Steven Seagal: Lawman (2009) s01e01 Episode Script
The Way of the Gun
Jefferson Parish 911 Operator.
(man) Yeah.
and the truck saw a body in the driveway.
He's laying on the ground? He's about 5'3.
" about 140.
255, I going to need crime scene.
Just saw him now.
He got a gun.
[siren wails.]
Come on.
Get him, Johnny! Get him! .
270 caliber is a very, very fast round.
Taser! Taser! Taser! Everybody up! Everybody calm down.
You ain't have to worry about him, brother.
He's gone.
This is Mr.
Seagal.
Can we get an autograph or something? All right.
That's a big hand.
The Zen masters in Zen archery, They don't pull the arrow; they push the arrow.
It's the same with that pistol.
See how it goes right where I want it? I make a living in the movies, but for the past 20 years [police radio chatter.]
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.
My name is Steven Seagal.
All units respond.
That's right.
Steven Seagal: Deputy sheriff.
Where's Lawrence at? He's coming, sir.
You got warrants for me? Yes, sir.
All right.
Any felony warrants? All of them.
Bank fraud, forgery.
It's going to be bad for somebody.
Ok, gentlemen.
Roll call.
You know, it would be nice if you stood behind a podium for a change.
Yeah, man.
None of y'all better clap.
None of you.
[laughs.]
Roll call is usually to try to find out the different things that are going on out there that we may encounter, that we need to be cognizant of.
Patrol request in reference to a 62-c.
Intelligence is golden.
The more we know about what's happening out there, the safer we are.
Suspect one is a black male.
with long dreadlocks.
Suspect two by the time I'd become a police officer, I had alrey been studying the martial arts for most of my life.
I got involved in the movie business and was down in the South, and the late, great Harry Lee, who was the sheriff of Jefferson Parish, asked me then to demonstrate martial arts weapons retention to some of the police officers down here, and he was so pleased with what I was doing, he asked me to come onto the force and be one of his cops.
He's been identified as the shooter on Commerce Street from several nights ago.
So there is a warrant out for him? Yes, sir.
It can be very dangerous out on these streets, but nothing is more important to me than protecting the people of this parish and honoring the name of Harry Lee.
That's one of the many reasons why I'm willing to put myself in harm's way and be a good cop.
Be careful out there.
Come back at the end of the shift.
Y'all be careful.
All right, let's saddle up.
We travel in two SUVs: Johnny, Larry, and me in one; Alex and Lawrence in the other.
We go into the worst neighborhoods and try to make our presence felt and step on the crime as best we can.
These are the 'jects, you know.
these are the projects.
And there's always a lot of, uh, illegal activity along here.
So we're just cruising to make sure everybody's all right.
As a lifelong practitioner of the martial arts, we're constantly trained to remain calm in the face of adversity and danger.
When the world is speeding by for others, I see things for what they are.
A cock of the head, a foot planted forward or back, a flick of the wrist: They all tell me something.
Whether somebody is going to fight, pull a gun, or run.
21-54, right 72.
They got a carjacking just happened, you heard? Roger that.
Let's go! [siren wails.]
The victim was carjacked by a man with a rifle.
We're going to join the other units in pursuit.
That's him right there.
The white car.
The white car.
Get up on that [bleep.]
! Oh, get him Johnny! Get him! 17 headquarters.
We're in route to that 64.
Go to the right.
Steven, let me drive.
Just telling you where the holes are.
Watch this guy.
You're good.
clear right.
Clear right.
Ee maxed out on this car.
She's locking up on us.
At this speed, one false move, and any of us could be dead.
We're approaching Stumpf Boulevard.
Okay, slow down.
He's going to jump off somewhere.
We got a lot of units here ready to box this guy in.
They're blocked in.
That's what I'm talking about! Where he at? Where he at? It's a carjacking, And we're trying to catch the perpetrator.
They're blocked in.
Where he at? Where he at? All right, heads-up.
Don't forget, he's got a gun.
I got him! Taser! Taser! Taser! Taze him! Taze him! Taze him! Taze him! Everybody up! Everybody up! Taser.
Taser! Taser! Taser! Everybody off! All right! Everybody calm down.
Handcuffs! Calm down.
We got him! Relax.
Put him against the car.
Spread your legs! A mask.
You have the right to remain silent.
anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
Extremely high-speed pursuit.
He jumps out the car with a .
270 winchester rifle, Bolt action, one live round in the chamber.
Watch your head.
Get in the car.
He was taken down.
We had to taze him because he continued to resist.
The weapon has been recovered, and we're going to do some dispo checks on the weapon and the vehicle.
The suspect allegedly took the car at gunpoint from a female.
One of our unmarked units got behind the vehicle, and the subject started running.
I must have passed 37 cars and that big truck.
Big silver had him.
The subject came out the car with this gun, but he dropped it eventually.
.
270 caliber is a very, very fast round.
It will go through most vests, and a big enemy of the police.
This was in the back of his pants when they pulled it out earlier.
I pulled it out of his pocket.
This look like Jason's.
It's a very, very simple marking of somebody who's fixing to do bad things.
Let's go.
Larry, Alex, come on.
Let's roll.
We got work to do.
The way we look at it is, every gun we get off the street is a gun that can't be used to kill us, the police, or other innocent people who would be robbed, carjacked.
These guys don't have guns just for fun.
They have them to use them.
Once a year, every officer has to qualify with firearm in order to use their pistol on duty.
And the next week is Alex's test.
See how it goes right where I want it? Yes, sir.
Right there.
if I don't pass weapons qualification, I definitely don't want to be behind a desk.
I heard Chief Seagal is a heck of a shot, and I'm going to ask him for pointers to help me knock off the rust.
I'm going to start up close, shoot a bullet hole.
He's supposed to try to shoot it in the bullet hole.
Put in the same hole.
Damn.
I'm trying to pass on some of the secrets that have made me a master shooter.
I don't want to just help Alex pass his test, but I want him be a better marksman for life.
All right.
You ready? Damn.
Both in the same hole, buddy.
Here's you.
I want you to do this.
Yeah.
Bleed.
Bleed.
Yeah, that's right.
Oh! I really didn't want this hole to get bigger than a silver dollar.
I want you to take that front sight.
I want you to put that right there.
Squeeze.
Same hole.
Whoa! See how it jerked like that? Yes, sir.
Don't let it jerk.
Oh, guess who's buying beer tonight, boy.
Damn.
Chief's were all right there.
I shot all of these.
He knows what he's doing, and he knows how to put lead on target.
Let's do something else to warm up.
Just like zen archery or something, It's a kind of a meditation for some people, being able to, you know, just really concentrate on being masterful with your discipline.
When you want to really build confidence in yourself, you want to show yourself what you can do ultimately.
And ultimately I think I can shoot the tip off these.
When you are really a good shot, once in a while, you can light a match, nut that's some super shooting there, boy.
There's your first one.
You know, being a lifelong practitioner of the martial arts, I try to teach everybody not to fight the recoil of the weapon but more to become one with the weapon and let it be an extension of their body.
All right, let me see if I can start to get good here.
I'm going to aim for the match now.
Blew the top of it off, but not good enough.
I want to light it.
Sometimes you win; sometimes you lose.
After what I've seen today, he could take a gnat off a fly's ass.
You're going to shoot good this time.
Don't jerk the gun.
Just push the bullet out.
Oh, yeah.
Just push it out there.
Yeah, look at that.
Look at that.
From the time he started till the time we finished, I felt like he learned something.
Just relax.
Don't bend your knees too much.
He stopped flinching.
He changed his body position.
He was pointing better and, I think, pulling the trigger better.
You see the difference? Yes, sir.
This is a much better group.
Expert.
Novice.
No, you're not a novice.
You got the asian kind of Zen lesson.
You're not doing this anymore; you're doing this.
Well, Alex, that was a good range session, but let's get back on patrol.
29046, Apartments 1201.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! What's that lady saying? Is she flagging us down? What you need? The owners of this little neighborhood bar are upset.
They're saying that this young man is hurting their business because he was drunk and causing trouble with other patrons.
People leaving because he cutting up, and I'm trying to get him out.
Drunk people can be dangerous, so we just have to really be on our toes.
What did you do? Nothing? So why did why they talking like that? Huh? They stupid? Was he fighting or what? well, no, he started messing with women.
You know feel on them the wrong way.
So I told him, I said, "well you got to go.
" you causing a problem.
You had too much to drink.
We convinced him to go home and sleep it off.
You ain't have to worry about him, brother.
He's gone.
Thank you, man.
I'm really happy.
Not all of our calls are as dangerous as a carjacking.
I'd like to solve problems with humor and just kindness rather than having to use force.
Wait.
This is Mr.
Seagal.
Can we get an autograph or something? I want to shake your hand.
All right, that's a big hand! Sometimes I forget Steven's a big movie star.
I consider him one of us, part of the team.
But when people start coming around, they recognize him, they ask him for his autographs, It reminds me, He is a movie star, and that's pretty cool.
They said, "when you see him, say 'do-do-do-do-do.
'" Let's get out of here.
Come on.
The Martial Art that I practice is called Aikido.
It literally translated as "the way of peace and harmony.
" When we patrol these neighborhoods that are infamous for burglaries, shootings, and narcotics, what we're really trying to do is take away the violence, Take away the bad guys and restore harmony.
All right.
We just got a report of some 107s.
That means suspicious persons.
Let's see what those guys are doing.
Copy that.
If they run, chase them down and Johnny and I will cut them off at the pass.
10-4.
Watch this guy's hands they're running.
Watch out! Let's catch these [bleep.]
, Johnny.
Hold on.
Better stop, or you're going to get tazed! Several suspects inside and outside of the location.
Watch this guy's hands.
Maybe he's moving now.
They're running.
Guys, you guys jump out, and we'll corner him with the car.
Hold on.
Quick! Quick! Quick! Quick! Better stop, or you're going to get tazed! Larry, where you at? One of the suspects fled.
Larry's in pursuit.
The question is, how do we get through there? Larry, where you at? We've lost radio contact with Larry.
This is a very dangerous situation.
We've got to find him as soon as we can.
No, we're going to just go around.
Come on.
All right.
We're just trying to get around the corner so we can go see where they are.
Come on, we're going around the block this way.
Let me see your hands! You all right, Larry? Get on the ground! What you running for? Get on the ground! And you're all about to whoop me.
You a convicted felon? Yes, sir.
Oh, that's why you're running.
Can't run no more, huh? He kind of ran right in front of our truck.
So I put the truck in park, and I was able to get out.
The subject went to jump a fence, but he couldn't make it.
We grabbed him, put him on the ground, and right where he was laying, they had a silver and black semiautomatic handgun.
Where the gun? You all found it? Yeah, it was right here.
Back up.
Back up.
We're going to have it dusted for fingerprints, and we're checking for any other contraband he might have threw down.
Marijuana.
That must have been what he had.
I'm thinking he's just about to, like, whip my ass and throw me on the car, so I just ran.
I got scared.
He dropped the gun.
That's what he's running from.
Why he ran.
What kind of gun you have? What kind of gun you have? Okay, I'll tell you what you're going to do.
You keep your face down and you tell the deputies the way it is.
Hey, stay down the street, partner.
You all just turn around.
Turn around and go back up the street.
This is getting really hinky right now, Johnny.
Look at these guys.
Look at them.
The reason why the individuals kept getting closer and closer to the prisoner is because they wanted to let him know if he said the wrong thing, they would be extremely unhappy.
I said turn around and go back up the street.
I'm only going to tell you one time.
They're liable to walk up to this guy and pop him in the car.
That's what I'm worried about.
Criminals usually prey on weakness.
They can smell it.
Those of us who have studied the martial arts as long as I have, we can usually see those kind of predators.
We need to get him out of here.
We don't have no room in here.
Put him in this one.
Even though the kid never told us anything, we're still going to have to move him to safety.
We'll take him down to the station and question him there.
All right, let's saddle up.
[gunshots.]
It's time for Alex to sight arm qualification.
I went over with him kind of a Zen method of breathing and sight picture and posture and hand grips and stance.
If he fails, he could end up on desk duty, so he really needs to pass this.
Let's see how well he does.
Body position is everything.
In terms of being able to really have beautiful stability.
your elbows, your hips.
Just let it fly right where it's supposed to go.
The Zen masters in Zen archery too, they don't pull the arrow, they push the arrow, and it's the same with that pistol.
You draw, and you just, just push it and just guide it.
All right, you see how steady I am? You notice that.
Don't try to do anything.
Don't try.
Alex gets 60 shots.
and in order to qualify, he must make 96 points or better to pass.
Remember, when the target faces you, draw your weapon, approach your barricade, and commence firing.
Watch your target.
Police, don't move! If a police officer is not prepared, as a last result, to use his weapon, he shouldn't be a police officer.
Right, next stage of firings going to be 12 rounds, [gunshots.]
And, uh, we'll check his target.
Man, I think that lesson helped you, buddy.
We'll see in a couple seconds, Chief.
whoo! Came close.
You know, I don''t know about your score, but if this were on the street and that's the way you shot, he's dead.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
You get to keep your weapon.
And you can buy us a hamburger tonight.
There's a lot of sense of relief, you know.
At least it's over with.
Pressure was on, and at least I qualified, so I'm happy about that.
I ain't mad at that.
Some real good shooting.
(man) Yeah.
and the truck saw a body in the driveway.
He's laying on the ground? He's about 5'3.
" about 140.
255, I going to need crime scene.
Just saw him now.
He got a gun.
[siren wails.]
Come on.
Get him, Johnny! Get him! .
270 caliber is a very, very fast round.
Taser! Taser! Taser! Everybody up! Everybody calm down.
You ain't have to worry about him, brother.
He's gone.
This is Mr.
Seagal.

Can't run no more, huh? He kind of ran right in front of our truck.
So I put the truck in park, and I was able to get out.
The subject went to jump a fence, but he couldn't make it.
We grabbed him, put him on the ground, and right where he was laying, they had a silver and black semiautomatic handgun.
Where the gun? You all found it? Yeah, it was right here.
Back up.
Back up.
We're going to have it dusted for fingerprints, and we're checking for any other contraband he might have threw down.
Marijuana.
That must have been what he had.
I'm thinking he's just about to, like, whip my ass and throw me on the car, so I just ran.
I got scared.
He dropped the gun.
That's what he's running from.
Why he ran.
What kind of gun you have? What kind of gun you have? Okay, I'll tell you what you're going to do.
You keep your face down and you tell the deputies the way it is.
Hey, stay down the street, partner.
You all just turn around.
Turn around and go back up the street.
This is getting really hinky right now, Johnny.
Look at these guys.
Look at them.
The reason why the individuals kept getting closer and closer to the prisoner is because they wanted to let him know if he said the wrong thing, they would be extremely unhappy.
I said turn around and go back up the street.
I'm only going to tell you one time.
They're liable to walk up to this guy and pop him in the car.
That's what I'm worried about.
Criminals usually prey on weakness.
They can smell it.
Those of us who have studied the martial arts as long as I have, we can usually see those kind of predators.
We need to get him out of here.
We don't have no room in here.
Put him in this one.
Even though the kid never told us anything, we're still going to have to move him to safety.
We'll take him down to the station and question him there.
All right, let's saddle up.
[gunshots.]
It's time for Alex to sight arm qualification.
I went over with him kind of a Zen method of breathing and sight picture and posture and hand grips and stance.
If he fails, he could end up on desk duty, so he really needs to pass this.
Let's see how well he does.
Body position is everything.
In terms of being able to really have beautiful stability.
your elbows, your hips.
Just let it fly right where it's supposed to go.
The Zen masters in Zen archery too, they don't pull the arrow, they push the arrow, and it's the same with that pistol.
You draw, and you just, just push it and just guide it.
All right, you see how steady I am? You notice that.
Don't try to do anything.
Don't try.
Alex gets 60 shots.
and in order to qualify, he must make 96 points or better to pass.
Remember, when the target faces you, draw your weapon, approach your barricade, and commence firing.
Watch your target.
Police, don't move! If a police officer is not prepared, as a last result, to use his weapon, he shouldn't be a police officer.
Right, next stage of firings going to be 12 rounds, [gunshots.]
And, uh, we'll check his target.
Man, I think that lesson helped you, buddy.
We'll see in a couple seconds, Chief.
whoo! Came close.
You know, I don''t know about your score, but if this were on the street and that's the way you shot, he's dead.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
You get to keep your weapon.
And you can buy us a hamburger tonight.
There's a lot of sense of relief, you know.
At least it's over with.
Pressure was on, and at least I qualified, so I'm happy about that.
I ain't mad at that.
Some real good shooting.
