Dirty (2016)
(WOMAN CHATTERING ON RADIO)
MAN: So Socrates says to the guy, "is something right, because god says so? Or does he say so 'cause it's the right thing to say?" Come again? But you know what, if you think about it, if something's right, or if god says something's right, because that's the only right thing there is, that concept, that shit's greater than god. And you're telling me this, why? Well, it's called an education. Haven't you heard, berg, knowledge is the key. Key to what? I don't know, happiness or some shit. Isn't that what little jimmy Holloway said? Who? Little jimmy Holloway. He did a bid for frank sand, up state a couple years back. Right. Short guy? Nah. He literally had a little jimmy. Mm-hmm. Unfortunate nickname if you ask me. I think his given name was Charles, something like that. Anyway, when he came out of prison, they found him in the river, face down with his little prick stuffed halfway down this throat. Why? Because he knew too much... knowledge. That's what knowledge got him. I don't want knowledge. I want ignorance, okay? Give me ignorance anytime. Hey. What's happening? What the fuck is this? What's this philosophy shit? Karen's taking it this semester. Hey, man. You know, that fiance of yours? What about her? She... she... you know. (SIGHS) I hope she's worth every penny, I really do. You know, just because you decide to treat everybody in the world like they're out to fuck you, that doesn't mean you're right. No, it does. That's exactly what I mean. Hey. You sure these guys are coming? Oh, ye of little faith. My ci's solid, trust me. MAN 2: Christopher. Yes, sir? You're short again. I don't see how that's possible... Look, how many times do we have to have this conversation? I don't give a fuck about your excuses, just get it right. Yes, sir. Where do you think you're going? I thought that I would just clean up the glasses. Who told you to think? Hey, buddy, hey! You gotta order a drink or get out. Hey. This ain't a hotel, man. Rise and shine. (RETCHES) Oh, god. Don't stand there like an idiot. Clean that shit up. (PHONE RINGS) -and the phone's not gonna answer itself, huh? You know, sometimes, Christopher. I wonder what the fuck I'm paying you for. (MUMBLES) Reno tavern, how may I help you? Where the hell are you? Vic, calm down. Look, I'm almost done. It's gonna be plenty of time for me to pick up Sam at 3:30. Do you know what day it is? (SIGHS) shit. He gets out early on Fridays. I am so sorry, Vic. Is he pissed? I'm fine, dad. I'm the one that has to go and pick him up, drop him off, and then I have to go back across town to get to my meeting which I am now gonna be late for. I mean, fuck, Chris! Did you at least get the money together? I'm gonna pick up a few extra shifts next week, I promise. Christopher, you're almost five months behind. I mean, you're his father for Christ's sake. I mean, what am I supposed to say? I can't be both his parents, there's supposed to be a father and a mother working together. I can't do all by myself. Christopher, why didn't you put the new signs out yet? Okay, honey, yeah. VIC: Christopher, if you hang up on me, -love you too. I swear... Hello? Is anyone in there? Oh, sorry. What? I'm going home early today, please make sure that you lock up today. And for god's sake, don't forget to stock all the new inventory boxes. Last time I came in and... I almost tripped and I broke my neck. (MUTTERS) yeah, I hope you break your fucking neck, you piece of shit. What'd you say? Huh? Nothing, I just, uh, I said, I need a dolly. Remember last time I messed up my back, remember? Tough shit. Oh, yeah? And if I'm not here Monday 'cause my worker's comp has kicked in, who's gonna lift all those boxes? Him? You? Check next door. I think they borrowed it this morning. Eight of 'em. I count eight. Berg, how much money do you think they have in there? I don't know. Let's go find out shall we? Are you fucking serious, man? You guys look upset. Come on, fellas. Enjoy yourselves. When are you gonna make $2 million in five minutes? You tell me to enjoy ourself, we came here to make a damn drug deal. Straight up the business, huh? Yeah, just like that. So, why don't you tell your boy to pop that dope out? Fuck it, you're right. You're right. Guys, come on. Bring them what they came here for. All right. Oh, no, that's a beautiful thing. (CHUCKLES) Show him the money, man. It's all there. We got a deal? That's a done deal. LAPD, let me see some hands! Hands! Hands! Good afternoon, gentlemen. We're the LAPD. You might have heard about us. We're just gonna take a couple moments of your time and then we're gonna be out of your hair. You might not wanna do that. All though they've made advances in medical science, they haven't yet learned how to reattach a head. (SNAPS FINGERS) well, that's a good move. Teach your wife that one. Can we change the subject, detective? Here we go, first thing's first, all you bad guys out there with the weapons, let's see two fingers on the weapons. Two fingers only, please. Two fingers only. Raise 'em very slowly, very nonviolently, very good. Now, put the weapons on the table. Very slowly. Very nice. You two in the back as well. Thank you. Thank you, kindly. Good, good. Wow, look at this one. Now, take two steps back. Two big steps back. THUG: It's like that, man. You two motherfuckers just gonna walk in here without reading us our rights? (SIGHS) did we forget to do that? I guess so. These are your rights. You have the right to keep your motherfucking mouth shut. Or I'm gonna shoot your fucking head off. Was that good? Yeah? All right. Let's do this. (CHUCKLES) what is this, a fucking joke? Huh? You're the fucking police, you can't just walk out of here with $4 million of our drugs and money. Oh, wow. You finished 8th grade. Good for you. Wonderful. Come on, let's go. Do you have any fucking clue who I am? I'm gonna enjoy killing you slowly. Yeah, that's right. I'm even gonna kill your family members. And I'm gonna start with that stink ass whore you call your mom. This way she don't go around polluting us with any fucking greedy motherfuckers like you. Was there anything else? Can we finish what we came here to do? I think we got everything we came here to get. Let's go. Right on. Come on. See you later, pig, you fucking bitch. You know what? You know what, I've had a change of heart. I'm gonna give you your cut. It's about time. Here it is. (GUNSHOTS) That wasn't so tough, was it, detective? What the fuck? Why did we do that? No witnesses. We both agreed, no witnesses. Okay, one loose end's gonna fuck everything up. Now, help me on this thing. Come on, let's not be sentimental here. None these guys were angels, not one of them. You fucking idiot. You fucking idiot. We could've worn fucking masks. None of them would've known who the fuck we were. All right, are you gonna risk your life behind that? You gonna risk Karen's life behind that? You're gonna risk Karen. Is that what you're gonna do? Come on. The geek squad... Shut the fuck up! Is gonna show up. Shut up! They're gonna be poking around. And this story has got to be right. You gotta be right, Jackson. Fuck! Hello? Mr. Jamir? Look, I need the dolly back. Hello? CHRISTOPHER: Mr. Jamir! (SCREAMS) (GUNSHOT) God damn it. Why did you do that? My bad. You wanna show him your badge? Oh, fuck. (POLICE SIRENS WAIL) Somebody must've heard. Fuck, fuck. Who the fuck is this guy? I don't know, he's dead, you know? (GURGLES, GASPS) God damn it, I thought you said he was fucking dead! He was dead, he was dead, he was very... You know he's not fucking dead. Are you going to fucking kill him now? Shut up. I have a plan. Grab his legs. Grab his legs. Grab his fucking legs? Grab his legs, grab his legs. Put your fucking gun away. What do you want me to do? Pull him over here. (MUSIC PLAYING) WOMAN: Let's get a blood type on him, stat. DOCTOR: Okay, let's prep for surgery. (CHATTERING ON PA SYSTEM) 20% morphine. What are his vitals? What are we gonna do now? Nothing's changed. Fuck that shit, we got a live witness. He fucking saw us. Hey, you need to get a hold of yourself and stick to the plan. Stick to the plan? Oh, right. Fuck you, fuck your plan. This is a million dollar fucking problem, I'm not gonna let you fuck it up for me. You know what, you need to come with me right now, to the little boys room. Everything's okay, right? Right? Right! I fucking knew that this whole blood bath idea of yours was bad fucking news. Now, instead of us going down for robbery, they're gonna stick a fucking needle in us. You listen to me, okay, this could be a good thing. All right, we already have a plan in place. It's just the situation like this, if he stays alive, we blame the thing on him. And we always said, that it would be better, what? With a fall guy. Yeah. If he were fucking dead, maybe. What if it doesn't work? What if they believe his fucking story? Then what? I'm not gonna go to fucking prison. You know what they do to cops in prison? Hey, everything's gonna be all right. Let's try to just stick to the plan, and everything will be fine. Have I ever let you down before? No... no. No. All rise. The Superior Court of Los Angeles is now in session. The honorable judge William Spitzer presiding. You may be seated. Detective, will you please explain to us, the events that transpired on the afternoon of January 5th. We responded to a shots fired call. And you and your partner were the first on the scene? That's correct. So, what happened next? We entered the warehouse, weapons drawn. At that time, we saw the defendant standing over the bodies, gun in hand. We ordered the defendant to place his weapon on the floor. And what did the defendant do then? The defendant raised his weapon, in a threatening manner. And my partner, thank god he acted accordingly. Which was how? He fired one shot subduing the suspect, till backup arrived. (JUDGE BANGS GAVEL) detective berg, you've been doing this job a long time, haven't you? Seventeen years in august. So, it's safe to call you a vetted detective? I'd like to think so. Six commendations for bravery, three certificates from city hall. That's pretty impressive. I do what I can. Detective, are you aware that the defendant claims that he saw you standing over the bodies of the dead men and that you and your partner are the real killers and not he? Objection, your honor. Hearsay. Overruled. Detective, if you would. If I had a dime for every time one of these scumbags expected us to save them from their own stupidity, I don't think I'd need the city's dime. DEFENSE LAWYER: Objection, your honor. This is anecdotal, it's prejudicial. I mean, is this line of questioning relevant in any way? Your honor, the defense has made it relevant. They are pinning the defendant's fate on the jury finding two upstanding police officers guilty of murder. Now, Mr. Walker. You claim that you saw detectives berg and Jackson standing over the bodies of these men and that you were just there to retrieve, um... what was it? A dolly. Mr. walker, come on. Do you really expect us to believe that two decorated policemen robbed and killed these men and then in a most callous fashion, shot you and framed you for the crime? Yes. I know what I saw. Who's a more reliable witness a man accused of eight murders or one of the city's most decorated detectives? Objection. Your honor, please. Sustained. (BANGING CONTINUES) You're a father, aren't you, Mr. Walker? Yeah. I am. But you're separated from your wife, is that correct? It's just temporary. Oh, really? My records show that it's been over a year. (MUTTERS) It seems pretty permanent to me. Child support is expensive, isn't it, Mr. Walker. So? So my records also show that you have been behind several payments. One more and you lose visitation rights. Is there a point coming any time soon? Yes, the point is, Mr. Walker, you'd lost your wife and now you were gonna lose your son too. All that money next door, it never even crossed your mind? You must've known what was going on. Objection, your honor, we have already established that there is no concrete evidence whatsoever that Mr. Walker had any idea of the goings on next door. What he did have was the motive and the opportunity. Come on, Mr. Walker. You saw what was going on next door and you just couldn't help yourself. You killed those men... Objection, your honor. No! JUDGE: Will the defendant please rise. And how do you find? We the jury find the defendant guilty on all accounts. Sam! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! JUDGE: Order. Sam! JUDGE: Order. SAM: Let me go. Let me go. Order, order. CHRISTOPHER: Sam! No! Please stop. JUDGE: Order in the court. (CHEERING) oh, my god! What are you doing? (OVERLAPPING SHOUTING) Tell them, tell them the rest. Tell them the rest. Oh, oh, yeah, yeah. (SLURRING) so I'm cuffing... Cuffing the guy, and put him in the back of the car, right? (SHOUTING CONTINUES) (SLURRING, GIGGLING) I couldn't get the smell out of my car... Hey, we fucking did it, man. We did it, yeah. Fucking did it, dude. Fucking did it. I'm gonna buy me a fuckin' boat. I'm gonna buy me a big ass boat. Just like, this fuckin' big. This big. Hey, who likes boats? Woo! I hate fucking boats. Boats make me seasick, man. Come on, right. What a pussy. (ALL LAUGHING) Yeah, yeah. What a pussy. Yeah, what a pussy. Whoa. What a pussy. Hey! Hey! Huh, what? Hey, you get your hands off my wife you piece of shit or I'll fucking kill you. Oh, yeah? You're gonna kill me? Freeze! (ALL LAUGHING) Shit. Sorry. Excuse me. Fuck. Get the fuck off me. Don't worry, little bitch. You're gonna feel right as rain. What'd I tell you? Right as rain. (LAUGHING) (COUGHING) look at her, shit. You're a wanker. Get it out, get it out. Right. Just breathe. (COUGHING CONTINUES) Somebody call a nurse. God damn, on top of the world my friend. Mm. Where'd your date go? Hey man, I fucked her in the bathroom, I paid her off, she went home. She was the perfect hooker. (JACKSON LAUGHS) Hey, hey, you know what they say, right? What's that? You don't pay 'em to stay. You pay 'em to leave. BERG: To leave. Absolutely. Anything I can do for you? You know, you guys should really call before you come over. Then I would've at least cleaned up first. (YELLS) one of those guys you killed, is my cousin. (SCREAMS) huh? What? You have nothing to say? Come on! Well, it seems to me like your family tree is really good at producing assholes. He's a funny guy. Real funny. Yeah, you wanna laugh. Okay. We're gonna laugh together. Is this funny to you, motherfucker? You smell that? You smell it? (COUGHING) You're gonna burn tonight, bitch. Roast his ass. I'm gonna fucking roast... (SCREAMS) Do not! Ferdinand, how many times do I have to tell you this is not ol' Mexico and you are not Pablo Escobar? I'm Lebanese, bro. Same difference. Give it up. Get out of here. Don't go too far, sweetie. I'm coming for you soon, bitch. Not so fast. You didn't really think that was the end of it did you? Oh, I wanna be inside you just once more. And tonight I was wondering, would you mind if I shaved your ass? (PANTING) I have a long afternoon planned for us. I'm home, Lucy. (BUZZER BLARING) Man, Chris, you better have a good ass reason for missing pork chop night. Them shits was good as hell, Nig. Anyway, you don't want 'em next time, send 'em my way. Lights out, jimmy. Yes sir, boss, yes sir. The fuck's his problem? Hey! He's got bad diarrhea, boss. Real, real, bad. You know the food 'round here? Matter a fact, I'd do my best to stay up wind if I was you. Yeah, lights out, boys. Bunk up. Yes, sir. Bunk, bunk it up. Don't you worry, dude. I told you I got your back. Yes, sir, you're gonna need ol' jimmy 'round here. I'm gonna be your best friend. (FIRE CRACKLING) Chris, what the fuck's that smell? Oh, oh! Oh! Shit! Shit! Hey, guard! Guards! What the fuck is wrong? (JIMMY SCREAMING) REPORTER: These allegations of corruption have marred the city's once storied police department for months. After over ten indictments being handed down so far the department is left scratching their heads, trying to find an underlying cause for this seemingly rampant misuse of power. Now I'm here live at city hall with commander Rocco of the LAPD. Commander, sir, what exactly can you tell us about this seemingly irreversible trend of corruption that we are witnessing? Well, first of all, I'd like to respectfully disagree with that statement. It's always wrong to judge the many by the actions of a few. But commander, ten indictments over the past ten months, I would hardly call that the few. Well, I'd like to point out that there's an internal investigation currently underway to get to the bottom of these allegations. And until that investigation is concluded, no one will have the full story. Including myself. And I would also like to reiterate that this department is run by caring, talented, intelligent, and well-trained individuals, who as a whole, embody that which is needed to truly serve and protect the citizens of this city. I can assure you those individuals that would use this badge as a cover to perpetrate unlawful activities, their day has come, and justice will be swift. Oh, no. Oh. Hi. Good morning, banks. Oh, do you think it's really safe for him to be playing with that little thing? (GROANS) -despite Jeffrey's IQ, or lack thereof, his loyalty remains unquestioned. Something you know nothing about. You're three weeks late. How many times do I have to tell you to stop this welching stuff. You are an unlucky fuck. But you insist on hanging out at the track, spending my money, picking losers. So, I have to ask myself, why would someone do this to me? Is it because they don't like me? Is it because when you look at me, you don't see a serious individual? You know what, I'm a police officer. And if anybody saw this they might say that it's assaulting a police officer. Yeah, and priests are supposed to be good with kids, but things aren't always what they seem. I'm tell you what, cop, no cop, this is going to happen every time. That is until you wise up and learn that badge of yours, doesn't mean shit if it's standing in the way of my money. (CHUCKLES) (SNAPS FINGERS) (GROANING CONTINUES) Friday, berg. Or we start lopping off parts. Friday, berg. Don't test me on this. Hey now you better listen to me Everyone of you we've got a lot of lot, of lot, of lot Work to do forget about your women And that water can today, you're working for the man (VOCALIZING) Well, pick up your feet We've got a deadline to meet I'm gonna see you make it on time Oh, don't relax I want elbows and backs I wanna see everybody from behind BERG: Ouch, ouch. That's your fault. Ouch. Hey. Good morning. I'm almost done. Okay. All right. What are you doing here, berg? Don't you got a home of your own to go to? BERG: Hey, man. You know, I couldn't sleep so I thought I'd come over here and pop a couple in the misses before you got home. You know. Oh, that's very nice of you. Maybe you can take a shower before coming over next time. Ooh, damn. Is he always this funny in the morning? Oh, I wouldn't know these days. He didn't come home last night. I got stuck doing some paperwork. Yeah, you know, I dropped the ball, so, my man, Jackson covered my ass. As you do. Yeah. Mm, yeah, I'm sure he did. Yeah, well, I hate to interrupt this wonderful awkward moment but we've got a job to do. You know, that you thing you do, like eight days a week. JACKSON: Yeah, I'll meet you outside. Cool. See you in the car. Hey. My man, thanks for that cover story, that shit worked out perfect. Yeah, that's what partners are for. Who was it this time? None of your god damn business. Oh, yeah. You rocking that tranny again. I told you, you gotta check for that adam's apple before you pay up. Yeah, you're the expert. Yeah, right. They need that report in an hour. Jesus, berg, you look like shit. Thank you, commander. I need you guys to get it together. 'Cause I'm sure you've seen the news. A bunch of ungrateful assholes if you ask me. Yeah, well, nobody asked you. Now, I need you both to be on your best behavior. Because as you can see, I kinda got my hands full around here. And a response to all of this bullshit, the mayor has appointed a special task force to investigate police corruption citywide. Yeah, I heard about that. JACKSON: Cocksuckers. What? It's what? Oh, I said, cocksuckers, sir. You know what, that's enough. 'Cause I don't care how you guys feel about this either way, you're both gonna fully cooperate with la just like everybody else. You're gonna give them everything they need, including showing up on time for your fucking interviews. Berg... (CHUCKLES) Don't let me chase you down, okay? 'Cause I'll gladly drag you back here in cuffs if that's what it takes to get this pain in my ass removed. What do they want with us? They want to conduct a simple interview, just like everybody else. Well, there's gotta be a reason. What's the matter with you guys? You know, I'll tell you what, surprise me. Do me a favor, go out and solve a crime, catch a crook, go do something. Act like cops. Should we blow them as well, commander? Berg, let me tell you something right now. I'm not kidding, if they tell you to dress in drag, you break out the fucking lipstick. Commander, there's something that I've been meaning to ask you. You use that expression a lot, and... I guess what I'm trying to say is, is there something that you're trying to tell us? You can tell me. I won't tell anyone. Carry on. He's never laughed one time at anything I've ever said. Hey guys, got something for you too. Give me, give me. Give me, give me, give me. Oh, fuck. Come on, this is a crank. What? Hey, she called, and asked for you by name. If you ask me, I think she's a fucking nut. WOMAN 2: No milk, hope you guys take it black. Yeah, sure. Is this a fuckin' joke? So, Mrs. Valdez, you said that you just found this? That's right, I went out this morning to get the paper. And there it was, right on my porch. If you ask me, I think the good lord is tempting me. Oh, right, by sending you heroin? Honey, you ever tried heroin? No, Ma'am. Then what the fuck do you know about it? So, ms. Valdez, why exactly did you ask for us? The package told me to. Here. See. Uh-huh. So, where do you think it came from? There's a crazy old bitch that has a brick of heroin that we fuckin' stole. Do you want me to calm down? Okay, we don't know that for sure. Yeah, right. It's just a coincidence, that this brick of heroin has the same fucking Chinese shit as the shit that we fuckin' stole. How are you not more upset at this? Where are we going now? Guess. All the money's just gone. All the fuckin' junk, it's just gone. All of last year is down the drain. Fuck this sure as shit is not happening. It is happening. It is happening. No else knew about it except you and me. Fuck, man! You think I took the money? You got a better explanation? Yeah. There's somebody that's fucking with us. Why would I steal from us? I'm in this shit just as deep as you are. And I'm your fucking partner. Oh, shit. $4 million dollars. Really good job. Thank you, sir. Both of you. Really. Okay, everybody. Back to work. Appreciate it, thank you so much. (LAUGHING) Police work at its best, baby. Hey, ladies, ladies, ladies. What's the cackling all about? Oh, not much, just your average 42 kilo bust, that's all. Hah, yeah. Our records say that this was part of a shipment that was stolen last year. Hello? Anybody home? So, where'd they get it shipped from? Oh, some low-level thug. Man, we got him over in interrogation right now. Yeah, but what gets to me is you know, how does a lowlife like him get a hold of this much weight? MAN: We're gonna take a crack at him after lunch. Let him sweat it out a little bit. Hey, you guys wanna come join us? We're gonna celebrate. We got some loose ends to tie up, but we'll definitely take a rain check on that one. Okay, well, suit yourself. But, hey, if you guys are free later, come on by and watch two real detectives put it down, because we are going to lay into that guy. 'Cause I'm tellin' ya, that guy... he's hiding something. Detectives. Congrats, congrats. All to us. Wakey, wakey. Hello? Hi. Sorry to disturb you. I'm berg. I want my fuckin' phone call. You understand? Now, Chavez, I have a very... simple question for you, the drugs. Where did they come from? I don't know anything about no drugs I told your other two partners that I don't know shit. What the fuck, I want my fucking phone call. You know, I am a professional. As a professional, I really kind of pride myself on playing by the book. So, what I'm gonna do is I'm going to play by the book. Okay? Here's the book. And now we're going to play. "Rules regarding tactics of manipulation and interrogation techniques volume three." that's a mouth full. Look, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. I don't wanna have to go to volume four. Oh, sir, I didn't realize you were in here with... no problem. We would like some privacy though, my friend and I were just... just getting acquainted actually. That's the thing, sir. This fuck just posted bail. Shit. Who posted it? You're not gonna believe this, sir, but it was posted anonymously. Anonymous. Interesting. Okay. I guess we gotta let him go. Now, you might wanna get him a band-aid. He had a little boo-boo. What the fuck happened back there? Oh, man, I told you, that barney fire stepped in there, interrupted us before I could get anything. Fuck, he didn't say anything? Nah, he didn't say anything but he knows a whole bunch of shit. So, what the fuck are we gonna do now? Posted, right? Right. He's a free man, right? So you can get anything you want out of a free man. As long as you apply the right amount of pressure. Hey, where you going, bitch? Hey, man. You know me, do you know me? You know me, don't you? You stole from me, right, motherfucker? Huh? Asshole, pendejo... I didn't steal shit from you, man. I didn't fucking steal shit from you guys. You know what? You agitating me. You shouldn't do that. You shouldn't agitate me. Now, if you didn't take the shit, where the shit come from? (SPUTTERS) Man, I don't fucking know. I don't fucking know. I didn't fucking take shit from you. (COUGHS) You don't know anything about the money, hmm? You know what, I got a boy here who will teach you what we do to people who don't know nothing about nothing. Go ahead, boy. Go ahead. You want me to go ahead right now? Uh-huh. Hit him. Listen, man. You gotta fucking believe me. I don't know shit. (JACKSON GROANS) that's it, there it is. See, okay. Behind door number one we have... (POWER TOOL WHIRS) uh-huh. And behind door number two what we gonna do? (BANGING) mm-hmm. You know, fuck you, man. Fuck you! Hey, no, fuck you. I fucking told you, I didn't fucking steal from you. Fuck you. You're fucked right now. You feel that? All right, all right. All right, all right. All right, I'll tell you. It was just there. It was just there. Left on my doorstep. What you say? I was at my house on the couch. Right. All right, I was just hanging out and I hear a fucking knock on the door. I open the fucking door and the shit was just there. And you're thinking it was crazy. That a whole boatload of smack was left on your doorstep? I just figured that somebody wanted me to have it. That's the fucking truth. Are you lying? Why the fuck don't you guys believe me? Oh, shit. He's fucking lying. Why the fuck... No, he's... Berg! I know you're in there. Your car is out here. Help! (MUFFLED SCREAMS) shh. (KNOCKING ON DOOR) BANKS: Berg! Berg, berg? Oh, fuck, this motherfuckin' banks, god damn. The fuck? That's fucking banks? Berg! Yeah, banks. It's a hell of a time for your gambling to be a fucking problem. Yeah, you know something, if they hadn't stolen the fuckin' money, I would've paid off the motherfucker by now. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Oh, fuck. Shh, shh, shh. I'm gonna go take care of it. If he makes a fucking peep, blow his fucking head off. Okay. Okay. Okay. No problem with that one. No problem. Who does your hair, man? Banksy, what can I do for you guys? You can start by telling him to get his fucking ass out here. He's not here. That's fine. Then you won't mind if we have a little look around just to confirm this tale of yours. Do you mind coming back tomorrow... I'm afraid I'm gonna have to insist. All right. What the fuck is going on here? (GUNSHOT) Oh, shit! (EXPLOSION) (RETCHING) What the fuck is wrong with you? Why'd you shoot that fucking piece of shit? You know what, they saw him so they gonna blackmail me. So, they're not gonna blackmail me now, are they, huh? Piece of shit motherfucker. Howdy doody looking motherfucker. Fuck him. Shut up! Shut... Shut up, man! Stop! All right? I can't fucking go home like this. I've got a spare shirt in the trunk. So, fuck it, man. Come on, relax. CHAVEZ: Help! Help me! What are we gonna do with that piece of shit? After all that you're still a piece of... (GROANING) Yes. Easy! Motherfucker! Fuck you. Fuck. (MOANING) Oh, fuck. (MOANING) oh, fuck, yeah. (MOANING CONTINUES) (SIGHS) hey, babe. Hey. Hey. How was your day? If I never see another text book again, it'll be too soon. Whoa, what are you doing? I wanna watch some TV before I go to bed. I'm still pretty wired. What about me? Aw. Poor baby. You know, we're both so busy. I know. I miss you. Come here. (GIGGLES) (CAR HORN HONKING) I'm thinking maybe we should go back to the beginning on this thing. What are you talking about? Maybe go back to that Ci you know. The one who tipped us off to the shipment in the first place. You think that's a good idea? You got a better one? That's where we're going. JACKSON: Whoa, whoa, wait, wait, wait. What's up? Wait, wait. It's flat. You bullshit. It's flat! You bullshit! Oh, fuck! All right, let's change it. Go ahead. You change it. You change the motherfucking tire. (MUTTERING) Is this your idea of a fucking joke? What are you talking about? What? Oh, shit. That wasn't here this morning, man. You think? Yes, official. Somebody's royally fucking with us, right about now. God... What... what are we gonna do now? We're not gonna do shit on three tires, man. Fucking change it. Oh, yeah, that's a brilliant idea, man. Why don't you dig down and get that spare tire from underneath those dead fucking bodies and I'll get the coffee. Shut the fuck up. Shut up. Fuck, this is so fucked. Hi, may I have a number for a tow truck, please. So, I woke up early this morning, to get the DVD and it wasn't there. Okay, you don't think Karen could've... no, she didn't. I watched her all fucking night. She didn't move. This motherfucker was in my house, berg. He was in my house. Look, let's go to your Ci, all right? Get some information and maybe you can get to the bottom of this thing, figure out what the fuck is going on around here. Well, what if he can't? Hey! No! Whoa, hey! The spare? No spare. Necesitamos... nuevo spare. Nuevo. Gracias. You know, be real respectful. Hey, come on. Come on. Nice look. So, this guy's a little out there. So, just me do all the talking. Hey, Jerry. Shh. Is it Tuesday? No, buddy. Today's Thursday. Oh. Can I have a dollar? Jerry, I'm gonna need you to focus, okay? Now, are you gonna let us in or make us stand out here all day? Who's the corpse? Man, have you looked in a mirror recently? Oh, he's got kind of an attitude problem, doesn't he? He does have an attitude problem. But he's cool. Okay, he's my partner. I trust him with my life. I don't like him. His face, it's... it's not good. Hey, fuck you, motherfucker. Look at you. Calm down. Stop. Jerry, Jerry. Yeah? Look, I apologize, he's cool. Please, Jerry, let us in. I need to talk to you, okay? Okay, but don't touch my stuff. I have it organized just the way I like it. He's not gonna touch shit. Okay. Don't touch his shit. No one's touching anything. Okay. Okay. BERG: What the fuck you tell him about my face? JACKSON: Man, get it together. Okay? Fuck him, motherfuckin' Addam's family lookin' motherfucker. Fuck that shit. Talking about my face... Oh, shit. God damn, we're dying up in here, man. Huh, what the fuck is this? What is this shit? Shh. NEIGHBOR: Hey Jerry, do me a favor and shut the fuck up. Just be chill, man. Don't worry about it. So, gentlemen, what do I owe the pleasure of the visit? (POUNDING ON WALL) NEIGHBOR: Shut the fuck up, damn it. Don't make me come over there. Well, so, don't mind her. She's just mad because she weighs... (SHOUTING) 600 pounds! And she's too fat to get out of bed! Ha! I know. The smell, right? Yeah, I know. It's horrible. I don't know how some people let themselves get that way. So, you guys, you guys want some coffee? Yeah, sure. Okay. This motherfucker... can you tell me what the fuck I'm looking at? You're looking at about a stage four hoarder. Get over it. Stage four hoarder and a junkie? God damn, he hit the proverbial jackpot. God... (FAINT CAT SCREECHING) (FAINT THUDS) NEIGHBOR: Hey, look what you made me do to my cat, you made me kill my fucking cat, you asshole. Gentlemen, what can I do for you? Jerry, remember a year ago when you tipped me off to that thing? Oh, yeah. Yeah, the fruits of our labor so to speak. Yeah, right. Well, see Jerry, we were wondering... we were wondering if anybody else knows about this shit? Oh, heavens, no. JACKSON: You didn't tell anybody? No. BERG: Nobody knew about this shit? No. You told nobody? No! But it's funny that you should mention it, because there was a guy who came by here recently and he was asking all sorts of questions about you two. What kind of questions? I don't remember. I know he was just really interested in you. Well, you didn't think that we would want to know about that shit, Jerry? Do you know how much crack I've smoked since then? (CHUCKLES) I'm sorry. My mind's a little bit fuzzy. Jerry... god damn, boy. God damn. Damn it! I hope you don't think that I'm cleaning that up? Oh, well, the thought hadn't really crossed my mind. JACKSON: Jerry. What? Jerry, listen. Is there anything that you can tell us about this guy? Anything at all? Hmm... yes, yes. I think I might know where he's at. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you have a pen? Do you have... A pen! Do you have a pen? Right here. Yeah, here you go. Thanks. Yeah. (MUTTERING) Okay. Ah. Hey. Don't touch my stuff. There. SNORTS: Jerry, this is a strip club. Yeah. Right. 'cause that's where I saw him. No, no, no. Maybe that was another guy. Um... yes. Yes. Yes. Because he said that that's... Because he said that he had the spot right next door to it. How do you know this shit? We got high together a few times. JACKSON: Jerry... what the guy look like? Mm, I'm not really... I'm not really good with faces these days. (COUGHING) god damn. Can we please get the fuck out of here now? Please. Can we please go now? (COUGHING CONTINUES) -we get the fuck out of here. Come on, let's go. What's the matter with you? You asked this motherfucker to tell us everything that he knows. He did. He don't know jack shit. So let's get the fuck out, all right? Unless you wanna stop for some penicillin on the way home, I suggest that we step off right about now, man. Look at this. All right, let's do this, right now. Let's step off. Let's go. Jerry, if you see the guy again what are you gonna do? I'm gonna put you on speed dial. Speed dial. Promise. Hey, no. No. Keep the pen. Keep the fucking pen. Put it in your fucking collection. NEIGHBOR: Keep it fucking down over there. Son of a bitch! Hey, lose some weight! Lose some weight! Lose some weight! BERG: That's five, six, is that the one? Six? Number six? The fucking guy at the titty bar said six. You hear him as well as I did. No need to get snappy. (CRASHES) Go this... god... Okay. Okay. Berg. Yeah? Berg, come take a look at this. Well, what's happening, man? It's him! It's him! What? Hey! What ya doing, Mr. Photographer? What were you doing there, berg? I told you we were following up on some leads. For what, that old woman? You were supposed to have had that wrapped up already. Okay, we did, but we're just, you know, trying to tie up some loose ends, trying to make sure that we're thorough on this. Oh, yeah? Well, while you were being thorough, I had la breathing down my ass all day. Because I told them that my guys would cooperate. But the two of you are making me look like a fucking fool. Your interviews were over three hours ago. With all due respect, commander, fuck that. No, no. Fuck you, my friend. Now you and your sidekick are gonna march yourself down that hall and you're gonna tell that bitch from la everything she asks for. And if you don't, I swear to god both of you will be checking parking meters downtown by lunch. Do I make myself clear? Yes, commander. Yes, sir. Carry on. Detective, can you state your name for the record? Oh. Go ahead. Detective Benjamin Jackson, LAPD. So, detective, do you know of any malfeasance in your department? Not to my knowledge. Okay, so, why don't you tell me why you became a police officer? I guess the standard answer would be I wanted to help people. But that's not your answer? Well, we all like to help people but anyone who tells you that's the sole reason they do this job is lying to you. Well, what's the real reason then? I don't know, you gotta ask them that. Come on, detective, you can't tell me that you think cops operating with impunity is good for anyone. Listen, lady, lot of bad people out there. And every day, we're up to our waists in shit. You think you could do a better job? No one's questioning the need for police. Being a cop's a shitty job. Does the good you do outweigh the bad? It says here that you are a family man. Any kids? No, Ma'am. Is everything all right with your plumbing? My plumbing's fine, not that it's any of your business. (GIGGLES) We haven't gotten around to it yet. I mean, you're more than welcome to come over... Do you want kids? What does it matter? It matters what kind of world they grow up in. How'd you land this gig anyway? I have double degrees in psychology and sociology. With a concentration on criminal behavior and ethics. That's how. So, you're the one who determines what's right or wrong. Yeah, that's why they pay me the big bucks. You know what? What? It's because of people like you that this country's going to shit. (CHUCKLES) oh, no, no, please. I'm sorry, enlighten me. Come in here in your pantsuit, put your nose up in the air... telling us what to do, what not to do. And you talk and you talk and you bitch and you bitch but you have no solution. JACKSON: But I'll tell you what I know, crime or no crime, dirty or not, I'll take any one of those men out there over a thousand of your fancy degrees any day. And what people like you don't understand, is just because you get your hands dirty, that doesn't always make you dirty. (SIGHS) wow. I expected more from you. I mean, if you're gonna sit here and hide behind a bunch of meaningless platitudes, we're gonna be here forever. It's almost like you think we're the bad guys. Cops can be bad just like anybody else. (CHUCKLES) What's so funny, detective? So, you wanna create these categories, this is bad, that's bad. But the truth is, good people do bad things and vice versa. But it doesn't really matter, because it all winds up the same out there. Now, you're gonna have to excuse me if I don't rush to convict my brothers, because some ivy league skirt, who never did a day in the shit, thinks that she can run this thing just because she has read a text that tells her that power corrupts. And you don't think power corrupts? Well, you can't corrupt something that already is. Look, you've been at this station longer than me, I'll give you that. But let me tell you what I've learned. No one is above the law. And those who think they are eventually they get theirs. Well, guess we'll have to wait and see, won't we? You know what, clearly this is going nowhere. So, I'm gonna ask you one last time detective, do you know of any illegal activity in this department? No. Great. How'd it go? How the fuck you think it went, man? Huh. They're just fishing. They got dick on us. Woman knows that. Right, so what are we gonna do now? Let's go to that apartment. Might be missing something. Man, fuck that place. He's not gonna go back there. You got a better idea? Huh, Einstein? I'd rather go to Jerry's house. Hello, detectives. Asshole. No fucking way. You're dead. Not quite. Although I could use a tan I guess. Yeah, get on the ground. Okay, okay. Wow. I'm not resisting. (CHRISTOPHER GROANS) Keep it calm. Go smooth. Go smooth. (GROANING CONTINUES) easy. Okay. Go to piece on him. You're fucking dead. You know, you're really gonna have to get past that if we're gonna move on from here. Really? You're gonna blow my brains out? In front of a police station no less? No. No. I don't think so. Just take a breath, and let's be civilized a moment. There is so much that we need to discuss. (COUGHS) How 'bout we go for a drive, gentlemen? Where the fuck are we going? Gonna get your money, duh. He really isn't the quickest one, is he? East on Ventura, driver if you will. What do you think? If I smell anything bad back there, I'm gonna bury you in the desert. And I'm not gonna kill you first. Oh, fuck. I like that idea. BERG: This is bullshit, man. Where the fuck are we going? 20th and Alameda. Then why the fuck didn't we take the freeway? Cause then we wouldn't have all this time to talk. Hey asshole, nobody here's trying to fucking talk to you. You're pathetic. I'm pathetic? You are pathetic. You fucking moron. Have you looked at yourself? You're a fucking junkie. You had a family, you had a life. Now you're a junkie fuck. What happened to that wife of yours? Is she coming around? She split. Took my son when I went away. Hey, that sucks. Hey, what happened? I thought you wanted to talk. Are you guys not even the least bit curious how I got here in the back of this car, not buried somewhere six feet under burned to a crisp? How'd you do it? One of the guards took a liking to me. GUARD: You really didn't think that was the end of it did you? CHRISTOPHER: So, I made an arrangement with him. In exchange for protection and a few extra privileges. Let's just say he took his arrangement a little too far. I've got a long afternoon planned for us. I'm home, Lucy. Don't worry, sweetie. CHRISTOPHER: In that moment, something came over me. This is not gonna take nearly as long as the last time. CHRISTOPHER: You can only push a man so far. Fucking die. (GROANING) There would have been dental records. There would have been blood type. There would have been an autopsy. How come nobody caught on? As far as the dental records, the funny thing about them is they only really work when the teeth and the jaw are at least partially intact. It was a necessary evil. But you guys know all about those, right? Blood type. As far as that one. Turns out the late guard and I seem to have the same blood type. I guess I got lucky with that one. Once the fire started it wasn't that hard for me to slip away unnoticed. (SCREAMING) BERG: So, you burned your cellmate... you mean my cellmate who drunkenly murdered his four-year-old goddaughter? That one? Yeah. What? Don't be like that, you guys. I'd like to think that you would have done the same thing under the same circumstances. Where to? Take a right. Right here. JACKSON: So, you just disappeared? Not that hard of a thing to accomplish if you try. Why are you sticking your head up now? Detective, I can't tell you how much I hate spoilers. Hey, berg, this is fucking bullshit, man. It's a trap. Come on, man. You got a better idea? Yeah. That's the spirit. Come on, let's get this money and get the fuck out of here. What? I guess we're not gonna get the families together for a little BBQ? Oh, come on, berg. What do ya say? You got someone special in your life these days? Open up the fucking gate. Welcome to my humble abode. Where's the fucking money? Where's the money? Where is it? Where is... You're so pushy. God, relax. Where is it? Okay. Easy. Is he always this impatient? BERG: You know what? You need to tell me where the god damn money is. Where is it? Okay. It's over there. In that cabinet. Don't bullshit me. Yeah, all right. Okay, cool. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yes, yes. Yes! (LAUGHING) ah, shit. Oh, yes. Oh, fuck. Yes, baby. Yes, baby. Huh, told you, I'd bring you to it. Oh, my god. It's a beautiful thing, man. You're a beautiful dude. You're a man of your word. He's wonderful. And you know what, I got like a finder's fee for you. Yeah, here it is right here. (GUNSHOT) (GASPING) You shot me? Yes, I did, I shot you. First you frame me. And now you shoot me, again. You know, I'm really starting to think that I'm the one doing all the giving in this relationship. Yeah, last time, I'm sorry, I shot you wrong. But I got you right this time. Right in the liver and you're gonna die. And I'm gonna watch you die. Hey, man. JACKSON: Huh? Go and put that shit in the car. All right. (CHRISTOPHER LAUGHING) What the fuck is so funny? It's just, it's just you two. It really doesn't take long to see who wears the pants in this relationship. Oh. Well, you enjoy fucking death, we don't have time for your bullshit. I guess you don't want to see the DVD then. BERG: What DVD? (GASPING) Wouldn't you like to know? That DVD means shit to me when you're fucking dead. No. No. Not that DVD. What the fuck are you talking about, man? Uh-oh. It's all fun and games until somebody gets hurt. You better start making some fucking sense. Or what? Huh? You're gonna kill me twice? It's on my desk. Ah, man, come on. Blue case. I can't believe we're dealing with this bullshit. Come on, we gotta get the fuck outta here. Yeah, right there. Attaboy. BERG: Hey, hello, we gotta get the fuck outta here. Shut up. It's only gonna take a fucking second. Hey, I can't believe you're going along with this bullshit. You were in my house. Some detective. That's my fucking wife. I swear to god if you hurt her, I'm gonna fucking kill you. BERG: (ON VIDEO) You've been bad, haven't you? Oh, yeah. (MOANS) you've been a bad girl. By George, I think he's got it. KAREN: (ON VIDEO) Oh, fuck me! What? What? Oh, fuck me! Fuck me! (DVD PLAYER SMASHES) Hey, hey, whoa. Whoa. Hold on. Look at this, man. Look at a what he's trying to do. I can't, I'm too busy watching you fuck my wife. Come on, if it's any consolation, my man, I can tell you this, she loves you. She still loves you. Shut up! Shut the fuck up! You don't get to talk about her! You wanna put down that gun? If you fucking tell me what to do I'm gonna fucking murder you. Shut the fuck up. Shut up, shut up! Shut up, okay? I fucking trusted you. I treated you like fucking family. You were my friend. That's right, man. I'm your friend. I'm your friend. I'm your partner, man. I'm your straight up partner. Come on, J, man. Come on, put down the gun, man. Don't tell me what to do, I'll blow your head off. I swear to god, man, I'm your friend. I'm your partner. That's it. That's it. (GRUNTS) You never had the heart for this shit, did you? She was always too good for your ass. (CHRISTOPHER LAUGHING) I suppose I should thank you, huh? You know, 'cause it is gonna take like, months to get rid of this dude. And you saved me a whole heap of time on this shit. What? Why are you looking at me like that, man? Come on. Why are you looking at me like that, man? You must know that this shit was gonna end up just like this. Here's how the shit went. You got out of prison, right? Came after my partner and me, right? And we followed you to this location, right? And then you resisted. And in the process you and my partner got killed. See, now that's a good story. It's too bad none of it's the least bit true. Facts, truth, right, wrong, illusions. Think what you want but in this life all the road signs read "save yourself." but the facts are decided by the winners. And as always, perception is key. What's so god damn funny? (SPUTTERS) You got it all figured out, don't you? (WHEEZING) Yeah, at this point. There's usually a lot of hollering and screaming and pleading. People saying, "oh, no. Don't. Please, don't. Don't, please." but you're cool. You're not into that pathetic shit, huh? No, it's like, you're satisfied. I'm sorry to disappoint you. Hmm. Say good-bye, motherfucker. Say, good-bye. Berg, drop your weapons. Drop 'em! Turn around! Put your hands in the fucking air. Captain Scott... you're not gonna believe this, but we got the junkie, the guy with the heroin, and he brought us over here and then he stabbed Jackson. It was horrible. I couldn't do a thing. I'm... Arrest detective berg. What are you doing? Someone sent the ip address to everyone. The whole thing was broadcast to the entire station. So, shut the fuck up. Process the paperwork on this one fast. I'm sure there's a lot of inmates who can't wait to see your ass again. Hey! Oh, shit! (MUSIC PLAYS) Ride I used to jump my horse and ride I had a six gun at my side... At ease. As we stand here today, I'm reminded of the many reasons why I took up the lifelong oath of law and order. Now, I was a young man when I took up that cause. The cause of justice. But not a day goes by that I don't remember my commencement. The same ones that got me through the coldest of nights. Now is the time for good people to do the right thing. To behave in a manner in which always reflects the true nature of the goodness that is in all of us. If we allow it. Now, you're not alone in this fight. You are the men and women who took up this cause. And this brave choice will be with you all the days that you work these streets. And in the end, I want you to know, how truly honored I am that my city will be in your very capable hands. But remember... (INMATES CHEERING) COMMANDER ROCCO: You now have the power to change things. INMATE: Fresh meat! Yeah! Please use this power justly. As the rest of us will be counting on you. (CHEERING CONTINUES) ROCCO: Congratulations. And good luck. A cowboy's work is never done (REPORTERS CLAMORING) yes? It's been almost six months since you closed the books on these corruption inquiries, I mean, how much progress has been made, if any at all? I think we made great strides in curtailing this problem. Revamping how the public sees this department and its officers. Commander, what about the charges -yes? Ranging from robbery to murder? Honestly, I'm not here to talk about that. These isolated incidents of rogue police officers has been well documented. But I can tell you something here and now. These are not accurate representations of this department. Today's a new day for the city. So, please, if you'll excuse me. Any further inquiries? Commander, what about the victims' families? How can we be sure this is the end? (MUSIC PLAYING) Oh, I've been watching you And all I can do oh, I can bet on you so, do what you do and on me do what you do down to me (VOCALIZING) Been watching you (VOCALIZING CONTINUES) All that you do oh, I've been watching you And all I should do oh, I can bet on you so, do what you do down to me do what you do down to me been watching you and all that you do (ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYS) (MUSIC PLAYS) Ride I used to jump my horse and ride I had a six gun at my side I was so handsome, women cried And I got shot but I never died (MUSIC CONTINUES) I could play if I do everything he say Girls seem to just get in his way Those days we weren't considered fun A cowboy's work is never done He'd fight crime all the time He'd always win until his mom would break it up And call him in he was tough he was hard But he was kind and he was love 'cause guys like him Were hard to find ride I'd like to ride again some day I think I still know how to play I'd play games now but it's not fun A cowboy's work is never done |
