Xenzai[NEF

Excuse me.

What kind of tree is this?

Couldn't say.

Smells good.

So you're not a local?

Born 5 miles down the road.

Just don't give
a crap about trees.

Thank you.

Name's Justin Prentiss.

Student at
a private school operation

A couple miles from here.

They realized he was missing
around 6:00 this morning,

Activated the electronic
monitoring device

On his ankle, found him and
called us at 8:00.

Do they have an estimated
time of death yet?

Coroner puts time of death

Somewhere between 10:00
and 1:00 last night.

I wanted to take him
down the mountain

Soon as forensics were done,
but as per your request,

- We didn't touch him.
- Oh, we won't be here long.

-You can have him as soon as we're done.
-What's with the ankle bracelet?

Good question. Mr. Maclean?

This is the principal of
the school... Asher Maclean.

These people are from the CBI.
They want to know why

your student has an electronic
monitoring device on him.

Justin had some truancy issues
recently, hence the device.

What kind of school is this, exactly?

Bright Arch is a wilderness
program for troubled youth.

-Like a summer camp?
-No, we're an accredited high school.

Students stay at Bright Arch
for a year, on average.

We provide structure and discipline

Through close
interaction with nature

Plus a regular
high school curriculum, of course.

Uh, she doesn't like you,
and you don't like her.

Why is that?

No comment.

Chief Brody?

-Why don't you like him?
-What has that got to do with anything?

I'm just curious.

Think you might show
a little more respect.

- Respect for...
- There is a dead child here.

Yes. Yes, he's dead.

He doesn't care how I talk to you.

I've never worked with
the CBI before.

-Do all your units come with a clown?
-We get the job done.

Well, how about getting it done now?

So we can take this kid out of here.
How would that be?

Yeah. We'll do that.

Yep, you can take him.
We've got the basic facts.

- Oh, is that right? That quick, huh?
- Uh, yeah.

You want to enlighten us?

Oh,forensics probably told
you a lot of it already,

I would guess.

Uh, his knuckles and
his knees sugest

that he was overpowered in
a hand-to-hand struggle.

The blow to the head was
the coup de gr�ce.

But the ground around him
is relatively undisturbed,

Which means that the struggle

would have taken place elsewhere...
uphill, presumably.

Injured animals tend
to move downhill, of course.

Do you have any actual facts?

Well, it's an actual fact that
you dislike Mr. Maclean here

because he's a tree-hugging,
liberal wacko.

He's probably running
some kind of a cult,

and he dislikes you because
you're a small-minded,

provincial hayseed... not that
you are, necessarily.

- That's just what he thinks.
- Facts pertaining to this poor boy.

There was no moon last night,
so it was very dark.

Justin wouldn't have been able
to move very far,

injured as he was.

He had a lot of dirt in his hair,

a lot of dirt in his ears

and deep up under his nails.

So somewhere close by,

somewhere very close by,

there's a spot where someone, uh...

where someone buried him alive.

Oh, my god.

All right, all right, all right!

Settle down, folks.

Take your seats.

Let's go.

I know the last couple of days
have been rough.

Losing Justin hurts.

But his death cannot
become your crutch

for a negative attitude.

You can learn and grow
from this experience.

Bryan.

Sir, do we still get to do
the sacred fire ceremony on friday?

I think there's all
the more reason do it now.

We need healing. All right,
listen, kids,

The strangers you see
here are detectives

that will be investigating
the situation with Justin.

They are here to find out
what happened to him,

and I want all of you to answer
any questions they have

as best you can.

Yes, yes, yes, people?

Yes, yes, yes!

Is it true that he
was buried alive?

- Orrin. - Oh, yeah, that is true.

- Who did it?
- That's enough, Elliot.

Let's all get back to
our classes quickly.

We're wasting daylight!

You guys go and talk
to the counselors.

We'll press the principal,
see what he knows.

- We'll talk to the kids last.
- Okay.

- Mr. Maclean, I wanted to...
- Agent Lisbon, excuse me. Orrin.

We speak only when recognized
as part of the discussion.

Okay? Get out of here.

I'm sorry about that.
Well, welcome to Bright Arch.

Shall we, uh, convene in my office?

Yes, yes, yes.

Honey, just try to calm down
a little bit, okay?

-We'll find everything out.Calm down.
-You son of a bitch.What happened?

-What happened? What did you do?
-Mr. Prentiss...David,let's be calm now.

Step back, sir. Now.

It's okay.

This man was supposed
to look after my son.

It's his responsibility to keep
his students safe,

and he didn't!

- He didn't!
- David!

Mr. Prentiss, let's go
and talk. This way.

This way now.

How did you learn
about Bright Arch?

One of David's colleagues

has a child who had
gone way offtrack.

And they saw very positive
results from the program.

Justin was misbehaving?

He changed a lot over
the last year.

Suddenly he was always locked
in his room, dour,

uncommunicative,
violent on occasion.

Therapy didn't work.

What kind of violence
did he engage in?

He often shouted at me
and would threaten his father.

Just shouting?

No physical abuse,
no criminal behavior?

No.

Please find out who did this.

Please.

Kids love to feed off the drama
of things like this.

I hope it can be resolved quickly.

You know, you look like
Burt Reynolds in this shot.

How long has Bright Arch
been running?

Almost ten years now.

And that was all
of the students?

Yes, we like to keep
a low counselor/student ratio

so that everyone gets the focused,

individual attention
that they need.

Right. What's the pitch?

I don't follow.

The pitch...
the gimmick, the hook.

How do you sell this place
to prospective parents?

Oh, we really don't
have to sell it.

They come by word of mouth.

This is a simple,
natural healing community

where your, uh, troubled
and underachieving

sons and daughters are
encouraged to get in touch

- with their inner resources.
- Encouraged how?

By a code of honor and discipline,

by learning wilderness
skills and teamwork

through an up-close
experience with mother nature.

That's a good pitch.
It's a good program.

- Yes, Cassie?
- Um, I got your tea.

Oh. Thank you.

One of our, uh,
our great success stories.

Arrived here about nine months
ago angry and withdrawn.

- She's blossomed wonderfully.
- Tell me about Justin.

Why was he wearing an
electronic monitoring device?

I looked around. I didn't see
anyone else wearing one.

Justin had only been
with us three months.

He was still in
the rebellious phase.

Day before yesterday,
he left campus without permission

for several hours.

He refused to tell us where
he had been and with whom.

His punishment was eight hours
in the reflection room

and the electronic monitoring
device for, uh, two weeks.

Confinement and dog collars.

Yeah, that'll certainly, uh,
encourage the discovery

of inner resources, I guess.

But do the kids' parents know
that's part of the deal?

It's in the brochure.
Page three.

So you must get
a lot of problem kids.

How do you handle the psychos...

The ones that just won't knuckle
under no matter what?

We don't take 'em in
the first place.

I went thoroughly
every acceptance.

So no name jumped into your head
when you heard about the murder?

- No.
- You ever heard of z krew?

No. What's that?

I'd like to talk
to Justin's friends.

- Of course. He was in
missy Jenkins' teaching pod.

Great.

Bear in mind that I or
one of my staff members

need to be present before
you talk with any of our students.

- Is that right?
- It's the law.

Really?

Ohh. I hate the woods.

Would you rather be playing desk
jockey with Van Pelt right now?

Who sends their kids
to a place like this?

It's not cheap, either.

Eh, a little deprivation and
discipline is good for the soul.

Yeah, but this is like
a juvie prison camp.

No, this is like spring break
in Cancun compared to juvie.

Wait. You were in
juvenile hall? Seriously?

Yeah. You didn't read my file?

No. Why, did you read mine?

Of course.

What have we got?

Look at this.

Interesting, huh?

Maybe there's treasure involved.

Maybe not.

Follow the trail. Find out.

So over and under...

Over...

And under...

And through.

Simple. Again.

Over and under

And over...

And under.

Chris! Hit the reflection room.

One hour.

- Marley, give me 25.
- But he started it.

Yeah, I hear you,
and I do not care. 25.

Hey, lady!

Are you talking to me?

Yeah, I'm talking to you.
This is important. Look at me.

CBI. That's police.
There'll be no backchat.

- You do exactly as I tell you.
- What?

Hold this.

CBI...

California Bureau of Investigation.

Well, ma'am, we have
reason to believe...

Untie me this instant.

-Sorry,ma'am.Your boss
Mr.Maclean told me to do that.

No, he didn't.

Yes, he did. He's in his
office right now.

Go and ask him.

Okay, my people, we have
precious little time

Until our friend returns.

I need to know who knows
the most about what around here.

Elliot's been here,
like, two years,

So he knows everything.

Wow, that's a long time to be
stuck out in the woods, huh?

- I like it here.
- Yeah? So what's the deal with Justin?

- Who disliked him?
- Nobody, He was fine.

- Oh, you say that like he was a prize jerk.
- No, He wouldn't win any prizes.

I mean, he was basically a good kid.

But he just fought a lot with everybody.

What do you think he was doing
out in the woods?

Who knows?

- The woods are a bad place.
- Yeah? Why is that?

The axman Zachariah lives there.

Who's Zachariah?

There is no Zachariah.

It's... it's just a story.

- Yeah, I was just kidding.
- No, you weren't.

Come on, guys.

- Aren't you a little old to believe
in stuff like that? - A year ago...

They found a townie
kid dead in the woods.

He'd been chopped up with an ax.

His head was 20 feet up in a tree

With a crazy look on his face.

Okay. Now does Zachariah have
anything to do with Z Krew?

Was Justin in Z Krew?

Jane?

Jane! What the hell
are you playing at?

You can't tie people up.

- Uh, yeah. Sorry.
- I should think you would be.

My apologies, Mr. Maclean.

We'll be back tomorrow morning
if that's convenient.

See you in the morning.

I hope you got something useful
for all the trouble you caused.

Yes, I did... the story of
the mad axman Zachariah

- Who lives in these here woods.
- Ah, "z."

Yes, "z." I would have gotten
more out of 'em,

- But you came back too quickly.
- Reality check... I'm your supervising agent.

I'm not your decoy.

So, uh, what did it say?

What?

You know, my file.

You haven't read your own file?

- No. It's against the rules.
- You're kidding.

What? I like rules. Why be a cop
if you don't like rules?

- Come on. What did it say?
- You know what it says. It's your life.

I didn't know you were adopted,

- But other than that, no surprises.
- Adopted? What?

Kidding.

Ha ha, very funny.

So why were you in juvie?

You know. The usual reasons.

That has a mark on this map
with a skull and crossbones.

So what are the usual reasons
for being in juvie?

I'll tell you all
about it sometime.

Hey, check this out.

Looks like Justin's shoe.

Yep.

- I'll call forensics, mark it up.
- Yeah.

Hello? CBI!

Anybody home?

Hello?

CBI!

Try the other side?

Yeah.

You move, you die,

You mameluke sons of bitches!

- Kneel down! - Hey, we're cops.

Kneel!

I'm... a blow your damn faces o
ff you, you hear?

Eh, eh, eh! Winston! Come on!

Winston, you fool.
Put that gun down. Let go.

- Thank you. - No problem.

- Yeah, thanks. What are you doing here?
- Winston called 911. Lucky I was close.

Can you please tell me
why I'm still here?

I had nothing to do with
that kid who died. Nothing.

You're here because
you assaulted us.

-But if you want to talk about Justin Prentiss,that's fine. -How am I supposed to know who you are?

You're bangin' on my doors, "CBI! CBI!"

Like that's supposed
to mean somethin'?

Yeah, we do need better
brand awareness

But your response
was disproportionate.

You brandished a firearm.
So here we are.

My security alarm went off.

I was loaded. I reacted.

- That's all.
- You're very security-conscious. Why is that?

Why not? Are there people out
there who dislike security?

What's been your history of contact

- With the students from Bright Arch?
-Zero. I have a zero history of contact.

You know the kid who was killed,
Justin Prentiss,

Who was buried close
to your property line?

He had a sketch map that showed
the way to your house

Marked with a skull and crossbones.

-I don't know what that means.
-How about Zachariah? That name ring any bells?

No.

Looks like it's gonna
be a long night.

I just want to be left alone

And I want those kids
to leave me alone!

They go up to my property,
mess with my stuff.

They break windows.
They spray paint my doors

pull all kinds of stunts all night,

Like a routine.

Okay. So what did
you do in response?

I did everything to try and stop
them short of actual violence.

I built fences.

I planted poison oak.

I installed alarms.

They just took it all like
it was a game.

- Were they at your house last night?
- The night before...

Three or four of 'em,
throwing balloons of red paint.

Would you be able to identify
any of the kids involved

- If you saw them again?
- They always wore masks.

I want to apologize for
the misunderstanding yesterday.

- Mr. Jane will comport himself
properly today. - Yes, I will.

Who's Zachariah?

- Who?
- Zachariah.

- Never heard of him. Who is he?
-Liar.

- "liar"? - Pants on fire.

- They're ablaze.
- I want to cooperate with you people.

But this man is trying to...I don't know
what he is trying to do, but I resent it.

You should know that you sound more than
a little paranoid When you talk like that.

This is what I'm talking about.
How is this police work?

Oh, I'm kidding with you.
I get bored.

See, the thing is, you have
heard of Zachariah.

You know who Zachariah is,
and you're scared of Zachariah.

- And we're gonna find out why.
- Let's put a pin in that, shall we?

We have information putting
Justin Prentiss,

At mr. Winston's house
the night he went awol.

He went up there on a regular
basis with a group of kids,

-To torment Mr. Winston.
-So says Mr.Winston.Has he any proof?

-Why would he lie?
-Because he's a crazy old man with a...

With a grudge against this school.

Perhaps he's crazy enough
to do something.

He's complained plenty of times.
There's never any reality to it.

Chief brody disagrees.

She thinks that some of
your students are vandals,

And you're protecting them.

Chief brody is a small town cop.
She gets ideas in her head.

Look, the truth is that nobody
around here likes us very much.

They think the kids are all
drug addicts and delinquents.

They're scared. You don't mind if
we sit down with some of your students

To ask them about
mr. Winston's allegations?

Not at all...

As long as you follow proper
legal protocol.

Of course.

Hey, hey, hey!

Agent lisbon of the cbi,

Would like to talk
to you for a moment.

Let's all listen with respectful
attention, all right?

Jane, they're all yours.

Hello, kids. Hey.

Uh, that's the best you got?

Hello, kids.

Hello!

Ah, thank you. Thank you.

Ahh. Who wants to see some magic?

Hands? Good.

Watch me closely.

Concentrate.

Make sure I don't
do anything sneaky.

All right, this
is ridiculous. Hush.

Watching my hands...

I'm gonna need a volunteer.

You.

Stand up. Come here.

Name?

Orrin.

Well, orrin, today's
your lucky day.

I'm going to look into your mind,

And I'm gonna read
your thoughts.

You're thinking, "gosh, I hope
he can't read my thoughts,

"because then he'd know that
I was up in the woods

"with justin prentiss
the night before he died

Throwing paint bombs at
the old crazy man's door."

Orrin, that was kind of dumb.

You should have
thought of something

A little more innocent.

We're gonna have to have
a little talk.

Follow me.

Sorry about that.

Tell me more about Zachariah.

Orrin, you may ask for
a lawyer at any time.

Then my parents will know, right?

Yes.

That's okay.

Zachariah and the Z krew.

Why should I tell you?
You know what I'm thinking.

Yeah. But it would be more polite

If you said it aloud
for their benefit.

You can't really
read minds, can you?

Shrewd insight.
No, of course I can't.

Then how'd you do that, then--
call me out like that?

You scratched your
poison oak rash,

And my colleagues tell me that
only grows in one place

- around here-- up at Mr. Winston's.
- Fudge.

Yeah. So tell me more
about zachariah.

I can't.

Really?

Orrin...

We can let this go, or we
can take it to the next level.

And that's gonna involve your
parents and lawyers.

Zachariah was a lumberjack...

Mm-hmm. Hundreds of years ago.

A log fell on him in the river
and pinned him by the arm.

His logging crew tried, but
they couldn't get him out.

The river was rising,
and a snowstorm was coming.

They figured that he
was done for anyway.

So they left him there--
left him for dead.

Zachariah was so angry at
them for leaving him

that he chopped off his
own arm to free himself,

then went back to the lumber camp

and hacked every one of
his workmates to death,

then chopped them up and put
their heads in trees.

Cool.

- The lumber camp where they died...
- Mm-hmm.

This is it.

Right here.

This school is the
exact same spot.

- And z krew?
- It's like a secret club.

We go up in
the woods and do stuff.

Zachariah is like our leader.

- Who's like the deputy leader?
- I don't know.

- No?
- Come on.

We wear masks.
The only person you know,

is the person who asked you
to join the gang.

Who was that?

Bryan.

There he is.

- I got this.
- No, please. I got this.

After you.

Nice.

- Who initiated you to z krew, Bryan?
- The guy that jumped me in left last year.

- Who runs Z krew?
- I don't know.

I find it hard to believe
you didn't recognize

- anybody's voice.
- There's no talking on Z krew ops.

We only communicate by note
and sign language.

That's the whole fun of it.
Look, z krew's about

running around in the woods,
playing warriors.

Nobody gets killed.

Z krew's got nothing to
do with Justin's murder.

Do you?

No!

You want my guess?

Guesswork is inappropriate for
this sort of situation, Bryan.

Guesswork's okay.

Cassie.

She's in it somehow.

How so?

Justin was...

He was big in love with her.

She wouldn't deal,
and he didn't like it.

I saw them arguing,

Both real mad, a couple days ago.

And now she's totally freaked
out about his death.

- So, you know...
- Many of us are upset, Bryan.

- Does Cassie have a boyfriend?
- No.

So what do you think happened?
Cassie killed him?

That's ridiculous.

Let him answer.

Hey... Ask her.

All I'm saying...
It wasn't me.

Do you know where we can
find Cassie right now?

I'm sure that she has nothing
to do with this.

But I will have someone
fetch her for you.

- Gave you a little trouble, huh?
- Nah.

Hey, guys.

- What happened to you?
- Old age.

Shut up, you.

- What are you doing here?
- Gee, thanks for the welcome.

- No, I mean-- you know what I mean.
- Lisbon wanted an extra hand

If we're gonna have to interview

-all the students and staff.
-Seriously?This is the biggest they had?

- Hey, Van Pelt. - Hey, boss.

We're short a girl by
the name Cassie Miniver.

Bryan says that Justin was
in love the Cassie,

Recently saw them in
a fierce argument.

Oh, Cassie. Yeah, she brought
Maclean a cup of tea.

-Yeah.We wanted to question her,but she's gone.
-Hmm. Interesting.

- Anybody else missing? - No, there isn't.

-So she's most likely running,not abducted.
-Precisely.

So what do you think, boss? Chief brody's
setting up a full-scale search,

So we should probably start
looking in the woods

-Around the school.
-Oh,that sounds horribly tedious.

Shout if you need me.

Go ahead, relax.
Enjoy yourself.

God forbid you should
do anything tedious.

Cassie! Cassie!

Cassie! Cassie!

Cassie!

Cassie!

Can I ask you something?

Would you-- have you ever read

Your coworker's personnel files?

Uh... No. Why?

No, uh, good. Neither did I.

Good.

Hey.

Hi.

Where are you headed?

Into town.

Excellent. That's exactly
where I need to go.

All right.

Thanks. Grateful.

Would you shut the gate
for me, please?

- Uh, nope.
- Why?

Well, 'cause as soon as
I get out of the car,

then you'll drive away without me.

Why on earth would I do that?

The three Furies...

Fear, shame, guilt.

What?

The heart wants what
the heart wants,

and it won't be denied.
It makes us do bad things.

What are you talking about?

Cassie, I have a gift for you.

Cassie? Needn't be shy.

Hi.

Hi.

Here.

Try it on.

Beautiful.

Ta-da.

What is this?

Mr. Maclean was helping
Cassie run away.

- Why? - He didn't want us
to speak to her because...

- I have nothing to say.
- Nonsense. You have plenty to say.

He wanted her to go before
we get a chance to talk to her

and find out that she
and he were having

what you would call,
uh... sexual relations.

Is that true?

I'm saying nothing.
I admit nothing.

I want to talk to
my lawyer. Cassie!

- Don't say anything.
- You miserable little pervert!

- That's enough, chief.
- She assaulted me!

I don't think so. We're
going back to Sacramento.

Now you can either come
of your own accord

or we can arrest you. Which is it?

Fine.

Good choice.

No. We didn't.

We... we weren't. No.

Cassie...

Look at me. It's very easy
to see when you're lying.

You get a little pulse going
in your neck just... there.

Yeah.

Always best to tell
Agent Lisbon the truth.

Did Mr. Maclean have
sexual relations with you?

It's okay.

Yes, he did.

One time or more than that?

More.

Maybe twice a week
for a few months.

You know that by having
sexual relations with you,

Mr. Maclean was committing
a crime, right?

I guess.

Was it consensual?

I guess.

You guess.

Uh, did you want Mr. Maclean
to have sex with you?

No, ma'am.

So he coerced you.

No, ma'am.

I don't... understand.

I was scared.

Scared of who? Mr. Maclean?

No, he's just... a sad creep.

Who, then?

You can talk freely, Cassie.
You're safe here.

Nowhere is safe.

Zachariah made you do it?

Zombie Lumber Jack made
you sleep with mr. Maclean.

He told me I had to.

Cassie, you know that
Zachariah doesn't exist.

You know that kid that they
found chopped up in the woods?

He thought the same thing.

Okay, how... how does
Zachariah tell you his wishes?

Through somebody from Zkrew, maybe?

I've said too much already.

I don't... I don't
want to say anymore.

Please don't make me.

I'll be right back.

Cassie made a statement.

Charge Mr. Maclean
with statutory rape.

Will do, boss.

Sex with a minor.
Tell you what...

-things look very bad for you right now.
-I was kind and caring to a troubled girl.

-That... that's all.
-...Yeah, that's what they all say...

until the lab tests come back.

See, the way we have to figure this

is that Justin Prentiss
was in love with Cassie

- and found out that you were abusing her.
- Oh, please.

Abusing her, and he threatened
to tell the authorities.

- So you clubbed him to death,
you thought, and buried him. - No. No!

No? Well, that's what we're thinking.

How are we wrong?

Did he attack you?

Was it self-defense, maybe?

I want my lawyer. I'm saying
nothing more to you people.

We got nothing to put him
with Justin that night.

We need a confession.

You won't get one.

Why won't we get one?

Prize for the first one
to tell me the answer.

Just tell us your damn theory.

I will do that on our way
back to Bright Arch.

We need to get there in time
for the sacred fire ritual.

Rigsby, let's you and I
have a quick cup of tea,

- then we'll go, huh?
- Explain first. Then we'll go.

Sacred fire?

Hello, kids.

Good to see you all again.

Pretty dramatic few days, huh?

You probably heard
a lot of crazy stuff

about what's been going on.

Well... Don't worry about it.

Life goes on.

Your teachers thought
I'd be good to carry on

With the sacred fire
ceremony as usual.

Everyone okay with that?

Excellent.

I thought we'd start
with a ghost story.

You all know about
Zachariah, yeah?

We do.

-But we don't talk about him.
-It's bad luck.

Meh.

Zachariah doesn't scare me.

So everyone knows about
that terrible evening

When Zachariah hacked his former
friends to pieces, yeah?

What a lot of people don't know

is what happened after
that horrible incident.

As punishment,

The townspeople gathered together

And built a huge bonfire

Right here...

On this very spot.

And they burned Zachariah alive.

And as the flames melted
the flesh from his body,

Zachariah didn't scream.

He just smiled at those watching.

And he made a solemn vow

That whenever someone does
evil in these woods,

If you call Zachariah's
name three times

And mark the ground with a "z,"

Then he will rise from the grave
and he will take them.

Yeah, right.

And if the sinner doesn't
confess his sins,

If he doesn't repent, then
Zachariah will drag them down

Into his ghastly lair,

To suffer with him
in black darkness

For all eternity.

That's it?

Yes, that's it.

That was weak, dude.

Well, it's only weak if
the curse isn't true.

And we all know that evil
has been done in these woods.

But is there anyone here willing
to call Zachariah's name?

Anyone?

Zachariah!

Zachariah!

Zachariah!

Told you. Weak.

You forgot the most
important part.

You have to mark
the ground with a "z."

Guess he's on vacation.

- Elliott, was it you?
- Aah! Aah!

Did you kill Justin?

-Elliott, this is your last chance.
-Aah!

- Did you kill Justin?
- Yes! Yes, it was me!

Saved. That was close.

- Oh, hey, Rigsby. - Hey.

I... I... I knew it was a joke.

I... I was just kidding.

No, you're a liar and
a murderer, Elliot.

Everyone can see that.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
a little help here.

Give it up, kid.
Come on. It's over.

Justin was an insect.

He shouldn't have interfered.

Yes. You had a sweet
little system going.

You kept the kids in line with
messages from Zachariah,

And you kept Maclean
in line with blackmail.

Protect Elliot and let
the Z crew rule,

Or be exposed as a habitual rapist.

- You're a very clever young man.
- Yes, I am.

That's why my parents
abandoned me in this dump.

I'm too clever for them.

And for you.

You haven't really caught me.

I'm a minor. Nothing bad
will happen to me.

Then why don't you tell us
why you killed Justin?

For the record.

You know why.

Justin was always soft on Cassie.

But when he found out

What she was doing with
MaClean on my order...

He got angry, threatened
to ruin everything.

And I tried to shut him up with
a message from Zachariah.

He wouldn't back off.

He laughed at me.

He shouldn't have done that.

I don't like being laughed at.

Well, good-bye, Elliot.

H...hey.

How did you know it was me?

When Cassie brought Maclean tea
in a cup with z's on it,

That was a warning from you
to keep his mouth shut.

You were the first to bring
forth the Zachariah story,

And you've been at this school
longer than anyone else,

With no desire to leave.

The sacred fire ceremony
confirmed my hunch.

Everybody else was scared that
I was invoking Zachariah,

But you... you were
contemptuous and cynical.

A true artist watching
a cheap imitator...

Until fear made you a believer.

It can do that to you.

Bye.

Sit down.

I appreciate everything
that you've done.

It's our job.

Thank yo yeah.

Oh, there he is.

Uh, here I am.

I was just telling
Mr. and Mrs. Prentiss

It was you that found
their son's killer.

Yes, uh, I'm very sorry
for your loss.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

We're very grateful.

It gives us some
kind of closure at least.

Your son died bravely.

He saved a young girl in trouble.

You should be very proud.

Minor fixing. Better, but not perfect.
