ANNOUNCER: Hello, ladies and gentlemen

and welcome to the third annual Greater

Los Angeles Police and Firemen Picnic.

Hey, August, where's McDonald?

I don't know.

It's not my day to watch him.

He ought to be on his way.

Look, all I know is you told me the car

would be ready today at 5.

What?

Tomorrow?

It just needed an oil change.

How long can that take?

Yeah, I'm mad.

If you saw what I was driving you'd be mad too.

I had to borrow some undercover car from the motor pool.

OK, let's play ball.

You got a butt kicking coming.

DISPATCHER (ON RADIO): All units

in the vicinity of Frasier Park respond to a 2-11.

Suspect heading eat on Florentine

riding a white dirt bike and wearing a red plaid shirt.

Speak of the devil.

[SIREN]

Out.

[CROWD NOISES]

[CHEERING]

Bring me home, baby.

Bring me home.

I suspect that might be McDonald now.

Ugh, great.

Are you OK?

That was some stunt, buddy.

Are you OK, McDonald?

I'm fine.

Out.

What do you mean I'm out?

You're out.

We got a con in the middle of the field here, man.

You're out of here.

Well, that should be some kind of automatic time out

or something. - You're still here?

Get out of here.

We got a con sitting right here

in the middle of the field, telling me that I'm out.

- You're out. - Here.

Out this.

Out of here.

[THEME MUSIC]

OK, everybody, listen up.

I want your attention.

As you all know, we had a string of 2-11s this week,

all using the same MO, three guys between 5'

7" and 6 feet tall, black, wearing

jeans, Pendleton shirts.

They go into a convenience store or a liquor mart.

They take out the surveillance cameras.

They shoot the clerk.

And then, they blow the safe using a grenade.

These are real amateurs, but they're dangerous.

So I want the last incident to be

just that, the last incident.

As of this morning, we think the suspects are gang bangers,

members of the Frogtown Brent.

I'm going to double up shifts until these guys are caught.

Porter, Lizinski, Isham, Rodriguez,

go down and shake up Frogtown.

Let me know what's going on down there.

Next, "Streets of LA."

This is a half hour reality-based TV program.

They are going to follow a couple of detectives around

and I need some volunteers.

AUGUST BROOKS: Yeah, right.

You got to be some kind of fool to volunteer

for that sort of stuff. CHASE MCDONALD: Captain.

Captain, August and I will do it.

McDonald, good man.

You and Brooks, show them a good time.

And you two, none of this hero crap.

You follow the procedures by the book and to the letter.

You understand?

Don't worry, Captain.

I'll cross the t's personally.

Good.

I'll see to it.

For you maybe, not for me.

You've got to learn to be more sensitive to your partner's

needs. - You mean I wasn't?

No.

You should've asked me first.

Give my regards to Hollywood, boys.

Just make sure they get your good side?

See?

See what I mean?

We are never gonna hear the end of this.

Hey, guys, maybe you should get some of them

pretty little earrings too.

Ignore him, August.

I've never been on television before.

I remember, I came close once.

"Candid Camera" tried to convince me I

was breaking into my own car.

I flipped my badge on them.

The whole gag fell apart and I never made it on television.

Hey, hey.

Am I talking to a brick here?

Your ego has obviously blinded your ass

as to what I am saying.

No, I know what you're saying.

You do?

Yeah.

You're camera shy.

I can understand that.

Used to be like that myself.

I am not camera shy.

It's just that I am not interested in lugging a couple

of guys around with me all day.

Our job is dangerous enough as it is.

CHASE MCDONALD: Hey, Captain.

Oh, McDonald, Brooks.

This is Chuck Lauren, producer of the "Streets of LA."

Hey.

Hey, guys.

How you doing?

The captain here says you two are the best men he's got.

Now, I have a real good feeling about this show.

And my astrological chart backs me up too.

Oh, my cameraman, Butch Pierson.

Hey, guys.

How's it going?

Man, this-- this is going to be a blast.

CHASE MCDONALD: Yeah, you know I think so too.

Thanks, Captain.

No problem.

August, something wrong?

No, Captain.

Nothing's wrong.

He's just camera shy.

Oh, well, they're all yours.

Oh, and don't put them into any jeopardizing situations.

What's a jeopardizing situation?

Oh, nothing.

He just doesn't want you guys to get shot.

Oh, cool. All right.

He's a new.

Man, I did a show down in Miami.

You should see the gunfights they got down there.

And the ladies, ID hey-oh.

Man, they got lookers.

I mean, not like the women you got

here, but hell of a lot more friendly,

if you know what I'm saying.

CHASE MCDONALD: Well, great.

Let's get started, all right?

Now, listen, I want the real stuff.

I'm going for reality, the grit, the adrenaline.

Just straightforward cop jam, OK?

I wonder how many sick day I've got left.

DISPATCHER (ON RADIO) : LD-4, 1 William

13 and all units in the vicinity respond to a 2-11A in progress.

Code 3 Wong's Market, 418 Lamida Avenue, Hollywood.

Let's take it, August.

This is 1 William 13 responding.

2-11A, that's a-- a robbery, right?

Armed robbery in progress.

When you're working robbery-homicide

anything's possible.

Look it, if it gets rough, you guys'll

have to bail out, all right?

Yeah, no problem, Chase.

Now, which is your best side?

My best side?

CHUCK LAUREN: Yeah, you know, for profiles, man.

Ah, nah, let me see the other one.

Oh, yeah.

Look out.

I got it. I got it.

I got it.

Jeez, would you mind keeping your eyes on the road?

Sorry.

OK, now, give me one of those real intense looks.

I need some coverage for when we get to the robbery

scene, all right?

Show me you mean business?

Al right. Like this?

- Got that? - Yeah, that's perfect.

Perfect.

Perfect.

Get out of here, quick.

Go around the back, the back.

Oh, man.

They locked us in.

This is the police.

Drop your weapons.

I'm going to shoot.

You already did shoot.

And I'll shoot again.

Better make it good.

You only got four rounds left.

How did he know that?

Back up, man.

Come on. Move, man.

Suppose they've got more ammo.

August, these might be the liquor store guys.

I only count two.

OK, on three, all right?

Right.

Three.

Three?

Three?

I hate it when you do that.

Do what?

Is one and two not in your vocabulary?

They're on the inside.

There's only one way out of here.

You know that ammo we were talking about?

They got some.

That's right, sucker.

Come and get it.

Come on, Butch.

Ow.

We got to get this.

Come on.

Get up.

Get up.

What part of drop your weapons, didn't you understand, huh?

Excellent dialogue, Chase.

Excellent. - Oh, yeah?

You liked that?

Excuse me.

Why don't I just arrest the suspects?

I mean, you got things to do.

Oh, thanks, partner.

Here you go.

Come on.

Get out of here.

August, call an ambulance too.

Right.

Here, come on.

Great human interest, Chase, just great.

Are you OK?

You all right?

Yeah.

Everybody, get back.

Get back, my man.

I'm blowing this joint. - All right, take it easy.

- Get back. - Take it easy.

Yo man, get the camera out of my face.

I'm just doing my job, man.

Well, it's a stupid job, all right?

Get it out of my face.

What are you--

it's not a stupid job, man.

It's an important job.

Come on.

Go, go, go, go.

CHUCK LAUREN: Let me out of here.

Move it. Move it.

Move it. - Move.

Move.

Oh, I love it.

That was brilliant.

I love you, Chase McDonald.

You're gonna be a star.

That's it, Cop Star.

You're going to be a cop star.

Cop star?

I kind of like that.

CHUCK LAUREN: No, no, no, no, no.

I'm telling you, this guy is hot.

I think we really got something here.

No-- no, we're going to stick with him

for the rest of the day.

What I want you to do is get a runner up here.

If we work fast, we can get a teaser

ready for the 6 o'clock spot.

Thanks for helping my uncle, mister.

Can I have your autograph?

Autograph?

Yeah, sure kid.

What's your name?

Bobby, but make it to Kim.

Who's Kim?

My girlfriend.

Aren't you a little bit young to be having a girlfriend?

To Kim, Chase McDonald.

There you go.

Thanks.

Cool.

Thanks, Chase.

See that, August?

Cute little kid.

Think he kind of looks at me like his hero.

Think he'll remember this moment when he's my age?

I doubt it.

If I didn't know better, I'd say

you weren't having a good time.

Really?

What makes you think that?

I'm just sensitive to those sort of things.

I don't know.

I thought we was supposed to be doing police work here.

You know, to protect and serve, like it

says on the side of the car.

We are doing that, August.

Chase, this stuff looks so unbelievable,

you're not even going to believe it.

I-- I-- the stuff that we got, the coverage we got-- wait

til you see this. Wait til you see this.

This is nothing, man.

This happens all day long. Come on.

Let's go.

Get out.

I don't remember any of this from the police manual.

Leroy.

Hi, Monk.

Has anybody seen a marker?

Let's get that out of the case.

I see your shipment's come in.

How are you, my precious lady?

What do you have for Daddy?

Where's-- where's the invoice?

Where's the invoice for this?

Who would ever think about looking inside a rock?

A geologist?

Nobody, that's who.

My friends in India haven't disappointed me yet.

Unload all of it.

Yeah, boss.

You got it.

Where you going, Leroy?

Huh?

Oh, I got to go home.

I've been up all night.

You know, I'm tired.

See you in the morning.

Yeah, I'll see you guys in the morning.

There's something up with him.

Make sure he's staying straight.

The last thing I need right now is for some

crackhead to blow this deal.

What's the Easter bunny brought?

All right, now.

Let's go.

If Mr. Sinclair found out I stole this,

man, he's going to kill me.

Relax, homes.

Nobody gonna know nothing.

Like you said, there's so much dope in his place,

he'd never know we took a--

taste.

Well, we best make sure that quality is under control.

- Hey, line me up, man. - I am, man.

Hold up. Hold up.

It's Monk.

He's got one of the eggs.

Right.

This is 1 William 13 in pursuit

of a 2-11 suspect on foot, heading east on Santa Fe.

Suspect is a male, Caucasian--

[HONKING]

Get out of the way.

A reporter and cameraman run over by angry cop.

Details and gruesome clips at 11.

Come on. Come on.

Come on.

Put your hands behind be your back.

Come on. Get up.

Come on. Pull back.

Pull back.

Good job.

Shoot that.

AUGUST BROOKS: Through playing cops and robbers, hm?

By the way, I took the liberty of arresting

the suspect, read him his rights, you know, cop stuff.

We can cut that in later.

Chase, I need to get a closeup of you.

Can't it wait, guys?

Good job, partner.

Thanks.

No, no, no, no, no.

Don't be concerned with me.

I mean, you got your public to worry about.

Come on.

Turn the other way for the camera.

Good. OK.

Come on.

Absolutely. Great.

You got it?

Cut.

That was fantastic.

I'm telling you, you could be somebody.

CHASE MCDONALD: Oh, yeah?

Like who?

Like Cagney, Burt Reynolds, Clint Eastwood.

Clint Eastwood?

You really think so?

Definitely.

You hear that, August?

Clint Eastwood.

Jeez.

Man, this is the best flake I ever had.

Hi, boys.

Monk, what are you doing here?

Why'd you kill him, man?

Where's the Lingam?

Li-- ain't no Lingam here, man.

Are you talking about the dope?

Man, I got this dope from my homeboy, man.

I mean, his lady gave me the bread to buy it.

You're old lady loaded?

That-- that she is.

You-- you want some?

Well, no.

Well, listen, man, I will go down there and talk to Sinclair

and straighten all this out man.

I mean, you know, I don't want to lose my job with yous.

It's too late.

You're fired.

[TIRES SQUEAL]

[SIREN]

DISPATCHER (ON RADIO) : LD-4 1 William 13, respond to a 1-87,

643 Maynard Street.

This is 1W13 responding.

1-87, that's a homicide.

Sounds hot.

Hey, somebody died.

There's nothing hot about it.

Hey, you know, you don't like me do you?

On the hit parade scale, I'd say that statement

ranks about a 10.

Oh, come on, August.

They're not doing anything.

They've obstructed police work.

They've been in your face all day.

And they'll probably make us both look like idiots,

like the media normally does.

You know, you sound a little bit bitter.

Yeah, no doubt.

You know, we're not here rack you guys.

We're here to glorify the police department

and maybe, just maybe, get you a little respect.

So how about showing us some respect too, huh?

Okie dokie.

One respect special coming up.

You go ahead and check the car.

That his bag in the trunk?

So that's with the evidence stuff, right?

How you doing?

I'm all right.

McDonald takes command of the scene.

Yeah, right.

I'll take command of the crime scene.

Well, if it isn't Cop Star and his entourage.

You see, and all this time, I thought you just looked funny.

What do you got, Richardson?

Three stiffs.

Leroy Jackson, Junebug Taylor, and Bones McGee all

shot to death.

Looks like narcotics residue on the table and floor.

Looks like there was quite a struggle too.

Excuse me, Chuck, right?

Yeah.

Chuck, there are three rules to a crime scene.

Number one-- you writing this down?

Sure.

Yeah.

Number one, don't touch anything.

Number two, don't touch anything.

Number three, don't touch anything.

OK.

I got it.

Sorry.

And we found this.

That's one hell of an egg.

If my eastern studies serve me correctly.

I would say that was a Lingam.

If my eastern studies serve me correctly, it's a Lingam.

What the hell is that?

Tantric Lingam, from India.

The body is the male and the markings are the female.

It's a fertility symbol.

Really?

Maybe you and Kendra should try

CHUCK LAUREN: Hey, hey.

You don't have to publicize my sex life, OK?

Might not be a bad idea though.

Officer Jones.

OFFICER JONES: Yes.

Make sure this gets logged, OK?

Got it.

Well, it may seem to you, in a situation

like this, that I have absolutely no idea what to do.

But as a detective, I'm trained to see

things that the average person, like yourself, might miss.

OK, great.

Thanks, babe. Come on.

Cutaways. I need cutaways.

Come on.

You know, we could leave now and they would never know it.

Why would you want to do something like that?

Huh?

Can I help you?

CHASE MCDONALD: Hey.

August, I'm going after him.

Are you all right?

Take care of her.

Sorry, guys.

Got to do this one alone.

[SIREN]

No.

Are you OK?

No blood.

That's a good sign.

Well, I'm glad you're OK, because the suspect got away.

Well, I almost had him until you showed up.

I almost turned you into road kill, pal.

You almost had him?

I almost had him, all right, until you

decided to become Evel Knievel.

Look what you did to our car.

Captain's not going like this at all.

What I did to the car?

August, look at that car.

When we fill out the police report, who's

going down as the driver, huh?

You don't think about that?

Where's Chuck?

He decided to sit this one out.

The where did you get the eggs and the books?

CHASE MCDONALD: From the anthropology department

at UCLA.

That's one healthy looking egg.

It's a Lingam, Captain.

It's like the one that was stolen from the crime scene.

Doing some research.

You know, it would have been nice

if we could have gotten a better look at that damn thing.

Think this guy's our shooter?

I don't know, Captain.

One thing's for sure though, guy was a pro.

By the way, you are totaling my entire fleet.

I'm running out of cars here.

Hey, guys.

Captain.

You get It?

Here to do our civic duty.

Great.

Here, present for you and Kendra.

Let's go take a look at this, huh?

CHASE MCDONALD: Lucy, can you enhance that?

LUCY: Sure.

That's good. That's good.

See that, Captain?

What they're doing is they're hollowing out

the inside of these Lingams.

That's where they're stashing the cocaine.

I then, found traces of cocaine on the table

and on the floor, 98% pure.

We need to find out more about these Lingams, Lucy.

Might help us find where they're coming from.

Oh, the 6 o'clock teaser is on.

Can you get regular TV on this thing?

Sure.

It's channel 9.

All right.

ANNOUNCER (ON TV): Tune in tomorrow

for another exciting episode of "Streets of LA."

This week, we'll ride along with Detectives Chase McDonald

and August Brooks as they search for a killer that

murdered three men in this house and left

behind an unusual object.

Start talking.

What happened?

I don't know what happened.

How was I supposed to know they videotaped it?

I got the egg back.

Yeah, you got it back, but they

got the damn thing on video.

We might as well just paint a sign that says, here it is.

Come and get it.

I'm the only one that ships those friggin things.

They come here, I'm going to jail.

And you're going with me.

So what do you want me to do?

All I need is till tomorrow night.

And then, we're out of here.

Keep an eye on those two cops.

If they get wise, let me know.

McDonald and Brooks.

Sounds like a damn food chain.

Shoot.

Hey, you talking to me?

Huh?

Are you talking to me?

Are you talking to me, huh?

It's obvious you're talking to yourself.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

I-- I was just standing here.

Sounded like you were passing your lines.

All right, Jodi, do you think I could be an actor?

I mean, how do I look?

You look like a man with a big ego.

Jodi, I'm being serious here.

OK.

You'd have to lose a few pounds and your hairline is receding.

What?

Where?

I'm joking.

I like you just the way you are, strong and charming, handsome,

and lately a little bit difficult.

I mean, this whole TV thing, you're getting a little too

pretentious, don't you think?

You've been in here for an hour and you

have not been sculpting.

I told you, I was practicing.

Here.

Watch this.

You'll like this.

Go ahead.

Make my day, sweetheart.

Huh?

OK, obviously you have some wild fantasy

you have to live out.

So I'm just going to go to bed.

What's wrong?

Nothing is wrong.

I'm just worrying about you.

Goodnight, Chase.

You dirty rat.

Huh?

That was good, don't you think?

KENDRA BROOKS: What are you doing?

AUGUST BROOKS: Hm?

- What are you doing? - Oh, nothing.

I was just-- honey, you think I ought

to maybe lose a few pounds?

I understand that the camera puts a few pounds on you.

What do you think?

Remember, I'm on my cycle.

You know, I was thinking with the hype with the show and all,

I--

I might even try my hand at acting.

I mean, it's something I've never done before.

What do you think about that?

I think you have three minutes and that's including foreplay.

This wouldn't have something to do with Chase, would it?

You know, maybe one of those male competition things?

You know, maybe it does.

Well, I think you are a movie star.

And I think there's a boxing center full of kids

who would agree with me.

That's why I love you so much.

Better not be the only reason.

1 minute and 40 seconds.

Ow.

Officer Brooks reporting for duty, ma'am.

Oh, officer.

How kindly of you to help a stranger in need.

You are beautiful.

My shipment's coming in today, so I need your help on this.

Hold up, hold up.

I'm not dealing with you until you get the heat off your back.

What do you mean, get the heat off my back, man?

I covered for you when you were in the joint--

I'm not dealing with you until you get the heat off your back.

Period.

Look, I need those cops off and I need them off now.

That's your problem.

MR. SINCLAIR: Oh, my problem?

I'll kill them.

That's cool.

It means a bigger percentage for me.

That comes off your end, man.

So are we cool?

We cool.

The actor must use humdrum everyday experiences that

might seem mundane to the average person

and expand them into larger than life events.

Yeah, right. Like the boring work we do?

You know, busting murder ones, getting shot at,

high speed car chases.

This book is right up your alley.

August, one moment.

Right.

No.

Yeah, I'm a cop.

Now, OK, explain to me again exactly what an agent does.

Yeah, OK.

Yeah.

Yeah, let's do lunch.

Great.

Ciao.

August, you won't believe this.

This guy thinks that I could get a three

picture deal with a major studio if I'm packaged right.

You're making me ill.

Is his head getting bigger or is that just my imagination?

AUGUST BROOKS: Stick around.

By the end of the day, we can enter

him in "Ripley's Believe It or Not." for the largest hat size.

OK, guys, well, I did some research on this Lingam.

AUGUST BROOKS: Who's bringing these things in?

Well, there's 14 retail outlets in Southern California,

but there's only one distributor.

And that would be Interactive Importers.

I'd say we start there.

Good a place as any.

Thanks a lot, Lucy.

Sure.

MR. SINCLAIR: Let's go.

What are we on vacation here?

Move.

Move.

I got it.

I'll make a slick two million by midnight

and be sailing on the Caribbean by lunchtime tomorrow.

You ready?

Let's go.

Where's your entourage?

OK.

Obviously, something's bothering you.

You want to talk about it?

OK, so talk.

You're mad at me.

I'm not mad at you.

I just think you're being an ass.

And you're sure you're not jealous?

Look, we're partners, right?

I'm a cop.

You're a cop.

No matter what anybody tells you or what crazy idea

you got this morning when you were

looking at yourself in the mirror, you're still a cop.

Damn good cop if I might say so.

I know enough about you to be able to say that.

So why don't you forget about this Cop Star nonsense

and get back to doing your job, before you get us both killed?

You want to know something?

AUGUST BROOKS: What?

You might be right.

Can we go now?

Don't you want to wait for Butch and what's his name?

They can catch up to us.

Come on, partner.

[PHONE RINGS]

MONK (ON PHONE): McDonald and Brooks

are headed to the warehouse.

Dammit.

I'm screwed.

I'm history.

MONK (ON PHONE): Maybe not.

It's just the two of them.

Just the two of them?

Well, let them come.

Cause I got a surprise for them.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

What do you think?

Looks harmless.

That's what I don't like.

Hey, August. - Yeah?

Have you ever gotten that I just walked into a trap

and I'm about ready to be ambushed feeling?

It's funny you should ask, because I'm starting to get

that feeling about right now.

On three?

Three.

Hey, August, I think we may be on to something.

Yeah?

What was your first hint, Sherlock?

Well, well, well.

Look what the Easter Bunny left behind.

Must be a happy bunny about right now.

No, no, no, no.

I can't do it then.

I have my chi-- my chiropractor--

AUGUST BROOKS (ON RADIO): This is 1 William

13 in pursuit of a 187 suspect heading

north on the 110 freeway.

Goodbye.

AUGUST BROOKS (ON RADIO): Requesting back up.

Hey, Butchie.

Come on, that's our boys.

BUTCH: Yes, Chuck.

Anything you want.

Come on.

[HONKING]

This guy's really serious about getting away, August.

Are we really that serious about catching him?

Look to your left.

Tell me whether the car is on fire.

Are we on a ride at Universal Studios?

I don't think so.

Then, we're on fire.

[SIREN]

We're here.

Oh, no.

I don't need this.

I do not need this.

I tell you what, you do that.

I'll do this. - That's far enough.

Come on.

Get off me, you idiot.

I need this shot.

CHASE MCDONALD: I'm not going to tell you again.

That's far enough.

CHUCK LAUREN: Get out of the way.

CHASE MCDONALD: You know what?

I've had about all I can take out of you.

I'm not gonna warn you again.

Nice shot.

Excuse me.

Get me out of here, man.

Listen, before I help you out of here,

you want to tell me where those eggs are going?

I ain't telling you squat.

What's the problem here, August?

Doesn't want to tell me where those eggs are going.

That's not good.

Not good.

I'd say this car's going to blow in about 30 seconds?

About 30 seconds.

You can't leave me here, man.

25 seconds.

You know what?

I got better things to do than watch a car explode.

I'm gonna go. - All right.

Talk to you later.

20 seconds.

MONK: You can't let me die.

Listen, Chase, you know, I really don't feel

like being barbecued either.

You can't leave me in here, man.

15 seconds.

You can't let me die.

10 seconds.

All right, all right.

I'll tell you, man.

Sinclair, my man, what's up?

Credance, my friend, what you got for me?

Oh.

Oh.

I love the smell of money.

Hey, it's a pleasure doing business with you.

Hope we can do it again.

I think that could definitely be arranged.

For you.

CREDANCE: For me?

Hi, guys.

CREDANCE: Hey, you set me up.

- Hey, you set me up. - You set me up.

- You set me up. - Hey, man--

Shut up.

You're both wrong.

He set you up.

Come on, turn around.

Turn around.

Spread them.

Get up.

AUGUST BROOKS: Got them?

CHASE MCDONALD: Got them.

Hey, hey.

Take it easy, man.

August, give me a hand with this, all right?

Yo, I'm there for you, my man.

[SINGING]

- Well? - Well, what?

Did you use the Lingam I gave you?

Yeah.

Felt like it was watching me the whole time.

Well, you know, a little voyeurism never hurt.

You got that right.

Cause we had some excellent sex.

Get out of here.

You didn't really use it, did you?

Hey, you guys, it's on.

ANNOUNCER (ON TV): The "Streets of LA."

A tough place to work and a tougher place

to risk your life.

Join us and we chronicle the proud, true

Los Angeles police force.

CHUCK LAUREN (ON TV): This week we

join robbery-homicide Detective Chase

McDonald and August Brooks as they fight

crime on the "Streets of LA."

First call we get is to a liquor store robbery.

Armed robbery in progress.

There could be shots fired.

You look so good.

[INTERPOSING VOICES]

CHUCK LAUREN (ON TV): The heroin Officer Brooks was

quick to arrest the suspect.

But the situation soon turned into a hostage crisis.

Get back, man.

I'm blowing this joint.

[INTERPOSING VOICES]

CHUCK LAUREN (ON TV): Officer Brooks

was quick to save the day.

Although no police officer is the equivalent of a comic book

superhero, Officer Brooks always seems to be at the right place

at the right time.

Hey, this isn't bad.

CHUCK LAUREN (ON TV): The next call

we get is a multiple homicide.

Officer Brooks is quick into the thick of action.

I'll take command of the crime scene.

I have absolutely no idea what to do.

If my eastern studies serve me correctly,

I would say it's a Lingam.

Hey, that was my line.

I said that.

CHUCK LAUREN (ON TV): But in the end,

Officer Brooks always gets his man.

I took the liberty of arresting the suspect,

read him his rights, you know, cop stuff.

CHUCK LAUREN (ON TV): We thank robbery-homicide Detective

August Brooks for his courage, strength, and dedication

to being the best.

Yes, the cream rises to the top.

I still love you, sweetheart.

[GIGGLES]

Bye, Chase.

[INAUDIBLE]

Step aside as I step into the spotlight.

Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.

I still can't believe they did that.

August, I'm sorry if I acted like such a Prima Donna.

Hey, you're just lucky I'm such a nice guy.

Listen, what do you say we don't let this happen again, huh?

Deal, partner.

Deal.

CHASE MCDONALD: Oh, August, I wasn't going to tell you this,

but you looked pretty good up there on film.

You know, kind of like a cross between Denzel

Washington and Nipsey Russell.
