to be partnered with Eric.

I think about him all the

time when I'm whacking off.

I wanna kiss you on the mouth

when you talk dirty like that.

Have fun, officers.

Oh, Wallace.

Come here.

Hey, Terry.

Ig. I didn't know

you were gonna come by.

How's it going?

What's that snake

doing around your neck?

I made a new friend.

You want a drink?

Maybe something a

little stronger?

No.

No, I wanna keep my

head clear tonight.

But don't let me stop you.

Do as much as you want to do.

Jesus Christ, Terry, how many

drugs are you doing lately?

If you want to know

the truth, I have...

I've had a hard time

staying sober, you know,

ever since Merrin died.

I've actually been on kind

of a bender myself tonight.

Been having a very good time.

That's good.

I'm glad to hear that, Ig.

Sh*t, look...

I know things have been tough

for you lately, okay? But...

Well, understandably,

but I just...

But here's where the fun ends.

This is gonna give me

no pleasure at all.

What are you talking about?

Well...

you're my big brother, Terry.

I have always depended on

you to look out for me.

I have always tried to do my

best by you, Ig. You know that.

Except when you saw Merrin lying

under that tree in that dirt...

you didn't call an ambulance

and you didn't call the cops.

You just ran off

and left her there.

F***, Ig, she was already

dead, okay? There was nothing

I could do. The cops would

have thought that I killed her.

Even when I got arrested,

you didn't go to them

and tell them the truth.

No, now why would you?

Why would you do that

unless you were guilty...

unless you actually killed her?

Because I'm your f***ing

brother, that's why.

You understand if I-

I mean, they would have just

thought I was helping you.

But you never even

tried to help me.

All you wanted to do

was save your own skin.

You are a selfish

motherf***er, Terry.

And I hate you.

Yeah, you know what?

You're so f***ing right.

You're right.

I am evil and you

should kill me, Iggy.

That's what you should do.

You should f***ing kill me.

I mean, that's what

I deserve, right?

I mean, after what I did,

that's what I f***ing deserve.

The way I see it, I have

every right to kill you...

but I think I'm gonna let you

live and make you suffer.

Why don't you just

finish all that off.

What, all of it?

I think I've made myself clear.

Now there's nowhere left to run.

You are gonna see

everything she saw...

and feel what she felt.

And the worst part is...

you're gonna live

through all of it.

Iggy!

Iggy!

Terry?

Terry! Terry! Terry!

Help! Iggy!

Where are you?

Help me! No!

Punishing Terry was the

hardest thing I've ever done.

But forcing him to face

his demons was the only

way I could help him.

Jesus Christ, Ig.

I looked for you everywhere.

Look, get out of

here before I do something

we're both gonna regret.

We gotta move past this.

This is not what Merrin wanted.

So you're the expert on

what Merrin wanted now?

I was never gonna

tell you anything.

No.

So how long was it going

on between you two?

You don't want to know anything.

Oh, I need to understand.

It was just a couple months.

She was moving

out to California.

We wanted to figure out if it

was real before we told anyone.

And so when she got killed,

did you think it was me? Or like

did you think that I found out

about you and lost control?

If I thought you had anything to do

with this, I wouldn't be helping you.

Okay, well, I don't want

any more of your help.

Yeah, I'm the only one who can

help you. I'm gonna prove that

waitress is lying. I'm gonna get

Terry to confess to the police.

Just f***ing go, Lee.

Leave me alone.

And don't f***ing touch me!

The cross, dude! F***!

Are those horns?

Goddamn right, they're horns.

I'm glad you can

finally see them.

So now you have to

tell me the truth.

Merrin's cross can't

protect you anymore.

Why should I tell you anything?

You're not gonna

be able to help it.

I never meant to kill her.

You f***!

You f***.

I didn't mean to do it, Ig.

I loved her just as much as you.

I'm the one who fixed her cross.

She should have been with me.

Oh, you sure as sh*t fooled me.

I always thought you spent your

whole life trying to be good!

I try and control myself.

But you saved my life when

we were kids. You pulled me out

of the water right here. You're

the only reason I'm alive!

It was the stupidest

mistake I ever made.

I should have let you drown.

Then I'd be with her now.

That's a f***ing lie!

Thank you for coming to see me.

Listen, I think Ig is

gonna propose to me.

Do you know anything about that?

Maybe.

There are some things

that I've learned about

myself recently and...

I know now that I

can never marry Ig.

Why are you telling me this?

Will you come by

the diner later?

I really think it will

help if you're there

when this is all over with.

Of course.

Thank you.

Terry?

It's me.

Oh, Lee, wow, you frightened me.

What are you doing out here?

Come on, let's get some dry

clothes on you. I'll

drive you home. Come on.

No, No.

I want to be alone right now.

You'll get sick.

No.

You okay?

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Everything's okay.

I got you.

I got you.

What? What are you doing?

There's nobody here.

It's just us.

You're joking?

I mean, we don't have

to pretend anymore.

It's just...

It's fine.

No, No. No. Stop it!

Don't! Don't do that.

Just get off me!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I just...

I've been waiting for

this for such a long time.

I can't believe this

is finally happening.

I need to touch you.

No.

Feel you, honey.

No, look. Listen,

you are Ig's best friend.

You're my friend.

You're my friend.

Please, don't you

understand anything?

I understand everything.

I understand everything.

Every time the three of

us hang out together...

it's like there's this

elephant in the room.

'Cause we're so clearly

supposed to be together,

but nobody says

anything. You know?

And we stare at each other.

Merrin, we stare at each other.

No, let go of me. Don't!

You don't know the

first thing about what

I'm going through right now.

What the f*** are

you talking about?

What about all the signals

you've been sending me?

What? Signals, what?

Merrin.

Oh my god, you thought that

I broke up with Ig so that...

No. No.

But you know you love me.

I love you. I love you.

I love Ig so much.

Ow!

I love him more than the world.

That's the last thing she

said, that she loved me.

Oohh!

You want to know

what happened, Ig?

Shut up!

Ow! I love...

No, no! Please, no!

Stop it! Help! Terry!

I gave her what she asked for.

Ahh!

Jesus!

Please, Lee!

It's me! It's me!

I f***ed her tight little p*ssy.

No! No.

Then I bashed her

face in with a rock.

No!

You know what?

Love made devils of us both.

The way I see it, you

confessed to me...

and you were so

overwhelmed with guilt...

that you killed yourself.

So much... I always

wanted to try this.
