This is one of the best how you handle traffic accidents.

The accident was caused by 80 rounds of ammo.

Uh -huh. How many dead guys we got? We got five.

Five? You can get five guys in this?

Inger and I looked at this exact model. We thought it wasn't roomy enough.

I think I can maybe get a deal for you on this one.

Anybody we know?

Two guys in the front used to hang in Tommy G. Rome's gang.

Cammy, Tommy, Jerome.

Harry Babbage cousin?

Very same.

I thought he left out after he and his brother had a falling out. Oh, you mean

when they tried to blow each other's brains out? Yeah.

Maybe he came back to settle an old score.

Okay, middle of the street, middle of the day.

Tell me somebody saw something.

All sorts of people around. Of course, nobody saw anything.

Drive -by genocide has that effect on people, you know.

Did you hear that?

What?

Take him, Marie.

Well,

well, well, well, well.

Take it easy, you little pig. Be running around in the trunk of a car.

Looks like we do have a witness, boys.

Stay right there.

Don't move.

All right, come.

when they pulled their guns out and said, hey, this is a carjacking.

I was off the freeway at Taylor Street.

Yeah, well, Taylor Street's not off the freeway, Darren.

Well, I was somewhere around in there. Fine.

You might want to check that out.

Oh, golly gee.

Darren, I see you got the heroin option with your car. I do not know whose that

is. We do.

Take his shoes off.

Come over here. Jump.

Get the socks off, too.

Darren, you've either got one vicious case of athlete's foot there, or those

needle tracks there, Bubba.

I was down in Hunter's Point trying to purchase some product.

Okay. As long as you're telling the truth, Darren, what did the guys in the

have to say? And I'm assuming the trunk wasn't soundproof.

If these guys find out I cooperated, I'm dead.

Uh, they're already dead.

Yeah, well, they might have friends.

Darren, one last time.

Either you talk to me or I'm going to take your ass down there and you can do

your strip show in front of the judge.

I'm going to go get rid of some guy in their own gang named Ten Speed.

Why?

They thought this Ten Speed guy was going to set them up to be taken out

A rival gang.

We're going to knock him off first.

Well, I guess they just didn't move fast enough.

What did they say this ten -speed guy was?

The guy in the back was giving directions.

Corner of Steiner and Grange.

See, it wasn't that easy.

Give me all that grief, Soros.

Now have a nice time in rehab. What do you say, all right?

Hang in there, Darren.

Or call Ginger over at the gang task force. Ooh, the redhead.

Yeah, the redhead.

Ever get the government name on a two -tray gangster named Tin?

And then go find him. My gears are engaged.

Hey, Nassman, these dead guys were really packing.

We got three Uzis, two TAC -9s, four shotguns, and four 9mms.

Yeah, I get the picture.

How many shooters?

The shell casing's, I'd say, three, probably four.

All right.

We'll work the dead guys and the rival gangs.

Got it. Hey, can we get some coffee first? All this rain is making me cold.

What are you, crazy? That's a fire hydrant.

I hope.

Well, whatever.

It didn't feel warm, did it?

What?

I'm thinking if we work with electronics.

I've been looking all over for you.

How'd you find us?

Great police work.

No, really, I didn't find us.

Look at this batch of talk. Listen, I've got to talk to you.

Rick, we're working on a case right here. We're kind of busy. Well, this is

important.

By all means, go. All right, go, go, go, go.

I'm going.

Go.

Okay, I've got to work a case, too.

A case?

Yeah, as director of police investigations, they mandated that I

least one field case a year.

Get out of that, man.

Have your mommy write you a note.

That's good, Joe. I like that. All right.

I've taken the liberty of printing out this list of all of your open cases.

What about that one?

Uh, the beauty pageant case? Yeah.

Nah, you wouldn't be interested in that. Besides, Evan's already on there.

Yeah, like Lou, and I'm starting it tomorrow.

All right, well, good. Then so am I. Thanks a lot, Rick, but, um, I really

need a partner.

It's a fluff case, Rick. It would be a waste of your time.

You're better than that. No, I'm not. Listen, if I say I'm going to work this

case, I'm going to work this case.

Well, actually, that would be my decision.

You see, I am the commanding officer, and the commanding officer picks the

cases.

And frankly, I've got some concerns about whether or not you're qualified

for this particular gig.

Well, Nash, if this is a case about a beauty pension, I promise you I'm

qualified. Now, what is the gig?

Okay, we're looking for a female con artist who's famous for killing her

She's on the land from Miami.

We got a tip that she's... hiding out here in town as a contestant for a local

beauty contest.

Well, what's the problem? Why don't you just go down there and arrest her?

Well, she's a chameleon, Rick. She uses a lot of aliases. She changes her look

all the time.

That means we don't know what she looks like.

And we only know she goes by the name Alex.

That's it. That's your big case.

Okay, I'm on it. End of discussion.

Oh, okay. Look, Rick, you got me convinced.

Okay.

Time here.

Here. And here.

That's it. It's sealed.

No tickets.

No problem.

Rick, did I mention that this is an undercover case?

No, you didn't.

Well, it is.

And the contest is a transgender beauty pageant.

Alex. It's a woman posing as a man posing as a woman.

In that way, she can blackmail rich guys who go for the full sex.

You know, when you think about it, she's pretty clever.

She'll be very challenging.

Yeah, don't worry about it. It'll be fun.

Wait, what the hell did you say?

Uh, Evan, we'll take you through the drill.

What's up, baby?

You looking for something?

I'm looking for a guy named Ten Speed.

You know where I can find him? You just found him, baby. What do you need?

If you can pronounce it, I can procure it for you. Dime bag, black tarp.

Coming up.

It's not very hygienic, is it? Heat it up. It'll kill the germs.

I got a better idea.

Why don't you spit out the rest?

Come on, I'll give you a Heimlich maneuver, all right?

Hey, hey!

Why do they always have to run?

first time dealer i'm a juvie baby i probably won't even serve time is that

right well perhaps you're not grasping the gravity here at 10 speed you know

five people are dead because of you of course when you get your law degree

you'll understand that the sentence thing for setting up five people to get

blown away is the same as pulling the trigger yourself but it is oh yeah it is

i might be able to help you if you help me you're gonna need help about now

Who put you up to setting up this ambush?

There's this new brother.

Name's Obadiah Crow.

He's taking over all the neighborhood, block by block.

Said he was gonna kill me if I help him. I had to do it. And where might we find

this Obadiah Crow?

Kareem Abul -Jamar.

He's the only OG in my clique left.

He'll know.

Jamar with an M. So that's not the basketball player or the football

Nah, man.

This guy's semi -retired.

Stays in a big house on Greenfield.

Brick steps, iron gate, you can't miss it.

Okay, Ten Speed.

You might have been some help there.

So, when's your birthday?

What?

Need to get you a helmet.

Dash.

Yeah, I got a name for you.

I cannot work like this. I'm sorry, Mr. Watt.

Apology not accepted, Larry. I ask you to do a simple task.

And you failed me, miserably. I only had an hour. I mean, I've limited by what I

could find in the storage space. Listen, apologies are for people who cannot get

the job done.

May I remind you that we're putting on a beauty pageant here, not a freak show.

Wait a second, wait a second. Is there, like, a problem here? Yeah, there's,

like, a problem with your attitude.

Pardon me?

Dressing room?

Oh, um, honey, it's upstairs.

Go on, upstairs.

Two girls, two rooms.

Right there, that's her, that's Alex. Which one?

Come on, girl.

Let's go, baby.

How come you're tired?

Instinct. That's instinct.

Hey, I want to share a dressing room with the blonde.

Let's get something straight right here, right now.

Y 'all ain't coming within ten city blocks of this pageant dressed like

Now, this pageant is very important to the public relations and positive image

of my community.

It's bad enough we got a sociopathic murderer trying to ruin everything.

I can't have y 'all up in here downgrading the competition.

Just like some trailer park. Lucy, look at you.

And you, looking like Sasquatch's wife on bingo night. No.

You better check it, because it's not going to happen.

So y 'all better figure out something else.

What about our investigation?

Okay. All right.

Ladies, let's go.

We're going shopping.

Catchy tune. I've heard that before.

Church?

Great plan.

Hey. Hey, Tommy Jerome from Double Rock, right? How you been, Bubba?

I've been looking for you. What are we claiming? Completely legit.

Yeah, sure you are.

I'm Mother Teresa. Nice place you got here, Tommy. Would have set you back a

couple million.

I pay taxes and I'm in the music business.

Really? What kind of music?

Gospel. And my name ain't Tommy anymore.

I converted to Islam.

My name is Kareem Abdul Jamar.

Well, we've been looking for you, Kareem.

You know these guys?

I can't help you. I'm not part of that world anymore.

Come on, Tommy. Who would do this? I don't know. I retired from that gang.

Come on, Tommy. You were the only OG not in that car. You know, the same car

that was on its way to Captain Speed and your rivals.

I'm going to make you unfinished business, Tommy.

It's Kareem.

Hey, baby.

So who's the company?

Yeah, baby.

Oh, just some salesmen.

Listen, thanks for the warning, but I'm not getting involved.

All right, just tell me where I can find Obadiah Crowe. We'll leave you alone.

Never heard of him.

Some things never change.

You're still an incredibly lousy liar, Tommy. It's Kareem.

And I got nothing to say, so unless you're gonna arrest me, leave.

Can't argue with that. Come on, Joe.

All we can do is ask.

Bill of free country. Hey, uh, we'll see you, Tommy. It's Kareem!

What the hell was up with that? I thought you were going to squeeze him

grape. Then I get raisins.

I want a little more juice out of our old buddy.

San Francisco.

Devon Williams.

Well, here we

are, Devon.

I can see that we're here. I just don't know where in the hell here is.

And just what the hell am I doing here anyway?

We'll be right back.

Uh, yeah, what he said.

Chill.

That was the longest drive of my life. No, no, no. The drive back is going to

the longest drive of your life.

I don't think we should do that.

We've got to believe that it's for his own good. I'm going to worry about him.

I'm going to worry about her.

Oh, this is a wrap.

I'm calling Johnny Conklin. Hey, wait, wait.

You just tell me where I can find Obadiah Crow, and I'm out of your face,

brother. Oh, my God, you brought her.

Devon?

Oh, well, you know what? I remembered that y 'all had some unfinished

so we're just trying to do our part in helping you resolve it. No need to thank

us. Marie!

Oops, this is inhumane.

We could go in the house. You want to go in the house? Then he could shut the

door. No, no, and get her out of here. Who is it, hon?

It's the mailman, baby. Get her out of here.

What are you saying? Come on, let's go.

Obadiah Crow.

I told you I don't know. Tell me.

Oop. Is that Tommy?

Baby, Devon, you know, I was meaning to call you. What, for the last 18 months?

You live here? I can explain, baby. You know, I was...

First, and I'm not afraid to use it.

Besides, we're doing this for you.

Don't insult my intelligence.

Hell, I have to fury like two women scorned.

Bias is grass.

And you don't have to put me in a witness protection program.

Well, we can discuss that.

Just as soon as you decide to help us.

Where do we find Obadiah?

Man, I don't know. I'm out of that now. I told you. Well, then how do you

explain the fact that every Tuesday and Thursday you have lunch with... Well,

you used to have lunch with your old homies. Man, I'm a good son. Since when

that against the law?

Give me the dope, I don't...

Take it to his boss.

Dude's name is Bruce Sutcliffe.

Of the Sutcliffe mining family?

I think he's the cousin.

Mucho dinero.

Now, wait a minute. You're saying that Bruce Sutcliffe is in the drug business?

It's cash heavy.

Margins are high, overhead is minimal, and let's not even talk about the tax

benefits. All right, we'll check it out. In the meantime, you're going to be on

ice for a while, Bubba. At a hotel?

That's right.

Cool, now we're talking. Where?

Oh, well...

The value mart is a mini suites hotel. It's a very nice place. It's a roach

motel, man. They don't even have room service.

All they got is a coffee pot and a bathroom.

Bubba, I am thinking that it's a hell of a lot better than that hotel you're

running over there in Pacific Heights right now.

is to make a woman out of you.

Don't make my job any harder, okay? If I have to be a B -name, I don't want it

to be a B -name.

Why don't you call me... Rick.

Oh, wait.

Rick, what are you doing here?

That's how you pocket man rule. You need a backup, so I'm going to be enjoying

the spectacle from the audience.

Thank you.

Mom, what color does this one have?

Oh, Alyssa.

Dolce.

You are flawless.

Two strong rings, I might put a move on you.

Harvey. See, what I say about the shoes, girl, they are the only ones that match

my outfit.

Okay, fine.

I've only been doing drag since grade school.

You know what's best.

Oh, God, they're staring at us. Finally, you're getting the picture.

Hey, baby.

Welcome to the universal runway of love. Shut up.

Harvey.

Hey.

You got a minute?

I guess so.

Since you're late.

Easy, Mom. What a suck.

Listen, I'll catch up to you guys in a few rolls later, okay?

Yeah.

Who's that?

It's OG.

It's old girl.

You're kidding.

Yeah, Harv busted her once and then hung out for a little while after she got

out of jail.

Harv got a piece of that?

Let's gloss or drool.

You never returned my calls.

I know.

I, uh... How's that TV movie coming?

I fell through.

My network decided it was too controversial.

Couldn't see how to make an advocate of marijuana sympathetic.

They should have called me.

You weren't returning calls.

Remember?

Move forward one at a time.

Walk to the center of the stage.

Lady life.

Hit your mark.

Remember, look at the judges. They're going to sparkle in your eye. You know

what I mean?

Yes. This is your first dance.

I'm okay. I'm okay.

Don't stand so close.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, let's meet some of our contestants.

from Las Vegas, Nevada.

And all the boys say I'm really sweet.

I'm Pacifica Ocean.

Dive right in.

My name is Alyssa. I'm from Chicago, the Windy City.

Sometimes it's very difficult to keep my skirt down.

Thank you.

Hi, I'm Kat Morley from Jamaica.

Add two sugars and stir.

Hi, I'm Chastity from New Orleans, Louisiana.

And let's just say names can be...

Brittany. If I can do what you're doing, okay? Just relax.

It's okay.

Hi.

Brittany.

Your name's Brittany.

Girls, just a pointer.

Remember your names.

I'm Brittany from San Francisco, and I'm really happy to be here.

Please!

Is that really the best you can do?

Yes. That is too bad.

I sure hope you score high on the talent competition, because poise and grace

are not your strong points.

Okay, girls, take ten.

Drama queen on the loose.

What are you doing? This is a nightmare. I can't do it. Then quit. No, I can't

quit either.

Okay, okay.

Just relax.

This kind of thing, it gets easier with practice, okay?

Oh, yeah, sure. That's easy for you to say. You're stealing the show.

Do you think I'm enjoying this routine?

Oh, yeah, why not? You make a great girl. Oh, what beautiful legs you have,

Elise. Oh, I get it. You're jealous, aren't you? No, I'm not jealous. Yes,

are. I'm not jealous. You are so.

I have pulled, plucked, I've shaved parts of my body I didn't even know

until yesterday.

Why? Because despite what you and your partners may think, I take my police

very seriously.

Just leave me alone.

Hey, darling, look.

I'm sorry I went off on you.

I could be a nasty old queen sometime. You just can't take it personal.

You're right. I don't have any place in this pageant. That is not true.

Why am I pretty like the other girls?

Of course you are.

Well, old and grown way.

Thank you for saying that.

Child, you got to love yourself for who you are.

You think I always looked this fabulous?

You think this came easy to me?

Oh, no, child.

You know, little Simon was a skinny little black boy who used to get his

whooped every time Mama caught him wearing her clothes.

I invented Simone.

I had to.

Okay, good. Thank you.

I understand what you're saying.

Look, we have a killer to catch. I'm going to work my way through this, but

it'll take some time. Good, good.

See, that's the attitude.

Now, come on, let's go fix your makeup.

Yeah.

Come on.

She's crazy.

Hey, man, what's up with that? I was right in the middle of Free Willy. It's

like he's human, you know what I'm saying? Get off the phone.

Nobody's supposed to know you're here.

I'll cover you back. I love you.

You're tense, man.

Don't tell me.

You ate and drank everything out of the minibar? You left us smoked almonds.

Those things are too salty. I gotta wash my soul, you know? You have food

delivered here?

Nobody is supposed to know you're here. Stop raising your voice to me.

Get your clothes on. We're taking a ride. Where?

We've got a line on Obadiah Crow and you're gonna help us find it. No.

Get down!

We gotta get out of that crossfire.

Hey, Tommy, you ready to help us find Obadiah now?

Yeah, Skippy, come on, man. We're waiting for you to put your pants on.

Let's go.

Nice ride.

You had me at a disadvantage.

Oh, beg your pardon.

Inspector Nashbridge.

Am I parked in a tow -away zone?

I don't know, are you?

If I'm not, I suggest you move your car before something happens to it.

Bruce Sucklin.

You know, I'm thinking maybe we got off on the wrong foot.

So why don't you take yours out of your mouth and we'll start over.

I like your car.

Well, thank you. How'd you like to sell it?

It's not for sale.

You haven't heard my price.

See, that's the beauty of it. I don't need to hear your price when it's not

sale. I'll give you $400 ,000.

Cash.

It's not for sale.

You just turned down a very lucrative deal.

Here's what I want to know.

I'd like to know, what's a guy like you and your family's money doing in the

drug business?

That's right.

Do you have a hard time living up to granddaddy's expectations, or do you

like pretending to be a bad guy?

If you have any further questions, you can direct them to my attorney.

Actually, right now I'm talking to you, Bubba.

And you better listen up.

Because if you want to play in the street, you're going to get your ass run

over. By me.

Mr.

Bruce T.

Sutcliffe, Vice President, Sales, Mining, and Manufacturing.

Is that a good job?

This conversation's over.

You're right about that.

And you got your warning.

Your first, and your last.

No, you smell good enough to eat. Is that actual cleavage I'm seeing there?

it is. You're still learning all the secrets on how to take this stuff off.

That's it, that's it.

The clown's making any progress on this case.

Yeah, we're putting together a suspect. It's right now as we speak.

If Alex is here, we're going to find her. Good. So, what's going on with

Anna who?

Anna, the love of your life, the one that you're mad about but are too afraid

admit it. That one.

You gonna see her again or what? No, I mean, what's the point, man? I moved on.

What do you mean you moved on? I mean, you're gonna let your pride get in the

way of you possibly being happy, right? That's what you're saying.

It's cheaper.

Besides, what makes you think that Ann would make me happy?

I don't know, darling, but you could call it woman's intuition.

Gotta go, gotta get back.

Yeah.

Are you working, Harvey?

No.

Not really.

What are you doing then?

Huh? Stalking me?

Hannah? Hannah?

Hey, wait! Hannah!

Hannah!

Look, look, look!

What? What do you want?

I... I don't know.

I don't really... I don't know.

Let me know when you figure it out.

Hey, now listen. Have you two made any progress?

I'm sort of getting the walk down, but I'm not sure what to do with my hands.

Progress with the case, sweetheart.

Yes, yes, we are.

We are?

Yes.

I know who the killer is.

Who?

Chastity.

Do tell.

Yes, yes, do tell.

Well, I mean, I'm sharing a dressing room with her. It's obvious. It's so

obvious. So what are you going to do now?

Get her to drop trial.

No, no, that's a civil rights violation. We don't want to lose the bus because,

you know, a lawful search and seizure.

Right, right, right. So what do we do? I'm willing to make the proper

in the line of duty.

Which means what exactly?

Oh.

No. You have a little secret.

Don't we all?

No, no, I think you have a little secret.

And I want you to know that if you did, I would be the perfect person to share

it with.

If you catch my drift.

This is all really mysterious.

You've played Truth or Dare?

One of my favorite games.

Did you ever see the Madonna movie?

You bet a million times.

I go first.

Okay.

Truth.

You're a real woman, aren't you?

I'm as real as it gets.

My turn. Truth or dare?

Truth.

Are you coming on to me?

Could be.

Isn't that a little...

Beard?

Make no mistake about it, beautiful.

I may dress like a woman, but underneath this dress, I'm all man.

Hey Gus, it's for me.

See ya.

What now?

I figured it out.

Catch a falling angel, an angel of your own.

Catch a falling angel, have a love to

always treasure.

Cause a falling angel is an angel you can love.

I want you to give me Bruce Sutton. Well,

that's funny. He knows you. As a matter of fact, you're on his payroll.

Now, what do you think the homies over there are going to say when they see

I've separated you out?

I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong, but maybe they won't even give it a second

thought.

Better say it a little bit louder. I don't think they heard you.

You know, Beau, I think you're past the point of no return.

On the other hand, we're offering you a deal.

A deal?

Yeah. You see that guy right there?

Tommy? He can fry your ass.

So can Ten Speed.

So can a street user named Darren York.

You're done, Bubba.

Now, if you want to help me, I can probably make it go down a little easier

you.

What you want to do?

All right.

All right. See, now I knew we could work it out.

Here, give me the money back.

Because that could get you killed.

All right, come on.

Ah, that was too easy.

Nothing but twine.

special announcement to make beauty pageants at their heart are about

camaraderie and though I know that by nature you're all a bunch of

bitches this to me is the most important award the winner of Miss

Congeniality is

Big smile.

Come on, come on, come on. One more. Come on.

Oh, beauty.

Freeze, freeze!

Get everybody down!

Almost!

Alex!

Come on, come on. Give me your hand.

Give it to me, Alex. Come on. You're under arrest. That's that PD.

Got her?

You think that's a good idea? lock up Tom and Obadiah together like that?

Give them a chance to work through their issues.

With what, sharpened spoons?

That.

It's Harv. I'm with the SWAT guys at Sutcliffe's place. They're ready to

All right, Harv, we'll turn them loose. We got everything we need on Sutcliffe.

Take his ass down.

Okay, Scott, we gotta go.

All go.

All go.

Green light, move it in. Okay, Nash.

They're busting in now. All right, we should be there in a couple minutes.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.

Sutcliffe just bolted. He's headed south. Son of a bitch.

Sutcliffe is loose.

Put out an APB on his cuda.

Already dialing. Find out where he's headed. He's headed somewhere. Find out

where.

Where's he keeping?

Off Delancey Street near South Park, Fort Water Cove.

Headed east.

Okay, I got it.

All right, sorry, Bubba. Barb, call the helo boys.

Tell them to have the SFPD chopper standing by. We might need it. Yeah. We

chopper at Fort Water Cove.

This time of day, the fastest way to get there is straight down there from

Third.

of 26th and Illinois.

Five Shores 31.

We're in pursuit of the suspect.

We need a patrol unit with tires flat at the intersection of 26th and Illinois.

You got that card, Sutcliffe?

Yeah. Never throw away anything.

Except old earbuds.

Let me see the number.

Uh, why don't I dial that one?

All right, all right, dial.

Hello? Sutcliffe, baby.

You're about at the end of your road, aren't you?

You think you can catch me?

Oh, I think I can.

Go to hell.

Give me the radio.

5 George 31.

Is it 5 George 31?

Get units to intersections, to all the intersections between 26th and 22nd and

deploy those tires.

Bubba, I'm thinking that you should have paid the family business.

Now all you're going to get to spend that inheritance on is cigarettes and

bars. I'll get out of this.

Just once.

That's right. We've got him here.

Helicopter tail number November 5 -0 Papa Echo.

Force him down anywhere.

I can't believe that son of a bitch is still alive.

Come on, rich boy.

Let's go.

There's a Menina Ports car.

Yeah, but I'll buy you a couple.

How are you? Have you seen the Chronicle? No, I haven't. You made the

section. Yeah, you got that publicity that you so richly deserve.
