1. What's up,
my name is DeMarcus Tillman.
Copy !req
2. If you don't already know who I am,
Copy !req
3. you'll find out soon enough.
Copy !req
4. He's an all-around player. He can shoot,
Copy !req
5. pass, he's got the boards, blocks,
Copy !req
6. steals.
Copy !req
7. His speed, his movement is unsurpassed.
Copy !req
8. No one's quicker than DeMarcus.
Copy !req
9. Lateral speed.
Copy !req
10. That's what sets DeMarcus apart.
Copy !req
11. He'll cross you like Kyrie,
then cut back like Curry.
Copy !req
12. What are my strengths?
Copy !req
13. I feel like it'd be easier to ask
what my weaknesses are.
Copy !req
14. Which really don't think I have any.
Copy !req
15. Oh, yeah, he's always joking.
Copy !req
16. He's joking with the players, with me.
Copy !req
17. He's got the refs laughing.
Copy !req
18. I mean, he's hysterical.
Copy !req
19. But don't let that fool you,
he's a competitor.
Copy !req
20. He practices day and night
until they close up shop.
Copy !req
21. Back in sixth grade,
Copy !req
22. when we had no fancy court
or fancy uniforms or nothing,
Copy !req
23. it was just summer rec league ball.
Copy !req
24. And hand-me-downs back at Rainier Beach.
Copy !req
25. Even back then,
you knew D was gon' make it.
Copy !req
26. Think I was
like ten years old when I realized—
Copy !req
27. I felt like I was different.
Copy !req
28. When we go out the street,
Copy !req
29. I'd play kids that was older,
five, ten years older than me,
Copy !req
30. and it's like I could keep up.
Copy !req
31. Some of those people,
they my biggest supporters to this day,
Copy !req
32. 'cause they feel like
they watched me grow up.
Copy !req
33. But it all started here.
Copy !req
34. And he's a natural leader.
Copy !req
35. He's got a high basketball IQ,
and barring injury,
Copy !req
36. he's going to be a very high lottery pick.
Copy !req
37. Mr. Untouchable.
Copy !req
38. I like that name.
Copy !req
39. We had a game, I think it was
my seventh grade year,
Copy !req
40. and it was like 20 seconds left
and we was up,
Copy !req
41. so I knew once I inbound it,
they wanted to foul me.
Copy !req
42. So when I got the ball,
I just had to shout in my mind,
Copy !req
43. "They're not touching you."
Copy !req
44. I'm dribbling around, I'm crossing,
running off screens.
Copy !req
45. I felt like Flash,
Copy !req
46. like I was just diving through,
cutting through everybody.
Copy !req
47. Snap this guy's ankles, you know?
Copy !req
48. This dude's kneecaps is on the ground.
Copy !req
49. And they couldn't touch him, so,
Mr. Untouchable.
Copy !req
50. The violin.
Copy !req
51. The violin is, like, my celebration.
Copy !req
52. You know? It's for the haters.
Copy !req
53. Everybody complaining,
everybody got something negative to say.
Copy !req
54. Just trying to explain
why they can't touch me.
Copy !req
55. There you go,
there's an instrumental for you.
Copy !req
56. For all the sad songs you sing,
I got this for you right here.
Copy !req
57. 'Cause I'm Mr. Untouchable.
Copy !req
58. Who is DeMarcus Tillman?
Copy !req
59. He's the premier athlete in the state,
Copy !req
60. the pride of St. Bernardine.
Copy !req
61. And such a prominent fixture
of the school,
Copy !req
62. that they put his picture
on the high school's homepage,
Copy !req
63. which means if Chloe Lyman's
accusations are right,
Copy !req
64. and DeMarcus is the Turd Burglar,
Copy !req
65. responsible for all three crimes,
Copy !req
66. the school had a lot to lose.
Copy !req
67. It was DeMarcus.
Copy !req
68. I know what I saw.
Copy !req
69. It was the day before the Poop Piñata.
Copy !req
70. We were at an away game.
Copy !req
71. The girls had just played
and the boys were up next.
Copy !req
72. I ran into him in line
at the vending machine.
Copy !req
73. He was getting some Gatorade,
Copy !req
74. and he pulled out this shitty, old wallet,
Copy !req
75. and that's when I saw it.
Copy !req
76. It was a Turd Burglar card,
just like the one on Instagram.
Copy !req
77. That's how I knew that Kevin was innocent.
Copy !req
78. No other card looks like it.
Copy !req
79. It's poop.
Copy !req
80. How well do you remember that day?
Copy !req
81. It was a Thursday.
Copy !req
82. We'd just played Tollgate.
Copy !req
83. The girls lost by one point,
Copy !req
84. but the boys won in a landslide.
Copy !req
85. It was honestly over by halftime.
Copy !req
86. And what's your relationship like
with DeMarcus?
Copy !req
87. Great. No,
I have nothing against DeMarcus.
Copy !req
88. - Oh, yeah!
Copy !req
89. When the girls are playing,
he comes out and cheers us on.
Copy !req
90. Pay attention, ref!
Copy !req
91. She's fouling Claire every time!
Copy !req
92. Claire, Beth, Samantha, Becky...
Copy !req
93. So I love DeMarcus. I really do.
Copy !req
94. And did anyone else see the card?
Copy !req
95. Gonzo did, but he's...
Copy !req
96. definitely not gonna talk about it.
Copy !req
97. Why not?
Copy !req
98. He's on the basketball team
with DeMarcus.
Copy !req
99. It was hard enough for me to come forward.
Copy !req
100. He's definitely not gonna...
Copy !req
101. That would be bad. No.
Copy !req
102. Well, I was with Chloe.
Copy !req
103. - I feel like she told you that already.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
104. Like, I was there with her
and she said that she saw the card,
Copy !req
105. but, you know, I saw it, too.
Copy !req
106. But it wasn't
like what you guys think it was.
Copy !req
107. It wasn't the Turd Burglar card.
It was, um...
Copy !req
108. Have you ever been to the...
Copy !req
109. the Yummy Swirl Yogurt place?
Copy !req
110. - I don't think—
- You know—
Copy !req
111. - You've never been there?
- No.
Copy !req
112. They hand out these little punch cards,
and you get, like, seven you get one free.
Copy !req
113. It was that card. Right?
Copy !req
114. And it looks like it's got
a chocolate swirl on it
Copy !req
115. and it looks like shit.
Copy !req
116. I mean, they don't really realize that,
Copy !req
117. but everyone else—
like, it looks like shit.
Copy !req
118. So it doesn't look anything
like this card?
Copy !req
119. No, it's funny,
because it does look like this...
Copy !req
120. Instead of purple,
It's more of a deep blue,
Copy !req
121. and there are no googly eyes.
Copy !req
122. But the yogurt swirl does look
like the Turd Burglar's avatar:
Copy !req
123. a tight coil of poop.
Copy !req
124. Are you saying that because you're
on the basketball team with DeMarcus?
Copy !req
125. No. No, I saw—
Copy !req
126. I promise you,
Copy !req
127. I saw the yogurt.
Copy !req
128. And Gonzo said it was open
just for a second, so you could see-
Copy !req
129. - No.
- What?
Copy !req
130. No, he left it open
until his drink dropped.
Copy !req
131. Really.
Copy !req
132. It was just staring back at me
the entire time.
Copy !req
133. But you can see what we're saying.
Copy !req
134. Like, these cards look, like,
scarily alike.
Copy !req
135. I see. I can understand.
Copy !req
136. Okay, look.
Copy !req
137. The Yummy Swirl card
does not have googly eyes.
Copy !req
138. - Right?
- Yes.
Copy !req
139. And I...
Copy !req
140. I was staring at it
for a really long time.
Copy !req
141. And I know those eyes.
Copy !req
142. Those are the Turd Burglar eyes.
Copy !req
143. If what Chloe is saying is true,
Copy !req
144. then it looks really bad for DeMarcus.
Copy !req
145. Yeah, that'd be the smoking gun evidence.
Copy !req
146. Exactly.
Copy !req
147. So, if she saw it in the wallet,
then DeMarcus is the Turd Burglar.
Copy !req
148. Two conflicting memories
of the same event.
Copy !req
149. Different in the smallest,
most damning of details.
Copy !req
150. There's no way of knowing
which version of the story is the truth.
Copy !req
151. But if DeMarcus did commit
the poop crimes,
Copy !req
152. and Kevin is innocent,
Copy !req
153. why would DeMarcus do it?
Copy !req
154. Does he have something against
the student body?
Copy !req
155. Is it possible he feels like an outsider,
Copy !req
156. like Kevin?
Copy !req
157. Oh.
Let's go!
Copy !req
158. Yeah!
Copy !req
159. Ah!
Copy !req
160. Oh!
Yeah.
Copy !req
161. Holy shit. Netflix, what's up, bro?
Copy !req
162. Hi. Peter— Ow.
Copy !req
163. One, two, three, break!
Copy !req
164. Vandal boys. What's up, man?
I heard y'all was coming.
Copy !req
165. You grew up
in Rainier Beach, correct?
Copy !req
166. You been reading my Wikipedia, huh?
Copy !req
167. Shout out to all the homies
in Rainier Beach. We out here. Yeah.
Copy !req
168. Netflix, baby.
Copy !req
169. So, you drive about like, what,
Copy !req
170. maybe like 40 minutes to a town
that is really different from your own.
Copy !req
171. Yeah.
- Do you feel like a bit of an outsider?
Copy !req
172. Hell no, man. Fuck that.
Copy !req
173. A lot of kids, they be saying Bellevue
is bougie and all that,
Copy !req
174. but it's tight.
Copy !req
175. I like all the people here.
Like, watch this.
Copy !req
176. Hey, Squeak! Come here, man.
Copy !req
177. Hustle up, baby.
Copy !req
178. This my man Squeak.
We look real different, right?
Copy !req
179. But this still my man. It don't matter.
Copy !req
180. I'm no more important to this team
than the rest of these guys.
Copy !req
181. Even though I might score 31,
12 rebounds, just nasty,
Copy !req
182. Squeak might get— What you be scoring?
Like two free throws?
Copy !req
183. Squeak is still just as important as I am.
Copy !req
184. You feel me?
Copy !req
185. Like, sometimes, low-key,
I'll be wondering why he play basketball,
Copy !req
186. 'cause he not that good.
Copy !req
187. I think his mom probably signed him up
or something.
Copy !req
188. Like for college,
he be needing sports but whatever.
Copy !req
189. Get the hell out of here, Squeak.
God damn, man!
Copy !req
190. Squeak want that camera time.
But, yeah, that's my man.
Copy !req
191. And so you don't feel any sort
of a different class system at all?
Copy !req
192. Nah, if anything,
I'm in, like, a higher class.
Copy !req
193. I don't approach it like that.
Copy !req
194. Like, I look down at people with love.
Copy !req
195. Straight up.
Copy !req
196. DeMarcus and Lou
are actually pretty great guys.
Copy !req
197. You'd think they'd be like Bill Ryan
or Andy Gold on the lacrosse team,
Copy !req
198. but they're not complete assholes.
Copy !req
199. Yo, this my main man Lou right here.
Copy !req
200. You know what it is,
most assists on the team, most passes.
Copy !req
201. I mean, he inbound the ball,
I take it forecourt and I score
Copy !req
202. - but they count it as an assist for him.
- Whatever.
Copy !req
203. A dime a dime.
I give it to you, you make the shit.
Copy !req
204. That's my man.
I wouldn't do anything without this dude.
Copy !req
205. He the brains behind the future empire.
Copy !req
206. - Straight up.
- I hoop, he do marketing,
Copy !req
207. all type of crazy stuff.
Copy !req
208. Like the whole violin thing,
I came up with that.
Copy !req
209. - Yup.
- I played violin in fifth grade.
Copy !req
210. - I was like, "Bro, that'd be tight."
- Yeah. Like, just sing 'em to sleep.
Copy !req
211. - 'Cause they be crying all the time.
- Whining.
Copy !req
212. He was like, "Yo, just play the violin."
I thought, "That's nasty!"
Copy !req
213. Since then I been playing the violin.
It just catch on.
Copy !req
214. These are my people. This is my world.
Copy !req
215. Hey!
Copy !req
216. That's my boy Spinach.
Copy !req
217. I mean, I love the school.
Copy !req
218. I love the people and the people love me.
I feel like I'm friends with everybody.
Copy !req
219. Each handshake kind of represents
my relationship with that person
Copy !req
220. and part of who that person is.
Copy !req
221. This my man Asian Josh.
Copy !req
222. He really Mexican, though.
That's crazy. Get to class, bro.
Copy !req
223. I like to bring out their insecurities
Copy !req
224. and make them more secure
with their handshake.
Copy !req
225. Two-tops, butterfly, pinkie promise.
Copy !req
226. Shh, don't tell nobody.
Copy !req
227. She in theater. She's really creative.
She made up that handshake actually.
Copy !req
228. A lot of people that's cool,
they try to be cool,
Copy !req
229. and that ain't really cool.
Copy !req
230. But being cool with being a weirdo,
Copy !req
231. I think that's super cool.
Copy !req
232. Hey, what's up, man!
Copy !req
233. Like Big Head Ed. His head is so big.
Copy !req
234. But he's cool with it.
Copy !req
235. Boy, that boy head big as shit.
Copy !req
236. He don't try to hide his head
and it's like,
Copy !req
237. you gotta accept and respect Big Head Ed.
Copy !req
238. Sister Patty Cakes, how you doing?
Copy !req
239. I'm good, how are you?
Copy !req
240. I think handshakes and nicknames,
Copy !req
241. I think they do the same thing,
Copy !req
242. they serve the same purpose
of making people feel more comfortable
Copy !req
243. and making 'em feel special.
Copy !req
244. Remember, jelly at the end.
Copy !req
245. - Jelly?
- Finesse.
Copy !req
246. You know what it is?
Copy !req
247. It's like every handshake
is like a McNugget.
Copy !req
248. You know, it's completely unique.
Copy !req
249. Well, I don't think
every McNugget is completely unique.
Copy !req
250. I think there's only, like,
four shapes, actually.
Copy !req
251. For real?
Copy !req
252. Yeah, they only come in four shapes.
Copy !req
253. I just don't see a motive.
Copy !req
254. You know, he gets along
with everybody at the school.
Copy !req
255. So, why would he want to commit
Copy !req
256. any of the poop crimes?
Copy !req
257. He wouldn't be doing this to get back
at the school, you know?
Copy !req
258. But maybe we're looking at it wrong.
Look, pay attention.
Copy !req
259. The police made it seem like this
was some dark, vengeful crime,
Copy !req
260. that Kevin was trying to get back
at the school for years of bullying.
Copy !req
261. He wanted to shit all over the school
because of the Shit Stain McClain.
Copy !req
262. But what if the motive is as simple
as a prank?
Copy !req
263. What if this is just DeMarcus
thinking that poop is funny?
Copy !req
264. Poop is funny.
Copy !req
265. Exactly, that works for this motive.
Copy !req
266. It seems a little elaborate
to just be a prank.
Copy !req
267. It is elaborate,
Copy !req
268. but it's not the first time St. Bernardine
dealt with such an intricate prank.
Copy !req
269. And more importantly,
Copy !req
270. it's not the first time a star athlete
has been accused of pulling one off.
Copy !req
271. Sir Fuxalot was hilarious.
Copy !req
272. Nobody knew what happened
to the mascot costume.
Copy !req
273. It just disappeared
Copy !req
274. and somebody just started posting signs
all over the school.
Copy !req
275. When the costume went missing,
we knew we were screwed.
Copy !req
276. We had the biggest competition
of the year that weekend.
Copy !req
277. We had to rent this cheap Halloween
knight costume.
Copy !req
278. I'm pretty sure that's why
we didn't place that year.
Copy !req
279. The cheerleaders got all butthurt
about it.
Copy !req
280. Especially Paige Burton.
She flipped her shit.
Copy !req
281. That's when the costume
showed up online.
Copy !req
282. Somebody took the mascot costume
and started going around
Copy !req
283. and started taking pictures
and posting them on Instagram.
Copy !req
284. All of the posts were directed
at Paige Burton.
Copy !req
285. "I'm depressed, drunk,
and horny for thee, Paige.
Copy !req
286. Yeah, the faculty said
they didn't know who did it,
Copy !req
287. but they knew.
Copy !req
288. We knew it had to be Perry.
Copy !req
289. Who else would Photoshop Paige Burton's
face next to a purple dildo?
Copy !req
290. Paige was pissed.
This thing went on for weeks.
Copy !req
291. Like, what could she do about it?
It was Perry.
Copy !req
292. Perry Coleman,
Copy !req
293. St. Bernardine's top basketball prospect
from 2016.
Copy !req
294. Everybody knew it was Perry,
Copy !req
295. but nobody called him out on it.
Copy !req
296. Not only did Perry face
no repercussions for his prank,
Copy !req
297. he was revered for it.
Copy !req
298. That shit was next level,
you feel me?
Copy !req
299. Like, who puts a big dick
on a mascot costume?
Copy !req
300. That shit is so funny.
Copy !req
301. He was always thinking of stuff
like that, man.
Copy !req
302. Like, that dude is probably the funniest
motherfucker I ever met.
Copy !req
303. DeMarcus idolizes Perry.
Copy !req
304. He wants to be just like him.
Copy !req
305. DeMarcus would like and comment
on the Sir Fuxalot Instagram,
Copy !req
306. then two years later,
Perry would like and comment
Copy !req
307. on the Turd Burglar Instagram.
Copy !req
308. Is it possible that DeMarcus'
motive for the Turd Burglar
Copy !req
309. is no different than Perry's?
Copy !req
310. Simply a prank he knew he'd get away with?
Copy !req
311. If St. Bernardine is a school
that turns a blind eye to its athletes,
Copy !req
312. what else went overlooked?
Copy !req
313. When do privileges and freedoms
Copy !req
314. become free rein?
Copy !req
315. DeMarcus can go anywhere he wants
in this school.
Copy !req
316. He has more access than anyone.
Copy !req
317. Yeah, no, DeMarcus is real tight
with the cafeteria staff.
Copy !req
318. He gets free food, whatever.
They all love him.
Copy !req
319. We'll hook him up a little bit.
Copy !req
320. You know, 'cause we came
from the same place, so,
Copy !req
321. I have to look out for him.
Copy !req
322. He's a good kid.
Copy !req
323. He wished my boy a happy birthday
last year.
Copy !req
324. Happy birthday.
Hopefully, one day you can grow up
Copy !req
325. and make chicken fingers
just as good as your dad.
Copy !req
326. Yo, this motherfucker right here
make the greatest chicken nuggets,
Copy !req
327. the best I ever had.
Copy !req
328. You know? Ay, I apologize for cussing,
Copy !req
329. but one day you gon' learn it anyway,
so that's my gift from me to you.
Copy !req
330. Fuck it, happy birthday, bro. Turn up.
Copy !req
331. - Happy birthday, baby boy.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
332. He's got more access to that place
than anyone.
Copy !req
333. Doesn't matter. Open, closed...
Copy !req
334. He kind of gets whatever he wants.
Copy !req
335. The police claimed
that Kevin snuck into the kitchen
Copy !req
336. through the back door
during the fire alarm,
Copy !req
337. but DeMarcus wouldn't
have had to sneak at all.
Copy !req
338. Thanks to his relationship
with the lunch staff,
Copy !req
339. DeMarcus could have
walked right through the front.
Copy !req
340. - Saint...
Bernie!
Copy !req
341. Fuck yeah!
Copy !req
342. My bad. Heck yeah!
Copy !req
343. Could DeMarcus' status
have also given him access
Copy !req
344. to the launchers? And a front row seat
Copy !req
345. to another poop crime?
Copy !req
346. Oh, yeah!
Copy !req
347. The T-shirt launchers,
Copy !req
348. they're in the locker room,
the athletics locker room,
Copy !req
349. right off the main gym.
Copy !req
350. It's not the locker room for phys-ed
or anything else.
Copy !req
351. You have to be an athlete
to get into that locker room.
Copy !req
352. DeMarcus is always practicing.
Copy !req
353. Before school, after school, free periods.
Copy !req
354. Of course DeMarcus had access.
Every athlete does.
Copy !req
355. But you know who doesn't? Kevin.
Copy !req
356. We now approach the end
of my 200-yard radius.
Copy !req
357. So I'm either at home
with my sister and my grandmother,
Copy !req
358. or here, at the 24 Stop.
Copy !req
359. - I spat. So what? Oh.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
360. Imagine seeing me
Copy !req
361. in the basketball locker room
before the pep rally.
Copy !req
362. I-I... The Fruit Ninja.
Copy !req
363. Kevin McClain.
Copy !req
364. There was not one witness
saying that they saw
Copy !req
365. Kevin McClain in the locker room.
Copy !req
366. Don't you think that I would be noticed?
Copy !req
367. It would be like seeing DeMarcus
at the Philharmonic.
Copy !req
368. And Kevin has a point.
Copy !req
369. There's no question that the gym
is a home to DeMarcus.
Copy !req
370. But what about Ms. Montgomery's
English classroom?
Copy !req
371. Would he get special treatment there, too?
Copy !req
372. Well, we know that DeMarcus
and Ms. Montgomery
Copy !req
373. have a history together.
Copy !req
374. Because of the poem.
- Yes.
Copy !req
375. So, DeMarcus
wrote a poem last year.
Copy !req
376. Jesus, that poem.
Copy !req
377. [Lil K] DeMarcus named his poem
Copy !req
378. "Out of Bounds: A Baller's Promise."
Copy !req
379. "Through the hoop, through the hole
Copy !req
380. And that is my truth
Copy !req
381. The ball is my soul"
Copy !req
382. That poem was closer to Dr. Seuss
Copy !req
383. than it was to...
Copy !req
384. a more serious poet.
Copy !req
385. "You may not be pretty
Copy !req
386. Or have lips to kiss
Copy !req
387. But when you slip through that hoop"
Copy !req
388. "It feels like pure bliss"
Copy !req
389. Ms. Montgomery is, like,
obsessed with DeMarcus.
Copy !req
390. I think of myself as Sandra Bullock
in The Blind Side.
Copy !req
391. Um...
Copy !req
392. And just being so connected
Copy !req
393. with my students,
Copy !req
394. the way Sandra was connected with, um...
Copy !req
395. ah, the black kid in that movie.
Copy !req
396. He was great. Love him.
Copy !req
397. So, she published it in the school
newspaper without asking him.
Copy !req
398. I honestly felt bad for him.
Copy !req
399. How could you not?
Copy !req
400. People started to post it online,
Copy !req
401. then other schools started to see it.
Copy !req
402. Everybody got their hands on it.
I'm talking Hendricken, La Salle.
Copy !req
403. And the whole fuckin' student section
would chant it during his free throws.
Copy !req
404. Through the hoop!
Through the hole!
Copy !req
405. The net is my truth!
The ball is my soul!
Copy !req
406. It was insane.
It got a little out of hand.
Copy !req
407. The net is my truth!
The ball is my soul!
Copy !req
408. I don't really got a problem
with Ms. Montgomery.
Copy !req
409. But I low-key feel like she shouldn't
have shared that poem.
Copy !req
410. You know what I mean?
That shit was supposed to be private.
Copy !req
411. But she let everybody see the poem.
Copy !req
412. First off, I really don't even
do homework,
Copy !req
413. so when I decided to do that,
I thought it would be fun.
Copy !req
414. I really didn't put a lot into it,
but it was my first poem ever.
Copy !req
415. I feel like Shakespeare's first poem
was probably trash, too.
Copy !req
416. My first poem was
probably better than his.
Copy !req
417. And look who he grew up to be.
Copy !req
418. Like, one of the most famous
white people ever.
Copy !req
419. I felt bad the other kids weren't
mature enough to appreciate his poem,
Copy !req
420. and it was my fault.
Copy !req
421. So now I let him use my classroom.
Copy !req
422. You know, when he needs to nap
or listen to music.
Copy !req
423. I've actually grown to like
some of his music.
Copy !req
424. I can always tell DeMarcus
is in her classroom,
Copy !req
425. - 'cause I can hear Migos playing.
Copy !req
426. DeMarcus clearly had access
to Ms. Montgomery's room,
Copy !req
427. and it's a recurring theme.
Copy !req
428. The Turd Burglar committed
three crimes in three rooms
Copy !req
429. where DeMarcus Tillman
had special privileges.
Copy !req
430. Was DeMarcus ever questioned
regarding the Turd Burglar crimes?
Copy !req
431. You're asking me if
Copy !req
432. our star basketball player was
Copy !req
433. questioned for the Turd Burglar crimes?
Copy !req
434. No.
Copy !req
435. Well, it's just his access
is almost unparalleled—
Copy !req
436. DeMarcus, he doesn't have time
to fool around and play pranks.
Copy !req
437. I know his schedule.
Copy !req
438. He's either in the classroom
or on the court practicing.
Copy !req
439. Yeah, but where was he
during the fire drill on November 6th?
Copy !req
440. He was with me.
Copy !req
441. And what about the lunch on November 10th?
Copy !req
442. With me.
Copy !req
443. And the lunch on the 14th?
Copy !req
444. With me and the rest of the players.
Copy !req
445. If Coach Devlin is right,
Copy !req
446. if DeMarcus hasn't missed
a single practice at lunch
Copy !req
447. and was with Devlin during the fire drill,
Copy !req
448. then there's no way DeMarcus
could have committed any of these crimes.
Copy !req
449. The lemonade was tainted
during the fire drill.
Copy !req
450. Ms. Montgomery's class
was only unattended at lunch.
Copy !req
451. And the T-shirt cannons
would have had to have been loaded
Copy !req
452. right before the pep rally during lunch.
Copy !req
453. So if what Coach Devlin is saying
is accurate,
Copy !req
454. then DeMarcus has a rock-solid alibi
Copy !req
455. for all three crimes.
Copy !req
456. One that's corroborated
by a faculty member.
Copy !req
457. Of course Coach Devlin is DeMarcus' alibi.
Copy !req
458. He's lying.
Copy !req
459. DeMarcus is
Coach Devlin's golden goose.
Copy !req
460. I do not go to an academic institution
with a basketball program.
Copy !req
461. I attend a basketball business
with an academic facade.
Copy !req
462. It's a bold accusation,
Copy !req
463. but could there be truth in it?
Copy !req
464. St. Bernardine does pull in a lot of money
from its basketball program,
Copy !req
465. but would the administration
actively cover for an athlete
Copy !req
466. to save their revenue stream?
Copy !req
467. All at the expense
of a student like Kevin?
Copy !req
468. Athletics are important at St. Bernardine,
Copy !req
469. but you have to remember
that athletics helps with donations,
Copy !req
470. it helps with enrollment.
Copy !req
471. We wouldn't have these great facilities
here at St. Bernardine
Copy !req
472. without the successful athletics program.
Copy !req
473. But our curriculum
is one of the toughest in the state.
Copy !req
474. We have a saying.
Copy !req
475. It's, "Greatness on the field,
excellence in the classroom."
Copy !req
476. "Greatness on the field,
excellence in the classroom"?
Copy !req
477. It's fuckin' bullshit.
Copy !req
478. DeMarcus's grades
jumped dramatically at St. Bernardine.
Copy !req
479. He went from a 2.04 GPA
at Deer River Junior High...
Copy !req
480. to a 3.41 at St. Bernie.
Copy !req
481. I mean, the athletes have it so easy here.
Copy !req
482. Like, they're taking zoology
while we're doing microbiology.
Copy !req
483. A lot of people say zoology is bullshit.
I disagree.
Copy !req
484. Think about other classes, like math,
Copy !req
485. where you gotta deal
with imaginary numbers.
Copy !req
486. They're not real, bro. They're imaginary.
Copy !req
487. That's pointless.
It's irrelevant to my life.
Copy !req
488. But zoology is different.
Copy !req
489. Like, for instance, did you know
dolphins weren't fish?
Copy !req
490. Dolphins are mammals, bro. That's crazy.
Copy !req
491. Like, they're just like us,
they just swim.
Copy !req
492. And they have, like, smoother skin.
Copy !req
493. I mean, athletes have it easy
at St. Bernie's,
Copy !req
494. but DeMarcus...
Copy !req
495. No, he can get away
with anything he wants.
Copy !req
496. Hello?
Copy !req
497. I'm sorry, my bad. I gotta take this.
Copy !req
498. If he wants a hall pass,
he just goes to Devlin.
Copy !req
499. Late slip, Devlin. Detention, Devlin.
Copy !req
500. I mean, the guy wields so much power.
Copy !req
501. Honestly, the school would fire
the principal
Copy !req
502. before they would fire Devlin.
Copy !req
503. He brings in all the money.
Copy !req
504. And because of that,
all the athletes are treated different.
Copy !req
505. Guys like DeMarcus,
Copy !req
506. they live above the law.
Copy !req
507. If an athlete does something stupid,
Copy !req
508. they just get a warning and a pass.
Copy !req
509. But if someone else
that's not an athlete does it,
Copy !req
510. it's a detention,
or they get suspended or expelled.
Copy !req
511. Look, Perry Coleman
only got away with Sir Fuxalot
Copy !req
512. because he was an athlete.
Copy !req
513. Like, look what happened
to Grayson Wentz that same year.
Copy !req
514. A few years back,
Copy !req
515. the school forgot to block Twitter
in the computer lab,
Copy !req
516. so a bunch of kids were logging on
and tweeting during class.
Copy !req
517. The thing is, a bunch of dumbasses
left their accounts logged in.
Copy !req
518. [Lil K] If you leave your shit logged in,
people are gonna fuck with it.
Copy !req
519. It's like when you fall asleep
with your shoes on,
Copy !req
520. people are gonna draw a dick on your face.
Copy !req
521. Grayson? I guess Grayson fucked
with one too many people
Copy !req
522. and the administration got pissed.
Copy !req
523. I had discovered Grayson, um...
Copy !req
524. who, you know, had typically been
a pretty troubled kid, uh...
Copy !req
525. I discovered he was tweeting
some pretty unsavory stuff.
Copy !req
526. A tweet from March 2016,
Copy !req
527. from his classmate's account.
Copy !req
528. "My dick's gonna fall off.
Copy !req
529. @jessrodriguez99 infected me
with crotch goblins.
Copy !req
530. As you probably are aware,
these computers are supposed to be used
Copy !req
531. for nothing but schoolwork.
Copy !req
532. You know, least of all,
cyberbullying and...
Copy !req
533. And, so yeah,
Copy !req
534. I turned that case over
to the disciplinary council,
Copy !req
535. and sadly for Grayson, uh...
Copy !req
536. he was expelled.
Copy !req
537. Grayson's a weirdo, but I couldn't believe
they actually expelled him
Copy !req
538. over a few tweets about "chlamyds."
Copy !req
539. So, do you mind telling me
your story and exactly how you...
Copy !req
540. ended up here.
Copy !req
541. Yeah, sure. I made a joke
Copy !req
542. through Twitter
Copy !req
543. to Jess Rodriguez and they kicked me out
of the fucking school,
Copy !req
544. Mr. Gesualdi, the computer teacher,
knew it was me
Copy !req
545. 'cause I did it from the computer lab,
and ta-da, here I am,
Copy !req
546. kicked out and livin' large.
Copy !req
547. Once the fraudulent tweets
Copy !req
548. were brought
to the administration's attention,
Copy !req
549. swift action was taken
against Grayson Wentz.
Copy !req
550. He was expelled a week later
Copy !req
551. What Grayson did was irredeemable,
Copy !req
552. but it's exactly what Perry Coleman
did to Paige Burton.
Copy !req
553. People treated Sir Fuxalot
like it was so funny.
Copy !req
554. Hmm... It just wasn't funny to me.
Copy !req
555. Every day in the hallway,
people are shouting,
Copy !req
556. "When you gonna fuck the knight?"
Copy !req
557. Or, "You really blow the Duxbury Dolphin?"
Copy !req
558. It was humiliating.
Copy !req
559. I go to the administration
and I tell what Perry did
Copy !req
560. and nothing happened.
Copy !req
561. And I filed multiple complaints
Copy !req
562. and Perry never even got questioned.
Copy !req
563. Nobody cared.
Copy !req
564. What happened to Perry?
Copy !req
565. A pat on the back
and a platitude about boys being boys.
Copy !req
566. See, that is the difference
between being a star athlete
Copy !req
567. and just your run-of-the-mill
St. Bernardine student.
Copy !req
568. If we could throw a ball through a hoop,
Copy !req
569. perhaps it would be a different story.
Copy !req
570. Do you feel like maybe they treated you
differently than Perry Coleman?
Copy !req
571. I mean, do you know what he did to her?
Copy !req
572. - It's kinda like fucked up, you know?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
573. I did, like, three or four tweets
and I'm expelled.
Copy !req
574. He does, like, months of shit
to this girl.
Copy !req
575. And he ends up at UCLA.
I mean...
Copy !req
576. St. Bernardine is all about basketball.
Copy !req
577. It's the lifeblood of the school.
Copy !req
578. DeMarcus Tillman can get away with murder.
Copy !req
579. Guys like Kevin and me,
Copy !req
580. well, we're easy scapegoats.
Copy !req
581. That's why they end up at UCLA,
Copy !req
582. and we end up with ankle bracelets,
Copy !req
583. and a job at the fucking Kirkland Mall.
Copy !req
584. Is there a double standard
at St. Bernardine?
Copy !req
585. Would the administration go as far
as covering up a crime
Copy !req
586. committed by their most valuable asset?
Copy !req
587. Would they let an innocent man
take the fall?
Copy !req
588. So I wanted
to sit down with you because...
Copy !req
589. we have reason to believe
that Kevin McClain
Copy !req
590. - may not be the Turd Burglar.
- Oh, shit.
Copy !req
591. Isn't it true that Perry Coleman was a...
Copy !req
592. was a pretty notorious prankster
Copy !req
593. at St. Bernardine while he was here?
Copy !req
594. Wait. You suggesting
that fucking Perry did it?
Copy !req
595. You know he lives in LA?
Copy !req
596. I don't believe that Perry Coleman did it.
Copy !req
597. It's just...
Copy !req
598. it seems to me that...
Copy !req
599. Perry almost set a precedent
that athletes pull off pranks,
Copy !req
600. and that, you know...
Copy !req
601. it seems as if you look up to him,
Copy !req
602. you guys even share the same
basketball number.
Copy !req
603. Are you—
Copy !req
604. You're suggesting
that I'm the Turd Burglar?
Copy !req
605. I'm just asking a few questions,
that's all.
Copy !req
606. Okay.
Copy !req
607. Are you a fan of Yummy Swirl Yogurt?
Copy !req
608. It's fucking yogurt. Yeah. What about it?
Copy !req
609. So...
Copy !req
610. So you like Yummy—
Have you ever been there?
Copy !req
611. Bro, why are you asking me about yogurt?
Copy !req
612. You want to get to the crime.
Copy !req
613. Kevin said he did it,
you don't believe he did it.
Copy !req
614. You're bringing up Perry,
but you don't believe he did it.
Copy !req
615. And for no reason at all,
you believe I did it.
Copy !req
616. And for some reason
we're talking about yogurt.
Copy !req
617. Shit, bro, I'm done
with your little yogurt talk.
Copy !req
618. I like yogurt.
Is that what you want to hear?
Copy !req
619. All flavors.
Copy !req
620. Pistachio. Cookies and cream.
Copy !req
621. - Potato salad.
Copy !req
622. Put the fuckin' circle balls
with the little fruit flavors,
Copy !req
623. but it's just juice in the middle.
Copy !req
624. All that stuff, bro.
Copy !req
625. I'm a yogurt connoisseur!
Copy !req
626. What is life like
for someone like DeMarcus Tillman?
Copy !req
627. Someone who's been larger-than-life
since the day he was born.
Copy !req
628. Someone who's been showered
with praise and attention
Copy !req
629. for as long as he can remember.
Copy !req
630. Who is treated like he can do no wrong.
Copy !req
631. Hello?
Copy !req
632. As if his actions
have no consequences.
Copy !req
633. Someone who walks between the raindrops.
Copy !req
634. - What does that do to you mentally?
Copy !req
635. Would you feel
Copy !req
636. untouchable?
Copy !req
637. How far would you push your luck?
Copy !req
638. Don't prod me.
I'm sorry for being mean to you.
Copy !req
639. I'm sensitive sometimes.
Copy !req
640. You know what, if you need anything,
let me know.
Copy !req
641. I ain't going nowhere, Pete.
Copy !req
642. If you were untouchable...
Copy !req
643. - I'm going nowhere.
- ... how bold would you be?
Copy !req
