Brooklyn’s Finest
Life's not a matter 'a right and wrong. It's a matter 'a righter and wronger.
Righter and wronger?
Those are not words, Carlo.
Hey, that's what the judge said.
Judge said that in the, in a court 'a law. He said righter and wronger, right there.
Pledge allegiance, all that bullshit.
And what else the judge say?
Uh, he said, uh, that people would…
you know, protect their lives no matter what. I mean, he didn't say it like that.
You know, he said it in like the fancy legal shit. But, but, yeah.
He said people will protect their lives no matter what. Somethin' like that.
You heard about what happened, right? On the Belt Parkway, you heard that.
-Yeah, I was on the Belt Parkway, like, Sixty-fifth Street and--.
-You were on the Belt Parkway?
Yeah, down by that pier.
And, uh, you know, fuckin' cops pull me over, right?
They give me the breath test.
You know, I'm drunk off my ass.
And they lock me up, right? So, before I go in front of the judge…
my lawyer, he says to me...
he says, you know, you were so drunk, that, uh…
that it's considered a felony. Well, which means I broke parole.
Well, that's seven years.
I mean, no lie, Sal. I, I was, I felt like I was gonna shit a bowlin' ball.
So I finally go in front 'a the judge.
He goes, um, can you please explain what happened?
And I said, your Honor, uh, look, I'm in a bar, I'm havin' a drink. Right?
These two fuckin' guys come in, they, they assaulted me. They bashed me with…
you know, smashed bottles over my head. Yeah, there's bottles over my head…
and, uh, kicked me in the face. And to, to save myself, I, I got in my car.
Uh, uh, I, you know, I ran outta there, I got in my car and, uh, I, you know, I drove off.
Right, and he bought that?
You know, he bought nothin'.
-That's a true story. I got no--.
-Aw, come on.-That's a true story. I got no--.
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
You know, I owed all these bookies, and, um, back then I didn't have nothin' to pay 'em with, so…
so somebody, you know, in the bar called the cops.
But the judge, he's listenin' to this.
And he's, you know, he looks like he's gonna shit a bowlin' ball.
He says that this is not a, a simple case 'a right and wrong…
but righter and wronger.
Because the defendant had to break the law…
to protect his own life.
It's unfuckin' believable.
What happened to the cops?
Nothin'. They were right, even though they were wrong.
And I was wrong, only because that I was right.
You see? You get that now?
-You get that, right?
-Yeah, yeah.And I was wrong, only because that I was right.
You're too much.
You see what I'm sa-
Yo, Tango? You got that shit on deck?
Still very active here at the BK Projects.
Details are sketchy but here's what we know.
A young African-American man named Alan Daniels…
was allegedly shot and killed by police.
We're hearing it was one police officer who was trying to rob him.
-He's a good boy.
-It's gon- it's gon- it's gonna be okay. All right?
He's a good boy.
Residents here are obviously outraged.
My boy. My baby.-It's gon- it's gon- it's gonna be okay. All right?
-Hot out this mo-fo. Police everywhere.
-All right, man. Hurry up, hurry up.
It looks crazy right now. What happened, yo?
-Tango.
-Man-Man. Let me holler at you real quick.
Thought you were going back to school, B?
Come on, Tango. What they goin' teach me in there I ain't already learnin' out here, man?
But you gonna make that court date, right?
-Come on, Tang, you know I'm gonna make the court date, you know I'm gonna make the court date.
-All right, cool.
What's goin' on here, fam?-Tango.
Check it, I don't wanna hear y'all be spendin' y'all guap on these little hookers either, you heard?
Wake up in the mornin' with your dick lookin' like a trophy. Word to mother. Ask K-Rock.
Hey, with me naked you know them bitches is burnin' and shit.
We all goin' in the living room to fuck with the PlayStation real quick. Let me see your pot first too, son.
-What up, Tang?Wake up in the mornin' with your dick lookin' like a trophy. Word to mother. Ask K-Rock.
I did a bad thing.
But to a bad guy.
A very, very bad guy. All right? And for a good reason.
You think that's a rationalization, right? That's what you're thinkin'?
You're here.
Have you prayed for guidance?
No, I couldn't do that.
Why not?
'Cause prayers were not gonna get me what I needed.
Is that more important than your relationship with God?
No matter what you may have done…
he's ready to forgive you.
He is, huh?
And we're all imperfect creatures.
And we're led to sin.
That's why we have to surrender our souls to God.
But to be honest with you, I've been here before, all right?
Asking for God's help. A lot of times. Okay?
And my situation is not gettin' any sunnier, you know?
So, so why should it now?
Your pride is denying the possibility of God's goodness.
Why does he get all the glory? You know?
Why is that? Huh? He gets all the glory, and I get all the blame.
I mean, is it not possible…
that maybe God isn't carryin' his end of the weight?
Look, this thing is obviously weighing on you.
So release it. Confess your sin.
Pray for forgiveness.
I don't want God's forgiveness.
I want his fuckin' help.
Uh, is that so hard? Uh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Let's just, let's do a few Hail Mary's and go. Okay?
That's, thank you. Thank you.
This has been really good, thank you.
Okay, Ma-ha--. Hail Mary, full of grace.
The Lord is with thee. Blessed arst thou amongst women. Blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, amen.
Thank you.
Sal.
All right, everybody, listen up. Give me your ears.
The BK Projects, you all know it.
Eighteen buildings, fifteen thousand residents.
Highest crime area in the highest crime precinct.
Good morning. Sal. Thanks for joining us.
Larceny, rape, prostitution, even takes the crown for kidnapping.
It's estimated that--.
-Yo.
-What do you hear? What do you say?-Yo.
Hey, uh, what do you know about, um, what's his name…
Bobby Palasa's CI? You hear about that?
-Carlo?
-Yeah.-Yeah.
Right. They got any leads on that?
Carlo was a grade A asshole. Everyone's a lead. Why?
-You'd think that would be enough of an embarrassment.-Just, you know.
And now, the media's shoveling shit on our badges…
over the shooting that took place there.
We have to remind the public…
that one man from this unit cannot sustain the sum total of our efforts.
That we are not in the business of harming the public, but of helping it.
We've been entrusted with the responsibility to protect those who cannot protect themselves.
This is where we accomplish that, gentlemen.
Hey, Eddie, what are you doin' here? Bars close early?
I heard you let another cuffed perp escape.
What's that, about six now?
Is he fuckin' laughin' at you?
-Laughin'?
-Yeah.
-You're laughin' at me, man?-Laughin'?
-I just wanna talk to him, man.
-No, just for--No, just for-
Fuckin' burnout, man.
Nobody wants you here, man.
Go. You got my fuckin' Playboy?
-What do you mean? That's my Playboy.
-That's mine.
You boys startin' trouble?
-No, no, sir. No, sir.Go. You got my fuckin' Playboy?
I forget to fill somethin' out?
-Everything went fine. Retirement's gone through.
-Great.
How you doin', Eddie?
You know. -Everything went fine. Retirement's gone through.
You know.
Here's the deal. Our commissioner…
he believes in this new program, puts rookie cops in the highest crime areas.
So they want seasoned hair bags like you breakin' these recruits in.
And since you're the oldest here--.
Hey, look, uh, if it's all the same to you, I got seven days.
God knows you're not, Eddie. But your name came up in the computer, pal.
This thing's been kicked up by two months. And all eyes are on it.
Just do the best you can. Okay?
Come on, Dugan. Don't you wanna do somethin' useful with your last two minutes on the job?
Not really.
What the fuck, Clarence? I been nursin' this seat for fifteen minutes.
Don't call me Clarence.
You order for me yet?
Yeah. Pancakes, eggs and bacon.
-I told you, I have--.-I know, I remember, turkey bacon.
I know that you don't eat the swine.
All right. Drugs are in play. All the principals are accounted for.
I didn't make contact with the connection.
Again with Jersey, huh?
Fuck those racist crackers, man. You know how they do, Bill.
Black men, black car. Profilin' shit.
What am I supposed to do? Just cave into 'em?
I played that shit perfectly.
In all fairness, there was twenty bricks 'a raw in the trunk.
Yeah? Well, they didn't know that.
It's called tact. You know what tact is, right?
I don't wanna play games with you, Bill, all right?
Now you need to push harder about me makin' grade. Talk to the chief.
I know. It's not like you haven't earned it. You've earned it.
-But it's just, I told you that these things, they take -But it's just, I told you that these things, they take
You keep sayin' that shit. But you know that I put in more than a fuckin' 'nough.
What's happening?
What's goin' on? Why is this all of a sudden so urgent? Huh?
When that trooper pulled us over last night…
he gets me outta the car and he's, he's doin' his whole Gestapo bit, right?
My man Beam's in the car all ready. Shotgun, he's on high alert.
Kid in the back, he's lock, cock, ready to rock.
-I ain't goin' back to jail. I'm about to pop this motherfucker.-All right, Beam, hold it, hold it. All right, no, no.
-Ooh, I ain't tellin' you to bust my guns, man. You know I can't' stand these motherfuckers. -All right, fuckin' be cool, man, be cool, man.
And this guy has no fuckin' idea what's about to go down.
You know what I'm thinkin'?
Fuck it.
Let it be.
And then we get back to the P's…
and I see the young brother laid out on the concrete…
and then I find out how?
Next time you're on my road, knock the speedin' off.
I don't give a damn who you are.
I start thinkin', we should'a just dented them motherfuckers on the road.
It'd 'a been two to one, but so what? I'm good with those odds. Fuck it.
You see what I'm sayin'? I'm fucked up in the game, man. You gotta get me outta here.
Desk. Suit. Tie.
It's just somethin' I need, okay? I need that shit like water.
Can you look at somethin' for me?
The kid you saw…
killed in the project, gets worse. He was an honors student.
A grad student.
And the cop who shot him was tryin' to rob him.
So of course when the major newspapers get a hold 'a this, the shit's really gonna hit the fan, if you know what I mean.
-Please tell me they caught the son of a bitch. -Yeah, we caught him.
But, the bosses are gonna wanna find some kind of a thing that's gonna clean this up pronto.
So there's gonna be some kind 'a play that goes down. Some kind 'a play is gonna happen.
I don't know what it's gonna be. But I need to know.
I need to know you're my boy out there.
Oh, I'm your boy, huh?
You know that's not what I meant.
You get in touch with Allisa?
They're divorce papers.
You know, I got some lawyers' names in there for you, a list of 'em.
And I got the department takin' care 'a everything for you, okay?
I want my life back, Bill.
I can see that. And I'm workin' on it.
Please. Work harder.
Captain says you're retiring.
What'd you say your name was?
Melvin Panton. Lance Corporal, U.S. Marines.
Well, Lance Corporal, Melvin Panton…
seven days from today is twenty-two years for me.
Pension doesn't get any better after that.
Seven days from today? That's, that's my birthday.
You've been a cop longer than I've been alive. Ain't that somethin'?
I see you're married. The ring.
We're separated.
You know, I've always wanted to be on the force my whole life. Yeah, it's true.
I had, uh, plastic handcuffs when I was three.
Yeah, every Halloween, I always dressed as a cop.
Probably find that pretty corny, right?
But, hey, I'm here now.
Wait here. Don't touch or do anything. Got it?
Stop with the, with the fingers in the fuckin' face, all right?
Oh, yeah, what are you gonna do?
Stop with the fuckin' fingers.
-You gotta back down. You gotta fuckin' back down. -Every fuckin', every fuckin time, you do that.
-Every fuckin' time you do somethin'. -Get outta my face. Get outta my face.
All right? How ‘bout that?
-What? You know what? You fuckin' piece of dough, you fuckin' start with me. Don't start with me anymore, okay?
-Why do you gotta be all fuckin' excited about it? Get your finger outta my face. Get your finger outta my face! All right, all right?
-Hey, hey! Hey, enough, enough! Step, take a step back! Go on.
-Get your fuckin' hands off him.
-I'm gonna ask you one more time. That's it. You're under arrest.
-Hey, hey, that's good, that's good, that's okay.
Walk, walk, walk away, walk away, walk away.

You do not make an arrest outta zone. Get in the car. -Why do you gotta be all fuckin' excited about it? Get your finger outta my face. Get your finger outta my face! All right, all right?
You've reached Allisa. I can't come to the phone right n--.
Hey.
Yo.
-Hey, calm down.
-Back the fuck away from my car. -Hey, calm down.
Well, what if you turn on the news tonight and she's dead?
I don't watch the news. It's depressing.
You just--.
You just act like this never happened.
This is your first day, kid.
Today a woman gets hit. Tomorrow it's a rape. Day after that it's a murder.
Dad, Dad! What's up, Dad?
You got twenty years of days.
This job takes enough outta you. Don't take it home.
In my book, that's called a coward.
Yeah, well, I'm not much of a reader either.
-I'll eat in the car.
-All right, good. Good idea. -All right, good. Good idea.
-Go on. You're the one who always asks him.

-Go ask him. Go.
-Okay, you ask him. You do it.-No, you're asking him.
He can't get a turtle until you get a room.
That's right. So now you go to the pet store and pick out two turtles ‘cause you boys are gonna have your own room.

Thing like that, it messes people up. They forget what side they're on.
They forget who the real enemy is.
Every now and then we gotta come in and remind ‘em.
Casanova Phillips.
Judge gave this scumbag a get out of jail free card.
We want you to take that card away.
But we need evidence.
You put him on a deal with our UC's and push it through…
provide a location Narco can hit.
Raid supplies the evidence and I get myself a high-profile arrest.
Yeah, well…
I respectfully decline your offer.
What the fuck is this?
You're fuckin' kiddin' me.
How's Allisa?
Your wife?
Oh, I'm sorry. Uh, soon to be ex-wife, right?
Get out. Get out.
It's all right. Thank you. Just give us a minute, please.
I heard she's remodelin' your house. On a cop's salary, huh?
You know, a whole lotta cash has passed through your hands over the last two years.
I ain't stole so much as a nickel since I been on the job. You ain't got shit.
Oh, you do not want me to put a microscope up your ass.
'Cause if I do, I will keep lookin' until I find somethin'.
Or until you plant somethin'?
Watch that.
Now you listen to me.
You think you're a tough guy?
'Cause you did undercover at Clinton Correction?
You even survived a little incident.
If you know so much about me…
then maybe you should stop fuckin' with me.
Now you got a case, bring it.
But until that time, step off.
Dude.
Hey. Hey.
Wait.
Was this shit supposed to be serious? You expect me to stand there and listen to that? Get the fuck outta here.
Don't let her get to you. Don't let her get to you. Okay?
She's about to become the head of the New York Division, too. Can you believe that?
What'd you get outta this, Bill?
-What I get out of it? -Yeah, you gonna upgrade?
-You gonna be sergeant? Captain, what?-Hey.
Take it easy. I'm on your side. Now, I understand that you got a history with this Phillips.
He saved my fuckin' life, man.
Hey. You know why I'm here. You do this, you got Detective First Grade.
It's real this time. Huh?
Approved yesterday.
Office of your choice. Shift of your choice.
All you gotta do is just get through this one lousy thing, huh?
You know, it's always one more thing with you, Bill.
Don't throw this away. Hey.
Tango, wha--? Don't throw this away. This is your life.
All right, let's up the ante. Five buck ante. Let's do it. Let's play like men, huh?
-Put your five bucks in.
-I already did.
So, uh, you guys hear the latest on, uh, Bobby Bowst?
That sloppy fuck.-I already did.
He is so fucked.
Hey, wait a minute. If his old lady moves out on him because of this, I call first dibs.
-Come on. No wives, no girlfriends, man.Hey, wait a minute. If his old lady moves out on him because of this, I call first dibs.
So one of these wiseguys gets, uh, pinched for some drug thing in Jersey.
And to save his own ass, he rats on Bobby for, guess what?
Robbing dealers in Brooklyn. Prick.
If you can't handle the risk, you shouldn't do it in the first place.
Yeah. One bad cop makes us all look bad.
Ronny. Are you retarded? I'm talkin' about the mob guy who ratted him out.
Boy Scouts of America over here.
-Girl Scout. Yo, throw me a couple cookies, huh? -Come on, Ronny.
These wiseguys, they break the law to become wiseguys. Right?
And then as soon as shit goes bad, they break their bullshit mafia codes…
to get witness protection under the same laws they were breaking in the first place.
Well, wait, wait, wait, wait. I wasn't talkin' about the fuckin' mafia. I was talkin' about us.
About cops. I don't know about you, Pat…
but, uh, I think we're too good to take drug money, right?
I say get off your high horse, all right? There's no civilians in the room. You gonna call?
-I'm in, baby.
-Oh, okay.-Oh, okay.
-Shit.
-You too, Brutus? -You too, Brutus?
Yeah. That's it, baby. Give me that money, kid.
I love the smell.
Would you, would you do it? Tell ‘em, Sal. Come on.
We all know where that money goes, all ri--? Better still, we know where it doesn't go.
It's not going to rehab clinics. That money is not going to junkies to help with their families.
It sure as shit is not going to us, all right? ‘Cause I haven't had a raise in four years, all right?
They got millions of dollars sittin' in an office, right…
waitin' to get shoveled to the city's excess fund and you know what that is. Huh?
It's city big shots decoratin' their offices with mahogany desks…
and Persian rugs, right? All with drug money.
We risk life and limb…
takin' and givin' money to scumbags who don't deserve it, all right?
So, far be it for me to wag my finger at somebody's who looking out for himself.
-You, uh, guys wanna take the soapbox away here?-Sal, man.
You brought a tear to my eye right there.
All right. Hey, hey, and fuck you guys. Don't act like you don't know what I'm talkin' about.
I mean, what, what, what's the starting pay? Twenty thousand dollars. All right?
Twenty fuckin' grand. Come on.
Who's gonna raise a family on that?
Hey, all right, that's, that's it.
That's the worst part of it.
All right, the hundred thousand dollars they pay your family if you get killed in the line 'a duty. Huh?
Fat lotta good that does anybody.
You're worth more to them dead than alive, man.
One hundred K. You know what? Shoot me in the fuckin' face. My girl needs a new car. Huh?
Hey, don't you touch that gun.
-It's getting to the point, all right, that you gotta be a fatality to provide for your kids.
-Daddy!-Daddy!
Ah, shit. They, nobody touch the cards or the--.
Sh--, I told you not to come down here. All right? No, I--.
Nobody touch the money, nobody touch the cards.
What are you doin' down here? What Vinny? Vinny, what?
-Daddy, Vinny keeps comin' in my room. I'm trying to get dressed. What are you doin' down here? What Vinny? Vinny, what?
What is that skirt? What are you wearing?
Um, what is this smoke?
-All right. Do you see what I told you?
-Touché.-Touché.
Yeah. All right. Well, here. You and Myeisha take this.
-Go out and, uh, have a good time, all right? I love you. -Go out and, uh, have a good time, all right? I love you.
-Bye, Myeisha. Bye. Have fun.-Bye-bye.
Change that skirt, all right? People start to think we're Catholic only on Sundays, huh?
Yo, yo, yo, Sally, Sal. I didn't realize you were livin' in Harlem.
Yo, watch your mouth.
Mouth, Patrick. All right. We don't talk like that in this house. And I'm--.
I did open my mouth on Malcolm X Boulevard.
-Oh, no you didn't. -Yes, I did, man.
See you later, Dad.
Hey, Pat.
You want me to come over there and kick your ass?
Is that what you want? You know my wife is black.
Of course I know your wife is black. My Shorty is black. Don't we go shoppin' for cocoa butter together?
Now, that's it!
-Get him off a' me.
-You racist prick!
What the fuck is wrong with you, man?-You racist prick!
Fuck you, I'm a fuckin' racist. I would take a bullet for you, Sal.
Don't make fun of my kids. I listen to your shit all day long!
Yeah, come on. Get off a' me!
Go on. What the fuck, Sal?
Take it outside. Take it outside.
Just take him upsta--. Can you take him, take him upstairs for, like, five minutes.
Just give him five minutes.
Now he's fuckin' with my game.
What's goin' on?
Ronny, I'm in trouble.
Okay.
Angie's expectin' twins.
Twins? You lucky bastard. Congratulations.
That's a problem?
Ronny, I ain't got room for twins.
-Sure you do. You've, you got room here. -No, no, no.
Ronny, I don't get a new house, and get some more bread…
I gotta tell one 'a these kids that they gotta move in with my sister. All right? How am I gonna do that?
How am I gonna tell one of ‘em that no, you're the one that's got to go. I can't do that.
You don't have to do that right away, all right?
I mean, how big are twins? They're like this size.
Keep ‘em in a drawer the first year.
Don't worry about it.
You know what I'd give for one?
-I know.
-You're a lucky guy.-You're a lucky guy.
Mrs. Vincent. It's Sal. I have the money for the down payment.
You got the whole thing?
-Well, no. Actually, I, I don't have all the money.
-Is there a problem?You got the whole thing?
No, I, I know the deadline is Tuesday. There's no problem about the deadline, all right? I'm gonna have it well before the deadline.
That's not a problem, all right? Hand to god.
Oh, fuck.
No. All right, you don't, you don't gotta keep thanking me about the violations thing. It's not a problem.
I appreciate it.
Yeah, well, I appreciate you keeping the house off the market for me, all right? Otherwise I couldn't afford it.
Can you?
How can I afford it? Um, you know what, Mrs. Vincent? Do you hear that train?
All right, I got another train coming by in a second. So why don't I just do this.
-Okay. God bless you.
-Okay. God bless you too. Okay?
Shut it down. Shut it down. Shut it down now. Shut it down.
Fuck the police. Shut it!
Back up!
Officer Dugan?
Some guy, I think he's a captain.
He said that the guy I was with yesterday is goin' with your guy, and I'm with you.
I don't know why they keep switching us.
Inside.
No, the other side.
Back up, people! Back up!

And what are you gonna do between now and that pension?
-I'm gonna do the job.
-And what's the job?
The job.
Yeah, right. You know, it's not what you expect.

Everything okay? -Oh, shit, thanks.
Well, your wife has significant traces of wood mold in her lungs.
Wood mold?
Okay, when you have mold inside your house, the particles travel in the air.
Yeah, No, I know all about the mold.
Well, in your wife's case, because of her asthma…
her lungs are working three times as hard as they should…
which is jeopardizing her and the twins.
One of the babies is significantly smaller than the other.
-But they're okay though?-For now.
