what he saw upset him.

That's-- That's-- That's--

He -- He was--

He was, uh, rattled.

Ya know? Something happened.

But, so why does

the presentment

say anal rape?

- It says that?

- Guido:
Didn't you read it?

- It says anal sex.

- Oh, well, you're the lawyer.

Mary:
There's no such thing

as consensual anal

with a ten-year old....

( no audible dialogue )

He was distraught!

He was, he was--

He didn't make sense!

It was clear whatever

he was talking about

was inappropriate.

I-- I got that.

So, I called Tim,

and I called, uh, Gary.

And, uh, and, uh--

and if it's true,

I get everybody's upset.

We're upset.

But meanwhile, you gotta--

you gotta let,

uh, legal process unfold--

Scott:

Dad, did you know

anything else

about, uh, Jerry?

What do you mean?

Why are you saying that?

- I just told you.

- I don't know, but--

- What about Jerry?

- When you read it,

you can see

the guy had a clear problem.

Ya know? Maybe--

I didn't read the thing.

You told me about the thing...

Scott,

and then you told me again.

- I know. I'm just saying--

- So I know.

So, you're badgering me.

You're badgering me,

I don't like it.

I got a game to prepare for.

That's what's important

to me now, Scott.

Whatever these things are--

People think

that you knew

about all of it.

- But I don't care

what people think!

- 2001. 1998.

"Well, JoePa runs the school.

How could he not know?"

Well, I didn't know.

I don't know what they're

talking about.

I didn't know--

What-- What am I,

omniscient here?

Well, yeah, that's what

they think you are,

- and they're writing stories.

- Scott:
What about rumors?

"There's something funny

about this Jerry guy."

Nothing like that?

What happened to you?

You're telling me

about a rumor?

A rumor?

What's that?

Is that why I sent you

to law school?

Gossip like that,

what it does to people?

You have any idea--

What about your Uncle George?

Huh? How come he wasn't married.

Everybody said,

"Something's wrong with him.

Whatever this is,

I don't understand it.

It's garbage!

Jerry Sandusky.

What is he?

I thought he was--

he was unfocused

and such a pain in the butt,

but yes, uh, kids were--

he had kids around all the time.

These were hopeless,

helpless, lost causes.

He started the biggest charity

in the history of this state.

Every heavy hitter,

every high roller

donating every week,

checks coming in by the dozens.

I never saw anything like it.

He's honored by the president

of the United States.

I got a statement.

Sue and I...

have devoted our whole lives

to helping young people.

The fact that someone

we thought we knew

might have harmed young people

like this,

if it's true...

well, we were fooled...

along with a whole bunch

of professionals

who are trained

in this kind of thing.

And we're sorry.

We are grieving...

for all of them.

( sighs )

We'll release that.

That's the end of it.

I have practice.

( sighs )

( crowd cheering )

Man:

Here to say a few words

about our guest of honor

Jerry Sandusky

is his long-time colleague,

mentor and friend

of over 30 years,

head coach of Penn State

Nittany Lions, Joe Paterno.

( applause )

Paterno:

Jerry and Dottie,

they always had kids,

they adopted kids,

they-- they fostered children--

all the time,

everywhere I look,

there was kids, kids--

kids kept appearing.

I didn't know what

was goin' on.

I said, "What are they doing?"

I mean, I thought

they were their kids, right?

Little did I know,

it turns out,

Uh, Jerry started this,

uh, charity.

This wonderful thing, ya know?

All these kids, uh--

I had no idea. I had no idea...

( trailing off )

I had no idea.

All these kids, all these kids,

all these kids...

Hundreds, hundreds of children.

-Thousands.

- Thousands!

Thousands! Thousands!

- ( laughing )

- That's awesome.

( applause )

Coach:

OK, so we'll start with Matt.

He's working out a little bit.

Coach 2:

Watch his knee.

You've gotta

be kiddin' me.

These guys are

f***ing animals.

Coach 2:
All right,

come on, guys.

Closed practice.

Let's go outside, come on!

JoePa's gonna give

his regularly scheduled

press conference tomorrow.

Is this where

the locker room was

where the indicents took place?

Could we just

get a couple shots--

Good day to you, sir.

All right, come on.

Outside. Outside, please.

Tom, could we get a lockdown

on the last building, please?

Man:
I have no idea

why Mike McQueary is still

on this staff.

He was a 28-year-old man,

and he saw an older man

commit a sexual act

against a ten-year-old,

and did nothing about it.

He walked away,

and went home,

and talked

to his dad about it.

And then decided to see

Joe Paterno the next day.

- ( blows whistle )

- All right, guys,

let's go! Ladder!

- Man:
Sara?

- Shh!

( whispering )

Are you Sara Ganim?

I'm Hugh Lewison, with NBC.

Do you have a second?

( whispering )

Oh, uh, I don't.

I'm sorry.

I got, I got--

I got, uh, places to go.

Just two seconds.

I just need a couple

of phone numbers.

- Do you mind?

- Oh, yeah, no.

I have a piece

that's got to run

in, like, ten minutes,

so I got to get

to my interview.

Who are you

interviewing?

Um, I'm sorry.

Look, I just drove

four hours to find you.

You're the only goddamn person

who's followed this thing.

Can you tell me why I can't

find a police report from when

McQueary reported

Sandusky in the shower

with the kid in 2001?

I know, it's a real

head-scratcher.

Do you have it?

You don't have to

show it to me.

Just tell me if you've seen it.

Read the article I wrote.

There's no police report

from 2001.

Man:
But the indictment says

there was an investigation.

( cell phone ringing )

No? Can you just nod

or shake your head?

I'm being followed

by this guy from NBC.

40 news organizations

want to interview you.

- He's still following me.

- Where are you going?

To interview the mom.

You better lose him.

Keep him away from the mom.

This is not

Starksy and Hutch, David.

Go away!

Thank you.

- Woman:
Gary?

- Oh, hey.

- Are you OK?

- Yeah. Fine.

They're, uh, gonna

bring me in today,

but I don't think

they're gonna keep me.

To jail?

Oh, God, Gar.

- Everything's

gonna be fine, Kim.

- ( sighs )

Hey, uh, listen, Kim.

Could you do me a favor?

Anything.

Go into my office...

OK.

...to the desk.

Yeah?

Unlock the bottom drawer.

Mm-hmm?

You see the transition file?

Yep.

Yeah, could you bring that

to the house?

Of course. Anything else?

You want some food?

No, no, no, no, no. I'm good.

Okay, Gar. Call me

if there's anything at all.

Yeah, yeah. Will do. Bye.

( phone beeps )

( players shouting )

( whistle blows )

No, no, no!

Don't hit yourself.

Hit him!

Player:
Set!

- They're gonna move us.

- Ganim:
How come?

Dawn:

It's not safe.

Since it came out,

people know who he is.

Uh, you don't have to, uh--

Aaron sleeps

on the couch

every night.

Can't sleep in a bed

since Jerry's--
