When Max later goes to the club to see Nick, he stays out of sight as he sees Nick getting beaten up by his boss Malik (Marshall Manesh) and his men over the theft of the tape, since Nick was the one supervising the warehouse that night, and Nick promises Malik that will get him the tape by midnight.
At school the next day, Vasquez tells Max that, if he wants to gain the full acceptance of him and his crew, he will tell Nick that the return of the tape will not come cheap. One night, Max (Francis Capra) helps Vasquez (Brandon Durand) and his friends – in an attempt to get them to ease up on bullying him – steal a $1 million pirated master cassette tape of Kazaam’s (Shaquille O’Neal) live performance earlier that night from the warehouse of the nightclub his estranged father Nick (James Acheson) works at.
