McQ

In the credits, we saw Stan Boyle (William Bryant) kill two patrolmen, then found out he’s a cop, then he gets shot and we find out his partner is John Wayne (title character), awakened on his boat in the Seattle harbor by J-C (Jim Watkins), in McQ, 1974, directed by John Sturges.

Seattle cop John Wayne (title character) wants his captain (Eddie Albert) to let him go after the drug dealer he thinks shot his partner, which of course he won’t allow, so Duke goes ahead and surveils the guy, Santiago (Al Lettieri), anyway, early in director John Sturges’ McQ, 1974.

John Wayne (title character), a Seattle cop who’s resigned so he can chase the killer of his partner, ambushes bartender and drug-user Myra (Colleen Dewhurst), who we learn was his partner’s informant, enticing her with goods he took off a street dealer, an oddly intimate scene from McQ, 1974.
