(when I dissect the first section, for me it makes sense to imagine the show he was watching was a romantic movie in which they threw caution to the wind, and went against the grain of "good society" or the norm, for love.) Also "hell" could work but I think it's "help" (also I picture from these lyrics and different hints, that he would be represented by a cliche wealthy, lonely businessman)
First section about TV show - He realises, though he has material possession, how empty his life is "leave everything that is worth a single cent" "found out that I have nothing". Knows he needs love not possessions. And longs for it. For his life to be broken into and him taken captive / stolen. "...just take me instead" and "had me on my knees praying... for a felon" He feels trapped and wants to be saved from the boring, legalistic trap of a life he's living. (hense the police metaphor)
and he doesn't want the uptight, rules and responsibilities side of him to catch up and bring him back to where he was before he found love.
second section: Is about the planning of the felony (kidnapping or whatever you like to call it) Is about how he's realising he was made for this lifestyle.
And that the felons (my opinion it could be girls who are not afraid of love and going after it) could tell and though he looked and acted a certain way, they weren't fooled by who was hiding underneath. That in reality, he was one of them, "killing their stolen son" but was stolen by the pressures and expectations thrown on him by those around him and the world. and so planned to kidnap him, to get him back so to speak.
And so he doesn't want to police to know. (old life).
