TVTranscript
00:00This retired Marine was deliberately targeted by the police. Before he could address the issue
00:05with the police, the other side ordered him to lie on the ground and spread his arms out.
00:09The two police officers couldn't help but start searching the bag. They found some money in the
00:14veteran Terry's bag. Terry tried to explain his money was legitimate, not from trafficking
00:19contraband, and he was using it to bail out his cousin. Faced with various questions from the
00:23police, Terry still patiently answered all the questions. As a result, the two officers still
00:29said the money would be confiscated immediately. But Terry had to get to the courthouse before 5
00:33o'clock. Only then could he help his cousin get out on bail. He explained the money was from selling
00:38his car and his shares in a restaurant. It was only a total of $36,000. If they didn't believe him,
00:44they could check his account. But the police threatened him, saying he would receive a
00:48letter in the mail, stating he was being sued over this money because they believed it was drug money.
00:52They would hunt Terry down with an arrest warrant to put him behind bars. No matter how good-natured
00:57Terry was, he couldn't stand such outrageous behavior. He went to the courthouse to consult
01:02a lawyer named Summer. She explained that this type of behavior is called civil asset forfeiture.
01:07The purpose is to help federal agents crack down on drug gangs. Mere suspicion is enough to seize
01:12assets without any relation to criminal charges. The police chief can even keep the confiscated money
01:18for discretionary use. Even if Terry went to court to file a lawsuit, it would take more than half a
01:23year. He would even have to spend twice the amount on a lawyer. Everything seemed to have reached a
01:27dead end. But bailing out his cousin had to be done as soon as possible. Terry's cousin is Mike,
01:33arrested for misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance. Previously, Mike had served as a
01:37cooperating witness in a murder case. The inmate Mike helped convict was a high-ranking gang member.
01:43If he were now transferred to the state prison, there would be terrible retaliation. This is why Terry
01:48wanted to bail Mike out. The transfer time was set for Thursday, so Terry still had time to prepare
01:53the money. The bail amount was about $10,000. Then Terry called Mr. Liu, the owner of the Chinese
01:59restaurant, wanting to borrow $10,000 first to meet his urgent need. He cheerfully promised to
02:05help immediately. Terry at this point still didn't realize he was at the center of a conspiracy.
02:09Early the next morning, he went to the Shelby Springs Police Department to file a report.
02:14Female Officer Jessica assisted him enthusiastically. However, one of the two cops who robbed him of
02:19the money, Steve, suddenly appeared and made things difficult. Just then, Police Chief Sandy
02:25also arrived to speak. The old man stated that Terry was the subject of a lawful stop and was evading
02:30arrest. Then Sandy flipped open Terry's mobile phone and ordered him to turn off the recording
02:35software and leave. Otherwise, he would face felony charges. Terry finally saw that everyone in the
02:41police department was a rotten basket case. Terry could only give up pressing his rights. He said he
02:46just wanted $10,000 back to bail out his cousin. The remaining amount could be considered a special
02:51expense for the police chief. Sandy heard this. His expression changed slightly. He told Terry to come
02:57at 9 a.m. on Monday and he would be able to see his cousin again. Terry now didn't have a dime, so he
03:02could only camp overnight in the woods. Waiting until Monday, he immediately went to the police station.
03:07Just three minutes late, the prisoner transport bus had already left. Terry quickly rode his bike
03:13towards the road to chase after it. Luckily, he caught up and saw Mike through the window and told
03:18Mike that he had to file for protective custody. Mike didn't know how dangerous his situation was.
03:23He even thought it wouldn't be long before he could get out of prison. Soon after, a problem also arose
03:28from Mr. Liu's side. He said six police officers came with a warrant for an on-site inspection and took the
03:33shop safe. They even brought police dogs to search for drugs. Terry's statement at the police station
03:38implicated the restaurant, so it caused trouble for Mr. Liu. Therefore, he couldn't lend him the money
03:44yet. Desperate, Terry had to seek help from Summer. But she was also scared because these cops were a
03:49hornet's nest. She wanted to keep her job safe, so she couldn't help Terry either. Terry, worried,
03:54became angry and slammed the door. Unexpectedly, Summer caught up with him. It turned out she was just
04:00acting to avoid attention. During this time, she discovered many cases with extremely high bail
04:05amounts. But all the cases were postponed. This situation was very unusual. Like someone with a
04:11minor offense shouldn't be held in detention for so long. Summer would give Terry some files after
04:15work. But that was all she could help with. After all, Summer had a daughter and couldn't lose this job.
04:21Besides understanding the contents inside, Terry needed to raise 10,000 US dollars as soon as possible.
04:27At the same time, Sandy was reviewing Terry's discharge information. The old man found out
04:32that he mainly served as an MCMAP instructor. Nobody at the police station knew what this meant.
04:37But one of them pointed out, Terry had never been deployed overseas. In other words,
04:42he had no actual combat experience. Sandy breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
04:47Turns out he was just a straw man. Just as he finished speaking, Terry arrived at the door of the
04:51police station, saying his previous proposal was still valid. He gets back $10,000, and everything
04:57will be settled. But Sandy acted very arrogantly, telling him not to stand in front of the police
05:02station making demands. Now the old man wouldn't give him back a single cent of the money. At this
05:07moment, Jessica discovered the meaning of MCMAP. It's commonly known as the Marine Corps Martial Arts
05:13Program. This system combines unarmed or close-quarters combat, and Terry was the Jiojitsu instructor for the
05:196th Marine Regiment. The cop Steve heard this and quickly called the chief back. The old man wanted
05:24to act, but Terry quickly drew his opponent's gun, then pushed him forward to take the opportunity to
05:29subdue the cop Steve. Terry unloaded his pistol easily, then took the police chief hostage and
05:35entered the police station. It could be seen from the duty roster on the wall, indicating there were
05:39still people inside the police station. Terry immediately demanded the hidden female officer come out
05:45quickly and ordered her to put her weapon on the ground, then handcuffed the police chief and Steve.
05:51Next, Terry demanded the female officer open the property room. He saw the cash and weapons at the
05:56police station seemed far more than necessary. Next was the issue of leaving. Outside, the patrol team
06:01had returned. Everyone was crowding outside the police station and standing ready. Terry didn't want to
06:06cause an unnecessary shootout. He unloaded all the bullets to show his sincerity and hoped the female
06:12officer could cooperate with his actions. The female officer was smart, pretending to escort Terry from
06:18the main gate to the police car. Waiting until they reached a safe place, Terry returned the female
06:23officer's pistol. Of course, he had unloaded it beforehand. Terry then told Jessica to get in the car,
06:29but he would take the keys one kilometer ahead. Then he went to the court, immediately paid the $10,000
06:34and completed the bail procedures. Summer also actively helped him get the signature beforehand.
06:39Terry anxiously stared at the door. The bail papers had to be completed before the police arrived.
06:45Now his plan was to enter the very prison where Mike was being held. Soon after, the police arrived,
06:50tasered Terry, and subdued him. After regaining consciousness, he was sitting in a police car.
06:55The old police chief asked him what he had seen in the evidence room. The answer was a lot of cash
07:00and enough weapons for a rifle platoon. Sandy gave many reasons to try to rationalize the things in that
07:05police warehouse. He said there was pressure from above to implement police reforms. But they didn't
07:10want to invest, so the department had to raise funds itself. The police chief made money by selling
07:15weapons to other police departments, and it gradually developed into a growth industry recently.
07:20Now Sandy told Terry about these violations, as if wanting to make the original deal. Then they
07:25stopped at Samaritan Hospital. Because just as the bail procedure was completed, Mike was stabbed in
07:30prison. He would be sent here for medical treatment later. Now Sandy gave Terry two choices. First,
07:36take all the money and leave quietly. Or be sentenced to over 30 years in prison. If Terry was willing to
07:42cooperate, he could come pick up the car Sandy had bought as compensation. Finally, Terry agreed to the
07:47deal. Soon after, the prison helicopter arrived. However, poor Mike did not survive resuscitation.
07:53Losing his cousin made Terry lose all fighting spirit. After receiving the news,
07:58Summer came to see him. She brought the documents she had collected, showing dozens of cases similar
08:03to Mike's. The police targeted inmates eligible for bail with high bail amounts. But no case was
08:08released immediately. They had to wait 90 days for charges to be filed. Terry interrupted Summer.
08:14He didn't care about the state of greed in this town. He just wanted to bail Mike out. But now it was
08:18too late. The two of them had crossed the Aurora town border while talking. A police car following them
08:23finally turned around and left. Terry was still grateful for Summer's help. So he took her phone
08:28number. Then he went to pick up the car as agreed. While Summer was sleeping, she suddenly saw a crowd
08:33outside her door. After all the intruders had left, she went into the bathroom and saw a syringe. And
08:39there was a fresh injection mark on her arm too. While Summer was confused, she saw the police label on
08:44the refrigerator. She immediately called Terry to tell him about her trouble. Terry broke into a sweat
08:49and turned back immediately after receiving the call. At this time, Summer was soaking in cold
08:54water. She didn't want to go to the hospital for a checkup. Because a drug injection would be recorded
08:59in her medical records. This would lead to her losing custody of her daughter. Her law license
09:03would also be revoked. And Summer couldn't let her ex-husband find anything advantageous to win
09:08custody. She decided to readjust, going back to work as if nothing had happened. But the judge had
09:14received a report. He immediately decided to have Summer take a urine test. She hid in the restroom.
09:19Unable to hold back her tears. Summer had never felt so helpless. At the same time,
09:24Terry was being followed by an unexpected police car signaling him to stop. Then two more police
09:29cars approached. Terry noticed all the warning lights on the police cars were off and said he
09:34wouldn't return to this town anymore. But Steve saw he seemed concerned about Summer's affairs and
09:38warned him. There were dozens of witnesses who saw him storm the station. Even his fingerprints were
09:43all over the property cage. So they could arrest him at any time. After finishing speaking,
09:48Steve opened fire on Terry. Of course, taking his life was not easy at all. Steve was even tasered
09:54into unconsciousness by Terry. There wasn't much time. Terry had to quickly get in the car and flee.
10:00Bullets from the other two cops flew like raindrops. After escaping them, he drove his car under a
10:05bridge. Then Terry received a call from Summer. She said the police had also found her and told her
10:10she should leave this town. So Terry left Summer an address. It was Mr. Lu's Chinese restaurant.
10:15When the two met, Terry was having his gunshot wound bandaged by him. He used to be a field medic,
10:20so this wasn't too difficult a problem. Then Terry asked Summer to tell him more about the
10:24cops in that town. Because they were hiding something, they weren't hunting him down with
10:28a big fuss. Now the police were getting stronger and stronger. But Terry would never continue to be
10:33a coward. He wanted to take down these cops with his own hands to avenge Mike. Judging from the
10:38information obtained by Summer, Sandy was clearly manipulating the prison system. The old man would use
10:43any means to get double the bail money. Then Terry left an account for Mr. Lu and left.
10:49The court clerk, who previously warned Summer to leave town, was her old friend. Terry felt the
10:53other party might have some clue. So the two went to find him. Elliot was afraid of getting involved,
10:58so he didn't dare speak clearly. He hinted about the Bishop case and the town of Shelby Springs.
11:03It was a setup to put pressure on the police side, turning everything upside down. To find out more,
11:08they had to ask the judge. Just like that, the two snuck into his house to ask what happened back
11:13then. The judge spoke. That year, the police chief was singled out for causing a wrongful death.
11:19The compensation nearly bankrupted the entire town. From then on, Sandy's department was considered
11:24unsalvageable. Under pressure from above, he devised ways to make money for improvements.
11:30And the money Sandy collected was mostly for long-term debt, salaries, and community projects.
11:34The reason bail cases had to wait 90 days. It was related to the hard drive at the courthouse.
11:40All the dashcam videos of the setups were stored there. These videos would be deleted when the
11:4490th day arrived. During this time, the police arranged to frame the prisoners with additional
11:49charges. So Terry really wanted to know what was on his cousin Mike's video. Then he and Summer went
11:54to the storage room in the building's basement. Just then, a few voices were heard not far away.
11:59Then the two suddenly smelled gasoline in the tunnel. The next second, the fire started to spread.
12:04Someone wanted to completely destroy the evidence. Summer used coconut water to temporarily stop the
12:10fire from spreading, then quickly went to the storage room to find the hard drive.
12:14After Summer found Mike's drive, she quickly got out of there. But Summer suddenly asked Terry to
12:18start the car first. She had to go back to the office to get some samples. It turned out what
12:23Summer wanted to get was her urine sample. But before she could leave, she was discovered.
12:27Terry was hiding in the car and watching, when unexpectedly, a few people were taking Summer away.
12:33He immediately started the car and followed them. They took her to a warehouse where a police car
12:37was waiting. As the group continued to take Summer away, Terry drove the car straight into the cop in
12:42front, then dragged him out of the car and handcuffed him. Then came the interrogation about where Summer
12:47would be taken. It was regrettable that the guy didn't understand Terry's warning. He had no choice but
12:52to use his phone to contact his superior and said he had a USB drive with evidence in his hand.
12:57If anything happened to Summer, he would immediately expose the contents inside. Hearing this, the guy
13:03on the other end of the line arranged to meet Terry at Rebel Ridge at dawn. The next day, some police
13:08officers took Summer to a remote place. There were also many other cops hiding not far away. But Terry
13:13never appeared. Then he called the police chief about him not abiding by the agreement. While the two
13:18were talking, a police car found Terry's car. But when they broke the door and got in, the person inside
13:23was another cop. At the same time, Terry was behind the police station accelerating and successfully
13:29broke through a wall. Sandy immediately called Steve to quickly bring people back to headquarters.
13:34Right at this moment, Terry used a gun loaded with beanbag rounds to take the old man down.
13:39It wouldn't injure him, but just leave him rolling in pain. Terry knew Jessica had another name and was
13:44also Summer's good friend. So he gave her the memory card to inform her of that. Soon after, the entire
13:49police force returned. Terry had put on body armor and prepared to face the enemy. Then poured
13:54turpentine on a pile of money. Unexpectedly, at this moment Jessica suddenly pointed her gun at Terry
14:00and informed Steve that the suspect had been successfully captured. Then she forced Terry to
14:04step outside. Then handed all the memory cards to Steve for him to crush on the ground. He also
14:10declared that Summer had overdosed on drugs and was unconscious. At this time, disagreement broke out
14:15within the police force. Officer Marston thought that just detaining Terry was enough for now. Then taking
14:21Summer to the emergency room would suffice. But Steve insisted on killing Terry and refused. Just as the
14:27two were arguing, Sandy shot Marston straight in the leg. Then the old man calmed everyone down. Terry took
14:32advantage of this moment, grabbed his tool bag, and pulled Marston behind the car for cover. Then he threw out
14:38a few stun grenades, causing the cops to seek cover. Not stopping there, he also fired a series of smoke
14:44bombs. To avoid revealing his position, he would fight without using a gun. A guy who just approached
14:49had his gun thrown at him and his arm broken. He only used martial arts to deal with the police.
14:54Terry was like a ghost catching Steve. Then punched him in the face to vent all his hatred. Terry then
14:59got into the police car where Summer was. He immediately activated the warning lights to turn on
15:04the car's dashcam. Then he stepped on the gas and drove towards Marston. Then carefully administered
15:09naloxone into Summer's nose to keep her safe. Then pulled Marston into the car and fled.
15:14Unexpectedly, Steve was waiting ahead with a gun. But the gun jammed. So Terry subdued him and
15:20accelerated. Just then, a vaguely conscious Summer pushed his head, causing him to fall out of the car.
15:26The police chief on this side quickly led people to chase Terry. Because the rear tire was shot,
15:30they couldn't go too far. The three people in the car were resigned to dying. At the critical moment,
15:35Jessica had an awakening, ramming Sandy's car. At the same time, she contacted the escorting
15:41police to buy time for Terry. At least now they wouldn't die in the car. Finally, the police chief
15:46was arrested by the escorting police. Summer and Marston were taken to the hospital. Then Terry
15:51removed the car's dashcam, clutching it tightly as evidence. The video ends here. This is not an action
15:57movie. Except for Mike. No one from either side died. Because the core of the film is not revenge,
16:02but satire of the American system's foundation. Police randomly stop people on the road solely
16:08based on suspicion of ownership. They arbitrarily seize citizens' property. Anyone looking at it
16:13would find it absurd. The male protagonist's background also goes against the stereotype of
16:18a tough guy. Very calm and rational from beginning to end.
