[traffic sounds]
-16 to 18 years old?
You've got to be able to drive.
You've got to be able to be bailed out.
I don't want anyone calling your parents.
[horn honks]
-This one's mine.
You know?
I'm telling you.
I think I'd do almost anything for $1,000.
Bo Rivers.
Ganja truck.
[starts car]
See you for breakfast.
-Charles?
It's Steve-o in San Marta.
-Where you calling from?
Yeah.
OK.
Find Bob for me, will you?
-Can I help you?
-How fast do you think you were going?
-Uh, 55?
No, look, I'm sorry.
My mind was someplace else.
Write it up.
I'll keep an eye on it.
-What are we carrying?
-Just stuff.
-Yeah?
Stuff of an agricultural nature?
We've got a fruit fly quarantine in this county, son.
Why don't you stay right where you are.
-Uh.
[sniffs]
[groans]
-Well, this sure ain't peapods.
THEME SONG: We never thought we'd
find 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 need us 'cause there's no one else to call.
When it was hopeless, a decision's what you need.
You'd better be ready to, be ready to jump!
21 Jump Street.
-I don't need this from you.
I take you to a nice place.
I expect you to act accordingly.
-Tony.
-Shut up, Judy!
-Oh my god.
-We don't want any trouble here.
-Then back off!
-Tony, why don't you just sit back down.
-Naw, I think we're leaving.
They don't want us anyhow.
Mmm.
Where do you think you're going?
-Hey friend, it's time for you to leave.
-Yeah?
I think we'll stay wherever we want.
-I don't think so.
-All right.
We're going.
-Why don't you stay and finish your dinner?
-[sighs] That was really stupid.
-You're welcome.
-Oh, thanks, thanks, I guess.
You don't know what you just did.
-This is a-- a nice restaurant.
That was not a nice scene.
Don't worry about it.
-He took the car.
-Look.
We made you stay for this.
It's on us, OK?
Just sit, chill out.
Have a glass of wine or something.
-Huh, yeah, sure.
[champagne cork popping]
-Hey.
-Hey, yourself.
-Is everything all right?
-Oh, everything is much better.
Thank you.
I didn't really thank you properly before, Charles.
Thank you.
-Oh, it's OK.
It's-- it's like bandits.
We got to steal the pretty girl.
We sent Bob over.
He likes that sort of thing.
-Yeah.
Boy, this-- this is a nice place.
-[laughs] Is this-- um--
-Yeah, it's from my house.
It's kind of neat, huh?
I mean with the ocean and all?
-Yeah, it's real neat.
[both laugh]
-Highway Patrol found a local high school student
hauling cannabis last night.
-Well, what's that?
Like $100 fine.
It's like a parking ticket.
Come on, Captain.
We're halfway to decriminalization now.
-He had 1,200 pounds.
-That's, um, a big ticket.
-Bo Rivers, senior, South Coast High.
They've been using juveniles to bring this stuff in.
I want you guys to get in there, work in offload.
-Who's they?
CAPTAIN FULLER: Charles Greeting.
-Guy's like the biggest trafficker in the business.
[whistles]
CAPTAIN FULLER: So make a good impression.
How's everything going, Hoffs?
-So far, so good.
It's funny, though, now that I write this thing up.
I thought he was hitting on me last night.
He wanted me to stay over.
But I think he was just trying to protect me from Con here.
-Thanks for your help, Tony.
I guess, uh, you were convincing,
huh, Lieutenant Brandt?
-Uh, Lieutenant Con would be fine.
-[smirks]
-You said administrative narcotics would be dull.
-Yeah, well, we got a break.
We knew Charles Greening was using juveniles to offload.
Now we know what high school.
I'm sending Ioki and Penhall in.
See if we can get them a job.
-You'll never catch Greening with a load.
And you never get enough loads to hurt him.
The only way to take him down is to take down
the whole organization.
Now the way to get Charles is on a CCE.
That's Operating a Continuing Criminal Enterprise.
I can help you with that.
Let me do it.
It's going to require a lot of paperwork from you,
-Tell me about it.
-What is your help going to entail, Lieutenant.
-Every time you come in, you talk, I write.
Names, places, and faces.
And we can fill in the blanks, connect Charles
to one clean piece of business.
It can all come down.
-OK.
You got it.
-I don't know anything about boats, waves, or anything.
-We're going to Surfer High, and I don't even tan.
-We're going to be the biggest geeks in the school.
-Hey, yeah.
I think we are!
-Peat moss.
This cop thinks I'm hauling peat moss.
So I wind up getting busted 'cause of a--
TOGETHER: Fruit fly quarantine.
[laughter]
-Hey!
Aren't we building a sculpture today?
Remember?
No art supplies, find things, make something.
-What'd you get?
-Paper towel, masking tape.
-Hey, what are we doing?
-This is art class, right?
-Yeah, we're doing art.
-That's a stripe.
-Stripes are key.
-Uh huh?
-We're the Swark twins.
Uh, Doug--
-Henry--
TOGETHER: Swark.
-We're new.
-You're related?
-'Course, we're twins.
-You're not identical twins.
-No, then we'd look alike.
-But you're twins.
-Mixed marriage.
-Yeah, we're born two minutes apart.
-In two different countries.
-Yeah.
Well, perhaps you two can make smaller art?
-Hi!
How're you doing?
-Ho, fine.
-You're in our art class.
-Yeah!
Did you like our sculpture?
-Hey, you guys are not twins.
And you can't be this geeky.
I mean, no one is this geeky.
-Maybe they are this geeky.
-Nah, it worked in our old school.
-Teachers leave us alone.
-Principals leave us alone.
-Students leave us alone.
-That's why we had to move.
We got too lonely.
-Everybody leaves you alone.
So you get lonely.
-That's funny.
-Hey, kick buddy.
Three bucks a head at the beach.
You going?
Is this cool?
-[IMITATING] Yeah!
This is cool!
-Come on.
We don't like the beach.
-Yeah, we don't like water.
-But we like beer.
[snicker]
-Ha, ha.
These guys kill me.
-It's not the first time.
-We killed a family of six in Oregon.
-Huh?
[remote control car noises]
-I'm glad you called.
-I don't know.
Maybe I had a good time last time I was here.
Maybe it was just heavy rebound.
-Yeah?
Whatever.
-They need you downstairs.
-Sorry about this.
Could you get up?
-Excuse me?
-I'm going to have to frisk you.
-You're kidding.
-Or ask you to leave.
-You find anything interesting?
-That guy you were with, that night at the restaurant.
Wh- wh- wh-- what's he do?
What's his name?
-What business is it of yours?
Tony Churson.
He dabbled in import/export, the pallet kind.
Happy?
-You have any idea what Charles does?
-So?
-Well, then maybe you understand a little bit of paranoia
keeps us all alive.
-Your good buddy just decided to frisk me!
-Well, that's Bob.
Look.
I don't know what to tell you.
I guess if you really don't like what goes on here,
you could leave.
-Hey, what is it with you guys and this twin thing?
-Yeah, I mean how could you guys be twins anyhow?
-We just are.
-Yeah, maybe we were adopted.
-At the same time or two minutes apart.
Got the same parents.
-I don't get this.
-Well, look.
You got your twins that look alike, right?
-Then you get the twins who don't look alike.
-Like us.
-Still don't get this.
-Look, do you guys want something?
-Uh, we heard your story in art class.
-I learned your story in the hall.
-It's a good story.
You tell it well.
We're hoping to publish a collection of short stories.
Are they going to let you back to work?
-Yeah, I think so.
I mean, it wasn't like it was my fault.
-We're looking for a job.
-You know, in one of the local industries.
-OK, around here, you can sell burgers for $3.25 an hour.
But if you have a certificate, you can lifeguard at $7.
Or you could make a night run for $1,000.
-$1,000!
-That's a lot of striped shirts.
[snigger]
-Look, hey guys, like, we don't know you.
-Well, that can be remedied.
Just come over for dinner and meet the triplets.
-Quints.
-They're quints now?
Oh, well, maybe we could go somewhere else.
Those guys are kind of strange.
-You guys are kind of bizarre.
DOUG: So can you get us a job?
-I don't know.
Maybe.
-I still don't get how you guys could be twins.
-Dougie?
-Mmm.
-I'm not sure I get it either.
-What you got?
-Charles Greening must have somebody
in at South Coast precinct.
They pulled Tony Churson's records.
They're checking up on your girl.
-Churson was your cover the night at the restaurant.
You're not a very nice person.
You sell drugs and you've done time.
-Well, they bought me as Hoffs's boyfriend.
-If they bought you, that means that they bought Hoffs.
-Your g is in.
-[laughs] OK, OK.
-This is the best of both worlds.
Tom makes the best burgers and fries.
And whoever this is in France makes good champagne.
-[laughs] This is strange.
Fun but incredibly strange.
-Tom's going to boil some eggs, chop some onions,
make some toast, but he still doesn't
get why we want to eat fish eggs.
[phone rings]
-Yo, Tom's Diner.
Yeah, yeah, he is.
Hi!
Hi.
What am I?
Your answering service?
There's a phone call for you here.
-Great. who's in jail now.
-I'm glad you came back to see him.
And I know, the day he'd have made me go out and find you.
-Well, he seems real special.
-He is.
Some of his ideas are a little strange, but he's a good guy.
He's real generous.
-Is it any good?
No, we just imported six tons of orange pekoe.
-You know, a lot of-- a lot of the people you
seen around Charles, we-- we were all in high school
together.
He can get real lonely.
He likes to be able to-- to come downstairs
in the middle of the night and find somebody
in the living room to talk to.
-Hey, who are you going to work with, but your friends?
You got to have guidelines in a business like this.
You just deal with people you trust.
You got to have integrity, got be reliable,
and you don't use guns.
You stay nonviolent.
Just don't do business with those people again.
Right?
-Yeah.
I-- it's like we bring stuff in now, and we use local kids.
They can't go to jail.
They can't deal anybody anything.
And they need the money.
It's great.
Everybody makes out.
-It doesn't even sound like it should be against the law.
-It shouldn't.
[laugh]
Then there's the last thing, the most important thing.
Reading people.
I met you and I knew you were good people right off, before I
even knew you.
You got to be able to do that.
You are good people, aren't you, Jude?
-[laughs] Yeah.
Yeah.
-Listen.
I know this sounds a little weird, but are you guys narcs.
-Yeah, you're under arrest.
-Hey, do we look like narcs?
-Naw, you guys look like bookends.
[snickers]
-What kind of books do you think would be between us.
-Oh, come on guys.
Where are you guys from?
-Akron.
Akron, Ohio.
-Yeah, rubber capital of the world.
-What?
-Well, you know Goodyear, Firestone, blimps,
all-weather radials.
-You thought we meant the other kind [snigger]
That's Dungstown, Ohio.
Look at the side of the package sometime.
-Well, who has time to look at the side of the package.
I mean, you tear it open.
It's dark.
You're in a rush.
I believe we were right in the middle of you
telling us how we could get a job?
-[clears throat] Look.
We can be serious.
-Yeah, we won't embarrass you.
We won't screw up.
Job.
-So what do you think?
-I don't know, guys.
I just don't know.
-We go out to dinner at this greasy spoon,
someplace Charles used to go when he was 17.
And they bring us champagne and caviar.
-You had a good time.
-They're little boys, little pirate boys.
Charles has even got this thing about not using guns.
He just won't do business with people again.
-Marijuana comes into this country
in truly enormous amounts.
Hundreds of tons.
And there are only a handful of people
who control that importation.
Charles is one.
And there are enormous sums of money at stake.
[sighs] I don't want to scare you, but don't kid yourself,
Judy.
If they find out who you are, they will kill you.
JUDY: Five seconds.
-He's tired.
[whoops]
-And how shuffleboard or croquet or something
that suits Charles's advanced age.
-How about a horse?
-How about a rest?
JUDY: Come on.
-I'm going to make sure the monitors are set up today.
-Monitors?
-Yeah.
Every place, federal, Coast Goard bandwidth know to man.
It gets good stereo reception too.
Paul Blaigly.
He was the mix master.
-Mr. High tech, huh?
-Whoosh!
-Bob gave everybody scramblers for Christmas.
Go ahead.
Wire tap this, guys.
[beeping]
-Eric.
yeah, tonight.
The wheat pools.
Two semis.
Your guys.
Okey doke.
[hangs up phone] I just made $800 grand.
I love my job.
I deserve a reward.
Want to do something silly?
All right, guys.
As soon as I'm done playing with this, it's all yours.
-I need Tony Brandt.
-Here.
Here you go, kid.
Yeah, the wheat pool's tonight.
Some kind of loads coming in.
I got to go.
Bye.
-Who are you calling, Jude?
-A girl's got to have some secrets, doesn't she?
OK, it was my boyfriend Tony Churson.
Happy?
-Yeah.
-Who is now my ex-boyfriend Tony Churson.
He left a message on my machine, wanted to apologize,
wanted to know if we could get back together.
And I guess I kind of realized that I'm
pretty happy right now.
In fact, I'm real happy.
So I told him to go away.
Is that our boat?
I finally got out of there at 4 o'clock this morning, Captain,
barely.
What the hell am I doing?
-You're trying to do the job of a good undercover cop.
-It's insane.
And it's not a job you'd ask Hanson or Penhall to do.
-Wrong.
I would if it called for it.
-This just doesn't seem like good police work
to me, Captain.
It feels like some sort of-- some sort of cheap shortcut.
I'm just screwing around with someone's emotions here.
It's-- it's kind of scary, dangerous, to me emotionally.
-Look, Jude.
You don't do anything if it doesn't make you happy.
There's only one of you.
There's lots of them out there.
It's gotta be your call.
Whatever you want to do.
If you want to shut this thing down,
whatever, I'll back you on it.
--[exhales] I guess I just needed to hear that.
Administrative narcotics is working on putting pressure
on Charles now from a number of sites.
Going to try and take his major customers away from him.
They're going to pose as marijuana dealers.
-How are you going to do that?
-Um, I'd rather you found out about this naturally.
-Tony's probably right, Judy.
-So what happened with the load last night.
-I'd rather you found out about this naturally.
-Well, as long as I'm just being natural
and/or stupid, what else can I do for you?
-Sooner or later, he's going to do something stupid.
I want you there when it happens.
-You're right, I'm sorry.
-Look, Judy, you need anything, you pick up the phone.
-I guess it's just that I think he thinks he's-- I don't know
what he thinks.
Hey.
-Hey there yourself.
-Boy, it sure is pretty out there.
-I was thinking, uh, you maybe want to go someplace?
Like an inn up the coast for the weekend?
-I always figured how beautiful the ocean is.
Never really stopped to look at it.
-Business is changing.
It's not as fun as it used to be.
Sometimes I think about getting out.
I mean, no one wants to be a drug dealer all their life.
-You just got a phone call.
-Yeah?
Important enough to come up here phone call?
-Yeah.
Last night, they had to scuttle the ship.
Coast Guard came out of nowhere.
They had to blow out the bottom and sink it.
Total loss.
Cargo and ship.
-Sank it on purpose.
Bob's always got, like, three plans.
-Yeah, well, that's a good thing,
because nobody else seems to be paying
any attention around here.
-What's the problem?
No one drowned.
Bail them out.
They're downloading the freighter
and bringing part of that in tonight, anyhow, right?
There's no problem.
-The problem?
We haven't lost a ship in a year and a half!
There was nothing on the radio.
Now something got sloppy.
-Or maybe they got lucky.
It's going to happen against us sometime.
Write it off.
It's an operating loss.
[door slams]
BO: Why do you guys want to do this so bad?
-Like, uh, are you guys saving up for something?
-Striped towels.
-We're going to invest.
-Yeah, in what?
-Because we've been saving up, and we're
trying to figure it out too.
-Uh, franchises!
We're to invest in--
-A franchise situation.
You know, uh, uh, you put some money down.
Get involved with an ongoing business.
Now that's the way of the future.
-You get triple your money in six months.
[MOCK PROFESSORIAL TONES] If you had invested
$500 in McDonald's, what would you now have?
-$1,500.
-We got a lot of money saved.
I mean, no one wants to be a criminal all their lives.
We could be good at anything.
We just don't know what yet.
But this is good.
We could own our own business.
-Franchises are part of the American dream.
-Which reminds me, we still want to work in offload.
-I don't know, guys.
It's a pretty big step.
-So is planning for your financial security.
-You guys never stop surprising me.
-We'll never stop surprising ourselves.
-Get it all.
-Yeah.
I got the plates on the truck, tons of photos,
and money changing hands on videotape.
-Free trade in action.
We undercut Charles Greening by 30%,
we get to meet all the local wholesalers.
-Oh yeah?
-Nice bunch of guys.
-No doubt.
How much longer?
-Till Charles does something stupid.
[sirens]
TONY: Who the hell is that?
BLOND OFFICER: It's the cops.
-Great.
We set up an undercover sting and nobody notified the locals.
-Guess not.
-Let's make this as easy for them as we can.
Everybody.
Hands on heads.
[guns cocked]
-Anybody inside?
-I think there's been kind of a mistake here.
-[ANGRILY] I said is there anybody inside.
-No.
[helicopter whirring overhead]
[gunshots]
[fire crackling]
CHARLES: It's funny the way things go in cycles.
I meet you.
I feel great.
And the business gets funny.
The business was going great for a while there.
And there wasn't much point to it.
I really like you, Jude.
-I know.
-You want to go up to the house?
-Sorry, kids.
[drops bag] Got to steal your fire.
-Eh, it's OK.
We're going up, anyhow.
-I got one more load.
-Um, I-- I'd like to stay down here
by myself for a few minutes.
I'll be right up.
-Sure.
[sighs]
[ominous music]
-You didn't have to do that.
I really care about Charles-- a lot.
If this is going to end up hurting him, do me a favor,
get it over with now.
Just walk out of here.
I think I need to keep him from getting hurt.
CAPTAIN FULLER: Yeah, well, the moment you locate her,
you have her report to m-- never mind.
Where were you?
I've been trying to get ahold of you for hours.
-Is Brandt here?
I think I found something.
-Where did you get this?
-Captain Bob, Charles's sidekick,
was burning a bunch of them last night.
-Lieutenant Brandt was shot and killed last night
along with four other police officers, while
on an undercover.
They were running a wholesale marijuana sting.
And they We shot by a number of men wearing police uniforms,
according to the sole survivor.
-Oh my god.
-I guess Tony finally got Charles to do something stupid.
-It wasn't Charles.
Oh god, I guess it was.
[school bell]
TOGETHER: Hi!
BO: Hey, you guys, do you know any
of these little towns up the coast?
-No.
-Why?
-Uh, we were just thinking.
-Of moving.
Sorry.
-Mr. McSteamer?
International Doughnut Boutique.
Land o' Burgers.
Uncle Fudge.
We've been checking this franchise idea out on our own.
-Yeah, we found some good ones!
-Like International Doughnut Boutique?
-Right.
-Well, see the thing is even at $1,000 an offload,
we'll never make it because, they all
got something called prior brand identification.
Cheapest one, they want $125,000 just to stark.
-So tonight, we're just going to take the truck and go.
If this was supposed to be some kind of secret,
then why didn't you just tell me?
I mean, you were the one that had the map out.
-So there's an offload tonight.
-And you're not going to do your run.
You're going to steal your truck full of dope.
-Down payment, bro.
-Bad plan.
-You'll die.
-Nah.
-These guys are like Mr. Nonviolence.
I mean, a truck full of dope?
Got to be worth $100 grand, maybe more.
-More.
-You'll die.
So, uh, what time are we meeting you?
-For what?
-The offload.
-You guys are working too?
-We are now.
-Yeah, they are now.
[truck approaching]
-Now, let's not screw up.
Last time, somebody got busted for speeding.
Now, watch it.
-Let's not screw up.
Now let's move it!
[police sirens]
[guns cocked]
-Right there, fellows.
They're getting away!
-And they're n twins!
-Yeah.
They raided the offload.
Everybody but Bob.
You don't have to come, Judy.
I mean, no one knows who you are.
Maybe you can visit me some place or something.
-But where's Bob?
-Let's go.
-All right, search the house.
[guns cocked]
-Where are we going?
-12 miles out, there's a freighter.
It's in international waters.
It's ours.
Once we're on it, nobody can touch us.
I've been thinking about Rio for awhile.
It's a nice town.
You ever been there?
-No.
We're not going there, Bob.
Turn around.
You're under arrest.
There are people coming.
-What the hell are you doing?
-She's a cop, Charles.
[cries out]
-What are you doing?
-Shut up!
I'm trying to save your life.
Sorry.
You seem like a nice girl.
[two gunshots]
[splash]
-What are you doing here?
-I don't know.
-Isn't your job done?
I mean, you brought the big, bad criminal to justice?
Maybe we can do it right here in the police station.
[sighs] I'm sorry.
Wha--?
Why should I be sorry?
I'm the one going to jail.
Judy, was is it all a scam?
-[QUIETLY] Yes.
I'm a cop, Charles.
I was just doing my job.
-[sighs]
BO: [whooping] We did it, man!
We are golden.
We got a truck full of dope.
A tank full of gas.
Awesome tunes.
-It's the American Dream!
We're going to own our own franchise!
[car slows down]
KENTON: What's happening?
BO: Uh, probably an accident or something.
[laughs nervously] Oh, Kenton, dude,
I think we've got a problem.
