spk_0
Jesse, stop!
spk_0
I can explain!
spk_0
No, Abel, I don't want another explanation.
spk_0
I don't want anything to do with you!
spk_0
Charlotte, I am so so sorry.
spk_0
Whatever! You can have him!
spk_0
And in case you're confused, I'm no longer STs.
spk_0
I don't have access to our internal roster, but I have our client list.
spk_0
Send it to me.
spk_0
This says, Assignments, dates, payment amounts.
spk_0
This is perfect.
spk_0
Amber, Bishop Gray is not fair.
spk_0
It never was, and it never will be.
spk_0
If you actually believe that, this whole school is bullshit, then why are you here?
spk_0
If you're telling yourself that you're doing this because you deserve this school,
spk_0
you're smarter than that, Amber.
spk_0
Fuck it.
spk_0
Hello?
spk_0
Mom?
spk_0
Eva?
spk_0
Baby, what's wrong?
spk_0
Are you hurt?
spk_0
No, I'm okay.
spk_0
I just needed to hear your voice.
spk_0
What's going on?
spk_0
You're crying.
spk_0
Mom, I messed up.
spk_0
In a really bad way.
spk_0
Eva, you're scaring me what happened.
spk_0
I made some bad decisions, and I...
spk_0
I started feeling with the wrong people here, and I think I'm going to get in a lot of trouble.
spk_0
What kind of trouble are you talking about?
spk_0
I cheated, Mom.
spk_0
On a lot of things.
spk_0
You did what?
spk_0
I know what you're going to say, that you raised me better than this, but...
spk_0
This place...
spk_0
I just got so overwhelmed by the pressure.
spk_0
I worried that school wasn't good for you.
spk_0
You pushed yourself too much.
spk_0
Why would you cheat?
spk_0
I was going to fail a huge test if I didn't.
spk_0
And then what?
spk_0
What?
spk_0
What would have happened if you failed this huge test?
spk_0
I would have...
spk_0
I don't know.
spk_0
Lowered my GPA, and it could ruin my entire chances of the Ivy League.
spk_0
I mean, forget med school.
spk_0
I don't...
spk_0
Eva, baby.
spk_0
One test can't determine your entire life.
spk_0
I was raised to work twice as hard as my white peers, but you...
spk_0
You work ten times as hard to a fault.
spk_0
I just...
spk_0
I want it to be the best.
spk_0
I know you do, but there are more important things than that.
spk_0
I know.
spk_0
I don't even remember why I wanted to come here.
spk_0
I miss you so much.
spk_0
Don't worry about me.
spk_0
I'll always be here, even when you lose your way.
spk_0
Hey, Eva.
spk_0
What are you talking about?
spk_0
Mom, I'll call you back.
spk_0
Love you.
spk_0
I love you more, Eva.
spk_0
Uh, okay.
spk_0
Can you grab your coat?
spk_0
We need to head out.
spk_0
Where are we going?
spk_0
Headmaster's office.
spk_0
Is everything okay?
spk_0
I don't know any more than that.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
I'm here to see you pay me home.
spk_0
You belong.
spk_0
I'm here to see you go home.
spk_0
From Wondry and At Will Media, this is Academy.
spk_0
Episode 10.
spk_0
Win New Hampshire.
spk_0
You should make a new Canon.
spk_0
I'm here to bring you my new podcast, Nick Cannon at night.
spk_0
Every week, I'm bringing out some of my celebrity friends and the best experts in the business
spk_0
to answer your most intimate relationship questions.
spk_0
So don't be shy.
spk_0
Join the conversation and head over to YouTube to watch Nick Cannon at night
spk_0
or subscribe on the Wondry app or wherever you get your podcast.
spk_0
Eva Richards, please sit.
spk_0
Um, am I in trouble?
spk_0
For something?
spk_0
That's always your first question in my office, Eva.
spk_0
And now, I understand why.
spk_0
August, why was Eva just escorted to the headmaster's office?
spk_0
I thought we agreed to wait till we'd break.
spk_0
With the release of that client list, we're all in danger and we need to cut ties as soon as possible.
spk_0
Why didn't you ask me first?
spk_0
Because you're not in control, Noah!
spk_0
I am.
spk_0
Following the mishap at the IV dinner,
spk_0
I thought to look into your background to see if there were any possible connections to academic dishonesty.
spk_0
And I was so disappointed to find that everything you've done here is built on a lie.
spk_0
I know about your grand ambitions to replace me, people talk.
spk_0
And fear outweighs loyalty every time.
spk_0
August, I'm sorry about Eva, but I have nothing to do with the release of that client list.
spk_0
Why would I do that?
spk_0
After Eva's gone, there will be consequences for this.
spk_0
But if you get Eva to go down quietly, I might just let you stay here long enough to graduate.
spk_0
I don't know if I can.
spk_0
She's super pissed at me.
spk_0
Do as you're told. You're endangering all of us.
spk_0
I am?
spk_0
What?
spk_0
What are you talking about?
spk_0
When I read your Halloween essay, I was so struck by the way you spoke about your father, his death from liver cancer,
spk_0
deferred treatment that your family couldn't afford, all very affecting.
spk_0
But it's all a lie.
spk_0
Your father is very much alive, correct?
spk_0
I...
spk_0
I didn't lie about how I felt and what it meant to me when he was gone, but...
spk_0
I needed to get here.
spk_0
And you were willing to lie about tragedy to get what you wanted?
spk_0
I was right about you, Eva.
spk_0
You are a blue jay.
spk_0
A killer willing to do anything it takes.
spk_0
August, you're acting insane.
spk_0
Someone from the administration will find out if you keep going to extremes.
spk_0
You don't know what you're talking about.
spk_0
People are noticing you don't think the headmaster has heard rumors about us?
spk_0
About you?
spk_0
Oh, oh no.
spk_0
How do you think we get away with all this?
spk_0
I thought you were smarter than that.
spk_0
I don't know.
spk_0
What are you talking about?
spk_0
We have a powerful friend.
spk_0
So if you're thinking of tattling to the headmaster, don't.
spk_0
He's already chosen his side.
spk_0
Eva will be expelled one way or another, but you can still save yourself.
spk_0
Make the smart choice.
spk_0
I'll go talk to her.
spk_0
Good.
spk_0
Your future at Bishop Gray will be decided tomorrow in front of the disciplinary board.
spk_0
No, I made a mistake. Please, I have to stay here.
spk_0
I have recommended expulsion.
spk_0
I'll live your lo-past. It's been a long time.
spk_0
It sure has scumbag. Why are you talking to me?
spk_0
Look, I should have stood up for you at your disciplinary hearing.
spk_0
I should have told the truth, but I was scared.
spk_0
I was a coward.
spk_0
If you're looking for forgiveness, you can save your breath.
spk_0
I don't need you to forgive me, but I do need your help.
spk_0
Why would I ever want to help you?
spk_0
I want to take August down once and for all.
spk_0
He burned me just like he burned you.
spk_0
You're still here, and I nearly died.
spk_0
So, it wasn't quite the same.
spk_0
I'll live you up. I'm serious about this.
spk_0
This is August's disconso's file.
spk_0
Every detention, every test score.
spk_0
I swiped it from the registrar's office looking for anything to take him down, but it's clean.
spk_0
Even when he was suspended freshman year, gone.
spk_0
Because he's working with the headmaster.
spk_0
You're just now.
spk_0
Running out about this?
spk_0
I know how much he liked you.
spk_0
He must have revealed something else about the headmaster, something vulnerable.
spk_0
Please.
spk_0
Every payment that goes to the night of the wolf, the headmaster takes a little bit off the top.
spk_0
And I know where he keeps his records.
spk_0
I'm listening.
spk_0
I'm sorry.
spk_0
Order for Anita Shlong.
spk_0
Sorry, who's it for? Just want to make sure.
spk_0
I already told you. I need a Shlong.
spk_0
Anita Shlong.
spk_0
You're class.
spk_0
Oh my god. You're so stupid.
spk_0
Eva, I'm not going to complain about your likeness
spk_0
because I already put in a request to the work study office for a new chef partner.
spk_0
But I cannot work register anymore today.
spk_0
People keep giving me fake names.
spk_0
I don't pick up on like, duke's enormous and my gauke's long.
spk_0
Everybody laughs and it stresses me out so much.
spk_0
No worries. I got you.
spk_0
Thank you.
spk_0
Did you really put in a request for a new work study partner?
spk_0
Yes. I did.
spk_0
I mean, I downloaded the PDF as a form, but I am seriously considering it.
spk_0
Well, I don't think you'll have to do that because this is going to be my last week at Bishop Gray.
spk_0
What? Really?
spk_0
Good to know.
spk_0
Charlotte, I'm so sorry.
spk_0
You've been nothing but super nice to me since the first day we met.
spk_0
I know there's a slim chance you forgive me because what I did was really, really shitty.
spk_0
Yep.
spk_0
And I feel really bad about it.
spk_0
As you should.
spk_0
But I do care about you.
spk_0
Your friendship means so much to me and I do anything to go back and undo what I did.
spk_0
I hope you know how amazing you are and that you deserve a better friend than me.
spk_0
You know, I thought you were better than all the shallow, back-stabbing, rich kids who have rejected my friendship over and over.
spk_0
You turned out to be just as bad as them.
spk_0
I know. I see what this place is done to me. I don't like it.
spk_0
And that's part of the reason why I'm leaving.
spk_0
But it's mostly because I'm getting expelled.
spk_0
What?
spk_0
Why?
spk_0
I fucked up a lot.
spk_0
I got involved with the Night of the Wolf, but it's some awful things.
spk_0
I stole files, I framed someone with drugs.
spk_0
I deserved to be expelled, but honestly.
spk_0
Hey, Father!
spk_0
No, you don't.
spk_0
Look, everybody makes mistakes, but that's sort of the point of high school.
spk_0
I mean, granted, most people don't like join a secret society and steal files and plan drugs.
spk_0
And being their best friend's ex, but you need to forgive yourself.
spk_0
There's gotta be something you can do to show that, Master, how badly you wanna stay here.
spk_0
There's nothing I can do.
spk_0
Hello?
spk_0
Eva, it's Noah. Don't hang up!
spk_0
I blocked you for a reason.
spk_0
And you know I have many burners. Look, I wanna help you.
spk_0
I think I've had enough of your help for the rest of my life.
spk_0
I heard about your meeting with the headmaster, and I have a plan.
spk_0
If you can stomach-sing my face, meet me and go for a toll at 10.
spk_0
And bring some friends. Trust some friends.
spk_0
All right, gather round, co-conspirators. This is Olivia Lopez.
spk_0
Hi, I'm Charlotte. So, Laila.
spk_0
Despite prior reports to the contrary, Olivia is not mentally unstable or delusional.
spk_0
And we can trust her.
spk_0
Wrong. I'm completely mentally unstable, but not delusional. Big difference.
spk_0
Right, you are. Now, Olivia's the key to this whole operation, so I give you the floor.
spk_0
Look, you wanna know how the night of the wolf operates under the radar?
spk_0
Because the headmaster allows it and participates.
spk_0
What?
spk_0
The headmaster and August are working together, skimming money from every client,
spk_0
going right into the headmaster's pocket.
spk_0
August told me the headmaster's records are kept in an old-fashioned handwritten ledger
spk_0
in a secret compartment of his desk, all manual to prevent hacking.
spk_0
You're sure about this. August saw it himself, but I'm not sure which secret compartment.
spk_0
So, our mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get into the headmaster's mansion tonight.
spk_0
Lucky for us, the Golden Bell silent auction will be happening with drunk wasps and work-study caterers,
spk_0
giving us the perfect cover to find that ledger.
spk_0
You want us to break into the headmaster's mansion and risk getting expelled?
spk_0
Laila, our best friend, Ava, is being unjustly persecuted
spk_0
and there's a criminal conspiracy at the heart of our beloved Bishop Gray.
spk_0
I don't know, man.
spk_0
Laila, are you serious?
spk_0
Your risk basically getting deported to so weed in your dorm, but Charlie,
spk_0
you won't help vindicate your unfailing, my friend.
spk_0
Dude, I'm in. I'm so in.
spk_0
Welcome to the Golden Bell auction.
spk_0
Please leave your coats with me and proceed to the great room to place your bids.
spk_0
Thank you.
spk_0
Ah, headmaster burrows.
spk_0
Helen, so glad you decided to extend your trip.
spk_0
Well, I couldn't miss what you described as the gala of the season and it doesn't disappoint.
spk_0
Is that what you're saying?
spk_0
The CEO of Deutsche Bank?
spk_0
Sure is. His daughter is a junior.
spk_0
Excellent. Well, let's shake some hands and make some asses.
spk_0
Back to her.
spk_0
Hey, Ava, over here.
spk_0
Come on, guys, let's go.
spk_0
Here, I got you guys some extra work, citicator and uniform, to blend in.
spk_0
Kaden!
spk_0
What are you doing here?
spk_0
I've been cooled in a favor.
spk_0
It's good to see you, sharp.
spk_0
I need the spray and prudetated gala out.
spk_0
We're trying to clean it.
spk_0
I'm coming!
spk_0
Just move fast and stay away from the great room.
spk_0
Got it. Kaden, I saw Gloria in the foyer.
spk_0
She's the only security guard on duty.
spk_0
So if you distract her, nobody will be patrolling by the headmaster's office.
spk_0
I'm on it!
spk_0
I'll catch you later.
spk_0
Double-okin' out.
spk_0
And Leila, you come with me.
spk_0
Dude, how'd you get Kaden to agree to this?
spk_0
I told him we needed him to flirt with Gloria to help us with the prank and he was like, say less, bro.
spk_0
Gloria!
spk_0
Fancy meeting you here.
spk_0
Oh, okay.
spk_0
You're not supposed to be here.
spk_0
What are you doing?
spk_0
Headmaster asked me to come livin' out the crowd.
spk_0
But I was distracted by you.
spk_0
So why?
spk_0
Did you get your hair cut?
spk_0
It's fantastic.
spk_0
Oh, stop it, Kaden.
spk_0
Philop, I've been amazed by your generous support of the Democracy Tomorrow Foundation.
spk_0
I know exactly who you need to eat.
spk_0
Helen Holmes.
spk_0
So good to meet you, Philop.
spk_0
Tell me, what gets you excited about supporting a political candidate?
spk_0
It's...right...
spk_0
Here, this store.
spk_0
It's locked.
spk_0
Leila, all you on it.
spk_0
This thing is complex.
spk_0
Where did you learn to pick locks?
spk_0
Oh my god, I followed this girl on TikTok called the lock bitch.
spk_0
She's incredible.
spk_0
Got it.
spk_0
Shit.
spk_0
Did you hear that?
spk_0
Down the hall?
spk_0
I'm sure it was nothing, Ron.
spk_0
Now, Philop, when your foundation allocates to a donations,
spk_0
is that done quarterly or annually?
spk_0
One second.
spk_0
Just going to check on my office.
spk_0
Hurry back.
spk_0
You're amazing.
spk_0
I got it from here.
spk_0
I.I. Captain.
spk_0
Oh my god, my hands are so much thicker than yours.
spk_0
You know what they say about big hands?
spk_0
Big hot.
spk_0
You're so bad.
spk_0
Pardon me, Gloria.
spk_0
Am I interrupting something?
spk_0
All right, Noah.
spk_0
I'm in the office.
spk_0
Walk me through the possibilities.
spk_0
Check for drop-down drawers first on the right and the left.
spk_0
Both empty.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Look at the interior prospect doors.
spk_0
There should be a false bottom or a false rear panel.
spk_0
Rear panel is empty.
spk_0
Maybe it's behind one of these books.
spk_0
God, how many copies of Atlas shrugged is one guy need?
spk_0
Gloria, please resume your rounds.
spk_0
Guests tend to wander off of these gallows.
spk_0
Of course.
spk_0
Headmaster.
spk_0
And you.
spk_0
Katen Cardoso.
spk_0
What are you doing here?
spk_0
This event is only open to students on work study.
spk_0
Oh, is it?
spk_0
I don't know, Claire.
spk_0
How did you get in here?
spk_0
How did I get in here?
spk_0
Well, you know, it's actually quite a funny story.
spk_0
Did you hear that?
spk_0
Hey, what?
spk_0
The distant soft lull of conversation.
spk_0
It's quite peaceful.
spk_0
Don't move.
spk_0
Stay right here.
spk_0
Shit.
spk_0
It's not in that drawer either.
spk_0
Eva, that's all the hidden compartments I have any record of.
spk_0
If you haven't found it, then just get out now.
spk_0
Olivia Swart, it was here.
spk_0
It has to be.
spk_0
Something so important to him.
spk_0
There.
spk_0
The Blue J.
spk_0
Noah, I found the ledger.
spk_0
Oh, my God.
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
Shit.
spk_0
The headmaster's coming in.
spk_0
Hide on the closet.
spk_0
I've already discovered Caden Codoso, who will expose you in no time.
spk_0
Come out now before I call campus security.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
You leave me no choice.
spk_0
The search continues in the closet.
spk_0
Damn cleaning people.
spk_0
Ron, what are you doing?
spk_0
I thought I heard someone in my office.
spk_0
And now the closet is locked.
spk_0
You're getting paranoid from stress.
spk_0
Come on.
spk_0
The Schumers are waiting to tell you about their trip to Malta.
spk_0
Of course.
spk_0
After you, Helen.
spk_0
Oh, my God.
spk_0
Eva, you did it.
spk_0
Hell yeah.
spk_0
Holy shit.
spk_0
Holy shit.
spk_0
Holy shit.
spk_0
Noah, look.
spk_0
Here's the ledger.
spk_0
And a whole lot more.
spk_0
Beautiful.
spk_0
Let's see if Olivia was right.
spk_0
Or if we're all going to be expelled.
spk_0
Wait, wait.
spk_0
I'm looking for Ocean's 8.
spk_0
Now I might find them.
spk_0
Caden, you made it out.
spk_0
Headmaster gave me a weak of detention for sneaking into the party, but I can do that time of my eyes closed.
spk_0
Caden, thank you so much for helping out.
spk_0
Oh, no, a fan saved it, but I didn't do it for you.
spk_0
Aw, he did it for me.
spk_0
Thanks for flirting with Gloria.
spk_0
I heard it was very convincing.
spk_0
I only have eyes for one lady.
spk_0
Very petite lady with perfectly perky boobs.
spk_0
Oh my God, stop, Caden.
spk_0
Charlotte, I want you back.
spk_0
I know I was clinging in possessive, but.
spk_0
Are my own man now?
spk_0
Caden, we should have never broken up.
spk_0
I've been so hungry for you.
spk_0
Oh, Shaba, get on my back Twilight Star.
spk_0
We're going back to my dorm where I'm going to worship that body.
spk_0
Like the Pope worships Jesus.
spk_0
But better.
spk_0
Ro, I gotta take a shower after that.
spk_0
I got it.
spk_0
Eva, look.
spk_0
Cash deposits made to the headmaster by August Disconso for student fees.
spk_0
Happening weekly for years.
spk_0
So that's it.
spk_0
We got him, right?
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Wait.
spk_0
There's more here.
spk_0
These records show that the headmaster is depositing these funds.
spk_0
Into a super pack.
spk_0
Look.
spk_0
It's a political action committee called
spk_0
When New Hampshire.
spk_0
And the registration for the super pack says it was developed for the purpose of
spk_0
Holy shit.
spk_0
Oh my God.
spk_0
So that's why Amber's mom has been on campus.
spk_0
She must be helping him out.
spk_0
The rot goes straight to the top.
spk_0
If we expose this, then Amber's mom is going down too.
spk_0
Sure is.
spk_0
Um, hi.
spk_0
Hi, Amber.
spk_0
How are you doing?
spk_0
Fine.
spk_0
What are you doing here?
spk_0
I...
spk_0
Wow.
spk_0
Not really sure what to start.
spk_0
Can I come inside?
spk_0
It's kind of late.
spk_0
This is important.
spk_0
Really important.
spk_0
Please.
spk_0
Come on in.
spk_0
Are you sad?
spk_0
They suspended the list?
spk_0
I guess.
spk_0
Not really.
spk_0
It...
spk_0
It doesn't really seem that important anymore.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
This is going to sound insane, so I just need to go back to where it all started.
spk_0
They approached me the first week of school I needed money and they helped me out.
spk_0
And then I got into deep...
spk_0
spk_0
They...
spk_0
Who's they?
spk_0
The Knight of the Wolf.
spk_0
Haha.
spk_0
So this whole time I've known you from Square One, you were lying to me.
spk_0
That's not what it was when you had come to my dorm to study with me.
spk_0
And then turn around and sell those notes to the highest bidder.
spk_0
It wasn't anything like that.
spk_0
I...
spk_0
I don't know how everything got so messed up.
spk_0
I was so happy when you wanted to be my friend, but I had to hide all of this from you.
spk_0
I wanted to be just like you, but I didn't have the connections or the parents or the money.
spk_0
I don't care.
spk_0
Get the fuck out of my room.
spk_0
The Knight of the Wolf burned me.
spk_0
I'm going to be expelled tomorrow.
spk_0
And when I was trying to clear my name, I found something about your mom.
spk_0
And the headmaster.
spk_0
What are you talking about?
spk_0
You're not going to believe me.
spk_0
So just look.
spk_0
What is this?
spk_0
I found these documents in the headmaster's office.
spk_0
They're pretty incriminating.
spk_0
And your mom's name is on some of them.
spk_0
I need to show this to the disciplinary board tomorrow or I'll be expelled.
spk_0
But there are going to be consequences for this coming out.
spk_0
Like, criminal consequences.
spk_0
This is fucking insane.
spk_0
It's like millions.
spk_0
I know.
spk_0
So why are you here?
spk_0
Do you want permission to rat my mom out?
spk_0
I know I lied about a lot, Amber.
spk_0
I was a shitty friend.
spk_0
I dated your ex and I wasn't exactly nice to you after that.
spk_0
But you were my first friend here.
spk_0
And I know you get competitive.
spk_0
Maybe too competitive.
spk_0
But you believe in something.
spk_0
I know you do.
spk_0
If you think I'm wrong about your mom, then I won't take this any further.
spk_0
I mean, maybe this wouldn't even make a difference.
spk_0
And I should just own up to what I've done.
spk_0
You know, I wanted a Moana birthday party when I was 11.
spk_0
I sang the songs every morning when I woke up.
spk_0
All I wanted was to wear her costume and have my dad dress up like Maui.
spk_0
That's all I wanted.
spk_0
No ponies or Ferris wheels like my other parties.
spk_0
But my mom said that Disney parties were tacky.
spk_0
And we weren't tacky people.
spk_0
And I cried and cried in my room because I thought that if I really did want a Moana party, that meant I was tacky.
spk_0
And I was never going to be as refined, fancy and perfect as her.
spk_0
Do what you have to do to survive Ava.
spk_0
That's what I would do.
spk_0
I don't know if I can.
spk_0
You deserve to be here more than anyone else.
spk_0
This old time just leave it all behind.
spk_0
It was going to cry when you're gone.
spk_0
The board is carefully reviewed your records.
spk_0
Is there anything else you wish to share with us before we make our final determination?
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
I've dreamed of coming to Bishop Gray since I was a little girl.
spk_0
I loved going to school so much that I googled what the best school was.
spk_0
And Bishop Gray was ranked number one.
spk_0
I spent hours pouring over the website comparing these beautiful brick buildings to my beige decrepit middle school.
spk_0
I imagined everything I could achieve here.
spk_0
Number one on the list, the envy of a whole student body.
spk_0
But my time here hasn't been like that at all.
spk_0
This is about $28,000 and half of what my mom makes in a year teaching second grade.
spk_0
And it's everything that I earned in three months at Bishop Gray working for the night of the wolf.
spk_0
One week after arriving at Bishop Gray, members of the Secret Society approached me, offering to make life possible here for someone like me.
spk_0
But they blackmailed and extorted me.
spk_0
They made me lie, cheat, and steal for their clients.
spk_0
And worst of all, I fell behind in my own classes.
spk_0
So I used the night of the wolf's files to cheat and earn the highest score on Dr. Krauss' chem test.
spk_0
Ms. Richards, this appears to be a deep pattern of dishonesty.
spk_0
If that's all you have to share, our determination will be briefed.
spk_0
There's one more thing.
spk_0
The night of the wolf was able to abuse me and so many other students because their power comes from the top.
spk_0
I don't understand what you mean.
spk_0
All right, I would like to remind everyone to take this testimony with a grain of salt.
spk_0
As Ms. Richards is motivated...
spk_0
The headmaster is working with the night of the wolf.
spk_0
He takes a cut of every payment that the clients make.
spk_0
Eva, my compensation does not need to be supported by imaginary secrets of society.
spk_0
What would you need that money for anyways?
spk_0
Some sort of pet project or campaign?
spk_0
Do you want to tell them headmaster or should I?
spk_0
Ron, what is she talking about?
spk_0
Look, I was going to announce it this week, so it's hardly a secret.
spk_0
Ms. Richards is referring to my nascent campaign for governor of New Hampshire.
spk_0
It has no connection to this matter.
spk_0
Chairman, would you mind taking one and passing these along?
spk_0
It wouldn't make sense to just take 15% of the night of the wolf's gross.
spk_0
But when you add in skimming 7% of the scholarship fund,
spk_0
8% of this year's alumni donation pool,
spk_0
and a 10th of a percent of the endowment,
spk_0
you get something like...
spk_0
Do you mind reading that number?
spk_0
12.3 million dollars.
spk_0
All that embezzled money was funneled into a super pack
spk_0
called Wind New Hampshire, registered by yours truly.
spk_0
Ron Burrows.
spk_0
This is completely specious and flanderous.
spk_0
I'll take this.
spk_0
Is there any proof to what she's saying?
spk_0
No.
spk_0
I mean, yes, I am running a campaign,
spk_0
but my super pack is completely legitimate.
spk_0
I can explain.
spk_0
Shannon, please call her counsel at McKinnon and Farbs.
spk_0
Eva, please wait outside.
spk_0
Ron, take a seat.
spk_0
It's your man Nick Cannon.
spk_0
I'm here to bring you my new podcast, Nick Cannon at night.
spk_0
I've heard y'all been using some advice in the love department.
spk_0
So who better to help than yours truly?
spk_0
Now I'm serious.
spk_0
Every week I'm bringing out some of my celebrity friends
spk_0

spk_0

spk_0
Having problems with your man?
spk_0
We got you.
spk_0
Catching feelings for your sneaky link?
spk_0
Let's make sure it's the real deal first.
spk_0
Ready to bring toys into the bedroom?
spk_0
Let's talk about it.
spk_0
Consider this a non-judgment zone to ask your questions.
spk_0
When it comes to sex and modern dating and relationships,
spk_0
friendships, situations, and everything in between.
spk_0
It's going to be sexy, freaky, messy, and...
spk_0
Know what?
spk_0
You'll just have to watch this show.
spk_0
So don't be shy.
spk_0

Two Birmingham pubs killing 21 innocent people.
spk_0
Hundreds more rinsed.
spk_0
It was the worst attack on British soil since the Second World War.
spk_0
When a crime this appalling and shocking happens,
spk_0
you want the police to act quickly.
spk_0
And boy did they.
spk_0
The very next day they had six men in custody.
spk_0
Confessions followed and the men were sent down for life.
spk_0
Good riddance you might think, except those men were innocent.
spk_0
Join me, Matt Ford.
spk_0
And me, Alice Levine.
spk_0
For the latest series of British scandal all about the Birmingham Six.

Good afternoon, Bishop Gray.
spk_0
This is Dr. Wells.
spk_0
I hope you're all enjoying your final day on campus before I went to recess.
spk_0
Despite the tumultuous semester that we have been through,
spk_0
I want each and every one of you to know that Bishop Gray has never been strong.
spk_0
I'm Parker Safer and we're ready to prepare you to be the leaders of tomorrow.
spk_0
I say that with utmost confidence as I'm proud to announce
spk_0
that I'll be serving as interim headmaster.
spk_0
While headmaster Murrow's takes an evil vapses for the next semester.
spk_0
We take headmaster Murrow's greatest time at Bishop Gray.
spk_0
And we'll show you a little power of awesome sanity.
spk_0
All right, all right.
spk_0
Before the boss of Trin completely leaves the station,
spk_0
I would like to acknowledge what we, the students against harmful decisions,
spk_0
have accomplished this semester.
spk_0
Under our watch, they've been decreased 12%, only three students have their stomachs pumped
spk_0
and Marcus organized a harrowing lecture series about hard drug use in euphoria.
spk_0
I still have nightmares about rules with draws.
spk_0
All right, gang. Till next year, enjoy the Virgin Egg Knock.
spk_0
Hi, Talia.
spk_0
Leila.
spk_0
Hey, your hours have been signed off. I already sent in the paperwork.
spk_0
Yeah, I know. I've been thinking a lot about myself.
spk_0
And who I want to be.
spk_0
What I want to do.
spk_0
And I think I'm going to try this new crazy trip called...
spk_0
...surriding.
spk_0
Really?
spk_0
It's been a couple days now. Hold on strong.
spk_0
And how long do you think this will last?
spk_0
For a little while, at least.
spk_0
I want to see what life is like on the other side.
spk_0
Thus far, it has been tough. Let me tell you.
spk_0
Well, think it's better.
spk_0
You're literally like a walking Trevor project.
spk_0
Thank you. But if you're doing this for me or something, that's a bad reason.
spk_0
So, I know.
spk_0
Because I barely get stoned off of a blunt anymore and I need my tolerance to go down.
spk_0
Leila.
spk_0
Kidding.
spk_0
I just...
spk_0
I sort of understand what you're saying about getting high every day.
spk_0
And just...
spk_0
...checking out of life.
spk_0
I thought about how much of my time I've spent here alone.
spk_0
High in my room while people like you are out here making connections.
spk_0
Helping people.
spk_0
And I just...
spk_0
I want to do more.
spk_0
Well, Leila.
spk_0
I'm really proud of you for taking this step.
spk_0
Yeah, and don't worry, I'm not playing the long game.
spk_0
It's not like, oh, I'm sober now so you have to date me.
spk_0
I want to be the person that deserves you.
spk_0
Leila, I'm still trying to figure out some things out about myself right now.
spk_0
Oh, okay.
spk_0
Yeah, well, maybe after we come back from winter break, we can hang out as friends.
spk_0
Or more.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Maybe.
spk_0
August?
spk_0
Yes, Dr. Wells.
spk_0
Sorry.
spk_0
Headmaster Wells.
spk_0
These police officers need to speak with you.
spk_0
Excuse me.
spk_0
August, Disconsum.
spk_0
Good afternoon, officers.
spk_0
You're under arrest for distribution of child pornography.
spk_0
What?
spk_0
Sir, please turn around, place your hands.
spk_0
No, no, no, you've made him to say, please, please, just let me explain.
spk_0
Please.
spk_0
You notified your mother, August.
spk_0
She'll meet you at the police station.
spk_0
My mother?
spk_0
No, no, no.
spk_0
Ow, you're pitching me, you're pitching me.
spk_0
Stop, please, please, no, no, no, no, no, please, please.
spk_0
Talk to Noah, Noah, over there, please.
spk_0
Hey, Olivia.
spk_0
Pretty cool, huh?
spk_0
Seeing that asshole in cuffs.
spk_0
Holy shit.
spk_0
You actually did it.
spk_0
They never listened to me.
spk_0
And they should have.
spk_0
Just like, I should have.
spk_0
Sorry isn't close to enough, but maybe this helps.
spk_0
I still think you're a morally bankrupt rat, but it does.
spk_0
Thanks.
spk_0
Come in.
spk_0
Come in.
spk_0
Take a seat, Eva.
spk_0
You've had a hell of a semester here.
spk_0
I know.
spk_0
I admire the strength of your character.
spk_0
I really do.
spk_0
And nothing to say of your investigation into headmaster burrows.
spk_0
Did he get arrested?
spk_0
The school's handling that internally for now.
spk_0
But he won't be returning to Bishop Gray ever.
spk_0
Now, in regards to your disciplinary hearing,
spk_0
the board was impressed with your integrity to fully confess
spk_0
and return the money you wrongfully gained.
spk_0
And thus, you will be allowed to remain at Bishop Gray.
spk_0
Thank you so much, Dr. Wells.
spk_0
You don't understand what this means to me.
spk_0
However, due to your fraudulent essay, the Hallowell Scholarship has been revoked.
spk_0
What?
spk_0
But I can't.
spk_0
The board has decided to use your confiscated money from the night of the wolf
spk_0
to pay your tuition for next semester.
spk_0
Added to your prize from winning hidden Bishop,
spk_0
I understand that will be enough to meet the balance.
spk_0
But after next semester, you're on your own.
spk_0
Do you understand?
spk_0
Yes, I do.
spk_0
I can only trust that you'll remain on the straight and narrow from here on out.
spk_0
The night of the wolf, as you understand it, will no longer exist.
spk_0
Of course.
spk_0
I feel very lucky to be here.
spk_0
I do too.
spk_0
That's all for now, Eva.
spk_0
Happy holidays.
spk_0
You too, Dr. Wells.
spk_0
Hello, hello.
spk_0
Oh, Eva.
spk_0
Am I interrupting?
spk_0
I was just leaving.
spk_0
Noah, did you tell her?
spk_0
What?
spk_0
No, no, of course not.
spk_0
She just thinks I have a crush on you, which I do.
spk_0
Is there a reason for your visit?
spk_0
What's going on with the headmaster?
spk_0
Indicted for embezzlement.
spk_0
Oh my God.
spk_0
And what about all the kids who were paying the night of the wolf?
spk_0
Are they all getting expelled?
spk_0
They've been suspended for the next semester.
spk_0
And Augustus Descanso was arrested for child pornography.
spk_0
Noah, if you knew about that, why wouldn't you tell me?
spk_0
I thought I was like, you know, high school stuff.
spk_0
No, this is really serious.
spk_0
And now, you and I need to end things.
spk_0
Very funny.
spk_0
Look at you.
spk_0
Headmaster.
spk_0
The desk looks good on you.
spk_0
And I might just look good on it.
spk_0
Noah, stop.
spk_0
I heard you have a secret bathroom in here too.
spk_0
Oh, I'd love to make you so bad.
spk_0
I said stop.
spk_0
Okay, fine.
spk_0
We'll just stick to the mansion's bedrooms.
spk_0
What other 12?
spk_0
Noah, what the fuck is wrong with you?
spk_0
I...
spk_0
I was just kidding.
spk_0
Do you have any idea the legal jeopardy that this school is in right now?
spk_0
If anyone finds out about us, if they found out I've known you were in the night of the wolf,
spk_0
I'm done.
spk_0
I'll never teach again.
spk_0
Everyone on campus is looking to me for guidance.
spk_0
And there's too much at stake.
spk_0
You need to stay away.
spk_0
This is over, Noah.
spk_0
Just like that?
spk_0
Because you're afraid some people might find out.
spk_0
I'm not trying to hurt you.
spk_0
Well, you don't need to try.
spk_0
I'm fine.
spk_0
I'll see you around.
spk_0
Noah.
spk_0
Ava!
spk_0
Ava!
spk_0
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!
spk_0
Fuck!
spk_0
Oh, Ava!
spk_0
Guess who I just saw on his way out of town.
spk_0
Guess who's back here on campus, but not anymore.
spk_0
So you need to go run and catch up with him now, now, now.
spk_0
Slow down, Charlotte.
spk_0
I just saw Jesse.
spk_0
He was loading up the stuff from Slane to go to the train station
spk_0
and you have to go sprint after him to catch him.
spk_0
Well, I'll just...
spk_0
I'll text him first to make sure.
spk_0
I see you bringin' to Enricher Gear and Chris Pine didn't text first.
spk_0
They ran!
spk_0
Go!
spk_0
Catch your love!
spk_0
He's taking the Vermont her.
spk_0
Thank you, Charlotte.
spk_0
Love you!
spk_0
I love love!
spk_0
Excuse me.
spk_0
What train is this?
spk_0
This is the Vermont her.
spk_0
It leaves in five minutes.
spk_0
Thank you.
spk_0
Jesse?
spk_0
Jesse?
spk_0
Jesse, wait.
spk_0
Ava?
spk_0
What are you?
spk_0
Jesse, I had to see you before you left.
spk_0
Ava, the train's about to leave.
spk_0
That's okay.
spk_0
I'll be quick.
spk_0
I just wanted to say, well, first off, a ton of shit went down.
spk_0
The headmaster was arrested.
spk_0
The night of the wolf was exposed, and I lost my scholarship.
spk_0
Wait, what?
spk_0
But the point is...
spk_0
Jesse, I was stupid.
spk_0
I want to be with you.
spk_0
This is like...
spk_0
So, Casablanca, right?
spk_0
A minus the asthma attack.
spk_0
Jesse, I know I fucked up badly.
spk_0
Like, a million different ways this semester.
spk_0
But...
spk_0
I want you.
spk_0
And only you.
spk_0
I just...
spk_0
I don't think we're on the same page, right?
spk_0
I mean, you're still focused on the future.
spk_0
And I'm focused on right now.
spk_0
You think we can't be together because I'm not chill enough?
spk_0
Excuse me, ma'am. Do you have a ticket?
spk_0
No, I'm about to get off.
spk_0
I just need to talk to him real quick.
spk_0
Train's leaving.
spk_0
Well, I'll be done soon, okay?
spk_0
Look, Jesse, we can talk about this later.
spk_0
But...
spk_0
I'm just saying...
spk_0
I am happy that you're here right now.
spk_0
Just being on the train with you, sitting, talking, watching you be anxious at me.
spk_0
I mean, that...
spk_0
Oh, that makes me really happy.
spk_0
But if you're so worried about the future, our future, and your future,
spk_0
then how can you be happy right now?
spk_0
I have to ask you to leave.
spk_0
One sec.
spk_0
Ma'am, buy a ticket now or get off the train.
spk_0
Okay, I'll buy a ticket.
spk_0
Where to?
spk_0
You know what? It doesn't matter.
spk_0
So, end of the line.
spk_0
Sure.
spk_0
Alright, here you go.
spk_0
Eva, the end of the line costs like $200.
spk_0
What?
spk_0
Fuck.
spk_0
You're gonna be so overdrawn.
spk_0
Don't worry about it.
spk_0
I got you.
spk_0
Yeah?
spk_0
You got me?
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Wait.
spk_0
You got something right here.
spk_0
Yeah, you do.
spk_0
No, this...
spk_0
...in eyelash.
spk_0
Thanks.
spk_0
Don't worry.
spk_0
I've got you.

On Boxing Day 2018, 20-year-old Joy Morgan was last seen at her touch, Israel United in Christ, or IUIC.
spk_0
I just went on my Snapchat and I just see her face, lasted everywhere.
spk_0
This is the missing sister, the true story of a woman betrayed by those she trusted most.
spk_0
IUIC is my family and like the best family that I've ever had.
spk_0
But IUIC isn't like most churches.
spk_0
This is a devil that's cold.
spk_0
You know when you get that feeling right, you just, I don't want to be here.
spk_0
I want to go out.
spk_0
