FULLER'S HERE.

WE HAVE TO GO.

THAT'S MY CAR, DOUG.

THEY PROMISED ME

THEY'D PUT YOUR CAR BACK THE WAY IT WAS.

WHY MY CAR? PULL ONE FROM IMPOUND.

WE'LL GIVE YOU A CAR WE PULLED OFF THE HILL.

THEY'LL NEVER RECOGNIZE A ROADRUNNER

WITH "BORN TO BOOGIE" ON IT.

THAT'S WHAT

OUR BOY'S DRIVING.

NO PLATES.

LESS WIND RESISTANCE.

HE'S A WHITE MALE, BROWN HAIR, 16 TO 18.

THAT NARROWS IT DOWN.

HE'S GOOD FOR A DOZEN PURSUITS AND THREE HIT-AND-RUN FELONIES.

WE CAN'T CATCH ONE GUY?

WE ALMOST HAD HIM.

WHEN HE RAN A RED LIGHT AT 120

THE CITY ADDED ONE BLACK-AND-WHITE

AND A CIVILIAN VEHICLE

TO THE LOSS COLUMN.

SO MUCH FOR BUDGET CUTS.

THESE RACES ARE BECOMING A BIG DRAW.

CITY TRAFFIC'S TRYING TO WORK IT

BUT THE RACERS HAVE LOOK-OUTS.

( crash )

CAN'T THEY JUST SHOOT IT AND PUT IT OUT OF ITS MISERY?

ALL DONE.

( engine revving )

MY EARS ARE RINGING.

WHAT?

THIS IS A VINTAGE MACHINE, A WORK OF ART...

LIKE A DA VINCI.

NOW IT'S A WARHOL.

Hanson: RUSSELL?

RUSSELL BUCKINS?

IN PERSON.

WHOO!

MUGGA WUGGA HUGGA HUGGA.

WHOO, MAN.

OLD FRIEND?

VERY OLD.

DOUG PENHALL... RUSSELL BUCKINS.

YOU A COP, TOO?

YEAH.

SEND ME TO JAIL.

TEACH ME A TRADE.

YOU'RE OUT OF WORK AGAIN.

"MY OCCUPATIONAL HAZARD IS

MY OCCUPATION'S JUST NOT AROUND."

JIMMY BUFFET.

LAST TIME WE TALKED, YOU WORKED AT THAT RADIO STATION.

I GOT FIRED.

I PLAYED "LOUIE, LOUIE" 48 HOURS STRAIGHT.

IT WAS AN ALL "LOUIE, LOUIE" WEEKEND.

I BOLTED MYSELF INTO THE CONTROL BOOTH.

THEY GOT ME OUT WITH AN AXE.

THAT WAS YOU?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I'M JUST CRUISIN' ON THROUGH TO THE MOUNTAINS.

AND I'M GOING TO A WEDDING OF A FRIEND OF YOURS.

A VERY SPECIAL FRIEND.

WHO?

YOU GOT TO GUESS.

I'LL GIVE YOU A HINT.

IT'S SOMEBODY YOU'D NEVER EXPECT.

WHO?

DEBBIE EATON.

READ IT AND WEEP, PAL.

DEBBIE EATON?

DEBBIE EATON.

DEBBIE EATON.

I THOUGHT I'D CRASH HERE

AND TOMORROW CRUISE UP IN MY CONVERTIBLE.

DO YOU WANT TO GO?

DEBBIE EATON'S GETTING MARRIED.

Penhall: WHOA!

"TOM, JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW

"IT'S THE THINGS WE NEVER SAID

"THAT WERE IMPORTANT.

LOVE YOU ALWAYS... DEB."

ISN'T THAT NICE?

ALWAYS? ALWAYS?

"ALWAYS" TURNED OUT TO BE 3 1/2 WEEKS.

WHAT HAPPENED?

I DON'T KNOW. WE WERE HEADED

IN SEPARATE DIRECTIONS.

YOU COULD HAVE MADE YOUR MOVE, BUT YOU CHOKED.

WE NEVER GOT THAT FAR.

I MEANT TO CALL HER.

GOOD THING YOU DIDN'T WAIT TOO LONG.

THERE WERE OBSTACLES.

YOU WERE THE OBSTACLE, MAN.

THER'S SEOMTHING I'M MISSING HERE.

DETAILS.

I MET HER A PARTY FOUR WEEKS BEFORE SCHOOL ENDED.

I WAS NUTS ABOUT HER.

SO WE STARTED GOING OUT BUT I HAD A GIRLFRIEND.

WE BOTH KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING THERE BUT THE TIMING WAS BAD

AND THEN THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, GRADUATION.

SHE WENT TO EUROPE THEN TO MICHIGAN STATE, I WENT THERE TOO.

WELL, A COUPLE OF YEARS OF SLEEPING IN AND GETTING HIGH.

SO, DID YOU EVER SEE HER AGAIN?

WELL, WE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GET TOGETHER THE FOLLOWING CHRISTMAS.

WE WE'RE GOING TO GO DOWN TO FLORIDA FOR WINTER BREAK BUT--

BUT YOU CHOKED.

I DIDN'T CHOKE. I HAD TO WORK AND HELP MY MOM.

THAT WAS THE TRUNING POINT, MAN.

YOU MAKE ME SICK.

SO, WHO'S SHE MARRYING?

SOME CLOWN THAT WENT TO LAW SCHOOL.

SO, WHAT'S IT GONNA BE? YOU GONNA CRUISE UP WITH ME OR WHAT?

TOMMY, SHE'S GETTING MARRIED AND THIS COULD BE YOUR LAST CHANCE

TO ASK HER OUT ON A DATE.

HE'S RIGHT.

I CAN'T! I GOT A COURT DATE. I GOTTA WORK.

Penhall: HE IS RIGHT, YOU KNOW.

Hanson: GIVE ME A BREAK.

RUSSELL HASN'T CHANGED A BIT.

HE'S STILL LIVING DAY TO DAY.

IN HIGH SCHOOL, DID YOU HAVE AN ONION-HEAD HAIRCUT?

DID YOU WEAR CREW NECK T-SHIRT WITH A POCKET PROTECTOR?

I DIDN'T HAVE A POCKET PROTECTOR.

TWO OUT OF THREE.

DID YOU EVER GET SENT TO DETENTION?

DID YOU EVER GET CAUGHT SHOPLIFTING?

OR GET AN "F" FOR BLOWING OFF YOUR HOMEWORK?

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.

SO I WAS A RESPONSIBLE KID.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?

GREEN MEANS GO.

Penhall: WHOO!

WHOO!

A RESPONSIBLE GUY LIKE YOU

HAS GOT TO HAVE THREE, FOUR DAYS OF OVERTIME.

SHE'S GETTING MARRIED.

GOING THERE WON'T CHANGE THAT.

DIDN'T YOU EVER SEE THE GRADUATE?

IT NEVER CHANGES.

AND THEY NEVER GET ANY SMARTER.

WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

DID YOU EVER DRAG RACE?

DID YOU EVER BORROW SOMEBODY'S CAR

AND GO FOR A RIDE?

OR GET INTO A BRAWL AFTER A FOOTBALL GAME?

DID YOU EVER PUNCH SOMEBODY OUT?

I'M GOING TO PUNCH YOU OUT.

NOW YOU'RE TALKING.

YOU MISSED SOMETHING, MY FRIEND.

YOU MISSED BEING A TEENAGER.

MAYBE.

BUT NOW THEY PAY ME TO DO THAT.

SMOKE WAS FILLING UP THE CAR.

THE GUY'S SO FAR BACK...

THOSE SMOG CHECKS ARE A DRAG.

I'M TALKING HERE.

HEY, TOMMY LOCKHART.

I HEARD YOU COME IN.

THAT YOUR MUSTANG?

UH-HUH.

SHE ALL BARK AND NO BITE?

NOBODY'S EVER GOTTEN IN FRONT OF HER.

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU DON'T LOOK SO FAST TO ME.

LET'S BLOW.

HE SPOTTED YOU AS A TOUGH GUY RIGHT AWAY.

HEY!

HE'S MORE DANGEROUS THAN HE LOOKS.

DID DADDY BUY HIM THAT CAR?

I TELL YOU WHAT...

YOU'RE THE ONE WALKING AWAY.

YOU KNOW SOMETHING?

YOU'RE TRYING TOO HARD.

YOU GOT TO EARN THE RIGHT TO RACE ME.

FIRST YOU RACE CHARLIE, THEN LITTLE MIKE

THEN SPECTOR.

THEN, MAYBE WE'LL TALK.

AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO RACE FOR NOTHING.

I DON'T EVER RACE FOR NOTHING.

500 BUCKS AGAINST YOUR PINK SLIP.

LET'S GO. RIGHT NOW

IF YOU THINK YOU'RE SO FAST

OR GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.

MIND IF I TALK TO MY MAN

THE MAN WHO'S GOING TO BLOW YOUR DOORS OFF?

SOMEBODY OUGHT TO.

YOU OKAY?

I CAN BEAT THIS GUY.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO RACE HIM.

I GOT TO GET HIM TO THE LINE.

MAKE SURE YOU MAKE THE CALL.

I'LL MAKE THE CALL.

GOOD, BECAUSE HE LOOKS LIKE HE COULD BLOW YOUR DOORS OFF.

396, MAYBE 454.

YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE, FRIEND.

WE DON'T GOT THE CASH

BUT I'LL PUT UP THE PINK SLIP.

DONE.

OKAY, LISTEN UP.

WHEN THE CHEVELLE IS ON THE STARTING LINE

HANSON WILL RADIO US.

NOW, REMEMBER, WE WANT THE RED CHEVELLE.

ANY OTHERS YOU SCOOP UP IS GRAVY.

ANY QUESTIONS?

THE STARTER'S IN PLACE.

WHERE'S HANSON?

HE'S COMING UP TO THE STARTING LINE.

ALL RIGHT. STAND BY.

WHAT THE HELL!

( horn blaring )

HOW IS HE?

NOT GOOD.

YOU HAD AN UNDERCOVER OFFICER

RACING AT 100 MILES AN HOUR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

THE OFFICER AND I ARE TERRIBLY SORRY

FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR SON.

BUT HE WAS ON THE STREET

BREAKING THE LAW WITHOUT ANYBODY TWISTING HIS ARM.

IT WASN'T THE FIRST TIME.

HE WILL FACE CHARGES FOR WHAT HE'S DONE.

ONLY IF HE LIVES, CAPTAIN.

YOU GUYS ARE GOING BACK TO THE ACADEMY.

WHAT?

ARE YOU KIDDING?

DO I LOOK LIKE I'M KIDDING, PENHALL?

NO.

IT'S DEPARTMENTAL POLICY FOR YOUNG OFFICERS

WHO COMMIT A GRIEVOUS ERROR.

YOU'LL BE INTERVIEWED BY I.A.D.

THEN RECYCLED THROUGH THE ACADEMY

TOMORROW AT 0600 HOURS.

WHEN DID I BECOME MY PARTNER'S KEEPER?

WHEN YOU WERE SWORN IN.

I WAS 50 YARDS AWAY.

SHOULD I HAVE THROWN MYSELF IN FRONT OF THE CAR?

I DIDN'T KNOW

HE WOULD TAKE OFF.

YOU ACQUIESCED, PENHALL.

YOU'LL GET A 181 ON YOUR RECORD.

HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.

THAT'S RIGHT.

HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.

THAT'S WHY THE DEPARTMENT CALLS IT ACQUIESCING.

PARTNERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR EACH OTHER

AND YOU KNOW THAT IT WORKS BOTH WAYS.

YOUR SCREW-UP LAST NIGHT

COULD COST HIM HIS JOB, TOO.

THINK ABOUT IT.

THAT'S ALL.

ACQUIESCING?

HANSON, GET A UNIT TO TAKE YOU HOME.

YOUR CAR HAS BEEN IMPOUNDED AS EVIDENCE.

YOU PICKED A GREAT TIME TO BECOME IRRESPONSIBLE.

GOOD MORNING.

All: GOOD MORNING, SIR.

LET ME GIVE YOU ALL FOUR WORDS OF ADVICE.

DON'T...

MAKE...

ME...

ANGRY.

OKAY, LISTEN UP.

FUTRELL.

HERE, SIR.

ABRAMS.

HERE, SIR.

WILSON.

HERE, SIR.

PRYOR...

HERE, SIR.

PENHALL...

HERE, SIR.

WELCOME BACK, OFFICER PENHALL.

IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK, SIR.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW OFFICER PENHALL

HE'S AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU DON'T WANT TO BECOME.

HE'S BEING RECYCLED--

COULDN'T MAKE IT ON THE OUTSIDE.

BUT HE'S BEING GIVEN ONE MORE CHANCE.

SO LET'S ALL TRY AND KEEP HIM FROM SCREWING IT UP...

BECAUSE HE LOOKS LIKE HE COULD.

HANSON.

HANSON?

HANSON!

( Russell laughing )

HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?

ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THIS?

YES.

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY LECTURES FROM YOU.

I JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU

THAT YOU'RE THE GUY WHO FOLDS HIS SOCKS

BEFORE YOU PUT THEM IN YOUR DRAWER.

WELL, MAYBE I'M TIRED OF FOLDING MY SOCKS.

OKAY, WELCOME ABOARD.

BUT YOU BETTER WEAR YOUR HELMET.

WILL DEBBIE BE SURPRISED TO SEE YOU.

DOESN'T IT SCARE YOU THE WAY YOU'RE LIVING--

NO JOB, NO SECURITY?

HEY, I GOT SECURITY.

I GOT SECURITY KNOWING

I DON'T OWE NOBODY FOR ANYTHING

AND I CAN GO WHEREVER I WANT WHENEVER I WANT.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

DO YOU LIKE WHAT YOU'RE DOING?

WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO TO YOU

FOR NOT SHOWING UP?

FIRE ME.

SHREWD MOVE, HANSON.

JUST DRIVE, MAN.

YEAH.

HEY, RUSSELL...

YO!

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU, MAN.

SAME HERE, BABY.

WHOO.

THE ACADEMY JUST CALLED ME.

HANSON DIDN'T SHOW.

WELL, WHERE IS HE?

THAT'S WHY I CALLED YOU IN HERE.

FIND HIM.

YES, SIR.

WHAT ABOUT THE PRELIM ON THE LAFKO CASE?

WHAT ABOUT IT?

HANSON AND I GOT SUBPOENAED LAST WEEK.

THE HEARING'S TOMORROW.

FIND HANSON.

HOW DID I GET STUCK WITH YOU, PENHALL?

YOUR NAME BEGINS WITH "P," YOU IDIOT.

PENHALL...

PRYOR... PINHEAD.

PENHALL, DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY?

NO, SIR.

PENHALL, WHY ARE YOU HERE?

I LOVE BEING A POLICE OFFICER, SIR.

NO.

YOU ARE HERE BECAUSE YOU'RE A SCREW-UP.

YOU WERE A SCREW-UP THE FIRST TIME

AND ALL YOU'VE DONE SINCE YOU LEFT

IS SCREW UP.

CONSISTENCY HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE STRONGEST PART OF MY GAME.

YOU KNOW WHY YOU'RE A SCREW-UP, PENHALL?

BECAUSE YOU'VE FORGOTTEN HOW TO BE A TEAM MEMBER.

WHEN A POLICE OFFICER WORKS UNDERCOVER

HE GETS TO DRESS LIKE A LOWLIFE

AND TALK LIKE A LOWLIFE.

AFTER A WHILE, IF HE'S NOT CAREFUL

HE FORGETS WHAT HE IS

AND HE STARTS ACTING LIKE A LOWLIFE.

SIR, PERMISSION TO BE ASSIGNED ANOTHER PARTNER

DUE TO A PERSONAL CONFLICT.

DENIED.

DURING YOUR 20 YEARS OF SERVICE, YOU'LL BE ASSIGNED TO MANY

LOUSY PARTNERS.

GET USED TO IT.

CLASS-- EXCEPT PENHALL--

TEN-HUT.

NOW, OFFICER PENHALL

YOU STAY HERE AND ACT LIKE AN INDIVIDUAL

WHILE THE REST OF THE TEAM GOES OUT FOR COFFEE.

CLASS...

DISMISSED.

HEY!

PULL THAT HEAD UP, RECRUIT.

THANK GOD.

YOU'VE COME TO PULL ME OUT, RIGHT?

SORRY, PENHALL, BUT WE'RE ON A HANSON HUNT.

OH, GREAT.

HE SCREWS UP, AND I PAY FOR IT.

YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS?

NO. DON'T YOU?

WE CHECKED HIS HOUSE, PHONED HIS MOM

AND NOBODY'S SEEN HIM.

Ioki: HE BETTER SHOW UP.

I.A.D. IS CLIMBING ALL OVER FULLER.

HE'S SUPPOSED TO TESTIFY TOMORROW.

HE COULD GET CANNED FOR THIS.

HANSON?

CANNED?

HE'S NEVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG.

HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW ANYBODY WHO HAS DONE ANYTHING WRONG.

EXCEPT FOR ME.

WHAT?

RUSSELL BUCKINS.

HANSON, THE PROBLEM IS WE ALL HAVE THIS INFLATED VIEW

OF OUR OWN IMPORTANCE.

BUT THE REALITY IS

WE'RE ALL JUST SYNTHETIC FIBER ON SOME SPACE MUTANT'S SHOE.

YOU GOT ANY PROOF TO BACK THAT UP?

IF YOU HAD BEEN MORE SELFISH

WE WOULDN'T BE WATCHING DEBBIE'S WEDDING FROM THE CHEAP SEATS.

I ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT DEBBIE WOULD BE LIKE.

YEAH, I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN, MAN.

SHE WAS ALWAYS SOME KIND OF FANTASY FOR ME.

ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY.

BUT THE THING IS, I ALWAYS WONDERED IF THE REAL THING

COULD EVER BE AS GOOD AS THE FANTASY.

IT WAS BETTER.

WHAT?

WHAT WAS BETTER?

IT'LL BE BETTER.

IT WILL BE BETTER.

HEY, I GOT A PROBLEM WITH TENSES.

YOU HAD HER.

HANSON, WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE HERE.

TELL ME THE TRUTH

OR I'LL RIP YOUR THROAT OUT.

HEY, IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO IN COLLEGE.

COME ON.

WE WERE FRIENDS.

WE WERE AT SCHOOL TOGETHER.

THESE THINGS HAPPEN.

MY FRIEND?

IT WAS ONE TIME, YOU KNOW.

IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL ANY BETTER...

SHE SCREAMED YOUR NAME.

I'M TELLING YOU, YOU CAN DO IT, MAN.

YOU DO IT.

I WOULD, BUT I GOT A BAD BACK.

SINCE WHEN?

SINCE JUST NOW.

IT'S 500 BUCKS.

ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS STAY IN THE RING

FOR 60 SECONDS WITH SHEILA.

NO.

COME ON.

ONE MINUTE, 60 SECONDS.

YOU CAN BUY DEBBIE A GREAT WEDDING GIFT.

NO.

I'LL TAKE YOUR PICTURE.

WE'LL SHOW IT OFF AT THE WEDDING.

IT WILL MAKE DEBBIE LIKE YOU BETTER.

COME ON, MAN...

HOW BIG CAN SHEILA BE?

THIS IS THE STUFF LEGENDS ARE MADE OF.

( sounds of punching )

SHEILA, SHEILA, SHEILA!

GOT IT.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU AND YOUR PARTNER RECEIVE A RADIO CALL.

THERE'S A 211 SUSPECT, ARMED AND DANGEROUS

HIDING OUT SOMEWHERE IN THIS BUILDING.

WHEN YOU GET HERE

THE BUILDING HAS ALREADY BEEN EVACUATED.

THE GUY IN THE BATHROOM?

THAT'S OKAY.

THEY GOT THE GUY IN THE BATHROOM.

HOW ABOUT THE BASEMENT?

THE BUILDING HAS BEEN EVACUATED.

AND THE GUY IN THE BATHROOM'S GUN?

HE WAS UNARMED.

HE TAPED IT TO THE BACK OF THE TOILET.

THEY GOT THE GUN THAT WAS TAPED

TO THE BACK OF THE TOILET.

ANYTHING ELSE?

JUST A THOUGHT.

DIDN'T WANT ANYBODY TO GET HURT.

GOOD.

OKAY, PENHALL AND PRYOR, FIRST UP.

GO.

WHERE YOU GOING?

THE BACK ROOM.

YOU TAKE THE FRONT.

THE BOOK SAYS WE STICK TOGETHER.

"TWO MAN PERIMETER SEARCH"?

THE BOOK DON'T WORK ON THE STREET.

YOU JUST SAID SO YOURSELF.

COME ON, MAN.

WE CAN COVER MORE GROUND

THIS WAY.

WE CAN HANDLE IT.

DON'T HURT YOURSELF.

( gun cocking )

YOU'RE DEAD.

Shields: CONGRATULATIONS, PENHALL.

YOU'RE DEAD.

I'LL CALL MY PARENTS, SIR.

WHY WEREN'T YOU WITH YOUR PARTNER?

I HADN'T REALIZED THAT MY PARTNER

HAD STARTED THE PRELIMINARY SEARCH WITHOUT ME...

SIR.

THANKS FOR COVERING ME.

I'M SORRY, MAN.

IT JUST CAME OUT.

FORGET ABOUT IT.

IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN...

PARTNER.

I'M NOT YOUR PARTNER.

YOU DON'T KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT BEING A PARTNER.

LOOK, I'M SORRY.

YOU WANT ME TO TELL SHIELDS?

I WILL, OKAY?

TAKING OFF ON YOUR OWN WASN'T THE MISTAKE.

THE MISTAKE WAS I SHOULDN'T HAVE

LET YOU DO IT.

HANSON...

TOM HANSON.

HE'S A GUEST AT THE EATON WEDDING.

NO, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE GROOM'S NAME IS.

NO, HE'S NOT IN THE WEDDING.

HE...

NO...

HE'S NOT THE GROOM.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

NOTHING?

I STILL GOT 20 HOTELS LEFT IF MY EARS HOLD OUT THAT LONG.

I HOPE IOKI'S HAVING BETTER LUCK.

Judge: WHY ISN'T TOM HANSON PRESENT?

SOME SORT OF AN EMERGENCY, I'M SURE.

THIS CASE WILL BE CONTINUED UNTIL 9:00 A.M. TOMORROW.

OFFICER IOKI...

TELL MR. HANSON

THAT IF HE DOES NOT HAVE A VALID EXCUSE

FOR IGNORING HIS SUBPOENA

HE'LL BE FOUND IN CONTEMPT

AND HE'LL BE FINED OR IMPRISONED.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AHH! GOOD YOU'RE UP.

I'LL BE HONEST, HANSON.

I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYBODY

DEGENERATE THIS FAST BEFORE.

WHAT DID I SLEEP ON?

YOU BLOW OFF YOUR JOB, YOU WRESTLE A BEAR

YOU GET A TATTOO...

WHAT CAN I SAY?

I'M IMPRESSED.

I THOUGHT I WAS DREAMING.

YOU WERE, KIND OF.

A LOT OF GUYS WOULDN'T LET

SOMEBODY BRAND NEW WORK ON THEIR ARM.

IT TOOK A LOT OF GUTS.

GUYS DIE FROM THESE THINGS!

YOU CAN GET BLOOD POISONING.

YOU HAD TOO MUCH ALCOHOL IN YOU.

HOW COULD YOU LET ME GET A TATTOO?

FORGET ABOUT THE TATTOO.

YOU CAN'T FORGET ABOUT A TATTOO.

THAT'S THE POINT.

YOU GOT ONE?

UH...

NO.

HEY, I'M JUST LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT OBJECT.

I MEAN, AN INDIAN'S PERFECT FOR YOU.

ME, I GOT TO LOOK AROUND.

SO LOOK, HERE'S THE PLAN:

WE BLOW INTO TOWN, CLEAN UP

HIT A FEW BARS, WHATEVER.

THE REHEARSAL DINNER IS SET FOR SEVEN.

THAT'S WHEN WE MAKE OUR ENTRANCE.

WE'RE CRASHING DEBBIE'S REHEARSAL DINNER?

WE'LL EAT SOMEPLACE ELSE.

ONCE SHE SEES YOU

SHE'LL BLOW OFF THE WEDDING.

ONCE SHE SEES ME, SHE WON'T RECOGNIZE ME.

RELAX, MAN.

SHE TOLD ME SHE NEVER FORGETS A FACE.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, NEW PLAN:

YOU STAND IN THE BACK OF THE CHAPEL

POUND ON THE WINDOW AND YELL:

"ELAINE, ELAINE!"

HEY, WHAT'S THE MATTER, MAN?

YOU GOING TO PUKE OR SOMETHING?

I MUST BE NUTS.

WHAT AM I DOING?

YOU CALLED THE HOSPITAL.

THE KID IN THE WRECK WILL BE FINE.

I MEAN ABOUT DEBBIE.

THERE'S NOTHING BETWEEN US ANYMORE.

YOU'RE WRONG.

IT'S IN MY HEAD.

I'M TELLING YOU, SHE SCREAMED YOUR NAME.

I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE A FOOL OF MYSELF.

DON'T WUSS OUT ON ME NOW.

WE'RE ONLY A HALF A TANK...

( both screaming )

( honking)

( honking )

( tires screeching )

( crashing )

Sheriff: YES, SIR, I WILL TELL HIM THAT.

I'M GLAD I COULD HELP.

WELL, LET'S SEE...

$500 FINE, PLUS $150 FOR TOWING THE JEEP.

BY THE WAY, IT'S IMPOUNDED

AND UNDRIVEABLE.

GIVE ME A BREAK, HUH?

I MEAN, "VEHICULAR COWICIDE"?

IS THAT REALLY ON THE BOOKS?

THAT WAS A $5,500 COW.

YOU DON'T HAVE INSURANCE.

HEY, NEITHER DID THE COW.

THIS IS A NO-FAULT STATE

ISN'T IT?

UNDERCOVER COP, HUH?

YOU GOT A GREAT TOWN, SHERIFF.

CAN WE GO?

WE'RE GOING TO THIS WEDDING.

WE'LL GET A LIMO.

YOUR CAPTAIN SAYS YOU'RE LATE FOR COURT.

IF YOU DON'T SHOW TOMORROW

YOUR CASE IS BLOWN.

WERE YOU JUST PLANNING ON NOT SHOWING UP, SON?

I FORGOT ABOUT THE SUBPOENA.

THERE'S NO WAY

I COULD MAKE IT NOW.

RENT A CAR.

YOU DRIVE STRAIGHT THROUGH

YOU'LL MAKE IT.

COME ON, HANSON.

YOU'RE NOT SERIOUS.

WE GOT THE WEDDING.

WHERE IN HELL DID YOU PICK UP THIS FELON?

I APPRECIATE THAT.

WE GOT A WEDDING TO STOP.

YOU HAVEN'T MUCH CHOICE.

OF COURSE HE'S GOT A CHOICE.

I MEAN, THIS IS AMERICA, ISN'T IT?

I CAN'T GO TO THIS WEDDING.

I'M A COP.

I KNEW IT.

I KNEW YOU'D WUSS OUT.

ISN'T THIS PERFECT?

YOU'RE ONE YARD AWAY FROM THE GOAL LINE

AND YOU CALL TIME OUT.

DON'T PLAY FOR THE TIE.

GO FOR THE TOUCHDOWN.

GO FOR THE...

( imitating crowd cheering )

TOUCHDOWN!

( cheering )

TOUCHDOWN!

I CAN'T!

ONE TIME.

GOAL

TO GO.

HUH?

WHO IS THIS GUY?

Woman: RUSSELL BUCKINS!

YOU LOOK GREAT, DEB, EXTREMELY GREAT.

WHAT DO YOU SAY WE DITCH THIS GUY?

WE CAN BE IN VEGAS IN SEVEN HOURS.

I REMEMBER THE LAST TIME WE DID VEGAS.

HEY, THE KID SETTLED OUT OF COURT.

HEY...

YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHO ALMOST MADE IT HERE WITH ME.

WHO?

NOPE.

YOU GOT TO GUESS.

I'LL GIVE YOU A HINT.

SOMEBODY YOU WOULD NEVER EXPECT.

UH...

TOMMY HANSON.

TOMMY?

THE INVITATION SAID BRING A DATE...

HOW IS HE?

GAINED ABOUT 30 OR 40 POUNDS.

YOU CAN STILL MAKE OUT HIS FACE.

I'M KIDDING.

HE LOOKS GREAT.

HE REMEMBERED ME?

ARE YOU KIDDING?

I COULDN'T GET HIM TO SHUT UP.

YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT...

YOU MEAN THAT NIGHT BEFORE FINALS

IN YOUR DORM ROOM...

WHEN YOU SCREAMED HIS NAME?

NO, COME ON.

WHAT KIND OF GUY DO YOU THINK I AM?

OH, GREAT. THANKS, RUSSELL.

HEY, DO I DETECT THE SMELL OF A TORCH HERE?

JUST TELL ME WHAT HE SAID.

HE TOOK IT LIKE A MAN.

HIS EXACT WORDS WERE:

"YOU GUYS WERE IN COLLEGE TOGETHER

"YOU WERE FRIENDS

AND THESE THINGS HAPPEN."

COMING HERE AND ALL...

HOW CLOSE DID HE GET?

THE ONE YARD LINE.

Man: AND ISN'T IT TRUE

YOU KNEW THE DEFENDANT BEFORE HIS ARREST?

YES, IT IS.

ISN'T IT ALSO TRUE YOU ARGUED WITH THE DEFENDANT

AND, IN FACT, HAD GREAT DISDAIN FOR HIM?

I HAD ARGUMENTS WITH THE DEFENDANT

BUT I DIDN'T DISLIKE HIM.

WOULD YOU CONSIDER HIM A FRIEND?

NO.

IT'S ODD THAT, OUT OF EVERYONE ON THAT CAMPUS

YOU SINGLED OUT THE DEFENDANT TO DETAIN AND SEARCH.

WHAT WAS YOUR PROBABLE CAUSE?

AT THAT PARTICULAR TIME

HE WAS THE ONLY PERSON SPRINTING ACROSS THE QUAD

SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS

WEARING A BLOOD SOAKED T-SHIRT.

NO FURTHER QUESTIONS, YOUR HONOR.

WE GOT A HOSTAGE UP HERE, MAN.

YOU LEAVE, I LET HER GO.

IF YOU DON'T, I'M GOING TO WASTE HER.

CAN'T WE TALK THIS OUT?

NO!

SHE DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF TIME LEFT.

SHUT UP!

THERE'S A TREE IN THE BACK YARD.

I CAN GET TO THE SECOND FLOOR.

YOU THINK NOBODY'S WATCHING OUT THE BACK WINDOW?

LISTEN TO ME AND DON'T SCREW UP.

RED'S YOUR COLOR.

THAT'S IT.

YOU COPS JUST BLEW IT.

Penhall: COME ON, MAN.

IT'S NOT WORTH IT.

LET'S TALK.

NO TALK!

SHE'S DEAD!

Pryor: HEY, WHAT IS THAT?

YOU SMELL THAT?

( knocking )

IS THIS PART OF THE FIELD PROBLEM?

( pounding at door )

SOMEBODY CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

WE GOT A FIRE HERE.

HOSTAGE SAFE AND SOUND, SIR.

I GOT TO TELL YOU, COACH

MAYBE I DID MISS SOMETHING WHEN I WAS A KID--

TAKING CARE OF MY MOM AFTER MY FATHER WAS KILLED.

BUT THESE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS...

SEEING BUCKINS, WRESTLING A BEAR

GETTING A TATTOO, EVEN GOING TO JAIL...

IT WASN'T BAD.

YOU'RE A LITTLE RIPE

FOR YOUR TEENAGE REBELLION STAGE, HANSON.

NOBODY'S SAYING YOU CAN'T TAKE A FEW DAYS

RELIEVE THE PRESSURES.

IT GETS TO EVERYBODY.

BUT YOU WERE WAY OUT OF LINE.

YOU BLEW OFF MY ORDERS AND I.A.D.

AND YOU NEARLY LET LAFKO WALK ON AN ATTEMPTED MURDER CHARGE.

I'M SORRY.

SORRY ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH.

YOU WANT MY BADGE?

IS THAT WHAT YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WANT TO DO?

YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT I FEEL?

I'M TIRED OF PUTTING MY BUTT ON THE LINE

FOR COMPLETE STRANGERS.

IF THEY WANT TO DO DRUGS, FINE!

IF THEY WANT TO CRACK UP AT 100 MILES AN HOUR, FINE!

LET THEM KILL EACH OTHER.

MAYBE SOMEDAY

I WANT TO GET MARRIED, HAVE A KID.

I DON'T WANT TO MISS ANYTHING.

ALL RIGHT, LOOK.

YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG, HANSON.

FORTUNATELY NOBODY DIED.

I CAN MAKE A FEW CALLS...

STRAIGHTEN THINGS OUT WITH I.A.D.

GET YOU SOME TIME OFF.

I DON'T THINK IT WILL MATTER.

I'VE TYPED UP MY LETTER OF RESIGNATION

AT LEAST A HALF A DOZEN TIMES.

GIVE IT SOME TIME BEFORE YOU CALL IT A CAREER.

AND HANSON?

YOU'RE NOT RUSSELL BUCKINS.

I KNOW.

YOU GOING HOME?

I DON'T THINK SO.

( knocking )

YOU FORGET YOUR CAR KEYS, HONEY?

HONEY?

TOMMY.

YOU REMEMBERED.

I NEVER FORGOT.

MISS RYDER, COULD YOU GIVE ME A FEW MINUTES?

CERTAINLY.

CAN YOU COME IN?

ONLY FOR A YEAR OR TWO.

BUCKY SAID YOU WERE COMING AND THEN YOU WEREN'T COMING.

I WAS AND THEN I WASN'T.

NOW I'M HERE.

YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL, DEB.

I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE STANDING ON A CAKE.

OKAY, LOOK, HERE'S THE DEAL.

WE FIND A HOUSE, WE BUY SOME CLOTHES

WE BUY SOME FOOD, AND WE GET THIS THING RIGHT.

YOU'VE GOT GREAT TIMING, TOMMY.

I'M A LATE BLOOMER, SORRY.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY I'M HERE.

LOOK, I BETTER GO.

TOMMY?

DON'T GO YET.

DEBBIE, I KNOW THIS IS GOING

TO SOUND CRAZY, BUT, UM...

MAYBE YOU SHOULD POSTPONE THE WEDDING.

YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS; IT'S FOUR HOURS AWAY.

I KNOW, BUT I AM.

THIS IS IT, DEB.

TOMMY, WE CAN'T.
