Head corner, make left, find place to parallel, park, back up, turn around,

head back to DMV.

Yes, sir.

Don't worry, most people pass the first time.

You do not like your job.

Would you?

You know how many times a week I drive around this block?

I tell you, too many.

Came to LA to be actor.

Left great job as New York City cab driver.

And look at me now.

You would be a good actor.

You know, some of the greats of Hollywood rode in my cab.

And they all said the same thing.

Raj, you should be an actor.

Pacino, De Niro, Jean -Claude.

Like them?

The one and only.

Don't left here.

Sure, no problem.

Somerset, you ready to close the door?

Copy that, Fallon. Just waiting for your date, Joe.

He's coming.

Just give us a minute to freshen up.

Matt, this is Baker Charlie. We have a Code 11 in progress. Do you read?

Repeat, we have a Code 11 in progress now!

Every time I audition, it's for the same role. Manager of 7 -Eleven.

Make right at the stoplight.

Come on, moving, let's go, let's go, let's go!

Let's roll now!

Can I work schedule?

We had almost completed the driver's test, but all of a sudden, it was a

fire boat. Many men with orange overalls and automatic weapons. They were not...

Stolen DWP van was found behind a gas station in Echo Park. It was torched.

Just like the other five heists. Yeah.

This is Mr. LaSalle. He has a picture.

Hey, this is unbelievable.

I mean, I've been in business for 12 years. Never been hit.

Now they've hit me twice in two months. I understand your frustration, Mr.

LaSalle. I don't think you do.

They're hitting us on Monday when we're carrying the weekend mall receipt.

My insurance rates are going to skyrocket.

Again. Yeah, well, we'll need a list of all the people that had access to your

route. Yeah, sure.

Thank you.

All right, what do you guys got?

Nine millimeter.

Yeah, nine millimeter.

You haven't run the list yet, Lieutenant.

I thought you said they wore gloves.

Okay,

well, what else you guys got?

The man who shot him has the same tattoo.

That means they are part of something.

So are you thinking gang, Samuel?

No.

Military.

The leader sacrificed one of his men to keep him from talking to the enemy.

Meaning us.

Yes. All right, get a blow -up of that tattoo. I want to know what it means.

It looks like that armored truck guard is done with the paramedics. See if you

can get anything out of him. Okay.

Hi, uh, Mr. Stoller?

Yeah, I know that's just things that I get asked.

I know. I was on the job.

Really? What division?

Out.

Andy Stallworth? Hey.

What are you doing here?

The last time I heard there, you were one step away from badging up down in

Beach. Uh, yeah, it didn't work out.

Huh.

You remember Kristen?

Yeah. She's six now. No.

Yeah.

So I couldn't be too choosy. You know, kids, they don't get any cheaper. Yeah,

tell me about it. I've been doing this about four months.

Well, I'm just glad to see that you're back on your feet again.

So tell me, did you happen to see any of these guys?

They all wore masks that I could see. They dropped in on us like commandos.

were pros, that's for sure.

All right, well, if you think of anything... I know who to call. Yeah,

It's really good to see you again, Andy.

Thanks. Okay, so...

Driving in China is much easier.

Lots of honking.

You have to run someone over not to get a license.

I have to wait four weeks for another appointment.

Four weeks?

No, that's ridiculous, man. Let me take care of that. I'll help you cut through

the red tape, all right?

Good.

Have you heard from Dana?

Yeah, she called this morning. Made her first call to the deputy sheriff back in

Black Creek, Missouri.

Why does she want to move there? She missed her mom and her stepdad.

I understand.

Family is very important.

Okay, okay.

How close can you park to the fire hydrant?

Listen, when in doubt, answer B to all the questions. Trust me on that.

Statistically, you can't go wrong.

Sir, sir.

Here's the files from hate crimes on paramilitary groups in the area. Hey,

thanks. And your coffee. Oh, you're a lifesaver, Jane.

I went over the armored car manifold.

And even though the routes were changed at the last minute, this crew still knew

where to hit the truck.

So if there's an inside guy, who's our most likely candidate?

You're not going to like this.

Andy Stallworth.

He was the only guy in the truck who had access to the new route list.

Well, just because the guy dropped off the force doesn't mean that he's our

I talked to his co -workers.

They say Andy's got a gambling problem.

All right.

I'll go.

Pretty crazy place, eh, Samuel?

You should see the tattoo parlors in Shanghai.

Eh?

Can I help you, boy?

I certainly hope so.

We've been hitting tattoo parlors all morning, hoping someone could tell us a

little about this particular design.

Oh, yeah. I do one of those every now and again.

It stands for Liberty Republic.

They're a bunch of Aryan Nation wannabes.

I always wiggle the needle around to make sure it hurts.

What is Aryan Nation?

They're a hate group, Sam.

Who do they hate?

I guess they hate anybody that doesn't have the same skin color as they do.

Which means they wouldn't like you.

Only unhappy people worry about their skin color.

Oh, forget about those Liberty Republic creeps. Now, how about a tattoo?

I don't think so. Thank you. We'll pass.

Oh, can I persuade you?

Take a look.

Are those birds?

Peacocks.

You have very beautiful peacocks.

Thank you.

Seven.

Welcome to Orlando, Rick.

Hi, Kristen.

How did you know my name?

I used to work with your dad. Is he around?

He's in the shower.

Could you tell him I'd like to see him, please? I'm a police officer.

You have a bag?

Mm -hmm.

See?

I'm with the Los Angeles Police Department.

You're a lieutenant?

Yes. You're old enough to be a captain.

Did you just tell your dad Lieutenant Winship is here?

Why?

He'll know why.

What if he asks me why?

Could you please just go get your dad?

Okay.

Thank you.

I signed up for case security after I struck out in Long Beach.

You get a black mark from the LAPD, it's hard to shame.

Hey, there was no black mark.

You took disability leave. They told you you could come back, but you put your

own papers in. I'm not blaming anyone.

I left the force because I couldn't float.

Your wife was dying of cancer, man. You perfectly understand that.

I know you didn't come here to talk about that.

What's up?

We think there was an inside man, and fingers are starting to point at you.

Why?

Because I had the pickup roof.

Put yourself in my shoes.

It's routine.

Look, other companies were hit, not just us.

You think I have inside knowledge on all of them?

It's a line of investigation, Andy. You know how it works.

I'm not your guy.

Okay. Then tell me about your gambling debts.

After Nancy died, I went off the deep end. I started to hit the tables.

Look, Daddy, I'm kicking my leg!

That's great, honey.

Christmas is the only reason I survived. I'm getting my act together here.

I swear I had nothing to do with these heists.

Yeah, I want to believe you, Andrew.

I do.

Gotta go.

See you again.

I'll keep my eyes open.

Maybe I can turn up something for you.

Cooper,

you know better than to sneak up on a soldier when he's firing his gun.

I want to cash out, pal.

When you signed on to this operation, you made a commitment to the cause.

I don't give a damn about your cause.

In fact, if you and your potato -head buddies want to go on back to Idaho and

start your own country, go right ahead.

I just, uh, want my share of the take.

Two more jobs.

That's what you contracted for. That's what you're going to do.

Well, how do I know that I'm not going to end up with a bullet in the back like

Grimes?

Grimes was a casualty at war.

I want you to check something out.

Take a good look at this, brother.

Did you do that?

Yeah.

I just want you to see what you're going to look like if we ever have this

conversation again.

Take it easy.

You have an idea on our tattoo tote?

I'm still working on it, but better yet.

The lab got a hit on a partial thumbprint in the casing that Sammo

Bobby Lee Somerset, a local freelancer with a sheet for armed robbery.

And it seems when Bobby's not busy playing trigger man, he's out surfing.

got a condo in Santa Monica.

Good work. All right, call Lewis and Sammo. I want them to go wax Bobby's

Okay, I'm on it.

Looks like a big kahuna right here, Samuel. Bill Somerset, 202.

You ever try surfing, Samuel? Sure.

On the net.

On the net?

What do you say we start buzzing other apartments?

I guess not.

What do you see, Samuel?

The apartment is stuck inside, but the candles are burning.

Go there. Where?

There.

Right there.

Do this.

And this.

All right, don't tell me. This part about working with you is definitely the

surprises.

Hey,

Samuel, you're like Spider -Man.

Super Sai.

What are you doing?

Nice robe.

You sure this was the place Bobby Lee told us about?

Yeah.

What do you have?

Two orders.

Two cops.

Good. Now we can skip to the bonus round. We're looking for a guy called

Cooper.

Sorry, don't recognize his face.

He's a pretty bad dude, man.

Likes to jack armored cars.

Like I said, I don't know him.

Well, that's interesting, isn't it, Sammo? Yes, very.

See, Sammo and I just had a little chat with Bobby Somerset.

Bobby's telling us that Wes is a regular here. Likes to knock back a couple of

Heinekens, belt out love on the rocks.

Hi, Neil Diamond.

What? How do you know about... Hey, you want us to take your infrastructure?

Coach is regular the clock should be in any minute, but you didn't hear me,

okay?

Hey, Lieutenant.

Hey, Kristen.

Listen, I have some ideas I think might be of help. Oh, Andy, you're not

investigating this case.

I just got off lunch.

What do you got for me?

I won't know for certain until I check it out.

Nobody's going to clear my name unless I do. This thing's going to follow me

wherever I go. Come on, Andy.

Lieutenant, please.

Go and get a sitter.

Come on. What, you're here?

Come on.

She'll be so good. She'll sit at a desk with a coloring book. I'm sorry. I'm

sorry. I cannot do that, Andy. You know that.

I'm sorry.

He's not going to give us anything, Lieutenant.

Whoever he's working for has him good and scared.

I'm thinking this guy's just a hired help like Bobby Lee. Yeah, how do you

No tattoo.

Very good.

Hi, Lieutenant.

Spock Grimes, our dead bad guy from the heist.

Ex -Army Ranger, served in Desert Storm.

Last known address is Hadley, Idaho, which also happens to be the home of the

Liberty Republic.

Who the ATF suspects of gun running and dealing explosives.

The FBI seems to think they're responsible for burning down several

synagogues across the Midwest.

So these guys are robbing armored trucks to finance their activities.

All right, call ATF and see if they can hook us up with a list of known Liberty

Republic members.

I'm on it.

Oh, by the way, I had Jane put Kristen in your office.

Lieutenant, I am so sorry. Andy told me you gave him the okay.

I thought you were just trying to help him out. It's all right, Grace. Don't

sweat it. It's not your fault. Jane, could you give us a few minutes, please?

Sure. She's adorable.

Hi, Kristen.

Remember me? I'm Lieutenant Winship.

Sure.

Can I have some juice?

Juice? Yeah, sure.

Juice. Now, look, I'm going to need your help, sweetie.

Do you know where your dad went?

No. I like Orange Fest.

Orange.

We can do Orange.

Are you sure he didn't tell you where he went?

I'm sure.

Apple's okay, too.

Apple.

Apple.

Here, you try.

Kristen, sweetie.

Did Daddy tell you when he was coming back?

No.

That's pretty nail polish. Can I try some?

You sure can.

Detective Chen is going to be looking after you. I am?

Yes, you are.

You're not going to let her out of your sight, are you?

No, sir.

Want to play some blocks?

Yeah, sure. We can play some blocks.

Got that?

How's it going, David?

How's it going?

Trying to make killing machines out of marshmallows. That's how it's going. I

hear you.

Listen, let me ask you a question.

Does your brother still work at the DMV?

You need a favor, huh?

Actually, Sammo does.

See, my man here, he's going to have his wheels parked if he doesn't get a hurry

-up appointment at the DMV.

They're telling him he has to wait four weeks.

That's a long time without a license.

Tell you what.

You help me with a little demonstration, and I'll see what I can do for you,

Sammo. Maybe you should find a different volunteer.

Are you crazy?

I think maybe... No, I think he's perfect for this. David, I think you

find a different volunteer. No, listen.

Waited weeks for the delivery of these sticks.

35 hours of intensive training from the best instructor in the Marine Corps.

I'm prepared.

But hey, Samo, if you're afraid, you're going to get hurt.

Okay.

What do you want me to do?

All right, class, listen up.

Today's lesson is a demonstration on how to deal with an opponent who has a

weapon other than a knife or a gun.

Detective Law here has agreed to help me with a little demonstration.

Attack!

Come on.

This ain't mine, class.

A little example of what you should look for from your opponent.

Here's another example.

Are

you

okay?

Don't worry.

I'll get you your appointment.

Thank you.

T -C -E -F -P -B -Z.

You sure?

Very clear to me.

T -C -E -F -P -B -Z. This is pathetic, man.

I've been waiting over an hour, and this is the line for appointments?

Someone stole my license plate, and now I've got to be here and deal with this

mess?

Why would someone steal your place?

Personalized place.

Don't N -V -U.

Get it? That's good.

My place.

The bomb.

That's you?

You better watch it. Those will be gone before you know it.

Sam O 'Law?

Right here.

What do you need?

To get my driver's license.

Baby, I know that already.

You're going to have to be a little more specific.

I need to take the driver's test again.

Uh -huh. Well, I got some bad news for you.

You need to fill out this form and this form.

Take the eye test, the written test, and then take yourself over to window C,

which is only open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8 to 4. Have a good day.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

I have already done that.

And?

I don't mean to be troubled.

You're so sweet.

Let me check something.

Oh, it's a weapon.

And don't make me use them.

Okay, look, you failed your driver's test. You're going to have to start all

over.

You have beautiful eyes, like black pearls.

Stunning.

Are you trying to butter me up?

No, I'm just telling the truth.

Thursday afternoon, okay for your driver's test?

Perfect.

Somerset and Cooper got taken down by the cops.

If you know anything about prisoner of war mentality, Mr. LaSalle, you'd know

that a soldier won't crack as long as he's got something to live for.

My call is those two guys are living for their back end.

Do they know about me, Fallon?

They're on a strictly need -to -know basis.

Well, good, because I'm out.

That's a shame, because the movement still needs funds.

Taking down these trucks is getting too damn risky. I mean, sooner or later,

these cops are going to play connect the dots. And when they do, it's going to

point right back to me.

It is too risky taking down those trucks one at a time.

So it's time to implement a new strategy.

You looking for something?

Heard from Andy?

Nope, nothing.

He said he was working on a hunch he had about this case.

Lieutenant, I talked to some of Andy's friends.

You know, after his wife died, Andy dropped Kristen off at his sister's and

disappeared on a three -day gambling binge.

No, no, no. He said he was all through with it.

Maybe he fell off the wagon.

Yeah, well...

If you hear anything, just give me a call. I'll be at home.

Okay.

Children can think when things are wrong.

That is why she cannot sleep.

You know, I tried reading to her, but it didn't work.

Let me try.

Hello, Christian.

Who are you?

I'm Samuel.

Samuel, when is Daddy coming back?

We hope soon.

I miss him.

You know, when I was a boy in China, my mother used to sing a song to me when I

couldn't sleep.

What kind?

A lullaby.

Would you like me to sing it to you?

There are only good mothers in the world. There are only

good mothers in the world. There are only good mothers in the world.

You must eat.

I'm not hungry.

But it is breakfast of champions.

What is it?

Open it.

For Dolly to protect her on a rainy day.

Only if you finish your breakfast.

I picked up Bobby Lee Somerset's wife.

Seems Mrs. Somerset is less than blissfully married. Lewis is

now. Keep me posted.

Sure thing.

That's him.

I told him not to get involved with that crew.

They were going to look out for him.

Can you ID any of the other members?

It's the leader.

A guy called Fallon.

Bobby Lee hooked up with him at the gun club in the valley.

Who's the fella?

What can I do for you?

That's a nice tattoo.

Are you a member of the Liberty Republic?

Well, having a political point of view isn't a crime, is it? No.

But blowing up churches and synagogues is.

Are you just here to hassle me, officers?

I'm investigating a homicide and a series of armored car robberies. Where

you Monday morning? I was home in Idaho.

Really?

Yeah, really.

Church meeting went a little late Sunday night.

Got up early Monday morning, did some barbed wires.

So then what are you doing here in Los Angeles?

I go back and forth quite a bit.

Sell threshing equipment.

Threshing equipment?

Wow, I didn't know there was such a big demand for threshing equipment in L .A.

Hey, guys, I'm just trying to cooperate, all right? Is that a fact?

Well, you know what?

We think you're trying to finance your own little revolution, Fallon.

Hey, maybe you want to move the nation's capital to Hadley, Idaho.

No, brother.

I just want to keep America pure.

Send people like her back to their own country.

That's funny.

You don't look Native American.

Where should we send you?

I know exactly where I'm going to find you.

Yeah? Yeah.

We'll be seeing each other.

Go, Chris.

How long have I checked out? We checked the airlines. There is no way he could

have made it back and forth from Idaho to L .A. based on those flight

Shoot, I don't believe it. All right, keep up surveillance of the Army truck

routes, and let's isolate the ones that we think may be vulnerable.

Where's Sammo?

Babysitting.

You know, Lieutenant, if Andy doesn't show up soon, we're going to have to

Kristen over to child welfare. I'm aware of that, Lewis.

Let's just give the man to the end of the day, why don't we?

What is your science project?

We have the choice of growing a seed, showing how the solar system works, or

building a volcano.

Volcano is the sure thing.

Yeah, but that's the toughest one.

Toughest project will bring you the best grade.

But my dad comes to do it with me.

We will do it together.

You know how to build a volcano?

When I was a boy in China, we were taught that learning comes from a

You don't know anything about building a volcano, do you?

Not really.

Just like my dad.

Let's lock and load.

No questions in the field, gentlemen, so if you've got them, ask them now.

What about him?

We keep him for insurance until the mission's complete.

Now let's get it on.

We want to build a volcano.

This big.

This big.

We need a chicken wire.

Aisle eight.

Flash of Paris.

Aisle four.

Wood. Lumber. Back of the store. Thank you.

Did I mention my flash project is due tomorrow?

Then we will complete it tonight.

I have to be in bed by eight.

Okay. I will complete it tonight.

Last year, Timmy Slater's mom built him a tornado, and he got first place.

Do you have his mom's phone number?

Hello? Yes?

I have to go to the bathroom.

Okay.

You have to come with me.

No problem.

My dad always comes right outside the door.

I'll be right here.

Okay, don't go away now. Promise?

Promise.

What you reading, Pops?

Still there, Samu?

Sure.

Right here.

It's a robbery.

Cash! Yeah, okay.

I don't want any problem. Let me just get... Come on.

Hey, Chairman Mao, this is none of your business.

I'm still here.

You okay?

Also, we need a wire cutter and a big roll of brown paper.

Don't forget the baking soda to make the volcano sizzle.

And baking soda for sizzle.

Lewis, we just had an alarm. Case security.

Hit another armored truck?

Nope. Main Depot.

Got to go.

Let's go.

Well, we were monitoring the truck route. They went for the mother load.

Yeah, looks like they double -crossed their inside man on his own turf.

Frank, let's talk.

Found our inside guy.

There's got to be a way to crack Fallon's alibi, Lieutenant. There's got

way. How? He's got a whole church congregation lined up in Hadley just

to say he was there Sunday night and Monday morning.

His minister even called me and bet my ear about what a pillar of the community

he is.

Fallon's robbed a lot of trucks. He's made a lot of money.

Maybe.

Maybe they bought their own plane.

I'll check plane registrations in Idaho.

Good idea.

Where's Sammo? DMV test.

You again?

I'm ready to prove to you I can be a California driver, sir.

Drive on.

Fallon's got his own G3. We checked flight records. His plane took off from

Hadley at 5 .15 a .m. Monday, landed at Van Nuys at 7 .33 a .m. Giving him

plenty of time to pull the heist. Hey, did he file a return flight plan? Yes,

did. He's Van Nuys in a half hour. Not if we can help it. Let's get out there.

No part so good.

Dad, I'm going to get my license.

I think we can safely say that you... Oh, excuse me.

What? Louis?

Sorry. What is business?

All right, man, let's

get this bird in the air.

Bella, you want to jump on now? Get rid of him later. How about over at Salt

Lake City?

One way.

The companies that were robbed all belong to the same security association.

Which means they all submit bids to the same clients. Right.

So an insider at one company would have knowledge of the other company's roof.

How'd you peg with that?

He was our company's rep to the association, so I figured it was worth a

Wow.

It's a great job, Andy. Thanks a lot. Nice work.

Hey, look, I don't know if you're still interested or not, but I could put in a

call along these two and you'd do about getting it back on the floor.

Seriously? Honey!

Oh!

Oh, honey!

You okay?

Yeah?

Hi. It's good, Samuel.

Our volcano came in second.

Second? Who came in first?

Ten years later, his mom built him an asteroid.

Hmm.

Asteroid.

I wish we had thought of that.

Thank you.

Show me your volcano.

I apologize, Mr. Patel.

Don't, don't. I've never seen anyone drive like you.

Not even in New York. To know someone who can handle a vehicle like that is an

honor. Does that mean?

You will get your license in the mail, Mr. Law.

Oh, thank you.

You have inspired me.

I'm going back to New York.

I miss being a cabbie.

Okay, you big galoot.

Take me back to DMV.

Oh, no problem.

And this time, no police business.

Sure. Is this real leather interior?

You have a very beautiful eye. That reminds me of black pearls.

Stunning.

Computer, yeah.

Take a look at this.

Asteroid.

I wish we had... Understand?

Peckinpah started the real blood and guts thing in movies.

There's love, there's pain, there's violence.

I think Sam was a man completely out of his time.

The man who made the West walk.
