   |   #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.    |
   |                                                               |
