Hot Pursuit

All right, baby girl, you ready

for your first day at work with Daddy?

- Daddy, go fast!

- Okay!

- Happy Halloween!

- Happy Halloween to you, too...

...Officer Cooper.

Yes!

Where'd that scumbag come from?

We're gonna have to move quick.

bomb threat.

bomb threat.

shooting.

shooting.

He doesn't smell like Santa.

You're so pretty.

Thanks, baby, you are too.

- Thanks, Daddy.

- Have fun.

I'll have her back by 10:00.

8:
30? 8:00.

I'll have her back by 8:00.

All units respond to a 10-15.

Copy that. Noise disturbance.

Freeze! Police!

My God!

Police officer coming through!

Get out of the way! Move your vehicle!

Get back in your car, sir!

Get back in your vehicle.

- What do you think you're doing?

- Aah! I can explain.

I know it's not cool

to leave in the middle of a...

Date. It was a first date.

And, honestly, I expected more

out of a guy I met on Christian Mingle.

It's just that... Don't take this the

wrong way... you're kind of intense.

Intense? Intense how?

When I said I had to leave early,

you pulled your gun out on the table.

No, no. I was doing a thing like:

"Don't you walk away

until I get a second date."

- It was supposed to be funny.

- It really wasn't.

I was just chasing you

because you forgot your wallet.

Okay. Thanks.

- I'm gonna walk back to my car now.

- All right.

- Bye!

- Bye.

Hey. You forgot to pay your bill.

Dang it!

I really thought this one

was gonna work out.

News out of Texas: A huge break...

...in the case against notorious

cartel leader Vicente Cortez.

Sources say a cartel insider...

...is prepared to testify

against the violent crime lord.

I will be out in a few hours.

I will never miss my daughter's birthday.

Cortez is suspected

of more than 100 murders...

...while dominating the U.S. drug trade.

Law enforcement officials

have called him "untouchable" until now.

Since when is it illegal to dance naked...

- ...on my own street?

- Shut up!

- Hey, Coop.

- No. Hold on.

- I don't have time for this.

- Wait a second. Slow down.

My legs are shorter than yours.

Detective Hauser, come back.

You know protocol.

All evidence has to be submitted

in a proper-size Nolan envelope.

This is dangerous and could hurt someone.

You encounter a lot of danger here, Coop?

As a matter of fact, I do.

The other day they brought in a duffle bag.

I opened it, there was a live raccoon

in there. It could've had rabies.

Or it could've had worse.

Raccoon herpes.

That's real contagious.

How does it feel?

I imagine a burning sensation

in the little guy's genital region.

Officer Cooper,

report to Captain Emmett's office.

Sorry, boys. I'd like to keep talking

with y'all, but the captain needs me.

Watch your head, detective.

I was gonna say, "How does it feel

being a glorified secretary?"

Cooper, this is Deputy U.S.

Marshal Jackson, in from Dallas.

All due respect, Captain Emmett...

...I know exactly

who Deputy Marshal Jackson is.

- It's an honor to meet you, sir.

- Thank you.

What I'm about to say

cannot leave this room.

- Okay?

- Yes, sir.

Do you know who Felipe Riva is?

Yes. He is the top lieutenant

in the Cortez cartel.

Since 1989, he's responsible for all

their "finances," a.k.a., money laundering.

He is known as The Bank of Bogot,

The Tender Tender...

...The Lender Lender, The Money Launderer,

El Chapo, The Pork Chop, La Chalupa...

Okay. Okay, okay.

Riva and his wife

are gonna testify against Cortez.

But Cortez has killed

every potential witness we've had.

Which is why only the three of us

can know this.

He has people on his payroll everywhere.

Now, tomorrow morning, Deputy Jackson

is gonna escort Riva to Dallas...

...so he can testify

the following morning at 8:00 a.m.

And you...

- ...are gonna go with him.

- Me?

You want me to go to Dallas?

The law requires

a female escort for Mrs. Riva.

Yes, of course. Section 290.

The Richards Rule.

I know you've been wanting

to get off the bench.

- Yes, sir.

- And ever since the shotgun incident...

Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Hold up.

You're the Cooper?

As in, "He just pulled a Cooper"?

As in, "Don't Cooper that sh*t"?

I was following protocol, sir.

I found the source of the noise complaint.

- Who's got the keys?

- Hey, I got shotgun!

Drop your weapon!

My gosh!

- Why would you do that?

- Why?

He just wanted to sit in the front seat!

My God! My God! My God!

God.

I'm so sor...

I'm sor...

Actually, I thought you were an urban myth.

You'd never heard someone

calling "shotgun" to sit in the front?

That's a negative, sir.

I've never heard that term used that way.

Look, all you have to do

is take care of Riva's wife.

- Yes.

- Okay?

Keep her calm...

...take her to the little girls' room

if she has any lady business.

Yes. Captain, do we have any idea

if Miss Riva is menopausal?

Yes, because I've been tracking her cycle and

cross-referencing it to the lunar calendar.

- Really? Can I get the chart?

- No!

Get out of here. Go. Just go. Go.

Thank you, deputy.

- Captain Emmett?

- Yes, Cooper.

Not that I'm not grateful

for the opportunity, sir...

...but this seems like a very important

detail for my first day back in the field.

Cooper.

You're cut from the same cloth

as the best cop there ever was.

Thank you, sir.

It's time to make your father proud.

Just try not to get

all in your head about it, okay?

- Captain Emmett, I will not let you down.

- I know you won't, Cooper.

Deputy Jackson, Captain Emmett said

that this transport was at 11 a.m.

At the rate we're going,

we'll get there more than an hour early.

Riva's a flight risk. Showing up early

might keep him from running.

Okay, but we're going

over 30 miles over the speed limit...

- ...which is illegal. And also...

- Whoa, whoa, whoa. Cooper, Cooper, Cooper.

You are chatty.

Look, the thing is, today

is your lucky day.

Why is that?

You get a chance to get out of the

doghouse, and you with me, sweetie.

All right, so just put your head down...

...turn off the walkie...

...and keep your Taser in your pants.

Okay, chief?

- Copy that.

- Okay.

Try not to fall in love with me.

Okay. Copy that.

Wait, that was a joke.

- Ha-ha-ha.

- Okay.

You are cute. You are cute.

Mrs. Riva.

This is Deputy U.S. Marshal Jackson.

I'm here for you and your husband.

You're early.

- Who's this?

- Mr. Riva, I'm Officer Cooper...

Don't worry about her.

Nobody knows we're here.

She has to be here for your wife.

She ready to go?

I'm not so sure

about this Witness Protection anymore.

And why is that?

Ay, perdona. My wife is a come mierda.

How you say in English?

Sh*t mouth?

The U.S. Government

has you trafficking on tape.

So you only got two choices:

Either come to Dallas, testify against

Cortez before the grand jury...

...or go to jail for the rest of your life.

- Let me ask about Witness Protection.

- Okay.

If I go to Ohio, can my wife go to...

What is the furthest place from Ohio?

San Diego.

- Definitely San Diego.
