This is 1PB5 requesting backup. Touchdown heading north on Speedway. I'm

danger.

This is 1PB5 responding. I'm right around the corner. I can't make the

connection. I cannot connect the dots.

I don't feel what's bending.

I'm having nothing. You don't. go outside the line in fact you

don't go outside the ride

Turn around! Get down!

Okay!

Okay, you got me.

Keep your hands up.

Take the weapon!

Turn around. Turn around!

Ma 'am, it's okay. Everything's going to be all right. I doubt it.

Mom?

Beware the simple things, Cory.

Don't try to talk it down.

Why everyone bags on my town.

Stand at me.

It was for me.

Take a look around.

Just another day in LA.

People than me.

Anybody.

Makes me is free.

Someday.

One minute down.

Just another day. Oh.

I can't even imagine growing up without my mother.

No wonder you dream about her so much.

You know what I miss her most?

You're going to think this is funny, but it's in the supermarket.

I used to have so much fun shopping.

I can't even go down an aisle without hearing her voice.

Is she the one telling you to bring home Haagen -Dazs and potatoes?

No, that's a little voice on my stomach.

This dream you had last night, have you had it before?

No, they're all different, but she's always there, watching over me.

She shot you, Corey.

Yeah, well, it's just her way of getting my attention.

Her way?

It was your dream.

Did I say something?

Do you believe in guardian angels?

You mean like Patrick Swayze and ghosts?

I was 10 when my mother died.

And ever since, she's been there for me.

Believe it or not.

I believe in luck. I believe in fate. I believe we influence our destinies by

the actions we take.

I believe in guardian angels, Chris.

So what do you think she was trying to tell you? I mean, what is the simple

thing?

I don't know.

But the answer's out there if I just keep looking for it.

That's good.

Hey, guys.

You two don't mind moving, do you?

at my table.

You want me to get Hopsang out of the kitchen to translate?

Come on, move.

You move.

We eat here.

Wait a minute. You're the guys that are walking up and down cleaning up the

boardwalk. We keep an eye out for trouble.

I keep an eye out if you walk on out of here.

Come on, now, before I get mad.

So, you want to start something, do you?

Don't be cruel, but you all should go, Hound Dog.

Love be tender, I'll return the sender.

Get this guy 20 and get him out of here, huh?

Nothing at all.

Shoot my brother.

And don't bully people.

Take care of that gun.

Angels in the outfield. Heaven can wait. Michael.

Highway to heaven.

Touched by an angel.

It's a wonderful life.

Charlie's Angels.

The point is, why would people make these things if we didn't believe?

Any black and white or Pacific blue units in the vicinity, report of a brawl

the Ocean Terrace Cafe.

Be on the lookout for twin Korean brothers, last seen heading north on

Again? Who are these guys?

This is 1PB5 and 7 responding.

I just want to know if Cory McNamara can't... No, I will not hold.

Damn it.

Hey, hey, easy, Chris, huh? Doctor said no broken bones. She's going to be okay.

It's a miracle, not even stitches.

Yeah, a miracle.

As I said on the phone, Mr. DeVille, we don't have any information.

And even if we did, I couldn't give it to you anyway.

When this story hits the Times, every cheap suit in Hollywood is going to be

down here chasing these Korean twins.

Now, you help me out, Lieutenant.

It'll keep the riffraff away.

Not to mention a finder's fee.

Bribes are illegal, Mr. DeVille. I could care less if your criminals are in your

film or not.

Criminals?

Read the article.

Every clown these guys fight deserves it.

I got an officer in a hospital bed from chasing them. Did she deserve it?

The only clown I see is standing here right in front of me. Now, why don't you

just move your circus down the road?

Thank you.

These flyers are everywhere, Lieutenant, but so far none of the victims want to

press charges.

In any of the incidents?

These twins are picking on Scum, and Scum did not file charges with the

It's a law of physics. Great.

Vigilante justice, Bruce Lee style.

All right, Chris, I want you to ride with me.

I want Heckle and Jekyll in my jail before someone else gets seriously hurt.

Hello, officers.

Marty Rosen, Empire Talent Agency.

I was wondering if you guys could help me out.

Let me guess, you're looking for the Boardwalk Twins.

They great or what?

You know guys like that can catapult an agent from here to here overnight?

Just missed them.

Oh, yeah. They flew out of here, hit the ground running.

Which way?

Left. Right. They split up?

Bad career move.

Thanks, guys.

Who are these twins?

Oh, really?

Well, that's why I pay you a lot of money. To find out.

They're nobody.

Everybody is somebody, baby. Everybody works for somebody.

Who do you work for, Roger?

Me.

So be a smart boss and don't worry.

I got two million dollars in counterfeit currency getting ready to hit this

beach like a tsunami.

These karate kids are not here by accident.

And, um, what if they're not here to mess with your deal?

Then I killed two guys for no reason.

Better safe than sorry.

No.

Get a saw. We're cutting it off. With or without anesthesia?

Well, what do you got?

Beer. Wine.

Vodka.

Surprise!

You guys.

All right.

Hey, Corey, don't relax. You're taking care of everything.

Put it right there. You're going to be okay, huh?

Relax. We got some wine for you.

Pizza. A trashy romance novel.

Remote control.

Listen, you just rest, rehab that knee, and get back to work as soon as you can.

The doctor said maximum 10 days.

Cake. Paid vacation.

Is there anything else you need?

You know, my knee's starting to throb. I think this pill is too high. Not a

problem. Ah!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh! Oh!

Ed, I'll help if you bang on the mat.

Thanks, I'm good.

Oh, you're right.

It helps.

I'm Florence.

Cory. What are you in for?

Spraying cruciate leavening. You?

I got hit by a van on my bike.

Great muscle definition.

Training right?

No, it's my job.

I'm a police officer.

A bike cop.

You?

Just on my feet a lot.

I've been through this twice before.

Oh, not me. This is my first time in rehab.

Yeah? Yeah. Well, you're in the right place.

Bob's the best.

He's trained some Olympic athletes.

Wow.

We have better insurance than I thought.

Every time they call us for these twins, they're already gone.

You guys ever run in with a couple of Koreans?

Yeah, we're just fooling around, man.

Shoving some friends and wham, he broke my stick with a kick.

Where are they?

Don't tell me I missed them. What are you doing here, Rosen?

Police scanner.

Do not follow us around.

Hey, we're on the same team here.

You guys want the twins off the beach, so do I.

Come on, guys, help me out here.

Run this by me again, Romero, because I swear I must have blacked out.

I thought I heard the word renegotiate.

Is that what I heard?

You want my dealers to launder these bogus presidents?

Yeah. No, we had a deal, Romero.

25%. Fiente Cinco.

Yeah, well, that was before the...

Chopped sake twins started cleaning up the beaches on their own.

Now my drug dealers can't turn a corner without bumping into a cop.

It's not going to be a problem.

I'm afraid it already is.

And my crew gets busted with white powder. That's state time.

Green counterfeit.

That's federal, man.

50 -50 splitter, you can count me out.

What'd I tell you, Jillian?

These twins work for Romero.

They're vigilantes.

I saw him kick the crap out of some surfers. I'm telling you, he's using

guys to jack me for another 25%. But I'm gonna call his bluff.

Hey, Steve.

Find these twins and it's a $10 ,000 bonus.

Kill them 20. Get out of here.

Sorry I had to see that.

Sorry you had to live it.

Yeah, well, I deserve it.

Well, that's a healthy attitude.

Beware the simple things.

What could be simpler than riding my bike?

She warned me, Chris, and I missed it.

What good is a guardian angel if you don't pay attention?

How could you know, Corey? She could have meant anything.

Mom always said it takes a tragedy to make us reassess ourselves.

And you don't like what you see?

All my friends are from work.

I don't know anyone else.

I don't go anywhere. I don't do anything else. What are you talking about? You

mountain bike, you roller blade, you run.

To stay in shape to be a cop.

How pathetic is that?

Do I have any hobbies, Chris?

Do you think I'm a well -rounded person?

What is your problem? I'm my problem.

I'm not the person I thought I'd be at this point in my life.

I think you're just depressed.

Damn straight I'm depressed.

All these dreams I had growing up.

I'm not fluent in French.

I've never learned piano. I've never lived in Italy. I've never seen the

pyramids. I've never taken wildlife photos.

And you may never.

Life is choices.

You wanted to fly more than anything in the world, didn't you? And you did it.

Are you forgetting?

You wanted to be a cop more than anything.

You know who's out there shooting pictures of caribou?

The woman who wanted that more than anything.

I'd be like talking to anyone right now.

Tell you what.

I can stay at a friend's house tonight if you're alright.

Yeah.

I'll be fine.

Go ahead.

I'm sorry, ma 'am, but we're all full up. No vacancies.

Oh, please, sir. I'm so tired.

We'd have to share a bed.

Fine. But I have to go to sleep by 5 a .m.

You bet.

Yeah, I'll talk to you later.

Have a good rehab session.

Okay.

How's Corey?

Better. About to attack hobbies the way she does everything else.

She asked you where you were last night?

Uh -huh.

I told her I went to Julie's.

Well, Julie was glad to have you.

Hey.

Not half an hour ago, our Kung Fu twins beat up a couple guys trying to rob a

convenience store.

Tossed one through the window.

There must be a half a dozen news crews out there trying to catch a glimpse of

these guys in action.

It's turned into a carnival, complete with costumes.

Channel 8 calls them Avenging Angels.

Let's go out there and shake the tree, see what falls loose.

Somebody's got to know something.

Fifteen.

Sixteen.

Seventeen.

Eighteen.

Nineteen.

Twenty. Hey, you.

Hey.

Bob says you're ready for a little light jogging here.

Yeah, well, what does Bob know? He just trains the Olympians.

Yeah?

Oh, my God.

What? You're Florence Griffith Joyner.

Well, all my friends call me Fludger.

I am so sorry. I didn't recognize you before.

Oh, don't be.

I didn't recognize you either.

You know, my niece has a poster of you in her room.

Well, bring it. I'll autograph it for her.

Oh, man, it's great.

Big Aunt Corrie Brownie points.

Listen, if there's anything I can do for you... As a matter of fact, there is.

6 a .m. tomorrow.

How is Aunt Corrie?

Where are you running to?

Sockney makes her great hair with my name on it.

I'll see you then. Sure.

And then

she told me her mother was her guardian angel.

Which, of course, you don't believe.

You're right.

I don't believe it.

It's them.

I see him!

I actually see him!

I tell you something Ari, I'm gonna sign these guys if it kills me!

I'm gonna have to get back to you.

I don't know.

Well, this is pathetic.

They're not even running anymore.

Hey, Twitch.

You okay?

Normally you're good for a couple blocks.

One, I ain't done none.

Two... Rather be caught by you guys than those twins.

Actually, we're looking for those guys ourselves.

Yeah, you and everyone else.

The dark sides put a bounty on them. A bounty? Why?

They bring up publicity. Got cameras and porters in every doorway.

It's hard to make an honest sale when you're being watched.

Who's laying the bounty?

It's the connection.

Something's going down and he's totally bent.

The connection, huh?

Yeah, you didn't hear it from me.

Hey, Roger.

Word on the street says... Never believed the street's word, Lieutenant.

know that. I don't. That's why I came to ask you myself.

What's going down?

You know why they call me the Connection, Lieutenant?

Because I put people together. That's all.

And you put criminals together.

I don't judge. If bad people do bad things, that doesn't make me bad.

I'll have to take a cut of the action.

To answer your question, Lieutenant, nothing's going down.

Good. So it won't bother you if we stick close.

Back to lunch.

By the way, did you see these Korean twins?

Give me a call. I'll get them out of your hair.

Come on, Kelly.

I would not fault you.

Now and then I see your side.

Cover it well.

And I do not blame you. Want to make your sandwich, Cory?

Don't bother. I'm still running away.

All right.

I'll make your sandwich to go then.

It's not fair. Why can't I be a cop?

You can be one. I just said I didn't want you to be one.

Why not?

Grandpa's a cop. Daddy's a cop, so he's going to be a cop.

What happened when I said you could play t -ball?

I played shortstop in it, 47 at cleanup.

Yeah, but what happened to band practice?

I couldn't go. I had baseball.

And what happened to Glee Club and all your friends who don't play baseball and

dance class?

I'm a girl, Mom. I have to practice more than the boys to be the best.

Angel, being the best at something isn't worth it if it's all you have in your

life.

You are so focused, Corey. You are going to be great at anything you do.

You have to keep a balance.

I promise I will.

Being a police officer is really hard work.

If you become one, always remember it's just a job.

It's what you do with the rest of your life that's going to determine how happy

you'll be.

Daddy's home early.

I am not angry.

Now and then I see your side and the story it

tells.

And I am not gone yet. Of all the people I

adore, it's you.

How about pizza?

All in favor, say. Get out of town. I know how to negotiate with these people

they'll walk all over you.

Let me tell you something. No client of Marty Rosen gets walked on. They're

going to paint your picture on an average above Sunset Boulevard.

Wait a minute.

All right, hotshot, you're under arrest.

Police! Stay down!

Hey, relax.

I'm a police officer.

You have the right to remain silent.

Oh, man.

Fighting with cops is not the kind of publicity we need.

Not bad, girlfriend.

I'm not even in your league, Flo -Jo.

I wasn't talking about speed.

Well, I've never been much of a quitter.

So then why are you thinking of leaving the force?

Well, that's different.

It's not quitting. It's just moving on.

From what you told me, I don't think that's what your mother wants you to do.

Don't humor me about that, please.

You know, Cory,

when I was 14 years old, I was on the school bus, and I got this incredible

chill.

And at that moment, I knew...

That my grandfather had died.

Sure enough, two hours later, I got the phone call from Backy's.

I guess I just believe in a special connection between the people we love,

that's all.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to insult you.

It's just... So many times when you mention the word angel...

People freak out.

I know.

Your mom was worried about you being all or nothing, right?

Yeah, she used to beg me to practice moderation.

Well, hanging up the badge, Corey, that's the ultimate all or nothing.

I don't believe what I'm hearing.

You never meant to hurt anyone.

You never meant to hurt anyone.

First you throw a man through a window.

He was robbing a store.

Well, and stopping his crime and committing one of your own, not to

assaulting two police officers.

Do you guys really think by beating up a couple of gorillas you were going to be

in the movies?

We study American culture.

That already brings fame and opportunity.

That's a twisted deal.

Worked for Joey Buttafuoco.

He didn't have a film career.

He also didn't have a degree in drama from Seoul University.

Story checked out, Lieutenant.

Juan and Sang Lee flew over here three weeks ago from Korea.

Straight -A students, not so much as a jaywalking ticket between the two of

them.

Nonetheless, what you did was stupid, reckless, and criminal.

Assaulting people is not a game and won't be treated as such.

Take them back to a cell. They can wait for their arraignment.

How are you going to get a chance to study a criminal justice system?

It's quite refreshing for a paranoid like you, meeting without gorillas and

guns.

My gorilla's in the hospital after your twins damn near killed him.

They're not my twins, Roger.

I don't know who the hell they are. You win. 50 -50 split. But I want you to

know, I'll remember this.

Buddy, you gotta stop watching Goodfellas.

There's a million dollars for each of us.

Let it go with that, okay?

Starter kit.

100 ,000. Move it clean, you get the rest.

And this better not haunt me.

Come on.

Okay, baby, it's your turn. Find these twins.

Let's see if they won't listen to you.

Hey, Chris.

Hey, am I shipped over already?

You wish.

Palermo said I could find you here. Yeah, it's got the four of us trailing

Twitch from bookies to crack houses to check cashing joints for illegals. It's

not unusual. He's Romero's bag man.

Yeah, but here's the catch.

He's not collecting, he's giving.

We sent some of our people in afterwards.

Any transaction gives you this in change.

Bogus? Yeah, but very high quality. Hard to weed out when they plug the market.

Well, I, uh, I won't keep you. I just... I wanted to say that I know that you've

been spending a lot of time away from the apartment.

That's an easier space.

Well, that's why I'm here.

I could use your company again.

Thinking about coming back to the job?

I'm not sure yet.

It's just one of the things I want to talk to you about.

Okay.

All right, time to pick up Twitch.

See you tonight, right?

Well, actually, my understanding of the incident is that the officers did not

identify themselves before engaging these tourists in combat.

To correct the record, my officers did ID themselves before the attack.

Lieutenant, lieutenant, I'm a big friend here, okay? My company produced Officer

Down, which was a love poem to your department. However, this smells very

suspiciously like entrapment. And that borders on slander.

Thang and Kwong Lee have taken responsibility for the altercation and

The DA will decide what charges to press.

Oh, really?

Then why can't we see them? My company posted bail for their release.

Actually, just before I joined you, they left out the back.

I find what you do disgusting, DeVille. You want to hype your next circus act?

Do it somewhere else.

Yeah, well, despite what you think, stars aren't born. They are

Then why don't you have to chase them down yourself?

Well, it's like a dance. I'm leading.

Are you all right?

My nose, I think it's broke.

Okay, look, guys, can we make a deal?

Not officially.

But you cooperate with us? We'll relay that to the DA.

It can only help.

All right, it's the connections, baby. He's got Romero washing two million

through his illegal operation. They're splitting the profit.

How much have you distributed so far?

$100 ,000. The rest of the deal goes down tomorrow.

Where?

I don't know. What time?

I don't know. Then tell us everything you do know.

Man, no more butt -kicking, bro.

And tomorrow, we start returning calls and make this a moving deal.

Hey. Hello.

I'm an excellent shot, and if I even think you're moving, I'll shoot you both

with a heart.

We don't have any money. Then by all means, take mine.

$2 ,000.

I don't care if you fly or take the bus, but come morning, be somewhere else.

Any PV units in the vicinity, report of an assault involving the Lee Brothers,

corner of Winsdale and Ocean Park.

1PB4 responding.

Over there.

What happened?

She could have killed us.

Please. We need protection.

Hey,

Corey. Hey, McDuck. I hear you're clear for light duty whenever you want.

Yeah, Dr. says I'm ahead of schedule.

I expected as much.

It's just that, um... I'm not sure.

I expected that, too.

Sit down.

You know, 12 years ago, I wasn't the same place you are.

Yeah, but yours is much more serious.

Yeah, you know, I'm never going to stop limping, but I'm a better person because

of it.

You're going to heal.

You have to use the scare to move forward now.

My mom used to say something like that.

I'll never bet against a mother.

Lieutenant, would you consider me a well -rounded person?

You sure you want the opinion of a divorced man who until a month ago

Frazier was still on chairs?

Yeah. I don't care if you're well -rounded or not.

You're a good person.

You're a great friend.

You're excellent at your job.

Nobody could ask for more.

Yeah, well, I could.

You take as much time as you need.

It's your life.

You have to feel comfortable in it.

Roger Jackson, a .k .a. The Connection, he'll be carrying the counterfeit bills.

Now, I'd like not to see news footage of them floating on the wind above the

boardwalk, all right?

Hector, Ramon, Romero, anyone doesn't know who he is or what he's into?

Back to the academy.

I'd like to see one or two of these other gentlemen there with weapons.

Therefore, I want everyone in vests and cyber gear.

I want Sergeant Calloway and Officer Del Toro notifying me of the time and place

of the meeting.

We will roll, okay? Any questions?

And let's get ready.

Chris, I want you to anchor the regular patrols while this is going down, okay?

Guys, look, just tell me one more time.

The Lee brothers can pull this off. They can, absolutely.

But more importantly, they want to. Well, as soon as we have what we need,

them out of there and radio me, okay?

You got it.

Showtime, boys.

What are you doing here?

Returning your money.

Why? I'd rather work for you than run from you.

Romero hired us to make trouble so he could charge you more.

I'm paranoid, huh?

Why are you telling me this?

He fits us, and we want to get even.

One day's work, $10 ,000 each.

Go inside, thought.

Finish packing.

I'm going to take these guys to meet Romero.

We're going to...

renegotiate his cut.

Lieutenant, this is Del Toro.

Come in.

We're in business. They took the bait.

Stand by.

Hi. Hi.

I had another dream last night.

Your mom again?

Doctor said I could ride for an hour. Do you feel like a slowpoke partner?

Any day.

But first...

Collapsible cane?

Training wheels? Open it.

Chris.

Well, I thought you could start here, and then you work your way up to the

Arctic Care Group.

Oh, you're a good friend.

So they worked for you all along?

Very nice, Romero.

Plain stupid suits you.

I don't know what you're talking about, Roger.

You got my money?

The 100 Gs are washed. Here's the 50 ,000.

75.

We're back to the old deal.

Before you tried to cheat me.

Lieutenant, it's the graffiti pit. The deal's going down now. We're en route.

EPA two minutes.

What are you guys trying to prove?

You don't know me.

Lieutenant!

Yeah, tell me.

We never work for Romero. We just ought to make some money.

Hey, what, you shoot one, I'll shoot one, we'll back the old deal, 50 -50.

Police! Drop your weapon!

You okay?

Yeah.

This is 1 -PB -5 requesting backup. Suspect heading north on Speedway, armed

dangerous.

Your call.

No question, what's next for me?

This is 1 -PB -7, heading north on the boardwalk, working just parallel on this

respect. Suspect's turning off PCH onto Ozone, looking to circle south.

Suspect's on Valley Beach with Mark and Wavecrest. I'll take part.

Wavecrest.

Damn, it's my dream.

me. Keep your hands up.

Take the weapon.

Turn around.

Turn around.

Please make it stop.

Ma 'am, everything's going to be all right.

It's all right, ma 'am. Everything's going to be okay. I doubt it.

Corey?

Since when did you start keeping the chamber around empty?

Today.

We're sorry for all the trouble we caused. And thank you for the kind words

the judge.

All right.

I hope you guys get what you want.

Looks like maybe a two -pitch deal, not big budget.

But Schwarzenegger started as Conan the Barbarian, and he's not doing too badly.

I love you guys, huh? Been saying it all along. I love you guys. Come here.

Listen, one thing. When my attorney was drawing up your work permits, he came

across the names Harvey and Clive.

Those are Christian names.

Don't ever mention them again.

Ever. Now listen, I got a script for you to read.

Double dose of death.

Hey, I have to talk to our agent first.

Your agent?

Who's your agent?

Marty Rosen.

You want to sign us up back here, do you?

Well, Pilgrim, we know you'll do a good job.

You guys will never regret this.

My boys are going to need direct approval, you know that?

Is this a great country or what?

Both.

your message, Mom.

Don't try to talk it down.

Why, everyone that's on my town would stand

and see it was for me.

Take a look around.

Just another day in L .A.

Anybody, she's older than me. Anybody,

please see it free.

Someday, what it lets down, just

another day.
