Original subtitles

Hey, yo, yo.

Man, this bitch got out some magic.

Mm-hmm. Living large in a penthouse right above the house of souls.

But you already been scheming on this biscuit.

It's Johnny Domino, local sax man.

Paper propped him last month.

It looks like he's getting close up right now.

Let's do it.

You what? You just jacked the car and then jet.

So that tune I heard this afternoon, you got any lyrics yet?

No, not yet.

Can I take a shot at him?

Sure.

What if you need backup?

My car won't handle us.

And I'll handle her.

Let's party.

Get in! Oh, you're a sucker!

Yeah, Johnny! What kind of animal are you?

What's up, money?

I'm the squad to eat your boat.

And your car keys.

Take it easy.

I'm cool.

Believe that.

What you say we cool out in your crib, money?

Clock out. You sure? Motor, baby.

Well, I hope you're feeling generous tonight, Mr. D.

Because you're going to have to give it up for the cars tonight.

Whoa. You know what you're doing?

I know how to point. I know how to shoot.

Call 911.

Where are you going?

Get in my car.

Payback time.

Cops, always around when you don't know.

Come on, turn, lose it.

Try to get a shot at you.

You'll never know how lucky you were.

This is Lieutenant Branca.

Back off that pursuit on the Prowler. Let him lose you.

The car has a satellite positioning system that can lead us to the whole

theft ring. Let him go. Do you copy?

Breaking off pursuit.

Unit 412 and 417, release the suspect.

It's Pinot Noir.

Fabulous. Mm-hmm.

Yeah, it's really rich and it's full-bodied.

It's kind of like drinking diesel fuel, isn't it?

Yeah, absolutely.

Okay. Here's to Tanya. You want to tell me why I've been talking to myself all

night?

I'm sorry. It's, um, it's Danny.

He in trouble again?

No, no, it's nothing new. It's just more of the same, him following Arthur's

lead.

I always thought Arthur was straight aces. Well, then you obviously knew him

before Desert Storm, because whatever went so damn well for all the other

troops over there didn't go so well for Arthur. You wouldn't even know it was

the same guy that came back.

Like what?

He came back angry.

And he's been one step ahead of the law ever since.

It's hard to believe.

You think, you know, maybe if I talk to him... Raleigh, I don't even care about

Arthur anymore.

You know, all I care about is keeping him away from Danny.

You know, it's pretty natural for a 15-year-old to look up to his big

brother. Well, he also looks up to you.

Or at least he did before Arthur came home.

You know, I was wondering if maybe you could help

me keep them separated. You know, help me keep Danny distracted.

For you, I'll make it a full-time job.

Well, you don't have to do that, but I'm sure it'd be nice seeing a lot more of

you.

You remember Raleigh?

Hey, how you doing? Hi, what's up, man? Good.

Have you seen Danny around?

I've been out. But he can handle himself.

Arthur, you promised me you were going to take care of him tonight.

Hey, I'm entitled to a life, too, okay?

Yo, what's up, yo?

You are, and it's after midnight on a school night.

Come on, sis. I'm just listening to some new jams.

Yo, bro, what's up, man? How you been? How you been? All right, man. Take care

of business. No doubt. No doubt.

Well, well, well.

Another $200 pair of sneakers.

Now, where did you get the money to buy those?

Uh, I gave it to him.

Yeah, yeah, Art hooked me up.

You been behaving yourself with my sister?

Arthur! Arthur, get out! I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Wait up, man.

I, um, I see what you mean about Danny worshipping Art.

Yeah, I kind of feel like there's a tug-of-war between us.

My feet are slipping just a little every day.

Johnny was incredible.

He was unbelievable. He was amazing.

I'm gushing, right?

Like Niagara Falls.

Hey, Lieutenant Veronica.

Where you been?

Taking a nap?

No. Went after my car.

What?

We located it.

One guy pick it up. No, you can't.

Don't tell me they wrecked it. I'm negative.

Yeah, I'm recovering.

I thought.

I mean, I hoped.

You've got a beam on your machine, John, but strictly for police eyes only.

You know, uh... Over your head. Yeah.

Probably confused the hell out of me.

Okay. Keep me posted.

Like you were spliced to my lips.

More money, more problems.

Brothers is hooked up tonight, man.

What the hell is that?

Dog, that right there, that's just a cloud of toxic waste.

They released that from the refinery. Secretly poisoning our community, man.

You're the one that's poisoning our community.

Who the hell said that?

The Black Knight.

I'm here to shut you down.

Well, then cap him, man.

Johnny, you home?

Johnny?

What's up?

Someone stole the prowler. Someone stole your car.

You find that amusing?

Uh, no. No, no. It's just ironic somehow. You know, major crime fighter

becomes a major crime victim.

Irony sucks.

Right.

I can't believe you got punked by some musician.

Goddamn, how are we supposed to know we're throwing down with some hardcore

kung fu diesel?

I told you to keep me around as your back. Man, he would have wrecked you

too. Trash talk on your own clock.

And your bail's coming out of the prowler money.

I got the car banked. They didn't trust me with the address of the shipping

point. That was my call.

You're just busting on the scene, bro.

Okay.

There's no way I could wheel it around in broad daylight.

A purple drop top with an APB out on it? You'll deliver it when I say so.

Sure.

But I don't want the dollars.

I'm clocking reduced.

Because they were half-stepping.

Understood. I'll call you by moving the car.

All right.

Later.

You ask me, this punk's shaming.

He didn't get whacked and end up in the slam.

Yo, you don't think he's just a little too down with our operation?

I'm going to let him earn his bones, wheeling that thing with 5-0 looking for

it.

You know, seeing you two days in a row makes it a fine week for me.

Although not exactly under the circumstances you'd probably prefer.

Geometry, Danny, remember?

I'm trying. It's kind of hard to concentrate on math with all this

biology in the room.

So no sign of it yet, huh? You think it's still in one piece?

Well, odds are it is.

Luxury cars like yours have been disappearing in droves from all over

town. They're being smuggled out of the country.

How? Driven to Mexico?

Yeah, sometimes, but here's the too flashy to roll across the border without

attracting attention.

My guess is it's probably somewhere local waiting to show up.

I hope you're right. I'll talk to you later.

Hey, guys.

Hey, Johnny.

Hey, Danny.

What's up?

You know, I know a much better place to concentrate on that stuff.

This pad is dope, man.

Thanks.

Want something to drink?

Uh, water sounds good.

Cool.

It should be a little quieter up here.

Yeah, yeah.

I can chill out, calm down, and relax.

Thanks a lot, man.

It's my pride and joy.

Check it out.

You listen to hip hop at all?

Yeah.

Anything else you need?

Just one thing.

Crank it.

That's the kind of quiet I always do my homework to.

I'm disappointed in your progress.

It's your problem. Unless we decide to make it yours.

I don't respond well to threats.

You want to take Carl out?

Cool. I got a contract to do that.

Unless you cancel it.

I didn't say that.

Then back off and let me work.

And don't call anymore these meetings.

Because I won't show up.

You gotta see this crib ace. This box alone's gotta be worth 10 Gs.

Boy, he's definitely mintin', man.

Yo, peep in this room. He's got all these saxophones. Gotta be worth a lot

of this president.

There's like some sort of thing on the counter here.

Can't quite figure out how to open it. Hold up a sec.

Whoa!

What's up with this, man?

Gotta go, dude.

Hey, hey.

How's it going?

Through here?

Good, good, because your sister, she's ready to go. Finish the rest of the

moves downstairs.

Let's go.

And now as you give a clap to the Gold Brother No.

1 over there.

Look here, sir, we're not trying.

But are you making any progress?

Yes, sir.

You know, luxury cars mostly leave the country by ship, which means they have

to pass through the harbor area.

So you can focus your search there?

We have, but that's a lot of warehouses and a lot of piers. We just don't have

the manpower or warrants to search there effectively.

You know what you need?

What? Is an eye in the sky.

Well, good luck getting a police chopper assigned to that duty.

This is art.

Yeah, I think I can find it.

This is Colville on Seca.

It's Lieutenant Branca. I just eyeballed that prowler on the hot seat.

He's moving south on Industrial Drive.

This is Branca. I'm in the area.

Scramble the local patrol unit to back me up.

Okay, we're done.

Not you.

Hello?

Hello?

Anybody here?

What kind of game is this?

Surprise, surprise.

Kind of disappeared.

No one

here. Try the next one.

Dead port, Lieutenant.

Who are you?

I've come for the car.

You challenging the Black Knight?

Black Knight?

Catchy. If that's the way you want it.

All right, let's do this.

We'll meet again.

A couple of loose chips, but it'll be good as new in about an hour.

There's something else.

When we were fighting, I didn't pick up any evil vibes.

Never punk a hard case, Carl.

They'll come back and bust a cap on you. I didn't.

Art, that's the real, I swear.

It was Dexter, man.

What about him?

He was there. He was there to show you the real shipping point.

He booked and the cops showed.

So you shammed me on the real address?

Standard safety procedure.

How did you get away?

I juked the Blue Bunnies and then pulled a fade.

Did you give up the ride?

Not even.

I still got the car booked.

All right.

We're going to move it tonight.

And I'm doubling your dollar.

Believe that.

This is what I was able to find out. According to one of my buddies at the

Pentagon, the most advanced in light absorption technologies combines

electromagnetic and chemical properties in one synergistic bundle, disrupting

the dispersal of light.

What, like those guys walking in a light tunnel?

Actually, it's more like a no-light tunnel.

You see, the electromagnetic properties of the suit absorb ambient light, while

the chemical component creates a cloaking action in the fabric. It's

similar to what's used in the stealth airplane technology.

He gave me a sample. Watch.

Ordinary ballpoint pen.

Add the fabric with a mini battery inside it to produce a charge, and then

I activate it.

That's it.

That's what a suit does.

Yeah, probably, though, on a much larger scale.

The question is, how did this dude get his hands on this?

You see my game, boy?

No. Come on, sis. Let me bash it again so I do my homework. Where is it?

Have you asked Arthur? He's the big game player.

Oh, you know what? I gotta go. My yoga class is starting.

See you later.

Arthur!

Hey man, who's that next?

Hey, check the kicks on this little poser. Gotta see the outs first, hacker.

Unless you're afraid to back to this. Wait, enough.

Ready? Oh, I'm ready.

What a surprise.

Actually, I was hoping I could find Danny.

Oh, why? Is there a problem?

No, no, no. I was just thinking maybe we could spend a little time together. You

know, bonding.

Oh, that is nice, but I'm sorry you went to play game of basketball.

Oh, you know, that's cool. Don't even worry about it.

I'll catch up with him.

Okay? Okay. I'll see you later.

Okay.

Where the hell were you lame asses when Art snuck in here and stuck a piece in

my grill, huh?

Never mind.

You just go sit on him 24-7.

And no more surprises.

No problem, baby. We got you. All right. Let's get out of here.

Hey, Danny, could I talk to you for a second, man?

Danny, hold up.

I need to talk to you. What about, man? Do your homework in Johnny's loft.

I can't right now. I got to be somewhere. I'll talk to you later, all

right?

I'm never having kids.

All of my life I've been searching

But I could never find love that would hold on forever.

And that's to the end of time.

Baby, you know I've been let down.

Every time I know.

Now that I've found love.

Now that I've found

love.

Is Raleigh around?

I'll see if I can track him down.

All right. Thank you.

Hey, sorry about this, but re-interviewing with these policies.

He's here.

Who? The guy who stole Johnny's car. He's at the bar. Look.

I just said he wore a mask.

He also wore an onyx ring that is exactly like that.

Yeah, Lieutenant Bronco.

Officer needs assistance at the House of Soul.

Please.

Hands on the bar.

Do it now. What's this about?

Talk about it on the way down to him.

Stand up.

Threaten.

Go.

Johnny, I caught the guy who stole your car.

You heard.

Art getting arrested?

Yeah. This family's wearing me out, man.

Something else missing.

Okay. Look, those new night vision glasses I've been working on, are gone.

Why keep it a secret?

Because I know where they went, and I want you to let me handle this on my

own, okay?

You sure you're not mixing your feelings with good judgment?

I don't know anymore.

The more I find out about Art, the less I understand.

Tanya told me he was an honors graduate at West Point, and he won a Silver Star

in Desert Storm.

But you said the military ruined him.

Maybe it did.

Art commanded a unit that captured an Iraqi arms depot that was also a secret

stash for chemical weapons.

When they got sick, the government stonewalled him on compensation.

That's why Art left the service.

I could see why he turned on them.

See, though, that's the thing. He didn't. He still behaved like a hero.

That's because he is a hero.

What? You know what West Point calls their sports teams?

Black Knights.

Yeah, so?

So Arthur Bryson is the Black Knight.

That doesn't make any sense, Johnny. I mean, he committed armed robbery. He

stole your car.

Remember, I didn't get any evil vibes from him.

So he must have been working undercover, or was, before we got him arrested.

Well, I can't believe what I'm hearing.

You were on my butt hourly.

Find your machine. And now that I have the perp, you want me to go easy on him.

Not convincing the guy.

Not your problem.

Look, once Art puts a little time in this white box, he'll give up the

prowler.

That's, um, assuming it's still in one piece.

Lieutenant Bronco, I'm Inspector Grant.

Ah, and what can I do for our esteemed federal branch of law enforcement?

I need a word.

Alone. I'll talk to you there.

Wait a minute, John.

Let's get right down to business, Lieutenant. You arrested one Arthur

Bryson today.

We need him out.

Well, it just so happens he's involved in an armed felony.

Which is only a small part of a much bigger and more important picture.

I have no problem going over your head. I just thought you'd deserve to be

notified first.

I see.

And does this notification extend to what kind of undercover operation you

are conducting in my town?

Sorry. You need to know only.

I'll expect him on the street within an hour.

It starts loading tomorrow morning.

All the vehicles gotta be in their containers tonight.

Art's here to see you.

Yo, I saw him get rousted two hours ago.

Alright, send him in.

I'm upset about the bus.

Yo, Art.

What's up, my man?

My time on the hook with this stolen car.

What's the matter?

You got more heat coming down on you?

Not yet.

Okay, time to stop faking the funk and take care of some business.

We got a shipment loading tonight.

Warehouse, tier nine.

Think you can get that drop top there?

Not a problem.

All right, I'm out.

Yo, you the man, baby.

Bye.

Yo, I can't believe you told him the real.

I mean, what if he riffs on us?

If he were working with 5-0, they would never have popped him and then cut him

loose, huh?

Either he's in business for himself or he's working for the competition,

playing both sides against the other.

So you think he's going to bring the car?

Sure.

He'll bring the car.

He wants the clock, his dollar.

And then he'll turn around and riff on us for more cake.

Except he's never going to get the chance.

Here you go.

Thanks, guys. No problem.

Hey,

bro, you going out?

It's none of our business, Danny.

Okay, so you're still mad about the shoes, all right? I just thought I

should let you know there's some cops staked out in the corner.

Man, it's too dark to even see the corner.

It's an unmarked Dodge Intrepid with a female coffin sign.

Where'd you get those?

Uh, Johnny Domino's.

I gotta go.

We're square though, right?

We're more than square, man.

We're family.

But stay out of my stuff, alright? Alright.

Hey, say, uh, you ever gonna tell me about those shoes, man?

Probably not.

Aunt's in the house.

Said I'd be here.

You a man of your word, dude.

So am I.

I'm gonna give you all the cake from this, baby.

Make up for the static you caught.

Thank you very much.

No problem, man.

I take pride in giving my squad their due.

Just wheel that thing over by the empty container over there, and I'll give you

a lift back to town.

Good.

You'll be here in a second.

Get ready.

You again.

Take it easy, Art.

Or should I call you Black Knight?

I think we're on the same side.

What side is that?

The side that warns the man that his friends are waiting to ambush him.

Carl.

See for yourself.

There's three of them behind those crates.

Got an idea?

You have the suit on right there.

I'm only going without it.

You met.

You did good work.

Likewise.

You know, Danny, he's left some pretty big footprints to follow him. Nothing I

can't handle. Let's go.

Yo, Raleigh, hold on, man. Yeah.

Uh, kind of got something that belongs to you here.

Is this what I think it is?

Yeah. Kind of borrowed them without asking.

Which would be called theft, Danny.

I know.

I'm sorry, man. It won't happen again, all right?

All right.

So, uh...

You build them most for the government?

Yeah, they're the most likely buyer, but until they're perfected and under

patent, they're strictly top secret. Because they're a prototype.

Oh, what do you know about prototypes?

Oh, that's right, that's right. Art told me about you finding the shoes.

Shh, it's top secret, right?

You know, you keep yourself straight, you'll be building your own prototype

sooner than you know it, man. That'd be cool. We already got a teacher and a

lawman in the family.

Cool. Right on.
