T1, E1: 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.
