Capítulo 7 de 23 · 2'59"
Alonzo has a suspect on the street and terrorizes him with questions rather than fists, dragging up things the man would rather forget. "You're lucky I have more pressing business," he finally says — not mercy, just a reminder that he can walk away whenever he wants. The fear is the point.
Alonzo Walks Off
The Suspect's Revenge Talk
On the street, Alonzo corners a suspect who claims he has no money. When he catches the lie, Alonzo makes him stand, turn around, and answer a stream of questions about what he said and did, backing him down without ever throwing a punch. Then he walks off, telling the man it is his lucky day.
This is not a real interrogation; nobody here is being charged. Alonzo has already won the moment he tells the man, "Lucky I don't make you eat that dog," and the questions that follow are pure theater — "So I'm lying? Am I lying?" The man on the other end can only beg: "No. Please. Please." Alonzo's closing line, "You're lucky I have more pressing business," makes clear the whole thing was a display, a way to show the street who decides what happens next. When the man finally curses him from behind, it is the only power he has left.

No. He threatens him constantly — talking about cutting him, making him choose, telling him to close his eyes — but never throws a punch. The intimidation is the weapon.
M.O. stands for modus operandi, a criminal's usual way of working. Alonzo uses it to sum up the man's pattern of targeting young girls.
Because he was humiliated and could not fight back while Alonzo was there. Once Alonzo turns away, cursing him is the only retaliation he can manage.
