Blackbird Page #4

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.

I'll have decorum in my court,

or I'll have the Sheriff clear the room.

The point I'm trying

to make your honour,

is that my client's a minor.

It's my understanding that if

there is a parent or guardian

present and responsible,

bail should be granted.

Not if the parent is the one

providing illegal firearms.

Mr. Randall, do you understand the

seriousness of the charges?

Yes.

This is a tight-knit community.

When you threaten our

children, you threaten us all.

I'm going to deny bail, Mr. Randall,

pending further investigation.

You're going to Waterville.

For your sake and the

sake of the community.

Step through.

Step forward to the line.

Turn around and face me.

Take off your shoes.

Take off your socks.

Empty your pockets.

Take off your shirt.

Take off your pants.

Rub your hands through your hair.

Hold out your arms.

Open your mouth.

Wide as you can please.

Stick out your tongue.

Turn around.

Bend over.

BARKHOUSE!

Ce1l 2B.

Alright, settle down.

Settle down.

In your cells in twenty minutes.

I'll be watching.

It is about time I got a new b*tch...

Eye down.

Fresh meat, huh?

Watch out for Trevor.

I get the headlines.

What's the password?

Move.

Welcome to the human fish tank.

You don't mind.

Can't whistle.

Birds whistle and birds are free.

I didn't know.

Oh... He didn't know.

Didn't know.

Speaking of birds

f***ing parrot over here.

The question is...

just what kind of bird are you?

Don't answer.

We have a tradition here on West 7, ah.

Amherst teen arrested

for ATM bank fraud.

Ray, you're up.

Don't f***ing say a word.

I picked Hartford youth gets

six months for assault with

a deadly weapon.

Yarmouth teen sentenced for

eleven counts of joyridinq.

Could I see bank fraud?

Maybe.

But assault with a deadly weapon?

With his Aids dick maybe.

And joyriding?

I swear Lucas you get

dumber by the minute.

Look at his face.

Joyriders are friendly.

That's why they're called joy riders.

This bird don't like people.

He's got that

my-sh*t-don't-smell

look to him.

What's it say?

Eastport teen denied bail

for planning school massacre.

Trevor got it, I can see it in his face.

Whoa whoa whoa, he hasn't

even one chosen yet.

Get them all in front of him.
