1
00:00:08,634 --> 00:00:09,968
All right, all set.

2
00:00:11,136 --> 00:00:12,471
Okay, you ready?

3
00:00:12,846 --> 00:00:13,722
Yeah.

4
00:00:13,805 --> 00:00:16,975
So, do you mind walking us through
what happened on November 6th?

5
00:00:17,476 --> 00:00:19,561
Um, yeah, it was...

6
00:00:19,978 --> 00:00:22,314
I actually remember,
it was a really nice day.

7
00:00:24,274 --> 00:00:26,276
<i>It had been rainy
and cold all week.</i>

8
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,120
<i>I didn't know was going to be
so much warmer,</i>

9
00:00:28,153 --> 00:00:29,404
<i>so I wore tights.</i>

10
00:00:30,739 --> 00:00:32,199
I really wish I hadn't.

11
00:00:35,953 --> 00:00:38,372
<i>It was really just a normal day.</i>

12
00:00:39,122 --> 00:00:41,500
I don't know how else to describe it.

13
00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:45,504
<i>I started the day on traffic duty.</i>

14
00:00:48,215 --> 00:00:50,634
<i>Mrs. Worthy tried to drop Brian off
in the bus lane again,</i>

15
00:00:50,717 --> 00:00:51,969
<i>but other than that,</i>

16
00:00:52,678 --> 00:00:54,221
there was nothing out of the ordinary.

17
00:00:54,846 --> 00:00:57,140
Then in second period,
there was a scheduled fire drill.

18
00:00:57,933 --> 00:01:01,019
We do those, like, twice a year,
so I didn't really think anything of it.

19
00:01:02,229 --> 00:01:04,856
I got to miss a math test,
so I was pretty happy about that.

20
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,318
<i>I had first lunch that day.</i>

21
00:01:08,402 --> 00:01:11,154
I got there earlier than usual
'cause it was Chicken Finger Monday.

22
00:01:12,030 --> 00:01:13,490
<i>Chicken Finger Monday.</i>

23
00:01:14,116 --> 00:01:15,576
<i>Those things are damn good.</i>

24
00:01:15,826 --> 00:01:17,452
<i>Chicken fingers are very popular.</i>

25
00:01:17,911 --> 00:01:19,830
They're actually pretty solid
chicken fingers.

26
00:01:19,913 --> 00:01:22,833
<i>They're not restaurant quality,
but they're better than what you'd think.</i>

27
00:01:23,125 --> 00:01:24,585
<i>I had a salad that day.</i>

28
00:01:24,668 --> 00:01:27,087
I think, a cookie and lemonade.

29
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:30,048
I had the chicken fingers for lunch
with potatoes and lemonade.

30
00:01:30,132 --> 00:01:32,235
<i>Chicken fingers, chips, lemonade...</i>

31
00:01:32,259 --> 00:01:33,987
<i>- Spaghetti and lemonade...
- Pasta, lemonade...</i>

32
00:01:34,011 --> 00:01:35,137
<i>A cookie, a lemonade...</i>

33
00:01:35,220 --> 00:01:37,031
- I got the spaghetti and lemonade.
- Lemonade.

34
00:01:37,055 --> 00:01:38,491
- ...and lemonade.
- Pasta, lemonade.

35
00:01:38,515 --> 00:01:39,675
- ...and lemonade.
- Lemonade.

36
00:01:39,725 --> 00:01:41,602
- Lemonade.
- I had the lemonade.

37
00:01:45,772 --> 00:01:48,492
<i>So I was talking
to Noah McCusker about something and...</i>

38
00:01:48,567 --> 00:01:49,651
<i>and he just stops.</i>

39
00:01:50,277 --> 00:01:51,277
<i>Mid-sentence.</i>

40
00:01:51,903 --> 00:01:53,572
I'll never forget the look on his face.

41
00:01:56,116 --> 00:01:58,118
It was like time stopped for a second.

42
00:02:00,579 --> 00:02:03,123
A couple of students
just started rushing away

43
00:02:03,206 --> 00:02:05,000
<i>and I didn't even know it was going on.</i>

44
00:02:06,501 --> 00:02:08,045
<i>It took me a minute to process.</i>

45
00:02:09,254 --> 00:02:11,298
<i>It didn't really hit me right away.</i>

46
00:02:12,591 --> 00:02:13,717
And then it really hit me.

47
00:02:16,178 --> 00:02:17,262
<i>I had to shit.</i>

48
00:02:20,140 --> 00:02:23,185
And I looked around me
and everyone else had to shit too.

49
00:02:23,268 --> 00:02:26,313
<i>All of a sudden,
kids aren't making it into the bathroom,</i>

50
00:02:26,396 --> 00:02:29,941
because our our bathrooms weren't designed
for that many people.

51
00:02:30,275 --> 00:02:32,569
<i>It was just a race
to the closest toilet.</i>

52
00:02:32,653 --> 00:02:34,321
<i>So I was already in the stalls.</i>

53
00:02:34,571 --> 00:02:37,032
Immediately after,
people just started, like,

54
00:02:37,115 --> 00:02:38,700
swarming in.

55
00:02:38,784 --> 00:02:40,160
<i>I couldn't even get out.</i>

56
00:02:40,243 --> 00:02:41,995
<i>It wasn't a line to the bathroom.</i>

57
00:02:42,079 --> 00:02:44,623
Seriously! Hurry up! Are you done yet?

58
00:02:44,706 --> 00:02:45,999
It was a pile.

59
00:02:46,583 --> 00:02:49,920
<i>I realized there was no way
I was gonna make it to the bathroom,</i>

60
00:02:50,045 --> 00:02:51,963
so I grabbed a trash can.

61
00:02:52,673 --> 00:02:56,009
People were just trying to find a place
where they could put their shit.

62
00:02:56,093 --> 00:02:57,133
<i>I was desperate.</i>

63
00:02:57,678 --> 00:02:59,137
I just pooped on the floor.

64
00:02:59,721 --> 00:03:02,182
People were shitting in urinals and sinks.
It was crazy.

65
00:03:02,265 --> 00:03:04,893
<i>I've been at St. Bernardine
for a long time.</i>

66
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:06,687
<i>I can tell you,</i>

67
00:03:07,020 --> 00:03:09,731
this was the worst thing
I've seen at this school in 20 years.

68
00:03:11,191 --> 00:03:13,777
<i>9-1-1, what's your emergency?</i>

69
00:03:13,860 --> 00:03:15,740
<i>I'm calling
from St. Bernardine Catholic.</i>

70
00:03:15,779 --> 00:03:19,074
- <i>Yes, ma'am?
- Our students... I don't know how to say.</i>

71
00:03:19,157 --> 00:03:22,285
<i>They're all sick, they're all...
They're all pooping.</i>

72
00:03:22,369 --> 00:03:24,121
<i>It happened around lunchtime.</i>

73
00:03:24,204 --> 00:03:27,374
<i>It was just a few students
and then all of them started running...</i>

74
00:03:27,708 --> 00:03:28,917
I wanted to die.

75
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,585
<i>We had no choice.</i>

76
00:03:30,669 --> 00:03:34,131
I mean, most of us just shit our pants
right in front of everyone.

77
00:03:34,923 --> 00:03:36,091
<i>I realized right away</i>

78
00:03:36,174 --> 00:03:38,051
<i>this wasn't the work
of spoiled fish sticks.</i>

79
00:03:39,469 --> 00:03:40,470
This was an attack.

80
00:03:42,472 --> 00:03:44,474
<i>Before it was all over,
it had a name.</i>

81
00:03:44,975 --> 00:03:46,268
"The Brownout."

82
00:03:46,518 --> 00:03:49,271
The Brownout was the worst day of my life.

83
00:03:49,354 --> 00:03:52,274
Mrs. Wexler, the Dean of Students,
canceled all remaining classes.

84
00:03:52,733 --> 00:03:54,860
<i>- Oh, my God.
- So after lunch,</i>

85
00:03:54,943 --> 00:03:57,237
they call school off
for the whole rest of the day.

86
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,030
My parents came to pick me up,

87
00:03:59,281 --> 00:04:00,490
I go home,

88
00:04:01,116 --> 00:04:02,492
I take a long shower,

89
00:04:02,993 --> 00:04:06,580
and I look at my phone
and I see this notification.

90
00:04:07,581 --> 00:04:09,750
I got tagged in a video
by the Turd Burglar.

91
00:04:09,833 --> 00:04:11,501
<i>The Turd Burglar...</i>

92
00:04:11,585 --> 00:04:12,878
I got tagged in a video.

93
00:04:12,961 --> 00:04:14,921
I didn't know who it was,

94
00:04:15,005 --> 00:04:18,675
<i>but he knew just about everybody
that shit themselves that day.</i>

95
00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:20,510
He was taunting us with his captions.

96
00:04:20,594 --> 00:04:24,055
<i>"Milk, milk, lemonade,
around the corner...</i>

97
00:04:24,139 --> 00:04:25,223
poo emoji is made."

98
00:04:26,183 --> 00:04:28,059
<i>At this point it's clear</i>

99
00:04:28,143 --> 00:04:30,854
it wasn't an accident,
because someone's claiming credit.

100
00:04:31,438 --> 00:04:33,356
<i>Honestly I didn't know
a single person</i>

101
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,692
who wasn't following
the Turd Burglar after that.

102
00:04:36,276 --> 00:04:39,112
<i>He got, like, 800 followers in one day.</i>

103
00:04:39,488 --> 00:04:41,448
There was no name, no face.

104
00:04:41,531 --> 00:04:43,742
<i>Just a bunch of pictures of poop
and the Brownout.</i>

105
00:04:43,825 --> 00:04:46,179
<i>A bunch of us tried to message him,
but he never DM'd</i>

106
00:04:46,203 --> 00:04:47,954
or followed anyone back.

107
00:04:48,038 --> 00:04:50,540
<i>He posted a picture
of the lemonade dispenser.</i>

108
00:04:51,041 --> 00:04:54,169
What caught my eye right away
was this card,

109
00:04:54,669 --> 00:04:56,087
<i>@theturdburglar,</i>

110
00:04:56,171 --> 00:04:58,465
<i>and right away I thought, "Here we go."</i>

111
00:04:58,548 --> 00:05:00,425
<i>We got something really serious going on.</i>

112
00:05:00,509 --> 00:05:02,093
This guy wanted an audience.

113
00:05:03,512 --> 00:05:07,307
<i>For the next two weeks,
all anybody could talk about was...</i>

114
00:05:11,478 --> 00:05:12,854
<i>"Who is the Turd Burglar?"</i>

115
00:05:52,853 --> 00:05:54,563
<i>In April of 2016,</i>

116
00:05:54,646 --> 00:05:57,023
<i>Sam Ecklund and I began shooting</i>
American Vandal,

117
00:05:57,107 --> 00:05:59,227
<i>in hopes of getting Hanover High School's
school board</i>

118
00:05:59,276 --> 00:06:01,361
<i>to reexamine the case of Dylan Maxwell,</i>

119
00:06:01,862 --> 00:06:04,281
<i>a high school senior
accused of drawing dicks,</i>

120
00:06:04,364 --> 00:06:05,740
<i>a crime he didn't commit.</i>

121
00:06:06,575 --> 00:06:07,575
<i>And it worked.</i>

122
00:06:08,201 --> 00:06:11,496
<i>But we never anticipated
the reaction from the rest of the world.</i>

123
00:06:11,913 --> 00:06:15,000
<i>Vimeo made it a Staff Pick,
and before we knew it,</i>

124
00:06:15,083 --> 00:06:17,002
<i>it got hundreds of thousands of views.</i>

125
00:06:17,586 --> 00:06:18,712
<i>And then,</i>

126
00:06:18,795 --> 00:06:19,963
<i>we got an email.</i>

127
00:06:20,422 --> 00:06:22,674
<i>At first, I thought it was Sam
messing with me,</i>

128
00:06:22,883 --> 00:06:24,175
<i>but it was real</i>

129
00:06:24,551 --> 00:06:25,886
<i>and it was from Netflix.</i>

130
00:06:26,386 --> 00:06:28,513
<i>Netflix allowed us to reach
a wider audience</i>

131
00:06:28,597 --> 00:06:30,765
<i>and to add some additional
production value,</i>

132
00:06:30,849 --> 00:06:35,020
<i>like drone shots, an original score,
opening credits,</i>

133
00:06:35,103 --> 00:06:36,521
<i>and 3D graphics.</i>

134
00:06:36,938 --> 00:06:38,899
<i>It brought new life to our documentary,</i>

135
00:06:39,482 --> 00:06:41,627
<i>even though many the fans
thought the changes robbed it</i>

136
00:06:41,651 --> 00:06:43,904
<i>of some of the Vimeo version's
original charm.</i>

137
00:06:44,571 --> 00:06:46,656
<i>Since season one was released on Netflix,</i>

138
00:06:46,907 --> 00:06:48,533
<i>the response has been incredible.</i>

139
00:06:48,617 --> 00:06:51,661
Please welcome Peter Maldonado
and Sam Ecklund.

140
00:06:51,745 --> 00:06:55,582
<i>It put us on the national stage
in a way we could have never anticipated.</i>

141
00:06:55,665 --> 00:06:58,919
The biggestquestion
facing this country right now...

142
00:06:59,502 --> 00:07:01,838
who drew the dicks?

143
00:07:02,464 --> 00:07:04,424
<i>I'm telling you all this
for context.</i>

144
00:07:04,507 --> 00:07:07,260
<i>Because with all this attention
came a lot of pressure,</i>

145
00:07:07,677 --> 00:07:10,889
<i>and a lot of opinions on what kind
of a case to take on next.</i>

146
00:07:11,473 --> 00:07:13,391
<i>There was a staggering number of people</i>

147
00:07:13,475 --> 00:07:16,728
<i>who contacted us about their schools'
dick-drawing controversies.</i>

148
00:07:16,853 --> 00:07:17,729
<i>For example,</i>

149
00:07:17,812 --> 00:07:21,316
<i>someone burnt a dick into the 50-yard line
of their school's football field.</i>

150
00:07:21,441 --> 00:07:25,278
<i>I'm not sure if it was weed killer
or, you know, lighter fluid,</i>

151
00:07:25,487 --> 00:07:27,405
<i>but we had to re-sod the whole field.</i>

152
00:07:27,822 --> 00:07:30,700
<i>Then there was a spray-painting
vagina vandal in Texas,</i>

153
00:07:30,784 --> 00:07:33,787
<i>a serial pool-pisser
in a high school in Wisconsin,</i>

154
00:07:33,870 --> 00:07:36,581
<i>a Navy pilot who drew a dick in the sky,</i>

155
00:07:36,665 --> 00:07:37,749
<i>and a real murder,</i>

156
00:07:37,832 --> 00:07:40,710
<i>that for some reason someone thought
Sam and I should figure out.</i>

157
00:07:41,336 --> 00:07:43,004
<i>But with the exception of that murder,</i>

158
00:07:43,088 --> 00:07:45,590
<i>nothing seemed worth
a deeper investigation,</i>

159
00:07:45,674 --> 00:07:48,218
<i>until I was contacted by Chloe Lyman.</i>

160
00:07:48,301 --> 00:07:49,135
<i>Hi, Peter.</i>

161
00:07:49,219 --> 00:07:52,514
<i>My name is Chloe Lyman and I'm a junior
at St. Bernardine Catholic.</i>

162
00:07:52,597 --> 00:07:55,308
<i>I'm contacting you today
because we have a vandal.</i>

163
00:07:55,392 --> 00:07:57,352
<i>He goes by the name "The Turd Burglar."</i>

164
00:07:57,435 --> 00:07:59,020
<i>This one really grabbed me.</i>

165
00:07:59,104 --> 00:08:02,399
<i>The Hanover High dicks were a financial
headache for some teachers,</i>

166
00:08:02,482 --> 00:08:05,402
<i>but what happened at St. Bernardine
was a different animal.</i>

167
00:08:05,944 --> 00:08:08,905
<i>The Turd Burglar,
an anonymous digital entity,</i>

168
00:08:08,989 --> 00:08:12,409
<i>was waging psychological warfare
on the students and teachers</i>

169
00:08:12,492 --> 00:08:15,078
<i>of one of the most affluent high schools
in the country.</i>

170
00:08:15,161 --> 00:08:18,665
<i>A school whose alumni donors
include two billionaires and a senator.</i>

171
00:08:19,290 --> 00:08:22,377
<i>A school with a nationally ranked
basketball program.</i>

172
00:08:22,460 --> 00:08:25,046
<i>A school that, according to Chloe Lyman,</i>

173
00:08:25,130 --> 00:08:27,257
<i>cared about its reputation above all else.</i>

174
00:08:27,340 --> 00:08:29,801
<i>Because, I'm telling you,
this school has secrets,</i>

175
00:08:29,884 --> 00:08:31,594
<i>secrets that go all the way up to the top.</i>

176
00:08:31,678 --> 00:08:34,806
<i>So after giving a presentation
to our teachers at Hanover High,</i>

177
00:08:34,889 --> 00:08:37,726
<i>Sam and I were approved to make
the Turd Burglar investigation</i>

178
00:08:37,809 --> 00:08:39,227
<i>our senior project.</i>

179
00:08:39,310 --> 00:08:41,021
<i>In December of 2017,</i>

180
00:08:41,312 --> 00:08:43,273
<i>we headed up to Bellevue, Washington</i>

181
00:08:43,356 --> 00:08:45,817
<i>with a small crew and brand new equipment.</i>

182
00:08:46,401 --> 00:08:48,361
<i>Chloe's parents let Sam and I
stay at their house.</i>

183
00:08:48,778 --> 00:08:49,696
Hi.

184
00:08:49,779 --> 00:08:51,531
- Oh my God, hi.
- Hey.

185
00:08:51,614 --> 00:08:53,534
- Thanks for letting us stay.
- Nice to meet you.

186
00:08:54,075 --> 00:08:57,245
<i>She seemed to know a lot about
the mystery surrounding the Turd Burglar,</i>

187
00:08:57,328 --> 00:08:59,248
<i>so I thought it was a good idea
to stay with her.</i>

188
00:08:59,581 --> 00:09:01,374
<i>Also, her house is sick.</i>

189
00:09:04,085 --> 00:09:05,085
Don't drop it.

190
00:09:16,681 --> 00:09:18,850
<i>Twelve hundred miles north of Oceanside,</i>

191
00:09:19,184 --> 00:09:22,270
<i>we found ourselves
in a completely new world,</i>

192
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:23,980
<i>at the scene of the crime:</i>

193
00:09:24,064 --> 00:09:26,441
<i>St. Bernardine Catholic High School.</i>

194
00:09:26,524 --> 00:09:27,524
This is beautiful.

195
00:09:29,152 --> 00:09:30,612
This is the east gym.

196
00:09:33,448 --> 00:09:36,618
You guys really aren't messing around
when it comes to basketball, are you?

197
00:09:36,701 --> 00:09:37,786
Kind of a lot.

198
00:09:37,869 --> 00:09:40,288
<i>St. Bernardine is a school
with great pride,</i>

199
00:09:40,955 --> 00:09:42,707
<i>so it's no wonder the Turd Burglar</i>

200
00:09:42,791 --> 00:09:44,876
<i>was able to terrorize
the entire community.</i>

201
00:09:44,959 --> 00:09:48,004
<i>Well, Jim, police are still very active
on scene here.</i>

202
00:09:48,088 --> 00:09:50,590
<i>They're just trying to get whatever
information they can.</i>

203
00:09:50,673 --> 00:09:53,635
<i>Since Monday, the police
are turning their attention to Instagram</i>

204
00:09:53,718 --> 00:09:55,178
<i>and their parent company Facebook...</i>

205
00:09:55,261 --> 00:09:57,180
<i>...an anonymous account, @theturdburglar,</i>

206
00:09:57,263 --> 00:09:58,848
<i>is taking credit for the crime.</i>

207
00:09:58,932 --> 00:10:01,810
<i>Bellevue Police Department
have released a joint statement</i>

208
00:10:01,893 --> 00:10:05,647
<i>"The acts of the Turd Burglar
are unacceptable."</i>

209
00:10:05,730 --> 00:10:08,191
After the Brownout, everyone was on edge.

210
00:10:08,274 --> 00:10:10,401
All these kids didn't show up
to school the next day.

211
00:10:10,485 --> 00:10:13,404
<i>Were these parents pulling these kids out
or were they still shitting?</i>

212
00:10:13,488 --> 00:10:15,824
<i>Nobody wanted
to make eye contact after that.</i>

213
00:10:15,907 --> 00:10:18,827
It was really hard to do
after you saw everybody else shit.

214
00:10:18,910 --> 00:10:20,950
<i>Turd Burglar kept threatening
to hit us again,</i>

215
00:10:21,246 --> 00:10:22,247
<i>but no one knew how.</i>

216
00:10:22,330 --> 00:10:24,040
Anytime I smelled anything rotten,

217
00:10:24,415 --> 00:10:26,209
<i>heard anything that sounded like a fart,</i>

218
00:10:26,292 --> 00:10:28,837
<i>I would instantly think
of the quickest route to the bathroom.</i>

219
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,589
<i>My phone was ringing off the hook
from concerned parents</i>

220
00:10:31,673 --> 00:10:33,800
who were threatening
to pull their kids out of school.

221
00:10:33,883 --> 00:10:35,802
The administration was coming up empty,

222
00:10:35,885 --> 00:10:38,096
and we just couldn't sit there
doing nothing.

223
00:10:38,179 --> 00:10:41,808
I promise you, we are taking the incident
extremely seriously.

224
00:10:41,891 --> 00:10:44,144
I have a daughter who has hemorrhoids.

225
00:10:44,227 --> 00:10:45,145
I have a question.

226
00:10:45,228 --> 00:10:49,149
Do you know how hard it is to clean poo
out of a monogrammed sweater?

227
00:10:49,232 --> 00:10:52,360
Do you know how expensive it is
to try to get poo out of a sweater?

228
00:10:52,443 --> 00:10:55,530
You'll make a receipt that I can turn in
to the insurance company.

229
00:10:55,613 --> 00:10:56,614
A receipt?

230
00:10:56,698 --> 00:11:00,743
Well, a week after the incident,
we were still grasping at straws.

231
00:11:00,827 --> 00:11:02,996
Hi.

232
00:11:03,246 --> 00:11:04,664
<i>So we decided to open it up</i>

233
00:11:04,747 --> 00:11:07,041
and interview every student at the school.

234
00:11:07,125 --> 00:11:09,711
<i>We followed every potential lead.
You have to.</i>

235
00:11:09,794 --> 00:11:11,921
<i>So, a few students came to us,</i>

236
00:11:12,463 --> 00:11:17,302
<i>telling us that Savannah Hagedorn
was a big fan of the school lemonade,</i>

237
00:11:17,385 --> 00:11:19,012
so much so that she...

238
00:11:19,095 --> 00:11:21,764
She often had three lemonades
at a single lunch sitting.

239
00:11:21,848 --> 00:11:23,057
Have a seat.

240
00:11:23,808 --> 00:11:28,313
Why would she choose that one day
to bring a Capri Sun for lunch?

241
00:11:28,771 --> 00:11:33,193
It turns out Savannah didn't even like
the regular, yellow cafeteria lemonade.

242
00:11:33,651 --> 00:11:35,945
She drinks the pink lemonade
from the vending machine.

243
00:11:36,029 --> 00:11:38,382
I didn't realize there was some
in the vending machines too.

244
00:11:38,406 --> 00:11:39,406
Yeah, okay.

245
00:11:39,657 --> 00:11:41,034
So that lead was nothing.

246
00:11:43,119 --> 00:11:45,496
I'm pretty sure this was Jared Wilkinson.

247
00:11:45,580 --> 00:11:48,333
<i>Why is that, that you think it's Jared?</i>

248
00:11:48,416 --> 00:11:50,251
He's kind of into scat porn...

249
00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:51,710
type stuff.

250
00:11:51,753 --> 00:11:53,671
Then we looked in the Jared Wilkinson.

251
00:11:54,047 --> 00:11:57,884
His classmates told us
he was really into certain videos.

252
00:11:58,426 --> 00:12:00,303
<i>He watches it a lot?</i>

253
00:12:00,386 --> 00:12:02,430
<i>Yeah, kind of at school.</i>

254
00:12:03,097 --> 00:12:05,225
Sex with... with feces?

255
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,018
Sex with it, or...?

256
00:12:07,143 --> 00:12:09,604
How is the poop involved
in the videos, do you know?

257
00:12:09,687 --> 00:12:12,482
No, I wasn't there for the Brownout. Um...

258
00:12:12,565 --> 00:12:14,234
I was out. I had a doctor's appointment.

259
00:12:14,317 --> 00:12:15,597
He had a completely solid alibi.

260
00:12:16,152 --> 00:12:17,872
Turns out he wasn't even
in school that day.

261
00:12:17,946 --> 00:12:20,573
So, another lead that went nowhere.

262
00:12:21,074 --> 00:12:23,159
<i>We heard dozens of stories,</i>

263
00:12:23,451 --> 00:12:25,995
and students were coming to us
with guesses

264
00:12:26,079 --> 00:12:28,122
and accusations that went nowhere.

265
00:12:28,748 --> 00:12:31,626
<i>Parents were pulling their students
from school.</i>

266
00:12:31,834 --> 00:12:33,419
<i>The media had a field day.</i>

267
00:12:33,962 --> 00:12:36,214
We were 16 days into our investigation

268
00:12:36,297 --> 00:12:37,840
and we still had nothing.

269
00:12:39,717 --> 00:12:41,886
<i>That's when Tanner Bassett came to us.</i>

270
00:12:48,935 --> 00:12:50,561
<i>State your name, please.</i>

271
00:12:51,521 --> 00:12:53,314
It's Tanner Bassett.

272
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,068
What do you want to tell us?

273
00:12:57,944 --> 00:12:59,946
I think I know who the Turd Burglar is.

274
00:13:02,865 --> 00:13:03,992
It's Kevin McClain.

275
00:13:04,909 --> 00:13:08,746
Tanner says that the Turd Burglar
is his friend Kevin McClain,

276
00:13:08,830 --> 00:13:11,708
and you could tell
that it was weighing on Tanner.

277
00:13:12,667 --> 00:13:14,627
<i>And that the guilt was building up.</i>

278
00:13:15,253 --> 00:13:18,423
And he says that he believes
that Kevin's going to strike again.

279
00:13:18,756 --> 00:13:19,756
So,

280
00:13:19,841 --> 00:13:21,592
he does the right thing and he...

281
00:13:22,427 --> 00:13:23,427
he turns him in.

282
00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:27,515
<i>Kevin's kind of weird.
But, like, a lot of kids are weird here.</i>

283
00:13:27,932 --> 00:13:30,476
What made it legit is that it was Tanner
who called him out.

284
00:13:31,311 --> 00:13:33,104
<i>Tanner and Kevin,
they're, like, inseparable.</i>

285
00:13:34,147 --> 00:13:36,149
<i>This wasn't just a blind accusation.</i>

286
00:13:37,066 --> 00:13:38,985
This was coming from Kevin's best friend.

287
00:13:39,444 --> 00:13:41,446
<i>How long have you known Kevin?</i>

288
00:13:42,196 --> 00:13:44,157
<i>Uh, since kindergarten.</i>

289
00:13:44,615 --> 00:13:46,784
<i>He lived in the house
diagonally across from me.</i>

290
00:13:48,369 --> 00:13:50,496
<i>Fair to say
that you know him very well?</i>

291
00:13:50,580 --> 00:13:52,300
<i>Yeah,
probably better than anybody.</i>

292
00:13:52,373 --> 00:13:54,000
We carpool together, we're in...

293
00:13:54,834 --> 00:13:57,754
Uh, we were in a band together.
You know, played music.

294
00:13:57,837 --> 00:13:59,922
<i>I think their band was called
the Horsehead,</i>

295
00:14:00,006 --> 00:14:01,966
<i>or the Horsehead Collective or something.</i>

296
00:14:02,050 --> 00:14:03,926
Their music was kind of experimental.

297
00:14:04,010 --> 00:14:06,304
We're gonna play
one of our originals, uh...

298
00:14:06,387 --> 00:14:07,680
"Digital Refrigerator."

299
00:14:09,724 --> 00:14:11,684
<i>So when I was in the eighth grade,</i>

300
00:14:11,768 --> 00:14:14,020
I thought they were so good
and they were so cool.

301
00:14:14,395 --> 00:14:16,439
Yeah, back in middle school,
I kinda liked them.

302
00:14:17,899 --> 00:14:20,860
But now I realize they're awful.

303
00:14:26,449 --> 00:14:29,952
<i>They DJ'd a middle school dance
and they played one of their songs.</i>

304
00:14:30,036 --> 00:14:31,956
It was the worst song
I've ever heard in my life.

305
00:14:31,996 --> 00:14:34,499
<i>It made sense why the kids
bullied them about the music.</i>

306
00:14:34,582 --> 00:14:36,000
Uh, it was garbage.

307
00:14:36,459 --> 00:14:38,127
Tanner, would you say, uh...

308
00:14:38,211 --> 00:14:40,880
that Kevin is, you know, bullied?

309
00:14:41,547 --> 00:14:43,883
Kids will often laugh <i>at </i>him

310
00:14:44,342 --> 00:14:45,968
rather than <i>with</i> him sometimes.

311
00:14:46,052 --> 00:14:50,181
In a situation where a student
lashes out at his school,

312
00:14:50,348 --> 00:14:53,017
especially this case where there's
so much planning involved,

313
00:14:53,559 --> 00:14:56,562
we're looking for a student
that's alienated

314
00:14:56,646 --> 00:14:57,939
by the rest of the school.

315
00:14:58,022 --> 00:15:00,358
Kevin fits this profile to a T.

316
00:15:00,441 --> 00:15:02,081
It's tougher to spot bullying these days.

317
00:15:02,443 --> 00:15:03,903
You know, it's much more subtle.

318
00:15:03,986 --> 00:15:06,548
- Hey, Fruit Ninja!
<i>- It used to be right in your face.</i>

319
00:15:06,572 --> 00:15:08,616
<i>Shove you into a locker,
take your lunch money.</i>

320
00:15:08,699 --> 00:15:11,619
<i>But now these kids are going
right up to him with a phone</i>

321
00:15:11,702 --> 00:15:13,413
<i>throwing fruit at him and he,</i>

322
00:15:13,496 --> 00:15:15,498
you know, tries to fight it off.

323
00:15:16,249 --> 00:15:18,918
And then they'll post that video,
share it around, comment,

324
00:15:19,460 --> 00:15:21,379
<i>make fun of him,
tease him behind his back.</i>

325
00:15:21,629 --> 00:15:24,590
- Everyone called him the Fruit Ninja.
- Fruit Ninja!

326
00:15:25,883 --> 00:15:27,009
Fruit Ninja!

327
00:15:27,093 --> 00:15:28,803
You can't throw a watermelon at me.

328
00:15:28,886 --> 00:15:31,139
Matt Hahn made this blog
called <i>Shit Kevin Says.</i>

329
00:15:31,848 --> 00:15:34,308
<i>I got the idea
when Kevin started posting reviews</i>

330
00:15:34,392 --> 00:15:35,893
of teas from around the world.

331
00:15:36,436 --> 00:15:38,729
<i>I was like, "More kids need to see this."</i>

332
00:15:38,813 --> 00:15:39,939
<i>You want to be sure</i>

333
00:15:40,022 --> 00:15:43,609
<i>to suck in quite a bit of air as you taste</i>

334
00:15:43,901 --> 00:15:45,486
<i>so as to create a vapor</i>

335
00:15:45,570 --> 00:15:48,448
<i>that reaches all surfaces of your mouth
for a full experience.</i>

336
00:15:51,075 --> 00:15:52,075
<i>So, Kevin,</i>

337
00:15:52,535 --> 00:15:54,255
he's like one of those guys
who's constantly

338
00:15:54,328 --> 00:15:55,746
doing an impression of a smart guy.

339
00:15:56,330 --> 00:15:57,540
<i>Truly a delight.</i>

340
00:15:57,623 --> 00:15:58,916
<i>It's really cruel stuff.</i>

341
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,877
The kids share his webcam videos,

342
00:16:01,252 --> 00:16:03,171
<i>dress as him for Halloween.</i>

343
00:16:03,254 --> 00:16:04,881
<i>They post all the pictures online.</i>

344
00:16:05,465 --> 00:16:06,716
It's as clear as day.

345
00:16:07,133 --> 00:16:08,133
He's bullied.

346
00:16:08,259 --> 00:16:09,677
In my experience,

347
00:16:09,802 --> 00:16:10,803
what Kevin went through

348
00:16:10,887 --> 00:16:12,513
<i>is exactly the kind of bullying</i>

349
00:16:12,597 --> 00:16:14,557
<i>that would push an adolescent
over the edge.</i>

350
00:16:16,267 --> 00:16:18,728
Did he tell you
that he poisoned the lemonade?

351
00:16:18,811 --> 00:16:20,354
No, he didn't tell me,

352
00:16:20,438 --> 00:16:21,898
but I know he did it.

353
00:16:22,773 --> 00:16:23,649
How?

354
00:16:23,733 --> 00:16:26,319
<i>Well, I was with him
that whole lunch,</i>

355
00:16:26,402 --> 00:16:29,363
<i>and we bought our lunch together
like we always do.</i>

356
00:16:29,447 --> 00:16:31,616
<i>And normally we'd go
right from the cashier</i>

357
00:16:31,699 --> 00:16:33,159
<i>straight to our table,</i>

358
00:16:33,242 --> 00:16:37,163
<i>but that day he goes all the way
around the edge of the cafeteria,</i>

359
00:16:37,246 --> 00:16:38,456
<i>which I thought was odd</i>

360
00:16:38,539 --> 00:16:40,419
<i>'cause he's really particular
about his routine.</i>

361
00:16:40,458 --> 00:16:43,377
<i>Then I saw him bump into Brother Buckley</i>

362
00:16:43,461 --> 00:16:44,670
<i>and spill his lemonade.</i>

363
00:16:44,754 --> 00:16:46,964
<i>I couldn't really hear what was going on,</i>

364
00:16:47,048 --> 00:16:51,177
<i>but it seemed like Kevin was apologizing
for not looking where he was going.</i>

365
00:16:51,260 --> 00:16:53,471
But it didn't look like an accident to me.

366
00:16:53,554 --> 00:16:54,597
You think Kevin...

367
00:16:55,765 --> 00:16:57,892
bumped into Brother Buckley intentionally?

368
00:16:58,559 --> 00:17:00,436
- Yeah.
<i>- </i>Why?

369
00:17:01,187 --> 00:17:02,438
Because Brother Buckley's old.

370
00:17:02,980 --> 00:17:06,609
<i>Like, old people die on the toilet
all the time,</i>

371
00:17:06,692 --> 00:17:10,488
<i>and everybody knows that Brother Buckley's
been having health issues, so...</i>

372
00:17:10,863 --> 00:17:13,241
What was going
to prevent Brother Buckley

373
00:17:13,324 --> 00:17:15,785
- from just getting another lemonade?
- Well, because...

374
00:17:17,245 --> 00:17:18,746
Kevin replaced it for him.

375
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:19,956
He did?

376
00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:22,708
<i>But he didn't get the lemonade,
he got the...</i>

377
00:17:23,084 --> 00:17:24,502
<i>he got the horchata.</i>

378
00:17:25,253 --> 00:17:28,673
<i>And Kevin said that the horchata
is better than lemonade,</i>

379
00:17:29,006 --> 00:17:33,678
<i>and that he wanted to get Buckley a treat</i>

380
00:17:33,761 --> 00:17:36,556
<i>because he felt bad,
but, I mean, I thought that was weird.</i>

381
00:17:38,432 --> 00:17:40,226
<i>The horchata was a big deal to us.</i>

382
00:17:40,935 --> 00:17:43,271
Why buy a horchata to replace a lemonade?

383
00:17:43,354 --> 00:17:45,022
It's $1.25 more.

384
00:17:45,648 --> 00:17:48,401
And who knows if Brother Buckley
even liked horchata?

385
00:17:48,484 --> 00:17:50,736
A lot of people don't. I don't.

386
00:17:51,404 --> 00:17:52,530
Cinnamon and milk?

387
00:17:54,532 --> 00:17:56,617
As soon as Tanner told us
about the horchata,

388
00:17:56,701 --> 00:17:58,160
we knew we were onto something.

389
00:17:58,244 --> 00:17:59,412
Did he seem nervous?

390
00:17:59,495 --> 00:18:02,081
- Did he seem like he was hiding anything?
- Definitely.

391
00:18:02,164 --> 00:18:04,125
I mean, all that day,

392
00:18:04,208 --> 00:18:05,793
before the Brownout.

393
00:18:06,335 --> 00:18:08,254
Um, even the night before.

394
00:18:08,337 --> 00:18:10,631
That's when I noticed it,
is when we went to Dawsey's.

395
00:18:11,632 --> 00:18:12,758
<i>He was driving me home,</i>

396
00:18:12,842 --> 00:18:15,553
<i>and we decided to go to Dawsey's
like we usually do.</i>

397
00:18:15,970 --> 00:18:18,472
And the free samples guy,

398
00:18:19,140 --> 00:18:21,267
he gives us unlimited samples,

399
00:18:21,350 --> 00:18:23,227
<i>but he has no idea that he's doing it.</i>

400
00:18:23,311 --> 00:18:24,520
<i>So Kevin came up with this:</i>

401
00:18:24,604 --> 00:18:26,647
<i>So we'd go up to him and say,
"Hey, man..."</i>

402
00:18:26,731 --> 00:18:28,531
- May I?
<i>- "...can I have a meatball?"</i>

403
00:18:28,608 --> 00:18:31,027
<i>And the guy would say,
"Yeah, sure. Have a meatball."</i>

404
00:18:31,110 --> 00:18:33,112
<i>Then Kevin would go around the aisle</i>

405
00:18:33,195 --> 00:18:35,823
<i>and he'd come back and do some voice.</i>

406
00:18:35,906 --> 00:18:37,199
<i>He'd go, "Hello.</i>

407
00:18:37,825 --> 00:18:40,328
<i>Can I have a meatball?"
And the guy would be like,</i>

408
00:18:40,411 --> 00:18:41,996
<i>"Oh, sure. Have a meatball."</i>

409
00:18:42,288 --> 00:18:43,789
<i>And he has no idea.</i>

410
00:18:43,873 --> 00:18:46,292
<i>One time Kevin ate eight meatballs.</i>

411
00:18:46,375 --> 00:18:48,044
Delectable! Thank you!

412
00:18:48,127 --> 00:18:49,962
<i>That's just what we'd do
at Dawsey's.</i>

413
00:18:50,046 --> 00:18:53,633
We'd dupe this guy
into giving us however many samples.

414
00:18:53,716 --> 00:18:57,928
<i>So... So we get to Dawsey's,
and that's what I think we're gonna do,</i>

415
00:18:58,012 --> 00:18:59,889
<i>just get some free samples.</i>

416
00:19:00,389 --> 00:19:02,266
<i>I walk to the sample station,</i>

417
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,686
<i>and I realized Kevin's not following me.</i>

418
00:19:06,020 --> 00:19:09,398
<i>I don't know where he went. So it's weird.</i>

419
00:19:10,524 --> 00:19:13,527
<i>I got some pigs in a blanket, but..</i>

420
00:19:13,611 --> 00:19:17,615
<i>Kevin's buying something else.
And I just see him walking out of Dawsey's</i>

421
00:19:17,698 --> 00:19:19,325
<i>with a big bag.</i>

422
00:19:19,408 --> 00:19:21,128
<i>- Of samples?
- A huge... No.</i>

423
00:19:21,202 --> 00:19:23,704
<i>A huge bag filled with something,
I don't know what's in there.</i>

424
00:19:23,788 --> 00:19:26,707
<i>What did you think was in there?
- Well, I asked him.</i>

425
00:19:26,791 --> 00:19:28,626
<i>He said, "Nothing." He seemed nervous.</i>

426
00:19:29,418 --> 00:19:31,003
So it was probably the laxatives.

427
00:19:31,087 --> 00:19:34,799
Kevin makes a substantial purchase
at Dawsey's,

428
00:19:34,882 --> 00:19:38,427
<i>and your best friend asks you,
"What's in the bag?"</i>

429
00:19:38,844 --> 00:19:40,388
and you refuse to tell him.

430
00:19:40,471 --> 00:19:42,973
Did you see him bring the Dawsey's bag
to school the next day?

431
00:19:43,057 --> 00:19:44,392
No, it's just...

432
00:19:45,476 --> 00:19:47,645
But he could've hid it
in his backpack, right?

433
00:19:51,857 --> 00:19:54,694
Anything else you can remember
from the day of the Brownout?

434
00:19:54,777 --> 00:19:58,114
Anything that was sort of unusual
or out of the ordinary...?

435
00:19:58,197 --> 00:19:59,198
Yeah, just...

436
00:20:00,574 --> 00:20:03,202
Remember I was telling you
that we always sit at the same table?

437
00:20:04,245 --> 00:20:05,496
Well, that day...

438
00:20:06,956 --> 00:20:08,624
Kevin chose a different lunch table.

439
00:20:10,042 --> 00:20:12,545
<i>Very early into that lunch,
I knew something was off.</i>

440
00:20:13,254 --> 00:20:17,216
I just noticed some people weren't
where they were supposed to be.

441
00:20:17,299 --> 00:20:21,971
So, I remember seeing Shaun Sacoda
sitting next to Declan Maniscalo,

442
00:20:22,054 --> 00:20:23,097
<i>and the lacrosse guys,</i>

443
00:20:23,180 --> 00:20:25,020
<i>the one with the "Runner Boy"
at the end of it,</i>

444
00:20:25,057 --> 00:20:29,353
<i>which is weird, because Sean usually sits
with Nick Sondergoth and those guys.</i>

445
00:20:29,437 --> 00:20:30,604
<i>Usually Declan does, too.</i>

446
00:20:31,147 --> 00:20:33,691
So then I look to Nick, and I realize

447
00:20:33,774 --> 00:20:36,360
<i>that Dec and Sacoda
aren't sitting with Nick Sondergoth</i>

448
00:20:36,444 --> 00:20:38,446
<i>or Lissa Brasington and Monty Calamaway,</i>

449
00:20:38,529 --> 00:20:39,989
<i>because sitting next to Nick</i>

450
00:20:40,072 --> 00:20:42,116
<i>is Tanner Bassett and Kevin McClain.</i>

451
00:20:42,199 --> 00:20:44,201
And I don't think it was random.

452
00:20:44,869 --> 00:20:45,703
Why?

453
00:20:45,786 --> 00:20:48,831
Because he was sitting across
from Nick Sondergoth.

454
00:20:49,957 --> 00:20:50,957
<i>Okay.</i>

455
00:20:51,417 --> 00:20:53,836
I'm sorry, who is Nick Sondergoth?

456
00:20:53,919 --> 00:20:56,255
Nick is somebody that Kevin's hated
since the sixth grade.

457
00:20:56,881 --> 00:20:57,881
Why?

458
00:20:58,299 --> 00:21:00,342
<i>Because he ruined Kevin's life.</i>

459
00:21:03,053 --> 00:21:04,597
<i>Kevin was just the nicest kid.</i>

460
00:21:05,389 --> 00:21:07,641
<i>I moved to Bellevue
when I was in the fourth grade,</i>

461
00:21:07,725 --> 00:21:10,644
<i>so I didn't know anybody
and I was really shy.</i>

462
00:21:10,728 --> 00:21:13,564
<i>So I was really lucky to find Kevin.</i>

463
00:21:14,023 --> 00:21:15,983
<i>And I know it sounds weird to say</i>

464
00:21:16,066 --> 00:21:18,652
<i>that someone was popular in fourth grade,</i>

465
00:21:18,736 --> 00:21:20,696
but Kevin was just...

466
00:21:21,363 --> 00:21:23,491
kind of a kid that everyone really liked.

467
00:21:23,574 --> 00:21:25,117
<i>Kevin wasn't always weird.</i>

468
00:21:25,785 --> 00:21:27,495
Back then he was just a normal kid.

469
00:21:27,578 --> 00:21:29,705
It just really sucks what happened to him.

470
00:21:32,333 --> 00:21:35,503
Before St. Bernie, a lot of kids
went to St. Damascus Elementary.

471
00:21:36,253 --> 00:21:38,422
<i>I was in that gym class with Kevin.</i>

472
00:21:38,506 --> 00:21:39,840
I remember it pretty clearly.

473
00:21:39,924 --> 00:21:42,051
Back then, we all wore
the same gym shorts.

474
00:21:42,134 --> 00:21:43,511
They were light blue.

475
00:21:43,594 --> 00:21:46,639
<i>The kind that would easily get
a grass stain or a dirt mark.</i>

476
00:21:47,306 --> 00:21:49,058
Kevin sucked at Capture the Flag,

477
00:21:49,141 --> 00:21:51,811
<i>so he gets tagged out, like, immediately.</i>

478
00:21:52,937 --> 00:21:54,355
<i>Kevin's sitting in jail</i>

479
00:21:54,438 --> 00:21:56,148
<i>and someone made a jailbreak.</i>

480
00:21:56,732 --> 00:21:58,192
I think was Adam Kimbrough.

481
00:21:59,193 --> 00:22:01,612
<i>He tags Kevin free and Kevin gets up.</i>

482
00:22:02,446 --> 00:22:05,199
<i>He's got this stain on his shorts,</i>

483
00:22:05,658 --> 00:22:06,784
right on his butt.

484
00:22:06,867 --> 00:22:09,495
Kevin said was dirt,
but nobody was buying it.

485
00:22:10,079 --> 00:22:12,289
It really looked like he shit his pants.

486
00:22:13,457 --> 00:22:16,168
<i>It was funny,
but that was kind of it.</i>

487
00:22:16,669 --> 00:22:19,171
Gym class ended
and everyone forgot about it.

488
00:22:19,588 --> 00:22:20,673
Until the next morning.

489
00:22:21,048 --> 00:22:23,634
<i>Apparently, Nick Sondergoth
took a picture of Kevin</i>

490
00:22:23,717 --> 00:22:26,262
<i>while we were in gym class
and posted it the next day.</i>

491
00:22:26,887 --> 00:22:28,055
The caption for that picture

492
00:22:28,556 --> 00:22:30,140
<i>was "Shit Stain McClain."</i>

493
00:22:30,224 --> 00:22:33,060
He became Shit Stain McClain.

494
00:22:35,062 --> 00:22:36,689
I mean, kids can be really cruel.

495
00:22:37,189 --> 00:22:38,774
Hey, Shit Stain McClain!

496
00:22:40,067 --> 00:22:41,068
<i>That name,</i>

497
00:22:41,527 --> 00:22:42,945
"Shit Stain McClain,"

498
00:22:43,571 --> 00:22:46,323
it destroyed Kevin.
It was really bad for him.

499
00:22:47,074 --> 00:22:49,118
<i>And it was huge for Nick Sondergoth.</i>

500
00:22:50,452 --> 00:22:53,247
Kevin was cool.
Like, he had friends before that.

501
00:22:53,998 --> 00:22:56,876
<i>He went from a 35-person
birthday party in the fifth grade...</i>

502
00:22:59,169 --> 00:23:02,506
<i>...to, like, a three-person birthday party
in the sixth.</i>

503
00:23:02,590 --> 00:23:04,925
After that, he created this
sort of persona

504
00:23:05,009 --> 00:23:07,678
where he had to be the smartest person
in the room all the time.

505
00:23:07,970 --> 00:23:11,223
There was a month in 8th grade
where he just spoke in a British accent

506
00:23:11,307 --> 00:23:12,349
<i>for no reason.</i>

507
00:23:12,433 --> 00:23:13,893
<i>I felt sorry for the kid.</i>

508
00:23:14,685 --> 00:23:17,897
<i>You know, imagine going through
all those years of bullying</i>

509
00:23:19,398 --> 00:23:20,983
just because of one mistake.

510
00:23:51,055 --> 00:23:52,556
Kevin. Have a seat.

511
00:23:55,476 --> 00:23:56,518
Much obliged.

512
00:24:10,950 --> 00:24:12,868
<i>Monday, November 6th.</i>

513
00:24:13,661 --> 00:24:15,746
Do you remember what happened on that day?

514
00:24:19,124 --> 00:24:20,042
Kevin...

515
00:24:20,125 --> 00:24:23,212
I'm sorry,
I thought that was a rhetorical question.

516
00:24:24,755 --> 00:24:25,755
Let's just say,

517
00:24:26,256 --> 00:24:27,633
for the rest of this interview,

518
00:24:27,716 --> 00:24:30,052
there will be no rhetorical questions,
okay?

519
00:24:31,845 --> 00:24:33,013
Was that a question?

520
00:24:33,847 --> 00:24:36,892
Kevin's got a wall up,
which is totally normal for...

521
00:24:37,559 --> 00:24:40,938
for an adolescent, uh,
especially one with deep-seated issues.

522
00:24:41,021 --> 00:24:44,358
Can you please tell me why you think
we called you down here today?

523
00:24:45,567 --> 00:24:47,945
Well, I assume
it must have something to do

524
00:24:48,028 --> 00:24:50,239
with this turd burglarizing.

525
00:24:50,322 --> 00:24:53,450
No one comes right out and confesses.
That's just not how it works.

526
00:24:53,534 --> 00:24:55,077
Unfortunately, I know nothing,

527
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,622
nor do I understand the juvenile nature
of these crimes.

528
00:24:59,581 --> 00:25:00,916
<i>November 6th.</i>

529
00:25:01,125 --> 00:25:02,793
<i>What were you doing during that lunch?</i>

530
00:25:04,044 --> 00:25:07,756
Would it surprise you if I said
that during lunch,

531
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,300
I was at lunch?

532
00:25:10,384 --> 00:25:12,219
He's not just gonna admit it,

533
00:25:12,886 --> 00:25:16,015
so we know it's all about
how we present the evidence.

534
00:25:16,098 --> 00:25:19,059
For hours, he was giving us nothing
but confusing answers.

535
00:25:19,143 --> 00:25:21,020
Because I didn't. Declarative.

536
00:25:21,437 --> 00:25:23,397
Period. Sentence dot.

537
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:24,940
I don't recall,

538
00:25:25,315 --> 00:25:27,609
recollect, remember.

539
00:25:27,693 --> 00:25:30,154
Where were you
when the fire drill went off?

540
00:25:30,237 --> 00:25:32,489
But when we asked him where he was
during the fire drill,

541
00:25:33,032 --> 00:25:34,283
he immediately replies...

542
00:25:34,366 --> 00:25:38,537
I was on the baseball field
in my designated safety zone.

543
00:25:38,620 --> 00:25:39,700
<i>"The baseball field."</i>

544
00:25:40,873 --> 00:25:43,375
He knew he had to be accounted for
during the fire alarm.

545
00:25:43,459 --> 00:25:45,794
<i>All the food and beverages
are kept in this room</i>

546
00:25:45,878 --> 00:25:47,629
<i>behind the kitchen cafeteria,</i>

547
00:25:47,713 --> 00:25:50,966
<i>and if you sneak through the back door,
it's going to set off a buzzer alarm.</i>

548
00:25:51,050 --> 00:25:53,594
The only thing that's going to be
louder than a buzzer alarm

549
00:25:53,927 --> 00:25:55,304
<i>is a fire alarm.</i>

550
00:25:55,387 --> 00:25:57,473
To us it was clear
that during the fire alarm,

551
00:25:57,556 --> 00:25:59,596
that's when Kevin put the laxatives
in the lemonade.

552
00:25:59,850 --> 00:26:01,852
<i>So, let's talk about the laxatives.</i>

553
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:03,520
<i>The night of November 5th,</i>

554
00:26:03,687 --> 00:26:04,772
<i>you went to Dawsey's.</i>

555
00:26:04,855 --> 00:26:08,567
Listen, I had no reason to go to Dawsey's.

556
00:26:10,069 --> 00:26:12,112
That's not what your best friend said.

557
00:26:12,821 --> 00:26:15,282
- And who might that be?
- Tanner Bassett.

558
00:26:18,494 --> 00:26:19,828
He told us everything.

559
00:26:21,288 --> 00:26:24,416
<i>You changed seats, Kevin. Why?</i>

560
00:26:24,500 --> 00:26:27,211
I don't know. For a change of scenery?

561
00:26:28,420 --> 00:26:32,132
A change of scenery that brings you
next to Nick Sondergoth?

562
00:26:32,841 --> 00:26:35,302
Yes, next to Nick Sondergoth.

563
00:26:35,928 --> 00:26:38,847
And did you enjoy watching Nick Sondergoth
poop his pants?

564
00:26:39,056 --> 00:26:41,850
Kevin, let's go back
to Shit Stain McClain.

565
00:26:43,310 --> 00:26:44,728
Did you like that nickname?

566
00:26:46,105 --> 00:26:46,939
No.

567
00:26:47,022 --> 00:26:49,483
Because you've been hearing it
since sixth grade.

568
00:26:50,275 --> 00:26:53,070
"Shit Stain McClain."

569
00:26:53,153 --> 00:26:56,365
<i>The school is pressing charges,</i>

570
00:26:56,448 --> 00:26:59,993
but I can tell you that the judge
is going to be a lot more lenient

571
00:27:00,327 --> 00:27:01,703
if you're honest with us.

572
00:27:01,787 --> 00:27:04,748
What you have to remember
is that we're dealing with a 17-year-old.

573
00:27:04,832 --> 00:27:05,707
He's a kid.

574
00:27:05,791 --> 00:27:08,085
We'll tell the judge that.
We'll tell him you just...

575
00:27:08,752 --> 00:27:12,131
you know, got bullied
and you were trying to get back at those

576
00:27:12,214 --> 00:27:15,134
that we're treating you unfairly,
it just got a little out of hand.

577
00:27:15,217 --> 00:27:17,386
Of course, he's gonna get emotional
about all of this,

578
00:27:17,469 --> 00:27:19,721
but he finally has to face the truth.

579
00:27:19,805 --> 00:27:22,182
Kevin, here's the thing.
We know you did it.

580
00:27:22,558 --> 00:27:25,102
There's a mountain of evidence
against him.

581
00:27:25,185 --> 00:27:26,520
<i>You got the horchata,</i>

582
00:27:26,979 --> 00:27:30,190
<i>you've got the going to Dawsey's
the night before,</i>

583
00:27:30,607 --> 00:27:33,402
<i>and Throwback Thursday Shit Stain McClain.</i>

584
00:27:33,944 --> 00:27:35,946
<i>So, we gave him a break</i>

585
00:27:36,029 --> 00:27:37,614
to collect himself,

586
00:27:37,698 --> 00:27:39,908
he came back in the room
and he started talking.

587
00:27:41,827 --> 00:27:45,205
- <i>What do you want me to say?</i>
- We want you to tell us the truth, Kevin.

588
00:27:48,834 --> 00:27:52,004
You spilled Brother Buckley's lemonade
on purpose,

589
00:27:52,087 --> 00:27:53,087
didn't you?

590
00:27:57,843 --> 00:27:59,720
- Yeah.
- Why?

591
00:28:00,345 --> 00:28:04,141
Because I didn't want him to poop himself.

592
00:28:04,975 --> 00:28:07,519
I didn't think his body could take it.

593
00:28:08,020 --> 00:28:10,814
Because you knew the lemonade was tainted.

594
00:28:12,357 --> 00:28:13,567
Yes.

595
00:28:13,650 --> 00:28:15,861
And how did you know
the lemonade was tainted?

596
00:28:16,236 --> 00:28:18,447
I was the one who did it.

597
00:28:19,156 --> 00:28:20,156
Because...

598
00:28:20,657 --> 00:28:22,701
you put the laxatives in the lemonade.

599
00:28:24,036 --> 00:28:25,036
Yeah.

600
00:28:27,664 --> 00:28:29,166
And what else did you do?

601
00:28:33,712 --> 00:28:34,712
I...

602
00:28:35,422 --> 00:28:36,924
did the thing...

603
00:28:37,007 --> 00:28:38,342
at the pep rally.

604
00:28:39,551 --> 00:28:40,551
And...

605
00:28:42,346 --> 00:28:45,432
And the thing in Ms. Montgomery's class.

606
00:28:48,518 --> 00:28:49,518
Kevin,

607
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,439
are you the Turd Burglar?

608
00:28:57,653 --> 00:28:58,653
Yes.

609
00:29:09,373 --> 00:29:11,458
<i>Kevin McClain confessed.</i>

610
00:29:12,125 --> 00:29:13,669
<i>And not just to the Brownout.</i>

611
00:29:13,752 --> 00:29:16,505
I mean, the Brownout was bad,
but then he hit us again.

612
00:29:18,423 --> 00:29:19,424
And again.

613
00:29:19,508 --> 00:29:21,260
Oh, my God!

614
00:29:21,343 --> 00:29:22,719
After three crimes,

615
00:29:22,803 --> 00:29:24,721
I was starting to think he may never stop.

616
00:29:25,180 --> 00:29:27,599
<i>The Turd Burglar
committed three crimes</i>

617
00:29:27,683 --> 00:29:29,559
<i>over the course of eight days.</i>

618
00:29:29,935 --> 00:29:32,813
<i>And Kevin confessed to all of them.</i>

619
00:29:33,730 --> 00:29:36,024
<i>He confessed to being the Turd Burglar.</i>

620
00:29:36,108 --> 00:29:37,651
You did all three crimes.

621
00:29:38,527 --> 00:29:40,404
<i>A serial vandal.</i>

622
00:29:40,487 --> 00:29:41,487
Yes.

623
00:29:59,965 --> 00:30:03,176
Bless us, oh Lord, for these thy gifts
which we are about to receive

624
00:30:03,260 --> 00:30:06,263
from thy bounty
through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

625
00:30:06,346 --> 00:30:07,346
Amen.

626
00:30:08,307 --> 00:30:09,308
Amen!

627
00:30:09,558 --> 00:30:13,228
<i>My name is Patricia McClain.
I'm Kevin's grandmother,</i>

628
00:30:13,645 --> 00:30:16,273
<i>so I know him better than anyone.</i>

629
00:30:16,940 --> 00:30:20,736
<i>He's a funny kid, very perceptive.</i>

630
00:30:21,445 --> 00:30:23,739
If there's something that's not right,

631
00:30:23,822 --> 00:30:26,658
like the temperature of his food, or...

632
00:30:26,742 --> 00:30:29,286
or the way you fold his laundry,

633
00:30:29,369 --> 00:30:31,872
<i>oh, he'll let you know about it.</i>

634
00:30:32,873 --> 00:30:35,250
<i>When I first heard of what they were
accusing him of...</i>

635
00:30:35,334 --> 00:30:38,754
Forty innocent kids pooped in their pants.

636
00:30:38,837 --> 00:30:41,465
I just said, "No way."
I couldn't believe it.

637
00:30:41,548 --> 00:30:43,759
Do you have a grudge
against Nick Sondergoth?

638
00:30:43,842 --> 00:30:46,636
I know that he is innocent.

639
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,805
<i>You don't like your classmates,
do you, Kevin?</i>

640
00:30:48,889 --> 00:30:50,867
- Fruit Ninja!
- You can't throw a watermelon at me.

641
00:30:50,891 --> 00:30:52,142
You kind of resent them.

642
00:30:52,225 --> 00:30:53,435
Fruit Ninja!

643
00:30:53,518 --> 00:30:56,813
There was no way that he would make
his fellow classmates

644
00:30:57,064 --> 00:30:58,190
poop their pants.

645
00:30:58,273 --> 00:31:01,318
People making fun of my shit stain?
I'd make them shit their pants too.

646
00:31:02,444 --> 00:31:03,862
You think poop is funny?!

647
00:31:03,945 --> 00:31:07,407
If that's what they're saying,
that he poisoned the lemonade...

648
00:31:07,991 --> 00:31:11,119
You put the laxatives in the lemonade.

649
00:31:11,203 --> 00:31:15,290
...that he caused his fellow students
to defecate uncontrollably...

650
00:31:15,957 --> 00:31:17,751
"Look, there's Shit Stain McClain!"

651
00:31:17,834 --> 00:31:19,211
Hey, Shit Stain McClain!

652
00:31:19,294 --> 00:31:20,754
...then let me ask you this.

653
00:31:20,837 --> 00:31:23,840
You did the Brownout,
you did all three crimes.

654
00:31:25,592 --> 00:31:28,970
Why did Kevin poop his own pants?
