Roman:
No. I'm...

blanco, release it.

Officer:
Drop your weapons

and put up your hands!

- A little help!

- We shot three.

We need help!

- Run!

- Now!

Man:

Call for backup, now!

You stupid, stupid a**holes.

Get down!

Man:
Officer down!

- Come out right now!

- Eat a dick, pig!

You ready for 9/11 part two?

Man:
Grenade! Go!

No, Jesus, no.

Officer:
Cover me!

Man:
Good night.

Roman:

Eight ball, corner pocket.

Man:
Throw down your weapons!

Roman:

Pig, this is what I'll throw!

Man #1:
Go, go, go!

Man #2:
Dispatch,

multiple 10-53s.

Officers down!

Man:
Freeze!

Hands on your head, now!

Don't move, a**hole!

Give him jewelry.

You want to burn it?

You want to wipe your ass

with it?

You want to cut it up

in little pieces

and send them to putin?

I have one over my front door.

So you're a patriot?

You mind if I sit?

I'm going to assume

that's rhetorical.

Would you rather I leave?

I'm not gonna tell you

anything you want to hear.

And prison will give me

plenty of time

to look at guys I don't like.

What is it that you think

I want to hear?

Hmm?

The names of your associates?

The people who profited

from all your hard work

while they wiped

their dirty asses with that?

You can pretend you don't hear,

but I saw that video.

I saw how you took down

those lowlifes

when they went up

against the police,

even though you could've

got away clean.

I knew before you told me

that you got an American flag

in your home.

You probably got more than one.

I got two.

Because of your

selfless actions,

no police were killed

in that event,

which tells me

that you know the difference

between right and wrong

and that you have

a moral compass.

So help us. Give us some names.

Or give me one important name.

Who are you working for?

I work alone.

Watkins:

Who supplies your crystal?

Some guy.

- Some guy got a name?

- I forgot.

Would you remember

if I showed you a list of names?

Don't like to read.

Won't even see a movie

Well, what would happen

if I read them aloud?

You wouldn't even have

to say anything.

Just nod your head

up and down.

I'll narrow it down for you.

What's your name?

Detective Lawrence Watkins.

That wasn't it.

You find this humorous?

Your tricks are.

Every once in a while,

I see a man in that chair

who could just as easily be

on this side of the table,

a man principled,

who had a run of bad luck

and just went the wrong way.

I'm not gonna talk.

I know that this

is your first offense,

but you're looking

at four years, maybe five.

Do you know

that drug traffickers

actually serve those sentences?

I'm aware that the system

is harder on guys

that distribute drugs
