==Plot== <!-- Per [[WP:FILMPLOT]], film plot summaries should be between 400 and 700 words.--> Jake Hoyt, an ambitious [[Los Angeles Police Department|LAPD]] officer, is assigned to work with Detective Alonzo Harris, a highly decorated [[narcotic]]s officer<!--Alonzo's corruption isn't revealed until later in the film; best to reveal this as the plot summary progresses.--> for a one-day evaluation to determine if Jake will be invited to join the narcotics squad. Driving around in Alonzo's [[Chevrolet Monte Carlo#Third generation (1978–1980)|Monte Carlo]], they begin the day by catching some college kids buying [[marijuana]]. Alonzo confiscates the drugs, puts them into a pipe and tells Jake to smoke it. When Jake refuses, Alonzo threatens him at gunpoint, stating that such a refusal while on the streets would get him killed. Jake smokes the pipe and gets very high. Alonzo laughs, disclosing that it was laced with [[Phencyclidine|PCP]]. They pay a visit to Roger, an ex-cop turned drug dealer. After they leave, Jake notices a pair of addicts attempting to [[rape]] Letty, a teenage girl in an alley. Jake intervenes while Alonzo watches him subdue the attackers. After Letty leaves, Alonzo menaces the rapists, but declines to arrest them and Jake collects Letty's wallet from the ground. Later, Alonzo and Jake apprehend a dealer named Blue, who has [[Crack cocaine|crack rocks]] and a loaded handgun in his possession. Rather than go to jail, Blue informs on his employer Kevin "Sandman" Miller, who is in prison. Using a fake [[search warrant]], Alonzo steals $40,000 from Sandman's home. At lunch, the two visit Alonzo's mistress Sara and their young son. Alonzo then meets with a trio of corrupt high-ranking police officials he dubs the "Three Wise Men". Aware that the [[Russian mafia]] is hunting Alonzo, they suggest he skip town. Alonzo insists he has control of the situation and trades the $40,000 for an [[arrest warrant]]. Alonzo assembles his squad of narcotics officers, and with Jake in tow they return to Roger's house and use the warrant to seize $4 million, a quarter of which Alonzo keeps and shares with his squad. Jake refuses to take a share of the money, worrying Alonzo and the other officers. Alonzo executes Roger after Jake refuses his order to do so, staging the scene with his men to make the shooting look justified. Infuriated, Jake gets into a [[Mexican standoff|standoff]] with the corrupt officers. Alonzo reveals he orchestrated the day's events to have leverage over Jake and threatens him with the police department's post-incident blood test, which will catch the PCP Jake smoked and end his career. Alonzo promises to protect Jake from the drug test in exchange for his cooperation and Jake begrudgingly complies. Later that evening, Alonzo drives Jake to the home of a [[Sureño]] gangster named Smiley for an errand. As he waits for Alonzo, Jake reluctantly plays [[poker]] with Smiley and his fellow gang members, Sniper and Moreno. Smiley then explains Alonzo's situation: Alonzo got into a fight with a connected Russian mobster in [[Las Vegas]] and killed him. Alonzo must pay a million dollars as compensation, or be killed himself. Additionally, Smiley reveals Alonzo has abandoned Jake and paid Smiley to kill him. Jake attempts to flee but is beaten and dragged to the bathroom to be executed. Moreno searches Jake for money and finds the wallet of Letty, who happens to be Smiley's cousin. After calling Letty and confirming that Jake saved her, Smiley releases Jake out of gratitude. An infuriated Jake returns to Sara's apartment to arrest Alonzo before he leaves to pay the Russians with Roger's money. A gunfight and chase ensue, and Alonzo is eventually subdued on the street while the entire neighborhood gathers to watch. Alonzo offers money to whoever kills Jake, but the neighborhood residents, tired of Alonzo's abuse, refuse. Jake takes the stolen cash to submit as evidence against Alonzo and the neighborhood gang allows him to leave safely with earned respect. An enraged Alonzo, realizing his plan has been foiled, unravels into a final desperate [[tantrum]] and threatens retaliation against the neighborhood, but, knowing he no longer holds any sway over them, the residents ignore Alonzo and walk away during his rant. Alonzo attempts to flee for the [[Los Angeles International Airport]], but is ambushed and gunned down by the Russians. Jake returns home as the press reports on Alonzo's death.
