Where you going?

To catch a check.

You ever heard of an ATM machine?

It's a server to go into the bank.

Do you know how long that line's going to be at 10 minutes to 5?

Longer than it was a minute ago.

Samuel, I have a dinner date, okay? By the time you come out of there, dogs

be evolving into men.

I'll tell you what, I'll just walk back to the station.

It's only 150 blocks.

Look at you, 2 % body fat, perfect physical specimen. I guess if one of us

should walk... It should be me.

Hey.

I can use the exercise.

I wasn't going to suggest that, but thanks.

I'll put the keys on your desk.

I'm doing this for you.

Thank you.

Mr. Law, how wonderful to see you again.

Do I know you? Carter Iverson, bank manager. I'm embarrassed to say we've

met in person, but I am here to correct that oversight.

Thank you.

You know, the line gets so long this time of day, it'll be much faster if I

you personally.

I'm already here.

Done. See how easy it is to bank with First Allied Savings and Loan?

This way, please.

And from now on, if you need anything, you can come to me.

Uh, can I get you coffee?

Tea, maybe? No, thank you. I just want $40 and to make sure I have enough for

rent.

That's very good. Very funny.

I just love our foreign customers. They have such a wonderful sense of humor.

I think we can both safely assume that your rent is not a problem.

We can?

Oh, most certainly.

Have a seat, won't you?

Six million dollars?

And change, of course.

You've made a mistake.

Oh, absolutely.

We should have encouraged you to open our trusting partner's supermarket rate

account. A much better return.

The money isn't mine.

And, as a bonus, a free TV for

each new customer.

Six million dollars.

Don't move.

Not even one little inch.

You can try it.

The guy to your left has a nine millimeter.

Then there's the two in the car.

I think... There are a lot of people on this sidewalk.

You want to be responsible for what happens?

Get the damn car.

Where is Allison?

I don't know her.

How long have you been working with her?

We have never met. Then why do you have six million dollars from her?

When is she transferring the rest of the money to you?

Where is she?

You think you can hide behind this?

It's just a piece of tin to me.

You will tell me what I want to know.

Where is she?

Man is strong.

He's still just a man.

He can be broken.

Put some plastic sheeting on the floor and get me some gloves.

It's gonna get messy.

We've got a break.

Allison's calling one of her friends from a phone booth.

Give me an address.

Allison has finally called one of her friends.

We had a tap on her line and traced the call to a phone booth in Topanga Canyon.

We can be there in six minutes.

Load up.

What about him?

We'll dump the body on the way.

Two minutes.

Take him down.

Quickly.

I'll need this.

It's not her.

This time, I will use the ATM to save her.

Let me get this straight.

You got kidnapped, drugged, thrown into the back of a van, and they wanted to

know why $6 million was put into your account?

Yes.

Why do you have $6 million in your account? We must ask Allison.

Am I the only one who's totally confused here?

Allison called one of her friends.

They traced the call here.

But Allison was already gone. That woman was in the phone booth instead.

Okay, but we got to call the phone company and get a list of every call

made from that phone booth today. Then we can backtrack from there. I'll talk

the bank.

I'll find out how $6 million ended up in your account.

Those guys you took out are gone.

They're plaster casts of all the footprints they left behind.

There are none.

Whoever these guys are, they're good. They cleaned up after themselves.

Where are you going?

To find our list of...

Not before the paramedics check you out. You've been beaten, drugged, and thrown

out of a moving car. You've got to be hurting, Samuel. Not as much as Alyssa

will be if they find her.

You don't want to be weak when you meet up with these guys again.

Look, just let the paramedics check you out. Then go home, get some rest.

We'll meet back up at the MCU tonight.

We'll have a lot more to go on then.

You want me to walk you to your apartment? You don't look too good. No,

right. Thank you.

I got a better idea. How about if I carry you to your apartment?

Allison. How do you know my name?

They told me when they asked for the money.

Well, wait.

You talked to them?

And you're still alive?

My lucky day.

Okay.

This is all my fault.

And I am really sorry. And one day I am going to make it up to you. Someday.

If I'm still alive.

But the way things are going, that is highly unlikely.

Let me help you.

Just give me back the money that I accidentally transferred into your

Keep the interest, okay?

For the broken window and everything else.

Wrong.

That's my stuff!

Sammo? Allison.

She's fine, but gone.

How did you... Oh, I saw this van and looked suspicious, so I ran the place.

Place turned out to be phony. Did you get anything out of the guy in black

time? Just a beating.

I must find... Allison, don't worry about Allison.

Allison's fine. Take him to the hospital.

If he argues with you, cuff him.

No, I must find... You must find an emergency room. Cuff him now.

For your own good.

How's Thamo?

The doctor's looking at him right now. But unless he's really hurt, they won't

have to let him go.

You make that sound like a bad thing.

I had him cuffed and escorted to the hospital.

I'm impressed.

I'm thrilled.

I've got grace checking on the guy who attacked Thamo.

Someone whose fighting style mixes Jeet Kune Do, Bud Shalim, and Wing Chun.

I'm impressed.

I'm thrilled.

I checked with the bank. The funds were transferred to Samuel from a secret

Cayman Islands account.

$9 ,999 .90 every 15 minutes since Friday.

That's smart.

Anything over $10 ,000 has to be reported by the bank to the feds. What

bank in the Cayman Islands say? Nothing.

But all the news isn't bad. We do have a lead on Allison. We know who she called

from the pay phone this morning.

A secretary at a law firm.

Allison Blake called me. She sounded desperate and afraid.

Before I got a chance to... Why don't you take a break, Christina?

We'll talk to the detectives.

I'm Colin Perkins, the senior partner here.

And this is Stephen Garth, who's dealing with the Blake matter for us.

Oh, it's become a matter.

Wow. That's big. Which is why they called me. We are the most successful

security and private investigation firm in the continental United States.

I'm glad Hawaii's got something on somebody.

So what did she do? Take somebody's parking space?

Say something nasty about your mom in the office email?

She embezzled $90 million from us and disappeared.

You just forgot to call the police and all these things.

No offense, but we have resources that are unavailable to law enforcement.

We also have a much greater success rate at apprehending fugitives.

We had every intention of alerting the authorities at the appropriate time.

After you found Allison, got your money back, and killed her.

What my partner means is... Turn around.

Put your hands behind your back.

Whatever you say, officer.

What do you think you're doing?

This is him.

You sure?

I know the voice.

The way he moves is him.

You'd better have something really good to back this up, or I'll have your

badges for paperweights.

Nice place.

Love the view.

Good to know my tax dollars aren't being wasted.

Make yourself uncomfortable.

Can I talk to you for a moment, please?

This is personal.

I forgive you.

No, no, no. Not me. You and him.

I'm just doing my job.

So then why did we arrest him two seconds after we met him without any

whatsoever?

Because he's guilty.

Okay, let me get this straight. He kidnapped you, he drugged you, he kicked

butt, but this ain't personal.

Right. You don't want to take his ear and twist it or give him a couple of

those?

I'm Amy Dillon, commander of the MCU. Please accept our apologies, Mr. Garth.

This was an unfortunate mistake.

Mistakes happen, Ms. Dillon.

I understand.

What are you doing?

Ho, ho, ho, ho. We haven't even questioned him.

Good. Well, then we haven't compounded our error.

You're free to go, Mr. Garth.

It's still just a piece of tin to me.

Perkins, Goldblatt, and Haverwell is one of the largest law firms in Los

Angeles. They were on the phone to the chief before you even left the building.

What the hell were you thinking?

Garth is the man pursuing Allison Blake.

There is nothing illegal about that. That's what private investigators do.

This one kidnaps police officers, pumps them full of drugs before trying to kill

them. You can't prove it yet.

She's got us on that one.

I can prove it.

I went to a bunch of dojos. They all knew his style.

Garth attacked them last night.

We can't arrest someone based on how they kick or because you don't like the

sound of their voice.

That's not enough to make a case.

I didn't want to make a case.

I wanted to make a point.

I understand that you're angry, Sammo. I do. But that doesn't mean we can ignore

police procedure.

Once you make a fight personal, you've already lost.

You taught me that.

Anyone know where Allison Blake lives?

There's something you should see, sir.

Allison Blake's house.

I'm thinking if she were here, Garth's men might have found her.

Garth's men don't know how to look.

If you only knew, detective.

They figured out how to find you twice.

I wasn't hiding.

Maybe you should have been.

Garth needs computers to do his work. He doesn't know how to think.

Why don't you do my thinking for me?

What great insight do you have into the mind of Allison Blake?

To find Alison Blake, we must think like her, see like her, feel like her.

As long as we don't have to live like her, this girl's a slob.

What are you?

That's an easy one.

Even if you don't know how to think.

The Cuddly Dudley Bear, retailed $8 .49, purchased by Alice and Blake on 9 -2

-97 at Uncle Fuzzby's Toys.

Gel is cotton, stuffed in a nylon -rayon mix.

And there is absolutely nothing hidden inside.

She's here.

Look, Sal, if you want me to squeeze out this sunscreen to see if she's inside,

I will, but I think we've looked everywhere.

No, here.

This is the key.

Get me everything there's to know about that bear.

We already did, sir. Apparently not.

And get me everything there's to know about them, too.

Now.

You know, it's gonna be real hard for me to take you seriously next time you

start spouting out that Asian mystical junk.

It's all true.

We thought like Allison.

Now we know where she is.

And how about this is the key?

It is the key.

to keeping Goth out of our way.

I can't believe he didn't think we'd find that he had a place bug.

No wonder he couldn't make it in Hawaii.

Band in the closet, sunscreen in the bathroom, pictures of Allison and her

frolicking in the surf.

So she had a happy vacation at the beach.

People hide...

where they feel comfortable.

And her house says she feels comfortable at the beach with her dog.

Good. Let her stay there, then.

Garth will find her.

If we bring her in, he's going to find her immediately.

You might as well just hand her over to him.

Can you search for beach hotels that take dogs?

Cheap motels. We know how she lives.

This isn't about finding her for you, is it?

This is about finding her before he does.

Okay, so we're looking for motels on the beach that take dogs.

They've got a lead.

Not anymore.

Find her first.

Last on the list.

You can say that again.

I go around there to cover the fence.

I'll be the big backup.

This is her car.

Police! Drop your weapons!

We got every unit on the west side looking for those black sedans. Nobody's

anything.

Did you see anything that would give us probable cause to go after Garth?

Not probable.

Definite. That's Chinese for no.

You can't touch him.

He's going to kill me, and you can't touch him.

Nobody's going to kill you. Just once, I thought I would do something good,

something right. I'm going to die for it.

By something good, something right, you mean stealing $90 million from your

employers?

Hey, you make it sound like I'm the criminal.

I knew what they were doing.

Cheating clients, stealing settlements.

But try to find another secretarial job that comes with five paid weeks for

Cayman Islands every year.

And all you had to do was carry an occasional briefcase or open an odd bank

account. You were helping Perkins Goldblatt, weren't you?

I was just doing my job.

Until the lake sound that thing.

You mean that town that sued those developers for turning their drinking

into a toxic waste dump?

I remember that. They want a huge judgment.

Huge. As in 90 million.

And they deserved it, too.

I mean, I saw the pictures.

Those poor, sick kids.

With Perkins Gold, I'd rig their legal fees so that it would just eat up the

entire settlement.

So you took it?

Not to keep.

I just transferred a couple of digits and...

Transferred it into my Cayman's account instead of theirs, and then I set up an

automatic transfer to the Lake Salmon account.

You have a Cayman Islands account?

Doesn't everyone?

What did you think the people of Lake Salmon were going to do when they found

that stolen money in their account?

I hadn't thought that far ahead.

You made them accessories to theft.

Okay, so I am not experienced at this doing good thing.

But it doesn't matter anyway because they never got it.

That's because you highlighted Law Sammo on the bank's computer instead of Lake

Sammo. Then Sammo ends up with $6 million in his account, and you can't

it without his permission.

It was late.

I was in a hurry. And hey, let's face it, okay? If I was decent at computers,

wouldn't be working for those bunch of crooks in the first place.

All I wanted to do was just do one good thing and poof, disappear.

Was that so hard to understand?

So why don't you just give the $84 million to Lake Sama and disappear?

Because it's gone.

Somebody took it out of my account.

It's Garth, and this is how we're going to bring him down. Hey, Toel, you got

coffee? What are you doing?

Terribly sorry.

Let's go outside.

It's warm.

Here, we'll try.

It's a good thing you got six million dollars in this bank.

This shirt wasn't cheap.

I didn't mean to ruin your shirt.

Well, you did. What's your problem?

I just need to shut you up. You what?

God, please watch us.

You picked up the transmission frequently from the box.

That's how he got to Allison before we did.

It must be broadcast into a mobile unit.

Should we sweep the MCU?

No. We just have to speak carefully and give Garth exactly what we want him to

hear.

Last April, I transferred $30 million from the Bakeman settlement to

Goldblatt's personal account.

I need account numbers.

Transaction dates are useless to me without account numbers.

I can't remember.

I'm sorry. I'm just really nervous.

Relax, okay?

You're safe here.

Until I walk out that door, which I'm going to have to do someday.

Wherever I go, he's going to find me. You should have thought about that

you took the $90 million. Ease up on her, all right?

Allison did the right thing, just in the wrong way.

Take a shower.

Get yourself cleaned up.

You'll stay here tonight.

And tomorrow?

We'll worry about it then.

Do these people really think I can't get to her there?

He knew we were coming.

So where are the others?

I can't believe we broke into Garth's office.

See, he's got money everywhere.

Amen, Zorik, Nagasaki, Walla Walla.

Walla Walla? I'm the one with the eight -figure balance.

Hey, you know, if you want to do this, you can. You can be my guest.

I can't believe I let Sammo talk me into this.

What we're doing is a crime, you know.

I can arrest you if it'll make you feel better.

I've totally compromised my position as leader of this unit.

Don't worry about it. Someone has access in the computer terminal in

bookkeeping. They're here.

They're after the money.

Steal the building.

We'll be dead before anybody finds out.

Got it!

Uh -oh.

Did you make the transfer?

I think so.

That'll have to do. Let's go.

Hello, Allison.

In ten minutes, you'll be a wanted man on every square inch of this planet.

I wish you hadn't said that.

Should we kill them?

No.

We don't need these two dead.

I already have what I want.

That won't be bad.

You always threaten people who are holding automatic weapons on you? It's

first time I've had the opportunity.

There's nothing to stop him from killing her now.

Just the money.

Yeah, if we have it.

And Garth doesn't.

You're $84 million richer.

She managed to transfer the money before Garth shut down the computers.

There she is alive.

Garth will call.

What makes you think he's not going to kill her and then disappear?

He wants to win.

And you don't?

I want Allison to be safe and Garth to pay for their crimes.

Let me translate, Dylan.

Yes, he does.

Ready to trace the call. Not that he'd be stupid enough to let that happen.

Hello? I have heard...

We're going to trade.

It's not your money.

It belongs to the people of Lake Thamer.

Oh, then never mind.

Should I shoot her right now?

No. I didn't think so.

Go outside. Start walking.

We'll be watching.

If you have any weapons, any tracking devices, anyone following you, Allison

starts losing appendages.

How do I find you?

You won't. Leave now.

Cell phone. Not nearly enough time to triangulate the signal.

Set up the transfer.

The instant it hits his account, he'll transfer it to a thousand other accounts

around the globe. We'll never get it back.

We have no choice.

Oh, no. You're not going by yourself.

You know what he will do if you come with me.

Look, Samuel, you can't make this thing between you and Garth personally. You'll

get yourself and Allison killed.

I won't let that happen.

No, no, sure.

Remember his style.

I'd put that phone down if I were you, unless you were calling to make a

transfer. Look, I'm not going to leave my partner out there hanging by himself.

It's his choice.

And it's my choice to ignore his choice, Grace.

We can get a copter up. We can follow him in the sky. Put the phone down.

You're going along with this.

I don't like it any more than you do, but Grace is right.

We're all of options.

Garth knows them all.

Trust Sam's instinct.

He does.

You made good time.

Are you okay?

I think so.

Can we go now?

Not until there's 90 million in my Zurich account.

If I act quickly, I get a free toaster.

Now, detective.

Sammo, make the transfer to his Zurich account.

Are you all right?

Yes. Hang up the phone. Now.

Sammo, keep the line open. We're running a trade.

Sammo?

Sammo! And throw the phone away.

The transfer is complete.

Rerouting funds.

You are going to kill us now and leave the country? Of course.

The chopper will be here in five minutes.

I'll toss her out somewhere over the Pacific.

But you, I'll snap your spine right here.

You and how many of your men?

Just me.

Just you.

Now just ask.

They're coming.

Thank you.

Hey, look what I got.

You can use this anytime.

They have machines everywhere.

You can even buy stamps.

Stamps?

I gotta get you hooked up with e -mail.

Mail is safer.

Here we go again.

You can hold on to mine for a few weeks.

I'm infiltrating a high -stakes gambling ring with $50 ,000 of taxpayer money.

How come we don't get assignments like that?

Look at her.

Look at us.

Good point.

Just got off the phone with the DA.

Perkins, Goldblatt, and Haperwell aren't pressing charges. And they gave Lake

Sama every penny of the $90 million.

They just didn't want the press hearing about their shameful accounting

practices. Besides, they're too busy fighting to keep their license to

law. That means Allison has to find a new job. Nope.

Thanks to all of you.

But especially to Amy.

I just made a couple calls, that's all. She got the job based on her natural

talents. Congratulations.

I expect you to account for all the money that you lose or win on your next

assignment.

What does it matter to you?

Allison Blake.

arrest investigator.

You gotta be kidding me.

She's an expert in offshore banking and money laundering. From experience.

Hey, there's some things that I haven't experienced, which, um, is why you guys

are all being audited.

All of us?

I need to practice.

It is our pleasure to be audited.

Yeah, right.

Excuse me, I think I just saw Elvis over here.

Hey!

What's wrong with being audited?

Which explains why he wants Allison dead.

And he's watching the MCA.

Where is that?

MCA. That's a record label. MCU.

Where's the MCA?

That was a cut.

You heard what he will do if he will come on me.

Samuel, you can't make this person up. I want it not to happen.

Up next, Bolton's finest.

Takes on Mohamed Majadi, but can he keep his impressive record intact?

Live coverage of the big fight on TV4.
