Toy Soldiers Page #6

- What's going on?

Yesterday your boy Billy Tepper suddenly

appeared on our side of the wire.

How'd he do that?

There's an old storm drain on

the east edge of the campus right there.

It's got bars on it, but the boys

always manage to get through.

- What's happening?

- Could you show our explosives expert...

how to get through that drain?

Of course.

What's happening?

Enrique Cali

was just murdered in prison.

When Luis Cali finds out about his

father's death, he'll kill hostages.

He could very well blow up the school.

We've got no choice. We have to go in.

"We're doing eve"ryt"hing we can,"

but I gotta tell you...

the casualties could be high unless

your boy does what he says he can do.

- "He'll try."

- "He better."

- Billy, wake up.

- I'm awake.

That's the signal. They're going

to attack and they want our help.

They're crazy. What do they think

we can do? We'll get everybody killed.

- This was your idea.

- It's too late to back out now.

- No, it isn't.

- They're depending on us.

They'll stop depending on us

when we don't answer them.

You a**hole!

Give me that!

Get off me!

Maybe it was a mistake

to follow your plan...

but we did

because you wanted us to.

Now it's too late to back out.

We can't back out and neither can you.

I've been a major fuckup my whole life.

I'll get you all killed.

Come on, man.

I'm sorry.

The cuts on your back.

Forget about the cuts. That's the least

of our problems right now.

Your plan is just as good now as it was

yesterday when we thought it was great.

- We were wrong yesterday.

- Stop this, Billy! You got us into it.

- You gotta get us out.

- Say, "Do it forJoey," and I'll puke.

We don't have to tell you why.

You know why.

You're f***ing morons.

You know that, don't you?

You're f***ing morons.

That's why we hang

with you, Billy.

- We're really gonna do this?

- You bet.

All right, we got a lot of work

to do, especially you.

Me?

Are you there?

What are you trying to do?

You see, there's been a power failure

affecting the whole county.

- They're working on it.

- "I see."

You have exactly

one hour to fix the power.

Then I kill one hostage

every 15 minutes until it's back on.

All right now, just relax.

Try and act natural.

The next guy comes out of the bathroom,

you two go, all right?

When you come out of the storm drain,

stay to the right as you go up the hill.

You'll be under cover until

you get to this point right here.

It would be a lot easier

if I went along with you.

I'm sorry, sir.

We can't let you do that.

We'll be fine with the map.

Hey, you guys all set?

If there's any problem,

just turn off the water.

Come on.

You sure this goes

to the headmaster's office?

How do you think I broke in

to get the headmaster's furniture out?

How do you think I got

the algebra final?

Geez Louise, Yogurt, you'd think we were

going to defuse a bomb or something.

It was a joke, Yogurt.

Lighten up.

Hey, man, are you okay?

Get his medicine!

Come on, quick.

Out of the way.

- All right, now what?

- You see that box?

Yeah.

No, no, no!

That's the detonator.

Don't touch that box. The other box...

the blue box with the light on it.

That's the remote control receiver.

Take the casing off.

Do any of your men have medical

training? This boy's very sick.

What now?

All right, all right,

very, very carefully...

take the red chip out

of the receiver.

Okay.

- There is no red chip.

- There must be.

Well, I'm sorry, there isn't.

There's a blue chip the same size as

the red chip, but there's no red chip.

That must be it then.

Well, is it or isn't it?

I don't know.

This boy has a history of medical

problems. You can see how sick he is.

You must call an ambulance.

Okay, it should just

slide in now.

Oh, sh*t!

Watch out.

I'm coming up.

Damn it.

I can't just wait here.

Prepare to engage targets.

Confirm target acquisition.

Targets are up.

Fire.

He's got a history of asthma.

- I'm feeling a little better, sir.

- Good, good.

It's not gonna work.

They jammed the radios.

Okay, Jack.

Shh. Listen.

Do you hear water running?

Yes.

Oh, good. I thought

we were in trouble. Move.

There. Now that

wasn't so hard, was it?

I got him. I got him.

I got him!

Hit him, Yogurt!

Come on, Yogurt.

Hit him!

Forget it.

We're jamming the radios.

Help me get to the headmaster's office...

to the detonator.

Let's go.

Are you supposed to be here?

Yeah, I'm on pots and pans.

"Pozanpans?"

What is "pozanpans?"

No, pots and pans.

When they wanna give a kid a terrible

punishment, they give him pots and pans.

I have to wash this sh*t

after every meal.

- Pots and pans.

- Yeah, pots and pans.

Come on! Let's go!

Everybody in the kitchen!

Everybody in the kitchen!

Move, move!

Come on, come on!

Move! Move, move, move, move!

Go.

Hurry it up! Get in here.

Get up!

Hold your fire.

He's got a hostage!

Wait.

Oh, God.

I'm sorry.

Don't.

What'll happen if he

pulls out the wires?

The bombs will go off.

Shoot him.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

I'm sorry I was such

an a**hole to you.

I mean, now that you saved

my life and everything.

It's okay.

- I never took it personally.

- Good.

Hey, congratulations.

You came through.

You just might graduate

in this lifetime.

Does that mean

I'm off pots and pans?

Oh, no. You don't think you're

gonna get off that easy, do you?

Huh?

Hey, have you guys

seen Billy?

Hey, have you seen Billy?

- Where could he be?

- Hey! Hey! Here's an ambulance.

Is Billy Tepper in there?

He's not in there.

No one's seen Billy?

- Where is he, man?

- Hey! Hey!
