Exterior scene · night · a house facing the street; former
Hollywood police officer Bud White and a The companion was sitting in the police car, his eyes fixed on the house across the road. From there, there were intermittent fighting sounds from time to time. The companion sitting in the back seat was called Dick Stans. He held a flat wine bottle in his hand and said to Bud with some disdain: "You rely on that list, but the people on it are nothing. Good thing!"
Bud's hair was shaved very short and looked very lean. But his unsmiling appearance reveals another formidable fierceness. At this time, his eyes were still fixed on the house on the street, and he said: "He was released from prison two weeks ago!"
Stans still disapproved: "These accounts will be calculated later, we have to take the rest of the wine. After that, he raised the bottle in his other hand and took another sip.
Bud ignored Stans. He picked up the wireless microphone in the car and called to the duty room: "Hollywood, this is 6-A-7, please send a patrol car to 4216 Changqing Street to arrest the suspect who violated the parole order. They will see him. "
Stans, who was sitting behind, laughed at his report. Bud ignored him, he opened the door and got out of the car without saying a word, and walked towards the house.
Through the window, you can see a man and a woman fighting in the house, "Don't cry..." "Shut up..." The man's rough voice kept coming from the house.
Bud stepped forward with a sullen expression. He saw the colorful animal-like lanterns decorated on the roof, he stretched out his hand to grab a hanging rope, and pulled hard. The lantern rolled down from the roof and shattered in a burst of sound. .
The man in the room heard the loud noise outside, pushed the woman away, and walked out. This is a stout man. He stared at Bud fiercely: "Who are you?"
Bud looked at him coldly and said: "Christmas ghost passing by. Do you want to change your taste and dance with a man?"
"You are an unreasonable person!" The man said, raising his arms and punching at Bud. Come.
Bud deftly bent over and flashed the man's fist, then swiftly hit the man in the face, then grabbed his shoulder and hit his stomach with his knee. The seemingly powerful guy can only scream for a while. Bud then gave him a push, threw him on the porch, then rushed up and handcuffed him to the railing quickly.
Bud leaned down and said to the man: "You will be released from prison in a year and a half. I will be very familiar with your parole officer. If you touch her, I will sue you for raping the little girl. You know how you are treated in prison. People!"
At this time, the woman in the room also walked out in a panic. This is a young girl. She avoided the two men tremblingly and walked down the steps.
Bud looked at her and asked, "Do you have a place to go? Go find a safe place!" As he said, he helped her lift the wire that was blocking the air.
The woman walked a few steps towards a car not far away in relief, then remembered something, stopped and said gratefully to Bud: "Merry Christmas!"
"Merry Christmas!" Bud replied and walked back to his car. .
Interior, night, indoor
Christmas party is being held here. Officer Jack Vincens, dressed in casual clothes, was dancing with a gorgeous red dress girl. The girl asked fondly while jumping, "What are you doing on the show, Jack?"
Jack: "I'm... a technical consultant, teaching Brett Keith how to walk and talk like a policeman." He pointed. He is a famous actor who often plays the policeman on TV. He is also dancing with another girl at the party. He is chic, handsome, and handsome.
Girl: "He walks and talks like you..."
Jack: "Because he is a television version of the police. The United States can't accept the real thing." The
girl continued to ask: "Did you arrest Robert Mitch? As the real The police must be very exciting, right?"
Jack stroked the girl's hair with his hand, and said affectionately: "When we change places, I'm happy to tell you the details about Mickey." As he said, he put his arms around the girl's waist.
At this moment, men who were very short and round, and looked like a ball came in. He is Shadd Hatch of "Push." This person belongs to the kind of natural "public relations wizard" at first glance. He wore a pair of glasses, his head was almost bald, and he grinned and greeted Jack in an exaggerated tone: "Hey, Jack Vincens!"
Jack turned his head and happily reached out to him. Holding it, he greeted affectionately in his mouth: "Hey!"
Hatch's face was full of smiles: "May I have a talk with you?" The two stood together, he was a full head shorter than Jack, and he looked even more so. funny.
Jack: "Of course you can." After that, he introduced to the girl next to him: "This is Shedd Hatch from "Pushing" magazine!"
"Hello, Karen!" The chunky Hatch happily hit the girl. Hello. Unexpectedly, the girl called Karen had a contemptuous expression: "You can go on your own!" After that, she turned and left.
Jack asked Scheide incomprehensibly: "What's the matter?"
Scheide told Jack with an indifferent look: "There is an article about Hollywood lesbians that mentioned her name." Jack did a helpless after hearing this. posture.
Shedd's mood didn't seem to be affected by the girl at all. He grabbed Jack's arm as he turned and walked forward, and said to him in a mysterious form: "Hey, Jack, there is a friend who wants to sell marijuana to Mike Lano!"
Jack didn't seem to hear Shadd's words. Xie De yelled again: "Hey, Jack!"
Jack apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't hear it."
Xie De hurriedly said flatly: "You will be reported on the two actors you arrested in the next issue. "Jack still doesn't seem to show interest. He wandered around, and finally sat down on a bar. Xie De quickly stepped forward and added: "Go, add another 50 yuan!"
Jack disdainfully: "Add another 50 yuan, 20 yuan each for the two patrols, and the other 10 yuan for the police officer on duty at the Hollywood Police Department."
Xie De implored aggrievedly: "Jack, look at Christmas..."
Jack lighted up a cigarette without rushing: "It's no good. It's a felony to hide marijuana!"
Xie De continued to explain: "Magazine." The sales volume is thirty-six thousand, the sales are still rising, the future is unlimited, maybe you can still be on the radio or TV!" He patted Jack on the shoulder pretendingly and affectionately, "If it stimulates the public's appetite, the opportunities will be endless! "

He entered the Hollywood Police Department by inheriting the will of his father who died on duty, and he was determined to be an excellent criminal detective.
A text reporter with a notebook introduced Edmund to his companion: "This is Edmund Xley, the son of the legendary police officer Xley. It is certainly not easy to be the successor."
Edmund smiled . .
The reporter asked, "Why not develop in other areas and become a policeman?"
Edmund had a humble expression: "I like to help others."
Reporter: "According to the evening news, two police officers were attacked. You What's your opinion?"
Edmund: "This work is like this. I have read the report and they are okay." The
reporter continued: "You became a police officer on duty at such a young age!"

Inspector Smith is a tall and thin man with a face as long as his figure. He was gentle and kind in his demeanor. He didn't look like a detective, but a kind uncle from the neighbor next door. With a cup in his hand, he told reporters in an easy-going manner: "Today is Christmas Eve, call me Dudley."
One reporter: "I have a question, it's called'Christmas Eve for the Los Angeles Policemen'!"
Another reporter: "Oh, great." He quickly wrote it down.
Smith continued to say to the reporter he was familiar with: "Remember, Bobby, my last name is Smith, Smith." After that, he went out. Edmund also shook hands with the reporters to bid farewell, and followed Dudley out of the room.

After a pause, he asked: "Which department do you want to go to? Patrol team? Housekeeping. Ko?"
Edmund: "I want to go to the detective department!"
Inspector Dudley pondered for a moment: "Edmond, you are a political animal, but you don't have the courage to face the situation."
Edmund firmly said: " You are wrong, sir."
Dudley said unceremoniously, "Will you plant on suspects you know are guilty to ensure that the prosecution is successful?"
Edmund hesitated: "Inspector Dudley, according to me I know..."
Dudley interrupted him: "Will it or not?"
Edmund had to answer honestly: "No."
Dudley continued to ask: "Beat the prisoner until he confesses?"
Edmund : "No."
Dudley: "Will you shoot professional criminals from behind-in order to avoid giving opportunities to certain lawyers."
Edmund: "No."
Dudley: "Then look at For God’s sake, don’t be a detective. Work in a department where you don’t need to make a choice!"
Edmund: "Dudley, I know you did it for good. But I don’t need to follow you or my father. The way to do it.”

· Interior · night in a hotel
in Bad sits alone in that hotel owner Nick waiting for him to get the wine. Nick packed a bottle of wine into a carton while talking to Bud: "If I encounter a robbery, you better protect me."
At this moment , a woman wearing a black cloak walked into the store. This is a woman with a sense of mystery. The long cloak dragged all the way to the ground, coupled with the black hat on it, covered her so tightly that people could not see her face.
She walked to the counter and said to Nick, "Hey, Nick, I need to order something, brandy, jars and whiskey..."
Nick accosted her: "Ah, it sounds like a Christmas party. I'll be a while. Just fine."
Bud, who was sitting on the corner of the room, became interested in this mysterious woman. He walked around the middle table, walked to the counter, stood side by side with the woman, and secretly looked at her. The woman was still wearing a black glove, and her hand was tapping on the table casually. Finally, she felt Bud's gaze next to her and turned her face away-her hair was golden yellow, her lipstick was heavily applied, and her face was very beautiful.
Bud couldn't help but: "Merry Christmas!"
Woman: "Merry Christmas too, Officer!"
Bud immediately looked a little embarrassed. He didn't expect to be recognized by this woman in plain clothes. He nodded and asked, "Is it obvious?"
Woman: "It's written on your forehead."
At this time, the boss filled Bud with wine and handed it to him: "Your wine." Bud used one. He picked up the wine box with his arm, and took the extra bottle of wine in his other hand and walked out of the hotel. Before leaving, he couldn't help but glanced at the woman again.
Location·Night·
Budd walked out of the hotel with a suitcase on the street , when a car that had obviously stopped at the door after he came in caught his attention. Bud put the wine box in his car, turned and walked towards the car. In that car, there was a man and a woman in the back seat. The man's sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks looked annoying. The woman is a young girl. She is wearing a red coat with a large piece of white tape sticking to her nose conspicuously.
Bud walked over, took out his police badge and knocked on the car window. —The man in the car gestured to the driver in front: "Look at what he wants to do, Buzz?"
The driver sitting in the front opened the door and got out of the car. This is a fierce-looking guy. He turned to Bud contemptuously: "Hey, why don't you get out of the way!" Bud said nothing, and walked up to the driver who came by.
Suddenly, he grabbed the driver and pressed him to the trunk of the car, then quickly took out a pistol from him, stuck it in his waist, and sternly shouted: "Get down, bow your head!" The
driver defended: " My gun is licensed."
Bud ignored him. He put his hand in the driver's arms, took out his license, and opened it on his back.
The driver didn't seem to be afraid: "Don't be too strict, I was also a policeman before."
Bud looked at the name on the license: "Lilian Meeks? I have never heard of you!" The
driver self-reported Home: "They call me Buzz."
Bud threw the license on the roof of the car. "I don't care what they call you, keep your head down!" He leaned down again and warned the driver in a low voice: " Stay here and don't move, Buzz!" After
pacing the driver, Bud walked to the back seat of the car, looked at the man and woman through the window, and then asked the girl: "Are you okay?"
"She It's okay!" the man next to him replied.
Bud: "I didn't ask you, sir!" He continued to ask the girl, "Did anyone beat you?"
"It's not what you thought!" At this time, a woman's voice came from behind Bud. Bud turned his head and saw the woman in black in the hotel walking towards the car.
Bud: "What's going on?" At this time, the girl in the car also said: "You misunderstood, I'm fine." The
black woman walked to the front of the car and opened the front door with a hint of irony. To Bud: "I know you are kind." After that, she got into the car. It turns out they came together.
Bud touched his head awkwardly and returned to the car. He took out the handgun, unloaded the bullet, returned the gun to the driver, and said: "Drive safely." The driver angrily grabbed his license from the roof.
Bud returned to his car, and Stans greeted him and asked, "How?"
Bud looked in the direction of the driver and asked Stans, "Do you know him?"
"I saw him, he used to It's a policeman." As he said, he laughed loudly.
Location·Night·On the street
Jack and a few people are standing on the street. Shedd ran over from the darkness and said excitedly to Jack in a low voice, "They are sitting there and chatting with the Christmas tree..."
"Okay," Jack pointedly instructed: "Put the machine here and stop here when I walk out. You use this movie's premiere ad as the background..." He pointed to a neon sign standing behind him in the middle of the street.
Shedd said to Jack kindly: "Okay, I like this, I like this; the title is:'Film premiere, marijuana seized'..."
Jack turned to a lighting engineer standing next to him: "When I came out I don't want the light to shine in my eyes..."
Xie De quickly said, "No problem." Then he turned to the lighting engineer: "You heard. Okay, let's go."
Jack began to face the opposite house. As he walked, Schneider, two police officers and several photographers followed him. As Xie De ran forward, he waved his hands at the people behind him and said, "Keep your head down, bow your head." The group of people bent down and tiptoed towards the house.

Jack grabbed the man and woman with both hands and walked out of the house. The reporters held their cameras to take pictures of them, and the flashes kept flashing for a while. Jack stood out like a hero at this time, and the two disheveled men and women around him tried to hide his face with their hands in embarrassment to avoid being "exposed".
Jack held them with one hand and walked forward towards the camera, urging them: "Hurry up, let's go, let's go...what a good Christmas Eve!"
In the middle of the street, Jack stopped and directed that. Two hapless guys helped him complete his "masterpiece": "Stand here, turn around!" He let the two turn around, standing in the middle, grabbing the two people, taking the premiere advertisement behind them as an example. The background allows photographers to take pictures as much as they want. The two men twisted and avoided the camera lens. Jack urged: "Take a shot, take a shot!" Xie De also jumped up and down on the side: "Take it, the movie premieres, we seized marijuana!" The flash in the photographer's hand kept lighting up.
After taking enough photos, Jack handed the couple to the two policemen who followed, and ordered: "Take them back to the Hollywood Police Station, and I will get the evidence." After saying that, he walked toward the house again. go.

Jack sat alone at a table in that house, flipping through a few notebooks on the table. A small piece of paper fell out of a notebook, and Jack picked it up and looked at it. This is a black business card-style card with the words "As you wish" printed in swashes and the words "Lily Club" in the middle. Jack looked at it thoughtfully.

In the living room of the "crime scene", there is a Christmas tree full of traffic lights in the center of the room. Only Jack and Shedd from Fat Dundun were in the room. Jack put the "lily" card into his pocket. Xie De walked around the house triumphantly, composing his "exciting report": "This is Christmas Eve in Los Angeles. Just as the citizens are starting to fall asleep, drug addicts are also looking for marijuana. They didn't know that someone was coming to stop them... At this moment, the famous crime nemesis Jack Vincens appeared..."
Jack ignored Shedd, who was dancing and writing. He stood up and looked out the window and saw that the police were pushing the two hapless men into the police car.
Shedd was still waving his arms and playing his report: "There are people smoking marijuana and drugs everywhere...Do you like it?" He saw Jack turn around from the window, hurriedly greeted him and asked, and conjured it up. I don't know where to take out a dollar and hold it in front of Jack's eyes.
Jack replied in a low voice: "I like it." After that, he grabbed the ticket.
Location·Night·In front of the Hollywood Police Department,
Bud and Stans are unloading wine from the car. A policeman asked while helping: "Why did you come back so late?"
Stans replied with a smile: "My partner is trying to save a girl, and he has turned the cart before the horse." The surrounding police all laughed. The policeman said to Bud carelessly: "You're getting sick again."
Interior view·Night·In the police station,
Edmund, who was on duty tonight, just took a call and put down the microphone; then there was a call from the door. There was a lot of noise. It turned out that Jack led his subordinates in triumphantly. The police officers greeted him one after another.
A policeman asked: "Why do you have time to visit our small police station?"
Jack triumphantly clapped his hands with the policeman: "I'm doing my best for the safety of the street." Then he ordered: "Give it here. Two people register and file a case."
At this time, someone greeted: "The party is upstairs." The police went upstairs one after another. Only Jack and Edmund were left in the room. Jack walked to the office desk and greeted Edmund. Edmund came over. Jack took out the dollar that Shedd gave him and placed it on the table, and tapped it with his hand. Edmund asked puzzledly: "What?"
Jack lowered his voice: "Are you the police officer on duty tonight?"
Edmond nodded, "Yes, how?"
Jack relaxedly: "This is "Hush "Gift from the magazine, go buy a pair of new shoes."
Edmund refused: "No, Jack, thank you, you keep it. I'm not interested."
At this time, there was another noise at the door. Several policemen escorted six or seven Mexicans and rushed in noisily.
Edmund greeted him and asked, "What's the matter?"
A policeman replied: "Six Mexicans were arrested. They beat Brown and Haren Lonski."
Another policeman added: "Harlan. Ronsky lost 6 pints of blood and Brown fainted."
Edmund replied, "As far as I know they were only slightly injured."
A policeman in plain clothes next to him retorted, "No, not like that. I know about it."
Edmund ordered, "Buckle them!"

Jack and Edmund are still here downstairs from the police station . Edmund was on the phone, and there was a loud noise from the stairs: "... Go and beat them, hurry up..." Then came the voice of the police coming downstairs.
Edmund hurried to the stairs and reached out to stop the lead policeman: "Hey, the party is upstairs."
The policeman glared at Edmond, dismissively: "This has nothing to do with you." He walked around Edmund. Other policemen also rushed forward.
Edmund vainly dissuaded him loudly from behind: "Don't do this, don't do this! Don't you have a job? Go back to the Christmas party." But the angry police brutally pushed him aside.
At this moment, the two reporters who interviewed Edmund last time happened to break in. The tall, somewhat bald journalist told Edmund, "I still have some questions..."
Edmund didn't want them to see the chaos that might arise, and quickly stopped them: "You don't need to come here... …"
"Quick!" The two reporters suddenly noticed the policemen who were leaving violently, and were immediately so sensitive that real "news" would happen. Regardless of Edmund's obstruction, the two greeted each other as the police rushed towards the prisoner's place.

Bud's partner, the tall Stans, took the lead and walked in. The companions behind shouted: "Teach them a lesson, Stans! Beat them!"
Stans walked towards a Mexican in a red shirt. He grabbed his shirt and pushed him onto the railing. Punch him with a fist...
"Beat him, beat him..." the police yelled. Edmund also rushed in at this time. He shouted to a policeman who stopped him: "Let me pass!" But the policeman blocked his way.
Stans beat the Mexican fiercely. Another Mexican saw his companion being beaten and tried to defend him. He shouted to Stans: "That has nothing to do with him!" Stans let go of his hand. The Mexican turned to this person who dared to challenge him: "What do you want to do?" Without allowing the latter to answer, Stans had already punched him with his fists, and the beaten Mexican screamed in pain. At this moment, Stans took out his baton again and slapped the man on the head and back. Edmund eagerly wanted to rush in to persuade him, but was stopped by two policemen.
At this time, Bud also arrived. He pushed aside the crowd and rushed to hug the crazy Stans tightly. Things seemed likely to calm down. Unexpectedly, the beaten Mexican ran over to challenge Bud and shouted: "You don't stop him, don't stop him!" Bud let go of Stans and grabbed it. The Mexican pushed him against the wall and ordered: "Go back, go back..."
"Fuck you!" The Mexican cursed at Bud. Bud was immediately enraged, and he cursed, "Fuck you!" Then he grabbed his hair and slammed his head against the wall. The onlookers screamed together.
Edmund was blocked by the police and could not go forward, so he could only shout loudly: "Stop, stop, this is an order!" But no one planned to listen to him.
At this time, the aisles of the detention room were full of people. A Mexican saw his companion being beaten innocently, and rammed Jack, who was standing beside him, and shed a red blood on his snow-white shirt and tie. Jack fisted in angrily, which immediately caused a melee. All the police joined the team to beat the prisoners, and there was chaos in the narrow aisles of the detention room.
Edmund tried his best to issue a warning: "I will report you..." But he was immediately pushed out of the detention room, and a policeman plugged the door. Helpless Edmund could only shout inside through the glass window on the iron door, but he could no longer stop the war.
The two reporters who came in caught a "big fish" at this moment. They raised their cameras and pressed the shutter at the police fighting and the melee scene.

Edmund: "Because they think keeping silent is equal to justice." The
chief picked up the newspaper: "This is not what the Los Angeles Police Department wants. The image created.”
Prosecutor Lauter repeated the slogan ironically: “Welcome to Los Angeles, this is a city of the future...”
Edmund added, “Can I make a suggestion?”
Director: "Go ahead."
Edmund: "The public expects the police to downplay this matter. We don't want to cause this result. We can accuse the policemen who are eligible for retirement and force them to retire. But some people have to be punished, so they can be prosecuted. , Interrogate and declare the guilt of Stans and Bud White and put them in jail.

Edmund: "I know, sir. But when he was a sheriff, he was also a criminal detective."
The prosecutor interrupted the topic: "Before we appreciate the results, it's best to have another witness."
Dudley: "It's not easy to find. They don't like to be whistleblowers!"
Edmund prompted: "Jack Vincens, he beat one of the Mexicans and saw the whole incident!"
Dudley: "I believe Vincens will admit his negligence, but will not report his companions."
Ed Meng laughed and said: "Jack is the technical consultant of the'Police Net Qunying' TV program. This is his lifeblood. We can use this to make him submit." Dudley was speechless for a while, and he could only stare at Ed hard. Blindfolded.

Jack: "I only report on 3 old policemen who will retire next week. Compared to you, I am innocent and smart!"
