No Ice In Paradise

S2 E3: For Duane Dog Chapman the War On Ice (crystal methamphetamine) has many fronts. Today he adds a new line of attack to his arsenal - in addition to hunting fugitives he will now try public awareness. Dog, the rest of the crew and family begin the day on an special Anti- Drug Float in a Hawaiian style parade.His next target in this war is more frightening. The bail jumping Pana is a convicted drug dealer, and has a reputation on the street as being a member of the deadly California gang, The Bloods. In their hunt through Chinatown and the projects, the crews fears are realized when Pana's mother gives them a picture of her son standing with other Bloods, wearing the gang's colors and making gang hand signs. Later they meet a woman who has a score to settle with the fugitive, and she offers to help Dog to lay a trap and spring it at midnight in Chinatown. After a speedy arrest, Pana's family responsibilities and denial of gang connections convince Dog that there is hope for his reform. With one dealer off the street the team ends their day at 3:00 AM. But the next morning Dog has to get to City Hall to receive a tribute from the City Council for his efforts in the war on ice. Needless to say, Dog is deeply moved.
