Whoa! don't make a false move, you hear me? 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.
code 94-G.
Shots fired.
My name is Steven Seagal.
All units respond.
That's right.
Steven Seagal: Deputy sheriff.
♪ every time, do, do, do, do, do ♪ come on, John.
me and my team are out here on patrol.
Johnny, Larry, and me patrol the front, and then we send Alex and Lawrence up the back.
Hang on.
Hang on.
Hang on.
Let me just look at these guys for a second.
Because of great work with the sheriff's office, the overall crime level in Jefferson Parish has fallen.
The people will count on us to never be complacent about keeping the streets safe.
two-year-old just got hit by a car off Pailet.
man.
That's very bad news.
It doesn't matter how long you've been on the force or how bad you are.
It never gets any easier seeing children get hurt.
Jump up, y'all.
that's a child hit.
Lord, have mercy.
We're up the street from it, and we're en route to see if we can render assistance, any kind of first aid.
where it at, guys? Where it at? Is the baby all right? Where the baby got hit? this is him? Is he hit? who was driving the car? how far you hit her? Well, they say you hit the kid.
this guy here? yes, sir.
He say he didn't hit him.
come here, buddy.
You see this lady right here? She said that she saw you hit that boy.
he was hit, okay? No.
No, no, no.
Come on, now.
No, no, no, no, no.
Keep it real.
You swung around, but you still hit him! after the fact.
you still hit him, though.
the martial art that I practice is called Aikido, Which is all about harmony and oneness, and there's an awful lot of arguing going on here, so I'm gonna see if I can promote a little harmony.
I need him checked.
My baby.
that's your baby? Where mama? come on, piggy.
Come on, piggy, come on.
there is a possibility that based on the child being so small that if you were driving, you wouldn't even recognize him.
Right, but we got the ambulance coming.
The ambulance will be able to tell.
they said this baby got hit by a car.
Contusion at the top of the head and blood coming out the nose, But if we could just get an idea If he had any kind of a concussion or something.
he was out in the street? He was running across the street? There's a couple of things wrong here.
What's a baby running out in the middle of the street at this time of night? How did mama let him go? she said the car hit him with the bumper.
right.
right here.
I think if that damage would have come from hitting a two-year-old child no, I'm talking about the little marks on the dirty spot.
Well, he would have went under that car.
yeah, he would have went under that car.
what the lady just told the head E.
M.
S.
on scene, the baby ran out in the street and ran straight into the car.
And that would make sense 'cause all he's got is a bruise on his forehead.
right.
she's the mama.
are you the mama? yes.
E.
M.
S.
, what you think? you better get him looked at, you hear? okay.
all right.
And these little children, they fast, boy.
Somebody got to keep an eye on them, You know what I'm saying? You just really never let them out your sight.
So at this point, I'm pretty convinced that the baby wandered out into the street in front of the car, So the driver's free to go.
Luckily this time, the baby's okay.
So I'm happy this one worked out okay.
Tomorrow we're going to be visiting New Orleans Children's Hospital, and those children need our help more than ever.
Well, this is New Orleans Children's Hospital.
For about 25 years, I've gone to children's hospitals all over the world.
As long as I'm alive, I'll keep doing this.
How y'all doing? all right.
can everybody say hi Hi.
to Mr.
Seagal? hello.
for me, this is the hardest thing in the world to do.
What do you think about that? Yet you don't want to let them see you cry or break down or feel disturbed or anything, Because that would then upset them.
thank you, everybody! so you have to wear sunglasses and really make a strong face all the time.
Look at those faces.
You know, it's a good chance for many of them that there'll be more happy times.
Can I sit right here? yeah.
what you got, brother? uh-huh, well, it sounds to me like you're going to be doing good, brother.
Everybody need time for a break sometime, so you taking yours now.
That just mean later, you'll be busy all the time, You know what I mean? Yeah.
so what we're going to do is, I'm gonna clean your brush.
Try that.
I think if we can make one child smile, we did something.
okay, you can't go in.
Carl, you need to close the door, buddy.
unfortunately, me and my team can't fight disease.
What's going on, baby? But we, at the same time, can make their suffering A little bit easier by coming down and spending time with them.
So we're proud to get the chance to be able to do that.
That's our girl.
What's going on, sister? That's the girl.
what girl? that's the girl we pulled over for driving backwards.
did those guys just drop something? Johnny, put your lights on.
He dropped something.
yeah, wait, I don't know what Alex is doing.
He just told me to put my lights on.
Ask Lawrence what's the matter.
he sees something.
they got dope.
Go! come on, let's go.
go get him.
Go get him.
Go get him.
The one in the middle, right there.
which one? him, him.

Come here, all y'all.
Yo, come here! this one right here.

that one right there.
get your hands up there, man.
Alex? look at this here.
whoa.
cuff him quick.
Cuff him quick.
boy, don't make a false move, you hear me? stopped at a red light, see three young black males walking across the street.
At this time, I saw the one with the brown striped shirt do a little drop.
Then we stopped the subjects, and we're still doing an investigation as of now.
look at this here.
whoa! cuff him quick.
Cuff him quick.
boy, don't make a false move, you hear me? came up on him, threw this one guy up against the carGently.
And all of a sudden, it's a sawed-off shotgun.
Then I got a little bit unhappy.
Back him up a little bit.
To police officers, a shotgun is the ultimate nightmare.
You can blow somebody in half.
what you doing with the shotgun? Hello? What you doing with the shotgun? Just found it on the ground.
How y'all be finding guns? Boy, I never saw no like that.
It's just laying there, just laying on the ground? Bring him over here.
what you got there? You got that off him? Off him? This one? that's the one who threw it.
He had the gun and the dope.
on your knees, on your knees.
Cross your legs.
Just like that.
every single person I've ever caught, I said, "why did you run?" "because you scared me.
" Almost everybody I find with a gun, they found it.
mm, mm, mm.
Boy, you just throwed your little life away.
You know that, huh? You got a shotgun, sawed-off at that, in your possession, concealed.
I had just found Lord, have mercy.
I'm just telling you, You can say you found it all day.
It's under your clothes.
It's concealed.
A sawed-off shotgun, shh.
You just ain't ready for life yet.
It's a damn shame.
all right, sheriff, what do you want to do with these kids? how old is he? he's 17.
how old is he? 17 as well.
call his parents.
Tell them to come down here.
we're gonna charge the other young man with the possession of the sawed-off shotgun.
Both of these young men are still in high school.
So I decided to call their parents and have them come pick them up and counsel and release.
That's your mama? yeah.
oh, you the luckiest man on the face of the earth.
I'm praying for them every day that they will realize that hanging around with bad people, slinging guns, Is going to take them to the graveyard or the hospital or to prison.
I understand this is your son? Well, he's hanging with this boy here.
You don't know him? This is what he's got on him.
And let me tell you something.
This is a road to nowhere right here.
