[Police Filter] Voice

Look out, kids, but John McClane's been thinkin'. Probably too much, as you can tell by my bar tab lately. Blame it on not having Sally around anymore. Brace yourselves.

I'm opening this up to everybody on the imPort force to get a read on where we stand. Just talkin' here, nothing official, nothing I'm gonna hold anybody to, all right? No badges or ranks for this.

I'm sure we all heard it when the Porter bitch told us that we're not supposed to be her personal army, but we're supposed to step up to the plate here with this HIVE mess. I know we all hate that grinnin' bitch for yankin' us here and playin' around with our lives, but the party line's always been that we're here to help. The fact that most of us have ridiculous fuckin' super powers probably means we're supposed to help the whole country and not just this one town.

Yeah, we're all breakin' our backs tryin' to cover the cop needs in this town with the handful of us and the few thousand misfits and badge-sniffers we've got shoring up the native side of the force, but the whole city of Los Angeles just pretty much declared war on America, and that might go for the rest of California, too, who knows? There was a time I'd have been all in favor of wiping LA off the map, but times have changed.

So I'm throwin' this out there for us to talk about, because I sure as hell don't know which way to turn on it. Do you think we SHOULD marshal up every last one of us freaks, including the whole police force and every one of those super teams and maybe even some of the assholes in lockup, and just head out there and put an end to that fucking place before they figure out how to dupe the porter and start bringing in their own heavyweight motherfuckers to shit in our corn flakes? I mean, Jesus Christ, look at some of you guys and the fucking impossible shit you can do. Maybe all this jurisdictional shit doesn't need to apply right now.

Maybe the sooner we bring that asshole mayor and his giant pack of psychos down, the sooner we can all go home, huh?

Tell me I'm wrong. Tell me I'm nuts. Tell me what you want. Whatever. I just figure this is something huge and everybody oughta weigh in on it, 'cause I'm sure as hell not the smartest guy in the room.

And by the way, in case you didn't know, my daughter Lucy's gone home. Another explanation for the bar tab.

Chief...it don't matter how many go an' how many stay: if one person here gets hurt while any a us are off over there, it'll be our necks. Any good we done'll mean nothin'. We'll be the bad guys to every citizen in this city that don't got a comm whether we win or lose.

Not the same amount. At least they won't be able to say we abandonned 'em.
