Boy moves over those machines pretty good.
Must have a date waiting for him.
GEORGE: She's going to be disappointed.
Not likely, look at him, all buffed up,
blood racing through his veins, all the poisons cleaned out.
You're missing the point.
CAPTAIN FULLER: What point?
There's these two bulls stand on a hill overlooking a herd.
CAPTAIN FULLER: Uh-huh.
The younger bulls says, lets us run down there
and get acquainted with one of them cows.
The older bull says, let's walk down there
and get acquainted with all of them.
[laughter]
Got it.
Oh.
You know, I can remember when you
and me used to get acquainted with all of them
after racing down.
GEORGE: You've got a kind memory.
Yeah.
Well, it hasn't been that long ago.
GEORGE: 22 years long.
Damn.
Seemed like last week to me.
GEORGE: Well, you've been running at what?
Youngest captain in the history of the force.
Yeah.
Well, you know, that came with the jump street unit.
Don't tell me you're getting humble after all this time.
Not likely.
Hey?
I've got me a new lady.
CAPTAIN FULLER: Aha!
Well, that explains it.
What?
CAPTAIN FULLER: Your being here.
The one's got nothing to do with the other.
CAPTAIN FULLER: Yeah.
Sure.
Truth of it is, all my suits have been
let out as far as they'll go.
Yeah.
Well, then, maybe it's time to buy
yourself a new wardrobe, pal.
You priced clothes lately, man?
Who can afford that stuff?
Oh, come off of it.
You pulling down a lieutenant's salary every week.
Oh, yeah?
You know how much of it goes out in alimony?
CAPTAIN FULLER: Oh, man.
Do I know that tune.
Anyway, why don't we go out for dinner this weekend?
I'd really like you to meet her.
CAPTAIN FULLER: Fine.
I'll have to grab myself a date.
We'll try that new steakhouse.
CAPTAIN FULLER: Oh, yeah.
Are you buying?
You bet.
CAPTAIN FULLER: Then you got it.
George?
Call 9-1-1.
He's having a heart attack.
Come on.
Come on, George.
Come back.
Come on, George.
Come on, baby.
Help is on the way.
[inaudible]
Come on, George.
Dammit.
[theme music playing]
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.
Woo.
I said jump, down on Jump Street.
You're 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 looks hopeless a decision is what you need.
You gotta be ready to, be ready to jump.
21 Jump Street.
MR. COSWELL: Come on.
Keep your balance.
Use the left.
The left.
'atta boy.
Keep coming. d Keep coming.
Come on.
Just the left.
The left.
Come on.
Good.
OK.
Let's call it night.
Getting any better?
It's getting great.
Pretty soon you'll be able to hold your own with anybody.
Yeah, sure.
Yeah.
Trust me, Jamie.
You stick with this it's going to take care of you just fine.
Well, we'll see.
In the meantime, are they leaving you alone?
I don't know what you're talking about.
You gonna stick without bringing charges?
OK.
It's your choice.
See you in class tomorrow?
Yeah, sure, Mr. Coswell Good night.
Goodnight.
JUDY: You shouldn't be in here.
Oh, come on.
The man said 9:00 AM in his office.
I'm just taking him at his word.
He didn't say 9:00 AM in his office going through his stuff.
I just want to check and see if he started
these evaluation reports.
Yeah.
Well, if he finds you in here you will be re-evaluated.
Down.
Good morning, people.
- Good morning, Captain. - Morning, Captain.
How are you?
Uh, Captain, I just wanted to say how sorry
I was about lieutenant gray.
Yeah.
Me, too.
Thank you.
You guys have been friends a long time.
Yeah.
Since the Academy.
He was 45 years old.
Last night at Blackburn high school a history teacher
named Brian Coswell was beaten into a coma by person
or persons unknown.
Gang?
Last I heard Blackburn wasn't gang territory.
Well, it still isn't.
There was nobody wearing colors.
No suspicious people hanging around the school.
So we go in blind?
No, not quite.
Coswell had mentioned to the principal
that he thought there was an extortion going
on at the school, but he didn't have enough to bring charges.
So the question is, do we go in as extorters or extortees,
right?
Last time you played a snotty rich kid, Mac,
you were so obnoxious even the good kids
wanted to beat you up.
Never mind that.
Look, let me tell you how we're going to do this, OK?
[bell ringing]
Sandy?
Hello.
You've been thinking about our proposition?
Look, why don't you just leave me alone, OK?
Come on, Sands.
You got enough money to put gas in that RX7.
You just gotta have some left over for your old pals.
You're not my pals.
It's a black one, parked third row from the end, right?
You're unbelievable.
A lot of people say that.
I'm unbelievable, too, but hardly anybody says it.
Look, we just hate to see you walking home every night.
You know, it get so dark so early.
Bad things can happen after dark.
We really would worry about you.
Look, let's just make this easy, all right?
Give it back.
Huh?
Excuse me?
You heard me.
Give her her purse back.
What's the problem?
Are you taking money from her?
She's loaning me $10.
Is that true, young lady?
Uh, yeah.
They're friends of mine.
See?
Just the $10.
What?
You want me to give her an IOU?
This is just a loan.
Right?
Yeah.
Is it OK if I go, too?
Yeah.
You a new teacher?
Mr. Coswell's replacement.
- Well, we'll see you around. - You can count on it.
I pronounce it Bolton.
Now we're going to spend the rest
of the week reviewing the events that led up
to the firing on Fort Sumter.
That'll give me a chance to understand just how
much you all really understand about why
we fought the Civil War.
There is just one thing before we start.
I know you're all upset about what happened to Mr. Coswell,
and I don't blame you.
I don't know Brian Coswell but I know that as a fellow teacher
he would want you all to concentrate on your work
until he's recovered and back in his classroom.
The last thing he'd want is for the lowlifes that hurt him
to end up hurting you as well.
So the best get well card you can
give him are good test scores.
PRINCIPAL [OVER SPEAKER]: Boys and girl, I'm afraid I
have a very sad announcement.
I've just been informed that Mr. Brian
Coswell died this morning.
The services will be on Friday morning at Hillside Memorial
and any student who wishes to attend will be excused.
If anyone has information that might be helpful to the police
in their investigation of this tragic incident,
please come to me or any teacher.
Everything will be kept totally confidential.
Well, real social kind of guy.
No problem.
I'll charm him.
You'll disarm him.
And next thing you know he'll be our best friend.
And we'll be sharing all his best secrets.
Right?
Exactly.
DENNIS: Hey, Barkley.
What do you want?
First off, we want you to stop staring at us.
Didn't your mother tell you it's impolite?
Also that it can get you hurt.
Mr. Coswell.
It was you.
You accusing us?
That is one serious, serious charge.
[inaudible].
You think I better get over there?
No.
We got to keep a low profile, remember?
Very sloppy, Barkley.
Bad manners all around.
Hey.
What is going on here?
This guy is kind of clumsy.
Looks like he's had a little help getting that way.
DENNIS: Yeah. It was an accident.
Right.
Go get yourself another lunch.
The three of, you grab a sponge, clean this mess up.
Look, I told you it was an accident.
And I told you to clean this mess up.
We got class.
Then you will do it after school.
We got practice.
Then you will do it after practice.
Are you starting to get the idea, gentlemen?
Mr. Lear, Mr. Henry, and Mr. Richards.
Right?
Just to put into my appointment book.
That doesn't seem too low profile to me.
Not unless they redefined it.
You're here late.
Yeah.
Well, I thought I'd come by and keep you company, you know?
Thank you, but I have my own company coming.
Yeah, I noticed.
They should be here soon.
So maybe you better take off.
All right, Mac?
Uh, Captain?
What are you doing?
I'm getting acquainted with three suspects.
At least that's what I think they are.
With no backup?
You're drawing attention to yourself.
Not to mention--
There are a couple of things I haven't taught you yet.
You said you were going in as a teacher, not a replacement
for the murder victim.
That's the opening they had.
Look, Mac, I appreciate your concern, but--
Ah, gentlemen.
Well, I hope that clears up those questions
for you, young man.
Well, actually, I have a couple more.
They'll wait till tomorrow.
OK?
Yes, sir. That will be fine.
Good.
I'll see you then.
OK.
Where's Mr. Lear?
He had a family emergency.
Ah.
I'll expect a note from his parents to that effect.
His folks are divorced.
Well, then you tell him that I will accept
a note from either one of them.
All right, gentlemen?
Brushes, sponge, mop, water.
I'll let you decide who's going to do what.
[bell ringing]
Hey.
JUDY: So you lost him?
Yeah.
Well, he lost me is more like it.
And don't start in on me about how
I was working with no backup.
OK?
I'm not saying a word, captain.
So what's our next move?
I think I've just learned the secret of shutting you two up.
Captain, it's just--
CAPTAIN FULLER: What?
We don't know what we're doing on this case.
Trying to find a murderer.
But how?
Not by the book you taught us.
Because it looks like you threw that book out.
But those three are our best lead.
There could be other ones, captain.
Then why don't you try following up that way
instead of behaving like my babysitters.
Yes, sir.
Are you going to follow up on these three, captain?
That's my plan.
Captain, if it is these three then they've
already committed a murder.
I can take care of myself, OK?
But there are three of them.
And I'm a trained police officer.
So there's nothing to worry about, all right?
OK.
Fine.
Now if there's nothing else I've got
some paperwork to catch up on.
Goodnight, Captain.
Goodnight.
[music playing] Baby first steps from a crawl.
You can't help him if he falls.
First he stumbles then he runs to the beat
of a new world drum.
In a town on a busy street, in the fire
through the heat, until my heart no longer beats, yeah.
I walk alone.
Yeah.
Yeah, I walk alone.
This world is what I call my own.
Before you call yourself a man you got to take a step.
I walk alone.
JUDY: These kids bring a brand new meaning to stonewalling.
Nobody saw anything.
Nobody heard anything.
And no one knows anything.
I mean, I haven't had so many doors slammed in my face
since I sold Girl Scout cookies.
Yeah.
I guess Brian Coswell ran up against the same thing.
How so?
Well, he started his boxing club up a couple of weeks ago,
you know? Middle of the semester.
Out of the blue.
I asked some of the other teachers.
Evidently, he talked about this extortion thing to them.
Did he mentioned any names?
Teachers won't repeat them.
They're all afraid of being hit with a lawsuit, or worse.
Anyway, they said that Coswell thought if he couldn't get
the kids to accept his help, he'd at least try and get them
to help themselves, you know?
Well, you know, captain, that didn't
sound like such a bad idea.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
So I'm starting the club up again.
It's been a long time since you put on some boxing
gloves, Captain Fuller.
Oh, yeah.
Well, Officer, you know, once you got it,
you get it all your life.
It's just like riding a bicycle.
Well, let's hope son.
Remember, gentlemen, always keep your weight
on the balls of your feet that way you can always
move around nice and easy.
You've heard the expression, caught flat footed.
This is where it comes from, huh?
Mr. Hammond, how'd you like to help you with my demonstration?
Uh, well, you know, I don't want
to take anybody's place here.
So--
Uh, you're the only one with gloves on.
Yeah.
OK. I'll give it a shot.
All right, gentlemen.
I'm going to show you what I mean about the feet.
Hit me.
Go ahead.
See what I mean, gentlemen?
I'm not using my hands at all.
It's all the feet.
Not using any hands.
Just my feet and my brain.
Sorry. It's OK.
- You said hit you.
It's all right.
It's time for me to use my hands now.
Give me your best shot, Mr. Hammond.
Your basic weapon, keep it up!
I think they've got the idea.
Come on. Come on Come on.
Let's keep going.
Keep going.
OK.
Gentlemen, your jab is the best weapon you have.
Remember, stick it out there nice and sharp.
Left jab, always push off on your right foot stepping
off with the left foot, pushing off with your right, gentlemen.
And remember, keep the right hand up high close to the chin.
Protect yourself at all times.
How about I take a turn?
I'm not going yet.
CAPTAIN FULLER: Let's give the man a chance.
MAC: OK.
I see you've sparred before, Mr. Richards.
A couple times.
We're just going over the basics here today.
The basics are fine with me.
All right.
Gentlemen, we'll be demonstrating
the left hand again.
The left hand is designed to keep your opponent off balance
and to keep him away from you.
Always remember, put your weight on the balls of your feet.
Now the man is trying much too hard
and moving in one direction.
And all his movements are predictable,
which makes it very easy.
See?
Throwing wild punches is the worst thing you can do.
It leaves you wide open for all kinds of--
MAC: Woe. Easy.
Woe.
I think, uh, we get the idea, Mr. Fuller.
I don't know what's up with him.
Well, I don't know.
You're the one who's been working
with him all these years. - Well, I'll tell you what.
I've never seen him like this before.
He's-- - Out of control.
- Exactly. - I know.
He's out of control.
Evening, people.
Captain.
Want to know where I've been?
In the principal's office.
I have not been in the principal's office in--
never mind.
What did he want?
What he wants is for me to get out of his school.
What he wants is to make sure that Richard's
parents aren't going to sue him for assault by a teacher.
What he wants is for his school to run nice and smooth.
And if the price for that is not finding Coswell's killer?
Well, then he can live with that.
Well, I can't.
So what are you going to do?
Clear my stuff out.
I mean, what choice have I got?
If we don't have his cooperation there's
not much chance we stay secret.
All he's going to do is stand in the corridor yelling
cop and pointing his finger.
JUDY: So we're on our own?
Right.
Business as usual.
People, I want these guys nailed.
Understood?
[bell ringing]
All right. They're coming.
How long?
Give it about a count of seven.
Seven, Six, five, four, three, two, one.
Why are you doing this?
I told you I left my wallet at home.
MAC: Bull.
Come on.
Nobody leaves home without money.
I told you.
I don't have any.
What's this?
That was my grandmother's.
Please.
Oh, isn't that nice?
Isn't that nice?
I'll tell you what, maybe I'll take this instead of the money.
But-- look, I'll bring you the money tomorrow.
I promise.
OK?
OK, fine.
Yeah.
I tell you what, maybe, maybe, I'll
let you buy it back from me.
What do you think you were doing?
Oh, I was just passing along the collection plate, boys.
Only I didn't bother with the plate, you know?
This is a nice school.
And that kind of thing is frowned upon.
Not by you guys, from what I hear.
DENNIS: Yeah?
What do you hear?
Well, only that you guys aren't hurting for lunch money,
or dinner money for that matter.
That's what I hear.
Well, you hear right.
One reason being that we don't have any competition.
Didn't have any competition.
Don't.
Yeah.
Well, you know, is it worth it?
What?
Well, having to grow eyes in the back of your head.
Because if you guys try anything,
well, that's what you're going to have to do,
watch your backs 24 hours a day.
Not worth it.
Not this time.
Hey, Jamie.
Mr. Fuller
What's going on?
I was wondering, what time is the boxing club open tonight?
Oh.
Well, that's something we should all talk about.
Jamie, I'm not sure the boxing club
is such a good idea anymore.
Oh, it's an excellent idea.
I didn't think so at first when Mr. Coswell started it.
But once he got us to come around,
things started to change.
After what happened to Mr. Coswell things
have kind of gone back to the way they were.
Until last night when we saw you handle Dennis Richard.
Um, what I did with Dennis Richards was wrong.
I mean, Dennis is still just a kid.
He hurts people.
They all do.
And worse.
What are you saying, Jamie?
- Nothing. - Look, Jamie?
Can you connect him to Mr. Coswell's death?
No.
Will you testify about them extorting you?
No.
Look, Jamie, I can protect you.
No, you can't.
That's what Mr. Coswell finally made us understand.
No one can do that for somebody else.
What you can do is show me how to protect myself.
That's all I'm asking.
Will you do that, Fuller?
For all of us.
CAPTAIN FULLER: All right.
Left, left.
Left, right.
That's right.
You set everything up with the left jab.
Left.
Left, right.
Left, right, hook.
There you go. There you go.
Watch your feet. Watch your feet.
Stay on the ball.
Stay on the balls of your feet.
Left, and right.
All right. All right.
Hey, hey, hey.
Why don't we try this for real now?
Terry?
Get in here.
Let's see what you guys have learned, huh?
Touch gloves, guys.
All right.
Round one.
Keep them hands up.
Jab. Jab.
Stick him. Stick him.
Stay on the balls.
All right.
Yeah.
Jab. All right.
Get on the balls of your feet.
On the ball of your feet, Jamie.
Don't get caught flat footed like that.
Come on, baby.
Come on.Oh!
See, Jamie. All right.
All right.
Round. Round.
Clang. Round.
Round.
That's it. That's it.
Good work, both of you guys, huh?
All right, guys.
That's it.
Why don't we call it a night, huh?
Hey. Hey.
Not the the end of the world, huh?
Getting a little bloody nose?
Hell, I didn't even feel it.
'atta boy.
Tomorrow night? Same time?
You got it.
I bet Mac $10 you wouldn't be here.
I thought you know me better than that.
I thought I did, too.
Well, things change.
OK?
Didn't say a word, Captain.
Good.
I'm using the mitts, guys.
I'm not putting any gloves on.
That's not the problem.
There is no problem.
You have an assignment.
I expect you to take care of it.
Whatever I'm doing here is separate and apart from that.
JUDY: But it's not.
I say it is, Detective.
End of discussion.
Is that clear?
That's clear.
See you tomorrow.
Jamie?
Easy, easy, easy.
I didn't--
Oh.
I didn't keep the left up.
Was it Richard?
Come on.
Tell me.
If it was, they're in jail tonight, Jamie.
Just tell me.
Oh. Hey, Jude.
Hello.
Well, hospital says Barkley is going to be OK.
They just want to hold him overnight for observation.
Did he say anything about who did it?
No.
Uh, Jude, I think I owe you an explanation.
No. No.
You don't have to explain anything.
Well, my problem is I'm not sure I can.
Well, this is a switch.
I'm usually the one coming to you.
Yeah.
I know I'm supposed to be the one with all the answers,
only I haven't got any.
Maybe that's because there aren't any.
What?
This is tied into Lieutenant Gray dying.
Hell, I know that, Jude.
I just don't know how.
Well, it's tough to come face to face
with our mortality, Captain.
We're cops.
We do that all the time.
No.
No, that's different.
You know, I remember when I was a little girl,
I was about seven or eight, my father was working away,
writing something.
So I look over his shoulder and I see that it says will.
I mean, I never even thought about this man dying.
He was my daddy.
Too big, too strong to ever die.
But I knew then at that moment that he was going to.
And my world was never the same after that.
You know, these last few days I've been feeling
like my life is out of control.
It's like I'm burning up and there's no way to stop it.
It's like there's not enough oxygen. I'm sitting
on my butt behind that damn desk and I'm just waiting
to kill over like George.
So I wanted to take control.
I wanted to have an effect on something.
Like get those victimized kids out from under.
Right.
And it turns out I can't control that either.
Wrong.
What?
You'll control that like you always do.
You use the book.
You use the rules.
Just like you taught us over all these years.
So when did you get so damn smart, huh?
I've been watching you all this time.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
[bell ringing]
I don't think you'll have much of a turnout?
Why is that?
Word is you can get hurt.
Boxing is a dangerous sport.
Mr. Richards, can I speak with you in my classroom
for a moment, please?
Sure, man.
So what's up?
The hell do you think you're doing?
I'm putting you on notice.
I'm going to bring charges, man.
There are no witnesses, man.
Just like Jamie Barclay had no witnesses,
and Brian Coswell had no witnesses.
Look, I don't know what you're talking about.
You listen up and you listen good.
I'm coming after you and your buddies.
And I'm going to get you.
Today, tomorrow, next week.
Sooner or later I'm going to find somebody who'll
testify about what you do.
And then you're going to find out what bringing
charges is really all about.
Hey, man? What's wrong?
That damn Fulton.
What's he doing now?
He says he's going to shut down our collection business.
Who does he think he is?
Dudley Do Right?
Look, I don't know, but I don't
plan on letting him do it.
You need some help?
Look, I don't recall asking for any volunteers.
Hey, man, he gets on you, he gets on me.
I figure we got common interest here.
This make get rough.
No problem.
OK.
We'll meet tonight on third and Brookhurst.
7 o'clock.
See what we can figure out.
I'll be there.
Well, Watch says 7:20.
Hit your break lights if you got the same.
I don't know what happened to him.
They said third and Brookhurst. Wonder where they are.
He'll be waiting there all night.
I don't know what his angle is.
But he's just a little too anxious to deal himself in.
Let's go take care of business.
I think we've been had.
All right.
We better get over to the gym.
Come to join the club again, boys?
Nah.
You ain't that good a teacher.
Well, you really haven't given me a chance.
That's what the loser always says.
Don't be so sure I'm a loser.
Oh, you are.
Big time.
I count, what?
One, two, three of you.
More than enough.
Maybe for Barkley.
Any one of us could have handled that.
What about Coswell?
Well, we didn't mean for it to go that far.
Shut up, Lear.
Hey.
JAMIE BARKLEY: Let him go, Richards.
You've got to be kidding me.
Yeah? Just try us.
Please.
Give us an excuse.
OK, I give up.
What's going on?
MAC: Oh, just teaching her a little self-defense, Captain.
Ah.
For what?
I mean, you took self-defense at the Academy.
Yeah.
But you guys made it look like so much fun.
Yeah.
Well, boxing can be a lot of fun.
But, Mac, be careful with those mitts, man.
Because they don't keep you from getting
poked in they eye every once in a while.
Tell me about it, Captain.
Tell me about it.
[music playing]
