of the boy's home where an

arsenal of weapons were

found along with what is

believed to be a revenge

plan targeting the entire

hockey team.

Looks like I win after all.

Let me see that.

Keep it, Marcel.

Let it be a reminder to you

that you're still the same

dumb ass muthafucka you always were.

Lying piece of sh*t.

BARKHOUSE!

Rollout! Rollout!

Clean it up, Columbine.

I ain't going to no Discipline Unit

'cause of you.

You want me to lie?

I want you home.

Your dad wants you home.

That's why he hired me, Sean.

To represent your best interests.

How is saying I did something

I didn't in my best interests?

Please, Sean.

Mr. Johns is here to help.

Look, I realize those kids

at school were the real threat.

But you got to understand the system.

The parents, the teachers,

the Crown, they all want

blood on this one.

Who do they have, Harris?

It's a woman, I think that's her name.

Dale Harris.

I remember because

Dale rhymes with bail.

They don't get any tougher than her.

She wants fourteen year

olds tried as adults.

Fourteen.

How old are you?

He's fifteen.

Sixteen.

Point is you rattled

an entire community.

Accept this and move on.

A couple years, you'll be eighteen,

in college, nobody will remember this.

I will.

Don't you think you'd

also remember a long,

drawn out trial?

Your dad's right.

I know you're not guilty, Sean,

but the evidence against

you is very compelling.

If this goes to trial...

I don't know.

What I do know is this.

you put on a nice suit,

you tell a nice story, you'll get a slap

on the wrist be released

for time served.

Lesson learned.

Make life easier for yourself, Sean.

Doesn't anybody care about the truth?

I'm due in court in an hour.

Think about it.

Call me.

I'll talk with him.

Do you have any idea who that is?

It's only the best goddamn youth

lawyer this side of Montreal.

And he's here in this room to help you.

Only you seem to know more than he does.

What was wrong with the other guy?

Andy the Legal Aid guy?

He's a f***ing idiot.

Barry Johns is the real deal.

I mortgaged my f***ing

house to bring him here!

Well I don't like him.

You don't like anyone, Sean.

Is it any wonder the

whole world's against you?

How do you live with

such an embarrassment

for a son?

Don't give me that sh*t, Sean.

I'm here, aren't I.

It's more than you can

say for your mother.

She's not coming?

I don't know.

We're playing phone tag.

She's still in Florida.

Says she's coming though...

soon as she gets back.

When will that be?

I don't know.

But wouldn't it be

nice to get out of here

before she comes?

Get you cleaned up.

Put an end to all this brutality.
