You're killing my corn!

We're eastbound on 4th, in pursuit of

a red BMW, driver Caucasian, blonde.

Plate 2-Boy-Adam-Henry-174.

You are westbound on 2nd.

You're heading straight

toward each other.

Go! We'll stick with the red bastard.

You chase the blue.

You're not going to make it!

Look at my side panel!

Goddamn it, you were right.

There wasn't enough room.

He's turning right!

Get out of the way!

This was a new car, Riggs.

Well, it still is.

just pump the sh*t out of them.

What was that?

-He crawled into the trunk.

-l got you covered.

Holy Christ!

That's a lot of money.

out of the department's budget.

-Pay it in Krugerrands.

-Don't make jokes, make arrests.

l want an explanation.

-Things got out of hand.

-You said this was a routine bust.

You didn't mention helicopters,

automatic weapons, Krugerrands...

This was bigger than we thought.

Houdini Jr. bets he can free himself

in 5 minutes.

l will too.

Don't try this at home, kids.

lt's over now. Put your money

on the desk and get back to work.

Suckers.

How the hell did you do that?

l dislocated my shoulder once.

Now l can do it whenever l want.

Doesn't it hurt?

Yeah, it does.

But not as much as...

when l put it back in.

lf it isn't Mrs. Sigmund Fraud.

My door is always open, Sergeant.

We should keep this

on a professional level.

Why the hell do you

do this to yourself?

Who else could l do it to?

None of them will let me.

And l need the money.

Cough up!

lt's not all here yet. l want it all.

Where did this come from?

You can't help yourself to this stuff!

lt's evidence. lt's a Krugerrand.

-lt's mine. l won it.

-lt's not yours.

You want to get busted?

Want to get something to eat?

Not tonight.

-Rianne's commercial is on.

-She's in a commercial?

Not so loud!

What's wrong?

l'd be proud if l was you.

What if she stinks?

You got to be kidding. She'll be great.

Listen up!

Tonight at...what time?

Come on!

What time?

Eight.

Eight o'clock, on...channel?

Eight. The Sergeant's daughter, Rianne.

Here's a picture of her.

She's going to make

her television debut in a commercial .

With this crowd, baby,

you'd better not stink.

What happened? This is a new car.

Mom's going to be upset!

-lt's still new.

-No, it's not, it's wrecked.

l don't want your mother to know.

Do your homework too.

-Hey! l haven' t read these.

-Rianne put them there.

Why don't you look out for me?

Hey, Ricky! l want to use my driveway

once in a while.

Nice oxygen tent.

-Do l look like Michael Jackson?

-No, but you're bad.

This is a two-car garage,

and this is my hobby room upstairs.

l retire when l'm 52, the whole

nine yards kick in when l'm 55.

You're not retiring, are you?

-l've thought of it, since l met you.

-Thank you.

This is a nice hobby room.

All you need now is a hobby.

Jesus!

What's wrong with you?

l'm sorry. That's very uncool.

You're sorry? Check my shorts!

-Don't you use hammers anymore?

-What's a hammer?

Easy. lt's no Saturday Night Special,

for crying out loud.

Give it back.

A man's not even safe in his own home.

Then stay the hell out of here.

You got any traffic warrants?

Can you fix them?

Almost time. Are we taping this?

Yes, so we can watch it

over and over again.

Take the stairs.

Nick, get your feet off the table.
