D.
, sir.
Well, I'll tell you what.
Why don't you just ring up the three bottles and Keep the change.
Go on.
Get out of here.
Don't I get a bag? It's against the law to have open bottles in the street, sir.
I'll need some cups, too.
Oh, thank you.
It's going Yeah! Whoa.
Hello! So what do you think so far, miss Morgan? Great boat.
It belongs to a friend of ours and it has bunks down below.
To the bunks down below! To the bunks! To the bunks down below Here's the picture of Kim Morgan.
She was found dead in a ditch near her parents' home.
Asphyxiation from aspiration.
Choking to death.
Had a lot to drink, huh? She left a dance at west chadway with three seniors.
We have their names.
There's signs of alcohol consumption Possible drugs.
We'll know after the autopsy.
She's underage.
If someone gave her drugs it could be felony murder.
But it was a big party.
Why not pull in the whole crowd? We can start with the guys she left with.
Yeah, I wish we could.
This is the westside.
Someone calls in a prowler we respond in less than three.
A chadway kid gets drunk and picked up by a cop I take him home.
I love it.
Their type never get involved in such things.
Your type, penhall.
You and hanson are transferring from westminster.
Good school.
If you can pay $6,000 a year for high school.
( Whistle ) Ioki You'll be the back-up.
Hoffs will take care of the victim's side.
Hanson, for once you'll be wearing the right duds, bub.
Oh, no.
Rotating schedule, gentlemen Seven classes in a six-period day.
Class seven starts Tuesday in the first period slot ending that day with class five in the sixth period slot, and so on.
Huh? We're co-ordinate here.
The girls' school is on the other side.
The hut is the campus lounge in the middle building.
I'm sure you'll find that.
Open campus, sir? Seniors only.
Honor students don't report till their first class.
Got it.
It's most unusual for west chadway to accept transfers mid-semester but you two have excellent credentials despite the little problem that caused your dismissal.
Thank you, sir.
Don't disappoint me.
We won't, Mr.
patton.
A.
P.
English, gentlemen.
I guess we sit here.
What the hell does "a.
P.
English" mean? Advanced placement.
If you pass a test at the end of the year you get college credit in English.
I knew that.
Gentlemen I trust you all had a pleasant break.
No casualties.
( Polite class laughter ) You've read Robert penn Warren's all the king's men.
We'll resume the festivities with a discussion of themes and symbolism.
Mr.
Crowe, could you refresh our memories of the opening passages.
A car drives down a lonely highway in a Southern state, from the capital to Mason city.
The dominant image? The heat shimmering off the roadway, obscuring whatever is ahead, further down the road.
On a roll here.
The effect on the driver Mister Rolader.
He occasionally dozes off at the wheel mesmerized by the road.
And what brings him to in each case, mister Peters? The tire slipping onto the shoulder of the road.
Correct, and welcome, sir.
Interpretation, mister Henderson Our other newcomer.
Interpretation? Yes.
( Clears throat ) Shouldn't drive too many hours without a rest break.
( Hanson laughs ) I suppose the academic standards at westminster are more uneven than we thought.
State college! All: State college! State college! Help him, Mr.
Crowe.
I'm not sure he can be helped.
It is our duty to try.
Give it your best shot.
We're all on the straight and narrow but as man is not always on the lookout he can slip off into moral decay.
I got lucky.
All the king's men was the only book I actually read in my last school.
I hate this school.
Everybody here thinks they're so smart.
They are smart.
The average college board score is 1300.
Is that good? I wouldn't know, I'm headed for state.
What's wrong with state college? Take a look Crowe and rolader.
Come on, let's practice our socialization skills.
I don't need any practice.
Hang back and follow my lead.
These are my people.
Tom hanson, "born to prep.
" Hey, guys.
We've got to talk.
What is it now, kerry? I'll tell you what it is.
Kim Morgan died Saturday night.
I just heard from haverty.
It's all over Jefferson high.
Dead? Yeah, she's dead.
What are we going to do? We're not going to do anything.
Yeah.
Bone up, Graham.
Right to your face? I can't believe it.
That's so rude.
Hanson: Hi.
We're new here.
No kidding.
Mind if we join you? We just transferred from westminster.
Escaped is more like it.
One step ahead of the man.
That's a great earring! Thanks, my mother gave them to me.
Mind if I try it on? Sure.
How long were your ears pierced? Since the night I got drunk with Bobby Atkinson and his knitting needle.
This mean we're going steady? I'll let you know.
This is my friend tom Henderson.
Hi.
You have a name? Yeah, I got a name.
Douglas Everett Peters.
So you've met the refugees.
Nice earring.
Her mother gave it to me.
Tom, get us drinks? Sure.
You should Pierce your ear Look great with your hair.
Girl: That's what I keep telling him.
Hand me that fork.
Is that what they tossed you out of westminster for? No, that was an honor code situation.
That dork violated the honor code? He's really quite corrupt once you get to know him.
Rolader here is the president of our honor council.
Can you be bought? I like this guy.
Hoffs: I'm very sorry about your daughter.
Mrs.
Morgan, I know this may not be the best time but I thought you could tell me about the party Kim went to that night.
What happened? The same thing that happened the week before and the one before that.
Maybe I shouldn't have let her go to all those parties.
She was hard to handle.
I really tried, but she liked to run after her dad died.
Is that so bad? I know that some people thought she had a bad reputation but she was just She was just 16 years old.
Kim used to hang around with the boys from west chadway? West chadway.
She used to tell me "I can marry more money in a minute than I can make in a lifetime.
" I told her those boys don't marry anyone from the east side.
Vinnie, this is officer hoffs.
She brought Kim's things over from Jefferson.
This is a big deal.
I can see they sent their most experienced officer to find out who murdered my sister.
We're not exactly sure it was a homicide.
An investigation is underway.
Yeah, sure.
Ask a couple questions file a report, and thank us for our time.
Look, I'm here to find out about your sister.
I don't care who's involved how rich they are or what car they drive.
If there's anything you know I know three rich boys got my sister so drunk she died.
And I know no matter how much hell I raise they'll never see the inside of a jail.
Absolut? Absolutely.
To the fun club.
All: The fun club.
The fun club? Thrill-seekers, risk-takers, and wealth-makers.
Also known as "the royal we" Dedicated to competition and recreation.
The man with the most toys wins.
Plebes be damned.
To taking over.
So what does your old man do? Nothing retired at 32.
My great-grandfather built the Jay street bridge and the trolley lines.
No kidding? He travel a lot? Yeah, constantly out of town.
Great.
Dr.
Harrison Crowe arrives back tomorrow.
Which means we have to change our meeting spot.
My mom's there.
She's real sick.
We can go to my buddy Henderson's place.
His folks are out of town.
Yo, dudes! Oh, no.
I brought you something.
Who let you in? Is that any way to talk to a business partner? Who's this guy? Don't worry, he's cool.
Check it out.
Hard, boys, hard.
We're not making another run till mid-semester break, curt.
You'll make another this week.
We have too much to do at school.
You had enough time for a wild date this weekend.
You know about that? Yeah, you picked a pretty stupid place to do it.
I mean, over here, over there.
I cleaned it up, though.
No big deal.
And cheap champagne I'm very disappointed in the three of you.
We're cool.
We've made enough money.
Look, the point is this We are business partners.
You party at my facilities I use your father's plane.
End of report.
You need the sun anyway.
Look at you.
Have fun for goodness sakes.
I'll be in touch.
Well, looks like we accepted the order.
You know, guys I think he's got potential.
What are you doing tomorrow? Why? We might get you something.
Yeah, like what? Initiated.
You got a passport? Sure.
Find it.
We may take you on a little adventure.
A little thrill-seeking, risk-taking and wealth-making? Hey, no risk, no rush.
Yeah.
I've talked to her teachers girls she hung out with, her mother They're all telling me the same thing.
We're not dealing with gidget.
I'm not sure this was a homicide.
So it wasn't a rape.
It's a rape as soon as she says no.
Get that straight.
Fair enough.
These guys may be into some drug thing with niles but they just don't strike me as murderers.
What happened to "I hate rich kids"? I spent time with them unlike you, whom they think is a dork.
Who they think is a dork.
Make sure you read your assignment for tomorrow.
I'd hate my cover blown because you're not Ivy league material.
I think you resented these guys until you had a chance to be one of them.
Right, now I resent you.
Cut the rebop.
Harry, run a check on that niles freak.
Hoffs, Vinnie Morgan left three messages for you.
That's Kim's brother.
Thinks his sister was a prom queen murdered by izod worshippers.
What do you think? There's a possibility.
We should check it out.
Kim Morgan may have been a party animal who died in the woods.
Bad girls don't get raped? Only good girls get raped? Excuse me, folks.
The guys downtown aren't doing back flips over our budget here.
We got bigger problems.
We need a house.
A house? What do you want with a house? These guys like to hang out at parents' houses, like mine.
They like me think I'm cool.
If you got something they can use.
I had to make it your house to keep you involved.
They think you're a waste of time.
Cool it, I'll see if I can get you a house.
Problem is we got two cases: A possible murder-rape and a drug case.
Go with the murder case.
If we're wrong, we bust them on the drugs.
Then penhall commits a crime if he goes along.
Wrong, he's undercover.
We're the good guys.
See if you can get them to invite you along.
Bust niles and maybe he'll roll over.
Tell us anything he knows about Kim Morgan.
Why would these guys run drugs when they can get all the money they need from mommy and daddy? No risk, no rush.
He walks through the front door in his three-piece suit.
Here is where the all-time prep manners of all time kick in.
Kerry turns to Mr.
kamm and extends his hand.
"Kerry Graham.
Good to see you, Mr.
kamm.
" They shake hands.
Kamm counters just as calmly.
"Good to see you, kerry.
Why don't you put on your pants?" I love it.
Your part of the story gets bigger every time.
I like to keep it visual.
Welcome to fantasy island.
Speaking of which.
Right you are.
Peters, how would you like to go on a ride? Sure, where we going? Puerto vallarta.
Puerto vallarta.
Sorry, the plane only seats four.
Why don't we assemble at your house as soon as we get back? If that's all right with you.
You want hors d'oeuvres? Shall I chill the wine? Not if it's red.
Hey, tom, relax, man.
I told you, I got you a house.
Really? Where is it? What's it look like? Is it going to be big enough? No, it's a tiny duplex on Howard street.
What do you think? Here, look at it.
Not bad.
Where did this come from? Remember that cat What's his name? Jason DeMarco? Built the $100,000 sports car that wouldn't work in reverse? That's the one.
The I.
R.
S.
Confiscated his property after the security exchange commission nailed him.
Serves him right.
Yeah? Hi, I'm returning your call.
I wanted to find out if you got anything on Crowe and his buddies.
How did you know about Crowe? I broke into my sister's diary.
When you came over to my house you told me you would do something.
Nothing's being done.
I've got some names for you Scott Crowe, Taylor rolader and kerry Graham.
We know about them.
Then arrest them.
If and when we have reason, they'll be brought in.
Right.
Let me lay it out, officer hoffs.
You guys don't do something about this I'm going to.
Take the law into your hands I'll bust you.
Bust me? Catch me first.
I've talked to a lot of people.
Maybe you should accept the possibility you don't know your sister.
I'm just sick of them.
I used to carry their clubs around the golf course.
I used to cut their lawns.
Now I fix their cars because they don't want to get their hands dirty changing spark plugs.
We're just not good enough for them.
Except for providing a few basic services.
Nice car.
Dad's? Yeah, but it comes with a rude driver.
I'm off at five.
Still have the shopping to do.
You get off when I say you get off, okay? Where's Peters? We made him fly commercial.
See? Piece of cake.
Very funny.
We couldn't take a chance of dad's plane being seized.
Ioki: Chop, chop, guys.
Let's move it.
I don't work for you, Mr.
Henderson, junior.
Hey, you want me to tell Mr.
Henderson, senior about you taking the Ferrari to the kick boxing matches? You're a pain in the neck, Mr.
junior.
You'll get it one day.
I'm warning you.
Shut you and drive the car, will you? We'll call niles and have him meet us there.
What's the address? 4087 Conway valley road.
You follow us.
You stay close.
You're all a pain in the neck.
Hanson: How was the trip? Uneventful.
Aside from my walk through customs with a kilo of cocaine in a false-bottom suitcase.
You what? You muled it through? So now we don't have a case.
I had no choice.
It would have blown my cover.
Baggage claim tag was attached to my ticket.
If the murder bust doesn't sing we've got no drug case because you're implicated.
Penhall: I feel bad enough.
You wouldn't believe how they've got it wired down there.
House on the beach.
Private airstrip nearby.
One lousy phone call and they get a kilo of pure stuff delivered right to their house within an hour.
Hola! Quien quiere la cocaine? Ioki: While you were gone we got back the coroner report.
Kim Morgan had intercourse that night with several people.
There's also internal signs of trauma and a struggle.
Definite rape, probable homicide.
What business did you say your father was in? Huh? What business did you say your father was in? My father's an arbitrager.
Rolader: I thought anyone who was smart was into refinancing third world debt.
( Doorbell rings ) Crowe: The doc's throwing a cocktail party tonight.
Why don't you guys stop by? Penhall: We'll see.
What time? Cocktail hour.
Nice digs.
I've seen this place before.
Maybe it's the decor.
Everybody has these couches.
Well, my father bought it from a famous guy.
Jason DeMarco.
Oh, yeah, the sports car guy.
There were pictures of him and that 19 year old babe he married.
Jason DeMarco, what a character.
Guy makes a little money and thinks he's above the law.
The nouveau they never learn.
All right, give me the stuff.
I'm in a hurry.
Come on, I'm in a hurry.
Not bad.
Last batch was better.
We took our cut, the rest is weight.
I trust you.
You're President of the honor council, aren't you? Betty's in a wet t-shirt feeling foolish and vain Hoffs: Jenk says just follow him.
Make sure he's not a middleman.
Penhall thinks we can put these guys at the scene.
We bust niles for the coke.
Leverage it for what he knows about Kim Morgan.
We could get an indictment.
Hoffs: What's he doing? Hanson: We'll soon find out.
What can I do for you? I want to party.
What can I get for $100? Just tell me what you want.
I want to go around the moon.
For $100 all you get is jail.
You're busted, pal.
Hoffs: Oh, no.
Hanson: Vice sweep holy cow! Was that on the sheet? No, don't blow your cover.
Damn, we should have took him five minutes ago.
Jenks is going to love this.
( Guitar note echoes ) Yo, jenk.
Hey, man, dig it.
( Guitar chord ) Jenk, we got a problem.
What is it? Niles got picked up in a John trap before we busted him.
Oh, terrific.
Where? Grand Avenue and third.
77th precinct.
You know who the night commander is over there? Uh, no.
He has a kilo of cocaine sitting in that bronco.
If somebody finds it Relax, there could be a cold stiff and the vice wouldn't know it.
Unless it sat up and propositioned somebody.
Hello, Wes? It's jenks.
Making any headway? I hope so.
I need to lose a guy in the system that got popped by an undercover hooker.
Who is your night commander? Jacobson.
Good luck.
I thought Jake the rake was at division.
When they had the cutback they dropped him down and gave him a command.
He still outranks you but he's running this store.
He hates your guts ever since you lost in Vietnam for him.
No sweat, man.
I know how to talk his language.
You work out of the chapel? Yes, sir.
I need this particular John cut loose before he gets bound over to superior court.
Here's the deal.
This is an unusually tough case due to the age and social status of the suspects involved.
Did you know those insignias haven't been regulation since '68? These insignias? Huh.
Do I know you? Me? I don't think so, sir.
The thing is this niles person you're holding is in all probability a material witness to a homicide.
We can't force this person to roll over on our suspects if he is in jail on a soliciting rap.
See what I mean? You'll need an s-17, 440 in triplicate.
If it fits in with procedure you'll get what you want.
Thank you, sir.
Are you sure I don't know you? No, sir.
Hoffs.
Officer hoffs.
Don't ask me who I am.
I want to talk to officer hoffs.
My sister was raped and they're throwing a party over there.
She gave me her card.
She said to call Hello? Hello? And this acquaintance of yours called and said to get him out of jail? That's right, uncle Kent.
What was the charge? Crowe: He didn't say on the phone but he had a kilo of cocaine on him.
Why do you have such an interest in this Mr.
niles? We'd like to keep him happy.
We don't trust him.
Can I assume you have some business dealings with him? Sort of.
Hypothetically speaking if he were to mention to the police something about someone he knows in exchange for a reduced charge on the drug possession Rolling over.
What exactly could this acquaintance of yours tell the police about his friends? He could tell them about an incident that could be misconstrued as a triple rape and a possible homicide.
I'm very disappointed in you boys.
This could be a very bad situation.
Believe me when I tell you we find the whole situation most regrettable.
Perhaps you should tell me all about this.
Then we can see if we can arrange something.
Sir, I plan to attend Princeton in the fall.
Do you think this will affect my admission? You didn't mention it on your application, did you? No.
Can I help you? No.
Are you a guest of the party? Yeah, I'm the guest of honor.
Why didn't I get these messages? When did these come in? I got them from downtown.
You know they screen calls.
Geez, what's wrong with those guys? ( Phone rings ) Lou's deli.
Jude, it's me.
Did you get niles out? I didn't, but somebody sure as hell did.
I'm with Jake the rake 90 sweet minutes and Wes says the creep is bailed out.
By who? That's the question.
I want you and ioki to follow him.
You've got ten minutes while they stall the processing.
( Slow rock beat ) at grand Avenue and third.
No thanks.
I believe prostitution is a serious moral offense.
You're under arrest.
For looking at hookers? For possession of narcotics.
Freeze! You're the houseboy.
That's my day job.
Look, I told you I don't know anything about a wild party.
You cleaned it up, remember? "Cheap champagne.
" You must have "hearsayed" incorrectly.
You think you're real smart, don't you? That's a non sequitur, so I'm not sure how to answer.
Do you want an answer? You know what happened, and you know how it happened.
A few of your creepy friends As in Crowe, rolader and Graham Went to a party.
They met a young woman and got her very loaded on booze, drugs, whatever.
The next morning the same young woman is found dead in a ditch near her parents' home.
We also got you for possession of a kilo of a controlled substance commonly known as cocaine street valued at $120,000.
For that alone, Mr.
slime, you can be sent away for a considerable amount of time.
Think about it.
That's what's called your basic plea bargaining.
Where's my attorney? We've been having trouble with our phones.
Hey, winners, make sure that lawyer's on his way.
Tell us about Kim Morgan.
I don't know Kim Morgan.
Read my lips.
I don't How much did those rich punks pay you to go to jail for them? You're wrinkling my shirt.
Two hundred grand? You could be making $300,000 dealing.
You'll be losing money in jail.
First, I don't know what you're talking about.
Second, I've made some prudent investments.
Hey, forget it, bud.
He'll do a couple of years for drugs and have this big pile of money waiting for him when he gets out.
"My future's so bright" This creep goes to prison, does his two years I'll be waiting at the gate with a bat for him.
Get in line.
They have to live with what they did.
Is this "the telltale heart?" They don't feel a thing.
It's bred out of them.
All they do is compete and win.
That's what they teach at west chadway.
They're laughing at us because they beat us.
In other words, they got away with it.
Yeah.
You'll let that happen? What should I do? Go over to the house and knock the door down? That's okay, we let ourselves in.
Hey, hey.
If it isn't the boys from westminster.
A little birdie in jail told us that you two were police officers.
Rolader: Since we're taxpayers I guess that means you work for us.
Would you get me a vodka Martini, please? We should have anticipated that.
Drugs are against the law, right, Doug? What is this? A gram of coke? See, I'm not going to bust you for that because we got something big.
We're going to be your worst nightmare Middle class punks with badges and permission to kick your tail.
You've seen too many movies.
We got your buddy, niles.
He's going to roll over and sing like a bird.
I don't think so.
We heard he had a memory lapse.
Yeah, must have been the drugs.
That you brought into the country.
Don't get up.
Think that's funny, kerry? You may have miscalculated.
The judge won't give him three years He'll get ten.
Poor curt.
Poor fun club.
There's going to be a change of venue.
And he is not going to like this new judge.
As a matter of fact, this particular judge might jar his memory a bit when he tells him his philosophy on the evils of drug smuggling.
I'm worried.
Can you tell? How about you, kerry? You worried? We're talking about a leveraged buyout against future commodities traders.
Know what I mean? He'll talk so much, he'll make stuff up.
Yeah.
You're bluffing.
You're right, it's a bluff.
Yeah, just a bluff.
Penhall: Nice house.
Bye, guys.
You think they're serious? You heard what your uncle said.
He took the deal.
He took the money.
I don't know.
They're just trying to psych us out.
I never should have let you guys do this to me.
I never should have Bone up, Graham.
Trust us.
We're in this together.
I don't know about you guys but I got exam in the morning.
This thing's handled.
You guys can worry all you like.
I'm going home.
See you tomorrow at school.
Guy here says he knows all about Kim Morgan.
I'm on my way out.
Can I help you? Look, about this Kim Morgan matter Yeah? I just can't have this on my conscience anymore.
A couple of my friends were involved.
I'll tell you exactly what happened that night but I want you to get the d.
A.
Down here and arrange immunity for me.
Okay? She gets raped and murdered And one of the guys walks.
It's not right, jenk.
Niles has a drug beef.
He was headed there.
Rolader's out there playing tennis because he outwitted the other two.
Damn good job, bud.
We got lucky.
We were playing on kerry's insecurities.
It worked.
We bagged three instead of four.
You made the best deal you could.
It just doesn't feel right.
Don't sweat the small stuff, pal.
It all evens out.
Cosmic justice? Cosmic, divine justice Whatever you want to call it.
Sooner or later guys like these freaks get theirs.
Ever stop to think what Jason DeMarco was like in the 11th grade? Hey, get off my car.
You Taylor rolader? Yeah, who are you? I'm Vinnie Morgan Kim Morgan's brother.
What do you want? What are you going to do? What did you do to my sister? Hey, come on, man.
( Gunshot )
