SEBASTIAN: My name's Sebastian, and I've been following
what's going on with your son.
ANNE: Don't call me anymore.
[ Cellphone keys clicking ]
TODD: What do you like? Give, take?
I just want to make out.
[ Grunts ]
[ Both grunting ]
Eric, he is gay. He tried to kill himself.
Did you ever touch him?
Geez. How could you...?
My head really hurts. Do you have anything?
I have some oxy.
But don't gulp them 'cause they have a kick.
TAYLOR: Is Dr. Graham gonna be back soon?
GRACE: She's probably still speaking right about now.
Hey, what are you doing here, huh?
You little bitch.
[ Gunshot ]
KIKI: There was such an incongruency
of being in the school and hearing gunfire,
just this sound that violates that space...
that it -- it -- it just didn't belong there and made no sense.
The birth of my children would be very significant,
but that event, you know, it impacted me as a father,
a husband, a parent, a teacher, um...
uh, a citizen, uh, a-a-a friend.
I-It changed -- it -- it -- it touched every aspect of my life.
It's very hard to get people to understand
what mass trauma is like.
If you haven't been through it,
Two days ago, a former student
came to our school with a gun
and killed Wes Baxter.
Uh, Wes was a -- he was a fellow classmate.
He was a teammate.
He was a friend.
If we don't love each other --
and I mean really love each other --
this -- this is what happens.
Uh, it's -- it's...
Talking about, you know, uh, love and responsibility
and doing right, I mean, that's -- that's easy.
This is, uh...
What happened here...
Hate and death and guns in schools...
People say this is the new normal.
Is this the normal we want?
It's up to us.
My name is Sheryl Moore,
and I'm the mother of A.J. Betts.
A.J. made a statement that was very poignant.
He said, "Mom, I just can't go to this school anymore
where people are hurting my feelings
and making me cry every day because I'm gay."
And I said, "A.J., do you want me
to pull you out of that school?
Because I'll do it in a heartbeat.
I'll send you to another school
where you feel more comfortable."
And he said...
"No, Mom.
I'm pretty sure it's not okay to be gay anywhere."
And I said, "You know what, buddy?
I don't disagree with you."
[ Sniffles ]
And he said, "I'm just gonna do my time
and be done with my senior year
and graduate and go on to college
where people are more accepting."
And I said, "I think that's a great idea, A.J."
And those were the last words my son said to me
before he took his life.
At the age of 17, I was already independent
because of the impacts of bullying on me at like 8 and 9.
And my parents all this time's wondering, like,
"What's happening in school? What's happening in school?"
These kids are really this vicious.
You hear these stories on the news.
These kids really are this vicious.
And I thought, "Okay, if they're gonna be vicious,
then I'm gonna be vicious back."
[ Door opens ]
[ Door closes ]
How are you?
Are you -- Are things okay in here?
Taylor, I need to know that you're okay.
They keep me separated. I'm okay.
Can you tell me what happened?
I was told I should confront things.
But, um...
that wasn't really working out.
I was...
I got in this space where I wanted to hurt myself,
and then I went to this other space.
Why should I be hurting me? They did this to me.
They did it to you.
That woman did this to you, so...
I...
Um, did you make a list of people that you wanted to hurt?
Yeah. [ Handcuffs rattle ]
And -- And -- And -- And you waited...
for the head of that school to come back.
I'm meeting with the lawyer,
and we're gonna figure out what to do.
What's there to do?
We'll figure it out.
Taylor, listen.
We'll figure out something.
Okay?
[ Knocking on door ]
[ Door opens ]
LILAH: Hey. Curt at work?
Yeah.
Brother here?
He took off.
Want to show you something.
Where'd you get all this money?
I got rid of some things.
I got rid of everything except the car.
What's it for?
It's for us.
I need to get us out of here.
Peter, this family is sick.
Your brother is not well. Your father is not well.
What's the matter with --
I don't want anything to happen to you.
What's wrong with Dad?
He has got problems. He...
He did things to your brother.
He is the reason that Eric is the way he is.
Dad wouldn't do something like that.
He's not going to admit it.
He is never going to say anything, but he is the reason.
Your brother was normal,
and then something happened to him.
Your father happened to him.
I-I can't stay here, I can't be around all of this,
and I can't leave you with him.
[ Sighs ]
Peter, uh...
You know you don't belong here.
You know you don't belong with them.
And you know if you stay here,
nothing's gonna get better.
Peter, you know it.
That is everything I have left.
I can't do anything for your brother,
so, please, let me get us out of here.
And go where?
Wherever you want.
