Okay, guys, how much further?

God, they're so good.

Okay, look.

Oh, hell no, I'm not stealing no yacht.

Oh, come on, we're just going to borrow it.

Whoa, ladies, when we told you we were with Pacific Blue, we weren't kidding.

And I bet you have a cute little badge to go with these.

Relax, you don't have to feel the boat. It's my uncle.

Oh, really?

Uh -huh.

So, if you weren't kidding about having the next three days off... We weren't.

Then dazzle us with a proposition that we cannot refuse.

Dazzle. Dazzle. We cruise over to Catalina, get lost on the backside...

that? Ignore it.

We bake in the sun, drink an ocean of my famous tequila punch... I'm sold.

Anchors away.

No? No.

No. Hello?

Chris, where the hell are you?

Hello, Sarge. Hello.

She can't do this. A man's time off is sacred.

Will you shut up and let me think? I told the girls to lay in provision.

Yeah, tequila and Pringles.

Look, if we can knock off this assignment and be back at the dock by

are in, baby.

Back at what dock?

Sarge, you can't do this to us. Time off is a constitutional right. Sorry,

Granger Batiste is in Florida and I need two officers I can trust.

Then that leaves me out. See ya. No, listen.

I need muscle on the Tommy X case.

My trial starts tomorrow.

For two months, I've been stalling on this matter so that you all can find

dumbass citizen and put him out of his misery.

We got this, Tommy. I mean, shut up.

If he saw what I did, they could put me in Q4 life.

Tommy Stokes comes to trial tomorrow.

The witness has been on ice and up the coast for the last two months.

The name is A .J. Brown.

Your mission is to retrieve A .J. and deliver to the courthouse by 10. How far

up the coast?

In Ventura County.

How did you find A .J. Brown from here?

When everybody else on the outside has been looking for him ever.

Ventura.

We got it.

So all we gotta do is fetch him, deliver him by 10 for testimony, and we're

free, right?

Don't take it so lightly, Russ.

There's a bounty on this witness, and every member of Stokes' gang is looking

collect. Well, by the time they know we've got him, it'll be too late.

Well, it better be.

A .J. Brown is the D .A.'s entire case, and without him, Tommy X walks back on

the street.

Sarge, put your faith in us.

All we need is the address.

At 6 a .m., I'll know exactly where Brown is.

You all get up there now.

And phone in for it.

Hey.

This fool does not see tomorrow.

Clear?

The sand at sea, it was all me.

Take a look around, just another day in L .A.

Oh, oh.

Man, if I had people than me.

Anybody thinks he is free?

Stop it.

What is it now?

Just another day, oh.

Man, we are cruising.

It's 7 a .m. and here comes the county line.

Yee -haw!

We pick up A .J. Brown and have him in custody by 7 .20, turn his wagon around,

drop him at the courthouse, and you, my young friend, you will be docking with

Carla by 10 .30. All right.

Hey, what's with that jacket?

What? I don't know. I just thought we were supposed to be, you know, hiding

blending in, laying low.

It's not a good look jacket.

My aunt gave it to me.

Okay. These big yacht sinks will be able to spot your body from the air.

Agent, did your aunt help you pick out this car from the impound, too?

This is the best vehicle in the yard. You got a problem with this?

No, no, no.

Actually, you know what? This car is perfect.

No self -respecting law enforcement officer would be content in a pimp

like this, right?

Right, right.

1 -2 -4 -2 -6 -C, what happened?

Ventura, let's roll.

Cruz and Granger, Santa Monica PD.

Art Lauder, county sheriffs.

Thought you'd never get here.

Really? I thought we were early.

Not early enough.

Is everything all right? The witness okay?

The witness is just fine.

As to whether or not everything's okay, you decide.

What do we have here? Hannibal Lecter?

That is the notorious A .J. Brown?

Alice Brown.

She hates that name.

I thought she was a witness, not a prisoner. I thought she was a he, not a

Well, thanks to this witness, I have been kicked, gouged, spat on, cursed

Maybe it's a generational thing. The ten years I've been on the force, I have

never had to fire my weapon.

If you two hadn't shown up on time today, oh, man, I would have.

Yeah, right, you wouldn't have had the guts, you limp, rested, thick, stalled

pal, smelling peg out.

She'll be fine with us.

Okay, now this is just standard procedure, Ms. Brown. Once we arrive

the courthouse, you'll be released.

Whoa!

Nice.

Adios, angel.

Lawyers.

Survey stop. Check. Line.

Check. Stop.

Check. Date.

Kofi 5.

Pringle. I know, they asked. Which would you like better?

I don't know. I can't make up my mind.

Okay, Bobby's got the perfect little baby face. No, but I love that.

Wait, I thought Bobby was a Latin one.

Are you sure?

Well, have you ever heard of a Chicano named Granger?

Good point.

It's not like it matters anyway.

Because by the time we're done with them, they won't know their own names

either.

ETA at court, 932.

Putting us in the marina by 1017.

Hey, do you fearless lawmen have anything to eat on board? Because I'm,

starving.

Sorry.

Listen, those pigs went and feed me this morning.

And I rub it in my face, they ate right in front of me. Big piles of pancakes

and eggs and bacon and grits. Well, sorry, we're just not authorized to

Oh, really? Well, authorize this.

If I don't get something to eat, I'm liable to pass out.

I mean, I'm feeling weak already. In fact, I think I'm going to be too weak

talk to Amy.

judge, or jury, or prosecutor.

B?

Uh... Hey, look, there's a convenience store. 30 seconds, period.

I'm afraid they're gonna have a hell of a time repairing that bathroom, Captain.

Now, that little hellion took a chunk out of the wall, kicked over the toilet.

Now, sir, I'm out of here in five and taking a long, long day off.

Yes, sir, Captain, I will.

10 -4.

Don't talk.

She's gone.

He's here all alone.

You don't mind if we ask you a couple of questions?

Do you, officer?

Jennifer, ain't it?

That's the Jack you reminded me of. Yeah, I can see that.

With a little Meg Ryan mixed in.

Okay, so I'll go with her, and you can take Carla.

Wait, wait, wait. Who decided that?

Well, it's obvious. It was just the way that we paired off, you know?

Hey, look, a ratchet man.

I've been looking for one of these.

Come on, dude, 30 seconds, remember?

Whatever.

I don't know about tearing off last night, by the way. So fine, then you

Carla?

No, I just don't like your announcing thing.

Besides, they both wanted me. But you may just be totally out of luck.

Where's the guy?

I don't know.

All right, well, you cover it.

Go.

Show it clear.

You take Jackie, I'll take Carla.

Good thing.

Hold it right there.

Easy. We're cops.

And I'm Jackie Chan.

We're not worth robbing.

Robbing? And if Tommy X sent you, assassinating a police officer gives you

death penalty.

You think because I'm black, I'm a criminal, huh?

No. You better not.

Now, what about arresting a bunch of shoplifts? What does that get me, huh?

Hey, we left a five on the counter. Yeah.

A five?

Empty your pockets, girl.

Well, I can't. That and keep my hands up.

Alex, you vixen.

Listen, we really are cops. This woman is a witness we're transporting to

Okay? I'll be glad to pay for her bill.

I hope you're not plastic, man, because you ain't got enough cash or all that.

Hey, look, it's your ratchet, man.

Pacific Blue, McNamara.

Sergeant, Deputy D .A. Terry Gray here.

Yeah, Terry, what can I do for you?

Besides, get my witness here by 10, not a damn thing.

Don't worry, it's covered. I have two of my best officers on it.

Who? Russ Granger. Wait a minute. Is that the same Russ Granger I had

in the Shields case?

He nearly cost me a slam -dunk conviction.

And Bobby Cruz. He's very, very solid.

The one who got brought up on IA charges, that's Bobby Cruz? He got

of the LAPD.

Look, sir, I know that they'll do a good job.

They better, Sergeant.

Witnesses are us.

Granger, where are you?

Passing us, bro, is a southbound prisoner at hand.

That's it?

I thought you'd be further by now. What's your ETA?

Eh, we had a minor hitch, but nothing serious. We'll make it by tenant plan.

Where are you going?

Short cut.

Oh, brother.

What? Uh, uh, never mind.

Russ, it's our collective ass if you don't make the deadline.

Otherwise, we're all going to be patrolling Kmart parking lot.

Hey, now what are you doing?

What? What?

Aw, man, look, she's getting naked.

What's going on?

Hey, uh, uh, uh, it starts to break it up.

Would you stop that? What do you think you're doing?

You're giving me horrible butt clothes.

I look like my mother's great aunt.

What if somebody like you actually saw me wearing this, huh?

No, don't stop. What do you mean, don't stop?

It's just another ploy. She's trying to miss the trough, so she doesn't have to

sink Tommy X.

Yeah? Well, this one's going to work. No, it's not. I don't care if we have to

drag her up to the witness stand in her birthday suit. That's what we're going

to do. In fact, she's probably bluffing. Yeah, right. Yeah, right.

She's lying. We're... Don't move.

Stay where you are.

Lucky jacket.

Hey.

What else could possibly go wrong?

what time is it 9 45 and we have no idea where we are i know exactly where we

are this little son of hers cost us a half an hour okay okay at least like way

too retro where'd you get those hey back at the convenience store why are you

doing this don't you want to see tommy x get put away hey it's my life that's

gonna end i mean don't you guys get it

Palmdale girl, think you're psycho drug lord for murder. I mean, how long do you

think I'm going to live with that target on my head, huh?

Look, Alice, we can protect you. Stop calling me Alice. I hate that name. Call

me anything else. Al, Ali. How about alien, you little freak? Now get in the

car. Come on.

Hey,

we really don't know much about this case.

Who did you see get killed?

My fiance, Rick Holmes.

They'd be going out since high school.

We were voted cutest couple.

So how did little Rick and Allie from Palmdale High wind up on Tommy Stokes'

radar screen?

Well, Rick liked to party.

And I think he actually got a bigger buzz from scoring from the brothers in

hood than he did the coke.

Power thing.

So let me guess.

He started dealing the fun his own habit.

We know where that goes.

Did he rip Tommy off?

Well, Tommy thought so.

One night I was over at Rick's. I was out on the balcony.

Still butt naked.

And then blew Tommy and pals.

Tommy said he owed him 20 grand. And when Rick said he didn't have it, blew

away.

Point blank.

Bam, bam, bam.

How'd you get away?

I never knew I was out there.

Jumped over the railing and split.

Naked?

Saturday night at the beach. Hardly drew a look.

And I wish I would have stayed.

Dead anyway.

Look, like I started to say before, I'm sure you're going to be protected.

Well, great. So I spend the rest of my life in Bumba, Iowa, schlepping feet at

the grain store?

I'm sorry, Alice.

Early M.

But you're going to court.

Pacific Blue, isn't that what they called it?

Yeah, but they were lying. They probably wait tables somewhere.

One way to find out.

Hi,

operator. Is there such a thing as a police department called?

Pacific Blue.

Hello. Is there a Bobby Cruz or a Russ Ranger there?

Uh, they're out in the field right now.

Could I speak to, like, a colonel or something?

Well, I'm a sergeant. Is that good enough?

This really is a cop place?

This isn't Alice Brown, is it?

Never heard of her.

Good. What can I do for you?

Well, my girlfriend and I are having an argument.

Are Bobby and Russ really cops or what?

I'm afraid so.

May I ask what you want to know?

They're supposed to go cruising with us to Catalina today.

Oh, around noon, right?

Oh, so they told you.

Not exactly.

All right, whatever.

Just tell them to be on time, would you please? You can count on me.

Strickland. Hey, Jamie, it's me, Russ.

Where the hell are you? Corey's getting very tense.

Look, we need a favor. We're running a little behind.

No. Look, we're going to get to the courthouse, just not by 10. Yeah, it's

already 10 .20, Russ.

Don't bust my chops, okay?

Can you go downtown and chill out at the DA?

We've got his witness and she will be there.

Yeah, he's going to ask me when and so will Corey. You can't tell Corey.

No way.

Look, don't be such a dweeb, Jame. Wipes at the sergeant needlessly.

What the hell were you thinking?

I swear, Winter, you pull your gun in that neighborhood again and you can

about the bangers. I'm coming after you.

Okay, maybe you might be right.

Thanks, I owe you.

Yeah, and you will pay.

All right, she's gonna cover for us. Good.

Can't this heap go any faster?

You wanna drive?

I gotta pee.

Crack with one tough jarring.

Uh -huh.

I speak those techniques of teeth to reduce interrogation.

My cousin was in the Gulf War.

Oh, yeah.

They taught him that stuff.

All right.

Yeah.

Yeah, tell me. He talked.

Got two of them. Santa Monica PD.

Getting a little valley boy and a Mexican dude in an ugly jacket. They're

driving a blood -red Caddy convertible.

What?

Come on, man. What do you think?

Good if we don't catch you.

The girl's bounty transfers to us. And double the rate.

Turn up here.

For what?

Shortcut. Get a hand up.

Shortcut? It is.

I'm telling you, I grew up in these hills.

Pacific Palisades is right over that ridge.

Yeah, well, it better be right over this ridge because we don't have any gas.

Never making it to court now.

Oh, yeah?

Take a look. Gas station incoming.

Wait a minute.

Good job, Bobby. It's the same gas station.

Nice going, genius.

Driven around in a giant circle.

You pump.

I gotta go.

Don't start paying the guy this time.

Hey.

Ever think of the games we could play with these handcuffs of yours?

Huh? Oh, come on, Ruth. I know you're a party boy.

Bobby's just dodging one.

But, uh... Turn me loose?

I'll do just about anything you ask me to.

I've always wanted to be taken advantage of in a semi -public place. Someone

might say, get off on the wrist.

I'm going to go to the bathroom.

What's going on here?

Nothing. Just telling Russ how I feel so alone.

Like, nobody's on my side, you know?

And I... I keep seeing Tommy's eyes.

And I hate coming out of them.

Oh, God, Bobby, I'm just so scared.

Bobby, please hold me.

Wait.

I'm sorry, it's hovering all over you.

Do you have a tissue?

I would love to uncuff you and take you to the bathroom.

But first you'd have to give me back my key.

Thanks.

No trouble now, right?

All right.

Nice work, Varner.

It's it! I've had it!

My friend! You shut up!

Bobby, open the trunk.

Good idea.

I predict smooth sailing from here.

Speaking of sailing, it's got to be close to 11.

We've got to call the girls. Hey, what's the number?

How about you got it? No, you have it.

Oh, man.

We've got to send someone down there to keep him from leaving. Right, someone to

plead our case. Someone to make us look heroic and sympathetic.

Short of Conard.

Monica.

I can't get a signal.

We're in a dead zone.

People.

I'd like to...

I request a 10 -minute recess to confer about a witness, Your Honor.

Only 10 minutes, Mr. Gray?

Oh, golly, why not 15?

Why not 30?

An hour?

Say, why don't we all fly down to Cabo and question the witness there?

Your Honor.

Five minutes, Mr. Gray, not an instant more.

Where is Alice Brown?

Cruz and Granger have her. They were due here an hour ago.

Even as we speak, they're racing this way. Can't you stall?

What do you think I've been doing?

The judge is about to come off the bench and use his gavel on my head.

You have to do this, Monica. Come on, we'll be eternally grateful. Grateful

enough to let me have your motorcycle for how much?

A month?

30 days.

Fine. Bobby, would you be grateful enough to swap out your stored vacation

with me?

All of them?

Okay, never mind.

Wait, wait, wait.

Okay. Cool.

Okay, well, you sure you can find the boat and... I wrote it all down.

Well, go, go, go, go.

Okay, we picked the perfect person for the job.

Oh, couldn't find a better emissary. That's right, she'll... Hey, the trunk's

open. Don't worry, I have the key.

The hot wire here was my ratchet, man.

Come

on,

buddy. A hundred bucks. That's my final offer. Sorry.

We're cops. We can just take your damn truck.

You're a little out of your jurisdiction now, aren't you, officer?

All right, just give me the damn keys, all right? Hey, hey, hey, I got

surveillance cameras picking all this up. Now, we wouldn't want a Rodney King

type of situation here, would we?

So what exactly are we looking at?

Exactly $250.

$250? Oh, yeah.

I thought you said we didn't have cash.

No. I said you didn't have cash.

Plus, $250 deposit.

That piece of junk isn't even worth $250.

Oh, I see. Now, because I'm black, I'm ripping you off. Is that it? Is that it,

fellas?

I don't need your cash. You all need my truck.

Huh?

Thank you.

I'm coming back for my deposit, man.

Always glad to help the cause of law and order.

Hey, they're 32 minutes late.

Fallback plan?

Jackie, Carla!

That's us. What's up?

I want to stop you from making a big mistake.

And that would be?

Giving up on Bobby and Russ. They want me to come here and let you know that

they've been held up. And who are you, their den mother? A fellow police

officer. You are?

Cool.

I just want you to know that they're really nice guys, and they're worth

wow, nice boat.

Come on, girl.

Just like you need a drink.

And this

is a needle in a hitch type deal.

I'm gonna find her and Dia's gonna crucify us and Corey does it first.

We will find Alice Brown.

Use the force, Luke.

I'm totally confident.

This truck is good luck.

I'm not feeling it's chasing around stuff, man.

It's just cracker land.

It's going to stand out up here.

What's up with you, man?

Trying to take us out?

I knew I should have drove.

Shut your mouth.

I see. Because I'm black, you think I'm gonna support your criminal enterprise,

huh?

No.

You're gonna support my criminal enterprise so I don't kill your ass.

I always felt that people of color should stick together.

So where the hell did they go?

That -a -way.

The girls in the caddy and the cops are in my truck, a 41 Chevy.

Better pray we catch him.

Shouldn't be too hard.

Thing won't go over 40.

I can walk faster than this.

Better relax, Russ.

Oh, great. Now stop.

Look.

The biker bar's so white.

Pink red, Russ.

Why did I pick out a red car this morning?

Because you're a genius.

Huh?

Lunch, recess.

Well, congratulations, Mr. Gray. You made it.

I assume you'd like a long break, hmm?

Well, yes, Your Honor, I would appreciate that.

Perhaps an hour and a half or two.

That's a three -day continuance so we could lunch in Paris at Tour d 'Argent.

Half an hour, we're back at 1 .30 sharp.

But, Your Honor, my witness... Another word from you, Counselor, and we eat at

our desks. Only you'll be eating under yours.

Flat on your belly with your hands tied behind your back.

No, no, I can't get you.

Because I told you. The car would be spotted in like 90 seconds.

No, please, Andy, please.

Right here.

No, not this time.

Oh, let go of me.

No, Russ, get your hands off me. I'm not going with you.

Come on.

No, it's over, Russ. Don't you understand?

Over. You're never going to hurt me again.

Or my baby.

What is she talking about?

Oh, my God, please help me. Don't let him take me away. Don't let him beat me

anymore.

Will somebody do something?

Oh, she's lying.

We're police officers.

Oh, he's my husband.

He's been beating me up ever since our honeymoon. I try to get away, but he

keeps tracking me down.

You shut up.

Look, we really are cops, okay?

SMPD. She witnessed the murder, and we gotta go take her down to testify.

That's right. Check it out.

Yeah, of course they're police officers.

That's how he's been able to get away with this for this long.

I mean, look right down at me. Look at me.

Okay, come on.

You ain't taking her nowhere.

Hey, look, we don't have time for this, okay?

So, can this tub actually leave the dog?

You bet.

Then let's take her out.

What about your pal?

Oh, we're not that close.

God, that kid, we need some rest.

Ladies, I don't think that's going to be a problem.

Hello, boy.

That'll do.

Back

off,

everyone. Do it now.

Give me the car keys.

Here, I got it. Hey!

Oh. Run!

I can dream, can't I?

Hey!

Oh, listen up!

I need the keys to this bike.

Come on.

Give me one excuse to use this.

I have gone through a lot of frustration today.

All right, now I need the keys to this bike, too.

Look, I promise you're going to get your bike back, okay?

We really are caught.

That's for, uh, Sergeant McNamara.

All right, listen.

You can ride, or I can drag you.

Hey, what are you doing?

Drop the comfort stripper down.

Pack the primer to the steel.

Lose the padding, fix the crown.

Dump the ballad, grab the wheel.

Red line, crack the volume.

Chill out. Watch the meter.

Red light.

Pull over. Rip the envelope.

Beyond the red light.

Okay.

We've got to straighten this out.

I'm going to talk and you're going to listen. Well, save your breath. If you

don't calm down, I'm going to crash this thing somewhere between here and the

courthouse. I'm not asking you for much.

I'm just asking you to testify.

Well, sorry.

Hero stirs cleanse.

All about you, isn't it?

Um, yeah. It is my life that's at stake.

Oh, yeah? What about Rick's life?

Rick is dead.

And convicting Tommy is not going to bring him back.

Yeah, but it might save the next fiancé. Or husband.

Or daughter.

How are you going to feel, though, when Tommy walked because you wouldn't stand

up?

Yeah, well, I'll manage.

No, you won't.

We deal with guilt like this every day.

If you loved Rick, you'd put his killer away.

Well, I want to, but I'm just so scared.

I mean, every time my phone rings, every knock at my door, I know it's the right

thing. I just can't make myself do it.

I just get so panicked.

Allie.

Allie.

We'll help you.

Everything's going to be fine. You have my word.

Mine too.

I really did love Rick, you know.

All right, okay, I'll do it.

But if they kill me, so help me, I'm going to haunt you both.

Thank you.

Hallelujah.

That's there.

Throw those buffers.

Throw those buffers to me.

And Cal, cast off that stern line.

And Cal, when you're done, get your own stern over here to Admiral Harper for

further orders.

I feel bad about leaving the guys.

Guys? What guys?

This is Nightmare. Who are you?

Quentin LaFontaine. I'm calling to get our hogs back.

Why are you calling me?

Because it was two of yours that borrowed them at gunpoint.

Let me guess.

Two good -looking guys?

One Anglo, one Latino?

Yep. That's them.

I just kept thinking they would show up any minute. That's why I didn't tell

you. I can't believe you covered for them, Strickland.

This isn't high school.

That defendant in there is going to walk without her testimony.

I know.

See it come and hear the rumble.

Smell the metal melt down.

Rip some new horizon.

Feel the impact.

Shake the ground.

Redline. Grab the volume.

Redline. Watch the meter.

Redline. Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Beyond the redline.

Let me get strapped.

Why the hell are we stopping?

Look, I'll draw him to me and just make sure Allie gets to the trial.

I object, Your Honor.

No, no. I object.

Strenuously, viscerally, and with a sense of primordial outrage, I object.

Approach.

At long last, it's over, Mr. Gray.

Your attempts to waste this court's time are finally at an end.

And now for your retribution, you must be made to suffer the way I have

today.

I must tell you, Mr. Gray, when I'm talking suffering, I'm thinking

Old Testament.

So in this... But, Your Honor, our witness will be... Quiet! You're in

So when this trial finally lurches to its merciful conclusion, I'll see that

this court shows equal contempt for you.

I'm talking serious prison, Mr. Gray, with you safe in the arms of all those

people you've already put there.

Come on, Alice.

We're going to court.

If that two weeks of exquisite torment doesn't teach you a lesson in due

process, we'll think of something else that does.

Here we go. Say the blessed words, Mr. Gray.

The words of the land this time.

Come on, come on.

Say, the prosecution rests.

Because if you don't, I will.

All right, Your Honor.

The state... The

state calls

Alice Brown to the stand, Your Honor.

You okay?

Look at him.

I'm just going to nail that cocky bastard.

Take care of this for me, okay, buddy? Thanks.

Ah, what the hell? They were probably no fun anyway.

I mean, I doubt anything actually would have happened. Do you?

I know.

I know.

You got a lot of guts. Hey, it was worth it seeing Tommy's face when Judge Stein

read that verdict.

You okay with the witness protection thing?

Are you kidding? I've always wanted to go to New Orleans.

But, you know, even if I had to feed hogs at dawn 200 miles away from the

nearest mall, it'd still be worth it.

Thanks, guys.

I always fantasize about riding my bike up those steps anyway.

Be good.

Oh, don't worry, guys.

I've told each other girls can wait for you. It's me, Monica.

Show some trust.

I don't blame you guys for being bitter. You missed one hell of a party.

I thought I'd seen it all, but those two girls, they were wild.

How wild?

That you little boys will never experience.

But I guess I could tell you about it.

Don't try to talk it down.

Why, everyone went to my town.

The fantasy,

it works for me.

Take a look around.

Just another day in LA.

Anybody sees more than me.

Anybody thinks he is free.

Someday.

What is it now?

Just another day.
