Officer Downe

Downe : My city's gone to hell.

I've watched it happen.

It's why I do what I do. It's what I've always done.

And I'll do it again and again and again as many times

as it takes to scrub this city clean of all the filth.

I've got my badge and I've got the will.

I am LAPD.

So let me show you how it's done.

Oh, my... Oh, my god!

Oh, yeah!

Oh, yeah! Just like that! Just like that!

- (moaning) - (buzzer)

Oh, my god, oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

I don't know how you do it.

Just keep going, and going.

I'm just doing my civic duty.

Oh, um, look, I know we don't really know each other

all that well or anything, but...

Dispatch : Confirmed, suspect is on premises.

Transmitting location.

That's me. Back to work. Thanks for the jump.

Let's do it again sometime.

Super crank!

That's what I'm calling it.

It's got a nice ring to it, right?

Yeah, this city loves its street drugs.

This is the mother of them all.

And they are gonna pay through the nose to get it.

You guys want a free taste? Huh? Forget it!

Did anybody else feel that?

Feel what?

No. No, no, no, no, no!

- Man : What the fuck is that? - Yo, Headcase, we better split!

Don't... Don't call me that, it's Harry! Not...

- (thudding) - (growling)

Man : Let's get the fuck outta here!

Headcase Harry, you're under arrest!

Fuck you!

Man : Let's get the fuck out of here!

That's assaulting a police officer.

- (pumps shotgun) - (gunshot)

- That's resisting arrest. - (gunshot)

- Headcase. - Don't call me that!

Downe : You have the right to remain silent.

Fuck you!

Anything you say or do can and will be used against you

in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney.

Take Miranda Rights and stick 'em straight up your ass, pig!

I know who you are.

That was my life's work you just trashed!

If you can't afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you.

Shut up!

Do you understand these rights as they were read to you?

Do you understand this? You know what this is?

Don't make me do it.

Stay back!

Fine.

Boom.

Man : Any scanner activity?

Man 2 : Unbelievable.

Man 3 : Holy Christ, no way anyone could have survived this.

Man : I know you're new to this detail, but don't be a fucking idiot.

Of course he didn't survive, they knew he wouldn't.

Man 2 : Hey, a little help here.

- Well, there he is. - Man : Officer Crispy.

Man 2 : All right, guys, let's load him up

and get him back to the precinct.

You're a cop.

Pow. Part of the motherfucking brotherhood.

You're one of the good guys.

You're LAPD... you're one of the good guys.

I'm a cop.

You're a cop.

That's right.

Sergeant : Officer Gable?

Inside, Gable.

You might want to calm down.

Good morning, Sergeant.

Yeah, right.

Ooh, little filly. Is that all the work you put in?

You could do better.

Stop with the dicks.

And you, yeah, go to my office...

'cause there's someone who wants to talk to you.

Gable : Uh, should I sign in first?

Now.

Gable : I was told, um, someone wanted to see me?

Officer Gable.

Chief Berringer.

Come on in. Close the door behind you.

Interesting psych profile. You like being a cop, don't you?

I mean, you take it seriously.

Gable : As a heart attack.

We have been keeping a pretty close eye on you.

And for the record, there were one or two individuals

who felt it was premature for me

to have this conversation with you.

Clearly I didn't listen to them. I went with my gut on this one.

So here you are.

Chief, am I in trouble?

- Depends on how you look at it. - I don't understand.

You understand how bad it is out there?

While you're chasing jaywalkers down the 3rd Street Promenade

and making your chicken-shit collars

some real heavy shit is going on right here in our city.

Do you think you're ready? I think you're ready.

Are you ready?

Damn straight.

Have you ever heard of the Fortune 500?

- (purring) - (clucking)

Lion man : Well... speak.

Harry's operation has been compromised.

Bird man : Compromised?

The LAPD sent their... beast.

They've got balls sending that kamikaze cop into our territory.

Miss Tiger : Their overconfidence is annoying.

- Lion man : Goddamn it! - (thudding)

Nobody fucks with the Fortune 500!

I want his head on our wall!

Get the fuck out of here.

Miss Tiger : Let's face it, gents,

Headcase was their opening salvo.

I bet they think it's open season on all our operations.

Lion man : We have to hit back, hard!

Bird man : This has gone way beyond the concept of deterrents.

But let us not be despondent. On the contrary, let us rejoice!

We have access to the ultimate WMD...

a pure ass-kicker, par excellence.

Lion man : What are you talking about?

- Assistant : Sir? - Get me Zen Master Flash.

Zen Master Flash :

Lion man : So...

are you sure this crazy fuck has the goods to take this on?

Miss Tiger : He's got a rep, that's for sure.

Bird man : It's more than that. He's the best.

Not to mention, he's got a ready-made army

full of bad-ass motherfuckers at his disposal.

Even if this escalates into a war, it'll be theirs, not ours.

That's good business.

Lion man : Fine. I still want his head.

Berringer : The Fortune 500

are the top tier of organized crime in this city.

Almost every freak on the streets is connected to them

in some way, shape or form.

Money from drugs, from illegal firearms,

from protection rackets, you name it.

If it's illegal, they are deep up in it.

These folks are a force of nature.

And how are you supposed to fight that?

Try not to look like a rookie.

I'll do my best, ma'am.

Berringer : And cut the ma'am shit.

- Yes, sir. - Berringer : Everyone ready?

They brought him in a few hours ago.

He's downstairs being prepped for a general recovery.

Okay then, let's go.

These technicians are part of a special division, top secret.

A lot of private funding, which means it keeps the mayor

and the city council off our ass.

What's the smell?

Oh, that... you'll learn to ignore that.

Gable : Chief? Chief!

Chief... are we talking...

I think you know exactly what we're talking about.

All the rumors you've been hearing, they're true.

- Okay. - Look, it doesn't matter.

It's no secret what's going on out there.

The grinks and the groinks,

the pest and the vermin, they're taking over.

We don't have the manpower or the resources

to properly police the streets. But you know what they say?

I don't, no.
