What's this?
What's the matter?
Don't you like my [inaudible]?
I don't like this, man.
You're always doing this to me, man.
I've had it.
I'll be back right now.
That's it.
I hate you.
Nobody messes with me.
I'm coming back for you.
One happy customer.
Probably didn't honor his double coupons.
It's 10 minutes since the last time you looked.
It's 15 minutes past the end of the shift.
I think your snitch gave us a load of crap.
Hey, my guy is reliable.
Never trust a snitch.
[car phone ringing]
Penhall.
What? Yeah.
Yeah, OK.
My kid cut himself.
Is he all right?
They got him down at County.
Let's go, OK?
Wait, wait.
Go?
We're on duty here.
He's hurt.
He's bleeding.
Look, he's going to be OK.
He's at the hospital, right?
I mean, what can you do there?
OK.
I can't believe this.
We're going to have to call for backup.
Adam 15 requesting backup Sycamore and Oakdale.
There, you got your back.
Now get the hell out.
DISPATCHER: Copy Adam 15.
Move.
Hi, Doug.
Hey.
You're in a lot of trouble, Doug.
[theme music]
[theme song] We never thought of finding
the place where we belong.
Don't have to stand alone.
We'll never let you fall.
We don't need permission to decide what you believe.
We 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'll need us because there's
no one else to call.
When it was hopeless a decision what you need.
You better be ready to, be ready to jump.
21 Jump Street.
As of now, you're removed from the Jump Street program.
It was a family crisis.
You left your partner in a dangerous situation.
Under any other condition you'd be suspended.
Do you think that's unfair?
You report to the 43rd Precinct immediately.
Who are these new guys on the watch?
Penhall's a transfer in from that Jump Street thing.
They booted him for disciplinary reasons.
Yeah, what about the rookie?
Dean Garrett.
Still checking.
Something funny about him.
- You Penhall or Garrett? - Doug Penhall.
I'm Wolf.
Welcome to the 43rd, the city's
dumping ground for washouts and rejects.
Hey, how you doing?
Hey, Penhall, that hat fit you?
It looks big.
It is a little.
Hey, wait a minute, try this one.
7 and 3/4.
That should fit you perfectly.
Thanks a lot.
No, it's too small.
Little too small, thanks anyway.
The oldest policeman's first day on the watch gag there is.
So welcome to the Wolf Pack.
[howling]
Sell drugs here, see how all the crimes go down.
Here everything's dope related, you know?
Hey, Officer, you got the time?
What am I, a wristwatch?
Where does it say Officer Timex.
Go on.
Get out of here.
So we lost the war on drugs 10 years
before they coined the phrase.
The guys in charge just turned their heads,
gave it up, left us here to try to make them look good.
You put the average cop up against the average junkie
and 9 times out of 10 the junkie wins.
In a blowout.
Come on.
We've got a lot of good guys.
Oh, yeah.
The best.
I love our boys, but it ain't up to us.
It's the guys in charge, it's the courts.
Because once we take these hopheads down,
they got no place to put them.
Nope.
It ain't up to us, Dougie. Let's roll.
[inaudible].
What's the damage?
No pay for police.
Dougie, come on.
We run a tab here.
What's my half?
You're half is zero just like mine.
Come on.
[inaudible].
You embarrassed them with your money, Penhall.
We keep a tab everywhere we go.
When do we pay the bill?
Every month?
Every time we drive by.
It's expected.
It's the way the police work in the old country,
it's the way it works here.
What, we got a problem?
No, I just been catching a lot of heat lately.
Doug, you don't have to worry about Internal Affairs
down here.
Chinese people are very tight.
They don't work for strangers.
You gotta take advantage of the way it is.
Man, you got a lot to learn if you're going
to run with the Wolf Pack.
You gotta make it look like it's their idea.
Come on.
Good afternoon, sir.
What did I do?
Well, sir, perhaps you failed to notice,
but the light at the last intersection was red.
Two other cars ran the same light.
Why'd you pull me over?
Because you were the worst offender.
May I see your license, please?
Hey, Dougie, what day is it today?
April 22nd.
Hm.
I thought every day was Christmas.
Pardon me, Officer.
I was just admiring your pen.
You wouldn't consider selling it by chance?
This is a very expensive pen.
What do they run?
$20?
Have a nice day, sir.
Every day's Christmas, huh?
Ho ho ho.
So you get how it works?
It didn't work that way at Jump Street.
Oh, well, this ain't high school.
This is how the real world runs.
If you don't use it, it uses you.
You're a good guy, Dougie.
I think you can hang with the Wolf Pack.
We're doing a little run later tonight,
you're welcome to join us.
Think about it.
Hey, guys, we might have problems.
What's up?
Found out about that new kid transferring in.
Name's Dean Garrett.
Kennedy's got a friend who went through the Academy with him.
And?
Garrett graduated middle 50s, but Kennedy
says the kid is razor sharp.
Think he purposely missed questions on the exam
to keep from graduating top of the class.
Hey, how come he didn't transfer
in with Kennedy's friend?
Got a six week leave of absence for family reasons.
Now what kind of pull does a rookie
have to get time off like that?
You think this guy's a plant from Internal Affairs?
Ah, come on, it just sounds like a rumor.
I don't think we should freak out.
[whistling]
OK, we're up.
Let's do it.
Stay right there.
[inaudible] cockroach.
Interlock your fingers above your head.
Get up.
Spread your legs.
Get up against the wall.
You have the right to remain silent.
Save it, man.
I'll be on the street in the morning.
Shut up.
What are you doing?
That's evidence.
This is going to hurt them a lot more that any courtroom.
You're one lucky hophead, you know that?
We're gonna have to let you go due to lack of evidence.
Cuffs.
You have a nice night, huh?
Let's go.
Here we go, boys.
All right.
Right.
Thank you.
Go on, Dougie.
That's the dealer's money.
No.
Remember how I told you the guys in charge gave up?
What they gave up, we take back.
Take the money.
Hey, I heard there's going to be an inspection at roll.
Ah, great.
Hey, anyone seen Officer IAD?
He's probably up in the Cap's office putting on the wire.
Hey, I thought a guy was innocent until proven guilty.
Not in the 43rd.
Kid could be just a dumb rookie.
We should still watch what we say around him.
Even better if one of us stays with him the whole time,
just in case he happens to be there when we make a run.
Seniority, Dougie.
OK.
I got a buddy of mine that's a union rep.
He can let us know if Garrett's IAD.
Till then, he's out of here.
$!0 the kid overslept.
$20 he's sitting down at the 34th precinct.
[interposing voices]
Hi.
Gentlemen, Dean Garrett.
43rd.
Well, welcome to the 43rd, Garrett.
Thank you, sir. Thanks.
It's great to be here.
Really great.
Are you a cop's cop, Garrett?
Sir?
Well, you know, I mean, if I was to say cut you,
what color would you please?
Oh, hey, blue, sir.
Absolutely, through and through.
Baby blue.
Midnight.
Why'd you become a policeman?
To protect and serve, sir.
Got a regular TJ Hooker here.
I don't believe you, TJ.
Nope.
In fact, I know.
Right now, you're monkey chow.
Look at you.
You're stiff as can be.
You're a bad cop.
You want to know why?
A good cop knows right from wrong.
That's it.
You clearly don't know your ass from a light socket,
because you're standing at my chair.
And that, Officer, is wrong.
Dead wrong.
Hey, I didn't know.
Well, this area here, this is for the boys who know what
side the bread is buttered on.
Listen, why don't you pick up your baby blue Huggies
and head up front so you can hear the Sergeant real good.
Because you got a lot to learn, TJ.
A lot.
Good morning.
What's the gag?
I heard there's going to be an inspector here today?
Oh, man.
I can only guess where you've all been sticking your heads.
Hey, clown, payback's a bitch.
So I detect a bit of an accent.
Yeah.
You called it.
New York City, New York.
Greatest city in the world.
It's open 24 hours a day.
Sometimes we don't even go out till 2:00
AM, me and my buddies.
Well, if it's so great, why'd you lave?
Well, actually, I'm from Moonachie, New Jersey.
It's kind of the Meadowlands, sports complex.
Giants, Devils, Lawrence Taylor, Jimmy Hoffa.
Yeah, I think I heard of it.
I kind of worked for a ticket scalper there when I was a kid,
so I got to see a lot of great games.
I feel like I grew up in the upper decks,
you know, with all the tickets I couldn't sell.
Grew up?
Look like you could still be in high school.
How old are you?
22 this July.
I don't want to sound like a wuss or nothing,
you know, and I know all about initiations
and earn your wings, but what was the deal at roll call
this morning?
I mean, you guys want to hassle me because I'm a rookie, no,
hey, I expect that, but you guys act like I whacked
your mothers or something.
What's going on?
How does a rookie get six weeks
off fresh out of the Academy?
I had some stuff to take care of.
What?
You guys are mad at me because I took some time off?
It's no big deal, just some bad timing.
Oh, hey, no problem, Deano, why don't you come to my place
later, we'll throw back some beers,
listen to some Creedence albums.
What are you doing?
That guy ditched his trash when he saw us.
That guy with the jacket?
Yeah.
It was a grocery bag, a big one.
Hey, hey, where you going?
Hey, red jacket, stop right there.
What, man?
Why you got to hassle me--
Shut up, hemorrhoid.
I suppose you were only taking out the trash.
You, look, we can work something out.
I got some cash.
Cash?
Oh, come on, pig.
It wasn't even my baby.
[alarm]
You got it?
Got it.
What's with laughing boy?
Garrett nailed a guy today for disposing of a stillborn that
died from its mother's habit.
Did a little dumpster diving, huh?
You're sick.
Mr. Lee, what is this, third time now?
Those bastards.
Yeah, three times.
Geez.
You know it seems to me you could use an extra eye
kept on your place.
You mean a security guard?
No, what are you going to do, hire a door slammer?
He's just going to fall asleep on you.
We'd be willing, but there's just so darn much patrol
on the 43rd, you know.
I'll tell you what, $100 a week, and that'll
hire you the extra eye.
I see.
$100?
Yeah, yeah, $100.
You think about it, and we'll come back tomorrow
and check it out with you.
OK?
Son-of-a-bitch, we just collared him this morning.
That's how things work.
Faster you learn, the less crazy you get.
And as you probably heard, an officer went down in the 38th.
He was hit in the head and chest.
His partner went after the suspect, took him
into custody without incident.
Partner, if I ever go down, I do not want the guy
taken away in a police car.
I want him in a coroner's van.
Yeah.
And I sure as hell don't want to be there with the bagpipes
playing while some ACLU lawyer gets the scumbag off.
Something you can work out with your partner.
Now, there's no other questions, let's get out there.
Yeah.
Let's go.
Hey, Dougie, Wolf Packs gonna meet
at Mr. Lee's for code seven.
Ditch Officer IAD and we'll split up the dead presidents.
Hey, hey, what did you do with TJ Hooker?
Left him at the Chinese restaurant.
Told him to order for us. - Good.
Good.
Listen, a you wait here.
I'm going to teach Dougie here how to collect.
Come on, Dougie.
Hey, sorry, I don't know what happened.
Could I just get a check, please?
No.
No pay for police.
Oh, no, no, really. I can't.
I'm not allowed.
OK.
Thanks.
Thanks a lot.
Oh, I just forgot something.
Where's Mr. Lee?
He's at the wholesaler.
Are you Officer Wolfe?
Yeah, that's right, you got something for us?
Yeah.
OK.
Tell Mr. Lee thanks very much, and see him next week.
And the next day when Geppetto awoke,
Pinocchio was a real life boy.
You sleep tight.
See you later, K?
K.
I gotta get a new apartment so he can have his own room.
He's so cute.
I sure envy you.
Sure.
Make up a story, then you go.
You know, I never realized.
I mean, I never thought things that were years down the road.
Like what, PTA meetings?
No, fear.
I have this fear.
Ever since I got Clavo, I have this fear like I'm going
to die before he grows up.
I won't be able to provide for him.
There's this young cop I'm working with.
He's just like me.
It'll be years before he thinks he's mortal,
you know what I mean?
I've been hearing some rumors around--
Around?
You mean, Ioki.
What's he doing in there?
Well, that's pretty easy to figure out.
The question is what were you doing there?
It's not like Jump Street.
It's, uh-- unless you're there.
I want out of the assignment.
Why?
Personal reasons.
What, you know the family that owns the appliance store?
No.
Love life?
No.
Penhall?
I don't--
I just want out.
Look, Harry, good undercover Asian officers
aren't easy to come by. I really need you on this one.
There's other ways to sting the 43rd.
Yeah, but not this tight.
I've already talked to narcotics.
They're ready to move to the next step on this one.
Why are we working so hard to bust our own guys?
If they're doing what they're accused of,
they're not police officers.
They're just as bad as any of that crap out there.
Look, Harry, your job is to do the best you can.
Don't worry about what others are doing.
Hey, cops.
Hey, don't go.
Come on.
We just got here.
11, your love.
Someone was on a roll.
Those guys in the alley need it more than we do.
Hope you're not angry about what happened the other day.
That was just an initiation type thing.
Come on, Doug.
Call it what it is, you ditched me, you know.
Well--
I looked so forward to joining the force,
the brotherhood, because I thought it was all automatic.
It takes time.
You've got to earn everybody's trust.
Why don't you guys trust me?
What was that thing the Sarge said
to work out between partners?
You have to work out an understanding
between you and your partner.
If he goes down, do you attend to him
or do you pursue the assailant?
We go after the guy.
Why do you say that?
Isn't that what everybody else would do?
I have a nephew that I'm taking care of,
and his mother is in a real dangerous place,
more dangerous than this precinct.
If I die, I'm never going to see him play Little League baseball
or get lovesick or nothing like that.
So if I go down, you call an ambulance.
You don't go after the guy.
You understand that?
Yeah.
Yeah, sure.
What was that thing they said about the bagpipes.
Is that somehow to fit in?
Yeah, kind of.
They play bagpipes at police officers funerals.
Yo.
I guess I'll cancel my lessons with Mr. McGillicuddy.
That's very funny.
Think so?
Hey, in the parking lot.
Call for backup.
Dean, Dean, Dean.
Just cover me, all right?
Just put the crowbar down.
Just cool it.
Just take it easy now.
Freeze, [inaudible] or I splatter
his shirt with your brains.
Get him out of here.
Doug, you OK?
I think it's OK.
What do you think you're doing?
One of the guys who slammed Penhall.
Why'd you split up?
You should have waited for backup.
I did what you guys would have done.
What the hell do you care what we would do?
Because I am part of this watch.
You are a snitch.
Man, you are freaking.
If you're wired, you're dead.
OK, but I meant what I said, you show up with an IA
microphone or a recorder--
I meant what I said.
You show up with an IA microphone or a recorder--
Hey, can we get some help?
Hey, what are you doing here?
Where's Mr. Lee?
I got your money up front.
Oh, OK.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Have a good day.
Excuse me, guys, could I just--
thanks.
Hey, you know that Lee's Appliance?
Yeah.
We found out that they're fronting for a drug dealer.
That $100 a week we've been getting, it's chump change.
We got to make a run on the place.
Got to distract Garrett somehow.
No, we don't have to.
Why not?
He's not Internal Affairs.
What?
Yeah.
I talked to that Union guy, right,
and he said that Garrett's six week leave
really was family problems.
What was the reason?
I don't know.
Who cares?
Sick mother, flaky sister.
Main thing is Garrett's not our internal snitch.
Thought he acted a little too Dudley Do Right to be a snitch.
Hey, why don't we make it up to him?
What are you saying?
That we should bring him in on this appliance store thing?
Oh, no, leave him out of it.
Now, wait a minute.
A little extra change won't hurt the kid's pockets.
What do you think, Chief?
I'm a little worried about a rookie
getting diarrhea of the mouth.
Let's take a vote on it.
I say, we owe him.
Me too.
Yeah.
Pete?
It's the kid' choice.
Dougie?
I don't have a problem with it.
OK.
I'll talk to the kid.
[knocking]
My kid's asleep, what do you want?
I talked to Wolfe.
You too, Doug?
Man, I looked up to you.
You know, OK, when I was a kid, everybody hated cops, right?
I mean, you're uncool if you didn't feel that way.
But this one time I liked this girl, Rosie Vovolino,
seventh grade, and Keith Sharpelley, my enemy for life,
he told her in front of everybody
at the Shove Park Ice Rink.
He's said douche.
I wanted to die.
So while he's playing pinball, I tilted his game.
I called him a fat pig, because he was.
And then I ran out in the ice.
He couldn't skate.
And everybody's coming up to me, telling
me, oh, he's going to kill you.
He's going to kill you.
And I stayed out on the ice for about two hours.
I was scared to freaking death.
Yeah.
I finally, I cut out the back door.
I'm hauling ass home.
It's snowing real bad, and I hear him.
I hear him coming after me.
And there I was in the snow alone,
and I kind of freaked being alone, and I fell.
And he grabbed me, and just when he's about the cave
my skull in, the snow all around goes red and blue,
and there was a cop in a car.
And he says over the PA to Sharpelley, let him go.
And then he drove along with me home about two blocks away,
and from then on, I always thought about cops differently.
You know, whenever kids would trash them in school,
in my mind, I'd say, no, I think cops are OK,
because I thought that they really were
there to protect and serve.
They are.
Doug, how can you say that?
It's a childish ideal.
I'm sorry for having believed in it for so long.
Don't quit on me here.
You gotta-- gotta hold on to that stuff.
Forget it, man, it's gone.
You took it away.
And that's when they plan to hit the appliance store?
Yep.
You've been more than cooperative, Officer Penhall.
When this is done, you'll be reinstated
to the Jump Street program.
I'm not going to be there when you make the pinch.
You've got to.
I may be inadvertently causing a good cop to go bad.
Good cops don't go bad.
This kid won't, because I won't be there,
and I think he'll follow my lead.
All right, we'll work around you.
OK, so there'll be surveillance cameras here and here.
Two SWAT team members will flank the operation.
10 officers at set locals will move in
after their transaction.
Are any of the targets actually Internal Affairs?
No, all the targets, uniformed officers, will be bad cops.
Our undercover IAD officer will moved out before the operation.
Right, Reed?
That's right.
The suspects will be meeting at a Chinese restaurant.
Once you're there, our man will get an urgent phone
call about a family crisis.
Great.
So if we're all in sync, let's take them.
So Dean, are you in or out?
My partner's in, I'm in.
OK, so you're in.
OK, there's just one other thing,
and it's kind of last minute to bring it up.
What?
Well, we've never--
we've never ripped off an oriental dealer before.
He's not just going to lay down and roll over.
They've got a habit of coming from the pocket
to protect their goods.
So?
So, one of us is going to have to keep his 38 on the chinaman
and not hesitate to put him down if--
I'll do it.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I'll do it.
Doug Penhall?
Yeah.
That's me.
Here.
Thank you.
Hello.
Yeah.
Yeah, don't worry about it.
OK.
Everything OK?
Babysitter, nightly panic.
Ready?
Let's roll, partners.
DISPATCHER: OK, Ioki, here they come.
OK, Otto, Murray, take the back.
McCurry, wait here.
Don't move, you stay right there on that [inaudible]..
A little lesson will learn him about running drugs
in the 43rd.
OK, Doug, put the gun down.
I'm IAD.
You are?
Put the gun down, Doug.
All right.
Hey, what's going on?
You're all under arrest.
No, he's IA.
He's IA.
- Hey, hey. - Kid's clean.
Back off.
I wonder if this ever happened to the cop who
saved me from Keith Sharpelley.
It really sucks what they did to you.
Some choice they gave me.
Work with IA to bust bad cops or be suspended without pay.
No, I'm talking about the sting.
I mean, keeping you and Ioki both in the dark like that.
I was in so deep, IA just told Fuller
it was best for my protection that nobody knew.
Not the first IA screw up.
Well, you're not the last.
This is it.
This is a chapel?
Yep.
It' no St. Patrick's.
Well, it shouldn't be.
St. Patrick's is a cathedral.
This is merely a chapel.
You have to get technical every time I
frigging talk to you?
Well--
Let's not get off on the wrong foot.
I don't want my first day to be like my last first day.
Yeah, all right.
Welcome to Jump Street.
[music playing]
