National Security Page #7

Synopsis: Earl and Hank have only one thing in common: they're both L.A.P.D. rejects. One just got kicked out, the other can't even get in. After confronting each other on opposite sides of the law during a traffic stop that escalates out of control, these two luckless individuals end up partnered as lowly security guards. Despite being damned to the lowest rung of the law enforcement ladder, Earl and Hank uncover a sophisticated smuggling operation led by Nash and his band of thugs. When Earl and Hank get their hands on some hot property, they go on the run from, first the bad guys, then the L.A.P.D.--led by Lt. Washington and Detective McDuff. What these two unlikely partners do to law enforcement is a crime, but they just might save the day. That is, if they don't kill each other first.

Thanks.

- Earl, welcome to the L.A.P.D.

- You serious?

- Congratulations, Earl.

- Yeah. Thank you.

- Earl! That's enough.

- Oh.

Hey, check it out, 10:00.

Pull over.

- Excuse me.

- You wanna step away from the vehicle?

Hank. Please, man.

Let me show you how this type

of situation is properly handled.

Excuse me, Mr. Civilian,

who has rights.

Did you perhaps lock your keys

in your vehicle?

Yeah, I do it all the time.

They're right there in the visor.

Yeah, yeah. Right there in the visor.

For my partner's peace of mind...

...would you tell us

the numbers on your plate?

- Sure, 2CQN654.

- Is he right?

Yeah.

Allow me to assist you...

...instead of beat you senseless,

like some cops would.

- Thank you, officer

- You're welcome.

- Have a good day, all right?

- I will. Thanks.

Not everyone's a criminal.

Remember that.

My car! No, wait! That's my car!

- Always good to have a backup plan.

- Hey!

I give up!

Ma'am, you may re-procure your vehicle.

You idiot!

What the problem is?
