REPORTER: Mr. Roma-- Mr. Roma do you have any comments

about the wire tapping?

NEWS ANCHOR (ON TV): Despite his team of the city's finest

defense lawyers, organized crime kingpin

Marius Roma failed to delay his trial

date set for next Wednesday.

My brother's innocent.

He's innocent.

NEWS ANCHOR (ON TV): The prosecution's star witness

is this man, Cecil Rusk, Roma's former accountant

and confident.

His court testimony is expected to seal

the state's case against Roma.

Look at that little weasel.

Maybe he didn't pull any triggers,

but he's as bad as his boss.

Yeah, that trial could go on for months.

[BEEPING]

Hmm.

Oh.

It's Captain, August.

We're on.

Ugh.

We got to go, hun.

Do you have your pager ready?

Oh, yeah.

You just give me the word, and I'll be there.

Oh, believe me, I will.

I'll call you later, OK?

OK.

So, what are you doing today?

Nothing, I have the day off.

So do I. Want to hit the beach?

Sure, sounds good.

DA calls up, he dumps the witness

protection TST on my lap, tells me to put my best men on it.

I want you two to handle it for me.

Oh, great, Captain.

So now we're delivery boys?

No, you are transporting a valuable witness

to a very important organized crime trial.

This shouldn't take any more than one

hour out of your precious day.

Well, actually, that pretty much works for me, Captain.

Gives me time to--

Hey, that's Ramirez.

That's the guy we've been looking for.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

You tramp!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

You know, if he's real smart, Captain, he's

going to stay down this time.

Uh-oh.

(SCREAMING)

Is that our man, Captain?

No, he is.

Eh, what is this?

Don't touch the suit, it's worth more than your house.

Ah, jeez.

What is this?

This is tap water.

I said mineral water.

I can only have mineral water. I get--

- Speak of the devil. - And you're touching.

Don't you touch.

What is it, are you a little funny?

What's the story there?

Oh, God, I must have a mineral water,

and I expect to have it soon, because I can't drink th--

Time to wake up.

OK, come on, buddy.

Come on.

Nice tie.

Eh.

[THEME MUSIC]

Hey, it's hot and humid back here.

It's humid. Hello.

Relax, Rusk.

"Relax, Rusk?"

How am I supposed to relax?

I'm sweating like a pig.

This is a $900 suit, you know?

It's not made out of polyester.

Why don't you try rolling down the window?

All right.

Very funny.

Don't you have any air conditioning in this thing?

I mean, I'm supposed to be pampered.

I am the star witness, you know?

That means I'm a somebody, and what would it be--

Will you shut up?

Easy, August. You've been a little edgy today.

You know that?

I'm sorry.

Please, shut up.

All right, guys, look, we're going

to be at the courthouse in 20 minutes,

so everyone just stay calm.

OK?

Good, because I'm going to tell my lawyers

what's going on here.

Let me tell you that I will let them know

that I've had not lunch yet.

And it's 11, and I have to eat lunch by 11.

And do you know why?

I'll tell you why.

Because I'm supposed to.

Because I eat four times a day.

That's right, four times a day just like our ancestors.

Not one of them was ever fat or had stomach problems.

And were they unhealthy?

I should say not.

They were probably healthier than you or I

and they've been dead for--

You know what?

We should shoot him.

- Good idea. - All right, go ahead.

Shoot him. - I shot the last guy.

All right, fine, I'll shoot him.

Here, hold the wheel. - All right.

Don't make a big mess.

I won't.

You know, I don't think this is very funny, fellas.

Who's joking?

No, just--

It's locked.

You know what you're doing?

This is torture.

This is psychological torture.

It's not fair.

You are giving me a psychological scar

that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

August, what's with the three pagers?

Back up, just in case one goes bad.

Yeah, but why?

What's wrong with three beepers?

Lots of people have two beepers.

I've got three.

OK.

He doesn't really even need to be a cop, you know?

He is so talented.

It's in his blood, honey.

It took me five years to figure that out with August.

I know.

He always tells me that ever since he was 6,

he wanted to be a policeman.

Not August.

Back when he was boxing, that was everything to him.

But then after that whole scene, he wanted to help

clean up the neighborhood.

Let me tell you, that has been a battle.

I admire you guys.

Look at me.

Living on the beach, far away from the real world.

I wouldn't know what it's like.

It's a choice we made.

We take time off though.

You can't stare it in the face all the time.

Look, um, Kendra, can I tell you something?

Sure.

I-- I didn't want to be alone today.

I'm waiting for a call from my doctor.

Oh my gosh.

Are you OK?

Well, it depends how you look at it.

I think I might be pregnant.

Oh my God, that's great.

That's great news.

CECIL RUSK: Um-- and, uh, what's--

what's with this--

I find this car completely unacceptable.

Oh, gee, I am so sorry, but our limo was in the shop.

Ha-ha, you're just wonderful.

You can keep coming back with your witless

ripostes and your sarcasm, but that's

not going to save you, officer.

I want your badge number.

And I'm going to report you and your partner

and your attitude--

Will shut up?

Oh, Chase, take it easy.

You're a little edgy today.

Listen, why don't we all just be quiet, OK?

I'm going to sue!

August.

We should have shot him.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

CECIL RUSK: Ow.

Don't stop.

No, stop.

Let's see if he's got insurance.

CHASE MCDONALD: This guy's getting on my nerves.

- Dispatch, this 1-William-13-- - Hey-- hey-- hey--

August, we can't call in.

We're in transit, remember?

Sorry, wrong number.

Well, I must say, I'm not impressed

with the way you gentlemen are handling this thing.

I think I'm going to have to sue you.

And I'm going to sue the LAPD.

And I'm going to sue the mayor of Los Angeles.

Shut up!

Shut up!

Turn right up here.

All right.

August?

AUGUST BROOKS: Yeah. - You know what?

What?

Traffic in LA sucks.

Hang on.

Houston, we got a problem.

AUGUST BROOKS: Chase. CHASE MCDONALD: Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Get him out of there.

Hey-- hey-- this is not part of the deal.

Are you OK? Huh?

Let's go.

Look at this suit.

It's ruined.

Come on! Come no.

Move it.

Move it.

I'm not supposed to be dragged around the streets

and dumped off in an alley like a piece of garbage.

I've got some very powerful friends in very high places.

So how do you tell the difference between your friends

and your enemies, pal?

Well, my friend usually--

Go-- go-- go-- go.

Go-- go-- go!

Go-- go-- go!

Ah!

Whoa.

Yeah.

August, what are you doing?

I'm taking this puppy for a test ride!

August, I'm not having fun anymore.

Whoa!

Well, how was the test drive?

Pulls a little to the left.

Isn't anyone going to ask how I am?

Come on-- come on-- come on!

I thought you guys were supposed to protect me.

August, transit of Rusk was supposed

to be top security, huh?

Schedules, routes, everything?

Yeah, we got a leak somewhere.

More bad guys, August.

Hey, Rusk, you sure you're just an accountant?

Yeah that's it.

I'm just a numbers cruncher, you know?

I hooked up with Roma about 15 years ago.

Helped him cheat the IRS out of millions.

One day, I felt guilty and I turned myself in.

Didn't want to go down with him, huh?

Kind of like a rat from a sinking ship.

No, no, it's nothing like that.

All I did was just trade my testimony for immunity.

That, and the IRS gives me no income tax for the next decade.

You can do that?

You can do anything.

This is America, pal.

All right, what I suggest that we do right now, is get moving.

CHASE MCDONALD: Come on-- come on-- come on-- come on!

Cars just turned up near the Alameda off-ramp-- totalled.

They're nowhere to be found.

What do you think happened?

They were attacked.

Can't call in because of security.

This has got to be Roma's people.

Well, that means we've got a leak.

Leak?

This is more like a geyser.

I want you two to coordinate this search from here.

Here.

Thank you.

Have units scour a four mile periphery

right around the crash site.

Find those three, then let me know what's going on.

Yes, sir.

I'll get the search team started.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Yeah, it's Shepard.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

CECIL RUSK: It's not like I'm being disloyal

or anything, it's just that Marius Roma, he uses people,

you know?

Just like he used me.

He's a bloodsucker.

That's what he is, he's a bloodsucker.

And when he's finished with you, he just tosses you away.

He screws everybody.

Well, I just happened to be the one who screwed him first.

Yeah, it's a jungle out there.

Dog-eat-dog, you know.

Hey, are you guys-- you guys listening to what I'm saying?

Listen, why don't you call Jensen?

We can't walk all the way to the courthouse.

Oh, August, will you look at this?

I just bought this phone.

OK-- OK-- OK, so we got to find a payphone.

I got to call Jodi too.

Chase, can we deal with your social life later?

You don't understand, August, she might be pregnant.

What?

Jodi?

How?

No-- no-- no, don't answer that.

Jesus.

You know, you and Jodi would probably make--

Kids, now there's a tax nightmare.

Hey, you know what?

I bet you I could do your return for you.

It would be no problem.

I mean, it's not like raising a dog, you know?

Once you start claiming dependents,

the IRS will eat you up.

Let me do your return, I'll save you a bundle.

Anyway, Jodi's supposed to call me as soon as the doctor

gives her the results.

You know, you're going to look good with kids.

Kids? August, are you kidding me?

We're not even married.

And kids-- ah--

I-- I just don't get along with kids.

OK, are you going to tell me or what?

Tell you what?

What's with the three pagers?

Up to two is tax-deductible if you prove it work-related.

It's not work-related.

Oh, moonlighting, eh?

You know, we've got to find a phone.

Well, what about the one on the corner?

Let's get it. It's right over here.

August, you got a quarter?

Yeah.

No.

How about you, Rusk?

What do I look like to you, a piggy bank?

What's the matter, Rusk?

Can't write it off?

Eh, don't worry about it, August.

He probably charges interest, anyway.

You guys are so funny.

Calling card.

Perfect.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Jensen.

Captain, it's McDonald.

Great.

What's your situation?

We lost the unit, but we've got the passenger.

No way we're going to make it to the courthouse though.

No, that's OK.

The DA has asked for a continuance until tomorrow.

Just lay low.

Keep him alive any way you can.

We've got a leak here.

I'm trying to nail it down.

What's your 20?

August, where are we?

Um, Agua Vista and Barrister.

Agua Vista and Barrister.

OK, you just stay put.

I'll send three units out there right away.

Got it.

I got it.

Good job, Lieutenant.

Just make sure you get there first.

And make sure that they're dead.

Well, that's the idea.

Yeah.

He wants to stay close in the area for a pickup.

Hmm.

Let's eat.

I'm starving.

I could eat.

What do you say we have Chinese, guys?

We're in the wrong part of town for that.

I'm in the mood for anything-- anything except falafels.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

AUGUST BROOKS: Oh-- ooh.

- Hi. - Hi.

Can I take your order?

Uh, yes you may, um--

I would, uh-- I'd like one lap dance to go.

CHASE MCDONALD: Hey.

Yeah, right.

And what can I get you?

I'm going to--

OK, all right, I'm sorry.

I apologize if I offended you in any way.

I will have a falafel, but no onions, OK?

No onions, because I have a gastronomical--

well, I have a condition, but I don't

want to get into that with you, so just no onions, one falafel.

Would you like something to drink?

I'll have one mineral water, but I want the good kind,

you know?

The kind without the bubbles.

The kind that tastes like water.

OK.

And what can I get you?

Uh, what's your name?

Maria.

Maria, do you have tofu falafels?

We sure do.

It comes with water chestnuts and alfalfa sprouts.

Perfect.

I'll have two tofu falafels-- grilled,

no butter, no oil, no MSG, and-- do you have cranberry juice?

MARIA: We do.

A large cranberry juice. MARIA: OK.

Thanks.

You know, Chase, you always eat so damn healthy.

Maria, I'm going to have that sausage falafel

special-- make sure they fry it twice--

and a side order of sour cream.

August, you know what your problem is?

You don't care about your body.

Fried foods will kill you.

You worry about your stomach, I'll worry about mine.

It's not just about the stomach,

you could probably use a good colonic too.

AUGUST BROOKS: We have to talk about that now?

What do you say we ditch these guys, and the two of us

just go off tonight and we tango through the night?

I can do it, you can do it.

AUGUST BROOKS: Down, Fido.

You know if I had waved a c-note in front of her face,

I guarantee you she would have treated me a lot differently.

Yeah, well, money isn't everything, Rusk.

No, it comes close.

Roma, he had beautiful women all the time.

I mean, we're talking models and actresses

climbing all over him.

I know. I saw it.

I watched.

They treated me like a mascot.

For once, just once, I'd like to have a zillion

bucks in my pocket and have some gorgeous blonde come

tooling by.

She picks me up, I hop in, and the two of us

drive off into the sunset.

Isn't that a movie, Rusk?

No, it's my fantasy.

It couldn't be a movie, it's mine.

It's my fantasy.

What?

Batteries go bad, you know?

I mean, you can never be too careful.

All right, enough's enough, August.

What's up with the pagers?

Well, see, uh--

see, Kendra, she's taking some time off work, see?

And, uh, we're aiming for the best possible circumstances

for conception.

So this is a kid thing?

So you're, like, saving it up?

Right.

We haven't been intimate in three weeks now.

Poor bastard.

I haven't been intimate for three years now.

Really?

You know, so when the time is right, she's going to page me.

OK, OK, but why three pagers, Don Juan?

Well, you know, what if one breaks down?

And what if I am replacing the batteries in the other one when

she pages me?

I've got the third pager.

Oh, I see, so it's kind of like a backup for the backup.

Good plan, partner.

You see, that's why he's such a good cop.

Is that why?

Because he's always thinking.

Yeah, right.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

JODI MILLER: I don't know, Kendra,

and I think if I really am pregnant,

it's just going to scare him away.

KENDRA BROOKS: Chase is not that kind of man.

JODI MILLER: Good.

KENDRA BROOKS: God, it's funny how things end up.

August and I have been trying to have a baby now for months,

and it's just not working out.

Well, have you seen a specialist

or anything like that?

Yeah, um, we saw one last month,

and she put me on this precise schedule, and we're just--

we're just waiting for the right moment.

To have sex?

Yeah.

I mean, I've been reading books,

and I've kept this accurate schedule of my ovulation

cycles, energy cycles, and temperature cycles,

all supposed to predict the perfect time for me

to conceive.

What about August?

Oh, we've got him on a special diet too.

He has to drink this fertility potion made of seaweed.

It smells so--

Ew.

--bad.

(HUMMING)

Oh, what is that?

Seaweed.

- Seaweed? - Yeah, seaweed.

You got a problem with that? - I don't know.

It looks like something died in your glass.

There are onions in here.

All right, what did I say?

There are onions in my falafel.

That's the first thing I told her not to do, and she did it.

I bet you it was her idea.

Big joke.

Well, I'm going to go--

Deal with it, Rusk.

Deal with it?

Listen, when I have onions, I get gas.

And I say gas, I mean bad gas.

You know?

Now, I'm going to be with you guys for a few hours,

if not more, in a small car.

And I'm going to get bad gas because of these onions,

but if you can deal with it, so can I.

Isn't it just great to babysit?

I heard that, and I don't think it's very funny.

August, tell him your sorry. I got to go call Jodi.

All right, I'm going to eat the onions.

Listen, why don't you go exchange that, huh?

Thank you. I think I will.

I appreciate it.

(COUGHING)

All right, are you the proprietor of this place?

I think you are.

[INAUDIBLE] without onions, huh?

Can you tell me that?

Would you [INAUDIBLE]?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

--funny joke.

I think it's--

--never go anymore falafel.

And, uh, thank you for your kind time.

[INAUDIBLE]

[PHONE RINGING]

Hello?

Hello?

August.

Ah, jeez.

Hey, don't even think about it.

Thanks.

Huh.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Sir, excuse me, out of the car.

Out of the car.

Come on-- come on-- come on.

Police business.

MAN: Hey!

Hey!

Get in.

Go, August, go.

McDonald, stop fooling around and get in the car.

Move it, come on!

August.

August, this isn't funny anymore, all right?

This is no time for street surfing, McDonald.

Get in the car.

No time for street surfing?

I say we get out of town and regroup.

I second that motion.

I mean, I got to get out of town anyway.

We might as well do it now.

What do you think?

You know, that's not a bad idea.

Just get the hell out of dodge.

But where would we go?

Well, I know this secluded little cabin

just on the outskirts.

Jodi and I spent the weekend there.

Hell, let's do it.

OK, let's do it.

Let's do it.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

No-- no, it's easier than that.

The way to beat the IRS is to not

hide anything-- or at least make it look like you're

not hiding anything.

Fill out your forms completely, and get them in early.

Now, what I would do is I would dutifully report Roma's tax

forms by saying that he made $500,000 from the imports

of-- of wools and car parts.

What I didn't report was the $10 million

dollars he made from the drugs that were sewn into them.

It's easy.

Yeah, and was your take?

$110,000.

Boy, you were getting ripped off.

Well, it's more than you make.

Don't pay any attention to him, August.

Guys like this are just all talk.

Yeah, well, listen, I mean, for 15 years I worked for Roma.

I was making crap money.

And two years ago, I realized just how much

I was being screwed by him.

Yeah?

And you didn't steal from him? - Nah, I didn't.

But somebody did, and you can be sure he thinks it's me.

How much?

$20 million.

Ooh, $20 million.

How do you steal that kind of money and get away with it?

CECIL RUSK: (LAUGHING) It's not easy,

but, uh, I won't tell you.

Well, listen, all I know is I couldn't have done it.

I don't have the balls to do something like that.

I mean, after all, I'm just a lame little career accountant.

Lame?

Try obnoxious.

Well, if Roma thinks you stole his money,

he's going to be one pissed off mobster.

Trust me.

CECIL RUSK: Yeah, maybe.

And that doesn't bother you?

Well, no.

I mean, it can't.

I mean, how much more pissed off can he be at me?

I mean, he knows I'm going to testify against him.

His anger's got to have a ceiling on it.

How much madder can he get?

How many times can he kill me?

Or how slowly can he kill you?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Still no word on McDonald and Brooks, sir.

We've got 12 units out there looking, and nothing.

It's like they disappeared, Captain.

Somebody knows our every move.

It's got to be Roma.

He's got somebody on the inside, in the department.

I tell you, if we lose Rusk, we're

going to be responsible for blowing one of the biggest

criminal trials in LA history.

Keep trying, guys.

DETECTIVE RICHARDSON: Look, we're-- we're not

going to lose this thing.

What are you waiting for?

You called for me, sir?

Yeah, come in.

Close the door.

We got a security problem.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

CECIL RUSK: Say-- say, slow down, will you?

My seat is so hard.

It must be made of wood or something.

I'm sorry, Rusk, we forgot to bring your pillow.

Ha-ha-ha, it's because my ass hurts, OK?

You want me to spell it out to you?

My ass hurts.

I'm not a monkey.

Do you know why monkeys asses never hurt?

Do you know why?

No, but I have a feeling we're going to find out.

You are.

Because monkeys have no nerve endings in their ass.

So their ass doesn't hurt.

My ass has nerve endings in it.

You're still alive, aren't you?

Well, yeah, if you call this living.

Is a caged lion in a zoo alive?

Is a monkey sitting in a tree behind bars alive?

Well, I got news for you.

That monkey is more alive than I am,

because no one is trying to kill him and his ass doesn't hurt.

August, I'm getting a headache.

So am I. How soon before we get there?

Um, we're close.

I mean, I think we're close.

I think we've got to go left up here--

somewhere.

Up where?

Up here.

We're lost, aren't we?

No-- no-- no-- no, I know exactly where we are.

We're not lost. - No, we're lost.

He's lost.

I know you're lost.

I can hear it in your voice. - I'm not lost.

I can hear it in your voice. "I'm not lost."

Do you hear what you're saying?

You're saying it and your voice is quivering.

When your voice quivers, (LAUGHING)

it's a dead give away.

I know you now well enough to know

when you do not have any confidence

in what you're saying. - You know me well enough--

I do. I've been in this car.

I hear what you say. I can pick up on--

I can pick up, like, the vibrations.

And you sound to me like a man who is lost.

CHASE MCDONALD: I'm not lost.

CECIL RUSK: I don't mean literally lost,

I mean figuratively lost. CHASE MCDONALD: Shut up!

CECIL RUSK: All right.

Now, I know they don't have a [INAUDIBLE]..

I-- I-- I-- I'm sure of that.

Ow.

Chase.

Great, what was I thinking?

August, let me give it a try.

Yeah, right.

I've always had a knack for this sort of thing.

(LAUGHING) Dial tone.

Wow, I should find you some water to walk on now.

Uh-oh, I lost your calling card.

Do you remember your number?

Uh, let's see, Kendra just got me that card.

It's, uh-- it's, uh, 555-76--

um, no, I don't remember the number.

Here's a quarter.

Where was this quarter the last time I asked for it?

Oh, I had it, but I wasn't going to give it to you,

because I didn't like you then.

But now that you're my pal, I figured go ahead and take it.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[PHONE RINGING]

Jensen.

Jensen, it's McDonald.

Where are you now?

Where are we?

Um, actually, Captain, I have no idea.

I knew it.

We're lost.

OK, we're tracing you.

Just hang on.

OK.

OK, I got him.

We got you.

Stay where you are.

All right, Captain.

But this time, make it here before the bad guys, all right?

OK, just stay put.

I'm coming out there myself.

Thanks.

They're on their way.

They're in Mission Canyon in the Santa Clarita Valley.

That's the county.

Wait a second, Captain.

Your line was tapped.

Can you trace it?

Yes, sir.

Contact was made at Reseda hub station.

Access code is King-Lincoln-Zebra.

Who the hell is that?

I'll find out.

Just a second.

It's Shepherd.

Let's go.

I got an idea.

Here's McDonald, and here's Brooks, and here's

the tapper's location.

Damn it.

Shepard's way ahead of us, we'll never make it in time.

Shepard's code six.

Nobody's heard from him for over an hour.

OK, prep the chopper.

Yes, sir.

Call them back.

Tell them about Shepard.

Tell them to get the hell out of there.

Move them due west.

Right.

Come on, guys.

Pick up the phone.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Rusk, will you sit down already?

You're making me nervous.

I can't sit down. I can't.

I-- I-- I'm-- my--

my buttocks is so sore I will probably never ever sit again.

Put the car behind the barn.

No sense advertising we here.

You see that?

Always thinking.

I noticed that.

Look, fellas, I want to take this time

to thank you for the diligent work you've

both done on-- on my behalf.

I owe you one, boys.

Ah, forget about it, Rusk.

No-- no, I want to take you guys out to lunch--

dinner even.

My treat.

You pick the place.

Rusk, no hard feelings, but, man--

but after we drop you off at the courthouse, I don't want

to ever see you again.

Yeah, hanging out with you is kind of like signing

up for target practice--

as the target.

Et tu, Brutus?

Don't you understand?

My luck has changed.

Look at me.

100 bullets must have been shot at me today,

and I don't even have a scratch on me.

Not a scratch.

I'm telling you, this is the new me.

I'm lucky.

No more bad luck, only good luck.

I certainly hope so, for our sake.

See, it's really quite involved.

It has to do with lunar orbits and energy cycles.

This logic absolutely escapes me, but anyway.

Well, how come you haven't marked today yet?

I did.

No, you didn't.

Wait a sec, what day is today?

It's the 14th.

What?

Oh my gosh, I miscalculated.

Mm-hmm, you missed a day.

Today's the day.

Oh, my gosh, I've got to call August right now.

I can't believe I did that.

[BEEPING] No-- no-- no-- no-- no, it's Kendra.

Ah, damn.

Damn, damn, damn.

Easy, August.

It can't be that bad. - That bad?

That bad?

You have any idea what it's like to go this long without sex?

No.

Right.

Silly question.

I hear you, bro.

I know just what you're going through.

You know, this is all your fault. You know that,

don't you?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Jensen will be here soon, so let's move.

So, uh, how often do LAPD lieutenants get to requisition

county sheriff vehicles?

Only in emergencies.

That's good.

They won't know what hit them.

Let's go.

I just can't believe that August didn't

return my first phone call.

I guess I'll just page him again when I get home.

Yeah, I know.

Chase hasn't called me either.

You want to know what, Jodi?

I had a really good time today.

So did I. You know, you're going to have that baby,

Kendra, and it's going to be beautiful.

You think so?

I know so.

Thanks.

Thank you.

CECIL RUSK: --which brings us to photographing dogs.

And why, may you ask, do dogs always

photograph with red eyes?

(LAUGHING) Well, that's simple, believe it or not.

You see, dogs have red retinas.

When you take a picture of a dog with a flash,

the retina, which is red, then reflects

onto the film with the flash, and you suddenly

have a devil dog effect.

Now, how do I know this?

I used to have a couple of baby pit bulls who--

who-- are either of you guys listening

to what I have to say?

Hey, August, I wish could tell Jodi.

Hey, Chase, I think you can.

[COIN FLIPPING]

Thanks.

You earned it, kid.

[PHONE RINGING]

- Hello? - Jodi?

Chase. [POLICE SIRENS]

Hold on a second.

JODI MILLER (ON PHONE): Chase, is that you?

This isn't funny.

Hello?

Hello?

Yeah, well, it's about time.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

August, you drive, I'll shoot.

AUGUST BROOKS: Come on, get in-- get in-- get in--

come on-- come on-- come on!

How'd you know?

Can't tell you, August.

Trade secret.

Come on, how'd you know?

OK, I didn't know.

It was a hunch.

You happy?

Good hunch.

There are no seat belts back-- back here.

DETECTIVE RICHARDSON (ON RADIO): Those are police cars.

CAPTAIN JENSEN (ON RADIO): No, Shepard signed for those.

Is that one of ours?

Come on, babe!

Come on, lay a hunch on me!

Yeah, August, I think it's one of ours.

Slowly.

Slower.

It's Jensen.

All right.

Nice shot, Jensen.

[SCREAMING]

I think this road is going to end.

We'll worry about that when we get there.

CECIL RUSK: That's the problem with you guys.

It's spontaneity.

You can't keep being spontaneous.

That is the mistress of disaster.

Whoa!

Way to go.

Way to go!

Good.

Good.

OK.

(LAUGHING) Job well done.

I was never worried.

Not for a minute, no.

It looks like your friend didn't make it.

No, Lucian?

Oh, well, he always loved barbecue.

Well, I'm ready to go to the courthouse.

Yes, I'm ready to go.

And I can go as soon as possible,

because I am burning out here.

I don't tan well at all.

And I-- I know that I am a very bad--

Hey.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Hey, fellas!

Fellas!

Uh-oh.

Fellas, it's me, Rusk.

How are you?

AUGUST BROOKS: Way to go, Rusk.

You really nailed him, Rusk.

Roma's going away for a long, long time.

Yep, sure is.

Sure is.

Well, maybe you're not such a dweeb after all, huh?

You kidding me?

You know what I was thinking though?

I think I'm going to sell this whole story to the movies.

Yeah, I think it would be killer, don't you?

I mean, absolutely killer.

There would be an instant box office success.

I mean, an instant classic, real blockbuster.

And here's the best part, I'm going to direct.

Yes, yes, I'm going to direct.

Integrity, you know.

My artistic vision.

Anyway, Jodi got the test results back.

She's not pregnant.

All right.

Well, dodged that bullet anyway, huh?

Well, you know, August, I kind of liked the sound of it.

I mean, me and Jodi married, and a little baby Chase on the way.

Yeah, right, Chase.

How about you and Kendra.

Didn't make it. Didn't get it.

But we're in a new cycle.

Mm.

[CAR HORN]

You see, fellas, sometimes fantasies can come true.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Let's do lunch.

Huh.

Do you believe that?

That little dweeb.

You know, I bet he did steal the $20 mil.

I have no doubt.

[BEEPING]

Whoa, whoa, oh, yeah, it's Kendra.

My baby's calling.

Come on, you got to take me home.

Well, August, I don't know.

Chase, you've got to take me home now, OK?

Mm, you know, the captain feels pretty

strongly about paperwork.

We can do the paperwork later, Chase.

You got to take me home.

Chase, get in the car.

OK, partner, if you feel that strongly about it.

I feel that strongly about it.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

CHASE MCDONALD: Hey, August, does this mean I get to watch?

Trust me, my man, you don't want to see this.
