Pacific Blue (1996–2000): Season 2, Episode 12 - Wheels of Fire - full transcript

A paraplegic shop owner agrees to testify against a Boardwalk extortion ring, but T.C.'s disdainful attitude toward him almost blows the Bike Patrol's investigation. Chris suspects a group of teenage girls of assaulting men on the beach, and Victor's in an awkward position when Jessie Palermo asks him about birth control.

Victor

[Music]

[Music]

well his officer Road
Rash and officer

roadkill brings you
to my little corner

like you do not know
a new bond for the

firehouse maybe we
are having a sale on

Roach clips mr. Charlie
the problem is

we received another
complaint about you

stealing rolling
papers to minors

and it is a load of
BS did you get this

so-called report from it was an

anonymous phone call like all the others

some misguided goody-good out to blame

me because they found a

roach in their kids lunchbox

there wouldn't be
a roach if you didn't

sell them the papers
hey I do not sell

the kids in fact I
make it a point to

cart anybody who
looks under 30 bottom

line mr. Charlie
if the complaints

do not stop you will
get a call from the

licensing board you two ever here at due

process it is an a little-known document

called the Constitution
I figure since

you are sworn to
defend it maybe I ought

to learn what it says

[Music]

[Music]

move back people we are sparring

Kuzco how'd I have you

didn't do this to each other

who did it the new shins dude

and his long arms
big bloodshot eyes

okay clear the way everybody

hey right these
guys are hassling

you a while ago I
do not know a little

different now just
see what happened

to them maybe they
fell off the pier I got

pushed the barges

tripped over their big mouths

[Music]

I am only going to ask you one more time

what did you say
these officers did the

same thing I told
you the last time you

were here - go away and leave me alone

how can I be so
sure that it is all you

told him today the
truth I couldn't care

less now get the hell

out of my store nothing

to do we get what we came

for well I'd say
you got a problem

my friend I would say you to the prom

[Music]

doing Kara just yes so so he is

completely out of it
we made our point

the point is I wasn't
finished he was it

is us in them Kara
remember whose side

do you want
sometimes I am not sure

you are the reason
we learned how to

fight in the first place yeah I know but

I used to feel like
we were fighting for

something we are
for all the women who

get abused by guys
like this but if one

of these guys goes
to the police come on

what big macho
lab monkey is gonna

say he got the crap
kicked out of him by a

bunch of girly girls
yeah I guess you are

right yeah and do
not you ever forget it

[Music]

couple of big
Russians tried to work

me over and bust it
up half my stuff okay

Abin did harder
than that buy a good

idea I think just
cuz I am gonna chair

can take care of myself did

you get a look
at him of course I

did what kind of
question is that

these guys have
been operating a broad

daylight and
everybody's afraid to

give us a description
break out your pen

sweet cheeks

I will finger those
bullies down to

an eyelash I have
got our witness I'm

flattered nose like

several side streets

that run east to west both times

you have lost and we lost them

up the back street
what if they never

left what if they are
ducking into a back

entrance or one
of these businesses

along here maybe
that explains how they

keep track of all the protection

contracts if they
were actually here

right here all in
time we got a serious

problem too you see
lieutenant look I'm

sorry I let my
personal feelings affect

my judgment endangering innocent

civilians you are
getting in tarlowe

killed Walker he
doesn't sue us blind

yeah well that
tarlowe is just looking

to stick it to the
cops you obviously

do not know his story he is

a cop hater what is to know

it is also a war hero received a Bronze

Star with a V but
this thing was service

cross oh is that
how he ended up in a

wheelchair that is
the irony of it man

through the war
just fine but Vietnam

changed him became a leader in the

anti-war movement he was given a speech

on the cops moon
with riot gear and

tear gas and the
smoke cleared its spinal

cord had been damaged

he never walked again

[Music]

the girls get to
walk what we caught

him dead to rights
well they claim the kids

assaulted them and
they were defending

themselves that is
bull yeah well we know

that but Nicky Danes
father's a hotshot

attorney and the
kid will not give an

opposing statement
besides he is got a

record what do you
think the DA's gonna

believe hey check this out

Kara Fisher found
a sexual assault

charge two years
ago claims she was

drugged and nearly
raped at a party

there was insufficient
evidence and the

guy got off on a
misdemeanor assault

your basic slap
on the wrist so you

figure a revenge
thing makes sense only

she is Elise aggressive
of the bunch but

to him for some
help with Todd and he

swore he wouldn't
say anything what a

liar Victor never
said a thing Jesse

what kind of help
were you asking him

for you do not want
to know yes I do

was this little
floorshow his suggestion

no and as a matter
of fact he said I

should wait and not
get pressured into

pretty good advice
