Assassination of a High School President

en
00:00:44 You want to know the truth
00:00:47 You've got to break it down
00:00:50 Unfortunately, at St Donovan's,
00:00:52 the periodic table is more crooked
00:00:57 Just give me the chance
00:01:02 Case in point, Spanish homework
00:01:05 "Dame un batido de esperma"
00:01:10 It means, "give me a sperm milkshake"
00:01:15 And 22 kids gave that as an answer
00:01:19 I'm not sure about the milkshake,
00:01:21 but somebody is sure feeding us
00:01:25 Every clique on campus is copying
00:01:29 Burn-outs, pretty boys, drama-dorks,
00:01:33 you name it
00:01:36 It's big all right
00:01:38 And I'm on it like pink rubber bands
00:01:43 The name's Bobby Funke
00:01:47 Wait, wait a second. Who?
00:01:50 Bobby Funke. l write for the paper.
00:01:53 No, you don't. l'm Tad Goltz,
00:01:54 and l write for the paper.
00:01:57 Wait, aren't you the freshman
00:02:00 Sophomore.
00:02:04 Bobby, you can't expect us
00:02:08 when there's nothing written
00:02:10 Look, Clara, l'm the best writer you've got.
00:02:15 You've never finished an article.
00:02:20 Well, then, do you want to go
00:02:22 No.
00:02:24 Clara Diaz, editor in chief
00:02:28 All I wanted was a taste
00:02:36 Friedrich Nietzsche said,
00:02:38 "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"
00:02:40 But 10 buck says
00:02:44 l can't talk right now, Clara.
00:02:46 Look, l feel really bad about what happened.
00:02:48 l know you're going
00:02:50 and l have an assignment for you.
00:02:52 Take you to homecoming?
00:02:55 - You know what Tad's short for, right?
00:02:58 No. Vagina.
00:03:01 Look it up.
00:03:02 l want you to write a story
00:03:08 - Really?
00:03:10 Just get it on paper this time, okay?
00:03:13 Okay.
00:03:16 Finally, my big break
00:03:20 to get into the Northwestern
00:03:23 Instead of delivering papers this summer,
00:03:28 Give me a piece of loose leaf.
00:03:32 Come on, give me a piece of loose leaf.
00:03:37 Give me a pen.
00:03:39 What happened to the last pen l gave you?
00:03:41 Give me a pen, Funke. Give me a pen.
00:03:43 Just take it.
00:03:54 Everybody paid attention when
00:03:59 She was the national merit scholar,
00:04:00 the varsity soccer captain,
00:04:06 I'd interview her for the story,
00:04:19 What?
00:04:22 l'm fine. How are you?
00:04:31 The president was a busy man,
00:04:34 and he was about to give me
00:04:39 Could you please state your name,
00:04:43 Paul Moore, l'm a senior.
00:04:46 l'm not going to give you my Soc.
00:04:48 Aren't you the freshman
00:04:52 Sophomore.
00:04:53 As president, how would you say
00:04:55 the recent drop in ACT and SAT scores?
00:05:00 Well, what would you have me do about it?
00:05:05 Seriously, you've seen me on the boards.
00:05:10 And that's a Paul Moore promise.
00:05:15 To Paul Moore.
00:05:35 After 30 minutes in the shower,
00:05:39 Paul was all length and no depth
00:05:43 He didn't give you a whole lot?
00:05:46 Look at the guy. People love him.
00:05:47 He's like fucking JFK, he's smart,
00:05:50 he's a tenacious athlete.
00:05:52 l'm sorry, Tad. l didn't realize
00:05:56 Sad.
00:05:58 Ongatumamwe with the rebound!
00:06:02 Come on! Call that!
00:06:04 That's a timeout, Friars
00:06:05 Come on, bring it in, bring it in. Let's go.
00:06:08 What's going on out there, guys?
00:06:10 You guys look like a dump
00:06:13 - What's the matter, Pauley?
00:06:16 You got to feel it, son.
00:06:19 You understand, son?
00:06:24 Pauley! Ball game!
00:06:26 No one understands why you got
00:06:29 l'm sure there's a lot
00:06:32 Yeah? Well, l understand art when l see it.
00:06:49 - On a road trip?
00:06:51 Marlon Piazza,
00:06:54 Doing a piece on Paul Moore.
00:06:55 Piss off, dork.
00:07:02 Those gentle giants were the pillars
00:07:06 Marlon Piazza, vice-president
00:07:10 Matt Mullen, head hall monitor
00:07:13 Marty Mullen, class secretary
00:07:24 Oh, God! Oh, God, no!
00:07:27 - l think l heard a pop!
00:07:28 - Can we give Mr. Moore some room, please?
00:07:30 You all right, Paul?
00:07:32 - Should we get him up?
00:07:35 Pack it up. Pack it up!
00:07:38 The basketball game
00:07:41 Like Nixon's men at Watergate,
00:08:06 What kind of effing a-hole would do
00:08:09 l don't know, sir. Should l call the police?
00:08:12 No. Bring me the list.
00:08:16 Whenever trouble came to St Donovan's,
00:08:18 the principal rounded up
00:08:21 But that dark morning,
00:08:24 Bobby Funke!
00:08:25 Actually, it's pronounced "Funke."
00:08:27 Principal's office, now.
00:08:32 - Always feel nice in here.
00:08:37 Who is this guy? What's his name?
00:08:40 Bobby Funke.
00:08:42 - Frankie.
00:08:44 Looks like a little gentleman.
00:08:46 - He does. Look at him.
00:08:50 Funke.
00:08:51 Don't look at me.
00:08:53 What happened to your face, man?
00:08:55 Look at it. lt's like you have
00:08:59 Got a culo
00:09:00 Did you ever get a man on your back?
00:09:05 Breathing hard. Riding you, like a horse.
00:09:11 No?
00:09:29 l assume you all know why you're here.
00:09:32 Let me guess.
00:09:34 You finally want to start that boy-band
00:09:37 Landis, do l come down to the strip club
00:09:39 and knock the dick out of your mouth?
00:09:41 Against the wall. You're late.
00:09:46 Actually, l'm not entirely certain
00:09:53 Really? lt's fascinating.
00:09:58 This is why you're here! This!
00:10:01 That's sick.
00:10:02 You've got a gum problem
00:10:04 that's rapidly turning into
00:10:06 That's why you're here!
00:10:11 l don't like gum.
00:10:14 l don't like your snooping around.
00:10:17 You are all filth.
00:10:20 Your parents have obviously spoiled you
00:10:26 a little too much.
00:10:29 Now, one of you little vermin
00:10:32 broke into this office
00:10:37 Of this l am certain.
00:10:41 l beg you, l beseech you,
00:10:46 Because l will have the pleasure
00:10:49 much the same way that l tracked down
00:10:54 two klicks east of the Tigris,
00:11:01 Mr. Cipriato?
00:11:03 Do you know what the Arabic word
00:11:07 - No.
00:11:10 "Don't shoot!"
00:11:14 May want to remember that.
00:11:16 Dismissed!
00:11:42 Hey, Francesca.
00:11:45 Hey, Funke.
00:11:55 So, what are you doing in the men's room?
00:12:01 Well, l thought l might find a man in here.
00:12:14 l'm just screwing with you.
00:12:17 l just need your help.
00:12:20 With what?
00:12:21 Whoever stole the SATs.
00:12:27 l aced that thing, l know it.
00:12:32 Do you know what "mastication" means?
00:12:35 - No.
00:12:39 lt was perfect. l need you to find those tests.
00:12:46 Why me?
00:12:49 l don't know,
00:12:52 This stuff's right up your alley.
00:13:02 So do you have any idea
00:13:06 We took the SATs?
00:13:08 l didn't. l didn't.
00:13:11 Did you take them?
00:13:12 No, l didn't take them.
00:13:15 That's what all the commotion was about.
00:13:20 Okay, where were you last night?
00:13:27 That's where l was last night.
00:13:57 Hey, Funke. Funke, want a gumball?
00:14:01 lt's good. lt's soft. lt's sweet.
00:14:04 l'm not falling for the gumball trick, Cipriato,
00:14:05 so you can put your ballbag
00:14:09 What's it like sucking on
00:14:12 What's it like stealing the SATs?
00:14:14 l asked you first.
00:14:19 - Where were you that night?
00:14:21 l'm writing your biography.
00:14:23 Fine, let me copy off you
00:14:27 Fine.
00:14:29 l was at the Park Arms with my nana,
00:14:34 l got 30 fucking geriatrics
00:14:38 l'm touched, Cipriato.
00:14:41 Not a word, Funke.
00:14:48 After tailing Landis, I discovered
00:14:56 She opened up, once I promised
00:15:01 l don't know who took them, Nancy Drew,
00:15:05 l was out in the parking lot last night
00:15:08 bounce around in Kirkpatrick's office.
00:15:11 What were you doing in the parking lot?
00:15:13 l was probably getting fingered
00:15:18 Okay. Thanks, Landis.
00:15:23 Long time no see, Rocky.
00:15:24 Weekends and holidays, man.
00:15:26 - Thanks.
00:15:28 No. You?
00:15:30 l wish. Those tests are the tool
00:15:33 Back to your cage, butt-boy.
00:15:38 Last night? No, man.
00:15:43 spent the night in holding.
00:15:47 l was fucked up.
00:15:50 That's some alibi.
00:15:52 Fuck it, fuck it. Hold this.
00:16:07 None of these bad apples
00:16:09 Their alibis were like Dutch ovens
00:16:14 Maybe I was looking at it all wrong
00:16:19 What scares you, Funke?
00:16:21 You know what scares me? lnjustice.
00:16:24 You know why? Because it's everywhere.
00:16:27 You think l don't see Cipriato
00:16:31 He's a dead man. l'll deal with him.
00:16:36 But the thing about fighting injustice
00:16:41 And my battle right now is to find out
00:16:47 Now, l don't know your involvement
00:16:53 but l'm watching you.
00:16:56 l got both eyes open and they're on you.
00:17:00 - You read me?
00:17:02 You bleed, Funke. We all bleed.
00:17:05 Thank you, sir.
00:17:10 Tad, am l going to get my story
00:17:14 Get off my fucking back, Clara!
00:17:16 Nobody gives two shits about girls' bowling.
00:17:19 l give two shits, okay?
00:17:21 How many more shits
00:17:23 And Bobby?
00:17:27 Yeah?
00:17:29 Where's my story on Paul Moore?
00:17:35 Paul was a good kid
00:17:39 Maybe my puff piece was no pastry
00:17:41 lt's on its way.
00:17:43 So how long...
00:17:46 So how did Paul's knee look that night?
00:17:51 Okay. Why?
00:17:53 Well, because, Nurse Platt, Paul injured it.
00:18:00 l thought he had diarrhea.
00:18:02 But he was limping,
00:18:09 Yeah.
00:18:12 Okay.
00:18:14 So were you... Were you here with him
00:18:19 Yeah.
00:18:20 Well, except l got hungry, and Paul
00:18:25 His treat.
00:18:26 So, l went across the street and got a gyro
00:18:32 Have you ever been there? lt's so good.
00:18:36 Do you mean to tell me
00:18:39 l mean, so good.
00:18:45 How long did you leave Paul
00:18:51 Hey, D.
00:18:53 When l go get Greek food,
00:18:57 About 20 minutes. You know, more or less.
00:19:01 Hey, what's up, Frankie?
00:19:04 Look, just get me the sandwich.
00:19:06 Yeah, l want a foot-long
00:19:09 That's right. Yeah. l got one and l want one.
00:19:13 Yeah, see that's a double-entendre.
00:19:15 Yeah. That's right.
00:19:18 l got to go. l got to go.
00:19:23 All right, so where were we?
00:19:25 Paul Moore's college prospects.
00:19:27 You know, grades have never been
00:19:30 But, you know, if he wants to go lvy,
00:19:32 Believe me,
00:19:35 That's PMW. That is the Paul Moore way.
00:19:38 P-Moore! P-Moore!
00:19:41 The coach gave me Paul's motive
00:19:45 My gut said I had my guy
00:19:47 But on the way home, I realized I needed
00:19:54 I also needed to get my license
00:19:56 Lately me and the DMV
00:19:59 And when parking along a curb
00:20:02 we turn our wheels to the... Nope.
00:20:04 And when there's a yellow light,
00:20:09 Nope.
00:20:11 And when we come to an object
00:20:20 Nope.
00:20:23 I was looking for corroboration on my story
00:20:25 Woodward and Bernstein
00:20:28 I needed mine
00:20:32 She sounded hesitant on the phone,
00:20:39 Hey, Chrissy?
00:20:43 l'm a friend of your brother Paul.
00:20:48 No. No, you're not.
00:20:50 How do you know?
00:20:54 Okay.
00:20:56 Well, has Paul ever taken you
00:21:00 You're a high-schooler
00:21:03 Why don't you have a car?
00:21:06 That's irrelevant, Chrissy.
00:21:11 l want a unicorn.
00:21:15 Neat.
00:21:16 You know, when l was your age,
00:21:19 Giraffes suck. Get me a unicorn,
00:21:23 and l'll tell you so many secrets about Paul.
00:21:29 Here's the thing, Chrissy,
00:21:34 A stuffed-animal unicorn, doofus!
00:21:50 Chrissy Moore was one unicorn well spent
00:21:54 After she filled in the blanks,
00:21:59 But I still had no solid proof
00:22:02 Were my hunches enough
00:22:08 Fuck it Woodward and Bernstein
00:22:13 Hey, l won't tell you again, Ongatumamwe!
00:22:16 This is P-Moore's shampoo!
00:22:18 l've got enough clout around here
00:22:26 You fellows here for the cockfight?
00:22:45 This story's going to start, like,
00:22:50 Thanks, man. l like your dreads.
00:23:04 Thanks.
00:23:09 l didn't do anything. l didn't do anything.
00:23:13 This is crazy. l didn't do anything.
00:23:16 Hey, l'm the president.
00:23:20 l'm Paul Moore.
00:23:22 l didn't do any... l didn't do anything.
00:23:24 lt's all right. l didn't do anything.
00:23:27 - Open it up.
00:23:29 Open it up.
00:23:37 l don't... l don't know where those...
00:23:38 l don't know what those are.
00:23:41 l don't...
00:23:44 l don't know how those got...
00:23:45 Let's go.
00:23:47 Come on, Paul. Don't fight it.
00:23:49 This is crazy. l'm a patsy! l'm a patsy!
00:23:56 "But in the end Paul Moore kept his promise.
00:23:59 "He did whatever it took to get the job done.
00:24:01 "Even the unthinkable.
00:24:07 The name's Bobby Funke.
00:24:10 l write for the paper.
00:24:19 So l just want everyone to know
00:24:23 to the Northwestern people
00:24:42 l wanted to thank you for finding the SATs.
00:24:45 And for showing me
00:24:49 See, the thing is, l seem to have lost
00:24:53 and l wanted to know if you'd go with me.
00:24:55 You want to go to homecoming with me?
00:24:57 Well, not like "go" go.
00:24:58 - l mean, not like for real.
00:25:00 lt's just everyone already has a date.
00:25:02 - Right.
00:25:03 and maybe that wrestler
00:25:06 So yeah...
00:25:08 The only person l can go with is you.
00:25:12 l still don't see why you wanna go with me.
00:25:16 Yeah, why not? l mean,
00:25:18 Wolf Blitzer's like a TV reporter.
00:25:24 You already have a date?
00:25:26 What? No. l just...
00:25:29 Great. Then you can pick me up at 8:00.
00:25:32 And no wrist corsages.
00:25:36 l don't mind a little prick
00:25:41 St. Donovan's, good morning.
00:25:45 As you know, there's been
00:25:48 and your new president,
00:25:50 - Marlon Paizza, is gonna say a few words...
00:25:53 - What?
00:25:56 -What's that? Italian?
00:25:58 Marlon Piazza is going to say
00:26:02 You're on the air. No effing around, huh?
00:26:06 Thank you, sir. Fellow students,
00:26:10 this has been a difficult time for all of us.
00:26:14 But do not lose faith in this institution,
00:26:16 because from great tragedy
00:26:21 Let me be the first to say
00:26:33 lt's open.
00:26:50 Hey, Marlon.
00:27:12 So is it true that she got
00:27:16 Yeah, her freshman year.
00:27:23 Hey, Funke. You're good.
00:27:28 lt's a nice place you got here.
00:27:30 Have a good look while you can.
00:27:47 l guess that l should congratulate you
00:27:51 lsn't it funny how someone can be
00:27:54 and then head of the school the next?
00:27:56 Yeah. lt's like how someone
00:28:00 and then go to homecoming with
00:28:04 She's, like, your half-sister, right?
00:28:05 Step-sister.
00:28:09 Hey, Funke.
00:28:11 Hey, Francesca.
00:28:16 Wow, you look awesome.
00:28:20 Thanks.
00:28:22 You look pretty good yourself.
00:28:24 Like your shoes.
00:28:26 She doesn't have to go
00:28:32 ls your car out front?
00:28:34 Well, it's such a nice night,
00:29:03 Sorry about that. l just can't seem
00:29:08 Yeah. l know what you mean.
00:29:12 You still want that dance?
00:29:17 Quantum physics is bullshit!
00:29:20 Yeah. You don't know
00:29:23 because, you know, stuff goes in
00:29:28 but nothing comes out.
00:29:31 Just like Laura Hoffner's box.
00:29:58 You think l'm a bitch, don't you?
00:30:02 l mean, you can be honest.
00:30:04 l'm just curious. Do you think l'm a bitch?
00:30:13 - Kind of.
00:30:15 Well, l mean, no.
00:30:19 l don't know. Now, l think that maybe
00:30:27 Nobody's misunderstood.
00:30:29 That's just what people say
00:30:35 lf you think l'm a bitch,
00:30:41 But then l guess you're going to have
00:30:42 with the fact
00:30:47 Well, how do you feel
00:30:50 l'll let you know when l see one.
00:31:06 Great. You know, l better go get Marlon
00:31:13 Thanks for the dance, Funke.
00:31:39 Dude, l think that chick just winked at me.
00:31:44 She's not bad.
00:31:46 Yeah, for a pirate.
00:31:48 l'm going to go spit in the punch.
00:31:53 Hey, you light on your feet, Funke.
00:31:58 - Thanks.
00:31:59 you having a problem out there.
00:32:01 - l do? What?
00:32:04 Yeah, that close to a girl like her,
00:32:08 l didn't realize it was so obvious.
00:32:10 What you're gonna wanna do,
00:32:13 into the side of your boxer shorts,
00:32:17 That way you can contain it.
00:32:19 lt's like getting a stiff rod
00:32:22 A shit boner.
00:32:23 Yeah. Then you got to jam it into the bowl
00:32:26 But you don't want to dunk it.
00:32:30 But you also don't want to
00:32:33 lt's a no-win situation.
00:32:39 At ease, gentlemen. Erections or otherwise.
00:32:43 l remember similar conversations
00:32:47 when we were tracking the towel-heads
00:32:52 Pitch-black little spider holes
00:32:56 Like the Charlotte, the web.
00:33:00 Do you understand what he's saying?
00:33:04 Fear, Mr. Delacruz.
00:33:09 Fear is the middle name of war,
00:33:12 l learned that in the Storm.
00:33:14 What is the Storm, sir?
00:33:18 Two hundred and thirteen days in country.
00:33:23 The sound of mortar fire day and night
00:33:28 The occasional dog exploding.
00:33:32 But l used to lead men.
00:33:34 Men that reminded me of you, Mr. Funke.
00:33:38 On your feet, son.
00:33:44 l want to thank you for your help
00:33:47 Yeah, don't worry about it.
00:33:50 - l'm sorry for being such a jerk-off.
00:33:54 lf l ever catch you chewing that in class,
00:33:59 - You read me?
00:34:02 Good. Go out there and have a good time.
00:34:21 How's it feel?
00:34:23 Like l just got punched in the mouth.
00:34:25 My life is over now, dick!
00:34:29 Then where were you
00:34:32 Who the hell do you think you are?
00:34:36 You really think l'd chance
00:34:40 l'd already gotten into Cornell.
00:34:42 Well, then why did you take
00:34:45 l just wanted to see if l could do better.
00:34:48 Man, you wouldn't know the truth
00:35:00 Hello, Cornell Goodbye, motive
00:35:04 I still thought Paul was an asshole,
00:35:05 but maybe he wasn't the kind of asshole
00:35:09 That sting wasn't my mouth
00:35:17 Well done, Bobby.
00:35:24 Wait, one more thing.
00:35:25 Some grad student by the name of
00:35:28 to fact-check the article.
00:35:29 lt's just a formality.
00:35:31 You're on your way.
00:35:37 Sure I was on my way To the gallows
00:35:40 If I didn't set the story straight
00:35:42 before the fact-checker
00:35:44 Northwestern would go south
00:35:46 And then I'd be blacklisted
00:35:48 and college journalism program
00:35:54 In-school suspension
00:35:55 Cruel and unusual punishment
00:36:00 Rocky was on permanent lockdown
00:36:02 for doing a custom paint job
00:36:19 l'm going to need five minutes with Moore.
00:36:23 You got three.
00:36:34 Aren't you supposed to be in homeroom?
00:36:37 Maybe l got to thinking.
00:36:39 Maybe you should have done that sooner.
00:36:48 Where were you that night?
00:36:50 You think it's that easy?
00:36:51 You think l can just tell you where l was
00:36:55 l mean, take a look around you, Funke!
00:36:57 l'm screwed now no matter what l say.
00:36:59 So then just tell me the truth.
00:37:07 lf you didn't do it, l'm all you got.
00:37:11 And you only got me
00:37:15 Come on.
00:37:21 Last year l did some things
00:37:23 l'm not exactly proud of.
00:37:26 Like what?
00:37:28 Shaving points. Twice last season.
00:37:31 lt was two times too many.
00:37:37 What for?
00:37:39 lt doesn't matter.
00:37:41 When l was approached this year,
00:37:44 We had a shot at State.
00:37:46 l wasn't going to mess that up
00:37:48 So this person who approached you,
00:37:54 l don't know. Maybe.
00:38:04 Give me his name. What's his name, Moore?
00:38:08 Look, if you don't get cooperative,
00:38:11 You've got to give me his name, now!
00:38:13 You got to start thinking with your head!
00:38:15 You know the amount of power
00:38:17 Everybody wants a piece of me!
00:38:19 All right, time's up, Funke.
00:38:20 You're getting the animals all riled up.
00:38:24 What's his name, Moore?
00:38:27 Look, l said time's up.
00:38:29 - Give me his name.
00:38:31 - What's his name?
00:38:33 Where do l find him? Moore!
00:38:43 Bobby Funke,
00:38:49 - Hello?
00:38:51 Hey, yeah.
00:38:53 No, it's not This is Ben Striedel,
00:38:57 I'm fact-checking your story here, chief
00:38:59 It's not bad Not exactly good, either
00:39:01 Excuse me?
00:39:02 So we're going to need
00:39:04 Transcriptions of your interviews
00:39:05 A bibliography, MLA style match
00:39:08 Your notes Pretty much anything
00:39:10 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure.
00:39:12 l'm just going to need some time
00:39:15 So can l get your number or something?
00:39:17 No
00:39:19 Wait! What? Hello?
00:39:30 I had to find Freddy Bismark
00:39:32 And there was one place
00:39:34 even the most elusive characters
00:39:36 lt's freaky, isn't it?
00:39:38 And apparently, they just got results
00:39:42 Some of our best and brightest bombed it.
00:39:45 Really?
00:39:47 You see Shamus Finnle over there?
00:39:50 - His teeth are chattering.
00:39:54 Really? l didn't know
00:39:57 For a reporter, you're really out of the loop.
00:40:00 Half the school is taking Prylert right now,
00:40:02 or Axitol or Ripenol, maybe Faldox.
00:40:05 All just nice words for speed.
00:40:08 lf a kid needs a study aid,
00:40:10 Shamus Finnle.
00:40:12 Supply and demand, son.
00:40:16 I found Freddy Bismark
00:40:17 where all high-school graduates
00:40:22 They say a picture is worth 1,000 words,
00:40:25 but his senior quote
00:40:28 "Dolla dolla bills, y'all!"
00:40:30 You're not supposed to be looking at that.
00:40:32 lt's called study hall
00:40:36 What are you, a cop?
00:41:26 l'm looking for the business.
00:41:37 And no, no, you cannot pay me back
00:41:41 l need cash. This is a business l'm running.
00:41:43 l know it's your bar mitzvah money,
00:41:46 You lost the bet.
00:41:50 Yes.
00:41:51 l will take... Yes, l'll a check!
00:41:53 But if it bounces, l'm coming after you.
00:41:56 This is real stuff. You owe me 20 bucks!
00:42:03 l'm sorry, we're closed for the semester.
00:42:06 l'm here about Paul Moore.
00:42:09 Suck it!
00:42:11 Let me explain something to you.
00:42:12 l don't know thing one about Paul Moore.
00:42:15 His name means nothing to me.
00:42:18 l have kids on over half the teams
00:42:21 And those pill poppers
00:42:25 And if l had to go out
00:42:27 that didn't want to brick a lay-up for me,
00:42:29 l wouldn't have time
00:42:32 And as you can see,
00:42:36 l mean, look around.
00:42:40 That's the first chapel ever.
00:42:43 So what was the money for?
00:42:44 Oh, my God!
00:42:46 l don't know. He was having girl problems!
00:42:49 What's that supposed to mean?
00:42:50 He was having problems with girls. All right?
00:42:53 Come on, for a fellow Friar.
00:42:55 No! Not for a fellow Friar.
00:42:58 Okay. lt was some chick from McKinley.
00:43:01 Now, l'll see you, little man.
00:43:04 Don't hurt yourselves.
00:43:10 If Freddy Bismark didn't frame Paul,
00:43:16 There's the old wise guy.
00:43:18 Elliot.
00:43:19 Those pubes come in yet?
00:43:21 You still eating your mom's dirty tampons?
00:43:23 Only when I'm hungry
00:43:24 So as l was saying on the phone,
00:43:26 l managed to implicate
00:43:29 and in the process steal his girlfriend.
00:43:32 - So what's the problem?
00:43:35 l'm not so sure the guy did it anymore.
00:43:38 Have you ever seen this guy around?
00:43:41 Yeah, that's Valerie's boyfriend.
00:43:45 The plot thickens, Elliot.
00:43:47 l get it, peach fuzz.
00:43:49 You think maybe l got tired
00:43:53 Thought l'd teach him a lesson?
00:43:56 What do you mean?
00:43:57 Paul and l had something real, okay?
00:44:02 So what was the money for, then?
00:44:06 That's got nothing to do with anything.
00:44:07 Look, Valerie,
00:44:11 if Paul's innocent,
00:44:21 Okay.
00:44:23 Ready for the after-school special
00:44:26 l owed money to some unpleasant people.
00:44:30 They were ready to collect on me
00:44:33 Paul wouldn't stand for it.
00:44:38 Paul has two off nights.
00:44:40 My debt goes away.
00:44:42 Paul threw two games for you.
00:44:46 He would've thrown the entire season
00:44:52 Valerie was another dead end
00:44:54 If Paul was keeping her a secret,
00:44:56 I wondered
00:45:17 I know that some of you kids know
00:45:23 And you know why? I fought for you kids,
00:45:25 and I fought for this country
00:45:27 For St Donovan's!
00:45:30 It's no joke!
00:45:33 Sometimes, I don't know,
00:45:35 but I wrote this song last night
00:45:38 If you want, you can sing it,
00:45:41 Come on, kids, sing it with me!
00:45:49 What's going on?
00:45:51 Kirkpatrick's on some school-spirit rampage.
00:45:54 He canceled a. m. classes
00:45:58 Merci, Kirkpatrick.
00:46:08 You can sing if you want
00:46:31 Moore.
00:46:44 And on that note, St Donovan's
00:46:48 Marlon Piazza
00:47:04 For far too long
00:47:07 Today let us stand together
00:47:14 Let us create a better tomorrow
00:47:18 As I stand here today

00:47:45 Marlon, can you hear me?
00:47:47 lt's a paintball, you pussy!
00:47:56 This way! This way, children!
00:48:00 l'm hit! l'm hit!
00:48:13 Moore!
00:48:38 l'm going to go to the vending machine
00:48:41 Do you want anything from downstairs?
00:48:44 How about a bandage?
00:48:50 Forget it.
00:49:07 Nurse Platt's phone.
00:49:08 Just got word your boy shot some kids
00:49:10 How does that sit with the facts

00:49:29 Turned out he fabricated the whole story
00:49:32 They kicked him out, of course
00:49:35 Last I heard he was working
00:49:37 for carpal tunnel syndrome
00:49:39 Your story's thin, kid

00:49:43 I want your notes, stat
00:49:52 Hey.
00:49:55 There's something that l need to tell you.
00:49:58 Not before l get to say thank you.
00:50:02 For what?
00:50:03 For saving my life out there.
00:50:07 lt was just a paintball gun.
00:50:10 Yeah, but you didn't know that, did you?
00:50:12 Look, Francesca, as an ethical journalist
00:50:15 and a man who's dedicated to the truth,
00:50:19 l think you should know
00:50:29 He's not my boyfriend.
00:50:33 Now what did you want to tell me?
00:50:48 That was nice shooting out there, Mr. Moore.
00:50:51 Another three inches to the left
00:50:55 You got this all wrong.
00:51:01 Anything else?
00:51:03 Yeah. This place sucks!
00:51:07 You'll be sucking soon enough, Mr. Moore.
00:51:17 They locked Paul away at some
00:51:21 My story put him there
00:51:30 l'll tell you whatever you want to know.
00:51:56 Meds, three times a day.

00:52:21 Who set you up? Come on, Paul.
00:52:26 Are you here to take me home?
00:52:32 After three hours,
00:52:35 was a sinking feeling in my stomach
00:52:38 All right, Mitch, we're looking for weapons,
00:52:42 Knives, guns. But it's not always obvious.
00:52:47 Are you kidding me?
00:52:49 Raise your arms, please. With the women,
00:52:53 The backs of the hands, Mitch.
00:52:55 Last rule. Most important rule.

00:52:59 Do not fuck the students,
00:53:04 The scene of the crime

00:53:10 But Paul was more precise
00:53:12 Every shot counted But for what?
00:53:15 Francesca? That's easy She broke his heart
00:53:18 Me? I broke the story
00:53:20 Kirkpatrick? Mercy killing
00:53:22 But what about Alex Schneider,
00:53:25 What about Marlon and the Mullens?

01:05:11 Put your foot on that brake. Come on!
01:05:15 Put your foot on the brake!
01:05:23 Four pharmacies
01:05:27 Alex Schneider and the Mullens
01:05:29 So l guess l'll see you next month.
01:05:32 - Get the fuck out.
01:05:37 My driver's test
01:05:40 Fortunately, I knew just the people
01:05:43 This is going to cost you, you know?
01:05:45 What's going on, Landis?
01:05:47 You're not supposed to do that
01:05:53 Can't you see the fire, lamb chop?
01:05:57 lt's in my heart.
01:06:00 And it's burning for you.
01:06:05 Where'd you get all those keys?
01:06:07 - l'm sleeping with the janitor.
01:06:13 Later, Funke.
01:06:29 I didn't know what I was looking for exactly
01:06:32 But so far,
01:06:37 The student council
01:07:20 See, man, cut it, cut it. Look...
01:07:22 - What's up?
01:07:25 because l'm not feeling it
01:07:28 And make sure it's cold.
01:07:32 Yo, yo, yo. Get me some antacid, too,
01:07:34 l got mad indigestion, bro.
01:07:38 - Let's do this shit.
01:07:58 You guys sound really good in there.
01:08:00 Jesus, Funke!
01:08:03 Just a little light reading.
01:08:06 Student council treasury ledger.
01:08:09 Money disappears and then reappears.
01:08:14 l don't know
01:08:16 Sure you do, Marty.
01:08:17 But maybe it's time for you to come clean.
01:08:21 Become your own man.
01:08:22 You know what, Funke? You're right.
01:08:35 Try not to get blood on the carpet.
01:09:00 Francesca, hey, pick up.
01:09:04 Did he ever mention anything about
01:09:06 Schneider or the Mullens
01:09:09 Anyway, l'll try you again later.
01:09:11 Okay. l love you.
01:09:16 Oh, Gertrude
01:09:18 My anaconda is sore and it needs a massage
01:09:23 I love you
01:09:36 Hey, what's going on?
01:09:39 Didn't you hear?
01:09:42 No.
01:09:46 Here, here, breathe that in, Funke.
01:09:51 The big news was that everyone
01:09:55 The stolen tests had been nullified
01:09:59 But I had my own suspicions to follow
01:10:01 I needed to stay on their tail
01:10:03 I needed evidence I needed photos
01:10:06 Hey, stinky.
01:10:08 l think you need to come home with me.
01:10:14 You know, l'm concerned about the lack
01:10:18 Yeah? You want to be my daddy?
01:10:36 ls that a good look?
01:10:38 You're like a cool dinosaur.
01:10:56 l can't see anything right now.
01:10:58 l'm totally blind.
01:11:02 Paul, the Northwestern program
01:11:06 Suddenly none of it seemed to matter
01:11:08 The hole in my side, the one
01:11:14 Guess that meant I was happy
01:11:29 You shouldn't have done that.
01:11:32 "Funke, frosh,
01:11:34 "for a bid at Fran's hand"
01:11:35 Son of a bitch!
01:11:37 One thing was clear,
01:11:43 - What the hell is this!
01:11:46 There's no way that story checks out!
01:11:47 Schneider has been cooking the books!
01:11:50 What does that have to do with Paul Moore?
01:11:52 Nothing, but maybe Moore had nothing to do
01:11:54 - in the first place.
01:11:56 l really believed in you.
01:11:58 And l thought that you were
01:12:00 that didn't need to be popular.
01:12:05 l'm recommending that Tad
01:12:10 What?
01:12:12 l'm late for AP English.
01:12:27 Smooth move, Doctor Love.
01:12:31 You actually think
01:12:33 the SATs just so l could go out
01:12:35 l would.
01:12:38 Francesca and l are in love, Cipriato.
01:12:40 Maybe that's something
01:12:45 Asshole!
01:12:47 Francesca. Francesca, it's not true.
01:12:49 Goltz is full of shit!
01:12:50 Did Paul steal them or not?
01:12:53 Well, l don't think so, but that's not...
01:12:55 l trusted you, Funke.
01:12:56 This is bigger than me and you. Okay?
01:12:58 This is bigger than Paul Moore. This is...
01:13:02 Francesca.
01:13:04 Francesca, look,
01:13:13 Can l just get the hall pass?
01:13:16 The hall pass.
01:13:21 l got to talk to some people.
01:13:30 Could l just get the hall pass, please?
01:13:31 No, sit down.
01:13:34 - Please, l need...
01:13:54 l don't have it.
01:13:58 Porque no 'Cause l'm the only one
01:14:00 who didn't copy it off Steve!
01:14:09 Yeah, well, no me gusta any of this bullshit!
01:14:26 Thank God you got me out of there.
01:14:28 You wouldn't believe some of the stuff
01:14:31 l don't even know where to start.
01:14:33 Point shaving, theft, embezzling.
01:14:35 A pharmaceutical drug ring.
01:14:37 - ls that gum in your mouth?
01:14:39 - Half the school...
01:14:44 That's... That's irrelevant.
01:14:46 l think there's something
01:14:48 You seem to be a little foggy
01:14:51 From what l understand, you've made
01:14:55 You seem to think
01:14:57 and that l am some kind of clown.
01:15:00 l'm not an effing clown.
01:15:02 And l'm not here to bring joy
01:15:05 and love and light and laughter
01:15:10 Now l'm going to ask you one more time.
01:15:14 And this time l expect an answer.
01:15:17 ls
01:15:20 that
01:15:22 gum
01:15:24 in your mouth?
01:15:30 ls this gum in my mouth?
01:15:34 ls this gum in my mouth?
01:15:39 lt's gum. lt's gum! lt's gum! lt's gum!

01:15:49 My locker, filled to the brim with gum!
01:15:54 Now l am trying to talk to you
01:15:56 about matters
01:15:58 and you're talking to me about gum?
01:16:26 Bathroom breaks, you get one.
01:16:28 Bring your work in first thing in the morning,
01:16:30 which means you can get it done
01:16:32 Which is nice because
01:16:34 to pretty much do whatever.
01:16:36 You get 15 minutes in the yard,
01:16:40 Mind and body, Funke, mind and body.
01:16:50 What should l do about Francesca?
01:16:52 Get some good porn and pray that she calls.
01:17:17 - Hello?
01:17:20 You have got to be kidding me.
01:17:21 I've got two stories on my desk
01:17:23 and one contradicts
01:17:25 Did you really think that you could
01:17:28 Did you?
01:17:30 I have a 175 IQ
01:17:34 You don't understand, Striedel.
01:17:36 The school treasurer is moving
01:17:39 That's rich Now you're going to
01:17:43 Is the class secretary next?
01:17:44 What's the money got to do
01:17:46 Nothing.

01:17:51 That's Investigative Journalism 101
01:17:54 Follow the money, dipshit

01:18:21 l-3.
01:18:23 lt's a hit! Fuck!
01:18:24 l told you putting it in there was a bad idea.
01:18:26 Really, Stinky Landy?
01:18:29 That's nice. ls it new?
01:18:32 No, it's my mom's.
01:18:34 Well, connect the dots.
01:18:35 l told you not to line up the ships like that.
01:18:37 lt's like Pearl Harbor.
01:18:41 Could you guys please
01:18:45 Sorry, l'm just trying to think.
01:18:47 You can't let Goltz get
01:18:49 That guy is an enormous vagina.
01:19:04 Connect the dots
01:19:06 Connect them, come here
01:19:14 What are you looking at, Funke?
01:19:17 Funke, where you go?
01:19:18 These four walls.
01:19:22 That's it. You can't run.
01:19:31 Hey, hall monitor!
01:20:11 Francesca?
01:20:21 Francesca?
01:20:25 Francesca?
01:20:56 Mathematically, it's a percentage of your life
01:20:58 Four years, 48 months, 1, 461 days
01:21:03 High school is prom, football games,
01:21:06 party at the rich kid's house
01:21:10 But it's really anything but
01:21:13 High school might be
01:21:15 And there's nothing simple about it
01:21:19 High school is ugly, hard and complicated
01:21:21 As complicated as a conspiracy
01:21:26 A conspiracy about to be uncovered
01:21:58 Alex Schneider and the Mullen brothers
01:22:00 had been selling prescription drugs
01:22:04 The Mullens' dad was an orthopedist
01:22:08 When he split with one of them,
01:22:11 and a box of prescription pads
01:22:14 The brothers made due
01:22:19 But the Mullens weren't competent enough
01:22:22 Yo, shit biscuit!
01:22:23 These bottles aren't going to fill themselves.
01:22:27 Initially, the market for
01:22:30 wasn't as ripe as they'd hoped
01:22:32 So like good businessmen,
01:22:37 They sabotaged tests throughout the school,
01:22:39 targeting the students
01:22:43 If you erase enough bubbles,
01:22:47 Supply and demand, son.
01:22:49 Business boomed
01:22:51 So much so that they started
01:22:55 to use as venture capital
01:22:57 P Moore wasn't exactly Alan Greenspan,
01:23:01 but it didn't take
01:23:03 that hundreds of dollars
01:23:07 Paul told Marlon what he'd discovered,
01:23:09 said he was going to put the kibosh
01:23:12 Marlon couldn't have that
01:23:14 Things were too good He had big plans
01:23:22 He needed Paul out of the picture
01:23:45 What's going on, guys?
01:23:46 Funke...
01:23:49 You just don't know when to quit, do you?
01:23:52 Guess not. Gum?
01:23:58 Changing the answers on the SATs
01:24:02 lt's clever, Marlon.
01:24:08 Should make for a great story.
01:24:10 Bad move, Funke.
01:24:21 Okay, here's the real story.
01:24:23 Bobby Funke made a few bad decisions,
01:24:25 lost his girlfriend,
01:24:28 Just another tormented freshman.
01:24:29 l'm a sophomore, dick!
01:24:33 Throw his ass out.
01:24:36 - You won't do it.
01:24:38 These sorts of things happen all the time.
01:24:40 There's a lot of pressure
01:24:43 Throw him out!
01:24:47 Fine, l'll do it myself.
01:24:49 Hey! Let him go!
01:24:54 Put him down! Delicately.
01:24:56 How the hell did they know you were here?
01:24:57 l might have made an announcement.
01:25:16 Funke.
01:25:20 Bob Woodward once said
01:25:23 is never reveal the story
01:25:27 But Woodward wasn't in love
01:25:30 Before I cleared my name with the school,
01:25:36 I had to tell her I'd figured it all out
01:25:45 Turns out, I hadn't
01:26:00 You played me, Francesca
01:26:04 You played Paul
01:26:07 You played the whole damn school.
01:26:11 Look out! Look out! Look out!
01:26:13 l need everybody to file out of this office.
01:26:17 Everybody except you five.
01:26:19 The five of you are in big fucking trouble!
01:26:23 Stay right here, get out of my way!
01:26:28 You'll never understand why l did it.
01:26:34 Nobody's misunderstood, Francesca.
01:26:38 lt's just what people say
01:26:45 Bobby, wait.
01:26:52 Forget it, Funke. lt's high school.
