He's got him in an underground

tunnel beneath Tirana, Mossi's club.

What underground tunnels

are you talking about?

It's their safehouse.

And there are cops involved.

They tried to shoot me.

Hey, you better watch

what you're saying, Chang.

Just come to Tirana, and

you'll see it for yourself.

Please!

Where are you right now?

How are you

doing, partner?

Long time no see.

Mmm.

You have the vest on.

That's not gonna help.

You're gonna die today.

And so is your friend.

So the best thing you can do

is just tell me everything.

Who did you give

the evidence to?

How many copies

do you have?

Your choice.

You go quick

and painless...

or you're gonna endure

something that is...

unspeakable.

Hey-

What are you doing

down there?

Josie, you gotta

go,okay?

Take Georgie and Lydia and

get out of here right now.

What are you talking about?

Don't come-

I'm not a cop, okay?

Why d6 you keep

Saying that?

It's complicated.

But what's most important

is that you leave right now.

Then, if you're not a cop,

who the hell are you?

No one you want to know.

Now go.

Sorry to bother you

gentlemen. I need to come in...

and take a look around.

Just don't hurt him.

This was my idea.

Just let him be.

I'm the only one-

Hey-

One of your

pigs is upstairs.

I thought you had

control of your cops.

Uh...

No, no, no, Mossi, listen.

Mossi, listen to me.

You think he's

gonna protect you?

You think a guy like that is gonna

protect you? Think about this.

I've got evidence

to put him away for years.

You don't think he's gonna

cover his tracks with you?

Huh? Think, Mossi!

What is your backup plan?

No, no.

No. No, please.

No, no, no, please.

No,no,no!

No!

Sh*t!

That's my backup plan.

Ryan! Ryan!

Where do these doors go?

This is gonna be so much

easier if you just hold still.

MOSSII Hold still!

Open. Open. Open.

No!

I'll shoot him!

I'll shoot him!

I swear to God-

Oh...

I had your 6, dude.

Drop your weapons!

Get down!

What are you doing?

Saving your life!

But don't get on top of me

like this! I don't like this!

6- Adam-7. Shots fired.

Request all available units...

Justin, get off!

What the hell was that?

Help get these

off me, quick.

Holy sh*t.

You all right?

Yeah, are you okay?

Yeah.

Thank you for saving us

- Just shut up!

We didn't mean

to screw you over.

t was never our intention

to pull you into this.

I don't care.

Get upstairs

and get outside!

And take that thing off.

That's a uniform.

You gotta earn it. You

understand that, "Sarge?"

Now get the f***

out of here.

6- Adam-7.

I need backup, now.

What are you doing?

I can't do this.

He's outmanned, he's

outgunned, and it's my fault.

You were right. I gotta

take responsibility for once.

That's not

what I meant.

Wait!

What, man?

No more

running away, right?

Yeah.

What the f***?

My bad.

Let's not use these.

What are you doing?

Get the hell out of here!

Go! Now!

Here's what we gotta do. We

gotta pull the fire away from him.

He's stuck, okay?

All right.

On the count of three, we

gotta shoot like crazy, okay?

Ok '2

Okay, ay'

3,2,1.

(SHOUT s)

Segars!

They killed Segars, man!

All right, we gotta find

a door. Look back here. Let's go.

We gotta get

the f*** out of here.

Sh*t, man.

What are we gonna do?

Being in the sh*t

isn't the sh*t.

No, it's not the sh*t.

Look, man,

I'm sorry about everything.

Everything I said.

I didn't mean-

Justin, we're brothers.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, we're brothers-

Get up, get UP!

Are you okay?

Did I just get shot? No, it's just

the spray. You're okay. We gotta go.

I just got shot!

Like I haven't been

shot before. Come on!

What?

Let's go.

Before we die,

I just want to tell you...

If you tell me you love me, I'm

gonna punch you in your face.

But we're about to die!

But you were about to say

that you loved me!

Yeah.

Say something better.

F*** you.

That's better.

Ryan?

Ryan? Ryan?

Sh*t.

Chang!

Oh!

F***, Chang!

Are you okay?

Beside the fact that you

shot me, I'm great, Chang.

I'm sorry.

Segars, those two

with you?

Yeah, we're good.

Code 4.

All teams, 10-12.

Really too late to call so

We waited for

Morning to wake you

That's all we got

To know me as hardly golden

ls to know me all wrong

They were

At every occasion I'll be

Ready for a funeral

At every occasion...

Life can

get confusing...

and you lose sight of the

person you wanted to be.

The Los Angeles Police

Department is proud to announce...

Mossi Kasic is no longer

a threat to this city.

Fortunately, I did not have

to make this arrest alone.

This was truly a team effort.

RYAN". All right, man.

I'm passing this

gauntlet on to you...

so don't let these streets get

all messed up again, all right?

I got this sh*t, bro.

Sometimes, you have

to go through hell and back.

Or, we just

blow sh*t up!

To see that the problems you

thought were so big in your life...

weren't so big after all.

Or not. We could just do

what you want to do.

Right.

The 2 cops have to work together to

get out. I think it could be great.

Are you writing

this down?

Give me that.

Write that down.

And that courage

you always wanted...

you always had it. You just

needed to get in the game.

Hi.

Sorry, we don't

serve liars here.

Can I get you a cup of

bullshit for the road?

Josie, I didn't come

here to win you back.

Or go back to whatever

we were before.

I just came here to tell

you that I am truly sorry.

And this is what I should

have done from the get-go.

Hi, I'm Justin.

Justin Miller.

I'm a 30-year-old video game

designer and I have a roommate.

Nice to meet you.

I'm sorry.

I'm Josie. It's nice to meet you, too.

Officer Nicholas Thomas.

Officer Ryan O'Malley.

And with hard work...

and a little help

from a friend...

you can become that guy you

have always wanted to be.

Thank you.

Yeah!

Aren't you a little

out of yourjurisdiction?

I'm off-duty, civilian.

And get in.

Easy,dude!

What's Pupa doing here?

He's my informant. Now that

I need ears on the street.

I'm the ears and the eyes

on the street for him to know.

All units be advised.

Possible 2-11 Sierra

in progress.

Awesome, a 2-11 Sierra.

Okay, drop me off right here.

Oh, why are you

being such a b*tch?

Pupa, stop calling me a b*tch!

Dispatch, we are in route.

No, we are not in route.

Yes, we are.

No, we are not.

Yes, we are.

Don't touch that!

We're gonna arrest you!

That is a Code 3, Chang!

We are back!

Whoo!

Pizza boy, freeze!

Put the pizzas down, now.

Put the pizzas down!

Put them down!

And the sodas!

And the sodas, too!

Yeah!

You need to test

drive it for what?

For emissions, sir.

Now step outside.

Hey, Chang, hop in.

This one's you, bud.

Yeah!

Yeah!

I love that car!

How long

is he gonna be?

I don't know. A couple of hours, I bet.

Officers, thank you

so much.

No, thank you

so much.

What is-?

Oh, sh*t!

Not again, man!

Oh, sh*t,

the cops!

Go!

Don't drop that thun thun
