00:01:45,806 --> 00:01:47,072
LUCE:
So even though
7
00:01:47,074 --> 00:01:48,907
it appears as if
an evening like this
8
00:01:48,909 --> 00:01:51,276
is meant to honor us
for our academic achievements,
9
00:01:51,278 --> 00:01:54,079
I instead ask
my fellow classmates
10
00:01:54,081 --> 00:01:56,281
to honor the generals
that lead us.
11
00:01:56,283 --> 00:01:58,717
Without our parents
and our teachers,
12
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:00,919
we would be troops
unprepared for the battles
13
00:02:00,921 --> 00:02:02,821
that lay ahead of us.
14
00:02:03,824 --> 00:02:05,991
We know the road won't be easy.
15
00:02:07,394 --> 00:02:09,828
But with your love
and your faith,
16
00:02:09,830 --> 00:02:11,697
we can be certain
we'll find a way.
17
00:02:13,167 --> 00:02:15,334
So I hope it's not going
too far out of line
18
00:02:15,336 --> 00:02:17,236
to ask my classmates to rise...
19
00:02:18,806 --> 00:02:23,142
and to take this opportunity
to thank you...
20
00:02:23,144 --> 00:02:25,444
our teachers...
21
00:02:25,446 --> 00:02:27,146
and our parents...
22
00:02:27,148 --> 00:02:30,516
for helping us become
who we're meant to be.
23
00:02:30,518 --> 00:02:36,989
[applause]
24
00:02:42,863 --> 00:02:45,464
I hope you enjoyed that
because tomorrow
25
00:02:45,466 --> 00:02:47,199
we'll be back
to driving you crazy.
26
00:02:47,201 --> 00:02:49,568
[laughter]
27
00:02:50,471 --> 00:02:51,937
It was incredible.
28
00:02:51,939 --> 00:02:54,139
Here's my question:
How do we clone this guy?
29
00:02:54,141 --> 00:02:56,175
[laughter]
How do we clone him?
30
00:02:56,177 --> 00:02:57,276
Great job.
31
00:02:57,278 --> 00:02:59,011
Thank you.
WOMAN: Excuse me.
32
00:02:59,013 --> 00:03:01,046
Mr. and Mr. Edgar?
LUCE: Ms. Wilson!
33
00:03:01,048 --> 00:03:02,514
Guys, this is Ms. Wilson,
34
00:03:02,516 --> 00:03:04,183
my history
and government teacher.
35
00:03:04,185 --> 00:03:05,551
A pleasure.
36
00:03:05,553 --> 00:03:07,052
We've heard
so much about you.
37
00:03:07,054 --> 00:03:08,954
Have you?
Well, your class.
38
00:03:08,956 --> 00:03:10,822
Luce can't stop
talking about it.
39
00:03:10,824 --> 00:03:12,457
Is that so?
40
00:03:12,459 --> 00:03:15,060
Ms. Wilson's tough,
but still one of my favorites.
41
00:03:15,062 --> 00:03:16,228
Did you like my speech?
42
00:03:16,230 --> 00:03:17,362
I did.
43
00:03:17,364 --> 00:03:18,830
Ms. Wilson's
always saying
44
00:03:18,832 --> 00:03:20,899
we should speak our minds
no matter the cost.
45
00:03:20,901 --> 00:03:22,801
Amen to that.
46
00:03:22,803 --> 00:03:24,836
Well, it's great
to finally meet you.
47
00:03:24,838 --> 00:03:26,972
You too.
48
00:03:26,974 --> 00:03:29,208
Luce is, uh, one of our best.
49
00:03:29,210 --> 00:03:31,677
He's an important
example to the school.
50
00:03:31,679 --> 00:03:32,844
We're very
proud of him.
51
00:03:32,846 --> 00:03:34,346
You should be.
52
00:03:34,348 --> 00:03:35,314
[Amy chuckles]
53
00:03:37,151 --> 00:03:39,084
Excuse me. Dan...
54
00:03:40,888 --> 00:03:42,821
LUCE:
I don't want
to give another one.
55
00:03:42,823 --> 00:03:45,224
Why? It makes sense
they asked you.
56
00:03:45,226 --> 00:03:46,558
You did
a great job.
57
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,427
I literally just
gave a speech.
58
00:03:48,429 --> 00:03:50,329
The more public
speaking you do,
59
00:03:50,331 --> 00:03:51,964
the better it'll look
for college.
60
00:03:53,234 --> 00:03:54,833
You told them you'd do it,
right?
61
00:03:56,503 --> 00:03:58,103
What do you think?
62
00:03:58,105 --> 00:03:59,171
[Amy chuckles]
63
00:04:00,374 --> 00:04:02,107
So Ms. Wilson seems nice.
64
00:04:03,177 --> 00:04:05,010
Stern...
65
00:04:05,012 --> 00:04:07,012
Don't you mean a bitch?
Peter!
66
00:04:07,014 --> 00:04:09,948
When people say stern, they
mean bitch. You meant bitch.
67
00:04:09,950 --> 00:04:11,850
You didn't want to say bitch
No, I said stern.
68
00:04:11,852 --> 00:04:14,219
because you didn't want
to be politically incorrect
69
00:04:14,221 --> 00:04:15,887
but you meant bitch.
No.
70
00:04:15,889 --> 00:04:17,789
I know what stern
means, thank you.
71
00:04:17,791 --> 00:04:19,057
She is a bitch though.
72
00:04:19,059 --> 00:04:20,425
AMY:
Can we not denigrate a woman
73
00:04:20,427 --> 00:04:22,427
who probably had
to assume characteristics
74
00:04:22,429 --> 00:04:24,396
[snores]
[laughing] in order to attain
75
00:04:24,398 --> 00:04:27,132
a leadership role?
76
00:04:27,134 --> 00:04:29,801
Anyway, I thought you said
it was your favorite class.
77
00:04:29,803 --> 00:04:32,537
I like the subject.
He liked the subject.
78
00:04:32,539 --> 00:04:35,307
In spite of
the bitch thing.
79
00:04:35,309 --> 00:04:38,644
Okay, it's fine to
criticize powerful women.
80
00:04:38,646 --> 00:04:41,813
Just don't use
the sexist language.
81
00:04:41,815 --> 00:04:43,715
Strung together copy.
82
00:04:45,085 --> 00:04:47,552
PETER: Oh! Nice!
[Amy clicks tongue]
83
00:04:47,554 --> 00:04:50,055
[Luce laughs]
84
00:04:53,594 --> 00:04:56,628
[pop music blaring
from headphones]
85
00:04:59,967 --> 00:05:01,900
[keyboard clacking]
86
00:05:02,970 --> 00:05:04,136
[knocking at door]
87
00:05:08,075 --> 00:05:10,242
You should make it
personal.
88
00:05:10,244 --> 00:05:11,677
What?
89
00:05:11,679 --> 00:05:13,278
The next speech
they want you to give,
90
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:14,479
make it about you.
91
00:05:16,250 --> 00:05:17,683
Okay. [chuckles]
92
00:05:19,253 --> 00:05:20,485
And listen...
93
00:05:22,690 --> 00:05:24,756
You're a really good
public speaker
94
00:05:24,758 --> 00:05:27,192
and you're an
excellent debater.
95
00:05:27,194 --> 00:05:28,994
But you have
your own story to tell
96
00:05:28,996 --> 00:05:30,495
and I think
you should tell it.
97
00:05:30,497 --> 00:05:32,864
It gives people
something to grab onto.
98
00:05:34,668 --> 00:05:36,335
Am I overstepping?
99
00:05:37,838 --> 00:05:39,604
It's good advice.
[chuckles]
100
00:05:40,474 --> 00:05:41,773
Just want to be helpful.
101
00:05:41,775 --> 00:05:42,741
You are.
102
00:05:44,945 --> 00:05:46,611
I'm going to get
back to work now.
103
00:05:48,649 --> 00:05:49,681
Okay.
104
00:05:52,486 --> 00:05:53,952
[both chuckle awkwardly]
105
00:05:55,789 --> 00:05:57,556
Sorry for interrupting.
106
00:05:58,726 --> 00:06:03,729
[indistinct conversations]
107
00:06:03,731 --> 00:06:05,897
[school bell rings]
108
00:06:12,005 --> 00:06:13,338
[sighs]
ORLICKI: Whoa!
109
00:06:13,340 --> 00:06:14,973
You're gonna lose
a limb like that.
110
00:06:14,975 --> 00:06:16,641
See my trig textbook?
I stashed it here yesterday.
111
00:06:16,643 --> 00:06:18,543
No, it's not here, Orlicki.
112
00:06:18,545 --> 00:06:19,911
Fuck me.
You do realize
113
00:06:19,913 --> 00:06:21,580
everyone gets their
own locker, right?
114
00:06:21,582 --> 00:06:23,148
Mine's on the other
side of the building,
115
00:06:23,150 --> 00:06:26,585
makes me late all the time.
Ah, shit! Orlicki!
116
00:06:26,587 --> 00:06:29,721
Heard our boy here got asked to
give another speech last night?
117
00:06:29,723 --> 00:06:31,490
Seriously?
Oh, motherfucking
118
00:06:31,492 --> 00:06:33,392
Nelson Mandela over here!
119
00:06:33,394 --> 00:06:35,026
I don't get why
I never get asked.
120
00:06:35,028 --> 00:06:36,528
'cause you're a C+ student.
121
00:06:36,530 --> 00:06:38,830
The entire speech would be
about porn and blunts.
122
00:06:38,832 --> 00:06:40,399
ORLICKI: Ah! Fair enough.
123
00:06:40,401 --> 00:06:42,234
BOTH: [in rhythm]
Ah! Ah! Ah!
124
00:06:42,236 --> 00:06:44,503
Oh, shit! Check it out!
125
00:06:44,505 --> 00:06:45,771
Hey, yo, ladies!
126
00:06:45,773 --> 00:06:48,340
Stephanie Kim, what's good?
Let's go.
127
00:06:49,576 --> 00:06:51,343
Why you staring at Luce,
Stephanie?
128
00:06:51,345 --> 00:06:52,544
I'm talking to you.
129
00:06:52,546 --> 00:06:54,212
Not everyone likes
your big mouth.
130
00:06:54,214 --> 00:06:55,447
Your mama does.
131
00:06:55,449 --> 00:06:56,848
She loves my big mouth.
132
00:06:56,850 --> 00:06:58,550
Loves it all
over that pussy!
133
00:06:58,552 --> 00:07:00,852
Man, you're so gross!
134
00:07:00,854 --> 00:07:02,554
Sorry, bro.
135
00:07:02,556 --> 00:07:04,589
Hey yo, I'll see you
all at practice.
136
00:07:04,591 --> 00:07:07,292
[indistinct voice from video]
137
00:07:07,294 --> 00:07:09,461
FEMALE STUDENT:
A law is a law.
138
00:07:09,463 --> 00:07:11,696
Pole-tests used to be law.
139
00:07:11,698 --> 00:07:13,732
So was segregation.
Red lining.
140
00:07:13,734 --> 00:07:15,467
FEMALE STUDENT:
That's not the same.
141
00:07:15,469 --> 00:07:17,035
Explain why.
142
00:07:17,037 --> 00:07:18,470
FEMALE STUDENT:
It's just not.
143
00:07:18,472 --> 00:07:20,071
Things were
different back then.
144
00:07:20,073 --> 00:07:21,373
Different how?
145
00:07:21,375 --> 00:07:23,542
Well, like that was
a different time.
146
00:07:23,544 --> 00:07:24,943
Social norms were different.
147
00:07:24,945 --> 00:07:26,478
People's expectations,
148
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:27,779
their attitudes...
149
00:07:34,455 --> 00:07:36,455
MS. WILSON:
Is this not important to you?
150
00:07:38,659 --> 00:07:39,658
Well?
151
00:07:40,494 --> 00:07:41,827
It is.
152
00:07:41,829 --> 00:07:43,962
You might want
to speak more clearly.
153
00:07:43,964 --> 00:07:45,063
I can't hear you.
154
00:07:46,834 --> 00:07:48,467
It is.
155
00:07:48,469 --> 00:07:51,736
Keep in mind,
that for her,
156
00:07:51,738 --> 00:07:53,772
this knowledge is
incidental but for you
157
00:07:53,774 --> 00:07:55,407
it can be
life or death.
158
00:07:55,409 --> 00:07:58,243
So you might want
to treat this material
159
00:07:58,245 --> 00:08:01,179
with the seriousness
it deserves, Mr. Meeks.
160
00:08:09,790 --> 00:08:13,625
Which reminds me,
I'm almost done
161
00:08:13,627 --> 00:08:15,694
grading your assignments.
I apologize,
162
00:08:15,696 --> 00:08:17,796
it's taking me a little
longer than usual but,
163
00:08:17,798 --> 00:08:19,130
you'll have them
back soon.
164
00:08:19,132 --> 00:08:21,500
[¶¶¶]
165
00:08:21,502 --> 00:08:23,969
All right...
[school bell rings]
166
00:08:23,971 --> 00:08:25,337
LUCE: Yo, Deshaun...
167
00:08:27,474 --> 00:08:29,040
Yo, Deshaun!
168
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,687
Let's have a look in here.
Okay...
169
00:08:44,391 --> 00:08:46,825
Let's see...
He-he! That feels funny!
170
00:08:46,827 --> 00:08:48,226
Oh yeah?
171
00:08:48,228 --> 00:08:49,494
What about that?
[laughs]
172
00:08:49,496 --> 00:08:51,696
Does that feel funny?
[laughs]
173
00:08:51,698 --> 00:08:53,665
Hey.
174
00:08:53,667 --> 00:08:56,334
How do you feel about
a weekend trip to Cornell?
175
00:08:56,336 --> 00:08:58,036
PETER: This weekend?
Yeah.
176
00:08:58,038 --> 00:09:01,139
Maggie's sister said she'd make
a call and get Luce some
177
00:09:01,141 --> 00:09:03,074
one-on-one time with the professor.
178
00:09:03,076 --> 00:09:07,178
This weekend we have
the sip-and-see.
179
00:09:07,180 --> 00:09:09,514
Oh my God!
PETER: If you don't want to go,
180
00:09:09,516 --> 00:09:11,216
you should have said, right?
181
00:09:11,218 --> 00:09:14,252
Yeah, well, it's not that
I don't want to go. I mean,
182
00:09:14,254 --> 00:09:16,988
I don't want to go, but--
No, you just hate babies.
183
00:09:16,990 --> 00:09:18,523
AMY:
I do not hate babies.
184
00:09:18,525 --> 00:09:20,559
PETER:
I mean, I love babies!
185
00:09:20,561 --> 00:09:21,927
But you hate babies.
186
00:09:21,929 --> 00:09:24,930
Well, I'm just shocked
you're prioritizing
187
00:09:24,932 --> 00:09:28,033
your ex's sip-and-see over
your son's college education,
188
00:09:28,035 --> 00:09:29,434
but hey, that's just me.
189
00:09:29,436 --> 00:09:31,570
PETER:
Okay. Punchline and point made.
190
00:09:31,572 --> 00:09:33,104
[laughs]
191
00:09:33,106 --> 00:09:35,206
Okay, fine.
You're in charge of picking up
192
00:09:35,208 --> 00:09:37,876
whatever someone brings
to a sip-and-see.
193
00:09:37,878 --> 00:09:39,945
Got it. Okay,
see you at home.
194
00:09:39,947 --> 00:09:40,946
AMY:
See ya.
195
00:09:42,916 --> 00:09:46,518
[phone ringing]
196
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:47,485
Hello?
197
00:09:49,256 --> 00:09:50,355
Yes, this is Amy.
198
00:09:52,459 --> 00:09:53,458
MAN:
On your mark...
199
00:09:54,561 --> 00:09:55,560
Set...
200
00:09:55,562 --> 00:09:56,561
Go!
[gunshot]
201
00:09:56,563 --> 00:09:59,097
[hip hop beat]
202
00:09:59,099 --> 00:10:01,833
[cheering]
203
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,647
[cheerleaders shout in rhythm]
204
00:10:18,151 --> 00:10:20,385
[panting]
205
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,026
Yo!
206
00:10:30,964 --> 00:10:33,031
Mrs. Edgar.
Hi.
207
00:10:34,468 --> 00:10:36,601
I appreciate you coming
back down here.
208
00:10:36,603 --> 00:10:39,070
Well, you have to make time
for what's important.
209
00:10:39,072 --> 00:10:40,338
Ain't that
the truth.
210
00:10:40,340 --> 00:10:43,274
Kids are lucky to have you.
Thank you.
211
00:10:43,276 --> 00:10:46,144
Luce too.
Oh, we're lucky to have him.
212
00:10:46,146 --> 00:10:48,913
We care a great deal
about his success.
213
00:10:48,915 --> 00:10:51,616
Peter and I too.
Of course.
214
00:10:51,618 --> 00:10:54,419
And I know
context matters.
215
00:10:54,421 --> 00:10:55,553
Please, sit.
216
00:10:56,923 --> 00:10:59,357
Given Luce's
background,
217
00:10:59,359 --> 00:11:02,961
you and Peter must have faced
quite a few challenges.
218
00:11:02,963 --> 00:11:04,963
the language barrier,
the culture shock.
219
00:11:04,965 --> 00:11:06,264
He's a resilient kid.
220
00:11:06,266 --> 00:11:08,133
He is.
But it's also
221
00:11:08,135 --> 00:11:09,601
a testament to
your parenting.
222
00:11:09,603 --> 00:11:11,703
Well, thank you.
223
00:11:11,705 --> 00:11:13,004
We had a lot of support,
224
00:11:13,006 --> 00:11:15,440
especially in the
early days. I mean,
225
00:11:15,442 --> 00:11:17,308
you don't pull a kid
out of a war zone
226
00:11:17,310 --> 00:11:19,611
and have him turn out like
Luce without a lot of help.
227
00:11:19,613 --> 00:11:21,146
I bet.
228
00:11:21,148 --> 00:11:23,214
Which is why this
is so difficult.
229
00:11:24,151 --> 00:11:25,116
Difficult?
230
00:11:29,623 --> 00:11:32,691
Last week, the class
was given an assignment
231
00:11:32,693 --> 00:11:35,694
to write in the voice
of an historical figure.
232
00:11:35,696 --> 00:11:39,798
Some students picked FDR at the
start of the Great Depression
233
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,066
or even Fidel Castro
234
00:11:41,068 --> 00:11:43,134
at the Bay of Pigs.
235
00:11:43,136 --> 00:11:46,638
The goal was to get them
to think outside of the box.
236
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,307
Want to make sure you understand
where I'm coming from.
237
00:11:51,578 --> 00:11:52,777
Please.
238
00:11:56,383 --> 00:11:58,149
[¶¶¶]
239
00:11:58,151 --> 00:12:03,121
[shower water running]
[indistinct voices]
240
00:12:15,335 --> 00:12:17,001
[exhales]
241
00:12:21,508 --> 00:12:24,509
Who is this Frantz Fanon?
242
00:12:24,511 --> 00:12:27,579
He was a pan-African
revolutionary.
243
00:12:27,581 --> 00:12:31,583
He argued that violence was
a necessary cleansing force,
244
00:12:31,585 --> 00:12:33,384
that it was needed to
free colonized people
245
00:12:33,386 --> 00:12:34,586
from their rulers.
246
00:12:34,588 --> 00:12:36,955
You-you teach this?
I don't.
247
00:12:37,891 --> 00:12:39,190
Look,
248
00:12:39,192 --> 00:12:41,860
I won't pretend
to know what it's like
249
00:12:41,862 --> 00:12:44,763
for Luce to confront
certain aspects of who he is
250
00:12:44,765 --> 00:12:47,098
and it's not
within my purview
251
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:50,535
to say what a boy who spent
his first 10 years in...
252
00:12:50,537 --> 00:12:51,503
Eritrea.
253
00:12:52,439 --> 00:12:53,705
Right.
254
00:12:53,707 --> 00:12:55,206
What that might
have been like,
255
00:12:55,208 --> 00:12:57,742
what kind of adjustments
he must have made
256
00:12:57,744 --> 00:12:58,943
in order to fit in here.
257
00:12:58,945 --> 00:13:00,812
And I don't know
258
00:13:00,814 --> 00:13:03,414
the details of his treatment--
I'm sure you've heard
259
00:13:03,416 --> 00:13:05,150
he went through
years of recovery
260
00:13:05,152 --> 00:13:07,886
and he showed no signs of--
I-I didn't mean to imply--
261
00:13:07,888 --> 00:13:09,888
I just want to be clear
that whatever
262
00:13:09,890 --> 00:13:13,224
violence he both suffered and
inflicted during that time
263
00:13:13,226 --> 00:13:15,827
was dealt with,
it's been processed.
264
00:13:15,829 --> 00:13:17,228
Of course.
265
00:13:17,230 --> 00:13:20,165
But with the climate
around school security
266
00:13:20,167 --> 00:13:23,101
the way it is right now,
you can understand my concern.
267
00:13:23,103 --> 00:13:24,435
Yes.
268
00:13:24,437 --> 00:13:25,737
Which is why I felt
269
00:13:25,739 --> 00:13:27,739
I needed to search
his locker.
270
00:13:27,741 --> 00:13:29,741
I'm sorry?
Amy...
271
00:13:29,743 --> 00:13:31,109
He wrote a paper.
272
00:13:31,111 --> 00:13:33,144
A paper in which
he describes
273
00:13:33,146 --> 00:13:35,647
his belief that the solution
to a political problem
274
00:13:35,649 --> 00:13:37,749
is to gun down those
with whom you disagree.
275
00:13:37,751 --> 00:13:39,584
Right. But he was
assuming a character.
276
00:13:39,586 --> 00:13:41,986
The assignment called
for this and you--
277
00:13:45,926 --> 00:13:47,692
I found this in his locker.
278
00:13:51,665 --> 00:13:52,797
No.
Amy.
279
00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:53,798
No, I'm sorry.
280
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,100
I respect my son's privacy.
281
00:13:56,102 --> 00:13:58,269
Now, he wrote a paper
that scared you. Fine.
282
00:13:58,271 --> 00:13:59,470
That's between
you and him.
283
00:13:59,472 --> 00:14:01,206
But I won't,
I will not violate
284
00:14:01,208 --> 00:14:03,341
his right to the privacy
he's owed.
285
00:14:03,343 --> 00:14:05,276
They're fireworks.
286
00:14:05,278 --> 00:14:07,779
Illegal and very dangerous
fireworks.
287
00:14:07,781 --> 00:14:10,014
They could put a hole
in the wall, let alone--
288
00:14:10,016 --> 00:14:11,983
Where are you going with this?
289
00:14:11,985 --> 00:14:14,485
Right now I'm the only one
who knows about them,
290
00:14:14,487 --> 00:14:16,888
but what if someone else
were to find them?
291
00:14:16,890 --> 00:14:19,958
If someone who didn't know
Luce the way you and I do
292
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,994
were to stumble on this within
the context of his background
293
00:14:22,996 --> 00:14:24,596
having written this...
294
00:14:25,498 --> 00:14:26,531
Take them.
295
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:28,266
Talk to him.
296
00:14:30,337 --> 00:14:33,204
Who he is is too important
to this school
297
00:14:33,206 --> 00:14:34,672
for him to fuck it up.
298
00:14:34,674 --> 00:14:36,941
He can't fuck it up.
299
00:14:38,478 --> 00:14:40,078
Talk to him, please.
300
00:14:45,652 --> 00:14:46,718
I will.
301
00:14:48,855 --> 00:14:50,822
ORLICKI:
You're the one who keeps
talking about Stephanie.
302
00:14:50,824 --> 00:14:52,323
COREY: I'm not!
The fuck is wrong with you?
303
00:14:52,325 --> 00:14:54,225
Shut it!
Get off me!
304
00:14:54,227 --> 00:14:56,327
COREY:
You should have kept
your mouth shut, little shit.
305
00:14:56,329 --> 00:14:57,495
ORLICKI:
I told you!
306
00:14:57,497 --> 00:14:58,997
Yo, what the hell! Come on!
307
00:14:58,999 --> 00:15:00,765
He told everybody!
Fuck you!
308
00:15:00,767 --> 00:15:04,168
[indistinct shouting]
309
00:15:04,170 --> 00:15:05,904
If this gets out,
it's on your two.
310
00:15:05,906 --> 00:15:07,338
Both of you!
COACH: Yo!
311
00:15:09,109 --> 00:15:11,743
Everything okay?
Everything's fine, coach.
312
00:15:14,714 --> 00:15:16,881
Luce, my office.
313
00:15:16,883 --> 00:15:18,116
Sure thing.
314
00:15:25,292 --> 00:15:26,758
AMY:
You read the whole thing?
315
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,126
Yeah.
316
00:15:28,128 --> 00:15:30,595
Okay, yeah, kids get
taken with ideas.
317
00:15:30,597 --> 00:15:31,930
Look, he probably stumbled
318
00:15:31,932 --> 00:15:33,865
across Frantz Fanon
on the internet
319
00:15:33,867 --> 00:15:35,466
and went overboard.
320
00:15:35,468 --> 00:15:37,902
I read the Communist Manifesto
when I was an undergrad
321
00:15:37,904 --> 00:15:40,038
and called people
comrade for a month.
322
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,874
Yeah, well, I think he's
a little too smart for that.
323
00:15:42,876 --> 00:15:45,443
Not too smart to have
explosives in his locker.
324
00:15:45,445 --> 00:15:47,645
They're fireworks.
Illegal fireworks
325
00:15:47,647 --> 00:15:49,614
Still--
that have explosive capacity,
326
00:15:49,616 --> 00:15:51,749
I Googled this,
of a shotgun blast.
327
00:15:51,751 --> 00:15:52,750
They're fireworks.
328
00:15:52,752 --> 00:15:54,953
It's not shocking.
329
00:15:54,955 --> 00:15:56,688
That is shocking.
330
00:15:58,091 --> 00:16:00,258
Okay, so what?
331
00:16:00,260 --> 00:16:02,994
So what?
What? What, our...
332
00:16:04,331 --> 00:16:07,031
teenage soon-to-be
valedictorian son is,
333
00:16:07,968 --> 00:16:09,734
secretly a radical?
No.
334
00:16:09,736 --> 00:16:10,802
A terrorist?
No.
335
00:16:10,804 --> 00:16:12,303
No. Of course not.
What then?
336
00:16:12,305 --> 00:16:14,472
I don't know. It's just
something's going on
337
00:16:14,474 --> 00:16:16,074
and I want to be
in front of it.
338
00:16:16,076 --> 00:16:18,409
[keys jangling]
Oh shit.
339
00:16:18,411 --> 00:16:19,877
PETER:
Amy, what the fuck?
340
00:16:21,514 --> 00:16:22,747
Hey!
Hey.
341
00:16:22,749 --> 00:16:23,982
How was school?
342
00:16:29,089 --> 00:16:30,221
What's going on?
343
00:16:31,157 --> 00:16:32,357
Nothing.
344
00:16:32,359 --> 00:16:34,325
How was school?
How was practice?
345
00:16:34,327 --> 00:16:35,560
[indistinct]
346
00:16:36,663 --> 00:16:37,662
Psy.
347
00:16:39,366 --> 00:16:41,866
Have you eaten?
Not yet.
348
00:16:41,868 --> 00:16:44,669
Oh good, because
your dad picked up curry.
349
00:16:44,671 --> 00:16:45,670
Sweet!
350
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:47,839
[coughs]
351
00:16:50,710 --> 00:16:52,877
[slight chuckles]
352
00:16:52,879 --> 00:16:55,713
Okay, put your stuff down
so we can eat.
353
00:16:55,715 --> 00:16:58,016
Cool.
Great.
354
00:16:58,018 --> 00:16:59,884
Don't start without me.
We won't.
355
00:17:01,287 --> 00:17:02,687
Hey...
356
00:17:02,689 --> 00:17:04,822
What was that?
I don't want him to know
357
00:17:04,824 --> 00:17:06,891
we've gone through his things.
We didn't.
358
00:17:06,893 --> 00:17:09,660
Or make it seem we went behind
his back to his teachers.
359
00:17:09,662 --> 00:17:11,129
Amy...
Come on, Pete.
360
00:17:11,131 --> 00:17:13,131
How many years did it take us
to get him here?
361
00:17:13,133 --> 00:17:15,466
How many nights did I crawl
underneath that bed
362
00:17:15,468 --> 00:17:17,502
because he was too scared
to sleep in it?
363
00:17:17,504 --> 00:17:19,137
What we've built.
That trust.
364
00:17:19,139 --> 00:17:21,439
I won't risk it.
I won't.

MS. WILSON:
I got everything ready.
368
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,759
Yes, I'll be by to talk
with the doctors tomorrow
369
00:17:41,761 --> 00:17:42,827
and we'll be all set.
370

Rose...
371
00:17:45,732 --> 00:17:47,398
Rose, I told you already, okay?
372
00:17:49,269 --> 00:17:51,769
Okay. I'll see you soon.
373
00:17:52,505 --> 00:17:53,771
I love you too.

00:18:05,085 --> 00:18:07,251

[sighs]
377
00:18:17,363 --> 00:18:18,930
Okay, so who told you?
378
00:18:18,932 --> 00:18:22,200
Told us what?
You clearly know.
379
00:18:22,202 --> 00:18:23,468
What do we know?
380
00:18:23,470 --> 00:18:25,870
LUCE:
You don't-- You don't know?
381
00:18:25,872 --> 00:18:29,707
What is it that you think
we do or do not know, honey?
382
00:18:30,276 --> 00:18:31,442
Um...
383
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,279
Coach Reeves
offered me Captain.
384
00:18:35,281 --> 00:18:36,314
Wow!
Whoa.
385
00:18:36,316 --> 00:18:38,416
Oh my God!
That's amazing!
386
00:18:38,418 --> 00:18:39,784
Yeah! It's dope.
387
00:18:39,786 --> 00:18:41,285
Says I'll be
good example
388
00:18:41,287 --> 00:18:43,588
for certain teammates.
But between track
389
00:18:43,590 --> 00:18:46,257
and debate prep, plus the extra
shit Wilson has us doing...
390
00:18:46,259 --> 00:18:47,492
What, how do you mean?
391
00:18:47,494 --> 00:18:49,827
Nothing. It's just...
392
00:18:51,064 --> 00:18:52,697
You really don't like her,
do you?
393
00:18:53,566 --> 00:18:54,732
It's complicated.
394
00:18:55,802 --> 00:18:57,034
Try me.
395
00:18:58,571 --> 00:19:00,805
Okay. You remember
Stephanie Kim, right?
396
00:19:02,809 --> 00:19:04,509
Sort of...
Not a clue.
397
00:19:04,511 --> 00:19:06,344
She came over one time last...
398
00:19:06,346 --> 00:19:08,412
AMY: Go on.
Anyway.
399
00:19:08,414 --> 00:19:10,348
There were rumors
going around about her
400
00:19:10,350 --> 00:19:11,983
after this party
a few weeks ago.
401
00:19:11,985 --> 00:19:14,352
What kind of rumors?
Oh, people were drinking
402
00:19:14,354 --> 00:19:16,787
and no one really knows
what happened, but, um...
403
00:19:16,789 --> 00:19:18,356
Stephanie got
kind of messed up.
404
00:19:18,358 --> 00:19:19,857
Something happened
with some guys.
405
00:19:19,859 --> 00:19:21,659
Then Wilson got involved
406
00:19:21,661 --> 00:19:23,794
and no one really
could prove anything
407
00:19:23,796 --> 00:19:26,631
but she kept using Stephanie
as like an example.
408
00:19:26,633 --> 00:19:28,166
turning her
into a victim.
409
00:19:28,168 --> 00:19:30,001
How?
Well,
410
00:19:30,003 --> 00:19:33,204
we'll be talking about women
in Middle East or something
411
00:19:33,206 --> 00:19:35,706
and she singles her out,
says some shit like,
412
00:19:35,708 --> 00:19:38,309
"We all know firsthand
how important it is for women
413
00:19:38,311 --> 00:19:40,978
to have the courage
to stand up, to fight."
414
00:19:40,980 --> 00:19:42,547
AMY: I don't understand.
415
00:19:42,549 --> 00:19:44,348
It's not exactly
singling her out.
416
00:19:44,350 --> 00:19:45,850
It's how she says it.
417
00:19:45,852 --> 00:19:47,451
Like everyone's
a symbol to her.
418
00:19:47,453 --> 00:19:49,720
Stephanie, Deshaun,
we all exist
419
00:19:49,722 --> 00:19:52,190
to confirm the world
is the way she sees it.
420
00:19:52,192 --> 00:19:53,991
AMY:
So does she do that
kind of thing with you?
421
00:19:53,993 --> 00:19:55,826
[scoffs]
Are you kidding?
422
00:19:55,828 --> 00:19:57,228
I'm a fucking
poster boy.
423
00:19:57,230 --> 00:19:59,730
Black kid who overcame
his tragic past,
424
00:19:59,732 --> 00:20:01,933
the example why America
works. It's bullshit.
425
00:20:03,169 --> 00:20:05,203
So you don't like her
labeling you?
426
00:20:05,205 --> 00:20:07,305
I don't like tokenism.
427
00:20:07,307 --> 00:20:09,640
What's the difference
between punishing someone
428
00:20:09,642 --> 00:20:12,577
for being a stereotype and
rewarding them if they're not?
429
00:20:12,579 --> 00:20:14,645
One of the two
comes with benefits.
430
00:20:14,647 --> 00:20:16,147
What you'd call a benefit,
431
00:20:16,149 --> 00:20:17,748
I'd call a responsibility
I didn't ask for.
432
00:20:17,750 --> 00:20:20,451
Okay, what about responsibility
to tell the truth?
433
00:20:21,521 --> 00:20:22,520
What?
Peter...
434
00:20:22,522 --> 00:20:23,754
So, one of the
435
00:20:23,756 --> 00:20:25,756
benefits you get
is benefit of the doubt.
436
00:20:25,758 --> 00:20:27,992
A chance to explain yourself.
Explain myself?
437
00:20:27,994 --> 00:20:29,327
AMY: Enough.
Whereas another student
438
00:20:29,329 --> 00:20:30,828
might not. So...
439
00:20:32,599 --> 00:20:34,498
You have anything
you want to tell us?
440
00:20:34,500 --> 00:20:36,300
AMY: Peter, stop.
About what?
441
00:20:40,373 --> 00:20:41,572
Ask your mom.
442
00:20:46,446 --> 00:20:47,845

Prosecutor Edgar,
459
00:23:32,378 --> 00:23:34,412
take it easy on me today.
How are you all doing?
460
00:23:34,414 --> 00:23:36,347
Ms. Wilson, so glad
you could join us.
461
00:23:36,349 --> 00:23:39,083
Luce was hoping to get some
help building his next case.
462
00:23:39,085 --> 00:23:41,519
I figure you and Principal Dan
are the all stars.
463
00:23:41,521 --> 00:23:43,888
We're going to nationals
again this year, right?
464
00:23:43,890 --> 00:23:45,856

Boom!
465

That's why this one's

466
00:23:47,894 --> 00:23:49,260
Okay, let's have it.
467
00:23:49,262 --> 00:23:51,095
Ms. Wilson...
468
00:23:51,097 --> 00:23:54,265
Of course. Let's, uh,
let's hear what you got.
469
00:23:59,539 --> 00:24:01,705
What are you doing?
Jesus, Pete!
470
00:24:03,209 --> 00:24:05,109
Doesn't it make sense
just to get rid of them?
471
00:24:05,111 --> 00:24:06,277
They're so dangerous.
472
00:24:06,279 --> 00:24:07,545
We hang on to them
473
00:24:07,547 --> 00:24:09,280
until we get to
the bottom of this.
474
00:24:11,884 --> 00:24:13,217
They'll be
safe here.
475
00:24:15,121 --> 00:24:16,120
What?
476
00:24:16,923 --> 00:24:17,888
What?
477
00:24:25,731 --> 00:24:26,831
LUCE:
My argument
478
00:24:26,833 --> 00:24:29,099
is premised on
two court cases:
479
00:24:29,101 --> 00:24:31,469
Goss v. Lopez,
1975,
480
00:24:31,471 --> 00:24:34,672
and New Jersey
v. T.L.O., 1985.
481
00:24:34,674 --> 00:24:37,842
In Goss, an Ohio school
suspended nine students
482
00:24:37,844 --> 00:24:39,143
for delinquent behavior,
483
00:24:39,145 --> 00:24:40,845
but the Supreme Court found
484
00:24:40,847 --> 00:24:43,414
that depriving students of
their right to an education
485
00:24:43,416 --> 00:24:44,582
without
due process
486
00:24:44,584 --> 00:24:46,784
is a violation
of their civil rights.
487
00:24:46,786 --> 00:24:48,486
Ms. Wilson,
do you agree with that?
488
00:24:48,488 --> 00:24:50,287
I'm sorry?
489
00:24:50,289 --> 00:24:51,956
LUCE:
Do you agree that those kids
490
00:24:51,958 --> 00:24:54,525
were deprived of
their civil rights?
491
00:24:54,527 --> 00:24:57,695
I don't know the specifics
of the case but
492
00:24:57,697 --> 00:25:00,264
the principal--
Principal makes sense, right?
493
00:25:00,266 --> 00:25:01,632
Education is a civil right.
494
00:25:01,634 --> 00:25:03,033
Everyone should have
civil rights.
495
00:25:03,035 --> 00:25:05,135
Right.
In the second case
496
00:25:05,137 --> 00:25:08,806
a student is accused of smoking
in the school bathroom,
497
00:25:08,808 --> 00:25:10,374
but there's no proof.
498
00:25:10,376 --> 00:25:12,877
The charge is premised
on a teacher's suspicion.
499
00:25:12,879 --> 00:25:16,113
So the principal searched
her purse and found cigarettes
500
00:25:16,115 --> 00:25:18,115
and marijuana-related
paraphernalia.
501
00:25:18,117 --> 00:25:19,450
Do you agree with that?
502
00:25:19,452 --> 00:25:21,218
What did the court say?
503
00:25:21,220 --> 00:25:22,720
The court found that students
504
00:25:22,722 --> 00:25:25,689
have a reduced expectation
of privacy in schools.
505
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:27,358
It makes sense.
506
00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:28,792
Does it?
507
00:25:28,794 --> 00:25:33,564
A school is a unique
social institution.
508
00:25:33,566 --> 00:25:35,666
It's populated by people
who aren't adults
509
00:25:35,668 --> 00:25:38,402
in the eyes of the law.
People who have to be here.
510
00:25:38,404 --> 00:25:40,538
Students.
Yes.
511
00:25:40,540 --> 00:25:41,805
Students are half people.
512
00:25:41,807 --> 00:25:43,173
LENA:
Luce,
513
00:25:43,175 --> 00:25:45,142
is there a specific
question you have
514
00:25:45,144 --> 00:25:47,344
that Ms. Wilson
might be able to address?
515
00:25:47,346 --> 00:25:48,345
Totally.
516
00:25:48,347 --> 00:25:50,481
Thanks Ms. Tennyson.
517
00:25:50,483 --> 00:25:52,383
Um, basically my question
518
00:25:52,385 --> 00:25:54,518
that I hope Ms. Wilson
can help me with
519
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,555
is around this idea
of reduced expectation
520
00:25:57,557 --> 00:26:00,758
versus the affirmation by the
court of student civil rights.
521
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,760
Like what are the criteria
for evaluating
522
00:26:02,762 --> 00:26:04,528
what's a violation
of privacy?
523
00:26:04,530 --> 00:26:06,263
Is privacy a civil right?
524
00:26:06,265 --> 00:26:07,598
LUCE:
I think so.
525
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,466
Maybe the law isn't so sure.
526
00:26:11,938 --> 00:26:14,338
If I went through your desk
without you knowing,
527
00:26:14,340 --> 00:26:16,307
would you feel like
your privacy was violated?
528
00:26:18,578 --> 00:26:20,377
Yes, I would.
529
00:26:20,379 --> 00:26:22,279
So?
530
00:26:22,281 --> 00:26:24,515
Feelings aren't
a legal argument.
531
00:26:24,517 --> 00:26:27,451
In the New Jersey case,
the teacher assumed
532
00:26:27,453 --> 00:26:29,720
the girl was guilty
because of her feelings.
533
00:26:29,722 --> 00:26:32,690
That's called
reasonable suspicion.
534
00:26:32,692 --> 00:26:35,593
It's all the police need
to search your car.
535
00:26:35,595 --> 00:26:38,128
LUCE:
So it's about what's reasonable.
536
00:26:38,130 --> 00:26:40,631
That's what courts are for.
537
00:26:42,234 --> 00:26:45,069
Really it's just about
people though, right?
538
00:26:45,071 --> 00:26:47,371
Whether they conform
to what we think they are.
539
00:26:49,041 --> 00:26:50,207
It's not that simple.
540
00:26:51,277 --> 00:26:52,610
Nothing ever is.
541
00:26:55,982 --> 00:26:57,648
[school bell rings]
542
00:26:57,650 --> 00:26:59,817
Thank you so much
for your help, Ms. Wilson.
543
00:26:59,819 --> 00:27:01,418
This was,
this was great, right?
544
00:27:01,420 --> 00:27:03,587
Any time.
545
00:27:03,589 --> 00:27:05,823
God, that kid is
something else, isn't he?
546
00:27:07,326 --> 00:27:11,729

[school bell rings]
548
00:27:17,403 --> 00:27:19,036
All right, people,
phones away.
549
00:27:20,673 --> 00:27:21,939
I see you, Sasha.
550
00:27:21,941 --> 00:27:23,841
And you too,
Stephanie Kim.
551
00:27:25,578 --> 00:27:27,578
All right.
CHEERLEADERS: It's show time!
552
00:27:27,580 --> 00:27:29,079
You fucked up.
And bro,
553
00:27:29,081 --> 00:27:31,115
you can't just go slamming
Orlicki against a locker.
554
00:27:31,117 --> 00:27:32,516
He's out there
telling everybody.
555
00:27:32,518 --> 00:27:35,119
It's nothing half the school
didn't already know.
556
00:27:35,121 --> 00:27:37,121
Besides, I talked
to Stephanie.
557
00:27:37,123 --> 00:27:38,956
You two still talk?
558
00:27:38,958 --> 00:27:40,658
Not really, but someone
had to resolve this
559
00:27:40,660 --> 00:27:42,926
before it blows up.
Is she gonna be cool?
560
00:27:42,928 --> 00:27:44,261
Yeah.
Is she gonna be cool?
561
00:27:44,263 --> 00:27:45,929
Everything's going
to be cool, man.
562
00:27:45,931 --> 00:27:48,766
Just squash the beef
with Orlicki, all right?
563
00:27:48,768 --> 00:27:51,335
Corey!
All right, man. Whatever.
564
00:27:54,473 --> 00:27:57,441
Yo! Deshaun's
one bold-ass nigga.
565
00:27:57,443 --> 00:27:59,710
COREY:
Since Wilson got him
tossed off the team,
566
00:27:59,712 --> 00:28:00,944
he's been messed up.
567
00:28:05,651 --> 00:28:08,118
I'll catch you later, man.
568
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:09,420
Yo.
Yeah.
569
00:28:11,724 --> 00:28:14,358
[phone chimes]
570
00:28:19,498 --> 00:28:21,165
MS. WILSON:
We agreed on this.
571
00:28:21,167 --> 00:28:24,301
If you live with me,
you have to be responsible for--
572
00:28:24,303 --> 00:28:27,304
All I ask is if you're staying
on top of your medication.
573
00:28:28,641 --> 00:28:30,507
I know what the doctor
said, Rosemary.
574
00:28:30,509 --> 00:28:32,910
It doesn't mean
I'm comfortable with it.
575
00:28:32,912 --> 00:28:35,045
MS. WILSON:
Out of everyone in this family,
576
00:28:35,047 --> 00:28:36,513
I've been there for you
time and time again.
577
00:28:36,515 --> 00:28:37,514
I resent that.
578
00:28:37,516 --> 00:28:39,083
[knocks on door]
Hey.
579
00:28:39,085 --> 00:28:41,752
I gotta go, Rose.
We'll talk tonight.
580
00:28:44,356 --> 00:28:46,890
Everything okay?
Everything's fine.
581
00:28:46,892 --> 00:28:48,826
Family stuff?
582
00:28:48,828 --> 00:28:50,327
Personal business, yes.
583
00:28:50,329 --> 00:28:51,295
Gotcha.
584
00:28:52,698 --> 00:28:54,765
Um, thanks for your
guidance this morning.
585
00:28:54,767 --> 00:28:56,667
It really helped
make my case.
586
00:28:56,669 --> 00:28:58,569
I'm glad.
587
00:28:58,571 --> 00:29:00,237
You wanted to see me?
588
00:29:00,239 --> 00:29:02,873
I wanted to talk to you about
your assignment, Luce.
589
00:29:02,875 --> 00:29:04,374
What about it?
590
00:29:04,376 --> 00:29:06,510
I assumed you spoke
to your mother...
591
00:29:06,512 --> 00:29:09,680
I haven't gotten it back yet.
How could I talk my mom of it?
592
00:29:11,383 --> 00:29:14,084
Well, I'll just say, uh...
593
00:29:14,086 --> 00:29:15,953
After reading it,
I have some concerns
594
00:29:15,955 --> 00:29:17,688
for some of
the arguments you made.
595
00:29:17,690 --> 00:29:19,356
Well they aren't mine.
596
00:29:19,358 --> 00:29:20,591
Excuse me?
597
00:29:20,593 --> 00:29:22,459
The arguments,
they're Frantz Fanon's.
598
00:29:22,461 --> 00:29:24,228
I realize that.
599
00:29:24,230 --> 00:29:25,929
The assignment was
to write in his voice.
600
00:29:25,931 --> 00:29:27,798
You really think
I believe that stuff?
601
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,434
Well, I don't know.
602
00:29:30,436 --> 00:29:33,437
If I didn't know you, Luce,
it would be reasonable for me
603
00:29:33,439 --> 00:29:35,305
to read that assignment
and conclude--
604
00:29:35,307 --> 00:29:36,440
But you do know me.
605
00:29:39,278 --> 00:29:41,245
Look, um,
606
00:29:41,247 --> 00:29:43,247
I'm sorry if I scared you.
607
00:29:43,249 --> 00:29:45,549
I just wanted to do
a good job.
608
00:29:45,551 --> 00:29:47,651
You did do a good job.
609
00:29:47,653 --> 00:29:49,219
I mean, I get it.
610
00:29:49,221 --> 00:29:50,988
Get what?
Well, I get
611
00:29:50,990 --> 00:29:53,991
how someone who learned how to
shoot a gun before driving a car
612
00:29:53,993 --> 00:29:55,392
writing something like that
613
00:29:55,394 --> 00:29:57,161
might make someone
freaked out.
614
00:29:58,798 --> 00:30:01,398
I just hope you know me
better than that, Ms. Wilson.
615
00:30:03,002 --> 00:30:05,469
I like to think
that I do, Luce.
616
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,840
Anything else you wanted
to talk to me about?
617
00:30:10,409 --> 00:30:11,809
No.
618
00:30:11,811 --> 00:30:13,510
Tell your mom
I'd like her to call me.
619
00:30:14,013 --> 00:30:15,012
Why?
620
00:30:16,515 --> 00:30:18,182
Because I want
to speak with her.
621
00:30:19,018 --> 00:30:20,951
What about? I mean,
622
00:30:20,953 --> 00:30:24,087
I guess it's about me unless you
guys are friends or something.
623
00:30:24,089 --> 00:30:25,622
Please have her
call me, Luce.
624
00:30:25,624 --> 00:30:27,157
Thank you for
stopping in.
625
00:30:27,159 --> 00:30:28,325
Of course.
626
00:30:33,632 --> 00:30:34,898
Hey, Ms. Wilson...
627
00:30:36,035 --> 00:30:37,634
What's your favorite holiday?
628
00:30:37,636 --> 00:30:41,171
Excuse me?
What's your favorite holiday?
629
00:30:41,173 --> 00:30:43,473
I don't know.
Christmas maybe.
630
00:30:43,475 --> 00:30:44,875
Mine is Independence Day.
631
00:30:44,877 --> 00:30:46,677
[¶¶¶]
632
00:30:46,679 --> 00:30:48,445
Before I came here,
633
00:30:48,447 --> 00:30:50,848
I didn't know
a single holiday and
634
00:30:50,850 --> 00:30:54,618
I remember my mom trying
to explain what they were.
635
00:30:54,620 --> 00:30:57,120
It's a hard concept to grasp
if you've never of it,
636
00:30:57,122 --> 00:30:58,722
but,
637
00:30:58,724 --> 00:31:01,158
once I learned them all,
my favorite, hands down,
638
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,861
has always been
Independence Day.
639
00:31:03,863 --> 00:31:04,862
Why is that?
640
00:31:04,864 --> 00:31:06,730
I like what it represents.
641
00:31:08,234 --> 00:31:10,167
Freedom,
642
00:31:10,169 --> 00:31:11,201
strength,
643
00:31:12,671 --> 00:31:13,871
individuality.
644
00:31:15,541 --> 00:31:19,042
Also I love the fireworks.
The lights.
645
00:31:19,044 --> 00:31:20,244
Poof!
646
00:31:22,014 --> 00:31:25,148
Luce, I'd like to remind you
that you're still a student here
647
00:31:25,150 --> 00:31:27,317
and I am your teacher.
648
00:31:27,319 --> 00:31:31,521
And regardless of what you may
view as some sort of injustice
649
00:31:31,523 --> 00:31:33,523
What are you talking about?
...or unfair,
650
00:31:33,525 --> 00:31:36,260
just remember how things
are organized around here.
651
00:31:38,097 --> 00:31:40,130
Totally.
I'll see you around.
652
00:31:51,377 --> 00:31:54,211
The financials from Cusack.
Thanks, Beth.
653
00:31:54,213 --> 00:31:56,046
Quarter end payments
went out, right?
654
00:31:56,048 --> 00:31:59,950
Yes.
[cell phone vibrating]
655
00:32:02,855 --> 00:32:03,854
Yeah?
656
00:32:06,225 --> 00:32:08,825
Ms. Wilson.
How are you?
657
00:32:13,866 --> 00:32:15,632
Why is she calling you?
658
00:32:15,634 --> 00:32:18,201
Well, last I checked
I'm one of two parents.
659
00:32:18,203 --> 00:32:20,203
Yeah, but she was
communicating with me
660
00:32:20,205 --> 00:32:21,705
and now she's calling you?
661
00:32:21,707 --> 00:32:24,374
Well, we're both available
to talk about our son.
662
00:32:24,376 --> 00:32:28,045
This woman has some kind
of vendetta against Luce.
663
00:32:28,047 --> 00:32:29,479
Vendetta? Really?
Yeah.
664
00:32:29,481 --> 00:32:31,882
She has some thing
with him and now,
665
00:32:31,884 --> 00:32:33,917
now she's trying to
divide and conquer.
666
00:32:33,919 --> 00:32:35,385
Nice word choice.
667
00:32:35,387 --> 00:32:36,920
What she did
with Stephanie Kim
668
00:32:36,922 --> 00:32:38,989
and what she's trying
to do now with Luce,
669
00:32:38,991 --> 00:32:41,825
this woman holds different kids
to different standards based--
670
00:32:41,827 --> 00:32:44,328
Did you see or hear what
she did to that girl?
671
00:32:44,330 --> 00:32:47,130
I've heard enough to know.
From Luce, yeah.
672
00:32:47,132 --> 00:32:51,001
Yes, from our son, who has
always been honest with us.
673
00:32:51,003 --> 00:32:53,603
Except about having illegal
fireworks in his locker.
674
00:32:53,605 --> 00:32:55,305
He didn't lie about that.
675
00:32:55,307 --> 00:32:57,507
Is that so?
Not telling us
676
00:32:57,509 --> 00:32:59,676
and lying are two
different things.
677
00:32:59,678 --> 00:33:01,945
And what if there's
a pattern here?
678
00:33:01,947 --> 00:33:03,413
A pattern?
Yeah.
679
00:33:03,415 --> 00:33:05,282

681
00:33:07,619 --> 00:33:09,853
We have to be at least open to
Absolutely not.
682
00:33:09,855 --> 00:33:12,089
the possibility that
our son is capable of...
683
00:33:12,091 --> 00:33:14,992
Of what? Capable of what?
684
00:33:14,994 --> 00:33:16,927
Tell me you know
he's a good kid, Pete.
685
00:33:16,929 --> 00:33:18,628
Tell me if shit
hits the fan,
686
00:33:18,630 --> 00:33:20,330
we aren't about
to abandon our son.
687
00:33:20,332 --> 00:33:22,332
We're not going to abandon him.
Our black son to a system
688
00:33:22,334 --> 00:33:24,668
that already wants
to shit all over him.
689
00:33:26,605 --> 00:33:29,673
It's our job to protect him,
to have his back.
690
00:33:29,675 --> 00:33:31,274
That's part of it.
It's our job
691
00:33:31,276 --> 00:33:32,943
to do what's right.
By him.
692
00:33:32,945 --> 00:33:34,644
To do what's
right by him.

00:33:41,186 --> 00:33:42,652
Did you threaten
your teacher?

Honey...
Excuse me?
699
00:33:43,689 --> 00:33:44,688
You heard me.
700
00:33:44,690 --> 00:33:45,689
Did I threaten...?
701
00:33:45,691 --> 00:33:47,958
Ms. Wilson called.
702
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,559
Ms. Wilson said
I threatened her?
703
00:33:49,561 --> 00:33:50,794
Did you?
704
00:33:50,796 --> 00:33:52,162
What did she say?
She said--
705
00:33:52,164 --> 00:33:54,131
Never mind what she said.
What did you do?
706
00:33:54,133 --> 00:33:55,732
She asked me
to come and see her.
707
00:33:55,734 --> 00:33:57,300
And?
708
00:33:57,302 --> 00:33:59,669

me with my debate case.

She helped you?
Yeah, her and Principal Dan.
710
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,907
Why would I
threaten her?
711
00:34:03,909 --> 00:34:05,909
What did she want
to talk to you about?
712
00:34:05,911 --> 00:34:08,011
A paper.
We had a misunderstanding.
713
00:34:08,013 --> 00:34:09,980
I apologized for it.
714
00:34:09,982 --> 00:34:11,882
You say anything about
the 4th of July?
715
00:34:11,884 --> 00:34:13,183
What?
Honey...
716
00:34:13,185 --> 00:34:15,185
About fireworks?
How is that a threat?
717
00:34:15,187 --> 00:34:17,654
Did you or did you not say
something about the 4th of July?
718
00:34:17,656 --> 00:34:19,689
I said the 4th of July
was my favorite holiday.
719
00:34:19,691 --> 00:34:21,058
Why would you say that?
720
00:34:21,060 --> 00:34:22,726
I thought we were
having a conversation.
721
00:34:22,728 --> 00:34:24,327
She says I threatened her?
722
00:34:24,329 --> 00:34:26,163
I need you to be straight
with me for a second.
723
00:34:26,165 --> 00:34:27,731
When am I not?
Hey!
724
00:34:31,336 --> 00:34:32,302
Sure.
725
00:34:34,573 --> 00:34:37,674
So is there anything
you want to tell us?
726
00:34:38,710 --> 00:34:40,043
No.
You sure about that?
727
00:34:40,045 --> 00:34:41,845
Am I sure about what?
Jesus, if you guys
728
00:34:41,847 --> 00:34:43,513
want to ask me--
Why did you have
729
00:34:43,515 --> 00:34:45,549
illegal fireworks
in your locker?
730
00:34:45,551 --> 00:34:46,917
LUCE: What?
Why did you have
731
00:34:46,919 --> 00:34:48,785
illegal fireworks
in your locker?
732
00:34:48,787 --> 00:34:51,054
I didn't.
Luce, don't lie to me.
733
00:34:51,056 --> 00:34:52,456
I'm not.
Luce!
734
00:34:52,458 --> 00:34:54,057
How would you know
what's in my locker?
735
00:34:54,059 --> 00:34:56,726
Harriet told us.
Harriet has a lot to say.
736
00:34:56,728 --> 00:34:59,096
Never mind what she said.
Did you or didn't you?
737
00:34:59,098 --> 00:35:01,698
Not that I know of.
Oh, you know what?
738
00:35:01,700 --> 00:35:04,367
Fuck this.
We share lockers.
739
00:35:04,369 --> 00:35:06,369
The guys on the team
share lockers.
740
00:35:06,371 --> 00:35:09,106
Half my shit is in Orlicki's,
half his shit is in mine.
741
00:35:09,108 --> 00:35:11,108
I don't know what 90%
of the crap at the bottom is,
742
00:35:11,110 --> 00:35:13,110
let alone who it belongs to.
So...
743
00:35:13,112 --> 00:35:15,278
So not everything in
my locker belongs to me.
744
00:35:16,448 --> 00:35:17,614
Okay, good.
745
00:35:19,051 --> 00:35:20,050
That's good.
746
00:35:20,052 --> 00:35:21,418
Now, you understand
747
00:35:21,420 --> 00:35:23,120
why it's important
to know
748
00:35:23,122 --> 00:35:25,789
not only what's in your locker,
but who it belongs to.
749
00:35:25,791 --> 00:35:27,224
Yes.
Right?
750
00:35:27,226 --> 00:35:28,558
You can't blindly
trust people to...
751
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,795
Okay. You seriously
buy this shit?
752
00:35:34,399 --> 00:35:35,532
Seriously?
753
00:35:37,803 --> 00:35:40,937
So someone just happens to leave
a bag of illegal fireworks
754
00:35:40,939 --> 00:35:43,340
in your locker
and you have no idea?
755
00:35:43,342 --> 00:35:47,310
And then this teacher,
who you don't like,
756
00:35:47,312 --> 00:35:50,780
unjustifiably searches
your locker and finds them.
757
00:35:50,782 --> 00:35:52,349
You're just an
unlucky victim
758
00:35:52,351 --> 00:35:54,618
of circumstance, right?
It's the truth.
759
00:35:54,620 --> 00:35:56,586
That doesn't sound
like the truth to me.
760
00:35:56,588 --> 00:35:58,221
That sounds like bullshit.
761
00:36:05,664 --> 00:36:06,763
You believe me?
762
00:36:13,272 --> 00:36:14,704
We can figure this out.
763
00:36:18,110 --> 00:36:19,376

ORLICKI:
I didn't tell anyone
about Stephanie or the party.
769
00:38:22,134 --> 00:38:24,567
Corey should calm
the fuck down.
770
00:38:24,569 --> 00:38:26,336
I talked to him,
everything's fine.
771
00:38:26,338 --> 00:38:28,772
Yeah, tell that to the bruise
on my fucking neck.
772
00:38:28,774 --> 00:38:30,940
You gotta understand
where he's coming from.
773
00:38:30,942 --> 00:38:32,642
Your dad went
to Dartmouth.
774
00:38:32,644 --> 00:38:34,244
Your granddad
went to Dartmouth.
775
00:38:34,246 --> 00:38:36,446
Your dog could probably
get into Dartmouth.
776
00:38:36,448 --> 00:38:38,315
[laughter]
777
00:38:38,317 --> 00:38:40,283
Corey
doesn't have that.
778
00:38:40,285 --> 00:38:43,186
A whiff of something up with him
and he's the next Deshaun.
779
00:38:45,123 --> 00:38:47,824
Can't be walking around
at night smelling high, bro.
780
00:38:47,826 --> 00:38:50,527
You seriously think
someone's gonna stop you?
781
00:38:50,529 --> 00:38:53,797
I'm not interested in being
the next Deshaun either.
782
00:38:53,799 --> 00:38:55,665
You're not like Deshaun.
783
00:38:55,667 --> 00:38:57,500
We're both black,
Orlicki.
784
00:38:57,502 --> 00:39:01,404
Yeah, but he's
like black-black.
785
00:39:03,175 --> 00:39:04,841
Then what am I?
786
00:39:04,843 --> 00:39:06,176
You're Luce.

What are you doing?
791
00:39:36,007 --> 00:39:37,640
Where were you?
792
00:39:37,642 --> 00:39:40,577
I went for a run.
What do you want?
793
00:39:40,579 --> 00:39:42,512
I just wanted
to apologize
794
00:39:42,514 --> 00:39:44,147
for before.
795
00:39:44,149 --> 00:39:45,749
Your father...
...thinks I'm a liar?
796
00:39:45,751 --> 00:39:50,019
No, he-he's confused.
We both are.
797
00:39:50,021 --> 00:39:50,987
Confused about what?
798
00:39:52,724 --> 00:39:54,858
I told you the kind
of person Wilson is.
799
00:39:54,860 --> 00:39:56,559
You don't conform
to what she wants
800
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:57,994
and suddenly
you're the enemy.
801
00:39:58,663 --> 00:40:00,697
Look...
802
00:40:00,699 --> 00:40:03,533
I know it can seem unfair
how much people expect of you.
803
00:40:03,535 --> 00:40:04,567
You don't, though.
804
00:40:05,570 --> 00:40:06,870
You can't.
805
00:40:06,872 --> 00:40:08,772
And sometimes
I'm working so hard
806
00:40:08,774 --> 00:40:10,106
to keep this
all together,
807
00:40:10,108 --> 00:40:11,841
it feels like it'll all just--
What?
808
00:40:11,843 --> 00:40:14,210
Just what?
I can't be perfect.
809
00:40:14,212 --> 00:40:15,779
No one expects you
to be perfect.
810
00:40:15,781 --> 00:40:17,514
Wilson does.
811
00:40:17,516 --> 00:40:20,383
Believe it or not, she's
just trying to protect you.
812
00:40:20,385 --> 00:40:23,386
She's trying to protect
her idea of me.
813
00:40:23,388 --> 00:40:25,355
Same as you and him.
814
00:40:26,124 --> 00:40:27,524
That's not fair.
815
00:40:27,526 --> 00:40:29,859
Unfair doesn't make it
untrue.

Hey, Luce, it's Stephanie.
822
00:41:53,178 --> 00:41:55,545
I fucking hate it.
823
00:41:55,547 --> 00:42:01,184
Wilson said I was an example of a woman suffering in silence.
824
00:42:01,186 --> 00:42:04,454
So everyone is gossiping again.
825
00:42:04,456 --> 00:42:07,223
You were probably right for us to take a break.
826
00:42:07,225 --> 00:42:10,860
I just wish we could talk like we used to.
827
00:42:10,862 --> 00:42:11,895

taking now?

what is this?
840
00:43:01,413 --> 00:43:02,579
That's Greek yogurt.
841
00:43:03,949 --> 00:43:05,381
Just taste it.
842
00:43:05,383 --> 00:43:06,516

live long, Luce.

they went out

Oh! Is that right?
Yeah.

I don't normally get
to go places,

a treat for me.

00:45:34,032 --> 00:45:37,266
Thank you. I'm really glad
you guys could make it.
887
00:45:41,039 --> 00:45:44,440
[Pete makes cooing sounds]
888
00:45:48,079 --> 00:45:49,912
[baby giggles]
889
00:45:52,951 --> 00:45:56,285
How you doing?
[baby coos]
890
00:45:56,287 --> 00:45:58,821
[baby laughs]
891
00:46:03,361 --> 00:46:05,361
How many times
do I have to tell you no?
892
00:46:05,363 --> 00:46:07,096
You have to start talking
to a little kid.
893
00:46:07,098 --> 00:46:09,098
It's a fucking car wash.
What are you arguing about?
894
00:46:09,100 --> 00:46:10,633
What the hell's
he doing here?
895
00:46:10,635 --> 00:46:13,035
COACH:
Come on, man, look.
No team events.
896
00:46:13,037 --> 00:46:14,537
It's a...
This has been explained to you.
897
00:46:14,539 --> 00:46:16,873
Bro, I'm not arguing
with you over no car wash.
898
00:46:16,875 --> 00:46:18,875
What's your problem?
It's a fundraiser for the team.
899
00:46:18,877 --> 00:46:21,310
Coach Reeves, it's my fault.
I invited Deshaun.
900
00:46:21,312 --> 00:46:23,279
I didn't realize
it violated
901
00:46:23,281 --> 00:46:24,881
the terms of his agreement
with the school.
902
00:46:24,883 --> 00:46:26,883
Do you mind if we talk about
an assignment real quick
903
00:46:26,885 --> 00:46:27,884
before he goes?
904
00:46:29,754 --> 00:46:31,454
As long
as it's quick.
905
00:46:31,456 --> 00:46:34,257
Cool. Thanks, Coach.
Come on, bro.
906
00:46:34,259 --> 00:46:37,226
Sorry about that.
No, fuck his bitch ass, man.
907
00:46:37,228 --> 00:46:40,830
That nigga always undermining
with me, bro, from day one.
908
00:46:40,832 --> 00:46:42,732
Well we're getting killed
on these distance events
909
00:46:42,734 --> 00:46:45,768
without you, bro.
Corey can't run for shit
910
00:46:45,770 --> 00:46:48,271
unless there's pussy
waiting at the finish line.
911
00:46:48,273 --> 00:46:51,140
[both chuckle]
912
00:46:51,142 --> 00:46:53,509
Don't know. If it's anything
like his sister's pussy,
913
00:46:53,511 --> 00:46:56,078
that shit got stains on it.
[laughs]
914
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:58,815
So I've heard.
915
00:46:58,817 --> 00:47:00,950
What's going on with you
and Mike Jeffs?
916
00:47:00,952 --> 00:47:02,985
I've been seeing you hanging
with him and his boys.
917
00:47:02,987 --> 00:47:05,221
I didn't know you all
were tight like that.
918
00:47:07,826 --> 00:47:11,928
I don't know. It ain't like
future Nobel Laureates and shit.
919
00:47:11,930 --> 00:47:13,863
You don't have to be
a Nobel Laureate
920
00:47:13,865 --> 00:47:16,599
to know that Mike Jeffs
is bad news, bro.
921
00:47:16,601 --> 00:47:18,601
Why you getting mixed up
with those guys?
922
00:47:18,603 --> 00:47:21,304
What the fuck? Chill out,
all right? I'm good.
923
00:47:21,306 --> 00:47:23,372
Damn, my pants
too low, too?
924
00:47:23,374 --> 00:47:25,641
I gotta hike them up if I want
to make something of myself?
925
00:47:25,643 --> 00:47:28,144
Na, my nigga, don't come over
here and try to patronize me.
926
00:47:28,146 --> 00:47:29,512
Come on, man.
927
00:47:29,514 --> 00:47:31,214
I don't know if you've
been busy distracted
928
00:47:31,216 --> 00:47:33,716
with Wilson and the rest of
these fake-ass motherfuckers
929
00:47:33,718 --> 00:47:36,519
sucking your dick 24/7
but my shit is done, bro.
930
00:47:36,521 --> 00:47:37,887
It's finished.
931
00:47:39,557 --> 00:47:42,191
As a matter of fact, how many
time we smoke together, Luce?
932
00:47:43,728 --> 00:47:45,928
How many times you come
to my crib and blaze?
933
00:47:47,699 --> 00:47:50,900
Yo, Wilson finds weed in my
locker and now I'm off the team.
934
00:47:50,902 --> 00:47:52,935
That's my scholarship gone.
935
00:47:55,206 --> 00:47:56,772
Why me and not you, my nigga?
936
00:47:58,910 --> 00:48:00,877
Answer the question.
Why me and not you?
937
00:48:00,879 --> 00:48:02,678
I don't know.
You don't know.
938
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:04,313
You know what the fuck
I'm talking about.
939
00:48:04,315 --> 00:48:06,082
It's because
they want you to win.
940
00:48:06,084 --> 00:48:10,152
Otherwise, all their little up
by your own bootstraps bullshit,
941
00:48:10,154 --> 00:48:11,120
it don't apply.
942
00:48:12,891 --> 00:48:14,957
But then again,
why am I trippin'?
943
00:48:16,761 --> 00:48:18,761
Gotta have at least
one Obama, right?
944
00:48:18,763 --> 00:48:20,496
I didn't ask
for this, man.
945
00:48:20,498 --> 00:48:22,098
Oh, you didn't
ask for this.
946
00:48:22,100 --> 00:48:25,234
Word. So, what, you want
to trade or something?
947
00:48:29,774 --> 00:48:30,773
Yeah.
948
00:48:30,775 --> 00:48:32,508
Yeah, I didn't think so.
949
00:48:33,711 --> 00:48:34,810
Deshaun...
950
00:48:37,282 --> 00:48:38,648
I want to make this right.
951
00:48:47,125 --> 00:48:48,524
[glass shattering]
952
00:48:50,028 --> 00:48:51,594
Ro?
953
00:48:53,298 --> 00:48:54,664
Ro?
954
00:49:00,538 --> 00:49:01,837
Ro?
955
00:49:03,541 --> 00:49:05,174
Oh, God.
956

[crunching underfoot]
957
00:49:33,438 --> 00:49:35,271
Hey.
958
00:49:35,273 --> 00:49:37,273
No, no...
Shhh.
959
00:49:37,275 --> 00:49:39,241
I was--
960
00:49:39,243 --> 00:49:43,746
I was walking and I was trying
to make it there and then...
961
00:49:43,748 --> 00:49:46,849
the food, the food was...
962
00:49:46,851 --> 00:49:48,284
Shhh!
963
00:49:48,286 --> 00:49:51,187
I'll clean it. I'll clean up.
You're okay.
964
00:49:51,189 --> 00:49:54,457
I'll clean it up.
Shhh.
965
00:49:54,459 --> 00:49:57,593
Breathe. Breathe.
966
00:49:57,595 --> 00:49:59,462
[Ms. Wilson exhales]
967
00:49:59,464 --> 00:50:00,930
[TV on in background]
968
00:50:00,932 --> 00:50:04,433
[door opens and closes]
969
00:50:04,435 --> 00:50:06,002
Hey! Sorry I'm late.
970
00:50:06,004 --> 00:50:08,838
No. Please, sit.
971
00:50:10,375 --> 00:50:12,875
They screwed up the order.
I asked for cappuccinos
972
00:50:12,877 --> 00:50:14,510
and they gave us
Frappuccinos.
973
00:50:14,512 --> 00:50:16,379
I like these more.
Oh, you do?
974
00:50:16,381 --> 00:50:19,215
Can't make it to the dinner
without at least three of them.
975
00:50:19,217 --> 00:50:22,351
Okay.
[both laugh awkwardly]
976
00:50:22,353 --> 00:50:25,855
Thank you.
No, thank you for, um,
977
00:50:25,857 --> 00:50:28,457
meeting me.
This must be a little weird.
978
00:50:28,459 --> 00:50:30,459
It is.
979
00:50:30,461 --> 00:50:33,195
Okay. Um, yeah, well
I guess I was hoping
980
00:50:33,197 --> 00:50:36,532
you could help me with
something to do with Luce.
981
00:50:36,534 --> 00:50:38,234
We don't really
talk a lot anymore.
982
00:50:38,236 --> 00:50:42,838
Oh, you don't?
Not since we broke up.
983
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:44,206
What?
984
00:50:44,208 --> 00:50:45,975
You didn't know
we broke up?
985
00:50:45,977 --> 00:50:47,743
I didn't know you dated.
986
00:50:48,546 --> 00:50:49,612
Oh.
987
00:50:51,382 --> 00:50:53,449
Um, for how long?
988
00:50:55,753 --> 00:50:57,586
Um... Mrs. Edgar,
989
00:50:57,588 --> 00:50:59,155
I don't feel
comfortable
990
00:50:59,157 --> 00:51:00,923
telling you about me and Luce.
Yeah, of course.
991
00:51:00,925 --> 00:51:04,160
Because I don't know
why you want to know.
992
00:51:04,162 --> 00:51:07,363
Okay. Let me explain myself.
Yeah.
993
00:51:07,365 --> 00:51:10,366
This is about Harriet Wilson.
What?
994
00:51:10,368 --> 00:51:12,568
I need to know
what she did to you.
995
00:51:12,570 --> 00:51:14,203
Because Luce told us
996
00:51:14,205 --> 00:51:17,106
that when she found out
what happened at the party...
997
00:51:17,108 --> 00:51:20,076
Luce swore he wouldn't tell
what happened at the party.
998
00:51:20,078 --> 00:51:22,178
I thought he didn't know
what happened.
999
00:51:24,382 --> 00:51:25,414
I should go.
1000
00:51:25,416 --> 00:51:27,283
No, wait.
Stephanie, please.
1001
00:51:27,285 --> 00:51:29,051
Listen to me.
1002
00:51:29,053 --> 00:51:32,521
I just want to know
the truth, Okay?
1003
00:51:32,523 --> 00:51:35,791
Now, if Ms. Wilson made you
feel like whatever happened
1004
00:51:35,793 --> 00:51:39,061
should be some kind of
a political statement,
1005
00:51:39,063 --> 00:51:40,596
then that's wrong of her.
1006
00:51:40,598 --> 00:51:44,100
As women what we need to do
is support each other.
1007
00:51:44,102 --> 00:51:45,201
Do you understand?
1008
00:51:47,038 --> 00:51:48,270
I'm not sure.
1009
00:51:48,272 --> 00:51:50,406
I want to support you.
1010
00:51:50,408 --> 00:51:52,341
You deserve to be supported.
1011
00:51:57,048 --> 00:51:58,047
Okay.
1012
00:52:02,386 --> 00:52:05,421
But for me to do that
I need to know what happened.
1013
00:52:05,423 --> 00:52:08,257
It's easy to say that.
1014
00:52:08,259 --> 00:52:11,794
But once you know something,
you can't un-know it.
1015
00:52:11,796 --> 00:52:14,497
I want to know,
no matter what.
1016
00:52:16,067 --> 00:52:17,333
Please.
1017
00:52:23,407 --> 00:52:27,209
[crickets chirping]
1018
00:52:31,282 --> 00:52:33,048
[engine cuts]
1019
00:52:37,355 --> 00:52:40,789
Harriet, please...
1020
00:52:40,791 --> 00:52:43,826
I'm sorry. I can't think of
any other way to resolve this.
1021
00:52:43,828 --> 00:52:47,029
You suffer from
a condition, Ro.
1022
00:52:47,031 --> 00:52:50,032
And it's clear my home is no
longer an ideal environment.
1023
00:52:50,034 --> 00:52:51,534
You sound like
one of them doctors
1024
00:52:51,536 --> 00:52:52,868
she about to
dump me with again.
1025
00:52:52,870 --> 00:52:55,337
I'm not dumping you.
Oh really?
1026
00:52:55,339 --> 00:52:56,906
That's what it
feels like, Harriet!
1027
00:52:59,143 --> 00:53:00,809
[whimpers]
Come on, now.
1028
00:53:00,811 --> 00:53:03,045
Don't make a scene.
Don't make a scene.
1029
00:53:03,047 --> 00:53:04,847
Harriet!
1030
00:53:06,284 --> 00:53:07,616
Ro...
It's fine.
1031
00:53:07,618 --> 00:53:09,218
It's fine, it's fine...
1032
00:53:09,220 --> 00:53:10,452
It's fine!
1033
00:53:20,064 --> 00:53:23,899
Harriet!
[whimpering]
1034
00:53:28,506 --> 00:53:30,039
Orlicki had a party.
1035
00:53:32,810 --> 00:53:34,376
I was drunk.
1036
00:53:34,378 --> 00:53:36,745
I had gone with two friends.
All three of us were drunk.
1037
00:53:36,747 --> 00:53:39,181
Please don't tell anyone
this, it's embarrassing.
1038
00:53:39,183 --> 00:53:42,218
No, no, this is between us.
I promise.
1039
00:53:43,854 --> 00:53:49,024
People kept having shots of
stuff that tasted like syrup
1040
00:53:49,026 --> 00:53:52,995
and I just kept drinking it
because it was easy
1041
00:53:52,997 --> 00:53:55,731
but I got dizzy.
1042
00:53:56,734 --> 00:53:58,334
I lost my friends.
1043
00:54:00,204 --> 00:54:02,938
Orlicki found me and told me
to go lie down in the basement.
1044
00:54:05,176 --> 00:54:07,076
It was dark.
1045
00:54:07,078 --> 00:54:08,611
I couldn't see.
1046
00:54:10,214 --> 00:54:11,780
I felt my way
over to the couch
1047
00:54:11,782 --> 00:54:13,682
but there were
people there.
1048
00:54:15,753 --> 00:54:18,587
Next, someone said we should
play the Santa Claus game.
1049
00:54:18,589 --> 00:54:19,588
What's that?
1050
00:54:20,791 --> 00:54:24,226
It's this stupid game
that guys play
1051
00:54:24,228 --> 00:54:27,229
where a girl gets passed
around from lap to lap
1052
00:54:27,231 --> 00:54:29,131
and depending on how far
she lets them go
1053
00:54:29,133 --> 00:54:31,467
or how much they like you
sitting on them,
1054
00:54:31,469 --> 00:54:33,702
they rate you
from one to three.
1055
00:54:33,704 --> 00:54:34,970
Ho ho hos.
1056
00:54:34,972 --> 00:54:36,538
My God, that can't be real.
1057
00:54:37,908 --> 00:54:39,275
There are worse games.
1058
00:54:40,911 --> 00:54:41,877
Anyway,
1059
00:54:43,247 --> 00:54:44,980
they started
passing me around.
1060
00:54:46,317 --> 00:54:49,618
I kept thinking,
"God,
1061
00:54:49,620 --> 00:54:51,820
what if I throw up
right now?
1062
00:54:51,822 --> 00:54:53,722
How embarrassing
would that be?"
1063
00:54:55,993 --> 00:54:58,527
When they started,
they were laughing.
1064
00:54:59,563 --> 00:55:01,330
But the longer
it went on...
1065
00:55:03,067 --> 00:55:07,202
And it felt like
it went on forever.
1066
00:55:09,407 --> 00:55:12,975
All I could hear
was breathing.
1067
00:55:15,179 --> 00:55:17,079
Breathing,
1068
00:55:17,081 --> 00:55:19,915
and counting.
1069
00:55:19,917 --> 00:55:22,051
One, two,
1070
00:55:23,254 --> 00:55:24,920
two,
1071
00:55:24,922 --> 00:55:26,088
three...
1072
00:55:26,991 --> 00:55:29,858
One, two...
1073
00:55:31,128 --> 00:55:32,127
At some point
1074
00:55:32,129 --> 00:55:33,495
I definitely said
1075
00:55:33,497 --> 00:55:34,963
I wanted them to stop.
1076
00:55:34,965 --> 00:55:37,132
But maybe it sounded
like I was joking
1077
00:55:37,134 --> 00:55:40,336
or maybe it was just something
I said to myself in my head...
1078
00:55:42,373 --> 00:55:46,075
There were hands
everywhere.
1079
00:55:48,379 --> 00:55:50,746
It was like
they were swallowing me.
1080
00:55:53,884 --> 00:55:56,385
And sometimes
in their laps
1081
00:55:58,022 --> 00:56:01,256
I could feel...
[sniffles]
1082
00:56:02,693 --> 00:56:04,093
Oh!
[sniffling]
1083
00:56:04,962 --> 00:56:05,928
Oh.
1084
00:56:07,465 --> 00:56:08,897
Gross.
[nervous chuckle]
1085
00:56:11,969 --> 00:56:13,502
Um.
1086
00:56:13,504 --> 00:56:17,072
When I woke up,
Luce was there.
1087
00:56:17,074 --> 00:56:19,007
He said he found them
and told them to stop.
1088
00:56:19,009 --> 00:56:20,509
[laughs nervously]
1089
00:56:20,511 --> 00:56:22,778
And he stayed with me
the rest of the night.
1090
00:56:25,549 --> 00:56:27,249
Is it possible that...?
1091
00:56:28,853 --> 00:56:30,152
Was Luce one of the guys?
1092
00:56:30,154 --> 00:56:31,987
He wouldn't do that.
1093
00:56:31,989 --> 00:56:33,655
But he...
He just wouldn't.
1094
00:56:39,497 --> 00:56:40,996
What happened
with Ms. Wilson?
1095
00:56:42,533 --> 00:56:45,100
There were
a lot of rumors.
1096
00:56:46,704 --> 00:56:48,370
It was
at the same time
1097
00:56:48,372 --> 00:56:50,205
Deshaun Meeks got
kicked off the team
1098
00:56:50,207 --> 00:56:53,242
because Wilson found
weed in his locker.
1099
00:56:53,244 --> 00:56:56,578
She searched
Deshaun's locker?
1100
00:56:56,580 --> 00:56:58,514
And called
the cops.
1101
00:56:58,516 --> 00:57:01,583
I didn't want that.
What would I say?
1102
00:57:01,585 --> 00:57:03,118
I couldn't
remember anything
1103
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:07,089
and I definitely didn't tell
everyone I was drunk.
1104
00:57:07,091 --> 00:57:08,257
What did Luce say?
1105
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:12,261
He said I was right
not to tell.
1106
00:57:13,631 --> 00:57:15,898
Because he was protecting
his friends.
1107
00:57:15,900 --> 00:57:17,733
Because he was
protecting me.
1108
00:57:17,735 --> 00:57:20,436
He didn't want me to do
anything I didn't want to do.
1109
00:57:25,876 --> 00:57:27,309
Why did you two break up?
1110
00:57:28,746 --> 00:57:29,778
I don't know.
1111
00:57:31,615 --> 00:57:32,848
I miss him.
1112
00:57:34,251 --> 00:57:36,351
He's the best boyfriend
I ever had.
1113
00:57:40,458 --> 00:57:41,490

00:57:43,761 --> 00:57:45,127
Stephanie...
1115
00:57:46,330 --> 00:57:48,497
I'm really sorry
for what happened.
1116
00:57:48,499 --> 00:57:49,498
Don't be.
1117
00:57:49,500 --> 00:57:50,499

Where were you?
1125
00:58:40,117 --> 00:58:41,917

Karen seems good.
Yeah, she is.

They're happy.
1130
00:59:00,571 --> 00:59:02,838
The baby fidgets.
1131
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:05,874
Mm-hm. I think that's
just a baby thing.
1132
00:59:07,578 --> 00:59:09,411
[Amy giggles]
1133
00:59:10,514 --> 00:59:11,747
Are you drunk?

[Peter chuckles]
1135
00:59:15,352 --> 00:59:19,187
So you don't think it's
that baby in particular.
1136
00:59:19,189 --> 00:59:20,222
How would I know?
1137
00:59:21,492 --> 00:59:23,592
I mean,
I don't know, so...
1138
00:59:24,328 --> 00:59:26,028
how would I know?
1139
00:59:26,030 --> 00:59:27,095
Yeah.
1140
00:59:27,831 --> 00:59:29,331
PETER: Right?
1141
00:59:29,333 --> 00:59:32,434
Mm, yeah,
I guess you wouldn't.
1142
00:59:32,436 --> 00:59:33,669
PETER:
No.
1143
00:59:34,939 --> 00:59:37,372
AMY:
You know, it's not Luce's fault
1144
00:59:37,374 --> 00:59:39,575
you were denied diaper
changing privileges.
1145
00:59:39,577 --> 00:59:41,810
No.
[chuckles]
1146
00:59:44,214 --> 00:59:45,914
Thanks.
1147
00:59:45,916 --> 00:59:47,549
Look, we made a choice.
1148
00:59:47,551 --> 00:59:50,419
I'm okay with that as long
as you recognize it cost us.
1149
00:59:51,355 --> 00:59:52,421
Which means?
1150
00:59:53,691 --> 00:59:56,291
I did want something
different once.
1151
00:59:56,293 --> 00:59:57,859
Ten years and
you're trapped.
1152
00:59:58,562 --> 01:00:00,095
Your words.
1153
01:00:00,097 --> 01:00:02,631
Well, you said it.
You wanted something different.
1154
01:00:02,633 --> 01:00:05,233
I did, yeah.
Like what?
1155
01:00:05,235 --> 01:00:09,104
Look, I'm proud of our son.
1156
01:00:10,541 --> 01:00:13,809
Okay, I love him.
I love him
1157
01:00:13,811 --> 01:00:17,212
more than I'll ever
understand, okay?
1158
01:00:17,214 --> 01:00:20,415
But we spent years
with him in therapy
1159
01:00:20,417 --> 01:00:22,217
and rehabilitation.
1160
01:00:22,219 --> 01:00:23,752
Our friends
couldn't understand
1161
01:00:23,754 --> 01:00:26,622
why we didn't just
have a kid of our own.
1162
01:00:26,624 --> 01:00:28,256
And so while they
fell away doing
1163
01:00:28,258 --> 01:00:31,493
what normal
fucking people do,
1164
01:00:31,495 --> 01:00:33,962
we worked our asses off
to give him a life,
1165
01:00:33,964 --> 01:00:37,432
at the expense of our own.
So to pretend that
1166
01:00:37,434 --> 01:00:39,267
that didn't
cost us anything
1167
01:00:39,269 --> 01:00:40,636
is bullshit.
I wasn't pretending.
1168
01:00:40,638 --> 01:00:43,138
You are!
Amy.
1169
01:00:44,842 --> 01:00:45,841
You are.
1170
01:00:46,944 --> 01:00:49,177
You want so
desperately for him
1171
01:00:49,179 --> 01:00:50,912
to be what you want him to be,
you're ignoring
1172
01:00:50,914 --> 01:00:52,781
what's right
in front of you.
1173
01:00:52,783 --> 01:00:54,149
What he is, is
1174
01:00:55,119 --> 01:00:57,319
our son.
Right.
1175
01:00:57,321 --> 01:00:59,087
And nothing's going
to change that.
1176
01:01:00,124 --> 01:01:01,256
Right.
1177
01:01:03,260 --> 01:01:04,393
So...
1178
01:01:06,263 --> 01:01:07,329

1179
01:01:07,331 --> 01:01:08,664

[sighs]
1182
01:01:23,814 --> 01:01:25,013
I came here
1183
01:01:25,849 --> 01:01:27,849
to America,
1184
01:01:27,851 --> 01:01:29,418
to this school,
1185
01:01:30,988 --> 01:01:32,387
and I found myself.
1186
01:01:36,727 --> 01:01:39,695
When I first met my mother,
she couldn't pronounce my name.
1187
01:01:41,131 --> 01:01:44,566
She tried over and over
to get the emphasis
1188
01:01:44,568 --> 01:01:47,402
on the syllables
correct, but...
1189
01:01:47,404 --> 01:01:48,637
she just couldn't.
1190
01:01:51,341 --> 01:01:54,042
So my father suggested
that they rename me.
1191
01:02:02,820 --> 01:02:04,886
They picked Luce,
1192
01:02:04,888 --> 01:02:06,154
and, uh...

[breath trembles]
1194
01:02:12,362 --> 01:02:14,529

what to say
to you all tonight.
1196
01:02:18,902 --> 01:02:21,903
And I realized how lucky
I am to be an American.
1197
01:02:25,342 --> 01:02:27,509
Because here I got
the chance to start over.
1198
01:02:29,279 --> 01:02:30,979

Yeah. Poor Dennis.

Yeah. The way he just
pulled him out

01:03:47,991 --> 01:03:50,525

Where's my sister?
1236
01:05:44,875 --> 01:05:49,144
Rosemary! I'm right here.
I'm right here.
1237
01:05:49,146 --> 01:05:50,478
Now come on,
let's go home.
1238
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:52,814
You don't want me at home.
That's not true.
1239
01:05:52,816 --> 01:05:56,418
You won't...
You're ashamed of me.
1240
01:05:56,420 --> 01:05:57,819
I am not.
1241
01:05:57,821 --> 01:06:01,122
[stuttering]
You hate me.
1242
01:06:01,124 --> 01:06:02,958
Don't talk nonsense, Ro.
You hate me.
1243
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:05,160
Shh. Look at me.
1244
01:06:05,162 --> 01:06:06,995
DAN:
Hey, hey!
Put those phones away.
1245
01:06:06,997 --> 01:06:10,598
You're embarrassed.
You're embarrassed!
1246
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:12,834
You're embarrassed!
Stop this!
1247
01:06:12,836 --> 01:06:14,235
Stop it right now, Rose!
1248
01:06:14,237 --> 01:06:18,006
She's embarrassed!
She's embarrassed of me!
1249
01:06:18,008 --> 01:06:19,474
You're embarrassed of me!
1250
01:06:19,476 --> 01:06:23,511
I am your black
nigger bitch sister!
1251
01:06:23,513 --> 01:06:27,115
This your blood.
Not these white folk.
1252
01:06:27,117 --> 01:06:29,851
I am your blood.
You can't get rid of blood.
1253
01:06:29,853 --> 01:06:35,323
You can't run from blood!
I am your sister! You...
1254
01:06:35,325 --> 01:06:36,825
COP:
Hey!
1255
01:06:36,827 --> 01:06:39,828
She's-she's sick officers.
Don't run!
1256
01:06:39,830 --> 01:06:42,197
Relax! Calm down!
1257
01:06:42,199 --> 01:06:43,264
Relax.
1258
01:06:43,266 --> 01:06:44,632
Get off of me!
Get off of me!
1259
01:06:44,634 --> 01:06:46,167
Calm down.
Get off of me!
1260
01:06:46,169 --> 01:06:47,602
Relax or
you'll be tased.
1261
01:06:47,604 --> 01:06:49,437
MS. WILSON: Calm down.
Get off of me!
1262
01:06:49,439 --> 01:06:50,805
I'm going to tase you!
1263
01:06:50,807 --> 01:06:53,174
Calm down! Please!
Relax!
1264
01:06:53,777 --> 01:06:55,443
Please.
1265
01:06:55,445 --> 01:06:57,379
[taser crackles]
[screaming]
1266
01:06:57,881 --> 01:06:59,280
No!
1267
01:06:59,282 --> 01:07:02,817
ROSE:
Harriet, Harriet...
Harriet!
1268
01:07:02,819 --> 01:07:04,819
Calm down!
1269
01:07:04,821 --> 01:07:07,188
Can you cover her up?
1270
01:07:07,190 --> 01:07:09,524
Can you please
just cover her up?
1271
01:07:09,526 --> 01:07:12,027
DAN:
Put the phones down.
Get back to class now.
1272
01:07:12,029 --> 01:07:14,162
Give me your phone.
Come on!
1273
01:07:14,164 --> 01:07:16,798
I want every single phone
in this hallway
1274
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:18,867
in my office
right now.
1275
01:07:18,869 --> 01:07:20,301
Every cell phone!
1276
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:26,341
[police siren wails]
1277
01:07:26,343 --> 01:07:28,743
[footsteps recede]
1278
01:07:34,985 --> 01:07:39,421
GIRL:
My God! I've never seen anything
like it in my entire life.
1279
01:07:39,423 --> 01:07:42,424
It was insane.
1280
01:07:42,426 --> 01:07:45,126
Who knew that Ms. Wilson's
family was so fucked up?
1281
01:07:49,833 --> 01:07:51,533
I am your black, nigger...
1282
01:07:51,535 --> 01:07:53,835
This was today?
Yeah, it's crazy, huh?
1283
01:07:56,606 --> 01:07:57,972
AMY:
Oh my God!
1284
01:07:59,342 --> 01:08:01,409
AMY: Oh, come on.
PETER: Oh, fuck.
1285
01:08:03,013 --> 01:08:04,612
Where's Harriet?
1286
01:08:04,614 --> 01:08:06,714
Um, I think she spent
most of the day
1287
01:08:06,716 --> 01:08:09,017
at the police station
with her sister.
1288
01:08:09,019 --> 01:08:10,585
Just goes to show you.
1289
01:08:11,288 --> 01:08:12,287
What?
1290
01:08:12,289 --> 01:08:14,556
Nothing, it's just...
1291
01:08:14,558 --> 01:08:17,358
You never really know what's
going on with people.
1292
01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:20,962
Like, in life.
Outside of what you know.
1293
01:08:20,964 --> 01:08:22,997
I shouldn't have said
she was a bitch.
1294
01:08:26,603 --> 01:08:29,971
Well, I think I owe you
an apology, Luce.
1295
01:08:31,041 --> 01:08:32,740
For what?
Really.
1296
01:08:32,742 --> 01:08:34,742
You've never given me any
reason to doubt your integrity.
1297
01:08:34,744 --> 01:08:37,579
You should know
we got your back.
1298
01:08:37,581 --> 01:08:40,949
No matter what?
No matter what. Asshole.
1299
01:08:47,090 --> 01:08:49,290
Put your phones down, get back to class now.
1300
01:08:53,630 --> 01:08:55,964
[crickets chirping]

Who is it?
1308
01:10:20,016 --> 01:10:21,616
I need to talk to you
about Luce.
1309
01:10:32,162 --> 01:10:34,562
Harriet, if you Googled
"model student"
1310
01:10:34,564 --> 01:10:37,031
Luce Edgar's picture would
come up on the computer
1311
01:10:37,033 --> 01:10:40,168
and now you're telling me that
this kid, graffiti-ed your home?
1312
01:10:40,170 --> 01:10:41,736
It's not just
the graffiti, Dan.
1313
01:10:41,738 --> 01:10:43,571
No, he also wrote
an upsetting paper.
1314
01:10:43,573 --> 01:10:44,772
He argued violence--
A paper
1315
01:10:44,774 --> 01:10:46,241
that you no longer
have a copy of.
1316
01:10:46,243 --> 01:10:47,442
I gave it to his mother.
1317
01:10:47,444 --> 01:10:49,043
An upsetting paper
where it sounds
1318
01:10:49,045 --> 01:10:51,713
like he did exactly what the
assignment asked him to do.
1319
01:10:51,715 --> 01:10:53,781
I know the difference
between miscommunication
1320
01:10:53,783 --> 01:10:56,517
and provocation. I can tell
the difference between them.
1321
01:10:56,519 --> 01:10:58,886
Isn't there a chance,
just maybe,
1322
01:10:58,888 --> 01:11:02,690
that what he wrote
just went over your head?
1323
01:11:02,692 --> 01:11:04,659
I don't mean that
as a dig.
1324
01:11:05,962 --> 01:11:07,762
Come on,
I think you're brilliant.
1325
01:11:07,764 --> 01:11:09,864
I think you're articulate,
you're a great teacher,
1326
01:11:09,866 --> 01:11:13,534
but you know, we all misread
signals from time to time.
1327
01:11:15,572 --> 01:11:17,772
There's an allegation
of sexual assault.
1328
01:11:19,709 --> 01:11:21,709
A student
came to me and said
1329
01:11:21,711 --> 01:11:24,045
Luce sexually assaulted
her at a party.

01:11:25,882 --> 01:11:27,181
[exhales]
1331
01:11:31,221 --> 01:11:32,387
Which student?
Dan...
1332
01:11:32,389 --> 01:11:33,988
You're talking
about a crime now.
1333
01:11:35,759 --> 01:11:37,892
I'm not gonna ruin a kid's
life because you come here
1334
01:11:37,894 --> 01:11:41,095
with some unsubstantiated
accusations and hunches.
1335
01:11:41,097 --> 01:11:42,563
Then let me prove it.
1336
01:11:44,100 --> 01:11:46,067
[water bubbling]
1337
01:11:47,570 --> 01:11:49,170
Hey, what's up?
1338
01:11:51,941 --> 01:11:54,142
I didn't buy it before but
maybe you're right, maybe
1339
01:11:54,144 --> 01:11:56,477
she has some kind of weird
vendetta thing for Luce.
1340
01:11:56,479 --> 01:11:58,012
Okay, hold on.
1341
01:11:58,014 --> 01:11:59,814
She doesn't get what she wants out of you
1342
01:11:59,816 --> 01:12:01,149
so then she comes to me.
1343
01:12:01,151 --> 01:12:03,418
Then when that doesn't
work she goes to Dan.
1344
01:12:03,420 --> 01:12:06,587
She's having a personal crisis,
she's taking it out on our son.
1345
01:12:06,589 --> 01:12:08,356
Just let me handle it. Just let me.
1346
01:12:08,358 --> 01:12:11,993
Okay.
Okay. Bye.
1347
01:12:41,291 --> 01:12:42,557
What are you
doing home?
1348
01:12:43,526 --> 01:12:46,027
Hey! I, uh,
1349
01:12:46,029 --> 01:12:48,730
just needed to pick up
a few things before practice.
1350
01:12:51,901 --> 01:12:53,634
You see Dan's email?
Yeah.
1351
01:12:53,636 --> 01:12:55,036
I'm not sure
what it's about.
1352
01:12:56,306 --> 01:12:57,905
I guess we'll just
wait and see.
1353
01:12:57,907 --> 01:12:59,040
Guess so.
1354
01:13:00,744 --> 01:13:03,211
I'm, um, I'm taking
your advice you know.
1355
01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:05,413
About what?
1356
01:13:05,415 --> 01:13:07,248
The speech.
1357
01:13:07,250 --> 01:13:10,818
I'm making it more personal.
I think you'll be proud.
1358
01:13:12,856 --> 01:13:14,122
I'm sure I will be.
1359
01:13:15,558 --> 01:13:17,158
So, um,
1360
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:18,526
I'll see you
at the meeting.
1361
01:13:18,528 --> 01:13:20,428
Six o'clock sharp.
Great.
1362
01:13:26,336 --> 01:13:28,636
Why didn't you tell me
you talked to Stephanie?
1363
01:13:30,273 --> 01:13:32,273
You didn't think
she would tell me?
1364
01:13:34,577 --> 01:13:36,677
I don't think either of us
have been great
1365
01:13:36,679 --> 01:13:38,246
at keeping each other
in the loop, Luce.
1366
01:13:38,248 --> 01:13:39,947
What are you
trying to prove?
1367
01:13:39,949 --> 01:13:41,349
What are you
trying to hide?
1368
01:13:41,351 --> 01:13:42,917
I'm not trying
to hide anything.
1369
01:13:42,919 --> 01:13:45,553
That's not the impression
I got from Stephanie.
1370
01:13:45,555 --> 01:13:47,455
What did she say?
You tell me.
1371
01:13:47,457 --> 01:13:49,123
You're the one
that talked to her.
1372
01:13:49,125 --> 01:13:50,124
Stop it.
Stop what?
1373
01:13:50,126 --> 01:13:51,726
This game.
What game?
1374
01:13:51,728 --> 01:13:54,195
What did you do to that girl?
What, you think I--?
1375
01:13:54,197 --> 01:13:56,230
Never mind what I think.
What did you do to her?
1376
01:13:56,232 --> 01:13:58,399
I did the right thing.
By lying?
1377
01:13:58,401 --> 01:14:00,301
She threatened to kill herself.
Ms. Wilson kept pushing...
1378
01:14:00,303 --> 01:14:02,737
By protecting
the people who hurt her?
1379
01:14:02,739 --> 01:14:04,038
I wanted her
to get better.
1380
01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:05,473
Then why didn't you
ask for help?
1381
01:14:05,475 --> 01:14:07,108
She was better.
I think you're lying.
1382
01:14:07,110 --> 01:14:08,743
I'm not lying.
Tell me the truth.
1383
01:14:08,745 --> 01:14:10,912
I'm telling you the truth.
Stop lying to me.
1384
01:14:10,914 --> 01:14:13,648
I'm not lying.
Tell me the fucking truth!
1385
01:14:21,825 --> 01:14:23,825
Why did you write that paper?
1386
01:14:26,296 --> 01:14:28,996
What if I told you
it's what I believed?
1387
01:14:29,766 --> 01:14:30,898
You believe in
1388
01:14:30,900 --> 01:14:33,401
hurting people
to make a point?
1389
01:14:33,403 --> 01:14:35,636
You wouldn't know.
You never read it, right?
1390
01:14:39,242 --> 01:14:40,208
[exhales]
1391
01:14:41,277 --> 01:14:42,577
Luce...
1392
01:14:49,619 --> 01:14:50,918
I feel like...
1393
01:14:53,289 --> 01:14:55,890
you're all waiting for me
to confirm this thing...
1394
01:14:57,327 --> 01:14:59,227
that no one wants
to say aloud.
1395
01:15:00,630 --> 01:15:02,497
And I'm trying
so hard
1396
01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:05,166
not to be that.
1397
01:15:07,170 --> 01:15:09,537
But after a while you can't
help but think that maybe
1398
01:15:09,539 --> 01:15:11,506
you're fighting a losing battle.
What do you mean?
1399
01:15:11,508 --> 01:15:12,940
I mean
1400
01:15:12,942 --> 01:15:15,343
it's like I only get
to be a saint or a monster.
1401
01:15:15,345 --> 01:15:18,045
That's not true.
We always accepted you
1402
01:15:18,047 --> 01:15:19,347
for whoever you are.
1403
01:15:19,349 --> 01:15:20,948
I don't believe you, Amy.
1404
01:15:22,719 --> 01:15:26,354
And I feel like I'm suffocating.
Like I can't breathe.
1405
01:15:26,356 --> 01:15:29,457
That's why I'm here,
to help you and to protect you.
1406
01:15:29,459 --> 01:15:31,959
What if you're part of what
I need protecting from?
1407

[cell phone chimes]
1408
01:15:45,375 --> 01:15:46,941
I'm gonna be late, um...
1409
01:15:48,811 --> 01:15:50,211
I'll see you
at the meeting.
1410

1412
01:16:18,341 --> 01:16:21,242
I promise it'll be as
painless as possible.
1413
01:16:21,244 --> 01:16:23,344
We'll be just
down the hall.
1414
01:16:23,346 --> 01:16:26,213
When the time comes,
I'll escort you in and
1415
01:16:26,215 --> 01:16:28,249
you just tell them
what you told me.
1416
01:16:28,251 --> 01:16:29,850
And then that's it,
you're done.
1417
01:16:29,852 --> 01:16:31,419
Luce will be there?
1418
01:16:31,421 --> 01:16:33,588
I can have him step out when
it's time for you to speak.
1419
01:16:33,590 --> 01:16:35,690
What about his mom?
1420
01:16:35,692 --> 01:16:36,691
She'll be there.
1421
01:16:36,693 --> 01:16:38,259
Yes.
1422
01:16:38,261 --> 01:16:40,094
Hey, hey, hey!
1423
01:16:40,897 --> 01:16:41,996
You're brave.
1424
01:16:43,399 --> 01:16:45,299
It's because you show
courage today, that
1425
01:16:45,301 --> 01:16:47,802
someone else doesn't suffer
like you did tomorrow.
1426
01:16:49,572 --> 01:16:50,972
You understand?
1427
01:16:53,576 --> 01:16:54,809
Good.
1428
01:16:56,079 --> 01:16:57,211
Good.

Hey, guys. Come on in.
1449
01:17:47,664 --> 01:17:48,963
How you doing, Amy?
1450
01:17:48,965 --> 01:17:50,831
How you doing, Peter?
Good to see you.
1451
01:17:50,833 --> 01:17:52,700
Hey, Dan.
Dan.
1452
01:17:52,702 --> 01:17:54,502
You all right?
Been better.
1453
01:17:54,504 --> 01:17:56,470
How's the clinic?
Busy. Always busy.
1454
01:17:56,472 --> 01:17:58,272
Busy is good.
Yeah.
1455
01:17:58,274 --> 01:17:59,907
Busy is always good.
[laughs]
1456
01:18:01,344 --> 01:18:03,010
Here she is.
1457
01:18:04,814 --> 01:18:06,547
Harriet Wilson.
1458
01:18:06,549 --> 01:18:08,616
You know
Peter and Amy Edgar.
1459
01:18:08,618 --> 01:18:10,284
Good to see you, Amy. Peter.
Good to see you, too.
1460
01:18:10,286 --> 01:18:12,119
Good to see you.
1461
01:18:12,121 --> 01:18:15,189
So we're just, uh, missing
the man of the hour here.
1462
01:18:16,826 --> 01:18:18,626
He should be along here.
1463
01:18:18,628 --> 01:18:19,627
Ah-ha!
1464
01:18:19,629 --> 01:18:21,796
Hey!
Hey. Sorry, sorry.
1465
01:18:21,798 --> 01:18:24,165
I lost track of time.
Lost track at the track.
1466
01:18:24,167 --> 01:18:26,200
Sounds like the Luce I know.
[chuckles]
1467
01:18:26,202 --> 01:18:28,202
How are you?
I'm great, Principal Towson.
1468
01:18:28,204 --> 01:18:29,837
How are you?
Principal Towson.
1469
01:18:29,839 --> 01:18:32,406
Notice he's all formal
now that he's a senior.
1470
01:18:32,408 --> 01:18:34,041
Getting ready
for college, right?
1471
01:18:34,043 --> 01:18:37,311
That's right.
Smart man. Smart man.
1472
01:18:37,313 --> 01:18:39,113
Have a seat, guys.
Come on, sit down.
1473
01:18:40,683 --> 01:18:42,216
[sighs]
1474
01:18:42,218 --> 01:18:43,350
So...
I'd like to...
1475
01:18:43,352 --> 01:18:44,318
[crosstalk]
1476
01:18:45,254 --> 01:18:46,721
Go ahead.
You first.
1477
01:18:46,723 --> 01:18:49,490
Well, I guess
first things first.
1478
01:18:49,492 --> 01:18:53,027
There have been a series
of miscommunications
1479
01:18:53,029 --> 01:18:56,597
and I think rather than try
to hash all that out,
1480
01:18:56,599 --> 01:19:01,202
it's probably more productive
to just acknowledge
1481
01:19:01,204 --> 01:19:03,671
some tension has developed
between Luce and me.
1482
01:19:03,673 --> 01:19:05,206
MS. WILSON:
It happens.
1483
01:19:05,208 --> 01:19:07,241
Signals get crossed
and we have to find
1484
01:19:07,243 --> 01:19:09,043
a way to untangle the knots,
1485
01:19:09,045 --> 01:19:12,179
even if we're not sure how those
knots got there in first place.
1486
01:19:12,181 --> 01:19:13,414
LUCE:
Definitely. And, um.
1487
01:19:13,416 --> 01:19:15,583
Um, I just want to apologize
1488
01:19:15,585 --> 01:19:18,052
for making you feel
disrespected.
1489
01:19:18,054 --> 01:19:19,720
I've taken on a lot
this semester,
1490
01:19:19,722 --> 01:19:22,356
and not that that's an excuse,
it's not but...
1491
01:19:22,358 --> 01:19:25,993
I haven't been my best self
lately and I'm sorry for that.
1492
01:19:28,264 --> 01:19:29,864
Thank you, Luce.
You're welcome.
1493
01:19:31,367 --> 01:19:33,300
This is going really
well, I think, so far.
1494
01:19:33,302 --> 01:19:34,902
Let's talk about
the threat.
1495
01:19:34,904 --> 01:19:37,104
Oh, I'm sorry for that too,
Ms. Wilson.
1496
01:19:37,106 --> 01:19:38,105
Sorry?
1497
01:19:38,107 --> 01:19:39,473
Are you admitting it now?
1498
01:19:39,475 --> 01:19:40,975
Like I was saying, uh,
1499
01:19:40,977 --> 01:19:42,643
given the stress
I've been under,
1500
01:19:42,645 --> 01:19:44,612
I'm sure what I said
sounded a bit--
1501
01:19:44,614 --> 01:19:47,548
No, no, no. I'm sorry,
but this isn't about some
1502
01:19:47,550 --> 01:19:49,750
stress-induced
problem of tone.
1503
01:19:49,752 --> 01:19:50,985
This is about
one person
1504
01:19:50,987 --> 01:19:52,586
suggesting violence
against another.
1505
01:19:52,588 --> 01:19:54,488
Excuse me?
You weren't there, Mr. Edgar.
1506
01:19:54,490 --> 01:19:56,724
There are interactions
that must be experienced
1507
01:19:56,726 --> 01:19:58,325
in order to appreciate
their intent.
1508
01:19:58,327 --> 01:19:59,827
Respectfully,
1509
01:19:59,829 --> 01:20:02,062
I think you should choose
your words more carefully.
1510
01:20:02,064 --> 01:20:04,565
My son has just apologized.
Has he?
1511
01:20:04,567 --> 01:20:07,501
I-I think in the interest
of moving forward, Harriet,
1512
01:20:07,503 --> 01:20:10,171
it would be helpful for you to
acknowledge Luce did in fact
1513
01:20:10,173 --> 01:20:12,573
apologize.
Where were you last night?
1514
01:20:12,575 --> 01:20:15,776
LUCE: What?
My home was vandalized.
1515
01:20:15,778 --> 01:20:17,178
Uh, just a second--
1516
01:20:17,180 --> 01:20:18,612
I want to know
where you were between
1517
01:20:18,614 --> 01:20:20,481
when school let out
and I got back to my house.
1518
01:20:20,483 --> 01:20:22,917
I was out.
Where?
1519
01:20:22,919 --> 01:20:24,351
Is my son being
accused of a crime?
1520
01:20:24,353 --> 01:20:25,786
He sure as hell
is about to be.
1521
01:20:25,788 --> 01:20:27,087
Because if he is,
1522
01:20:27,089 --> 01:20:28,589
if he is being
accused of a crime,
1523
01:20:28,591 --> 01:20:29,757
I want a lawyer.
1524
01:20:29,759 --> 01:20:31,025
It's fine.
I didn't do anything.
1525
01:20:31,027 --> 01:20:32,693
This woman's sister,
1526
01:20:32,695 --> 01:20:35,296
this woman's sister has just
gone through a very public
1527
01:20:35,298 --> 01:20:37,665
mental breakdown.
All right.
1528
01:20:37,667 --> 01:20:39,266
How do you know
she's not responsible?
1529
01:20:39,268 --> 01:20:40,634
My sister wouldn't do that.
Neither would my son.
1530
01:20:40,636 --> 01:20:41,635
All right, okay.
1531
01:20:41,637 --> 01:20:43,771
Everybody just... Luce,
1532
01:20:44,774 --> 01:20:46,473
Can you help us out here?
1533
01:20:46,475 --> 01:20:48,576
Can you tell us where you
were after school yesterday?
1534
01:20:51,147 --> 01:20:52,646
I don't want to say.
Where were you?
1535
01:20:56,285 --> 01:20:57,852
With friends.
MS. WILSON: Who?
1536
01:20:59,722 --> 01:21:01,021
See, he's lying, Dan.
1537
01:21:01,023 --> 01:21:02,690
Harriet!
1538
01:21:02,692 --> 01:21:04,291
Principal Towson,
I can explain where I was
1539
01:21:04,293 --> 01:21:06,627
but I do not want to
get people in trouble.
1540
01:21:06,629 --> 01:21:08,562
I respect
your discretion, but,
1541
01:21:08,564 --> 01:21:10,798
Luce, your mom,
your dad, Ms. Wilson,
1542
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:15,169
we're all just trying to pin
down what's going on here, okay?
1543
01:21:15,171 --> 01:21:17,905
And if you know anything,
if you could help us with that,
1544
01:21:17,907 --> 01:21:19,540
it's-it's only going
to help you.
1545
01:21:21,010 --> 01:21:22,543
It's embarrassing for me.
1546
01:21:22,545 --> 01:21:24,144
[scoffs]
You gotta be kidding.
1547
01:21:24,146 --> 01:21:25,746
Harriet.
1548
01:21:28,384 --> 01:21:29,917
DAN:
Go ahead, Luce.
1549
01:21:39,729 --> 01:21:42,196
Please don't tell anyone
I'm showing you this.
1550
01:21:42,198 --> 01:21:43,664
It's a violation of trust.
1551
01:21:49,772 --> 01:21:52,406
Yeah! What up?
1552
01:21:52,408 --> 01:21:54,341

I don't want them
to get in trouble.

DAN:
No one's gonna get in trouble.
1558
01:22:16,198 --> 01:22:17,698
All right, you guys
are good kids.
1559
01:22:17,700 --> 01:22:18,966
We all know that.
This is bullshit.
1560
01:22:18,968 --> 01:22:20,567
Hey, Harriet.
Excuse me.
1561
01:22:20,569 --> 01:22:21,535
Harriet!
1562
01:22:22,238 --> 01:22:23,337
Harriet!
1563
01:22:28,077 --> 01:22:29,043
Steph--
1564
01:22:32,148 --> 01:22:34,581
I think that's
a really good choice for you.
1565
01:22:34,583 --> 01:22:37,151
I know it wasn't on your
original list but I--
1566
01:22:38,754 --> 01:22:40,421
You told her
to come to me.
1567
01:22:40,423 --> 01:22:42,723
LUCE: I'm sorry?
You told her what to say.
1568
01:22:42,725 --> 01:22:44,391
Dan, what is she talking about?
1569
01:22:44,393 --> 01:22:45,960
DAN:
Please, explain, Harriet.
1570
01:22:45,962 --> 01:22:48,329
I think Ms. Wilson's
just been through a lot.
1571
01:22:48,331 --> 01:22:51,098
Between what's happened
with her sister's breakdown
1572
01:22:51,100 --> 01:22:52,766
and someone
vandalizing her house.
1573
01:22:52,768 --> 01:22:53,968
She's confused.
1574
01:22:53,970 --> 01:22:56,570
Right, Ms. Wilson?
You're confused.
1575
01:22:56,572 --> 01:22:58,339
Luce, I'm going to need you
to step out for a moment.
1576
01:22:58,341 --> 01:23:00,774
LUCE:
I thought this meeting
was to get together
1577
01:23:00,776 --> 01:23:01,976
and figure things out.
1578
01:23:01,978 --> 01:23:03,844
I need to speak
with your parents
1579
01:23:03,846 --> 01:23:06,647
and Principal Towson alone.
Please.
1580
01:23:07,984 --> 01:23:09,750
Sure.
AMY: No.
1581
01:23:09,752 --> 01:23:10,918
He can stay.
1582
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:11,986
Whatever you have
to say to us,
1583
01:23:11,988 --> 01:23:13,654
you can say
in front of him.
1584
01:23:15,257 --> 01:23:18,492
Your son brought illegal
fireworks onto school property.
1585
01:23:18,494 --> 01:23:20,127
DAN: Excuse me?
I searches Luce's locker
1586
01:23:20,129 --> 01:23:21,495
and I found illegal fireworks.
1587
01:23:21,497 --> 01:23:23,330
Why didn't you tell
me this, Harriet?
1588
01:23:23,332 --> 01:23:26,600
AMY: Well, hold on.
The kids share lockers, right?
1589
01:23:26,602 --> 01:23:29,837
Well, it makes sense that given
the kind of student Luce is
1590
01:23:29,839 --> 01:23:31,939
someone would think his
was the safe hiding place.
1591
01:23:31,941 --> 01:23:34,108
The fireworks could have
belonged to anyone.
1592
01:23:35,277 --> 01:23:36,543
LUCE:
I've learned my lesson.
1593
01:23:36,545 --> 01:23:37,945
I'm going to change
my combination
1594
01:23:37,947 --> 01:23:40,147
and we won't share
lockers anymore.
1595
01:23:40,149 --> 01:23:43,684
Okay. Harriet,
where are the fireworks now?
1596
01:23:45,287 --> 01:23:46,286
Amy?
1597
01:23:47,456 --> 01:23:48,422
Yes?
1598
01:23:49,125 --> 01:23:50,557
Where are they?
1599
01:23:50,559 --> 01:23:53,193
AMY: What do you mean?
I gave them to you.
1600
01:23:55,998 --> 01:23:58,032
I don't know what
she's talking about.
1601
01:23:58,034 --> 01:23:59,366
MS. WILSON:
What?
1602
01:23:59,368 --> 01:24:00,968
Nope. She called me
1603
01:24:00,970 --> 01:24:02,536
and she claimed
she found these fireworks.
1604
01:24:02,538 --> 01:24:04,204
She claimed my son
threatened her.
1605
01:24:04,206 --> 01:24:05,706
Amy!
And then she drags us
1606
01:24:05,708 --> 01:24:07,875
down here in front of you,
Dan, and threatens
1607
01:24:07,877 --> 01:24:09,309
legal action
against my son
1608
01:24:09,311 --> 01:24:11,311
for a crime he clearly
didn't commit.
1609
01:24:11,313 --> 01:24:13,680
I mean, I'm sorry
but are we done here?
1610
01:24:13,682 --> 01:24:15,249
Can my son go back to
being the student he was
1611
01:24:15,251 --> 01:24:17,818
before this woman
decided to go after him
1612
01:24:17,820 --> 01:24:19,853
on some kind of insane
witch hunt?
1613
01:24:19,855 --> 01:24:21,088
No, Peter...
1614
01:24:21,857 --> 01:24:23,657
I think
1615
01:24:23,659 --> 01:24:26,427
we're done here,
Harriet.
1616
01:24:26,429 --> 01:24:28,729
No, no, no. Dan...
1617
01:24:28,731 --> 01:24:29,730
Yeah, Harriet.
1618
01:24:29,732 --> 01:24:32,499
We're done.
We are done.
1619
01:24:32,501 --> 01:24:34,168
Amy, Peter,
thank you for coming.
1620
01:24:34,170 --> 01:24:37,237
I'm very sorry about this.
I will make it up to you.
1621
01:24:37,239 --> 01:24:39,940
I promise.
Luce, thank you.
1622
01:24:39,942 --> 01:24:41,842
Good night, Principal Towson.
Thank you.
1623
01:24:41,844 --> 01:24:43,510
All right, Ms. Wilson...
1624
01:24:44,346 --> 01:24:45,345
Dan,
1625
01:24:45,347 --> 01:24:46,580
Stephanie Kim was in my office.
1626
01:24:46,582 --> 01:24:48,248
Just don't say anything.
No, Dan--
1627
01:24:48,250 --> 01:24:51,118
We're going to talk
tomorrow. okay?
1628
01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:52,820
It's okay, we'll talk tomorrow.
No.

PETER:
No, I'm good.
1632

Is he mad at me?
No, he's fine.

He's just...

Are you hungry?
1635
01:25:33,596 --> 01:25:35,462
I should probably
get to my speech.
1636
01:25:35,464 --> 01:25:39,099
Okay. Well, can't
wait to hear it.
1637

We'll start with

Really?

No, if you're accusing him,

just think carefully about
who's side you're on.

To how hard
I've worked?

at life, at success?

1751
01:33:05,514 --> 01:33:07,180
They weren't jealous.
1752
01:33:08,684 --> 01:33:10,784
They were just trying
to figure it out.
1753
01:33:11,587 --> 01:33:13,286
How do I get that?
1754
01:33:15,290 --> 01:33:17,591
And all I can think about
was Deshaun.
1755
01:33:17,593 --> 01:33:19,926
All he had was that
athletic scholarship
1756
01:33:19,928 --> 01:33:21,595
and you took it
from him.
1757
01:33:21,597 --> 01:33:23,396
You took it from him
because he wasn't me.
1758
01:33:23,398 --> 01:33:25,031
Yes.
Why?
1759
01:33:25,033 --> 01:33:27,367
Because for every Deshaun
Meeks I don't come down on,
1760
01:33:27,369 --> 01:33:29,035
there's a Luce Edgar
I can't lift out.
1761
01:33:29,037 --> 01:33:30,537
That's bullshit.
1762
01:33:30,539 --> 01:33:32,138
Why do we have to be
perfect to be accepted?
1763
01:33:32,140 --> 01:33:33,740
Boy, that's our life!
1764
01:33:33,742 --> 01:33:35,542
No, you're so
desperate for approval
1765
01:33:35,544 --> 01:33:36,977
that you'll eat your own
just to get it.
1766
01:33:36,979 --> 01:33:38,612
Whose approval?
Who do you think?
1767
01:33:40,549 --> 01:33:43,316
Everyone who made you feel like
being black wasn't good enough.
1768
01:33:45,387 --> 01:33:47,721
But I don't need their approval.
I'm not going to be
1769
01:33:47,723 --> 01:33:50,423
somebody's symbol just to
make them feel better.
1770
01:33:50,425 --> 01:33:52,692
You still don't get it.
1771
01:33:53,629 --> 01:33:55,629
You don't get it.
1772
01:33:55,631 --> 01:33:58,765
It's not just about you
and it's not about me.
1773
01:33:58,767 --> 01:34:02,969
America put you in a box.
1774
01:34:02,971 --> 01:34:06,606
And it's tight and it's dirty
and you can't move.
1775
01:34:06,608 --> 01:34:08,808
But guess what? Too bad.
1776
01:34:08,810 --> 01:34:12,145
We're all in there together,
whether you like it or not.
1777
01:34:13,682 --> 01:34:18,418
And only so much light
gets in that box, Luce.
1778
01:34:19,921 --> 01:34:22,522
Some people get it,
and some people don't.
1779
01:34:22,524 --> 01:34:24,991
But it's not on you to decide
who gets it and who doesn't.
1780
01:34:24,993 --> 01:34:27,394
You're damn right
it's on you!
1781
01:34:29,031 --> 01:34:30,430
It's on you.
1782
01:34:31,633 --> 01:34:35,635
After all,
who did you use to
1783
01:34:35,637 --> 01:34:39,706
do your little errands while you
were busy establishing alibis?
1784
01:34:41,109 --> 01:34:42,676
[Luce whimpers]
1785
01:34:45,781 --> 01:34:47,247
It's not the same thing.
1786
01:34:47,783 --> 01:34:48,748
Hm!
1787
01:34:50,018 --> 01:34:51,751
You got a lot to learn,
little man.
1788
01:34:53,622 --> 01:34:57,090
Now you get the fuck
out of my house.
1789
01:34:59,561 --> 01:35:01,227
Get out of my house!
1790
01:35:06,868 --> 01:35:10,904
[door opens and closes]
1791
01:35:13,075 --> 01:35:15,341
[insects chirping]
1792
01:35:15,343 --> 01:35:18,411
[low airy music]
1793
01:35:40,569 --> 01:35:43,269
[birds chirping]
1794
01:36:03,725 --> 01:36:06,126
Shit! Shit!
1795
01:36:25,714 --> 01:36:28,948
[children's voices playing]
1796
01:36:41,329 --> 01:36:43,296
[basketballs bouncing]
1797
01:37:08,623 --> 01:37:11,758
[music grows tense]
1798
01:37:55,971 --> 01:37:58,404
[heavy moaning]
1799
01:38:12,153 --> 01:38:15,922
[moaning continues]
1800
01:38:29,371 --> 01:38:30,970
[door opens]
1801
01:38:55,630 --> 01:38:58,131
[items clattering]
1802
01:39:15,550 --> 01:39:16,816
[door opens]
1803
01:39:23,258 --> 01:39:24,691
[door closes]
1804
01:39:27,429 --> 01:39:29,662
[footsteps approach]
1805
01:39:35,904 --> 01:39:37,070
Hey.
1806
01:39:39,941 --> 01:39:41,007
Hey.
1807
01:39:53,588 --> 01:39:55,855
[items clattering]
1808
01:40:04,099 --> 01:40:05,898
Are you hiding
Christmas presents?
1809
01:40:08,937 --> 01:40:11,771
That's where you used
to hide my Christmas presents.
1810
01:40:15,443 --> 01:40:17,377
You were always
so surprised.
1811
01:40:19,047 --> 01:40:21,047
I'm good at
acting surprised.
1812
01:40:22,717 --> 01:40:23,850
[Luce gasps]
1813
01:40:26,154 --> 01:40:27,120
[Luce chuckles]
1814
01:40:32,694 --> 01:40:34,427
[zipper unzips]
1815
01:40:38,166 --> 01:40:39,632
Here.
1816
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:13,466
LUCE: Remember Dennis?
1817
01:41:14,269 --> 01:41:15,601
AMY:
Yeah.
1818
01:41:17,539 --> 01:41:19,806
Of course
I remember Dennis.
1819
01:41:23,344 --> 01:41:25,478
I thought
we could try again.
1820
01:41:31,386 --> 01:41:33,152
Thanks...
1821
01:41:35,023 --> 01:41:36,456
Mom.
1822
01:41:42,964 --> 01:41:45,798
You have your whole
future ahead of you.
1823
01:41:47,435 --> 01:41:49,202
Full of potential.
1824
01:41:51,940 --> 01:41:53,539
Hope you're right.
1825
01:41:54,409 --> 01:41:55,875
I know I'm right, honey.
1826
01:41:58,313 --> 01:41:59,946
I know.
1827
01:42:03,785 --> 01:42:05,318
[sniffles]
1828
01:42:08,890 --> 01:42:10,990
[weeps]
1829
01:42:18,800 --> 01:42:23,136
[applause]
1830
01:42:35,850 --> 01:42:37,917
Hi, everyone.
1831
01:42:37,919 --> 01:42:41,254
I want thank Principal Towson
for giving me this opportunity.
1832
01:42:41,256 --> 01:42:43,990
It means a lot to be able
to talk with each of you
1833
01:42:43,992 --> 01:42:45,658
about my story,
1834
01:42:45,660 --> 01:42:47,660
which I'm told
is pretty unique,
1835
01:42:47,662 --> 01:42:49,695
even though I still feel
pretty regular.
1836
01:42:51,799 --> 01:42:56,536
I'm lucky enough to have
two amazing parents
1837
01:42:56,538 --> 01:42:57,937
who when they saw
my picture
1838
01:42:57,939 --> 01:43:00,439
at seven years old
weren't scared.
1839
01:43:00,441 --> 01:43:03,643
Or if they were they did a
good job of hiding it because
1840
01:43:03,645 --> 01:43:06,179
the parents I grew up with were
nothing but loving and brave.
1841
01:43:06,181 --> 01:43:08,080
AUDIENCE:
Aww!
1842
01:43:09,984 --> 01:43:12,885
I came here
to America,
1843
01:43:13,821 --> 01:43:15,188
to this school,
1844
01:43:16,157 --> 01:43:17,790
and I found myself.
1845
01:43:20,695 --> 01:43:24,697
When I first met my mother,
she couldn't pronounce my name.
1846
01:43:24,699 --> 01:43:27,533
She tried over and over
to get the emphasis
1847
01:43:27,535 --> 01:43:30,203
on the syllables correct,
but she just couldn't
1848
01:43:30,205 --> 01:43:33,206
so my father suggested
that they rename me.
1849
01:43:34,542 --> 01:43:37,977
They picked Luce,
which means light.
1850
01:43:39,013 --> 01:43:40,646
Because my mom always said that
1851
01:43:40,648 --> 01:43:43,516
there was a little beam
of light shone inside me.
1852
01:43:43,518 --> 01:43:45,051
If only they could
sweep the darkness
1853
01:43:45,053 --> 01:43:46,619
of those first
seven years away.
1854
01:43:48,323 --> 01:43:50,089
I thought of that
as I was figuring out
1855
01:43:50,091 --> 01:43:52,158
what to say to you all tonight.
1856
01:43:54,095 --> 01:43:58,497
And I realized how lucky
I am to be an American.
1857
01:44:01,569 --> 01:44:03,769
Because here I got
the chance to start over.
1858
01:44:05,406 --> 01:44:08,040
Here we get to be who we are
and still be accepted
1859
01:44:08,042 --> 01:44:09,175
despite our flaws.
1860
01:44:10,511 --> 01:44:12,345
Here we get to tell
our own story.
1861
01:44:14,882 --> 01:44:16,215
This is mine.
1862
01:44:16,217 --> 01:44:17,850
[low airy music]
1863
01:44:19,120 --> 01:44:20,886
When they first told me
my new name,
1864
01:44:20,888 --> 01:44:22,955
I was still just
learning English,
1865
01:44:22,957 --> 01:44:24,624
so I took it to be
the word "loose,"
1866
01:44:24,626 --> 01:44:27,593
L-O-O-S-E,
[audience laughs]
1867
01:44:27,595 --> 01:44:29,562
which is defined
as something detachable,
1868
01:44:29,564 --> 01:44:32,531
not easily fixed in
place, or pinned down...
1869
01:44:32,533 --> 01:44:34,333
[airy music continues]
1870
01:44:45,647 --> 01:44:47,980
[inaudible]
1871

01:45:05,300 --> 01:45:08,401
