Lying Eyes (1996) - full transcript

Yeah, come on, come on! Let's go!
Let's go! Let's go!

All right! Yeah! Whoo!

Timeout, Vikings.

So, he takes
me rollerblading.

And we're having an
awesome time, right?

But then, he introduces
me to his friend Ryan,

and my God, one look, and I'm
ready to dial 911.

Dana, you have got to
stop falling in love

with every guy you meet.

Who said anything about love?

Speaking of "to die for,"
I hear Justin Parker



asked you to the Coolio
concert, Saturday night.

I have to finish that college
admissions essay this weekend.

Wait a minute. You blew him off?

Justin Parker is only the
cutest guy in the whole school.

I mean, his dimples should
be registered as weapons.

Along with his
hormones and shoe-size IQ,

like all the other
dweebs our age.

So we mature faster than them,

doesn't mean we have to sit around
and wait for them to catch up.

My dad.

Reminding me I'm still
grounded for getting a tattoo.

Hey, you want to
come over tonight?

I better make an
appearance at home,

or my mom's going to
rent out my room.



Great!

Are you okay?

You mean, even though I'm
gonna lose my insurance

even though, for once,
it wasn't my fault?

Listen, I'm
really sorry about this.

I was talking to a client
on the phone, and...

I'm Derek Bradshaw. And you are?

Amy. Amy Miller.

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah, I guess.

Well, that's the most
important thing, right?

And about your insurance...

It's my mom's insurance.

I was going to say that I'd be happy
to have my garage fix your car.

Bill me directly, of course.
Really?

Hey, I figure it's
the least I can do.

That would be great, I
mean, if you don't mind.

Call my office.

My secretary will
handle all the details.

Law offices...

Maybe you'd rather see my
license and registration?

Sorry, I...

You know, you hear
all this stuff.

Well, it's hard to trust
people these days.

Yeah, exactly.

If you have any problem, don't
hesitate to call me directly, okay?

Thanks a lot, Mr. Bradshaw.

Derek.

And, again, I'm
sorry about this.

Yeah.

So, in this article,

we name the teacher who's
accused of the harassment.

We even have testimony
from two of the girls

who have allowed us
to use their names.

You seen my keys, Pumpkin?

But Mr. Stuart, the principal,

refuses to let us print it in
the school paper.

I mean, talk about censorship.

There's chicken in the fridge,

and don't wait up
for me, peaches.

I've got another sales
meeting tonight.

Mom, enough with the
"Peaches" and "Pumpkin."

I'm not a food group, okay?

Did you hear a
single word I said?

- House to show in 20 minutes.
- Love you.

We tuned her up, the clutch was
slipping a little, so we replaced it.

Whoa! The only thing that
needed replacing was a bumper.

Don't worry about it. It's
already been paid for.

And I put your old radio in the
trunk in case you still want it.

What's going on with the water pump.
Is it done yet?

Another two hours.

We got to stop bumping
into each other like this.

I hope those aren't
too old-fashioned.

I heard the one with Hootie and
the Breadfish is really hot.

It's Hootie
and the Blowfish.

Right!

I was just having my car
serviced over there, and...

This is incredibly generous.

I don't know what to say.

You don't have to say anything.

Or you could say yes to dinner
tonight at the bistro on Main.

Dinner?

I won a
very big case today.

The kind that you celebrate
with someone special.

And since I don't have
anybody in my life

that's special right now...

But you don't even know me.
I mean...

You don't know
anything about me.

What say I pick you
up around 8:00?

Okay. Why not?

You see, that wasn't so hard.

Actually, I may not
be home later,

so maybe it's better if I meet you.

Okay.

See, I'm leaning toward
NYU for next year.

They have this really great
dance therapy program.

So you can devote your life
to helping other people?

I really admire that.

Especially in someone who's
still in high school.

Does that bother you,
the high school part?

Not at all.

And what about you?

Does it bother you having
a 33-year-old lawyer,

feed you dessert?

Thirty-three, really?

I could have sworn you
weren't a day over 32.

Well, I think I can honestly say

that that was the most
incredible dinner I've ever had.

Yeah, I would have to agree.

And the food was good, too.

You know, I really don't
know how to thank you.

No, I should be thanking you.

Hey, you like stars?

Stars?

There's supposed to be incredibly
clear skies tomorrow night,

and I have a telescope over my beach house.
Thought if you were free...

God,
you're going to spoil me.

Hey, if you're lucky, I'll even
make you my famous lasagna.

How can I say no?

Good.

I'll call you tomorrow,
give you directions.

Okay.

I guess I better go.

Good night, Amy.

Good night.

Good night, Derek.

He quotes poetry, he
went to Stanford.

He's... Did I mention
he's got a beach house?

And he has a twin brother, right?

His name's Derek.
He's brilliant.

He's totally cool.

Dana, I'm freakin'!

Take it slow, Amy.

Hey, Dane, anytime
you wanna maybe

help me out over here,
that would be great.

Okay. My sister is such a pain.

You know, she was all set
to go away to college,

but then no, she had to
stay and go to state

just to make my life miserable.

Move.

Thank you.

So, how old's this guy, Amy?

Well, he's slightly
older than I usually...

What, what? 24, 25?

He's barely the other side of 30,
if you want to get technical.

No way!

But, hey, if you find someone
you can click with mentally,

and who also turns
you on, then...

Excuse me. A
30-something-year-old guy,

who's hitting on a
17-year-old girl?

18, as of last month.

And who said he was the one
doing the hitting?

You go, girl.

Didn't I tell you it would
be incredibly clear tonight?

It's amazing.

You never really get to
see this in the city.

Hey, you like surprises?

I love surprises.

Good. Come on.

Come on. Have a seat. What?

Derek, you didn't have to.

Go ahead. Open it.

Do you like it?

I don't know.

I mean, it's absolutely
gorgeous, but...

Why don't you try it on?

Wait.

Don't look.

Okay.

You look like an angel.

Come here.

Derek, maybe I
shouldn't be doing this.

We don't have to do
anything you don't want to.

I could just hold you.
That's all.

Amy?

Do you know what time it is?

Didn't you get my note?

I went to a party with Dana.

Till 3:00 in the morning?

I'm sorry.

I had to drive some kids home,
and I got totally lost.

Honey, I know it's
your senior year, but

how can you stay out like
this on a school night

and still keep up your grades?

It's just this one time, Mom.

Well, next time pick
up a phone, okay?

Otherwise, I worry.

Okay.

Go back to sleep.

1759, Fort
Niagara, Ticonderoga,

Crown Point in Quebec fall
to victorious British.

And in 1763, The Treaty of Paris
ends the French-Indian wars.

French rivalry...

Listen, a bunch of the guys are going
to get together after practice.

I can't make practice today.

What do you mean "can't"?

So, is this where you bring
all your other girlfriends?

As if you didn't
know that you're the only one.

You are so beautiful, so sexy.

I am not! You
don't even know it.

Which makes you all the more.

Come here, come
here, come here.

No. What?

I have to be home by 10:00.

My mom, you know?

But this Saturday, I can stay over,
and I can say I'm at Dana's.

I'm not free most weekends.
Pro Bono case.

I don't think I can get
away till next Tuesday.

So I have to wait five whole
days to see you again?

I'll be thinking of
you the whole time.

Which reminds me...

So you know that I'm not
bringing anybody else here.

And feel free to bring your
friends anytime you want, okay?

You are so sweet. You know that?

Yes, I do.

Five, six, seven, eight.

And one, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight.

Work it, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight.

Okay. Let's try this again.

Where's Dana?

Probably off flirting
with some guy, as usual.

New earrings?

Yeah, they were a gift.

And that cool leather jacket you were
wearing today, that a gift, too?

Dana, if you want to say
something, just say it.

Look, all I know is that
you're seeing some older guy

who buys you expensive gifts...

Look, it's not like that, okay?

Okay, fine.

So what is it like?

I really care about him,
and he cares about me.

And just because he's
incredibly generous...

Amy, I hardly see you anymore.

I mean, newsflash, I am
your best friend, remember?

My God!

Amy, your new jacket!

Why did you just ask
me about this?

Come on!

You can't honestly think I had
something to do with this!

Then who did?

How the hell should I know?

I mean, unless...

What?

There was some lady asking about
you, before practice, today.

What lady? Asking what?

What classes you take, where you hang out.
Stuff like that.

She was pretty.
She had red hair.

I don't think she was a teacher.
I've never seen her.

Dana, why didn't you
tell me this before?

Excuse me! I forgot, okay?

I'm sorry.

I can't believe this.

When you think about it,

everything we do is for women.

The clothes we wear,
the car we drive.

That's why there's no
greater aphrodisiac

than when you feel
a beautiful woman

wrap herself around
your little finger.

Hey, check that out.

That...

Is my date.

You like them young?
You're a lucky guy.

Yeah, I am.

I was so right to
buy you this dress.

Every eye in this
place is on you.

I missed you. Don't worry.

I'll have weekends free soon.

Maybe I'll take you up the coast.
Come on.

Amy, are you with me?

Just thinking about
something that happened today.

Tell me.

No, it's not important, really.

Speaking of things
happening today,

I saw something with
your name on it.

Derek, you can't
keep doing this!

I've never given you anything.

No, you're wrong, Amy.

Just being with you is
the best present in the world.

You are something else.

Does that mean you like it?

Well, if you didn't have to
go back to work tonight,

I'd show you how much.

Daddy! Daddy's home!

Yeah, daddy's home.

You're so big.
You know that?

Hey, how you doing guys?
You have a good day today?

Good.

Sorry I'm late, darling.

Another one of those
stupid client dinners.

Come on.

So, did you
guys miss me today?

Yeah. Daddy sure missed you.

Mom, you scared me!

I thought you were
working late tonight.

Amy, honey, I need
to talk to you.

Mom, there's a sleepover at Dana's,
remember? I'm already late...

I found this in the mailbox.

No.

Not again.

What do
you mean "again"?

Don't tell me you
know who did this.

No, what I meant was...

Is this someone at school, honey?
Something happened?

Mom, please.

It's just a stupid prank, okay?

The other cheerleaders
and their parents

have been getting
the same things.

It's probably some dateless
wonder with a pom-pom fetish.

Look, I'm an hour late.
I'm going to take this,

put it in the trash
where it belongs.

Well, at least they
got your sizes right.

It's too creepy.

I think you should
go to the cops.

Really? Yeah.

Bummer.

Cops? No, the popcorn.

I left it in the microwave.

I'll get it.

Let me guess.

My boy-crazy sister is going
on about her latest obsession.

Thanks for the save. Sure.

So, what's new? How's it
going with Mr. Dreamboat?

It's great. It's
better than great.

It's off the chart.

So, how
do you really feel?

Well, it's kind of weird, though.
Ever since I met him,

someone's been trying
to play with my head.

What do you mean?

Well, like, my locker
gets trashed at school.

Then, my mom gets this
creepy package in the mail.

I mean, why would someone
do stuff like that?

Well, obviously, someone's
just jealous of you,

or the attention you're giving this guy.
Who do you think it could be?

I don't know.

Well, what does
your boyfriend say?

I haven't told him.

Well, I'm sure it
will work itself out.

Wow, this was different.

What do you mean?

Well, if I were talking
to Dana about this,

she'd go on about how
dumb and naive I am.

And my mom... My mom would skip
right to nuclear alert, you know.

I guess it's just really
nice to hear someone

just being supportive for once.

Well, anytime.

I mean, I am not the greatest
when it comes to advice,

but whenever you need to talk...

Thanks, Jen. I really
appreciate that.

Sure.

Do you appreciate it enough to
let me borrow that nightshirt?

I'll think about it.

Supposedly, Cindy's going
out with Evan, right?

But according to Tina, Evan paged
her brother at, like, 2:00 a.m.,

and left Suzy Baron's number.

If anyone asks, I
went home sick.

Excuse me? And if my
mom calls you tonight,

tell her I fell asleep
helping you with a test,

and you don't want
to wake me up.

But, Amy, it's not
this guy again, is it?

Yeah.

For you. Thank you.

My dad took us to a
little place like this once...

Before he left my mom for
one of his psych students.

After that, I didn't
see him much.

He taught psychology.
Isn't that perfect?

Anyway, that was a
million years ago.

Derek?

Go, Vikings!

Come on, guys! Whoo.

Whoa! Dana!

Amy. Um, I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Amy, it was just an accident.

Come on. Let's get going.

Shouldn't take too
long to repair it.

For the record, do you know the
name it was purchased under?

Bradshaw. Derek Bradshaw.

Here it is, Bradshaw.

Two deluxe women's
tennis bracelets.

Two?

Well, according to this,

one was picked up at
the point of purchase,

the other delivered.

Delivered where?

I'm sorry, Miss, I can't...

Of course. I understand.

If you'll wait here, this
will just take a minute.

One moment, Miss.

You did say a safety
clasp, didn't you?

I changed my mind.
Just keep it, okay?

Good one.

Having fun? Can I join? Yeah.

Whoa!

Let me get this straight.

Mr. Delaney, you say that
you started feeling pain

about a week after the accident,

yet you didn't file for
workman's comp until...

Mr. Bradshaw,
there's someone here to see you.

Not now, Mary.

It's a Miss Miller, sir.

She says it concerns your wife.

Excuse me, gentlemen.
This shouldn't take long.

Amy...

You rotten liar.

I can explain.

Explain what?

That you're married?
That you have a family?

That the whole time you were
sleeping with me, lying to me.

They weren't lies.

I meant every word.

When I saw your wife, your kids...
God, I feel sick.

Amy, listen to me.

My marriage is over.

It's been over for a long time.

Why should I believe you?

I couldn't tell you because I was
afraid that I would lose you.

I was afraid that you
wouldn't understand.

Amy,
I'm in love with you.

I'm leaving my wife.

That's right, I am. For you.

That's why you gave us the
same bracelet, right?

My secretary did that.
It was a stupid mistake.

You have an answer
for everything.

Now, okay, okay. Listen, I know that
you're angry with me right now,

and you've got
every right to be.

But... Get out of my way!

I was planning to tell
you everything tonight.

Do you know how rare
it is, what we have?

I never thought I
could have this,

not until you came into my life.

So I'm begging you, Amy. Please,

please don't throw this away.

But I can't go out
with a married man.

Of course you can't.

And that's why I'm asking you
for just a little more time,

just so that I can tie
up a few loose ends.

And your kids?

I love my
children very much,

and they will always
be cared for, always.

Just like I'll
always care for you.

Come on.

All I need is some
time, that's all.

Just some time to make sure that
everything is okay for both of us.

Yes, I see.

Of course. I understand.

Hey, Mom.

Well, thank you for calling.

Goodbye.

Another meeting, right?

I know. There's chicken
in the fridge.

That was Mrs. Adams,
your guidance counselor.

She wanted to know why
you've been missing classes

for the last couple weeks.

What? Just a minute, young lady.

While you're explaining,
perhaps you'll also tell me

where you've been
since last night.

Come on, Mom.

I left you a voice
mail yesterday

saying I was staying
over at Dana's.

Dana's again?

Yeah!

And then after school,
we went to the beach.

What's the big deal?

The big deal is I
called Dana's house,

and her mother said
you were never there.

Are you checking up on me now?

Amy, this isn't like you.

Who are you hanging out with?
I don't believe this.

I mean, you're skipping school.

You're staying out
until all hours.

That's it. You're grounded.

Grounded? Yes.

How are you going to ground me?

You're hardly ever even here,

you're so wrapped up
in your stupid job.

That "stupid job" pays
the bills around here.

That "stupid job" pays for
the rent on this house.

It pays for our food.

Ever since your father
left us, remember?

He left you, not me.

And maybe if you hadn't driven him
away with your needy guilt trips...

I
am your mother.

And don't you ever talk
to me like that again!

Do you understand?

Derek... What are
you doing here?

It's nice to see you again.

Amy, isn't it?

Right.

Darling, this is that
student I told you about,

the one I had the
little accident with.

Pleased to meet you, Amy.

I'm sorry that you had
to meet my husband

under such unpleasant
circumstances.

Yeah, me too.

I just came in to order
some takeout, so...

Perhaps you'd care to
join us for dinner.

No, that's okay. It's
really nice of you, but...

Then at least sit with us while
you're waiting for your food.

Elizabeth, I'm sure...

You see, when our
children are older,

they're going to go to the
same high school as you,

and I'd love to hear
your thoughts about it.

My husband did say you're
still in Franklin High?

Well, yes, but...

Wonderful. Make that
table for three, please.

Yes, Ma'am.

When we first met, Derek was
only an associate in my father's law firm.

More coffee, Amy?

No thanks, Mrs. Bradshaw.

Elizabeth.
Call me Elizabeth.

Elizabeth.

Anyway, I think I was
dropping something off

for Daddy, or...

Well, you know how it is when you
finally meet the right person.

High school, sweetheart.

You said you wanted to
talk about high school.

Derek specializes in divorce.

Did you know that, Amy?

I don't
believe in divorce.

Or what it does to children.

You understand that,
don't you, Amy?

Yeah, I think my order should be ready
by now, but thanks for the coffee.

It was great talking to you.
Bye.

Bye. Bye.

The way she looked at me with
her husband right there.

If that was me, I probably would
have passed out or something.

I have this feeling that
she knows, you know?

Like maybe she's the one
who trashed my locker.

I think you should drop this
guy like a ton of bricks.

Come on, Jen.

He's practically twice your age,

and he's married.

He told me he's
leaving his wife.

Well, obviously, he hasn't said
a word to her about divorce.

Well, it doesn't mean
he's not going to.

He will, when the time is right.

And that's why you came
here, to tell me, right?

Because you thought if you actually said
it out loud, you might convince yourself?

Jen, I really love him.

I know how it feels, but there
is no future with this guy.

Yeah, it sounds
easy, but it's not.

I've been there. Who hasn't?

But you'll be going off to
school in a few months.

I don't know.

What is that supposed to mean?

You're not actually thinking of
giving up college for this guy?

I don't know.

God, why is it so hard?

Because guys make it that way...

If you let them.

Come on.

No message? You sure, Marge?

Okay. I'll give them
a few more minutes.

Hi. Hi.

Your office said I
could find you here.

Weird old place.

Anybody live here?

A couple in their 80s did.

They died. Their kids wanted
it on the market right away.

Mom, I've been
thinking about the other day.

You know, all the stuff I
said about you and Dad.

And I guess that
I was just feeling...

I know.

I just wanted to say
that I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, too.

I've always been able
to trust you, Amy.

I just want to keep it
that way, you know?

Yeah.

I was supposed to show this place
to a couple a half-hour ago.

Now I'm going to be late for an
appointment on the other side of town.

Well, I can wait for them.

That's sweet, but...

No, just give me the keys. I've
seen you lock up enough times.

You sure? Yeah!

Go on, get out of here.

I love you, honey.
I love you, too.

Hello?

Is someone up there?

Get a grip, Miller.

Sorry. We're late.

Over here!

Okay, pop quiz.

"The type of guy who
really rates with you will

"A. Rent videos and crash
with you on the couch.

"B. Work out at the gym
as much as you do.

"Or C. Be super sweet and
nice to your friends?"

Definitely not "C."

Why? What's wrong with a guy
being nice to your friends?

Nothing, if he's
sincere about it.

But not if he's showing off.

Like how?

Like inviting your friends to use his
beach house whenever they want to.

What's that supposed to mean?

Amy...

Shut up, Dana. I asked
her a question.

Come on, Miller. It's not
like it isn't obvious.

Yeah?
What's so obvious?

Amy, just ignore her.

She doesn't know what
it's like to date a guy

who's actually nice
to his girlfriend.

Amy isn't this guy's girlfriend.

She's his mistress.

You don't know what
you're talking about.

It looks like we're low on chips.
Does anybody need anything?

No, we're fine.

Christie, you are such a pig.

You look absolutely
incredible tonight.

Look, what do you say
we get out of here?

We just got here.

So?

So, I got grounded, and
I had to lie to my mom

for the millionth time
just to get here.

Amy. Derek.

Hey, all I said was that
you looked incredible.

Derek, where were
you this weekend?

I'm sorry? And while
we're on the subject,

why do we always get
together when you want?

And why do you take me to
these out-of-the-way places,

where you won't bump
into any of your friends

or people you work with?

What are you trying to say?

What I'm saying is that, this
doesn't feel like a relationship.

It feels more like
I'm your mistress.

That's really what
I am, isn't it?

Come on, admit it.

You have no intention of leaving your wife.
Why would you?

This way, you get
to have us both.

Look, I have two
children to think about.

You said you'd always
take care of them.

You said... Amy, could we
talk about this later?

It's over, Derek.

No more. I really
mean it this time.

Are you sure you're okay?

Christie and the
others are gone, so...

I'll be home,

so call me and let
me know you're okay.

Dana, are you out there?

Somebody help!

Somebody please help me!

Somebody help me!

Help!

I need help!

Is anybody out there?

Help me!

Help! Help!

Please!

Help me!

Let go of me!

Let go!

Amy, it's me.

The door... I heard
you screaming.

What are you doing here?

I got tired of talking to
your answering machine. So...

So you come looking for me
in the girls' locker room?

You expect me to believe that?

Your car was the only
one in the parking lot.

The janitor said that you finished
practice a while ago. I was worried.

And then I heard you scream.

And you show up just
in the nick of time.

Amy, come on.

Don't touch me!

Why would I hurt you?

You're the most important
thing in my life.

Look, we already
talked about this.

This isn't about words.

It's about caring.

If you really care about
me, then leave me alone.

You need some space. Okay.

But that doesn't change the fact

that we're still in
love with each other.

Dinner's almost ready.

I'm afraid it's chicken again.

That's fine.

I meant to get to the store...

That's fine, Mom.

You know, I remember
when your dad left,

and I was so hurt and angry.

Let me tell you about angry.

And yet, I... I hid it inside

because I thought
if you saw that,

I'd lose you, too.

You'd tell me you
wanted to live with...

And then one day, we were

driving back home from one
of your ballet classes,

you must have been
seven or eight.

And you said,

"Are you all right, Mommy?"

And for some crazy
reason, I told you.

I told you how lonely I
was and how afraid and

I will never forget
what you said.

You said, "I'm scared,
too, Mommy, but

"isn't it better being
scared together?"

God. I said that?

I was smart?

You still are.

Look, I just wanted to say that

whatever it is that's
eating you up, Amy, I

wish you could just tell me.

Talk to me about it.

Thanks.

But everything's fine.

Is it possible that he was being
straight with you, about being there,

that maybe the door was
just jammed or something?

Well, anything's
possible, I guess.

In which case, he's
just a lovesick guy

who doesn't like being dumped
and probably saved your life.

Back so soon?
What, no guys at the mall?

No, the way I feel right now, I'd be
happy if I never saw another guy again.

Something happen with that
Dan guy you were seeing?

Derek.

Jen, you were right.
It was a big mistake.

The good news is I
told him it's over.

The bad news is he
doesn't believe me.

Well, since when is breaking
up multiple choice?

She thinks he might
be stalking her,

maybe even locked her
in the sauna at school.

Is that true?

I don't know.

I don't know what that
word means anymore.

Well look, if you want him to
get the message loud and clear,

you can always use
the direct approach.

What's that?

It's simple. Just tell his wife.

Sure. Right.

I'll just walk up to her
and say, "Hi, I'm Amy.

"By the way, I've been
sleeping with your husband."

Well, no, I'm sure
it won't be easy,

but I think it'll definitely
solve the problem.

Jen's right, Amy.

If it turns out that it's his wife
that's doing all that other creepy stuff

she already knows anyway and

it'll give her a reason not
to harass you anymore.

It'll kill two birds
with one stone.

Hi. Hi there.

Honey, who is it?

Hi, Elizabeth...

Mrs. Bradshaw, I don't
know if you remember me...

Sure, at the restaurant last week.
Amy, right?

Yeah. Look, if this
is a bad time...

Not at all. Honey, go tell
Andy to get ready for soccer.

They're my whole
life, those kids.

Would you like to come in?

No, that's okay.
I just wanted...

Yes?

Well, what I mean is, I
came to tell you that...

What are you trying to say, Amy?

That I really enjoyed our
conversation the other night and

you know, if you ever want to talk
about high school, like you said...

High school?

Right. Well, I can see
you're really busy,

so I... I'm just going to go.

You're in love with
him, aren't you?

Pardon?

That's the real
reason you came here,

to tell me that you're
having an affair with Derek

and that you have no
intention of letting him go.

No, that's not true.

You deny having sex
with my husband?

Mrs. Bradshaw... Do you have
any idea what it feels like

to watch your family, your whole life
be destroyed by some teenage slut?

Look, you
have got this all wrong.

If you have any
decency left in you,

you'll leave him alone.

Leave us alone.

That is so funny.

Can I offer you
some more coffee?

Here's my daughter now.

Amy, this is...

Derek Bradshaw. Nice
to meet you, Amy.

Mr. Bradshaw... Excuse me. Derek,
is interested in the Rice house.

Your mother's been telling
me all about you, Amy.

I feel like I
practically know you.

Honey, is something wrong?

Well, I think I've taken
up enough of your time.

Don't be silly. The
pleasure's all mine.

It was nice meeting you, Amy.

Perhaps we'll see each
other again sometime.

Um, Mom, I forgot
something in my car.

I'll walk you out.

What the hell do you
think you're doing?

Attractive woman, your mother.

Actually, I can see where
you get that fine figure.

You stay the hell
away from my mother.

If you'd just stop playing
these silly games.

Derek, I told you... it is finished.
It's over.

I cannot believe
that you're willing

to throw something
this special away.

Let go of me.

You think this is easy for me?

You're the first thing I think of
when I wake up in the morning,

and the last before I
go to bed at night.

Your wife knows.

What?

You heard me.

You know something? You'd
make a very good lawyer.

Do you think I'm kidding?

I think you're hurt,

and I think you're
afraid to trust.

But I also think
you're worth it.

Isn't he cute? Yeah,
I think he's really cute.

Yeah, I think he's cute.

Yeah!

Come on, Vikings!

Dana... What?

Amy, what is it? What's wrong?

I don't... I don't feel well.
Um...

I'll be right back. Okay?

All right. Okay. Go! Go! Yes!

God.

Who's there?

Mrs. Bradshaw?

My God.

Lauren, hey.

Hey. Looking for Dana? She's over there
beating the pants off of some guy.

Hey, Miller. Over here.

Look who I finally met
while waiting for a table.

Small world?

Yeah, what are the chances?

And may I say that I
am totally jealous?

I mean the way this
guy talks about you.

Dana, would you mind
making a phone call?

Sure. To who?

To the Pope, to Elvis.

I don't care, as long
as it lasts a while.

Gotcha. It was nice meeting you.

I don't suppose you'd
be up for a game.

Dana tells me you got
quite a bank shot.

Why are you doing this?

Do you even realize how
exquisite you look?

Of course, I wish you were wearing
something I had given you.

What is this, some kind of lawyer thing?
You think if you butter me up,

I'll be your little
mistress again?

Amy, listen... No, you listen.

Ever since we started
seeing each other,

someone's being trying to scare
the living hell out of me.

And guess what. It's working.

Okay, you were right.
My wife knows.

Yeah, I know she knows.

That's why she's trying
to destroy my life.

No, no.

It was a good thing
you did, telling her.

Now she's ready to
accept the divorce.

Accept the divorce?

Are you crazy?

She was at my game last night.

She's been following me.

She even left a message
on my locker room mirror.

My wife was at your game?

Don't you get it?

It's been her doing
this stuff all along,

and she's not going to stop

until she knows
that we're through.

Amy, calm down.

That's why you just
have to leave me alone.

You have to leave me
alone so that it stops.

Whoa, whoa. Easy.

Look, I'll take care of it.
Okay?

I promise.

I am so tired of these
out-of-town away games.

I'm so hungry by the time
we get out of school,

and we don't get to eat till after
the game at that awful truck stop.

Hey, save me a seat.

Thanks.

You want to talk gross?

What about guys into piercing?
Ew.

And the ones who take
longer to get ready than we do.

Yeah, well, my personal favorite
is the goatee, hat backwards,

underwear coming out
of the pants combo.

What, we're not
trendy enough yet?

I'm going to meet you
guys back at the bus.

It was his wife.

His wife pushed me in
front of that truck. Amy,

I know what you're thinking.
"Come on, Miller.

"The woman followed you
all the way out of town,

"I mean if she wanted to kill you, why
would she go to all the trouble of..."

You got to stop
beating yourself up.

"Besides, you probably
deserve it for

"getting involved with her
husband in the first place."

Okay. Stop.

Jen...

I'm scared.

I can't sleep.

I think it's time I
go to the police.

I would probably feel the same
way if I were you, but...

But what?

Well, are you really ready
for your mom to find out?

I mean, that you've been sleeping
with this 30-year-old married man?

We're talking tabloid
heaven here...

"Jealous socialite tries to
kill husband's teen mistress."

So what do I do?

I can't tell you what to do.

Jen, please?

Okay.

Okay.

If I were you, I would
just stand my ground.

I would stay as far away
from this guy as possible.

You avoid the fire, you
don't get burned, right?

You always seem to
know what to do.

Thanks.

Of course.

You're not just Dana's friend.
You're my friend, too.

Right? Right.

Mom... Hi, honey.

Those people want to look at
the Elm Street property again.

Damn. Where are my keys?

Mom, I really need to talk
to you about something.

Amy, I'm running late here.

Sorry.

I do that a lot, don't I?

That's okay.

No, it's not okay. That's not how
I want things to be with us.

Now, what did you want
to talk to me about?

It's nothing.

You sure?

Yeah.

There's your keys. Right
under my nose as usual.

If that's Maggie, tell
her I'm on my way. Okay.

- Hello?
- Do you know how much I've missed you?

Derek, I thought I
told you that I...

I said I'd take care of that
harassment thing, and I have.

I need to tell you about it.

Tell me what?

Meet me at the bistro at 8:00.
We'll discuss it over dinner.

No, tell me now.

I'm being called to a meeting.
See you tonight.

I was starting to think
you weren't coming.

Did I have a choice?

Champagne, please.
The best you've got.

Excuse me, Miss but
I will have to...

I'll have an iced tea, thanks.

Very well.

Do you remember the first
time we came here,

how much fun we had?

Derek, you know why I'm here

and it has nothing
to do with fun.

You sure you don't want a
little champagne first?

You said you took care of this.
You talked to your wife.

And I did.

It is your wife, isn't it?

And you told her to stop this?

Let's eat first. No, let's not.

In that case, let's
get out of here.

We'll go to the beach house,

discuss it there.

That's what this
was really about, wasn't it?

You just wanted to get me here.

Amy, please.

You didn't find out anything. You
didn't even talk to your wife, did you?

God! I am such a damn idiot!

Will you please
lower your voice.

You were supposed to
take care of this.

You promised.

And now it's just getting worse.

Amy?

I know it's late,

but I didn't know where else to go.
Hey. What happened to you?

It was his wife. I saw her car.

She tried to run me...
Amy, enough already.

Look, you've got to tell your
mom and go to the police.

My mom would freak, and how
do I explain the fact that...

You're not going to be explaining
anything if you're six feet under, okay?

Look, either you
tell her, or I will.

No, I just need time.

Okay, I need time to think about this.
All right. Okay. Calm down.

Come on, I'll call your mom
and tell her that you're sick

and you're spending the night. We'll work
this whole thing out together tomorrow, okay?

Thanks, Dana.

Hello?

Hello?

Hi, Mom. Hey, honey.

You got a sec? Actually, I'm late
for a big signing at the bank.

Mom, there's something I
really have to tell you.

If it's about staying
at Dana's last night...

No, Mom...

I'm having an affair
with a married man.

And it gets worse.

That man is Derek Bradshaw,

the guy who pretended to be
interested in the house.

Honey.

That's why he didn't
call you back.

You said it gets worse.

Yeah, you know that thing you found
in the mailbox with the lingerie?

That was just the beginning.

A few days ago, I got
pushed in front of a truck.

And then last night, his wife tried
to force my car off a cliff.

Mom, she's trying to kill me.

Why didn't you
come to me before?

I was afraid.

Of how I'd react?

Amy, this is all my fault.

If only I'd been paying
more attention to you.

No, Mom. It had nothing
to do with you.

I mean in the beginning,

I didn't even know he was married
and then I thought I loved him.

And then he lied, you know, and
it got really complicated.

I let you down.

I just wasn't sure
what you'd do.

I'll tell you what we're going to do.
We're going to go right to the police.

It was his wife. Who
else would it be?

My daughter is not a liar, Detective
if that's what you're implying.

Mrs. Miller, I'm not
implying anything.

I'm simply pointing out
that there's no evidence

nor a single witness,
besides your daughter,

that this Bradshaw woman
actually did these things,

or, for that matter, that
any of them even happened.

So in other words, I'm
just a jealous mistress

who wants to eliminate
her competition?

You said it, not me.

What about the guardrail?

Anybody could have written that.

Or maybe I wrote it myself.

Mom, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to
stay here and listen to this crap.

Do you have kids, Detective?

Two daughters.

The oldest one turns
16 next month.

Going on 30.

Then you can imagine what it must be like to
watch her go through something like this.

Look, it's not as if
we're underworked here.

If I had to investigate
every harassment complaint

that came across my desk...
But what if it's true?

What if this woman
actually did these things?

Unfortunately, you're going to need
more than "what if" to make this stick.

Is that what you'd say to your wife
if this happened to your daughter?

All right. I'll check it out.

But no promises.

Thank you, Detective.

Mr. Bradshaw, there's a
Miss Miller here to see you.

Did you say Miller?

I told her you were going into a meeting,
but... No, that's all right, Mary.

Send her in.

Thank you for seeing me, Mr. Bradshaw.

I've heard what a
busy man you are.

Excuse me, but...

Don't tell me you were
expecting someone else.

Miss Miller, if this is about
that house we discussed...

I think you know damn
well what this is about.

How much has Amy told you?

Enough to make me come here.

Did she also tell you

how hard this has
been on my family...

This adolescent
fantasy of her's,

us having an affair?

Fantasy?

Or how she came to my house
to blackmail my wife?

Wait a minute.

You are not actually going to
stand there and try to make me...

Miss Miller, I love
my wife very much,

and I would never do anything
to jeopardize our marriage.

Now, if your daughter persists in
spreading rumors to the contrary,

I will be forced to
take legal action.

You're not talking to some jury

you can confuse with your
fancy defense tactics.

Take my word for it...

I am not someone you
want to mess with.

Is that supposed to be a threat?

Call it whatever you like,

but if you so much as breathe in
my daughter's direction again,

I'll be the one
taking legal action.

So, concerning this alleged incident
at the truck stop, you're saying...

I was with friends that evening,

here in town.

But you do own a
Jaguar, late model,

exactly like the one this girl says
tried to force her off a cliff.

My car was stolen that night,

which I reported hours before
this alleged incident took place.

Mrs. Bradshaw, what exactly was your
husband's relationship with Miss Miller?

Are you asking if my
husband was faithful?

I'm asking what you'd do if
you found out he wasn't.

Detective Meyers,

the only involvement my husband had with
this girl was over a minor traffic accident.

If she's chosen to
make more of it,

then she's the one you
should be questioning.

Now, if there's nothing else...

What did they ask you? What
do you think they asked me?

And what did you tell them?
Don't worry, Derek.

You came out smelling like a
rose, just like you always do.

You know something, darling?

I've been thinking maybe we
should go away together.

You know, just the two of us.
I don't think so, Derek.

No, look. I'm sure your old man
wouldn't mind squeezing a few days...

That's not what I'm talking about.
I don't follow.

You know, you have any
idea what it's like being

constantly humiliated like this?

Knowing about the lies,
knowing about these girls?

Elizabeth, please... No, I wanted
to believe you every time, Derek.

Every late-night dinner, every
out-of-town conference.

All right, look... I wanted to believe
you because I love you, Derek.

I wanted to hold onto you.

But I can't hold on any longer.
I can't keep living like this.

This Miller girl
meant nothing to me.

Do you understand me?
Absolutely nothing.

It was just a stupid
one-night thing, that's all.

That's what you said
about the last one, too.

Elizabeth, I love you.

And I love our children.

I swear... I swear this
will never happen again.

You're right, Derek. It won't.

Because I'm going to
make sure it doesn't.

I'm filing for divorce.

My father will be
in touch with you.

I wouldn't
think twice about it.

Okay. Thanks.

Hey, who was that?

That was the police. They
checked out Derek's wife.

And?

And she has an airtight alibi,

which means she isn't the one
who's been trying to get me.

Then who is?

I don't know.

But I'm going to find out.

We've got practice.

Amy...

You realize this is nuts.
This is totally crazy.

Don't you get it, Dana?

It's got to be someone
from his past,

someone who never
really got over him.

Since I never saw anything
at the beach house,

maybe he's got something
in his office.

Amy, I don't like this.

There's got to be something
with her name on it...

A letter or an address
book or something.

Okay.

What are you doing here?

Derek.

I was looking for you.

Looking for me? Why?

First you open your
big mouth to my wife.

Then you sic your guard-dog
mother after me.

You've been drinking.

You ungrateful little bitch.

Do you have any idea
what you've cost me?

Derek, I have
missed you so much.

That's why I came here.

I don't know why I
did those things.

That's why I had to see you,
to ask for another chance.

You're lying.

Don't you see? I only did those
things because I was so hurt.

Why should I believe you?

You're right.

You gave me everything I ever wanted,
and I... I threw it all away.

Hey...

Wait.

No, I've waited long enough.

I just want everything
to be perfect.

I want to look extra
special for you

just like the first time.
Remember?

I want you now. No,
no, let me go home

and change into something
that you got for me.

And then I'll meet you
at the beach house,

and we can be together, alone.

Just the two of us. Okay?

Nine o'clock.

Okay?

I'm telling you, there was
somebody there watching.

They probably heard
everything you guys said.

So whoever it is knows I'm meeting
Derek at his beach house.

Amy, please tell me you're not
thinking what I think you're thinking.

Dana, the police aren't
exactly helping, right?

Which means if I want this person
stopped, I've got to do it myself.

- Hot date?
- She's going to see Derek again.

Amy, I thought you
said you weren't.

I have to see him. I have to
find out what's going on.

Don't tell me his wife
is still out to get you?

Well, it's not his wife,
according to the police,

so we think it's somebody
connected to him and the school

because of her
locker being trashed

and the message on the mirror.

Yeah. I mean obviously, it's
someone who's jealous of you,

like Christie, maybe.

No. Too vain for something like

pushing me in front of a truck.

She'd be worried about
breaking a nail or something.

Well, what about Lauren?

I doubt he'd be stupid
enough to have dated someone

I might run into in the halls,

so it's probably someone who graduated
or transferred out or something.

You cheerleadered last year.

You know, like, everybody
in your class.

Are you sure you don't remember

hearing about some girl
who dated a married guy?

You know, actually, I did.

There was this girl who
was seeing this lawyer,

and his wife found out about it.

I don't have to tell you
guys what happened.

This girl, do you
remember her name?

No, I don't. Sorry.

Well, maybe I can seduce
Derek into telling me.

You're not actually thinking of
sleeping with him again, are you?

I'm his teen mistress. Remember?

Fine, but what if this
mystery person shows up

and tries to kill you again?

That's why you'll
be there, right?

Keeping a lookout.

Just like old times?

Yeah.

Remember how shy I was the
first time I came here?

God.

A toast...

To what's her name.

Who?

The girl you were
seeing before me.

Whoever she is, I hate her.

Who said I was seeing
anybody before you?

Just tell me her name wasn't
Bambi or Tiffany or something.

Or maybe she had one
of those exotic names

like Monique or Arabella.

Enough talk.

Come on. Derek, wait.

Take off your clothes.

I want to look at you.

Just tell me what letter
her name started with.

Why do you care so much?

I'm not angry. I'm just curious.

Then why do you keep
looking outside?

Is there somebody out there?

Derek, please.

What, is it my wife you're worried about?
Is that it?

Your wife? She's out
of the picture, Amy.

We're getting a divorce,

which means we can
finally be together.

No more secret rendezvous.

We can be together
whenever we want.

No, I don't think so.

What's wrong?

You know what, Derek? I think
it's time we end this. I'm sorry.

What is that supposed to mean?

You're a smart guy.
You figure it out.

And on second thought,
I'm not sorry one bit.

Amy...

Amy!

Damn it!

Come on.

Amy.

You couldn't leave him
alone, could you?

No. You had to keep
tempting him away.

Jennifer? Hey, it's not
like I didn't warn you.

You even came to me for
advice, for God's sake.

But did you listen?

Did you listen to a
single word that I said?

That girl you told me about...

That was you?

Until I got traded in for the
brand-new, improved model.

Jen, please?

I think we're way past
"please" here, Amy.

But I... Just shut up and drive.

Okay, pull up to the edge and
keep the engine running.

Jen, you can't do this.

Yeah? Watch me.

But I don't even want Derek.
It doesn't matter!

As long as you're
in the picture,

he'll want you.

See, he has to win.

That's just the way he is.

He'll never leave you alone.

What are you doing?

I'm helping you commit suicide,

just successfully this time.

It's the only way
that I can have him.

God. Please?

Goodbye, Amy.

I wish I could say it
was nice knowing you.

Come on! Come on.

Why?

Because you didn't know
what you were doing.

I love him so much.

I know.

I know that more than anybody.

Ready? Yes! Get
closer, real close.

One, two, three...

I am so proud of you, Pumpkin.

You know what, peaches?
I'm proud of you, too.

Come on, Miller. Party at Christie's.
Remember?

Yeah! Amy...

I know, be home by midnight...
Just have a great time. Okay?

Thanks.

Thanks, Mom.

Bye.
