Oh, my God.

Jess told me that he is,

like, way into Ella.

Ugh, can you say "slut"?

- I heard she gave him a blumpie.

- Ew.

Boys are disgusting.

And that guy, Nick,

he thinks he's all, like,

"Look at me; I'm so beautiful. "

- I think he's kind of cute.

- No, no.

I mean, he's kind of hot,

but he's not God's gift. No.

I heard he hooked up with Michelle.

No, he did not!

He totally did, like, for real.

Funny.

School night. Bedtime.

But I'm studying with Lisa.

Hey.

Hey, Lis, where's that big party

this weekend?

Looks like she signed off.

Ooh, shocker.

Hey, isn't it past your bedtime?

Night, sweetie.

- I love you, sweetie.

- Love you.

- Good night.

- Mwah.

- Night, honey.

- Night.

Hi.

Shh.

Oh, my gosh, that's so cool!

I was standing next to Chris

in science class today,

and he turned, and he looked at me,

out of the corner of his eye,

but I knew, I knew he was

looking right at me.

So then we start talking

about something.

I don't know. It was really silly.

And then we just, like,

started talking about lunch and stuff.

But it was really nice.

And then he asked me,

"Did you do the homework?"

And I said, "Yeah. "

And he said, "Can I copy it?"

And I said, "Yeah. "

I almost died.

I'm gonna have to call you back.

Bye.

Jake?

Jake?

Dad?

Mom?

Do what I say, and you live.

I'm going to kill your mother

or your father.

You have 60 seconds to decide.

No!

Choose,

or I kill them both.

I can't! I can't!

Then that is your choice,

and they both die.

No, no, no, no!

No!

Choose!

Me, me, me, me, me!

Kill me!

Something to add, Dad?

Please!

Please calm down!

I will give you whatever you want.

Please don't hurt my family!

Come here, Jake.

All right, look.

Okay, okay.

You can do it. Choose me.

Just choose me.

Otherwise he's gonna kill

our whole family.

Please, just be brave and choose me.

Please, no.

I can't, Daddy.

Yes, you can.

Yes, you can.

Choose!

He's gonna kill us all if you don't.

You can do it!

All right, my father.

My father!

What?

Please. Come on, now.

That a girl. That a girl.

My father!

Oh, Daddy, I'm sorry!

Okay, that's okay.

All right.

I love you, Daddy!

And you will have to do the dirty work.

Pick it up!

You can do it.

Be brave. Come on, sweetie.

I can't.

Your choices have ramifications, Daddy.

Now!

I can't! I can't!

You can do it. You can do it.

Now!

- I can't!

- Do it.

Yes, you can, please!

Daddy!

Do it now!

Come on. That a girl.

- Daddy!

- Damn it, do it now!

Yes, Sara!

Do it!

Now, God damn it!

Do it now!

Daddy!

CHOOSE:

Sheriff's deputies began

a search this morning

for two men who went missing

on the lake yesterday.

The sheriff says a family member

reported the 19-year-old and 20-year-old

missing early this morning.

The two men whose names

are not being released yet

were last seen camping

in the area of the lake.

Investigators said a canoe

was missing from the shoreline.

The Sheriff's Department

and New York State Police

are helping in the search.

We have a crew headed to the scene,

and we'll bring you more information

as it becomes available.

Thank you, Sandy.

The victim was 57-year-old

defense attorney Elliot Vincent.

Police sources say the suspect

bound and gagged

Vincent and his wife.

Then they say the suspect made

Vincent's teenage daughter

choose which parent should die,

threatening to kill the entire family

if she didn't.

Police describe the alleged

killer as a Caucasian male,

approximately six feet tall,

wearing a dark hooded

sweatshirt and knit cap.

Vincent was best known for his role

in the highly publicized

Wilshire Barrett case.

That case involved alleged sexual abuse

in several state-run

correctional facilities

throughout the county.

- Oh, God!

- Jesus!

What the hell's the matter with you?

You scared the sh*t out of me!

Well, you left your door open.

Are you okay?

And you're certain

that the door was locked?

Positive. I had just checked it.

Okay, 'cause there's no sign

of forced entry.

So you don't believe me?

I'm not saying that.

The door was locked.

Ever since this article came out,

I've had, like, 50 phone calls

down at the station,

everybody in varying degrees

of hysteria.

Oh, Dad.

I know what you're thinking.

Little Fiona living all alone

with a overactive

reporter's imagination.

Easy, easy, okay?

We'll dust for prints.

We'll investigate.

It's just- you want my gut on this?

I think it's one of your stupid friends.

I don't have friends that

will pull a prank like that.

Okay, what about Paul?

He's harmless.

Okay, I give up.

I'm sorry. I'll take it more seriously.

In fact, why don't you sleep

at home tonight?

For security reasons:

popcorn, old movies.

Dad, I lost the pigtails years ago:

Mm-hmm.

I'm getting my masters in June.

Not if I talk to your professors

and they agree to flunk you.

Just dust for prints.

Please?

Okay.

Let's talk about this

for a moment, though,

the scanner you're not supposed to have.

I know.

I just like to keep track of you.

Of me?

Not of your next story, big headlines?

All you, all the time.

All right.

Then clearly you won't mind

that I dusted for prints,

because as you mentioned-

Oh, jeez. Hold on.

Go for Wagner.

Yeah.

Uh-huh.

Ouch.

Okay.

Yeah.

I have to go.

I'll take this for prints.

- Is everything all right?

- Yeah, everything's fine.

Just a domestic disturbance

kind of thing.

I'll see you soon.

My mom would get the axe.

She spends every dime of my inheritance

without my old man keeping tabs on her.

I don't know. I guess my dad?

Or sh*t, maybe my mom.

You know what? Forget this.

I don't even want to think about it.

What about you, Fiona?

Which one would you choose?

You are such a dumb-ass.

Hello?

Sh*t, I-I spaced. I'm sorry, Fi.

I'm sorry.

Oh, look at that.

Not having a mom has its advantages.

How about this one?

You have to sleep with that guy or me?

- Choose.

- Ooh, tough one.

- I feel your pain, Fi.

- You have to choose.

You have a gun to your head.

I don't, and I won't.

Choose.

Jesus, Paul, back off, why don't you?

I'm just kidding. God.

Look, guys, I got to go.

Well, South Bat tonight?

No, I don't know.

I got to finish my paper.

Blah, blah, blah.

Just get your ass there, okay?

Idiot.

Go by Jefferson Hall.

#

A little less staccato

in that last measure.

Otherwise, very nice.

Bravo.

I will see you all one hour

before the performance tomorrow.

David, would it be all right

if I hang back for a while

and run through it on my own?

By all means.

You're coming along nicely, by the way.

Late bloomer, I guess.

Mind the house lights when you leave.

Hello?

Who-who's there?

Thank you.

Um, I was just leaving.

Sorry.

Oh.

Hello?

I just wanted to practice the end,

but I'm done, so it's fine.

David?

Is that you?

Hello?

Hey!

Stop screwing around!

Hey!

I'm still in here.

Come on, open up.

Who is that?

slam!

Oh, God.

Who's that? Who are you?

I'm a member of the orchestra.
