Exley
If I were him, by movie's end I wouldn't have been too comfortable in my position as detective lieutenant on the LA force. With White gone, he had no friends left in town and a lot of powerful enemies (like the DA) on whom he had blackmail material. It seems to me that Exley's many foes would bide their time and before too long kill him (probably in a way earning Exley a final, post-mortal medal of honor). Exley would be better off hightailing it out of the country after the final awards ceremony, or at least join White in Arizona.
