Street Kings Page #3

Synopsis: LAPD detective Tom Ludlow is a ruthlessly efficient, unorthodox undercover cop. Captain Jack Wander always covers for Tom, as do even his somewhat jealous colleagues. After technically excessive violence against a vicious Korean gang during the liberation of a kidnapped kid sex slave, Tom becomes the target of IA's hotshot, captain James Biggs, who feels passed over after Wander's promotion to chief. Tom's corrupt, disloyal ex-patrol partner Terrence Washington sides with IA but is killed during a shop robbery in Tom's presence.

the kick that I will give you if you do not sit down.

Sit down. Do it, it is right.

What happens to you?

Not, I repeat, not

facilitate Washington.

I know that they did both dirty things.

But we must support

the appearances.

We have already happened for this.

When the doors of the hell

they were opened before you...

... I took care of you and I will take care of you now.

In agreement?

Yes.

Washington.

- Throw her!

- What do you do?

- Are you going to kill me?

- We have 211 in progress!

I have them to you and to Wander.

Idiot!

We have two armed vandal ones!

Curse!

Washington, friend resists.

Do not move!

Hands arrive!

I am a police officer!

I am a damned police officer!

Curse! It is Ludlow.

It calls to an ambulance.

Curse!

Also is it a police officer?

Yes.

Where is the video?

- Who more saw this?

- only we.

- 211 that it left of control.

- not, it was not that. This is what seems.

This is not what seems.

Everything is there, Tom!

This seems is what they all see!

If the Department sees it,

you will not be already a police officer.

The Department?

If the district attorney sees it...

... you will go to prison.

Because Washington was in

place and wrong moment?

Not, for that you were.

The problems of Washington

they were finished, it yours they begin.

He tries to think earlier for once.

Biggs will say that you hired

to two criminals in the street...

... so that they were killing a police officer

that was betraying you.

- only he wanted to break the jaw.

- good response.

I gave you the direct order

of that you will move away from him.

Give me your damned gun.

Give me your damned gun!

We know that you do not matter for yourself, Lud.

He thinks about the Unit, you ruin us.

Clady, give me a minute please.

I cannot lose you.

Who will do what you do?

You are the top of the spear.

Who will control to the animals?

Perhaps...

... the teller...

... he forgot to put the disc today.

Perhaps you were the first one in

to come to the scene and you helped...

... to Washington.

I will go out.

I will do a few calls.

Perhaps...

... that is not...

... when I returned.

He was my ancient partner.

We were one target and black one

in the middle of the racism.

The white police officers were not helping us

for he and the blacks for me.

To the devil with them!

We survive.

You tried to save it.

You did what you could.

What I could? It was covering me

while they were shooting him.

We should have killed them.

How can they lie

and to change this way the facts?

We are the police.

We can do what let's want.

It is not important what it happens, the important thing

it are how we inform it.
