Coach: OK, LADIES...

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.
