Code of Honor

[sirens blaring]

[motorcycles approaching]

Glad you could make it.

Yeah, well, if you have

what you say you have,

boss'll do more business.

First show me the money,

then we can talk business.

Clean, and uncut.

Straight from the source.

This man right here is in charge

of FDA approval.

I usually prefer ecstasy,

but, uh...

I'm an equal opportunity

kind of guy.

[groans]

We're under attack!

Sh*t.

[groans]

[grunts]

[screams]

[grunts]

[groans]

[grunting]

[train whistle blows]

[gasps]

[grunts]

[woman reports in Spanish]

Over a dozen gang members

are dead

in what can only be

described as a massacre.

Early reports indicate

that several of the victims

were wanted in connection

with a variety of other violent

crimes throughout the city.

Now if you take a look

behind me here,

you can see that most of them...

[helicopter whirrs]

[police radio chatter]

[sighs]

Morning, Captain.

With all this media circus,

is it?

What the hell happened here?

- Drug deal gone wrong?

- Very wrong.

They forgot to take the drugs.

Think Vincent Romano

is behind this?

Isn't he behind everything?

So, who are

the victims today?

It's a mess.

Buddy's laying over here

and what's left

of the 1st Streeters,

which, as you know,

up until last night

were the most vicious,

violent gang in the city,

responsible for more rapes

and murders than your average

Third World army.

Over here, we've got the remains

of the Whiteboys,

white supremacist version

of the 1st Streeters,

only these guys got cash and mob

ties to back 'em up.

All the upstanding citizens

of society.

Yeah, most of them were shot.

One of them was blown up.

One got a knife to the throat.

Whatever happened here, somebody

walked away with a lot of money.

Not exactly, sir.

How much is in there?

Enough to say that someone

is very unhappy.

Smoking cigars now, hm.

And I thought he was perfect.

Put your hands on your head

and turn around real slow.

Let me guess,

you're pointing a standard

police-issue nine millimeter

Glock at me?

Holds 15 rounds in the mag,

16 if you count the one

that's not in the chamber.

It's nothing any run-of-the-mill

Kevlar vest wouldn't stop.

The irony is,

your academy training has you

pointing at my torso,

not my head.

[c*cks gun]

Last chance.

Relax, Detective,

I'm on your side.

It is Detective, isn't it?

I'm just assuming the patrol

officer would have some sort of

age requirement.

- Who are you?

- Special Agent William Porter.

I'm also gonna take a gamble

that that Glock isn't gonna

shoot me before

I can show you my ID.

F***!

What are you doing here anyway?

This isn't a federal case.

He's using this rooftop

as a staging ground.

Tell me, which him?

You'd need a small army

to take out these two gangs.

You know, I'm thinking several

guys with machine guns?

A couple of knife men

in the alley,

bomber to take out the Mercedes,

spotter or two on the roof, so

come on, tell me, how many hims?

It's just one.

What happened

to the drugs?

Where's the money, Ex?

I-- I don't know.

[sobs]

I need to see a doctor!

[breathes rapidly, then screams]

You're gonna keep on bleeding

until we understand what

happened here.

Mr. Romano isn't very happy.

[door opens]

[door closes]

Who did this?

[stammers] I didn't see

any faces.

They were everywhere,

they were all around us.

Who would do this to you?

Get rid of him.

[growls angrily]

[screams]

[door opens]

[door closes]

Who would do this to us?

There's no other cartel strong

enough to pull this off.

[woman on TV] Good evening.

Recent crimes rates in our city

are increasing

with such rapid momentum

that citizens are looking to

our political leaders for

answers.

News Channel Four's very own,

Michelle Gibson,

has contacted Mayor Randolph's

office for comment,

however it appears that

Mayor Randolph's active

campaign for governor,

seems to be the only thing

on his agenda,

other than defending numerous

accusations of infidelity.

As of this time, the mayor

has declined to comment

or return our calls. Erin?

Erin, we have breaking news

from the old missile silo

on the edge of town.

Reports are coming in

that a violent,

yet selective assassination

of known gang members and drug

dealers occurred last night.

What we know at this time is

that several cars were riddled

with bullets

and one vehicle exploded with

such devastation

that its make

has yet to be identified.

Moreover the crime scene

is littered with corpses

and body parts so mutilated

and scattered,

that the police have yet

to establish an accurate body

count.

Our city's Police Captain

Connolly and several detectives

are on the scene.

Additionally,

our Channel 4 News copter has

been in the air all morning.

We will bring you updated

details as they become

available.

[up-tempo techno music plays]

[indistinct chattering]

How bad is he?

Oh, poor baby.

Tell him Mommy will be there

as soon as she can.

Get your pants off, Keri.

You're on next.

Thank you.

Hey, Natasha?

Hi, Keri.

What's going on?

My son got sick at school.

Can you cover for me?

Of course.

Tell the little guy

I hope he feels better.

Thank you.

You're a life-saver.

What do you want me

to tell Jack?

They'll be only two of us until

the shift change.

I know, I'm sorry.

Tell him...

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Oh, and the scary guy

in the back isn't tipping.

What does he look like?

I don't know, I didn't

get a good look at him.

Well, he hasn't seen me yet.

[techno music continues]

[car alarms blaring]

Good evening. Not even

24 hours has passed

and we find our Channel 4 News

team back on scene

where yet another atrocity

has besieged our town.

- Eric?

- Thank you, Erin.

Breaking news, Channel 4

is on the scene

at the Snake Eyes Strip Club.

We are hearing that an apparent

bomb or other incendiary device

has annihilated this building.

Bomb squad officials report

that only a military-grade bomb

could cause a destruction

of this magnitude.

And it is assumed to have been

remotely detonated.

The question remains,

who would be capable of getting

a hold of such a device?

[man] Raise it up.

There you go.

More to the left.

Here you go, miss.

Did you find any

other bodies inside?

This is Jerry Simon

coming to you live

from the charred remains

of the Snake Eyes Strip Club.

It seems that our fair city,

which just last night

played host

to the bloody massacre of two of

our most violent street gangs,

must now bear witness

to the fiery destruction

of its most notorious

strip club.

Girls said they were the only

dancers in the club at the time.

Luckily it was

between shifts.

- They see anything?

- No, they were in the dressing

room.

That building was filled

with weapons and ammunition.

There's gonna be

a lot of dead in there.

The 1st Streeters,

the Whiteboys,

now the Snake Eyes Club.

Are we looking for someone to

arrest or to thank, Rodriguez?
