So, what are we doing?
Are we just jumping right into this, or--

-Not literally, you ass!
-Ow! Ow! Will you--

-You scared me half to death!
-Ow! Damn it!

-You idiot!
-Ow! Stop it!

What is your-- Ow!
[Charlotte huffs]

I would like a drink, please.

Ow. Join this great new club.

Brandy, if you have it.

Fresh out, turns out.

Good Lord.

You should have your under-butler
fire the housekeeper.

Yeah, maybe after he's done
getting the caviar stains out of my spats.

I was being facetious, Mr. Archer.

-I--
-I know you're poor.

Well, middle class.

This cannot be the middle.

-Look, Miss...
-VanderTunt.

Heiress to the vast
VanderTunt publishing fortune.

Right... So, I've had a long day.

[gulping]

My partner was murdered,
my office was burgled,

I pissed off two crime bosses
and a dirty cop,

and crushed the ankles of a psychopath
who, just for kicks, melts people.

So, as much as I would genuinely like to,

I'm afraid I don't have time to kill you.

You misunderstand me, Mr. Archer.

I want you to help me fake my death.

For which I am prepared
to offer you $10,000.

-Oh.
-And my body.

The ten grand is plenty.

I'm afraid this is non-negotiable.

[rips]

[whispers] Do your worst.

[chuckles]

I will.

[theme music playing]

[scoffs]

So, when I said, "Do your worst..."
[Archer zips up]

[chuckling] I... I know. Sorry. Long day.

Uh, plus my ear hurts.
[Charlotte gasps]

[in singsong voice] I have codeine!

[Archer] Because heirs
to fortunes like your family's

don't fake their own deaths.

They murder their parents and blame it
on some poor Hispanic or Negro.

Yes, I thought about that,

but I don't know any Hispanics or Negroes.

No, they make up the Hispanic or Negro.

I honestly wouldn't know where to begin.

Okay, but-- [chews]
Boy, these are good.

-Mmm! Aren't they?
-Zesty.

But putting aside, for now,
why you'd want to fake your own death--

Because I have to get away from my family.

They're a seething cauldron
of neurotic, alcoholic,

narcissistic, quasi-incestuous
megalomaniacs!

How quasi?

[sighs] I don't know. A four?

-Out of what?
-Are you going to help me or not?

I... Look, I really don't think
you've thought this thing through.

Mmm. For starters,

even if you pull this off,
what are you gonna do for money?

Well, I... I shall work, of course.

[chuckles] As what?

Uh, one of those.

A... food-perambulator.

[laughs] Well, my apologies.

I thought you were heading
into this half-cocked.

Said the pot to the kettle. [giggles]

My ear hurt!

Well, you're not some runaway kid

whose family couldn't care less
she's gone.

They're gonna be looking for you.

So, to make this work, you'd need a body.

And not just any body.
A body your same size,

same height and weight,
your same general bone structure.

A body-- I mean, if you're gonna do
what has to be done here,

a body with your exact same
dental records.

[squealing]

[Charlotte laughing hysterically]

Who is that?

I don't know! [laughing]

-I mean, obviously she's a maid.
-[sarcastically] Really?

-I just don't know her name, because--
-She's a maid?

Obviously.

Did you kill her?

What-- No! Jesus! [scoffs]

My brother did. [exhales deeply]

Well, technically, I suppose
the drunken abortionist did.

But my brother got her pregnant,
in the first place.

And my father would've killed her

if she had refused
to get an abortion, so...

-But, I mean, not really?
-Really.

Why do you think my father started
the Spanish-American War?

Wasn't it sugar?

He got my aunt pregnant.

And sugar?

I guess. I don't know. Shut up!

[sighs] The point is
this poor girl was dead

the minute her panties hit the straw.

-The--
-In the stables.

-Ah.
-But want to know the best part?

-That wasn't it?
-Look!

What are you-- Uh, no, don't!

[in mock voice]
Not one cavity. Not one filling!

Since when and how do you know that?

Don't you see?

Her teeth are perfect.
My teeth are perfect.

Ergo, this plan is perfect!

I mean, dentally, maybe,
but if she just disappears?

Think of her family.

Do you think I haven't? [body thuds]

-Yes.
-What?

I think you haven't.

[sighs] If you help me do this,

I'll make an anonymous payment
to her family for an additional $10,000.

Um, how does that bring them closure?

[scoffs] It comes with a note
saying she's dead.

Look, nothing we can do
will bring this poor girl back to life.

I know, but--

Not even a voodoo priestess,
flown here from Haiti at great expense,

and then every year on Grandma's birthday,
they throw it in your face!

-Uh...
-So the best thing we can do now...

is to fill this car
to the rafters with dynamite,

and shove it over a cliff.

[chuckles] That is literally
the worst thing we can do.

Oh, right. [sighs]

Dynamite would blow her teeth
all over the stupid beach.

-Well, and--
-And then what's the point?

[crunching]

Exactly.

[Archer] So we'll fake the crash tonight,

but first, we're gonna plant a few seeds.

[scoffs] First of all,
if I wanted your seed--

Seeds of deception.

Oh, sorry. I thought you meant--

I know what you meant.

What in God's name are you doing?

-Scrooching down.
-Well, stop it!

-Stop that this instant!
-You stop--

Shut up. I don't want anybody
in Dreamland to see me.

Well, I don't want anyone to see me
being chauffeured by a dwarf!

Yeah. Then we'd have to find a dead dwarf
and a tiny chauffeur uniform.

-Why?
-To... Oh, never mind.

But she can't be dressed like a maid,
so we need to put her in your clothes.

[gasps] Right!
Then we should go to my hotel.

Which is...

Um... Nice?

-[bangs head] Where...
-Oh!

...is your hotel?

The Chesley, on Sunset.

That wasn't so hard, was it?

[snorting chuckle] That's what I said.

[Charlotte guffawing]
[Archer groans]

[Dutch crying]

[Trexler] Hey, hey, hey, hey. Come on.

Where's my tough guy?

Huh? Where's my tough old Dutch?

[sniffles]

There he is.

-Huh? Now listen.
-[Dutch sniffling]

Shut up and listen to me, okay?

-Because I know...
-[Dutch stifles sob]

I know this isn't, you know, ideal,

but you gotta pull yourself together!

-[sobbing uncontrollably]
-No, no. I'm sorry.

That was a poor choice of words,
but for Christ's sake, man.

There's two dead men walking around there
who stole from me...

-[Dutch crying softly]
-i.e, my whores,

and from you, i.e, your feet!

And you are gonna find them,

and you are gonna bring them to me,

and then I'm gonna make them wish
they were in hell...

with a case of the clap!

How can I? [sniffles]

They took my feet, Lenny.

They took my feet! [cries loudly]

[sniffles] Ow.

-Ow!
-Shut up.

-[dial tone]
-Sorry.

I don't pay you to be sorry.

I pay you to make other people sorry.

Now here.
[line ringing]

Do what he tells you.

What who tells me?

The guy that's gonna fix you.

[man] Hello?

Who is it?

Where did you get the number from?

-[Archer] What?
-[Charlotte] Absolutely not!

Why not?

I'm not gonna stuff

that poor girl into my clothes
in the trunk of a car

like so much... forcemeat!

-So much what?
-Forcemeat.

Such as one might find
in a quenelle, roulade, or galantine.

[scoffs] Well,
now you're just being obtuse.

-I'm being obtuse?
-Yes.

As opposed to you,

who wants to parade a corpse
through a hotel lobby,

just so you can dress her in your room?

Well, I'd hardly call this a parade--

-[man] Oh, good morning, Miss VanderTunt.
-[both gasp]

Can I... help you?

[in a shrill voice]
No. We're fine. No, thank you.

My maid, whose name is, um...

Bernice? Somewhat, obviously.

Bernice! Yes, Bernice.

And she was dead drunk
in a nearby saloon.

Poor thing. [chuckles]

The curse of the Irish, and so forth.

Ah, jeez. Well, let's get her inside.

No! Oh, no. Thank you. Thank you.
[chuckles nervously]

-No. We'll use this one.
-No, no, no.

-That... That one's good. Let's--
-No, this one!

No! We are not going through
a revolving door with Bernice.

But it wastes so much
less air conditioning than a regular door.

The regular door is wide-ass open!

Oh, right.

Well, then, what's the point?

Exactly.

[elevator bell dings]

Honestly, I don't know
why you're so angry.

Which, I think, is why I'm so angry.
[elevator bell dings]

And I can see why you would be.

[Trexler] Oh, yeah?

I mean, you don't think
I'm being unreasonable?

No! I mean, no. I mean...
[chuckles nervously]

Because not only did I pay a lot of money

for those magical disappearing whores,

I also paid you a lot of money.

Well, yes, but that was...

I mean, that was more
to look the other way, so--

Figuratively!

Not literally,

while those assholes were taking my load!

[snickering]

[clears throat]

Do you have a cat? I smell dander.

Now, you listen to me, Figgis,
you schnorrer.

You're gonna find my whores,

and you are gonna find the bastards
who took my whores,

and crippled my right-hand man, or--

Or... I'm just spitballing here...

What if I just gave you back the money?

[yells] Because I do not want the money!

That is why I exchanged the money
for goods and/or services,

which is the core concept of economics.

Isn't it sugar?

Or, like, scarcity... of sugar?

You got one week, Figgis. Or else.

Wow. Goosebumps.

A week?

How in the risen Christ
am I supposed to find them...

-in a week?
-I--

I don't even know where to think
about thinking to start looking!

-[women chattering in Chinese]
-Okay, okay! Okay!

Okay! Goddamn it!
[chattering stops]

Okay. I gotta go to work,
but I'll be back tonight.

And when I get back,

I wouldn't mind if the place smelled
like Lemon Pledge and orange chicken.

Mmm... maybe Chinatown?

Oh, yeah. Hey, and while we're at it,
why not regular China?

Or maybe Sarcastic Island,
off the coast of That Was Uncalled For.

-Will you shut up?
-Gladly.

And then ask yourself...

cui bono?

[Archer] What?

I said, "Why was your office ransacked?"

Because somebody killed my partner,

and he left an envelope
full of clues in the safe.

-Why on earth would he do that?
-What?

No, not the killer, my--

And what on earth are you doing?

Trying to offset some of the blue.

She looks like a... a rodeo clown.

You've clearly never been to a rodeo.

Must you rob this poor girl
of her very last shred of dignity?

You did that!

You did that when you stuffed her
in the trunk of your Rolls-Royce,

you spoiled little--

[muffled grunting]

-Wait. Really?
-Mmm!

[ripping]
[Charlotte gasps] Oh!

Okay.

[moaning]

[unzips pants]

Oh! Cover her face.

[chuckling] What?

[quietly] I don't want her watching us.

[chuckles] Oh. Okay.

[Charlotte] So...

why did someone murder your partner?

That's what I'm trying to find out.

Really?

I would think who
is much more important than why.

-I--
-Because if you found out who killed him,

you could make them tell you why.

Wow, you're a regular Monsieur--

And last night,

whoever, or whoevers,
broke into your office

presumably knew you'd be elsewhere.

I... Huh?

So, who knew you wouldn't be there?

Well, I mean, it was late at night.

There was no reason for anybody
to think I would be at the office, so...

[Poovey] Ya lost me.

[Figgis] "Cui bono," you dummy.

It's Latin. It means "to whose profit."

So?

So, who knew you wouldn't be there?

So, you big ox, when Trexler loses...

who gains?

[Charlotte]
Oh, come now. Don't be such a pout.

I think getting Bernice through the lobby

went about as well
as could reasonably be expected.

[clattering]

[dog whimpering]

[groaning]

[Archer clears throat]

Sorry.

-Besides, if--
-If you don't shut your fat mouth,

it's gonna be you going over
that goddamn cliff instead of Bernice!

Please! Then you'd never get paid.

[tires screeching]

It would be worth it.

What's this? Why have we stopped?

To get some answers.
I won't be long. Stay here.

I shall do nothing of the sort.

[Archer sighs]
Of course, you shalln't.

Why, the very idea,

sitting in a car in the street
like some sort of--

Dirty cop.

Well, or any tradesman, really.

-[shrieks] Oh!
-I need you to stop talking.

And when we get in there,

I need you to continue
to stop talking to anybody.

You're hurting me! [whimpers]

And it's the highlight of my day.

Oh, crap!

What would that be in Newton meter?

-[Archer] Do what?
-What?

-What?
-What do you want?

Couple minutes with Mother.

[scoffs] Knock yourself out.

[Malory] Well, I'm sorry I can't be
of more help to you, Lieutenant, but--

"Can't" and "won't"
are two very different things, Mother.

And yet the end result is still the same.

-Why, Mr. Archer.
-Mother.

-Archer.
-Figgis.

-Archer.
-Poovey. You look like shit.

[sighs] Couldn't sleep.

Noisy house guests.

What do you mean "house guests"?

[chuckles] Wouldn't they be cave guests?

[rim-shot]

-[man] Stop it!
-What are you doing here, anyway?

I heard they did a nice wedge salad.

Ooh. We don't.

-[dejectedly] Aww.
-And now that we've settled that,

if you two will please excuse us?

Okay, Mother,
but remember what I told you.

Remember what I told you.

[snickers, sniffs]

It is just Dandertown Frolics.

Move, dick!

Slang for "detective," so not an insult!

What is insulting is that you've kept me
waiting for ten hours.

I... Sorry. I've had a busy day.

[Malory] I'll bet. I've had
quite a busy day myself,

trying to shut down rumors

I had anything to do with that bloodbath
down in Long Beach.

I wouldn't say "bloodbath."

Although, now that I come to think of it,

the easiest thing would be to just
tell Len Trexler it was you. [scoffs]

That would be pretty easy.

But I have another job for you.

-Great.
-Come back at midnight.

I'll give you the details.

And don't be late again.

Um, okay.

Anything else?

Well, uh, it's just that
while I was down in Long Beach,

somebody broke into my office
and tossed the place.

-And?
-And...

Well, I mean, it's just...

not many people knew I wouldn't be there.

In your office, late at night?

-Yes.
-And?

And I... will see you at midnight.

No, it's just,
what's a society dame like you

doing in a place like this?

Leaving it. Let's go.

-What-- Rude!
-Bernice is waiting.

Oh, right.

[gasps] Miss Kane!

-Archer.
-Wow.

Fancy meeting you here, huh?

At my job?

Yeah. I mean, what are the odds?

One to one?

[hoarsely] Yeah. I don't know. Maybe.

So, um...

Yeah. So, uh, okay.

See... See ya around, or--

[gasps] Oh, my God!
You have a crush on her!

-What? No I don't. I--
-Yes, you do!

That was the cutest thing!

And...

I think she has a crush on you.

No, she-- Wait. Really?

Absolutely!

Why... Why... Why do you think that?

-Did she--
-Just admit that you like her.

-Well, yeah. I mean, of course, I--
-Hey! Yeah.

Me and him? We just fucked!

What is wrong with you?

Well, for one thing,
I may be literally starving to death.

[gasps] Clams!

-What?
-Oh!

We should stop for fried clams
at one of those darling little shacks.

[Archer]
We're not stopping for fried clams.

There is a dead woman in the trunk!

Well, obviously, I meant after.

Also, I think we're being followed.

What? We're not being followed.

There aren't any headlights back there.

I think their headlights are off.

No, they're not, because it's pitch dark,

and we're not being followed!

I think we're being followed.

[screams hoarsely]
We're not being followed!

And also, how have you not been murdered?

I think we're being--
[tires screeching]

We are not being followed!

I am a trained private investigator!

If we were being followed,
I would know it!

Fine. Then drive.

Actually, we're here.

Sorry, Bernice. Won't be long.

Okay.

So, I'm gonna soak
the upholstery with gas,

set a 20-second cordite fuse,

then we'll put Bernice
in the driver's seat,

jam a rock on the accelerator,

light the fuse, and then slam it--

[Archer grunts]
[Charlotte screams]

[tires screeching]

[screams] Archer!

[Archer groaning]
[Charlotte shushing]

[groaning continues]

Shh!

Calm down.
You are not in danger any longer.

What-- [mutters]
[gunshots]

[woman screaming]
[man yelling]

Sorry! Our headlights don't work!
[bullet zings]

[tires squealing]

[blows]

[cackles]

[laughing maniacally]

So, you're just straight-up crazy.

-[blows raspberry]
-Ow. [groans]

Well? Are we doing this, or what?

Because if I don't get some clams soon,
I won't be responsible for my actions.

What? I told you we were being followed.

[grunts] That was just a car
with broken headlights.

It was a coincidence.

[grunts]

Because we weren't being followed!

[engine revs]

[sighs]

Goddamn it.

Hello!

[theme music playing]

[man] Made in Georgia.
