Ah!

This is 20 William 10, Officer Stewart Inspector, heading north off Flower. We

have a visual on suspect.

Detective Law is on foot.

10 -4.

Look at Sumo Boy go.

Sumos are from Japan, Einstein.

I hear this guy's the fastest Batman in China. Thank you very much for the

geography lesson. Now, would you punch it so we can help nail this creep?

What took you so long?

Do you know how hard it is to run these pads?

Remember the moves I showed you?

I'm a paid professional.

I know how to sell a punch.

Show me.

Hey, that's so hard, man.

Sorry. Watch it.

I told those ones to read me my rights.

Me?

Make it quick, Brute. I want to call my lawyer and have him meet me downtown.

Have him meet you at the morgue.

Is there a problem?

It's like self -defense to me.

Yeah.

Herb wouldn't drop his gun.

Guys like that never learn.

Now his case, it happened.

What we saw you told me about a book Yeah,

we're gonna run this okay, it's cool

Well, I think he got

the picture it was a pleasure backing you up second need anything call

Now that's what I call free -falling, baby.

You know how many people could hit that mark on the first take without an air

mattress? You know, I'm guessing the 1 ,500 members of the Stubman's

that are actually employed.

Dee Dee, don't be a buzzkill. I just came from the moments of my life.

Please don't call me Dee Dee.

I used to love that nickname when we were hitched.

That was that waitress from Hooters. I can't remember her name exactly.

It was something animated like Dumbo or Daffy. Is it my fault that I'm fidelity

challenged?

Come on, you got to admit, I mean, you guys look good.

I kind of like thing flailing arms.

Hey,

can you spot me a hundred and tell your people to cut me a check?

I didn't like you better when you were dead.

Oh, look at that. Huh?

Huh?

Well, I tell you, I got to give your ex -hobby one thing. He most definitely has

flair. Yeah? You should see him take a punch.

Trude and Beckwith backed up Sammo's story.

Last night's sting went off without a hitch, except for throwing Lance through

that window.

The door was locked.

Look, we're dealing with a vigilante cop ring here.

No more improvising.

Okay, Lieutenant, let me ask you something.

Why are we investigating this case? Isn't it an internal affairs problem?

Well, the person who brought this case to my attention believes these cops

have an inside man in IA.

Ooh, so when do we get to meet this deep throat?

Yeah. Come on, I think it's time you lifted the code of silence on this one.

Come on, Lieutenant, the suspense is killing us.

My source is Judge Mary Rubin.

We're old friends. Her son David was killed a few months back.

She's convinced that these vigilante cops were behind it.

David, Rubin, what...

Wasn't he the uniform over at Rampart? Yeah, right, exactly.

I was his sergeant his first year out of the academy, so that's why she came to

see me. Right. Didn't the report say David was killed in a drive -by? A

of days before he was killed, David told his mother he'd found out about a group

inside the department who called themselves the Brotherhood. Then two

later, he was gunned down outside of a convenience store while his partner,

Scott Truitt, was getting coffee.

The judges think these are good.

Our job here is to find out how many cops are involved in this brotherhood

who's running it.

We're counting on Truett and Beckwith to invite Sammo into the fold.

Life must stay dead.

Oh, you're kidding with me.

Don't be so mean.

You knew him?

Yeah.

Played in the LAPD baseball league.

Struck me out three times.

Don't feel bad, detective.

David played a season in the minors.

Dreams of becoming a Dodger?

I hate to admit it, but he was a diehard Yankees fan.

We feel very sorry for your loss.

And I honored you ask for our help.

Thank you, Sammo.

I believe I've...

uncovered two more members of the Brotherhood. Yeah.

Officers Roginovich and Peter Zahn. Yes. Please, have a seat.

They were the first to arrive on the crime scene of five recent homicides.

All the victims were career criminals who had dodged conviction on a

technicality. So far, we have four potential members and eight murders.

Nine, if you count David.

He stood up to them. That's why they took him out.

Is there any evidence?

Unfortunately not.

All the crime scenes were squeaky clean.

They target criminals in different areas, so none of the cases seem

Okay. Thank you, Judge. We'll keep you posted.

Samuel, if they recruit you, please be careful.

These cops consider themselves a breed above others. When they found David, his

badge was missing, and I think they took it because they didn't consider him

worthy to have it.

Don't worry.

I can think pretty fast on my feet.

And on his head, on his back, on his hands.

Jeff, be careful.

I will honor your son's memory and bring these cops to justice.

So then, he just... Bruce leads a guy right off the sixth door.

That, boys, is why you have order in a country of 1 .2 billion people.

Yeah, and he doesn't even need a gun to get the job done.

A guy like that can come in handy.

Except not enough clean -up time.

Let me think about it.

Now that we're all here, gentlemen, meet Carlos Bianco.

Drug dealer.

Walked out of court a free man.

Even though the DEA found 20 keys of heroin stuffed under his kitchen sink.

What the hell did he want?

Some bureaucrat stamped the wrong date on a search warrant.

Boys, time to pass the hat.

These badges are symbols of honor, worn by men who understand the true meaning

of justice.

For justice.

For justice.

Rejected.

Rejected. All right.

Rejected.

Let's see who gets to carry out the sentence.

They're shooting back with her in traffic court the rest of the afternoon.

Time for lunch.

Absolutely, I was thinking the same thing. And today's your lucky day,

because I am going to let you in on the best -kept secret in L .A. You are going

to love rats.

I know.

I like Puffy Daddy.

No. No, no, no, no. It's not music. It's food, you see. You rap it.

Yeah. You rap food in China. Or it goes back.

No, we're not connecting here, big guy. You see, the actual food is called a

rap. See that?

Big tortilla. You can put anything you like in the middle. And rap.

Chicken, lettuce, salsa.

Pork belly?

Pork belly?

Well, yeah, I guess.

Jammo! Can I still order?

What part of do not leave the house did you not understand?

I just went out to get some coffee.

Relax. Nobody saw me. I'm an actor. I know how to blend in.

Now you're going to be blending into this coffee table.

Enjoy your coffee.

What time you got?

Should be any time now.

Melvich and Zahn have been sitting out there for a while now.

So you did handcuff Lance with something solid, right? Yeah, yeah, he's secure.

I just, I had to have a break from him today.

But I gotta tell you, this is like watching paint dry. Man, tell me about

Oh, wait a minute, I thought you loved stakeouts.

Yeah, I do.

Kind of like camping with guns. Yeah.

Carlos, got a call.

Make a message.

It's your lawyer.

Beat him to the punch.

I'll get the back.

Watch yourself.

Step away from the body.

Back off.

Detective, step away from the body. We got it. You said we got it.

Put him down.

I'm with him.

Okay, we're on the same team.

Go ahead.

Tell your wife he's dead. He's ours.

The cops work in tandem.

Two take out the suspect while the other two position themselves to be first at

the scene.

So they clean up all the evidence. Well, that explains a lot.

If we hadn't met at La Carmena, Novich and Don would have cleaned out all the

evidence before CSU even got there.

Yeah, we beat them to the punch this time.

Actually, we recovered one of the bullets. Ballistics is running it as we

Yeah, what about Truett and Beckwith?

I was watching them chow down on Tommy Burgers at the time of the shooting.

Which means the ring is even bigger than we thought.

Sammo, no calls?

No.

But it takes time to win acceptance.

We must be patient.

Yeah, you're right.

All right, well, let's press on.

Thank you.

That's a very impressive bunch you've gathered there, Ben. Oh, thanks. I like

think of them as my eclectic dream team.

You know, at one point I was hoping that David would be able to join us.

He would have liked that.

You were a real inspiration to him.

Yeah, Mary, I know that today they're dedicating David's plaque down at

Are you sure you don't want someone to go with you?

I learned after Harold died, if I have a shoulder to cry on, I cry.

I get through these things better by myself.

Thank you.

Come on, Jeff.

If you're a junior talent agent, take some initiative.

Send a messenger.

Good, that's the way.

Yeah, I'll be here.

Yes.

Ballistics match the bullet to a weapon being held in evidence control.

Very smart.

Yep, if the weapon's ever traced, it's got in there a tight alibi.

I'm going to go fill wood shipping.

You can do that.

Samuel, let me ask you something, man. Back in Shanghai, did Grace... You know,

did she ever have a boyfriend?

No. She was too busy working.

Really?

Here it is, but you must have had the wrong tray.

This gun's been sealed for six months.

What the hell are you doing? You don't ever open the evidence bags.

Hey, this isn't Blockbuster. We don't check out murder weapons.

Recently fired.

All right, listen, I'm going to have to see that duty roster.

All duty officers are security clear. You're wasting your time. You don't

understand. I need to see the roster.

No. Give me the roster.

I'm reporting it to you, Lieutenant.

Hey, knock yourself out.

What about your dentist?

Believe it or not, we like to keep the place clean.

This has to get to my agent's desk today. Understand?

Hey, I got it. Thank you.

Hey, Didi.

Did you get any ice cream?

How in the hell did you get out of those handcuffs?

Please.

I'm a professional stuntman.

You ordered pizza?

Yes.

Jacobo's special, your favorite.

Hi. Hi. One Jacobo's special?

Oh, my God.

You're Lance Carter, the TV star.

This is incredible.

I'm sorry. You actually recognize him?

What do you mean? He's a legend.

He did the epic claw fight as Torso in Xena, Warrior Princess. Mr. Carter, can

hit you up for an autograph?

Yeah. How about a head shot?

Excellent.

Let me get out to Chad.

Oh, to Chad.

Love your pies.

This is getting center square on the Jacopo Wall thing.

Thanks. Oh, wait, wait, wait.

There you go. Keep the change.

Wow. Thanks a lot.

Well,

look at that. An actual member. Card -carrying member of the Lance Carter Fan

Club. At least somebody believes in my talent.

Honey, I always believed in your talent. It was just your lack of employment

that drove me crazy.

I have a feeling that will be changing very soon, thank you.

You want to share a slice?

Oh, no.

No, no, because the last time we shared a slice... No, I don't think we should

do that.

Mmm.

Forgetting how good it is.

I really miss being around you all the time like this, Dan.

One slice.

Evidence control officers came up clean.

How'd you do with the janitorial staff?

Check out this guy, Rusty Brown.

I found a little glitch in his file.

The fingerprints on his record, they're not his. They're his cousin's.

Rusty, try him to hide.

A year at Folsom on a B &E rap.

I figure the vigilantes are using that to squeeze him. Okay, so Rusty gets the

gun. He killed Bianco with it. Give it back to Rusty. He seals it. Puts it back

in evidence before breakfast. What do you think?

Works for me.

This is Samuel.

I'll be right over.

Tour and back with want to see me.

So we heard about your lack of transportation.

We don't think cops should have to take the bus.

We pulled a few strings.

Got you hooked up with an impound car.

Thank you. It's no big deal.

In China, a car is big deal.

We're a brotherhood.

We like to look after our own.

We even get together on the weekends and help out in the community.

Try and improve the image of the LAPD.

How many cops are in the brotherhood?

Just know that somebody's always got your back.

I like this one.

Whatever rocks your world.

Automatic, huh?

A big plus.

Keys are above the visor.

Does this mean I'm now a member of the Brotherhood?

Why don't we take your new wheels for a spin and we'll talk about that.

You recognize that, Rusty?

It was used to pop Carlos Bianco yesterday.

Then, Shazam.

It's back in evidence control this morning.

I'm guessing between midnight and 3 a .m.

That's your shift, isn't it, Rusty?

Look, Rusty, we know about your record.

We can help you.

Tell us who's putting the squeeze on you, Rusty.

Or maybe you'd rather go up on account of conspiracy to commit murder.

It was two young guns, Oswald and Manila.

Welcome, gentlemen.

So, you're Sam.

Got on the heavy side to be doing all that kung fu crap the boy's been telling

me about.

Marshal asked, it's about finding your center.

Mine is just easier to spot.

Lieutenant Tom McNeese, LAPD, retired.

Is this your house?

No, it's a pet project.

Like -minded cops get together, build homes for victims that need help in

A noble enterprise.

Take a look.

So I heard you took out a major league dirt bag.

In self -defense.

I'm sure it was.

It's okay. There's no secrets in my house.

In China, accidents like that happen all the time.

I was wondering if you'd heard anything about the Bianco murder.

Your unit handles it.

They keep me in the dark.

I get the feeling maybe not everybody on the job appreciates your unique style

of police work.

No. The system here can be frustrating.

That's because it's designed to protect the wrong people.

It's twisted. It favors the guilty rather than the innocent.

I would like to help twist it back into shape.

There may be room for you in our brotherhood.

But first you'll have to prove you're willing to go the distance for the

Sure.

You have a little problem needs fixing.

A judge named Mary Rubin.

You know him? Only too well. He was kicked off the force about five years

He said he retired.

That's the official story, but it didn't go down exactly like that.

Mac and I were on a team that was taken out of Crack House, but the bus went

bad. I watched while McNeese blew away two on -arm dealers.

Why wasn't he brought up on charges?

Code of silence.

Except for me. I reported him.

But the higher -ups, well, they didn't want another scandal, so they retired

him. Actually threw him a party.

Right. If McNeese is soliciting Sammo, we can arrest him, right?

No. No?

We must think about it like water buffalo.

I knew I overlooked something.

If we race into the heart, we only catch one or two.

If we surround him, we get them all.

Samuel's right.

Technically, McNeese hasn't asked him to do anything.

And as for Rusty, I don't know if the jury's going to take the word of an ex

-con over that of two decorated officers.

What are you suggesting, Samuel?

That you use me as the bait. Oh, come on. No way.

These men killed my son in cold blood, Ben.

And if putting myself out there as the target is what it's going to take to

bring them down, then I am more than willing to do that.

Okay, but I'm putting everyone on this, Ben.

Somebody on the inside told them I pulled those files. They can have a

I .A., they can have one in your department.

We don't know who we can trust.

We'll watch.

We wait.

All right.

Lewis, I want you, Dana, and Grace to watch the judge 24 -7 when he's seeing

McNeese against Sammo.

He told me to come by a bar called Colteret.

How's the Cadillac?

Very roomy.

Fellow.

We have a new recruit.

Sammo Law.

Today, this is initiation.

Judge Mary Rubin, she's our target. I don't know about tag. Taking out bad

is one thing. Taking out judges is another.

Justice has many enemies. Would you like a full list of all the criminals she's

let walk on technicalities? The cases she's thrown out because of lack of

sufficient evidence.

Defense attorneys celebrate with glee when they draw her courtroom.

But more to the point.

My sources inform me that Judge Mary Rubin has taken an unhealthy interest in

some of your pot.

Our work is too important to be dismantled.

Then we take her out.

Gentlemen, time to pass the hat.

For justice.

For justice.

Throw your badge in with the true men of honor.

Yeah, hold on.

Lance?

It's your agent.

Hey, buddy.

I'm a huge fan of his work. He really wants me?

This is great!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Later.

What, what, what, what?

What's great?

Jean -Claude Van Damme's people saw my new tape.

They want me to be a stunt double in his next movie.

Wow.

Really? Yeah.

Ladies, I'm very proud of you.

Thank you.

Wait a minute.

What new tape?

You don't have a new tape?

Well, I sort of borrowed the, uh...

The heartful.

It's evidence in an ongoing case. I can't... I'm never having pizza with you

again.

Yeah, I'll be right there.

I just need to find Lance, a babysitter.

Babysitter? Come on, baby.

Why are you so angry?

Okay, Gidget.

Lance just wants to use the phone.

Okay, okay.

Here.

How about a bone?

Okay, one now.

One after I call my agent.

Here you go.

That's a dog. Good boy.

Good boy.

What are you doing?

What?

Okay. All right.

It's only a local call.

Sammo. You ride with Novich and Zahn.

calls when we're on in time.

Keep your eyes open for dog walkers and limo drivers, huh? Okay.

No, I got you.

Smells good.

Let me get a couple slices.

Excuse me.

You know this guy?

Yes, Lance Carter. You know, famous stuntman.

Yeah, I think we caught one of his performances the other night.

Really? I just saw him yesterday.

He didn't mention he was doing anything.

We're going to need his address.

Hello.

Tina McNeese, get this.

Sam will set us up.

The guy we saw him kill is a stuntman. Used to be married to one of Winship's

cops.

I think they underestimate who they're playing with.

I can't believe you left me all alone with Kujo. I mean, that's not cruel and

unusual punishment. I don't know what is. Oh, I'll tell you about cruel and

unusual punishment. Cruel and unusual punishment is paying 20 % of my salary

when I was only married to you for a year of my life.

Guess what? What? I got a job on my own without your help. Thank you. No, no,

no. You didn't get it on your own. You betrayed me and you put both our lives

danger. All right. That's it. I'm calling a cab and I'm getting out of

Fine.

Why is your phone line dead?

You got one taped to your back with an ankle holster, right?

You only have one gun, Lance.

Stay down.

Yeah, I'm fine.

We'll make a good team, Deedee.

Yeah.

Pizza?

Yeah, what the hell?

McNeese must have gotten word.

Probably took the first plane out of here.

McNeese is not the kind of man who runs.

He is waiting for us.

Why the hell would he do that, Samuel? He thinks he is a man of honor.

He will watch, defend his cause.

You're right.

I know where McNeese is.

Okay, then I'll go with Sam. All right, I'm gonna take Grace. We're gonna head

down to Parker Center. We got a bad cop who's gonna tell us everything we need

to know. Yeah, remember, no I .A. Absolutely not. We got the feds helping

with this debriefing. Yeah, good. Look, I want you to divide up those cops and

put the squeeze on them. Beyond McNeese, I want the names, rank, and badge

numbers of every cop involved in this thing.

Lieutenant Winship.

I guess if you kiss enough brass, anything's possible.

Pretending to be a cop again, Mac?

Your outfit's starting to get a little too tight.

What would you know about being a cop?

You're just a bureaucrat with a badge.

Well, coming from a murderer, I'll take that as a compliment.

We are cleaning up our streets.

We're making sure people are safe from the scum that slip through the courts.

We're giving justice a helping hand.

Where does it all end, though, Mac?

I mean, first you kill criminals, then a cop, and now you want to take out a

judge? We're standing up for justice in a time when no one else will.

Well, look on the bright side.

Now you can get your picture on the wall, right next to David Rubin.

McNeese's trailer.

He's finished.

Thank you.

I know that nothing can bring David back, but maybe now his death won't be

vain. As soon as the cops found out we had him, turned on each other in a

heartbeat.

So much for the brotherhood.

They named 12 members of the ring.

Including Beckwith's cousin in IA.

Good, good work.

Do me a favor and see that the judge gets home.

One question.

Shoot. Can I keep the car?

Thank you.

Stay tuned for Walker, Texas Ranger, next.

L .A. Doctors is the highest rated new drama this season. This Monday, see why.

A shock jock makes a desperate attempt to boost the ratings.

I'm ready to turn my life over to God.

Can one doctor keep him from doing the unthinkable?

An all -new episode of L .A. Doctors, CBS Monday.
