(Thug 1 )

Come on, a**hole.

You wanna play?

Come on.

[releases hammer]

You wanna apologize?

l'm sorry.

(Thug 2)

Ugh.

(Frank)

Did you hear him?

l'm sorry!

(Thug 1 )

Come on, let's go.

(Thug 2)

Oh, man.

(Thug 1 )

Shut up!

Have a nice day.

Sergeant, wait. Please.

l - l want you to meet my

beautiful niece, Adrianna,

say hello to the

Sergeant, my darling.

He protects

our neighborhood, makes

everybody feel safe.

Thank you.

Pleasure to meet you.

l'm sorry, uncle. l must go,

l'm really not feeling well.

(old man)

Wait, Adrianna,

come back! Wait!

Listen. Any problems,

give me a call. Okay?

Uh, later, later.

Come back later.

You should get to know her.

She's a very good girl.

Take care

of yourself.

Thank you.

Got your cuffs, Ross?

Good.

Look, l'm sorry

l really screwed

up back there.

l don't know what

happened, l mean,

it's Cop-10 1, right?

You cuff a guy and,

I don't know what

l was thinking.

lt's okay, Ross.

Don't worry about it.

Yeah?

lt's okay.

Okay. Thanks.

Can l ask you

a question, Sargent?

Yeah, sure.

That was

extortion back there.

Why didn't you

push the old man

to press charges?

And spend

all morning downtown

filling out forms?

l don't think so.

Yeah?

Yeah, l'll be there.

There's, uh, something

l gotta take care of.

You stay here.

(male)

Club and fries

are up. Pick up.

Hey, Frank.

Captain.

You hungry? Want

something to eat? My treat.

No, l'm,

l'm good, good.

Sit down.

Thanks.

(Frank)

[clears throat]

[inhales and exhales]

You know, Frank,

We know.

You know?

You know what?

[sniggers]

Don't play me, Frank.

Not anymore.

You don't mind

if l check for

a wire, do ya?

l like to know

who l'm talking to here.

Christ, Frank, l thought

you were one of us.

Huh? You know,

it's not too

late to still do

the right thing here.

What we're looking for

is a little fairness, Frank.

You've been

on the Direct Action

Unit for three years now.

You know what

we're up against

with these gangs.

Look, l know some

bad things went down

but that's over now, okay?

The guys that are responsible

are off the Unit.

Okay? We're

handling it internally.

You go outside,

you spill your guts

to the Federal Grand Jury

and what do you do?

What do you accomplish?

You bring all this

ugliness down on us

on yourself,

for nothing.

Theft. Extortion. Murder.

You call that nothing?

Look, Frank,

if it wasn't for us

these streets

would be in chaos.

We're holding

this city together

like f***ing super glue.

You're not

looking at the big

picture here, Frank.

Now l'm prepared

to offer you Fred's job.

Okay? A promotion

to Lieutenant.

Or, we'll give

you a six figure
