End Of Watch
1
I am the police.
And I'm here to arrest you.
You've broken the law.
I did not write the law.
I may even disagree with the law.
But I will enforce it.
No matter how you plead,
cajole, beg
or attempt to
stir my sympathies,
nothing you do will
stop me from placing you
in a steel cage with gray bars.
If you run away,
I will chase you.
If you fight me,
I will fight back.
If you shoot at me,
I will shoot back.
By law, I am
unable to walk away.
I'm a consequence.
I am the unpaid bill.
I am fate with
a badge and a gun.
Behind my badge is
a heart like yours.
I bleed. I think. I love.
And, yes, I can be killed.
And although I am but one man,
I have thousands of brothers and
sisters who are the same as me.
They will lay down their lives for me.
And I them.
A thin blue line.
Protecting the prey
from the predators.
The good from the bad.
We are the police.
13X-ray 9 is in pursuit
of a Code 37 vehicle west on 2-7.
Go ahead, motherf***er.
Try to run, you son of a b*tch.
Hold on,
hold on, hold on!
Eastbound through the alley at
Now eastbound
through the alley
at 20 hundred
block from Hooper.
Oh, sh*t!
Come around, come around, dude!
Come around!
Move! Move! Move!
Get the f*** around, dude!
Pull to the right!
Pull to the right!
Bro, he's not
gonna pull to the right.
You stupid motherf***er!
Man, he almost lost it!
Pit him, man!
Pit him, pit him!
Got him!
F*** you!
You good?
Good, good, good.
This f***er's down.
I'm going to hook him.
You're all good.
13X-ray 9,
you can show a Code 4.
13X 9 requesting
additional supervisors
to the 4,000 block at Naomi.
Holy sh*t.
All right. This is my
day job. Some of you...
Sorry, bro, I'm recording.
This is my day job. Some of
you might know me as Brian.
Or Taylor.
But here I am Police
Officer Two Brian Taylor.
This is where
the forces of good
prepare to fight
the forces of evil.
This is my partner,
Officer Zavala.
I'm in my chones, dude.
I know, dude, come on, come on.
I'm in my chones. No.
Come on, man.
I'm good, bro.
We work basic patrol
here at Newton.
One of the toughest
divisions in the LAPD.
Shootin' Newton, baby, that's right.
Lucky 13.
This is a department-issue sidearm.
Glock 19.
Spyderco tactical knife.
break windows, here.
Can of OC spray.
Pepper spray.
Two extra mags.
What else?
That's my nametag, here.
You can see my
partner's dirty locker.
Yours is like a woman.
Look at this.
What is this, Pottery Barn?
Are you gonna shut the f*** up
and get ready for roll call?
Dude, don't swear, man. I have to
edit that out, when you swear.
Oh, f***. Oh, sh*t, dude.
F***, man.
Okay, now in Spanish.
Hey.
You kids having fun?
Oh, look,
it's Officer Van Hauser.
Officer Three.
Van Hauser.
Considered un-promotable
by the department.
And the angriest f***ing
cop in the world.
Taylor, I'm gonna tell Sarge
that you're taping in here.
- What'd you say?
- What?
I'm gonna tell Sarge
that you're taping in here.
Oh. Yeah, well, it's not
It uses flash cards,
but it's not really a...
God damn it!
Hold up, hold up.
Like that?
Mmm-hmm.
Turn it on.
So, am I recording you?
Yes, dude,
and I'm recording you.
Oh, that's so cool.
See that thing there?
Yeah.
That is the lens right there.
Just like that on that,
this right here.
Hey, guys, quiet down.
All right, let's settle down.
Let's settle down.
Captain's here, he'd like to say a few words.
Let's quiet down.
Thank you, Sergeant.
Good afternoon.
Good afternoon.
Put it down.
I'd like to welcome
back Zavala and Taylor.
in last month's shooting.
Turned out to be
a good shooting.
I know first-hand what
you guys went through.
It's an unpleasant experience
being under that much scrutiny.
But you need to
remember something.
An on-the-job shooting is
still considered a homicide.
It's never an easy ride.
If you do the right thing,
I will always have your back.
Do the wrong thing
and cross me,
I will personally
throw you under the bus.
- Am I clear?
- Yes, sir!
Taylor, am I clear?
Yes, sir.
Sergeant, am I clear?
Yes, sir.
- Have a nice day.
- Thank you, Captain.
Quiet down! See this?
It's a ticket book.
Inside are
things called tickets.
Son of a b*tch.
You can do things like
stop motorists and cut citations
for speeding or
going through a light.
You all need to write.
Sarge, we cut
citations every watch.
I'm not talking to you, I'm
talking to these two idiots.
- My partner has a question.
- Yes.
I don't really
know how to write.
But I do sign
and draw pictures.
Seriously, you
don't start writing,
Captain's gonna sh*t on my head
- and in turn, I'm gonna sh*t on your head.
- Hmm.
And I promise you, you guys
are gonna be separated.
Do it, Sarge.
Orozco
and Davis, X 25.
Peterson and Washington, X 41.
Zavala and Taylor,
you got X 13.
Williams and Cho, X 8.
Alameda and Green, X 21.
Van Hauser and Sook, X 4.
Yeah, Sarge?
That's not our area.
That's not your area?
No, we work 9.
Oh, I'm sorry, fellas. Oh, no, you're right.
You're on X 13.
Sorry, fellas,
this isn't Monopoly.
You don't get to
choose your real estate.
Now go. Get out.
Zavala, try not to kill anybody
before the end of the watch.
Really, Sarge?
Sarge, if we kill someone
in X 13, can we go back to X 9?
Today
is a brand new day.
Get the shop, gas the
shop, wash the shop.
Make sure day watch didn't leave
behind any surprises for us.
Look for guns, drugs, puke.
Pay attention, Boot.
- Goodbye. Hurry up.
- Yes, sir.
How you doing,
Van Hauser?
I warned you
about that sh*t.
Where you running
with that piece, Boot?
What?
Why you so scared?
Go, go! Jesus Christ!
Go on, sh*t.
Jesus! It's like it's day one.
Boot, slow down with that piece.
Slow down!
Orozco, have
you been working out?
Yeah, with your mom. Why are
you shooting everything?
It's for his class.
I thought you
were studying law.
Pre-law.
I need an art elective.
I'm taking filmmaking.
Well, get my good side, eh?
You don't
have a good side.
Listen, you know they
can subpoena that sh*t
if something goes
sideways, right?
Think twice.
Two words. Erase button.
Two words. Just
'cause you guys think
you're these big
ghetto gunfighters now,
don't mean you can be
dropping your calls.
That was at least
two dozen words.
Yeah, well, I barely got a GED,
so what do you expect,
white boy?
Unbelievable.
Saddle up, ladies, we're
sick of holding up your end.
Admit it,
you'd hit that sh*t.
Orozco?
Yeah.
With a cinderblock.
Check the roof, Boot.
Where's your shop?
I got Red Bull, Monster and...
They all say 13,
check the roof.
Thank you, ma'am.
Faster, Boot, let's go.
Get in the car!
Yes, sir!
And then I got
you some kombucha
'cause I know you
like that stuff.
