I think he's stalking her.

Now he's trying to put

the blame on me.

I've always helped Travis,

but I'm not going down for this.

Look at this wall.

How sick and demented are you to

come up with something like this?

I mean, the guy's a sociopath.

There's Naomi. Oh, my God.

Look what he did to her face.

Who would do something like this?

This isn't a sane person.

- Where is he?

- He bolted.

Go out there, see if you can find him.

You want me to take this down?

Let me keep it.

Wait, you don't need this.

I mean, this is mine. It's my brush.

I want to find Travis.

He's got a very interesting hobby.

But you know what I see?

I see someone who had a motive.

I can put him

at the scene of the crime.

His fingerprints are there,

and he's got a scratch on his face.

The dead girl's got skin

underneath her fingernails.

And I'm betting that the DNA

from your hair, it's gonna match.

Get out of my face.

I can't touch you without a warrant...

...but it won't be hard to get one.

I'm gonna leave a car out front.

Don't try to go anywhere.

Son of a b*tch!

Come on. Come on.

Where are you going?

Hey!

I'm going skiing in Switzerland,

thanks to you.

Planting that picture

in my sock drawer...

...that was a super idea.

I was gonna tell them.

Then I woke up.

You must think I'm stupid.

That was your idea, your plan,

to make them think I did it.

I betrayed you?

- Perfect.

- You get away with everything!

What is that?

You're not getting away

with it this time, man!

Get inside!

You're a freak.

Yeah, I'm a freak!

I'm crazy! I'm a menace!

Is that right?

Get inside!

- What's the point?

- Get inside!

What's the point of this? I'm not

going to jail! They got no case.

That's why you're running, right?

In the hands of a really expensive

lawyer, it'll all go to sh*t.

Derrick! I saw Travis. He has a gun.

- Thanks for the news.

- Shut up!

- Sit down.

- What are you doing?

- He was gonna get away.

- I didn't do anything!

Derrick, shut up.

Give me the gun.

You know he killed her.

I know if you shoot him,

they'll arrest you.

Are you listening to me?

Put it down!

No, then he will get away with it.

Well, then let him.

Travis, we don't need to be

a part of this anymore.

I know you.

You can be better than he is.

Travis, put it down.

Come on.

Call somebody.

911, Travis.

Look at me. You'll be okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

Breathe, breathe.

We need an ambulance.

Someone's been shot.

- Am I gonna be okay?

- Yes.

Absolutely.

Absolutely. Come on.

Breathe.

No, no, no!

Come on. Come on, Jones.

The cops are downstairs.

They probably heard the shot.

- They're probably coming.

- Wait!

Wait.

What are we gonna tell the cops?

Let's get our stories straight.

Our story?

What's the matter with you?

We just got to tell them

what happened, because...

...this was an accident.

You know what? I should tell them

you killed her!

Don't be nuts now!

We just got to tell them...

Tell them the truth? Why?

You don't! Lying, raping Naomi!

Wait! If you want me to tell

the cops everything I did, I will!

But tell them I didn't kill Jones!

I'm gonna let them in.

Sh*t!

All right!

I raped Naomi!

And that b*tch deserved it!

But I didn't kill anybody!

I raped Naomi!

And that b*tch deserved it!

But I didn't kill anybody!

Will wonders never cease?

Derrick Webb tells the truth.

What is this?

Hello, Derrick.

Naomi?

When Jones brought this to us

I never thought it would work.

And then when you were pounding

the sh*t out of me...

...I thought, "This had better work. "

You know what? It was worth it.

It worked better than I could

have ever possibly imagined.

Who's the victim now?

Derrick, this is Matt Curtis.

He does a little driving

for Naomi's dad.

This is Mark. He's in my calc class.

Thanks for your help, professor.

See you at the Plaza.

It turns out, just this once,

I did lie better than you.

What are people going to think?

What are they gonna say about me?

It's only words. How bad could it be?
