00:00When I fell from the rooftop, all I could hear were my classmates crying.
00:04Not for me.
00:05They were crying for Chloe Cole, the cheer captain they all adored.
00:10If you hadn't called the cops and tried to stop us,
00:13Chloe never would have been humiliated enough to kill herself.
00:16You killed her!
00:18In my last life, on our senior trip after graduation, Chloe pitched a stunt.
00:23Every one of the school's golden kids would pack flour in clear bags
00:26and carry it through TSA at Troy International Airport as a prank.
00:30I did everything I could to stop it.
00:32I even alerted the parents and saved every one of their futures.
00:35But after the prank left Chloe publicly humiliated,
00:39she jumped off a building.
00:40The whole class took their rage out on me and shoved me off the rooftop.
00:45When I opened my eyes again,
00:46I was back at the moment Chloe posted the prank plan in the WhatsApp group.
00:53Listen up!
00:54For our senior trip to Medford, everyone brings a clear bag of flour in their carry-on.
00:58When TSA sees 30 bags of white powder, they freak out.
01:00Then the cops show up, we yell,
01:02It's flour! Happy graduation!
01:04We film their faces, post it on TikTok, and go viral.
01:07The group chat explodes instantly,
01:09the screen flooding with exclamation points and likes.
01:13This idea is insane.
01:14Normal group photos are lame as hell.
01:16Our class is about to make history.
01:18I'm already laughing.
01:18When the time comes, we all shout together,
01:21This is gonna be legendary!
01:22I stare at the screen.
01:24A chill spreading through my stomach.
01:26I'm the class president and student point carry for this trip.
01:29The flights to Medford, the hotel, the whole itinerary,
01:31I handled all of it myself.
01:32And now they want to wedge a stunt flirting with federal felony trimes
01:35into a trip I'm responsible for?
01:36This time, I won't say one word to stop them.
01:44This time, I want to see whether the armed SWAT officers
01:47at Troy International Airport will go easy on them
01:49without me stepping in.
01:50I'm not participating in this airport security prank.
01:53The checkpoint isn't a playground.
01:54If this gets you charged with a federal felony,
01:57your IV offers are gone.
01:58Take my name off the list.
02:00The group chat, which had been exploding with messages,
02:03freezes instantly.
02:04Three full seconds of silence.
02:06Then the mockery comes back even harder than before.
02:10Helen, what is wrong with you?
02:11Since when is flour illegal?
02:13I had a sandwich this morning.
02:15Should I turn myself in at the police station too?
02:17Here comes Law & Order Helen again, lecturing everybody.
02:20Our class president is such a buzzkill.
02:22One last chance to go crazy before graduation,
02:24and she has to act all mature.
02:26Looking at these death-wish comments,
02:28I don't even feel angry anymore.
02:30Then a private message from Dylan pops up at the top of the screen.
02:34Don't worry.
02:35If anything happens, I'll step in front of you.
02:36We've known each other forever.
02:38When have I ever screwed you over?
02:39Chloe just wants one last shot to go viral before graduation.
02:43Do me a favor and stop calling it out in the group chat, okay?
02:45Childhood sweetheart?
02:46In my last life, this was the same man who kept saying he'd stand in front of me,
02:50then personally kicked me off the rooftop.
02:53I don't answer his DM.
02:55I go straight back to the group chat and type my final warning.
02:58I'm not participating.
02:59There will be no powder in my luggage,
03:01and I do not consent to anyone pulling a prank in the airport security checkpoint.
03:04I thought drawing a hard line would be enough.
03:07I underestimated how badly Chloe wanted to drag the whole class into feeding her vanity.
03:13Slot?
03:14Helen.
03:17Every name has a security order number next to it.
03:20Mine is on the first line.
03:22Class president.
03:23First through security.
03:24Take me off it.
03:25Come on, Helen.
03:26I'll bring the flower.
03:27You just need to take it from me at the airport.
03:29It's last last trip together.
03:30Do you really have to make a scene?
03:32Exactly.
03:32You already signed the hotel contract,
03:34so the class president can just fail whenever she feels like it.
03:37If we can't get the hotel deposit back,
03:39are you going to pay for it?
03:42Helen.
03:43Everyone's really looking forward to this.
03:45Don't be the bad guy.
03:46Chloe's been staying up late planning everything lately.
03:48You're really going to hurt her if you do this.
03:50I look at the words the bad guy and almost laugh.
03:53In my last life, I was afraid she'd be upset
03:55and that everyone would end up facing serious charges,
03:57so I called the parents one by one and begged them to stop their kids.
04:00In the end, I became the villain who had ruined their youth
04:04and died with my body shattered beyond recognition.
04:07You've known each other this long and you don't trust one word I say?
04:10Show up that day with an empty suitcase and I'll shove it in there myself.
04:13The group chat starts slamming the same message over and over,
04:16pressuring me to say yes.
04:18The class president has to come.
04:20You have to bring it.
04:21Don't be a buzzkill.
04:22This isn't an invitation.
04:23It's a mob closing in.
04:25They think if enough of them pile on,
04:26they can force me to nod and give in.
04:29Too bad.
04:30After dying once,
04:31the thing I'm best at now is preserving evidence.
04:43Chloe isn't just losing it in the group talk.
04:45She also posts this suicidal little plan on TikTok,
04:48trying to build hype before the trip.
04:49Ultimate Senior Stunt Countdown.
04:51The first group in the country to carry bags of flour through TSA.
04:55Don't ask if we're scared.
04:56Being young means making an impact.
04:59The comments explode almost immediately.
05:01Some people think it's awesome.
05:03Others ask if they're going to get arrested.
05:05Chloe Smigley replies,
05:07even airport agents will think it's funny.
05:08And buried in all that gawking,
05:10I spot a few anonymous accounts that feel deeply wrong.
05:16Chloe doesn't get suspicious.
05:18She treats it like engagement and gives everything away.
05:2010 a.m., Terminal 2, all of it.
05:22As I read her replies,
05:24a chill runs down my spine.
05:25A news report from my last life detonates in my head.
05:28On that exact day,
05:29in that same terminal,
05:31the DEA busted an interstate drug trafficking ring on the spot
05:34and seized a huge quantity of high-purity cocaine.
05:40Drug traffickers thrive on chaos.
05:42More than 30 students standing around
05:44with wide-open suitcases and white powder all over the floor.
05:46That is the perfect cover.
05:57Mr. Miller, this is Helen.
06:00Chloe Cole is organizing the whole class,
06:02more than 30 students,
06:03to carry clear bags of flour through TSA
06:05at Troy International Airport on the way to Medford.
06:08She even posted a TikTok livestream TV for it.
06:11The second Mr. Miller heard my first sentence,
06:13his tone changed.
06:15Do it!
06:15He called it outrageous.
06:17Why?
06:17I immediately bundled up the screenshots I'd organized
06:19and emailed them to him.
06:21But 40 minutes later,
06:23when he called me back,
06:24his tone had completely changed.
06:26Helen,
06:27I already asked Chloe and Dylan about it.
06:29They said they just bought flour
06:30and were planning to make pizza in the hotel kitchen.
06:33Everything in the group chat was just kids exaggerating.
06:36Making pizza means everyone has to put name labels on their bags
06:38and carry them through the security topple?
06:40Did you read those comments from the suspicious accounts?
06:43What if someone uses the chaos to slip contraband into the luggage?
06:51Helen,
06:51you're the class president,
06:53not the morality police.
06:54Everyone else in the class is telling the same story.
06:57You're the only one assuming the worst.
06:58Have you considered that you might be overreacting?
07:01Using to cooperate won't solve anything.
07:03Don't start running to the authorities
07:04the second something gets messy
07:05and tearing the class apart.
07:07In the end,
07:08somehow I'm the one at fault.
07:10I don't argue anymore.
07:11I just hang up.
07:13That five-minute recording
07:14will become hard proof of his negligence.
07:18If the school won't handle it,
07:19I'll go to someone who will.
07:26I filed a report with the police
07:28about the entire prank
07:29and specifically flagged the drug-related risk
07:30behind those suspicious accounts.
07:32We'll notify the DEA and TA
07:33at Troy International Airport immediately.
07:35Helen, protect your suitcase.
07:36Do not let anyone touch it.
07:44After I left the police station,
07:46I thought I'd made my line in the sand clear enough.
07:49Too bad some people insist
07:50on walking straight into the line of fire.
07:55Helen,
07:56I know you hate trouble.
07:57Tomorrow,
07:58you don't have to say anything
07:59and you don't have to be on camera.
08:01I'll stand in front of you.
08:03The camera just has to catch you for one second.
08:05Dylan Dale was the childhood friend
08:07I told everything to in my past life.
08:09Back then,
08:10I thought years of history meant something.
08:12Enough to outlie my principles.
08:14It took dying once
08:15to learn that some bonds
08:16are just ropes
08:17other people use to tie you down.
08:19I'm not carrying flour
08:20and I'm not letting anyone
08:21put it in my suitcase.
08:22That's my bottom line.
08:25Bottom line?
08:26You're drawing lines with me too?
08:28You signed the trip paperwork?
08:30You collected the money?
08:31Tomorrow,
08:32you're not getting out of this?
08:34Let go.
08:36I can play nice
08:36and talk you into it
08:37or I can humiliate you
08:39in front of everyone.
08:40Think whatever you want.
08:41Tomorrow at the airport,
08:42I'll bring your share with me.
08:52Back at the apartment,
08:54I emptied my suitcase completely
08:55and checked it top to bottom.
08:57The main compartment,
08:58side pockets,
08:59inner dividers.
09:00I shot high definite video
09:02of every inch with my phone.
09:09If anyone tries to unzip it,
09:10the black thread will snap.
09:12I photograph every tamper marker
09:14for the record,
09:15then upload everything
09:16to an encrypted cloud drive.
09:18A copy of the incident report,
09:20the audio recording,
09:21and my written statement
09:22declining responsibility
09:23for the prank.
09:26At two in the morning,
09:27the group chat is still blowing up
09:29over where everyone
09:30should stand tomorrow.
09:32They think strength in numbers
09:33will force me to cave.
09:35Too bad.
09:36If there's one thing
09:37I'm good at now,
09:37it's preserving evidence.
09:46On the day of the senior trip,
09:48more than 30 of us
09:49swarmed through the
09:50Departures Hall
09:50at Troy International Airport
09:52like a moving wall of noise,
09:54drawing stairs from every direction.
09:59Oh my God,
10:00get this on camera.
10:01This bag of flour
10:02is going to be legendary.
10:04Don't chicken out.
10:05The first person who caves
10:06and starts explaining to TSA
10:07is a loser.
10:09They line up to collect
10:10their powder bags,
10:11as thrilled as if they were
10:13being handed admission offers
10:14from an Ivy League school.
10:16They seem to think
10:17that if they make
10:18a big enough scene,
10:19they'll become the biggest stars
10:20on social media.
10:25Guys,
10:26the ultimate senior prank
10:27starts now.
10:31Everyone's got a bag.
10:32Follow me.
10:33We're going live.
10:34It's time for your
10:35first step to the
10:36security.
10:38For the whole group
10:39to get arrested.
10:42It is not a place
10:44to mess around.
10:48Class president,
10:49this one's yours.
10:52I'm not taking it.
10:54I told you,
10:55I'm not part of this prank.
10:57Here we go again.
10:59Helen Hart,
11:00who are you trying to impress
11:00with this holer-than-throw act?
11:02Come on, Helen.
11:03Don't embarrass yourself
11:04in front of everyone
11:05at the airport.
11:06It's our last group trip.
11:08Do you really have
11:09to make a scene?
11:13I won't be the one
11:13people are laughing at.
11:16All right, enough.
11:17Let's just go check
11:18our bags first.
11:18If she won't take it now,
11:19she'll take it later.
11:21They still hadn't given up.
11:23I set my suitcase
11:24by my feet,
11:25one hand resting on the hand
11:26the entire time,
11:26staying completely alert.
11:28Helen, the Airbnb host
11:29just messaged.
11:30They want us to confirm
11:31the room now again.
11:32Can you check if it's
11:32these names?
11:37Amy is standing
11:38far too close,
11:39half her body
11:39blocking my view.
11:41Her darting eyes
11:42have guilt written
11:43all over them.
11:44Just as I thought.
11:46The clear tape
11:47on the side pocket
11:47is peeling up
11:48at one corner.
11:49The black thread
11:50pinned beneath it
11:51is snapped.
12:02Who put it there?
12:05I did.
12:06So what?
12:07It's just flour.
12:09Do you really have
12:10to treat me
12:10like some kind of thief?
12:11I said I wasn't
12:12participating,
12:13so you're admitting
12:14you slipped it in there?
12:15Why are you filming?
12:18Touch me again
12:19and I'll call
12:19airport security
12:20right now.
12:21Nearby travelers
12:21are already starting
12:22to look over.
12:23Dylan Dale's hand
12:24freezes in midair
12:25and he glares at me
12:26through clenched teeth.
12:27Helen Hart,
12:27do you really have to
12:28make this feel
12:28like a crime scene?
12:29Your stuff.
12:31Your stuff.
12:31Keep track of it yourself.
12:38Every sharp snap
12:39of those locks
12:40is another shield
12:41between me and death.
12:42I photograph
12:43the sealed zippers again
12:44and upload the images
12:45to my encrypted cloud drive.
12:47Locked up that tight?
12:48What,
12:48you think you're
12:48somebody important?
12:49She's not scared
12:50of flour.
12:51She's scared
12:52we'll steal the spotlight.
13:01The man in the baseball cap
13:02had been watching us
13:03from the cafe
13:03for a long time.
13:05Watching these students
13:06open their suitcases,
13:08hold up bags of powder
13:09for selfies,
13:10laugh,
13:10shout,
13:11and make a scene.
13:16Remember the plan.
13:17Once the TSA agents
13:18start freaking out,
13:19Chloe Cole counts down
13:20three,
13:20two,
13:21one,
13:21and we all yell
13:22happy graduation.
13:23Even better
13:24if the cops show up.
13:25Go big or go home.
13:27If they mistake
13:27the flour for drugs,
13:29they're damn well
13:29apologizing to us afterward.
13:31The place is total chaos.
13:33No one notices
13:34the danger closing in.
13:36I only found out later,
13:38watching the surveillance
13:39footage in court.
13:40That was the moment
13:41the man in the baseball cap
13:42quietly slipped
13:43into the crowd.
13:48That was how
13:48the high purity cocaine
13:50got planted
13:50in the confusion.
13:52That pack
13:53of arrogant idiots
13:54handed the dealers
13:55the perfect cover.
14:04Helen,
14:05this is our last group event
14:06after three years
14:07of high school.
14:08Are you really going
14:08to stand against everybody?
14:10Last time,
14:11she cried like this too.
14:12Cried until the whole class
14:13felt sorry for her.
14:14Cried until I became
14:15the villain who ruined everything.
14:16But not this time.
14:17I'm not falling for it again.
14:19That's right.
14:19I'm not doing it.
14:22Fine.
14:23Stand there and watch.
14:24This is what real fun
14:25looks like.
14:31Any normal traveler
14:32would have toned it down
14:33the second they saw
14:34a scene like that.
14:35But these idiots,
14:36drunk on clout,
14:37look like they've just
14:38hit the jackpot.
14:39Holy crap.
14:40The security setup today
14:41is insane.
14:42They've even got SWAT
14:43out here.
14:45You seeing this?
14:46This is real TSA
14:47at Troy International Airport,
14:49not a drill.
14:50Follow me.
14:50We're about to go viral.
14:52Yeah!
14:52One by one,
14:53they recklessly shove
14:54their suitcases
14:55onto the conveyor belt.
14:56The first,
14:57the second,
14:58the third.
14:59I stand outside
15:00the police line,
15:03watching coldly
15:07as this spectacle
15:09of destruction
15:09begins.
15:24The screams rip
15:26through the terminal.
15:28Nearby travelers
15:28scatter in panic.
15:35And now,
15:36you're watching
15:37the best part
15:39of our ultimate
15:40graduation stunt.
15:41Three,
15:42two,
15:44one!
15:46Get down!
15:48Hands behind your head!
15:49Face down on the floor!
15:51What?
16:00At the security checkpine
16:01at Troy International Airport,
16:03screams mixed with
16:04the metallic clatter
16:05of weapons
16:05and tactical gear.
16:11Let me go!
16:13Are you insane?
16:14We're high school seniors!
16:16That's just flour!
16:18Shut up!
16:19Don't move!
16:19These campus golden boys,
16:21so used to throwing
16:22their weight around
16:23at school,
16:23clearly have no idea
16:25they are staring down
16:25federal felony charges.
16:27They even think
16:28this is just part
16:29of the prank
16:29going perfectly.
16:33My live stream!
16:34You broke my phone!
16:35We were just filming
16:36a graduation video!
16:37We didn't mean any harm!
16:38It was just a joke!
16:39You owe us an apology!
16:40The second I post this
16:41on TikTok,
16:42you're all screwed!
16:43I stand outside
16:44the yellow police line,
16:46watching the far me
16:46with cold eyes.
16:48The three black
16:49industrial zip ties
16:50on my suitcase
16:50are still completely intact.
16:54Are you with them too?
16:56Step back.
16:57Keep your hands
16:58where I can see them.
17:05Officer, I'm the point person
17:06for this trip.
17:07I filed a report
17:08with the police in advance.
17:10Here's my copy
17:11of the incident report
17:12and my written statement
17:13declining responsibility
17:14for the prank.
17:22The female officer studies the statement
17:24bearing my fingerprint.
17:25Suspicion giving way
17:26to wary curiosity.
17:28Inside the police line,
17:29meanwhile,
17:30an absurd fantasy
17:31of a last-second reversal
17:32is already playing out.
17:36begin field testing.
17:38Hearing that result,
17:39the little clue sprawled
17:41on the ground
17:41instantly relaxes.
17:44Bag one,
17:45flour.
17:46They think the scales
17:47have finally tipped
17:48in their favor.
17:59see, I told you.
18:01Officer, this is way
18:02over the top.
18:03It's just regular flour
18:04from a grocery store.
18:05Did you seriously need
18:06a SWAT team for that?
18:07The internet should see this.
18:09We're all Ivy League bound.
18:13You think roughing up
18:15a few students
18:15over flour
18:16makes you look tough?
18:18When you're done testing,
18:19you'd better line up
18:21and apologize to us.
18:25Officer,
18:25can we get our phones back?
18:26I want to film you
18:27proving it's flour.
18:28This is about to blow up.
18:31The more they talk,
18:32the more excited they get.
18:33Like a pack of generals
18:34celebrating a glorious win,
18:36not one of them notices
18:37the agents nearby
18:38going colder by the second.
18:39Their eyes even
18:40carrying a flicker of pity
18:41for the doom.
18:45In my last life,
18:46I fought like hell
18:47to stop every bag of flour
18:48and save these idiots' futures.
18:51But in this life,
18:52that flash of blue
18:53under the harsh airport lights
18:54with my own eyes
18:55what real despair looks like.
18:56That flash of blue
18:57is so vivid
18:58it makes your stomach turn.
19:00It isn't flour.
19:02It's high-purity cocaine,
19:03enough to put them away
19:05for the rest of their lives.
19:11Bro, relax.
19:12We'll buy you guys pizza later.
19:14That flash of blue
19:15under the harsh airport lights overhead.
19:21Bag 22, positive.
19:23Switch to the stronger re-agent.
19:25Retest every bag.
19:26Lock down the whole area.
19:27Nobody moves.
19:29Face on the floor.
19:30Anybody moves and you're dead.
19:32A second ago,
19:33these Ivy League-bound seniors
19:34were still shouting
19:35for the cops to apologize.
19:37Now the smiles
19:38on their faces
19:38freeze-foward.
19:42Troy International Airport
19:44always keeps
19:44the air conditioning cold.
19:46But right now,
19:46I can smell the fear
19:47in the air.
19:48Fear and the sharp
19:49stink of urine.
19:54Kevin,
19:54Burskers.
19:56That's not mine!
19:57I have no idea
19:57what that is!
19:59It was just flour
20:00when I picked it up!
20:01How did it turn into drugs?
20:03Stop it!
20:09Officer,
20:09this has nothing
20:10to do with me!
20:11Doctor!
20:12I just bought flour!
20:15Somebody must have
20:15set us up!
20:16Yeah!
20:17Chloe Cole,
20:18you sent it to us!
20:19Didn't you say
20:20you packed every bag yourself?
20:21You ruined our lives!
20:23The dog-eat-dog
20:24spectacle has begun.
20:25The girl who once
20:26ruled the school
20:26is now the one
20:27everyone has turned on.
20:33Helen!
20:34Helen!
20:35You're the class president!
20:36Tell them!
20:37Explain it to them!
20:37I look at him,
20:38utterly unmoved.
20:40I even pull my
20:41jacket zipper
20:41a little higher.
20:42It really is cold today.
20:45Come with us.
20:50Drugs,
20:50students,
20:51and a major airport
20:52shutdown.
20:54Those three words
20:54together are enough
20:55to put the federal government
20:56on maximum alert.
21:01Sir, Helen planned
21:02the whole trip.
21:03She handled our plane tickets
21:04and coordinated
21:04all the checked luggage.
21:06Here it comes.
21:06When prison time
21:07is suddenly on the table,
21:08It was Helen Hart!
21:09privileged kids
21:10falls back on instinct.
21:12Sacrifice the one
21:12who never fit in.
21:16Right!
21:17Helen's been acting
21:18weird since yesterday.
21:19She deliberately sealed
21:20her suitcase shut
21:21and kept her distance
21:21from us.
21:22She had to know
21:23there were drugs
21:23in the luggage.
21:26She even called
21:27the police ahead of time
21:27and never told us.
21:29Officer,
21:30doesn't that prove
21:30she was the inside
21:31accomplished
21:32hiding the drugs?
21:33Childhood bonds.
21:34Faced with a federal
21:35felony charge,
21:36those words are worth
21:36less than trash.
21:37They think if enough
21:39voices pile on,
21:40they can pin
21:40a death sentence
21:41on me.
21:48More than 30 people
21:49outside are accusing
21:50you of organizing
21:50this drug smuggling
21:51operation.
21:53And you're the only one
21:54who separated yourself
21:55from it ahead of time.
21:56Miss Hart,
21:58you'd better have
21:58a damn good explanation.
22:05The interview room
22:06is cranked freezing cold.
22:08Harsh white light
22:09beats down
22:09on the stainless steel table,
22:11flashing back
22:11in a blinding glare.
22:13Helen,
22:13every student outside
22:14at Troy International Airport
22:15is telling the exact
22:16same story.
22:18Kevin says you were
22:19fully in charge
22:20of this senior trip
22:20to Medford,
22:21that you booked
22:21all the flights
22:22and hotels yourself.
22:23I lean back in my chair
22:24and say nothing,
22:25just looking at the agent.
22:27Kevin turning on me
22:28was exactly what I expected.
22:30Childhood friend,
22:31classmate loyalty.
22:32When prison is on the line,
22:33those words are cheaper
22:34than sewer trash.
22:36Amy says your behavior
22:37at the security cop
22:38was extremely suspicious today,
22:39that you deliberately
22:40kept your distance
22:41from the rest of the group.
22:43And Dylan.
22:48Dylan says you knew
22:49ahead of time
22:49a drug kingpin
22:50was going to use this flight.
22:51Not only did you fail
22:52to warn your classmates,
22:53you set them up
22:54to be scapegoats!
22:55If that cocaine sticks,
22:56they're facing federal charges
22:57and up to 10 years
22:58in prison.
22:58Their Ivy League offers
22:59will be gone,
23:00so they need me
23:00to take the fall.
23:01Agent Sanchez,
23:02if I were the mastermind,
23:03why would I make sure
23:04my own hands were this clean?
23:05Because you wanted
23:06those brain-dead idiots
23:07to take the fall for you!
23:08I stop arguing.
23:09When someone's throwing
23:10filth at you like this,
23:11explanations are useless.
23:13Only hard evidence
23:14can shut them up.
23:16Agent, there's...
23:17I watch Agent Sanchez
23:19pick up the phone.
23:20On the screen
23:21is a group chat
23:22titled Class 6 Senior Blowout.
23:25Chloe started this?
23:27Yes.
23:27Kevin backed her up
23:28in the messages below.
23:34I explicitly refused
23:36to take part,
23:37and all I got for it
23:38was cyberbullying
23:39and guilt-tripping
23:40from the whole class.
23:42They thought strength
23:43in numbers
23:43would force me to cave.
23:46You can also look
23:47at Dylan's private messages.
23:57But this only proves
23:58they pressured you
23:58into joining a stupid prank.
24:00It doesn't clear you
24:01of the suspicion
24:01that you used this
24:02as a chance to get revenge.
24:04Agent, I did try
24:04to stop this disaster.
24:08Helen,
24:09more than 30 people
24:10are all saying
24:11it's Flower.
24:12You're the only one
24:12being paranoid
24:13and suspicious.
24:14Not only are you
24:15refusing to think
24:16about the group,
24:16now you've learned
24:17how to lie and snitch.
24:19Mr. Miller,
24:20what if something
24:20really does go wrong?
24:22Don't drag my class
24:23through the mud.
24:23If you don't want to go,
24:24then get the hell
24:25out of this class.
24:26The phone recording
24:27echoes through
24:28the empty interview room.
24:29Mr. Miller's lofty arrogance
24:31now sounds like
24:32a perfect death warrant.
24:35But that still doesn't answer
24:37Dylan's most damning accusation.
24:38You knew about the dealer's
24:40plan in advance,
24:40didn't you?
24:47On that point,
24:48I'd like to show you
24:49my suitcase.
24:53A few minutes later,
24:54Agent Sanchez takes me
24:55to the evidence storage area.
24:57Open suitcase
24:57from Troy International Airport
24:59are piled on the floor
24:59like trash.
25:00Mine is the only one
25:01standing alone
25:02in the corner.
25:03What's this?
25:04The main compartment,
25:06front pocket,
25:07and side zippers
25:07of my suitcase
25:08are all bound shut
25:10with knotted industrial
25:11zip ties.
25:13Every zipper seam
25:14is sealed with clear tape
25:15and under each strip
25:17is a thin length
25:17of black thread.
25:19It's a tamper-evident setup.
25:20If anyone tries
25:21to force a zipper open,
25:23the black thread snaps.
25:25Agent Sanchez,
25:26if I were really working
25:27with a drug kington
25:28behind the scenes
25:28or planning to use this
25:30to get my classmates hurt,
25:31why would I lock down
25:32my own suitcase
25:33this completely?
25:34Someone with something
25:35to hide would never
25:36seal their own suitcase
25:36this tightly.
25:38They need access.
25:40They would need
25:40to leave a way in
25:41for an accomplish.
25:42Not premeditated.
25:44Precaution.
25:44A defense this perfect
25:45almost looks premeditated.
25:47I did everything I could
25:48to warn people
25:48to stop this
25:49and nobody listened.
25:52This is a copy
25:53of the incident report
25:54from when I filed
25:54with the local police
25:55three days ago.
25:56I didn't just report
25:57those assholes' prank plan.
25:58I also included
25:59screenshots of the
26:00suspicious accounts
26:00under Chloe's
26:01social media posts
26:02that kept asking
26:02for flight details.
26:04They think the police
26:05are only here
26:05to deal with
26:05the flower stunt.
26:06They have no idea
26:07that the DE has
26:08this terminal locked
26:08down today
26:09because of the lead
26:09I gave them in advance.
26:13Agent Sanchez
26:14takes all my evidence
26:15and strodes out
26:16of the interview room.
26:17The heavy steel door
26:18swings shut again
26:19behind him.
26:20The hallway outside
26:21the station
26:21isn't very soundproof.
26:22I can hear the chaos
26:23clearly.
26:24The outlaws
26:24who were celebrating
26:25in front of the cameras
26:26just moments ago
26:26have now been stripped
26:27bare by fear.
26:29I didn't!
26:31I really only bought
26:32flour!
26:35I want my lawyer!
26:36I want my mom!
26:39Sir, I don't want
26:40to go to prison.
26:41I didn't know
26:42there was cocaine in it.
26:43This was all
26:44Chloe's idea!
26:45It has nothing
26:45to do with me!
26:46The villain's collapse
26:47is an ugly forest.
26:48The parents who rushed
26:49to the station overnight
26:50are breaking down too.
26:51No one cares
26:51about their tears.
26:52In the face of
26:52federal felony charges,
26:54everyone is equal.
26:56Half an hour later,
26:57the door to the interview room
26:58is pushed open again.
26:59Helen, we verified
27:00your police report
27:01and your suitcase
27:02cleared a full
27:02secondary inspection.
27:03There were no
27:04narcotics in it.
27:05Am I free to go?
27:05We may need you again
27:06as the investigation
27:07moves forward.
27:07For now, you're free to go.
27:09My supervisors asked me
27:09to thank you for the tip.
27:11I collect my belongings
27:12and push open the door
27:13to the interview room.
27:14A blast of cold air
27:15hits me.
27:18Helen!
27:19You and Dylan
27:20grew up together.
27:21You have to explain
27:23this to the agents.
27:24He would never
27:25touch drugs.
27:26He's a good kid.
27:27He got a full scholarship
27:28to an Ivy League school.
27:31Helen,
27:32what exactly
27:33did you tell them?
27:34It was flower
27:35to begin with.
27:36So why are you
27:36pretending to be innocent
27:37and setting us up?
27:40This is Dylan.
27:41Even now,
27:42with his life
27:43collapsing around him,
27:44he's still trying
27:45to use our childhood
27:45history to guilt me
27:46into saving him.
27:48Worse,
27:48he's vicious enough
27:49to turn around
27:49and blame someone else
27:50for his own stupidity.
27:52Mrs. Dale,
27:52your son nearly sent me
27:53to federal prison today.
27:56That's impossible.
27:57He would never hurt you.
27:58He thought it was flower.
28:00He was just joking around.
28:02Did he ever check
28:03that it was flower?
28:04And what gave him
28:05the right to assume
28:06that any powder
28:06handed to him
28:07would be safe
28:07inside an open suitcase
28:08at an airport?
28:12In the video,
28:14Dylan Dale arrogantly
28:15shoves a bag
28:15of unknown powder
28:16into the side pocket
28:17I hadn't managed
28:18to zip tight.
28:20First and three,
28:22two inches.
28:23Two inches.
28:26Yeah,
28:26I put it there!
28:27So what?
28:29It was just flower.
28:31You were acting
28:32like I was
28:32some kind of thief!
28:34So you're admitting
28:35you planted it?
28:40Mrs. Dale looked closely.
28:42He didn't just force it
28:43into my bag,
28:44he admitted it out loud.
28:45If I hadn't protected myself,
28:46I'd be the one facing
28:47federal felony charges today.
28:52Okay.
28:56They thought a flimsy
28:57I didn't know
28:58would be enough
28:58to dodge punishment.
29:00Too bad.
29:01Country A's justice system
29:02does not believe
29:03me.
29:04The hallway
29:05is dead silent.
29:07Dylan holds
29:08his swollen face,
29:09head lowered,
29:10too afraid
29:10to meet his father's eyes.
29:13Helen,
29:14please.
29:14I'm begging you.
29:16Dylan made one stupid mistake.
29:18After everything
29:19you two have been through,
29:20you can't just stand by
29:21and let him end up
29:22with a federal felony
29:23on his record.
29:26When he forced that
29:27unknown powder
29:27into my suitcase,
29:28did he think for even
29:29a second
29:30about the friendship
29:31we'd had
29:32for over ten years?
29:34He must have thought
29:35it was only flower
29:36for the prank.
29:38He never meant
29:39to hurt you.
29:45Did you inspect
29:46every single bag
29:47of powder?
29:49Can you swear
29:50nobody touched
29:51the stuff
29:52in Chloe Cole's box?
29:55If you'd actually
29:56pulled it off,
29:57I'd be the one
29:57facing charges
29:58and losing my
29:59college offers
29:59right now.
30:02The person
30:03you should be begging
30:06isn't me.
30:08It's the judge.
30:10I stopped
30:11wasting my time
30:12on the pathetic
30:13spectacle of that
30:13mother and son
30:14and turned toward
30:15the end of the hallway.
30:16I'd barely taken
30:17a few steps
30:18when a shrill scream
30:19rang out behind me.
30:23Chloe's mom acted
30:23like she'd found
30:24a lifeline
30:25and lunged
30:25straight at me.
30:28Helen!
30:30You were the one
30:31who organized
30:32this medfield trip,
30:33right?
30:34You planned
30:35the whole itinerary.
30:36This has to be
30:37on you!
30:38She doesn't care
30:39about the facts
30:40at all.
30:40She just wants
30:41a scapegoat.
30:42Someone she can
30:43throw under the bus
30:44to drag her daughter
30:45back from the abyss
30:46of a drug charge.
30:47I handled the trip
30:48logistics, yes.
30:49But your daughter
30:49bought that powder
30:50herself,
30:52labeled it herself,
30:53and handed it out
30:54herself.
30:54Chloe is still a kid!
30:56She's just a little
30:57vain, that's all!
30:59She would never
30:59go near cocaine!
31:05You're the class
31:05president.
31:06Why didn't you
31:07stop her?!
31:08At 18,
31:09she's a legal adult
31:10under country A law.
31:11You and your
31:11precious daughter
31:12can learn that
31:12most basic fact
31:13in jail.
31:20The Troy sun
31:21stings my eyes,
31:23but I know
31:26the storm
31:27is only
31:27beginning.
31:34Videos shot
31:35by bystanders
31:36completely blow up
31:37social media
31:38across the country.
31:39In just two hours,
31:41the video passes
31:4210 million views
31:43on TikTok.
31:44At first,
31:45the comments
31:46are full of people
31:47ripping into the
31:47students for being
31:48reckless,
31:49arrogant idiots.
31:51but the tide
31:52quickly turns.
31:54Chloe's mom
31:54posts a long
31:55scroop on Facebook,
31:56taking direct
31:57aim at me.
32:00This trip from hell
32:02was orchestrated
32:02by Helen Hart.
32:03She knew there
32:04were police
32:04ahead of time
32:05and just stood
32:05there while her
32:06classmates walked
32:06into disaster.
32:07A few parents
32:08of classmates
32:09who'd always
32:10had it out for me
32:10immediately started
32:12reposting it.
32:13Some even paid off
32:14rage bait accounts
32:15to wilt the story up.
32:16The comments
32:17turn uglier
32:17by the second.
32:18She's basically
32:19a sociopath.
32:20Her college needs
32:21to revoke
32:21her admission offer.
32:23Looking at the
32:23flood of abuse,
32:25I almost laughed.
32:27They think
32:28hiding behind
32:28their keyboards
32:29means I can't
32:30touch them.
32:32You want to
32:32drag me online?
32:34Fine.
32:35Let's let this
32:36play out for a while.
32:41This time,
32:42getting them
32:42expelled won't
32:43be enough.
32:44I'm going to
32:45make them pay
32:45until it hurts.
32:47By the second
32:48day of the
32:49online firestorm,
32:50the school could
32:51no longer stay
32:52silent.
32:52The vice
32:53principal called
32:54me personally.
32:57Helen,
32:58this has gotten
32:59way out of hand.
33:00The school's
33:00reputation has
33:01taken a serious
33:02hit.
33:03So,
33:03what does that
33:04have to do
33:04with me?
33:05You're the
33:05class president,
33:06and you were
33:07the student
33:07organizer for
33:08this trip.
33:08The school
33:09believes you
33:09were seriously
33:10negligent.
33:10You knew
33:11Chloe and
33:11the others
33:11were fooling
33:12around,
33:12so why
33:12didn't you
33:12take effective
33:13steps to
33:13stop them?
33:14I grip my
33:15phone,
33:16my eyes
33:17turning cold.
33:18The school
33:19wants to throw
33:19me out there
33:20to calm the
33:20outrage and wash
33:21its hands
33:22of the whole
33:22thing.
33:23A few
33:24days before
33:25we left,
33:25I reported
33:26that ridiculous
33:26plan to
33:27Mr.
33:27Miller.
33:27I already
33:28spoke to
33:28Mr.
33:29Miller.
33:29He said
33:29what you
33:30brought him
33:30was just
33:30emotional
33:31suspicion.
33:32Not any
33:32substantial
33:33evidence.
33:34Helen,
33:34don't start
33:35learning how
33:36to dodge
33:36responsibility
33:36the second
33:37you graduated.
33:40Vice
33:41principal,
33:42if I remember
33:43correctly,
33:43you control
33:44the school's
33:44Ivy League
33:45recommendations,
33:46don't you?
33:47If you're
33:48determined to
33:48pin this on
33:49me and revoke
33:50my graduation
33:50status,
33:56then I'll
33:57make sure
33:57the national
33:58media hears
33:59a very
34:00interesting
34:00recording.
34:03I didn't
34:04give him
34:04time to
34:04react.
34:05I immediately
34:06sent over
34:06the recording
34:07of my call
34:07with Mr.
34:08Miller from
34:08before the
34:08trip.
34:09Helen,
34:09more than
34:1030 students
34:10are telling
34:10the same
34:11story.
34:11They only
34:12bought regular
34:12flour to
34:13make pizza.
34:14Have you
34:14considered that
34:14you might
34:15be overreacting?
34:16Don't let
34:16your personal
34:17feelings tear
34:17the class
34:18apart.
34:18Two minutes
34:19later,
34:20the vice
34:21principal
34:21calls again.
34:24This time,
34:25his voice
34:25is shaking.
34:27Helen,
34:27the school
34:28will reopen
34:28the investigation
34:29immediately.
34:30Please,
34:31don't send
34:32that recording
34:32to the media.
34:34Half an hour
34:35later,
34:35the school
34:36rushes out
34:36a statement
34:37on its website
34:37announcing that
34:38Mr. Miller
34:39has been suspended
34:40pending investigation
34:41for possible
34:41derelictment
34:42of duty
34:42and clarifying
34:43that I had
34:44warned them
34:44multiple times.
34:48The school
34:48has folded,
34:49but the parents
34:50group chat
34:51is still
34:51making one
34:52last desperate
34:52stand.
34:54Kevin's mom
34:54keeps frantically
34:55tagging me
34:56in the chat.
34:57If you knew
34:57there was a
34:58risk,
34:59then why
34:59didn't you
34:59just cancel
35:00the flight
35:00in the rental
35:01house?
35:02You wanted
35:03to sit back
35:03and watch
35:04my son
35:04get ruined.
35:06I stare
35:07at the absurd
35:08message
35:08and start
35:09typing across
35:10the screen.
35:11Everyone on
35:12that trip
35:12was over
35:1318 and
35:14traveling of
35:14their own
35:15free will.
35:17As the
35:17student point
35:18person,
35:19I had no
35:19authority to
35:20cancel anyone's
35:21travel plans.
35:21Once I
35:22discovered the
35:22safety risk,
35:23I filed a
35:24report with
35:24the police.
35:25If you
35:26object to
35:26how I
35:27handled it,
35:27I suggest
35:28you sue
35:29me immediately.
35:30And one
35:30more thing,
35:32defamation
35:32in country
35:32A can cost
35:33you a
35:33fortune.
35:34That warning
35:35silences the
35:36parents'
35:36group chat
35:37in an instant,
35:38but the
35:38storm outside
35:39is only
35:40beginning.
35:46Chloe's
35:46mom refused
35:47to accept
35:47defeat.
35:48She paid
35:48off a few
35:49rage bait
35:49accounts with
35:50millions of
35:50followers to
35:51whip up a
35:51frenzy across
35:52social media.
35:53They didn't
35:53just paint me
35:54as a cold
35:54blooded
35:54traitor,
35:55they even
35:55dewboxed my
35:56apartment
35:56address.
36:05Helen,
36:06we heard
36:06you were
36:06the one
36:07who organized
36:07the senior
36:07trip.
36:08You called
36:08the police,
36:09so why
36:09didn't you
36:10warn your
36:10classmates
36:10directly?
36:11You called
36:11the cops
36:12but didn't
36:12say a word
36:12to them.
36:13Were you
36:13trying to
36:14clear your
36:14own name
36:14while deliberately
36:15letting them
36:16walk to
36:16their deaths?
36:17If you
36:17could go
36:17back to
36:18the security
36:18tech point
36:18and do
36:19it over
36:19again,
36:19would you
36:20try harder
36:20to stop
36:21them?
36:21Can you
36:21honestly say
36:22you're
36:22completely
36:22innocent?
36:24Move.
36:25What,
36:26feeling guilty?
36:27Why won't
36:27you answer?
36:37They don't
36:38want the
36:38truth.
36:39They want
36:40a scapegoat
36:41the entire
36:41country can
36:42tear apart
36:42online,
36:43someone they
36:43can exploit
36:44for more
36:44traffic.
36:45In my
36:45last life,
36:46this kind
36:47of moral
36:47black rage
36:48drove me
36:48into a
36:48dead end,
36:49but not
36:50this time.
36:50No one
36:51gets to
36:51drown me
36:51in public
36:52outrage
36:52again.
36:55Back in
36:56my room,
36:57the abusive
36:57messages on
36:58X have
36:59already topped
36:59100,000.
37:01I don't
37:01open a
37:01single comment.
37:03I just
37:03sit on the
37:04couch and
37:05quietly watch
37:06the traffic
37:06outside the
37:07window.
37:08The reporters
37:08outside ask
37:09whether,
37:10given another
37:11chance,
37:12I'd try
37:12harder to
37:13stop them.
37:14They have
37:14no idea I'm
37:16the one who
37:16actually got a
37:17second chance.
37:19In my last
37:20life, I did
37:21everything they
37:21expected from the
37:22good person.
37:23I called every
37:24parent one by
37:24one.
37:25I fought to
37:26stop those
37:26bags of flour
37:27in the airport
37:27terminal.
37:28I saved every
37:29one of my
37:30classmates' Ivy
37:31League admission
37:31offers.
37:32And what did
37:33that get me?
37:34Chloe Cole
37:34couldn't go
37:35viral, lost
37:36face, and
37:37spiraled into
37:38suicide.
37:38Then Dylan
37:39Daly took the
37:40lead and
37:41dragged me onto
37:41the roof.
37:43Amy Archer
37:43stood there
37:44filming on her
37:44phone.
37:45They forced me
37:46to kneel in
37:47front of Chloe
37:47Cole's memorial
37:48photo, then
37:49kicked me off.
37:52As I fell, I
37:53heard them crying,
37:54but every tear was
37:55for Chloe Cole.
37:57I already died for
37:58them once.
37:59In this life, I
38:01will not take the
38:01fall for anyone.
38:08Outsiders don't
38:09understand what I
38:10mean by last
38:10time.
38:11They think I'm
38:12talking about those
38:12ignored refusals in
38:14the group chat.
38:14Only I know it was
38:16a real life that
38:16got taken.
38:17That cryptic post
38:18lands like a bomb
38:19and instantly
38:20detonates across
38:21the internet.
38:25Once the comments
38:26were shut up,
38:26people were forced
38:27to slow down and
38:28think.
38:29They followed the
38:30trail and dug up
38:31every piece of
38:31evidence I'd
38:32already released.
38:33The coercion in
38:34the group chat,
38:35the airport
38:36surveillance footage,
38:37even her written
38:38statement bearing
38:39her fingerprint.
38:46Public opinion
38:47has completely
38:48reversed overnight,
38:49but I have no
38:50intention of
38:51stopping there.
38:55these are the
38:56accounts of every
38:57major influencer
38:57involved in
38:58spreading the
38:58smear campaign,
38:59along with
39:00notarized records
39:01of Chloe's mom's
39:01defamatory statements
39:02online.
39:04The chain of
39:04evidence is
39:05flawless,
39:05Miss Hart.
39:07How far do you
39:08want to take this?
39:12Sue them for
39:13defamation.
39:14I want a public
39:15apology,
39:16and the damages
39:17need to be high
39:17enough to wipe
39:18them out.
39:19They had no
39:20hesitation when
39:21they tried to
39:21bury me in lies.
39:23Now it's time
39:24they learned what
39:24happens when they
39:25come after the
39:25wrong person.
39:31In less than
39:3124 hours,
39:33dozens of
39:33cease and desist
39:34letters carrying
39:35massive damage
39:36requests were
39:37delivered with
39:37pinpoint accuracy
39:38to those rage
39:39bait accounts
39:41and to
39:42Chloe's mom.
39:44The first one
39:45to fold was the
39:46influencer who'd
39:46led the pack in
39:47attacking me.
39:48Overnight, he
39:49deleted every
39:50defamatory video
39:51and posted a
39:51pedific long
39:52scrub, claiming
39:53he had only been
39:54imprecise in his
39:55wording, then
39:55begged me to go
39:56easy on him.
39:57Right after that,
39:58Chloe's mom scrubbed
39:59her account clean
40:00too.
40:01The parents who
40:01were screaming in
40:02the group chat
40:03yesterday about
40:03making me pay all
40:04went dead silent
40:05today, as if by
40:06mutual agreement.
40:10imprecise in his
40:11wording, when
40:12they were trying
40:12to push someone
40:13to the edge,
40:13they never seemed
40:14worried about
40:15precision then.
40:16I ignored every
40:17plea for mercy
40:18and had the
40:18lawyers push the
40:19case all the way
40:20through.
40:25Back it up 10
40:28seconds.
40:29Zoom in on the
40:30guy in the
40:30baseball cap.
40:33Just as we
40:33thought, we
40:34confirmed it.
40:35Because of the
40:35anti-terror drill
40:36that day, airport
40:37perimeter security
40:38was locked down
40:38tight, and the
40:39drug dealer's
40:40original delivery
40:40plan fell apart.
40:43So they set
40:44their sights on
40:45this pack of
40:45students losing
40:46their minds for
40:46clout.
40:47Dozens of
40:47suitcases left
40:48wide open, powder
40:49flying everywhere,
40:50they practically
40:50built the dealers
40:51a cover screen.
40:52Slip into the
40:52crowd, shove a
40:53few packages
40:54inside, and it
40:54takes maybe
40:55seconds.
40:56Sir, if we
40:57hadn't received
40:57the tip in
40:57advance, SWAT
40:58never would have
40:59been holding
40:59that security
40:59comp point.
41:01It was that
41:02high school
41:02student, Helen
41:03Hart.
41:03The suspicious
41:04account she
41:05reported before
41:05departure matched
41:06this Drug
41:06King 2 Network's
41:07online contact
41:08team.
41:10As the final
41:11piece of the
41:11surveillance puzzle
41:12falls into
41:13space, the
41:14truth behind the
41:14Troy International
41:15Airport incident
41:16finally comes
41:17out.
41:22Miss Hart, I'm
41:24a senior DEA
41:24agent.
41:25On behalf of
41:26the DEA, thank
41:26you for the
41:27critical lead you
41:27gave us for the
41:28operation and the
41:28arrests.
41:29Were all the
41:30suspects taken
41:30into custody?
41:31Yes, the
41:32dealers have
41:33fully confessed.
41:34The online
41:34accounts you
41:35identified earlier
41:35were exactly what
41:36gave away their
41:37movements.
41:37If not for your
41:38remarkably clear
41:39headed call,
41:40this shipment of
41:40high purity
41:41cocaine probably
41:41would have made
41:42it onto the
41:42East Coast.
41:43We'll issue a
41:43nationwide
41:44statement tomorrow.
41:45As for your
41:46classmates,
41:47they're going to
41:48prison.
41:57They thought
41:57they were playing
41:58some reckless
41:58youth game that
41:59would blow up
41:59online.
42:00They never
42:01realized they
42:01were the ones
42:02who packed up
42:02half their
42:03future and loaded
42:03it onto a
42:04conveyor belt
42:05bound for
42:05prison.
42:11Dad, did you
42:12talk to the
42:12admissions offices
42:13at the Ivies?
42:14I can't lose my
42:14recruited athlete
42:15spot.
42:15I'm supposed to
42:16play NCAA ball.
42:17Forget NCAA.
42:19Every Ivy that
42:20recruited you has
42:20rescinded its
42:21offer.
42:22What?
42:24The federal
42:24prosecutor has
42:25already filed
42:26charges.
42:27Every one of
42:27you students is
42:27facing two federal
42:28felonies suspected
42:29drug trafficking
42:30endangering aviation
42:30safety.
42:31Your life is over.
42:33No, it was
42:33Chloe bought that
42:34flower.
42:34Go talk to
42:34Helen.
42:35Helen can
42:35prove it for
42:35me.
42:36Helen?
42:37The surveillance
42:37footage caught
42:38you red-handed
42:38shoving the
42:39band powder into
42:40Helen's suitcase
42:40yourself.
42:41And you still
42:42expect her to
42:42save you?
42:45On the fifth
42:46day after it
42:46happened, the
42:47official police
42:48statement finally
42:49came out.
42:50The statement is
42:51crystal clear.
42:52The drugs were
42:53planted by an
42:53outside criminal
42:54ring, taking
42:55advantage of the
42:55chaos when students
42:56openly handed out
42:57white powder and
42:58left large numbers of
42:59suitcases wide open.
43:00All suspects involved
43:01have been arrested.
43:02It even mentions me
43:03by name.
43:04It says student
43:05Helen Hart provided
43:06suspicious account
43:06activity and flight
43:07details in advance,
43:08giving law
43:09enforcement critical
43:10help with the
43:10airport operation
43:11and follow-up
43:12investigation, and
43:13offer special
43:13thanks for her
43:14assistance.
43:15As for the other
43:16students involved,
43:17the statement
43:17classized their
43:18conduct as
43:19intentionally carrying
43:20suspected prohibited
43:21items and disrupting
43:22public transportation,
43:23forcing the security
43:24checkpoint to close for
43:25six hours and
43:26delaying nine flights.
43:27Public opinion has
43:28completely flipped.
43:29The big fluencers who
43:30trashed me before are
43:31deleting their posts
43:32and apologizing,
43:33calling me a textbook
43:33example of staying
43:34clear-headed.
43:35People have even
43:36dug up the parents'
43:37old blame-shipping
43:37comments.
43:38Now the parents'
43:39group chat is dead
43:40silent.
43:41Nobody dares show
43:42their face.
43:47The school switched
43:49sides even faster
43:50than the internet did.
43:53I don't hesitate.
43:55I press accept.
43:56Helen, the school
43:57believed in you all
43:58along.
43:59We've read the
43:59official statement.
44:00You're a model of
44:01civic responsibility,
44:01a real credit to this
44:02school.
44:03Vice Principal Roberts,
44:04I'm recording this
44:05call too.
44:05If you're about to
44:06talk to me about
44:07management responsibility
44:07again, then I think
44:09we can have our
44:09lawyers handle it
44:10directly.
44:11The Vice Principal
44:12lets out two dry,
44:14awkward chuckles,
44:14then quickly hangs up.
44:16Just an hour earlier,
44:18the school district board
44:19had issued disciplinary
44:20action.
44:21After students reported
44:22the problem,
44:23Mr. Miller not only
44:24failed to report it in
44:25time, he actively
44:26suppressed the
44:26complaints.
44:27He was fired on the
44:28spot.
44:29The faculty advisor who
44:30once scolded me over
44:31the phone for being too
44:32sensitive and causing
44:33trouble, who tried to
44:34pressure me into
44:35compromising with the
44:36people behind this,
44:37has now lost the
44:38career he thought was
44:39under the ground.
44:40I heard he's been
44:41pulling strings everywhere,
44:42trying to get to me,
44:43hoping I'll write a
44:44letter asking for
44:44leniency.
44:46I didn't take his
44:47call.
44:48Adults should pay for
44:49their own arrogance
44:50and prejudice.
44:52But the real
44:53punishment is only just
44:54beginning.
44:58This is a mass email
44:59with the high schools
45:00of every student
45:01involved copied on it.
45:02The Ivy League
45:03launched a joint
45:04background review.
45:05Overnight, all 32
45:07admission offers were
45:08revoked.
45:08The reason was almost
45:09identical in every case.
45:11Serious illegal
45:12misconduct before
45:13enrollment, causing
45:14major public fallout,
45:16and resulting in
45:17potential federal
45:17felony charges.
45:20They failed the
45:21character review, and
45:22their admission offers
45:23were revoked.
45:28The parents who have
45:29been playing dead
45:30completely lose it.
45:3112 years.
45:33My son worked for
45:3412 years to build
45:35this future, and
45:36now because of one
45:37bag of flour, his
45:37whole future is
45:38ruined now.
45:40Why didn't anyone
45:41stop them?
45:42Where was the class
45:43president leading the
45:44trip?
45:45How did this turn
45:46into this?
45:47Why didn't anyone
45:48stop them?
45:49I did.
45:50I called the police.
45:52Back then, they said
45:53I was a buzzkill.
45:54Now that everything's
45:55blown up, they want
45:56to blame me for not
45:57stepping in as the
45:58scapegoat.
45:59The nerve.
46:04Helen, this is a
46:06DEA agent.
46:07There's something
46:07about what happens
46:08next in the case that
46:09I think you need to
46:10know.
46:10The female agent
46:11told me that the
46:12four students whose
46:13suitcases tested
46:14positive for high-purity
46:15cocaine were
46:15preliminarily believed
46:16to have been
46:17unwittingly used, but
46:18they still had to
46:18cooperate with a long
46:19federal investigation.
46:21Two of them have
46:22completely fallen apart.
46:23They can't sleep at
46:24night.
46:25Every time they
46:25close their eyes,
46:26they see armed SWAT
46:27officers at the
46:27checkpoint.
46:28As for Chloe, the
46:29one who started the
46:30prank, she's still
46:31causing a scene in
46:32detention, insisting
46:33she was framed.
46:34The agent said Chloe
46:35spends every day in a
46:36glaring orange jail
46:37uniform, pounding on
46:39the steel door hard
46:40enough to shake the
46:40whole block.
46:41I'm not a drug dealer!
46:43I just wanted to blow
46:44up on TikTok!
46:46I just wanted the
46:47whole internet to
46:48remember our class
46:49six graduation stunt!
46:51Let me out!
46:54Congratulations, kid.
46:55They remember you
46:56all right.
46:57Those federal felony
46:58charges are in black
46:59and white now, and
47:00you can't just make
47:01them disappear.
47:08Even now, she still
47:10thinks she was just
47:10unlucky, right?
47:11Yes.
47:12She still doesn't
47:13understand that public
47:13order doesn't make
47:14exceptions for anyone's
47:15vanity or youth.
47:19I walk over and
47:20press the intercom
47:21button on the monitor,
47:22but I don't open the
47:23door.
47:23Helen, I'm begging
47:24you, please write a
47:26statement for the
47:26prosecutor.
47:27Tell them Kevin was
47:27just going along with
47:28everyone else, okay?
47:29He's always been such
47:30a good kid.
47:30He would never touch
47:31that kind of contraband.
47:32You can't let one
47:33stupid prank destroy
47:34his shot at an Ivy
47:35League school.
47:36Mrs. Kane, every
47:37person who took part
47:38was over 18.
47:39Nobody held a knife to
47:40your son and forced
47:41him to join in.
47:41He didn't mean any
47:42harm.
47:43He had no idea the
47:44consequences would be
47:45this serious.
47:47He had no idea the
47:48consequences would be
47:49this serious.
47:51They can't punish all
47:53of us.
47:53There are more than
47:5330 of us.
47:54What are they going
47:55to do, lock us all
47:56up?
47:56Even if they take it
47:57seriously, we'll still
47:58go viral.
48:00It's not that he
48:01didn't know the
48:01consequences.
48:02He just thought that
48:03even if he broke the
48:04law, he could dodge
48:05real punishment by
48:06hiding behind the
48:07crowd and claiming he
48:07was a minor.
48:08A deathly silence
48:09hangs outside the
48:10door for a long
48:11time.
48:12In the end, the
48:13expensive gift box
48:14disappears with her
48:15into the cold
48:15curtain of rain.
48:24On the phone screen
48:25is a 2,000-word
48:26apology post from
48:27Amy Archer.
48:30On the phone screen
48:31is a 2,000-word
48:32apology post from
48:33Amy Archer.
48:34Every line drips
48:35with self-pity.
48:36She says she was
48:37just swept up by
48:38the click, that
48:39deep down she was
48:39really on my side.
48:40She even swears
48:41that if she had the
48:42chance to do it over,
48:43she would stand by
48:44me without hesitation.
48:46I didn't reply to
48:47her long scroop.
48:49I just sent the
48:49video.
48:51Helen's way too
48:51scared.
48:52Let's give her a
48:53little help.
48:58After I sent the
48:59video, I blocked
49:00her.
49:01With people like
49:02that, you don't
49:03waste a single
49:03word.
49:05Evidence is the
49:05loudest slap in
49:06the face.
49:11The day the case
49:12was fully closed,
49:13the DEA agent in
49:14charge asked to
49:15meet with me and
49:16thanked me for
49:17the lead I
49:17provided.
49:19Take a look at
49:19this.
49:20It's the interrogation
49:21footage of the lead
49:21suspect.
49:22I think you
49:22need to know
49:23the truth.
49:28In the video,
49:29the drug dealer
49:30takes off his
49:31baseball cap,
49:32his eyes full of
49:33the careless
49:34indivference of a
49:35man with nothing
49:35to lose.
49:39these four bags of
49:40high-puzzity
49:40cocaine, you're
49:41the one who put
49:42them in the
49:42student suitcases?
49:45That's right.
49:47DDA was
49:48watching us so
49:49closely, we
49:50didn't have a
49:51shot at getting
49:51anything through
49:52the security
49:52checkpoint.
49:53Then I happened
49:54to see that
49:55cheer captain's
49:56over-the-top
49:57teaser on
49:58tick-tock.
50:00The drug dealer
50:01says he thought
50:02it was just
50:02kids, but when
50:03he got to
50:04Troy International
50:04Airport, it was
50:06like Christmas
50:07came early.
50:08It was like
50:09Christmas came
50:10early.
50:11More than 30
50:12carry-ons, all
50:13sitting wide open.
50:14Those idiots were
50:15too busy taking
50:16selfies, live
50:17streaming, and
50:18practicing their
50:18little chant to
50:19keep an eye on
50:20their own bags.
50:21A scene that
50:22chaotic was
50:23basically custom
50:24made cover for
50:25me.
50:25I could slip
50:26something into a
50:26bag in under
50:27five seconds.
50:29You knew they
50:30were students, and
50:31you still use
50:32them?
50:33So what?
50:34Did I force them
50:35to play that
50:35stupid game at
50:36the airport?
50:39Do you know
50:40one of the
50:40students tipped us
50:40off ahead of
50:41time?
50:44If she hadn't
50:45given us the
50:45flight details in
50:46advance and told
50:47us you were
50:47planning to use
50:47the chaos to
50:48get through
50:48security, we
50:49never would have
50:49closed the net
50:49this fast.
50:51You got taken
50:52down by an
50:5218-year-old
50:53high school
50:53girl.
50:53The drug
50:54dealer stays
50:54silent for a
50:55long time, long
50:56enough for the
50:56mockery to slowly
50:57drain from his
50:58face, until all
50:59that's left is a
51:00bitter, self-mocking
51:01smile.
51:01That girl, she
51:03has a hell of a
51:03lot more sense
51:04than those idiots.
51:04They'd get sold
51:05out and still
51:06help count the
51:06money.
51:10Thanks.
51:11I feel no
51:12pride in the
51:12drug dealer's
51:13praise, and no
51:14pity for my
51:15classmate's
51:15stupidity.
51:16In this life, I
51:18didn't take
51:18revenge on anyone.
51:19I just watched
51:20them drag
51:21themselves into
51:21hell with
51:22their own
51:23hands.
51:24In September, the
51:26early fall air in
51:27Westbridge is crisp
51:28and cool.
51:37on move-in day, the
51:39campus is packed with
51:40bright-eyed freshmen, and
51:42the air hums with
51:43freedom and the
51:44promise of the
51:44future.
51:50Looking at my
51:51photo on my
51:51student ID, I feel a
51:52little dazed.
51:54At this exact moment
51:55in my last life, I was
51:57already a cold corpse, and
51:58the people who killed
51:59me were here, stepping
52:00over my blood to enjoy
52:01an elite education.
52:04But now, everything
52:05has changed.
52:07They're the ones under
52:08suspicion for a federal
52:09felony, and I'm the
52:10one standing here in the
52:11open with nothing to
52:12hide.
52:17I heard the
52:18classmates who got
52:18expelled are having a
52:19miserable time now, but
52:21I don't care anymore.
52:22Their mess will never
52:23spill into my life
52:24again.
52:30In our first week, we
52:32took a required
52:33freshman lecture for the
52:34entire class, law and
52:35public safe.
52:44The professor points at
52:45the image with a laser
52:46pointer, his voice echoing
52:47through the lecture hall.
52:48The law never accepts.
52:49I thought it was fine as
52:51an excuse.
52:52What you thought was a
52:52youthful prank became the
52:54perfect cover for
52:55criminals.
52:56Public order doesn't bend
52:57for vanity or ignorance.
52:59Thirty-two kids wrecked
53:00their futures over one
53:02stupid stunt.
53:04Oh, my God.
53:06Are these people insane
53:07pulling a prank in front
53:08of TSA?
53:09That is next-level stupid.
53:11I heard even their Ivy League
53:12admission offers got
53:13reswinded.
53:14Serves them right.
53:15Everyone is mocking this
53:16pack of idiots.
53:17No one knows that the
53:19level-headed class
53:19president in the news,
53:20the only one who walked
53:21away untouched, is
53:22sitting right beside them.
53:25Trading thirty-two
53:26admission offers from
53:27top schools for one
53:28basic lesson in common
53:29sense.
53:31That's one hell of a
53:32price.
53:48college life is busy and
53:50full, but every now and
53:51then, I still come across
53:53updates about those people
53:54the Internet never forgets.
53:57In a cheap copy shop in
53:58the Troy suburbs, Kevin
54:00Kane, wearing a yellowed
54:01old T-shirt, is making
54:03copies for customers.
54:06Hey, man.
54:07You look familiar.
54:08Aren't you that class
54:09vice president from the
54:09news?
54:11Yeah, the idiot at Troy
54:12International Airport who
54:14yelled, they can't punish
54:15all of us, and demanded an
54:16apology from TSA?
54:18Why don't you give that
54:19they can't punish all of us
54:20speech to a federal judge
54:22now?
54:23Instead, you're stuck here
54:24making one-cent copies.
54:27Sir, please pay.
54:28There are people waiting
54:29behind you.
54:30Oh, I'll pay.
54:31I don't have a federal
54:32felony on my record.
54:33So, yeah, I can afford it.
54:37The irony is almost
54:39perfect.
54:40Back at the airport, he
54:41thought 30-plus people was
54:43a get-out-of-jail-free card.
54:44Now he finally understands.
54:46In the eyes of the law, more
54:47people just means a longer
54:48list of charges.
54:55In the comments under
54:57Kevin Kane's video, someone
54:58has posted another link with
55:00the caption.
55:03Once a million follower
55:04influencer, now just a fast-food
55:06cashier.
55:10The former cheer captain who
55:11once chased Cloud at any cost
55:13and dreamed of making herself
55:14famous by pranking TSA, has now
55:16had her account permanently
55:17banned from the platform.
55:20Everybody, look who this is.
55:22Isn't this Chloe Cole?
55:24The one who was going to pull
55:25that huge graduation stunt at
55:27Troy International Airport?
55:29Stop filming!
55:31Please, just stop!
55:32My manager will fire me!
55:35Didn't you love being on camera?
55:36Didn't you say youth should
55:38make an impact?
55:38Now your million followers are
55:40gone, and you're selling
55:41five-dollar burgers.
55:42That's what impact looks like.
55:46I had an admission offer
55:48from an Ivy League school.
55:49I just wanted people to
55:50remember me!
55:51I never meant to ruin my
55:52whole life!
55:54That crisp sound is eerily like
55:56the one from the airport that
55:57day, when a SWAT officer racked
55:59an assault rifle.
56:03The rain is coming down hard.
56:06I walk to the window and
56:07recognize the person standing
56:08downstairs in the rain.
56:10It's Dylan Dale.
56:11Seeing him like this does not
56:13surprise me.
56:13A few days ago, someone in our
56:15old high school group chat posted
56:16a video of him doing back-breaking
56:18labor at a freight yound outside
56:19Troy.
56:20After losing his Ivy League
56:21athletic recruit spot, Dylan could
56:23not find decent work with a felony
56:24record hanging over him.
56:25Now he is hauling freight in a
56:27shipping yard.
56:31Move it!
56:31You weak little punk, what?
56:32You forget to eat?
56:37The comments are full of people
56:39mocking him.
56:39They say he had plenty of strength
56:41when he shoved powder into
56:42someone else's suitcase.
56:43So why is a little lifting enough
56:44to make him puke now?
56:46He used to have a future.
56:47He could have been out on a
56:48football field with the crowd
56:49cheering for him.
56:50He smashed all of that to pieces
56:52with his own hands.
56:57Dylan Dale is kneeling in the
56:58mud, head tipped back, shouting
57:01hoarsely up at the building.
57:06Helen Hart!
57:08I know you're watching!
57:10Please!
57:11Come down and see me just once!
57:18If you're out here screaming like
57:19this, are you trying to get the
57:21police to add disturbing the peace
57:22to your charges?
57:26I can't take it anymore!
57:28That shipping yard is no place
57:30for a human being!
57:32Every day I'm hauling those boxes.
57:37And every time I close my eyes,
57:39all I see is that day at the
57:40airport, me shoving your suitcase!
57:42I really do know I was wrong!
57:47Helen, we grew up together.
57:49For old times' sake, would you
57:50please write the court a letter
57:51asking for leniency?
57:53If you put in one good word for me,
57:55maybe the judge will go easier on me.
57:56Maybe I can still start over!
57:58More than ten years of history.
58:00What a useful bargaining chip.
58:02When he needed someone to take the fall,
58:04it was the rope he used to tie me down.
58:06When he needed saving,
58:07it became his last lifeline.
58:10Dylan, when you shoved that bag of
58:12white powder into my suitcase without
58:13even knowing what was in it,
58:15did our years of history ever cross your mind?
58:21If you had the chance to do it over,
58:22you still wouldn't have chosen my side.
58:26You just regret that I wasn't the one
58:28who got caught that day.
58:32The day the case was closed,
58:33a DEA agent called me.
58:34He told me the drug kingpin who had
58:36blended in among the students
58:37was unbelievably arrogant in the
58:38interrogation room.
58:39Those stupid teenagers chose to leave
58:40their suitcases wide open.
58:42Their vanity gave me the best cover
58:43I had ever seen.
58:44The drug kingpin thought those high schoolers
58:45were lambs being led to the slaughter.
58:47Then the agent slapped my photo down
58:48in front of him and told him
58:49a high school girl had set the trap
58:51three days earlier
58:51and brought down his entire operation.
58:59Those smug boys and girls
59:00traded 32 admission offers
59:01from top schools
59:02to learn one brutally expensive lesson.
59:04The law never gives anyone a pass
59:06just because they're young.
59:11And I stepped over the ruins
59:13of their arrogance
59:14into the life that was truly mine.
