You're not supposed

I won't tell if you won't,

I haven't heard that name

There was a girl--
Wait a minute.

Who are you?
It's been a long time,

Okay, now, to officially
open up the new gym,

I'd like to call upon
our principal,
Mr. Weatherall.

As I look around me
at this beautiful...

and groovy
new gymnasium,

I think
this puts to rest...

all those ghosts
at Hamilton High.

[ Chuckling ]
The strange noises,

the mysterious
earth tremors,

the-the vanishing students--
these are all in the past.

Even the sudden
and unexplained fire...

which destroyed part of
this very gymnasium...

couldn't keep us down.

Look around.
Everything's cool, man.

[ Chuckling ]
And so it's an honor--

Thank you.
And so it's an honor...

to officially reopen
the gym for our new year...

here at Hamilton High School!

[ Gasps ]
[ Girl Screams ]

Everybody just stay calm.
Stay in your seats.
Everything's all right.

Just relax.
Nothing serious.

All right, all right.
Nobody get excited.

No casualties.
Hit it!

"You're spending the summer

Sarah Monroe, girlfriend.

Girlfriends come and go,
man, but best friends
are forever.

That's why we got
to hit the road.

With the rest of
the homeless mental patients.

Hi.
Sarah, nice
to see you.

You want to help us
plan our trip?

What happened to summer
at the farm, you and me
getting back to nature?

I haven't really decided yet.
I don't know, Alex.
That sounds pretty exciting.

Then why don't you
let Alex decide?
Okay, what'll it be?

Freedom and
the wide-open road...

or 50 acres of cow pies
in the hot sun?

Alex!

Come in.
[ Alex ] Hi, Miss Richards.
You wanted to see me?

Oh. Yes.
Hello, Adam.

Alex.

I've just been going over
your quarterly review.

- Um, I'm passing, aren't I?
- Oh, yes. Passing.

And I suppose that's enough.
It's not as if you're planning
to go to medical school, is it?

- It says here
you're going to--
- Medical school.

I don't think so.
Your average is 71,
and that's not going to cut it.

From what I can see,
you're just not
a great student, Adam.

You don't know how
to sacrifice yourself
for your goal.

- I-I could learn.
- How far are you willing
to go to succeed, hmm?

I don't know. As far
as I have to, I guess.

You guess.

Perhaps you need to
reevaluate your goals.

There are other options--
building maintenance,

groundskeeping,
professional food services.

- You mean, like a cook?
- Not all of us can be
doctors, Adam.

The world needs
ditchdiggers too.

Have a nice day.

- Hello.
- I'd like that back, please.

What?
I'd like that back.

It was for my boyfriend,
the one who was supposed to
be spending the summer with me.

Oh, come on, Sarah.
You know how stubborn
Shane is.

Just say no.
He's not a drug.
He's my friend.

All right, all right,
all right.

I'll tell him
next time I see him.
I promise.

This is great.
I should still
take it back.

You probably don't even
know what day it is today.

Thursday?
I knew you wouldn't
remember our first--

First anniversary.
Yes.

Yes! And...

I have a special
surprise for you too.

Oh, do you?
Mm-hmm.

I'll pick you up
at 7:00...

for a romantic
candlelight dinner.

Um, have you got
any more ketchup?

Hmm?

Alex, what's wrong?
You haven't said a word
since we left the drive-thru.

[ Sighs ]
Well,

I had a meeting today
with Miss Richards.

She told me
with my grades,

I should forget about
medical school and start
learning how to flip burgers.

What does she know?
She's just a guidance counselor.

I'm tired of being average.
I'm tired of playing
second string.

Do you know
how tall I am?

5' 10".

Do you know that's
the national average?
I looked that up.

You know what size
shoes I take?

Size nine. Did you know
that's the national average?
I looked that up too.

I also looked up
the rest of my life.

I'm gonna get married
by the time I'm 25,

have 1.9 kids,
move into a two-story house
on a street named after a tree.

I live on a street
named after a tree.

I just want something
different right now.

While my soul
still has wings,
I want to fly.

Okay, fine.

You go on your little
trip with Shane, okay?

I didn't want you to come
to the farm with me anyway.
That's not the point.

I just--

Look, never mind. I--
I don't want to start
fighting again tonight.

We're not fighting.

Well, I gotta study
if I want to pass
that biology exam tomorrow.

Good plan.

Can I stop
and get my books?
Sure.

Just, um, drop me home
on the way, okay?

We are fighting,
aren't we?

As if you're gonna
make it that far.

But anyway, we studied
all this in class,

so if you can dig your minds
out of rock videos

then maybe this
won't be terminal.

find it a challenge.

[ Alex ] No!

Shut up.
Don't catch the ball.

- [ Screaming ]
- [ Thud ]

- Touchdown!
- Oh, no.

Not again. Mary Lou, look,
I know you're doing what
you think is best here,

but I can't keep up
with you anymore.

I bet you could learn,
Daddy-o.

I don't want to learn.
Look, this is it.
Forget it.

This is the last stiff.
Why don't you go back
to wherever you come from...

and find yourself
a nice dead guy
and settle down?

But what about
our relationship?
What relationship?

You kill them; I bury them
in the football field.
Not your basic boy-meets-girl.

What about this?

No, that's it.
It's over.

[ Mr. Weatherall Over P.A. ]
Attention Students. Today is
Mrs. Melanoma's last day...

as cafeteria cook.

She's returning to her old job
at the Hamilton
toxic waste dump.

So let's all wish her
good luck.

Excuse me.
Oh, come on, Sarah. You're not
still mad at me, are you?

[ Mock Chuckle ]
Mad? No.

Hurt, pissed off,
furious? Yes.

But no, I'm not mad.

I thought we had a deal.
I thought we weren't
gonna fight anymore.

We did.
You broke it.

Sarah.

Alex, get up.
Please?

Please, please, please?
If you're not still mad by prom,
I'd like to take you. Please?

Sorry.
Leonard Welsh
already asked me.

- Leonard Welsh?
- [ All ]
Leonard Welsh?

I haven't said yes yet.

Yes!
[ Students Cheering ]

All right, all right.
Quiet now.

Now, I don't want
any laughing...

or fooling around.

This is a very
serious subject,

and we're all adults here.

So, we can talk
openly and freely about...

sex.

So, let's watch the film
now, shall we?

Bertram, lights, please.

Her name doesn't matter.

Let's call her Jane Doe.

She was once
alive and vital.

Young, and full of
the freshness of beauty.

But now she lies here,

cold and stiff.

Dead. A victim
of social disease.

She was just 18
when she came to the big city.

But her years on the farm
hadn't prepared her for...

anything like this.

Pardon me, sir.
I was wondering
if you could help me.

I just got off the bus
from Memphis,

and I was looking for
a place to stay.

Well, little lady,
I'm sure we can find
something for you.

[ Narrator ]
For Jane Doe,
it was already...

too late.

She slipped
into a nightmare world...

of parties, liquor
and loose morals.

I just love champagne.

And I love you.
[ Giggling ]

And I love you.

And I love you.

And I love you, Alex.

I don't give up that easy.

You're mine,
and I want you back.
[ All Chanting ]

[ Chanting Continues ]

Leave me alone!

Back to your seat,
Mr. Grey.

[ All Cheering ]

Alex Grey?
Yeah?

I'm Detective Meyer.
This is Detective Kovacs.

You play football
with a 17-year-old
male Caucasian...

named Andrew Douglas?

Sort of.

1711. Missing persons.
Could have been foul play.
Probably drugs.

Have you had contact
with him over the last
48 hours?

Contact? Uh--

No, sir.
Uh, Andrew and I,

we weren't really
that close.

Enemies?
No, I didn't, uh--

I didn't say "enemies."
I just--

We never, you know,
hung out together.

All right.
If you, uh,
hear from him,

just give us
a call, will ya?

Okay.
Hope you find him.

"Enemies."
Write "enemies."

[ Tires Squeal ]
[ Horn Honks ]

I was wondering--

I was wondering exactly
what color your dress
was gonna be...

so I would know what style
of corsage would best
suit you for the prom.

Well, um, Leonard,

I haven't actually decided
if I'm even gonna go.

You mean, you haven't
exactly decided if
you're going with me.

- No, Leonard.
- That's all right.
That's all right.

I assumed you'd feel
this way, and that's why
I've made up this proposal,

which is a projected series
of events which would occur
on the evening of the prom.

Perhaps it might make
your decision process
a little easier.

I would pick you up
at 8:15.

There would be seven minutes
of dialogue with your parents--
getting to know me and so forth.

We would leave for the prom
at 8:23,

but I've allowed
a 10-minute grace period...

in case your parents
want to take photos
of the event.

And then with
the 20-minute drive
to the prom,

we would arrive
at 8:53.

Which leaves us
an extra seven minutes
for anything.

If you want gum,
we have seven minutes.

[ Man ]
It's right this way.
It's right over here.

They were supposed to be
re-sodding this whole field.

- Is that Andrew Douglas?
- What's left of him, yeah.

What else have you got?
A teacher.
He's all cut up.

And, uh, I found chunks
of food inside of him.

Fruit.
What kind of fruit?

Bananas, cherries--
You know, fruit.

Anything else?
No.

Oh, yeah. Miss Richards.
She's been burnt or something.

That another teacher?
Nah.
Just a guidance counselor.

All right. Wrap 'em up
and take 'em to the deli.

School sure has changed
since I was a kid.

Why didn't you
come to me before?

Maybe we could have
stopped this before
it went too far.

You know what the really
scary part about it is?

I think I've started
to like it.

I mean,
I made the honor roll.

I got popular.
I got a motor bike.

And all I had to do
was dig a few holes
and boff a ghost.

[ Chuckles ]
It was easy.

Why don't we leave
right now?

Just hit the road
and never come back.

We could be in Mexico
before anybody
even misses us.

he calls or something.

Well, Alex
is having uh,
some problems.

What kind of problems?

Uh, well, sometimes
people take a little
vacation from reality.

You mean, you think
Alex is crazy?

No, not exactly
crazy.

He's kind of more,
uh--

Just a couple of sandwiches
short of a picnic.

You know what I mean?

Poor Alex.
Will you help him, Shane?

Well, I'll try.

on his hands. You got
Alex Grey's statement?

You're idiots. It's right here.
"Asked about his relationship...

with missing personalities,
Grey replied, 'We weren't
close friends.'"

He knew he was dead.
He was already using
the past tense.

Get a squad car over

I want him in custody
within the hour.

Workers digging
on the football field
at Hamilton High School...

made a grisly discovery
late yesterday afternoon--

- [ Static ]
- A funeral was held today
for Shane Taylor...

the young Hamilton High School
student that was brutally
murdered by his best friend.

- [ Static ]
- Alex Grey, the so-called
high school assassin...

made a brief court
appearance today, and was
remanded in custody...

to be held without bail
until trial.

Experts agree his
psychotic killing spree
could be the result...

of bad dietary habits,
rock and roll lyrics,
and too many horror movies.

- [ Static ]
- Principal Weatherall,

did you have any idea
at all that there was
something wrong with Alex?

Oh, I certainly did!
Alex Grey was
a walking time bomb.

A maniac.
[ All Yelling ]

It's a wonder
he didn't snap earlier.

I tried to warn people,
but no one would listen.

Will you be canceling
the dance here tonight?

Oh, this is not just a dance.
This is the inaugural prom
for our new gym.

Now, this is a tragedy,
but it's-it's also
an isolated incident.

And I won't allow
the actions of a single,
homicidal student...

to ruin the fun of others.

No, at Hamilton High
