Intense Confrontation and Personal Stories

Amanda! Out of my way, I wanna talk to my wife.

With a bat? Restraining order says 100 yards.

Ah! I warned you.

Ah!

Drop the bat.

I warned you.

Give up. Drop the bat.

Ah. Ah. Ah.

I got him. I got him.

No. No. No!

No. Ah!

I saw your head hit the concrete. How's your vision?

Uh, fine. Uh, Cody went down harder than I did,

thanks to you.

I'd still like to get you evaluated for a concussion. And let's splint this wrist.

Mm.

The bruising and swelling indicates a fracture.

Yeah.

You can't do this, man. Look, I need to talk to my wife.

Shut up.

You can't stay there forever.

Shut up or I'll bust the teeth out your mouth. You hear me?

You just threaten a suspect in police custody?

He's an asshole.

Yeah, he files a complaint against the city

and wins, he'll be a rich asshole.

That what you want?

No, sir.

Hey,

what's up?

There was a call back in Texas my first year on the job.

I didn't get there in time.

He killed the kids, too.

Look,

those calls are hard for all of us.

All right? But crossing the line gives guys like this

a get-out-of-jail-free card,

and I know you don't want that.

No, sir.

I'll do better controlling my emotions in the future.

I saw that flawless elbow strike that knocked the wind out of him.

It was badass.

Oh, I don't know. Necessary, maybe.

It's not the first time I have had to defend myself from a man.

It's why I do what I do at the shelter.

After my

ex broke my rib, I swore

never again. So now I am a blue belt in Krav

Maga, and it's the other guy that has the broken rib.

I'm a Capoeira master, and a level one Krav Maga, for now.

Ah, I thought I sensed a kindred spirit.

But you know, tough women, they often come with dark stories.

No, I just like to learn new things.

I see. Well, if you ever wanna talk martial arts,

you know where to

find me.

Hmm.

Oh, hi. I was hoping I'd see you again.

I've been thinking a lot about what you said about

tough women

having dark stories.

I, um, I might have lied in the ambulance

earlier.

We all do.

It's the easiest way to protect ourselves.

I've been collecting ways to protect myself for years.

I fight fires, I shoot guns, I jump out of planes, I save lives.

Is it working?

Yeah.
