Scene 1:
Location: Apartment Building
Scene: Marshal Travers' Room
SIMON FRASIER, HENRY COLEMAN
>> Henry: Beautiful.
>> Simon: Bingo. They don't teach you that in mole school.
>> Henry: Hey, "Inspector Clouseau," we have work to do.
>> Simon: I am working -- looking for security devices.
>> Henry: What, his detectors might detect our detectors detecting his detectors?
>> Simon: Okay -- yeah, exactly. Look, this is gonna be the place where Travers does most of his dirty work, right?
>> Henry: Right.
>> Simon: So, makes sense that he'd have some sort of security rigged up. I mean, if I was running for D.A. and working for James Stenbeck, I would be covering my rear as well, right?
>> Henry: Ah, the infamous Mr. Stenbeck. You know, I'm curious to meet the man that has been terrorizing small town America. I mean, on a monitor from the safety of a back room, you know, but I'd like to see the guy everyone says that I've been working for. Isn't this thing amazing? Come here, look at this -- don't you just love it? Is this double-oh-seven, or what? Works like a camera, looks like a smoke alarm. Voila!
>> Simon: Well, listen, "W" -- Travers better buy it. That's all I'm saying.
>> Henry: I mean, you just put this baby up there, replace that one -- he'll never notice the difference.
>> Simon: Yeah, we hope, we hope.
>> Henry: Hope, hope? It's a skill, you faithless kangaroo, you! Chill. See, he hasn't even discovered the bug in his hotel room yet, has he?
Scene 2:
Scene: Apartment Building
Scene: Storage Room
SIMON FRASIER, HENRY COLEMAN
[ Simon and Henry are checking out the monitor and video recorder ]
>> Henry: No, the resolution's great, isn't it? Geez, I'm a genius.
>> Simon: I think your big head's getting in the way of the screen. You know what I want to do? I want to train the camera away from the bed and on to the chairs.
>> Henry: Hmm, well, I thought Paul's mother stabbed Stenbeck in the gut, so maybe he'll want to lay down, huh?
>> Simon: Yeah, right. Look, I'll be right back.
>> Henry: Wait, Simon, Simon, Simon -- Simon, wait. Come here just a second. Look at this. I think that's -- yeah, that's him.
>> Simon: Okay, maybe we want to leave the camera right the way it is.
>> Henry: Oh, yeah.
>> Simon: Nice suit.
>> Henry: Yeah. What's he doing?
>> Simon: Oh, man -- what do you think he's doing? He's looking for bugs.
>> Henry: All right, all right, all right. Now, he's not gonna think to look at a smoke detector, you know? I think we did a pretty good job with that, he's -- wait a second. What are you doing?
>> Simon: Where do you think he's coming to? He's coming to the smoke detector, and --
>> Henry: No, no, no- wait a second, wait.
>> Simon: Okay, now, listen.
>> Henry: Just please believe, please believe it's a smoke detector -- please. Please, please -- he's looking right at it. Please believe it's a smoke detector. C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon. That's it, that's it. That's right, that's right. It's not what you thought it was, all right. Thought he had us there.
>> Simon: Yeah.
Scene 3:
Location: Lakeview Towers Hotel;Apartment Building Storage Room

SIMON FRASIER, HENRY COLEMAN, BONNIE MCKECHNIE, ISAAC JENKINS
>> Isaac: Keep it short. Just get 'em back here.
>> Bonnie: [ on the phone ] Hi, it's Bonnie.
>> Simon: Yeah, Marshall's in his room. He didn't spot the camera.
>> Bonnie: Oh, that's great -- that's great, but you and Henry need to get here right away.
>> Simon: Why -- why, anything wrong?
>> Bonnie: Yeah, but nothing I can explain right now. Just get here, and I'll explain everything. Hurry. Maybe we can still get something on Travers. He's there right now, and if he's meeting with Stenbeck, that can be damning evidence on tape, right? My mom could still win.
>> Simon: Look, we're all clear. Ready to go?
>> Henry: Yeah.
>> Simon: You set?
>> Henry: Uh-huh.
Scene 4:
Location: Lakeview Towers Hotel
Scene: Paul Ryan's Room
SIMON FRASIER, HENRY COLEMAN, BONNIE MCKECHNIE, ISAAC JENKINS
>> Bonnie: Marshall found the bug.
>> Simon: You're sure?
>> Bonnie: Yeah, my mom was with him when he threatened to call the police.
>> Henry: Okay, that's it. I'm sorry, I have a problem with authority, especially those that wear a uniform.
>> Simon: Not so fast, mate. Look, maybe he was bluffing. It took us a while to get here, right? There were sign of cops.
>> Henry: What, you want to wait for them to kick in the door?
>> Bonnie: My mother is furious.
>> Henry: Oh, now, that's comforting. See, that's great. There's no cops, but the D.A. wants our scalps.
>> Bonnie: The D.A. wants us to shut this little operation down. And, guys, that's exactly what we're going to do.
