00:00:01,209 --> 00:00:02,793
[Charles-Haden Savage]
Sazz was my friend.
2
00:00:02,794 --> 00:00:04,086
We're trying to solve her murder.
3
00:00:04,087 --> 00:00:06,296
Right. For your podcast.
4
00:00:06,297 --> 00:00:07,465
- [crashing]
- [shouting]
5
00:00:07,757 --> 00:00:08,757
[grunts]
6
00:00:08,758 --> 00:00:11,010
- Ben Glenroy?
- [speaker] Ben's dead!
7
00:00:11,011 --> 00:00:13,846
I'm Glen Stubbins, Ben's stunt double.
8
00:00:13,847 --> 00:00:15,514
Can ya help me get a job on your film?
9
00:00:15,515 --> 00:00:17,766
You lost your stunt double.
I lost my acting double.
10
00:00:17,767 --> 00:00:19,643
- We could make each other whole again.
- [gunshot]
11
00:00:19,644 --> 00:00:21,186
[Howard Morris]
Oh God, they've been shot!
12
00:00:21,187 --> 00:00:22,896
- [crew screaming]
- It's Glen! He's still alive!
13
00:00:22,897 --> 00:00:24,815
[Detective Donna Williams]
Stubbins is stable, but unconscious.
14
00:00:24,816 --> 00:00:27,609
The bullet struck the plate in his head
and deflected to Gali-fine-akis.
15
00:00:27,610 --> 00:00:30,779
I sign on to your crazy for a lifetime.
16
00:00:30,780 --> 00:00:33,032
[Oliver Putnam]
You're giving me a doll's bracelet?
17
00:00:33,033 --> 00:00:37,411
I'm proposing to you, Oliver.
I wanna marry you.
18
00:00:37,412 --> 00:00:40,205
[Oliver] We're getting married
this weekend! [chuckles]
19
00:00:40,206 --> 00:00:43,751
Sazz figured this all out.
Maybe that's what she wanted to tell me.
20
00:00:43,752 --> 00:00:46,462
I vanted to tell you something
about your friend, Sazz.
21
00:00:46,463 --> 00:00:48,005
She was on the ham radio,
22
00:00:48,006 --> 00:00:50,799
asking about all dese huge plot holes
you had in your podcast.
23
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,595
You're how Sazz knew about
all the West Tower stuff in her notes.
24
00:00:54,596 --> 00:00:59,308
She talked about a stuntman on a movie
called Project Ronkonkoma.
25
00:00:59,309 --> 00:01:01,226
She said, "He's gonna be the death of me."
26
00:01:01,227 --> 00:01:03,103
- [phone clicks]
- What's Project Ronkonkoma?
27
00:01:03,104 --> 00:01:05,105
Here we go! Project Ronkonkoma.
28
00:01:05,106 --> 00:01:07,357
Who's the stunt person?
Is it someone we can talk to?
29
00:01:07,358 --> 00:01:09,652
- [Mabel Mora] Not exactly.
- [equipment beeping, hissing]
30
00:01:11,529 --> 00:01:14,532
[♪ jaunty music playing]
31
00:01:16,367 --> 00:01:20,538
[Charles] For those of us in film and TV,
the people you work with are everything.
32
00:01:20,914 --> 00:01:23,332
Until it's time to move on
to the next show,
33
00:01:23,333 --> 00:01:25,668
and then it's easy to lose touch.
34
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,462
Talk to Pataki.
35
00:01:28,463 --> 00:01:30,798
Hey hey, Spanko! How's it goin', man?
36
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:32,801
No, no, you're good. I'm just leavin' set.
37
00:01:33,593 --> 00:01:37,263
Project Ronkonkoma!
Of course I can wrestle up a team!
38
00:01:37,764 --> 00:01:39,306
[Charles] But sometimes,
you meet a person
39
00:01:39,307 --> 00:01:41,517
you don't want to let go of.
40
00:01:41,518 --> 00:01:44,103
And sometimes, they can change your life
41
00:01:44,104 --> 00:01:46,271
in ways you never saw coming.
42
00:01:46,272 --> 00:01:47,356
Ha, ha!
43
00:01:47,357 --> 00:01:49,149
[starts car]
44
00:01:49,150 --> 00:01:50,567
- [person screams]
- [tires screech]
45
00:01:50,568 --> 00:01:51,860
- [person yelps]
- [papers rustle]
46
00:01:51,861 --> 00:01:52,945
Geez!
47
00:01:52,946 --> 00:01:56,115
- [person groans]
- That was some flip!
48
00:01:56,116 --> 00:01:58,492
I teach that in
my Advanced Somersault Intensive,
49
00:01:58,493 --> 00:01:59,868
which is in the winter.
50
00:01:59,869 --> 00:02:01,662
[person panting]
51
00:02:01,663 --> 00:02:03,747
You ever stunted before?
52
00:02:03,748 --> 00:02:05,667
[quiet hospital chatter]
53
00:02:07,043 --> 00:02:08,085
[Mabel]
There he is.
54
00:02:08,086 --> 00:02:09,837
[in Irish accent]
Excuse me, you can't go in there.
55
00:02:09,838 --> 00:02:12,381
Oh, uh, we have to. Uh, we're his family.
56
00:02:12,382 --> 00:02:14,675
[in Irish accent] Uh, that's right.
We're the Stubbins, you know.
57
00:02:14,676 --> 00:02:18,720
I'm Oliver. Th-This cailín is Mabel,
and of course, you've met cousin Charles.
58
00:02:18,721 --> 00:02:20,681
[in Irish accent]
And it sure is good to know ya!
59
00:02:20,682 --> 00:02:22,141
Well, the accent's new.
60
00:02:22,142 --> 00:02:23,559
[normal]
Well, it's in and out.
61
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,103
Okay, fine, we're here
investigating a murder,
62
00:02:26,104 --> 00:02:27,688
and we need to see Glen.
63
00:02:27,689 --> 00:02:30,107
Glen is in a fragile state.
64
00:02:30,108 --> 00:02:32,401
He can't be subjected to
an interrogation right now.
65
00:02:32,402 --> 00:02:36,113
No need to worry, darlin'.
These are mild questions.
66
00:02:36,114 --> 00:02:39,992
Like, uh, "We heard Sazz was
beefin' with her protégé.
67
00:02:39,993 --> 00:02:42,452
Might that be you, Glen Stubbins?"
68
00:02:42,453 --> 00:02:46,373
[in Irish accent] And sure,
whatever happened on Project Ronkonkoma
69
00:02:46,374 --> 00:02:48,167
on the Erin's green isle?
70
00:02:48,168 --> 00:02:49,918
Um, and you know,
71
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,463
"Did you murder our friend?"
72
00:02:53,214 --> 00:02:55,716
You're not goin' in. That's final.
73
00:02:55,717 --> 00:02:56,925
Also, what's with the beer?
74
00:02:56,926 --> 00:02:59,845
- [normal] Oh, uh, we were going to...
- No, please.
75
00:02:59,846 --> 00:03:01,681
...l-lure him out of his coma.
76
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:05,893
Ya thought the smell
of beer would rouse him?
77
00:03:05,894 --> 00:03:08,395
Why? 'Cause he's Irish?
78
00:03:08,396 --> 00:03:10,105
Did ya bring some corned beef, too?
79
00:03:10,106 --> 00:03:12,232
- No...
- [Oliver growls softly]
80
00:03:12,233 --> 00:03:14,443
We also brought smellin' salts.
81
00:03:14,444 --> 00:03:16,946
Good luck accusin' that
of being in bad taste.
82
00:03:17,488 --> 00:03:19,239
I don't even know if they work. [sniffs]
83
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,366
[snorts, gags]
84
00:03:21,367 --> 00:03:22,743
They work. They work.
85
00:03:22,744 --> 00:03:24,286
[gasps] We also brought a witchy board
86
00:03:24,287 --> 00:03:27,373
on the off-chance
he could control it with his mind.
87
00:03:28,750 --> 00:03:29,959
So?
88
00:03:31,669 --> 00:03:35,047
[Mabel] Well, the nurse said that
she'd call if Glen wakes up.
89
00:03:35,048 --> 00:03:37,007
- [Oliver] Oh.
- [Charles] So, what do we do now?
90
00:03:37,008 --> 00:03:39,301
What do I do with all this beer?
91
00:03:39,302 --> 00:03:41,136
Sazz gave them to me the night she died,
92
00:03:41,137 --> 00:03:43,305
but I'm never gonna drink them
'cause, as you know,
93
00:03:43,306 --> 00:03:44,973
beer is a peasant's drink.
94
00:03:44,974 --> 00:03:47,226
Oliver, I'll take your peasant's beer
95
00:03:47,227 --> 00:03:49,020
because I'm such a good friend.
96
00:03:49,354 --> 00:03:51,230
You know, I've been thinking.
97
00:03:51,231 --> 00:03:54,399
You're getting married in a few days,
and what if I took you out
98
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,570
and bought you a non-beer drink to,
uh, celebrate?
99
00:03:58,738 --> 00:04:01,365
Charles, are you offering
to throw me a bachelor party?
100
00:04:01,366 --> 00:04:03,325
I don't care what people say.
101
00:04:03,326 --> 00:04:05,411
You're not an ice prince.
102
00:04:05,995 --> 00:04:07,997
[growls] Good people.
103
00:04:08,706 --> 00:04:11,166
Guys, it's the bartender from Concussions.
104
00:04:11,167 --> 00:04:12,542
Ah!
105
00:04:12,543 --> 00:04:16,380
The three jackasses who promised
to solve Sazz's murder.
106
00:04:16,381 --> 00:04:17,673
We're still doing that.
107
00:04:17,674 --> 00:04:20,050
- Hm, racked up a coma along the way.
- [Oliver starts recording]
108
00:04:20,051 --> 00:04:22,511
Hey, uh, you're in the stunt world.
109
00:04:22,512 --> 00:04:24,972
We heard Sazz's protégé on
Project Ronkonkoma
110
00:04:24,973 --> 00:04:27,057
was giving her a hard time,
111
00:04:27,058 --> 00:04:29,393
and Glen Stubbins ended up
with credit on the movie.
112
00:04:29,394 --> 00:04:30,811
No.
113
00:04:30,812 --> 00:04:33,814
Glen was brought in
to replace Sazz's protégé.
114
00:04:33,815 --> 00:04:37,402
The guy fucked up so bad,
Sazz had to blackball him.
115
00:04:38,069 --> 00:04:41,697
So, Sazz ended her protégé's career,
116
00:04:41,698 --> 00:04:43,615
and then Glen replaced him.
117
00:04:43,616 --> 00:04:46,202
That's motive to kill both of 'em.
118
00:04:47,078 --> 00:04:50,622
So, Glen was never our shooter.
He was another victim.
119
00:04:50,623 --> 00:04:52,249
Who was this protégé?
120
00:04:52,250 --> 00:04:55,627
- And what happened on Project Ronkonkoma?
- [bartender] I didn't know the guy.
121
00:04:55,628 --> 00:05:00,883
The only ones who know what went down
are Sazz, Glen, and the director.
122
00:05:01,426 --> 00:05:04,386
So, all we have to do is track down
the director of that movie,
123
00:05:04,387 --> 00:05:05,929
who was...
124
00:05:05,930 --> 00:05:07,014
Ron Howard.
125
00:05:07,015 --> 00:05:09,349
- [♪ lively theme song playing]

126
00:05:09,350 --> 00:05:11,936

{\an8}[Sazz Pataki] Oh! Your first
professional fire stunt.
132
00:06:08,576 --> 00:06:10,452
{\an8}- Oh! Alright.
- [claps]
133
00:06:10,453 --> 00:06:13,038
{\an8}Now I know we've been
over this a million times.
134
00:06:13,039 --> 00:06:15,665
{\an8}We're gonna make it a million and one.
Ready?
135
00:06:15,666 --> 00:06:17,125
- [protégé] Mm-hmm.
- [Sazz] Step one,
136
00:06:17,126 --> 00:06:20,879
{\an8}grab your fireproof jock from
the deep freeze. Strap it on.
137
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:25,133
{\an8}Step two, slather up
your tender bits with this stuff.
138
00:06:25,134 --> 00:06:27,010
Wrists, neck, ankles.
139
00:06:27,011 --> 00:06:29,805
{\an8}Anything not covered by... [sighs]
140
00:06:29,806 --> 00:06:32,015
{\an8}this flame-retardant vest,
141
00:06:32,016 --> 00:06:34,184
{\an8}AKA step three.
142
00:06:34,185 --> 00:06:36,645
{\an8}Yeah, it's a bit tattered,
it's a bit old school,
143
00:06:36,646 --> 00:06:40,190
{\an8}but it's a gift from my old man,
and it's kept me safe all these years.
144
00:06:40,191 --> 00:06:42,651
{\an8}Here, for you. Try it on.
145
00:06:42,652 --> 00:06:44,444
{\an8}Lather yourself up,
146
00:06:44,445 --> 00:06:46,530
{\an8}and we're gonna torch you.
147
00:06:46,531 --> 00:06:48,448
{\an8}Ooh! I'm so psyched for you.
148
00:06:48,449 --> 00:06:50,617
{\an8}Frank! You good?
149
00:06:50,618 --> 00:06:54,037
{\an8}♪
150
00:06:54,038 --> 00:06:57,374
Well, took us long enough,
but we finally are on the right track.
151
00:06:57,375 --> 00:07:01,087
{\an8}Only question is how the hell
do we get to Ron Howard?
152
00:07:01,796 --> 00:07:06,300
Well, I've been waiting to tell you this
for maximum impact, but...
153
00:07:07,301 --> 00:07:10,846
Ron-Ron and I are close personal friends.
154
00:07:10,847 --> 00:07:13,099
And you know it's true
because he called him Ron-Ron.
155
00:07:13,433 --> 00:07:16,643
I'll have you know our headshots
are hung right next to each other
156
00:07:16,644 --> 00:07:18,437
at my favorite Chinese restaurant.
157
00:07:18,438 --> 00:07:21,398
Well, next to each other
in an across-and-down sort of way.
158
00:07:21,399 --> 00:07:23,733
My face is covered by a plant,
159
00:07:23,734 --> 00:07:26,278
but my pompadour is pompin'.
160
00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:29,489
Great. Your pictures know each other.
That's incredibly helpful.
161
00:07:29,490 --> 00:07:32,242
Devastating that you know me so well
162
00:07:32,243 --> 00:07:35,662
and yet you could think
that was the end of my story.
163
00:07:35,663 --> 00:07:37,873
The year!
164
00:07:37,874 --> 00:07:40,333
1988. [sniffles]
165
00:07:40,334 --> 00:07:42,377
I was 10 dumplings deep,
166
00:07:42,378 --> 00:07:46,006
but who should enter?
Hollywood's own, Ron Howard.
167
00:07:46,007 --> 00:07:47,632
