So I'll just wait to pee.

TYLER:
There you are.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- You're pretty.

- You're wasted.

And pitifully horny.

- What? I'm joking. Come here.

- No.

- Come here. Come here.

- I don't...

- Tyler, stop.

- Come on.

Tyler, stop it! Get off.

What's your problem?

A**hole.

(THUNDER RUMBLES)

(CAR APPROACHING)

(DIALING)

This is Sarah, I'm not here right now,

leave me a message.

Hey, do you need a ride?

No, I'm fine. This is my driveway.

No, it's not. I saw you move in

on Sycamore Lane.

I live next door.

It looks like it's going to rain.

Can I give you a ride?

No. I'm fine with walking.

You're ten miles from home,

let me give you a ride.

No really, I'm totally fine.

I'm waiting for my mom.

OK.

(RAIN PATTERING)

- Sh*t.

- (THUNDER CRASHES)

(MOANS)

(MUSIC PLAYS SOFTLY ON RADIO)

Your parents got killed.

I'm sorry. I know the people

were talking about it,

and I knew I shouldn't say...

I'm going to shut up now.

It's OK.

You just said

what you were thinking.

It's all anybody can think

around me anyways.

That, and why do I still live

in the house my parents got killed in?

Yeah, why do you still live in the house

your parents got killed in?

(CHUCKLES)

My family sent me away

when I was seven.

That house was really

all I had left of them.

But actually living there,

it's been too hard.

I'm fixing it up

and I'm going to sell it.

I heard you singing this morning.

You can hear me

all the way from your house?

(LAUGHS) It was nice.

You in, like, a band or something?

I was, back in Chicago.

My dad was in a rock band.

You got anything good?

Still using cassettes.

(LAUGHS)

Dude, we got to get you

some new music.

Yeah.

I used to have one of these.

Yeah, that was my dad's.

So was this car.

So are you and your mom

in Woodshire to stay?

I hope so.

It's so quiet here.

Not like where I used to live.

It's even quieter at dawn.

Dawn? What are you doing up that early?

I Sit Out back and I Write Stuff.

Like stories. it's easy.

I don't know, it's like...

it's like at that time of the day,

because everyone is still asleep,

all the best thoughts

haven't been taken yet.

(PHONE RING-S)

It's my mom. I better go.

Thank you, for driving me.

Yeah, you're welcome.

- Hey.

- Hi.

Did Tyler's mom give you a ride home?

No. Actually, Ryan Jacobson did.

Ryan Jacobson?

How did Ryan Jacobson give you a ride?

No one wanted to give me a ride,

so I started to walk,

he saw me and gave me a ride.

Why didn't you call me?

I would have come to get you.

- (SCREAMING)

- Carrie Anne, stop it!

Stop! Please, Carrie Anne, stop it!

- OW!

- (SCREAMING)

Stop it, Carrie Anne! Stop, please!

(GROWLING)

-Ah! God!

Sh... sh...

Sh... Its OK.

It's OK. It's OK.

Why do you do this all the time,

Carrie Anne?

Don't I look after you?

Listen, we have a new neighbor, OK?

Her name is Elissa.

Her and her mom just moved

into the Reeds' house.

And I want you to leave her alone,

you understand me?

Yeah.

B*tch.

GIRL:
Hey.

Elissa, right?

-Yeah.

- Hi. I'm Jillian.

. Hey-

- Um.--

- Thanks for tucking me in yesterday.

- Anytime.

I'm not much of a drinker

and I got sick

all over Caitlin's bath towels

and she threw a fit.

Who are these people,

why are you friends with them?

I don't know. I mean...

I used to go out with Tyler,

but he's kind of a dick.

He's worse than a dick.

He's a dick-hole.

Dick-hole is the new a**hole.

- Hm.

- Oh, hey. Jake.

Elissa, this is my brother Jake

and his best friend, Robbie.

You guys, this is Elissa.

Yeah, I've been wanting to meet you.

You were in a band.

- How did you know...

- Oh. Google.

Nothing is sacred anymore, right?

Everything's online.

Anyway, we have

the Battle of the Bands coming up.

So, what do you say?

- You want to come sing with us?

- And if you suck?

(LAUGHS)

We don't. Here, that's us.

Listen to it, if you like it,

come check us out, practice tomorrow.

OK, cool.

- Cool. Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

Bye.

- He likes you.

-I already got a job.

Excuse me, Officer!

Hey, did I forget to sign something?

Oh, no, no.

I just wanted to ask you something.

- I'm Sarah, Sarah Cassidy.

- Bill Weaver, what's up?

I just moved here with my daughter,

who's 17,

and we have a rental on Sycamore Lane.

And you wanted to know

if I thought it was possible

you had a 17-year-old daughter.

I would have to say no.

It's actually about Ryan Jacobson.

He drove my daughter home

the other night.

I was just wondering if you

knew anything about him. If he's...

OK?

Yeah.

Finding out that your parents

were murdered,

by your own sister, God,

that's really intense.

You'd think people would show him

a little bit of sympathy, right?

You know, I drove three hours upstate

personally to tell Ryan.

He was living with his aunt,

a senile old woman.

He had no one taking care of him.

He was taking care of her, actually.

Anyway, he moved back here with her,

she died about a year ago.

The Kid's had a tough, tough life.

Look, I've never had

any problem with him,

and as far as I know,

no one else has either.

But they sure like to b*tch about him

and their property values, don't they?

Yeah, I have heard people doing that.

- 710-49 at Main and Jackson. Over.

- Excuse me.

OK.

Sorry. I gotta go.

Thanks, officer.

Oh, hey, no.

it's, uh, Bill, OK?

Bill.

- I'll see you around?

- Yeah.

- Hi.

- Hey.

I... made you a CD.

Wow, thank you.

Oh, my gosh, my page.

Yeah... I wanted to listen

to some more of your music.

That's not weird, is it?

No. Not unless you didn't like it.

No, actually,

I thought it was beautiful.

Good answer. Whoa!

Stocking up

the old fallout shelter, huh?

Um, yeah. I don't like to go to town

more than I have to.

Wow, it's big.

What's up there?

Construction never really got finished

on this part of the house.

I don't have a wall or anything,

but I moved back here when I came back.

It's a little bit small.

Well, at least you're not a sleepwalker.

- ls this the family?

- Yeah.

Oh, Ryan, you're so cute.

And that's Carrie Anne.

Wow. Her eyes are so blue.

Your family looks really happy.

It must've been nice,

having everyone together.

Having two parents.

Carrie Anne was the head of the family.

After the accident, things changed.

Is that when they sent you away?

I've never really talked to anyone

about this stuff before.

ELISSA:
What's in here?

I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have...

It's OK, you don't have to go.

I haven't been in here in a long time.

ELISSA:
I thought she was 13.

This looks like a little kid's room.

She had brain damage.

- RYAN:
We were just playing.

- (GIRL GIGGLING)

Like we did most days.

We ran around, we'd play tag.

Her favorite thing

was to play on the swings.

My mom and dad were inside.

I was supposed to be watching her.

But she kept wanting to get higher.

(GIGGLING)

(INHALING)

Mom!

RYAN:
When she woke up,
