right here in austin. we're getting word that theschool is still under lock down. now, the test shouldhave ended hours ago. parents are growing concerned as the school is said to beholding students indefinitely with no word as to whether ornot their children are safe. now, governor, what do say to theseconcerned voters? - well, while, i don'thave any immediate details

to their childrenat vista point high. - we don't know if our son passed the test orfailed or anything. this day is hardenough for all of us and we deserve answers. this community hasbeen through enough. - no parents ofstudents at vista point have been notified as of yet. we'll keep you updatedas this bizarre story.
- get king on theemergency line. (intense tones) - key card and i.d. (metallic crashing)(yelping) (deep breathing) (dramatic, pulsating music) - i'm about to have a thousandroyally pissed off parents talking to news vans in frontof a school with no power. i need you to explain to me
how this is evenremotely handled. - the cables arenearly patched through. we'll have power back shortly. - as soon as the power is on, the thinning continues,you understand? the eyes of thenation are on us. we have zero room for failure. - understood, sir. we'll find her.
- we'll find her. find who? blake! blake, breathe. blake, breathe! (coughing water) - so that happened. - go put these on. so, am i going tohave to ask you

- sure. - i have to warn you, i get a littlehandsy when i drink. - i can deal with handsy. - so i'll see you after school? - i'll see you then. - 'kay. (soft inquiring music) kellan.
- miss birch, right? let's continuewhere we left off. key card and i.d. very well. - i must have dropped it. - no, i don't think so. - excuse me, this is a mistake. - everybody out. - i had it two seconds ago.
- where is she? - who? (punching) i don't know whoyou're talking about. (thudding and panting) i'm broke. - this is the last timethat i'll ask nicely. where's laina? - oh my god, laina.
(laughs) (encouraging instrumental music) (intense, pulsating music) - all the informationwe have as of now is this morning,approximately 11:45am, laina michaels, a studentat vista point high, failed an exam. she then proceeded toattack several dpc officers, injuring two and tragicallykilling two others.
since then, thestudents have been moved to a safe place andare being protected under the watchfuleye of our teachers until miss michaelscan be apprehended. - corinne, do youneed a ride home? - [governor] i would liketo speak to you as a father. - i understand your pain. my son is in thatschool as well. and i will doeverything in my power
to bring him andeveryone else home safe. blake, if you're watching, i love you son. this is a tryingtime for all of us. i ask for your patienceand understanding as we move toresolve this matter and bring missmichaels to justice. - wendy, you need to see this. - this was taken frominside the high school.
- yeah, that'sdefinitely a dpc guard hitting a passing student. - this doesn't add up. who's the source on this? this footage was sent tous by a student source inside vista point high. - kellan? - hello. all units convergeto the server room.
we have her. (intense, percussion music) - [blake] attention. i was just told tomove these students to the recreationhall immediately. - [officer] i didn't hear that. the students are staying untilmason king says otherwise. - [blake] i was justtold to take everyone to the recreation hallwithout any hold ups.
so, let's get moving. undo the restraints. (relieved whimpering) - [officer] no, wedo don't do anything without direct confirmationfrom mason king. identify yourself now. - of course. i'm sorry, let me showyou the confirmation. - [voiceover] he's not a guard!
(thudding and grunting) - i have proof. i passed that test. - congratulations. take her to the thinning. - holy shit. - [voiceover]good, get him down. get his mask. (yelping)
- i don't care where youpull the graphics from, we're going live now. - [voiceover] wendy,this hasn't been approved by the network. - karl, it's calledbreaking news for a reason. we're going with this, now. three, two. (suspenseful percussion music) - no, no, not laina.
- less than an hour ago, governor reddingannounced a situation inside vista point high involving a dangerous failedstudent, laina michaels, said to be wreakinghavoc on campus leaving behind hera trail of terror. just moments ago, we receivedofficial documentation from inside the high school revealing falsified test scores,
possibly to favor ortarget specific students to evade or endure the thinning. among those wrongfullyaccused of failing the exam, laina michaels, receivedone of the highest scores in the school. blake redding, son ofgovernor dean redding passed the exam, despitehaving the lowest score at vista point high. (phone ringing)
