[music]

>> Hi.

Open for business.

You guys just stay cool.

I'll do the talking.

>> [music]

>> I don't see Jake. He's probably not with

them.

Probably afraid to show.

Today's a good day to kick his ass.

Okay.

Let me see it again.

Hey, forgive me. I'm jealous.

Christie, that is beautiful. You must

feel like the luckiest woman in the

whole world.

You know, when I first met Nick Taylor,

I thought

now there's a man who's going to make

some woman very, very happy. Well,

you're right on that one.

So, when's the wedding? December 19th.

You know, I never thought I'd marry a

cop.

Okay, time to go to work.

And I thought it was only going to be a

couple of kids passing phony $20 bills.

Well, we'll see.

Jimmy.

Long time no see.

Where's Jake? Jake's taking care of

business and he sent me.

>> [laughter]

>> What do you got him running the press?

All right. Let's see what you got,

cowboy.

Come on. You know it's good paper.

>> [music]

>> It's the best damn paper on the West

Coast.

Don't get cocky,

delivery boy.

Look, I don't have time for this

[ __ ]

Pay me [music] and it's yours.

Yeah, well,

that's what I wanted to talk to Jake

about. There's nothing to talk about.

It's 25¢ on the dollar, take it or leave

it.

What the hell do you care? Have Jake run

the printer for an extra 5 minutes,

we're all happy. No exceptions.

Look, Mr. Bentania has been doing

business with your people for a long

time. Loyal business.

And you never giving them one friendly

discount.

>> Two things. One, we ain't friends. And

two, you want a discount?

Go to Kmart. Now, either you're buying

or I'm flying, you dirty son of a [ __ ]

[ __ ] you.

Deal's off.

Let's go.

I don't think so, Jimmy.

You better call for backup.

Yeah.

Hey, look. Look, we don't want no

trouble.

Just call your dogs off. I know where

you print this [ __ ] [ __ ]

You don't play by our rules, we'll wipe

you out of the game.

Oh.

What the hell happened?

>> [music]

[music]

>> Freeze.

Come on. Clear it.

Jimmy, freeze.

Jimmy with the gun.

Jimmy, freeze.

>> [music]

>> Come on.

Freeze.

Freeze.

Freeze.

Freeze.

Freeze.

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> Where do you think you're going?

Please. Please don't hurt me. I'm sorry.

Give me one good reason not to kill you.

You shot me, [ __ ] I don't know what

I was thinking. I'm sorry. Please.

Where'd you get the fake money?

>> I don't know.

Wrong answer. Bettany

Charles Bettany. What about him?

Bettany buys it.

He knows where it's made.

Good evening. Ladies, please watch your

step. Thank you.

Good evening, ladies.

May I check your purses, please?

Is that necessary? [music]

House rules.

What do we have here?

Personal protection.

It stays at the door.

Do I even need to ask to see your purse?

Why don't you hold on to this for me?

Okay.

Now, have either one of you ever been to

one of Mr. Bettany's parties before? No,

this is our first time.

Okay.

Mind your p's and q's. Be very nice to

the gentleman. You need to adjust mine.

Okay?

Party.

>> Hugo? Yes, sir.

And they were packing.

Really?

How intriguing.

Evening.

My name is Charles. Charles Battaglia.

Welcome to my humble abode. Hi, I'm

Candy. How sweet. I haven't seen your

face before.

To my great misfortune.

It's quite a party you have going on

here.

Oh, I throw a bash once a month for my

closest business associates. What line

of business are you in?

This and that. As I was saying, my

associates like to indulge in the finest

of pleasures.

Is that why we're here?

I like to think of it as a cooperative

effort.

Ladies are invited to indulge themselves

in the vice of their choices.

In the process, they make my customers,

my associates, more comfortable.

Well, your associates seem quite

satisfied.

How about you, Mr. Battaglia? Call me

Charles.

Will you come this way, please?

So, tell me

Charles, where are your manners? I left

them at the door.

But you were such a gentleman before.

You talk too much.

I'd rather you show me what else you can

do.

For a measly $5,000?

Measly?

My

What a confident lady.

Come here.

Here.

Indulge yourself.

What are you looking at? You've never

seen a hundred-dollar bill before?

Who invited you anyway?

A good friend of yours, Lenny G.

You're under arrest.

You stupid

You stupid woman.

Go ahead, shoot.

The gun is empty.

Go on, shoot.

She's a cop.

Let's get out of here.

Stop them, they're cops.

Finish him, piece of [ __ ] You just

killed a cop.

>> I'm going to smash that counterfeiting

ring of yours. It's not my ring. I don't

deal it, I just buy it. Who deals it?

Answer me before I I'll your [ __ ]

head off.

His name is David. It's his operation.

It's not my ring. Keep talking. It's 240

Mac on the old warehouse district.

But I can't promise you that anybody

will still be alive when you get there.

Money, money everywhere. Lena,

what do you say we scrape off a few

bills off the top, get us a flight to

Rosarito Beach, lose ourselves in a

bottle of Cuervo Gold, and if you're

good, I'll let you swallow the worm.

In France, we have a term for men like

you, Jack.

Yeah, what do you call that?

American.

She's worse than my old lady, Jack.

Yeah, but I bet she's worth it, right,

Sims?

David,

your new place have tripled our business

in the last month.

That's because they're perfect.

They are

purer. I expect a larger cut.

Much larger. Of course you do.

You're my right hand. You're my partner.

I'll take care of it. I don't need

anyone to take care of me. I want what's

coming to me. Nita, without me you'd

still be whoring for a living.

I was doing fine before I met you. And I

was never a [ __ ]

You bounced from millionaire to

millionaire like a ping pong ball, Nita.

That's a [ __ ] in my book. But it

doesn't matter.

That's the past. And I took you away

from it. So don't tell me what I owe

you.

Understand?

Okay, let's get these out in the truck.

>> [music]

>> It's too much to carry.

Hey man, can you move this out of the

Clear it out of the way, sir.

What the

No, come on.

Attention all units, be advised we have

a stolen squad car heading east on

Figuero.

Attention to Edward Mary.

That's you two [ __ ] up in front

[music] of us.

Oh,

the screws, man. We're dead.

All right, hold on.

Thanks.

They took a right.

I'm hitting them off at the pass,

darling.

We lost him, man.

We lost We lost him.

Roger.

Oh,

[ __ ]

Freeze! What the hell we going to do

now?

Half our cash was left behind.

Cops will trace the numbers and then

everything we have will be worth [ __ ]

We have to dump it all ASAP.

I sent Tommy to sell as much as

possible.

Did you at least save the plates? Yes.

I have them.

Where are they? They're safe. Where?

I said they're safe.

Do you know what the penalty for having

this much counterfeit dough is? This

much? Yeah. I I was hitchhiking and he

picked me up.

In a stolen police car.

20 years in the state penitentiary,

[ __ ] Now, give me a name. Call me

Tommy. Tommy who?

Tommy Johnson.

Hi, Wade. Oh, [ __ ]

Long time no see. Uh hey, look, man. I'd

love to stay and chat and everything,

all right, but, you know, I got to go.

You look nervous, Wade. Not back on

crack again, are you?

[ __ ] no, man. I just say no to that

[ __ ] you know what I mean? Crack kills,

right?

Hey, why you hacking at me like this

for, man? What I'm not doing anything.

I'm just standing here being cool, man.

I'm I don't know anything. I don't know

anybody, man. You seem a little

paranoid, Wade.

>> Paranoid? No, I'm not paranoid. You

paranoid? You paranoid? I'm not

paranoid. Relax, Wade. We're looking for

your old partner, Tommy Johnson. He

wasn't at home. We thought you might

know where he is. It seems he's passing

some fake bills.

No, man. I don't know. I don't know

where he is, man. I I don't got any

counterfeit 20s or anything. Didn't say

you did. Did I say that, McKay? No, he

mentioned it himself.

That sounds like probable cause to me.

What do we have here, Wade?

Is that money real, Wade?

Get off of me, man. Hey, what's that in

your hand? That's not the only one you

got with that [ __ ] man. Tommy came in

here and passed that [ __ ] out. Everybody

in the bar has that stuff, man. Just me,

man. That guy has some. That guy has

some. Him. Everybody, man.

Get out of the way.

>> Wait.

You don't look too good.

Ooh, I bet that's going to hurt.

You shot me, man.

This sucks.

I think you'll live.

So, where's Tommy?

No, he's staying at his girlfriend's

over on Orange and Wilshire.

[ __ ]

Hey, wait.

Congratulate

I'm getting married.

Freeze. Hands on your head.

Oh, man, what are you doing?

We doing them wrong?

Oh, yeah?

What's that?

Well, that's a little cocaine. Other

than that, we're doing nothing.

Hey, Nick.

Keep forgetting. Are these things legal?

Oh, probably not any more legal than

this.

Hey, man, that that money ain't even

real.

Oh, [ __ ]

I didn't mean that.

Tommy.

I think we need to talk.

Hello.

Hi, Tommy.

Who are these people?

What do I look like, a rat?

You're my very good friend.

I'm telling you they're cool.

They had better be. I'm trusting you.

I'll send Nina.

Right.

That's it.

Tommy.

You're beautiful. Isn't he great? A

model citizen.

You need to make a delivery.

To who? Tommy.

I don't trust that bastard. I told you

we got to get rid of this [ __ ]

Well, Tommy's already sold what he has

and now he's got another buyer.

But he needs the paper. Besides, you're

not supposed to trust him. You're

supposed to trust me.

I'll pick up the guys on the way.

>> [music]

[music]

>> Ready, boss.

Almost.

Now I'm ready.

Me, too.

>> [music]

>> Ladies [music] and gentlemen, the museum

will be closing in 10 minutes. Please

start making your way towards the front

entrance. [music]

>> [music]

>> We got a problem. No kidding.

Going after the girl. So, what else is

>> [screaming and groaning]

[music]

>> Haven't had enough yet?

Got you.

>> [music]

>> Yeah.

He's gone.

Not quite.

Drop your gun or I'll kill you.

I'll do it, Chris. Let him go.

I swear to god, I'll kill him.

>> [music]

>> Drop it. Now.

All right.

Don't leave me.

>> [music]

>> Nina.

What are you doing here?

You set me up.

What?

We had a partnership.

And you sold me out.

Nina!

Get your hands off me!

Keep him out there.

Just give me one reason, [ __ ] Just

give me one reason.

Miss Maggie, what a pleasant surprise.

You're retired.

I guess you'll be hitting the singles

bars again.

I'm sorry as for your wedding plans.

Don't take it personally. I don't even

know you.

You were just in the wrong place at the

wrong time.

Well, actually he was.

Why did you come here?

Well, I guess you're not much of a

talker today.

So, I excuse myself.

Good day.

Why?

I beg your pardon. Did you say

something?

Why did you do it?

Why did you kill him?

That's a fair question.

I did it because

I wanted to.

Any more questions?

I think you killed him for the same

reason you killed everybody else.

Because you couldn't kill that one man

you really wanted to.

Your father's already dead.

I see you've done a little research on

me, Ms. Mackey.

God, you're so smart.

Yes, my father beat me. He abused me.

And now I'm displacing [music] my rage

on every man that crossed me.

Your father beat you because you killed

your mother. It's a lie and you know it.

She died giving birth to me. I didn't

kill my mother.

Well, your father seemed to think so.

Yes, he did.

And he died before I was old enough to

realize he was wrong. You're a pathetic

little woman, Nina.

So, you came here to tell me I'm

pathetic? No, I came here to tell you

that you're damn lucky that these bars

are between us.

And you better pray it [music] stays

that way.

Well,

it might not stay that way.

Have you ever been in prison, Ms.

Mackey?

I suppose not.

It's very cold.

Very lonely.

Very dismal.

An empty cell.

A chair with no one to sit in it.

Out of sheer desperation,

you end up talking to yourself,

holding entire conversation with

no one.

That's what it's like to be alone, Ms.

Beckett.

Get used to it.

Nina Lindell was escorted out [music] of

the courthouse tonight, where she was

convicted for the murder of police

sergeant Nicholas Taylor. Nina Lindell

was literally attacked right on the

courthouse steps. Her attacker was none

other than Detective Christine McKay,

the fiance of the murdered officer.

McKay, I know what you're going through.

But there's no god damn excuse.

I'm going to do what I can to prevent an

IA investigation.

>> Yeah, just what we need. Internal

Affairs crawling up our asses.

>> Knock it off.

McKay,

you may have to take a vacation until

this blows over.

I quit.

McKay, come on. It doesn't have to come

to this. Probably better this way,

McKay.

Maybe we won't lose any more cops.

>> I'm uh looking for someone named McKay.

Hand me my paper.

Pardon?

My paper.

You're stepping on it.

I didn't uh

think I was going to make it. The

police were arresting some gang kids up

the uh street.

Um

You hear about drive-by shootings in

neighborhoods like this.

So, is uh Mr. McKay here?

No.

No? We had an appointment. My secretary

set it up. I'm McKay.

You're

You're this McKay?

Do you have a partner?

Do you want protection or not? Well,

yeah, I need a bodyguard, but uh to be

frank, you don't think anybody want a

bodyguard who's a girl.

I mean, do you think you can handle it?

I doubt it.

My lawyer's going to hear about this.

>> [music]

>> Mayors of Jefferson prison and so forth

escaped.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

[groaning]

>> Yeah, yeah, I'm coming. Relax.

I thought you were in the slam. What are

you doing here?

What do you think? I want my money.

All right, your money. I'll get it.

Have you seen Jake? I'm looking for him.

No, I haven't seen Jake. You know,

things got real hairy after you got

busted. Clients got real paranoid.

What is this?

It's your money.

I had $17,000.

I told you.

The clients got paranoid.

No one was taking the Play-Doh. The [ __ ]

was useless.

All right? This guy offered me 200 bucks

for the whole lot.

$200 for 17,000?

For 17,000 [ __ ] dollars. Hey, I did you

a favor. And now, I'm going to do you a

favor.

I do.

So, you're going to get off your ass

[music] and do something today.

I mean, look at this place. It's a dump.

Why don't you like take out the trash or

sweep the floor.

Get some order in this place.

The place stinks, Flash. You just sit

there

day after day after day.

Don't you miss life?

Well,

neither do I.

Do you think people get second [music]

chances?

Well,

doesn't matter anyway, cuz if you screw

it up once,

>> [music]

>> you're just going to screw it up again.

Yeah.

This is Christine McKay of McKay

Protection Services.

Yes, can I help you? It's Christine

McKay to see you at Lawton Hobbs.

Excuse me, can you tell me where Lawton

Hobbs is?

Oh, you must be the plumber. Yeah, he's

round in the back. You can just go on

in.

>> [music]

>> Where's Latn Hobbs?

Oh, he's right over there. Are you the

plumber? The cabana toilet is totally

clogged. No, I'm not the plumber.

I need a partner.

Hey, who wants to play with me?

Excuse me. Are you the plumber? No, I'm

not the plumber. What, some sort of

singing telegram? You wish. Christine

McKay.

Oh, excuse me.

I'm sorry. I I Forgive me. I'm Latn

Hobbs, and I want to thank you for

coming.

Say, do you play ping pong? Because I

need a partner. I don't play ping pong.

Oh, nonsense. Everybody plays ping pong.

Come on.

All right.

0-0.

So, here's the deal. I'm an

entrepreneur, an investor, and a kind of

sewer.

Yeah. Now, come on, McKay. help me out

here.

01

As I said, I'm a connoisseur, a

connoisseur of the opposite sex.

I love women.

Women of all kinds. I love them.

Beautiful, plain, sweet, come on, sexy,

sleazy, sophisticated. I like women in

leather. Is there a point to any of

this?

>> I'm sorry. I got carried away.

Yes.

Last year I was dating this woman. We

got very serious and almost married her.

After a series of bad events, I found

out she was certifiably insane.

So, naturally I broke it off.

So, you want protection from the psycho

ex-girlfriend. She murdered a man.

I refused to pay for her lawyer.

She got life.

She swore revenge, which I didn't worry

about until last night.

She broke out of prison.

What's the name of this woman? Oh,

that's why I want you.

It's Nina L'Indelle.

>> [music]

>> I didn't come here to play games.

Hey.

McKay.

How do you know she escaped? Don't you

read the paper? Do you know what

happened between L'Indelle and I? Of

course I do. You know, and yet you still

have me playing ping pong?

Look,

I need a bodyguard and you're the best

person for the job.

>> Get someone else.

Look,

I thought you'd jump at this

opportunity.

It's about time you showed up.

>> This is Goddard.

Why didn't you tell me Lindell escaped?

First of all, McKay, you're not a police

officer anymore. It's none of your

business. Second of all, I'm not your

message service.

I'll call you back later.

Hey, is that plumber here yet? Yes, I

believe he's upstairs in the bathroom.

Jesus, lady. I'm just here to fix the

toilet. Get out.

Hey, partner, it's a toilet like a

banana.

You got something against plungers?

Nina.

What a pleasant surprise.

Still a cocky bastard.

You haven't lost any of your charm, I

see.

>> [music]

>> Nina, so many good memories in this

bedroom.

You sure you want to spoil [music] them

like this?

You know exactly what I want.

Where's Hobbs?

Upstairs.

Deja vu, Miss Mackey?

Get him.

>> Look, Isaac.

You don't have to play dumb with me.

I know you're an arrogant son of a

[ __ ]

So, just tell me where Nina is cuz I

know damn well you know.

I'm losing my patience here.

I'm definitely losing my patience.

You don't want that to happen.

Get him on the air.

We're talking about an escaped cop

killer, Mr. Hobbs. I don't need to tell

you how dangerous this one is. No [ __ ]

Captain.

I dated her for a year and a half.

Look, I have detectives specially

trained to this kind of thing. I want

McKay.

I can't authorize that. You don't have

to. I'm hiring Ms. McKay as my personal

bodyguard.

Mr. Hobbs,

this is Sergeant Ostendorf.

He's one of my best men, sir.

I don't know how many times I have to go

into this,

but I want McKay. That's why I'm hiring

her.

Let me get this straight.

You want a woman protecting you?

Yeah.

Who would you rather be with 24 hours a

day?

He's a qualified professional. Yeah, but

he's not as cute. Sorry, sergeant.

You're not funny. Look, I know you have

to do whatever you can to bring Lindell

in, but I don't want a bunch of renegade

cops hanging around my house eating

donuts. I want somebody who's dedicated,

I want somebody who has a personal stake

in this, Hello. and I want somebody who

can give me a massage once in a while.

I can't believe I'm on your side.

You're the cockiest person I've ever

met. Didn't know you were impressed.

It's not a compliment. Yes, it is.

Hey, McKay. Wait up.

Listen, if you find something out, I

want to know.

You're not an investigator.

You want to change that?

Come and talk.

Try to take care of this one a little

better than your last boyfriend. Shut

up.

What?

Here.

Let me get that for you. It's no

problem. I want to.

She's kind of cute, isn't she? Yes, sir.

Here you are.

Don't you have butlers for that? They're

busy.

Room okay?

It's fine.

Make the house yours. Use everything.

Pool, jacuzzi, game room.

Everything a growing playboy needs.

Not everything.

Excuse me?

So, how did you meet up with Lindell? Uh

we have mutual business associates.

What kind of business?

Am I on trial here? Should you be?

I have enough real money, Ms. McKay. I

don't need the fake stuff. You didn't

answer my question.

Plastics.

Plastic forks, plastic spoons, knives,

cups. Plastico Incorporated, my father

founded it.

You've ever been on a picnic, McKay?

You probably ate your peanut butter and

jelly sandwich off one of my plates.

Plastic.

It fits.

You know, having this around is not

going to help.

Suddenly you're a psychiatrist? You're

just easy to read.

Listen up, Hobbs. I'm not here for you

to read me. I'm not here to play ping

pong. I'm here to keep you safe. So, if

you want to flirt, just go find one of

your little playmates.

I'm not interested.

Natasha.

You remember their names?

Breakfast is tomorrow at 9:00.

Bring your good cheer.

Hey, Hobbs.

We have a problem.

Who called the plumber?

My staff takes care of that.

I know my staff for years, Clayton all

my life.

Bleach somewhere else.

Isaac Berry.

He's in my group of 10.

Would you do me a favor and keep an eye

on McKay?

The woman is a tight wire. If she snaps,

God help whoever's around her. God help

her if she's around me.

What do you have against this lady? Off

the record? Yes. There's a war going on

in the streets, Kathleen. Now, I don't

want a female sitting me at a desk

pushing pencils, but um I don't want one

in the battlefield with me.

Hey, it's the '90s. Women I put up with

that [ __ ] anymore.

What the hell is

Well, well, well, look who's back in

town. I've been looking for you. Been

right here, darling.

Let's talk.

You know, ever since the shop went down,

no one seems to know where the plates

have disappeared. Well, you know,

stranger things have happened. I want

the plates. Well, I don't have the

plates. Maybe you ought to go talk to

Hops.

I'm working on that.

Are you hiding something from me?

Listen, baby, if I had these plates, do

you think I'd be sitting here in this

dive?

Sorry, I'm in a little panic.

You know, when a man gets out of the

joint, he's got a whole lot of pressure

he wanting to be releasing.

I think that's all you need. What do you

say, uh

I've got this burning fire in my pants

right now.

Well, maybe we should put it out. Yeah.

[ __ ]

[ __ ]

Did I extinguish the fire? No [ __ ]

Let me put it back.

Holy [ __ ] Jesus!

Jesus!

Fire them up, [ __ ]

Pop them up, [ __ ]

Excuse me. Who watches the monitors?

Klein is supposed to, but usually no one

does.

>> Clayton. Who called the plumber

yesterday?

I did, ma'am.

Your alarm system's off.

You have a security system,

but no one's watching the monitors.

>> That's my responsibility, ma'am. I

apologize. I don't want an apology. I

just want you to do your job.

Yes, ma'am.

That's what I like to see. Starting the

day off on a good note.

You look nice this morning.

That's what I call a compliment.

Generally responded to with a thank you,

or perhaps just a smile.

Now, a smile is a facial expression

displaying certain pleasant emotions

like happiness or affection. I bet you

can do it if you try. Stop acting like a

child.

I'm going to hold my breath until you

smile.

Why is it that people like you are the

ones that have so much money?

Remind me to compliment you more often.

Mr. Hobbs' mother died giving birth to

him.

Lawton's father died of a heart attack

when he was 12.

It's my speculation that his childhood

was taken from him at far too young an

age.

Would you like some eggs?

No.

Thanks.

>> It's a great investment, L 8. This is

the deal of the century.

>> I'm up to my ears already. Do you think

that Las Vegas really needs another

casino? Ah, but this casino will cater

only to the upper echelons of society.

Dick and Jane from Duluth, Michigan.

It's a sweet deal. The kind of sugar

daddy likes.

Excuse me. I was wondering how much of

your own money you have invested in

this, Mr. Hong Kong. Who's this? Your

girlfriend? Or your financial advisor?

She's my bodyguard.

Bodyguard?

And to answer the lady's question, Mr.

Hong Kong,

how much of your own money you got in

this?

Well, let's say I have invested in a

bond.

Get down.

>> [music]

>> Stay here. Stay down.

Watch out.

Watch out. You want to get killed?

That's your business. But before you

die, will you please sign this card?

>> I talked to the doctor.

He can't help you.

But, he did recommend a good blacksmith.

It's a good smile. I must be suffering

delusions.

You got a good smile. You should use it

more.

Why do you have to be such a flirt?

It's a compliment.

I'm not flirting.

Oh, yeah, right. You're a You're a

connoisseur of women. That's a title

bestowed upon me by multitudes of women.

Yeah, multitudes. I'm sure. Mhm.

Who surround me because of my

>> Let me guess. Because of your incredible

charm.

Because of my money.

It could be your charm.

How did a woman as attractive as you get

to be a cop?

>> [snorts]

>> Now, see, that's charming.

A bit sexist. A little sexism keeps

women on their toes. Typical male

statement.

>> Typical female reaction.

>> [music]

>> Men and women are different. Why do you

want them to be the same? Who said I

want them to be the same?

You know, I didn't want to be a cop

forever.

I thought

someday I'd raise a family.

Just didn't turn out like [music] that.

Get some sleep.

So, what do you think about her,

Clayton?

She's decent.

You think she's better than my last

girlfriend, Shelly? Kelly? Kelly? Yes.

How about Sandy?

Absolutely. Katerina?

Most definitely.

I think so, too.

You're welcome.

This young lady is very

>> Ah.

Yeah. Mhm.

I'm going to get myself some coffee.

Would you like some? I'm fine.

Well, Clayton. Yeah?

Thank you.

Who is the tea for? Mr. McKay.

Mhm.

Oh, dear.

>> [music]

>> Mhm.

>> Can I get you anything else? No, that's

fine. Thanks.

Wait.

Wait a second.

Maria, could you try this for me?

I'm sure it's fine, sir. I just want to

make sure that it's hot enough.

What's going on here?

I didn't hire you, did I?

Nina did when she lived here.

>> [screaming]

[music]

>> I'll call the police.

Clayton,

I was wrong about you.

I'm sorry.

No apology is necessary, ma'am. You're

good for Lawton,

and whether you realize it or not, he

may be good for you.

Guess I owe you a thanks.

Don't owe me anything.

Well, thanks anyway.

I'm the bodyguard, and you end up saving

my ass twice. Your ass is definitely

worth it.

Besides, you saved mine twice, too.

We're even.

But it's my job.

Another job I can't handle.

Goddard seems to think you'd make a hell

of a police officer.

Do you ever feel your life has fallen

apart, piece by piece?

My family fell apart.

I lost my mother,

my father,

my brother's gone.

And I'm still here.

So, you had a brother?

My brother was an artist.

He made this for me.

Called it the guardian angel.

She's meant to protect the wings over

all those who stand before.

Guess he should have kept it to protect

himself.

Have you ever heard of this place?

I'm looking for Nina Lindell. Do you

know her?

No.

Let me check the guy at the phone now.

Yeah, Darrel. Yeah. I'll be home soon.

I'm taking care of business right now.

Yeah. I love you, too, dear. I love you.

Come on, Tarzan dick. You're up. All

right. All right.

You know, we even handicap. I can still

whip all your asses.

What about me?

You think you can whip mine?

I can do a whole lot more than that,

Darrel.

Oh, yeah. He can roast marshmallows over

his crotch. Shut up, Jimmy Lee.

I'll wreck him, big boy.

I'm not bothered if I wreck you, you

understand, Darrel?

I'm looking for an old friend. Her

name's Nina Lindell.

Have you seen her?

Hey, Jake.

Didn't you have a barbecue with her the

other night?

I said can it, Jimmy Lee.

And who the hell are you? I told you I'm

an old friend.

So, have you seen her recently?

Listen, [ __ ]

Why don't you just get the hell out of

here?

I like it when you talk nasty to me.

Woah!

>> [music]

>> When did you see Lindell? Go to hell.

No, no, no, no.

Where is she?

>> Uh I don't know. She was looking for the

plates.

What plates? The counterfeit plates.

What do you think?

I told her I didn't know where they

were. I'm done.

You lied to me, Hobbs. She doesn't want

you. She wants the plate.

I met a good buddy of yours, Jake

Berback.

Come with me.

I want to show you something. Ah, I

can't wait.

His name is David.

He had a counterfeit operation with

[music] Nina. She shot him, left him for

dead.

He's been here ever since.

How do you know this guy?

He's my brother.

Hey, David.

I brought a friend today.

This is Christine.

Hi.

Gordon? Yeah.

I'm back in business.

Oh, really?

Is she cool?

She's cool.

What do you think we can get for these

on the street?

Don't know. Um

I've seen better.

[ __ ]

It's cuz they don't give me the proper

materials. Christ.

I can't do good work with crayons, but

what can I do?

I can't just ask for ink.

>> [laughter]

>> They'll know what I'm doing in here.

He's really bad, huh?

Yeah.

David,

can I ask you a question?

I guess.

Where did you put the plates?

What? You brought a cop in here. How

could you do this to me?

>> [laughter]

>> I'm busted big time.

David.

>> [clears throat]

>> She is not a cop.

So, where are the plates?

Wouldn't you like to know?

I hid them a long time ago.

Way before they threw me in this can.

>> [laughter]

>> Everybody wanted them cuz

they were so good.

You know when Dell's out of jail?

Get the nurse.

Level with me, Hobbs. Were you involved

in this? Of course I wasn't involved.

Just David.

He always wanted to make it on his own.

You know you're the only person that

knows about him.

That knows he's alive.

>> [music]

[music]

>> What happened?

Neighbors came by, found the door open.

I'm sorry.

Where's the neighbor? I don't want to

hear another word. Nothing. You're not a

police officer. This is not your

jurisdiction. Shut up.

Calm down. Get the hell out of here,

everyone. Just get the hell out.

What? Calm down.

You get out.

McKay, you're fired.

What?

You're fired.

Now get the hell out.

You're out of this picture, McKay.

But

You want to get killed?

She's in there alone. She can't

Clayton was my brother. I don't want

that to happen to you.

I'm your bodyguard.

Not anymore.

Listen up, McKay. From now on, Sergeant

Ausendorf here will be assigned to

protect Mr. Hobbs. So, stay out of it.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> Well,

now we got the okay out of the way,

maybe we can make some progress. What do

you say there, Hobbs?

You know what? I got to ask you

something.

Why would a man want a female bodyguard?

You [ __ ] boy. Where's your pride?

Let me ask you something.

Are you a sexist [ __ ]

because you can't get laid or because

you're secretly attracted to men?

You're not funny.

Well, here we are again. Just the two of

us.

Tell me something, Flash.

Why am I so stupid? I can't believe I

actually started to care for that that

Why did you let me feel that way?

You know, he's so he's just so

egotistical. He's childish. He's

pompous. He's spoiled. Yeah, and you

know, he just thinks he's so funny.

[music]

Well, so what if he is charming?

Yeah, and handsome.

Tall.

Sincere.

Well, if you think he's so sexy, why

don't you go out with him?

Do you think people get a second chance?

Well, then get off your butt and do

something. Come on, let's go.

Hi, David. How you doing?

Do you remember me?

You probably don't want to, right?

You know your brother cares so much for

you.

I don't know if you can hear me, but I

think there's something that you really

ought to know.

The same woman that shot you

well, she's trying to kill Lawton.

The only thing that can save him is

getting those counterfeit plates. That's

what she wants.

I'll level with you. I was a cop, but

not anymore.

I quit.

She killed someone really close to me.

I'm not going to let that happen again.

David, you need to help me.

Do you understand?

Do you understand what I'm telling you?

Please.

Help me.

Look, she's hurt us all.

David,

your brother needs your help.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

>> Are you an angel?

I'm Christine McKay. I'm just trying to

help.

I already have a police officer helping

me.

Where you going, [ __ ]

This is Gotter.

I'm on my way.

Hello again. Nina.

Always good to see you. Here, let me

make you a drink.

>> Authorizer, you want a drink, too?

Oh, is that a no?

For the last time, where are the plates?

In the china cabinet.

Why are you hiding them? You don't use

them.

You're hiding something.

Someone else knows where they are, am I

right? You're reaching for [ __ ] now,

Nina. And what person knew where those

plates were?

Where are the plates? Drop your guns.

What are you going to do, McKay? Kill

another cop?

Damn right.

>> [music]

>> You hit like a girl, McKay.

>> Thank you.

Now you're pissing me off.

>> Nobody likes a dirty cop.

>> [music]

[music]

[music]

>> Okay, [ __ ]

Start it up. Let's go for a ride.

>> McKay, I expect a full report on my desk

tomorrow morning.

I didn't know I was coming back.

I did.

>> So, I guess I'm out of bodyguard.

I guess so.

What if I need protection?

Don't you carry that in your wallet?

Yeah.

Um

for [music] special occasions. Oh.

Hm.

You want to join me for a special

occasion?

I'll race you.
