- Previously on "Deadly Class"...

- You're a Rat, as in no affiliation.

- Hating what's wrong is easy.

I'm gonna do something about it.

- You have the thing this place is supposed to nurture,

and they all see it.

- I'm a pacifist, man. - You're a what?

- Don't you ever call me out in front of my people.

'Cause if I lose my rep, I'm dead.

- I know about Marcus.

You know I'd never kill you.

You do some shit like that again,

you're gonna wish I did.

- I think I love you, Petra.

- I-I-I don't--

I don't really know what to say, Billy.

- Did your mouth buy you this scar?

Straight razor, he left the eye.

- It was my bunkmate at the boys' home.

- But I need a pig to help me find the kid

that torched that boys' home.

♪

- This standard poodle's skull

is moderately rounded.

- Moderately? Look at that thing.

- The coat, a proud, curly silver gray

with a hint of café au lait.

- Ooh, café au lait where it counts.

Am I right?

Come on.

You still sore at me, sitting over there

with your back to me?

Look, one day, you're gonna be grateful.

You were a big ole giant pussy when you came here,

and, thanks to me, you're gonna walk out like a man

with some scars.

That's what gives you substance.

Taught ya a good lesson to boot.

Humans are shitty. All of them.

Now, dogs,

like this pup here on the TV,

I know a girl just like her.

I loved her.

Good dog, until Dad found out.

He misunderstood everything.

Yup.

Humans will always let you down, but a pooch--

that love's unconditional.

- All I'm saying is, you're not making your own choices.

You're just doing what you're taught to do.

- Hit 'em with a right hook!

- I don't really trust the sovereignty of any government.

I mean, patriotism?

What marketing asshole comes up with the idea

that you get to feel noble by--by looking out

for your own self-interests?

- Uppercut! Uppercut!

Would you quit keeping it real at me

and focus on the game, man?

Yes!

- Suck my ass, Canadian Crusher!

- There it is. Knockout, baby!

This our champion. That's what I'm talking about.

Let me get some.

You best give me my money, Arguello, or I'll make it hurt.

- Uh, uh, I don't have a dime.

- I ain't asking for a dime,

but I want my $2.

You got till tomorrow.

- Borrowing money from FWO?

Smooth move, ex-lax.

Their interest rates are exorbitant

and their collection methods are rather stabby.

Where is that? - Hey, try Bactine.

If you get cut by something dirty,

it can get infected.

Uh, uh, not that the dildo was--was dirty

or--or--or your--your mom-- uh, I don't know--

- You want to bow out on this one?

- Yeah, very much.

Hey, listen, man.

I'm sorry. I should've done something.

That's just water under the proverbial bridge, compadre.

Life's too short for grudges.

Forgiven? Check.

Forgotten? Checka-checka-checka!

Oh, dang!

It's the old Rat tutorial guide.

Most of this stuff is, like, way ancient, though.

What you need is the skinny from an in-the-know cat.

Now, Rats, your people,

they're the first of their family to attend King's,

so they're like serfs during feudalism.

- Killer.

I've enrolled in the dark ages.

- Some Rats get extra jobs.

Uh, toilet scrubbing, infirmary watch.

Shithead Lex does mail.

Mopey Petra's on kitchen patrol.

- So if this place is built on classism,

why are you talking to me?

- I'm friends with everybody.

- 'Sup, dildo?

- Yeah, ha-ha, Boyd!

We're just messing with each other. We used to--

- You shouldn't let people treat you like that.

- That's part of my specialty.

I let people think I'm weak

and they never suspect the ole Shab-attack!

- Ha-ha. Cool.

- Mm.

- See you ladies on the dance floor.

- Gag me. - No Rats at the Legacy dance.

- Oh, bummer. I just had my asshole freshly douched.

- Joke all you want, but be careful.

Week of the dance,

Legacy hazing is a time-honored tradition.

- Caught one!

- A mousetrap?

I get it!

- Viktor!

Hey, compa,you got a rabies shot yet?

Hear you nailed a vampire Rat.

Eternal life, sure, man. But at what price?

- Communism does not see rich or poor.

Only vagina.

- Blowguns were used by the jungle people of Nicaragua

for thousands of years...

till the Soviets gave them janky Kalashnikovs.

To use one, you must be centered

with total focus.

Well, let's see what you've got.

- Mm-mm.

There. There.

Yes, I remember your technique.

- Are you ashamed for others to know of our beautiful night?

- Look, Drago, you were a curiosity.

Forget about it, okay?

- Mm, you hide your softness and act cold

because you fear feelings.

- It's not fear you're picking up; it's disinterest.

- Go to Legacy dance with me.

- Jesus, you do speak English, right?

- Rat, Legacy, jock, goth.

Why do we let differences define us?

Is as song says, "we are the world."

- Not a world I want to be a part of.

- Come to dance. Have fun.

You will be under my protection.

- No. Nay. Nyet!

♪

- We'll get there.

- What you're cooking today is a dastardly syrup

I call Mellow Yellow.

One drop and you're overcome with primal hallucinations

and terrible anguish.

- Sounds a lot like a night with Petra.

Isn't that right, Vik?

- Did not know Chico's lapdog was allowed to speak.

- Never would've put you and Vik in the same picnic basket.

How did you convince that hunk to get you in?

- Did you just say "hunk"?

- Go on and act stuck-up, but I know you screwed him.

He's sweet on you, too.

Pushing to get you bumped to Legacy.

- I'm sorry, are we friends?

Why the sudden interest in what I do?

- No interest.

I just wanted to tell you that you're making the right choice.

You don't belong with us.

You come to that dance, you'll regret it.

Rat trap.

I get it. I get it. I--

- Let me grab those jelly beans.

Oops.

- The fire, it's--it's-- it's inside me!

- Get away! Get away!

- Karma, man. Kar-ma.

- The rest of you are free.

- Stay put.

Class clown around here... ends poorly.

- Dude, I was trying.

Serious. I-I want to learn,

but I'm sort of shit at everything.

- You'll get there.

Give it time. These Legacies,

they've been tutored in this their whole lives.

- Does it bother you? Training people like that?

- I thought we were gonna train a generation

to burn it all down.

- Yeah, well, looks like you're propping it up.

- They put a carrot on a stick, tell you if you catch it,

you'll have the power to achieve your goals.

But bit by bit,

they move it from your path to theirs.

Yesterday you said something that reminded me

maybe I lost my way.

- Oh, I didn't mean to crumb on you.

You know, talk is cheap. What do I know?

- It's gonna get worse, not better.

Keep your head down. Pick your battles.

Save your time for maximum destruction.

Play ball at King's until you learn what you need,

and then get the ---- out.

Before finals.

- I don't know. The dance might be fun.

- Rather eat glass.

There's a show at The Stone.

- We're banned.

- Right.

The bouncer with the curious hands.

- Not so curious after we were done with him, hermana.

- Dude, something's up. I think Jurgen's gonna--

- Who you touching, Rat?

What, you can't hear?

Get out of my face.

Let's roll.

- I'm in.

- Serious?

Why the change?

- To spite Brandy. - I'll take it.

- I'm not dressing up like some candy-ass Valley girl.

- Dress like funeral,

wear bats for bra and pumpkin head.

I...

I'm just happy you come.

With that Russian tosser?

I'd call you a sellout,

but you Bela Lugosi goth turds

stand for less than nothing to begin with.

- Well, I'm not in your scene, so meeting your interpretation

of what's okay and what isn't...

I don't care.

- Next stop: J.P. Morgan, brunch,

raise a couple of paper white pups.

"Brent, honey, I'm home!"

- This is about what you said, isn't it?

About your feelings or whatever?

'Cause, you know, I didn't-- - It's cool.

Now that I see where your tastes lie, it's for the best.

Hope Viktor's balls taste like goulash.

- All balls taste like goulash.

You're gonna give me a lecture on punk cred?

- Oh, not at all.

Hell, I'd give Viktor a firm hand job

to get out of this jive-ass hazing.

- Dude, you giving out hand jobs?

- You might be quieter about it, Marcus,

but you're judging her, too.

I'm very intuitive.

- Says the guy who thinks "Jaws" is a comedy.

- Come on! Nantucket twats getting chomped?

That shark's a bloody hero.

- Qué hubo? Qué hubo?

How's lunch?

Special recipe today.

Rat. The other white meat.

- You dandies need me to hold your hair?

- How are you keeping that down?

- Why are you keeping it--

- Not my first rat stew.

- Oh, I feel its wee bones in my belly.

The horror. The horror.

- Today we riot!

No option but full-out class war!

- We'll storm the Bastille and--

and we'll release a loose stool on the throne.

You in? - No.

Rain check on eating the rich.

I'm gonna keep my head down and pick my battles.

- Dude, if we let them get away with this,

next time, we'll be eating--

I don't know--cat balls!

Soldier, are you prepared to serve your country?

- This is war!

- Cálmate,baby.

You space on movie night?

Forget about the mess we had to clean up, eh?

I already have.

- I need a break.

- What's that mean? You don't want to see me?

- Of course not.

I just--

I was gonna go to the dance with Saya.

- You should've said something, baby.

I'll throw on my fancy shit.

- No, it's okay. It's okay.

We were gonna do girls' night.

Just the two of us.

Please, just one night.

- Whatever you want.

- Sticker says "fragile," dickhead.

- Looks like Babushka sent you something special!

- Oh, smoked fishes!

- Columbia House finally makes good

on that Hanks Williams Jr. tape--

What the hell?

- Mother------. - Piece of shit!

- Where is fey boy?

- You wanted to see me, Jurgen?

Is this a joke?

- Is it funny? - Not to the Guild.

This is a suicide note.

You signed on for life.

- When I shouldered that,

King's was different.

You were different. You remember those days?

- I remember my father insisted

that you could be a valuable asset.

Took a considerable risk breaking you out of prison.

- He told me we'd restore the balance,

but the people we help already have power.

- The Rats who passed the exam.

- How many were there last year?

- Where's the teacher?

- Find a thousand dicks and suck 'em.

- So many?

- Welcome to the Fundamentals of Psychopathy.

Now, why would Lin enroll such a lowlife

into his esteemed Atelier of the Deadly Arts?

- You don't know my reputation.

- Well, reputations can be deceiving.

Do you know mine? - Um...

you're keen on astrology,

41 victims, no bodies found.

Cannibalism.

- I would never resort to such desperate theatrics.

Today we will be studying the murderer's muse:

resentments.

No better fuel for the feast.

List what you despise, please.

- Skaters who turn into rock stars.

Like Gator, he's great, but the dude thinks he's Prince.

- Capitalism. - Yeah, that's hard to argue.

- Thatcher. - Snore.

What about you, boy?

What do you hate?

- Bullies.

- Go on. - Tiny-dick egotists

who hurt people for no reason,

make people lock their doors at night.

People who make general existence worse,

people like you.

------- hate people like you.

- Today's lesson was on resentments,

and it looks like I got a new one.

I'm just trying to picture you without feet.

- I don't get paid,

I will send your boy back in pieces.

I will do a Van Gogh on him.

You can avoid that.

All you gotta do is pay me, right?

Just let go of the green

and save Chad from my mean machine.

You hear me?

I'll just keep the rest of my dirty business a secret.

You'll go to your grave just wondering what I did.

Ah.

Come to have the fun, sweet pickles?

- There's nothing sweet about us.

- Oh, sweet pickles,

I'm gonna have you in a sandwich pie.

Perhaps some flexibility in our principles.

None of us can actually prove whose ideas are right

- I remember once, I was with Mom and Dad

in the old sedan,

driving in the middle of the night,

God knows where,

and they had this Christian radio station on.

The only thing we could pick up.

The guy was talking about holding up a mirror to society

to show how violent it is

and illuminate some of the cancer

in the hopes that Jesus' light would cure it

and people would be kind.

This crazy guy calls in

and tells the preacher he's gonna shoot him.

Jesus' disciples out there teaching his message

all these centuries later

and being met with the same response.

The reality is, they like the violence.

They feed on it.

Denke's right, I need to pay attention,

learn to protect myself, grow scales and breathe fire,

never let them ---- with me ever again.

- Witch hunts, slavery, Columbus Day.

- What's wrong with Columbus Day?

- Look, I got a lot of reading,

and I don't have a legacy to fall back on.

- Can't help what I was born into.

- Look, man, I-I can't--

I can't be friends with someone who's ashamed of me,

not after what I did for you.

- Keep your mouth shut about that, man.

- Or what? You'll pacifist the shit out of me?

Jesus never stood a chance.

- More dead! Look dead! - Find the big pearl!

- Yeah. - Perfect.

Without Mayor McCheese and Ronald McDonald,

you get teenagers reheating meat-like patties.

- Oh, man, I could ---- up a meat-like patty right now.

- No, but seriously, like, what happens to a chef

when he has to work at McDonald's

because it's the only restaurant left?

I mean, years go by, his soul is diminished.

His creativity is stifled.

She's been telling that one for years.

Please put your hands together

the new and improved Miss Rat 1987.

- If a wiener is called a penis,

why isn't a butt called a poonis?

It's literally a thing that goes boom.

Friends don't let friends share dairy.

Dude.

Jesus, what happened?

It's my own fault for being a charlatan, right?

- Oh, so I'm the asshole somehow?

We were just messing with you before.

It's normal to want to be a part of the normal world,

but it's easier when you accept

that you don't belong in it. - Stop.

I'm not gonna let them rent space in my head.

Lesson learned.

- You just needed a reminder

of why we don't take part in that mess.

You don't need them.

They are awful.

You're one of ours, love.

- Always will be.

- But you're right to be angry.

- Nothing to be done about it. - Not by yourself.

- I thought you were sitting on the sidelines.

- Yeah, I was picking my battles.

There's no point in having friends

if you're not gonna stick up for them.

Let's burn them down.

Everybody return to their rooms.

- Been looking all over.

- Are you okay? - Shh.

- Come on, man. Guard your left.

Your left!

- Hey, what you did tonight,

thanks for having my back.

- I got to thinking on what you said earlier.

- Which part? I say so many smart things.

- About patriotism, and it wasn't so smart.

- Mm, you must've misunderstood it.

- You said patriotism was about self-interest,

but back in Watts, we had a different kind.

The pride wasn't in the government,

'cause they never earned no loyalty from us.

It's about community.

It's about taking care of your people.

- You saying I'm your people?

- Not if you can't guard your left.

Come one, Arguello, carry your weight, man.

- Is a celebration in order?

- More of a commiseration.

Your contract cannot be revised.

Take a sabbatical.

Go to an island, a mountain.

Reset your perspective.

- You know, I don't think a mai tai and a tan

is going to do it.

This is a long time coming.

- A man gives his life to a thing.

Years pass until, inevitably,

one day towards the end...

He wonders if it was the right thing,

but he's already given so much to it.

To quit would erase all his sacrifice.

- So instead, he stays the course.

Too far down the road to turn back,

he agrees to die compromised.

- When you first started at King's,

you were exhausted with the ineffectual game

of terrorizing the pawns of giants.

Here, by bringing your fire to the next generation,

you can make a true impact.

- The Legacies have their futures already written.

They don't give a shit about what I tell them.

And the Rats-- - The Rats?

- The ones who might actually make a difference,

what chance do any of them stand?

- The great examination cannot be stopped.

- Because you refuse to stop it!

Give me a head start,

for old times' sake?

Potassium chloride.

- That was your head start.

- Mark my words.

They will come for you.
