44 Minutes: The North Hollywood Shoot-Out2003

Frank McGregor:
RHD. Robbery-Homicide Division. We're the best of the best, and we get all the high-profile cases. L.A. Confidential. Al Pacino in Heat. Joe Friday and all that. The only difference is, those guys don't have to juggle 75 cases all at once. Me, I've got to prioritize. Back in '95, my priority was them. We had a name for them. We called them the "High-Incident Bandits". Chatsworth. Two years prior. These guys decided to make an early withdrawl. They killed the guard, executed him. Ambushed him. Took his head off with an AK-47. That kind of firepower in a bank job is unheard of. These guys were an anomaly. I made a promise to that widow that I wouldn't quit until I caught up with the sons of b*tches that killed her husband. We make promises like that all the time in my kind of work. We like to think that we mean it. That time I really meant it. Six months later, another armored car. Then, two more banks. Takeover-style. The most dangerous kind. They got away with over two million dollars. I guess they wanted to live the good life and they wanted to live it pretty fast. Instead of getting a job like the rest of us. Anyway, they disappeared into the wind one day, but I knew they'd be back.
