A week before the events of "Training Day"[/b], Alonzo goes to Vegas. He runs into a Russian who starts talking shіt and Alonzo beats him to death.
Alonzo didn't know that the Russian was part of the Russian Mob, and as Smiley later said "it turns out, that Russian was a somebody..."
The plot with the Russian is an integral part of the plot, but really, it has a little to do with the whole picture.
Yes, Alonzo needs to get $1 million.
Yes, he knows that on the day on which "Training Day" takes place, he's going to get a "daisy-fresh rookie" and he's going to use him for his own personal gain.
IA knows that there are corrupt LAPD officers. Their primary target is Alonzo. They know Alonzo is a corrupt cop, who corrupts other cops.
They know that he deals with Bloods, Mexican gangs, major drug players, and other street scum from whom he can solicit information for his own personal gain.
Roger was Alonzo's "account". He was one of many "accounts" these cops have, as is implied in the movie during the restaurant scene with the Three Wise Men;
"It's an easy fix. I'll just cash in on an account...One of my old ones, my first one".
Alonzo knew Roger had $4 million stashed and that he was leaving the country in a year. He had to cash in on that account. Roger thought that he was in bed with the Police and that
he was the one playing Alonzo. Roger must have never listened to Smiley. Smiley, and Bones were the smart ones.
Smiley; "That's why I never shake his hand, homes, He don't respect nada."
Bones; "I'm sick of it, I can't stand him!"
Regardless of what you think. This thread isn't a debate whether Jake Hoyt is Internal Affairs. That's just my theory.
Watch "Training Day" from that perspective; Jake Hoyt is Internal Affairs, or FBI or god knows what. Watch that movie from that perceptive and a lot of details will come to light.
Look at Alonzo's face when Roger says that Jake played for North Hollywood High as a "Strong Safety". That word, Strong Safety, puts doubt in Alonzo. You can see it in his face.
After Alonzo shoots Roger. Cops, medics, etc show up on the scene. While Jake is standing there with that look on his face, Alonzo is talking to Smiley and tell him to make sure "the bathtub is clean..."
After Jake gets in the car with him, they have the following exchange, and this is where at lot is revealed through Alonzo's own words.
In reality, Jake is the one who is playing Alonzo. It is Jake's assignment to play Alonzo. It was Jake's job to act like he's a "daisy-fresh rookie".
At the beginning of the movie, when they're riding in the car; Alonzo asks Jake a bunch of questions about why he wants to be a narc. Jake gives him the standard Police Academy answers about why he wants to be a narc and Alonzo tells him to "unlearn that academy shіt"
Then Jake says this powerful line "
I'll do anything you want me to do."
That's Jake playing Alonzo.
but would the title be called "Training Day 2"? cause it would be weird. 
. Ethan Hawke was the perfect for this character and he nailed it like his life depends on it because Denzel brings the best out of him.
Jake saw what was Wrong and was too good of a Cop to let it go any further.
