[TV IN BACKGROUND]

[LAUGHTER]

Set.

Whoa, August, I've been meaning to try something, OK?

AUGUST: Chase, what are you doing?

Picking the lock.

Why don't we just kick the door in like we always do.

No, no, it's not high tech, August.

This is high tech.

How long you figure this high tech is going to take, my man,

huh?

I mean, this is not the way we do this.

I know that, August, that's why I'm going to take this

to the police commissioner, recommend

that they change procedure.

CHASE: Think about it.

I pick the lock. Gently open the door.

The element of surprise is with us.

We take down the perp, nice and easy and peaceful.

Shotgun!

[GUN SHOTS]

Nice, easy, and peaceful, huh?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Julio!

I'll head him off, August.

Freeze, Julio.

Drop the gun.

Freeze.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I don't think he can swim.

CHASE: Doesn't look like it.

Yeah.

All right, go get him.

I'm not getting him, August.

I'm not getting wet.

This guy shot at me.

AUGUST: Well, I'm not going to go in and get him.

Well, then he drowns.

OK, then, let him drown.

I can't swim.

You're really not going to go get him, are you?

CHASE: Nope.

I can't swim.

On your feet.

On your feet.

Don't get me wet.

On your feet.

Com on.

[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

Get up! Get up!

Come on.

[CHEERING]

Hey, where you think you're going?

I'm going home.

Warden Brinkman doesn't like anybody

to leave before the end.

Well, I've been off duty for two hours.

I won't watch any more of this.

Still living out in the boonies?

Married to that little blonde girl?

She's kind of cute.

WOMAN: Honey.

Honey?

Come to bed.

In a while.

I'm not sure I can wait for in a while.

Larry we have enough money in the savings.

Police department in Shasta practically offered you a job.

The time is now.

I'm going to go to the DA with this.

I can't just walk away now.

I've seen too much.

Then do it quickly.

I'm scared.

I promise.

I don't want a crusade.

I just want a family in a nice little town.

And I want you.

You know, I think the district attorney could

probably wait a little while.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[EXPLOSIONS]

CRAGMEYER: The vehicle was packed with explosives.

The contents of the house were virtually incinerated.

And the truck's engine block was thrown over 300 feet.

Were able to pull anything off it at all?

Well, the VIN number is pretty well charred,

but we might be able to reconstruct some of the numbers

using computer enhancement.

That, for your information, is high tech.

Picking a lock with a steel stick isn't.

Now how did you know about that?

That was over four months ago.

Our monthly newsletter warning other officers to never

use the Chase McDonald method.

Did you say something?

CHASE: Hey, hey, hey, don't look at me, man.

I didn't say a word, OK.

No, no, it came out in the trial.

The perp claimed the only reason he fired

was because he thought you two were

burglars trying to rip him off.

You see that?

I try to be a little innovative, and look what happens.

Mm, you are a pioneer, Chase.

If you two are quite through, I

did find something at the bomb site that

might help us catch the bad guys,

rubber from the sole of a shoe.

So?

It's cheap rubber.

It could be state issue or it could have

come from the terrorist's shoe.

Well, let's be sure.

See what kind of shoes the guards wear.

This, Annie, can you do me a big favor.

El Toro has been in operation less than a year.

So the list of parolees can't be that big.

Why don't you get me a list of all

the cons paroled out of there.

I mean, this could have been payback time.

Picking locks should be left to people like MacGyver

and James Bond, after all this is not TV

and we are not actors.

What do you have in mind?

The element of surprise.

The element of surprise?

All right, we've got to perp in his room.

He's paranoid. His senses are at DEFCON 1.

You really thought you were going

to surprise him by jiggling the lock with a stick?

I don't understand it.

What I do understand is why neither one of you

put it in the report.

Can you believe Chase trying to pick that lot.

We're the laughing stock of every precinct in town.

Oh, thanks so much.

We don't have nearly enough fun around here.

You got that list for me, honey?

Yeah, and I got something else too.

El Toro prison has had some problems.

I'll say.

Since it opened, three prisoners have been beaten to death.

They've got some serious problems.

Can I see that, August.

And there were no witnesses.

Warden called it the result of racial tension.

Look at this, though, August, last death

reported two days ago.

Julio Carmen.

Do you know him?

Yeah, that's the perp whose lock Chase was trying to pick.

Wonder how many guys it took to take him down.

Carmen was a professional boxer.

He fought down in Mexico to supplement his drug income.

That piece of shoe rubber, definitely state issue, namely

the Department of Corrections.

Well it makes sense.

I mean, the victim was a corrections officer.

Well, except for one thing.

Now the piece we found was large enough

for me to reconstruct the entire sole

of the shoe on my computer.

Now our victim, Larry Clark, he wears a size 9.

Our piece is from a size 12.

Why don't we have a little talk with Captain Jensen.

CHASE: Thanks a lot, Annie.

Captain.

Yeah.

We have evidence that a prison guard

may be involved the bombing.

A guard?

Yeah, Captain, there's been an unusually high

incidence of prison deaths at El Toro

in a very short period of time.

Yeah, and August and I've been talking this over quite a bit.

And what we propose is that one of us

goes undercover in the prison.

Uh-- yeah, yes, we are, Captain.

That's what we're proposing.

You want to go undercover inside of El Toro?

Well, Captain, listen, if there's a guard involved

in the killing of Larry Clark, then we don't know

what we're dealing with here.

I mean, who do we talk to?

The other guards?

The warden?

Yeah, exactly, I mean if something is going down

inside El Toro, they would run for cover

the second they saw us.

Put a cop inside of a prison.

I mean, what are the odds one of the inmates

is going to recognize you.

Captain, officers go undercover every day

for one reason or another.

I mean, it's all part of the job.

But normally, they get back-up.

You go inside a prison, you've got nobody behind you.

Captain, I don't see where we really have a choice.

I mean, we've got a prison inmate

beaten to death two days ago.

We've got a guard possibly murdered by another guard.

I don't like this.

OK, Brooks you can go.

Right.

We'll transfer any prisoners that might recognize you.

Whoa, whoa, Captain, why August?

Why not me?

You want to go in.

OK, you flip for it.

Give me a coin.

Call it.

Tails.

All right, Captain, I'm going in on a third strike.

Let's call it armed robbery.

Whoa, whoa, ho, ho, ho.

You didn't even show me what it was.

It was heads.

OK, Brooks, you're in.

McDonald, you handle the outside.

See if you can dig up any recent parolees from El Toro.

If there really is something going on there,

maybe they know about it.

Thanks a lot, Captain.

Go.

Good luck.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

So they let you out into the general population, huh?

You little monkey punk.

Monkey punk?

Who you talking to?

You two bit redneck peckerwood.

I got something for you.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Don't.

He's going to kill that man.

They'll stop it when they're ready.

AUGUST: I can't any more of this.

I got this thing about watching men die, OK.

Let's see what he's got.

It was two to one they were going to shoot you.

So how much did you win?

I hear you're the man around here.

You handle all the big action.

Yes and no.

I hear they are boxing matches.

Yeah, every so often.

The guards run them.

We get numbers, one and two.

They tell us the results.

They tell us the results?

We don't get to watch?

Never.

I couldn't even tell you where the matches were held.

All I know is when and what number won.

I want in.

Cigarettes?

Smith, Chief Kuppler wants to talk to you.

Yeah, thanks.

I don't smoke.

Neither do I.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Lamar, I want to ask you a couple of questions.

What's up, McDonald?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh, jeez, Lamar, you done?

Huh?

Can we go know?

You used to run track or something?

Come on, let's go.

Up you go.

[DOOR BUZZES]

So where'd you box?

All over.

This is a hell whole of a prison, son.

You let your guard down here, you're dead.

You stay in fighting shape, and I will personally make sure you

walk out of here in one piece.

You need anything, you come see me.

Right.

And what do you want from me?

Stay in shape.

What else?

All I wanted to do Lamar was ask you a few questions.

You took off like a heat seeking missile.

Damn, McDonald, I just got out two weeks ago.

You people freak me out.

Conversation?

Hell, man, I got a telephone.

Call me.

Sure.

You'd come and meet a detective here?

I got nothing to hide.

You do time in El Toro, you don't want

to go anything but straight.

Tell us about El Toro?

Is that what you want to talk about?

That's right.

You going to pop me for resisting?

Depends.

We could call it a misunderstanding.

It was a freak house, El Toro.

And you got the man, Warden Brinkman,

mean streak bigger than a junkyard dog.

Brinkman and his guards, they dig fights.

They put out your con on a black in the yard

and watch them go at each other like two bantam roosters.

Even the cons get in on the action.

Cigarettes, anything, whatever they could get a bet on.

When you were in El Toro, two prisoners were beaten to death.

Yeah, I knew one of them.

What happened?

I don't know.

Oh, come on.

A con goes down in the yard, everyone knows about it.

I'm being straight with you.

Nobody saw it go down.

It's like one day they were there.

The next day they weren't

And you didn't say anything?

Like what?

Come on, man, you do your time.

You keep your mouth shut.

You get the hell out of there.

There was this one guard, came around.

And he asked a lot of questions.

What was his name?

Clark.

CHASE: Clark won't be asking any more questions.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Whatever you're selling, I already got one.

What?

You don't like my lawyer outfit?

How things going so far?

I'm OK, partner.

I'm kind of wishing now, though, that I'd

let you win that coin toss.

So you did cheat?

Hey, what can I tell you?

In my first day off the bus here,

they got me fighting some mutant Nazi.

They pit the inmates against each other in the yard.

Then they've got these major fights here, Mac.

Nobody sees them.

But everybody knows.

Everybody bets.

Nobody knows who's fighting.

You think Julio Carmen was a contender?

That's a pretty hard question for me

to ask without blowing my cover.

But what I do know is I'm in training.

Maybe we should pull you out.

Nah, nah, that's OK.

Things get too hot here, I can always make a phone call.

All right, all right.

Yeah, well, Kendra, I love her.

Kuppler, the chief guard here, he runs the yard.

He seems to be handling the fighting.

He's the one roping me in.

Well, if it goes that high, then

it will probably go all the way to the warden's office.

Exactly.

Take a good long hard look at Warden Brinkman.

I think this thing's going to go from the top down.

I like what you do with your hair.

Smart ass.

When you asked for the stuff on Warden Brinkman,

I didn't expect Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.

Wardens do make pretty good money.

Not this good.

I had to dig deep.

On the surface, he's Mr. Public Servant.

Go south to the Bahamas and our Mr. Brinkman's got

a big fat credit line, funds on deposit.

His kids are in private schools.

And he and his wife live in a house

worth half a million dollars.

Private schools, big house, nobody's

noticed that he's living a little beyond his means?

That's just it.

Brinkman has been investigated a couple of times in his career.

And the only thing that happens is he

just gets a brand new prison.

I'm waiting for the official reports from the FBI

and the DA's office now.

Chase, we've a big problem.

The Falcon's, he's been transferred to El Toro.

The Falcon?

Yeah, Robert Hatcher, August's ex-partner,

the one that went bad.

Can you stop it?

No, it's too late.

They processed him this morning.

Try Getting August on the horn.

See if we can warn him.

Yes, this Len Baskin.

I'm an attorney for Samuel Smith.

I need to talk to him right away.

It's an emergency.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Did you stop by for the exercise, partner?

Bob, fancy meeting you here.

Don't do anything stupid, huh, Bob?

Stay calm.

You put me away for 25 years.

Now you want me to stay calm.

Look around you, Bob.

You're forgetting something, aren't you, pal?

You're an ex-cop.

You blow my cover, and I'll take you down with me.

You understand me?

I hear you.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Would you excuse us, sweetheart?

Thank you.

You're sure about this one?

Dead sure.

Set it up.

Fast.

Sounds good.

Oh, by the way, I'm raising my piece of the action to 20%.

Don't push it, Kuppler.

I'm the one that has to walk in that yard every day.

I'm the one who takes the chance of setting up these fights.

I'm already paying you well.

One of these days, one of those animals

is going to lose it down there.

And I'm the one they're going to come after.

Well, that's not my problem.

Yes it is warden.

One phone call, I'll have every news

show out here, just like that.

You're right.

This is a partnership.

Let me work it out.

You bet.

Cash.

American will be just fine.

Have you gotten through to August yet?

Yeah I talked to him.

He says he thinks that he's got the Falcon under control.

I hope to hell he's right

In the last 10 years, Gordon Brinkman

has been investigated three times

for suspected prisoner abuse.

And?

Brinkman was simply reprimanded for losing

control of his prisoners.

It says here every incident has been

blamed on prisoner tensions.

Yeah

The vehicle identification number,

I reconstructed it on my computer.

Got the first four digits.

It that enough?

Chase, would I be here if it wasn't?

No.

I think the guys who did this rented the van.

So I ran the VIN number past all the local rental agencies.

I came up with a match at Tommy's U-Drive on Vermont.

And is Tommy wondering where his vehicle went?

Well these guys are a little smarter than that.

They rented it for a month.

How did they pay? Cash?

Stolen credit card?

Cash.

Cash.

OK, OK, well, there's still has to be

a rental agreement, right? - Yeah.

Unless these guys are master foragers,

maybe we can get something off that?

I'm on it.

Chase you know, August is a big boy.

He can take himself.

Don't worry.

I want in.

The fight, Dorian.

Everybody is talking about the fight.

AUGUST: Come on, my man, I'm not asking

you for any names or anything.

Just a few stats.

You know, height, reach, age, weight,

whether the guy's a rightie or south paw, which

fighter floats like a butterfly and which

one stings like a bee.

I can make it worth the while.

I can't handle your action.

What are you talking about?

The reason I can't handle your action

is you're the one who's fighting tonight.

I never handle the fighters' action.

I thought you never knew who was fighting.

Did I say that?

All right, listen, Dorian, I don't

like fighting in the dark, man.

Anything you can give me, anything that would help me

prepare.

Man I'm up for parole in just three years.

And I plan to walk out of here.

But I'll tell you one thing.

I'm putting my money on tonight.

[BUZZ]

GUARD (OVER INTERCOM): Yeah, what do you want?

Yeah, this is Samuel Smith.

I need to call my lawyer.

CHASE: What do you got, Anne.

This is a signature on the rental agreement.

The Department of Corrections is faxing

us signed employment contracts from every employee at El Toro.

How long?

We're expecting him any second.

Unfortunately, our handwriting expert is still on court.

So I'll try and give you a visual match.

All right, good.

You think there'd be anything in those contracts

about shoe size?

Yeah.

Good thinking, Cragmeyer, very impressive.

Thanks, Chase, with any luck, the guy

who signed the rental agreement is walking

around in a busted shoe.

All right, guys, work first, all right?

Chase, is August all right?

I hope so.

In fact, I'm expecting a call from him any moment now.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, I said I needed to call my lawyer.

Yeah.

Captain, big problem, August missed his scheduled call.

- Damn it. - I'm going in.

What are you talking about?

You can't just go marching up to the prison gate.

Captain, El Toro is in our jurisdiction.

You need a warrant.

Then let's get one now.

OK I've got a match.

Here's the rental agreement.

Here is an employment contract.

Look at the L's and the B's.

- Shoe size on this guy? - 12.

His name is Harry Bates.

He's been a guard at El Toro since it opened.

Captain?

OK, pick up Bates.

By the time you get him, I'll have your warrant.

How long?

Half an hour.

Good I'm glad you enjoyed your meal.

Yeah, well, I've had better.

I like that.

Get angry.

Stay mean.

You know what, Houston?

We got a problem.

See, I'm too full to fight.

You do have a choice.

This is true.

It is a free country.

Exactly.

You fight tonight, give it your all, you're on my A list.

Whoopee.

Listen, this A list, is this something

I really want to be on?

Private cell.

You want some female companionship,

it will be arranged.

And what's life like on the B list?

The prison is filled with tension, racial

and otherwise, A con gets it in his head he doesn't like you,

there's not much we can do about it.

It happens out in the yard.

Or sometimes my people are forced to use lethal force.

No, you remember this.

Yes, it is a free country.

But we we're our own universe here.

And if there ever was a god, brother, I'm it.

What the hell is this?

What the hell does it look like?

If I didn't know any better, I'd say it was crystal meth.

The guy you're fighting, he gets a package just like that.

Now you make me right proud.

Mm, hm.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Police!

There he is.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Freeze.

Hold it right now.

Stop that car.

[HORNS BLARING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Out of the car now.

Hands above your head now.

Out of the car now.

Now there'll be no rounds.

No going to corners.

I don't suppose we're going to have a referee, will we?

Now - Why would we need a referee?

Oh, one other thing, the moment the fight

starts, you're opponent will be trying to kill you.

You get in there and you hit like hell,

because I've got a bundle of dough riding on you.

You want to go down alone on this Bates?

Think about it Harry, a former prison guard

like yourself trying to survive in the population?

They're going to have you for lunch.

Kuppler, he's chief of the guards.

He didn't give me any choice.

He came with me that night.

Why Larry Clark.

He was going to go to the DA.

He was going to talk.

You see, Warden Brinkman, he's been staging these boxing

matches.

People pay a lot of money to get in and watch.

There's once a night.

They fight till one's dead.

Take Bates down to the precinct,

have some black and whites meet me over at El

Toro in about 90 minutes.

Let's go buddy.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Robert?

Listen, Robert, don't let them do this.

Why don't we just fake it, all right?

Don't sucker punch me, August.

You're working with them.

Listen, Robert, I'm not working with anybody.

- No? - OK.

No

[GRUNTS]

CHASE: LAPD, we have a warrant.

Open up.

Listen, Robert, just calm down, all right?

Calm down, huh?

It's the second time you said that to me.

Bob, you're cranked.

Don't do this.

Don't do this.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Just calm down, OK?

Stay down.

Open it.

Here I thought you were in trouble.

Brinkman.

Partner.

Hurry up, unlock that door.

Yes, sir.

All right, gentlemen, party's over.

I'll shoot her. I'll shoot her.

So help me god, I'll shoot her.

Let the girl go, Brinkman.

I have no problems.

I'll shoot her.

Hey, hey, hey, I'll tell you anything you want.

Anything.

I'm state's evidence.

Anything.

I don't think so, Kuppler.

[GUN SHOTS]

You all right?

[GUN SHOTS]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Can't we just shoot this guy?

I want him alive, Mac.

Come on, don't do anything stupid.

[DOORS BUZZING]

Don't even!

All of you, stay where you are.

Don't come any closer.

I'll shoot you.

Mac, Mac, get some here with a key.

I'll shoot you.

Damn it.

I'll shoot.

Dorian, don't Dorian.

AUGUST: Dorian, Dorian, don't let this happen, Dorian.

Listen, he's our now, all right?

We've got the goods on him now, Dorian.

The killing is over.

Brinkman is going to jail.

Dorian, you got three years, Dorian.

Three years and you walk.

Don't let this happen.

Let's get him out here.

August Brooks.

A long time ago, you were in uniform.

Must've been 10 of you guys busting into my warehouse

that night.

I'm not remembering any of this.

I remember you.

A couple of your buddies started pushing hard on my lady.

You stopped them.

So why didn't you say anything?

I figured you were here to stop Brinkman.

Dorian?

When you get out of here, look me up.

Hey, August.

Yeah.

Tell me something.

If it would've been me instead of you,

how long do you think I would have lasted in there?

How long would you have lasted?

Huh?

Oh, I'd say approximately till-- till lights out.

Lights out?

Oh, yeah, see, they love blue eyed,

blond haired boys from Malibu in there.

Your cell would have been a very popular place.

What's that supposed to mean?

- Brooks. - Yeah?

Board's considering a commendation

for your work inside El Toro.

Oh, that's terrific.

Good work.

Thanks a lot, Captain.

Way to go, partner.

Oh, and a movie producer called.

Somehow he got a copy of the newsletter.

He wants to interview you about the lock picking incident.

Really?

He said it's a comedy.

Oh, yeah, go head and laugh.

That's real funny.
