Hot Pursuit Page #8

- We should go back.

- No way. Man.

Excuse me, coming through.

- Pick up your feet.

- These shoes are a safety hazard.

Keep it moving.

Wanna dance?

Captain Emmett.

- Cooper, what are you doing here?

- I'm glad you're here.

- I knew you would believe me.

- I told you to go home.

No, you're not gonna need

your weapon right now.

What are you doing?

You don't follow orders, do you?

Well, maybe you will now.

Outside, quickly and quietly.

- I don't believe this.

- Just relax.

I trusted you.

My father trusted you.

We're just going outside

to find someplace to talk.

Don't make me use this.

Ladies and gentleman, Miss Teresa Cortez!

- Come on.

- Aah!

First of all,

I want to thank everyone for coming.

Second, Elsa Muez,

I hope you're watching on YouTube...

...because you weren't invited. And you

won't be until you apologize to Patricia.

All right, party people.

Now it's time for the surprise dance.

Let's go. Let's go.

Teresa!

Hey, what do you think you're doing?

Are we alone?

Where are your men?

Enjoying the party.

Out of the way!

- Aah!

- Shouldn't have been this hard.

You were supposed to go to Riva's...

...write in your little

notebook, and leave.

But you just had to show up early.

You're working for a drug lord.

You're killing people.

See, that's your problem.

You're too by-the-book.

There are cops that understand

the gray area...

...and cops who have to be eliminated.

And not everybody wants to die...

...a poor, happy Boy

Scout like your father.

- That make you feel better?

- No, but this does!

You just got Coopered, b*tch!

What do you think that you're...?

Get out of the way!

Come on. Relax, cario.

You could be

anywhere in the world right now.

Why did you come back?

Well...

...like you said:

"Family is everything."

And you took mine away from me.

You killed my brother...

Well, the good news is

you're about to see him again.

Drop your weapon!

Your brother was a coward...

...crying like a baby.

He begged for his life.

Now you will do the same.

Never.

Vicente Cortez, you're under arrest...

...for murder and attempted murder,

and I'll figure out the rest later.

Miss Riva.

Put the gun down.

If you pull that trigger, you'll go

to jail for the rest of your life.

Think about what you're doing.

He killed my brother.

He killed the only family I had.

I can't let him live.

And I can't let you kill him.

Don't make me stop you.

I'm asking you for the last time.

Put the gun down.

You won't regret this. I promise.

- Are you kidding me?

- What?

You made me not kill him

so that you get to kill him?

I get to kill him?

I just saved your life!

I have been waiting for six years

for this moment...

...and you come at the last second

and ruin it?

I just took a bullet for you!

You took a bullet for me?

It went right through you and hit me!

Because your stupid little skinny arms

cannot even stop a bullet!

- Wait a second.

- What?

I got shot?

- I got shot.

- Yeah, you little cucaracha.

My God. I didn't even feel it.

- You need to sit down.

- Okay.

It's gonna be okay. Just sit down.

Come here, Cooper.

It's not that bad, you're gonna be fine.

You're gonna be fine, Cooper.

Rose.

What?

My name is Rose.

Don't look. Don't look. Don't look.

Just hold it there.

Officer Cooper here for a Bravo 6971.

You're Cooper? The Cooper?

Yes, but let me explain.

That civilian came out of nowhere

and said, "Shotgun," and I did not know...

You took down Vicente Cortez!

Yes, that is me.

So nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

I heard you took a bullet.

She did not take a bullet.

She just slowed it down.

Hello, Miss Riva.

You gotta be kidding me.

You look like a sexy traffic cone.

I do not believe

they'll let you leave in that outfit.

No? What are you gonna do?

Are you gonna call a 10-545?

Or, a 75-49?

Okay, all right.

One for the road, honey.

Ay, Brenda, Brenda, Brenda.

I'm going to miss you.

Don't forget everything I taught you.

First is the toner and then...

- ...the sunscreen.

- The sunscreen. I remember!

- Ciao, Jimmy!

- Ciao, ciao.

God, I'm gonna miss her.

Get your ass back in that cell!

Thank you.

Well,

seems like you did very well for yourself.

Well, I am the lady who knows the lady

who took down Vicente Cortez.

I had a bird, I had the Time Warner...

Actually, I'm kind of, like, annoyed...

...that they only gave me three months

for obstructing your justice.

Maybe now you'll be

on the straight and narrow.

Please, I'm always going to have

some curves.

Well, there's one thing

you're gonna need either way:

- The right pair of shoes.

- Aah!

How did you...?

Must have gotten lost in evidence.

I can't believe that you broke

your little book of rules for me.

All right, keep it down.

Exactly how many times

did you broke the rules?

I mean, exactly how many pairs of times?

Well, I got you the sparkly stilettos

to go out...

...the sparkly stilettos to stay in...

...and, of course, the corky wedges.

I mean, I could kiss you right now.

But I remember that was

not your strong suit.

Please don't.

You know, you seem different now.

I do? How?

Taller.

Look at you. You're such

a badass now, breaking all the rules.

I'll have you know, too,

I've also broken some other rules.

I'm breaking a 10-66 right now.

Harboring a fugitive?

Can't just tap the brake,

can you, sweetheart?

Sorry, honey.

What is he doing here?

We're keeping our relationship

a bit under the radar.

- We're not ready to go public yet.

- Hola, cowboy.

All right, all right. And technically

he is not a fugitive. I helped him get off.

I'm sure you did.

That's disgusting.

Somebody's getting Coopered.

All right, cut it out.

Okay, I might've Coopered him a little.

Clap it.

Now tell me why that bag's so heavy!

Hold on, Reese. We're checking something.

God, I was giving

the performance of a lifetime.

Or, I could drive you.

Sorry! Sorry! Okay.

- Yeah. It's there. He left. I think he left.

- Ha-ha-ha.

I'll get you...

Seriously, motherf...

- Shoot! Shoot!

- I'm shooting at him!

Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut.

So if you want to take me to Dallas to die,

take me.

But you're taking me with my...

...big bag.

What is my word?

- We need to find something of clothes.

- Yes.

- No, that's not the line.

- Still rolling!

You see, once a month my uterus shreds...

Yep, her uterus.

It shreds?

- It must hurt. Does that hurt?

- I'm just saying...

...I wouldn't let the fact...

...that I have a little cuca

get in the way of my dream.

That means "a dream." One second.

- Of your DVD?

- I forgot.

Here's a blanket.

My God!

What, a hot girl can't read

the whole...

I had a stroke.

Now you're mouthing the words.

No, that doesn't make any sense.

Why do you look like you're in Menudo?

Well, why do you look like Bruno Mars?

Why do you look like Marc Anthony?

Let me do it again.

Here.

You...

I have a better idea.

Your hair.

Every time you come up,
