00:02Anything they start off fighting about, he can bring it back to that.
00:05I mean, this time, it's about how my mom never puts gas in the car and he always has to
00:08do
00:08it when he's already late.
00:10Now, and somehow he brings it back to all my school, and he wants me to apply to all
00:13these private out-of-state D1 colleges for lacrosse, and it makes him look like the bad
00:16guy because he can't afford any of it.
00:18Shane, I mean your dad is the Kevin Garnett of talking shit about Bridgefields, you know,
00:23and also there's such thing as lacrosse scholarships.
00:26The Ivy's don't have athletic scholarships, and nowhere else is going to be a four-ride.
00:29Whatever.
00:30I mean, talking about why all these schools are no-go also pisses them off.
00:33You're so lucky.
00:34Yeah, I know.
00:35You think so.
00:36I'm not even talking about being able to afford Stanford.
00:38Being able to afford to buy Stanford and rename it after yourself.
00:42St. Ledger University.
00:43Hey, shut up.
00:44Shut up, dude, please.
00:45I'm talking about not having to listen to your parents screaming at each other every five
00:49minutes over something you can't change and either can make.
00:52Well, I mean, to want to argue about shit, you kind of got to care about it.
00:56No, it's not that difficult.
00:57Well, I mean, any time mine won't stop caring so much, that would be great.
01:01But they won't, because they can't live unless they're up my ass.
01:03My sister can't either.
01:04I mean, Shiloh moved to fucking Pawtucket.
01:06She's still trying to be my boss.
01:07All right.
01:09What I would give to you for one day.
01:12Just one.
01:12Just to try it.
01:13Just to see.
01:13Not even for the money.
01:14Just for the, like, silence.
01:22I think I might have told Paul we would be here.
01:25Whatever.
01:25He's not a bad guy if you give him a chance.
01:27No, you say that every single time.
01:29Right?
01:29He's just insecure.
01:30I promise, if you hang in there, eventually he stops being such a dick.
01:34Prove it.
01:35What does that even mean?
01:36What's up, fuckheads?
01:40You gonna be okay?
01:41What's up?
01:42What's up?
01:42There's a fucking man here.
01:44You're kidding.
01:44From Bridgefield?
01:45Yeah, that's right, shithead.
01:46Wow.
01:47I know Coach said you need to do more cardio, but damn.
01:53You guys are so into this place.
01:55I think it was cool for, like, you know, five minutes in middle school.
01:59Jesus.
02:00And don't you literally have, like, a massive house with a fucking telepath?
02:05He doesn't have a path.
02:06Why would anybody want to hang out here instead of there?
02:09Your dad have, like, no peasant rule or something?
02:12No, because I'm a peasant, right?
02:13A scholarship peasant?
02:14Yeah, I've been in there.
02:15Has your dad even lived in that house before?
02:18Like, even when you were a baby?
02:20Because my dad says your dad hasn't been back to Narragansett since, like, the 90s.
02:24How would your dad even know that?
02:25Well, he's in global finance too, dude.
02:27People talk to each other.
02:29Network.
02:30Who cares?
02:31All this house is fucking freezing and none of the furniture is comfortable, okay?
02:34Yeah.
02:36What the?
02:37Are you fucking kidding me?
02:38There's mosquitoes now?
02:39Come on.
02:40Is your mom in town?
02:41Is that why we can't go to your house?
02:43What's your fucking deal, dude?
02:44Uh, it's buggy and clammy here and it doesn't not smell like pee.
02:48You have a house too, dipshit?
02:49Yeah.
02:49Well, they're selling it.
02:52Because the whole divorce is my dad punishing my mom for getting mad at him for cheating.
02:58So...
02:59That's hard.
03:01I'm really sorry.
03:04Thanks.
03:07How is your mom doing?
03:09Shittily.
03:09Why?
03:10Just sucks, that's all.
03:13Makes total sense why she'd be having a tough time with everything.
03:16Yeah.
03:17Makes total sense your mom would be running her mouth again about someone she barely fucking knows.
03:22Fuck you, she knows it.
03:23Yeah, from sidelines and sport banquets, but not really.
03:26What are you even talking about?
03:27You just seem like you know something, Shane, so you tell me.
03:29Your mom's the one saying shit she heard from somebody or heard it from somebody like it's fucking real.
03:33She saw it in the paper.
03:34Who reads the local news?
03:35No one.
03:37When MPD arrests someone, it's always in the local police blotter.
03:39I'm not saying it should be, but...
03:41She didn't think she was gonna need a basket, and then she had too many things in her hands, so
03:44she was gonna go get one.
03:46I mean, she didn't even leave the fucking store, and now everybody thinks she's a fucking thief.
03:56You know what?
03:56I'm sorry.
03:58Yeah, I'm sorry, too.
03:59Yeah.
04:00I'm sorry your mom's a bitch who won't shut the fuck up!
04:05Man, what your fucking problem?
04:07Fuck!
04:10Hey, guys!
04:11You fucking bitch!
04:12Guys!
04:13Fuck you!
04:14Ow!
04:15Ow!
04:16Fuck!
04:17Take a sec, take a sec.
04:17Fuck!
04:18Chill out.
04:19Get off!
04:22Who are you to wave your finger?
04:25You must have let out your head.
04:30I hold deep in muddy waters, you practically raised the land.
04:36Shut up!
04:39No!
04:40Rob the grave, just hold a cradle, and let the evidence down.
04:46Fuck!
04:47Fuck!
04:48Fuck!
04:49Fuck!
04:49Fuck!
04:49Fuck!
04:50Fuck!
04:50Fuck!
04:50The us app would be the fire for a thousand hundreds in Ord?
04:56You must have been...
04:58I am...
05:00You must have been...
05:02I...
05:03I am...
05:05You must have been...
05:07Let's go!
05:07Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
05:58If I say it's self-defense, if I just tell them that it's self-defense, it doesn't work like that.
06:02They're gonna, they're gonna say it's self-defense.
06:04But if we just, because it was you that did it, you weren't defending yourself.
06:12Look, we didn't go to the Narrows today after school, all right, and we didn't, we didn't
06:15know Paul was gonna be there.
06:16He didn't ask me to hang out after practice, and he wouldn't have asked you anything, because
06:20you're not even fucking friends.
06:23I had to go home and babysit my sister anyway.
06:26So you gave me a rod, and then you what?
06:31Say it.
06:32I, I went home, and I studied for chem until I got a headache, and then I, and then I
06:43went
06:43to bed.
06:52What about, what about your, um...
06:56Well, I, I wiped out during scoring drills, and someone must have stepped on me.
07:03I'm sorry.
07:06I'm sorry.
07:09I'm sorry.
07:10I know you were just trying to help me.
07:11This is a goodsever.
07:15You're probably dead.
07:18Thanks.
07:47What are you doing?
07:48I'm nothing.
07:53Where were you?
07:55Those are dirty.
07:57Yeah, whatever.
07:58Why are you wet?
07:59Took a shower.
08:00When?
08:01Just now.
08:02When I thought I heard something outside.
08:05What did you do to your face?
08:06Nothing.
08:07You look like you-
08:08No, I don't, Megan!
08:15I got fouled at practice, all right, and I came home and I took
08:18a shower and I'm back in here with you like I have been this whole time.
08:24Are you okay?
08:28Yeah, I'm fine.
08:31I'm hungry.
08:33You want to make stuff to us worse?
08:34No, no.
08:57Oh my gosh.
09:54Hey, Oliver. I don't have him, but I maybe might this weekend.
09:58It has to be now. I'm sorry. It's Ruth.
10:04What's the point? I hope you think so.
10:14Hello? Can anyone hear us?
10:17Gretchen and Kenji, if you're on, get off.
10:20So what's so cloak and dagger? I killed someone.
10:23What? Who?
10:31Paul. Paul Swirling.
10:35You're sure he's dead?
10:45Yeah. We were at the Narrows.
10:49Who was we?
10:53Me, Shane Martin, and Paul.
10:56Who else?
10:57It was just us.
10:59Okay. Stop talking. I need to think.
11:12Hold on. I'm Detective Sheehan.
11:15My lieutenant's just getting off the call, but we can start...
11:17This being recorded, Jerry?
11:19I'm out of custodial interrogation, so I want to make some notes, but first things first.
11:25Your lawyer here, Mr. Sykes, he filled me in a little bit on what happened, but obviously
11:29I want to hear from you. Can you tell me about it? Just start wherever you're comfortable.
11:34If I have any questions, I'll ask.
11:40Yeah, I was... I was home, and I had been studying all night because I had a midterm coming up,
11:48and I didn't really understand the material, but I forgot to eat.
11:54So after a little while, I got a headache, and I set an alarm for early so I can wake
12:02up
12:03and do some more in the morning. But then I woke up because someone was buzzing to be let in.
12:14And who was that?
12:18That was Shane. Shane Martin.
12:22Shane Martin, okay. And this was what time?
12:27This was around midnight.
12:31Last chance. No idea. You have no idea? No.
12:36You can't think of a single thing happening they might want to talk to you about.
12:39Said no. Right, and I don't buy it.
12:40That's why I keep asking, because I want to have some idea of what kind of buzzsaw we're about to
12:44walk into.
12:45You knock out some more street lights or steal some shit your buddies think it's nothing,
12:48but to regular people means real money. God, like you and your friends never gotten into anything stupid before.
12:53You know what? No one at your school ever got into an Ivy League college. Probably doesn't even know what
12:57one is.
12:57Probably doesn't even know what one is.
12:59So Shane's going to the Ivy League now? Wow. Really? Well, when were you guys going to tell me that?
13:04After we talked to the cops, I guess?
13:05Could you have a little faith in your son, please? Can we just...
13:08Because I have no faith in my son. He's a good kid. He's a good kid.
13:10So you're on with that whole narrative again that I have no faith in my son.
13:13He could have a better future.
13:16He could have a better future.
13:20Hey, great to see you.
13:24Fabulous.
13:31Stop, stop!
13:36Hey!
13:37Hey!
13:37Hey!
13:38Hey!
13:38What?
13:38Give me that shit!
13:40linear room
13:40Now, stop, man!
13:41Hold on a second!
13:42Stop.
13:42Come on!
13:44Stop it!
13:45Get out of here!
13:46Let's kill yourself.
13:47Knock, knock.
13:50Knock, knock, knock!
13:52Knock, knock!
14:02Oh
14:38You're kind of close there, Otis.
14:40Hey, Oliver, a little bit.
14:42Seven minutes, no morning announcements.
14:45If I had that car, I'd probably want to hang out in it all day, too, but you're about to
14:49get one demerit for being late and another for ignoring me to my face.
14:52Oh, my God, are you all right?
14:54Hey, Oliver, can you open the door?
14:56Where's my...
14:56Where's my...
14:57We can need to call 911.
14:58Please, please, please.
15:00Please, don't.
15:04I still think we should at least go to urgent care.
15:07I feel way better now.
15:09I really do.
15:10All right.
15:11Snow, an hour ago, you were passing out in your car.
15:18Uh, amoxicillin.
15:20Here.
15:21Take two.
15:22Or maybe four.
15:25Why do you just have these?
15:26Dog bite.
15:28You know the stop-and-shot parking lot?
15:30Yeah.
15:30Apparently, different tail waggings have different meanings.
15:33I thought a dog wagging its tail always means friendly.
15:35It does not.
15:38Yeah, I thought that, too.
15:40Yeah, well, now we both know better.
15:51Hey, what about your mom?
15:52What if we called her?
15:54No, I think it's, uh, I think it's 12 hours ahead there.
15:56Well, still wouldn't be past 11 p.m.
15:58I don't think that there's reception.
15:59There's gonna be a reception at a resort.
16:01Uh, she's off the coast.
16:02It's her friend's boat.
16:04Um, and the school knows.
16:06She told them.
16:06Um, I'm gonna have to mark you an excused absence.
16:09I'll say, I saw you and I sent you homesick.
16:11Look, that's not even a lie.
16:15And I'll leave you at the amoxicillin.
16:18Take a couple more tonight.
16:19Look, I know.
16:23You're not good friends with Shane and Paul.
16:26I know you're having a hard time right now.
16:29I wish you weren't having it alone.
16:31Go easy on yourself, okay?
16:34Understand that...
16:36something terrible has happened to you, too.
16:41Try to give yourself a little grace.
16:49Oh, wait, uh...
16:51Uh, please, wait.
16:56And you're what again?
16:58Uh, guidance counselor?
16:59School counselor.
17:01What kind of background is a school counselor supposed to have in this kind of thing?
17:04Well, I'm actually a licensed independent clinical social worker.
17:08But I'm working towards getting licensed in Rhode Island as a clinical mental health counselor.
17:14And what makes you think my son needs your help?
17:18I'm not saying it has to be me.
17:22But...
17:24From the amount of detail Oliver gave me about his present headspace and what led to it,
17:31he's going to need therapy from someone.
17:34And what amount of detail would that be exactly?
17:38Clinically.
17:40Enough?
17:43Enough for what?
17:45It's enough to know what really happened.
17:50Every time I think there's nothing left that can surprise me.
17:54I'll put you in touch with my personal accountant.
18:06Mom?
18:06Do you want tea?
18:16No.
18:24I understand.
18:26This may be weird at first.
18:31It's okay.
18:32You do this too.
18:33You know, you see people outside of school.
18:36My real life goal was always this.
18:40So, I'm your first patient?
18:43Yeah.
18:44Kind of hard.
18:48Don't you have to be able to come clean?
18:53Tell the truth, you know?
18:55Be honest?
18:58What are you saying?
18:59You haven't been honest with me?
19:01You didn't tell me the truth?
19:04Of course I have.
19:05Yes, I did.
19:08Okay then.
19:10It's gonna work.
19:12Hey, it's already working.
19:18Hey, it's gonna work.
20:07Hey, Shiloh, you want to meet us at the crib?
20:09No, I can't.
20:09Do a shooter for me.
20:15Hello?
20:16Hey, McGaggy.
20:17Hi, Shiloh.
20:19Hello?
20:20It's not Shane, Mom.
20:22Don't tie up the phone.
20:24She just talked to him yesterday, didn't she?
20:26They're not gonna let him call her again today.
20:28I doubt she knows what day it is.
20:31When are you coming home?
20:3320 minutes.
20:34I'm leaving work right now.
20:35Just do us all a favor and stay out of our way.
20:38Okay?
20:39Okay.
20:43You're packed.
20:45You travel Tuesday, right?
20:47Boy, orientation's probably gonna be pretty hectic.
20:52A lot of new people, new living situation.
21:00What?
21:01What are you thinking right now?
21:05That you were right.
21:07That I might not be ready right now to go to Stanford.
21:15That I can't.
21:19Have you talked about any of this with your dad?
21:25No.
21:31Well, you need to, Ollie.
21:35Call him.
21:37And tell him.
21:40I can't.
21:43You want me to do it?
21:46Please.
21:47Yes.
21:48Okay.
21:52Oliver St. Ledger.
21:53He dropped my brother off at our house in his car.
21:56Are you aware Mr. St. Ledger says he did not see your brother after school until Shane came to his
22:00house after midnight?
22:02Yes, I am, but it's not true.
22:04What the hell are you doing?
22:05Are you playing at trial or something?
22:08Is it supposed to be funny?
22:10No.
22:10Because it isn't.
22:12I know.
22:13I did see him.
22:15Shane didn't come right home after practice.
22:17He didn't come home until later.
22:19And when he did, I saw him.
22:22I saw him getting out of Oliver's car.
22:24I can't believe you're doing this right now.
22:25I cannot believe you can't see how wrong it is for you to do this right now.
22:30It's not like that.
22:31It's really true.
22:32It's never like that.
22:33Right?
22:34Like when your teacher kicked you.
22:37Like when the woman in the stop and shop tried to kidnap you.
22:39It's never about you wanting attention.
22:40It's always true.
22:42The jury is deciding right now, Megan.
22:45Remember?
22:47They're all sitting in a room talking about whether they're going to send your brother
22:51to prison for life.
22:56Now, I'm sorry that we are all so terrified of that, that we can't put our attention on
23:00you.
23:01I'm sorry that this is the worst fucking thing that's ever happened in the world and you
23:04still have to make it about you.
23:17The people of the state of Rhode Island versus Shane Martin.
23:21Verdict, count one, voluntary manslaughter.
23:25We, the jury, find the defendant guilty.
23:42Six minutes, eleven seconds, actually.
23:47Pretty good for my age, huh?
23:49Anybody's age.
23:51What were you last time you were in the pool?
23:553.17.
23:56What the fuck?
23:58You're going backwards now.
24:00Are you even practicing?
24:03I'm not really sleeping lately.
24:11Since the verdict.
24:14I get it.
24:16All the more reason to stay disciplined.
24:18Here's the thing.
24:19Practice.
24:20You have to do it every day.
24:22You're staying on it, right?
24:24Rule your capacity.
24:25Say, your number broke.
24:27That's like anything.
24:28Just keep at it.
24:30Let me know.
24:39Sometimes I just feel like I have to call Shane.
24:42But that's stupid because you can't call.
24:44No, you can't call.
24:47I tried to go see him to be put on his visitor's list or whatever.
24:55When, um, when did you do this?
24:59I don't know.
25:00A month ago.
25:03They said he said no.
25:05Oh, wow.
25:06Well, that's understandable, too, though, right?
25:13If he said yes, would, uh...
25:15So I tried to write it in a, in a letter.
25:21I am disappointed.
25:23He didn't feel like this was something you could talk over with me first.
25:27It felt like I could, I could start with, with this.
25:34Uh, but then, but then I felt like if I send it, is he even gonna open it?
25:43And if he doesn't open it, then maybe sending it at all is still the point.
25:49I don't, I don't know.
25:52Okay.
25:53Okay, what about this?
25:55Shane knows me from school.
25:58What if I has to be put on his visitor's list?
26:02I don't say why, but I take that with me.
26:07And I read it.
26:10Out loud.
26:11And whatever happens next, it's up to him.
26:22I'm just sorry I couldn't make myself do it before.
26:27And I know it won't make me a good person to do the right thing now, but still.
26:32I'm gonna fix everything.
26:36I promise.
26:44You look a little...
26:45Yeah, the food's pretty bad here.
26:47They save it at weird times, whatever.
26:51I don't know why I didn't think you'd actually come.
26:53I don't know why it took me so long to ask.
26:55Well, I mean, we didn't ever talk all that much in school, so...
26:58Oof.
26:59I'm not saying that for, like, blame.
27:01No, I know you're not.
27:02It just doesn't reflect very well on me, though.
27:07So, can I ask how you are?
27:13I'm so sorry about all of this.
27:15It's just...
27:16It's really terrible.
27:18Yeah.
27:19It's pretty terrible.
27:21Yeah.
27:24In full disclosure, and I know I should have said this up front when I first asked to come see
27:28you...
27:29Are you gonna try and write a book or something?
27:31Oh.
27:32Uh.
27:33No.
27:36I'm working with Oliver.
27:41Working with him how?
27:42Just counseling him.
27:45As his therapist.
27:48So you're with him, then?
27:49Yeah, I wouldn't let him in, so he sent you.
27:52No.
27:54Although, obviously, that's a very logical first question to ask.
27:58What does he need therapy for?
27:59Huh?
28:00Does he feel bad for what he did?
28:02Actually, yeah, he does.
28:03Which part?
28:05Killing Paul?
28:06Killing me.
28:09I understand.
28:10It must feel...
28:12Unbelievable.
28:13What must?
28:14I don't know.
28:16How the world...
28:18Just...
28:18Still turning.
28:20Like you were never even in it.
28:24Like all I am...
28:26Is this thing I didn't do, you mean?
28:29All because I was stupid and tried to help my friend.
28:33Do you guys talk about that?
28:35In your little fucking therapy sessions?
28:37What he did to me for trying to help him?
28:40Because if anything else, you're just another person getting paid to listen to him lie.
28:45Shane...
28:47It doesn't matter what Oliver's told me.
28:49My job isn't to judge what the truth is.
28:53And I wouldn't be in charge of anything, even if it was.
28:57It's more that his pain has made me think about yours.
29:01And how...
29:02I just...
29:03I can't imagine what you're going through.
29:05Or the strength I know you'll need to find.
29:08For what?
29:10I have strength.
29:11I know you do.
29:12See, I remember that about you.
29:13Like you said, we didn't talk much, but still I could tell.
29:16You had character.
29:18Integrity.
29:19Those things matter to you.
29:26Just...
29:29Before I came to Bridgefield, I was a social worker.
29:32This was in Connecticut.
29:33And a lot of my clients were in your situation.
29:37With public defenders who were no match for white shoes.
29:40Yeah?
29:40One of my clients.
29:43Dawn.
29:45Her husband was doing 15 to life in McDougal.
29:49Dave had a carpet laying business with his cousin.
29:51And the cousin had a shady side thing where a guy ended up getting killed over money.
29:55And the cousin took a plea saying it was all Dave.
30:01And Dave just thought, if he didn't do it, that would prevail.
30:08He did not have stopped his frustration and rage from getting him into situations that just added more years to
30:14his sentence.
30:15Or how to live.
30:17Knowing he was only in prison in the first place off a lie from someone he trusted.
30:23And compared to you.
