- 00:01:06,156 --> 00:01:07,555
- So even though
- 3
- 00:01:07,557 --> 00:01:09,222
- it appears as if
- an evening like this
- 4
- 00:01:09,224 --> 00:01:11,721
- is meant to honor us
- for our academic achievements,
- 5
- 00:01:11,723 --> 00:01:14,554
- I instead ask
- my fellow classmates
- 6
- 00:01:14,556 --> 00:01:16,722
- to honor the generals
- that lead us.
- 7
- 00:01:16,724 --> 00:01:19,055
- Without our parents
- and our teachers,
- 8
- 00:01:19,057 --> 00:01:21,222
- we would be troops
- unprepared for the battles
- 9
- 00:01:21,224 --> 00:01:23,091
- that lay ahead of us.
- 10
- 00:01:24,156 --> 00:01:26,424
- We know the road won't be easy.
- 11
- 00:01:27,790 --> 00:01:30,154
- But with your love
- and your faith,
- 12
- 00:01:30,156 --> 00:01:31,991
- we can be certain
- we'll find a way.
- 13
- 00:01:33,623 --> 00:01:35,755
- So I hope it's not going
- too far out of line
- 14
- 00:01:35,757 --> 00:01:37,625
- to ask my classmates to rise...
- 15
- 00:01:39,122 --> 00:01:43,588
- and to take this opportunity
- to thank you...
- 16
- 00:01:43,590 --> 00:01:45,821
- our teachers...
- 17
- 00:01:45,823 --> 00:01:47,588
- and our parents...
- 18
- 00:01:47,590 --> 00:01:50,888
- for helping us become
- who we're meant to be.
- 19
- 00:02:03,157 --> 00:02:05,820
- I hope you enjoyed that
- because tomorrow
- 20
- 00:02:05,822 --> 00:02:07,622
- we'll be back
- to driving you crazy.
- 21
- 00:02:10,822 --> 00:02:12,188
- It was incredible.
- 22
- 00:02:12,190 --> 00:02:14,555
- Here's my question:
- How do we clone this guy?
- 23
- 00:02:14,557 --> 00:02:16,589
- How do we clone him?
- 24
- 00:02:16,591 --> 00:02:17,654
- Great job.
- 25
- 00:02:17,656 --> 00:02:19,254
- - Thank you.
- - Excuse me.
- 26
- 00:02:19,256 --> 00:02:21,489
- - Mr. and Mr. Edgar?
- - Ms. Wilson!
- 27
- 00:02:21,491 --> 00:02:22,855
- Guys, this is Ms. Wilson,
- 28
- 00:02:22,857 --> 00:02:24,588
- my history
- and government teacher.
- 29
- 00:02:24,590 --> 00:02:25,888
- A pleasure.
- 30
- 00:02:25,890 --> 00:02:27,488
- We've heard
- so much about you.
- 31
- 00:02:27,490 --> 00:02:29,188
- - Have you?
- - Well, your class.
- 32
- 00:02:29,190 --> 00:02:31,087
- Luce can't stop
- talking about it.
- 33
- 00:02:31,089 --> 00:02:32,787
- Is that so?
- 34
- 00:02:32,789 --> 00:02:35,488
- Ms. Wilson's tough,
- but still one of my favorites.
- 35
- 00:02:35,490 --> 00:02:36,622
- Did you like my speech?
- 36
- 00:02:36,624 --> 00:02:37,722
- I did.
- 37
- 00:02:37,724 --> 00:02:39,088
- Ms. Wilson's
- always saying
- 38
- 00:02:39,090 --> 00:02:41,154
- we should speak our minds
- no matter the cost.
- 39
- 00:02:41,156 --> 00:02:43,055
- Amen to that.
- 40
- 00:02:43,057 --> 00:02:45,088
- Well, it's great
- to finally meet you.
- 41
- 00:02:45,090 --> 00:02:47,188
- You too.
- 42
- 00:02:47,190 --> 00:02:49,589
- Luce is, uh, one of our best.
- 43
- 00:02:49,591 --> 00:02:51,954
- He's an important
- example to the school.
- 44
- 00:02:51,956 --> 00:02:53,087
- We're very
- proud of him.
- 45
- 00:02:53,089 --> 00:02:54,688
- You should be.
- 46
- 00:02:57,524 --> 00:02:59,424
- Excuse me. Dan...
- 47
- 00:03:01,123 --> 00:03:03,054
- I don't want
- to give another one.
- 48
- 00:03:03,056 --> 00:03:05,588
- Why? It makes sense
- they asked you.
- 49
- 00:03:05,590 --> 00:03:06,854
- You did
- a great job.
- 50
- 00:03:06,856 --> 00:03:08,754
- I literally just
- gave a speech.
- 51
- 00:03:08,756 --> 00:03:10,654
- The more public
- speaking you do,
- 52
- 00:03:10,656 --> 00:03:12,123
- the better it'll look
- for college.
- 53
- 00:03:13,591 --> 00:03:15,024
- You told them you'd do it,
- right?
- 54
- 00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:18,489
- What do you think?
- 55
- 00:03:20,690 --> 00:03:22,424
- So Ms. Wilson seems nice.
- 56
- 00:03:23,524 --> 00:03:25,187
- Stern...
- 57
- 00:03:25,189 --> 00:03:27,188
- - Don't you mean a bitch?
- - Peter!
- 58
- 00:03:27,190 --> 00:03:30,154
- When people say stern, they
- mean bitch. You meant bitch.
- 59
- 00:03:30,156 --> 00:03:32,054
- - You didn't want to say bitch
- - No, I said stern.
- 60
- 00:03:32,056 --> 00:03:34,554
- because you didn't want
- to be politically incorrect
- 61
- 00:03:34,556 --> 00:03:36,087
- - but you meant bitch.
- - No.
- 62
- 00:03:36,089 --> 00:03:38,020
- I know what stern
- means, thank you.
- 63
- 00:03:38,022 --> 00:03:39,221
- She is a bitch though.
- 64
- 00:03:39,223 --> 00:03:40,721
- Can we not denigrate a woman
- 65
- 00:03:40,723 --> 00:03:42,720
- who probably had
- to assume characteristics
- 66
- 00:03:42,722 --> 00:03:44,687
- in order to attain
- 67
- 00:03:44,689 --> 00:03:47,489
- a leadership role?
- 68
- 00:03:47,491 --> 00:03:50,020
- Anyway, I thought you said
- it was your favorite class.
- 69
- 00:03:50,022 --> 00:03:52,787
- - I like the subject.
- - He liked the subject.
- 70
- 00:03:52,789 --> 00:03:55,621
- In spite of
- the bitch thing.
- 71
- 00:03:55,623 --> 00:03:58,888
- Okay, it's fine to
- criticize powerful women.
- 72
- 00:03:58,890 --> 00:04:02,020
- Just don't use
- the sexist language.
- 73
- 00:04:02,022 --> 00:04:03,891
- Strung together copy.
- 74
- 00:04:05,224 --> 00:04:07,788
- Oh! Nice!
- 75
- 00:04:28,189 --> 00:04:30,521
- You should make it
- personal.
- 76
- 00:04:30,523 --> 00:04:31,887
- What?
- 77
- 00:04:31,889 --> 00:04:33,554
- The next speech
- they want you to give,
- 78
- 00:04:33,556 --> 00:04:34,656
- make it about you.
- 79
- 00:04:36,524 --> 00:04:37,824
- Okay.
- 80
- 00:04:39,524 --> 00:04:40,656
- And listen...
- 81
- 00:04:42,890 --> 00:04:44,920
- You're a really good
- public speaker
- 82
- 00:04:44,922 --> 00:04:47,488
- and you're an
- excellent debater.
- 83
- 00:04:47,490 --> 00:04:49,120
- But you have
- your own story to tell
- 84
- 00:04:49,122 --> 00:04:50,721
- and I think
- you should tell it.
- 85
- 00:04:50,723 --> 00:04:52,957
- It gives people
- something to grab onto.
- 86
- 00:04:54,856 --> 00:04:56,524
- Am I overstepping?
- 87
- 00:04:57,990 --> 00:04:59,757
- It's good advice.
- 88
- 00:05:00,689 --> 00:05:01,920
- Just want to be helpful.
- 89
- 00:05:01,922 --> 00:05:02,655
- You are.
- 90
- 00:05:05,056 --> 00:05:06,756
- I'm going to get
- back to work now.
- 91
- 00:05:08,823 --> 00:05:09,791
- Okay.
- 92
- 00:05:15,922 --> 00:05:17,689
- Sorry for interrupting.
- 93
- 00:06:08,014 --> 00:06:09,478
- Whoa!
- 94
- 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:10,980
- You're gonna lose
- a limb like that.
- 95
- 00:06:10,982 --> 00:06:12,713
- See my trig textbook?
- I stashed it here yesterday.
- 96
- 00:06:12,715 --> 00:06:14,646
- No, it's not here, Orlicki.
- 97
- 00:06:14,648 --> 00:06:15,946
- - Fuck me.
- - You do realize
- 98
- 00:06:15,948 --> 00:06:17,679
- everyone gets their
- own locker, right?
- 99
- 00:06:17,681 --> 00:06:19,113
- Mine's on the other
- side of the building,
- 100
- 00:06:19,115 --> 00:06:22,679
- - makes me late all the time.
- - Ah, shit! Orlicki!
- 101
- 00:06:22,681 --> 00:06:25,780
- Heard our boy here got asked to
- give another speech last night?
- 102
- 00:06:25,782 --> 00:06:27,578
- - Seriously?
- - Oh, motherfucking
- 103
- 00:06:27,580 --> 00:06:29,513
- Nelson Mandela over here!
- 104
- 00:06:29,515 --> 00:06:31,013
- I don't get why
- I never get asked.
- 105
- 00:06:31,015 --> 00:06:32,612
- 'cause you're a C+ student.
- 106
- 00:06:32,614 --> 00:06:34,845
- The entire speech would be
- about porn and blunts.
- 107
- 00:06:34,847 --> 00:06:36,512
- Ah! Fair enough.
- 108
- 00:06:36,514 --> 00:06:38,179
- Ah! Ah! Ah!
- 109
- 00:06:38,181 --> 00:06:40,579
- Oh, shit! Check it out!
- 110
- 00:06:40,581 --> 00:06:41,812
- Hey, yo, ladies!
- 111
- 00:06:41,814 --> 00:06:44,415
- - Stephanie Kim, what's good?
- - Let's go.
- 112
- 00:06:45,648 --> 00:06:47,445
- Why you staring at Luce,
- Stephanie?
- 113
- 00:06:47,447 --> 00:06:48,612
- I'm talking to you.
- 114
- 00:06:48,614 --> 00:06:50,147
- Not everyone likes
- your big mouth.
- 115
- 00:06:50,149 --> 00:06:51,545
- Your mama does.
- 116
- 00:06:51,547 --> 00:06:52,846
- She loves my big mouth.
- 117
- 00:06:52,848 --> 00:06:54,613
- Loves it all
- over that pussy!
- 118
- 00:06:54,615 --> 00:06:56,845
- Man, you're so gross!
- 119
- 00:06:56,847 --> 00:06:58,612
- Sorry, bro.
- 120
- 00:06:58,614 --> 00:07:00,646
- Hey yo, I'll see you
- all at practice.
- 121
- 00:07:03,415 --> 00:07:05,545
- A law is a law.
- 122
- 00:07:05,547 --> 00:07:07,713
- Pole-tests used to be law.
- 123
- 00:07:07,715 --> 00:07:09,745
- So was segregation.
- Red lining.
- 124
- 00:07:09,747 --> 00:07:11,546
- That's not the same.
- 125
- 00:07:11,548 --> 00:07:12,980
- Explain why.
- 126
- 00:07:12,982 --> 00:07:14,546
- It's just not.
- 127
- 00:07:14,548 --> 00:07:16,013
- Things were
- different back then.
- 128
- 00:07:16,015 --> 00:07:17,446
- Different how?
- 129
- 00:07:17,448 --> 00:07:19,579
- Well, like that was
- a different time.
- 130
- 00:07:19,581 --> 00:07:20,912
- Social norms were different.
- 131
- 00:07:20,914 --> 00:07:22,545
- People's expectations,
- 132
- 00:07:22,547 --> 00:07:23,715
- their attitudes...
- 133
- 00:07:30,515 --> 00:07:32,448
- Is this not important to you?
- 134
- 00:07:34,681 --> 00:07:35,615
- Well?
- 135
- 00:07:36,547 --> 00:07:37,813
- It is.
- 136
- 00:07:37,815 --> 00:07:39,912
- You might want
- to speak more clearly.
- 137
- 00:07:39,914 --> 00:07:40,949
- I can't hear you.
- 138
- 00:07:42,815 --> 00:07:44,513
- It is.
- 139
- 00:07:44,515 --> 00:07:47,712
- Keep in mind,
- that for her,
- 140
- 00:07:47,714 --> 00:07:49,746
- this knowledge is
- incidental but for you
- 141
- 00:07:49,748 --> 00:07:51,446
- it can be
- life or death.
- 142
- 00:07:51,448 --> 00:07:54,112
- So you might want
- to treat this material
- 143
- 00:07:54,114 --> 00:07:57,015
- with the seriousness
- it deserves, Mr. Meeks.
- 144
- 00:08:05,747 --> 00:08:09,613
- Which reminds me,
- I'm almost done
- 145
- 00:08:09,615 --> 00:08:11,678
- grading your assignments.
- I apologize,
- 146
- 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,746
- it's taking me a little
- longer than usual but,
- 147
- 00:08:13,748 --> 00:08:15,012
- you'll have them
- back soon.
- 148
- 00:08:17,514 --> 00:08:19,880
- All right...
- 149
- 00:08:19,882 --> 00:08:21,116
- Yo, Deshaun...
- 150
- 00:08:23,481 --> 00:08:24,881
- Yo, Deshaun!
- 151
- 00:08:35,982 --> 00:08:38,581
- Let's have a look in here.
- Okay...
- 152
- 00:08:40,415 --> 00:08:42,745
- - Let's see...
- - He-he! That feels funny!
- 153
- 00:08:42,747 --> 00:08:44,079
- Oh yeah?
- 154
- 00:08:44,081 --> 00:08:45,478
- What about that?
- 155
- 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,646
- Does that feel funny?
- 156
- 00:08:47,648 --> 00:08:49,612
- Hey.
- 157
- 00:08:49,614 --> 00:08:52,147
- How do you feel about
- a weekend trip to Cornell?
- 158
- 00:08:52,149 --> 00:08:53,912
- - This weekend?
- - Yeah.
- 159
- 00:08:53,914 --> 00:08:56,980
- Maggie's sister said she'd make
- a call and get Luce some
- 160
- 00:08:56,982 --> 00:08:58,945
- one-on-one time
- with the professor.
- 161
- 00:08:58,947 --> 00:09:03,012
- This weekend we have
- the sip-and-see.
- 162
- 00:09:03,014 --> 00:09:05,479
- - Oh my God!
- - If you don't want to go,
- 163
- 00:09:05,481 --> 00:09:07,046
- you should have said, right?
- 164
- 00:09:07,048 --> 00:09:10,079
- Yeah, well, it's not that
- I don't want to go. I mean,
- 165
- 00:09:10,081 --> 00:09:12,845
- - I don't want to go, but...
- - No, you just hate babies.
- 166
- 00:09:12,847 --> 00:09:14,479
- I do not hate babies.
- 167
- 00:09:14,481 --> 00:09:16,512
- I mean, I love babies!
- 168
- 00:09:16,514 --> 00:09:17,813
- But you hate babies.
- 169
- 00:09:17,815 --> 00:09:20,812
- Well, I'm just shocked
- you're prioritizing
- 170
- 00:09:20,814 --> 00:09:23,880
- your ex's sip-and-see over
- your son's college education,
- 171
- 00:09:23,882 --> 00:09:25,412
- but hey, that's just me.
- 172
- 00:09:25,414 --> 00:09:27,512
- Okay. Punchline and point made.
- 173
- 00:09:28,948 --> 00:09:31,013
- Okay, fine.
- You're in charge of picking up
- 174
- 00:09:31,015 --> 00:09:33,745
- whatever someone brings
- to a sip-and-see.
- 175
- 00:09:33,747 --> 00:09:35,812
- Got it. Okay,
- see you at home.
- 176
- 00:09:35,814 --> 00:09:36,748
- See ya.
- 177
- 00:09:42,447 --> 00:09:43,381
- Hello?
- 178
- 00:09:45,048 --> 00:09:46,082
- Yes, this is Amy.
- 179
- 00:09:48,415 --> 00:09:49,348
- On your mark...
- 180
- 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:51,478
- Set...
- 181
- 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:52,478
- Go!
- 182
- 00:10:22,615 --> 00:10:23,782
- Yo!
- 183
- 00:10:26,781 --> 00:10:28,781
- - Mrs. Edgar.
- - Hi.
- 184
- 00:10:30,182 --> 00:10:32,479
- I appreciate you coming
- back down here.
- 185
- 00:10:32,481 --> 00:10:34,845
- Well, you have to make time
- for what's important.
- 186
- 00:10:34,847 --> 00:10:36,079
- Ain't that
- the truth.
- 187
- 00:10:36,081 --> 00:10:39,012
- - Kids are lucky to have you.
- - Thank you.
- 188
- 00:10:39,014 --> 00:10:41,913
- - Luce too.
- - Oh, we're lucky to have him.
- 189
- 00:10:41,915 --> 00:10:44,713
- We care a great deal
- about his success.
- 190
- 00:10:44,715 --> 00:10:47,479
- - Peter and I too.
- - Of course.
- 191
- 00:10:47,481 --> 00:10:50,112
- And I know
- context matters.
- 192
- 00:10:50,114 --> 00:10:51,381
- Please, sit.
- 193
- 00:10:52,715 --> 00:10:55,079
- Given Luce's
- background,
- 194
- 00:10:55,081 --> 00:10:58,746
- you and Peter must have faced
- quite a few challenges.
- 195
- 00:10:58,748 --> 00:11:00,745
- the language barrier,
- the culture shock.
- 196
- 00:11:00,747 --> 00:11:01,980
- He's a resilient kid.
- 197
- 00:11:01,982 --> 00:11:03,880
- He is.
- But it's also
- 198
- 00:11:03,882 --> 00:11:05,446
- a testament to
- your parenting.
- 199
- 00:11:05,448 --> 00:11:07,546
- Well, thank you.
- 200
- 00:11:07,548 --> 00:11:08,780
- We had a lot of support,
- 201
- 00:11:08,782 --> 00:11:11,113
- especially in the
- early days. I mean,
- 202
- 00:11:11,115 --> 00:11:13,012
- you don't pull a kid
- out of a war zone
- 203
- 00:11:13,014 --> 00:11:15,446
- and have him turn out like
- Luce without a lot of help.
- 204
- 00:11:15,448 --> 00:11:16,879
- I bet.
- 205
- 00:11:16,881 --> 00:11:18,881
- Which is why this
- is so difficult.
- 206
- 00:11:19,882 --> 00:11:20,815
- Difficult?
- 207
- 00:11:25,448 --> 00:11:28,512
- Last week, the class
- was given an assignment
- 208
- 00:11:28,514 --> 00:11:31,512
- to write in the voice
- of an historical figure.
- 209
- 00:11:31,514 --> 00:11:35,579
- Some students picked FDR at the
- start of the Great Depression
- 210
- 00:11:35,581 --> 00:11:36,813
- or even Fidel Castro
- 211
- 00:11:36,815 --> 00:11:38,846
- at the Bay of Pigs.
- 212
- 00:11:38,848 --> 00:11:42,445
- The goal was to get them
- to think outside of the box.
- 213
- 00:11:42,447 --> 00:11:44,948
- Want to make sure you understand
- where I'm coming from.
- 214
- 00:11:47,415 --> 00:11:48,515
- Please.
- 215
- 00:12:17,113 --> 00:12:20,112
- Who is this Frantz Fanon?
- 216
- 00:12:20,114 --> 00:12:23,178
- He was a pan-African
- revolutionary.
- 217
- 00:12:23,180 --> 00:12:27,178
- He argued that violence was
- a necessary cleansing force,
- 218
- 00:12:27,180 --> 00:12:29,013
- that it was needed to
- free colonized people
- 219
- 00:12:29,015 --> 00:12:30,179
- from their rulers.
- 220
- 00:12:30,181 --> 00:12:32,615
- - You-you teach this?
- - I don't.
- 221
- 00:12:33,615 --> 00:12:34,845
- Look,
- 222
- 00:12:34,847 --> 00:12:37,579
- I won't pretend
- to know what it's like
- 223
- 00:12:37,581 --> 00:12:40,512
- for Luce to confront
- certain aspects of who he is
- 224
- 00:12:40,514 --> 00:12:42,779
- and it's not
- within my purview
- 225
- 00:12:42,781 --> 00:12:46,111
- to say what a boy who spent
- his first 10 years in...
- 226
- 00:12:46,113 --> 00:12:47,048
- Eritrea.
- 227
- 00:12:48,048 --> 00:12:49,445
- Right.
- 228
- 00:12:49,447 --> 00:12:50,846
- What that might
- have been like,
- 229
- 00:12:50,848 --> 00:12:53,478
- what kind of adjustments
- he must have made
- 230
- 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:54,645
- in order to fit in here.
- 231
- 00:12:54,647 --> 00:12:56,546
- And I don't know
- 232
- 00:12:56,548 --> 00:12:59,012
- - the details of his treatment...
- - I'm sure you've heard
- 233
- 00:12:59,014 --> 00:13:00,813
- he went through
- years of recovery
- 234
- 00:13:00,815 --> 00:13:03,579
- - and he showed no signs of...
- - I-I didn't mean to imply...
- 235
- 00:13:03,581 --> 00:13:05,578
- I just want to be clear
- that whatever
- 236
- 00:13:05,580 --> 00:13:08,846
- violence he both suffered and
- inflicted during that time
- 237
- 00:13:08,848 --> 00:13:11,546
- was dealt with,
- it's been processed.
- 238
- 00:13:11,548 --> 00:13:12,845
- Of course.
- 239
- 00:13:12,847 --> 00:13:15,812
- But with the climate
- around school security
- 240
- 00:13:15,814 --> 00:13:18,746
- the way it is right now,
- you can understand my concern.
- 241
- 00:13:18,748 --> 00:13:20,013
- Yes.
- 242
- 00:13:20,015 --> 00:13:21,445
- Which is why I felt
- 243
- 00:13:21,447 --> 00:13:23,445
- I needed to search
- his locker.
- 244
- 00:13:23,447 --> 00:13:25,446
- - I'm sorry?
- - Amy...
- 245
- 00:13:25,448 --> 00:13:26,745
- He wrote a paper.
- 246
- 00:13:26,747 --> 00:13:28,780
- A paper in which
- he describes
- 247
- 00:13:28,782 --> 00:13:31,179
- his belief that the solution
- to a political problem
- 248
- 00:13:31,181 --> 00:13:33,446
- is to gun down those
- with whom you disagree.
- 249
- 00:13:33,448 --> 00:13:35,111
- Right. But he was
- assuming a character.
- 250
- 00:13:35,113 --> 00:13:37,581
- The assignment called
- for this and you...
- 251
- 00:13:41,581 --> 00:13:43,348
- I found this in his locker.
- 252
- 00:13:47,181 --> 00:13:48,479
- - No.
- - Amy.
- 253
- 00:13:48,481 --> 00:13:49,479
- No, I'm sorry.
- 254
- 00:13:49,481 --> 00:13:51,713
- I respect my son's privacy.
- 255
- 00:13:51,715 --> 00:13:53,846
- Now, he wrote a paper
- that scared you. Fine.
- 256
- 00:13:53,848 --> 00:13:55,012
- That's between
- you and him.
- 257
- 00:13:55,014 --> 00:13:56,813
- But I won't,
- I will not violate
- 258
- 00:13:56,815 --> 00:13:58,913
- his right to the privacy
- he's owed.
- 259
- 00:13:58,915 --> 00:14:00,845
- They're fireworks.
- 260
- 00:14:00,847 --> 00:14:03,446
- Illegal and very dangerous
- fireworks.
- 261
- 00:14:03,448 --> 00:14:05,646
- They could put a hole
- in the wall, let alone...
- 262
- 00:14:05,648 --> 00:14:07,612
- Where are you going with this?
- 263
- 00:14:07,614 --> 00:14:10,012
- Right now I'm the only one
- who knows about them,
- 264
- 00:14:10,014 --> 00:14:12,545
- but what if someone else
- were to find them?
- 265
- 00:14:12,547 --> 00:14:15,579
- If someone who didn't know
- Luce the way you and I do
- 266
- 00:14:15,581 --> 00:14:18,613
- were to stumble on this within
- the context of his background
- 267
- 00:14:18,615 --> 00:14:20,047
- having written this...
- 268
- 00:14:21,013 --> 00:14:21,981
- Take them.
- 269
- 00:14:22,848 --> 00:14:23,781
- Talk to him.
- 270
- 00:14:25,882 --> 00:14:28,779
- Who he is is too important
- to this school
- 271
- 00:14:28,781 --> 00:14:30,146
- for him to fuck it up.
- 272
- 00:14:30,148 --> 00:14:32,515
- He can't fuck it up.
- 273
- 00:14:33,980 --> 00:14:35,614
- Talk to him, please.
- 274
- 00:14:41,113 --> 00:14:42,114
- I will.
- 275
- 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,446
- You're the one who
- keeps talking about Stephanie.
- 276
- 00:14:46,448 --> 00:14:47,845
- - I'm not!
- - The fuck is wrong with you?
- 277
- 00:14:47,847 --> 00:14:49,780
- Shut it!
- Get off me!
- 278
- 00:14:49,782 --> 00:14:51,846
- You should have kept
- your mouth shut, little shit.
- 279
- 00:14:51,848 --> 00:14:52,978
- I told you!
- 280
- 00:14:52,980 --> 00:14:54,578
- Yo, what the hell! Come on!
- 281
- 00:14:54,580 --> 00:14:56,413
- - He told everybody!
- - Fuck you!
- 282
- 00:14:59,715 --> 00:15:01,513
- If this gets out,
- it's on your two.
- 283
- 00:15:01,515 --> 00:15:02,816
- - Both of you!
- - Yo!
- 284
- 00:15:04,681 --> 00:15:07,115
- - Everything okay?
- - Everything's fine, coach.
- 285
- 00:15:10,147 --> 00:15:12,479
- Luce, my office.
- 286
- 00:15:12,481 --> 00:15:13,614
- Sure thing.
- 287
- 00:15:20,814 --> 00:15:22,179
- You read the whole thing?
- 288
- 00:15:22,181 --> 00:15:23,679
- Yeah.
- 289
- 00:15:23,681 --> 00:15:26,045
- Okay, yeah, kids get
- taken with ideas.
- 290
- 00:15:26,047 --> 00:15:27,512
- Look, he probably stumbled
- 291
- 00:15:27,514 --> 00:15:29,446
- across Frantz Fanon
- on the internet
- 292
- 00:15:29,448 --> 00:15:30,945
- and went overboard.
- 293
- 00:15:30,947 --> 00:15:33,478
- I read the Communist Manifesto
- when I was an undergrad
- 294
- 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,579
- and called people
- comrade for a month.
- 295
- 00:15:35,581 --> 00:15:38,446
- Yeah, well, I think he's
- a little too smart for that.
- 296
- 00:15:38,448 --> 00:15:40,911
- Not too smart to have
- explosives in his locker.
- 297
- 00:15:40,913 --> 00:15:43,078
- - They're fireworks.
- - Illegal fireworks
- 298
- 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,045
- - Still...
- - that have explosive capacity,
- 299
- 00:15:45,047 --> 00:15:47,146
- I Googled this,
- of a shotgun blast.
- 300
- 00:15:47,148 --> 00:15:48,145
- They're fireworks.
- 301
- 00:15:48,147 --> 00:15:50,513
- It's not shocking.
- 302
- 00:15:50,515 --> 00:15:52,047
- That is shocking.
- 303
- 00:15:53,614 --> 00:15:55,745
- Okay, so what?
- 304
- 00:15:55,747 --> 00:15:58,481
- - So what?
- - What? What, our...
- 305
- 00:15:59,814 --> 00:16:02,514
- teenage soon-to-be
- valedictorian son is,
- 306
- 00:16:03,515 --> 00:16:05,112
- - secretly a radical?
- - No.
- 307
- 00:16:05,114 --> 00:16:06,179
- - A terrorist?
- - No.
- 308
- 00:16:06,181 --> 00:16:07,779
- - No. Of course not.
- - What then?
- 309
- 00:16:07,781 --> 00:16:09,911
- I don't know. It's just
- something's going on
- 310
- 00:16:09,913 --> 00:16:11,578
- and I want to be
- in front of it.
- 311
- 00:16:11,580 --> 00:16:13,845
- Oh shit.
- 312
- 00:16:13,847 --> 00:16:15,381
- Amy, what the fuck?
- 313
- 00:16:16,946 --> 00:16:18,111
- - Hey!
- - Hey.
- 314
- 00:16:18,113 --> 00:16:19,448
- How was school?
- 315
- 00:16:24,581 --> 00:16:25,648
- What's going on?
- 316
- 00:16:26,647 --> 00:16:27,812
- Nothing.
- 317
- 00:16:27,814 --> 00:16:29,780
- How was school?
- How was practice?
- 318
- 00:16:32,046 --> 00:16:32,980
- Psy.
- 319
- 00:16:34,815 --> 00:16:37,413
- - Have you eaten?
- - Not yet.
- 320
- 00:16:37,415 --> 00:16:40,044
- Oh good, because
- your dad picked up curry.
- 321
- 00:16:40,046 --> 00:16:40,980
- Sweet!
- 322
- 00:16:48,414 --> 00:16:51,078
- Okay, put your stuff down
- so we can eat.
- 323
- 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,512
- - Cool.
- - Great.
- 324
- 00:16:53,514 --> 00:16:55,349
- - Don't start without me.
- - We won't.
- 325
- 00:16:56,714 --> 00:16:58,045
- Hey...
- 326
- 00:16:58,047 --> 00:17:00,146
- - What was that?
- - I don't want him to know
- 327
- 00:17:00,148 --> 00:17:02,413
- - we've gone through his things.
- - We didn't.
- 328
- 00:17:02,415 --> 00:17:05,011
- Or make it seem we went behind
- his back to his teachers.
- 329
- 00:17:05,013 --> 00:17:06,578
- - Amy...
- - Come on, Pete.
- 330
- 00:17:06,580 --> 00:17:08,578
- How many years did it take us
- to get him here?
- 331
- 00:17:08,580 --> 00:17:10,844
- How many nights did I crawl
- underneath that bed
- 332
- 00:17:10,846 --> 00:17:12,878
- because he was too scared
- to sleep in it?
- 333
- 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,578
- What we've built.
- That trust.
- 334
- 00:17:14,580 --> 00:17:16,781
- I won't risk it.
- I won't.
- 335
- 00:17:31,447 --> 00:17:32,947
- I got everything ready.
- 336
- 00:17:34,748 --> 00:17:37,078
- Yes, I'll be by to talk
- with the doctors tomorrow
- 337
- 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:38,081
- and we'll be all set.
- 338
- 00:17:39,614 --> 00:17:41,044
- Rose...
- 339
- 00:17:41,046 --> 00:17:42,715
- Rose, I told you already, okay?
- 340
- 00:17:44,681 --> 00:17:47,015
- Okay. I'll see you soon.
- 341
- 00:17:47,846 --> 00:17:49,015
- I love you too.
- 342
- 00:18:12,714 --> 00:18:14,179
- Okay, so who told you?
- 343
- 00:18:14,181 --> 00:18:17,579
- - Told us what?
- - You clearly know.
- 344
- 00:18:17,581 --> 00:18:18,811
- What do we know?
- 345
- 00:18:18,813 --> 00:18:21,111
- You don't... You don't know?
- 346
- 00:18:21,113 --> 00:18:24,947
- What is it that you think
- we do or do not know, honey?
- 347
- 00:18:25,647 --> 00:18:26,715
- Um...
- 348
- 00:18:28,813 --> 00:18:30,646
- Coach Reeves
- offered me Captain.
- 349
- 00:18:30,648 --> 00:18:31,678
- - Wow!
- - Whoa.
- 350
- 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,745
- Oh my God!
- That's amazing!
- 351
- 00:18:33,747 --> 00:18:35,045
- Yeah! It's dope.
- 352
- 00:18:35,047 --> 00:18:36,646
- Says I'll be
- good example
- 353
- 00:18:36,648 --> 00:18:38,878
- for certain teammates.
- But between track
- 354
- 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,613
- and debate prep, plus the extra
- shit Wilson has us doing...
- 355
- 00:18:41,615 --> 00:18:42,812
- What, how do you mean?
- 356
- 00:18:42,814 --> 00:18:45,015
- Nothing. It's just...
- 357
- 00:18:46,448 --> 00:18:47,915
- You really don't like her,
- do you?
- 358
- 00:18:48,847 --> 00:18:49,948
- It's complicated.
- 359
- 00:18:51,047 --> 00:18:52,382
- Try me.
- 360
- 00:18:53,846 --> 00:18:55,980
- Okay. You remember
- Stephanie Kim, right?
- 361
- 00:18:58,046 --> 00:18:59,811
- - Sort of...
- - Not a clue.
- 362
- 00:18:59,813 --> 00:19:01,679
- She came over one time last...
- 363
- 00:19:01,681 --> 00:19:03,711
- - Go on.
- - Anyway.
- 364
- 00:19:03,713 --> 00:19:05,678
- There were rumors
- going around about her
- 365
- 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,178
- after this party
- a few weeks ago.
- 366
- 00:19:07,180 --> 00:19:09,678
- - What kind of rumors?
- - Oh, people were drinking
- 367
- 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,011
- and no one really knows
- what happened, but, um...
- 368
- 00:19:12,013 --> 00:19:13,679
- Stephanie got
- kind of messed up.
- 369
- 00:19:13,681 --> 00:19:15,079
- Something happened
- with some guys.
- 370
- 00:19:15,081 --> 00:19:16,912
- Then Wilson got involved
- 371
- 00:19:16,914 --> 00:19:19,011
- and no one really
- could prove anything
- 372
- 00:19:19,013 --> 00:19:21,879
- but she kept using Stephanie
- as like an example.
- 373
- 00:19:21,881 --> 00:19:23,513
- turning her
- into a victim.
- 374
- 00:19:23,515 --> 00:19:25,148
- - How?
- - Well,
- 375
- 00:19:26,178 --> 00:19:28,546
- we'll be talking about women
- in Middle East or something
- 376
- 00:19:28,548 --> 00:19:30,944
- and she singles her out,
- says some shit like,
- 377
- 00:19:30,946 --> 00:19:33,612
- "We all know firsthand
- how important it is for women
- 378
- 00:19:33,614 --> 00:19:36,146
- to have the courage
- to stand up, to fight."
- 379
- 00:19:36,148 --> 00:19:37,811
- I don't understand.
- 380
- 00:19:37,813 --> 00:19:39,645
- It's not exactly
- singling her out.
- 381
- 00:19:39,647 --> 00:19:41,045
- It's how she says it.
- 382
- 00:19:41,047 --> 00:19:42,711
- Like everyone's
- a symbol to her.
- 383
- 00:19:42,713 --> 00:19:44,945
- Stephanie, Deshaun,
- we all exist
- 384
- 00:19:44,947 --> 00:19:47,512
- to confirm the world
- is the way she sees it.
- 385
- 00:19:47,514 --> 00:19:49,145
- So does she do that
- kind of thing with you?
- 386
- 00:19:49,147 --> 00:19:51,011
- Are you kidding?
- 387
- 00:19:51,013 --> 00:19:52,545
- I'm a fucking
- poster boy.
- 388
- 00:19:52,547 --> 00:19:54,945
- Black kid who overcame
- his tragic past,
- 389
- 00:19:54,947 --> 00:19:57,048
- the example why America
- works. It's bullshit.
- 390
- 00:19:58,481 --> 00:20:00,512
- So you don't like her
- labeling you?
- 391
- 00:20:00,514 --> 00:20:02,579
- I don't like tokenism.
- 392
- 00:20:02,581 --> 00:20:04,845
- What's the difference
- between punishing someone
- 393
- 00:20:04,847 --> 00:20:07,811
- for being a stereotype and
- rewarding them if they're not?
- 394
- 00:20:07,813 --> 00:20:09,844
- One of the two
- comes with benefits.
- 395
- 00:20:09,846 --> 00:20:11,446
- What you'd call a benefit,
- 396
- 00:20:11,448 --> 00:20:12,945
- I'd call a responsibility
- I didn't ask for.
- 397
- 00:20:12,947 --> 00:20:15,648
- Okay, what about responsibility
- to tell the truth?
- 398
- 00:20:16,746 --> 00:20:17,744
- - What?
- - Peter...
- 399
- 00:20:17,746 --> 00:20:18,944
- So, one of the
- 400
- 00:20:18,946 --> 00:20:20,945
- benefits you get
- is benefit of the doubt.
- 401
- 00:20:20,947 --> 00:20:23,111
- - A chance to explain yourself.
- - Explain myself?
- 402
- 00:20:23,113 --> 00:20:24,579
- - Enough.
- - Whereas another student
- 403
- 00:20:24,581 --> 00:20:25,947
- might not. So...
- 404
- 00:20:27,813 --> 00:20:29,711
- You have anything
- you want to tell us?
- 405
- 00:20:29,713 --> 00:20:31,514
- - Peter, stop.
- - About what?
- 406
- 00:20:35,614 --> 00:20:36,715
- Ask your mom.
- 407
- 00:20:41,679 --> 00:20:42,948
- Finish your food.
- 408
- 00:22:49,046 --> 00:22:50,478
- Knock knock.
- 409
- 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,112
- - Hey!
- - We've been summoned.
- 410
- 00:22:54,913 --> 00:22:56,015
- Honey...
- 411
- 00:23:25,814 --> 00:23:27,477
- Prosecutor Edgar,
- 412
- 00:23:27,479 --> 00:23:29,511
- take it easy on me today.
- How are you all doing?
- 413
- 00:23:29,513 --> 00:23:31,444
- Ms. Wilson, so glad
- you could join us.
- 414
- 00:23:31,446 --> 00:23:34,044
- Luce was hoping to get some
- help building his next case.
- 415
- 00:23:34,046 --> 00:23:36,578
- I figure you and Principal Dan
- are the all stars.
- 416
- 00:23:36,580 --> 00:23:38,878
- We're going to nationals
- again this year, right?
- 417
- 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,845
- - 100 percent.
- - Boom!
- 418
- 00:23:40,847 --> 00:23:42,879
- That's why this one's
- my thoroughbred.
- 419
- 00:23:42,881 --> 00:23:44,178
- Okay, let's have it.
- 420
- 00:23:44,180 --> 00:23:46,044
- Ms. Wilson...
- 421
- 00:23:46,046 --> 00:23:49,114
- Of course. Let's, uh,
- let's hear what you got.
- 422
- 00:23:54,580 --> 00:23:56,681
- - What are you doing?
- - Jesus, Pete!
- 423
- 00:23:58,114 --> 00:24:00,045
- Doesn't it make sense
- just to get rid of them?
- 424
- 00:24:00,047 --> 00:24:01,179
- They're so dangerous.
- 425
- 00:24:01,181 --> 00:24:02,578
- We hang on to them
- 426
- 00:24:02,580 --> 00:24:04,115
- until we get to
- the bottom of this.
- 427
- 00:24:06,847 --> 00:24:08,082
- They'll be
- safe here.
- 428
- 00:24:10,047 --> 00:24:10,980
- What?
- 429
- 00:24:11,881 --> 00:24:12,815
- What?
- 430
- 00:24:20,713 --> 00:24:21,812
- My argument
- 431
- 00:24:21,814 --> 00:24:24,012
- is premised on
- two court cases:
- 432
- 00:24:24,014 --> 00:24:26,511
- Goss v. Lopez,
- 1975,
- 433
- 00:24:26,513 --> 00:24:29,678
- and New Jersey
- v. T.L.O., 1985.
- 434
- 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,812
- In Goss, an Ohio school
- suspended nine students
- 435
- 00:24:32,814 --> 00:24:34,044
- for delinquent behavior,
- 436
- 00:24:34,046 --> 00:24:35,811
- but the Supreme Court found
- 437
- 00:24:35,813 --> 00:24:38,444
- that depriving students of
- their right to an education
- 438
- 00:24:38,446 --> 00:24:39,577
- without
- due process
- 439
- 00:24:39,579 --> 00:24:41,745
- is a violation
- of their civil rights.
- 440
- 00:24:41,747 --> 00:24:43,512
- Ms. Wilson,
- do you agree with that?
- 441
- 00:24:43,514 --> 00:24:45,146
- I'm sorry?
- 442
- 00:24:45,148 --> 00:24:46,878
- Do you agree that those kids
- 443
- 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,545
- were deprived of
- their civil rights?
- 444
- 00:24:49,547 --> 00:24:52,677
- I don't know the specifics
- of the case but
- 445
- 00:24:52,679 --> 00:24:55,111
- - the principal...
- - Principal makes sense, right?
- 446
- 00:24:55,113 --> 00:24:56,612
- Education is a civil right.
- 447
- 00:24:56,614 --> 00:24:57,944
- Everyone should have
- civil rights.
- 448
- 00:24:57,946 --> 00:25:00,012
- - Right.
- - In the second case
- 449
- 00:25:00,014 --> 00:25:03,744
- a student is accused of smoking
- in the school bathroom,
- 450
- 00:25:03,746 --> 00:25:05,412
- but there's no proof.
- 451
- 00:25:05,414 --> 00:25:07,812
- The charge is premised
- on a teacher's suspicion.
- 452
- 00:25:07,814 --> 00:25:10,978
- So the principal searched
- her purse and found cigarettes
- 453
- 00:25:10,980 --> 00:25:12,978
- and marijuana-related
- paraphernalia.
- 454
- 00:25:12,980 --> 00:25:14,444
- Do you agree with that?
- 455
- 00:25:14,446 --> 00:25:16,078
- What did the court say?
- 456
- 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:17,678
- The court found that students
- 457
- 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,581
- have a reduced expectation
- of privacy in schools.
- 458
- 00:25:21,180 --> 00:25:22,178
- It makes sense.
- 459
- 00:25:22,180 --> 00:25:23,712
- Does it?
- 460
- 00:25:23,714 --> 00:25:28,544
- A school is a unique
- social institution.
- 461
- 00:25:28,546 --> 00:25:30,611
- It's populated by people
- who aren't adults
- 462
- 00:25:30,613 --> 00:25:33,412
- in the eyes of the law.
- People who have to be here.
- 463
- 00:25:33,414 --> 00:25:35,511
- - Students.
- - Yes.
- 464
- 00:25:35,513 --> 00:25:36,711
- Students are half people.
- 465
- 00:25:36,713 --> 00:25:38,012
- Luce,
- 466
- 00:25:38,014 --> 00:25:39,978
- is there a specific
- question you have
- 467
- 00:25:39,980 --> 00:25:42,146
- that Ms. Wilson
- might be able to address?
- 468
- 00:25:42,148 --> 00:25:43,146
- Totally.
- 469
- 00:25:43,148 --> 00:25:45,444
- Thanks Ms. Tennyson.
- 470
- 00:25:45,446 --> 00:25:47,179
- Um, basically my question
- 471
- 00:25:47,181 --> 00:25:49,477
- that I hope Ms. Wilson
- can help me with
- 472
- 00:25:49,479 --> 00:25:52,511
- is around this idea
- of reduced expectation
- 473
- 00:25:52,513 --> 00:25:55,678
- versus the affirmation by the
- court of student civil rights.
- 474
- 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,678
- Like what are the criteria
- for evaluating
- 475
- 00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,477
- what's a violation
- of privacy?
- 476
- 00:25:59,479 --> 00:26:01,079
- Is privacy a civil right?
- 477
- 00:26:01,081 --> 00:26:02,545
- I think so.
- 478
- 00:26:02,547 --> 00:26:04,381
- Maybe the law isn't so sure.
- 479
- 00:26:06,814 --> 00:26:09,111
- If I went through your desk
- without you knowing,
- 480
- 00:26:09,113 --> 00:26:11,047
- would you feel like
- your privacy was violated?
- 481
- 00:26:13,513 --> 00:26:15,145
- Yes, I would.
- 482
- 00:26:15,147 --> 00:26:17,079
- So?
- 483
- 00:26:17,081 --> 00:26:19,445
- Feelings aren't
- a legal argument.
- 484
- 00:26:19,447 --> 00:26:22,412
- In the New Jersey case,
- the teacher assumed
- 485
- 00:26:22,414 --> 00:26:24,612
- the girl was guilty
- because of her feelings.
- 486
- 00:26:24,614 --> 00:26:27,578
- That's called
- reasonable suspicion.
- 487
- 00:26:27,580 --> 00:26:30,511
- It's all the police need
- to search your car.
- 488
- 00:26:30,513 --> 00:26:32,944
- So it's about what's reasonable.
- 489
- 00:26:32,946 --> 00:26:35,480
- That's what courts are for.
- 490
- 00:26:37,014 --> 00:26:39,878
- Really it's just about
- people though, right?
- 491
- 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,081
- Whether they conform
- to what we think they are.
- 492
- 00:26:43,846 --> 00:26:44,948
- It's not that simple.
- 493
- 00:26:46,046 --> 00:26:47,448
- Nothing ever is.
- 494
- 00:26:52,547 --> 00:26:54,678
- Thank you so much
- for your help, Ms. Wilson.
- 495
- 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,146
- This was,
- this was great, right?
- 496
- 00:26:56,148 --> 00:26:58,477
- Any time.
- 497
- 00:26:58,479 --> 00:27:00,613
- God, that kid is
- something else, isn't he?
- 498
- 00:27:12,114 --> 00:27:13,781
- All right, people,
- phones away.
- 499
- 00:27:15,546 --> 00:27:16,744
- I see you, Sasha.
- 500
- 00:27:16,746 --> 00:27:18,613
- And you too,
- Stephanie Kim.
- 501
- 00:27:20,446 --> 00:27:22,444
- - All right.
- - It's show time!
- 502
- 00:27:22,446 --> 00:27:23,844
- You fucked up.
- And bro,
- 503
- 00:27:23,846 --> 00:27:25,879
- you can't just go slamming
- Orlicki against a locker.
- 504
- 00:27:25,881 --> 00:27:27,412
- He's out there
- telling everybody.
- 505
- 00:27:27,414 --> 00:27:29,878
- It's nothing half the school
- didn't already know.
- 506
- 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,879
- Besides, I talked
- to Stephanie.
- 507
- 00:27:31,881 --> 00:27:33,745
- You two still talk?
- 508
- 00:27:33,747 --> 00:27:35,512
- Not really, but someone
- had to resolve this
- 509
- 00:27:35,514 --> 00:27:37,712
- - before it blows up.
- - Is she gonna be cool?
- 510
- 00:27:37,714 --> 00:27:38,979
- - Yeah.
- - Is she gonna be cool?
- 511
- 00:27:38,981 --> 00:27:40,711
- Everything's going
- to be cool, man.
- 512
- 00:27:40,713 --> 00:27:43,577
- Just squash the beef
- with Orlicki, all right?
- 513
- 00:27:43,579 --> 00:27:45,980
- - Corey!
- - All right, man. Whatever.
- 514
- 00:27:49,147 --> 00:27:52,112
- Yo! Deshaun's
- one bold-ass nigga.
- 515
- 00:27:52,114 --> 00:27:54,544
- Since Wilson got
- him tossed off the team,
- 516
- 00:27:54,546 --> 00:27:55,680
- he's been messed up.
- 517
- 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,844
- I'll catch you later, man.
- 518
- 00:28:02,846 --> 00:28:04,047
- - Yo.
- - Yeah.
- 519
- 00:28:14,148 --> 00:28:15,878
- We agreed on this.
- 520
- 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,979
- If you live with me,
- you have to be responsible for...
- 521
- 00:28:18,981 --> 00:28:21,948
- All I ask is if you're staying
- on top of your medication.
- 522
- 00:28:23,447 --> 00:28:25,145
- I know what the doctor
- said, Rosemary.
- 523
- 00:28:25,147 --> 00:28:27,677
- It doesn't mean
- I'm comfortable with it.
- 524
- 00:28:27,679 --> 00:28:29,778
- Out of everyone in this family,
- 525
- 00:28:29,780 --> 00:28:31,144
- I've been there for you
- time and time again.
- 526
- 00:28:31,146 --> 00:28:32,145
- I resent that.
- 527
- 00:28:32,147 --> 00:28:33,811
- Hey.
- 528
- 00:28:33,813 --> 00:28:36,481
- I gotta go, Rose.
- We'll talk tonight.
- 529
- 00:28:39,013 --> 00:28:41,644
- - Everything okay?
- - Everything's fine.
- 530
- 00:28:41,646 --> 00:28:43,578
- Family stuff?
- 531
- 00:28:43,580 --> 00:28:44,979
- Personal business, yes.
- 532
- 00:28:44,981 --> 00:28:45,915
- Gotcha.
- 533
- 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,545
- Um, thanks for your
- guidance this morning.
- 534
- 00:28:49,547 --> 00:28:51,445
- It really helped
- make my case.
- 535
- 00:28:51,447 --> 00:28:53,177
- I'm glad.
- 536
- 00:28:53,179 --> 00:28:54,912
- You wanted to see me?
- 537
- 00:28:54,914 --> 00:28:57,612
- I wanted to talk to you about
- your assignment, Luce.
- 538
- 00:28:57,614 --> 00:28:59,011
- What about it?
- 539
- 00:28:59,013 --> 00:29:01,110
- I assumed you spoke
- to your mother...
- 540
- 00:29:01,112 --> 00:29:04,414
- I haven't gotten it back yet.
- How could I talk my mom of it?
- 541
- 00:29:06,013 --> 00:29:08,778
- Well, I'll just say, uh...
- 542
- 00:29:08,780 --> 00:29:10,678
- After reading it,
- I have some concerns
- 543
- 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,445
- for some of
- the arguments you made.
- 544
- 00:29:12,447 --> 00:29:13,979
- Well they aren't mine.
- 545
- 00:29:13,981 --> 00:29:15,177
- Excuse me?
- 546
- 00:29:15,179 --> 00:29:17,078
- The arguments,
- they're Frantz Fanon's.
- 547
- 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:18,879
- I realize that.
- 548
- 00:29:18,881 --> 00:29:20,645
- The assignment was
- to write in his voice.
- 549
- 00:29:20,647 --> 00:29:22,544
- You really think
- I believe that stuff?
- 550
- 00:29:22,546 --> 00:29:25,045
- Well, I don't know.
- 551
- 00:29:25,047 --> 00:29:28,045
- If I didn't know you, Luce,
- it would be reasonable for me
- 552
- 00:29:28,047 --> 00:29:29,945
- to read that assignment
- and conclude...
- 553
- 00:29:29,947 --> 00:29:30,981
- But you do know me.
- 554
- 00:29:33,914 --> 00:29:35,878
- Look, um,
- 555
- 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,879
- I'm sorry if I scared you.
- 556
- 00:29:37,881 --> 00:29:40,110
- I just wanted to do
- a good job.
- 557
- 00:29:40,112 --> 00:29:42,412
- You did do a good job.
- 558
- 00:29:42,414 --> 00:29:43,845
- I mean, I get it.
- 559
- 00:29:43,847 --> 00:29:45,678
- - Get what?
- - Well, I get
- 560
- 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,678
- how someone who learned how to
- shoot a gun before driving a car
- 561
- 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:49,978
- writing something like that
- 562
- 00:29:49,980 --> 00:29:51,747
- might make someone
- freaked out.
- 563
- 00:29:53,513 --> 00:29:55,947
- I just hope you know me
- better than that, Ms. Wilson.
- 564
- 00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,981
- I like to think
- that I do, Luce.
- 565
- 00:30:02,179 --> 00:30:04,481
- Anything else you wanted
- to talk to me about?
- 566
- 00:30:04,981 --> 00:30:06,512
- No.
- 567
- 00:30:06,514 --> 00:30:08,015
- Tell your mom
- I'd like her to call me.
- 568
- 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:09,613
- Why?
- 569
- 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:12,748
- Because I want
- to speak with her.
- 570
- 00:30:13,679 --> 00:30:15,612
- What about? I mean,
- 571
- 00:30:15,614 --> 00:30:18,712
- I guess it's about me unless you
- guys are friends or something.
- 572
- 00:30:18,714 --> 00:30:20,145
- Please have her
- call me, Luce.
- 573
- 00:30:20,147 --> 00:30:21,779
- Thank you for
- stopping in.
- 574
- 00:30:21,781 --> 00:30:22,848
- Of course.
- 575
- 00:30:28,147 --> 00:30:29,514
- Hey, Ms. Wilson...
- 576
- 00:30:30,679 --> 00:30:32,144
- What's your favorite holiday?
- 577
- 00:30:32,146 --> 00:30:35,778
- - Excuse me?
- - What's your favorite holiday?
- 578
- 00:30:35,780 --> 00:30:38,011
- I don't know.
- Christmas maybe.
- 579
- 00:30:38,013 --> 00:30:39,544
- Mine is Independence Day.
- 580
- 00:30:41,179 --> 00:30:42,979
- Before I came here,
- 581
- 00:30:42,981 --> 00:30:45,512
- I didn't know
- a single holiday and
- 582
- 00:30:45,514 --> 00:30:49,110
- I remember my mom trying
- to explain what they were.
- 583
- 00:30:49,112 --> 00:30:51,712
- It's a hard concept to grasp
- if you've never of it,
- 584
- 00:30:51,714 --> 00:30:53,412
- but,
- 585
- 00:30:53,414 --> 00:30:55,745
- once I learned them all,
- my favorite, hands down,
- 586
- 00:30:55,747 --> 00:30:58,512
- has always been
- Independence Day.
- 587
- 00:30:58,514 --> 00:30:59,511
- Why is that?
- 588
- 00:30:59,513 --> 00:31:01,348
- I like what it represents.
- 589
- 00:31:02,814 --> 00:31:04,745
- Freedom,
- 590
- 00:31:04,747 --> 00:31:05,715
- strength,
- 591
- 00:31:07,147 --> 00:31:08,447
- individuality.
- 592
- 00:31:10,045 --> 00:31:13,644
- Also I love the fireworks.
- The lights.
- 593
- 00:31:13,646 --> 00:31:14,748
- Poof!
- 594
- 00:31:16,613 --> 00:31:19,712
- Luce, I'd like to remind you
- that you're still a student here
- 595
- 00:31:19,714 --> 00:31:21,845
- and I am your teacher.
- 596
- 00:31:21,847 --> 00:31:26,011
- And regardless of what you may
- view as some sort of injustice
- 597
- 00:31:26,013 --> 00:31:28,011
- - What are you talking about?
- - ...or unfair,
- 598
- 00:31:28,013 --> 00:31:30,748
- just remember how things
- are organized around here.
- 599
- 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,648
- Totally.
- I'll see you around.
- 600
- 00:31:45,881 --> 00:31:48,744
- - The financials from Cusack.
- - Thanks, Beth.
- 601
- 00:31:48,746 --> 00:31:50,612
- Quarter end payments
- went out, right?
- 602
- 00:31:50,614 --> 00:31:54,481
- Yes.
- 603
- 00:31:57,446 --> 00:31:58,414
- Yeah?
- 604
- 00:32:00,747 --> 00:32:03,381
- Ms. Wilson.
- How are you?
- 605
- 00:32:08,446 --> 00:32:10,077
- Why is she calling you?
- 606
- 00:32:10,079 --> 00:32:12,711
- Well, last I checked
- I'm one of two parents.
- 607
- 00:32:12,713 --> 00:32:14,712
- Yeah, but she was
- communicating with me
- 608
- 00:32:14,714 --> 00:32:16,110
- and now she's calling you?
- 609
- 00:32:16,112 --> 00:32:18,845
- Well, we're both available
- to talk about our son.
- 610
- 00:32:18,847 --> 00:32:22,578
- This woman has some kind
- of vendetta against Luce.
- 611
- 00:32:22,580 --> 00:32:23,944
- - Vendetta? Really?
- - Yeah.
- 612
- 00:32:23,946 --> 00:32:26,444
- She has some thing
- with him and now,
- 613
- 00:32:26,446 --> 00:32:28,478
- now she's trying to
- divide and conquer.
- 614
- 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:29,844
- Nice word choice.
- 615
- 00:32:29,846 --> 00:32:31,477
- What she did
- with Stephanie Kim
- 616
- 00:32:31,479 --> 00:32:33,544
- and what she's trying
- to do now with Luce,
- 617
- 00:32:33,546 --> 00:32:36,412
- this woman holds different kids
- to different standards based...
- 618
- 00:32:36,414 --> 00:32:38,812
- Did you see or hear what
- she did to that girl?
- 619
- 00:32:38,814 --> 00:32:41,644
- - I've heard enough to know.
- - From Luce, yeah.
- 620
- 00:32:41,646 --> 00:32:45,544
- Yes, from our son, who has
- always been honest with us.
- 621
- 00:32:45,546 --> 00:32:48,010
- Except about having illegal
- fireworks in his locker.
- 622
- 00:32:48,012 --> 00:32:49,778
- He didn't lie about that.
- 623
- 00:32:49,780 --> 00:32:51,944
- - Is that so?
- - Not telling us
- 624
- 00:32:51,946 --> 00:32:54,078
- and lying are two
- different things.
- 625
- 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,478
- And what if there's
- a pattern here?
- 626
- 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:57,845
- - A pattern?
- - Yeah.
- 627
- 00:32:57,847 --> 00:32:59,745
- The paper, the fireworks,
- the threat...
- 628
- 00:32:59,747 --> 00:33:02,011
- Peter...
- 629
- 00:33:02,013 --> 00:33:04,412
- - We have to be at least open to
- - Absolutely not.
- 630
- 00:33:04,414 --> 00:33:06,577
- the possibility that
- our son is capable of...
- 631
- 00:33:06,579 --> 00:33:09,512
- Of what? Capable of what?
- 632
- 00:33:09,514 --> 00:33:11,445
- Tell me you know
- he's a good kid, Pete.
- 633
- 00:33:11,447 --> 00:33:13,011
- Tell me if shit
- hits the fan,
- 634
- 00:33:13,013 --> 00:33:14,779
- we aren't about
- to abandon our son.
- 635
- 00:33:14,781 --> 00:33:16,778
- - We're not going to abandon him.
- - Our black son to a system
- 636
- 00:33:16,780 --> 00:33:18,979
- that already wants
- to shit all over him.
- 637
- 00:33:20,979 --> 00:33:24,043
- It's our job to protect him,
- to have his back.
- 638
- 00:33:24,045 --> 00:33:25,712
- That's part of it.
- It's our job
- 639
- 00:33:25,714 --> 00:33:27,444
- - to do what's right.
- - By him.
- 640
- 00:33:27,446 --> 00:33:29,011
- To do what's
- right by him.
- 641
- 00:33:30,613 --> 00:33:31,944
- - Luce!
- - Yeah?
- 642
- 00:33:31,946 --> 00:33:33,779
- - Got a minute?
- - You said you'd do this my way.
- 643
- 00:33:33,781 --> 00:33:35,644
- - Yeah.
- - What's up?
- 644
- 00:33:35,646 --> 00:33:37,010
- Did you threaten
- your teacher?
- 645
- 00:33:37,012 --> 00:33:38,044
- - Honey...
- - Excuse me?
- 646
- 00:33:38,046 --> 00:33:39,044
- You heard me.
- 647
- 00:33:39,046 --> 00:33:40,043
- Did I threaten...?
- 648
- 00:33:40,045 --> 00:33:42,445
- Ms. Wilson called.
- 649
- 00:33:42,447 --> 00:33:43,943
- Ms. Wilson said
- I threatened her?
- 650
- 00:33:43,945 --> 00:33:45,111
- Did you?
- 651
- 00:33:45,113 --> 00:33:46,612
- - What did she say?
- - She said...
- 652
- 00:33:46,614 --> 00:33:48,577
- Never mind what she said.
- What did you do?
- 653
- 00:33:48,579 --> 00:33:50,078
- She asked me
- to come and see her.
- 654
- 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,712
- And?
- 655
- 00:33:51,714 --> 00:33:54,010
- I thanked her for helping
- me with my debate case.
- 656
- 00:33:54,012 --> 00:33:56,144
- - She helped you?
- - Yeah, her and Principal Dan.
- 657
- 00:33:56,146 --> 00:33:58,411
- Why would I
- threaten her?
- 658
- 00:33:58,413 --> 00:34:00,411
- What did she want
- to talk to you about?
- 659
- 00:34:00,413 --> 00:34:02,477
- A paper.
- We had a misunderstanding.
- 660
- 00:34:02,479 --> 00:34:04,444
- I apologized for it.
- 661
- 00:34:04,446 --> 00:34:06,178
- You say anything about
- the 4th of July?
- 662
- 00:34:06,180 --> 00:34:07,612
- - What?
- - Honey...
- 663
- 00:34:07,614 --> 00:34:09,611
- - About fireworks?
- - How is that a threat?
- 664
- 00:34:09,613 --> 00:34:11,978
- Did you or did you not say
- something about the 4th of July?
- 665
- 00:34:11,980 --> 00:34:14,010
- I said the 4th of July
- was my favorite holiday.
- 666
- 00:34:14,012 --> 00:34:15,511
- Why would you say that?
- 667
- 00:34:15,513 --> 00:34:17,044
- I thought we were
- having a conversation.
- 668
- 00:34:17,046 --> 00:34:18,711
- She says I threatened her?
- 669
- 00:34:18,713 --> 00:34:20,577
- I need you to be straight
- with me for a second.
- 670
- 00:34:20,579 --> 00:34:21,979
- - When am I not?
- - Hey!
- 671
- 00:34:25,713 --> 00:34:26,647
- Sure.
- 672
- 00:34:28,912 --> 00:34:31,946
- So is there anything
- you want to tell us?
- 673
- 00:34:33,013 --> 00:34:34,478
- - No.
- - You sure about that?
- 674
- 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,110
- Am I sure about what?
- Jesus, if you guys
- 675
- 00:34:36,112 --> 00:34:37,843
- - want to ask me...
- - Why did you have
- 676
- 00:34:37,845 --> 00:34:39,877
- illegal fireworks
- in your locker?
- 677
- 00:34:39,879 --> 00:34:41,177
- - What?
- - Why did you have
- 678
- 00:34:41,179 --> 00:34:43,077
- illegal fireworks
- in your locker?
- 679
- 00:34:43,079 --> 00:34:45,478
- - I didn't.
- - Luce, don't lie to me.
- 680
- 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:46,811
- - I'm not.
- - Luce!
- 681
- 00:34:46,813 --> 00:34:48,478
- How would you know
- what's in my locker?
- 682
- 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,011
- - Harriet told us.
- - Harriet has a lot to say.
- 683
- 00:34:51,013 --> 00:34:53,511
- Never mind what she said.
- Did you or didn't you?
- 684
- 00:34:53,513 --> 00:34:55,977
- - Not that I know of.
- - Oh, you know what?
- 685
- 00:34:55,979 --> 00:34:58,711
- - Fuck this.
- - We share lockers.
- 686
- 00:34:58,713 --> 00:35:00,711
- The guys on the team
- share lockers.
- 687
- 00:35:00,713 --> 00:35:03,512
- Half my shit is in Orlicki's,
- half his shit is in mine.
- 688
- 00:35:03,514 --> 00:35:05,512
- I don't know what 90%
- of the crap at the bottom is,
- 689
- 00:35:05,514 --> 00:35:07,512
- - let alone who it belongs to.
- - So...
- 690
- 00:35:07,514 --> 00:35:09,581
- So not everything in
- my locker belongs to me.
- 691
- 00:35:10,780 --> 00:35:11,847
- Okay, good.
- 692
- 00:35:13,446 --> 00:35:14,445
- That's good.
- 693
- 00:35:14,447 --> 00:35:15,744
- Now, you understand
- 694
- 00:35:15,746 --> 00:35:17,511
- why it's important
- to know
- 695
- 00:35:17,513 --> 00:35:20,044
- not only what's in your locker,
- but who it belongs to.
- 696
- 00:35:20,046 --> 00:35:21,577
- - Yes.
- - Right?
- 697
- 00:35:21,579 --> 00:35:22,844
- You can't blindly
- trust people to...
- 698
- 00:35:22,846 --> 00:35:25,980
- Okay. You seriously
- buy this shit?
- 699
- 00:35:28,714 --> 00:35:29,780
- Seriously?
- 700
- 00:35:32,045 --> 00:35:35,145
- So someone just happens to leave
- a bag of illegal fireworks
- 701
- 00:35:35,147 --> 00:35:37,677
- in your locker
- and you have no idea?
- 702
- 00:35:37,679 --> 00:35:41,644
- And then this teacher,
- who you don't like,
- 703
- 00:35:41,646 --> 00:35:45,010
- unjustifiably searches
- your locker and finds them.
- 704
- 00:35:45,012 --> 00:35:46,677
- You're just an
- unlucky victim
- 705
- 00:35:46,679 --> 00:35:48,877
- - of circumstance, right?
- - It's the truth.
- 706
- 00:35:48,879 --> 00:35:50,843
- That doesn't sound
- like the truth to me.
- 707
- 00:35:50,845 --> 00:35:52,513
- That sounds like bullshit.
- 708
- 00:35:59,912 --> 00:36:00,946
- You believe me?
- 709
- 00:36:07,579 --> 00:36:08,879
- We can figure this out.
- 710
- 00:38:13,079 --> 00:38:16,178
- I didn't tell anyone
- about Stephanie or the party.
- 711
- 00:38:16,180 --> 00:38:18,711
- Corey should calm
- the fuck down.
- 712
- 00:38:18,713 --> 00:38:20,544
- I talked to him,
- everything's fine.
- 713
- 00:38:20,546 --> 00:38:22,877
- Yeah, tell that to the bruise
- on my fucking neck.
- 714
- 00:38:22,879 --> 00:38:25,011
- You gotta understand
- where he's coming from.
- 715
- 00:38:25,013 --> 00:38:26,777
- Your dad went
- to Dartmouth.
- 716
- 00:38:26,779 --> 00:38:28,445
- Your granddad
- went to Dartmouth.
- 717
- 00:38:28,447 --> 00:38:30,610
- Your dog could probably
- get into Dartmouth.
- 718
- 00:38:32,513 --> 00:38:34,477
- Corey
- doesn't have that.
- 719
- 00:38:34,479 --> 00:38:37,347
- A whiff of something up with him
- and he's the next Deshaun.
- 720
- 00:38:39,146 --> 00:38:41,911
- Can't be walking around
- at night smelling high, bro.
- 721
- 00:38:41,913 --> 00:38:44,676
- You seriously think
- someone's gonna stop you?
- 722
- 00:38:44,678 --> 00:38:47,878
- I'm not interested in being
- the next Deshaun either.
- 723
- 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:49,778
- You're not like Deshaun.
- 724
- 00:38:49,780 --> 00:38:51,644
- We're both black,
- Orlicki.
- 725
- 00:38:51,646 --> 00:38:55,513
- Yeah, but he's
- like black-black.
- 726
- 00:38:57,179 --> 00:38:58,910
- Then what am I?
- 727
- 00:38:58,912 --> 00:39:00,177
- You're Luce.
- 728
- 00:39:27,845 --> 00:39:30,011
- What are you doing?
- 729
- 00:39:30,013 --> 00:39:31,710
- Where were you?
- 730
- 00:39:31,712 --> 00:39:34,677
- I went for a run.
- What do you want?
- 731
- 00:39:34,679 --> 00:39:36,611
- I just wanted
- to apologize
- 732
- 00:39:36,613 --> 00:39:38,110
- for before.
- 733
- 00:39:38,112 --> 00:39:39,811
- - Your father...
- - ...thinks I'm a liar?
- 734
- 00:39:39,813 --> 00:39:44,010
- No, he-he's confused.
- We both are.
- 735
- 00:39:44,012 --> 00:39:44,946
- Confused about what?
- 736
- 00:39:46,779 --> 00:39:48,878
- I told you the kind
- of person Wilson is.
- 737
- 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,644
- You don't conform
- to what she wants
- 738
- 00:39:50,646 --> 00:39:51,947
- and suddenly
- you're the enemy.
- 739
- 00:39:52,713 --> 00:39:54,744
- Look...
- 740
- 00:39:54,746 --> 00:39:57,610
- I know it can seem unfair
- how much people expect of you.
- 741
- 00:39:57,612 --> 00:39:58,579
- You don't, though.
- 742
- 00:39:59,646 --> 00:40:00,877
- You can't.
- 743
- 00:40:00,879 --> 00:40:02,810
- And sometimes
- I'm working so hard
- 744
- 00:40:02,812 --> 00:40:04,077
- to keep this
- all together,
- 745
- 00:40:04,079 --> 00:40:05,843
- - it feels like it'll all just...
- - What?
- 746
- 00:40:05,845 --> 00:40:08,144
- - Just what?
- - I can't be perfect.
- 747
- 00:40:08,146 --> 00:40:09,810
- No one expects you
- to be perfect.
- 748
- 00:40:09,812 --> 00:40:11,576
- Wilson does.
- 749
- 00:40:11,578 --> 00:40:14,477
- Believe it or not, she's
- just trying to protect you.
- 750
- 00:40:14,479 --> 00:40:17,476
- She's trying to protect
- her idea of me.
- 751
- 00:40:17,478 --> 00:40:19,414
- Same as you and him.
- 752
- 00:40:20,079 --> 00:40:21,577
- That's not fair.
- 753
- 00:40:21,579 --> 00:40:23,843
- Unfair doesn't make it
- untrue.
- 754
- 00:40:32,180 --> 00:40:33,113
- Luce...
- 755
- 00:40:34,812 --> 00:40:37,610
- I have to get up early
- for practice in the morning.
- 756
- 00:40:37,612 --> 00:40:38,579
- Good night, Amy.
- 757
- 00:41:45,179 --> 00:41:47,043
- Hey, Luce, it's Stephanie.
- 758
- 00:41:47,045 --> 00:41:49,543
- I fucking hate it.
- 759
- 00:41:49,545 --> 00:41:55,044
- Wilson said I was an example of
- a woman suffering in silence.
- 760
- 00:41:55,046 --> 00:41:58,444
- So everyone
- is gossiping again.
- 761
- 00:41:58,446 --> 00:42:01,078
- You were probably right
- for us to take a break.
- 762
- 00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,777
- I just wish we could
- talk like we used to.
- 763
- 00:42:04,779 --> 00:42:05,746
- Bye.
- 764
- 00:42:25,845 --> 00:42:27,844
- You look different.
- 765
- 00:42:27,846 --> 00:42:29,610
- New weave.
- 766
- 00:42:29,612 --> 00:42:30,780
- What kind?
- 767
- 00:42:31,813 --> 00:42:35,047
- - Indian.
- - Oh!
- 768
- 00:42:38,146 --> 00:42:39,512
- - Thank you.
- - Here you go.
- 769
- 00:42:43,845 --> 00:42:46,011
- What do they
- have you taking now?
- 770
- 00:42:46,013 --> 00:42:47,743
- Clozapine.
- 771
- 00:42:47,745 --> 00:42:49,813
- Makes me sweat like the devil.
- 772
- 00:42:51,180 --> 00:42:52,114
- Harriet,
- 773
- 00:42:53,780 --> 00:42:55,178
- what is this?
- 774
- 00:42:55,180 --> 00:42:56,446
- That's Greek yogurt.
- 775
- 00:42:57,813 --> 00:42:59,145
- Just taste it.
- 776
- 00:42:59,147 --> 00:43:00,413
- All right.
- 777
- 00:43:03,479 --> 00:43:04,610
- Oh, it's good-No!
- 778
- 00:43:07,712 --> 00:43:09,014
- You looked so...
- 779
- 00:43:20,012 --> 00:43:22,979
- Ah! Now this
- what I call breakfast.
- 780
- 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,844
- Shut your mouth. Since when
- you ever turn down some bacon?
- 781
- 00:43:48,045 --> 00:43:51,111
- I know we ate this
- our whole lives but,
- 782
- 00:43:51,113 --> 00:43:53,644
- this instant shit's
- made of poison.
- 783
- 00:43:53,646 --> 00:43:56,010
- I don't know how
- we made it through.
- 784
- 00:43:56,012 --> 00:43:57,446
- Rose?
- 785
- 00:44:07,545 --> 00:44:08,412
- Ms. Wilson?
- 786
- 00:44:10,112 --> 00:44:13,577
- - You know Harriet?
- - Ms. Wilson's my teacher.
- 787
- 00:44:13,579 --> 00:44:16,077
- Oh! Ain't the world
- 788
- 00:44:16,079 --> 00:44:18,943
- - tiny and great!
- - I just came here
- 789
- 00:44:18,945 --> 00:44:20,443
- to pick up snacks
- for the fundraiser.
- 790
- 00:44:20,445 --> 00:44:21,743
- This young man
- was just telling me
- 791
- 00:44:21,745 --> 00:44:23,177
- about something
- called paleo.
- 792
- 00:44:23,179 --> 00:44:25,511
- It's a diet,
- how the cavemen ate.
- 793
- 00:44:25,513 --> 00:44:27,677
- Cavemen didn't
- live long, Luce.
- 794
- 00:44:27,679 --> 00:44:29,111
- Well, I bet
- they went out
- 795
- 00:44:29,113 --> 00:44:32,043
- with great abs.
- 796
- 00:44:32,045 --> 00:44:33,410
- Ain't he the cutest?
- 797
- 00:44:33,412 --> 00:44:35,078
- Ms. Wilson,
- 798
- 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,677
- Rosemary should come to our
- Culture Month Gala at school.
- 799
- 00:44:38,679 --> 00:44:39,877
- I'm giving a speech.
- 800
- 00:44:39,879 --> 00:44:42,011
- - Oh! Is that right?
- - Yeah.
- 801
- 00:44:42,013 --> 00:44:43,743
- I don't normally get
- to go places,
- 802
- 00:44:43,745 --> 00:44:45,411
- so that would be
- a treat for me.
- 803
- 00:44:45,413 --> 00:44:46,680
- She should come.
- Right, Ms. Wilson?
- 804
- 00:44:48,712 --> 00:44:49,847
- We'll talk about it.
- 805
- 00:44:52,478 --> 00:44:54,444
- Cool.
- 806
- 00:44:54,446 --> 00:44:55,910
- It was nice meeting you,
- Rosemary.
- 807
- 00:44:55,912 --> 00:44:57,611
- Mm-hm!
- 808
- 00:44:57,613 --> 00:44:59,511
- And, um, I hope
- you can make it.
- 809
- 00:44:59,513 --> 00:45:00,580
- Me too!
- 810
- 00:45:02,045 --> 00:45:03,679
- - Bye.
- - Bye.
- 811
- 00:45:08,645 --> 00:45:10,779
- What kind
- of black name is Luce?
- 812
- 00:45:14,980 --> 00:45:16,411
- Hey, Pete.
- 813
- 00:45:16,413 --> 00:45:18,347
- Pete, you want
- to give him a whirl?
- 814
- 00:45:19,980 --> 00:45:23,944
- Hey! Who is that?
- Who is that?
- 815
- 00:45:27,746 --> 00:45:30,880
- Thank you. I'm really glad
- you guys could make it.
- 816
- 00:45:46,678 --> 00:45:49,943
- How you doing?
- 817
- 00:45:56,980 --> 00:45:58,977
- How many times
- do I have to tell you no?
- 818
- 00:45:58,979 --> 00:46:00,778
- You have to start talking
- to a little kid.
- 819
- 00:46:00,780 --> 00:46:02,778
- It's a fucking car wash.
- What are you arguing about?
- 820
- 00:46:02,780 --> 00:46:04,410
- What the hell's
- he doing here?
- 821
- 00:46:04,412 --> 00:46:06,710
- Come on, man, look.
- No team events.
- 822
- 00:46:06,712 --> 00:46:08,109
- - It's a...
- - This has been explained to you.
- 823
- 00:46:08,111 --> 00:46:10,576
- Bro, I'm not arguing
- with you over no car wash.
- 824
- 00:46:10,578 --> 00:46:12,576
- - What's your problem?
- - It's a fundraiser for the team.
- 825
- 00:46:12,578 --> 00:46:14,943
- Coach Reeves, it's my fault.
- I invited Deshaun.
- 826
- 00:46:14,945 --> 00:46:16,911
- I didn't realize
- it violated
- 827
- 00:46:16,913 --> 00:46:18,577
- the terms of his agreement
- with the school.
- 828
- 00:46:18,579 --> 00:46:20,577
- Do you mind if we talk about
- an assignment real quick
- 829
- 00:46:20,579 --> 00:46:21,547
- before he goes?
- 830
- 00:46:23,478 --> 00:46:25,044
- As long
- as it's quick.
- 831
- 00:46:25,046 --> 00:46:27,878
- Cool. Thanks, Coach.
- Come on, bro.
- 832
- 00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,844
- - Sorry about that.
- - No, fuck his bitch ass, man.
- 833
- 00:46:30,846 --> 00:46:34,543
- That nigga always undermining
- with me, bro, from day one.
- 834
- 00:46:34,545 --> 00:46:36,443
- Well we're getting killed
- on these distance events
- 835
- 00:46:36,445 --> 00:46:39,476
- without you, bro.
- Corey can't run for shit
- 836
- 00:46:39,478 --> 00:46:41,878
- unless there's pussy
- waiting at the finish line.
- 837
- 00:46:44,779 --> 00:46:47,077
- Don't know. If it's anything
- like his sister's pussy,
- 838
- 00:46:47,079 --> 00:46:49,711
- that shit got stains on it.
- 839
- 00:46:49,713 --> 00:46:52,510
- So I've heard.
- 840
- 00:46:52,512 --> 00:46:54,610
- What's going on with you
- and Mike Jeffs?
- 841
- 00:46:54,612 --> 00:46:56,644
- I've been seeing you hanging
- with him and his boys.
- 842
- 00:46:56,646 --> 00:46:58,780
- I didn't know you all
- were tight like that.
- 843
- 00:47:01,512 --> 00:47:05,577
- I don't know. It ain't like
- future Nobel Laureates and shit.
- 844
- 00:47:05,579 --> 00:47:07,544
- You don't have to be
- a Nobel Laureate
- 845
- 00:47:07,546 --> 00:47:10,110
- to know that Mike Jeffs
- is bad news, bro.
- 846
- 00:47:10,112 --> 00:47:12,110
- Why you getting mixed up
- with those guys?
- 847
- 00:47:12,112 --> 00:47:14,878
- What the fuck? Chill out,
- all right? I'm good.
- 848
- 00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:16,943
- Damn, my pants
- too low, too?
- 849
- 00:47:16,945 --> 00:47:19,143
- I gotta hike them up if I want
- to make something of myself?
- 850
- 00:47:19,145 --> 00:47:21,744
- Na, my nigga, don't come over
- here and try to patronize me.
- 851
- 00:47:21,746 --> 00:47:23,043
- Come on, man.
- 852
- 00:47:23,045 --> 00:47:24,810
- I don't know if you've
- been busy distracted
- 853
- 00:47:24,812 --> 00:47:27,410
- with Wilson and the rest of
- these fake-ass motherfuckers
- 854
- 00:47:27,412 --> 00:47:30,043
- sucking your dick 24/7
- but my shit is done, bro.
- 855
- 00:47:30,045 --> 00:47:31,480
- It's finished.
- 856
- 00:47:33,078 --> 00:47:35,714
- As a matter of fact, how many
- time we smoke together, Luce?
- 857
- 00:47:37,413 --> 00:47:39,512
- How many times you come
- to my crib and blaze?
- 858
- 00:47:41,179 --> 00:47:44,544
- Yo, Wilson finds weed in my
- locker and now I'm off the team.
- 859
- 00:47:44,546 --> 00:47:46,513
- That's my scholarship gone.
- 860
- 00:47:48,779 --> 00:47:50,379
- Why me and not you, my nigga?
- 861
- 00:47:52,545 --> 00:47:54,510
- Answer the question.
- Why me and not you?
- 862
- 00:47:54,512 --> 00:47:56,144
- - I don't know.
- - You don't know.
- 863
- 00:47:56,146 --> 00:47:57,844
- You know what the fuck
- I'm talking about.
- 864
- 00:47:57,846 --> 00:47:59,677
- It's because
- they want you to win.
- 865
- 00:47:59,679 --> 00:48:03,711
- Otherwise, all their little up
- by your own bootstraps bullshit,
- 866
- 00:48:03,713 --> 00:48:04,647
- it don't apply.
- 867
- 00:48:06,513 --> 00:48:08,512
- But then again,
- why am I trippin'?
- 868
- 00:48:10,413 --> 00:48:12,410
- Gotta have at least
- one Obama, right?
- 869
- 00:48:12,412 --> 00:48:13,977
- I didn't ask
- for this, man.
- 870
- 00:48:13,979 --> 00:48:15,677
- Oh, you didn't
- ask for this.
- 871
- 00:48:15,679 --> 00:48:18,714
- Word. So, what, you want
- to trade or something?
- 872
- 00:48:23,412 --> 00:48:24,411
- Yeah.
- 873
- 00:48:24,413 --> 00:48:25,946
- Yeah, I didn't think so.
- 874
- 00:48:27,146 --> 00:48:28,380
- Deshaun...
- 875
- 00:48:30,813 --> 00:48:32,046
- I want to make this right.
- 876
- 00:48:43,579 --> 00:48:44,979
- Ro?
- 877
- 00:48:46,813 --> 00:48:48,046
- Ro?
- 878
- 00:48:53,979 --> 00:48:55,380
- Ro?
- 879
- 00:48:56,978 --> 00:48:58,646
- Oh, God.
- 880
- 00:49:26,879 --> 00:49:28,744
- Hey.
- 881
- 00:49:28,746 --> 00:49:30,744
- - No, no...
- - Shhh.
- 882
- 00:49:30,746 --> 00:49:32,711
- I was...
- 883
- 00:49:32,713 --> 00:49:37,110
- I was walking and I was trying
- to make it there and then...
- 884
- 00:49:37,112 --> 00:49:40,411
- the food, the food was...
- 885
- 00:49:40,413 --> 00:49:41,744
- Shhh!
- 886
- 00:49:41,746 --> 00:49:44,677
- - I'll clean it. I'll clean up.
- - You're okay.
- 887
- 00:49:44,679 --> 00:49:47,876
- - I'll clean it up.
- - Shhh.
- 888
- 00:49:47,878 --> 00:49:50,976
- Breathe. Breathe.
- 889
- 00:49:57,846 --> 00:49:59,510
- Hey! Sorry I'm late.
- 890
- 00:49:59,512 --> 00:50:02,112
- No. Please, sit.
- 891
- 00:50:03,812 --> 00:50:06,411
- They screwed up the order.
- I asked for cappuccinos
- 892
- 00:50:06,413 --> 00:50:07,910
- and they gave us
- Frappuccinos.
- 893
- 00:50:07,912 --> 00:50:09,810
- - I like these more.
- - Oh, you do?
- 894
- 00:50:09,812 --> 00:50:12,676
- Can't make it to the dinner
- without at least three of them.
- 895
- 00:50:12,678 --> 00:50:15,778
- Okay.
- 896
- 00:50:15,780 --> 00:50:19,177
- - Thank you.
- - No, thank you for, um,
- 897
- 00:50:19,179 --> 00:50:21,842
- meeting me.
- This must be a little weird.
- 898
- 00:50:21,844 --> 00:50:23,842
- It is.
- 899
- 00:50:23,844 --> 00:50:26,644
- Okay. Um, yeah, well
- I guess I was hoping
- 900
- 00:50:26,646 --> 00:50:29,910
- you could help me with
- something to do with Luce.
- 901
- 00:50:29,912 --> 00:50:31,677
- We don't really
- talk a lot anymore.
- 902
- 00:50:31,679 --> 00:50:36,143
- - Oh, you don't?
- - Not since we broke up.
- 903
- 00:50:36,145 --> 00:50:37,644
- What?
- 904
- 00:50:37,646 --> 00:50:39,443
- You didn't know
- we broke up?
- 905
- 00:50:39,445 --> 00:50:41,012
- I didn't know you dated.
- 906
- 00:50:41,911 --> 00:50:42,912
- Oh.
- 907
- 00:50:44,780 --> 00:50:46,780
- Um, for how long?
- 908
- 00:50:49,078 --> 00:50:50,942
- Um... Mrs. Edgar,
- 909
- 00:50:50,944 --> 00:50:52,577
- I don't feel
- comfortable
- 910
- 00:50:52,579 --> 00:50:54,410
- - telling you about me and Luce.
- - Yeah, of course.
- 911
- 00:50:54,412 --> 00:50:57,577
- Because I don't know
- why you want to know.
- 912
- 00:50:57,579 --> 00:51:00,744
- - Okay. Let me explain myself.
- - Yeah.
- 913
- 00:51:00,746 --> 00:51:03,743
- - This is about Harriet Wilson.
- - What?
- 914
- 00:51:03,745 --> 00:51:05,910
- I need to know
- what she did to you.
- 915
- 00:51:05,912 --> 00:51:07,610
- Because Luce told us
- 916
- 00:51:07,612 --> 00:51:10,544
- that when she found out
- what happened at the party...
- 917
- 00:51:10,546 --> 00:51:13,510
- Luce swore he wouldn't tell
- what happened at the party.
- 918
- 00:51:13,512 --> 00:51:15,546
- I thought he didn't know
- what happened.
- 919
- 00:51:17,746 --> 00:51:18,776
- I should go.
- 920
- 00:51:18,778 --> 00:51:20,677
- No, wait.
- Stephanie, please.
- 921
- 00:51:20,679 --> 00:51:22,476
- Listen to me.
- 922
- 00:51:22,478 --> 00:51:25,843
- I just want to know
- the truth, Okay?
- 923
- 00:51:25,845 --> 00:51:29,076
- Now, if Ms. Wilson made you
- feel like whatever happened
- 924
- 00:51:29,078 --> 00:51:32,477
- should be some kind of
- a political statement,
- 925
- 00:51:32,479 --> 00:51:33,910
- then that's wrong of her.
- 926
- 00:51:33,912 --> 00:51:37,510
- As women what we need to do
- is support each other.
- 927
- 00:51:37,512 --> 00:51:38,546
- Do you understand?
- 928
- 00:51:40,445 --> 00:51:41,643
- I'm not sure.
- 929
- 00:51:41,645 --> 00:51:43,742
- I want to support you.
- 930
- 00:51:43,744 --> 00:51:45,646
- You deserve to be supported.
- 931
- 00:51:50,446 --> 00:51:51,413
- Okay.
- 932
- 00:51:55,713 --> 00:51:58,743
- But for me to do that
- I need to know what happened.
- 933
- 00:51:58,745 --> 00:52:01,611
- It's easy to say that.
- 934
- 00:52:01,613 --> 00:52:05,043
- But once you know something,
- you can't un-know it.
- 935
- 00:52:05,045 --> 00:52:07,746
- I want to know,
- no matter what.
- 936
- 00:52:09,445 --> 00:52:10,613
- Please.
- 937
- 00:52:30,678 --> 00:52:34,009
- Harriet, please...
- 938
- 00:52:34,011 --> 00:52:37,042
- I'm sorry. I can't think of
- any other way to resolve this.
- 939
- 00:52:37,044 --> 00:52:40,411
- You suffer from
- a condition, Ro.
- 940
- 00:52:40,413 --> 00:52:43,411
- And it's clear my home is no
- longer an ideal environment.
- 941
- 00:52:43,413 --> 00:52:44,810
- You sound like
- one of them doctors
- 942
- 00:52:44,812 --> 00:52:46,077
- she about to
- dump me with again.
- 943
- 00:52:46,079 --> 00:52:48,644
- - I'm not dumping you.
- - Oh really?
- 944
- 00:52:48,646 --> 00:52:50,046
- That's what it
- feels like, Harriet!
- 945
- 00:52:52,478 --> 00:52:54,009
- Come on, now.
- 946
- 00:52:54,011 --> 00:52:56,411
- Don't make a scene.
- Don't make a scene.
- 947
- 00:52:56,413 --> 00:52:57,979
- Harriet!
- 948
- 00:52:59,578 --> 00:53:00,842
- - Ro...
- - It's fine.
- 949
- 00:53:00,844 --> 00:53:02,544
- It's fine, it's fine...
- 950
- 00:53:02,546 --> 00:53:03,679
- It's fine!
- 951
- 00:53:13,412 --> 00:53:17,012
- Harriet!
- 952
- 00:53:21,744 --> 00:53:23,112
- Orlicki had a party.
- 953
- 00:53:25,979 --> 00:53:27,643
- I was drunk.
- 954
- 00:53:27,645 --> 00:53:29,942
- I had gone with two friends.
- All three of us were drunk.
- 955
- 00:53:29,944 --> 00:53:32,476
- Please don't tell anyone
- this, it's embarrassing.
- 956
- 00:53:32,478 --> 00:53:35,446
- No, no, this is between us.
- I promise.
- 957
- 00:53:37,011 --> 00:53:42,144
- People kept having shots of
- stuff that tasted like syrup
- 958
- 00:53:42,146 --> 00:53:46,109
- and I just kept drinking it
- because it was easy
- 959
- 00:53:46,111 --> 00:53:48,845
- but I got dizzy.
- 960
- 00:53:49,911 --> 00:53:51,546
- I lost my friends.
- 961
- 00:53:53,479 --> 00:53:56,012
- Orlicki found me and told me
- to go lie down in the basement.
- 962
- 00:53:58,445 --> 00:54:00,177
- It was dark.
- 963
- 00:54:00,179 --> 00:54:01,745
- I couldn't see.
- 964
- 00:54:03,478 --> 00:54:04,943
- I felt my way
- over to the couch
- 965
- 00:54:04,945 --> 00:54:06,813
- but there were
- people there.
- 966
- 00:54:08,912 --> 00:54:11,777
- Next, someone said we should
- play the Santa Claus game.
- 967
- 00:54:11,779 --> 00:54:12,513
- What's that?
- 968
- 00:54:13,945 --> 00:54:17,477
- It's this stupid game
- that guys play
- 969
- 00:54:17,479 --> 00:54:20,477
- where a girl gets passed
- around from lap to lap
- 970
- 00:54:20,479 --> 00:54:22,410
- and depending on how far
- she lets them go
- 971
- 00:54:22,412 --> 00:54:24,675
- or how much they like you
- sitting on them,
- 972
- 00:54:24,677 --> 00:54:26,842
- they rate you
- from one to three.
- 973
- 00:54:26,844 --> 00:54:28,076
- Ho ho hos.
- 974
- 00:54:28,078 --> 00:54:29,678
- My God, that can't be real.
- 975
- 00:54:31,012 --> 00:54:32,447
- There are worse games.
- 976
- 00:54:34,012 --> 00:54:34,946
- Anyway,
- 977
- 00:54:36,478 --> 00:54:38,012
- they started
- passing me around.
- 978
- 00:54:39,545 --> 00:54:42,777
- I kept thinking,
- "God,
- 979
- 00:54:42,779 --> 00:54:44,943
- what if I throw up
- right now?
- 980
- 00:54:44,945 --> 00:54:46,813
- How embarrassing
- would that be?"
- 981
- 00:54:49,079 --> 00:54:51,646
- When they started,
- they were laughing.
- 982
- 00:54:52,711 --> 00:54:54,479
- But the longer
- it went on...
- 983
- 00:54:56,112 --> 00:55:00,379
- And it felt like
- it went on forever.
- 984
- 00:55:02,578 --> 00:55:05,979
- All I could hear
- was breathing.
- 985
- 00:55:08,413 --> 00:55:10,110
- Breathing,
- 986
- 00:55:10,112 --> 00:55:12,977
- and counting.
- 987
- 00:55:12,979 --> 00:55:15,046
- One, two,
- 988
- 00:55:16,445 --> 00:55:17,977
- two,
- 989
- 00:55:17,979 --> 00:55:19,080
- three...
- 990
- 00:55:20,044 --> 00:55:22,878
- One, two...
- 991
- 00:55:24,145 --> 00:55:25,144
- At some point
- 992
- 00:55:25,146 --> 00:55:26,642
- I definitely said
- 993
- 00:55:26,644 --> 00:55:28,009
- I wanted them to stop.
- 994
- 00:55:28,011 --> 00:55:30,143
- But maybe it sounded
- like I was joking
- 995
- 00:55:30,145 --> 00:55:33,446
- or maybe it was just something
- I said to myself in my head...
- 996
- 00:55:35,545 --> 00:55:39,045
- There were hands
- everywhere.
- 997
- 00:55:41,544 --> 00:55:43,778
- It was like
- they were swallowing me.
- 998
- 00:55:46,945 --> 00:55:49,479
- And sometimes
- in their laps
- 999
- 00:55:51,044 --> 00:55:54,380
- I could feel...
- 1000
- 00:55:55,778 --> 00:55:57,045
- Oh!
- 1001
- 00:55:57,979 --> 00:55:58,913
- Oh.
- 1002
- 00:56:00,578 --> 00:56:01,879
- Gross.
- 1003
- 00:56:04,979 --> 00:56:06,609
- Um.
- 1004
- 00:56:06,611 --> 00:56:10,077
- When I woke up,
- Luce was there.
- 1005
- 00:56:10,079 --> 00:56:12,010
- He said he found them
- and told them to stop.
- 1006
- 00:56:13,612 --> 00:56:15,240
- And he stayed with me
- the rest of the night.
- 1007
- 00:56:54,670 --> 00:56:56,372
- Is it possible that...?
- 1008
- 00:56:57,904 --> 00:56:59,135
- Was Luce one of the guys?
- 1009
- 00:56:59,137 --> 00:57:01,002
- He wouldn't do that.
- 1010
- 00:57:01,004 --> 00:57:02,704
- - But he...
- - He just wouldn't.
- 1011
- 00:57:08,603 --> 00:57:09,971
- What happened
- with Ms. Wilson?
- 1012
- 00:57:11,636 --> 00:57:14,037
- There were
- a lot of rumors.
- 1013
- 00:57:15,770 --> 00:57:17,500
- It was
- at the same time
- 1014
- 00:57:17,502 --> 00:57:19,169
- Deshaun Meeks got
- kicked off the team
- 1015
- 00:57:19,171 --> 00:57:22,202
- because Wilson found
- weed in his locker.
- 1016
- 00:57:22,204 --> 00:57:25,667
- She searched
- Deshaun's locker?
- 1017
- 00:57:25,669 --> 00:57:27,600
- And called
- the cops.
- 1018
- 00:57:27,602 --> 00:57:30,668
- I didn't want that.
- What would I say?
- 1019
- 00:57:30,670 --> 00:57:32,102
- I couldn't
- remember anything
- 1020
- 00:57:32,104 --> 00:57:36,067
- and I definitely didn't tell
- everyone I was drunk.
- 1021
- 00:57:36,069 --> 00:57:37,137
- What did Luce say?
- 1022
- 00:57:38,470 --> 00:57:41,138
- He said I was right
- not to tell.
- 1023
- 00:57:42,703 --> 00:57:44,902
- Because he was protecting
- his friends.
- 1024
- 00:57:44,904 --> 00:57:46,768
- Because he was
- protecting me.
- 1025
- 00:57:46,770 --> 00:57:49,471
- He didn't want me to do
- anything I didn't want to do.
- 1026
- 00:57:54,869 --> 00:57:56,371
- Why did you two break up?
- 1027
- 00:57:57,770 --> 00:57:58,738
- I don't know.
- 1028
- 00:58:00,669 --> 00:58:01,804
- I miss him.
- 1029
- 00:58:03,171 --> 00:58:05,404
- He's the best boyfriend
- I ever had.
- 1030
- 00:58:12,769 --> 00:58:14,004
- Stephanie...
- 1031
- 00:58:15,436 --> 00:58:17,568
- I'm really sorry
- for what happened.
- 1032
- 00:58:17,570 --> 00:58:18,567
- Don't be.
- 1033
- 00:58:20,970 --> 00:58:22,437
- Everything is fine now.
- 1034
- 00:59:00,536 --> 00:59:02,437
- - Hey!
- - Hey.
- 1035
- 00:59:06,869 --> 00:59:07,970
- Where were you?
- 1036
- 00:59:09,003 --> 00:59:10,804
- Emergency patient.
- 1037
- 00:59:11,737 --> 00:59:13,105
- Oh, really?
- 1038
- 00:59:23,769 --> 00:59:25,903
- - Karen seems good.
- - Yeah, she is.
- 1039
- 00:59:27,137 --> 00:59:28,504
- They're happy.
- 1040
- 00:59:29,569 --> 00:59:31,768
- The baby fidgets.
- 1041
- 00:59:31,770 --> 00:59:34,738
- Mm-hm. I think that's
- just a baby thing.
- 1042
- 00:59:39,503 --> 00:59:40,701
- Are you drunk?
- 1043
- 00:59:44,171 --> 00:59:48,035
- So you don't think it's
- that baby in particular.
- 1044
- 00:59:48,037 --> 00:59:49,003
- How would I know?
- 1045
- 00:59:50,470 --> 00:59:52,504
- I mean,
- I don't know, so...
- 1046
- 00:59:53,137 --> 00:59:54,901
- how would I know?
- 1047
- 00:59:54,903 --> 00:59:55,904
- Yeah.
- 1048
- 00:59:56,736 --> 00:59:58,135
- Right?
- 1049
- 00:59:58,137 --> 01:00:01,435
- Mm, yeah,
- I guess you wouldn't.
- 1050
- 01:00:01,437 --> 01:00:02,571
- No.
- 1051
- 01:00:03,836 --> 01:00:06,169
- You know, it's not Luce's fault
- 1052
- 01:00:06,171 --> 01:00:08,535
- you were denied diaper
- changing privileges.
- 1053
- 01:00:08,537 --> 01:00:10,671
- No.
- 1054
- 01:00:13,037 --> 01:00:14,801
- Thanks.
- 1055
- 01:00:14,803 --> 01:00:16,500
- Look, we made a choice.
- 1056
- 01:00:16,502 --> 01:00:19,138
- I'm okay with that as long
- as you recognize it cost us.
- 1057
- 01:00:20,137 --> 01:00:21,138
- Which means?
- 1058
- 01:00:22,603 --> 01:00:25,101
- I did want something
- different once.
- 1059
- 01:00:25,103 --> 01:00:26,703
- Ten years and
- you're trapped.
- 1060
- 01:00:27,502 --> 01:00:28,934
- Your words.
- 1061
- 01:00:28,936 --> 01:00:31,567
- Well, you said it.
- You wanted something different.
- 1062
- 01:00:31,569 --> 01:00:34,034
- - I did, yeah.
- - Like what?
- 1063
- 01:00:34,036 --> 01:00:37,871
- Look, I'm proud of our son.
- 1064
- 01:00:39,470 --> 01:00:42,701
- Okay, I love him.
- I love him
- 1065
- 01:00:42,703 --> 01:00:46,002
- more than I'll ever
- understand, okay?
- 1066
- 01:00:46,004 --> 01:00:49,169
- But we spent years
- with him in therapy
- 1067
- 01:00:49,171 --> 01:00:51,002
- and rehabilitation.
- 1068
- 01:00:51,004 --> 01:00:52,634
- Our friends
- couldn't understand
- 1069
- 01:00:52,636 --> 01:00:55,535
- why we didn't just
- have a kid of our own.
- 1070
- 01:00:55,537 --> 01:00:57,034
- And so while they
- fell away doing
- 1071
- 01:00:57,036 --> 01:01:00,434
- what normal
- fucking people do,
- 1072
- 01:01:00,436 --> 01:01:02,802
- we worked our asses off
- to give him a life,
- 1073
- 01:01:02,804 --> 01:01:06,168
- at the expense of our own.
- So to pretend that
- 1074
- 01:01:06,170 --> 01:01:08,034
- that didn't
- cost us anything
- 1075
- 01:01:08,036 --> 01:01:09,534
- - is bullshit.
- - I wasn't pretending.
- 1076
- 01:01:09,536 --> 01:01:11,870
- You are!
- Amy.
- 1077
- 01:01:13,702 --> 01:01:14,636
- You are.
- 1078
- 01:01:15,769 --> 01:01:17,968
- You want so
- desperately for him
- 1079
- 01:01:17,970 --> 01:01:19,734
- to be what you want him to be,
- you're ignoring
- 1080
- 01:01:19,736 --> 01:01:21,634
- what's right
- in front of you.
- 1081
- 01:01:21,636 --> 01:01:22,871
- What he is, is
- 1082
- 01:01:23,904 --> 01:01:26,067
- - our son.
- - Right.
- 1083
- 01:01:26,069 --> 01:01:27,837
- And nothing's going
- to change that.
- 1084
- 01:01:28,903 --> 01:01:29,971
- Right.
- 1085
- 01:01:32,003 --> 01:01:33,071
- So...
- 1086
- 01:01:35,004 --> 01:01:36,068
- fuck this.
- 1087
- 01:01:36,070 --> 01:01:37,470
- Fuck you.
- 1088
- 01:01:52,636 --> 01:01:53,737
- I came here
- 1089
- 01:01:54,670 --> 01:01:56,668
- to America,
- 1090
- 01:01:56,670 --> 01:01:58,071
- to this school,
- 1091
- 01:01:59,769 --> 01:02:01,037
- and I found myself.
- 1092
- 01:02:05,569 --> 01:02:08,470
- When I first met my mother,
- she couldn't pronounce my name.
- 1093
- 01:02:09,869 --> 01:02:13,434
- She tried over and over
- to get the emphasis
- 1094
- 01:02:13,436 --> 01:02:16,102
- on the syllables
- correct, but...
- 1095
- 01:02:16,104 --> 01:02:17,437
- she just couldn't.
- 1096
- 01:02:20,037 --> 01:02:22,738
- So my father suggested
- that they rename me.
- 1097
- 01:02:31,603 --> 01:02:33,667
- They picked Luce,
- 1098
- 01:02:33,669 --> 01:02:34,837
- and, uh...
- 1099
- 01:02:41,036 --> 01:02:43,168
- I thought about that
- when I was figuring out
- 1100
- 01:02:43,170 --> 01:02:44,971
- what to say
- to you all tonight.
- 1101
- 01:02:47,670 --> 01:02:50,604
- And I realized how lucky
- I am to be an American.
- 1102
- 01:02:52,553 --> 01:02:54,654
- Because here I got
- the chance to start over.
- 1103
- 01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:58,221
- To redefine myself.
- 1104
- 01:03:00,420 --> 01:03:02,621
- Here we can be who we choose.
- Here...
- 1105
- 01:03:56,986 --> 01:03:59,619
- Remember that fish
- we got him for his birthday?
- 1106
- 01:04:04,987 --> 01:04:07,452
- - Dennis.
- - Yeah, that's right.
- 1107
- 01:04:07,454 --> 01:04:10,021
- Yeah. Poor Dennis.
- 1108
- 01:04:12,186 --> 01:04:15,218
- Yeah. The way he just
- pulled him out
- 1109
- 01:04:15,220 --> 01:04:17,651
- and threw him across
- the room like that.
- 1110
- 01:04:17,653 --> 01:04:20,087
- Like a piece
- of deli meat.
- 1111
- 01:04:22,287 --> 01:04:24,354
- "I just wanted
- to see him fly, mom."
- 1112
- 01:04:31,086 --> 01:04:32,954
- We didn't screw up,
- did we?
- 1113
- 01:04:35,619 --> 01:04:36,654
- No.
- 1114
- 01:04:39,619 --> 01:04:41,186
- Everything's fine.
- 1115
- 01:05:26,187 --> 01:05:30,384
- So, what does it mean
- to speak in code?
- 1116
- 01:05:30,386 --> 01:05:33,417
- Well, it tells you about
- a particular group.
- 1117
- 01:05:33,419 --> 01:05:35,484
- The necessity to have
- a shared vocabulary.
- 1118
- 01:05:35,486 --> 01:05:36,586
- Sorry.
- 1119
- 01:05:39,353 --> 01:05:44,250
- To have common struggles
- in a society.
- 1120
- 01:05:44,252 --> 01:05:46,150
- You see,
- language is a bond.
- 1121
- 01:05:46,152 --> 01:05:48,284
- It's how we tell each other
- apart, but more importantly,
- 1122
- 01:05:48,286 --> 01:05:49,583
- it's how we stick together.
- 1123
- 01:05:49,585 --> 01:05:51,650
- Excuse me, Ms. Wilson,
- 1124
- 01:05:51,652 --> 01:05:53,484
- I need you to come
- with me please.
- 1125
- 01:05:53,486 --> 01:05:54,620
- Right now.
- 1126
- 01:06:06,486 --> 01:06:08,984
- Where's my sister?
- 1127
- 01:06:08,986 --> 01:06:10,517
- She works here. She is here.
- 1128
- 01:06:10,519 --> 01:06:12,017
- - Rosemary!
- - Where's my sister?
- 1129
- 01:06:12,019 --> 01:06:16,251
- Rosemary! I'm right here.
- I'm right here.
- 1130
- 01:06:16,253 --> 01:06:17,517
- Now come on,
- let's go home.
- 1131
- 01:06:17,519 --> 01:06:19,984
- - You don't want me at home.
- - That's not true.
- 1132
- 01:06:19,986 --> 01:06:23,452
- You won't...
- You're ashamed of me.
- 1133
- 01:06:23,454 --> 01:06:24,984
- I am not.
- 1134
- 01:06:24,986 --> 01:06:28,217
- You hate me.
- 1135
- 01:06:28,219 --> 01:06:30,085
- - Don't talk nonsense, Ro.
- - You hate me.
- 1136
- 01:06:30,087 --> 01:06:32,251
- Shh. Look at me.
- 1137
- 01:06:32,253 --> 01:06:34,117
- Hey, hey!
- Put those phones away.
- 1138
- 01:06:34,119 --> 01:06:37,584
- You're embarrassed.
- You're embarrassed!
- 1139
- 01:06:37,586 --> 01:06:39,984
- - You're embarrassed!
- - Stop this!
- 1140
- 01:06:39,986 --> 01:06:41,284
- Stop it right now, Rose!
- 1141
- 01:06:41,286 --> 01:06:45,117
- She's embarrassed!
- She's embarrassed of me!
- 1142
- 01:06:45,119 --> 01:06:46,484
- You're embarrassed of me!
- 1143
- 01:06:46,486 --> 01:06:50,516
- I am your black
- nigger bitch sister!
- 1144
- 01:06:50,518 --> 01:06:54,184
- This your blood.
- Not these white folk.
- 1145
- 01:06:54,186 --> 01:06:56,985
- I am your blood.
- You can't get rid of blood.
- 1146
- 01:06:56,987 --> 01:07:02,351
- You can't run from blood!
- I am your sister! You...
- 1147
- 01:07:02,353 --> 01:07:03,750
- Hey!
- 1148
- 01:07:03,752 --> 01:07:06,750
- - She's-she's sick officers.
- - Don't run!
- 1149
- 01:07:06,752 --> 01:07:09,250
- Relax! Calm down!
- 1150
- 01:07:09,252 --> 01:07:10,284
- Relax.
- 1151
- 01:07:10,286 --> 01:07:11,584
- Get off of me!
- Get off of me!
- 1152
- 01:07:11,586 --> 01:07:13,217
- - Calm down.
- - Get off of me!
- 1153
- 01:07:13,219 --> 01:07:14,550
- Relax or
- you'll be tased.
- 1154
- 01:07:14,552 --> 01:07:16,416
- - Calm down.
- - Get off of me!
- 1155
- 01:07:16,418 --> 01:07:17,718
- I'm going to tase you!
- 1156
- 01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:20,154
- - Calm down! Please!
- - Relax!
- 1157
- 01:07:20,686 --> 01:07:22,417
- Please.
- 1158
- 01:07:24,986 --> 01:07:26,284
- No!
- 1159
- 01:07:26,286 --> 01:07:29,718
- Harriet, Harriet...
- Harriet!
- 1160
- 01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:31,718
- Calm down!
- 1161
- 01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:34,218
- Can you cover her up?
- 1162
- 01:07:34,220 --> 01:07:36,483
- Can you please
- just cover her up?
- 1163
- 01:07:36,485 --> 01:07:39,084
- Put the phones down.
- Get back to class now.
- 1164
- 01:07:39,086 --> 01:07:41,184
- Give me your phone.
- Come on!
- 1165
- 01:07:41,186 --> 01:07:43,683
- I want every single phone
- in this hallway
- 1166
- 01:07:43,685 --> 01:07:45,751
- in my office
- right now.
- 1167
- 01:07:45,753 --> 01:07:47,254
- Every cell phone!
- 1168
- 01:08:02,020 --> 01:08:06,384
- My God! I've never seen
- anything like it in my entire life.
- 1169
- 01:08:06,386 --> 01:08:09,383
- It was insane.
- 1170
- 01:08:09,385 --> 01:08:12,086
- Who knew that Ms. Wilson's
- family was so fucked up?
- 1171
- 01:08:16,686 --> 01:08:18,450
- I am your black, nigger...
- 1172
- 01:08:18,452 --> 01:08:20,653
- - This was today?
- - Yeah, it's crazy, huh?
- 1173
- 01:08:23,518 --> 01:08:24,953
- Oh my God!
- 1174
- 01:08:26,286 --> 01:08:28,287
- - Oh, come on.
- - Oh, fuck.
- 1175
- 01:08:30,019 --> 01:08:31,517
- Where's Harriet?
- 1176
- 01:08:31,519 --> 01:08:33,584
- Um, I think she spent
- most of the day
- 1177
- 01:08:33,586 --> 01:08:36,018
- at the police station
- with her sister.
- 1178
- 01:08:36,020 --> 01:08:37,420
- Just goes to show you.
- 1179
- 01:08:38,252 --> 01:08:39,251
- What?
- 1180
- 01:08:39,253 --> 01:08:41,451
- Nothing, it's just...
- 1181
- 01:08:41,453 --> 01:08:44,284
- You never really know what's
- going on with people.
- 1182
- 01:08:44,286 --> 01:08:47,984
- Like, in life.
- Outside of what you know.
- 1183
- 01:08:47,986 --> 01:08:49,953
- I shouldn't have said
- she was a bitch.
- 1184
- 01:08:53,485 --> 01:08:56,920
- Well, I think I owe you
- an apology, Luce.
- 1185
- 01:08:58,020 --> 01:08:59,584
- - For what?
- - Really.
- 1186
- 01:08:59,586 --> 01:09:01,583
- You've never given me any
- reason to doubt your integrity.
- 1187
- 01:09:01,585 --> 01:09:04,450
- You should know
- we got your back.
- 1188
- 01:09:04,452 --> 01:09:07,686
- - No matter what?
- - No matter what. Asshole.
- 1189
- 01:09:14,053 --> 01:09:16,154
- Put your phones down,
- get back to class now.
- 1190
- 01:10:40,285 --> 01:10:41,452
- Who is it?
- 1191
- 01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:48,353
- I need to talk to you
- about Luce.
- 1192
- 01:10:59,020 --> 01:11:01,350
- Harriet, if you Googled
- "model student"
- 1193
- 01:11:01,352 --> 01:11:03,718
- Luce Edgar's picture would
- come up on the computer
- 1194
- 01:11:03,720 --> 01:11:07,018
- and now you're telling me that
- this kid, graffiti-ed your home?
- 1195
- 01:11:07,020 --> 01:11:08,483
- It's not just
- the graffiti, Dan.
- 1196
- 01:11:08,485 --> 01:11:10,350
- No, he also wrote
- an upsetting paper.
- 1197
- 01:11:10,352 --> 01:11:11,516
- - He argued violence...
- - A paper
- 1198
- 01:11:11,518 --> 01:11:13,085
- that you no longer
- have a copy of.
- 1199
- 01:11:13,087 --> 01:11:14,249
- I gave it to his mother.
- 1200
- 01:11:14,251 --> 01:11:15,717
- An upsetting paper
- where it sounds
- 1201
- 01:11:15,719 --> 01:11:18,450
- like he did exactly what the
- assignment asked him to do.
- 1202
- 01:11:18,452 --> 01:11:20,516
- I know the difference
- between miscommunication
- 1203
- 01:11:20,518 --> 01:11:23,284
- and provocation. I can tell
- the difference between them.
- 1204
- 01:11:23,286 --> 01:11:25,584
- Isn't there a chance,
- just maybe,
- 1205
- 01:11:25,586 --> 01:11:29,416
- that what he wrote
- just went over your head?
- 1206
- 01:11:29,418 --> 01:11:31,352
- I don't mean that
- as a dig.
- 1207
- 01:11:32,652 --> 01:11:34,483
- Come on,
- I think you're brilliant.
- 1208
- 01:11:34,485 --> 01:11:36,551
- I think you're articulate,
- you're a great teacher,
- 1209
- 01:11:36,553 --> 01:11:40,252
- but you know, we all misread
- signals from time to time.
- 1210
- 01:11:42,319 --> 01:11:44,420
- There's an allegation
- of sexual assault.
- 1211
- 01:11:46,419 --> 01:11:48,416
- A student
- came to me and said
- 1212
- 01:11:48,418 --> 01:11:50,653
- Luce sexually assaulted
- her at a party.
- 1213
- 01:11:58,020 --> 01:11:59,150
- - Which student?
- - Dan...
- 1214
- 01:11:59,152 --> 01:12:00,587
- You're talking
- about a crime now.
- 1215
- 01:12:02,452 --> 01:12:04,551
- I'm not gonna ruin a kid's
- life because you come here
- 1216
- 01:12:04,553 --> 01:12:07,717
- with some unsubstantiated
- accusations and hunches.
- 1217
- 01:12:07,719 --> 01:12:09,252
- Then let me prove it.
- 1218
- 01:12:14,285 --> 01:12:15,921
- Hey, what's up?
- 1219
- 01:12:18,585 --> 01:12:20,750
- I didn't buy it before but
- maybe you're right, maybe
- 1220
- 01:12:20,752 --> 01:12:23,216
- she has some kind of weird
- vendetta thing for Luce.
- 1221
- 01:12:23,218 --> 01:12:24,651
- Okay, hold on.
- 1222
- 01:12:24,653 --> 01:12:26,484
- She doesn't get
- what she wants out of you
- 1223
- 01:12:26,486 --> 01:12:27,751
- so then she comes to me.
- 1224
- 01:12:27,753 --> 01:12:30,150
- Then when that doesn't
- work she goes to Dan.
- 1225
- 01:12:30,152 --> 01:12:33,284
- She's having a personal crisis,
- she's taking it out on our son.
- 1226
- 01:12:33,286 --> 01:12:35,117
- Just let me handle it.
- Just let me.
- 1227
- 01:12:35,119 --> 01:12:38,553
- - Okay.
- - Okay. Bye.
- 1228
- 01:13:08,020 --> 01:13:09,185
- What are you
- doing home?
- 1229
- 01:13:10,219 --> 01:13:12,617
- Hey! I, uh,
- 1230
- 01:13:12,619 --> 01:13:15,320
- just needed to pick up
- a few things before practice.
- 1231
- 01:13:18,519 --> 01:13:20,283
- - You see Dan's email?
- - Yeah.
- 1232
- 01:13:20,285 --> 01:13:21,552
- I'm not sure
- what it's about.
- 1233
- 01:13:23,019 --> 01:13:24,516
- I guess we'll just
- wait and see.
- 1234
- 01:13:24,518 --> 01:13:25,552
- Guess so.
- 1235
- 01:13:27,385 --> 01:13:29,686
- I'm, um, I'm taking
- your advice you know.
- 1236
- 01:13:30,485 --> 01:13:32,116
- About what?
- 1237
- 01:13:32,118 --> 01:13:33,984
- The speech.
- 1238
- 01:13:33,986 --> 01:13:37,387
- I'm making it more personal.
- I think you'll be proud.
- 1239
- 01:13:39,453 --> 01:13:40,619
- I'm sure I will be.
- 1240
- 01:13:42,218 --> 01:13:43,684
- So, um,
- 1241
- 01:13:43,686 --> 01:13:45,183
- I'll see you
- at the meeting.
- 1242
- 01:13:45,185 --> 01:13:47,052
- - Six o'clock sharp.
- - Great.
- 1243
- 01:13:53,019 --> 01:13:55,220
- Why didn't you tell me
- you talked to Stephanie?
- 1244
- 01:13:56,986 --> 01:13:58,920
- You didn't think
- she would tell me?
- 1245
- 01:14:01,218 --> 01:14:03,284
- I don't think either of us
- have been great
- 1246
- 01:14:03,286 --> 01:14:04,751
- at keeping each other
- in the loop, Luce.
- 1247
- 01:14:04,753 --> 01:14:06,517
- What are you
- trying to prove?
- 1248
- 01:14:06,519 --> 01:14:08,016
- What are you
- trying to hide?
- 1249
- 01:14:08,018 --> 01:14:09,484
- I'm not trying
- to hide anything.
- 1250
- 01:14:09,486 --> 01:14:12,183
- That's not the impression
- I got from Stephanie.
- 1251
- 01:14:12,185 --> 01:14:14,117
- - What did she say?
- - You tell me.
- 1252
- 01:14:14,119 --> 01:14:15,651
- You're the one
- that talked to her.
- 1253
- 01:14:15,653 --> 01:14:16,651
- - Stop it.
- - Stop what?
- 1254
- 01:14:16,653 --> 01:14:18,317
- - This game.
- - What game?
- 1255
- 01:14:18,319 --> 01:14:20,683
- - What did you do to that girl?
- - What, you think I...?
- 1256
- 01:14:20,685 --> 01:14:22,717
- Never mind what I think.
- What did you do to her?
- 1257
- 01:14:22,719 --> 01:14:25,049
- - I did the right thing.
- - By lying?
- 1258
- 01:14:25,051 --> 01:14:26,984
- She threatened to kill herself.
- Ms. Wilson kept pushing...
- 1259
- 01:14:26,986 --> 01:14:29,317
- By protecting
- the people who hurt her?
- 1260
- 01:14:29,319 --> 01:14:30,551
- I wanted her
- to get better.
- 1261
- 01:14:30,553 --> 01:14:32,117
- Then why didn't you
- ask for help?
- 1262
- 01:14:32,119 --> 01:14:33,616
- - She was better.
- - I think you're lying.
- 1263
- 01:14:33,618 --> 01:14:35,316
- - I'm not lying.
- - Tell me the truth.
- 1264
- 01:14:35,318 --> 01:14:37,451
- - I'm telling you the truth.
- - Stop lying to me.
- 1265
- 01:14:37,453 --> 01:14:40,186
- - I'm not lying.
- - Tell me the fucking truth!
- 1266
- 01:14:48,385 --> 01:14:50,319
- Why did you write that paper?
- 1267
- 01:14:52,752 --> 01:14:55,453
- What if I told you
- it's what I believed?
- 1268
- 01:14:56,318 --> 01:14:57,417
- You believe in
- 1269
- 01:14:57,419 --> 01:15:00,017
- hurting people
- to make a point?
- 1270
- 01:15:00,019 --> 01:15:02,153
- You wouldn't know.
- You never read it, right?
- 1271
- 01:15:07,719 --> 01:15:09,119
- Luce...
- 1272
- 01:15:16,186 --> 01:15:17,186
- I feel like...
- 1273
- 01:15:19,719 --> 01:15:22,352
- you're all waiting for me
- to confirm this thing...
- 1274
- 01:15:23,752 --> 01:15:25,619
- that no one wants
- to say aloud.
- 1275
- 01:15:27,185 --> 01:15:29,019
- And I'm trying
- so hard
- 1276
- 01:15:30,151 --> 01:15:31,552
- not to be that.
- 1277
- 01:15:33,619 --> 01:15:36,116
- But after a while you can't
- help but think that maybe
- 1278
- 01:15:36,118 --> 01:15:38,083
- - you're fighting a losing battle.
- - What do you mean?
- 1279
- 01:15:38,085 --> 01:15:39,416
- I mean
- 1280
- 01:15:39,418 --> 01:15:41,750
- it's like I only get
- to be a saint or a monster.
- 1281
- 01:15:41,752 --> 01:15:44,517
- That's not true.
- We always accepted you
- 1282
- 01:15:44,519 --> 01:15:45,750
- for whoever you are.
- 1283
- 01:15:45,752 --> 01:15:47,387
- I don't believe you, Amy.
- 1284
- 01:15:49,252 --> 01:15:52,751
- And I feel like I'm suffocating.
- Like I can't breathe.
- 1285
- 01:15:52,753 --> 01:15:56,016
- That's why I'm here,
- to help you and to protect you.
- 1286
- 01:15:56,018 --> 01:15:58,386
- What if you're part of what
- I need protecting from?
- 1287
- 01:16:11,752 --> 01:16:13,352
- I'm gonna be late, um...
- 1288
- 01:16:15,285 --> 01:16:16,552
- I'll see you
- at the meeting.
- 1289
- 01:16:44,685 --> 01:16:47,616
- I promise it'll be as
- painless as possible.
- 1290
- 01:16:47,618 --> 01:16:49,684
- We'll be just
- down the hall.
- 1291
- 01:16:49,686 --> 01:16:52,584
- When the time comes,
- I'll escort you in and
- 1292
- 01:16:52,586 --> 01:16:54,617
- you just tell them
- what you told me.
- 1293
- 01:16:54,619 --> 01:16:56,284
- And then that's it,
- you're done.
- 1294
- 01:16:56,286 --> 01:16:57,750
- Luce will be there?
- 1295
- 01:16:57,752 --> 01:17:00,084
- I can have him step out when
- it's time for you to speak.
- 1296
- 01:17:00,086 --> 01:17:02,150
- What about his mom?
- 1297
- 01:17:02,152 --> 01:17:03,149
- She'll be there.
- 1298
- 01:17:03,151 --> 01:17:04,617
- Yes.
- 1299
- 01:17:04,619 --> 01:17:06,420
- Hey, hey, hey!
- 1300
- 01:17:07,318 --> 01:17:08,352
- You're brave.
- 1301
- 01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:11,650
- It's because you show
- courage today, that
- 1302
- 01:17:11,652 --> 01:17:14,185
- someone else doesn't suffer
- like you did tomorrow.
- 1303
- 01:17:16,052 --> 01:17:17,320
- You understand?
- 1304
- 01:17:20,051 --> 01:17:21,186
- Good.
- 1305
- 01:17:22,453 --> 01:17:23,520
- Good.
- 1306
- 01:17:26,985 --> 01:17:28,584
- Five, six, seven, eight.
- 1307
- 01:17:28,586 --> 01:17:29,583

- 1324
- 01:18:14,085 --> 01:18:15,317
- How you doing, Amy?
- 1325
- 01:18:15,319 --> 01:18:17,217
- How you doing, Peter?
- Good to see you.
- 1326
- 01:18:17,219 --> 01:18:19,117
- - Hey, Dan.
- - Dan.
- 1327
- 01:18:19,119 --> 01:18:20,750
- - You all right?
- - Been better.
- 1328
- 01:18:20,752 --> 01:18:22,717
- - How's the clinic?
- - Busy. Always busy.
- 1329
- 01:18:22,719 --> 01:18:24,550
- - Busy is good.
- - Yeah.
- 1330
- 01:18:24,552 --> 01:18:26,219
- Busy is always good.
- 1331
- 01:18:27,619 --> 01:18:29,287
- Here she is.
- 1332
- 01:18:31,185 --> 01:18:32,983
- Harriet Wilson.
- 1333
- 01:18:32,985 --> 01:18:35,017
- You know
- Peter and Amy Edgar.
- 1334
- 01:18:35,019 --> 01:18:36,551
- - Good to see you, Amy. Peter.
- - Good to see you, too.
- 1335
- 01:18:36,553 --> 01:18:38,416
- Good to see you.
- 1336
- 01:18:38,418 --> 01:18:41,419
- So we're just, uh, missing
- the man of the hour here.
- 1337
- 01:18:43,185 --> 01:18:45,016
- He should be along here.
- 1338
- 01:18:45,018 --> 01:18:46,016
- Ah-ha!
- 1339
- 01:18:46,018 --> 01:18:48,150
- - Hey!
- - Hey. Sorry, sorry.
- 1340
- 01:18:48,152 --> 01:18:50,450
- - I lost track of time.
- - Lost track at the track.
- 1341
- 01:18:50,452 --> 01:18:52,483
- Sounds like the Luce I know.
- 1342
- 01:18:52,485 --> 01:18:54,484
- - How are you?
- - I'm great, Principal Towson.
- 1343
- 01:18:54,486 --> 01:18:56,183
- - How are you?
- - Principal Towson.
- 1344
- 01:18:56,185 --> 01:18:58,650
- Notice he's all formal
- now that he's a senior.
- 1345
- 01:18:58,652 --> 01:19:00,350
- Getting ready
- for college, right?
- 1346
- 01:19:00,352 --> 01:19:03,551
- - That's right.
- - Smart man. Smart man.
- 1347
- 01:19:03,553 --> 01:19:05,352
- Have a seat, guys.
- Come on, sit down.
- 1348
- 01:19:08,486 --> 01:19:09,584
- - So...
- - I'd like to...
- 1349
- 01:19:11,519 --> 01:19:13,083
- Go ahead.
- You first.
- 1350
- 01:19:13,085 --> 01:19:15,683
- Well, I guess
- first things first.
- 1351
- 01:19:15,685 --> 01:19:19,317
- There have been a series
- of miscommunications
- 1352
- 01:19:19,319 --> 01:19:22,983
- and I think rather than try
- to hash all that out,
- 1353
- 01:19:22,985 --> 01:19:27,451
- it's probably more productive
- to just acknowledge
- 1354
- 01:19:27,453 --> 01:19:30,016
- some tension has developed
- between Luce and me.
- 1355
- 01:19:30,018 --> 01:19:31,451
- It happens.
- 1356
- 01:19:31,453 --> 01:19:33,483
- Signals get crossed
- and we have to find
- 1357
- 01:19:33,485 --> 01:19:35,317
- a way to untangle the knots,
- 1358
- 01:19:35,319 --> 01:19:38,417
- even if we're not sure how those
- knots got there in first place.
- 1359
- 01:19:38,419 --> 01:19:39,617
- Definitely. And, um.
- 1360
- 01:19:39,619 --> 01:19:41,749
- Um, I just want to apologize
- 1361
- 01:19:41,751 --> 01:19:44,317
- for making you feel
- disrespected.
- 1362
- 01:19:44,319 --> 01:19:46,049
- I've taken on a lot
- this semester,
- 1363
- 01:19:46,051 --> 01:19:48,551
- and not that that's an excuse,
- it's not but...
- 1364
- 01:19:48,553 --> 01:19:52,220
- I haven't been my best self
- lately and I'm sorry for that.
- 1365
- 01:19:54,485 --> 01:19:56,120
- - Thank you, Luce.
- - You're welcome.
- 1366
- 01:19:57,553 --> 01:19:59,517
- This is going really
- well, I think, so far.
- 1367
- 01:19:59,519 --> 01:20:01,184
- Let's talk about
- the threat.
- 1368
- 01:20:01,186 --> 01:20:03,350
- Oh, I'm sorry for that too,
- Ms. Wilson.
- 1369
- 01:20:03,352 --> 01:20:04,351
- Sorry?
- 1370
- 01:20:04,353 --> 01:20:05,649
- Are you admitting it now?
- 1371
- 01:20:05,651 --> 01:20:07,250
- Like I was saying, uh,
- 1372
- 01:20:07,252 --> 01:20:08,984
- given the stress
- I've been under,
- 1373
- 01:20:08,986 --> 01:20:10,750
- I'm sure what I said
- sounded a bit...
- 1374
- 01:20:10,752 --> 01:20:13,682
- No, no, no. I'm sorry,
- but this isn't about some
- 1375
- 01:20:13,684 --> 01:20:16,050
- stress-induced
- problem of tone.
- 1376
- 01:20:16,052 --> 01:20:17,250
- This is about
- one person
- 1377
- 01:20:17,252 --> 01:20:18,717
- suggesting violence
- against another.
- 1378
- 01:20:18,719 --> 01:20:20,649
- - Excuse me?
- - You weren't there, Mr. Edgar.
- 1379
- 01:20:20,651 --> 01:20:23,016
- There are interactions
- that must be experienced
- 1380
- 01:20:23,018 --> 01:20:24,516
- in order to appreciate
- their intent.
- 1381
- 01:20:24,518 --> 01:20:26,116
- Respectfully,
- 1382
- 01:20:26,118 --> 01:20:28,283
- I think you should choose
- your words more carefully.
- 1383
- 01:20:28,285 --> 01:20:30,682
- - My son has just apologized.
- - Has he?
- 1384
- 01:20:30,684 --> 01:20:33,649
- I-I think in the interest
- of moving forward, Harriet,
- 1385
- 01:20:33,651 --> 01:20:36,383
- it would be helpful for you to
- acknowledge Luce did in fact
- 1386
- 01:20:36,385 --> 01:20:38,683
- - apologize.
- - Where were you last night?
- 1387
- 01:20:38,685 --> 01:20:42,050
- - What?
- - My home was vandalized.
- 1388
- 01:20:42,052 --> 01:20:43,384
- Uh, just a second...
- 1389
- 01:20:43,386 --> 01:20:44,717
- I want to know
- where you were between
- 1390
- 01:20:44,719 --> 01:20:46,616
- when school let out
- and I got back to my house.
- 1391
- 01:20:46,618 --> 01:20:49,150
- - I was out.
- - Where?
- 1392
- 01:20:49,152 --> 01:20:50,516
- Is my son being
- accused of a crime?
- 1393
- 01:20:50,518 --> 01:20:52,050
- He sure as hell
- is about to be.
- 1394
- 01:20:52,052 --> 01:20:53,284
- Because if he is,
- 1395
- 01:20:53,286 --> 01:20:54,682
- if he is being
- accused of a crime,
- 1396
- 01:20:54,684 --> 01:20:56,016
- I want a lawyer.
- 1397
- 01:20:56,018 --> 01:20:57,250
- It's fine.
- I didn't do anything.
- 1398
- 01:20:57,252 --> 01:20:58,984
- This woman's sister,
- 1399
- 01:20:58,986 --> 01:21:01,451
- this woman's sister has just
- gone through a very public
- 1400
- 01:21:01,453 --> 01:21:03,749
- - mental breakdown.
- - All right.
- 1401
- 01:21:03,751 --> 01:21:05,416
- How do you know
- she's not responsible?
- 1402
- 01:21:05,418 --> 01:21:06,717
- - My sister wouldn't do that.
- - Neither would my son.
- 1403
- 01:21:06,719 --> 01:21:07,717
- All right, okay.
- 1404
- 01:21:07,719 --> 01:21:09,986
- Everybody just... Luce,
- 1405
- 01:21:11,019 --> 01:21:12,582
- Can you help us out here?
- 1406
- 01:21:12,584 --> 01:21:14,618
- Can you tell us where you
- were after school yesterday?
- 1407
- 01:21:17,318 --> 01:21:19,386
- - I don't want to say.
- - Where were you?
- 1408
- 01:21:22,419 --> 01:21:24,020
- - With friends.
- - Who?
- 1409
- 01:21:25,986 --> 01:21:27,216
- See, he's lying, Dan.
- 1410
- 01:21:27,218 --> 01:21:28,749
- Harriet!
- 1411
- 01:21:28,751 --> 01:21:30,417
- Principal Towson,
- I can explain where I was
- 1412
- 01:21:30,419 --> 01:21:32,683
- but I do not want to
- get people in trouble.
- 1413
- 01:21:32,685 --> 01:21:34,649
- I respect
- your discretion, but,
- 1414
- 01:21:34,651 --> 01:21:37,017
- Luce, your mom,
- your dad, Ms. Wilson,
- 1415
- 01:21:37,019 --> 01:21:41,317
- we're all just trying to pin
- down what's going on here, okay?
- 1416
- 01:21:41,319 --> 01:21:44,117
- And if you know anything,
- if you could help us with that,
- 1417
- 01:21:44,119 --> 01:21:45,552
- it's-it's only going
- to help you.
- 1418
- 01:21:47,185 --> 01:21:48,616
- It's embarrassing for me.
- 1419
- 01:21:48,618 --> 01:21:50,283
- You gotta be kidding.
- 1420
- 01:21:50,285 --> 01:21:51,920
- Harriet.
- 1421
- 01:21:54,485 --> 01:21:56,053
- Go ahead, Luce.
- 1422
- 01:22:05,751 --> 01:22:08,317
- Please don't tell anyone
- I'm showing you this.
- 1423
- 01:22:08,319 --> 01:22:09,653
- It's a violation of trust.
- 1424
- 01:22:15,985 --> 01:22:18,483
- Yeah! What up?
- 1425
- 01:22:39,186 --> 01:22:40,416
- I don't want them
- to get in trouble.
- 1426
- 01:22:40,418 --> 01:22:42,283
- No one's gonna get in trouble.
- 1427
- 01:22:42,285 --> 01:22:43,683
- All right, you guys
- are good kids.
- 1428
- 01:22:43,685 --> 01:22:45,116
- - We all know that.
- - This is bullshit.
- 1429
- 01:22:45,118 --> 01:22:46,582
- Hey, Harriet.
- Excuse me.
- 1430
- 01:22:46,584 --> 01:22:47,519
- Harriet!
- 1431
- 01:22:48,319 --> 01:22:49,353
- Harriet!
- 1432
- 01:22:54,185 --> 01:22:55,120
- Steph...
- 1433
- 01:22:58,252 --> 01:23:00,582
- I think that's
- a really good choice for you.
- 1434
- 01:23:00,584 --> 01:23:03,185
- I know it wasn't on your
- original list but I...
- 1435
- 01:23:04,718 --> 01:23:06,451
- You told her
- to come to me.
- 1436
- 01:23:06,453 --> 01:23:08,682
- - I'm sorry?
- - You told her what to say.
- 1437
- 01:23:08,684 --> 01:23:10,416
- Dan, what is she talking about?
- 1438
- 01:23:10,418 --> 01:23:12,084
- Please, explain, Harriet.
- 1439
- 01:23:12,086 --> 01:23:14,384
- I think Ms. Wilson's
- just been through a lot.
- 1440
- 01:23:14,386 --> 01:23:17,183
- Between what's happened
- with her sister's breakdown
- 1441
- 01:23:17,185 --> 01:23:18,716
- and someone
- vandalizing her house.
- 1442
- 01:23:18,718 --> 01:23:20,084
- She's confused.
- 1443
- 01:23:20,086 --> 01:23:22,550
- Right, Ms. Wilson?
- You're confused.
- 1444
- 01:23:22,552 --> 01:23:24,384
- Luce, I'm going to need you
- to step out for a moment.
- 1445
- 01:23:24,386 --> 01:23:26,716
- I thought this
- meeting was to get together
- 1446
- 01:23:26,718 --> 01:23:28,084
- and figure things out.
- 1447
- 01:23:28,086 --> 01:23:29,984
- I need to speak
- with your parents
- 1448
- 01:23:29,986 --> 01:23:32,552
- and Principal Towson alone.
- Please.
- 1449
- 01:23:34,086 --> 01:23:35,683
- - Sure.
- - No.
- 1450
- 01:23:35,685 --> 01:23:37,017
- He can stay.
- 1451
- 01:23:37,019 --> 01:23:38,084
- Whatever you have
- to say to us,
- 1452
- 01:23:38,086 --> 01:23:39,552
- you can say
- in front of him.
- 1453
- 01:23:41,285 --> 01:23:44,483
- Your son brought illegal
- fireworks onto school property.
- 1454
- 01:23:44,485 --> 01:23:46,184
- - Excuse me?
- - I searches Luce's locker
- 1455
- 01:23:46,186 --> 01:23:47,482
- and I found illegal fireworks.
- 1456
- 01:23:47,484 --> 01:23:49,350
- Why didn't you tell
- me this, Harriet?
- 1457
- 01:23:49,352 --> 01:23:52,550
- Well, hold on.
- The kids share lockers, right?
- 1458
- 01:23:52,552 --> 01:23:55,750
- Well, it makes sense that given
- the kind of student Luce is
- 1459
- 01:23:55,752 --> 01:23:58,016
- someone would think his
- was the safe hiding place.
- 1460
- 01:23:58,018 --> 01:24:00,119
- The fireworks could have
- belonged to anyone.
- 1461
- 01:24:01,286 --> 01:24:02,515
- I've learned my lesson.
- 1462
- 01:24:02,517 --> 01:24:04,017
- I'm going to change
- my combination
- 1463
- 01:24:04,019 --> 01:24:06,183
- and we won't share
- lockers anymore.
- 1464
- 01:24:06,185 --> 01:24:09,551
- Okay. Harriet,
- where are the fireworks now?
- 1465
- 01:24:11,286 --> 01:24:12,253
- Amy?
- 1466
- 01:24:13,417 --> 01:24:14,353
- Yes?
- 1467
- 01:24:15,152 --> 01:24:16,515
- Where are they?
- 1468
- 01:24:16,517 --> 01:24:19,152
- - What do you mean?
- - I gave them to you.
- 1469
- 01:24:22,051 --> 01:24:24,083
- I don't know what
- she's talking about.
- 1470
- 01:24:24,085 --> 01:24:25,350
- What?
- 1471
- 01:24:25,352 --> 01:24:27,017
- Nope. She called me
- 1472
- 01:24:27,019 --> 01:24:28,483
- and she claimed
- she found these fireworks.
- 1473
- 01:24:28,485 --> 01:24:30,216
- She claimed my son
- threatened her.
- 1474
- 01:24:30,218 --> 01:24:31,615
- - Amy!
- - And then she drags us
- 1475
- 01:24:31,617 --> 01:24:33,750
- down here in front of you,
- Dan, and threatens
- 1476
- 01:24:33,752 --> 01:24:35,283
- legal action
- against my son
- 1477
- 01:24:35,285 --> 01:24:37,284
- for a crime he clearly
- didn't commit.
- 1478
- 01:24:37,286 --> 01:24:39,582
- I mean, I'm sorry
- but are we done here?
- 1479
- 01:24:39,584 --> 01:24:41,249
- Can my son go back to
- being the student he was
- 1480
- 01:24:41,251 --> 01:24:43,683
- before this woman
- decided to go after him
- 1481
- 01:24:43,685 --> 01:24:45,717
- on some kind of insane
- witch hunt?
- 1482
- 01:24:45,719 --> 01:24:47,053
- No, Peter...
- 1483
- 01:24:47,718 --> 01:24:49,549
- I think
- 1484
- 01:24:49,551 --> 01:24:52,383
- we're done here,
- Harriet.
- 1485
- 01:24:52,385 --> 01:24:54,615
- No, no, no. Dan...
- 1486
- 01:24:54,617 --> 01:24:55,615
- Yeah, Harriet.
- 1487
- 01:24:55,617 --> 01:24:58,415
- We're done.
- We are done.
- 1488
- 01:24:58,417 --> 01:25:00,150
- Amy, Peter,
- thank you for coming.
- 1489
- 01:25:00,152 --> 01:25:03,217
- I'm very sorry about this.
- I will make it up to you.
- 1490
- 01:25:03,219 --> 01:25:05,983
- I promise.
- Luce, thank you.
- 1491
- 01:25:05,985 --> 01:25:07,682
- - Good night, Principal Towson.
- - Thank you.
- 1492
- 01:25:07,684 --> 01:25:09,386
- All right, Ms. Wilson...
- 1493
- 01:25:10,285 --> 01:25:11,283
- Dan,
- 1494
- 01:25:11,285 --> 01:25:12,482
- Stephanie Kim was in my office.
- 1495
- 01:25:12,484 --> 01:25:14,216
- - Just don't say anything.
- - No, Dan...
- 1496
- 01:25:14,218 --> 01:25:17,116
- We're going to talk
- tomorrow. okay?
- 1497
- 01:25:17,118 --> 01:25:18,619
- - It's okay, we'll talk tomorrow.
- - No.
- 1498
- 01:25:48,317 --> 01:25:50,515
- I can heat up
- leftovers if anyone wants.
- 1499
- 01:25:50,517 --> 01:25:52,017
- No, I'm good.
- 1500
- 01:25:52,019 --> 01:25:54,386
- - Is he mad at me?
- - No, he's fine.
- 1501
- 01:25:55,484 --> 01:25:56,419
- He's just...
- 1502
- 01:25:57,719 --> 01:25:59,450
- Are you hungry?
- 1503
- 01:25:59,452 --> 01:26:01,350
- I should probably
- get to my speech.
- 1504
- 01:26:01,352 --> 01:26:05,049
- Okay. Well, can't
- wait to hear it.
- 1505
- 01:26:05,051 --> 01:26:07,953
- Thanks, Amy.
- Good night.
- 1506
- 01:26:56,085 --> 01:26:58,316
- Whoa! That smells good.
- 1507
- 01:26:58,318 --> 01:27:01,449
- I'm capable of a certain
- level of domesticity.
- 1508
- 01:27:05,485 --> 01:27:07,316
- Want some
- breakfast?
- 1509
- 01:27:07,318 --> 01:27:08,519
- No, thanks.
- 1510
- 01:27:17,585 --> 01:27:20,586
- And the man period
- continues unabated.
- 1511
- 01:27:23,384 --> 01:27:24,919
- Can I get a ride to school?
- 1512
- 01:27:26,317 --> 01:27:27,551
- You want me to drive you?
- 1513
- 01:27:28,384 --> 01:27:29,586
- Yeah, why not?
- 1514
- 01:27:31,185 --> 01:27:32,120
- Okay.
- 1515
- 01:27:44,719 --> 01:27:46,185
- I wonder what happened.
- 1516
- 01:27:50,552 --> 01:27:52,519
- I guess I'll let you
- know if school gets canceled.
- 1517
- 01:28:01,351 --> 01:28:03,984
- This is an impossible situation.
- 1518
- 01:28:03,986 --> 01:28:06,519
- If you hadn't of hidden
- those fireworks, Harriet...
- 1519
- 01:28:08,018 --> 01:28:10,251
- I've given this school
- everything, Dan.
- 1520
- 01:28:12,552 --> 01:28:14,149
- For 15 years I've
- 1521
- 01:28:14,151 --> 01:28:16,449
- given everything
- I have to these kids.
- 1522
- 01:28:16,451 --> 01:28:17,585
- They're my life.
- 1523
- 01:28:19,184 --> 01:28:22,385
- And you know I'm not
- a liar. You know it.
- 1524
- 01:28:24,585 --> 01:28:26,386
- We'll start with
- a leave of absence.
- 1525
- 01:28:27,652 --> 01:28:29,315
- There will be
- an investigation.
- 1526
- 01:28:29,317 --> 01:28:31,050
- Then, Harriet, I have
- to tell you this school
- 1527
- 01:28:31,052 --> 01:28:32,452
- can't stand
- behind you.
- 1528
- 01:28:51,484 --> 01:28:54,215
- No, no, no!
- 1529
- 01:29:02,118 --> 01:29:04,551
- The fire marshal's
- sending the kids home.
- 1530
- 01:29:05,684 --> 01:29:07,386
- What?
- 1531
- 01:29:10,986 --> 01:29:13,419
- - Was anyone hurt?
- - Mm-mm. No.
- 1532
- 01:29:14,986 --> 01:29:18,986
- Good. That's good.
- 1533
- 01:29:21,052 --> 01:29:23,252
- I think we have
- an obligation here.
- 1534
- 01:29:24,185 --> 01:29:25,586
- What does that mean?
- 1535
- 01:29:26,986 --> 01:29:28,652
- Harriet's going
- to lose her job.
- 1536
- 01:29:30,452 --> 01:29:32,085
- There was a fire.
- 1537
- 01:29:34,185 --> 01:29:35,552
- People might
- have been hurt.
- 1538
- 01:29:37,052 --> 01:29:38,319
- No one was.
- 1539
- 01:29:40,151 --> 01:29:42,248
- Could have been Luce. Amy.
- 1540
- 01:29:42,250 --> 01:29:44,383
- He was with us
- all night, Pete.
- 1541
- 01:29:44,385 --> 01:29:46,149
- - So if you're accusing...
- - Really?
- 1542
- 01:29:46,151 --> 01:29:47,549
- No, if you're accusing him,
- 1543
- 01:29:47,551 --> 01:29:50,649
- just think carefully about
- who's side you're on.
- 1544
- 01:29:50,651 --> 01:29:53,383
- - Jesus...
- - We both wanted this.
- 1545
- 01:29:53,385 --> 01:29:54,352
- No, I wanted
- a family.
- 1546
- 01:29:56,351 --> 01:30:01,116
- I wanted something simple
- and sane and normal.
- 1547
- 01:30:01,118 --> 01:30:04,020
- Our lives didn't have to be
- a political fucking statement.
- 1548
- 01:30:04,752 --> 01:30:06,085
- I didn't want...
- 1549
- 01:30:09,185 --> 01:30:10,286
- Him?
- 1550
- 01:30:11,585 --> 01:30:14,151
- Oh, I think there has to be...
- 1551
- 01:30:15,719 --> 01:30:17,149
- some kind of limit.
- 1552
- 01:30:17,151 --> 01:30:19,383
- A limit to what? Tell me.
- 1553
- 01:30:19,385 --> 01:30:21,582
- To how much
- I love him?
- 1554
- 01:30:21,584 --> 01:30:24,182
- To how hard
- I've worked?
- 1555
- 01:30:24,184 --> 01:30:27,183
- To ensure he had a chance
- at life, at success?
- 1556
- 01:30:27,185 --> 01:30:28,349
- No, Pete, I disagree.
- 1557
- 01:30:28,351 --> 01:30:30,149
- There is no limit to that
- 1558
- 01:30:30,151 --> 01:30:31,750
- and some random
- accident at school...
- 1559
- 01:30:31,752 --> 01:30:33,583
- - Ah, fuck, Amy!
- - Listen to me!
- 1560
- 01:30:33,585 --> 01:30:37,985
- Some random accident at school
- is not going to change that.
- 1561
- 01:30:41,719 --> 01:30:43,419
- So just tell me...
- 1562
- 01:30:45,118 --> 01:30:46,519
- who's side you're on.
- 1563
- 01:30:52,718 --> 01:30:54,451
- Our side, Amy.
- 1564
- 01:30:56,652 --> 01:30:58,119
- Ours.
- 1565
- 01:31:01,117 --> 01:31:02,953
- My family's.
- 1566
- 01:31:04,385 --> 01:31:05,953
- Thank you.
- 1567
- 01:31:42,418 --> 01:31:45,083
- - Hey.
- - Luce! Where are you?
- 1568
- 01:31:45,085 --> 01:31:47,683
- I'm leaving school. The fire
- was in Ms. Wilson's classroom.
- 1569
- 01:31:47,685 --> 01:31:49,149
- I feel bad. I want to do
- 1570
- 01:31:49,151 --> 01:31:50,449
- something nice for her.
- 1571
- 01:31:50,451 --> 01:31:52,982
- Come home first.
- I can pick you up.
- 1572
- 01:31:52,984 --> 01:31:54,182
- I will in just a little.
- 1573
- 01:31:54,184 --> 01:31:55,416
- Luce, wait.
- 1574
- 01:31:55,418 --> 01:31:56,586
- Love you.
- 1575
- 01:32:10,051 --> 01:32:11,115
- You gotta be joking.
- 1576
- 01:32:11,117 --> 01:32:12,516
- Deshaun and I
- got the team
- 1577
- 01:32:12,518 --> 01:32:14,015
- to chip in for flowers.
- 1578
- 01:32:14,017 --> 01:32:17,283
- Deshaun? Hm.
- 1579
- 01:32:17,285 --> 01:32:18,282
- What?
- 1580
- 01:32:18,284 --> 01:32:19,750
- Nothing.
- 1581
- 01:32:21,184 --> 01:32:22,418
- I'm allergic.
- 1582
- 01:32:33,117 --> 01:32:34,516
- This is not okay, Luce.
- 1583
- 01:32:34,518 --> 01:32:36,049
- I just want to talk.
- 1584
- 01:32:36,051 --> 01:32:38,019
- Well, this is not okay.
- 1585
- 01:32:48,218 --> 01:32:50,450
- That's awful.
- 1586
- 01:32:50,452 --> 01:32:52,583
- You ever been
- called that?
- 1587
- 01:32:52,585 --> 01:32:53,582
- No.
- 1588
- 01:32:53,584 --> 01:32:55,349
- No wonder you're always
- 1589
- 01:32:55,351 --> 01:32:57,018
- so pleased
- with yourself.
- 1590
- 01:32:58,618 --> 01:33:00,450
- What does
- that mean?
- 1591
- 01:33:00,452 --> 01:33:02,483
- You're mad people
- put you in a box.
- 1592
- 01:33:02,485 --> 01:33:04,482
- - You put me in a box.
- - I protected you.
- 1593
- 01:33:04,484 --> 01:33:05,685
- But not Deshaun.
- 1594
- 01:33:07,051 --> 01:33:09,383
- After you busted him,
- 1595
- 01:33:09,385 --> 01:33:12,082
- you had that meeting
- with me and Corey
- 1596
- 01:33:12,084 --> 01:33:14,983
- and all the other black
- runners on the squad.
- 1597
- 01:33:14,985 --> 01:33:18,650
- And you said
- it is your solemn duty
- 1598
- 01:33:18,652 --> 01:33:20,919
- to never be stereotypes.
- 1599
- 01:33:22,251 --> 01:33:23,586
- Look at Luce.
- 1600
- 01:33:24,552 --> 01:33:25,982
- Be like Luce.
- 1601
- 01:33:25,984 --> 01:33:27,615
- Yes.
- 1602
- 01:33:27,617 --> 01:33:29,585
- And I remember them all
- looking at me.
- 1603
- 01:33:31,018 --> 01:33:32,519
- They weren't jealous.
- 1604
- 01:33:34,150 --> 01:33:36,184
- They were just trying
- to figure it out.
- 1605
- 01:33:37,085 --> 01:33:38,586
- How do I get that?
- 1606
- 01:33:40,652 --> 01:33:43,082
- And all I can think about
- was Deshaun.
- 1607
- 01:33:43,084 --> 01:33:45,350
- All he had was that
- athletic scholarship
- 1608
- 01:33:45,352 --> 01:33:47,082
- and you took it
- from him.
- 1609
- 01:33:47,084 --> 01:33:48,716
- You took it from him
- because he wasn't me.
- 1610
- 01:33:48,718 --> 01:33:50,415
- - Yes.
- - Why?
- 1611
- 01:33:50,417 --> 01:33:52,683
- Because for every Deshaun
- Meeks I don't come down on,
- 1612
- 01:33:52,685 --> 01:33:54,415
- there's a Luce Edgar
- I can't lift out.
- 1613
- 01:33:54,417 --> 01:33:56,015
- That's bullshit.
- 1614
- 01:33:56,017 --> 01:33:57,515
- Why do we have to be
- perfect to be accepted?
- 1615
- 01:33:57,517 --> 01:33:59,182
- Boy, that's our life!
- 1616
- 01:33:59,184 --> 01:34:01,015
- No, you're so
- desperate for approval
- 1617
- 01:34:01,017 --> 01:34:02,383
- that you'll eat your own
- just to get it.
- 1618
- 01:34:02,385 --> 01:34:04,019
- - Whose approval?
- - Who do you think?
- 1619
- 01:34:06,017 --> 01:34:08,585
- Everyone who made you feel like
- being black wasn't good enough.
- 1620
- 01:34:10,685 --> 01:34:13,149
- But I don't need their approval.
- I'm not going to be
- 1621
- 01:34:13,151 --> 01:34:15,716
- somebody's symbol just to
- make them feel better.
- 1622
- 01:34:15,718 --> 01:34:18,084
- You still don't get it.
- 1623
- 01:34:19,084 --> 01:34:21,083
- You don't get it.
- 1624
- 01:34:21,085 --> 01:34:24,183
- It's not just about you
- and it's not about me.
- 1625
- 01:34:24,185 --> 01:34:28,349
- America put you in a box.
- 1626
- 01:34:28,351 --> 01:34:32,049
- And it's tight and it's dirty
- and you can't move.
- 1627
- 01:34:32,051 --> 01:34:34,216
- But guess what? Too bad.
- 1628
- 01:34:34,218 --> 01:34:37,418
- We're all in there together,
- whether you like it or not.
- 1629
- 01:34:39,117 --> 01:34:43,652
- And only so much light
- gets in that box, Luce.
- 1630
- 01:34:45,285 --> 01:34:47,982
- Some people get it,
- and some people don't.
- 1631
- 01:34:47,984 --> 01:34:50,349
- But it's not on you to decide
- who gets it and who doesn't.
- 1632
- 01:34:50,351 --> 01:34:52,618
- You're damn right
- it's on you!
- 1633
- 01:34:54,384 --> 01:34:55,653
- It's on you.
- 1634
- 01:34:57,050 --> 01:35:01,048
- After all,
- who did you use to
- 1635
- 01:35:01,050 --> 01:35:05,051
- do your little errands while you
- were busy establishing alibis?
- 1636
- 01:35:11,151 --> 01:35:12,486
- It's not the same thing.
- 1637
- 01:35:13,150 --> 01:35:14,085
- Hm!
- 1638
- 01:35:15,352 --> 01:35:17,084
- You got a lot to learn,
- little man.
- 1639
- 01:35:19,018 --> 01:35:22,352
- Now you get the fuck
- out of my house.
- 1640
- 01:35:24,985 --> 01:35:26,452
- Get out of my house!
- 1641
- 01:36:29,051 --> 01:36:31,319
- Shit! Shit!
- 1642
- 01:40:01,018 --> 01:40:02,119
- Hey.
- 1643
- 01:40:05,050 --> 01:40:06,052
- Hey.
- 1644
- 01:40:29,150 --> 01:40:30,951
- Are you hiding
- Christmas presents?
- 1645
- 01:40:34,017 --> 01:40:36,651
- That's where you used
- to hide my Christmas presents.
- 1646
- 01:40:40,416 --> 01:40:42,319
- You were always
- so surprised.
- 1647
- 01:40:44,118 --> 01:40:46,052
- I'm good at
- acting surprised.
- 1648
- 01:41:03,184 --> 01:41:04,517
- Here.
- 1649
- 01:41:37,017 --> 01:41:38,352
- Remember Dennis?
- 1650
- 01:41:39,250 --> 01:41:40,450
- Yeah.
- 1651
- 01:41:42,451 --> 01:41:44,618
- Of course
- I remember Dennis.
- 1652
- 01:41:48,285 --> 01:41:50,351
- I thought
- we could try again.
- 1653
- 01:41:56,318 --> 01:41:58,085
- Thanks...
- 1654
- 01:42:00,018 --> 01:42:01,318
- Mom.
- 1655
- 01:42:07,984 --> 01:42:10,584
- You have your whole
- future ahead of you.
- 1656
- 01:42:12,350 --> 01:42:14,118
- Full of potential.
- 1657
- 01:42:16,751 --> 01:42:18,385
- Hope you're right.
- 1658
- 01:42:19,316 --> 01:42:20,651
- I know I'm right, honey.
- 1659
- 01:42:23,251 --> 01:42:24,685
- I know.
- 1660
- 01:43:00,650 --> 01:43:02,682
- Hi, everyone.
- 1661
- 01:43:02,684 --> 01:43:06,148
- I want thank Principal Towson
- for giving me this opportunity.
- 1662
- 01:43:06,150 --> 01:43:08,748
- It means a lot to be able
- to talk with each of you
- 1663
- 01:43:08,750 --> 01:43:10,482
- about my story,
- 1664
- 01:43:10,484 --> 01:43:12,481
- which I'm told
- is pretty unique,
- 1665
- 01:43:12,483 --> 01:43:14,450
- even though I still feel
- pretty regular.
- 1666
- 01:43:16,584 --> 01:43:21,382
- I'm lucky enough to have
- two amazing parents
- 1667
- 01:43:21,384 --> 01:43:22,681
- who when they saw
- my picture
- 1668
- 01:43:22,683 --> 01:43:25,281
- at seven years old
- weren't scared.
- 1669
- 01:43:25,283 --> 01:43:28,449
- Or if they were they did a
- good job of hiding it because
- 1670
- 01:43:28,451 --> 01:43:31,082
- the parents I grew up with were
- nothing but loving and brave.
- 1671
- 01:43:31,084 --> 01:43:32,951
- Aww!
- 1672
- 01:43:34,718 --> 01:43:37,585
- I came here
- to America,
- 1673
- 01:43:38,584 --> 01:43:40,018
- to this school,
- 1674
- 01:43:41,051 --> 01:43:42,518
- and I found myself.
- 1675
- 01:43:45,484 --> 01:43:49,482
- When I first met my mother,
- she couldn't pronounce my name.
- 1676
- 01:43:49,484 --> 01:43:52,349
- She tried over and over
- to get the emphasis
- 1677
- 01:43:52,351 --> 01:43:55,082
- on the syllables correct,
- but she just couldn't
- 1678
- 01:43:55,084 --> 01:43:58,018
- so my father suggested
- that they rename me.
- 1679
- 01:43:59,350 --> 01:44:02,651
- They picked Luce,
- which means light.
- 1680
- 01:44:03,717 --> 01:44:05,414
- Because my mom always said that
- 1681
- 01:44:05,416 --> 01:44:08,314
- there was a little beam
- of light shone inside me.
- 1682
- 01:44:08,316 --> 01:44:09,749
- If only they could
- sweep the darkness
- 1683
- 01:44:09,751 --> 01:44:11,351
- of those first
- seven years away.
- 1684
- 01:44:13,150 --> 01:44:14,982
- I thought of that
- as I was figuring out
- 1685
- 01:44:14,984 --> 01:44:16,985
- what to say to you all tonight.
- 1686
- 01:44:18,984 --> 01:44:23,250
- And I realized how lucky
- I am to be an American.
- 1687
- 01:44:26,350 --> 01:44:28,450
- Because here I got
- the chance to start over.
- 1688
- 01:44:30,216 --> 01:44:32,716
- Here we get to be who we are
- and still be accepted
- 1689
- 01:44:32,718 --> 01:44:33,985
- despite our flaws.
- 1690
- 01:44:35,283 --> 01:44:37,118
- Here we get to tell
- our own story.
- 1691
- 01:44:39,583 --> 01:44:41,048
- This is mine.
- 1692
- 01:44:43,985 --> 01:44:45,582
- When they first told me
- my new name,
- 1693
- 01:44:45,584 --> 01:44:47,648
- I was still just
- learning English,
- 1694
- 01:44:47,650 --> 01:44:49,382
- so I took it to be
- the word "loose,"
- 1695
- 01:44:49,384 --> 01:44:52,349
- L-O-O-S-E,
- 1696
- 01:44:52,351 --> 01:44:54,315
- which is defined
- as something detachable,
- 1697
- 01:44:54,317 --> 01:44:57,281
- not easily fixed in
- place, or pinned down...
