It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: The Gang Gets Held Hostage
The gang is held hostage when the McPoyle siblings barge into the pub with guns and demands. They begin to form alliances and try and figure out the best way to get themselves out of the situation. However, all of them prove to be disloyal friends who have no problem stabbing one another in the back. While all of this is happening, Frank is stuck crawling through the vents of the pub in search of his will that's hidden somewhere up there.

Liam: Ryan, crank up the heat! We're gonna get this place hot and clammy. Just like the McPoyles like it.
Frank: (reading Charlie's cryptic message in the vents) "If here by now then bad place be. Trouble time for you when heat comes." Jesus Christ, the kid's an idiot.

Cultural References
Visual: Frank crawls around the vents
This is a reference to the action film Die Hard, starring Bruce Willis as John McClane. Frank crawling through the vents in a tank top with a lighter parodies scenes of McClane doing the exact same thing.

This is also a reference to Die Hard. The villain, Hans Gruber (played by Alan Rickman), leads McClane to a room where he has had all the glass shot out so as to injure McClane's bare feet.

Visual: Frank has a gun taped to his back
Again, this is a reference to Die Hard. Frank secretly tapes the gun to his back in the same fashion as McClane does right before he shoots Hans Gruber. The laughter right before the shooting also mimics that from the movie.

Frank: (draws gun) Yippee-ki-yay, Mr. Falcon!
One of the most famous lines used in the Die Hard films is "Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker!" However, this line was edited for television broadcasts. In Die Hard 2, McClane's line is dubbed over with, "Yippee-ki-yay, Mr. Falcon!"
