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.

He's also got a problem: he's witnessed a Mob murder, so a local boss wants to ensure that Marty doesn't talk. The boss's plan is Marty's destiny. But Marty, like the boxer he used to be, wants to fight back against fate. He goes to Lena, his girlfriend, but she's had it with his unreliability; his sister, a dancer at a strip club, is done lending him money. He still talks a great game, but his Utah plans may be the pipe dream of a punch-drunk guy on his way out. He seeks out Lena for a last shot. Is there any way the sweet but simple Marty can avoid his destiny?
