...and you can't tell the difference between

good guys and bad?

- Where's the car?

- Chaos, detective.

Anarchy.

And the Cubs win the World Series.

I'm telling you, Blades, the report is legit.

We didn't do it.

Yeah?

- What are you gonna do about your father?

- Nothing.

We've done our share of fooling around

over the years, Theo, but this is ridiculous.

It's time for him to hang up his sword and

die with something approaching dignity.

Mom, I don't need to hear this.

The worst part is he's lost interest in me.

I thought it was the cancer,

so I didn't push. But now I know.

- I still have needs, Theo.

- Please, stop, enough already.

What time are you picking us up

for lunch?

Theo?

I'm sorry, I have to cancel.

Kelly has my car.

- So take the van.

- It's dead.

Again? All right, you have my permission

to use the Hawk, just be very careful.

- I can't.

- Why not? What's wrong with the Hawk?

I don't believe this.

I gotta go.

If something happens to that automobile,

it'll kill your father.

- I'm hanging up the phone now.

- And I don't mean that metaphorically.

Move out of the street.

I just had an accident.

I think I may have broken something.

Please move out of the street

or I'll have to cite you.

I'm bleeding here. I'm bleeding here.

Move now.

My car was stolen. I saw the guy driving it

around the corner two minutes ago.

- I tried to go after him on the bike.

- Stolen, huh? Shocking.

Drive around the block, you might find him.

It's a 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk.

I don't see anything.

- You're gonna have to call in a report.

- I did.

You know, I'm about to go off shift

if you want a ride downtown.

Thank you.

Okay, Blades,

so now you're buying two dinners.

And not the Whole Foods deli again,

either.

Someplace where they bring food

to the table.

Let's see what you got,

then we'll decide.

Well, it was code. Forensics figures it

for driver's license numbers.

- Maybe.

- Maybe?

- Did you run the registrations?

- Yep. And it's four local Louisiana plates.

It's just that there are three extra letters.

WVB or BVW,

depending on how you read it.

But one of the cars is registered

to YouTube's latest sensation, Taser Boy.

Theo Gold?

He reported his car stolen this morning.

- So, what is this, a shopping list?

- Gold must have a pretty nice car.

If we have the list and Gil's in jail,

how does the car get stolen?

- Jail has no record of him being there.

- That's impossible.

- I saw Schaefer walk him out the door.

- I'm gonna go hunt down Gil.

- You want me to call Gold?

- Let me deal with that.

Check with Schaefer and Chin.

I'm gonna stop by a couple of addresses
