Episode Summary

Faceman attends a reunion of the Angel Guardians Orphanage hoping to impress the one girl he could never get, Rebecca Piper. Little does he suspect that the object of his affection is after his 10.000 dollar reward. Narowly escaping from General Fulbright, Face gets a message from an old classmate's sister involving a fake treasure map he drew 20 years earlier. It turns out Barry, whom Faceman used to scam all the time when they were young, is in trouble. Now an oceanographer, Barry has found the location of a Spanish galleon, the Santissima, which contains the fabled Phillip's Cross. - IMDB

Episode Quotes

Murdock: I gotta have this thing back in three hours, okay, or Dr. Richter is gonna be very upset when he finds out that I borrowed his limo. It's gonna set the trust aspect of our therapy back three years, not to mention the fact he's gonna strangle me.

Murdock: If only we had a parrot. He'd have all the answers. We gotta find Barry's parrot.
Elaine: Uh, I don't think Barry has a parrot.
Murdock: Long John Silver had a parrot. Blackbeard had a parrot. Bluebeard had a parrot. He wasn't even a pirate, but he had a parrot.
B.A.: Hey man, we ain't got a parrot.
Murdock: Look, says it right here, Colonel, look at this. The pirates often talked to their parrots and the parrots repeated what the pirates pronounced.

Murdock: [in pirate voice] Rrrrrrr. Well shiver me timbers, he's discovered the map to the sunken treasure.
Face: Well, it's not the real map. See, I, I drew it.
Murdock: You, you traced it, actually. Uh, from Treasure Island Scribbler�s Edition 1951, I believe. It had a, a parrot on the cover.
Face: It just so happens it was Rand McNally 1916. But you're right about the parrot.

Episode Errors

During the car/boat chase scene Fulbright's car jumps off the end of the pier. An underview of the airborn car reveals that the car has no engine. - TV Tome

When Barry is being pulled out of the water by the villians it is clear that the boat is moving, but when the camera changes angle, it is clearly not moving. - TV Tome

You can clearly see that General Fulbright's unit on his uniform as airborne division when he should be considered military police. - TV Tome
