English term or phrase: the one-two
Seorang polisi menanyai seorang korban penganiayaan. Si korban bilang bahwa saudaranya pernah memperingatkannya tentang si pelaku. Si polisi bertanya siapa saudara si korban itu:

- Who's your brother?
- He's on the job, the one-two.

Dalam adegan berikutnya, saudara si korban adalah seorang polisi. Apa ya terjemahan "the one-two" di sini?

Thanks.
