Then, bang, I beat it last year.

And this year, it's you.

Anyway, congrats.

Whoa!

Little party in the lockers.

Come check it out.

Let me out!

Help me!

Get me the f*** out!

Let him out!

Get out of the way!

Get the f*** off!

Let me out!

Out of the way!

Move over!

Alright!

You're okay.

We got you.

You okay?

Who did this?

Go with him.

Who did this?

Bathroom's closed.

Who did it?

I don't know.

You serious? Who was it?

I'm no snitch.

Really?

They stuck your friend in a locker.

Now, he's terrified. Why protect them?

None of your business.

It's my business when students get bullied.

Yeah but then,

I'm next on their list,

and it'll be so much worse!

You okay?

Lunch together?

You've reached:
Francis Gagnon.

It's me. Where are you?

Call me.

Stop!

Don't do it!

Go away!

Don't do it!

- Go away.

Please get down!

Leave me alone.

Get down from there!

It won't stop. It's everywhere.

It's not worth it! Don't do it!

Get the f*** down!

I love you.

Tim, come.

Come on.

We're gathered here

because I have some bad news.

Yesterday, Francis Gagnon,

a grade 11 student,

took his own life.

If you need...

to talk...

Carol, our psychotherapist...

is available.

We're not here to blame anyone.

We want to understand why he did it.

Okay?

They're all hypocrites.

They're all hypocrites, but who?

Tell me more.

Tell you more? I can't.

You might be the king here,

yet you don't get how a school works!

There are 2 ways to solve one's problems:

either shut up and do nothing,

or shut up and deal with it yourself.

I pick the 2nd one.

There are other solutions. We're here for that.

You're not!

We all failed Francis!

I failed him.

In memory of Francis Gagnon - 16

Are you okay?

Sorry about Francis.

Can I do anything?

Jeff, congratulations.

Thanks.

Provincial champ once again.

That's right!

What's next?

Hopefully, the Olympics one day!

For now, the Nationals next summer.

Only one spot per province and it's mine.

What time are you going for?

1:
54.

1:
54?

I'm training to win, not to chill.

Jeff Roy - Provincial Champion 201 1

Tim Fortin 2nd

Tim Fortin - Provincial Champion 2012

Jeff Roy 2nd

Glad you came.

Come on.

Everyone.

Tim's your new teammate.

You know everyone?

Put your bag down.

Warm up everyone.

Welcome to the team, buddy.

Stop chatting, let's go!

What will you run?

800m, like I used to.

Really?

Took you long to decide!

Hope you run faster than you make decisions.

Come on.

What are your goals for this season?

24.30 for 200m.

Under 19 min for 5000m.

Nationals, 800m.

Nationals, 800m.

24.25 for 200m.

See you tomorrow?

Really going for it...
