Hurrying to the racetrack, Axel solves the latest riddle sent to the police, and is convinced that this riddle was made easily solvable in order to implicate Cain as the Alphabet Bandit and throw the authorities off Dent's trail. Axel also learns from Jan that all of Dent's businesses have had their insurance coverage canceled and are about to go bankrupt except his racetrack. Having foiled a robbery attempt at a bank depot, Axel tricks Dent's accountant Sidney Bernstein ( Gilbert Gottfried) into letting him use his computer, discovering that Dent and Karla are planning to leave the country. Bogomil was shot because his investigation was on the correct track into the case. Dent is robbing his own businesses on purpose in order to finance firearms transactions with an arms dealer named Nikos Thomopolis ( Paul Guilfoyle) and is discreetly using Cain as the front man for his operations. Axel has Bogomil's daughter Jan (Alice Adair) use her connections as an insurance agent to find out about Dent's financial dealings. He first finds out that the ammunition fired at one of the robberies was made by a gunsmith for Charles Cain ( Dean Stockwell), the manager of a gun club owned by Dent. Posing as an undercover FBI agent to get past Lutz with the aid of Detective Jeffrey Friedman ( Paul Reiser), Axel soon makes the connection between the robberies and Dent. After hearing about the shooting on a news report, Axel Foley ( Eddie Murphy) secretly abandons his current undercover duties and immediately flies out to Beverly Hills to help find out who shot Bogomil, finding Taggart and Rosewood all too happy to assist him. On the way home, Bogomil is shot and injured by Karla Fry ( Brigitte Nielsen), the chief enforcer of Maxwell Dent ( Jürgen Prochnow), who is secretly the mastermind behind the Alphabet Crimes. Lutz also punishes Taggart and Rosewood by placing them on traffic duty. Furious when Rosewood calls the FBI to help solve the case, Lutz holds Bogomil responsible as commanding officer and suspends him, despite Bogomil's efforts to convince the chief that Rosewood was only following a hunch. Complicating matters is the new "political" state of the Beverly Hills Police Department, headed by incompetent, egotistical and verbally abusive new police chief Harold Lutz ( Allen Garfield), who is doing everything he can to stay on Mayor Ted Egan's ( Robert Ridgely) good side.

#BEVERLY HILLS COP SERIES#
Beverly Hills Police Captain Andrew Bogomil ( Ronny Cox), Detective Billy Rosewood ( Judge Reinhold), and Sergeant John Taggart ( John Ashton) are trying to figure out who is behind the "Alphabet Crimes", a series of mostly high-end-store robberies distinguished by their monogrammed envelopes with an alphabetical sequence the assailants leave behind.
