Swimfan (2002) - full transcript

New Jersey high school senior Ben Cronin is a former juvenile delinquent, whose past criminal behavior was fueled by and for drug use. He credits the support of his now long time girlfriend Amy Miller and getting into competitive swimming as the primary reasons for turning his life around, which includes working part-time at the hospital where his single mother works. He has become the star swimmer of his high school team, so much so that scouts from Stanford University are coming in a week's time to watch Ben swim. Ben has a new swim fan in Madison Bell, a recent transfer student to Ben's high school. Despite Ben making it clear that he is in a committed relationship, Madison seduces him, the seduction to which he succumbs. They agree afterward that their encounter was a one-time only event, but Ben slowly comes to the realization that despite Madison's assertions to the contrary, she has more in mind with him. He feels her constant unspoken threats to expose their tryst and ultimately when he rebuffs her totally, unspoken threats to ruin his life in whatever means possible. Ben quickly learns to what extremes Madison is willing to go, especially when he finds out about her past. He has to figure out how to regain his life back from his known stalker, which is aided by the reason Madison is in New Jersey in the first place.

(Coach) Pick it up, Frank!

Morning, sir.

Hey, Ben.
Sit down.

Sure.

How you feel?

Good.

Good. Did you swim this morning?

Oh, yeah.

What were you holding
for the 100's?

Uh, 50 plus in a minute 30.

Not bad.

I can get it under 45, I think.

Question is,

can you do it in time
for the Fillmore meet?

Why?

Stanford scouts are flying down here

a week from tomorrow.

For the next 8 days,

I want you living in that pool.

And when you're not swimming,

I want you thinking about swimming.

I want you dreaming about it.

You hear me?

Yeah, yeah.

I don't mean to put any undue
pressure on you, Benjamin.

What are we talking about
here, your entire future?

Right. Right.

Go get changed.

Okay. Thank you.

Oh, there's the one!
Oh, California boy!

Oh, can I have your autograph?

Hey, congratulations, man.

Thanks, dude.
Nervous?

Yeah, a little bit.

You're gonna kick ass.

I hope so.

Well, yeah, that is until I out-swim

your little punk ass,
and those scouts forget

they ever knew your name,

and hand me the scholarship.

I just remember why
We broke up, Josh.

Because you couldn't
Handle me in bed or...

No, because you're
an asshole.

Ouch.

Ben just got good news.

The correct response
is "Congratulations."

You know what?
You're right.

Mm-hmm.

Congratulations, dickhead.

Let's not try to be mature today.

Let's just not.
Yeah.

Whatever we do, let's
make it opposite day

And everybody just be
really immature.

(All laughing)

What's weird is--
No, I'm sitting there

And she keeps talking
about the gerbils,

And I'm like--

Hey, watch it! Hey!

Forget about it.

Hey, Dante.

Yo, he's crazy.
He's a freak, man.

All right, dude.

Hey, congrats.

Thanks, man.

So.
So.

It might actually happen, huh?

Yeah. Can you picture it...

Me in California?

And me in Rhode Island.

That's 3,000 miles, Ben.

I know how many miles it is.
Come here.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Okay?

Nothing's gonna change that.

And I've bought you something.

What?

(Teasingly) what?

Ohh!

Open it first.

Oh, wow.
That is so beautiful.

You're beautiful.

You're so beautiful.

Oh, thank you.

You know that...
I wouldn't even be here

if it wasn't for you
Believing in me.

This is a ploy to get laid.

Is it working?

(Both laugh)

(Bell rings)

(Girl) Excuse me?

I can't get this stupid
thing to open,

And I'm late for English.

Do you think you could...

Yeah, I can take a look, yeah.

Um, they gave me
the combination, but--

I don't need a combination.

I just need a, uh, a, um...

That right there.

This? Okay.

Thank you.

Can't let you be late
on your first day, right?

Is it that obvious?

Well...

(Grunts)

(Lock clicks)

Thank you so much.

Here.

Um, keep it.

You never know when I
Might need saving again.

Okay.

I'm Madison, by the way.

Madison Bell.

Ben Cronin. Hi.

What's the letter for, Ben Cronin?

The letter is for swimming, Madison Bell.

Are you good?

I'm okay, yeah.

Uh, I'll see you around.

See ya.

Bye.

Hey.

There's my swim champ.

Mom.

Better get started with Mr. Tillman.

He's been asking for you.

Okay.

(Mr. Tillman) Hey, Ben!
Give me some good news.

Uh, scouts are coming next week.

Girl scouts?

No. Swim scouts

From stanford to see me.

I asked you to find me a woman.

It's hard to find one
in your age bracket

That's still breathing, sir.

Here you go.

Oh, almost forgot.

Hey, that's my boy!

Anything else? Okay.

Are you guys okay?

Okay.

Did you miss me?

Like crazy.

Wait, I've been
thinking a little bit.

What if I didn't go
To Rhode Island next year?

What do you mean?

Well, what if I went
to Berkeley instead?

That way we could be closer
when you go to stanford

And we could get
an apartment together.

Amy, Amy, I haven't gotten in yet.

I know, but you will.

Uh, heh.

If you hate the idea,
it's okay.

No! No, no, no, no,
you kidding?

No, it's a great idea.

- Really?
- Yes.

Really.
It's a great idea.

Heh.

Morning, Benjamin.

Hey.

A little early for you, isn't it?

Yes, it is.
But thought I'd get

a little lane time
In before the rush.

Gotta look good
for the scouts, right?

Yeah, right.

Listen, man, I know that
they're gonna be here

Looking at you,

but the rest of us
Will be in the pool.

Hey, the more the merrier, buddy.

So... Madison Bell.

What?

Word is she's a senior,

Originally from down south,

So you know I'm planning on hearing

That little southern accent
when she moans my name.

More like when she applies
for the restraining order.

Do you want to hear this or not?

Yeah, tell me.
What's up?

So the reason she's up here

Is her family's all in Europe, right?

So she's staying up here
with her cousin.

Guess who her cousin is?

Who's her cousin?

Christopher Dante.

Ha ha ha!

Hey, you're set, man.
He loves you.

He's gonna put in a good word
and everything, man.

Come on, dude.

Do you think he would though, seriously?

Yeah. No, no, he really--

Come on, think about it.

No, never. Ha ha ha!

See you at school.

"Handy all over the place."

What is that?

(Telephone rings)

It's a boy.

Hello?

(Ben, on telephone)
Hi, Madison.

This is, uh, Ben Cronin.

Uh, you left your
notebook in my car.

Sharp. Got a date?

It's pants and a shirt.
I'm just, uh--

I'll be back in, like, half an hour.

(Doorbell rings)

How's it going?

Y-you don't have to be
nice to me. I mean,

she's already going out
With you, so...

No, we're not--
we're not going out.

I'm just returning her notebook.

Well, I'll take it.
I mean,

no reason to hold you up.

I'm sure you got more important

Things to do, so...

Christopher?

Why didn't you tell me
I had a visitor?

I just had to get out of there.

It's so stifling.

(Ben) You okay?

Yeah.

I guess I haven't
really eaten all day.

Here's your order.

(Madison) Thank you.

Welcome.

So I've been dying to know.

How come a nice boy like you

knows how to break into
strange girls' lockers?

I didn't used to be so nice.

Well, that's hard to believe.

It was a long time ago.

Pretty much everybody around here's

forgotten about it,
except, uh, the cops.

You don't have to tell me about it.

No. I had a situation with drugs,

which turned into
a situation With stealing.

I spent 6 months at a juvenile hall.

It was actually the best
thing that's ever

happened to me because they had a pool.

Yeah, this shitty old lap pool

that hadn't even been used in years,

And I got assigned to clean it.

And pretty soon,
I was swimming in it

more than I was cleaning it.

You know, it was just easy for me

to jump in the pool
and forget about

all the mess that
Was going on around me

and just swim.

Yeah, when I play music sometimes,

I just-- I play cello.

And I just float out of my body,

Up above the music where no one...

Can touch me...
or hurt me.

I can escape.

Do you want to escape?

Yeah. Sometimes.

But not right now.

Right now I like where I am.

Um...

Madison, I should tell you something.

You have a girlfriend.

Yeah. Amy.

Is it serious?

Yeah, it is.

She's great.
She's the other reason

Why I turned my life around.

Story of my life.

Can't expect the nicest,
most handsome guy in school

to be single too.

Don't worry about me.

I got somebody waiting
for me in New York.

He's a great guy.

Really good shortstop too.

Actually, the Mets
are pretty interested.

The mets?
Like, really the Mets?

- Yeah.
- Wow.

But until we can live
in the same place,

We've agreed to see other people.

And that's what I intend to do.

For what's it worth,

My friend Josh would
gladly murder me

And step over my dead body

Just to be sitting here
right now with you.

Thanks, but I'm not interested in Josh.

I should really take you home.

Yeah, you should.

Yeah.

But, uh...

I'm not ready to say good night.

What do you want to do?

Careful. I can't swim.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Show me how?

Yeah.

Um... okay, uh,

Come here.

Um, you gotta know how to float.

And, uh, kick.

So, like, lean back, you know.

Yeah. Very important.

There you go.
You're a natural.

Like that?

Yeah. It's getting deeper.

(Both laugh)

Yeah, the side's right there.

Okay.

Easy.

Sure.

So.

It's okay.
I want you to.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.
We can't--

We can't do this.
We can't do this.

It's all right.

It'll be our little secret.

Oh! Or maybe not so little.

(Moaning) Ben...

Tell me you love me.

You love me.

What?

You don't have to mean it, just...

Say it for me.

I love you.

(Dogs barking)

So.

So.

I hope you don't think I do this
kind of thing all the time.

No, of course not.

No.

I don't want to be
a locker room joke, you know,

So...

Don't tell anybody, okay?

I won't tell anybody, no.

Good.

Still friends?

See you tomorrow.

(Dogs howling)

(Ring)

(Ring)

(Ben) Yeah.

(Amy, on telephone)
You are so busted.

I thought you were gonna come by

the restaurant last night
and keep me company.

I'm sorry. I had--
I had, uh,

Homework at Randy's.

Oh, how's his mom doing?

Huh?

I heard that she broke her wrist.

Is she still in a cast?

Um, she's like...

She seemed okay.
I'm trying to--

She was-- she was--
She didn't seem like

She was in pain or anything.

Oh, well, that's good.

I left you something.

What?

It's in your locker.

I hope you like it.
I love you.

Yeah,
I love you, too.

Bye.

parents gonna be?

Sorry.

You'd better get your head

Are you listening to me, son?

Yeah.

Sorry.

Because if you think you're

I'll be ready on Thursday.

(Mother) Yes, I know.

Happy Birthday.

Oh, hi. Oh, honey,
those are beautiful.

Thank you.

Madison brought me those.

Aren't they pretty?

I'll just put these in water.

(Kiss)

Surprise.

Yeah.

Can you excuse me for one second?

How long has she been here?

I don't know.
About 20 minutes.

Who is she?

It's so great to finally
meet your mother.

What do you mean, "finally"?

I mean, you just met me.

It doesn't feel that way.

How did you know that
it was her birthday,

by the way?

You told me.

At the party, remember?

Madison, uh...

I think that you're misunderstanding

Our relationship in a
very fundamental way.

We're friends.

Right.

Friends, exactly.

Friends see each other.
Friends are happy

when other friends
stop by with flowers.

What's the problem?

Um, you're just coming on
a little strong, you know?

You didn't think
I was coming on too strong

When we were in the pool.

(Whispering)
I have a girlfriend.

I told you that
I had a girlfriend.

What are you saying?

That making love
to me was a mistake?

Yeah, I guess I am.

I'm sorry.

So you want to just
forget all about it?

Pretend like it never happened?

Maybe I was wrong about you.

I'm friends with Josh.

Oh, right.

He did?

(Randy) Cool.

Well, I'll see ya.

So, uh, you and Josh.
That's cool.

Um, can we just sit down?

I just...

I want you to know that I know.

You know?

Yeah, I know.

I know how freaked out
you are right now.

Yeah, I think I know why.

I mean, it's because
of the other night, right?

Yeah.

I was just pushing
because it's senior year

And suddenly I was
really afraid of losing you,

But we don't have to make
any plans right now.

You know, we can
just take everything

One step at a time,
and I am fine with that.

I am.

That was my whole speech.

I practiced it and everything.

I don't deserve you.

Thank you.

It's true.

I've been looking
all over for you.

What are you doing in here?

Ben, what is going on?

I don't understand.

You're not returning my calls.

You mad about Josh?

I'm late for work.

Listen, he doesn't
mean anything to me.

When I'm with him,
I pretend it's you.

Wow.

Did I do something wrong?
Would you just talk to me?

Madison, I have a lot
going on right now, okay?

Maybe too much.
Maybe you should consider

dropping some of your commitments.

Jesus, Madison,
what don't you get?

I'm-- I'm trying to drop you.

You don't mean that.

Madison, I don't know
any other way to say this

Except to just say it, okay?

I'm not with you.

I'm with Amy. Amy.

I told you this.

Do you remember?

Sure, I remember,
but I also remember

You told me you loved me.

Yeah--

You asked me to.

(Door slams open)

(Door closes)

(Ben) How you feeling, sir?

Fine. Just get me some Viagra

And a nurse under 70.

Would you take these, please?

Hey...

What's wrong?

Is it the swim meet?

The pressure getting to you?

Can you just take the pills?
I'm kind of running late.

Thank you.

Mrs. Egan, I checked
and rechecked the meds

before I left the nurses' station.

Somebody must've switched
the cups around in my cart.

Oh, Ben.

(Mrs. Egan)
Even if I believed you,

it was still your responsibility

to keep your cart with you
at all times.

Now, you're lucky.

Mr. Tillman will recover,

and no one else
was seriously hurt.

(Sighs) I'm sorry.

Ben, I have no choice
but to let you go.

(Gasps)

I know what you're doing.

I'm telling you right now

that you'd better
cut this shit out.

You should've told me
you like it rough.

This isn't a game, Madison.

You almost killed somebody.

Here's what you're gonna do.

You're gonna stop calling me.

You're gonna stop paging me.

You're gonna stop visiting me.

Okay?

If you see me in the hallway,

You're gonna pass me by
like I don't exist.

You got it?

- Yes.
- Okay.

Good girl.

(Door closes)

Hey! I didn't know
you were coming by.

What's wrong?

We need to talk.

Can you take a break?

No, I can't take
a break right now.

I just took a break.

Okay, all right, I can wait.

Ben, I don't get done
until 1:00 in the morning.

You have to go home and get
some rest for the meet--

Screw the meet.

What's wrong?

We can't talk about it here.

Okay. Um...

I can skip first period

And we'll go for a drive.

Okay.
In the morning, okay.

All right.

Ben.

Yeah?

Your urine tested positive
for anabolic steroids.

- What?
- You heard me.

Steroids are banned
at this school, Ben.

I'm gonna have to ask you
tTo leave the pool area

and go clean out your locker.

You're off the team.

Coach, coach!
You can't do this to me.

I don't--

There's-- there's been
some kind of mistake.

I don't take steroids.

(Ben) I don't take--

You did this to yourself, Ben.

Now go pack...

And go home.

Where is she?

Where is she?!

Dude, you're losing it, man.

You helped her.

You know, screw you, Ben.

Screw you.

(Tosses car keys)

Are you taking drugs again?

Would you believe me
if I said no?

This is how it started
the last time--

The lying, the screwing up in school.

(Ben) Once guilty,
always guilty, right?

What I need is for everybody
To just leave me alone

while I figure out
how to get my life back!

(Pounds wall)

(Boat horn honking)

Amy.

(Amy) Are you okay?

No.

You?

No.

I just can't really believe it.

She did it.
I know she did.

I really think you should go.

♪ (Radio playing) ♪

Oh, Ben.

Ben...

What's the matter?

Um, my name's not Ben.

I know that.

Josh, come here.

Josh, Josh.

It's all true, isn't it?

What? What?

Ben was telling the truth.

You slept with him

and now you're trying
to hurt him

'cause he doesn't
want you anymore.

Don't say that.

I should've known.

Ben would never do steroids.

He doesn't need 'em.

- God.
- Josh--

You know what?

Screw you!

How 'bout that?!

Josh, get back here!

Come here!

Josh!

Josh, come here!

Josh!

Ben!

(Madison's voice)
It's okay. I want you to.

(Ben's voice)
Madison--

- Touch me.
- Madison, wait.

Madison--

Tell me you love me.

Madison, I have
To tell you something.

Tell me you love me.

I love you.

Aah! Uhh!

Help!

Help! Help!

Help!

(Man) Loving son, brother,

wonderful student athlete,
and a friend.

As we remember these words...

"If we die with the Lord

"we shall live with the Lord.

"If we endure with the Lord,

"we shall reign with the Lord.

"Let your ears be attentive
to my voice in supplication.

"I trust in the Lord and
my soul trusts in His word.

"My soul waits for the Lord

"more than sentinels for the dawn.

"With the Lord is kindness,

With Him is plenteous redemption."

I didn't do it.

You didn't see anyone else
enter or leave the pool?

I told you that I didn't see--

No, I know.

I'd like you to take me
through it again.

Come on, Ben.

You remember how this works.

Not that long ago, right?

Your prints were on the bat.

Yeah, well, along with
the rest of the team's.

I'm a simple man.

Go by the evidence.

So, arrest me.

We're not there yet.

But, um...

As they say, don't leave town.

(Chuckles)
"Don't leave town."

I'm never leaving this town.

(Applause)

You shouldn't be in here.

If she found you in here,
she'd kill you.

No shit.

You better come with me.

Come on!

I found this.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Go on.

Christopher?

Do you have guests?

Of course not-- that would
mean you had friends.

Hey.

Who-- who's Jake Donnelly?

I want to show you something.

Come on.
Let's go.

Come on.
It's not too far.

You coming in?

No, y-you go on.

I'm--I'm gonna
Stay here.

Go.

(Ben) Excuse me.

Yes?

Uh, I'm looking for Jake Donnelly.

(Madison's voice)
Don't worry about me.

I got somebody waiting
For me in New York.

Can I help you?

I'm sorry.
I'm, uh...

An old friend of Jake's.

Why you kids don't
wear your seat belts,

I don't know.

His girlfriend did,

walked away without a scratch.

I should let you spend
some time alone with him.

Thank you.

Madison left the room like this.

She was convinced he'd
come back to her someday,

Poor thing.

Just throw on his clothes
and go find her.

You take your time, okay?

(Pager beeps)

Mom, I got your page.
What's up?

Paramedics just brought Amy in.

Ben, they're saying
you ran her off the road.

They have a witness.

The police are looking
for you, Ben.

I'm calling you a lawyer.

Mm-hmm.

We'll see you in the morning.

My dad used to cheat
on my mom.

It broke her heart.

And, uh...

I remember swearing to myself...

That I would never be like him,

And that, when I found
somebody that I loved...

I would love her forever.

I just never thought
it was gonna happen so soon.

You're everything I ever wanted.

You're everything I ever could want.

I hate what I did,

And...

(Doorbell rings)

I got it!

False alarm.

Mom... mom...

(Handcuffs clinking)

You see that?
Look, look. See?

Right there.

That's where we made love.

Madison!

Ben?

She doesn't love you
like I do, Ben.

No one will ever
love you like I do!

You can stop all this
if you just admit it--

That you love me.

I can't do that.

- Aah!
- No!

Tell her, Ben!

Tell her you love me!
I know it!

(Gasps)

Aah!

Ahh! Uhh!

(Gasping)

Aah!

Aah!
