Come on.

Come on, push.

Come on, let's do it.

Come on, don't be a girl. Let's do it. Come on.

Let's do it, big boy.

Come on, let's do it.

I told you about this place.

Come on, get another one.

Yo, Billy.

Oh, big man.

Billy. You.

Good to see you, man. These are my friends I was telling you about.

Yeah.

Tommy Lander.

Right, how you doing?

Pete Brockman. Good to see you. I remember you guys kicked a butt on South

Central. You were all over the field. What did you get, 13, 14 receptions? 13.

Yeah, and a TD.

You saw that. Oh, you're damn right I did.

Big man.

I think those boys at South Central still have the nightmares about you.

You end up getting, what, three, four touchdowns?

It was three, but, you know, could have been four.

Oh, that's right.

Yeah. You broke long in the third quarter, but couldn't quite pull away

Jimbo Johnson, could you? That's right, man. Jimbo. Dang, man. He can play.

That's right. He says the same thing about you.

You know Jimbo?

Oh, he's a buddy of mine. Damn right.

Yeah.

You know he got a full ride upstate.

Yeah, I heard about that. Yeah.

Really? Well, you think stuff like this just happens?

Uh...

But what are we going to do? Are we going to talk? Are we going to dance?

are we going to do, huh? Let's get down.

I want to step in my office.

You guys make yourself home.

It's the same old story, guys.

Biggest mistake young guys make is thinking the playing field is level. I

it was. I really do, but it's not.

Unless you want to be the kind of guys that bring a knife to a gunfight, you're

going to have to face reality.

You've got to do the math.

You've got thousands of high schools. You've got 111 Division I college teams,

30 NFL teams.

You've got tens of thousands of guys all dreaming the dream, very few living.

You know how to separate dreamers from doers?

Right here, guys.

Commitment. You want to go all the way? You want to go all the way? You've got

to be willing to go all the way.

First shot would be on me.

It's a Powerball.

Steroids and speed.

What do you say?

Come on, boys.

Stop your grinning and drop your linen.

Come on. You got to do it. Let's go.

Come on, Superstar. Push.

Push it. Come on. You think you're strong now? You just wait a month. Come

push it. Come on, right here.

Come on, let's get big.

Come on, push it. Come on, don't stop now. Let's go.

Come on. You can't stop. Go.

Come on.

Come on. You gonna get big? Huh? You gonna get big or get small? Come on.

You're a bitch.

Four and six weeks.

Yeah, it's a combination of anabolic steroids and methamphetamine becoming a

real phenomenon.

Especially among high school students. These kids don't realize this. They're

playing with a time bomb.

Mark, we've got to put a stop to it.

You're right.

I've got an idea.

You ready?

You set?

Go. Come on, fellas.

Hey, what's up, man?

Where's your teacher? I don't know. I heard she was going to be absent.

Good morning.

My name is Mr. Walker.

I'm your substitute teacher.

In the eyes of a ranger, the unsuspecting stranger.

Had better know the truth of wrong from right.

Cause the eyes of the ranger are upon you.

Anything wrong you do, he's gonna see.

When you're in Texas, look behind you.

Cause that's where the ranger's gonna be.

Hey, well, what if we don't want you as our teacher?

Well, you don't have much of a choice.

Now sit down.

I said take a seat.

Okay.

Where do you want me to take you?

Well, you could take it to the principal's office.

Never mind.

Then sit.

Hey, you know what? You better watch it, Teach.

You know, I got a black belt.

Well, good. Maybe it'll hold your pants up.

You know, you don't know who you're messing with.

And neither do you.

Hey, you can't do that.

If you want to report this, I'll write you a pass to the principal's office.

No, I ain't going to report nothing.

Trust me.

It's saying over.

It better be.

All right, everyone.

Open your books to page 172.

Hey, Walker.

How's it going, Danny?

I think I survived the DPS Academy just to get sent back to high school.

It's going kind of slow.

I mean, I've only been in the class a couple days, but I don't want to come

too strong.

Good idea.

I think I might have scored a few points in class today, though. I think you

did.

Hey, come on. I want you to meet my brother.

Okay, I gotta drop this off.

Bye, boy.

I love you, Jordan.

Hey, Joey.

Hey, big brother.

Hey, Danny.

What's the man I was telling you about?

Mr. Walker?

That's right.

Mr. Walker?

This is my big brother, Joey.

He's custodian here at the school.

Nice to meet you, Joey.

It's nice to meet you, too.

Joey, so much fun.

I found this in the boys' locker room when I was mopping the floor. And I

touch it, neither.

I saw on TV how you're never supposed to touch... Evidence.

That's right, the evidence.

I'm sorry, Mr. Walker. Sometimes my brain don't work so good.

Well, you did real good, Joey.

Joey, I... Sometimes you just get so lonely.

Hey.

Hey, Teach.

Have the lab run a test on this.

Absolutely.

I'll cross -check it with the autopsies from Pete Brockman and the other

Powerball cases. You want to grab something to eat when you're done?

I can't.

Why not?

Homework.

Thanks,

Christy.

Oh, man, oh, man.

This is your homework from yesterday.

And this is what I think of it.

Hey, you'll teach.

You don't just throw it in a trash can.

Yeah, give me mine.

We got a recycling bin.

Classwork is an opportunity.

To show how much you know, not how little you care.

From now on, if your classwork is incomplete, I don't want to see it.

Man, Miss Mancuso was happy if we just handed something in.

Do I look like Miss Mancuso?

No, she just had a mustache.

What do you care anyways?

I'm your teacher. I'm supposed to care.

You ain't no real teacher.

That's right, man. We ain't stupid.

You're a substitute, which rhymes with prostitute.

Yeah, just like a pro, man. You're just in it for the dough. Yeah, so tell you

what, Mr. Walker, let's make a deal.

You don't bother us, we don't bother you.

I'll tell you what.

No deal.

Open your books to page 179.

179.

He wants to

read first.

Mr. Walker?

Nina, isn't it?

Yes, sir.

Thanks for caring.

You're welcome.

Hey, Nina, come on, let's go.

Let's go.

It's a college report from the lab.

Drugs found in the locker room in the high school are an exact match for the

drugs found on Pete Brockman and the other three guys.

That means it's a single distributor.

Spreading that junk all over the city. We've got to find him.

What's

your

homework?

I don't do homework.

In this class, everyone does homework.

Not me.

You're that let's make a deal guy, right?

Yeah, that's right.

I tell you what, I've changed my mind.

I'm ready to make a deal.

You arm wrestle?

Yeah, a little.

Okay, one shot. You pin me, no homework.

Wait a minute.

What about the rest of the class?

All right.

If he pins me...

No one does homework.

But if I pin him, you all do your homework every day.

Deal?

Deal.

Deal? Deal.

Let's do it.

I'll start it.

Let's go, Tommy.

No homework,

guys. Don't sweat it.

you sure about this mr walker i'm sure how about you do it you

ready

You thought this was a history class?

It is.

And he's history.

Well, homework

for everybody.

Billy's the one I've gotten close to. So I asked him, how's he getting so buff?

What'd he say?

Magic.

So I asked him to meet the magician.

Tony, Jake, how you guys doing?

Being the best don't come cheap, Billy.

Where's the money?

Look, guys, I'll get you the money. I will. You guys got to believe me. I just

need some more time.

We've given you time. Now we're going to give you something else.

He owed me three grand.

Guys, that's $3 ,000.

Listen, Mick, it wasn't our fault. You're talking about... What do you

your fault?

Huh? We went in there, we were gonna lean on the kid, and then he got stupid.

Wonderful.

The other kid, what's his name?

Tommy. Tommy Landers, okay? I want you to track him down, I want you to talk to

him. I mean, talk to him.

I want you to collect... What he owes me, I don't want to ever see him again.

Do you understand me? Do you understand me now?

Good. Get out of my sight.

You must be Mr. Walker. I'm Mary Wilson.

Yeah, the testing coordinator.

Yeah, I got your memo.

You got my memo? You read it?

The kids are right. You are different.

It's really a shame about Billy Cochran.

How are they taking it?

Well, maybe too well.

I know what you mean.

Living in this neighborhood, they just get too used to people dying.

Uh, Mary, you doing the counseling office?

I just wanted to know how many applications you'll need for the

placement test.

Well, I've got 23 students, so I'll need 23 applications.

Yeah, right.

In case you haven't noticed, those

are definitely not the best students. All right, guys.

Break it up. Break it up.

Play basketball.

Like I said, I'll need 23 applications.

All right, everyone.

Pass your homework forward.

Thought we had a deal We did

Okay,

let's see a show of hands of everyone planning on taking the advanced

test Don't all raise your hands at the same time talking

about the AP test you trippin or what Mr. Walker, those tests, I mean, they're

for smart people.

And you know what the opposite of smart is, right?

That'd be us.

Well, you may not be the best student, but it's not because you're dumb.

Then why is it?

It's because you're afraid.

Afraid? What do you mean afraid? Afraid of what?

Afraid to fail.

Playing dumb is the safe way.

Letting people know you're smart.

Now that takes guts.

So, do I have any gutsy tunes in here?

I can't

believe you're still

using them.

Powerball's on my ticket out of here.

All conference this season. College next year. And then straight to the NFL.

But you don't need them.

You're a good athlete.

Yeah, Nina, I'm a good athlete.

What if I'm not good enough?

Then you'll do something else.

See, you don't see that there is nothing else.

Excuse me. Nina.

Nina!

All right, here's the deal, superstar.

We want our money, and then we don't ever want to see your face again.

Wait, what, you guys are cutting me off? You can't do that.

It's already done.

But make control of the supply to the whole city. I mean, how am I supposed to

get my stuff?

Well, that sounds like a personal problem.

You saw what happened to Billy. Is there a problem, Tommy?

No, Mr. Walker, there's no problem.

And if there was a problem, you going to do something about it?

Everything okay, Mr. Walker?

Yeah, everything's fine, Joey.

I'll be seeing you.

What's that all about?

Nothing.

Bigger.

So, how's it going?

Tell you what.

Being a teacher is not easy.

Motivating these kids to study.

Well, it's a tough age, and a tough time to be that age.

But if anybody can do it, you can.

Thanks.

You want to help me grade papers?

Sure.

So, what are we studying?

History.

Hey, muñeca.

What do you want?

Hey, you know what we want.

We're tired of asking.

And now we're telling you, eh?

You're telling?

Forget me, chato.

Hey, don't you walk away from me.

Forget what you want tonight. I don't get to do it.

Hey, hey.

Let her go.

Back off.

Mr. Walker.

Who the hell is this?

I'm her teacher.

Oh, yeah?

Hey, Mr. Teacher here.

Want to teach this?

You want some of this, eh? Come on. Put it down. I don't want to have to hurt

you.

Now,

get out of here. Get in that car and get out of here.

Go on. In the car, man.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. Let me take you home.

What was that all about?

They've been trying to get me in a gang since I was 12 years old.

Why didn't you join?

Because of the initiation.

The initiation?

Yeah, the initiation.

You have to have sex with all the gang members.

It's not my way, man.

Well, I have to give you credit for standing up for yourself like that.

Sure wish you'd stand up for yourself in class.

These three huge guys came out of nowhere and grabbed me and were trying

me in this car. And they were huge. They were like 300 pounds.

And then here comes Mr. Walker, like out of nowhere.

And it was like Jackie Chan.

I swear.

Good morning, everyone.

Well, I graded your papers last night.

And I am one happy camper.

Because I don't have to throw them in the trash can.

Hey, Mr. Walker, Nina told us what you did last night. Yeah, man, my worst

nightmare. Teacher with a black belt.

Mr. Walker, could you, um, I don't know, teach us some of that stuff?

So y 'all want to learn the martial arts?

Yeah.

Okay,

I tell you what, I'll make you a deal.

To anyone who's willing to sign up for the advanced placement test, I'll give

lessons.

Any takers?

I had a girl,

Nina.

Anyone else?

I'll go.

Okay.

Tommy?

Good.

All right, I'll meet you in the gym after school.

Joey, have you seen your brother? He wasn't in class today.

No, but I wouldn't worry, Mr.

Walker. He's real smart.

Privet. Hi, it's me.

Have you heard from Danny?

No, why?

Well, he wasn't in class today.

See if I can track him down.

This is a private call.

Wake up, Tom.

Wake up. There you go.

You okay?

Now, who are you?

I'm a student.

In Midtown High School.

What were you doing here taking pictures?

I work for the school paper.

I'm doing a story on the football team.

Football?

Okay, well, we'll see if you're telling the truth.

Tony?

Come on, relax, sweetie.

It's no hurt too bad.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on, sweetie.

Okay, okay, that's enough.

What's up?

Do you, uh, got anything else you want to add?

I'm all ears.

My dispatch log says he ran a license plate for a Yellow Nova Supersport.

Personalized LP.

Boy Ida George George Edward Robert.

Bigger. Yeah, belongs to a Tony Delfina. He works for Devil's Gym down off

Stemmons. I'll go check it out.

Well, I'm free till 3 .30.

I'll meet you there.

All right.

Say, the teacher from the high school's here.

Get rid of him.

I'm looking for Tony Delfina.

He ain't here.

Where is he?

Well, I don't know.

Do I look like his secretary?

Mind if I take a look around?

Yeah, I do.

Now beat it, punk.

Don't do that.

What, that?

Let me ask you again.

Mind if I take a look around?

No, go ahead.

There's a guy inside.

Book him.

What for?

Lying.

Kick.

And kick.

Kick.

Remember, keep the hands up. Always protect your upper body. Ready?

Kick. Jab.

Keep the right hand up. Protecting. Shoot the left hand in the face. Right

the chin.

And right for the jaw. Kick.

Jab. Back.

Kick. Jab.

Punch.

Kick, jab, punch. Kick, jab, punch. Kick, jab, punch.

Now hold it.

The wrist. Get here.

My jaw might break. Close your hand. Now all on your own. Hold it. Don't move.

You come in here, you kick, you jab, and you punch. And he's blocked out of the

way from here.

If you block him here, you can hit him with that right foot right across the

head. So as he does, you kick, jab, punch. And as you throw the punch here,

right across the head with the inside crescent.

Jab, punch, kick.

Kick, cross.

Jab, punch, kick.

Kick,

jab,

punch, kick.

Jab, punch, kick, jab.

Good. That's what you're doing. Come up here.

Cross. That's it. That's it.

I've taught you some kicking and punching techniques, but many times you

into a situation where they won't work, such as a grappling situation where

someone grabs you.

What's a common grab, Tommy?

Headlock. Would you come forward?

Okay, let's say Tommy gets me into a headlock. Okay, give me the headlock,

Tommy. Right in here. All right. Now there's no leverage for me to get any

in my punches or kicks, so I have to use something else. Yeah, Mr. Walker, I

don't mean any disrespect here or anything, but there's no way you're

out of this.

You don't want to bet, do you, Tommy?

Now I learned my lesson on that before but she's still not getting out all

now There's nerve centers in different parts of your body now if you aim for

those nerves You can put a lot of pressure and a lot of pain one of the

right underneath the chin right here Now if I put my thumb there and put apply

pressure That's one I'll show you another one Tommy

My favorite from here is coming underneath the nose

That's another nerve area right underneath the nose here, which takes a

Works, huh?

Thank you, Tommy.

All right.

Who's next?

See your hands.

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.

You'll be all right. You'll be okay.

Doctor,

excuse me.

Any word on Daniel Bannon?

Did you just see my brother now?

Your brother's been hurt pretty bad, Mr. O 'Bannon.

Yeah, can I see him now?

He's still unconscious.

Yeah, but can I see him?

Nurse, take Mr. O 'Bannon to his brother's room.

How is he?

There was significant internal bleeding and swelling of the cerebral cortex.

Is he going to make it?

I don't know.

You're looking at a pretty big beef, but you help us out and you help yourself.

I already told you, I ain't talking.

Well, I got four dead kids, I got one undercover cop who's lying in a coma

at Methodist.

So you want to buy this whole package, that's fine with me, Jake.

With your looks and your build, your lack of intelligence, incarceration's

be a lousy way to spend the rest of your life.

You ain't got nothing on me.

Because if you did, you wouldn't be asking me all these questions, now would

you?

So, what are we going to do about Jake?

Well, Tony, I wouldn't worry about Jake.

Cops don't have anything on him.

He'll be out of jail soon.

As long as he keeps his mouth shut, right?

Got to keep that mouth shut, huh? Yeah. Come on.

So I guess I'm out of here?

Jake, what are your fingerprints doing all over the locker room at the high

school?

That's how you deliver the drugs to the kids.

So now you can fry for this. You can start talking.

Jake gave up Tony Delfino and a guy at the gym named Mick Stanley.

They're talking about taking out Tommy next.

Hello?

Mrs. Landers? Yes? This is Mr. Walker, Tommy's teacher. Is he home? He's at

school with Nina. Is something wrong? No, nothing's wrong.

Thank you very much.

He and Nina stayed at the school to study.

This is your test application.

Come on, Nina, give me a break. You know I'm no good at that stuff.

How do you know unless you try?

You know, I'm excited you gave your word to Mr. Walker.

Doesn't that mean anything to you?

Yeah, it means something to me, but... Tommy! Hey, we gotta talk, buddy. Come

here. Let's go.

We're gonna talk to you, Tommy.

What were you running from me for? I mean, are we friends anymore? No, we're

friends, Mick.

She's pretty, too. Very pretty.

Why don't you take Tommy to the locker room, boys?

Well, the way I see it, you two sweeties got in a fight here, and he

accidentally broke your precious little neck, and then you fell into remorse,

and you decided to cook up a hot shot of meth, and you took your life.

It's about to give us a little feel of Romeo and Juliet, don't you think?

Shut up. Come on, Mick. You don't have to do this, all right? It's between me

and you. You shut up. Look, look.

Tommy, Tommy, I wish it was that easy. I really do. But the thing is, she knows,

man. She knows.

You know what they say? A little bit of knowledge is a very dangerous thing. So

why don't you give me your arm here? We'll take this thing. Still? Tommy,

No. Get his arm. Pull his sleeve up right now. Get his sleeve up. I'm not

Hey.

They're strangers.

Ugh!

Hey, Danny.

Hey, Joey.

Hey, guy. Hey, Walker. How you feeling?

Good. Doctor said I'll be getting out of here pretty soon.

Good.

Uh, what's in the bag?

Well, I thought you might get lonely here without me.

So I brought you little Gordy to keep you company.

Thanks, Joe.

I tried to tell you.

Those losers will never show up for this test.

Where's Tommy?

Mr. Walker.

Cause the eyes of the ranger are upon you.

He's gonna see.

When you're in Texas, look behind you.

Cause that's where the ranger's gonna be.
