04x07 - Out of Control

[bunniefuu]

RADIO COMMUNICATION:
We've got an alarm

activation at Willow Street.

Do you copy?

Copy, dispatch.

That's the third time today.

Could be a system malfunction.

RADIO COMMUNICATION: Check
it out anyway, three baker.

It's what the customers pay for.

[music playing]

Guess who.

Time to go.

Did you hear something?

Shut it off.

There it is again.

I said, shut it off.

Oh, well all you had
to do was ask, officer.

Pass that civil service
exam yet, [inaudible]??

[laughter]

You like my new car?

Maybe you'll get one
for your birthday too.

Why don't you come back
when you get to be real cops.

I'm getting real tired
of you little punks.

Aw, too bad you don't have the
rocks to do something about it.

Come on, time to go.

[scream]

Quincey?

Quincey?

Quincey?

You all right?

Where are you?
- I saw them.

It was a security guard.

They just ran out.

[theme music]

THEME SONG: We never
thought of finding

a place where we belong.

Don't have to stand alone.

Never let you fall.

Don't need permission to
decide what you believe.

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 finally need us because
there's no one else to call.

When it was hopeless, a
decision's what you need.

You'd better be ready
to-- be ready to jump.

Jump Street.

We've got one witness,
guys, -year-old

named Quincy Thompson.

Claims she saw two
Split Second security

guards robbing her house.

So bring them in.

Well, she can't
make a positive ID.

Besides which, the
guards insist that it's

Quincy and her friends
that are pulling the jobs.

How many heists
are we talking?

Talking about four
in the last month.

And each time, the alarm
system was deactivated.

Inside job.

Yeah, but from which side?

Yeah, well, that's what you
guys are going to find out.

Great, we get to babysit
rich kids and rent a cops.

Harry, are you ready
for field work again?

Captain, I've been
out there already.

If this gets physical,
are you up to it?

Never felt better.

Fine, then as of now,
you're all in on it.

What's with the rabbit food?

Had my cholesterol checked.

I'm in the club.

[whistle]

Yeah, I guess you got
to worry about that stuff

when you get to be your age.

You see that thing
over there, Hanson?

That's called a door.

We seem to be in order here.

Just finish filling out
the background sheet.

I need a late pass.

This is becoming a habit.

Talk to my shrink.

Lunch period only lasts an hour,
we got a lot to talk about, OK?

Here's your schedule.

It's almost sixth period.

Hey, my cousin told me to look
someone up, Quincy Thompson.

Do you know who she is?

Yeah, she just left.

And you can do this?

Target approaching.

Quincy.

I'm busy.

Hey, my cousin knows
a friend of yours--

Great.

I just was going to say hello.

Watch where you're
going, Perkins.

What you going to do with it?

With what?

His wallet.

I saw you take it.

You saw wrong.

I'm Quincy.

This is Alex and Ted.

I'm Tom--

Hastings.

Thomas C. Mother
Margaret, father deceased.

Year and a half at Townsend
Academy then expelled.

Photographic memory.

I saw your form at the office.

Come on, guys, time
to buy Professor

Hortman some lovely items at
the Home Shopping Network.

DOUG PENHALL: All I
could get was [inaudible]

the state issued guard
card, a firearms permit

and a baton permit.

Got them.

You must also maintain
current CPR and first aid cards.

Check.

Each recruit must pass a
two week classroom course

before moving into the field.

How are we going to check these
guys out from behind desks?

These guys are a lot
stricter than I thought.

What else?

Well, all applicants
are first sent

for a medical checkup
where they must

pass a drug screening test.

What does that mean?

We'll get to tinkle in a jar.

- Troll and Chow--
- Choi.

Right.

I'm Lieutenant
Peters, welcome aboard.

Excuse me, sir,
but we've got to take

all these tests and classes.

Oh, that's the old sheet.

Split Second was just bought
out by a huge conglomerate

and they've raised
our recruiting quotas.

All we need from you
is a weapons permit

and a clean driving record.

- No physical?
- No time.

We need guys in the field.

We want to keep this
franchise alive.

Locker room's right this way.

We need possession, opportunity,
and intent before you

can draw a g*n on a suspect.

Dan Murray, [inaudible].

Meet your new trainees.

You memorize my
license plate too?

It's a gift, what can I say?

So what's the reason?
- What reason?

Why'd they kick
you out of Townsend.

None of your business.

Come on, I can keep a secret.

I stole a teacher's wallet.

I'll bet.

Can I get a ride?

Yeah.

So I figure my three
years here at Split Second

will look pretty good
on the application.

What about you guys?

You want to join the force?
- Yeah.

Sure, eventually, I guess.

Neither one of you greenhorns
looks like academy material

to me.

Oh and I suppose you are?

Actually, Choi,
you've got a sh*t.

You know, they've got
quotas for guys like you.

I bet you we make cop
before either one of you too.

What makes you think
I want to be a cop?

RADIO COMMUNICATION: Six alpha,
activation at Forman.

This is six alpha responding.

Your first call, girls.

Let's go.

[alarm ringing]

You telefono your boss, yes?

[speaking spanish] Bye bye.

[interposing voices]

No, bye bye, senor and senora.

Adios.
- Oh, airplane.

They're away.

[interposing voices]

Away, away.

What do we do now?

Do it, [inaudible].

OK.

You mean you had the
code this whole time?

We have all the codes.

[music playing]

dr*gs?

Nah, [inaudible] not the type.

Cheating?

I told you it's
none of your business.

I just want to know how
big a risk I'm taking being

in the car alone with you.

[music playing]

[crash]

Hey!

Move into the other lane.

Why?

I want to talk to Alan.

No.

Scared?

Hey, what are
you doing with him?

Sit down.

I'm going with you.

What are you, crazy?

I saw this in a
movie, it was great.

Faster!

Whoo!

There's only the
Fletcher house on this road

but they pay for a
drive by twice a day.

Hey, what's that?

It's them.

You better pull over, man.

Just keep it on the road.

They're not moving.

Shut up.

Quincy.

Get in the car.

Scared yet, Tommy?

No, just get in
the car, all right?

Tell me your scared.

All right, I'm scared.

Just get in the car.

Quincy.

Is that your lunch?

I'm not very hungry.

Look, go ahead,
I'll be right there.

OK.

You know the academy has
a physical exam as well

as a written one, Petrillo.

I forgot the salt. You OK?

Yeah.

I thought you
stopped taking those.

Well, doctor's orders.

How much?

It's just $ . ,
forget about it.

No, I got it.

Thank you.

You know how much
salt is already on that?

You really should use sea salt.

I've been looking for you.

I took the morning off.

What was that stunt
you pulled yesterday?

Fun, wasn't it?

No, it wasn't.

Come on, you didn't
feel that rush?

Your heart didn't pound and your
blood race and your head spin.

It was stupid.

Really?

I think it's better than sex.

Busy tonight?

Why?

I called Townsend
Academy, said I was

headmaster Whitman's secretary.

What did they tell you?

That you like to take things
that don't belong to you,

Tommy.

So what?

I like that in you.

Pick me up at : .

They're planning
something for tonight.

It might be a break-in.

I don't know.

These kids are crazy.

Why didn't you guys
pull your car over?

We weren't driving.

Look, I don't know what
happened on that road

out there yesterday, but
I don't want to repeat it.

Is that understood?

Hanson, is there a problem?

Other than a psychotic
-year-old girl, no.

I did some checking, Quincy's
dad d*ed about six months ago.

I've heard that can be pretty
hard on a kid that age.

RADIO COMMUNICATION:
Silent alarm.

Backdoor activation.

[inaudible] may
still be on grounds.

Roger that. six
alpha proceeding.

Maybe it's the burglars.

You think it's the
neighborhood kids?

I know it is.

Now shut up before you
get my head blown off.

[g*n sh*ts]

You could've k*lled somebody.

Where's Ted and Alex?

We're meeting them.

It's kind of late, isn't it?

My mom's on a date.

What about your dad?

Away.

My shrink said it's part of
my problem, no authority figure

to check my
sociopathic behavior.

White shirt, no
wonder you got caught.

They went to bed about
a half an hour ago.

Perfect.

All yours, Teddy.

What's the code?

Nichols, Gary and Nancy,
Mathers, .

How did you know that?

[inaudible] once.

Getting faster, let's go.

Wait.

Aren't we going in?

[inaudible] Come on.

Uh, what are we doing here?

Keep your pants on.

Taking all the fun out of this.

Maybe they ought to invest
in their own security systems.

Call the dispatcher, .

Tell them to check out a
problem in the computer room.

Dispatch.

We got a problem
in the computer room.

Check it out.
- Yes, sir.

Six alpha,
[inaudible] activation

at the Nichol residence.

Mather Street.

Suspect may still be on grounds.

Over.

This is six alpha responding.

This could be it.

Let him out.

Hey.

Hey.

Go.

[scream]

Hands up.

Call .

Tell them we've
caught the burglars.

How can I warn you about
something I didn't know?

Hey, hey, hey, relax guys.

There's certain
procedures you're supposed

to follow in the field.

Oh, you're really getting into
that uniform, aren't you, Doug?

That's enough.

Look, captain, we
know it's the kids.

Let's just bring them in.

These kids are
first time offenders.

They're going to have the
best lawyers money can buy.

I mean, we're never going to get
a robbery conviction unless we

actually catch them in the act.

We're just going to have to
wait until they try again.

I'm late.

How you doing, Harry?

Fine.

Any problems?

No.

Good, then at least one of
you is keeping a level head.

I used to come up here to
smoke cigarettes until I read

the Surgeon General's report.

Those things will k*ll you.
- Ha.

What's so funny?

That you'll stand between
two moving cars but you're

afraid to smoke cigarettes.

It's a completely
different concept.

One is slow death.

The other is calculated
risk depending

entirely on one's own ability.

And I happen to have
a lot of ability.

So do you.

Yeah, well my ability tells
me that it's stupid to risk

your life for nothing.

Well, I think it's stupid to
waste your time being cautious

and taking care of
yourself when all it takes

is one idiot and one car to
plow the life right out of you.

Is that how your father d*ed?

Yeah.

How about yours?

It was an accident at work.

See, he risked his life
and he didn't even know it.

That's why I make
my own choices.

So that way, I guess,
if something happens,

it's your own fault, huh?

Exactly.

Maybe I'll die a tragic death
on some back road somewhere.

Maybe I'll get away with
breaking into a house.

Or maybe I'll spend the
next years in prison.

Either way, my fate
is in my hands.

That's freedom.

How many people do you know that
can honestly say they're free?

Sleeping?

No.

Can I come in?

Oh, jeez, this
place hasn't looked

this bad since I lived here.

Well, I don't have a
lot of energy lately.

You should have called me.

I would have come by--

You need something?

I was in the
neighborhood and wanted

to know how you're doing.

I'm fine.

I wish you guys would
stop asking me that.

What's with these pills?

I told you, my prescription.

It's been a long
time since you--

I only got a
couple of more, OK?

So you're going to finish
these and then that's it?

Yeah.

All right.

No -year-old little punk's
going to make a fool out of me.

Damn right.

If I were on the force,
I'd haul their butts

down to juvie so
fast their heads

would spin, even that girl.

They may think
they're above the law,

but they're not above me.

Maybe you shouldn't let
them get to you so much.

These kids, they've got nice
houses, they got nice cars.

They've gotten mommy and daddy
ready to buy them anything

else they could ever want.

And they're trying to make
me look like a jackass,

trying to get me fired.

Well, I'm tired of
taking their crap.

Me too.

The cops believed
us about last night.

I don't trust
the cops, either.

Some of these rich guys own more
badges than they do companies.

You know, if these kids
have everything they want,

why would they want to risk
it just to get us in trouble?

We're just toys to them, man.

We don't count.

As far as I'm concerned,
they don't count either.

Now let's go.

So what's he got against cops?

He tried a couple
of times, but he never

made it out of the academy.

He's just a little
sensitive, that's all.

He's a regular Mother Teresa.

What are we doing here?

It's your turn, Tommy.

We've all done it.

What is this?

Freedom.

RADIO COMMUNICATION:
Three baker, we've

got trespassers at Playland.

Vehicle near the
southwest fence.

Three baker responding.

Got a make?

RADIO COMMUNICATION: White
Volkswagen convertible.

Dispatch, this is six alpha.

We'll handle this.

RADIO COMMUNICATION:
All yours, six alpha.

[cheering]

These things make me sick.

That's OK, you
don't have to ride it.

All you gotta do is
kneel right here.

What?

You're going to play chicken.

Uh uh.

Told you he wouldn't do it.

Yes, he will.

Won't you, Tommy?

What are you trying to prove?

Nothing.

I'm challenging
you to feel life.

Well I don't accept.

Get off.

I'm staying right
here until you do it.

Get off.

Not until you say yes.

Coming around the last curve.

All right, all
right, I'll do it.

[cheering]

Your turn.

It's gotta go all the
way around this time,

so don't worry.
You got a few minutes.

If you don't do it, I will.

And who knows if I'll
make it off in time.

Kneel down.

Anyone can do it on their feet.

Very good.

Shouldn't we call the cops?

Shut up.

[inaudible] Then you
see it coming at you.

Then you just wait till your
heart come out of your mouth

or you pee in your pants.

Hey.

Good luck, Hastings.

Hey, what are you doing?

It's more fun this way.

You've got to trust us.

Give me the key, Quincy.

Relax.

I know when to let you go.

Halfway around.

Do you feel it yet?

Do you feel it yet?

Yes, I feel it.

[cheering]

Let it out, Tommy.

[cheering]

Hey, get out of there.

Unlock him.

No yet.

Get him off.

If he rolls the right,
he'll lose an arm.

[inaudible]

Unlock him now.

It's not funny.

You do it.

I hope they don't find it.

This is the last curve.

Come on!

Bring the key.

Bring the key.

I can't find it.

Hurry up!

[screaming]

[laughter]

Wrong key.

Night, boys.

You can come in if you want.

You're not mad, are you?

What do you think?

I think you liked it.

Think again.

You won't be able to
sleep tonight, you know.

I'll give it a try.

It's changed you.

Come on, you felt it.

That moment you risked
everything and felt

totally alive, totally free.

I don't call being
handcuffed to a roller

coaster track totally free.

I had to make sure
you'd stay on long enough.

And it was great, wasn't it?

You don't know
anything about freedom.

All you want to do
is control people.

Yo, fish.

Yo, fish, you there?

Answer me.

You going to die.

Dead fish ain't talking.

Payback.

Payback.

[inaudible] won't help you, man.

Got something for you.

Welcome back present.

[knocking]

Come on in.

I know what you're going to say.

First of all, I didn't
know about the cuffs.

And if I hadn't have
done it, she was gonna.

I thought you were dead.

I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

You play reckless
games with your lives.

You put other people in
life and death situations

and all you can say
is that you're sorry?

Harry, I told you I didn't--

Do you know what it's
like to really almost die?

There's nothing
exciting about it.

You lie there.

You think about your life.

You think about how much
you want to live it.

Harry.

You think it's cool to
watch your friends die?

Well it's not.

I've seen it happen.

I've seen my family die.

OK, man, take it easy.

Life is something to
protect, not to risk.

I know that.

She doesn't.

She thinks she's
going to live forever.

What are you, defending her?

No, she's wrong.

But she gets off on the risk.

And isn't that why people
become police officers?

What's with him?
- What's with you?

I'm going to quit.

Fine, quit.

But what if your
problem isn't your job?

What are you going to do then?

Hey, there's
going to be another

break-in tomorrow night.

I don't know where.

OK.

OK.

I thought you were
going to stop taking those

when the prescription ran out.

Doctor said I could keep
taking them if I felt pain.

Well, where's the
pain, right here or here?

What is that supposed to mean?

It means I think you've got
a problem with these pills.

Hey.

Maybe my problem is
with my partners.

OK?

OK.

[inaudible],, you
guys got your own car.

Congrats, you make a fine team.

Thank you.

I'm going to miss you girls.

You're late.

Alex and Ted are
meeting us there.

Where?

Just drive.

We'll walk from here.

Dispatch, this is six alpha
heading toward route .

RADIO COMMUNICATION:
Roger, six alpha.

We'll make the second
pass at the Fletcher house

while we're here.

RADIO COMMUNICATION:
Copy, six alpha.

I can't say I'm going to
miss driving around with dirty,

Split Second Harry, can you?

Forget it.

Looks like they picked
the wrong house tonight.

I'll call for backup.

The hell you will.

I like her.

She's pretty.

You pick one.

I don't like
this kind of stuff.

Is that a g*n I
see in your hand?

[g*n sh*t]

Freeze.

Hey, hey.

Just stay here, OK?

No way.

RADIO COMMUNICATION:

Five alpha responding

On our way.

Roger.

Six alpha may need help.

[music playing]

Ow!

Don't move.

Where are they?

Upstairs.

I don't know about the others.

I'll go up.
You stay downstairs.

Keep watch.

[music playing]

Freeze.

You're not going anywhere.

Who says?

You?

I said, stay there.

OK.

You got us, so just
put the g*n down.

You think I'm
going to trust you?

Think again, kid.

I'm a police officer.

Put down your w*apon.

I said don't move.

You won't use that on me.

I know how guys like you think.

Quincy.

You think you're
so big and strong

with your g*n and your uniform.

You're a joke.

Quincy.

You couldn't make
it as a real cop

and now you can't even
catch a bunch of dumb kids.

Heh, come on.

Come on.

sh**t me.

Quincy.

This is no car accident.

He's going to k*ll you.

And what's that going to prove?

Do it.

You don't have the guts, do you?

TOM HANSON: Quincy, don't.

[g*n sh*t]

I thought she had a g*n.

I think maybe you do too.

Drop it.

[g*n sh*t]

Oh my god.

I'll call an ambulance.

She's dead.

I'm sorry about putting
you guys through this stuff.

It wasn't your fault.

I tried to--

It's OK.

We know.

She thought she
was in control.

A lot of people
think that way.

I'll be right back.

Doug, I think
I have a problem.
