This is 20 William 10, officers Truett and Beckwith heading north off Flower.

We have a visual on suspect.

Detective Flaw is on foot.

Where did Sumo boy go?

Sumos are from Japan, Einstein.

I hear this guy's the fastest fat man in China.

Thank you very much for the geography lesson.

Now, would you

What took you so long?

Do you know how hard it is to run on these pads?

Remember the move I showed you?

I'm a paid professional.

I know how to sell a punch.

Show me. Ah!

Hey, not so hard, man.

Sorry.

Watch it! now!

All right! Drop your weapon!

you bozos wants to read me my rights?

Me. Make it quick, bud.

I want to call my lawyer and have him meet me downtown.

Ah!

Yee!

Yee!

Have you meet you at the morgue?

Ah!

Hey!

Ah! Is there a problem? Looks like self-defense to me.

Yeah, uh, Ferb wouldn't drop his gun.

Guys like that never learn.

From what we saw, he did it totally by the book, Cap.

Yeah, we're gonna run this down.

Okay, let's go.

Well, I think he got the picture.

It was a pleasure backing you up, Detective.

If you need anything, call.

You know, I'm guessing the 1,500 members of the Stuntman's Association that are

actually employed.

Dee Dee, don't be a buzz kill.

I just came from a performance of my life.

Please don't call me Dee Dee.

I used to love that nickname when we were hitched.

That was that waitress from Hooters.

I can't remember her name exactly.

It was something animated like Dumbo or Daffy.

Is it my fault that I'm Fidelity Challenged?

Yeah, I think so. Come on, you gotta admit, I made you guys look good tonight.

Well, I kinda liked the thing with the flailing arms.

I thought that was kinda nice. Hey, could you spot me a hundred and tell your

people to cut me a check?

Sure.

I'm a little short on cash.

I'm a little short on cash.

Well, I gotta give your ex-hubby one thing.

He most definitely has flair.

Yeah?

You should see him take a punch.

Chewed him back with backed up Sammo's story.

Last night's thing went off without a hitch except for throwing Lance through that

window.

That door was locked.

Look, we're dealing with a vigilante cop ring here.

No more improvising.

Okay, Lieutenant, let me ask you something.

Why are we investigating this case?

Isn't it an internal affairs problem?

Well, the person who brought this case to my attention believes these cops might

have an inside man in IA. Ooh, so when do we get to meet this deep throat?

Yeah. Come on, I think it's time you lifted the code of silence on this one.

Come on, Lieutenant. The suspense is killing us.

My source is Judge Mary Rubin.

We're old friends. Her son David was killed a few months back.

She's convinced that these vigilante cops were behind it.

David, Rubin, wasn't he the uniform over at Rampart?

Yeah, right, exactly.

I was his sergeant his first year out of the academy.

So that's why she came to see me.

Right. Didn't the report say David was killed in a drive-by?

A couple of days before he was killed, David told his mother he'd found out about a

group inside the department who call themselves the Brotherhood.

And two nights later, he was gunned down outside of a convenience store while his

partner, Scott Truitt, was getting coffee.

The judge's instincts are good.

Our job here is to find out how many cops are involved in this Brotherhood and

who's running it. I'm counting on Truitt and Beckwith to invite Sammo into the

fold.

Lace must stay dead.

Oh, you're kidding with me.

Don't be so amused.

Guy had a hell of a curveball.

You knew him? Yeah.

Played in the LAPD baseball league.

Struck me out three times.

Don't feel bad, detective.

David played a season in the minors.

Dreams of becoming a Dodger?

I hate to admit it, but he was a die-hard Yankees fan.

We feel very sorry for your loss.

And I honor your ask for our help.

Thank you, Sammo. I believe I've uncovered two more members of the Brotherhood.

Yeah. Officers Rojanovich and Peter Zahn.

Yes. Please, have a seat.

They were the first to arrive on the crime scene of five recent homicides.

All the victims were career criminals who had dodged conviction on a technicality.

So far we have four potential members in eight murders.

Nine, if you count David.

He stood up to them. That's why they took him out.

Is there any evidence?

Unfortunately not.

All the crime scenes were squeaky clean.

They target criminals in different areas, so none of the cases seem related.

Okay. Well, thank you, Judge.

We'll keep you posted.

Sammo, if they recruit you, please be careful.

These cops consider themselves a breed above others.

When they found David, his badge was missing, and I... I think they took it because

they didn't consider him worthy to have it.

Don't worry. I can think pretty fast on my feet.

And on his head, on his back, on his hands.

Just be careful.

I will honor your son's memory and bring these cops to justice.

So then, he just Bruce Lee's the guy right off the sixth story.

That, boys, is why you have order in a country of 1.

2 billion people.

Yeah, and he doesn't even need a gun to get the job done.

A guy like that could come in handy.

Cut down on our clean-up time.

Let me think about it.

Now that we're all here, gentlemen, meet Carlos Bianco.

Drug dealer. Walked out of court a free man.

Even though the DEA found 20 keys of heroin stuffed under his kitchen sink.

How the hell did he walk?

Some bureaucrat stamped the wrong date on a search warrant.

Boys, time to pass the hat.

These badges are symbols of honor, worn by men who understand the true meaning of

justice. For justice.

For justice. For justice.

For justice. All right.

For justice.

Let's see who gets to carry out the sentence.

Get Trude and Beckwither in traffic court the rest of the afternoon.

Time for lunch. Absolutely.

I was thinking the same thing.

And today's your lucky day, Sammo, because I am going to let you in on the best-

kept secret in L.A. You are going to love wraps.

I know. I like Puffy Daddy.

No. No, no, no, no.

It's not music. It's food.

You see?

You wrap it.

Yeah.

You wrap food in China or a ghost patch.

No, we're not connecting here, big guy.

You see, the actual food is called a wrap.

You see that? Big tortilla.

You can put anything you like in the middle.

You see, the wrap is a wrap.

Chicken, lettuce, salsa.

Pork belly?

Yeah, I guess there's pork belly.

I'm first!

May

I borrow your skateboard?

Hey, my board!

Hey! Yeah!

Hands up! L.A.P.D.! That was hot!

Thank you!

No problem! Smooth, Sammo!

Can I steal order?

Lance! Better not be sleeping in my bed!

Two amber, blue skies, Lance Carter.

Hey, Dee Dee. What part of do not leave the house did you not understand?

I just went out to get some coffee.

Relax. Nobody saw me.

I'm an actor. I know how to blend in.

Mm-hmm.

Now you're going to be blending into this coffee table.

Enjoy your coffee.

What time you got? Should be any time now.

Novich and Zahn have been sitting out there for a while now.

So you did handcuff Lance to something solid, right?

Yeah, yeah. He's secure.

I just, I had to have a break from him today.

But I gotta tell you, this is like watching paint dry.

Yeah, tell me about it.

Oh, wait a minute. I thought you loved stakeouts.

I thought you loved stakeouts.

I do.

I like camping with guns.

Carlos, that is Paul.

Make a message.

It's your lawyer.

Hurry up!

Come on!

Hey, Bianco!

him

to the punch.

I'll get the back.

Watch yourself. Step away from the body.

Back off!

Detectives, step away from the body.

We got it.

You said we got it. Put it down!

I'm with him.

Okay, we're all on the same team.

Julian, I'll tell you what, if he's dead, he's ours.

He's ours, huh?

Yeah, got it. Okay, we broke their system.

The cops work in tandem.

Two take out the suspect, while the other two position themselves to be first.

They're the same.

So they clean up all the evidence.

Well, that explains a lot.

If we hadn't been at La Carmena, Novich and Zahn would have cleaned out all the

evidence before CSU even got there.

Yeah, we beat him to the punch this time.

Actually, we recovered one of the bullets, ballistics, he's running it as we speak.

We're Yeah, what about Truett and Beckwith?

I was watching him chow down on Tommy Burgers at the time of the shooting.

Which means the ring is even bigger than we thought.

And Sammo, no calls?

No, but it takes time to win acceptance.

We must be patient.

Yeah, you're right. All right, well, let's press on.

Thank you. That's a very, very good idea.

That's a very impressive bunch you've gathered there, Ben.

Oh, thanks. I like to think of them as my eclectic dream team.

You know, at one point I was hoping that David would be able to join us.

He would have liked that. You were a real inspiration to him.

Yeah, Mary, I know that today they're dedicating David's plaque down at Rampart.

Are you sure you don't want someone to go with you?

I learned after Harold died, if I have a shoulder to cry on, I cry.

I get through these things better by myself.

Thanks.

Come on, Jeff, you're a junior talent agent.

Take some initiative.

Send a messenger.

Good, that's the way.

Yeah, I'll be here. Oh, yes.

Ballistics match the bullet to a weapon being held in evidence control.

Very smart.

Yep, if the weapon's ever traced, it's got an airtight alibi.

I'm gonna go fill Woodchip in.

You do that.

Samuel, let me ask you something, man.

Back in Shanghai, did Grace, you know, did she ever have a boyfriend?

No, she was too busy working.

Really?

Here it is, but you must have had the wrong tray.

This gun's been sealed for six months.

What the hell are you doing?

You don't ever open the evidence bags.

Hey, this isn't Blockbuster.

We don't check out murder weapons.

Recently fired.

All right, listen, I'm gonna have to see that duty roster.

All duty officers are security clear.

You're wasting your time.

You don't understand, I need to see the roster.

No.

Give me the roster.

I'm reporting it to you, Lieutenant.

Hey, knock yourself out, man.

What about your interest?

Believe it or not, we like to keep the place clean.

This has to get to my agent's desk today, understand?

Hey, I got it. Thank you.

Hey, Beattie.

Did you get any ice cream?

How in the hell did you get out of those handcuffs?

Please, I'm a professional stuntman.

Pizza delivery.

You ordered pizza?

Yes.

Jacobo Special, your favorite.

Hi.

Hi.

One Jacopo Special.

Oh my God, you're Lance Carter, the TV star.

This is incredible.

I'm sorry, you actually recognize him?

What do you mean? He's a legend.

He did the epic claw fight as Torso in Xena Warrior Princess.

Mr. Carter, can I hit you up for an autograph?

Yeah.

How about a head shot?

Excellent.

I'm making out to Chad.

Oh, to Chad.

Love your pies.

This is getting center square on the Jacopo wall thing.

Thanks.

Oh, wait, wait, wait.

There you go.

Keep the change.

Wow, thanks a lot.

Well, look at that.

An actual member.

Card carrying member of the Lance Carter fan club.

At least somebody believes in my talent.

Honey, I always believed in your talent.

It was just your lack of employment that drove me crazy.

I have a feeling that will be changing very soon.

Thank you.

You want to share a slice?

Oh, no.

No, no, because the last time we shared a slice...

No, I don't think we should do that.

Mmm. I forget how good it is.

You know, I really miss being around you all the time like this, Dana.

Doug, one slice. Evidence control officers came up clean.

How'd you do with the janitorial staff?

Check out this guy, Rusty Brown.

I found a little glitch in his file.

The fingerprints on his record, they're not his.

They're his cousin's. What's Rusty trying to hide?

A year at Folsom on a B&E rap.

I figure the vigilantes are using that to squeeze him.

Okay, so Rusty gets the gun.

He killed Bianco with it.

Give it back to Rusty.

He seals it. Puts it back in evidence before breakfast.

What do you think?

Works for me.

This is Samuel.

I'll be right over.

Tour and back with one to see me.

So we heard about your lack of transportation.

We don't think cops should have to take the bus.

We pulled a few strings.

Got you hooked up with an impound car.

Thank you. It's no big deal.

In China, you can't just get a car.

We're a brotherhood.

We like to look after our own.

We even get together on the weekends and help out in the community.

Try and improve the image of the LAPD. How many cops are in the brotherhood?

Just know that somebody's always got your back.

I like this one.

Whatever rocks your world. Whatever rocks your world.

Automatic, huh?

A big plus.

Keys are above the visor.

Does this mean I'm now a member of the brotherhood?

Why don't we take your new wheels for a spin and we'll talk about that.

You recognize that, Rusty?

It was used to pop Carlos Bianco yesterday.

Then, Shazam.

It's back in evidence control this morning.

I'm guessing between midnight and 3 a.

m. That's your shift, isn't it, Rusty?

Yeah, I'm a detective.

That's your shift, isn't it, Rusty?

Look, Rusty, we know about your record.

We can help you.

Tell us who's putting the squeeze on you, Rusty.

Or maybe you'd rather go up on account of conspiracy to commit murder.

It was two young guns, Oswell and Manila.

Welcome, gentlemen. What's up?

You're Sam. Got on the heavy side to be doing all that kung fu crap the boys have

been telling me about.

Marshal Austin, you're a good man.

It's about finding your center.

Mine is just easier to spot.

Lieutenant Tom McNiece, LAPD, retired.

Is this your house?

No, it's a pet project.

Like-minded cops get together, build homes for victims that need a helping hand.

A noble enterprise.

Take a look. So I heard you took out a Major League dirt bag.

In self-defense.

Sure it was.

It's OK. There's no secrets in my house.

In China, accidents like that happen all the time.

I was wondering if you'd heard anything about the Bianco murder.

Your unit handled it.

They keep me in the dark.

I get the feeling maybe not everybody on the job appreciates your unique style of

police work. No.

The system here can be frustrating.

That's because it's designed to protect the wrong people.

It's twisted. It favors the guilty rather than the innocent.

I would like to help twist it back into shape.

There may be room for you in our brotherhood.

But first, you'll have to prove you're willing to go the distance for the cause.

Sure. You have a little problem needs fixing.

A judge named Mary Robben.

Tom McNeice.

You know him?

Only too well. He was kicked off the force about five years ago.

He said he retired.

That's the official story, but it didn't go down exactly like that.

Mac and I were on a team that was taken out of Crack House, but the bus went bad.

I watched while McNeice blew away two on-arm dealers.

Why wasn't he brought up on charges?

Code of silence.

Except for me. Except for me.

I reported him. But the higher ups, well, they didn't want another scandal,

so they retired him.

Actually threw him a party.

All right.

If McNeice is soliciting Sammo, we can arrest him, right?

No. No?

We must think about it like water buffalo.

I knew I overlooked something.

If we race into the heart, we only catch one or two.

If we surround him, we get them all.

Sammo's right. Technically, McNeice hasn't asked him to do anything.

And as for Rusty, I don't know if a jury's going to take the word of an ex-con over

that of two decorated officers.

What are you suggesting, Sammo?

That you use me as the bait.

Oh, come on.

No way.

These men killed my son in cold blood, Ben.

And if putting myself out there as the target is what it's going to take to bring

them down, then I am more than willing to do that.

OK. But I'm putting everyone on this thing.

Somebody on the inside told them I pulled those files.

They can have a member in IA. They can have one in your department.

We don't know who we can trust.

We watch. We wait.

All right. Um, Lewis, I want you, Dana, and Grace to watch the judge 24-7.

When he's seeing McNeice against Sammo.

He told me to come by a bar called Colt Red.

How's the Cadillac? Larry Rubin.

Fellas, we have a new recruit, Sammo Long.

Today, it's his initiation.

Judge Mary Rubin.

She's our target. I don't know about that.

Taking out bad guys is one thing.

Taking out judges is another.

Justice has many enemies.

Would you like a fight? Would you like a full list of all the criminals she's let

walk on technicalities?

The cases she's thrown out because of lack of sufficient evidence?

Defense attorneys celebrate with glee when they draw her courtroom.

More to the point, my sources inform me that Judge Mary Rubin has taken an

unhealthy interest in some of your files.

Our work is too important to be dismantled.

Then we take her out.

Gentlemen, it's time to pass the hat.

Justice.

For justice. Throw your badge in with the true men of honor.

Yeah, hold on. Lance!

It's your agent.

Hey, buddy.

I'm a huge fan of his work.

He really wants me?

This is great!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Later. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

More screen. Joe and Claude Van Damme's people saw my new tape.

They want me to be his stunt double in his next movie.

Wow. Really?

Yeah.

Linda, I'm very proud of you.

Thank you.

Wait a minute. What new tape?

You don't have a new tape.

Well, I sort of borrowed the, um...

The high fall.

It's evidence in an ongoing case!

I can't... I'm never having pizza with you again.

Hello? Yeah, I'll be right there.

I just need to find Lance, a babysitter.

Pizza? Babysitter?

Come on, baby.

Why are you so angry?

Okay, Gidget.

Lance just wants to use the phone.

Okay, okay, okay.

Here. How about a bone?

One now, and one after I call my agent.

Here you go. That's a dog.

Good boy.

Good boy.

What are you doing? Okay.

All right.

It's only a local call.

Samo, you ride with Novich and Zahn.

No calls when we're on an assignment.

Keep your eyes open for dog walkers.

I'm

going to walk around for a second.

Okay. Brat!

Ow! You got her?

No, I got you.

Smells good.

What the... Let me get a couple slices.

Excuse me. You know this guy?

Yes. Lance Carter.

You know, famous stuntman.

Yeah, I think we caught one of his performances the other night.

Really?

I just saw him yesterday.

He didn't mention he was doing anything.

What we're going to need is address.

Hello.

Lieutenant McNeese, get this.

Samo set us up.

The guy we saw him kill is a stuntman.

He used to be married to one of Winship's cops.

I think they underestimate who they're playing with.

I can't believe you left me all alone with Kujo.

I mean, that's how cruel and unusual punishment.

I don't know what is.

Well, I'll tell you about cruel and unusual punishment.

Cruel and unusual punishment is paying 20% of my salary when I was only married to

you for a year of my life.

Guess what?

What?

I got a job on my own without your help.

Thank you.

No, no, no. You didn't get it on your own.

You betrayed me and you put both our lives in danger.

All right.

That's it.

I'm calling a cab and I'm getting out of here.

Fine. Why is your phone line dead?

What? Get down! Where's your gun?

your back, elbow and ankles, right?

I only have one gun, Lance.

Stay down.

Get down! Get down!

Dana! Dana!

Yeah? You okay? I'm

fine.

You make a good team, Dee Dee.

Yeah.

Pizza?

Yeah, what the hell.

Lou!

Clear!

Damn it.

McNeese must have gotten word.

Probably took the first plane out of here.

McNeese is not the kind of man who runs.

He is waiting for us.

Why the hell would he do that, Sammo?

He thinks he He will watch, He thinks he is a man of honor.

He will watch, defend his cause.

You're right. I know where McNeese is.

Okay, then I'll go with Sammo.

Alright, I'm gonna take Grace.

We're gonna head down to Parker Center.

We got a bad cop who's gonna tell us everything we need to know.

Yeah, remember, no I.A. Absolutely not.

We got the feds helping us with this debriefing.

Yeah, good. Look, I want you to divide up those cops and put the squeeze on them.

Beyond McNeese, I want the names, rank, and badge numbers of every cop involved in

this thing. Lieutenant Winship.

I guess if you kiss enough brass, anything's possible.

Pretending to be a cop again, Mac?

Your outfit's starting to get a little too tight.

What would you know about being a cop?

You're just a bureaucrat with a badge.

Well, coming from a murderer, I'll take that as a compliment.

We are cleaning up our streets.

We're making sure people are safe from the scum that slip through the courts.

We're giving justice a helping hand.

Where does it all end, though, Mac?

I mean, first you kill criminals, then a cop, and now you want to take out a judge?

We're standing up for justice in a time when no one else will.

But look on the bright side.

Now you can get your picture on the wall.

Right next to David Rubin.

Hey!

Oh! Ow! Shit!

Oh! Shit! Hey!

Ow! Ah!

Oh! Ah!

Hey! Ow! Yeah, girl!

Ow! Ow! Oh!

Oh! Oh!

Oh! Quick, quick! Oh!

Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!

Ow! Ow!

Yeah! Yeah!

I found this in McNeese's trailer.

His things.

Thank you. I know that nothing can bring David back,

but maybe now his death won't be in vain.

I'm sorry, I didn't know how much for the brotherhood.

They named 12 members of the ring.

Including Beckwith's cousin in I.A. Good, good work.

Do me a favor and see that the judge gets home.

One question. Shoot.

Can I keep the car?
