Training Day

It's time.

Hey there...

...good morning. How are you today?

Hey. What are you doing up?

Moo.

Is that Daddy?

Hey there, cowgirl.

She's a little feisty today.

Babies should be sleeping.

"I'm too hungry for my own good." Yes.

I gotta get ready.

Wrong day to be forgetting stuff.

You know how lucky you are. Don't screw this up.

All right! Jesus.

- She go back to sleep? - Yes. Ate like a pig.

I know I'm lucky. I ace this job, the department's wide open.

Get my own division someday. You should see their houses.

Hello?

Well, yes.

Don't worry, I will.

He's right here. It's Alonzo.

- Hello. - Hoyt?

Yes, sir.

- Going to roll call? - I'm leaving now.

- Hoyt? - Yes, sir?

- Fairies go to roll call. We don't. - Good to know.

There's a coffee shop on 7th. Be there at 10.

Be in comfortable shoes. Got a backup gun?

- Only the standard issue Beretta. - Bring it. Cuffs too.

Maybe we'll do some business. We're aggressive.

I know. That's why I signed up. I want to thank you for this--

What's wrong?

Feels like football tryouts.

I wish it was tomorrow so I'd know if I made the squad.

Listen, it's not tomorrow, it's today.

- I know it's gonna work out. - You do?

Good morning, sir.

No, thank you, ma'am.

Get some chow in you. My dollar.

Thank you, sir, but I ate.

Fine. Don't.

It's nice here.

May I read?

- I'm sorry, sir. I-- - Thank you.

- I'll get something to eat. - Hell, no you won't. You fucked up.

I'm trying to read. Please shut up.

I'll like not being in a hot black and white all summer.

Tell me a story, Hoyt.

- Like my story? - Not your story, a story.

Since you can't shut up so I can read, tell me a story.

- I don't know any. - You don't?

- No. - I'll tell you one.

This is a newspaper, right? It's 90 percent bullshit.

But it's entertaining. So I read it.

It entertains me. You won't let me read it, so you entertain me.

Tell me a story now. Go.

- There was a DUl stop. - A DUl stop?

Let me load up!

- A DUl? Oh, shit! - Well, I--

- Listen, we were on mid watch-- - We who?

- Oh, me and Debbie. - Who's Debbie?

Debbie Maxwell, my training officer.

- A female training officer? - Yes, sir.

Okay. All right.

Was she black, white?

She was white.

- Lick-her license? - A what?

A lick-her license. Was she a dyke, a lesbian?

- Is she any good? - She's pretty good.

- Okay, Debbie, mid watch. Go. - Right.

- It was a quiet night-- - Boom!

- What the fuck? - You never know, that's the point. Go.

It was quiet and we're rolling...

... I'm driving. This Acura, just a beautiful car...

...comes out a side street, all over the median. I hit the wailer.

He drives for 10 blocks before he pulls over.

Plates run clean, so I test and arrest.

I'm belting in our unit, and she's tossing his car.

She shows me a .38 and two loaded shotguns.

- No shit? - No shit! So...

...she calls and I'm searching. I find 500 grams of meth.

Turns out he's on bail for distribution...

...on his way to smoke his ex-partner before trial.

Boom.

- Prevented a murder. - You got him. It's amazing.

It is. That you're out there...

...with a fine bitch for a year and the best story you can 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.

In the back, bam! Code X.

- I got a wife. - You got a dick.

- You do have one, don't you? - Yes.

Your dick lines up straight. Right and left of it are pockets.

In those pockets are money. Look in either one. Pay the bill.

Grab that menu off that window for me.

Get in, it's unlocked.

Throw that in the glove box.

- This is not from the motor pool. - No. Sexy, though, huh?

- Where's the office, at division? - You're in the office.

Going up.

Today is a training day.

Give you a taste of the business.

I got 38 cases pending trial...

...63 active investigations, 250 I can't clear.

I supervise five officers. Five personalities.

Five sets of problems. You could be six.

I ain't holding no hands.

You got today to show me what you're made of.

You don't like Narcotics, get the fuck out of my car...

...get a job chasing bad checks. You hear me?

- I hear you. - Okay.

Why do you want to be a narc?

To serve my community by ridding it of dangerous drugs.

Right, but why a narc?

I want to make detective.

Stick with me, you can do it.

Unlearn that academy shit.

Don't bring that here. It'll get you killed.

I'll do anything you want me to do.

My nigger.

Roll your window down. Start there.

- Got to hear it, smell it, taste it. - Right.

How's your Español?

Learn that shit.

That will get you killed.

They plot all kinds of shit behind your back.

You gonna teach me that old-school Rodney King shit?

We don't roll like that no more.

Now we use this.

These niggers are too strong.

- Think I'm crazy? - I don't know what to think.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Good.

Good.

Been married long?

- About a year. - Yeah?

- You got a kid? - A girl, 9 months.

I got four. Boys.

You need a son, I'll hook your lady up. Can't miss.

Can we not talk about my family, all right?

I respect that.

I'm married, I got my queen too.

I remember having a young bride.

You probably fuck her face-to-face, don't you?

Let's not talk about her.

That's my point. You're so in love, it's coming right out.

The day you bring that here is the day...

...you don't make it back. Hide it deep inside of you.

The maggots out here will find it...

...use it against you and chew you up.

Never wear the ring to work.

- I'm serious about that. - Thanks.

What's here?

Transactions.

You see that guy trying to act like he's not slanging dope?

- Yeah. - That's my boy.

That's my boy, Neto.

Only 17, but he can kill.

- Works for me. - He's an informer?

Teammate. I got eyes everywhere.

He gets to make some cash. Lets me know when big things happen.

Big transactions.

- You trust him? - Damn right I do.

Sprung his mom from INS detention. Here we go. Watch this.

That's right. Come on down.

Come on. Look at it. Sexy, ain't it?

That's right.

- See the hand-to-hand? - I saw it.

- When was your last felony stop? - Two weeks ago.

You need practice.

- College kids. - They'll get an education today.

I want them grabbing glass. You take the back.

Stay off of the Rover.

Let's go.

- You little fuckers. - Run, baby, run.

Police! Let's see your hands!

Put them up! Put them up!

Put your hands on the windshield!

- Put your hands on the glass. - Driver, put it in park!

- It's a stick shift! - Throw the keys out the window!

Put your hands on your chest!

All right, fork it over.

- What? - You know.

The marijuana. Give it to me!

- Give it! - Okay! Sorry, sir.

- Shut up! Give me that pipe. - My mom gave me that pipe.

She can pick it up in jail. Give me the cigarettes too.

- Control your suspect! - Palms on the glass!

Move the hands, I'll slap you! Face against the glass! Right there!

You know this is a gang neighborhood?

- Yeah! - Then don't come down here.

I see you down here again, I'll make you walk home.

I'll let the homeboys run a train on her. Know what that is?

Yes, sir.

All right, gentlemen. Thanks for your cooperation.

Let's go. Safe your iron, son.

Shit!

I like that shit.

I like how you move. You were trained well.
