(approaching sirens)
Since when does SIU handle traffic accidents?
LEEK: Since the accident was caused by 80 rounds of ammo.
Uh-huh. How many dead guys we got?
We got five.
Five? You can get five guys in there?
Inger and I looked at this exact model.
We thought it wasn't roomy enough.
I think I can maybe get a deal for you on this one.
DOMINGUEZ: Anybody we know?
Two guys in the front used to hang in Tommy Jerome's gang.
Jammin' Tommy Jerome, Harry Babette's cousin?
Very same. CORTEZ: I thought he left town
after he and his brother had a falling out.
Oh, you mean when they tried
to blow each other's brains out? Yeah.
Maybe he came back to settle an old score.
Okay, middle of the street, middle of the day.
Tell me somebody saw somethin'.
All sorts of people
around... of course nobody saw anything.
Drive-by genocide has that effect on people, you know?
(thumping)
Did you hear that?
What?
(thumping continues)
BRIDGES: Hey, hey, hey, hey, wait a minute here!
Take him, Marie! Yeah, I'll get him.
Up you go.
Well, well, well, well, well.
Isn't he a little big to be running around
in the trunk of a car?
Looks like we do have a witness, boys.
OFFICER 1: Stay right there. Don't move.
OFFICER 2: All right, cuff him. (siren wails)
(woman sings over bluesy organ riff)
Who are the real-world Illuminati ? Find out @ saveanilluminati.com
BRIDGES: All right, Darren,
where exactly did they carjack you?
What do you mean?
What do I mean?
I mean, where were you exactly when they pulled
their guns out and said, "Hey, this is a carjacking"?
I was, uh, I was off the freeway, Taylor Street.
Yeah, well, Taylor Street's not off the freeway, Darren.
Well, I was somewhere around in there.
LEEK: Boss, you might want to check that out.
Oh, golly gee, Darren,
I see you got the heroin option with your car.
I do not know whose that is.
Uh-huh. We do.
OFFICER: Step aside, folks.
Take his shoes off.
Come over here. Jump.
Take his socks off, too.
Darren, you've either got
one vicious case of athlete's foot there
or those are needle tracks there, bubba.
I was down in Hunter's Point tryin' to purchase some product.
Okay. As long as you're telling the truth, Darren.
Now what did the guys in the car have to say?
And I'm assuming the trunk wasn't soundproof.
These guys find out I cooperated, I'm dead.
Uh, they're already dead.
Yeah, well, they might have friends.
Darren, one last time: either you talk to me
or I'm gonna take your ass down there
and you can do your strip show in front of the judge.
They were gonna go and get rid of some guy
in their own gang named Ten Speed.
Why?
They thought this Ten Speed guy was gonna set 'em up
to be taken out by a rival gang.
They were gonna knock him off first.
Huh.
Well, I guess they just didn't move fast enough.
Where'd they say this Ten Speed guy was?
Uh, the guy in the back was givin' directions.
Uh, corner of Steiner and Greenwich.
See, wasn't that easy?
Give me all that grief and tsuris.
Now have a nice time in rehab, what do you say, all right?
Hang in there, Darren.
Harve, call Ginger over at the Gang Task Force.
Who, the redhead?
Yeah, the redhead.
Have her get us the government name
on a Two-Trey gangster named, uh, Ten Speed,
and then go find him.
My gears are engaged.
Hey, Nashman, these dead guys were really packin'.
We got three Uzis, two Tech Nines,
four shotguns and four nine millimeters.
Yeah, I get the picture.
How many shooters?
From the shell casings,
I'd say three, probably four.
All right, we'll work the dead guys
and the rival gangs. You got it.
Hey, could we get some coffee first?
All this rain's making me cold.
What're you, crazy?
That's, that's the fire hydrant. I hope.
Whatever.
Didn't feel warm, did it?
What? Get out of here.
(laughs)
I'm thinking if we work this electronics gate here...
Bridges, I been looking all over for you.
How'd you find us?
Great police work.
No really, how'd you find us?
Okay, Dispatch told me.
Listen, I gotta talk to you.
Uh, Rick, we're working on a case right here.
We're kinda busy.
Well, this is important.
Oh, by all means, go, go, go, go,
go, go, go, go.
I'm, I'm going.
Go.
Okay, I gotta work a case, too.
A case?
Yeah, as Director of Police Investigations,
they mandated that I have to do at least one field case a year.
DOMINGUEZ: You can get outta that, man
Just have your mommy write you a note.
(laughs) That's good, Joe.
I like that one. All right,
I've taken the liberty of printing out this list
of all of your open cases.
What about that one?
Uh, the beauty pageant case?
Yeah.
Nah, you wouldn't be interested in that.
Besides, Evan's already on that one.
Yeah, like glue, and I'm starting it tomorrow.
All right, well good, then so am I.
Thanks a lot, Rick, but, um, I really don't need a partner.
It's a fluff case, Rick.
It would be a waste of your time.
You're better than that.
No, I'm not.
Listen, if I say I'm gonna work this case,
I'm gonna work this case.
Well, actually, that would be my decision.
You see, I am the commanding officer,
and the commanding officer picks the cases.
Um, and frankly, (chuckles)
I've got some concerns about whether or not you're qualified
for this particular gig.
Well, Nash, if this is a case about a beauty pageant,
I promise you I'm qualified.
Now what is the gig?
Okay, uh, we're looking for a female con artist,
uh, who's famous for killing her marks.
Um, she's on the lam from Miami.
We got a tip that she's hiding out here in town
as a contestant for a local beauty contest.
Well, what's the problem?
Why don't you just go down there and arrest her?
Well, she's a chameleon, Rick.
She uses a lot of aliases, she changes her look all the time.
That means
we don't know what she looks like.
And we only know she goes by the name "Alex".
That's it? That's your big case?
Okay, I'm on it. End of discussion.
Oh, okay. Look, Rick, you got me convinced.
Okay.
Sign here.
Here.
And here.
That's it. It's sealed.
No take-backs.
No problem.
Uh, Rick, did I mention that this is
an undercover case?
No, you didn't.
Uh, well, it is.
And the, uh, contest is
a transgender beauty pageant
Alex is a woman posing as a man posing as a woman.
See, that way she can blackmail rich guys
who go for the third sex.
You know, when you think about it, it's pretty clever.
DOMINGUEZ: Should be very challenging.
CORTEZ: Yeah, don't worry about it. It'll be fun.
Wait, what-what the hell did you say?!
Uh, Evan will take you through the drill.
Yeah.
What?
(dialing phone)
What's up, man?
Let me hit you back.
You looking for something?
I'm looking for a guy named Ten Speed.
Do you know where I can find him?
You just found him, buddy. What do you need?
If you can pronounce it, I can procure it for you.
Dime bag, black tar.
Coming up.
That's not very hygienic, is it?
Heat it up. It'll kill the germs.
I got a better idea.
Why don't you spit out the rest
before I give you a Heimlich maneuver, all right?
Hey! Hey!
Why do they always have to run?
(tires screech)
(panting)
Need a push?
(siren wails briefly)
All right.
(gasping)
Big deal. So you got me on first time dealin'.
I'm a juvey, baby, I probably won't even serve time.
Is that right?
Well, perhaps you're not grasping
the gravity here, Ten Speed.
Five people are dead 'cause of you.
Of course, when you get your law degree,
you'll understand that the sentencing for setting up
five people to get blown away is the same
as pulling the trigger yourself, but...
It is?
(mocking): Uh, yeah, it is.
I might be able to help you if you help me.
You're gonna need help about now.
Who put you up to setting up this ambush?
There's this new brother.
Name's Obediah Crow.
He's takin' over all the neighborhoods block by block.
Said he was gonna kill me if I didn't help him.
I had to do it.
And where might we find this Obediah Crow?
Kareem Abdul Jamar.
He's the only O.G. in my clique left.
He'll know.
Jamar with an M.
So that's not the basketball player or the football player.
No, man, this guy's semi-retired.
Stays in a big house on Green and Filbert.
Brick steps, iron gate.
You can't miss it.
Okay, Ten Speed,
you might've been some help there.
So when's your birthday?
Why?
Need to get you a helmet.
Nash.
Yeah.
I got a name for you.
I cannot work like this.
I'm sorry, Ms. Dubois.
Apology not accepted, Larry.
I asked you to do a simple task and you failed me, miserably.
I only had an hour. And I was limited by
what I could find in the storage space.
Listen, listen.
Apologies are for people who cannot get the job done.
May I remind you that we're
putting on a beauty pageant here.
Not a freak show.
Wait a second, wait a second.
Is there, like, a problem here?
Yeah, there's, like, a problem with your attitude.
CHASTITY: Pardon me.
Dressing rooms?
Oh, um, honey, it's upstairs.
Go on. Upstairs.
Two girls to a room.
Right there, that's her, that's Alex.
Which one?
The blonde.
Come on, girl. Let's go, baby.
How can you tell?
Instinct, Cortez, instinct.
Hey, I want to share a dressing room with the blonde.
Let's get something straight right here, right now.
Y'all ain't coming within ten city blocks
of this pageant dressed like that.
Now, this pageant is very important
to the public relations and-and positive image of my community.
It's bad enough we got a sociopathic murderer
trying to ruin everything.
I can't have y'all up in here
downgrading the competition, dressed like some
trailer park floozy. Look at you.
(chuckles) And you,
looking like Sasquatch wife on bingo night.
No! (laughs)
You better check it, because it's not gonna happen.
So y'all better figure out something else.
What about our investigation?
Okay. All right.
Ladies, let's go.
We're going shopping.
(doorbell rings)
(somber organ music playing)
Catchy tune... where have I heard that before?
Church?
No. Graceland.
Ah.
Hey. Hey, Tommy Jerome from Doublerock, right?
How you been, bubba?
Ah, ah, ah, ah. We been looking for you.
Come on now. Hey, listen,
I'm totally clean, man, completely legit.
Yeah, sure you are.
And I'm Mother Teresa.
Nice place you got here, Tommy.
What'd it set you back, a couple mil?
I pay taxes now.
I'm in the music business.
Really?
What kind of music? Gospel.
And my name ain't Tommy anymore.
I converted to Islam.
My name is Kareem Abdul Jamar.
(chuckles)
Well, uh, we've been looking for you, uh, Kareem.
You know these guys?
I can't help you.
I'm not part of that world anymore.
Come on, Tommy, who would do this?
I don't know.
I retired from that gang.
Come on, Tommy.
You were the only O.G. not in that car.
You know, the same car that was on it's way
to cap Ten Speed and your rivals.
That would make you
unfinished business, Tommy.
It's Kareem.
Hey, baby.
So who's the company?
Yeah, baby. Oh, just some salesmen.
Why don't you go ahead inside.
Mm! Oh, la-la.
Listen, thanks for the warning,
but I'm not getting involved.
All right, just tell me where I can find Obediah Crow,
and we'll leave you alone.
Never heard of him.
(scoffs)
Some things never change, huh?
You're still an incredibly lousy liar, Tommy.
It's Kareem!
And I got nothing to say.
So unless you're gonna arrest me, leave.
Can't argue with that.
Come on, Joe.
All we can do is ask.
Still a free country.
Hey, we'll see you, Tommy.
It's Kareem!
(chuckles)
What the hell was up with that?
I thought you were gonna squeeze him like a grape.
Then all I get is raisins.
I want a little more juice out of our old buddy.
San Francisco.
Number for Devon Williams.
(chuckles): Yeah.
Well, here we are, Devon.
I can see that we're here.
I just don't know where in the hell here is.
And just what the hell am I doing here, anyway?
We'll be right back.
DOMINGUEZ: Uh, yeah, what he said.
Just chill.
That was about the longest drive of my life.
No, no, no.
The drive back is going to be the longest drive of your life.
I don't think we should do this.
(doorbell rings) We've got to believe
that it's for his own good.
I'm not worried about him,
I'm worried about us.
Oh, this is harassment.
I'm calling Johnny Cochran.
Hey, wait, wait, wait. Come here.
You just tell me where I can find Obediah Crow,
and I'm out of your face, brother.
Oh, my God, you brought her.
BRIDGES: Devon?
Oh, well, you know what?
I remembered that y'all had some unfinished business,
so we're just trying to do our part and help you resolve it.
No need to thank us.
CLARISSA: Kareem!
Oops. This is inhumane.
We could go in the house. You want to go in the house?
Then you could shut the door. KAREEM: No, no.
And get her out of here. WOMAN: Who is it, hon?
It's the mailman, baby.
Get her out of here!
Ah, what do you say? Come on, let's go.
Obediah Crow.
I told you I don't know.
Tommy!
BRIDGES: Oops.
Is that Tommy?
Baby, Devon, you know, I was meaning to call you.
What, for the last 18 months?!
You live here?!
I can explain, baby. You know I was...
You want to give me the damn house tour, huh?!
Hold on now, baby. Huh?
You left my ass in Oakland
while you're living up here in Pacific Heights?!
Hold on, baby. High off the damn hog!
KAREEM: Baby, what...?
DEVON: What the hell?!
I been busting my ass...!
(glass shatters) You may have been right.
Ooh, better get away from the door.
(shouting continues)
All right, how long do you think we should give 'em?
He'll be dead in five minutes.
Okay, three and a half.
How you doing back there?
You wreck my crib, screw up my life,
extort my ass to go along with y'all!
Rodney King wasn't treated this badly!
Man, I want my lawyer!
And I'm not helping you two dudes!
Have you been eating paint chips?
What's the matter with you?
Don't go dumb on me.
This car has reverse, and I'm not afraid to use it.
Besides, we're doing this for you.
Don't insult my intelligence.
Hell hath no fury like two women scorned.
My ass is grass.
And y'all gonna have to put me in a witness protection program!
We can discuss that.
Just as soon as you decide to help us.
Where do we find Obediah?
Man, I don't know.
I'm out of that now. I told you!
Well, then how do you explain the fact that
every Tuesday and Thursday, you have lunch...
W-wait, you used to have lunch with your old homeys.
Man, I'm a consultant.
Since when is that against the law?
Give me the dope on Obediah!
Man, I don't know where he is!
But I'll take you to his boss.
Dude's name is Bruce Sutcliffe.
Of the Sutcliffe mining family?
I think he's the cousin.
Uh, mucho dinero.
Uh, uh, wait a minute.
You're saying that Bruce Sutcliffe
is in the drug business?
KAREEM: It's cash heavy.
Margins are high, overhead is minimal,
and let's not even talk about the tax benefits.
All right, we'll check it out.
In the meantime, you're gonna be on ice for a while, bubba.
At a hotel?
That's right. Cool.
Now we talking. Where?
Uh, well, the department has a deal with a ValueMart.
The dump by the airport?
What about the Prescott, the Parc 55, man?
The ValueMart is a mini-suites hotel.
It's a very nice place.
It's a roach motel, man.
They don't even have room service.
All they got is a coffeepot and a bathroom.
Bubba, I am thinking that it's a hell of a lot better
than that hotel you're running over there
in Pacific Heights right now.
(chuckles)
You'll hear from my lawyer about this, I swear to God.
(dance music playing)
SIMONE: Move it, girls.
LEEK: Sorry, after you, ladies.
Why do we have to go outside like this?
Oh, Betty.
Child, I have 24 hours to make a woman out of you.
Don't make my job any harder, okay?
If I have to be a B name, I don't want it to be Betty.
Why don't you call me Brittany.
Oh, please.
Leek, what are you doing here?
SIU pocket man rule.
You need a backup, so I'm gonna be
enjoying the spectacle from the audience.
Whoa, whoa!
Thank you.
Simone, does this lip color go with my outfit?
Oh, Elissa.
Doll-face, you are flawless.
Two strong drinks, I might put a move on you.
Harvey!
Ow. See, what'd I tell you
about them shoes, girl?
They are the only ones that match my outfit.
Okay, fine.
I've only been doing drag since grade school.
You know what's best.
Oh, God, they're staring at us.
SIMONE: Finally, you're getting the picture.
Hey, baby, welcome to
the universal runway of life.
Shut up.
Harvey.
Hi.
Hello.
(exhales sharply)
You got a, got a minute?
I guess so.
Ooh, scintillating.
Easy, Simone.
Put a sock in it.
Uh, listen, I'll catch up with you guys...
Uh, girls, later, okay?
Yeah.
Who's that?
It's his O.G.
His old girlfriend.
You're kidding!
Yeah, Harve busted her once,
and they hung out for a little while after she got out of jail.
Harve got a piece of that?
Is that lip gloss or drool?
You never returned my calls.
I know.
I, uh...
How's that TV movie coming?
It fell through.
The network decided it was too controversial.
Couldn't see how to make
an advocate of marijuana sympathetic.
They should've called me.
You weren't returning calls.
Remember?
Ouch.
Yeah.
I'm late for work.
I got to go.
I'll see ya.
Okay, girls,
we're all gonna move forward one at a time.
Walk to the center of the stage, ladylike.
Hit your mark.
Remember,
look at the judges with a little sparkle in your eye.
You're sweating.
Yeah, because I'm hot in this damn dress.
You're gonna smear your make up.
Here.
I'm okay, I'm okay.
Would you just... Don't stand so close, please.
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
let's meet some of our contestants.
I'm Candy from Las Vegas, Nevada.
And all the boys say I'm really sweet.
I'm Pacifica Ocean.
Dive right in.
The surf is up.
That's you, Britney.
Go. No, you go.
You go.
Go.
My name is Elissa.
I'm from Chicago, the Windy City.
Sometimes it's very difficult to keep my skirt down.
Thank you.
Hi.
I'm Café Au Lait from Jamaica.
Add two sugars
and stir.
Hi. I'm Chastity from New Orleans, Louisiana.
And let's just say names can be deceiving.
Okay, uh, who's next?
I can't do this.
Uh, Brittany. If I can do it, you can do it.
Okay? Just relax.
It's you, babe.
I'm...
Brittany.
Your name's Brittany.
Girls, just a pointer... Remember your names.
I'm Brittany, and... Sing out, Louise.
I'm Brittany from San Francisco and I'm really happy to be here.
Please!
Is that really the best you can do, Brittany?
Yes.
That is too bad.
I sure hope you score high on the talent competition,
because poise and grace are not your strong points.
I don't need this.
Okay, girls, take ten.
Drama queen on the loose.
What are you doing?
This is a nightmare. I can't do it.
Then quit.
No, I can't quit either.
Okay okay, just relax.
This kind of thing, it gets easier with practice, okay?
Oh, yeah sure, that's easy for you to say.
You're stealing the show.
Do you think I'm enjoying this, Bettina?
Well, yeah, why not? You make a great girl.
Oh, what beautiful legs you have, Elissa.
Oh, I get it, you're jealous, aren't you?
No, I'm not jealous.
Yes, you are.
I'm not jealous. You are so.
Look, I have pulled, plucked...
I have shaved parts of my body
I didn't even know existed until yesterday. Why?
Because, despite what you and your partners may think,
I take my police work very seriously.
Just leave me alone.
(sighs)
Hey, darling look, uh, I'm sorry I went off on you.
I can be a nasty old queen sometimes.
You just can't take it personal.
Oh, you were right.
I don't have any place in this pageant.
That is not true.
I'm not pretty like the other girls.
Of course you are.
Well, in your own way.
Thank you for saying that.
Child, you got to love yourself for who you are.
You, think I always looked this fabulous?
You think this came easy to me?
Oh, no, child.
You know little Simon was a skinny little black boy
who used to get his butt whupped
every time his mama caught him wearing her clothes.
(laughing)
I invented Simone.
I had to.
Okay, good. Thank you.
I understand what you're saying.
Look, we have a killer to catch,
I'm gonna work my way through this, but it'll take some time.
Good, good.
That's the attitude. Right.
Now come on, let's go fix your makeup.
Yeah.
Come on. Okay.
(television playing loudly)
Thanks a lot.
You guys can go now. We got it.
LEEK: Protective custody is a lot more fun
than I remember.
Well, boo, you know that girl.
I mean, she's crazy.
(television stops) Hey, man, what's up with that?
I was right in the middle of Free Willy.
It's like he's human, you know what I'm saying?
Get off the phone.
Nobody's supposed to know you're here.
I'll call you back. I love you.
You look tense, man.
Oh, Tommy, you ate and drank everything out of the mini-bar?
He left us smoked almonds.
Hey those things are too salty.
I gotta watch my sodium, you know?
You had food delivered here?
Nobody is supposed to know you're here.
Stop raising your voice to me.
DOMINGUEZ: Get your clothes on, we're taking a ride.
Where? We got a line on Obediah Crow,
and you're gonna help us find him. No.
Okay.
Harvey! Get down!
(automatic weapons firing)
We got to get 'em in a crossfire.
(firing continues)
(firing stops)
You think that was all of 'em?
No, I think that's all of 'em.
What do you say, Tommy?
You ready to help us find Obediah now?
Damn skippy. Come on, man, what're we waiting for?
For you to put your pants on. Let's go.
Nice ride.
You have me at a disadvantage.
Oh, beg your pardon.
Inspector Nash Bridges.
Am I parked in a tow-away zone?
Uh, I don't know, are you?
If I'm not,
I suggest you move your car before something happens to it,
Bruce Sutcliffe.
(chuckles)
You know, I'm thinking maybe we got off on the wrong foot.
So why don't you take yours out of your mouth
and we'll start over.
I like your car.
Well, thank you.
How'd you like to sell it?
It's not for sale.
You haven't heard my price.
See, that's the beauty of it. I don't need to hear
your price when it's not for sale. (whistles)
I'll give you $400,000...
cash.
It's not for sale.
You just turned down
a very, lucrative deal.
Here's what I want to know.
I'd like to know what's a guy like you,
and your family's money, doing in the drug business?
Yeah, that's right.
Do you have a hard time living up to granddaddy's expectations
or do you just like pretending to be a bad guy?
If you have any further questions,
you can direct them to my attorney.
Actually right now I'm talking to you, bubba.
And you better listen up.
'Cause if you want to play in the street,
you're gonna get your ass run over...
By me.
Mister...
Bruce T. Sutcliffe,
vice president, sales, mining and manufacturing.
Hmm, is that a good job?
This conversation's over.
You're right about that.
Now you got your warning, your first and your last.
(sniffs)
Mm, don't you smell good enough to eat.
Is that actual cleavage I'm seeing there?
Yes, it is.
At least I'm learning all the secrets
on how to take this stuff off.
That's the attitude.
You clowns making any progress on this case?
Yeah, we're putting together a suspect list
right now as we speak.
If Alex is here, we're going to find her. Good.
So, what's going on, with Anna?
Anna who?
Anna the love of your life,
the one that you're, you're mad about,
but are too afraid to admit it,
that one.
You gonna see her again or what?
No, I mean what's the point, man. I moved on.
What do you mean you moved on?
You mean you're gonna let your pride get in the way
of you possibly being happy, right?
That, that's what you're saying.
It's cheaper.
Besides, what makes you think that Anna would make me happy?
I don't know, darling, but you can call it woman's intuition.
Got to go. Got to get back to work.
Ew.
♪ ♪
Are you working, Harvey?
No. Not really.
What're you doing then? Huh?
Stalking me?
Anna.
Anna, wait, wait.
Anna, Anna.
Come on, look, look, look.
What? What, do you want?
I-I-I don't know.
I don't, really. I don't know. I...
Let me know when you figure it out.
(sighs)
Hey, now listen.
Have you two made any progress?
I'm sort of getting the walk down,
but I'm not sure what to do with my hands.
Progress with the case, sweetheart.
Yes, yes, we are.
We are?
Yeah.
I know who the killer is.
Who?
Chastity.
Do tell.
Yes, yes, do tell.
Well, I mean I'm sharing a dressing room with her.
It's obvious, it's so obvious.
So what're you gonna do now?
Get her to drop trou.
No, no, that's a civil rights violation.
We don't want to lose the bust
because, you know, unlawful search and seizure.
Right, right, so what do we do?
I'm, willing to make the proper sacrifices in the line of duty.
Which, means what exactly?
So.
You have a little secret.
Don't we all?
No, no, I think you have a little secret
and I want you to know that if you did,
I would be the perfect person to share it with,
if you catch my drift.
Hmm, this is all really mysterious.
Play truth or dare?
One of my favorite games.
Did you ever see the Madonna movie?
Only about a million times.
Why don't I go first.
Okay. Truth.
(sighs)
You're a woman, aren't you?
I'm as real as it gets.
My turn... truth...
or dare?
Truth.
Are you coming on to me?
Could be.
Isn't that a little... weird?
Make no mistake about it, beautiful,
I may dress like a woman, but underneath this dress...
I'm all man.
Prove it.
(whispers): I dare you.
(Bettina screams)
Okay, guys, that's it for me.
See you.
What now?
I figured it out.

(siren blares)
There he is, the one with the ball.
Right there, right there!
COP (over speaker): SFPD. Stop what you're doing.
Get up against the fence.
Yo, Obediah Crow, that's right, baby!
Right there.
Nash Bridges, SFPD.
(indistinct talking)
I need your help. With what?
Rid the city of a major bad guy.
You're smoked, Tommy, you hear me?
Smoked, just like the rest of your crew.
DOMINGUEZ: Hey, will you guys shut up, man?
I'm trying to make a shot here.
NASH: All right, that's enough. Now then.
Damn.
I want you to give me Bruce Sutcliffe.
I don't know anybody named Sutcliffe.
Well, that's funny... He knows you.
As a matter of fact, you're on his payroll.
I got nothing to say to you, cop.
Now, what do you think the homeys over there
are gonna say when they see
that I've separated you out?
What do you mean?
Well, I don't know, maybe I'm wrong,
but, uh, maybe they won't even give it a second thought.
What's wrong with you, man?
I ain't taking your money!
This is a setup!
(chuckles): You better say it a little bit louder.
I don't think they heard you. I took nothing, man!
(sighs): You know, bub, I think you're past
the point of no return.
On the other hand, we're offering you a deal.
A deal? Yeah.
You see that guy right there?
Tommy? He can fry your ass.
So can Ten Speed.
So can a street user named Darren Yorkin.
You're done, bubba.
Now, you wanna help me, I can probably make it
go down a little easier for you.
What do you want to do?
All you got to do is give me Bruce Sutcliffe.
Want to talk it over with the homeys?
Want some time? What do you want to do?
All right.
All right. See, now, I knew we could work it out.
Better give me the money back,
'cause that could get you killed.
All right, come on.
Ah, yeah! That was too easy.
(Dominguez laughs)
Nothing but twine.
Girls, gather round.
I have a very special announcement to make.
Beauty pageants at their heart are about camaraderie.
And though I know that, by nature, you're all a bunch
of backstabbing bitches...
(laughter)
this, to me, is the most important award.
The winner of Miss Congeniality is...
Elissa Califaro!
Congratulations! Here, baby, here you go.
Give her a big round of applause. Mwah!
Now, let's take a picture. Come on.
PHOTOGRAPHER: All right, everybody, get real close together now.
Big smile.
Mwah, mwah, mwah. One more.
SIMONE: Picture. Come on.
(deep voice): Freeze! Police!
Get down! Everybody down! Don't move!
BETTINA: Alex!
(grunting)
Come on! Come on!
Give me your hand! Give it to me, Alex!
Come on! You're under arrest!
SFPD!
You got her?
You think it was such a good idea
to lock up Tom and Obediah together like that?
Give 'em a chance to work through their issues.
(phone ringing) With what, sharpened spoons?
(laughs)
Nash.
It's Harve. I'm with the SWAT guys at Sutcliffe's place.
They're ready to rock.
All right Harve, well, turn 'em loose.
We got everything we need on Sutcliffe.
Take his ass down.
Okay, Scott, we got a go.
All go.
All go. Green light, move it in.
Okay, Nash,
they're busting in now.
All right, we should be there in a couple minutes.
Police! Get down! Get down! Get down! Get down!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait!
Sutcliffe just bolted.
He's headed south...
Son of a bitch!
Sutcliffe is loose.
Put out an APB on his 'Cuda.
Already dialing.
And find out where he's headed.
He's headed somewhere; find out where.
Charlie, bring me that housekeeper.
Nash, talking to Sutcliffe's housekeeper.
He's got a place up in Novato near Marin County.
He's headed towards Marin.
She says he commutes by helicopter.
Where's he keep it?
Off Delancy Street near South Park, Warm Water Cove.
NASH: He's headed east.
DOMINGUEZ: Okay, I got it.
Next time you want to tell me first and then make the turn, okay?
All right. Sorry, bubba.
Harve, call the helo boys.
Tell 'em to have the SFPD chopper standing by.
We might need it. Yeah.
We got a chopper at Warm Water Cove.
Okay... this time of day, the fastest way to get there
is straight down here to Third. We're on our way.
(siren wailing)
(tires squeal)
Think we can catch him?
He's got limited choices on how he's gonna get there.
Especially if we cut off his options.
What's the plan?
First, get a patrol unit with tire spikes
to the intersection of 26th and Illinois.
All right, I'm on it.
Five-George-31,
we're in pursuit of the suspect.
We need a patrol unit with tire spikes
at the intersection of 26th and Illinois.
Still got that card from Sutcliffe?
Yeah. Never throw away anything...
Except for old hairbrushes.
Let me see the number.
Why don't I dial that for you.
All right, all right, dial!
(siren wailing, phone rings)
Hello?
Sutcliffe, baby!
You're about at the end of your road, aren't you?
You think you can catch me?
Oh, I think I can.
Go to hell.
Give me the radio.
Five-George-31, this is Five-George-31.
Get units to intersections, to all the intersections
between 26th and 22nd.
And deploy those tire spikes now!
(quietly): Damn!
(tires squeal)
(sirens approaching)
(phone ringing)
Yes?
Bubba, I'm thinking that, uh,
you should've stayed in the family business.
Now all you're gonna get to spend that inheritance on
is cigarettes and candy bars.
I'll get out of this.
Just watch.
(tires squeal)
Hang on, bubba.
Nash.
DOMINGUEZ: That's right, we've got him here.
Helicopter tail number: November-Five-Zero-Poppa-Echo.
Force it down anywhere.
Can't believe that son of a bitch is still alive.
Come on, rich boy, let's go.
Hey, Nashman, need a parts car?
BETTINA: Hey, Evan, I'll buy you a cup of coffee.
(groans)
Hey, Rick! Oh, Bridges,
Dominguez. How are you?
Have you seen the Chronicle? No, I haven't.
You made the Metro section.
Yeah, you got that publicity that you so richly deserve.
Let me see, let me see.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Now, now, now, Rick,
there's no such thing as bad publicity.
(laughing): You look pretty good...
I mean, you know, for a large-frame woman.
(laughs) Uh, not as good as Evan, though.
What are you saying?
NASH: Uh, page four,
Society section.
Miss Congeniality!
Ha-ha! Check it out, there's my picture
right next to Danielle Steel.
DOMINGUEZ: And that's the big time.
NASH: All right, boys and, uh, girls,
I'll see you later.
Toodle-oo.
