The Good Guys (2010): Season 1, Episode 5 - $3.52 - full transcript

Remember --
stick to the plan.

There's only two of them.

We got the element of surprise.

We take 'em out
with overwhelmin' force.

Overwhelmin' force.
Got it. Okay.

On three.

Uno, dos, tres.

Aah! Aah!

Shoot them!

Detective Stark?

Excuse me.



Do you see the man
who was driving the truck

In this courtroom?

Y-yeah.
That guy right there.

Let the record indicate

Detective Stark has pointed out
the defendant,

Mr. Wayne Young.

And he is the one that you
pulled over on the 12th?

Am I under oath?
Yes.

I would appreciate it if you
would stop asking that question.

Is Mr. Young the one that
you pulled over on the 12th?

Uh...

He was, uh, driving
a, uh, pickup truck

With a plate that was stolen
off a dump truck in waco.

So I-I busted him...For
drivin'...With stolen plates.



No further questions,
your honor.

Detective, how exactly
did you get the information

That the plates were stolen
off of a dump truck in waco?

A-am I
still under oath?

You are still under oath, yes.

I didn't know
if we had to do it again.

Isn't it true
that you used, shall we say,

Unconventional methods
to obtain this information?

We have subpoenaed
a surveillance video

Of you questioning
Mr. Young's business partner.

But maybe you could save us all
some time, Detective,

And just tell us what happened.

What? What?!

You know what this is,
you son of a bitch?!

What?
It's a bomb.

You've got 30 seconds

To tell me what you know
about Wayne Young's truck,

Or you're gonna lose everything
South of your belt buckle.

It wasn't really a bomb.

You just -- you take the back
off a transistor radio

And it looks kind of, you know,

Bomb-ish.

It was kind of like

A "no blood, no foul"
kind of thing.

"no blood, no foul"

Is hardly legal doctrine,
Detective.

Even claiming to possess a bomb
is a clear physical threat,

An egregious violation
of due process.

I think
your shirt is egregious.

Your honor,
we move for a dismissal.

Look, Liz,
I don't know what to say here.

He is your partner, Jack.

And I fail to see

How you could allow him
to leave out

The bomb-down-the-pants
part of his story!

Wh-- I didn't know.

Are you asking me to predict
the behavior of a man

Who uses his service revolver
to open a mayonnaise jar?

That's not good enough, Jack.

We've been trying to take down
Wayne Young for years.

L-liz, I --

Jack, what are you gonna say?

I need to be alone.

You want a chip?

No, I don't want
a chip, Dan.

You sure?
They're barbecue.

I think the --
the dust they put on it

Makes you feel better.

You blew the case,
Dan --

Not just our case,

The one that I spent a week
filing the paperwork for,

But the state's case.

You mean
your ex-girlfriend's case.

Don't worry.
We'll get him next time.

No. There isn't going to be
a next time, Dan.

They're shutting down
the investigation.

That means
no more department resources.

Department resources?

Back in the day,

We didn't need
department resources.

Frank and me would hit the street!
And what?

Fight crime
with pointed sticks and rocks?

You need resources
to run an investigation.

Tell you what.

I'll take him down
with the cash in my pocket --

Three dollars...

And...

52 cents.

Good luck with that.

You watch.

Wayne will be back in jail

Before the ink
on his release papers is dry.

Y'all have a nice day, now.

See you in hell.

There he is.

Thought you might be
missing this.

Damn right.

Hey, you got
any of that cigarette gum?

I ain't been thinkin' straight

Since I gave up cancer sticks.

There we go.

All right,
we got to run a couple errands.

First, I got to
pick me up a shotgun.

Y-you got this all wrong!

You're misunderstanding
the situation!

Yeah? 'cause I think
the situation's real clear.

Some cop put a transistor radio
down your pants,

And you rolled over
on me, paco.

As soon as he did that,

I knew that anything I said was
gonna get thrown out of court.

I-it w-was like a strategy...
To get you out of jail!

Please! Wait!
Just listen to me!

I got a deal goin' --
w-while you were in the joint.

It's a deal for both of us.

What kind of deal?

It's a brick of "h."

It's straight
out of South America.

I brought it in
on one of our trucks.

I got a buyer lined up
and everything.

And that's just the start.

If this works,
we bring in more bricks.

Wayne, we're so close on this!

You meet the guy,
we make delivery.

What about the cops?

T-they can't come pick you up
the day after you get out!

The cops aren't
gonna be doing anything!

I'm telling you, man --
we're gonna be getting rich

While the cops are
sitting around eating donuts!

Aah!

Hard day?

Yeah.

Is it a girl, or is it work?

Well, it's...
It's both, actually.

My ex-girlfriend hates me,

And my partner at work
might be...

Mildly insane.

Well, usually
the answer to girl trouble

Is to do something
mildly insane.

Put your problems together.
Maybe you've got something.

All right, Detective Bailey.

You're gonna need
that second donut.

Hello.

Hey, Dan.

Hey. What's up?

I want to know
if you're really serious

About taking Wayne down,

Aside from
the whole $3.52 thing.

Hell, yeah. Why?

I'm gonna go talk with Liz
in the morning about it.

Uh, yeah, yeah. That's a good idea.
You go for it.

Are you okay?
You sound winded.

I'm -- I'm joggin'.

I got to call you back.

Freeze!

Okay! Okay.

Freeze!

I'm froze!

I'm froze! Look.
I'm not moving, okay?

Man...Why you
got to hassle me?

Julius...

The relationship between
a Detective and a snitch

Is a sacred bond.

And when you
don't return my calls,

You make me chase you
out of parking garages,

You violate that sacred bond.

Listen -- I got like three
warrants out for my arrest.

Calling back cops is not really
on my to-do list.

That's what I want
to talk to you about.

How would you feel
if all those warrants went away?

Wait --
are you serious?

Like, "went away," like,

"Julius, you don't have to
go to prison" went away?

Uh, because
that sounds appealing to me.

"went away," like,
"you put an ankle bracelet on

And you're on probation"
go away.

I'm your man.
Let's lay it on me.

I need to know
about a guy named Wayne Young.

I know him.
I know Wayne Young.

Oh, I don't
know him, know him,

But I do know people
that know him.

If I could just--
emm, can I put my hands --

What do you want?

I just want to get some paper
and a pen and write down --

Do it. Do it.
Do it. Do it.

Okay -- Wayne Young.

He got a place,
uh, down on oakwood, okay?

And that's it right there.

That make us good?

We put him in jail...

We're good.

Okay.

Ca-- do I have to be still?
Or can I move?

'cause I want to hug you
right now.

You can hug me.

I can hug you?
Sure.

All right.

Thank you.
Thank you so much, man.

I'm not gonna let you down.
Weird. Weird. Feels weird.

Oh, okay. All right.
You smell like a...

Like a man.

Okay.
Okay.

Walk away.
Okay.

What can I do for you, Jack?

I-I-I just came by
to apologize again

For Dan tanking your big case.

Well, since y'all are partners,

I guess
you both tanked my case...

Technically.

Yeah, listen --
about that, um...

I want to make this right.
I want to go after Wayne.

Now, I was talking
with Dan, and, uh --

After what Dan did,

You're gonna have to
catch him in the act

Committing a major felony.

That means
doing everything by the book --

Not really
your partner's strong suit.

Matter of fact, I might just
leave him at home on this one.

Don't worry about it.

Just fill me in
on the case against Wayne --

His full history,
just something

That I can go after him with.

Fine.

Provided you leave
my office immediately

So that I can
get some work done,

I will meet you
at your office at 6:00.

You having fun
reading your files,

Or you ready
to go bust this punk?

Look, I hate to blow your mind,

But in these files
are pieces of paper.

And if you read them,

They actually tell you
things about the case.

Oh, yeah?
Read this file.

Wayne's working
out of a garage in East Dallas.

Runs it through
some kind of Shell company.

Okay. It's nice.

But what do we bust him for?

Figure it out
when we get there.

No, Dan.

If we're gonna bust Wayne,

We have to do things
by the book.

Fine -- you want to do it by the
book, we'll do it by the book.

We'll go there
and do a whatchamacallit --

A "preliminary
investigation."

Yeah, that'll work.

By the way,

How did you find out
where Wayne was operating?

Am -- am I still
under oath?

This is the place.

Hello?!

Hello?

That's weird.

What do you say we go in there
and check out that truck?

W-whoa -- whoa --
maybe I wasn't clear

About the whole
"by the book" thing.

Searching a place
without a warrant --

That's not in the book, Dan.

Well, how about this?

Secondary exits
must be unlocked

During business hours.

I say, as officers of the law,

It is our duty...

To enter the premises
and cite the owner.

Hit him with a city violation?

Besides, they should know
their security is terrible.

Plus, nobody should be allowed
back here without a hard hat.

You mean like us?

Hey, it's a violation.

We should tell the owner
about it

Right after we ding him

For that improperly secured
propane tank.

Y-you know,
that's not really in the spirit

Of what I was saying, Dan.

Well, it's legal,
doesn't cost more than $3.52,

So it works for me.

See, the law
is like a woman --

She slaps you,
doesn't do any good to get mad.

It just makes it worse.

A little sweet talk,

Before you know it,
you're covered with baby oil,

Whipped cream
on your nipples --

Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I get it. I get it.

What is this place?
What are they shipping here?

There's no way
to tell, but --

Well, maybe we'd better
check out that truck,

Make sure their cargo
is properly secured.

No, wait.
Dan, wait!

I've got to call l.

Hey, Jack.
What's up?

Uh, listen --
I'm gonna be a little late

For our meeting.

Why? What's wrong?

Oh, no, no.
I-it's nothing.

It's just, um...

You sound like
a 14-year-old

Trying to hide
a girlie magazine.

Sorry, Liz.
Uh, l-listen.

C-can we meet at 6:30?
Is that okay?

That's fine.
I'll see you then.

Okay. Thanks.

Dan, what are you doing?

Dan, we can't be in here.

Why not?
Looks illegal.

What part of this
looks illegal to you, Dan?

All right? This is a truck
filled with boxes.

Yeah.
Boxes full of crime.

Oh. Okay. Well, that's
a good one for the report.

"Detective Stark
made a visual inspection

And determined that the boxes
were filled with crime."

Come on.
We're on the five-yard line.

I can feel it tinglin'
in my loins!

That's another gem
for the report.

Listen, Dan.

We are off to a great start
here, okay?

Now, if we can just determine

That this is
Young's place of business,

Then we've got
a pretty good case

For probable cause,
but not if w--

Did you hear somethin'?

Yeah, I heard that --
sounds like a door.

Start her up.
I'll get the back.

Dan, this is
an illegal search, all right?!

Now, if we get caught,
we are in serious trouble!

Your phone is ringing.

God!

I hate this.

Hello.

Hey, Detective Dan.
This is Julius, man.

How is the, uh,
parole deal coming?

Hey, I can't talk right now.

I'm in the back
of Wayne Young's truck.

W-wait --
w-what are you doing

In the back of
one of Wayne Young's trucks?

H-hello?
Dan?

It's a long story.

T-there's men
with big guns, and --

it's beepin'.
I can't hear anything.

But it's beepin'.
What does that mean?

No. No, no, no.
This cannot be happening to me.

I got to hand it to you, paco.

Looks like it's working out
real good.

Aren't you glad you didn't blow
my head off with that shotgun?

Just a little misunderstanding
between partners, right?

Yeah.

Come on.
Let's go make some money.

Oh, God. It's moving.
The truck is moving.

Oh, God, I cannot believe

I let you talk me into this.

Yeah, I can't either.

Damn!

Oh, Skeeter.
Skeeter! My man.

What the hell?!

Thank you for coming.
What's going on, man?!

I got your call.
I thought you were dying!

I am dying, Skeeter.
I'm like inches from dying.

You look okay.

Well, I'm not.

Um, you know
the parole deal that I made?

Okay, the cop
that I made the deal with

is trapped in the back
of one of Wayne Young's trucks.

What?!
I know.

There's no trucks in there!

I know, Skeeter.
That's what I'm saying.

Look, if this cop dies, man,

I'm going to jail
for like five years.

And these are very big years

In terms of
my personal growth, okay?

I mean, you know,
I got a girlfriend in Jamaica.

Maybe she moves back,
we open up a b&b someplace.

Okay, yeah,
and I'm here why?

You introduced me
to Wayne Young.

Y'all are friends, so...

No, no, no, no, no.
"friends"?

T-t-that would be
a strong word.

We're more like
colleagues, dude.

H-he takes weed up north
for me sometimes.

Okay, but you know him.
You know him better than I do.

All right, look --
Skeeter, baby,

You got to find this truck,
and you got to find it now, man.

Look, I'll give you $500.

$500?! What,
are you out of your mind?!

That guy's violent, dude!

He -- he pulled
a guy's thumbs off, man!

H-he had, like, no --
just, like, fingers left!

It was t-t-totally
disgusting, dude!

Okay. Okay.
I will give you...

My car.

Ohhhhhhh!

No, man. No!

I like this car.

Ohh!

Comes with the stereo?

Mm-hmm.
You can have the stereo.

And the rims?
You can have the rims.

You can have the stereo.
You can have the floor mats.

You can have the change
in the ashtray, Skeeter.

Just find the truck
for me, okay?!

I'm a dead man.

I'm a dead man.

All right,
I'll help find the truck.

Okay.
Thank you.

I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to yell at you.

Still don't see
why we need a whole 18-wheeler

To move one
little, ol' brick of heroin.

That's the genius of it.

They been amping up
searches at the border,

But, uh, they only do
spot-checks, see?

T-they don't check
your whole cargo.

Yeah, they might open up
1 box, you know, maybe 10,

But trust me --

they ain't gonna open up 200.

What the hell was that?

Ain't you jumpy.

It's the truck...

Backfirin'.

Sounds like
we're on a two-lane highway

In a flat, rural area.

Dan, this is Texas,
all right?

You just described
10,000 square miles.

Oh, God damn it!
Are you insane?! Stop that!

I'm trying
to put a hole in the wall

So the cellphone-wavey-thingys
can get out.

Dan, the phones aren't working

Because these walls
are made with reinforced steel.

So if you shoot at them,

The only thing you're gonna
put a hole in...Is one of us!

Okay. Fine.

Then let's get these doors open
so we can jump out.

Oh, God. Yeah.
That's a great idea.

Why don't we jump
out of a moving truck

At 75 miles per hour
and land on the asphalt.

What's wrong with that?

Physics, Dan.
It's suicide.

Not if you push off
hard enough from the truck.

It cancels out
the speed of the truck.

Look, it's like
when you're in an elevator,

And when it comes to a stop,

You jump.

I-I'll tell you what --
if you can get the door open,

Why don't you just
show me how it works, okay?

Come on.

Why are you acting
like this is such a bad thing?

We got Wayne Young
right where we want him.

Yeah.

On a two-lane highway
in a flat, rural area.

Exactly.

This is Detective Jack Bailey.

Please leave a message,
and I'll get right back to you.

Well, it has been 45 minutes.
Congratulations.

You are officially on your way
to becoming your partner.

Still waiting
on your boyfriend?

Detective Bailey's
not my boyfriend.

And unless
you want me asking my office

To make you redo
all those arrest reports

In blue ink instead of black,

I will thank you to
keep your mouth shut about that.

Oh, Jack.

Wherever you are,
I hope you are having fun.

Okay, man.
All I know is, it's down South somewhere.

How you doin'?

Thanks a lot.

Oh.

Man, what took you so long?

Man, I'm, like -- I'm, like,
freakin' out in this neighborhood.

Dude, you asked me to find out
about a criminal, all right?

Most criminals live in areas

With low median
property values...

And crime.

Can we just focus, please?

Where is the truck
with the cop in it?

West.

West.

What does -- I don't --
what does that mean?

Well, it means that I
talked to my buddy over there

And he heard
that Wayne and some other guy

Are going out West
on the interstate.

He didn't know where,
but it's definitely...Out...

You know, that way.

So I'm supposed to
just drive that way?

What's going on that way?

I'm working on details.

Oh, man, you --

All right, I-I-I guess they're
doing a deal with some guy.

"with some guy"?
Man, you're killing me.

You are absolutely
killing me, man.

Do you know anything else?

I hear that
he's kind of scary looking...

And he's from another country.

We can do the deal on thursday.

No, I'm not English.
I'm from South Africa.

Yes, there are giraffes
in South Africa.

I will see you on Thursday.

So, there's that.

And that's it?
For now.

I figure, you head West
on the interstate,

I'll call you
when I know more, man.

No. No, no, no, no, no.
You're coming with me.

What? No, no, no, no,
no, no, no.

Coming with you wasn't
part of the initial agreement.

Hey. Hey.
I'm giving you my car, man.

Okay? My car.

Do you want my car or not?

Yeah, I want the car.

Thought so.
Thank you.

Have a good night.

Man, you got weird taste
in friends, man.

Did you see his boots?
Dude got some weird boots, man.

I got him those boots!

Man, what?
You bought the dude some boots?

Yeah.

What else was I gonna do?

I mean,
w-we're partners, right?

I mean, you would have done
the same for me.

Oh, sure thing.
Sure thing.

Got any other deals
in the works?

Anything else
I should know about?

I got a few things...
Brewin'.

Oh, man.

Dan, what are you doing?

I am trying to cut
a hole with my knife

So that the cellphone-
wavey-thingys can run free,

Because of your fear
of the ricochet.

You're trying to cut a hole
in a bulletproof steel wall

With a pocket knife.

Good luck with that.

I'll finish it later.

What are you doing?

Aside from
trying not to get carsick?

I...Am investigating
Wayne Young's inventory.

Thought you said those boxes

Were filled
with scented candles.

Well, so far.

I haven't opened
all of them yet.

Are you looking
for a particular fragrance?

Let me ask you something, Dan.

What do you think
is more likely --

That Wayne Young is opening
a scented-candle shop,

Or he's trying to hide
something...

Something that a drug-sniffing
dog would be able to find.

Like I said,
these boxes are full of crime.

Yeah, well...

You mind helping me out here?

Get a little more light
on the situation.

Mm...

Mystic sunrise.

It's natural.

I love it.

Don't die on me, Dan.

Do not die on me, Dan.
Do not die on me, Dan.

Dude, will you shut up?!

I'm trying to talk
on the phone!

Okay, okay.

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

All right.
Cool, man. Thank you.

Okay. So, did you find out
where the hell we're going?

Sort of.

My buddy heard
that the deal's going down

Tomorrow morning
at 7:30

By the, uh...
The -- the --

The "lil' tradin' post
curio shop," by lubbock.

The lil' tradin' --
w-w-what?

I don't know, man.

It's like a souvenir shop
or somethin'.

Also, um...

Oh, God.

Also what? What? What?
What? What? What? What?

I found out a little bit more
about that South African guy.

I guess he's doing
some kind of big drug deal

With Wayne Young,
and I guess he...

Bought a lot of guns.

Perfect.

I'm thinkin' maybe
we should just turn around,

Go home.

Skeeter, if this cop dies,

I'm sleepin'
18 inches from a metal toilet

For the next
half-decade, okay?

Just focus on finding out
where this deal is happening.

And, Skeeter,
when we get there,

You look for the cop
with the moustache, okay?

Everybody
can shoot each other up,

But we save the moustache.

Save the moustache.
Save the moustache.

The scent of these candles
is getting to me.

What? It smells like
a mystic sunrise.

Oh, God.
I think I'm gonna puke.

Well, if you're gonna puke,
I'm gonna light more candles.

No! No! No!

Ooh, ooh!
Look at you.

I believe we have hit the...

Jackpot.

Give me that.

This is 3 kilos, at least.

It's heroin.

It's heroin.
It's -- it's high-density.

It's, uh, small grains.

It's probably, uh,
central asian.

Wow, you sure do know
a lot about that heroin...

Thank you.

That heroin
that we never would have found

If I hadn't arranged
to get us locked up together

In the back of this truck.

So, you're saying
you planned this?

I'm saying that bein' a cop
is a team sport.

It's you and me, Jack.

You know, in the old days,
we used to catch a bad guy --

We'd call all our buddies,
we'd let him go,

We'd catch him again,

Just so we could bust him
together.

Are you serious?

Yeah. We called it "catch,
release, and catch again."

Look, you got to understand
the difference

Between the good guys
and the bad guys.

Bad guys are just a bunch of
guys runnin' around with guns.

Good guys are a team of guys
runnin' around with guns.

You learn that, maybe you won't
spend the rest of your career

Working property crimes
with Dan Stark.

Thanks for the career advice.

Hey, listen, Dan...

What?

The truck is stopping.

Why the hell
we get here so damn early?

Waitin' for hours.

We had to take the side roads
just to be safe -- I told you.

And why the hell did we pick a drop
location way the hell out here?

We're totally exposed.
No, it's perfect.

This little town
is between districts.

I mean, it's at least 100 miles
to the nearest cop.

There's no way
we can get caught.

Nobody even knows we're here.

Mm-hmm.

Oh. There we go.

Oh. Shotgun? There's not
gonna be any need for that.

It's just in case.

Hey, there.

Don't worry
about the guys with the guns.

Mikkel likes to travel heavy,
just in case.

Oh, I ain't worried.

Good to see you.

Looks like we got
a little business to conduct.

Put the shotgun down.

Get on your knees.

Excuse me?

I said,
"get on your knees."

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa there, cowboy.

This ain't what we ta--

What the hell is going on?!

Sorry, Wayne.

I guess I forgot to mention

Me and mikkel
had sort of a side deal.

Yeah, man.
I got the product.

So, how 'bout this --
we do the deal,

Only...

You kill Wayne.

No more Wayne,
it's win-win.

I had a side deal,
you stupid son of a bitch!

How 'bout this --
we deliver the brick of heroin,

I take care of paco,

and all
you got to bring is a shovel.

Win-win.

Exactly.

What?

You also.
Get on your knees now.

Okay. Okay.

Uh, I think there's been
some confusion here,

In terms of the agreement.

There is no confusion.

How was the meeting?

Both are unreliable.

Best we, uh, kill them
and take their product.

Weasel son of a bitch.
I should have killed you when I had the chance.

Actually,
maybe it would be better

If you didn't
try to kill me at all.

The only reason
we're in this situation

Is because
you were gonna shoot me.

Oh, no -- the reason
we're in this situation

Is 'cause you talked to
the cops like a damn weasel!

Enough!

Let's finish this now.

Let's get the brick of heroin
and get out of here.

Open the truck.

You smell that?

Come on! Come on!

Remember --
stick to the plan.

There's only two of 'em.

We got the element of surprise.

We take 'em out
with overwhelmin' force.

Overwhelmin' force.
Got it.

Go!

What the hell?

You got a plan "b"?!

Let's go!

Shoot them!

Traitor weasel son of a bitch!

I'm not liking plan "b"!

Little early for you to visit
us, isn't it, counselor?

I heard about
the Dan Stark courtroom fiasco,

And if you're here to tell me
he's an idiot,

Let me save you a little time.

Actually, I'm not here
about that --

Not directly, anyway.

What is it?

It's about j--
it's about Detective Bailey.

Uh, we were supposed to meet

To go over some evidence
last night,

And he never showed.

Oh, he's probably
fishing Dan out

Of whatever hole
he slept in last night.

Check the steam vents
at the Larson hospital

And the urinals
at the strip club.

He usually
passes out somewhere warm.

If you don't mind my saying,
lieutenant,

I don't think
that's where he is.

I found an address
on his desk last night,

And I spent all night
tracking it down,

And it turns out that
it belongs to a trucking company

With ties to Wayne Young.

Jamie, when's the last time

Dan Stark or Jack Bailey
checked in?

Keep 'em coming!

I got enough buckshot
for all y'all!

Hey!

We had a deal!

Afternoon.

Looks like you're having a
little bit of trouble out there.

Oh, it's not as bad
as it looks.

I think we're all clear now.

Don't ever say
"all clear" again!

Let's go!

Who the hell
are those two guys?

I don't know, and I don't care.

Just kill them
and get me that brick.

Cover me in the front.

I got to call the lieutenant
and call for backup.

Lieutenant ruiz.

Yes, lieutenant!
This is Detective Bailey!

You haven't checked in
in the last six hours.

Where the hell have you been?!

It is a long story, all right?

Just -- det-- Detective Stark
and I need cover.

Send 'em code 3 --
as many squads as you can!

I'll get dispatch.
No, no, no, no, no!

We don't -- we don't need backup
from, uh, from our substation

Or -- or Dallas p.D. At all,
for that matter.

Uh...

We're at the...

The "lil' tradin' post
curio shop."

It's, uh...
It's about -- damn it --

30 minutes outside of lubbock.

All right, now,
we're under heavy fire!

That's six hours away,
Detective.

What the hell
are you doing out there?

It is a long story, all right?

Just send as many people
as you can, all right?

Hurry!
All right, I'll get dispatch.

And, Detective --
I'll want a full explanation

Of how you came to be
"under heavy fire"

At the lil' tradin' post
curio shop!

Yes! And you will get it,
lieutenant!

Aah!
I promise you that!

We are so late, man.
We are so late.

The stupid deal was supposed
to happen five minutes ago, man.

Where is this place at?

It should be right up here.

Should be?
Man, should be or is?

Man, come on.

I-it should be, dude.
It's hard to tell.

I-I-is it right here?

Yes.

No, no, no, no,
no, no, no. No. No.

It's back that way.

The road we just passed.

This is not
a safe way to drive!

You know what?
Learn to read a map.

Then you comment
on my driving.

Backup's 20 minutes away,
at least.

At the rate we're going,

We're gonna be dead in 10,
give or take a minute or two.

That sounds about right.

We got to bring the bad guys
to the backup.

If they see us
run out of here with this brick,

They're gonna follow us.

We'll meet up
with the cavalry en route.

That's a good idea, Dan.

Or it would be,

If we had any mode
of transportation at all

And we weren't getting shot at.

Way ahead of you.
Take a look!

We'll take the red one.
That a boy.

You're gonna die, it
might as well be in a hot rod!

You ready?!

I'm waiting
for you to say "go."

Let's go!

Get in the car!

Go, go, go, go,
go, go, go, go, go!

I got it! Where are the keys?!
How am I supposed to drive?!

You don't know
how to hot-wire a car?!

What the hell they teach you
at the academy?

Get out!
Aah!

Go!

Go, go, go, go!

Son of a bitch!

You! Is that your car?
Give me the keys.

You make this thing
go any faster?!

Got a small-block v-8
in this!

Yeah, I know,
but there's a reason

Why it was sitting
collecting dust

In front of a souvenir shop,
all right?

The transmission's shot!

I'm thinking maybe
we should have took the sedan.

You want some?

Dan, when did you get
a chocolate bar?

I got it back at the shop
when you were on the phone.

I-it's got almonds...

...Nougat...

It's kind of crispy.
You sure you don't want a bite?

Yeah. No.
I'm not hungry right now!

Maybe when we're finished

Fleeing for our survival,
all right?!

Son of a bitch!

I want that brick now!

I'm thinking this isn't
a very good situation anymore!

What, you don't think
I already know that?!

Get some!

Come on.

Come on!

Hang on.

Oh.

Nice!

Nice. That's exactly
what I would have done.

That's what scares me.

Nobody's movin'.

I think we're all clear.

No, I -- I told you,
don't say that!

You thought you were
gonna get away with my heroin,

You sons of bitches?!

Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

It seems to be
a flaming truck of some sort.

Quick! Go! Go!

I'll grab the horse!

Oh, no!
I dropped it!

Get down!
Get down! Get down!

You all right?
Yeah, I'm fine.

But I've been better.
Yeah.

Bastard!

Gotcha!

Oh, he's getting away
with the heroin.

Okay, we got to go
after him. Come on.

Jack.

Partner, we got
a bigger problem right here.

Put down your guns.

Where is the heroin?

We don't have it.
It's gone.

You're lying!
He's not lying.

We left it
in the middle of the road.

"packo" ran off with it.

Who are you?

Why were you
in the back of the truck?

We're police officers.

But I-I-if
you just drop your weapon,

All, right,
we can talk this out.

Cops?
You're cops?

Hey!

You harm one hair
on that man's moustache,

And I will blow your brains
all over this food stand.

Are you kidding me?

No. I'm not.

Julius!
You made it!

Of course I made it, man.
We had a deal, right?

Wait -- w-
a deal? What deal?

I'll explain later.

Can I hug you?

Yes, you can hug me.

Come on!

All right.

Here they come.
You better get out of here.

Okay. All right.
Run.

We got to go.
We got to go. We got to go.

Register your weapon!

What the hell was that?

We hugged.

I'm a hugger.

And then the other guy,
the one in the cowboy hat --

He run off over there
and he had a shotgun.

Looked like a Walnut stock,
12 gauge.

Anyway,
he runs off over there...

The freeway's
still a complete mess.

There's no sign of paco.

I talked to the unis --

They think he ran off and
caught a ride on a back road.

And the brick of heroin?

No sign of that, either.

Looks like
he got away with that, too.

He didn't leave
any friends behind,

And Wayne Young has agreed
to testify against him.

And I believe
his exact words were,

"I'm gonna drag that
little weasel to hell with me."

Well, that's helpful.

Yeah, but y-you know
what's not so helpful?

Blowing up a car

And then
getting in a major gun battle

10 counties away
from your substation.

So, next time you want
to apprehend a suspect

And it takes all this,

Maybe you could just
let me know, or something.

Well, yeah. It wasn't really
part of the plan.

It just sort of evolved.

Hm.

Well, it was
a hell of a drive out here,

And I'm gonna get
my butt chewed out

For all the overtime,

But...I'm real glad
you're okay.

You came all the way out here

'cause you were worried
about me?

No.

I drove all this way
to see Wayne Young in handcuffs.

Oh. Right.

Ah, but now that I'm here,
I do...Owe you an apology

For leaving you that voicemail
about being late

And turning into Dan.

And...I was just real upset
about my case,

And I let it get in the way
of me trusting you.

So I'm sorry for that, Jack.

Well, I stole a sports car
and torched a semi.

Can we call it even?

No.
Not even close.

We've been, uh, questioning
that South African guy.

You know they got giraffes
down there?

He's giving us
all sorts of intel

On guys
he's worked with --

Drug cases, murders...
It's like Christmas in there.

Dan, we lost a brick
of pure heroin, all right?

We can hardly call it
a victory.

I wouldn't say "lost."

What are you talking about?

Don't ever
say "all clear" again!

Cover me in the front.

I got to call the lieutenant
and call for backup.

Yes, lieutenant!
This is Detective Bailey.

It is a long story, all right?

Just -- det-- Detective Stark
and I need cover.

Send 'em code 3 --
as many squads as you can!

Hey, old timer...

Sorry about the shootout.

How much
for this, uh, doorstop?

Oh, that's five dollars.

It's a brick.

That's hand-painted,
there.

I'll give you three.

Done.

Here you go.

That's three.

How much for one of them
chocolate bars?

Them candy bars is 50 cents.

Why'd you do that?

I was hungry.

No, not the candy bar.

What made you think
of switching up the bricks?

Well, you wanted to do it
by the book, right? Yeah.

Well, I had to
"secure all evidence

Against the possibility
that it may be compromised."

You've read the book.
That's in there, right?

That it is.

So, let me
just get this clear --

Paco took off
with a hand-painted doorstop?

I'm not gonna waste your time.

I'm bringing you top product.

This is the best heroin
that money can buy.

This is easily worth $400,000.

That's wholesale.
There.

"remember the Alamo"?

Well, listen.

T-there's seems to be

A l-- just kind of
a little mixup here.

No, no, no.
No. Wait.

Wait. Wait. Please.
Please! I can explain!

Got to hand it to you, Dan.
You did it.

Wayne Young busted in 48 hours,

All for $3.50.

Actually, $3.52.

I think I lost
a couple of pennies

In that gunfight.

And all I have to do

Is convince Liz to reduce
Julius Grant's sentence

From five years in federal
prison to six months probation.

Like I said,
bein' a cop's a team sport.
