Police, police.
Get down! Get down! Step out of your car.
Step out the car.
He ain't stopping.
Hey, step out the car! We've got one running.
Damn.
Helicopter, go ahead.
Cut his thumb off.
The sword symbolizes the soul of any great warrior.
I make a living in the movies, but for the past 20 years I've also been a cop.
And along with some of the finest deputies on the force, I serve the people of Jefferson Parish, Louisiana.
Code 94-G, shots fired.
My name is Steven Seagal.
All units respond.
That's right, Steven Seagal, Deputy Sheriff.
What's that silver Impala doing, Johnny? It just ran a red light.
All right, here we go.
All right, you can stop right there.
Stop and step out of your car.
Yo.
Get out of the vehicle.
Step out of your car.
Step out the car.
He's driving off, man.
He ain't stopping.
Hey, step out the car! Go, go, go.
Helicopter, go ahead.
Give me the radio.
Tell AIR-1 we got one running eastbound on Lapalco, silver car.
He's going that way.
Wrong way? Yeah, he's that way.
There, try to stay up on him.
Wait behind just a little bit.
All right, 10-4, Roger that.
He's headed toward Barataria.
He's seven blocks ahead of us.
Just drive, Johnny, just drive.
All right, right on South Oak.
Got it, Larry.
All right.
Get on the ground! Get on the ground.
Get on the ground.
Get on the ground.
Get down! Get down! I ain't got nothing on me.
I'm telling you.
Get up.
Stand up.
To your feet.
You search him yet? Just a little bit.
We got him, sir.
That's your father? What you running for, man? Scared of what? Anybody beat you yet? Hold on, partner.
Hold on.
Hold on.
I'm not gonna stand here-- listen.
I'm not gonna stand here and let you handle me, all right? We're trying to give you some respect.
You better give us some.
You understand? So you better tone it down a little bit, because that attitude ain't gonna get you nowhere.
Understand? We saw the silver Impala run through the red light.
We tried to pull him over, and they refused to stop.
We ended up chasing them down to what I assume is their father's home.
And we're now just searching both suspects and running their names for attachments before we can determine how to proceed.
When we pull somebody over, we've got a reason.
Nobody's gonna hurt him, but, you know, if we pull him over, we've got a reason.
He run from us.
We think, man, he's one of them killers out there, 'cause we got killers out there.
You understand what I'm saying? I got you, all right.
All right.
We was just gonna give you a friendly warning and shake your hand, and then when you run, we think y'all are some kind of thugs.
I just come down here to serve the community, you know, and trying to make it safe for y'all, that's all.
Yeah.
What's he riding for? Two traffic warrants and then two new traffic charges.
Okay.
Did this other name cleared? Yeah, he's clear.
He's good to go.
All right.
To be honest with you, probably, we would have just gave him a warning.
These guys, they run when they've got an attachment, and then they end up going to jail, and so he's taking a ride.
All right, brother, thanks so much, man.
We have to do our job, what we believe is right, you know, and you just can't run from the police.
It's just crazy.
All right.
Jump in, guys.
Let's go.
Go ahead, brother.
Okay, no problem.
We're coming.
Was that the narcotics boys? Yeah.
Let's go take a ride.
Narcotics just asked us to back them up on a bust they've got going.
We're heading over to the briefing right now.
all right, we're gonna do a U.
C.
buy for some pills.
That's the plan right now.
Got a guy coming to deliver to one of our undercovers.
So what we have here is an undercover officer who is gonna try to buy prescription pills from someone who's suspected for selling pills.
It's a guy-- we've dealt with him before, same kind of situation.
We bought pills from him before.
Once the buy is done, the U.
C.
is gonna get out of there.
What about the suspect? He's probably gonna take that money and then go buy crack with it.
So we'll follow him when he leaves.
Apparently, the individual selling the pills is also a known crack user, so after we buy the pills, we're not gonna arrest him.
We're gonna follow him and see if he'll lead us to his crack dealer, take them both down.
The suspect is gonna meet our undercover at a gas station nearby.
We're gonna set up some surveillance positions and watch the deal go down.
Copy that.
What kind of vehicle is the suspect driving? Do we know? Copy.
Deals like this can go bad at any moment.
We've always got to be ready to move in quick to protect our undercover.
Is that us? All right, the dealer's white truck just arrived.
Our undercover is about to walk up.
He's walking up to the truck right now.
The undercover officer has approached the vehicle in an attempt to try to make the purchase.
It looks as though that they're talking right now.
He's standing outside the side of the vehicle.
It looks like it ain't going too good either.
Here we go.
Copy.
He's just leaving, Johnny.
There he goes.
We are now tailing the suspect to see if he'll lead us to his crack dealer.
Copy that.
Slow down.
Slow down.
Slow down.
Slow down.
We lost him.
I don't know where the this guy went.
This is him, no? That's him right there.
There, him.
All right, let's get up there, Johnny.
You're right behind him.
He's stopping right up here.
All right, let's go.
We're taking him down.
Police! Police! Come here! Police! Get down! Get down! Get on the ground.
Get on the ground.
Get on the ground, man.
Get on the ground.
Let me see your hands.
Hands behind your back, behind your back, behind your back.
All right, this here's the suspect that bought the pills, and the guy in the white shirt is the one who met him here.
Yeah, we're good.
What kind of pills did you sell? Those.
What kind? Tell me.
You still smoking crack? Let's search this other guy.
What you got in your pocket? Ready, man? The operation went exactly as planned, and the individual we bought the pills from led us straight to his crack dealer.
How many you reckon is in there? Yeah.
There's gonna be 10, 15, and so he'll be getting arrested for that, and the other guy will be arrested for selling the pills to our undercover.
These cases are important, because you hit different levels of dealers.
I mean, you hit the people that are actually using it, then you bump it up a little bit, and you take the person that selling it off the street, and then hopefully, you can bump it up from there and get a major distributor.
I mean, we do little stuff, medium stuff, and big stuff, but the point is, we never stop.
We're out there every night chasing the bad guys.
Thank you, man.
Thanks for all the good work.
Let's go.
All right.
Let's go.
Good police work is all about knowing your opponent and anticipating their every move.
That requires constant practice and keeping your skills razor-sharp.
Again.
When you're a police officer, anytime there's an encounter or an engagement, the strategy that I apply always really comes from the ancient philosophy of swordsmanship.
Straight into the throat, a very dangerous cut.
This one, there's no mercy.
Sword is very relevant today in the sense that when you've got to kick in a door and make sure you don't get shot or your team members don't get shot, you have to gain the best position.
This would really normally decapitate him, and I'm stopping.
Great Samurai killed when they have to, and they gave life when they could.
My technique is not all how to just kill somebody, but it's how to neutralize them without killing them.
Cut his thumb off.
Once that thumb is off, they're done.
Now you cut his achilles tendon.
That's a gift.
It's my way of saying, "you get to live.
" Swordsmanship is a philosophy.
It's a way of life where you learn how to not only protect yourself but all innocent people.
When you're a cop, all of those techniques and all those philosophies come into play.
Thank you Sensei.
Training with wooden swords is great, but nothing compares to a real Samurai sword, and later this week, I'll be testing some of the sharpest swords in the world.
Boy, man, it's always something.
Let's go.
There's a drunk over here by EMs that's creating a problem.
If he's violent, then we've got to kind of, you know, deal with that.
There's a drunk over here by EMs that's creating a problem.
If he's violent, then we've got to kind of, you know, deal with that.
Did y'all call somebody? Yeah.
He's drunk.
He's looking for a ride home.
We don't give rides.
All right.
You don't have anybody you can call to come pick you up, man? No, sir.
Do you have any money on you for a taxi? No, sir.
We can't just leave him here.
Well, I can give him money for a taxi if he'd use it.
Here's $20.
Oh, God bless you.
God bless you.
All right, why don't you grab a taxi, brother man? Today's my birthday, bro.
Today.
Today.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
So according to the Chinese astrology, you fall under the animal of the Dragon, which is a magical, mystical animal, so use your magic to get sober and do good and prosper, okay? Yes, sir.
Sometimes this job is about having patience and compassion and taking a minute to listen to what's wrong with people and see what you can do to help them.
I mean, I graduated from lsu.
I graduated in mechanical engineering, and I went to Stanford.
Stanford? Yeah, in California.
The man has a masters in mechanical engineering.
How old are you today? Uh, 58.
Man, you almost as old as him, you know that? Almost as old as who? That man, Mr.
Seagal, right there.
That's Steven, the man that gave you the money.
You've got to be kidding me.
You're Steven.
Yes, I am.
Steven Seagal.
Yes, sir.
Man, let me give you-- I love you, Steven.
Thank you, man.
Yeah.
I used to see you-- I used to see you, you know, hook up.
Boy, you--boy, you've got some good hands.
I love you, Steve.
Wow, you're a big old man.
Yes, sir.
This officer will give you a ride.
It's gonna be too long for a cab ride to come.
Oh, okay.
This officer will give you a ride.
Y'all be cool, you here? Get straight, man.
All right, I will.
Sometimes when you look into somebody's eyes, man, you just see this flash, just an instant of what he was, you know? Well, I think we made his night.
That's for sure.
Saved the man from going to jail on his birthday.
The reason why I became a police officer is because I wanted to get out to the people, be with the people, help the people.
That is part of being a warrior.
The great warriors in Asia, particularly Japan, were not just people who were warriors.
They were poets.
They were healers.
They were mystics.
They really understood the art of being a warrior is really practicing the arts of war for the purpose of stopping war.
And, you know, the sword symbolizes the soul of a Samurai and the soul of any great warrior.
Before you blink, you could lose your head.
You could lose your arms.
You could lose your legs.
You could get chopped in half.
That's how dangerous a Samurai sword is.
This may look easy to cut, but it's not.
It's very, very hard.
These are reeds.
This simulates a body.
Ready? Where's the machete? Let me show you how strong bamboo is.
Okay? As you can see, it cuts through it a little different.
The real weapon is really the swordsman, you know, and the mind behind the sword is the real weapon, because the mind is what possesses the knowledge and the wisdom.
Sword and the philosophy of sword is applicable today.
It's something that I believe in as my path, the path of, you know, perfecting the arts of war in order to stop war.
Thank you, Sensei.
