The Detulux team are shocked when the latest INTERPOL agent assigned to their case, Inspector Jacques Russo, puts two-and-two together and realises that Detulux Incorporated the legitimate domestics supplier might have something to do with Detulux Incorporated the illegal arms trading firm.
There's a mad scramble as Inspector Russo makes a surprise visit to Detulux HQ. Will Russo find evidence of a link and arrest the team? Is Pain really dressing as Doc Holliday and putting on a terrible Southern drawl as a disguise? What does Pain's (very expensive) solicitor have to say about all this?

Episode published on Sunday 13th of March, 2016.
If I had to pick my favourite cowboy, it would always be Doc Holliday hands down. A dentist turned gambler, he was given a few months to live by doctors when he was diagnosed with tuberculosis and went on to live several years, mostly by not giving a flying feck about anything, drinking hard and living dangerously.
I'm aware that the legend probably hypes the life of an otherwise trivial man but it's a hell of a legend and one I'm more than happy to buy into. Also, without the legend Tombstone wouldn't have been such a great film. Case in point.
Title - 94: "An Inspector Calls" Subtitle - v. "A Flawless Diguise"
(Outside the Detulux HQ building, Pain walks across from the front door towards a man in a green suit stood near a vintage classic Rolls Royce car who's tipping his trilby in greeting. Three henchmen watch this scene, one of them an elite in body armour. One of the three henchmen is the recurring character "Newbie", a.k.a. "the new guy". All three are in the middle of moving some crates using a trolley.)
Henchman: Head's up - the Boss has disguised himself as Sebastian Paine again. This should be a treat to watch, his Southern accent slips all over the place! Newbie: So the Boss is planning to fool this Interpol guy into believing that he's not the boss of Detulux, by pretending to be the boss of Detulux? Henchman: Yeah. Newbie: Mr. S. Pain "disguised" as Mr. S. Paine. Elite henchman: Yeah. Newbie: Why that's… Elite: …Bloody stupid? Newbie: Yeah. But really clever at the same time. But why's he dressed like Val Kilmer from that cowboy film "Tombstone"?
(The two other henchmen shrug.)
Episode tagline: The underlying message here, hidden in the nuance of the subtle dialogue, is that you should just go and watch Tombstone. In many respects that's the pivotal message behind Detulux Incorporated, actually.
