No, no, it's cool, | Take your shoes off,

Mi casa es su casa.

Hey,

Brooks,

- What you doin' here so late? | - I'm always here this late,

I guess that would explain your buck-wild | weekends with Ben & Jerry, huh?

Tell me you're not here working | on the Warren Williams case,

Oh, no, no, no, | I was just using this file as a pillow,

Tre, I'm trying to get you | your old job back,

Just lay low for a while, | and you might be a cop again,

It ain't even about that,

Why do you care about this so much?

I been messin' up all my life,

Droped out of high school | a month before graduation,

broke my dad's heart,

He said I wouldn't amount to anything | if I didn't get an education,

Andthatman meanttheworldto me.

I was nothin' | but a disapointment to him,

Look, Rob's a good kid, man, | He's just mixed up in a bad situation,

It makes no sense | that he would boost cars,

There's something else goin' down, | and I'm gonna prove it,

The Aronia bush,

a deciduous shrub which produces | wonderful succulent black chokeberries

that can be harvested | at this time of year,

There are some growing on the west side | of campus down by the old storage facility.

(vehicle approaches)

(bad Spanish accent) | Say hello to my little friend,

(car stops outside)

(boys' voices)

- (Rob) You're overreacting, | - (Bos) lsn't it convenient?

He shows up in the middle | of the semester, Hm?

Then he chases you down with a gun?

- If someone stole my ride, I'd pull a piece, | - I'm tellin' you, he needs to be dealt with,

All right?

I haven't trusted that punk from day one,

That punk had my back on the beach | while you two made a jailbreak, Just relax,

No, no, Rob, I'm not just gonna relax, OK? | You act like nothing hapened, man,

Not a day has gone by that I haven't | thought about what went down,

- We should call the police, | - And say what?

What are we gonna say? | That he blackmailed us?

Our part of the deal is done,

From now on, we're clean, All we have to | do is lay low and everything will be all right,

Just lay low,

That's the plan?

Let's go,

(door closes)

A stain on Warren Williams' shirt | was tested by forensics,

- It turned out the stain was,,, | - From an Aronia bush,

We know this, Those trees are | as common as BMWs in Westbury,

- It could have come from anywhere, | - Right, including on campus,

I was lookin' around on where | those trees are, and I found this,

You found a pen on a campus? | That's amazing,

Pay attention, Rob's name was written in | red ink on that notepad found at the scene,

I bet if you test this, you'll find | Warren's prints and an ink match,

- Kid was there, He was onto something, | - All right, what else you got?

I saw a gang of covered cars | being hauled off on a truck,

I followed the tracks, | It led me to a garage housing car racks,

- You saw the stolen cars? | - Nah, but,,, I saw this,

It's the same customized cap | from the Murdock bust,

You think this has to do with drugs?

I can't prove it, but I got a hunch it has | something to do with drugs and cars,

Rob and his boys are just pupets, | Somebody else is pulling the strings,

You got me up in the middle of the night | to come down here for a hunch?

Sometimes hunches | are how cases are solved,

- You're wasting my time, baby face, | - Look, G, I get it,

I look young, you look chunky, | It's not about that right now,

I need your help,

Together we can make this hapen,

If what you say is true, we'll find out | when we question Donovan,

- What are you talking about? | - His prints were in the captain's garage,

As soon as we get the green light | from the commish, we're movin' on him,

(knock on door)

(louder knocking)

You better have a very good reason | for wakin' me up at 6am,

- I brought you your paper, | - I get it delivered,

- I brought it from the driveway, | - Esta tan viejo como Friegas.

Hey, I know what you sayin', | No need for name-callin',

What are you doing here, Tre?

I came by to ask you to hold off | on bringin' Donovan in,

Let Gallecki scope out the school, | My report says,,,

Hey, Unless you're talkin' about your book | report, I don't wanna hear about it,

Cap, my dad used to say if you don't stand | for something, you'll fall for anything,

If you arrest Rob, | you ruin this kid's whole future,

You should be thinkin' about your future, | Go to school, Learn something, Tre,

Dad also used to say if I needed someone, | I could turn to you,

Guess he was wrong about that,

If she can't take your needs,,,

Hey,

- 'Sup? | - Let's take a ride,

You know how to use one of these?

Shoot, the basketball court | ain't the only place I'm a sure shot,

Yo, man, what we doin' out here?

I read a really interesting chapter | in my history book about Benedict Arnold,

He made some good eggs,

No, he was a trusted and admired general | in the Revolutionary War,

But then he turned his back | and fought for the enemy,

- I'm sure he had his reasons, | - No, you never betray your men,

Sometimes it's the right choice,

What do you say we end this now, | so no one else gets hurt?

- No, I can't just surrender now, | - Have it your way,

How's it goin', boss? | Cars went off right on schedule,

Good, Good, Look, a small problem | has arisen that I need you to take care of,

Boscoe has given me | some unfortunate information

concerning that new student | Tracy Stokes,

So,

(man) What, you want us to,,,?

You're kidding, right?

We're cool moving product for you, | but we're not,,,

1 2 months ago, | I was given a golden oportunity

to make up for the thankless years | I've devoted to Westbury

with its spoiled darlings | and their daddies' millions,

I can understand that, but we're not,,,

Tomorrow night sees the culmination | of all our hard work,

and I will allow no one to stand in the way | of what is coming to me,

So, please, less of the "drug dealers with | scruples" routine and just do as you're told,

Hm?

Cheer up,

I'm about to make you | the wealthiest grounds staff in history,

(boys) Guys goin' out!

(boy #2) Come on, fellas, let's do it!

(boy #3) We got these clowns, man,

Chicken! They're live!

(boy #4) Let's go!

- You wanted to see us, Cap? | - Yeah,

I want you to check out | the storage facility at Westbury,

- You gotta be kidding me, | - Hey, Gallecki, just do it, OK?

Be sure to hit the shitter | before you go this time, too,

(phone rings)

Yeah,

- Everything on schedule? | - (Tre) Yo, Rob,

(Powers) Very good, | See you shortly,

I know you think you have nobody | to turn to, but you can turn to me,

What are you, my peer counselor?

I'm a cop,

- I thought you were my friend, | - Man, I am your friend,

Unless you let me know what's goin' on, | I can't help you,

We pulled a senior prank - | hot-wired Powers' car, and we totaled it,

- He'd expel us unless we boosted,,, | - Boosted the cars for him,

It would have ruined my life,

What about Warren?

He was investigating the thefts,

He must have been hiding somewhere | nearby, and then he followed us,
