What have I done?

I don't know what happened.

We were having so much fun,

JILLIAN:
What do you mean freaked out?

(KNOCKING

- I have to go.

- Wait, Elissa...

SARAH:
Can I come in?

I, uh... I wanted to apologize

for the way I handled things with Ryan.

It's fine, don't worry about it.

You know I'm just trying to take care

of you. You know that, right?

Yes.

I wish sometimes

you could tell me things.

That you'd let me help you.

OK. I will.

Um, I got you something for your show.

Thank you.

It's some makeup.

I'm trying to do this mom thing,

you know?

I know.

Don't like the coffee?

Boy, you're really working that

whole Rebel Without a Cause thing

pretty hard over here, huh?

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYS)

On the house.

It's OK, I'm not that hungry.

Come on, I'll throw in a glass of milk.

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

- Hello?

- RYAN:
Elissa, it's me.

I want to see you.

I don't know. I don't really understand.

What happened the other night?

Look, I'm really,

really sorry about that.

Ryan, are you OK?

You don't sound so good.

I just need to see you, there's some...

There's some things I need to tell you.

What?

I'll tell you later, OK?

- Promise?

- Yeah.

JAKE:
Come on,

are we going to play or what?

OK, I got to go. I'm doing

Battle of the Bands at school.

You should come.

- RYAN:
OK.

- OK. Bye.

What?

Nothing.

(RYAN SIGHS)

Look at this.

Look, the freak finally

decided to show up.

BOY:
I hear the retard hooked up

with the new girl.

TYLER:
For real?

You tapping that?

I guess it's official.

She will screw anyone.

That's sad.

(KNOCKING

He only got one place to go, come on!

Come on!

Ryan! Ryan!

ELISSA:
Hey, you a**holes!

BOY:
Let's go, go, go!

Drive, drive, drive, drive!

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

- Hi.

- SARAH:
Honey, where are you?

- I'm at home.

- So, you're not with Ryan?

No.

Well, Tyler was just

admitted to the hospital.

Did he and Ryan have a fight.

Did you see what happened?

Mom, he was defending himself.

Like, six guys jumped him.

- OK, well, I still, I want you home.

- I am home!

- You don't believe me, call me!

- OK, I'm going to call you.

- Hey.

- Oh, hey.

- You OK?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

(BEEPING)

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

Believe me now? I'll see you later.

(FAINT RATTLING)

I want Ryan Jacobson arrested, now!

Calm down, Bonnie.

I'm going to take Tyler's statement,

and I'm going to take Ryan's,

and I'm going to speak to everyone

there to find out what happened,

and then I'm going to sort this out.

Your son and his friends

have been picking on Ryan for years,

and you have let that happen.

- Don't give me that.

- Zip it, Ben!

Now, listen, if I find out

that it's Tyler who started this,

he's the one who's going to be brought

up on assault charges, you hear me?

- Why are you always defending him?

- Come on, let's go.

- That animal...

- That's animal's name is Ryan.

I don't give a damn what his name is,

but that animal's going to hear

from my lawyer.

Walk away. Walk away.

You all right?

Yeah. No, I just had a bad feeling.

I'm going to go check up on Ryan.

How about if I stop by your house

and look in on Elissa,

I'll give you a call.

- Just make sure she's there.

- All right, I'll call you.

- OK.

- OK.

(FAINT RATTLING)

(BANGING)

(PANTING)

(BANGING, RATTLING)

(BANGING CONTINUES)

- (SCREAMING)

- Carrie Anne, stop it!

Get out! Go! Go! Go! Go! Get out!

Go! Go upstairs!

Elissa, please! Could you just go?!

You're scaring her,

wait for me upstairs, please!

Please, just go! Carrie Anne,

please just calm down! it's OK!

RYAN:
It's OK.

They're not going to take you away.

Elissa won't tell.

She's not like the others.

- (SCREAMING)

- It's OK. You're OK.

You're OK.

She'll help us.

Yes, that's a good girl. You're OK.

You're OK. You're safe.

You have to promise me you won't

tell anyone about Carrie Anne.

Is this yours?

Yeah.

Promise me you won't tell anyone

about Carrie Anne.

Yeah. Yeah, I promise.

I have to go. My mom called.

(GASPING)

ELISSA:
Ryan, please let me go!

Ryan, what are you doing?

Carrie Anne died that day on the swings.

It's done.

It was my fault!

We were trying to hold hands.

Ryan, if Carrie Anne died,

who killed your parents?

I need Carrie Anne.

I can't have you and Carrie Anne.

But if you're Carrie Anne...

No.

No, Ryan! Please!

No, Ryan. Ryan, what are you doing?

What are you doing?

Ryan, no, please! Please!

Ryan, where are you taking her?

Please don't hurt her!

- Scream all you want.

- Please, Ryan, no!

- No one can hear you.

- Ryan! No!

DOCTOR:
He'll be walking with a limp

for the rest of his life.

- Sarah, can you get me an MRI, please?

- Yeah.

(BEEPING)

- (PHONE RINGING)

- (BEEPING)

(RINGING)

ELISSA:
Hey this is Elissa 's cell,

leave a message.

(RINGING)

- Hello?

- SARAH.' Hey, it's me.

I just called home

and her cell picked up,

so she's been forwarding her calls

the whole time.

I think she's with Ryan

Will you go over there first?

- OK.

- OK.

Ryan?

Ryan, please untie me.

It wasn't your fault

Carrie Anne died, right?

It was an accident.

It was my fault.

That's why they punished me.

They punished you?

I stopped them.

You stopped them?

What do you mean you stopped them?

- BILL:
Ryan?

- (KNOCKING OVER INTERCOM)

BILL:
Ryan?

Ryan?

Ryan?

- Hey.

- Hey.

Can I come in?

I saw someone

smashed your front window.

It's just kids from town, it's nothing.

I saw what you did to Tyler's leg.

You want to tell me about that?

All I did was fight back.

I'm gonna do my best

to get this to blow over.

But you need to stay out of trouble,

you hear me?

You ever get tired

of playing the tough guy?

I'm going to need you

to come down to the station,
