CHASE: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Are you all right?

Be right back.

Stay with her.

Head him off.

CHASE: Hey.

[HONKING]

Get off my car.

Elevator.

Up, up, up.

Up, up.

Hey.

Stop, police.

You're good.

You're just not quite good enough.

[THEME MUSIC]

Yo, man.

Damn.

This is serious, OK?

OK. Understood.

All right, I just want you to know that.

This is the only reason I'm showing you this.

Promise.

All right.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Damn it.

It was really interesting.

Yeah?

Oh, absolutely.

You should follow up on that.

Think so, huh?

Absolutely.

Why don't you get changed, and we'll get going, all right?

Yeah, right.

I especially like that spinning thing you did.

- That was great. - Yeah, right, Chester.

August, call it in.

Damn it.

Back off.

Better ways to do this, kid.

I'm not going back to jail.

I'll jump.

Take it easy.

Freeze.

What does MA mean to you?

MA?

Hm.

Master's degree.

You thinking about going back to school?

No, no, no.

Not MA, Ma.

Oh, oh, MA.

Misdemeanor assault.

No, no, one letter.

MA.

It's Spanish.

Mexican Mafia.

You know, as in the most ruthless syndicated crime

organization this side of Wednesday.

Yeah, that was my next guest.

That Mercedes that was blown up,

it was registered to a Juan Carlos Altamirano,

black balled drug dealer.

Pushed out of business by every gang in town.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, he started dealing again last month.

Dealing what?

Aspirin?

- No, Mexican tar. - Heroin?

I called a guy I know over at the agency,

deals in this kind of crap.

Remember that shooting that happened down in TJ last March?

Yeah.

Why do I get a feeling this doesn't have a happy ending?

There was a little gunplay over at the MA.

The shift in power brought a new head to the table.

Let me guess, Altamirano?

Brother?

Cousin, first.

Charlie Altamirano.

A ghost.

No prints, no photos, nothing.

Charlie?

That doesn't sound very traditional.

Well, just a wild guess, but I'm thinking it's an alias.

SECRETARY: Line 1, Mr. Cole.

Hey, Chase, what's going on?

Yeah, yeah.

I know what's going on.

That's just an expression.

You?

Yeah, yeah.

I don't know if I can.

I'm kind of busy.

Actually-- no, no, no.

That's a pretty good idea really.

Where?

OK. Yeah, sure.

How about 6 o'clock?

Great.

I'll see you there.

Take care.

[SPANISH]

Excuse me, Charlie, there's a problem.

Go ahead.

Hey, Charlie, it appears that the American Drug Enforcement

Agency might have been tipped off about the shipment that

left yesterday.

It's scheduled to reach American waters

in about three hours, but--

Leave us, Romando.

But?

But I have a plan.

Tell me.

Me and Joe Biboni are up in this cabin

freezing our nads off waiting for some guy to show

up with this big case of dope.

Two hours later he shows up, we pop him at the door,

open the cases, and it ain't dope.

It's soap.

- What? - Yeah.

Soap, not dope.

The CI heard wrong.

So we've got this guy who's running cases or Ivory

or Dove or something like that.

Peter, one name.

Charlie Altamirano.

You know, just to get particular, that's two names.

Come on, Spanker, tell us what you know.

Nothing.

I've got a dead pusher connected to the MA,

if I don't get a lead, it's going to get real big.

It won't get big.

You don't know that.

Yeah, I do know that.

Let's just forget your dead pusher.

So you're saying the DEA is involved?

We've been friends long enough, Chase, for you

to know I can't tell you that.

I'm here to tell you guys, forget it.

End it here.

It's under control.

Spanker, I can't do that.

Excuse me.

Why do you keep calling him Spanker?

Nickname. from fraternity--

Listen, I'd love to help you guys out.

The paperwork's a hassle, dish it over to us,

otherwise, forget it.

Great.

This has all been very productive.

We're going back to the station.

Catch up with you in a second.

Look, I'm sorry, Chase. I'd love to, but I can't.

Come on, Spanker, help me out here, all right?

[GLASS BREAKING]

You OK?

I just ended up with it.

And it's something really big.

Ended up with what?

I'm in it.

The DEA doesn't know.

We've got somebody on the inside close, but I don't trust him.

They don't know.

They think it's about money.

It's not about money or drugs.

It's about something priceless.

Do me a big favor, hang onto that for me.

Safe.

Whatever you do, don't tell anybody about it.

That way if they catch me, they won't find it on me.

Who catches up with you?

Please, I'll call you in 24 hours.

You're the best, Chase.

Thanks.

Thank you, Ernesto.

De nada, Senorita, as always.

You understand, all the money, all the power in the world,

doesn't mean anything without the key.

Si.

The key has been in my family forever.

Whoever has stolen the key cannot

understand its importance.

[SPANISH]

15 guards around the perimeter, 10 guards inside

on patrol.

And you, alone.

All you had to do was guard the key.

How much do you think your life is worth?

Sorry, por favor.

I hope you held out for a good price.

Life is precious.

I'm glad we had this talk.

You understand?

Si.

29.

30.

Honey, I don't know why you're punishing yourself like this.

It was just one bowl of ice cream.

I'm fat.

You're not even close to being fat.

I am.

If you lose one more ounce, a stiff wind will blow you away.

Oh, stiff?

I have an idea on how I can burn off that ice cream.

Oh, yeah?

Push ups.

Push ups?

You have it?

What's all this?

Protection.

What about Charlie?

What about Charlie?

You said a trade.

Charlie for the key.

And I'm being followed.

Now, that wasn't part of the deal.

You're being paranoid as usual.

No.

I get the bust first, then you get the key.

I want Charlie.

Everybody wants Charlie.

Listen, I've signed my blood for this,

and I will not make a move without the key.

It's mine.

The same think you so desperately want to get of.

You want Charlie?

Well, so do I. And you'll get her, but first, the key.

What if I told you I don't have it on me?

I'm a federal agent, Roberto.

What are you going to do? Have me killed?

I think Charlie's made that decision already.

Go.

Let's go.

Back up.

Whoa, whoa.

DEA.

Whoever you are, turn around and leave.

LAPD homicide.

- What happened here? - Are you deaf?

I said, it's time for you-- hey, hey, hey,

We're both deaf, pal.

This is our RD.

I don't care if it's your reporting district.

The Fed will handle it.

You guys can turn around and leave.

August, let's get the hell out of here.

What's wrong?

That was Peter Cole back there.

What?

CHARLIE: Can't you ever bring me any good news?

They searched everyone.

Nothing.

If they had the key, they didn't bring it with them.

You know, you shouldn't have sent the assassins.

Do you have any idea what the penalty is?

It should have been handled different.

When I want your opinion, I'll have it beaten out of you.

The blonde one, what's his name?

That's Detective Chase McDonald.

He's an old college buddy of Peter Cole's.

And he gave Chase the key?

Yeah, I'm almost certain of it.

Almost?

I'm certain.

I'll have a man on him by tomorrow.

No.

I think I'll handle this one myself.

It ought to be fun.

- Yo, buddy. - Hey.

What's up?

What's that?

Nothing.

Oh, OK.

Listen, listen, don't ask me how I did it, just thank me.

I found out what went down in the alley.

Drug deal between the MA and the DEA gone wrong?

I hate it when you do that.

Yes, bright boy, that's what happened,

but not cash for drugs.

See, the MA was looking to exchange for a key or a lock

or something like that.

I know.

No, you don't.

You're just saying that to piss me off, aren't you?

I want to show you something.

What is this?

It's a key.

I know it's a--

CHASE: Sh sh.

I know it's a key, but--

no, please, tell me this is not what I think it is.

Peter gave it to me the other day.

I have a feeling this is what--

Come on, guys, get a room.

I have a feeling this is what he was killed over.

What did Peter say to you when he gave you the key?

I don't think we should talk about it here.

All right, later at Sevens, and we'll go over this again.

OK.

Oh, good, Chase.

I'm glad you're here.

This is Carla, our new neighbor.

Hello, Chase.

It's nice to meet you.

Likewise.

Jodi here tells me that you're an officer of the law.

How fortunate.

I know I'll sleep very well.

Is something the matter?

Nothing.

I'm fine.

Well, I was just on my way out.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

It's a pleasure to meet both of you.

Hopefully, will see you again soon.

Count on it.

You can stop drooling now.

I just came to get some papers.

I got to go meet August.

But I made us dinner.

Sorry, honey.

See you later.

Well, where are you meeting?

Taking the Range Rover.

Bye.

So when he gave it to me, he told me not to tell anyone.

So why did you tell me?

You're my partner.

You'd rather I not tell you?

No.

Thanks.

Thank you.

It's just good to know you can't keep a secret.

Listen, let's cut through this whole thing.

What is the key?

I mean, is it precious artwork?

I have no idea.

Ornamental?

Hey, baby, buy you a cocktail?

Uh-oh.

- What? - New neighbor.

She was at the house talking to Jodi when I got home.

Whoa.

Hi.

Hi.

I thought that was you.

How are you?

I'm good.

I'm good.

Hi.

I'm August Brooks.

Chase's partner.

Yeah, he's a police officer like me.

Hi.

Anyway, so where's the little lady?

Jodi?

She's at home.

You know what?

I can't.

OK.

Maybe some other time.

See you.

I think she was hitting on you.

No, you really think?

Yeah, bright boy.

Something about her worries me, August.

Hey, bitch, what's your problem?

You know what?

You're probably right.

I'm sorry.

Now, shut your mouth, or I'll take these home.

Now, be a good little boy, and close your eyes.

RADIO ANNOUNCER: Good morning, Los Angeles.

This is KCRM, news and entertainment.

If you're driving to Santa Monica this morning,

you might want to leave a little early.

There's an injury accident at the Centinella exit

and is blocking the two left lanes.

So just Sit back and relax, because we've

got some music coming at ya.

Here's Ina.

1492, when Columbus got back to Spain,

Queen Isabella gave him a key.

It was gold.

It was encrusted with jewels.

The key was a symbol.

It represented his opening up to the world.

And after Columbus died, it was handed down

from one Spanish colonial governor to the next,

and ended up in the hands of one Diego Velazquez.

He was a military governor in Cuba.

And then in 1519, Velazquez handed

it over to Hernando Cortez.

Cortez is the guy that conquered

Montezuma and the Aztecs in Central America.

Right.

Um, I used to date Kelly, the department librarian.

I'll tell you about it later.

Cortez held onto the key until he died, and then he bequeathed

it to a son of his by some Spanish mistress,

a boy named Antonio de--

Altamirano.

Yeah.

And then the key was just passed along

from generation to generation inside the family.

So it's an heirloom.

Oh, no, it's a little bit more than that.

You see, because of the phenomenal success

that Cortez had had, a legend grew up about this key.

That whoever possessed the key, would

have absolute dominion over all of the lands

that were conquered by Cortez.

How many did he conquer?

A lot.

True.

But he was probably never given any legal rights over them

in the eyes of the Spanish court.

In the lands that Cortez controlled,

that key was a hell of a lot more important than the law.

Whoever controls the key, controls

most of Central America, Mexico, and a part of California.

Looks like it's you, Chase.

You're in a lot of trouble, pal.

Me?

What about us?

Hey, hey, Kimosabi, you are the sovereign lord

of Central America, Mexico, and part of California.

I'm just a cop.

I want to know where you got it.

In my office, now.

Honey, I need to get this done.

Honey, honey, please?

Please?

Chase, are you seeing someone else?

No.

You are, aren't you?

Honey, what are you talking about?

We can just talk about it, OK?

We-- you can tell me, all right?

You can just tell me what's going on.

Honey, you're not making any sense.

I'm not?

Jodi, I love you, you know that.

I just need to get this work done, OK?

OK.

Maybe I'm just being silly, right?

Right.

OK.

This detective is a tough one.

I still say that you should let me take some of my men--

Despite what they say, Whit, when you want to tame a lion,

you don't just crack a whip.

You stroke his mane.

Then you crack a whip.

I've already tried to goad him, but he loves his precious Jodi.

So now, I'll make him come to me, whether he likes it or not.

Oh, Miss Brooks?

I'm sorry, do I know you?

No.

I know Chase McDonald and your husband, August.

Uh-huh

I don't know Jodi, but your husband says

that you guys are best friends.

Yeah.

See, there's something I want to tell her, but I can't.

Here, come on.

It's OK.

Don't worry.

I met Chase here one night.

I guess him and Jodi just had a fight or something.

I don't know, maybe we had a little too much to drink.

The next thing I knew, we were in bed together.

I only saw him a few more times.

I was going to end it.

But now, everything's different.

How?

How is everything different?

Because I'm pregnant.

I am so glad I had someone to talk to.

Thank you.

Surprise. Hi, Kendra.

That's just great, Chase, play dumb.

How could you do that to her?

Someone want to tell me what's going on?

Well, that went well, Chase.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Jodi?

Hi.

I hope you don't mind.

The door was open, so I allowed myself in.

Hey.

If it isn't my new neighbor, the spider woman.

Is Jodi here?

I wanted to borrow a cup of sugar.

You usually cook in your underwear?

Obviously, she's not here.

Bingo.

50 points to the lovely lady from somewhere.

Oh, Chase, you are probably the sexiest man I've ever met.

Oh, gee, willikers, Buffy, you're swell too.

I want you.

I want you inside me.

What?

Hey, hey, hey.

You heard me.

You gotta go.

Oh, no.

I'm not kidding around.

You really got to go.

Fine.

You'll be sorry.

[SHOWER RUNNING]

Seems like I got you in a compromising position.

You don't take no for an answer, do you?

Shut your mouth.

I tried.

But you, you're a tough one.

I'll give you that.

Now, the playing is over.

Where is the key?

I don't have the key.

I will kill you.

I will not blink.

Wild guess?

You're with the MA?

You work for Charlie?

That's right.

I work for Charlie.

You gonna kill me?

Hm.

Naw.

You're too good looking.

I think that would be a sin of some kind.

Well, then do me a favor.

Tell Charlie when I find him, I'll tear him apart.

One hour.

751 Cherry Drive in Calabasas.

Be there with the key alone or Kendra and Jodi are dead.

Now, be a good little boy and close your eyes.

Kendra?

August, it's Chase.

Chase, where are you?

Is Kendra and Jodi with you?

No.

Listen, August, the MA has them.

They want to trade the key for the girls.

Just tell me where you are.

Meet me at 751 Cherry Lane in Calabasas.

Call for back up and tell them to hang back.

I gotta go in alone.

AUGUST: Got it.

Jodi?

Kendra?

Here to save the damsels in distress, Detective?

Nice place you have here.

Thanks.

We like it.

We?

[GUNS CLICKING]

I hope you brought the key, Chase.

I told you already, I don't have the key.

Whit.

Yes, Charlie?

So you're Charlie Altamirano?

Actually, Carlotta, but you see,

I discovered early on that unknown enemies are more

weary of Charlie than Carlotta.

You had your chance, Chase.

It could have been a lot more fun the other way.

Whit, kill one of the girls.

D-E-A.

Run!

Good hook.

Thanks.

Officer, I want you to log this as evidence

- in the Altamirano case. - Yes, sir.

You will be seeing me again, Chase.

Now, there's a woman with some serious problems.

AUGUST: Tell me about it.

By the way, thanks for the backup, Auggie.

Auggie?

Yeah.

It's a nick name.

I just thought of it.

You like it?

He just called me Auggie.

Chase, I--

I'm sorry I went so crazy.

I just-- I love you so much.

Come here.

Charlie, here's the key.

Thank you, Ernesto.

What time does my plane leave?

Two hours.

Perfect.
