The pair’s helicopter proceeds to get shot at and they can be heard screaming before seemingly as they hurl toward to ground on a golf course.
Murphy is, then, handcuffed and about to be put in the back of a cop car.
‘This is very embarrassing. Part of me’d rather get locked up then get put in this little Fisher-Price looking squad car,’ he jokes to the arresting officer. ‘Y’all are the LEGO cops.’
After his arrest, he calls his daughter, Jane, from jail, but she ends up hanging up on him.
‘You sure y’all paying y’all’s bills? ‘Cause this phone don’t work,’ he tells an officer while trying to process what happens.
Later, he tells a cop that this isn’t his ‘first time in Beverly Hills.
‘Yeah, I saw that,’ the officer notes while scrolling through a file with information on his past arrests in the city in 1984, 1987 and 1994.
During the preview, Murphy, who returned to Beverly Hills after his daughter was threatened, is told he’s ‘p**sing off a lot of people.’
He replies: ‘That means we’re getting close.’
