Samuels, Det. Valenzuela and others in “Gunplay”

You and Detective Green are both good at making people believe what you want them to believe.

We're good at our jobs.

Does your job include breaking the law?

Technically. I've bought drugs from drug dealers and guns from gun runners.

Guns and drugs.

[sarcastically] Sometimes I even break the speed limit in the pursuit of a criminal.

Find this amusing, do you, detective? This is all just a big joke to you?

McCoy

Objection!

Sustained.

Is it fair to say as an undercover you would do whatever it takes to catch the so-called "bad guys", even if it means breaking the law?

We don't break the law. The law allows us to pose as bad guys and lie to bad guys, in order to catch the bad guys.

[yelling] And if you can't catch them, you just kill them? Take the law into your own hands and gun them down to die like dogs in the street? How many people have you killed doing "your job", detective? How many?

McCoy

Your honor!

You are the bad guys, officer! You!
