Synopsis: After a botched mission in Cuba, professional mercenary Shale and his crew Joey Six, Hollan, Rem, and Wellman head home to Miami, Florida, where Shale is reunited with his fiance Jane Hetzko, who is a history teacher at Columbus High School in Miami. Some of Jane's students happen to be members of a street gang known as the "Kings of Destruction" (KOD), led by Juan Lacas, who has been terrorizing Jane. After Jane's kneecap is broken by a big seminole named Bull, she tells Shale that she believes Lacas ordered the attack, so Shale goes undercover as Jane's substitute, and initially, Jane has no idea that Shale is doing this. At the school, Shale meets principal Claude Rolle, librarian Hannah Dillon, and english and drama teacher Darrell Sherman. It turns out that Lacas is one of Jane's students.

- I can't do that, Shale.

- It's done, Claude.

You start anything now, you'll

bring the cops down on all of us.

Don't worry about the cops.

They're taken care of.

Anyway, you need us, Shale.

For what?

You won't be able to work

without our distribution system.

What's so good about it?

It's foolproof...

we bus it in, store it...

use the K.O.D. To mainline it

din'ectly into the school system.

You can't do better than that.

They said busing would never work.

Sniper in the palm tree.

There's more company moving in.

There are two groups.

Janus and his men

are going around the back.

Hollan, watch your back

down there.

And also around the side.

Oh, sh*t!

Move it!

Let's go!

The lock is broken.

Check the stuff.

Hurry!

Smile.

You're on candid camera.

All right, Shale, you got me.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna put you

on my demo reel.

Now, walk over to the blackboard

and face it.

Easy.

"I'm sorey"?

It's a special mantra for flunkies.

Put the weapon down.

Boom.

Rem?

Wellman.

- Sh*t.

- Shale.

I got four dead cowboys here...

and one very f***ed-up-looking

Indian, Johnny Glades.

Can I put him out of his misery,

pretty please?

No, wait 'til I get there,

Hollan.

You hear that, Johnny?

As soon as Shale gets here,

I'm gonna scalp you, motherf***er.

You know what you look like

with that sh*t all over your face?

You look like a little snow angel

at the top of a Christ...

Shale, watch out. It's a trap.

Watch that door.

Where the f*** is he?

Drop them.

Where's my guy?

Get up!

Who are you working for, Shale?

Who are you working for?

- Myself.

- Yeah, right. A great teacher.

You're a mercenary, in it for

the money like everybody else.

- It was never about the money.

- It's always about the money.

If it's not about the money,

what else is there?

I'd try to explain it to you,

but some things just can't be taught.

Oh, God.

I thought I lost you.

Not this time, Joey.

Rem and Wellman?

Hollan too.

You're just gonna stand there...

bleeding and sh*t,

making a mess?

Let's get out of here.

Cops have got great response time.

What'd it take them, three hours?

Rolle said they were on his payroll.

What do you expect?

It's definitely time to relocate.

Yeah.

It's too bad we had to

f*** up the school.

I feel bad for the kids tomorrow.

They'll be okay.

At least it's thein' school again.

Yeah. Where the hell

are we gonna go, man?

Ah, how does L.A. Sound?

Like more palm trees.

I hear the schools out there

have a major drug problem.

No. No more schools, man.

Forget it.

- You could teach P.E.

- P.E.?

What, I look retarded?

- Okay, math.

- F*** that.
