[00:03.73]Michael? Michael! I’ll be waiting for you in the lobby, alright?
[00:07.48]
[00:12.05]I don’t know, Sean. I just have a bad feeling about this one.
[00:15.65]
[00:15.98]This woman is tough, tough... hold on.
[00:18.65]
[00:22.05]The client wants what?
[00:24.24]
[00:24.81]Were you aware that coach Cotton is accepting a job at Ole Miss?
[00:28.05]
[00:28.10]No.
[00:29.06]
[00:29.11]And that this job offer came after you signed with them?
[00:32.46]
[00:33.24]Sean Tuohy, your legal guardian went to Ole Miss.
[00:35.94]
[00:36.09]He played basketball.
[00:37.67]
[00:37.72]And Mrs. Tuohy went to Ole Miss as well.
[00:40.26]
[00:40.31]She was a cheerleader.
[00:42.01]
[00:42.09]Is this safe to say that Ole Miss is their favorite school?
[00:44.67]
[00:44.72]Did they like any other universities?
[00:46.83]
[00:46.84]What about, say Tennessee?
[00:48.47]
[00:48.76]No. They can’t stand Tennessee.
[00:50.91]
[00:52.45]-And your tutor... -Miss Sue.
[00:54.45]
[00:54.50]Miss Sue. Miss Sue is an Ole Miss grad, too.
[00:57.74]
[00:59.51]Miss Sue ever tried to persuade you to attend Ole Miss?
[01:02.81]
[01:08.09]Did you know that the Tuohys make generous donations to Ole Miss?
[01:11.31]
[01:11.36]That even Miss Sue makes donations?
[01:14.04]
[01:14.32]That the Tuohys, they have a condo in Oxford
[01:16.55]
[01:16.60]so they can attend as many athletic events as possible?
[01:19.76]
[01:19.81]That, in fact, Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy
[01:22.37]
[01:22.37]are by our definition... "boosters."
[01:24.69]
[01:27.35]Mr. Oher.
[01:28.85]
[01:29.48]Mr. Oher?
[01:30.87]
[01:31.54]Do you understand... do you know, why am I here?
[01:34.49]
[01:35.55]To... investigate.
[01:37.38]
[01:37.48]Yes. To investigate.
[01:39.45]
[01:40.43]I’m here to investigate your odd... predicament.
[01:44.28]
[01:45.37]Do you find it odd? Your predicament?
[01:48.47]
[01:50.83]Michael?...
[01:52.10]
[01:53.19]Iono.
[01:54.51]
[01:56.23]Can I... can I leave now?
[01:57.95]
[01:58.00]No. You can’t.
[01:59.58]
[02:01.24]-What do you want, ma’am? -I want the facts!
[02:03.37]
[02:03.42]-I need the truth. -I didn’t lie!
[02:05.17]
[02:05.22]And I want to know what you think about all this.
[02:07.29]
[02:07.29]Think about what?!
[02:09.37]
[02:17.86]The NCAA fears that with your recruitment a door might be opened
[02:23.11]
[02:24.07]That boosters from lots of schools in the south
[02:26.10]
[02:26.15]will become legal guardians for young athletes without means
[02:28.63]
[02:28.68]And funnel them to their alma maters.
[02:31.13]
[02:32.02]I’m not saying I believe it and I’m not saying I don’t,
[02:35.32]
[02:35.48]But there’re many people involved with this case
[02:37.35]
[02:37.40]who would argue that Tuohys they took you in,
[02:40.23]
[02:40.72]-They clothes you, they fed you. -No.
[02:42.87]
[02:42.92]-They paid for your private education, -No.
[02:44.87]
[02:44.92]-They bought you a car, -No!
[02:46.30]
[02:46.35]-And paid for your tutor, -No.
[02:47.98]
[02:48.03]All as part of a plan
[02:49.48]
[02:49.48]to insure that you play football for the university of Mississippi.
[02:53.08]
[03:10.56]Michael! We’re not finished.
[03:13.14]
[03:13.98]It’s not available. Just like I told you three months ago.
[03:16.51]
[03:16.56]So why don’t we go with the canvas.
[03:18.88]
[03:18.93]The low napa, it’s a beautiful---
[03:20.98]
[03:20.98]Oh, I’ll call you back. Bye.
[03:22.27]
[03:22.32]Michael. So what happened?
[03:24.22]
[03:24.90]-Why’d you do it? -What?
[03:27.34]
[03:27.63]All along you wanted me to go to Ole Miss.
[03:30.14]
[03:30.19]Of course, I did. We love Ole Miss!
[03:32.44]
[03:32.49]Why did you do this for me?
[03:33.58]
[03:33.63]-What? -Everything!
[03:35.17]
[03:35.22]Was it for you or was it for me?
[03:37.42]
[03:37.61]Was it so I would go to school where you wanted?!
[03:40.61]
[03:40.75]Was it so I would do what you wanted?!
[03:43.01]
[03:43.06]-Michael, no... -That’s what she thinks.
[03:45.71]
[03:46.21]Is she right?
[03:47.46]
[03:48.00]Michael, honey,
[03:49.17]
[03:49.17]I need for you just listen to me, alright?
[03:50.26]
[03:50.31]Don’t you dare to lie to me.
[03:52.31]
[03:55.47]I’m not stupid!
[03:57.03]
[03:57.38]Michael?!
[03:58.66]
[03:58.71]Michael, of course, you’re not stupid.
[04:00.34]
[04:00.39]Michael?! Come on.
[04:02.02]
[04:06.52]I should have followed him.
[04:08.39]
[04:08.44]You had no way of knowing he’d disappear.
[04:11.04]
[04:13.41]Was he right?
[04:15.14]
[04:15.98]What he said about us?
[04:17.81]
[04:17.99]Leigh Anne, be reasonable.
[04:19.40]
[04:19.45]We gave clothes to a boy who had one pair of shorts.
[04:21.77]
[04:21.82]We gave him a bed.
[04:23.52]
[04:23.81]To hell with the NCAA,
[04:25.55]
[04:25.55]I’d do it again tomorrow.
[04:27.00]
[04:27.18]What about all the rest of it
[04:29.33]
[04:29.88]All the stuff we did to make sure that he got a scholarship?
[04:33.43]
[04:34.26]A scholarship at Ole Miss.
[04:36.44]
[04:36.84]He could go whenever he wanted, he knew that.
[04:39.15]
[04:39.20]Oh, did he? Did you ask him?
[04:41.72]
[04:42.43]’Cause I sure as I know I never did.
[04:44.83]
[04:49.15]Come here.
