Tom
I think my dad is a murderer.
Tom
Your dad is innocent.
Jane
He already confessed to the accident.
Jane
And to drunk driving.
Tom
I have a lot of suspicion.
Jane
What are you saying?
Tom
The way he acts around the house.
Tom
Like he's happy your dad is going to prison.
Tom
It's like he's got some big secret he can't reveal to anyone.
Tom
Much more than usual.
Jane
My dad was drunk and he hit that car and killed that man.
Jane
Now 3 kids have no father. A wife has no husband.
Jane
I love him but what he did was wrong, & he accepts his justice.
Jane
Why are you trying to interfere?
Jane
If you think you're helping, you're not.
Tom
This is another election year...
Tom
and my dad has been in the Senate since before I was born...
Tom
he won't let anything stop him from getting re-elected...
Tom
even a fatal car crash.
Jane
I'm going now. I can't do this.
Sen. Roy
Speak to your mother.
Tom
No, Dad. It's important.
Tom
I think you're hiding something. Something big.
Sen. Roy
Are you on drugs?
Tom
I think you were behind the wheel that night.
Sen. Roy
Thomas, stop this nonsense.
Tom
You were drunk, you hit that car and killed that man.
Sen. Roy
Where are you getting these ideas?
Tom
You're lying... again.
Tom
I can't prove it yet. But I will.
Sen. Roy
You have been under a lot of stress. School, the media, the photos...
Sen. Roy
Take some time off. I've got an early graduation present for you...
Sen. Roy
that car you always wanted.
Tom
You can't bribe me like I'm one of your campaign donors.
Tom
I'm going to the media. Speak out about my suspicions.
Sen. Roy
Son, if you crawl in that dirt, and roll around with those bottom-feeding maggots...
Sen. Roy
I will send you to reformatory so fast you won't know what hit you.
Sen. Roy
That's my promise to you!
Jane
Dad you got a minute?
Jane
I'm worried about you.
Bill
That's so nice. But you know I'll be out in less than 2 years.
Bill
and being that it's my first offense
Bill
I'll probably get out earlier with good behaviour.
Jane
I know, but Tom has been saying some things.
Jane
That you were not the one driving.
Jane
That his father was.
Jane
That you switched places so his dad could run for re-election.
Bill
Tom is just upset. He doesn't know what he is saying.
Bill
Give him some time to come around.
Jane
He knows his dad pretty well
Jane
and I know you very well.
Jane
You can't say no to your best friend
Jane
even if it means hurting your family.
Bill
I know it may be hard to accept that your dad did something very wrong...
Bill
but I've always taught you to do the right thing, no matter who it hurts.
Bill
What kind of father would I be, what kind of example would I set,
Bill
if I didn't do what was right?
Jane
You got to understand something:
Jane
I'd be more hurt if you were lying
Jane
than if you were a serial killer.
Bill
You're getting worked up, Jane.
Bill
Please get some rest and we'll talk about this another time.
Jane
I spoke with my dad.
Tom
Thanks. What did he say?
Jane
That you've got it wrong. That he was the one driving.
Jane
I don't know what to believe
Tom
I'm going to meet a reporter. Tell him my story.
Jane
don't u think u should wait?
Jane
u haven't got any evidence
Tom
I can't wait and see an innocent man go to jail for something my dad did.
Tom
I'm just trying to find the truth.
Jane
Senator, is Tom at home? He doesn't answer his texts.
Sen. Roy
No, Jane. He said he was going to visit you.
Sen. Roy
Can you enlighten me as to what's going on?
Jane
I have no idea, sir. Please have him call me when he gets home.
Sen. Roy
Jane, you be careful.
Sen. Roy
You're a nice girl, and I don't want to see you get hurt by helping Tom in any of his hair-brained ideas.
Sen. Roy
I'm keeping my eye on you.
Detective Bryce
No ma'am. We sent out a patrol, but have not seen Tom.
Sen. Roy
Jane, why did you call the police?
Sen. Roy
This is not going to go well for you or for Tom.
Sen. Roy
You don't know whom you're dealing with!
