American Vandal

- That's your theory? - Yeah.

No, that's not... I mean, that... That's crazy.

- Just admit it to me, you wouldn't... - I'm not...

You won't have to go to court next month. It'll be over.

Come on, just tell me that I'm right.

- Tell me that I'm right. - You're... No. You're not right.

Dylan, you asked me if I'm doing everything I can

to get you off, but are you?

Fuck you, Peter.

- Dylan, come on. - Fuck you.

A lot of stuff here.

My God. I feel like I need my inhaler.

We have to find anything that could be related to this photo.

Anything that has to do with Mr. Rafferty.

The picture I received of Coach Rafferty's trashed office

was a strong indication that someone had a serious vendetta against Rafferty.

So, our next step

was digging through Hanover High's teacher conduct files

to find out exactly what that vendetta was.

After our meeting, Vice Principal Keene assured me

that the school was updating the digital records

of their teacher conduct files to be compliant with state regulations.

In the meantime, we were allowed to access the hard copies.

- There has to be something on Rafferty. - Nurse Ravelli. Harassment complaint.

Says she requested a student to wear deodorant repeatedly.

- Who was the complaint made by? - It doesn't say.

I think because they're all students you can't use the names,

but I can almost guarantee you it was Dave Larsen.

The files were full of information.

Most of it was unusable. But some of it's interesting.

Let's see. Maeda.

Uh, Maeda.

"Personal property violation. Confiscated student's vape pen."

Oh, Rafferty file.

"Inappropriate conduct with a student."

We don't know who filed the complaint. Details are sparse.

Just a vague description:

"Inappropriate conduct with a student."

So, someone files a complaint against Rafferty

for inappropriate conduct with a student.

On March 10th, someone trashes Rafferty's office,

and writes on his whiteboard, "Stick your dick somewhere else."

Then, five days later, someone draws a dick on Rafferty's car,

and there's splatter on the balls,

clear evidence that he could've been targeted first.

Splatter, trashed office, and teacher complaint.

I feel like these are definitely connected.

The question is how.

Or by who.

I can see someone from a rival school

not liking Coach Rafferty, but everyone here loves him.

I don't see how anybody would have a grudge with him. No.

I mean... No, he's about as cool as it gets.

I'm not part of the football crowd, so, uh, I don't really have an opinion.

Besides me thinking he's kind of a douche.

Do you know anything about his office being trashed?

No.

But does this mean he boned a student?

I mean, 'cause I would.

Him, I mean. I would bone... Yeah. Um...

- Uh, thanks for doing this. - Are we done now?

- Yeah. - Okay.

- Thanks. Yeah. - So professional.

- We try. - What can I do for you boys?

Hear you've been asking about me. My ears have been burning.

- Hi, coach. - Abby.

Sounds like you're hearing all kinds of crazy rumors.

- Bye, guys. - Bye. Uh...

Yeah, we've been... Yeah, we've been hearing a few, but we...

Don't worry, we're not giving in to them. We like, uh...

- We like facts, not rumors here. - Mm-hm.

Okay. What do you wanna know?

Why does no one know that your office was trashed?

I cleaned it up... and didn't wanna make a big deal about it.

So, it has nothing to do with, uh, this?

Or even this?

All right, look.

I can't speak to the vandalism. I know as much about that as anyone else.

These other two things, sure, there's a connection,

but... guys, this complaint is being taken way out of context.

There was no inappropriate conduct with a student.

I did have a relationship with a student's mom.

That's over now.

So, that's why your office was trashed?

Yeah.

Well, who did it?

Guys.

Guys, come on.

That would be totally inappropriate for me to say.

But, Sam, you should ask her out.

- Who? - Gabi. Ask her out.

- We're not really on speaking terms. - Be assertive. Girls like that.

All right. I'll see you boys later. Peter, don't get yourself in trouble with this.

- Thanks for stopping by. - No problem.

Mr. Rafferty was dating a student's mom.

That student trashed his office.

So, if we can identify which mom he was dating,

we'll uncover our student vendetta.

But pinning down the exact relationship in question

is actually harder than we thought, with a serial dater like Kyle Rafferty.

He's been rumored to have been with PTA president Beth Schachter,

the lady who prints spirit week T-shirts, Amy Agbulos,

the local news reporter, Carolyn Tran,

and Tongue Ring Tanya from the mall Applebee's.

- He's all over the place. - Coach respects moms.

No one respects moms like Coach.

I mean, Coach respects moms at the homecoming.

You know, Coach respects moms at fundraisers.

And, I mean, these moms are, like, legit hot moms,

not, like... old moms, with, like, weird wrinkled necks,

but, like... moms with, like, regular necks, you know?

So, it's common knowledge.

Coach Rafferty and moms, definitely a thing.

But how to find the right mom?

As you know, I've tasked myself

with finding the hottest moms here at Hanover High,

and I've got something you might like.

Bear with me. If a list of Hanover hot moms

seems dumb to you, you're not wrong.

But Sam does these mini-side investigations

from time to time.

They usually end up on the cutting room floor.

"Hanover's circumcised wieners."

The most important one, though, is Dylan Maxwell.

Is he circumcised? I don't know.

Do I wanna find out? Yes.

But I'm including this one

because it actually leads to something useful.

Starting with number eight, Mrs. Riley,

moving our way to number seven, Ms. Wyland, Mrs. Wagner,

- Mrs. Johnson, going to Mrs. Finn, - Yeah, that one.

- Mrs. Kapoor, Ms. Romito, - Yeah.

And finally, number one, who's hot not only because she's hot

but also because she's a strong, independent, hardworking woman...

and also your mother... Mrs. Maldonado.

- Can I see that for a second? - No.

- Just let me see it. - I feel like you're gonna hit me.

- What you get for putting my mom on there. - Stop.

This list means nothing without any context,

but it'll be important later.

Now, we're lucky that the complaint file included Mr. Rafferty's middle name,

because when we went to Facebook, a search for "Kyle Rafferty"

didn't reveal anything,

but a search for Kyle Joseph did.

So, I went through all of his Facebook friends

to see if any of the hot moms would show up,

and one actually did.

Number six.

You can see there's two halves of the same image posted in early March.

- So... - Yeah.

- And that's Mackenzie Wagner's mother. - Yeah.

And look, hand around her and everything.

They were totally dating.

Can you believe this shit?

But why wouldn't Mackenzie tell us this?

Who knows?

If Rafferty was dating Mrs. Wagner,

I can see how Mackenzie would trash his office in response.

But 27 dicks?

A hundred thousand dollars in damages?

Doesn't that seem extreme?

Well, when it comes to Mackenzie Wagner, and anything to do with her parents,

extreme response is kind of her thing.

Mackenzie, Mackenzie Wagner. I mean, you know her.

She's a mess. But the thing about her is she used to be really fucking smart.

I used to cheat off her all the time.

- Really? - Yeah.

I mean, then she...

She went downhill. I mean, her parents got divorced or some shit,

and she just gave up on school.

I mean, this chick went from straight-A honor roll

to not even filling out the tests.

It was bullshit. I had to cheat off Dan Chang,

and he looks smart, but he fucking isn't.

Mackenzie's parents divorced when she was in eighth grade.

Then she completely retreated from school and her friends.

So, where did she go?

She started spending a lot of time gaming on the live-stream site Twitch,

a place where she excelled.

She gained a following.

People would watch her consistently beat guys twice her age.

She loved it.

So, when the real world got too real for Mackenzie,

she found a new one on Twitch.

- Mackenzie Wagner? - Oh, yeah, she sucks.

Yeah, all the Wayback Boys say that, but could...?

No, no, no. They hate her because of Dylan.

I know Mackenzie... and she's a fucking psycho.

Could you tell me why?

'Cause she sucks, man.

But sucks specifically how?

Okay, in ninth grade, we were in JV basketball,

and her parents were in the middle of a divorce.

So, she started fouling out. Like, taking down everybody.

In this one game, she fucking elbowed a girl

right in the face.

Started fucking blood everywhere, you know?

Yeah, she's a fucking psycho.

Is Ganj right?

Does drama with her parents make Mackenzie go psycho?
