Christina Moore: Susan Henderson

Quotes 

• Susan Henderson : They call it a hard landing.

  Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : What's a hard landing?

  Susan Henderson : It's what they do when they want to drive someone out. It's like hazing, only... a lot worse.

  Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : Is that what they did to you?

  [Susan nods] 

  Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : Was it sexual? Were you... assaulted?

  Susan Henderson : No, they don't care about sex. They just want to see us cry. Run off with our tails between our legs. And they did.

  Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : Susan...

  [gets up] 

  Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : You know that none of this is your fault. They're the ones that are wrong. Who decides who gets this hard landing? The other cadets?

  Susan Henderson : No, it's also with a senior officer. He chooses the target, someone who doesn't fit in, and then gives the orders to a cadet.

  Det. Sgt. Tom Ryan : So the cadet gives the hard landing?

  Susan Henderson : No, they... they work the target together.

  Det. Sgt. Cassandra 'Cassy' St. John : An officer and a cadet? Why both?

  Susan Henderson : To make a statement. They want you to know that no one, not the administration or the other students, wants you there. That you're all alone.
