1999
Idealistic rookie Jake Hoyt begins his first day as an LAPD narcotics officer, partnered with the charismatic but corrupt Detective Sergeant Alonzo Harris. Alonzo immediately tests Jake's resolve by forcing him to smoke PCP, participate in street justice, and buy drugs, all while explaining his cynical philosophy of policing. The day escalates as Alonzo involves Jake in a series of increasingly illegal activities, including a fake search warrant that leads to a shootout and the murder of Alonzo's associate, Roger, during a staged raid. Alonzo then abandons Jake in a hostile gang territory, intending for him to be killed, but Jake earns the gang's respect and escapes, returning home injured but alive.

Jake Hoyt, Lisa HoytRotties are good dogs. Dobermans are better. Spooky raised Dobermans. On my second week of patrol, when I was not knowin' shit, we roll by Spooky's one night. I observe this old, black fool, named Too Fine, all drunk, beating the shit out of this female Doberman. Beautiful dog, seven months old. Too Fine's whoopin' her with a garden hose. This dog's just crying, shaking. I grew up with Dobermans. I was pissed. I tell my T.O. 'I'm gonna take him.' And my T.O. is like: 'No, no. It's cool.' He fuckin' waves to Too Fine and this motherfucker smiles and waves back and keeps hitting the dog. Thought I lost my damn mind. Tells me Spooky gave him twenty bucks to beat the shit out of it. My T.O., this good 'ol boy, looks me in the eye and says: 'Teaches 'em to hate niggers.' Almost quit right there. Almost got out of the fuckin' black and white and took the bus home.
But it doesn't die. It eats some grass. Slowly heals. Grows a new shell. And after a while it can crawl again. One day the snail up and heads back to the front of the house. Finally, after a year, the little guy crawls back on the porch. Right then, the man walks out to go to work and sees this snail again. So he says to it, 'What the fuck's your problem?'
Pussy motherfucker. Gonna see your ass again. Gonna fuck you up, bitch. Won't see shit coming. Creep like a ninja and crack your head open. Blow your house up. Punk-ass white boy. Now you in my world, motherfucker.
You gotta control your smiles and cries. No one can take them away so... they're all we really have.
You fucked up! My cousins are from White Fence. They're gonna blast you fools! Pinchi mayates!
