As Ria and Kim Lee exchange racial insults, Waters gets out of the car and investigates the crime scene which had indirectly caused the accident. One day prior, Persian Farhad (Shaun Toub) and his daughter Dorri (Bahar Soomekh) are buying a gun, but after a belligerent alteraction with the racist shopkeeper, an infuriated Farhad is escorted outside. Dorri buys the gun and a red box of ammunition. In another part of town, Rick Cabot (Brendan Fraser), the local district attorney, and his wife, Jean (Sandra Bullock) are carjacked by Anthony (Chris "Ludacris" Bridges) and Peter (Larenz Tate). Detectives Waters and Ria arrive at the scene of a shooting between two drivers. The surviving shooter is a white male identified as an undercover police officer. The detectives learn that the dead shooter, a black male was also a police officer. Afterwards, at the Cabot house, Hispanic locksmith Daniel Ruiz (Michael Peña) is changing the locks. He overhears Jean, who is frustrated having felt nervous about the two black men but refrained from saying anything to avoid appearing racist.
