Hanson: Dan, we need to
have a conversation,

and, honestly,
it's not a pleasant one.

Dan: Okay.

At the school,
we have a code of conduct.

It's a code we expect
all students to adhere to.

There's an issue we've had to
address involving Rebecca.

Text messages of hers
have been posted online.

Texts of what?

I think you know.

No, I-I don't know.

Messages in which
she's arranging

to sell drugs
to other students.

-Who's saying this?
-Including Taylor Blaine.

I want to see what-- whatever
supposedly -- We're suspending --

We're suspending Rebecca
from school.

Well, you can't -- Based
on the nature of the texts,

we're suspending her
indefinitely.

-Well, you can't do that.
-Dan --

Who -- Who -- Who's putting
these things online?

A flood of personal information about
Leyland families has been made public.

We don't know
who's doing it.

Whoever it is, people,
they make things up, you know,

and they put these things online
all the time.

Rebecca's being suspended.
We've contacted the police.

Anne: It's the truth.
It's about the truth.

You don't have to do this.
You do not have to -- Sir.

Anne: These people
can't lie anymore.

They can't hide
from what they've done.

Michael...

No one is gonna get off
this time.

Michael!

People know
the boy you shot,

the kids
on the basketball team --

they assaulted you.

The coach's daughter
sold you drugs.

How do they know?

E-mails, texts.

There's a lot of
personal information

about Leyland families
up online.

How did it get out there?

Uh, it's just -- it's just --
it's just all out there.

Everyone knows the kind of
people they really are,

what we've been
dealing with.

I don't understand
what's happening.

It's a good thing.
There's enough in your favor.

We take this to a judge,
it's gonna help at the trial.

You may not even
have to serve time.

Maybe -- Maybe they put you
in a psychiatric hospital.

Just hang in there
a little longer.

[ Beeps ]

Rollins: When Taylor
bought the drugs from you,

did he tell you anything
about his plans?

No.

What kinds of drugs
did you sell to Taylor Blaine?

Uh, some weed
and some OxyContin.

Where did you
get the drugs from?

I got the Oxy from a friend
and the weed --

Dan:
We should have a lawyer.

We're entitled to a lawyer.

Just tell her.
No, we --

we -- we don't have
to say anything.

She --
She got it from me.

I keep marijuana
in the house.

She has it in candy form.
She gets migraines.

Rollins: Marijuana isn't legal
for medicinal use in Indiana.

Right. I'm the reason that
the drugs were in the house.

You should be charging me
and not --

Possessing drugs
is a misdemeanor.

Selling drugs is a felony.

-What do you mean?
-She had them from me.

-What -- What are you gonna do?
-If I -- If I --

C-Can you just tell us
what happens now?

Rollins: We'll probably
release your daughter

on her own recognizance.

But for a Level 6 felony,

she could be looking at time in
a juvenile-detention facility,

anywhere from 6 months
to 2 1/2 years.

S-She's never
gotten in trouble before.

She's never even
had a speeding ticket.

Her past history will be
taken into consideration,

but so will the fact that

she was tangentially related
to a homicide.

I need to have your daughter
fingerprinted,

and then
you can take her home.

[ Door closes ]

Okay, t-t-there --
there are so many people

that can speak to what kind of
person she really is, you know?

And, like, we'll get a lawyer.
That's the first thing.

But like she said,
the judge will --

You know, the more people
we have speaking

to how good Becca is -- you
know, this crap that's online --

that won't matter.
They can't prove it.

I told Anne Blaine.

I talked to her
about Becca.

I-I was so worried that --
that her son would talk,

and I -- I th-- I thought
that I could reach out to her

as a mother.

But why -- why -- why would you
say anything?!

I-I had to do something.

Ken:
I need you all to listen,

because things are gonna happen
very quickly.

Detectives are gonna come in

and talk about Taylor Blaine
getting beat up.

-Okay.
-You all talked to me.

Kevin gave me a statement.
-He did that.

I'm the one who withheld a
statement. I did that on my own.

-No.
-What are you talking about?

And they're going to try to
connect our e-mails

about going after Anne Blaine

and her medical records
getting put online.

Don't say anything
about that.

Keep quiet.
Nothing's gonna happen.

I'm taking the blame for this.

All you have to do --
take care of your son.

[ Door opens, closes ]

Michael,
what did you do?

I couldn't let Kevin
take the hit. I'm sorry.

Tell me what you did.

I told him to get rid
of Kevin's confession.

Did you know about this?

No.

We brought Kevin in here
to tell the truth!

What's the truth get us?

It makes Kevin and his friends
look like thugs,

Taylor Blaine
look like a victim.

The boy is a murderer, and I wasn't gonna
help him walk and make Kevin look guilty.

Kevin didn't know
about the beating!

Who's gonna believe that?

Everything that boy's mother
has said about us.

You gonna trust other people to
know, like, lies from the truth?

Well, now Kevin
looks like the liar,

and our friend
is gonna admit to something

just to keep us
out of trouble.

So now you want to get religion.
It's not time for religion.

No, it's not about religion.
You're digging Kevin in deeper!

It should have never even
been about him!

Two boys at a party having sex,
and he gets caught up?

Whatever we've done
for our son,

it's nothing compared to
what that woman has done.

Did you have anything
to do

with that woman's medical
records coming out online?

You know what?

I wish I did.

When you talk
to the detectives,

you're gonna tell them
everything you know --

everything!

You understand?

Yeah.

So...

I resign, and I get...

$75,000.

[ Sighs ]

That's a hell
of a settlement.

That's hush-up money.

That's "be quiet and go away"
money.

You've become a problem,
and the board wants you to stop.

[ Sighs ]

Look, I was never a problem

until I started
being your soldier.

You weren't a problem before

because, honest to God, Chris,
you never took a stand before.

The district gave me hell
for things that happened

at some other school --
a private school --

You had a chance
to defend yourself.

You wasted it.

I sat through your review.

I saw you get crushed
by the whites on one side

and the Hispanics
on the other.

A kid got beat.

A girl got harassed.

It's not all about race.

A black student got beat.

The Hispanics rallied around
their own.

And the minute
a black administrator

tries to
say something about it,

they find a way
to move you out the door.

What do you think
it's all about?

I'm not
getting pushed out

because
I was trying to do right.

Do you understand
what's going on here?

You litigate to keep your job.
That costs the district money.

You sign that paper
and take a settlement,

it costs the district, too.

All those things
you wanted to do for the school,

either way, right now you're
just costing the district money.

What do I do?

I really don't know
that it matters anymore.

And everything that's going on
now, it's not right.

You know, the only thing
I was trying to do

was hold The Leyland School
accountable

for the damage they did
to Taylor Blaine.

You know, the people who are putting all
this personal information online now --

they're just going after
anybody.

That's not how it works.
-Since when are there rules?

You went after people.
You put up e-mails.

My --
My thing got hijacked.

I'm not trying to shame people
for no reason.

You -- You -- You need to
do something about this.

You don't like what's happening,
you need to stop it.

I-I mean,
it's not that easy.

I don't even know
who these people are.

That's a problem,
isn't it,

when people
who aren't accountable

start taking control?

[ Door closes ]

It was after
a basketball game.

We lost bad,

and everything was just
feeling wrong, you know?

And, uh, we went to eat after,
me and some of the guys,

and I just started jawing on
them, you know --

Taylor Blaine,
how I don't like him,

how I think he lied
about getting raped, and --

Rollins:
You know he was lying?

You know
he was telling the truth?

Anyways, I was going on about
him, talking the talk, right,

and they took it for real.

Some of the guys showed up
at my place,

told me to call Taylor,

tell him to meet me
at the 5th Street Rec Center.

And what they say,
you do?

They were looking to
mess somebody up.

It was Taylor
or it was me.

As far as they cared,
any fag will do.

What led you
to believe that?

I don't believe it.

Wes said it.

Wes Baxter -- the same boy
Taylor Blaine shot?

Yeah.

Who else?

LeSean Young.

You and Wes
were the ringleaders.

You pressured Eric
into calling Taylor,

and then you led a little gang
to go beat him.

Really?

I ain't saying nothing
to you.

You targeted Taylor Blaine

because of
his sexual orientation.

You know what that is?

That's a hate crime.

You know what?
Man, go...yourself.

Is there anything else
you want to add?

No.

What's going to happen?

Are -- Are you going to
arrest him?

We're still investigating,

but if your son
wants to help himself,

he needs to be ready
to repeat all of this in court.

[ Papers rustle ]

[ Door closes ]

They're gonna put me
in jail.

You heard what she said.

If you testify --

I got to go in court

and say that I'm a thug

and that I got the guy who says
I raped him beat up?

Curt:
No. You got to help yourself.

That is helping him.

That's doing for him.

No, you're doing this
for you.

He lied about me.

He -- He killed Wes.

But he gets to be
the victim.

I told the truth.

From the jump,
I told the truth.

But the rest of my life, they're
gonna think I attacked him.

Curt:
Look, you're 17, all right?

This isn't
the rest of your life.

Things can change.

Somebody screams rape,

and nobody cares
what really happened.

How does he get to own

You understand?

[ Beeping ]

Chris: I wanted to apologize for
how I handled your situation.

I was more focused on
what happened

between the two boys
than what happened to you.

You know, people are saying
maybe I didn't do this or that

because I favor black students
over Hispanic students.

If you'd come to me, I would
have done everything I could.

I didn't want to
talk about it.

You have a right
to speak up.

You know what?

This whole thing,
nobody's cared about me.

Tre didn't care about me
when he was grabbing at me.

All I was to Mateo
was something to fight over.

And to all those kids
outside protesting,

I was just
something to get mad about.

And Taylor --

all I was to him

was a way of fooling people
into thinking he's straight.

I thought
Taylor was a liar

'cause he didn't tell anybody
about Eric raping him.

All I got was grabbed.

I don't want to say anything
to anybody.

You know
what's messed up?

The only people in all this who
did right by me and my family,

The Leyland School.

Leyland? How?

sometimes, you know?

You got to take
what's in front of you.

going to give you 10 minutes.

Can we talk privately?

I'm doing this as a courtesy.

If you've got something to say,
say it.

Uh, my -- my daughter -- you
know what's going on with her?

-Yes.
-You -- You know everything

around the whole
Taylor Blaine case.

I mean,
it's just -- it's toxic.

And what people think,
what they believe --

it's a whole lot different
than the truth.

The truth is that
Becca's a good girl.

You know, if there's anything --
Maybe she's --

Look,
every kid makes mistakes.

But you are so skilled
at teaching right from wrong

and connecting with students
as people,

not just as names
on a ledger.

Isn't that
what you told me?

[ Sighs ]

My daughter needs help.

I-I need people to speak to what
kind of person she really is.

You know, I mean...

you're in a good position.

You were in a good position
not long ago.

Someone asked you to speak
to what you know.

What did you say about me?

You said you understood why
someone would want to kill me.

[ Sighs ]

Your daughter
is a drug dealer.

Your team
behaved like a gang.

But you want me to waste what
capital I have attempting to --

Look, I-I helped you get
to where you are.

That means nothing? What you think you
did for me means absolutely nothing.

-You have about five minutes.
-What means something

is being in a position
to accomplish

the things I need to
accomplish here.

You won, Leslie.

I -- I-I-I know
what it's like to -- to win.

I-I-I know how good
it feels.

And, you know,
a lot of times,

it gets in the way
of everything else.

You got in your own way.
You lied.

No, there's a difference
between lying and --

and hiding the truth.

One will get you caught,
the other one won't?

-It's time to wrap this up.
-Shut up!

I'm tr-- I'm trying
to save my girl.

I can't help you.

Cammy: Hello.
This is Cammy Ross.

Uh, Cammy,
this is Dan Sullivan.

We spoke
a couple of weeks ago.

Uh, you interviewed me
about Anne Blaine.

Mm-hmm. What can I do for you,
Mr. Sullivan?

Yeah. I-I've been, uh --
I've been reading these, uh --

these articles that you wrote
about this, uh -- this hacker,

the one
who's going after Leyland,

and I wanted to know
if you could, um --

Well,
I need to contact him.

I can't really do that.

He spoke to me
in confidence.

No.
I-I just need to talk to him.

That's all. That's it.
It's, um...

Look, uh,
you know what's going on.

You know what's happening
with all our families.

I really --
I-I just need to talk to him.

Um, what I can do, I can
give him your contact info,

and he can reach out to you
if he wants.

Yeah, do that.
Yeah, please.

Sebastian:
The stuff that's coming out now,

personal stuff about
your family and others,

I got nothing
to do with that.

Dan: Sure.

I'm serious.
I got a code.

I go after institutions.

And, see, I-I-I don't mess
with people

that are messing with my project.
Sebastian, I-I got to be straight with you.

I'm a little tired of, uh, people
talking about their morals.

Everybody's got
their principles,

and their principles

are dragging my daughter
closer to jail.

So, you want to
take your project back?

You want to go after
the people in power?

These are Anne Blaine's
original medical records.

Where did you get these?

Eh, you know,
when they first went online,

Leslie Graham
had me do some interviews.

She basically walked me through
what to say.

And I found it really odd
that she knew so much

about something that had
just gone up online.

And I asked her
about these documents,

and she acted like she didn't
know what I was talking about.

Now -- Now,
I'm, um -- I'm trusting.

I-I really am.
Very trusting.

But I'm not stupid.

So [chuckles] you know,
Leslie -- she's very careful.

Any documents that might be
in her office end of the day,

she'll shred them.

It's an obsession.

But I got my habits, too.

What's that?

I'm patient.

I'm really damn patient.

Peter:
What did the cops say?

Nothing.

Are you gonna go to jail?

I don't know.

If I do for him,
maybe not.

If I -- I help him,
they'll probably let me off.

So...

what now?

I don't know.

Police are gonna do
what they're gonna do.

I don't mean with them.

What about...

you and me and Dad?

I don't want us to be
like how we are.

Well, there's not much
you can do.

Dad's clueless.
Mom's crazy.

You -- You get on
everybody else,

but you're not perfect.

You call me an ass...
'cause I'm gay.

You write stuff about me
on the walls at your school,

but you want what?
Want to hug me now?

When I was with Mom, when
I was scared, you came for me.

You want to tell me how much
you love me and miss me?

You want every day to be like Christmas?
You and Dad, you came.

It can be different.

Remember...

Remember when you and me
were gonna ride our bikes

all the way to Chicago?
-Stop it.

Grabbed a box of cereal,
bottle of water,

threw them in a backpack?

We got about a mile --

Shut up. Shut up.

We got about a mile,

and then it got too dark
for us to see anything,

and you told me
to turn around.

And we did.

[ Spoon clanks ]

[ Door closes ]

Eric Tanner's
in a position to testify

that Wes and those other players
assaulted you.

All you have to do
is confirm it in court.

If I do, what happens?

Anne:
Well, a jury hears that,

they're gonna
see things different.

They're gonna let me off?

It'll have more effect
in the sentencing phase.

They're gonna convict me.

You committed
involuntary manslaughter.

But there are clear,
mitigating circumstances

that could reduce your sentence,
maybe remove it.

Eric's testimony
is compelling.

What he tells a jury
will matter.

How much time would I get
if I took a plea deal?

-Why? Why would you do --
-How much time?

-You don't need a deal.
-I'm talking to my lawyer.

What's the best deal
you could get?

The best.

Maybe 10 years,

five served,
less with supervision.

That's a guess.

Maybe five years.

Served in prison.

They're trying you
as an adult.

Can I talk to my mother,
please?

[ Door buzzes ]

[ Door opens, closes ]

I don't want a trial.
I want to plead guilty.

Taylor, listen to me.

You're -- You're --
You're almost there.

All you have to do
is you go into court --

Tell them I got attacked,
that I got beat up?

You were.

I go into that room one more
time and act like a victim.

You were victimized.
That doesn't mean --

How do you think
it makes me feel

to have my future depend
on the guy who raped me?

He raped me, and he...

He gets to be my savior?

He gets to put on a suit
and go into court

and talk about
how he's gonna do right?

Well, he's -- he's --
he's gonna help you.

The same guy who held me down
and assaulted me

gets to act like
he give a...

[ Sighs ] He's just
trying to save himself.

Why don't you want him
in court with you?

I mean, are you...

Are you trying to
punish yourself?

The posters in your room,
the e-mails you sent around,

being violent,
being destructive --

Is that really
what you want?

You know,
when that gun went off,

for the first time
since that party,

I stopped feeling like
a victim.

Did you mean
to shoot that boy?

-Doesn't matter.
-Yes, it matters.

No, I'm not talking about
what I was trying to do.

I'm talking about
how I felt after.

I'm standing up,
somebody else is on the ground,

I'm walking away,
not feeling like a victim,

not being the one getting beat,
getting raped.

It felt good.

So not putting this
on a jury

or my rapist

and not making it
about you,

that feels good.

Serving 10 years
so you can feel good?

I can't let you do that.

None of this is your fault,
Mom.

I don't feel guilty.

I'm taking responsibility.

Everyone else
is taking theirs.

I know you want to own up
to what is yours,

but you can't go into court
and take the guilt.

Leslie:
It's a lie. This is a lie.

I didn't post that woman's
medical records online.

Dan is saying
they came from your office.

[ Scoffs ]
That's not possible.

Dan is being petty.
He's being vindictive.

He's going public.
He's willing to testify.

Well, that means what?

A liar's willing to lie
on the record?

He gives those to some
faceless hacker to post online,

that makes any of it true?

He's just --
He's lashing out.

He doesn't care
who he hurts.

We'll investigate that.

Well, you're damn right
we'll investigate it.

If that's how
he wants to play things,

boy, he doesn't know
what hurt is.

Leslie, we'll investigate,

and when we
make a determination

about the authenticity
of the material --

W-W-W-W-Wait. Hold on.

The interim trustee's decided
the best thing for the school

would be
for you to step down

until we can determine
if Dan's allegations hold merit.

If...

You mean
you believe him?

We're concerned
about how this can impact

Anne Blaine's suit
against the school.

Do you really think
I would do anything like this?

I'm careful.
I am very careful.

Are you saying
you wouldn't have done this,

or are you saying
you wouldn't have gotten caught?

[ Doorbell rings ]

May I speak to Dan?

No.

Just for a minute.

If you don't leave right now,
I'll call the police.

Steph.

Let me talk to her.

Not in the house.
She's not coming in the house.

The lawyer thinks Becca
will get 12 months in detention,

probation after that.

Could've been better if we had
more people speaking up for her.

Becca's going to be
all right.

She is.

So, what you're doing,

trying to hurt people
indiscriminately --

Oh, I've been very focused
on who I want to hurt.

It's not just me.

You've given that woman
ammunition against Leyland.

It's made it harder for
the whole school to recover,

for every family there to --

Yeah, they'll all be looking at
themselves a whole lot harder.

Maybe if you and me
had done that,

we wouldn't be
standing here now.

You didn't do
the right thing.

All you care about
is winning.

The story plays really well,
though.

Heartbroken father

so he may
speak truth to power.

But sooner or later,
people are gonna put together

for a living.

shred them,

then put them
back together.

That is a good story.

That doesn't make it
the truth.

Take it with you
when you go.

a fresh start.

and you want to talk to me
about personal e-mails?

Okay.

There are...

[ Sighs ]

For people of color,

there's a world that we live in
that's different than yours.

One you'll never, ever experience.
Terri --

And the way we express those
experiences, out of context,

can be taken to mean something
that they don't.

I wouldn't want anyone
going through my e-mails...

...but you talk
about white trash,

y-you talk about
white entitlement.

That's nothing compared to
what my family

and families like ours
deal with daily...

Money or not, status or not,
we deal.

And it may not
sound correct,

but I have a right
to my privacy.

You do, but this is
a publicly held company.

We told the truth.

You're gonna
punish us for that?

[ Sighs ]

No one's talking "punish."

All we're taking about
is giving you and your family

an opportunity to reset.

Where?

St. Louis.

It would be a lateral move
in pay but with a reduced title.

Well...

I don't know
if that's going to work.

It's what's being offered.

The only other thing on the
table is a severance package.

I'm sorry.

Michael: Not happening.

It's not -- not going down
like this. No.

Take Kevin out of school
senior year?

No, we're gonna
get our lawyer on it,

and we're gonna
fight this.

If these people just think
they can just run us off...

Michael:
And for what? E-mails?

E-mails.

Senior year.

Supposed to be
his best one.

[ Sighs ]

Well, what it was
isn't how it is.

Kevin: You okay?

You and Dad okay?

We're going to be okay.

[ Sighs ]

You know,
I'm really, uh...

I'm...I'm really sorry...
about everything --

that night, the things I did,
things that happened.

Now everybody's
coming after you.

Mm.
Not coming after.

Things are catching up
to us.

Well --
Well, I'm not afraid.

You know, if we got to go to
St. Louis or --

I don't know
what's going to happen.

Dad
was telling me one time

why he designs
the way he does.

It's -- You got to make the most
out of what you have, right?

So I just feel like
whatever we got,

we can handle it.

What?

I love you.

I love you, too.

Butler: There are few people
who possess the traits necessary

to be a leader
in private education.

This is one such person.

I'm proud to say
he's our new Head of School.

Welcome, please,
Dominic Calderon.

[ Applause ]

[ Both speaking indistinctly ]

Dominic: Thank you, Senator.

I am very thrilled

to be standing here
in front of you all.

The Leyland School is one
that I have admired for years.

So to have been chosen now

as your new Head of School
is truly an honor.

And you all have had to weather

some very difficult times
recently,

but I believe that the character
of The Leyland School

has persevered.

There's a tradition
of excellence here.

A tradition
that can only be enhanced

as the school continues to grow.

The future of The Leyland School
is the future of education,

a future that we can all
arrive at together.

Judge Isaacs: Now is the time,
and this is the place,

for you to be held accountable
for your actions.

Taylor Blaine,
you are charged with murder

by means of
involuntary manslaughter.

This is a Level 1 felony,

punishable
up to 30 years in prison.

Do you understand
the charges you are facing?

I do.

Has your counsel
explained to you

that by accepting
a plea agreement,

you will waive your right
to a jury trial?

She did.

And do you understand that
if you accept this agreement,

you will be sentenced to a term
of no less than 10 years

in a state-mandated facility?

I understand.
