(MATT SHADE): It's a
dance competition show

called Ballroom Smash. Becca is the host

- [and executive producer.]
- What happened to her morning show?

Well, that's still going on.
This show is just

a one-off special. But if it goes well,

Becca says the network might
make it a regular event.

[Cool!]

So why does she want us there?

[All she would say was]

it's urgent. But fair warning,

Becca might just want to
show off her new gig.

Haha! OK. Well, I'll be
there in five minutes.

- Can you grab me a...
- [Double-double, ]

- [way ahead of you.]
- Here you go, sir.

Liam! What are you doing here?

I hired the kid. As of yesterday.

Looks like we're gonna be seeing
a lot of each other now, sir.

Hahahaha!

City of millions, you hired Liam?!

What can I tell you? I needed the help.

Kid's a great worker.
Customers love him.

- And not just her.

(MATT): Becca pitched this show
to the networks three months ago.

Celebrities paired up with
professional dancers one night only.

Is that Brody Diamond? I had
such a crush on that guy.

(MATT): I didn't know you
were into country music.

Who said anything about his music?

OK. So, he's one of the contestants,

- who are the others?
- We have tennis pro

Jordan Pallister, uhh...

stand-up comic Selena
Louise and Veronica Valor.

No way! Veronica Valor
from Rugged Landscapes?

The daytime soap?

It's been on the air for 30 years.

- It's Don's thing.
- Sure.

- Stop! Stop! Stop!

- Eddie!
- I know, I saw it!

It's the wrong lighting cue.

It goes group opening number,
then individual performances.

And where is Kelly? Did he
get the phones working yet?

How are people supposed
to call in and vote

if they can't call in? (SIGHING)

Shade! Oh, Angie! Thank God!

Becca! You seem stressed.

Stressed? Ha! Why? Oh,
is it because we go live

in less than 72 hours and
people keep asking me

where the judges sit?!

There are no judges on this show.

So, how can we help?

I need you guys to
investigate some incidents.

- Could you be more specific?
- Key wardrobe went missing,

one of the dressing rooms'
flooded, and yesterday

a light set a curtain on fire.

Sounds like you need a closet,
a plumber and an electrician.

- Hmm...
- These are not accidents.

Someone is trying to ruin this show

and tank my big shot.

Becca, I would be remiss
if I didn't point out

the fact that you tend
to overdramatize things

- when you get stressed.
- What he's trying to say is

it's all in your head. (PEOPLE GASPING)

Alright, we'll look into it.

Oh, but keep a low profile, OK?

No one can know why you're here.
Everyone's already freaked out

- "Curse"?

Some stupid ghost story.

I heard some of the crew talking.

Something about an actor who died here.

Showbiz insider dirt.

Sent you an article.

"Meteorological Meltdown:

Oh! Well, that explains everything.

[The network was developing
Ballroom Smash with an eye]

on Jeffrey Sanders for hosting,
but at the last minute,

they switched gears and
gave the show to Becca.

♪

Which means clear skies
all weekend long.

And that... a Jeffrey Sanders promise.

Back to you, Marissa.

Aren't you worried your face
is gonna stay like that?

Let me guess, you're here about Becca.

Come on, Jeffrey, it
was all over the news.

You wanted to be the
host of Ballroom Smash.

Live dance competition with
you as the host, that's

- a step up from weatherman.
- Oh, I admit it would have been

a feather in my chapeau,
but I'm over it now.

I wished dear Beckster all
the luck in the world.

FameChatter said you
threatened to sue the network.

Of course they did. They're
all about the clickbait.

- So you're not upset?
- Oh, on the contrary.

It is my fondest desire
that Ballroom Smash

is a smashing success,
catapulting Becca's career

- into the stratosphere.
- In which case,

she'll be too busy for her morning show.

And the station

will need to hire a new host
for Breakfast with Becca.

Sunrise with Sanders anyone?
So please, pass along

my best wishes. Oh! And, uh...
on the QT,

let her know that the
new network head is

not too happy about the
recent cost overruns.

You're saying Ballroom
Smash is over budget?

Between the contestant demands,
the production setbacks

and Becca's nonstop tweaking,
it is the perfect storm.

And Beckster is sitting right
in the path of the hurricane.

Shadow! Great to finally meet you!

Steve Sato, head of programming.

Ha! Is this... what
they mean by ergonomic?

It's another brainstorm
from the old regime.

But that's all changing now.

This is a workplace, not a playground.

Oh, sounds like you got

- a lot of changes in the works.
- Latest news

from FameChatter is that you're
axing all your predecessor's

I have a vision for this network and...

green-building initiative.

And what about Ballroom Smash?

- Is that part of your new vision?
- Absolutely. Why?

- We heard about your recent series
of setbacks: budget overages...

Every show goes through growing pains.

Between you and me, we've sunk
so much money into this thing;

Park him at the rooftop juicery,

"Jordan Pallister," isn't he a
contestant on Ballroom Smash?

For now.

His agent's trying to
break our contract.

Apparently, he's got

a new endorsement for a
German tennis racket.

What does that have to
do with Ballroom Smash?

His people are worried
that a dance show is

gonna diminish his street
cred, put the deal at risk.

Too bad, we've got him locked in.

- Whether he likes it or not.
- Like I said, this is business,

and no one's gonna stand in my way

Uh, yeah, I actually

I know you want to see a movie tomorrow,

but can I get a rain cheque?
Justine asked

- if I could help her study.
- Yeah, no problem.

Your grandfather asked if I
could work a double anyway.

He wants me to learn how
to make something called,

um, Fort Huron gumbo.

It's a 200-year-old recipe

with an incredible story behind it.

I'll tell you about it. Just
hang on, I'll be right back.

Incredible the first
10 times you hear it.

- See you tonight?
- Yeah, absolutely.

- Bye.
- Bye.

(PASO DOBLE MUSIC)

You really think Jordan is the
one behind all these incidents?

He's afraid he'll
jeopardize his lucrative

German endorsement deal
if he sticks around.

And since the network isn't
giving him an inch...

He's taking matters into his own hands.

Well, if that glorified

ping-pong player thinks
he can tank my show

just because he got a
higher-paying gig...

- Look out!
- Oh! Oh! Look out!

Ugh! Oh, my leg!

Get the set EMT down here right away!

There goes our prime suspect.

(MAN): Hurry up! Come on over here!
Lift!

- OK, don't move.
- (MAN): On three, lift.

- (GRUNTING WITH EFFORT)
- (WOMAN): Don't move. Careful.

(SHADE): OK, he's clear. Throw
that sandbag underneath it.

Shade?

- Got something?
- It's a clean cut.

- This rope's been scored.
- Yeah, this was no accident.

Whoever's behind this, they're
stepping up their game.

Hey!

Hey. How did it go?

Better than I thought. I
mean, I fully expected them

to cancel the show entirely,

Luckily, Steve was there to back me up.

So what are they gonna do?
Postpone it a week?

No, we're still going live in 48 hours.

With only three contestants?
I thought Jordan was out.

Oh yeah, he is. The hospital called

- to confirm he broke his leg.
- Hmm.

But the good news is

I managed to convince the
network that we have

a very strong substitute.

- You can't be serious.
- You were always

a great mover on the ice, Shade.

- No. Absolutely no way!
- But Jordan was

a tennis player, you were a
hockey player. Same same.

Besides the fact that
that is entirely untrue,

you're forgetting the
fact that I cannot dance!

You'll be fine! You're paired
with Raven, and she's the best.

And besides, nobody expects the
celebrities to be any good.

I'm also not into public humiliation.

Since when? Come on, Shade,

this is the only way I could get
them to not cancel the show.

And look, this way, you
could be on the inside.

You know, you could be
my eyes and ears and...

Not selling it, Becca.

I'm sorry. I know this
means a lot to you,

but every man has his limit,

and mine is dancing.

- (ACOUSTIC GUITAR RIFF)
- How do I look?

You're trying not to laugh, aren't you?

- (LAUGHING)
- Oh, come on, this is serious!

Please don't say, "This is serious"

- wearing that outfit.
- Look, we have a case

with no suspect and
now, thanks to Becca,

I am right in the line of fire.
In more ways than one.

OK. Uh... look,

I've been thinking about this.
The missing wardrobe,

the flood, the exploding light boxes;

those were either nuisances
or scare tactics,

but this last one, that
was a definite attack.

Do you think someone's trying
to take out Jordan Pallister?

It makes sense. According
to the show's website,

he is the odds-on favourite
to win the whole competition.

And with a half-a-million dollar
cash prize on the line...

That's half a million reasons
to take out the frontrunner.

Now, all we gotta do is get close enough

to the other three
contestants to figure out

which one of them needs
that 500K the most.

Actually, they all do.

Becca sent over some
background information

on the remaining three contestants.

Turns out that Brody Diamond has
a bit of a spending problem.

Hasn't had a hit for a while.

And... Veronica Valor is being
written out of Rugged Landscapes.

What?! She...

That's terrible. For her.

Um, what about Selena Louise,

- the comedian?
- No debts,

but she's the least famous of the three.

She's actually got the most
to gain by winning the prize.

- What's that?
- What?

That.

Oh, that's just something
that Zoe e-mailed

over here. It's a picture of the
Bellecroft Theatre's ghost.

And you put it on our
case board because...?

I'm just trying to keep
all our suspects alive.

- Haha!
- Human suspects, Shade.

- And don't forget your cape.
- Hahahaha!

Aaaah...

- Taxi!

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Hey, Brody Diamond. Matt Shade.

- Welcome to the Smash, partner.
- Hey, thanks.

Gallant move stepping up for the ex.

Ah, thanks. I wish it was just

- under better circumstances.
- Yeah, bummer about Jordan.

Sets falling, lights exploding;

people are saying the show is cursed.

Whatever. I'm keeping
both eyes on the prize.

I hear you. It's a lot
of money at stake,

and money makes people do

- crazy things.
- Hey, you got no worries there.

My new single drops the day we go live.

- Ticket back to the big time.
- Hmm...

That sounds like you're
back in the saddle.

You got that right.

I gotta admit I had a

of curiosity, why did you insist

on switching rehearsal times
just before the set fall?

Wardrobe malfunction. I
went to get it handled.

A dagger in your makeup
chair is pretty specific.

You're obviously being targeted,
Selena, any idea why?

I'm a comic.

I make fun of people for a living.

Why are you asking all these questions?

You're not really from
the network, are you?

We're private investigators.

We've been hired to look
into these attacks.

And until we can figure
out who's behind them,

we can't protect you.

We strongly suggest that
you don't go on tomorrow.

Screw that noise!

I dance tomorrow, I could
win half a million bucks!

That's freedom!

You should take the dagger
as a very serious threat.

Look, I'm not gonna let
some Casper wannabe

or anyone else get in my way.

That includes you.

(PASO DOBLE MUSIC PLAYING)

Careful! You don't want to pull a groin

on game day.

Couldn't make my performance any worse.

You're really nervous
about this, aren't you?

Well, of course I am, Dad.
I don't want to go

on national TV and make
a fool out of myself.

Wouldn't be the first time.

- Yeah, very reassuring, thanks.
- No, no, no.

I just meant that, you
know, a little bad press

doesn't change who you are.

- You know that, right?
- Yeah.

- Hey.
- Hey, honey.

I'm on my way to the theatre,
I'll see you later, OK?

OK.

- Was that satin?
- (DON CHUCKLING)

So you have a good time with Justine?

Yeah. I might do it again tonight.

Really? Two nights of
study in a row, huh?

That's, uh...

very conscientious of you, Jules.

- ♪
- How did you find out?

From a source I trust.

Dad?

Liam.

Yeah.

Apparently, you "butt-dialed" him

when you were out with your new friends.

Oh, God. Um...

was it... was it awful?
Is he... is he OK?

I think you should
take that up with him,

but I will say this:

any group that requires
you to make sport

of people that care about you,

maybe that's a club you
don't want to join.

- Oh, hey. How are you feeling?

I can't sleep. I don't know

if it's the cold medicine
or the ghost stories,

but I'm starting to get
spooked over here.

- [What's the latest?]
- Well, I contacted

Selena's agent, her manager,
even her former writing partner,

and they all said the same thing.

[Selena Louise has no enemies.]

Exactly. We gotta be missing something.

♪

Hello?

- [Did I lose you?]
- That ghost picture you sent...

[Oh yeah, sorry about that.]

No, I think you might
be on to something.

Really? 'Cause I was
just fooling around.

As the attacks of the theatre

got more personal, they leaned heavily

- into the ghost myth.
- [OK.]

Well, how did they know that
Selena was afraid of ghosts?

Wait. I've seen her talk about this.

- Hold on.
- ♪

[Open your computer and go
to the link I sent you.]

OK. Hold on.

[It's a bit she does. About growing up]

[in an old house as a kid and
getting scared at night.]

No, seriously,

ghosts were like the
bane of my existence.

OK? As a child, I was terrified.

As an adult, I have questions.

Yeah. You ever noticed
that all ghosts are men?

- (LAUGHTER)
- Right? Like Jacob Marley,

Beetlejuice, Patrick Swayze, Casper.

I have a theory about this.

It's that men won't ask directions

to the afterlife. Like, "I know

where I'm going."

Come on, guys, get a GPS, buy a map!

(MAN): So are you just gonna
trash guys all night then?

Oh! No, actually, I was planning on

talking about my fear of ghosts, but...

- Oh, good.
- Now that you suggested it,

maybe I'll just focus on you.
Yeah, maybe your friends

brought you here tonight,
so that you wouldn't die

of auto-erotic asphyxiation.
And instead of attacking me,

here's a suggestion: try
attacking that gut.

Yeah, take it to the spin class.

Dude, seriously. Speaking
of following directions,

you should try putting some
toothpaste on that brush

in the morn. Yeah.

I get it though, it's hard
to get access to your mouth

when your head is shoved
so far up your ass.

How about you use your mouth
for something useful like...

- (BLEEP, BLEEP, BLEEP).
- It's a good joke.

So don't you have to be
funny to be a stand-up?

- Isn't that kind of the criteria?
- (WOMAN): Hey, pipe down, dude!

(MAN): You can (BLEEP, BLEEP).
You know what I'm saying?

(WOMAN): Get the hell out
of here, you sexist pig!

- (BLEEP)!
- OK, that was harsh,

but doesn't she do that
ghost set a bunch of times?

No. Actually, I read an
article that she gave it up.

- That's a little weird.
- [I know, right?]

Listen, uh, the show's gonna start soon,

I gotta get to the theatre.

[OK. I'll do some more digging.]

- OK.

- 60 million?

And the comments were brutal.
People tore that guy apart.

- Did you figure out who it was?
- [Didn't have to.]

The crowd did it for me.
Someone found a link

to his Ameechee page and posted it,

and everyone started flaming him.

They got him fired from his job.
He lost his fiancée.

He basically had to change
his name and run away.

I sent you the link.

OK. Hold on, I'm just
