Plot: 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.

Quotes:

Captain James Biggs: Doesn't it bother you that there are two cop killers out there?

[first lines]::Boss Kim: Yo dawg.::Tom Ludlow: Konnichiwa.::Boss Kim: What?::Tom Ludlow: Konnichiwa. Konnichiwa. It means what's up. So what the fuck's up?

Thug Kim: [upon seeing a huge gun in Ludlow's trunk] The fuck is this? We said a machine gun.::Tom Ludlow: It is a machine gun.::Boss Kim: The kind you can carry.

Thug Kim: Konnichiwa is Japanese. It's insultin' to Koreans.::Tom Ludlow: How am I supposed to tell if you can't?::Thug Kim: Fuck's that supposed to mean, white boy?::Tom Ludlow: It means you got eyes like apostrophes, you dress white, talk black, and drive Jew. So how am I supposed to know what kind of zipperhead dog-munching dink you are if you don't?::Boss Kim: Yo. D'you know who the fuck we are?::Tom Ludlow: Yeah. You're a couple panheads buyin' a machine gun out of a trunk.

Detective Cosmo Santos: [to Ludlow] How can you shoot a guy taking a dump? I mean, seriously, that's sacred. That's like shooting a man in church.

Captain Jack Wander: This shit's crazy! You fucked them up! This is beautiful. And that machine gun shit - that was perfect. I know you hated waiting, but it's better this way. You alright?::Tom Ludlow: Yeah I uh... I got shot.::Captain Jack Wander: Yeah, but you're okay?::Tom Ludlow: Yeah, I'm okay Jack.::Captain Jack Wander: Because I know you're not tripping over these assholes right here. Fuck 'em. Screw 'em. You went toe-to-toe with evil, and you won.

Detective Terrence Washington: If it ain't L.A.'s deadliest white boy.::Tom Ludlow: Aren't you on the wrong side of the yellow tape?::Detective Terrence Washington: Congrats on four more notches for your gun belt. I'll be praying for the families of your victims.::Tom Ludlow: They're called suspects. The victims are the fourteen-year-old schoolgirls the suspects kept in a cage and sold to chickenhawks to poke, prod, and put on the Internet. Suspects, Washington. Suspects.::Detective Terrence Washington: As evil as those men were, they had a right to trial. There's gonna be some blowback from the Korean community on this one.::Tom Ludlow: Now that you're all militant, why don't you just say it? You think I'm a racist.::Detective Terrence Washington: You have another explanation?::Tom Ludlow: No I don't. Because if I roll and determine the suspects are black, yellow or brown, I'll blow 'em out of their socks. But if they're white, I'll give 'em a ride home. You know why? 'Cause I'm a racist. Fuck you.::Detective Terrence Washington: Man, I would give my right arm to have that shit on tape.::Tom Ludlow: What happened to you, Terrence? We used to be brothers.

Tom Ludlow: [to approaching nurse] I'm waiting for nurse Garcia.::Captain James Biggs: I did the same thing with this girl once. She was a waitress at a jazz bar. I'd sit in her section, wouldn't let anybody else serve me. She's change sections, I'd change tables. Persistance...::[holds up wedding ring]::Captain James Biggs: ...that's the key.

Captain James Biggs: Insurance, Tom. I sell insurance. If you ever need any, and you will, why don't you give me a call. No one has to know but us. Not Clady, not Wander, no one.::[hands Ludlow his business card]::Captain James Biggs: Listen, for your own good, don't get yourself so far out there that I can't reel you back. See you sometime.

Grace Garcia: [referring to Biggs] Who was that?::Tom Ludlow: A cop who burns cops.

Quotes:

First Officer Roger Pettit: This is it. This is a losing battle trying to de-ice these things. It gives you a false feeling of security, that's all it does.::Captain Larry Wheaton: Yeah, but it satisfies the Feds.
