He thinks the police are after him. | He's got another gun.

I've got to find him | before he makes any more mistakes.

He's gonna help the cops find Wilsie.

You don't know anything if you don't | know who to trust. I trust this man.

You had better too. You know where | your brother's hid. Take him there.

Wilsie?

Wilsie?

It's me, Arch. I'm coming in.

Who's that with you? | Thackeray.

Stop right there. | Get out of here, Arch.

It's all right- | Look, I'm handling this. Go.

You don't think that little magic act | of yours is going to work again.

That gun was involved in a police shooting. | I know you had nothing to do with it.

Is that right? | Did you bring the cops?

No. | But they're looking for me?

No. | Stop lying, man!

Rebecca saw you with them.

You don't have the nerve to call me | a liar without that gun in your hand.

This better, old man? Now you tell me | again that you didn't talk to the cops.

Don't be an idiot. Of course I was talking | to them, but I didn't give them your name.

Why do you think I left the school? | They fired me. Why?

Why am I supposed to believe that?

The one thing I try to do is to get | my students to think for themselves.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to do that | before your life goes up in smoke.

You let me worry about that. | Your mother worries about that.

Leave my mother out of this. | How?

I'm not gonna stand here | talking to you.

Look, if we go to the police- | I said, leave it alone!

Nice try, Tommie. | I got four pieces.

How many have you got, dark side? | You don't worry about that.

You can't shoot your way out. | I'm gonna even the odds up a little.

Let's make this between you and me. | You stand up, and I'll stand up.

That way, me and you settle this.

What you doing? Get down, man!

You can't do that, man!

Who the hell is that? | What's he doing?

It's Thackeray. | Thackeray?

Is he crazy? | I'm not armed.

They'll kill you, man. | Just walk out of here.

There's gotta be some cops. | This has gotta be a trick.

Man, he's still coming. | Chill, chill! Wait.

Make up your minds.

You're either going to shoot me | or you're going to leave.

Come on, get down. | There ain't no one.

Wait, wait! Nobody walks into a gun.

You've only got a few more seconds | to figure it out.

We pop a teacher and we're toast. | Let's get out of here. Come on!

Man, you are one mean mother, | Mr. Thackeray.

You be straight tripping. | Straight up, man. Here.

I already handed one in. | It's your turn.

You're tripping, man.

I want to turn this in. Someone's gonna | want to talk to me for questioning.

I'd like to make a statement. | Where do I find a detective?

They busted Wilsie last night. | They got Danny, too, man.

Take your seats. I want to introduce-

What happened to Danny and Wilsie? | That's not your concern. Sit down.

Why won't you tell us? | Why isn't Mr. Thackeray here?

This is a history class. | Mr. Vollick will be your teacher.

Get in your seats | and open your books.

He's not our teacher. | Yeah, our teacher was black.

You might want to give them a quiz. | A quiz?

I thought you guys got busted. | No, everything's cool.

Mr. Thackeray took care of everything. | It was like having a lawyer.

You got your answer. Now, sit down. | No, we're not doing it.

No one is sitting down until you | tell us why Mr. Thackeray isn't here.

That's none of your concern. | He's our teacher.

Your teacher is boarding a plane | to London this morning.

That's not true.

I want order here. | You want respect, Mr. Weaver?

Then give us some. | That's right.

Mr. Weaver, we finally got ourselves a | real teacher. You ain't taking him away.

Ever hear of a sit-in, Mr. Weaver? | Except we're all standing.

Yeah, passive resistance.

Still in there, huh? | For the duration.

Did you put them up to this? | I guess so.

I taught them a little history. | Then you'd better get in there.

Thackeray! Thackeray! Thackeray! | Thackeray! Thackeray! Thackeray!

I might as well leave.

Mr. Vollick had a difficult time | with you people.

I'd like to hear you thank him | for his trouble.

Thanks, Mr. Vollick.

That's better. Now, let's sit down. | We've got work to do.

We were discussing healthcare | and the upcoming national elections.

Welcome back.

Oh, hi. Good to be back.

That's all I wanted to say. | I'll see you tomorrow.

Yeah, see you tomorrow.

No, there was one other thing.

You're the most remarkable man | I've ever met.

William Lopatynski.

Arch Carrouthers.

La Verne Mariner.

La Verne has signed on as an intern | in Senator Butler's campaign.

I think the senator is in | for more than he can handle!

Danny Laredo!

Rebecca Torrado.

Evie Hillis.

Evie is taking | journalism classes at night.

Wilsie Carrouthers.

Wilsie is working for the Federal | Outreach Program for street gangs.

Lynn Guzman.

There must have been times | when you didn't think they'd make it.

There were times when I | didn't think I would make it.

What do you think? I made | the floral arrangements myself.

I'll bet there never was | a graduation like it.

You're a genius. It's so beautiful. | Come on, you wanna dance?

Mr. Thackeray, there's 500 classes | I could take!

Don't do them all in the first year. | I'll try.

Frankie? | What's he doing here?

He didn't even graduate.

What the hell are you doing? | I'm dancing with a friend.

You dance with who I tell you. | I told you, I am through with you!

Is that what you said? | That's what just happened.

I just graduated from John Adams. | I graduated from you a long time ago.

Get your hand off my arm, | or I'll take it off.

Nobody walks out on me. | The sister made herself clear, man.

Keep your hands off her. | You gonna make me?

Yeah, if I have to. | You gonna bring your whole gang?

I'm here. | Yeah. Me too.

And me.

Well, why are we just standing here?

Music!

May I have this dance?

You were supposed to ask him. | I will.

When? | Later, I guess.

How about now? Come on.

Excuse me, Mr. Thackeray. | We all wanted to say goodbye.

Let's not say goodbye yet. | The party's not over.

We kind of wondered when | you were going back to England.

I've given that a lot of thought.

In London, | they put me out to pasture.

I think, maybe, this is the pasture.
