up hey lieutenant

i'm sorry downtown

and now the conclusion of our story

okay miss kings you're free to go good

i can get back to business

i'm gonna have to talk to you about that

uh it seems like we might have a little

problem

nothing too serious but uh i think

just until the drug business gets

cleared up lieutenant

if i were a drug dealer would i have

turned 8 000

over to the police well i understand the

ea's office sees it differently

lieutenant i was set up

i believe you but right now you can't

prove that and neither can we

before this is over whoever planted

those drugs

is gonna wish they hadn't

so

hey tell me what you were gonna do man

why should i

i tell you what you need to know buddy

you knew i wouldn't go along with it

anyway

mission accomplished caster says we

reoccupied powerhouse

tonight that's just great hey tony come

on

we're your friends remember

don't you understand tony was a plant a

spy

he set us up say one thing for him

though the guy can act

he ought to win an oscar for best

performance as a friend if you care

about tony

you might want to hear his story before

you write him off as a friend

mr mrs washington i'm looking for

somebody maybe you can help me

his name is tony dominguez he runs

numbers around here he's about this time

he's got hair have you seen him

tony

no i haven't seen him today what about

you sir

hey tony wait up hey wait up man

oh

hold it hold it i've got to handle this

myself

but what if the police won't help what

are you going to do

that was then he was starting to like it

at powerhouse i don't know pepper

but one thing you've got to understand

powerhouse isn't just a place

it's a state of mind and i can

state of mind

see you later

we definitely have to stop meaning like

this miss hands what can i do for you

lieutenant do you really think i'm a

drug peddler

no i'm just gains i don't the name's

brenda

brenda then why don't you help me

lieutenant

your name's out what brenda

somebody's using these kids to run this

little record of this

now every time we nail them big money

comes in and magically springs them

look i'll go to the police i'll tell

them about caster and the g*ng if it'll

do any

good you gotta believe me man why else

would i be telling you this

you may be the only friend i've got

you'll talk to the others

it isn't possible that big money framed

me

to keep powerhouse as a headquarters

with a racket

so what do you want from me for starters

i want you to tell me how the numbers

game works

if i told you you wouldn't believe me

and i'll tell you what i will do i'll

show you how it works

so what about the big boss caster well

everywhere he pulls him up straight

we've got to flush him out you have no

idea who he is

nope that's not ever seen him if you

could tell the police what you know

about caster maybe they could find him

i'll do it if it'll clear brenda yes

willa

if if tony has a record who's gonna

believe him

he's right we've got to get some

evidence on who caster is

before going to the police wait a second

most deals with caster personally right

right

then there ought to be a way for murph

to lead us to it

look i've got an idea but it's going to

take a lot of money

tony you have to tell us everything you

know about the numbers game

jacob's the bad man

i was gonna put that bag above the door

over there bags got maybe a thousand

dollars worth of numbers money

a couple of minutes casters man will

come by

she wasn't supposed to do that

what the what are they using babies

doing

hey what's wrong with you

this is enough to pay for the costumes

and the radio and the car

worry

all my life

meet cookie duncan who decided to go on

a diet the first week she went on the

all grapefruit diet then brown rice and

pre-digested protein next week the oil

egg diet

followed by fruit seed and garlic liver

and snails

and finally the blended fish diet

and here's the results

forget fat diets the healthy way to lose

weight is to eat light

variety and exercise that's a sure way

to be a powerhouse

have you ever tried dancing it's great

exercise

it's fun you can do it when you're old

you can do it when you're young

or any time in between

so don't just sit there do something

the fun can last a lifetime so don't

just sit there

do something

now that we've got our license as soon

as this place is cleaned up

powerhouse will be open for business

thanks to the powerhouse g*n

so everything went according to your

plan no real pictures

at first then murph discovered kevin's

disguise and pepper got caught snooping

fortunately the microphone and hooked on

work picked up the whole conversation

between murph and castor and my recorder

picked up every word

but how did you know that the pollux was

the right boat there's a million votes

at the dock

elementary if you're a student of greek

mythology you see castron pollocks for

twin brothers and best friends

it was easy to identify the boat once i

saw the name

so you really pulled out this whole

thing by yourself

i did have a little hope for my friends

our

think of house you can do you can't hold

it still you keep on working until

the powerhouse is

until

you
