Author's Chapter Notes:

Episode 4 with the cast of RUSH HOUR and SIM as they join forces to return to Hon Kong to assist Lee toward helping his uncle with his latest assignment.


INT - Captain Cole's office - Day



Carter and Lee step in. Lee shuts the door behind them.
As Captain Cole is about to say something, Carter puts up
a finger...



Carter: Captain, before you begin I think its only fair to
warn you that I already know.


Cole: Know? About what Detective?


Carter: There, you see?


Cole: See?



Carter wiggles his ears. Lee is caught off guard by this and smiles.



Carter: In case you haven't noticed, I've got ears!


Cole: Oh?



Carter points a finger at her.



Carter: Oh? You're proving my point!


Cole: Point?


Carter: See! There you go again!


Cole: Again?


Carter: (to Lee)...did you see that?!



Lee shrugs his shoulders.



Carter: Captain, please! Just stop while your..BEHIND!



Cole begins to respond, Carter interrupts.



Carter:..Nuh uh! Simon didn't say!


Lee: Whose...behind?


Carter: Well, it's not going to be mine Bro and besides your not helping!



Lee looks at Cole, shrugging his shoulders.



Carter: (cont)...I'm taking my time off Captain and there is nothing that
is going to stop me or change my mind!


Cole: Is that what you think this is about Carter?


Carter: I know so.


Cole: I just wanted to let you know to enjoy your time off.


Carter: Well, if that's so then why is he here?


Cole: I have to brief him on a case.


Carter: UH HUH. And that couldn't have waited?



Lee looks at his watch.


Lee: It's five till.


Carter: (to Lee) Put your arm down man, you ain't helpin!


Carter: (to Cole)..So?



Cole puts up a big smile.



Cole: So...what are your plans for the next two weeks, Carter?


Carter: I thought you were never gonna ask cappy!



Carter looks out the window to those watching. He closes the blinds on them.



Carter: Look, what I am about to say doesn't leave this room, got it?



Both Cole and Lee nod. Carter gets all happy and dreamy.



Carter: First...


Cole: First?


Carter: First, let's see I'm gonna spend one week...


Cole: ..one week...


Carter:...one week...


Cole: Doing?



Cole and Lee listen closely.



Carter: Doing? Doing, lets see...probably doing...nothing man! Just tired
and trying to recover from this place! It's what I do every night
after work...eating ice cream and watching TV until I fall
asleep.



Cole and Lee give a disappointed look.



Carter: But don't you all worry. The second week I should have my shebang
back...


Lee: She-bang?



Carter does a dance.



Carter: Yea man. Shebang! Do a little partying. You know with the babes.


Lee: Babes?


Carter: Where've you been man? Besides, cappy I'm gonna need to borrow
back, you know, my little...black book.


Cole: I can't.


Carter: Why not?


Cole: That book is being held in evidence.


Carter: Look, how was I supposed to know some of them were, you know, one
of them kind!



Both Lee and Cole gives him a look.



Carter: I resolved the case didn't I? Look, you give a little you
get a little right?



Lee gives him a look.



Carter: (to Lee) You wouldn't understand. Besides it's all your fault!


Lee: Mine?


Carter: Man, you are so by the book!


Lee: Good word. You said it.



Cole chuckles.



Carter: (to Lee) Ha ha. Besides, you forced me to squeal!


Lee: Squeal?


Carter: Hello wall!


Carter: (to Cole) Look cappy, do I or don't I have immunity on that case?


Cole: You've stated you had no specific knowledge about these women, right?


Carter: Right! You guys believe me don't you?



There is hesitation before Cole and Lee nod.



Carter: You hesitated! I'm a detective for crying out loud!



Both Cole and Lee give Carter a look.



Carter: Okay, wrong choice of words, but I did NOT have sexual relations
with those women!



Cole gives him a look.



Carter: And besides, I'm pleading the fifth if they prove
otherwise! That wasn't an admittance by the way.


They both give him a look, nodding.
Carter stops for a moment to catch his breath.



Carter: I know. I know. Quit while I'm behind.



Cole and Lee chuckle.



Carter: Well, I'm glad a few of those around us can see the
humor in this. Toodles..



Carter heads toward the door.



Cole: Uh, wait...



Cole pulls up a bag and digs into it.



Carter: Yea, that's right. I almost forgot!



Carter rubs his hands together. Cole hands him a couple of coupons.



Cole: Three for ten special on Hagen Daz, right?.


Cole nods. Carter looks through them. Lee appears to be humored by all
of this.


Carter: Thanks. You wouldn't happen to have one for bonbons on you by
any chance?



Cole finds one and hands it to Carter.



Cole: There you go.


Carter: Thanks.



Carter notices extra coupons still in her hands and takes those too.



Carter: Thank you!



Cole gives Carter a surprised look.

Carter thumbs through the coupons like cash as he walks
out the door.



Cole: Have a good time Carter.



Carter waves without looking back as he exits.




Lee: Mrs. Cole you mentioned earlier that you wanted to see
me about something?


Cole: (Cont)...Yes, I was notified personally by the white
house that you handle this next investigation...



Carter hears this as he closes the door. He stops..



Carter: (to himself)..Wait a minute! the White House?!



Carter hurriedly heads back into the office.

Cole tells something to Lee, handing him a folder. Lee looks through it.



Cole: Oh, Carter. Back so soon?


Carter: Ha, ha. What's up with the white house?


Cole: What? Oh...it was nothing.


Carter: What? Nothing?...See! There you go again!


Cole: What, again?


Carter: (To Lee) There, you see!?



Lee tries to shrug it off.



Carter: You saw it this time! Don't tell me you didn't!


Cole: Carter...Carter!


Carter: What?


Cole: I thought you wanted to start on your vacation?


Carter: I did..and I will. But first tell me what's going on.


Cole: If I tell you...


Carter: Just tell me! Its okay. You know nothing can stop me now anyway!



Carter starts to do a dance.



Carter: (singing) See!!...ain't no stopping me now...


Carter: (cont)...It's just idle curiosity.



The phone rings.



Cole: (To Lee) That must be them.



Carter just beats out Cole at grabbing the phone.



Carter: HELLO!?



Cole keeps her composure.



Carter: Hello, yes. Uhm hmm? You got it. Who? The SIM what?...Team? Uh, hold on let me transfer
you to my assistant to get the details!



Carter hands Cole the phone.



Carter: Here. It's for you.



Carter then sits in a chair.



Cole: Gee, thanks. (To Lee) You can go ahead and deliver that.


Carter: You heading down the street?



Lee nods.



Lee: You coming along?


Carter: Naw man, I'll just be waiting right here.



Carter pulls out a coupon and hands it to him.



Carter: You can grab me some bon bons while your out though, thanks!
