Aww, you motherfuckers. Okay. Alright. I’m putting cases on all you bitches. Huh. You think you can do this shit… Jake. You think you can do this to me? You motherfuckers will be playing basketball in Pelican Bay when I get finished with you. SHU program, nigga. 23 hour lockdown. I’m the man up in this piece. You’ll never see the light of… who the fuck do you think you’re fucking with? I’m the police, I run shit around here. You just live here. Yeah, that’s right, you better walk away. Go on and walk away… ’cause I’m gonna’ burn this motherfucker down. King Kong ain’t got shit on me. That’s right, that’s right. Shit, I don’t, fuck.

So, where’s the office? Back at division?

You’re in the office, baby.

This shit’s chess, it ain’t checkers
– Alonzo Harris

Motha fucker. You shot me in the ass.
– Alonzo Harris

How much money was in that bag?
– Jake
40 G’s.
– Alonzo
What was that for?
– Jake
You really wanna know?
– Alonzo
Yeah. I asked, didn’t I?
– Jake
Nothing’s free in this world, Jake. Not even arrest warrants.
– Alonzo
Shit, I didn’t wanna know.
– Jake

Who are you?
– Jake Hoyt
I’m the zig-zag man, who the fuck are you?
– Alonzo Harris
I’m a cop.
– Jake Hoyt
Watch out… don’t shoot nobody.
– Alonzo Harris

Use your ears and hear me, Jake. Sometimes we gotta take this shit all the way. Now, nobody will ever ask you to pull the trigger if you don’t want to.
– Alonzo Harris
Mark, where are you transferring to?
– Alonzo Harris
S.I.S.
– Mark
S.I.S. Detective. Give me 18 months, I’ll give you a career. We’re an elite unit. We make the big seizures. We make the big arrests. But if you’re in my unit, you gotta be in it all the way or not at all. I thought that you was man enough to face that. I guess I was wrong. Five proven, decorated officers say that you’re the shooter. The investigators are gonna want to pull a tube of your blood to check for intoxicants, and what are they gonna find, Jake? Do the math. You’ve been smoking PCP all day, haven’t you?
– Alonzo Harris
You’ve been planning this all day?
– Jake
I’ve been planning this all week, son. You talk that crazy shit, I’ll make sure that blood gets to the lab. You wanna walk your baby nuts around the block, you won’t make it to the corner, but if you’re cool, if you’re cool… then you’re a hero. You’re a virgin shooter above suspicion.
– Alonzo Harris

Boom!
– Alonzo Harris

But, I don’t believe you. You tapped that ass, didn’t you. C’mon, tell the truth, you know you tapped that ass. You put her in the backseat, BAM. Code-X.
– Alonzo Harris
Look man, I got a wife.
– Jake Hoyt
You got a dick. You do have a dick, don’t you? Okay, the dick lines up straight like that right? To the right of it and to the left of it are pockets, right? In those pockets are money. Look in either one of ’em, pay the bill.
– Alonzo Harris

Hoyt. Hoyt. Hoyt… Strong Saftey. North High. I follow all the good players.
– Roger

Yeah whatever. Whatever the fuck ever.
– Alonzo Harris

Shit, you can shoot me, but you can’t kill me.
– Alonzo Harris

Civil rights violatin’ mothafuckas.
