0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:18.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm here in front of you today not as the sheriff,

0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:23.679
<v Speaker 1>but as a father. Inside my worst nightmare, my daughter

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Hazel was the light of my life. Seventeen years, and

0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:30.479
<v Speaker 1>not a day went by when she did not make

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:35.000
<v Speaker 1>me proud of her character, moral compass, and her kind heart.

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 1>I thought the hardest thing my wife and I would

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:40.679
<v Speaker 1>have to do this year is sent her off to college.

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 1>She had just been admitted to ul A, her top choice.

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Hazel had so much to look forward to. We all did.

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Murder is a path I've walked many times in my

0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>third year career. I never liked this. Today my work

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 1>takes on a new meaning. While I won't be handling

0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:13.359
<v Speaker 1>my daughter's case personally, my wife, my son, and I

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:18.720
<v Speaker 1>couldn't have more trust in this department and their ability

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 1>to conduct an investigation that will get justice for my girl.

0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 1>For Hazel, Hazel was my best friend for twelve years.

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.519
<v Speaker 1>We were inseparable since the very first day of kindergarten

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:51.920
<v Speaker 1>and I was crying, scaredually my parents, but not Hazel.

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 1>She marshed over to me, grabbed my hand, and brought

0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:02.639
<v Speaker 1>me over to play. From that moment on, Hazel was

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:09.760
<v Speaker 1>my smarter, braver, better half. We did everything together. The

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 1>first time with sleepaway camp, our first crushes, our first

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:19.760
<v Speaker 1>time sneaking out, thanks was supposed to be college. We

0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 1>were planning on going to ul A together, sharing a dorm.

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 1>That's all I ever wanted. Oh my gosh, As, I

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 1>can't believe it's our last first day of high school tomorrow.

0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>What are you gonna wear? I don't know. Maybe that

0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.600
<v Speaker 1>wrap dress and boots or shorts and sandals with a

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 1>crop top. I can't decide. Yep, I'm thinking the Fleetwood

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Max shirt that I got at that vintage store with

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 1>my highwaysted shorts. I can't believe it's our last time

0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 1>doing this. Please, I'm sure we'll stress out about first

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 1>day off. It's in college too. Yeah, well, it'll have

0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 1>to be over FaceTime unless they get into l A.

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Don't be ridiculous. You're obviously going to get in. You're

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.080
<v Speaker 1>the one who's a legacy while according to Mr Briggs

0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.400
<v Speaker 1>last time I met with him, and that won't make

0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:18.599
<v Speaker 1>up for my g p A. Mr Briggs told Lucas

0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 1>he'd be lucky to get into community college and look

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:24.360
<v Speaker 1>at him now, Deans listed state. If he got in there,

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 1>then you'll definitely get into l A. I hope you're right.

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:32.200
<v Speaker 1>I just I don't know what my parents are gonna do.

0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.880
<v Speaker 1>If I don't, it's like they've been waiting for this

0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:38.040
<v Speaker 1>for ae. The moment they met. I can't even think

0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:39.480
<v Speaker 1>about what it will be like at home if I

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:44.120
<v Speaker 1>left him down. You won't This time next year, we'll

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:46.480
<v Speaker 1>be planning our first day of school outfits in l A.

0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Trust me. Mr Briggs was wrong about Lucas and he's

0:04:50.279 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 1>wrong about you, dear journal Um. I'll be honest. I

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:08.920
<v Speaker 1>did not expect my first senior assignment to be keeping

0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:12.080
<v Speaker 1>a journal. Seems a little more like first day of

0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 1>middle school stuff to me. But hey, maybe Ms O'Brien

0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 1>is right. Maybe I will want to have everything from

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:25.599
<v Speaker 1>this year written down. The prompt on the board says

0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.919
<v Speaker 1>to write about my hopes for this year. I guess.

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.440
<v Speaker 1>More than anything else, I hope Amy and I both

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.279
<v Speaker 1>get accepted to You l A. I have the grades

0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 1>and test scores, but apparently Mr Briggs told Amy she

0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:41.360
<v Speaker 1>should be aiming lower. So even if I do get in,

0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:46.239
<v Speaker 1>it won't mean much If Amy doesn't too. It won't

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:51.880
<v Speaker 1>matter if I can't go with my best friend. Hazel

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 1>was an all around exceptional student. Can you see once

0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 1>a year, if you're lucky, it's good at math and

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.880
<v Speaker 1>science as she was at English and his three. She

0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.280
<v Speaker 1>scored a fifteen twenty on her s A T did

0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:07.040
<v Speaker 1>student government and sports, got straight a's as a high

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.479
<v Speaker 1>school counselor. You can't ask for a student much better

0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 1>than Hazel. Kids liked her too, all of them from

0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 1>the I guess you'd call them the nerds to Kira

0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Umanski most popular girl in school. They started hanging out

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:25.480
<v Speaker 1>after they were paired up for some English assignment. You

0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.480
<v Speaker 1>know you should be talking to her. That's how this

0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:38.960
<v Speaker 1>whole thing got started. Hey, gira um, it's Hazel. When

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:40.040
<v Speaker 1>do you want to meet up to work on the

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:45.800
<v Speaker 1>English project? Or if you're busy, we can totally do

0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:54.280
<v Speaker 1>it over email. Whatever you want, inflexible. Hey Hazel, I

0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:58.200
<v Speaker 1>want to meet up tonight the Seventh Street coffee houses WiFi. Yeah,

0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 1>that sounds great. Um also, could I uh? Is it okay?

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 1>If um uh? Is it cool? If I bring Amy.

0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know Hazel very well. We've gone to school

0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.000
<v Speaker 1>together for a while, but didn't exactly run in the

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.440
<v Speaker 1>same circle, if you know what I mean. It wasn't

0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:22.160
<v Speaker 1>until we got paired up for that English project that

0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:24.520
<v Speaker 1>we even hung out after school, And at that point

0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:26.680
<v Speaker 1>it really was just to work on the assignment. We

0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 1>had to figure out something we've both written about in

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.600
<v Speaker 1>our journals. That was how we found out we both

0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 1>wanted to go to ul A. Well, that all three

0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 1>of us wanted to go. It's silly, but I'm really

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 1>hoping to go to ul A. No way, you will

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:48.520
<v Speaker 1>as my first choice to really cool? Oh, I should

0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:52.680
<v Speaker 1>have said, we're actually both hoping to go, Me and Amy. Yeah,

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:56.480
<v Speaker 1>if I get in, you will, she will. We're gonna

0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.440
<v Speaker 1>room together. How can you be sure she'll get in?

0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Did you talk to Mr Briggs? Well? Yeah, but it's

0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:09.680
<v Speaker 1>not like he has much of a say hmm, what, Well,

0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.000
<v Speaker 1>it just sounds like you haven't really talked to him.

0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.720
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot that goes into choosing a college. Parents

0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:20.880
<v Speaker 1>tend to focus on the academics, but there's so much more,

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:27.440
<v Speaker 1>and every student is different. That's the whole reason I

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.800
<v Speaker 1>decided to become a school counselor, to help my students

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.240
<v Speaker 1>find the same experience I found, whether it's State or

0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Beaumont or Ula or anywhere else. That was all I wanted,

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:48.920
<v Speaker 1>at least in the beginning. So much has happened just

0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:52.840
<v Speaker 1>since my first journal entry, but most importantly, we may

0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:54.720
<v Speaker 1>have figured out a way to make sure Amy gets

0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:57.959
<v Speaker 1>into l A. And by we I mean me and

0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Kira Umanski. Yes, top of the social pyramid ASP president,

0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:05.760
<v Speaker 1>the same person who once told the entire freshman class

0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Amy and I were lesbians. It turns out it's her

0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:13.600
<v Speaker 1>top choice too. Who knows, maybe our double will become

0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:17.520
<v Speaker 1>a triple, especially if Kira is telling the truth about

0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Mr Briggs being able to guarantee Amy gets in. Kira, Hazel, Amy,

0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 1>come on in. Thank you so much for meeting with us.

0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Of course, Kira told me that you two wanted to

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 1>talk about U l A admissions. It's been our top

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:35.679
<v Speaker 1>choice since we were kids. Amy's parents used to take

0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:39.400
<v Speaker 1>us to football games. You met there. That can certainly help.

0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Now let's start with Hazel. I've got to say your

0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:49.000
<v Speaker 1>transcript is impeccable. I can't imagine you'll have any trouble

0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:51.360
<v Speaker 1>getting into U l A. Frankly, some kids with these

0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.679
<v Speaker 1>stats might consider it a safety school. What about me,

0:09:55.640 --> 0:10:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's see mm hmm. Well, unfortunately, Amy, you're a bit

0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:10.640
<v Speaker 1>of a different story. Your grades are decent, test scores fine,

0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:20.120
<v Speaker 1>extracurriculars are lacking. I'd say you're more like Kira. Your

0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:24.280
<v Speaker 1>application has some strengths, but also some weaknesses that could

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:31.040
<v Speaker 1>use a little extra help. Help. Well, you see, Kira's

0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:32.960
<v Speaker 1>parents and I have come to a bit of an agreement.

0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:36.520
<v Speaker 1>For a small fee, I will make sure her application

0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:40.079
<v Speaker 1>meets u l A standards of acceptance, she gets in,

0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:44.280
<v Speaker 1>I get paid for my time. Clean deal sounds like

0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:49.079
<v Speaker 1>a quid pro quote to me. Hm, I prefer to

0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:53.319
<v Speaker 1>think of it as an upgraded service, optional but worth it.

0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure you do. You know this is illegal, right?

0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:03.520
<v Speaker 1>You're not actually considering this, are you? Look? I want

0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:06.320
<v Speaker 1>to get in. Don't you want that too? Of course

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:08.839
<v Speaker 1>I do? But Mr Briggs, what if I don't get in?

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Do we get our money back? You'll get in? How

0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:15.880
<v Speaker 1>can you promise that? Well, frankly, because I have a

0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:22.120
<v Speaker 1>perfect track record, this is wrong. Mm hmm. I'm surprised

0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 1>to hear you feel that way, Hazel. Why don't you

0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:28.439
<v Speaker 1>know who my dad is? Yes? But I also know

0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:33.880
<v Speaker 1>who your brother is. Poor Lucas barely graduated, but your

0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:37.120
<v Speaker 1>mother was desperate for him to get in. What'd she

0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:42.640
<v Speaker 1>say somewhere that would make your father proud? Now, you

0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.040
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't want to ruin that for your brother? Would you

0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:53.120
<v Speaker 1>not to mention for your best friend? Mm hmm, that's

0:11:53.160 --> 0:12:03.199
<v Speaker 1>what I thought I drove down yesterday. It still doesn't

0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:06.679
<v Speaker 1>feel real. I'm half expecting Hazel to walk through the door,

0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.760
<v Speaker 1>laughing and telling us about the crazy adventure she's been on.

0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:13.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure everyone will tell you how special my sister was,

0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:16.959
<v Speaker 1>But what most people don't know is that Hazel was

0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.160
<v Speaker 1>like that from the moment she was born, always the

0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:24.480
<v Speaker 1>golden child, teacher's pet. If anything, she was too nice,

0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:28.520
<v Speaker 1>too weaker to help, too willing to prioritize others over herself.

0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:30.959
<v Speaker 1>I always told her it could lead to something like this.

0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I always told her she couldn't save the world without

0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:37.440
<v Speaker 1>sacrificing herself. I should have known something bad is going

0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:39.880
<v Speaker 1>to happen. And she was hanging out with Kira Monsky.

0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.280
<v Speaker 1>It was like that or nothing but trouble, especially when

0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:57.120
<v Speaker 1>they're teenagers. Hello in here? Mm hmm, smells good. What's up?

0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Why are you guys looking at me like that? Received

0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:05.520
<v Speaker 1>a call from Mr Briggs. Yeah about what he said.

0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:09.120
<v Speaker 1>You referred to another young girl to him, Amy, Oh, yeah,

0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:14.200
<v Speaker 1>she's Hazel's friend. Figured if Mr Briggs can help me. Hazel, Hazel,

0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:18.079
<v Speaker 1>Hazel Blackwell, we're pared up for an English project as

0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:24.800
<v Speaker 1>in Sheriff Blackwell's daughter Kira. Do you understand what kind

0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:28.000
<v Speaker 1>of risk you've taken by bringing someone like that into this.

0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm not bringing Hazel into anything. She doesn't need any help.

0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Mr Briggs says she'll get in all on her own,

0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:38.079
<v Speaker 1>but she still knows trust me, it won't be a problem.

0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:41.200
<v Speaker 1>How can you be so sure of that? Because Hazel

0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:44.760
<v Speaker 1>has a brother so a brother at u l A,

0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:49.719
<v Speaker 1>a brother that Mr Briggs knows very very well, you

0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:54.439
<v Speaker 1>seriously expect us to believe the Sheriff is in on

0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:58.439
<v Speaker 1>this deal with Mr Briggs. He's not, but apparently his

0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:04.520
<v Speaker 1>wife is. If I'm being honest, I guess I kind

0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:07.560
<v Speaker 1>of felt bad for Amy. I don't know. I guess

0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.120
<v Speaker 1>I understand how it feels to want control over your

0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.559
<v Speaker 1>own future, to be the person your parents want you

0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:16.360
<v Speaker 1>to be. That's why I set her up with Mr Briggs. Well,

0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.720
<v Speaker 1>that and the ten percent cut he offered what did

0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:24.680
<v Speaker 1>he call it, a referral fee. I know it probably

0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:27.840
<v Speaker 1>sounds stupid, but it really didn't seem like that big

0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.480
<v Speaker 1>of a deal, especially since Mr Briggs had done the

0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:33.160
<v Speaker 1>same thing for Hazel's brother. I figured, even if the

0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:35.760
<v Speaker 1>sheriff did find out, what's the worst that could happen.

0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:37.720
<v Speaker 1>It's not like he would have done anything to put

0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:51.040
<v Speaker 1>his own son's future at risk. What's up? Sorry, we're

0:14:51.080 --> 0:15:04.440
<v Speaker 1>just finishing up dinner, Lucas. What's going on? Are you okay? Um? Yes, no, honestly,

0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't I don't know. Okay, Okay, take a deep breath.

0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:14.680
<v Speaker 1>What's going on? Hey? I need to ask you something. Okay,

0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:22.840
<v Speaker 1>what's up? Did you work with Mr Briggs to get

0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:35.120
<v Speaker 1>into state? What did he like help you for money? God? Damn? Hey,

0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:39.960
<v Speaker 1>I thought someone died and I mean, yeah, mom had

0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:41.960
<v Speaker 1>him help me out a little. Wasn't a big deal.

0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Why you didn't say anything to that about it? Did

0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:50.160
<v Speaker 1>you know? But I'm scared for a second. You know

0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:53.280
<v Speaker 1>what he'd do if he found out about this. You

0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:55.640
<v Speaker 1>should be scared. I mean, do you know how serious

0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:59.040
<v Speaker 1>this is? Come on, it's not that pay a deal.

0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:02.120
<v Speaker 1>How can you possibly say that our dad is the sheriff?

0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:09.520
<v Speaker 1>How could you do this to him, to me? To you? Look,

0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:13.360
<v Speaker 1>I gotta go lazy. I don't worry so much, Okay,

0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:18.600
<v Speaker 1>And just please don't say anything to Dad like you

0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.200
<v Speaker 1>know how he can be, and you know he wouldn't

0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:24.320
<v Speaker 1>hesitate to throw the book at his troublemaker son. Probably

0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:26.320
<v Speaker 1>love the chance to make an example out of me.

0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:37.800
<v Speaker 1>All Right, I won't say anything. You promise, Yeah, I promise,

0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 1>all right? Let me says Hi, Honey, should you be

0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:56.280
<v Speaker 1>a clue? Um? Um, I just talked to Hazel. We

0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:59.920
<v Speaker 1>have a problem, A big problem. I think you need

0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:08.200
<v Speaker 1>come home. What if you knew something that was wrong,

0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:11.520
<v Speaker 1>like major crime, big deal, sound the alarm? Wrong? But

0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:14.000
<v Speaker 1>what if you couldn't do anything about it, couldn't tell

0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:16.720
<v Speaker 1>anyone without putting people you love at risk, hurting the

0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.840
<v Speaker 1>people you would never ever want to hurt. What if

0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:23.720
<v Speaker 1>the only options were swallowing the secret or letting it

0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:29.520
<v Speaker 1>ruin everyone's lives. My dad taught me how to tell

0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:32.920
<v Speaker 1>right from wrong, but he didn't teach me how hard

0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:38.640
<v Speaker 1>it be to do something about it. Um. Well, look,

0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Hazel and I are were always a little different. I

0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:47.320
<v Speaker 1>was always the wild one, the one who thought rules

0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:50.040
<v Speaker 1>were meant to be broken. My mom would say I

0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:53.040
<v Speaker 1>was a free spirit, but that's of being nice. She

0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:57.040
<v Speaker 1>was always making excuses. I think She felt bad because

0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:59.080
<v Speaker 1>of all my dad was with me. That was the

0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:00.879
<v Speaker 1>whole reason we got to make stuff with Mr Briggs

0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:03.679
<v Speaker 1>in the first place. She thought that if I got

0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:08.000
<v Speaker 1>in somewhere, it's something of myself. Maybe it proved something

0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:12.159
<v Speaker 1>to my dad, but he was never interested in me.

0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:16.119
<v Speaker 1>Who could blame him. Hazel was the kind of kid

0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:20.680
<v Speaker 1>every parent dreams of, but especially someone like my dad.

0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:26.280
<v Speaker 1>She was just like him too much. So if you

0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:33.840
<v Speaker 1>ask me, Jeames, what's up, Hey, I have care on

0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:35.680
<v Speaker 1>the other line, I'm just going to merge the calls.

0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:40.719
<v Speaker 1>Sounds good. Hey, neither of you said anything to anyone

0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:46.880
<v Speaker 1>about Mr Briggs, right? Obviously not, of course, not why

0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:51.360
<v Speaker 1>he just emailed me asking if anyone else knows. I'm

0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:55.000
<v Speaker 1>sure he's just being paranoid. You didn't see anything to

0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:58.360
<v Speaker 1>your dad, did you, Haze. I'm not an idiot. It's

0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:01.159
<v Speaker 1>just that if anyone was going to say something I didn't,

0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:03.240
<v Speaker 1>I want me to get into u l a too,

0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:12.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, Okay, we'd talk to you, Hazel. Hazel was honest,

0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:18.000
<v Speaker 1>sometimes to a fault. Some people would hate being the

0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:21.800
<v Speaker 1>daughter of a cop, but she loved it because she

0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:26.240
<v Speaker 1>was just like him. Good if not a little righteous.

0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes it would have just been easier if she could

0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:35.119
<v Speaker 1>have just let some things go, if she could just

0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:38.200
<v Speaker 1>realize that not every rule needs to be followed, that

0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:40.360
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't her job to make sure everyone was doing

0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:45.120
<v Speaker 1>the right thing. She wasn't trying to police everyone all

0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:50.120
<v Speaker 1>the time. Then I don't know, maybe she would still

0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:58.280
<v Speaker 1>be here today. M Mom is there? Breakfast? Was just pops,

0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:00.960
<v Speaker 1>grab one and take it to go. Thanks. Big day today?

0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Huh yeah, big day? Where's dad? Good morning? My lovely

0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:11.680
<v Speaker 1>wife daughter ul A. Decisions come out tonight huh yep.

0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:14.280
<v Speaker 1>I'll be nice to have a reason to celebrate. It

0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:15.960
<v Speaker 1>feels like just yesterday we were doing all this with

0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Lucas right. I can't believe it. You're ready your turn?

0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:23.400
<v Speaker 1>So you're ready to go? Hayz Yeah, I'm ready. Let's

0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:32.480
<v Speaker 1>go have a good day. Okay, kid, don't worry about

0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:35.240
<v Speaker 1>getting into U l A. You're gonna get in. You

0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:40.760
<v Speaker 1>earned it. Dad. Could you pick me up from school today?

0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:46.200
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't Amy drive you home on Tuesday's Yeah, but there's

0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:48.719
<v Speaker 1>something I need to talk to you about. I can

0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:51.199
<v Speaker 1>leave sixth period a few minutes early. Make you buy

0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:57.359
<v Speaker 1>the back exit Okay, sure, Yeah, Yeah, is everything all right? Yeah,

0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:02.959
<v Speaker 1>it will be. Just don't tell Mom or Lucas about this, okay,

0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:14.840
<v Speaker 1>all right? Well, journal I tried to let it go,

0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:19.280
<v Speaker 1>really I did. I tried to tell myself it wasn't

0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:20.800
<v Speaker 1>a big deal that my dad didn't need to know.

0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:22.960
<v Speaker 1>But the more I thought about it, the more I

0:21:23.000 --> 0:21:26.640
<v Speaker 1>realized I couldn't just let it go. There was something

0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:29.480
<v Speaker 1>telling me not to, something telling me that I had

0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:32.280
<v Speaker 1>to do the right thing. This whole time, I've been

0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:35.200
<v Speaker 1>trying to ignore my conscience. But that didn't mean it disappeared.

0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:41.840
<v Speaker 1>In fact, it's louder than ever. Dad's going to pick

0:21:41.880 --> 0:21:44.560
<v Speaker 1>me up early from sixth period today and I'm going

0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:48.359
<v Speaker 1>to tell him everything. I know some people will never

0:21:48.440 --> 0:21:52.439
<v Speaker 1>forgive me for telling him, but I'd never forgive myself

0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:59.840
<v Speaker 1>if I didn't. So do you want to come over?

0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Just cool? I think the ul A emails are supposed

0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:06.480
<v Speaker 1>to come out of five six, but um, I can't.

0:22:06.600 --> 0:22:10.240
<v Speaker 1>I gotta finish that report for Kim. I'm going to

0:22:10.320 --> 0:22:14.040
<v Speaker 1>go to the library so I don't need to write home. Fine,

0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:16.600
<v Speaker 1>I guess not that exciting when you know you're going

0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:20.400
<v Speaker 1>to get in Hey, I don't know anything if either

0:22:20.440 --> 0:22:22.560
<v Speaker 1>of us is to guarantee at this point, it's probably you,

0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:29.760
<v Speaker 1>isn't it. I'm sorry, I'm just stressed out. I guess,

0:22:30.920 --> 0:22:36.800
<v Speaker 1>don't worry. We'll both get in. That's a good thing, right, Yeah,

0:22:37.400 --> 0:22:41.000
<v Speaker 1>of course it is, seems did you check your email?

0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:43.960
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean? The ul A decisions came out early?

0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:49.680

0:25:09.080 --> 0:25:13.280
<v Speaker 1>decide who you think killed Hazel. Here are your suspects.

0:25:14.680 --> 0:25:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Hazel's best friend Amy. She wasn't trying to police everyone

0:25:18.960 --> 0:25:22.000
<v Speaker 1>all the time, then maybe she would still be here today.

0:25:22.359 --> 0:25:26.119
<v Speaker 1>Popular girl, Kira. It's just that if anyone was going

0:25:26.160 --> 0:25:31.440
<v Speaker 1>to say something, high school, college counselor Mr Briggs, poor

0:25:31.560 --> 0:25:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Lucas barely graduated, but your mother was desperate for him

0:25:35.720 --> 0:25:39.280
<v Speaker 1>to get in. What did she say somewhere that did

0:25:39.440 --> 0:25:44.280
<v Speaker 1>make your father proud? Or her brother Lucas? Maybe it

0:25:44.480 --> 0:25:48.960
<v Speaker 1>proved something to my dad, but he was never interested

0:25:49.000 --> 0:25:52.840
<v Speaker 1>in me. Who could blame him? Hazel was the kind

0:25:52.880 --> 0:25:56.359
<v Speaker 1>of kid every parent dreams of. We'll be back with

0:25:56.480 --> 0:26:15.560
<v Speaker 1>the answer after a word from our sponsor. Now it's

0:26:15.640 --> 0:26:19.720
<v Speaker 1>time to find out who killed Hazel. Hazel's killer was

0:26:20.040 --> 0:26:23.760
<v Speaker 1>her so called best friend Amy, after she discovered that

0:26:23.800 --> 0:26:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Hazel was planning to tell her father about the admission scheme.

0:26:28.000 --> 0:26:31.600
<v Speaker 1>I hope you're right. I just I don't know what

0:26:31.720 --> 0:26:34.200
<v Speaker 1>my parents are gonna do if I don't. It's like

0:26:34.280 --> 0:26:36.160
<v Speaker 1>they've been waiting for this one the moment they met.

0:26:37.560 --> 0:26:39.119
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even think about what it will be like

0:26:39.200 --> 0:26:42.240
<v Speaker 1>at home if I lived in town. The only person

0:26:42.320 --> 0:26:44.080
<v Speaker 1>who could have known that Hazel was going to tell

0:26:44.160 --> 0:26:47.600
<v Speaker 1>her dad that day is someone who read her journal. Hey,

0:26:48.320 --> 0:26:50.560
<v Speaker 1>my journal for English classes missing. You guys didn't see

0:26:50.600 --> 0:26:54.000
<v Speaker 1>it inside? Did you know? I didn't see anything. Maybe

<v Speaker 1>it's in your locker. And if you listen closely to

0:26:56.880 --> 0:27:00.000
<v Speaker 1>her call, Amy gave away that she was the journey

0:27:00.000 --> 0:27:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Old Thief by revealing a piece of information that only

0:27:02.760 --> 0:27:05.920
<v Speaker 1>someone who had read it would know. Dad's going to

0:27:05.960 --> 0:27:08.680
<v Speaker 1>pick me up early from sixth period today and I'm

0:27:08.720 --> 0:27:13.080
