The f***er went for Strom's gun.

Bullshit.

Now, maybe those two guys

went too far tonight.

Maybe it was all a mistake.

But next time it could be you.

So, you know,

you don't ever roll over...

and you never rat out

a fellow officer.

And you never...

never break the code.

Knock, knock. We're here.

- Hospital?

- Yeah. Come on, boy.

We'll get you all fixed up.

Wanna have a little party? Hmm?

You see, you were right

about one thing.

The cops are dealing drugs

in the sixth precinct.

But you're never gonna

tell about it, are ya?

- Think that's enough?

- Just put 'em in the trunk.

Clarence!

Bring them to me.

Bring them to me!

Clarence, bring them to me.

I will.

Welcome, officers.

For a minute,

I thought you weren't gonna show.

Man, he looks like

fly-covered sh*t.

You look like fly-covered sh*t.

Haven't seen you in a long time.

I've missed ya, pal.

You had the number. You should've

reached out and touched a brother.

You could've told him how to reach out

and touch a brother, Strom.

Now, Clarence...

Clarence Smith... come on.

Come on down from the grave.

Now, let me ask you this, son.

What the f*** did you call us

out here for, huh?

- A celebration.

- No, answer me, boy!

What'd you call us out here for?

- To celebrate.

- What are we celebrating tonight?

Our anniversary.

Our anniversary.

You remember, don't you?

One year ago today.

I fell for your bullshit.

I actually believed...

that Strom and Billy were gonna

take Moorehouse to the hospital.

Shut the f*** up!

You don't get it, do you?

We tried to take him,

and he didn't wanna go.

- You understand?

- Let's cut the sh*t, Strom!

- Shut the f*** up, boy!

- Cut the sh*t!

That story never did

make any sense.

- Just save it.

- Save it for who?

Hey, Clarence,

if we go down, you go down.

That's right, Clarence.

You go down.

You guys killed a good man,

and you ruined his name!

I should've turned you in

instead of just quittin' the force.

- You quit because you're a p*ssy.

- You're a goddamn p*ssy.

So I thought the least we could do

is pay our respects.

What do you mean "pay respects"?

Pay Martin Moorehouse

a little visit.

Or are you too much of a p*ssy

to visit him?

A f***in' fruitcake.

How are we supposed

to visit a dead guy?

Are you saying you want us to go

out to Moorehouse's grave with you?

- That's exactly what I'm saying.

- Excuse me.

F*** you.

If we go, will that be the end of it?

You'll be satisfied?

I'll be totally satisfied.

Well, in that case,

I don't think there's a problem.

- I got no problem.

- You guys agree?

Follow me, fellas.

- Lead the way.

- Let's go.

- Hey, what the f*** are we doing?
