Hey! Give me a break, Michael!

A grown-ass man playing with something for kids?

Nah, it's just something I picked up for my son.

- Do you think he'll like it? - He'll definitely like it.

It's got the same dumb face as you.

Guess it's kinda cute, then.

What day is it today?

What day is it? It's the day before payday!

All you care about is getting paid. Today's the 1st of October!

I came to America ten years ago today!

A ten-year anniversary, huh?

We gotta celebrate, then!

I'm not going home when we knock off.

Let's get shit-faced, whaddya say?

I'm telling you now, I can only stay for one or two.

I'm meeting up with a girl at 9:00.

She wants to celebrate me too!

I really envy you.

We just did a graveyard shift,

but you're still up for partying with your girlfriend.

That's the problem with you.

I'm going out with a girl, not starting another shift.

How could I possibly be tired?

Wait, something seems off.

Billy, take a look out front.

Looks like something big's going down.

This car 17 calling dispatch.

We've spotted a large truck that looks stripped.

Location is Sector H, Laurieton Road.

We'll be in touch when we've got something. Over.

Oh, man... What a mess!

This one's a shoo-in for the Guinness Book of Records.

The guys who pulled this off are crazy.

It's like they were opening up a can.

Hey Billy, be careful.

Michael, over here.

Boss...

D-Don't shoot me! I'll give you whatever you want!

For the love of God, don't shoot!

Please! Boss!

Boss... Please...!

Easy now.

We're the police.

Oh... Police, is it?

This sure is a safe city you've got here.

I was only...stopping at a red light, and now look at me!

Oh, no!

My TVs...

No... Where're my computers?

Ah, shit...!

My truck is totaled.

This time I'm really done for...

The hell's wrong with you, stopping at a red light in the Bronx?!

Where're you from, buddy?

Texas!

Oh... That figures then...

Welcome to New York.

Hey! You're not taking him drinking too, are you?

How can I keep something so valuable in the car?

This is New York City, the Bronx!

C'mon! C'mon! Lemme play first! Later on I'll treat you...

Hey! You ready yet, Heavyset?

- Ready. - If you're ready, let's move!

Watch me flip that bar upside down!

I'm gonna hit the can.

Another round for my two friends!

You got it!

Heavyset, shut the door.

This is a robbery!

Faggot, guard the backdoor!

Everyone over to the pinball machines!

Now! Move it! Hurry up!

All your valuables: watches, rings, necklaces...

Take 'em all out!

Hurry up! Over there!

You wanna die?!

You old bastard... Get over there!

Why are you so slow?!

Go to hell!

Hurry, take it off now.

I don't want you still screwing about when I come over!

How much longer?!

Almost done.

You're pretty quick...

Faggot, wait for him over there!

Billy, get down!

Michael! How you doing?

Go... go after 'em...

Charlie! Call 9-1-1 and get an ambulance. Hurry!

Nothing...

- Buddy... - He went to the pier.

Thanks.

I could've killed you, guy!

What is it?

You've got five seconds to get away from the boat!

C'mon!

Untie the rope!

Hey, buddy. Let me borrow whichever boat's the fastest.

Who're you?!

Police! Hurry and give me the keys.

You think you're police so you own the place--

I said give me the keys.

- Here. - Which boat is it?!

There, that one over there.

Get back onshore now! The harbor unit will take care of him!

- But he killed Michael! - Billy, this is an order!

Hey, Billy! Come back!

Fucking Chinaman!

Officer 1-4-1-2 calling Aviation 19. Officer 1-4-1-2 calling Aviation 19.

This is Aviation 19, copy that. Over.

I'm currently in pursuit of a suspect.

I'm in the speedboat below you.

Please fly lower and stay close to me. Over.

This is Aviation 19, roger that. Over.

Fly in even closer and throw down a rope!

One, two, three. Up!

What the hell?

Disobeying a superior's orders is saying they're useless!

But he killed my partner.

No matter the reason, you had no right to cause such a shitshow at the harbor!

Captain, let me explain.

Whenever an officer is killed, I also get mad,

but you can't take revenge like this!

The mayor's already demanded a report from the commissioner explaining this mess.

Someone's gotta take the fall for this, if not you, then it's me!

But I had no choice.

“Had no choice”?

You could've stepped aside, and left it to the harbor unit.

But you had to be the hero!

"Billy Wong, super cop"!

You're back on the beat as a PC!

- But, Captain-- - But what?! No more “buts”!

My decision is final!

If you get the urge to be a hero again, I suggest you think twice before you do it.

Get outta here!

We've all got your back.

Thanks.

That's a pretty nice suit, Gallon sir.

Swanky, eh?

To play a guest, gotta look like a guest.

Hey, I heard about your incident from a few days ago.

Geez! What's with you and putting your life on the line?

Word sure gets around quick.

Well, I've gotta be in the know.

If I didn't bring my A game, how could I partner up with you?

So why are you here?

Same old song and dance.

It's gone to shit either way.

How shit is it?

This bastard was pimping out some poor girl.

I arrested him, and roughed him up a bit while I was at it.

And then he cried police brutality.

I'm sorry, please excuse me a moment.

That's right.

Then the papers tore you a new one.

Please help yourself.

Tore me a new one all the way to the commissioner.

That's why you--

Aha! Let me guess...

You two must be policemen.

Do we really look that rough?

You're not too bad. Your friend needs a bit of work though.

You can tell just by looking at him.

Are you allowed to drink when on duty?

Let me bring you two something to drink.

We're fine.

How about this, we'll take out for a drink when we finish our shift, OK?

Is that so?

That's not a bad idea at all.

Um... I'm sorry, please excuse me a moment.

Help yourselves, gentlemen.

Hey, send her over to me if it doesn't work out.

If this is just work, keep your distance, kid.

If you talk to Miss Laura again, I'll grind your bones into dust.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

The clothes we're seeing tonight are all from a famous designer.

His name's Benny Gallo.

He used to be some kind of karate champion.

You gotta keep your cool. This guy's the real deal.

What's a guy like that doing at a fashion show?

You need to get out more.

Shapiro could have the army here as his daughter's security if he wanted.

Didn't you know? He owns half of Manhattan.

If I wasn't busy, I'd love to teach that Benny some manners.

Ladies and gentlemen.

The Shapiro Company is honored to present,
