The Last Vendetta

A new poll in the upcoming primary shows

Alabama Senator, Ted Langley at 24%

among all conservative candidates running for president.

While Langley has been widely endorsed by evangelicals

for his pro-life stance,

he has been largely rejected by voters of color

due to his zero tolerance policy on marijuana.

Recently, Langley has been making headlines

as he is set to showdown with the president's nominee

for the Office of National Drug Control Policy, James Marks.

Marks is the special agent in charge of the

Northeast branch of the Drug Enforcement Agency.

With decades of service

from his time as a marine during Desert Storm

to a highly decorated police officer

What?

Can you get that checked out please?

Sit tight.

- To the DEA in 2005 and led numerous successful missions

to stifle international drug cartels

operating in the United States.

But Marks has come under scrutiny in recent years

since the controversial investigation into the 2009 murder

of Bolivian drug lord, Alejandro Hernandez

who was found dead alongside his wife

and young daughter in their private home.

Ready to teach them a lesson?

This is all you, I'll fall back.

Okay

Good morning class.

We have 2 agents from the Drug Enforcement Agency

to give a lecture regarding drugs,

which are the topics of major concern today.

Agents Miller and Stokes

Good morning.

My partner and I have been with the DEA for 15 years

and we're here today to offer some insight

on the effects of commonly used drugs.

Okay

let's begin with everybody's favorite cannabis.

A flowering plant that contains the species

Sativa, Indica, and Ruderalis.

The plant is indigenous to Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent.

Are they serious, weed is a drug?

Quiet Newman!

Next we have heroin.

This is an opioid mixed with morphine

used to be prescribed as a cough suppressant

and believe it or not, as an anti-diarrhetic.

What is this?

Preschool class from the 80s?

Hey, another word and you're out!

- Okay, next up we got the rockstar cocaine.

This is a powerful stimulant,

commonly used as a recreational drug.

It could be snorted, inhaled, or injected into the veins.

And it is the leading cause of thousands of deaths

in the United States alone due to trafficking.

I'm sorry, but what is this for?

Really?

I mean, what are we paying for?

Will it be on the final?

Who pays your tuition, big mouth?

My finances are not...

Yeah, that's what I thought

He speaks.

- Okay, since Newman doesn't wanna hear the rest of the lecture

we're gonna cut it short and talk

about something a little more closer to home.

Oxycontin, Vicodin, Percocet, Percodan,

Xanax, Seroquel, Larazapam, Ambien, methadone, codeine.

How many people know someone on one of these drugs?

Yeah, fortunately, I'm not surprised.

Doctors are prescribing a handful of these drugs

to children as young as 10 years old,

starting the whole chain reaction of dependency issues.

Now the prescription drug regulations

make it harder to get these drugs,

but still people find a way.

But when they don't

which brings us back here,

the demand for heroin is up 300%

to prescription drug regulations.

In turn, the violence goes up.

by producing and trafficking these drugs.

Thousands die every year

just trying to get these drugs in the hands of people.

Like the hands of people.

We care about

You okay, Keith?

Looks like it's dismissal time for us.

We gotta go.

Duncan, what the latest word?

My contacts in Senator Martinez's office

believes they'll have all the votes we need

before the confirmation.

But there's still this obstacle of our Rust Belt friend.

He's making serious moves to block the confirmation.

- So he wants to play the race card with me.

I'll deal in.

Now listen that's what we don't want

Any sign of aggression

under intense cross-examination won't be a good look.

We'll get back to this later

Tell your pops I said what's up.

Ciao.

Gentlemen

I'm sorry to take away from your community service detail.

- What's so urgent that we had to meet out here

and not at the office?

I got a call from the FBI this morning.

Some disturbing news

George Schaffer was murdered in his home last night

Schaffer?

What, the agent from the Rodchenko case?

- The one you shot in the leg that time when we were undercover.

Remember that?

Yeah, Jay, I just remembered that.

- His wife found him strangled in his home office.

He heard the alarm go off

went downstairs checking out.

And ah, that was it

FBI checked for surveillance cameras and found nothing.

Hey listen,

FBI, got a...

I don't know what to say.

I'm sorry for his family.

What do you want us to do?

Jason, Keith

This is Schaffer's apprentice, Agent Frank Bauer.

Heard a lot about your work.

Very impressive.

We're not asking lightly for your assistance.

Assistance?

I offered an olive branch to the FBI

because of our past relationship with Schaffer

You know this guy?

Yeah, that looks like Billy Ramirez.

He used to work security for this cartel chief

that we put out of commission a few years ago.

- Him and his brother Paco were some contract dope runners

for some high-level independents.

Schaffer was working on something so big,

he kept us all in the dark.

I think this guy had something to do with it.

- So if you think its this Ramirez guy's handy work

why don't you just go collar him?

Ah, Agent Miller right?

You know, if you showed a little more patience

I'll get to the point.

Okay, here what we need

Jason, Keith, you guys, meet the Ramirez Brothers.

They own the bar called Status Q,

about 30 miles north of the city.

Do what you do best

go in there,

right?

FBI moves in,

they take him down

debrief later,

okay?

Agent John De Lorenzo

he was working with Ramirez a year ago.

His cover got blown.

He ends up the same way as Schaffer.

Down to the wire cuts.

- Keith, you got that bike still ah, in your garage?

Why is this a biker bar?

Yeah.

- So you're gonna have us dressing up like the Village People here?

Not exactly.

Ah that sucks

What will it be?

Two Modellos please

Thank you darling.

Queremos hablar con el dueño.

I don't know about you

I'm getting a little tired of these cattle calls

for the feds’ business.

What else is new?

I've been thinking sometimes, man.

I'd rather be doing some of that teaching

rather than trying to get the latest dope runner.

Linda still up your ass on that shit?

I got a kid on a scholarship....

up my ass with the mortgage

and I got this bum left shoulder.

Where the hell did all this time go, man?

- Hell! I'd like to be sipping Don Julio on a beach in Belize.

Right now we gotta keep our head in the game

This Election is about American values,

about saving our children

from falling prey to a menace at our borders.

You're fed up with weak leadership at the top,

and I plan to change that.

I'm Ted Langley

and I approve this message because I want to be your president.

Believe in me.

DC's drowning in its own bullshit

Gotcha.
