Episode #5001

Volatile police officers Van Ray (series star PETER FACINELLI) and Deaqon "Deaq" Hayes (series star BILL BELLAMY) go deep undercover to pursue the worst criminals in Los Angeles. Van and Deaq have access to everything they need, benefiting from the "Candy Store," a warehouse full of seized Ducatis, Ferraris and Rolexes--the ultimate ticket to the glamorous world of high-stakes crime. They also get help from Billie Chambers (series star TIFFANI THIESSEN), their contact within the police department.

After Van's partner, Andre (VONDIE CURTIS HALL), is murdered while trying to apprehend a powerful car thief, Van gets into a fight with Deaq, who he discovers is Andre's brother. Deaq is a cop who traveled from New York to avenge his brother's death. He and Van become partners and, working with Billie, hunt for a four-man crew that has been stealing cars, cash and valuables from other dealers. The guys know that this gang is responsible for Andre's murder. Van uses his smooth-talking style to gain the confidence of a woman named Cassidy (JENNIFER SKY), hoping she will lead him to Kane (CRAIG SHEFFER), the head of the organization. Van and Deaq trap Kane, using Deaq's uncle, Aquarius (recurring guest star KURT ANDERSON aka disc jockey BIG BOY), as bait. ISAAC HAYES guest stars as Marcus, PAUL GLEASON guest stars as Lannigan and FRED DURST makes a cameo appearance as himself.
