AAH!

STOP IT!

Coach: OK, LADIES...

WE'RE GOING TO DO
SOME BARBELL WORK TODAY.

IT WILL BE SUMMER SOON.

EVERYBODY WILL HAVE TO CLIMB
INTO A BATHING SUIT.

CASEY,
WILL YOU HELP ME OUT HERE?

THEY'RE FLIES--
FRONTAL FLIES.

UP...DOWN...

UP...DOWN.

[CAMERA CLICKS]

[GRUNTS]

THIS IS YOUR TRICEP,
YOUR BICEP...

BRING IT DOWN.
CONCENTRATE THE MUSCLE.

COME ON, KAMERON,
WORK WITH ME.

ALL RIGHT.
HEY.

ON TIME.

YEAH, NO PROBLEM.

COACH.
ALL RIGHT.

[BANG]

LET ME ASK YOU GUYS
A QUESTION.

ARE YOU TRYING...

TO FAIL OUT OF MY CLASS?

Coach: 'CAUSE MAYBE YOU CAN
HELP ME OUT WITH SOMETHING.

[CAMERA CLICKS]

Coach: EVERY YEAR,
I GET A COUPLE OF YOU GUYS,

AND THE FUNNY THING IS...

[CLICK]

Coach:
YOU NEVER SURPRISE ME.

MAYBE TO YOU, MADDOX,
IT'S NEW,

AND IT'S SHOCKING...

BUT I'M SORRY
TO SAY IT, GUYS--

I SEEN IT ALL BEFORE.

Coach: MAYBE YOU GUYS FORGOT
THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE

WHO ACTUALLY
WANT TO BE HERE,

AND ALL GUYS LIKE YOU DO
IS WASTE THEIR TIME!

Coach:
SO NOW IT'S YOUR TIME.

I WANT YOU
ON THOSE MACHINES

Coach:
ANOTHER HOUR, WORKING.

ON THOSE MACHINES.

Coach: WORKING!

WHEN DO I GET
MY CAMERA BACK?

Coach: ACTUALLY...

NEVER.

IS NEVER
GOOD FOR YOU?

Lawson: ALL RIGHT, FOLKS,
SELF-PORTRAIT.

TAKE THAT LONG HARD LOOK
IN THE MIRROR.

Lawson:
WHO'S LOOKING BACK AT US?

SORRY. GOT HELD
BACK IN GYM.

HE HELD YOU BACK AGAIN?

YEAH, BUT THIS IS
THE LAST TIME.

YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE
AT THEIR MOST CREATIVE

IN THE MORNING, CHRIS.

I SHOULD REALLY BE IN HERE.

LET'S GET WORKING.

OK, THIS SHOULD
JUST TAKE A SECOND.

DO YOU WANT ME TO JUST
STAY BEHIND THE LI--

[CAMERA TAKES PICTURE]

JUST WAIT RIGHT THERE.

EXCUSE ME, MR. EDWARDS.
THE SCHOOL BOARD CALLED.

THEY WANT TO COME
ON THE 12th.

I HAVE TO GET BACK
TO THEM THIS AFTERNOON.

Edwards: WHY DON'T YOU CHECK
IF THEY CAN MEET ON THE 11th?

THE SCHOOL ALWAYS LOOKS
BETTER AFTER THE WEEKEND.

AND LET'S TRY TO KEEP
THE PUBLIC ROOM SHARP.

SEE IF THEY CAN START
FIXING IT UP NOW.

OK, YOU JUST MAKE SURE
YOU WEAR THIS AT ALL TIMES,

AND THERE SHOULDN'T BE
ANY PROBLEMS.

HELLO.

OH, HELLO,
MR. EDWARDS.

Wilson: WE SPOKE
ON THE PHONE.

I'M HERE ABOUT
THE NEW POSITION.

WELL, HELLO.
GOOD TO MEET YOU, MICHAEL.

MIKE'S FINE.

RIGHT. WELL,
WELCOME ABOARD, MIKE.

HAPPY TO HAVE YOU
WITH US.

THANKS.

THIS NEW PROGRAM'S
WORKED VERY WELL SO FAR.

WE'RE EXCITED
TO BRING YOUNG FACES

INTO THE ADMINISTRATION.

Edwards: LET ME GIVE YOU
A LITTLE ADVICE.

YOU'RE
AN ADMINISTRATOR NOW.

THEY'RE STUDENT BODY.
REMEMBER THAT DISTINCTION.

WELL, YOU'VE GOT YOUR PASS.
FEEL FREE TO WALK AROUND.

Edwards: GET YOURSELF
ACQUAINTED--WITH THE BUILDING.

THANKS. I WILL.

GOOD LUCK.

BYE, MIKE.

[LOUD CHATTER]

[LOCKER SLAMMING]

[BELL RINGS]

HEY!

[LAUGHS]

Mike:
WATCH YOUR STEP, GUYS.

Boy: YEAH, NICE
SWEATER, TOUGH GUY.

[LAUGHING]

Walsh: ALL RIGHT,
YOUR ASSIGNMENT IS TO CHOOSE

A CURRENT NEWSPAPER ARTICLE
OR PERIODICAL,

Walsh: PREFERABLY,
SOMETHING EDITORIAL,

WITH A SUBJECTIVE
VIEWPOINT

AND RESPOND IN 5 PAGES
AS TO WHY YOU AGREE

OR DISAGREE
WITH THE AUTHOR'S OPINION.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED
IS IN THE HANDOUT.

LET ME REMIND YOU, THOUGH,

IT SHOULD BE DOUBLE-SPACED,
400 WORDS,

LEGITIMATE SOURCE.

Walsh: NO INTERNET JUNK,
COMICS, OR CROSSWORDS.

[STUDENTS
ASKING QUESTIONS]

IT'S IN THE HANDOUT.

Walsh: DID YOU GET THAT
BACK THERE, MADDOX?

MR. MADDOX!

LEGITIMATE SOURCE,
5-PAGE PAPER,

Maddox: NO COMICS
OR CROSSWORDS.

WELL, GOOD. GOOD.

THEN I'LL EXPECT YOUR PAPER
TO BE THE FIRST ON MY DESK

AS COMPENSATION
FOR LAST WEEK.

[BELL RINGS]

ALL RIGHT, BEFORE YOU LEAVE,

MAKE SURE YOU PICK UP
THIS YEAR'S HANDBOOK.

I'D RECOMMEND
LOOKING OVER THE RULES,

Walsh: AND ACTUALLY
FOLLOWING THEM THIS TIME.

YOU'LL NOTICE THAT SOME
AMENDMENTS BECAME NECESSARY

IN LIGHT
OF LAST YEAR'S CLASS.

HAVE A NICE DAY.

HERE YOU GO, AMANDA.

WHY ARE WE BEING PUNISHED
FOR WHAT THEY DID?

WE'RE NOT GONNA
TORCH ANYONE'S CAR.

WE'RE NOT TAKING
ANY CHANCES.

MR. MADDOX, FOR YOU, THIS
MIGHT BE ESPECIALLY USEFUL.

Maddox: CAN I ASK YOU
A QUESTION?

UM, I'M A PHOTOGRAPHER,
YOU KNOW.

I THINK I'M
PRETTY GOOD AT IT.

IS THERE ANY WAY THAT
I COULD READ THE ARTICLE

AND MAKE MY RESPONSE
A PHOTOGRAPHIC INTERPRETATION?

CAN I SEE YOUR HANDOUT?

CAN YOU SHOW ME ON HERE
WHERE IT SAYS ANYTHING

ABOUT A PHOTOGRAPHIC
INTERPRETATION?

I THINK WHAT HE'S
TRYING TO SAY, SIR,

IS THAT HE WANTS
TO DO THE ASSIGNMENT

USING MIXED MEDIA.

OH. [CHUCKLES]

OH. NO.

Walsh: JUST FIND AN ARTICLE
THAT INTERESTS YOU

AND DO THE ASSIGNMENT
AS GIVEN.

[BELL RINGS]

[TECHNO MUSIC PLAYING]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

[MUSIC STOPS]

I'VE BEEN TRYING
TO CALL YOU ALL NIGHT.

MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME.

DOES THE NAME JOHN STANTON
SOUND FAMILIAR TO YOU?

HE WAS KICKED OUT OF SCHOOL
A COUPLE YEARS AGO.

COME ON, HE WAS THE ONLY KID
EDWARDS EVER EXPELLED.

YEAH. HE WAS A SENIOR
WHEN WE WERE FRESHMEN.

I REMEMBER WHEN
THEY KICKED HIM OUT.

THERE'S AN ARTICLE
ABOUT HIM IN THE PAPER.

HE ESCAPED FROM A MENTAL
INSTITUTION DOWNSTATE.

WHY WAS HE THERE?

THAT'S WHAT
THE ARTICLE WAS ABOUT.

THERE WERE NO FORMAL
REASONS WHY.

LAST TIME I CHECKED,

YOU CAN'T INSTITUTIONALIZE
SOMEONE FOR NO REASON.

EDWARDS WON'T SAY
WHAT THE REASON IS,

AND NEITHER WILL
THE INSTITUTION.

THEY MENTIONED
EDWARDS?OH, YEAH.

HALF THIS ARTICLE
IS ABOUT HIM.

HE WON'T DISCLOSE
HIS FILES.

HE WON'T MAKE
ANY STATEMENTS.

PAPERS ARE
ALL OVER HIM FOR IT.

READ THIS.

STANTON, HE'S BEEN GOING
TO OTHER INSTITUTIONS

AND FREEING PEOPLE.

HE'S BROKEN
INTO 3 ALREADY.

HE'S GATHERING
A GROUP OF PATIENTS,

AND NO ONE CAN
TRACK THEM DOWN.

YOU ON THE YEARBOOK STAFF?

HMM?

NO?

I DIDN'T THINK SO.

Reporter: OUR FIRST STORY
TAKES US TO OAKBRIDGE,

WHERE A BREAKOUT

AT THE WAINWRIGHT
JUVENILE PSYCHIATRIC FACILITY

HAS POLICE AND TOWN OFFICIALS
SEARCHING FOR 16 YOUNG MEN,

Reporter: ALL REPORTED MISSING
SINCE THIS MORNING.

AS WITH THE INCIDENT
AT AVCO 2 WEEKS AGO,

A NOTE WAS LEFT BEHIND SIGNED,
"THE STANTONIST PARTY."

Reporter: THIS IS
THE FOURTH BREAKOUT

ATTRIBUTED TO
20-YEAR-OLD JOHN STANTON,

WHO WAS SENT FROM
NEW PORT SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL

TO THE AVCO CLINIC
OVER 2 YEARS AGO.

YOU FORGOT THIS.

I'M GOING BACK INSIDE.

MY PARENTS WANT ME TO
WORK ON MY APPLICATIONS.

HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU THINK
WERE WATCHING THAT?

PROBABLY ENOUGH TO START
A MILLION RUMORS.

ALL THE RUMORS
ARE WRONG.

NO ONE'S TAKEN THE TIME
TO GET THINGS STRAIGHT.

I DON'T THINK PEOPLE ARE AS
INTO IT AS YOU ARE, MADDOX.

HOW CAN I NOT BE?

I MEAN,
LOOK AROUND HERE, CHRIS.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME
SOMEONE FROM AROUND HERE

DID ANYTHING THAT MADE
ANY KIND OF DIFFERENCE?

STANTON--WHAT MAKES HIM
SO DIFFERENT, MADDOX?

WHY IS HE
SO EXCEPTIONAL?

HE'S HELPING PEOPLE.

HE'S LIBERATING THEM
FROM PRISON.

THEY'RE NOT PRISONS,
MADDOX.

THEY'RE INSTITUTIONS.

PEOPLE ARE IN THERE FOR
REASONS--THEY'RE INSANE.

WHAT ARE YOU, AN EXPERT?

NO, BUT I'M NOT PRETENDING
TO BE ONE EITHER.

I KNOW NOTHING
ABOUT STANTON, OK?

THIS IS ALL HAPPENING
HUNDREDS OF MILES FROM HERE.

YEAH. SEE YOU.

[CAMERA CLICKS]

[CLICK]

Chris: YOU ACTUALLY
WENT THERE?

Maddox: I WANTED
TO SEE IT FOR MYSELF.

WHAT IF YOU GOT CAUGHT?
THEY COULD HAVE ARRESTED YOU.

I'D PLEAD INSANITY.

IT'S NOT FUNNY.
YOU CAN'T GO WALKING AROUND

AN INSTITUTION IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

YOU WALK AROUND ONE
EVERY MORNING.

OK, SO NOW YOU'RE SAYING
YOU THINK SCHOOL'S AN ASYLUM?

Maddox: DON'T YOU?

IF I LISTEN TO YOU TWIST THINGS
AROUND LONG ENOUGH, YEAH.

Maddox:
WELL, THINK ABOUT IT.

ADMINISTRATIONS MAKE
OUR DECISIONS FOR US.

Maddox: THEY DON'T WANT US
TO COMPLAIN OR THINK,

SO THEY KEEP US BUSY

WITH HOMEWORK AND
SCHEDULES AND EXERCISE.

THERE'S NO BARS
ON THE WINDOWS.

WE DON'T WEAR
STRAIGHTJACKETS, EITHER,

BUT WE STILL HAVE
RULE BOOKS.

WELL, IT'S NOT LIKE THERE'S
ORDERLIES WAITING AROUND

TO GRAB US IF WE DON'T
FOLLOW THE RULES.

REALLY?

Maddox: I MEAN,
HAVEN'T YOU EVER WONDERED

WHY THERE ISN'T
A MINUTE IN THE DAY

WHEN YOU AREN'T BEING
WATCHED OR EVALUATED?

Maddox: WHETHER IT'S
A TEACHER WHO STUDIES YOU

AND CATEGORIZES
YOUR BEHAVIOR,

WHO PRESSURES YOU AND
MAKES YOU FEEL INFERIOR

LIKE YOUR I.Q.
IS TOO LOW,

YOUR CLASS RANK
ISN'T HIGH ENOUGH?

YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE
SO SICK OF IT,

WHY DON'T YOU JUST DROP OUT?
NOBODY'S STOPPING YOU.

Maddox: WILL YOU THINK
ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING?

IT IS SET UP SO THAT
WE ARE DEPENDENT ON IT.

Maddox: I MEAN, WHAT IF
I CAN'T GET A JOB

BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE
A DIPLOMA

BECAUSE I DIDN'T WEAR
MY GYM UNIFORM EVERY DAY?

BECAUSE OF
ONE STUPID INFRACTION,

THE ENTIRE COURSE OF
MY LIFE CAN BE ALTERED.

Clip: WHOA! RELAX.
IT'S NOT EVEN ON.

I WAS JUST OUTSIDE
RECORDING.

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED
TO YOU LAST NIGHT?

MADDOX DROVE TO AVCO TO SEE
STANTON'S OLD BUILDING.

OH. LET ME GET THIS
STRAIGHT...

YOU CAN DRIVE
HUNDREDS OF MILES

Clip: TO RUN AROUND
IN THE BUSHES

PHOTOGRAPHING
PSYCHOS,

BUT YOU CAN'T
COME SEE ME PLAY?

DID YOU GET ANY GOOD
SHOTS OF HIS BEDPAN?

[LAUGHING]

YEAH. HE JUST KEPT
TALKING ABOUT IT.

IT'S WEIRD.

I MEAN, ALL THESE ARTICLES
ARE, LIKE, TABLOIDS.

MADDOX, HE'S REALLY
ARTICULATE ABOUT HIM.

YOU KNOW, HE'S NOT JUST
TELLING US ABOUT THIS.

HE'S TELLING EVERYONE.

AMY DEMPSEY TOLD ME
HE JUST KEPT GOING ON AND ON

ABOUT HOW STANTON'S
GOING BACK TO AVCO

TO FREE MORE PEOPLE.

LIKE HE MISSED SOME
THE FIRST TIME.

SHE SAID HE THOUGHT
HE SAW HIM THERE

WHEN HE WENT.

WHO, STANTON?

YEAH.

WHO IS SHE?

THE GIRL--WHAT'S HER NAME,
AMY DEMPSEY?

CHRIS, SHE'S
IN OUR GYM CLASS.

HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW PEOPLE
IN YOUR OWN GRADE?

MAYBE IF I KNEW
WHAT SHE LOOKED LIKE.

SHE LOOKS LIKE
EVERYBODY ELSE

WHOSE NAME
YOU DON'T KNOW.

IS SHE NICE?

YEAH, CHRIS.
SHE'S NICE.

YOU KNOW, WE PROBABLY
COULD HAVE GOTTEN HERE

A LOT FASTER
IF WE DROVE.

I LIKE WALKING DOWN
THIS STREET.

OH, DO YOU, HOMO?
YEAH, WELL, I'M FREEZING.

WHAT'S UP WITH THE CAR?

Clip: YOU'D THINK
THEY'D HAVE A BUTLER

FOR THAT KIND OF THING.

HE TOOK
THE WEEK OFF.

Clip: HAS MADDOX EVER
INVITED YOU TO HIS HOUSE?

HE SEEMS TO HAVE NO PROBLEM
JUST WALKING INTO MINE.

Maddox:
COME IN.

Clip: INSIDE?
THERE'S A RARE HONOR.

Clip: WHERE ARE
THE STRIPPERS, MADDOX?

Maddox: LOOK AT THIS.

COME HERE, CHRIS.
LOOK AT THIS.

RIGHT THERE,
IN THE BUSHES.

Maddox: IT'S STANTON.

I DON'T SEE
ANYTHING, MADDOX.

LOOK CLOSELY.

I'M LOOKING.

WHERE?
HOW DO YOU KNOW?

WHO ELSE WOULD IT BE?

I WENT INTO A PRIVATE
INSTITUTION AT NIGHT.

NO ONE ELSE WAS THERE,

AND SOMEONE
WAS WATCHING ME.

I--I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING.
THE PICTURE LOOKS LIKE SHIT.

Maddox: COME HERE.

I'LL SHOW YOU ON THIS ONE.
THIS IS AN ENLARGEMENT.

I BLEW THIS UP 15 TIMES.

YOU'LL DEFINITELY
SEE IT ON THIS ONE.

GO AHEAD, SIT DOWN.

I'M SITTING, BUT...

OK, NOW, THERE HE IS.

Clip: WHERE?

Chris: GUYS, I GOTTA WORK
ON MY APPLICATIONS.

I GOTTA GET BACK.

I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

Clip: SEE YOU.

I--I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT.

[DOOR OPENS]

HEY, CHRIS,
WHERE WERE YOU IN GYM?

IT WAS
SHIRTS VERSUS SKINS.

WE MISSED CHECKING OUT
YOUR MOLE.

I GOT CAUGHT UP IN THIS.

Maddox:
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

IT'S FOR THE YEARBOOK.

MY COUNSELOR THOUGHT IT WOULD
LOOK GOOD ON MY APPLICATIONS.

HE SAID I DON'T
HAVE ENOUGH AWARDS

OR PRESTIGIOUS
ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

THAT'S THE TERM
HE USED.

YOUR OWN WORK'S
NOT GOOD ENOUGH?

WELL, IT WAS JUST
A SUGGESTION, YOU KNOW?

IF IT HELPS ME GET INTO
A GOOD SCHOOL...

I'M SURPRISED HE EVEN
PUT IN THE EFFORT.

WHY? IT'S HIS JOB.

Maddox: GETTING A KID
INTO ART SCHOOL

DOESN'T GIVE HIM MUCH
TO BRAG ABOUT

IN THE TEACHERS' LOUNGE.

I STILL THINK I HAVE
A PRETTY GOOD SHOT.

I HEARD THERE HAVEN'T BEEN MANY
GOOD SUBMISSIONS FOR THE COVER.

SUPPOSED TO SHOW SOMETHING
TO WALSH WITHIN THE WEEK.

THEY HAVE WALSH IN CHARGE
OF SOMETHING CREATIVE?

YEAH.

Lawson: HOW'S THAT
DRAWING COMING, CHRIS?

FINISHED YET?

NOT EVEN CLOSE.

I LIKE WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
THIS IS NICE.

THANKS.

SO, MADDOX,
WHAT BRINGS YOU AROUND HERE?

CHANGE YOUR MIND
ABOUT TAKING MY CLASS?

YOU CAN STILL SIGN UP.

UM...NOPE.

I REALLY DON'T
WANT TO. SORRY.

Lawson: YOU'D BE
HELPING ME OUT.

OTHER STUDENTS
COULD LEARN FROM YOU.

THEY CAN LEARN ON
THEIR OWN, CAN'T THEY?

THAT ATTITUDE'S ONLY
GONNA GO SO FAR, MADDOX.

YOU CAN'T BE CREATIVE
IN A VACUUM.

THAT'S YOUR CHOICE.
I WAS--

KINDA IN A RUSH.
CAN YOU DO ME A FAVOR?

HA HA!
WHAT IS IT NOW?

UM...I JUST NEED A PASS
FOR THE COPY ROOM.

WHERE ARE THESE
COMING FROM?

IS THIS MADDOX?

YEAH. HE'S BEEN PUTTING
THEM UP ALL MORNING.

HAVE YOU READ IT YET?
THIS GUY STANTON,

Clip: HE WAS
IN A MENTAL INSTITUTION

FOR, LIKE, 2 YEARS,

Clip: AND HE BROKE OUT,
AND SINCE THEN--

I KNOW ABOUT
THE BREAKOUT.

Amanda: I'M JUST SURPRISED
TO SEE IT HERE.

FUNNY SEEING YOU HERE.

YOU KNOW HOW MUCH
I HATE IT WHEN WE'RE APART.

HEY, YOU KNOW AMANDA
USED TO KNOW STANTON?

THANKS, CLIP.

HOW?

IT WAS A WHILE AGO,
MADDOX. IT'S...

HAVE YOU SEEN HIM
RECENTLY?

NO. I ONLY KNEW HIM
WHEN HE WAS HERE.

WE WERE IN LATIN
TOGETHER.

YOU TALKED TO HIM?

IT WAS BETWEEN US,
MADDOX.

OH, COME ON.
WHO AM I GOING TO TELL?

YOU HAVE THE WRONG
IMPRESSION OF HIM.

WELL, THEN
CLARIFY HIM FOR ME.

Maddox: WOULD YOU RATHER
I HAVE THE WRONG IMPRESSION?

HE NEVER TALKED, REALLY.

Amanda: OR AT ALL,
I DON'T THINK.

BUT EVERY
ONCE IN A WHILE,

HE'D LEAN IN AND
WHISPER THINGS TO ME.

I WAS THE ONLY PERSON
HE WOULD TALK TO--

ME AND THIS KID
MOREHOUSE.

Maddox: MOREHOUSE?
WHO'S THAT?

DID YOU TALK TO HIM, TOO?

Amanda: YOU DON'T KNOW HIM,
MADDOX. TRUST ME.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?
WHAT WOULD HE SAY TO YOU?

HE'D JUST TELL ME ABOUT
THESE THINGS HE DID...

Amanda: AT SCHOOL...

AT NIGHT.

THEY WERE WEIRD THINGS,
LIKE HE'D STEAL ALL THE CHALK

OR JUST MOVE THINGS.

ONCE, HE SAID HE STOLE
THE MASTER SET OF KEYS

FROM THE JANITOR AND LOCKED
EVERY ROOM IN THE SCHOOL.

THEN HE TAPED A KEY
TO THE MINUTE HAND

OF EVERY CLOCK
IN EVERY ROOM.

Amanda: REMEMBER THE TIME
A COUPLE YEARS AGO

AROUND FINALS WHEN THEY SHUT
DOWN THE SCHOOL FOR A DAY?

WHEN THE PIPES
FROZE?

THAT WAS JUST THE EXCUSE
THEY USED.

JOHN CAME IN ONE NIGHT
AND, UH...

PAINTED
ALL THE WINDOWS BLACK.

IT WAS IN THIS HALLWAY,
WASN'T IT?

Maddox: HE DID IT HERE,
DIDN'T HE?

[BELL RINGS]

EXCUSE ME.

I NEED TO HEAR MORE
OF THOSE STORIES.

HOW CAN YOU BE SURE
HE ACTUALLY DID ANY OF THAT?

IT'S EVEN MORE REASON
TO GET IN TOUCH WITH HIM.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

YEAH. I THINK
THERE'S MORE WE CAN DO HERE

THAN JUST PUTTING UP FLIERS.

THIS SCHOOL'S
IN THE PAPER.

WE'RE IN THE NEWS.

EVERYBODY'S WATCHING US.

Maddox: I MEAN, IT WOULD BE
A MISSED OPPORTUNITY

IF WE DIDN'T
DO ANYTHING WITH IT.

MAYBE MOREHOUSE
HAS HIS ADDRESS.

Maddox:
DO YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS?

I THINK HE HAS LUNCH
THIS PERIOD.

I ALWAYS SEE HIM SITTING
WITH THE BURNOUTS.

HE'S FRIENDS WITH THEM?

THE BURNOUTS
DON'T HAVE FRIENDS.

I THINK HE JUST DOES IT
TO KEEP PEOPLE AWAY.

I MEAN, IF YOU WANT
TO BE IGNORED,

THEY'RE PROBABLY
YOUR BEST BET.

YEAH.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

MADDOX, COME ON.
LEAVE HIM ALONE.

NICE.

WHAT?

Chris:
NO, THAT WAS GOOD.

DON'T LOOK AT ME
LIKE THAT.

[STUDENTS CHATTERING]

YOU KNEW STANTON?

Morehouse:
WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I WAS THINKING OF GETTING
IN TOUCH WITH HIM.

YEAH, WELL, STOP
THINKING ABOUT IT.

[SIGHS]

[TEARS PAPER]

[SIGHS]

DON'T LET ANYBODY KNOW
I GAVE THIS TO YOU.

HAVE YOU HEARD
FROM HIM AT ALL?

Morehouse: HE'S TRIED TO GET
IN TOUCH WITH ME A FEW TIMES,

BUT I DON'T RESPOND.

EVER SINCE THE POLICE
GOT INVOLVED,

Morehouse:
I'VE STAYED AWAY.

IS THIS WHERE HE LIVES?

IT'S WHERE HE HIDES.

DON'T ASK ME
FOR ANYTHING ELSE.

I'M SORRY.

[TYPEWRITER BELL DINGS]

STILL NO FORMAL STATEMENT

FROM NEW PORT'S PRINCIPAL
PRESCOTT EDWARDS,

WHO CONTINUES TO DISMISS
STANTON'S CLAIM

THAT HIS INCARCERATION
WAS UNJUSTIFIED.

HOWEVER, A SOURCE INSIDE
AVCO HAS RECENTLY REVEALED

THE CONTENTS
OF STANTON'S ORIGINAL NOTE.

THE NOTE SUGGESTS
STANTON'S SENTENCE

WAS A VIOLATION
OF HIS BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS,

AND THAT THERE WAS
NO MEDICAL OR CLINICAL PROOF

THAT NECESSITATED STANTON
TO BE PLACED

UNDER THE STATE'S CARE.

COMING UP, 15 CITIZENS...

Chris: YOU GUYS,
WAIT UP! HEY.

YOU'RE LATE.

I WAS HAVING
DINNER.

THAT'S GREAT.
HOW ARE JIM AND LOUISE?

THEY'RE GOOD.
GOOD.

WE ARE GONNA READ IT,
CORRECT?

THERE'S NOTHING
TO READ.

WHAT, DID HE SEND YOU
A TAPE PLAYER, TOO?

NO. HE SENT ME A TAPE.
I BOUGHT THE TAPE PLAYER.

YOU MEAN, YOU DIDN'T
ALREADY HAVE ONE OF THOSE?

[LAUGHS]

DO YOU WANT TO
LISTEN TO IT OR NOT?

FINE.

Distorted voice:
I RECEIVED YOUR LETTER.

IF YOU WANT TO HELP ME,

THIS IS WHAT YOU MUST DO.

BEGIN BY GETTING
THE STUDENTS ON YOUR SIDE.

GIVE THEM SOMETHING.

STEAL THE TEACHERS'
LESSON PLANS

AND MAKE COPIES OF ALL
TEST ANSWERS FOR THE STUDENTS.

BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE
THE COPIES,

MARK THEM WITH A LOGO.

MAKE IT CLEAR
THAT THIS EFFORT

ORIGINATED
FROM A SINGLE SOURCE.

CONSISTENCY IN THE APPLICATION
OF YOUR VISUAL IDENTITY

WILL SUGGEST THAT
YOU ARE ALL OF ONE MIND.

[CLICK]

IT'LL NEVER WORK.

IT'S A HIGH SCHOOL.

HIGH SCHOOL KIDS
AREN'T INTO THIS.

INTO WHAT?

THINKING FOR THEMSELVES?

HOW ARE THEY THINKING
FOR THEMSELVES

IF WE'RE TELLING THEM
WHAT TO THINK?

WHO SAID WE WERE GOING
TO BE TELLING THEM

WHAT TO THINK?

ISN'T THAT IMPLIED?

WHAT IS IMPLIED, CHRIS?

NO. DON'T DO THAT,
MADDOX.

I'M NOT TRYING
TO DO ANYTHING.

I'M TRYING TO HELP.

HOW ARE YOU HELPING,
MADDOX?

YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T
EVEN HAVE TO GO

TO THIS SCHOOL
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO.

ANY PRIVATE SCHOOL IN
THE COUNTRY WOULD TAKE YOU.

WHAT DOES THAT
HAVE TO DO WITH IT?

NO. YOU HAVE THAT CHOICE!
I DON'T!

Maddox: LISTEN, FOR AS LONG
AS WE HAVE BEEN FRIENDS,

WE HAVE LISTENED
TO YOU COMPLAIN

ABOUT THE SAME THINGS
EVERY DAY.

NOW YOU HAVE A CHANCE
TO CHANGE THEM,

AND YOU DON'T WANT TO DO
ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

YEAH, I COMPLAIN,
MADDOX,

BUT I STILL GO HOME
EVERY DAY.

I STILL HAVE A LIFE
OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL

WHERE NONE OF THIS
EVEN MATTERS.

WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER
HALF OF YOUR LIFE?

HOW IS LISTENING
TO SOME TAPE

MADE BY SOMEONE
I'VE NEVER MET BEFORE

SUPPOSED TO CHANGE
MY LIFE?

Chris: I HAVE NOTHING
TO DO WITH THIS GUY!

HE'S CRAZY!
HE'S OUT OF HIS MIND!

Maddox: HE WENT
TO THE SAME SCHOOL.

HE LIVED
IN THE SAME TOWN.

Maddox: HE FELT
THE SAME THINGS WE FEEL,

ONLY HE, UNLIKE YOU,

ACTUALLY DID
SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

Chris: YEAH.
HE STOLE CHALK.

WHY DO YOU HAVE
TO MAKE A JOKE OF IT?

Clip:
MAYBE IF IT WORKED,

THEY'D ACTUALLY
EASE UP ON US.

YOU HAVE
SO MUCH TALENT, CHRIS.

THIS IS A CHANCE FOR YOU
TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT.

FINE.

[LAUGHS]
GOOD.

WE'RE GONNA START HERE--
WITH WALSH.

Maddox: TAKE THE BOOK
FROM HIS CLASS,

PASS OUT THE COPIES
OF THE ANSWERS.

WE'LL HAVE 20 PEOPLE
WORKING FOR US INSTEAD OF 3.

WHO SAYS EVERYBODY
IS GOING TO WANT

A COPY OF THE ANSWERS,
MADDOX?

FINE, CHRIS, 10.

10 ADDITIONAL PEOPLE
IS A START.

AND WHICH ONE OF US IS EVEN
SUPPOSED TO MAKE THE COPIES?

I'LL MAKE THE COPIES.
I'LL WORRY ABOUT THAT.

YOU JUST TAKE THE BOOK.

ME?

YEAH.

I'M COPYING THE ANSWERS.

CLIP'S PASSING THEM OUT.

ALL YOU GOTTA DO
IS TAKE THE BOOK.

[BELL RINGS]

AMANDA, CAN I TALK TO YOU
FOR A MOMENT, PLEASE?

YOUR HOMEWORK
FROM MONDAY?

RIGHT. I'LL GET IT
IN TOMORROW, I PROMISE.

Walsh:
MY GRADE BOOK SHOWS

A NUMBER OF OTHER
ASSIGNMENTS MISSING.

LAST I CHECKED,
I BELIEVE THERE WERE 7.

Amanda: 7?

Walsh: YES, 7. I CAN'T
IGNORE THESE FOREVER.

WITH YOUR GRADES,
NEITHER CAN YOU.

I'LL GET THEM IN.

ALL RIGHT.

HE'S SITTING
RIGHT THERE, MADDOX.

[BANGING]

Maddox:
HI, HOW YOU DOING?

Walsh: HALF DAY?

SORRY?
I SAID, "HALF DAY?"

Walsh: ARE YOU PLANNING
ON GOING HOME EARLY,

OR ARE YOU GOING TO PUT
IN A FULL DAY AT WORK?

'CAUSE YOU'RE CERTAINLY
NOT BEING PAID

TO STAND AROUND WITH
YOUR HANDS IN YOUR POCKETS.

YOU'RE EXPECTED
TO KEEP THESE HALLWAYS

QUIET AND ORDERLY.

I'M SORRY. I WILL.

I DON'T NEED TO HEAR
YOUR EXCUSES.

YOU'RE NOT AT COLLEGE
ANYMORE.

ALL RIGHT?
THIS IS THE REAL WORLD.

START BEING PART OF IT.

I DON'T KNOW IF I DID
WHAT YOU WANTED.

I WASN'T SURE ABOUT
THE ASSIGNMENT.

WHAT WAS
THE ASSIGNMENT, JACOB?

Jacob: SELF-PORTRAIT.

WHAT'S
A SELF-PORTRAIT, KAM?

Kameron: AN IMAGE
OF YOURSELF.

Lawson:
IMAGE OF YOURSELF.

THINK THIS AN IMAGE
OF ONESELF, JUSTIN?

Justin: NO.

Lawson: NO.

I THINK IT'S BETTER.

Lawson: I THINK IT WORKS
BETTER THAN THE ASSIGNMENT.

I LIKE IT.
IT'S A GOOD JOB.

THANKS.

Lawson: ALL RIGHT.
GET OUT OF HERE.

NEXT VICTIM!
ANGIE, MARTHA!

WE HAVE A DUAL
SELF-PORTRAIT HERE.

Lawson: I HOPE NO ONE'S
TRYING TO TRICK ME

AND JUST ONE OF YOU
DID ALL THIS.

NICE COLORS.

I LIKED WHAT
YOU SHOWED TODAY.

THANKS.
I LIKED YOURS, TOO.

I ACTUALLY WISH I'D DONE
SOMETHING LIKE IT.

I JUST DID
WHAT HE ASKED FOR.

YEAH, BUT IT WAS GOOD.

I MEAN, THAT'S ALL
THAT MATTERS.

Amanda: WHAT ARE YOU
WORKING ON NOW?

AH, IT'S JUST A DRAWING
FOR THE YEARBOOK.

WALSH IS IN CHARGE
OF THAT, ISN'T HE?

YEAH.

WELL, I'M SURE
HE'LL LIKE IT.

I'D LOVE TO SEE IT
WHEN IT'S DONE.

I HAVE OTHER DRAWINGS
I'D RATHER SHOW YOU,

BUT THANKS
FOR THE INTEREST.

I'M ALWAYS INTERESTED.

SEE YOU.

BYE. AHEM.

I CAN'T SEEM
TO FIND MY TEXTBOOK.

McAmmond:
CAN I BORROW YOURS?

THANKS.

OK.

McAmmond:
THE EXERCISE FOR TODAY

IS TO LOOK AT THE ANIMAL
IN FRONT OF YOU

AND COME UP
WITH 10 OBSERVATIONS.

McAmmond:
LOOK AT THEM VERY CLOSELY

AND WRITE DOWN
WHATEVER YOU SEE.

'CAUSE
THAT'S WHAT BIOLOGY IS.

ITS OBSERVATIONS...

MADE BY THE ILLINOIS
BUREAU OF INVESTIGATIONS

HAVE LED TO
NEW SECURITY GUIDELINES

McAmmond: FOR STATE
MENTAL HEALTH FACILITIES

FOLLOWING THE RECENT ILLEGAL
ENTRY AND RELEASE OF PATIENTS

McAmmond: LED BY FUGITIVE
MENTAL PATIENT JOHN STANTON.

STANTON, AN ESCAPEE FROM
THE AVCO REHABILITATION CENTER,

McAmmond: WHERE HE HAD BEEN
UNDERGOING TREATMENT

FOR UNDISCLOSED DISORDERS,
HAS BEEN IMPLICATED

AT 4 OTHER FACILITIES...

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

UM, EXCUSE ME.
CAN I SPEAK TO YOU

Walsh: FOR A MOMENT,
PLEASE?

SURE.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S PROBABLY ABOUT KAUFMAN.

WHAT ABOUT HIM?

YOU DIDN'T HEAR?
HE HIT ONE OF HIS KIDS

DURING CLASS THIS MORNING.

Kameron:
THAT NEW KID, HATCHET.

THEY WERE ARGUING,

AND I GUESS KAUFMAN
JUST SORT OF LOST IT.

THE TEACHERS
WERE TALKING ABOUT IT

Kameron:
IN THE OFFICE ALL MORNING.

THEY'RE TRYING
TO KEEP IT QUIET.

HE HIT HIM
IN THE FACE?

HE WAS BLEEDING
AND EVERYTHING.

MADDOX,
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

HE'S NOT GETTING
AWAY WITH THIS.

WAIT, MADDOX.
THERE'S MORE TO IT.

Kameron: SOME OTHER PEOPLE
SAID THAT HATCHET SLIPPED

AND SMASHED HIS FACE
ON THE DESK,

AND THAT'S HOW
HE STARTED BLEEDING.

NO ONE COULD TELL IF
HE HIT HIM OR IF HE TRIPPED--

NOT EVEN THE PEOPLE
IN THE FRONT ROW.

Chris:
SO MAYBE HE JUST FELL.

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
HE DIDN'T EVEN HIT HIM.

GIVE ME A BREAK.

Maddox: YOU'VE SEEN
KAUFMAN.

YOU KNOW
WHAT HE'S LIKE.

Maddox: WHO ARE YOU
GOING TO BELIEVE?

A TEACHER
WHO'S AFTER BLOOD

OR A KID WITH
A MOUTH FULL OF IT?

MADDOX,
WHERE ARE YOU GOING, MAN?

COME ON.
MADDOX.

OH, CHRIST.

THANKS, KAMERON.
THAT WAS LOVELY.

SO, UH...

I'D IMAGINE
THIS SCHOOL MAINTAINS

A STRONG STUDENT-TEACHER
RELATIONSHIP.

OH, YES.

I'D LIKE TO THINK SO.

MOST OF OUR TEACHERS
HAVE BEEN HERE FOR YEARS.

OVER HALF ARE TENURED,

SO THEY UNDERSTAND THE SCHOOL
AND ITS TRADITIONS WELL.

TELL ME,

IN LIGHT OF...
RECENT EVENTS,

HOW'S THE ADMINISTRATION
HOLDING UP?

OH. [LAUGHS]

VERY WELL.

EXCELLENTLY.

YES.

THANKS VERY MUCH
FOR YOUR TIME.

SURELY.

AND THANK YOU FOR A VERY
POSITIVE CONVERSATION.

THIS WAY ALL RIGHT?

YES, SIR.

I'M LOOKING FOR
A POSITIVE ARTICLE

TOMORROW MORNING.

AND IN LIGHT OF
YOUR LAST QUESTION,

I JUST WANT
TO MAKE IT CLEAR

Edwards: THAT EVERYTHING'S
UNDER CONTROL.

WELL, I HOPE I DIDN'T
LEAVE ANYTHING OUT.

I WOULDN'T
WORRY ABOUT IT.

YOUR OFFICE HAS MY NUMBER
IN CASE YOU NEED ANYTHING.

Woman: I'M SORRY
TO INTERRUPT,

BUT I'M ON MY WAY OUT
FOR THE DAY.

WHAT'S THIS?

WHAT'S WHAT?

"JUST WHEN WE THOUGHT
THE STRANGLEHOLD

"NEW PORT TEACHERS HAVE UPON US
WASN'T TIGHT ENOUGH,

"SOMETHING COMES ALONG

AND LITERALLY HITS US
IN THE FACE"?

DON'T MIND THAT.

JUST A STUDENT
TRYING TO GET A RISE

OUT OF A MINOR INCIDENT.

A TEACHER HITTING A STUDENT
IS A MINOR INCIDENT?

I DIDN'T MEAN IT
LIKE THAT.

HAVEN'T YOU WRITTEN ENOUGH
AS IT IS?

Clip: HEY. HEY, ARE YOU--
ARE YOU FROM THE PAPER?

AS A MATTER OF FACT I AM.
I'M DOING A STORY.

YOU'RE DOING A STORY
ON THE SCHOOL?

YEAH, AND I JUST PICKED
THIS UP RIGHT HERE.

OH, YOU--YOU SAW THAT?

WELL, THEY SEEM TO BE
ALL OVER THE SCHOOL.

OH, YEAH. DID MR. EDWARDS
MENTION THAT

OR SHOW THAT TO YOU?

NO. NO, NOT AT ALL.
AS A MATTER OF FACT,

HE DIDN'T REALLY WANT
TO TALK ABOUT THIS AT ALL.

OH, YOU KNOW,
HE PROBABLY FORGOT.

HE'S--HE'S GOT
A LOT ON HIS MIND.

YOU KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THIS?

OH, YEAH. I COULD TELL YOU
ANYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW.

I--I WAS ACTUALLY
IN THE CLASS.

YOU WEREYEAH,
IN THE CLASS?I MEAN...

THAT'S GREAT. I WANT
TO ASK YOU SOME QUESTIONS.

YOU MIND IF I RECORD?

NO, NOT AT ALL.
DO YOU MIND IF I RECORD?

[DROPS PAPER]

Edwards: WOULD YOU CLOSE
THE DOOR, PLEASE?

THIS ARTICLE WAS SUPPOSED TO
DIVERT ATTENTION FROM STANTON.

THE WHOLE GODDAMN THING
IS ABOUT HIM.

HE DIDN'T USE A SINGLE WORD
FROM OUR INTERVIEW.

WELL, I-IT'S NOTHING THAT
PEOPLE HAVEN'T HEARD BEFORE.

YOU THINK SO?

I'M SURE IT'S FINE.

COME ON.
GO, GO, GO. GO.

I WANT THESE DOWN.

THESE FLIERS--
I WANT THEM DOWN.

WAIT A MINUTE.
CAN YOU DO ME A FAVOR?

SURE, ANYTHING.

JUST KEEP AN EYE ON THINGS
FOR ME. OK?

YES. NO PROBLEM,
MR. EDWARDS.

ALL RIGHT.

I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT.
UM, FINISHED.

GREAT, THANKS.

Walsh: YOU'RE FINISHED?
REALLY?

EXCUSE ME?

YOU TOOK SO LONG
TO DO THE WHOLE SCHOOL,

THEY WENT BACK
TO THE CAFETERIA,

AND THEY DID IT AGAIN.

I HAD TO YANK
THESE DOWN MYSELF.

I'M SORRY. THE CAFETERIA'S
WHERE I STARTED.

MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE
GONE BACK--

MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE
GONE BACK, YES.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE
GONE BACK AND CHECKED,

BECAUSE THE SECOND
YOU LEAVE,

THEY PAPER
THE PLACE AGAIN.

YOU REALLY GOT
TO FOLLOW THROUGH

ON THESE THINGS,
YOU KNOW?

THANKS FOR THE TIP,
MR. WALSH.

HE'S NEW HERE.
GIVE HIM A CHANCE.

I'M NOT GONNA
WET-NURSE THE GUY.

OR ANYONE ELSE.

YOU WERE NEVER ASKED
TO DO THAT.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

YOU'RE RIGHT.
I'M SORRY.

IT'S JUST THIS THING
WITH KAUFMAN, AND THEN...

AND THEN THIS. IT'S...

Walsh:
IT'S DISTURBING.

YOU'RE NOT
IN THE CLASSROOM NOW.

YOU DON'T SEE
WHAT HAPPENS.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN
BY THAT?

Edwards:
I WAS A TEACHER, TOO,

OR DON'T YOU REMEMBER?

Edwards: FOR 35 YEARS,
I WAS IN THE CLASSROOM.

I DON'T WANT TO ARGUE.

THEN DON'T ARGUE. JUST TELL ME
WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND.

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?

WE'RE OUT THERE, AND
WE CAN'T DO OUR JOBS,

BECAUSE EVERY TIME
A STUDENT CROSSES THE LINE,

IT'S OPEN
FOR INTERPRETATION.

Walsh: I MEAN, THERE ARE
RULES THAT ARE LAID OUT,

AND YOU'VE GIVEN US
NO TOOLS TO ENFORCE THEM.

AND ESPECIALLY NOW,

ESPECIALLY NOW
WITH THESE RULE BOOKS.

Walsh: I-IT'S WORSE.
THEY'RE--THEY'RE USELESS.

THEY'RE BASICALLY
JUST MATERIAL FOR THEM

TO PARODY
IN THEIR ARTWORK.

LET THEM MAKE
THEIR ARTWORK.

Edwards: EVERY SCHOOL
HAS RULE BOOKS.

THAT ARE ENFORCED.

Walsh: AND EVERY SCHOOL
DOESN'T HAVE KIDS

THAT NEVER HEAR
THE WORD "NO."

CERTAINLY STANTON
NEVER DID.

[WATER RUNNING]

Edwards:
THAT ISN'T YOUR FAULT.

WE'LL FIND OUT WHO'S
DOING ALL THIS, ALL RIGHT?

OK.

CHRISTOPHER,
HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?

KEEPING BUSY.

WELL, LET'S HOPE SO.

WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A SEAT?

DO YOU HAVE IT WITH YOU?

YEAH, I'M SORRY
IT TOOK SO LONG.

I'VE BEEN TRYING A LOT
OF DIFFERENT THINGS WITH IT.

PLEASE,
DON'T MENTION IT.

NOW, FRANKLY A LOT OF THIS WORK
IS...LESS THAN STELLAR.

IN FACT, A GOOD DEAL OF IT
IS JUST PLAIN GARBAGE.

DO YOU HAVE THE DRAWING?

YEAH.

THE, UH, PAPER'S
A LITTLE BIT FRAGILE.

SORRY. JUST--
KIND OF BE CAREFUL.

ALL RIGHT.

MM-HMM.

WOW.

MMM.

Walsh: OH, YES.

[WATER RUNNING]

I'M SORRY. I DON'T THINK
THIS WILL WORK.

[CLEARS THROAT]
YOU CAN SHOW YOURSELF OUT.

CHRIS, I HAVE OTHER--
I HAVE OTHER SUBMISSIONS HERE

I NEED TO GO THROUGH NOW.

RIGHT, THE GARBAGE?

Walsh: WELL...

THIS ONE'S RATHER NICE,
DON'T YOU THINK?

[DOOR SLAMS]

Maddox: JUST--NO--DON'T--
COULD YOU NOT MOVE THINGS?

Amanda: DON'T SPEAK
TO ME LIKE I'M 5.

Maddocks: FINE.

I'M PRACTICALLY
GOING BLIND,

AND I CAN'T SEE SHIT.
I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING.

ARE YOU EVEN--
ARE YOU EVEN TRYING?

LOOK AT THIS. SEE THAT?

WHAT? IT'S GREAT.
I'M SERIOUS.

SORRY.
WHAT?

YOU TOLD ME
TO COME SEE YOU

ABOUT GETTING
SOME ANSWERS.

RIGHT. WHAT CLASS?

McAMMOND,
SIXTH PERIOD.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH
WE APPRECIATE THIS.

Angie: WE OWE YOU ONE.

HEY, DESTROY THAT WHEN
YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, OK?

YOU BETTER WATCH IT.
YOU GOT COMPETITION.

I'M SURPRISED
YOU DIDN'T MAKE THEM

BURY THEIR FACE IN THIS
FOR AN HOUR.

I HAD OTHER IDEAS ABOUT WHERE
THEY SHOULD BURY THEIR FACE.

OH, THAT'S A GOOD ONE,
MADDOX.

AT LEAST I GOT
YOUR ATTENTION SOMEHOW.

WHAT DO YOU WANT
FROM ME?

I'M SORRY I DON'T SEE
ANYTHING, I REALLY AM,

BUT THERE'S
NO POINT IN ACTING

LIKE I'M BETRAYING YOU.

Lawson:
HEY, CHRIS.

EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?

WHAT'S WRONG?

WALSH DESTROYED
MY DRAWING.

ARE YOU KIDDING?

HE RIPPED IT UP IN MY FACE
AND THREW IT IN THE GARBAGE.

WHY?

I'D HIDDEN A FEW LOGOS IN IT.

Chris: I DIDN'T THINK
ANYONE WOULD NOTICE IT

UNTIL THEY PRINTED IT,
BUT HE SAW 'EM RIGHT AWAY.

SO YOUR HOMEWORK
FOR TONIGHT

IS TO READ
CHAPTERS 11 AND 12.

UH...ADD 13 TO THAT,
PLEASE, AND TAKE NOTES,

BECAUSE I'LL BE
CHECKING THEM TOMORROW.

ANY QUESTIONS?

MADDOX--A HAND
YOU DON'T SEE EVERY DAY.

YEAH. I WAS CURIOUS

WHY YOU DESTROYED
MY FRIEND'S ARTWORK.

I THOUGHT
MAYBE THE CLASS

Maddox: WOULD LIKE TO HEAR
YOUR REASONS WHY.

WELL, I REALLY THINK
THAT THE MATTER

TO WHICH I BELIEVE
YOU ARE REFERRING

IS OF NO CONCERN
TO THEM OR YOU.

Maddox: REALLY?
IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING

THAT CENSORSHIP
CONCERNED EVERYBODY.

WELL, IT DOES,

AND I'D BE HAPPY
TO DISCUSS

THE NATURE
OF CENSORSHIP WITH YOU

AT ANOTHER TIME,

BUT RIGHT NOW
I'M BUSY

DOING MY JOB.

Maddox: YOUR JOB?

DOES DESTROYING
YOUR STUDENTS' WORK

FALL WITHIN THE BOUNDS
OF YOUR JOB DESCRIPTION?

Walsh:
MY JOB DESCRIPTION

IS TO ASSURE
THAT STUDENTS--

INCLUDING YOURSELF,
MR. MADDOX--

DO NOT DISRUPT
OR OBSTRUCT--

Maddox: THE OPERATION
AND FUNCTIONS

OF NEW PORT SOUTH

OR CAUSE ANY EVENTS

WHICH MIGHT INCITE
DISORDERLY ACTS.

Maddox:
THAT'S GREAT,

BUT I DON'T REMEMBER
THE SECTION IN THE RULE BOOK

ABOUT DESTROYING WORK
THAT THREATENS YOU.

DID THE DRAWING
THREATEN YOU?

OH, YES, DEEPLY.

YOUR FRIEND'S CARTOON
DEEPLY, DEEPLY DISTURBED ME.

AT LEAST IT MUST'VE BEEN
A LITTLE FRUSTRATING, RIGHT?

I MEAN,
YOU RIPPED IT UP.

Maddox: BUT YOU'RE
A HISTORY TEACHER.

YOU'RE USED TO WAITING
FOR PEOPLE TO DO THINGS--

MEANINGFUL THINGS,
HISTORIC THINGS--

Maddox: SO THAT YOU CAN
CHANGE A WORD OR TWO

AND CALL IT YOUR OWN.

I GUESS AFTER A WHILE IT MUST
GET KIND OF FRUSTRATING,

BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT
THEY'RE DOING MORE THAN YOU.

THE THINGS
THAT I MAKE HAPPEN

GO A LOT FURTHER THAN
YOU WILL EVER KNOW.

WHERE?
TO SUMMER SCHOOL?

Walsh:
YOU'RE REALLY FUNNY--

VERY, VERY FUNNY.

YOU KNOW,
YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY

WOUNDED LITTLE BOY
WALKING AROUND.

YOU MAY THINK YOU ARE,
BUT YOU'RE NOT.

Walsh: AFTER SPENDING
A DAY IN A CLASSROOM

WITH SOMEONE LIKE YOU,

I STILL HAVE TO GO HOME

AND POTTY TRAIN
2 OF MY OWN.

DO YOU ENJOY STIFLING
THEIR CREATIVITY AS WELL?

Maddox: I MEAN, WHEN THEY
BRING HOME A FINGER PAINTING

THAT DOESN'T QUITE MEET
YOUR STANDARDS,

DO YOU PULL IT OFF
OF THE REFRIGERATOR

AND RIP IT UP?

WHAT IS LIFE LIKE
IN YOUR HOUSE?

NOW LET'S TALK
ABOUT YOU, MADDOX.

Walsh: WHAT ARE YOU,
16, 17, 17 1/2 NOW?

YOU CAN'T EVEN BUY
YOUR OWN CLOTHES.

Walsh: YOU STILL HAVE
TO WAIT FOR YOUR MOTHER

TO DRIVE YOU
TO THE MALL.

SHE IS STILL DRIVING,
ISN'T SHE?

Walsh: HMM?

THEN YOU TAKE HER
MONEY,

BUY THINGS THAT
YOU'VE HEARD ARE COOL--

MUSIC MAGAZINES,

BOOKS OTHER PEOPLE
HAVE WRITTEN--

Walsh: AND YOU TAKE
THEIR WORDS,

AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES UP
YOUR PERSONAL IDENTITY.

OH, YOU'RE DIFFERENT,
MADDOX--

JUST LIKE
EVERYBODY ELSE.

MONEY'S ALWAYS YOUR
FINAL RESORT, ISN'T IT,

JUST LIKE HITTING KIDS
IS FOR YOUR COLLEAGUES.

Maddox: WELL, I DON'T THINK
I HAVE ANYTHING ON ME

THAT YOU CAN RIP UP,

SO MAYBE YOU WANT TO TAKE
A SHOT AT ME, TOO.

GET OUT OF MY CLASSROOM
RIGHT NOW

AND GO DOWN
TO THE OFFICE.

YOU'VE DISRUPTED IT
LONG ENOUGH.

HOW OLD ARE YOU,
YOU FUCKING PRICK?

Maddox: 30?

35?

Maddox: HOW MANY
MORE YEARS OF THIS

DO YOU HAVE LEFT?
ANOTHER 30?

ANOTHER 35?

IS THIS WHAT YOUR LIFE
LOOKS LIKE?

GET OUT.

GET OUT!

EVERYTHING'S PUT AWAY.

IS IT OK IF I LEAVE NOW?

YES. AHEM.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT,
MR. WALSH?

YES. I'M FINE, KAMERON.
THANK YOU.

HEY, COACH,

MIND TAKING A BREATHER?

SURE.

SO, UH...

STILL GOT THOSE KEYS?

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

COME IN.

[DOOR OPENS]

Walsh:
I CAUGHT ONE.

YOU DID?
MMM.

WHO?
MADDOX.

I FOUND THESE
IN HIS LOCKER.

WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION
TO SEARCH HIS LOCKER?

WELL, I SAW HIM

HANDING THESE OUT
IN THE HALLWAY

Walsh: AND FOLLOWED HIM
BACK TO HIS LOCKER.

IT WAS WITHIN MY RIGHT

UNDER RULE 14
OUT OF YOUR RULE BOOK.

YES. I KNOW
THE RULE BOOK.

GOOD.

WELL, THEN YOU'RE
ALSO FAMILIAR

WITH THE RULE REGARDING
THE CONSEQUENCES

OF STEALING
SCHOOL PROPERTY.

WHAT?

WELL, AFTERWARDS,
I WENT DOWN TO THE ART ROOM,

AND LAWSON
WASN'T THERE,

SO I CHECKED
THE REQUISITION LIST MYSELF.

THERE'S A HUGE AMOUNT
OF MATERIAL MISSING.

SO, IN MY BOOK,
ANYWAY,

THAT'S--
THAT'S 4 DAYS--

AT LEAST 4 DAYS, RIGHT?

IS SUSPENDING HIM
REALLY THE ANSWER?

WHY DON'T WE
WORK WITH HIM INSTEAD?

SUSPENDING HIM
ISN'T PRODUCTIVE.

THE LAST TIME
I WAS IN THIS OFFICE,

YOU TOLD ME THAT IF
I FOUND WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE,

THEY WOULD BE PUNISHED.

NOW I FOUND
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE.

I KNOW
THAT'S WHAT I SAID.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, THIS ISN'T
ABOUT DOING THEIR ARTWORK.

THIS IS ABOUT STEALING
SCHOOL PROPERTY.

I'M AGREEING WITH YOU.

STEALING IS SOMETHING
WE SHOULDN'T TOLERATE,

AND WE WON'T.

WHAT I HAVE TO DO
IS THINK ABOUT THIS

FOR A DAY OR TWO,

AND WE'LL TALK.

I'LL COME UP
WITH A SOLUTION

TO THIS, ALL RIGHT?

WELL, THEN
I'LL LEAVE IT TO YOU.

[PUTS PAPERS ON DESK]

Clip: HOW CAN THEY
SEARCH YOUR LOCKER

WITHOUT ASKING YOU
FIRST?

THEY DO IT
ALL THE TIME.

THE LOCKERS
DON'T BELONG TO US.

NOTHING DOES.

WE SHOULD DO SOMETHING.

PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW
ABOUT IT.

Maddox: IT'S GOT
TO BE SOMETHING

THAT INVOLVES
THE WHOLE SCHOOL.

THEY NEED TO KNOW THAT
THERE WILL BE REPERCUSSIONS

IF THEY TRY THIS AGAIN.

[NO AUDIO]

[BELL RINGING]

Walsh: ALL RIGHT,
STAY WITH YOUR HOMEROOM,

SINGLE FILE.

WATCH YOUR STEP.

Man: FIND YOUR HOMEROOM
TEACHERS, PLEASE.

Second man:
STAY WITH YOUR HOMEROOM.

Third man:
WAS THIS SCHEDULED?

Fourth man:
NOT AS FAR AS I KNOW.

[STUDENTS CHATTERING]

[SIREN APPROACHES]

Edwards: THAT'S IT.

COME ON.

Walsh:
COME ON, LET'S GO.

COME ON, EVERYONE.
IS THAT IT?

THAT'S EVERYBODY?
YEAH?

HOMEROOM GROUPS,
PLEASE.

HOMEROOM GROUPS.

COME ON, EVERYONE.

Edwards:
NO MILLING AROUND.

[HONKS HORN]

[SIREN STOPS]

Edwards:
WHAT ABOUT IN HERE?

I CHECKED
THE GYMNASIUM.

WHAT ABOUT
UPSTAIRS?

YEAH.

Edwards:
EVERYONE BACK INSIDE.

FALSE ALARM.

Edwards: FALSE ALARM.

EVERYONE BACK INSIDE.

COME ON, FOLKS.

Edwards:
EVERYONE BACK INSIDE.

OK, MOVE.

Edwards:
WOULD THE TEACHERS PLEASE

ORGANIZE THEIR HOMEROOMS?

WHAT THE HELL'S
GOING ON?

I DON'T KNOW.

WHY ISN'T ANYONE MOVING?

[BLOWS WHISTLE]

Student: WHOO!

[NO AUDIO]

HEY, BACK INSIDE.

[NO AUDIO]

Edwards: IF I COULD HAVE
YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE.

I TRUST EVERYONE KNOWS

THAT A LINE
HAS CLEARLY BEEN CROSSED.

NOT ONLY
ARE WE FINED $500

EVERY TIME
A FALSE ALARM IS REPORTED,

BUT OUR PHONE LINES
HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY JAMMED

SINCE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON

WITH COMPLAINTS
FROM THE COMMUNITY.

Edwards:
EVERY STUDENT PARTICIPATED,

SO LOGICALLY,

EVERY STUDENT
SHOULD BE PUNISHED.

Edwards: AS A RESULT,

MONDAY'S INSTITUTE DAY
WILL BE CANCELED.

DAMN!

Edwards: AND THERE WILL BE
NO 3-DAY WEEKEND.

WE INTEND TO FIND
THE PERSON,

OR PERSONS,
RESPONSIBLE,

AND I GUARANTEE

THEIR PUNISHMENT WILL BE
CONSIDERABLY MORE SEVERE.

[STAPLING]

Boy:
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

YOU'RE COVERING
OUR POSTER.

I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO.

WHAT ABOUT THE ONES
IN THE CAFETERIA?

YOU DIDN'T MEAN
TO COVER THOSE, EITHER?

Boy: YOU THINK PEOPLE ACTUALLY
CARE ABOUT THIS STUFF?

OBVIOUSLY,
THE WHOLE SCHOOL DOES.

WHY? BECAUSE
THEY TOOK A DAY OFF?

THAT DIDN'T MEAN
ANYTHING.

IT WAS JUST AN EXCUSE
TO GO OUTSIDE.

LIKE THE PEOPLE THAT GO
TO YOUR GAMES, RIGHT?

HEY, THEY GO
BECAUSE THEY WANT TO.

WELL, WE'RE DOING THIS
BECAUSE WE WANT TO.

THEY'RE BOTH
EQUALLY POINTLESS,

SO WHY FIGHT
ABOUT IT, MAN?

NOW YOU'RE SAYING
WHAT I DO IS POINTLESS?

THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAID.

YOU MISUNDERSTOOD
WHAT I SAID.

Chris: UHH!
GET OFF OF ME!

Maddox: GET OFF!

UHH!

WHY ARE YOU THE ONLY ONE
NOT HELPING ME?

[STAPLES]
AAH!

[CHATTERING]

HEY, CAN I TALK TO YOU
FOR A SEC?

UH, ABOUT YESTERDAY,

I JUST--I JUST WANTED
TO SAY I WAS SORRY.

AHEM.

Clip:
ARE YOU READY?

YEAH.
LET'S DO IT.

THERE'S A HUGE FIGHT
UP ON THE FIELD.

THERE'S A HUGE FIGHT
UP ON THE FIELD--

THESE 2 GUYS
STRANGLING EACH OTHER.

ALL RIGHT. KEEP AN EYE
ON THE PLACE. COME ON.

LET'S GO. WE GOT A BIG FIGHT
ON THE P.E. FIELD.

ALL OF YOU.

GO, GO.

[FILM PROJECTOR STARTS]

[TECHNO MUSIC PLAYING]

TURN IT OFF!

TURN IT OFF!

TURN IT OFF!
PUT THE LIGHTS ON!

TURN IT OFF!

Walsh: TURN IT OFF!

[STUDENTS CHEERING]

AND THE TEXTBOOKS
ARE WAY OUTDATED,

AND MOST OF THE TEACHERS'
EDITIONS ARE STILL MISSING.

I'LL TRY MY BEST.

I UNDERSTAND
EVERYTHING YOU'RE SAYING.

AH, MIKE,I NEED
YOU'RE HERE.CLAY.

WE'LL GET THE CLAY.

EVERYONE, PLEASE,
HAVE A SEAT.

Edwards: I'D LIKE
TO GET THINGS UNDERWAY.

MIKE...

MAYBE YOU SHOULD
START US OFF.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE
THEY'RE COMING FROM.

I TEAR DOWN HUNDREDS
EVERY DAY.

THEY JUST KEEP
RECIRCULATING.

THEY'RE PUTTING THEM
IN THE BOOKS

AND IN THE CARD CATALOG.

Woman: WE SPEND
A COUPLE OF HOURS

EVERY MORNING
JUST TAKING THEM OUT.

HAVE YOU SEEN SOME OF THE THINGS
THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT US?

McAmmond: THE PICTURES
THAT THEY'RE USING?

Edwards: YES.

McAmmond: Lawson:
WHAT? HA HA HA!

UH, NOTHING.

IT'S...

WELL, ACTUALLY,
YOU KNOW,

A LOT OF IT'S
VERY GOOD WORK.

OH, COME ON.

Edwards: EVERYONE, PLEASE.
ENOUGH.

CALM DOWN, PLEASE.

THE POSTERS AND NEWSLETTERS
ARE A PROBLEM.

I ADMIT THAT,
AND WE'RE DOING OUR BEST

TO KEEP IT
UNDER CONTROL.

RIGHT, MIKE?

OH, YEAH, YEAH.

Edwards:
BUT WE HAVE A FEW ISSUES

THAT ARE MORE PRESSING

THAT WE ALL NEED
TO BE AWARE OF.

WE'VE HAD
A FEW INSTANCES

OF PEOPLE
COMING INTO SCHOOL THAT...

THAT WE DON'T RECOGNIZE.

Edwards: IT'S NOTHING
TO PANIC ABOUT.

WE JUST WANT YOU
ON THE LOOKOUT.

PEOPLE ARE SNEAKING
INTO THE SCHOOL?

WHO ARE THEY?

WE HAVEN'T HAD
ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS SO FAR.

Walsh: PEOPLE SNEAKING
INTO THE SCHOOL

IS A MAJOR PROBLEM
IN ITSELF.

THERE'S NO POINT
IN GETTING WORKED UP.

WELL, YES, THERE IS.
I MEAN...

Walsh: I'M SORRY,
BUT THERE IS.

YOU KNOW, I'M NOT
COMING INTO WORK

WITH STRANGERS MEANDERING
AROUND THE HALLWAYS.

IT ISN'T SAFE.
I DON'T FEEL SAFE.

YOU FEEL SAFE?

[FACULTY CHATTER]

Walsh: I MEAN, SINCE
SOMEONE CAN GET HURT,

AT THE VERY LEAST,
WE'VE GOT TO INFORM

THE PARENTS OF THIS,

OR THERE'S
A LIABILITY PROBLEM.

Walsh: SOMETHING'S
GOT TO BE DONE.

WE SHOULD SET
CHECKPOINTS

AT THE DOORS AND EXITS,
AT LEAST.

THAT'S ACTUALLY
A VERY GOOD IDEA.

THEN ONLY STUDENTS
WITH I.D.s CAN GET IN.

WE SHOULD CHECK
THEIR BAGS.

WE--WE COULD GET
CAMERAS.

YEAH. WE COULD GET
BARBED WIRE.

WE COULD HIRE
MORE HALL MONITORS.

OH, YEAH, HALL MONITORS.
THAT'S GREAT. GREAT IDEA.

Edwards: IF WE DO
WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING,

THEN EVERYTHING THEY'VE SAID
ABOUT US WILL BE TRUE.

Edwards: WE WILL BE
TREATING THEM LIKE PRISONERS.

WE CANNOT VICTIMIZE
THE STUDENTS.

AS WE'VE SEEN,
THEY'LL SPITE US FOR IT

THE FIRST CHANCE
THEY GET.

WELL, THEN AT LEAST
LET US JUST WEED OUT

THE TROUBLEMAKERS.

IT'S NO MYSTERY TO US
WHO THEY ARE.

WHO?

COME ON.

WELL, WHO DO YOU
HAVE IN MIND?WAKE UP.

Edwards: I'VE SAID IT
A MILLION TIMES.

I'LL SAY IT AGAIN.

I DO NOT WANT
MY SCHOOL

TURNING INTO
A REVOLVING DOOR

WHERE KIDS COME IN ONE WAY
AND ARE TOSSED OUT ANOTHER.

Edwards: IT'S NO WAY
TO RUN A SCHOOL.

McAmmond: THEN WHAT ARE WE
LEADING THEM TO BELIEVE?

THEY WATCH THE STUFF
ON THE NEWS,

THEY SEE THE PAPERS,
AND THEN THEY COME HERE,

AND WE ACT LIKE
EVERYTHING IS FINE.

IF THE SAME STUDENTS
WHO ARE MAKING THESE

HAVE ANYTHING TO DO
WITH OUR UNWANTED VISITORS,

THEN YOU'VE GOT TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

THEY'RE ONLY WORDS.

THEY'RE DANGEROUS.

SO IS TRYING
TO CONTROL THEM.

ARE YOU GOING TO LET STANTON
DO THIS TO US TWICE?

I WANT THE NAMES
OF EVERYONE INVOLVED.

Edwards:
WE'LL START A LIST.

I WENT.

WHO WAS THERE?

EVERYBODY.

WHAT WAS SAID?

[SIGHS]

EDWARDS IS PUTTING
TOGETHER A LIST

OF EVERYBODY THAT
HE THINKS IS INVOLVED.

THE NEXT KID
THAT THEY CATCH

WHOSE NAME
IS ON THE LIST

IS GOING
TO BE EXPELLED.

FROM THERE,
IT'S ANYBODY'S GUESS.

WE'RE NOT ON IT,
ARE WE?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WALSH MADE SURE
YOU WERE THE FIRST NAME

ON THE LIST, MADDOX.

WE HAVE TO BE
VERY CAREFUL.

Wilson:
WHAT'S NEXT?

Maddox: WE'LL GET THEM
BACK FOR THIS.

CLIP, YOU STAY WITH CHRIS.

Clip: ALL RIGHT.
COME ON.

BILL.

MAY I SPEAK TO YOU?

WHAT?

WHAT'S THIS?

CLASS...

IT APPEARS THAT WE HAVE
AN ANONYMOUS ARTIST

IN OUR MIDST.

ANYBODY HERE
LIKE TO WORK IN COLLAGE?

Lawson:
IT'S ALL HERE, ISN'T IT?

WELL DOCUMENTED.

UM...

"TEENAGER PARALYZED

Lawson:
FROM THE WAIST DOWN,"

TELEPHONE POLE...

D.U.I.

[LAWSON SCOFFS]

HE JUST LEFT OUT
ONE THING.

Lawson: THAT KID
WHO WAS PARALYZED...

IS MY SON.

IT WAS HIS SON, MADDOX.

DON'T YOU GET IT?

HOW WAS I
SUPPOSED TO KNOW?

Chris:
DON'T GIVE ME THAT.

YOU KNEW THE WHOLE TIME.

YOU JUST COULDN'T WAIT
TO PULL THIS ONE, HUH?

Maddox: I'M JUST
MAKING A POINT, CHRIS.

WHAT?

WE'RE THE ONES
THEY ALWAYS BLAME

FOR THINGS LIKE THIS.

IT'S ALWAYS KIDS.
WHAT?

KIDS DRIVE DRUNK.

KIDS CRASH CARS.

THAT'S IT?

THAT'S YOUR--
THAT'S YOUR REASON?

YOU LIED! YOU RUINED
SOMEONE'S LIFE FOR THAT?

THAT'S BULLSHIT,
MADDOX!

NO ONE WANTS TO LISTEN
TO YOU ANYMORE!

Chris:
I'M SICK OF IT!

IT'S NOT MY FAULT.

IT'S NOT MY FAULT
HE DIDN'T THINK

BEFORE HE GOT IN A CAR.

I'M NO DIFFERENT
THAN YOU ARE, CHRIS.

YOU WOULD'VE DONE
THE SAME THING.

CHRIS,
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

I NEED TO GO HOME
FOR A WHILE.

IS SOMETHING WRONG?

Chris: IT HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH YOU.

IS IT MADDOX?

IT'S A LOT OF THINGS.

IF IT'S ABOUT MADDOX,
YOU CAN SAY IT.

CHRIS, I CARE MORE
ABOUT YOU.

YOU KNOW THAT, DON'T YOU?

THANKS.

I GOT TO GO.

[SIGHS]

Stanton: NOW THAT YOU HAVE
THE SUPPORT

OF THE STUDENTS,

USE THEM TO HELP EXPOSE

THE INTERNAL INADEQUACIES

OF THE ADMINISTRATION.

GATHER AS MANY STUDENTS
AS POSSIBLE

AND CAP-CAPTURE
A PORTION OF THE SCHOOL,

FORCING THE ADMINISTRATION

INTO AN OVERREACTION

INVOLVING
POLICE AND MEDIA.

Clip:
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Maddox:
OH, N-NOTHING.

I WAS JUST--

HOW LONG HAVE YOU
BEEN HERE?

I JUST GOT HERE, LIKE,
10 MINUTES AGO. I WAS JUST--

WHY ARE YOU MESSING
WITH MY STUFF?

Clip:
I HEARD A VOICE.

WAS THAT YOUR VOICE?

Radio: AFTER A LONG SEARCH,
IOWA STATE POLICE

APPREHENDED ILLINOIS
FUGITIVE JOHN STANTON

DURING A ROUTINE
TRAFFIC STOP

IN CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA.

STANTON OFFERED
NO RESISTANCE.

HE'LL BE TURNED OVER
TO ILLINOIS AUTHORITIES

THIS AFTERNOON.

STATE POLICE HAVE SCHEDULED
A PRESS BRIEFING

FOR 6:00 THIS EVENING.

[ALARM BEEPING]

STANTON WAS A STUDENT

AT NEW PORT SOUTH
HIGH SCHOOL

BEFORE BEING ADMITTED
TO AVCO REHAB

IN DOWNSTATE--

[BEEPING STOPS]

McAmmond: "THE EYES
ARE SPECIALIZED ORGANS

"THAT FUNCTION
BY RECEIVING LIGHT

"AND TRANSMITTING IMPULSES

"TO THE VISUAL CORTEX
OF THE BRAIN.

"ALL THE STRUCTURES
OF THE EYE ACT TOGETHER

"TO FOCUS LIGHT
ON THE RETINA,

THE LIGHT-SENSITIVE
INNER LAYER OF THE EYE."

WHERE'S MADDOX?

YOU HAVEN'T
HEARD YET?

NO, I JUST GOT HERE.
HEARD WHAT?

WELL, EVERYONE'S SAYING
HE FLIPPED OUT

AND LOCKED HIMSELF
IN THE PUBLIC ROOM

AND ISN'T COMING OUT.

IS MADDOX BY HIMSELF?

NO. THERE'S PEOPLE
WITH HIM.

YOUR GIRLFRIEND'S
THERE, TOO.

AMANDA?

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

EXCUSE ME, MISS McAMMOND.
I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT.

I HAVE A MESSAGE
FOR CHRIS MINOR.

THIS IS WHY YOU BROUGHT
US HERE, TO LOCK US IN?

I THINK YOU SHOULD
REALLY CALM DOWN, MADDOX.

I DIDN'T ASK YOU
TO THINK.

WHAT ABOUT EDWARDS' SPEECH,
DID YOU THINK OF THAT?

NOW YOU'RE
GETTIN' IT.WHAT SPEECH?

Amanda: HE'S ADDRESSING
THE SCHOOL BOARD

RIGHT HERE
IN AN HOUR OR SO.

SOUNDS LIKE IT WON'T BE AS LONG
A STANDOFF AS YOU THINK.

THE SCHOOL BOARD'S GONNA
WALK IN HERE IN AN HOUR,

AND WE'LL JUST BE
SITTING HERE.

I HEARD HE SAID
NOBODY'S GETTING IN.

MADDOX, EVENTUALLY,
THEY'LL GET IN.

WHAT ABOUT CHRIS?
HE'S STILL OUTSIDE.

YOU ACTUALLY THINK

CHRIS WANTS ANYTHING
TO DO WITH THIS?

I DON'T KNOW.
LET'S FIND OUT.

Maddox:
CHRIS, ARE YOU THERE?

MADDOX,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WHERE ARE YOU?

Chris: WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?
WHO ELSE IS THERE, MADDOX?

EVERYONE.
WE'RE ALL HERE.

Chris:
AMANDA, TOO?

Maddox: EVERYONE.

CHRIS, I NEED YOU TO RUN
TO THE COMPUTER LAB.

Chris: I'M GONNA STOP
TALKING ON THIS, ALL RIGHT?

THE TEACHERS CAN HEAR
EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE SAYING.

THESE ARE THE ONLY 2
THAT ARE OUT, CHRIS.

I LOCKED THE REST
IN THE BASEMENT.

I NEED YOU TO RUN TO
THE COMPUTER LAB NOW.

IT'S IMPORTANT.

Chris:
GIVE ME A MINUTE.

MY GOD, WHAT IS THIS?

TEACHERS HAVE BEEN REPORTING
LOW ATTENDANCE ALL DAY.

EVERYONE'S BEEN COMING HERE.

WHAT ABOUT
THE SCHOOL BOARD?

I CALLED THEIR OFFICE AND TRIED
TO POSTPONE THE MEETING,

Woman:
BUT THEY'D ALREADY LEFT.

THEY SHOULD BE HERE
WITHIN THE HOUR.

Edwards: JESUS,
THEY CAN'T SEE THIS.

Walsh:
GET BACK TO CLASS.

COME ON,
BREAK IT UP.

WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?

THE WHOLE SCHOOL'S
GOING TO HELL.

COME ON, MOVE BACK!
LET'S GO!

THEY COULD GET IN THROUGH
THE WINDOWS IF WE WANTED TO.

THEN WE'D HAVE
TO STOP THEM.

WITH WHAT,
OUR BARE HANDS?

IF IT CAME
TO THAT.

Clip:
THAT'S INTELLIGENT.

SHOULD I CALL
HAIR AND MAKEUP

SO YOU'RE READY WHEN
THE NEWS CREW GETS HERE?

Amanda: I MEAN,
COME ON, MADDOX.

THIS IS YOUR BIG DEBUT.

YOU GOT TO BE READY
FOR THE CAMERAS.

[WHISPERING] You're
really funny, Amanda.

COULD YOU PLEASE GO ON?

Clip:
COME ON, MADDOX.

LEAVE HER ALONE!

Clip: RELAX.

THIS ISN'T DOING US
ANY GOOD.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, LEAVE.
I'M NOT STOPPING YOU.

I'M SORRY. ISN'T THERE
A CHAIN ON THE DOOR?

WHO LOCKED IT?

I--

COACH,
DO YOU HAVE A KEY?

STEP ASIDE.

COME ON, GET TO CLASS.
LET'S GO.

MADDOX, I'M HERE.

Maddox: FROM WHERE YOU ARE NOW,
CLICK ON "STUDENT RECORDS."

GO TO OPTION 16.

IT'S GONNA ASK YOU
FOR YOUR PASSWORD.

THE PASSWORD IS 42361.

I CAN'T BELIEVE
WE'RE JUST SITTING HERE.

THIS IS SO STUPID.

I SAY WE JUST
SLIP OUT NOW

AND HOPEFULLY GET LOST
IN THE CROWD.

IT'S THE ONLY CHANCE
WE'VE GOT TO GET OUT.

Boy: YOU HAVE
ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE

WHAT YOU'RE DOING,
DO YOU?

Maddox: THAT'S WHAT THEY
SAID ABOUT STANTON, TOO.

RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT
THEY SAID ABOUT STANTON.

I'M CURIOUS, MADDOX,
ABOUT WHAT IT IS

THAT STANTON
HAS EVER DONE.

LET'S GET IT OUT
IN THE OPEN.

IT'S THE LEAST YOU COULD DO
FOR ALL OF US.

LET'S START
WITH HIS REVOLUTION.

UH, WHAT'S IT ABOUT?
HE'S FREEING PEOPLE? WHY?

OK, CAN'T ANSWER THAT ONE.
LET'S TRY YOU, THEN.

Boy: LOCKING US IN HERE.
HOW CAN YOU JUSTIFY THAT?

YOU DID THIS BECAUSE YOU
DON'T LIKE THEIR RULES,

AND YOU WANT TO MAKE
YOUR OWN RULES.

WELL, WHAT ARE YOUR RULES?

COME ON, MADDOX!
MAKE SOME RULES!

YOU'RE JUST AS LOST
AS STANTON IS.

Man:
COME ON, OPEN UP!

OPEN THE DOOR!

I CAN'T ERASE THESE
KIDS' GRADES, MADDOX.

DO IT NOW, CHRIS.

Amanda: CHRIS
WILL NEVER DO IT.

CHRIS.

Maddox: HE'LL DO
WHATEVER I TELL HIM.

Amanda:
NOT THIS TIME.

Maddox:
ARE YOU KIDDING?

CHRIS?

I SAY, "JUMP,"
AND HE SAYS, "HOW HIGH?"

Amanda: YOU'RE
WRONG, MADDOX.

Maddox: WHAT,
LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW

WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?

MAYBE YOU DON'T.

Maddox: MAYBE YOU DON'T
KNOW HIM WELL ENOUGH YET.

WHAT CHRIS WILL DO...

IS SIT UP THERE AND
RUN IT THROUGH HIS MIND,

AND THEN...

HE'LL CAVE IN.

TRUST ME.

HE DOES THE SAME THING
EVERY TIME.

PICK UP, MADDOX.

DID YOU DO IT?

NO, NOT YET.

I HAVEN'T DECIDED YET
WHETHER OR NOT TO CAVE IN.

IT'S FUNNY,
ISN'T IT, MADDOX?

Maddox:
WHAT--WHAT IS?

ALL THE TIME THAT YOU'VE SPENT
ACCUSING THE SYSTEM

OF CONTROLLING
AND MANIPULATING PEOPLE,

BUT ALL YOU END UP DOING
IS THE SAME THING.

Man: OPEN THIS DOOR!

HEY, GET BACK!

Man: OPEN THE DOOR.

OH, I'M--I'M SORRY.

WAS THAT ON?

Clip: DID I LEAVE--
DID HE HEAR YOU?

OH.

YOU DIDN'T
WANT HIM TO, RIGHT?

MADDOX!

HEY!
YO, MAN!

GET OFF ME!

BACK OFF!
BACK OFF!

COME ON.

COME ON,
HOLD HIM DOWN!

THE KEY!

GET OFF!

GET OFF HIM!
GET OFF HIM!

MADDOX!

MADDOX!

Boy: HEY, HEY, HEY!

MADDOX!

Boy: GIVE ME A HAND!

MADDOX, STOP!
GET OFF!

MADDOX!

[MADDOX PANTING]

ENOUGH.

ENOUGH.

[WATER RUNNING]

OH, SHIT!

JOHN!

COULD YOU HELP ME?

DON'T LOOK DOWN.
PUSH OUT. HELP ME!

UHH!

COME ON, HELP!

HELP!

Man: HELP! HELP!

SHIT. BREATHE.

BREATHE.

STOP IT!

WHY WEREN'T YOU INSIDE?

I OVERSLEPT.

I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU'D HAVE
A BETTER REASON THAN THAT.

I WISH THAT I DID.

Edwards: WHY'D THIS
ALL HAPPEN, CHRIS?

YOU CAN SAY
WHATEVER YOU WANT.

I WON'T HOLD IT
AGAINST YOU.

I THINK PEOPLE WANTED
SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN.

Chris: MADDOX
GAVE THEM THAT.

Amanda: I'M GLAD
YOU WEREN'T THERE TO SEE IT.

YOU SHOULD FEEL LUCKY.

I DO.

YOU SHOULD GO.

I BROKE MY GLASSES.

THAT'S FINE.
YOU GO AHEAD, THOUGH.

I'LL BE--I'LL BE FINE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK STANTON
WOULD SAY ABOUT ALL THIS--

YOUR, UH, BEING CAUGHT,

HAVING TO SIT HERE AND
ANSWER A LOT OF QUESTIONS?

I HAVEN'T
ANSWERED ANYTHING.

YOU THINK HE'D SAY YOU
WERE PUTTING YOURSELF

BEFORE THE MOVEMENT?

I WOULDN'T HAVE A CHOICE,
AND HE WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT.

Walsh: AND THAT WOULD
BE AN UNDERSTANDING

BETWEEN FRIENDS?

YOU ARE FRIENDS, RIGHT?

Walsh: HMM?

DID YOU KNOW HIM WHEN HE
WAS GOING TO SCHOOL HERE?

DID HE EVER
SPEAK TO YOU?

HMM? I DOUBT
HE EVEN KNEW YOUR NAME.

THAT WAS DIFFERENT.
THAT WAS BEFORE.

Walsh: BEFORE WHAT?
ALL THIS?

YOU MEAN YOU WENT
TO ALL THIS TROUBLE,

YOU MADE ALL THIS MESS
JUST SO THAT STANTON

WOULD KNOW YOUR NAME?

Walsh: WHAT ABOUT
THE REST OF THE SCHOOL?

WERE THEY AWARE OF YOU?

THE PAPERS, DID THEY
WRITE ABOUT YOU?

DID THEY KNOW YOUR NAME?

DID ANYBODY
KNOW ABOUT YOU?

THEY DO NOW.

WHAT'S THIS?

TAKE A LOOK.

THAT'S FROM
AN ACCIDENT STANTON HAD

2 DAYS BEFORE
HE WAS SENT AWAY.

IT DOESN'T LOOK
LIKE AN ACCIDENT.

NO, IT DOESN'T,
DOES IT?

BUT THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS
LIKE WHEN YOU PUT YOUR FISTS

THROUGH 55 PANES OF GLASS.

WHY DID YOU SHOW ME THIS?

BECAUSE THAT'S YOU.

THAT'S YOU
IN 2 WEEKS, MADDOX.
