PENHALL: So you're really gonna do it, huh?
-Yes, I'm gonna do it.
Why is it so important to you that I break up with Amy?
-I'll tell you why it's important--
because you've been dating her for 12 weeks,
but you've been talking about breaking up with her for 11.
-I'm driving you crazy, huh?
-You're driving her crazy.
You're driving yourself crazy.
Why don't you just do it and quit being a wimp?
-I'm not a wimp.
I like this girl.
I care about her.
Gotta handle these things very carefully.
-It's not fair to her.
You said 100 times you're bored.
There's no passion.
You don't even like the same restaurants.
-I know.
I just always had a problem breaking up with women.
I don't like to be the bad guy.
-Well, maybe if you do this, you'll
turn out to be the good guy, huh?
-Maybe.
-Look, you know what I always do?
I-- I drive a girl so crazy that finally she just says enough,
and then she breaks up with me.
-So that way you don't feel guilty about dumping her.
-You ever try that with Amy?
-It wouldn't work.
She's too even tempered.
-I hate that in women.
-You gonna tell me what's bothering you,
or do I have to guess?
-Nothing's bothering me.
-Tom.
Does this have anything to do with not
wanting to go to Chez Louis?
-I already told you.
I just don't like that place.
-You'd much rather have burnt hot dogs and sauerkraut.
-I like burnt hot dogs and sauerkraut.
-OK, we'll go get some burnt hot dogs and sauerkraut.
-No, no, we'll go to Chez Louis.
-It's all right.
It's cool.
Let's go get some burnt hot dogs and sauerkraut.
-Are you sure?
-I'm sure.
-You know, you're very even tempered.
-What's that supposed to mean?
-Nothing.
Look, let's just go have a quiet night at home.
What do you say?
-Arguing?
The last time we spent a quiet night at home,
the neighbors wanted to call the police.
-Yeah, well, it wasn't my fault.
-I never said it was.
-How many times are we gonna have this conversation?
-What is the matter with you?
-Nothing is the matter with me.
-Could've fooled me.
-Why don't we just save this 'til we get home, OK?
I don't want the neighbors to miss anything.
-Fine.
-Good.
AMY: Good.
-Fine.
-Great.
-Nobody move.
Anybody says a word, they're dead.
Empty the register.
Now.
Come on.
Come on!
Come on.
-Tom?
-Amy?
No!
THEME SONG: We never thought of finding
a place where we belong.
Don't have to stand alone.
We'll never let you fall.
Don't need permission to decide what you believe.
Ooh!
I said jump, down on Jump Street.
Your friends will be there when your back is to the wall.
You'll find you'll need us, 'cause there's no on else
to call.
When it looks hopeless, a decision's what you need.
You better be ready to, be ready to jump.
21 Jump Street!
PENHALL: I knocked about three times on his door.
Amy's dead.
-Hey, hey, guys.
-Hey, man.
What's up?
-Hey.
Hey, how you doing?
-Good, good.
-Uh, we was worried about you.
-No, look, don't.
I mean, it's-- it's been a tough couple of days,
but I think I'm gonna be OK.
-Did you go to the funeral?
-No, it's next week.
I miss anything?
-Um, not much.
-It's been pretty quiet, actually.
-Yeah?
What are you working on?
-Oh, just, you know, routine locker room dealer stuff.
CAPTAIN FULLER: Hey, Hanson.
-Hi, Captain.
-How you doing?
-Pretty good
-I can't tell you how sorry I am.
-Thank you.
-Uh, you wanna come into my office?
-Sure.
Listen, uh, did you guys have lunch?
You wanna have some lunch?
-Uh, yeah, we'll go get some burgers or something.
-Yeah, that sounds good.
-OK, all right.
-You know, he's taken that rather well.
-It's typical Hanson, man.
Guy'll bounce back from anything.
-Yeah, he's strong.
-Real strong.
-Do you feel like you're ready to come back to work?
-Yes, sir.
-Well, you look pretty good, all things considered.
-Well, it's been tough, but, uh, I think I've gotten through it.
-Well, you're not through it yet.
You know you still have to see the department psychiatrist.
-Yeah, but that's standard procedure
for anybody involved a shooting, right?
-Yeah, yeah.
That way, they don't single out any individual.
They also want you to stop by homicide,
be interviewed by the detectives assigned to the case.
-Well, whatever it takes.
You know there's nothing I'd like to see more than this guy
behind bars, Captain.
-It wasn't your fault, Hanson.
-I know.
-I mean, you had no way of knowing he was gonna shoot.
You couldn't just drop and kill him.
99 times out of 100, the perpetrator
comes in, points a gun, takes the money, and leaves.
You know that.
-Yeah.
But you know what I've come to realize
the last few days, Captain?
It just didn't make any sense.
I mean, it was a senseless killing.
You never really know what that means until it happens to you.
-I really am sorry for you, Hanson.
I realize that you someone you love,
there's nothing your friends can say to make it better.
Go see the shrink.
-He's not gonna make me lie down on a couch, is he?
DR. ENLOW: Tom, I want you to know this isn't an inquisition.
I just want to talk to you a little bit
to make sure you're OK.
-Sure, I understand.
-How are you coping?
-Well, I'm hurting a lot, but, uh, time
is supposed to take care of that, right?
-Time should help.
Have you shared any of this with your friends or Amy's family?
-No, I've been keeping to myself a bit.
It's the only way I know how to deal with the pain, you know?
-Well, this is a different kind of pain, Tom.
Mourning is part of the healing process.
-Yeah, well, I know a little bit about the healing process, Doc.
My father died when I was 16.
I'm not a person who finds consolation in tears.
I mean, if crying made me feel better, I'd do it.
But I gotta deal with this thing the best way
I know how, you know?
-Sure.
Well, how are you doing with guilt?
-What do you mean?
-Well, you're a cop, Tom.
A pretty good one, from what I hear.
It's normal for a cop to feel guilt
under these circumstances.
-Well, I can't change what happened.
I mean, I'm a good cop, but nobody
could've stopped that guy from killing her in 3.3 seconds.
-How do you know that it took 3.3 seconds?
-I saw the tape.
-The tape?
-The tape of the shooting from the store camera.
-You looked at a tape of the shooting?
-Yeah.
-How many times?
-Just once, Doc.
I'm not crazy.
A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P- A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P
-What about his eyes?
-Wired.
I'd say he was coked out.
-Amphetamines?
-No, not that I could smell.
-Smell?
-Yeah, you can tell a speed freak from his perspiration.
-Did he touch anything else in the store?
-Nothing.
He took the money out of the clerk's hand,
turned, and fired.
-.357.
-.357, blue steel, regular handle, 4-inch barrel.
-Was he nervous?
-Yes.
-Was there any hesitation?
-What do you mean?
-Did he just turn and shoot?
-Yeah.
-Was there an opening?
I mean, was there a moment when you
thought you could've gotten your gun?
-He had his gun right on the clerk.
-The whole time?
-Yeah, except for when it was on me.
Look, it went down very fast.
He just whirled and bang.
-So there was nothing you could do?
-I already told you.
I didn't have a chance, period.
-Look, I didn't mean anything by that.
-It's OK.
-What do you say we take a break here?
-Yeah.
-Coffee?
-No, thanks.
I'm fine.
MUGGER [ON TV]: Nobody move.
Anybody says a word, they're dead.
Open the register.

HANSON [ON TV]: Amy?
AMY [ON TV]: Tom?
CAPTAIN FULLER: How does he look to you?
-Oh, he looks all right.
-Well, Hanson's a pretty tough kid.
Given the circumstances, he'll bounce back as fast as anyone.
-Adam, I said he looks all right.
-What do you mean?
-How in the hell did he get access
to the tape of that shooting?
-I didn't know he'd seen that tape.
-He told me exactly how much time
it would've taken if he had to stop the killing-- 3.3 seconds.
-What are you saying?
-That there's a lot of denial going on in that boy.
He's talking a very good game, but I
don't think he believes it.
I really need to talk to some of his friends, interviews
as soon as possible.
-I'll get you a list.
-Maybe even you.
-No problem.
-Stafford, Richert, how's it going?
-All right, Hanson.
-Any new developments?
-Uh, we're working on it.
So hang in there, buddy
-What about that killing in Lombard last night?
You think it was the same guy?
-Hey, there's lots of Fast & Readys.
It could be another guy altogether,
despite what the newspapers want you to believe.
-Do you think I could another look at the report,
just in case I missed something?
-You took the report three times in the last 24 hours.
They still look the same.
-Sorry.
Oh, there's something about the guy I forgot to tell ya.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
The jacket he was wearing, there's was
a patch, like, a, uh, military patch.
-You told us that yesterday.
-Yeah.
Yeah, I forgot.
Did you know you can take all the pieces of pepperoni
off a slice of pizza in 3.3 seconds?
-Yeah?
-I'm just saying, 3.3 seconds is quite a long time.
-Yeah, I guess it is.
-Well, you were asking if there was
something I could have done.
Well, well, I could've taken all the pieces of pepperoni
off that slice.
-Rachel, another round on me.
-Corner pocket.
I believe you owe me $20.
-I don't think so.
-Come on, $20.
-I'll tell you what.
Why don't we go another game?
-Lay the $20 on me, then we'll go another game.
-Come on, let's go another game.
-What is it?
What , are you trying to stiff me or what?
-Stiff you?
Nah, I ain't trying to stiff you.
Come here.
I wanna show you something.
You see this mole here?
-Yeah, that's really nice.
-My father's got the same mole.
-I'm real impressed, Angelo.
-But he ain't got this.
How about another game?
-Hey!
Hey, man.
Uh, what's going on?
-Not much.
-You gotta be going through hell.
I mean, to break up with her, and now she's gone.
If you ever wanna talk, you know--
-No, I didn't break up with her.
I loved her.
We were getting along great.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
I changed my mind.
-I-- I didn't know.
-Don't feel bad.
I'm fine.
-Was that weird or what?
-Real weird.
-Should we tell Fuller?
-Nah, he-- he just needs a little break.
-Well, let's hope so.
-You're famous, man.
You're-- you're the Convenience Killer.
-Lombard?
What the hell is this?
I was nowhere near Lombard last night.
They're blaming me for everything in the city.
Come on, let's find the clown in charge.
[phone rings]
-Stafford, Homicide.
-Hey, I'm the Convenience Killer.
I blew that chick away last week.
And I'll tell you how you can know, OK? $67.
That's what I got out of the deal.
Now, I was nowhere near Lombard last night.
That was not me.
Get your facts straight.
Bye.
-Jimmy.
-You shouldn't mess with the cops like that.
-Come on.
-They could trace your phone.
That girl last week, her boyfriend was a cop.
-Yeah?
If he was a cop, where was his gun?
ANGELO [ON TV]: Come on.
Come on.
HANSON [ON TV]: Amy?
AMY [ON TV]: Tom?
[gunshot]
HANSON [ON TV]: No!
Amy?
AMY [ON TV]: Tom?
HANSON [ON TV]: No!
[knock on door]
-Can I come in?
-No.
-Well, I'm coming in.
I got some movies, and we're gonna watch them.
-Thank you very much, sir.
Would you like anything else?
-That's it.
-Would you like some pretzels?
We have them marked down.
The twisted ones, they look just like little hearts.
-No, that's enough.
Just the beer.
-OK.
I kinda like the sticks myself.
But these are very fresh, really nice and crisp.
-You must have charged me too much for tax.
You owe me another $1.50.
-Geez, you're-- you're absolutely right, sir.
I'm sorry, sir.
Have a nice night.
I wanna open the safe.
-I can't.
-Give me the combination.
-They don't give me the combination.
It's for my own protection.
-I think they do for you own protection.
Now, what's the combination?
And what's the tax on a cases of beer?
[spy music]
-You OK?
-What are you doing?
-Well, you feel asleep during the movie, Hanson,
so I put some music on.
-Where's the tape?
-Hanson, that tape is sick.
I can't believe you're watching a tape
of your girlfriend getting killed.
-Where's the tape?
-You've seen it enough, man.
-Where is it?
-I'm taking it back.
Where-- where did you even get that tape?
You're not even supposed to have it.
It's-- it's police evidence.
-I'm a police officer.
-Hanson, what else could you possibly see on this tape?
It's the same ending, I promise you.
ANGELO [ON TV]: Nobody move.
Anybody says a word, they're dead.
-How many times have you seen this?
-122 times.
But I don't watch the whole tape.
I watch 3.3 seconds.
ANGELO [ON TV]: Come on.
Come on.
HANSON [ON TV]: Amy?
HANSON: 3.3 seconds that slipped through my fingers.
HANSON [ON TV]: No!
HANSON: 3.3 seconds where I could've
done a thousand different things.
But I didn't move.
AMY [ON TV]: Tom?
HANSON [ON TV]: No!
-Do you know how many things you can do in 3.3 seconds?
You can take off your shoes, pop up a beer,
and shoot someone in 3.3 seconds.
-Come on, Hanson.
-You can hold your finger down on the remote control
and pass 17 stations in 3.3 seconds.
You can open a can of tuna fish, shuffle
and bridge a deck of cards, could twist the tops off
six bottles of ginger ale in 3.3 seconds.
-Hanson, please.
-You can ring a doorbell 22 times, lock and unlock
a deadbolt four times, or sing the entire alphabet
in 3.3 seconds.
-Hanson, please!
Please!
CAPTAIN FULLER: What exactly would you like me to do, Hoffs?
-I don't know.
I mean, he was really strange, Captain.
-Yeah, I got a call from the homicide team.
He had a very bizarre conversation with them.
-Well, can't we do something to move the investigation along?
-There were 540 murders in this city last year, Hoffs.
Since Amy was killed, there have been 12.
-But downtown says they got a task force on this guy.
-Sure.
But the problem is some of these convenience
stores get robbed three and four times a month.
They're calling him the Convenience Killer,
but we could be talking about 30 guys.
White male, 6'1", greasy hair, sunken eyes?
That's half the police department.
How bad was he really, Hoffs?
-Bad.
His place was a wreck.
There were empty beer bottles, empty whiskey bottles.
The only thing that was clean was his gun.
-He was shouting.
-Yeah, especially about these 3.3 seconds.
-What did he do when you tried to take the tape?
-He went wild.
He took it out of my purse.
-Have you ever seen him that agitated before?
-Hanson?
Never.
I'm really worried about him.
I mean, he's like the most dedicated cop I know.
He's-- he's almost perfect the way he goes about things,
right down to the spelling on a report.
-Has he always been that way?
-Ever since I've known him.
Meticulous.
He would get up and go to the dictionary and look up a word.
-Has he said anything to you about Amy?
-No, not a word.
And I think I know why.
-Why?
-I think he's repressing a deep-rooted fear that
dates back to a traumatic childhood incident that
was compounded by the shock of his father's killing,
and the inability to let the emotional dam burst
is manifesting itself in some truly eccentric behavior.
-Did you take psychology in college?
-Yeah, Psych 101.
I got an A in it.
Not bad, huh?
-Not bad.
-Is there anything else?
-I'm not gonna answer that.
-I just want to know how much time you spend together.
-Why?
-I'm trying to get a feeling for your relationship.
-We don't have a relationship.
We're just friends.
Can I go?
-You can leave anytime you want.
Do you wanna leave?
-What do you mean by that?
-Douglas, why don't you just relax?
This really won't take long.
-What are you writing down?
-Just a note.
-It's about me, isn't it.
-Have you ever been to a psychiatrist before?
-Why do you wanna know?
-I'm curious.
-Are you gonna write it down?
-Douglas, I think that's enough for today.
-Well, I'm glad I could be of help.
Oh, by the way, I feel a lot better.
-Hey, kid, let's not get started again, huh?
-Listen, I'm sorry about the other day.
I was little freaked out.
-Yeah.
Look, I heard you guys got a break.
I heard the guy phoned ya.
-Yeah, he did.
-Well, did you get anything?
What'd he say?
-Look, Hanson, you're a good guy.
So, uh, why don't you give us a little room here
and, uh, let us do our job?
-Yeah, OK, sure.
Look, I just want to know you're getting somewhere.
You know, it helps me sleep at night.
-Well, we really don't have that much.
-Anything.
Just give me something.
-Well, we know he called us from a pool hall.
We could hear balls hitting in the background.
-That's it?
That's the big clue?
There's gotta be 40 pool rooms in this city.
-55.
-I can't believe this.
You can't stake out all those places.
What are you gonna do?
-We're gonna do what we're gonna do.
Why don't you ease up on yourself, Hanson?
-Ease up?
You've had this thing for days.
You're getting nowhere.
You're gonna put this into a dead file,
and no one's gonna look at it for six months!
Don't tell me to ease up.
-And this is your car phone?
-Yeah, that's my car phone.
-But Daryl, you don't have a car, man.
-That's why I don't need it.
-Yeah?
What's the number?
-Uh, this is the number.
-No, this phone is stolen.
I make a call on this phone, they'll
trace the call and bust me, man.
-How are they gonna trace the call?
You're in a car, down the street.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's right.
-Plus, they won't know where to send the bill.
-All right.
Yeah, I like that.
I'll take it.
Uh, $20.
-$20 bucks for a car phone you don't gotta pay for?
$50.
-Aw, man.
Come on.
All right, all right, all right, OK.
Look, I'll tell you what I'm going to do, Daryl.
I'm gonna give you my new number-- 723.
-You want to make a deal?
-Look, the convenience store killer?
I know who he is.
-Daryl, don't waste the lady's time.
You know stuff's been in the papers.
-Yeah, yeah, but I know the one that
killed the cop's girlfriend.
-Where does he live?
-Don't know.
But I know where he hangs out.
[knock on door]
-What?
[knock on door]
Listen--
-Can I come in?
-This is not a real good time, Captain.
-I can see that.
-I haven't had a lot of time to clean up, you know what I mean?
-Yeah, I know what you mean.
-Look, Coach, I know what you're gonna say.
I'm gonna get through this thing.
-No, you don't know what I'm gonna say.
Because I don't know what I'm gonna say.
I came by here to see what kind of shape your head's in.
All I see is chaos.
-I'm in mourning.
-You're in mourning?
You didn't even go to the funeral.
-It's not until next week.
-Amy Pearson was buried three days ago.
You didn't even know that.
And you didn't love her.
-No, you're wrong, Captain.
I love her.
I didn't love her.
In fact, I was trying to break up with her.
But now that she's gone, I love her.
I keep thinking-- if I'd have driven a little slower
or if I had taken a different street
or if I'd have said yes to Chez Louis-- if.
Five minutes either way, we wouldn't have been there.
-You can't blame yourself, Hanson.
-I should've done something.
The guy turned his back on me.
Now if I'd have done the right thing, I could have saved her.
-Hey.
Every day, every person on this planet
does something they wish they could take back.
But it doesn't work that way.
You've got to leave it behind.
-I can't.
-You've got to, Hanson.
Nothing can bring that moment back.
Bury the dead.
-I can't just let her go like that.
I need something.
-What do you need?
-I need to know that the job is being done,
that even if I didn't get the guy that somebody will.
-Somebody will.
-What are you saying?
-I'm not saying anything.
-Don't do this to me, Captain.
You know something.
You gotta tell me.
Please, I need it.
-Look, I'll tell you what I know about this case, Hanson.
I'm gonna feel real stupid if you
hit the streets looking for revenge.
-I won't.
You got my word.
-Before this happened, your word would have been enough.
Betray me, and things will never be the same between us.
-I won't.
Please.
I gotta know.
-Police!
Freeze!
-Empty the register.
Now.
-Tom?
-Amy?
No!
[beeping]
Hello, Daryl.
-Who the hell are you?
-I'm the cop who wants to know about the shooter,
and I'm not gonna ask as nicely as the DA.
I'll pull the trigger on you, I swear.
Now, where does he live?
-I don't know.
-Come on.
-I don't know.
-Where is he?
-Doing a job.
-Where?
-Liquor store, Dockside and Third.
You really a cop?
-I used to be.
[gunshot]
This is King-12.
211 in progress, Dockside and Third.
Need emergency medical.
Plainclothes officer in pursuit, requesting backup.
-Captain, Fast & Ready.
Clerk injured.
Hanson called it in.
-Get back to you.
-Drop your gun.
You got three seconds.
One, two--
-You got him, huh?
-Yeah, I did.
-Good job, Hanson.
-Thanks.
-You did everything the way a good cop is supposed to.
Did you get back that 3.3 seconds?
-No.
