>> 255, I going to need crime scene.

>> Just saw him now. He got a gun.

>> On the wall. On the wall. On the wall.

>> What you found?

>> We got four bags of what appears to be marijuana.

>> I, myself, always thought addiction is a physical thing.

>> Oh, they done robbed them and took the car.

>> Where they hit you?

>> When's the last time you smoked a rock?

Why your fingertips all burnt up, huh?

I make a living in the movies,

but for the past 20 years...

>> 11, 825, code 6.

>> I've also been a cop.

And along with some of the finest deputies on the force,

I serve the people of Jefferson Parish, Louisiana.

Steven Seagal: Lawman 1x09 Crack War Original Air Date on January 6, 2010

>> We're gonna take a little run up here

in an area that's prone to some problems

with narcotics trafficking.

>> There's a lot of different crack activity.

>> Hey, guys, listen up.

Just got a call in reference to a 103

involving three individuals fighting.

They're also reporting

a possible stolen vehicle's involved.

>> Let's go. >> Let's go.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Heading to the west bank now.

kind of really have to be on our toes here.

Some of the areas here have turned really bad since Katrina.

Tremendous amount of narcotics, prostitution, guns.

We want to get there as soon as we can there

to defuse the situation before anybody goes to the hospital.

>> Yeah, he said they all ran down the street.

>> They got some people down the street right now.

>> That's them up there, y'all.

Everybody be careful. It's time to go to work.

>> Where y'all going?

>> Oh, they done robbed them and took the car.

>> My car right now.

>> He got beat up?

Put your head down.

Where they hit you?

>> He's got a bump on his head right there.

>> One guy?

Two guys.

>> Two guys. You saw their face?

>> Yeah.

>> Mexican guy says to the black guy,

"I'm gonna give you $10. You go buy me some beer.

I'm gonna loan you my car."

Black guy borrows his car,

goes to supposedly buy him some beer,

and all of a sudden, he gets out of the car

for some reason,

and somebody hits him on the head,

and the car goes missing.

>> He don't have no driver's license or nothing.

You know that?

>> I can't see how you let him use that

with no license or nothing.

He's too nice.

>> Yeah, he's too nice. >> That's too nice.

>> What we have here sometimes in situations similar to this

is, it's called a rock rental.

And basically, someone loans the vehicle

to someone who wants to go score drugs.

In return, instead of paying up cash, they pay him drugs.

So that may be the case here, but we really don't know.

And certainly if this man is a legitimate victim,

then we want to treat him like that.

>> Did you rock rental his car?

>> No weapons?

>> When's the last time you smoked a rock?

Huh?

>> Where you work at? Put your hands out like this.

Huh?

You don't work, huh?

Why your fingertips all burnt up, huh?

I thought you just told me you don't work.

>> So the guy is saying he didn't do anything wrong,

but somehow nothing adds up.

>> And this is where years of police work

and knowing how to interview somebody

kind of, you know, can help you.

>> If you are lying, then you will go to jail

for filing a false report.

If you stopped and you was talking to somebody

and they took your car, that's fine.

If you gave them the car, that's fine.

But don't talk about somebody robbed your car.

Think about it. Think about it.

>> This guy really does have a bump on his head.

He's saying it wasn't a rock rental.

We're not sure what's going on.

We're gonna just try to investigate

a little bit further.

I'm gonna look for your car.

Let's get out of here, y'all.

And it was a white Toyota?

Oh, right here.

>> That's it, t-top. It's right here.

>> Eric, y'all come back down here with the victim.

>> Tell him the keys are in it too.

>> He came down the block from where they were last seen,

and obviously the victim's vehicle is right here.

>> We just found the car right up the street

from the place where he says it was stolen.

>> This guy's denying buying drugs,

and we haven't found any on him.

He's gonna go home.

At this point, it seems like everybody's

feeling a little bit better.

There's guys that are selling the rocks,

and then there's the guys that are shooting crack.

Those guys are really getting so mentally dehabilitated

that, you know, they can't even function other than,

where could they get the money for their next fix?

Having spent so much time in Hollywood,

I've seen a lot of good friends and people

where their lives just completely spiral out of control

due to drugs and alcohol.

That's why I feel like rehabilitation programs

are so important.

>> Hello. How are you?

>> Uh-huh, all right. >> How you been?

>> Larry.

>> Good afternoon.

John Fortunato, Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office.

>> This is called Bridge House.

It's a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.

We're about to get a tour of the whole facility

and meet some of the people who are living here

and see what they're going through.

>> We work with people who have lost everything,

Who have alienated themselves from family, employment, friends

and have nowhere else to go.

>> Here's somebody who is reaching out to people

in tremendous need of somebody that has some answers

and that can lead them into a program

to give them stability.

>> This is Jeff and Dwight.

>> Recovering alcoholic and drug addicts?

>> Yes, sir.

>> What do you guys feel like is the single most hardest thing

in being able to stay clean?

>> I guess it's dealing with emotional aspects.

I've been here approximately nine months now,

and the freedom that I feel since I've been here--

I've lost a lot of fear and anxiety in my life.

>> It's not a physical addiction

as much as spiritual and emotional stability.

I've never really thought about how important those things are

in terms of having the strength

to be able to jump back up and own yourself again.

I think, a lot of times,

people start drinking and getting on drugs

because they're very unhappy with their life

and they don't feel like they have a job

or something to do or anything that they can accomplish.

>> It's called escape.

When I really admitted that I was an addict, my life changed,

and it's because I'm here.

>> I've always said that you can't go get help for a problem

until you admit or you're ready to just acknowledge

that you have a problem.

>> No one can do it. You've got to do it yourself.

>> Ain't that right?

I'm proud of y'all.

>> Thank you.

>> And my guys are proud of you.

>> Thank you very much.

>> The power of the mind is infinite.

And all of these people that we're seeing

have tremendous potential

to become something so much greater than they are.

The Bridge House is giving them

a tremendous amount of opportunity.

I think that they really have the potential

to become that which they aspire to.

Come out here, Buzz.

We applaud him.

It's pretty obvious,

without him, this place wouldn't be here.

>> We really appreciate all you do for this community.

And anything we can do, please don't hesitate to ask.

>> Thank you.

>> Well, thank you for thinking of us.

>> Speaking of one thing we could do,

I'm going to volunteer one of my warriors

to participate in the legs contest.
