It was always my intention to handle the glaringly obvious fact that Detulux Incorporated trades under the same name both legitimately and illegitimately, so here we are! This is the first time it's ever come back to bite them in the bottom. Surprising it hasn't happened sooner, honestly.

Title - 92: "An Inspector Calls"
Subtitle - iii. "A Surprise Visit"
(In Pain's office, the Captain removes a sheet of paper from his back pocket.)
Captain: H.G. wanted you to know they've assigned a new agent to your case at Interpol.
Pain: Who's it this time? Some young punk looking to make a name for themselves? An old buffer looking to make the news?
(Captain reads off of the sheet of paper in his hands while Pain leans back in his chair while stroking his cat, looking unimpressed.)
Captain: Some guy called "Jacques Russo".
Pain: Never heard of him. I wish him all the best!
Captain: Good, because he'll be here in ten minutes.
(Surprised by the news, Pain topples backwards in his chair on the floor behind his desk with a THUD. Snowball the cat looks down at his fallen master from the desk.)
Pain: Wha-SHIT!
Snowball: Mrr?
(Pain pops back up behind the desk, glasses crooked and hair messed up from the fall. His sudden appearance scares the cat.)
Pain: What?! Here?!?
Snowball: MROAW!
(The Captain continues to read from the paper in his hands.)
Captain: Apparently Interpol made the connection between Detulux Inc. the domestics company and Detulux Inc. the highly illegal arms dealership.
(Ben leans over, frowning.)
Ben: Ah wonder how they made that connection?
Captain: I know, who'da thunk?
(Emerging from behind his desk, Pain takes off his jacket and straightens his glasses.)
Pain: I need to get changed! Tidy this bloody place up! And get everybody moving the gear now!
(The Captain begins heading towards the door.)
Captain: Your lawyer will meet you at the front door in five minutes!
(Pain heads to his wardrobe and opens it. Ben stands where he's been the entire time, still holding the throne-like chair he brought into the office last episode.)
Ben: ...Kin ah put this chair doon now?
Episode tagline: I don't want to break the immersion here, but between you and me I don't think INTERPOL actually have agents that they send out across the world to catch crooks. Maybe they should pick a name that doesn't sound like "International Police", then. "NOTINTERPOL", maybe.
