Okay.

 

Jackson came over to play.

 

Superheroes

 

I was Black Ranger.

 

-Jake? You okay?
-I'm okay.

 

Can I ask you a question?

 

Okay. Time to hit the sack.

 

It's an important question.

 

Here we go. Big guy.

 

Can I wear bugs?

 

The bug pajamas are all the way downstairs.

 

-The fire trucks are okay aren't they?
-Bugs.

 

Fire trucks.

 

Bugs.

 

Fire trucks!

 

Bugs!

 

Okay. Bugs. I'll be right back.

 

Does it hurt to be dead?

 

Animal.

 

What?

 

Can I tell?

 

You want to die?

 

Your beer-addled sperm still works.

 

You impregnated my sister again.

 

I thought you wanted me to.

 

What?

 

The kid could have been
born before he noticed.

 

You're not pregnant.

 

Congratulations is more appropriate...

 

-And you told her before me?/-She's a witch.
She took one look at me and guessed.

 

Say something?

 

Bummer.

 

Something else?

 

So. Six weeks...
the baby's due in April, May...

 

...June, that's cool. Einstein was a Gemini.

 

So's that Scottish gal.

 

Will you go help Jake with his pajamas?

 

But if she's late...

 

You start with that,
I'm going throw you out a fucking window.

 

Go upstairs and help him with the pajamas.

 

I love you. too.

 

Hey, this is great.

 

I think it's time we had another kid.
I was going to bring it up myself.

 

Really?

 

You gotta take time off.

 

We can't afford it.

 

-I'll do overtime.
-I don't want you to work those hours.
You come home and you're in a trance.

 

I'm going to do fine.

 

Teddy will get someone else.

 

Oh, Tom. I'm sorry.

 

I forgot. No wonder you're pissed off.

 

I'm not pissed off.

 

I'm not. I'm a grown man.

 

I shouldn't be screwing around
with some shitty band anyway.

 

I gotta go change. Put on something cool.

 

I love you.

 

I'm a happy guy.

 

I'm not going to be a lineman forever.
I promise you.

 

What do you mean?

 

I clip wire all day. A monkey could do it.

 

You'll move to the office.

 

By the end of the year...

 

No, I meant...l said a lot about where
I was going to go and be.

 

I wanted you to know I wasn't giving
you a line.That I meant it.

 

I didn't marry you......because I thought
you would be famous.

 

I liked the way your ass looked in jeans.

 

I never wanted to be famous.
I just didn't expect to be so...

 

What?

 

Ordinary.

 

Shh...

 

I hope it's a girl. I'm sick
of all these balls here.

 

Except for yours.

 

What are the odds of an educated
single man being at this thing?

 

What if he's on the boner pill?

 

I wouldn't look a gift boner in the mouth.

 

Hey, Tommy.

 

You would not believe the day I had.

 

Here take this. Come on.

 

Hey, Harry.

 

Taking care of the place for me?

 

We're drilling holes in the floors.

 

You know Sheila, Bobby, Vanessa.

 

Their pumpkin.
Take the medicine into your body.

 

Tom, you like the neighborhood?

 

I grew up in Bridgeport.
It's not a foreign country.

 

Damn right it isn't.
This is the best neighborhood...

 

...in the city of Chicago.
Because we look out for each other.

 

Are you running for mayor?

 

Anybody see them crank
dealers hanging around?

 

What's Lenny doing here?

 

Bobby. Did you tell him?

 

Vanessa made me.

 

I could see if he heard the
noise and wandered in...

 

...but to actually invite this jack off.

 

When you wake up dead with your
throat cut, don't come to me.

 

Not attracted to...

 

Not drunk enough for...

 

Frightened by...

 

Haven't you heard of people being operated
on while under hypnosis?

 

But I don't believe it.

 

People who say they were hypnotized
were just playing along.

 

Then how could they have a scalpel stuck in
their throat......without bleeding without even
making a sound?

 

-Bullshit.
-You never saw that.

 

Bullshit.

 

Learn another word.

 

Yes. Narrow-minded.
I saw a guy in my class...

 

...get a two-inch needle stuck into his arm
while he was under hypnosis.

 

You're making it up.

 

I saw the picture. It left a mark.

 

I don't see how a person who's
spent most of her adult life...

 

...in college can believe in that superstition.

 

It's not. I'm practically a
licensed hypnotherapist.

 

Practically licensed?

 

lsn't that like saying
I don't have a license? Ow.

 

Because you kicked around the
same six blocks all your life...

 

...doesn't mean there isn't a larger world.

 

Doorways you haven't even opened.Things
you don't have the faintest understanding of.

 

Okay, Kreskin. Prove it. Hypnotize somebody.

 

Yeah. Do me.

 

No.

 

Why not?

 

For one, you're hostile.

 

Do I seem hostile?

 

Thanks for having us. Great party.

 

Come on, Lisa. Hypnotize me.

 

Come on.

 

You're drunk.

 

I'm not drunk.

 

You shouldn't mesmerize
anyone who's drinking.

 

Mesmerize? Stop. Please, come on.

 

I'm begging you. Educate the savages.

 

It won't work with that uncooperative attitude.

 

I will follow every instruction to the letter.

 

What can happen?

 

Turn out the lights.

 

Just relax. Put your arm down,
rest it comfortably.

 

Lean back.

 

Be very comfortable. Relax.

 

Trust me, okay?

 

Close your eyes.

 

Certainly, Lisa.

 

Now, just listen for a moment.

 

Listen to the sounds of the room around you.

 

I want you to pretend you're in a theater.

 

A movie theater,

 

You're the only one there.

 

It's a great old movie palace.

 

You look around.

 

It's a huge empty theater.

 

The walls of the theater are...painted in black.

 

The seats...are covered in black.

 

And in the whole pitch-black theater...

 

...there's only one thing you can see.
The white screen.

 

You notice there are letters on the screen.

 

Tall, thick, black letters. They're out of focus.

 

You drift closer to them in your chair,
trying to read them.

 

You're very comfortable.
It's your favorite chair.

 

And you're drifting closer and closer.
Staring at the letters.

 

Very relaxed, your legs are relaxed.
Your arms are limp and heavy.

 

You're almost close enough
to read the letters.

 

They start to come into focus.
The letters spell...sleep.

 

Sleep.

 

What the hell was that?

 

What?

 

Are you okay?

 

You had to be faking it.

 

That was the weirdest thing I've ever seen.

 

You're one of the lucky 8percent.

 

You still have tears on your cheeks.

 

What the hell did she fo to me?

 

What 8 percent?

 

Only 8 percent of the population...that's highly
hypnotization. Anybody can go under a little...

 

...but not way under,
not freaky-under like he did.

 

How's your hand?

 

What?

 

I stuck a safety pin in your
hand and asked you...

 

...to bleed on one side, but not the other.

 

Which you did.

 

You were very cooperative.

 

That happened?

 

You said it didn't hurt.

 

I want to know more about Joey Luca.

 

Who?

 

The kid who pounded the shit
out of you when you were 1 2.

 

You were crying and moaning.

 

It was hysterical. It was very moving.

 

Joey Luca? I haven't thought about him...

 

Can we go home? I feel strange.

 

Yeah, sure.

 

Close your eyes.

 

What's the matter?

 

Stop

 

Oh, Jesus Christ.

 

Oh my God!

 

What?

 

I'm seeing things.

 

What do you mean?

 

No. no. wait. I can't right now.

 

Then you were faking it very well.

 

Wait. Stop. Stop. It's too weird.

 

Baby. That wasn't weird.
I could show you weird.

 

I felt like I was being attacked.

 

Thanks.

 

No. I'm sorry.

 

I'll be right back.

 

Hey Jake.

 

You're awake.

 

You okay?

 

I guess.

 

I don't feel good.

 

Don't be afraid of it.

 

What was it? A hallucination?

 

A lot of them. It's hard to explain.
These thoughts kept coming.

 

You believe this, seven calls.

 

It was the hypnosis. Your brain was agitated.

 

I had this headache. I was thirsty as hell.

 

Jake. You're not watching that monster tape.

 

Who was the woman?

 

Maybe somebody I met once.
She didn't look familiar.

 

Did you fuck her?

 

You gotta be kidding.

 

Was she someone you used to date?

 

You're jealous of my hallucination?
You are pregnant.

 

-Call Lisa
-She already fucked up my brain.

 

Then she has to unfuck it.

 

Fuck.

 

Don't swear so much.

 

Let me get my bearings.
I have no caffeine in my system?

 

You're asking me if I gave you a...

 

Posthypnotic suggestion.
Did you leave anything inside my brain?

 

Nothing.

 

Don't lie...

 

This is insulting. I have done this before.

 

Okay. Good. I was just making sure.

 

It was harmless.

 

What?

 

Did it actually work?

 

What did you say?

 

I don't want to tell. You're grouchy.

 

Lisa.

 

I've always said you need to be
more openminded, right?

 

Yeah?

 

I just said after you wake up,
your mind will be completely open.

 

Like an open door,
open to receive everything around you.

 

What's that do?

 

I don't know, why? Did something happen?

 

Jesus Christ.

 

Relax. I opened a door.
Therapists do it all the time.

 

It releases repressed memories,
latent abilities. Whatever.

 

It was probably reruns for you.

 

I gotta get back to work.

 

Okay. Alrighty then.

 

No more calls.

 

Hey Lis. It's me.

 

Could you babysit for......us on Friday night?

 

I did. I told him.

 

What's her name? Okay.

 

I'd ask grandma. But I'd have to hear it for
months. No one's....free.

 

Call Vanessa.

 

Huh?

 

Call Vanessa and ask her about Debbie.

 

Call me back. Bye. Debbie?
That's who babysits for them?

 

Yep.

 

Great idea. Pray she's free.
How'd you know about Debbie?

 

Samantha told me.

 

Hey Vanessa. Are you going out Friday night?

 

Hi. I'm Debbie.

 

Kozak.

 

Tom Witzky.

 

-Hi Debbie.
-Hi.

 

I'm Maggie. Thanks for coming.
Jake's asleep. Never wakes up.

 

You shouldn't have any trouble with him.

 

His room's upstairs. Kitchen. Help yourself...

 

...if you want. Have a seat.

 

Baby monitor.

 

It's on B in his room.

 

-You'll hear everything. A movie?
-Got a book.

 

-Won't be later than midnight. If that's okay.
-Perfect.

 

Just grap...
...my coat and we're outta here. Hello?

 

Ready?

 

-Just about.
-Okay.

 

Where'd you find that girl?

 

Vanessa gave me her number.
Everybody uses her, It's cool.

 

Another headache?

 

Too much caffeine.

 

Oh. Okay. Let's go.

 

Bye.

 

Damon is doing a great job.

 

The kid's got an arm, but high school football
is about...power, Running...the ball.

 

Was for me.

 

What'd you play?

 

Piano mostly.

 

Oh Jesus. Sorry. Here, you want some?

 

I admit I am biased, but...
my kid's season is great...

 

...and nobody cares. If he got the ball,
he'd break a thousand yards.

 

And that's short season. Jesus

 

Why don't you just lick
them when they walk by?

 

Frank says a guy carries a hardon 2 and
a half hours a day.

 

Three and a half for him

 

Now I have to picture that.

 

One day she's gonna find one of my 38s
and pop a cap in my ass.

 

He'll stick it in a bowl of soup if it's still warm.

 

Are you okay?

 

Yeah, I'm fine.

 

He does 1 000 yards.
We're talking major scholarships.

 

Kid could write his own ticket.

 

It's good for everyone,
the whole neighborhood.

 

He's gonna go a lot farther than I ever did.

 

Look at the tail he's getting.

 

He passed me when he was 14.

 

Come on! While we're young. Huh?

 

You scared me.

 

She's downstairs, I think.

 

I don't know. I haven't seen her yet.

 

Jake?

 

What's the matter?

 

-Something's wrong.
-What?

 

Samantha says it's always dark where she is.

 

Who did you say?

 

Samantha.

 

You talked to Samantha?

 

Yeah.

 

When?

 

All the time.

 

Where?

 

Here in my house.

 

That's not true.

 

That isn't true.

 

I don't tell lies.

 

-Samantha was here?
-You're hurting me.

 

-Was she here?
-Let go of me!

 

You're coming with me.

 

She's taking him away.

 

Put me down! Put me down!

 

Jake, Jake!

 

What the hell?

 

-She took him.
-What?

 

The babysitter took him somewhere.
He's not in there.

 

-Where are you going?
-I don't know!

 

He's in there.

 

-Jake.
-Daddy!

 

-That's him
-Where are you going?

 

Stop, stop, stop.

 

Where is she?

 

You tell me where she is!

 

Where is she?

 

Quiet!

 

You okay?

 

That girl...kidnapped our son.

 

Is that your child?

 

-Samantha
-This boy.
Does he belong to you?

 

I can explain.

 

I'm talking to her.

 

Is he yours?

 

No.

 

She was babysitting for us.

 

You can go to jail for this.

 

Where were you going?

 

Nowhere!

 

Why'd you bring him here?

 

Press charges.

 

I work here. I'm her mother.

 

When are you......gonna
ask them about Samantha?

 

-Who?
-My daughter. She ran away

 

She was kidnapped.
The boy said he saw her.

 

We filed a police report.
There's an investigation.

 

Jake talk to her all the time. In his house!

 

Is that her?

 

Let go!

 

Look at the picture.

 

This is ridiculous!

 

Look at the picture.

 

I've never seen her before.

 

What about you?

 

I've never seen her.

 

They're lying!

 

Charges?

 

-Yes.
-No.

 

What?

 

Come on. Let's just forget about it.

 

Let's go home.

 

-What about the next people she babysits for?
-lt was her?

 

Who?

 

That girl in the picture is the one
I saw on our couch.

 

Why did you ask Debbie to babysit for us?

 

I couldn't find anybody.
I was on the phone and Jake said.

 

Do you remember when
we were talking in the kitchen?

 

I was looking for a babysitter. Remember?

 

You said Samantha told you about Debbie.
Remember?

 

Mommy's asking you a question.

 

Is Samantha someone who talks to you?

 

Can you remember

 

Don't ask the boy any more questions.

 

Talk to me.

 

-What did you say?
-Huh?

 

What did you say?

 

Nothing.

 

Let me hear that voice again.

 

Say it again. Use that voice again.

 

Come on Jake. Use that voice again.

 

-I know you can do it. I wanna hear.
-Don't do that.

 

Okay.

 

Let's see if Beetleborg's on.

 

Hey! I'm talking to him.

 

What's the matter?

 

What do you think?

 

I'm trying to talk with my kid.

 

Perfectly normal talk for a five year old.

 

-Don't be afraid of it.
-Why shouldn't l?

 

That's what he told me.
This is where I saw her. Sitting here.

 

-I grabbed the remote, leaned back and there
she was./-You should see yourself right now.

 

Maggie please!

 

-Maybe you don't see her? You just hear her.
-You're scaring him.

 

I need to make her come back.
If I stay here long enough, she'll...

 

...come back. You could talk to her.

 

Help me. What's wrong?

 

Knock it off!

 

I don't want to talk about this.
It scares Mommy.

 

-Turn it up,
-What?

 

Turn it up.

 

Tom is looking especially together today.

 

He grunted a very pleasant greeting at me.

 

Becoming monosyllabic.
Nothing wrong with him.

 

Nothing a little lithium couldn't cure.

 

I'm a jerk. I'm sorry.

 

Are you okay?

 

On the base room and board are
covered and you got pay.

 

Still gotta get up early.

 

I've got enough for a
couple of down payments.

 

I'm a landlord already.
Five years later I got three houses.

 

Harry.

 

How you doing?

 

What do you know about Samantha Kozak?

 

Samantha Kozak? That's familiar.

 

Brownish hair. Seventeen.
Used to live around here.

 

Yeah. I remember.

 

-Can we go?
-Kurt!

 

Come here. Like he ever......tells me anything.

 

Get over here!

 

Do you know that Kozak girl?

 

Debbie.

 

No, Samantha.

 

You mean the retard? She ran away.

 

That's right. I remember. What about her?

 

I've been thinking about her.

 

Why?

 

Her sister babysat for us.

 

Oh.

 

First time he's been out in a week.
Hasn't gone to work.

 

He's used up all his sick days.

 

If he doesn't show up they'll dock him.

 

I can't get him off the couch.

 

-Why?
-That's where she appeared.

 

I'm not shocked that there's another woman.
Of course she's dead.

 

We're talking about a ghost. Aren't we?

 

She left last March with a black guy.

 

Did she live in our house?

 

No. You're the first tenants.

 

Tom and Jake have this
private club or something.

 

They sit and whisper and when
I walk in the room. They shut up.

 

Know what you need to do?

 

Find a young. Cute priest who
can guide you through this.

 

I'm kidding. but I'm not.

 

The truth is you guys are the best couple.
on earth. This on you now. Maggie.

 

Get some help. Find out why this is happening.
There's a reason.

 

You won't be the first who's had to
hold a crazy family together.

 

Tom's not crazy.

 

Yes he is. At least he's getting interesting.

 

Sports flash.

 

21 1 yards rushing...

 

...last night. Total of......894 yards with two...

 

...games left. He needs 1 06 yards.
That's 53 a game.

 

He could walk and still beat 1 000.

 

Do you know her?

 

Who?

 

Tom was asking about that Kozak girl.

 

The one who ran away.

 

The retard.

 

Don't use that word.

 

She was slow.

 

What? Retard?

 

Shut your fucking......
mouth before I shut if for you.

 

Somebody's always gotta ruin it.
It can't ever be just nice.

 

Went To Park With Jake. M.

 

What are you doing here?

 

They're gonna kill you. Tommy.

 

You and Maggie both.

 

Why would you say that?

 

This is a decent neighborhood.

 

Hey, are you okay?

 

Where's Sheila? She at home?

 

I'm gonna see if Sheila's home. Okay?

 

Get in the house! Right now!

 

Come in!

 

-Hi
-Hi,

 

Your mom home? Your dad's acting...

 

Wanna see what I've got?

 

Sure.

 

Is that your dad's?

 

Not today. Come here.

 

Put the gun away. Adam.

 

Come here.

 

Those things make me nervous.

 

I'll make you nervous.

 

Whoa, don't!

 

Don't!

 

Please don't be under there.

 

Oh boy.

 

Frank.

 

Get in the house right now!

 

Adam. Open the door!

 

Oh God.

 

Help!

 

Am I awake? Or asleep? Help!

 

My baby!

 

Oh my God?

 

Is he alive?

 

Oh my God!

 

Adam!

 

I'm gonna take him for a walk.

 

-Come on sweetheart.
-Where we going?

 

Hello.

 

Hello.

 

Listen! Music! It's beautiful!

 

Jake! Wait.

 

We're not supposed to be here.

 

This is cool!

 

Let's go get lunch.

 

Mom, what's this?

 

Let me take a look.

 

It looks like a stone.

 

Or a medal.

 

Yeah. Look. A flag.

 

Everything okay?

 

Just fine.

 

Should we leave?

 

No. it's fine. Really.

 

Okay. See you later.

 

He's got the eyes.

 

Xray.

 

Not you. Though.

 

The dad? They're not alone.

 

Tell him to come and see me later.

 

Might learn a few things.

 

Bye Jake.

 

Bye Neil.

 

His name is Neil.

 

Try that, Daddy.

 

Why do I know that?

 

Be back after the film.

 

I said I won't be late.

 

Okay, Bye Mom, Bye Maggie.

 

Oh hello.

 

I think I'm lost. I'm looking for this guy. Neil.

 

Excuse me?

 

I'm sorry. l

 

Shit.

 

Shit. Shit. Shit.

 

I want to see Neil.

 

Wait here.

 

I don't know her.

 

What are you doing?
I said tell the boy's father to come.

 

He won't.

 

He'd kill me. He's so paranoid.

 

Close the fucking door.

 

Them too.

 

-Can't let you in.
-Who are they?

 

This ain't no freak show.
Close the damn door!

 

You have to leave.

 

My husband......is losing his mind.
I don't know why. But you do.

 

You can tell me what you know.
Because I'm not moving.

 

How long has he had it?

 

Few days.

 

-A car wreck?
-No.

 

-Child die?
-No.

 

-He kill someone?
-Hypnotized.

 

Is that what started it?

 

It comes......and goes. Some have it for five
seconds. Some forever.

 

He's a receiver.
Everything's coming in. He can't...

 

...stop it. He can't figure it out. He's in a...

 

...tunnel with a flashlight and a low battery.

 

He gets a glimpse of something.
But not enough to know what it is.

 

Jake too.

 

Your son?

 

Much better flashlight.

 

Does he know what it wants?

 

What who wants?

 

He saw a ghost?

 

What did it ask him to do?

 

She didn't ask anything.

 

Maybe he wasn't listening.

 

She's waiting. Getting pissed off
that he's not doing it.

 

If he doesn't do her thing.
She'll never go away.

 

Hey.

 

Absolutely not.

 

Please? Five more minutes.

 

No. Zero minutes.

 

This is cool. You have nightmares.

 

No fair.

 

I'm gonna take a bath. You okay?

 

Whatever.

 

How do I know this song?

 

Freezing.

 

I don't wanna talk right now.

 

Hey.

 

I think the pilot blew out again.
Can you go light it for me?

 

Hello.

 

Or I can go light it.

 

Thanks everyone.

 

I said no.

 

Bummer.

 

No!

 

Tom?

 

Tom. Please.

 

What happened?

 

You scared them.

 

What?

 

I want you to hypnotize me again. This shit,
I want it gone.l want it all to stop, now.

 

Come right in Tom I want you to meet Clarita.

 

Hi sorry.

 

Sorry, do you think that you could, could she

 

Yeah.

 

I know.

 

You got to slow down.

 

Be a little patient with me.

 

I got a confession to make.

 

We just smoked this big fatty a few
minutes before you walked in.

 

This is just blowing my mind.

 

Listen to me.

 

Whatever door you opened in my brain.

 

I want you to shut it, now.

 

Okay. I'll do it. Okay. I can do that.

 

Close your eyes.

 

Okay, just like last time I want you
to focus and concentrate.

 

Listen to the room.

 

Listen to your breathing.

 

Look at the back......of your eyelids.

 

Get to it.

 

Alright.

 

Pretend you're back in the theater.

 

It's dark.

 

There's only one thing you see.
That's the white screen.

 

Focus on the screen.
You'll drift closer to it in your chair.

 

There are letter. Tall. Thick...

 

...black letters. They're out of focus.
You begin to drift closer.

 

Someone's here.

 

No it's empty.

 

But, there's someone else in here.

 

You're alone.

 

No. no. no I'm not.

 

Your feet and your ankles are relaxed.

 

No.

 

Your hands are limp and heavy. Your arms.

 

No air. No air.

 

Tom look at the screen.

 

You can read the letters.

 

You're up next to it.

 

Tom. Look at the screen.

 

What happened? Are you Okay.
I think you need to sit down, Tom.
You should of seen your face.

 

Do you want a beer. Are you feeling better.
What happened.

 

I'm supposed to dig.

 

Hi.

 

Hello.

 

Anybody home.

 

Wow, look what I'm not cleaning up.

 

lnteresting.

 

Hi, honey. What you doing?

 

Dad. Said I'm supposed to dig.

 

Nice.

 

Tom. Tom!

 

You scared me.

 

I scared you?

 

What are you doing?

 

I'm supposed to dig.

 

What do you mean?

 

I'm supposed to dig.

 

Who says?

 

I see. And what's jake doing?

 

Jake is helping.

 

Why are you doing this?

 

Water softens up the dirt.

 

Could you just stop for a second.
Tom can you turn around and...

 

...look at me.

 

What exactly don't you understand?
I'm supposed to dig.

 

Why are you digging?

 

I'm searching.

 

What're you searching for?

 

The question is not what. We both know what.

 

The question, which you can plainly see.
I am busy trying...

 

...to answer. The question...

 

...is where.

 

Don't worry it's Okay.

 

It's not over there.

 

Call the police.

 

And, tell them what exactly.

 

Practice it. Run it by me.

 

I want to see how it sounds.

 

Anything else?

 

Why don't you come inside. I want to talk.
You're not yourself.

 

This is fucking typical.

 

What do you want me to do?

 

You want me to sit down in front of the TV.
Drink 8 or 9 beers?

 

Then fall asleep.
Repeat the whole thing again, tomorrow?

 

Be quiet!

 

And the day after, and the day after, and the
after...until I grab my chest and die?

 

This is the most important thing that's...

 

...ever happened to me. I mean, this is the
most important thing...

 

...l have ever done in my whole...

 

...stupid life. And you want me to just stop?

 

No!

 

No. I won't stop, I won't stop, I won't stop.

 

Eight years I've known you. Not once have
you talked to me like this.

 

Not once. And if you do it again.
I swear to God...

 

And you know?

 

When you talk about how ordinary
you are and your stupid...

 

...life. You're saying our......stupid life.

 

Which I don't feel is stupid.

 

So how am I supposed to feel about that?

 

Want that?

 

I'm sorry.

 

Okay. I'm not sorry.

 

Who's that from?

 

My brother. My Grandmother's in the hospital.

 

No. she.

 

What?

 

What?

 

Nothing.

 

What is it?

 

Hello?

 

Oh. Steve. I'm sorry. We've been so busy. l

 

She did?

 

How am I doing, dad?

 

You're doing great. kid.

 

I'm so sorry.

 

You knew?

 

You knew, didn't you?

 

When is the funeral?

 

Sunday. We should leave as soon as we can.

 

You want me to go with you?

 

I thought with your family.

 

Do I want you to go with me?

 

To my Grandmother's funeral?
Why wouldn't you?

 

I'm in the middle of something here.

 

Eight hundred dollars...

 

Tools.

 

It's a rented house.

 

Hello.

 

It's me.

 

-How're you doing.
-I'm okay.

 

How's your family?

 

Drunk. Fighting with each other.

 

I'm sorry. I should be there with you.
I'm an asshole.

 

You have your good points.
How do you feel?

 

Oh, fine.

 

Much better. Everything's fine here.

 

No more digging.

 

No. back to normal.

 

I'm sorry, too. I shouldn't have left you alone.

 

Why don't you come here with us.
You could make it in an hour.

 

Oh, no, I can't do that.

 

Why not?

 

The truck isn't for personal trips.

 

I'll pick you up. I'll leave now.

 

Oh, no. that's crazy.

 

I got to go. I'll pull up and honk. Bye.

 

You ready to go?

 

I'm scared to go home. I want to stay here.

 

Why are you scared?

 

Because of the feathers.

 

What feathers?

 

I don't know. I saw feathers.

 

It's okay. I'll watch him.

 

Okay. You be good.

 

Mom, wait!

 

You forgot this.

 

Hi.

 

Hi.

 

Come here a sec.

 

What?

 

Come closer. I can't hear you.

 

Are you talking to me?

 

I want to show you something.

 

You want to show me something?

 

I don't see anybody else around.

 

What is it?

 

It's a surprise.

 

It's great. Come on, you won't believe it.

 

Come on.

 

Happy St.Patrick's Day.

 

What's the surprise?

 

Don't you have it.

 

Yeah. The surprise.

 

Surprise.

 

Think you need another drink.

 

No, I got the spins.

 

Drink.

 

There isn't a surprise.

 

The surprise is, we want to be your friends.

 

-You do?
-Yeah.

 

Why do you want to be my friends now?

 

Look at yourself.

 

Look. You can take your coat off,
You know.

 

Want a drink?

 

I'm not supposed to.

 

Don't you do anything you shouldn't?

 

I do.

 

Momma, you are hot.

 

Come on, let's be friends, huh?

 

You can kiss me, if you want

 

Yeah.

 

Not like that.

 

Okay.

 

I want to go home.

 

No, no, no, no.
I'll be your friend. I swear I will.

 

No.

 

Be good to me. You are good girl.

 

I have to go home.

 

Come on, baby.

 

I have to go home!

 

No! No! No!

 

Shut up! Shut up!

 

Stop screaming!

 

Put it over her face!

 

Shut up!

 

Oh. My God.

 

What did you do that for?

 

Is she dead?

 

No shit. She's dead.

 

Oh, my God!

 

Look aat her tongue.

 

I'm not here.

 

I never seen nobody dead before.

 

This isn't happening.

 

Plactic over her face.

 

What do we do now?

 

How's he doing?

 

He might make it. He might not.

 

Sheila's over at the hospital.

 

Frank. I'm sorry.

 

I'm sorry, because I think I know
why Adam shot himself.

 

I got to call the police......about it.

 

And I don't want you to hear it from them.

 

And I don't want Sheila to
read about it in the paper.

 

And I think you have a right to
know before anybody else.

 

What are you talking about.

 

Come with me.

 

Wait here for a second.

 

Better be important.

 

How the hell did you find this?

 

Does it matter?

 

Can't know it was Kurt & Adam.

 

Yes, I do.

 

But you don't have anything--

 

You're talking like a lunatic.
That's what people are going to say.

 

It's just a body. It doesn't prove anything.

 

She's got somebody's hair in her hand.

 

They'll be able to tell whose it is.

 

We must call the cops.

 

What could we do?

 

It was an accident.

 

The kids come to us. She's already dead.

 

The damage is done. There's nothing
anybody can do to bring her back.

 

But these kids got everything.
...ahead of them.

 

So what were we supposed to do, Tom.
Send our sons to jail for the rest
of their lives for her.

 

Who you planning to shoot with that?

 

Frank. Come on upstairs.
We can talk about this.

 

I've been living with this for six months.

 

Six fucking months.

 

Do you think anything you say...
...could make one bit of difference to me?

 

Get out of here!

 

No!

 

Get out!

 

Get out!

 

Hi.

 

Hi.

 

It's really pouring.

 

It looks like it.

 

Got a minute?

 

I'm busy right now.

 

It's important.

 

I can't talk right now.

 

Jesus!

 

This rain, huh?

 

Like I said......I'm busy.

 

Kurt, close that door.

 

I'll call you later.

 

Tom, we've got a problem.

 

What do you mean?

 

What are you doing to my house?

 

I heard pounding. Came to check it out.
I didn't think you'd wreck the place.

 

What's the matter with you?

 

Oh don't worry. I'm gonna take care of that.

 

I was trying to fix your water main, you know?
It was leaking and I couldn't get to it from
under the house.

 

I mean. I couldn't get under
the house to get to it.

 

Is that right?

 

Damn. A lot of damage?

 

Some.

 

Can I look around?

 

Sure. Help yourself.

 

You better show me...

 

...where it's at.
You guy's will be able to see it.

 

Gotta go.

 

Almost afraid to look. Drink.

 

Hurry up.

 

Water main doesn't run under the house.

 

I know that now.

 

Shit Tom.

 

Get him on the rug.

 

Don't look at him. Roll him over. Let's go!

 

All right.

 

Tom?

 

Are you here?

 

They were gonna kill you Tommy.
You and Maggie both.

 

-Are you okay?
-Yeah.

 

-You okay?
-Yeah.

 

Cold-blooded murder.

 

I can't let something like that happen.
Not here.

 

This is a decent neighborhood.

This rain, huh?

 

Like I said......I'm busy.
