[buzzing]
Yo, Fitz.
[SHOUTING] Yo, Fitz, you there?
Answer me.
You gonna die.
This is a machine talking.
Payback, payback.
Spooks won't help you, man.
The man won't help you.
[inaudible], man.
Make the fish live with what we do to him.
Payback, payback.
We know who you are.
We know what you are.
[SHOUTING] Sooey, sooey.
[laughter]
Come on, boy.
I'm gonna wait for you.
I'm gonna wait on you, boy.
[LAUGHING] Payback.
[SHOUTING] Shut up.
Shut your asses up.
CROWD: [CHANTING] Skin the pig.
Skin the pig.
You know, man, when they finally do come for you,
I gotta turn my back.
And you're on your own.
CROWD: [CHANTING] Skin the pig.
Skin the pig.
[THEME - HOLLY ROBINSON, "21 JUMP STREET THEME"]
THEME SONG: We never thought we'd
find a place where we belong.
Don't have to stand alone.
Never let you fall.
Don't need permission to decide what you believe.
Woo.
I said jump down on Jump Street.
Said jump down on Jump Street.
Your friends will be there when your back is to the wall.
You'll find you need us because there's no one 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.
That's the phone jack, Sherlock.
Do you think the VCR'll take messages?
[SIGHING] Hey, Doug, visiting hours are only until 8:30.
Well, it's just that my building just installed cable.
And I wanna tape the Outlaws Vikings game.
Yeah. The Vikes are hot.
Did you see the way they blew out the Saints?
Don't tell me.
I haven't watched the game yet.
- That game was on last week. - I know.
I know.
I just-- um, I'm a little behind in my home viewing.
And thanks to you, I won't be watching this.
Sorry.
Can we go?
Just a second.
Doug.
I promised somebody that I would bring
this picture to, uh, Harry.
Here. I'm on the ball.
Watch me.
Look.
I think we'd better be going.
You think, uh, we ought to call Booker,
see if he wants to go?
[sighing]
Well, I think maybe Booker should stay clear of us.
I mean, he's still partnered with Farrell.
I want to ease him out of metro before I bring him back
to the chapel in a day or so.
Yeah.
Well, I'd be surprised if he even wanted to come back.
Hey. I'll talk to him.
Don't bother.
ANNOUNCER [ON TV]: As long as the teams come out
on the field for the second half,
we thought it would be an opportune moment
to have a few words with the controversial owner
of the Outlaws, Raymond Crane.
Mr. Crane, thank you so much for joining us.
You've been called [inaudible]
[SINGING] I don't know.
ANNOUNCER [ON TV]: Football team's
32 consecutive games sold out.
[SINGING] Ready to go. [humming]
ANNOUNCER [ON TV]: [inaudible] rumors that
you might be thinking of moving the franchise to another city--
maybe Baltimore, maybe Oakland.
RAYMOND CRANE [ON TV]: We don't wanna move.
But the people of this town deserve
a better sports complex.
And of course the mayor is the last to realize it.
Come on.
Get on with the game.
[chatter]
Man, you going after that six ball?
Dude, you don't know your geography.
Geometry.
[clanking]
No, man-- geography.
Geography's all about being here and there, right?
So what you doing here?
[clanking]
See?
You don't even know.
You got to ask yourself that question, Hanson.
And you gotta know the answer.
Can you answer that question?
Hell, yes.
Don't tell me.
You shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.
Look.
You gotta deal with it.
You killed a cop.
No, I didn't.
Well, then, who did?
Some other guy.
That's the same guy that did my crime--
and White's and Johnson's.
You know, we gotta catch ourselves this some other guy.
He is some bad dude.
[grunting]
[shouting]
[grunting]
[shouting]
Take him out.
Take him out, man.
[shouting]
At least you kept your word.
It ain't over, pig.
[beeping]
Doctor says it helps to talk to him.
It stimulates brain activity.
Hey, Harry.
It's Judy.
This is Fuller, Harry.
Missed you at the Outlaws opening game.
Had the same seats we had last year, remember?
About that VCR you told me to--
I got a good deal, too.
I sure do miss you, Harry.
And Hanson, it's like he's--
I almost said like he's dead, too.
[chatter]
Yo, what's up, homie?
[inaudible]
Where you been, man?
[inaudible]
[honking]
Hey.
Damn it, Frank.
You scared the hell out of me.
How many times I gotta tell you?
First rule, sitting alone in the car is like painting
a bull's-eye on your head.
Come on.
Out of the car.
Thanks.
A cop I know went down in this area, a drive-by.
This place, man, it's a nightmare--
and then some.
That's why I'm getting out.
I'm quitting, Dennis.
Just like that?
No.
Not just like that.
Even before Hanson killed my partner, I was looking around.
I talked to the Crane organization.
I must've aced the interview because they
want me to be head of security.
Crane?
The guy that owns the Outlaws?
You gotta wear a tie?
Every day.
Office?
Crane Tower, 12th floor.
My sympathies, Frank.
Look.
Do you think wearing a leather jacket bucks the system?
Crane wearing a suit and tie runs
circles around it every day.
You ever listen to him? - Yeah.
I've seen him on TV.
Yeah, you can learn a lot.
Crane told me something himself.
Always listen to your gut, no matter what your mind says.
Your gut tells you police work is all BS.
I know it.
So what are you gonna do?
Leave me alone in this jungle?
Something tells me this place won't be a jungle for long.
Your gut?
Executive privilege.
Judy.
You reporting back?
I don't know.
I've been dodging Fuller's calls.
Let me give you his message.
Get the hell out.
Doug.
Penhall, I need to talk.
I'm not listening to you.
I ain't talking to you-- - No, listen--
- --until Hanson gets out. - I got a--
- That could be 10 to 15 years. - Will you listen to me?
Stop it. Stop it, you two.
I got a gut feeling on Hanson's case.
So do I. And what you did makes me sick.
What I did was right.
And I didn't lie on the witness stand.
You son of a bitch.
[SHOUTING] Come on. Come on.
Hey.
Stop it.
Booker, I think you better leave.
What's the deal here, huh?
I went on this case to protect Hanson from Farrell.
You guys are acting like I killed him.
No.
Hanson and Ioki ain't dead.
But as far as I'm concerned, you are.
You see this gun?
That night at Buddy's, if I'd gotten out of that car five
minutes earlier, this would have been
the gun that killed Hanson instead
of Buddy getting killed.
[beeping]
I was sitting in the car waiting for Buddy.
Sitting alone in the car is like painting
a bull's-eye on your head.
[dramatic music playing]
Old habit, never wait alone in a parked car at night.
You're a sitting duck.
I was sitting in the car waiting for Buddy.
What about the bullets that killed Buddy?
[gunshots]
It was Farrell's gun.
Hanson.
Someone's here for you.
[thudding]
Prisoner Hanson, the state has granted wardens
the authority to furlough prisoners
in special circumstances.
I am releasing you to the custody of Officer
Booker for a period of 24 hours so
that you may attend a funeral.
Harry?
Yeah, he, uh--
he listed you as next of kin.
[sighing]
ANNOUNCER [ON TV]: And while the officials confer,
let's catch up on some late baseball scores.
Oh, no, you're not.
[fast forwarding]
ANNOUNCER [ON TV]: This just in.
The San Francisco Giants topped the Dodgers by a score
of five to four in 10 innings.
Dodgers trying to turn things around, or anyway
get ready for next season.
Dork.
[knocking]
Who is it?
It's Booker.
I'm watching the game.
BOOKER: Penhall.
I'm not home.
Oh, what a catch.
HANSON: Doug, let us in.
Who's that with you?
BOOKER: Three guesses.
Maybe you'll talk to me now.
[sighing]
Doug, I'm sorry about Harry.
It's OK.
He'll snap out of it.
He doesn't know?
- I meant to tell you. - Tell me what?
Not you.
Doug, Harry's dead.
No.
What do you mean no?
He's still in the hospital.
Ah, you scared the hell out of me, man.
[inaudible] Then what am I doing here?
I needed to talk to Penhall.
So you told him Ioki was dead?
What am I-- his interpreter?
Better than that, I proved it to the warden.
Well, what for? What for?
What would you wanna do a crazy thing like that for?
- To get him out of jail. - What for?
What for?
So he'd listen to me.
[sighing]
Listen to him.
I'm gonna get a beer.
I do not believe that you let him think that Ioki was dead--
Listen, listen.
--the whole car ride over here.
You have no regard for anybody but yourself.
Yeah, I do. I did what I had to do.
You're just sitting on your ass all day long--
[inaudible] two years to his sentence.
--sorry for everybody and not doing anything about it.
Is this a twist-off, or do I need an opener?
If he has to do one extra minute of time--
I made the move to get him out [inaudible]
--because of this stupid stunt.
- --so we can together. - [inaudible]
He deserves a chance to clear his own name.
Hanson didn't shoot Buddy.
It was Frank Farrell.
The way Hanson was running, he couldn't
have seen Farrell in the woods.
Well, the choreography fits, if Farrell got out of the car.
He did.
That's not what he said on the witness stand.
Farrell never waited alone in a parked car.
It was more than an old habit.
It was something basic to his nature.
So you got this gut feeling because he
slipped up while testifying?
It wasn't a slip-up.
Farrell told a conscious lie at Hanson's trial.
Hey.
I didn't mean anything by that, all right?
OK, OK.
So let's say Booker's right.
Why would he kill his partner?
Bud Tower's running guns to gangs, you found that out.
Farrell must have been in on it.
So he kills Buddy to get him out of the way.
Yeah, or shut him up.
Farrell's going to work for Crane.
Maybe he wanted a clean break, clean past.
So he makes him a silent partner.
Wait, wait, wait.
Farrell's working for Crane?
Head of security.
He's selling guns with Buddy.
He kills his partner.
Quits his job, goes to work for Crane.
Anything there?
70 grand a year.
Plus, he gets out of a war zone.
Yeah.
But he wanted that war.
He fueled both sides.
Why's he so eager to get out now?
Farrell said something like, it wouldn't
be a jungle there for long.
Crane.
I saw him on TV.
What the hell was it?
It was the Outlaw Viking game.
[rumbling]
Bigfoot.
No, man.
That's Stumper.
Try this one.
[music playing]
It's sort of a thing [inaudible]
Save that.
Yep.
Hey, Rocky.
Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat.
Again?
Nothing up my sleeve.
Presto.
[growling]
Oh, don't know my own strength.
[clearing throat]
This is it.
ANNOUNCER [ON TV]: [inaudible] your negotiating tactics.
RAYMOND CRANE [ON TV]: Well, we have been very
straightforward with the city.
But the Outlaws have very high standards.
And so we're gonna push, and we're gonna push,
and we're gonna push again until the fans get what they deserve.
ANNOUNCER [ON TV]: And what specifically
is it that they deserve?
RAYMOND CRANE [ON TV]: Well, you know,
we certainly haven't pinpointed an area yet.
But the Crane organization would like to create a 70,000-seat
facility that could, you know, also
double as a downtown convention center
for the business district.
You got that list?
The one I took from Bud Tower's house?
Yeah.
It's in that, uh, desk thing.
It's in the bottom, on the left.
ANNOUNCER [ON TV]: Mr. Crane, what exactly is
your problem with Mayor Davis?
RAYMOND CRANE [ON TV]: The mayor has no guts.
And, uh, I don't care if it's my quarterback,
or it's a VP or a secretary, I like someone who functions
from here, not just from here.
ANNOUNCER [ON TV]: Well, Mr. Crane, you certainly call them
the way you see them.
Thank you very much, Mr. Raymond Crane,
for sharing some time with us.
These are addresses in the area
where Farrell and his partner were selling guns.
You could put a stadium here that would
hold about 70,000 people.
[dramatic music playing]
You sure about this now?
I was standing next to him when he turned in his gun.
You know, it makes sense for Farrell.
You in jail, no one would ever suspect his gun
to be the murder weapon.
He turns it in.
It gets reissued to some rookie.
It just gets lost in the system.
About time we beat the system.
Cage opens in 10 more minutes.
We have to have him back by 5:00.
That gives us eight hours.
Man, I want nothing more than for you
to be right about this thing.
But I just cannot believe that any human being,
whether they had all the money in the world or not one thin
dime, could perpetuate a gang war,
let kids die, just so that their organization
could put up a building.
I don't know, man.
I see life like a street.
You're walking down it.
And up ahead of you is a store where
you're gonna buy something.
But between you and that purchase
are all the rules coming up to you like some beggar,
you know, hitting you up for all your money.
You feel bad for dodging them.
But he stands between you and what you want.
So you look away when he passes, or you cross the street.
Wow.
Well, Socrates can rest easy.
What did the beggar represent again?
- Help you? - Uh, yeah.
Uh, my partner-- well, actually, my ex-partner--
retired and turned his gun in a couple days ago.
I remember, yeah.
All right.
Well, the funny thing is it was my gun,
you know, kind of like a joke, figuring I wouldn't notice.
What I'm saying here is if I don't get my gun back,
my ass, man, is grass.
Better take out your lawnmower, pal.
Because I'm pretty sure it's been reissued.
Can you look it up?
Computer's down while we upgrade the system.
Meaning?
Meaning I can give you this year's weapons
transactions on hard copy.
Let's do it.
Great.
[music playing]
Got it.
Frank Farrell.
Doesn't say where the gun went, though.
Great.
Now I got the serial number.
All I have to do is match it up with one
of these numbers from the other sheets and find out who has it.
Here-- one for you, one for you.
Oh, great.
Even the police force is so buried in bureaucratic BS,
I can't even cross-reference the information on these sheets.
Doug.
There's no-- what?
I'm on a bit of a schedule.
What's the, uh, serial number?
It's 9923532.
How am I supposed to remember that?
9923532.
992-- uh, 99, 99, Wayne Gretzky, 23, Michael Jordan,
Gretzky, Jordan.
What-- who's a famous 5?
Johnny Bench.
Bench, 32.
Well, there's a lot of famous 32s.
Why don't you just write it down?
No, I got it--
Magic Johnson.
So Gretzky, Jordan, Bench, Johnson.
Gretzky, Jordan, Bench, Johnson.
Here it is.
It was reissued to a Cadet Mortelarro at the Academy.
The fastest way up there's up the 91.
MAN [ON RADIO]: Baker 57, come in.
FULLER [ON RADIO]: Can't dodge this call, Booker.
This is Baker 57.
Hey, captain.
FULLER [ON RADIO]: Report to Jump Street immediately.
Uh, I can be there around 6:00.
FULLER [ON RADIO]: I'm sure you can be there in 10 minutes.
And that's an order, officer.
Look, we'll cruise the chapel, deal with Fuller,
and be out in five minutes.
[tapping]
You're supposed to report back at Jump Street.
The next thing I hear, you're downtown checking on guns.
You want to tell me what that was all about?
No secrets, Booker.
You don't work alone in this police force.
I'd like to.
Then what are you doing here?
Look, Dennis, you work with young people.
So I don't suppose you consider yourself young.
I can see that.
Because you've stopped asking yourself
the one question that young people want answered.
What's gonna happen to me?
Just because they're young doesn't
mean it's a foolish question.
I like not knowing.
Well, your partners don't.
We work for each other.
You should try it sometime.
Are you gonna tell me what's going on?
I better just work it out.
[music playing]
Penhall, Fuller and I are gonna
go over to see Harry later.
You wanna come?
Sure.
You OK?
Yeah.
You seem a little short.
Nope.
Hey, guys.
Damn, it's Weingate.
He'll remember us.
I'll wait here.
Good idea.
Yeah.
Come on.
Don't rabbit on me, boy.
You'll spend the night in a box.
Come on.
Hey, Weingate.
It's been a long time.
How you doing?
Who the hell are you?
I have told you Cadet Mortelarro and all the others in his class
have been dismissed for the day.
How about his home address?
I have told you it is against department policy
to release cadets' personal information.
This pertains to a homicide investigation.
Then you will have to fill out a department
form 7-12A and have it signed by your superior officer.
[SIGHING] You'd think there'd be one
Mortelarro in the whole book.
Never mind.
I'm sure we can weasel an address out of this place.
Well, this office closes in about an hour.
Just jimmy a couple locks.
[SIGHING] Take me back.
It'd just be a couple hours over the deadline.
I can BS a warden, no problem.
No.
It stops right here right now.
What?
This, man.
Look at us.
I feel so sorry for that stupid kid up there.
He had no idea.
Doug, what happened to us?
I ran.
You lied.
I'm here considering going over the wall.
Things happened.
We reacted.
It was how we reacted.
We were fighting.
We were trying to survive.
Well, what good is survival if you
don't like what you've become?
OK.
What went wrong?
I don't know.
I can't answer that now.
Well, how's going back gonna help you find the answer?
I can't even begin to start looking until I draw the line--
right here, right now.
[sighing]
[music playing]
We missed you last night.
Weird.
It's so quiet.
Why don't they just come and do it?
Anticipation is half the fun.
Kills the time.
PRISONER: Hanson.
Yo, Fitz.
Step up to your door, man.
I got something for you, a welcome back present.
[laughter]
I hear you two quimbys are asking about me.
You're Cadet Mortelarro?
Who wants to know?
Officer Penhall, Officer Booker.
We need to take your service revolver.
Sure.
When you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.
We need to check the serial number of your gun
because it's a possible murder weapon.
Imagine how it'll look.
Cadet Mortelarro finds a murder weapon before he's
even out of the Academy.
Call it.
Gretzky, Jordan, Bench, Johnson.
9923532.
Let's get the collar.
Your landlord sold this house.
You either vacate the premises, or we will remove you.
Do you understand?
[shattering]
Gosh, I'm sorry.
Doing a little security work, Frank?
Dennis.
I didn't know you'd have company.
She was just about to leave.
So what's up?
Well, after our talk, I got this gut feeling.
Yeah?
Good for you.
Well, this gut feeling, um, led me into a sticky situation.
You need my help?
Yeah.
Well, I'm glad you took Mr. Crane's advice, Booker.
So what can I do?
Don't give me a hassle.
What?
You're under arrest, Frank, for the murder of Bud Tower.
Hanson killed Tower.
Don't start, Frank.
We have the gun.
Ballistics matches.
You're busted.
[sighing] - Look, Dennis.
I'm sure we can work out a deal or something here.
Oh, man.
Do yourself a favor.
Stop right here and right now.
[grunting]
[yelling]
[grunting]
[music playing]
[gunshot]
Why'd you kill him, Frank?
Was Tower gonna be your partner at Crane?
Or did he even know about the deal?
[sighing]
You orchestrated the whole Hanson framing.
You're the one who put him away.
All right, gentlemen.
Let's cut to the quick.
I'm advising Mr. Farrell that it is in his best interest
to exercise his right under the Fifth Amendment.
His best interests or Crane's?
We're finished answering your questions.
Raymond Crane.
Sir?
Top banana, the Grand Poobah, I want to see him right now.
He's got some very serious questions to answer.
I don't care if his name is on the side of a building.
Officer Penhall?
How'd you know my name?
May I help you?
I want to talk to Crane about an employee
of his, Frank Farrell.
We've never had an employee by that name.
How can you be so sure?
You must have-- I don't know-- what?
6,000 people working for him?
Our vice president of personnel
will be glad to show you the records.
Do these records show how many guns you've sold?
Or are you gonna say that Tower and Farrell acted alone?
We're not familiar with their alleged crimes.
How can you lie like that?
However, it is our policy to believe men are
innocent until proven guilty.
Isn't it yours?
Yeah.
Well, I've heard about your policies.
Oh, gosh, I'm sorry.
After careful study of the facts of the case
and the compelling evidence presented
against former detective Farrell,
I hereby grant petition to release Thomas
Hanson from state prison.
[gavel banging]
[SHOUTING] Yes.
Falsifying documents, obtaining the release
of a prisoner under false pretenses,
unauthorized access to police records,
and procurement of an officer's weapon
without requisite form 7-12A.
Though this police force acknowledges the initiative
of Officer Booker, his disregard for set
procedure and department rules must be reprimanded.
I guess that means a little more
than a slap on the wrist, huh?
It is the decision of this board
to reassign Officer Booker from Jump Street
to the police research library, where he will report in uniform
to Sergeant Langley, basement level, county courthouse, 7:00
AM Monday.
What does that mean?
It means you're the microfilm clerk in the basement
of headquarters.
You should be careful what you wish for, Dennis.
Looks like you will be working alone.
I love this place, you know.
But the library, that ain't being a cop.
I won't do it.
I don't blame you.
Adam, uh, you must have seen a mountain
of this stuff in your career.
A mountain range.
How do you go on?
I'm not like you, Dennis.
Basically, I believe in rules.
I need a little structure.
You, on the other hand, think that rules is a dirty word.
It's not the rules that are dirty.
It's people who abuse them for their own need.
[SIGHING] So you asked me how I can go on.
Well, for every Farrell and Crane, there's a Booker.
And there's a Hanson.
There's a Penhall, too.
Uh, you know this whole mess was my doing.
I worked totally alone.
[sighing]
What is gonna happen to you, Dennis?
About time I started asking myself that question.
[music playing]
[sighing]
[chatter]
They never got me.
Yeah.
Remember that after your first nightmare.
Fish going back to the lake.
Where you going, man?
Don't you like us?
Sooey. [SNORTING] Sooey.
I'm out in three months, man.
I'm gonna look you up.
Y'all come back now, you hear?
Can I drive?
It's your car.
I just had it washed.
You owe me 5 bucks.
I'm a little short on cash.
You can owe me.
[music playing]
[engine revving]
[tires skidding]
You sure this is what you want?
Oh, Penhall, have you got that Yankees Orioles game on tape?
Yankees, Orioles, Jets, Bills, preseason Canucks, whatever.
All right.
I'll be over.
Hey.
Isn't that that one when the Yankees won in a squeeze play?
We're gonna watch it anyway.
Hanson, you gonna get in on this?
[music playing]
ANNOUNCER [ON TV]: And today, plans
were finalized between the city and the Crane organization
to build a major sports complex to house the Outlaws.
The 70,000-seat multipurpose stadium will come complete
with luxury boxes and will be located
in an area south of downtown.
The $100 million complex will not
cost the taxpayers a single dime, according
to developer Raymond Crane.
Now turning to golf [inaudible]
[beeping]
[music playing]
