(CREAKING) (DOG BARKS) (GUNSHOT) (TWO GUNSHOTS) Hey, Kyle, why don't you leave that? Come back for it later. Hey, what's up? Hey. You need some help with that? Oh, I got it, man. Thanks. You must be Brandon. I'm Shane. Pleasure to meet you, man. You too. Just gotta grab a few more things. Let me help you. Don't you gotta bring your own stuff in? Uh, no I travel pretty light. If I need something, I can just buy it, right? Sure. I guess. I sound like a douche, I know. Cool, you wrestle? Yeah, man. Fourth year. Don't tell me you're the scholarship guy. Yeah. Oh, man, I'm living with the enemy. Howie's gonna flip. What? Who's Howie? It's the guy who used to be number one in your weight class. He couldn't make the weight last year, cos he's such a frickin' drunk. And we lost the Championship by this much last year. I mean, you're like the great white hope. I don't know about that. If Howie doesn't smother you in your sleep. So now I gotta watch my back. Hey, you think you're ready to run the canyon? Yeah. All right. Ten bucks to get to the top first. You're on. Oh! Hey, wait up. It gets dangerous up here. Later! Hoo-hoo-hoo! Hoo-hoo! Ten bucks, loser! Why did you do that? You know I don't have that money! Whoa, dude. Just relax, bro. It's a joke, man. Dude, I'm sorry. I get a little too competitive sometimes, and I overdid it. Man, I'm sorry. A little competitive? You're blood vessels in your face are about to pop, bro. It's all good. You good? Yeah, you? I'm good. Let's get out of here. Come on, guys. Shoot in there now. Come on. Take him down. That's it. Take him down. That's it. That's it. Just like that. Nice job. Oh. Nice job? You took me down. Dude. You killed it in there. What the hell, Howie? You missed two days in a row already. Coach is gonna suspend you again. Let him try. Let him try? This is your replacement. Shane. What's up, man? This is the scholarship guy? What loophole did you crawl through? It's called merit. I earned it. My father endows the scholarship fund, so I know that's not true. You must fall into the extreme poverty category. Cut it out. It's the only way the white trash get in. Whatever, man. Believe what you want. Mommy and Daddy on the welfare role sucking the state dry? Maybe Mommy was suckin' something else to get by. My parents are dead. (GRUNTS) Let's get outta here, Dude. Let's go. Next time I'll do more than lay you out. I think he just broke my nose! I just had that deviated septum fixed! The guys on the team are gonna think I'm such a punk. No. Howie is an ass, man. Dude, it was awesome. Well, I think I broke my hand. I got just the thing. Here. Take one of those. I don't` No, I don't need a muscle relaxant, dude. This is not a bull muzzle. Take it. Your hand will feel great and everything else will too. I wish I had these on my last team. Keep 'em. I got a whole supply. Howie's brother's a doctor. I got scripts for anything we want. Hey, you can't drink with 'em, though. Howie and I had a buddy that went to sleep and didn't wake up. Booze and those pills don't mix. Wow. Thanks. I got you. Night, man. Good night. You know, it's not like I go home every weekend, but it's Mom's birthday and all. Thanks for inviting me. I'm really looking forward to it. You're gonna have a great time. If you're as good on the tennis court as you are the matt, we'll give Dad a run for his money. How much do we get if we win? It's a figure of speech. What's with the jacket? I wanna make a good impression. There he is! Hey! There he is! Hey. Look who's here. Hey, buddy. What's up? How you doing? Good to see you. Mom, Dad, this is Shane. Hi. How are you? Hi. Welcome, Shane. Good to meet you. Thank you. Come on inside. Give me your bag. Thank you. This is my garden. Now, Brandon says that you do all of this professionally. No, no, no. If she were professional, she'd have to take money. She would never do that. No, Mom's got a bunch of rich friends that just use her for her talents. I'm not going to charge my friends. Well, I mean, this is beautiful, so I can see why they want your help. Thank you. At least somebody's nice to me. Hey. I'm still your biggest fan. We're gonna hit it so we can get a run in before tennis tomorrow. Thank you so much for dinner. It was delicious. My pleasure. Night. Not so fast. I need a hug from my son. Mm. I love this boy. Night, Pops. One sec. I like him. Big improvement over your last roommate. Hear, hear. Wait till you hear this. He's an orphan. Oh, that's so sad. Why is that sad? The kid is smart, he's athletic. He's got a full ride at a great school. Regardless. Brandon and I are gonna go out of our way to make Shane feel like family. Right? All right. All right. You can tell me about it when I get there. I'll be there in a few minutes. You're lucky I'm not in your weight class, otherwise you wouldn't touch the matt. Oh, I'm lucky? We're gonna hit it or we'll hit some traffic. Hey, Phil, take a picture. All right. Real quick. Get in here. Come on. Get in. OK, everybody. My handsome boys. All right. Pretend you're happy. Gotcha. OK. I'll catch you later. Drinks for the road? Where are you going? Something came up at the office. It's Mom's birthday. I know, but I'll see you later, OK? You always do this. Hey. Catch you later. I love you. I love you too. Drive safely, OK? I will. Thank you so much for everything. This was great. My pleasure. I have some turkey sandwiches for you guys. This is perfect. I love turkey. If you really love turkey, you should come back for Thanksgiving. Mom's a great cook. That'd be awesome. Thank you. OK. Happy birthday. What do you mean, you can't? Come on. Oh. I can't. You know I have class. Oh, come on. Just for a minute. I heard your new best friend took you home for the weekend. Was it fabulous? It was fine. Mrs Michaelson invite you to Thanksgiving? What if she did? So predictable. Don't plan on it. And what's that supposed to mean? Brandon brings all of his roommates home. They're all buddy-buddy and then... flavour of the month just doesn't taste so good any more. 'You're not good any more. You're nothing.' Whatever. You don't know what you're talking about. Don't say I didn't warn you. 'So, you're gonna be somebody? (SCOFFS) 'Is that` Is that what you think? Because you're gonna amount to nothing. Nothing. All right, brother, I'm gonna hit the shower. Cool. I'm Brandon Michaelson. Hi. I'm Shane Michaelson. Yo. What's up, brother? Hey. What's up, man? Hey. This is Erin. Erin, Shane. Hi. It's nice to meet you. Brandon has... said lots of great things about you. Well, I feel like I know you already too. (LAUGHS) Yeah. Hey, uh, catch you later, brother. We'll have a beer. Hey, what's up? Dude, I never thought you'd get here. Let me just save this, and we can go. What are you talking about? You said you wanted to go have a beer. Oh, no. I already got something else going on, man. You hanging out with Erin again? Yeah. So you` So you missed Sociology four times, you're late to practice. You're really starting to act like Howie. Really? You're going to miss the previews. Hey. Hi. Babe, why don't you go ahead, OK? I catch you up. OK. I really like this girl, OK? Talk later. So, Erin, are you from like Scotland? Ireland. Oh, you're hanging with the leprechauns? Always. Oh, yes. I love them. And you look like a leprechaun. This guy again. Hey, babe. Hey. Glad you came, brother. Got a beer for you. Cheers. Ireland, that's like an 11-hour flight, right? Uh, not counting the trip from Dublin to Limerick. And the buggy ride from Limerick to Cullinane. Cullinane. It's kind of hard to get home. It's so very expensive I just go for the summers. Holidays must suck. All alone. Everyone else at home... with their families. Oh, usually I find a sucker who's willing to take me in. Oh, a sucker now. That's your ticket to Thanksgiving. 'You never should have been born.' You were right. You were right. 'Yargh!' You were right. You were right. You were right. You were right. You were right. You were right. I'll rip you apart, you understand me? (LAUGHS) You're worthless, you waste of space. SNEAKY MUSIC DOOR CLOSES URGENT MUSIC MUSIC LIFTS Brandon. Mornin', buddy. Oh, look who it is. You just getting in now? Yes, sir, I am. What's going on? Janey's for a little, uh... Who am I to say no? You want some? Dude, come on. (INDISTINCT VOICES) Well, my dad, but isn't that the same thing? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. Catch you at practice. See you in three hours, right? Later. Hey. What are you doing? My wi-fi was down. I was just seeing if yours works. Next time ask. Sure. Sorry. I am done. Where are you going? I'm gonna catch a midnight flick with Erin. I'd love to see a movie. Boundaries, dude. Boundaries. Catch you later. Hey. Hey. Hey, I'm really glad I ran into you. Can I talk to you for a second? I'm cramming for an exam. Two minutes. OK. What? Well, this has to stay confidential. I can't agree if I don't know what it's about. Trust me. You need to hear this, but it has to stay between us. Promise? All right. Well, I heard some of the guys talking about you and what you like. Sex-wise. Like what? Tell me. That you participate a lot. And you and Brandon are... Participate? What's that supposed to mean? Ssh! That you're... loud. Like a porn star and that you're so proud of hi size that you buy the condoms. What? Are you kidding me? I'm sorry. I just thought you should know. Erin just broke up with me. Brandon, that sucks. I'm really sorry. Apparently I've been telling everybody about our sex life. Who said that? How would you know this stuff? Have you been spying on us? What? I don't know anything. I don't wanna know anything. That's not what she said. She came to me at the library to ask me if you really liked her or were just using her. All I said was what you told me last week. That's it, I swear. It's sounds like she's PMS-ing. She'll come back to you. She'll come crawling back, and she'll apologise, and it'll all be fine. If you believe Shane over Erin, you're an idiot. How would he know this stuff? He probably read your e-mail. After what happened with my mom last year, I delete everything twice a day. I empty the trash constantly. Maybe he hacked in. He doesn't even know how to use wi-fi. Hold on. You have so much crap on your desktop. How do you find anything? We don't care about his housekeeping. Did that loser hack in? This is stupid` Give me a chance. I haven't gotten to the hard drive yet. Check this out. I knew it. I told you, be careful with those charity cases. But no, you had to take him home, show him how rich you are. Rub it in his face. Bowlie, do you know where Brandon went? Brandon! Wait up, man. Get away from me. What's going on? Your stuff's gone from the dorm. I know what you did, dude. I didn't do anything. It's Erin. Erin's gone crazy. Spy Mirror? What are you, sick? Stop, man, what are you talking about? You're the only one with access to my computer. Don't even try. She was all you thought about, man. What I think about is none of your business. You're my best friend. We are not even friends. Don't say that, man. Erin's gone. We can go back to the way it was. She's out of the picture. Don't you get it? I want you out of my life. Come on, you hardly know her. We're brothers. We are not brothers. We are. No. You're a parasite, man. And Erin was a slut. I was just trying to protect you. I was just trying to protect you. Shane. Help me. Please help me. Please help me! Hold on, please. Help me. Help me! I'm sorry, man. Please, dude, I need your help. The branch is gonna break, man. Please give me your hand. OK. Hold on. OK. Hold on. Grab my hand, grab my hand. Hold on. Just hold on. It's breaking. Pull me up. Please, dude, the branch is gonna break. God! Come on! Come on! Wait! Wait, wait. Brandon. Brandon, did you - did you tell your parents what I did? No, I didn't say anything. Please help me up. This branch is gonna break! I don't know, man. I` I don't believe you, man. No, please, please don't! I don't believe you, man. No! Please! Please don't! I don't believe you, Brandon. Argh! SOLEMN MUSIC I'm here. (SOBS) It's like he was my own. Thanks for being here. You're the one who should have died. (SOBS) It must be... hard for you,... being back at school. Yeah, it's never been... easy for me to make friends. And even though I didn't know Brandon very long... he was always making sure I was included. I feel like I lost a brother. You know, I can't get the image out of my head of... him hanging from that branch. Yeah, me either. It's like I'm still there. He... He went over and... I reached down... And I got hold of him and we're holding each arm... And I was trying to pull him up. I'm trying so hard to save him. Our hands, they were` they were just` they were so sweaty. It was like he couldn't hold on any longer. Oh, my God. Oh, I` I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry. I'm sorry. No, no, don't worry. It's OK. I should probably go. My bus leaves in 10 minutes. Oh, yeah. Uh, thank you so much for bringing his car back up here. All right, so you're heading back home? Yeah, man. I'll drive myself. Oh, really? Hey. What are you doing here? Thought I'd come see you. It's Thanksgiving and all. And I brought some food and... your favourite. Thanks. So, how was your food, Dad? It's OK. You know I'm at a new school? Deerfield. Deerfield? Well. That explains it. Explains what? Why you showed up over here dressed like an ass. It's a holiday, Dad, I thought a jacket would be good. Where'd you get this? I bought it. Yeah? Pretty nice. Do you like it? Yeah. When did you change your name? What are you talking about? Well, it says here that this jacket belongs to a guy by the name of Kyle. Kyle, yeah. Yeah, that's the guy that I bought it from. Of course. Well, that explains it. You're a liar. You're always gonna be one. No, I'm not. No? Oh, yes, you are. OK. So, how the hell do you get all these scholarships? I earn them. What? I earn 'em. No. No, you don't. You lie. You give 'em that, "Oh, I'm an orphan." You make 'em feel sorry for you with the self-pity. You know what that is? That's fraud. You said it was the best way for me to go to college. To get what you want? To do what you want? Huh? Get off! Anything you do! No! You're never gonna amount to anything! You understand me? Do you hear me? You're nothing! You're nothing! You know what? You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna call that school and tell 'em the truth. I'm gonna show them who you really are. That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna show them who you really are! (SMOKE ALARM BEEPS) Oh my God! Come in. Who did this to you? Shane. Howie. Howie Biddell? Yeah. I ran into him at a party. And we were playing pool. And I said something about me and Brandon, about how we were going into business together. Howie went nuts. And he said Brandon was never my friend and that I didn't deserve to be at his funeral. You know that's not true. Clean yourself up. I'll get you a fresh shirt, OK? Really, I can take the bus. I want you to stay. It's too late. No, no, I feel like I'm in the way. No, not at all. Mrs Michaelson, you have a huge burden, and I really don't wanna make things worse. I'm happy to have some company. This house is, I always felt, too big. Now it's awful. Yes, this one was from kindergarten. I think it might be his first girlfriend. Holly. I think. Are you OK? Look at him. He always tried to act so cool, but all he ever really wanted was to find the right girl. He mentioned he'd met someone. I don't remember her name, but he said he was gonna bring her home to meet us. She didn't come to the funeral. You must have known her. Is her name Erin? Brandon was dating so many different girls, I'm not sure who he was talking about. That's so odd. He said they were really getting serious. I think I'll make us something to eat. No, I use actually my best friend Marta's basil recipe, which is really easy to make. You use a processor or a blender. Two cups of basil, three cloves of garlic, half a cup of olive oil and half a cup of walnuts or pine nuts. Some parmesan cheese. Anything else! You can remember all that. But I have this little thing that I just put a little butter... It's kind of cheating. If it tastes good... It tastes good, right? Yeah. I think that if you can cook it, you can cook` Hang on just a sec. Hey. Why didn't you come in to say hello? You were busy. We're making you dinner. I thought you said he was gonna be here for a day or two. It's been nice to have some company. I came home to see you. It'd be great to have more than a weekend together. I mean, we lost our son. I'm pretty much alone here. Yep. Well, I'm here now. Sorry. I'm not OK. Most days I feel like taking a bottle of Xanax and not waking up. I'll get Marta to come and stay here with you. When I'm not home. Hi. I overstayed my welcome. Oh, if it were up to me` Thank you for letting me borrow these. I really appreciate it. Keep them. They're yours. Thank you. Probably best you head back to school. Actually I'm not going back there. I can see that canyon from my dorm room window and... I'm still trying to forget. You have to get your degree. Mrs Michaelson, I know I might seem like I'm OK. But it was Brandon, you know? Shane, you` you've got your whole life ahead of you. It's true. But I can't go back even if I wanted to because Coach pulled my scholarship. What? Look, we donated $50,000 to that school last year. I'll talk to the coach. I'm sure under the circumstances, he'll` Thank you. But I've already tried, and it went all the way to the Dean. Do they know you've no family to fall back on? Yeah. Nobody cares about that stuff. What are you gonna do? I don't know, but please don't worry about me. I've been on my own for a really long time, and I can always go back to landscaping or construction. Where are you gonna stay? I don't know about that either. But I promise you, I will figure it out. Come with me. This property is so big. We have tons of projects around here. Starting with this. Wow. Yeah. You can work on the gazebo and stay in the guest house. What about your husband? I'll talk to him. (BANGING) Oh, come on. Does he really have to do this on my day off? You realise you've been begging me to finish that thing for a year. He's doing it for free. Fine. I'll go to the club. You can go upstairs, close the windows. As soon as he's done with that, I want him gone. Yes, sir (!) I know Phil's hurting too. And he has to keep the business running, but we should be able to help each other through this. Everyone grieves differently. This isn't just about Brandon. He hasn't really been interested... in a while. What do you mean interested? You mean 'interested' interested? Are you kidding me? Why didn't you tell me? It's embarrassing. You guys were maniacs. If you're not doing it, there's no hope for the rest of us. Now on the rare occasion he decides to bless me with sex, he barely looks at me. (SIGHS) I don't know. Maybe` Maybe it's time. Time for what? We split up. Are you out of your mind? Caren, you can't get a divorce the same year you lose your son. You'd wind up in a loony bin. It hurts. A guy you've devoted your whole life to, you know? I have a solution. Have an affair. I could never do that. Yes, you could. No way! Have you seen the new tennis pro? You know you'd never get caught cos Phil is never here. (LAUGHS) Hi. Hi. (LAUGHS) BOTH LAUGH Thank you. Oh, I'm sorry. Shane. Ssh. No. Are you OK? I don't know. Are you gonna make me leave? No. (CHUCKLES) I love seeing you this happy. (SIGHS) Let's just go away someplace forever. (GASPS) Hey. Hey. Hey, Mr Michaelson. Let me just get a replacement light bulb, and I'll be right back. What's he doing in our room? He's replacing a bulb. The one that's been out for months. Hey. How was your trip? We've gotten a lot done while you've been gone. The gazebo's almost finished, the gutters have been cleared, that new garden is coming together. What are you doing? What are you doing? Phil... It's best if Phil and I eat alone tonight. You don't have to worry about me. I'm not gonna ruin things for you guys. Touch me. Oh, I need you. Oh, touch me. Could be better, could be better. Hi. Hi. Would you also like to smell these wonderful tuber roses? Oh, sure. It smells like Jasmine. We only have them a couple of times a year, so it's very rare. Mm. Um, I don't know. I'll be right back. How you doing over there? I'm good. Was that a friend of yours from school? Who? That girl that you were just talking to. No, I, uh` I just met her. She's pretty. She's OK. What is it? Tell me. I think you should be dating girls your own age. What are you talking about? I'm with you. Shane, this is crazy. This isn't crazy. Caren, I` I love you. And I have never felt like this about anyone. Ever. At some point you're gonna realise that you wanna be with people your own age. No. The only thing that I want is to be connected to another person, to be connected to you. You're too young to know what you really want. I'm so sorry. Phil will be home in a couple of hours. It would be best if you were gone when we wake up. I want you to keep the car. ANXIOUS MUSIC Shane? Shane, I thought you understood`! Oh my God! Oh no. This wasn't an attempt to get attention. Take these pills with alcohol, a lot of people become vegetables. It shuts your muscles down for good. The boy's lucky that he didn't go into respiratory arrest. OK. So, he will need to see our psych team a couple of times a week until he's out of danger. I'll get you the information. All I'm asking for is two weeks to get him stronger. Two weeks for you to get him stronger? Why is he your responsibility? Why do you have to fix him? It's not your job. There's no one else. No one. I promised the hospital that we would take care of him. Oh, really? Yeah. What's he gonna do? Hm? Can't we just be kind to each other for two weeks? Wow. This looks great. Thank you. There you go. No one's ever taken care of me like this before. You really make people seem good. I want to finish that work on the gazebo. Before I go. I'll get some frozen things so don't be very long, OK? Mrs Michaelson? Yes. I'm Erin. I was your son's girlfriend right before he died. What brings you up here? I had a job interview. And then I saw Shane. He's been staying with us. Why? Brandon's death was really hard on him. He couldn't go back to school, so... Brandon and Shane weren't even friends when Brandon died. Brandon wanted nothing to do with him. No. They were like brothers. They were gonna open a business together. No. No. Brandon had already moved out of their room. What? Shane became this obsessed freak. And he hacked into Brandon's computer. He lied. How`? I don't understand. Ask Howie Biddell. He told me everything. I've got to go. Why should I believe you? Check Brandon's credit card bill. He bought us plane tickets to Dublin for Christmas. Sorry. She's a pathological liar. That's why Brandon broke up with her. You told me Brandon was dating a bunch of girls. Why didn't she introduce herself at the funeral? I didn't know she was at the funeral. She told me to talk to Howie. What do you suppose that's about? I'll put these things away. Why don't you take that stuff out to the gazebo? Hey, Mrs Michaelson. How's it going? Hi, Howie. Listen, I need you to tell me what you know about Shane? Why do you wanna know? Did somebody else fall off a cliff? I'm sorry. Please, Howie. He's come to visit and I need to know what I'm dealing with. Um, freakin' psycho. The guy attacked me for no reason. Hey, Howie, you coming or what? Yeah! Hold on! At Thanksgiving? Because he said you attacked him. Thanksgiving? I was in Cabo. Dude! Wait` Wait, Howie, I need to talk to you. Mrs M. I gotta go. Get that whack job out of your house. Howie? It's time for you to leave. No. No? Caren, do you wanna tell Phil you've been sleeping with your son's best friend in his bed? If you do, let's tell him together. UNSETTLING MUSIC DANCE MUSIC Mm-hm, Mm-hm, Mm-hm. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. There we go. That's for me! No! (LAUGHS) What do you mean? My family practically owns this place. My father and grandfather were brothers. My son will be a brother. A brother. Uh... Wait here. Why? You'll see. It's a surprise. I love surprises. Did you turn on the water? Maybe. Come on. Ew! What is that? You threw up in here, didn't you? (LAUGHS) Yesterday. I think. That's disgusting, Howie. Well, that's why we're gonna do it in the tub. Oh! So you do expect me to get naked? Well, it's kinda hard to get to the jewels if you've got the jeans on, though, isn't it? You're horrible (!) Mm. Mummy doesn't think so. Yeah? (RIPPING) This is my favourite shirt, Howie! (LAUGHS) You're such a jerk when you drink. Don't go. Drop dead! I'll buy you three more just like it. (CHUCKLES) (SIGHS) I am not a whack job. And I am not a psycho, Howie. All I wanted was a new life. And you had to ruin it. But I am not gonna let you ruin what I have with Caren. Howie, it's Mrs Michaelson. I'm trying to get together with you and maybe Erin. Uh, I'll be on campus in about 15 minutes. I really need to talk to you. Give me a call as soon as you get this, OK? Thank you. Hey. What's going on? I don't know. Colin? What's happened? Howie drowned in the bathtub. What?! Oh, my God! It's not a coincidence. He just told you. Shane hated Howie. They fought all the time. Lots of kids fight. that doesn't make 'em homicidal. My son and his best friend both killed in a matter of months. We've questioned every kid here, and everyone, including Colin, says that Howie was abusing prescription drugs and drinking every night. That's a toxic combination. What are you doing? I'm not your trash. You can't just throw me out. I'm calling the police. Do it and I'll call Phil while you're at it. You're making a huge mistake. Caren, he doesn't love you the way I do. I've been... sleeping with... Shane. In the house. While you were gone. (SOBS) I'm... I'm` I` I'm so sorry. I'm` I'm so` I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. You're sorry? That all you have to say, you're sorry? I needed someone,... and he was there. You needed somebody, and he was there. Yeah. So it could have been anybody, but it just happened to be our son's best friend. I work 30 weeks a year. I'm on the road 30 weeks a year. I have never once cheated on you. You own the company. You don't need to be on the road. You choose to be away from me. You do. You choose it. OK? I` I had Brandon. Now I have no one. I have no one! I have no one! But I didn't humiliate myself sleeping with some kid! Shame on you. Oh, God. Where are you going? To the club. What do you care? Phil. He's dangerous. You should have thought of that before you slept with him. You know, you're not so perfect yourself. You're always gone and... And what? And when you're here, you're not so nice to her. We've all heard the comments. Mario. Mr Michaelson, you need to take it easy. Mario, I would like another drink. Mr Michaelson, please. I could lose my job. Hey, Phil, look. You can't get pulled over again, OK? I don't need this. Hey, let me give you a ride home. I am fine. Look, you could hurt somebody out there. How? I'm fine. Come on, Phil. FOREBODING MUSIC Hey! Hey! Hey! TYRES SCREECH CRASH! Hey! MONITOR BEEPS SINISTER MUSIC And this is the kid that's been living with you? He's been living in our guest house. He was her handyman. Are you gonna help her or what? I can bring him in, but I don't have anything to hold him on. There's no way that was an accident. Ladies, I have to go by the facts. It's a dangerous road. His blood alcohol content was 0.14. If you're wrong, what's to keep Shane from getting to Phil in here? Please, could you just get us some protection? Put somebody outside the door or something. He's not gonna stop, you know? I'm sorry, ma'am, it's not my call. You'll have to talk to the captain. I already did. Apparently he's as eager too help me as you are. (PHONE RINGS) I have to take this. Yeah, what is it? Caren. Caren, they're here. Oh. Thanks. Hey! What are you guys doing? Discharging my husband. What?! I'm taking him home. That's foolish. He'll get much better care here. Not unless you've got a gun. Look, if anybody finds out about this, I could get in a lot of trouble. I didn't have a choice. It's all right. Just do it. Just let us know. It's OK. What are you doing here? I want you off my property. You don't have to do this. Don't make me call the police. Remember that first weekend when Phil came home and you missed me so much you had to sneak into my room in the middle of the night? You didn't care how dangerous it was. Shane, I need you to leave. Please remember I belong to you. And you belong to me. Shane, please. Caren, you cannot cut me out of your life. Do you know how hard this is? It's like half of me is missing. Let's go away like you said. Let's start a new life. You don't understand. Phil's obsessed. I know Brandon's death was an accident, but he's convinced you made it happen. The second he gets better, he's gonna hunt us down. That's a problem I can solve. How? No! No, I can't. He's Brandon's father. It would be horrible. You don't have to do anything. It's too dangerous. You can't take that risk. Why? I was never happy a day in my life until I met you. Being with you is the only thing that matters to me. You'll never get away with it. I saw how he was hooked up in the hospital. You were there? I'll take care of it. No one will know. We're putting him in the library. He has a nurse. She takes a break at 10. OK. Shane, I can't know about any of this. Just unlock the library door. OK? OK. I love you. I love you too. MONITOR BEEPS FOREBODING MUSIC SNEAKY MUSIC You killed my son, you son of a bitch!
