[music playing]
[groaning]
[music playing]
I knew you'd be here.
I'm always with you.
[clanging]
Hey, dream girl, you've got a visitor.
[theme music]
THEME SONG: [SINGING] 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.
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 because there's no one else to call.
When it was hopeless, a decision is what you need.
You better be ready to, be ready to jump, 21 Jump Street.
Why?
Why do you want it to be me, man?
There's plenty of other nasty criminals
around here to make fools out theyself.
What do you want me to say?
Do you want me to say that the department needs
you because you're a hero?
OK, well, every kid down in the Piedmont
wants to be just like you.
Half of them are going to OD by the time they're 25.
The other half is going to end up here.
Maybe you can save a few by making a videotape.
And how am I supposed to explain this, uh, turnaround--
say I just found Jesus?
You can say whatever you want.
Nah, they'll think I cheesed up.
It might make all this mean something.
Yeah.
Then why don't you just say what this is?
Hm, it probably just warms your heart, the thought of them
pumping me full of poison.
[music playing]
Nice to meet you.
Now, what was that stuff you was mumbling about before?
The deal is he wants a slice of the Piedmont.
Says there's plenty enough for two.
RONNIE SEEBOK: Well, that's a pretty stupid man's opinion,
don't you think?
There he is.
This dude?
You Ronnie Seebok?
Huh, yep.
You and your dogs are trying to shut down my business.
Let me ask you something.
You come in my room.
You amble your little self over to my counter.
You finger my Crown Collection Rolex,
and then you just tip out the door.
Now, what I'm going to do?
You get off my ass before I gotta shove you off.
Or maybe we should just chill and deal with business
during business hours.
You know what I'm saying?
Let me hip you to something, freak.
You don't get with the program around here, you're gone.
[WHISPERING] Bing, bang, boom.
You understand that?
ROSIE MARTINEZ: You know what I think?
If you don't keep your paws off of me,
I'm going to kick you right in your pole.
And your car's a piece of junk too, you slime.
Him, he's a freaking animal.
What are you looking at?
Stars.
That's smog.
You couldn't see a street light through that garbage.
So, uh, you had a bad date.
That wasn't a date.
That was being mauled by some slime named Vick.
Vick Molina's an animal, honey.
Oh, really?
Where were you an hour ago?
Were you really looking at the stars?
Yeah, I do that.
Me too.
But don't tell nobody, you know?
It sounds weird.
I'm Ronnie Seebok.
Rosie Martinez.
Oh, god, just what I need, a Romeo.
Forget procedure, Dary.
I just want to know what the hell you were doing in there.
Playing shy with a guy like that just doesn't cut it.
Yeah, well, getting your head blown off
doesn't cut it either.
I got in, didn't I?
Yeah, well, just don't do it again.
You practically gave me a heart attack.
Promise.
Hey, Dary, how close are you on the Seebok thing?
I'm more than close.
He's my supplier now.
The man's days are numbered, Tom.
That's good.
Listen, you know, um, being two months out of the academy,
I just want you to know that if you're scared, it's OK.
It's normal.
But you've got to be careful with a guy like this.
Yeah, the man's a player.
And he's got a lot at stake down there, you know?
Not for long.
Just don't push it.
Hey, I said an inch.
What do you call that?
That look like an inch and a half to me.
[scoffs] Oh, yeah?
Well, what are you, a mathematician all of a sudden?
No, but I'm kind of picky about my hair.
That's cause it's nice.
You're nice.
Hey, what's up, homies?
Damn, anybody ever teach you peasants how to knock?
We got to talk, Ron Man.
I'm busy, little fella.
I need a couple ounces-- and more if you got it.
Shop is definitely closed.
I need some stuff tonight.
And I'm parking it right here until you deliver.
I always just gotta take it from the top with you, huh?
Always.
Now this is my house, and you deal with me on my time--
not before, and not after.
[music playing]
We're going to sweep the Piedmont, double shifts,
inch by inch.
We'll find him.
Then what?
What we really need is to take that piece of scum out.
Ugh, y'all get me a decent TV this time?
Can't guarantee color.
Yeah, well, MTV sucks in black and white.
And I already told you that.
They're working on it.
Yeah, it's stupid.
It's like watching the Rose Parade in black and white.
It just don't make no sense.
Y'all, uh, moved the bed, huh?
There was a leak.
[inaudible] got moldy.
So how much time do I got anyway?
Um, 18 hours, more or less.
Well, I would love more.
But didn't nobody ask me.
Hm.
Boy, ra, da, na, na, womp, womp.
Boy, da, ra, na, womp, womp--
still plenty of time.
[laughs]
[SINGING] [inaudible]
Just a few questions, Ronnie.
Would you like a spiritual advisor?
Do you mean--
you mean like a psychic?
A priest or a minister.
[scoffs] No, I ain't no hypocrite.
You sure?
It would make you feel better.
Nah.
Where's my TV though?
It's coming.
You got a meal tonight.
Anything special?
I don't-- don't--
I mean, uh, fried chicken, maybe mashed potatoes.
I don't know.
Could I have a beer this time?
Sure, you're over age now.
All right then.
Don't matter.
Ronnie, since your mother's passed away,
you'll have to decide on the arrangements.
Oh, well, I mean, well, I would like,
if they made a movie, I would like Sean Penn to play me,
because I think he's pretty fly.
No, uh, burial arrangements.
How do you want to be disposed of?
What it matter, man?
I mean, how am I going to know if you don't do what I say?
We'll do it.
You just make it look like I'm asleep.
Where would you like to be buried?
Well, ain't nobody going to look for us here.
Homeless think it's bad luck to lay low in a cemetery.
Then what are we doing here?
It ain't bad luck.
You know, if that guy just listened and chilled,
no one would have got hurt.
He was tripping, probably frying hard on something.
I mean, first, dude gets all up in my face,
and then he pulls a gun.
I mean, what was I supposed to do?
Come on.
Sit down.
Ronnie, check out that rock.
It's half empty like they didn't have nothing else to say on it.
That's for two people.
What, like she ain't dead yet?
They probably got it while he was still alive so they could
be together forever, I guess.
Really?
Damn.
That's being down with someone serious.
Yeah, very serious.
That's beautiful, man, you know?
They made a plan, and they stuck to it.
Yeah, unless she change her mind before she's dead.
Ronnie, I ain't staying here no more.
I gotta get out of here.
What you want to do?
You want to go back?
Homies are looking for us on the street.
Yeah, but I heard about you, Ronnie.
You know, you live large.
You can afford to get me out of this rain.
I know a place, but I just didn't want you to think--
Don't act like you don't do it all the time with other girls.
Maybe you're different.
Get me out of this rain.
There's always trouble in the Piedmont, you know?
If it ain't somebody getting killed,
it's some stupid bitch getting pregnant by somebody else's
husband.
Yeah, well, I hate to break it to you, sweetie, but, ah,
it's like that everywhere.
Yes, sir.
I guess it just gives people something to talk about.
What do you think they're saying about us?
It depends who's talking.
Hm.
Ha.
So when do you want to go back?
Uh, a couple days, got to wait for Derek's posse to chill.
I can't stay awake no more.
That's all right.
Just go to sleep.
I'll watch you.
Yeah, right.
As soon as my eyes are closed, you're going to be fast asleep.
No.
I can go for days sometimes without sleep.
I got this trick to it.
I just tap my thumb to a sound in my head,
and it always works.
It's kind of weird.
Go ahead.
Go to sleep.
OK.
Hey.
Hm?
Is it really like that everywhere?
I mean, like somebody is always in trouble?
There's no place you can go?
Yeah.
ACTOR [ON TV]: I didn't come here to do that.
Hey.
ROSIE MARTINEZ: You got the donuts?
Yeah, yeah.
Check that out.
Ooh, my god.
RONNIE SEEBOK: That's our guy Dary, right?
Wow, what's it say?
Read it.
I can't read it.
Well, neither can I.
But I can read that.
That's my name right there.
ROSIE MARTINEZ: The guy was a cop.
Now this is hype.
Now we can go back.
We was hiding from Dary's set.
Dary's a cop.
He don't have a set.
It ain't enough hiding from the cops in the Piedmont.
We do that every day.
Ronnie, let's not go back.
Darling, I got to tell you.
All my money is tied up in deals in the Piedmont.
We can get money.
Oh, yeah?
Uh, I could be the head chef at Burger Village.
And maybe if I put a good word in, you could make the fries.
Ronnie, we can get money.
I see that look in your eyes, girl.
What we're trying to do here is stay away from trouble.
[scoffs] It's not like we're going to hurt anybody.
Don't play me like that.
Look, Ronnie, you and I are just alike.
We are two of a kind.
And I know that you were thinking
just like I was, only I ain't afraid to say it or do it.
You would really want all of that with me?
Yeah.
And you're saying we just, uh, we just do one thing
and then never go back?
Yeah.
Here, here.
Now, you flash it when I give you the sign, all right?
I'm the guy, so they'll think I have one too.
All of a sudden, I'm scared.
[sighs] We don't have to do this, you know.
Look, this is going to be easier than anything we've
ever seen in the Piedmont.
[WHISPERING] Hey, what are you doing?
Come on.
[music playing]
RONNIE SEEBOK: Excuse me.
OK, now you don't make this any tougher than it has to be.
Now you just help us out.
You give me what's in that register.
Damn it, punk, move.
I don't believe this.
Ugh.
Wait.
There's a--
Ronnie.
Oh, my god.
[sirens wailing]
Give me that.
[music playing]
Drop the weapon.
OFFICER: 37.
That's a little bigger since last time.
Yeah, well, uh, I'm still a growing boy.
What color do you want your suit to be?
Shark skin, Italian cut.
Blue or brown?
Guh, I wouldn't be caught dead in either one.
I want to write a letter.
I'll write it for you, if you want.
No, I spent two years in this hole learning how to write.
I'll write it myself.
Can't.
No sharp objects allowed in the cell.
How can I do myself in with a pencil?
It's personal.
All right, OK, but, uh, um, don't pay attention.
Dear Rosie--
Can the person getting this read?
[sighs] Someone will read it to her.
Hey, Rosie, what up?
I know you got out a couple months ago.
Don't put the ums in there.
Uh, I know you got out a couple months ago.
And I figure you haven't come by because some suck ass lawyer
is, uh, telling you not to.
That's OK.
I'm waiting for a stay.
It is getting pretty tight this time.
If those dogs do this to me, would you please be there?
Um, please be there if that happens.
Anyway, uh, I miss you.
Stay out of trouble.
Ronnie.
ROSIE MARTINEZ: You want me to roll over on him,
and I ain't going to do it.
Rosie, they're going to go after Ronnie
no matter what you say.
What you've got to decide is if you're going to go with him.
[huffs] Well, I ain't making no deals.
Is going to jail for the rest of your life
going to help Ronnie?
What happened the night Officer Washington was shot?
What about the guy in the convenience store?
Did Ronnie shoot him so there'd be no witnesses?
Or did he get scared?
You're a real bastard, you know that?
We're not leaving here until you tell us.
Huh.
He'd blow you in just to save his own ass.
He ain't talking because he's trying to save my ass.
Save your ass from what?
Did you kill that guy?
Yeah.
Ronnie had me hold the gun, you know, like for insurance.
But we weren't going to use it or nothing.
But the guy in the store, he lowered
his hand underneath the counter like he was going for his gun.
Is that the truth?
It was our only chance, you know, to get out.
We didn't mean to hurt nobody.
I think I can get Ronnie Seebok tried as an adult.
Well, what about the girl?
Same.
But she has no priors.
She was an innocent agent in the case.
Good behavior, two and a half, three max.
She pulled the trigger.
Yeah, but the whole thing was his idea.
Special circumstances felony, that's all we need.
Well, what's going to happen to him?
A needle, I hope.
On the convenience store killing?
It's all we got.
The evidence on Officer Washington's death
was purely circumstantial.
The case would be demolished in court.
Even though we know he killed Dary.
Right.
So by prosecuting him to the fullest on this other case--
Justice is served.
Exactly.
You know, it is possible that Ronnie
shot Dary out of self-defense.
None of this matters anyway.
It's a different case.
And bottom line, Seebok has a court appointed attorney.
The guy couldn't get him off a toilet seat.
We're fine.
Look, we're trying to revenge a shooting that
might have been unintentional.
Ronnie Seebok has a million arrests and no convictions.
We've been trying to nail this guy for years.
We have two dead bodies, one of whom
happens to be a fellow officer.
And we know that Ronnie committed one
if not both of those murders.
Now, I think it's time that justice works for our side.
Determining what is fair and just is never easy.
In this case, the death penalty is not the moral equivalent
of murder but rather the bonding together
of our society in an attempt to discourage actions
like those of Ronald Seebok.
We as a group have spoken so that Ronald Seebok
and others like him have no choice but to listen
and to understand.
[music playing]
I heard you were back, sweet thing.
Welcome home.
Hey, Reg.
Looking fresh, girl.
Come on in.
Nah, that's all right.
I gotta get home.
Hey.
I guess you heard.
There's been a few changes around here since you
and Ronnie got jammed.
What kind of changes?
I look after the business now.
You don't clear it with me, it doesn't happen at the Piedmont.
Cool.
Of course, Ronnie is still king.
Wouldn't want to mess with that.
[sighs] Yeah, well, Ronnie screwed up.
We both did.
You hear he's on the row now?
Yeah, I heard.
They're going to mainline him.
Ronnie doesn't even give a damn.
What is this?
Static.
You wanted color.
I want it a color picture.
[music playing]
HOST [ON TV]: The Project Galileo
began 15 years ago when NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory
decided the next spacecraft would
be targeted solely for Jupiter.
You like that stuff?
Yeah, I look at stars.
So does my grandson.
He's a dreamer.
He wants to be an astronaut.
Hm, that'd be cool.
HOST [ON TV]: In 1995, Galileo will enter Jupiter's orbit
and transmit back to Earth pictures of the planet
that, at this point, we can only imagine.
OFFICER: Five years to get that thing up there?
It's far.
Grandkid will be 12 in 1995, probably
be into cars by then, girls too, the way kids are today.
[music playing]
Ronnie.
I ain't doing no tapes.
Sorry.
Me too.
Is there any way I can change your mind?
No.
You said them kids down there think I'm
some sort of hero or something.
I couldn't do nothing to change that, man.
If this happens to me, would you be there, please?
[music playing]
Yeah.
Thanks.
MAN [ON TV]: [speaking spanish]
Rosie, Rosie.
[speaking spanish]
You are the one who reads.
MAN [ON TV]: [speaking spanish]
[speaking spanish]
Nada.
MAN [ON TV]: [speaking spanish]
The program said, uh, that the Milky Way Galaxy, which
is our galaxy, and others are being pulled towards,
uh, this thing called--
wait-- the great attract--
the great attractor.
It's a-- but man, you know, it made me feel weird.
You sure you don't want to talk to a-- a chaplain?
[door opening]
Just like you ordered.
The chef made it himself.
Um, these chemicals, are they going to make me sick?
Because if I'm going to get sick,
I don't want to be eating.
You'll be OK.
[music playing]
[door opening]
[cell opening]
Well?
The phone line is open if the state executive orders a stay.
Rosie.
We have to go to the other room now.
Ronald Seebok, I have a warrant from this state which sentences
you to death by lethal injection for the murder
of Robert Cooper.
You can make a statement at this time.
