Furious, Silverio orders the gang to bring Stevens to him alive. In retaliation to the attack, Stevens sneaks into Silverio's chop shop and defeats the workers before setting a cash-filled car on fire. As a result of this incident, Stevens is accused at fault, banished from the school grounds and the capoeira program is terminated. Silverio's gang terrorizes the high school and sets fire to Kerrigan's classroom, resulting in the death of one of Stevens' students. After a field trip with his class, Stevens once again clashes with Silverio, who declares war against him. The principal, delighted, proposes a district-wide capoeira program to the school board. Stevens' class learns quickly, and they become very skilled at capoeira. The horrified Orlando resolves to learn everything he can from Stevens. Silverio is also a master of capoeira, and he engages Stevens in combat, beating him viciously. While doing so, Stevens earns the ire of the local drug lord, Silverio Aliveres (Paco Christian Prieto), whose younger cousin, Orlando Aliveres (Richard Coca), is one of Stevens' students. Kerrigan gives him the task of teaching capoeira to a handful of the worst at-risk students at the school, giving Stevens an abandoned fire station as their practice area. Kerrigan ( Geoffrey Lewis), one of Stevens' old teachers, sees the impact that Stevens has on the students. After Stevens uses his capoeira skills to kick several drug dealers off the school property, Mr. Former Green Beret Louis Stevens ( Mark Dacascos) returns to his hometown of Miami after completing military service in Brazil, only to learn that his old high school has become a haven for gangs and drug dealers. ![]()
