05x11 - Equal Protection

[bunniefuu]

JUDY: Well, well, well, Jamaal.

I used to babysit you when you
were making nothing but noise.

And now look at you!

I'm really impressed.

Thanks

He's really turned
out to be something.

He sure did, Mrs. Evans.

Yeah, we got the sex appeal.

We got a unique feel.

Now all we need's a record deal.
- Word.

Ain't that the truth.

So what are you guys
doing in the meantime?

We just started
to market ourselves.

Check these out.

LJ Mo, turn your dancing
and partying into a rapping

and disco heaven.

Disco in clubs, too.

Contact J. Evans,
plus my number.

[chuckling] I mean, that's
what it's all about, isn't it?

Dreaming.

Not giving into anything.

No matter what.

JAMAAL: Thanks for coming.

Oh, I had a good time.

You have to go so soon?

I wish I could stay, but
I gotta go back to work.

It was really nice seeing you.

All right, talk to you later.

All right.

Hey, man, throw in the badge.

You get up on stage
with us, what's up?

That's all right.

Look, I'd rather
chase the bad guys.

It's a lot less scary.

Y'all take care, OK?
ALL: All right.

Bye-bye.

See ya.

All right, fellas,
let's check it out.

All right, we're gonna check
out the record stores first.

Then maybe the clothing
stores and the shoe stores.

Yeah, that's what's happening.

JAMAAL: Yeah, man,
let's do this, 'cause

I'm ready to get stupid paid.

[ignition clicking]

Yeah, man, we gotta get busy.

Yo, yo, yo.

Don't look now, but
the man's on us.

Man, what is it they say?

Freeze?

They need a line,
'cause that's tired.

All right, get over the car.

Hey, man, what'd we do?

- We didn't do a thing.
- We didn't even do nothing.

You know what this is.

Get down!

Face down!

Where are you going?

To the record store.

Why are you going
to the record store?

To put our business
cards by the cash register.

Since when do n*gg*r*s
carry business cards?

ALL: What?
- I said get down!

What g*ng you in?

What g*ng?

We ain't in no g*ng, man.

Get your head down!

Do you hear me?

Keep your head down
and don't move!

TRAYNOR: Spread
your legs, wider!

Now what kind of weapons you
boys carrying today, huh?

JAMAAL: We're not carrying any.

FORBES: Shut up!

What's going on here?

Police business, lady,
just stay the hell out of it.

What business?
I know these boys.

I bet you do.

What, you bunnies doing the
nasty together or something?

Just get away from them.

Back off, Oprah!

Now you're interfering
with police officers

performing their duty.

I am a police officer!

That's right, read that
badge number real good,

just like I'm reading yours.

[music playing]

[theme music]

THEME SONG: (SINGING)
We never thought we'd

find a place where we belong.

Don't have to stand alone.

We'll never let you fall.

Don't need permission to
decide what you believe.

Ooh!

I said jump down on Jump Street.

I said jump down on Jump Street.

Your friends will be there
when your back is to the wall.

You'll find you need us 'cause
there's no one else to call.

When it was hopeless, a
decision's what you need.

You gotta be ready
to, be ready to jump.

Jump Street.

Well, you sure do
know how to pick 'em.

My lucky day.

FULLER: Yeah, Forbes and Traynor
are part of the most decorated

anti-g*ng unit in the city.

Yeah, and I bet they're
carrying around pillowcases

with eye holes in them, too.

And claim they
had probable cause.

Their only cause
was black skin.

FULLER: Yeah, but it's
gonna be hard to prove that.

Like the man says
about p*rn,

I know it when I see it.

I saw it.

OK, all right,
one thing at a time.

Did they use excessive force?

Given the situation,
they sure did.

You don't know what went
on before you got there.

But I know those boys.

[phone rings]

OK, all right, I wasn't there.

FULLER: All right,
about the racism?

The boys said they
call them n*gg*r*s.

OK, I wasn't there to hear that
either, but I did hear Oprah

and bunnies.

Fine.

I'll call downtown.

We'll file charges against
them for r*cist abuse.

Cap-- Captain?

I did interfere with them
before I flashed my badge.

That doesn't
excuse what they did.

No, but they may use
it for justification

in front of a review board.

All right, we'll file
the charges anyway.

Make them think
twice the next time.

Unless they're exonerated.

Then it's like they got approval
to do it whenever they want.

[sighs] Let it go.

I'll show my badge
right away next time.

Are you sure?

No.

But let it go anyway.

[phone rings]

MAC: Well?

Well, I decided not
to press anything.

What, he talked you out of it?

No, I talked me out of it.

Then what they said?

What, bunny?

Oprah?

Out of context, it
sounds so damn harmless.

I felt silly saying
it to Fuller.

I don't wanna think how dumb
it'd sound to a review board.

So now what?

So now I get to tell
Jamaal that nothing's going

to happen, all because of me.

[sighs]

It's cool.

I know what's up.

Just what my guilty conscience
needs, you understanding.

Hey, man, sometimes you
get along by going along.

Anybody who lives
around here knows that.

Yeah, but you managed to live
here and stay out of the gangs.

How'd you swing that?

Hm.

Well, see, the way
it is with gangs,

you gotta be for
one or the other.

But they seen how hard I was
getting off into music, so they

never really messed with us.

Except for the cops.

Yeah.

When they slammed
on us, we called

it Operation Sledge Hammer.

Worked out a whole song.

We're having a picnic
Saturday at Franklin Park,

and you can watch us do it.

Well, my car's being
worked on right now.

But if my mechanic works
fast enough, I will be there.

Cool.

And don't flake.

Ha ha, got you.

You still fall for that.

You still can't play no ball.

What you doing?

[laughs]

Detective Hoffs?

Yes?

I'm Wayne Harding.

I'm in charge of
the West Division

AGU, the guys who hassled you.

Oh.

I was hoping we could talk.

I don't have time listen
to any excuses right now.

Wouldn't try to make them.

There's no way to
excuse what my men did.

I would like to try to explain
it, if you'll give me a chance.

Hey, Sergeant, I'm not
going to press any charges.

That's not the issue here.

Oh?

And what exactly is the issue?

Respect, courtesy,
common decency.

OK.

Forbes and Traynor,
those are my men.

They'd just gotten a
call about three guys

sh**ting up a cr*ck
house two blocks away.

The sh**t were heading in
the same direction as your kids.

They went after those boys
because they were black.

The sh**t were black.

What can I tell you?

They made a mistake.

Mistakes are one
thing, Sergeant.

Racial slurs are another.

No argument.

Like I said, there's no excuse
for what they said to you.

They're out there
everyday, all day.

It's a w*r zone.

You know that.

And a lot of the time,
the first casualty

is consideration of others.

As far as I'm concerned,
the whole thing's over.

I know that.

I appreciate it.

But you're a fellow officer.

You say the word, I'll
suspend them both for a week.

That won't be necessary.

Adam Fuller is
lucky to have you.

You ever decide to
work gangs, you'd be

a great addition to our unit.

Thanks for your time.

Smooth, Mac, this man was so
smooth, he had me slip-sliding

all over the place.

Hey!

Could you please not do
that while I'm under here?

Sorry.

Am I gonna make this picnic?

Yeah.

The last half anyway.

All right, voila.

Battery terminal's cleaned.

Is this picnic gonna
cheer you up any?

It's not that simple.

What?

The thing that
kills me is I know I

was being hustled by that guy.
But didn't matter.

I mean, he was so good that
I was even flattered that he

offered me a job
in his unit, even

though I know he'd
have a coronary

if I ever took him up on it.

So what was the
point of the exercise?

I guess he just
wanted to hear that I

wasn't going to do anything.

You having second thoughts?

Mac, I was having second
thoughts the moment I

walked out of Fuller's office.

I just didn't know what
the hell else to do.

It's over now.

It's done.

I mean, why are you still
being bothered by it?

It's like you're working
on my car right now, right?

Nobody's gonna think
you're trying to steal it.

Nobody's gonna walk up to you,
ask you what you're doing here,

where you're from, what
guys you hang out with.

Because I'm white, right?

Exactly.

Your skin protects you, just
like my shield protects me.

I flash that thing out and,
whammo, I was free from racism.

Except the other day, I
got a little reminder what

it's like without the badge.

It scared the hell out of me.

Still not gonna
file charges, huh?

Nope.

Well, listen, if you got any
more problems with your car,

let me know, OK?

At least I know I can
help you with that.

Thanks.

[music playing]

[knocking]

[gasps]

Jamaal, my god.

Come in, come in.

Come in.

What happened to you?

It was those cops.

Same ones as the other
day, plus two more.

Just let me go,
let me go wash up.

No, no, no, no.
You have a seat right here.

I want headquarters to see
exactly what they did to you.

[groans]

They said they got
called about some,

some g*ng initiation.

They charged into us,
and before we knew it,

we was face down on the ground.

I said we ain't in no g*ng.

And then this Harding guy
calls me a lying n*gg*r.

Harding?

Are you sure that's
the name you heard?

For sure.

The other officer
called him that.

He grabbed my head.

That's when he
slammed into the mud.

He is going to be sorry.

Very sorry.

I drove the kids
to the precinct

and they filed a complaint.

Good.

Then downtown will handle it.

That's it?

Yeah, well, it's an
Internal Affairs matter now.

Excuse me.

The testimony of
four decorated cops

against a bunch of black kids?

Who do you think
they're gonna believe?

Well, you can't go off and
run a separate investigation.

I could if you'd
pull some strings.

-
No.

I can't do that.

You mean you won't do that.

Look, I'm not
going to apologize

for having faith in the system.

I know what they did, Captain.

No, you don't.

You weren't there.

I don't need to
have been there.

But that's not the
way the system works.

But it's their
system, not ours.

It is our system.

We're cops.

Black cops.

Oh, you noticed, huh?

Yeah.

Have you?

All right, Judy,
I know you're upset,

so I'll chalk it up to that.

I've got some leave
time coming, Captain.

Hoffs, why don't you
just stay out of this case?

And I'd like to
take that time now.

[door closes]

Not very happy for someone
who's taking a vacation.

I'm in no mood for jokes.

We know.

That's why we're doing it.

We're just trying to help
you cool out, you know.

I don't think it's working.

Not working at all.

Look, I appreciate
this, but you know I

gotta take care of this thing.

Then let us help.

- This is my w*r, guys.
- No, no, no, no.

We think of it as
our w*r, remember?

You're the one who
told us that's the way

things work around here.

I'm not gonna have
you taking leave.

[phone rings]

Fine.

We've got off hours.

[siren wailing]

Come on, Wayne, you make it
sound like a walk in the park.

Not that easy.

But it isn't going to be
an inquisition either.

Why are they making
us testify individually?

So we don't end up sounding
like the Vienna Boys Choir.

Look, we all tell
the same story.

Nobody deviates, not at all.

So it'll be us against
a bunch of spooks.

What makes you so
sure they'll believe us?

Because they want to.

TRAYNOR: What about the kids?

I think we can
take care of that.

[officer on radio]

Where are the others?

Couldn't make it.

Most of them are too scared.

All right, this
is Joey Penhall.

Jamaal Evans, Mo, and Louis.

Yo, what's up?

Jamaal.

What's up, fellas?

Listen, we wanna
get your statements,

but first I'd like to
hear about witnesses.

It all happened so fast, I
don't remember seeing anybody.

Well, we'll ask around,
see if we can find anyone.

After this, I'm
gonna head downtown

and pick up the incident sheet.

What do you plan on doing?

We plan on getting to
know these guys real well.

So I got the
jig nailed, right?

I mean, he knows it.

All I'm seeing is
eyeballs and teeth, right?

[chuckling] So I say, if
you answer the question,

I'll give you.

I'll let you walk, right?

He says OK.
He's all for it.

He wants to know
what the question is.

So I say, hey, you
know what a Thermos is?

He says, yeah, yeah,
I know a Thermos is.

I say, OK, if you put
soup in the Thermos,

it keeps the soup hot, right?

He says, yeah, yeah.

He nods his head.

I said, but if you put
lemonade in a Thermos,

it keeps the lemonade cool.

He says, yeah, yeah.

He nods his head again.

So I said, OK, well, if you put
the hot stuff in the Thermos,

it keeps the hot stuff hot.

And if you put the cool
stuff in the Thermos,

it keeps the cool
stuff cool, right?

So here's the question.

How do it know?

[laughing]

You should've seen
the guy's face.

Oh, I was laughing so hard,
I had to let the weebie go.

So, Officer Monaco, tell
me what we can do for you.

Well, uh, we got this numbers
game being run up in North,

lots of kids with bettable cash.

Someone's running the
show from elsewhere.

And?

And it's bigger
than we thought.

Apparently they're using
the numbers thing to ID

teenage customers for dr*gs.

What's it got to do with us?

Well, uh, we
got a -- saying

the thing's being masterminded
from your territory.

Who?

th street g*ng.

Figured you guys are the
resident experts, so, uh--

We never heard
anything about this.

Who's your source?

Nah, I promised the breed
I wouldn't drop his name,

you know?

HARDING: Yeah.

Well, we'll let you know
if we hear anything.

I'd really appreciate it.

See you guys.

HARDING: How come you didn't
just call us instead of having

to drive all the way over here?
- Well, I figured, uh--

Look, I don't want you guys
to think I'm blowing smoke,

all right?

I mean, you guys are
out there every day

busting rainbow low-lifes.

I think it's the
most important law

enforcement that's being done.

The truth is, I just wanted
to meet you guys, you know?

Well, thanks for
the kind words.

We'll be in touch.

All right, I'll see you guys.

[music playing]

OK, Kyle, time for some fun.

[rap music playing]

(RAPPING) Now here I come with
another one of the dope ones.

Masterpiece and I'm thinking
I've gotta throw one

at those who oppose a Romeo.

Rich knows.

Take a machete and
chop off your toes

so that you never run up and
get run over like a truck

and I'm hoping that you duck
and dodge his right upper cut.

And the beef will be resolved
because the problem is solved.

Somebody call a medic.

My fist was stuck to his jaw.

He tried to flex and
test my boxing skill.

Now all the brother can
do is take pain pills.

[siren wailing]

Man, what did I do?

Give me your license.

Keep both hands
where I can see them.

[officer on radio]

Take out the license
and give it to me.

Yes, sir, but I
didn't do anything.

You were speeding.

Clocked you at .

No way, man.

You arguing with me, boy?

Get out of the car.

[chatter on police radio]

Ah, no.

I said get out!

I remember you, man.

That's why I'm here, Jones.

We don't like liars.

You better think
twice about testifying

against police officers, boy!

It can be dangerous.

I saw what I saw and
I felt what I felt, man.

[grunts]

Let's get it straight, Sambo.

My partner and I have
enough cause to dust

you right here, right now.

Nobody would be the wiser.

Do I make my point clear?

[sobs]

Yes, sir.

[grunts]

Give the message
to your friends.

[officer on radio]

[train horn honking]

And then they drove away.

It was worse than the park, man.

You recognized them, Louis.

Did you also see a badge
number or anything?

[laughs]

The badge wasn't on the
shirt like it usually is.

Perfect.

No badges, never
gave you a ticket.

So there's no proof
that they were

actually there, only your word.

I'm scared, man,
you understand?

I don't think I can
go through with this.

You've got to.

Otherwise, it's gonna
happen over and over.

I just don't know, man.

I don't know.

Well, it's getting late.

Why don't we call it a night?

Maybe in the morning
we'll all be able to think

a little clearer, OK?

Good night.

Good night.

How do you stay so calm?

I got angry just saying those
things in the locker room.

Try having to hear them.

Well, Louis heard them.

And he isn't gonna testify.

And I can't say as I blame him.

Well, it looks a
little shaky, too.

And you can forget
about Jamaal, too.

Mrs. Evans!

I want you to stop
what you're doing.

I want you to stop
all of this right now.

Mrs. Evans.

He is my son and I don't
plan to bury him to the gangs

or to the police.

Mrs. Evans, have you
talked to Jamaal about this?

He'll understand
when he's older.

Understand what?

The same thing every young
black man comes to know,

that trying to fight
cops like that bunch

will almost always
get you k*lled.

Now stay away from him.

Please!

So, um, how come I'm
getting fed dinner?

JUDY: Part of the apology.

Ah.

When we spoke the other
day, Captain, you said

you believed in the system.

Do you also believe the
system can get screwed up?

Of course I do.

I'm an optimist.

I'm not a fool.

Harding's taking control
of this investigation.

Like how?

JUDY: Like physically
threatening the kids.

Hitting them.

Yeah, well, I still think
the system can handle it.

Well, not if there's no
one left to testify, Captain.

OK.

Now you wanna tell me what it
is that's really eating at you?

Jamaal's mother wants me
to k*ll the investigation.

FULLER: Do you blame her?

No, but I still
think she's wrong.

Not from her point of view.

If I just drop this,
let Harding and his guys

walk, how am I supposed
to live with that?

FULLER: Badly, but you live.

Jamaal's mother is
afraid he won't.

How do you do it, Captain?

How do you just
accept that, working

alongside people like that?

FULLER: Didn't start the
day I came to work, Jude.

Started the day I was born.

Racism isn't unique
to the police.

It's this whole damn
country we live in.

Or maybe you hadn't noticed.

I guess I had that one coming.

Yes, you did.

Anyway, I saw two ways to change
it, mediation or intimidation

I opted for the first.

And are you happy
with that choice?

Some days better than others.

I can't tell you
what to do, Judy.

Can't or won't?

You only look at one
person in the mirror.

So, um, what kind of sauce you
got to go on that spaghetti?

Store bought.

[laughs]

The best kind.

Come on, let's eat.

My mama told me what she did.

Is that why you
wanted to see me?

Yes, I figured you had a right
to speak your own mind, too.

I mean, I know
she's scared for me.

But that's her generation's
way of looking at it.

But, Jamaal, she has a
reason to be concerned.

So you're saying
even if I testify,

these guys may still walk?

Maybe.

Unfortunately, there
are no guarantees.

Don't matter.

I wanna do it anyway.

The way they jumped us, threw
us down, called us names.

I kept thinking back to
those old history films

they used to show,
except it was now.

And it was me and my friends!

The worst thing
is doing nothing.

The only way to stop
them is to do something.

I just wanna make sure
that you're sure, that's all.

I'm sure.

You down with us?

I'm down with you.

Give me a call if you
need something, OK?

JAMAAL: Thanks.

HARDING: We
responded at : PM.

The information was
there was g*ng activity

taking place in the park.

We proceeded into the area.

Several fights were in progress.

One kid with a baseball bat
was threatening another.

We moved in, shouted for them
to cease and desist immediately.

They were belligerent.

But we stopped the fighting
with minimal use of force.

And we lined them up,
using standard procedures.

The pat down
revealed no weapons.

So we began interrogating them.

They, uh, they repeatedly
denied any g*ng affiliations.

They became arrogant
and abusive.

So we ordered them
to go face down.

Said it was either that or the
squad cars and going downtown.

Then they became passive.

Well, they claimed to be
in the park to play baseball.

We saw no evidence of
that, except for the bat.

We could have arrested them,
but we decided to let them go.

We did warn them, however,
to stay away from the park.

But that's part of our
job, keeping the parks

free for families in the area.

How'd it go?

I used the line about keeping
the parks free from gangs.

Looks like they
were eating it up.

Let's go.
No more talking in here.

Hi, I'm Detective Hoffs.

I have an appointment
with Lieutenant Garcia.

Yes, he's expecting you.

Would you like to
take a seat, please?

Oh, damn it.

I forgot my hat in the
interrogation room.

I'll meet you in
the parking lot.

Yes, sir.

Lieutenant Garcia
will see you now.

Thanks.

Good to meet you.

Lieutenant Garcia, I only
hope I can be of some help.

Oh, I'm sure you can.

Thanks.

[ominous music playing]

[siren wailing]

Yo, remember, fellas, we gotta
be there by :, all right?

OK, I'm gonna come by
the garage about :

to pick up the equipment.

You too, Louis,
now I don't wanna

hear none of your
last minute stories

about how you met some
fine woman on the way

and got held up.

Hey, come on, Jamaal.

I'm just a normal
healthy young man,

with a normal healthy drive.

Yeah, man, well, drive it
over to my garage by :,

all right?
Peace.

I'm outta here, y'all.

Stay up.

Listen carefully, because I
don't plan to repeat myself.

You testify and your mama's
gonna find you in a body bag.

Is that clear?

Yes!

I can't hear you, butthead.

Please!

I can't breathe!

Now no more talking
to your lady cop friend.

You got that?

Yes.

Good.

[groans]

Just a reminder, in
case your memory lapses.

[groans]

[horn honks]

Jamaal's in the hospital.

He's not going to testify.

Harding got to him.

How?

In his car.

He's got two broken ribs
and choke marks on his neck.

Did you talk to IAD?

Earlier, before
this all happened.

But it doesn't matter, Captain.

He was our last witness.

OK, I'm in.

But we do this my way.

Forbes?

Yeah.

Who are you?

Fuller, Internal Affairs.

Look, I'm due at the station.

This won't take long.

This is a very nice area.

Good place to raise kids.

You've been on the force, what?

years?

Yeah.

It'd be a shame to
throw it all away.

What are you talking about?

The witness is coming back.

What witness?

The guy that was in the park.

He saw everything and
he's gonna testify.

You read our statements.
We got nothing to hide.

[laughs]

Yeah, yeah, I read them.

And I've seen better song and
dance numbers on Star Search.

And I think if you
really had anything on us,

you wouldn't even
be talking to me.

I think you're fishing.

Hey, Dumbo.

Listen up, pal.

This is what you're looking at.

We got a kid in
the hospital who's

gonna nail your boss
for aggravated as*ault.

We got a parks worker who
saw you and your buddies

b*at the hell out of a
bunch of kids for no reason.

And once we get some
headlines on this thing,

we're gonna have people coming
out the woodwork just to help

nail your butt to the cross.

Now here's the test part.

Would you like to, A, cooperate?

Or, B, watch all
of this go away?

What do you want from me?

I want your cooperation.
Now.

I can't.

They're my partners.

Forbes, there's no code
that's gonna protect you, pal.

It's over.

Maybe you should start
thinking about your family.

JOEY: Time to rock and roll.

Shift ends in a half an hour.

All right, I'm on my way.

Hey, Mac.

What?

You look really
good in that uniform.

Yeah, I'll send you a picture.

OFFICER: Hey, you got an extra
set of cuffs I could borrow?

Hey, Monaco, how's it going?

Well, for me, fine.

For you, I'm not so sure.

What's that supposed to mean?

Well, I was
downtown a while ago.

I heard your name
being mentioned,

something about some
incident in the park

or something like that.

Yeah?

Go on.

Well, a couple of the suits
were getting real excited.

You know, I didn't get it all,
but they said some about one

of your guys, Forbes,
testifying or something

like that tomorrow.

I figured you should
know, you know?

It doesn't make sense.

I'm just telling you what
I heard, man, you know?

Yeah.

Thanks for coming by.

Yeah.

Well, let me know if there's
anything I can do, all right?

See ya.

OFFICER (ON SPEAKER):
The officers

who arrested Jeff Clark,
please come to the front desk.

His bail money has arrived.

How's it going?

Fine.

Everything OK out there today?

Yeah.

Quiet for a change.

Nothing wrong with that.

Excuse me.

So I'll see you over Barney's?

Yeah.

Oh, I gotta pick up Jenny and
take her to her piano lesson

first.

I'll be there around
:, I guess.

HARDING: Good.

I'm buying.

FORBES: What's the occasion?

HARDING: I won big
in the poker game.

I'll see ya later.

OK, Captain, it's on.

All right.

I'm on my way.

Oh, uh, don't forget.

Hit star nine first to set
up the call forwarding.

You're worse than
my mother, Penhall.

Hey, Charlene, your boss around?

Captain Fuller.

No, I'm afraid
Lieutenant Garcia is

upstairs right now with the DA.

Seems like he's always
with the DA these days.

I was hoping I could grab
him for lunch next week.

Lunch?

Well, let me check.

He's free on Thursday.

Thursday would be fine.

OK.

Listen, can I use
your phone for a sec?

I need to check in
with the office.

- Sure, help yourself.
- Thanks.

Nah.

All lines are busy right now.

Guess I'm lucky
I'm not there, huh?

Listen, tell your boss to
pick someplace real good, OK?

All right, I will.

All right.

[music playing]

OFFICER (ON SPEAKER): Detective
Donahue to the front desk.

Detective Donahue to
the front desk, please.

[phone rings]

Internal Affairs,
may I help you?

This is Officer Forbes.

I have an appointment
there tomorrow.

Could you confirm the time?

Yes, : AM, Officer Forbes.

HARDING: Thank you.

Thank you.

[music playing]

- Don't get out.
- What's up?

Just drive to the alley
behind th and Bliden.

Come on, Wayne.

We got squeezed in there once.

You remember?

Yeah, I remember.

Now drive.

You forgot who your
brothers are, Kyle.

You forgot the code.

What are you
talking about, man?

I know you're planning
to sacrifice us.

You're going to IAD tomorrow.

Yeah, who told you that crap?

Who got to you?

- Nobody got to me.
- Garcia maybe?

No!

Or the spade from Jump Street?

No!

Listen to me
carefully, Forbes.

There's still time to
save this, if you'll

just talk straight to me.

All right.

I did get a visit.

But it wasn't Garcia.

It was some other guy from IAD.

Look, they know a lot more
than we thought, Wayne.

A lot more.

I had no choice.

The man put the squeeze on me.

I gotta think about
Mary and the kids.

How much did you tell him?

I didn't tell him nothing.

Just agreed to testify.

Forget it.

You're not saying anything.

Well, it's not
as easy as that.

I mean, that Evans kid is
in the hospital, Wayne.

I saw him.

What'd you do to him, man?

What'd you do to him?

What are you saying?

What are you trying
to get me to say?

Damn you, Forbes, you set us up!

All right, hold
it right there!

[siren wailing]

Lower the g*n, Traynor.

No way!

Don't make it any
worse than it is, pal.

Put it down, Traynor.

Let's go, man.

Let's go.
- Move it.

Let's go.

We're cops.

We take care of each other.

Uh-uh.

Not when it gets like this.

Oh, what do you know?

Your fat butt's behind a desk.

We're out here
everyday, knocking

down doors to get the bad guys.

But you can't tell who the
bad guys are anymore, can you?

Like hell I can't.

Listen, the barbarians
are at the gates.

And they're all n*gg*r*s
and sp*cs and slopes.

And if you bleeding hearts
don't wake up and see it,

your whole system's
going up in smoke.

Man once said, if you
ain't part of the solution,

you're part of the problem.

The system's not perfect.

But it's gonna be a hell of a
lot better with you out of it.

Please get this
man out of my face.

[music playing]

[car engine starts]

[music playing]

Hey.

Thanks for showing me
that thing still works.

Well, I needed to show
myself as much as you.

Watch me get busy.

Um, thang!

Aight.
