-OH, NO ! - PULL THE FUCKING CAR OVER NOW, GIRL.

PULL THE FUCKING CAR OVER NOW, GIRL ! I'M NOT FUCKIN' AROUND !

YO, YO, YO ! CHECK THIS OUT !

OH, PLEASE ! MY GOD. HEY !

- YO. LOOK WHO'S HERE. - RANDALL THOMASSON. OUR LUCKY DAY.

- BACK THE FUCK UP ! - WAIT A MINUTE.

NO ONE WANTS TO GET HURT. YOU KNOW THAT, AND I KNOW THAT.

LIKE YOU KNOW THIS GUN FUCKIN' POINTED AT YOU ?

YOU BOYS ARE FROM LENTHROP ? END THIS NOW, BEFORE YOU RUIN YOUR LIVES.

- DON'T FUCK WITH THE BROTHERHOOD ! -I'M NOT.

JUST GIVE ME THE GUNS.

I DON'T WANT YOU TALKIN'. GET ON THE FUCKING GROUND ! YOU HEARD HIM ! NOW !

THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

I'M OFFERING YOU A WAY OUT.

EVERYBODY WINS.

WHAT THE FUCK ?

FUCK YOU, THOMASSON !

ARE YOU CRAZY ?

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ? HE WAS OUTTA CONTROL !

WE'RE JUST SUPPOSED TO STEAL THE CAR ! HE WAS GOIN' DOWN SOONER OR LATER !

WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT ? WHY WERE YOU SHOOTIN' AT HER ?

I DON'T KNOW ! LET'S GRAB THE CAR, AND GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE !

ALL RIGHT ! ALL RIGHT ! GIVE ME ONE SECOND.

SO LONG, THOMASSON.

ARE YOU CRAZY ? WHO'S THE ONE OUT OF CONTROL NOW ?

GET OUT OF HERE ! COME ON !

COME ON ! SO LONG, TEACH.

YEAH, THIS IS WILLY.

THANKS.

HOW YOU FEELIN' ? I'M OKAY. THANKS, DANNY.

LISTEN, IF YOU WANT TO TALK, I'M AROUND.

MAYBE TOMORROW WE COULD GO GRAB A SLICE OR SOMETHING.

TAKE YOUR MIND OFF ALL THIS STUFF.

OKAY. I'M REALLY SORRY.

IF THERE'S ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP YOU--

YEAH.

YOU COULD TELL ME WHY SOMEONE WOULD DO THIS.

THAT WOULD HELP. ANYA.

UNCLE CARL ?

I REMEMBER A KID WHO WAS ABOUT THIS TALL.

YEAH ? WELL, THAT WAS A LONG, LONG TIME AGO.

KARA LAVELLE, I WANT YOU TO MEET SOMEONE.

THIS IS CARL THOMASSON, MY UNCLE.

IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU. NICE TO MEET YOU.

I WORKED WITH ANYA'S FATHER AT LENTHROP.

I DON'T REMEMBER RANDALL MENTIONING A BROTHER.

ANYA'S ONE OF THE TOP STUDENTS AT LENTHROP. YOU MUST BE PROUD OF HER.

YES.

EXCUSE ME.

NOT MUCH OF A STUDENT TURNOUT.

NOT MUCH OF A SURPRISE.

RANDALL WORKED IN THE SPECIAL STUDENTS' WING.

KIDS WITH DISCIPLINARY PROBLEMS. VIOLENT.

THEY'RE PROBABLY OUT CELEBRATING.

THE REST COULDN'T MAKE BAIL.

ANYA HAS MY NUMBER IF YOU NEED ANYTHING.

FEEL FREE.

DAD TOLD ME ABOUT THE CODE AND WHICH NEWSPAPER TO PUT IT IN...

IF ANYTHING EVER HAPPENED.

LOOK, I KNOW YOU TWO HAD YOUR OWN DEAL,

BUT HE KNEW THAT IF I EVER NEEDED HELP, HE COULD TRUST YOU.

WHAT HAPPENED ?

HE WAS MURDERED.

HE WAS PICKING UP SOME GROCERIES AT A PLACE NEAR SCHOOL.

TOUGH NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT MY DAD WASN'T AFRAID OF ANYTHING.

HE USED TO SAY, "NEGOTIATE,

DON'T INITIATE."

LOOK WHERE IT GOT HIM.

DAD ALWAYS FIGURED THAT YOU'D BE THE ONE TO GO FIRST.

KILLED IN SOME THIRD WORLD COUNTRY.

HE THOUGHT HE WAS NEVER GONNA SEE YOU AGAIN.

I GUESS HE WAS ONLY HALF RIGHT.

I WONDER--

I WONDER HOW MANY FIREFIGHTS YOU WALKED OUT OF.

AND HE...

WALKED INTO A CAR JACKING, AND THEY SHOT HIM.

WHAT DO YOU CARE ? DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK HE WAS TRYING TO FIND YOU ?

DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY OTHER CODES HE PUT IN THE PAPERS ?

DID YOU KNOW THAT HE USED TO TEACH ME KARATE ?

SO.

ARE YOU HERE TO HELP, OR ARE YOU JUST ON YOUR WAY ?

PASSING THROUGH ?

YOU KNOW YOU WANT ME, BABY. WHAT'S UP ?

YOU COULD TRUST US. I'M TALKING TO YOU.

DON'T TOUCH ME. HEY, GUYS !

I'LL SEE YOU IN CLASS. YOU NEED IT, GIRL.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THAT GIRL ? DAMN.

SHE'S ALL YOURS. THINKS HE'S GONNA DO SOMETHIN'.

YOU OKAY ?

YO, ASSHOLE.

YOU ADDRESSING ME ?

I'M TALKIN' TO YOUR ASS, BEAVIS. WHAT THE FUCK YOU DOIN' ON MY BLOCK ?

WALKING.

YOU HERE LOOKIN' FOR A LITTLE SOMETHIN' ? HOW LITTLE YOU WANT IT ?

DON'T COME LOOKIN' OVER HERE, 'LESS YOU WANNA GET YOUR ASS KICKED.

YOU WOULDN'T BE THREATENING ME, WOULD YOU ?

- - YOU WANNA GET IN THE CAR ?

LATER, ASSHOLE.

WATCH THIS !

MR. SIX, YOU'RE LOOKING FIT.

LOOKING GOOD YOURSELF. NICE RENDEZVOUS POINT.

CAN'T TELL YOU HOW HAPPY I WAS TO SEE YOUR NAME ON THE LOCAL AVAILABLE.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE IN MIAMI WITH SHALE.

I WAS. I'M A NEW YORKER NOW.

I GOT MYSELF AN EXPENSIVE APARTMENT,

THE OVERPRICED CLOTHES, SEASON TICKETS TO THE KNICKS.

HEY, CARL.

I'M SORRY ABOUT YOUR BROTHER, MAN.

THANKS.

DID YOU TWO EVER MANAGE TO WORK THINGS OUT ? NO.

- SO WHY AREN'T YOU WITH SHALE ? - WHY ?

I'LL TELL YOU WHY. 'CAUSE SHE IS.

HER NAME IS JANE HETZKO. THIS IS COSTA RICA.

YOU NORMALLY CARRY AROUND OTHER PEOPLE'S VACATION PICTURES ?

SHALE SENT IT TO ME FROM THE PEACE CORPS. THE MAN IS TEACHING NOW.

JOEY, I'VE GOT SOMETHING. I'M GONNA BE STRAIGHT. THERE'S NO MONEY IN IT.

- YOUR BROTHER ? - YEAH.

WHAT DID THE COPS HAVE TO SAY ? THEY'RE DOIN' THE BEST THEY CAN,

BUT IT'S A BIG CITY. I'M IN.

EVERYTHING'S STILL FRESH, SO I WANT TO MOVE ON THIS. TALK TO THIS GUY.

HE OWNS THE PLACE WHERE MY BROTHER WAS KILLED.

OKAY. YOU NEED A RIDE ?

NO, THANKS.

HEY, LIEUTENANT.

IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK IN YOUR CREW.

IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU.

HI.

HI.

NO, THANKS.

SO. DID THIS PULL YOU AWAY FROM ANYTHING ?

NO, NO. I'M BETWEEN WARS.

YEAH. ME TOO.

YOU MUST HATE THIS, HAVING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT SOMEONE.

THAT'S NOT TRUE. YOU'RE MY BROTHER'S DAUGHTER--

I MEAN IT'S OKAY IF YOU'RE NOT. I CAN HANDLE THIS ON MY OWN.

HOW MUCH LONGER YOU WANT TO STAY ?

UNTIL I FIND OUT WHO KILLED YOUR FATHER.

THAT WORKS FOR ME.

THE GUY FROM THE REPAIR SHOP DIDN'T WANT TO TALK AT FIRST. HE WAS PRETTY SPOOKED.

HE SAW THE SHOOTERS ? ONE SHOOTER.

AROUND LENTHROP HIGH SCHOOL, THE MAJOR GANGBANGERS CALL THEMSELVES THE "BROTHERHOOD."

OR THE 'HOODS. THESE LITTLE SCUMBAGS,

THEY WEAR SWEATSHIRTS TURNED AROUND WITH LITTLE EYEHOLES CUT IN THE HOODS...

SO WHENEVER THEY MAKE A MOVE, UP COMES THE HOOD.

THE REPAIR SHOP OWNER SAID HE WAS SURE THAT THE KIDS WERE FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL.

WHERE DO THEY SPEND MOST OF THEIR TIME ?

FINDING THAT OUT'S NOT A PROBLEM.

GETTING YOU INSIDE THE SCHOOL, THAT MIGHT BE A PROBLEM.

GOT ANY IDEAS WHO MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP US OUT ?

HEY. COME ON IN. THANKS.

IS THAT FOR ME? YEAH.

IT WAS A NICE SURPRISE WHEN YOU CALLED.

HOW'S ANYA HOLDING UP ?

ACTUALLY, SHE'S DOING VERY WELL.

BOY, BOTH PARENTS DEAD BEFORE YOU TURN 18.

WHO DEFINES "FAIR" ? YOU SEEM TO KNOW A LOT ABOUT HER.

RANDALL AND I WERE INVOLVED FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

FOUR OR FIVE YEARS AGO. EVENTUALLY WE BECAME FRIENDS,

ALTHOUGH HE WAS A LITTLE TOUGH TO GET CLOSE TO.

HOPE IT'S NOT A FAMILY TRAIT.

LISTEN, KARA, WHO'S, UH--

WHO'S GONNA TAKE OVER RANDALL'S CLASSES ?

I'M SURE REGISTRY WILL TRY TO RECRUIT A SUBSTITUTE.

RECRUIT ? THE SPECIAL WING IS NOT ONE OF THE POPULAR ASSIGNMENTS.

ALTHOUGH, YOUR BROTHER ACTUALLY THOUGHT HE COULD HELP THOSE KIDS.

IS THERE ANY REASON WHY I COULDN'T BE A SUBSTITUTE ?

WELL, THAT DEPENDS. WHAT DO YOU NORMALLY DO FOR A LIVING ?

I'M A TEACHER TOO, OF SORTS.

I TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO DEFEND THEMSELVES.

DEFEND THEMSELVES. LIKE WHAT ? KARATE ?
