[music playing]
- I have good news. - Let me guess.
They put "Gilligan's Island" back on TV.
Try a football scholarship to state.
Get out of here.
Free ride, full boat, all expenses paid.
You got it.
Del, that's great You gonna take it, Del?
Don't know.
What do you think?
I think you want to take it.
Am I right?
But would it be fair to all the other guys
who could get the scholarship?
We're not talking about all the other guys.
Look, if you want to take it, then I think you should.
Will you come visit me at state?
I'll be there so often, you'll be sick of me.
[music playing]
[SINGING] We never thought of finding
the place where we belong.
Don't have to stand alone.
Never let you go.
Don't no need permission to decide what you believe.
I said jump, down on Jump Street.
Your friends will be there when your back it 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 better be ready to-- be ready to jump.
21 Jump Street.
I prepared a speech all about how tragic Del's death is.
But now that I think about it, Del would've really hated that.
He'd much rather me get up here and tell
dirty jokes or something.
Maybe I'll tell you something funny about Del as a kid.
He'd like that.
Like the time our parents sent us to the park
for swimming lessons.
Del was pretty brave, but there was one thing he
was really scared of, drowning.
He wouldn't go within 10 feet of water.
By the time we got to the park, Del
was so determined not to go in the pool
that he stole some iodine from the medicine cabinet
and put little red dots all over his body.
Then, he told the swim teacher that he couldn't go in the pool
cause he had chicken pox.
Well, of course she didn't fall for it.
I mean, chicken pox don't soak through
your t-shirt before they dry.
You sure you're OK?
Yeah.
No.
I'm sad.
I'm angry, frustrated.
How about you?
Add guilt to that list.
Guilty?
Yeah.
I should've made a speech at the funeral, like you did.
I was the second best friend.
I guess I was just too afraid I'd
break down crying or something.
Hey, that's what funerals are for.
OK?
Excuse me.
I'm looking for Suzanne Ross.
Oh, you found her.
Oh, great.
Well, the office said you were looking for a biology tutor.
Yeah.
I guess I am. - Great.
I'm your man.
Name's Tim Lombardi.
You're a biology-- thanks.
You're a biology tutor?
Yeah.
No way.
Biology tutors have thick glasses,
bow ties, pocket holders.
Sorry.
I could get those if you'd like.
No.
It's OK.
So how much?
What?
Well, do you tutor out of the goodness of your heart
or for money?
Little bit of both.
$5 an hour.
OK.
Let's start with this DNA stuff.
It confuses the hell out of me.
What causes a mutation and what does a messenger RNA do anyway?
OK.
That's easy.
Now, just think of the messenger RNA as a little delivery guy.
OK?
He's one of those hats with wings on it,
you know, funny look shorts and--
Well, what's his name?
Ralph. Ralph.
That kind of jumps out at you.
What does Ralph do?
All right.
Now, Ralph-- Ralph goes from the nucleus of the cell
to the protoplasm, right?
And he says-- the mother says, the genetic code says to give
this girl beautiful blue eyes.
Well, what if the mother didn't have blue eyes?
Well, then, Ralph says the dad's DNA says to give
this girl beautiful blue eyes.
Uh huh.
No?
I know.
Ralph Rennan said, the mailman's DNA said
to give this girl blue eyes.
So how about you?
What?
Which parent gave you that amazing face?
Well, that actually-- that brings
us back to our first question.
What causes a mutation?
Yeah.
What do you think you're doing?
Comparing windshield wipers.
What does it look like I'm doing?
Well, it looks to me like you're casing cars.
You're joking, right?
This baby happens to be mine.
These other cars belong to my friends, none of which
would want you to touch them.
Got it?
Sorry.
But I have to touch them.
I'm putting these pep rally leaflets on the windshields.
Show your school spirit.
Support the football team.
You don't know who I am, do you?
I am the football team.
Well-- well, just think.
If you let me finish, all these people will be supporting you.
ADAM: We ran a check on your pal in the parking lot.
His name is Vince Ingersol.
Anything interesting?
Yeah.
A report was filed last week after the Woodrow game.
Seems old Vince had a head on collision in the end zone
with one of his teammates.
So?
Then, old Vince finished the guy off with a fist on
and feet on collision before the guy could get up.
Let me guess.
This teammate was Del Martin?
Bingo.
I got it.
You want me to go pick him up?
No, no.
Not yet.
All we've got is circumstantial.
See what else you can find out about the guy, huh?
Right.
[phone ringing]
Captain.
ADAM: What?
Are you gonna that that?
No.
You want me to get it?
No.
Would you like to talk about it?
No.
You know those little damn beepers that people wear
on their belts, those-- those paging things,
you know the kind that beep you and then--
then display a number.
Well, it seems that this no good beeper company
has accidentally transmitted my number
to every beeper they have.
Hello.
Hi, Diane. Yes.
I did call you.
The beeper company tells me you're one red hot mama
looking for a good time.
My name is Rod.
I'm clean, discreet.
I'm a six foot two love making machine.
She hung up.
Go figure.
What's happening?
Get in there, you silly sucker.
How's that case going?
It's coming pretty good.
Thank god I remembered that biology.
Hey, you're pretty good at this.
I ought to be.
I've been playing for five years straight.
Asked the department for a new game.
They said, we're sorry, we don't have a pinball budget.
Can you imagine that?
I'm appalled.
So you've been with Jump Street for five years, huh?
Yeah.
Haven't lost a game yet.
So you've been under in a lot of different situations.
Sure.
You ever have to get close to a good looking girl
while you were under?
Few times.
You ever get interested?
Tilt. Interested?
Yeah.
You know, like if you met her under any other circumstances,
you'd probably ask her out.
Does this girl have anything to do with your murder case?
No.
I'm just-- I'm-- I'm talking hypothetically here, you know?
Well, I don't get involved, hypothetically.
Why not?
A lot of reasons.
Like?
Like you could blow your cover.
Like you could miss some important information.
Like you could get thrown off the force for code violations.
Hypothetically, of course.
But there's no law against a police officer
dating an 18-year-old woman.
No.
There's no law.
But ethically, it stinks.
She thinks you're someone you're not.
It's just not a good idea.
You really think so, huh?
Don't shave while the train is moving.
What?
Yes.
Hi.
Is Suzanne here?
Who are you?
I'm Tim Lombardi.
Is that supposed to means something to me?
ANTHONY: I'm her tutor.
Tutor in what?
Biology.
That figures.
Daddy, leave Tim alone.
Hi.
SUZANNE: Come on in, Tim.
So Daddy, weren't you heading out?
Well, I'm in no hurry.
What are you two kids gonna do tonight?
Oh, I thought we'd take a can of lighter fluid,
put it in the microwave, turn it on high, and blow up the house.
Don't forget, it's a school night.
OK.
Bye, Daddy.
MR. ROSS: Good night, sweetheart.
Jeez, why doesn't he just stick
a metal detector in the doorway or x-ray my books or something?
I'm sorry.
Does he always treat guys like that when we come over here?
Well, he's been a little overprotective since Mom died.
I'm sorry.
It's OK.
So guess what?
ANTHONY: What?
I gotta a B on my bio exam.
Get out of here. All right.
That's great.
SUZANNE: I just missed one question.
And what was that?
Well, I didn't realize the DNA could carry stuff
like talent and personality.
Well, that's just a theory.
It hasn't been proven yet.
I mean, look at you.
You-- you obviously didn't inherit your father's
stellar personality.
Watch it.
I probably got a lot of good stuff from that guy.
ANTHONY: Oh, yeah. Like what?
Like I'm a good dancer.
Get out here.
You mean that guy i just met can dance?
Well, he's not Michael Jackson or anything,
but he's pretty good.
Oh, and you inherited that, right?
Yeah.
OK.
[music playing]
Show me.
You're supposed to be teaching me biology, not dancing.
Come on.
I'm showing you genetics.
Come on.
You're pretty good.
You're a--
Different.
Yeah.
Different.
It's a good word.
So you and Del danced a lot?
Oh, we went to the odd dance when neither of us
were dating anyone.
Wait.
I thought you guys were dating each other.
No.
We were just good buddies.
We never got romantically involved.
But we did toy with it a couple times.
It never went anywhere.
Yeah.
I-- I guess we should study.
I shouldn't be doing this.
Neither should I.
Hey, hey, hey.
What's the matter?
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, are you all right?
What's the matter?
Could you take me to the hospital, please?
It's OK.
It's all right.
NURSE: Any medication allergies? SUZANNE: No.
Excuse me.
Can't this stuff wait, please?
She needs to see a doctor right now.
We need these facts for a doctor
to make an informed diagnosis.
Could you please hurry up a little?
I'm trying to.
Any surgery in the past 10 years?
Never.
Are you currently taking any prescription medications?
Yes. NURSE: What?
Can I just tell the doctor, please?
I'm sorry.
I need to record this for the log.
I'm taking AZT.
Wait-- wait.
Isn't-- isn't AZT--
Yeah.
It's a drug for AIDS.
How you doing?
I was gonna ask you the same thing.
Why?
I'm not the one who's sick.
Then, why do you look so green?
WOMAN [OVER PA]: [inaudible] to ER.
Come on.
Talk to me, Tim.
What do you want me to say?
The truth.
I want you to say you're scared, hurt, angry.
How about surprised?
That's a start.
I just--
I can't-- I can't imagine.
It's just, you seem so happy.
Sorry.
Didn't mean to be happy.
You know what I mean.
No.
I don't.
Why shouldn't I enjoy every second of life?
I can't--
I just don't think I would be that strong.
Yes, you would.
As long as other people don't treat you like you're sick,
you don't have to treat yourself that way.
That's why I don't want anyone to know.
And I'm the only one who does?
You and Daddy.
What about the guy who--
I'm-- I'm sorry.
That's none of my business.
It wasn't a guy.
It was a needle.
We were at a party and everyone was doing it.
It's the only time I've ever done drugs.
I'll regret that night for as long as I live.
I shouldn't've gotten so romantic with you.
It's not fair to either of us.
You don't have to see me anymore.
What if I want to?
Then, I won't let you.
Why not?
You know why not.
I won't let this thing hurt anyone else.
Look, if you think I'm gonna get physical--
I'm not talking about sex.
I'm talking about dying.
Don't say that.
Why?
Because if I don't talk about it, it'll go away?
It won't.
Sooner or later, hopefully later, I'm gonna die.
It's a fact I've learned to deal with.
The hardest part is knowing how much it's
gonna hurt Daddy when I go.
I don't want to add you or anyone else
to the list of people I leave behind.
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess.
Hey.
Take it easy on those flippers.
No pinball budget to fix it.
Remember?
I told you about Marta, right?
Yeah.
You know, when I found out she was going
to be sent to El Salvador, it was the same
as getting a death sentence.
I mean, she knew it and I knew it.
It's not the same thing man, all right?
Oh no?
All I could think of was, why Marta?
All you can think of, why Suzanne, right?
I mean, what could she possibly have done to deserve to die?
Right?
The worst part, the absolute worst part
was that I was mad at myself forever falling
for her in the first place.
God.
I hate myself for thinking that.
Yeah.
I did too.
I thought of something though.
It's kind of weird, but it made me feel better.
What was that?
I realized that Marta, she would've died whether I
showed up in her life or not.
But at least I was there to give her a little happiness
that she might not have had.
You're up early.
Had to get the car.
SUZANNE: It's fixed already?
Well, enough so I can drive it.
The bodywork will have to wait til the next paycheck.
SUZANNE: I thought you said a tree hit it.
That's right.
Doesn't look like a tree could do that.
What do you mean?
Just looks like you hit something.
Yeah, well, you caught me.
I lied.
I didn't want you to think your old man was an idiot.
What did you do?
Oh, I was trying to read a map.
I wasn't paying attention to where I was going.
Went up on a traffic island and hit a tree,
couple of dead tree limbs fell on the hood.
Pretty stupid, huh?
So you did hit a tree?
Yeah.
Why?
Something wrong?
Nothing.
I'm late.
You guys OK down there?
Super.
Just great.
Hey, Jerry.
I gave you the time you asked for, Gerald.
Now, it's up. - Come on, man.
Can't you wait until we're done?
You're done.
Let's go, Gerald.
[coaches shouting]
- Hi. - Hi.
How you doing?
I'm fine.
How about you?
Fine.
Listen, you want to go grab a burger or something tonight?
No thanks.
Gerald and I are studying.
Then, how about tomorrow?
Tim, please, I thought I made myself clear.
Look, do you mind-- mind giving us a second here,
just to--
Yeah, I do mind.
She doesn't want to talk to you.
It's OK, Gerald.
It's OK.
Look, whatever happened to want--
wanting to enjoy every second of life, huh?
I still do.
Well, let me help you, OK?
I mean, I don't know about helping you enjoy
every second of life, but--
but I'd sure like a crack at trying to help you enjoy
every second of Saturday night.
I told you, I don't want you to get hurt.
Look, you worry about you, OK?
And I'll worry about me.
So come on.
What do you say?
Get a little hamburger, some French fries, a malt?
Come on.
Let's go for a ride.
I did the tests you requested.
And?
And his blood is definitely HIV positive.
So he did have AIDS?
Well, HIV positive doesn't always mean
that a person has the disease.
But in his case, he did.
OK.
Can you tell how long he had it?
Well, I checked his lungs and his stomach.
They were covered with ulcers and brown spots.
I'd say he probably had detectable symptoms
for at least a year.
Detectable?
So he knew he had it?
Definitely.
Why did you lie to me?
What do you mean?
You never used a needle before in your life.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about you got AIDS from sexual contact
with Del Martin.
You don't know that.
The morgue verified he had the disease and Del's mother
said that he gave it to you.
The morgue?
What were you doing in the morgue?
And what were you doing talking to Del's mother?
Who the hell are you, some kind of cop?
Get out of my house.
No.
Not until you explain why you lied to me.
Explain why I lied to you?
What do you call what you've been doing?
Look, I'm sorry.
Maybe the reason we met was a lie.
I'm sorry for that, Suzanne.
But the way I've started to feel for you, that is real.
You got to believe me.
Get out.
You got to tell me the truth, Suzanne.
Who are you trying to protect?
Get out of my house now.
Suzanne.
What the hell is going on in here?
Daddy, please make him leave.
What did you do to her?
You have to tell me the truth, Suzanne.
I asked you a question.
I didn't do anything to her.
She asked you to leave.
Now, do you want me to call the cops?
I am the cops.
What?
What do you want?
Did Suzanne tell you how she contracted AIDS?
My daughter and I don't have any secrets from each other.
So she did tell you?
Yeah.
When did she tell you, Mr. Ross?
MR. ROSS: Last Tuesday.
Where were you last Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 PM?
Get out of my house.
Not until you answer the question.
Unless you have a warrant, get out of my house
or I'll have you up on charges.
Fine.
I'm sorry.
You got close to me to prove Daddy did it.
You lied to me to protect him.
No.
I didn't.
I promised Del's family I'd keep their secret.
But you told your father, didn't you,
the night before Del was killed?
Yeah.
Is this your father's car?
He said this dent is from a tree falling on it at work.
But you don't believe that, do you?
Please don't arrest him.
I have to do my job, Suzanne.
But it could take several months to get him out,
even if he is innocent.
So you've been doing your homework, huh?
I asked a lawyer friend of mine.
He said it could take many months to set bail.
He's right.
It could.
Tim, I may not have several months.
I'm sorry, Suzanne.
And you didn't bust it?
I don't think we have enough evidence.
Sounds like he had a motive, opportunity,
and maybe even a murder weapon.
Wouldn't hold up in court.
Mac, it is not your job to judge what will
and will not hold up in court.
Your job is to judge whether or not you
have probable cause for arrest.
No, offense, Mac, but you got probable cause
coming out the wazoo.
ANTHONY: Now, wait a minute.
What about this Vince Ingersol kid, huh?
I mean, he's got just a big of dent in his hood
as Mr. Ross does and we didn't bust him.
He didn't have a motive.
ANTHONY: but we don't know that.
He beat up Del Martin last week.
Maybe there's more to that than just too much testosterone.
Mac, beating up and killing are two very different things.
Look, I'm just asking that we rule out
any other possibilities, OK, before we make
this girl's life any worse?
In the meantime, what if Ross takes his daughter
on a scenic trip through Europe?
He wouldn't.
ADAM: How do you know that?
Because he loves his daughter.
All she wants is just to go on living her life.
He wouldn't make her go away from her friends and home.
All right.
We bring Ingersol in for questioning.
Let's hope he's your man.
But if he's not, we're busting Ross, today.
So you want to tell me what I'm in here for?
Just to answer a few questions.
You and Del Martin got in a little fight last week.
You want to explain that?
Yeah.
We had a head on in the end zone.
So what? - No, Vinny.
Vinny, after the head on, you punched and you kicked the guy
while he was still down.
What was that about?
I lost my temper.
You lost your temper?
Come on, Vinny.
You don't beat up someone like that for nothing.
You can tell me.
What was it?
I mean, did he get too tight with your girl, was that it?
- Did he insult you? - No.
ADAM: Then, why'd you beat him up?
I told you. I lost my temper.
You were seen taking money from Gerald Dell
yesterday, what was that about? - So what?
Is there a law against the guy giving you money he owes you?
What was the money for?
To fix my car.
Wait.
Your car?
What did you do to your car?
No.
Not me, Gerald.
You see, I loaned him my car to pick up
some mats for the cheerleaders.
So what does he do?
He brings it back with this huge dent in the hood.
So I made him pay for it.
Something wrong with that?
When did that happen?
When did you learn Gerald your car?
I don't know.
Wednesday, after school.
Oh, Vince, you are my favorite gorilla.
GERALD: That's not gonna work.
Let's take it from the top again.
Ready, begin.
What's the deal?
Why aren't you dressed for practice?
Everyone, take five.
What's going on here?
What's going on is you're under arrest.
What?
You're under arrest for the murder of Del Martin.
You're kidding, right?
You have the right to remain silent.
If you give up that right, anything you say
can and will be used against you in a court of law.
I don't understand.
You killed him?
No.
I mean, I didn't plan to.
It's just that he was getting in our way, Suzanne.
You have the right to speak with an attorney
and have an attorney present during questioning.
12 years, I wanted to be with you,
but I never could because of Del, prom, the Christmas
dance, you name it.
You were with him.
So I'm sitting there in Vince's car
waiting to pick up the mats.
Del walks right in front of me.
There he was, like he was on a silver platter or something.
Oh my god.
OK. That's it.
Let's go, pal.
Thank you.
For what?
For going out on a limb for me.
You could've arrested Daddy last night.
You gonna be all right?
Yeah.
For a while.
I'd like to see you again.
Be kind of difficult, unless you come to San Francisco.
San Francisco?
I'm going to a clinic there.
They're experimenting with a new drug.
They say it's pretty promising.
It won't save my life, but it may extend it a year or two.
Yeah.
Well, A lot can happen in a year or two, right?
A lot can happen.
I don't even know your real name.
Anthony McCann.
It's nice to meet you, Anthony McCann.
Nice to meet you.
[music playing]
