Street Kings Page #2

Synopsis: LAPD detective Tom Ludlow is a ruthlessly efficient, unorthodox undercover cop. Captain Jack Wander always covers for Tom, as do even his somewhat jealous colleagues. After technically excessive violence against a vicious Korean gang during the liberation of a kidnapped kid sex slave, Tom becomes the target of IA's hotshot, captain James Biggs, who feels passed over after Wander's promotion to chief. Tom's corrupt, disloyal ex-patrol partner Terrence Washington sides with IA but is killed during a shop robbery in Tom's presence.

it is for the head of Internal Matters.

He knows the dirt of all.

And he always looks more.

Yes.

Do you meet this idiot?

It approached as a citizen

normal and it rose to me questions.

Yes, we share a past.

If you work in the daytime,

you would meet your enemies.

What did you say to him?

I cannot control oneself.

I told him everything.

This way Biggs works, cheating.

For what Internal Matters

is it investigating me?

For Washinton.

Your ancient partner

he has been speaking.

Do not be able to be!

Tell me.

Washington assembled several

times with Captain Biggs.

There are no secrets

in the Department.

When I discovered it,

I sent someone to continue it.

I continued it for all sides.

He ended up by visiting Biggs.

Will I know who informs Washington?

On you, Tom.

On me?

Now why?

Because I threw it of the Unit

and it is vindictive.

Now it has the mission to bother

to all my better men.

About that it talks each other.

Waiting, Tommy!

They will dismiss you.

- only I want to speak with him.

- not.

To speak? Better let's chat of

the kick that I will give you if you do not sit down.

Sit down. Do it, it is right.

What happens to you?

Not, I repeat, not

facilitate Washington.

I know that they did both dirty things.

But we must support

the appearances.

We have already happened for this.

When the doors of the hell

they were opened before you...

... I took care of you and I will take care of you now.

In agreement?

Yes.

Washington.

- Throw her!

- What do you do?

- Are you going to kill me?

- We have 211 in progress!

I have them to you and to Wander.

Idiot!

We have two armed vandal ones!

Curse!

Washington, friend resists.

Do not move!

Hands arrive!

I am a police officer!

I am a damned police officer!

Curse! It is Ludlow.

It calls to an ambulance.

Curse!

Also is it a police officer?

Yes.

Where is the video?

- Who more saw this?

- only we.

- 211 that it left of control.

- not, it was not that. This is what seems.

This is not what seems.

Everything is there, Tom!

This seems is what they all see!

If the Department sees it,

you will not be already a police officer.

The Department?

If the district attorney sees it...

... you will go to prison.

Because Washington was in

place and wrong moment?

Not, for that you were.

The problems of Washington

they were finished, it yours they begin.

He tries to think earlier for once.

Biggs will say that you hired

to two criminals in the street...

... so that they were killing a police officer

that was betraying you.

- only he wanted to break the jaw.

- good response.

I gave you the direct order

of that you will move away from him.

Give me your damned gun.

Give me your damned gun!

We know that you do not matter for yourself, Lud.

He thinks about the Unit, you ruin us.

Clady, give me a minute please.

I cannot lose you.

Who will do what you do?

You are the top of the spear.

Who will control to the animals?

Perhaps...

... the teller...

... he forgot to put the disc today.

Perhaps you were the first one in

to come to the scene and you helped...

... to Washington.

I will go out.

I will do a few calls.

Perhaps...

... that is not...

... when I returned.

He was my ancient partner.

We were one target and black one

in the middle of the racism.

The white police officers were not helping us

for he and the blacks for me.

To the devil with them!

We survive.

You tried to save it.

You did what you could.

What I could? It was covering me

while they were shooting him.

We should have killed them.

How can they lie

and to change this way the facts?

We are the police.

We can do what let's want.

It is not important what it happens, the important thing

it are how we inform it.

And the verda?

What is there with her?

You have to honor your friend.

To honor it, it was going to strike it

and he thought that it was going to kill it.

- he is an idiot.

- do something for him.

It always goes out slightly well of the bad thing.

In my world ... in the real one...

... the evil generates evil, Grace.

Do you see? I list.

It was finished.

We take charge.

In agreement?

POLICE OFFICER HERO COMES LATE

TO SAVE AN OFFICIAL.

I will not give you another serm, but...

... you have a uniform

in your pigeonholes?

- not.

- we will do this.

- I have to hide you...

- not, that not.

... in a place politically

correct until this becomes extinct.

Not, Jack.

His work will be to realize interviews

preliminary of the complaints.

If there is an accusation

against some official...

... he writes it and sends it

to Internal Matters.

Now, the temptation is to be

a good brother police officer.

It do not be, of any form at all

from this side will come to nungn.

His office.

And if he complains against me?

He writes it and sends it: in agreement?

Yes.

Does it have any complaint?

The idiot struck me

as if he was Rodney King

but without video.

It was looking alike to you.

But it was black.

This tracero works very much

and you spend it to themselves bothering.

It extracted me of the car, front humiliated me

, he asked my fiance for his phone.

Did he see his number of badge or his name?

I could not with his boot in my gullet

and his partner exploring.

They all here have a complaint.

I waited 5 hours and he asks if

I have a complaint, skylight that if.

Bullshit, that's why I hate to

police officers. Vayanse to the devil!

Wander at least

it has sense of humor.

Does it have any complaint?

Where do I begin?

The black band.

Fallen man.

Does it hurt?

To lose a companion.

An official brother.

I am sorry that he has died, gentleman.

Both were employed at the Unit

Against the Vice.

Tom " Directory "...

... the last warrior of the ghettos.

I knew that better it was you who managed

confession with a directory.

And Washington was holding it.

Is it an examination?

- only I ask.

- to me, only direct questions.

If he wants to interrogate me, do it.

Do you want to have lunch?

This is an examination.

As for the incident of

yesterday:
were you the first one in the scene?

Yes, gentleman.

- Three knobs?

- two, reads the report.

The expert found 3 different ones

calibers in the body of washington.

It seems to me that there were three.

What were you doing there, Tom?

From man to man.

I already extinguished it.

Curse! Annoying you that two

killers of police officers are free...

... living, laughing and having sex?

Does not it bother you?

Skylight that yes!

Why did you allow them to escape, warrior?

Captain, I did not allow them to escape.

What happened with the video?

Which?

Listen to me, whenever you break the rules...

... Wander is there to arrange it.

But already not.

I will throw them gasoline to Wander

and to all those of the Unit Against the Vice.

Then, I will light a phosphorus

and I will burn all of them.

I tried to save it, detective Ludlow.

His time was finished.
