Tonight, on The Scent.

Is there anything else I can do for you? Can I take a shower at your place?

Get in the car! I don't work for you anymore.

That's the only way to clear the food, to deliver your head.

Where's your shuttle?

Found something better than you. Well, look out! Are you going to shoot me? I

don't think so.

In the jungles of Peru, the fight for survival heightened his senses.

Now, Detective James Ellison is a sentinel in the fight for justice.

Seeing before others see.

Sensing what others can't.

An ever -vigilant watchman in the war against crime.

Hey, Jim, look, I'm sorry I'm late. I was setting my car checked out. My

mechanic still can't figure out what's wrong with it. The department already

gave you a replacement. Why, Chief?

Let's go get a different one.

A different one? What are you talking about? You just don't replace the

man.

It's your nickel.

Anyway, I got to get going.

Look, just wait five minutes. I'll be right there. This is an important thing.

God, you're going to need me to back you up.

Jim, Zark's not going to go down tonight.

Why don't you just catch up with him tomorrow, okay?

Jim! Jim!

What the hell are you doing?

I'm moving into my new place.

I told you last week.

God, Chance, you're so thick.

I'm warning you, Iris.

Don't mess with my head.

It's over.

I got this really big deal coming up.

I need you.

Look, if you behave, we can still be friends.

Friends? Yeah.

Come on, Chance. Everybody needs friends.

I got friends.

Then throw yourself a party.

Listen. Hold my phone, honey.

Hold my phone.

Hey, man, watch out.

Let me help you here.

Thank you.

I'm getting... I could go to breathe in there.

Yeah, I can imagine.

It's none of my business, but how in the world did you manage the... My ex gets

really carried away sometimes.

Your ex?

Mm -hmm.

I'd say this is a little bit more than... No, we're having an argument,

know. He just gets carried away.

Who are you calling?

I'm calling the police. No, please don't do that.

What's the matter? You got a problem with cops?

Yes, I really do.

Thank you.

My parents were protesters in the 60s. They got beat up a lot. Yeah, I

understand.

My mom, she was a protester, too.

She was really heavy into the counterculture.

She still is, as a matter of fact.

Yeah.

Well, anyway, thank you for helping me. No problem.

You sure you don't want me to call?

Um, no.

It's fine. Thanks.

Okay.

Hey, is there anything else I can do for you?

Do you live around here?

Yeah, I do, actually. I live right up there.

Well, I'm moving in here, and they haven't turned on my water yet.

Could I take a shower at your place later?

Shower?

Yeah,

that'd be fine.

That'd be fine.

Sure.

There.

I have boxers.

He must be Jim.

I'm Iris, your new neighbor.

Blur's just helping me move.

All right.

Well, I don't mean to be rude, but I'm trying to get some rest. I've been up

night on a... On a big project. Right, Jim? Big project.

You see, Jim, he works for the city road maintenance.

He's one of the chief supervisors.

Right?

Right.

Excuse me.

Oh.

Hey, look at that. You know, that was actually a present from my mom on my

birthday. It once belonged to Jimi Hendrix.

That's a really nice line, Blair, but... Kind of.

To Naomi, my own Purple Haze.

You gave her this guitar?

That's right.

Come on, your mom and Jimi Hendrix?

They were pretty close.

Wow.

I would love to do some more jamming on that thing. I have an amp over at my

place.

You wouldn't mind if I... Of course you wouldn't.

Well, I'll tell you what.

You let me cook dinner for you tonight, and I'll let you borrow it.

All right. It's a date.

Yeah?

Good.

Thank you. Be gentle.

You got it?

You all okay there, Chief?

Yeah, yeah, I think I'll live.

Hey, um, you're still on stake outside, right? Yeah, why?

Perfect. Perfect for another train wreck and the ongoing disaster that is your

love life. Yeah, yeah, this is coming from a man who I've never known to date

the same woman twice.

Oh, he's talking shit.

Oh, yeah.

Why didn't you want her to know that I was a cop? She just got this thing

against cops.

No big deal.

Road maintenance, huh?

Road maintenance?

At least you made me a soup.

Yeah, you're welcome.

Hey, I have this can of grape leaves. Have you seen it? I got this recipe out

this Persian folklore book. They're these seven dishes that, when eaten

together, are supposed to create this amazing aphrodisiac effect.

You're personally testing this theory, are you? Yeah, and it will not work

without the grape leaves.

Where's your shadow? Found something better to do. Something better than

sticking out a strip joint?

You know, that place has women down there who wear nothing but thimbles.

Not to mention the $5 .95 special on roast beef.

Or at least that's what I heard.

All I'm saying is if you guys need an extra hand, I'm gonna... I think we got

covered.

Well, Jim, technically, since Sandberg's not gonna be there, we are a man down,

sir.

What time?

9 .30. Oh, I'll clear my calendar.

So where's Sandberg at going anyway?

He's cooking dinner for some girl he just met.

She's nothing fond of cops.

That's all right. I don't like cops either.

There's something familiar about this woman.

I've seen her somewhere before.

She's got a bad feeling about her.

Jim, you are taking this big brother thing with the kid way too far.

You've got to let him out on his own. Let him make his own mistakes.

He's got to fail once in a while.

If anything else, it'll build character.

God knows he needs it.

Hey, I was parked in a handicapped zone, but it was only for like five minutes.

Where are you? I'm downtown at the Kelly Center Garage.

I'll come get you.

Oh, Blair, that's sweet, but I already ruined dinner and... Don't be silly.

I'll be right there.

Hello? Chance, no. I told you.

Oh, yeah?

When?

Yeah. Actually, I could use the money.

No. No matter how the deal goes down, we're not getting back together.

Because. Because I'm already seeing somebody else. That's why.

Hello?

Chance?

And you wonder why I left you.

Yeah, I'll be there.

Would you look at this?

Robbery, extortion, suspected drug trafficking, grand theft auto.

I got the machine.

Leave a message and we'll call you back.

Stenberg, if you're there, pick up the phone.

Okay, listen, I hope you're having fun, but when you're done with dinner, would

you remember to count the silverware?

Why didn't you just tell him?

Not on the phone.

I mean, if she's listening, it might get ugly.

Besides, what can happen in one night?

Hey.

Thank you so much. Your lifesaver. No problem. We'll pick up your car. And

we'll go back to my place and eat.

I have to make a stop first, okay?

Uh, yeah, yeah, I guess.

It'll only take a minute.

Someone stop by and friendos me some money. It's on the way.

I try to get a little temperamental.

Can you wait here? My friend gets a little weirded out at strangers.

Sure.

No problem.

Sorry, kid. I thought you were somebody else.

Easy on the car, man.

Hey, Artie.

Feels a little different.

Start the car.

Yes, ma 'am.

You know, it works a little better if you're actually in the car.

Get in the car! Relax, Blair, relax!

What do you think I've got a gun?

What are you doing?

What is going on? Hey, get out of my car! Move! Calm down, all right? All

all right, calm down! Drive me out!

Drive me out!

Take a left on the 97th South.

Where are we going?

Shut up. Do what I tell you.

Iris, what is going on here?

Well, I guess I should have told you, but we needed a ride, and I didn't want

you to freak out. Yeah, well, I'm pretty freaked out now, so why don't you just

tell me what's going on?

Chance just stole a half a million dollars in uncut heroin from a guy named

Artie Park.

Oh.

You got a problem with him?

Interesting night, huh, Joe?

Yes, the worst night I ever spent.

Glad we got to do it again tonight.

Oh, yeah.

I'll check my calendar.

Can I see you a minute?

Go ahead, run it.

What do we got?

Sandberg and Iris?

Last night at 10 p .m., we got a call of shots fired, convenience store room 6.

Both the shooter and the intended victim got away.

Clerk saw the whole thing. Called 911.

Raven Brown went over to check it out, came back with this.

Simon, this can't be Sandberg. He doesn't carry a gun. Well, you and I

that. But we also know that he had a date with that girl. And the clerk said

that he saw them both get into a green 68 Volvo.

Now, how many of those can there be in Cascade?

One more straight, sir.

What's that?

The clerk said that he saw the girl get into the front passenger seat and the

guy get into the back.

So there's got to be a third person driving.

Well, it makes sense.

Hold it right there. Back it up.

You freeze it.

This guy uses his left hand to carry the gun. Sandberg's right -handed. Another

thing, Sandberg doesn't own a jacket like that.

Let me give him a call.

Don't bother. I already tried in the home, the university, every place I

think of.

He's not at his usual haunts.

I did put out an APB on his Volvo, though.

Thanks very much.

Simon.

Excuse me for a second.

Yes, sir. Clerk says you saw some kind of scuffle.

Bag was dropped.

Long -haired guy picked it up and took off.

Jim, listen. All we have here is a legal discharge of firearm.

Shooting took place around here. There was only one spent casing.

What is this?

What?

What? Maybe that's what was in the bag in the scuffle that leaked.

Drug deal?

Yeah, gone bad.

So maybe Iris and her partner took the heroin and used Sandberg's vehicle as a

getaway. He could still be with her.

Where'd you find that thing?

Fire sale?

For your information, pal, this car happens to be a classic.

Classic piece of junk.

Okay, honey. I'll see you later.

Rob said we can arrange the buy.

See where he's been all night?

Uh -oh.

Who's Rob?

My big brother.

Oh, isn't that beautiful?

That family that deals together stays together, right?

Yeah? Question.

Just what the hell do you think you're doing?

I don't work for you anymore.

I'll tell you what, I work for people and they work for people, so you try and

dump that stuff and someone's gonna know.

In the circles we travel in, word gets around pretty quick.

Word's out on you too, Chuck.

Okay, tough guy.

Guess the only way to clear this up is to deliver your head.

You're gonna have to find it first.

Let's roll!

Get in.

1968 Greenville sedan.

Request immediate backup.

Yeah, this is Banks.

What? Great, thanks.

I just spotted Sandberg's car on 35.

Which direction?

East, near Blackwood.

Yeah.

Where the hell did he come from?

Keep driving.

Go, go, drive.

Hey, what's going on up here?

What are you doing?

What are you doing, man?

That's a school bus, man. Slow down.

Look out.

Watch it. Look out.

You joking, man?

You all right, buddy?

I'm Detective Al.

What the hell's going on?

Chance.

Come on, Matt. Get us out of here.

Look, it's over, okay?

You can't keep running. You're just making it worse.

That's it!

I don't like your attitude.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. We got enough trouble. We don't want to leave any dead bodies

for the cops to find.

That's right, James. That's a good plan. You should listen to her, man.

Hey, come on.

Come on.

Parkman.

Parkman, let's go.

I don't know.

Get in.

What are you wasting time with me for, man? Why don't you just go after them?

You were there last night, sport. You saw my face. I don't get my stuff back.

You don't get to live.

Got it? Get in.

What do you got?

Did some checking on our friend Iris. Take a look.

Anything we can use?

Iris was picked up last year on suspicion in a drug trafficking case.

she was booked with was her brother. Name's Rob Johnson.

Now, the charges were eventually dropped for lack of evidence.

You think this guy Johnson's involved?

If heroin's what they were carrying, that's what he's suspected of dealing.

Said here he's a mechanic. Works out of a garage near Fremont.

Worth a look, don't you think?

You know, this car is a classic.

Yeah, we've heard.

You think you can throw it into the deal?

Sure.

Whatever you want.

Oh, dude.

Oh, she burns oil, huh?

Don't you want to see the stuff?

I'm just the middleman. Don't guarantee nothing.

If the buyer thinks trying to sneak him some bad stuff, he'll whack you.

Not me.

Uh -oh.

Somebody evil's been messing around under here.

So, uh, what time do you think these guys are going to show up?

About an hour or two. They're getting the money together.

There's TV and some food in the house if you want to kick back.

Got a bed?

I got that, too.

Great.

Hey, Aaron.

Once around the park for old times sake.

You come wake me up when you're ready.

Hey, take it easy. Take it easy.

Where are they?

I've already told you a hundred times, man. I don't know. Three seconds.

I swear to God, I don't know.

Three. Look, listen to me. I don't know.

One.

It's done.

It's for real.

Where are they? I can give you some fake set of directions, right?

Well, what good would that do either one of us? Where?

I don't know.

He's up on the gas.

Some guys have no right to call themselves mechanics.

Shut it off.

Yeah, hello?

I'm at a rest stop on the Cheltenham Highway, just west of the Middletown

and I got your little friend with me.

Now, if I don't get my merchandise back, I'm gonna kill him.

Got it?

Yeah, and what if I don't care?

You are a piece of work, babe.

You know, you really ought to be working with someone smarter than chance.

Is that an invitation?

Maybe.

Well, uh, I don't like smart men. I can't control them.

Might you'd hate me.

Now listen, I found you once, and believe you me, I can find you again.

But if you bring my merchandise to me voluntarily... Yeah, I'm listening.

I'll give you a chance with Cut.

Don't do it, man.

You can't trust this guy.

Yeah, but I trust myself.

Chance wasn't doing so bad with Park when he just got greedy and screwed

everything up.

Yeah, I'll be there in 15 minutes.

Hang on a second.

What's up?

Sandberg's car.

I can smell the burnt oil.

You sure?

It's a special synthetic stuff.

It's unmistakable.

I'll check the house.

I'll check the garage.

You'll never guess who I found.

That's the guy from the surveillance tape.

Hey, look, I don't know what's going on here, man.

We were kind of wondering ourselves.

Well, I swear, I'm not trying to put anything over you guys.

That stuff is right here.

And then that bitch, she takes off on me, right?

You guys, you're the ones that Rob called, right?

You're here to buy the stuff.

Where's Blair Sandberg?

Who?

I'm Jim Ellison. I'm with the Cascade PD. This is Captain Simon Banks.

You did answer the man's question.

Let's just try this again.

Where's Blair Sandberg?

Get in the car, Blair.

What are you going to do? Are you going to shoot me? I don't think so.

All right.

All right, so I was wrong.

I'm coming. Relax.

Calm down.

What do we need him for?

Well, I just thought of a new plan, and we need him to help us.

Oh, God.

Just occurred to me we were going to take the money to our bodies and smuggle

into Canada.

Why don't we just do the same thing with heroin?

Cool, just like Billy Hayes in Midnight Express.

You guys are crazy. Billy Hayes spent eight years in a Turkish prison.

Well, we're not in Turkey now, dude.

The guy's still not talking.

Send him back to the station. Let Detective Adams have a crack at it. This

Sandberg's car is leaking oil as well.

I don't mean to put a damper on things, Jim, but this is a garage. There's oil

everywhere. Trust me on this one, Captain.

Drops from leaving a trail.

I've got to tell you the truth about my friend Jim.

He works for the city, all right, but not in road maintenance.

He's a cop, all right?

And actually, I'm his partner.

I'm serious.

He's out there right now looking for me. There is no way you're going to get

away with this. She's awful sincere, man.

Yeah, right.

Now what do we do? Just stay calm. I'll figure it out.

Over there.

Come on.

Let's go, man.

Yeah. Come on, Blair. I thought you were dying to get naked with me.

It's not exactly what I had in mind.

Yeah, well, you gotta take what you can get.

Great idea.

Yeah, well, we'll just have to repackage it.

Repackage it how?

Um... Here.

Don't be such a baby.

You take the tape and you tape up your brother.

All right?

And then you take the rest of the heroin and you put it in the bag.

Hey, get this stuff off me.

Everything three ways, everything.

I'm not into threesomes.

Come on, baby, don't act until you try to.

Yeah, whatever.

Come on.

This way.

Good wine.

Hey,

sport, it's your unlucky day.

This is mine, too? Yeah.

What's that?

Go, move.

Move it.

Jim, what are we doing here?

Simon, that's Sanford's car. Now, I'm assuming they're planning to get on a

train here.

All right, I'll get on the horn. Call for backup.

You're never going to get the drugs through customs by yourself.

We'll have to go with my original plan.

Which is?

We tape the heroin to our bodies, smuggle it across the border, and when

there, my brother's got the connections to unload it quickly.

I've got my own contacts. Why should I risk bringing in your brother?

Because if anything happens to Rob, I'd be very sad.

And that would mean you wouldn't have the opportunity to get to know me

Which I'll bet is something you'd like to do.

Yeah, maybe.

What about him?

He's your call.

This is crazy, man. You're never going to get out of here with those drugs.

You might as well just throw them away.

Yes, as who?

Simon, I gotta go.

What are you doing?

Get him, Jim!

Moment of truth, babe.

Do it.

Not your way.

Oh, God, we're glad to see you.

Yeah, me too. And we're not done here yet, Chief.

And Sandberg, when you find her, forget about the seven -course meals.

Oh,

dear.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah.

Drive on that, sir.

So who is this putz, anyway?

His name is Artie Parkman. Would that mean anything to you?

No, no.

Hey, Simon, Jim, what's up?

So where's your girlfriend?

Oh, hey, you guys are going to love this.

You see, my mom, she always taught me to put things back where I found them.

Blair, you about done yourself this time, buddy. This stuff is great.

There's only one problem. I'm not getting turned down, man.

Ha, ha, ha. Very funny, very funny.

It's almost as funny as being in lockup for four hours. You were in my office

the entire time watching TV. I got booked. I got fingerprinted. I got

photographed. Do you know how humiliating that is?

It's just procedure, Chief.

You had half a million dollars worth of smack in the trunk of your car.

Lucky for you, Iris is more interested in putting Parkman and Chance away than

having her revenge on you.

If she hadn't corroborated your story right now, you'd be in a place with a

bunch of sweaty guys and no TV.

Or they'd take away your guitar strings.

Anything but that.

You know, I should stay in touch with her.

I mean, she's still pretty young, you know?

What she needs is a positive influence in her life.

Here's some dessert. A role model.

People change, you know?

Why don't you do yourself a favor, Romeo?

Get some therapy.

Well, it's not bad.

Hmm. It's the best of all.

What is it?

Well, actually, I take some dates, and I put them in water until they get really

nice and moist. Then I add a little lemon juice, a little sugar.

Then I take this, and I stick it underneath the sink for a couple weeks.

let it get real moldy. You know, when the fur starts growing on it, it's good

like that. And then I stick it into a blender, put a little maple syrup on it.

There you go.
