Officer Down Page #6

Synopsis: In Bridgeport, Connecticut, Detective David 'Cal' Callahan is a family man, married to Alexandra with a teenage daughter, Lanie. Cal has an unscrupulous past, drug and alcohol addicted, and he was reborn when he was shot by a drug dealer and saved by a stranger. When a stranger meets Cal in a bar, he tells Cal that he was the one who saved him and gives the journal of his deceased daughter to Cal. He tells Cal that she committed suicide after she was beaten up and raped by Angel, a regular at the night-club where she danced, owned by the drug dealer Royce Walker. Cal investigates Angel and when he sees the man in his car in front of the school where Lanie studies, he believes that Angel is a pedophile and Cal decides to take action. But he finds that he is a marionette and someone is pulling the strings and watching him dance.

with all my heart.

Whatever happens to me...

you tell her that, okay?

Okay?

(CELLPHONE BUZZES)

Hey, Brogan.

Callahan, found a couple matches

on that journal you dropped off.

We had to fume it,

but besides yours,

we found one

belonging to Royce Walker.

I know.

Thanks.

Who's got your piece, Oleg?

I don't own one.

- Oh.

- I do not believe in violence.

I doubt your girlfriend

would agree with that.

All right,

listen to me very carefully,

you f***ing douche bag.

A cop was shot last night,

and your gun was involved.

A cop?

I guess somewhere

a saint just got his wings.

- Oh, whoa, whoa.

- That's all you got?

No, no, no.

He's got a lot more than that.

So maybe it's time

you stopped cracking wise

and answered the question.

You don't get it.

You get three hots and a cot

for doing your old lady.

That's easy time.

But for killing a cop...

How the f*** could

I kill a cop while I'm here?

Think about it.

LARUSSA:

Oleg, let me teach you a new word.

"Conspiracy."

"Conspiritzia."

That's close enough.

Doesn't matter

if you pulled the trigger,

just so you knew

what the gun was being used for,

so let's try again.

Where's your gun?

Where's your gun?

Where's your f***ing gun?!

Captain.

I'll take it from here.

Sure. We'd like to sit in.

That won't be necessary.

Go, go.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Was I unclear, Lieutenant?

SCANLON:

F***ing commie.

You know what

a risk-benefit ratio is?

Do you know what that means?

It's like a negotiation.

And do I have the deal

of a lifetime for you.

Good.

Dispatch,

this is Five-Lincoln-12.

Go ahead, Five-Lincoln-12. Over.

I'm at 1175 Fulton.

Shots fired. Officer down.

All patrols, respond.

We have a 10-0-0 at 1175 Fulton.

Immediate backup.

(GUNFIRE)

Hey, Walker!

You had to get rid

of Logue, huh?

Why me?

Why did it have to be me?

I remember watching you on TV

begging your savior

to come forward

so you could thank him

in person.

It was touching.

Then I started to wonder.

What if that journal

had a different ending?

What would happen if your savior

came back into your life...

...and you had the chance

to repay him?

How far would you go, Cal?

Full the strings.

Watch them dance.

Okay. Okay, that's good.

Take a hike.

Thank you.

Maybe I should get

a lawyer present.

I have a sworn affidavit here

from Oleg Emelyanenko.

It states that Royce Walker

found out Logue

was an undercover officer

and ordered a hit on him.

You discovered this information

in the course

of your investigation,

and when you went

to confront Walker,

he and his men reacted

in a life-threatening manner.

You had no choice

but to use deadly

and justifiable force.

And the rest just gets

swept under the rug,

right, Captain?

No one cares.

I care.

Just sign it

like you did before.

Not this time.

I will never grasp...

the extent of your ingratitude.

You know, you talk about

protecting the integrity

of the department.

The only thing you've ever

concerned yourself with

is covering your own ass.

Don't you turn your back on me,

you self-righteous little prick.

You keep your mouth shut,

or I will f***ing

bury you, Callahan.

You hear me?!

CALLAHAN:

People talk about fate...

how everything

happens for a reason.

But I never believed that.

I disrespected

the woman that I love.

I violated my oath

to protect and serve.

I couldn't find a single reason

why I deserve a second chance.

Until now.

Let's go home.

(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)

You take my world

And wrap it

Round this dance

You had the perfect rhythm

From the start

And I just can't slow

The beating of my heart

That you give me arrhythmia

Give me arrhythmia

You want to love

with the light on

Show me the switch,

and I'll hit it

You want to get

in the race now

Show me the start,

and I'll win it

Even when I'm fading

You keep on

picking me back up

You make it feel

like an inner girl

You make it feel like

America

Baby, tonight, I feel like

Making love

You take my world

And wrap it round

this dance

And I just can't slow

the beating of my heart

That you give me arrhythmia.

(BALLAD PLAYING)

Over the radio

Comes a sound

I hope I never know

Another officer down

But if you were an angel

Show me the way to go

I can see heaven now

When I opened my eyes

When I opened my eyes

You were there

You were there

You were there.
