00:18The Narrow River killing refers to the brutal murder of Paul Sparling.
00:24Fellow student Shane Martin was arrested for first-degree murder,
00:27though it was widely believed his classmate Oliver St. Ledger was responsible for the crime.
00:34When I was in high school a kid drowned. I was, um, involved. Paul just attacked Shane.
00:40And Shane just kept on pushing Paul's head underwater.
00:43Ciara, fucking liar.
00:45Ciara, what are you talking about?
00:47Don't follow me!
00:48Did you forget the restraining order, Shyla?
00:50You need to get Oliver St. Ledger away from my family.
00:53I don't know what you're talking about.
00:54Oliver St. Ledger is living with my little sister.
00:58Megan?
00:59What the fuck, Shyla?
01:01I am going to help you get rid of him.
01:03I'm gonna take care of it.
01:04No, you.
01:05Shyla, I need you to trust me that I'm gonna handle this on my own.
01:09Oliver, are you there?
01:10This woman, Ciara, is not who you think she is.
01:14It's Megan Martin.
01:16She's Shane's sister.
01:18It's okay, Dan.
01:19He knows.
01:34Anything they started off fighting about, he can bring it back to that.
01:37I mean, this time, it's about how my mom never puts gas in the car and he always has to
01:41do it when he's already late.
01:43You know, and somehow he brings it back to how my school wants me to apply to all these private,
01:46out-of-state D1 colleges for lacrosse.
01:48And it makes him look like the bad guy, because he can't afford any of them.
01:51Shane, I mean, your dad is the Kevin Garnett of talking shit about Bridgefield.
01:56You know, and also, there's such thing as lacrosse scholarships.
02:00Ivies don't have athletic scholarships.
02:01And nowhere else is gonna be a four-ride.
02:03Whatever.
02:03I mean, talking about why all these schools are no-goes also pisses them off.
02:07I mean, you're so lucky.
02:08Yeah, I know you think so.
02:10I'm not even talking about being able to afford Stanford.
02:13Being able to afford to buy Stanford and rename it after yourself.
02:16St. Ledger University.
02:18Hey, shut up.
02:18Shut up, dude, please.
02:20I'm talking about not having to listen to your parents screaming at each other every five minutes
02:25over something you can't change and neither can they.
02:27Well, I mean, to want to argue about shit, you kinda gotta care about it.
02:31No, it's not that difficult.
02:33Well, I mean, any time mine won't stop caring so much, that would be great.
02:36But they won't, because they can't live unless they're up my ass.
02:39My sister can't either.
02:40I mean, Shiloh moved to fucking Pawtucket.
02:41She's still trying to be my boss.
02:44What I would give...
02:45Here we go.
02:46...to be you for one day.
02:48Just one, just to try it, just to see.
02:49Not even for the money, just for the, like, silence.
02:59That guy might have told Pawtucket we would be here.
03:01Whatever, he's not a bad guy if you give him a chance.
03:03Nah, you say that every single time.
03:06Nah, he's just insecure.
03:07I promise, if you hang in there, eventually it stops being such a dick.
03:11Prove it.
03:12What does that even mean?
03:13Sup, fuckheads?
03:18You gonna be okay?
03:19What's up?
03:19Sup as I fucking ran here.
03:21You're kidding.
03:22From Bridgefield?
03:22Yeah, that's right, shithead.
03:24Wow.
03:25I mean, I know Coach said you need to do more cardio, but damn.
03:31You guys are so into this place.
03:33I think it was cool for, like, you know, five minutes in middle school.
03:37Jesus.
03:38And don't you literally have, like, a massive house with a fucking helipad?
03:44He doesn't have a path.
03:45Why would anybody want to hang out here instead of there?
03:47Your dad have, like, no peasant rule or something?
03:50Oh, because I'm a peasant, right?
03:52A scholarship peasant?
03:53Yeah, I've been in there.
03:54Has your dad even lived in that house before?
03:56Like, uh, even when you were a baby?
04:00Because my dad says your dad hasn't been back to Narragansett since, like, the 90s.
04:04How would your dad even know that?
04:05Well, he's in global finance, too, dude.
04:07People talk to each other.
04:08It's a network.
04:09Who cares?
04:10All these houses fucking freezing and none of the furniture
04:13is comfortable, okay?
04:14Yeah.
04:16What the?
04:17Are you fucking kidding me?
04:18There's mosquitoes now?
04:19Come on.
04:20Is your mom in town?
04:21Is that why we can't go to your house?
04:23What's your fucking deal, dude?
04:24Uh, it's buggy and clammy here, and it doesn't not smell like pee.
04:28You have a house, too, dipshit?
04:30Yeah.
04:30Well, they're selling it.
04:33Because the whole divorce is my dad punishing my mom for getting mad at him for cheating.
04:39So...
04:40That's hard.
04:42I'm really sorry.
04:46Thanks.
04:49Hey, how is your mom doing?
04:50Shittily.
04:51Why?
04:52Just sucks, that's all.
04:55Makes total sense why she'd be having a tough time with everything.
04:58Yeah.
05:00Makes total sense your mom would be running her mouth again about someone she barely fucking knows.
05:04Fuck you.
05:05She knows her.
05:06Yeah, from sidelines and sport banquets, but not really.
05:08What are you even talking about?
05:09You just seem like you know something, Shane, so you tell me.
05:12Your mom's the one saying shit she heard from somebody who heard it from somebody like it's fucking real.
05:16She saw it in the paper.
05:17Who reads the local news?
05:18No one.
05:20When MPD arrests someone, it's always in the local police blotter.
05:23I'm not saying it should be, but...
05:24She didn't think she was gonna need a basket, and then she had too many things in her hands, so
05:27she was gonna go get one.
05:29I mean, she didn't even leave the fucking store, and now everybody thinks she's a fucking thief.
05:40You know what? I'm sorry.
05:42Yeah, I'm sorry too.
05:43Yeah.
05:44I'm sorry your mom's a bitch.
05:46You won't shut the fuck up.
05:47Fuck the...
05:50Man, what's your fucking problem?
05:51Fuck!
05:55Hey, guys!
05:56You fucking bitch!
05:57Guys!
05:58Fuck you!
06:00Take a fucking sec!
06:02Take a sec, okay?
06:03Come on!
06:03Chill out.
06:07Who are you to wave your finger?
06:11You must have bit out your head.
06:16I hold deep in muddy waters.
06:20You're practically raised by...
06:22Shut up!
06:24Shut up!
06:35You're a half.
06:39You're hacking.
06:39Get off your death!
06:43You'reех'
06:43You're missing god...
06:44Who have you been to believe?
06:46I, for sure!
06:54To love.
06:54Ready, go!
07:25Steven Lee, you get out.
07:27How are you gonna take care of it?
07:48If I say it's self-defense...
07:50If I just tell them that it's self-defense...
07:52They're gonna say it's self-defense.
07:55But if we just...
07:56Because it was you that did it.
07:58You weren't defending yourself.
08:01Look...
08:03We didn't go to the Narrows today after school.
08:05And we didn't know Paul was gonna be there.
08:07He didn't ask me to hang out after practice
08:09and he wouldn't have asked you anything
08:11because you're not even fucking friends.
08:14I had to go home and babysit my sister anyway.
08:17So you gave me a ride and then you what?
08:23Say it!
08:24I...
08:27I went home...
08:30And I studied for chem...
08:33until I got a headache
08:34and then I... and then I went to bed.
08:44What about... what about your, um...
08:49Well, I...
08:50I wiped out drinks, co-angels, and...
08:52someone must have stepped on me.
08:57I'm sorry.
09:00I'm sorry.
09:02I'm sorry.
09:03I know you were just trying to help me.
09:07Save me.
09:10You probably did.
09:13Thanks.
09:42What are you doing?
09:44Nothing.
09:44Nothing.
09:48Where were you?
09:51Those are dirty.
09:53Yeah, whatever.
09:54Why you wet?
09:55I took a shower.
09:56When?
09:57Just now.
09:58When I thought I heard something outside.
10:01What did you do to your face?
10:03Nothing.
10:04You look like you...
10:04No, I don't!
10:05Megan!
10:12I got fouled at practice.
10:14Alright?
10:14And then I came home and I took a shower.
10:16And I'm back in here.
10:17With you.
10:18Like I have been this whole time.
10:21Are you okay?
10:26Yeah, I'm fine.
10:29I'm hungry.
10:31You wanna make stovetop s'mores?
11:05I'm hungry.
11:08Yeah, I'm hungry.
11:10You know.
11:11Yeah, all right.
11:12Yeah, bye!
11:56Hey, Oliver.
11:57I don't have him, but I maybe might this weekend.
12:00It has to be him.
12:01Now.
12:03I'm sorry.
12:05It's really important.
12:08I hope you think so.
12:10Okay.
12:17Hello?
12:18Can anyone hear us?
12:20Gretchen and Kenji, if you're on, get off.
12:24So what's so cloak and dagger in you?
12:26I killed someone.
12:27What?
12:30Who?
12:35Paul.
12:37Paul Sparling.
12:40You're sure he's dead?
12:50Yeah.
12:52We were at the Narrows.
12:54Who's we?
12:58Me, Shane, Martin, and Paul.
13:01Who else?
13:02It was just us.
13:05Okay.
13:06Stop talking.
13:07I need to think.
13:18Oliver.
13:19I'm Detective Sheehan.
13:21My lieutenant's just getting off a call, but we can start.
13:23Is this being recorded, Jerry?
13:26I'm out of custodial interrogation, so I want to make some notes, but first things first.
13:32Your lawyer here, Mr. Sykes, he filled me in a little bit on what happened.
13:35But obviously, I want to hear it from you.
13:38Can you tell me about it?
13:40Just start wherever you're comfortable.
13:42If I have any questions, I'll ask.
13:48Yeah, I was, um, I was home, and I'd been studying all night because I had a midterm coming up,
13:56and I didn't really understand the material.
13:59But I, uh, I forgot to eat.
14:02So, uh, after a little while, like, I got a headache, and, um, I set an alarm for early so
14:09I can, uh, wake up and do some more in the morning.
14:13But then I, uh, I woke up, uh, because someone was, um, was, uh, buzzing to be let in.
14:23And who was that?
14:26Um, that was, uh, Shane, Shane Martin.
14:31Shane Martin, okay.
14:33And this was what time?
14:37This was around midnight.
14:41Last chance. No idea.
14:43You have no idea?
14:45No.
14:46You can't think of a single thing happening they might want to talk to you about?
14:49Right, and I don't buy it, is why I keep asking.
14:51Because I want to have some idea of what kind of buzzsaw we're about to walk into.
14:55You knock out some more street lights, or steal some shit your buddies think is nothing, but to regular people
15:00means real money.
15:01God, like you and your friends never gotten into anything stupid before.
15:04Except, you know what, no one at your school ever got into an Ivy League college.
15:07Probably doesn't even know what one is.
15:08Oh, shh.
15:10So Shane's going to the Ivy League now.
15:12Wow, really, wow.
15:14When were you guys gonna tell me that?
15:15After we talked to the cops, I guess?
15:17Could you have a little faith in your son, please?
15:19He's a good kid.
15:20I have no faith in my son, right?
15:21He's a good kid, and he's a great kid.
15:22So you're on with that whole narrative again, that I have no faith in my son.
15:25He could have a better future.
15:28He could have a better future.
15:32I've got nothing to do.
15:34Hey, great to see you.
15:36Fabulous.
15:37You're a kid too, you're a man.
15:39Listen, I wanted to tell your father he said he wanted to.
15:41I think he didn't want to put the mails.
15:44The reason they're out of here.
15:48Stop, stop, Shane!
15:49What's up?
15:50Pete, Pete, Pete!
15:51Pete!
15:52Pete, Pete!
15:54Now, stop it!
15:55Hold on!
15:55Stop!
15:56Come on!
15:56Get out of here!
15:58Stop it! Get out of here!
15:59Where are you going? Where are you going?
16:01Get back inside.
16:44Get back inside.
17:14Get back inside.
17:32Get back inside.
17:35We're kind of close there, Otis.
17:38Hey, Oliver, a little bit.
17:39Seven minutes till morning announcements.
17:43If I had that car, I'd probably want to hang out in it all day, too.
17:45But you're about to get one demerit for being late
17:48and another for ignoring me to my fate.
17:50Oh, my God, are you all right?
17:52Hey, Oliver, can you open the door?
17:53Jesus, where's my...
17:55We need to call 911.
17:56Please, please, please.
17:58Please don't.
18:00Please.
18:03I still think we should at least go to urgent care.
18:05I feel way better now.
18:08I really do.
18:09All right.
18:11Snell, an hour ago you were passing out in your car.
18:17Uh, amoxicillin.
18:19Here.
18:21Take two. Maybe four.
18:25Why do you just have these?
18:26Dog bite.
18:27In the stop and shop parking lot.
18:30Apparently different tail waggings have different meanings.
18:33I thought a dog wagging its tail always means friendly.
18:36It does not.
18:39Yeah, I thought that, too.
18:40Yeah, well, now we both know better.
18:52Hey, what about your mom?
18:54What if we called her?
18:55No, I think it's, uh...
18:56I think it's 12 hours ahead there.
18:57Well, still wouldn't be past 11 p.m.
18:59I don't think that there's reception.
19:01There's gonna be reception at a resort.
19:02Uh, she's off the coast.
19:04It's her friend's boat.
19:06Um, and the school knows.
19:07She told them.
19:08I'm gonna have them mark you in excused absence.
19:11I'll say, I saw you and I sent you home sick.
19:14It's not even a lie.
19:18And I'll leave you the amoxicillin.
19:20Take a couple more tonight.
19:22Look.
19:23Look, I know.
19:26You were good friends with Shane and Paul.
19:29I know you're having a hard time right now.
19:32I wish you weren't having it alone.
19:34Go easy on yourself, okay?
19:37Understand that...
19:39something terrible has happened to you, too.
19:44Try to give yourself a little grace.
19:53Uh, wait, uh...
19:55Uh, please, wait.
20:01And you're what again?
20:02Uh, guidance counselor?
20:04School counselor.
20:05What kind of background is a school counselor supposed to have in this kind of thing?
20:09Well, I'm actually a licensed independent clinical social worker.
20:13But I'm working towards getting licensed in Rhode Island as a clinical mental health counselor.
20:19And what makes you think my son needs your help?
20:23Uh, I'm not saying it has to be me.
20:27But...
20:30From the amount of detail Oliver gave me about his present headspace and what led to it, he's gonna need
20:38therapy from someone.
20:40And what amount of detail would that be exactly?
20:44Clinically.
20:47Enough?
20:49Enough for what?
20:52It's enough to know what really happened.
20:57Every time I think there's nothing left that can surprise me.
21:01Every time I think there's nothing left that can surprise me, I'll put you in touch with my personal accountant.
21:13Mom?
21:15Yeah?
21:20Do you want tea?
21:24No.
21:33I understand.
21:35This may be weird at first.
21:40It's okay.
21:41You do this too.
21:42You know, you see people outside of school.
21:44So, my real life goal was always this.
21:49So, I'm your first patient?
21:53Yeah.
21:54Kind of are.
21:58Don't you have to be able to come clean?
22:03Tell the truth, you know?
22:06Be honest.
22:08What are you saying? You haven't been honest with me?
22:12You didn't tell me the truth?
22:15Of course I have, yes.
22:17I did.
22:19Okay then.
22:21It's gonna work.
22:23Hey, it's already working.
22:28Just saying.
22:31You're not, man.
22:32I been standing by her.
22:32You're not.
22:33You're not.
22:33You should be in.
22:39I'm not.
22:40You're not.
22:40You're not.
22:41And I was, you're not.
22:44You're not.
22:44You're not.
22:44You're not.
22:45You're not.
22:48You're not.
22:50You're not...
22:52Oh, my God.
23:20Yo, Shyla, you want to meet us at the crib?
23:22No, I can't. Do a shooter for me.
23:29Hello?
23:30Hey, McGaggy.
23:31Hi, Shy.
23:33Hello?
23:34It's not Shane, Mom.
23:36Don't tie up the phone.
23:39She just talked to him yesterday, didn't she?
23:41They're not going to let him call her again today.
23:43I don't. She knows what day it is.
23:46When are you coming home?
23:4820 minutes. I'm leaving work right now.
23:50Just do us all a favor
23:52and stay out of her way, okay?
23:55Okay.
23:59You all packed?
24:01You travel Tuesday, right?
24:03Boy.
24:05Orientation's probably going to be pretty hectic.
24:08A lot of new people,
24:11new living situation.
24:16What? What are you thinking right now?
24:21That you were right.
24:23That I might not be ready right now
24:27to go to Stanford.
24:32That I can't.
24:36Have you talked about any of this
24:38with your dad?
24:43No.
24:47Well,
24:49you need to, Ollie.
24:54Call him
24:56and tell him.
24:59I can't.
25:01You want me to do it?
25:05Please.
25:05Yes.
25:07Okay.
25:11Oliver St. Ledger,
25:12he dropped my brother off
25:13at our house in his car.
25:15Are you aware Mr. St. Ledger
25:16says he did not see your brother after school
25:18until Shane came to his house
25:20after midnight?
25:22Yes, I am,
25:22but it's not true.
25:23What the hell are you doing?
25:25Are you,
25:26are you playing at trial or something?
25:28Is it,
25:29is it supposed to be funny?
25:30No.
25:30Because it isn't.
25:32I know.
25:33I did see him.
25:36Shane didn't come right home after practice.
25:38He didn't come home till later.
25:39And when he did,
25:41I saw him.
25:42I saw him getting out of Oliver's car.
25:45I can't believe you're doing this right now.
25:46I cannot believe you can't see
25:48how wrong it is
25:50for you to do this right now.
25:51It's not like that.
25:52It's really true.
25:53It's never like that.
25:54Right?
25:56Like,
25:56like when your teacher kicked you.
25:58Like when the woman in the stop and shop
25:59tried to kidnap you.
26:00It's never about you wanting attention.
26:02It's always true.
26:03The jury
26:04is deciding
26:05right now, Megan.
26:07Remember?
26:08They're all sitting in a room talking
26:11about whether
26:12they're gonna send your brother to prison
26:14for life.
26:18Now, I'm sorry.
26:20that we are all so terrified
26:21of that,
26:22that we can't put our attention on you.
26:23I'm sorry that this is the worst fucking thing
26:25that's ever happened in the world,
26:27and you still have to make it about you.
26:41The people of the state of Rhode Island
26:43versus Shane Martin.
26:45Verdict,
26:46count one,
26:47voluntary manslaughter.
26:49We, the jury,
26:50find the defendant
26:51guilty.
27:07Six minutes,
27:09eleven seconds,
27:09actually.
27:11Very good for my age, huh?
27:14For anybody's age.
27:16What were you last time
27:18you were in the pool?
27:20Uh, 3.17.
27:22The fuck?
27:23You're going backwards now.
27:25Are you even practicing?
27:29I'm not really sleeping lately.
27:37Since the verdict.
27:40I get it.
27:42All the more reason to stay disciplined.
27:45Here's the thing.
27:46Practice.
27:47You have to do it every day.
27:49You're staying on it, right?
27:51Grow your capacity.
27:53Your number grows.
27:54It's like anything.
27:55Just keep at it.
27:57Let me know.
28:06Sometimes I just feel like
28:07I have to call Shane,
28:09but that's stupid
28:10because you can't call, so...
28:12No, you can't call.
28:15I tried to go see him
28:17to be put on his visitor's list
28:19or whatever.
28:25When, um...
28:26When did you do this?
28:28I don't know.
28:29A month ago.
28:31They said he said no.
28:34Oh, well.
28:37That's understandable too, though, right?
28:42If he said yes, would, uh...
28:45So I try to write it in a letter.
28:51I am disappointed.
28:53He didn't feel like this was something
28:55you could talk over with me first.
28:57It felt like I could start
28:59with this.
29:04But then I felt like
29:07if I send it,
29:09is he even gonna open it?
29:14And if he doesn't open it,
29:16then maybe sending it
29:17at all
29:18is still the point.
29:20I don't...
29:21I don't know.
29:23Okay.
29:24Okay, what about this?
29:26Shane knows me
29:27from school.
29:30What if I have to be
29:31put on his visitor's list?
29:33I don't say why.
29:36But I take that with me.
29:39And I read it.
29:42Out loud.
29:43And whatever happens next
29:44is up to him.
29:55I'm just sorry
29:56I couldn't make myself
29:57do it before.
29:59And I know
30:00it won't make me a good person
30:02to do the right thing now,
30:03but still.
30:05I'm gonna fix everything.
30:10I promise.
30:18You look a little...
30:19The food's pretty bad here.
30:21They serve it at weird times,
30:22whatever.
30:25I don't know why
30:26I didn't think
30:26you'd actually come.
30:27I don't know why
30:28it took me so long to ask.
30:29I mean,
30:30we didn't ever talk
30:31all that much in school,
30:32so...
30:34I'm sorry.
30:34I'm not saying that
30:34for, like, blame.
30:35No, I know you're not.
30:36It just doesn't reflect
30:37very well on me, though.
30:41So, can I ask
30:43how you are?
30:48I'm so sorry
30:49about all of this.
30:51It's just...
30:51It's really terrible.
30:54Yeah.
30:55Yeah, it's pretty terrible.
30:56Yeah.
31:00In full disclosure,
31:01and I know
31:02I should have said this
31:03up front
31:03when I first asked
31:04to come see you...
31:04Are you gonna try
31:05and write a book
31:06or something?
31:07Oh.
31:08Uh...
31:09No.
31:13I'm working with Oliver.
31:18Working with him how?
31:19Uh, just...
31:20counseling him
31:22as his therapist.
31:24So you're with him, then?
31:26Yeah, I wouldn't let him in,
31:27so he sent you?
31:29No.
31:31Although, obviously,
31:33that's a very logical
31:34first question to ask.
31:35What does he need therapy for?
31:37Huh?
31:38Does he feel bad
31:39for what he did?
31:39Actually, yeah, he does.
31:41Which part?
31:42Killing Paul?
31:44Killing me?
31:47I understand.
31:48It must feel...
31:50unbelievable.
31:51What must?
31:52I don't know.
31:54How the world...
31:56just...
31:57still turning...
31:59like you were never
32:00even in it.
32:03Like all I am...
32:05is this thing
32:05I didn't do,
32:06you mean?
32:07All because I was stupid
32:09and tried to help my friend?
32:12Do you guys talk about that?
32:14In your little fucking
32:15therapy sessions?
32:16What he did to me
32:17for trying to help him?
32:19Because if anything else,
32:21you're just another person
32:21getting paid
32:22to listen to him lie.
32:25Shane,
32:27it doesn't matter
32:28what Oliver's told me.
32:29My job isn't to judge
32:31what the truth is.
32:33And I wouldn't be in charge
32:35of anything,
32:35even if it was.
32:37It's more that
32:38his pain
32:39has made me think
32:41about yours.
32:42And how...
32:43I just...
32:44I can't imagine
32:45what you're going through.
32:46Or the strength
32:47I know you'll need to find.
32:49For what?
32:51I have strength.
32:52I know you do.
32:53See, I remember
32:54that about you.
32:55Like you said,
32:55we didn't talk much,
32:56but still,
32:57I could tell
32:57you had character.
33:00Integrity that...
33:01those things
33:01matter to you.
33:08Just...
33:11Before I came
33:11to Bridgefield,
33:12I was a social worker.
33:14This was in Connecticut.
33:16And a lot of my clients
33:17were in your situation
33:19with public defenders
33:20who were no match
33:21for white shoes.
33:22And?
33:23One of my clients.
33:26Dawn.
33:27Uh,
33:28her husband was doing
33:2915 to life
33:30in McDougal.
33:32Dave had a carpet-laying business
33:34with his cousin,
33:34and the cousin had a
33:35shady side thing
33:36where a guy ended up
33:38getting killed over money,
33:39and the cousin
33:40took a plea
33:41saying it was all Dave.
33:45And, you know,
33:45Dave just thought
33:47he didn't do it,
33:48and that would prevail.
33:52He did not
33:53stop his frustration
33:54and rage
33:55from getting him
33:56into situations
33:56that just added
33:57more years
33:58to his sentence
34:00where I ought to live
34:01knowing he was
34:03only in prison
34:03in the first place
34:04off a lie
34:05from someone he trusted.
34:08And compared to you,
34:11he was lucky.
34:14He wasn't up
34:15against people
34:15with enough money
34:17to make the world
34:18exactly the way
34:19they want it.
34:25So what happened
34:26to Dave?
34:27Is he still in prison?
34:31No.
34:33And when did
34:34he get paroled?
34:38He didn't.
34:41I'm not going
34:42to go into details
34:44if it's okay,
34:45just out of respect.
34:47I'm just never,
34:48never going to forget
34:49that phone call.
34:54There was one
34:55tiny silver lining,
34:57craziest that is to say.
34:59Dave's family
34:59didn't think so,
35:00but I know Dave
35:01would have.
35:03It's something called
35:04the doctrine
35:05of abatement.
35:07Look,
35:07if you're convicted
35:08at trial,
35:08even for murder,
35:09and you die
35:10in prison
35:10before all your
35:11appeals are exhausted,
35:12your conviction
35:13is automatically
35:13set aside
35:14and your indictment
35:16is dismissed
35:16like it never even
35:17happened.
35:19When he died,
35:21because he died,
35:22as far as law
35:23and the world
35:24were concerned,
35:26Dave was an innocent
35:27man.
35:34finally no line
35:35at the vending
35:35machines.
35:35I'm going to get
35:36a soda.
35:37You want one?
35:57No, no, no, no.
35:58They must have, Mom, okay?
35:59They wouldn't just say
35:59this is the person
36:00calling, okay?
36:01They said this is
36:02ACI calling,
36:03and we're sorry to...
36:04Okay, but that doesn't
36:04make any sense, Mom, okay?
36:05So are they gonna
36:06call us back?
36:07He wouldn't do that
36:08to himself.
36:08He wouldn't do it to me.
36:09He would never do that.
36:11I'm going to call them,
36:11and I'm going to find out
36:12who called us, okay?
36:13Wherever the guards, right?
36:14Where are they supposed
36:14to be watching?
36:15Where are they?
36:18It's terrible.
36:18It's a terrible thing.
36:20It's hard to even think
36:21about the kind of
36:23desperation behind
36:23a choice like Dad.
36:26Makes you think
36:27about all your own
36:28choices in life, right?
36:30All the things
36:30you've done
36:31or haven't done.
36:37Hey.
36:38Hey.
36:39Hey, hey.
36:40Hey, you know
36:41the Navy Seals
36:41use this thing
36:42to help them calm down?
36:44They're just crazy, right?
36:45These elite warriors,
36:46they train,
36:47they practice,
36:47and still,
36:48they panic.
36:49Even Navy Seals
36:49have to make themselves
36:50remember to breathe.
36:52In for four,
36:54hold for four,
36:55out for four,
36:56hold for four.
36:57It's called
36:58box breathing.
36:59Box has four sides.
37:00You just focus
37:00on the numbers
37:01and the sides,
37:02and that's it.
37:03Four by four.
37:03Do it with me.
37:04Come on.
37:05Let's build a box
37:05together right now.
37:11One, two, three, four,
37:17one, two, three, four,
37:20one, two, three, four,
37:21one, two, three, four,
37:23one, two, three, four,
37:27one, two, three, four,
37:32is not anything去endi.
37:33What the fuck did you say
37:33to my brother?
37:35Excuse me?
37:36Show up out of nowhere,
37:37get in his mind,
37:38say who the fuck knows what
37:39until suddenly he thinks
37:40he has no way out of...
37:41Oh, okay.
37:42My God.
37:45Can I just...
37:47I was so sorry
37:48when I heard what happened.
37:50Why were you even there,
37:51hmm?
37:52You didn't exist for Shane
37:53at school and I know that. He never mentioned you once. To be fair, seeing that the counselor
37:57is not always going to be something the student talks about at home, right? You're telling me he
38:03fucking came to see you? HIPAA requirements say I can't tell you anything. I'm sorry.
38:10But whether he did or didn't, with the student body of 600 kids being generally aware of all
38:16of them and their various struggles, yeah. That was my job. Why'd you go to the prison?
38:27To offer my support. No, I want to know what kind of apocalyptic
38:30shit you said to him. Besides that fucking Oliver St. Leger sees you for therapy, which is,
38:35I just don't really know how to wrap my mind around that actually. So he told you that,
38:37but he didn't tell you what else we talked about? Okay, he's figuring things out. He's taking
38:40fucking classes and then here you are and a month later he kills himself.
38:46And you think talking to me had something to do with that? I do. And I think I have a
38:52lot
38:52of questions that I'm going to ask to whoever's responsible for you having a license to talk
38:56to anybody, okay? So just know that's what's going to be happening. Well then maybe also ask them if
39:01they think someone without a baseline of mental instability and a history of emotional detachment
39:05of the home can be goaded into suicide by one casual conversation with a sympathetic relative stranger.
39:14Oh, this is such an awful thing. Look, I understand needing to explain it away somehow,
39:22but when an already mentally vulnerable person is put into such a challenging environment
39:28at an age where they're still struggling with coping skills and with the idea that
39:32the future even exists. Not to mention a support system at home that just isn't up to the task
39:38in a real-
39:41Oh, Jesus. Fuck!
39:48So, as soon as court opens tomorrow, I'm going to file a temporary ex parte order of protection against you.
39:55And just to make it final-
40:11I'm going to file a temporary ex parte order of protection against you.
40:11Did Mom go to sleep?
40:14She went to her room. Sure, she's not sleeping. Nobody sleeps in this house.
40:18Obviously.
40:29Okay. Talk show. Old movie. Infomercial.
40:32Where do you think Shane is now?
40:37Shit. I'm going to need a drink or ten for that conversation.
40:41Megan, I don't want to talk about heaven or whatever, okay?
40:45Because you don't think he's-
40:46If there is a place he is, I hope that everything makes sense to him.
40:51That he doesn't hurt anymore, okay?
40:55Me too.
40:57Also, I wish it was a place like that for Mom to go.
41:03Yeah, I mean, Mom's still alive, but I get what you're saying.
41:09I saw him that night.
41:13What does that mean?
41:16Mom and Dad went to Holy Spirit Purse Bingo, and he was supposed to come home after practice and make
41:22dinner.
41:23But he didn't.
41:25So I made it.
41:28I saw him get dropped off by a car that I saw.
41:36Whose car it was.
41:40Okay, well, did Shane know this?
41:43Yes.
41:44When?
41:46Right when he came inside.
41:47Okay, what did he say?
41:49He said he was home the whole time.
41:50And he never asked you to say anything later to anybody, ever?
41:56He thought he would.
41:59He was waiting, but he never did.
42:05Why didn't he want me to?
42:09You know what, maybe he was afraid.
42:13Yeah, of you bringing Oliver into it, of Oliver's family.
42:18Of what they might do to us, to you.
42:20I mean, who knows?
42:23With people who can be what they are.
42:27You feel guilty for not saying.
42:32Don't.
42:34Okay?
42:36It wouldn't have made any difference.
42:38It still would have all happened the exact same way, and you couldn't have stopped it.
42:42So please, please, don't let it derail your life.
42:49Okay?
43:21Miss Martin?
43:23One of them.
43:26Which one are you?
43:29Shilah.
43:30Is your mom Christy?
43:31Is she here too?
43:32She's not here at the moment.
43:34Now, you live here with her.
43:36Rub it in, why don't you?
43:39So, uh, you're Shane's sister.
43:41Hey, can I ask a question?
43:43Yes, we are here to ask people questions about a guy named Oliver St. Ledger.
43:48Specifically about the possible revenge killing of a guy named Oliver St. Ledger.
43:53We spoke to Annette Sparling.
43:54She gave us your address.
43:55Does your sister live here too?
43:58Megan or Ciara Wise?
44:00Which one do you call her?
44:04Look, I don't know where Megan lives.
44:06Okay?
44:08I don't even know where she is.
44:11Or if she's ever coming back.
44:36I've just been sitting here watching you breathe.
44:41Megan?
44:43I don't know where Megan is.
44:43You're Megan?
44:45Megan?
44:46You're Shane's sister?
44:48Yeah.
44:56Megan?
44:57The day that Paul Sparling died.
45:00I saw you.
45:04And I knew that you were lying.
45:08But I was no one compared to you and your family.
45:15and there was nothing that I could do and it just kept spinning out of control my whole life
45:24even so many years later spinning out of control and I wanted to hurt you
45:33I really really wanted to hurt you
45:38and so I made a plan
45:43but then I started to know you and I saw how lonely you were
45:52that I didn't need to do anything to ruin your life because you were doing that on your own
46:02I really wanted to tell you the truth
46:06I had so many opportunities to tell you the truth and I didn't
46:18I'm sorry
