I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) - full transcript
After an accident on a winding road, four teens make the fatal mistake of dumping their victim's body into the sea. But exactly one year later, the dead man returns from his watery grave and he's looking for more than an apology.

That's got to be the prettiest girl

I tell ya.
Now let's welcome back
our six finalists onstage.
Come on back out, girls.
There they are.
They're as pretty as they can be,

I'll tell you, we're proud of you, girls.
You worked hard. Your mamas and

We're mighty proud of you.
All right!
[AUDIENCE CHEERS]
Whoo-hoo!
God, look at her.
I mean, she was born for this.
I had no idea her breasts were so ample.
Dude, she does these

Guys, hi.
I'm on sexist overload as it is.
Kill the commentary.
Now, in the spirit
of mother Teresa,
what will be your contribution to
your community and the world at large?
Well, Bob, at summer's end
I plan to move to New York City,
where I'll pursue a career
as a serious actress.
It's my goal to entertain the world
through artistic expression.
Through art,
I shall serve my country.

Hey, it's all about the hair.

So, the "do's" vital. Got it.
Hey, you ridin' with me?
Uh, no, tell mom I'll be late.
Uh, is little miss croaker

Aww, a twit with a wit.
Eat me.
Hey, Julie.
Brought you a shooter on the house.
Oh, thanks, Max, but you know what,
I have this mental block.
I can't get past the slime.
How 'bout I take you out
before you leave town?
You know, kind of
a bon voyage thing.
Oh, uh...
you know what, I...
I don't, I don't think so, Max.
We've been friends since forever.
Now, you can't just leave
without a farewell, right?
Right.
A toast... to us.
To our last summer of...
immature, adolescent decadence.
HELEN: Somebody's buzzed.
Yo, chum bait, take a hike.
[CROWD STARTLES]
Hey, easy! Easy!
- Hey! Come on, man.
- Barry, they're just friends.
C'mon man, this is tired.
Hey, Ray, just taking care
of your girl like I promised.
Thanks, buddy.
Let's blow.
Yeah, hey, let's beam down to
Dawson's beach.
Little joyride.
Good-bye.
[CAR RADIO BLASTS]
[CAR REVS AND SCREECHES]
RAY: So the boy and girl
are making out, right,
when they hear over the radio
that this lunatic killer's
escaped from an insane asylum.
He's got this long,
sharp hook for a hand, right?
BARRY: Dude, your tellin' it wrong.
Shut up.
So the girl, she gets all scared, right?
She wants to go home.
And the boy, all hot and bothered,
he gets pissed and peels out.
- No, no, no. That's not the way it goes.
Okay, the boy goes for help,
and the girl stays in the car,
and she hears this,
like, scratching sound—
It's not a scratching sound.
It's a drip. Drip, drip.
No, it's scratching because the guy's
been hung from a tree limb
and his feet are scratching
on the roof of the car.
No. He's been decapitated,
and it's the blood from his severed neck
that's dripping on the car,
and it's going, drip, drip, drip.
No, he wasn't decapitated.
He was gutted with a hook.
That's the way
I heard it.
Look, you're all wrong.
They get back to the girl's house
and they find the lunatic's
bloody hook in the car door.
Now, that's the original story.
That's the way it really happened.
Hey, hey.
None of it really happened.
It's a bullshit ghost story to begin with.
No, it's not.
- It's true.
- HELEN: Yeah, I don't think so, Ray.
- I swear it.
- JULIE: Please.
It's a fictional story created
to warn young girls
of the dangers of having premarital sex.
Well, actually, honey,
and you know how terrified
I am of your I.Q...
it's an urban legend, American folklore.
And they all usually originate
from some sort of real-life incident.
[WAVE CRASHES]
[HELEN SHRIEKS AND LAUGHS]
So, by that time,
I will just be finishing my two-year
contract on Guiding Light,
coinciding with your first year
as starting quarterback for the Steelers.
- Cowboys.
- Whoever.
Then, we can elope
to Europe, or the Caymans,
wherever,
where I'll let you impregnate me...
with the first of three children...
before you head off to rehab.
And then we can live
happily,
blah, blah, blah.
JULIE: Ray? Ray?
Where'd you go?
I'm gonna hook you!
[SHRIEKS AND LAUGHS]
Hey, Ray, you don't really
believe all that crap, do you?
That's true.
Please, the hook is
really a phallic symbol.
- Oh, really?
- Yeah, ultimately castrated.
[LAUGHS]
God, I'm gonna miss you.
You don't have to.
You can always ditch this Boston thing,
and come to New York with me.
Yeah, well, we can't all sit
in a village coffeehouse
and ramble esoterically on our laptops.
There just isn't enough room.
- See, nobody gets me the way you do.
- I understand your pain.
Precisely.
I hate this.
I really hate this.
You're gonna go off, and you're
gonna fall for some head-shaven,
black-wearing, tattoo-covered,

That sounds attractive.
- And I'll never see you again.

- It must've been a dog or something.
Jesus Christ, my fuckin' car!
You fuck!
Can't you see where you're goin'?
Look, it came out of nowhere.
I didn't see it!
A dog couldn't have done that.
Yeah, well, a fuckin' deer could.
Look, you dropped your bottle.
I was just trying to—
- My dad is going to freak.
- Barry, it was an accident,
leave him alone.
Where is it?
If it was a deer, then where is it?
Look, m-maybe it ran off.

RAY: Yeah.
BARRY: Come on, Helen.
JULIE: No!
I couldn't see it!
Look, I swear!
- Is he dead?
- I don't know.
- Check his pulse.
- No way!
- You're the one who rammed him!
- Just do it!
I think he's dead.
Shit! Fuck!
Who is he?
I can't tell.
His face is all messed up.
What the hell was he doing out here?
We've gotta call the police
and get an ambulance out here.
Hey, hey, what's
your hurry?
The guy's dead.
You're not a doctor.
You don't make that decision.
Use your brain, Julie.
We call the police, and we're fucked.
It was an accident.
Look, let's think about this a minute.
Think about what?
Think about what?
He was crossing the road
in the middle of the night, okay?
It was an accident.
You weren't drinking or speeding.
- There's liquor all over the car.
- But you're sober.
- They'll never believe I was driving.
- It's my car. They'll nail my ass.
That's not true.
Are you kidding?
Look at me.
I'm drunk as shit.
I'm fucked.
No, we'll call the police.
We'll tell them the truth!
They'll believe us.
It's manslaughter.
We're gonna fry no matter
who takes the fall.
Then we leave right now.
No way.
Are you crazy?
The grill's busted.
There's blood everywhere.
We can clean it up. Come on.
Listen to yourselves.
No, we are going to the police!
We don't have time for your shit!
You understand, we gotta move fast!
Hey! Now, let's try to stay calm.
Focus.
Don't you get it?
If there's some of him on the car,
there's some of the car on him.
They're gonna trace it back to you.
You're looking at a hit-and-run.
Then we dump the body.
You've lost it.
Look, just pretend we were never here.
We could drag him to the water
and dump him in.
They wouldn't find the fucker for weeks.
By that time all the evidence
would be washed away.
If they found him at all.
The currents are strong.
The undertow,
it could carry him out to sea.
I won't be any part of it.
Look, I'm scared, Julie.
Look, I'm not like the rest of you.
I don't have your family
or the money to get me out of this.
Please.
This is your future, Julie.
Think about it.
College. There's your scholarship.
The guy's already dead.
If we go to the police, we're dead too.
[DISTANT CAR SCREECHES]
Fuck.
- HELEN: What do we do?
- BARRY: Help me.
Shit, they're slowing down!
HELEN: Who is it?
It's Max.
Get rid of him!
Julie, what you got, car trouble?
Actually, um...
[BARRY WRETCHES AND COUGHS]
It's Barry.
He's had way too much to drink.
And we're trying to keep
the upchuck out of the new car.
- Well, it doesn't look so new anymore.
- Yeah, don't drink and drive.
Daddy's gonna be mad.
What can I do for you, Max?
You can wipe that
"my shit don't stink" grin off your face.
Okay, Max, will do.
Have a good night.
You almost got that rich boy act down, Ray.
We'll be seeing you, Max.
Yep.
Take care, Julie.
BARRY: Even if his body washes ashore
in the next couple of weeks,
it'll be eaten by crabs and small fish.
Maybe we'll get lucky with a shark.
[HEAVY BREATHING]
Take him to the side.
- Put him down.
- Easy.
That's it.
[WATER SPLASHES]
- Let's do it.
- Wait.
What?
Should we check his wallet
and see who he is?
- Why?
- I don't know, okay?
Just to know.
I don't wanna know.
Let's just pretend he's some
escaped lunatic with a hook for a hand,
and we're doing everybody a favor.
Ray, help me.
I don't think I can, Barry.
Shit! We agreed.
- Come on, Barry. It's not too late.

I'll never mention it again.
We make a pact, right here and now,
we take this to our grave.
Agreed.
Julie?

Are you on drugs?
What?
I just wanted to surprise you.
I want an honest reaction.
No.
[JULIE HUFFS]
No, mom. No drugs.
Well, then, what is wrong?
I mean, you look like death.
Yeah, well, I've had a rough year.
You got some mail.
A letter came today.
It's not your report card, though,
that came last week.
Mom, I know it looks bad,
but the summer session went really well.
Well, it would have to
because according to the Dean,
you only have one more chance.
It's not that serious. Really.

was there that night?

H-has Barry seen this?
HELEN: Do you ever see Barry at school?
JULIE: It's a big campus.
Are you sure he came back?
I saw his car the other day at the gym.
Did you guys break up?
Hey!
What are you two doin' here?
[JULIE SIGHS]
Hi, Bar.
This is nothing.
"I know what you did last summer"?
Ooh. What a crock of shit.
We need help.
Yeah, I'll say. You know, you guys should
check out a mirror once in a while.
You two look like shit run over twice.
You're a prick.
We can't just ignore it.
Come on, Julie.
How do you know this is even related?
You did a lot of things last summer.
Yeah, well, only one murder comes to mind.
You shut the hell up!
[DISTANT PHONE CHATTER]
We didn't murder anyone.
He was still alive
when we dumped him in the water.
Do we have to rehash this?
It was an accident.
The guy was in the middle of the road.
His name was David Egan.
Who?
David Egan.
He was found three weeks after we...
His body was caught in a shrimp net
not far from Miller's dock.
It was in the paper.
I think the police called it
an accidental drowning.
You can call it an accident all you want,
but he died because of us.
That's certain.
What about Ray?
Have you shown this letter to him?
What does he think?
I haven't seen Ray
since last summer.
We broke up, and last I heard
he was working up north.
Okay, let's suppose
somebody was there that night.
Why send a letter one year later?
Probably some crack fuckin' around.
Max.
Max, what... you think?
Who else? He was there.

Hey, Max.
Listen, can we talk a sec, in private?
Oh, what, this isn't
private enough for you?
Yeah, what?
Ow!
Look, you shit, we got your little letter.
- What the hell are you talking about?
- Don't fuck with me, Max!
- You saw us that night.
- What the fuck are you on, huh?
- Jesus!
- Listen, I'm gonna say this once.
I'll fuckin' kill your ass.
I got no problem with that.
- Oh, get the fuck off me. Get off of me.
- Understand?
Ah! Shit.
Motherfucker!
Don't you test me, motherfucker!
I'll call the cops
on your college quarterback ass!
- So, did he admit to the letter?
- He won't bother you anymore.
- What did you do?
- I took care of it, okay?
- How?
- I scared the shit out of him, all right?
Well, I'll be damned.

You got a minute?
I gotta get back to work.

We can get together.
Yeah, okay.
We need to talk.
- Do you think Max sent it?
- Barry does. I don't know.

So, how's school?
So, you're a fisherman.
Yeah, prophecy fulfilled, right?
I've become my father.
I thought you didn't know your dad.
Ah, he worked the boats.
That's all I do know about him.
Look, I thought a lot about last summer.
I know you hold me responsible
for what happened.
I don't hold you responsible.
No, I'm responsible for my own actions,
and I don't blame you.

No, he wasn't trying
to kill me last night.
If he wanted me dead,
he could've done it.
He's just fuckin' with us.
- Who is?
- I don't know. Some guy in a slicker.
Well, that narrows it down, this being
a quaint little fishing village and all.
And since you bring it up,
we all know you have a slicker.
You are not gonna throw this on me.
- Come on guys, please don't do this.
- This isn't getting us anywhere!
Look, maybe we should just come clean.
No.
No, we made a pact,
and we're gonna keep it.
Yeah, but that's insane now, Barry.
Look at us. This secret's killing us.
I'm not going to the police,
and you're not either.
Barry, please.
We could put an end to it
and maybe salvage some
small fraction of a life.
And how do we do that, huh?
There was no accident, Julie.
It was murder.
Your words, remember? Murder.
I say we find the fuck who's doing this
and have a little one-on-one.
- What, like last night, Bar?
- Fuck you!
No, Barry's right.
Whoever's doing
this isn't going to the police.
We could find this guy, talk to him.
How do we find him?
Well, it's gotta be a friend or
a family member of the guy we hit.
What was his name?
- David Egan.
- Right.
David Egan.
Look, I don't think
we should give up on Max.

"The driver, David Egan, was unharmed."
I remember that wreck two summers ago.
"Susie was engaged to David.
They were going to be married."

"Survived by his mother Claire
and sister Melissa Egan of Maribel County."

we're in the neighborhood, so..."
Look, I thought we'd scope
it out, then play it by ear.
Don't you think we should have
some sort of a plan?
Angela Lansbury always had a plan.
What if they're waiting for us?
What if they recognize us?
They could have a gun, shoot us dead.
It's been a year, Helen.
They could've done that already.
Jodie Foster tried this, and a skin ripping
serial killer answered the door.
[KNOCKS]
[KNOCKS]
Well, it was a good try.
Adding breaking and entering
to our crime spree?
Can I help you?
[CROWS CAW]
Oh, um, hi.
Our car stalled down the road,
and we were just wondering if
maybe we could use your phone?
- Phone's over there.
- Oh, thanks.
Um, Jodie,
will you call AAA?
You got it, Angela.
[GASPS]
My name is Missy Egan.
Are you girls from Maribel?
- Oh, Southport.
- Uh, I went to Southport High.
Yeah, I knew you looked familiar.
Wh-what year?
Uh, class of '88.
Your name, Egan, sounds very familiar.
Did you have a brother or something?
I did, but he was younger than me.
David. Younger.
- What class was he?
- '92, but he's dead. He died last July.
I'm so sorry.
- Thanks.
- D-do you, uh, do you live alone?
Yeah, I do.
Oh, well, my daddy died
a long time ago, and my mama,
she's in a home in Aurora,
because she didn't take too well
to what happened to David.
Things just haven't been
the same since he died.
They're on their way.
I could, I could make you guys
a cup of tea while you're waitin'.
- Thanks.
- Yeah, thanks. That's nice of you.
You know, I think I remember David.
He had a friend, right?
What was his name?
Who?
Didn't he hang out with this guy?
And they were really close.
- God, What was his name? Um...
- Oh, I don't know.
I didn't...
I didn't know too many of David's friends.
Oh.
But there was one guy, one guy.
He stopped by not too long
after David's death,
and... and he came to pay his respects.
- Really?
- Oh, yeah. He was a really nice guy.
He was cute and smart and well,
we were...
we were sweet on each other for about
two minutes, but it didn't work out.
You know, he did...
he never really said it,
but I think it hurt him to be around me.
Where is this old friend now?
Oh, I don't know.
- Do you remember his name?
- Billy.
Did he have a last name?
Blue. Billy Blue.
Well, you know what? We should probably
wait back at the car.
No, don't be ridiculous.
Why don't... uh, stay.
No, I don't, I don't want to miss AAA.
- We appreciate the phone.
- Anytime, you know.
I-I don't get too many knocks
on my door nowadays.
You okay?
I wigged out. I'm sorry.
But being in his house
and seeing his sister...
God. Do you see what we've done?
It was an accident.
Helen, we killed a man, and then
ruined the lives of everyone he knew.
I don't think we're that powerful, Julie.
You're giving us too much credit.
Hey!
- You forgot your cigarettes.
- Thank you.
Well, I see you've got this car started,
didn't you?
Yeah, damnedest thing.
It started right up.
Funny how that happens.
So, what now?
Now we try and locate this Billy Blue.
Maybe he wanted to die.
- What?
- David Egan.
His girlfriend was killed on that same road
July 4th, one year earlier.
Maybe he blamed himself.
Maybe he was sitting in the road
waiting for us to hit him.
Yeah, if that will help you
sleep at night.
What happened between us?
We used to be best friends.
We used to be a lot of things.
I miss you.
Yeah, well.
TV ANNOUNCER: Low in the dirt, ball two.
ANNOUNCER 2: Garrett just doesn't seem
to have his typical control today, Greg.
In fact, this is as wild as we've ever
seen this season.
That's right, Dave.
In fact, over the last three games,
he's only allowed three bases on balls,
not one of those runners ever scored.
Pretty remarkable indeed
as Neale steps back into the box—
Hey, dad.
One to nothing here in the third.
Garrett taking his time.
Here's the pitch.
Strike one.
Wicked cut.
Neale seemed fooled by that pitch.
In fact, in addition
to the split-fingered fastball...
Ready now with the
sign and the pitch. Fouled off.
Strike two.
Last year, Neale would've
been sending that pitch...
over to the next County.
- It's true.
[DOOR GENTLY CLICKS]
And the pitch.
Very high and very inside.
I don't know what it is.
I couldn't agree more, as the count
is full now at three and two.
Garrett settling himself,
looking at the sign.
Here's the windup.
There's a smash up the middle!
- They got him!
- Nice play at second. Wow, what a play.

Well, dad put me in charge of the store,

He was dead, okay?
I saw him with... with these crabs.
You do it.
No, don't even...
he was there, goddamn it!
And he was wearing your jacket, Barry.
Well, where'd he go?
Did the crabs carry him away?
- I swear to God.
- I believe you, Julie.
He took the body.
He came and he took the body.
- Why would he do that?
- I don't know, Barry. Okay?
Why would he try to run you over?
Why did he make coleslaw on Helen's head?
He's fucking with us!
Come on, Julie.
Let's go back to the house.
Where's your jacket, Barry?
Don't you see?
He's got us now.
Okay, this is exactly what he wants.
We can't go to the police.
Not now. He's made sure of that.
He's just out there
and he's watching us and waiting.
What are you waiting for, huh?
What are you waiting for?
What are you doin' here?
Hey, I've been lookin' everywhere
for you guys.
You're gonna die.
[GRUNTS]
- Hey, stop it!
- What are you doin'?
- Stop it! Stop!
- I didn't do anything!
You're fuckin' lyin'.
He's lying!
Leave him alone, Barry. Get a grip.
No, wake up, Julie!
He's behind this.
How many fucked-up fishermen
are out there?
Look, he's after me too.
I got a letter.
Oh, you got a letter.
I got run over,
Helen gets her hair chopped off,
Julie gets a body in a trunk
and you get a letter?
That's balanced.
What body?
What are you talking about?
Drop the act.
You killed Max, you took my jacket.
- Max is dead?
- What is it with you, Ray?
You were doggin' us from the start,
weren't you?
Always wantin' to be our friend,
to be one of us
but you were too fuckin' jealous
to handle it.
- Look, fuck you!
- JULIE: Stop it!
Look, we have to stick together,
all right?
We have to help each other.
Okay, so if it's not fisher boy here,
who is it and how do we find him?
We think his name is Billy Blue.
How do you know that?
Missy said there was
a friend named Billy Blue.
Who probably went to school
with David Egan.
So, according to sis,
that would make him class of '92.
Elsa was class of '92.
Maybe there's something
in her yearbook.
RAY: That's him, huh?
It's hard to believe that's the guy.
Yeah, his face isn't splattered
all over the road, dumb ass.
Maybe Blue's not his real name.
That's right. I mean, he could've easily
lied to Missy. We did.
Maybe we should bring the
yearbook to Missy.
- If she had it in front of her...
- She could point him out.
I'm not goin' anywhere.
What... high school mug shots? What?
I'll go.
You've got that parade today.
- Forget it.
- No!
No, you need to be there
in case he shows up.
I don't want him to show up!
Look, Helen, this could be our chance.
Okay, we could catch him.
I'll go to Missy's.
Barry, go to the parade with Helen
and don't let her out of your sight.
- If he shows up—
- I'll pound his ass.
Listen to yourselves.
You sound like a bunch of vigilantes.
It's July 4th, Ray.
Okay? This is his day.
Whatever he has planned
is gonna happen today unless we stop him.
Look, come on, Julie.
Don't you see?
It's that moment where
we have to make a decision.
Let's make the right one this time.
I'm not interested in
what's right anymore, Ray.
I wanna do what's smart.
Then let's get the hell out of here.
We can leave town, disappear.
I've already disappeared.
Okay, now I want my life back.
Look, we have to face this.

I was thinking maybe you could

What... what's this all about?
Well, it's too crazy to explain,
but it has to do with your
brother and last July 4th.
What about it?
What happened to your brother
wasn't an accident.
There's more to it than that.
- I know.
- You know what?
Well, he killed himself.
He what?
He, uh...
he went up there to die that night.
That's where Susie died.
See, the whole town
blamed him for her death.
So, he blamed himself.
But how do you know it was a suicide?
He left a note.
I had to keep this hidden from the
insurance company 'cause they wouldn't...
they wouldn't pay me the money,
you know, if it was suicide.
Uh...
yeah, that don't much matter
anymore because money's been spent.
That's it.
This isn't a suicide note.
This is a death threat.
What are you ta...
what are you talking about?
Your brother didn't kill himself, Missy.
I saw him. I was there
and whoever sent this was there too.
What do you mean,
where did you see him? Where?
He was crossing the road. We hit him.
- It was an accident.
- No!
- My brother drowned.
- I saw him.
He had "Susie" tattooed on his arm.
- He doesn't have a tattoo on his arm.
- I saw it on his right forearm.
You didn't see anything!
Get outta here.

No, he used scissors, asshole.
Look, okay, I know I sound delusional,
but it's true.
You know, I've heard this story before,

it wasn't a fisherman,
it was an escaped mental patient

Well, we're gonna have to

He's got this long,

BARRY: Dude, your tellin' it wrong.
Shut up.
So the girl, she gets all scared, right?
She wants to go home.
And the boy, all hot and bothered,
he gets pissed and peels out.
- No, no, no. That's not the way it goes.
Okay, the boy goes for help,
and the girl stays in the car,
and she hears this,
like, scratching sound—
It's not a scratching sound.
It's a drip. Drip, drip.
No, it's scratching because the guy's
been hung from a tree limb
and his feet are scratching
on the roof of the car.
No. He's been decapitated,
and it's the blood from his severed neck
that's dripping on the car,
and it's going, drip, drip, drip.
No, he wasn't decapitated.
He was gutted with a hook.
That's the way
I heard it.
Look, you're all wrong.
They get back to the girl's house
and they find the lunatic's
bloody hook in the car door.
Now, that's the original story.
That's the way it really happened.
Hey, hey.
None of it really happened.
It's a bullshit ghost story to begin with.
No, it's not.
- It's true.
- HELEN: Yeah, I don't think so, Ray.
- I swear it.

David Egan.
He was found three weeks after we...
His body was caught in a shrimp net
not far from Miller's dock.
It was in the paper.
I think the police called it
an accidental drowning.
You can call it an accident all you want,
but he died because of us.

Things just haven't been
the same since he died.
They're on their way.
I could, I could make you guys
a cup of tea while you're waitin'.
- Thanks.
- Yeah, thanks. That's nice of you.
You know, I think I remember David.
He had a friend, right?
What was his name?
Who?
Didn't he hang out with this guy?
And they were really close.
- God, What was his name? Um...
- Oh, I don't know.
I didn't...
I didn't know too many of David's friends.
Oh.
But there was one guy, one guy.
He stopped by not too long
after David's death,
and... and he came to pay his respects.
- Really?
- Oh, yeah. He was a really nice guy.
He was cute and smart and well,
we were...
we were sweet on each other for about
two minutes, but it didn't work out.
You know, he did...
he never really said it,
but I think it hurt him to be around me.
Where is this old friend now?
Oh, I don't know.
- Do you remember his name?
- Billy.
Did he have a last name?
Blue. Billy Blue.
Well, you know what? We should probably
wait back at the car.
No, don't be ridiculous.
Why don't... uh, stay.
No, I don't, I don't want to miss AAA.
- We appreciate the phone.
- Anytime, you know.
I-I don't get too many knocks
on my door nowadays.
You okay?
I wigged out. I'm sorry.
But being in his house
and seeing his sister...
God. Do you see what we've done?
It was an accident.
Helen, we killed a man, and then
ruined the lives of everyone he knew.
I don't think we're that powerful, Julie.
You're giving us too much credit.
Hey!
- You forgot your cigarettes.
- Thank you.
Well, I see you've got this car started,
didn't you?
Yeah, damnedest thing.
It started right up.
Funny how that happens.
So, what now?
Now we try and locate this Billy Blue.
Maybe he wanted to die.
- What?
- David Egan.
His girlfriend was killed on that same road
July 4th, one year earlier.
Maybe he blamed himself.
Maybe he was sitting in the road
waiting for us to hit him.
Yeah, if that will help you
sleep at night.
What happened between us?
We used to be best friends.
We used to be a lot of things.
I miss you.
Yeah, well.
TV ANNOUNCER: Low in the dirt, ball two.
ANNOUNCER 2: Garrett just doesn't seem
to have his typical control today, Greg.
In fact, this is as wild as we've ever
seen this season.
That's right, Dave.
In fact, over the last three games,
he's only allowed three bases on balls,
not one of those runners ever scored.
Pretty remarkable indeed
as Neale steps back into the box—
Hey, dad.
One to nothing here in the third.
Garrett taking his time.
Here's the pitch.
Strike one.
Wicked cut.
Neale seemed fooled by that pitch.
In fact, in addition
to the split-fingered fastball...
Ready now with the
sign and the pitch. Fouled off.
Strike two.
Last year, Neale would've
been sending that pitch...
over to the next County.
- It's true.
[DOOR GENTLY CLICKS]
And the pitch.
Very high and very inside.
I don't know what it is.
I couldn't agree more, as the count
is full now at three and two.
Garrett settling himself,
looking at the sign.
Here's the windup.
There's a smash up the middle!
- They got him!
- Nice play at second. Wow, what a play.

I'm in the parade tomorrow.
Well, dad put me in charge of the store,
and I want you there by 10:00.

- Don't ask me that again!
He was dead, okay?
I saw him with... with these crabs.
You do it.
No, don't even...
he was there, goddamn it!
And he was wearing your jacket, Barry.
Well, where'd he go?
Did the crabs carry him away?
- I swear to God.
- I believe you, Julie.
He took the body.
He came and he took the body.
- Why would he do that?
- I don't know, Barry. Okay?
Why would he try to run you over?
Why did he make coleslaw on Helen's head?
He's fucking with us!
Come on, Julie.
Let's go back to the house.
Where's your jacket, Barry?
Don't you see?
He's got us now.
Okay, this is exactly what he wants.
We can't go to the police.
Not now. He's made sure of that.
He's just out there
and he's watching us and waiting.
What are you waiting for, huh?
What are you waiting for?
What are you doin' here?
Hey, I've been lookin' everywhere
for you guys.
You're gonna die.
[GRUNTS]
- Hey, stop it!
- What are you doin'?
- Stop it! Stop!
- I didn't do anything!
You're fuckin' lyin'.
He's lying!
Leave him alone, Barry. Get a grip.
No, wake up, Julie!
He's behind this.
How many fucked-up fishermen
are out there?
Look, he's after me too.
I got a letter.
Oh, you got a letter.
I got run over,
Helen gets her hair chopped off,
Julie gets a body in a trunk
and you get a letter?
That's balanced.
What body?
What are you talking about?
Drop the act.
You killed Max, you took my jacket.
- Max is dead?
- What is it with you, Ray?
You were doggin' us from the start,
weren't you?
Always wantin' to be our friend,
to be one of us
but you were too fuckin' jealous
to handle it.
- Look, fuck you!
- JULIE: Stop it!
Look, we have to stick together,
all right?
We have to help each other.
Okay, so if it's not fisher boy here,
who is it and how do we find him?
We think his name is Billy Blue.
How do you know that?
Missy said there was
a friend named Billy Blue.
Who probably went to school
with David Egan.
So, according to sis,
that would make him class of '92.
Elsa was class of '92.
Maybe there's something
in her yearbook.
RAY: That's him, huh?
It's hard to believe that's the guy.
Yeah, his face isn't splattered
all over the road, dumb ass.
Maybe Blue's not his real name.
That's right. I mean, he could've easily
lied to Missy. We did.
Maybe we should bring the
yearbook to Missy.
- If she had it in front of her...
- She could point him out.
I'm not goin' anywhere.
What... high school mug shots? What?
I'll go.
You've got that parade today.
- Forget it.
- No!
No, you need to be there
in case he shows up.
I don't want him to show up!
Look, Helen, this could be our chance.
Okay, we could catch him.
I'll go to Missy's.
Barry, go to the parade with Helen
and don't let her out of your sight.
- If he shows up—
- I'll pound his ass.
Listen to yourselves.
You sound like a bunch of vigilantes.
It's July 4th, Ray.
Okay? This is his day.
Whatever he has planned
is gonna happen today unless we stop him.
Look, come on, Julie.
Don't you see?
It's that moment where
we have to make a decision.
Let's make the right one this time.
I'm not interested in
what's right anymore, Ray.
I wanna do what's smart.
Then let's get the hell out of here.
We can leave town, disappear.
I've already disappeared.
Okay, now I want my life back.
Look, we have to face this.
What's it gonna be, Ray?

I need to talk to him.
I was thinking maybe you could
look through this yearbook.
What... what's this all about?
Well, it's too crazy to explain,
but it has to do with your
brother and last July 4th.
What about it?
What happened to your brother
wasn't an accident.
There's more to it than that.
- I know.
- You know what?
Well, he killed himself.
He what?
He, uh...
he went up there to die that night.
That's where Susie died.
See, the whole town
blamed him for her death.
So, he blamed himself.
But how do you know it was a suicide?
He left a note.
I had to keep this hidden from the
insurance company 'cause they wouldn't...
they wouldn't pay me the money,
you know, if it was suicide.
Uh...
yeah, that don't much matter
anymore because money's been spent.
That's it.
This isn't a suicide note.
This is a death threat.
What are you ta...
what are you talking about?
Your brother didn't kill himself, Missy.
I saw him. I was there
and whoever sent this was there too.
What do you mean,
where did you see him? Where?
He was crossing the road. We hit him.
- It was an accident.
- No!
- My brother drowned.
- I saw him.
He had "Susie" tattooed on his arm.
- He doesn't have a tattoo on his arm.
- I saw it on his right forearm.
You didn't see anything!
Get outta here.

No, he used scissors, asshole.
Look, okay, I know I sound delusional,
but it's true.
You know, I've heard this story before,
except the way I heard it
it wasn't a fisherman,
it was an escaped mental patient
and he had a hook for a hand.
Well, we're gonna have to
take the alley.
Look, you little shit-stick,

there's been a murder, and you're gonna
