He's gonna try.

158
00:10:47,814 --> 00:10:50,816
Now, I spoke with Miss Russell,
the school principal,

159
00:10:50,984 --> 00:10:53,820
and she said you and the others
will have to appear in student court,

160
00:10:53,987 --> 00:10:56,859
but the worst that can happen there
is expulsion.

161
00:10:58,825 --> 00:11:00,949
Sorry, but that's
just the school side of it.

162
00:11:01,119 --> 00:11:02,698
I haven't spoken
to the prosecutor yet,

163
00:11:02,871 --> 00:11:04,664
but after reading
Sergeant Michael's report,

164
00:11:04,831 --> 00:11:06,457
I'm pretty sure
you're gonna be charged

165
00:11:06,625 --> 00:11:09,378
with wanton destruction of property
and vandalism.

166
00:11:09,545 --> 00:11:11,503
Now, that means a fine
of 1,500 dollars,

167
00:11:11,672 --> 00:11:15,291
or three times the value
of the damage, whatever's more.

168
00:11:15,467 --> 00:11:18,386
It also means no more
than two and half years in jail,

169
00:11:18,554 --> 00:11:20,013
no less than two and a half months.

170
00:11:20,180 --> 00:11:24,724
Maybe you've forgotten, Bill,
but Mary's only 17, she still a minor.

171
00:11:24,893 --> 00:11:26,934
At 17 she's almost an adult,

172
00:11:27,104 --> 00:11:31,233
and she's not gonna be viewed as
a minor child in the eyes of the court.

173
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,817
But there's one other course of action
I'm going to pursue on your behalf.

174
00:11:34,987 --> 00:11:36,861
It's called the Diversion Programme.

175
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:38,312
Now, the programme is designed

176
00:11:38,490 --> 00:11:41,528
as a way to divert some people
from the criminal justice system.

177
00:11:41,702 --> 00:11:44,028
It involves probation,
community service,

178
00:11:44,204 --> 00:11:46,779
weekly counselling sessions,
classes on victim impact,

179
00:11:46,957 --> 00:11:50,208
and whatever else the probation
officer wants to tack on.

180
00:11:50,377 --> 00:11:53,249
It's a one-time shot.
If you get into any trouble in the future,

181
00:11:53,422 --> 00:11:55,499
the Diversion Programme
will not be an option.

182
00:11:55,674 --> 00:11:58,593
But if you successfully
complete the programme,

183
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,920
your conviction
will eventually be erased.

184
00:12:01,096 --> 00:12:02,722
It'll be like it never happened.

185
00:12:02,890 --> 00:12:04,717
How do we get her
in this programme?

186
00:12:04,892 --> 00:12:06,221
I'm gonna talk to the prosecutor

187
00:12:06,393 --> 00:12:09,146
and see if I can get the judge
to hold off setting a trial date

188
00:12:09,313 --> 00:12:12,480
while I walk Mary's application through
the Diversion Programme's red tape.

get in the programme...

00:13:27,766 --> 00:13:31,847
we eavesdropped on our older sister
because she was in a super bad mood.

Although, sometimes we do it because
we're bored or, to tell you the truth,

Anyway, her friend said something,

we don't know what, because we were

our parents about something

308
00:18:36,575 --> 00:18:39,328

that didn't make any sense to us,

And not a good something.

Well, you know where.

you'll ever see.

318

And we all come from that pool and
have some of God's bright light in us.

319
00:19:22,371 --> 00:19:25,705
But every time we sin,
that light gets a little dimmer.

320
00:19:25,874 --> 00:19:30,336
And eventually, at the end of our life,
everyone goes back to God's pool.

the dimmest lights in the pool

And I don't know what
to do to make things better.

613
00:35:11,153 --> 00:35:13,312
Be very sorry,
then do an Act of Contrition,

614
00:35:13,488 --> 00:35:16,277
like meditate
to get you light bright again,

615
00:35:16,450 --> 00:35:19,203
learn from your mistakes,
and just be normal.

616
00:35:19,703 --> 00:35:22,160
- Okay.
- Do you feel better now?

617
00:35:22,789 --> 00:35:24,700
Not really.

618
00:35:24,875 --> 00:35:26,785
Maybe you'll get it
in the next life.

619
00:35:28,545 --> 00:35:29,827
Look, I'm sorry for everything,

620
00:35:30,005 --> 00:35:32,711
including putting more stress
on your heart.

621
00:35:32,883 --> 00:35:35,173
Because I know losing
my scholarship made it worse.

622
00:35:35,344 --> 00:35:38,761
- I'm really sorry too.
- Yeah, me too, I didn't meant to...

623
00:35:38,931 --> 00:35:40,971
Oh, save it!

624
00:35:41,433 --> 00:35:44,102
See? Nothing.

My voice is strong.

My pulse is steady
and I feel great.

00:35:50,567 --> 00:35:51,979
So you can just stop worrying.

628
00:35:52,653 --> 00:35:55,489
But if you can't, if you feel
you have to keep secrets from me

629
00:35:55,656 --> 00:35:58,611
and end-run me with your problems,
fine.

630
00:35:58,784 --> 00:36:01,869
My stride is long,
my hips are wide.

631
00:36:02,037 --> 00:36:04,494
See, God designed me
for the long race.

632
00:36:04,665 --> 00:36:08,794

when you leave this room, this house,

you're all my blood
and blood follows blood.

Hey, Ruthie?

Oh, yeah. Thanks.

What happened
to his moving back home?

665
00:38:15,337 --> 00:38:18,339
I guess my speech
probably reassured him.

It was really something
for all of us, dear.

I can't turn my head off

I'm worried about coming up
with the money to pay the fines.

And then there's college,
though if I get expelled,

I guess I could take the GED
and then get a full-time job.

- Calm down.
- I tried, but unlike Lucy,

674
00:38:49,496 --> 00:38:52,332
I'm worried about what's gonna
happen in student court tomorrow.

What if I get expelled?

what happens and then deal with it.

I know I blew it,

I've been a pretty good kid.

But your life's not ruined.

This afternoon's court session
will be devoted to dealing with the acts

692
00:40:43,318 --> 00:40:44,648
committed against the school

693
00:40:44,820 --> 00:40:48,272
by some of the members
of the Varsity Girls Basketball team.

While I will take all that's said

the final ruling will be mine.

those present were caught
in the act of vandalizing the gym.

LUCY: There are a couple of things
I'd like you to consider.

704
00:41:31,658 --> 00:41:35,324
I'm in the unique position of seeing
a lot of the sides of this case.

705
00:41:35,495 --> 00:41:37,904
My sister is, or was,

706
00:41:38,081 --> 00:41:40,834
an honour roll student and captain
of the Varsity basketball team,

707
00:41:41,502 --> 00:41:44,705
and even though we fight and argue

708
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:49,459
and I've never told her this,
I've always admired her.

709
00:41:51,178 --> 00:41:54,133
She's also one of the people
who trashed the school gym.

710
00:41:54,306 --> 00:41:56,928
And I saw the gym afterwards.

711
00:41:57,100 --> 00:41:59,141
I also saw my family afterwards.

712
00:41:59,311 --> 00:42:02,230
And I saw that my sister's mistake
not only screwed up her life,

713
00:42:02,397 --> 00:42:03,941
but my whole family's.

714
00:42:05,275 --> 00:42:09,274
She learned, and because of her,
my brothers and sister and I

715
00:42:10,197 --> 00:42:12,736
also learned, that one mistake
can ruin your life.

716
00:42:12,908 --> 00:42:15,067
And when I thought about it,
it made sense.

717
00:42:15,244 --> 00:42:18,162
What I didn't expect, though,
was how much one person's mistake

718
00:42:18,330 --> 00:42:20,240
can ruin other people's lives too.

719
00:42:22,084 --> 00:42:23,828
You trash a school gym
for whatever reason,

720
00:42:24,002 --> 00:42:27,206
and everybody in this school,
including your innocent teammates,

721
00:42:27,381 --> 00:42:29,588
loses a team, a gym

722
00:42:29,758 --> 00:42:31,918
and the feeling
that they're safe at school.

723
00:42:32,094 --> 00:42:33,209
And that makes me mad.

Mad enough
to wanna do something.

725
00:42:35,722 --> 00:42:39,591
And it would be easy to make you guys
write a cheque and then kick you out.

But this is your school too.

for what you did to all of us.

If only by showing up every day
in the hall

00:42:47,693 --> 00:42:50,019
as examples of the best
and worst we can be

730
00:42:50,195 --> 00:42:53,482
and reminding us of how close
we are, on any given day, to both.

731
00:42:54,408 --> 00:42:57,611
Gandhi said we're supposed to be
the change we wanna see in the world,

732
00:42:57,786 --> 00:43:00,455
so maybe part of the way
you can make things up to us

733
00:43:00,622 --> 00:43:02,450
is by showing us how.

734
00:43:03,333 --> 00:43:06,585
I know it's probably
an unbelievably hard thing to do.

But if anyone can do it,
