- Your name really is John Smith, isn't it?

- You're a hell of a spy, Frankie Drake.

♪♪ (jazz music playing) - How am I supposed to go back to fetching coffee and answering telephones at the station after this?

- It was answering a phone call that started this in the first place.

- So do you think that means it could happen again?

- Don't you have work you have to get back to?

- No, they won't miss me.

Besides, I haven't heard the rest of the story!

- But we told it all, remember?

The Welland Canal.

Maud Muller.

Crisis averted.

- No, not the spy story.

Your story.

Drake Private Detectives, how did that happen?

♪♪ (chuckling) - What do you think?

- If this is your idea of a night on the town, we have some serious talking to do.

- So I've been thinking about what it is I want to do next.

- You're not going back to London?

- No.

For the first time, I think I might just stay put.

- Toronto's not so bad, you know.

- I do know.

I grew up here.

"Not so bad" is exactly why I left.

- This place isn't doing the city any favours.

So are you gonna tell me what we're doing here or am I gonna have to guess?

- Well, you are out of a job, and I'm out of a job.

- Please don't say you want me to clean up this dusty old warehouse.

- I'm thinking of opening my own private detective agency.

- That is a great idea!

This town could use a woman like you.

- You mean like us.

- I don't understand.

- You said that you've never met anyone like me before.

Well, I've never met anyone like you.

You're quick on your feet, you know how to handle yourself in a crisis, and your mother makes a mean rhubarb tart.

(theme music) So what do you say?

Are you in?

- Private Detectives?

I'm in!

(both laughing) How am I gonna explain this to my mother?
