I've been busy.

Busy with what?

Cleaning.

I really want to see you.

Well, it's late and I'm tired.

Wish you were here.

I'll see you at school

tomorrow, right?

- I don't know.

- Jade, you have to go.

If you don't, we'll look bad.

Yeah, all right.

Good.

I'll see you tomorrow?

I love you.

- Hey.

- Hey.

I missed you last night.

I told you, I was tired.

Yeah, I know.

I'm not letting you

off the hook tonight.

Good morning, everyone.

Okay, I'm done, whatever.

Ms. Thompson,

where's your sidekick today?

What, no excuses lined up

for your best friend?

May I help you?

Yeah, this is the police.

We need to talk to Jade

and Ashley.

Jade, Ashley,

go with the principal

to the office, please.

So you say she told

you she was running away.

Yeah.

Was she upset?

Totally, I mean,

she thought her parents

were being real jerks

for grounding her.

How long have you known Sara?

Since the sixth grade.

Sounds like

a pretty good friend.

Not really, I don't know her

that well.

But what I do know is that

she was having

some problems at home,

like with her dad and stuff.

So you really think

she ran away.

Jade?

I don't... I don't know.

Um, sorry, I'm not feeling well.

So you don't believe she did?

For sure she did.

I mean, she did it before,

right?

- What did you say?

- Nothing.

Well, you better have said

you talked to Sara, did you?

Yes, all right, I said

everything I was supposed to.

Now leave me alone.

- What?

- You heard me.

- What's wrong with you?

- I'm done.

I can't do this anymore.

Don't you walk away

from me, Jade!

Jade, you have

to tell me the truth.

I know something is up here.

Is this true?

Are you telling me everything?

Hey, can I help you?

Hi, I'm Lana Cowan, Sara's mom.

Tina Tralman.

Would you have a minute to talk?

- Yeah, sure, come on in.

- Thanks.

I don't know if Ashley told you,

but Sara's missing.

Missing?

Yeah, she never came home

Saturday night.

I had no idea.

Have you called the police?

Yes, I have.

They've put homicide on it.

I'm so sorry.

If there's anything I can do...

Maybe you can tell me where

Ashley was Saturday night.

Ashley, what does

Ashley have to do with this?

She said Sara called Jade

while they were here

and told them

she was running away.

I just find it hard to believe

that Jade wouldn't tell me that.

I mean, Sara and Jade are

best friends.

I just thought maybe if I knew

all three of them went out,

that I would have a clearer

picture of what happened.

Did Ashley and Jade

go out Saturday night?

Go back to sleep, Mom.

Tina.

I'm sorry, what was that?

Did the girls

go out Saturday night?

- No, we didn't.

- Hi, Ashley.

Ashley, you never told me

your friend Sara was missing.

You mean ran away?

I didn't think

it was a big deal.

She did it before, right?

So, uh, why do you want to know

where I was Saturday night?

Are you like interrogating

my mother or something?

I'm just trying

to get all the facts

so I can understand

what happened.

Well, uh,

to answer your question,

I didn't go out Saturday night.

I know Jade did, though,

to go out and meet Sara.

Yeah, she said she wanted

to talk to her,

you know, about

the whole running-away thing.

But I know that she came back

here later.

My mom saw her come in.

Right, mother?

Yeah, yeah, that's right.

Why didn't Jade tell me that?

I don't know.

I guess she swore

not to say anything.

Thank you.

It's nice to meet you.

- Oh, Mrs. Cowan?

- Yes?

Do me a favor.

Don't come back

to my house again.

Hey, J Jade.

Oh..

What i is it??

erythining okay??

Did d Saral you?

No, but I know where she is.

Where is she?

Jade, where is she?

Jade, what are you doing here?

What's going on?

She knows where Sara is.

You do?

Jade, talk to me, where's Sara?

Where's Sara?!

Ashley killed her.

She...

she killed her.

You're lying.

She's in a warehouse downtown

30 minutes from here.

Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.

All right, get in the car.

- I...

- Get in the car!

Lana, call the police.

- Sara!

- Where is she?

- Where is she?

- Where is she?

Sara!

Let me go!

No!

Sara!

Let me go!

- Come on.

- Sara!

Oh, my God.

Sara, no!

- Mrs. Cowan...

- Oh, my God!

Please, please.

Oh, my God!

Oh, oh, my God!

Turn to the left.

Turn to the right.

Face front.

Mr. and Mrs. Cowan,

we've taken Jade into custody,

and she's been charged

with Sara's murder.

So what do we do now?

We'll be sending search teams

to both Jade and Ashley's homes.

In the meantime,

we'll be bringing Ashley in

for questioning.

Jade isn't lying.

It was Ashley.

I know it was.

Where is she?

Where's Jade?!

- You son of a b*tch.

- Paul.

Now you're the concerned father?

Where the hell was he when your

daughter was out killing mine?

Hey, my Sara was

out there for two days alone,

and your daughter said nothing,

nothing!

Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

- Paul, calm down!

- What?

I don't think

it'd be very fair to your wife

to get charged with assault.

Not now.

- Let's go.

- Come on.

Mom?

What?

You remember what we said?

- Hi, can I help you?

- Ms. Tralman?

- Yes?

- I'm Detective Patty Gains.

I have a warrant to search

your house,

and I need to take your

daughter in for questioning.

What?

Make sure you bring me

any photos, any journals,

anything that puts the two girls

together, okay?

- Detective?

- Yeah.

We found this hidden behind

the desk in the back bedroom.

I can't do this.

I can't.

How could she take her from us?

How could she?

I don't know.

God, and to think everything

you've done for Jade,

and then she...

It's not Jade.

It's Ashley.

So now you tell us

Jade went out with Sara.

Why didn't you tell us

this before?

Jade asked me

not to say anything.

She was afraid of getting

in trouble,

you know, with Sara's mom.

I just didn't want to butt in.

I mean, Jade was Sara's friend.

Can you think of any reason

why Jade would want to hurt Sara

if they were such good friends?

I don't know.

I mean, Jade was upset because

of her dad and everything.

She did tell me that

Sara always thought

that she was better than her.

Seriously, I wish I'd never even

transferred to that school.

How do we know

that you didn't go with Jade

to meet up with Sara?

You can ask my mom.

I was home all night.

Can anybody else verify that?

No, but my mom wouldn't lie.

Well, I think

that's enough questions.

Can I go home now?

No, I'm afraid we're gonna

have to keep you here overnight.

Why?

Your attorney

will explain everything.

Let's go, Ashley.

Well...

There sure is something off

about that kid.

Okay, all right, thanks.

Let us know what else

you can find.

I will.

That was Detective Gains.

The evidence came back.

They found the knife.

The blood was Sara's.

I knew it.

I knew it was Ashley.

You should see that girl,

Paul, she...

Lana, they found the knife

at Jade's, not Ashley's.

That's not possible.

They also found

Sara's blood in Jade's car.
