Vultures Episode 5... The teaser trailer......

Episode 5 - Trailer

The Pinkertons are closing in on the increasingly frazzled and paranoid detectives of V.P.I. when a mysterious fugitive shows up on their door. This fugitive is in possession of a secret microfilm belonging to the rival Pinkerton agency. Except he doesn’t know exactly where he put it. Although he suspects it might be inside him. And it could be a floppy disk or a USB key either. He’s really not sure. Can V.P.I. strike a blow to the Pinkertons before they’ve even opened? How do they get the microfilm from the fugitive? And really, who is this Natalie Blaise we keep hearing about?

Shane Hardy & Nicky Hardy (Peter O’Connor & Geoff  Warner Clayton)

Janine Drew felt like she was a big detective in a small pond (of detectives). Her only option: to branch out from VPI and take things into her own sovereign adorned hands. She needed her own agency and make no bones about it: Janine is gunnin' for that number 2 spot (right behind the Pinkertons, of course). But what Janine needed was some lackeys to do her dirty work. Someone who could act as a gofer, of sorts. Leg-work. Handing out flyers. Sweeping up. That sort of stuff.

Janine found her lackey's in Nicky and Shane Hardy after she followed up a lead about some keyed cars around the town. With Janine's ambition guiding them, the lads should have aspirations of becoming intrepid, mystery solving young sleuths. Perhaps bringing some diamond smugglers to justice? Unfortunately, it would appear that the lads would just prefer to sit around their cul-de-sac all day killing ants and setting fire to Tayto bags. If anyone can knock some sense into their thick heads, it's Janine Drew.

Facts:

1. -Shane once successfully bought 3 cans of Bavaria in the off-licence. He was so drunk after the first, he accidently dropped the other two onto his foot, fracturing it in four places
   

2. -Nicky once found an old television set in a field with the screen still in tact. He has said that smashing it with a hurl was the greatest moment of his life.
   

3. -Shane wears his neckerchief with pride, regardless of how times the lads at school (or Nicky) call him a bender.
   

4. -When they were younger, they had a pup called Scraps who would join them on adventures. Scraps bit Nicky on the shin after Shane stepped on his paw and after that, Scraps went to live on a farm.
   

5. -Shane and Nicky spent a summer at the Tully Farm with their dog Scraps. The dog had to be put down when he once again bit Nicky on the arm.

Introducing.....

Cast & Crew

Quint Quigley (Kevin Mooney)

Some people can get brain fried by consistent recreational drug abuse. Or some people can just be born that way. Either way, Quint Quigley is brain fried. He’s a paranoid tech head, an IT consultant by trade, an aspiring conspiracy loon. Well, why else would he put some files on a USB key and swallow it and then go running off? Quigley is a mess. A rambling, incoherent, paranoid mess. But he’s not half smart under that fugue of the demon weed. He can craft some of the most sophisticated bongs you’ve ever seen. Most notably, his bong within a bong. And he also trades in small arms. And ounces.

Quint Quigley wants to fight the power. He wants to stick it to the Pinkertons. Unfortunately he’s just too much of a mess to do so. But he’s a tryer and that’s why V.P.I. like him. Except when he got them shut down. Of course.

Facts:

1. -Quigley actually owns a hat made out of tinfoil.
   

2. -He once tried to set up his own underground newsletter entitled Quint’s Quizzical Qualms but buried the manuscript in a place he can’t remember because he was whacked.
   

3. -He has been arrested by border patrol 18 times in his life. And 17 times since the recession started.
   

4. -Wears a moustache to ‘stop electrodes getting up my nose’.
   

5. -He’s only buying his grass off Jack Street because Hamish Lane started getting really mean with his deals.
