Miller boy?

No, sir.

I overheard him talking...

...on his phone.

I'll type up my resignation.

No, that won't be necessary...

Mrs. Miller.

Thomas, after all we've gone...

...through, I trust you're wise...

...enough to know the serious...

...consequences you may face...

...in the wake of such...

...a heinous lie.

And therefore, I'm inclined to...

...believe you.

Awesome!

Mrs. Miller?

Sir?

Meet me by the bear, please.

Call this man immediately.

Dr. Nussbaum?

A gifted child psychologist...

...specializes in delusional...

...behavior.

You think my son is...

...delusional?

A little, yes.

After Dr. Nussbaum gives his...

...diagnosis, he'll recommend...

...an appropriate school.

But you can stay.

You're very good.

First of all, Thomas is...

...right here in the room.

Thomas also has very good...

...hearing, and the only thing...

...delusional about Thomas...

...is him thinking he could...

...trust you with the truth...

Principal Hampton.

Ironic...

...you're a principal...

...but yet, you have no principles.

Psst!

Mr. Randall.

Can we talk?

Sure.

What's going on?

It's an old story, and I

...really should know what to do...

Because it's such an old story.

Lemme guess.

Is this the one where someone...

...knows something that nobody else...

...knows, and that someone...

...isn't sure if they should tell...

...someone or not?

You're good.

So?

What's the person know?

Well, let's just say it's...

...it's a matter of life...

...and death!

How'd you know?

Well, like you said...

...it's such an old story.

Look, someone's in danger.

Real, real danger.

Hold that thought, Thomas.

Hello?

Yeah.

Great.

Well, that's what I'm here for.

Look, I'm gonna have to...

...call you back.

What were you saying about...

...someone being in danger?

What? I-I didn't say that.

Why would I say that?

I- I would never say that.

Thomas?

See ya!

You supposed to be in here?

Where's Albert?

Albert?

The other janitor.

The cool one.

Oh, Friday.

Albert has Friday off.

When will he be back?

Monday.

Oh, of course, Monday.

Thank you.

Albert, you are here.

Great.

...of course I'm here.

What's going on, little man?

So, would you say what we...

...have is a solid friendship?

What we... we only met once.

Well, after one meeting...

...can you see where this is...

...gonna go?

Like, BFF?

BFF? Come again?

Best Friends Forever.

All right, that's cool.

Gimme some love, little man.

Yeah, yeah.

So, uh, BFF.

What do we do now?

We talk.

And I believe I can share...

...anything and everything...

...with you.

You know what?

I wouldn't have it any other...

...way.

Me too, so here it is.

Somebody's planning to kidnap...

The President's daughter...

...right here at our dance.

Come on, Thomas.

Do you realize what you're...

...saying?

Yeah, I do.

All right, well...

...tell me what you know.

Well, that's all I know.

Bus is leaving.

Gotta fly!

Hey, wait!

We all know...

...the magnitude of tonight...

...an event unlike anything...

...that has ever been held...

...in our school.

Your mission comes down to this.

Keep order, keep your children...

...safe, and I can't stress this...

...enough...

Keep the President's daughter...

...even safer.

No pressure.

Enjoy your night.

Thank you.

Mrs. Miller?

Could you stay behind, please?

Sir?

Mr. Bailey and I have spoken...

...at length and feel perhaps...

...it's best if Thomas stayed away...

...from tonight's festivities.

I'm afraid that's not...

...an option.

You know what the stakes are...

Miller.

Miller?

Mrs. Miller, there's going...

...to be a lot of news coverage.

I just want everything to come...

...off rosy and peachy.

Let's face it...

Principal Hampton.

What you're really concerned...

...about is that you come off...

...rosy and peachy.

Mrs. Miller, Thomas will not...

...be attending tonight's dance...

...and there is no choice...

...in the matter.

You going to answer...

...the phone?

Sir, are you going to answer...

...that?

Sir?

Mom, you've got to believe...

...me. The President's daughter's...

...really gonna be abducted.

It's not a story.

I'm telling the truth.

These stories are a way...

...for you to get attention...

...and-and just so you don't have...

...to feel all alone, right?

But you need to know that...

...you're not alone.

I'm here, and your daddy's...

...out there waiting for you...

...to reach out to him, okay?

Westpark...

Middle School and our tiny town...

...will never be the same again as...

First Daughter Christina Adams...

...will spend 33 minutes with us.

Standing next to me is...

Madison Kramer, our honors...

...student and essayist.

So Madison, what inspired your...

...award-winning essay?

Well, I really believe that...

...we can focus on everything but...

...the here and now.

See, if we just slow our lives...

...down and live it one minute at...

...a time...

Thank you, Madison.

We're out of time.

You expecting someone?

I'm not exactly the most...

...popular person, so that'd be a...

...big honking no.

And it's not unusual for any...

...member of the first family to...

...travel with upwards of ten...

...undercover security personnel.

She's gonna need every single...

...one of them.

Thomas, come in here please.

What'd I do now?

You forgot your book bag at...

...school.

Sorry.

Luckily, someone was nice...

...enough to bring it for you.

Hey, Thomas.

Buddy.

Mr. Randall, you don't... You...

...don't have to be here.

Really, you don't.

After our little...

...conversation, I knew you had...

...something on your mind.

No wonder you left this behind.

Thank you, sir.

You can turn yourself in now.

Excuse me?

I meant you can turn around...

...and go now.

Thank you.

Thomas!

I am so sorry for his rudeness.

Would you like something cold to...

...drink?

Yeah, sure.

You seem a little jumpy...

Thomas.

And you don't seem thirsty...

...so why are you still here?

All right, you got me.

I'm not really thirsty.

Truth is, I wanted to be alone...

...with you.

You're the bad guy, aren't...

...you?

If wanting to ask you some...

questions makes me a bad guy...

...then yeah.

Look, forget our talk.

I know nothing.

Up here, empty.

Nothing but storage space.

Have you been to Principal...

Hampton's office lately?

Now that's an unfair...

question.

I'm always in Principal...

Hampton's office.

And have you noticed anything...

...unusual, anything out of the...

...ordinary?

...Prepares for Christina's...

...arrival, one thing is clear...

...security will be front and...

...center.

But in this day and age, what...

...here you go, cold drinks.

Thank you.

Thomas?

No thanks.

I'm not the type to pretend I'm...

...thirsty.

I'm all about the truth, and...

I'll find it.

Thomas.

Just remember, things aren't...

...always as they appear.

Mom, be careful.

Very, very careful.

Fido, come on.

Yo, dog, how do I look?

It was nice talking with you.
