Fastlane

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.

While out socializing together for the first time--in a valuable sports car taken from the Candy Store without authorization--Van and Deaq encounter a trio of female jewel thieves who destroy the car, getting the pair into trouble with Billie. The cops pose as wealthy jewel buyers to gain the women's trust, but the operation goes awry when two robbery homicide officers get involved, unaware that Van and Deaq are fellow policemen. Antonio Fargas guest stars as Jimmy Lipps.

Van and Deaq are sent to infiltrate a gang of Russian mobsters in order to learn whether or not an undercover cop, Dallas (Rod Rowland), who has been investigating the gangsters for two years, has actually joined them in their criminal activities. The partners must also stop the contents of a dangerous shipment from entering the United States.

When Deaq's ex-girlfriend, Rosaria (Tammy Townsend), has trouble leaving her abusive husband, Alton Loud (Terrence Howard), Deaq convinces Van and Billie to help stop Alton's armed robbery crew before they steal millions in a well-orchestrated casino heist. Posing as Rosaria's recently paroled cousin, Deaq infiltrates the gang. But Van worries about Deaq's emotional investment in the case, and he and Billie must race to save Deaq when he is exposed as an undercover cop.

Van and Deaq open a hip Hollywood nightclub to trap a major ring dealing the drug Ecstasy. When the investigation encounters problems, Billie gets involved. Musician Biz Markie guest stars as himself.

Van frees his legendary convict father, Raymond (Robert Forster - "Mulholland Dr."), from prison to help with a counterfeiting case. Musician Iggy Pop guest stars as McNair, a disheveled man with a connection to Raymond.
