New York police detective John Shaft arrests Walter Wade Jr. for a racially motivated slaying. But the only eyewitness disappears, and Wade jumps bail for Switzerland. Two years later Wade returns to face trial, confident his money and influence will get him acquitted -- especially since he's paid a drug kingpin to kill the witness.
Shaft is a Action, Adventure, Crime, Thriller film released in 2000.

Kearney, how's retirement?

Catfish are jumping.
466
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,289
Yeah, I heard you bought a big house
out in Nassau County.
467
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,046
Four-bedroom colonial,
right on the water.
468
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:57,929
Let me ask you something.
469
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,686
How does a third-rate, pencil-pushing,
apple-stealing, dick-head like you...

00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,208
afford a four-bedroom colonial
in Nassau motherfucking County? Huh?
471
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,443
How much they pay you, Kearney?
472
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,524
After working a job uptown for 28 years...
473
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,889
you know what I like best
about where I live?
474
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,402
How do I say this?
475
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,011
It's a restricted community.
476
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,610
Your Honor, my client did not fly home
5,000 miles to jump bail.
477
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,127
- You mean jump bail again.
- RASAAN: No doubt.
478
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,647
He was in the wind for two years, judge.
479
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:39,050
And if he decides to take off again,
the mood of the people in this city...
480
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:40,361
RASAAN: Talk about the people!
481
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,807
TORRES: We can't risk the possibility...
482
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:47,966
of waiting another two years,
another two months, two days, two hours.
483
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:52,842
The district attorney's office
is ardently opposed to any kind of bail.
484
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,241
- How about no bail?
- Remove that man.
485
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,283
- Get him out of here.
- RASAAN: How about no bail?
486

Hey, back up, son! Back up, son!

You better get off me! Get off me!
489
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,767
Your point is well taken, Mr. Torres.
490
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:11,847
The defendant is hereby ordered
to surrender his passport to this court.
491
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,487
However, I believe that young Mr. Wade...
492
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:20,771
is sincere in his desire
to deal with whatever form of judgment...
493
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,083
this room deems necessary to deliver.
494
00:35:24,240 --> 00:35:26,891

You were right.
Fuck that job. Fuck the badge.
