[suspenseful music]

[rock music playing]

(SINGING) Staying up late.

Woke up with the sun.

The party didn't end

till the morning come.

No worries.

No regrets.

Would you just finish that

so I can smoke it already?

Ay, chill.

I'm almost done.

Bitchin'.

I'm going to take a

piss while you finish that.

Out here?

Yeah, out here.

Or you can hand

me that bottle.

You are such a chump.

Just go.

Why don't you do

me a solid and be

done with that by

the time I'm back

and maybe I'll

give you my sod.

Mmm.

You're such a f*cking perv.

Don't make me wait long.

Go!

Hey.

Don't make me

wait out here forever.

[radio playing]

[knocking]

Micah?

[banging]

[suspenseful music]

[yells]

[grunting]

[music playing]

[music continues]

[music continues]

(SINGING) I keep my head up.

I put my foot down.

Never been.

A day in the life of

a super bad mother.

We're here.

Want to take a look around?

I suppose.

What's with all the stuff?

Belongs to the owner.

I think this will

be OK, though.

Fresh start.

It's OK, I guess.

EVE: Shall we?

[music playing]

[music continues]

[footsteps]

[music continues]

[footsteps]

Found my room.

EVE: What's that?

I found my room.

I'm going to start

bringing in boxes.

OK.

Come help me?

OK.

EVE: Abby, this is our

new neighbor, Donna.

ABIGAIL: Hi.

Abigail, but you

can call me Abby.

Well, nice to meet you, Abby.

It's just the

two of you alls?

No mister?

He's... well, he's

no longer with us.

DONNA: Oh, Lord.

I'm so sorry, sweetheart.

Had I known

that, I said nothing.

It's OK.

My good for nothing

husband left me

and my son about

two years ago.

Said he was going

to go visit a friend.

I guess he forgot to mention

his friend lived in Kentucky.

And that she was six

months pregnant with his child.

That's awful.

Yeah.

He's a keeper, all right.

You said you had a son.

He about your age.

EVE: Maybe the two of you will

be in some of the same classes.

Abby starts next week.

You want to meet him?

Yeah, sure.

Lucas!

Get your ass out here.

So what brings you

out here to Alabama?

Just time for a change.

Right, Abby?

Yeah.

Ain't nothing

wrong with that.

Little change ain't

never hurt nobody.

What?

You better watch how

you're talking to me.

I want you to meet

our new neighbors.

They came all the way

here from California.

Y'all ain't celebrities

in hiding, are y'all?

No.

Get back over here.

He got a little bit

of his daddy in him.

It happens.

Abby.

Lucas.

I like your shoes.

EVE: Well, it was nice

to meet the both of you,

but Abby and I

really should start

bringing him boxes so that

we're not out here all night.

DONNA: Well, I'll tell

you what, how about I help

you with those

boxes and Lucas can

walk Abby down

past the school.

I'd like that.

And I'll make some sweet tea.

I suppose.

Whatever.

[train honking]

How far is it to the school?

I'm excited to make

new friends here.

Maybe I can start with you.

We ain't friends.

Why not?

Do you not like girls?

Seriously?

Well?

I ain't friends with nerds.

And I know you're

a goody two shoes.

You don't know that.

For all you know, I smoke and

I drink and I do the marijuana.

What do you think

about that, huh, buddy?

Do the marijuana?

Nobody who smokes says that.

That's what I think, buddy.

And if you want to

be my friend, you can

start by not calling me that.

Whatever.

How come your dad left you?

He didn't leave

me, he left my mom.

He's coming back for me.

He just got a lot

going on right now.

Your mom doesn't

seem to think so.

My mom is the reason he left.

Could you please

stop talking?

I could do that,

especially for a friend.

I know you don't

think I can, but I can.

Anytime I want.

[birds chirping]

Is this it?

Yeah.

Come on.

You sure we're allowed

to go through there?

I thought you weren't

a goody two shoes?

[chains rattling]

Told you.

Congratulations!

You took the shortcut.

[sighs]

[footsteps]

What's wrong?

DANIEL: Hey, sh*t stain.

Nothing.

Let's just go.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey, don't you walk

away from me, boy.

Who's the bunny?

What's she doing with you?

Answer the

question, sh*t stain.

f*gg*t.

I'm not a f*gg*t.

Leave him alone, shithead.

So the bunny can talk.

Man, you got a mouth on you.

Why are you hanging

out with this f*gg*t, bunny?

I said, I'm not a f*gg*t.

Is that right, poor boy?

You're a stupid poor

loser with a slut mom.

Ain't that why daddy left?

You better leave him alone.

Or else.

Or else what?

What, are you

going to rat on us?

[gasp]

When you realize sh*t stain's

a loser, you come and find me.

[scoffs]

Man, f*ck this.

If my dad was

here, God, he would

have made him pay for that.

Well, he ain't.

And I don't need no daddy taking

care of me, especially yours.

- Who were they?

- Stupid jerks from my school.

Why did they

keep calling you...

Can we just drop it?

And what do you care anyway?

All you done was make

me look like a huge p*ssy.

I'm sorry, I was

just trying to help.

Well, you didn't.

What can I do to help?

You can stay away from me!

But I thought

we were friends.

Well, we ain't.

And never will be.

So stop asking questions.

[footsteps]

[footsteps]

I'm sorry.

[footsteps]

[birds chirping]

I thought I told you

to make friends.

I was.

I was really

nice to him, but...

But what, Abby?

We came here to get away from

problems, not create new ones.

It's not like that.

When we got up to the

school, there was these guys

and they were

pushing him around.

And what?

What did you do?

When I tried to

help, Lucas got mad.

Don't lie to me, Abby.

Excuse me.

I said, don't lie to me.

Not excuse me,

what did you say?

Excuse me, I'm

going to my room.

[footsteps]

[door slamming]

[footsteps]

[water pouring]

[rattling]

[cracking]

[footsteps]

[music playing]

[music continues]

[flapping]

[music continues]

[footsteps]

[music continues]

[footsteps]

[thud]

[screaming]

What's your problem?

I'm not the one

with the problem.

You're the one sneaking around

in the middle of the night.

What are you even

doing out here anyway?

That's my

business, not yours.

Now, go back.

I'm not... I'm

not going back.

Yeah, you are.

I don't need no goody two

shoes puppy dogging me out here.

OK.

I'll go back.

Straight back to

your house and I'll tell

your mom that you're out here.

- No!

How's that for a

goody two shoes?

Whatever.

If you're going with,

at least try and act cool.

And you can't tell

anyone we were out here.

What did I just say

about being cool?

Right.

Be cool.

[music playing]

[music continues]

Where are we going anyway?

The old mill pond.

Cool.

Wait, why?

What's with you and

all these questions?

Do you want to go or not?

[snorts]

What?

You just asked me

like three questions.

[music continues]

The train tracks used to go

through, but a couple of years

ago, they took them out.

So, no one really comes

back here no more.

I thought you said no one

comes out here anymore.

No one but

Daniel and his dad.

That's his RV over there.

ABIGAIL: Who's Daniel?

He's the one that

kept calling you bunny.

Right.

The other one was Ben.

What's their issue?

I don't know.

So, after my dad

left, Dan and his dad

used to come over a lot.

I'm not sure exactly what

happened, but after a while,

he just stopped coming over.

And that's when Daniel

started acting like that.

He's a stupid prick anyhow.

Here.

Thanks.

You don't really have

a lot of friends, do you?

I have friends.

They just don't

live around here,

so I don't get to see

them a lot, that's all.

OK.

You know, I could be

a pretty good friend.

Just give it a rest already.

[music playing]

[crickets chirping]

[metal banging]

You're going to

get us caught.

[giggling]

We probably better head back

in case someone heard you.

OK.

Yeah.

Thank you.

For what?

That was fun.

Yeah.

I mean, I guess.

I'll see you tomorrow?

Yeah.

Night.

[footsteps]

[chopping]

[radio playing]

You hungry?

Mm-hmm.

Is there something

I should know?

[thud]

Ever since yesterday's

incident with that Lucas boy,

you seemed a little off.

Should I be worried?

No.

I just didn't get a lot of

sleep with the move and all.

The diner has me on a

4-hour shift for my first day.

So I should be home by 2:00.

OK.

Please stay out of trouble.

Mom.

[music starts]

DONNA: Bring me some.

Come on.

[sighs]

[thud]

Why don't you

make yourself useful

and go and find me

some damn milk?

Now!

[music playing]

[sigh]

[music continues]

[thud]

Well, tonight I was

going to make a chili,

but you should come by

anyhow and I can make

you a little something extra.

You best watch yourself

around an officer of the law.

Do you know...

Best believe it.

Dammit, Lucas!

Look what you done did.

Come here.

Look at me.

You better quit

embarrassing me.

Now go give me a

new loaf of bread.

Go!

Ugh!

[suspenseful music]

[punching]

[rustling]

Oh.

[dinging]

Your total comes to 2.28.

Those beans are on sale.

Buy one get one free.

[light music plays]

[cash register opens]

2.10.

That's right.

Got some change

in here somewhere.

You got change?

Oh.

Thank you, good looking.

Excuse me, my son has

a staring problem today.

Just like his mama.

What'd you say?

2:10.

[dings]

It's so peaceful out here.

What are you doing here?

I couldn't sleep.

What are you doing here?

I couldn't sleep either.

My mama got someone over.

Sometimes I just don't

want to be home no more.

Yeah, I feel like

that sometimes too.

But I've never

had a place to go.

You could always come

down here, you know.

We have a place

to go and all.

It's nice to have somewhere

to go, especially with a friend.

I know you don't really

have a lot of friends.

I mean, it's OK.

I... I really don't have

any friends either.

You're actually

my first real friend.

Sorry.

So does that mean you've

never had a boyfriend either?

No.

Me neither.

A girlfriend, I mean.

What if maybe I

was your girlfriend?

Yeah?

Yeah.

Does that mean

you want to kiss?

I mean, I guess.

We don't have to.

No!

We should.

What now?

We should do something

that proves we really

are boyfriend and girlfriend.

Well, we did just kiss.

No. I mean...

No, I know.

I want you to have this,

but you have to promise

me that you'll wear it.

It's not exactly

what I meant.

ABIGAIL: Just promise

me that you'll wear it.

It will keep you safe.

Keep me safe from what?

Just promise you'll wear it.

OK.

Promise.

Geez.

What's going to

keep you safe?

You.

What?

You're stronger

than you think.

Ready?

Ready for what?

OK.

[clanging]

OK, your turn.

In together, remember?

[glass breaking]

DAD: sh*t!

Where are you,

you little sh*t?

Are you out here?

OK, let's go!

Let's go!

Let's go.

[yells].

Put your ass

back in the house.

[music playing]

ABIGAIL: I can't believe

you broke his window.

Me neither.

I was aiming for the roof.

Felt good, I bet.

We probably

better get back in.

Yeah.

Tomorrow?

Yeah.

Night.

[door closing]

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Why are you dressed?

I can't do this again, Abby.

Then don't.

Can you leave?

Please?

Mom, I'm leaving.

EVE: Where are you going?

Outside with Lucas.

I am your mother.

And you're going

to listen to me, Abby.

You're not going outside.

Not after the

attitude last night.

You're grounded.

Now, I'm going to need

you to go to your room

and I'm not going

to tell you again.

Or what?

I'm going outside with Lucas.

Where are we going?

Anywhere but here.

Your mom again?

Sometimes all I want

to do is just run away.

Run away?

Well, how are you

going to run away

when you can't

even outrun me?

What?

Come on.

Catch me.

Come on.

Chicken?

You're a drag.

Cheater!

Totally b*at you.

Totally cheated.

Over here.

[suspenseful music]

How come you

hate it here so much?

It's not the town.

It's my mom.

She's always... it doesn't

matter what I do or say.

I always end up being wrong.

Doesn't matter.

So now we're gone.

What about me?

You can come with.

Where will we go?

Anywhere is better than here.

You know, like my dad...

Hey, bud.

What do you want, Daniel?

I know it was one of you.

I know one of you went

and broke my window.

Where are you

going, sh*t stain?

Man, you're bunny ain't going

to save you this time, f*gg*t.

Better leave us alone.

[scoffs]

[grunting]

Hit him, Lucas!

Lucas, hit him again.

[groaning]

You're so f*cking

dead, sh*t stain.

[panting]

ABIGAIL: You OK?

I meant what I said

about running away.

I know.

Abby.

I need your help

with dinner, please.

I have to go.

No.

You don't.

EVE: Abby!

I'm coming.

Bye.

I want to talk to you about

finding a new doctor out here.

Are you serious?

I just saw you with Lucas.

Were you spying on me?

No.

I was gardening.

Why would you do that?

That's what I'm

supposed to do.

You know, it's bad enough

I had to deal with what

happened with your father.

The last thing we need is

some troubled kid next door.

You don't even know

anything about him.

And Lucas is my friend.

Whether you like it or not.

Abby, stop.

Do you think will be

OK with you putting

your hands on me like that?

You know damn well that's what

we came here to get away from.

And whether you like it or not,

your dad's not here anymore.

[suspenseful music]

[bell ringing]

MS. THOMPSON: Listen

up, I'm tired of y'all fooling.

I'm tired of being pregnant.

I'm tired of being here.

Y'all going to

work on them pigs.

And don't ask any questions.

When you're

done, let me know.

I'm tired and I

want to go home.

I thought you

were a tough guy.

Ugh.

Here.

See?

Not so bad.

If you say so.

[coughing]

Ben, go on up to

the nurse's office

till you can

control yourself.

Go on now.

Why do you let him

treat you like that?

Look, can we

just finish this?

No, you don't...

I'm sorry.

I... I didn't

mean to do that.

Whatever.

Ms. Thompson, may I

please use the restroom?

Not unless your pig is done.

But I'm bleeding.

Fine.

Take the hall pass.

Lucas, I'm sorry.

Hey, Ms. Thompson?

MS. THOMPSON: Mm-hmm?

Maybe I ought to

bring Ben his things.

You know, since it

don't seem like he's

coming back anytime soon.

Is your pig done?

Almost.

Just take the hall pass.

And please hurry.

[music playing]

[door slamming]

Where do you think

you're going, f*gg*t?

Where's your bunny now?

You're so dead.

Oh, this is going to be fun.

[whooshing]

[suspenseful music]

[suspenseful music continues]

[upbeat music]

[upbeat music continues]

You two, principal's

office now.

[chattering]

[door closes]

I'm sorry.

I know what I did was wrong,

but I did it for a good reason.

Save it, Abby.

I have to take

you back, Abby.

No.

No, please,

please don't, mom.

I'm sorry, I can't

go back there.

Please, don't.

I have to do something.

If I don't, we both

know how this turns out.

No.

No.

No, it's not like

last time, I swear.

I really was just...

I was trying to help Lucas.

That doesn't explain the

way you've been treating me.

No.

I'm... I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for snapping.

I... I...

I promise I'll do better.

And... and if I don't, then

you can just take me back.

Just let me try.

It's been hard without dad.

OK.

Thank you.

[suspenseful music]

[tires screeching]

What the hell?

[gasp]

[clock ticking]

[music playing]

(SINGING) Remember when

we b*rned together, yeah,

we were twin flames.

Two birds of a feather just

flying around in a golden cage.

But now that I'm free, I can see

everything and it's a new day.

Hey, I'm up and I'm

stuck and I ain't trying

to go back the other way.

If you need me, don't.

And if you want me now.

If you're sitting at home,

want to pick up the phone,

best just leave me alone.

If you need me, don't.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Ready?

I guess.

Were you waiting for me?

What?

No.

Really?

Cause you sure

look ready to go.

- Do you want to go or not?

- Yeah.

Yeah.

Just know as soon as you

admit you were waiting for me.

OK, fine, fine.

I'm sorry.

It's fine.

Forget it.

Thanks.

[footsteps]

[suspenseful music]

[music playing]

[upbeat music starts]

(SINGING) Then I met a

girl with eyes of solid gold.

I met a girl with

eyes of solid gold.

She got dreams in a

pocket and love in a soul.

Love, oh.

This isn't the way.

Yes, it is.

No, it's not.

The pond is over that way.

Yes, it is.

We're not going to the pond.

And where are we going?

I got you something.

Is it in the bag?

You'll see when we get there.

Well, how far is it?

Thought you didn't

like a lot of questions?

I learned it from you.

OK.

Well, we're almost there.

It's just hard to tell.

Everything looks

the same in the dark.

Are you lost?

No.

Now come on.

[chattering]

What?

I thought I heard something.

I don't hear

anything. [chattering]

I told you

someone's out here.

Now, let's go.

Are you scared?

What?

No.

Maybe I just don't want

you to get busted, all right?

Me?

[light cheerful music]

Abby?

What's going on?

I told you, I got

you something.

[muffled yelling]

Shut up!

I said shut up!

[muffled speech]

Why is he like that Abby?

ABIGAIL: Because he's stupid.

A stupid, dumb

bully who thinks it's.

OK to pick on people who

can't do anything about it.

What are you

going to do, Abby?

Open it.

I don't get it.

What is all this stuff?

I'll show you.

We have makeup to make

him look like the little girl

that he is.

We have a camera

to get a picture of it.

And this.

[muffled yelling]

Is to cut him loose

when we're done.

What about these?

Hello?

In case we get hungry, silly.

I... I really shouldn't

have to explain that one.

This doesn't feel right.

Doesn't feel right?

Does it feel right when

he pushes you around?

How about when he

calls you a f*gg*t, Lucas,

does that feel right?

No, but...

We're getting a picture.

That way, if he's ever

mean again to anyone,

we can show the whole

school he's nothing but

a little crying

sissy girl, OK?

And that's why we're going

to be nice from now on.

Huh, little girl?

OK, fine.

If you're not going to

help, I'll just do it myself.

[suspenseful music]

[tape rips]

Ugh.

[laughing]

Who's the bunny now?

Get a good one.

Now, when I let you go,

you're going to be nice.

Right?

Yes.

I swear I'll be nice.

Please, just let me go home.

You're not going to tell

anyone either, are you?

I swear I won't tell anyone.

And it better stay that way.

No, I promise.

I promise I

won't tell anyone.

[suspenseful music]

[suspensful music continues]

[choking]

I'm nobody's bunny.

Abby, stop!

[gasping for air]

[gasping continues]

[heavy breathing]

Why?

Lucas, I had to.

Now help me cut him loose.

Hey, man, I...

Abby, I can't...

I can't be a part of this.

You already are.

Your dad's not

coming back, OK?

Your mom hates you.

It's just you and me now.

Everything will be fine, OK?

We have each other.

In it together, remember?

[laughs]

Now, let's drag him to

the pond and chuck him in.

I told you the crackers

were a good idea.

Now grab a leg.

You're going to have to help.

I can't... I can't

do this by myself.

If I give you a

cr*cker, will you help?

OK.

[suspenseful music]

[thud]

We're never going to make it.

Besides, even if we do,

they're just going to follow

the trail straight there.

But, Abby, we can't

just leave him here.

Yeah.

Sure we can.

Watch.

Abby.

But, Abby, we... we

have to do something.

We are.

We're going to go home.

I meant with the body.

No, we don't.

What if someone finds him?

And if they find

him, they find us.

And so what if they do?

OK, no one will

ever know that it's us.

They'll just probably think it

was some local child molester,

pedophile, or whatever guy.

Stop tripping.

We'll be fine.

[suspenseful music]

[footsteps]

[TV show chatter]

[footsteps]

[gravel crunching]

[door closing]

Hope y'all don't mind.

Thought I'd let myself in.

DONNA: Oh, you can let

yourself in any time you want.

[moaning]

Ain't you going to say hi?

Damn it, Lucas Dean

Wright, you better speak!

Hi.

Now look here, boy.

I'm going to let

that one slide.

But before you know it, I

might be your new daddy.

Things are going to

change around here.

Copy that?

He's not your boy.

Don't talk like.

Don't talk like.

Don't talk like.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

DONNA: Lucas,

go to your room.

Damn it.

I am so sick and tired of

you acting like a little sh*t.

You are going to

go to your and you're

going to stay there

until I decide I'm

ready to deal with you again.

Do you understand me?

Or what?

[knocking]

Hi.

Hi, Ms. Wright.

Is Lucas home?

Yeah, but he can't

come out right now.

He done gone and got

himself into some trouble.

Anyhow, a nice

little girl like you

shouldn't be seeing

a boy like Lucas.

Get on home.

Say, you don't know nothing

about that broken window at the

old Stetson place

now, do you?

No.

Know what?

What's he talking about?

I don't know nothing.

I have half a mind to send

your ass back to your daddy.

Do it then.

[gasps]

You want to be an assh*le?

You done lost your room.

Get in here.

No. No.

No.

DONNA: Shut up.

Please.

Please.

This is your room now.

I wish you were dead!

I hate you.

I hate you!

[sobbing]

[suspensful music]

[whimpering]

You're just like

your father, Lucas.

Go live with your

father, Lucas.

You're a piece

of sh*t, Lucas.

You're a piece of sh*t!

I hate you!

f*gg*t!

Maybe if you weren't

such a p*ssy, none of us

would have to

deal with her sh*t.

Stupid p*ssy!

[sobbing]

Sir.

I got something to

say about that window.

[footsteps]

[door opens]

[door closes]

[door closes]

[low droning]

[suspensful music]

[gravel crunching]

You're right.

I should have said

something sooner.

You're lucky

your mama and I...

Let's just say if it wasn't

me knowing your mama,

you'll be in a whole

different kind of mess.

Sorry, sir.

I knew it was

stupid when I did it.

I was feeling bad.

That's why I said so.

Well, I'm glad you did.

Being able to

take responsibility

for your mistakes, it's the

first step to being a man, son.

But that don't change

the fact you're still going

to be paying for that window.

Yes, sir.

I sure am glad

my mama met you.

It's been pretty hard

for the both of us

ever since my dad left.

It'd be nice to have like

someone around, you know.

Yeah.

Well, not like that.

Come on now, let's

get on out of here.

Get this over with.

Put it behind us.

[suspenseful music]

[footsteps]

Hey, where are you going?

I was just...

I'm going to show you

where I threw the rock from.

That ain't necessary.

Come on, let's

go on and knock.

[low music]

[knocking]

[suspenseful music]

[thud]

Ah!

Ah!

[g*nshots]

[suspenseful music]

[heavy breathing]

What the hell are you doing?

I slipped on some

mud on the way back

and I tried to wash

it off because I don't

want to make

no mess in there.

Then what do you call this?

I'll go grab a towel

and clean it up.

Yeah, you're

damn right you will.

And now.

Not an hour from now.

And get them

jeans in the wash.

Wait, hold on.

What kind of mud

you done slipped in?

You know what, I don't

even want to hear it.

Go get in the house.

Yes, ma'am.

REPORTER ON TV: In

other news, a small town

is reeling after the

discovery of two bodies today.

One was identified as

a local sheriff's deputy.

The other was a 42-year-old

man whose teenage son

had been missing

for two days.

Police and volunteers

continue to search

the woods near

Telegraph Road for the boy.

Thanks.

REPORTER ON TV: If anyone

has any information regarding

the missing teen, they

are urged to contact their

local authorities

immediately.

No other family

has stepped forward

with any information

regarding the boy or his father.

Other classmates have

shared their sentiments,

saying that Daniel

was always a bit rough,

but they often felt

sad for his situation

and hoped to see him

safely back at school.

EVE: I was just thinking

about when you were little.

How I used to hold

you, keep you safe.

How I used to think no matter

what happens in this world,

I'd always be there

to keep you safe.

What you drinking?

Nothing, honey.

Doesn't look like nothing.

You know alcohol

can k*ll you, right?

A lot of things

can k*ll you, Abby.

[radio playing]

[thud]

[snipping]

[g*n cocks]

Something has

to be done, Abby.

It has to be this way.

I can't sit by and

watch it happen.

You have no idea

the pain I deal with.

And it's not just me, Abby.

Think of the pain and the

hurt you and your father

caused those poor families.

And it's so hard knowing

no matter what I do,

you'll never be

able to change.

That's who you are.

But it ends today.

[g*nsh*t]

[suspensful music]

Please, help me.

My... my mom

just sh*t herself.

I live at 415 Mayfair...

No, no, she's...

She's not breathing.

Please, help me.

No.

No, I don't.

Please hurry.

Please.

DONNA: What are

these potatoes doing

all over the floor in here?

Are you even listening to me?

Lucas Dean!

g*dd*mn it, Lucas!

What kind of hell of a

mess is this anyhow?

Clean this sh*t up!

I'll show you.

This is what you want

to spend your time doing?

I mean, that little bag ain't

going to save you from what I'm

about to do to

your little ass.

[suspenseful music]

[suspenseful music continues]

[crunching]

I'm sorry, but

your mama, she...

Well, she didn't make it.

Now, I know this ain't

going to be easy and...

And believe me, this...

This ain't something

I want to be doing, but,

well, I got to ask, did...

Did your mama say anything?

She just kept saying that

she shouldn't have done it.

That she shouldn't

have k*lled them.

She said that she was sorry.

And then she...

and then she...

[sobbing]

Why would she do

something like this?

I've been doing this

a long time, Abby,

and all I can tell you is

that sometimes people just

ain't who they seem.

Sheriff.

In a minute, Garrett.

Is there... is there someone

we can call for you?

Maybe a family

member that's close by.

One of the other policemen

already called my grandma.

They said she's on the way.

All right then.

Well, I'll be right here

with you till they get here.

Ms. Wright said that I

could go stay at her place

until she gets

here, if that's OK?

Well, I'm not sure

that's such a...

It would make me

feel a lot better if I could

be with a friend right now.

I reckon that'll

be all right.

But... but I'll be right out

here in case you need me.

All right?

Go on.

Head over.

Yes, sir.

No, go on, keep it.

But when your grandma gets here,

I need to talk to her quick.

And then I'll send her over.

Thank you.

[sobbing]

[light music]

[door unlocking]

Let me in.

[police radio]

What's going on over there?

Just let me in.

OK.

[light music]

We got to go.

Yeah.

No sh*t.

Sheriff Moxey to dispatch.

OFFICER ON RADIO:

Go for dispatch.

We're going to need

all available units

out here at Mayfair Avenue.

OFFICER ON RADIO:

Copy that, Sheriff.

It's a 4-17 this time.

Looks like we got

us another body.

We also got two missing

children, one boy and one girl.

So let's get an APB out with

a checkpoint on the roads,

say within about

30 miles or so.

OFFICER ON

RADIO: State troopers.

Someone's bound to drive

past soon and pick us up.

I don't think

anyone's coming.

[laughs]

What's so funny?

That's what started all this.

What's that?

You throwing rocks.

Hey, look.

Now what?

Do you know how to drive?

What?

Well, if they're dead, they're

not going to need their van.

OK, let's go.

Get in the van.

Please, don't hurt him.

I said, get in the van.

[suspenseful music]

[door slams]

[suspenseful music continues]

[door slams]

[gravel crunching]

Driver, put your hands

outside the window.

ABIGAIL: Help, please!

Please, help!

Kids, slowly exit the

vehicle and walk towards me.

Driver, do not move.

Thank you.

Step aside.

Get inside the vehicle.

You'll be safe there.

Driver, put your hands

outside the window,

open the door

from the outside.

[suspenseful music]

Now put your hands behind your

head, interlock your fingers,

and drop to your knees.

Get your hands up!

I will sh**t.

Get your hands up, I said.

[g*nsh*t]

[suspenseful music plays]

[screeching]

[shotgun racks]

[upbeat music]

Abigail.

Dad!

I knew you could do it.

Come here.

In it together?

In it together.

Get in the van.

[upbeat music continues]

Dad, spill it.

Go ahead, Lucas.

Stop tripping.

We'll be fine.

[suspenseful music]

If you're going to

k*ll me, do it already.

That hole is never

going to work.

Grab the bat, let's go,

if you want my help.

Why are you helping me?

I'm not.

I'm helping the person

who gave you that necklace.

I want you to have

this, but you have

to promise me

that you'll wear.

Abby's my daughter.

My daughter.

I told you it would

keep you safe.
