paid them off.

They're probably
back in Jersey by now.

Oh, gee, I didn't
know there was an

east-coast chapter of
the Sons of the Beach.

RICK: That's a pretty neat
little frame you got here.

Bet Farrell thought it up.

Yeah, I must admit,
that part worked real nice.

The cops yanking
those goofs off the beach,

interrogating them
for all those hours.

And they say, "Yeah, we're
the guys." Do you believe that?

About as long as the cops will.

The cops are dead-ended. You're
the only guys who got this far.

The Will Kill Pest Control, huh?

You guys are good.

It's pretty easy when you're
dealing with amateurs like Farrell.

Yeah, I know what you mean. In
our business, only the pros survive.

Over the long haul, yeah. But,
you know, every once in a while,

an amateur gets lucky.

Not this time.

No.

MANAGER: We're playing
a percentage here, Victor.

The FBI has an
outstanding record.

Over 90% of the
kidnappers in this country

are either caught or killed.

And the return of ransom
percentage is almost that high.

But the important thing
is that we get Kyle back.

Of course. But if we
don't get the money back,

arrangements will have to be made for
Fared to pay it back in due course of time.

I understand.

Good. I believe the ransom
note specified $300,000.

If you'll just sign here.

Thank you.

Thank you. Good luck.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thanks very much.

Are you gonna miss San Diego?

Mmm-mmm.

Are you?

What do you think?

(LAUGHING)

Victor?

Victor engineered
this whole thing?

Mmm-hmm.

Why?

Because juggling the
books wasn't enough for him.

RICK: Come on, we know you've
been picking your own pockets.

Little bit here, little bit
there, it all added up.

Pretty soon, your
company was in a big hole.

$286,000 isn't
exactly petty cash.

I mean, that's
embezzlement. Five to ten.

And only the three
of you knew about it.

Didn't even tell your wife.

I couldn't tell her. You know, I
planned to make restitution within a year.

Dummying up the books
was just a short-term fix.

A band-aid.

(SCOFFING)

Yeah, but Farrell didn't think
it was gonna stick, did he?

No. 80, he hires these guys.

They grab you, and he sets
the ransom at an even $300,000.

But that's where
it doesn't track.

Hmm?

Well, the $300,000. You still
have to pay that back, don't you?

(SCOFFS)

Don't you see? It's brilliant.

We can write it off.

Oh, there's this new IRS ruling

that allows companies to
write off ransom payments.

Well, it's not bad
for an amateur.

Yeah, but of course,
amateurs are unpredictable.

RICK: Yes, they are.
Very skittish sorts.

Yeah? Yeah.

Couple of private detectives trip to
their books, they get real nervous.

You know, if I were Farrell, right
now I'd be getting real nervous.

I would be tempted
to take the bird

that I have in the hand
and just fly away with it.

Oh, I would. Oh, yeah.

Rio, here I come. You bet.

A.J.: $300,000.

RICK: You could live
forever down there.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Are you ready to go? We're gonna
have to hurry to make our flight.

Claire, what's wrong?

You didn't want to leave me
holding the bag, now, did you, Victor?

What are you doing here?

Surprised? Is that the money?

He said he'd kill me
if I tried to warn you.

Put the briefcase on
the table and step back.

Is any amount of money
worth dying for? Huh?

Wow. How'd you
get it past the FBI?

I buried it in a waste basket.

The janitor emptied the basket,

I followed him and fished it out
of the bin when he wasn't looking.

Clever. Risky, but clever.

Okay. Let's go see your
old business partner.

He misses you. You
two got a lot to talk about.

All right, over there. Move!

Go ahead, say hello
to your old partner.

Kyle...

Victor! Victor!

Sacks!

Amateur.

I don't understand.
What are you doing?

No! Please!

Getting rid of the evidence.

Shut her up. Stop!
What are you doing?

You forget one thing, Frost.
All those bills are marked.

Yeah, the first time you buy a
candy bar, the FBI is gonna nail you.

The only candy I'll be
buying is Swiss chocolate.

(CLAIRE SCREAMING)

(WHIMPERING)

Good night, everybody.

Back-to-back.

(CLAIRE SCREAMING)

You ready?

A.J.: You got your
legs yet? All right.

BOTH: One, two, three, go!

(WHISTLING)

(WHIMPERING)

RICK: All right.

RICK: A.J., hurry.

All right, everybody, stay back
behind me at least 12, 14 feet, okay?

(ALL COUGHING)

You okay?

WOMAN ON TV: Early in
the morning on interstate 7...

All right, hurry up. Get
over here. Sit down.

The FBI arrested the men as they came
out of a roadside cafe near Bakersfield,

Frost and Sacks
offered no resistance,

Back in San Diego, it was
a more festive occasion...

There we are!
(EXCLAIMS) Look at that!

..two private investigators

credited with breaking the case
and bringing the criminals to justice.

Richard and Andrew Simon
are seen here at the courthouse

receiving the Mayor's
special citation

for distinguished service
to their community.

A senior officer lauded
Simon and Simon's efforts

in aiding law
enforcing officials

and bringing a satisfactory
conclusion to an unsolved kidnapping.

MAN ON TV: Hiya,
folks. I'm Joey Marcate...

That guy had the plaque in
front of my face the entire time.

Aw.

Behind every successful case,
there is an unsung heroine.

Well, thank...

Uh, I hope I'm not
interrupting anything.

No, come on in...
It's not what it...

Jean Edmunds, this is
our friend, Janet Fowler.

Hello. Hi.

She's a friend.

This is for giving
me peace of mind.

Oh, thank you.

We're sorry about your husband.

Thanks. Our lawyer
said that he'll probably

have to spend six
months at the honor farm.

I don't know what he's
gonna do when he gets out.

The business is shot.

But his credit is
still good with me.

There you go.

Now, let's get down to business.

Business? Yeah.

It's about my sister.

Oh, you have a sister? Yeah.

Mmm-hmm.

I think her husband is
seeing another woman.
