Holy hell man. I'm trying to be nice about this. Go back and watch it again.

AJ wants to live with his dad. So, he has to go to a new school. AJ doesn't know Jason. He sees him sitting alone at lunch, and looks like they might have something in common. So, he strikes up a conversation. Period.

AJ didn't know Jason before moving. He didn't know what he looked like or who he was. From the relationship between AJ and his Father, it's clear that they don't often talk. Let alone about that case of Luke's death. I don't really know how else to put that for you.


Nothing says in the movie that hes the one who wanted to move, his mom forced his dad into it and at school the kid says it was his dad's idea so therefor your logic could be just as wrong as mine

The conversation with his mother and father LITERALLY starts like this:

Mother to Father - "We have to talk about AJ. He wants to come live with you. He won't stop asking me about it."

Cooper even says after he gets him out of jail - "You wanted to come live with me, right? You think this is easy for me?"


Sorry remembering movies you just watched is hard for you man. I haven't watched it in over 5 months, and it's clear as day for me.

You dont hear it a single time from the kid
Actually the only thing you hear from him about moving is how close his former town his and him telling the counselor it was his dad's idea

Despite having a loving mother and a very supportive father figure Jason is isolated unable to form connections. Why?
One could argue it's simply because that's how Jason is. But what happens once Jason finds out about his dad? ... He moves.
He goes from having a false and destructive connection with AJ to seeking vengeance to forgiving and moving forward. The impetus for all of those actions is Jason connecting to his father. Reading what happened to Luke. Talking to Robin about Luke. Getting his dad's shades. It's learning about the connection between Avery and Luke that motivates Jason to get a gun, to bash AJ the way Luke bashed Kofi (unknown to Jason), to bring a kidnapped Avery to the same woods Ray Liotta once took Avery. When Jason lets a crying Avery live, Jason can't stay in Schenectady (where he's broken into a house, knocked a classmate out, then nearly murdered the soon-to-be Attorney General of the United States). He leaves. And he leaves how? On a fucking motorcycle. Jason is no longer isolated. The bike is a connection to his father. He rides off into the sunset.
