"Previously on" ""Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency"..." "Help me!" "It's real, isn't it?" "My life is happening for a reason." "We have to find Dirk Gently." "We need to kill Dirk Gently." "There appears to be some kind of body-swappy thing going on with the bad men." "Gordon Rimmer, it would appear, used to be Lux DuJour." "I don't want the things that Lux wanted anymore." "Aah!" "Where's the head?" "We're keeping it separate." "There is something... seriously wrong." "Following Patrick Spring's map," "Todd and I got into some bad trouble underground" "A treasure map." "We leave first thing in the morning." "Boys." "You'll get them, sir." "All of them." "Everything is connected." "Rapunzel, get over here!" "I'm sorry I did this to you." "It was selfish." "When I'm finished with this little bitch boom!" "Get out of here." "Get out of here now." "Is this it?" "We're out of gas." "And doesn't that mean something's gonna..." "Watch where you're going!" "For two days now, every time we've stopped for... any reason," " there's been a..." " A death." "Yes." "Or deaths." "Something's weird." "Just one thing?" "There's no..." "There's no Dirk Gently here." "Seattle's a big city." "The city doesn't matter." "Either I go to the target, or the... the target goes to me." "The city's just a backdrop." "So I'm gonna..." "I'm gonna stand here until something happens." "You're gonna..." "We're parked in front of a bus stop." "Okay." "So exciting that Patrick Spring left us buried treasure." "How do you even know what we're looking for is buried?" "Treasure is always buried." "Who said anything about treasure?" "W-We have no idea what we're looking for, do we?" "I mean, what was all that stuff you said in the trap room about "three questions, one answer"?" "Yeah, you're right." "At this point," "I feel like it probably is just going to lead to seven more maps leading to seven more secret rooms in seven more basements." "Well, we dig it up, and we get back home." "I don't like leaving Amanda alone." "It'll be all right." "We've got this absolutely under control." "Honestly, I'm just relieved we got through the drive without anyone or anything trying to kill us." "He knows something." "Of course he knows something... he's Patrick Spring's lawyer." "Well, you'd think he'd want to tell us if it meant finding Lydia." "I'm not saying he knows where Lydia is, but he certainly knows who Patrick Spring's enemies were." "So, what now?" "We follow up on Rimmer." "This kind of stuff happens to you all the time," " doesn't it?" " Hmm?" "I mean, weird things." "Supernatural things." "What's weird?" "Well, Patrick Spring knowing you and I would meet and solve all those puzzle traps together?" "Oh, that." "Yes, that's weird, but it could've been a coincidence." "No." "No way." "You don't just stumble into that." "Well, technically, we did just stumble into that." "Okay, you know what I mean." "There's some kind of thing, like... a power." "A power?" "No, I'm just a man, a normal detective man." "No, there's some other thing." "T-This holistic stuff is garbage." "It's..." "It's you." "There's..." "There's something about you." "Look, I'm not psychic." "Drop it." "Who said you were psychic?" "You did." "Didn't you?" "Did I, though?" "Look, can't you just go back to complaining?" "This isn't..." "No, no, no." "We are having this conversation." "Here." "Let's do an experiment." "Tell me what I drew on the napkin." " No." " Why not?" "Look, I can't explain it, okay?" "I learned a long time ago that things don't always make sense the way people want them to." "I accept that, and you're going to have to, too." "Too." "To, too." "Too." "Two?" "You want to do everything." "Why don't you want to do this?" "Look, I don't have time for or interest in talking about your stupid picture of a cowboy." "Hey!" "Hey, hey, wait!" "Hey!" "What are you doing?" "Oh, that nice chef traded me this jeep for the Corvette." "Traded the..." "Wait." "What?" " Why?" " Well, I showed him our map, and he said we couldn't get to where we need to go in that car." "We're going off-road." "Wait, you... you traded the Corvette for this?" "Oh, don't worry." "It was just a rental." "Oh, here." "I got you this new shirt in the gift shop." "Did you..." "How could you..." "Well, come on, we're wasting daylight." "Now, um..." "So, do I, um..." "And then..." ""Project Incubus," a.k.a. "The Rowdy 3."" "Normally, confronting these subjects would be a 40-man operation." "I'd want 10 men for every one of them." "Well, I appreciate your confidence in me providing adequate support, sir." "That's not exactly what I was saying." "Let me be clear... under no circumstances are you to engage unless I give the word." "Understood." "May I suggest "cinnamon"?" "What?" "As the word you give." "In situations like this... well, in different situations from this," "I use the word "cinnamon," so I thought..." "Corporal Friedkin did you read the files I gave you?" "Yes, sir." "I read them." "It was a couple days ago, though, and some of the words were really hard to understand." ""The Rowdy 3" are "Project Incubus."" "They were some of the first subjects taken into Black Wing." "They subside through the extortion of psychic energy." "Originally, we classified them as vampires." "Whoa." "W..." "Shouldn't we have, like, wooden stakes, then, and golden bullets?" "No." "Golden bullets?" "W..." "We're not trying to kill anyone." "Just... follow my lead." "Sir if you don't mind me asking, why didn't they send you any backup?" "I mean, why didn't they send you more backup?" "It has been suggested that I'm too close." "Too emotionally involved, and that blinds me to the realities of the situation," "But the truth is, no one knows these people the way I do." "If we handle this calmly, these men can be reasoned with." "Understood?" "Cinnamon." "No." "No." "Are you sure it was a safe idea to get into a van with a bunch of, uh... crazy strangers?" "You sure it's safe idea to let a crazy stranger in your van?" " Oh!" " She totally flipped it!" "Flip-flop-flipped!" "Yeah, well, this is not the first van full of assholes" " that I've ridden around in." " Whoa-ho-ho." "Except I was usually drunk." "Bottoms up!" "Drink it!" "Whoo!" "Whoo!" "So, who are..." "Are you guys, like..." "I'm Martin, that's Gripps, he's Vogle, and that one right there... he's Cross." " I'm Cross." " That's what he said." "Are you Dirk's friends?" "Who's Dirk?" "The guy that you've been following." "The..." "The British guy who you do, like, the zappy thing to." "That's your friend." "He ain't no friend of ours." " Oh!" " Yeah, he's not our friend." "He's British!" " Yeah." " Oh!" "The only reason we've been following him around since his energy tastes so good." "He's got gourmet panic..." "ain't that right, boys?" " Yeah!" " Mmm!" "His energy?" "What are you guys..." "like, hippies?" " Mnh-mnh." "Mnh-mnh." " No." "Is that what you did to me?" "You, like, ate my emotions?" "You sucked the energy out of my nerves?" "You catch on quick." "Now, that thing you got, it's like a... how would you say?" "..." "uh, a buffet for us." " Mmm!" " Like fear?" "Mmm!" "Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom!" " Pain?" " Ow!" "Mmm, nom, nom, nom." " Confusion?" "Ca-caw!" "Ca-caw!" " It was so crazy!" "We've never seen anything like it before!" "You were, like, gonzo-nutballs!" "Yeah, your eyes were all funny." "You see anything cool?" "Yeah." "Rimmer?" "Sure, I know him." "He works here." "That was Gordon Rimmer's house that got burnt down?" "Yes, burned to the ground." "Yeah, I saw that on the news." "Wait, so you think Gordon had something to do with that body that was found in his house?" "Was it really Lux DuJour?" "It's part of an ongoing investigation." "I can't believe he's really dead." "You don't seem very surprised that Gordon Rimmer might have been involved in a crime." "I think everybody saw that coming." " Why?" " Well, the guy's a prick." "Did you work closely with him?" "No, thank God." "He used to be in charge of the old Animal Transfer Unit," " but it's abandoned now." " What's in it?" "Nothing." "Nothing?" "Really?" "Yeah." "You're saying that there's an abandoned building on zoo property that Gordon Rimmer had access to?" "Yeah, it's condemned, supposed to get torn down." "Well, do you think we can get a look at this building?" " I don't have keys." " Who has keys?" "You'll have to talk to the operations manager." "It's a property thing." "Okay, well, thank you for your time." "No problem." "How do we know this is the right spot?" "The map isn't exactly specific." "Well, Patrick Spring obviously believed in us." "I kind of hoped you'd randomly lead us to the exact right place." "I did." "No, I stopped the car to check the map, and then you got out to start digging." " That's not..." " I'm sure it'll all work out, as long as we find the thing we're looking for." "And what's that again?" "Well... we'll know it when we find it." "You are psychic." "No, I'm... digging." "Mnh." "Ohh." "Oof." "Are you hungry?" " No." " Well, I'm starving." "There's a restaurant right there." "You want me to bring you back something?" "Doesn't matter." "Look... you really think you'll miss your opportunity to kill Dirk Gently by eating some human food?" "What's this?" " Sweet-and-sour pork." " Pork?" "Yeah, pork." "You know, pig?" "Why do people call it "pork"?" "So we don't feel guilty about eating pigs." "I never seen any of this before." "You've never had Chinese food?" "I never been to China." "But you must have eaten it in a restaurant." "Food comes to me when I'm supposed to eat it." "Hey, listen, um... you wouldn't happen to have any money?" "I have money." "How much do you have?" "$17,000." "Whose rooms are these?" "It's ours." "What?" "!" "How?" "I..." "It's a hotel." "I mean, have you ever..." "You've never slept in a hotel room before." "All this stuff, your own room... it's kind of a parade just to sleep, right?" "Okay, I'm gonna take a shower." "They got a shower in here?" "!" "Bart, are you okay?" "As much as I ever am." "Well, y-you've been in there a... a while." "This drink tastes bad!" "D-Drink?" "What?" "No, no, no, no, no, that's shampoo." "That..." "D-Don't drink that!" "That's for your hair." "Well, why does it got a fruit on the bottle?" "Hey, Ken?" "Yeah?" "You're still here." "Hm." "Yeah, I am." "Dirk?" "Oh, don't tell me you're giving up." "We've only dug, like... what... 30... million holes?" "I think we're in the wrong spot." "W-We got to double-check the map." "What if maybe the X's aren't even for something buried?" "Well, we have to dig somewhere." "I mean, I think the ground is a great place to start." "You're right." "I take it back." "You're not psychic." "What a relief." "Look, it's late." "Let's pack it in for the night and try another one of the marks on the map in the morning." "You gain nothing from giving up, Todd." "Oh, don't start with the Zen master stuff, okay?" "It worked a lot better before I figured out you were a mess, too." "Fair point, I suppose." "But wouldn't it just be one more thing you walked away from?" "You know, I was thinking about those trap rooms, how you solve them, but then there's always another, and I think..." "maybe life is like that, too... just an endless series of rooms with puzzles in, and, eventually, one of them kills you." "That's dark and depressing." "Well, giving up is an answer, I suppose." "It'd certainly be easier." "But it's an easy road to nowhere." "What if one more shovel in the dirt is all it would take?" "Go ahead." "One more, and then we quit." "Nah, you're right, Todd." "Let's move back to Kansas and be farmers." "Come on." "What?" "No, one more, just to prove me wrong." "No, when you're right, you're right, and you're right..." "let's quit." "You want to try one more, try one more." "Look, all I was saying is, if you don't try, you'll never know." "I get it!" "But now I can't leave." "I knew it." "What is it?" "A thing." " Yeah!" " Let's go, boys!" "Show Drummer how we have fun!" " Oh, yeah!" " Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey, stop!" "Stop!" "Yeah!" "Whoo!" " Whoo-hoo-hoo!" " Whoo!" "Yeah!" " Whoo!" " Look at that!" "Ah!" "Mnh!" "Go on." "Hurt it." "Yeah!" "Yah!" "Ha!" " Amanda!" " Come on." "Come on." "Yeah." "Whoo-hoo!" "Aah!" "You're not going to have to worry about that shit anymore." "You brought the cat." "Well, of course I did." "Are you ever gonna tell me why you took it from the crime scene?" "Hunch?" "Of course." "Aww." "Ohh." "My back is killing me." "I haven't slept in a car since my last band." "When was that?" "Aw, geez." "Um... must be six years ago now?" "Yeah, it... it didn't end... perfect." "I actually kind of messed it up pretty bad." "Some not great..." "No, some... some really bad choices." "You know, Todd, something I've learned is that when I'm looking behind me, I can't see ahead of me." "Are you saying that dwelling on my past is holding me back?" "No, I literally can't see over there when I'm looking back there." "Which is why it's good to have you here." "Together, we can see in two places at once." "Want to dig up some more weird crap buried by a dead guy?" "More than anything else in the world." "What does this have to do with the missing girl?" "Well, we have reason to believe that she was last seen with Gordon Rimmer." "By the, uh, the bellhop." " Yeah, by the bellhop." " Yes, by Todd Brotzman." "Todd Brotzman." "Plus, we just spoke to the top zoo official about getting into the building where Rimmer worked." "And they said the place, the Animal Transfer Unit," " is condemned." " Yeah, locked up." " Nothing there." " Nothing there, so they say." " And you don't believe them?" " No, we don't believe them, so please, why can't we just go inside, take a look?" "Well, it doesn't sound like you got enough for a warrant." "What?" "What is this... a joke?" "Gordon Rimmer was seen with Lydia Spring." "The very next day, his house burns down... they find a body inside." "His dog was visible on a tape from the Perriman Grand!" "His dog!" "And now we're telling you that we have access to an abandoned building where he used to work!" "And you're telling us we can't go inside?" "!" "Plus, Animal Control never followed up on that missing shark." "Plus, Animal Control..." "I don't see it, and I don't think a judge will, either." "Move on." "What was that?" "What the hell just happened to us?" "Am..." "Am I losing my mind?" "No, you're not losing your mind." "I don't know." "Maybe he's covering for some Major Crimes shit-fit." "I don't know." "We're not wasting any more time." "What are you thinking?" "Are we sure this is all of them?" "Here, here." "Like this." "That's the wrong..." "Oh, oh." "Ah, yes." "No." "I was just about to do that." "Tremendous assisting, Todd." "What do you think this thing is?" "Maybe Edgar Spring's machine, the Unlimited Energy Device." "Really?" "I don't know, but if we can trade it for Lydia Spring," "I should think it's our top priority." "Listen, Dirk, I've been meaning to ask you something." "Do you ever, like... see things?" "See things?" "Like visions of the future?" " No, of course not." " Okay, right." "This..." "This might sound crazy, but when you gave me this shirt..." "Okay." "I've seen this shirt before." "Listen, the day it all happened, the day Patrick Spring died, I saw something." "I saw something really..." "Look out!" "Oh!" " Oh, oh!" " Aah!" "Mnh!" "Oh, shit!" "Aah, aah, aah!" "Dirk!" "Jed, get down!" "He's got the shark!" "A kitten and a shark." "The kitten is the shark." "Todd I think we found the murder weapon." "No visual on the Incubus Subjects." "They're close." "I'll handle it." "You watch from here." "Visual on the girl." "Don't move." "Got it." "It's your birthday!" "Oh!" "Ah!" "Huh?" "Huh?" "Yeah!" "Vogle!" "Boys!" "We need to talk!" "Martin, we need to talk." "You should not be here." "Now, the Rowdy 3 ain't got no use for you." "Simmer down." "You're gonna have to do more than that to scare me." "S-Shut up with that shit!" "You kiss your mother with that mouth, Cross?" "You see what you did there?" "You stepped yourself into a nasty situation." "You don't tell us what to do no more." "I'm not trying to tell you what to do." "I just want to talk." " We should stomp his ass." " Gripps." "Your family misses you, Gripps." "Your family's gonna miss you, too." "What are we waiting for?" "!" "It's him!" "He's the guy!" "Let's stomp his ass!" "That's very tough, Vogle." "You sound like a real grown-up." "You..." "Now, you ain't gonna put me and my Rowdy boys back in no cages, man!" "I'm trying to save your lives." "It's different this time." "We're not going back to no freak zoo!" " Drop the weapons!" " Aah!" "What in God's name are you doing?" "Drop the weapons and back down now!" " Let her go now." " What?" "Let her go." "Let her go." "Now." " Just trying to take control of the situation, sir." " No." " We see you." " Don't think we don't." "We're gonna get you." "S-Shut up and back down now!" "That's low even for your kind of scum." "Don't be scared, Drummer girl." "We'll see you again." "Let's go!" "Aah!" "Martin!" "Vogle!" "God damn it!" "She bit me!" " That's enough." " What?" "Sir, I was just... just trying to..." "Ohh!" "This is bad." "This is very bad." "Are we actually doing this?" "Yeah, we're actually gonna do this." "You're Goddamn right." "He was acting awfully funny." "Something's wrong." "Something's very wrong." "We're gonna go there right now." "But is it the right thing to do?" "For Lydia." "If she's even still alive." "What kind of thing is that to say?" "What's wrong with you?" "I'm trying to be positive here." "Stay positive." "Why didn't they just kill us in our sleep and take the map?" "I don't think they even knew we had it." "It was the machine they were after." " Ow!" " Hold still." "Why did they have to be pink?" "Ask the cook." "It's his jeep." "Thanks, Todd." "You know, for someone who constantly talks about what an asshole he is, you're quite a good friend." "What?" "No." "No, Dirk, I'm a terrible friend." "You just, like... project that friend stuff onto me." "You know what I was thinking about when I was staring down the barrel of that gun?" "Bullets?" "Amanda." "How, if I die, there will be no one to take care of her." "You're a good brother." "No." "No, I'm a shitty brother." "I'm a shitty person." "I was thinking about how, if I die right now," "I'll never have the chance to make up for all the stuff I've done to her." "D-Done to her?" "Todd, I think with both of you sharing the disease, you supporting her has been..." "I didn't have the disease." "I didn't have Pararibulitis." "What?" "Then..." "It ran in my family." "I lied and said I did so my parents would send me money and I wouldn't have to work." "But why..." "Why not just... get a job, or..." "I don't know." "I can't even remember the first time I lied about it." "I don't even relate to that person anymore." "I just..." "I-I don't know." "I don't know." "So... when Amanda really got sick with the disease that I was faking I realized that she needed the cash more than me, so..." "I said I got better." "But it was too late." "My parents had already run out of money." "But you support her." "But..." " Maybe you..." " I couldn't." "She thinks I was cured of a disease that she actually has." "Do you know how many times she's told me that's what gets her through the day, that's what gives her hope?" "How could I take that away from her?" "So... there's your assistant, friend, whatever, Dirk." "I am, and always have been a total and complete asshole." "Where's the kitten?" "Oh." "Shit." "Kitten!" "Kitten!" "Here, Kitten." "Kitten!" "Bart?" "Bart, wait!" "I'm sick of hangin' around like a coconut." "You're slowing' me down." "All this sleeping and eating stuff distracts you from what you got to get done." "Wh..." "Wh..." "What are..." "What are you going?" "What are you doing?" "See?" "There we go." "Wait." "Wait." "What are you doing?" "I'm gonna kill that guy." "That's Dirk Gently?" "I don't know, Ken." "Let's kill him and find out." "Wait, what?" "I thought we got over this." "This is not like Red and the bikers." "You can't just kill some guy in broad daylight in the middle of a crowded street." "It's what I do, Ken." "It's all I do." "It's the will of the universe." "I know." "I know, okay?" "But you don't want to end up in jail, right?" "I mean, how are you going to fulfill your mission to kill to Dirk Gently if you're locked up in a cell?" "Maybe that's where Dirk Gently is." "In a women's prison?" "You talk too much." "Hey!" "You!" "Dickhead!" "Come over here!" "Come here!" " Oh!" " Oh!" "Listen to me." "No more arguments, no more excuses." "There is no stopping me, no even slowing me down." "You touch me again, you get in my way again," "I'm taking your head off." " No one saw him." " Oh, my God!" " Phoning 911 right now." " Okay, I-I don't know." "I need pants." "I thought this building was supposed to be locked up." "Run the plates, right?" "Let's check it out first." "Whoa, what if they're in there?" "If they're in there, then they're in there." "Oh, this place has got all kinds of code violations." "You think?" "You ever seen graffiti like this?" "This is some new kind of crazy." "What is this place, Zim?" "Hm?" "Stay close." "Keep quiet." "Yeah." "Oh, shit." "Oh, that stinks." "Holy shit." "Oh, my God." "35 bodies." "Like, 35 bodies." "I want to see the captain stonewall this." " This is headline news." " Still no bars." "It's got to all that electrical stuff in there causing interference." "Well, go, radio." "Radio for some backup." " Radio for the entire forensic team." " Yeah." "God damn it, call the whole National Guard!" "There is gonna be trouble." "Yup." "I can smell it." "Zim, I just don't..." "Zim?" "Zim!" "No, no." "Come on, buddy." "Come on, come on." "Come on, come on." "I told you to stay down!" "Lydia?" "Zim, you with me?" "Shh, shh." "Get you up." "You need to get up." "Come on." "Come on, God damn it!" "Come on!" "Hang in there, Zim!" "You hear me?" "Talk to me, buddy!" "Hospital's only 10 minutes away." "You hear me?" "Zim!" "All right." "All right." "All right." "No, no, no." "No, no, no, no." "We're gonna get you some help, man." "We're..." "We're gonna get you some help, okay?" "Don't do it, man." "Don't." "S..." "Save..." "Don't, Zim, please." "Save Lydia Spring." "No." "Oh, God." "Shit, shit!" "No!" "Psst!" "Psst!" "We're never gonna find her." "It's..." "It's pointless." "She's long gone by now." "Have you ever felt directionless like you didn't know what to do next?" "I thought that was your thing." ""Everything is connected."" "It is." "Everything is connected." "But only I can see it." "I'm not psychic." "But I am... something." "When I was young, I would get..." "intuitions about things, little hunches about the way the universe worked." "But they never..." "It was like reading in another language, like signs with symbols I didn't understand." "Well, then why don't you, you know, use it to keep yourself safe or..." "Because that's not how it works." "The hunches don't help me... ever." "So I figured I might as well use them to try to help other people." "You're the first person who's actually stuck around and helped." "You're the first person who's actually acted like a friend, whether you acknowledge it or not, and to be totally candid..." "I'm a bit sick of your bullshit, Todd." "What?" "Well, I just wish you'd stop saying you're an asshole." "I don't think you are, so it comes off a bit cheap." "Cheap?" "Have you not been listening?" "It's very easy to act like a jerk, and then say," ""Well, I'm a jerk, so that's that."" "But it's not like being a bloody werewolf, is it?" "It's just you making excuses for your excuses." "I don't have any friends." "I am always surrounded by bizarre and frightening states of disaster, and I am always alone." "Even you keep saying you're not my friend." "But since you're the closest thing I've had," "I'd really appreciate it if you'd stop calling yourself an asshole." "Okay." "You're right." "Huh?" "When we get back in the morning, we'll solve the murder of Patrick Spring, save Lydia, and figure out whatever the hell that thing is." "And I'll tell Amanda the truth... about everything." "Mm." "And, Dirk I am your friend." " Oh!" " Whoa!" "Why do you have a knife?" "O-kay." "Dude..." "I am so happy to see you." "Are you okay?" "No." "Shit's crazy." "I'll tell you whatever you want to know." "Excellent." "Yes, okay, that's good." "Okay, perfect, um... spectacular." "Uh, just so you're aware everything is under control." "Everything is under, uh..." " Are you okay?" " Uh, yeah." "Listen, did you talk to your brother or, um, uh, Dirk?" "No." "What's going on?" "I just saw Lydia Spring." "I read your report... but I wanted a more personal account." "Shouldn't you be asking my superior officer, Ma'am?" "I'm asking you, Corporal." "I am ultimately in charge of this operation, but I wanted to ask your opinion." "My understanding of the mission is that we're to bring in the subjects of Black Wing, Ma'am." "Correct." "We tried Project Icarus first." "Dirk Gently." "And...?" "He said he didn't want to, Ma'am." ""Didn't want to."" "That's right." "Didn't want to be brought in." "Something about a... rough childhood, Ma'am." "I suggested a more aggressive approach, but Colonel Riggins rejected it." "I see." "So you next moved on to Project Incubus?" "That's right, but we were met with strong hostile response." "Colonel Riggins' choice to" "C-confront them without backup..." "I suggested a more traditional means of attack, but that was vetoed by the Colonel, Ma'am." "So your strategy would have been to use a more aggressive approach?" "Yes, Ma'am." "Truth is, Colonel Riggins is too close." "He's emotionally involved, and it's blinding him from the realities of the situation." "There's a reason why the Neanderthals fell to the Homo Erectus." "Do you think you are capable of being more aggressive?" "Yes, ma'am." "Very Erectus." "Much more aggressive."
