The Good Guys (2010): Season 1, Episode 10 - Vacation - full transcript
After being suspended for some of their usual off the cuff not really by the book police work, Dan sets up a sting with some money he "borrowed" from the Dallas Police Narcotics Division. Unbeknowst to Jack and Dan this money is later used to finance a prison break, which Jack and Dan must stop before the prisoners escape and the Chief finds out.
Hey!
[ gunshots ]
[ Bystanders screaming ]
Freeze, punk!
The next one of these goes
in your worthless perp ass!
I'll tell you,
if there's anything I hate
more than a thief
it's running.
[ Screams ]
Spicy!
Spicy in my eyes!
Where are ya?
I can't see!
Aah!
Aah!
I can't see!
I can't see!
[ Tires screech ]
Aah! [ grunts ]
Aah!
Dallas police department!
I am commando-ing
this vehicle!
Please exit the vehicle!
Get out! Thank you.
All right.
What is... is this automatic
or stick?
It's... it's an automatic!
Are you okay to drive?
It's an automatic?
Yeah. What are you...
Uh...
[ Tires screech ]
[ Gunshot ]
[ Cylinder clicking ]
Okay, so,
just so I'm clear,
you commandeered
a civilian vehicle,
then drove down the street
completely blind
in pursuit of a suspect.
And I caught him.
I caught him.
And he was caught.
You're welcome.
I'm over here.
You're welcome.
Okay, so in your world,
I'm happy that you veered
up onto a sidewalk,
destroyed
a dozen parking meters,
and then collided
with an ice cream truck?
Distracting the suspect
so that he lost control
of his moped thingy,
whereupon my partner
arrested him.
Dan, you caused thousands
of dollars worth of damage,
and, not to mention,
endangered the lives
of numerous
innocent pedestrians.
Please! I was in complete
control the entire time.
Okay then.
You're suspended.
What?!
Both of you.
What?!
On my desk, guns and badges.
Now. Effective immediately.
Oh. Lieutenant, with
all due respect,
why am I being suspended?
I didn't do anything!
Exactly.
You had an opportunity
to strangle him
before he got in the car,
and you didn't.
So, therefore, guns and badges
on my desk, gentlemen.
This is bullcrap.
[ Badge rattles ]
[ Gun thuds ]
I don't need my eyes
to bust a punk.
The only sense I need
is my cop sense.
Oh!
Well, all in all,
I got to call that a win.
A "win"?
Dan, we got suspended
for a week.
That is a loss.
That is a blowout loss.
Come on, you're acting like you've
never been suspended before.
I have never
been suspended before.
Well, look, every cop goes
on "vacation" once in a while.
It's the department's
way of saying
you've been working too hard,
chill out,
recharge your batteries.
Dan, this is not a vacation!
This is a serious black spot
on our careers.
Sounds like you need a beer.
How about
we pick up a six-pack
and decompress
in my thinking room?
Your "thinking room"?
Yeah, no.
That sounds like getting drunk
at the carousel.
No, thank you.
Well, we got to make a game plan
for our vacation.
You know what?
We don't have to
do anything.
'Cause if there is one
bright spot in all of this,
it's that whatever idiotic, stupid,
boneheaded thing you do tomorrow,
it won't be my problem.
That's no way
to talk to your partner.
We're not partners, Dan.
Not this week.
I'm on vacation.
Hey, I...
I'm not the enemy here!
We may be on vacation,
but the bad guys aren't!
[ Russian accent ] There is
much work to do, comrade. Come.
We need to do this deal
as soon as possible.
Today.
We'll see about that.
First thing I need to know
is who I'm dealing with.
We are known in certain circles
as "the Georgians."
You don't sound like
you're from Georgia.
I am from Democratic Republic
of Georgia.
My associate, buck,
is from Atlanta.
[ Southern accent ] Pleasure
to make your acquaintance.
Georgia, Georgia.
[ laughs ]
Yes, is...
Is very funny.
Everyone makes joke.
We hooked up doing
smugglin' runs out of the Gulf.
There was this kingpin
down in Mexico
was asking
for "the Georgian."
I-I thought he was
talkin' about me,
and Nikolai thought
he was talkin' 'bout him.
We both show up, make team.
Rest is history.
Anyway, we got raided
by the feds last June,
and Nik's cousin Sasha
got pinched,
and we've been a man down
ever since.
Our contact,
he said you are capable
of breaking a man
out of prison.
Is this true?
I can bust your buddy out.
I can bust anybody out.
For a price.
Then give us price.
That depends on who
you want sprung, don't it?
Who is it
we're talkin' about here?
We want our Sasha back.
Ooh, baby.
Says here this fella killed an
FBI Agent with his bare hands?
Bit a fella's ear off?
[ Chuckles ]
What do y'all want
with a psycho like this?
Sasha is not psycho.
He is hero.
He is like a ray of light
in this dark world.
[ Gun cocks ]
[ Cylinder clicking ]
[ Screams ]
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Aah!
Aah!
Sasha, hurry!
Go!
You are too good
for this world, Sasha!
Every night I see his face
looking back at me.
His big, noble hands
crushing the life
out of the FBI Agent.
Now the joy of smuggling
is gone.
My heart is breaking.
If we don't spring Sasha soon,
we might as well just pack it
in and head on back to Georgia.
Or possibly Georgia.
Yeah, I get your point.
Well, sir, you want a fella like
your buddy out of the joint,
it's gonna cost you
some real money.
[ Scoffs ]
You gotta be kidding me...
We ain't got this.
Then I guess you could have figured out
the way you live with a broken heart.
- Hey!
- Hey!
- Said I'd find you here.
- Yeah, I guess I...
Needed to blow off a little steam.
Nice ??
Thank you.
How are you?
My day's going pretty crappy.
So I was actually coming by
to see if you wanted too...
Do some fun, later.
Get a drink or something.
I mean as friends.
We can do that still, right?
As friends?
Yeah, have fun?
Yeah, yeah.
I'm tons of fun.
Well, ah, I'm two-thirds fun,
one-third danger.
[ Laughing ] That right?
[ laughs ]
You okay?
Just more Kyle stuff.
You know.
The point is
that we had a fight,
and we are not speaking
at the moment.
Do you mind?
No. Be my guest.
It looks like we could both
use a little fun.
Julius grant!
Dallas police department!
We got the place surrounded!
I am on vacation!
[ gun cocks ]
[ Gunshot ] I got a cooler
full of beers in the car.
Looking for a little quality
snitch/detective time.
Julius: Dan.
Son of a...
Julius.
What the hell happened to you?
What the hell
you think happened?
It looks like you got punched
in the face really hard.
[ Cylinder clicking ]
[ Gunshot ]
[ Grunts ]
Oh, no, no, no.
Man, you said I had two weeks.
That's right. So?
It's been 13 days.
I don't think that's right.
I borrowed the money on the 5th.
Today's the 18th.
Wait, no, the 5th was a Monday.
No, I borrowed the money
on a Tuesday, okay?
Today's Monday, which means
that it's been 13 days.
You're a day early.
Well, consider this
a courtesy reminder visit.
Okay. Just... you know,
next time,
you just give me a call, okay?
50 grand.
In cash.
If I don't see it
by tomorrow...
[ Whistles ] Snip.
[ Inhales sharply
through teeth ]
Ouch.
He'd really do that?
Yeah, man.
He's threatened to take my, uh,
my baby-making accessories,
man.
Dude's name is kasson, man.
And he just... he puts
the shark in loan shark.
How did you end up borrowing
50 grand, anyway? Inventory.
Look, these shelves... they don't
fill themselves, man, okay?
Plus, I'm trying
to go straight, you know,
streamline my business model.
Stop stealing
all the stuff you sell?
Yes, okay?
But you know what?
It turns out that the stealing
kept my overhead down.
You know, I got an Uncle
with one "testee,"
and he's doing great.
You know, it's all systems go
down below.
I'm just thinking that maybe
you can talk this guy down
to a huevo solo.
You talking about one?
A single.
No, no.
You don't need two!
It's like kidneys.
No, it's not.
I understand the emotional attachment.
It's a matched pair.
They don't have to be.
But they are.
They got fake ones.
It's a matched pair, Dan.
Okay?
Look, you want to help me,
help me, man.
I need a little
cop action on this, Dan.
See, the problem is,
this vacation I'm on
is the kind where
you don't really carry a badge.
You got suspended?
It's more like
a-a disciplinary sabbatical.
Are you serious?
I saved your life, Dan.
I saved your partner's life.
I took a bullet for you.
And the one time
I really need you,
you're suspended.
I may be able to help you
get that 50 grand.
Where you gonna get
50 grand, Dan?
Hey, stark, that parking
is for police officers only.
People think you're stupid.
I'm not about
to let a loan shark
run my only snitch out of town.
Ohh! Oh!
Put it back.
What are you, crazy?
Did you steal this money?
No, I didn't steal it.
I borrowed it.
You pay off the shark,
I'll bust him.
I'll get it back
before anybody knows it's gone.
Hey, not to criticize
your technique,
but I-I just don't think this is
how a cop should handle this.
Well, good thing this week
I'm not a cop.
[ Tires screech ]
Okay. So just... you
know... I don't know...
Tell me
how does this work, again?
Just hand the dude the bag.
Okay, then what do you do?
I'll be in the back in case
he figures out he's being set up
and starts cutting people.
Whoa. "People"? I-I'm the only
one in here, Dan.
Don't get worked up!
It's gonna be fine.
Okay, wait, wait, wait.
So, w-we do the deal.
You run in and you bust him,
he's gonna know
that we were working together.
No, I'm not gonna
bust him right away.
I'm gonna tail him for a while
and bust him later.
He's never gonna
connect me and you.
Okay, but wait a sec.
I got another question for you.
How you gonna bust him? You're
not exactly a cop right now.
Fine, I am going to
retrieve the money,
and then I am going
to detain him
at an undisclosed location
until I get my badge back.
That sounds like you're just gonna
rob him and then kidnap him
and then, like, keep him
in a dungeon for like a week.
You know what?
It's... it's very technical.
You'd never understand.
There he is.
He's coming. Okay. All right.
You're good, man.
Shoot!
Kasson. Hey,
how you doing, man?
It's good to see you.
So, do you have my money today?
Or does the shark...
Get to have a bite?
Okay, all right.
I got your money.
No biting.
Here. It's all here
in the bag o'money.
This is great!
[ laughs ]
You know, I was hoping
I wouldn't have to...
Hey, okay. Right.
...Snip your grapes off.
Yeah, I was
rooting for that, too.
[ Sighs ]
I want to apologize
for the mix-up yesterday.
I know you have a lot of places
you can go for money,
and I appreciate
you coming to me.
Honestly, you and me...
I was hoping
that we could still be friends.
Like b. F.F.'S.
Mm-hmm. Sure.
You know what? Could you
put that away for me, please?
It's making me
a tiny bit uncomfortable.
This thing?
It is.
Sure, sure.
It is.
It's really just for show...
You know, the knife,
the crazy eyes.
To be honest with you,
I haven't had to use this
since Thanksgiving.
[ Both chuckle ]
I cut a guy
who wouldn't pass the gravy.
[ Laughing ] I'm kidding.
[ laughs nervously ]
Or am I?
I...
[ Laughs ]
I didn't... I didn't know.
I was in it, right?
Yeah.
I'm just gonna count this
and I'll get out of here.
[ Grunts ]
It ain't enough, Nik.
Teague wants 50 grand
to spring Sasha,
and we ain't even close to that.
This is bad.
Is very bad.
I don't know if we're gonna
be able to pull this off.
Don't think that way!
We do it for Sasha.
Think of the good times
we had together.
Remember how Sasha always is
wiping bloody hand on sleeve
after he kill a man?
And we have to say, "no!
Is evidence! Don't do that!"
And then we have to
burn his clothes.
And you remember when Sasha
beat that trucker to death,
put the guy's hat on his head?
Ah, yes!
And he dance around and say,
"hey, look at me!
[ Cellphone rings ]
Mm. [ chuckles ]
[ Ringing continues ]
Really persistent.
I'm sure it's just, uh, Dan
wanting a drinking partner.
The off button's
the red one right there.
[ Ringing continues ]
It's ruiz.
Um...I-I don't know...
I...
I-I'm sorry.
I... let me just...
[ Beep ]
Uh, this is Bailey.
Ruiz: Is he with you?
Put stark on the phone.
Now.
I have no idea where Dan is.
What's going on?
Oh, nothing big.
Just $50,000 is missing
from the narcotics division.
$50,000?
Uh, okay.
Well, this may sound like
a stupid question,
but are you sure it's Dan?
Well, whoever took the money
left an I.O.U.
Written on a bar napkin!
Yeah, that sounds like Dan.
Find your partner
and see what kind of trouble
he's gotten himself into.
Yeah, understood.
[ Beep ]
What was that about?
Dan's in trouble.
You've been apart for one day.
How much trouble could
he possibly have gotten into?
[ Gun cocks ]
[ Cylinder clicking ]
[ Gunshot ] Nothing went wrong.
The loan-shark guy
stopped at a bar.
Gave him some time
to drink a few rounds.
When he comes out,
I'm gonna bust him.
Julius:
Keep me out of this.
Okay, this dude has a screw
loose and a big-ass knife.
The two do not mix well.
Will you relax?
I've been following this dude
and the bag of money for hours.
I got the situation
completely under control.
Here he is now.
Son of a...
Where's the bag?
Uh, I got to call you back.
Uh...[ clears throat ]
Hey, hey, hey, hoss!
Slow down a sec.
Uh...
Sorry, do I know you?
Dallas p.D. Keep your hands
where I can see 'em.
I got to ask you
a few questions.
You're a cop?
Yes, sir, I am.
You got a badge?
Of course I got a badge.
Why wouldn't I have a badge?
Actually, I don't have a badge.
I'm undercover.
As what, the '70s?
[ laughs ]
Wow. I love it. That's funny.
I never heard that before.
Where's the bag?
I don't want this
to get violent.
Where did it go?
[ Gun cocks ]
[ Cylinder clicking ]
Relax.
I've been following this dude...
50 g's at 10% a week...
That's just predatory lending.
Is okay.
Once we have Sasha back,
he will get money.
I can't wait to see
the smile on Sasha's face.
You know the one I'm talking
about with the...
Yeah, yeah.
[ Laughs ]
[ Cylinder clicking ]
Look, let's get real...
The money is gone.
I am a loan shark.
I loaned it...
Shark style.
That is all I can say.
Ho, ho, ho.
One second.
One second. No! Yep.
Whoa!
I'm gonna have to take you in
for resisting arrest.
The hell you are.
Show me your... oh!
All right. Whoa!
Oh.
Oh, my lord!
[ Laughs ]
Whoa,
low-blood-sugar moment.
Yeah, you got to keep
your potassium up
when you're drinking!
He just had about, oh,
I don't know,
three margaritas too many,
but don't y'all worry.
You guys look great.
[ car door slams ]
Everything is completely under control.
[ engine turns over ]
Dan?
Dan, are you here?
Oh, my God!
This place has been ransacked!
No, it... it's always
like this.
Uh, Jack, when I was talking
about having fun earlier,
this isn't exactly
what I had in mind.
[ Sniffs ]
Doesn't smell like
he's been here recently.
[ Laughing ] Oh, wow.
Is this a shrine to himself?
Not really.
He calls it a "tribute."
To himself.
Look, Jack,
Dan is nowhere to be found.
There's no beer in the fridge.
Well, is it possible
he just ran out of beer?
Actually, no.
All right, he had to
have taken it somewhere.
Maybe to his thinking place.
I'm not even gonna ask.
You know what, Jack?
I've had enough fun
for one night.
I know this is your job
and you got to do it,
but, um, makes it hard
to have a good time, doesn't it?
Well, no.
Can you just take me home?
Dan!
It... it's me, Julius, man.
I got the, uh,
I got the burger.
Over here.
Yeah, I got the burgers that
you was asking for, man.
Oh!
What are you trying
to do to me, man?
I thought the whole idea of this was
you was gonna keep me out of it?
There have been some
unanticipated developments.
The department's money is gone.
Your friend has loaned it
to someone.
Turns out he also puts
the "loan" in loan shark.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
I know, I know, I know.
Give me the burgers here.
Okay, we can do this
the easy way or the hard way.
The easy way is you tell me
exactly what I want to know
and we open a couple of beers
and then we enjoy
a lasso burger.
Mmm. How's that smell?
The best hamburger...
Think about it...
In Texas.
That is door number one.
Door number two
is the hard way,
which I would really
rather not do
because I have not yet
loosened up or stretched.
So, my question to you is...
[ Grunts ]
What's it gonna be?
I ain't talking.
I ain't a snitch.
Hey!
Hey, now that's uncalled for.
Shoe fits.
Oh, damn it.
It's gonna be the hard way.
Oh, no.
You know what, Dan?
Can I...Punch him?
You sucker-punched me
yesterday.
Yeah, sure.
I mean, I'm not a lawyer,
but, you know, seems fair to me.
Yeah. Okay.
[ Laughs ]
Ohh!
That's for coming a day early!
Ahh!
What was that for?
That's for interest.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Looky here.
Nice police work, my brother.
Okay, don't call me that.
Why not?
It... it's... you know, it's weird.
Yeah, I get it.
Hey!
That is private property!
Yes, it is.
It looks to be a list of all the
people you have lent money to,
and I would imagine that
the person you lent my money to
is on this list.
So, what should we do?
I tell you what...
I do hate to be rude,
but I just need to make...
Make a couple phone calls.
Well, wait, wait, wait.
Don't, don't. Hang on one second.
Tch, tch, tch,
tch, tch, tch, tch! Hang on.
"Bad mike"?
This is Detective Dan stark...
All right, all right!
I loaned the money to two guys
called the Georgians.
Where do I find them?
There you are!
Why didn't you answer my calls?
Well, I seem to remember
someone telling me
that I was not their partner
while we were on vacation.
You didn't steal $50,000
fromom the department, did you?
Of course I di't steal $50,000.
I borrowed $50,000
from the department.
Are you out of your mind?!
I did it
for a very good reason...
To save our dear friend
and snitch Julius grant's
opportunity to bring a child
into this world.
But if your concerns
are financial...
And I understand that
right now...
You can rest assured
that I am on my way
to pick up the money
that I borrowed right now.
So thank you for coming
'cause now you can help.
I scouted the place.
Good news.
I can't wait.
I peeked in the window
around back.
The money is sitting
right there on a table.
Okay, so what
should we do, Dan?
'Cause not only do we not have a
warrant, we don't have badges.
So, what's your plan?
You just gonna walk up,
knock on the door,
and say, "dallas police. Freeze.
Drop your weapons.
We're surrounding the building.
Now give us the money back."
I was thinking more
like I'd, uh,
pick the lock, grab the bag
when they're not looking,
and hightail it out of there.
So stealing it.
That's your brilliant plan.
Oh, come on, jacko.
It's not stealing
if they don't see you take it.
It's the very definition
of stealing.
[ Lock disengages ]
Cover me.
Oh...
Cover you with what, Dan?
'Cause I turned my gun in
to ruiz
when you got us both suspended.
Think positive thoughts.
Send good energy.
Nikolai: Yes,
we have the money.
Announcer on tv: ...Trail by 12
with a minute and a half
to play in regulation.
A business loan.
Do you take cash bills?
Very good.
And the plan, how is it coming?
Is done, then?
Wonderful!
Where can we meet you?
Hang on.
Let me write this down.
All right, Dan.
Buck: There's another pen
right over there.
Okay. Yes.
Uh-huh.
3:00.
I'll see you there.
[ Laughs ]
No, no, no, no!
[ Light thump ]
What the hell?
Hey!
Hey!
Dallas police!
Drop your weapons! Freeze!
We're surrounding the building!
Not again!
Let's get the money
and get out of here!
Next time,
I'll cover you.
This peach is incredibly juicy.
Do you want one?
No, I'm fine.
There's a lot of stuff here
written about the same guy,
a Sasha tsalka.
I'm guessing he's not
the brains of the operation.
Well, your friends came through
with the cash.
It's gonna be delivered
this afternoon,
which means
you are getting out of here.
The only way
to make a clean break
is while transferring you
to a high-security facility.
Of course, I'd need
a justifiable reason
for transferring you there.
Doing serious bodily harm
to a guard
would be a good example.
You think you can help me out?
All right, then.
[ laughs ]
Johnson!
[ Buzzer sounds ]
Yes, sir?
Escort this prisoner
back to his cell, please, sir.
[ Sasha screams ]
[ Punches landing ]
Johnson: Please help me!
[ Sighs ]
Why am I not surprised?
I mean, yeah, sure.
Why not? You know?
What's another black spot
on our record?
That's exactly what I thought.
Okay, here's the situation...
Your friends with my 50 grand,
they just tried
to fill us with lead.
So now you're gonna
tell us why.
Or we can drag you
down to the station.
With your knife
and all the snip, snip, snipping
you've been doing,
you could spend
a long time in jail.
[ Laughing ] No, no, no.
You got it all wrong.
I am really a nice guy.
You have to
understand something...
In my business,
the only leverage I have
is the threat of cutting off
a man's jewels.
Any actual lopping off would be
a failure on my part.
I would not get my money back,
I would lose a customer,
and probably a friend.
Okay. Um...
Well, why don't you tell us
w-what you know,
and...
And we can all be friends?
We could be pals.
Okay, there was one thing.
They wanted to some equipment,
some military stuff.
Military stuff?
What kind of military stuff?
Rocket grenade launchers,
gas masks.
One of those things that
the army uses to stop cars.
You know what?
This has been a great start.
I did good?
Yeah.
You're turning into
a great snitch.
Dig in.
Nikolai:
The money is all here.
Mm.
Nice.
I need
to walk you through this.
You're gonna need these.
This is
the primary route we use
for high-security
prisoner transports.
Usually, we escort the van
with an armed convoy.
I'll make sure
we're riding light.
You hit the van here.
You're gonna get one shot
at this, slick,
so make sure you arrive
with enough firepower
to make it count.
We have everything we need.
That's right.
We're loaded for bear.
Okay, we got to stop this,
whatever "this" is.
We've got to call it in.
I thought you said
it wasn't a case.
I did.
And it's not.
It's just...
You're right.
We're still cops.
Can you call Liz, see if she can
work some of her lawyer mojo on it?
No, no. Now is not
a good time to call Liz.
Did you guys have a fight?
No, we were having a terrific evening,
but then I found out that
my partner stole $50,000
from the police department.
Borrowed $50,000.
I borrowed $50,000.
Yeah, okay.
I got to call the lieutenant.
[ Beep ]
[ Telephone rings ]
Tell me you have found
your idiotic partner.
Uh, no.
Uh, not yet, but I...
But I'm close.
Inches away, really.
Let me handle this.
Detective?
Hi, uh, yes, hello.
Um, look, I-I've got a theory
on where stark might be,
but just to be sure,
I need some department
information,
you know, under the table.
Okay, what's going on, Jack?
Well, to be fair,
you probably shouldn't know
about it, lieutenant.
Legally speaking.
But it's just one record.
Which one?
Sasha tsalka.
T-s-a-l-k-a.
All right, but you should know
that I have an a.P.B. Out
on stark, okay?
The entire department
is looking for him.
That... that's great.
That will really help.
All right, here we go.
Sasha tsalka.
Looks like he's at
leland state pen.
Oh, this is interesting.
He's about to be transferred
to a supermax.
Transferred to supermax?
When?
About 20 minutes.
Uh, lieutenant, you might
want to call the prison
and tell them they're gonna need
to beef up their security
for that prisoner transfer.
What is this about, Detective?
I'm sorry, I got to go,
but as soon as I can,
I'll get you up to speed.
Okay, turn here.
If they're going from leland state pen
to the supermax, they got to take 11th.
You sure about that?
[ tires screech ]
Why else would they buy
all that equipment, all right?
Someone is busting this Sasha
out of prison
unless we get there first.
That's what I'm talking about!
You're using your cop sense!
It's what's inside that counts!
You know, I'd like to point out
that you financed this prison
break with department money!
Don't get bogged down
in the details.
The important thing is,
we are on the streets,
enforcing the law.
[ Horn honks ]
Whoa!
You just ran that red light!
What did I just say about not
getting bogged down in the details?
I had that dream again
last night.
Mm-hmm.
The one where ruiz is giving me
a bubble bath.
Was that
who I thought that was?
I've been waiting
for this my whole life.
[ Siren wails ]
[Tires screech ]
This is Hodges and lang.
We have eyes on the trans am.
Request permission to attempt
a disabling maneuver,
and possibly the use
of lethal force, if necessary.
Stark: Hey, Hodges,
Dan stark here.
We're involved
in a little police work,
so you might want
to sit this one out.
Also, people still think
you're dumb. Ooh.
Where the hell's the prison van?
This is the road.
I mean, we're bound
to cross him sometime.
Just keep your eye out.
[ Tires screech ]
[ Cellphone rings ]
Uh, hey.
Liz: Hey.
Do you have one second?
Uh...
Yeah, sure.
Listen, I wanted
to apologize to you.
I went off on you the other day,
and I shouldn't have done that.
Right, right.
Truth be told, Kyle and I
just aren't connecting lately.
I don't know what it is,
but it feels like he just isn't
even listening to me anymore.
Watch out!
[ horn honks ]
I won't lie.
That was close.
Jack? What's going on?
I'm sorry, what did you say?
Oh, my God,
you've got to be kidding me.
No, I-I-I agree.
Or... or disagree.
It's... it's just, uh...
You know what, Jack?
Never mind. No, wait! Liz!
Oh. Lizzy got some
burlap in her panties?
What do you say next time ruiz
puts us on "vacation,"
we just head down to Miami?
So you're saying
there will be a next time.
Nice.
This is warden teague.
Warden, this is lieutenant ruiz
from Dallas p.D.
We've been hearing some, well,
let's just call it chatter
about a prisoner
you're moving today.
What do you mean, chatter?
Nothing definitive.
Just thought you might want
to hold off on that transfer
till we can provide you
with some extra security.
I'd like to help you,
lieutenant,
but that convoy
has left already.
I-I tell you what.
I'll see what I can muster up.
But I want to thank you
for the heads up.
Anytime.
[ beep ]
Lang:
Pull it over, stark!
Lose them!
The hell did Hodges
learn to drive like that?
The guy wears loafers.
Lang:
Pull over, stark!
Pull it over, stark!
Pull it over now!
Pull it over!
Pull over, stark!
We've got you!
Yeah, just one second, Hodges.
Just give me the milk out of
the back seat. The milk! Stat!
Give it to me, give it to me,
give it to me, give it to me.
How old is that milk?
Whoo!
Old.
Hey, lang!
[ Tires screech ]
Stark!
[ Laughs ] Whoo!
[ Laughs ]
Okay, why do you have a gallon
of old milk in the back seat?
That's an oldie but goodie
that Frank came up with.
It's called
"a milk shake."
Was that?
Yes, yes!
I'm gonna have to ask you
to hang on for this!
[ Tires screech ]
[ Gas hisses ]
[ Guards coughing ]
I can't wait
to see the big lug.
Sasha!
You've lost weight, my friend.
You look tiny.
Police! Freeze!
Drop your weapon!
Now put your hands on your head
and slowly
back out of the vehicle.
Do not turn around or I will
shoot you, all right?
Nikolai:
A cop with knife?
Yeah. You're... you're just gonna
have to trust me on that one.
In Georgia, we do not shoot
an unarmed man.
[ Sasha grunts ]
However, in Georgia...
[ Grunts ]
[ Punches landing ]
Who needs a gun?
Am I right?
[ Grunts ]
Uh, I wouldn't mind one
right now.
Good thing there's two of us.
Yeah, but there's
like three of him.
Got to fight him
hand-to-hand!
Like gladiators!
What are you talking about?
Give me that knife.
Dan... Dan,
what are you doing?
Ha!
No, no, no! Dan!
[ Shouts ]
Oh
ow!
Okay.
What do you, uh,
what do you say
we just get back in the van
and talk this out, yeah?
No? Okay. All right.
Uh...
[ Knuckles crack ] Ow.
Dan! Little help here.
Yeah, yeah.
I think we're wearing him down!
Yeah.
Don't lose hope!
Okay.
It's like "rocky iv."
What?
The ending...
Not the beginning
where the big Russian dude
kills the black guy.
[ Growls ]
Oh, my lord!
Dan, we need
a better plan here, buddy.
Yeah, we do!
[ growls ]
Oh, God. Okay.
Hey, uh, you don't need your
eyes to catch a bad guy, right?
Huh?
No, I don't need my eyes!
All I need is my cop sense!
Oh! What?!
Hey, big guy!
[ Sasha groans ]
Ooh! Geez.
Agh! Ooh!
My eyes. I love the smell of
tear gas in the afternoon!
Come on!
This is spicy!
Come on!
Jack, where is he?
You got to help me!
Am I close?
To your right!
My right!
No, other right, I think.
Other right!
Come on!
Ah!
Ow!
I got him!
I got him!
Yeah, getting tired, baby!
[ Screams ]
Jack! Oh! He's double-husky!
I turned around. I clocked
my boy, knocked him out.
He fell out.
So then the other dude came,
but he punched me in my eye.
And another one kick...
Oh, you know what? Right back.
Excuse me, excuse me.
Hey, hey.
These dudes... smugglers,
all three of them.
The thin one... he Russian
or something like that.
And this big dude... I know
you supposed to be in jail, man.
You're Dan stark's c.
I., right? Yeah.
Yeah, I'm Julius grant.
Care to tell me
how they got here?
I single-handedly
arrested them.
Yeah, it's like a...
It's like a citizen's arrest.
Now, my question is,
is there like a reward
for this kind of thing?
Okay, I'm gonna take that
as a yes.
[ Inhales deeply ]
Mmm. Smells like home,
doesn't it?
Indeed, it does.
And old milk.
Hey, Hodges.
You still smell like
a cow's ass.
If I were lieutenant,
you two would never
get your badges back.
Since you're not,
we lined up a new informant
named kasson.
A former loan shark.
Surprisingly nice guy.
Would you do the paperwork
on that?
Thank you, stinky.
Thanks, buddy.
Oh. Hello, Liz.
This is weird.
Did it get weird? Yeah.
I know it's awkward,
but I-I just...
I want to keep standing here.
Can I?
You're mad at me, aren't you?
Yes.
Because I was rude to you
on the phone? Mm-hmm.
You do realize that I was in the
middle of a high-speed chase?
It was very dangerous.
Oh, I forgot... you are two-thirds
fun and one-third danger.
Exactly.
And you just happened to catch
me during that one-third.
Right.
So let me make this up to you.
You, me, some harmless paper
targets, and some live ammo.
[ Laughs ]
Jack Bailey, that is
every girl's dream.
You sure your job
won't interfere this time?
Absolutely.
Bailey.
Yeah? I need you and
stark in my office now.
Except this one time.
Dan?
Coming, dear.
Here we are again, gentlemen.
So what's it gonna be, Ana?
You gonna
double-dog suspend us?
You should know
that the money that went missing
from the narcoticsepartment
was marked.
Marked?
Yes, it was.
And our system got tripped.
Turns out,
someone deposited that money.
[ Gun cocks ]
[ Cylinder clicking ]
[ Tires screech ]
Cuff him.
What? Hey!
He paid off guards,
clerks, inmates.
This marked money
exposed a major prison scandal.
You're welcome.
Well, uh, what happens
if... if word gets out
about, uh, Dan's,
uh, "borrowing"?
Um...
If people find out
that he stole the cash...
No, no. No,
no one stole the cash.
One of our detectives
simply signed out the money
for a sting operation.
And, thankfully,
there is paperwork on file.
It's terrible paperwork,
but it's paperwork.
I never was really good
with the forms.
Okay, so, lieutenant,
what does this mean?
You are reinstated,
effective immediately.
God help us all.
I love it!
You sly dog, Ana.
No sly dog here.
I love
this new side of you.
No, no, no.
No new side.
It's smoking hot.
No, no, no.
No hot...
No smoking side.
You're a complicated woman.
Just get the hell
out of my office, please,
and don't let me think
about what I just did.
Dirty. I like it.
Nice bust.
Come on, partner.
Vacation's over.
[ gunshots ]
[ Bystanders screaming ]
Freeze, punk!
The next one of these goes
in your worthless perp ass!
I'll tell you,
if there's anything I hate
more than a thief
it's running.
[ Screams ]
Spicy!
Spicy in my eyes!
Where are ya?
I can't see!
Aah!
Aah!
I can't see!
I can't see!
[ Tires screech ]
Aah! [ grunts ]
Aah!
Dallas police department!
I am commando-ing
this vehicle!
Please exit the vehicle!
Get out! Thank you.
All right.
What is... is this automatic
or stick?
It's... it's an automatic!
Are you okay to drive?
It's an automatic?
Yeah. What are you...
Uh...
[ Tires screech ]
[ Gunshot ]
[ Cylinder clicking ]
Okay, so,
just so I'm clear,
you commandeered
a civilian vehicle,
then drove down the street
completely blind
in pursuit of a suspect.
And I caught him.
I caught him.
And he was caught.
You're welcome.
I'm over here.
You're welcome.
Okay, so in your world,
I'm happy that you veered
up onto a sidewalk,
destroyed
a dozen parking meters,
and then collided
with an ice cream truck?
Distracting the suspect
so that he lost control
of his moped thingy,
whereupon my partner
arrested him.
Dan, you caused thousands
of dollars worth of damage,
and, not to mention,
endangered the lives
of numerous
innocent pedestrians.
Please! I was in complete
control the entire time.
Okay then.
You're suspended.
What?!
Both of you.
What?!
On my desk, guns and badges.
Now. Effective immediately.
Oh. Lieutenant, with
all due respect,
why am I being suspended?
I didn't do anything!
Exactly.
You had an opportunity
to strangle him
before he got in the car,
and you didn't.
So, therefore, guns and badges
on my desk, gentlemen.
This is bullcrap.
[ Badge rattles ]
[ Gun thuds ]
I don't need my eyes
to bust a punk.
The only sense I need
is my cop sense.
Oh!
Well, all in all,
I got to call that a win.
A "win"?
Dan, we got suspended
for a week.
That is a loss.
That is a blowout loss.
Come on, you're acting like you've
never been suspended before.
I have never
been suspended before.
Well, look, every cop goes
on "vacation" once in a while.
It's the department's
way of saying
you've been working too hard,
chill out,
recharge your batteries.
Dan, this is not a vacation!
This is a serious black spot
on our careers.
Sounds like you need a beer.
How about
we pick up a six-pack
and decompress
in my thinking room?
Your "thinking room"?
Yeah, no.
That sounds like getting drunk
at the carousel.
No, thank you.
Well, we got to make a game plan
for our vacation.
You know what?
We don't have to
do anything.
'Cause if there is one
bright spot in all of this,
it's that whatever idiotic, stupid,
boneheaded thing you do tomorrow,
it won't be my problem.
That's no way
to talk to your partner.
We're not partners, Dan.
Not this week.
I'm on vacation.
Hey, I...
I'm not the enemy here!
We may be on vacation,
but the bad guys aren't!
[ Russian accent ] There is
much work to do, comrade. Come.
We need to do this deal
as soon as possible.
Today.
We'll see about that.
First thing I need to know
is who I'm dealing with.
We are known in certain circles
as "the Georgians."
You don't sound like
you're from Georgia.
I am from Democratic Republic
of Georgia.
My associate, buck,
is from Atlanta.
[ Southern accent ] Pleasure
to make your acquaintance.
Georgia, Georgia.
[ laughs ]
Yes, is...
Is very funny.
Everyone makes joke.
We hooked up doing
smugglin' runs out of the Gulf.
There was this kingpin
down in Mexico
was asking
for "the Georgian."
I-I thought he was
talkin' about me,
and Nikolai thought
he was talkin' 'bout him.
We both show up, make team.
Rest is history.
Anyway, we got raided
by the feds last June,
and Nik's cousin Sasha
got pinched,
and we've been a man down
ever since.
Our contact,
he said you are capable
of breaking a man
out of prison.
Is this true?
I can bust your buddy out.
I can bust anybody out.
For a price.
Then give us price.
That depends on who
you want sprung, don't it?
Who is it
we're talkin' about here?
We want our Sasha back.
Ooh, baby.
Says here this fella killed an
FBI Agent with his bare hands?
Bit a fella's ear off?
[ Chuckles ]
What do y'all want
with a psycho like this?
Sasha is not psycho.
He is hero.
He is like a ray of light
in this dark world.
[ Gun cocks ]
[ Cylinder clicking ]
[ Screams ]
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Aah!
Aah!
Sasha, hurry!
Go!
You are too good
for this world, Sasha!
Every night I see his face
looking back at me.
His big, noble hands
crushing the life
out of the FBI Agent.
Now the joy of smuggling
is gone.
My heart is breaking.
If we don't spring Sasha soon,
we might as well just pack it
in and head on back to Georgia.
Or possibly Georgia.
Yeah, I get your point.
Well, sir, you want a fella like
your buddy out of the joint,
it's gonna cost you
some real money.
[ Scoffs ]
You gotta be kidding me...
We ain't got this.
Then I guess you could have figured out
the way you live with a broken heart.
- Hey!
- Hey!
- Said I'd find you here.
- Yeah, I guess I...
Needed to blow off a little steam.
Nice ??
Thank you.
How are you?
My day's going pretty crappy.
So I was actually coming by
to see if you wanted too...
Do some fun, later.
Get a drink or something.
I mean as friends.
We can do that still, right?
As friends?
Yeah, have fun?
Yeah, yeah.
I'm tons of fun.
Well, ah, I'm two-thirds fun,
one-third danger.
[ Laughing ] That right?
[ laughs ]
You okay?
Just more Kyle stuff.
You know.
The point is
that we had a fight,
and we are not speaking
at the moment.
Do you mind?
No. Be my guest.
It looks like we could both
use a little fun.
Julius grant!
Dallas police department!
We got the place surrounded!
I am on vacation!
[ gun cocks ]
[ Gunshot ] I got a cooler
full of beers in the car.
Looking for a little quality
snitch/detective time.
Julius: Dan.
Son of a...
Julius.
What the hell happened to you?
What the hell
you think happened?
It looks like you got punched
in the face really hard.
[ Cylinder clicking ]
[ Gunshot ]
[ Grunts ]
Oh, no, no, no.
Man, you said I had two weeks.
That's right. So?
It's been 13 days.
I don't think that's right.
I borrowed the money on the 5th.
Today's the 18th.
Wait, no, the 5th was a Monday.
No, I borrowed the money
on a Tuesday, okay?
Today's Monday, which means
that it's been 13 days.
You're a day early.
Well, consider this
a courtesy reminder visit.
Okay. Just... you know,
next time,
you just give me a call, okay?
50 grand.
In cash.
If I don't see it
by tomorrow...
[ Whistles ] Snip.
[ Inhales sharply
through teeth ]
Ouch.
He'd really do that?
Yeah, man.
He's threatened to take my, uh,
my baby-making accessories,
man.
Dude's name is kasson, man.
And he just... he puts
the shark in loan shark.
How did you end up borrowing
50 grand, anyway? Inventory.
Look, these shelves... they don't
fill themselves, man, okay?
Plus, I'm trying
to go straight, you know,
streamline my business model.
Stop stealing
all the stuff you sell?
Yes, okay?
But you know what?
It turns out that the stealing
kept my overhead down.
You know, I got an Uncle
with one "testee,"
and he's doing great.
You know, it's all systems go
down below.
I'm just thinking that maybe
you can talk this guy down
to a huevo solo.
You talking about one?
A single.
No, no.
You don't need two!
It's like kidneys.
No, it's not.
I understand the emotional attachment.
It's a matched pair.
They don't have to be.
But they are.
They got fake ones.
It's a matched pair, Dan.
Okay?
Look, you want to help me,
help me, man.
I need a little
cop action on this, Dan.
See, the problem is,
this vacation I'm on
is the kind where
you don't really carry a badge.
You got suspended?
It's more like
a-a disciplinary sabbatical.
Are you serious?
I saved your life, Dan.
I saved your partner's life.
I took a bullet for you.
And the one time
I really need you,
you're suspended.
I may be able to help you
get that 50 grand.
Where you gonna get
50 grand, Dan?
Hey, stark, that parking
is for police officers only.
People think you're stupid.
I'm not about
to let a loan shark
run my only snitch out of town.
Ohh! Oh!
Put it back.
What are you, crazy?
Did you steal this money?
No, I didn't steal it.
I borrowed it.
You pay off the shark,
I'll bust him.
I'll get it back
before anybody knows it's gone.
Hey, not to criticize
your technique,
but I-I just don't think this is
how a cop should handle this.
Well, good thing this week
I'm not a cop.
[ Tires screech ]
Okay. So just... you
know... I don't know...
Tell me
how does this work, again?
Just hand the dude the bag.
Okay, then what do you do?
I'll be in the back in case
he figures out he's being set up
and starts cutting people.
Whoa. "People"? I-I'm the only
one in here, Dan.
Don't get worked up!
It's gonna be fine.
Okay, wait, wait, wait.
So, w-we do the deal.
You run in and you bust him,
he's gonna know
that we were working together.
No, I'm not gonna
bust him right away.
I'm gonna tail him for a while
and bust him later.
He's never gonna
connect me and you.
Okay, but wait a sec.
I got another question for you.
How you gonna bust him? You're
not exactly a cop right now.
Fine, I am going to
retrieve the money,
and then I am going
to detain him
at an undisclosed location
until I get my badge back.
That sounds like you're just gonna
rob him and then kidnap him
and then, like, keep him
in a dungeon for like a week.
You know what?
It's... it's very technical.
You'd never understand.
There he is.
He's coming. Okay. All right.
You're good, man.
Shoot!
Kasson. Hey,
how you doing, man?
It's good to see you.
So, do you have my money today?
Or does the shark...
Get to have a bite?
Okay, all right.
I got your money.
No biting.
Here. It's all here
in the bag o'money.
This is great!
[ laughs ]
You know, I was hoping
I wouldn't have to...
Hey, okay. Right.
...Snip your grapes off.
Yeah, I was
rooting for that, too.
[ Sighs ]
I want to apologize
for the mix-up yesterday.
I know you have a lot of places
you can go for money,
and I appreciate
you coming to me.
Honestly, you and me...
I was hoping
that we could still be friends.
Like b. F.F.'S.
Mm-hmm. Sure.
You know what? Could you
put that away for me, please?
It's making me
a tiny bit uncomfortable.
This thing?
It is.
Sure, sure.
It is.
It's really just for show...
You know, the knife,
the crazy eyes.
To be honest with you,
I haven't had to use this
since Thanksgiving.
[ Both chuckle ]
I cut a guy
who wouldn't pass the gravy.
[ Laughing ] I'm kidding.
[ laughs nervously ]
Or am I?
I...
[ Laughs ]
I didn't... I didn't know.
I was in it, right?
Yeah.
I'm just gonna count this
and I'll get out of here.
[ Grunts ]
It ain't enough, Nik.
Teague wants 50 grand
to spring Sasha,
and we ain't even close to that.
This is bad.
Is very bad.
I don't know if we're gonna
be able to pull this off.
Don't think that way!
We do it for Sasha.
Think of the good times
we had together.
Remember how Sasha always is
wiping bloody hand on sleeve
after he kill a man?
And we have to say, "no!
Is evidence! Don't do that!"
And then we have to
burn his clothes.
And you remember when Sasha
beat that trucker to death,
put the guy's hat on his head?
Ah, yes!
And he dance around and say,
"hey, look at me!
[ Cellphone rings ]
Mm. [ chuckles ]
[ Ringing continues ]
Really persistent.
I'm sure it's just, uh, Dan
wanting a drinking partner.
The off button's
the red one right there.
[ Ringing continues ]
It's ruiz.
Um...I-I don't know...
I...
I-I'm sorry.
I... let me just...
[ Beep ]
Uh, this is Bailey.
Ruiz: Is he with you?
Put stark on the phone.
Now.
I have no idea where Dan is.
What's going on?
Oh, nothing big.
Just $50,000 is missing
from the narcotics division.
$50,000?
Uh, okay.
Well, this may sound like
a stupid question,
but are you sure it's Dan?
Well, whoever took the money
left an I.O.U.
Written on a bar napkin!
Yeah, that sounds like Dan.
Find your partner
and see what kind of trouble
he's gotten himself into.
Yeah, understood.
[ Beep ]
What was that about?
Dan's in trouble.
You've been apart for one day.
How much trouble could
he possibly have gotten into?
[ Gun cocks ]
[ Cylinder clicking ]
[ Gunshot ] Nothing went wrong.
The loan-shark guy
stopped at a bar.
Gave him some time
to drink a few rounds.
When he comes out,
I'm gonna bust him.
Julius:
Keep me out of this.
Okay, this dude has a screw
loose and a big-ass knife.
The two do not mix well.
Will you relax?
I've been following this dude
and the bag of money for hours.
I got the situation
completely under control.
Here he is now.
Son of a...
Where's the bag?
Uh, I got to call you back.
Uh...[ clears throat ]
Hey, hey, hey, hoss!
Slow down a sec.
Uh...
Sorry, do I know you?
Dallas p.D. Keep your hands
where I can see 'em.
I got to ask you
a few questions.
You're a cop?
Yes, sir, I am.
You got a badge?
Of course I got a badge.
Why wouldn't I have a badge?
Actually, I don't have a badge.
I'm undercover.
As what, the '70s?
[ laughs ]
Wow. I love it. That's funny.
I never heard that before.
Where's the bag?
I don't want this
to get violent.
Where did it go?
[ Gun cocks ]
[ Cylinder clicking ]
Relax.
I've been following this dude...
50 g's at 10% a week...
That's just predatory lending.
Is okay.
Once we have Sasha back,
he will get money.
I can't wait to see
the smile on Sasha's face.
You know the one I'm talking
about with the...
Yeah, yeah.
[ Laughs ]
[ Cylinder clicking ]
Look, let's get real...
The money is gone.
I am a loan shark.
I loaned it...
Shark style.
That is all I can say.
Ho, ho, ho.
One second.
One second. No! Yep.
Whoa!
I'm gonna have to take you in
for resisting arrest.
The hell you are.
Show me your... oh!
All right. Whoa!
Oh.
Oh, my lord!
[ Laughs ]
Whoa,
low-blood-sugar moment.
Yeah, you got to keep
your potassium up
when you're drinking!
He just had about, oh,
I don't know,
three margaritas too many,
but don't y'all worry.
You guys look great.
[ car door slams ]
Everything is completely under control.
[ engine turns over ]
Dan?
Dan, are you here?
Oh, my God!
This place has been ransacked!
No, it... it's always
like this.
Uh, Jack, when I was talking
about having fun earlier,
this isn't exactly
what I had in mind.
[ Sniffs ]
Doesn't smell like
he's been here recently.
[ Laughing ] Oh, wow.
Is this a shrine to himself?
Not really.
He calls it a "tribute."
To himself.
Look, Jack,
Dan is nowhere to be found.
There's no beer in the fridge.
Well, is it possible
he just ran out of beer?
Actually, no.
All right, he had to
have taken it somewhere.
Maybe to his thinking place.
I'm not even gonna ask.
You know what, Jack?
I've had enough fun
for one night.
I know this is your job
and you got to do it,
but, um, makes it hard
to have a good time, doesn't it?
Well, no.
Can you just take me home?
Dan!
It... it's me, Julius, man.
I got the, uh,
I got the burger.
Over here.
Yeah, I got the burgers that
you was asking for, man.
Oh!
What are you trying
to do to me, man?
I thought the whole idea of this was
you was gonna keep me out of it?
There have been some
unanticipated developments.
The department's money is gone.
Your friend has loaned it
to someone.
Turns out he also puts
the "loan" in loan shark.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
I know, I know, I know.
Give me the burgers here.
Okay, we can do this
the easy way or the hard way.
The easy way is you tell me
exactly what I want to know
and we open a couple of beers
and then we enjoy
a lasso burger.
Mmm. How's that smell?
The best hamburger...
Think about it...
In Texas.
That is door number one.
Door number two
is the hard way,
which I would really
rather not do
because I have not yet
loosened up or stretched.
So, my question to you is...
[ Grunts ]
What's it gonna be?
I ain't talking.
I ain't a snitch.
Hey!
Hey, now that's uncalled for.
Shoe fits.
Oh, damn it.
It's gonna be the hard way.
Oh, no.
You know what, Dan?
Can I...Punch him?
You sucker-punched me
yesterday.
Yeah, sure.
I mean, I'm not a lawyer,
but, you know, seems fair to me.
Yeah. Okay.
[ Laughs ]
Ohh!
That's for coming a day early!
Ahh!
What was that for?
That's for interest.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Looky here.
Nice police work, my brother.
Okay, don't call me that.
Why not?
It... it's... you know, it's weird.
Yeah, I get it.
Hey!
That is private property!
Yes, it is.
It looks to be a list of all the
people you have lent money to,
and I would imagine that
the person you lent my money to
is on this list.
So, what should we do?
I tell you what...
I do hate to be rude,
but I just need to make...
Make a couple phone calls.
Well, wait, wait, wait.
Don't, don't. Hang on one second.
Tch, tch, tch,
tch, tch, tch, tch! Hang on.
"Bad mike"?
This is Detective Dan stark...
All right, all right!
I loaned the money to two guys
called the Georgians.
Where do I find them?
There you are!
Why didn't you answer my calls?
Well, I seem to remember
someone telling me
that I was not their partner
while we were on vacation.
You didn't steal $50,000
fromom the department, did you?
Of course I di't steal $50,000.
I borrowed $50,000
from the department.
Are you out of your mind?!
I did it
for a very good reason...
To save our dear friend
and snitch Julius grant's
opportunity to bring a child
into this world.
But if your concerns
are financial...
And I understand that
right now...
You can rest assured
that I am on my way
to pick up the money
that I borrowed right now.
So thank you for coming
'cause now you can help.
I scouted the place.
Good news.
I can't wait.
I peeked in the window
around back.
The money is sitting
right there on a table.
Okay, so what
should we do, Dan?
'Cause not only do we not have a
warrant, we don't have badges.
So, what's your plan?
You just gonna walk up,
knock on the door,
and say, "dallas police. Freeze.
Drop your weapons.
We're surrounding the building.
Now give us the money back."
I was thinking more
like I'd, uh,
pick the lock, grab the bag
when they're not looking,
and hightail it out of there.
So stealing it.
That's your brilliant plan.
Oh, come on, jacko.
It's not stealing
if they don't see you take it.
It's the very definition
of stealing.
[ Lock disengages ]
Cover me.
Oh...
Cover you with what, Dan?
'Cause I turned my gun in
to ruiz
when you got us both suspended.
Think positive thoughts.
Send good energy.
Nikolai: Yes,
we have the money.
Announcer on tv: ...Trail by 12
with a minute and a half
to play in regulation.
A business loan.
Do you take cash bills?
Very good.
And the plan, how is it coming?
Is done, then?
Wonderful!
Where can we meet you?
Hang on.
Let me write this down.
All right, Dan.
Buck: There's another pen
right over there.
Okay. Yes.
Uh-huh.
3:00.
I'll see you there.
[ Laughs ]
No, no, no, no!
[ Light thump ]
What the hell?
Hey!
Hey!
Dallas police!
Drop your weapons! Freeze!
We're surrounding the building!
Not again!
Let's get the money
and get out of here!
Next time,
I'll cover you.
This peach is incredibly juicy.
Do you want one?
No, I'm fine.
There's a lot of stuff here
written about the same guy,
a Sasha tsalka.
I'm guessing he's not
the brains of the operation.
Well, your friends came through
with the cash.
It's gonna be delivered
this afternoon,
which means
you are getting out of here.
The only way
to make a clean break
is while transferring you
to a high-security facility.
Of course, I'd need
a justifiable reason
for transferring you there.
Doing serious bodily harm
to a guard
would be a good example.
You think you can help me out?
All right, then.
[ laughs ]
Johnson!
[ Buzzer sounds ]
Yes, sir?
Escort this prisoner
back to his cell, please, sir.
[ Sasha screams ]
[ Punches landing ]
Johnson: Please help me!
[ Sighs ]
Why am I not surprised?
I mean, yeah, sure.
Why not? You know?
What's another black spot
on our record?
That's exactly what I thought.
Okay, here's the situation...
Your friends with my 50 grand,
they just tried
to fill us with lead.
So now you're gonna
tell us why.
Or we can drag you
down to the station.
With your knife
and all the snip, snip, snipping
you've been doing,
you could spend
a long time in jail.
[ Laughing ] No, no, no.
You got it all wrong.
I am really a nice guy.
You have to
understand something...
In my business,
the only leverage I have
is the threat of cutting off
a man's jewels.
Any actual lopping off would be
a failure on my part.
I would not get my money back,
I would lose a customer,
and probably a friend.
Okay. Um...
Well, why don't you tell us
w-what you know,
and...
And we can all be friends?
We could be pals.
Okay, there was one thing.
They wanted to some equipment,
some military stuff.
Military stuff?
What kind of military stuff?
Rocket grenade launchers,
gas masks.
One of those things that
the army uses to stop cars.
You know what?
This has been a great start.
I did good?
Yeah.
You're turning into
a great snitch.
Dig in.
Nikolai:
The money is all here.
Mm.
Nice.
I need
to walk you through this.
You're gonna need these.
This is
the primary route we use
for high-security
prisoner transports.
Usually, we escort the van
with an armed convoy.
I'll make sure
we're riding light.
You hit the van here.
You're gonna get one shot
at this, slick,
so make sure you arrive
with enough firepower
to make it count.
We have everything we need.
That's right.
We're loaded for bear.
Okay, we got to stop this,
whatever "this" is.
We've got to call it in.
I thought you said
it wasn't a case.
I did.
And it's not.
It's just...
You're right.
We're still cops.
Can you call Liz, see if she can
work some of her lawyer mojo on it?
No, no. Now is not
a good time to call Liz.
Did you guys have a fight?
No, we were having a terrific evening,
but then I found out that
my partner stole $50,000
from the police department.
Borrowed $50,000.
I borrowed $50,000.
Yeah, okay.
I got to call the lieutenant.
[ Beep ]
[ Telephone rings ]
Tell me you have found
your idiotic partner.
Uh, no.
Uh, not yet, but I...
But I'm close.
Inches away, really.
Let me handle this.
Detective?
Hi, uh, yes, hello.
Um, look, I-I've got a theory
on where stark might be,
but just to be sure,
I need some department
information,
you know, under the table.
Okay, what's going on, Jack?
Well, to be fair,
you probably shouldn't know
about it, lieutenant.
Legally speaking.
But it's just one record.
Which one?
Sasha tsalka.
T-s-a-l-k-a.
All right, but you should know
that I have an a.P.B. Out
on stark, okay?
The entire department
is looking for him.
That... that's great.
That will really help.
All right, here we go.
Sasha tsalka.
Looks like he's at
leland state pen.
Oh, this is interesting.
He's about to be transferred
to a supermax.
Transferred to supermax?
When?
About 20 minutes.
Uh, lieutenant, you might
want to call the prison
and tell them they're gonna need
to beef up their security
for that prisoner transfer.
What is this about, Detective?
I'm sorry, I got to go,
but as soon as I can,
I'll get you up to speed.
Okay, turn here.
If they're going from leland state pen
to the supermax, they got to take 11th.
You sure about that?
[ tires screech ]
Why else would they buy
all that equipment, all right?
Someone is busting this Sasha
out of prison
unless we get there first.
That's what I'm talking about!
You're using your cop sense!
It's what's inside that counts!
You know, I'd like to point out
that you financed this prison
break with department money!
Don't get bogged down
in the details.
The important thing is,
we are on the streets,
enforcing the law.
[ Horn honks ]
Whoa!
You just ran that red light!
What did I just say about not
getting bogged down in the details?
I had that dream again
last night.
Mm-hmm.
The one where ruiz is giving me
a bubble bath.
Was that
who I thought that was?
I've been waiting
for this my whole life.
[ Siren wails ]
[Tires screech ]
This is Hodges and lang.
We have eyes on the trans am.
Request permission to attempt
a disabling maneuver,
and possibly the use
of lethal force, if necessary.
Stark: Hey, Hodges,
Dan stark here.
We're involved
in a little police work,
so you might want
to sit this one out.
Also, people still think
you're dumb. Ooh.
Where the hell's the prison van?
This is the road.
I mean, we're bound
to cross him sometime.
Just keep your eye out.
[ Tires screech ]
[ Cellphone rings ]
Uh, hey.
Liz: Hey.
Do you have one second?
Uh...
Yeah, sure.
Listen, I wanted
to apologize to you.
I went off on you the other day,
and I shouldn't have done that.
Right, right.
Truth be told, Kyle and I
just aren't connecting lately.
I don't know what it is,
but it feels like he just isn't
even listening to me anymore.
Watch out!
[ horn honks ]
I won't lie.
That was close.
Jack? What's going on?
I'm sorry, what did you say?
Oh, my God,
you've got to be kidding me.
No, I-I-I agree.
Or... or disagree.
It's... it's just, uh...
You know what, Jack?
Never mind. No, wait! Liz!
Oh. Lizzy got some
burlap in her panties?
What do you say next time ruiz
puts us on "vacation,"
we just head down to Miami?
So you're saying
there will be a next time.
Nice.
This is warden teague.
Warden, this is lieutenant ruiz
from Dallas p.D.
We've been hearing some, well,
let's just call it chatter
about a prisoner
you're moving today.
What do you mean, chatter?
Nothing definitive.
Just thought you might want
to hold off on that transfer
till we can provide you
with some extra security.
I'd like to help you,
lieutenant,
but that convoy
has left already.
I-I tell you what.
I'll see what I can muster up.
But I want to thank you
for the heads up.
Anytime.
[ beep ]
Lang:
Pull it over, stark!
Lose them!
The hell did Hodges
learn to drive like that?
The guy wears loafers.
Lang:
Pull over, stark!
Pull it over, stark!
Pull it over now!
Pull it over!
Pull over, stark!
We've got you!
Yeah, just one second, Hodges.
Just give me the milk out of
the back seat. The milk! Stat!
Give it to me, give it to me,
give it to me, give it to me.
How old is that milk?
Whoo!
Old.
Hey, lang!
[ Tires screech ]
Stark!
[ Laughs ] Whoo!
[ Laughs ]
Okay, why do you have a gallon
of old milk in the back seat?
That's an oldie but goodie
that Frank came up with.
It's called
"a milk shake."
Was that?
Yes, yes!
I'm gonna have to ask you
to hang on for this!
[ Tires screech ]
[ Gas hisses ]
[ Guards coughing ]
I can't wait
to see the big lug.
Sasha!
You've lost weight, my friend.
You look tiny.
Police! Freeze!
Drop your weapon!
Now put your hands on your head
and slowly
back out of the vehicle.
Do not turn around or I will
shoot you, all right?
Nikolai:
A cop with knife?
Yeah. You're... you're just gonna
have to trust me on that one.
In Georgia, we do not shoot
an unarmed man.
[ Sasha grunts ]
However, in Georgia...
[ Grunts ]
[ Punches landing ]
Who needs a gun?
Am I right?
[ Grunts ]
Uh, I wouldn't mind one
right now.
Good thing there's two of us.
Yeah, but there's
like three of him.
Got to fight him
hand-to-hand!
Like gladiators!
What are you talking about?
Give me that knife.
Dan... Dan,
what are you doing?
Ha!
No, no, no! Dan!
[ Shouts ]
Oh
ow!
Okay.
What do you, uh,
what do you say
we just get back in the van
and talk this out, yeah?
No? Okay. All right.
Uh...
[ Knuckles crack ] Ow.
Dan! Little help here.
Yeah, yeah.
I think we're wearing him down!
Yeah.
Don't lose hope!
Okay.
It's like "rocky iv."
What?
The ending...
Not the beginning
where the big Russian dude
kills the black guy.
[ Growls ]
Oh, my lord!
Dan, we need
a better plan here, buddy.
Yeah, we do!
[ growls ]
Oh, God. Okay.
Hey, uh, you don't need your
eyes to catch a bad guy, right?
Huh?
No, I don't need my eyes!
All I need is my cop sense!
Oh! What?!
Hey, big guy!
[ Sasha groans ]
Ooh! Geez.
Agh! Ooh!
My eyes. I love the smell of
tear gas in the afternoon!
Come on!
This is spicy!
Come on!
Jack, where is he?
You got to help me!
Am I close?
To your right!
My right!
No, other right, I think.
Other right!
Come on!
Ah!
Ow!
I got him!
I got him!
Yeah, getting tired, baby!
[ Screams ]
Jack! Oh! He's double-husky!
I turned around. I clocked
my boy, knocked him out.
He fell out.
So then the other dude came,
but he punched me in my eye.
And another one kick...
Oh, you know what? Right back.
Excuse me, excuse me.
Hey, hey.
These dudes... smugglers,
all three of them.
The thin one... he Russian
or something like that.
And this big dude... I know
you supposed to be in jail, man.
You're Dan stark's c.
I., right? Yeah.
Yeah, I'm Julius grant.
Care to tell me
how they got here?
I single-handedly
arrested them.
Yeah, it's like a...
It's like a citizen's arrest.
Now, my question is,
is there like a reward
for this kind of thing?
Okay, I'm gonna take that
as a yes.
[ Inhales deeply ]
Mmm. Smells like home,
doesn't it?
Indeed, it does.
And old milk.
Hey, Hodges.
You still smell like
a cow's ass.
If I were lieutenant,
you two would never
get your badges back.
Since you're not,
we lined up a new informant
named kasson.
A former loan shark.
Surprisingly nice guy.
Would you do the paperwork
on that?
Thank you, stinky.
Thanks, buddy.
Oh. Hello, Liz.
This is weird.
Did it get weird? Yeah.
I know it's awkward,
but I-I just...
I want to keep standing here.
Can I?
You're mad at me, aren't you?
Yes.
Because I was rude to you
on the phone? Mm-hmm.
You do realize that I was in the
middle of a high-speed chase?
It was very dangerous.
Oh, I forgot... you are two-thirds
fun and one-third danger.
Exactly.
And you just happened to catch
me during that one-third.
Right.
So let me make this up to you.
You, me, some harmless paper
targets, and some live ammo.
[ Laughs ]
Jack Bailey, that is
every girl's dream.
You sure your job
won't interfere this time?
Absolutely.
Bailey.
Yeah? I need you and
stark in my office now.
Except this one time.
Dan?
Coming, dear.
Here we are again, gentlemen.
So what's it gonna be, Ana?
You gonna
double-dog suspend us?
You should know
that the money that went missing
from the narcoticsepartment
was marked.
Marked?
Yes, it was.
And our system got tripped.
Turns out,
someone deposited that money.
[ Gun cocks ]
[ Cylinder clicking ]
[ Tires screech ]
Cuff him.
What? Hey!
He paid off guards,
clerks, inmates.
This marked money
exposed a major prison scandal.
You're welcome.
Well, uh, what happens
if... if word gets out
about, uh, Dan's,
uh, "borrowing"?
Um...
If people find out
that he stole the cash...
No, no. No,
no one stole the cash.
One of our detectives
simply signed out the money
for a sting operation.
And, thankfully,
there is paperwork on file.
It's terrible paperwork,
but it's paperwork.
I never was really good
with the forms.
Okay, so, lieutenant,
what does this mean?
You are reinstated,
effective immediately.
God help us all.
I love it!
You sly dog, Ana.
No sly dog here.
I love
this new side of you.
No, no, no.
No new side.
It's smoking hot.
No, no, no.
No hot...
No smoking side.
You're a complicated woman.
Just get the hell
out of my office, please,
and don't let me think
about what I just did.
Dirty. I like it.
Nice bust.
Come on, partner.
Vacation's over.
