Plot
In Beverly Hills, Captain Andrew Bogomil, Detective Billy Rosewood, and Sergeant John Taggart are investigating a series of high-value robberies distinguished by envelopes left bearing alphabetic characters in alphabetic order and containing encrypted letters. The egotistical and incompetent new police chief Harold Lutz suspends Bogomil in retalliation for Rosewood reaching out for intel from the FBI, believing it would harm the mayor's political ambitions. Lutz also demots Rosewood and Taggart to traffic duty. On his way home, Bogomil stops to help a broken down driver and is shot multiple times by ruthless Karla Fry because Bogomil was getting close to solving the case. Bogomil is taken to hospital and survives but remains in critical condition.
