00:00According to the Bible, God created the heavens and the earth.
00:06It is man's prerogative, and woman's, to create their own particular and private hell.
00:12Case in point, Mark Warman, age 62, who in every sense is a successful businessman and noted celebrity.
00:22Mr. Mark Warman has let nothing derail him from the lofty plans he's held since he was a child.
00:30So I'm already having a problem as this goes in.
00:33Why does this look like a cartoon that doesn't look like a real figure to me?
00:37You did ask for a cartoon.
00:39I asked for a cartoon, but not in a cartoon sense, right?
00:41This isn't Bugs Bunny or Wile E. Coyote.
00:43I didn't have a photograph.
00:44You care about what you're doing?
00:45You did sign off on these sketches.
00:47Toonsus is a driving cat, Saturday Night Live.
00:49Toonsus is a driving cat, famous cat.
00:50You see him?
00:51He looks real, right?
00:53But we all know that a cat can't drive.
00:54So what are they doing on the show when we see Toonsus?
00:57Mark Warman has learned through trial and error, mostly error, that there may not be an appetite
01:14for a Saturday morning animated version of his fortuitous program.
01:20However, he will make one last attempt as he takes a dark detour into the Graveyard Zone.
01:29Hey, man, what do I look like?
01:43UNICEF?
01:44Maybe one day UNICEF will get in the Mopar restoration business and they'd be the folks to see.
01:50But in the meantime, y'all gotta work with me.
01:53UNICEF?
02:12UNICEF?
02:16Hello?
02:17Who's there?
02:19What the hell do you want?
02:21No, no, no, no. Hey!
02:51No, no, no, no.
03:21This is Mopar by Death. This is my favorite animation we've ever done. I love the looks of it. I love the feel of it.
03:28You need to watch the original movie Murder by Death, Neil Simon, so that you can appreciate all of the nuance in this animation.
03:37I love the Mopar Easter eggs. It just adds so much texture and layers to it that it's just a cool thing.
03:46Hey, I'm Nick. I have been working at Graveyard Cars for about seven years now, and I'm the animator.
03:54One of the biggest projects I've worked on at Graveyard Cars is the Mopar by Death cartoons, and I kind of consider them my baby.
04:02Here, like in the movie, our host is filling out the invitations for the weekend.
04:13Do you think they'll come, sir?
04:29Oh, they'll come. And they'll come all right.
04:32Here, stamp these and mail them.
04:35And now it's time to meet the guests.
04:50The first folks we meet are Dick and Doreen Charleston, played by Will and George.
04:58It's ringing.
05:00No. Wait. It's just a busy signal.
05:05Ugh. Dude, it's me, you idiot.
05:08Now, in the actual movie itself, this was played by David Niven and Maggie Smith.
05:12We have a lack of female actors here, so I put George in a dress.
05:18Sue me.
05:23Hello? Hello? Anybody there?
05:27Thank goodness. Tell him we're not going to make it.
05:35What the? He hung up on me.
05:38Really? What did it sound like?
05:41Click?
05:46This is ridiculous. Why'd you get me a meatball sub when I asked for a cheesesteak?
05:50All right, let's just cut the crapola. This is a business trick for me.
05:55The next characters we meet are Stan and Tony D'Agostino.
06:00Stan is portraying, from the movie, Sam Diamond, who is played by the incomparable and amazing Peter Folk.
06:10Tony is actually playing two different parts.
06:12He's playing James Coco's part as Milo Perrier, but he is also playing Tess Skeffington, played by Eileen Brennan.
06:21And not being a team player like Tony is, he refused to wear a dress in this animation.
06:26Now, what do you got on this Warman guy?
06:29Well, he was born in Eugene, Oregon, to John and Ruby Warman.
06:33He has one sibling, a sister.
06:36He dropped out of school in the ninth grade, and he only had eight crayons growing up and a tumor in his foot.
06:42So, you got any little Warmans running around?
06:45Yep.
06:46A daughter, age 27, calls herself Alyssa.
06:51I hear words she's at the dinner tonight.
06:53Don't stop, pal.
06:54You're doing fine.
06:56Now, for those of you who don't know who Stan Lynch is, he's been a friend of mine most of my life.
07:01He's been in the show a few times.
07:02He used to have a show called Lynch for Hire.
07:05He has done the most perfect Peter Falk I have ever heard anybody do.
07:10Absolutely spot on.
07:11Yeah, I'd just like to mention here, I recorded all the voice talent for these cartoons.
07:15That was not Stan doing Peter Falk.
07:18That was Mark doing the impression of Stan Lynch doing Peter Falk.
07:23Warman spent a lot of time in the principal's office during grade school for teasing other kids.
07:28No surprise.
07:30He had his nose broken in the sixth grade for making fun of a kid for squinting during science class.
07:36In eighth grade, he was voted most likely to be murdered by a fellow student.
07:39Well, I said, I think we picked ourselves an odd duck, buddy.
07:44You did your homework good, pal.
07:47Where did you dig all this covert information up from?
07:51I texted Mark and asked him.
08:01Oh, there's a bridge, Mom.
08:06Doesn't look that safe to me.
08:08There's only one way to find out.
08:10Hey, where are you going?
08:12Well, the bridge might not hold all of our weight.
08:15Wait, how come I have to drive across?
08:17Because I was smart enough to get out first.
08:20Thanks a lot.
08:21The next guests that we see arriving at the mansion are my wife, Suzanne, and my daughter, Alyssa.
08:28They are playing the father and son dynamic team, Sidney and Willie Wang.
08:35The son is played by a Richard Narita, an up-and-coming actor at the time, so he didn't look very familiar to folks.
08:44But Peter Sellers played Sidney Wang, the great Peter Sellers.
08:49What a cast.
08:50Now, Suzanne and Alyssa also didn't want to come off as cross-dressed in this animation, so we just left them as female.
08:57That's not the important part.
08:58The important part is I wanted my little Bailey in there.
09:02Bailey, my dog, gots to have his time on screen.
09:05That dog's worth a fortune now because of spinning that.
09:08So.
09:18Hey, Mom, I made it.
09:19Good, good.
09:21Now come back and get your mother.
09:27Daddy, you got to help me.
09:29It's first time driving a limo.
09:32That's okay, pal.
09:33My first time riding in one.
09:36Arriving at the mansion next is Gambo and McLean.
09:41Gambo is based on John J. Rambo and McLean is based on our hero from the Nakatomi Plaza, John McLean.
09:50Welcome to the party, pal.
09:54Live for nothing.
09:56Die for something.
09:58These characters have nothing to do with the movie.
10:01They're nowhere near the movie.
10:02They didn't star in it.
10:03They had nothing to do with it.
10:05But I felt that they needed a little bit of crossover integration, we call it.
10:10Maybe a spin-off.
10:11After a while, Mark started inserting characters into there that really shouldn't have been there.
10:17And I think I know why.
10:21He just wanted to do impressions.
10:23Mark loves the sound of his own voice.
10:28Jump, pal.
10:29Why are you pushing me?
10:33They drew first blood, not me.
10:37Gambo is a multi-layered character that I've really created at Graveyard Cars by just doing my ridiculous impressions of Sylvester Stallone.
10:46Now, because Gambo is difficult to understand at best, we decided to do subtitles as to what he was really trying to say versus what you actually heard, which is a lot of mumbo jumbo.
10:59Come out to the coast.
11:00We'll get together.
11:01Have some laughs.
11:06If you've seen that many guys in there, don't forget one thing.
11:10Get some blood body back.
11:12Ah, good evening.
11:17You must be Will Scott and Curious George.
11:20We've been expecting you.
11:22Not exactly, pal.
11:24I'm Jim McLean.
11:26This is Gambo.
11:28Oh, I see.
11:29In the movie Murder by Death, the butler was blind.
11:33Here I had Doug play the blind butler because he's oblivious to everything around here.
11:37I just felt it would be appropriate.
11:40Please allow me to take your bags, sir.
11:42No, no, no, pal.
11:44Let Gambo get it.
11:46He eats food that'd make a billy goat puke.
11:50Very well, sir.
11:52Please excuse me one moment while I close the door.
12:00But the only one I trust.
12:02Now, if you will follow me, I will show you to your room.
12:10Remember at all times, folks, the characters you see have been invited to a mysterious castle
12:17for murder and Mopar.
12:21You know, Warman is a pretty unique individual.
12:47Single-handedly built his business and had a successful TV show.
12:52Could have had one myself.
12:53Chose not to.
12:54Nothing more than a ninth-grade education.
12:56Some hard work.
12:58Folks, I know why we're all here.
13:01Yeah, because my dad is insane.
13:03Now, honey, that's not official yet.
13:06You guys, I love the set that Nick drew here.
13:09Everything is laid out almost verbatim, almost identical to the way it was.
13:14It's really beginning to feel like a murder mystery show.
13:18My kind of stuff.
13:19Grew up on murder mysteries and Alfred Hitchcock.
13:23All the good stuff.
13:24This is perfect.
13:27That punk pulled a Glock 7 on me.
13:31Do you know what that is?
13:32It's a porcelain gun made in Germany.
13:34It doesn't show up on your x-ray machines.
13:36And it costs more than you make in a month, pal.
13:39You'd be surprised what I make in a month.
13:43No, my simple-minded friends.
13:47Mark has gathered us here to solve the mystery of who tried to have him killed.
13:54Tried?
13:55What do you mean tried?
13:57Whoa!
13:57Oh my gosh.
13:58Why is this so dirty?
13:58What is going on?
14:00What's going on?
14:00What's going on?
14:01I can't see.
14:03I can't see.
14:04I can't see.
14:05I think somebody touched me.
14:06Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
14:10I'm your host, Mark Warman.
14:14Good God.
14:15What an entrance.
14:17Just an illusion, Mr. McGeorge.
14:19Much like your body work.
14:21Did you know about this?
14:23Hey, I...
14:23Why are you doing this?
14:25I don't know what you're doing.
14:27What the hell is my house doing now?
14:28I don't know what you're doing all the way out here.
14:30What's going on here?
14:31What's out of here?
14:32People, people, let's focus here.
14:40As you all know, last season, an attempt was made on my life.
14:45And the perpetrator is sitting at this very table as we speak.
14:51Dad, you've gone too far.
14:53It was an animation.
14:54Just something to get people talking during the off-season.
14:57In fact, it was your idea.
14:59Alyssa is right about this whole thing.
15:02It was a cliffhanger.
15:04Kind of like, who shot J.R.?
15:06That was the spirit of that cliffhanger from the previous season.
15:09But when I watched back through it, I thought, that thing's got legs.
15:12I've always wanted to do animation.
15:13This is perfect for it.
15:15So between seasons, the production really started playing with ideas of expanding on that cliffhanger.
15:21A lot of different ideas were thrown out.
15:23And Mark eventually landed on a murder-by-death homage.
15:26So we ran with that one.
15:27And so I took on the challenge of animating an entire season's worth of shorts.
15:33Yeah, I didn't know what I was getting into.
15:34I took on the task of writing everything.
15:39I wrote this thing, I mean, basically from the very cover to the cover, if you will, if it was a book.
15:46So.
15:47I'm leaving.
15:50This is stupid.
15:51Yeah, I'm leaving too.
15:53Let's get out of here, Stan.
15:54I'm hungry anyway.
15:55Nobody is leaving.
16:02Let's make one thing perfectly clear.
16:06You have all been invited to dinner and a murder.
16:10Nobody is leaving here until we figure out who tried to take me out.
16:15Or somebody dies.
16:20Yippee-ki-yay, mother...
16:23Dad, what do you mean somebody dies?
16:33That's ridiculous.
16:34What movie is that from anyways?
16:36Look, somebody in this room tried to have me killed.
16:38We're going to find out who did it through any means necessary.
16:42I get what I need, or somebody dies.
16:45Blacklist.
16:46Son of a...
16:47If you don't let me out of here, I'll kill you myself.
16:53Nice try, Blubber.
16:55A little too slow for the Iceman.
16:58You have until midnight.
17:00Don't disappoint me.
17:01Not a bad contraption.
17:08Built one like it in high school back in shop class.
17:11Took my grandma's wheelchair and modified it.
17:14Eh, she got hurt in it, but...
17:16Didn't kill her.
17:19What's going on here?
17:20What do we do now?
17:22And where's that butler with our dinner?
17:23Hey, that's a good point, Tony.
17:27Where is the butler?
17:28Because I haven't seen him since I arrived.
17:30I'm going to go check it out.
17:32I'll come with you.
17:33I need to have a word with him about the quality of his service.
17:36I eat food to make a bill too.
17:39Oh my god, he's dead.
17:49I knew it.
17:49We're going to starve.
17:51This scene, you guys, is very, very similar to the original movie.
17:54Again, you've got to watch it.
17:55It follows it really closely.
17:59The animation's great.
18:00But at the end, Nick just begins to take what they call those creative liberties, I think.
18:05Is that what they're called?
18:06Gambo, can you cook?
18:10I want to send me, I'll be pushing me, why are you pushing me?
18:16Look, here's a note.
18:19It says here,
18:22Now I have a machine gun too.
18:27Ho, ho, ho.
18:30Come out to the coast, we'll get together, have some laughs.
18:33You guys, it's only 11 o'clock.
18:35My dad said we have until midnight, so there's still another murder.
18:40That means...
18:41That means this murder was just the appetizer.
18:47We need to go and tell the others what we found.
18:49Let's go, you guys.
18:50You guys, well, what's this?
18:56Your mom, I am even you.
18:59Me.
19:14Whoa.
19:15Whoa.
19:16What's this?
19:18Welcome to my hell.
19:20Uh, where are we?
19:22Where's the dining room?
19:25What the?
19:26Run for it.
19:27I'll cover you.
19:28Let's get out of here.
19:30Now I got no idea where all this is going or what it has to do with anything.
19:34This is all Nick.
19:36This is from his brain.
19:37I want everybody to know this has nothing to do with me.
19:39So around this time, Mark started getting pretty busy, and so I took over a lot more of the writing.
19:43So I just kind of created this scene to get Gambo fighting in the jungle in his natural habitat.
19:50You know, what you call hell, he calls home kind of thing.
19:53At the time, it made perfect sense in my head.
19:56Now?
19:57Don't push it.
19:59I'll give you a war you won't believe.
20:01So anyway, I tells the little chick, look.
20:16Yes, I graduated high school.
20:18Yes, I've got a Trans Am.
20:19What the heck is going on?
20:25Where were you guys?
20:26Hey, we've been here the whole time, pal.
20:29Where have you been?
20:30I've been getting worried.
20:31The butler.
20:33Dead.
20:35Knife.
20:36Are you saying he's been murdered?
20:39My word.
20:40Someone's been murdered?
20:41Oh my god, you're alive?
20:43And you have dinner.
20:44Hey, where's Gambo, pal?
20:46He's fine.
21:02What is Nick doing?
21:04Playing hacky sack with another human being?
21:07Rambo didn't do that.
21:08Gambo didn't do that.
21:09Honestly, I just had a lot of fun animating that and it had to go in.
21:14Now, how about that dinner?
21:16So something to note about Tony is that he was never here recording his dialogue.
21:24He was always recording remotely from his home in Delaware.
21:27I had to sit down with him and direct him over Zoom.
21:29And every time we sat down to record, I had to keep apologizing that every one of his lines
21:35was about him just wanting to eat.
21:37The reason Tony's character is so obsessed with food is that James Coco's original character
21:42in Murder by Death is obsessed with food.
21:44Mark did decide to cast Tony in that role.
21:47So I'm not saying that it was Mark's fault, but I am saying it was Mark's plan.
21:53Hey, where's the soup?
21:56In your bowl, Mr. D'Agostino.
21:58Can't you see, uh, can't you tell there's nothing in my bowl?
22:08I'm dreadfully sorry, sir.
22:10I just remembered.
22:11The cook was fired last week.
22:12It must have slipped my mind.
22:14I'm afraid I'm dead on my feet.
22:17Oh my gosh, Mal!
22:18My gosh, what happened to you?
22:22They drew first blood, not me.
22:26Everybody, look!
22:35We're out of time.
22:42Woo!
22:43Can't see anything!
22:46I found a switch!
22:48Oh my god!
22:51What the?
22:52Oh no, my dad's dead!
22:55Again.
22:56So, I'd actually like to pause right now and take a couple minutes to go over, like, the character rigging process.
23:03Um, because it's a lot more interesting than you think.
23:06All of the, everything from, like, eye movements to the head turns to the walking, everything has to be, like, meticulously planned out.
23:13And you have to, um...
23:14Niko!
23:15You talking about murder?
23:16Yeah.
23:17Murder by Mopar?
23:18Bailey disappears.
23:19My dog disappears.
23:20My dog's in the car and then it's not in the car, it's not in the house.
23:23If you're confused about why Mark is upset, well, here's the reason.
23:29Remember Mark's dog, Bailey?
23:31He's upset because he doesn't see Bailey in this scene.
23:35Bailey here?
23:37No Bailey here.
23:38Seriously, that's the reason.
23:40Now do you see why it takes so long to get anything done around here?
23:45We'd also like to remind you that the reason you're watching a completely animated episode of Graveyard Cars is this guy right here.
23:56Go on social media and tell him what you think.
23:58We dare you.
23:59We dare you.
24:04How did this happen?
24:06All the suspects were in this room.
24:08Yeah, I saw this in a Matlock episode once.
24:12Mark is dead, but he was not murdered.
24:17He died by his own hand.
24:20That's right, folks.
24:22The oldest trick in the book.
24:24Suicidus autodilecti.
24:26Basically, with Warman's knowledge of mechanics and physics, it would have been simple enough for him to build an apparatus that would allow him to stab himself in the back.
24:38I'd have been happy to do the same thing for a six-pack.
24:42I checked the hall.
24:44All the windows and doors are still barred.
24:46There's no way out of here.
24:48Okay, I've had enough of this.
24:50I'm calling 911.
24:56Hello, my simple friends.
25:02Don't bother calling the police.
25:04I've blocked the signal.
25:06If you're listening to this message, then it means I am dead.
25:10It also means when you dial 911, you triggered a detonation device that is connected to C4 plastic explosives that is set to go off in 30 seconds.
25:24I will see you all very soon.
25:26This chick's from the scene.
25:28I don't need anything.
25:29They're coming.
25:29No, my father was coming.
25:30It was all this one.
25:33It was the trustable mission impossible.
25:36Okay, okay, it was me.
25:38I tried to have him killed.
25:40You don't just turn it off.
25:41Screw this, pal.
25:42I'm getting us out of here.
25:45Hey, has this been here the whole time?
25:48When did you do that scene?
25:50Um, what time of year?
25:54Oregon Country Fair.
25:54Okay, this might take some explaining, too.
25:59Mark is suspicious that Nick's sudden psychedelic plot twists may be connected to his attendance of a local festival that is associated with actual psychedelics.
26:10Mark's lawyers would like us to say that he has no evidence of this, and that his opinions are not those of the division graveyard cars nor any of the aforementioned associates or affiliates.
26:21So there, you can't sue us.
26:23Just guessing?
26:25A lot of things going on out there, stuff I wouldn't want to see written on an overpass.
26:36Keep the liberties to a minimum, okay?
26:38This isn't Ellis Island.
26:39Lord, if you get me out of this, I promise, I'll never even think about going to a party on the West Coast.
26:50I'm sorry, okay?
27:01It was me.
27:01I'm the one that stole your car.
27:02But Will did make me do it.
27:04Don't listen to her.
27:04She's lying.
27:05I didn't tell her to do s***.
27:06It's okay, baby.
27:12It's okay.
27:13We're going to get out of here.
27:16Oh, Mark.
27:17Uh, Bailey's back.
27:18Eh.
27:19Bailey came back.
27:31I'm going to die and I don't even get my last meal.
27:36There's no use, Mr. McLean.
27:42You'll never get out that way.
27:45The windows are double-pained with transparent titanium bulletproof glass.
27:50They're also tinted to reduce glare.
27:53Standard on all air conditioning.
27:55Oh, God.
27:57Pretty clever, Warman.
27:58Personally, I'd have done three layers of polycarbonate with a flexible titanium.
28:03Shut up, Stan.
28:06Time's up.
28:16Time's up.
28:25Uh, we're still alive.
28:28Sorry about that, folks.
28:30I've been having a bit of a rodent problem in the east wing.
28:32I thought perhaps I'd nip it in the bud.
28:37Take that as a warning, however.
28:40I'll give you just one more chance to redeem yourselves.
28:42If you fail me again, the next time, the chamber won't be empty.
28:48Die hard, too.
28:49What is this?
28:50Some kind of revenge?
28:52Extortion?
28:53You're dead, pal.
28:54What more do you need from us?
28:56It's not as simple as all that, Mr. McLean.
28:59There is a pay phone in the lounge.
29:02You and Mr. Gamble will go there.
29:04No one else.
29:04I will call you in five minutes.
29:09Failure to answer will cost you noncompliance.
29:12Do you understand me, Jim?
29:14Oh, yeah.
29:15I understand.
29:16I understand you're a wacko that likes to rip off action movies.
29:19That's what I understand.
29:21Good.
29:22I'll talk to you in five minutes.
29:25Well, it looks like we're in this one together, pal.
29:28I'm not in the bowl.
29:30What the hell are you talking about, pal?
29:33It's what that lady in the bowl is in the first part two, the necklace.
29:45You're not going to believe this, but I'm in this big house right now.
29:49And there's this whole group of people here having some kind of dinner party.
29:53And one of them is my boss from the...
29:55Excuse us, sir.
29:56Excuse us.
29:57This is an urgent police matter.
29:59We're going to need to commandeer that phone.
30:00What are you guys...
30:01How?
30:01Wait, hey.
30:03Whoa.
30:05As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives.
30:09Every wife had seven sacks.
30:11Every sack had seven cats.
30:12Every cat had seven kittens.
30:14Kitten, cats, sacks, and wives.
30:16How many were going to St. Ives?
30:18My number is 555.
30:21And the answer...
30:22How do you, uh, like the German accent?
30:25I got to work on it.
30:26I do Peter Sellers a little bit better.
30:28But, um...
30:29Now you have 30 seconds to figure it out.
30:32Or this place is history.
30:34Whoa.
30:35Talk about deja vu, pal.
30:38I just remind you to, as you're watching through this, it's obvious which scenes I've written
30:43and which ones I haven't.
30:44The ones that I have done border on brilliant.
30:48Check out this scene.
30:50Perfection.
30:51All right?
30:51So this brilliant writing of Mark's, he just ripped off Die Hard 3.
31:00Psychic timeline.
31:01Sure, McLean.
31:02I got it.
31:03There's only one guy who went to St. I.
31:05There's another one who was a kid.
31:07There's just one guy.
31:08One.
31:09One.
31:10He's going on.
31:11There's two.
31:11There.
31:12There's one.
31:13There's a fool of me.
31:15There's no puking.
31:18Thanks for the help, pal.
31:19But as you're well aware, I don't read.
31:24Time's up, buddy.
31:25Everybody.
31:36Duck.
31:37There's a bomb.
31:39Hey, uh, another bomb, pal.
31:43Are you guys talking about this bomb?
31:45We found it while you guys were out of the room.
31:47It's just a dud.
31:52Oh, man.
31:54This is too easy.
31:56I'm getting pretty sick of this s***, pal.
32:02Mark, what the hell's going on here?
32:05I want answers.
32:06Are you dead or not?
32:08Is there another bomb or what?
32:11This is ruining my appetite.
32:15Answer me.
32:16Nick is right about one thing.
32:18Tony was not happy with all the references about eating.
32:20He thought I was taking a jab at him.
32:22So he actually called and left me a voicemail.
32:24That's not as friendly as a lot of them have been.
32:28This is Mark Mormon.
32:29That's a tone.
32:30Leave your name and message, and I'll get back with you.
32:33Voicemail again.
32:34You've got to pick up some time.
32:35I just read the last script.
32:37All of my lines are about food.
32:38All the s*** that you do about me on the show is about eating.
32:41I know what you're doing.
32:42It's not funny, and I don't like it.
32:44Grow a pair.
32:45Answer my calls.
32:46And let's get this straight.
32:47And for the last time, I do not like Billy G-Steaks.
32:51End of story.
32:52Hang on a minute.
32:53A second ago, the broad with the mud said she's the one that tried to have Mark killed.
32:58Okay, okay.
33:00It was me.
33:01You want to explain that, pal?
33:02Yes, it's true.
33:04I killed him.
33:06I knew there was something weird with him.
33:08The glasses, the funny coat, the death threats.
33:11I knew this wasn't my husband.
33:13This is an imposter.
33:15When the lights went out, I heard him enter the room and did what I had to do.
33:19I stabbed him with the shifter.
33:21Hang on.
33:22Now, uno momento, por favor.
33:25Are we to believe you just happened to have a pistol grip shifter laying around in your purse?
33:31Yes.
33:32Mark gave it to me for our 25th wedding anniversary.
33:35But yeah, I could fly a gun shed, drive a thing, a million dollar equipment out of here.
33:39I can't handle the job.
33:40I can't handle the job.
33:43If this isn't the Mark Warman, then who did you kill?
33:47Nobody.
33:49I took the liberty of examining the body.
33:51You'll notice there's no blood.
33:53This is not my dad.
33:55This is not a human at all.
33:59That's right.
34:00He's a fake.
34:02A dummy.
34:03A mannequin, if you will.
34:06What are you suggesting?
34:08Yeah.
34:09What are you suggesting?
34:11When I watched this for the first time, I really thought Nick was grasping at straws.
34:15It seemed to me that he was coming up with things to kind of buy time to get through the edit.
34:20Yeah, that's pretty accurate.
34:21I was grasping at straws.
34:23But around this point, I did start trying to reel it back into some kind of ending.
34:28But in reality, he sewed this up really nicely.
34:32He sewed it up in the spirit that Neil Simon would be very happy.
34:35My dad was never here.
34:37This entire evening has been a charade meticulously set up by some imposter, using a finely crafted dummy to carry out his plan.
34:43And we're all looking at him.
34:46Very good, Alyssa.
34:50Very good.
34:51Now hold on.
34:52Why do I have to be the bad guy?
34:54I've never hurt anyone in my life.
34:56Hey, you guys didn't grow up with Cousin Dougie.
35:03I wouldn't put this past him at all.
35:06This is his meal you.
35:08So you're telling us Mark is just a mannequin, you've been controlling him the whole time, and you've been faking blindness.
35:16Actually, that makes sense.
35:18Dougie's never been blind.
35:19I don't know why I didn't pick up on that sooner.
35:21You got me.
35:23I planned this entire dinner party.
35:25I designed a dummy Mark.
35:27Wait, so the dead butler in the kitchen?
35:30Yes.
35:30I designed that one, too.
35:33And I spent months modifying and booby-trapping this mansion.
35:38Of course, I didn't do it all on my own.
35:41I had help from two of Mark's most trusted employees.
35:44No, Will?
35:47How could you?
35:48Hey, this wasn't my choice.
35:50I was blackmailed.
35:51He said he'd expose me for being the number two painter.
35:54But according to my Instagram, number underscore one underscore painter.
36:06I'm the number one painter.
36:08Okay, I admit it.
36:09It's been me, George, this whole time.
36:12We built the mannequins and installed the bars.
36:16I came in disguise so I wouldn't be found out.
36:19Dude, you're an idiot.
36:21I told you you weren't fooling anybody.
36:23Let me tell you something, fella.
36:25You just made a huge mistake confessing all this to a well-known private investigator and
36:30his partner.
36:31Murder, identity theft, blackmail.
36:34Will, you're going away for a long time.
36:37Tony, have Mr. Oldham unlock the door as he will be escorting us to the nearest police station.
36:44I don't think I'll do that, Stan.
36:46Still to come, will Tony turn the tables?
36:51Will Stan prove himself as a competent detective?
36:54Will George surprise anyone when he reveals his true identity?
36:59And will any of these twists, turns, explosions, and gunshots make Will Scott actually give a crap?
37:06Find out in the thrilling conclusion of Mopar by Death.
37:10What's this all about?
37:14Come on, Stan.
37:15What kind of detective are you?
37:16You didn't really think I was working for you this whole time, did you?
37:20Dougie, you did good.
37:21Everything went according to plan.
37:23Thank you, sir.
37:25That's right.
37:26None of you suspected a thing, did you?
37:28No one ever has.
37:29I've been trying to get rid of Mark for years.
37:31In eighth grade, he was voted most likely to be murdered by a fellow student.
37:36And now I've finally done it.
37:39That's right.
37:39I killed Mark.
37:41Me.
37:43Royal Yoakum.
37:45Oh my god, Royal?
37:46I love that Royal was able to come in at the end with a great plot twist.
37:51Here he is, this angelic.
37:53Royal is an angel.
37:54Everybody loves Royal.
37:54My mom loved Royal.
37:55Nobody doesn't like Royal.
37:57But to make him the villain, I thought, was so perfect.
38:00However, Nick seems to have had an ulterior motive behind making him the villain.
38:07So as a cartoonist myself, and as somebody who grew up with Looney Tunes and all those
38:11classic old cartoons, one of my favorite gags is the unzipping your body effect.
38:17So I just had to find a way to work that into the story here.
38:20And fun fact, in the film Looney Tunes Back in Action, Bill Goldberg, of all people, unzips
38:27his body to reveal that he is in fact a Looney Tune.
38:30Why would you kill my dad?
38:33I mean, besides the obvious reasons.
38:36For this, of course.
38:37My dad's Mopar award that he was given at SEMA?
38:40Why would you even want that?
38:42It's a freaking paperweight.
38:44Can it be?
38:49Guys, I am so sorry for this.
38:51When you listen to George do his monologue, it was a long monologue.
38:55If it sounds like we just had him say one word at a time to get this, it's because we
39:02had him kind of say one word at a time.
39:04Once in a while, if it was just a conjunction word, he could do two.
39:07But a lot of these are just single words, which is why the inflection changes all the
39:11time.
39:12But we love George.
39:13The priceless Panther Pink Diamond, manufactured by Walter P. Chrysler himself in 1925, and
39:20then later stolen from his Sleepy Hollow Mausoleum following his death in 1940.
39:26I thought it was a myth.
39:30What?
39:31I read it on Wikipedia.
39:33That's right.
39:34It was right under your noses the whole time.
39:36And now it's mine.
39:37All mine.
39:38I'll be rich.
39:39All right, boys.
39:40I think we've heard enough.
39:42What do you think?
39:43More than enough for me, sir.
39:45Well, I'd like to introduce you to David Starsky and Kenneth Hutchinson, undercover detectives
39:51for the Springfield Police Department.
39:53We're undercover cops.
39:55And celebrity impersonators.
39:56Here's our card.
39:57We do birthdays and county fairs.
39:59And we've been wearing wires this whole evening.
40:02We've got everything on tape.
40:04You're busted.
40:07Mark?
40:08But how?
40:09You better check your aim next time, buddy.
40:11That shot didn't even come close to hitting the vital organ.
40:15It was the concussion that knocked me down.
40:18When I woke up, that's when I noticed my award was missing.
40:22Didn't take long to put the pieces together and figure out exactly what's going on.
40:27I know you.
40:28I knew you wouldn't admit to anything.
40:30I knew these idiots couldn't keep their mouths shut.
40:32So, I faked my death and hired these gentlemen to help me catch you in the act.
40:37What I didn't count on was you roping in my own cousin into your twisted game.
40:42Cuff them, boys.
40:45Damn you, Mark.
40:46I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for your meddling detectives.
40:49Well, that's it, folks.
40:51You can all go home.
40:52I'll see you back at the shop tomorrow.
40:54Why was Dougie pretending to be blind this whole time?
40:59And then he was dead at one point, and then he wasn't there.
41:00What was the point of why didn't Royal set up this master plan?
41:03And how did he get his hands on a haunted mansion?
41:06What do you think was it a recording?
41:07What was the deal with blowing up the building?
41:08If Royal was disguised as Tony, and Tony was with us in the dining room,
41:13who was controlling the lights?
41:14And how did he mimic Tony's voice?
41:16Are we getting paid for any of this?
41:17Are we getting paid for any of this?
41:46Dad.
41:52Dad.
41:54Yeah, baby.
41:56I think you fell asleep watching your movie.
41:59Oh, yeah, I did.
42:00We're supposed to do parts at one.
42:02Oh, yeah.
42:03Sorry.
42:04In this final scene of the animation, we decided to pull back to reality,
42:10make everything that you had just seen on TV a dream,
42:12like in Who Shot J.R.?
42:14In Dallas, that turned out all to be a dream.
42:17Just note that my acting chops are pretty good in this one.
42:20I'm not saying I'm up for an Oscar or anything,
42:23but I looked like I was asleep, and Alyssa woke me up, so.
42:26I can't believe this weird dream.
42:28I had this dream that we were all cartoon characters.
42:31Like, I was a cartoon character, you were a cartoon character,
42:34Mom was a cartoon character, Dougie was a blind butler.
42:38We were at this, like, mansion, this weird haunted mansion.
42:40And I had been murdered.
42:43Yeah, I had been murdered by your mom.
42:46Well, I mean, that tracks.
42:47Yeah.
42:47I don't know how that tracks.
42:49Yeah, that one coming.
42:50What did I do?
42:50I wasn't in the dream.
42:51I don't know.
42:52I wasn't in the dream.
42:53I didn't do anything.
42:55Nothing?
42:55In the dream, I got shot for doing nothing.
42:57And there it is, folks.
42:58I finally got my animated episode of Graveyard Cars, full animation, one hour.
43:04It took 15 years and over 250 episodes.
43:07And if it doesn't do well, then, you know, pretty much it was all Nick's fault.
43:14It was his idea.
43:16Can we just get some blood sorter?
43:17Yeah.
43:17Sounds good.
43:18Are you going to sleep on the job?
43:19Dan was there, Lynch.
43:21There's a guy named Gambo, Jim McLean.
43:24I don't know what that was all about.
43:26It just was so weird.
43:27It's, like, surreal.
43:28I don't know what that was all about.
