01:29I'm Marawat Anissia Achala.
01:31You can call me Arnie.
01:38I'm a senior at Liberty High School.
01:40You were lying to me the whole time.
01:45God damn it, Arnie, I need you.
01:47I need you so fucking bad.
01:56I'm Marawat.
02:09My mom's a home healthcare worker.
02:11We just got to Evergreen last spring, April.
02:14Right, I'm off then.
02:16Wait.
02:19This is fashion?
02:19It is quite stylish, yes, thank you.
02:23The things that school allows.
02:25Don't even know.
02:26I didn't see you all weekend.
02:29Had both days off.
02:30I had projects.
02:33Next Sunday, I'll go to church with you, yes?
02:37At the very least.
03:04I just started at Liberty in April, about eight months ago.
03:09Yeah, I'm the new girl.
03:14Do I like Liberty?
03:17Sure.
03:18It's an interesting place.
03:23Stuff happens at Liberty High School, you know?
03:36I'm guessing that's why I'm here.
03:43You think I know something about what happened?
03:50Well, I do.
03:59I'm sure you got pieces from other people.
04:08I can help you put them together.
04:09I'm sure you're going to apologize about the homecoming game.
04:15The police took Clay.
04:17What?
04:18Just now, I saw them out front.
04:20Shit, why now?
04:22It's November, spring spring was last April.
04:25And why Clay?
04:28All units in the vicinity of mission at 12, assault in progress.
04:32One seven oh five mission.
04:34Please respond.
04:35Want to get that?
04:36Take them back to the station?
04:38Dispatch unit 12 is responding unit for returning to the station.
04:42I-C-3-S-1-7-8-1.
05:01There are things I'm sure no one has told you.
05:04Secrets that have been well kept.
05:11And yes, the keeper of those secrets is often Clay Jensen.
05:28Do you mind?
05:33One secret goes back to last spring.
05:39What the hell do you want, Jess?
05:40The cops took Clay.
05:41They perp walked him out of school.
05:43Ani saw just now.
05:45Shit.
05:47Do you think they know?
05:50About...
05:51Tyler?
05:52Do you think so?
05:53Did you tell them?
05:54Are you fucking serious?
05:55No, of course I didn't tell them.
05:56Really?
05:57Because you've been pretty hostile to everyone lately.
06:00No, I've been pretty hostile to you lately.
06:02Plus this whole Tyler thing happened seven months ago.
06:05Why would I say anything now?
06:06Why else would they want Clay?
06:08How would I know?
06:09Did something happen this weekend?
06:11What did you do after the homecoming game?
06:14Not very damn much.
06:19Zach.
06:21I have to go to history.
06:24These kids were connected by their secrets.
06:29Connected and forever changed.
06:32You know, I'll help you with that in terms of ironic things happening.
06:36Not my first time on Curtis, Alex.
06:38Come on, Zach.
06:39Give me a win.
06:40Alex.
06:42The cops were just here.
06:43They took Clay in.
06:45Okay.
06:46Okay?
06:47Yeah, I mean, Clay's not gonna say anything about anybody.
06:49Jess, come on.
06:50I have to go.
06:53What's up with her?
06:55Hasn't it been a few months since you guys...
06:56Yeah.
06:57I guess it's a quick slide from, uh, we can be friends to don't fucking touch me.
07:03Your knee seems worse today.
07:05Friday night you could put some weight on it, right?
07:07Without the crutches?
07:09Yeah.
07:09I mean, that's how these things go.
07:13It swells up.
07:16Your eye's looking worse.
07:18Yep, that's the problem with fighting football players.
07:21It's like they...
07:22They have helmets.
07:25Even the ones that don't like each other that much.
07:28There's a bond.
07:30They show up for each other.
07:33Good morning.
07:34The cops took Clay, uh, this morning right out of school.
07:37The sheriffs?
07:39Javi, I gotta take care of something for an hour or two.
07:42You can't go down there.
07:43You got a better idea?
07:44You can't go down there.
07:45It's not a good idea for you.
07:47I'll go.
07:47No, you go down there.
07:48That's better.
07:49Hey, well, what about the guns?
07:50That's dealt with.
07:51You know that.
07:52No, all I know is you and Clay said you took care of it.
07:54It's best that's all you know.
08:01So, yeah, the story begins back in April.
08:04I mean, if we're going to understand how we got here.
08:10I'll be there in two minutes.
08:12I'm free and clear.
08:13I don't even think they looked as I drove by.
08:15Uh, yeah, yeah.
08:16Justin and those guys are going to talk to the police.
08:17Like, we got a story.
08:19We didn't take it as real.
08:21It's just him, you know?
08:22I heard him talking about it and I jumped to conclusions.
08:25It was a total joke, right?
08:27Yeah?
08:27It was fucking stupid, but it was a total joke.
08:29You made a joke.
08:30I did.
08:36Tyler?
08:37How you doing?
08:39Just breathe, man.
08:41Everything's going to be okay.
08:44But they're...
08:45They're not coming here.
08:47They're going to the school.
08:49But we need you to get out of the backpack and the belt.
08:54I need you to be here with me.
09:00No!
09:00Don't touch me!
09:01Don't fucking touch me!
09:03Okay?
09:04I'm not.
09:05I'm over here.
09:06You're good, but I'm going to need you to take off the backpack and take off the belt
09:11and walk away from them.
09:27Now walk towards me.
09:31It's just Clay.
09:32It's...
09:33It's just Clay, see?
09:35I told you we were going to meet up with him in the car.
09:38Right.
09:39Okay.
09:47Hey, Tyler.
09:49How you doing?
09:51Should we get you home?
09:56Oh, my God.
09:57My parents.
10:00Tyler.
10:02What did you do?
10:04I don't know everything that's happened since that night.
10:08But I know it was Bryce Walker's last night at Liberty.
10:13And I'm the new kid, right?
10:15I watch.
10:17I listen.
10:19I know quite a bit.
10:23And I'll tell you everything.
10:28Do I need a lawyer?
10:32No.
10:32Oh.
10:34No, this isn't any kind of criminal investigation.
10:37You're over 18 now, right?
10:41As of last month.
10:42Yeah.
10:43Yeah, see, you don't even need a parent here.
10:45I mean, feel free to call your mom if you want.
10:47No.
10:49So how are things at Liberty lately?
10:52Fine, I guess.
10:53Pretty stressful, though, I imagine, with everything that's going on.
10:57Hannah's trial, then Bryce, then the false alarm with the dance last spring, and now all this stuff with homecoming.
11:04More than anyone high school deserves.
11:06I think a lot of high schools go through a lot worse.
11:09You're right.
11:10But this thing with homecoming.
11:12Were you there?
11:14At the game?
11:15Friday night?
11:16I was.
11:17Did you get caught up in it?
11:19Not so much.
11:20A little.
11:21Did you run into Bryce Walker?
11:23We said hello.
11:25Okay.
11:25Was this before the game or after?
11:27Before.
11:30Why?
11:33Well...
11:35See, the thing is, Clay, Bryce was playing for Hillcrest on Friday night.
11:42And he walked off the field and hasn't been seen since.
11:47Do you have any idea where he could be or who he could be with?
11:56I-I don't.
11:59Hmm.
12:05Except for...
12:06Who found this?
12:09Inside Bryce's room.
12:11You recognize that?
12:15It used to be mine.
12:17Do you have any idea how Bryce could come to have it or why it would be in his room?
12:21I don't know.
12:22When's the last time you saw it or had it in your possession?
12:26I-I don't remember.
12:28I-I don't ride a bike anymore.
12:30Okay.
12:33Um...
12:34Clay, you were seen outside of Bryce's house a few days before the homecoming game?
12:40You...
12:41Apparently threatened him.
12:47Specifically, you said,
12:49I'll fucking kill you.
12:51Can you explain that?
12:55Who-who told you that?
12:56It's not important. Do you remember saying that?
12:59I...
13:01I was checking on a friend.
13:03Their safety. I...
13:05Bryce has a history.
13:10A triangle.
13:12A triangle.
13:12By repeatedly removing the middle triangle from each of the prior generations,
13:18the number of colored triangles increases by a factor of...
13:23Tri-angle.
13:24Recursion by a factor of...
13:26Three.
13:27Mr. Wood?
13:28Yes.
13:29Um, would it be possible for me to run to the robotics room for a few?
13:32I-I've just realized I've-I've left a battery overcharging and it's gonna fry the motherboard.
13:37Not a problem. I doubt you need this review in the first place.
13:40Well, I wasn't gonna say anything, but thank you.
13:46Uh, is there anything else you think I should know?
13:51No.
13:58Alright, I gotta go check on a few things.
14:01Be back in a couple of minutes.
14:02Feel free to use your cell phone.
14:03I'm...
14:37Clay, my name is Nora Walker.
14:40Yes, I know.
14:42I know who you are.
14:52Clay, I know Bryce hurt you.
14:54And friends of yours.
14:57He's done some monstrous things.
15:01But he's my son.
15:04I don't excuse anything that he's done.
15:08But he's my child.
15:11And he might be lost.
15:14He might be hurt.
15:17Do you know anything that might help us find him?
15:24I don't, Mrs. Walker.
15:28I'm sorry.
15:34Let's tell the truth.
15:35I don't really know Clay Jensen all that well.
15:38He was a classmate.
15:40Why am I not surprised you're here?
15:41Was it about Tyler?
15:43Not here.
15:45Do I think he's capable of being violent?
15:47I don't know.
15:48Do any of us really know what we're capable of?
15:50I have to tell the group text it wasn't about Tyler.
15:52Well, as I'm not on that group,
15:53are you gonna send me a separate text as to what it was actually about?
15:56Or should I ask Justin or someone?
15:59You're telling me you don't know.
16:01Bryce is missing.
16:03He hasn't been seen since homecoming Friday night.
16:05It didn't come up at home.
16:06Well, my mom had the weekend off and I made myself scarce,
16:09as you might expect.
16:11They think something happened to him.
16:13That someone did something to him.
16:14And they think the someone is me.
16:16Sweet Jesus.
16:18Yeah.
16:19Piers welcome.
16:20Does Clay have influence over his peers?
16:24I don't know.
16:26I mean, he's not like...
16:29the captain of the football team.
16:31Fog, Charlie, hustle!
16:32You got beat on Friday.
16:33Nah, you got beat on Friday.
16:35I just sucked.
16:39You're late.
16:40With the DBs, other end zone.
16:42Okay.
16:42Where were you?
16:44Were you with Clay?
16:46I went to tell Tony.
16:48Lani went to the station.
16:49She thought it'd be best if we just stay away.
16:52We're fucked, right?
16:54We're fucked.
16:56We're not fucked if you didn't say anything.
17:07Jesus.
17:09What?
17:11Foley, what the fuck?
17:13Let's go.
17:13Hey, just...
17:14Just hold on, okay?
17:16What's up with you two?
17:17Did your sex tape get leaked?
17:18Dude, Bryce...
17:21He's missing.
17:22So?
17:24So?
17:25Well, he'll be back.
17:26His mom pays, like, zero attention.
17:28I'm sure he just got drunk after homecoming
17:29and stayed drunk somewhere.
17:32Yeah.
17:33Could be.
17:34Now let's go, Foley.
17:35We're putting in a nickel package
17:36to get into East County.
17:37All right.
17:41And have you talked to Jessica?
17:43I mean, there's a whole story there.
17:45All right, look.
17:46Given how destructive in public the events
17:49at the homecoming game were,
17:51we're looking at a multiple-day suspension.
17:54Okay.
17:54And I understand that there are some very strong feelings here
17:58and that you and your group have an important voice
18:00that needs to be heard,
18:01and I want to be sensitive to that.
18:02But I also want to find a solution that is positive,
18:05even progressive as well as remedial.
18:10Oh, shit.
18:11What?
18:12I'm sorry?
18:13I mean...
18:15Um...
18:16Yeah.
18:17Yeah, yeah, whatever.
18:18If I suspend, you have to suspend everybody in your group.
18:20Not to mention Clay Jensen and Tyler Downe,
18:23as well as the majority of the football team.
18:25Zach Dempsey, Justin Foley, Charlie St. George,
18:29Montgomery Dela Cruz.
18:30Oh, wouldn't that be a shame if Monty got suspended?
18:33We have damage to our stadium and to our field.
18:36We had to cancel the homecoming dance.
18:38I have football players walking around with black eyes
18:40and bloody faces like they've been through the wars.
18:42Isn't that what football is all about?
18:44I have the Dean of Students of Hillcrest calling,
18:46threatening personal injury lawsuits.
18:48Well, they started it.
18:49Our students threw all the first punches.
18:51Yeah, but Hillcrest started it.
18:54You get that, right?
18:56This was about Bryce Walker, was it not?
18:59The fact that he was on the field?
19:01Bryce Walker had nothing to do with it.
19:03Yeah, well, you and I both know that that's not true.
19:05Now, you listen to me, Jessica.
19:06You incited a riot and there were consequences.
19:09You're the student body president, for Christ's sake.
19:11You're supposed to be a role model.
19:14That's what I was being.
19:19Uh, we're going to Monet's to talk about Bryce.
19:25And?
19:27And...
19:28We need you.
19:30Why?
19:31Well, we always need you.
19:34Are you worried about it?
19:36Why would I be?
19:38Tyler, that's the thing I gotta worry about.
19:40Bryce means nothing to me.
19:45Can you give us a ride to Monet's?
19:51Tony Padilla, also a secret keeper.
19:55I don't care about Bryce.
19:57I hope he stays gone.
19:58I don't think it's good for either of us if he does.
20:02Any of us.
20:05What makes you say that?
20:07I mean, if they start digging.
20:10Spring flame and everything.
20:14Bryce Walker has been no part of my life for a long time.
20:17And my life has been better for it.
20:19I'm at peace.
20:21Especially for Clay.
20:25Okay, Tyler.
20:26We're gonna drive you home.
20:27We're gonna go inside with you.
20:30Whatever happens, it's gonna...
20:33It's gonna be okay.
20:38I don't have my keys.
20:41All right.
20:42All right.
21:00Tyler.
21:02Oh, Tyler.
21:03You're okay.
21:05Oh, we were so worried.
21:10What happened to your head?
21:12Uh, he, uh, he fell earlier.
21:15Oh.
21:16We got the text and then you weren't in your room.
21:20We didn't even know that you'd gone to the dance.
21:22Sorry, sorry, Mrs. Dunn.
21:23There was a, there was a text.
21:24About the shooter.
21:26We got the text that the dance was being evacuated.
21:29We couldn't find you.
21:30Your father is down there now.
21:33Um, did your parents know that you're okay?
21:38Yes.
21:39I should check in.
21:41Okay, well, they must want you home, but you're welcome to spend the night.
21:45What?
22:02I do not know what this means, though.
22:08Don't know what is going on, 나랑?
22:10I do not know what is going on.
22:14But you will be...
22:14I do not know what is going on.
22:14And, you'll be going on.
22:14When I found this, do we tear it up?
22:40I just, I never thought I'd see my mom again.
22:52But why tonight? He just got back. I heard he was better. Did something happen?
23:00Where did the bruises come from?
23:06We have to get him help. But if anyone finds out why...
23:11Then we're all fucked.
23:17So?
23:20So we'll figure it out. We saved him. He's our responsibility.
23:33Thanks for getting into this with me. You're a good friend.
23:43It's my blessing and my curse.
23:46I don't really know how far Clay would go to protect a friend.
23:51I went right up to that little punk kid, Cyrus. I was sure he was the one who called.
23:56And I grabbed him and I started going off and then Zach like ran up and was like, it was
24:03me.
24:04I called the cops. Tyler should go to jail.
24:07And so I told him if Tyler goes to jail now, so does Tony and so does Clay at least.
24:12And that stopped him?
24:13That's when the cops started coming through the front and they shut the music down and started getting everyone on
24:18the ground.
24:18Me and Jess were right by Zach, so I was like, you get to decide now.
24:23If you take down Clay and Tony and probably me and Jess with Tyler and fuck up the school even
24:29more.
24:30Or if we get out of this.
24:32Well, everyone's coming.
24:35Hey, I'm buying.
24:43It's really good to see you today.
24:44Oh no. No.
24:46What happened last night was a one-time thing and it's never happening again. Understand?
24:52Yeah, shit. I'm... I'm sorry.
24:55I don't need your apology.
24:57And stop giving me that fucking puppy dog eye look. It does not work on me and it never actually
25:01did.
25:02I'm sorry.
25:02If you apologize again, I will cut you.
25:05Why are you cutting him?
25:07Um...
25:07Because he's evil.
25:09Oh.
25:10Good morning.
25:11Hey.
25:12You look really cute.
25:15We went over to roll his car into a parking place.
25:19We figured we could hide it with other cars.
25:23But the keys were still in it.
25:25Tyler didn't plan on coming back to it.
25:28So I drove it away.
25:29Jesus.
25:31That's balls.
25:32He was fucking stupid.
25:33Going out there, stepping in front of a gun like that.
25:36Acting like a fucking hero or something.
25:38You called the cops.
25:39I passed the cops on my way out.
25:42Think about that timing.
25:43If I hadn't done something, kids would be dead.
25:46We don't know that.
25:47All you did was give Tyler another chance.
25:49Exactly.
25:49Another chance to do it again.
25:52What if no one stops him next time?
25:54We make sure there isn't a next day.
25:56That's insane.
25:57Clay, he needs serious help.
26:00We can get him help.
26:01But if we tell anyone what he did, then he's expelled at least.
26:05And probably in jail.
26:06And probably tried as an adult.
26:08So he's in juvie until he's 21.
26:10And then they send him to prison.
26:11And then what happens to him?
26:14This is bullshit.
26:17I'm out.
26:18Zach.
26:18I won't tell.
26:19I won't say anything.
26:20But it's just not my job to take care of that psychopath.
26:25Clay and his friends, they kept it close.
26:29I wasn't really part of the group.
26:43Dude.
26:45What the actual fuck?
26:46Did they really think something happened to Bryce?
26:49I don't think they know.
26:51I mean, it's possible he's just at some hotel in Vegas, right?
26:56Look, I just, I...
26:58If they start looking into shit,
27:00and between me and Bryce,
27:01between you, me, and Bryce,
27:03like at night at his house last spring.
27:06Justin.
27:07I wanna maybe bust a few tables while you're out there.
27:10Like, at least pretend you actually work here.
27:12Yeah, sorry.
27:16Okay, I gotta, I gotta start my shift.
27:22What, what night at his house last spring?
27:25Does Justin seem freaked out?
27:31Aren't you?
27:35You don't have to worry about me.
27:37Okay?
27:38I can take care of myself.
27:54Uh...
27:56Hey, Alex.
27:57Hey, did anyone text you?
27:59No, why?
28:00Oh, shit.
28:01Sorry, I forgot you weren't on the chain.
28:03It wasn't about you.
28:05Um, what was it about then?
28:08I guess Bryce Walker is missing.
28:12What does that mean?
28:14That means no one's seen him since Friday night.
28:16But like, did they think something happened to him?
28:18I mean, who knows?
28:20Look, Justin has work and Clay is still downtown,
28:23so Cyrus said he'll give you a ride home.
28:24Oh, okay.
28:27Is that not okay?
28:28No, it's, it's great.
28:30I, I just, um...
28:33He's probably not happy about it.
28:35Right?
28:36Look, my mom's coming to get me later.
28:38Do you wanna wait with me?
28:40Would that be okay?
28:41Yeah.
28:43Yeah.
28:43Out front of five.
28:45Okay.
29:12When Bryce went missing, at first, we all figured he'd show up in time.
29:17We weren't really that worried about it.
29:20I've missed the carriage house.
29:22Justin and I prefer outhouse.
29:34Well, you two have done some more decorating.
29:39We have not.
29:40Well, that wasn't there before.
29:42Or that.
29:45It's not decorating.
29:46It's putting shit up.
29:48I apologize.
29:49I should have used a more manly verb.
29:51I'm just saying.
29:53You are good at so many things, but one of your greatest gifts is staying angry.
29:58I'm not angry with you.
30:00And self-awareness, not one of your gifts.
30:02I know myself just fine.
30:04I spend more time in my own head than anywhere else.
30:06Breaking news.
30:11He's just gonna turn up, right?
30:14Bryce.
30:15What if he doesn't?
30:16And what if they find out what happened at homecoming?
30:19So I lay low for a while.
30:20Clay, they arrested you.
30:22Not yet.
30:22They just questioned me.
30:23Because they think you did something.
30:25I didn't.
30:25Then shouldn't we find out who did?
30:27How'd Bryce get my bike lock?
30:39Day-old pastries.
30:41I gots the Monday mother load.
30:43Hey, Ani.
30:45I have lemon bars, pound cakes, scones.
30:48So dry they taste like you're eating a wall.
30:50Oh, I love those.
30:51Mm.
30:52I need some air.
30:54Okay.
30:58I'm not going to go.
31:11Fucking hate when you guys speak African.
31:14Uh, you are aware that Africa is an entire continent, yeah?
31:19Yeah, I'm aware.
31:21It is.
31:29Hey, buddy.
31:30Hey, Dad.
31:31Hey, you got a minute?
31:32I want to talk to you about some developments today.
31:35Yeah.
31:36So, Bryce Walker's missing.
31:39He hasn't been seen since after the homecoming game Friday night.
31:42Oh, wow.
31:44And Clay Jensen already told you?
31:46Yeah.
31:47All right.
31:48So, have you heard anything?
31:50You heard from Bryce?
31:52No.
31:52Yeah.
31:53I mean, I saw him real quick at the game, but that was before it even started.
31:56All right.
31:59Didn't you two spend some time together this past summer?
32:01Oh, I mean...
32:03A little.
32:03Not really.
32:04And it was a while ago.
32:06All right.
32:07Well, you know, if you hear anything...
32:09We're hoping this kid's just missing, but his window's closing pretty fast.
32:11Yeah, I'll, uh...
32:13I'll let you know, Dad.
32:14If I hear anything.
32:15All right.
32:34Where was Bryce?
32:38Had something happened?
32:44Did it have anything to do with the secrets Clay Jensen had kept since that day last spring?
32:53Yeah, it was a whole thing.
32:54At least you're all safe.
32:57It sounds like it was an overreaction.
33:02Okay, here you go, Justin.
33:04So, the social worker visits a few times.
33:07They process the paperwork.
33:09Then they'll schedule the custody hearing once everything's been filed and they've confirmed that they can't contact your mother.
33:16Okay.
33:17You got it.
33:19Hey.
33:20I think we should clear out the workshop.
33:22Turn into a bedroom.
33:23For Justin?
33:24So we bring him into the house and then send him to a different building?
33:27For both boys.
33:29They'll be seniors next year.
33:30Need their space.
33:31Apparently they don't need their space as they manage all kinds of miscreant behavior without either of us knowing.
33:38Right, Clay?
33:40Clay?
33:40Clay?
33:43Uh, right.
33:51Good morning, Tony.
33:52Good morning.
33:53Thanks for giving Tyler a ride.
33:54It's my pleasure.
33:58Yeah, have a good one this time.
34:00You too.
34:00Bye.
34:10It's not really your pleasure to drive me.
34:13Yeah, it is.
34:15I help my friends.
34:18I'm not your friend.
34:19Yeah, you are.
34:21Well, you're Clay's friend, clearly, so...
34:25You're mine.
34:29You think everyone will keep it secret?
34:32I do.
34:34We're all in this together.
34:36Who called the police?
34:39We don't know.
34:55Even knowing nothing, I could tell Clay had a lot going on.
35:01A lot to take care of.
35:03Hey, Tyler.
35:04What's up?
35:12I can't.
35:13I can't.
35:14I can't do this.
35:15I gotta go.
35:16Fuck that guy.
35:17He's not gonna hurt you.
35:18No one's gonna push you around anymore.
35:21I can't.
35:23Tyler, it's okay.
35:25Okay.
35:25Tyler, I need you to listen to me.
35:27Okay?
35:27Focus on your breathing.
35:28Hey.
35:30Breathe as deep as you can.
35:36Look, you were first with Alex, right?
35:38Stick with Alex, he'll walk you to second,
35:40and me and Justin will meet you at lunch.
35:55Something happened to that kid.
35:57He's not right.
35:58You think Monty?
36:00Monty, Bryce, Jamie Garrison, the kid gets it from fucking everywhere.
36:05There's no way this is gonna work.
36:08It has to.
36:10Are you guys sure you got all his guns?
36:14The whole school was wired, on edge.
36:17There will be an active shooter drill sometime in the next two weeks.
36:21We will not be told in advance.
36:22We don't want to add to anyone's anxiety after Saturday's false alarm.
36:29Clay Jensen.
36:30Principal Bowling.
36:43Hey Clay.
36:44Hey.
36:45Courtney.
36:46I'm sorry to pull you out of class.
36:47I thought it was Principal Bowling.
36:48Oh no, I just used one of his lips.
36:50It's our turn for the new student tour.
36:52I have an appointment in the Career Center in five minutes, and the Wellesley recruiter's
36:54only here for a day, so can you take it?
36:59Anna.
37:00It was nice to meet you.
37:01You too.
37:02Bye.
37:02Bye.
37:05You gotta be fucking kidding me.
37:08I don't really need a tool.
37:11This is the trophy case.
37:13And we actually have many more academic decathlon and robotics trophies, but they're kept in
37:18the math and science wing, which is in an entirely different building, to keep the main
37:22student body from being infected by something like actual knowledge.
37:25Oh, to your left is the classroom of the ironically named Mr. Champion, who stares at girls' breasts
37:32while they saw it into them.
37:33These are posters for the drama club.
37:35We actually have the most low-key drama club anywhere.
37:38They're totally not annoying people at all.
37:40The drawback being their plays are super boring, but really nice people.
37:45Library is out that way.
37:46It's a pretty typical library, as high school libraries go, which means underfunded and thoroughly
37:51devoid of any book that could be remotely controversial.
37:54Oh, this is my locker, which I sometimes use to stick my head into and scream.
38:00What the fuck?
38:01Hey, leave him the fuck alone.
38:02Hey, I need to stick off and leave him alone.
38:04Got it?
38:05Dude, that's my brother.
38:07Well, um, so the fuck what?
38:11You should still leave him alone.
38:12Brothers should take care of each other.
38:14Hey.
38:18I told him no coffee before the tour, but...
38:21They call this the back quad, even though there's no front quad.
38:27And back quad sounds like back-wad, which sounds either like wedgie or a roll of fat that shows when
38:33your shirt rides up.
38:34Football and soccer field down there.
38:37Baseball field out there.
38:39Clearly the nicest part of the school because athletes are our heroes and deserving of everything they want,
38:45including the ability to sexually assault girls and never suffer any sort of consequences because why should they?
38:53Um, sorry.
38:57Uh, cafeteria over there, um, I bring my lunch.
39:01That's not a commentary on the cafeteria food.
39:03That's just a nugget from my life.
39:08Wow.
39:09I've been to, like, five high schools in three years, and that is by far the worst tour I've ever
39:16been given.
39:17The absolute worst.
39:20I'm sorry.
39:22It's kind of a weird time here.
39:25That's quite alright.
39:27It's also, like, my favorite tour ever.
39:31Well, thanks.
39:34He gave me a tour.
39:37Just a boring tour.
39:41I didn't really talk to him after.
39:46Hey.
39:47You don't mind if I join, do you?
39:49I feel like you're more or less obligated to be nice to me, at least for the rest of the
39:52day.
39:53Because you're new?
39:54Or because on my tour you assaulted a guy?
39:59Uh, sure. Have a seat.
40:02Hi.
40:03Ani.
40:05Tyler.
40:06It's a pleasure, Tyler.
40:08So tell me about Clay.
40:10He internalizes, doesn't he?
40:13Oh, I mean, I don't...
40:14You literally just met me.
40:16How would you know that?
40:19Hey.
40:20Justin.
40:21Ani.
40:22Ani.
40:22Justin.
40:23Pleasure.
40:24You know, for a sourpuss, you have loads of friends.
40:28Tyler is my friend.
40:29Justin lives with me.
40:30They're my family.
40:31They're adopting me.
40:33Oh, that's fantastic.
40:34Clay believes brothers should take care of each other.
40:36Hey.
40:38Catch up.
40:44So, he might seem like an uptight asshole at first, maybe even for a while.
40:51But, he's a really good guy, so just give him some time. He's worth it.
40:57How much time?
40:58Mm.
40:59For me, it took like eight years, but...
41:03I thought Clay was funny, but not much beyond that.
41:08His friend Jessica was more interesting.
41:10Principal Bolin is just asking that we do something.
41:13He just wants an excuse to celebrate the damn athletes again.
41:16It's been a difficult time for the whole school.
41:19It's complete and total bullshit.
41:21So, in light of the stressful events, Principal Bolin wants us to come up with some ideas to promote school
41:26unity.
41:27Oh, that's fucking ridiculous, and you know it, Courtney.
41:30Can the secretary please strike fucking from the record?
41:32I don't really actually take notes, but okay.
41:36I mean, why are we even talking about unity?
41:39That's just like the administration wanting us to sit down and shut up and not burn any more baseball fields.
41:46We don't need more school spirit. We need actual change. Right?
41:51We don't need to preach.
41:51I mean, people are just done.
41:54We're pissed off, and athletes are the problem.
41:56Just, you're a cheerleader.
41:58I used to be a cheerleader.
41:59Guys...
42:00Everyone blames the athletes.
42:01Please.
42:01Because athletes are the root cause.
42:03The cause of everything? That's bull.
42:05Yes, everything.
42:07Hey, you guys are bullies, and you guys are never...
42:09Stop banging the hammer.
42:11You know what? It's called the gavel.
42:12The bullying, the harassment.
42:14You guys are always the root of it.
42:16And you guys never deal with any of the consequences.
42:22Look, Jessica, I am super sympathetic to your feelings.
42:25Alright?
42:26Especially given the circumstances under which I ascended to president.
42:30E.g. the ouster of Marcus, the sexist pig who likes strippers.
42:33That being said, the student council has no actual power.
42:37And student councils, as a rule, never do.
42:39And like most, I actually just did it for my college applications.
42:43So if you really want to stir some shit up and make the student council more than just a joke,
42:47you should run for next year's president.
42:49Okay?
42:51New business.
42:52Please.
42:56Graduation is only 46 days away, and Principal Bolin wants us to recruit underclassmen.
43:02I think you should do it.
43:04I think you're primed to explode in good ways.
43:07I can tell things about people.
43:15Hey.
43:16New girl.
43:18Oh, Ani.
43:19Echola.
43:20What do you mean I'm primed to explode?
43:22Oh, shit.
43:23I meant no offense.
43:24I just meant...
43:25What?
43:26I look at you and I see you're badass.
43:29And you just walk up to people and say shit like that.
43:33Uh...
43:34I do.
43:36It's a bad habit.
43:37I got in while always being the new girl and not doing the shy thing.
43:41I pick the interesting people and I make them friends.
43:44Speaking of which, I can be a campaign manager, if you like.
43:49You'll be my...
43:50Wait, what?
43:51I've seen girls like you before and...
43:55I want to help you be heard.
43:57And you can help me with things like finding the robotics lab.
44:02You like robots?
44:04Yeah.
44:06Cool.
44:09It's in the main hall.
44:11At the end.
44:13It's...
44:14Campaign strategy meeting tomorrow.
44:17After school.
44:21Hey.
44:25What do you mean girls like me?
44:28Who've got power they're finally ready to use.
44:36I met a few friends at school.
44:39And then...
44:40Bryce Walker came into my life.
44:55Um...
44:55Hello?
44:57Uh...
44:57Hi.
45:00Can I help you with something?
45:02I'm just waiting for my mom to get home.
45:05Your mom is...
45:06Mrs. Walker?
45:08My mom is Mrs. Walker, yeah.
45:11Oh.
45:13Wow.
45:16And if I may, who are you?
45:18Sorry.
45:20Um...
45:20Arnie.
45:22My mom is your grandfather's nurse.
45:25Arnie.
45:28It's nice to meet you.
45:29Nice to meet you...
45:32Bryce.
45:33Bryce.
45:35My mother never mentioned me.
45:37Oh no, no.
45:38I'm sure she did.
45:40We've only been here a week or so.
45:41Yeah.
45:42Got it.
45:47I got home from Hillcrest today and the house was just full of fucking movers.
45:50Packing up all the personal shit.
45:52All of my shit.
45:53Bryce.
45:54Language.
45:54Please.
45:58He left me a note.
46:00On actual paper.
46:02I assume he went to the new house in Telluride?
46:04You know about that?
46:05I'm divorcing him.
46:06I know about everything.
46:09Yeah.
46:10Yeah, he moved with that woman to Telluride.
46:14He told me to come live here.
46:17I've been calling him for hours. He won't pick up.
46:20I'm sure.
46:21So...
46:25Surprise.
46:27I'll have a roommate up for you.
46:33So is grandpa like...
46:36How's grandpa?
46:38Dying.
46:38But slowly.
46:40But slowly.
46:41So...
46:41That's nice.
46:44Mom, is this okay?
46:47Me being here?
46:49It'll have to be.
46:50Won't it?
46:55Any news?
47:00There isn't.
47:02Still missing.
47:05Let me see to dinner.
47:07Some of those children...
47:10Hated him.
47:11So much.
47:14I imagine any number of them might have wanted to hurt him.
47:19But why now?
47:21Was there something about that whole mess at the Liberty Homecoming?
47:26Was it that Jessica Davis?
47:28That boy, Clay Jensen?
47:30I pray no one has hurt him, Mrs. Walker.
47:33He's a good boy.
47:34No.
47:36Well...
47:38No.
47:39He isn't.
47:42Was Annie at Homecoming?
47:45Friday night?
47:46No.
47:48No.
47:50Bryce Walker came into my life.
47:52And my life got complicated.
47:58And here's the thing.
48:00I know the Bryce that no one else knows.
48:22Sorry.
48:24Oh, your mom said I should use the pole.
48:27Whenever I'm...
48:28Yeah, that's cool.
48:30Don't let me stop you.
48:52I'm not worried about the cops, Caleb.
48:55They're gonna be asking all sorts of questions.
48:56Well, let them ask.
48:58What more can they do to me at this point?
49:00What more can they take away from me?
49:01I'm thinking a lot.
49:04They're not gonna be interested in me.
49:07You're a person of color in the life of a white kid who went missing in a small town.
49:12They're interested.
49:13Well, you're a person of color in his life too, aren't you?
49:21What are you obsessing over?
49:24Homecoming.
49:25Like, everyone posted pictures of it.
49:28Do you remember anything?
49:30Like, from the game or everything that happened after?
49:33Anything that might tell us where Bryce went?
49:35Not really.
49:36We talked some shit during the game, but I didn't really see him once shit got crazy.
49:43Where'd you get those?
49:45I got them from Tyler.
49:46He had his camera that night.
49:54Wait.
49:55Zoom in on that last one.
50:01That's Zack.
50:03That's Bryce Tackerman.
50:04But he said it was number 82 who did it.
50:07The big-ass defensive end on Hillcrest.
50:10When we were helping Zack off the field, he said it was 82.
50:13This morning he told me he didn't know who did it.
50:15Why would he lie about that?
50:17Why would he lie about that?
50:22So, yes.
50:24I know all the players.
50:27I know all the secrets.
50:44Bryce, dude, it's me.
50:47Where the hell are you?

51:33I'm going to leave you all shepherds.
51:37I'm going to leave you all shepherds.
51:40I'm going to leave you all shepherds.
51:43I alone have the answer.
51:50I alone will make one's right.
51:57But in order to root out the cancer.
52:05It's got to be kept from the sunlight.
52:09We can go through it together.
52:11And I bet we can figure out exactly what happened.
52:16Where it all went wrong.
