Walker, Texas Ranger (1993–2001): Season 5, Episode 18 - Devil's Turf - full transcript
Come on.
Come on, push it.
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, it's all you.
It's all you. Let's do it.
Told you about this place.
Come on, get another one.
Yo, Billy.
Oh, big man.
Billy.
What's going on, man? You.
Say, good to see you, man.
These are my friends
I was telling you about.
You know, the superstar.
Yeah. Tommy Landers.
How you doing? That's right.
Pete Brockman. What's up, doc?
Good to see you.
Remember you guys
kicking butt on South Central.
You were all over the field.
What did you get,
13-14 interceptions?
Thirteen.
Yeah, and a TD.
You saw that? Oh,
you're damn right I did.
Big man.
I think those boys
at South Central
are still having
nightmares about you.
You ended up getting what,
three, four touchdowns?
Uh, 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
from Jimbo Johnson, could ya?
That's right, man.
Jimbo. Dang, man, he can play.
That's right.
He says the same
thing about you.
No, 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?
What do you think,
stuff like this just happens?
Uh... I mean... No.
No.
Well, what we gonna
do? Talk? Dance?
What we gonna do, huh?
Let's get to it, brother.
Let's get down. I
wanna 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 wish it was. I really do.
But it's not.
Unless you wanna be the guys
that bring a knife
to a gunfight,
you're gonna
have to face reality.
You gotta do the math.
You got thousands
of high schools,
you got 111 Division
1 college teams,
30 NFL teams.
You got tens of
thousands of guys
all dreaming the dream.
Very few live it.
You know how to separate
dreamers from doers?
Right here, guys. Commitment.
You wanna go all the way?
You wanna go all the way?
You gotta be willing
to go all the way.
First shot will be on me.
It's a power ball.
Steroids and speed.
What do you say?
Come on, boys.
Stop your grinning
and drop your linen.
Come on, you gotta do it.
Let's go.
Come on, superstar, push it.
Push it. Come on.
You think you're strong
now, you just wait a month.
Come on, push it.
Come on, right here.
Let's do it. Come on,
let's get big. Push it.
Come on, don't stop now.
They ain't stopping,
so you can't stop.
Go. Come on.
Come on, you gonna get big, huh?
You wanna get big
or get small? Come on!
Ow!
All right!
Whoo!
Yeah, get that there.
All right, give me a minute.
Secure here.
Keep people out of that area.
Yes, sir.
Oh, we missed one.
Oh, no!
No. No, that's my son.
That's my son!
Petey, oh, my God!
No, don't!
Oh, no!
Just do something,
for God's sake,
do something!
What have we got, Kim?
Well, we'll run some tests,
but it looks like
another power ball.
Another one? Yeah.
That's four in six weeks.
Yeah.
This combination
of anabolic steroids
and methamphetamines is
becoming a real phenomenon.
Especially among
high school students.
What these kids don't realize
is they're playing
with a time bomb.
Walker, we gotta
put a stop to it.
You're right.
I've got an idea.
Got it.
Get ready, get set, go.
Come on, Tommy. Let's go.
Take him out.
Come on, Tommy.
Come on, Tommy.
Go, go, go.
Yeah!
All right, Tommy.
Hey, Billy.
Hey, what's up, man?
Where's our teacher?
I don't know. I heard
she was absent.
Hey, what are you doing?
Good morning.
My name is Mr. Walker.
I'm your substitute teacher.
♪ In the eyes of a Ranger ♪
♪ The unsuspecting stranger ♪

Yeah, well, what if we don't
want you as our teacher?
Well, you don't have
much of a choice.
Now, sit down.
Ooh.
I said take a seat.
Okay.
Where do you want me to take it?
You could take it to
the principal's office.
Ooh...
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 wanna report this,
I'll write you a pass
to the principal's office.
No, I ain't gonna
report nothin'.
But trust me, this ain't over.
It better be.
All right, everyone.
Open your books to page 172.
Hey, Walker.
How's it going, Danny?
To 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 wanna
come on too strong.
Good idea.
Might've scored a few
points today, though.
I think you did.
Hey, come on. I want
you to meet my brother.
Okay, I gotta drop this off.
Hi, boy.
I love you, Gordon.
Hey, Joey?
Hey, big brother.
Hey, Danny.
This is 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, show him what you found.
I found this in the
boys' locker room
when I was mopping the floor.
And I didn't 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 thought... I-I know.
Sometimes he just
gets so lonely at home.
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 power ball cases.
You wanna grab something to eat?
I can't.
Why not?
Homework.
Ew.
Ah. Thanks, Christie.
Oh, man, oh, man.
This is your homework
from yesterday.
And this is what I think of it.
Hey, yo, teach.
You don't just throw
it in a trash can.
Yeah, man.
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 wanna see it.
Man, Miss Mancuso was happy
if we just handed somethin' in.
That's right.
Do I look like Miss Mancuso?
No, she just had a mustache.
You have the whole...
What do you care anyways?
I'm your teacher,
I'm supposed to care.
Psht. 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.
Well, I tell you what.
No deal.
Now, open your
books to page 179.
Whoa!
- Sweet.
- Oh, nice shot.
Man.
How'd he do that?
Who wants to read first?
Mr. Walker?
Nina, isn't it?
Yes, sir.
Um, thanks for caring.
You're welcome.
Hey, Nina. Come on, let's go.
Let's go.
Toxicology 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.
That means it's a
single distributor.
Spreading that
junk all over the city.
We've gotta find him.
Where'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?
Yeah.
All right.
If he pins me, no
one does homework.
All right.
Let's go, Tommy.
But if I pin him...
you all do your
homework every day.
Deal?
Deal.
Deal?
Deal.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
I'll start it.
Come on, Tommy.
Let's go, Tommy.
No homework, guys.
Don't sweat it.
You sure about this, Mr. Walker?
I'm sure. How about you?
Let's do it.
Get ready, get set, go.
You got him, you
got him, you got him.
Oh, come on, Tommy.
Don't let up.
Come on, come on, Tommy.
Tommy.
Come on. You gotta go
the other way. Come on.
Excuse me, Mr. Walker,
but I 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 buffed.
What'd he say?
"Magic."
So I asked to meet the magician.
Yo, Billy.
Tony, Jake.
How you guys doin'?
Being the best don't
come cheap, Billy.
Where's the money?
Look, guys, I'll get
you the money. I will.
You guys gotta believe me.
I just need some more time.
We've given you time.
Now we're gonna
give you somethin' else.
If you even touch me, I'll...
Billy?
Yo, Billy.
Hey, Billy.
Oh, man.
Idiots.
Idiots.
He owed me three grand, guys.
That's $3000.
Listen, Mick, it
wasn't our fault.
What are you talking about?
What do you
mean, not your fault?
Huh?
We went in there, we
were gonna lean on the kid
and then he gets stupid.
Wonderful.
The other kid, what's
his name, uh...?
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 wanna
ever see him again.
Do you understand me?
Do you understand me now?
Good. Get out of my sight.
Got it.
I'm open!
Come on, Tommy.
I'm open!
Hi. Hi.
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're due
in the counseling office.
Okay.
I just wanted to know how
many applications you'll need
for the advanced placement test.
Well, I've got 23 students,
so I'll need 23 applications.
Yeah, right.
To the left.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, come on.
What's the matter with you?
Hey. Hey, come on.
In case you hadn't noticed,
those are definitely
not the best students.
All right, guys, break it up.
Break it up. Break it up.
Hey, you guys, come on.
Play basketball.
Like I said, I'll need
23 applications.
All right, everyone, pass
your homework forward.
Here.
Thank you.
Thanks.
I thought we had a deal.
We did.
Okay,
let's see a show of hands of
everyone planning on taking
the advanced placement test.
Don't all raise your
hands at the same time.
Talking about the AP test.
Are you tripping or what, man?
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 students,
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
students in here?
I can't believe you're
still using them.
Power balls are
my ticket outta 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.
But 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!
What's going on?
All right, here's
the deal, superstar.
We want our money,
and then don't ever
wanna see your face again.
W-wait, you guys
are cutting me off?
You can't do that.
It's already done.
But Mick controls the
supply to the whole city.
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 gonna do something about it?
Everything okay, Mr. Walker?
Yeah, everything's fine, Joey.
I'll be seeing you.
What was that all about?
It's nothing.
"Bigger."
"Bigger."
So how's it going?
Pshew. Well, I 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 wanna help me grade papers?
Sure.
So, what are we studying?
History.
Hmm.
Hey, muñeca.
What do you want?
Hey, you know what we want.
And we're tired of asking.
And now we're telling you, eh?
You're tellin'?
Forget you, chato.
Hey, don't you
walk away from me.
You're gonna get it whether
you want it or not. Get the door.
Hey, hey!
Let her go.
Back off.
Mr. Walker?
Who the hell is this?
I'm her teacher.
Oh, yeah?
Hey, Mr. Teacher here.
Well, teach this, ése.
Hey, teach.
You want some of
this, eh? Come on.
Hey, put it down. I don't
wanna have to hurt ya.
Come on, vato.
Let's see what you got, hey?
Now, get out of here.
Get in that car and
get out of here. Go on.
In the car, man.
You okay?
Yeah, fine.
Let me take you home.
Okay.
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,
like, came out of nowhere
and grabbed me and
tried to put 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 just like
Jackie Chan, I swear.
Like, throwing them
up against the wall.
Here he comes, here he comes.
Good morning, everyone.
Good morning, Mr. Walker.
Well, I graded your
papers last night,
and I am one happy camper.
Yeah. All right.
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?
Show us a little bit.
So you all wanna
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?
Attagirl, Nina.
Anyone else?
I'll go.
Yeah, I'll do it.
I'll try it.
Okay.
Tommy?
Come on, Tom, it'll be fun.
Come on, 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.
Uh, no.
But I wouldn't
worry, Mr. Walker,
he's real smart.
Trivette.
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 time.
Wake up.
There you go. You okay?
Now, who are you?
I'm a student at
Midtown High School.
Well, what are 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.
Isn't gonna hurt too bad.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on, sweetie.
Okay, okay, that's
enough. That's enough.
You, uh...
You got anything
else you wanna add?
I'm all ears.
All right, dispatch log
says he ran a license plate
for a yellow Nova Super Sport.
Personalized LP:
Boy-Ida-George-George
Edward-Robert.
"Bigger."
Yeah, it belongs
to a Tony Delfina.
He works for Devil's
Gym down on Stemmons.
I'll go check it out.
Well, I'm free 'till 3:30.
I'll meet you there.
All right.
Now you can have it.
Everything cool?
Say, the teacher from
the high school's here.
Get rid of him.
I'm lookin' 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, keeping the hands up.
Always protect your upper body.
Ready, kick, jab.
Keep the right hand up
protecting, shoot the
left in the face to the chin.
Aim right for the jaw.
Kick, jab, back.
Kick, jab, punch.
Kick, jab, punch.
Kick, jab, punch!
Kick, jab, punch!
Attaboy. Now,
hold it. The wrist.
If you hit here, my
jaw might break,
but so does your hand.
Now, all on your own.
Hold it. Don't move.
You've come in
here, you've kicked,
you've jabbed, and you punch,
and he's blocked out
of the way from here.
As he blocks from here,
you're gonna hit him
with that 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 across.
Jab, punch, kick.
Around in a circular motion.
Across.
Kick, jab, punch.
Kick, jab, punch.
Kick, jab.
Good. That's what
you're doing. Up here.
Across. That's it, that's it.
I've taught you some kicking
and punching techniques,
but many times you
can get into a situation
where they won't work,
such as the 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?
Get me in a headlock. All right.
Right in here. All right.
Now there's no
leverage for me to get
any power 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 getting out of this.
You don't wanna
bet, do you, Tommy?
No, I learned my lesson
on that before but you're still
not getting out.
All right. 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 areas is
right underneath the chin,
right here. Now, if I
put my thumb there
and apply pressure...
Ow, Mr. Walker...!
That's one.
I'll show you
another one, Tommy.
Oh, boy.
My favorite
from here is coming
underneath the nose
and pulling right straight
down, right to here.
You all right, Tommy?
That's another nerve area
right under the nose here.
It sure is. Works, huh?
Yeah. Thank you, Tommy.
All right, who's next?
Not me.
Let's see your hands.
Send Tommy out there again.
They called an ambulance.
The dude's been hurt bad!
Danny.
Danny.
Danny, wake up. Danny.
Wake up.
Danny!
Here, let me through.
Danny, wake up!
Joey, Joey. Come on.
Wake him up!
Come on, Joey. Let him go.
Come on. Come on, Joey.
Come on, come on,
come on, come on.
He'll be all right.
He'll be okay.
What's wrong with him?
He'll be all right.
Doctor, excuse me.
Any word on Danny O'Bannon?
Can I 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 gonna make it?
I don't know.
Excuse me.
You're looking at
a pretty big beef
but you help us out
and you help yourself.
I already told
you, I ain't talkin'.
Well, I got four dead kids,
I got one undercover cop
who's lying in a coma
down at Methodist.
So you wanna buy
this whole package,
that's fine with me, Jake.
With your looks and your build,
your lack of intelligence,
incarceration's
gonna be a lousy way
to spend the rest of your life.
You ain't got nothin'
on me, 'cause if you did,
you wouldn't be askin'
me all these questions,
now, would you?
So, what are we
gonna 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.
Long as he keeps his mouth shut.
Got it? Gotta keep
that mouth shut, huh?
Yeah. Come on.
Thanks.
So I guess I'm outta 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, or you can start talking.
Jake gave up Tony Delfina
and a guy at the gym
named Mick Stanley.
They're talking about
taking out Tommy next.
Tommy?
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
after 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, and besides, you
gave your word to Mr. Walker.
Doesn't that mean
anything to you?
Yeah, it means
something to me but...
Hey, Tommy.
We gotta talk, buddy. Come here.
Just go.
Wanna talk to you, Tommy.
Hey, hey, where
you going there, huh?
Oh, whoa, yeah.
What were you
running from me for?
Aren't we friends anymore?
No, we're not 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.
Kind of gives us a little
feel of Romeo and Juliet.
Shut up.
Come on, you
don't have to do this.
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, we'll take this thing.
Settle, Tommy, Tommy.
No. Get his arm.
Pull his sleeve up right now.
Leave him alone.
Hey!
Texas Rangers.
Hey, Ranger, come on.
Very good.
Is that all you got?
Stop that, you're hurting him!
Come on. Ho-ho-ho, come on.
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 Geordie
to keep you company.
Thanks, Joe.
I tried to tell you.
Those losers will never show up
for this test.
Excuse me.
Good morning.
Where's Tommy?
Mr. Walker.

Let's do it, big boy.
Come on, it's all you.
It's all you. Let's do it.
Told you about this place.
Come on, get another one.
Yo, Billy.
Oh, big man.
Billy.
What's going on, man? You.
Say, good to see you, man.
These are my friends
I was telling you about.
You know, the superstar.
Yeah. Tommy Landers.
How you doing? That's right.
Pete Brockman. What's up, doc?
Good to see you.
Remember you guys
kicking butt on South Central.
You were all over the field.
What did you get,
13-14 interceptions?
Thirteen.
Yeah, and a TD.
You saw that? Oh,
you're damn right I did.
Big man.
I think those boys
at South Central
are still having
nightmares about you.
You ended up getting what,
three, four touchdowns?
Uh, 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
from Jimbo Johnson, could ya?
That's right, man.
Jimbo. Dang, man, he can play.
That's right.
He says the same
thing about you.
No, 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?
What do you think,
stuff like this just happens?
Uh... I mean... No.
No.
Well, what we gonna
do? Talk? Dance?
What we gonna do, huh?
Let's get to it, brother.
Let's get down. I
wanna 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 wish it was. I really do.
But it's not.
Unless you wanna be the guys
that bring a knife
to a gunfight,
you're gonna
have to face reality.
You gotta do the math.
You got thousands
of high schools,
you got 111 Division
1 college teams,
30 NFL teams.
You got tens of
thousands of guys
all dreaming the dream.
Very few live it.
You know how to separate
dreamers from doers?
Right here, guys. Commitment.
You wanna go all the way?
You wanna go all the way?
You gotta be willing
to go all the way.
First shot will be on me.
It's a power ball.
Steroids and speed.
What do you say?
Come on, boys.
Stop your grinning
and drop your linen.
Come on, you gotta do it.
Let's go.
Come on, superstar, push it.
Push it. Come on.
You think you're strong
now, you just wait a month.
Come on, push it.
Come on, right here.
Let's do it. Come on,
let's get big. Push it.
Come on, don't stop now.
They ain't stopping,
so you can't stop.
Go. Come on.
Come on, you gonna get big, huh?
You wanna get big
or get small? Come on!
Ow!
All right!
Whoo!
Yeah, get that there.
All right, give me a minute.
Secure here.
Keep people out of that area.
Yes, sir.
Oh, we missed one.
Oh, no!
No. No, that's my son.
That's my son!
Petey, oh, my God!
No, don't!
Oh, no!
Just do something,
for God's sake,
do something!
What have we got, Kim?
Well, we'll run some tests,
but it looks like
another power ball.
Another one? Yeah.
That's four in six weeks.
Yeah.
This combination
of anabolic steroids
and methamphetamines is
becoming a real phenomenon.
Especially among
high school students.
What these kids don't realize
is they're playing
with a time bomb.
Walker, we gotta
put a stop to it.
You're right.
I've got an idea.
Got it.
Get ready, get set, go.
Come on, Tommy. Let's go.
Take him out.
Come on, Tommy.
Come on, Tommy.
Go, go, go.
Yeah!
All right, Tommy.
Hey, Billy.
Hey, what's up, man?
Where's our teacher?
I don't know. I heard
she was absent.
Hey, what are you doing?
Good morning.
My name is Mr. Walker.
I'm your substitute teacher.

Yeah, well, what if we don't
want you as our teacher?
Well, you don't have
much of a choice.
Now, sit down.
Ooh.
I said take a seat.
Okay.
Where do you want me to take it?
You could take it to
the principal's office.
Ooh...
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 wanna report this,
I'll write you a pass
to the principal's office.
No, I ain't gonna
report nothin'.
But trust me, this ain't over.
It better be.
All right, everyone.
Open your books to page 172.
Hey, Walker.
How's it going, Danny?
To 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 wanna
come on too strong.
Good idea.
Might've scored a few
points today, though.
I think you did.
Hey, come on. I want
you to meet my brother.
Okay, I gotta drop this off.
Hi, boy.
I love you, Gordon.
Hey, Joey?
Hey, big brother.
Hey, Danny.
This is 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, show him what you found.
I found this in the
boys' locker room
when I was mopping the floor.
And I didn't 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 thought... I-I know.
Sometimes he just
gets so lonely at home.
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 power ball cases.
You wanna grab something to eat?
I can't.
Why not?
Homework.
Ew.
Ah. Thanks, Christie.
Oh, man, oh, man.
This is your homework
from yesterday.
And this is what I think of it.
Hey, yo, teach.
You don't just throw
it in a trash can.
Yeah, man.
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 wanna see it.
Man, Miss Mancuso was happy
if we just handed somethin' in.
That's right.
Do I look like Miss Mancuso?
No, she just had a mustache.
You have the whole...
What do you care anyways?
I'm your teacher,
I'm supposed to care.
Psht. 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.
Well, I tell you what.
No deal.
Now, open your
books to page 179.
Whoa!
- Sweet.
- Oh, nice shot.
Man.
How'd he do that?
Who wants to read first?
Mr. Walker?
Nina, isn't it?
Yes, sir.
Um, thanks for caring.
You're welcome.
Hey, Nina. Come on, let's go.
Let's go.
Toxicology 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.
That means it's a
single distributor.
Spreading that
junk all over the city.
We've gotta find him.
Where'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?
Yeah.
All right.
If he pins me, no
one does homework.
All right.
Let's go, Tommy.
But if I pin him...
you all do your
homework every day.
Deal?
Deal.
Deal?
Deal.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
I'll start it.
Come on, Tommy.
Let's go, Tommy.
No homework, guys.
Don't sweat it.
You sure about this, Mr. Walker?
I'm sure. How about you?
Let's do it.
Get ready, get set, go.
You got him, you
got him, you got him.
Oh, come on, Tommy.
Don't let up.
Come on, come on, Tommy.
Tommy.
Come on. You gotta go
the other way. Come on.
Excuse me, Mr. Walker,
but I 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 buffed.
What'd he say?
"Magic."
So I asked to meet the magician.
Yo, Billy.
Tony, Jake.
How you guys doin'?
Being the best don't
come cheap, Billy.
Where's the money?
Look, guys, I'll get
you the money. I will.
You guys gotta believe me.
I just need some more time.
We've given you time.
Now we're gonna
give you somethin' else.
If you even touch me, I'll...
Billy?
Yo, Billy.
Hey, Billy.
Oh, man.
Idiots.
Idiots.
He owed me three grand, guys.
That's $3000.
Listen, Mick, it
wasn't our fault.
What are you talking about?
What do you
mean, not your fault?
Huh?
We went in there, we
were gonna lean on the kid
and then he gets stupid.
Wonderful.
The other kid, what's
his name, uh...?
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 wanna
ever see him again.
Do you understand me?
Do you understand me now?
Good. Get out of my sight.
Got it.
I'm open!
Come on, Tommy.
I'm open!
Hi. Hi.
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're due
in the counseling office.
Okay.
I just wanted to know how
many applications you'll need
for the advanced placement test.
Well, I've got 23 students,
so I'll need 23 applications.
Yeah, right.
To the left.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, come on.
What's the matter with you?
Hey. Hey, come on.
In case you hadn't noticed,
those are definitely
not the best students.
All right, guys, break it up.
Break it up. Break it up.
Hey, you guys, come on.
Play basketball.
Like I said, I'll need
23 applications.
All right, everyone, pass
your homework forward.
Here.
Thank you.
Thanks.
I thought we had a deal.
We did.
Okay,
let's see a show of hands of
everyone planning on taking
the advanced placement test.
Don't all raise your
hands at the same time.
Talking about the AP test.
Are you tripping or what, man?
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 students,
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
students in here?
I can't believe you're
still using them.
Power balls are
my ticket outta 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.
But 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!
What's going on?
All right, here's
the deal, superstar.
We want our money,
and then don't ever
wanna see your face again.
W-wait, you guys
are cutting me off?
You can't do that.
It's already done.
But Mick controls the
supply to the whole city.
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 gonna do something about it?
Everything okay, Mr. Walker?
Yeah, everything's fine, Joey.
I'll be seeing you.
What was that all about?
It's nothing.
"Bigger."
"Bigger."
So how's it going?
Pshew. Well, I 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 wanna help me grade papers?
Sure.
So, what are we studying?
History.
Hmm.
Hey, muñeca.
What do you want?
Hey, you know what we want.
And we're tired of asking.
And now we're telling you, eh?
You're tellin'?
Forget you, chato.
Hey, don't you
walk away from me.
You're gonna get it whether
you want it or not. Get the door.
Hey, hey!
Let her go.
Back off.
Mr. Walker?
Who the hell is this?
I'm her teacher.
Oh, yeah?
Hey, Mr. Teacher here.
Well, teach this, ése.
Hey, teach.
You want some of
this, eh? Come on.
Hey, put it down. I don't
wanna have to hurt ya.
Come on, vato.
Let's see what you got, hey?
Now, get out of here.
Get in that car and
get out of here. Go on.
In the car, man.
You okay?
Yeah, fine.
Let me take you home.
Okay.
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,
like, came out of nowhere
and grabbed me and
tried to put 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 just like
Jackie Chan, I swear.
Like, throwing them
up against the wall.
Here he comes, here he comes.
Good morning, everyone.
Good morning, Mr. Walker.
Well, I graded your
papers last night,
and I am one happy camper.
Yeah. All right.
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?
Show us a little bit.
So you all wanna
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?
Attagirl, Nina.
Anyone else?
I'll go.
Yeah, I'll do it.
I'll try it.
Okay.
Tommy?
Come on, Tom, it'll be fun.
Come on, 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.
Uh, no.
But I wouldn't
worry, Mr. Walker,
he's real smart.
Trivette.
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 time.
Wake up.
There you go. You okay?
Now, who are you?
I'm a student at
Midtown High School.
Well, what are 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.
Isn't gonna hurt too bad.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on, sweetie.
Okay, okay, that's
enough. That's enough.
You, uh...
You got anything
else you wanna add?
I'm all ears.
All right, dispatch log
says he ran a license plate
for a yellow Nova Super Sport.
Personalized LP:
Boy-Ida-George-George
Edward-Robert.
"Bigger."
Yeah, it belongs
to a Tony Delfina.
He works for Devil's
Gym down on Stemmons.
I'll go check it out.
Well, I'm free 'till 3:30.
I'll meet you there.
All right.
Now you can have it.
Everything cool?
Say, the teacher from
the high school's here.
Get rid of him.
I'm lookin' 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, keeping the hands up.
Always protect your upper body.
Ready, kick, jab.
Keep the right hand up
protecting, shoot the
left in the face to the chin.
Aim right for the jaw.
Kick, jab, back.
Kick, jab, punch.
Kick, jab, punch.
Kick, jab, punch!
Kick, jab, punch!
Attaboy. Now,
hold it. The wrist.
If you hit here, my
jaw might break,
but so does your hand.
Now, all on your own.
Hold it. Don't move.
You've come in
here, you've kicked,
you've jabbed, and you punch,
and he's blocked out
of the way from here.
As he blocks from here,
you're gonna hit him
with that 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 across.
Jab, punch, kick.
Around in a circular motion.
Across.
Kick, jab, punch.
Kick, jab, punch.
Kick, jab.
Good. That's what
you're doing. Up here.
Across. That's it, that's it.
I've taught you some kicking
and punching techniques,
but many times you
can get into a situation
where they won't work,
such as the 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?
Get me in a headlock. All right.
Right in here. All right.
Now there's no
leverage for me to get
any power 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 getting out of this.
You don't wanna
bet, do you, Tommy?
No, I learned my lesson
on that before but you're still
not getting out.
All right. 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 areas is
right underneath the chin,
right here. Now, if I
put my thumb there
and apply pressure...
Ow, Mr. Walker...!
That's one.
I'll show you
another one, Tommy.
Oh, boy.
My favorite
from here is coming
underneath the nose
and pulling right straight
down, right to here.
You all right, Tommy?
That's another nerve area
right under the nose here.
It sure is. Works, huh?
Yeah. Thank you, Tommy.
All right, who's next?
Not me.
Let's see your hands.
Send Tommy out there again.
They called an ambulance.
The dude's been hurt bad!
Danny.
Danny.
Danny, wake up. Danny.
Wake up.
Danny!
Here, let me through.
Danny, wake up!
Joey, Joey. Come on.
Wake him up!
Come on, Joey. Let him go.
Come on. Come on, Joey.
Come on, come on,
come on, come on.
He'll be all right.
He'll be okay.
What's wrong with him?
He'll be all right.
Doctor, excuse me.
Any word on Danny O'Bannon?
Can I 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 gonna make it?
I don't know.
Excuse me.
You're looking at
a pretty big beef
but you help us out
and you help yourself.
I already told
you, I ain't talkin'.
Well, I got four dead kids,
I got one undercover cop
who's lying in a coma
down at Methodist.
So you wanna buy
this whole package,
that's fine with me, Jake.
With your looks and your build,
your lack of intelligence,
incarceration's
gonna be a lousy way
to spend the rest of your life.
You ain't got nothin'
on me, 'cause if you did,
you wouldn't be askin'
me all these questions,
now, would you?
So, what are we
gonna 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.
Long as he keeps his mouth shut.
Got it? Gotta keep
that mouth shut, huh?
Yeah. Come on.
Thanks.
So I guess I'm outta 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, or you can start talking.
Jake gave up Tony Delfina
and a guy at the gym
named Mick Stanley.
They're talking about
taking out Tommy next.
Tommy?
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
after 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, and besides, you
gave your word to Mr. Walker.
Doesn't that mean
anything to you?
Yeah, it means
something to me but...
Hey, Tommy.
We gotta talk, buddy. Come here.
Just go.
Wanna talk to you, Tommy.
Hey, hey, where
you going there, huh?
Oh, whoa, yeah.
What were you
running from me for?
Aren't we friends anymore?
No, we're not 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.
Kind of gives us a little
feel of Romeo and Juliet.
Shut up.
Come on, you
don't have to do this.
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, we'll take this thing.
Settle, Tommy, Tommy.
No. Get his arm.
Pull his sleeve up right now.
Leave him alone.
Hey!
Texas Rangers.
Hey, Ranger, come on.
Very good.
Is that all you got?
Stop that, you're hurting him!
Come on. Ho-ho-ho, come on.
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 Geordie
to keep you company.
Thanks, Joe.
I tried to tell you.
Those losers will never show up
for this test.
Excuse me.
Good morning.
Where's Tommy?
Mr. Walker.
