Plot
Jake Peralta and Charles Boyle are following a suspect to gather evidence on him by taking surveillance photos. Much to Jake's annoyance, Boyle, the one taking the photos, is fussing over the lighting. When their suspect begins walking down the street they go to follow and kick a soda can which clangs loudly and attracts his suspicion. He immediately takes off running and gets to a street that is filled with bumper to bumper traffic. The suspect proceeds to climb on top of the cars and continues to run from car to car. Jake is excited by this outcome as it fulfills his action movie fantasies. He chases after the suspect until one of his legs falls directly into an open sunroof.
