<i>Previously on Veronica Mars:</i>

2
00:00:02,602 --> 00:00:04,570
I can do this.
I can kick this on my own.

3
00:00:04,738 --> 00:00:08,469
There is nothing 12 weeks in here
can do that I can't do myself.

4
00:00:08,641 --> 00:00:10,074
I want you to come home.

5
00:00:10,410 --> 00:00:11,741
I miss you.

6
00:00:13,780 --> 00:00:15,008
God, Veronica.

7
00:00:15,181 --> 00:00:18,116
- I don't know what you saw.
- A file on Duncan.

8
00:00:18,284 --> 00:00:21,014
Obviously, Jake and Celeste
lied about their alibis.

9
00:00:21,187 --> 00:00:24,987
What made you think they were
involved in covering up Lilly's death?

10
00:00:26,693 --> 00:00:28,251
You doing some laundry?

11
00:00:30,463 --> 00:00:32,158
Honey...

12
00:00:32,332 --> 00:00:34,960
...it was a soccer uniform
I found in the dryer.

13
00:00:49,349 --> 00:00:52,841
Any chance I'm ever gonna get
to see the inside of your apartment?

14
00:00:53,853 --> 00:00:56,344
And what, exactly,
are you hoping to see?

15
00:00:56,523 --> 00:00:59,014
Our good china? The screening room?

16
00:00:59,192 --> 00:01:02,889
I wanted to get a really good, long look
at your bedroom ceiling.

17
00:01:03,063 --> 00:01:05,531
Wow, college girls must be easy.

18
00:01:05,932 --> 00:01:08,867
This is my A material. They swoon.

19
00:01:09,769 --> 00:01:11,794
My dad's home.
I saw his car outside.

20
00:01:12,238 --> 00:01:14,001
But he's cool with us, right?

21
00:01:14,174 --> 00:01:18,634
Like, has he made a couple of remarks
about the 29-month age difference?

22
00:01:18,812 --> 00:01:20,803
He has. On the other hand...

23
00:01:20,980 --> 00:01:23,210
...he likes the fact
that you carry a gun.

24
00:01:23,383 --> 00:01:27,911
Not so much that he's okay to sleep over,
but, yeah, he likes you.

25
00:01:31,458 --> 00:01:33,050
I'll call you tomorrow.

26
00:01:33,460 --> 00:01:34,950
- Later, deputy.
- Later.

27
00:01:41,267 --> 00:01:45,761
The "pretend to be digging in the fridge
rather than spying on your daughter" ploy?

28
00:01:45,939 --> 00:01:47,167
Bravo.

29
00:01:47,340 --> 00:01:50,571
- Veronica, we need to talk.
- He's a fine gentleman, Pa.

30
00:01:50,743 --> 00:01:53,803
He'll come up with a dowry
to marry me, just you wait.

31
00:01:53,980 --> 00:01:56,005
But seriously, folks. Sit down.

32
00:01:58,885 --> 00:02:01,752
I know how uncomfortable you are
with the idea of me dating...

33
00:02:01,921 --> 00:02:04,890
...and I've done everything in my power
to respect that.

34
00:02:05,058 --> 00:02:07,219
But your mom's been gone
for over a year now.

35
00:02:07,393 --> 00:02:09,384
- You met someone?
- I have.

36
00:02:09,762 --> 00:02:13,562
I didn't wanna say anything until
I was sure I had feelings for this person.

37
00:02:13,933 --> 00:02:19,132
- Alicia and I talked about it, and...
- What? Who? Alicia? Wallace's mom?

38
00:02:19,305 --> 00:02:21,068
- Say what?
- Well, from your reaction...

39
00:02:21,241 --> 00:02:23,641
...I'd say you heard me just fine.

40
00:03:05,785 --> 00:03:07,810
On the bright side...

41
00:03:07,987 --> 00:03:11,445
...if our parents get hitched, we could
have bunk beds and talk all night.

42
00:03:11,624 --> 00:03:13,854
- You're sick.
- I've wanted a little brother...

43
00:03:14,027 --> 00:03:16,791
...I could dress up like a little doll.
- Yeah?

44
00:03:17,363 --> 00:03:19,331
See how that works out for you.

45
00:03:35,882 --> 00:03:37,372
<i>Dear Seventeen magazine...</i>

46
00:03:37,550 --> 00:03:40,485
<i>...how can I tell if the super-cute boy
in my class likes me?</i>

47
00:03:40,987 --> 00:03:42,318
<i>No. Scratch that.</i>

48
00:03:42,488 --> 00:03:44,012
<i>Dear Seventeen...</i>

49
00:03:44,190 --> 00:03:47,956
<i>...how can I tell if the super-cute boy
in my class killed his own sister?</i>

50
00:03:48,661 --> 00:03:51,494
Come on, buckaroos,
we're burning daylight here.

51
00:03:52,799 --> 00:03:56,963
<i>A new edition of the Navigator comes out
tomorrow, and we're still short on articles.</i>

52
00:03:57,370 --> 00:03:59,463
Let's do something fun.

53
00:03:59,839 --> 00:04:04,037
How about OxyContin replacing ecstasy as
the drug of choice for high school students?

54
00:04:04,210 --> 00:04:06,201
Your parents don't wanna read
about drugs...

55
00:04:06,379 --> 00:04:08,711
...at the school where they send
their little ones.

56
00:04:08,881 --> 00:04:10,906
I thought the newspaper
was for the students.

57
00:04:11,084 --> 00:04:14,417
Where's your Pirate pride, y'all?
Lots of good stuff happens here.

58
00:04:14,587 --> 00:04:18,114
Did you know that Madame Merceaux
has been teaching French for 40 years now?

59
00:04:18,291 --> 00:04:20,555
Maybe someone could do
an in-depth profile?

60
00:04:20,727 --> 00:04:22,718
A loving tribute to a sadistic crone.

61
00:04:22,895 --> 00:04:26,729
The janitors work so hard, and no one
even pays attention to them.

62
00:04:27,066 --> 00:04:29,432
- Maybe we could do something on them?
- Maybe.

63
00:04:30,236 --> 00:04:33,694
Oh, what is with these fire drills?
This is the third one this week.

64
00:04:33,873 --> 00:04:37,604
Maybe we should do a story on OxyContin
use in the administration office.

65
00:04:37,777 --> 00:04:41,213
Okay, Pirates. Single file, straight line.

66
00:04:41,614 --> 00:04:45,948
Heads up, chest out, big smiles.
Ready? Okay.

67
00:04:49,622 --> 00:04:52,090
You know what?
There's a good story for you.

68
00:04:52,258 --> 00:04:54,920
- The fire drills.
- A fire-drill story?

69
00:04:55,094 --> 00:04:57,119
Someone alert the Pulitzer committee.

70
00:04:57,297 --> 00:05:00,755
You'll find a way to make it interesting.
I believe in you.

71
00:05:01,501 --> 00:05:04,129
- Not exactly Ms. Dent, is she?
- Not even close.

72
00:05:04,304 --> 00:05:07,671
She was overly peppy as my pep-squad
advisor. As a journalism teacher...

73
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:09,865
...she's a nightmare.
- Many stories about...

74
00:05:10,043 --> 00:05:12,876
...bake sales and blue ribbons.
- Why, oh, why did Ms. Dent...

75
00:05:13,046 --> 00:05:14,411
...let herself get knocked up?

76
00:05:15,014 --> 00:05:17,505
So, what's the skinny
on the fire drills, Mr. C?

77
00:05:17,684 --> 00:05:21,484
Faulty hot plate in the faculty lounge?
Gremlin gumming up the works?

78
00:05:21,654 --> 00:05:26,057
No, we're simply following the district-wide
policy for mid-semester fire drills.

79
00:05:26,225 --> 00:05:28,716
We let ourselves get a bit behind.

80
00:05:29,128 --> 00:05:32,222
Really? Because if memory serves,
it was, like, one or two a year.

81
00:05:32,398 --> 00:05:34,889
There have been three this week alone.

82
00:05:35,068 --> 00:05:38,333
I'm sorry there's not a more
entertaining explanation.

83
00:05:38,938 --> 00:05:40,963
It's just district policy.

84
00:05:41,974 --> 00:05:44,966
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some
paperwork to catch up on.

85
00:05:50,183 --> 00:05:53,744
- How's the story coming?
- Blowing the lid off the fire-safety policy.

86
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,321
Hey, do you know how I can find out
what the official district mandate is?

87
00:05:57,490 --> 00:06:00,823
Have you spoken to Ms. Rauch?
She's the assistant superintendent.

88
00:06:00,993 --> 00:06:04,520
She's definitely your source.
I think I have her number.

89
00:06:05,565 --> 00:06:06,793
- Here.
- May I?

90
00:06:06,966 --> 00:06:08,194
Of course.

91
00:06:16,209 --> 00:06:19,076
<i>- Ellen Rauch.
- Ms. Rauch, this is Veronica Mars.</i>

92
00:06:19,245 --> 00:06:22,908
<i>I'm doing an article for the Navigator,
the school paper at Neptune High.</i>

93
00:06:23,082 --> 00:06:25,880
<i>- How can I help you?
- I just wanted to clarify something.</i>

94
00:06:26,052 --> 00:06:29,510
How many fire drills does the district
mandate each semester?

95
00:06:29,689 --> 00:06:31,919
<i>Just one is our policy.</i>

96
00:06:39,732 --> 00:06:41,461
Something wrong, Corny?

97
00:06:41,634 --> 00:06:43,932
Yeah, I came to get something
out of my locker...

98
00:06:44,404 --> 00:06:46,429
...but I can't remember what it was.

99
00:06:48,674 --> 00:06:52,542
Hey, I was thinking about busting out
of here, maybe go to White Castle.

100
00:06:52,945 --> 00:06:54,435
Wanna come with?

101
00:06:54,614 --> 00:06:56,206
There's no White Castle in Neptune.

102
00:06:56,549 --> 00:06:58,449
It's kind of an expression.

103
00:06:59,919 --> 00:07:01,648
What's wrong?

104
00:07:03,856 --> 00:07:05,346
Oh, crap.

105
00:07:10,463 --> 00:07:12,158
Okay, well, I'll check that door.

106
00:07:21,441 --> 00:07:23,033
How's he holding up?

107
00:07:29,816 --> 00:07:33,445
Excuse me, Mr. Clemmons.
That's Ellen Rauch, from the district office.

108
00:07:37,790 --> 00:07:39,917
<i>- Hello.
- Van, I received a call...</i>

109
00:07:40,092 --> 00:07:43,892
<i>...from a very pushy student of yours
who's doing a newspaper story.</i>

110
00:07:44,063 --> 00:07:47,794
Yes, I know the girl that you're talking
about. She should never have called you.

111
00:07:47,967 --> 00:07:50,800
<i>Well, she did, and she has quite
a fresh attitude.</i>

112
00:07:50,970 --> 00:07:54,371
Yes, I spend half my waking hours
trying to keep her out of my hair.

113
00:07:54,540 --> 00:07:58,636
<i>She gave the impression that you've
been exceeding your fire-drill limits.</i>

114
00:07:58,811 --> 00:08:00,608
No.

115
00:08:01,013 --> 00:08:04,710
Look, I've been trying to keep this under
my hat, but we have had a series of...

116
00:08:04,884 --> 00:08:08,479
...bomb threats,
and as a precautionary measure...

117
00:08:08,654 --> 00:08:10,588
...I brought in the bomb squad.

118
00:08:11,858 --> 00:08:14,418
Well, that's very disturbing news,
Mr. Clemmons.

119
00:08:14,594 --> 00:08:16,926
Please let us know if there's
anything we can do.

120
00:08:27,373 --> 00:08:31,434
- You're positive about this, Veronica?
- Mr. Clemmons confirmed it. It's accurate.

121
00:08:31,611 --> 00:08:33,476
But is it responsible?

122
00:08:33,646 --> 00:08:36,342
This is exactly what newspapers
are supposed to do.

123
00:08:38,651 --> 00:08:41,779
Then what are we waiting for?
We're burning daylight here.

124
00:08:42,989 --> 00:08:45,457
Are you kidding me?
This is supposed to be for real?

125
00:08:45,625 --> 00:08:48,093
- Dude, it's right on the front page.
- Are you staying?

126
00:08:48,261 --> 00:08:51,094
I'm going home. Rather not be here
when the school blows up.

127
00:08:51,264 --> 00:08:52,959
Okay, I'm going with you.

128
00:08:55,434 --> 00:08:58,369
You won't believe how insane
the administration office is.

129
00:08:58,538 --> 00:09:01,405
Phones ringing off the hook,
parents going off on Clemmons.

130
00:09:01,574 --> 00:09:03,974
- He wants to see you, by the way.
- He does?

131
00:09:04,143 --> 00:09:06,111
I'm starting to think
he has a crush on me.

132
00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:08,747
Let me be clear as I explain something.

133
00:09:08,915 --> 00:09:12,146
<i>The Neptune Navigator
is not The Washington Post.</i>

134
00:09:12,318 --> 00:09:15,014
You don't have carte blanche
to print whatever you choose.

135
00:09:15,187 --> 00:09:17,417
- Was the story inaccurate?
- That's not the issue.

136
00:09:17,590 --> 00:09:19,217
- It's not?
- No, it's not.

137
00:09:19,692 --> 00:09:23,992
Our very real duty to protect the student
body trumps your nonexistent right...

138
00:09:24,163 --> 00:09:25,494
...to a free student press.

139
00:09:25,665 --> 00:09:28,896
Mr. Clemmons, isn't a newspaper
supposed to be...?

140
00:09:29,068 --> 00:09:32,401
And what exactly is your journalism
background, Ms. Stafford?

141
00:09:33,940 --> 00:09:36,431
I was on my high school yearbook staff.

142
00:09:36,909 --> 00:09:40,970
Then let's play to our strengths
and stick to pictures of smiling kids...

143
00:09:41,147 --> 00:09:44,776
...engaged in the multitude of enriching
activities that Neptune has to offer?

144
00:09:45,551 --> 00:09:50,488
And Veronica, who was this highly-placed
source in the administration...

145
00:09:50,656 --> 00:09:52,715
...that confirmed your story?

146
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,794
- That would be you.
- I most certainly was not.

147
00:09:57,363 --> 00:10:00,093
Mr. Clemmons, the fresh girl
gave me the impression...

148
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:02,962
...you had been exceeding
your fire-drill limits.

149
00:10:04,570 --> 00:10:06,765
Where are the threats coming from?
A student?

150
00:10:06,939 --> 00:10:09,999
Veronica, I did not invite you in here
for a follow-up interview.

151
00:10:10,176 --> 00:10:14,010
This is a disciplinary meeting. You should
feel lucky that you're not suspended.

152
00:10:14,180 --> 00:10:16,375
Maybe you'd be doing me a favor.

153
00:10:17,049 --> 00:10:21,281
And, Ms. Stafford, you need to use
better judgment in the future.

154
00:10:21,454 --> 00:10:24,821
No more stories on this subject.
Am I understood?

155
00:10:24,991 --> 00:10:28,222
- Completely.
- I may have made a mistake...

156
00:10:28,394 --> 00:10:33,229
...in allowing a pep-squad advisor
to substitute for a journalism teacher.

157
00:10:37,370 --> 00:10:41,033
Who would like to compare the character
of the three Karamazov brothers?

158
00:10:41,207 --> 00:10:44,233
I'd like to hear from someone
who hasn't spoken today.

159
00:10:44,410 --> 00:10:46,071
Ben?

160
00:10:46,846 --> 00:10:50,509
I didn't read it. I thought maybe
I'd wait for the miniseries.

161
00:10:50,683 --> 00:10:54,551
I don't know where you expect to end up
in life with your attitude, Ben.

162
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,950
I wouldn't worry about it, Mrs. Murphy.

163
00:10:57,123 --> 00:10:58,522
It doesn't matter.

164
00:10:58,691 --> 00:11:01,387
In the end, we all wind up
in the same place.

165
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:03,221
Six feet under.

166
00:11:11,771 --> 00:11:13,739
<i>That doesn't include your clan.</i>

167
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,004
<i>- Your clan murdered it.
- It was an accident.</i>

168
00:11:17,176 --> 00:11:19,974
<i>We're all sorry about it.
You have to think of all the good...</i>

169
00:11:20,146 --> 00:11:21,773
What's happening?

170
00:11:21,947 --> 00:11:25,041
They're still watching the movie.
He has his arm around her.

171
00:11:25,317 --> 00:11:28,445
He's not groping her or anything, is he?

172
00:11:28,621 --> 00:11:32,955
No, but earlier I saw him cutting a hole
in the bottom of his popcorn bucket.

173
00:11:34,193 --> 00:11:37,594
- That's not funny.
- Yeah, well, my dad's not a groper.

174
00:11:38,864 --> 00:11:41,128
You think they're serious?
What does your dad say?

175
00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:43,598
That's the good thing.
We don't have to worry.

176
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:46,465
- It won't last long. It can't.
- What does that mean?

177
00:11:46,639 --> 00:11:50,268
My mom's in rehab. When she gets
cleaned up, she's coming home.

178
00:11:51,477 --> 00:11:54,071
And where does my mom fit
into that plan?

179
00:11:58,050 --> 00:12:00,883
So I guess she's just a placeholder, then?

180
00:12:01,053 --> 00:12:04,113
To keep your dad from being lonely
till the woman who dumped him...

181
00:12:04,290 --> 00:12:07,157
...decides she'll come back?
- What do you expect me to say?

182
00:12:07,326 --> 00:12:08,554
This is my family.

183
00:12:08,728 --> 00:12:11,128
Two minutes ago, you didn't
want them dating either.

184
00:12:11,297 --> 00:12:15,131
Yeah, I probably wish Mom would've found
a guy who wasn't my best friend's dad...

185
00:12:15,301 --> 00:12:18,202
...but Mom hasn't found a decent guy
since Dad died.

186
00:12:18,370 --> 00:12:20,930
If she's gonna get burned,
I need to tell her right now.

187
00:12:21,107 --> 00:12:23,132
- You can't.
- Why not?

188
00:12:23,309 --> 00:12:26,745
Wallace, wait. Do me a favor
and just wait a few weeks.

189
00:12:27,847 --> 00:12:31,408
I gotta say, Veronica, I'm getting
a little tired of doing you favors.

190
00:12:33,085 --> 00:12:35,076
<i>What happens to one of us
happens to us all.</i>

191
00:12:35,254 --> 00:12:36,482
<i>Get away from me.</i>

192
00:12:36,655 --> 00:12:38,555
She's, like, the private witness.

193
00:12:39,558 --> 00:12:41,150
Hey, we need to get going.

194
00:12:41,727 --> 00:12:44,787
- Honey, we're still watching the movie.
- It's getting kind of late.

195
00:12:46,565 --> 00:12:47,964
Okay.

196
00:12:50,102 --> 00:12:52,627
Did you and Veronica have a fight?

197
00:12:54,140 --> 00:12:55,664
No.

198
00:12:57,443 --> 00:13:00,276
I know this is uncomfortable for you...

199
00:13:00,446 --> 00:13:03,142
...but I'm counting on you
to be mature about this.

200
00:13:04,083 --> 00:13:05,675
I am.

201
00:13:06,385 --> 00:13:08,046
I'm just looking out for you.

202
00:13:08,220 --> 00:13:11,348
Well, you don't have to,
because I'm a big girl.

203
00:13:11,524 --> 00:13:13,389
I do. There's something
you need to know.

204
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:14,890
- Wallace...
- Just listen.

205
00:13:15,060 --> 00:13:16,425
- I don't want to.
- You need to.

206
00:13:16,595 --> 00:13:20,998
No, I don't. What I need is
for you to see how happy I am.

207
00:13:23,969 --> 00:13:28,303
This is the first time that I actually
feel at home in this town.

208
00:13:28,774 --> 00:13:32,540
Keith is a very good man, and that is
all I need to know right now.

209
00:13:32,711 --> 00:13:35,373
Let me have this.

210
00:13:36,015 --> 00:13:37,812
Please.

211
00:13:40,152 --> 00:13:44,111
Wait. How can you even have an opinion
on Ubuntu if you haven't tried it?

212
00:13:44,290 --> 00:13:46,349
Two-six kernel. Live CD.

213
00:13:46,525 --> 00:13:49,153
They even had Gnome 2.0 the day
Warty Warthog came out.

214
00:13:49,328 --> 00:13:53,526
I'm sorry. I'm perfectly content with OS X.
I have all the awk, grep and sed I want...

215
00:13:53,699 --> 00:13:56,167
...without need for that
pitiful font de-uglification.

216
00:13:56,335 --> 00:13:59,463
But the fonts are de-uglified,
and it's free.

217
00:13:59,638 --> 00:14:03,972
- Oh, fine, you know, live in the dark ages.
- I know what I like. And I like what I know.

218
00:14:04,143 --> 00:14:06,771
Hey, that iPod mini
is something else, isn't it?

219
00:14:07,947 --> 00:14:10,074
- Hi, Veronica.
- Hey. I'm sorry to interrupt.

220
00:14:10,249 --> 00:14:13,582
Mac, would you take a look
at my computer? I can't get it to boot up.

221
00:14:13,752 --> 00:14:16,744
Sure. Could I take it with me,
though? I gotta boogie.

222
00:14:16,922 --> 00:14:19,914
Yeah. Everything important
is password-protected.

223
00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,184
Like I really care
who you have a crush on.

224
00:14:23,362 --> 00:14:25,887
Hey, Veronica, can I talk to you
about something?

225
00:14:26,065 --> 00:14:28,932
- Yeah, sure.
- I have some information for you.

226
00:14:29,101 --> 00:14:31,069
Confidential information.

227
00:14:31,737 --> 00:14:34,399
- My favorite kind.
- It's about your story.

228
00:14:34,573 --> 00:14:36,165
- About the bomb threats.
- Yeah?

229
00:14:36,342 --> 00:14:39,106
Well, it got me thinking. The other day...

230
00:14:39,278 --> 00:14:42,679
...I was riding my bike to school,
and I passed by this vacant lot...

231
00:14:42,848 --> 00:14:45,339
...and I saw Norris and that new kid, Ben.

232
00:14:46,051 --> 00:14:48,645
They were throwing tennis balls
at stray cats.

233
00:14:48,821 --> 00:14:51,381
Uncool, but I don't get it.

234
00:14:51,557 --> 00:14:54,583
The tennis balls were exploding.

235
00:15:01,300 --> 00:15:03,894
Hey, last night you said something.

236
00:15:04,069 --> 00:15:05,934
Am I really your best friend?

237
00:15:07,106 --> 00:15:09,233
Who else you see in the running?

238
00:15:12,511 --> 00:15:14,502
Quit smiling at me.

239
00:15:16,649 --> 00:15:19,914
Hey, what do you think of this new kid,
Ben? Heard anything?

240
00:15:21,253 --> 00:15:23,653
- You're unbelievable.
- Why? What makes you say that?

241
00:15:23,822 --> 00:15:26,484
Because you want me
to go get his file, don't you?

242
00:15:28,227 --> 00:15:31,196
- You're so predictable.
- It's for the greater good, Wallace.

243
00:15:31,363 --> 00:15:34,127
Doesn't he look like
total bomb-threat material?

244
00:15:35,968 --> 00:15:39,563
I'd check out his friend. Clemmons
made him turn his shirt inside out.

245
00:15:39,738 --> 00:15:43,401
- Why? What'd it say?
- "Kill them all. Let God sort them out. "

246
00:16:01,961 --> 00:16:06,227
<i>Forty-six hours, 15 minutes till what?</i>

247
00:16:24,950 --> 00:16:27,544
- Come on, Meg.
- Oh, come on. Be nice.

248
00:16:28,821 --> 00:16:30,220
Hey.

249
00:16:30,389 --> 00:16:32,914
- You mind if we...?
- Yeah. Sit.

250
00:16:33,659 --> 00:16:36,321
Carlita, Biff, Rocco, make some room.

251
00:16:36,495 --> 00:16:38,827
Imaginary friends.

252
00:16:40,065 --> 00:16:42,329
So the whole school is talking
about your article.

253
00:16:42,501 --> 00:16:44,128
You think the threats are real?

254
00:16:45,404 --> 00:16:47,099
Let's hope not.

255
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,105
Ice-cold fries, anyone?

256
00:16:50,542 --> 00:16:52,169
No, thanks.

257
00:16:55,881 --> 00:16:58,748
So are you working on
any interesting cases with your father?

258
00:16:58,917 --> 00:17:02,148
Well, that Maltese falcon
is still eluding us, but...

259
00:17:02,755 --> 00:17:06,486
I'm not allowed to talk about the cases.
A confidentiality thing.

260
00:17:06,658 --> 00:17:08,558
Of course.

261
00:17:15,267 --> 00:17:19,567
You know, there is one case that's sort of
interesting. I'll just leave out the names.

262
00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:22,735
Successful entertainment attorney
divorced his wife...

263
00:17:22,908 --> 00:17:26,674
...owed her, like, half a million dollars
in alimony and child-support money.

264
00:17:26,845 --> 00:17:29,313
Literally erased himself
off the face of the earth.

265
00:17:29,481 --> 00:17:31,972
- How do you do that?
- First, you get your hands on...

266
00:17:32,151 --> 00:17:34,415
...all the cash you can. Using cash is key.

267
00:17:34,586 --> 00:17:38,852
Ditch your cell phone for a prepaid jobber,
move around in a rental car paid for...

268
00:17:39,024 --> 00:17:42,357
...with a debit credit card
and a fake driver's license.

269
00:17:42,528 --> 00:17:44,519
Cross over the border if possible.

270
00:17:44,696 --> 00:17:47,790
If you're really adventurous,
you buy an old passport off eBay...

271
00:17:47,966 --> 00:17:50,230
...and do an extreme makeover on it.

272
00:17:50,402 --> 00:17:52,370
Excuse me.

273
00:17:54,006 --> 00:17:56,099
The shoptalk buzz kill.

274
00:17:56,642 --> 00:17:59,042
It's not you.
He's been acting weird all day.

275
00:18:01,113 --> 00:18:03,172
Well, I'll catch you later.

276
00:18:06,418 --> 00:18:07,680
<i>Ben and Norris.</i>

277
00:18:07,853 --> 00:18:11,414
<i>Is it possible they are biding their time,
waiting for the moment they can...</i>

278
00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:14,684
<i>...blow the school sky high?
Norris earned his reputation...</i>

279
00:18:14,860 --> 00:18:17,954
<i>...as a thug and bully back in junior high.</i>

280
00:18:36,915 --> 00:18:39,577
<i>But I have seen another side.</i>

281
00:19:12,951 --> 00:19:17,081
<i>So let's check in, see where
his headspace is these days.</i>

282
00:19:17,823 --> 00:19:19,586
Who's that by your friend?

283
00:19:21,727 --> 00:19:23,354
Hi.

284
00:19:23,762 --> 00:19:26,196
<i>I'm doing a poll for
the Neptune Navigator.</i>

285
00:19:27,466 --> 00:19:28,728
How vital.

286
00:19:28,901 --> 00:19:32,234
- What's the question?
- Okay. World War llI starts tomorrow...

287
00:19:32,404 --> 00:19:35,464
...you can share your bomb shelter
with three other people. Who?

288
00:19:35,641 --> 00:19:38,610
You know what? I think I'd be
a casualty of war. I don't think...

289
00:19:38,777 --> 00:19:40,267
...the question applies to me.

290
00:19:40,445 --> 00:19:44,814
Bruce Lee, Joe Strummer, Sam Kinison.

291
00:19:46,351 --> 00:19:47,579
They're all dead.

292
00:19:51,056 --> 00:19:52,956
Okay, "other. "

293
00:19:53,959 --> 00:19:55,586
You could've sat with me.

294
00:19:56,094 --> 00:19:58,289
I thought you were making a point.

295
00:19:58,463 --> 00:20:00,055
I wasn't.

296
00:20:00,232 --> 00:20:01,927
There's no school file on Ben.

297
00:20:02,100 --> 00:20:03,863
Strange.

298
00:20:04,469 --> 00:20:06,164
Maybe he's too new.

299
00:20:06,338 --> 00:20:08,499
- I got you Norris' file.
- You're saintly.

300
00:20:08,674 --> 00:20:10,266
I get the top bunk.

301
00:20:12,844 --> 00:20:16,746
Suspended for violent behavior a bunch
in middle school, but that's what I thought.

302
00:20:16,915 --> 00:20:20,783
- But nothing since high school.
- Maybe he's keeping his record clean...

303
00:20:20,953 --> 00:20:24,116
...because he's planning something big.
- That's scary.

304
00:20:24,656 --> 00:20:27,989
Hey, Wallace, thanks.

305
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,958
For what it's worth,
you're my best friend too.

306
00:20:31,997 --> 00:20:34,431
I'm glad you found your mom
and got her some help.

307
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,831
- I should've told you that sooner.
- I should've told you that sooner.

308
00:20:59,658 --> 00:21:05,028
That was either a really poor warm welcome
or an excellent cold shoulder.

309
00:21:06,298 --> 00:21:09,927
Logan told me you've been carrying on
your own investigation of Lilly's murder.

310
00:21:11,303 --> 00:21:14,795
That you have files of everyone
in your computer.

311
00:21:18,777 --> 00:21:20,142
That's true.

312
00:21:22,547 --> 00:21:24,572
Is there a file on me?

313
00:21:25,751 --> 00:21:28,811
There's a file on everyone
who is connected with Lilly.

314
00:21:30,622 --> 00:21:32,590
What does mine say?

315
00:21:39,698 --> 00:21:41,893
It says that you have type-four epilepsy.

316
00:21:42,067 --> 00:21:44,126
That you have mood swings,
violent outbursts.

317
00:21:44,303 --> 00:21:46,533
That you're taking medication.

318
00:21:46,972 --> 00:21:48,735
How do you know that?

319
00:21:48,907 --> 00:21:50,841
It doesn't matter.

320
00:21:51,009 --> 00:21:53,569
It does matter. You've been prying
into my private life.

321
00:21:53,745 --> 00:21:56,873
If I wanted you or anyone to know
about that, I would've told them.

322
00:21:57,049 --> 00:22:01,076
- Who the hell do you think you are?
- I am Lilly's best friend.

323
00:22:01,253 --> 00:22:04,518
- Lilly is dead. Her killer is in jail.
- Abel Koontz didn't kill Lilly.

324
00:22:04,690 --> 00:22:07,454
- He confessed.
- He was paid to confess.

325
00:22:08,193 --> 00:22:12,493
Oh, my God. I mean, do you
even hear yourself? Who would pay?

326
00:22:17,235 --> 00:22:18,702
Us.

327
00:22:19,204 --> 00:22:20,569
Of course.

328
00:22:20,739 --> 00:22:24,140
You think someone in my family paid him.
Why would they do that, Veronica?

329
00:22:24,309 --> 00:22:26,709
- I don't know.
- To protect me?

330
00:22:28,046 --> 00:22:30,708
Do you remember
what happened that day?

331
00:22:41,026 --> 00:22:42,891
You think I killed Lilly.

332
00:22:46,598 --> 00:22:48,623
How could you think that,
even for a second?

333
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,268
- Calm down.
- You think I'll have another episode...

334
00:22:51,436 --> 00:22:53,301
...and kill you too?

335
00:23:09,154 --> 00:23:10,382
All you talk about is guns.

336
00:23:10,555 --> 00:23:14,491
All you're talking about is death-metal
music and bombs and stuff like that.

337
00:23:14,659 --> 00:23:17,856
- Wait, man. Relax.
- I can't keep hanging out with you...

338
00:23:18,029 --> 00:23:20,293
...if you're gonna keep doing this.
- I'm...

339
00:23:20,832 --> 00:23:23,027
- Fine, fine.
- Fine.

340
00:23:28,673 --> 00:23:32,006
<i>A girl must prioritize.
Wallowing in the grief of betraying...</i>

341
00:23:32,177 --> 00:23:36,204
<i>...an ex-boyfriend or following the guy
most likely to blow up Neptune High?</i>

342
00:23:43,021 --> 00:23:46,548
<i>Hell, give me a stick of gum to chew,
and I'll do all three at once.</i>

343
00:23:54,733 --> 00:23:56,064
<i>The Camelot Motel.</i>

344
00:23:56,234 --> 00:24:00,398
<i>Premium accommodations for adulterers
and rent-by-the-half-hour hookers.</i>

345
00:24:00,572 --> 00:24:03,973
<i>Now it appears to be the destination
of choice for teen Kaczynski.</i>

346
00:24:47,652 --> 00:24:49,142
Oh, my God.

347
00:24:53,158 --> 00:24:55,058
- Yeah?
- Hey, it's Logan.

348
00:24:55,794 --> 00:24:58,228
Hey, just a heads up for you.

349
00:24:58,730 --> 00:25:02,257
- Duncan knows about your files.
- He knows because you told him.

350
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:05,494
Well, yeah, I mean, what was
I supposed to do? He's my best friend.

351
00:25:05,670 --> 00:25:07,467
Yeah, well, he took my head off.

352
00:25:07,639 --> 00:25:08,867
You would have loved it.

353
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,031
Have you talked to him
since school let out?

354
00:25:14,679 --> 00:25:16,647
Oh, my God, what do you think
you're doing?

355
00:25:16,815 --> 00:25:18,783
<i>Let's go for a ride.</i>

356
00:25:26,791 --> 00:25:29,453
- Make a left at the next stop.
- Where are we going?

357
00:25:29,628 --> 00:25:32,495
Well, you should know.
You must have followed me there.

358
00:25:32,664 --> 00:25:35,189
- The Camelot?
- Yep.

359
00:25:35,967 --> 00:25:40,233
I'll say this, Veronica. You're a pesky one.
You're screwing everything up.

360
00:25:40,405 --> 00:25:43,397
I really think you're making a mistake.
I don't know anything.

361
00:25:43,575 --> 00:25:46,373
Quiet. I need to think for a minute.

362
00:25:47,479 --> 00:25:50,471
My dad's a detective. If I don't
check with him, he freaks.

363
00:25:50,649 --> 00:25:52,913
There will be people looking for me.
Armed people.

364
00:25:53,084 --> 00:25:55,609
- I wanna show you something.
- Why not someplace public?

365
00:25:55,787 --> 00:25:58,381
- Frappuccino? My treat.
- You think you're being a hero...

366
00:25:58,557 --> 00:26:01,048
...but a lot of people might die
because of you.

367
00:26:04,863 --> 00:26:06,524
Logan, stop.

368
00:26:08,133 --> 00:26:09,691
He's a federal agent.

369
00:26:20,879 --> 00:26:23,177
You're undercover at Neptune High?

370
00:26:24,049 --> 00:26:27,780
Is it all right if he goes outside?
I'd like to talk to you.

371
00:26:27,953 --> 00:26:30,945
Dream on, Jump Street.
I'm not leaving you alone with her.

372
00:26:31,823 --> 00:26:35,224
Logan, he's the real thing.
Just give us a minute, all right?

373
00:26:38,797 --> 00:26:41,197
Fine. Don't close the door all the way.

374
00:26:41,733 --> 00:26:43,928
Yeah, I'll be right out here.

375
00:26:51,276 --> 00:26:53,039
So why Neptune?

376
00:26:53,211 --> 00:26:56,908
Well, part of my job at the ATF
is monitoring Internet traffic.

377
00:26:57,582 --> 00:27:01,416
Norris kept a website that was troubling.

378
00:27:02,087 --> 00:27:04,749
We discovered countless e-mails
he sent to other students.

379
00:27:04,923 --> 00:27:07,585
- Lots of red-flag words.
- Red-flag words?

380
00:27:07,826 --> 00:27:14,197
Retribution, bomb, arsenal, gun show,
fertilizer, Waco, Columbine.

381
00:27:14,833 --> 00:27:17,859
We think that he's the leader of scores
of like-minded misfits...

382
00:27:18,036 --> 00:27:22,200
...who are waiting for his signal to attack.
- Is the signal the countdown clock?

383
00:27:22,574 --> 00:27:25,338
If he's such a threat, why haven't
you brought him in yet?

384
00:27:25,510 --> 00:27:29,708
Having too much fun smarting off
to teachers, cat killing, kidnapping?

385
00:27:29,881 --> 00:27:31,781
- Cat killing?
- I hear things.

386
00:27:31,950 --> 00:27:35,215
If there's been any cat killing,
Norris has acted solo.

387
00:27:36,087 --> 00:27:37,987
I mean, it makes sense, though.

388
00:27:38,156 --> 00:27:41,990
Sociopaths normally get their start
taking out their aggression on animals.

389
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:43,821
Why don't you just pick him up?

390
00:27:45,964 --> 00:27:49,229
Oh, I will bust him.
Be sure of that.

391
00:27:49,734 --> 00:27:53,932
I've got more arrests on my record
than any ATF agent my age, ever.

392
00:27:54,539 --> 00:27:56,598
Failure is not an option.

393
00:27:57,742 --> 00:28:01,371
Problem: If we pick him up now,
we can hold him for 48 hours.

394
00:28:01,546 --> 00:28:04,572
Then we either have to charge him
or release him.

395
00:28:04,749 --> 00:28:08,048
Now, I either need evidence that he's
hoarding banned weapons...

396
00:28:08,219 --> 00:28:12,417
...or I need to get the list of the names
of the people he's been corresponding with.

397
00:28:12,590 --> 00:28:14,558
Why are you telling me all this?

398
00:28:15,727 --> 00:28:17,718
I need your help.

399
00:28:17,896 --> 00:28:20,490
- I need you to get close to him.
- Isn't that your job?

400
00:28:20,665 --> 00:28:23,133
I pushed him too hard. Spooked him.

401
00:28:23,301 --> 00:28:26,793
Now, I'm screwed if I don't get him
off the streets by tomorrow.

402
00:28:27,439 --> 00:28:30,431
I've been to his house
but not his bedroom or the garage.

403
00:28:30,608 --> 00:28:34,806
How do you expect me to swing an
invitation to his bedroom and/or his garage?

404
00:28:34,979 --> 00:28:37,470
Easy. He likes you.

405
00:28:37,649 --> 00:28:40,777
He likes me? "Likes me" likes me?

406
00:28:40,952 --> 00:28:43,785
Yeah, he's mentioned it
on more than a few occasions.

407
00:28:45,023 --> 00:28:47,321
Veronica, your school needs your help.

408
00:28:47,726 --> 00:28:49,626
Your government needs your help.

409
00:28:49,794 --> 00:28:54,197
If you need an in, he loves talking
about his ancient-weapon collection.

410
00:29:01,706 --> 00:29:03,799
You okay?

411
00:30:25,957 --> 00:30:29,290
Thanks for doing this, Norris.
My dad's been struggling with this case.

412
00:30:29,460 --> 00:30:30,688
It's no problem at all.

413
00:30:30,862 --> 00:30:34,161
I brought some pictures of the
stolen weapons if that helps.

414
00:30:34,332 --> 00:30:37,233
My parents are a little nosy.

415
00:30:38,670 --> 00:30:42,606
It's probably more effective than the "mind
your own beeswax" sign I have on my door.

416
00:30:42,774 --> 00:30:45,242
Though it does have a picture
of an angry kitty on it.

417
00:30:54,118 --> 00:30:55,585
So...

418
00:30:56,354 --> 00:31:00,051
...this is my weapon collection.
- You must feel really safe at night...

419
00:31:00,225 --> 00:31:02,523
...when the dragons come.

420
00:31:03,494 --> 00:31:05,394
Here are the pictures.

421
00:31:07,932 --> 00:31:11,129
Do you wanna sit down?

422
00:31:11,302 --> 00:31:13,793
Are you kidding?
I wanna look at these weapons.

423
00:31:14,672 --> 00:31:16,401
They're so pointy.

424
00:31:20,578 --> 00:31:22,546
<i>This one's very Braveheart.</i>

425
00:31:24,616 --> 00:31:27,107
Yeah, that's a replica
of William Wallace's sword.

426
00:31:27,285 --> 00:31:29,446
I've seen that movie, like, 50 times.

427
00:31:30,955 --> 00:31:34,186
- Anything you recognize?
- Yeah, the Tachi sword.

428
00:31:34,659 --> 00:31:36,923
- I'll write down the price.
- Is that wireless?

429
00:31:37,095 --> 00:31:39,757
Yeah, my dad's a programmer
over at Kane Software...

430
00:31:39,931 --> 00:31:41,728
...so we get all the latest technology.

431
00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:44,994
We were one of the first households
in the country to have Wi-Fi.

432
00:31:46,170 --> 00:31:48,070
I have a replica of this.

433
00:31:48,239 --> 00:31:49,866
It's...

434
00:31:50,174 --> 00:31:53,109
It was right over there, but I think it...
I think it fell.

435
00:31:53,278 --> 00:31:55,007
I'll look for it.

436
00:31:55,813 --> 00:31:59,681
<i>Now, if I were a pipe bomb,
where would I be?</i>

437
00:32:02,587 --> 00:32:05,215
<i>Great. I'm his type.</i>

438
00:32:07,125 --> 00:32:10,219
Actually, don't even worry.
I'll find it later.

439
00:32:10,395 --> 00:32:12,829
<i>Maybe he keeps his arsenal in the garage.</i>

440
00:32:12,997 --> 00:32:17,263
<i>So how do I get into the garage without
playing dungeon with this wack job?</i>

441
00:32:18,503 --> 00:32:20,494
- You ever throw one?
- Can't say that I have.

442
00:32:20,672 --> 00:32:23,607
I got a target in the garage
if you wanna try it.

443
00:32:24,409 --> 00:32:27,606
<i>That was easy. I think it, it happens.</i>

444
00:32:29,781 --> 00:32:33,308
Detention? Me? I think not,
Mr. Clemmons.

445
00:32:35,253 --> 00:32:37,619
Try filling out that form left-handed.

446
00:32:38,756 --> 00:32:40,917
How come these are rubber?

447
00:32:41,092 --> 00:32:44,550
They're just for practice.
Next time I'll let you try a real one.

448
00:32:44,729 --> 00:32:47,391
<i>Am I crazy, or is Bomb Boy
flirting with me?</i>

449
00:32:47,565 --> 00:32:50,591
No question about it. The Japanese
have the coolest weapons.

450
00:32:50,768 --> 00:32:52,929
- Should I just put these in here?
- No.

451
00:32:53,137 --> 00:32:55,162
You can just hand them back to me.

452
00:32:58,476 --> 00:33:01,070
My dad said that if I keep my grades up...

453
00:33:01,245 --> 00:33:03,042
...I can tour Japan this summer.

454
00:33:04,415 --> 00:33:08,715
You know, there's a Kurosawa retrospective
over at the Paragon this weekend.

455
00:33:08,886 --> 00:33:11,616
You think maybe you'd like to go?

456
00:33:15,226 --> 00:33:18,593
It's cool. It can just be,
like, a friends thing.

457
00:33:20,064 --> 00:33:23,795
<i>Okay. I came up empty on the weapons
search, but there's one place I can check...</i>

458
00:33:23,968 --> 00:33:27,665
<i>...for his address book. If I can access
the Clayton family wireless system...</i>

459
00:33:27,839 --> 00:33:30,239
<i>...from out here, I'm gold.</i>

460
00:33:34,545 --> 00:33:36,843
Excellent.

461
00:33:40,518 --> 00:33:42,213
- Hello.
- Hey, Mac, it's me.

462
00:33:42,387 --> 00:33:46,551
- I need you to walk me through something.
- What did you ever do before you met me?

463
00:33:46,724 --> 00:33:49,557
<i>Ever see the first ten minutes
of 2001: A Space Odyssey?</i>

464
00:33:49,727 --> 00:33:51,854
It was a lot like that.

465
00:33:53,431 --> 00:33:56,366
- Monkeys clubbing each other.
- No, I got it.

466
00:33:56,534 --> 00:33:59,401
Mac, if you were planning
the apocalypse on a Friday...

467
00:33:59,570 --> 00:34:02,266
...would you ask someone out
on a date for that weekend?

468
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,637
Me? That's the only way
I'd ask someone out.

469
00:34:10,681 --> 00:34:12,342
Veronica?

470
00:34:14,485 --> 00:34:15,975
Earth to Mars.

471
00:34:18,856 --> 00:34:21,120
Dude, where did you go?

472
00:34:22,460 --> 00:34:25,691
Norris, pick up, pick up, pick up.
It's Veronica.

473
00:34:30,701 --> 00:34:33,829
Okay, if you get this,
call me before tomorrow.

474
00:34:50,621 --> 00:34:53,818
- Hey. I got your message late.
- Listen, something's up.

475
00:34:53,991 --> 00:34:57,518
Ben isn't who he says he is, and he
thinks you were behind the bomb threats.

476
00:34:59,097 --> 00:35:01,998
Don't move. Put your hands
where I can see them. Drop the keys.

477
00:35:02,533 --> 00:35:05,969
This is crazy. You have the wrong guy.
It's a joke, a hoax.

478
00:35:06,137 --> 00:35:09,470
- I have a warrant to search your vehicle.
- Fine. Search away.

479
00:35:14,612 --> 00:35:16,341
There you go.

480
00:35:18,082 --> 00:35:19,549
A hoax, huh?

481
00:35:19,717 --> 00:35:22,345
- That's not my stuff, man.
- Cuff him.

482
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,954
- He's lying.
- That's not my stuff, man.

483
00:35:25,123 --> 00:35:26,681
- I didn't do it.
- You set him up?

484
00:35:26,858 --> 00:35:30,259
Step back, please.
People, this is a crime scene.

485
00:35:33,531 --> 00:35:35,226
He's lying to you.

486
00:35:41,439 --> 00:35:43,464
<i>Agent Ben used me. I know it.</i>

487
00:35:43,641 --> 00:35:46,701
<i>Ten to one, he planted the rifle
and fertilizer in Norris' trunk...</i>

488
00:35:46,878 --> 00:35:51,178
<i>...while I was inside playing with throwing
stars. All I need to do is prove it.</i>

489
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,247
"Gro-Time Fertilizer. "

490
00:36:01,192 --> 00:36:03,422
<i>- Hello.
- Pete Comiscky, please.</i>

491
00:36:03,594 --> 00:36:05,926
<i>- Speaking.
- Pete, it's Veronica Mars. Got a minute?</i>

492
00:36:06,097 --> 00:36:07,325
<i>I guess, yeah.</i>

493
00:36:07,498 --> 00:36:10,296
<i>Tomorrow we'll publish a story
in the Navigator that says...</i>

494
00:36:10,468 --> 00:36:14,302
...you created false Internet traffic through
Norris Clayton's wireless Internet...

495
00:36:14,472 --> 00:36:17,839
<i>...accessible to you because you live
within 100 feet of the Clayton's.</i>

496
00:36:18,009 --> 00:36:20,273
<i>- What?
- The story goes on to say you...</i>

497
00:36:20,444 --> 00:36:23,208
...created the KillemAll. Net website,
its countdown clock...

498
00:36:23,381 --> 00:36:26,714
...and called in bomb threats to school
in order to implicate Norris...

499
00:36:26,884 --> 00:36:29,011
...even though there was never
an actual bomb.

500
00:36:29,187 --> 00:36:33,089
<i>Additionally, you lied to this reporter
about Norris and a young A TF agent...</i>

501
00:36:33,257 --> 00:36:36,522
<i>...killing stray cats. Would you care
to comment on this story?</i>

502
00:36:37,562 --> 00:36:40,998
Are you crazy? You think this is
something I just do for kicks?

503
00:36:41,165 --> 00:36:47,001
You did it because you were the frequent
victim of Norris' bullying you in junior high.

504
00:36:47,171 --> 00:36:51,505
<i>He was expelled once for making a tarantula
crawl across your face in Earth Science...</i>

505
00:36:51,676 --> 00:36:54,839
...and again for taking your lunch money.

506
00:36:56,948 --> 00:36:59,143
<i>Pete? Still there?</i>

507
00:36:59,650 --> 00:37:01,641
- Every day.
- Excuse me?

508
00:37:02,186 --> 00:37:05,349
He took my lunch money every day
before we got on the bus.

509
00:37:05,523 --> 00:37:08,515
<i>For two years, I scrounged
off my friends' plates.</i>

510
00:37:09,060 --> 00:37:11,494
I finally told my dad.
You know what he said?

511
00:37:12,296 --> 00:37:14,526
He said, "Be a man.

512
00:37:14,699 --> 00:37:18,430
Just pop him in the mouth once,
son, and he'll back off. "

513
00:37:19,904 --> 00:37:21,633
So I did.

514
00:37:21,806 --> 00:37:23,774
I popped him.

515
00:37:24,175 --> 00:37:26,769
Norris sent me to the hospital.

516
00:37:28,379 --> 00:37:30,472
You wanna know what my dad said then?

517
00:37:32,183 --> 00:37:35,346
- What?
- He said he wished he'd had a son.

518
00:37:38,823 --> 00:37:40,188
Veronica?

519
00:37:48,899 --> 00:37:50,992
Meg, what's wrong?

520
00:37:52,770 --> 00:37:55,204
You haven't seen Duncan tonight,
have you?

521
00:37:55,706 --> 00:37:59,233
No. He never showed,
which is weird.

522
00:37:59,677 --> 00:38:01,406
He's missing.

523
00:38:01,846 --> 00:38:04,246
- His parents think he may have run away.
- What?

524
00:38:04,915 --> 00:38:06,212
Why would they think that?

525
00:38:06,384 --> 00:38:10,821
His mother says that yesterday
he withdrew 10,000 in cash from the bank.

526
00:38:11,355 --> 00:38:12,754
No one's seen him since.

527
00:38:12,923 --> 00:38:15,585
- That's bizarre.
- Yeah.

528
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,127
I don't understand it. I mean,
what would make him do that?

529
00:38:21,866 --> 00:38:24,130
So the ATF agent set him up?

530
00:38:24,302 --> 00:38:28,102
The photos show clearly that the same
fertilizer bags I saw the agent purchase...

531
00:38:28,272 --> 00:38:32,003
...were the ones found in Norris' car.
And same with the rifle.

532
00:38:33,711 --> 00:38:37,044
Well, I guess we have no choice
but to print it, do we?

533
00:38:38,049 --> 00:38:40,040
I was thinking about that.

534
00:38:40,985 --> 00:38:45,012
Maybe I could take the story down
to the city paper, see if they'll publish it...

535
00:38:45,189 --> 00:38:47,623
...or maybe just put it on a website.

536
00:38:49,627 --> 00:38:51,527
What fun would that be?

537
00:38:57,101 --> 00:38:59,934
In case you were wondering,
Mr. Clemmons, not pleased.

538
00:39:00,104 --> 00:39:01,731
I've lost sleep over it.

539
00:39:01,906 --> 00:39:04,033
Did you have to mention
Norris' school records?

540
00:39:04,208 --> 00:39:06,005
Someone could
put two and two together.

541
00:39:06,177 --> 00:39:10,045
They will have to really speak sharply
to me before I reveal my sources.

542
00:39:18,155 --> 00:39:21,249
Listen up, everybody.
I have an announcement.

543
00:39:23,861 --> 00:39:28,025
I just heard that Norris Clayton
is being released later today.

544
00:39:28,199 --> 00:39:30,667
Charges have been dropped,
thanks to a certain...

545
00:39:30,835 --> 00:39:32,962
...high school newspaper's
front-page story.

546
00:39:33,604 --> 00:39:38,234
And I'm sorry to report that today is
my last day teaching at Neptune High.

547
00:39:39,510 --> 00:39:41,842
It's been a real kick
working with all of you.

548
00:39:43,180 --> 00:39:46,240
Now, I'd appreciate it
if you could work independently.

549
00:39:46,417 --> 00:39:48,578
Your sub will arrive shortly.

550
00:39:59,730 --> 00:40:02,961
Okay, buckaroos, we're burning
daylight in here. We need stories.

551
00:40:03,134 --> 00:40:05,261
Who's got something?
