Blackbird Page #3

Synopsis: This is a film about a troubled teen, Sean Randall, who is falsely accused of planning a Columbine shooting scenario. It all begins when an unlikely bond forms between Sean (Connor Jessup) and a preppy teenage girl named Deanna Roy (Alexia Fast). Deanna's boyfriend is deeply threatened by Sean and Deanna's friendship, resulting in a violent confrontation. Seeking to protect himself, Sean issues a death threat online - and is swiftly arrested. When the police raid Sean's home, they find rifles, shotguns, knives and ammunition - all property of Sean's father Ricky (Michael Buie), an avid hunter. They also find a supposed "hit list" with twenty names of people who have tormented Sean. The authorities and the media proclaim another Columbine has been narrowly averted, and soon Sean faces a terrifying imprisonment in a youth detention facility. Sean's only hope is to overcome his dark image, and prove his innocence to Deanna and to his community.

You're like Homer Simpson

hitting his thumb with the hammer.

Oh my god, is he texting you?

No.

Stop him!

So how did you get her number,

Freak Show?

Why don't you ask her?

No, I'm asking you.

She give it to you?

F***

If you go near my girlfriend

again I'll kill you

with my bare f***ing hands.

And I have the means to do it.

He threatened me at school...

I was just responding.

Because his girlfriend didn't want you?

What did she say?

Did you talk to her?

This alleged threat of

his, were there witnesses?

Yeah, a few of his friends Jason, Tyler,

a few others.

You mean the rest of the hockey team?

We know about your website.

Your videos. Your blog.

What we don't know is...

why you're so angry.

What did the world do to you?

Can I see my dad now?

Can you believe this?

Well, you dress the part.

You wanted to stand

out, Sean, so now you do.

How's it feel?

I'm in jail, how do you think

it feels?

I've been charged too, Sean.

Improper storage of firearms.

I've lived alone for ten years.

They're saying I loaded them.

They're saying it's like Columbine.

I know!

Do you know how much media is out there?

Does mom know?

I'm sure she does now!

But they can't give out my name,

right, because I'm a minor?

They can give out mine,

so trust me she knows.

She's probably on a beach

somewhere breathing a huge

sigh of relief because you're

my problem now and not hers.

I should've been there

to raise you myself.

But you weren't.

Does he have to wear those?

The whole town's in there, Sean.

Take a seat.

Hi. You must be Sean?

Hi, I'm Andy Lewis, with Legal Aid.

I've just been assigned your case.

I just got your file.

Wow, it's nutso in here.

Can you just tell them I'm

not who they think I am?

Lets take one thing at a time.

We'll get you bail,

then I'll have a chance

to go over the file and

then we can talk, okay?

All rise.

The sitting of the Eastport

Provincial Court is now in session.

The honourable Judge Campbell presiding.

Thank you, you may sit.

Case number 6215, in the matter of

the Crown versus Sean Richard Randall.

Your honour, Mr. Randall is accused

of making threats and

planning a violent attack

targeting specific students

and teachers at Eastport High.

Mr. Randall is clearly out of

control and a threat to himself

and the community at large.

Due to the uncertain nature

of the threats and the

instability of the accused

we request bail be denied

at this time and he be

remanded for the safety of

himself and the community.

Proceed.

Uh, your honour.

I'd just like to say that I

find this a little bit extreme.

My client here has done nothing

but utter a few threats...
