| The Lone Gunmen |
| #1.04: Like Water for Octane |
| Sun Mar 18 2001 (runtime: 60 min) |
| |
| Jimmy narrates a rather twisted history of heroes as he |
| talks about his admiration for the Lone Gunmen. We see |
| clips of each of the Gunmen as a child. John Fitzgerald |
| Byers, living in Sterling, Virginia, grows up wanting to be |
| a career bureaucrat so that he can "help people." Richard |
| Ringo Langly grows up on a dairy farm in Nebraska, wanting |
| to be a Computer God. Melvin Frohike, already a Man of |
| Action in Pontiac, Michigan, beating up on football players |
| three times his size, expresses his desire to become a |
| crusading publisher and helping people, like his idol -- |
| Hugh Hefner. |
| |
| Yves sets the boys on the trail of a water-powered vehicle, |
| in hopes of procuring the information for an oil company |
| executive who is paying her very well. She leaks them the |
| information through and unfortunate Freedom of Information |
| office clerk, who dies shortly after giving Byers a box |
| containing a cinder block and a single sheet of paper. |
| |
| Frohike recognizes the name on the FOI sheet as the |
| inventor of a water-powered car that he met when he was |
| very young. He had, in fact, been taken for a ride with his |
| father in this wonderous invention, a moment that lives in |
| Frohike's heart to this day. |
| |
| The name leads them to the inventor's daughter, who |
| remembers Frohike rather less than fondly. Despite this, |
| she allows Frohike and Byers access to her father's lab and |
| his papers. While they go through stacks of papers, Frohike |
| once again has a pratfall that leads him to discover a |
| child's drawing of the sea-green water-powered car he so |
| fondly remembers. On the back of this drawing is a photo of |
| the inventor, and his best friend, one J.T. Guthrie. JT |
| was, coincidentally, the chop on the military form that was |
| given to Byers -- a shipping receipt for a pallet: the |
| water-powered car. It is stored in a missile silo. |
| |
| As the Gunmen and the inventor's daughter make their way |
| out to the silo, the tire in the VW van blows out. |
| Naturally, our boys have left the jack at home, "to make |
| room for the night vision goggles." Jimmy has a logical |
| solution for once, impressing everyone. Unfortunately, his |
| implementation leaves a bit to be desired, as he tips the |
| van into a water-filled ditch. Frohike, Byers and the |
| inventor's daughter take care of the van problem, while |
| Jimmy and Langly are left to seek shelter and information |
| with a farmer. The farmer happens to be J.T. Guthrie's son, |
| confusion ensues when Guthrie asks the boys if they're |
| there "for J.T." |
| |
| "Yes!" Langly insists. "No," Jimmy says, "there's something |
| weird about this." Unfortunately, once again Jimmy is |
| correct, and poor Langly ends up with his arm stuck up a |
| bull's ass -- a living nightmare come true, as he hated the |
| cows during his rural childhood. |
| |
| Upon return, we discover that the missile silo is just down |
| the road from the Guthrie farm, and of course Yves and the |
| boys make plans to infiltrate the silo and retrieve the |
| car. As usual, there's a problem with this. The silo is |
| about to be destroyed, burying the evidence they need. |
| Despite the imminent distruction of the silo, the Gunmen go |
| into action mode and rappell down into the silo. Yves and |
| Jimmy remain on the surface, among the assembled crowd |
| watching the impending fireworks. Yves tells the boys that |
| they don't have time, and besides, she's spotted the car |
| being driven away on the back of a truck -- it's not down |
| there and if they don't haul ass, they'll be going up with |
| the silo. |
| |
| Naturally, the silo explodes, and the Gunmen appear to |
| still be in that horrible hole in the ground. |
| |
| Hours later, into the night, Jimmy is digging through the |
| rubble with a pickaxe, while Yves tries to tell him that |
| his archaeological project isn't going to be useful. Both |
| are upset, but Jimmy is in tears. "I love those guys" he |
| says, and continues to dig. Moments later, out of the mist, |
| Our Heroes appear. They've escaped the exposion through a |
| ventilation shaft that came up some distance away, under a |
| porta-john. Both Jimmy and Yves display relief and delight |
| that the Gunmen are alive and unharmed, much to some of the |
| audience's surprise, as Yves has tended to be of limited |
| assistance to the boys. |
| |
| Making their way back to the farm, defeated, they find that |
| although the shell of the car is gone, the engine and the |
| frame -- the important stuff -- are still hidden on the |
| farm. The silo information was simply a distraction to keep |
| people away from the miracle invention. |
| |
| Shelley explains that her father's invention might not use |
| gasoline, but that in her and her father's view, to have |
| "free" energy from water would open people up to even more |
| environmental destruction, resulting eventually in even |
| more roads and even more cars. She persuades the Gunmen |
| that the invention should be concealed. For some reason, |
| the Gunmen agree (although this editor thinks they should |
| have bought the water-powered engine for their VW!) and |
| will not publish the story. |
| |
| We close with Frohike blissfully driving around in the |
| engine and frame, and everyone else looking on. Frohike |
| has, at least for a moment, found his Campbellian bliss. |
