in my house.

In your house?

Yes, my house.

You're house?

Yes, my house.

I thought it was out house.

I thought we were a family.

No more? Yeah, you

little f***ing b*tch.

Hey, mark.

Can you... yeah...

Yeah! You like that?

Oh, yeah!

Hey, wake up!

Take that!

Wait! Wait!

Jack. Jack!

Mom.

Hey, mom.

You alright?

Mom, you wanna go to bed?

Hey.

Hey.

Oh.

You wanna go to bed?

Yeah, come on.

Lets go.

Do you wanna cuddle?

I got to go to school.

Yeah.

Alright.

You're such a good boy.

Do you want

to go to prom with me?

Jamie west already asked me.

I told you someone

was gonna ask.

What'd you say?

I said yes.

That's great.

How's your mom?

She'll be fine.

He's probably just

running a little late.

What time is it, dad?

Nine.

I am gonna go.

Can I have the keys?

I can drive you.

No, it's fine.

Thanks.

Hey.

Aren't you supposed

to be at prom?

Yeah, I guess I got

left at the altar.

Can I come in?

Oh, no, yeah, of course.

Yeah.

Wait, what happened?

I don't know, I guess

Jamie just never showed up.

Probably took Katie or someone.

I am so sorry.

What the f***.

You have anything to drink?

Yeah, orange juice, do

you want some milk?

A drink, yeah.

That... that will

be right by it.

Jamie is an idiot,

don't even worry about it.

I'm going outside.

Wait.

So he cornered me

in the cafeteria,

like we barely hung out,

we skated like...

Twice before. He's been at my house once.

I barely know this guy.

But he comes up and says,

"we have a mission."

So I... we both

run up to the...

To the janitor's closet...

My parents are a little bit

crazy, so I apologize in advance.

I was wondering about

how mark took the split

between you and Karen.

I mean from all accounts

he and Jack had become

incredibly close.

They lived in the same room

they were best friends,

they went to the same school.

Really?

So how did mark feel about being

pulled from school?

What do you want me to say?

Huh?

He hated it.

He hated me.

But he got over it.

It had to happen.

He came to realize that.

I put him to work.

When you say it had to happen

you're referring to you...

Leaving Karen's house?

Was that more to do

with you and Karen

or it had more to do

with Jack and mark?

No, no! I... just f***.

I mean... yes.

Yes. Karen and me.

That's it.

Are we almost f***ing done?

Because I got a million

other things to do today.

Yeah, I think she liked it.

Where did you bring her?

Washington park.

Class.

What?

Were you aiming for the ground?

You know, what we called her

when we went to school there?

What?

Fingers.

Why?

She got caught fingering

herself in science class.

Shut up!

Through your f***ing

anatomy lesson.

I swear to god.

Oh, my god.

F***ing bull sh*t.

I sweat to god. The whole

class could f***ing smell it.

What the hell, man?

What are you gonna do, huh?

F*** you, man.

Yeah.

I'll call the f***ing police.

Know to flop?

Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, sh*t.

It's Jack.

I guess that's Sarah.

Mark.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey, Sarah.

How you doing?

Good.

Hey, what?

Too good to say a hi

to an old friend.

Sarah, let's get outta here.

Yo. We gotta go.

Mark, come with us.

Come on, come on, come on.

Come on, come on, come on.

Sarah's pretty cute.

You think?

Oh, newspaper.

Newspaper.

Hey, what's going on?

Clinton. Oh.

Did you ever...

What?

F*** her? Did you

ever f*** her?

No. No, man,

it was just...

We were just friends, you know.

I f*** my friends.

Well, I think she

is a little young for you.

No.

Fence. This is our dice.

Lucky dice.

What about Jack?

Your brother, half brother,

something like that?

Oh, we got something

in here, man.

It looks pretty...

Oh, my f***ing god.

Bro, it's spinning.

Oh, my god... I don't

know what the f***...

Give me this thing.

What the... oh, sh*t.

Yo! Someone's

coming out.

Someone's coming.

This is me, man.

Ah, very nice.

All right, man, good night.

Yeah.

See you later.

This here is detective Erickson.

He wants to know what

you've been up to tonight.

Good morning.

Okay, Sarah,

we're almost done here,

and I thank you for being

so patient and so helpful.

Just a couple of more

questions, okay?

Okay.

When mark was gone

you and Jack, started dating.

Yeah.

Yeah, we did. Didn't

really workout though.

It was kinda nice...

To, you know, around be

together for a little bit.

How long did that last?

Not very long.

Who called it off?

You don't love me, right?

Sure I do.

But you're not

in love with me though.

Right?

No, I don't think so.

Yeah, I don't think so either.

Well, we tried.

Yeah.

Hey.

Do you mind if I

tried with other people?

No. Of course not.

I really want you to be happy.

I want you to be happy too.

Thanks.

Jack, help me fill some of

these holes in, will you?

Yeah.

You and mark stopped seeing each

other after he and tom left.

But obviously he found

his way back into your life.

Yeah.

And what brought you

guys back together?

We just ran into each other.

One night after the gas station.

And tom had said he wasn't allowed

to hang out with those other guys.

It's just kind of the same

sh*t he pulled with me.

So I guess mark was kinda...

Actually he was lonely.

I don't mind the actual work.

I sort of like it.

It's just...

It's just he wants

me to, you know...

F*** that.

Yeah.

So I've just been like...

You know, getting

out every night,

trying not to be around.

I felt... felt bad...

For running away

the other night.

Things got pretty crazy.

You hear about it?

Yeah, I think

everybody heard about it.

It's pretty cool.

Jack.

I've been thinking

a lot about...

Told you he'd be here.

Race you.

Not fair.

Hello, Jack.

How's it going?

Hey.

Hey.

You tried to drop in yet?

No.

No?

Not today.

I don't know, man.

Today is the day.

What are you writing down?

Hey, Jack, with all due respect,

I am asking the questions.

And how did you hear

about the accident?

Jack called me.

From the hospital he told me...

What did he tell you?

He told me about the accident.

And what did he say...

Exactly what... can you

remember?

He was... he was crying,

he was upset, he said...

He said mark had fallen...

And hit his head.

And that he didn't

wake up, he was uh...

He was... he just didn't

know what to do.

He said he just fell down,

it was a freak thing, you know.

Was mark a good skater?

Yeah, I mean

he was better than Jack.

But it was common

for him to fall a lot?

Yeah, I guess it's part

of the thing.

What thing?

Skateboarding.

So when he had the accident...

I didn't see it.

But you know what happened?

I didn't see everything.

Sarah, I need

you to tell me everything,

that you saw.

Exactly how you saw it.

Okay? And you need

to keep in mind,

that if you lie to me,

you could be in a lot

of trouble.

Even for the littlest things.

Hey.

Hey.

Jack.

What are you guys doing here?

Good to see you, dude.

What's up?

Is something wrong?

We just thought
