Rush Hour - First Season

Hmm.

Are you sure you need all this protection?

Are you sure you don't?

Exactly. You don't know what to expect.

I've been working this case a long time.

This is PL.

PL?

"Pre-Lee."

Six months ago, I convinced Nina Taylor to testify

against her ruthless criminal of a boss.

- _ - The company that your boss founded

claims to specialize in private security, advanced field training

and risk management advisement services.

But that's just a technical way of describing

what he really offers his clients.

Private military.

The real money comes from drug trafficking,

gun smuggling, murder for hire, and so on and so on.

Nina, you worked

as Emmett Perry's assistant, okay?

You're the only person who can connect him

to the criminals and cartels that he's been in business with.

I already told you everything I know.

And that was a big help.

But the only way that we are gonna bring him down

is if you testify in court.

Testify in court? Are you out of your mind?

A-A trial could take months.

I probably wouldn't even make it to the stand.

- He'll kill me. - Nina,

he won't be able to touch you, all right?

You'll be in a safe house with round-the-clock protection.

Nothing bad is gonna happen to you.

Are you sure?

I promise.

So it's my responsibility to get her safely to that courthouse.

She's an incredibly brave woman,

risking her life for a noble cause.

The fact that she's absolutely gorgeous isn't even relevant.

Why would you mention it, then?

Can you let me focus please? Ah.

This guy over here.

All right, uh, let me get two of those and a pair of those sticky gloves

- for climbing up buildings. - I'm sorry?

Sticky gloves.

Remember they used them in Mission: Impossible.

Mission: Impossible isn't real.

Not with that attitude it isn't.

Just show me what else you got.

Carter?

You being overly cautious or just indulging in childhood spy fantasy?

That's correct.

I guess that if anyone warrants extra caution,

it's Emmett Perry.

You believe he would attempt to kill a witness in broad daylight?

He's a multi-millionaire CEO facing a possible death sentence.

Now, his so-called "security management firm" is basically a private army.

He's bad news, Lee.

- Trust me. - Okay, you two ready?

Ah! Captain, if there's one thing you can count on from us...

Yeah, that bag's a little heavier

than you expected, isn't it?

No, it's about what I figured.

Hey, Lee, don't walk too fast. We need to conserve our energy.

Might have to dump some of this in the trunk.

Mr. Perry,

if we don't take the deal now, they will pull it.

- Let them. - At least consider it.

Seven years... that's the best you're gonna get.

Guilty plea will bring down my company.

A guilty verdict could put you on death row.

You don't want that for him.

I don't. That's why we're paying you.

And I'm doing everything I can, but juries are unpredictable,

and the prosecution has your former assistant taking the stand today.

No deal.

All these cars are coming with us to the safe house?

Actually, none of them are.

These are all decoy cars in case Perry's guys have eyes on us.

Here they are.

SEAL Team Dicks.

Hey.

Don't be mad that the gorgeous witness

asked me personally to escort her to court.

And you're just a glorified valet with bizarre features and a pervy mustache.

The job is transpo.

And the 'stache is an all-star lineup of individual hairs

that assemble to form a bushy badge of virility.

But onto business.

Here's your vehicle.

That's inconspicuous.

That's ass!

I asked for a black sapphire M4

with dope rims and a moonroof.

That's weird.

I heard "beat-up '98 Honda."

Cell phones.

Now a quick scan for possible tracking devices.

Turn please.

CARTER (quietly): Oh, my God.

Captain Karate's clear.

- (device beeping) - Hang on.

Safety first.

Got to hit every nook

- and... cranny. - Hey!

That better not have been a finger.

You're clean.

I don't feel clean.

I may never feel clean again.

Burner phone.

Untraceable.

Good luck, ladies.

- See you at the courthouse, guys. - All right, good luck.

Detective Carter.

Ms. Taylor, it's good to see you again.

This is my new partner, Detective Lee.

Hope the safe house wasn't too...

Oh. We're doing hugs.

That's what's up. (chuckles)

We should get going.

Um...

We should get going.

I'll grab my jacket.

: Okay.

We'll wait down here.

Emmett Perry is a monster.

And that beautiful, wonderful woman

is gonna take him down.

Carter.

Are you in love with the witness?

Excuse me? Why would you ask that?

Well, you're standing tall with your chest

puffed out, while simultaneously straining

to flex every muscle in your body.

You're talking crazy, Lee.

Our objective is to get Ms. Taylor safely to trial.

Okay, fine. All right, maybe I do have

a little thing for her, but if you were a good partner,

you would stop being judgmental and start being a wingman.

- What does that mean? - You know,

just act like I'm the coolest, most desirable man on Earth.

- I don't like to lie. - I don't see how that's a factor.

- Stay focused. - Be a good partner.

- I am a good partner. - Then be a great one.

All set. (sighs)

Detective Carter is the most desirable man ever.

Uh, that's...

very kind of you, Detective Lee, but, uh, how about

we get Ms. Taylor to our transport vehicle?

Yeah.

I don't know. He just got here.

This vest is for you.

- Thanks. - It'll protect you.

Yeah.

Right this way.

This isn't my car, by the way.

Just letting you know.

Lee.

Is it me, or is that a strange-looking bird?

It does not appear to be a bird.

Does it appear to be a drone?

Is everything okay?

Maybe we should...

Run!

Come on, come on, come on, come on!

Come on! Follow me!

This way!

Get off!

I mean, get up!

Let's go!

I don't see anyone.

- I think we lost them. - We need to find out

how they found us in the first place.

But we need to keep moving.

The courthouse is miles away.

We don't have a car.

I know a guy on the next block. Follow me.

Give me your hand.

By the way, wingman, how about next time,

you let me handle the full-body contact with our witness?

You don't want to block a brother. You're blocking a brother.

Come on! Come on! Give me... give me that.

- I thought you said you knew him. - I do.

But last month, I had to arrest him for indecent exposure.

Streaking. He was just streaking.

Wh-What's the difference between indecent exposure and streaking?

- Streaking's funny. - (knocking)

Open up!

: Listen to me. My wife is in here.

Do you know how hard it was for me to keep my little incident from her?

It was a little incident, but it was a cold night... don't beat yourself up.

But, look, man, we're in trouble and we need cover.

Y-You don't have the right to just come in here whenever you want.

Actually, failure to assist an officer of the law during exigent circumstances

could result in criminal charges as well as fines.

Damn, Lee.

Somebody just update your software? I'm proud of you.

Nina, come on, come on, come on, come on.

Thank you, buddy.

You know these cops?
