The story so far
Everything you need before watchingRobby returns to his old school to ask whether anyone in charge knew about Father Talbot. The PR man trims the numbers and calls the questions a stretch. The president blurts that he would have known. Then PR asks Robby to keep it quiet until they all get on the same page. Robby answers with a victim who still cannot figure out why he was chosen. Polite language does the covering.
