Q: Why was Nicole Stockman played by a different actress in Armageddon
A: According to Supervising Producer Shari Lane Bowles (via email): "Sandra Ferguson booked a soap opera before we were able to lock her down for the season finale, thus we hired Jillian [McWhirter]."
Q: Where did the show film, and where were the sets?
A: L.A. Heat was filmed in a variety of locations in Southern California. As for the sets, the police station and gym were built at PM Entertainment's production headquarters. Chase's house is a real house located in Malibu, and August' home belonged to co-producer Paul Volk.
Q: What were the poems the murderer left behind in "Rage," and who is the author?
A: They come from Robert Browning's "A Woman's Last Words," and are as follows:
| Verse 1 |
Verse 2 |
Verse 3 |
|---|
Let's contend no more love,
strive nor weep.
All be as before,
love only sleep. |
See the creature stalking,
while we speak.
Hush and hide the talking,
cheek on cheek. |
Teach me only teach love,
as I ought.
I will speak thy speech love,
think thy thought. |
Q: What kind of guns do Chase and August carry?
A: According to fan Jake Reilly, Chase mainly carried a Glock 9mm, and August carried a Taurus automatic.
Q: Sometimes Chase says "1-William-7" instead of "1-William-13," which is what August uses as a call sign. Why is that?
A: This turned out to not be the blooper I originally took it for. Apparently, the detectives as individuals have separate call signs, not the detectives as a pair. "1-William-13" is August's call sign, and "1-William-7" is Chase's.
Q: What is the address of August and Kendra's house?
A: Although a a fake address, August and Kendra live at 4579 19th St. Inglewood, CA, 93340.
Q: What is Chase's cell-phone number?
A: (213) 555-3949. And yes, 213 is the correct area code for Los Angeles.
Q: What is the address of the police department?
A: 1945 South Hill St. Los Angeles, CA, 90007-1-166. In real life, the Los Angeles Metropolitan Courthouse is located at that address. (Although the odd "-1-166" portion is fake.)
Q: Did Capt. Jensen change offices during the series? I seem to remember him being in a different office when the show first started.
A: No. Jensen has always been in the same office. It was just arranged differently in the first and second seasons, and even had a second door in the back that was only in the first season.
Q: Whatever happened to Sevens, and why was it called that?
A: Sevens (a small beach-front restaurant the characters frequented often in the first season) made its first appearance in the second episode, "Too Young To Die." The owner, Priscilla Webster, explained that the place was named after the badge number (7777) of Max, her late husband, who had been Chase's previous partner. For whatever reason, it gradually disappeared from the show, but that's not to say they stopped going there. Perhaps they did between episodes.
Q: What were Jodi and Kendra's jobs?
A: Jodi worked at the art gallery where Chase's work is often displayed. Kendra's job, however, is currently unknown. We know she volunteers at August's youth center, and in "Strange Currencies," she tells Jodi she has the day off, but we don't know if she was referring to working at the center or another place.
Q: What's the deal with the end of the final episode, "Vengeance?" Did Chase die or what? I was left hanging!
A: As were we all. I suppose it could be taken either way, as it wasn't said for sure. Personally, I'd say that with the dialogue spoken between the two and the heroic nature of the music, that Chase was okay and would survive his wounds. However, you could also say it looks like he dies in the last close-up we see of him. Since we were left hanging, check out the Fan-Fiction to see how some of us have wrapped up the events.
Q: What is Captain Jensen's first name, and Jodi's last name?
A: If you listen closely to the press conference on TV in the episode "John Doe," Jensen is introduced as "Captain Robert Jensen." Jodi's last name was never mentioned in the show, but I've seen it listed as being Miller.
Q: How long have August and Kendra been married, and how did they first meet?
A: In "Daybomber," August says that he's been married for five years, which would put his and Kendra's wedding at sometime in 1991. It was never mentioned how they met, though.
Q: Where any of the characters' parents ever shown?
A: Yes. Chase's mother appeared in the first season finale, "Wake-Up Call." Jodi's parents visited in the first season episode "Rap Sheet," and her father even got to tag along with Chase and August on a case and ended up driving their car in a chase. But neither August nor Kendra's parents were ever shown. August's aunt, however, was in the episode "Legacy of A Buffalo Soldier."
