Street Kings Page #7

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.

Who will pay your retirement?

Only I am correcting the system.

We are police officers helping police officers.

And if a teacher or fireman...

... it could do it...

... also it would do it.

And to shut that thing about up to the villains?

We all are bad, Tom.

You were my best friend.

We were a family.

Throw her, Ludlow!

There are already too many deaths.

I came as soon as you called me.

I bet that it is

first in the scene.

Not, were it was you who.

It seems that the friends

of Jack they went mad...

... and they came for his money.

Does that seem?

Was it his plan, Captain?

To sit down to see how us metbamos?

You were the plan.

Nobody any more could touch it.

Once you opened the eyes,

it had to spend this.

The decisions

they had already taken them...

... powerful men

shameful secrets.

They were afraid of Jack.

They asked me for help.

One day, you will see the chief in the corridor

and he will agree with the head.

You will know the motive.

Because you were right...

... we need you.
