"Lost" (2004): Season 3: Episode 4 -- "The Others" perform a medical procedure on Sawyer.
Payback (1999) -- Clip: Hey Porter
Level 26: Dark Origins (2009) -- It is well known among law enforcement personnel that murderers can be categorized on a scale of twenty- five levels of evil, from the naive opportunists starting out at Level 1 to the organized, premeditated, torture-murderers who inhabit Level 25. What almost no one knows—except for the elite unnamed investigations group assigned to hunt down the world’s most dangerous killers, a group of men and women accounted for in no official ledger, headed by the brilliant but reluctant operative Steve Dark—is that a new category of killer is in the process of being defined.
"Miami Vice" (1984): Season 4: Episode 14 -- Crockett and Tubbs (Don Johnson, Philip Michael Thomas) suspect a Chilean chief of police in a double murder case.
Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005) -- Clip: It's Got More Pain In It
