"I got some money and I'm gonna spend it

"It's Saturday night and I wanna play

"I'm gonna groove

till the break of day

"I'm lookin' for a fox

"Not a brand new pinstripe suit of clothes

"Big wide polka-dot tie

"Cuff links as big as jaybird eggs

and look at that

"Shoes made out of alligator hide

"Wanna see somethin' else here?

"I'm ripe and ready and I'm hot to trot

- "Boy, you on fire

- "You know you can get anything I got

- "Two take for two

- "I got the money if you got the time

- "We open all night

- "All you gotta do is give me a sign

"I'm lookin' for a fox"

Mack, you know something?

You can sing, man.

Everyone please leave now!

- Where's Buster?

- I don't know.

Gas!

Come on! Hurry!

Elwood!

You okay?

The girls get out?

Yeah, everyone's fine.

Matara, thanks for everything.

Time to go.

They have automatic weapons.

Look in the glove compartment.

Carpet tacks.

They have guns and we have carpet tacks.

They're not carpet tacks.

They're dry-wall nails.

Roll down the window. Dump the nails.

The Lord works in mysterious ways, Mack.

What do you mean?

If not for those Russian gangsters

and you helping me...

...I wouldn't have seen you sing.

You're good.

Thank you, Elwood.

Since the Russians torched Willie's club,

he'll need a job.

You'll need a job. I'll need a job.

So, you'll join the band,

then we'll all have jobs.

- Follow me?

- Sure.

What band?

Lieutenant.

- Elizondo.

- Find anything?

No bodies, but lots of gunfire.

Find the club owner?

Not yet.

Wait.

You better see this.

Matt.

You finally sell that demonstrator?

Check this funky car coming in.

I got a weird vibe.

The suit's real neat,

but do I have to wear the hat?

These are unsophisticated men. They only

respond to fear and the draw of lucre.

We elicit this by using

iconographic symbols...

...and psychological intimidation.

The way we look together...

...presents a uniform image

of strength and organization.

Don't say anything.

Look mean. No smiling.

Good to see you.

Even though that last gig was a nightmare.

Boys, meet my new partner in the act,

Mighty Mack.

Mack, "Blue Lou" Marini,

Matt "Guitar" Murphy.

Mighty Mack.

So, what's this about?

Putting the band back together.

You can't mention that here.

She's back from lunch.

Elwood.

Ma'am.

Sorry to hear about Jake.

Thank you, ma'am.

Who's this?

My new partner, Mack McTeer.

Pleased to meet you.

Matt, can I speak to you privately?

Sure, baby.

When you got out of prison,

you said, "No more Blues Brothers. "

Yes, I did.

We've built up a good business using

the cash from the sale of the coffee shop...

...to start this Mercedes dealership.
