NARRATOR: Previously on "LA HEAT."

CHESTER MCDONALD: This is the third big time West Coast

drug dealer to die in an accident

in, what, the last two months?

I know the man behind it.

Give me the name.

You give me a signed deal.

AUGUST BROOKS: Zapping the competition is exactly the kind

of thing Bobby would pull.

I want you to move in at the beach house.

They'll kill me down there.

It's Matessa.

He's dead.

AUGUST BROOKS: Somebody on the West Coast

is trying to take over the drug business.

We think it's your friend Bobby Cole.

We are talking billions of dollars in profit.

[slap]

Kill her.

This isn't about the lovely Detective Stockman, is it?

Put your gun down now.

This isn't over, Cole.

Not by a long shot.

You OK?

What are you doing here?

Got a call my partner was in lockup.

Can you believe they arrested me?

The way I heard it, you were the one waving the gun around.

They should have backed me up.

So much for a professional courtesy, huh?

Those cops probably saved your badge, my man.

You're lucky they called me instead of IA

like they were supposed to.

Why don't I feel lucky?

I talked to the Desk Sergeant.

I explained the situation to him.

He's going to look the other way on this one, Mac.

I'll be sure to send him a thank you note.

There are a lot of people hanging

their butts over the edge on this for you, Mac.

Bobby Cole killed Nicole.

I did what I had to do.

You mean his man killed her.

He ordered the hit.

We don't know that for sure, Mac.

He's responsible.

You know it.

And I know it.

Maybe so.

I also know there are ways of handling the situation

that don't get you locked up.

I'm not going to let him get away with this, August.

He won't.

We're gonna nail him.

I could have pulled the trigger.

Trust me.

Best move you never made.

[music]

[theme music]

This is unbelievable, August.

13 criminal investigation all linked to Cole.

None have made it to trial.

He's slick, Mac.

Nothing never sticks.

No one is that slick.

There's got to be something in here.

Look, McDonald.

Even if I want to be involved, Cole's harassment suit

guarantees you can't get near him.

But Captain, we know that Cole is linked to the warehouse

where Nicole was shot.

Unless you saw him pull the trigger

or heard him give the order, we can't arrest him.

Captain.

Look, Chase.

I'm sorry.

I know you and Nicole were close.

And believe me, I want a piece of Cole

just as badly as you do.

But we've got to play strictly by the book.

Hey, what am I supposed to do?

Well, to tell you the truth, I don't know.

I'm up to my neck in this international drug conference.

Why don't you take a couple of days off?

Can you believe that?

Take a couple of days off?

Two cops are dead.

And our department is too busy to investigate.

Actually, a couple of days off might

not be such a bad idea, man.

Mac, hold on.

Mac.

They released McDonald.

What the hell is happening to our legal system?

Maybe we should think about scaling back

operations for a few weeks.

What?

I just mean that, if the heat is on,

maybe we should hold off on the Colombian move.

You're my accountant.

Shut up.

I was just thinking--

No.

Don't think.

I spent two years on this deal.

No cop with a grudge or some spineless bean counter

is going to get in my way.

Is that clear? - Yes.

Good. Good.

Now do you have some papers for me to sign from the bank?

Yeah.

Once we finalize the transfer from the Swiss accounts,

all the cash will be in place for Montoya's shipment.

Fabulous.

I had to pull in a lot of favors

to get these processed so fast.

The banks are really making these transactions

very complicated.

You see?

There.

There's a reason for me not to kill you.

Give me a pen.

It's in your pocket.

Jesus Christ.

Move it. Come on.

Get your hands off of me. Would ya?

Is this the way you treat a lady?

Get your hands off me.

I was sitting by the bus.

Yeah, right. Sure.

Now I get a phone call, I think--

What we've got is circumstantial at best, my man.

Shoenrock.

What the hell is he doing here?

CHESTER MCDONALD: Hey, Shoenrock.

You're becoming like a permanent fixture around here,

aren't you?

I'm here to take over all investigations

involving Bobby Cole.

Does that mean the FBI is finally going to bring Cole in?

Sorry, Brooks.

The entire operation is classified.

Oh by the way, that also includes

the investigation into the murder of Detective Stockman.

What?

You heard me.

It'll become a part of our investigation.

What do you mean, part of your investigation?

Let it go, Detective.

It's no longer any of your concern.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Mac.

Watch it, Detective.

AUGUST BROOKS: Let it go, Mac.

Hey, you'd better get your--

Do yourself a favor, Shoenrock.

Stay out of our way for a while, huh?

Yeah.

These are the checkpoints around the convention center.

One here.

One there.

Why didn't you tell me the Feds

were taking over Nicole's case?

I didn't think I needed your approval.

This is a homicide investigation, Captain.

I know that. But it's not your case.

They're going to bury this.

And you know it.

Don't talk to me like that, McDonald.

Get out of my office.

So what's up, partner?

Going for a drive.

Why would Shoenrock bury Nicole's case?

CHESTER MCDONALD: I don't know.

Because he's scum.

Come on, Mac.

This is the FBI we're talking about here.

I mean if Shoenrock is protecting Cole,

maybe there's a reason.

CHESTER MCDONALD: You know what, August?

That's always been your problem.

Excuse me?

CHESTER MCDONALD: You complicate things.

We're the good guys.

Cole is the bad guy.

That's all we need to know.

AUGUST BROOKS: Uh huh.

Our job is to enforce the law, McDonald.

CHESTER MCDONALD: Yeah?

Well, so far the law is zero for 13 against Cole.

And I'm sick and tired of losing.

And maybe that's your problem.

You think this is about you.

Screw the rules.

Chase McDonald is going to nail Bobby Cole his way.

[brakes screech]

Get out.

What?

I don't need your lecture.

Get out.

You know, you make it damn hard for someone

to feel sorry for you, McDonald.

Are you gonna get out or not?

Just drive the car, man.

[thunder]

AUGUST BROOKS: Mac, what are we doing

here in front of Cole's office?

CHESTER MCDONALD: Just want to see what's going on.

Why do I even bother talking to you?

CHESTER MCDONALD: Hello.

Cole's accountant.

Where you going?

See?

This is exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about,

McDonald.

You cannot do this.

I don't know why I didn't just get out the car earlier.

CHESTER MCDONALD: Hey, Nelson.

I want to talk to you.

Hey, Mac.

Oh, jeez.

[car horn]

[brakes screech]

[crash]

[car horns]

[police siren]

Watch it.

Out of my way, out of my way.

[crash]

[brakes screech]

[police siren]

[brakes screech]

[crash]

[brakes screech]

[crash]

[brakes screech]

[brakes screech]

Where you going?

[brakes screech]

What do you want from me?

I don't know, Nelson.

What do you have?

OK.

Let's take a look.

- Now, that's an illegal search. - Well, Nelson.

You ran. That gives me cause.

I'm not Johnnie Cochran.

But you ran.

Gives him cause.

Well, well, well.

These look important.

Bank papers. - Come on.

I can't help you.

Now Mac.

What are you doing here, Mac?

August, look.

Looks like Bobby Cole is transferring a lot of money.

No.

Now please be careful.

Those the original documents.

Original documents.

Huh.

What? No.

[tear]

CHESTER MCDONALD: Tell your boss I'll be seeing him real soon.

Have a nice day.

[car engine]

CAPTAIN JENSEN: I told you to stay away from Cole.

I didn't go near Cole.

CAPTAIN JENSEN: I don't want to hear it, McDonald.

You are suspended until further notice.

AUGUST BROOKS: Whoa, Captain.

Don't you think that's a wee bit--

CAPTAIN JENSEN: Don't go there, Brooks.

You're lucky you're not joining him.

This is coming straight from the Chief's office.

CHESTER MCDONALD: Anyone tell the Chief the Feds

decided it was OK to kill cops?

CAPTAIN JENSEN: Look, Chase.

There seems to be a complication about Detective

Stockman's death.

AUGUST BROOKS: What complications, Captain?

The FBI thinks that she may have

been working for Bobby Cole.

What?

CAPTAIN JENSEN: And she may have been

involved in Matessa's murder.

Well, that's not true, Captain.

It doesn't matter.

The FBI thinks it is.

Uh, Captain.

That sounds like some sort of smokescreen to me.

And to me, it sounds like the FBI's case.

Well, they can't do that.

CAPTAIN JENSEN: Oh yes, they can.

This is coming from way up there.

Look, Chase.

I know the suspension is not easy for you.

But this is out of my hands.

We don't have any choice.

There's always a choice.

[slam]

Captain, you know this is eating him up inside.

CAPTAIN JENSEN: I know that.

I've been doing everything I can for him.

The chief wanted his badge.

I had to fight like hell for a suspension.

Here.

The international drug summit.

I want you at the convention center tomorrow.

The Governor is getting involved.

We need absolute security.

They're even installing security cameras to monitor

street traffic there.

Um, listen, Captain.

We both know that Chase is too close to this case, right?

How about you let me ask a few questions, huh?

Let me see if I can tie Bobby to Nicole's murder.

No way, August.

Not with the heat that we're getting from the Feds.

I know this is real hard.

But we've got to let this go.

Yeah.

I figured I'd find you here.

We were laying right over there just two days ago,

August.

It's not fair.

Yeah, I know.

Just gotta give yourself some time, partner.

We deserved a chance.

AUGUST BROOKS: Sometimes that's not our choice to make.

Well, it wasn't Bobby Cole's choice.

He took her away from me.

He's going to pay.

He will.

But you have to let the system do its job.

The system.

The same system that's claiming that Nicole was dirty.

AUGUST BROOKS: Look, Mac.

We just don't have all the facts on that, my man.

CHESTER MCDONALD: Look, August.

You can keep pretending, all right,

that justice will prevail.

But I'm not going to sit around and wait for Bobby Cole

to get out from underneath another indictment.

So what do you want to do, McDonald?

You want to kill this man in cold blood?

You listen to me, McDonald.

You can't do that.

All right?

You kill this man and you still lose.

You tell me what have I got left to lose.

Mac.

I'm still your partner, Chase.

But I can't be a part of what you want to do.

I'm not throwing my life away on some scum like Bobby Cole.

I'm not asking you to.

MONTOYA: Our deal is off.

BOBBY COLE: Senor Montoya, let's not panic.

I'm sure we can get new transfer papers processed immediately.

It's not just because the money is late.

You told me you were taking care of the local police.

BOBBY COLE: We are talking about one

soon to be out of work detective.

Look, I will guarantee you that he will not bother us again.

I have too much at stake to risk another delay.

Look.

We're both upset.

There's a lot of traffic out there right now.

Why don't we just sit down, have a drink,

and discuss this like civilized people?

No thank you.

My mind is made up, Mr. Cole.

Senor Montoya, I'm begging you to reconsider.

[door slam]

Senor Montoya.

[knock]

Aw, man.

I swear.

Whatever it was, I wasn't there.

Step outside, Willie.

I want to talk to you.

McDonald.

Look, I ain't done nothing.

And I don't know nothing. All right?

So why don't you just do back in your Porsche and--

I need some hardware, Willie.

I wish I could help you, Detective McDonald.

But like I said, I ain't got no access to illegal fire arms.

Relax, Willie.

These are personal needs.

Is that a fact?

Well, that's a cute little outfit

you got there, Detective.

You going to a wedding?

Not a wedding, Willie.

A funeral.

Understood.

Let me see what I could do.

Any special requests, Detective?

You killed a detective.

What did you expect?

We had a deal.

The FBI is supposed to be covering my back.

That's when you were killing drug dealers.

Not cops.

Look.

Don't bother me with details.

We had a deal.

McDonald is still out there.

Well, he's been suspended.

If he comes anywhere near you, it will cost him his badge.

His badge?

Are you not listening to me?

He just cost me half a billion dollars.

I guess we owe you one then.

You guys owe me one?

Get that smirk off your face.

You're damn right you owe me one.

Now Senator Pack and the Colombian Drug Minister

are announcing their Anti-Drug Pact at a conference

this evening.

So?

BOBBY COLE: So they'll be sharing a limo from the hotel

to the conference center.

I need to know their route.

For what?

Well, I can allow a US-Colombian

drug pact to be announced.

That would be very bad for business.

Now you listen here.

Killing drug scum is one thing.

But there is no way I am going to let you assassinate

a United States senator.

[gun cocked]

You must have misunderstood me.

Because I'm not asking your permission.

You're not going to get away with this.

Watch me.

MONTOYA: I'm on my way to the airport, Guillermo.

The deal is off.

Yeah, we need to find another distributor.

Senor Cole is not--

well, he's not trustworthy.

[gunshots]

Get us out of here.

[gunshots]

Cole.

I will cut that bastard's heart out.

[crash]

[phone ringing]

Hello, who is this?

Senor Montoya, my arrogant friend.

How's traffic?

Damn you, Cole.

You're a dead man.

You know, that's funny.

Because I was thinking the same thing about you.

Adios, amigo.

[crash]

[crash]

You really think you can handle

the entire South American cartel all by yourself?

Why not?

SHOENROCK: What about Guillermo Montoya?

I don't think he's going to want to sell to you when he finds

out you killed his brother.

Well, I don't think that's any of your concern.

Besides, I can be very convincing.

[crash]

[screech]

[crash]

[gunshots]

It's all taken care of, Mr. Cole.

Ah.

Excellent work, Jeron.

That was easy.

The little spick is dead.

You're still going to need my connections

in the State Department to pull this thing off.

Will I?

CAPTAIN JENSEN: Jose Montoya was assassinated three hours ago.

AUGUST BROOKS: Do we know if Cole is involved?

CAPTAIN JENSEN: Feds think so.

They're ready to move in.

There's a warrant in the works even as we speak.

He must be getting ready to make a major move, Captain.

Or he's lost it.

I've got to let Chase know.

Just keep him out of the way.

AUGUST BROOKS: Right.

Partner, this should make your day.

[phone ringing]

CAPTAIN JENSEN: Brooks.

No McDonald yet?

I'm still trying, Captain.

Can't find him anywhere.

Well, it'll have to wait.

I need you down at the convention center.

The conference starts at 5:00.

[phone ringing]

It's over, Cole.

Turn around.

Turn around.

SHOENROCK: McDonald?

CHESTER MCDONALD: Shoenrock?

Hang on.

Let me call for help.

Drug conference.

There's Senator Pack.

Cole is going to hit Senator Pack.

This is Detective McDonald.

I have an officer down at 10245 Wolsher Boulevard.

[dialing phone]

Yeah.

Is the video tap ready?

Great.

I'll be right there.

What?

What do you mean, he's still alive?

How the hell did McDonald get in there in the first place?

Just shut up, Jeron.

Shut up and listen.

Everything is contingent on this hit going down as planned.

Now you have trucks and the helicopter ready.

And you wait for my orders.

I'm going to kill McDonald.

Hold this.

[police radio]

Shoot.

Get off the phone, August.

CAPTAIN JENSEN (ON PHONE): Shoenrock

is on the way to the hospital.

All we know is he was found shot in Cole's office.

Who found him, Captain?

CAPTAIN JENSEN (ON PHONE): 9-1-1 operator says that Detective

McDonald phoned it in.

Chase?

CAPTAIN JENSEN (ON PHONE): He's wanted for questioning.

Captain, you don't think Chase shot Shoenrock, do you?

August, I don't know what I think anymore.

[sirens]

[beeping] BOBBY COLE: Trucks.

Move into position.

[engine revving]

[beeps]

Choppers, move into position.

[chopper propellers]

Yeah.

[inaudible]

[phone ringing]

Yeah.

It's Brooks. - August, it's Chase.

AUGUST BROOKS (ON PHONE): Mac?

Mac, what the hell is going on?

They think you shot Shoenrock.

CHESTER MCDONALD (ON PHONE): Listen to me, August.

Cole is going after Senator Pack.

He's going to try and kill a senator.

All right, all right, all right.

Listen.

You'd better be right about this.

OK?

You just get somewhere and get lost for a while.

Call me in a few hours and stay away from Bobby Cole.

Right.

Listen, Sykes.

Get on the radio. Alert all units.

There's going to be an assassination

attempt on Senator Pack and the Colombian drug minister.

Knock these barricades down for me.

[chopper propeller]

Trucks one and two, let the party begin.

[sirens]

[beeping]

[sirens]

[sirens]

[explosion]

Ha.

[laughter]

[explosion]

[crash]

[screech]

[sirens]

Truck three.

Take them out.

[screech]

[crash]

[laughter]

[sirens]

MINISTER: Police, Police. Over here.

Help us. - Senator?

Minister?

You gentlemen OK?

SENATOR: I think so.

What happened?

Oh my God.

To the back of the car, sir.

[gunshots]

[crash]

[gunshots]

Choppers, let's finish it up.

[choppers]

[gunshots]

[sirens]

[screech]

So this is your version of getting lost?

Is this your version of shooting?

Be my guest.

[gunshots]

Mac.

Uh oh.

I got just the thing for this, August.

Where the hell did you get that?

You don't want to know.

Do you know what you're doing?

$20 bucks says I knock them down with one shot.

AUGUST BROOKS: You're on.

I'm gonna be over here.

[explosion]

[explosion]

Nice shot, partner.

[explosion]

What the hell is going on down there?

Chopper two, go in there and finish it out.

Mac?

Yeah?

I think I see a chance to win my money back.

All right.

Double or nothing?

You're on.

[gunshots]

[explosion]

[crash]

[explosion]

[explosion]

Well, that's the best damn $40 bucks I ever spent.

[crash]

You're dead, McDonald. You're dead, McDonald.

[sirens]

Yeah.

Captain wants you back down to the station, Mac,

for de-briefing with the Feds.

What about Cole?

Man just tried to kill a federal agent.

He planned to assassinate a senator.

Offhand, I'd say he's looking at some hard time.

If they find him.

Bobby Cole doesn't know how to keep a low profile.

They're going to find him, all right.

Why do I have my doubts, August?

Listen, Mac.

Bobby is going to answer for killing Nicole.

I'd say it's about over for him.

But you've got to let this thing go.

[sirens]

COP: Detective Brooks, can you clarify something please?

Excuse me.

Yeah.

What's up, Milton?

[phone ringing]

McDonald.

BOBBY COLE (ON PHONE): It's time we settled this game of ours

once and for all, Detective.

Where are you, Cole?

BOBBY COLE (ON PHONE): It must have

been hard to watch her die.

It was easy to have her killed.

If you want to settle this, you tell me where and when.

BOBBY COLE (ON PHONE): San Pedro.

12546 Harbor Way.

I'll be waiting.

I'm on my way.

[car engine]

Where the hell is he going in such a hurry?

Let me see that.

[foghorn]

[sniff]

[sniff]

Well, hello, Detective.

You planning on taking me in?

I'm not here to arrest you, Cole.

You know, I have to admit, McDonald.

You do have guts.

You know, in a strange way, I'm actually going to miss you.

So are you ready to die?

Are you?

[gunshots]

[screech]

BOBBY COLE: Hey, Chase.

What's it like to bleed?

[sirens]

[gunshots]

What are you doing here?

I owe you $40 bucks.

- How'd you find me? - I'm a Detective, hell.

Remember?

[gunshots]

Are you sure you want to be part of this?

Well, you know, if you get killed,

I'd never get a chance with my $40 bucks back.

Need a Band-Aid?

Nah.

Band-Aids are for wimps.

Want to do this?

On three?

Three.

[gunshots]

He's mine.

Cover me.

[gunshots]

[gunshots]

BOBBY COLE: I'm out of bullets, McDonald.

Well, isn't that a shame?

Yeah.

Stay put.

[grunt]

So what are you going to do?

Shoot an unarmed man?

I'm considering it.

Pick it up.

What?

Pick it up.

[laughing]

Doesn't this kind of remind you of an episode of "Gunsmoke?"

I never watched "Gunsmoke."

Really?

AUGUST BROOKS: Mac.

Bobby, drop the gun.

Put the friggin gun down.

Mac.

Mac?

Mac?

Talk to me, partner.

Did I get him?

You got him, Mac.

Dead?

Stone cold.

Listen, just hang on.

All right?

Help is on the way.

Today was a good day, August.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's a good day.

Yeah, partner.

A real good day.
