The Preppie Connection Page #6

Yes, it's Ellis Tynes.

It's important.

Okay.

Okay.

Yeah.

Excuse me, I need

to use the restroom.

Sure.

-This one?

-Yeah.

Ready?

Are you Tobias Hammel?

-Yeah.

-DEA.

Come with us, please.

Excuse me,

please tell me, what's...

What's going on?

Just gonna take a little

look through your things.

-Stay here.

-What's going on?

You're under arrest

for the possession of narcotics.

You have the right

to remain silent.

Anything you say can

or will be used against you

in a court of law.

Toby, what's...

Toby, what's going on?

Let's take him.

Toby!

Toby!

They're saying he's going

to be tried as an adult.

He's gonna do

anything he can

to get himself out of this!

He's gonna rat us out, Ellis.

All of us.

Doesn't matter.

How can you be so f***ing

casual about this?

Don't you know that if Fielding

finds out...

He finds out we're in on this,

we're f***ed.

Doesn't matter.

Why not?

Because,

headmaster already knows.

A... and how does the

headmaster already know, Ellis?

I covered our asses.

You covered our asses?

What does that mean?

I told them

what Toby was doing.

Got the DEA involved.

So it's,

it's a criminal matter.

It's on him.

You ratted Toby out.

It was you.

F***in' scumbag.

Hey, man, look...

We'll get off with no more

than suspensions.

Okay.

It's gonna be cool.

What about Alex?

What the f***.

My parents are gonna sh*t.

There goes f***ing Yale.

You were never

Yale material, Benny.

-Laura.

-Get away from me!

-Laura.

-No, leave me alone!

You made it, c*nt.

We understand the defendant's

prior lack of any record

In this young age,

your honor.

But we believe the amount

of the illegal substance

ceased is significant enough...

I was being charged

with federal drug trafficking.

Word of what I had done

had spread across the country.

And after "60 minutes"

picked up a story

it was a national scandal.

Hi, Mary.

I need to speak

with my mom, please.

Well, I don't care

if she's in a meeting.

I need you to go get her, I...

It's really important.

Hey, have you seen Laura?

No one was safe now.

There was nowhere to hide.

Okay. Okay.

Can I talk to my dad?

Headmaster Fielding.

Hi, I'm Ed Bradley

from "60 minutes."

I have a few questions for you,

I'd like you to answer

do you have a minute?

He had no idea how many students

in the schools were involved.

Scope of it was overwhelming.

Concerning this issue,

it's under investigation.

We're looking at the facts.

No.

No message.

The press was in a frenzy.

I brought the scourge

of cocaine

into the midst of America's

most privileged progeny.

The white kids were in danger.

But this

is a major investigation.

-You have a good day.

-Dr. Fielding? Dr. Fielding?

Everyone was feeling.

Trying to stay ahead of what

was about to happen.

But not everyone

could outrun it.

Laura disappeared

for two days.

Ben searched everywhere

for her

but he wasn't the one

who found her.

You f***.

You killed her! You f***!

No, this judge, he wanted

to teach you a lesson.

And our attorney is hopeful

that after little time,

he might grant bail.

We'll have to put up

the house to cover it.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

You're going to have to make

a full confession.

You give him the names

of everyone that's involved

and you might be able

to get some years back.

Toby, did you hear me?

It was me.

It was all me.

I bought it, I smuggled it in.

I brought it to...

No, stop it, stop it,

right this instant.

And Laura died because of me.

No.

Where's Alex?

Alex... What?

Who's Alex?

It's the girl.

He's asking about the girl.

Okay.

Her father made a deal.

If she stays in South Carolina,

she will not be extradited.

Do you see?

And difference between us

and them...

Enough. That's enough.

The difference between us

and them.

She's okay?

Yes, yes.

I'd understood

that a long time ago.

I saw it.

I'd measured it in grams.

But I don't think

Ingrid ever understood it.

Why didn't you dump it?

I'm sorry.

I have to go.

Toby.

I'm sorry, mom, I have to go.

No more lies,

only medical grade truth now.

Mike and Ingrid split up.

Ingrid felt someone

had to be responsible

for the monster I had become.

Ellis and Ben got expelled

with a whole bunch of people.

But Ellis' preordained path

wasn't altered one bit.

Ben never got over Laura

and I heard he dropped out

of the whole scene.

It was my fault, all of it.

When I look back at it,

now I have this funny feeling

remembering it all

while it was happening.

Like a dream I couldn't stop

until I got to the end.

Until I got caught.

And I know I'm supposed to feel

bad and tell everyone I'm sorry

and I am for everything.

But the truth is I miss it.

Everything, everyone,

even Ellis.

I miss the moment

I had with her.

And that's all I'll ever have.

Because I never saw

Alex again.

Last spring, a student at one

of America's most prestigious

prep schools,

Choate Rosemary Hall

was arrested by police

at Kennedy Airport

as he was returning

with $300,000 worth of cocaine.

There was a lot of drug use.

There were... there were

certain rooms

where people would go

to a smoke or to drink.

The dorms were usually be

drug dorms

or not drug dorms.

Or drinking dorms

or not drinking dorms.

I assume that you no more

than I wish to be identified

with the newspaper language

used to invite us all

spoilt preppies,

too much privilege,

too much cash,

adolescent pawns for criminals,

self-centered elites...

With about twice

as much money collected

from even more students

would once again

board a plane

with the cocaine hidden

but this time,

his luck was about to run out.

We picked up the bags

and started to walk

towards the checkout door

and immediately we were stopped

by some of the badge.

What did you think

when they put those cuffs?

I felt really destroyed.

I felt completely at the mercy.

I mean, five minutes

before I thought

I was on top of the world.

And I was all set nothing

ever gonna get to me.

And five minutes later,

I had no power.
