Parker you check the alley yes sir

malnutrition as a cause of

death what's your call I'm an ethologist

not a pathologist but it looks like he

was k*lled by a small caliber b*llet to

the Thor orx at close range that's why

there's not a lot of bleeding of course

it doesn't help much cuz he's still dead

uh hey Doc I need you to sign off on the

death

certificate bill that's all inspector I

had like to go home I could use some

rest with the codfather dead we'll all

rest

easier the chief told me to put the heat

on the codfather but someone beat me to

it with a real heater there's only one

guy that had both the motive and the

opportunity I was finally going to nail

calamari for 11 years that squid had

left a bad taste in my mouth and that

wasn't the only place he'd left bad

taste

[Music]

Wolf the boss ain't receiving company

I'm not company muscles open the door

the boss does not wish to be disturbed

look I just have a few questions to ask

him it'll only take a couple of minutes

I brought

muffins oh okay but make it quick flat

favorite I get rid of your Barnacles

upstairs but you got a real brine shrimp

problem on the foyer over here the boss

has a little pest problem he's got

bigger problems than that where is

he's having breakfast under Miranda at

2: in the afternoon hey look the bus had

a late night not as late as The

[Music]

Godfather file a suit against these

clowns there's no decoder ring in this

box decode this calamari somebody gave

the codfather the silent treatment last

night permanently with a 22 and I think

I know who do you Mr calamari is grief

stricken and has no comment I'll try to

collect myself earlier in the evening I

met with the coda we had business to

discuss afterwards I came home and spent

the evening alone doing paperwork how

[Music]

convenient excuse me may I borrow your

finger

Chief looks like a finger Chief I found

this morning right next to the coda's

body you have no evidence I have

evidence you have no motive the

codfather was putting the squeeze on

calar for the Shell Shack you have no

warrant I have a a warrant warrant uh

[Music]

sir

[Music]

hello ah 22 still warm which is more

than I can say about the Cod father that

can't be just a moment proof of

ownership has yet to be

established nah this is the boss's piece

all right don't you remember I gave it

to you on your birthday last year I even

put your initial on the

grip the boss is so hard to shop for

wait a minute that g*n was stolen from

me weeks ago I've been set up save it

for the judge I've waited 11 years to

say three little words to You calamari

why inspector I didn't know why

inspector I didn't know you cared you're

under arrest do something legal my

client has rights sure he does he has

the right to remain silent anything he

says can and will be held against him in

a court of law isn't it great to be

[Music]

alive cering calamari was a dream come

true for me and a nightmare for him

every hack and Shutterbug in town was

hanging around to see calamari thrown

into the Pokey and I was glad to

oblige way to go

[Music]

Gil nice collar inspector it's all in

the

starch well well well Mr calamari how

nice of you to stay with us won't you

sign the register allow

[Music]

me what the sucks and cups Gil I always

knew you had it in you you did Chief

well no not really but I'm happy you

proved me

wrong

you want the honors my fish don't mind

if I

[Music]

do uh there are a few Necessities I'll

require doing my stay which I assure you

I will be

bered sh**t oh sorry poor choice of

words I'll need fresh steamed vegetables

three times a day a capuccino maker

Sterling flat wear none of that plated

kind and silk sheets on this Abomination

you call a bed silver silk sheets kiss

my dorsal dead

beat Gilly I need to see you okay but I

can only make it a minute that's what

happens when you get old I'm awfully

busy right now Angel it's not every day

a cop gets to throw his Nemesis in The

Slammer sounds fun but whatever turns

you on Gilly you've got to let Camari go

he's not guilty angel I might have been

born at night but it wasn't last night

I'm talking about last night calamari

couldn't have k*lled the card

father he was with me funny he told me

he was home all night doing paperwork

alone nice try baby but I think he would

have noticed if you were around no I was

helping him study see Cal had to quit

school when he was 13 actually he burned

it down and it's always bothered him

that he never got it diploma it's true I

swear every word you better come up with

something better than that angel I'll

try but that may take me a

while calamari was behind bars and all

should be right with the ocean but

something was very wrong and I couldn't

put my fin on

it so I went in search of my favorite

informant the fish who knew everything

about every soul alive or dead

father fluke I need to talk ah Gil come

to Bear your soul my son actually I was

hoping you'd have something to tell me

about the codfather I know the feds have

been all over him the feds have been all

over him for years but the codfather

finally made one mistake he forgot to

pay his taxes and the feds were just

about to close in aha so taking the

Shell Shack away from calamari could

give him a new rinse cycle for his money

laundering funny now the feds are off

his back calamari is off to prison and

it looks like The Godfather is too dead

to enjoy it Neptune certainly works in

mysterious ways thank you Father fluke

it's been a religious

[Music]

experience hi doc I'd like to take a

look at the coda's body so would I but

the fish showed up and took possession

of the body right after it got here I

never got a chance to see it what about

the autopsy report no stiff no report

isn't that unusual we're not talking

your usual stiff just let me see the

death

certificate how the hell does he do that

how does he do that so late at

night so the doctor at the diner was

Julius kelp MD come on Tad let's make a

house

[Music]

call the guy picked a heck a place to

hang out as shingle float right in jents

only a few dollars for the time of your

life Tad the

address 728 Dunes

Boulevard excuse me sir isn't this a

doctor's office no but whatever you got

we can cure it upstairs

say as much as I wanted to see calamari

making license plates for me I knew I

couldn't let him serve time for a crime

he didn't commit I knew I had to dig up

some Clues and a funeral seemed like the

perfect place to

start it was a service Fit For A King

there was music flowers a crying Widow

all the things that make funerals so

much fun but something about the whole

affair didn't seem to fit and believe me

it wasn't Angel's dress woof thank you

angel thank you thank you thank you

anyway today we joined together to put

to rest a a great

octopus his girth was only matched by

the size of his heart and as we put him

to the sand what else can I say but that

I'm sure he's gone to a better place

yeah right amen and amen

[Music]

[Music]

oh

hey you surprised me inspector you

didn't look that clever looks can be

deceiving you wanted the feds to think

you were dead so you m*rder*d yourself

and set up calamari to take the fall too

bad your big ego wouldn't let you stay

dead and away from your own funeral

you're under arrest

codfather sorry detective maybe it

wasn't my funeral but it looks like it's

going to be

yours

and under I i32 that's

i32 one more time in

espol now remember this is for the humo

figure Deluxe party

pack

hey glad you could join us inspector

hope you're not too

winded oh fancy meeting you two again it

was an ingenious plan don't you think

everybody played their part perfectly

and now it's your turn to play the dead

cap get

up

they've got the drop on you inspector I

don't care what do you mean I'll take

you with me you wouldn't do that you're

not that stupid you'd be amazed at how

stupid I am what's it going to

be Dro them

boys like I was saying you're under

arrest for forging a death certificate

planting false evidence resisting arrest

and Ticking me off freeze federal

agents forget it guys you don't think

that federal agent line is going to work

on me do you what are you talking about

look doc kroer fell for that phony fed

bit but I'm a trained professional well

you're going to be an ex professional in

a minute oh yeah yeah pal the

Godfather's our color and yeah right

look Barnacle but if you know what's

good for you

[Music]

you let me guess either you guys are

really slow or you really are are

federal agents I was afraid of

that when you're a cop you never brag

about the one that got away the taste of

it gnaws away at your gut like a weak

old burrito we all know how that feels

yeah well at least I do somehow I knew

I'd see the codfather again and I was

looking forward to it because next time

I would really bury

him all right calamari you're free to go

oh dear having a bad day

inspector you free boss what a horrible

experience I feel like I was in The

Slammer you were you peab brain you

camped out in front of my cell all night

was that such a horrible thing no but

your snaring

wash this gross miscarriage of Justice

will be addressed you may be certain

false imprisonment inspector Gil we're

going to sue your scales off wait a

minute you should be thanking me I could

have let you fry oh my mistake inspector

I just spent an agonizing 24 hours in

this t*rture chamber without even the

bearish comfort and I owe it all to you

and your incompetence you were lucky

this time but wise up Wise

Guy it always feels good to do the right

thing even if it's for the wrong fish I

hated setting calamari free but he

didn't belong in jail at least not for

this case uh perhaps another time
