the most common car

in the whole entire world.

- All right, okay.

- If you had to pick

the most-selling car

in the world, that's it.

Okay, but what if that's the one

the sign is talking about?

Okay, the chances

are very, very slim.

- I will bet you...

- Okay...

- Okay, I will bet you...

- Reality show!

You'll bet me that you'll

finish the survey right now?

I mean, maybe.

I mean, that's

kind of a big bet,

I don't think the sign

said what color it was.

Okay, what reality show

contestant do you relate with?

Uh, fine!

Flavor Flave!

Okay, if another teammate...

I think that's the gray Honda.

There's no way that's the Honda.

I will bet you

a million dollars.

I will bet you you stop asking

me these stupid questions.

- If that's the gray Honda from the sign,

- All right, stay focused!

- Come on, we're almost done with this.

- Sam! Sam, wait!

- Stay focused!

- No, Sam, I don't want to do this anymore.

Why am I wasting tape on this?

- Who wants to watch...

- Shh! Listen.

If this is the car, then you have

to stop asking me these questions.

Okay, if this is the car,

you can...

- Okay.

- ...I will throw these out the window.

Throw them

out the window. Yes!

Okay, if this is

the gray Honda on the sign...

Okay, but until then,

we have to stay focused.

- Okay, well, look...

- ...if another team...

drops...

- That is the car.

- That's the car.

Wait, wait.

What do you want?

What should I do?

- Don't get too close.

- I'm not, I'm not.

- I'm just looking at the license.

- What if that is it?

That is it.

That's the license plate.

That's exactly

what the sign said.

It's the same license plate.

Okay, let me call...

That's the same

as the license plate.

That's the same car!

That's it!

Okay, okay,

I'm calling the police.

All right, fine.

He's probably whatever.

He's probably...

It's probably the, um...

like a custody battle or

something, you know what I mean?

It's probably, like, a parent

who wants custody of their kid,

and, you know,

they're just fighting.

It's not like it's like,

you know, serious.

Well, it could be

very, very serious.

- Should I keep taping?

- Samantha Green.

- We're traveling west on the 60...

- You got it?

I feel like we're

on Cops right now.

Okay, I think we see

the Amber Alert car.

No, no, no,

we do see the Amber Alert car.

This is the Amber Alert car.

Yes, gray.

Yes. Yes!

Okay. Um...

You feel like Cops, buddy?

Um, how fast is it going?

- Sixty-five.

- About 65.

Kind of shot like Cops, yeah.

This is Officer Riley.

No, he's going pretty calm,

not erratic at all.

I've been doing this beat

for 20 years.

- Watch the road!

- Just... will you drive?

- I'm all right.

- Be safe!

- I am!

- Okay, yes.

So, should we follow it?

What should we do?

Should we try and get

in front of it?

Okay, okay.

We won't. Okay. Okay.

Um, okay.

- No, we can't see anything inside the...

- Time to switch out the battery.

If we want to, we can just

follow it at a safe distance.

Okay, well, then,

we're not gonna do that.

We got a lot of stuff

we need to do,

so we're not gonna

follow it, obviously.

We're not police officers,

so, whatever.

No, we have to follow it.

Get in the right lane.

What do you mean

we're gonna follow it?

Get in the right lane.

We have to follow it.

No, we don't.

We're not policemen, Sam.

They said we could as long as...

They said...

they said that we could,

but we don't have to

if we don't want to.

Get in the right lane.

One more over.

- Oh, my god.

- One more over.

Sam, this is...

this is not a good idea.

This is our civic duty,

or our responsibility.

Oh, my god.

Our civic duty?

I mean, to be good

members of the community.

Sam, it's probably some dude

who has a custody battle

over their kid!

It's probably a mom or a dad...

We don't know the story,

and it's not our job...

like you said, we're not cops.

It's not our job to find

out what happened,

it's just our job... we

saw it, we're following.

It's not our job to follow it!

- It's not our job.

- We can! They said we can at a safe distance.

Look, just drive the car.

You called the cops.

That's all we can do.

I mean, how long is it gonna take

for them to get here, anyway?

Okay, there... he's...

bah-bah-bah-bah!

- What? Aw, come on.

- Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry.

You... you said

you called the cops, right?

- Yeah.

- Okay, well then...

- They said...

- They'll be here any minute, right?

Well, they said there was

a ton of calls right now,

and so it could take

up to 15 minutes.

- What?!

- They're probably just eating doughnuts.

Well, I don't want to follow

this guy for 15 minutes.

All right, when you look inside

and it looks like

it's, like, nothing...

You stay normal, and I

will try to look around.

Maybe it's, like, a little old lady

or something and it's a mistake...

can we please just

go about our business?

Little old ladies

could kidnap kids, too.

Caleb, get down!

No, it's fine.

He can't see me.

He's fine.

He's fine!

- Can't see a thing.

- He's fine.

It's tinted.

I can't see anything, either.

I know, I can't see anything.

Okay, let me call again.

I'll tell them that he got off.

- Okay.

- So they know.

Traveling south, we think.

You think this is south?

On... McClintock.

Okay.

Ask them how long

it's gonna take.

How long is it gonna take

for you guys to get here?

We're right here...

I mean, we think

this is the car.

This is the car.

This is the car.

It's the car, and we got

sh*t we need to do today.

So... and I'm not

a policeman.

- Shh!

- I'm not a... I'm not a police officer!

- I don't care what she hears.

- All right, thank you.

Fifty, right? But I think he's

going way faster than that.

Okay, well, make sure

you get up there.

I am not gonna get... I'm not

gonna break the speed limit.

- You can just... ugh!

- I'm not gonna break the speed limit because...

You're gonna lose him if

you don't get up closer.

Do you know how many points I

have on my license already, Sam?

Get up closer.

I'll take the ticket.

- I have got so many points!

- Just hurry up!

- I'll tell... them.

- All right, I'm driving faster.

Okay, hurry, hurry, hurry.

- I can still...

- You're gonna lose him!

I can still see him.

Do you not care if we lose him?

- If we...

- Do you understand...

- Sam!

- Do you understand what is at stake here?

No, I don't.

Please explain it to me.

This is not like...

this could be anyone.

This could be a little kid all

by themselves in that car.

- Yeah?

- A little kid that could be molested and murdered.

- It's a stepchild.

- A little kid

with their whole life

in front of them,

and we are the one

in between this kid

getting murdered

and killed or not.

No, I don't...

I totally disagree with that.

I think you're blowing this

way out of proportion.

Don't get so close to it!

You're getting... blowing

this way out of proportion.

I think it's better

if we stay back, anyway,
