Come on! Double time!

Let's go! Let's go! Come on!

Come on!

Come on.

Steady! Steady!

All right, guys. Move out! Let's go!

Where's stark and westlake?

Didn't make it.

Rudy too?

All three.

Oh, man! What happened?

Cuban soldiers caught us in a cross fire on the beach an hour after you guys took off.

Shit, man. That's bad, man. We're fucked now.

Fidel Castro, today, accused the United States of being behind yesterday's raid

On what appears to have been a drug processing plant some 30 miles south of Havana.

A force of some 20 men landed secretly--

twenty? What an insult, man. It sure felt like 50.

Three of the men were killed by Cuban military forces.

They've been tentatively identified as James stark, Kevin westlake

And Rudy Garcia, all from the U.S.

Why don't you talk about how many of them we killed, you bureaucratic bitch?

U.S. officials flatly deny any American involvement--

como tu madre, fidel, maricon?

which they believe was an independent venture utilizing mercenaries

And possibly financed by anti-Castro forces.

Officials went on the say that there was no way

Such a raid could have been launched--

in other words, we're out of a fucking job.

Shit, man! I got a mortgage to pay, bro.

Congress will launch a full investigation into the raid.

Deny American involvement? Deny that, motherfucker!

Hey, that's my TV, man! You couldn't just change the fuckin' channel?

I fuckin' changed the channel, motherfucker. Me and fuckin' Elvis.

Shit.

So what do we do now?

Nothin'.

We just wait.

Something'll come along.

Hey, get that fool! Get him!

I'll teach you, man!

Ohhhh! You ain't done yet.

Jerome, are you okay?

Get off of me, man. I don't need your help, dude.

Why don't you try me, man? Why don't you try me?

Mr. Tay! I want you out of here! Both of you, out!

Fuck you! Go to class!

You're not supposed to be here. Please go to class.

Go on! Get outta here!

What is it with you? You're determined to be o-t'd?

What? I'm standin' here. Why you always hasslin' me?

I'm not hassling you, Mr. Lacas.

I'm speaking to you because you're an intelligent man.

I need you to look at me for two minutes, Juan.

I've heard the speeches, Jane.

I don't make speeches. I'm speaking to you with respect as a person.

Well, you're no person to me, so back the fuck off. 'Cause if you don't--

if I don't what?

You'll fuckin' wish you did.

What were his exact words?

That if I didn't back off, I'd wish I did.

No, fucking wish you did.

Yes.

That's terrible.

But technically speaking, it doesn't constitute a direct threat.

You mean he didn't say he was gonna stab me with a kitchen knife at 4:15 P.M.

No, he didn't say that.

But his attitude was definitely threatening.

Come on. I can't o-t him for attitude.

Look, Claude, you know me. I don't quit on my kids.

But this guy is dangerous. The kids are scared of him.

And believe it or not, some of them are here to learn.

I agree. But I can't boot him out without definite proof of wrongdoing.

I don't want a lawsuit on my hands.

Fine. You want proof? I'll get you proof.

You bastard. Ohh!

I've never been so happy to see anybody in my whole life.

I missed you too. What's going on?

Oh, nothing. My students are trying to kill me. How are you? Mmm.

Hey, come here. Let me take care of it.

Come here.

Ohh! Ohh! Ohh!

Oh, shale!

Shale, you always had the greatest hands.

I missed you, carina.

Hey! What are you doing here anyway?

Aren't you supposed to be off on some secret mission?

No, they retired us.

Really? You okay with that?

No.

Ohhh! Ohhh!

What are you going to do?

I guess I'll be a stockbroker.

Yeah, right.

I could be a stockbroker.

Shale? Joey. Got a gig, man.

Meet me at 10:00 at the strip joint lickety split.

Hey, it's uzi night.

♪

Try your luck.

Joey. Joey! Tell me about the gig.

This guy's name is wolfson. He's a lawyer.

I hate lawyers.

He's money.

This guy's got a client who's looking for a trained crew.

Wants to meet you tomorrow, 10:00.

Trained crew for what?

That's what the meeting's for.

Aw, I don't know. I don't like it.

You don't even know what it is yet.

Drugs?

It's not drugs!

Now come on. I busted my ass to set this shit up.

Don't go in there and fuck it up.

When the world is giving you trouble, think John janus.

Soldier of fortune magazine calls him the ultimate mercenary.

And from Tripoli to Panama, he's proven it.

Piano wire,knives,artillery,

land mines, bayonets, helicopter repelling,

smoke jumping, parachuting, karate,

missiles, guns and his bare hands.

They don't call him a one-man army for nothing.

So when you want clean, private mercenary work

At reasonable rates, think John janus.

That was so hot!

Yeah, it really was. Who was the editor?

The guy that does rock videos.

Thanks, John.

Thank you.

Why don't you stay and watch Mr. Shale's reel?

I don't have a reel.

I see. Well, why don't I show John out?

Yeah.

All right.

John.

Thank you, Matt.

Get yourself a video, old timer.

Yeah. Thanks for coming.

Hey, really very impressive, we'll be in touch very soon.

All right. Thank you very much. See you now, sweet thing.

See ya soon, John.

Oh, god, that's better. I've been holding that for 20 minutes.

Thank you for sharing.

Ten grams of fiber every morning.

Flushes all the toxins right out of your system.

It's great. Regularity is the key.

You want some?

No, thanks. I flushed this morning.

Orange juice, decaf, tea?

No, thank you. Can we talk about the job at hand?

You're a real cut-to-the-chase kind of guy, huh, shale?

That's me. Thank you, dierdre.

Sure, Matt.

Well, good. I like that.

All right.

My client runs a large import business dealing in south American goods.

And obviously, his business depends on a steady flow of product.

Regularity's the key?

Very good. Exactly.

I mean, delays can cost you a large chunk of the market.

We're looking for trained soldiers who can guarantee the shipments

And who also have the ability to deal decisively with anyone who tries to interfere.

Like who, for instance?

Well, our competitors, certain government agencies--

which sometimes amounts to pretty much the same thing.

Ahhh. So, what you're looking for

Is a crew to protect your drug shipments,

possibly kill any rival dealers?

And maybe even government agents if they happen to get in the way?

Didn't I say you were a cut-to-the-chase kind of guy?

You don't want soldiers. You want killers.

You'll have to excuse me here, shale,

because I wasn't aware there was a difference.

Oh, there's a difference. You wanna know what the difference is?

Yeah. I'll play. You tell me what the difference is.

But I don't want any--

the difference is-- the difference is you're still breathing.

Hey, that cereal really does work.

What's with you?

I told you no drugs.

Did the plate in your head shift or something, shale?

That's all that's out there. What am I supposed to do? At least it's a job.

A job, Joey? A job?

You ever look up the word mercenary?

It's someone who works merely for money.

Everybody works for money.

It's not the money that bothers me. It's the merely.

Right.

Right. Darryl sherman. English and drama.

I'm Jim Smith. Good to meet you.

Uh, that's what I heard.

Life it too short to mess with the k.O.D.

I'm Hannah Dillon, school librarian.

I'm Jim Smith. Good to meet you.

Stay away from the coffee.

You drink it.

I'm immune.

Excuse me. What is the k.O.D.?

The kings of destruction. They're the top gang in the school.

Posse, please. You're so unhip.

Could they possibly have been responsible for what happened to miss hetzko?

It's possible.

Possible?

Nothing happens around here that isn't inspired by the k.O.D.,

or kod as I like to think of them.

Why would they have been after her?

Lacas threatened her. She wanted him transferred.

Juan lacas?

Yeah. Yeah, he's the leader of the k.O.D. He's a pain in the ass.

Why wasn't he just transferred?

Ask rolle. It was his decision.

Criticize rolle all you want. He was a cop. He knows the law.

No evidence, no case. Period.

That's right, Darryl. You keep the faith.

You know, if Hannah had her way, we'd go back to the days

When you could bludgeon a kid for lookin' at you cross-eyed.

I know. I went to school here.

So rolle was a cop, huh?

Yeah, the gang unit. You know, he's an amazing man, rolle.

Now.

Excuse me, Mr. Rolle?

I'm looking for Juan lacas's file, and the secretary said that you had it.

The file is under review at the moment, Mr.--

Smith.

Smith, right.

If it was petarusky, I'd remember. Come on.

Have a seat.

Speaking of unusual commitment,

how is it that a cop becomes a high school principal?

You want the short version?

I was at the Liberty city riots in 1980.

Not the best time to be a black cop in Miami.

You watch your own neighborhood burn down,

people you grew up with getting shot and busted.

You suddenly face

devastation or education.

I chose the latter.

Went to night school, got my certificate,

got my masters and now here I am.

And running for city council, I hear.

Well, if the voters are wise.

And what's your background, Mr. Smith?

Oh, standard liberal arts education.

I was a government bureaucratic worker,

mostly in health, education and welfare department.

Then, uh, well, I guess like you, I wanted to teach.

Won those scars in the halls of academe?

Nah. Nuns, eighth grade.

Well, you better get back to work.

About those files, I really can't issue them to a temporary employee.

Sorry.

No problem at all. Thanks for your time.

Oh, I gotta ask.

Doesn't it make you nervous wearing a watch like that around here?

This watch was a gift from the junior league.

Anyone trying to take this watch is gonna have to take this arm.

It's been known to happen. Hell, they hack 'em off with chain saws now.

Students in wood shop make these for me.

Every year at first assembly, I give a little demonstration.

Power perceived Is power achieved.

I'd remember that little truism, Mr. Smith.

It will assist you greatly in your teaching.

Nice tie. Don't think we're gonna need insurance.

You haven't heard the gig yet.

Come on. Tell us what it is.

It's something a little different.

Who gives a shit, man? I just wanna get back in the action.

It's a school. Damn, that is a school!

I told you, man.

What kind of school?

A high school. I'm substituting there.

Substitute for what?

For Janie. She got kneecapped by a gang. She's in the hospital.

Oh, shit!

And we all feel bad for Janie, right?

But a high school?

What's in it for us?

Well, probably nothing up front, but there might be something on the back end.

Maybe something on the back end.

You mind tellin' me what the fuck is wrong with this picture, man?

First you turn down wolfson. Now you want us to go do a job at a high school on deferment!

Hollan! Chill out, man. Chill out yourself!

High school is bullshit, man! You all know what's wrong here.

Well, why don't you tell us, hollan?

I'll tell it, man. Cuba wimped you out.

You lost your mind and your fucking balls!

Aahhhh, fuck!

Maybe I'll borrow yours.

Goddamn it!

On second thought, maybe they're too small.

Fuck you, man! Fuckin' queers.

Look, no promises, but I'm telling you there's somethin' wrong there.

They're not doing their homework?

Look, all I can tell you is these kids are walkin' around

With cellular phones and pagers, and driving $50,000 bmws.

What ice pick? I ain't got no ice pick.

This is my class, Rodriguez. I know everything, and I don't allow weapons in here.

This ain't your class, bitch. I'll carry what the fuck I want.

Aahhh!

It's impolite to stick your finger in somebody's chest.

Would you like it if I did that to you?

All right, hand over the ice pick, please.

Thank you.

Sit down! Motherfucker, you broke my hand.

I just bent it a little. I don't break 'em on the first offense.

Here, man, take this with you.

Anybody else want to go?

Okay, let's get back to Vietnam.

Would anybody happen to know where it is?

It's in Korea, right?

We facilitated a day care program

So that our young mothers can come back to school and still see their children.

Fuck! God, no!

Excuse me.

Get me some ice or somethin'. This shit is killin' me.

What's going on here?

Yo, ask Mr. Smith. I'm suing this fucking place!

Owww!

Stop that language!

Marvin, we got trouble in room 3-b.

Hey! Get to class.

I was a member of a special ops team called mercs.

Long-range reconnaissance teams that were choppered out to the jungle,

in areas along the ho chi minh trail.

Fighting with these native mountain tribes.

So when we'd run out of bullets, we'd have to take the weapons--

their ak-47's off the enemy dead-and use their ammo.

That way we could keep fighting, keep advancing.

That sound like a Saturday night in Miami, you know?

My uncle got his legs blown off in Vietnam,

but he doesn't talk about it.

We was over there 'cause of Hitler, right?

Fuck no, dog. That's world war I you talkin' about.

No, no, those were earlier wars. We were in the 'nam to fight communism.

That's why my family left Cuba, because Castro turned communist.

Uh-huh.

Yo, Mr. Smith.

How many people did you kill in Vietnam?

Si. Cuantos?

I never counted, Martinez.

Mr. Smith? You lost any homeboys?

Yeah, I lost some homeboys.

Me too, dog. Mostly drive-bys though. You know what I mean?

You ever been shot, Mr. Whatever-your-name-is?

Sucker.

Yeah, I've been shot.

Yo, check this out. I've been sliced and shot.

Fuck that shit, kid. I got shot. Can you know what I'm saying?

I got a ak in the leg, man. That's what I'm talkin' about.

See ya.

Two of your students are in the nurse's office talking a lawsuit right now.

Why, is the nurse a lawyer?

Corporal punishment is no longer allowed in the dade county school system.

It wasn't corporal punishment, it was self-defense.

And power achieved is power perceived.

Well, I will admit you got their attention.

Uh-huh.

Which is good, but I can't afford a lawsuit.

Now if you were to apologize to these two young men--

that'll be the fuckin' day.

Then you leave me no choice. I'm gonna have to let you go.

No, no, no, no, wait a minute.

You can't fire me without two weeks notice.

Not unless you want a hearing in front of the school board.

Hey, you do what you have to do.

On the other hand, I want to be fair.

You go ahead and take your two weeks.

Thanks. That's all I wanted.

Oh, no he didn't.

Geronimo.

Geronimo.

That word apache in their language means the outcast, the shunned ones.

Like their emblem, like players today. Outlaws, bandits.

And that translates easy enough into the biker gangs of the '50s and '60s-my times.

The beaver days, yo.

Yeah. Yeah, I belonged to a group called the dragons.

All right, what were the black bikers?

Yeah, what were the brothers?

They were called the chaplains. Chaplains?

The chaplains were black?

What they wore, penny loafers?

No. But there were the biggest, baddest black group of the '50s.

And where I grew up, it was the dragons and the enchanters.

And the enchanters were the girls.

Uh, I was 12 years old when I became a junior dragon.

Oh, I see.

Mr. Smith was a badass, huh?

So, Mr. Smith, what were some of the other black gangs?

Well, gangs died out a little bit in the late '60s, but, um, came back in the '70s.

There was a gang called the black spades.

So these black spades, they was all, like, homeboys?

All homeboys. Five thousand strong all over the city of Miami.

Dang!

Five thousand!

Yo, Mr. Smith. If there was 5,000, why are we sitting in this classroom?

Okay. What's the future of staying in a gang?

Bitches, dog. Bitches. Money, hos and clothes.

Yeah, yeah.

Maybe a one-way ticket to the joint?

Gotcha. I wanna get high, high, high.

Straight up, smoking.

No, I didn't mean that, Rodriguez. I'm talking aboutthe joint.

You know, raeford prison, upstate?

Nah, that can't happen, Mr. Smith. We're all juveniles.

Until you're 18. Then they throw your ass in a cell, and you become somebody's sweet boy.

You're gonna get fucked in jail, yo.

They've gotta catch me first.

What are we supposed to do? Work in some fast food joint makin' some minimum wage?

Better than a gang funeral, isn't it?

How many of those you been to?

Too many. Too fuckin' many.

Is that what you want for yourselves?

What you want for you kids?

How many of you in here have kids?

You got a kid, yo?

How many want them to be in gangs?

No? Why not? If it's so great.

Yeah, but it's different when you talk about your kids.

Oh, yeah? Why?

'Cause you don't want to see your kids get into trouble or get hurt or get busted.

Well, I don't want to see you kids get hurt or get busted.

So what are we supposed to do?

Well, I'm not gonna bullshit you. I don't have all the answers.

But I'd like to see all of you survive.

Mr. Smith.

I want to commend you on the way you handled lacas.

And the best part is, you did it without violence. I like that.

Tell you what. Come by my office after the faculty meeting.

We'll talk. Okay?

Okay.

Put those out and get to class.

Today after the faculty meeting.

Uh-huh.

Roll this in your office, lock the door,

You got that? Go on.

Yeah.

Oh, I can't tell you boys how much I've needed this.

When we're done, I want you to say I'm sorry 100 times--

It's about time you boys started hittin' the books.

Oh, here's one. Required reading, catcher in the rye.

Who is it?

Hey, hey!

Hey!

Oh, man.

Open the door.

Ohh.

Come on. Hurry up. Look.

For you.

For me? Wow!

Oh, man. Oh, they're so beautiful. I need them.

Thank you. Hi.

How you doin'?

Oh, thank you so much.

Let me take those.

No. No. Let me hold them. You just go sit on the couch.

Okay. All right. You got that?

Yeah, I'm better.

Look at me, I'm so strong.

How's your knee?

It's great.

Yeah? I'm sorry I didn't get by sooner.

Oh, that's okay.

Hey, you look like a cripple.

What's that?

What's what?

Oh, these are the hairdos that I wish I had.

Uh-huh. Is that me?

Yeah, that's you.

I wanted my hair to be just like yours and they wouldn't do it for me.

Anyway, forget about that. Let's talk about school.

Everybody missing me? Everybody thinking about me? Nope.

That substitute you hired is amazing. Where'd you find him?

Oh, I didn't find him. Shale found him.

Shale? Yeah, the guy I met in Nicaragua.

Yeah? Nicaragua?

Is that picture in Nicaragua? Yeah.

What were you doing in Nicaragua?

I was teaching. He was in the military.

You know. One of those on-again, off-again relationships.

What'd you tell him? You tell me what happened.

I don't know. But I say something's going on, man.

This ain't no fuckin' teacher. He can't be.

I'll worry about him. You just do what you're supposed to do.

And don't call me here again.

Wellman, it's Joey. They're switching cars.

I'm at the fruit stand on Griffin road. Get over here a.S.A.P.

Hola, carina.

Comida cubana esta noche. Mmm.

Where'd you get those?

Darryl sherman sent them.

He a teacher?

Mm-hmm.

Okay. What do we got here?

Hope you're hungry.

Mm-hmm.

Arroz, plantains, habichuelas negras.

This must be the flan. Yep.

Where are you working?

And palomilla.

Home security.

Home security? Those are two words I never would have associated with you.

Doing what?

Oh, you know. Planning people's security systems. Stuff like that.

Mmm, I hope you're hungry.

Oh, I am. I'd love to have some rice, Mr. Smith.

Ptt. Ptth.

Darryl told you?

May I explain?

Go ahead.

So does that mean my classroom is gonna

Turn into your own private little drug war?

No. I just want 'em outta there. The same as you do.

Well, why should you care?

I didn't at first.

Oh, but you do now?

The other day I was talking and I just happened to glance back

And the weirdest thing happened.

What?

They were listening.

I don't know.

I guess I felt like, you know--

like-like you were actually teaching.

Yeah.

Oh. I remember the feeling.

♪ All of Puerto Rico

Hello.

Hi, Joey.

Fine. Yep. He's here.

Yeah.

Where are you?

Okay. I'll be there in 10 minutes.

Gotta go. Mm-hmm.

Janie.

Yeah?

About the teaching, I'll do whatever you want me to do.

I just want the same thing I always wanted,

which is that you just be straight with me.

I guess that's kinda hard when your whole life's a covert operation.

Where is this guy?

You can always count on him.

What's goin' on?

The little banger pulled a car switch at the fruit stand on Griffin road.

It's owned by an Indian named Johnny glades. You heard of him?

Yeah. The drug dealer?

No. Reputed. He's never been convicted.

The police surveil his ass all the time and never turn up shit.

Hey, hey.

That's the Indian that hit Janie.

Yeah. He's the muscle.

The other asshole must be the one who knows how to count.

Lacas supplying glades.

If that ain't the tail wagging the dog, huh?

Got 'im.

Here. Check it out.

It's right.

You take the boat. The Indian's mine.

You can't believe these guys. They're two hours late.

Two hours. It's always the same old horseshit--

freeze.

Hey there, big guy.

Get on the ground. On your faces. Arms out at your side.

Fuck. Fuck!

Goddamn it, bull.

Ugh!

Fuck!

Looks like your friend's boat's sinking.

You don't know who you're fucking with, asshole.

Payback time. Come on. Get up, linebacker boy.

Yeah, you, dummy! Go on. Get up!

It's your lucky day, man. Come on. Kick his ass.

Oh, man. That looks like it hurts.

Go on. Lay into him, boy!

Come on. Kick yourself a field goal!

I'll be damned. The son of a bitch can kick too.

Sheesh!

Not fair, shale.

None of that goddamned ninja horseshit.

Took you long enough.

No thanks to you, asshole.

Yeah, well payback's a bitch. I guess we're even though, huh?

You fuckin' psycho! Oh, yeah?

Who's a fuckin' psycho?

I knew you'd come back. Yeah. Wouldn't miss it for the world.

What do you want to do with this?

Hey! No, no, no, no!

Loco! Damn it!

Dade county, south fuckin' Florida.

Early morning joggers made a grisly discovery,

the results of what police believe was a drug deal gone bad.

Now, detectives have been combing the scene all morning.

They're looking for clues.

What they're trying to establish is were the victims killed here?

Or were they killed in another location?

Toxicology tests will be performed on the bodies.

Hello.

Claude?

Yeah?

Half a million bucks. What's going on, Claude?

I wish I knew.

You know they shot bull?

I'm sorry to hear that.

Hold on. I want you to hear somethin'.

Hear what?

No. Come on, man. He was my buddy.

Hear what happens to the guy responsible if I don't get my money back.

What was that all about?

Nothing.

Lacas!

Did you rip off Johnny glades last night?

You lie to me and I'll rip your fuckin' head off.

Me?

Did you tell anybody about the buy last night? Anybody?

Look at me, goddamn it!

I did what the fuck I was supposed to, man, and I split.

You think those fuckin' Indians want me knowing their business?

Yeah, well, somebody found out.

And we could be in real deep shit.

Everybody, listen up. We've got some announcements here.

The reclamation committee has generously donated

Some equipment to Columbus high school.

They'll be giving it out on the athletic field in about five minutes.

We've got sports equipment,

vcrs, laptop computers and books,

musical instruments, art supplies and lab equipment.

And, oh, yeah, pizza for everybody. No anchovies.

You don't teach history anymore, Smith. You are history.

Don't these people belong in class?

Yo!

Let's go!

Don't drop it!

Brand new tubas for the band.

That's right on.

Yeah, right on.

Jerome, find your homes with your wife or somethin'?

Yeah, that's why I divorced her.

What's up, man?

Hey, Jerome.

What's goin' on?

All right.

I saw how you handled them boys yesterday. I liked that.

I liked-- matter of fact, you're my dog now.

As a matter of fact,

s-dog.

Thanks, Jerome.

I'll take that as a compliment.

No doubt.

Check you later, man.

What?

Mr. Shale.

It's Smith. Be cool, all right?

Nah, I'm cool. So this is a personal mission,

or a joint operation between the c.I.A. And the p.T.A.?

Okay. Look, I'm just messin' with you, all right?

You're tryin' to get the k.O.D., and I wanna help.

Forget it.

What do you mean, forget it?

You think you're the great white hope.

You gonna come in here and show us how to clean things up?

This is my school, shale. I'm the one that's still gonna be here after you leave.

So if there's a problem, I wanna help.

All right, Mr. S-dog.

All right. All right.

So what do you want me to do?

Nothing.

Well, the next move is rolle's.

Rolle?

Uh-huh.

What's he got to do with it?

He's in business with lacas and a drug dealer named Johnny glades.

No, man. That's bullshit.

No, it's true. I don't know how they work it yet, but it's a matter of time.

The man has done too many things for the community--

what do you want me to say?

I don't want you to say anything, 'cause now I know what this is about.

Oh, yeah. What's that?

Politics. Every time you got a black man running for office

Trying to make a change, you got a white man trying to run him down.

He's dealing drugs, Darryl.

That's bullshit.

Johnny? That money you lost,

I know where it went.

Ahh.

Beautiful.

Tilt those little puppies over here, baby.

One for you.

Mm-hmm.

And one for me.

To the very, very generous Mr. Smith.

Well, hey, what do you expect from a Harvard, Princeton,

Cornell, rutgers, Yale grad?

You know, it's too bad that most of my students think that Yale is a lock.

Okay. Okay. Now, let's talk about this parent-teacher conference thing.

Oh, come on, Janie. I don't wanna talk shoptalk tonight.

Shale, it's tomorrow night. You've gotta be briefed.

I know. I just tell the parents what the kids are doing. Come on. It's so easy.

I want you to be positive. I want you to think about one good thing for every student.

There's at least one good thing for every student.

You have to educate and encourage the parents as much as the kids.

Oh! Oh, god. Oh, itchy!

Oh, not again.

Oh, why does it always have to itch at a spot where I can't reach it?

Oh, please.

Here. Let me--

I can't get it. I can't get it.

Let me get it. Let me try from the other end. Here.

Here. Here. It's right here.

Okay.

Oh, please hurry, shale.

Ohh! Ohh. Higher. Higher. Higher.

Okay. Okay.

Ah. Ah. Ahh.

Oooh. Oooh. Ahh.

I can't get higher

Through here--

I'm gonna have to come in from up top.

You dog.

What?

What? You know what.

Come over here.

Attention, parents and teachers.

School will be closing in five minutes.

Five minutes. Thank you.

Lisa, you're still here.

Yeah, I was helping miss Adams with some refreshments.

Look, there are some boys outside that are bugging me.

Do you mind if I just wait here for a while?

Sure. Have a seat.

Uh, I got some papers to finish. I'll be done in a minute.

And that's about all I got on young Arturo.

Miss hetzko'll have to fill you in on the rest.

Anyway, thanks for coming in, miss Suarez.

Thank you.

Yes.

Good.

I think I'm doing good, so I don't know what else I'm supposed to do.

Well, if you want, I'll be happy to talk to her.

That'd be good.

Huh?

What the hell is this?

You know, have your mom call me

And we'll set up a time when we can get togeth--

these doors shouldn't be locked.

Come on. We'll go out through the basement.

There's a security office down here, and they'll let us out.

You need a ride home or anything?

You sure it's not out of your way?

No. Not at all.

At least an hour and a half. Shit.

Lacas.

Come on, come on! Down here!

You guys go that way. You come with me.

Whatever happens, stay put!

But, Mr. Sherman--

no, listen.

Tell Smith. Tell him everything. Okay?

Got the guy! Over here!

Oh. Here we go.

Come down. You gonna make me come up there and get you?

Where you going, Darryl?

Fuck you, rolle.

You're going down, rolle. Smith is puttin' you away.

Smith's dead, Darryl. Drive-by, very ugly.

You're a liar! I know. It upset me too.

Give it up, Darryl.

It's over. Get it?

Aah!

Nice aim.

Fuck you, rolle.

Shame you have to end up this way. Crawling like a worm.

But that's how you lived, so why not?

At least I didn't sell out my own people, motherfucker.

Sell out?

I look at you, and you know what I see?

I see me when I was young and stupid.

I see me when I was soft.

And that just don't cut it.

Young man,

I'm just doing you a favor.

Who died?

You did, sir.

I guess I am a little late.

Mr. Smith.

What's goin' on? They sayin' you got wasted in some drive-by.

Yeah!

Who said that?

Rolle. The principal made an announcement this morning.

That's what we heard.

Told us about sherman too.

What? What about Mr. Sherman?

Somebody found his body off the palmetto.

Wasted.

Shot in the head and all that.

What happened?

I don't know.

I say we take this guy out right here.

Like you did last time?

Look, either he's an undercover cop or he's workin' for the mob.

How did he become hetzko's substitute?

Maybe you should ask her.

Harvard, Princeton, my ass. I oughta have my goddamned head examined.

I don't know where he is, Mr. Smith.

He has nothing on his calendar until 3:30.

What's at 3:30?

Let's see. A Mr. Wolfson at the jai alai fronton.

Thanks.

Jerome.

Look, I have to go someplace. I need you to take over my class today.

You're fuckin' with me, right?

No. I'm counting on you, son.

Yo, yo. Mr. Smith asked me to teach you motherfuckers today.

Oh, babe, you the teacher?

Yo, Mr. Smith hitting that crack rock?

The only crack around here's in your head, dude.

I'll keep it open for you real good, you don't pay attention to what I got to say.

I'm Mr. Brown to you now. I'm the substitute for Mr. Smith.

You dis me, you dissin' Mr. Smith.

Rodriguez, you're late. That's one demerit.

Jerome, I need to see Mr. Smith. Where is he?

Jerome, it's important.

Wolfson!

Shale. What a surprise.

Tell me about rolle and Johnny glades.

Who? I never heard of them.

You ever heard of getting a cesta shoved up your ass?

Jesus Christ, man. What are you, nuts?

You can't come into a public place and threaten people.

I mean, there's a phone. I'll call the police.

Go ahead.

Just hold it. Right there.

I mean, what the fuck do you think you're doing?

I will defend myself. Wha--

Okay. Okay. You got me.

Can we be reasonable about this?

Sure.

Tell me about glades and rolle. I don't know anything.

Aah! God damn!

God, i'm enjoying this!

Listen, listen. Listen to me now.

All I know is they wanted me

To hire some people to bodyguard the incoming shipment.

Is that the gig me and janus were up for?

Yeah. And I wanted you, shale. I swear to god I told him this guy's the best--

oww! Aah! Jesus-- flattery's gonna get you killed.

How long has rolle been on glades's payroll? Huh?

I don't know. No, no, no!

I know he was gettin' paid off when he was a cop.

And then, when he became a teacher, they just started

Funneling the drugs through the school.

How'd they do it? They, uh-they--

the k.O.D. The k.O.D., I guess.

The k.O.D., they said. But I don't know how they store it.

I don't know how they transport it. I don't know any of that shit.

You're killing me here, man.

You have no reason to kill me.

Once, I'm gonna be reasonable.

You're gonna leave the country tonight and you're not coming back, or I'm gonna kill you.

Otherwise, I'm gonna be unreasonable. Am I clear?

Yeah, if you don't hit me again.

Hey!

This the one?

Yeah. Three.

Hello.

It's Jerome and Lisa, miss hetzko.

Mr. Smith, this is Jane hetzko.

I've got those papers graded

If you could drop by and pick them up.

Thank you.

Come here.

Okay. Okay.

Don't be stupid, you hear me?

Who is it?

Shale.

Who's shale?

He's a friend of mine.

Yeah, well, get rid of him.

I can't talk to you now.

I brought you something from Smith.

Okay, buzz him in.

I'll be right here.

All right. Take the package.

Hi.

Hola!

Shale, the kids! The kids!

Mr. Whatever-your-name-is, you in my classroom now, motherfucker.

You're no fuckin' teacher. Who the fuck are you? Leave him alone!

Stay down.

Who is he? He's a merc.

A merc? You hired a fuckin' merc?

Get me the phone.

I don't know who he's working for. He wanted to know if you two had a deal.

What'd you tell him?

Nothing. You think I'd be here if I told him anything?

Do you know this shale guy?

Yeah, he did the Cuba raid. He's the guy I told you about at wolfson's place.

Oh, the guy that made you shit in your pants!

Shit, man. Again with that. That was the fiber.

I need my money now. What's the hurry?

I have a plane to catch in 40 minutes.

My father, he's-- he's extremely ill and I have to go see him.

Get him his money.

Sounds like this Smith and shale are working together.

Yeah, right. A merc working with a high school teacher?

He's not a teacher. That's a cover.

He's either a narc or a dealer trying to muscle in.

Yeah. Hello. Talk.

You're shittin' me.

You've got to be shittin' me.

I don't care who he is. When we hang up, kill him.

Are we enjoying this?

Jane, what's all the racket?

It's my landlady.

Will you open up?

Come on.

Get rid of her or she dies too. You hear me?

What's all the banging in there?

I'm sorry, Mrs. Andrewson. I had the TV on too loud.

What's wrong with your face, dear?

I'm fine, I'm fine. I'll turn te TV down.

Take him out! Goddamn it, take him out!

Give it up!

Drop it or she dies. Now!

Slow. Okay. Now back up.

Keep your hands where I can see them.

Lights out, motherfucker.

Jerome.

It's not your fault.

What the hell were you two doing here anyway?

Looking for you.

Why?

Rolle was bringing in dope on buses and storing it in the boiler room.

Mr. Sherman led them away from me so they wouldn't find me.

And then that's when they killed him.

I want you to stay here. It'll be safe.

Where are you going?

I have to go to the high school. Gotta get the drugs.

You think that rolle and Johnny glades

Are gonna let you just walk in and take their drugs?

If we get there first.

There's a key to the house.

If anything happens to me,

I want you to have this place.

I don't want you to go.

I don't want you to go.

I'll be back, Jane.

You better.

I will.

Goodness!

Thinks he's funny, don't he?

Joey, get that.

Uh, hello?

Yeah.

It's Louie beaver. He says he's seen

Shale and some other guys going into the school.

Tell him to sit tight and keep a lookout.

Oh, shit.

Car approaching north perimeter.

Be right there.

Looks like we got our company.

Yeah, well, don't worry. I'll throw them a real nice surprise party.

Good.

That's far enough right there, rolle.

Just take it easy.

I just wanna make a deal.

Your deal sucks, Mr. Principal. Okay. Tell us your terms.

Quite simple. I want it all.

Keep him talking.

You can't do that, shale.

It's done, Claude. You start anything now,

all you'll do is bring the cops down on all of us.

Don't worry about the cops. They're taken care of.

Anyway, you need us, shale.

For what?

You won't be able to work it without our distribution system.

What's so good about it?

It's foolproof. We bus it in, store it,

use the k.O.D. To mainline it directly into the school system.

You can't do better than that.

And they said busing would never work.

Sniper in palm tree.

Ohh!

There's more company moving in.

There are two groups.

Janus and his men are going around the back.

Hollan, watch your back down there.

And also around the side.

Ohh!

Aah!

Move it!

Aah!

Let's go! Let's move!

Aah!

The lock is broke. Check the stuff. Hurry!

Smile. You're oncandid camera.

All right, shale. You got me. What ya gonna do?

I'm gonna put you on my demo reel.

Now walk over to the blackboard and face it.

Easy.

I'm sorey.

It's a special mantra for flunk-ees. Put the weapon down.

Boom.

Rem?

Wellman.

Wellman? Shit.

Shale, I got four dead cowboys here.

And one very fucked-up looking Indian, Johnny glades.

Can I put him out of his misery, pretty please?

No! Wait'll I get there, hollan.

You hear that, Johnny?

As soon as shale gets here, I'm gonna scalp you, motherfucker.

You know what you look like with that shit all over your face?

You look like a little snow angel at the top of a Christ--

ugh.

Shale, watch out. It's a trap.

Watch that door.

Where the fuck is he?

Drop 'em! Drop 'em!

Where's my guy?

Get up!

Get up.

Who you working for, shale? Who you working for?

Myself.

Oh, yeah, right. A great teacher.

You're a mercenary. You're in it for the money.

It was never about money.

It's always about the money.

If it's not about the money what the hell else is there?

I'd try to explain it to you, Claude, but some things just can't be taught.

Oh, god.

I thought I lost you, man.

Not this time, Joey.

Rem and wellman?

Hollan too.

So you're just gonna stand there, shale?

Bleeding and shit. Making a mess.

Let's get outta here.

Cops have got great response time.

What did it take 'em, three hours?

Rolle said they were on his payroll. What do you expect?

Uh, it's definitely time to relocate.

Yeah.

It's too bad we had to fuck up the school. I feel bad for the kids.

They'll be okay. At least it's their school again.

Yeah. Where the hell we gonna go, man?

Oh, how's L.A. sound?

Like more palm trees.

I hear the schools out there have a major drug problem.

No, uh. No more schools, man. Forget it.

You could teach p.E.

P.e? Ho. What, I look retarded?

Okay, math.
