04x21 - Unfinished Business

[bunniefuu]

[music playing]

[applause]

Done showing off yet?

No, but I'm running
out of partners.

Look, Paula Abdul, we've
got an early class tomorrow.

See you next week?

Count on it, [inaudible].

[clanking]

(SHRIEKING) No, no.

No.

Oh, no. (SHRIEKING)

[gate clanging]

[THEME - HOLLY ROBINSON,
" JUMP STREET THEME"]

THEME SONG: We never thought
about 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.

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'll
need us 'cause

there's no one else to call.

And if it's hopeless, a
decision's what you need.

You better be ready
to, be ready to jump.

Jump Street.

[telephone rings]

Didn't you hear the phone?

I'm not in.

I said, I'm not in.

Well, OK.

I took the other messages
when you were not in also.

[telephone rings]

And : Rebecca called.

Please call back.

: , Rebecca called.

Please, please call back.

: , Rebecca called-- urgent.
o'clock.

- Is Hoffs in yet?
- Yeah.

She got in five minutes ago.

You want me to get her?

No.

So what's with
this Rebecca girl?

She talks kind of funny.

This latest
victim is in a coma.

The woman before that
at least would talk.

She's given up all
attempts to speak.

She won't even use sign.

Somehow you think
even the sickest mind--

Yeah.

Thing is, handicapped
and elderly women

are the most frequent
victims of abuse and r*pe.

Look, Judy, since you are the
most qualified female officer--

I'll do it.

You don't have to, you know.

I said, I can handle it.

Don't think I'm any less capable
because of what happened.

It wasn't that long ago, Ju.

This case could
stir up a lot of--

Captain-- I'm only going to
say this once, and then please,

let's just drop it.

I was r*ped.

I've dealt with it.

It no longer affects my
emotions or my reactions.

I'm fine.

All right.

Harry will be your back up.

Now we want to steer this
guy in your direction,

so you're going to have to be
in a wheelchair the whole time.

Finally, a chance
to sit and relax.

[grunting]

See?

It doesn't matter whether you're
standing, sitting, or lying

down, fighting is all the same.

[grunting]

There are many
different ways to defend

yourself against an att*ck.

I could use my
chair as a w*apon.

For instance, I
could stomp here.

I could use the corner
of my chair to knee.

[grunts] Want to
give this a try?

Try the brakes.

[phone rings]

Captain, that's
your line again.

Get it for me, will you?

Captain?

You want to run for
the hungry this Sunday?

Oh, yeah.

Good exercise, good cause.

It's a $ entry fee, $
if you want the t-shirt.

Tee shirt.

Man, Captain, this
is my first K.

I didn't know you
were a runner, Sal.

More of a waddler.

Yeah, well, at
least you're doing it.

Thanks, man.
See you.

- All right.
- That was Rebecca again.

Third time today.

This time she called from
a car in the parking lot,

said she was sick of waiting
for you to call back.

Captain Fuller!

Rebecca!

Um.

You're looking great.

How are you?

Determined.

Hi.

I'm Officer Rebecca Scanlon.

Officer, I'm Doug
Penhall from the phone.

Yes.

Rebecca used to work with me.

Unfortunately, not for long.

So, Rebecca, what
can I do for you?

I think you already know that.

Look, I do push ups
and sit ups a day.

I walk without my crutches.

I even run.

Not fast, but I still run.

At the range, I'm a sh**t.

Rebecca, no one
admires what you've

accomplished more than me.

But--

When I heard about this
case, I knew that I hadn't

gone through hell for nothing.

I can't give you
what you're asking.

Because we both
know that there's

no better bait than a
disabled woman, especially

one who's a damn good cop.

The answer is no.

Rebecca-- you've been
sitting at a word

processor for four years.

I can't take the
chance of adding

another victim to the list.

I can't believe that
you would assume that I'm

going to become a victim.

You wouldn't think
that about any other--

No, no, no, no.

I think that every time I
send any one of my officers

out there because--

because it can happen.

Because it does happen.

You owe me this one.

That's not fair.

Well it's not fair what
happened to me, either.

But you can help me by
giving me this chance.

I deserve it.

You sure you're up to it?

I haven't been more
ready in my whole life.

OK.

Case is yours.

Come on, Judy.

Let me give you a hand.

I mean, you know,
that's why they

put handles on the back of it.

I got to learn to
do this myself, OK?

What's my class
schedule, anyway?

Library research
methods, microeconomics--

boring stuff.

Yeah, well Gloria and
Lisa took those courses.

The attacker might be the
guy who sat next to them.

Oh, don't worry.

If he is, I'll get him.

We'll get him.

We're doing this together.

All right.

Look, Harry, it's bad
enough coming from Fuller.

Just treat me normal, OK?

You're right.

Hey, listen.

Will you return
this book for me?

I got the wrong volume
for history class.

Do it yourself.

What?

Well, you just told
me to treat you normal.

Starting tomorrow.

Be right back.

[music playing]

Captain, I don't
want to do this.

Doug, there's no
one else available.

It's a waste of time.

Listen, if I don't
give her real back up,

she'll know what's going on.

I can't take that chance.

Why don't you just
tell her the truth?

That she really
isn't on this case,

and you're just there
as a babysitter?

You don't know
Rebecca very well.

Well, thanks to
you, I will now.

Sure is great to
be back in the field.

I don't know--

it's fun to have a
kickback case now and then.

I've been sitting on
my ass for four years.

Then again, it's good to
move back into it slowly.

I've seen snails move faster.

Oh.

I'll get it.
I'll get it.

She can get it herself.

Thanks.

I was just going to say that.

Sorry.

So what can I do for you?

I need the fliers for
the tennis tourney.

Fliers?

Um-- I'm not sure.

Hey.

Come on.

They were supposed
to be out yesterday.

Hey, man.

She's new.

I think what you mean
is, she's disabled.

I didn't say that.

You didn't have to.

He's being a jerk to you.

Wait.

I mean, why should she
get special treatment?

Well, now, what's
your problem?

You've got something
against people like her?

You know, I've been working
with disabled students

for years.

And one thing I've
learned, they don't like

to be treated any differently.

I don't think he's
grasped that concept yet.

[sighs] I just work here.

I'll call you as soon
as I find the fliers.

Good.

Keith Taylor, over
in physical therapy.

You got it.

Nice pecs on that one.

[groans]

Hold it, will ya?

Sorry.

I didn't see you behind me.

God, I hate that door.

You're very pretty.

Thanks.

I'll see you later.

I certainly hope so.

[suspenseful music]

Hi.

Harry, where have you been?

Oh, give me a break.

Look at the weather.

I'm only a few minutes late.

Look, if I can't
depend on you,

I'll get Fuller to give
me someone else, OK?

[sighs]

[suspenseful music]

I want to be
notified the minute

there's any change in her
condition, whatever it is.

- Sure.
- OK?

I'll make sure the night
shift has your number.

All right.
Here's my card.

Hi.

I'm Officer Scanlon.

I'm here to check on
Gloria Chamberlain.

Are you with
the other officer?

What other officer?

The woman who just left?

No.

I'm on my own.

If you cross your other
arm over in front of you

and grab the armrest,
you can pull yourself

closer by a couple inches.

Thanks.

Tricks of the trade.

You pick them up along the way.

Well, you don't really
look like you need tricks.

You know, I'm in
charge of the equipment

at the physical therapy center.

They organize events
for disabled students.

Keith Taylor.
You must be new here.

Judy Hamilton.

Yes, I am.

If you're eating alone, I can
tell you all about the services

the PT center offers.

I'd like that.

Great.

Hey, you play tennis?

We've got a tourney
coming up next week.

You're joking, right?

A few lessons and you
could have a k*ller backhand.

Um.

That guy over there in the
wheelchair-- do you know him?

Yeah.

It's Burke something.

Keeps to himself.

Seems nice enough, though.

I should be out
there, walking around,

trying to drag this guy out.

Well, forget it.

It's not your job.

Then just what
the hell is my job?

Because sitting here
day after day sure

isn't solving this case.

Penhall, will you please
tell me what's going on?

I feel all alone.

You know, I don't exactly
like this job either.

I didn't become a cop just
so I could be some painter.

I think we're making
a lot of progress.

You want some coffee?

You want to drink
it for me, too?

Geez.

I hate these things.

You never notice them
until you're in the car.

What's it for?

Dance tonight at
the student union.

[grunts] What are
you waiting for?

I'm making sure you get in OK.

[engine revs]

[suspenseful music]

You're kind of early.

I've been here all night.

All night?

I didn't want to
go to my apartment

because I was afraid I
would calm down and start

to see your side of things.

My side of what things?

I wanted to hang
on to this, this--

I didn't want any logic or
understanding to dilute it.

Well, get to the
point, Scanlon.

The point is, I may walk
funny, and I made talk funny,

but I am not stupid.

I saw Officer Hoffs on
campus in a wheelchair.

My reason for assigning
Hoffs to this case

is none of your
concern, Scanlon.

When someone I've
trusted betrays me,

you better believe
it's my concern.

I'm simply doubling
up so we can get

this guy as quick as possible.

Bull.

You've been patronizing me.

I wanted you out
of the line of fire.

Same thing.

Look, Rebecca, I don't have
to justify my actions to you.

And you've got the assignment
that you asked for.

If you don't like the conditions
that go with it, you can quit.

Big choice-- placebo
cop or nothing.

It's your call.

[suspenseful music]

I have to go up in the office.

Penhall is waiting.

[dance music]

I think I've never
had blisters on my hands

as big in my life.

Or biceps.

Some pay off, being stuck
in this chair hours a day.

Relax.

It's only temporary.

That's easy for
you to say, Penhall.

You know, if this
guy comes after me,

I can get out of this
chair in two seconds.

A lot can happen in two seconds.

Hey, remember me?

- The one who is always late?
- Once.

I was late once.

Hey, take it easy.

At least you guys are
earning your paycheck.

I forgot what that feels like.

It's getting kind of late.

I've got to take [inaudible]
baby sitter home.

You want to split?

No, not yet.

I think this guy over at
the bar is checking me out.

Well, in or out of a
chair, you're still a looker.

That's comforting.

I think we better
get out of the way.

Don't go far.

What the hell do you
think you're doing?

Having fun.

Alone?

My friend, [inaudible].

If Fuller knew you were doing
this, he'd have a coronary.

He won't know.

What makes you think
I won't tell him?

Because it's off hours, chump.

Get lost.

Now, what's with this?

What do you do to [inaudible],,
you wear a back brace?

Hey, buddy.

Hey.

He can yell at me if he wants.

All right.

I'm putting an end
to this right now.

You're coming with me.

Don't save her place.

[sighs] I'm very--

Don't say you're sorry.

What do you want me to say?

What you really think.

I think you're
a pain in the ass.

Is that what you want to hear?

It's a start.

[chuckles] You're nuts.

You're really nuts, you know?

I know that.

So, um-- how come you never
asked me how I became disabled?

I figured it was
none of my business.

Sure.

You see someone like me,
and your first thought

is, ah, poor, helpless
person, followed

by your second thought,
which is usually hmm--

wonder what's wrong with her.

OK.

What happened?

I was sh*t.

Similar to Jim Brady,
Reagan's press secretary.

Remember?

What's the tie in with Fuller?

He put me on that case.

He never mentioned that.

You know, I thought
Fuller understood

that I needed to see one case
through from the beginning

to the end.

He does.

He just has a responsibility
to his officers.

He can't be responsible
for what he doesn't know.

Look.

I can understand Hoffs
solving the case as long as I

know that I was out
there doing everything

an able bodied cop would.

I've got a lot of
self-respect riding on this.

I can't very well pretend that
I don't know what you're doing.

Tell Fuller and you
give away my last chance.

Why don't you help me?
Be my backup.

Doug, please.

Let me do this.

Life with a disability
is bearable.

Life with no dignity isn't.

You're going to have
to get rid of these.

They make me look
more vulnerable

like the chair does for Hoffs.

Hoffs can get out of
the chair in a second.

I know how to use
these as weapons.

They might get in my way.

Your way?

Yes.

Fine.

No crutches.

Main thing is,
you didn't quit.

Guess not.

Hey, man, for your first
race, minutes is no disgrace.

Yeah.
I guess so.

[knocking]

Yeah, come in.

What's bothering me,
Captain, is I didn't have fun.

Sure, I expected to hurt.

I expected to be slow.

I expected to have fun.

Expectations-- it'll
blow you away every time.

You wanted to see me?

Yeah.

Have a seat.

Listen.
I'm a little concerned.

There's been no
takers on this one.

Well, I'm out there, Captain.

Yeah, I know, but--

in crowds, in the daylight.

Listen.

You're going to have
to start staying late.

Appear to be by yourself
as much as possible.

OK.

Ioki's always there.

Yeah.

Uh, by the way, Scanlon
knows you're on the case.

How does she feel about that?

Lousy.

I guess that makes two of us.

Thanks.

It's nice Day Glo.

It's for a swim meet.

Want to sign up?

I haven't got a
lot of free time.

I think it's a
good idea to help you

burn off all that extra energy.

Thanks anyway.

Oh, I understand.

You are just
self-conscious about being

seen in a bathing suit.

Hey.

I don't look bad in one.

Plus, I'm a damn good swimmer.

Well, then you'd be a hell
of a role model for the others.

Huh.

Maybe I would.

[suspenseful music]

[sighs]

[music playing]

Let's call it a night.
I gotta go.

OK.

See you tomorrow.

Oh, no.

You're coming with me.

Why?

Hey, hey, hey.

I quit, you quit.

We're partners, remember?

OK.

Let's go.

[background chatter]

Uh.

My-- my-- kid's at
the babysitters,

which happens to be on the
way to your place, so--

I don't mind.

[engine revs]

I got a friend of mine
I want you to meet, OK?

All right.

Climb on up there, you
little four footer.

Watch yourself.

This is my friend.
- Hi.

My name's Rebecca.

Hi.

I'm hungry.

Hungry?

Didn't Debbie feed you?

Yes.

[speaking spanish]
- No way, man.

It's too late.

Ice cream sounds good to me.

You speak Spanish?

Amazing, isn't it?

[background chatter]

OK.

Put that in there.

There you go.

Now, make it poco
bites, [spanish]

because if you're too--

mas rapido then you'll
get a frio on your--

How do say a brain freeze?

[speaking spanish]

Yeah.

So?

[speaking spanish]

I didn't think it was humanly
possible to take the joy out

of eating ice cream.

Well, I can't let
him eat it too fast.

Don't you think he would
gladly suffer brain

freezes to finish that himself?

Can't let him do
something that'll hurt him.

So that leaves out
bikes and roller skates.

That's not what I meant.

Protecting him is only
making you feel better.

It's not helping him at all.

Uh.

Are you OK?

No, I'm not OK.

My bladder is about to
explode, and I can't get

my damn chair through the door.

Do you want some
help or something?

Would you?

Please?

If you could just
help me to the seat.

Never mind.

Never mind.

Are you sure?

Are you with
the girl in there?

I certainly hope so.

[suspenseful music]

What the hell are you doing?

Waiting for you.

Get out of my way.

Come on.

I just want to talk.

I said, get out of my way.

Are you crazy?

Judy.

What are you doing?

Captain?

Hi.

I'm Rebecca.

Hi.

I saw you at the hospital.

I know.

So did the captain call you in?

I feel so stupid.

I mean-- I mean, the
guy was in a wheelchair.

What could he have
possibly done to me?

Plenty if he wanted to.

But he didn't.

It was just his perverted
way of getting my attention.

Hey, there are a lot
of handicapped jerks.

Just because you're disabled
doesn't mean you're a saint,

you know?

Hear, hear.

It's yours, Scanlon.

Sure?

I'm sending you in, Scanlon.

For real this time.

Are you sure?

Penhall, I'm not calling
off this investigation

because Hoffs panicked.

Scanlon is the only
woman available.

Just be careful, guys.

That's it.

You stay.

- What happened?
- You said it yourself.

I panicked.

What do you want me to say?

I'm human.

It won't happen again.

I think.

I-- I don't know.

I'm so confused.

I thought it was over, but--

it snuck up on me.

What did?

This-- this feeling.

I've been scared
before, but never,

never have I felt to the core
of my being the fear I do now.

Every time something
happens to one of my officers,

I drink a little more.

I sleep a little less.

I know a little something
about fear, too.

Leaving us?

I just wasn't meant
to be a desk jockey.

Well, good for you.

I hope that means you'll
join in some of our events.

I might.

There's always lots of fans.

Plus, of course, the
usual curiosity seekers.

Gimp gawkers.

Hey.

You got her talked
into swimming yet?

I don't know.

Do I?

Well, she won't be satisfied
'till she wins every medal.

That's exactly the kind
of role model we need.

Well then, that's exactly the
kind of role model you'll get.

Hi Gloria.

I'm Detective Hoffs.

You're going to be OK.

I'm the stubborn type.

Still pretty hazy.

I know.

It'll come.

It'll come.

[music playing]

Hey.

How much longer you
think you're going to be?

I've only done a half a mile.

Well, a half mile is enough.

I've got to do a mile.

[inaudible] not a half.

Hey, look.

I've been thinking.

Keith said something
about people coming

out here to stare at gimps.

I think our guy
might be one of them.

I don't follow.

The night Gloria was
att*cked, she had been dancing,

the center of attention--

same with Lisa.

She was in a music performance.

I'm figuring, if I win this one,
I might attract his attention.

Or you could scare him off.

No.

I think active, disabled women
trigger something in him.

That's really sick.

Yeah.

Well, I've met a lot
of different people

since I've been sh*t.

Some are really wonderful,
sympathetic, caring.

Others act like I have
no right to be alive.

I'm going to be another
hour, so don't wait for me.

I'm not going to
leave you alone.

[inaudible] And I'll call
security to walk me to my car.

If I find out
that you didn't--

Don't worry.

I'm not going to
do anything silly.

I know.
You're not.

Promise.

Night, Doug.

Oh, listen.

How did it go with
Scanlon today?

OK.

She is a good cop.

You did the right thing.

Yeah, well.

I hope so.

See you tomorrow.

Night, ladies.

Night.

Had enough?

Nope.

But I got to thank you for this.

Hey-- a day's work.

Unfortunately, I do
have to lock up now.

You don't think you can
find some extra chores

to buy me a few extra laps?

Maybe I can drum something up.

OK.

How's it going, Doug?

Slow.

Although Scanlon may
be onto something.

She thinks the guy
we're looking for needs

to destroy disabled women
who are b*ating the odds.

Hey, so does Gloria.

Hey, Keith.

I'm right, huh?

[suspenseful music]

It's been tough for Gloria
because it happened so fast she

never got a good look at him.

Did you show her mugshots?

Oh, hundreds of them.

And then suddenly she
remembered what he said.

When the att*ck was over, he
said she wouldn't be much use

as a role model anymore.

[suspenseful music]

Role model?

Come on.

[screaming] Let go!

[tense music]

Freeze.

Police.

[footsteps running]

Hold it right there.

[background chatter]

Bet a couple of
weeks ago, you would

have looked the other way.

A couple of weeks
ago, I probably

wouldn't even have noticed him.
- Hi.

What'll it be?

Uh.

I'll have a piece of lemon
meringue and tea please.

Lemon meringue and coffee.

What would she like?

I don't know.

Why don't you ask her?

(OVER-EMPHATICALLY) What
would you like to eat?

(SLOWLY) [speaking french]

What?

Oh, don't you speak French?

No.

[speaking spanish]

Don't speak Spanish either?

No.

I'd like lemon pie and coffee.

Coffee.

Coffee.

[music playing]

[laughing]

[theme music]
