Riggs, you sure we're on the right street?

We must be getting warm.

-You see anything?

-Where? I don't see anything.

This must be the place.

Holy sh*t!

What the hell is that?

Jesus!

Who's this joker?

I don't know.

A spokesman for the NRA.

Regular a**hole.

What do we do now?

Run him over.

What if he shoots us with that rifle?

-He hasn't yet. Maybe he won't.

-What if he does?

Don't be a Don't-Bee.

Be a Do-Bee. Be positive.

Positive?

-Run him over.

-Glad you see things my way.

I hope he doesn't turn.

He won't. We'll creep up on him

so he won't notice.

Will him not to turn.

Power of positive thinking.

Don't turn.

Will him with me.

Don't turn around.

I need you.

Don't turn around!

Just believe!

Don't turn around!

We're better than him.

We're better!

He's turning.

They just bounce off him!

I saw! We're in trouble!

Sh*t! I'll draw his fire.

You run for cover.

No, I'll draw his fire.

You run for cover.

Are you crazy?! You got a wife, kids.

I got less to lose!

Get out of here!

I'm not supposed to tell you,

but Lorna's pregnant.

What'd you say?

You'll be a father!

She was afraid to tell you.

She was afraid you'd get angry.

You never talked about children?

-Sh*t!

-A baby.

There's something I'm not

supposed to tell you too.

Rianne's pregnant. You're going

to be a grandfather.

Rianne's what?!

Rianne can't be pregnant.

She's not married.

I don't think she intended to get that way.

They asking me to be a granddaddy?

Here's what we'll do.

Take your clothes off!

What for?

Okay, you run.

Flame-O sees you in your undies.

It distracts him, then I shoot.

-Shoot what?

-The valve on that napalm tank!

Before he shoots me?

-Maybe.

-Maybe?!

Is he black?

Too much armor on.

I can't tell!

No! Not him!

The father of the baby!

Please let him be black!

Get going! Here he comes!

Are those hearts?

Not now, Riggs.

Just hit the damn valve!

Also, flap and make noises like a bird.

Flap my arms? Why?

It'll distract him more.

I need him to turn.

-On 2!

-We always go on 3.

No time for 3. 2!

-What about 1?

-Okay. 1, 2, go!

I don't want to die in my underwear!

Why are you waiting?

Shoot the bastard!

Riggs, you think that bird thing helped?

I just wanted to see if you'd do it.

Cute shorts.

Go spit!

I'll buy you a doughnut.

Don't hug me when I'm naked.

You're ashamed of your butt?

He's a lively one.

That shark hurts my boat,

I take it out on you, Leo.

-I didn't mean to catch it.

-Why do you want to keep it?

Yeah, why keep a shark?

The teeth'll look great on a wall.

They got to stop snapping first.

Maybe he'll fall asleep.

Converse with him.

He'll nod off.

-He don't look tired.

-Chewing on Leo will wear him out.

Sharks eat their own kind?

Stop it!

I'm in stitches!

Okay, where's my bag?

Starboard side aft.

Starboard, that's left, right?

No, port's left.

Starboard's right.

Right, yeah. Right side aft.

Got it!

-Whatever.

-Check both sides.

Careful!

He's behind you, shark!

Maybe we should throw him overboard.

Throw them both overboard.

No witnesses.

We'd probably get away with it.

You too?

I kept my nose out of it...

...but you and Lorna.

You're having a baby,

you're living together.

You're not marrying.

Why, does that violate your

family values system?

I'm just trying to understand.

Rianne's not married either.

That's hitting below the belt.

You know, when I was married...

...it was good. You know.

You put the ring on.

You make the commitment.

You do all the....

She's dead because I'm a cop.

She's dead because I'm a cop and I...

I don't wear the ring anymore...

...but I look, and it's still there.

I still feel it.

It's like I'm not finished with that yet.

I can't explain it.

Is that bullshit?

No. It's not finished.

It's not finished.

Okay, you did say "aft"?

A-F-T. Aft!

That's a f***ing word?

In the back on the right side, Leo!

Why didn't you say that

to begin with, Roger?!

People get around boats and water,

everything becomes nautical!

"Astern! Avast, you landlubbers!

Man the bilge pump!"

Pump your f***ing ass!

All right, all right!

No problem, no problem!

What's Lorna say about it?

She doesn't like nautical terms either.

We haven't discussed it.

That's pretty messed up.

The baby's due in days and you

haven't talked about marrying?

No.

I haven't done it at all.

Do we want Leo to shoot the shark?

I want Leo to shoot...

No, Leo!

What?!

-What's the deal?!

-You're shooting a gun on my boat!

I'm not shooting your boat,

I'm shooting Jaws.

Nobody's killing it

just to have its teeth!

You're grumpy since you

learned you'll be a grandpa.

Get off of me, will you?

Don't fool around!

Some piece of hardware!

Got a permit?

Of course!

I'm a P.I. now.

A gumshoe! You get in

ugly situations. I got guns!

You are an ugly situation.

You don't deserve this.

You're not safe.

Smart move, Riggs.

Sh*t!

Hard right!

You hear shots?

Coast Guard, this is Code 7.

We're in L.A. Harbor.

We got an 07.

They're getting away!

Who was it? Do we know?

No, no, I'll drive!

-Want me to help?

-Get out of here!

This your gun?

Yeah, want laser surgery?

You could blind somebody!

Coast Guard, this is Code 7,

in pursuit of freighter.

Heading north.

Awaiting instructions. Over.

Code 7,

maintain your present course.

We have a cutter en route.

Why you slowing down?

We'll hang here.

Coast Guard'll be here soon.

-What do we do now?

-Show them our badges.

LAPD!

LAPD!

Los Angeles Police Department!

We heard gunfire!

The Coast Guard's on the...

Coast Guard!

Freighter's on fire!

-Let's board them.

-What are you talking about?!

Fire on the freighter!

Okay, I'm upside.

Now what do you do?

They're getting away.

Get me up there!

Hell of a fishing trip!

Shut up and keep your head down!

LAPD!

Stop where you are!

Hold it right there!

He's got it! He's got it!

What'd he say?

Watch his back!

You didn't say you'd shoot!

Tie it up!

Pull it up!

Great!

I said keep the boat closer!

Why listen to Leo?

Sh*t!

You all right, Riggs?!

Look!

Sh*t!

Jump! Jump!

Where are you?

My boat! My new boat!

-The shark.

-What about the shark?

Shark!

Don't leave me!

Come on!

-Hurry up!

-I'm coming!

You'll make it!

This is all I got left.

Four sets of papers, totally genuine.

They'll get in the country

and can stay forever.

U.S. citizens.

Ask them to vote the incumbent party.

Help me keep my State Department job.

Bloody marvelous!

They red-flag Asian visas.

Those were hard to slip through.

The ship's been impounded.

What about the family?

We don't know yet.

Don't worry. I'll take care of it.

Something wrong?

A small delivery problem, Mr. Proody.

Goodbye.

Leave!

I'll find them.

Now.

Coast Guard interdicts

about one a month.

Pretty raggedy-looking.

Six weeks locked in a hole

with one toilet.

Rice and some fish to eat.

Lousy deal for 35 grand a head.

Where'd they get that kind of money?

Didn't. Got to work it off from
