This is a story of a zealous and upright anti-narcotics police officer "Ironso" who, after entering the dye vat of the industry, was unable to control it, and began to corrupt and degenerate by unscrupulous efforts to fight for "performance". In the film, he showed the rookie police officer "Hult" to handle various illegal human rights violations, such as fishing, sticking a pen in the throat, coercion, intimidation, intimidation, murder, ... various means to "handling the case and fighting for performance", and he didn't feel anything wrong. Even complacent.

Of course, based on consequentialism alone, unscrupulous means can sometimes be "successful" for a short period of time. As stated in the film, Alonso boasted about his "brilliant" record, and the judge sentenced him to "15,000 years in prison" based on his "prosecution case", "the prison was built for him", and he became a The boss of the anti-drug team...all kinds of invincibility. However, after watching him demonstrate the "case handling method" of teaching rookies, I am afraid that there are not many dry materials, but there is a lot of water in fishing law enforcement, illegal torture, etc. In the end, his self-confidence expanded infinitely, and he really regarded himself as a god. Even in places where he was unfamiliar, he was still the only one who respected himself. However, this time he used it well, and the other party would not swallow his voice. Unlike other people who can let you fish and fish for themselves, Alonso's short-lived tyrant career has come to an end.

God sent a rookie Holt to remind him not to Don't forget his original intention; the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and there is no turning back. However, Alonso had already traded with the devil, and exchanged his soul for glory and wealth, and in turn wanted to corrupt Holt. When he found that he couldn't corrupt Holt and decided to eradicate this rookie who was "like his youthful blood and justice", he also announced his doom. He buried the last trace of his conscience with his own hands until he died. "It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, the cat that catches mice is a good cat"? Not also. Unscrupulous means to achieve the goal is tantamount to trading with the devil, perhaps winning for a while, but destined to become a soulless zombie.
