FunTranscript
00:00:00While climbing this hill, my roommate Sophie suddenly asked to swap bikes.
00:00:05Clara, this bike is killing me. Can we just swap?
00:00:10Beat when. Don't swap.
00:00:12She crashed it yesterday. The frame is cracked.
00:00:15Replacing the frame and custom components alone, we're talking a seven-figure repair bill.
00:00:19She's going to pin it on me.
00:00:20She's on financial aid. Why would she even have access to a bike?
00:00:23Your boyfriend Ryan will be here in a minute.
00:00:24He'll use catching up with the main group as an excuse to force you to swap.
00:00:27Once you swap, he'll testify for Sophie and say you were the one who broke it.
00:00:30My boyfriend of two years helping someone set me up? Not a chance.
00:00:33This has to be some kind of crank. Maybe the club rigged a projector or something.
00:00:36Why haven't you two swapped yet? The main group is way ahead.
00:00:38If we don't move, we're going to get left behind.
00:00:40Clara, swap with Sophie. Now, we need to catch up.
00:00:43He actually showed up. Same exact excuse.
00:00:48If they're going to try to set me up, they should have asked themselves why we share the same last
00:00:51name.
00:00:52I'm not swapping.
00:00:55Just now, that wasn't a hallucination.
00:00:57If she hadn't shown up to warn me, I actually might have swapped.
00:01:00Just out of two years of being roommates with Sophie.
00:01:02Your boyfriend has been hooking up with her for a while.
00:01:04She's pregnant, and she's the one who wrecked the bike.
00:01:07That's why he needs you to take the fall.
00:01:09Clara, seriously? I can barely pedal. Just swap with me.
00:01:12That's my idiot brother Mason's prized possession.
00:01:15Sophie, you really messed with the wrong person this time.
00:01:18There's not another one like it anywhere in the world.
00:01:20She counts every penny at the cafeteria.
00:01:22Clara, seriously? I can barely pedal. Just swap with me.
00:01:25Looking back, her whole story was full of holes.
00:01:29But I'm not taking the blame for her.
00:01:39Another foot, and I would have gone over.
00:01:41Ryan, what is wrong with you?
00:01:43Clara, you throw fits sometimes, fine.
00:01:45But today, this is just selfish.
00:01:48I'm selfish?
00:01:50She's the one who won't stop asking me to swap.
00:01:52I say no once, and suddenly I'm the bad guy?
00:01:54Sophie has terrible stamina.
00:01:56She's pushing herself just to keep up.
00:01:58Can't you cut her some slack?
00:01:59And if the whole group falls behind because of you, can you live with that?
00:02:04You're blaming me?
00:02:06She's the one who can't keep up.
00:02:07Why is that my problem?
00:02:08We're literally in the middle of the pack.
00:02:10There are people behind us.
00:02:12The team leader is back there.
00:02:13So what's the actual rush?
00:02:15Clara, I'm not blaming you.
00:02:17But you know, Sophie's dealing with something right now.
00:02:21Just do it, okay?
00:02:24Dealing with something?
00:02:25I almost went over that edge.
00:02:27When my cramps were bad, he'd wait outside my dorm for days.
00:02:29Chamomile tea, painkillers, the whole thing.
00:02:32For my birthday, he ate instant noodles for a whole month just to afford a surprise for me.
00:02:37Clara, I would do anything for you.
00:02:39He told me I was the only one for him.
00:02:41That he'd do anything for me.
00:02:43But today, I feel like I'm looking at a stranger.
00:02:47Ryan, why don't you swap with her then?
00:02:48And with the whole club here, why does it have to be me specifically?
00:02:51Hear me out.
00:02:52I'll say this once.
00:02:53I am not swatching.
00:02:58Ryan, what are you doing?
00:02:59I'm asking you to swap a bike.
00:03:00Why do you have to make everything a scene?
00:03:03I've never been treated like this in my life.
00:03:05Not even the one guy on campus nobody dares to cross would ever put his hands on me.
00:03:09Ryan, what did you just do?
00:03:19I figured someone would step up after seeing me get hit.
00:03:22Say something, anything.
00:03:23Even a tiny difference in seat height is a problem.
00:03:24Swapping bikes is how accidents happen.
00:03:26The shifting's different too.
00:03:27I don't let anyone touch my bike.
00:03:28Seat height, shifting, brake feel.
00:03:30Every rider has their own setup.
00:03:32Just casually swapping bikes is asking for trouble.
00:03:34Team leader, Clara flat out refuses to swap.
00:03:36Sophie's about to collapse and she doesn't even care.
00:03:38I tried talking to her, useless.
00:03:39She's not thinking about the group at all, just snapping at everyone.
00:03:43Clara, you've been in this club long enough to know better.
00:03:45How do you have zero sense of team?
00:03:47We're out here riding together.
00:03:48Isn't looking out for each other the bare minimum?
00:03:52Yeah, you're usually pretty chill.
00:03:53Why are you being like this when it actually matters?
00:03:56Every rider's different.
00:03:58Swapping mid-ride can be dangerous.
00:03:59I get why Clara doesn't want to.
00:04:06She should be lucky nobody's complaining about riding her beat-up bike.
00:04:09So ungrateful.
00:04:10Ryan, just forget it.
00:04:12I don't want to put Clara in a tough spot.
00:04:13I'll push through.
00:04:14If I pass out on the road, just leave me and keep going.
00:04:17I'm not going to be the one who holds everyone back.
00:04:19Sophie, don't cry.
00:04:20She's swapping that bike today.
00:04:21Like it or not.
00:04:22Exactly.
00:04:23Nobody gets to treat you like that.
00:04:29Clara, you are such a disappointment.
00:04:34I can't believe I ever liked someone like you.
00:04:37Don't swap and don't bother calling yourself my girlfriend.
00:04:40Ryan, that's not fair.
00:04:41Why don't you swap your own carbon frame bike with Sophie?
00:04:44Why is it always on Clara?
00:04:44Clara, so this is what he was building up to.
00:04:47Fine.
00:04:48The stage is already set.
00:04:49I'd be doing them a disservice if I didn't let this play out.
00:04:53If they want to play, I'll play.
00:04:55All the way to the end.
00:04:57Ryan, fine.
00:04:58I'll swap.
00:05:00But I have one condition.
00:05:02We take a photo of the bike first.
00:05:09You want to take a picture for a crappy bike walk?
00:05:12What, you think Sophie's out to get you?
00:05:15That's basically a confession.
00:05:20Seriously?
00:05:21We all know each other.
00:05:23Nobody's going to scam you over a bike.
00:05:25Taking a picture makes sense.
00:05:26What if something was already damaged and nobody noticed?
00:05:28You'd never be able to sort it out after.
00:05:29And even if something breaks, Sophie's not going to make you pay for it.
00:05:35What a circus.
00:05:38Clara, it's just a regular bike.
00:05:39It's not worth anything.
00:05:41If you don't want to do it, just say so.
00:05:43Why do you have to make me feel like a criminal?
00:05:45Demanding a photo makes it sound like I'm handing you a broken bike on purpose.
00:05:55Clara, if you want to stay in this club, swap the bike and move out.
00:05:57You're wasting everyone's time.
00:06:03Are you all really sure you want to do this?
00:06:05Force me to swap this bike right now?
00:06:08And not even let me take a picture first?
00:06:10Drop the act.
00:06:12Stop playing the victim and get on the bike.
00:06:15Fine.
00:06:15Don't say I didn't warn you.
00:06:23It's speeding up.
00:06:24I underestimated Sophie.
00:06:26She didn't just want to pin this on me.
00:06:28She wanted me gone.
00:06:37Clara, you broke it!
00:06:39Do you have any idea?
00:06:40I borrowed this from the one guy on campus nobody dares to cross.
00:06:43This is a limited edition.
00:06:45It's insured for seven figures!
00:06:47Seven figures.
00:06:53Didn't you just call this a regular bike?
00:06:59And if you knew how much this bike was worth, why were you so set on swapping with me?
00:07:05It was fine when I handed it to you!
00:07:07How was I supposed to know you'd wreck it?
00:07:09I just didn't want Clara to feel pressured!
00:07:12That's why I didn't mention the price!
00:07:13And I didn't swap for myself, I did it for the group!
00:07:17But now the bike is totaled and there's no way I can cover this!
00:07:19What am I supposed to do?
00:07:20Clara, what is wrong with you?
00:07:22How do you just trash a bike worth that much?
00:07:24Clara, you did this!
00:07:26You pay for it!
00:07:27Whoever breaks it, pays for it!
00:07:29Isn't that just common sense?
00:07:31Right.
00:07:32Common sense.
00:07:40You all heard that, right?
00:07:43Whoever breaks it, pays for it.
00:07:49Yeah, whoever breaks it, pays for it.
00:07:50Isn't that the whole point?
00:07:52Clara, just pay up.
00:07:53Sophie's been through enough already.
00:07:54Who else could have broken it?
00:07:56Everyone saw it!
00:07:57If you're not going to pay, am I supposed to cover it?
00:08:00A student on financial aid?
00:08:04Clara, who are you calling?
00:08:06Doesn't matter.
00:08:06You can't dodge this no matter who picks up.
00:08:08We'll see.
00:08:16Hold on.
00:08:17That number she's calling?
00:08:19That's Mason Whitmer's number?
00:08:27Look at her screen.
00:08:28The contact name.
00:08:29It says bro.
00:08:32She's calling Mason Whitmer?
00:08:34And his contact name is bro?
00:08:41Clara, nice try.
00:08:42You think saving someone is bro
00:08:44and calling the one guy on campus
00:08:45nobody dares to cross
00:08:46makes him your actual brother?
00:08:50She's got nothing.
00:08:51Clara, Clara.
00:08:52Know your place.
00:08:54Who is Mason Whitmer?
00:08:55The one guy at Blackwood nobody dares to cross.
00:08:57The eldest son of the Whitmore family.
00:08:58He drives a different luxury car every week.
00:09:00The custom components on just one of his road bikes
00:09:02probably cost more than your family makes in years.
00:09:04You really think you can just claim a connection like that?
00:09:06You think you're in any position
00:09:08to call him your brother?
00:09:16Oh my god, I can't.
00:09:18She's literally just stalling.
00:09:22Clara, are you calling Mason to beg?
00:09:25Save your breath.
00:09:27Begging won't get you anywhere.
00:09:28This bike is his baby.
00:09:30You wrecked it.
00:09:31And even if someone vouched for you,
00:09:33he's not letting this go.
00:09:35Clara, drop the act.
00:09:36You're paying for this.
00:09:37End of story.
00:09:39Still no answer?
00:09:41Guess he wants nothing to do with her.
00:09:43Makes sense.
00:09:43That's Mason Whitford,
00:09:44the guy everyone on campus avoids.
00:09:46Why would he pick up for her?
00:09:48You all see that?
00:09:49He's not picking up.
00:09:51Girl really thinks she's somebody.
00:09:53Clara, why put yourself through this?
00:09:56You're out here embarrassing yourself.
00:10:00All right, Clara, stop wasting everyone's time.
00:10:03Nobody's coming.
00:10:11Can't get through?
00:10:12Good.
00:10:12Let's head back to campus and take this to student government.
00:10:19Student government?
00:10:21Exactly.
00:10:21Let the school sort it out.
00:10:23You'll pay every cent you owe.
00:10:24And let me be clear, Clara.
00:10:26This bike is insured for seven figures.
00:10:28You're not getting out of a single cent.
00:10:30Seven figures.
00:10:32She might never pay that off.
00:10:33What can you do?
00:10:34She broke it.
00:10:35Someone's got to pay.
00:10:36It's not like I don't want to help.
00:10:38But Clara, look at yourself.
00:10:40You messed up.
00:10:41Your attitude is terrible.
00:10:43And now this whole thing has blown up.
00:10:44I'm on financial aid.
00:10:46There's really nothing I can do.
00:10:49Still no answer.
00:10:50Must have put his phone on silent again.
00:10:53Bro, you there?
00:10:54Your bike got totaled.
00:10:56And your sister got slapped.
00:11:12Didn't go through.
00:11:13Knew it!
00:11:13Why would Mason ever pick up up for her?
00:11:16She actually thought...
00:11:17So I texted him.
00:11:23You texted him?
00:11:25Mason?
00:11:26Who do you think you are?
00:11:27He wouldn't even pick up and you think he's gonna text back?
00:11:31On my way.
00:11:33Don't move.
00:11:37What?
00:11:38What is this?
00:11:40Oh, nothing.
00:11:41Just my brother.
00:11:42He's on his way.
00:11:48Oh my God!
00:11:49She said Mason is on his way!
00:11:51Did everyone hear that?
00:11:52She said Mason is coming!
00:12:00Wait.
00:12:01You actually know Mason?
00:12:06And where exactly did this Mason of yours come from?
00:12:09Can he even cover a seven-figure bill?
00:12:12Claire, I dated you for two years.
00:12:14You think I don't know your family?
00:12:16Your parents are regular people and you're an only child.
00:12:21You have no connection to Mason.
00:12:24You have no connection to Mason.
00:12:24Stop stalling.
00:12:30We've wasted enough time.
00:12:32Clara, drop it.
00:12:33Admit what you did, pay what you owe, and let's move.
00:12:39Even if you do know someone, who could it be?
00:12:41You've been at Blackthorne for two years and nobody ever knew you had a brother.
00:12:47Then he must have zero presence.
00:12:49Probably tackier than you.
00:12:51Broker than you.
00:12:54And twice as embarrassing.
00:12:57He's probably hitchhiking.
00:12:59Let's give him a few minutes.
00:13:01Wouldn't want him getting lost on the way up.
00:13:04I almost bought it.
00:13:06So embarrassing.
00:13:07Totally busted and still playing games.
00:13:23You done?
00:13:24Still performing?
00:13:26That Mason of yours?
00:13:28Where is he?
00:13:29Should we send someone down to get him?
00:13:31If he passes out from the heat, we'll have to call an ambulance.
00:13:37I'm dead.
00:13:38Clara, who even is this Mason?
00:13:40Where does he work?
00:13:42Can he even afford one wheel on this bike?
00:13:44He's probably selling stuff outside the back gate.
00:13:49Enough, Clara.
00:13:51Keep this up and the club will kick you out.
00:13:53Right now, pay up and apologize.
00:13:59Team leader.
00:14:01Since I joined freshman year, have I ever been late to practice?
00:14:04Have I ever held anyone back in a race?
00:14:06Today, Sophie was the one pushing to swap bikes.
00:14:10Ryan blocked my path and nearly forced me into the ditch.
00:14:13He slapped me.
00:14:14Did you see any of that?
00:14:16Did you ask even once?
00:14:18Mason?
00:14:19Even so, you can't just make up a connection to Mason?
00:14:31Mason!
00:14:32What are you doing here?
00:14:34Perfect timing!
00:14:36Someone broke your bike!
00:14:44Mason!
00:14:46Mason!
00:14:46She broke your bike and won't own up to it.
00:14:53Lower your hand.
00:14:54Don't point at people.
00:14:56Ah!
00:14:58Come on!
00:14:59Come on!
00:15:02Mason!
00:15:03It was Clara!
00:15:04She's the one who broke it!
00:15:05She obviously can't pay for it!
00:15:07It's insured for seven figures!
00:15:09But you have to make her pay!
00:15:10Don't let her walk away from this!
00:15:11Mason, you've got it wrong!
00:15:12Sophie had nothing to do with this!
00:15:14It was Clara!
00:15:15Mason!
00:15:16Sis!
00:15:18What did he just call her?
00:15:20Clara?
00:15:21You're hurt?
00:15:23How did this happen?
00:15:24Who put their hands on her?
00:15:26Does it hurt?
00:15:27I'm taking you to the hospital right now!
00:15:30I don't need the hospital.
00:15:32It's just a surface wound.
00:15:33We're not done here.
00:15:36Sophie!
00:15:37Funny coincidence.
00:15:38That guy at Blackhorn nobody dares to cross?
00:15:41Turns out he's my brother.
00:15:44And you didn't actually borrow this bike, did you?
00:15:53Mason, I crashed on the mountain route.
00:15:56Your bike is here with me.
00:15:58My custom carbon fiber got stolen!
00:16:00I left the spare key on the student government desk!
00:16:03Somebody took it!
00:16:04Just wait till I find out who!
00:16:06Then get over here.
00:16:08Whoever took it is still here.
00:16:09Mason never lends this bike to anyone.
00:16:12You used your cleaning shift to sweep the spare key he left on the student sovereignment desk.
00:16:17You took it out to show off.
00:16:19Wrecked it and needed someone to take the fall.
00:16:21That someone was me.
00:16:23Right?
00:16:24That's a lie!
00:16:25I didn't steal anything!
00:16:27Mason lent me this bike!
00:16:29That's bull.
00:16:30When did I ever lend this bike to anyone?
00:16:32I don't even know who you are!
00:16:35Don't listen to her!
00:16:37They're siblings!
00:16:38Of course they're going to gang up on someone on financial aid!
00:16:41Claire, you can't just throw accusations around.
00:16:44Sophie borrowed that bike.
00:16:45What proof do you have that she stole the key?
00:16:50Exactly!
00:16:50And Clara is the one who broke it!
00:16:52Everyone saw it!
00:16:53You can all testify!
00:16:55Back me up!
00:16:56I wasn't the one on the bike when it went down!
00:17:01Say something!
00:17:02Weren't you just saying Clara couldn't afford to pay for it?
00:17:04Get off me!
00:17:05I didn't see anything.
00:17:11Team leader, back me up!
00:17:13You're always the fair one!
00:17:15This...
00:17:16I...
00:17:17This has nothing to do with me!
00:17:19She just won't quit!
00:17:28You want proof?
00:17:32Fine.
00:17:33I'll give you proof.
00:17:35And I'll make sure you have nothing left to say.
00:17:42Mason's habit.
00:17:44The bike cost a fortune, so we had a hidden action camera built in.
00:17:47Just in case.
00:17:54This bike is insane!
00:17:56Okay, look at the camera!
00:17:57Whoa!
00:17:58Whoa!
00:17:59Whoa!
00:18:00Whoa!
00:18:01Whoa!
00:18:03It cracked last night!
00:18:05The frame was already cracked before any of this!
00:18:07Oh my god!
00:18:09Can't let anyone find out!
00:18:11Can't let anyone find out!
00:18:12I'm so screwed!
00:18:14The bike was already broken.
00:18:16She lied to all of us.
00:18:21Sophie, the frame's already cracked.
00:18:22It's gonna snap.
00:18:23What do we do?
00:18:24Simple.
00:18:25We get Clara to swap bikes.
00:18:26When it snaps, it all falls on her.
00:18:29Everyone there can back it up.
00:18:30She won't be able to deny it.
00:18:35I had you all wrong, Sophie.
00:18:37You're just vicious.
00:18:39And you, Ryan.
00:18:40The two of you teaming up to set Clara up?
00:18:43That's pathetic!
00:18:44You two almost dragged us all into this!
00:18:46What were you thinking?
00:18:47Clara, I'm sorry.
00:18:49We all got played.
00:18:54This is on you!
00:18:56This was your idea from the start!
00:18:58Clara, she played me.
00:18:59I had no idea she stole the key.
00:19:01She's the one who dragged me into all of this!
00:19:10You piece of trash!
00:19:11Now you want to dump everything on me?
00:19:13I'm carrying your baby!
00:19:15You think you can just cut me loose now?
00:19:17Not a chance!
00:19:23Bravo!
00:19:24What a show.
00:19:26Truly an eye-opener.
00:19:27This seven-figure bill?
00:19:29How are you two planning to split it?
00:19:33Seven figures.
00:19:35If we actually have to pay that, my family's done.
00:19:38Ryan!
00:19:39I'm carrying your baby!
00:19:41You can't just walk away!
00:19:43Enough!
00:19:44Who even knows if that kid is mine?
00:19:46You stole the bike and blew everything up,
00:19:48and now you want to use this baby to trap me?
00:19:50I'm telling you, I'm not claiming it!
00:19:52Say that again!
00:19:53Say it!
00:19:53You want to bail on me now?
00:19:55Good luck with that!
00:19:55You're insane!
00:19:56You stole the bike!
00:19:57You wrecked it!
00:19:58What does any of that have to do with me?
00:19:59You were in on the plan, too!
00:20:01You helped me force Clara to swap bikes!
00:20:04Unreal.
00:20:05They've completely lost it.
00:20:11And they thought they could pull this off
00:20:12against my sister.
00:20:16Easy.
00:20:17We're not done yet.
00:20:20Dude!
00:20:21I'm good in Christ!
00:20:22I'm not ready!
00:20:23Right!
00:20:30Bet on who cries first?
00:20:31Ryan.
00:20:36Mrs. Sophie Parker.
00:20:37Mr. Ryan Walker.
00:20:39Based on the damage to the vehicle
00:20:40and the video evidence on record,
00:20:41you will be held jointly liable
00:20:43for the full cost of repairs
00:20:44to this custom road bike.
00:20:45If you refuse to cooperate,
00:20:47we'll file immediately.
00:20:48Once judgment is entered,
00:20:49we'll move to enforcement.
00:20:51The property damage goes through proper channels?
00:20:53You pay what you owe?
00:20:55I'm not here to make anyone's life
00:20:56harder than it has to be.
00:20:57Clara, I'll testify!
00:20:58I have the group chat records
00:20:59and the direct transfers Ryan sent me.
00:21:02He paid me to lead the push against you.
00:21:03Voice message two!
00:21:04They manipulated all of us!
00:21:05We had nothing to do with the original plan!
00:21:07I have proof too!
00:21:08Told me to talk trash to you in the group chat!
00:21:09Same here!
00:21:10She told me to keep it going!
00:21:11Said the more people piled on,
00:21:12the better!
00:21:14Clara, I was wrong!
00:21:15I know I was wrong!
00:21:16We lived together for two years!
00:21:18Please!
00:21:19Just this once, let me off!
00:21:20I'll never be able to pay this off!
00:21:22Please!
00:21:23Give me a way out!
00:21:27Clara, I was wrong!
00:21:28I know I was wrong!
00:21:29We were for two years!
00:21:31Please spare me this once!
00:21:33Let go!
00:21:35Clara!
00:21:36I said, let go!
00:21:4110 million in damages,
00:21:42wired within three days.
00:21:44If it's not there,
00:21:46see you in court.
00:21:49Just say yes for now.
00:21:51We'll figure it out when we're back.
00:21:53Fine.
00:21:54Clara!
00:21:55We'll pay!
00:21:56We'll have it ready within three days!
00:22:06Clara,
00:22:06Sophie came back about an hour ago,
00:22:09packed up,
00:22:10and moved out.
00:22:11Her eyes were all red.
00:22:12She was crying and texting at the same time.
00:22:15We tried to ask what happened,
00:22:16but she just ignored us.
00:22:17Thanks.
00:22:21Hey,
00:22:22there are some posts going around online.
00:22:25You might want to look.
00:22:39Facts aren't in yet.
00:22:40Don't take sides.
00:22:41If she actually stole the key and took the bike,
00:22:43she needs to own it.
00:22:44Called it.
00:22:45They never planned to pay.
00:22:47They got back and went straight to spinning the story.
00:22:51Saw the forum?
00:22:52Want me to get those posts taken down?
00:22:55Don't.
00:22:55Taking them down just makes us look guilty.
00:23:06You want to use public opinion to make me fold?
00:23:09Go ahead.
00:23:10Let's see what else you've got.
00:23:18Hey, everyone.
00:23:19This is Clara Whitmore,
00:23:20the trust fund princess,
00:23:22who's pushing Sophie to the edge.
00:23:25Madison, what is this?
00:23:26Everyone, I'm here to speak up for Sophie.
00:23:29She's my friend.
00:23:29She's on financial aid,
00:23:30and Clara is pushing her to the brink.
00:23:32A seven-figure bill she'll never be able to pay off.
00:23:35Sophie is stuck in her apartment,
00:23:37too scared to come out.
00:23:38Her dad got so sick from the stress,
00:23:39he ended up in bed.
00:23:41I can't just sit back and do nothing.
00:23:44Do you even know what Sophie actually did?
00:23:45It doesn't matter what she did.
00:23:47You're a Whitmore.
00:23:48You're not hurting for money.
00:23:49To you, it's just a bike.
00:23:51To Sophie, it's her whole life.
00:23:53Tell me,
00:23:53should something like this be happening on our campus?
00:23:56Should someone like her even be allowed at Blackthorne?
00:23:58That's insane.
00:24:00None of us could ever afford that.
00:24:02It's mine, Captain.
00:24:03There's a Whitmore Alive.
00:24:04Madison,
00:24:05publicly spreading your verified information
00:24:07is a violation of university policy.
00:24:09Come with me to the student government office.
00:24:10Now.
00:24:17Since you're so big on justice,
00:24:19I'm sure you'd love to explain this.
00:24:26She didn't borrow anything.
00:24:27She stole the key and took the bike.
00:24:29She cracked the frame,
00:24:31covered it up,
00:24:31and then tried to force me to swap
00:24:32so she could pin it on me.
00:24:34Did you know any of that?
00:24:36Oh my God,
00:24:36she stole someone's stuff,
00:24:37broke it,
00:24:38and won't pay for it?
00:24:39That's AI generated.
00:24:41What can't the Whitmans fake?
00:24:47I'm Naomi Reed,
00:24:48president of student government.
00:24:50Student government formally requested
00:24:52the student court to step in.
00:24:53A public hearing will be scheduled shortly.
00:24:55Both parties are expected to attend
00:24:57and present their evidence.
00:24:58Madison Black,
00:24:59broadcasting under-verified information
00:25:01on campus is a potential violation
00:25:02of university code section 15.
00:25:04End your live stream now
00:25:05and report to the student government office.
00:25:14Clara,
00:25:15are you on the forum?
00:25:17Looks like some of the posts are gone tonight.
00:25:19Yeah.
00:25:20Doesn't it bother you?
00:25:22Those comments are brutal.
00:25:28Yeah,
00:25:29but anger doesn't get me anywhere.
00:25:31They want me riled up.
00:25:32They want me to throw
00:25:33Whitmail resources at this
00:25:34and retaliate.
00:25:36The more I react,
00:25:37the better it is for them.
00:25:44So what's your move?
00:25:46Naomi gave Madison until tomorrow.
00:25:48If she shows up at student government,
00:25:50she has to explain
00:25:50why she helped Sophie
00:25:51spread false information.
00:25:53If she doesn't,
00:25:55then that says everything.
00:26:00Sophie,
00:26:01Naomi told me to show up
00:26:02at student government tomorrow
00:26:03and explain myself.
00:26:04What do I do?
00:26:05Is that video even real?
00:26:06Who cares?
00:26:07Videos can be faked.
00:26:08What are you so scared of?
00:26:10But I was right there.
00:26:11What if they make me testify at the hearing?
00:26:13Say you didn't see anything.
00:26:14But her family has money and pull.
00:26:16If this gets too big,
00:26:17it's not going to end well for us.
00:26:19Madison,
00:26:19think about it.
00:26:20We're in the same boat.
00:26:21You shared the posts.
00:26:22You did the live stream.
00:26:22If I go down,
00:26:23you go down with me.
00:26:26This inquiry is now in session.
00:26:28Madison,
00:26:28let's start with you.
00:26:29Explain the basis
00:26:30for your public live dream
00:26:30in the main square yesterday.
00:26:32I was speaking up for Sophie.
00:26:33She's on financial aid
00:26:34and Claire is forcing her
00:26:35to pay $10 million.
00:26:36If something like that's happening on campus,
00:26:37shouldn't someone say something?
00:26:38Did you verify that Sophie's account was accurate?
00:26:44She's my friend.
00:26:45She wouldn't lie to me.
00:26:54Clara,
00:26:54your turn.
00:26:56Exhibit one,
00:26:56video screenshots from the mountain trail,
00:26:58showing Sophie riding the bike alone
00:26:59and cracking the frame.
00:27:00Time snipe the night before the incident.
00:27:02Exhibit two,
00:27:03audio from the bike's hidden recorder
00:27:04capturing Sophie and Ryan's full conversation,
00:27:05planning the swap and the setup.
00:27:06Exhibit three,
00:27:07group chat records and transfer screenshots
00:27:08showing Ryan's payments
00:27:09to the cycling club team leader.
00:27:12All exhibits have been filed with the court.
00:27:14Case numbers are on record
00:27:15and available for verification.
00:27:17If any of this is fabricated,
00:27:18I will apologize in front of everyone here
00:27:19and withdraw the claim.
00:27:21Madison,
00:27:22do you have any evidence
00:27:22to back up the claim
00:27:23that Clara fabricated evidence
00:27:24or abused her position?
00:27:28I...
00:27:28I...
00:27:31I don't know.
00:27:32Sophie told me a totally different story.
00:27:34She said Claire was jealous of her
00:27:35and had it out for her.
00:27:36I was set up!
00:27:37Claire,
00:27:37I'm so sorry.
00:27:38I shouldn't have gone at you like that yesterday.
00:27:40And those posts,
00:27:41I didn't write any of them.
00:27:43Sophie sent me the content
00:27:44and told me to share it.
00:27:45Madison,
00:27:45in your live stream yesterday,
00:27:46you said no matter what Sophie did,
00:27:48Claire shouldn't be forcing her.
00:27:49There's one problem with that.
00:27:54I never forced anyone.
00:28:00Clara!
00:28:01Clara!
00:28:02I'm begging you,
00:28:02please let my daughter go!
00:28:04Miss Whitmore,
00:28:05I've lived most of my life
00:28:06without ever begging anyone.
00:28:08Today I'm begging you,
00:28:09ten million dollars,
00:28:10we cannot pay that.
00:28:11Please,
00:28:12give our family a way out.
00:28:14Dad,
00:28:14stop!
00:28:15She doesn't deserve this!
00:28:16Mr. Parker,
00:28:17right this way.
00:28:17Let's talk somewhere quieter.
00:28:19Clara!
00:28:19Happy now?
00:28:20You drove my dad
00:28:21to take an over bus from home
00:28:22just to beg you!
00:28:23What else do you want?
00:28:25Mr. Parker,
00:28:27do you know what your daughter
00:28:28actually did?
00:28:29No matter what she did,
00:28:30ten million dollars,
00:28:30that's everything we have.
00:28:32Miss Whitmore,
00:28:32you have parents too.
00:28:33She stole my brother's bike,
00:28:34a custom road bike
00:28:35insured for seven figures.
00:28:36She cracked the frame,
00:28:37covered it with tape,
00:28:37then tried to force a swap
00:28:38on the mountain track
00:28:39so I'd take the fall.
00:28:40Dad,
00:28:40she's lying!
00:28:40She crashed in her cell!
00:28:41Her family has money and lawyers!
00:28:43They're ganging up on me!
00:28:46Clara,
00:28:47what you're saying,
00:28:48do you have any proof?
00:28:50She wouldn't steal.
00:28:52Sophie has been a good girl
00:28:53her whole life.
00:28:54She wouldn't,
00:28:54she wouldn't steal.
00:28:55Could you be wrong about this?
00:29:03Sophie!
00:29:05Is this you in this video?
00:29:07Dad,
00:29:08it's AI generated.
00:29:09The Whitmicks have money,
00:29:10they can fake anything.
00:29:14Mr. Parker,
00:29:14don't believe her.
00:29:16Clara,
00:29:16we were together two years
00:29:17and I've never seen this side of you.
00:29:18Your brother showed up
00:29:19with a bunch of bodyguards
00:29:19and forced us to kneel on gravel.
00:29:20You saw Sophie's hands.
00:29:21Is this what you call
00:29:22doing things the right way?
00:29:23Mr. Parker,
00:29:24I'm Ryan,
00:29:24Clara's ex.
00:29:25I saw it with my own eyes.
00:29:26Clara and Mason
00:29:26forced Sophie down onto the gravel
00:29:28and now she's demanding
00:29:28seven figures.
00:29:29She's pushing your daughter
00:29:30to the edge.
00:29:32Ms. Whitmore,
00:29:33did you,
00:29:33did you actually force
00:29:35my daughter to kneel?
00:29:36Ryan,
00:29:36you're saying I forced Sophie to kneel?
00:29:38Did you also tell Mr. Parker
00:29:39that you blocked my path
00:29:40on that and slapped me?
00:29:41The entire cycling club
00:29:42was right there.
00:29:42Clara,
00:29:43we broke up
00:29:43and now you're gonna slander me?
00:29:44I never hit you.
00:29:48Everyone,
00:29:48this is a copy
00:29:49of the demand letter
00:29:50Clara's legal team sent us.
00:29:51Ten million,
00:29:52wired in three days
00:29:53or they'll file suit.
00:29:54How is a college student
00:29:56supposed to go up
00:29:56against the Whitmore Group's
00:29:57legal department?
00:29:58We're not here to make trouble,
00:29:59we just want to be treated fairly.
00:30:01Ms. Whitmore,
00:30:03if someone forced your father
00:30:04to his knees,
00:30:05how would you feel?
00:30:07Mr. Parker,
00:30:08I didn't force anyone to kneel,
00:30:10but your daughter and Ryan
00:30:11did break the law
00:30:12and not just by taking the bike.
00:30:15Clara,
00:30:15what's the point of all this?
00:30:17There is.
00:30:19The recording of you
00:30:20and Sophie
00:30:20planning everything on that trail
00:30:22has already been submitted
00:30:23to the precinct.
00:30:24You're saying I faked the video?
00:30:26What about the audio, Ryan?
00:30:27Is your voice AI generated too?
00:30:35Mr. Parker,
00:30:36you see what's happening here?
00:30:37Today she uses a recording
00:30:38to come after me,
00:30:39tomorrow it'll be something else
00:30:40and it'll be you.
00:30:41People like us
00:30:41don't stand a chance
00:30:42against the Whitmers.
00:30:43All I know is my daughter
00:30:44was down on her knees
00:30:45begging.
00:30:46I'm her father.
00:30:47That breaks my heart.
00:30:53Mr. Parker,
00:30:54I'm telling you this today
00:30:55not because of what
00:30:56your daughter did to me.
00:30:56It's because there's someone
00:30:58behind this who's far worse
00:30:59and your daughter
00:31:00was just a piece
00:31:01on their board.
00:31:04Sophie, Ryan,
00:31:05over the past six months
00:31:06you targeted six students
00:31:06on financial aid,
00:31:08tampered with and forged
00:31:0847 supporting documents
00:31:09and embezzled their grant money.
00:31:10Total amount
00:31:11over $100,000.
00:31:12You manipulated
00:31:13multiple financial aid students
00:31:14into authorizing changes
00:31:15to their deposit accounts,
00:31:16funneling every dollar
00:31:16into your own pockets.
00:31:17money that belonged
00:31:18to students
00:31:18who actually needed it
00:31:19spent on designer bags,
00:31:20limited edition drops
00:31:21and luxury hotel arise.
00:31:22Emma was getting by
00:31:23on almost nothing
00:31:23while Sophie was blowing
00:31:24it at the mall.
00:31:25I can back that up.
00:31:27For two straight months
00:31:28I was living on less
00:31:29than $14 a day.
00:31:31The day my mom
00:31:31was admitted to the hospital
00:31:32I called Sophie
00:31:33to ask about the grant money.
00:31:34She told me
00:31:34it hadn't come through yet.
00:31:36That same day
00:31:36she posted a story,
00:31:37location tagged
00:31:38at a luxury boutique
00:31:39in the mall.
00:31:44All of this
00:31:45has been submitted
00:31:46to the campus financial office
00:31:47and student government.
00:31:48The findings will be released
00:31:49through official
00:31:50university channels.
00:31:51This is all made up!
00:31:52She fabricated everything!
00:31:55Ryan, these aren't forged.
00:31:57I pulled these
00:31:57from the financial office
00:31:58this morning.
00:31:59They carry the university's
00:32:00official seal.
00:32:01Six federal student aid payments
00:32:02all deposited directly
00:32:04into your and Sophie's
00:32:04personal accounts.
00:32:05Still want to call this fake?
00:32:07Sophie, that's student aid money.
00:32:09You actually took it?
00:32:10Dad, no!
00:32:11It's not like that!
00:32:12You told me to come here
00:32:12and beg.
00:32:13You said she was extorting you.
00:32:15You said she was
00:32:16the one forcing you!
00:32:18You lied to everyone!
00:32:19Dr. Parker,
00:32:20the student aid money.
00:32:21I just handled the transfers.
00:32:21I didn't know what it was for.
00:32:22You didn't know?
00:32:24It was your idea.
00:32:25You planned the whole thing,
00:32:26the bike, all of it!
00:32:28You're the one
00:32:28who set up my dad
00:32:29coming here!
00:32:30And now you don't know
00:32:31anything?
00:32:33Clara, he's behind
00:32:34all of it.
00:32:35The bike, the swap,
00:32:36getting my dad here,
00:32:37every step was his idea.
00:32:38You can believe me or not,
00:32:39but I'm telling the truth!
00:32:41Sophie Parker,
00:32:42Ryan Walker,
00:32:43you're being investigated
00:32:44for federal student aid fraud
00:32:45and identity theft.
00:32:46Warrants have been issued.
00:32:47You'll need to come with us.
00:32:48Happy now?
00:33:12Mr. Parker,
00:33:13this is for your bus ride home.
00:33:14What your daughter is facing,
00:33:16begging isn't going to fix it.
00:33:22She spent six months
00:33:23putting that together.
00:33:24I know.
00:33:25She's been waiting for today.
00:33:30Clara,
00:33:31this came from the court.
00:33:33Sophie and Ryan's case
00:33:34goes to trial next week.
00:33:35As the primary victim
00:33:36and a key witness,
00:33:37the district attorney's office
00:33:38is requesting your testimony.
00:33:41I'm ready.
00:33:42It might get uncomfortable.
00:33:43The two people in that defendant's box
00:33:46are your ex-boyfriend
00:33:47and your former roommate.
00:33:48Anything could come out in court.
00:33:50I know.
00:33:52I've been ready
00:33:53since that day on the trail.
00:33:59In the detention center,
00:34:01Sophie got into a blowout
00:34:02with Ryan over who was to blame.
00:34:04The pregnancy test
00:34:05was forged from the start.
00:34:07She just needed Ryan on the hook
00:34:09so he'd go down with her.
00:34:10Your Honor,
00:34:11both defendants are college students
00:34:12with limited life experience.
00:34:14Additionally,
00:34:15this case has its roots
00:34:15in a personal relationship dispute.
00:34:17We respectfully request
00:34:17the court's leniency.
00:34:19A personal relationship dispute
00:34:21does not require
00:34:22forging a vehicle authorization
00:34:23in advance.
00:34:24An impulsive behavior
00:34:25does not explain months
00:34:26of systematically embezzling
00:34:28student aid.
00:34:31Your Honor,
00:34:33these are the 47 forged
00:34:34financial hardship documents
00:34:36submitted by the defendants.
00:34:37This is the complete financial trail
00:34:39and spending history.
00:34:40Every dollar of misappropriated
00:34:42federal student aid
00:34:43was ultimately deposited
00:34:44into their personal accounts
00:34:45and spent on personal luxuries,
00:34:47designer goods,
00:34:48high-end hotel stays,
00:34:49and more.
00:34:50This is not a one-time
00:34:51laxing judgment.
00:34:52This was a long-term
00:34:52coordinated scheme
00:34:53involving student aid fraud,
00:34:55identity theft,
00:34:55and wire fraud.
00:34:56The defendants forged documentation
00:34:57stole the financial aid
00:34:58eligibility of others
00:34:59and redirected funds
00:35:00by altering receiving accounts,
00:35:01systematically embezzling
00:35:02federal aid
00:35:03over an extended period.
00:35:04Intent is clear.
00:35:05The amounts are substantial.
00:35:08This is the sworn testimony
00:35:10of the cycling club team leader,
00:35:12confirming that the defendants
00:35:13had a deliberate intent
00:35:14to set up my client that day.
00:35:16The evidence is both
00:35:17testimonial and physical.
00:35:19The chain of custody is complete.
00:35:25Against evidence this solid,
00:35:27the defense doesn't stand a chance.
00:35:29Our legal team came prepared.
00:35:31There are no holes to poke.
00:35:35Defendants Sophie Parker
00:35:35and Ryan Walker,
00:35:36on the charges of conspiracy,
00:35:37document fraud,
00:35:38identity theft,
00:35:39and federal student aid fraud,
00:35:40the jury finds you guilty.
00:35:41The amount involved is substantial
00:35:42and the conduct is severe.
00:35:44On all counts,
00:35:44you are hereby sentenced
00:35:45to seven years and six months
00:35:46in federal prison
00:35:47with full restitution
00:35:48of misappropriated funds
00:35:49and applicable fines.
00:35:56No, that can't be right.
00:36:13Clara, you're going to regret this.
00:36:16you'll pay for it
00:36:18sooner or later.
00:36:24Save it for the walls of your cell.
00:36:27Good behavior gets you time off.
00:36:29Maybe enough to start paying me back.
00:36:38Let's go!
00:36:39I'm buying!
00:36:40We are celebrating tonight!
00:36:41We are celebrating tonight!
00:37:05I didn't think you'd come.
00:37:08My lawyer said you needed my statement
00:37:10to move forward with the plea deal.
00:37:11I'm here to sign off.
00:37:14Sign off.
00:37:15You're not afraid
00:37:16I'll come after you
00:37:16when I get out?
00:37:17You can't.
00:37:19It's in the judgment.
00:37:20No contact with the victim
00:37:22after release.
00:37:25Ryan's in the next block.
00:37:27He writes to you every day,
00:37:28then tears them up.
00:37:29He won't see me,
00:37:30and he won't see you.
00:37:31I know.
00:37:32Twelve letters.
00:37:33I haven't opened any of them.
00:37:36Why not?
00:37:37Don't you want to know
00:37:38what he said?
00:37:41No.
00:37:47Do you know what my biggest regret is?
00:37:51It wasn't stealing the bike.
00:37:53It wasn't the student aid money.
00:37:55It was that day on the trail
00:37:58when you wouldn't swap with me,
00:38:00I should have just stopped.
00:38:02If I just stopped right there,
00:38:04would any of us have happened?
00:38:06Would it?
00:38:11Sophie,
00:38:13some things don't have a what if.
00:38:24Use the time.
00:38:25Think it through.
00:38:29Clara!
00:38:30You're right!
00:38:31There's no what if!
00:38:46Get in.
00:38:47We're going home.
00:38:51Oh my God,
00:38:52I can't.
00:38:52She's literally just stalling.
00:39:00Every time I come through here,
00:39:02I think about what happened.
00:39:07That Whitmore girl,
00:39:08her brother put the broken bike
00:39:10on display in the Whitmore Group lobby,
00:39:11called it a company exhibit.
00:39:13I saw it once when I was making a delivery.
00:39:14The cracked frames under a glass case
00:39:16with a plaque beside it.
00:39:17What does it say?
00:39:19It says where truth and purpose begin.
00:39:22You make a mistake,
00:39:23you own it.
00:39:24Live right,
00:39:25and you can start over.
00:39:26Dad,
00:39:28I want to see Clara.
00:39:38What are you here for?
00:39:40I'm here to see Clara.
00:39:42I made an appointment.
00:39:50Clara,
00:39:52I'm here to apologize.
00:39:55Not to ask for forgiveness.
00:39:58Just because I owe you a proper sorry.
00:40:05I take care of elderly residents
00:40:07with Alzheimer's now.
00:40:09The pay isn't much,
00:40:10but it's honest money.
00:40:12Why this job?
00:40:14Before I was sent in,
00:40:15they put me in a room
00:40:15for a psych evaluation.
00:40:17The counselor ran through
00:40:18a whole list of questions.
00:40:19The last one was,
00:40:20if you could go back to that day
00:40:22on the trail
00:40:23right before the downhill,
00:40:24what would you do differently?
00:40:26I said,
00:40:27I can't go back.
00:40:29So,
00:40:30I might as well do something useful now.
00:40:37The foundation has a supply inventory project
00:40:40next month for the scholarship program.
00:40:42We're short on people.
00:40:43No housing,
00:40:45daily pay.
00:40:46Up to you.
00:40:53Why?
00:40:54Because your dad worked our warehouse
00:40:56for six years.
00:40:58Because you didn't go to the press
00:40:59to fight your case
00:41:00after you got out.
00:41:02Because today you came here
00:41:03without asking for anything.
00:41:06Sophie,
00:41:07I hear your apology.
00:41:09I can't give you forgiveness.
00:41:11But I can give you a job.
00:41:12The rest is on you.
00:41:30Clara.
00:41:31Wait.
00:41:33Please.
00:41:34Five minutes.
00:41:35Just five minutes.
00:41:36Go ahead.
00:41:39These past six years,
00:41:41I picked up welding inside.
00:41:43After I got out I found work at a factory outside the city
00:41:47$4,000 a month
00:41:49This envelope is my first three months pay
00:41:52When I got out I tracked down Sophie
00:41:55She's a caregiver at a nursing home now
00:41:57She told me she apologized to you that you gave her a job
00:41:59The way she said it like she was talking about the weather
00:42:02So I figured between the three of us there needed to be some kind of ending
00:42:06I know you don't owe us anything and I know we're the ones who started all of this
00:42:09But I needed to say it to your face
00:42:10I'm sorry, it's not much
00:42:14Just over $10,000
00:42:17Call it interest on what we owe
00:42:18Ryan
00:42:20I'm not going to say it's fine
00:42:22I'm not going to say it's all in the past
00:42:29But take this back
00:42:30And put it toward a better welding machine
00:42:32A trade takes work to learn
00:42:35Don't waste it
00:42:39Do you still ride bikes?
00:42:43Got a new one
00:42:50Ryan wasn't asking about the bike
00:42:52He was asking if I'd be willing to look back
00:42:55I understood
00:42:56But I'm done looking back
00:43:21This bike was there for the most ridiculous chapter of my life
00:43:24But it's only now that I realize
00:43:26The full truth of that day was never actually told
00:43:40It wasn't Sophie
00:43:41It wasn't Ryan
00:43:43Someone behind the scenes was playing everyone
00:43:46I know who that is
00:43:48Julian Mercer
00:43:49Founder of Mercer Cycling
00:43:51Hasn't Mercer Cycling been sponsoring the school's cycling club for years?
00:43:54Sponsored?
00:43:55He's practically bought out half the school
00:43:57I'm going to go find him and get answers
00:43:58Hold on
00:43:59Based on one photo
00:44:00What are you going to say to him
00:44:01That he's behind what happened to your sister?
00:44:03Do you have anything to back that up?
00:44:07Mr. Whitworth
00:44:08I'm Adrian Cole
00:44:09The new legal director
00:44:16The time span on this photo has been altered
00:44:19We need to find the original device
00:44:20Before we can confirm anything
00:44:22What are you scared of stepping on Mercer's toes?
00:44:24I'm not scared of offending anyone
00:44:26I want to make sure this evidence wasn't planted on purpose
00:44:34Sophie and Ryan ran their financial aid applications through Mercer's platform
00:44:37What if these two things were never separate to begin with?
00:44:41Don't let him know you're onto him
00:44:46The students change their refund accounts
00:44:48Using the university's internal system, right?
00:44:51Yes
00:44:52But in the data logs
00:44:53There's an authorization code from an outside platform
00:44:55The permission didn't come from the university at all
00:44:59These authorization codes were generated by a tech subsivity under Mercer holdings
00:45:04Does that prove Julian was behind the fraud?
00:45:07Not yet
00:45:07The subsidiary operates independently
00:45:09And an authorization code is just a system interface
00:45:12At most it shows the platform was handling university functions
00:45:16It doesn't tell us who's really behind it
00:45:19What about this?
00:45:21Every time before Sophie changed an account
00:45:23She received a volunteer service stipend
00:45:25Small amount
00:45:26But the timing is exact
00:45:29The money didn't come directly from Mercer holdings
00:45:32It passed through three separate charitable organizations
00:45:34Three layers of transfers
00:45:36Before it reached Sophie's account
00:45:40All those layers
00:45:41Just to keep his company's name out of it
00:45:44Forget the digging
00:45:46I'll just go find him
00:45:48And make him explain himself
00:45:49He set up every one of those transfer routes
00:45:51Precisely so you'd go charging in
00:45:53The second you blow up
00:45:53He has grounds to say you're throwing your weight around
00:46:04Who showed you how to use the outside authorization code?
00:46:08Ryan
00:46:09Think again
00:46:10How would a student like Ryan know the authorization code for Mercer's platform?
00:46:15He looked it up online
00:46:17And the backdand of the Mercer Youth Charity Platform
00:46:20Did he pick that up online too?
00:46:24Stop!
00:46:27Sophie, you know Julian, don't you?
00:46:30Some people, you just don't go near
00:46:33You think I'm stupid?
00:46:35I was just thinking
00:46:36Whoever put this much fear into you
00:46:38It probably wasn't the first time
00:46:43She was terrified the whole time
00:46:45But she still didn't ask for help
00:46:47Whoever's behind this must have real reach
00:46:54Scared?
00:46:56Yes
00:46:57Being scared and backing down aren't the same thing
00:46:59You were scared, you still came
00:47:01You really do live up to your reputation
00:47:05Real philanthropy is giving young people a second chance
00:47:17Have legal put together a cease and desist
00:47:19I want it on the Whitmore Foundation's desk first thing tomorrow morning
00:47:28Julian Merson just sent us a cease and desist
00:47:31Pull the bike and publicly state the accident had nothing to do with Mercer?
00:47:35This isn't about the bike
00:47:36He wants to know how far you've gotten
00:47:37So he just walked into our hands?
00:47:39This letter is a probe
00:47:40He wants to see if you'll hit back right away or let it go
00:47:43Don't respond
00:47:44Not yet
00:47:51The letter was standard procedure
00:47:52No offense intended, Mr. Whitmore
00:47:54Mercer is prepared to cover the damages on the bike
00:47:56We'll also reissue grants to any affected students
00:47:58Got a guilty conscience?
00:47:59Is that why you're in such a hurry to throw money at this?
00:48:01I'm just here to fix things
00:48:02Mercer and the Whitmore Foundation could co-fund a new student aid initiative
00:48:05Sign this agreement
00:48:06And the youth program restarts almost immediately
00:48:11Mature people can settle things without keeping score
00:48:13But when someone writes stay quiet into a contract
00:48:16They were never talking about charity to begin with
00:48:18Sometimes letting go of the past is the only way to move forward
00:48:20I only care about the truth
00:48:22Then let's leave it there for now
00:48:24A broken bike is best thrown out
00:48:25Not kept under a spotlight forever
00:48:27Whatever's afraid of the spotlight
00:48:29It's never the bike
00:48:40We've been hacked
00:48:48The account used for the breach
00:48:50Belongs to someone who left the company three years ago
00:48:52Three years ago?
00:48:54Sophie wasn't even involved yet back then
00:48:56So this account was kept live on purpose
00:48:58Saved for exactly this moment
00:49:03He was already planning his next move when he shook my hand
00:49:06Someone like him
00:49:07I'm not letting him walk away clean
00:49:12Victoria Langford
00:49:13Charity salon
00:49:15Main sponsor
00:49:16Julian Merson
00:49:17The Langfords and Mercers go back years
00:49:19This salon is Julian's home court
00:49:22And you're going anyway?
00:49:25I'm going
00:49:26If he's this eager to set something up
00:49:28I want to see what he's after
00:49:30I'll come with you
00:49:31As legal counsel
00:49:46Clara
00:49:47Putting two families' charitable partnership on the line
00:49:49For a student who's already behind bars
00:49:50Is it really worth it?
00:49:52I just want the truth
00:49:53The one who isn't worth it
00:49:55Is whoever's hiding it
00:49:58Don't push it today
00:50:01Miss Whitfield
00:50:02Would you come up and sign with me?
00:50:13Before I sign anything
00:50:15I'd like to inspect this equipment
00:50:17Clara
00:50:17Are you seriously questioning
00:50:18Mercer Group's donation?
00:50:19I just don't want students wearing uncertified gear without knowing it
00:50:23Of course
00:50:24Have someone bring up a sample set
00:50:28Miss Whitmerth
00:50:29Any other concerns?
00:50:35These helmets from Mercer carry expired serial numbers
00:50:38What you're about to hand to students is uncertified equipment
00:50:41It looks like the supplier packed the wrong items
00:50:43On behalf of Mercer, I apologize
00:50:45We'll pull this batch and retest before redonating
00:50:48That explains it
00:50:50You made a scene at my event
00:50:52And embarrassed the Langford name
00:50:53You owe me an apology
00:50:54Victoria
00:50:55Even if you want to back Mercer
00:50:56Ask yourself this
00:50:57If they're sending fake goods to your own event
00:50:59Are they really treating you like a partner?
00:51:05Julian
00:51:06How many more things has he been keeping from me?
00:51:15Same outer packaging, different weight
00:51:31Mercer again
00:51:33Where's the receipt log for this shipment?
00:51:37Someone bypassed the inspection process
00:51:39The day this shipment came in
00:51:41It was Mercer's people who dropped it off
00:51:42Said they were pressed for time
00:51:43School event coming up
00:51:44And told us to sign first and sort it later
00:51:46Did you sign it?
00:51:48I didn't
00:51:49But they pulled out an authorization letter
00:51:51With your electronic signature on it
00:51:54I never authorized this
00:51:56This signature was lifted from an old contract
00:51:58It's not a real authorization
00:52:01Have any of these gone out to students yet?
00:52:03Hold off on distribution
00:52:04Pull back what you can
00:52:05And be upfront about what happened
00:52:06Just put out a statement
00:52:07Tell the whole school Mercer sent counterfeit goods
00:52:09We put the safety risk out there first
00:52:11Then we talk responsibility
00:52:12If we cover it up
00:52:13We're the ones who look guilty
00:52:16The foundation's issuing a recall
00:52:18So does that mean the gear Mercer sent is defective?
00:52:20But Mercer said they were just the donor, right?
00:52:22Mercer is simply the donor
00:52:24Inspection of supplies falls on the Whitmore Foundation
00:52:26We have complete confidence in their process
00:52:27And in your view, where did those defective helmets come from?
00:52:30It's possible two batches got mixed together
00:52:32For specifics, you'd really need to ask the foundation
00:52:45He wants me to clean up his mess
00:52:47And I'm not even sure what he sent was real
00:52:49What does he think I am?
00:52:52Since someone wants to claim this was a mix-up
00:52:54We'll run a real-world night writing test
00:52:55And let the results speak for themselves
00:52:57A night writing test carries real risk
00:52:59Last year's closed team test still put people on the ground
00:53:01That's exactly why I can't let students
00:53:03Who don't know any better put these on and ride
00:53:24Round one, low-speed impact test
00:53:29Number 03, normal, minor surface scratching
00:53:40Number 07, fracture
00:53:45It fractured at low speed
00:53:47What happens when someone actually crashes?
00:54:01This batch fails to meet minimum safety standards for campus night riding
00:54:08These helmets contain proprietary information
00:54:10Testing needs to stop immediately
00:54:11We'll be reclaiming all the equipment
00:54:12It's been delivered and accepted
00:54:13Ownership belongs to the Whitmore Foundation
00:54:14Merson has no standing to reclaim it
00:54:15Then we'll take the official route
00:54:17If you push this, I can have certain online sources tell a very different story
00:54:21Was that a threat?
00:54:26Don't move
00:54:27Every word you just said is on record
00:54:37Julian asked me to help bury the helmet story
00:54:39He thinks I'm still the good Langford girl who falls in line
00:54:44So why tell me?
00:54:46I'm not here to help you
00:54:47I'm just done being somebody's weapon
00:54:49This is everything
00:54:50Every message he sent asking me to help take you down
00:54:52Use it however you need
00:54:53I'll take the evidence
00:54:54But I'm not thanking you for helping me
00:54:58Suit yourself
00:55:18You just plan on quietly staying by her side like this?
00:55:22She doesn't need anyone fighting her battles
00:55:24She needs to know that when she turns around, someone's still there
00:55:40The helmets Mercer donated were deliberately switched
00:55:43Solely to retaliate against Julian
00:55:45This video
00:55:47I never said any of this
00:55:56I intentionally switched out the helmets that Mercer donated
00:55:59Just to retaliate against Julian
00:56:01She said it that clearly, how could it be fake?
00:56:03But even if she wanted revenge
00:56:05She wouldn't play games with students' lives, would she?
00:56:09She actually has the nerve to show up?
00:56:21I'm getting people to take down all the posts
00:56:23Taking them down just makes us look guilty
00:56:24The only way to kill this is to let the truth come out
00:56:29Hold on, listen to this
00:56:31That's the bell from Blackthorne's old auditorium
00:56:33But from the Foundation's office, you can't hear that bell
00:56:35The building faces the wrong direction
00:56:36So it wasn't filmed in the office at all
00:56:43I don't wear glasses
00:56:45Whoever made this video used someone else's facial template
00:56:47That gesture came from a different source
00:56:51The student government has decided to hold a public authentication hearing
00:56:53But until the results are out, no one can treat unverified content as fact
00:56:56The first person to share the video today was Madison
00:56:58She said in her live stream that she just received a link from an anonymous account
00:57:01Then have her submit the original chat logs
00:57:03She said she lost her phone
00:57:06Lost it?
00:57:08Perfect
00:57:31This hearing will rely solely on animized and notarized evidence
00:57:35Neither party may invoke family background or corporate standing to influence the outcome
00:57:40First, a slight detectable delay between lip movement with audio
00:57:43Second, pupil reflections don't align with the room's light source
00:57:47Third, voice print analysis shows mobile syllables were pulled from separate public recordings
00:57:52This only proves the video was fabricated
00:57:54It doesn't establish any connection to Mercer Holdings
00:57:57The video file contains this company's internal ID
00:57:59On paper, it operates overseas
00:58:01In practice, it's been managing Mercer Holdings' online reputation
00:58:03That company denies any direct affiliation with Mercer
00:58:05Madison, explain where the video originally came from
00:58:08I... I just received it from an anonymous source
00:58:11The device that originally uploaded this video is the phone you're holding right now
00:58:16If Madison fabricated this video, Mercer will hold her personally liable for brand definition
00:58:20I didn't make it! Someone reached out through Cycling Club Team Leader
00:58:22They told me to share the video and push the story
00:58:24And the money came from them too!
00:58:27Sit down
00:58:28I've been organizing campus cycling events for Mercer Hardings for years
00:58:31Sharing the video, that was on their orders too
00:58:33A corporation sponsoring a student club isn't illegal
00:58:42Truth has a way of coming out
00:58:44The more pawns you use, the more likely one of them won't go down for you
00:59:02The subscriber you dialed is powered off
00:59:05He cut everyone loose
00:59:10This is the statement from that overseas PR firm
00:59:12They dumped everything on me
00:59:13Listen to this
00:59:14The team leader had me go live using a script from Mercer PR
00:59:17Way before Sophie got into trouble, Julian was already in contact with us through him
00:59:21What did he say?
00:59:22He said high-performing students could score internships at Mercer
00:59:25To get into his circle, Sophie helped him manipulate student records on the charity platform
00:59:28Ryan handled finding people to hand over their accounts
00:59:30How much did you know back then?
00:59:31I knew some of it
00:59:32I saw Sophie in Julian's car
00:59:34But I was scared that if I said something I'd get pulled into it too
00:59:37Then why are you speaking up now?
00:59:40Because I'm afraid of becoming the next Sophie
00:59:44I'll take the evidence
00:59:45But cooperating with an investigation is what you're supposed to do
00:59:47It's not a bargaining chip
00:59:49You really don't cut anyone any splack, do you?
00:59:51There's a time and place for that
00:59:53Evidence, isn't it?
00:59:59The time span on this photo puts it exactly one day before the first student aid transfer
01:00:04The evidence finally has him
01:00:11Mr. Parker
01:00:13Our employer has a small request
01:00:16All you need to do is make one public statement
01:00:18Say that Miss Whitwood used your job to pressure you and to cooperate against Mr. Mercer
01:00:22Play along
01:00:23And your daughter Sophie's lawyer will have the funds to file for a sentence reduction
01:00:37Miss Whitwell, she...
01:00:39Mr. Parker, did the Whitmer Group use your job to coerce you?
01:00:41Did they force you to give false testimony?
01:00:44I do indeed work at the Whitmer Group's warehouse
01:00:52So you're saying Miss Whitwell used your job to pressure you?
01:00:55You're saying Miss Posters
01:01:03Look at this
01:01:04Mercer Holdings, they're the ones who gave me this money
01:01:06They told me to come forward and say Miss Whitmore pressured me into helping accuse Mr. Mercer
01:01:10They even gave me a statement to read from
01:01:14I didn't come here today to attack Miss Whitmore
01:01:16I came to set the record straight
01:01:18I don't want to lie to my own daughter for anyone else
01:01:21Not ever again
01:01:31Stop right there
01:01:35Don't move
01:01:36Please cooperate
01:01:37We need to verify your identity and establish where these funds came from
01:01:44This seal
01:01:45It's from Mercer Holdings Internal Charity Projects Division
01:01:48I don't know anything about this, that envelope isn't mine
01:01:54That employee acted independently, the company had no knowledge
01:01:57Handle it accordingly, no leniency
01:02:01People online are coming after me
01:02:02Saying I took the money and then turned on them
01:02:04I can have legal go after those accounts for you
01:02:07No need, at my age I don't care what people say
01:02:09But there's one thing I need to ask you
01:02:10Tell me
01:02:11I want to see Sophie
01:02:12I want to ask her to her face
01:02:14Exactly what did that man make her do
01:02:17I'll arrange it for you
01:02:24Dad, did you do it?
01:02:26Did you say what they wanted?
01:02:30Merger's people don't care if your sentence gets cut
01:02:32They just want to keep using us
01:02:35He... he knew this whole time?
01:02:37Sophie, tell me the truth
01:02:37What exactly did that man make you do?
01:02:44Dad got used
01:02:45But me?
01:02:46I walked right into it
01:02:48Six months ago
01:02:49Mercer said he could get me an internship
01:02:50Asked me to help test student account functions on the charity platform
01:02:52Said switching refund accounts was just checking for system vulnerabilities
01:02:54And you transferred the money out
01:02:55When the money actually hit my account
01:02:57He said as long as I kept cooperating it would count as stipings
01:02:58I couldn't let go of the money
01:02:59And I was scared of getting caught
01:03:00So I just kept going
01:03:01The bike?
01:03:02Did he set that up too?
01:03:03He knew where your brother kept the spare key
01:03:04In the student government office
01:03:05He told me if I rode that bike during the event
01:03:07I could become Mercer's campus ambassador
01:03:08You took the key
01:03:09And you crashed the bike
01:03:11After I crashed
01:03:12I panicked and called him
01:03:13He said I needed to find someone who could afford to cover it
01:03:15Someone to pin it on
01:03:17So you chose me
01:03:20Do you have any evidence of him contacting you?
01:03:22He never used his own number
01:03:24But I have an old phone
01:03:25There's an unsent draft on it
01:03:26Notes from every time I met with him
01:03:28Where is the phone?
01:03:30Hidden in the air vent
01:03:32In that rental I had off campus
01:03:43Got it
01:03:46Battery's dead
01:03:46We'll need to send it to a recovery specialist
01:03:59You're okay?
01:04:01I'm not
01:04:08You never try to talk me out of this
01:04:10Why?
01:04:11Because I know you're not stopping
01:04:13Trying to convince you would be pointless
01:04:16So you'll just keep following me?
01:04:21I like the person who gets scared and keeps going anyway
01:04:27There are no direct messages from Julian
01:04:29But this memo, Sophie wrote it herself
01:04:32First meeting Mercer brand experience store
01:04:34Testing charity platform accounts
01:04:36Second meeting campus parking lot
01:04:38Handed student records to his assistant
01:04:39Third meeting the night before the bike
01:04:41Jay said as long as Clara gets on that bike
01:04:43The rest is none of my business
01:04:44Just the letter J
01:04:46A lawyer could argue it means anyone
01:04:50Look at the scratch pattern
01:04:57Same cuff clicks
01:05:01These cuff clicks were custom made for Julian's 18th birthday by the Merritt family
01:05:05Only pair in the world
01:05:05Can't be anyone else
01:05:06That only proves he met with Sophie
01:05:08It doesn't prove he told her to set me up
01:05:11What about surveillance footage?
01:05:14University policy
01:05:15Footage from the store and parking lot gets overrated every three months
01:05:19The student government office hallway used to have an old standalone camera
01:05:22It wasn't tied into the school's network
01:05:24Data went straight to a local drive
01:05:25Can we still get to it?
01:05:27I just checked the equipment warehouse
01:05:29The camera's gone
01:05:30Who took it?
01:05:32Mercer Cycling's campus project manager
01:05:34Timing?
01:05:35The day after Sophie was arrested
01:05:38He's been covering his tracks from the beginning
01:05:44We're trying to track down some old equipment
01:05:47I don't take anything without clear provenance
01:05:52Oh, him
01:05:54Yeah, he brought in an old camera to fix
01:05:56Someone picked up the hard drive later
01:05:59Dad, that photo you had me take during the repair
01:06:01I still have it
01:06:05This hard drive
01:06:06It just got relisted on a resale site three days ago
01:06:08Shipping address
01:06:09Mercer Holdings
01:06:10Headquarters
01:06:16The hard drive's on its way to him
01:06:18We need to call the police now
01:06:19There's no proof yet
01:06:20A purchase record alone
01:06:21He can say he had no knowledge of what was on it
01:06:23Then what do you suggest we do?
01:06:25Where does he usually send old equipment for disposal?
01:06:27Mercer Headquarters cycles out old electronics and batches
01:06:30Sends them to a destruction facility outside the city
01:06:32Then we get there first
01:06:43Lucky you got here when you did
01:06:45Another half day and this would have been dust
01:07:00When this gentleman left
01:07:01Looks like he was missing a cuff button
01:07:04The Laurel cuff clink
01:07:06He lost it when he stopped by the office
01:07:07The cuffling in that anonymous photo wasn't fabricated
01:07:10He really was there
01:07:11But it dropped by the desk
01:07:12Who's gonna prove it's his?
01:07:14Hold on
01:07:15I just remembered
01:07:17When I was packing up the bike later
01:07:18I felt something in the storage bag lining
01:07:22Pretty sure it was a cuffling
01:07:26When Sophie crashed
01:07:27She must have scooped everything up
01:07:29And stuffed it in the bag without checking
01:07:37The cuffling came back with traces from both Julian and Sophie
01:07:41The photo
01:07:42The cuffling
01:07:44The scratches
01:07:46Every time he thought he'd covered his tracks
01:07:48He left something behind
01:07:51Meeting her doesn't constitute ordering a crime
01:07:54Will you attend the hearing voluntarily?
01:07:57Yes
01:07:58I'll use the opportunity to frame all our interactions
01:08:01As standard charity work
01:08:09So that's what I've always been to him
01:08:15This hearing is about evidence
01:08:16Not family background
01:08:18I did meet with Sophie
01:08:19And yes, I had her help test the charity platform
01:08:22But it was all routine project work
01:08:26Here's an email showing Sophie applied for the internship on her own initiative
01:08:30It demonstrates my client never coerced her
01:08:36This evidence, at best, demonstrates misconduct by Mercer employees
01:08:40It doesn't establish that Mr. Mercer himself issued any directives
01:08:43Miss Whitmore, do you have anything more concrete?
01:08:47At this time, we don't have a direct verbal instruction from him
01:08:50The rule of law doesn't convict on conjecture
01:08:52What he just said
01:08:54That's the principle I've stood by this entire time
01:08:56I never thought I'd hear it weaponized against me
01:09:00Hey, listen!
01:09:05Mr. Mercer, will you step down as head of the charity initiative?
01:09:08I have business overseas next week
01:09:10My team will handle things in the interim
01:09:17This isn't a loss
01:09:19But he didn't either
01:09:20The evidence runs out exactly where he said it would
01:09:23The harder he works to pin this on his employees
01:09:25The more likely he is to leave fresh traces
01:09:27He's used to covering his tracks
01:09:28But people who cover their tracks get comfortable
01:09:31And comfortable people slip
01:09:38Articles targeting the Whitmore family just started going up on light
01:09:41The content?
01:09:43Claiming the Whitmore suppressed smaller brands
01:09:45Calling you a rich girl abusing privilege to go after a classmate
01:09:48Multiple accounts posted at the same time
01:09:50That so?
01:09:51One thing stands out
01:09:52Every article has the same typo
01:09:54Mercer spelled Mercer
01:09:56This error?
01:09:57I've only seen that mistake in Mercer's internal PR templates
01:10:00He thought he'd scrubbed everything clean
01:10:02Missed one typo
01:10:03Then we'll use that typo to build a trap he can't pin on anyone else
01:10:12Today, have the Foundation leak fake intel
01:10:17Say we recovered a full audio recording from Sophie's old phone
01:10:20Someone in it mentions Julian by name
01:10:23You want to trace where the leak goes?
01:10:25Yes
01:10:26Send a different version to each target
01:10:28We need to identify the actual channel
01:10:46That version only went to Mercer's legal team
01:10:50Confirmed, he's running it directly
01:10:52I'll keep following the money trail on this piece
01:10:54The payment came from a private consulting firm Julian set up overseas
01:10:56The firm doesn't belong to Mercer Holdings
01:10:58No employees to throw under the bus this time
01:10:59First time he left a direct trail
01:11:02Oh
01:11:04We were just contracted for a job
01:11:06I can turn over the encrypted communications
01:11:11One email
01:11:13That's all it takes
01:11:20Did you write this?
01:11:22I did
01:11:22But everything I did was to protect the company
01:11:24But the counterfeit supplies
01:11:26The cross-border PR
01:11:27All of it came out of company accounts
01:11:29If we continue covering for you
01:11:30The entire Mercer family goes down
01:11:32You're suspended
01:11:33All duties
01:11:34Effective immediately
01:11:37Understood
01:11:48Get me a private jet
01:11:49I'm leaving tonight
01:11:55He's running
01:12:09This was filmed before Sophie was even sentenced
01:12:11She recorded this the day she came back from the mountain trail
01:12:13It's been edited since
01:12:17Read from the script Mr. Julian provided
01:12:20That's enough
01:12:22This video was meant to be his insurance
01:12:23Now it's just one more thing that ties back to him
01:12:35Spelling error
01:12:36That's what takes me down
01:12:39Faster
01:12:39His flight's about to leave
01:12:41Slow down
01:12:42At a time like this you want to slow down?
01:12:44Putting more people at risk to catch one person
01:12:46That's not worth it
01:12:47Following the rules isn't just something we say
01:12:49Following the rules isn't just something we say
01:12:49Following the rules isn't just something we say
01:12:53Sir we need to re-verify your passport please wait here
01:13:10Even if you have that email all you did was cost me the company
01:13:14Once I'm out of the country I start over
01:13:15So what are you gonna do?
01:13:17If you're not afraid of anything then why are you running?
01:13:20He said the law doesn't convict on conjecture
01:13:22So I'll make sure that same law is what brings him down
01:13:30Julian Merson
01:13:30Julian Merson
01:13:31You're under investigation for commercial fraud
01:13:32Forging authorizations
01:13:34Obstructing justice
01:13:35Witness tampering
01:13:36And cross border defamation
01:13:37Some of these charges fall under federal stupid
01:13:38Internal agents won't cover it
01:13:39Sophie was greedy
01:13:40Ryan was stupid
01:13:41Madison a coward
01:13:42Just better at reading the room
01:13:43What about the students riding at night in counterfeit helmets?
01:13:45Actual accident rates aren't that high
01:13:47Every parent who hears that will remember your name
01:13:53You only won because of your name
01:13:54If I wanted to use my family Mason could have run you out of Blackville day one
01:13:57I spent months gathering evidence
01:13:59So you lose by the same rules you tried to hide behind
01:14:03Mosa Holdings has issued an official apology statement
01:14:06Pledging to recall all affected devices
01:14:08And to cooperate fully with all investigations
01:14:11Victoria rejected the Mercer family's proposal for a private settlement
01:14:14She then publicly disclosed all of Julian's chat records
01:14:17Which revealed his request for her to suppress Clara's information
01:14:19From today forward
01:14:21No single family or corporation can unilaterally change student aid account information
01:14:25I'll organize all of it
01:14:26Every file
01:14:28Julian's behind bars
01:14:29But Sophie's still waiting for closure
01:14:35Sophie has refused to eat for three consecutive days
01:14:38And only asked to see you
01:14:41This could just be another manipulation
01:14:44Whether you go
01:14:45That's your call
01:15:00I'll go
01:15:07Julian?
01:15:08Did he make it out?
01:15:10He was stopped at the airport and the family cut him off
01:15:14Revoked his inheritance
01:15:23And I was
01:15:26Still waiting for him to come for me
01:15:28He was never coming
01:15:32I know
01:15:33I've known for a while
01:15:34I just didn't want to face it
01:15:36I kept thinking
01:15:37As long as I was useful
01:15:38He wouldn't forget me
01:15:41Then why didn't you speak up?
01:15:44Because I was scared
01:15:46Scared to admit that the whole time I was just
01:15:49Disposable
01:15:51You know what?
01:15:53That anonymous package
01:15:55It wasn't from Julian's enemies
01:15:57I set up that photo on a delayed send
01:15:59Right before I was sentenced
01:16:03That was you?
01:16:06I didn't know if Julian would try to silence me
01:16:08So I kept insurance
01:16:10But I...
01:16:10I couldn't put his name on it
01:16:12Not directly
01:16:13Why?
01:16:14Because part of me still thought he'd come back
01:16:15I wanted to protect myself
01:16:17But I also wanted him to show up and save me
01:16:19In the end I got neither
01:16:21I hated you
01:16:22Hated that you had money
01:16:23Hated that even after everything
01:16:24You could still look people in the eye
01:16:25I thought the only way to survive
01:16:26Was to play weak, lie low, and attach yourself to someone powerful
01:16:29But the person you latched onto
01:16:30He's the one who pushed you off the edge
01:16:33You won
01:16:33She said I won
01:16:34But she was never the one I was fighting
01:16:54This court sustains all claims brought by the complainant
01:17:05I won't be showing up anymore
01:17:07Why?
01:17:08I was never here to decide anything for you
01:17:11I was just the voice reminding you not to back down when you were scared
01:17:25What are you looking at?
01:17:28The one who kept reminding me
01:17:29She's gone
01:17:32Maybe she's not gone
01:17:34She just went back to where she always was
01:17:37Where is that?
01:17:38Right here
01:17:40What are you two standing around for?
01:17:42Come on, let's get food
01:17:43The way you two are standing there
01:17:45Why does it bother me so much?
01:17:47Let's go, I want a ride
01:17:51Ryan asked if I got a new bike
01:17:54He wasn't asking about the bike
01:17:57He was asking if I'd ever look back
01:18:00I understood
01:18:03But I'm not looking back
01:18:06From today forward, this system follows one principle
01:18:10Evidence over status
01:18:11Evidence over status
01:18:12Due process for everyone
01:18:20Five years ago, I was the student counting pennies for dinner
01:18:23Now I'm standing here
01:18:25And all I want to say is this
01:18:27The best way to be grateful is to make sure this never happens again
01:18:37Should you wear it?
01:18:39I'm just overseeing
01:18:43You know how much this bike cost?
01:18:45Only one in the world
01:18:46Right, point is, rules matter more than status
01:18:49Remember that
01:18:50New equipment inspection report, everything passed
01:18:52Counselor Cole, when exactly do you plan to stop using work as cover?
01:18:55Not planning on it
01:18:57Thank you
01:19:07If you picked the wrong route, don't blame me
01:19:09I won't
01:19:11This time, no one gets to take what's mine
