Falsely Accused

---

Help!

I'll go get the doctor.

[DEEP BREATH]

I gotta go.

Oh, my God!

Oh, thank you, God.

It's your brother.

It's Skylar.

Skylar! No.

I wouldn't be surprised if

she killed her brother.

Considering.

I mean,

she looks like a killer.

NO!!!

No...

None of this is your fault.

Get these off of me.

You gotta be quiet until

your lawyer comes, okay?

- A lawyer.

- Shh...

You better lock her up for this.

She stole a gun from my house.

Skylar was found with four

bullet holes in his chest,

a mile away from where

you crashed.

You did this!

Please. Don't even start

with that.

You were there, Jake,

you know it wasn't me.

I know that you didn't kill

Skylar. I know it.

Okay, but you have to be

very quiet...

Were you drinking last night?

Screw you, Jake, you

know I was sober!

Then why were you driving so

erratically from the party?

All I know is one minute,

things were like any other

party I've been to.

Kids raging out. Loud music

and booze. Harmless sh*t.

I'm out on the porch. Been

out there all of two minutes

and I see this girl leaving

the party. Upset.

No, she wasn't carrying a gun.

Jesus. What. Jake?

What are you doing here?

Sorry, Shelly. I just wanted to

make sure everything was okay.

You freaked me out.

Everything's fine.

What are you doing sneaking

around out here?

I'm not sneaking around. I came

for a noise complaint and I saw

you out here on the road and I

thought something was wrong.

Oh. I'm here on standby.

I'm Skylar's D.D.

I'm not here by choice.

I'm gonna pretend I

didn't hear that.

Underage drinking is major

problem, Shelly.

Now, it's my duty to...

[NOISE]

Did you hear that?

You're not... you're not

scared, are you?

What, me? Who's scared.

Ok. Just-- you-- stay here...

Smooth. Sticking right here.

[SPRAY PAINTING]

[PARTY CHATTER]

Whoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo!

Boys, boys, boys, this right

here is my inheritance.

Wow, that is nice. Dude.

Check that out.

Take a swig of that right there.

A little bit of moonshine.

[MUMBLES AND LAUGHTER]

These are so expensive.

Put a little hair on your

chest right there.

Who's there?

I knew you were scared.

Jesus, Shelly, I told

you to wait.

Don't you listen to anyone?

Hey man. Turn 'em.

Turn 'em?

Dude, these things are awesome.

I can see clear as day

through these.

Damn right.

We're all sorts of ready for

the Chinese invasion.

[LAUGHTER]

Oh dude... Twelve O'clock.

Oh, I see em.

Yea. Got em? Got eyes?

[GUNSHOT]

Nice. Good call. Good call.

You see somethin'?

Got eyes. Got eyes for you.

Where?

MUSIC:

See? Told you that it

was nothing.

Hey.

No, no, no, don't run.

Stop!

[BODY FALL]

[SCREAM]

Oh my God.

Help!

Hey man, I think I just

heard your sister.

Really?

Yeah.

Yeah, I did.

You sure?

Yeah.

Shelly?

[VOMIT]

Dude, she drank way too much.

Sh... Shelly...

Get in the truck.

Shelly, are you okay?

No, I'm not okay.

Get in the truck.

We have to get out of

here right now.

Dude, she's totally off

her face, man.

If you stay here, you die.

Get in the truck.

Okay, let's just go,

let's go. Come on!

[TRUCK DOOR SLAMS]

[TRUCK STARTS]

Dude, what's going on?

I don't know, I have no clue.

Shelly, tell us what's going

on. What happened?

Dude, where are we going?

Shelly! I have no clue, man.

Shelly!

[WHIMPERING]

Oh my God.

Shell, where are we going?

Shelly. Shelly!

Where are you taking us, Shelly?

Pull over, Shelly.

Shelly!

[HITS TRUCK]

Shut up!

You need to slow down.

Where are we going?

Oh my god.

I need somewhere safe.

[HEAVY BREATHING]

[CAR SLAMS ON BRAKES]

No, please, no, no!

Where did you get the

unregistered hunting rifle?

They're Gus and

Jeremy Lambert's.

You should be questioning the

Lamberts, not her.

It's time for you to go.

Go... go...

Jake, it's time for you to go!

Go!

That's it. Go. Come on.

Right now. You go. Leave!

[DOOR OPEN]

[SOBBING] Get these off of me.

[DOOR CLOSE]

[SNIFFLE]

I can't believe that we're

burying you, Sky.

You know they all think

that I did it.

But, I would never hurt you.

It should be me in that

casket, Sky. Not you.

It should be me.

We're gonna get you home

and you're gonna

get some sleep, okay?

[SNIFFLE]

MUSIC:

Jeremy, can I talk to you?

I'll catch up with you.

I know you still hold a lot

of anger towards Shelly.

And?

Have you been drinking?

What do you want?

You can't keep blaming Shelly.

Your family never quits.

Not even when we're burying

your nephew can you keep your

God damned opinions to yourself!

Jeremy,

if you forgive her, the Lord

will surely forgive you.

Is that all?

[DOG PANTING]

Hey, boy. It's you, again.

You just can't learn to

stay away, can you?

[HEAVY WIND THROUGH STALKS]

Hey.

Jesus, Gus.

Just got back in town. I wasn't

expecting company.

I was just around.

You know, Shelly. You just need

something, you can just knock.

And Jeremy's not home.

He's out on the combine.

Besides, he ain't going nowhere

with nobody after that party.

Dead kids,

guns missing,

cops everywhere.

I didn't mean it like that.

Should never of happened.

What should have never

happened, Gus?

You know...

about Skyler.

So you do know his name?

He's not just some dead kid?

Yeah, I know his name.

I'm sorry.

Who's upstairs, Gus?

Nobody.

I told you...

Where are you going?

I told you Jeremy's not here.

What are you talking about?

He's not here.

What... What are you doing?

You don't just barge

into my house.

Get your hands off of me!

I'm not the, I'm not the, look,

you gotta get out--

Get your hands off!

[KICK GROIN]

[GRAB RIFLE]

You get outta here before I

put a bullet in you!

You don't scare me, Gus.

I know she's upstairs.

I saw her.

[C*CKS RIFLE]

Another step and I'll put you

right where you belong.

Next to your brother.

Try me.

You are crazy.

[POLICE SIRENS]

Just like everyone says.

You are crazy.

[SIRENS CONTINUE]

[CARS APPROACH]

Well, there ya go.

I got a trespasser right here!

[RIFLE DOWN]

[YANKS HANDCUFFS]

Did you call my Aunt yet?

No answer.

Now, keep quiet

until we come get you!

I kept quiet all night.

You have to call my aunt.

[YANKS HANDCUFFS]

Can I at least get some Advil?

[LAUGHING]

You can't just put innocent

people in jail.

Innocent?

That's funny.

[LAUGHTER]

Oh, keep laughing.

Karma's a b*tch.

You better get

comfortable, Shelly.

Breaking and entering.

Good one. Thanks for that.

[DOOR CREAKS OPEN]

What's her bail?

Ten percent of the bail

amount, which is...

five hundred.

Done.

You sure you wanna do that?

And you are?

Her loan shark.

Not a smart move, Buddy.

Not smart at all.

So, where do I sign?

Right there.

Let's get out of here.

Seriously,

I don't even

know who you are.

Well, you could find

out or you could

hang around here with

these morons.

[DOOR CLOSE]

[CAR APPROACH]

Nice ride.

It's uh... you know,
