Our Guys: Outrage at Glen Ridge

- Hey Bennett, that was a bad call on the play.

- Down right criminal, you ought to arrest the ref.

Get your new partner to do it.

New partner, where is he?

Coming out of the ladies room.

- I recognize her, she's from Glen Ridge right.

- She was our dispatcher, then went off to patrol

in Newark for 10 years, I can't think of a tougher job.

- You think she'd make your job a hell of a lot easier.

Hey, just made the biggest nicotine

bust in homecoming history.

- Detective Brooks, Jack Scherzer, Doug Archer.

Pleased to meet you.

Hey.

It's 'bout time they start hiring

better looking cops around here.

I'll take that as a compliment.

- Yeah the department's changing its image.

Now a bad hair day is grounds for suspension.

- So, why you'd ever leave Glen Ridge for Newark.

Something about being a real cop huh?

Maybe, Newark was a little too real.

Well the most dangerous thing

around here is writing speeding tickets.

Welcome back.

Thanks.

Paul, Paul, I love you Paul!

They're great!

Great, what they're losers,

they lost seven out of nine games.

Hey Burnett, you're the loser all right.

Clown.

Hey.

Hey how many times I got to tell you,

throw the ball to your own team.

- Hey at least he completed a pass to somebody.

This is Detective Brooks.

Hi.

Now I remember why everyone always

wanted to be a football player around here.

- You guys get in trouble, you deal with her from now on.

- Well I guess the crime rate's gonna go up.

I should just arrest you all right now.

On what charge?

Impersonating football players.

Oh now I'm worry guys.

You still got the rest of the town.

- And the homecoming king is, Bryant Grover.

Paul, would you dance with me?

But there's no music.

Oh come on, it doesn't matter.

No, I don't think so.

Hi Daddy.

Hi sweetie, you had fun tonight?

Oh boy it was so cool.

And I danced with a bunch of really cute guys

and I think Paul Archer has a crush on me.

Wait here I'll be back.

- Well what's the hurry your majesty?

- Greetings my good man, actually I was just

rushing to a little soiree with my other subject.

- Barry, you got to be very careful back there,

she may penalize you for holding.

That's very funny officer.

What's the problem?

- Oh just a small case of exhibitionist speeding.

Well after that game we were running

from an alumni lynch mob.

Not a bad idea, is it Barry?

No sir it's not.

Well Barry he's gone,

you can stop kissing your pot goodbye.

Consider yourselves lucky.

- Oh tonight these boys will be getting very lucky.

Come on.

Looks like you guys are buying, again.

It's great to have you back Kel.

What are we eating?

We're eating salad, the fullback there

has put on a couple of pounds since his glory days.

Something's up at the high school.

- I overheard Carl talking about a rumor going around.

He said Leslie was involved in a group sex

type of situation two weeks ago.

Leslie Faber.

Yeah.

- She's the girl who was dancing alone at homecoming.

She's retarded.

Tell 'em what you heard Carl.

- Supposedly she was with some guys from the football team.

What guys?

Well I wasn't there, but I heard it was

Paul and Chris Archer, the Scherzer twins,

Peter Quigley, and Bryant Groper.

I guess they took her to a party in the Scherzer's

basement and did things to her with a broom.

And a baseball bat.

Excuse me, how is that even possible?

Carl where did you hear this?

- Kevin, he knows I work in the AV department.

He asked me to borrow a Super 8 camera because they

were gonna do it again and they wanted to film it.

This is a bad joke.

- Why would that kid Kevin start a rumor like that?

He was pulling Carl's leg, it's obvious.

Kevin has a sick sense of humor.

So there's no way it could've happened?

No chance.

The girl has problems.

Sometimes it's hard to tell.

The school system couldn't handle her,

she had to go to special ed in West Orange.

These are the good kids, they can get any girl they want.

She's in a fantasy world.

- Maybe we should talk to 'em, put nothing to it.

- Oh we got to clear it with the county prosecutors first.

I was trying to get out of Newark.

- Excuse me, we're looking for the head prosecutor

for the sexual assault and rape analysis team.

- Yes, Mr. Laurino's suite is right this way.

Yo Bobby.

Yeah.

A couple of cops want to see ya.

These are serious allegations.

Well like we said, we're not

saying this actually happened.

Well, then what are you saying?

We're just following procedures.

I've known these kids their whole lives.

There's nothing here.

Plus, they're having a tough enough season as it is.

- Well if you've known these boys their whole lives

and this is what you gotta watch out for,

you don't want anything in this

investigation to be perceived as biased.

- Hey, I've been a cop for 20 years, I know the drill.

- Mr. Laurino, we all just want the truth here.

Please it's Bob, and we'll do

everything we can to help you.

- Hello Mr. Bennett, hi you're really pretty.

Thank you, so are you.

Evening Ros, sorry to bother you.

Hi Frank, come in.

- We were told Leslie did some things with the boys.

Sexual things, sorry but we need to check it out.

We know about this already.

You do?

Her guidance counselor called

after hearing the rumor from her swim coach.

- We asked Leslie about it, she said that absolutely

nothing happened, she made the whole thing up.

Why would she do that?

Somebody probably was making fun of her

and she went along with her in order to fit in.

See, she wants friends more than anything.

- So she hasn't said anything about the boys?

- Oh just that she was dancing with them at homecoming.

- We saw Leslie that night, she was dancing by herself.

Well my daughter will say anything

in order to make herself seem popular.

- Just to be thorough, could she make a statement tomorrow?

Okay.

- So you know why you're here Leslie?

Uh-huh(affirmative).

Because of all the stuff that people are saying about me.

- I heard some boys invited you to a party.

No, it was just Chris.

Chris, Chris Archer.

Paul's so handsome, Paul's my hero.

Did Paul invite you to ...
