#DUPE# (1994–1999): Season 1, Episode 3 - Condor - full transcript
When I got the page, I thought
something's not for sure. Now
that I see we're all here, I'm
certain on it. Yeah, I'm sure
Benny just called us here for
some kind of briefing though.
Yeah, we're driving over here.
I put in a 911 to our backup.
You called in a code setting.
It's a last result, Cole. I'm
telling you something's not
right.
Good day, gentlemen. Brian,
where's Benning? Well, the
captain asked me to meet you at
this place.
He said he received a
suspicious page from you
calling him to an emergency
meeting. As soon as we got the
code seven, we were on our way.
I didn't send any pages,
Westwood. But captain, you're
the only person authorized. But
I know that. This means we're
looking at a major security
breach. The only thing more
serious would be if your team's
cover was born. That's it up
there. We're approaching the
run to this point. And you've
succeeded in infiltrating the
syndicates, families. Gathered
enough evidence to shut them
down for good. Now, I speak for
the captain when I say this is
the most effective deep cover
operation we've ever had.
Building 43. Let's have a look
around.
Unfortunately, gentlemen,
Operation Broadside, it's
terminating. Whoa. We're on the
verge of putting these guys
away. We'll see that's the
problem.
You knew the job was dangerous
when you took it, boys. We're
going in.
Captain betting we have a field
emergency. All four deep cover
officers have been
prowls the streets in the
pursuit of justice.
Its technology. First century.
Its existence
but its presence
you.
This is Condor one over. This
is
Just give me a lock on the town
on Condor One. That still
looking.
Condor 1, do you have a visual
on the count? Uh, turn right at
12 street. Condor 1, I need a
precise location. Sorry,
It had to have been a syndicate
hit. The mob must have pulled
their covers. Yeah, but four
cops infiltrated into four
different families. I mean, how
could they all be exposed at
the same time? It had to be set
up by someone on the inside.
Another cop. We're going to
find out. What do you say we
start with Captain Benny? But
forget it, Cole. I've known the
man my whole life. He's
incorruptible. Well, I'm not
accusing him of anything but he
is Metropolis oversight officer
in Operation Broadside. If you
want to question him, go ahead.
I mean, I'm sure he'll tell you
everything he knows. You're not
coming It'd be like
interrogating my father. You
can handle this one your own.
Not for a while, you can't.
Benning's behind closed doors.
The police commission convened
an emergency in question to the
murders about a half an hour
ago. Well, our only other
leader is the Condor Pilot. Did
you pull a file, Ally? Mm hmm.
Lieutenant Mitchell Gage,
ex-air cab, career skycop,
spotless record. Yeah and a
liar. What are you talking
about? I checked the dispatch
records. There was no code
three issued to the condor this
afternoon. He ditched me on
purpose? And this guy's fly
Metropolis aerial equivalent of
the Viper? Wait a minute, hold
on, okay? There's no
comparison. The fact is Gage
pilot's a powerful aircraft
with state-of-the-art
surveillance equipment. If he
would've stuck to that chase,
whoever killed those cops would
be behind bars right now.
That's why I arranged to go
undercover in the Condor
Division. I'll be flying with
Gage in the morning.
A police department
spokesperson reported the four
gun down officers were involved
in a highly sensitive operation
and they are not releasing
their names at this time. When
asked if there were any
suspects in these murders the
spokesperson said not at this
early stage.
I don't know a cop in this city
who wouldn't love to have five
minutes alone with the guys who
did this.
Nothing. Hey, why don't you
take off Brett? I'll put her to
bed. You sure? Yeah, you gotta
get out of here. See you in the
morning, Mix. Okay.
Careful, Gage. That city
property. You murdering son of
a **** Nice work today. Keeping
that red car off my tail. Nice.
Are you shooting me? Hey,
Mitch. No one gets hurt. I was
just doing my job. Those boys
were in the way. Of what? The
payday of a lifetime? You take
the top four syndicates in this
city and you pull the
resources, you can come up with
a mighty attractive salary.
Now, they asked me to flush out
some moles. I get a hold of
Benning's access codes which
gets me in any files I want and
I do it. Four cops, man. You
killed four cops and made me an
accessory. Now, I didn't buy in
for this, not murder. You
bought in because your ex-wife
spent every penny you made and
even more that you didn't.
You're not too good with women,
are you, Gage? Well, guess
what? You're not broke anymore.
Now, you can even make your
next child support payment. No,
no, you know what? Keep your
money. I don't want it. Well,
you think you can pull out?
Simple as that. You said it
yourself. You are an accessory.
Those are good cops. We were
all good cops once. Now, I told
you they were in the way. So,
you just kill whoever gets in
your way, is that it? It means
setting myself up. Never having
to worry about anything for the
rest of my life. You bet your
**** I do. Now, I promised you
a big payday too, didn't I?
Well, not that this
infiltration problem is behind
us, we're clear to carry on
with our plan and it's going to
put figures in your pocket and
it's guaranteed. No more. No
more. I'm out baby. You know
the syndicate boys? They had no
problem scrolling in the chips
to take care of those cops.
So if you bail on me now,
you'll wind up like them.
You think about gauging? Six
figures and all you gotta do is
be in the sky when we need you.
Captain Benny.
What are you doing here? We
need to talk.
Can't just wait till morning.
I've been answering
is on the commission. I'm just
trying to get to the truth
here, captain. We all are. We
know the deep cover men all
received coded messages on
their pages. Which brought them
to building forty-three. The
only people who had access to
the pager numbers or the codes
were me and the four cops.
Officially noone else has
higher security clearance. Is
there a chance someone could
have dug out the information? I
don't know any security system
that's 100 percent, do you? So
it could have been anyone.
We're syndicate another cop.
Can you have those pages
released to me? Yeah, well, if
you're heading the
investigation then I guess
they're yours.
And the bottom line is I don't
have a tool.
Go home and get some rest. I'll
call you if anything comes up.
Yeah, you do that. Uh by the
way, why didn't Cameron come
with you?
She said it would be like
Это все слайдеры.
Doing here at this hour?
Actually, I was looking for
you. I guess they gave you
quite a grown upstairs, huh?
Got five hours in the hot seat.
That's a sad thing to see.
What do you mean? I mean you're
coming with me. Now move.
That's quite an impressive
piece of machinery. I could say
the same. Can I help you?
Officer Westlake. Rick Daley,
I'm the mechanic for this bird.
And I'm the new flight trainee.
You are? Is there a problem? I
think you better talk to
Lieutenant Gage. He's over
there. Thanks. To be honest,
sir, I don't feel this is the
appropriate time to settle me
with the inexperienced wet
behind the ears rookie. Well,
she's a rookie as far as by
assignments go. I understand.
Yes.
Got a towel, lieutenant? Excuse
me? I think I need to dry off
behind my ears. You're the
flight trainee. The rookie
you've been saddled with. Look,
I'm I'm sorry if I Got caught?
Cameron Westlake. Mitchell
Gage, look about this training
program. You have no idea how I
had to wrangle to get this
assignment. Covering the city
from the air is something I've
always dreamed of doing. I was
just telling the captain that
this might not be the best time
for me. Why not? For some
reasons. Been thinking about
taking a leave of absence.
Would that take effect today?
You really want to go up, don't
you? That's why I'm here,
lieutenant. Okay. Come on.
Look at that. Positive 4G
capability. It's amazing. You
imagine redlining a 260
straight up in a helicopter?
Virtually maybe but I'll give
the real thing a pass. Let me
check this out. Look at this
infrared windshield, satellite
technology, and the
surveillance systems. You know,
if you're thinking about a
Christmas present. Envy. Oh,
come on. I'll put up our car
against this rotor filler
anytime.
You got 'em. All four of 'em.
Hey, you know, I was thinking
about getting a beeper. Oh,
man. What is that blood? They
were on the murdered cops. It's
all they got called to the
train yard. You think you can
dig anything out of it? Well,
encoded in every message is the
phone number it's called from.
It doesn't appear on the pages
display but it is stored in
memory. I can break the code.
It'll just take some time. No,
count on you. You get the
caller's number. We'll know
about those guys to their
death. The main rotor can take
a direct hit from a 50 caliber
shell still bring the safety
home. I visual sight is built
directly into the windshield.
We got high-resolution digital
cameras that can read the date
on the dime at 3000 feet. The
condor has a communication
system that can tap into
anything from a kid on
Milwaukee talking to strategic
air command. You got the world
at your fingertips up here. No,
that's the whole idea. You
really love this, don't you?
It's all I ever wanted to do.
They say you're the best pilot
in the force. And have the
confidence. So what happened
yesterday? What do you mean?
Weren't you involved in
pursuing a getaway car after
those four cops were killed?
There was a federal agent on
the ground chasing the
suspect's vehicle. He called
for aerial support then radio
fact that he had the situation
under control. He must have
lost him after I left the
scene. There's a rumor floating
around the department that it
was another cop that sold those
guys out. If it's true, they
should hang the best. So, do
you believe it's true? I had to
think so but you know how it
is. There'll be copies of hands
a little dirty sometimes.
How'd you like it? You know, I
could get used to this
assignment. You heading back to
Central? Yeah, I got a report
in. Do me a favor. File that
report on that robbery suspect
we ran down. No problem. I'm
the trainee. And be back here
at four for another patrol. Yes
sir. Hey Mitch. Yeah. Is that
your daughter? Yeah. She lives
with her mom in Phoenix. You
see her much? Couple of times a
year. She's beautiful. Thanks.
You know what? It just doesn't
make any sense. Why would the
syndicate draw heat on itself
with a hit like this? Poor dead
cops, it's pretty high profile.
The only thing I can figure is
there's something big going
down and the deep cover guys
were in the way. Must be one
hell of a job to take that kind
of a risk. Hey, I got it.
That's the phone number the
last page was called from. Now,
we'll just cross speed that
into the metric directory.
And the page came from a pay
form. Could have been anyone.
Well, we have three more to
try.
You're going to kill him, Rad.
One more time.
I don't know what you're
talking about. You thought you
were going to take a bullet
What's going to happen to you
here? You can't do this. Give
up the location, Harold. And
you're going to take a flying
leap.
On top. Metro
That's the front company? Yes.
Red, what are you doing?
If we can maximize the timing
and fuel curve, we can boost
the performance by 10percent.
You know, it's not that I don't
appreciate the input, Cole but
do I intrude in your world
behind the wheel? Sometimes.
Yeah, well, dealing with
automobile engines is a
lifelong zen-like journey for
me. It all began so to speak in
my Uncle Vinnie's garage and
disconnected it. That's the
last page you're Cole. Same
number. Did you get the
location on the pay for? Sixth
and main, middle of downtown.
Hey hey, Westlake. Having never
had the pleasure, I have to say
that is the definitive fashion
statement for you. Not now,
Frankie. What's wrong? They
killed Harold Benning. Oh no.
I'm really sorry Kim. Now, he
gave me this assignment. If it
wasn't for him, I'd still be
writing traffic tickets. Look
what it's like about that
fashion statement remark. How
did he die? Some hikers found
him in the middle of nowhere.
Every bone in his body was
broken. Man, they beat him that
badly. It's more like you fell
from a high distance.
You would gain
you. Alright, thanks anyway.
Okay.
You
alley.
You got a night with us? Maybe
better than that. Alright, we
know the pages came in around
three. So we'll fast forward.
There's noone there. There.
Freeze it. Push in.
And add a little resolution I
know that guy. Victor Rand, a
detective of Metropolitan. Just
saw his name somewhere. Do you
have Gator's personnel file? Mm
hmm. But yeah.
There it is. Gage's letter of
recommendation to be placed in
the Condor Division. Signed by
detective Victor Rand. What's
your take on Gage? He's got a
nice guy written all over him
but I guarantee you, he's in
this up to his ears. That
report in the pursuit, it's a
work of fiction. Frankie, get
down to metropolitan tracer on
Rand Carr. Okay, on my way.
This has to be about something
more than just killing cops. My
guts is the syndicates want
them exposed and out of their
way because there's something
big going down. The cops
want to stop them. We stay on
Ram, we might be able to finish
the job that these deep govern
guys gave their lives for.
Okay, detective Rand. Let's put
out these babies as yours, huh?
Okay.
I will go
Drop it.
Look guys, I don't know what's
going on here but I was just
passing through town. It must
have taken a wrong turn. Oh,
you don't know how true that
is.
I knew Benny by reputation
only. I always heard he was one
of the good guys. He was like
family to me. We used to call
him uncle when I was a little
girl. I didn't realize you were
so close. I'm sorry. Whoever's
responsible for killing him,
they're the ones that are
going to be sorry.
Loter goes crazy. Look, I don't
know what you guys got going
here and to tell you the truth,
I don't want to know. Who the
hell are you? My name is Eddie
Morris. I was looking for a gas
station. Like I said, I took a
wrong turn. I thought somebody
in here could give me
directions. It's in the habit
of yours to carry a gun, Eddie.
I'm on the road a lot. Streets
are pretty dangerous these
days. We see that.
I've got a permit. Oh, I bet
you do. Ferretta 92 F? Federal
issue?
Let's find out who this guy is
and kill him.
Frankie, Cool's been away from
the car too long. So, get those
little fingers working. Let's
take a look around. Red my
mind.
I caught my girlfriend in a
sack with a cowboy. I hit the
road three days ago and I'm
just cruising to the coast.
I'll cut the fool. You either a
better you with internal
affairs. Now, which is. I don't
know what you're talking about.
Now, what about the car? I
stole the car. I was going to
ditch it around here. Lit. This
guy's very good. Much more of a
challenge than the last one. Of
course, we had all that
altitude to persuade him. The
old man, they gave up the
location like a babysitting a
formula. The pro can't handle
these guys, Frankie. You gotta
take remote control of the
defender and stop 'em.
Are you going to come clean?
Alright. Here's the deal. I was
going to buy some dope. I was
supposed to get my connection
here. At least I thought it was
here. I must have gotten the
wrong warehouse. Sorry, man.
You're way too healthy to be a
junkie and I'm afraid you've
heard too damn much.
What do I do now? Why you back?
To the right. Go, go, go.
You're 30degrees too.
Yes. Baby, now that's the way
you do it.
Nice work, guys. I'll get these
cops off here before you kill
me. Got it.
Damn.
Okay, this is it. These are all
the files from Benning's
office. Police reports,
appointment books, calendars,
it's all in here. I don't see
how anyone could live like
this. Benning kept meticulous
records but he was from the old
school. He didn't like
computers. He kept all his
files and notes on paper. It's
rather quaint, don't you think?
Now, he gave up some kind of
secret to Ram before he was
sent into a free fall. Find out
where that is, we'll know what
he's hitting today. You know,
we can use all the help we can
get. Where where's West Link?
Gage called. Told her he needed
to talk. You're not a trainee,
are you, Cameron? I put up that
week of front. You had me for a
while. Then I realized you were
asking too many the wrong kind
of questions. If you're ready
to talk, I'm ready to listen.
Maybe I'm not. Tell me the
truth and we'll try and get you
some leniency. What? Life
instead of the gas chamber?
It's not my call.
Ren is one of those guys I've
known for years. Always has
something going on the side.
Yeah, a few times he tried to
pull me in but I guess I didn't
need the money like I did this
time. Honestly, when I helped
him get away, I didn't know he
killed those cops. By that
time, you ran way over your
head. Man, all I wanted to do
is find a way out but it was
too late. As soon as I heard
they were dead, I knew I thrown
everything away. My honor, my
career, my freedom, and worst
of all, I took away from my
daughter, a father she could be
proud of.
What's going down today, Mitch?
I don't know. All I know is
something big. It has something
to do with metro cartages
shipping. What's that? I don't
know. It's That's what Ran got
out of Benny before he dumped
him out of the condor. I'll
call this into my partners. I
will take a ride downtown.
Set your guns on the floor. I'm
not carrying. Well, I know you
are.
Both of you in the chopper now.
Open that door. Get in the
backseat. Handcuff her to that
seat. It's all to keep anyone
from trying to shoot us down.
Now, let's get this thing up in
the air. Go screw yourself. Can
you pull the scrap on me now?
I'm not only punch holes in you
right here, I'll make sure your
daughter takes a kill as well.
Now, get in.
Start this thing off. I don't
get it, Ren. What could be
worth all this?
Come on, move.
Look at this. Every Thursday at
11 o'clock, Benning paid a
visit to a place called Metro
Cardigen Shipping. Let me see
that. You think he was meeting
with someone? No, he was taking
inventory. No, I mean, look at
these sheets. Metro cartridge
and shipping letter head. Each
one dated a week apart every
Thursday. Whoa, look at this.
160 pounds in heroin, 1600
carats of loose-cut diamonds, a
Lamborghini, $859, 000 in cash.
So, it looks like confiscated
goods. You have a confiscated
by whom? The police. The
shipping company is a front for
a forfeiture warehouse. Every
big city has one. It's where
the cops start illegal and
recovered goods taken during
arrests. The key is high
secured, low profile. And since
Benning oversaw the
infiltration of the syndicate,
he had to keep track of what
was in there. Rand's working
with the mob guys to get it all
back. But first he had to
murder the deep cover cops so
the whole plan would have gone
crashing down. I'm heading down
to LA. Call Major Paul. Tell
him I'm going to need backup.
Just head west till we hit
Baxley Road.
This is why we're up here,
Mitch. See, it's the Condor's
Airport Transport is what I
really need. Just insert this
little disc into the onboard
computer. We jam all telephone
radio signals for five-mile
radius. Chief Walsh, please.
Please hold. Hello. Hello. Mine
went dead.
Three times around. Has to be
all clear.
Coming Charlie three, this is
Delta one. Charlie three, come
in.
They shut down all radio and
phone communications within a
five square mile radius
including us. Then how are we
talking? Because I switched
this over to our microwave calm
system. It's not subject to
radio frequency interruption.
I got it. I got it. What's up?
Like blood work.
30 minutes, you clean the place
shop and you find equipment
airfield. I'm Don't worry Gage.
I'm an honorable You should
look at your gut.
There's too many of them. The
minute they saw me get
scattered. I've got it. What if
we dressed you up to look like
one of them? What are you
talking about? Redirecting the
mirrors on the hologram
projector so that instead of
throwing an image of a car on
the street, we use it to
disguise the defender. Can you
project the sedan? How about a
green LHS? Coming right up.
Of course, these outside fell.
Say you've really got this
thing tricked out. There's a
trick you'll really like.
Drop your weapons and lock
yourselves in the cage now.
The hell is going on down here?
No, not again. Give it up,
Franco. Right. We're landing
Vic. I tell you we are. Let's
go. Weapon empty. Land and
engage. I'll kill the both of
you in the island place before
I give myself up. Your
Is that your handiwork with the
flare
backups on their way. You want
me to take them in?
Okay, now I'm ready.
I'm really sorry about
everything Wesley. Yeah, me
too.
something's not for sure. Now
that I see we're all here, I'm
certain on it. Yeah, I'm sure
Benny just called us here for
some kind of briefing though.
Yeah, we're driving over here.
I put in a 911 to our backup.
You called in a code setting.
It's a last result, Cole. I'm
telling you something's not
right.
Good day, gentlemen. Brian,
where's Benning? Well, the
captain asked me to meet you at
this place.
He said he received a
suspicious page from you
calling him to an emergency

problem.
You knew the job was dangerous
when you took it, boys. We're
going in.
Captain betting we have a field

you.
This is Condor one over. This
is
Just give me a lock on the town
on Condor One. That still
looking.
Condor 1, do you have a visual
on the count? Uh, turn right at
12 street. Condor 1, I need a
precise location. Sorry,
It had to have been a syndicate
hit. The mob must have pulled
their covers. Yeah, but four
cops infiltrated into four
different families. I mean, how
could they all be exposed at
the same time? It had to be set
up by someone on the inside.
Another cop. We're going to
find out. What do you say we

get out of here. See you in the
morning, Mix. Okay.
Careful, Gage. That city
property. You murdering son of
a **** Nice work today. Keeping
that red car off my tail. Nice.
Are you shooting me? Hey,
Mitch. No one gets hurt. I was
just doing my job. Those boys
were in the way. Of what? The
payday of a lifetime? You take
the top four syndicates in this
city and you pull the
resources, you can come up with
a mighty attractive salary.
Now, they asked me to flush out
some moles. I get a hold of
Benning's access codes which
gets me in any files I want and
I do it. Four cops, man. You
killed four cops and made me an
accessory. Now, I didn't buy in
for this, not murder. You
bought in because your ex-wife
spent every penny you made and
even more that you didn't.
You're not too good with women,
are you, Gage? Well, guess
what? You're not broke anymore.
Now, you can even make your
next child support payment. No,
no, you know what? Keep your
money. I don't want it. Well,
you think you can pull out?
Simple as that. You said it
yourself. You are an accessory.
Those are good cops. We were
all good cops once. Now, I told
you they were in the way. So,
you just kill whoever gets in
your way, is that it? It means
setting myself up. Never having
to worry about anything for the
rest of my life. You bet your
**** I do. Now, I promised you
a big payday too, didn't I?
Well, not that this
infiltration problem is behind
us, we're clear to carry on
with our plan and it's going to
put figures in your pocket and
it's guaranteed. No more. No
more. I'm out baby. You know
the syndicate boys? They had no
problem scrolling in the chips
to take care of those cops.
So if you bail on me now,
you'll wind up like them.
You think about gauging? Six
figures and all you gotta do is
be in the sky when we need you.
Captain Benny.
What are you doing here? We
need to talk.
Can't just wait till morning.
I've been answering
is on the commission. I'm just
trying to get to the truth
here, captain. We all are. We
know the deep cover men all
received coded messages on
their pages. Which brought them
to building forty-three. The
only people who had access to
the pager numbers or the codes
were me and the four cops.
Officially noone else has
higher security clearance. Is
there a chance someone could
have dug out the information? I
don't know any security system
that's 100 percent, do you? So
it could have been anyone.
We're syndicate another cop.
Can you have those pages
released to me? Yeah, well, if
you're heading the
investigation then I guess
they're yours.
And the bottom line is I don't
have a tool.
Go home and get some rest. I'll
call you if anything comes up.
Yeah, you do that. Uh by the
way, why didn't Cameron come
with you?
She said it would be like
Это все слайдеры.
Doing here at this hour?
Actually, I was looking for
you. I guess they gave you
quite a grown upstairs, huh?
Got five hours in the hot seat.
That's a sad thing to see.
What do you mean? I mean you're
coming with me. Now move.
That's quite an impressive
piece of machinery. I could say
the same. Can I help you?
Officer Westlake. Rick Daley,
I'm the mechanic for this bird.
And I'm the new flight trainee.
You are? Is there a problem? I
think you better talk to
Lieutenant Gage. He's over
there. Thanks. To be honest,
sir, I don't feel this is the
appropriate time to settle me
with the inexperienced wet
behind the ears rookie. Well,
she's a rookie as far as by
assignments go. I understand.
Yes.
Got a towel, lieutenant? Excuse
me? I think I need to dry off
behind my ears. You're the
flight trainee. The rookie
you've been saddled with. Look,
I'm I'm sorry if I Got caught?
Cameron Westlake. Mitchell
Gage, look about this training
program. You have no idea how I
had to wrangle to get this
assignment. Covering the city
from the air is something I've
always dreamed of doing. I was
just telling the captain that
this might not be the best time
for me. Why not? For some
reasons. Been thinking about
taking a leave of absence.
Would that take effect today?
You really want to go up, don't
you? That's why I'm here,
lieutenant. Okay. Come on.
Look at that. Positive 4G
capability. It's amazing. You
imagine redlining a 260
straight up in a helicopter?
Virtually maybe but I'll give
the real thing a pass. Let me
check this out. Look at this
infrared windshield, satellite
technology, and the
surveillance systems. You know,
if you're thinking about a
Christmas present. Envy. Oh,
come on. I'll put up our car
against this rotor filler
anytime.
You got 'em. All four of 'em.
Hey, you know, I was thinking
about getting a beeper. Oh,
man. What is that blood? They
were on the murdered cops. It's
all they got called to the
train yard. You think you can
dig anything out of it? Well,
encoded in every message is the
phone number it's called from.
It doesn't appear on the pages
display but it is stored in
memory. I can break the code.
It'll just take some time. No,
count on you. You get the
caller's number. We'll know
about those guys to their
death. The main rotor can take
a direct hit from a 50 caliber
shell still bring the safety
home. I visual sight is built
directly into the windshield.
We got high-resolution digital
cameras that can read the date
on the dime at 3000 feet. The
condor has a communication
system that can tap into
anything from a kid on
Milwaukee talking to strategic
air command. You got the world
at your fingertips up here. No,
that's the whole idea. You
really love this, don't you?
It's all I ever wanted to do.
They say you're the best pilot
in the force. And have the
confidence. So what happened
yesterday? What do you mean?
Weren't you involved in
pursuing a getaway car after
those four cops were killed?
There was a federal agent on
the ground chasing the
suspect's vehicle. He called
for aerial support then radio
fact that he had the situation
under control. He must have
lost him after I left the
scene. There's a rumor floating
around the department that it
was another cop that sold those
guys out. If it's true, they
should hang the best. So, do
you believe it's true? I had to
think so but you know how it
is. There'll be copies of hands
a little dirty sometimes.
How'd you like it? You know, I
could get used to this
assignment. You heading back to
Central? Yeah, I got a report
in. Do me a favor. File that
report on that robbery suspect
we ran down. No problem. I'm
the trainee. And be back here
at four for another patrol. Yes
sir. Hey Mitch. Yeah. Is that
your daughter? Yeah. She lives
with her mom in Phoenix. You
see her much? Couple of times a
year. She's beautiful. Thanks.
You know what? It just doesn't
make any sense. Why would the
syndicate draw heat on itself
with a hit like this? Poor dead
cops, it's pretty high profile.
The only thing I can figure is
there's something big going
down and the deep cover guys
were in the way. Must be one
hell of a job to take that kind
of a risk. Hey, I got it.
That's the phone number the
last page was called from. Now,
we'll just cross speed that
into the metric directory.
And the page came from a pay
form. Could have been anyone.
Well, we have three more to
try.
You're going to kill him, Rad.
One more time.
I don't know what you're
talking about. You thought you
were going to take a bullet
What's going to happen to you
here? You can't do this. Give
up the location, Harold. And
you're going to take a flying
leap.
On top. Metro
That's the front company? Yes.
Red, what are you doing?
If we can maximize the timing
and fuel curve, we can boost
the performance by 10percent.
You know, it's not that I don't
appreciate the input, Cole but
do I intrude in your world
behind the wheel? Sometimes.
Yeah, well, dealing with
automobile engines is a
lifelong zen-like journey for
me. It all began so to speak in
my Uncle Vinnie's garage and
disconnected it. That's the
last page you're Cole. Same
number. Did you get the
location on the pay for? Sixth
and main, middle of downtown.
Hey hey, Westlake. Having never
had the pleasure, I have to say
that is the definitive fashion
statement for you. Not now,
Frankie. What's wrong? They
killed Harold Benning. Oh no.
I'm really sorry Kim. Now, he
gave me this assignment. If it
wasn't for him, I'd still be
writing traffic tickets. Look
what it's like about that
fashion statement remark. How
did he die? Some hikers found
him in the middle of nowhere.
Every bone in his body was
broken. Man, they beat him that
badly. It's more like you fell
from a high distance.
You would gain
you. Alright, thanks anyway.
Okay.
You
alley.
You got a night with us? Maybe
better than that. Alright, we
know the pages came in around
three. So we'll fast forward.
There's noone there. There.
Freeze it. Push in.
And add a little resolution I
know that guy. Victor Rand, a
detective of Metropolitan. Just
saw his name somewhere. Do you
have Gator's personnel file? Mm
hmm. But yeah.
There it is. Gage's letter of
recommendation to be placed in
the Condor Division. Signed by
detective Victor Rand. What's
your take on Gage? He's got a
nice guy written all over him
but I guarantee you, he's in
this up to his ears. That
report in the pursuit, it's a
work of fiction. Frankie, get
down to metropolitan tracer on
Rand Carr. Okay, on my way.
This has to be about something
more than just killing cops. My
guts is the syndicates want
them exposed and out of their
way because there's something
big going down. The cops
want to stop them. We stay on
Ram, we might be able to finish
the job that these deep govern
guys gave their lives for.
Okay, detective Rand. Let's put
out these babies as yours, huh?
Okay.
I will go
Drop it.
Look guys, I don't know what's
going on here but I was just
passing through town. It must
have taken a wrong turn. Oh,
you don't know how true that
is.
I knew Benny by reputation
only. I always heard he was one
of the good guys. He was like
family to me. We used to call
him uncle when I was a little
girl. I didn't realize you were
so close. I'm sorry. Whoever's
responsible for killing him,
they're the ones that are
going to be sorry.
Loter goes crazy. Look, I don't
know what you guys got going
here and to tell you the truth,
I don't want to know. Who the
hell are you? My name is Eddie
Morris. I was looking for a gas
station. Like I said, I took a
wrong turn. I thought somebody
in here could give me
directions. It's in the habit
of yours to carry a gun, Eddie.
I'm on the road a lot. Streets
are pretty dangerous these
days. We see that.
I've got a permit. Oh, I bet
you do. Ferretta 92 F? Federal
issue?
Let's find out who this guy is
and kill him.
Frankie, Cool's been away from
the car too long. So, get those
little fingers working. Let's
take a look around. Red my
mind.
I caught my girlfriend in a
sack with a cowboy. I hit the
road three days ago and I'm
just cruising to the coast.
I'll cut the fool. You either a
better you with internal
affairs. Now, which is. I don't
know what you're talking about.
Now, what about the car? I
stole the car. I was going to
ditch it around here. Lit. This
guy's very good. Much more of a
challenge than the last one. Of
course, we had all that
altitude to persuade him. The
old man, they gave up the
location like a babysitting a
formula. The pro can't handle
these guys, Frankie. You gotta
take remote control of the
defender and stop 'em.
Are you going to come clean?
Alright. Here's the deal. I was
going to buy some dope. I was
supposed to get my connection
here. At least I thought it was
here. I must have gotten the
wrong warehouse. Sorry, man.
You're way too healthy to be a
junkie and I'm afraid you've
heard too damn much.
What do I do now? Why you back?
To the right. Go, go, go.
You're 30degrees too.
Yes. Baby, now that's the way
you do it.
Nice work, guys. I'll get these
cops off here before you kill
me. Got it.
Damn.
Okay, this is it. These are all
the files from Benning's
office. Police reports,
appointment books, calendars,
it's all in here. I don't see
how anyone could live like
this. Benning kept meticulous
records but he was from the old
school. He didn't like
computers. He kept all his
files and notes on paper. It's
rather quaint, don't you think?
Now, he gave up some kind of
secret to Ram before he was
sent into a free fall. Find out
where that is, we'll know what
he's hitting today. You know,
we can use all the help we can
get. Where where's West Link?
Gage called. Told her he needed
to talk. You're not a trainee,
are you, Cameron? I put up that
week of front. You had me for a
while. Then I realized you were
asking too many the wrong kind
of questions. If you're ready
to talk, I'm ready to listen.
Maybe I'm not. Tell me the
truth and we'll try and get you
some leniency. What? Life
instead of the gas chamber?
It's not my call.
Ren is one of those guys I've
known for years. Always has
something going on the side.
Yeah, a few times he tried to
pull me in but I guess I didn't
need the money like I did this
time. Honestly, when I helped
him get away, I didn't know he
killed those cops. By that
time, you ran way over your
head. Man, all I wanted to do
is find a way out but it was
too late. As soon as I heard
they were dead, I knew I thrown
everything away. My honor, my
career, my freedom, and worst
of all, I took away from my
daughter, a father she could be
proud of.
What's going down today, Mitch?
I don't know. All I know is
something big. It has something
to do with metro cartages
shipping. What's that? I don't
know. It's That's what Ran got
out of Benny before he dumped
him out of the condor. I'll
call this into my partners. I
will take a ride downtown.
Set your guns on the floor. I'm
not carrying. Well, I know you
are.
Both of you in the chopper now.
Open that door. Get in the
backseat. Handcuff her to that
seat. It's all to keep anyone
from trying to shoot us down.
Now, let's get this thing up in
the air. Go screw yourself. Can
you pull the scrap on me now?
I'm not only punch holes in you
right here, I'll make sure your
daughter takes a kill as well.
Now, get in.
Start this thing off. I don't
get it, Ren. What could be
worth all this?
Come on, move.
Look at this. Every Thursday at
11 o'clock, Benning paid a
visit to a place called Metro
Cardigen Shipping. Let me see
that. You think he was meeting
with someone? No, he was taking
inventory. No, I mean, look at
these sheets. Metro cartridge
and shipping letter head. Each
one dated a week apart every
Thursday. Whoa, look at this.
160 pounds in heroin, 1600
carats of loose-cut diamonds, a
Lamborghini, $859, 000 in cash.
So, it looks like confiscated
goods. You have a confiscated
by whom? The police. The
shipping company is a front for
a forfeiture warehouse. Every
big city has one. It's where
the cops start illegal and
recovered goods taken during
arrests. The key is high
secured, low profile. And since
Benning oversaw the
infiltration of the syndicate,
he had to keep track of what
was in there. Rand's working
with the mob guys to get it all
back. But first he had to
murder the deep cover cops so
the whole plan would have gone
crashing down. I'm heading down
to LA. Call Major Paul. Tell
him I'm going to need backup.
Just head west till we hit
Baxley Road.
This is why we're up here,
Mitch. See, it's the Condor's
Airport Transport is what I
really need. Just insert this
little disc into the onboard
computer. We jam all telephone
radio signals for five-mile
radius. Chief Walsh, please.
Please hold. Hello. Hello. Mine
went dead.
Three times around. Has to be
all clear.
Coming Charlie three, this is
Delta one. Charlie three, come
in.
They shut down all radio and
phone communications within a
five square mile radius
including us. Then how are we
talking? Because I switched
this over to our microwave calm
system. It's not subject to
radio frequency interruption.
I got it. I got it. What's up?
Like blood work.
30 minutes, you clean the place
shop and you find equipment
airfield. I'm Don't worry Gage.
I'm an honorable You should
look at your gut.
There's too many of them. The
minute they saw me get
scattered. I've got it. What if
we dressed you up to look like
one of them? What are you
talking about? Redirecting the
mirrors on the hologram
projector so that instead of
throwing an image of a car on
the street, we use it to
disguise the defender. Can you
project the sedan? How about a
green LHS? Coming right up.
Of course, these outside fell.
Say you've really got this
thing tricked out. There's a
trick you'll really like.
Drop your weapons and lock
yourselves in the cage now.
The hell is going on down here?
No, not again. Give it up,
Franco. Right. We're landing
Vic. I tell you we are. Let's
go. Weapon empty. Land and
engage. I'll kill the both of
you in the island place before
I give myself up. Your
Is that your handiwork with the
flare
backups on their way. You want
me to take them in?
Okay, now I'm ready.
I'm really sorry about
everything Wesley. Yeah, me
too.
