1389, 1389, John, X -Ray, Paul, 8839, no
water warmth, roger.

Trenum 88, see the woman, a 4155, 2701,
Wilder.

Hey,

what's up?

Yeah, what you been doing?

Yeah.

Hey, Lee, what you been doing?

Hello. My, but aren't we looking
healthy?

Hey, TJ.

Hey, good. What's going on?

Well, you got it. You know you're
looking good today, blood.

Yeah, that's because I'm a fox child,
just like you.

Now, come here. I was looking for you
last night. What happened?

Oh, child, are you ready for this? I had
to study. My mama is giving me a fit.

Yeah, she must have been talking to
mine.

I don't know. Now, I've been hearing
some very exciting news about you. Oh,

yeah? Uh -huh. What's this?

Why, you got some good duck.

Oh, yeah.

I hate you. Listen,

TJ, now you know I keep the best money
from back. Mm -hmm, sure.

I'm telling you, it's the best.

But I ain't giving you that.

Oh, come on, baby.

Come on.

Yeah. All right, I'll tell you what I'll
do. What you gonna do? I will sell you

one for a couple bucks.

A couple of bucks? A couple of bucks.

God, you lost your mind.

I can get some good weed for 50 cents.
Go ahead. Push off, Charlie. Hey, hey,

hey, PJ. I am not talking about weed. Uh
-uh.

I got... Got some angel dust? Right
here.

Tell you what.

Why don't we just share one?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. No, no, no. No,
no. Just be cool. You can, uh... Yeah,

you like it.

Be cool, Mary.

I cannot afford to get kicked out of
another high school.

Kicked out? Yeah.

Now, if my counselor finds out. How is
he going to find out? You think I'm

to tell it?

What is wrong with you here? Take some.

Don't talk too much.

DJ, you'll hurt yourself.

DJ!

Oh, please.

Walt, I didn't have any choice.

I had to simulate in order to get out of
there. And let me tell you something.

For a minute there, I didn't know what
those uniformed guys were going to do. T

.J., the way you played it, you're lucky
those guys didn't dump you right out

the door. Well, what do you want? After
almost six months in high school, it's a

little hard to act like a grown -up
again.

What went wrong down there? Who made
you? I don't know. Now, it must have

happened last night.

I worked a hitchhiker. Then it looked
like there was somebody following me.

And you didn't lose him?

Well, that's just the thing. I thought I
did.

You know, if a guy sees you go to your
house, I mean, the ball game's over

now. Well, I keep telling you we need
cover houses. And I keep telling you

the budget. Well, damn it!

I'm sorry.

It's all right.

T .J., we'll get you reassigned to a new
school right after roundup.

And for the next couple of weeks, you'll
be recruiting.

Recruiting? Yeah.

Recruiting. boss you know how close i
was not to just another kid selling dope

to his buddies but to nailing a
distributor what do you want to do go

washington avenue high and have those
guys finish you off well there's got to

something tj listen to me i know you
want to nail a distributor that's fine

there's an awful lot of them out there
pushing poison into kids and not near

enough operators to get them you know
the kind of cops we need in this job

them

help you out. That's all, buddy.

Thanks so much.

Hey, you guys mind if I sit down?

There are plenty of other tables, pal.

No, that's just what I expected. Fine
young patrolman, you say.

It's nice to be so well thought of,
isn't it? It certainly is.

What division are you working in?

Hey, look, I'm one of us guys.

Honest.

T .J. Epps, juvenile narcotics.

I feel stanky. How are you? Okay, how
much time?

Dan Shea.

We both work at Southwest.

Been working there long?

Been on probation about three months.

You've been out of high school... What?
How long?

What is this? Look, it's an important
question.

Oh, I don't know, about five years.

You grew up here? In the city?

No, up north.

You let your hair grow?

Mush yourself up a bit.

I think you can do a good job in my
unit.

Narcotics?

I'm a patrolman. Yeah, who'd do great
going back to high school as one of us.

If my boss buys you.

And how's your friend, Dr. Rowe?

Yep. You're in your fourth month and
everything's fine. See you in four

right? Wrong.

You know, Dr. Rowe's never says yep. And
I'm supposed to be sure and take my

calcium tablets and everything's fine.

Oh, Dan, I'm looking forward to this
baby so much, aren't you?

I sure am.

Hey, I got an offer to work undercover
narcotics.

Narcotics? What do you know about
narcotics? Not very much, but they said

teach me.

It's just I'm not really sure if I want
to do it or not.

Dangerous? No, it's high school, but
it'll look great in my jacket. Could

an early promotion.

And this is the famous Bat King.

So named because it's so bright and
cheery.

I thought you investigators took things
more seriously than us guys on patrol.

I take my job very seriously, Shay.

But I also know that the unit is a
stepchild, an experiment.

Now, Adnock gets all the federal money.
We've got to get whatever we can

scrounge through the department.

Which means that if you join us, you're
going to have to keep your own threads.

I'd like you to join.

Well, sir, I... Shay, I've gone over the
records and files of at least a dozen

men that T .J. has interviewed.

And after going over their records, I...

I think you'd be a good one.

Well, I appreciate that, sir, but quite
frankly, I'm not sure.

Why don't you sit down, shit?

Tell me something.

Have you ever taken any uppers?

No, sir.

How about downers?

No. Have you ever dropped any acid or
smoked PCP?

Or maybe you've heard of it by one of
its other names.

Angel dust, crystal.

No, sir, I haven't.

You smoke grass, right?

Yeah, I tried it a couple of times, but
it didn't do much for me.

No, you have tried it.

Shea, over 50 % of the high school kids
in this city do more than just try it.

They are on some kind of drug regularly.

I mean, they are burning out their lives
before they even get started.

They're forsaking everything but just a
little high.

And what we'd like to do, what we want
to do, is give them back the futures

they are destroying.

And we want you to help.

Okay, I'm in.

Now, the best cover is to use your own
first name. You're used to answering to

it. We'll need to get you a new last
name. Something familiar is best.

A lot of guys use their wife's maiden
name.

Shapiro? Try your mother's maiden name,
huh? We'll get you some new ID in the

phony names.

Now, that's the only thing you carry on
the job. Nothing else real. Now, you're

going to see why.

There's nothing these kids like better
than looking through your wallet or your

car. Now, you guys better check with me
if you decide to get any haircuts.

Important. Well, what's the department
that made me get a cut this way?

Well, then consider this gig sweet
revenge.

Now, let's say you've been at your
school for a couple of days.

What have you been doing?

Well, at first I've been burning oregano
in my car, right, for atmosphere, so

now I'm sucking out the cliques, the
servers, the jocks, the Aggies. It's the

stoners we've got to hang out with, man.
That's what we're after. Yeah, right.

Only you can't go to them, man.

You've got to be so much like them that
they come to you. And you don't offer to

buy, not at first.

You wait until they offer to sell.

Okay, what happens after that?

Let's say I make a buy and the guy I'm
with expects me to get high with him.

What do I do then? You remember official
policy.

You never take and he don't.

We lose credibility if you get it to
court and the witness says he saw so

-so in Ark Stone.

Okay, what does a coke go for on the
street? Say one line, shake.

Five dollars a line. Where's the can?

It's an ounce of marijuana, 28 .4 grams.

Now, what's a Sherman? What does it sell
for?

Sherman cigarette dipped in liquid PCP
goes for about 20 bucks.

How does PCP come? How's it used? What's
the prices?

PCP is smoked, eaten, snorted, and
injected.

Most common, of course, is smoked.

It comes in a white powder or a clear
liquid on mint leaves or on marijuana.

It's sold in joints for $1 .50 to $2.

Grams, $10.

Ounces, $175.

I'm ready to go to work.

When do you start?

Middle of next week.

It'll be okay.

I'll be home most nights.

Don't worry about that, Dan.

I'm worried about you.

I'll be fine. I promise I'll fit right
in.

You're really looking forward to this,
aren't you?

After what I've seen, yeah, I guess I
am.

How fast you had her up to?

Oh, I don't know, about 105, I guess.

Would have done faster, but the cops got
me, you know?

Yeah, I read those police pursuit
engines are tough.

Too bad they won't sell them to anyone
who could cop.

I guess they know what we do with them,
right?

Wow.

I'm Dan Coleman.

Eddie Markovici. How you doing, man?

You're new here, huh?

You registered yet?

No, I'm just about to go over and do
that, y 'all.

Oh, man, I hope I do better in Hillson
than I did in my last school. What

happened? Did you get the shaft?

No. Max, man.

I got caught with some grass, you know?

Call my old man.

You know, that whole bug thing.

I just got my car back today.

Yeah, I know how it is.

My folks took my bug away for a couple
of weeks last month. Yeah?

Listen, the office is right here.

I gotta get to work.

Alright. See you, man.

Miss Lehman will be your counselor,
Paul.

So you take it easy.

We'll all be fine, huh? Yes, sir.

Daniel Coleman.

Yo.

Come on in.

Make yourself comfortable.

Well, you look like one of my students.
I'll say that for you.

I like to talk to new arrivals whenever
I can to make sure they realize...

The reason why they're here is to learn.

But that's not quite the reason you're
here, is it?

I don't know what you mean.

Daniel Coleman.

That's the name I was given for
Hillside's operator.

Is that the word for it?

I'm the only one here who knows.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know whether you did or not.

Some principals do, others...
Investigator Abrams and I have had

discussions. about this whole operation.

You sound like you don't approve.

The board approves.

And I've got to go along with it.

Mr. Merrill, on my way into this office
this morning, I saw a dope deal go down

right out in the open.

Look, Mr. Coleman, I am not denying that
we have a drug problem here. Every

school has.

But I'm not sure this is how to handle
it. If there was another way, don't you

think we'd use it? The fact that we've
got to do it this way shows how bad the

problem really is.

Look, I can't help thinking something's
wrong.

When the way to do this is to put
policemen in classrooms, spying on

teaching them distrust, teaching them
betrayal. Those children are being used

adults. And those are the ones we're
after, the adults that are selling to

kids. And you want to pick up a lot of
students to get to those adults, right?

That's right, if we have to, yes.

These kids are outlaws, but they're
accepted by all the others. And we're

to change that by making things tough on
them.

I want to help this situation, Coleman.

And as long as I think I can do that...

Hey, it's all I can ask.

You better get to your consulate.

His name is Zagorin.

You take PZ, and we'll all be fine.

Controls device.

And we've got to hurry up, too. Mr.
Ferris is going to knock you out.

Coleman, can you help us out on this?

Coleman?

Yeah, sir.

This is only auto shop, but I'd still
like you to listen to it.

It's still interesting over there, isn't
it?

Al? You working on that car or not?

Hey, Mr. Russell.

My best.

Are you all right?

Sorry, Mr. Esselstyn. I must have
slipped down some grease.

You were lucky.

You know what will happen to you the
next time I catch you.

COVID?

Whenever I find out, this was no
accident.

All right, back to work. Come on, back
to work.

What the fuck, man? What else is in
there?

Sure smells like someone's been toking
up in here.

I knew we'd end up being friends, man.
What the hell do you think you're doing,

friend? Hey, man.

Hey, wow, man.

Hey, what can I say, huh?

Uh, uh, study hall, man. Uh, Marcovici.
The guy couldn't shut up about your

machine. We were just, uh, checking it
out.

Yeah, well, most people check it out
under the hood.

Okay, man.

We're checking you out. Out?

Hey, all right.

Look, man, we just wanted to figure out
whether you are a narc or not. I mean,

look, it's all over about cops being put
in schools.

Why not here, huh?

Oh, yeah, man, I'm a narc.

If there's one here, man, it's probably
you, and I'm the one who's going to get

busted. You've got to be crazy.

How you doing?

How'd you make out on the counter?

Oh, a guy named, uh, Zagorin, you know
him?

Oh, Zag? You got nothing to worry about.

He's as easy as half the girls in this
school.

Yeah? Quick, man, which half?

That's my problem, not the half I know.

Hey, Eddie!

Hi,

Barbie. Um, Miss Maddie, you don't like
music?

It's my favorite record you just read.

Um, sorry, uh... Yeah, well, what...

I wanted to meet your friend, that's
why.

Sure, right.

Yeah, I gotta go to the head.

Can you change the record if I don't get
back in time? No, just let the label

play. What do you think?

I don't think I'd be giving anything
away if I said he liked you.

Eddie's okay for a brain. A brain? Is
that what he is, a brain? Well, who else

would take a book to the head, huh?

Hey, don't enjoy yourself too much. My
boyfriend's liable to get jealous, you

know? Oh, yeah.

Well, uh, which one of those guys is
your boyfriend?

Oh, that one right there. Why?

Well, he's apologizing. He sent me over
to say that he's sorry, but he thought

he was trying to get you in trouble or
something.

Yeah, well, why doesn't he come over
here?

I guess he thought I might like you
better than Cliff.

That's right.

Hey, I knew we'd end up friends.

Yeah, well, so long as Barbie's
including the deal, you know.

Hey, Barbie!

You sure know how to make friends fast.

Keep it up, Rich. Just keep it up.

Hey, lovers, no fighting in school now.
But we're not fighting.

Hey, for us, this is having a good time.

Rich, why don't you stop sitting there
thinking you look like Rod Stewart and

come help me pick out some records
before lunch is over?

You know, that's what I like.

Your favorite lemon cake for your first
day of school.

Oh, how special.

Let's see.

Make a wish and blow them out.

Twelve candles?

What is this?

You said you were a twelfth grader,
right? For the duration?

Oh, make a wish and blow them out.

Hey!

Huh? That's romance and good cheer.
Let's see.

Okay, well, spreadsheet candles.

Let's see.

How big a piece do you get?

This is debatable.

Dr. Rose only wants me to gain around 20
pounds.

Well, you haven't gained that much yet,
so... Hold on.

I may not look like I've gained much to
you, but when I look in the mirror, I

see more Sharon Shea than I ever saw
before.

Oh, sweetheart, come here. You look
terrific.

Absolutely terrific.

Terrific enough, in fact.

To give me a hickey.

A hickey.

You've got to be kidding.

I haven't given anybody a hickey
since... Since 12th grade?

Mm -hmm.

You can impress those girls, huh?

Oh, come on. I got your number.

Oh, yeah.

I've seen the girls at the high school
by my office.

We didn't look like that when we were in
high school. Sweetheart, I promise,

this is the even way.

It proved that I have another girlfriend
at another school, right?

Right?

Wrestling. I'm lucky even to see the
mat. I am wasted.

Had a good time last night, huh, man?

Oh, hey, is there any other kind you
know when your folks ain't home? Oh.

All right, let's get moving.

I want to see you work on those tape
downs.

You can choose your own part.

Let's do it.

Hey, you leave.

You sure? Yeah.

Hey,

you and me. Come on. I want to see you
practice those takedowns.

You know wrestling's not a beach.

Can't do that. I'm a king of my weight
division.

Should have told me.

Winner and still champion, wasted or
not.

Hey, all right, who's next? Come on.

Hey, Colby.

Colby, how about you? Let's go. Come on.

Watch me dance, pal.

You got some nice moves.

Am I going to see you out for the team?

With two guys like you and Rich, we
might do something.

Man, I'd really like to, but I can't.
I've got to work every day after school

this hamburger place near where I used
to live.

Sure you've got to? You need the money?
If I didn't, I wouldn't be working.

Sorry.

You almost beat Ron.

All it takes is a little confidence. A
little coordination doesn't hurt either.

Do you really have to go to work?

Guy's got a husband.

I just didn't want to run around in
ballet slippers and tights, you know?

Well, I'll meet you at your locker then.
After school?

Well, you wouldn't want to miss
something sensational.

See, what did I tell you?

Cheerleading trials have been going on
all week. These are finals.

You mean to tell me you've been down
here all week rooting?

Well, originally I came out to see
Barbie. She got eliminated the first

kept making up her own cheers, only none
of them were repeatable.

Hey, look out, man. Look out.

Eddie, you okay?

Eddie, you all right? Did I hurt you?
Oh, no.

No, no.

Getting run down by you is a pleasure.

Eddie, you're out of sight.

Well, I try.

Hey, you know my friend Dan, don't you?

Yeah, sure.

Well, good luck today. You'll make it.
You'll see. Look out.

It's the champ.

Should have seen this guy today wipe me
all over the map. I need something to

help me.

I can't keep up.

Well, we'll talk about it. I'll get you
revved up.

She loves you, Dan.

She really does.

I just don't understand.

I mean, what did I ever do to her?

Oh, she doesn't know you like I do.

Eddie, you don't know me at all, man.

Well, I know you don't put me down.

You don't ignore me.

I know you're a good guy.

It's not easy, is it, man?

Going to school, having to do all the
things you're supposed to do.

Well, it's something to think.

Just because you can do the work, it is
easy.

That's why I think it's the hardest.

I have this dream every night.

I gotta go to English class.

For a test.

I can't find the room.

No matter what I do.

You know, I used to have a dream like
that.

Back at, uh... Back at my old school.

What made it stop, Dan?

Could you tell me?

Does it... Does the dope help?

No. No, it's not the dope, Eddie.

And here comes Jill.

I just got you what you wanted. I just
want... Oh, no.

I just want you to have energy.

I just want to go crazy.

I saw you practice.

You didn't need anything.

When was the last time you burned high?

Jill, damn it, listen to me.

Can you just calm down and relax? Can
you calm down and relax?

Okay, I know, I know.

Okay, we're going to do it together.

I want you to take, I want you to take a
deep breath. Good.

Okay, good.

Now I want you to try to take another
deep breath, okay?

One more. Just one more deep breath.

Good.

Okay. Whatever you do, you

just make sure you keep her relaxed.

Yeah, we got to make sure she stays
cool.

For

a

while there today, it was just like
being back on the

state champion wrestling team.

You know, sometimes I think everybody
should go back to high school.

But then I think nobody should have to
go through that even once, especially

now.

All right.

Tonight, all I'll talk about are the
three of us, okay? How's that?

You're going to be the star of the
Lamaze class, you know, if we get there

time.

Uh -oh. We got trouble.

What? Whatever I say, just go along.
Just whatever I say.

Danny!

I didn't recognize you.

What are you doing here?

Oh, hey, Barbie. What are you doing
here?

Well, the jean store is half of the
sale, so Reed and I figured we'd take a

drive.

Um... Oh, uh, Barbie, this is my older
sister, Sharon. And, uh, Sharon, this is

Barbie. We go to school together.

Hi.

Um, excuse me, Sharon.

Hey, look.

Our old man just split.

She's all alone.

My parents... I didn't know you had a
doctor.

Yeah, well, you see, there are a lot of
things about me you don't know, huh?

Oh, we're just going to have to change
on that, okay?

See you soon, Danny. Okay.

Danny, I think I called them high school
girls.

Those are women, aren't they?

Sure, it's nothing.

Look, come on, we're going to have to
keep walking.

window shopping or something. Dan.

Look, Cher, I'm sorry. I promise we
won't miss next week, okay?

Cher, do you have any idea what would
happen to me if they saw me go in there

with you?

No, but it happened.

God, Dan.

What's this job doing to you?

What do you think?

Got a better one in my car.

have your car. I just have that dinky
little Japanese thing my parents gave

You know, it only has an AM radio.

Look, as long as you want dust, man,
it's worth maybe only 15 joints to me.

Ron, hurry up. The bell's gonna ring.

Don't make all too many fun with the
man.

25.

20 installed.

You got a deal.

All right.

Tomorrow, right before study hall. Meet
you in the head. Later.

Just registered the same day.

That's cute.

Look, bell's about to ring. Come on,
let's get to class. See you later,

Later.

Later.

Later.

Hey, what class are you late for?

All right, how about you?

Oh, I'm not just doing anything.

I'm just running an errand for Miss
Coster.

Seems she's all out of attendance slips,
and you just can't have that, can you?

Yeah, I could with no problem, as a
matter of fact.

Oh.

Hey, how about that, huh? You're
actually talking to me. I didn't think

possible.

I guess I owe you an apology, huh?

I've been pretty bratty.

It's okay.

You were uptight about that whole thing
with the cheerleading.

At least that's over.

Dan.

I don't remember what I said to you out
there on the field.

But I do remember what you did for me.

Thank you for being so nice.

I wanted to help you.

I just didn't think a guy like you could
understand.

A guy like me?

Oh, you mean because I'm a star?

You're the one who took the pills.

Everybody needs something sometimes.

Yeah, that means sometimes everyone's a
stoner, right?

Are you going to be in on that business
tomorrow with Ron and his buddies?

What business?

Well, didn't they tell you?

You must have heard about the narc maybe
being here.

Yeah. Ron told Rich this morning that he
figured out who it was.

Is he sure?

I guess so.

He told Ron they were going to take care
of him tomorrow.

Take care of him?

That's what Rich said.

Everybody knows the police shouldn't be
here.

But what Ron's talking about...
Sometimes I don't know who's crazier,

stoners or the narc.

Seems to me what I need is a gun, not a
bug.

Well, you know the rules.

There's no guns on this job.

Yeah, well, if my cover's blown off...
Yeah, if your cover's blown and they

happen to get your gun, so are you.

You can't think of anything you did that
put them on your trail.

Well, as you said, I'm not sure.

A couple of the girls done it with my
wife the other night, but I thought I

it covered.

There you are. You're all set.

All right.

Testing. One, two, three.

Now!

You won't have to yell.

The minute we hear anything that sounds
like trouble, we'll be there.

Yeah, we'll bust in like the cavalry.

Even got insurance, so everybody knows
that we're the good guys.

Don't worry.

Don't worry?

I would think of it.

Yo, Ron, Al, hey, Tim, man, we'll see
you later.

Why isn't cheating with Ron today?

What? Barbie. Why isn't she with Ron?

He's probably got something on his mind,
you know?

Go on, Eddie, go ahead.

Go ahead what?

Just go over there. Say hello.

Talk to her. Talk to her about English.
Talk to her about music. Talk to her

about anything.

No, Dan, I can't.

I look at her and I look at me and I
stick to daydreaming. It's a lot safer.

Come on.

Nobody ever got anywhere playing it
safe. Come on.

My dreams will unfold.

Hey, you got room for two more?

Sure. How are you two doing?

Oh, uh, we're hanging in there, Eddie.

Be very careful of Barbie today. She's
being so quiet, it's scary.

I already heard that joke today, Rich.

You'll be okay once your hero does his
thing.

Shut up, Rich.

I think it's great, I really do.

After all, it makes the world a safer
place for all of us.

Be okay.

Sure, Ron will be okay.

Ron's always okay.

But that doesn't keep him from being an
idiot.

Yes, I talked to the boy's mother. She's
on her way.

Thank you.

Well, that was the emergency room.

Conway's in serious condition.

A couple of broken ribs to start with.
What do you think, man?

Weapons, man. You guys really did a job.

How the hell could you do something like
this? Look, he was a north man. He

deserved it.

Nobody deserves it.

Paul Conway's a student here.

That was his mother I talked to before,
not his lieutenant or whatever.

Could have been a cop, man. They're
putting cops everywhere these days.

Which is the only reason I haven't
called the police about you, because I

know who's responsible for what happened
around here.

Either you lunatics or maybe the police
department itself.

What can they expect when they're so
busy creating a climate of fear?

You can't touch me, man.

You are going to be searched. No way.
It's illegal.

You ain't a cop and you don't have a
warrant.

Not even he can do anything.

You think because I'm an administrator
that I'm going to go easy on you, is

it?

I'm going to meet with the parents of
all of you.

Until then, you're all suspended.

I want you out of here.

Now!

Oh, Barbie's going to kill me. She said
I was nuts. Barbie, man, what about your

old man?

You were wrong. I thought for sure that
guy was a nut.

Yeah, well, if you were so sure, why
didn't you tell me about it, huh?

Hey, man, we didn't want to get you in
any more trouble. I mean, you know, all

that hassle you were having in school
and everything.

Besides, man, we didn't know what your
head was like in something like this.

Yeah, well, you do now, right?

Yeah, we sure the hell do.

Hey, you know, now that we know, hey,
look, this time I really am going to do

something.

Plans to the Panama Red.

Oh, man, I'm in too much trouble
already.

Oh, man, you didn't have much trouble.

A little more isn't going to hurt.

You'll feel better.

Hey, I'm not into grass anymore.

Now, if you had some ludes.

You hear that, Alvin?

The man wants quaaludes.

Ow!

Step into my office.

All right.

and I happen to know exactly where you
can get some Dynamite 714.

They could be all yours.

All right, how much?

How much you prepared to offer?

Well... Oh, yeah.

Oh!

Smooth.

Oh, that is something worth.

You ought to clean this stuff. That's
what I came over for, man.

Oh, man.

Man, this ain't worth a damn unless you
clean it. You got a tree in there, man.

Oh, man, I was thinking, man.

Well, you know, man, this is really
rough being suspended.

If your old man worked at home like
mine,

You wouldn't be saying that.

What did your folks say, man, about you
being suspended and all?

They grounded me.

Grounded you, man?

I got to stay in my room for the rest of
the semester.

That's rough, man.

I said that if Conway's parents try and
sue us, man, he's going to

box them, man.

He's going to sue the police.

Why?

That's what Maryland's playing on us,
you know, the climate of fear.

Oh, man, that is too much, man. My dad
ate that up.

Man, I mean, he even wrote it down.

Your old man really gets into that.

What did your old man say?

I mean, yeah, what's happening?

What's happening with you?

Oh, man.

I got me this lecture on how the cops
are friends, you know. It

was just great.

No, no.

My old man, no.

My old man then said he was going to
take my car away.

Oh, no.

I know.

I know. If I just keep cool for a while,
I know I can talk about it.

Hey,

you two guys are very, very, very lucky
young men.

My dad belted me across the kitchen
floor.

I told him if he did it again, I'd belt
him back.

My old lady flipped out.

I tell you, he flipped right out the
window.

Oh, man, I always thought your old lady
was cool.

Oh, she's cool, man.

Only when it comes to dope.

No, no, no.

Teddy boy, your old man is a real, uh,
uh, pillow.

Man, it's really been a pleasure, but I
got to get going.

You watch it. I got to go about my
appointed rounds.

Oh, man.

You want to come along?

Hey, Ron, how are you, man?

Hey, Jeffrey, my boy. Never better.

Hey, you got the dough, kiddo?

We want to see the stuff first.

Look there.

It's a sad world. Eleven years old and
already he's got no trust.

Well, how do we know they think it's
vitamins or something?

Just try them and see. Come on. Come on,
take one.

Come on.

All right. Your friend knows where it's
at.

Don't take them all, Davey. Those are
good, aren't they?

All right, yeah.

Vitamins, huh? Hey, come on, the money.

Thank you.

You know how much I made selling last
semester?

Almost two grand.

Not bad.

Man, I told you, I'm impressed.

Man, two grand.

That really cheered my car up. Are you
kidding me? You could put a blower in,

man? I tell you, put the whole thing in
a racing tune.

Yeah, except I ain't got to, Greg.

No way to get in.

What you can do, you know, is sell to
your own neighborhood. You know, France,

where you work.

Hey, man, I don't need buyers. I need a
connection.

Yeah, well, maybe I could just introduce
you to my man, you know?

I'll put in a good word for you.

Hi, man, will you look at this?

Oh, feeling good.

I'll dance for a pal.

Look at that. He's like a little puppet
on the screen.

Oh, you love that. Move your little arm.

Those were good.

Only the best stuff, man. Only the best.

All right. Look at him. I mean, that kid
is flying.

What's the matter with him?

What's the matter with him?

He took a half a dozen what, downers?

Hey, Dad, it's not a lot, man. It's
definitely not that strong.

He's just sleeping.

He's sleeping?

He's just a kid, man. He could be dead.

What's the matter with you, man? Don't
you care about him? Hey, I didn't tell

him to.

You told it to him. No!

I knew I was wrong, but I just couldn't
help it. You don't sweat it, babe.

I would have done the same thing, Dan.

I have done it, man. Yeah? On duty,
undercover?

Look, if I would have seen it, I would
have done worse.

On duty, undercover.

We all make mistakes, Dan.

Look how long it took me to make my
first buy.

Two weeks.

Yeah, then T .J. had to tell old hip
Pete here the hashy bar was really horse

manure.

All right, all right. Now, if you guys
are through playing rah -rah...

I'd like to point out to you that shade
did blow it.

Just where were you with your friend,
Ron?

He was about to take me to meet his
admirer. And now?

Does he think you're a cop? He thinks
I'm crazy. Well, he's right, isn't he? I

mean, there you are with a chance for a
breakthrough.

Finally going to where you went
undercover to go.

And you throw it all away. You forget
all the rules.

For a minute's personal satisfaction.

Just what was I supposed to do?

You throw us out there and say, do a
job.

Look like you're doping, but don't dope.

Get mad, but keep it all inside.

Just how much do you want from me? I
want it all.

You know how hinky people are about
programs like this.

Someday I'll tell you just the kind of
compromises I've had to make.

My wife wants to throw me out because
she's tired of hearing me screaming

the brass for the kids.

The boy was all right, wasn't he?

This time?

Nice going, pal.

It's like being one of those tough guys
in a roller derby.

Whether you're a hero or a villain
depends on which side you're on.

Eddie, what are you talking about?
Heroes and villains, man. Today's my

day back at school. Also Ron's and
Dav's.

And don't think Al isn't letting
everybody in on what happened with you

that junior high.

Yeah, well, I bet he ain't calling me a
hero, huh?

Well, what he says you are is what real
he -men used to kill him.

Come on, I gotta check these in at the
library.

You know, Dan, a lot of kids talk in
school and everything, but...

I think you ought to know that there are
a lot of people who see that whole

scene another way.

Watch out, it's the Mad Avenger.

You don't look like Captain America to
me.

I take it you heard.

Heard? By lunch it'll be all over the
place.

Well, are you fans or foes?

I don't know. I got to be honest with
you. I can't figure you out.

Yeah, I'm not your everyday stoner, am
I?

Dan, either you are one big wacko or
you're the coolest guy around.

Look, I can explain something to you.

When I was a kid in junior high school,
I had a really good friend.

And he got some really bad stuff.

If you could have seen what happened to
him, it's just... We can handle it, but

kids, we gotta go.

Dan, Rich is coming over after school to
study, and if you come, maybe we could

help you catch up on what you missed.

What are you kidding?

Even when I'm here, I miss everything.

Look, I'm not into this stuff like you
and Rich, but if we knew you were

maybe Rich could get some stuff.

Yeah?

Okay.

You see that there?

She does love you.

School was school.

Mom, I want you to meet Dan Coleman.

Didn't you say Rich was coming over this
afternoon?

Yeah, he had to run a quick errand
first.

I thought we had an agreement about the
kind of friends you were going to bring

home. Mom, don't.

I try to treat you like an adult.

I just wish you'd think of... Mom, Dan's
a very good person.

Sometimes I wonder if you know what a
good person is.

I've got to run, honey. I've got a
meeting. And I'll get your dinner.

Another meeting.

She's really working hard being mother
of the year, isn't she?

You and your mom, you're good friends,
huh?

When I do what she wants, we are.

Sometimes I think she just wants me to
be her.

Well... When am I going to see this
match of yours?

How about now?

This was my brother's room when he lived
at home. But now that he's at school, I

use it once in a while.

Hey,

great legs.

Nobody to bug you?

That was the idea.

My brother was pretty smart.

What?

You say that like he isn't anymore.

What's he telling you?

Dope.

He's the smartest guy I know.

All my girlfriends think he's cool, too.

You don't?

He's my brother.

I've seen him stoned.

Every time I've seen him for the past
three years, he's been stoned.

He's still in school, huh?

He's bombed out of two colleges.

He'll blow this one, too.

He loves it and he hates it, but he
doesn't want to think about it.

He doesn't want to think about anything
anymore.

Hey, Jill.

Boy, you're really getting a deluxe
treatment, aren't you?

Well, it looks like it'd be pretty hard
to study in this room, huh?

Well, if you want to go home, you know.

Rich, he's staying.

Well, we're not going to study. I can
see that.

So, what the hell?

Listen, Rich.

It's about time you and me had a little
talk, huh?

I got a lady, man.

She goes to junior college, and she
keeps me plenty busy.

So, it's cool, man.

I hear you.

This stuff costs five bucks a line. I
need the money this time, because my

allowance is running low.

I wouldn't want to embarrass my mother.

She'd like me to be a good hostess.

I owe you.

Where'd you get the stuff?

Hey. You're talking to a classy guy
here. You know, I'm the one who knows

the higher ups. Yeah, you do. I do.

You know, you want more action than
you've been getting. I'm the one who can

it for you. How about that? Are you
talking about these higher ups? I

you to my connection. You're just going
to move right in and sew them up before

I even make enough for that preamp I
want.

Hey, you guys have been really great.

But if it's all right, I'd like to take
my stuff home with me.

You know, I want to share it with that
lady I was telling you about.

Doug, you two probably want to be alone.

I can do it, Dan.

I'll do it.

Oh, that's great. There it is.

Okay.

Thanks, pal.

Well, I can't say it hasn't been a
pleasure.

See ya.

Come on.

Time to stop thinking.

I'm sorry.

It's just I'd like you to think about me
when I'm here.

Oh, I am thinking about you.

How terrific you are.

It's just I don't want to hear what's
going on at school, you know.

Not now.

I want this baby a lot.

It's just I keep...

Thinking about all the things that might
go wrong.

You know, drugs and problems.

Sometimes instead of looking forward to
the future, I get so scared.

I get afraid, too.

Really.

It's just, I... I guess that's why I
have it on my mind so much. I just can't

stop caring.

I don't even know why I brought it up.

Maybe I'm just trying to make you
remember.

You're not a kid. You're not one of
them.

Honey, I know that.

Hey!

That's great.

He kicked. Did you see that?

Sure he kicked. It's great.

Unless she did.

You're giving your hand.

Gee, what is... That's so wonderful.

That is going to be one...

Tough, baby.

Brutal under the back.

Hey, let's take it slow, okay? I mean,

after all, tomorrow's Sunday.

We got all day.

I wish we did, baby.

Sure, I am so sorry, but tomorrow...

It's not my fault, it's Rich.

Give me a host like Jimmy Dillinger,
Michigan.

Are you guys here? Who's going to be
playing this weekend?

Yeah, well, they're probably sold out
already, unless it's someone I don't

to see.

Well, you know that group they keep on
playing on KNEP with the guy who used to

be with Brampton?

Oh, yeah, I know who you mean.

That sounds like it's worth going to,
eh?

Keep going, I will.

Right, then we get to see your junior
college cupcake.

Here we go again.

I'm the only one with a problem.

Who do I take?

Hey, how about, uh...

How about Barbie? No, Barbie won't go
with Steve. Oh, come on. How do you

She's got Ron.

Yeah, Ron never takes her out. That's
not what he thinks she's for. That's

funny. Hey, listen, man. Come on. I'll
go with you, all right? Hey, Colton!

That takes care of that.

No, it doesn't. Listen, just go talk to
him. No, really. Go to him. I'm telling

you, you're going to regret it if you
don't, all right? Go ahead.

Come on, man.

Hi, Tony.

Coleman, I want to talk to you.

I found this in my box Friday night.

It's a letter I wrote to your parents to
see if they'd let you wrestle.

It's marked Address C Unknown.

Okay, so I move.

Hey, look, Coleman, I can't just stand
by when you give a phony address when

live out of the district.

I can't let this go by.

I'll have to show this to Mr. Merrill
tomorrow.

Don't you live around here?

Yeah, we live around here.

I don't want to get that stupid letter.
We just move.

He'll find out when he checks me off.

Hey,

you know that group we were talking
about?

I'd really like to go, man. I'm just,
I'm just bust.

Oh, come on.

No, I'm serious, man.

You know how much money I just put in my
car?

I don't know. I'm just going to have to
figure out a way to get some more money.

Okay, okay.

I tell you what lovable devil may care
rich is going to do. Since you're such a

charity case, I'll let you meet my
connection.

Bye.

Hey, hey.

How'd you fare?

She said, um, she said yes.

Hey, Murky, how you doing? Where's your
boss?

Uh -huh. Did he call you about that new
electric keyboard that came in?

No. Why, is he back here?

Just follow the cries of anguish. Okay.

Mr. Oden? Do you have any idea what I'm
going through?

I've got two years' worth of back orders
for this thing, and they ship me one.

One? Mr. Oden, this is Dan Coleman.
Look, if you want one of these babies,

you're going to have to put your name on
the list like everybody else. Well, he

wants to buy, but not that.

You say he's a friend of yours?

Yep.

How old are you now?

Oh, he's cool. I know him. He's one of
my closest friends.

I got a lot of guys around where I work
and where I hang out so I can move some

stuff.

What do you want?

I figured to start with maybe a pound of
good grass.

I got commercial, but good commercial.

And a couple of grams of dust.

I can do that, too.

How long will it take you to move it?

Well, I'm just guessing, but knowing
these guys, I figure about a week.

We're talking about $250 right now in my
hand.

Do you have it?

Either you do or you don't.

You see, the thing is, I ran around like
crazy last night to set this thing up,

right?

So this is what I got.

Seventy -three dollars does not two
grams of dust and a pound of weed make.

I understand.

I understand.

Damn it, Merrill, I understand your
position. Why can't you try to

ours? I've been very understanding of
yours, Abrams. That's why you're a man

still at school.

Look, why don't you tell the coach that
Dan's got a new address in the district,

that the post office made a mistake?

Maybe it's because I don't like having
to lie to my teachers.

Now, look, we've been over and over this
thing. I want... the hell, not make any

bust, but what can you and your teachers
do?

Now, you just mentioned to a parent that
his or her little darling is smoking,

snorting, or swallowing something, and
believe me, you're going to have a libel

suit. Well, it's a high price, God
knows, but maybe we've got to think

paying it.

Damn it, Merrill, there are 12 -year
-olds getting stoned out in the street.

Now, Dan's moving up the ladder. He's on
to somebody very important.

All right.

I'll tell the coach what you suggested.

But this is the last time I can cover
it. Now, I'm telling you this now so I

don't have to feel sorry if anything
else happens.

Merrill?

Well, you heard the man.

I heard.

Forget about him. Now, this Auden guy
you found makes me very happy.

Now, if he can lead us to a distributor,
we'll be justifying our salary. All

right. Now, I figure I'll play it nice
and careful.

Come back with more money, work up a
trust.

What we need to get to is a big buyout.

Okay. He's probably got most of his
stuff allocated to his regulars.

So if I want enough, he's going to have
to take me to his source.

And then we got them both.

You know something, Shea?

You just might make an operator yet.

Don't thank me. No, just don't thank me.
The math recruiter has done it again. I

want you to meet Judy Lawrence, your
junior college cupcake.

Hey, TJ.

Hey, she's an undercover knock in 33rd
Division. I think she's going to do just

fine for Shea's big rock night.

Hey, what's the matter?

She's not what you had in mind?

No, no, no. She'll do fine.

I was just wondering how she'll fit in
between Barbie and Jill.

Now, don't forget, Bubba. You're
supposed to feel fatherly towards these

foxes, nothing else.

I don't feel anything else, all right?

Hey, I'm sorry.

I'm not going to push you.

I've been there, remember?

Yeah.

It's just you can get really tight with
them.

Tighter than you want to.

You can't save everybody, Dan.

Sometimes it's all you can do to save
yourself.

Come on, Eddie, dance with me.

Barbie, you don't know how much I wish I
knew how, but I can't.

Barbie?

Go on, invite the lady.

Excuse me.

I was, uh, I was wondering, uh...

Barbie!

Oh, Judy, you are one lucky lady. Know
what they say about guys who move like

that when they dance.

Know what they say about girls who can
too, don't we?

Dan, I've been thinking maybe it's about
time you started to get home.

You can't do that.

Not yet.

Hey, Eddie.

You shouldn't be doing it. Yeah, this is
right. No, no. Eddie, I'm the A student

here. I must be right.

Listen, if you guys really want to get
out of here, I've got a great idea. We

could go for a ride. All right. I know.
My father's great.

Dark White Rose.

What are you talking about?

Who does that?

Angel does.

Oh, Eddie.

Hey, let's take Richard's van. It's got
all that room in the back, huh?

Oh, yeah. Hey, that's about the right
kind of idea.

I was going to have.

Okay.

Let's see.

Eddie, come on, man. You're stoned
enough.

I got to get with everybody.

Oh, you offered me some. Hey, what is
it? You're really like... I'm sorry.

I'm really...

Red, that's a road!

You're heading back down the hill.
Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!

Eddie! Eddie!

Eddie!

Don't do that.

My name is Markovici. We had a call. Our
son is here.

Is he all right? Is Eddie all right?

Mr. Markovici? Yes? My name's Dan
Coleman. I was with Eddie. You're Dan?

You're Eddie's friend. He respected you.
How could you let him do that? Mr.

Markovici, it wasn't Dan's fault. It was
nobody's fault. Nobody's fault? He

never touched drugs before. Never.

Markovici? Yes.

We're Eddie's parents.

We had to resuscitate, but the immediate
crisis has passed.

He's all right?

Well, he's still in a coma. We'd like to
take an EEG, and then after he's up,

we'll need further tests.

I'm sorry.

It's not over yet. We don't know if
there's been any brain damage.

Judy, you've been there before.

Tell me, ever see anybody go through a
bad trip like that and come out okay?

What I'd really like to see right now is
the undercover operator come out okay.

Why don't you go home and get some
sleep, okay?

Yeah, better.

And Dan, listen, for your own sake,
don't take this home with you.

It was Eddie.

I called the hospital, but they wouldn't
tell me anything.

They, uh... They don't know yet.

This is really your place now, isn't it?

Like a kid's hideout.

I guess.

I come here, you know, when there are
things I don't understand.

What you don't want to understand?

What did you take tonight?

What?

Tonight, when you came back here to
hide, what did you take?

Nothing.

I thought about it.

And I've got some grass stashed away,
but I... I keep seeing Eddie.

Look, if you want some, it's back there
behind the counter.

No, no.

I see Eddie, too.

What did you come here for?

I came here tonight because I wanted to
tell you... Oh, you could have called. I

wanted to talk. Is that all right? Oh,
you had... What was her face? Judy and

Barbie to talk? Damn it! I wanted to
talk to you.

You got that? You.

helped feeling like it's my fault if i
if i just hadn't gone along with the way

barbie was fooling around if i had just
taken the joint away from him soon then

eddie'd be okay dan you're not some dumb
little kid i watched

you you try to hide it but you see
things you know what it's all about

I'm not talking about what I know.

I'm talking about Eddie.

Eddie was scared.

That's why you do it. I do it. Because
you get scared.

Because you've got to be cool and
popular and perfect.

Is he going to meet us there?

Easy pregnancy, we'd hope for her, but
she's doing just fine.

Great. How about the pain?

Well, there was some spotting, but that
could have been caused by any number of

things. I do want Sharon to stay in the
hospital for a couple of days.

Make sure she gets complete rest.

Okay. How about afterwards?

Afterwards, she can go home.

I do want to have a little discussion
with you about the job errors.

It may be time for you to become a lady
of leisure.

Thank you.

It's like Ballard and Company is going
to have to deal with one less executive

secretary. Well, the budget can handle
it. You can handle not working.

I should have been there with you,
Sierra. I should have.

You do what you have to do for as long
as you have to do it.

Only... Danny, please.

Will you get out?

We need you here, Shane, not on the
street. That's not what I need.

I am sick and tired of looking like a
kid. Looking like one, talking like one,

living like one. Anybody can drive
around all day playing cops and robbers.

There are only a few guys who can do
what you can do. So you find yourself a

more. What is it? The uniform? Is that
it? I don't know what it is.

I missed the line.

The one between them and us.

because I'm not really sure who's who
anymore. All right, you figure you've

a lot of good reasons for quitting the
unit, even if you think it's worth the

time lost and the money. I don't want to
go visiting the hospital. Don't you

understand that?

Not until my kid is born. If we do our
job, you don't have to.

Don't you think I know how you feel?
Don't you think it tears at me?

Just postpone your decision for a while,
just till you finish what you started.

What do you want me to do?

I want to get the guy who really counts.
I want to get to a big buyout. No more

Eddie Markovicis. That's why we're here.

We're talking about $600. You know that.

$100, $200, $300, $400, $500, and $600.

There. Now, can you do two keys and not?

Well, I can let you have one now.

You can come back and get the second one
tomorrow. How's that?

Mr. Rodden, hey, I can't do that.

I promised these people they'd have all
the wheat today and four grams of dust.

Now, if they wanted to wait till
tomorrow, they could have gone 20 other

Coleman, I can give you two grams of
pure dust and half that wheat, and

all.

Can't you call your guy or something?

Look, I'm going to be good for you, man.

I got buyers at four different schools.

And I got a chick who's the main
connection for a whole neighborhood.

on.

This is Howard Audner.

I got a friend here who needs a new pair
of stereo speakers.

He's got a four -year -old rig. Thank
you.

Answering machine.

If he's at home, he'll have been
listening to the call, and if not, well,

just have to wait.

Auden knew that.

Right.

Well, he needs everything today.

All right.

I'll be back in an hour.

What, you think I'm crazy, man?

I can't let that out of my hands.

My friends will cream me if I blow their
bread.

No.

I'm sorry. I can't take a chance.

Well, that's it, man.

But you're blowing a lot of bread.

Murky? Yeah?

Mind the store.

Okay, Mr. Ross.

on in. I'll get it.

Hey, Farley.

Alton's here.

Hey, how you doing?

What's he doing here?

This is the friend I was telling him
about.

I don't care if he's your brother. You
can't bring him in here.

Yeah, well, if he hadn't brought me,
pal, we wouldn't have a deal.

I'm talking about $500 to $1 ,000 a week
profit.

Clear profit.

Okay, okay.

You better check things out.

You got something for me?

Man. Third floor.

Really got a beautiful view up here. Ten
years, kicking around, scuffling.

TJ, that lookout is heading back your
way.

Got him.

You made it.

Let's head at the third floor.

Remember, Coleman, we're partners now.

Hey, cop!

Freeze! Hold it right there!

I got it.

Against the wall.

All you have to do is try to make a
move.

Che, you just did just fine.

Judging from what was up there, I'd say
we shut down 40 to 50 kilos a week.

Not to mention about two pounds of dust.

A hell of a notch on your belt.

Good work.

All we've got to do now is round up the
kids.

The kids? Why? You got the guy you
really wanted? Well, that's just one

There's an awful lot of kids out there.

They'll just go someplace else.

We've got to shake them up.

Make them really understand what they're
getting into.

I should have known them.

Oh, man, they should have gotten you
instead of Conway. They should have

you. Real big bust, man. How do you
feel, huh?

Thank you.

They wouldn't let me go.

My parents are here, but they wouldn't
let me go.

I wanted to talk to you.

Why?

Dan, we were your friends, all of us. We
trusted you.

Yeah.

In the hospital, Mr. Markovici said
that, too.

I was Eddie's friend, he said.

How could I let him do what he did?
Well, maybe that's why, Jill.

So you wouldn't do what he did.

But you, you spied on us.

You lied. and betrayed him.

Did it turn you on, Dan?

Or whatever your name is?

Did it make you hive, playing with all
those little kids? Come off it, Jill.

You're not little kids. None of you.

And you can see things, too. And you can
feel them.

Remember?

I don't want to feel this. I don't want
to see it.

I'm trying to help you, damn it.

What should I do?

Let you all become junkies? Let you kill
yourselves by turning your brain into

jelly? It's my... Yeah, and you can do
whatever you want with it, right?

So you can hate yourself the way you
hate your brother?

For all that waste?

Come on, Jill, you don't even believe
your own argument. You're too smart for

that.

What, am I going to be charged with
possession?

No.

We're only interested in the dealers.

Now, you furnished to me, but you didn't
deal.

You won't be charged with anything.

But you will know what it could have
been like.

Jill, I care for you. Can't you care for
yourself?

Can I go now?

Yeah.

Dan?

Is that your name?

Dan is.

Coleman is my wife's maiden name.

Look out, gentlemen. The star of the
unit has arrived.

Make way. Make way.

All right. All right.

An honor to have been wired in my rear
on the same chairs as you. Okay, don't

you guys have your locks to bring today?
You got all your dealers ID'd?

I want to talk to you.

They'll want to be transferred back to
patrol.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Something really important's being done
here.

Something that needs getting done.

But I can't do it.

I can't go out there and fool those kids
and then have to face myself anymore. I

just can't.

Even if I was willing to pay the price.

i can't ask the kids to not anymore

Honey? Hi.

You all right? Never better. How you
doing?

I'm fine.

Actually, I'm lying down practicing.

You want to hear? Sure, yeah.

Lady,

you are under arrest for making an
obscene phone call.

Listen, I just wanted to tell you that
it's all over.

I did what I had to do, and I'm out.

So, it's back to the blues.

And I'm coming home.

Hurry home. We'll both be waiting for
you. Sharon?

Yeah?

I love you. I love you, too.

Well, what do you know?

The lady actually knows how to breathe.

Are you just going to stand there? Are
you going to make yourself part of this

team? Now, what do you think, huh?

Oh, wow.

Let's see how long he can hold it.

11 Mary 6.

Call the station.

13 Zebra 5. John Frank William 899.

Come on, Rocky, a member of the mob?

Well, he becomes the target of a mission
of vengeance on the Rockford Files next

on A &E.
