In a hot black and white all summer.
Tell me a story, hoyt.
Like, my story?
No, not your story. A story.
Since you can't keep your mouth shut
Long enough for me to read my paper,
Tell me a story.
I don't think i know any stories.
You don't know any stories?
All right, I'll tell you a story.
This is a newspaper, right?
It's 90% bullshit, but it's entertaining.
That's why I read it, because it entertains me.
You won't let me read it, so you entertain me
With your bullshit. Tell me a story right now. Go.
Well, there was a d.U.I. Stop--
A d.U.I. Stop? Well, let me load up my guns.
A d.U.I.?! Oh, shit!
Listen, all right? It's good.
We were on mid-Watch--

Yes, sir.
Ah, ok. Ok. All right. All right.

Ok. Pretty good debbie, mid-Watch. Go.
All right. So it was a real quiet night--
Boom!
Ha ha! You never know. That's the point. Go.
All right, well, it was a quiet night.
We're rolling on vanowen. I'm drivin'.
This acura, just a beautiful car,
Comes out a side street,
All over the median. In excess.
I light it up, hit the wailer.
Guy drives on like I'm invisible
For 10 blocks before he pulls over.
All right? Plates run clean,
So I field test and arrest.
And I'm belting him in our unit,
And debbie's tossing his car.
She calls me over to the vehicle
And shows me a snub .38 and 2 shotguns
Fully loaded and locked.
No shit?
No shit. So, uh, she calls our supervisor
And I keep searchin'.
I find 500 grams of meth in the dash.
Turns out this d.U.I.
Is on bail for distribution.
He's on his way to smoke his ex-Partner
Before trial.
Boom.
We prevented a murder.
You go him. That's amazing.
It is.
That you could be out there with a fine bitch for a year,
And the most entertaining story that you can come up with
To tell me is a drunk stop.
But I don't believe you.
You tapped that ass, didn't you?
Tell the truth. You know you tapped that ass.
You put her in the backseat. Bam! Code x.
Look, man, I got a wife.
You got a dick.
You do have a dick, don't you?
Yes.
Ok, your dick lines up
Straight like that, right?
To the right of it and to the left of it
Are pockets, right? In those pockets are money.
Look in either one of 'em, pay the bill.
Hey, grab that menu off that window for me,
All right?
Get in. It's unlocked.
Just throw that in the glove box.
This car is not from the motor pool.
No, it's not. Sexy, though, isn't it?
So where's the office? Back at division?
You're in the office, baby.
Goin' up.
Today's a training day, officer hoyt.
Show you around.
Give you a taste of the business, you know?
I got 38 cases pending trials,
63 in active investigation,
Another 250 on the log i can't clear.
I supervise 5 officers.
That's 5 different personalities.
5 sets of problems.
You could be number 6 if you act right.
But I ain't holdin' no hands, you understand?
I ain't baby-Sittin'. You got today
And today only to show me who
And what you're made of.
You don't like narcotics,
Get the fuck out of my car,
Go back to the office,
Get a nice, pussy desk job, you know?
Chasin' bad checks or something. You hear me?
I hear you. Ok.
Why do you wanna be a narc?
I want to, um, serve my community
By ridding it of dangerous drugs.
Right. Right. But why do you wanna be a narc?
Ha ha ha. Uh, I want to make detective.
There you go. You can do it.
Stick with me. You can do it.

To have a pretty young bride.
You probably fuck her
Face to face, don't you?
All right, man.
Let's just not talk about my wife, all right?
Yeah, that's my point, you see?
You're so in love,
The shit's comin' out of your eyes.
The day you bring your old lady to the office
Is the day that you don't make it back home.
You gotta hide that love deep inside you, you understand?
Otherwise, these maggots out here on the street,
They'll find it. They'll use it against you,
And they will chew you up...
Never wear that wedding ring to work.
I'm serious about that.
All right. All right. Thanks.

All the stems in it? See how immature it is?
That's classic brick-Pack mexican.
That's garbage.
Let me see. Gimme.
Yeah, it's old, too.
Shit's probably from last year.
To be truly effective,
A good narcotics agent must know and love narcotics.
In fact, a good narcotics agent
Should have narcotics in his blood.
[Laughs] what...
What, are you gonna smoke that?
Nope, you are.
[Laughs] hell if I am.
Yeah? Yeah? You're not?
No.
Why, you a mormon or somethin'?
You're a jesus freak?

I can't do that. Smoke it.
This ain't a test. Just take a hit.
No, man, listen. I became a cop
To stop people from usin'...
Yeah, yeah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
It's not a review board and it ain't cocaine.
Take a hit. No, man.
[Tires screech]
Jesus christ.
Yeah, right.
If I was a dealer,
You'd be dead by now, motherfucker.
You turn shit down on the street,
And the chief brings your wife
A crisply folded flag.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Talkin' about-- You know what?
I don't want you in my unit,
And I don't want you in my division.
Get the fuck out of my car.
Go back to the valley, rookie.

Oh, shit.
Shit. Boom!
Why did you do this to me?
Ah, you're an adult, man. Shit.
Nobody told you to smoke that.
You made the decision. Live with your decision.
Ain't like I put a gun to your head.
[Laughs]
Jake: shit, man.
Oh, man. Shit.

I can't do a thing for you.
It's your mess. You clean it up.
Don't be callin' me.
Hey... [clears throat]
Here's a joke, boy.
A man walks out of his house on his way to work,
Sees this snail lying on his porch.
So he picks it up, chucks it over the roof
Into the backyard.
Snail bounces off a rock,
Busts its shell up all to shit,
Lands in the grass.
Hmm? Snail lies there dyin'.
[Pager buzzes]
[Pager off]
But the snail doesn't die.
And then after a while, it can crawl again.
And one day the snail up and heads back
To the front of the house.
And finally, after, oh, about a year,
The little guy crawls back on the porch.
Right then the man walks out of his house
On his way to work. He sees this snail again.
So he looks at it, and he says...
"What the fuck's your problem?!"
That's not funny. That's not funny.
What you laughin' for then,
If it ain't funny?
I don't know, man. I--
Hey, hey! You figure that joke out,
You'll figure the streets out.
Shit, there ain't nothin' to figure out.
That's just some senseless bullshit.
Don't listen to him.
Yeah, well, i--
I already figured 'em out.
Oh, yeah? Oh, really?
Yeah.
You already figured the streets out?
Yeah, well, it's--
It's all about smiles and cries.
Put the drink down, man.
This motherfucker's out of his mind.
Hey, hold on, alonzo. Hold on, hold on.
Smiles and cries. Smiles and cries.
I hear you.
Yeah, you gotta--
You gotta control your smiles and cries,
Because that's all you have,
And nobody can take that away from you.
Oh, shit.
What you think, dog? Hmm?
Think this greenhorn can handle undercover?
You were just like him.
What?
Same silly-Ass look and everything.
Savin' the god damn world!
Yeah. Yeah!
Yeah, now that's some smiles and cries
For your ass.
Yeah. Shit lasted about a week.
[Chuckles] yeah.
I gotta get back to the office.
Thanks for the snort, dog.
Always good to see you, brother.
Yeah. Yes, sir!
Mm-Hmm. What you doin' later on?
Stay in the house, save some cheddar.
I'm less than a year away from my dream.
Philippine islands, here I come,
And I ain't never comin' back!
That's right. Let me go with you.
You're invited. Aaugh!
Hey.
Open your eyes, man, you'll feel a lot better.
Boom! Come on, man, sit your ass up.

A'ight. Don't shoot nobody.
Why don't you get that beer in you, man?
That'll give you ballast.
Oh, no. For real.

Calm down. Calm down, all right? Are you ok?
No, I'm not ok. Look at my nose, man!
It's just a little nosebleed.
Just put a little ice on it, you're gonna be fine.
What are you doin' out here anyway? Huh?
These pieces of shit, they probably got aids,
You know? Why are you not in school?
I was just goin' to a ditch party--
You almost became a part of the ditch party.
Now, you say your cousins from where?

These guys should be off the streets.
You hear that, homey?
You wanna go home, or you wanna go to jail, huh?
What you think?!
Ahh. Got room for you at the booty house.
You ever been to the booty house?
Huh?
Big boys have you grab your ankles, man.
Suck my dick, bitch! I know people!
That's how it starts.
What about you, my man? What you got?
You ain't got nothin'?
No, man. You sure?
Yeah, I'm sure.
Where's your horn?
I ain't got no horn.
No? Uh-Uh.
You got money, though.
Aw, you lied to me.
You lied to me.
Lucky I don't make you eat that, dog.
Stand up, you. Stand up.
Stand the fuck up!
Yeah. Oh, shit, huh?! Huh? Huh?
Turn around, sucker.
Turn around.
So you like raping young girls, huh?
Hmm? You like to rape young girls?
That's your m.O.? No, no...
That's what you like, isn't it?
You like to rape young girls.
That's what you like to do, right?
Don't lie to me.
You told me to "suck your dick, bitch."
Isn't that what you said to me?
Look at me.
You wanted me to suck your dick.
That's what you said, right?
That what you said? Hmm?
Didn't you say, "suck my dick, bitch"?
Don't lie to me. That's what--You keep telling me,
I'm a liar. You didn't say,
"Suck my dick, bitch"?
That's not what you said to me?
So I'm lyin'? Am I lyin'?
No. Please. Please!
Where is it? I can't even find it.
Let me see. Pull your pants down.
Pull 'em down.
Which nut you want?
I'll leave you one nut. Which one you want?
Make a decision. Make a decision.
All right, all right.
Put your hands on your head.
Close your eyes.
Uhh!
You're lucky I have more pressing business.
I'd cut your fuckin' dick off
And stick it right up that little funky ass of yours,
Bitch!
Damn, I'm thirsty!
I want a beer. What about you?
You want a beer?
I'm gonna leave you 3 to it, man.
Pussy-Ass bitch!
When I see you again, I'm gonna fuck your shit up, bitch!
You ain't gonna see shit comin', man!
I'll sneak up behind you
Like a motherfuckin' ninja, man.

[Sirens]
That girl's 14.
She all woman, though, man.
You tax that ass for days, man.
Yeah, keep walkin', bitch! Unh!
You want a beer?
No, I don't want a beer, man.
No? You mad?
[Train whistle blares]
You wanna book that 60 bucks, huh?
Here. Go ahead.
Book it into evidence, man.
Where are your suspects, though?
You gotta go back and get the suspects.
I don't know where they are. You let 'em go.
Oh, I let 'em go.
Yeah, you let 'em go. They're--
Hey, man, you want to run and gun, man,
Stay in patrol, ok? This is investigations,
A'ight?
Let the garbage men handle the garbage.
We're professional anglers, ok?
We go after the big fish.
Chasin' them monkey-Strung
Crackhead motherfuckers anyway! You know,
They'd have killed you without hesitating.
That's why they belong in prison.
For what? They got beat down,
They lost their rock, they lost their money.
Themesesfrom hillside probably gonna smoke 'em.
I mean, jesus, what more you want?
I want justice.
Is that not justice?
That's street justice.
What's wrong with street justice?
Just let the animals wipe themselves out.
God willing! Fuck 'em,
And everybody who looks like 'em.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.
The good guys, they die first, right?
The schoolkids and moms, family men...
They the ones catch the stray bullets
In the noodle.
To protect the sheep, you gotta catch the wolf,
And it takes a wolf to catch a wolf.
You understand?
What!?
I said you protect the sheep
By killin' the motherfuckin' wolves.
No, you didn't hear me. You listenin',
But you didn't hear me.
All right, whatever.
Yeah, whatever. Whatever the fuck ever.
Well, let me ask you this.
When do you lock anybody up?
I mean, it seems you're pretty busy keeping people out.
What the fuck you talkin' about?!
You don't know what you're talkin' about, betty boop!
Got nothin' but shit between your ears.
Shit, they build jails 'cause of me!
Judges have handed out over 15,000 man-Years
Of incarceration time based on my investigations, ok?
My record speaks for itself.
How many felons have you collared?
Huh?
Yeah, I rest my case.
Oh, look, man, I'm not smoking crack, all right?
Glad to hear that. Just put it in the glove box.
Put the $60 in there, too.
That'll come in handy later on.
We'll use it like--Like a credit card or something.
Hey, no matter what I say, you did the right thing.
Reminds me of when I was out there
Chasin' down bad guys, rockin' their world.
That was some pretty amazing shit you did back there, hoyt.
[Scoffs] thanks.
Hey, I noticed you applied that, uh,
That choke hold, though, huh?
I thought that was a no-No procedure, boy.
I was getting my ass kicked.
And you did what you had to do, right?
You did what you had to do.

[Shouting]
Jake: god damn it, man,
That was not cool, all right? That was not cool at all,
Where you're opening fire in the middle of a neighborhood.
Shit, man, where was the sandman, huh?
I mean, what the hell were you doing back there?
I was checking for narcotics activity, you know,
Drugs, guns, baggies, you know.
Yeah, cash!
Speak on it, son.
Man, she's screaming about money, all right.
Oh, that bitch is talking shit!
She's screaming about trying to get us killed.
Whatever, all right, man?
I'm gonna be on the 6:00 news
In an orange jumpsuit and handcuffs
Because of you, ok, man.
With the scandals and what not,
It is open season on misconduct.
They will nail us to the wall.
Pull over.
On the highway? Pull over.
Shit!
What?
Listen,
You're in a privileged position to learn a thing or two.
Keep your mouth shut and your eyes open.
You say you're serious
About doing some good in the real world,
Well, this is the place to learn.
But if this kind of shit shakes you up,
Maybe you ought to go back to your division, you know?
Cry to the watch commander
To give you a nice job lighting flares
Or measuring car wrecks.
You gotta decide whether you're a wolf...
Or a sheep.
Get your ink
Or...
Go give him a hand.
[Car engine starts]
Jake: what are we doing going in here, man?
We'll get killed coming in here.
Ah, you know about this place, huh?
Yeah, it's the jungle, right?
That's right.
They say don't come in here
With anything less than a platoon.
That's right.
That's the heart of it, right here.
Jungle damu headquarters.
Stoners...
Yeah, a lot of murder investigations
Lead right here.
One way in, one way out.
Thought we were gonna get something to eat?
Hey, don't ever come up here without me,
You hear me?
I'm serious. For your safety.
[Rap music playing]
How come you got the golden pass?
Because I treat them fair.
They know if they cross the line,
I'm taxin' that ass.
What's that up there?
They're flipping pigeons.
They wanna let everybody know I'm here.
One time, what's up, bone?
What's up, alonzo?

[Indistinct chatter]
Good to see you, gents.
That's my new guy. He works on my squad.
Jake hoyt. Captain lou jacobs.
You ever need to talk to the feds,
You talk to him first. This is a good man.
He can take your back for you.
Pleased to meet you, sir.
Stan gursky over here--
He runs the d.A. Shooting team.
You think about him before you pull the trigger,
Because if you're wrong,
He'll snatch your fuckin' nuts out, use 'em for dice.
[All laughing]
Detective doug rosselli right here--
Handles high-Dollar theft cases
For the french poodle crowd.
You know, if you lose a picasso,
He'll find it for you or die tryin'.
He's a good man.
Pleased to meet you.
Good man.
Should i--
Boom. Shoo.
Get yourself a baseball steak or something.
All right, gents.
Lou: I don't know why I'm meeting you.
I don't talk to dead men.
I ain't dead yet.
Fuckin' prick.
Excuse me.
Why the long face, doug, huh?
Feds seize your house or somethin'?
Fuck yourself, alonzo.
Lou: tell him the story.
Come on, tell the story.
Oh, you think it's so funny, you tell it.
No, no. It's your story. You tell it.
[Stan laughs]
Asshole.
Doug: all right, all right, all right.
There's this... serial burglar, and, uh,
Chasin' him for 12 months.
A real slickster, gave up nothing.
Captain's riding my ass the entire time.
Sentencing was today.
Lou: judge is female.
That's right. Landers.
Yeah, I know landers. She's a sharp lady.
[All laughing]
No?
Doug: so before the hearing,
Guy gets hold of some peanut butter,
Packs his ass crack with it...
What?
Then he's standing tall before the bench,
And he's waitin' to give his statement.
So he shoves his hand down his pants,
Comes out with a gob of extra-Chunky jif.
[All laughing]
Bailiffs won't come near him.
[All laughing]
Now he's--Now he's lookin' the judge right in the eyes
And licks his fingers clean.
Holy shit.
So the judge says, uh,
"Oh, this poor man's insane. He can't go to prison."
Orders him to psychiatric.
She fell for it.
Yeah. That's because she's so fuckin' smart.
Time she found out it was sandwich spread,
The order was signed, the guy's been transferred.
[All laughing]
Proceedings closed.
Yeah, closed.
That prick will do 6 months in the puzzle factory,
Then they'll call him normal and let him loose.
Never, ever do a day in prison.
Yeah, give him credit, though.
Shit, he worked the system,
Deserves his freedom.
Yeah? Think so?
Or not.
I'll tell you what.
I'm gonna find this guy on the street...
And I'm gonna do him.
You better take his bullets from him, stan.
Shit.
Doug: ahh...
Alonzo...
Heard you had an expensive weekend in vegas.
How did you ever screw up so bad?
Nothin'. It's nothin'. Forget it.
You know, I didn't know. It's not my town.
I'm not omniscient.
Lou: the russians don't care if you have a badge.
They'll whack you.
You ought to hop a jet out of here.
Why?
It's an easy fix.
How?
I'll just cash in an account.
Stan: oh, yeah? Yeah.
Whose?
One of my old ones. My first one.
It's not a problem. Look, the guy's
A high-Security risk anyway.
If I'm not around, who's gonna keep him
Off the radar, you?
I'm just taxin' him, that's all.
Ok?
[Sighs]
Well, it's your call.
I do not want you to dick this up.
I do not want to see you on the front page
Like those other assholes.
Yeah, I understand.
Who's drivin'?
Uh, me.
Grey mercedes.
Ok.
Get the car.
All right. All right.
Uh, what, the black monte carlo there
With the back windows shot out.
Alonzo: hey, yeah, it's me.
Listen, we got the green light.
Right. That's right.
I want you to fax a copy of the warrant
To the clerk, get her to get the judge
To sign it, and I want you and paul
To bring it to me at location one.
You got that? Now, get a hold of jeff,
Tell him to pick up some tools--
Picks and shovels.
Make sure he signs 'em out from maintenance.
That's right. Copy?
That's right. All right, hurry up.
Later.
So how much cash was in that jacket?
40 gs.
What's-- What's that for?
[Laughs]
You really want to know?
Yeah, I really want to know.
Yeah...
There's nothin' free in this world, jake.
Not even arrest warrants.
Shit, man. I didn't want to know.
Yo, homes. Check this motherfucker out.
Nice suit, mark.
Tim: beautiful suit.
Mark: yeah, fuck you guys.
All right. Nice, nice, nice.
What's up, alonzo?
You got the picks and shovels?
They're in the truck.
You're gonna dig a ditch?
No, you are.
That's a nice suit you got on there.
Jeff: that's what I said.
[Laughs]
What up, killer?
I can't call it. What's up with you?
I've been hearing a lot of shit
Out here on these streets, man. You all right?
It's all good. I talked to the 3 wise men.
Everything is lovely.
Shit, if you say we can get away with it,
I'm with you. Know what I'm sayin'?
Who the fuck is this?
Jake hoyt. It's my first day in the unit.
I'm from valley patrol.
You a long way from starbucks, homey.
[All chuckling]
Now, why the fuck is he in on this?
Gotta get his cherry popped sometime.
Look, man, stay the fuck out of my way, all right?
It's just for the big dogs. Feel me?
Here it is, dog.
It's all good and legit.
Signed by the judge, ok?
Thanks to the sandman. Now listen up.
Safety is first.
He gives us shit--Boom, we're givin' him lead.
Let's do this right so we can all go home
And do the wife or the girlfriend thing,
All right?
Let's suit up, ladies. Time to punch in.
[Radio beeps]
[Beep beep]
Freeze up!
Down on the floor! Get down, motherfucker!
What are you clowns doing here?
Jeff: hey, new guy, watch him.
If he moves, cap his ass!
Yeah, I'm on him.
Do you know what you're doin', son?
Paul: drop what's in your hands before zero.

Both: 4, 3, 2...
Roger: boom.
Give me a reason.
[Scoffs]
Alonzo's gonna have y'all's ass.
What's up, roger?
What's going down, brother?
Oh, it's all good, baby.
It's all good.
That's for you.
What am I supposed to do with this, wipe my ass?
Bad news, dog.
You don't mind if I have some of
Your $300-A-Glass shit there, will you?
Please.
Had lunch with the wise men today.
They said you got to render unto caesar.
Fuckin' vampires want my pension?
Nah, it's nothin' like that.
Ahh...
Hmm.
They just wanna tax you a little bit.
You know, they got their boats
And mistresses and, you know,
House payments.
Nothin' I can do about it, you know?
They're making me do it.
I'm just a lowly civil servant.
Roger: ahh, you're their bitch.
What happens to me?
I got your back, bro.
I promised you you'd never have to
Go back to prison.
You ain't even gonna miss what we take.
I'm sorry. Orders is orders, dog.
No you ain't, cop.
Tim, jeff, jake,
We're gonna work in the kitchen.
Grab the tools. Give me the bitch.
You guys hold him down.
Who's payin' for my floor?
Alonzo: the city.

Don't worry about it. You'll see.
Hey, grab that hammer right there.
Knock this lock off.

That's a quarter million dollars you holding
Right there in your hand.
Over 4 million in here.
First day on the job,
You hit a $3 million seizure.
Wait, you said 4.
Ah, taxation without representation, brother.
Nothing's free in this world,
You lucky first-Day motherfucker.
Buy your wife a minivan with that.
Put the kids through college.
Give me that bag.
No, you know.
I mean, the only checks i cash say, uh,
"L.A.P.D." On 'em, right?
[All laughing]
Somebody didn't sleep through ethics, did they?
Alonzo: what's the matter?
You don't want a piece of this, huh?
Well, i...
No, right?
Not like this. I mean...no.
[Laughs]
No?
Alonzo: right, right, ok.
First time. You're not comfortable.
I'll hold it for you, ok?
What about you, are you comfortable?
Oh, I'm comfortable.
How's your comfort level?
I'm very comfortable.
Alonzo: come on, let's wrap this up.
Uh, i--
Don't touch a thing.
Evidence.
That's it.
Alonzo, what are those assholes thinkin'?
That I'm really gonna stand still
And let 'em horsefuck me?
Could put you out of your misery.
[Laughs]
[All laughing]
Hey, jake, here.
Hey, come sit down. Sit down. Right here.
I'll tell you a secret.
When you kill someone on duty...
They have to be your slave...
In the afterlife.
[Laughing]

Do yourself a favor. Hit him.
Are you serious?
Hey, close the blinds.

You gotta get it done yourself.
Holy shit!
[Inhaling]
Come on, breathe.
Breathe. There you go.
Just let it go.
Breathe, dog.
[Roger breathing slower]
[Stops breathing]
Yeah, he's finished.
Where's the stinger?
It's right here.

You took fire comin' through the door.
[Laughing] I need some time off, but...
Ok, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, ok?

It'd be my pleasure to put a hydrashock in that melon.
Hey, hey, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Paul: no, but I'm gonna be cool.
Now drop the fuckin' gun now!
You want to shoot me, paul, go ahead,
But I'm takin' him with me.
I'm goin', alonzo.
This motherfucker's a fed, man.
No, he ain't no fed. He's just a choir boy
With a heart that got the drop on all you fools.
Listen, everybody just take a deep breath,
And just diffuse this thing. You hear me, jake?
You can't pull this shit on me, man.
I didn't sign up for this.
Ok, ok. I know you're angry.
Everybody, just put your guns down.
Hell, no.
Mark: no, no, no, no...
Choir boy first.
Hey, listen to me. Put the guns down!
That's an order. Put 'em down!
[Praying]
Use your ears and you hear me, jake.
Sometime we gotta take this shit all the way.
It's not like we do this every day, all right?
It's just the nature of the business.
Now, no one will ever ask you again
To pull the trigger if you don't want to, all right?
Hey, mark, where are you transferring to?
S.I.S.
Detective.
You give me 18 months,
I give you a career.
We make the big seizures, jake.
We make the big arrests.
But if you're in my unit,
You gotta be in it all the way
Or not at all, you understand me?
I mean, I thought you were man enough
To handle this shit. I guess I was wrong.
5 proven, decorated officers
Says that you're the shooter, ok?
The investigators are gonna want to pull
A tube of your blood to check for intoxicants.
What are they gonna find, jake? Do the math.
You been smokin' p.C.P. All day, haven't you?
Huh? Remember?
You've been plannin' this all day.
I've been plannin' it all week, son.
You talk that crazy shit, I'll make sure your blood
Gets to the lab.
You want to walk your little baby nuts around the block,
You won't make it to the corner,
But if you're cool-- Ifyou're cool--
You're a hero.
You're a virgin shooter above suspicion.
Paul: alonzo, there's 2 shots left
In that other stinger.
We need to just kill your boy right now,
And say roger got him comin' through the door.
No, we ain't killin' nobody.
This is a good man right here.
He's got the magic eye. I can feel it.
Just had a little freak out, that's all.
We all been there.
No, I say he's cool.
And I say nobody's gonna hurt him.
But you do have a decision to make, jake.
'Cause in about 10 seconds,
This place is gonna be overrun with blue suits.
So why don't you please go outside,
Clear your head...
Or shoot me.
[Sighs]
[Sirens approaching]
Jake: hey, paul.
You're dead, motherfucker!
You hear me? You're fuckin' dead!
Yeah. [Laughs]
Ha, that's right. Well, lay off that rice.
All right.
Yeah, just make sure that bathtub is clean, homey.
All right?
All right. Later.
You all right?
It behooves you not to dick around
On this one.
Justifiable homicide in the line of duty, ok?
Now what happened--
What happened was murder...
And armed robbery.
Oh, wait. We--We had badges, so it's different?
Oh, son, open your eyes. Can't you see? Huh?
That man was your friend,
And you killed him like a fly.
[Laughs] come on. My friend, huh?
Yeah. Tell me why.
Because he knows my first name?
Son, this is the game. I'm playin' his ass.
That's my job. That's your job.
Roger sold dope to kids.
The world is a better place without him.
Hey, this man was the biggest major violator
In los angeles.
I watched that cocksucker operate with impunity
For over 10 years, and now I got him.
This shit's chess. It ain't checkers.
What you think we gonna do?
We gonna--We gonna roll up in a black-And-White, huh?
Slap the cuffs on him. "You're under arrest."
That's a high roller, dog.
Take the money.
Hey, man, I already told you, I'm not gonna take that.
I'mnotgonna take that.
Ok, don't. Just burn it, barbecue it,
Fish fry it. I don't give a fuck,
But the boys'll feel better about it.
Fucktheir feelings.
Jake, you're not makin' 'em feel
Like you're part of the team.
The team?
You guys are fuckin' insane.
All right. I'll go back to the valley.
I'll cut parking tickets, you know?
God.
It--It can't be like this.
It is this way, man.
I'm sorry I exposed you to it, but it is.
It's ugly, but it's necessary.
I became a cop to put away drug dealers,
The poisoners, the criminals, not to be one.
You sound just like me,
And I know what you're going through.
I know what you're feeling.
You're scared.
I'm not scared.
Yes, you are. You're terrified.
Everybody goes through that the first time.
I went through it.
The sooner you can match what's in your head
With what's goin' on in the real world,
The better you're gonna feel.
In this business,
You gotta have a little dirt on you
For anybody to trust you,
And when all this is behind you,
There's gonna be a whole other world
That opens up for you.
I walk a higher path, son.
I can give you the keys to all the doors.
What are you talking about?
My guys are pretty good, but they're not leaders.
They're clowns. You're a leader.
You want my job? You got it.
You want to lock up poisoners?
This is the best place to do it.
But you gotta just, you know, take your time.
You make detective. You play the game.
You grow wise, and then you can change things,
But you gotta change 'em from the inside, son.
Let's go downtown to the station.
You talk to my guy stan,
And he'll walk you through
What you gotta say to the d.A. Guys, ok?
Alonzo: ok.
What the hell we doin' now?
An informant of mine's up in chino.
I promised I'd take care of his family for him.
I bring 'em some food, you know, stuff like that.
Got to help out the family.
Believe it or not,
I do try to do some good in the community.
It was, like, right there, right?
Just right there.
What's up, dog?
You know where you're at, fool?
What the fuck you lookin' at?
All right.
What's up, punk?
Alonzo: hey, we got some things for the family.
Kitchen's this way.
Woman on tv: we're on every day.
2nd woman on tv: every day?
Ok, tell us a little bit about that touring thing
With divas of dance 2000. That sounds exciting.
Smiley: put the shit on the counter.
Alonzo: where's the head?
Smiley: right through.
2nd woman: so you're happy?
Woman: oh, yes! [Laughs]
Now for example...
I'm gonna go to the head, ok?
I'm gonna be 2 seconds. We rollin'.
Hey, that's nice, homes.

Why don't you sit down and play one hand?
There you go.
Don't sweat it,judo.
We ain't playin' for money.
Nah. It's just we gotta roll in a second.
Alonzo's takin' a shit. Go ahead. Take a seat.
All right, I'll play one hand.

Sniper: yeah, jokers are wild.
Jokers wild.

Just like that one.
Moreno: is that right?
But see, here's where the problem comes into play.

[Neck cracks]
Dreamer: it's all there.
Smiley: sure?

Scared up a lot of cash.

And alonzo, he just snapped.

Well, turns out that russian...

Now, alonzo...
He's into the russians for a million.
How do you know that?
[Clears throat]
They gave alonzo till tonight to pay up,
But his name's still on their list, huh?
Nobody thought he could get cash that big.
Good thing he got his blood money,
'Cause there's a crew on standby.
If he don't turn up downtown with the cash
By midnight, and not a minute after...
Whew, yourvato...

You want the one in my back pocket, too?
Yeah, I would.

# One nation all gettin' down for the dollars #
# And the heat gettin' hotter #
# But a lot don't understand #
# Just the way some plan to break you #
# I done seen the whole thing go straight through #
# Hungry for it, I'm'a make you #
# Pay back what's due to me #
# Everybody gonna see #
# Look what they put upon me #
# Made me a monster, 2 steps beyond ya #
# More streets to wander #
# For which it stands for, let's get it #
# 'Cause I'm'a get mine for damn sure, come on #
# This is not america #
# Not america ? ?
# This is not america #
# Oh, this is ? ?
# This is not america #
