SUMMARY

Arriving at a crime scene, Chase and August find a member of the Bulldog Crips gang shot to death. Chase is surprised to find a note containing rap lyrics pinned to his sleeve, which leads them to rival gang member Cage. After a daring chase, Cage is apprehended and interrogated by the detectives. Cage accuses A.K., a famous rap star, of the murder. Kicking in A.K.'s door, Chase and August square off with the musician and his manager, Frank Millan. But the detectives soon learn that nothing is what it seems, and the real killer is closer than they think. Meanwhile, Jodi's parents are in town.

BLOOPERS

When A.K. is outside the police station before the sniper attack, the boom microphone is barely visible at the bottom of the frame during his close-up. (Though it's possible this could be a microphone from one of the press crews in the scene.) In the very next shot, the camera and another crew member are briefly visible in Chase's window as he opens the door.

During the chase after the assassination attempt, five bullet holes mysteriously appear in Kurt Brown's windshield. Interior shots reveal no holes, but instead a large horizontal crack across the windshield, which is not visible from the outside.

When Brown takes off in the Corvette, he hits a man carrying a box, who rolls into the windshield and off the car. But the interior shot of him hitting the windshield is actually the close-up of the Freedom Express delivery man from the very first episode, "Daybomber."

When August gets into the car as Chase takes off on foot after Brown, Bob puts his hat on backwards, the bill angling to the right and back. The first shot of him afterwards, the hat bill is sticking straight out to the right.

When the Corvettes start across the bridge, the shattered part of Brown's windshield should be in the center, but instead, it is over on the right side. (This is because the sequence was taken from Last Man Standing, produced by PM Entertainment.)

The reflection on the side of Jodi's parent's car at the end shows a beach, but reverse angles show a row of hedges and a wooden fence.

Various crew members and what appears to be a camera crane are visible on the side of the car as Martha and Bob pull away from the curb.
