Kalamity (2010) - full transcript
After a recent breakup, Billy returns to his hometown to find something is not quite right with his best friend.
I'm not old, but I
feel that way sometimes.
As you get older, you kind of
feel like the magic's gone,
and the world tends to get a
shade bluer with each year.
Some people are OK
with that progression,
take it as it comes.
They understand it.
Some people try to
move past it and evolve
with the passing years,
quietly submitting
and trying to look beyond.
Some people let it break them.
And when they're broke,
there's no fixing.
How was it?
Not good.
Are you sure?
I'm sure.
If there's anything
you need, I'll be
here just watching a little TV.
Thanks.
Hey, what's up
with your shirt?
What?
Get a different shirt on.
Since when did
you start paying
attention to what I wear?
I don't know.
Just, I notice those things.
Worry about your own
wardrobe, not mine.
Baby, remember on the bus
and my hand was on your knee.
When you love somebody, it's
hard to think about anything
but to breathe.
Baby, I am the cub who was
washed out in the flood.
When you love somebody,
bite your tongue.
All you get is a
mouthful of blood.
OK.
Hey, hey.
What's up.
Let's get the
hell out of here.
These lights are
making me feel mental.
Here, let me take that.
Thanks, man.
- You look like a piece of shit.
- Thanks.
I feel like a six pack at
a construction, saying.
Did you talk to your
bitch since you landed?
Don't start with this shit.
Did you?
She's not a bitch.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Did you talk to your
princess since you landed?
Yeah, I called
her before I left.
No answer.
Hey, what was that movie
we watched in high school,
you know?
Um, the fuck was that movie?
it was about... it had Mormons
and stunt cocks in it.
Oh, "Orgasmo."
Yes.
"Orgasmo."
You're like the bad guy in
"Orgasmo," Neutered Man.
Just a new Billy.
You know, it is
so nice to have
a sympathetic ear close by.
Stan, thank you.
Thank you for that.
Feel like going out later?
If Alice calls.
If she does, it'll kind
of set the bar, you know.
Billy.
- See you, man.
- Hey.
Thanks, see you.
Hey.
How was your flight?
Oh, it was an anxiety
attack from start to finish.
Barbie, how's Ken?
Billy, I told you,
that's not funny anymore.
Well, I always
think it's funny.
Here, let me get that.
The only reason I even notice
time is you guys, you kids.
Other than that, I don't
notice getting any older.
I don't know about
that, you guys are starting
to look like prunes to me.
Thanks, pal.
Prunes?
Well, not you, mom.
You look maybe a year
or two out of college.
Oh, good save.
Hey, with age comes wisdom.
Isn't he a knucklehead?
You are a knucklehead.
Isn't he?
I should answer
this real quick.
I'll be right back.
It's Alice,
Tom, let him take it.
Hey.
Hi, I saw you called.
Yeah, yeah, I did.
I just wanted to see how
you're doing, you know,
how you're feeling?
I'm good, there's
nothing to report.
Come on, Alice, I just need
to balance things out a bit.
And so moving out of the
state constitutes balance?
You know...
I just want to
see where I'm at.
Well, you're not here.
You know, I can't do this,
I can't talk like this.
You know, we just, we shouldn't,
I don't think we should talk.
Well, I need to, OK?
I need to right now.
Your voice it reminds
me that I'm breathing.
Stop.
It was in your hands.
OK, listen, we
can not talk for now.
We can... just please,
give it a chance,
give it a second, all right?
I'm not officially moved
out of the state yet.
I can come back.
OK, maybe if
you come back and then
we can talk in person.
But I told you before,
this whole phone thing,
I can't do it.
I just... it's just not me.
Shit, Billy, this
fucks up my whole week.
I've got school, and I just...
Alice, please,
please just hear me out.
Billy, are you OK?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I want a baby.
Just a little
time, when I'm 1,000.
You make me sound like
I'm going to lay a spider egg,
and we're going to
have them everywhere,
making webs on our bed,
crawling all over you,
saying, daddy, take care of me.
Well, maybe four
then, I could do four.
Four's doable.
You think you can handle
36 months of pregnancy?
Hmm, OK, maybe
two, I could do two.
So 18 months?
Yeah.
All right, off
your ass, baby mama.
I can feel you obsessing.
I can't stop.
You can, trust me, you can.
My memories have become like
answering machine messages,
just looping
repeatedly in my head.
I just play them over,
and over, and over again.
It sucks.
It's totally unintentional.
That's what it's like.
They split your skull, worm
their way into your brain,
making extraction impossible.
She's probably finger
fucking herself
knowing you can't
stop romanticizing
your time together.
This isn't helping, Stan.
I have to go the bathroom.
Well, it helps me.
What about me, huh?
I mean I don't fucking know.
It's what women are and
what they do, period.
She's a good girl at heart.
At heart?
She's selfish.
They're all selfish.
You told me she was
a selfish bitch.
They're all worthless.
What about Ashley?
Seriously, don't
say that name.
Why?
I said don't.
Hey, what the fuck, man.
Don't fucking touch
me, be an adult.
I mean it.
OK, I'm sorry.
Fuck, Stan, I'm just saying,
you know, people are people.
There's no one way to see them.
Everybody's got their
shit shuffled differently.
No, women run everything.
They do not.
Us, the world,
for every dictator,
there's a woman twisting the
life out of his helpless sack,
barking orders.
That's bullshit
and you know it.
Do I?
You do.
Women, you know, women can
make you feel like you're
not just a dot on the map.
I'd rather take
a Norwegian fist pie
than be emotionally
dependent again.
Is that like
an Abe Lincoln?
It's closer to a donkey punch.
It's when you're fucking a
girl and you pull out abrupt
because you're about to blow...
I think I've
heard enough of these
to know where this is going.
You think?
I know a girl,
that's for sure.
Oh, fuck.
What?
I pissed on my shoe.
I need to concentrate.
It's just like
heaven, being here with you.
You're like an angel,
too good to be true.
Simge...
And you two are
depressing to look at.
I broke up with my girlfriend.
Oh, how long?
Five years.
Sorry to hear that.
What's your excuse, Lite-Brite?
Fuck off, Simge.
No, I'm talking to Billy.
He has no interest
in speaking with you.
Stan, yes, I do, relax.
Well, I don't.
I can see Ashley has
been hard at work again.
What the fuck, man.
Is there something
in your tiny brain
that rejects my request
for you to leave.
Oh, it is Ashley.
Ashley did something to you.
That girl brings out
the worst every time.
I can see her in your eyes.
Simge, this isn't
the best time.
Take a hint, bitch.
You can't lump
all women together
because you're a doormat.
I'm not Ashley.
You have a slit
between your legs.
Stan, that's enough
And you're about to
have one too if you
don't shut your fucking mouth.
It's a fucking joke.
Is it?
You know,
work on your attitude
and then maybe I'll
accept your apology later.
I'll catch up with
you later, when you're
not with this cocksucker.
I'm going to
tell you right now,
this isn't working for me, OK?
I can't help how I am.
This isn't you.
It's me now.
Down to the bones, it's me now.
Well, it's making my
situation a whole lot harder.
That's the truth, Stan.
It's making it a lot harder.
OK.
I'll take you home.
I'll take you home.
Ooh, I do.
No one else will
love you like I do.
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Please let...
Seriously,
don't bring that up.
Don't.
Stupid bitch.
Jesus.
Like a
hostage tied in chains.
I could not forget your name.
Destroy she said my love again,
the end will come quickly.
Don't try again to make amends,
you'll just end up sinking.
If you explode in
aftermath, don't
think you've been dreaming.
Destroy she said my love again,
when it's not worth keeping.
Like a helicopter crash, Like
a ghetto that's been smashed.
Fuck, what?
I don't care, what you want?
It's 2:00 a.m., I'm drunk
and I'm not coming over.
You knew I went out.
That's why you're
calling about me.
No.
Why don't you go fuck
your little Menessa slut.
Yes, you did sleep with her.
Sarah told me that you
screwed her in the...
well, that's what Sarah
said, and I believe her.
You did not just say that.
You know what, I think my
phone's dying, I'm sorry,
uh, beep, beep, beep.
Bye-bye.
Why is this so much fun?
My feet are the
side of your head.
They're
dainty and graceful.
Didn't you know?
I did.
Come here.
- Hey.
- Hey, Stan called.
Yeah, what'd he say?
He said that he wants
you to stop by the store later,
said you need to talk, or
he needed to talk to you.
Yeah, he kind of caught
me off guard last night.
He was acting like
a royal asshole.
He said to say he's
sorry about that too.
Is there a reason he
didn't leave this on my cell?
He didn't say.
But he sounded kind of uneven.
He didn't joke around with
me like he usually does.
Just sounded like
a straight line.
Don't look at
me like that, Billy.
Like what?
You want even talk to me.
You don't even
know how to talk to me.
I dated you for five
fucking years, Alice.
I spent days and
nights quieting,
counseling, endless conflicts.
OK, I know how to talk to you.
So you've just given up?
I don't know what else to do.
Oh, shit, sorry.
Hey, Stan.
Knock.
What?
Knock next time.
Do we have any more
of the alpine 9987's?
No.
Shit.
It's just we got this
easy kill out here.
What do we have?
Sell him a Sony.
Oh, man, everybody
knows Sony makes shit.
So sell him a Sony.
Do you work here or
do you work here?
So, so, I think, I
think this looks good.
I mean Alpine, Alpine's,
Alpine's good, right?
I just talked to my
manager, he's been yanking
those bad boys out all month.
Well, I'm glad you
went, I'm glad you went
back there then, that's good.
No definitely, I
mean, I'm glad too.
Let me show you something else.
Ever since the last time I saw
Ashley, he's just been flat.
They've been
broken up for months.
Yeah, I know.
When he out with her, he didn't
give any details, he just left.
Did they fight?
I don't know.
I'm really sorry
to hear about what
happened between your girl.
You were up and out
of Ohio pretty fast.
Probably what I would do
if that happened to me.
Any women in you life?
My luck in that
department's minimal.
I just don't know what to say.
It's not about
what you say, man.
You need a change of wardrobe.
Well, my mom
sends me this stuff.
Tell her to stop.
Christian made
a pretty good sale.
I've taught him well.
I can see that.
So tell me something,
what is this shit?
What shit?
This shit, all this,
this whole attitude.
That did Ashley do to you?
What did I say about
mentioning her name?
Why can't I mention it?
I know her too, OK?
You dated her for
five goddamn years.
She's part of my
personal history too.
She's part of
history, which is where
I would like her to remain.
So I will ask you again,
please, don't mention her.
We're fucking friends, Stan.
You hear me?
We're friends.
I hear you.
So you can tell me if there's
something I need to know.
And I will tell you
if there is something
that you need to know.
- All right, fine.
Hey, like stop.
You know what, I can't even
fucking talk to you right now.
What if something
happened to Alice?
What did you say?
If something
happened to Alice.
Would you be heartbroken?
Or would you feel
forced to move on?
Are you out of your
motherfucking mind?
Just answer the question.
No, I'm not
going to answer it.
This is crazy.
She's in fucking school, Stan.
She's not in the Middle East.
Her environment is
more than sound.
She's fine.
I'm just trying
to lend a hand.
I came here because I thought
we could talk, like friends do.
I think... is the
Italian sub any good?
Do you like Italian subs?
Usually.
Then, yeah, it's good.
OK, I'll take that
and a medium drink.
Great.
And so the search begins
for a young woman of 24.
Her name is Ashley Detwiler.
And she has not been
seen for almost two days.
Sources say the last person
to see her with a coworker,
when she left her office
at the end of the day.
Angela Reynolds reporting,
Fairfax, Virginia.
So let me
get this straight,
you think that
you could actually
kill somebody in cold blood.
Is bird shit off-yellow?
No, you can't.
You are full of shit.
Probably.
You think in middle
school those Columbine
kids knew they were going to
massacre the student body?
I don't think so.
They were probably
just normal kids
who watched Power
Rangers and TV,
when they played
actual music, that is.
I know, right.
I mean, if someone isn't
born, and I'll insert opinion
saying I don't think
anyone is, but if someone
isn't born a killer, like
how do they reach that point?
You know, how does...
I mean, what happens, you know?
I don't know, a subconscious
rip, animalistic rage,
who really knows?
I just think if you can get
there, you get to that point,
you know?
Most people don't,
but if you do, you do.
Fuck, I don't know.
Let's set up some beer pong.
Teams?
Yeah.
I can't do this
right now, Alice.
Look, I may be mad or we may
not be talking, but I'm here,
I'm here to help if need me.
I'm just not so sure that
you're the most important
thing on my mind right now.
I mean, I care, obviously,
regardless of anything.
But I can barely move.
Call me.
I don't think...
Billy, call me.
Hey, you've reached Alice's
cell phone, leave me a message.
Alice, never mind.
I shouldn't have called
you right now, I'm sorry.
Oh, man, I
can't believe how bad
I railed that customer today.
A Sony.
That guy had no idea.
Well, you
learned from the best.
Yeah.
I will say, you're the best
salesman I've ever seen.
But you have to
admit, I'm all right.
Yeah, you're all right.
So what exactly were you
saying to Billy earlier.
You sure seemed to
have gotten him going.
I didn't get him going.
I mean, we were just
talking about you.
What'd you too hose bags
have to exchange about me?
What?
What kind of way is that
to refer to your friends.
We're your boys, Stan.
We talk because
we care about you.
You talk because you have
nothing else to talk about.
No, we don't.
If you want me to say it, fine,
I'll come right out and say it.
Where's your blue shirt?
My what?
The blue shirt
you wore see Ashley?
Just get in the
car, Christian.
No, there's got
to be a reason that you
don't want to talk about this.
Why?
Tell me this grand significance.
Why do I need a reason?
People
just don't change
clothes after they go out.
- It's weird.
- It's not.
Yes it is.
It's not.
It is not.
The blue wasn't cutting
it, so I went with black.
All right?
I keep an extra one
of my trunk in case
I want to go someplace
after hockey.
Is that OK with you?
- Yeah.
Is that a fucking
problem with you if I
change my shirt, Christian?
No.
Now, if you don't get
in the car right now,
we're going to have a
big fucking problem.
Are you listening to me?
Listen, I understand.
Just shut the fuck
up for one second.
OK?
I'm trying to say
something to you.
Now I'm going to give you
to five to get in the car.
What?
Stanley, man.
What's going on with you?
Did something happen
and you don't want me...
Your mother and I would were
watching the news.
Did you...
Yeah, I saw.
Earlier today, I saw.
Has Stanley seen her lately?
I don't know.
He doesn't really
want to talk about it.
Well, as you well know,
breakups involve a great deal
of pain and confusion.
Well, shit, though, look...
I've said it, my father
said it to me, if it's meant
to be, love will find a way.
And if it's not, there's
a half a world of women
out there waiting
for Billy Klepack.
Thanks, dad.
Of course, when my dad said
to me, he said Tommy Klepack.
But you know, all the same.
It's a real hard thing,
aligning yourself
with someone for the long run,
harder than one would think.
Get up.
Hey, get your ass up.
Christian, you OK?
Oh, stop hitting me, man.
Where's the store?
Off of Interstate 95
where it's always been.
I'm gonna grab a paper towel.
What is that, Palmolive?
Yes.
I have Bactine
in my room, dude.
My mom loves
the anti-bacteria,
let me clean your cut.
Be still.
What happened?
- Look at your shoelace.
No way.
There's no way I tripped
on my own shoelace.
Don' by so hard on yourself.
It's a common joke
because it happens.
You didn't take
me to the hospital.
That's an asshole move.
Do it yourself.
I'm the one cleaning a wound
in my head with dish soap.
I should be mad.
Yeah.
Hey, listen, why didn't
you tell me about Ashley?
I'm not telling
you again, friend.
Why, why is
she missing, Stan?
You know, two days after
you met her, she's missing?
What is that?
I'm going
to Vegas tomorrow.
Stan, did
you talk to her?
To the police?
To her family?
Vegas, or a
trade show, my job.
Oh, my god,
you're fucking making me
feel crazy here, Stan.
Do you think you're crazy?
No, I'm, I'm...
Like she might
have made you feel crazy?
No, Stan, you
are doing it, OK?
You won't tell me what happened,
how the conversation went,
how it concluded.
I don't give a Christ
fuck about your traveling
or any other bullshit
throw-away conversation
you want to bring up, OK?
I want to know what
happened to Ashley now.
Do you think you
might be projecting
your worries onto me?
I mean, you were quick
to come back here.
Maybe you were glad to be out.
Maybe you didn't love her.
No, I did
love Alice, Stan.
I loved Alice very much.
Maybe you didn't.
You sure jetted quick
when things got rocky.
You can damn well bet I
didn't do that with Ashley.
All right, dude, listen,
we all make rash decisions, OK?
Did you make one that
I should know about?
Did you?
Maybe.
I don't know.
Hi, there.
I have a flight leaving
in an hour and 45 minutes.
Can I get my ticket?
Yes, sir, of course.
Name, sir?
Stanley Harold Keller.
Here you go.
Just give me a minute
to look you up, Mr. Keller.
I can help you out.
Gladly.
So do some kind
of meeting in Cleveland?
Business or pleasure?
Oh, just assessing
a situation,
drawing conclusions,
weighing options.
Oh, you're
in insurance claims.
Oh, yeah, in certain respects.
Thank you.
Billy, hey, how goes it.
Sam, hey.
Needed a break from Ohio?
Oh, yeah, you know
Alice I, we broke up.
That's tough, man.
I was wondering
if you could tell
me when Stan might be back.
Well, that's a good
question, and I don't know.
What do you mean?
Well, he didn't
show up today.
He's in Vegas, though.
He is?
At the trade show.
That's news to me.
There's no trade show?
If there was,
I would be there.
And Stan would have
his tuckus parked,
right here, clipboard in hand.
Thanks.
Oh, hey, if you
hear from Christian,
tell him he's going
to be knee deep in it
if he doesn't give
me a call pronto.
Was he supposed
to work today?
Yeah, no call, no show.
Normally, he's
prompt, but not today.
Christian.
Jesus Christ, hey, Christian,
Christian, wake up.
Christian, wake up.
- Leave me alone, Stan.
No, wake up,
wake the fuck up, dude.
It's not Stan, it's Billy.
Look your goddamn pillow.
Hey, look at your pillow.
God, I feel like I'm
standing with my eyes closed.
With Stanley?
With everything,
with Stan, with Alice,
you know, just I'm fucked.
I just feel fucked.
We'll figure
things out with Stan.
But I really think
you should call Alice.
No, if I call her, can just
going to make things worse.
No, it won't.
Yes it will.
I me and I know that it will.
You can't compare
her situation
with what's going on with Stan.
They're different.
He just makes me feel
like I tripped up somewhere
along the way, you know?
Like, I don't want
to be like him.
I don't want to feel
what he's feeling.
You're not like Stan.
Yeah, I know that.
I know.
But hurt can affect
people in strange ways.
And I see Stan, and I'm
afraid of what I might become.
He can't even see five
feet in front of him now.
That's not you.
I love the guy, but
he's got tunnel vision.
I see is hurt, I feel
it, I understand it.
Where is he?
Where the fuck is he?
Somewhere I'm not sure
he can come back from.
Excuse me?
Yes.
- Hi, there.
- Hey.
I'm sort of lost.
I was wondering if I could
borrow you for a second.
Sure.
Well, I'm looking for
the psychology building.
I graduated about a
half a decade ago.
I just, I don't
know, it just seems
like everything has
changed and relocated
every couple of years.
What year did you graduate?
2002.
Did you have Grenier?
I think so.
Yeah, I kind of felt like I
was swimming in the wrong pond,
if you catch my drift.
I mean, I was younger and bar
life seemed more appealing.
Yeah, he definitely
sounds familiar though.
She, she sounds familiar.
Yeah, she.
You gonna help me out?
Or do your second year
psychology classes give you
some sort of heightened
awareness that prevents
you from pointing your finger?
Yeah, the
building's over there.
That wasn't so hard.
All right, man, I'm
going to grab Barbie,
I'll swing back by.
Sounds good.
Hey.
Vegas is warm.
How's the trade show?
Alpine's got some great
decks coming out next year.
I know you're
not in Vegas, Stan.
Do you?
I talked to Sam.
I say I am.
Sam's got to get
his head straight.
Sam's not the one you
need to worry about.
Is that so?
Yeah, it is, and when you get
back, we need to talk, Stan.
Well, I'll be back soon.
It's pretty
quite for a trade show.
What, are you outside?
Everyone needs to catch
a breath of fresh air.
Maybe you need one.
Quit talking
to me in code.
Communicate motherfucker.
Why I got to be
a motherfucker?
Because I care about my boys?
What are
you talking about?
My boys, you guys.
What happened to
Christian's head?
Am I a motherfucker
because I care?
I said what happened
to Christian's head.
Why am I spending my afternoons
getting Christian fucking
stitches, Stan?
He's getting stitches, fuck.
If you think I'm going to
believe that shoelace bullshit,
you are crazier than I thought.
Oh so now I'm a
motherfucker and I'm crazy.
Stan.
I think I'm going
to have to let you go.
Hey.
Hop in.
Billy, you're silly.
I can walk home.
Mom told
me to pick you up,
pooper, so I'm picking you up.
You look morose, Billy.
Morose?
Bigger vocabulary than I do.
Is that bi...
girl being mean to you?
No, it's not
always that simple.
What is it?
You can ramble
on about it, but do
you have some
cartoons or something
that you could catch up on?
I Tevo them anyway.
You wouldn't
understand this, OK?
You're in elementary school.
Mom and dad don't even
know how to use Tevo.
I do.
I don't know.
When you get older, after high
school and college, if you go,
you start to kind of have an
idea of how things need to be.
It's part age, and part
how you were raised.
But you want to feel like your
life is set, that your friends'
lives are set.
They're going to be happy.
And things don't turn
out the way you want.
They're just far
worse than you hoped
and then you feel like
your future is nonexistent.
And these dreams of
cookouts with your friends,
dinner parties,
they just fade away.
It's like a future
that was never there.
The fact is, by my age, you
start to see that people
are just really sad
and that there's
nothing you can do about it.
Is Stan sad?
What do you mean?
Mom says that his
ex-girlfriend is missing.
Did she...
I don't know, I
don't know about Stan.
Here let me take this in.
I can take it.
OK.
Hey, Barbie, let's
keep this conversation
brother-BARBIE, OK?
Yeah, OK.
No Ken either.
Ken's plastic, Billy, he
wouldn't understand English.
Silly me.
Hey, man, you ready to go?
Are you sure you don't
want to try and pick it?
You a locksmith?
No.
Neither am I.
Holy shit, Alice.
Stanley?
Oh, my god, it's been years.
Yeah.
Hi.
Yeah, it has, hi.
What are you doing
here on campus?
I don't...
Well, MB Court has
a base here in town.
I don't know that it is.
Speaking company, car audio,
yeah, so I'm just checking
out the new line, I guess.
Always on the move.
Did you travel alone, or,
did Billy come with you?
No, no, no, just me,
it's purely business.
So you mind if I asked
what happened with him?
Billy?
Yeah, yeah, fill me in.
Billy's not much of
a talker these days,
I guess you could say.
Let's just look around.
If you see anything
weird, just point it out.
We just weren't
aligned anymore.
He wanted to be a writer.
I was into politics.
Doesn't sound
like a deal breaker.
No, it wasn't.
I just felt like he wanted out.
So I initiated it.
Yeah, women usually do.
Huh?
Oh, nothing, it's
just, you know,
women kind of make the
first move, you know?
No, I just mean women
are more empowered
these days, which is good.
It's good, they're making the
moves that men used to make,
you know?
Yeah, I guess.
I just, I feel like you only
live once, you know, and I'm
always going to
love Billy, but I'm
not going to keep loving someone
who doesn't love me back.
I understand that.
I understand that.
So the books are closed
on old Billy Boy, huh?
Yeah.
I can't do it anymore.
I guess that's right.
He's got friends
like you, you know,
he's got good solid friends
that are there for him.
More than I can say.
God,
You're the hottest
woman on campus.
Hi This is Billy's
friend, Stan.
Awesome, it's totally
cool to meet you, bro.
Would you guys have any
interest in going on a hike?
Yeah, that sounds
rocking, man.
Yeah.
I don't have any, I mean, I
don't know anyone around here.
So, I figured,
you know, it might
be nice to see what
calming secluded
places this state has to offer.
Where are you staying?
The Holiday Inn.
Nice.
Yeah, man, we'll catch the
sunset from stellar ground.
Can you leave in an hour?
Oh, yeah, so...
Maybe, maybe he beat
the shit out her, you know.
He beat her up really bad.
Bad slap, he gets some
blood on his hand, you know.
It could be a number of things.
No.
I don't think so.
Maybe it's his blood.
Actually, she was, she was
feisty as hell, you know that.
Listen to
what you just said.
What?
Was, you
just that Ashley was.
And you know what he did.
All the denial aside,
we know what he did.
There has to be some
feasible explanation for this.
Yeah, there is Billy.
You just refuse
to acknowledge it.
Look at it.
Just take it.
Will you take it?
That's blood.
Yeah.
There's blood fingerprints
all over that photo.
I know, but it doesn't...
it doesn't
necessarily mean that.
No, listen to me, man.
I'm assuming whatever
happened that night,
Stan wasn't holding that
picture when it happened.
He was holding it afterwards.
And even after whatever
happened ,
enough blood remained for him
to stain an entire picture.
No fucking way,
he wouldn't do that.
He would not do that.
Stan loved her.
And since you saw
that news story, Billy,
you knew what he did.
Goddamn-it, you know.
There's no other out for this.
There's no other
explanation, Billy.
That's what it is.
Let's just, let's
just take a minute
No, here, are you aware...
Can we take a minute, please,
and just think for a second?
Hey, you ready to go?
Yeah, it's going to be
a little awkward, but, yeah,
let's just go.
Do you want
to get your phone?
Nah, it's
OK, let's just go.
Hi, you've reached
Alice's cell phone,
leave a message after
the tone and I'll
get back to you, thanks.
Hey, Haas, it's me.
I know you need some time.
I just, I really want to
talk to you right now.
You know, it doesn't
need to involve us.
I know there isn't an us,
I know that, you know.
I don't have anyone outside
of where I am to talk to,
and I don't know, I
don't know, maybe it
is, maybe it was about us.
If you could just
hear me out, you know.
If you can...
I just, I don't want to
lose you for good, you know.
I'm sorry, all right?
I am.
I'm, I'm really sorry.
If you could please
just call me back.
I'll be here, I'll be here.
OK.
We need to go
check out Mason's neck?
But how do you know?
Cause I know him.
When the water is coming
up the trail, it's great.
It's terrific.
Hey you, are you all right?
- Why?
- Look at your leg.
It's bleeding.
Oh, that?
That's nothing.
No, no, you're
really bleeding.
I'm a mountain man.
I used to play soccer too.
I don't even notice.
I'm fine.
Really, I have first
aid in the car.
Oh, I feel a little sick.
Mmm, it doesn't get any easier.
These, these permanent.
You'd think it would,
but it doesn't.
No, I'm OK.
Thanks.
Oh, fucking not!
It's fucking gone!
It's fucking gone!
God, fuck.
You sure this is
where they came.
I said no.
Yeah, but it's where
they could have come?
Yes.
Everybody has a place.
This was theirs.
Pull over right over here.
So where would it be?
Point it out.
I think it was
right in that opening up there.
Well, if not
now, never, right?
Yeah.
Oh, no.
- It's...
- Why?
What?
I can't do this
alone, Christian.
It's her.
It's her.
Oh, oh, god, it's her.
Go over there,
just talk to them.
You do it.
I'm not, I'm not...
I'm not going to go.
He's not going to go.
...feeling it right now.
- Christian, you do it.
- It's gotta be you, dude.
Man, I can't.
Just, just, open the door
for us, we'll come in there
and do the rest.
That's not going to happen.
There's no way
that's going to happen.
I can't, I can't
do it, because she's
been looking at you.
You think so?
I think so.
Wow.
Come one, you're
the best looking one.
Oh, shut up.
You got to go.
OK.
I can be your ground support,
but I'm no special ops man.
All right.
Ground support, I'm
fucking going in right now.
- Right, do it.
- I can do it.
Stop, don't make me laugh.
Hello...
Hello.
I'm Stan.
Kelly, nice to meet you, Stan.
Kelly, nice to meet you.
What would your name be?
I'm kind of a germaphobe.
I mean, if you know me,
it's different, but...
Oh yeah.
And last, but certainly
not least, we have...
Ashley.
Ashley, it's very
nice to meet you...
it's very nice to
meet you, Stan.
OK, excellent.
Me and my friends,
the guys over there,
we were just looking for
some nice young ladies
to keep us company.
You make us
sound like hookers.
Oh, no, I didn't...
I'm fucking with you.
I'm just fucking with you.
Yeah, no, I
mean, I could tell.
It's just... yeah.
So you game?
I make a wicked beer
pong partner, seriously.
Is that so?
Yeah.
Well, unfortunately, I
only play with my girls
as my teammates.
You ready to get squashed?
Oh, we'll have
to see about that.
OK.
Yeah.
You girls can really play.
I wasn't
lying to you, kid.
Wait, wait, how
old are you again?
19.
Yeah, well, I'm
20, and I say you can't
call me kid cause I'm older.
Is that so?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I always make the rules.
- Oh, do you now?
- Mm hmm.
Interesting.
The important rules.
Look, I don't know
who you think you are...
What do you mean?
But I don't know if that's
going to work for me, you know?
That, that works for me.
We have
to call the police.
We will.
I think
we should now.
We will, I promise.
I just don't
know what to think
even if I need to think.
Sometimes, things are
what they are, you know?
She had a ring.
It destroyed his entire world.
I don't think I could ever
kill anybody, especially
if it was someone
that I loved that
much, as much as he loved her.
I don't you know if
you can until it happens.
People don't plan
these things, killing
someone you care so much about.
Should I call
you when he gets back?
Yeah, if he gets home
in the next few hours
I guess, but I doubt he will.
I'm just going
to hit the couch.
Yeah, I know this is all
hard to process, you know.
My days
are gliding swiftly by.
And I, a pilgrim stranger, would
not detain them as they fly,
those hours of toil and danger.
For now we stand
on Jordan's strand,
our friends are passing over...
Lose something?
Stanley, when
did you get back?
An hour ago.
Oh, yeah, that's cool.
Why are you so nervous?
I'm not.
It's just I lost something,
something my grandma gave me.
A trinket from your grandma?
Yeah it was a
little necklace chain.
I bent over and it popped of.
How do you lose
a necklace chain
when you don't wear a necklace?
No, it was in my
pocket, I just got it.
Your grandma's been dead.
So if your grandma's been dead,
how did she manage to give
you a fucking necklace chain?
I don't, I don't know.
You're lying to your
best friend's face.
Please, Stanley, let me
call you some help, man.
No.
Stanley, I'm going
to call you some help.
No.
there's glory on the morrow.
For now we stand
on Jordan's strand,
our friends are passing over,
and just before the shining
shore, we may almost discover.
Christian.
Hey, no, no, no,
no, no. no, no...
Christian, fuck.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I don't...
Stop.
Billy?
Just stop.
Stop.
I didn't try.
You didn't try?
No, it just happened.
Seems like there's
been a lot of stuff
that's been just happening
lately with you, Stan.
It has.
What am I gonna do?
What do we do?
There's no way.
There's no way, OK?
There hasn't been one
since you killed Ashley.
All right, there Hasn't been one
since, since I got back here.
Fuck, Christian?
How could you, man?
I didn't want to.
I, I did, but I didn't
want to kill Ashley.
I loved her with
all of my heart.
This isn't doing
anything for me, Stan.
Just hear me out, Ashley,
that's all I'm asking.
This is our spot, and there
is no us, don't you understand?
Just come
with me, all right?
Come on.
This just isn't fair.
How?
This isn't fair to me.
What if John saw us here Stan?
Huh?
What if he saw us coming here?
I'll fucking kick his ass.
Now what
requires this backdrop?
Why drag me out here?
Don't be like that.
Be like what, you
dragged me out here.
Come on, Ashley, I'm trying
to extend myself a bit here.
It's a little late, friend.
Don't call me that.
Why, you're my friend
at best, Stanley,
and I'm not even sure
you can handle that.
I have something
that I want to ask you,
but I need you to
just hear me out, OK?
OK.
OK.
Oh, shit I left it in the car.
What, you left what the car?
Nothing, it's just...
Just give me a second.
I just, I got, I got
all mixed up, you know,
like my mind is all mixed up.
Don't justify.
There, on the table,
is an envelope.
Take it.
Stop, don't, don't
look inside of it.
I want to say something to you.
What?
I want to tell
you something, OK?
I want you to kill me.
I need to die.
I'm not going to kill you.
No, you don't understand.
I put that there so
you could have closure.
I did sick things.
Sick things, unforgivable,
which is why it's only fair
that you, that you kill me.
I felt like I was you.
I feel like I was you,
and I was protective.
I thought I was protecting you.
I thought...
What does this mean?
I told you, my heart, I
wanted to talk to you for you.
I thought, I thought, I
thought I could fix what...
What does this mean?
I'm sorry, Billy, I
didn't want to do it.
I saw the ring in her eye.
You saw the fucking
ring in her eye.
What the fuck does
that mean, huh?
She didn't love
you anymore, Billy.
I checked.
How did you check?
How did you fucking check?
Huh?
How did you check?
Stanley?
How did you fucking check?
She told me.
There's no way to
justify the decisions being lost
brings.
A single moment can unbalance.
A single choice can destroy.
But it's experience that
makes us who we are.
And how we process
pain that defines us.
It's just like
heaven, being here with you.
You're like an angel,
too good to be true.
But after all, I love you, I do.
Angel baby, my angel baby.
When you are near me,
my heart skips a beat.
I can hardly stand
on my own two feet.
Because I love you,
I love you, I do.
Angel baby, my angel baby.
Whoo hoo, I love
you, whoo hoo, I do.
No one could love you like I do.
Ooh, whoo-hoo-hoo.
Please never leave
me blue and alone.
If you ever go, I'm sure
you'll come back home.
Because I love you,
I love you, I do.
Angel baby, my angel baby.
Whoo hoo, I love
you, whoo hoo, I do.
No one could love you like I do.
whoo-hoo-hoo,
whoo-hoo-hoo, whoo-hoo-hoo.
Whoo-hoo-hoo, whoo
hoo, whoo-hoo-hoo.
feel that way sometimes.
As you get older, you kind of
feel like the magic's gone,
and the world tends to get a
shade bluer with each year.
Some people are OK
with that progression,
take it as it comes.
They understand it.
Some people try to
move past it and evolve
with the passing years,
quietly submitting
and trying to look beyond.
Some people let it break them.
And when they're broke,
there's no fixing.
How was it?
Not good.
Are you sure?
I'm sure.
If there's anything
you need, I'll be
here just watching a little TV.
Thanks.
Hey, what's up
with your shirt?
What?
Get a different shirt on.
Since when did
you start paying
attention to what I wear?
I don't know.
Just, I notice those things.
Worry about your own
wardrobe, not mine.
Baby, remember on the bus
and my hand was on your knee.
When you love somebody, it's
hard to think about anything
but to breathe.
Baby, I am the cub who was
washed out in the flood.
When you love somebody,
bite your tongue.
All you get is a
mouthful of blood.
OK.
Hey, hey.
What's up.
Let's get the
hell out of here.
These lights are
making me feel mental.
Here, let me take that.
Thanks, man.
- You look like a piece of shit.
- Thanks.
I feel like a six pack at
a construction, saying.
Did you talk to your
bitch since you landed?
Don't start with this shit.
Did you?
She's not a bitch.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Did you talk to your
princess since you landed?
Yeah, I called
her before I left.
No answer.
Hey, what was that movie
we watched in high school,
you know?
Um, the fuck was that movie?
it was about... it had Mormons
and stunt cocks in it.
Oh, "Orgasmo."
Yes.
"Orgasmo."
You're like the bad guy in
"Orgasmo," Neutered Man.
Just a new Billy.
You know, it is
so nice to have
a sympathetic ear close by.
Stan, thank you.
Thank you for that.
Feel like going out later?
If Alice calls.
If she does, it'll kind
of set the bar, you know.
Billy.
- See you, man.
- Hey.
Thanks, see you.
Hey.
How was your flight?
Oh, it was an anxiety
attack from start to finish.
Barbie, how's Ken?
Billy, I told you,
that's not funny anymore.
Well, I always
think it's funny.
Here, let me get that.
The only reason I even notice
time is you guys, you kids.
Other than that, I don't
notice getting any older.
I don't know about
that, you guys are starting
to look like prunes to me.
Thanks, pal.
Prunes?
Well, not you, mom.
You look maybe a year
or two out of college.
Oh, good save.
Hey, with age comes wisdom.
Isn't he a knucklehead?
You are a knucklehead.
Isn't he?
I should answer
this real quick.
I'll be right back.
It's Alice,
Tom, let him take it.
Hey.
Hi, I saw you called.
Yeah, yeah, I did.
I just wanted to see how
you're doing, you know,
how you're feeling?
I'm good, there's
nothing to report.
Come on, Alice, I just need
to balance things out a bit.
And so moving out of the
state constitutes balance?
You know...
I just want to
see where I'm at.
Well, you're not here.
You know, I can't do this,
I can't talk like this.
You know, we just, we shouldn't,
I don't think we should talk.
Well, I need to, OK?
I need to right now.
Your voice it reminds
me that I'm breathing.
Stop.
It was in your hands.
OK, listen, we
can not talk for now.
We can... just please,
give it a chance,
give it a second, all right?
I'm not officially moved
out of the state yet.
I can come back.
OK, maybe if
you come back and then
we can talk in person.
But I told you before,
this whole phone thing,
I can't do it.
I just... it's just not me.
Shit, Billy, this
fucks up my whole week.
I've got school, and I just...
Alice, please,
please just hear me out.
Billy, are you OK?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I want a baby.
Just a little
time, when I'm 1,000.
You make me sound like
I'm going to lay a spider egg,
and we're going to
have them everywhere,
making webs on our bed,
crawling all over you,
saying, daddy, take care of me.
Well, maybe four
then, I could do four.
Four's doable.
You think you can handle
36 months of pregnancy?
Hmm, OK, maybe
two, I could do two.
So 18 months?
Yeah.
All right, off
your ass, baby mama.
I can feel you obsessing.
I can't stop.
You can, trust me, you can.
My memories have become like
answering machine messages,
just looping
repeatedly in my head.
I just play them over,
and over, and over again.
It sucks.
It's totally unintentional.
That's what it's like.
They split your skull, worm
their way into your brain,
making extraction impossible.
She's probably finger
fucking herself
knowing you can't
stop romanticizing
your time together.
This isn't helping, Stan.
I have to go the bathroom.
Well, it helps me.
What about me, huh?
I mean I don't fucking know.
It's what women are and
what they do, period.
She's a good girl at heart.
At heart?
She's selfish.
They're all selfish.
You told me she was
a selfish bitch.
They're all worthless.
What about Ashley?
Seriously, don't
say that name.
Why?
I said don't.
Hey, what the fuck, man.
Don't fucking touch
me, be an adult.
I mean it.
OK, I'm sorry.
Fuck, Stan, I'm just saying,
you know, people are people.
There's no one way to see them.
Everybody's got their
shit shuffled differently.
No, women run everything.
They do not.
Us, the world,
for every dictator,
there's a woman twisting the
life out of his helpless sack,
barking orders.
That's bullshit
and you know it.
Do I?
You do.
Women, you know, women can
make you feel like you're
not just a dot on the map.
I'd rather take
a Norwegian fist pie
than be emotionally
dependent again.
Is that like
an Abe Lincoln?
It's closer to a donkey punch.
It's when you're fucking a
girl and you pull out abrupt
because you're about to blow...
I think I've
heard enough of these
to know where this is going.
You think?
I know a girl,
that's for sure.
Oh, fuck.
What?
I pissed on my shoe.
I need to concentrate.
It's just like
heaven, being here with you.
You're like an angel,
too good to be true.
Simge...
And you two are
depressing to look at.
I broke up with my girlfriend.
Oh, how long?
Five years.
Sorry to hear that.
What's your excuse, Lite-Brite?
Fuck off, Simge.
No, I'm talking to Billy.
He has no interest
in speaking with you.
Stan, yes, I do, relax.
Well, I don't.
I can see Ashley has
been hard at work again.
What the fuck, man.
Is there something
in your tiny brain
that rejects my request
for you to leave.
Oh, it is Ashley.
Ashley did something to you.
That girl brings out
the worst every time.
I can see her in your eyes.
Simge, this isn't
the best time.
Take a hint, bitch.
You can't lump
all women together
because you're a doormat.
I'm not Ashley.
You have a slit
between your legs.
Stan, that's enough
And you're about to
have one too if you
don't shut your fucking mouth.
It's a fucking joke.
Is it?
You know,
work on your attitude
and then maybe I'll
accept your apology later.
I'll catch up with
you later, when you're
not with this cocksucker.
I'm going to
tell you right now,
this isn't working for me, OK?
I can't help how I am.
This isn't you.
It's me now.
Down to the bones, it's me now.
Well, it's making my
situation a whole lot harder.
That's the truth, Stan.
It's making it a lot harder.
OK.
I'll take you home.
I'll take you home.
Ooh, I do.
No one else will
love you like I do.
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Please let...
Seriously,
don't bring that up.
Don't.
Stupid bitch.
Jesus.
Like a
hostage tied in chains.
I could not forget your name.
Destroy she said my love again,
the end will come quickly.
Don't try again to make amends,
you'll just end up sinking.
If you explode in
aftermath, don't
think you've been dreaming.
Destroy she said my love again,
when it's not worth keeping.
Like a helicopter crash, Like
a ghetto that's been smashed.
Fuck, what?
I don't care, what you want?
It's 2:00 a.m., I'm drunk
and I'm not coming over.
You knew I went out.
That's why you're
calling about me.
No.
Why don't you go fuck
your little Menessa slut.
Yes, you did sleep with her.
Sarah told me that you
screwed her in the...
well, that's what Sarah
said, and I believe her.
You did not just say that.
You know what, I think my
phone's dying, I'm sorry,
uh, beep, beep, beep.
Bye-bye.
Why is this so much fun?
My feet are the
side of your head.
They're
dainty and graceful.
Didn't you know?
I did.
Come here.
- Hey.
- Hey, Stan called.
Yeah, what'd he say?
He said that he wants
you to stop by the store later,
said you need to talk, or
he needed to talk to you.
Yeah, he kind of caught
me off guard last night.
He was acting like
a royal asshole.
He said to say he's
sorry about that too.
Is there a reason he
didn't leave this on my cell?
He didn't say.
But he sounded kind of uneven.
He didn't joke around with
me like he usually does.
Just sounded like
a straight line.
Don't look at
me like that, Billy.
Like what?
You want even talk to me.
You don't even
know how to talk to me.
I dated you for five
fucking years, Alice.
I spent days and
nights quieting,
counseling, endless conflicts.
OK, I know how to talk to you.
So you've just given up?
I don't know what else to do.
Oh, shit, sorry.
Hey, Stan.
Knock.
What?
Knock next time.
Do we have any more
of the alpine 9987's?
No.
Shit.
It's just we got this
easy kill out here.
What do we have?
Sell him a Sony.
Oh, man, everybody
knows Sony makes shit.
So sell him a Sony.
Do you work here or
do you work here?
So, so, I think, I
think this looks good.
I mean Alpine, Alpine's,
Alpine's good, right?
I just talked to my
manager, he's been yanking
those bad boys out all month.
Well, I'm glad you
went, I'm glad you went
back there then, that's good.
No definitely, I
mean, I'm glad too.
Let me show you something else.
Ever since the last time I saw
Ashley, he's just been flat.
They've been
broken up for months.
Yeah, I know.
When he out with her, he didn't
give any details, he just left.
Did they fight?
I don't know.
I'm really sorry
to hear about what
happened between your girl.
You were up and out
of Ohio pretty fast.
Probably what I would do
if that happened to me.
Any women in you life?
My luck in that
department's minimal.
I just don't know what to say.
It's not about
what you say, man.
You need a change of wardrobe.
Well, my mom
sends me this stuff.
Tell her to stop.
Christian made
a pretty good sale.
I've taught him well.
I can see that.
So tell me something,
what is this shit?
What shit?
This shit, all this,
this whole attitude.
That did Ashley do to you?
What did I say about
mentioning her name?
Why can't I mention it?
I know her too, OK?
You dated her for
five goddamn years.
She's part of my
personal history too.
She's part of
history, which is where
I would like her to remain.
So I will ask you again,
please, don't mention her.
We're fucking friends, Stan.
You hear me?
We're friends.
I hear you.
So you can tell me if there's
something I need to know.
And I will tell you
if there is something
that you need to know.
- All right, fine.
Hey, like stop.
You know what, I can't even
fucking talk to you right now.
What if something
happened to Alice?
What did you say?
If something
happened to Alice.
Would you be heartbroken?
Or would you feel
forced to move on?
Are you out of your
motherfucking mind?
Just answer the question.
No, I'm not
going to answer it.
This is crazy.
She's in fucking school, Stan.
She's not in the Middle East.
Her environment is
more than sound.
She's fine.
I'm just trying
to lend a hand.
I came here because I thought
we could talk, like friends do.
I think... is the
Italian sub any good?
Do you like Italian subs?
Usually.
Then, yeah, it's good.
OK, I'll take that
and a medium drink.
Great.
And so the search begins
for a young woman of 24.
Her name is Ashley Detwiler.
And she has not been
seen for almost two days.
Sources say the last person
to see her with a coworker,
when she left her office
at the end of the day.
Angela Reynolds reporting,
Fairfax, Virginia.
So let me
get this straight,
you think that
you could actually
kill somebody in cold blood.
Is bird shit off-yellow?
No, you can't.
You are full of shit.
Probably.
You think in middle
school those Columbine
kids knew they were going to
massacre the student body?
I don't think so.
They were probably
just normal kids
who watched Power
Rangers and TV,
when they played
actual music, that is.
I know, right.
I mean, if someone isn't
born, and I'll insert opinion
saying I don't think
anyone is, but if someone
isn't born a killer, like
how do they reach that point?
You know, how does...
I mean, what happens, you know?
I don't know, a subconscious
rip, animalistic rage,
who really knows?
I just think if you can get
there, you get to that point,
you know?
Most people don't,
but if you do, you do.
Fuck, I don't know.
Let's set up some beer pong.
Teams?
Yeah.
I can't do this
right now, Alice.
Look, I may be mad or we may
not be talking, but I'm here,
I'm here to help if need me.
I'm just not so sure that
you're the most important
thing on my mind right now.
I mean, I care, obviously,
regardless of anything.
But I can barely move.
Call me.
I don't think...
Billy, call me.
Hey, you've reached Alice's
cell phone, leave me a message.
Alice, never mind.
I shouldn't have called
you right now, I'm sorry.
Oh, man, I
can't believe how bad
I railed that customer today.
A Sony.
That guy had no idea.
Well, you
learned from the best.
Yeah.
I will say, you're the best
salesman I've ever seen.
But you have to
admit, I'm all right.
Yeah, you're all right.
So what exactly were you
saying to Billy earlier.
You sure seemed to
have gotten him going.
I didn't get him going.
I mean, we were just
talking about you.
What'd you too hose bags
have to exchange about me?
What?
What kind of way is that
to refer to your friends.
We're your boys, Stan.
We talk because
we care about you.
You talk because you have
nothing else to talk about.
No, we don't.
If you want me to say it, fine,
I'll come right out and say it.
Where's your blue shirt?
My what?
The blue shirt
you wore see Ashley?
Just get in the
car, Christian.
No, there's got
to be a reason that you
don't want to talk about this.
Why?
Tell me this grand significance.
Why do I need a reason?
People
just don't change
clothes after they go out.
- It's weird.
- It's not.
Yes it is.
It's not.
It is not.
The blue wasn't cutting
it, so I went with black.
All right?
I keep an extra one
of my trunk in case
I want to go someplace
after hockey.
Is that OK with you?
- Yeah.
Is that a fucking
problem with you if I
change my shirt, Christian?
No.
Now, if you don't get
in the car right now,
we're going to have a
big fucking problem.
Are you listening to me?
Listen, I understand.
Just shut the fuck
up for one second.
OK?
I'm trying to say
something to you.
Now I'm going to give you
to five to get in the car.
What?
Stanley, man.
What's going on with you?
Did something happen
and you don't want me...
Your mother and I would were
watching the news.
Did you...
Yeah, I saw.
Earlier today, I saw.
Has Stanley seen her lately?
I don't know.
He doesn't really
want to talk about it.
Well, as you well know,
breakups involve a great deal
of pain and confusion.
Well, shit, though, look...
I've said it, my father
said it to me, if it's meant
to be, love will find a way.
And if it's not, there's
a half a world of women
out there waiting
for Billy Klepack.
Thanks, dad.
Of course, when my dad said
to me, he said Tommy Klepack.
But you know, all the same.
It's a real hard thing,
aligning yourself
with someone for the long run,
harder than one would think.
Get up.
Hey, get your ass up.
Christian, you OK?
Oh, stop hitting me, man.
Where's the store?
Off of Interstate 95
where it's always been.
I'm gonna grab a paper towel.
What is that, Palmolive?
Yes.
I have Bactine
in my room, dude.
My mom loves
the anti-bacteria,
let me clean your cut.
Be still.
What happened?
- Look at your shoelace.
No way.
There's no way I tripped
on my own shoelace.
Don' by so hard on yourself.
It's a common joke
because it happens.
You didn't take
me to the hospital.
That's an asshole move.
Do it yourself.
I'm the one cleaning a wound
in my head with dish soap.
I should be mad.
Yeah.
Hey, listen, why didn't
you tell me about Ashley?
I'm not telling
you again, friend.
Why, why is
she missing, Stan?
You know, two days after
you met her, she's missing?
What is that?
I'm going
to Vegas tomorrow.
Stan, did
you talk to her?
To the police?
To her family?
Vegas, or a
trade show, my job.
Oh, my god,
you're fucking making me
feel crazy here, Stan.
Do you think you're crazy?
No, I'm, I'm...
Like she might
have made you feel crazy?
No, Stan, you
are doing it, OK?
You won't tell me what happened,
how the conversation went,
how it concluded.
I don't give a Christ
fuck about your traveling
or any other bullshit
throw-away conversation
you want to bring up, OK?
I want to know what
happened to Ashley now.
Do you think you
might be projecting
your worries onto me?
I mean, you were quick
to come back here.
Maybe you were glad to be out.
Maybe you didn't love her.
No, I did
love Alice, Stan.
I loved Alice very much.
Maybe you didn't.
You sure jetted quick
when things got rocky.
You can damn well bet I
didn't do that with Ashley.
All right, dude, listen,
we all make rash decisions, OK?
Did you make one that
I should know about?
Did you?
Maybe.
I don't know.
Hi, there.
I have a flight leaving
in an hour and 45 minutes.
Can I get my ticket?
Yes, sir, of course.
Name, sir?
Stanley Harold Keller.
Here you go.
Just give me a minute
to look you up, Mr. Keller.
I can help you out.
Gladly.
So do some kind
of meeting in Cleveland?
Business or pleasure?
Oh, just assessing
a situation,
drawing conclusions,
weighing options.
Oh, you're
in insurance claims.
Oh, yeah, in certain respects.
Thank you.
Billy, hey, how goes it.
Sam, hey.
Needed a break from Ohio?
Oh, yeah, you know
Alice I, we broke up.
That's tough, man.
I was wondering
if you could tell
me when Stan might be back.
Well, that's a good
question, and I don't know.
What do you mean?
Well, he didn't
show up today.
He's in Vegas, though.
He is?
At the trade show.
That's news to me.
There's no trade show?
If there was,
I would be there.
And Stan would have
his tuckus parked,
right here, clipboard in hand.
Thanks.
Oh, hey, if you
hear from Christian,
tell him he's going
to be knee deep in it
if he doesn't give
me a call pronto.
Was he supposed
to work today?
Yeah, no call, no show.
Normally, he's
prompt, but not today.
Christian.
Jesus Christ, hey, Christian,
Christian, wake up.
Christian, wake up.
- Leave me alone, Stan.
No, wake up,
wake the fuck up, dude.
It's not Stan, it's Billy.
Look your goddamn pillow.
Hey, look at your pillow.
God, I feel like I'm
standing with my eyes closed.
With Stanley?
With everything,
with Stan, with Alice,
you know, just I'm fucked.
I just feel fucked.
We'll figure
things out with Stan.
But I really think
you should call Alice.
No, if I call her, can just
going to make things worse.
No, it won't.
Yes it will.
I me and I know that it will.
You can't compare
her situation
with what's going on with Stan.
They're different.
He just makes me feel
like I tripped up somewhere
along the way, you know?
Like, I don't want
to be like him.
I don't want to feel
what he's feeling.
You're not like Stan.
Yeah, I know that.
I know.
But hurt can affect
people in strange ways.
And I see Stan, and I'm
afraid of what I might become.
He can't even see five
feet in front of him now.
That's not you.
I love the guy, but
he's got tunnel vision.
I see is hurt, I feel
it, I understand it.
Where is he?
Where the fuck is he?
Somewhere I'm not sure
he can come back from.
Excuse me?
Yes.
- Hi, there.
- Hey.
I'm sort of lost.
I was wondering if I could
borrow you for a second.
Sure.
Well, I'm looking for
the psychology building.
I graduated about a
half a decade ago.
I just, I don't
know, it just seems
like everything has
changed and relocated
every couple of years.
What year did you graduate?
2002.
Did you have Grenier?
I think so.
Yeah, I kind of felt like I
was swimming in the wrong pond,
if you catch my drift.
I mean, I was younger and bar
life seemed more appealing.
Yeah, he definitely
sounds familiar though.
She, she sounds familiar.
Yeah, she.
You gonna help me out?
Or do your second year
psychology classes give you
some sort of heightened
awareness that prevents
you from pointing your finger?
Yeah, the
building's over there.
That wasn't so hard.
All right, man, I'm
going to grab Barbie,
I'll swing back by.
Sounds good.
Hey.
Vegas is warm.
How's the trade show?
Alpine's got some great
decks coming out next year.
I know you're
not in Vegas, Stan.
Do you?
I talked to Sam.
I say I am.
Sam's got to get
his head straight.
Sam's not the one you
need to worry about.
Is that so?
Yeah, it is, and when you get
back, we need to talk, Stan.
Well, I'll be back soon.
It's pretty
quite for a trade show.
What, are you outside?
Everyone needs to catch
a breath of fresh air.
Maybe you need one.
Quit talking
to me in code.
Communicate motherfucker.
Why I got to be
a motherfucker?
Because I care about my boys?
What are
you talking about?
My boys, you guys.
What happened to
Christian's head?
Am I a motherfucker
because I care?
I said what happened
to Christian's head.
Why am I spending my afternoons
getting Christian fucking
stitches, Stan?
He's getting stitches, fuck.
If you think I'm going to
believe that shoelace bullshit,
you are crazier than I thought.
Oh so now I'm a
motherfucker and I'm crazy.
Stan.
I think I'm going
to have to let you go.
Hey.
Hop in.
Billy, you're silly.
I can walk home.
Mom told
me to pick you up,
pooper, so I'm picking you up.
You look morose, Billy.
Morose?
Bigger vocabulary than I do.
Is that bi...
girl being mean to you?
No, it's not
always that simple.
What is it?
You can ramble
on about it, but do
you have some
cartoons or something
that you could catch up on?
I Tevo them anyway.
You wouldn't
understand this, OK?
You're in elementary school.
Mom and dad don't even
know how to use Tevo.
I do.
I don't know.
When you get older, after high
school and college, if you go,
you start to kind of have an
idea of how things need to be.
It's part age, and part
how you were raised.
But you want to feel like your
life is set, that your friends'
lives are set.
They're going to be happy.
And things don't turn
out the way you want.
They're just far
worse than you hoped
and then you feel like
your future is nonexistent.
And these dreams of
cookouts with your friends,
dinner parties,
they just fade away.
It's like a future
that was never there.
The fact is, by my age, you
start to see that people
are just really sad
and that there's
nothing you can do about it.
Is Stan sad?
What do you mean?
Mom says that his
ex-girlfriend is missing.
Did she...
I don't know, I
don't know about Stan.
Here let me take this in.
I can take it.
OK.
Hey, Barbie, let's
keep this conversation
brother-BARBIE, OK?
Yeah, OK.
No Ken either.
Ken's plastic, Billy, he
wouldn't understand English.
Silly me.
Hey, man, you ready to go?
Are you sure you don't
want to try and pick it?
You a locksmith?
No.
Neither am I.
Holy shit, Alice.
Stanley?
Oh, my god, it's been years.
Yeah.
Hi.
Yeah, it has, hi.
What are you doing
here on campus?
I don't...
Well, MB Court has
a base here in town.
I don't know that it is.
Speaking company, car audio,
yeah, so I'm just checking
out the new line, I guess.
Always on the move.
Did you travel alone, or,
did Billy come with you?
No, no, no, just me,
it's purely business.
So you mind if I asked
what happened with him?
Billy?
Yeah, yeah, fill me in.
Billy's not much of
a talker these days,
I guess you could say.
Let's just look around.
If you see anything
weird, just point it out.
We just weren't
aligned anymore.
He wanted to be a writer.
I was into politics.
Doesn't sound
like a deal breaker.
No, it wasn't.
I just felt like he wanted out.
So I initiated it.
Yeah, women usually do.
Huh?
Oh, nothing, it's
just, you know,
women kind of make the
first move, you know?
No, I just mean women
are more empowered
these days, which is good.
It's good, they're making the
moves that men used to make,
you know?
Yeah, I guess.
I just, I feel like you only
live once, you know, and I'm
always going to
love Billy, but I'm
not going to keep loving someone
who doesn't love me back.
I understand that.
I understand that.
So the books are closed
on old Billy Boy, huh?
Yeah.
I can't do it anymore.
I guess that's right.
He's got friends
like you, you know,
he's got good solid friends
that are there for him.
More than I can say.
God,
You're the hottest
woman on campus.
Hi This is Billy's
friend, Stan.
Awesome, it's totally
cool to meet you, bro.
Would you guys have any
interest in going on a hike?
Yeah, that sounds
rocking, man.
Yeah.
I don't have any, I mean, I
don't know anyone around here.
So, I figured,
you know, it might
be nice to see what
calming secluded
places this state has to offer.
Where are you staying?
The Holiday Inn.
Nice.
Yeah, man, we'll catch the
sunset from stellar ground.
Can you leave in an hour?
Oh, yeah, so...
Maybe, maybe he beat
the shit out her, you know.
He beat her up really bad.
Bad slap, he gets some
blood on his hand, you know.
It could be a number of things.
No.
I don't think so.
Maybe it's his blood.
Actually, she was, she was
feisty as hell, you know that.
Listen to
what you just said.
What?
Was, you
just that Ashley was.
And you know what he did.
All the denial aside,
we know what he did.
There has to be some
feasible explanation for this.
Yeah, there is Billy.
You just refuse
to acknowledge it.
Look at it.
Just take it.
Will you take it?
That's blood.
Yeah.
There's blood fingerprints
all over that photo.
I know, but it doesn't...
it doesn't
necessarily mean that.
No, listen to me, man.
I'm assuming whatever
happened that night,
Stan wasn't holding that
picture when it happened.
He was holding it afterwards.
And even after whatever
happened ,
enough blood remained for him
to stain an entire picture.
No fucking way,
he wouldn't do that.
He would not do that.
Stan loved her.
And since you saw
that news story, Billy,
you knew what he did.
Goddamn-it, you know.
There's no other out for this.
There's no other
explanation, Billy.
That's what it is.
Let's just, let's
just take a minute
No, here, are you aware...
Can we take a minute, please,
and just think for a second?
Hey, you ready to go?
Yeah, it's going to be
a little awkward, but, yeah,
let's just go.
Do you want
to get your phone?
Nah, it's
OK, let's just go.
Hi, you've reached
Alice's cell phone,
leave a message after
the tone and I'll
get back to you, thanks.
Hey, Haas, it's me.
I know you need some time.
I just, I really want to
talk to you right now.
You know, it doesn't
need to involve us.
I know there isn't an us,
I know that, you know.
I don't have anyone outside
of where I am to talk to,
and I don't know, I
don't know, maybe it
is, maybe it was about us.
If you could just
hear me out, you know.
If you can...
I just, I don't want to
lose you for good, you know.
I'm sorry, all right?
I am.
I'm, I'm really sorry.
If you could please
just call me back.
I'll be here, I'll be here.
OK.
We need to go
check out Mason's neck?
But how do you know?
Cause I know him.
When the water is coming
up the trail, it's great.
It's terrific.
Hey you, are you all right?
- Why?
- Look at your leg.
It's bleeding.
Oh, that?
That's nothing.
No, no, you're
really bleeding.
I'm a mountain man.
I used to play soccer too.
I don't even notice.
I'm fine.
Really, I have first
aid in the car.
Oh, I feel a little sick.
Mmm, it doesn't get any easier.
These, these permanent.
You'd think it would,
but it doesn't.
No, I'm OK.
Thanks.
Oh, fucking not!
It's fucking gone!
It's fucking gone!
God, fuck.
You sure this is
where they came.
I said no.
Yeah, but it's where
they could have come?
Yes.
Everybody has a place.
This was theirs.
Pull over right over here.
So where would it be?
Point it out.
I think it was
right in that opening up there.
Well, if not
now, never, right?
Yeah.
Oh, no.
- It's...
- Why?
What?
I can't do this
alone, Christian.
It's her.
It's her.
Oh, oh, god, it's her.
Go over there,
just talk to them.
You do it.
I'm not, I'm not...
I'm not going to go.
He's not going to go.
...feeling it right now.
- Christian, you do it.
- It's gotta be you, dude.
Man, I can't.
Just, just, open the door
for us, we'll come in there
and do the rest.
That's not going to happen.
There's no way
that's going to happen.
I can't, I can't
do it, because she's
been looking at you.
You think so?
I think so.
Wow.
Come one, you're
the best looking one.
Oh, shut up.
You got to go.
OK.
I can be your ground support,
but I'm no special ops man.
All right.
Ground support, I'm
fucking going in right now.
- Right, do it.
- I can do it.
Stop, don't make me laugh.
Hello...
Hello.
I'm Stan.
Kelly, nice to meet you, Stan.
Kelly, nice to meet you.
What would your name be?
I'm kind of a germaphobe.
I mean, if you know me,
it's different, but...
Oh yeah.
And last, but certainly
not least, we have...
Ashley.
Ashley, it's very
nice to meet you...
it's very nice to
meet you, Stan.
OK, excellent.
Me and my friends,
the guys over there,
we were just looking for
some nice young ladies
to keep us company.
You make us
sound like hookers.
Oh, no, I didn't...
I'm fucking with you.
I'm just fucking with you.
Yeah, no, I
mean, I could tell.
It's just... yeah.
So you game?
I make a wicked beer
pong partner, seriously.
Is that so?
Yeah.
Well, unfortunately, I
only play with my girls
as my teammates.
You ready to get squashed?
Oh, we'll have
to see about that.
OK.
Yeah.
You girls can really play.
I wasn't
lying to you, kid.
Wait, wait, how
old are you again?
19.
Yeah, well, I'm
20, and I say you can't
call me kid cause I'm older.
Is that so?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I always make the rules.
- Oh, do you now?
- Mm hmm.
Interesting.
The important rules.
Look, I don't know
who you think you are...
What do you mean?
But I don't know if that's
going to work for me, you know?
That, that works for me.
We have
to call the police.
We will.
I think
we should now.
We will, I promise.
I just don't
know what to think
even if I need to think.
Sometimes, things are
what they are, you know?
She had a ring.
It destroyed his entire world.
I don't think I could ever
kill anybody, especially
if it was someone
that I loved that
much, as much as he loved her.
I don't you know if
you can until it happens.
People don't plan
these things, killing
someone you care so much about.
Should I call
you when he gets back?
Yeah, if he gets home
in the next few hours
I guess, but I doubt he will.
I'm just going
to hit the couch.
Yeah, I know this is all
hard to process, you know.
My days
are gliding swiftly by.
And I, a pilgrim stranger, would
not detain them as they fly,
those hours of toil and danger.
For now we stand
on Jordan's strand,
our friends are passing over...
Lose something?
Stanley, when
did you get back?
An hour ago.
Oh, yeah, that's cool.
Why are you so nervous?
I'm not.
It's just I lost something,
something my grandma gave me.
A trinket from your grandma?
Yeah it was a
little necklace chain.
I bent over and it popped of.
How do you lose
a necklace chain
when you don't wear a necklace?
No, it was in my
pocket, I just got it.
Your grandma's been dead.
So if your grandma's been dead,
how did she manage to give
you a fucking necklace chain?
I don't, I don't know.
You're lying to your
best friend's face.
Please, Stanley, let me
call you some help, man.
No.
Stanley, I'm going
to call you some help.
No.
there's glory on the morrow.
For now we stand
on Jordan's strand,
our friends are passing over,
and just before the shining
shore, we may almost discover.
Christian.
Hey, no, no, no,
no, no. no, no...
Christian, fuck.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I don't...
Stop.
Billy?
Just stop.
Stop.
I didn't try.
You didn't try?
No, it just happened.
Seems like there's
been a lot of stuff
that's been just happening
lately with you, Stan.
It has.
What am I gonna do?
What do we do?
There's no way.
There's no way, OK?
There hasn't been one
since you killed Ashley.
All right, there Hasn't been one
since, since I got back here.
Fuck, Christian?
How could you, man?
I didn't want to.
I, I did, but I didn't
want to kill Ashley.
I loved her with
all of my heart.
This isn't doing
anything for me, Stan.
Just hear me out, Ashley,
that's all I'm asking.
This is our spot, and there
is no us, don't you understand?
Just come
with me, all right?
Come on.
This just isn't fair.
How?
This isn't fair to me.
What if John saw us here Stan?
Huh?
What if he saw us coming here?
I'll fucking kick his ass.
Now what
requires this backdrop?
Why drag me out here?
Don't be like that.
Be like what, you
dragged me out here.
Come on, Ashley, I'm trying
to extend myself a bit here.
It's a little late, friend.
Don't call me that.
Why, you're my friend
at best, Stanley,
and I'm not even sure
you can handle that.
I have something
that I want to ask you,
but I need you to
just hear me out, OK?
OK.
OK.
Oh, shit I left it in the car.
What, you left what the car?
Nothing, it's just...
Just give me a second.
I just, I got, I got
all mixed up, you know,
like my mind is all mixed up.
Don't justify.
There, on the table,
is an envelope.
Take it.
Stop, don't, don't
look inside of it.
I want to say something to you.
What?
I want to tell
you something, OK?
I want you to kill me.
I need to die.
I'm not going to kill you.
No, you don't understand.
I put that there so
you could have closure.
I did sick things.
Sick things, unforgivable,
which is why it's only fair
that you, that you kill me.
I felt like I was you.
I feel like I was you,
and I was protective.
I thought I was protecting you.
I thought...
What does this mean?
I told you, my heart, I
wanted to talk to you for you.
I thought, I thought, I
thought I could fix what...
What does this mean?
I'm sorry, Billy, I
didn't want to do it.
I saw the ring in her eye.
You saw the fucking
ring in her eye.
What the fuck does
that mean, huh?
She didn't love
you anymore, Billy.
I checked.
How did you check?
How did you fucking check?
Huh?
How did you check?
Stanley?
How did you fucking check?
She told me.
There's no way to
justify the decisions being lost
brings.
A single moment can unbalance.
A single choice can destroy.
But it's experience that
makes us who we are.
And how we process
pain that defines us.
It's just like
heaven, being here with you.
You're like an angel,
too good to be true.
But after all, I love you, I do.
Angel baby, my angel baby.
When you are near me,
my heart skips a beat.
I can hardly stand
on my own two feet.
Because I love you,
I love you, I do.
Angel baby, my angel baby.
Whoo hoo, I love
you, whoo hoo, I do.
No one could love you like I do.
Ooh, whoo-hoo-hoo.
Please never leave
me blue and alone.
If you ever go, I'm sure
you'll come back home.
Because I love you,
I love you, I do.
Angel baby, my angel baby.
Whoo hoo, I love
you, whoo hoo, I do.
No one could love you like I do.
whoo-hoo-hoo,
whoo-hoo-hoo, whoo-hoo-hoo.
Whoo-hoo-hoo, whoo
hoo, whoo-hoo-hoo.
