It is the year 2020, and the world has changed.

In 2020, times are tough.

This man's tougher.

I'm looking for Detective Zach Stone.

You found him, Harry.

I'm sure everyone here is aware of the great legend Harry Ferrett, chief of

detectives, the most decorated man of our time, and more importantly, a close

personal friend of my family's for 15 years. Good to see you again, Zach. Good

to see you. You don't age, not one bit.

I'll have to bet that I've seen you about three years or so. Oh, thereabout.

Yeah, listen, are you still living back in that... Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Rotoplex district.

Same me, same place.

You know, I'm not much for change.

Can't believe that place is still there.

So, what can I do for you today, Harry?

You heard about those two punks that got iced on Baker Street last night?

Yeah. Can't really understand how that happened.

Seems they had an accomplice who was picked up later.

He's now over at the Witness Protection Plan, Metro Prison.

So, what do you want me to do?

Transfer her to high security.

Her? Mel LaMaze is a woman?

Melanie LaMaze.

Don't underestimate a bad guy just because she's a woman.

She's involved with a double murder and grand theft.

You know, man, those things are going to kill you.

I hope I live long enough for a cigarette to kill me.

All right, Harry, you got it.

I don't want anything.

I said I'm not hungry.

Ouch.

They tried to kill me.

You always make friends that easily?

Who are you?

Prison escort service.

I'm the lucky guy that gets to take you to high security.

Well, the food couldn't be any worse than it is here.

This chef should be arrested for attempted murder.

He was.

I heard that one of the kids that got murdered last night was your brother.

I'm sorry.

So don't try to get through to me.

You don't know what sorry means.

Not that it would mean anything to you, but my brother's gone too.

And you saw the guy who murdered your brother, but you won't identify him.

Why?

You don't have to be so tough, okay?

I mean, if I were in your spot, hell, I'd be scared to death.

You're not in my spot.

So I guess you need a car, huh?

Yeah, I gotta take this little lady across town and I just need something

gets me there, okay?

All my vehicles perform, detective.

The tune of myself.

Yeah, right.

Now this one, she's a real beauty. Only 300 ,000 original miles.

Great, fine.

Sign me up for it. I'm not getting in this.

Why? What's wrong?

This is a rolling death trap.

Hey, watch what you say, kid. I know my cars.

Well, what do you know about tires?

Hey, what have you done to my car?

It's a retread worse than his personality.

Pick whatever car you want, detective.

But get her the hell out of my garage!

What are you laughing at?

Just that expression on Floyd's face.

Never good to tell me that, Dad.

You don't seem much like a cop.

I take it that's a compliment?

Yeah, I do.

Of course, I didn't always feel that way.

Where I grew up, cops were people's friends.

Where are you from?

I'm from downtown Kansas.

Town's so small, half the people live there have never heard of it.

So what brought you to Metroplex?

The same reason as all poor people. To make a living.

My dad fixed cars.

Well, I guess that's where I get it from.

He sure fixed Boyd's car.

What are your folks?

What's up?

Mel.

How'd you get hooked up with the bad guys?

I know a cop is going to find this hard to believe, but I wasn't in on that

robbery.

I overheard my brother on the phone that night.

He mentioned that address.

I drove there and I waited for him.

This time, I was going to make him quit.

And what did you take for needed?

So do I.

Once... Lane tried to get out of it.

He was right.

He said the bomb was powerful.

That he was untouchable, even by the police.

Maybe he killed him.

Can you tell me who he is?

Mel.

Look if you know, tell me.

You okay?

Besides being scared to death and my ears ringing, I think I'll make it.

Someone apparently wants you very dead.

I couldn't get much closer.

I suppose I should thank you.

Let's just say you owe me one.

You better get out of here before they come back.

Back?

Yeah.

There's only one place I can think I can get you to where you'll be safe, I can

think.

Can you walk?

Yeah,

over here.

Look, man.

You know how I feel about other people coming by my lap.

Yeah, I know.

I don't know how I let you talk me into these things.

Well, look at it this way, man.

I think how boring your life would be without me, huh?

I doubt it.

Who's the guy?

Oh, that's Mel.

By the way.

My clothes never looked so good.

Oh, now it's okay, huh?

What is this?

It's a pulse rifle.

Just insert this, and it's ready to go.

It's something I'm polishing up for the military.

It's got enough firepower to take out a tank.

Or two.

I got it. I got it.

It's H.

What's that?

He's an old friend of ours. I'm not old.

I'm dead.

We're looking for a murderer, Mr. H.

You think you could put together a composite if this young lady gave you

details? Of course I can. I think of myself as the Michelangelo of the

composition set.

Go, baby.

He was scruffy.

He had a beard.

Hard mouth.

Like a straight line.

Almost no lips.

A cigarette.

One of those fancy jobs rich women usually smoke.

Disgusting affectation.

Mr. H.

Don't mind him.

Continue.

I wore a dark coat.

I think you'd call it a trench coat.

They were icy.

Just no feeling there at all.

Hey, it's okay, Bill.

I know I owe you one.

No,

you owe your brother one.

Zach?

This is going to take all night.

E .B., what do you got?

I need more data, Zack.

Okay.

People are trying to kill her. And they always seem to know where she is, which

is why I brought her here.

How would they know where she is?

If they have police access, then it's possible the killer could be a cop,

If he's a police officer, I can access those files.

Okay, E .B., compare the composite against the police files. How long will

take?

Patience, lad.

The thing one learns from being dead is to appreciate the value of time.

How about this one?

That's him.

No, no, wait a minute. That's not him.

This is Chief of Detectives Harry Ferrett, Metroplex Division 1.

I'm telling you, that's him.

Look, Mel, you're dead wrong. I've known this guy for 15 years of my life.

You're just protecting him because he's a cop. I just made a mistake, that's

all. You're all the same.

It's like my brother said, he's untouchable.

Even by you.

We can find out more, Zack.

If Ferret is your man, I can access information on him from the police

This is ridiculous.

Easy, my boy.

Very interesting.

What'd you find, Mr. H?

It seems Ferret has been on medical leave this past month.

No, he just gave me the assignment to take Mel to high sec just this morning.

Zack, uh, you didn't check with headquarters to see if it was real, did

No, man.

Nobody would, and this is Harry Ferrett. A quick probe of the gentleman's

finances has revealed sudden influxes of money into three separate accounts.

That's why, uh, nobody found the diamonds the night Mel's brother was

Harry's been hiring kids to pull his height.

And then pocketing the spoils.

So why did he off the two kids?

If you don't mind me playing Sherlock Holmes for a moment, I'd guess they were

trying to quit the business.

Mel, is your brother... Oh, my God.

I knew it. I knew I shouldn't let anybody else in this lab.

Zack, she took the pulse rifle.

She went after Ferret, man.

Zack, you've got to stop her.

That pulse rifle could take out half the crew.

She fired the rifle.

The control panel's out.

I'm switching the system to backup.

What now? We're stuck here until E .B. and I can figure out a way to override

the control panel.

How long, E .B.? At least 20 minutes.

Back.

You better get dressed.

The heat is on, gentlemen.

And I think it's time for you two to disappear.

Or you'll wind up like the other two.

I think it's finally time for

even me to leave All of this We

have a visitor

So nice of you to drop by.

How'd you find me?

Followed my brother here the night you promised me you'd quit this rotten life

you forced him into.

You're the one that tried to make Lane quit.

You should have left your brother alone that night.

If I hadn't have been there, you wouldn't have seen me.

And your life would have been considerably longer.

So you'll kill me like you killed Lane?

How could a cop live with that? You want to know how I felt about the people I

had to live with?

Hustlers, thieves, killers.

They made the fortunes.

Me?

I was a good cop for 15 years.

Thank you.

I had the guy who were laying with Lana help him.
