- We need to talk about this resistance movement

Navi's stirring up.

- It's not just Navi.

A lot of students share her concerns.

- About Scott?

- About the double standard they see playing out

around this so-called investigation

into Grace's death.

- Over which we have no influence.

- And because we don't have the ability

to answer their questions, they're upset.

- You know I'm backed into a corner, right?

We all are.

A lawsuit against the school means we lose resources.

- Are we ever gonna have any answers?

Or are we just gonna walk around

and pretend like nothing is happening?

- Katina, I woke up

in a damn good mood this morning.

You know why?

Because it's game day.

We get our spirit back on game day.

And we really need that spirit right now.

- And Navi really needs to feel heard, Larry.

- She can be heard next week,

when we don't have an entire other school

marching through our front doors.

- Yes, because what would the neighbors say?

- Look, I got no problem with Navi organizing.

But for God's sake, can we just get one day

to remember who we used to be?

Don't you want that, too?

- But we're not the same school anymore.

We're not the same people.

And no game is going to change that.

- We have an opportunity today

to make a bold statement in a public venue

and demand justice for Grace.

- At a volleyball game.

So what?

- "The students of Shawnee High School

"demand justice.

"Scott Williams is benefitting

"from the systemic racial biases

"that allow violent white boys to be valued

"for their future potential,

"while young black men are ostracized and condemned

for the slightest misstep."

- But it was more than a misstep, Navi.

I mean, Devon lied to my family.

- About a video he knew would hurt you.

He didn't physically attack Grace.

Scott did.

- I think what Faith is trying to say

is that you're trying to turn this into a race issue

instead of a Grace issue.

- Gee, thanks, mansplainer.

I thought you were here to be an ally.

- I am.

I'm just--I'm trying to understand your point.

- Grace was sexually attacked

and treated like a piece of dirt,

and nothing is being done about it,

because Scott is a privileged white boy.

- That doesn't mean our administration is racist.

We have a black principal.

- You know how ignorant you sound, right?

- I'm just saying black principal,

black guidance counselor, black student body president.

- Who could end up in jail.

- Yes, the world is racist.

The school isn't.

- [scoffs]

Ollie, we're the Chiefs.

- Why?

- We're the Shawnee High Chiefs.

Our mascot wears feathers,

and people shoot imaginary arrows

whenever our teams score points.

So, yes, this school is racist.

- What does the mascot have to do with Scott?

[gentle music]

- Faith.

I barely recognize you.

- What, you think I've gone crazy?

- I think you're trying to hold on to Grace

by wearing her things.

- If I don't, she'll be forgotten.

- We're never gonna forget Grace.

- Everyone already has.

It's like--

it's like her whole life has been reduced

to being this--this victim.

Everyone just wants to march down the streets

and throw Scott in jail.

- Aren't you mad at him, too?

- I don't think he really did that to her.

- Do you know something that I don't know?

- [sniffs]

I looked--

I looked Scott in the eyes,

and he told me he loved her, and I believe him.

- Faith.

You are not supposed to be speaking to Scott.

There are possible charges and lawsuits and--

- I don't care...

what the parents want

or--or what they're threatening to do to each other

or to the school.

I don't care.

All I want

is to know why

my sister stepped in front of that car

and who left her and why.

- Faith, you need to leave all of this

up to the adults that are handling it.

This is a vulnerable time for you.

- Katina, it's either you're on my side

or you're against me.

What is it?

- I'm always on your side.

Always.

[indistinct chatter]

- I got it!

- Got it. - Go, go, go, go!

- Are you sure you want to be here?

- I'm fine.

You don't have to babysit me.

- I got it!

- Over there! Over there!

- Come on, give it to me.

- Yeah!

- Heads.

- Watch it!

- Mine, mine!

- Faith.

Faith.

Are you okay?

- It's just a little hard,

being here...

- Come on!

- And knowing she won't run through those doors.

I mean, she's not coming back.

- We can get out of here.

Leave with me.

We can go to the nurse's station.

- Okay, yeah.

- Get away from her.

- I'm not doing anything.

- I mean it.

Get away from her now,

before I scream "rapist" at the top of my lungs.

- Navi, please stop.

- You've got it all wrong, Navi.

I didn't write that stuff on Grace.

- I don't want to hear it.

- I found her that way. I tried to clean it up.

- Come on, Faith, let's go. - No. Just listen.

- He's got you brainwashed.

- Navi, stop!

Just stop.

You're not even listening.

Like, you're on your mission,

and you don't even care what I think.

This isn't about you.

It's about Grace.

Now, please just listen to him for one minute.

- Start talking.

- Look, the volleyball team

brought Grace upstairs that night.

Audrey was pouring drinks down her throat.

She was mad about losing the game.

She wanted to punish Grace.

When I found Grace, she was already covered in those words.

I tried to clean them off of her.

- You know how mean those girls can be.

- Yeah, I do.

- We already know someone had their phone in that room

when I left.

It had to have been Laurin that made that video.

She hates me now.

She wants to punish me.

- Wait, do you think that video's still on Laurin's phone?

- If it's there, it doesn't just clear me.

It proves Grace didn't kill herself over Devon.

It proves she was bullied to death.

- We got to get into that locker room.

- Shawnee High, are you ready

to go to the state championships?

Here come the Chiefs!

[cheers and applause]

- Whoo! Yeah!

- I'd like to take a moment

to acknowledge that our school and this team

suffered a tremendous blow recently,

losing Grace.

This is our first game without her,

and I know that we all miss her.

But I'm so proud of how these young ladies

have united to face this tragedy.

And even in our sadness,

I'd like to celebrate their achievements.

Several members of our varsity team

have secured scholarships

to play for some of the top schools in the country,

and I'd like to announce those now.

Vanessa Marshall is going to the University of Florida.

[cheers and applause]

Darya Dennen

is headed to Hawaii.

[cheers and applause]

Leah Roblan, where are you?

Headed to the University of Washington on a full ride.

[cheers and applause]

And we got one more to announce.

- Oh, my God, I can't breathe.

- She's our captain...

and our leader.

Audrey March, you're going to Penn State on a full ride.

[cheers and applause]

- Thank you. [laughs]

Thank you. Thank you.

I'm so happy, and I'm so proud of these guys.

I could not have done it without them.

[cheers and applause]

- Congratulations to all of them.

Let's go, Chiefs!

[cheers and applause]

[whistle blowing]

- Hurry up.

[tense music]

- There's nothing in here. It's just clothes.

All the phones are missing. - They must have locked them up.

Text Scott. Ask him if he knows Laurin's combination.

- Why would he know that?

- Those two were totally codependent.

- No, it's got to be in here.

[phone buzzes]

- 6142.

- See?

[buttons beeping]

There's nothing in here, just a wallet and rings.

Now what?

- We got to get out of here.
