00:02That's how I like to start the day. You'll never feel more alive than when you're almost dead.
00:06Yeah, I hope that device didn't pull off.
00:08Whoa, that's the closest I've ever been to miss in my flight.
00:13That was not long.
00:14Still in one piece of room.
00:16I got a good doctor.
00:17You get these short pains in my undertow.
00:20I'm deleting the photo now.
00:21Hey, let me introduce you to you.
00:23This here is Finn McSummer. He's a first-class VIP airport watchman colleague.
00:28And Finn, this here is my gate.
00:31I never did get your name.
00:33Oh, yes, sorry. It's Shiftwell. Holy Shiftwell.
00:36It's Shiftwell. Holy...
00:38Finally, it's time to see who's behind on this.
00:42What is this?
00:43Well, that's one of the worst engines ever made.
00:46It's an old aluminum V8 with a Lucas electrical system and a Whitworth Boltz.
00:51Shit, them Whitworth Boltz is a pain, I tell you what.
00:54They make magic, they ain't engines.
00:56Yes, okay, right. But whose engine is this, Mater?
00:59Well, it's kind of hard to tell from this picture, ain't it?
01:01But you're the one who took it.
01:02Holly?
01:03Oh, right. Yes, of course.
01:05A good agent gets what he can and gets out before he's killed. Sorry.
01:08Agent? You mean like insurance ain't like...
01:11Like a good neighbor, Mater is there...
01:15Wait! You mean secret agent. You guys are spies.
01:18Holly, and how many makes and models did this type of engine appear?
01:21It was standard in seven models over a 12-year period. At least 35,000 cars were made with the
01:28engine.
01:28You're 30.
01:30It's all right, thank you.
01:31And so nice.
01:33Just pay attention.
01:34This seems like a dead end.
01:36If there was something in the photo that could narrow this down a bit, I'd be a lot happier.
01:40You might not be happy, but I bet this fella is.
01:43See how he's had most of his parts replaced?
01:46And see all them boxes over there?
01:47Them's all the original parts.
01:49They ain't easy to come back.
01:50Red parts.
01:51That's something we can track.
01:53Exactly.
01:55Well done, Mater. I would never have seen that.
01:58I know of a black market parts dealer in Paris in treacherous low life,
02:01but he's the only car in the world who can tell us if his engine misses.
02:05Mater, what would you say to setting up an informal task force on this one?
02:08Wait, what?
02:10You obviously have plenty of experience in the field.
02:12Oh, yeah. I live right next to one.
02:14I don't know, Finn.
02:16I ain't exactly been much help to anybody recently.
02:19You're helping me?
02:20Please, Mater.
02:21Well, okay.
02:23But you know I'm just a tow truck, right?
02:25Right.
02:26And I'm just in the import-export business.
02:29Sidley?
02:29Yes, sir?
02:30Paris.
02:31Two sweets.
02:32Yeah, two of them sweets for me, too, Sid.
02:34Thanks, sir.
02:35I always wanted to be a spy.
02:36Really?
02:37Me, too.
02:38Afterburners, sir.
02:39Is there any other way?
02:41No.
