"♪♪" "Dan:" "Eyes on each other." "Let's go." "run it." "Whoo!" "Wait." "Wait." "All right." "All right." "Let's pick up the pace." "Out of the way." "Out of the way." "Come on." "boys. it's not a pleasant one." "Dan:" "Okay." "we have a code of conduct." "It's a code we expect all students to adhere to." "There's an issue we've had to address involving Rebecca." "Text messages of hers have been posted online." "Texts of what?" "I think you know." "I-I don't know." "Messages in which she's arranging to sell drugs to other students." " Who's saying this?" " Including Taylor Blaine." "I want to see what... whatever supposedly..." "We're suspending..." "We're suspending Rebecca from school. we're suspending her indefinitely." "you can't do that." " Dan..." "Who..." "Who..." "Who's putting these things online?" "A flood of personal information about Leyland families has been made public." "We don't know who's doing it. and they put these things online all the time." "Rebecca's being suspended." "We've contacted the police." "Anne:" "It's the truth." "It's about the truth." "You don't have to do this." "You do not have to..." "Sir." "Anne:" "These people can't lie anymore." "They can't hide from what they've done." "Michael..." "No one is gonna get off this time." "Michael! the kids on the basketball team..." "They assaulted you." "The coach's daughter sold you drugs." "How do they know?" "texts." "There's a lot of personal information about Leyland families up online." "How did it get out there?" "it's just... it's just..." "It's just all out there. what we've been dealing with." "I don't understand what's happening." "It's a good thing." "There's enough in your favor." "it's gonna help at the trial." "You may not even have to serve time." "Maybe..." "Maybe they put you in a psychiatric hospital." "Just hang in there a little longer. did he tell you anything about his plans?" "No." "What kinds of drugs did you sell to Taylor Blaine?" "some weed and some OxyContin." "Where did you get the drugs from?" "I got the Oxy from a friend and the weed..." "Dan:" "We should have a lawyer." "We're entitled to a lawyer." "we..." "We... we don't have to say anything." "She..." "She got it from me." "I keep marijuana in the house." "She has it in candy form." "She gets migraines." "Rollins:" "Marijuana isn't legal for medicinal use in Indiana." "Right." "I'm the reason that the drugs were in the house." "You should be charging me and not..." "Possessing drugs is a misdemeanor." "Selling drugs is a felony." " What do you mean?" " She had them from me." " What..." "What are you gonna do?" " If I..." "If I..." "C-Can you just tell us what happens now?" "Rollins:" "We'll probably release your daughter on her own recognizance. anywhere from 6 months to 2 1/2 years." "S-She's never gotten in trouble before." "She's never even had a speeding ticket. but so will the fact that she was tangentially related to a homicide. and then you can take her home." "t-t-there..." "There are so many people you know?" "we'll get a lawyer." "That's the first thing." "the judge will... the more people we have speaking this crap that's online..." "That won't matter." "They can't prove it." "I told Anne Blaine." "I talked to her about Becca. and I..." "I th..." "I thought that I could reach out to her as a mother." "But why... why... why would you say anything?" "!" "I-I had to do something." "Somebody..." "Somebody had to do something." "♪♪ because things are gonna happen very quickly." "Detectives are gonna come in and talk about Taylor Blaine getting beat up." " Okay." " You all talked to me." "Kevin gave me a statement." " He did that." "I'm the one who withheld a statement." "I did that on my own." " No." " What are you talking about?" "And they're going to try to connect our e-mails about going after Anne Blaine and her medical records getting put online." "Don't say anything about that." "Keep quiet." "Nothing's gonna happen." "I'm taking the blame for this." "All you have to do..." "Take care of your son." "what did you do?" "I couldn't let Kevin take the hit." "I'm sorry." "Tell me what you did." "I told him to get rid of Kevin's confession." "Did you know about this?" "No." "We brought Kevin in here to tell the truth!" "What's the truth get us? Taylor Blaine look like a victim." "and I wasn't gonna help him walk and make Kevin look guilty." "Kevin didn't know about the beating!" "Who's gonna believe that?" "Everything that boy's mother has said about us." "lies from the truth? and our friend is gonna admit to something just to keep us out of trouble." "So now you want to get religion." "It's not time for religion." "it's not about religion." "You're digging Kevin in deeper!" "It should have never even been about him!" "and he gets caught up? it's nothing compared to what that woman has done." "Did you have anything to do with that woman's medical records coming out online?" "You know what?" "I wish I did. you're gonna tell them everything you know..." "Everything!" "You understand?" "Yeah." "So... and I get... 000." "That's a hell of a settlement." "That's hush-up money." "That's "be quiet and go away" money." "and the board wants you to stop." "I was never a problem until I started being your soldier." "You weren't a problem before you never took a stand before." "The district gave me hell for things that happened at some other school..." "A private school..." "You had a chance to defend yourself." "You wasted it." "I sat through your review." "I saw you get crushed by the whites on one side and the Hispanics on the other." "A kid got beat." "A girl got harassed." "It's not all about race." "A black student got beat." "The Hispanics rallied around their own." "And the minute a black administrator they find a way to move you out the door." "What do you think it's all about?" "I'm not getting pushed out because I was trying to do right." "Do you understand what's going on here?" "You litigate to keep your job." "That costs the district money. too. right now you're just costing the district money." "What do I do?" "I really don't know that it matters anymore." "it's not right." "the only thing I was trying to do was hold The Leyland School accountable for the damage they did to Taylor Blaine." "the people who are putting all this personal information online now..." "They're just going after anybody." "That's not how it works." " Since when are there rules?" "You went after people." "You put up e-mails." "My..." "My thing got hijacked." "I'm not trying to shame people for no reason." "You..." "You..." "You need to do something about this." "you need to stop it." "it's not that easy." "I don't even know who these people are. when people who aren't accountable start taking control?" "It was after a basketball game. you know? you know... and..." "Rollins:" "You know he was lying?" "You know he was telling the truth? and they took it for real. tell him to meet me at the 5th Street Rec Center." "you do?" "They were looking to mess somebody up." "It was Taylor or it was me." "any fag will do." "What led you to believe that?" "I don't believe it." "Wes said it." "Wes Baxter... the same boy Taylor Blaine shot?" "Yeah." "Who else?" "LeSean Young." "You and Wes were the ringleaders. and then you led a little gang to go beat him." "Really?" "I ain't saying nothing to you." "You targeted Taylor Blaine because of his sexual orientation." "You know what that is?" "That's a hate crime." "go... yourself." "Is there anything else you want to add?" "No." "What's going to happen?" "Are..." "Are you going to arrest him? he needs to be ready to repeat all of this in court." "They're gonna put me in jail." "You heard what she said." "If you testify..." "I got to go in court and say that I'm a thug and that I got the guy who says I raped him beat up?" "Curt:" "No." "You got to help yourself." "That is helping him." "That's doing for him." "you're doing this for you." "He lied about me." "He..." "He killed Wes." "But he gets to be the victim." "I told the truth." "I told the truth." "they're gonna think I attacked him." "all right?" "This isn't the rest of your life." "Things can change. and nobody cares what really happened." "How does he get to own that night?" "How does he get to own me?" "Evans:" "Barnsdall Tech Services." "yeah." "I-I-I'm looking for Evans." "This is Evans." "Hello?" "I-I-I know who you are." "I'm sorry." "I don't... and..." "And I know all the crap you're posting online. you're making it dirty." "I'm handling it my way." "You need to back off." "You hear me?" "Nobody controls the digital space." "Leave it alone." "You understand?" "I can make things..." "Chris:" "I wanted to apologize for how I handled your situation." "I was more focused on what happened between the two boys than what happened to you." "people are saying maybe I didn't do this or that because I favor black students over Hispanic students." "I would have done everything I could." "I didn't want to talk about it." "You have a right to speak up." "You know what?" "nobody's cared about me." "Tre didn't care about me when he was grabbing at me." "All I was to Mateo was something to fight over." "I was just something to get mad about." "And Taylor..." "All I was to him was a way of fooling people into thinking he's straight." "I thought Taylor was a liar 'cause he didn't tell anybody about Eric raping him." "All I got was grabbed." "I don't want to say anything to anybody." "You know what's messed up? The Leyland School." "Leyland?" "How?" "you know?" "You got to take what's in front of you." "Dan." "Hmm?" "she's only going to give you 10 minutes." "Can we talk privately?" "Leslie:" "I'm doing this as a courtesy." "say it." "my... my daughter... you know what's going on with her?" " Yes." " You..." "You know everything around the whole Taylor Blaine case." "it's just... it's toxic." "what they believe..." "It's a whole lot different than the truth." "The truth is that Becca's a good girl." "if there's anything..." "Maybe she's... every kid makes mistakes." "But you are so skilled at teaching right from wrong not just as names on a ledger." "Isn't that what you told me?" "My daughter needs help." "I-I need people to speak to what kind of person she really is." "I mean... you're in a good position." "You were in a good position not long ago." "Someone asked you to speak to what you know." "What did you say about me?" "You said you understood why someone would want to kill me." "Your daughter is a drug dealer." "Your team behaved like a gang." "But you want me to waste what capital I have attempting to..." "I-I helped you get to where you are." "That means nothing?" "What you think you did for me means absolutely nothing." " You have about five minutes." " What means something is being in a position to accomplish the things I need to accomplish here." "Leslie." "I..." "I-I-I know what it's like to... to win." "I-I-I know how good it feels. it gets in the way of everything else." "You got in your own way." "You lied." "there's a difference between lying and..." "And hiding the truth." "the other one won't?" " It's time to wrap this up." " Shut up!" "I'm tr..." "I'm trying to save my girl." "I can't help you." "Cammy:" "Hello." "This is Cammy Ross." "this is Dan Sullivan." "We spoke a couple of weeks ago." "you interviewed me about Anne Blaine." "Mr. Sullivan?" "uh... um..." "I need to contact him." "I can't really do that." "He spoke to me in confidence." "No." "I-I just need to talk to him." "um... you know what's going on." "You know what's happening with all our families." "I really..." "I-I just need to talk to him. and he can reach out to you if he wants." "please." "I got nothing to do with that." "Dan:" "Sure." "I'm serious." "I got a code." "I go after institutions." "I-I-I don't mess with people" "I-I got to be straight with you." "people talking about their morals. and their principles are dragging my daughter closer to jail." "you want to take your project back?" "You want to go after the people in power?" "These are Anne Blaine's original medical records." "Where did you get these? Leslie Graham had me do some interviews." "She basically walked me through what to say." "And I found it really odd that she knew so much about something that had just gone up online. and she acted like she didn't know what I was talking about." "um..." "I'm trusting." "I-I really am." "Very trusting." "But I'm not stupid." "Leslie... she's very careful. she'll shred them." "It's an obsession." "too." "What's that?" "I'm patient." "I'm really damn patient." "Peter:" "What did the cops say?" "Nothing." "Are you gonna go to jail?" "I don't know." "maybe not." "they'll probably let me off." "So... what now?" "I don't know." "Police are gonna do what they're gonna do." "I don't mean with them." "What about... you and me and Dad?" "I don't want us to be like how we are." "there's not much you can do." "Dad's clueless." "Mom's crazy. but you're not perfect." "You call me an ass..." "'cause I'm gay. but you want what?" "Want to hug me now?" "you came for me." "You want to tell me how much you love me and miss me?" "you came." "It can be different." "Remember..." "Remember when you and me were gonna ride our bikes all the way to Chicago?" " Stop it. threw them in a backpack?" "We got about a mile..." "Shut up." "Shut up. and you told me to turn around." "And we did." "Eric Tanner's in a position to testify that Wes and those other players assaulted you." "All you have to do is confirm it in court." "what happens? they're gonna see things different." "They're gonna let me off?" "It'll have more effect in the sentencing phase." "They're gonna convict me." "You committed involuntary manslaughter." "mitigating circumstances maybe remove it." "Eric's testimony is compelling." "What he tells a jury will matter." "How much time would I get if I took a plea deal?" " Why?" "Why would you do..." " How much time?" " You don't need a deal." " I'm talking to my lawyer." "What's the best deal you could get?" "The best. less with supervision." "That's a guess." "Maybe five years." "Served in prison." "They're trying you as an adult." "please?" "I don't want a trial." "I want to plead guilty." "listen to me." "You're..." "You're..." "You're almost there." "All you have to do is you go into court... that I got beat up?" "You were." "I go into that room one more time and act like a victim." "You were victimized." "That doesn't mean..." "How do you think it makes me feel to have my future depend on the guy who raped me?" "and he..." "He gets to be my savior?" "He gets to put on a suit and go into court and talk about how he's gonna do right?" "he's... he's..." "He's gonna help you." "The same guy who held me down and assaulted me gets to act like he give a..." "He's just trying to save himself." "Why don't you want him in court with you?" "are you..." "Are you trying to punish yourself? being destructive..." "Is that really what you want? I stopped feeling like a victim." "Did you mean to shoot that boy?" "it matters." "I'm not talking about what I was trying to do." "I'm talking about how I felt after. getting raped." "It felt good." "So not putting this on a jury or my rapist that feels good." "Serving 10 years so you can feel good?" "I can't let you do that." "Mom." "I don't feel guilty." "I'm taking responsibility." "Everyone else is taking theirs. but you can't go into court and take the guilt." "Leslie:" "It's a lie." "This is a lie." "I didn't post that woman's medical records online." "Dan is saying they came from your office." "That's not possible." "Dan is being petty." "He's being vindictive." "He's going public." "He's willing to testify." "that means what?" "A liar's willing to lie on the record? that makes any of it true?" "He's just..." "He's lashing out." "He doesn't care who he hurts." "We'll investigate that." "you're damn right we'll investigate it. he doesn't know what hurt is. and when we make a determination about the authenticity of the material..." "W-W-W-W-Wait." "Hold on." "The interim trustee's decided the best thing for the school would be for you to step down until we can determine if Dan's allegations hold merit." "If..." "You mean you believe him?" "We're concerned about how this can impact" "Anne Blaine's suit against the school." "Do you really think I would do anything like this?" "I'm careful." "I am very careful. or are you saying you wouldn't have gotten caught?" "May I speak to Dan?" "No." "Just for a minute." "I'll call the police." "Steph." "Let me talk to her." "Not in the house." "She's not coming in the house. probation after that." "Could've been better if we had more people speaking up for her." "Becca's going to be all right." "She is. trying to hurt people indiscriminately..." "I've been very focused on who I want to hurt." "It's not just me." "You've given that woman ammunition against Leyland. for every family there to... they'll all be looking at themselves a whole lot harder. we wouldn't be standing here now." "You didn't do the right thing." "All you care about is winning." "though." "Heartbroken father who builds ships in a bottle reconstructs incriminating evidence so he may speak truth to power." "people are gonna put together his wife manipulates images for a living. then put them back together." "That is a good story." "That doesn't make it the truth." "Leslie." "Take it with you when you go." "Give the school a fresh start." "Here." "Let me see." "All right." "you got it right." "all right?" "Okay." "you got it right." "all right?" "Okay." "wait." "girls." "Let's go." "and let's go." "hurry up!" "now!" "Get your bags!" "Anderson:" "This isn't a comfortable conversation." "We've known each other a long time. it's a business decision. but there are things that have come out online... let me stop you." "My son has ben exonerated in connection with this assault." " Terri..." " Hold on. they came from The Leyland School." "So anything anybody's saying about Michael..." "This isn't about your son or your husband." "There are any number of e-mails out there where you say some pretty... particularly... particularly whites. and you want to talk to me about personal e-mails?" "Okay." "There are... there's a world that we live in that's different than yours." "ever experience." "Terri... can be taken to mean something that they don't." "I wouldn't want anyone going through my e-mails... y-you talk about white entitlement." "That's nothing compared to what my family and families like ours deal with daily... we deal. but I have a right to my privacy." "but this is a publicly held company." "We told the truth." "You're gonna punish us for that?" "No one's talking "punish." "All we're taking about is giving you and your family an opportunity to reset." "Where?" "St. Louis." "It would be a lateral move in pay but with a reduced title." "Well..." "I don't know if that's going to work." "It's what's being offered." "The only other thing on the table is a severance package." "I'm sorry." "Michael:" "Not happening." "It's not... not going down like this." "No." "Take Kevin out of school senior year? and we're gonna fight this." "If these people just think they can just run us off..." "Michael:" "And for what?" "E-mails?" "E-mails." "Senior year." "Supposed to be his best one." "what it was isn't how it is." "Kevin:" "You okay?" "You and Dad okay?" "We're going to be okay." "uh..." "I'm..." "I'm really sorry..." "about everything... things that happened." "Now everybody's coming after you." "Mm." "Not coming after." "Things are catching up to us." "I'm not afraid." "if we got to go to St. Louis or..." "I don't know what's going to happen." "Dad was telling me one time why he designs the way he does." "right? we can handle it." "What?" "I love you." "too." "Butler:" "There are few people who possess the traits necessary to be a leader in private education." "This is one such person." "I'm proud to say he's our new Head of School." "Dominic Calderon." "Senator." "I am very thrilled to be standing here in front of you all." "The Leyland School is one that I have admired for years." "So to have been chosen now as your new Head of School is truly an honor." "And you all have had to weather but I believe that the character of The Leyland School has persevered." "There's a tradition of excellence here." "A tradition that can only be enhanced as the school continues to grow. a future that we can all arrive at together. for you to be held accountable for your actions." "you are charged with murder by means of involuntary manslaughter. punishable up to 30 years in prison." "Do you understand the charges you are facing?" "I do." "Has your counsel explained to you you will waive your right to a jury trial?" "She did. you will be sentenced to a term of no less than 10 years in a state-mandated facility?" "I understand." "♪♪" "I ask that you carefully consider your decision." "it cannot be rescinded." "do you accept or reject that which has been presented to you?" "♪♪"
