** Mind you, as we see with Alonzo's murder of the older DirtyCop, these are not men with loyalty to one another. Also, disturbingly, if Hoyt kept the money then they know he's a DirtyCop too.

** Chillingly, it's obvious at times that Alonzo is impressed by Jake's integrity and valor, if not amused. Not that it is going to change his mind in the least about what he's going to do to him....

* Remember when Alonso bribes the brass to push a warrant through? He's told to put it in a Deputy Chief's silver Mercedes. When Jake gets home, there's a silver Mercedes in front of the house, presumably to deliver the "crisply folded flag" Alonso mentioned. The brass was in on Alonso's plan, and they thought he was dead by then. They might've heard that an officer (Alonso) got killed, and assumed it was Jake.

* Alonso has no context to how Jake got out of the hit job at Smiley's apartment. When he asks Jake who his witnesses are he asks "Roger? Smiley?", he's saying this assuming that Smiley is dead, just like Roger. At the end of the film, when Jake has his gun still pointed at Alonso, not having killed him yet, Alonso realizes Jake likely hadn't killed Smiley.

* When Jake leaves Roger's house, he goes to the car, where Alonzo is already inside, on the phone. He says to "make sure that bathtub is clean." In retrospect, it was obvious he was talking to Smiley... this was the last straw, and Alonzo was ordering Jake's murder.
